Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   KC Business Leaders have made a commercial where they all support keeping the Royals and Chiefs anywhere in the region, a 180 change from the messaging the past three years.  It's ok to go to Kansas, they seem to be saying.  Just don't go to Tennessee.  We break down what this shift means for the Royals in Clay County, Missouri and if this is greasing the skids for the Chiefs to go to Kansas.
   Jackson County pols are desperately trying to get County Exec Frank White out of office by threatening a recall.  They have the signatures, but shocker, they don't have the money to pay the firm that got them.  This is a wild story.
   I have an AI demo for you today that's really entertaining as one man asked AI to make a country song about beer.  The Royals better find some bats fast.  Colorado football is doing the most embarrassing thing ever.  A sports app spoils hundreds of thousands from men that thought they won and you've got a hard choice the next time you go to Chipotle.

   There won't be a more dramatic moment in sports this year than Rory McIlroy's playoff win at the Masters to complete the career Grand Slam.  It was just the greatest and he sobbed like a baby with no tears of joy.  It was all relief.  This really is a tradition unlike any other.
   Cole Ragans picks up the Royals to avoid a sweep in Cleveland and this was bigger than most.  Ragans pitched deep into the 8th and recorded 10 strikeouts.
   It was pure pandemonium at the UFC fights in Miami this weekend when President Trump arrived.  He also announced a tariff break for tech companies.
   A Kansas City man that was falsely accused of being an illegal alien gunman at the Chiefs Super Bowl parade is found dead in his home.  And comedian Bill Maher comes clean on Trump.

   China raised tariffs over night to 125% and says that's the highest they will go as it essentially cuts off all products moving from the USA to China and they cut off Hollywood films.  Again, so what?  We don't send much to China and our films are 3% of their film industry as they already kept American culture out of their country.  
   Josh Hawley is having fun with all this from the political side as he says libs know this is the right play but have a hard time saying anything nice about Trump.  We also get the news that a giant pharma company is investing billions to build 7 factories in the USA to avoid tariffs on their drugs.  Let's go!
   The Royals take 3 out of 4 from the Twins, even as the bats are struggling, and now hit the road for ten days in really bad weather.  This is going to be a slog.
   A golfer takes a leak on the course at Augusta National and apparently they will let him keep playing.  Big names dot the leader board.  A high profile college basketball coach makes a surprising move, a ride at Worlds of Fun closes and our song of the week is an ode to small businesses everywhere.

   Donald Trump actually did shock the world with his announcement he's working with 75 friendly countries to not only improve America's trade situation with them, he's partnering with them to take down China's practices of ripping everyone off.  It felt like a glorious and historic day.
   Meanwhile, the Dems are accusing Trump of manipulating the stock market while rooting for the Chinese to beat him.  They'd much rather Trump lose than America win.
   DOGE unearths some ridiculous recipients of unemployment checks you just won't believe.
   In sports, the Royals bats are quiet again in a  lifeless loss to the Twins.  A future KU basketball star is ranked the number one player in the country.  The commissioners of the four power conferences in college athletics are sitting down for a joint interview on fixing the business side of the NCAA.  And Billy Joel donates to a political campaign but it's not like a lot of the stories you've heard before.
 

   The Royals have won three in a  row and it gives us a chance to move a trade war with China to the second half of the podcast.  We need all the good news Bobby Witt is delivering to brighten our day.  KC has a chance to bury the Twins the next two days.

   Vegas odds say its a huge longshot for Stephen A. Smith to run for president.  
   The trade war with China is getting worse as both countries raise tariffs overnight.
   A soccer coach of a 13 year old boy's team has been charged with murder.  He's an illegal alien and he's been arrested before and they've just let him walk until now.  Unreal.
   Stephen Miller will brighten your day with sage words set to music, new polling shows nobody even knows what National Public Radio is and a California valedictorian is a free speech warrior.

    The Supreme Court has ruled that low level judges without a case before them can no longer stop the President from doing his job.  This is a big one but it begs the question.  Is it worth it for Dems to fight this president when you know these rulings are this easy for Trump to win?
   Kansas Senator Jerry Moran is increasingly a problem for Trump as he's now joining other Republicans to try to slow this president down. Kansans need to be heard.
   Stephen A. Smith from ESPN says he's no longer ruling out running for president.  Gary Lezak is back on channel 41 doing weather in the mornings.  Sort of.
   The Royals are starting to heat up behind starting pitching and timely hitting.  The Florida Gators come back against Houston to win the national title and a salary cap in college athletics is getting close.  We have the details.
 

   The Royals win their first series of the season taking two of three from the Orioles.  Bobby Witt Jr is starting to heat up and as unlikely as it may have sounded, Kris Bubic is the best Royals pitcher right now.  Up next, four against the Twins.
   Carla Bernat is a senior at Kansas State but more importantly she's now a champion at Augusta National.  This is quite a story.
   Sporting KC gets its first win of the year after a coaching change this week and the place went absolutely bonkers.  What a relief.
   The prime minister of the United Kingdom says he understands why Trump is doing all these tariff deals and why voters like him over illegal aliens.  Then, he says "globalism is over," in a stunning declaration.
   Fifty countries want deals with the U.S. and several have already said they will pull their tariffs.  Jaguar/Land Rover have stopped shipping cars to America for at least 30 days and our co-host Stephen Miller sums it up like nobody else.
   For our final-final, is Disneyworld about to take a backseat to a better theme park in Orlando?

   If you're wondering if the tariffs are good for America, perhaps all we should do is look at the global reaction.  Leaders of allies and enemies alike threw a hissy fit as the tariffs take effect and I'm having a hard time figuring out how this is bad for America.
   Miss Jessica has a favorite initiative of the Trump 2.0 administration... MAHA.  She is a huge fan of Calley and Casey Means, special government employees working for RFK Jr and we have an incredible audio clip to prove her point.  These folks go after health care fraud by confronting the perpetrators face to face.
   Royals Reliever Lucas Erceg has an incredible future.... but also a difficult past.  He opens up about the demons he has defeated.
   College football coaches are talking big about fighting the NCAA, the Final Four is set and our Song of the Week is just increbible about our movement to fight back with free speech.

   Trump used a chart to show the world what his "discount tariffs" will be with about 60 countries not named Canada and Mexico.  It's more than fair and the message from the White House is... "do not retaliate" as it will not go well for you.  Let's go!
   The FBI is on a winning streak picking up bad people all over the land.  Over 40 illegal gang bangers were grabbed in Texas on the same day it was announced applications to become an agent set a new record for the FBI in March.
   The Royals got plenty of good pitching the past two days but scored only one run in 18 regular innings.  But they are still tied for first place at 2-4!

   It's Liberation Day in America as President Trump's tariffs go in effect world wide.  Unlike election day, we aren't going to see results at the end of the day.  But, we are starting to see countries step up and say they are ending their tariffs against us.  We break down what may happen with all this.
   The left has a new media hoax about a "Maryland dad" that was sent to prison in El Salvador by mistake.  This may be the biggest whopper of them all.
