Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   The Royals are still a million miles from being the team they need to be to win their division but after winning 5 of 6, the are suddenly only 2.5 games out of first.  Bobby Witt Jr's 10th inning, three run homer gets it done on the first game of the road trip to get the team, ugh, within 5 games of .500.    Chiefs rookie mini camp just means more this year as so many of these players will be expected to learn and learn fast.  The goal?  Turn these rookies into veterans after 8 games or so this fall.  Meanwhile, Andy Reid is raising money by cooking burgers and bras with his wife to benefit the Harris-Kearney House Museum in Westport.  He will cook for you if you buy a ticket at www.westporthistoricalkc.org.    KU hoops will not be outspent, for the second year in a row they've bought the #1 NBA prospect in the land.  At the same time, reports surface the NCAA tourney will expand to 76 teams next year in the worst sports decision of all time.  The worst.    The White House couldn't wait to post a photo of President Trump and King Charles with a really simple caption: "Two Kings."  It's driving the left crazy.  The DOJ goes after James Comey again, Jimmy Kimmel is reportedly in big trouble at ABC and a study from Saint Louis University reports young black people are leaving KC and St. Louis in droves.   Our Final Final is a former Chiefs player talking about seeing his coach snorting cocaine in the football offices.

   The Royals are still a million miles from being the team they need to be to win their division but after winning 5 of 6, they are suddenly only 2 and 1/2 games out of first.  Bobby Witt Jr's 10th inning, three run homer gets it done on the first game of the road trip to get the team, ugh, within 5 games of .500.    Chiefs rookie mini camp just means more this year as so many of these players will be expected to learn and learn fast.  The goal?  Turn these rookies into veterans after 8 games or so this fall.  Meanwhile, Andy Reid is raising money by cooking burgers and brats with his wife to benefit the Harris-Kearney House Museum in Westport.  He can cook for you if you buy a ticket at www.westporthistoricalkc.org.    KU hoops will not be outspent, for the second year in a row they've bought the #1 NBA prospect in the land.  At the same time, reports surface the NCAA tourney will expand to 76 teams in the the worst decision of all time.  The worst.   The White House couldn't wait to post a photo of President Trump and King Charles with a really simple caption.... "Two Kings."  It's driving the left crazy.  The DOJ goes after James Comey again, Jimmy Kimmel is reportedly in big trouble at ABC and a study from St. Louis University reports young black people are leaving KC and St. Louis in droves.    Our Final Final is a former Chiefs player talking about seeing his coach snorting cocaine in the football offices.

   It was just a dream I had... and it's already gone.  The left won't back down from challenging their pawns to radicalize and try to kill President Trump.  How can this be good for their party?  Surely America sees one party is for violence and death and the other is not.  But not minority speaker Hakeem Jeffries, no, he's doubling down on his "warfare" comments and telling critics to shut up.   Barack Obama could sure help by asking Jeffries and others to cool it down but that isn't going to happen.  Or, Obama could make a powerful statement that this isn't the way to advance the Democrat party.  That won't happen either.  If the dems win in November it appears we can never have Trump and JD Vance in public in the same place at the same time.  Hakeem Jeffries would be president if both were killed at an event like Saturday night.  And don't think the democrats don't dream of that.   Ron DeSantis is jumping into the gerrymander game in Florida to counter Virginia's temporary constitutional amendment. Oh, brother.    In sports, the Royals are only 3.5 games out of first place after a miracle win and sweep of the Angels.   We catch up with Stan Weber to get his thoughts on the Chiefs top draft picks and the new Royals ballpark at Crown Center.  The Red Sox fire 6 coaches in hilarious fashion and the wedding industry is booming.  But now, there is a better reason than ever to NOT spend big on the bride's big day.

   It was just a dream I had and it's already gone.  The left won't back down from challenging their pawns to radicalize and try to kill President Trump.  How can this be good for their party?  Surely America sees one party is for violence and death and the other is not.  But not minority speaker Hakeem Jeffries, no, he's doubling down on his "warfare" comments and telling critics to shut up.    Barack Obama could sure help by asking Jeffries and others to call of the dogs but that isn't going to happen.  He could also make a powerful statement, that won't happen either.  If the dems win in November, unfortunately we can't allow President Trump and JD Vance to every appear in public together again.  If they both got killed, Jeffries would be president.   Ron DeSantis is gerrymandering in Florida to counter Virginia.   The Royals are only 3.5 games out of first place after an absolute miracle sweek over the Angels.    We catch up with Stan Weber to get his thoughts on the chiefs top draft picks and the new Royals ballpark.  The Red Sox fire 6 coaches in hilarious fashion and the wedding industry is booming.  We'll tell you why it matters how much brides spend on their wedding.

   As yet another crazy man with unhinged writings filled threats tried to kill President Trump, the White House Assistant to the President and Staff Secretary Will Scharf was on stage speaking in Kansas City.    Scharf's alert on his White House phone sounded like a fire alarm and I should know.  I was on stage with him at the Clay County Republicans Dinner at Harrah's hosting a question and answer session.  It was a surreal moment and we have it on tape for you.   Also, the Chiefs crush in the NFL draft improving the talent on the defensive side of the ball in dramatic fashion.  The Chiefs are telling us something in their rebuild... we should listen.   Then, which political party is  supported most by NFL owners?

   It's a night I will never forget as Master of Ceremonies at the Clay County Republicans Lincoln-Reagan-Trump Day Dinner at Harrah's casino's ballroom in North Kansas City.     White House Assistant to the President and Staff Secretary Will Scharf was the guest speaker and after he gave a wonderful speech about his new found fame introducing all the executive orders and handing them to the President in the Oval Office, I sat down with him on stage for a  question and answer session.  It would be a mix of serious and fun questions... until his phone went off like a fire alarm.  The whole room could hear it and we all thought it was President Trump calling in to say hello to the crowd.  It was not.  It was just a moment after the assassination attempt in DC Saturday night and the next ten minutes would be simply remarkable for everyone in attendance.  Especially Will Scharf.  I have it all on tape and will play it for you.   Then, we go over the full Chiefs draft as it looks like they just crushed it.  They're clearly going in a new direction with the team.   And in our Final Final, NFL owners political contributions are very one sided... to Republicans.

   The bold Chiefs do it again moving up from the 9th pick to number 6 to draft the "smooth" Monsoor Delane out of LSU.  This gifted corner is expected to be a much more impactful corner than Trent McDuffie and will save the team $80 million over the next four years versus their former CB1.  And wait until you hear him.  He's got natural leader written all over him.  Long gone are the days of sitting and just drafting the highest rated player on the board.  These championship caliber Chiefs are relentless in getting the player they need.  And they did it again.    Delane was surprised and thrilled but the second happiest man Thursday was defensive coordinator Steve Spagnuolo who had a rough off season watching his player let go to make more money elsewhere.    KU is borrowing even more money to run their athletics department and it feels more and more like how DC works.    We have some incredible listener emails to share that could bring a tear to your eye and/or make you laugh.    The SPLC scam is particularly alarming to Ron Freeman, author of the book "Rethinking Race."   He shares his thoughts.    And we have a song for you to finish up that's fitting based on one of the stories we featured about my childhood earlier in the week.

   I am so proud to be a Kansas Citian on this day and can't believe I have the privilege to share it with all of you through a microphone.  The Royals have topped the Chiefs.  Missouri has topped Kansas.  Now, 2.5 million of us are all better for it.  I am truly stunned our area gets so many things right now after spending decades watching cheap owners repaint and spend money on useless renovations.  Hello Super Bowl!  Hello Crown Center's golden era.  It's time to shut up the complaining as the Royals did the unthinkable.  The took less money than Kansas offered to stay in KC and do something great for our city.  Quite a change from the David Glass and Lamar Hunt eras.  Wow.    A tip of the cap to Don Hall and the Hall family as it sounds like this was pretty much their idea.  It keeps their family's legacy project and helps them to continue something we love. Hallmark cards are about connection with friends and family and Hallmark Channel is one of the last places that's truly good, old fashioned family programming from an age gone by.  You see, some things are just too important to change.  Way to go.      We have a complete first round Chiefs draft preview for you including a red hot rumored trade between the Chiefs and an NFC team.   President Trump now says Iran hates the blockade more than the bombing so he may stick with it awhile.  And have you hear the wording of the question on the ballot that won in Virginia's gerrymandering change?  You have to hear this.

   Well, what do you know?  The Royals have a grand plan after all and will reveal it at a news conference Wednesday.  The plan is to build a new stadium at Crown Center and it involves tearing down a bunch of current buildings.  This is not only a great idea to revitalize an important, historic area of KC, it's going to save tax payers billions it would have cost 10-20 years down the road to rebuild the area with a much worse plan than a baseball team.    The team actually won a game Tuesday night, in the bottom of the 9th, without putting the ball in play.  Crazy.     The ceasefire with Iran has been extended and the US negotiators are still in DC.   Trump and Ron DeSantis may be cooking up a plan for the Florida governor's future that will surprise you.    Virginia dems squeeze one out in a 51-49 vote to change their state from a 6-5 count of congress reps to 10-1.  A current dem in congress quits after getting caught stealing, the UK bans smoking forever and kids sports streaming has become a huge business.

   JD Vance is headed to a negotiation with leader from Iran and it must be the strangest feeling in the world.  I'm not sure we know who will represent Iran at the meeting or if they will even show up.   How do you negotiate with terrorists and which terrorist is in charge?    It was pure comedy gold when Mayor Q joined Al Sharpton on MSNOW to talk about crime in KC.  You have to hear this slap fest.    Home schooling is booming as more and more parents don't want their kids in government schools.  And yes, we need to start calling them government schools instead of the old term.    Apple is the biggest company in the world and their CEO the last 15 years, Tim Cook, has decided to step down in September.  This is big news in the tech industry and big news in the corporate world.    The Royals do it again blowing one in epic fashion Monday night... and it's almost impossible to describe how impossible it was to lose this game.  They are so toast.    The Chiefs have the 9th pick in the draft Thursday but their overall position is actually higher than that.  I'll explain.  The Washington Commanders have a new logo and it may be the start of bringing back their name Redskins.  Lee's Summit West forfeits every football game from last year and fires three coaches and the PGA Tour ends a pair of tournaments in Hawaii after 56 years.    Our Final Final is low cal, local, crunchy goodness getting a giant rebirth.

   It's ok if you want to stick a fork in the Royals as it pretty much looks like they are cooked.  Tied with the Mets for the worst record in baseball at 7-15, they are hanging their heads showing us all there's something more going on.  Manager Matt Quatraro appears to be losing his team and it's so bad Salvy had to go on social media to disagree with his skipper.  This is a hot mess for a team that had real expectations.    Kansas Speedway just keeps delivering the best NASCAR Cup races as Tyler Reddick won a thriller Sunday afternoon.  Reddick has now won FIVE of the nine Cup races this year driving for Michael Jordan's race team.  MJ was at the track and walked across the infield to celebrate with his driver when it was over.  This is so good for the sport and a great day for Kansas Speedway.    President Trump posted one of our Navy ships working the blockade shot the engine room of an Iranian tanker that would stop heading to Iran.  They had a bad day as we then took over the vessel.   FIFA is really, really mad at all the democrats in New York and New Jersey as they prepare to host the World Cup.   Gracie Hunt posts a video of her lavish engagement party that featured the greatest trophies in sports and the St. Louis Cardinals are bullying local businesses by strong arming the city's Board of Aldermen.

   The city council voted 11-1 in favor of approving $600 million for the Royals to build a ballpark at Crown Center and the city will now provide a term sheet and start negotiating.  I'm excited this looks like its over and ready to think about what a new ball game experience will be like.  Owner John Sherman says there are two things the new stadium will have even though the architects hate it.    Meanwhile, the team is making steam come out of my ears as they blow all three games in detroit in the 8th or 9th inning.  Thursday was the worst.  In fact, I'll say it.  This was the worst, most hideous way to lose imaginable.  Only the Royals.    Trump was asked about Iran threatening to execute a female protester and he had a one line answer directed at the pope.  You gotta hear this.      The governor of Tennessee has signed a resolution changing June from Pride Month to Nuclear Family Month.  His reasoning could be the best thing you hear this week.    We play a cut from our Patron Podcast with www.dannyclinkscale.com as he tells what he believes the new ballpark village will be like.  Program note... he interviews Christian Okoye on his podcast Friday and I'll bet its great.    And Tiger Woods lawyers are asking the judge in his DUI case if he'll revoke the subpoena for Tiger's prescription records.  I"m pretty sure you know how podboy feels about that

   It's a topic I'd rather not get into but Pope Leo has forced the hand of this podcaster.  Our whole lives, politicians and the Pope stayed in their respective lanes and didn't cross over and tell each other how to do their jobs.  Pope Leo has changed that as it appears he's an American Liberal before he is the Pope of the Catholic Church.  President Trump has always been a counter puncher and there was no reason to believe he was going to allow a long time Trump hater off the hook just because he became pope.     The head of the oil and gas workers of America has posted a great video explaining how we refine which kind of oil and why prices reflect what we have been doing.    A jury in New York has found Tickmaster guilty of creating a monopoly and gouging music and sports fans all across America.  Hunter Biden is broke and has fled the country.    In sports, the Royals bats are officially the worst they have ever been to start a season.  Totally dreadful.  But the city council is about to approve $600 million for a new ballpark for the team.    It's NASCAR week at Kansas Speedway as one driver stands above, the Chiefs get a scathing review heading into the NFL draft, the Masters ratings Sunday were bigger than when Tiger won and we have a genuine cat fight in sports journalism as one female reporter for USA Today slams Diana Russini.

   Mayor Q says the only thing left is a "Chiefs-esque" news conference announcing a new Royals ballpark at Crown Center.  Despite a whole bunch of angry people showing up in opposition, the $600 million from KCMO is about to fly through to approval. The Royals team president was in attendance for the council meeting Tuesday and he calls this a "great project" that will pass.  It's very close to a done deal as we wait to hear what the state of Missouri is kicking in.    Kansas City will be soft on complaining about World Cup gouging and problems we experience for hosting but they aren't holding back in the northeast.  People in New York, Boston and Phildadelpia are going bonkers over transportation gouging of 800 percent, ticket switch fiascos and now.... NO TAILGATING at World Cup venues.  And yes, that includes Arrowhead.  Sorry fans, you just don't matter that much.   Scott Bessent says an executive order for American banks is coming and one of the benefits could be cleaner elections.  In Johnson County, they are keeping the name Negro Creek after years of trying to remove it.  You have to hear why the Dems have changed their minds on these things moving on from canceling and embracing something even worse.    A surgeon in Florida is indicted for losing a patient on the table when the removed the wrong organ.   The Royals have real problems... but it looks like a lot of other teams do as well.   Diana Russini quits her job over scandal and an American sweeheart has hooked up with another celebrity finding love later in life

    There are two meetings today to move forward on the Royals building a new stadium at Crown Center and we are getting a lot more details of what that district will look like by 2030.  The Parks and Rec board will vote to give the city manager authority to negotiate a lease with the team while the City Council meets to set up a schedule to move forward to approval of $600 million.  It's feeling like go time!    Kansas governor Laura (Karen) Kelly used her veto 25 times this legislative session but the good news is a whole bunch of them were overridden by a supermajority.  Good news... the protests at public schools are about to go away as we've known them.    Eric Swalwell's fall from grace has been years in the making, but, holy smokes is this getting ugly.  There's video everywhere... so much so it's like watching Hunter Biden all over again.      After Trump blocked the shipping ports in Iran, ships all over the world are headed to the Gulf of America.  It's incredible.  At least 125 empty ships are headed here to fill up 2 million barrels ON EACH SHIP.  Yes, that's $200 million worth of oil we are selling to 120 more ships.    When I saw the photo of the charred and pretty much destroyed Orion capsule our astronauts returned home in, I only asked one question.  You may be asking the same thing.    Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice posts the most hilarious post in Chiefs history as he suggests he will be looking for a new contract that pays him like he's the number one receiver in the NFL.  This dude has issues.    FIFA is working another bait and switch on tickets and Arrowhead and nobody can do anything about it.  Governor Kehoe is sending the National Guard and State Troopers to KC for the World Cup and I missed quite a chance to buy a piece of expensive memorabilia for a song a decade ago.

   Vice President Vance walked away from talks with leaders from Iran after 21 hours and the sticking point is a big one.  Iran's new leaders won't sign an agreement preventing them from making nuclear weapons.  That leads to the next step.... the U.S. will block all Iranian ports and cut off all their revenue beginning Monday morning.    Pop some corn, it's fun watching democrats tear apart the career of one of their own... former golden boy Eric Swalwell.  What a mess.    Rory McIlroy blew a six shot lead at the Masters and fell behind Cameron Young and Justin Rose on Sunday before making a comeback with a pair of timely birdies on the back nine.  And there was controversy with a past champion Sunday.    Why are the Royals off to a rough start?  How about this stat for you: Bobby Witt Jr has been on base 28 times this year and has only scored once.  Incredible.   Some people are calling for a vote to approve KCMO spending $600m for the Royals to build a new park.  I"m not one of them.  The people already voted on this by electing the officials doing it.  I debate Pete Mundo on this topic in a spirited segment.    College basketball transfers are happening so fast you can't keep track.  But it seems really strange to see all these KU players leaving.    Our Final Final is something for the cat ladies.

   Mayor Quintin Lucas says Kansas City has $600 million to build the Royals a new stadium at Crown Center and couldn't wait to share the news.  But he did wait until after he won an earnings tax vote on Tuesday.  This is politics and its best or worst depending on how you look at it.  Now, the governor is on the clock.  Jeff City offered the Chiefs and/or Royals 50% of a new stadium if a city or county stepped up with support.  Get this... the "stupid" or "clueless" Royals as critics have called them will get WAY more than Kansas offered if Missouri kicks in 50%.  It will be the greatest deal any baseball team has ever had.  82 percent for free.    The DOJ is misguided going after the NFL for its tv contract and I will prove it in less than a minute.      At the K, watching the Royals bat makes you want to watch CNN... Rory soars at the Masters in round one and gives a spectacular quote right after.  The coach/reporter scandal in the NFL grows and we learned when Travis and Taylor are getting married.

   What's that you say?  FIFA, the organization that runs the World Cup, is pulling a bait and switch with fans that have tickets to matches at Arrowhead Stadium this summer?  Look, they're like a stereotypical rock star.  We'd be disappointed if they didn't create a bunch of problems.    The most hilarious story of the year is unfolding in KC as the Star reports Mayor Q's staff had a years long audit of bias by the media outlet AGAINST the democrat mayor.  I can't stop laughing.    Kansas governor Karen slapped a veto on a bill that would have reeled in property taxes around the state.  You get what you vote for.    The Masters tees it up with Tom Watson taking the ceremonial first shot.  A former major winner is booted from the grounds and one player is trying to play with the first ever 3D printed golf club.    The Royals have an awful day in Cleveland, ESPN writes a piece suggestion Andy Reid is too old to win another Super Bowl.  Jim Nantz joined the Kelce boys on their podcast because it's Masters week and shares a fun story about the Chiefs Super Bowl in in Vegas.    And you won't believe how many meals, cups of coffee and energy drinks our troops poured through during operation Epic Fury.

   A two week ceasefire is on with Iran as long as there is a complete, safe opening for the flow of oil out of the Persian Gulf.  This may work, this may not but President Trump says almost all USA demands have been met as they try to finalize an agreement.  If not, well, the US gets two weeks to re-supply and start pounding again.    KC residents love paying tax as over 75% vote yes to keep paying.  Just, wow.     JD Vance's Fraud Force is off to a great start, CBS News reports America is most certainly getting richer and provides the stats about a wildly growing Upper Middle Class.  You have to hear this.   In sports, the Royals can't hit.  The Masters field is set and Gary Woodland's group is the one I'd be following on Thursday.   A high profile NFL coach is caught up in the tabloids photographed as a private lover's retreat in Sedona, Arizona.  The number one pick in the upcoming draft makes a great decision.    A tik tok influencer just crushes the Mahomes/Kelce restaurant 1587 as the worst upscale dining experience of all time and over a million people have watched it.  And a very old country star with a really famous, funny song is doing well after falling and breaking his neck.

   It's election day in Missouri and the earnings tax in KCMO is in focus and maybe that's appropriate after a new Wall Street Journal piece on spending in KC.  $650 million are being spent for the World Cup to play a handful of matches at Arrowhead.  And we are now getting our first reports that not nearly as many people are coming as thought.  Who could have guessed?   The Royals beat Cleveland and eye an early seat in first place.  Michigan wins the national title in college hoops in the ugliest game you've ever seen.    Travis Kelce has his hands full as his future wife is meeting her crazy girlfriends in LA and Nashville to plan trips with her girls to Italy, the Bahamas and New York BEFORE their June 13 wedding.  Oh, brother.    Trump's deadline for Iran is later today even as the US is hitting Kargh Island.  Maybe that's the real strategy.  Savannah Guthrie returns to work, our astronauts have frozen pee and CBS announces plans to replace The Late Show.

   We cannot take all these stellar military operations for granted and the latest is just as crazy and brilliant and perfect as it gets.  Some 200 service members worked an unbelievable plan of deception hundreds of miles inside Iran to get the missing American weapons officer that was shot down with the pilot.  This was risky, could have backfired in a huge way but is a prime example of American Exceptionalism... no soldier left behind.  Goose Bumps.    Marco Rubio revoked the green cards of dead Iranian terror mastermind Solemeni's niece and her mom.   Then the US arrested them both in California.  They were living a luxurious life in America, "the great satan" but now they live in a jail cell waiting to be deported.    The Royals fall short Sunday and lose two of three to the Brewers.  Bubic had a rough start, the pen failed again and the Royals blew ball/strike challenges that may have cost them the game.  Not a good look.  Oh, and 9 games in, Bobby Witt Jr doesn't have an extra base hit yet.  Impossible.    One outfielder saved three home runs in one game this weekend, a million to one chance.  The Nationals celebrated the 21st birthday of their stadium in a fun way before first pitch and we have a second wedding upcoming for KC's Billionaire class.

   The Royals were embarrassed enough by a stupid looking loss to the Twins on Thursday that wasted a stellar performance from starting pitcher Cole Ragans.  Then, they had to go into the locker room and talk about starting catching Carter Jensen missing the game because he overslept.  This is one of the most embarrassing things I've seen and this is a key player.  Vinnie P didn't hold back.... this can't happen again.    The first week of the season saw MLB ratings go up like our moon rocket and one of the games was the Royals/Braves.    Authorities in Florida released more video of Tiger Woods' arrest and it's just awful.  He's got to get this right.    The Chiefs are all in on "Let Her Play" in Kansas and want you to sign a petition creating more opportunity for girls aged 6-17 to play flag football as a school sport.  Count me in.   Pam Bondi is bounced as Attorney General and if one report is correct on the reason why... she may be lucky she's not being investigated.    JD Vance is leading the Fraud Squad and they made an incredible bust in California of hospice houses that don't exist and the people that allegedly stole millions.  And Barack Obama has tougher rules for his presidential library than we have at the border or to vote.

   Bill Self announces he's coming back for at least one year and most Kansas fans are thrilled.  It's also a boost in the recruitment of the top player in America.  We are pretty sure the family and doctors are ok with this so why not everyone else?  This got complicated with the succession plan but they've at the very least bought some time to figure it all out.    President Trump says operations in Iran will be over in 2-3 weeks and gas prices will go down almost immediately.      NASA is back in the moon business and it was glorious to watch that rocket launch.  The question is why are we doing this?    Bruce Springsteen's bash America tour is getting worse and worse.  If he cares so much about Iran, why doesn't he have concerts there?    The Royals are in first place but made some bad history Wednesday in a win over the Twins.  Oh, there was a lot of good things.  But the one bad thing was epically awful.     Pete Grathoff of the Star interviewed announcer Rex Hudler who says he'll be part of the broadcast Saturday in Milwaukee and do 1/3 of the games this year.  This is an odd story and there's something going on nobody is talking about.   Tiger is leaving the country for his substance abuse treatment, an NFL star is in rehab and the Blue Springs Eagle cam is getting more fun by the day.

   In another first, President Trump is about to be the first Commander in Chief to ever sit inside the Supreme Court to hear oral arguments.  Trump will be there today as the court considers whether it's legal for illegal aliens to have babies in the USA and they are automatically citizens.  Pop some corn, this will be something.    While lower judges are cancelling everything Trump does, he signs yet another executive order.  The new order is about verifying and tracking every election ballot in the US Postal Service.    In an incredible story, a bunch of lady soccer fans and a columnist stop a new nightclub from opening called Sundown Lounge.  They claimed it's racist.  That's outrageous enough but get this... the man who had the idea and was set to own the club is black.  Oh, brother.    Tiger Woods heads to rehab, George Brett goes on national tv to discuss a very important Royals fan who has ALS and what we can do to help.  A former female ref is suing the NFL and I"m here for it.... go get 'em!  A helicopter lands in Olathe, illegally, with a couple hungry people on board.    And Costco has created a smalll controversy with a chocolate Easter bunny.

   There's nothing quite like opening day in a Major League Baseball city and Monday's opener was one for the ages.  There were parties, celebrity sighting, a touching moment of silence, and awesome flyover and a Royals win.  There was also news made when owner John Sherman told www.kcmotalkradio.com he's still talking to Kansas and NKC about a new stadium.  We have all of it for you.    On the field, pitcher Kris Bubic had a much different experience starting this home opener versus the last time he did it.  Did you know he had another opener?  Yup, it was in 2020 and there were no fans in the stands.    Mayor Q decided to make a big announcement about his future on opening day to hide the sad news there's nothing he can run for and win right now.  Boo hoo.    KC's population is growing while St. Louis is shrinking.  Eric Trump releases animation and video of a spectacular Donald J. Trump Presidential Library.  KC's own singing star Chappelle Roan is banned from performing by a mayor of a major city.  A rich, spoiled radio host calls it quits at age 37 and a famous rocker may not have a voice anymore.

   The Royals played a terrific game and bailed out the organization's leadership team after two absolutely awful pre-determined roster roles before spring training even started.  The good news, I double we will see Charlie Sheen attempt to close another game in Royals blue.  Now it's opening day and the Royals are big faves against the Twins... Let's go!    Topeka native Gary Woodland could be the best sports story in the world this year after recovering from brain surgery, publicly dealing with PTSD and winning a tourney for the first time in almost 7 years.  This is a great American sports story.    The Final 4 is set and Illinois coach Brad Underwood and his star freshman from KC are living the dream.    A new report indicates Tiger Woods was told by Trump's Secret Service that he could not operate a motor vehicle with any of Trump's grandchildren in the car or he'd be arrested.  This was BEFORE his fourth crash since 2009.    The No Kings rallies are filled with liberal gaffes, Trump wants to control and rename the Strait of Hormuz and we have a tasty Final Final if you like candy bars.

  You will have to wait until the back end because it's no lead story, but ESPN star Stephen A. Smith finally took the bait from new conservative Christian Jason Whitlock.  The host of a Blaze podcast has a long history of ruining everything in his wake but appears to have figured it all out and Stephen A isn't buying it.  I want to believe in JW so badly, but as we could be on the same page after all his mistreatment of others, I'm not sure.  I'm on Jason's side here, sort of.  But there's a lot of history and I will tell some of it.    Jackson County tries to repurpose the Truman Sports Complex, the KS Gov has a bill on her desk she  has a problem signing.  If you pay 1% in Kansas City earnings, do you deserve a vote?     The IOC is all in with Trump and now California has to accept no transgenders or send the Olympics in 2028 to Texas.   The Royals are set and Salvy is now a platoon player.  And an 8th grader in Pennsylvania has a perfect bracket and doesn't watch hoops.

   It's not always comfortable reading some of President Trump's posts on social media or hearing some of the things he says.  But it's important to try to figure out where he's coming from on most of these things as we seem to have forgotten what democrats have done to this man.  A local radio host, Dana Wright, is now an unhinged Karen and we'll ask the question she can't seem to ask herself... what if the roles were reversed?   MIT has data about mail in ballots in 2020 that is incredible.  The KCMO City Council is about to be forced to vote on getting rid of the all gender toilets at KCI.   In sports, Patrick Mahomes throws a football and posts it online.  Somehow this has millions of views.  Bill Self says he hasn't decided on his future and any reports that he has are "BS".  The Royals opening day roster is set and several players visit Team USA soccer players.  Masters concession prices are revealed, the new hoops coach at Providence has the all time greatest line ever at his introductory news conference and a zoo names a rare Rhino after a Chiefs player.

   For the near future, KU hoops are in limbo waiting to find out what legendary coach Bill Self is going to do.  If you're not in the camp that believes Jacque Vaughn is here to take the job as a given, well, things just got even murkier for KU as North Carolina parts with Hubert Davis and has an immediate opening.   In an incredible admission, Royals GM JJ Picollo says not too long ago, Royals executives thought Maikel Garcia was a better shortstop than Bobby Witt Jr.  We will play the audio.   The Royals also announced they are offering a hot dog and beer drinking challenge this year at the K called the 9-9-9 challenge.  With a tiny twist.    Missouri's Supreme Court rules it's just fine for the state to draw new districts in the middle of a decade.... this could be the end for Congressman Cleaver in KC at age 82.    After two days of mocking President Trump for saying the US and Iran are trying to work out a future for the country, CNN reports its true because a "high level Iranian official" has confirmed it.  What the hell has happened to American media?    Liberty approves a new data center while a couple of really crazy, dumb, women farmers in Kentucky turn one down even after getting the offer of  a life time.    Theo Von interviews Vince Vaughn about late night shows no longer being funny.

   Even MSNow hosts are seeing through Chuck Schumer and other dems that just can never, ever admit President Trump does good things.  Morning Joe got right up in Chuck's grill and set the record straight for him.    Election reform is in focus in many different ways right now and none of them seem to be doing anything but crawling slowly toward tiny gains.    The Royals are in Texas for a little last minute fun... and tune up for the regular season.  It was the fun part that sent the Royals on a sick ride.    Travis Kelce signs his new contract with the Chiefs on the same day the happy couple's honeymoon plans are revealed.  Wait until you hear the length and how many continents they will visit.    And California's billionaires want out of the Golden State so badly they'd rather live in a Hole.

   The Kansas Jayhawks were consistently inconsistent all season long and they were the same in a wild game against St. John's in the round of 32.  This game was ugly, painful to watch and it appeared KU would die without a fight.  Until they punched back in wild fashion the last 6:00 min only to be denied at the buzzer.  Now what for KU?    There were some other wild moments including Nebraska's crazy game as they advance and ISU rolling Kentucky without the Cyclones' best player.   The Royals have broken camp and have games in Texas against the Rangers Monday and Tuesday.    President Trump's weekend included putting Iran on a 48 hour clock and sending ICE agents to airports to take over security and get things moving.    The mad that slashed a woman with a knife at a park in Olathe Thursday is a three time loser in crime that keeps getting sent back out onto the streets.  And the victim, a music teacher, is named Jamie Trumpp.... it appears she's going to be ok.   Fireworks are back at Mt. Rushmore for America 250, Bill Maher questions how many people know anything and a couple actors lament the death of Hollywood on a podcast. 

   The Kansas Jayhawks coasted home after building a 26 point lead in their opening game of the NCAA tournament.  It gets tougher from here.  Meanwhile, Mizzou was Mizzou storming back to take a lead with less than 8:00 to play against Miami... and then falling apart.  Is Dennis Gates the long term coach for the Tigers?    Faves went 16-0 on Friday.  Has paying players and unlimited transferring killed Cinderella?   The Royals have their full team back and playing together and none too soon. The season opens Friday.  I've got some thoughts on Jac Caglianone that may not make you very happy.    CBS Radio News is closing for good on May 22.  This is not as big of a deal as everyone is making it out to be.  Elon Musk offers to pay TSA employees.    And the great Chuck Norris is remembered in our Final Final.

   Did you know Kansas is ground zero for an underground nuclear test?  It's not the kind you might think of with explosions and all that, no, this is about a new age of nuclear power generated a mile below the surface.    As TSA has staffing shortages, Senator Ron Johnson is calling for the agency to be privatized along with Air Traffic Control.  The post office is broke, maybe we should look at that, too.    The buzz on the Royals is real folks and it's so hot right now we're now going to be disappointed if the Royals don't make the playoffs.  At the same time, we'll talk a little Washington Square Park (Crown Center) which seems to be the big fave for a new ballpark.    St. Louis is hosting the NCAA tourney downtown so they've decided to have a curfew for teenagers.  I have just one question on this and it's a  really good one.

   It looks like you could say President Trump has made Venezuela great again as Salvador Perez and his teammates win their first every World Baseball Classic for their home country.  It was a great tournament with a ton of twists and turns and it may just offer up a chance for our president to draw us even closer to Venezuela.  Oh, and Salvy is on KC's Mount Rushmore of sports without a doubt.    Paint a clown face on arrogant Derek Jeter who's trying to talk his way out of being a sloppy broadcaster.  He should start by apologizing to MLB and our fair city.    And we have quite a surprise today as we are in Surprise, AZ for a little spring training.  My lifelong friend Rob Caldwell joins us to preview KU and MU in the Dance and gives you three top picks against the spread.  Trust me, you don't know anyone with as much airplane time every week to study this stuff.

    At first reaction you probably thought, "what in the world do the Chiefs want with Justin Fields as backup quarterback?"   Then, as we start thinking about changes to the offense, something becomes pretty clear.  But I'll take it to another level.  What if Andy is going all mad scientist on us and is about to do something no coach has done before?    We had a wild off road experience in the Sonoran Desert on Monday and nearly stepped on a critter with venom 4 times more potent than a rattlesnake.    The World Baseball Classic is set... Bobby junior goes up against Salvy and Mikael Garcia from Venezuela.    Then, as we see all these jihadists popping up it's time to ask the question if their culture is even legal in the United States under our constitution.    And our great friend Gary Lezak has an incredible scare stuck in NYC subway car with a knife wielding lunatic.

   Golf season is in full swing with the Masters just around the corner.  Today, you'll hear the story of a young Missouri golfer from the KC area that already has her ticket punched to Augusta National as one of only a select few to qualify for the Drive, Chip and Putt competition.   Bryan Minnis is the founder of Maxim Golf and he and his team at Tiffany Greens are doing something to help out 12 year old Desirae Larson and her entire family to have the greatest golf week ever.    Then, we play a piece of an incredible interview US Open winner Gary Woodland did on Golf Channel a few days ago.  He told the entire golf world that he has beaten brain surgery but he now has a hidden mountain to climb.... PTSD.  This is very emotional. 

   What if I told you a small town Kansas boy became an all state running back and then walked on at Kansas State as a.... punter?   What if I told you he wound up becoming an All Big 12 performer while all through college was playing his guitar but kind of afraid to sing in front of anyone?  It's true.  Then Nick Walsh had a pro day in front of the Chiefs and a few other NFL teams and while running the 40, pulled a hamstring.    It was time to turn to music.    Well, fast forward a few years and Walsh appears to be on the verge of something really big.  A new song by superstar Luke Combs is the top new download in music.  It hasn't hit radio yet but Combs says its the only song he's ever recorded that gets stuck in his head.  Walsh is the co-writer of the song and this is the story of a man with many dreams.  And one of them is about to come true with a song called "Be By You" by Luke Combs and we'll even play it for you.  This is a great conversation as the American Dream is alive and well.

   In an absolutely shocking twist in DC, longtime wishy washy Republican John Cornyn of Texas has come out in favor of blowing up the filibuster in the Senate to fund DHS and pass the Save America Act.  Hmmm, where have you heard that idea before?  Well, it's hard for Cornyn to look sincere in this as he faces a runoff against conservative Ken Paxton to determine November's GOP candidate.. but we'll take it.  Sometimes, even when the will of the people is heard, it feels hollow.    Meanwhile, President Trump and Marco Rubio have offered Cuba's leadership an off ramp with a solid economic deal that will fundamentally change life for all the great people living there.  It's a simple offer.... you leave and let the people elect who they want and we will always protect Cuba and do business and make you wealthy and great.  After Venezuela and Iran... let's see if they are smart enough to take the deal.    Officials in California, including Gavin Newsom, go public that they've been informed the state could be a target for unmanned Iranian drones off unknown vessels in the Pacific just off the coast.    Pasquatch went nuts for team Italy in the World Baseball Classic with a record three home runs in a win over Mexico.  It sends the USA to the quarterfinals as well... and then Vinnie said some really strange things in his post game comments.    Bill Self is asked about retiring as KU gets ready for TCU Thursday night.  Mizzou has a big one as a three point underdog versus Kentucky.  The NFL wants to add another marquee, stand alone game around a certain holiday and Tom Brady sets the record for all time media gaffe by a former player.

   After announcers told everyone the USA's win over Mexico Monday night put the Americans into the next round AND manager Mark DeRosa did interviews acknowledging their ticket was punched.... it turns out they were wrong.  Jac Caglianone homers form team Italy as they beat the USA 8-6 and now our Red, White and Blue await the outcome of tonight's Italy v Mexico game to find out if they advance.  How is this possible?    Travis Kelce credits Taylor Swift for his decision to return to the Chiefs for another year.  And it wasn't what she said to him.  This is pretty strong.    A 12 year old girl from Kearney is headed to Augusta National to play on national tv in the Drive, Chip and Putt competition.  An area golf course group wants to help send her by raising money for the costs... you can help by going to www.tiffanygreensgolf.com.    CNN posts a ridiculous account of the NYC jihadist bomb throwers and takes it down.  When will this stop?  A supermodel from the 1980's has lost her $420 million fortune.   A new documentary in theaters is almost exclusively new Elvis footage that was found in a cave in Kansas.  You have to hear this.    A national sports bar chain has come up with a disgusting buffalo wing flavored cocktail.  And we have the best Father/Son birthday story you will hear this year in our Final Final.

   World... meet Bobby Witt Jr!   Monday night at the World Baseball Classic the Royals superstar put on a show for the ages in a game that could only be described as Madness in March.  USA vs Mexico... heck, there was even a fight in the stands.  This was wild and the reaction from people in sports and politics and everyone in between was pretty much total shock for how Bobby Baseball plays the game.    The Chiefs had a wildly great day off the field as Travis Kelce is returning, the Super Bowl MVP runningback is signed to the team and KC signs a couple defensive players too.  What a haul and we'll tell you why it means the Chiefs are about to change the way they play.    Bill Self got his team on that glass court at the Big 12 tourney and he says it just isn't the same.    The Super Bowl parade shooter believed to have killed Lisa Lopez Galvan is about to walk free and people are shocked.  I'm not... what did you expect in KCMO?    President Trump says the air raid in Iran is a total success and this thing could wrap up sooner than later if they can figure out a succession plan.  The jihadist that tossed bombs on the streets is the child of Afghan immigrants that live in a $2.5 million house in the suburbs.    There was a terrible accident with a teacher and his students in Georgia and now the widow wants authorities to drop charges against the kids.  Another famous company leaves California and Uber makes a smart change for female riders

   A report on Sunday indicates Travis Kelce has decided to come back for a 14th season but says he and his agent may be shopping around to play for somebody other than the Chiefs.  Seems unlikely but I think we'd understand why.    KCI was evacuated due to a bomb threat Sunday as would be passengers poured out of the terminal and planes onto the tarmac, the streets and cell phone lots.  It was a crazy scene.    Iran has chosen the son of the former Supreme Leader to take charge.  This seems like a death wish.  Former White House Press Secretary Ari Fleischer just unloads on President Obams for his hateful speech at Jesse Jackson's funeral and it didn't sit well with Jackson's son, either.   The conference tournaments are set in KC and Nashville for our area basketball teams.  It starts after a scathing column by a writer in Arizona that can't believe the tourney is in KC every year.    USA Baseball is rolling in the World Baseball Classic and has games against Mexico and Italy the next two nights.  17 Royals are playing in the tournament.   A former runningback at Alabama calls out Nick Saban.   Charlie Woods is the highest priced college golfer and the worlds largest flashlight is changing the eco system in our Final Final.

   Well, your humble host has a pretty good nose for stink when it comes to what liberal law enforcement officials DON'T tell the public.  Our 22 year old man that dropped 20 bombs in a trash can at the World War I Museum is..... yup... wanted by ICE.  Of course he is and of course they didn't want to say it.  This is like "oh, there's children in the hospital" after the shooting at the Chiefs parade.  Ya, those children were the gang member shooters.  It's bad in KC folks, this should be a huge story but you should mostly be concerned at all the important information they keep from us.    Kristi Noem is out at DHS and off to another job that will be announced Saturday.  We'll fill you in on her replacement and why the move was made.    I met Scott Jennings in KC on Thursday and he couldn't have been a nicer man.  He's becoming a huge media star and his number of offers must be off the charts right now.  And.... it seems likely he'll be joining us here on the podcast sometime soon!    Worlds of Fun has been sold, along with 6 other Six Flags parks, to a KC company.    The World Baseball Classic starts with a Shohei Ohtani grand slam.  The royals have a tv disaster on their hands almost as bad as their pitching Thursday night.  KU, MU and KSU know their conference tourney seeds according to USA Today.   The lawsuit against 1587 continues even as the judge denies an emergency request.  A college program's assistant coach is arrested for being a pimp.  Yes, a pimp.    And a music superstar gets popped for a DUI which is about the 20th thing this person has been in trouble for.

   We have so many questions about a man from California that is charged with placing 20 small bombs in a trash can next to Liberty Memorial and the World War I museum.  At the top of the list... why isn't this a bigger story and why don't we know anything about Owen Canizales Argueta?  Jackson County has announced charges against the man but that's about it.  This doesn't pass the smell test.    European countries are doing a 180 with president Trump and will now allow the United States to use their facilities to continue attack Iran.  The B-2's from Whiteman are headed to a base on land owned by the UK.  Shocking, they changed their mind after a drone hit one of their facilities.    A Senator bolts down from the stage and helps two security guards tackle and remove a big, strong protester at an Armed Services committee meeting.  Wait until you hear about the dude that broke in.    A man in Arkansas that is awaiting his trial for murder wins the GOP primary for Sheriff in his county.  You have to hear this story.    A federal court in Tennessee has its first conviction in the Chilean theft ring that broke into the homes of Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce.  The Trent McDuffie trade excites Chiefs fans in both good ways and bad.  The Royals have their first announcer in 15 years that isn't a white dude.  Lou Holtz passes at 89 and having been around him many times, it feels like I knew him.  And our Final Final is three stories about three different rock bands.

   It was a rough night in college basketball as a couple things become clear.  Kansas is not the typical squad that's easy to like.  Darryn Peterson has been a distraction, Bill Self lost control Tuesday night and got booted.  Then Jacque Vaughn got a T and Elmarko Jackson committed a flagrant foul.  It had a spoiled brat look we are not used to seeing.  Meanwhile, Mizzou's final week of the regular season starts with a dud of a performance at OU.  Mizzou is not predictable or consistent in any way and it's hard to understand why.    The World Baseball Classic starts for Team USA Friday night... we'll hear from Bobby Witt Jr. who is starring as the leadoff hitter.    The Kansas Senate is working on a state law to require parental permission for a child to leave class and go to a demonstration.  Of course this is so logical the left is losing it's mind.  In Missouri, lawmakers want to bring back driver's education and make it a requirement for graduation.    Mail in voting remains undefeated as Olathe Schools win $389 million from taxpayers in the off election mail in scam of the year.  The emails just keep flowing in about Pastor Adam Hamilton who says he's likely running for US Senator.  Texas has some interesting election results and Kansas Speedway is hosting a national television broadcast this week.

   Like many people, my daily schedule must run on time and has a routine.  While that's a great goal for a president to have, it must be nearly impossible.  We present to you today what we know about President Trump giving the command to attack Iran and the other things he was doing when he gave the nine word order.  It's truly incredible to hear and of course, finished with him ordering hamburgers for everyone at a Whataburger in Texas.  Amazing.    Trump also summed up what we discussed a little on yesterday's podcast... the Dems are going to criticize him no matter what.  Many dems that were calling for action against Iran are now blasting Trump for doing it.  You can't make this up.    Bill Clinton's testimony in the Epstein investigation is sad and embarrassing.  We are not only reminded what a creepy and out of control man he is... now his hands shake profusely and he seems confused.  This is not good for America.    We touched a nerve talking about Pastor Adam Hamilton and his run for US Senate as the emails I received were all about uncomfortable experiences people have had with Hamilton and his church.    I can't get enough infor about the runningback the Chiefs want and now it's believed other NFL teams are on high alert to prevent it.  The Royals announce the signing of an old outfielder that's had a great career.   And ICE has a sneaky new tactic they are using... we'll tell you in our Final Final.  

   Nobody wants war but after nearly 50 years of killing Americans and chanting "Death to America" it was eventually going to happen with Iran and their radical, oppressive regime.  In an incredible show of military precision and strengh, Iran's leaders were taken out and their military operations have been pounded and are in chaos.  To be sure, President Trump did exactly what he said he would do.  He said it on the campaign trail, he warned them publicy and then he did it.  If this somehow creates peace in the middle east, it will be his crowning achievement.    A Kansas City mega church pastor is planning to run for US Senate and he's certainly well known.  But not always for the reasons you may like.     Andy Reid couldn't make it to the NFL Combine this year recovering from a knee procedure but he sure is upbeat about rebuilding his football team.   KU gets beaten up pretty good in Arizona.  Mizzou rolls and has a great shot at finishing 4th or higher in the SEC.  Carter Jensen goes deep for the Royals.  The Cardinals are discounting all you can eat tickets this year and Tyler Reddick wins for the third week in a row in the NASCAR Cup Series.... to start the season!    And something is just a little fishy about our Final Final today.

   It was a tough day for transgenders in Kansas and Missouri and the freakout is pretty funny to watch.  About 1000 Kansans may have to change one letter on their drivers license under a new law that is in place but won't really even be enforced... at least for a while.  My god, what has the world come to.  So triggering.  And in Missouri, the House passes a law that the overwhelming majority of Americans support as they aim to make it illegal for boys to play in girls sports.  Oh, the humanity.    A St. Louis tv station reports one of the greatest stories every as it appears most Missouri police departments are working with ICE and turning over illegals when they commit a crime.  Wait until you hear what the reporter learned about incentives for those departments to cooperate.    The World Cup has a Mexico problem as there are 22 mass graves in and around Guadalajara.  In the first four they've dug out, they have found over 500 body bags from cartel violence.  There are 130,000 "disappeared" people in Mexico and ALL are presumed dead at the hands of cartels.  Are they really playing soccer there?    Jac Caglione and Carter Jensen have a monster day for the Royals in Arizona.  If these guys are good this year.... watch out.  The Royals will be hard to beat.    Hall of Fame golfer Tom Watson and the staff at www.watsonlinks.org announce the cities and states this program will be offered to junior golfers has tripled... amazing.      A golfer at a tournament in South Africa nearly dies... but not on the course.  You have to hear this crazy story of a two time winner that is lucky to be alive.    And our Final Final is quite a joke from the folks at the Tampa airport.

   One day after Donald Trump declared he's putting VP JD Vance in charge of America's "war on fraud" we need a scorecard to keep track of all the federal raids, busts, arraignments and investigations made public in some of our biggest cities.  KC's Mayor Pro Tem is in really hot water over an FBI investigation that's been going on for a full year without her knowing it.  LA, San Fran, Boston, Miami and the mother of all fraud... Minneapolis.. all had big news yesterday.    That takedown on the street by ICE of a 19 year old American in Olathe has a new narrative.  Turns out the young man was road raging ICE agents and is lucky.... no, very lucky... they are not charging him with a crime.   Never, ever believe the one sided first stories regarding ICE enforcing our laws.      World Cup host cities are crying poor and FIFA is threatening to pull out of fan fests and other events around the soccer games if they don't get millions and millions now.... from FEMA!    There is stunning financial data for the Atlanta Braves' Ballpark Village and it's easy to see why the Royals want to try to do this for themselves.    They are only the latest but the fan boy media around K-State Athletics are really embarrassing themselves by piling on the basketball team and coaches right now after four years of publicly drinking the Kool Aid on the biggest hiring disaster in school history.  Don't trust fan boy media anywhere!   And the lawsuit by 1587 Sneakers against 1587 restaurant is not exactly what you think.... we'll fill you in.

   This is my favorite State of the Union address and favorite Trump speech ever.  I've probably said it before but this is the one.  I was imploring Trump as the speech unfolded to go off script and point out that two year olds pout less than the grumpy democrats in the room that couldn't applaud low gas prices, more private sector jobs or closed borders.  Then he dropped the bomb on them.  "Stand up if you agree the first duty of government is to protect American citizens and not illegal aliens."   This was THE moment of the speech and painted a perfect picture of a party hell bent to change America forever by ignoring the laws we all voted for.    Olathe Police say they have now arrested four people total for the high school brawl we saw at Olathe Northwest.   El Mencho got taken out because his Only Fans model that visited him for the weekend was trailed.    In sports, Mizzou gets a big win.  Chiefs GM Brett Veach wants to sign cornerback Trent McDuffie and is excited to rebuild the roster.  George Brett, Salvador Perez and Bobby Witt Jr. now have something very much in common and they celebrated together at spring training.  KU fans want ESPN announcer Fran Fraschilla banned from Allen Fieldhouse.  The UFL has some great new rules this season and our Final Final is a list of businesses you don't want to start.

    Adults have finally entered the room as the Olathe Police Department announces it has taken a juvenile into custody for aggrevated assault for crossing the street to confront a Trump supporter at Olathe Northwest High School.  The videos have now been seen by millions, the dad of the victim is speaking out and most local media are still ignoring a story everyone is talking about.  What a mess our schools and media have become.    The State of the Union is Tuesday night and the President is expected to spend more time on the economy than anything else.  Oh, and it sounds like some hockey players will be there, too.    KU uses two huge runs to pummel Houston at Allen Field House Monday night as Tre White leads the way.  This game says so much about where college basketball is this year.  We have an opinion.    The Chiefs cut defensive lineman Mike Danna and save $9 million off the salary cap, KC's Nate Scheelhaase has become the offensive coordinator of the Rams... it should have been here.  Lyndsay Vaughn says she almost lost her leg after her skiing accident at the Olympics.  Two famous boxers are set to fight again and we've got a penguin at the KC Zoo that's a deadbeat dad.

   Team USA wins Olympic Gold in hockey and if anyone can actually believe it, this seems to be dividing Americans.  Jack Hughes delivered the Golden Goal and the celebration was wild.  It involved a tribute to a fallen teammate, an awkward medal ceremony for the Canadians, the FBI Directory pounding Mich Ultras partying in the locker room and President Trump on the phone.  Trump promised America would get tired of all the winning and if you see what liberals and their media are saying... it's true.  They are sick of Trump and patriotic Americans winning.    It was a tough Saturday for our college basketball teams, especially KU.  Chiefs Receiver Hollywood Brown shares a really sad story about NFL player Rondale Moore who was found dead in a garage.    A crazed gunman fixated on Epstein and Trump goes to Mar-a-Lago with a shotgun and a gas can.  The left just keeps stoking the fire in crazy people to go try to get Trump... even if it kills them.   Two KC area high schools make big news with protests gone wrong... this has to stop.   And our Final Final is a Chiefs legend and a famous actor in a big time commercial.
