Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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