Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

     Dayton Moore tells me he still loves his job after all these years, even through all the losing since 2015's World Series title.  But in sports, we know nothing lasts forever.  Dayton is a Royals icon and says going forward he will do "whatever (owner) John Sherman wants me to do."  
   Dayton added, "I want to have a hand in it no matter what," and says he has a great relationship with the owner and is optimistic about the future.  In this candid discussion, we talk about several issues facing the club as the second half begins. 
  The Open Championship is underway and one star golfer is fighting with his club manufacturer.  Also, KU football coach Lance Leipold missed his first Big 12 media day because of bad weather.

   Black Lives Matter has played its hand, denouncing the government of the United States and supporting the communist regime in Cuba.  This has to be an awakening for people and companies in America that support BLM who have to know these people are Marxists.
   Former Congressman Kevin Yoder joined me on KCMO Talk Radio Thursday to talk about supporting Cuba and how Republicans can get the 3rd district in Kansas back from the Dems.
   And it's official, there are at least 35,000 illegal ballots in Georgia.  At least.  We'll tell you how they did it and if there are more states to come.
 

   Patrick Mahomes is dealing with a social media controversy after getting caught taking a shot at Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert on an open mic while playing in the celebrity golf tourney Sunday.  It seems fairly harmless if Mahomes was just poking at fans while being heckled on the links, but how will the Chargers take it?
   Cornerback Richard Sherman, the Vice President of the NFLPA's Executive Committee is arrested for "burglary domestic violence" and fighting with the police on his property at 2:00 am.  
   And I hosted Mundo in the Morning on KCMO Talk Radio 710  Wednesday and had great chats with Kansas Republican running for Governor, Dr. Jeff Colyer and my long time friend, state senator Mike Thompson.

    We hope you get a chance to check out Wednesday and Thursday morning on KCMO Talk Radio 710 as I fill in for the terrific Pete Mundo on his "Mundo in the Morning" show.  It airs from 6-10 AM and we've lined up Royals GM Dayton Moore, former Kansas Governor Jeff Colyer, long time tv meteorologist turned conservative politician Mike Thompson, former Congressman Kevin Yoder and many more.
  Joe Biden jumped the shark Tuesday saying requiring voter ID is the biggest threat to America since the Civil War.  When he reads that prompter, does he want to scratch his own head that somebody could write something so stupid?
  And we've got a clip from our Patron Podcast with Danny Clinkscale you have to hear.

   Salvador Perez did his part at MLB's Home Run Derby by setting a record for catchers with 28 bombs.  And Salvy was easily the second best of the night and might have won with a different format.  But noboy knows it because ESPN completely disrespected this great American.
   At the same time, ESPN and Stephen A. Smith are doing damage control over comments Steven A made about Angels star Shohei Ohtani.  Here's the problem... he's apologizing for speaking the truth.
   Democrat representatives in Texas have left the Capitol and fled to DC with beer, whisky and big smiles on their face.  51 of them deserted and now they can't take a vote in the house on the new voter ID law.  The Governor says he's arresting them when they return.
   And some new reported numbers from the CDC, if true, are shocking as last week there were reportedly more deaths from the vaccine, than there were from Covid.
 

   There's a slew of important baseball stories right now and none of them are about the 2021 Royals. That's good news for the team as they deflect attention away from this disastrous season.
   A former KU football players says he was harassed by teammates, had his car tampered with and had to call 911 as his teammates threatened his 15 year old brother.  The response from Les Miles and Jeff Long was to ship the young man home and give him over $50,000 to keep his mouth shut.  You have to hear this wild story.
   Queen Kamala is at it again... this time speaking about voter ID.  She's so out of touch, she thinks people that don't live in the city can't mail in vote with a copy of their ID because they don't have Kinko's.  Wow.
   And while Trump is giving a stemwinder at CPAC, talking about censorship by big tech, his speech is blocked by YouTube.

   Can you believe there is actually a "Billionaires Summit" this week at a retreat near a national park in Idaho?  $588 billion worth of billionaires are spending days together figuring out how to double their money, keep the IRS out of their hair and control politicians.  This is what it has come to and we have to fight back.
  The only way to stop the elite ruling class in the USA is to organize and rise up.  
   It was a big week for billionaires.  Billionaire Trump sued other billionaires and an incredible piece of journalism exposes owners of sports teams for the complete fraud they are committing against the IRS.  Billionaires don't just have money.... they have control of almost everything.

   We had to know the liberals in media were eventually going to drop "Delta" variant and switch to something scarier like Covid-21 and now they've done it.  NBC's Today show does a ridiculous piece about Tokyo, Springfield, Mo and New York City that shows their desperation to hang on to this man made tragedy.
   You may know the name Mandy Horvath.  She's the double amputee from Smithville, Mo that climbed a 19,000 foot mountain in Africa using just her arms.  It's an incredible story.  But as the great Paul Harvey used to ask... have you heard "the rest of the story?"  It's even more eye opening.
   Salvador Perez is the four seed in the 8 batter home run derby contest Monday and the first round matchups are out.  Salvy draws last year's champ.
   Patrick Mahomes and Travis Kelce were partying it up in front of the cameras on the golf course in Lake Tahoe this week getting ready for the American Century Championship.  They are quite a sight.
   And so is the ceremony to present the Stanley Cup Trophy... I think it's the best in sports.

   One week into college players having  the ability to make money endorsing businesses and KU basketball is an early winner.  Three outstanding players have decided to make money by staying at KU and living the good life instead of going pro.  This is a huge win for Bill Self.
   Salvy does it again with his third walk of hit of the season, this might have been the most unlikely comeback of the year for KC.  
  Kansas Governor Laura Kelly, a Democrat, signed a veto of the Republican tax cuts but was overridden by the House and Senate.  She screamed from a mountaintop that the state couldn't afford the new legislation, and she was wrong.  Big time wrong.  Now she wants credit for the huge surplus in her state.
   And a new tradition seems to have started in Utah because of the pandemic.  For the second year in a row, there was an actual buried treasure hunt for $10,000.  A 33 year old man found it after 17 days, this is a great story.

   Everywhere we went this holiday weekend, we were surrounded by upbeat, optimistic and positive people.  It's quite a contrast to when Trump was president and liberals were trying to blow up the world.  We just keep living and working and making America tick as we wait to vote again.  It's so comical, we just laugh this stuff off... like Joe Biden comparing himself to Ronald Reagan.  
   Liberal, woke ESPN is apparently not good enough for liberal reporter Rachel Nichols. She's caught on a hot mic describing here company as having a "crappy record on diversity."  And she's now apologized and ok... good thing she's not conservative or she'd be fired.
   And as the Royals continue to be dreadful, GM Dayton Moore says don't look at the players and coaches, blame me.  Ok, we'll analyze if he's correct and then look at Sporting KC and how they just continue to be a perfectly run sports franchise.
