Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

We lighten it up on this episode as we are reminded all humans can be really stupid at times.  And boy, oh boy, were the Rays stupid against the Royals in the 9th inning of KC's comeback win.  Epic stupidity.  
Sporting Kansas City Manager Peter Vermes articulates the most profound words yet on the impact of games without fans.  He's dead right.
LeBron James has made a huge mistake with a Tweet that is a call to action to hurt a cop in Ohio.  It's disgraceful and James is clearly a racist.  What he did should be a crime.
And the president is so busy on the boarder, he has time to ban the term "illegal alien."  But what about the N word?  Is it banned?  And what now for one of my favorite songs from the 80's?  We play a cut and you won't believe the lyrics.

The reaction to three guilty verdicts in the Derek Chauvin trial has left us with several factions exploiting George Floyd's death for their own personal gains.  It's just sickening, but predictable.  The Royals aren't winning anything this year if they don't fix their Brad Keller problem.  The Royals' ace is really struggling.  And Patrick Mahomes sees a flaw in his game that needs work.  We'll tell you what it is.
 

Donald Trump made it clear in an interview with Sean Hannity that he's running for President in '24.  We break down what this means for Republicans going forward.  Mad Maxine Waters wants confrontation when the verdict comes in the Derek Chauvin trial.  Now the judge says the whole thing will likely get overturned on appeal because of her actions.  Aldon Smith was on the comeback trail in the NFL but now he's wanted on another criminal charge.  Such a shame.  And a golf course closes because the greenskeeper was a greens killer.

I can't stand violence and I really don't care to talk about it all that much.  But after a really violent few days, some Dems are provoking violence after the trial of George Floyd's death.  We can't ignore that here.  I've gone 4 days without a mask since I learned nobody gets fined or cited.  Ever.  I'll share my experiment with you.
How many times will we talk about Salvador Perez on the podcast this year? Well, if this keeps up I'd say three times a week until November.  What a freak!  And a golfer I promised I would never cheer for again wins on the PGA Tour this week.  And I cheered for him.  This story involves Tom Watson and Ronald Reagan and you'll want to hear it.

So Spencer doesn't think Salvy is making the Hall of Fame.  If the 2015 World Series MVP doesn't get hurt, he's in.  The Royals are 8-5 and if Salvy was on the IL, they would be 5-8.  There is not a single player this year that has mattered more and Spence is on the train now!  Also, some crazy covid  stuff in MLB.

For many of you that tried to play this podcast Friday on Podbean, you didn't get a "play" button.  I'm publishing it again to see if it works better for you this time.  Thanks to those of you that pointed this out to me as it played every other way and we didn't see any drop off in listenership.  I'm sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused and we'll see if it's better this time.  There's a first for everything and I will be notifying Podbean that this occurred. 

Johnson County Commissioner Charlotte O'Hara is an anti-mask mandate warrior.  She's filed lawsuits against the Blue Valley School District and walks around everywhere without a mask because she says not a single person or business has been cited over masks in JoCo.  Ever.  She calls out her weak fellow Republican County Commissioners and let's us in on a secret they don't want you to know.  Wherever you live, this conversation is a blueprint for you in your community.

It was a jump out of your chair moment to cheer when Rep. Jim Jordan grilled Dr. Tony Fauci on exactly when we can go back to normal.  Spectacular.  I'll play a clip and discuss Jordan's message of Give me Liberty or Give me Death.  When did you first hear of "Asian hate?"  For me, it was recently and only because the liberal media started peddling it.  But they don't really want you to know the facts about who's committing crimes against Asians in America.   
The Royals win again and go to 7-4 in first place.  Can they keep it up?  We break down what needs to get better to keep winning.  And 1,375 division one basketball players have transferred in the past month.  Bill Self has scathing comments on the transfer rules, and I applaud him for saying it.

If the Democrats really do find a way to get 4 more justices on the Supreme Court, well, they simply don't care what most Americans think.  I think I've underestimated them as they are trying to pass some of the most unpopular things in America and daring somebody to stop them.  Our justice system is really out of whack.  It seems the only thing that matters right now in whether you are prosecuted or not is skin color or political affiliation.  How Soviet Union of us.  In sports, the Royals start 6-4 despite some obvious flaws.  But man, these guys are having fun playing together through good and bad and that's easy to root for.  Also, a car dealer in Waco gets in trouble on live tv trying to give away a new Jeep to Baylor Coach Scott Drew.

The media in KC are so scared to ask the question of exactly what the Chiefs know, or worse, allowed, leading up to Britt Reid's accident that  it's embarrassing.  A headline in the Star actually reads, "National Media have Questions" about what the Chiefs know.  How sad.  They could have written after this podcast on February 5, "Local Journalist has Questions" about what the Chiefs know.  But instead, everyone else just hides from this story.  Salvy is on a tear to start the year and he actually had a walkoff pickoff to end the game Tuesday against the Angels.  We compare Salvy to Yadi Molina and explore whether Salvy could be a Hall of Famer.  Kamala Harris busts out some whoppers about black women dying "in connection" with childbirth because of racism and Jason Whitlock is in trouble with Twitter for tweeting too much truth.
