Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   Populous architecture in KC has released a "legend" of where the Royals new ballpark will be located and what will surround it.  It's part of an effort to rezone the entire area and will be featured at a public meeting Monday night.  This is far from anything final but I've got the details on what looks like an incredible development and area for baseball.  It could wind up being the best place for baseball in America!     It's hard to believe but your humble host got a really nice shout out on social media from none other than Mayor Q.  I'll fill you in.    A huge voter fraud story has been released in New Jersey about thousands of illegal aliens that became eligible to vote even though they checked a box they were not citizens.  And... it's been released by a Democrat.  This should be the breakthrough that breaks the dam for the SAVE America Act.   Jonathan Cain, from the band Journey, wrote the song Don't Stop Believin' and he has just unloaded on Bruce Springsteen. This is really good.    A major league player fouls a pitch off his body and winds up having a surgery I've never heard of.  You have to hear  this.     The Chiefs report to camp Friday, Eli Drinkwitz makes fun of Kansas on a national radio show, Aaron Rodgers is back in the fold with his family and a star from the Yellowstone spinoff is a whiny old man.

   After HSI raided a pasta plant in KC and hauled off a bunch of illegal aliens for processing, the leftist media in KC has lost their mind.  Now, they have absolutely nothing to report that anything was done wrong or rules were broken.  And it was certainly a lawful order from a federal judge.  So they resort to writing sob stories about "dire" conditions and starvation.  This is just insane.     A new study confirms what we already knew, people in America that self describe as "very liberal" have been diagnosed with mental illness at an alarming rate.    Nathan Willett is running for Congress in northern Missouri and he's now facing complaints that he has broken campaign finance laws.    Clark Hunt had a really interesting moment at Arrowhead Stadium during a World Cup match recently. Ahmad Hardy has been medically cleared at Mizzou but we don't know when he may be able to play after being shot at a concert in May.  Bobby Witt Jr leaves the Royals walk off win in the 5th inning with a back problem.    SEC Commissioner Greg Sankey is threatening his league may just break out on it's own and start its own college alliance.  Ryan Clark gets canned at ESPN during a commercial break and the largest pool in America opened this week.

   It went a little under the radar but my goodness did Marco Rubio and company open up a major discussion with a terrorism summit he hosted in DC.  Rubio identifies the dangerous leftists worldwide and brings the stats on just how lopsided it is.  Then he brought up Stephen Miller to swing a sledgehammer.  This is good stuff.    Philip Sarnecki rocked a KKHI tee shirt at a rally in Sabetha this weekend as he's running for governor.... LET'S GO!    Phil LeVota isn't running to stay on as Jackson County executive but there are rumblings he's going to run for Mayor after Q is term limited.  Oh, and LeVota is guest hosting my radio show one week from today.    Former CNN anchor Don Lemon says everyone wants him to run for president.  President Trump attended the World Cup and received a rough welcome from all the liberals and globalists in the stands.  The Royals gave up 19 runs Sunday.   A New Zealander wins the British Open.  NASCAR returns to a track after 30 years and Window World is the title sponsor of the race.  And in our Final Final... we reveal the main reason the World Cup succeeded in America

   The information President Trump released publicly is alarming and on a scale of 1-10 is probably an 8 or 9 news story.  But his speech missed the mark by a wide margin.  It may not have mattered if they delivered this in a better way but it sure didn't come off the way many thought it would.    The Blue Angels did the wildest flyover anyone can remember this week in Florida and is under review.  But the Pentagon says the shows will go on for America 250.    The man that operates the teleprompter for President Trump is in trouble for betting on Kalshi about certain phrases that would or wouldnt be in certain speeches.    In England, the British Open is underway and these guys are going low in perfect conditions.  One American player got the last laugh on a critic after his round.  Mike Tyson doesn't know Shohei Ohtani is a man.    Patrick Mahomes makes a bold statement that whether he plays or not in Game 1 has been taken out of his hands.    KCMO Councilman Nathan Willett is running for Congress in North Missouri and we'll chat with him about what he stands for an against.

   Kansas City has finally hit the big time and gone global!  No, not for the World Cup silly. Heck no, we got some dude stuck in the tank of a porta potty and millions and millions have watched the KC Fire Department cut him out.  I love my city!    Trump's address tonight is anticipated by two different kinds of conservatives.  Who will be right?  Also, the prez sez he's replacing dangerous, killer illegal alien truckers with military vets.  Great move.    Kansas Gov hopeful Philip Sarnecki sent me an unbelievable text yesterday showing me exactly where Kansas ranks economically.  His message is taking hold.    I'll share a dirty shoes story I experienced yesterday but there's no way you can guess what this is about.  The ESPY's are a bore.  Patrick Mahomes has teamed up actor Eric Stonestreet in a new commercial campaign.   Andy Reid is named #1 and our Final Final is a must see movie coming out this fall.

   We may debate what degree the Supreme Court is compromised because the justices are under threats of violence from the left but it's very clear this court is affected.  Justice Amy Coney Barrett appeared in front of Congress and is clearly terrified to do her job.  This is unacceptable in America.  We'll play the sound clip and you can hear her pain.    President Trump is just toying with the left wing media as he teases an address to the nation Thursday night that he says is a really, really big deal concerning election integrity.  I hope the tease isn't better than the speech.    Congress passes the Sunshine Protection Act by a wide margin and now sends it off to the Senate where it will probably die thanks to John Thune.    If you missed the All Star Game on Fox, well, it wasn't about the game.  This broadcast was a fantastic TV show and celebration of American greatness.  It was truly special and we are so, so back baby.    I'm over the disaster that was Jerome Tang coaching KSU basketball so it's time for me to apologize to KSU AD Gene Taylor who is just a terrific guy and completely respected and admired by his peers.  Taylor has been named to another high profile national position as selected by other AD's.  Yes, I had TDS.  Tang Derangement Syndrome.  I'm sorry.     Spain advances to the final of the World Cup and now I"m rooting for England to knock off Argentina.  The final is Sunday and then we get a very nice four year break.   Our Final Final is a cruise filled with Americans that was turned away by Turkey and Egypt....  because it was a gay cruise.

   President Trump will address the nation Thursday night and initial reports are this will be a scathing takedown of election interference and rigging of the 2020 election.  Of course, conservative believers everywhere think this will be the game changer that puts people in prison, changes our election laws forever and leads to a GOP supermajority.  I say don't get your hopes up for any of that.  You'd better show me something first.    US forces pounded Iran for the third day in a row, this time 5 hours of relentless bombing of "maritime assets" near the Strait of Hormuz.    Birthright citizenship reform is being introduced in the Senate by Jim Banks and it's a pretty decent plan.    Kansas drivers shine in the annual poll of safest in America, not so much for Missouri.    In sports, Jac Caglianone was way too excited and amped up for the home run derby contest as his dad painted the corners and repeatedly pitched it out of the zone.  Still, Jac's bomb in the upper deck was one for the ages.   Patrick Mahomes is no longer the best quarterback in the NFL according to a poll of NFL coaches, scouts and executives.  Mizzou's HOF class is announced.  Norway's star soccer player takes home a wild beast from his time in America and our Final Final is a reboot of one of the most popular tv shows in American history.

   It's a bonus pod as the schedule is a little off this week but we've now learned that Lindsey Graham's sister Darline has been named to fill his seat until an election can be held.    Then, the Kietzman's and their crew had a completely bizarre interaction with family members of Team Argentina at the Margaritaville Resort pool on Sunday celebrating a friend's birthday.  You have to hear how they acted, how the hotel handled it on their behalf and how much the local owners of the property and development received in tax money from all of us... BEFORE another $200 million more was handed out by all our area governments for this tourney.  It's hard to get me this fired up.  It was fun for awhile but we got fleeced.

We all woke up to stunning news Sunday with the sudden passing of long time South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham.  President Trump said he had just spoken with the Senator, who had just returned from Ukraine, and that Graham sounded tired.  Washington reacted to a man that even many democrats respected and liked.    Meanwhile, Trump issues a harrowing threat to Iran of what will transpire if Trump is assassinated.  And he's not kidding.    Argentina needed some drama in the 112th minute of its match Saturday night against Switzerland to advance to the World Cup Final Four.    The Royals select a right handed hitting outfielder from Louisville with the #6 pick overall in the MLB draft.  He's the third #6 overall in Royals history... the other two worked out really well.   And Stan Weber joins us after going to Big 12 Media Days last week and our focus is the upcoming season for the Kansas Jayhawks.  This is a make or break year for 6th year coach Lance Leipold.

   As federal authorities ramp up detentions in Kansas City recently, Mayor Q decided to speak out publicly about it....in Spanish.  One thing is abundantly clear, mayor Q is wrong in multiple languages.  He's literally an Ivy League educated lawyer and does not want to follow the laws in place in America that BOTH PARTIES passed in DC.   I may get a little hot on this one.    Then, the Royals have revealed some of their plans for parking and traffic flow for their new ballpark and it looks pretty good.  A Mizzou great ads to his resume of broadcasting gigs.    Then, Stan Weber is our KKHI correspondent from Big 12 Media Days as we talk about the league's new title sponsorship, it's place in the football hierarchy and preview K-State.  Monday, we'll have a full preview of KU's upcoming season.    In our Final Final, the NCAA announces a great new deal with the city of Wichita.

   In one of the truly gutsiest things we've seen yet, President Trump orders two nights of strikes on Iran while he's in a country that shares a 350 mile long border with Iran.  Then, he had to switch airplanes to fly out safely and landed in the UK to swap the first plane out.  Reporters asked what's going on and he repeatedly reminded them a lot of people want him dead.  Meanwhile, a third Trump plane with his family aboard makes history in Florida.  We need a scorecard to keep track of this man.    The World Cup has a huge referee controversy heading into the France vs Morocco match and the FBI is investigating Argentina soccer for money laundering and bank fraud in the USA.  Oh, brother.    Missouri beer tax is the second lowest in the country and it brings up a really big question as the state tries to move to zero income tax.    KC slugger Jac Caglianone is going to be in the HR Derby Monday night at the all star game in Philly for one very, very strong reason.  KSU and KU had media days in Dallas for the upcoming football season and had two completely different story lines.  The Big 12 has added a sponsor to the name of the football and basketball conferences.    And in our Final Final, an unbelievable $1m ring is given as a gift to a famous American.

   In one of the more unbelievable sports stories you'll ever hear, the Royals were popping champagne bottles in New York just like they did after beating the Mets in the World Series 11 years ago. Why?  Light hitting utility man Tyler Tolbert tied a Major League hitting record for the ages that's less likely to have happened than getting struck by lighting... twice!    President Trump says he's done with the Iran ceasefire and he said it at NATO meetings in Turkey.  This is really, really gutsy as he's not really as safe there as he is at home.  For now, the ceasefire is over and Trump is done negotiating.  For now.    ICE agents are increasingly active in one KCK neighborhood and they're happy to have you video recording their work.  We share a list of the most conservative colleges in America, one area school is the most conservative government school.    In Sports, Messi now has 8 goals in this World Cup as Argentina makes a miraculous comeback against Egypt and will now play Saturday at Arrowhead.  Former KU star Darryn Peterson is killing it in NBA summer play as he's pretty healthy now.  And we've learned that in World Cup cities like KC... it's all about the singles dating scene.  You have to hear this.

   At least we don't have to knit pick reasons why Team USA fell to Belgium in the World Cup because it was all the reasons.  The United States was slow, unorganized and back on their heels.  It was ugly, ugly, ugly falling 4-1 in Seattle.  And if we're being fair, it's not likely men's soccer in this country will be elite any time soon.    Something really bad is going on with Senator Mitch McConnell who is reportedly being kept alive by a machine at a hospital in DC.  His wife is reportedly in China.  And a GOP rep from Kentucky is blasting the Senate over the Save America Act.  And almost nobody is reporting on this.  It smells more than fishy as nobody wants to keep a loved one alive on a machine for weeks.    Pastor Adam Hamilton has set a cash record for fundraising, no surprise there.  Getting other people's money is his greatest skill.    Jackson County property taxes are coming down.  A new survey shows that audio only podcasts are the most trusted and popular podcasts.     The Hunt family has multiple massive projects underway in Olathe.   Trav and Tay wedding critics are everywhere and it all just needs to fade.  I"m ready for training camp in two weeks!    The Royals win big and their shortstop goes 5 for 5 and it wasn't Bobby Witt Jr.     And our Final Final points out a US Senator wearing Mexico soccer gear.   Ugh. 

   Flo will go.  That's the word from FIFA after President Trump called the head of the soccer organization with a plea to review the bogus call made in the USA's game against Bosnia.  Now, Flo Balogun will have his one game suspension delayed for a year.  Can anyone say, "Golden Age?"  We preview Monday night's match against Belgium.    The America 250 celebration in DC started, then delayed, then delivered even more well past midnight.  America was shining bright all weekend long.     The airport in Florida near President Trump's house is officially renamed after Trump this week.   The wedding of the year was officiated by Happy Gilmore as Andy Reid gives the deets on how it all went down.   Patrick Mahomes setting off fireworks at his house had Chiefs fans on social media absolutely freaking out.   A three time winner on the PGA Tour breaks down in tears, Pope Leo got a new signed jersey and Joey Chestnut is just flat out the best ever.

   The United States the most entertaining soccer game I can ever remember seeing with a 2-0 win over Bosnia Wednesday night.  They looked like the better team and played lock the better team until America's best player got a red card and the USA had to play the rest of the night shorthanded, down one player.  To say this match was dramatic and wild is an understatement.  We have all the details and explore whether we can get Flo Balogun back for the next match.    It was just another great moment of this America 250 week.  President Trump flew on the new Air Force One to North Dakota to see the Teddy Roosevelt library and museum.  The motorcade was led by Roughriders on horseback.  God Bless America.    More communists are winning primaries, the latest a broke 29 year old barista that got fired for bashing her employer for not supporting Palestinian terror attacks on Jews.  Wait until you hear the demographic break down of communist voters in America.    We have a wonderful conversation about Racin' Boys Co-Founder Scott Traylor with his best friend and long time business and broadcast partner Kirk Elliott.  It's all about the good times.    And in our Final Final we say goodbye to the German social media sensation that took America by storm.

   The Supreme Court has just initiated the first advertising campaign in the history of the world for foreigners to take over another country.  "We are open for business" is the message the court sent to billions around the world... come have your very own American citizen by visiting our great land.  Stephen Miller has some thoughts.    This puts the lazy GOP House and Senate on the clock to do something about it.  I've got a better chance of winning Powerball this weekend.    Malls are making a comeback being reimagined as gathering places for more than just shoppers.  Politico writes a piece on how uncomfortable Dems are that the World Cup is happening in America with such great success.  They wanted to blame Trump for failure.    Bikers take aim at the Royals plan for a new ballpark.   The Chiefs release new information about their stadium.    EA Sports college football video game player rankings are out.  Mizzou has the highest rated player among our top three schools.  K-State as the best quarterback.    And in our Final Final.... we recognize the best "claw machine" in history where you can win an awesome prize for just .25 cents.

   It seemed unthinkable I'd be staying up late to watch the end of a World Cup match between Morocco and the Netherlands but holy smokes when these things go to a penalty kick shootout, there's nothing like it.  Exhausted, cramping players gasping for air with one do or die shot at the goal and NO TIES!  We got a pair of these Monday and they were incredible.    The USA plays Wednesday night against Bosnia and our very own secret weapon is sort of a scam and shouldn't be an American.  This is a really fun story.    An engineering company has applied for re-zoning on behalf of the Royals and their new ballpark district.  Wait until you hear this.   The Supreme Court pretty much tells Congress to pass a law about mail in ballots.  Chris Stigall and Nathan Willett are firing shots at each other as they run for Congress.    And I remember race car driver and broadcaster Scott Traylor who was a longtime colleague on radio.   In our Final Final, Tay Tay gets boo'd even as trucks are unloading the goods at Madison Square Garden for what appears to be her huge wedding party.

 Three months ago, nobody knew the name and folks were dismissing another outsider with deep pockets as a guy on a vanity run for governor.  Then, in Iowa, the Trump endorsed candidate lost to the CEO candidate.  Same in Georgia.  And Oklahoma is headed that way.  Suddenly, Philip Sarnecki in Kansas had a lane and momentum and maybe, just maybe, we conservatives like the idea of Trump more than a Trump endorsement.  He's got huge media buys and now we all know the name.     In a comfortable conversation, the man who built a financial services company and owns a boat load of quick change oil properties around the country says he can do it all as the CEO of Kansas.  This is a fascinating race that any conservative in any state will want to keep an eye on.  

   The SAVE America Act is now on everyone's mind and it's getting worse for Senate leader John Thune.  Thursday in South Dakota, Thune's home state, he hosted a ticketed event for the state's GOP Fundraising.  Conservative activist Scott Presler, the man who worked tirelessly to fix Pennsylvania for President Trump, was denied entrance.  Presler even had a ticket.  You gotta hear the lengths Thune and his cronies went to in order to keep Presler from pressing the leader about the SAVE America Act.  They didn't treat Charlie Kirk this way!    One conservative in the House of Representatives says she has a caucus that will shut the House down for good until the senate passes SAVE America.  Let's go!    Team USA falls in a match that didn't matter, Netherlands fans had a big day in Kansas City but don't listen to the soccer boy hype that this was the greatest sports day in KC history and gay hating Iran and Egypt play Friday night in Seattle where they are having Pride Night.  Yes, please.  Dems, pick your side.  Jew hating Muslims or gays?  You can't have both.    I pitch a new theory for a rule in MLB for more dramatic game finishes and we ask who will be a bigger star in KC... Jac Caglianone or Carter Jensen?

   Authorities have finally found the crazy dude that shot up a bunch of cars on I-70 the first night of the World Cup in KC.  He's dead and apparantly was dead in a house they previously combed over.  But it gets worse.  It seems at least one police department wasn't interested in looking for him BEFORE the shootings as they were too busy working World Cup events.   Senator John Thune has ordered a 19 day vacation for the US Senate, right after Trump went too see them on Capitol Hill imploring them to pass the SAVE America Act.  This is so embarrassing.    The Netherlands fans are taking over KC Thursday and they seem nice enough.  But let's remember they are not American.... I have the deets on one reason why.    Saturday night's game at Arrowhead is shaping up to be a match where Austria and Algeria both want to lose so they can face an easier opponent in the knockout round.   A coach with the New England Patriots is marrying a reporter that covers the team and a popular fast food item from years and years ago is back for a limited time.

The NFL sent a letter to gambling quarterback Brendan Sorsby letting him know there would be no NFL Supplemental Draft this year and they wished him the best for his future.  It may be the first time anybody has stood up to the talented player and it's likely the best thing for him.  There was no way the NFL wanted this off season saga.  Good for them.    Meanwhile, the NCAA votes to change the rules of eligility and it's exactly the model President Trump put in an Executive Order on April 7.    A star tight end not named Kelce is all up the kitchen of NFL owners who seem to have enough money for grass fields for FIFA but not for NFL players.  We'll tell you who he is.    Is it the first policy difference between VP Vance and Secretary Rubio as they are likely to both want to be America's next president?  JD is handling the Iran negotiation and according to a report, that's how Marco wants it.  You want to hear this.    US manufacturing is at a five year high, the DOJ charges 455 scammers that have been stealing healthcare money from the government.  And in our Final Final, Space X has fallen back to earth.

   Josh Hawley just will not stop misleading voters about this SF Giants Pride Night story.  Hawley got a letter back from MLB commish Rob Manfred and immediately fibbed with a post about what the letter says.  It's unreal he's doing this.  Hawley was wrong, this was not an MLB issue.  It was a Giants issue and I'd be thrilled if he went on the attack and found out what the Giants did.  But baseball has done nothing wrong and actually has a fine policy in place.     A far left judge born in Trinidad and worked for Sonia Sotomayor is the latest to stop President Trump with a ruling.  This tiime, the court rules the government cannot use it's own data bases to verify is a person is a citizen or not and eligible to vote.  This is nuts.    A new AI generated song and video called "Keir Starmer is a wanker" has gone viral, we'll play it for you.  Vandals at the Lincoln Memorial reflecting pool are being detained.   In sports, Lionel Messi does it again for Argentina, this player is the best of all time.   OU was picked 14th in the SEC pre season baseball poll and wins the national title.  The SEC is officially now a baseball conference, not football.  A Golf Channel analyst calls Long Island golf fans a "stain on the game," and he's right.  The Royals get a great outing from Michael Wacha in a win over the Rays, a Sportscenter legend is retiring and an up and coming music star has been charged with a felony after destroying his hotel room.

   A couple months ago when UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer wouldn't allow the United States to access England's military bases while attacking Iran, President Trump said Starmer is "not exactly Winston Churchill," and the trap was set.  Fast forward a couple months and Trump gets yet another win as Starmer has announced he's resigning after his Labour Party is just getting crushed at the polls.   JD Vance is leading the negotiations with Iran and it's off to a shaky start.  Shocker.    Dems are traveling to DC just for the purpose of having a chance to ruin the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool that Trump fixed... .including an Olympic athlete that has been arrested.    The World Cup has been a smashing success for Team USA so far even as a former US Goalkeeper says we have zero chance to win the Cup.    Iran fans are now carrying in so many flags and signs against the regime that not even FIFA can keep up with confiscating it all.    And an American at the US Open Golf Championship, a former winner, is treated like total garbage by New York golf fans... they are just the worst.     Royals slugger Jac Caglianone is on quite a heater this month.    And our Final Final is the ultimate "The Honeymoon's Over" story for a sports reporter in Pittsburgh.

The grand opening of the Barack Obama Presidential Library and Eyesore went just about as you would expect.  It's still overbudget and not paid for, on stage they apologized for building it on stolen land and Obama himself talked about slavery.  Then it got worse.  Springsteen and Bono, who look like they have Ozempic Aids, sang sad songs and the whole place was a bummer than tried to have fake fun.  Who would have guessed?    But here's a great story... the Marine Band at UFC 250 last Sunday night was so great they are all getting a bonus from POTUS and... one of his friends.    Josh Hawley is so wrong about Major League Baseball and players writing on their hats he's an embarrassment to Republicans everywhere.  I have the goods on him and it's pretty bad.    It's a big weekend ahead with the US Open Golf Championship and Team USA in the World Cup. Danny Clinkscale has a couple thoughts.    And our Final Final is a local baseball player and two famous musicians being sued over their steakhouse going under.  Beware of the this story Patrick and Travis.

   President Trump signed the memo that's that's a framework for a final deal with Iran and everyone seems to hate it.  But not me.  I can't say I love it but why would you not give it a try?  You can always go back to fighting... let's see if Iran is willing to follow some rules and play nice with others.     Republican primary voters continue to choose candidates from the business world as outsiders they want in charge... even when they go up against Trump endorsed candidates.  It seems we are ignoring Trump's advice while trying to find the next Trump.    Tom Brady is opening a store in KC Saturday and will likely be all over tv during the World Cup on Fox at the Power and Light District.    FIFA is just the worst.  The soccer has been great, the tourney is fun and FIFA is absolutely soul sucking.  We told you so two years ago.    The Royals welcome Team England to the K Thursday night as the Cardinals are in town.  St. Louis fans will get reminded, again, how much better of a sports city we are than them.  The US Open starts in New York as Scottie Scheffler tries for a career Grand Slam, the Knicks will be the first NBA team to visit Trump's White House and Jason Sudeikas suprise breakup with Olivia Wilde is revealed... by her.

   Argentina's soccer star Lionel Messi had a match for the ages Tuesday night at Arrowhead as he started quickly with a goal that was taken away by an offside call.  So he proceded to score three more!   All three in the match to be accurate as Argentina and it's 50,000 or so fans at Arrowhead went wild watching a 3-0 win over Algeria.  It was spectacular.  But how many Kansas Citians were there remains a bit of a mystery and doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.  KC residents turned out everywhere Tuesday for free fan events and watch parties and we're clearly finding our stride.    There were shots of some empty seats at Arrowhead even though 500 million people were watching on tv globally, and a Sports Illustrated writer posted a screenshot from a ticket service two hours before the start that had tickets for $69.  We cover all the stories, all over the country on today's episode.    The Big 12's lawsuit filed against Ken Paxton and Texas Tech was just a stone cold killer.  The suit had nothing to do with the gambling quarterback, wait until you hear what their rock star law firm dialed up for the conference.    President Trump stars at the G7 and touts peace, low oil prices and a skyrocketing stock market.  Then he just hammers Obama.    JD Vance's book tour is not going well.  It's not a disaster but I just don't understand what he's doing right now.  The annual fast food customer service rankings are out and for the first time in over a decade, Chik Fil A is not the winner.    And our Final Final is a new report on the astounding growth of podcast listening in America.

   After all the talk, all the promises, all the changes and all the hype.... we finally get a World Cup match at Arrowhead in KC.  Let's forget all the other stuff and just celebrate high level sports competition that really, really matters to billions of people around the world.    Texas Tech got hit from all sides Monday as the Big 12 filed a lawsuit to make their gambling quarterback ineligible, Kansas AG Kris Kobach fired off a letter and case precedent to the Texas AG and Tech's own coach put his foot in his mouth.  So it finally happened... we got a Texas Tech Fold 'Em.     Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice is free and we're hoping 30 days behind bars gives him a new attitude for how to live his life.    A massive terror ring was plotting a huge operation for UFC 250 at the White House Sunday night and it sounds like this group of folks really doesn't like Jews very much.    A local radio host steps away, again, to seek treatment for addiction.  Scott Parks says he hasn't been honest on radio and I have some thoughts on how free he will feel if he comes clean.   And restaurants around KC are adding fees to your bill for the World Cup so be careful and one iconic joint is changing the way it operates for the next month.  Ugh.

   It was the most epic Red, White and Blue weekend I can ever remember and it was topped off with a spectacular scene in DC for UFC Freedom 250 and a deal made with Iran.  Pinch me, if you will, because this just all seems too good to be true.  We are SO back and we are flaunting it everywhere from the soccer pitch to the Strait of Hormuz to the Octagon of Doom outside the Oval Office.  I voted for ALL of this.    Jackson County charges two men for allegedly stealing England's soccer shoes and after hearing their names, I only have one question I need answered.    The Royals may have found a new ace after a brilliant performance Sunday.  The San Francisco Giants have several players that weren't having it on Pride Night, the Carolina Hurricanes win the Stanley Cup and a whole bunch of Rod Stewart fans are not happy with something he did this weekend.

It has been 38 years since I bought a truck.  That all changed Thursday and I'm pretty sure my dad is smiling down on me proud of my purchase!    All quiet with Iran for now as Trump teases he may sign a deal this weekend just in time for the spectacle that will be UFC 250 on the White House lawn.    Mayor Q was on Pete Mundo's radio show and spit out a whole bunch of truth's about the Royals new Crown Center stadium as all the whacko "marginalized" groups are coming after him trying to stop it.  We have common ground against these loons.    The Chiefs wrap up mini camp week with a minor trade.  The Royals had a rain delay without a drop of rain... and then lose.    The attorney general of Texas threatens the Big 12 that they had better not take on Texas Tech and their gambling addicted quarterback.  It's Jello shot season in Omaha and Jerry Seinfeld seems to be everywhere this week.  We have cut to play for you in our Final Final.

   I didn't think it was possible but Trump's Golden Age is making the NBA great again.  It's true.  And on Wednesday night, they are calling a shot by a player from Jefferson City, Missouri the most iconic shot in NY Knicks history.  Taylor Swift went wild and a whole lot of people are feeling included by this league again.    In the middle of the bombing in Iran, their leaders called Trump on the phone and asked him to stop.  He told them to sign a deal or he's going to bomb them every day going forward.  Will this do it?  Who knows?    Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt is the star of the congressional baseball game as the GOP crushes the Dems... again.   But it's the uniforms the democrats wore that are the real story.    KC has released a list of bars that will be open 23 hours a day for the World Cup.  Zac Brown is proud to sing the anthem at UFC 250 Sunday night.  Patrick Mahomes gets a new contract that sets all kinds of records.  The Royals blow one against the Rangers on Pride night and Seth Lugo is injured.  And Charles Barkley is our Final Final again.

   So the kids are so unruly in Lee's Summit that business and city leaders have decided to end a 40 year tradition because..... why?  This is weak, feckless and so unlike Lee's Summit.  Grow a backbone.    The situation in Iran, many have thought, would always be wrapped up by this weekend as a personal goal of President Trump.  Now he's threatening stronger action against them with more military strikes.  Oh, brother.    The Netherlands takes over Riverside for the World Cup and there's something about the "Oranje" that I kinda like.  I think I will root for them.    We have an update on the price of Madison Square Garden for Travis and Taylor's wedding.     Wouldn't it just be awesome if Patrick Mahomes stepped up the microphone and blasted his alma mater, Texas Tech, for their outrageous handling of a quarterback with a huge gambling problem?   I'll explain how.    A fan from Germany is going viral for showing some of things we take for granted in America and making them sound great.    Charles Barkley makes a comment about a performer's boobs, a record marlin could be worth millions and Hunter Biden is proud to have been a crack addict in our Final Final.

   The entire college athletics world melted down Monday in a way we've never seen before.  It's not cheating, it's not stealing and it's not NIL.  It's a judge's ruling that allows a sports betting addict quarterback to play for Texas Tech this year while awaiting a trial about his eligibility.  It's literally everyone in college athletics against renegade program Texas Tech, and by extension, Patrick Mahomes.    The Chiefs are bringing back a familiar player.  The Royals start a homestand.  KU baseball has its magical season end just a step short of the College World Series.  A World Cup referee from Somalia is not allowed in the USA.    In the news, President Trump was a big story at the NBA Finals.  Kansas City is cleaning up for the World Cup in a way one of our listeners has shared he's noticed.      Phil Sarnecki wins a straw poll after last week's debate of candidates for governor.  Spencer Pratt is out in LA.    You won't believe the touching email I received from a patron about his daughter being a contestant on Wheel of Fortune.   And the Iceman turns into something disgusting after scientists scrape his corpse in our Final Final.

   Is the frustration of the Iran conflict starting to grind on President Trump?   He's got bold new statements on Monday morning just a day after NBC News aired an exchange with Kristen Welker that left Trump taking off his microphone, ending the interview and walking out.  We'll bring you up to speed on all of it.    Is it impossible for a pastor to win a Democrat primary in 2026?  A political science professor writes a story that leads you to believe there are just too many democrats that hate religion for Pastor Adam Hamilton to get nominated.    Gunfire roars all over KCMO this weekend just as the World Cup is getting started.  We have a great compilation for you of terrific celebrity grad speeches.    Team USA wears pride uniforms on D-Day... playing against Germany.  Who is in charge of soccer in this country?    KU baseball is on the ropes in college baseball, the Royals have a 5-2 road trip.  Travis Kelce has his own ice cream and leaves a big tip.  And in our Final Final, Charlie Sheen has a unique calculation of how many cigarettes he smoked over 33 years.

 President Trump had a full day handling questions about uranium in Iran, a reflecting pool filling with water and his planned trip to the NBA Finals.  All while dems say he doesn't communicate and isn't transparent enough.  This man is so busy it's incredible he doesn't get things jumbled.  He just doesn't.  And, just in time for America 250, he has delivered big time cleaning up the nation's capitol.  We have the receipts.    Ty Masterson changed his mind after doing this podcast and will now be part of the debate Friday night at JCCC.  60 Minutes has reportedly been courting Joe Rogan... don't hold your breath.  We share a lesson about teaching your kids instead of letting teachers or media get ahold of their brains.    In Sports, Bobby Witt Jr deserves better than what he's getting with the Royals and we aren't talking salary.  We ask one, big, sort of annoying question.    Pride month is sure fading in sports.  And you're about to hear one of the greatest Cinderella tennis stories of all time.   In our Final Final, Trump is quite the attraction at a Zoo in Bangladesh.

   It's a privilege to welcome Kansas Senate President and Trump endorsed candidate for governor Ty Masterson on the broadcast for the first time.  We'll talk about his expected strategy to skip a GOP debate Friday at Johnson County Community College, what the endorsement has done for his campaign, how he will attack property taxes if elected and much more.  Masterson is the presumed front runner now and here's a chance to get to know him a little.    Then, Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice is getting out of jail for knee treatment at the hospital.  Maybe, just maybe, there is a little embarrassment in this for him.  I'll explain how.  We also have news from Chiefs OTA's and a hidden injury for one Chiefs star they kept quiet all year in 2025.    North Kansas City has put a temporary ban in place to pitch a tent in a public space... because the World Cup is here.  Seems like a decent full time idea to me.    And where the heck are my taco shells?  A KC brand must be having quite a comeback because I can't find any of them.

   Watching a couple great Republican candidates have success in the primaries in California is fun and it does signal something significant.  But don't buy into the hype that Spencer Pratt or Steve Hilton will win their general elections.  California is locked down by the dems in every way imaginable.    60 Minutes lead anchor Scott Pelley threw a giant hissy fit at the office Monday in front of the whole staff trashing his new boss.  So the new boss wasn't the same as the old boss and fired Pelley.  This is so good.    Three Argentinian soccer fans on bicycles traveled over 10,000 miles the past 10 months to get to Kansas City.  What we saw upon their arrival Tuesday was just great.    NBA superstar Steph Curry is taking over $1 billion from a Chinese shoe and sportswear company that has long been known for inhumane conditions for workers... and so far there has been zero backlash because of Curry's liberal privilege.    The Black Crowes get boo'd and have fans walk out of their concert in Florida after a USA chant breaks out.  Royals closer Lucas Erceg is not the man for the job.  Time for Daniel Lynch in that role.  The Women's College World Series is set and Texas Tech is supposedly the team to hate.  The NBA and NHL finals are underway, this will be a fun few days.    And our Final Final is an incredibly ambitious plan for 50,000 people to permanantly live on a ship.  You have to hear this.

   The Kansas Jayhawks get exactly the kind of break it takes to have a magical season as Oklahoma wins at Georgia Tech.  Tech was the top team left in the tourney and would have hosted KU with a win.  Instead, Tech is toast and OU is coming to Lawrence.  This thing just got real!    We got a sneak preview of the new Morton Amphitheater Monday night in Riverside and you're going to love this place.  KC needed it, we deserve it and our quality of life just got a little bit better.  You almost feel like it's too nice for an outdoor venue!    Multiple reports indicate President Trump had a very heated phone call with Israel's Bibi Netanyahu and it was pretty ugly.  We discuss what it could all mean.    The Kansas Governor's race got wild Monday, just before the official filing deadline.     A dude with too much time on his hands checked out all 32 NFL team websites and provides a list of teams that don't celebrate, mention or recognize pride month.  We have a crazy new poll for GOP presidential nominee in 2028, you have to hear how Vance v Rubio is shaping up.    The Royals are undefeated in June!  Yes, the team got a nice win but we have some player rankings for you that explains exactly why the Royals are so bad.     The Rams make a big trade, a Super Bowl quarterback is retiring and become an announcer and we've got the first set of confirmed celebrities for the Travis and Taylor wedding.

   The Kansas Jayhawks, for the first time in two weeks, looked lifeless at out of it through three innings against Arkansas.  They trailed 5-0.  Then they explode for 11 unanswered runs and win 13-10 to advance to the Super Regional later this week.  We have the details on who they will play and where.    Johnson County Community College smashed all kinds of college baseball records this year winning the National Title and finishin 67-3.  Incredible.    The NBA Finals are set and one bettor is $1.7 million richer because the Knicks and Spurs have made it this far.    The World Cup is finally here in KC as team Argentina has arrived.     Vanilla Ice isn't pulling out of "Freedom 250" and doesn't think it's a big deal if anyone plays or doesn't play.   Dr. Jill Biden continues to dish out lies about her husband's presidency and the Big Slick celebs want to bring an NBA team to KC.    In our Final Final, Morgan Wallen channels his inner Billy Joel.

 When I reached out to my friend Stan Weber a couple weeks ago to see if he could come on the Pod to talk about the Chiefs schedule, he said, "maybe."    Turns out, Stan was out of the country on vacation.   His first vacation.  Ever.  No joke.      We explain all of this as Stan is here to talk about Patrick Mahomes and how he's moving at OTA's, the Chiefs plan to get him back on the field and how they may ask him to play differently.  Oh, and we do the Chiefs chedule breakdown.  It's been worth the wait.     But wait until you hear about his journey involving a priest, a deacon and Pope Leo.  Stan went on some vacation.

   It hit me like a load of bricks.  I love watching Trump's cabinet meetings and then heard someone else say the absolute best use of these events would be to make sure children in schools watch them to understand government and civics.  Count me in.     ICE "protests" get chippy in New Jersey as Dems have started their summer plan to invoke some violence in hopes of influencing elections in their favor this fall.  Dr. Jill will be on CBS Sunday Morning this week and she finally says some partial truth as we all though Joe Biden had a medical episode in that disastrous debate performance against Trump.    Friends star Mathew Perry had a live in assistant and that man was sentenced to 41 months in jail this week.  Wait until you hear the details and what the family is saying about somebody they thought was their friend.    The Yankees just flat out OWN the Royals... what a disaster this baseball season is.   KU tickets were not really on sale yesterday for the NCAA baseball regional and this is getting wild.  The Washington Nationals exec caught on tape is now on leave.  Trump is headed to the NBA Finals and the Chargers quarterback skips OTA's to be with his girlfriend.

   In all our lives, it's never been more important for a candidate to have an endorsement than ANY Republican in a primary right now.  President Trump runs his record to 118-0 in primary endorsements for Governors, Senators and House reps as Ken Paxton just obliterates John Cornyn in Texas.  And some people yawned when Ty Masterson got Trump's endorsement for Kansas Governor?  Nobody has ever had control of an electorate like Trump does and it's spectacular.    An MLB exec is caught on tape saying all kinds of crazy things including that he's a communist and ball players on his team are characters "in silly costumes."  You gotta hear this as, shocker, it's in our nation's capitol.    There are 16 host sites for the upcoming World Cup and at least one survey ranks KC as the dead last worst place.  They gave reasons you can't really argue.     The Chiefs release video of Patrick Mahomes practicing at OTA's Tuesday and he just looks great!  Travis Kelce is buying a piece of his hometown baseball team.  The Royals futulity reaches another all time low.  NBA Finals ticket prices are out of control and we tell you the number one most searched word in America for people looking how to spell it.

   We begin the new week with a couple people me and my mom would like to slap (not that we would) and then move on to Trump's grand plan for Iran if they can get a deal signed.  It's something great for America and would represent a total reset of how a more peaceful world would operate.    Kansas Senate President Ty Masterson is running for governor and just got the endorsement from President Trump.  This is a really big deal.    Spencer Pratt is running for mayor of LA and has released new artwork on a campaign poster that mocks Barack Obama.  Bruce Springsteen is caught sitting down in concert and reading political slams at Trump and Elon off a teleprompter.    KU baseball is the most fun baseball team to watch around here since the Royals won the World Series in 2015.  Royals manager Matt Quatraro has absolutely had a terrible season leading this team and nothing worse that the use of his closer the past two days.    The Indy 500 was crazy great, the NY Knicks are creating the highest ticket prices in the history of the Finals and a man robs a bank for $1 for the craziest reason ever.

The state of Kansas has about a thousand issues Missouri doesn't have.  Eight years with a Dem governor will have that effect.  The state is 43rd in America in average income.  The state income tax is the highest in the region and for 2 million people it's a 3-6 hour U-Haul to zero state tax in Texas.   The population is shrinking and that's very rare for a red state.       Missouri is working toward zero percent income tax and the exodus of Kansas residents to Missouri would be an eastern moving tidal wave in KC.  The budget has soared over 60% for no good reason at all.    Oh, and the government schools are a total mess as they scream for more money from Topeka.    Jeff Colyer was governor for a year in 2018-19.  He left a surplus and a record of transparency and accountability.  It's long gone.    Governor Colyer is back after a full life as a surgeon, volunteer surgeon around the globe and years of public service in his home state.  He appears to be the frontrunner in a really crowed field for governor and here's here to tell you what he's planning to do to clean up the mess.     Then, in our Final Final, a 177 year old brand that reminds me of my dad closes down.

   Ok, there is one thing we can all agree on.  Rashee Rice is not worthy of playing for the Kansas City Chiefs.  The terrible teammate, terrible friend and terrible partner is a continuing crap show that isn't good enough to stay.  Reports, as he's in jail for 30 days, indicate he broke his probation by getting high.  Other reports try to tamp it down and say this should have been served a year ago.  Then another report that he's hurt and out for two months.  Stop.  Just stop.    On to less controversial things like NPR having two listeners, yes two, that gave them gifts totaling $113 million and they still want to lay off employees.    The Trump ballroom is suddenly a military installation and security facility for the White House.  Yes please.    Bill Self opens up with the Athletic and his non retirement sounds even more confusing.    The new, biggest star in the NBA should be the last straw that leads to raising the hoop a foot and making the court bigger.    I got an email from a strange source encouraging me to get FIFA Fan Fest tickets.  This doesn't pass the smell test.    And in our Final Final an overnight clerk at and Exxon station tries to steal money without hurting his employer and gets arrested.

Chris Stigall has done it all in conservative talk radio and podcasting and he's learned it's just not enough to talk about what's wrong.  That's why he's running for Congress, to have a chance to DO what's right.  Chris is a born and bred Missourian with deep roots in District 6 and while I don't have a vote, I can tell you his is the perfect successor to the retiring Sam Graves.    Chris is smart, funny, loyal and conservative as all get out.  He's a Christian that sees (and knows) America would never have happened without humble faith.   Most of all, he's a friend.  I'm biased here, folks.  You can't do better than voting for www.stigallforcongress.com.  He's got a Campaign Kickoff BBQ in Kearney at the Updike Barn Tuesday night from 6-7:30 pm and he'd love you meet you.  Even if you don't live in in his district, you will enjoy hanging out with these great folks. 

After Mayor Q took to Facebook to blame property owners and business owners for the change at iconic Town Topic Burgers to not stay open 24 hours, you had to figure he'd hear from them.  And man, has he.  We have the deets.    A clearly liberal judge in Lawrence has decided that the new law in Kansas to keep adults from mutilating their kids and pouring drugs in them they weren't born to have... shouldn't be a law at all.  This has ACLU money all over it.    JD Vance is headed to KC, Trump warns Iran again and Cuba may be thinking of firing  a couple drones at Americans as their oil has pretty much run out.    The Royals horrible road trip ends with a win.  One win.    Andy Reid does a series of interviews and they all ask him about Mahomes week one.  I found the best, most complete explanation of it all and will play it here.    Eli Manning tells a great Marty Schottenheimer story, the NFL has "rest disparity" now and when dudes win in girls sports in California now, they have a special podium for both winners.    In our Final Final, a big name celebrity cancels his singing tour as apparently nobody knew he had a band.
