Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   The Marion County Record was raided by cops after it was believed the paper was illegally obtaining information about private citizens.  You know how one sided this story has been, and of course, they could be right.  The police chief could be corrupt.  But it's about to be a small town tsunami as all the national media, and now, an outrageously high priced and powerful legal team in KC is on the case for this tiny little paper.  They will overwhelm even the KBI.
   President Trump says he's got all the goods he needs on Fulton County, GA and the election in 2020 and will release it Monday.  
   Presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy first went viral in Iowa for rapping a song by Eminem and now his exchange with an LGBTQ+ activist has vaulted him to an even higher level.  It's just fantastic and we'll share the deets with you.
   The Chiefs lose a tight end for the year but have good news in the secondary as we get you up to date on the injury list.
   And KU announces $300 million worth of projects will begin work at the end of this football season but may be creating higher expectations than they are about to deliver.  I'll explain. 

   You've heard about the raid on the Marion, KS newspaper by the local police and county sheriff.  Now, after a complete national freak out by liberal media accusing the police of wrongdoing, which is anything but proven at this point, the Kansas Bureau of Investigation has taken over.  Thanks NPR and others, for wasting our tax dollars on a seedy small town case involving a DUI and likely sex scandal.
   Trump and 18 others have been indicted in Fulton County, GA for one simple reason... election interference.  Even if convicted in a totally stacked trial, racketeering charges would be appealed and would never, ever hold water.  So why is the DA, who sloppily (and maybe illegally) leaked the info, doing all this?  She wants a mugshot and a tv trial to ruin the election for Trump.
    Chris Jones is likely just days away from reporting to the Chiefs practice facility at Arrowhead after holding out has already cost him $2.9 million to charity.  This is sooooo stupid. 
   Brady Singer took a no hitter and a 5-0 lead into the 7th inning last night at the K but after horrible managing and even worse bullpen pitching, the Royals needed heroics in the bottom of the 9th to win.
   And shame on male athletes for letting female athletes take the lead on important issues and topics that need to be mentioned publicly.  The boys are getting schooled.

   First up, my thoughts on the Chiefs first teamers and their sleepy play against the Saints.  Then, did you hear what I heard when Chiefs President Mark Donovan said on the broadcast that the team wants to renovate Arrowhead for soccer first and then for Chiefs fans second... by 2031?  Sounds like an all inclusive, two renovations for one vote is inevitable even though not a single Chiefs fans cares about global elite World Cup parties in KC for people that can't find us on a map.  Somebody has to pay for their little soccer party and it sounds like they're about to leverage Patrick Mahomes to fund it. 
   Then, Stan Weber returns to discuss what he saw in the game and talk a little college football realignment.
   Basketball star Enos Freedom, blackballed by the NBA, is threatening to go transgender and try out for the WNBA to make a statement.  That would be epic.
   Hawaii's governor blames global warming for the devastating fire while residents are filing lawsuits blaming the power company.  And even Dems are starting to say Hunter could be Joe's demise.
 

     One of the great benefits of starting this podcast has been the opportunity to meet and work with so many exceptional small business owners that make America go.  After John Hutchins left the Air Force, he met and married Heather and together, almost 18 years ago, started www.amazinggaragefloors.net. 
    They started as a mom and pop but have since trained others all across our region and in many states how to run their own garage flooring business and work for themselves.  It's as American as it gets.
   John and Heather are hard workers, tremendous patriots and a really fun couple.  She loves the heaviest of metal while he's a little 80's music.  He loves Royals fantasy camp and her dad was a football coach.  They are perhaps proudest to sponsor events like www.redwhiteandbluma.org to benefit military charities.  We'll talk about that, sports and politics.  It's all here. 
   Enjoy our "pre-happy hour" conversation and for the next couple weeks they are offering flooring discounts for KKHI listeners if you want to call them at 913.901.7139.

   Of course its only the start of preseason for the Chiefs but that doesn't mean we don't have a couple clues to look for as the KC plays the Saints on Sunday.
   Missouri Governor Mike Parson has done a fine job in the Show Me state and now has something to show for it... his first tattoo.  Yes, it has a Chiefs Super Bowl 57 theme, but it's much more than that.
   A national organization committed to promoting native American history is demanding the Washington Commanders, whose new owners are changing the name, BRING BACK the name Redskins.  
   The greatest sports gambler in history has a new book coming out and it's got a ton of juicy details about the partnership he and golfer Phil Mickelson had.  Your jaw will drop.
   Joe Biden wishes he hadn't name the Inflation Reduction Act the way he did.  This is an all timer as he admits to lying to America while trying to take credit with climate freaks.
   And an actor that made news hosting SNL is now wearing an RFK Jr ball cap and liberals everywhere are completely freaking out.

   We rarely spend  time on wild fires or drought or tornados on this podcast but I'm not sure I've ever seen anything as bad as what has just happened in Maui.  The adorable little town near the tourist zone is just flat gone.  It doesn't sound right to say, but the images look like Pearl Harbor.  36 are already confirmed dead in one of the worst things ever.
   New polls about inflation show that the overwhelming majority of Americans blame Joe Biden.
   Conservatives are targeting NASCAR to "Bud Light Them" after a controversial firing of a driver.
   A listener sent me the link to all our weather information for July in KC and what do you know... we were way colder and wetter than normal.
   ESPN and Penn Gaming have struck a $2 Billion deal that will bring ESPN Bet to your app store in Kansas and an ESPN Sportsbook at Hollywood Casino in KCK.  And 23 year old Bobby Witt Jr already has his jersey hanging in Cooperstown.

   It's actually becoming hilarious as more and more information is learned about Joe Biden, who says he never spoke to his son about his business dealings.  The latest, Joe Biden and Devon Archer were actually featured, with photographs, on the Burisma Energy website when Hunter had to email these clowns to take it down.  Still, questions loom about whether any questions loom.  Will anyone in the media, ever, get a chance to ask Joe about all this?
   Your humble host received a creepy survey from the US Census on behalf of Health and Human Services about children and their health status.  Oh, this has me asking a million questions about what is going on here.
   The Fake News media are all over Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas for accepting a Super Bowl ring from Jerry Jones... 30 years ago.  They get the entire story wrong on several counts including the fact the ring is a replica and you can buy them online for $12.  
   The Royals are getting better... not totally sure what that means but its fun to watch.  And Travis Kelce hits on Taylor Swift and she won't give him the time of day.  So he's "butthurt."  You gotta hear all this as it also involves Bills QB Josh Allen.

   You won't believe what got a broadcaster for the Baltimore Orioles suspended... but it did.  It's just another in a long list of dishonest decisions and censorship that has overtaken US Media largely controlled by big corporations and the Democrat Party.  This control has basically taken Constitutional ideals and thrown them out the window. 
   The new Big 12 will likely have two divisions and what they name them will be far more important than which school is in which division.  I'll explain.
   The Royals have been around since 1969 and they may have never been victims of a worse call than they got in the bottom of the 9th in Boston Monday night.  It was as awful as the 1985 Jorge Orta World Series call was great. 
   The man that Hunter Biden's ex wife said had control "of every aspect of our financial life," while running the shady businesses of this family visited the White House 36 times when Joe Biden was VP.  Does Joe still say he didn't know anything about Hunter's biz?  This is such a scam.  It's time to get Eric Schwerin under oath.
  Bud Light's parent company is cutting it's work force and selling off other beer brands and Mega Millions is up to $1.6 billion.

   If Team USA was going to get knocked out of the Women's World Cup, millions of Americans probably couldn't have scripted it any better than having hater Megan Rapinoe be the goat.   How is it possible that half our country was literally rooting against her?
   The Big 12 not only survived, it grew.  Let's call it the Big 16 and let the games begin.
   A fight broke out between the White Sox and the Guardians this weekend and Cleveland's radio announcer flat out crushed it with his play by play of the brawl.  We have it for you.
   And Bryson DeChambeau is one of the top golfers in the world, has won the US Open and wears MAGA on his sleeves.  So we tip our cap to him after winning this week with a final round 58!

   Thanks from the bottom of our hearts for your support of this podcast as we have crossed 4 million downloads.  And this one is a doozy.  I agree with Mayor Q who is really upset with the Royals about a possible downtown ballpark.  Credit to www.petemundo.com on KCMO Talk Radio 710 for interviewing the mayor about this and you won't believe what he said.
   And ESPN reporter provides an update on the Chris Jones contract situation while Joe Montana talks about silly sideline phone calls he used to make when he played.
    Then, there are three huge "tells" from the Trump arraignment that let you know this is a total joke.
   An Obama biographer says there are love letters from the former president from college to his girlfriend that he fantasizes about sex with men and I've got a new song suggestion for you this weekend.
