Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   We don't get many chances to lead with the Royals, but the remarkable trend of a really bad team winning frequently when pitcher Brady Singer starts continues.  Singer was sharp and now his starts account for half the Royals wins.
   The draft is here in KC and it's going to be wild.  But let's take a moment or two and target a couple players and positions that could help the Chiefs.
   The Wunderlich test has been replaced by a test called S2.  We have some leaked quarterback scores for you and a description of the new test that are eye popping.
    It didn't take Tucker Carlson long to get a job offer, I'll tell you who has offered him $25 million per year.  This happening as Dem candidate for Prez Robert Kennedy Jr shows huge support for Carlson and a pentagon official blasts the former host.  He must have been doing it right.
   And as Joe Biden announces he's running again the questions come fast and furious for the White House and it's really awkward.
   And our final final is about one of the greatest movies ever and what the man who made it says about changing it.

  If you only listen to one episode of this podcast this year... make it this one.
  Tucker Carlson was the only person in mainstream media questioning authority and shining light on the ruling class of politicians and media moguls.  He was as ruthless to Republicans like Lyndsay Graham as he was to Joe Biden.  And he never drew a line between the corporate greed of CNN or his own network, Fox News.  This used to be what all journalists aspired to be.  Oh, and he had millions more viewers than anyone else.
  We share the history of Tucker learning from his dad and I get personal sharing my decades long story that culminated the same way, in a new American climate where there simply is no ruling class appetite for the truth or something different.  Everyone just wants to be part of the club.
  As an example, we break down the grift that is the World Cup coming to places like Toronto and KC.  You won't believe the numbers in this scam and we just have to go along?
  Then, Joe Biden is running again, the NFL draft has a million more square feet in KC and a college basketball coach accidentally gives out his phone number on live tv. 

   We have to admit at KKHI that we've been underestimating the NFL Draft in KC.  If 300,000 people really do show up for this thing, it will be the biggest "sporting event" in our city's history.  We tap a couple experts to get their opinions about what we are about to see... www.dannyclinkscale.com and www.chrisstigall.com.  It's going to be much more than just players being picked.
   Very quietly, a new oil refinery expansion in  Texas has opened and it's cranking out a shocking daily number of gallons of gas per day.  You have to hear the story of this clean refinery and it's greatness.
   The Royals have watched the Angels wear a hat whenever one of their guys hits a homer... so now the Royals have a home run mask modeled after the movie Gladiator.  Somehow it look silly for such a losing team.
   The LIV Golf tour had it's biggest week ever as the whole world is watching wild highlights and madness with hundreds of thousands of fans at their event in Australia.  Tulsa is up next in a couple weeks... this should be interesting.
   And Jalen Rose of ESPN has gone on a leftist rant against one of the NBA's greatest legends ever.

   It's been quite a week for KU basketball as a  podcast series was released Tuesday with comments from former player Billy Preston and his mom blasting the KU coaches for acting as "victims" in the recruiting scandal at the center of their NCAA case.  The podcast, produced by KU business partner ESPN, comes out 48 hours AFTER the final hearings KU had with the NCAA regarding its case.   Hmmmm.  A possible punishment from the NCAA is now due this summer.
   The Chiefs are not only talking about the draft, they're taking this spring to remind everyone they will reset the salary bar in the NFL sooner than later with a whopper of an extension for Patrick Mahomes.
   Lions GM Brad Holmes is the first high profile sports person asked if he thinks biological males should be able to compete in girls and women's sports.  And he delivered!  Men in sports better get ready for this question as they are about to get it a lot.
    And the deception and dirty dealings of the Biden's just keep piling up.  Now we learn their campaign in 2020 drummed up the letter and signatures claiming the Hunter Biden laptop was Russian and a debate clip from just before the election looks really bad now.  But nothing ever happens!

   The Ralph Yarl case is awful and complicated all at once.  Nobody won here and there is no great outcome for either of the two people involved.  But piling on a frail, seemingly confused 84 year old man exposes the worst of us.  The new details around Andrew Lester's plea are just despicable.
   I've got two audio clips to play for you from national figures that have been in the news a lot over the last year.  You won't believe how these two people sound.
   How do you get and keep large crowds for the NFL Draft to stay all night for the end?  You hire Fallout Boy, Motley Crue and Thundercat to play each night after the drafting ends.  Who knew?
   We can scratch moving to Vegas off the list of possible Royals threats if they don't get a new $2 billion stadium because the A's are moving onto 49 of the most expensive acres in America right by the strip.  But somehow, the Royals want to spend 33% more money than the A's to build here.  What?
   And the soccer teams in KC appear to be as bad as the Royals.  The women's team just fired their coach after an 0-3 start for some mysterious reason. This same coach had them in the title game last year.

   Mayor Q has been everywhere this week exploiting the terrible story of an 84 year old man shooting a 16 year old kid.  But, why not? This is his game, he's great at it and he won't stop until he gets to the White House.
   KC public radio affiliate KCUR is the latest to drop Twitter.  It's pretty obvious NPR is asking all its affiliates to do this and they will comply.  You've no doubt heard them all claim they only get 1% of their funding from the government, well, I'm about to blow the lid off that as it's at least 31% of its funding BEFORE all the tax breaks.
   Kansas Senator Roger Marshall has been working for two years on a 300 page report about the origins of the Covid virus and it sounds like he's nailed it.  So much so that China is irate with what Marshall reports.
   The Royals get booed after falling to 1-11 at Kauffman Stadium and Bill Self has a huge month coming up in the transfer portal that will determine how good KU will be next year.

   There is no question 16 year old Ralph Yarl did not have any bad intentions when he mistakenly went to the wrong door last week but the case is much more complicated than what's being presented.  It's more than plausible that an 84 year old man that was asleep that night was truly scared and in fact called the police himself.  We simply have to get to a point where we stop jumping to racist conclusions and allow "innocent until proven guilty" to be our guiding light once again.  Andrew Lester may be a lot of things both good and bad... we just don't know yet.
   The Missouri House has passed a slam dunk bill that prevents trans persons from competing in girls and women's sports, 104-46.  It's got a chance to become law and wrecks my plan for the KC Current to win an easy championship.  Dang the luck. 
   It's hard for the Royals to hit a new low but they did it Tuesday night.
   The NFL Draft is coming to KC and if you can believe it, our town will have more security for this than Nancy Pelosi wanted for January 6.  Fact. 
 

   Trump insiders have leaked information to www.dailycaller.com about his strategy to potentially pick a running mate and it's no secret he wants a conservative woman.  We'll break down the odds of those women and the only white man that could be factoring in at this point, Josh Hawley.
   A surgeon is unemployed after getting sick 7 days after taking the Moderna jab two years ago and was forced to retire.  He's going to be ok but can't do his job anymore and he believes he's just one of hundreds of thousands if not millions of people that have had their life turned upside down.  Now his life goal is to help those people.
   Budweiser released a new ad this weekend that is just terrific but they're getting clobbered by many on the right.  But it's important to remember the context here, I'll fill you in.
   For almost everyone, the NFL Draft in KC will be a  free for all to hang out and watch around Union Station.  But for a select few with the means to buy a ticket, you could sit right by the stage as a VIP next Thursday night.
   Riley Gaines pens an incredible Op-Ed, Masters girl 2023 goes more than viral as she cashes in and a bagel shop in NY beats the tax man.  You gotta hear this.

   In the short term, there are no winners in the massive leak of classified military information a low level I.T. dude working in Cape Cod and living with his mom released to his war game buddies.  He's a criminal, plain and simple, even if this winds up saving millions of lives.  That wasn't his motive, he was just boasting.  But there's no painting him as some sort of a spy either.  Folks on the left and right should agree these leaks are bad, but not nearly as bad as being lied to by our government.  And NOTHING is as bad as the incompetence it shows.
   Joe Biden, in Ireland, says there was "nothing of consequence" in the 350 documents spread all over the internet and this is a total lie.  Biden's own people call this "highly sensitive" and for crying out loud these docs were labeled "classified" and "top secret."  Stop the lying.... just once!
   Officials in KC now say the NFL Draft is worth $100 million to the city's economy.  That's a big, fat maybe?  You won't believe some of the money being spent over this.
   And Bobby Witt jr. hit a foul ball Tuesday night that has gone viral.  If you haven't heard this story, you'll want to.  It's pretty cool.
 

   A young government employee that spends his time in an online gaming group with 25 other men and boys has taken 300 photos of incredibly sensitive secret documents and shared them with his group.  Now millions have seen them and it's completely embarrassing.  This man is in real trouble, but so is our military and intel as this was all very predictable.  Just like everything under this administration, these groups were too busy paying attention to things that are not serious.
   Elon Musk turns the tables on a BBC interviewer after labeling that media outfit as government funded.  Wow, are these government run media folks going nuts.  Musk became the interviewer, live on Twitter, and I'll play the amazing clip for you.
   San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich popped off again, this time at Senator Ted Cruz... and, calling the second amendment a "myth."  Wait until you hear Cruz' response.
   The Royals just finished a .500 road trip and begin a homestand Friday with a new beer sales policy.  No they are cracking it back.  The games are 38 minutes shorter and it's costing them money.... now they're extending your rights to a cold frosty.
   And Dennis Gates lands two veteran scorers and leaders to transfer in... guys that have won a ton of games.  HIs strategy is spot on.
