Richmond's Morning News with Rich Herrera

Happy "Friday Eve"!  First up this morning is author/commentator Donald Smith, who calls in to the show so as to talk to John about Congress' role in the removal of Reconciliation from Arlington National Cemetery.  (You can read Don's essay about the subject here.)

Finally this morning, John welcomes to the show our esteemed former Governor of Virginia, Doug Wilder. Governor Wilder discusses his ongoing frustration with VCU's administration regarding the financial loss related to a failed VCU Health development project last year.

P.S. Happy 93rd Birthday, Governor!!!

. . . and the New Hampshire Primary results are in!  President Trump's initial Press Secretary, Sean Spicer, calls in to talk to John about his former boss' decisive win -- and just why the Establishment K Street swamp creatures hate President Trump so much!

Meanwhile -- you can check out Sean's podcast here!

At the bottom of the 7 o'clock hour this Wednesday morning, John talks to VMI alumnus Bob Morris about a recent legal verdict against the institute -- and what Bob says is malfeasance on the part of current school leadership.

Hump Day!  First up this Wednesday is State Senator Bryce Reeves, who calls in to talk to John about the ongoing 2024 General Assembly session.  Senator Reeves also explains why he introduced the so-called "Sore Loser" legislation (which, incidentally, "died" in committee before reaching the Senate floor -- or House of Delegates -- for a vote).

For the latest installment of "Giving Tuesday," John once again welcomes Conexus Vision CEO Tim Gresham, who talks about the organization's ongoing work to improve the vision of area children.

Atop the 8 o'clock hour this Tuesday morning, John welcomes Delegate Nick Freitas to the show.  Delegate Freitas talks about the ongoing General Assembly session, the difficulties that come with divided government, and the philosophical differences between Republicans and Democrats.  

At the bottom of the 7 o'clock hour this Tuesday morning, John welcomes longtime Richmond-area activist Paul Goldman -- who calls in to talk about the concerns that he and local restaurant owners have about the city's recent handling of meals tax assessments.
