Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   Thursday was a different kind of day for many reasons for your humble host featuring our meet and greet t-shirt giveaway, a crazy thunder storm and the strangest concert experience ever.    It happened on a day where the president of the Kansas Senate released a letter from Chiefs president Mark Donovan that details exactly what the Chiefs want to build in Kansas as they ask for a STAR bond extension.    The Royals are the third worst team in baseball over the past 50 game and that's no small sample.  As they get swept at home, again, it's time to start trading for the future.    There will be no podcast next Friday on July 4 so we take this Friday to take a look at the often looked over holiday playlist we often get wrong.  There is one song in particular you should never, ever play on the fourth of July yet it's actually ranked as the top song ever for this holiday.  It's by Bruce Springsteen and we will tell you the truth today about this America hater.    Then we play a great song that honors the flag as our song of the week.

   According to reports, Kansas has extended the STAR bonds that could be used by the Royals and Chiefs for new facilities.  Because of the way it was originally written, they could not extend it for a short time so they had to extend it for a full year.  What an embarrassment.    A columnist pens a perfect piece on why Sportsradio has declined in popularity in America, I'm sure you know I have some thoughts on this.    White boy Cooper Flagg, from Duke, is the top pick in the NBA Draft.  Will the NBA treat this superstar like they treat Caitlyn Clark in the WNBA?  He's playing in Dallas, no less.  These leagues have a choice to make.  Stick with all their traditional liberal hate and bias or embrace new faces for their league that make them uncomfortable.    Legendary coach Steve Spurrier was asked about Texas qb Arch Manning as the favorite for the Heisman this year and responded asking if he's so great, why didn't Texas do with Manning what K-State has done with Avery Johnson, who is 6 months younger.    In DC, the Joe Biden autopen scandal gets worse, the NY Mayor's race cancels a first date for a couple that exploded on social media and Alligator Alcatraz construction begins in the Florida Everglades.

   The head of NATO has assured President Trump that member nations will up their defense spending by 2.5 times as much as previously and publicly state to Trump, "it's your win."   Yes sir, may I have another?  Are you tired of the winning yet?    Kansas AG Kris Kobach goes after four school districts in his state and appeals to the Department of Education for help ending the ridiculous grooming policies.    KC World Cup is exposed even more for all the lies they are telling us about how big this will be, we have the details.   Randi Mahomes is all in supporting girls in girls sports.   And you'll meet Kelli Campbell-Goodnow, a gold star spouse who's turned her life's mission into helping kids who lost their parents in service to America get to college.  The program is www.valorpartners.org and you'll want to help them out when you hear about the great work they do.

   President Trump is beside himself after Israel and Iran break the agreed to cease fire.  He was so mad, he busted on the F word to describe how stupid these countries are.  Then, the cease fire was back on.  We'll see.     While they won't say which pilots flew the B-2 bombers over Iran Saturday, we have a pretty educated guess that one of them was Kansas City's finest.   Me and Jess have known a family member of the record setting Lt. Colonel at Whiteman that holds the record for most hours in the cockpit of a B-2... over 2000 hours.  We'll give you the name of Kansas City and the World's Top Gun.    The Supreme Court backs Trump on deportation but a lower court judge says he's ignoring it.  This can't end well for the lower judge.   It's crunch time for the Royals and Chiefs regarding funding for where they play. Patrick Mahomes has one very interesting salary cap stat, the NBA gets it's highest rating in 6 years and an ESPN announcer apologizes for no reason at all other than she works at ESPN

   President Trump is beside himself after Israel breaks the cease fire agreed to on Monday... so much so that he busted out the F word.  He's really hot... we have the latest.    While they won't say which pilots flew the B-2 bombers from Whiteman, we have a pretty educated guess as one Lt. Colonel holds the record for most hours in the cockpit.  Me and Jess have known a family member of his for years and we'll just call him KC's finest and  the B-2's Top Gun.    The Supreme Court backs Trump on deportation but a lower court judge is threatening to ignore the court.  This can't end well.    It's crunch time for the Royals and Chiefs regarding funding for where they play.  Patrick Mahomes has one very interesting salary cap statistic, the NBA Final game hits a 6 year record high an ESPN announcer that had nothing to apologize for, apologizes.  Unreal.

   Midnight Hammer was carried out with precision and force over the weekend as three nuclear sites in Iran are obliterated.  It was overwhelming strong and safe for our pilots and the remarkable sailors on a submarine 400 miles away undetected.   Our men and women at Whiteman Air Force Base were flawless carrying out this mission and we couldn't be prouder the Show Me state produced a Show Stopper for the ages.  This is America First.    The young person that set a pair of Teslas on fire in KC is looking at real prison time and that has the KC Star's panties in a wad.   These are the same people that praised locking up old ladies that walked into the capitol building to take a picture and walking out on January 6.  Imagine that.    The Royals were winning a classic low scoring game on Sunday, their specialty, before they let it slip away.  It's exactly the kind of game this team has to win almost every time they get the chance.    The NBA Finals were set up for a dramatic game 7 when a devastating injury to Indiana's star player in the first quarter put a damper on things.  LSU wins the College World Series, Simone Biles has had it with social media and golfer Keegan Bradley wins and creates a Ryder Cup dilemma for himself as he's the team captain.

   Jac Caglianone gets his first big league home run on a pitch so high its impossible to see how he got it out.  Then, he pured one for a second home run and may still be searching for the ball.  The Royals get a sweep and suddenly seem back in the middle of things.  Crazy.    Sophie Cunningham became the second biggest star in the WNBA this week as her jersey is now sold out and she's got about a million new followers on social.  Her game plan is a good one and you're going to be seeing a lot of her.  A lot.    Game 7 is set in the NBA Finals for Sunday night, the first in a decade.  The Dodgers are total frauds attacking Customs and Border Patrol with a social media hoax.   Michelle Obama blasts Barack without knowing it.  The former prez, meanwhile, wants the government to regulate free speech.  How communist of him.  And our Song of the Week could possibly be a repeat but I don't care.

   It sounds crazy but true... I thought I was in a movie scene yesterday and have a mafia story to share with you.  Who knew?   A network pundit says American blacks, women and gays have it just as bad as Iranians.  Oh, brother.   The white ladies OJ trial has ended and  these Karens happy!  Their blacked out, drunk driving hero is found not guilty of killing her boyfriend with her car.  Let's celebrate!    Our crazy lady them continues as a wild one headed to KC on a Southwest flight freaked out and gets arrested.    The Ollie Gates family has an idea for the Royals to build a new stadium and a "Royal Tower" at I-70 and the Paseo.    The Chiefs get sued, Travis Kelce is the talk of OTA's, Mizzou's Sophie Cunningham is becoming a big star, the Lakers sell for $10 billion and the College World Series final is set.   Our final final is one expensive breakfast at Disneyland.

   It's too early for any final judgement but cooler heads seem to be prevailing right now between the United States and Iran.  But it doesn't seem like it will stay that way.  It feels like Trump is waiting to see if Iran will fire first.    While Tucker Carlson is brawling with Ted Cruz, the best voice from the sidelines in all this belongs to Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee.  He sent a brilliant note to the president, in private.  Trump made it public and it's historic and gorgeous.    Scott Bessent announces real wages are up more than they have been in 60 years, Wallet Hub names the best and worst run cities.   In sports, Salvy scores another Royals franchise record in a win over the Rangers, Caitlin Clark just gets abused again on the court and the WNBA seems uninterested in stopping all the bullying.  Chris Jones of the Chiefs gives advice about getting advice in the most Chris Jones way ever.  The PGA Tour has a new CEO that comes from the NFL and the ratings for the NBA Finals are in the tank.

   Donald Trump may not be a king to Americans but he must feel like king of the world.  After flying to Canada and announcing a new tariff deal with the UK, blasting the leader of France as an attention seeker and then announcing he's leaving the G7 Summit early... Trump created chaos in Iran by posting on Truth Social that citizens in Tehran need to flee the city immediately.  This is pure Trump and it's obvious we're all just living in his world.    Minnesota officials detail the story of how two police officers had a chance to stop the political assassin but blew it, this is so sad.    An airplane crashes into a hangar at the Johnson County airport  but miraculously bounces once and stays on the roof and nobody was seriously hurt.    The College World Series had a wildly historic moment Monday as Arkansas pitcher Gage Woods tosses an incredible 19 strikeout no-hitter.  A college football dad brags about his son and I don't believe him.  Sportscenter is doing 50 states in 50 days and they are coming to KC... I'll tell you where.    And a baseball game gets really crabby in Virginia.

   The Royals just lost a homestand.  Every game.  All very similar as the bats are so silent you can hear yourself breath inside Kauffman Stadium.  Is this the end of the 2025 season?  Should the Royals be thinking about trading away players to build a better team down the road?  Well, somehow they are still only 3 games back of a playoff spot so we think they'll be hanging on a few more weeks.  But, man, its ugly.    The US Open Golf Championship at Oakmont in Pennsylvania was a hot mess from start to finish but what a little known journeyman named JJ Spaun did on the 72nd hole is the stuff of legend.    A guest columnist pens a nice piece in support of NKC being the best location for a new Royals Stadium.  KU Athletic Director Travis Goff says KU will spend more of it's salary cap money for Bill Self's basketball team than almost any other school.    Army 250 and No Kings Day made headlines this weekend.  One was a celebration of American Greatness, the other a collection of misfits bitching about Trump being a King.  And No Kings Day was plenty peaceful in KC but deadly in Utah and Minnesota.    Pope Leo appeared on the Jumbotron at White Sox park for a special mass this weekend.  Rand Paul may be on board with the Big Beautiful Bill and Fenway Park workers may go on strike.

   Iran was hit hard by Israeli forces after their 60 day deadline to work out a no nukes deal expired.  It sounds like it was directed by the US.    The Royals lose 1-0 to the Yankees and finish 0-6 against the bombers this year... this team is at a crossroad as the A's arrive for a weekend series that feels really important.    The US Open was better than expected as several players were able to handle the tough conditions at Oakmont Country Club, the biggest names from LIV Golf.    A local businessman I know has a fabulous tribute to his dad every Father's Day weekend, we'll share it with you.  Daniel Henks joins us to share the story of the Mizzou football team building a house on their mission trip with www.wonbyonetojamaica.org.     And our Song of the Week is perfect for a world on fire.

   When Jessica goes to a Royals game, you just expect them to lose.  And the non-competitive Royals held to form against the Yankees Wednesday night was we enjoyed the game with Guy Benson from Fox News and Pete Mundo from KCMO Talk Radio.  I'll share a couple stories.    The Missouri House passes the senate bill to support new facilities for the Chiefs and Royals.  It leads to Clark Hunt putting out one of the strangest statements you've ever heard.    Now Missouri lawmakers are imploring Jackson County to put up a vote for an additional tax.  One leader in Jackson County says it won't happen this year.  What?  And other members in Jeff City say they've done their job and want the teams to decide by the same June 30 deadline the teams put on the state of Missouri.    Tensions are growing with Iran and Trump addresses it.  A 787 Dreamliner taking off in India heading for London crashes after take off and the initial reactions from most experts is this was no accident.    Scott Bessent is stumping for the Big Beautiful Bill, Joe Rogan says a couple former Presidents came after him during Covid and AMC Theaters is making a move to help boost the bottom line.

   Fewer than 200 people gathered in KC to protest ICE and it was a comical group.  A whole bunch of white people with wrinkled clothes, ratty hair and bad signs complaining about the laws of our land is less than inspirational.  And they went home way before dark.  These are not ICE rallies, these are just the same people that don't like America or Donald Trump.    LA mayor Karen Bass implemented a curfew last night and it was ignored.  Political rioters and looters took to the streets and LAPD says 197 people were arrested.  And those who broke in to the Apple store had a rude awakening.  Apple tracked those who stole products, turned the info over to authorities and disabled the devices. Hysterical.  Steal shoes next time!    GM is spending $4 billion to move production from Mexico to the US and KC is getting a great boost at the Fairfax plant.   The Yanks blast the Royals and Manager Q pulls another head scratcher.  Aaron Rodgers reports to Steelers camp with a wedding ring and starts a bromance with former KSU quarterback Will Howard.  Bryson DeChambeau and the heavy rough are the big stories at the US Open and Simone Biles has apologized to Riley Gaines.

   It didn't take long for Gavin Newsom videos to surface that really destroy his current narrative and none are worse than a pair of social media posts he made.  Yep, Gavin loves the camera and twice before he has bragged about deploying the National Guard in California.  You have to hear this.    If the communists and anarchists have their way, Saturday will be a nationwide day of defiance being organized as something called Rise Up. Why Saturday?  There's three big reasons and we explain.    A Missouri state senator wants to name the St. Louis Cardinals the official pro baseball team of Missouri.  It's curious for a lot of reasons but he also wants to classify the Royals as something less.    The Yankees are in town and the K will be rocking.  We share a couple ideas the Chiefs could be considering if they stay at Arrowhead.  A coach at the College World Series is more than a coach.  The rough at the US Open and what the USGA does with this tourney every year takes away from the greatness of the players.      And our favorite local taco shells are coming back to shelves.  We'll tell you which big food company bought a local gem in Gladstone.  

   There's a reason Vegas didn't offer odds on where the open border, illegal aliens criminal showdown would take place because it was always going to be Los Angeles.  With over 10% of the state's population being illegal you knew they wouldn't all go quietly.  So they love waving the flag of their home country while burning the American flag and trying to hurt cops.  Even many democrats with side with Trump on this one.    ABC suspends a reporter/anchor for TDS.  Kansas pulls in an outrageous amount of tax revenue in May, wait until you hear how well the tax cuts are going.    With everyone thinking the Chiefs will renovate Arrowhead, consider this.  After only 23 years, the Broncos are proposing another new stadium with a complete real estate, mixed use entertainment district that is projected to cost $5.3 billion.  You really think everyone in the division is going to have a shiny, new, revenue generating stadium except the Chiefs?    Matt Quatraro has had his worst week as Royals manager with some puzzling moves but the Royals finish the road trip 3-3.       There's two more pretty good girl fights going on in sports and the college teams are about to have a salary cap.

   It's just absurd that Elon Musk and Donald Trump are having a very public fight but I guess this is what you get when you try to keep a couple whales in your farm pond.  Let's hope this cools off quickly.    Missouri politicians take a victory lap all day long Thursday as they are now totally convinced the Chiefs and Royals are staying in the Show Me state.    North Kansas City wants to party and they are willing to pay you $400 to do it.  The new Black Panther is white in Marvel Comic's new series.  A straight Ohio woman wins a SCOTUS case against her gay boss with a 9-0 decision.  This is huge.   In sports, the Royals split a double header but should have won both.  Manager Q and Cole Ragans have awful days but several players did not.    Aaron Rodgers signs with the Steelers, the NBA Finals begin with a buzzer beating shocker and your song of the week is an ode to great Americans.

   AFter years of inaction by everyone at every government level in Missouri, the state Senate saves the day at 2:30 am in a special session passing a bill that could keep the Royals and Chiefs in the Show Me state.  It moves to the House where it is expected to pass easily and then the governor will sign.  Now we will find out exactly what both teams want to do as they have sweet offers in both states.     Jackson County Legislator Manny Abarco is arrested and charged in Johnson County for domestic battery.  This after he apparently took his two year old son from his mother who filed a missing persons report.  Only in Jackson County.     Barstool Sports owner Dave Portnoy just unloads on an employee of his, radio host Kirk Minihane.  It's ugly and profane and you will hear what it's like to work for the worst boss ever.   Former Biden spox KJP has left the Dem party, Trump announces travel bans on 19 countries, the Royals play two in St. Lou and classy Dustin Colquitt retires a Chief.

   Jac Caglianone made his Major League debut and he looked the part even though he went 0-5.  The Royals also had their biggest comeback of the year.  It happened on a day where lawmakers in Jeff City made progress to getting money for the teams to stay in Missouri but didn't like the answer from team lobbyists when they asked for a commitment.    Bill Self believes he has a big advantage over other programs with the hiring of Jacque Vaughn.  Former pitcher Trevor Bauer wins another case against one of his false accusers after she breaks their agreement from 2023.    ICE has picked up the wife and five kids of the worst illegal alien terrorist of all time... the bare chested dude in Colorado.    Elon Musk is really, really mad at the Big, Beautiful Bill even as Trump defends it.  It may not be a leap to say an MSNBC Host has said the dumbest thing of all time.   Murder rates are down in America's cities but up in KC.  And another City Hall employee is filing a suit against Mayor Q's regime.

   All the excitement around Jac Caglianone being called up by the Royals was expected... all the controversy was not.  Here's why those saying the Royals are crazy to do this right now are just flat wrong.    The KC Star is making up bizarre reasons why Missouri will not get stadium support funding done in the special session.  How bizarre?  Would you believe they are blaming Pride Month?    KJ Adams is out of hoops for at least a year with an achilles injury and had said goodbye to KU.  Now he's back as Bill Self has offered him an incredible opportunity to rehab with KU's team of providers while working on the basketball "staff."    Trump polls are climbing even higher and some liberal pollsters are started to put together pieces about what makes conservatives tick.    The illegal alien terrorist that set fire to Jews in Colorado has ties to USAID.  And one of the escaped prisoners in New Orleans posts a video asking Donald Trump for help and suggests he will turn himself in.    Our Final Final is about Bills quarterback Josh Allen's celebrity wedding and a guest that has everyone scratching their head.  

   The Royals have called up phenom slugger Jac Caglianone after he just destroyed double-A and triple-A pitching.  It won't be easy in the big leagues but this was an easy call to make.  Even if Jac Hammer struggles a little, he's got to be better than what this weak hitting team has been trotting out.    The Chiefs are one of 12 teams in the NFL that are silent on Pride Month and we respect that completely.  Three NFL teams even changed their logos to include rainbows.  Wow.  And it appears the Rangers are still the only team in baseball not having a Pride night.    Patrick Mahomes receives totally valid criticism for being a terrible deep ball passer this past week and I may have a solution for making it better.    Trans winners have a field day at state high school competitions all over the country.    An illegal alien muslim terrorist tries to burn Jews in Boulder, Colorado.  How about we hold him in El Salvador while he waits for a hearing?   Josh Hawley tells an incredible story of Joe Biden getting lost inside the White House, Trump offers up 22% cuts to the budget and the R-word is back from the dead as free speech is spreading everywhere.

   All these agencies, departments and courts trying to slow or even stop the President of the United States from doing his job just doesn't feel very American to me.  Yes, it's a matter or historical fact that never in our history has any Commander in Chief been subjected to this kind of onslaught and it's tiring and old.  It's also not working.  So, what's the point?    Celebs take over KC for Big Slick weekend as the Royals host the first place Tigers.... this should be fun.    KU hoops has an incredible new lead assistant coach and a freshman Bill Self calls the best freshman he's ever had.  www.dannyclinkscale.com is here to discuss that, the stadium issues and his personal journey this summer 10 years after being cancer free.   It's a conversation you'll feel great about.  

   Well, what do you know?  As the Royals were shopping around for ballpark locations they just decided to start spending hundreds of millions of dollars buying up properties.  Somebody affiliated with the team now owns the $164 million mortgage on the 119th street property in OP and there is no way this is a coincidence or unrelated to a new stadium.  But it also may have zero to do with the Royals wanting to go there.  We explain all the inner workings and details.    No matter what, this news comes at the perfect time to put pressure on every city and county in both states that are trying to lure the teams.  And this was needed.  Let's get this all wrapped up, please.    Dr. Jill may have to testify if her underlings refuse to do interviews with the House.  Same for Hunter.  This is all about the auto pen and who was actually running America.    AMC Theaters stock went up nearly 20% after a record setting Memorial Day weekend.... the movies are making a comeback.  Noah Cameron pitches another gem for the Royals and is off to the best start of any pitcher in Royals history.    Bill Self talks about his crazy great freshmen Darryn Peterson and settling the new rules for college sports.  Travis may be looking to pop the question with Tay Tay and what's going on with all Jack in the Box locations closing in KC?

   It was a really, really bad day for the Royals Tuesday on multiple fronts.  All the attention is on a minor leaguer while former pitcher Brady Singer beats KC.  It gets worse.  Oh, and the team is looking for a new stadium in Missouri and after hearing the governor speak about a special session to get them some money, it looks like a very tricky proposition.    As OTA's begin, Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has earned a couple #1 rankings.  One for his great play and one for his super low salary.    Canada wants the Golden Dome to protect them and Trump has given them two options for it.  One of the options they can't afford.  This is hilarious.    Elon Musk hates the spending in the big, beautiful bill and he's right to be upset it's undermining DOGE.    Economist Stephen Moore admits he was wrong about tariffs, violence breaks out for Memorial Day and Trump pardons a reality tv star couple.    And our favorite KC taco shells may have been saved as a new owner appears to be buying the company.

   We're expected to find out this week exactly how Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe wants to address facilities for the Chiefs and Royals by holding a special session in Jeff City.   It feels now or never for the Show Me state as even Mayor Q is publicly saying he won't be a beggar to keep the teams.    What on earth is the WNBA doing allowing it's players to be publicly racist?  Are they trying to kill the only good thing that's ever happened when Caitlin Clark showed up?    Tom Brady did a ride along at the Indy 500 and got boo'd by the fans.  His social media post afterwards wins the internet.    Pete Hegseth gave one of the greatest Memorial Day speeches ever.  Rahm Emmanuel has plans to move the Dem Party to the middle and Scott Pelley ruins graduation with the most self serving speech ever.    The Cleveland Clinic  drops a bombshell on the really, really bad flu shot and we remember Duck Dynasty's Phil Roberston.

   Quite a debate broke out this week on whether or not Kansas and Missouri should be competing against each other to lure businesses... especially big ones like the Chiefs and Royals.  I think the best debate was on our radio show on KCMO and I've got a chunk to play for you.  It's spirited to say the least.    Trump slams the EU and says tariffs are soon going up to 50% if they don't come to the table.    The unofficial start of summer is here and Oceans of Fun is taking a pass because it's too cold.  Darn global warming.     The Royals have a really big series this weekend in Minnesota and hope its the start of good things from Salvy.    Caitlin Clark gets beaten up on the court... again.  She is the WNBA and if she's smart, she'll leave and start her own league. They treat her like crap and don't punish the race baiters.    College Football has found yet another way to help the SEC and Big 10 in the playoffs and the Song of the Week is from the most requested band from our listeners.  

   The Big, Beautiful bill has passed through the house, that's the good news.  Now wait until you hear what the Senate has to so.  Here we go.    An Islamic extremist terrorist kills a Jewish couple that worked at the Israeli embassy as they were leaving work Wednesday night in DC.  This is a horrific story and reinforces what America's position should be.    Long time Fox 4 anchor Phil Witt has written a thoughtful column about hunger in KC that deserves our attention.    The Royals bullpen pitches the whole game in a win over the Giants and Salvy moves up the home run list for catchers.    NFL owners keep the tush push play, Colts owner Jim Irsay dies and Jacque Vaughn signs on to work with Bill Self.  It's obvious Vaughn is the odds on fave now to replace Self some day.  

   We remember the great George Wendt, America's favorite barfly, Norm Peterson on Cheers.  Wendt had all kinds of ties to Kansas City and is remembered as a great family man and one of the all time great characters in the history of television.    While Trump was working on Cap Hill for the Big Bill, he kept bringing up Joe Biden's auto pen signatures and it's pretty clear now a huge investigation is about to begin.  Who exactly ran our country the last four years?    Victor Davis Hanson, on a podcast, muses that Kansas City could be a new destination for the FBI to have headquarters outside DC.  If true, this could be thousands of jobs here.    The Royals have another weak night at the plate and fall to the Giants, 3-2.  KU is having an incredible baseball season and their coach has just won a huge award.  And an incredible, global cycling event is here this holiday weekend and it sounds like the toughest event ever.  

   It's time to investigate Joe Biden and all his staff for the fraud they committed against American voters and the danger they put our country in.  It's all so outrageous that if it were made into a movie, audiences would say it's too unbelievable to take serious.  Trump should stop all his chatter about any other investigations and direct his folks to dive into this one.    CBS News loses another top person as they are trying to settle a lawsuit brought by President Trump.  CEO Wendy McMahon is the latest to get the boot.    Kansas Senator Jerry Moran (sort of a Republican) wants $50 million federal dollars for the cities hosting the World Cup.  I've got an answer for him.... NO!    The WNBA is all twisted up in one of these things that looks like fake race baiting.  It used to be in vogue and now it just sounds like crickets chirping.   Kris Bubic is officially the Royals ace as he tosses another crazy gem in his home town of San Francisco.  College Sports is reorganizing away from the NCAA and will have a powerful CEO and the Chiefs have a brand new power couple.  

   Of course Joe Biden has cancer less than four months after leaving office as it's all falling apart for the Dem regime.  Who knew what and when?  This is about to get ugly.  Really ugly.  We share info from a doctor that says if this is Biden's diagnosis he has had cancer 5-7 years already or his doctors committed malpractice.  Fasten your seatbelt.    A Mexican Navy vessel that looked more like a Pirates of the Caribbean ride slams into the Brooklyn Bridge and Chuck Schumer is blaming.... Trump.  Of course.    KCPD get serious about rounding up street racers just days after the FBI announced it was coming to town to clean things up.  This is a good start.    The Royals' number 9 hitters save the series for KC in a 2-1 win over the Cardinals.  This, after most people missed the game on TV Saturday night as a vandal is on the loose targeting tech companies.  Spectrum was completely shut down just one week after Google Fiber was hit.    Scottie Scheffler rules the PGA Championship, the Preakness may have been the best horse race of all time and our friends at www.teamsmile.org are crushing it again raising money for kids to get free dental treatment.

   My apologies in advance as I absolutely lose my mind over the once great Bruce Springsteen for turning his concert in England into a bash America revival.... before he plays a single note.  It's literally how he kicked off his tour and I'm really, really mad.    We'll turn it into a Fun Friday as the Royals celebrate their World Series' wins this weekend.      The House Speaker in Kansas says they are two weeks away from announcing they have approved STAR bond contracts with the Royals and the Chiefs.  What exactly does that mean?    Missouri sports betting is set to begin December 1 which is a total embarrassment.  What's wrong with September 1?    And our Song of the Week reminds us of something Springsteen would have done.  It's by The Killers and it's words are haunting about a real problem in small town America that only Donald Trump can solve.   And everyone knows it.

   The Chiefs Schedule is out and it's a roller coaster for sure.  What would you expect for the league's most important brand?  There's one high and one low as we discuss.    Missouri's hopes of  passing a bill for the Royals and/or Chiefs are fading fast.  Is this lights out?    And the Missouri Tigers football team is traveling on a Christian mission with www.wonbyonetojamaica.com and U.S. Operations Director Daniel Henks.  Daniel is a proud KKHI sponsor and owner of www.eeoutdoor.com who has dedicated years of service to Christian missions.   You will love this conversation with a truly outstanding member of our community. 

   We begin this early pod with an upbeat message for us and for America.    Then, a CNN host is promoting a new book that he hopes will clear his name by calling everyone else in the Democrat party liars.  Josh Hawley holds a hearing that proves Allstate defrauded storm damage victims... I've been there.   MLB reinstates Pete Rose, Shoeless Joe Jackson and 15 others after they've died.  It's the right thing to do but still feels so wrong.  Rose belongs in the Hall.  A Chiefs documentary is coming to ESPN this fall.   Then, a fabulous conversation with Kansas Citian Ryan Olah of www.freedomoneracing.com about their spectacular airborne crash at 216 mph in Arizona two weeks ago.  Millions have watched the viral video.

   We cover a few important topics you'll enjoy on today's podcast before sharing some personal information with all of you.  Thank you so much for being here and for being with us... this podcast truly feels like family.

   Again, Trump gets more done in one weekend than other presidents get done in a quarter.  We are slammed with important leads today explaining the 90 day trade agreement with China, Trump's plan to cut the cost of meds, and an American prisoner released from the middle.  And for the cherry on top, Trump is driving dems crazy because he's getting a new 747-8 for FREE!    The Royals bats were awful again this weekend so we will have to be happy they only lost two out of three to the Red Sox.    Kyle Larson wins at Kansas Speedway Sunday in the Advent Health 400 and it wasn't nearly as close this time.  And the defending champion of the PGA Championship this week has the snootiest champions dinner menu ever.  Count me out on rooting for this player.

   This may truly be the new Golden Age of America as Trump claims it will be... for crying out loud, we even have the first American Pope!    Meanwhile, Trump closes his first trade deal and the partner is the UK.  It's true, Trump's team negotiates the deal and then Trump gets on the phone and makes it better before closing it.  This is a great story.    The Royals are apparently never losing another series again.  They just drill the White Sox 10-0 on Thursday and everything is going right.   NASCAR takes center stage at Kansas Speedway this weekend where last year's spring race may have been the greatest of all time.    Trump asks Nick Saban and a really rich Texas Tech booster to save college athletics.  Charles Barkley calls college sports a ruined cesspool and our song of the week is a great one for Mother's Day.

   The first trade deal is done as President Trump will share details of tariffs with the United Kingdom on Thursday.    Street racing, break ins and unsafe restaurants in KC go global after local reporting from Fox 4 is picked up everywhere.  One European outlet refers to KC as a midwestern "Mad Max Hell Hole."  Ouch.    Terrorist supporting protesters take over Columbia University's library in New York but they forgot Biden is gone.  They got locked in by the feds and had to show ID to get out.  It didn't go well as at least 70 went to jail and many of them will be deported.    Bobby Witt Junior's two run homer is enough to beat the White Sox even though Charlie Sheen tried to give it away in the 9th.  The royals are scalding hot but a 9th inning change has to be coming.    Rumors are swirling everywhere Jacque Vaughn could be Bill Self's new lead assistant.  If he is... this has to be at least a first step toward the KU great possibly taking over for Self when he retires.   Isaiah Pacheco of the Chiefs gets his college degree, ESPN is announcing a new platform while parent company Disney is building a theme park in a country where being gay is illegal and Tyreek Hill chows down from his hospital bed.

   The red hot royals are on such a roll... they are winning now even when they haven't earned it.  The White Sox gift one to the Royals, thank you very much.  This one was absolutely crazy.    NPR affiliate KCUR in Kansas City is whining that Trump is cutting $500k from their annual budget but wait until you hear how little that is.  It's shocking.    I'm starting to think Canada as the 51st state was just the opening salvo from Trump and he's got his eyes set on something else.  A conservative, oil rich province.    ICE working with Tennessee State Troopers set up a roadblock this week and stopped 150 cars with illegal aliens, drugs, gang members and everything else you can imagine.  Dems are losing their minds over this.   Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent announces he's meeting with China regarding trade rules.  It's happening this weekend in Switzerland.     The New York Mets continue an outrageous streak and a Colorado Buffaloes fan is suing the NFL over Shedeur Sanders draft position.

   We begin with something I had no clue about and we're curious if you knew.   Last night was the biggest night of the year for birds migrating over Kansas and Missouri and the number will shock you!    A trip to the waiting parking lot to pick up my wife yesterday at KCI left me feeling uneasy about our airport.      That lottery winner that got arrested in Florida gets another plot twist as he violated his parole... and... wait for it: His girlfriend got into a fight too.  This just gets stranger.    Trump's scoring one win after another and announces he's building a fancy ballroom at the White House.  Don't worry... he's paying for it.  I think I know why.    The Royals toss their 5th shutout in the last 10 games... pretty hard to lose when the other guys don't score.  They also did something really nice before the game.    Bill Self has an opportunity to change a few things this year with one hire and a pitcher at Kauffman Stadium last night has an amazing story to find his way to the mound.

   In a very courteous and serious interview on Meet the Press, president Trump talks about 2028 and where the MAGA movement is headed.    Also this weekend, Trump was busy posting about Alcatraz being refurbished and used for America's worst criminals and he's set to host Roger Goodell at the White House for NFL news.   In Florida, a man that won $167 million goes crazy on the cops.    The Royals set a club record Sunday with 7 home runs against the Orioles.  Yes, KC is the hottest team in baseball and just finished the road trip 5-1.  This is fun!    Golfer Scottie Scheffler sets a record on the PGA Tour, Sporting KC wins in a way that has never happened before and the Mahomes' hung out with Tom Brady and Jelly Roll this weekend.

   The Kansas City Royals have returned from the dead and are the hottest team in baseball.  With a sweep of the Rays, KC is now 17-15.  Unbelievably, that's only two wins shy of the best in the whole American League.  The boys are playin' some ball and the 8-2 win was a complete beat down.    The Kentucky Derby is set for Saturday afternoon and we've got a preview with everything from the fave to mint juleps to who's singing the anthem.    We have more information about that tragic accident involving John Elway last Saturday when his 35 year friend and business partner fell off their golf cart and died.   The great Stephen Miller has officially topped himself by breathing fire at reporters gathered at the White House.  We have it for you.  That dem senator that had a bromance with the illegal alien gang banger in El Salvador is now distancing himself from the criminal.  We'll explain why.    And our Song of the Week is recommended by a listener in Wichita and it's a fantastic ode to prairie life.  The singer is from a small town about an hour from Wichita and the words are powerful.

   We have multiple lead stories today as the man arrested for bombing the Tesla dealership in KC is released from custody by a US judge in Boston and this is about to become a big national story.  Wait until you hear why this terrorist is back living with his parents.    In a shocking story, we learn John Elway was driving a golf cart Saturday in Palm Springs at a music festival when his friend and agent fell off and hit his head.  This story was unknown for four days... until Elway's friend died.  Now the Sheriff is investigating the incident.    A veteran pollster is in shock over the loyalty of Trump voters but I'm not.  It seems most of us put our country ahead of our own personal situation.  Of course we do.    Noah Cameron from St. Joseph made his Major League debut against the Rays and pitched a no-hitter into the 7th inning.  This is a great, great story but has a bit of a catch to it.   In Pittsburgh, a fan flips over a rail and falls. .  The fan is currently fighting for his life after earlier reports at the time of recording the podcast he had died.   A  former Patriots player thinks UNC should fire Bill Belichick, the Savannah Bananas are coming to KC and the Atlanta Falcons are fined for the Shedeur Sanders fiasco.

   While the media tried to tell America that president Trump is the least popular commander in chief ever, Trump was taking a victory lap with an incredible speech in Michigan.  It was a total takedown of globalists, a boost for working folks and a complete tribute to American Exceptionalism.  And, you probably laughed your tail off he was so funny.    We've learned more disturbing details about firefighter Graham Hoffman's death this weekend at the hands of a mad woman in his ambulance.  Also, a son in Grain Valley is looking at years and years in prison for being the worst son on earth.    That viral video of the speed boat crashing in Arizona gets even more interesting.  They won the race... and.... the team is from KC.  We have the details.    The Royals win another low scoring game, 3-1 over the Rays.  It's never comfortable or easy with this light hitting team... but maybe we are missing the big picture.    The Chiefs make commitments to two young defensive starts, a former tight end was right all along about Shedeur Sanders and a writer that puts out a gripe list focuses on places he hates leaving tips.

   We've officially got 100 days of greatness in the books and if you didn't know better, you'd think the world is falling apart.  It's been one good win after another with a closed border, deportations, criminals caught, prices down and a tax bill in the works.  Oh, and countries agree they will have to pay some tariffs now to balance things out a bit.    But the Dems seem to have a learning disability as they are treating this the same way they have for 10 years even though it's proven to fail.  Good for them.   Former KU basketball player Julian Wright has gone rogue against the program and specifically head coach Bill Self.  In doing so, Wright inserts himself into a very special category of stupidity.   The Eagles White House visit featured at least a dozen no shows and a dozen opportunities missed.  Shaq becomes GM of a college team and a legendary country singer has a horse in the Kentucky Derby.

   If you thought the NFL draft ended Saturday, you may think again.  More and more stories are emerging from this wild draft and none more compelling than Shedeur Sanders falling to the fifth round and getting prank phone calls from a young kid on social media.  Turns out the kid's dad is the Defensive Coordinator of the Falcons. Oh my.   We also go over the Chiefs selections.  The Royals winning streak ends at 6 as the Astros prevail Sunday.   That military helicopter that crashed into the American Airlines jet has some really troubling new information about why it happened.  And the feds roll up on 200 illegal gang bangers in Colorado at a drug and prostitute fueled underground night club.

   Hey, the Chiefs are pretty good at drafting players if you didn't already know.  This was just sensational as the Chiefs put enough fear into teams fighting over the 31st pick for a linebacker KC didn't want that they moved down.  One spot.  Yes, one spot and got the offensive tackle they wanted and picked up a free pick in the 5th round out of thin air.  Brilliant.    Mizzou's Armand Membou from Lee's Summit goes high at #7... incredible.  Receiver Luther Burden has to wait another day but it's not as bad as it is for apparently overrated quarterback Shadeur Sanders who was the night's biggest loser.   The Royals get a double header AND series sweep against Colorado and have won four in a row.  The question now is did they lose Cole Ragans for an extended period.   Dr. Jeremy Fry is our Friday conversation and he's picking our Song of the Week. 

   Let's do this!    The Chiefs are almost on the clock.  Do they go OL or DL with the 31st pick or trade up or down?  Stan Weber joins us to discuss the Chiefs' needs and what players from Mizzou, K-State and KU will do in the NFL if they are drafted.    We also discuss the top of the draft class and have a surprising twist at the end.  Stan's family life is centered around a strong faith as practicing Catholics and his son Landry is studying to become a Priest.  We get some very insightful comments about the tenure of Pope Francis and what he hopes for in the selection of the next pontiff.

   You can say bye bye to synthetic food dyes as companies will have to find a way to make our tasty treats look good with natural ingredients.  If you learn just a little about this, you know its the right thing to do.    Trump says he's being good to China and they will be happy with a final result when a tariff deal is complete.     Tyreek Hill has more court filings against him by his wife who is scared of him.  This, as a video surfaces of Hill faking tossing his baby off a 35th story balcony.  This man needs help.    Liz Warren freezes on a podcast when asked why she lied about Joe Biden's health.      The Royals can't let Wild Thing continue to be the closer after he walks three in the 9th Tuesday.  Somehow, the Royals came back to win despite Carlos Estevez blowing it.    An NFL scout says quarterback Shaddeur Sanders is "entitled" and had the worst interview he's ever seen.  Not the publicity you want right before the draft.    A WWE actor goes nuts on ESPN, we'll play it for you and a new sports reporter in KC gets a rude welcome after an unfortunate post she put up on X.

   A local story has gone national and maybe global and it's about KC.  It seems we are some sort of huge federal government hub and didn't know it.  Worse yet, DOGE is apparently destroying our city.  Only one problem, the facts don't back any of this up yet.  Still, people in other places will believe we are getting crushed.  You have to hear this.    President Trump is holding meetings at the White House with big retail CEO's.  The president is obviously concerned his tariff policy is about to hurt the American economy.  This is going to be one tough needle to thread.   Two liberal newspapers in LA and Atlanta report the same thing after extensive interviews with experts... illegal aliens are leaving America in droves and if they haven't left yet, they are trying to find their way out.    A former track star at KU wins the Boston Marathon and sets the course record.  The Chiefs are pretty good at the NFL draft, we have the proof.  A Sporting KC star wins a big award and a photographer in KC takes the best sports photo on the planet for 2024.

   A day after meeting with Vice President JD Vance, Pope Francis has died at age 88.  We'll discuss what this means not only for the Catholic Church but global politics as well.    Trump's Easter post on Truth Social got all the headlines Sunday but a post later in the day is the one I want to focus on.  It could be the simplest and most brilliant thing he's every penned.    Representative Nancy Mace unloads on a voter in a retail store and it was a total embarrassment for her.  This is NOT the way to handle a liberal that lives in your own district.    The Royals beat Detroit in 10 innings, 4-3.  If you ask me, I think they just kept their season alive.  It wasn't easy, nothing is for this punchless lineup.  But at least we aren't throwing in the towel in April.   KU sweeps KSU in baseball, draft week is here, Justin Thomas has a dramatic win on the PGA Tour and John Daly cashed in at the Masters.

   Oh no..... MS-13 man is a Chiefs fan!   This is just too much as Dems try to bring a wife beating, court ruled gang member illegal alien back from El Salvador where he is a citizen.  A Chiefs fan.  Is this Chiefsaholic's brother?    Champagne Socialists are everywhere these days proving to America they just don't know who we are.    KC resident and podcaster Doug Billings is running for Governor of Kansas and has posted a picture on X that is getting everyone's attention.    The Royals have three games left in Detroit and desperately need a win.  Or a rain out.  Losing these last three could put the Royals over a cliff... in April.  This is urgent to say the least.     Aaron Rodgers wants to play for less than any other QB, Rob Lowe sets a tour operator straight and our Song of the Week is one you know... but you probably don't know the story of it being played live 55 years ago today.
