Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

    For any seasoned reporter, you know when you've touched a nerve.  Jen Psaki's reaction to the word "stranded" was so heavy handed and over the top, here's what we know.  Americans are stranded and the Biden admin doesn't know what to do about it.
   This mess in Afghanistan is going to take quite some time and it's obvious the Dems aren't going to be able to pass their $3.5 trillion wish list.  At least that's some good news for America and our future.
   Andy Reid is not just defending playing Patrick Mahomes in the preseason, he's calling it important.  We think Andy believes his team needs to be reminded football isn't easy and there's nothing given this year.
   And while three other conferences are announcing an "alliance" to make sure college football doesn't become a one trick pony, Big 12 schools are scrambling to see where they may land when this is all over.
 

   If we are going to get excited about certain players looking good in the preseason, it seems fair to mention what looks wrong.  And right now, Patrick Mahomes looks rusty.  Hey, some teams aren't even playing their starting qb until the regular season, but if Mahomes is going to play, I'd like it to look like it matters.
   Bucs quarterback Tom Brady has done an in depth interview talking about Americans always looking to blame, shame and instill fear.  It's really great stuff that applies to football and life and I hope every American reads what Brady has to say.
   The situation around that airport in Kabul is getting more dangerous as ISIS has now arrived.  The British, French and Dutch military are carrying out missions in Afghanistan to find their citizens and get them to the airport.  So why won't Joe Biden order the same thing?
   And conservative radio host Larry Elder, a black man running for governor, is attacked by the Dems and media in California in a sick way. 

   It's the parent speech of the year and it happened in Colorado Springs.  A dad, in front of the school board, ends all debate over whether Critical Race Theory should be taught in schools.  You have to hear this.
   The Wall Street Journal reports a confidential memo was sent to the Biden administration in July from our embassy,  warning that Kabul would fall before August 31.  So why did the Secretary of State ignore it an lie to us?
   A couple of great brawls broke out this week at NFL joint practices, one involved the Raiders fighting four times with the Rams.  You're not supposed to like stories like this so I will tell you I love it!
   And a very special, long time listener turns 60 today, I will tell you all about him.

   Patrick Mahomes and the starters are expected to play a full half Friday night in Arizona.  We break down what we're looking for in this game and discuss how close the Chiefs are to signing safety Tyrann Mathieu to a new contract.
   The Royals get a dramatic walkoff win by throw out at home plate and make it three  in a row against the Astros.  Are the Royals a bad team or an underachieving average team?
   Joe Biden fails miserably in an interview with ABC News.  He literally seems to be the only person in American that sees the disaster in Afghanistan the way he does. 
   And a KKHI listener and 100 other attend a KCMO meeting about extending the mask mandate and they did it without masks.  This is a classic story and while they'll probably still extend the mandate, this patriots made a difference.

   An NCAA spokesperson says the investigation into KU basketball and football is "finished or very close" after dragging out for years.  The NCAA has now changed the rules for the outside investigating groups to speed up the process going forward.  The reason, the outside group has authority to find additional violations and that takes time.  And apparently that's what they've been trying to do to KU.
   Daniel Lynch is on fire for the Royals as he grounds the Astros with 7 brilliant innings.  He's got a 2.35 over his last five starts and it looks great.  But haven't most of the Royals pitchers been here before and fizzled out?
   Stephen A. Smith of ESPN has egg on his face now that Tim Tebow is gone from the Jaguars.  Smith said he was playing tight end only because he's white.  Now,  Smith says it's about a lack of opportunity for black athletes, as the comprise 71% of all players in the league.  When will this stop?
   And, not kidding, Joe Biden wants to talk about booster shots, masks and food stamps while we have at least 10,000 Americans behind Taliban lines in Afghanistan.  He proves every single day how unserious he is at doing his job. 

   The Taliban have circled the airport in Kabul and the only thing that matters is finding a way to get Americans stuck in Afghanistan through that circle and onto planes to fly them home.  Period.  Hopefully this can be done peacefully, but if not, a military option has to be on the table.  We cannot leave Americans behind.
   We also break down what went wrong and have some audio clips and statements from pundits, past presidents and political parties.  Everyone seems to agree this should have never happened.
   In sports, Salvy's a hero, Whit is an ironman and the purple haired soccer player is called a bully and is considering retiring.

   The world watches in shock as thousands breach security at the Kabul airport desperately trying to get out of Afghanistan now that the Taliban are in charge.  Clinging to planes as they take off, people fall to their death in one of the worst moments for America in years.  The Afghan president has already fled and the American president is on vacation.  
   A teacher in Overland Park won't teach critical race theory and doesn't want to force his kids to wear masks.  So he quit... and got fined $1000 for it.  We have the latest on how you can support this man that stands tall at a time where it's hard to speak the truth.
   There were no conclusions to be made after watching the Chiefs first pre-season game but we take a look at a rebuilt O-line, a receiver making noise and which young qb has the best chance of sticking around.
   And what in the world is this story about former Chief Tony Richardson's house in Overland Park.? He abandoned it years ago and racoons took over.  This one is a shocker.

   It was baseball's best night in years at the cross section of sports, family, the heartland and drama.  In short, we love Americana and baseball delivered in a giant way with the Field of Dreams game.
   The name Arrowhead is getting hard to find as the team has sold name rights to the field in big bold letters on the stadium.  Bring your glasses or squint because you can barely see the word "Arrowhead" any more as the Chiefs are making a statement about where they are going.
   Mayor Q just doesn't believe Tony Fauci when the bad doctor continues to tell us masks do very little good in stopping anything.  Q wants to extend his mandate, even though it's useless.  Even the vaccine is losing credibility as a completely vaccinated staff on a cruise ship has 27 covid cases.  They aren't sick, they just tested positive.  Imagine how many customers have it, too.  All vaccinated.
   And Joe Biden is in Delaware for the 17th time in his short presidency as America evacuates its embassy in Kabul, Afghanistan.  The Taliban are taking over and they have their eyes on our southern border.  This administration is an absolute nightmare.

    It's rare we get a truly special sporting event, but we have one this week and it should be epic.  And I'm an emotional guy when it comes to this as I open up with something deeply personal that you likely feel, too.
   Most news around the Chiefs is boring and mundane.  But Patrick Mahomes has opened up in an interview with the Ringer and basically blasts his own play last year.  Mahomes says when he would get hit, he'd revert to 'backyard football."  We break down what he says he needs to do better this year.
   Joe Biden's plan to lower your price at the pump is laughable.  Prices are up 51% on his watch and overall inflation is out of control.  And his response is not doing something... he says he's going to ask other countries for help.  So pathetic.
   And Arnold Schwarzenegger has turned lib with three little words for all Americans that are as offensive as anything you could say.

   The Chiefs begin the pre-season against the 49ers Saturday and my wish list is short.  One thing on each side of the ball is where the team needs to improve to dominate the league this year.  And they're dealing with an injury on the offensive line, what's new?
   Salvador Perez celebrated his 10 year anniversary of his MLB debut Tuesday night with two more home runs and a single.  That's 29 for the season and 40 is a big milestone for a catcher.  We are watching a player for the ages have the season of his life.  Enjoy.
   Chris Cuomo now seems to be the target of the liberal haters.  They don't seem to understand that Chris believes his family is more important than the Church of Liberalism and it totally exposes their flaws. 
   The Senate passes an amendment to never fund critical race theory in K-12 schools, this is a nice win.  Three airlines won't require the jab for employees, that's another win.  And Batman's Robin goes on a date with another boy.  This episode has it all.
