Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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