Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   The reaction from the same media that promoted Trump/Russia collusion for years is now suddenly saying there's nothing to see there and we shouldn't even be talking about it.  Incredible... but predictable.
   Missouri Senator Josh Hawley is escorted off stage after terrorist supporting pro-Palestine protesters interrupt his speech.  If these people aren't citizens, they should be sent to Alligator Alcatraz immediately.
   Ravens coach John Harbaugh flat out shrinks a reporter giving him a hard time for visiting Trump at the White House.  The Royals take two of three from the Cubs as Salvy makes more history.  Now a huge series with Cleveland looms.  
   NFL financials are revealed by the Green Bay Packers and let's just say business is good.  And NASCAR makes a huge announcement about joining forces with the Navy.
 

   After the Kansas Board of Regents ordered all DEI eliminated from state universities there was still a question if KU would try to resist the directive.  But on Tuesday, KU Chancellor Doug Girod issued a memo to all employees emphatically directing them to dump pronouns and a whole bunch of other crazy stuff by July 31.  What a great day for KU!
   Tariff deals are in place now with the Philippines and Japan.  The deal with Japan is massive and unprecedented and the Philippines deal is gloriously lopsided in the favor of USA.  
   Trump unloaded on Barack Hussein Obama Tuesday indicating he's guilty of treason and every other word you can think of and they have Obama "stone cold."   Well, there's no backing off this now.
   ESPN has started its football coverage, normally very good, in terrible fashion.  We have examples featuring the Chiefs and Cowboys.
   Adam Sandler is starring in Happy Gilmore 2 beginning Friday on Netflix and had some really great comments about Travis Kelce in the movie.
   Salvy's two home runs Monday night have a really great side story as he took two boys out of the stands after the game and gave them bats.  They were boys he didn't know and this story is the stuff of legend.
   The two candidates running for Mayor of Overland Park both indicate the Royals at 119th and Nall is unwanted by their residents.  One candidate goes as far as to say over 95% of people in the area hate it.
  And our Final Final is the SMU football coach blasting the SEC.

   It's almost unthinkable the son of a just departed president could be as unhinged as Hunter Biden.  The former first son is sitting down for interviews and firing shots at everyone else in the democrat party and it's glorious.  Oh, and he's not doing his dad's legacy any favors in the process despite the fact he's trying to help.
   House Speaker Mike Johnson says he's not afraid to investigate Barack Obama for his role in operation Russia Hoax.  But Johnson stops way short of making any promises.
   Newt Gingrich has written a brilliant column showing how the Congressional Budget Office works against Republicans, and especially Mr. Trump.  Wait until you hear the numbers.
   Salvy hit two more bombs as the Royals blast the Cubs.  Man, when this guy is hot, the Royals are hard to beat.  What a legend.
   We are usually a big fan of Colin Cowherd but wait until you hear why he thinks the Chiefs will finish third in the division this year.
  The Big 12 rejects $250 million from the University of Memphis to join the league and we remember one of the stars of the Cosby Show.
 

   Chiefs camp has opened in St. Joe and they've opened with a flurry of news stories.  From Mahomes turning 30, to Rashee Rice owing $1million to another $90million contract we have all the info to get you started for 2025.
   The Royals avoid the sweep in Miami as Salvy has a big day.  And it was another game Manager Q tried to do his best to keep KC from winning.
   Scottie Scheffler wins the Open Championship and he's clearly an alien.  Nobody plays golf like this guy.... it's incredible.
   DNI Tulsi Gabbard says Barack Obama "manufactured" the Russia hoax against Donald Trump and now the DOJ may go after them all.  I have some really strong thoughts on how to proceed.
   President Trump wants the Washington Redskins and Cleveland Indians back.  I want the SM North Indians back.  Let's go!
   And Leavenworth has an offer to ICE to open a facility that would operate like Alligator Alcatraz AND create jobs and make money for the city.
   Our Final Final is a sign a very famous tasty treat may be coming to KC.

   Another domino falls as CBS has canceled the Late Show with Stephen Colbert.  It comes just three days after Colbert ripped the network for settling a lawsuit with President Trump and it has Adam Schiff and Liz Warren demanding answers and maybe an investigation if this was politically motivated.  WINNING!
   In our email segment this week,  a listener shares a great story about Tom Watson and another says AI loves KKHI.  We'll dish.
   Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice pleads guilty to a pair of charges after his road racing mess a couple years ago that led to four innocent drivers being injured.  Now we wait to find out about what's believed to be a pretty long suspension from the NFL.
   Major League Baseball's commissioner is talking transformational change in the business model moving it closer to what the NFL does.  Jason Kelce's wife nags him and he craves it and our Song of the Week has been suggested for a long time and we finally play it.
 

   I guess 16 years is enough time to pass to make a sports documentary about something historic.  In the case of "Underdogs: the 2009 Open Championship" aired on Golf Channel, it didn't take long for this one to reduce yours truly to a whimpering little pup filled with horrible memories of Tom Watson not finishing off perhaps the greatest individual feat in sports history.
   Shane Gillis stuns the audience as the host of the ESPY's.  It's Disney corporation apologizing for all the woke as the conservative free speech comedian offended just about everyone, without foul language.  We have the deets.
   Trey Smith is not only the highest paid guard in history he's a heckuva man.  This was on display as he signed his deal with the Chiefs and then called his dad on speaker phone.  What happened was just the best.
   The Senate passes a $9 billion clawback at 2:30 am that will defund NPR and PBS if the House approves by Friday.  We may need a parade.  In Oregon, the feds are trolling protesters in the best way ever... this is hilarious.  Pam Bondi fires James Comey's daughter and a popular singer loses his instrument on stage at a concert.
 

   What was moving along as an NL beatdown of the AL in the All Star Game turned into an all time classic... and the Royals players were right in the middle of all of it.  Both good and bad.  It ended with a wild "Swing-off" derby contest that was epic and fun.  It also featured an incredible tv broadcast with live interviews, a tribute to Hank Aaron and they should start passing out the Emmy awards right now.  The best of the night... Clayton Kershaw pitching while talking with announcers.  Fabulous entertainment.
   As the Open Championship begins, Scottie Scheffler is grabbing headlines for questioning what the point is of working so hard to be good at golf and go through all he does to stay there.  You've never heard an athlete talk like this.
   Randy Moss is back at ESPN after his battle with cancer and has some strong words for Tyreek Hill.  Shaq fires huge shots at Robert Griffin III about a WNBA player.
   In DC, the Senate advances a $9 billion gov cut that will defund NPR and PBS.  Adam Schiff has legal woes over mortgage documents he may have fudged.  Missouri Congressman Mark Alford releases a statement about the Epstein files and GM is going all in on gas powered vehicles.

   On a day www.fox4kc.com reports that if the Royals leave it will be Mayor Q's fault, we learn that Frank White has blown it again for Jackson County.  If/when the Royals and Chiefs leave the sports complex, it will definitely be more of a Frank White problem than the mayor.  In a recent letter to the governor, White offers to cut off the Royals completely AND lower the money the Chiefs get from a 3/8 cent sales tax.   Between he two of them, it has to be over in Jackson County.
   I met a friend yesterday, not a conservative, and we had a chatty waiter.  What happened when the waiter asked what I do for a living was an eye opening moment for the young man, if only he wanted to open his eyes.  I was literally talking to two people that will save $16,800 between them in federal taxes next year and don't believe it's true.
   The Kansas economy is ranked third to the bottom of states in the country, the first lady is helping Trump with his Russia policy and Lambert Field in St. Louis had a waiting line out the door almost to I-70 yesterday.
  In sports, the Big Dumper wins the home run derby, the Royals have the easiest schedule in the league the rest of the way and Fox Sports 1 fires almost everybody.  Then, our Final Final is buyer beware if you're trying to become an extra on the set of Ted Lasso filming in KC.

   The Royals pulled out a much needed win leading into the All Star Break Sunday.  Then, the front office locked in and grabbed a couple high school hitters in the first round of the MLB Draft Sunday night.  We have the details.
   The All Star Game is in Atlanta...four years after MLB wimped out and moved it because Dems were applying pressure.  What a joke of a time we lived through and what a relief it's better.
   An NFL wide receiver does a podcast with his athlete brother and their dad and the topic came up of how the man raised and trained three athletes. He credits "breeding" for it and its hilarious.  You want to hear this.
   John Elway is cleared of any wrongdoing as he was driving a golf cart when his friend fell off the back and hit head and died.  
    President Trump went for the global photo op in New York at the FIFA Club World Cup final.  This week, he's expected to announce tough sanctions on Russia as that war continues.  Then, we revisit some July 13 headlines from a year ago when Trump was shot.  
   The Dem media have a new battle cry as PBS and NPR are about to get defunded.  And police officers in Arizona deliver a tasty treat to some surprised residents.

   They are the coaches you love to hate but it's getting harder every day.  Of course you would love a Harbaugh if he was your head coach but there sure is a lot of respect for them being open and honest as they visit Trump at the White House.
   Sportsradio 810 host Jason Anderson posted fantastic side by side comparison pics of Travis Kelce at the Lake Tahoe Celebrity golf tourney last year and this year.  Kelce was an all out bloated slob in the photo... from LAST YEAR.  This year... ripped.  So, it's ok to point out a year later that Kelce wasn't serious about being in shape but not of a player as it's actually happening? It's your choice... you can choose real or cheerleader media.  
  Charles Barkley says he will "100 percent" support Auburn basketball coach Bruce Pearl if he runs for Senate in Alabama.  Pearl is Jewish and conservative and outspoken.  Stay tuned.
   The Royals host the Mets this weekend and have a huge night Sunday in the MLB draft as they have FIVE picks on the first day.
   And our Song of the Week takes us back to Lake Tahoe and that celebrity golf tournament we worked so many times over the years.   We have a Trump story, a Mark Cuban story and a Song of the Week  from a band that took a liking to Miss Jessica.
