Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   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.

   With all these deadlines looming on new parks for the Royals and Chiefs there's one question that hasn't been answered.  Could Kansas blink and extend their STAR bond offer to each team after the program sunsets on June 30. I have the answer and the details.    World Cup official in KC are now considering the possibility 650,000 people will NOT be visiting our fair city in June of 2026 and you won't believe who they seem to be ready to blame.    A new report out of Australia is the worst journalism in history as they report to us that dogs are bad for the planet.   In sports, the Royals get swept in the the Bronx, Vinnie tells MLB Network the swing move that changed his life a few years ago and Bill Belichick and his girlfriend are a funny follow.   Then, all the burgers you can eat in one month and George Castanza makes his major league debut on the mound for one American League team.

   Activist judges are working overtime these days to slow the Trump administration.  Wait until you hear the resume of liberal judge Indira Talwani, a women who has temporarily prevented Trump from deportations.    Joe Biden gives his first speech since destroying our border and people may not have cared much until he remembered seeing "colored kids" when he was a child.  Oh yes he did.    Did you know Google is building $10 billion more in data centers (spy centers) in the Northland?  Wait until you hear how and who ok'd this.    It feels like the Royals are teetering on the brink with this road trip as they fall to 1-4 with another loss with absolutely no production at the plate.    A college player is learning the hard way to not play hard ball for NIL money and is stuck with dwindling options.    1587, the steakhouse by Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce, has something really special for you if you're, well, special.    Katy Perry is skewered on social media after her "space" flight on Blue Origin.... including by hamburger chain Wendy's.  This all has a big KC connection.

   KC Business Leaders have made a commercial where they all support keeping the Royals and Chiefs anywhere in the region, a 180 change from the messaging the past three years.  It's ok to go to Kansas, they seem to be saying.  Just don't go to Tennessee.  We break down what this shift means for the Royals in Clay County, Missouri and if this is greasing the skids for the Chiefs to go to Kansas.    Jackson County pols are desperately trying to get County Exec Frank White out of office by threatening a recall.  They have the signatures, but shocker, they don't have the money to pay the firm that got them.  This is a wild story.    I have an AI demo for you today that's really entertaining as one man asked AI to make a country song about beer.  The Royals better find some bats fast.  Colorado football is doing the most embarrassing thing ever.  A sports app spoils hundreds of thousands from men that thought they won and you've got a hard choice the next time you go to Chipotle.

   There won't be a more dramatic moment in sports this year than Rory McIlroy's playoff win at the Masters to complete the career Grand Slam.  It was just the greatest and he sobbed like a baby with no tears of joy.  It was all relief.  This really is a tradition unlike any other.    Cole Ragans picks up the Royals to avoid a sweep in Cleveland and this was bigger than most.  Ragans pitched deep into the 8th and recorded 10 strikeouts.    It was pure pandemonium at the UFC fights in Miami this weekend when President Trump arrived.  He also announced a tariff break for tech companies.    A Kansas City man that was falsely accused of being an illegal alien gunman at the Chiefs Super Bowl parade is found dead in his home.  And comedian Bill Maher comes clean on Trump.

   China raised tariffs over night to 125% and says that's the highest they will go as it essentially cuts off all products moving from the USA to China and they cut off Hollywood films.  Again, so what?  We don't send much to China and our films are 3% of their film industry as they already kept American culture out of their country.      Josh Hawley is having fun with all this from the political side as he says libs know this is the right play but have a hard time saying anything nice about Trump.  We also get the news that a giant pharma company is investing billions to build 7 factories in the USA to avoid tariffs on their drugs.  Let's go!    The Royals take 3 out of 4 from the Twins, even as the bats are struggling, and now hit the road for ten days in really bad weather.  This is going to be a slog.    A golfer takes a leak on the course at Augusta National and apparently they will let him keep playing.  Big names dot the leader board.  A high profile college basketball coach makes a surprising move, a ride at Worlds of Fun closes and our song of the week is an ode to small businesses everywhere.

   Donald Trump actually did shock the world with his announcement he's working with 75 friendly countries to not only improve America's trade situation with them, he's partnering with them to take down China's practices of ripping everyone off.  It felt like a glorious and historic day.    Meanwhile, the Dems are accusing Trump of manipulating the stock market while rooting for the Chinese to beat him.  They'd much rather Trump lose than America win.    DOGE unearths some ridiculous recipients of unemployment checks you just won't believe.    In sports, the Royals bats are quiet again in a  lifeless loss to the Twins.  A future KU basketball star is ranked the number one player in the country.  The commissioners of the four power conferences in college athletics are sitting down for a joint interview on fixing the business side of the NCAA.  And Billy Joel donates to a political campaign but it's not like a lot of the stories you've heard before.  

   The Royals have won three in a  row and it gives us a chance to move a trade war with China to the second half of the podcast.  We need all the good news Bobby Witt is delivering to brighten our day.  KC has a chance to bury the Twins the next two days.     The annual Masters Champions Dinner featured a guest that some believe is controversial.  Also, the tournament features its first set of twins competing.    Vegas odds say its a huge longshot for Stephen A. Smith to run for president.      The trade war with China is getting worse as both countries raise tariffs overnight.    A soccer coach of a 13 year old boy's team has been charged with murder.  He's an illegal alien and he's been arrested before and they've just let him walk until now.  Unreal.    Stephen Miller will brighten your day with sage words set to music, new polling shows nobody even knows what National Public Radio is and a California valedictorian is a free speech warrior.

    The Supreme Court has ruled that low level judges without a case before them can no longer stop the President from doing his job.  This is a big one but it begs the question.  Is it worth it for Dems to fight this president when you know these rulings are this easy for Trump to win?    Kansas Senator Jerry Moran is increasingly a problem for Trump as he's now joining other Republicans to try to slow this president down. Kansans need to be heard.    Stephen A. Smith from ESPN says he's no longer ruling out running for president.  Gary Lezak is back on channel 41 doing weather in the mornings.  Sort of.    The Royals are starting to heat up behind starting pitching and timely hitting.  The Florida Gators come back against Houston to win the national title and a salary cap in college athletics is getting close.  We have the details.  

   President Trump just doubled down on China and Europe from his fireside chair at the White House.  It's incredible, actually.  He says China is "a closed country" and Europe "rips us off."  Then, the called Canada and Mexico cheaters that don't abide by the rules of trade deals.  He's hand is getting stronger and he seems to really like doing all this.    Then, hear from Victor Davis Hanson and Warren Buffett on all this.  And Phil Mickelson isn't worried that heavy storms are pummeling Augusta National three days before the start of the Masters.  

   The Royals win their first series of the season taking two of three from the Orioles.  Bobby Witt Jr is starting to heat up and as unlikely as it may have sounded, Kris Bubic is the best Royals pitcher right now.  Up next, four against the Twins.    Carla Bernat is a senior at Kansas State but more importantly she's now a champion at Augusta National.  This is quite a story.    Sporting KC gets its first win of the year after a coaching change this week and the place went absolutely bonkers.  What a relief.    The prime minister of the United Kingdom says he understands why Trump is doing all these tariff deals and why voters like him over illegal aliens.  Then, he says "globalism is over," in a stunning declaration.    Fifty countries want deals with the U.S. and several have already said they will pull their tariffs.  Jaguar/Land Rover have stopped shipping cars to America for at least 30 days and our co-host Stephen Miller sums it up like nobody else.    For our final-final, is Disneyworld about to take a backseat to a better theme park in Orlando?

   If you're wondering if the tariffs are good for America, perhaps all we should do is look at the global reaction.  Leaders of allies and enemies alike threw a hissy fit as the tariffs take effect and I'm having a hard time figuring out how this is bad for America.    Miss Jessica has a favorite initiative of the Trump 2.0 administration... MAHA.  She is a huge fan of Calley and Casey Means, special government employees working for RFK Jr and we have an incredible audio clip to prove her point.  These folks go after health care fraud by confronting the perpetrators face to face.    Royals Reliever Lucas Erceg has an incredible future.... but also a difficult past.  He opens up about the demons he has defeated.    College football coaches are talking big about fighting the NCAA, the Final Four is set and our Song of the Week is just increbible about our movement to fight back with free speech.

   Trump used a chart to show the world what his "discount tariffs" will be with about 60 countries not named Canada and Mexico.  It's more than fair and the message from the White House is... "do not retaliate" as it will not go well for you.  Let's go!    The FBI is on a winning streak picking up bad people all over the land.  Over 40 illegal gang bangers were grabbed in Texas on the same day it was announced applications to become an agent set a new record for the FBI in March.    The Royals got plenty of good pitching the past two days but scored only one run in 18 regular innings.  But they are still tied for first place at 2-4!    We have Chiefs schedule news for you as reports surface about a road trip for the season opener and your favorite holiday.  Charles Barkley is out of touch on a recent comment... and that doesn't happen very often with him.  And a new media stock goes public and we all missed the boat.

   It's Liberation Day in America as President Trump's tariffs go in effect world wide.  Unlike election day, we aren't going to see results at the end of the day.  But, we are starting to see countries step up and say they are ending their tariffs against us.  We break down what may happen with all this.    The left has a new media hoax about a "Maryland dad" that was sent to prison in El Salvador by mistake.  This may be the biggest whopper of them all.    Trump dines with comedian and critic Bill Maher along with Kid Rock and Dana White.  According to Rock, it was simply amazing.    Iceman and Batman actor Val Kilmer dies at age 65.  The Chiefs have extended at least one contract to purchase land in Kansas.  The Royals bats go silent against the Brew Crew.  KU cancels its basketball banquet and the biggest story of the Final Four this week is the Auburn cheerleaders.   For our Final Final, you need Carolina on your mind for free food at a football game.

   Whew, I sure feel better about the Royals after they just destroy the Milwaukee Brewers on that team's opening day.  Everyone hit, Kris Bubic really pitched and this game was exactly what the Royals think they can replicate many times this year.    Chiefs owner Clark Hunt and President Mark Donovan gave new information about plans for new stadium while speaking with media at the NFL Meetings in Florida.  We have the finances and the timeline for you on two distinct options.    Legendary announcer Jim Nantz is an alum and huge fan of the Houston Cougars basketball team.  He tells us why he thinks they can win it all.    Trump's third term troll of the media takes a new turn as he talks about letting Obama run against him.  Hysterical.  Elon Musk is investigating how so many members of Congress became so wealthy.  And a new book reveals Dems were preparing for Joe Biden to die as early as 2023.

   Is President Trump series or just toying with liberal media outlets?  Nobody knows for sure but he has confirmed there's a way for him to serve a third term if he wants to do it.  The hysteria over this could be pure fire.    Leaders in Denmark and Greenland are not happy after JD Vance delivers a stemwinder about America leading the island nation.    Chief of Staff Susie Wiles speaks for the first time anyone can remember, we'll play some of it for you.  Meanwhile, Steve Harvey sets a member of his audience straight about whether or not to leave the country over Trump being in charge.    The Royals look bad losing two of three to start the year, we'll break down their issues.  There are many.  The Final Four is set with all the number one seeds.... snooze.  Gary Woodland sets a course record Sunday to finish second on the PGA Tour and looks poised to make noise at the Masters just a couple years after brain surgery.      Sporting KC fans demand Peter Vermes be fired and Morgan Wallen makes an awesome exit from Saturday Night Live.

   The Royals had the perfect setup to win on opening day when they started playing giveaway with the Cleveland Guardians.  It's only one game and we won't over react here, but we do want to look at what we saw and ask if some of these things are previews of more to come.    Meanwhile, Mayor Q explains how he's going to have $1.4 billion for the Royals to stay in Kansas City as owner John Sherman pivots from using the term "downtown" as his preferred destination.    The elite college teams are putting 100 or more points on the board and it's stunning to see how great they look and our Song of the Week is a new release that I really love.

   Here we go, the Royals are back at the K and talking big about last year's post season mini run being just the start.  Bobby Witt Jr is the hottest name in baseball, the starting pitching looks great, the bullpen seems fixed and KC has a leadoff hitter.   But it's a 162 game MLB marathon and we'll hear from GM JJ Picollo on the expectations.  Then, www.dannyclinkscale.com joins us to break down the division and we'll give you our thoughts on what will unfold over the next several months.  Enjoy, Royals fans.  Baseball is back!

   The Bob Fescoe Fiasco is one of the most embarrassing sports radio messes in memory as his report the Royals were locked in on Overland Park for a new stadium got refuted almost in real time.  It was ugly in every way and Bob, who's a good guy and terrific family man, must be hurting over all of it.  Mayor Q piled on him worse than anyone and now Q says he has up to $1.4 billion for the Royals downtown.  What?  Is Mayor Q pulling a Fescoe here or is he pulling a Trump and will actually back it up and deliver for KCMO?    Bobby Witt Jr is ready to play ball after the stress of his off season wedding, we have a fun clip.  Michigan State coach Tom Izzo has the greatest name and comments about the college basketball transfer portal.    Trump signs a wonderful executive order to clean up our elections, MTG is holding hearings with CEO's of PBS and NPR and I can't wait.  Kristi Noem and JD Vance hit the road in opposite directions and conservative talker Chris Stigall hates emoji's in texts.  I think I will send him one!    Our Final Final is a ballpark food item that doesn't mess around... it feeds the whole family.

   The baseball season is about to start for real and you can't believe how many strange and bizarre stories there are in one sport.  We'll catch you up on the latest Royals ballpark news, Vinnie's injury and then a slew of crazy things all happening at once.    UCONN coach Dan Hurley unleashed a foul mouth tirade in the tunnel walking off the court of his season ending loss Sunday and now he and his staff are under investigation for possibly threatening the reporter that filmed it.    Chiefs backup Gardner Minshew has a great quote on his role with the team.    A reporter for the Atlantic was included on a national security text chain but there was no security threat.  The better part of this story is what we learned by seeing this thread.  It's typical Trump admininstration.    Josh Hawley wants a new law to stop circuit judges from making national rulings, Tim Walz is apologizing about Tesla stock and a woke Snow White movie is a total flop at the box office
