Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   The Biden administration is taking a victory lap as gas prices have dropped 50 cents in a month even though nobody has a clear reason why.  So I'll take a stab at a hunch that I have.
   Late night liberal Stephen Colbert presides over a staff of 9 employees that were arrested for trespassing in the Congressional office building.  And what do you know... he DOJ says they won't prosecute any of them.
   Golf announcer David Feherty is reportedly leaving NBC to go work for the new LIV Golf League and he may be paired with Charles Barkley.  Of course, they need to secure a tv partner but it appears that's close.
   The All Stars are ready to shine in LA Tuesday night and I'm rooting for a tie.  The tiebreaker could be epic, wait until you hear this.
   And a father and son shared a very special first pitch together in New York on Sunday.  This is a story that will make you smile.

   Is it possible in sports to watch absolute greatness and find it boring?  I'll answer that question emphatically with a YES and explain why the 150th Open Championship fell flat.
   The Royals season has been flat from the start and now they are 20 games under .500 at the All Star Break.  If the Royals were just a below average team they'd still be alive in their division... what a shame.
   There's an announcement coming Wednesday about a  Sportsbook opening at Hollywood Casino and the smart money says it will be affiliated with Barstool Sports.  This is going to be really cool.
    And thank goodness for good guys with guns.  This weekend a mall shooter in Indianapolis and a would be robber in St. Louis were shot dead by legally armed citizens.  Way to go good guys!

    With media bigotry running wild against anyone in America that hasn't taken the covid jab or anyone who is upset they had to for their employer, has anyone noticed these sports league publicly forcing information about people seems to be a violation of our rights under law?
   We know this... everyone in Canada with the Royals has taken the shot.  Is that fair for us to know?  And how many players took it but didn't want to?  This is a great conversation with the lead broadcaster for the team, Ryan Lefebvre.
   Ryan also chats with us about the new players this weekend and the second half outlook after the All Star break.

   This is the greatest story ever watching 10 Royals and three staffers sit out a series in Toronto because they don't want to take a shot that doesn't work to enter a country that doesn't want them.  They've broken no laws yet the bigots in the media believe it's ok to have blatant bias against their fellow citizens that have differing views.  How un American as we've been told to be tolerant and inclusive of others.  But not in this case. 
   A local columnist, behind a paywall where nobody can read it, has written a softly critical column "not here to demonize," laments that he'd like to talk to Whit Merrifield and the others but can't because he has Covid.  The writer is fully vaxxed and boosted.  You CANNOT make this stuff up. 
  And the Royals unknowns go out and beat Toronto anyway... 3-1 behind a Bobby Witt Jr. home run and some guy named Nate Eaton going yard.  

   Ten Royals players that have never taken a Covid 2019 shot are now ineligible to play in 2022.  That's a lot of time that's passed and these players have been proven to be just fine with their choices just as people that have taken shots are just fine.  These men stand tall in their conviction and they are heroes in my eyes.  And so is an organization that promotes individual freedoms!  Well done Royals.
   So the KC sports media, the same people that said players would die if they kept playing, surely will hammer away on these individuals and this team for being murderous thugs that don't care about others, right?  No.  You won't hear a peep from all the people that were wrong.
  A Swiss Tea Room in Overland Park doesn't want your business if you don't want to kill babies.  Employees are wearing "NO" stickers and buttons and you get free stuff if you walk in and tell them you're pro abortion.  You won't believe the snooty family behind all this... more rich, white elitists.
   Now that all the rich, white, college grads are voting for Dems, they are changing the rules of what we call white voters.  In the latest racist Dem move, they're calling their most important voting block "upscale voters" now.... could they be more shallow?
   The NBA is looking to lower the playing age to 18 and Oklahoma State coach Mike Gundy just flat out owned Big 12 media days saying all the good stuff out loud.  We have it for you.

   If you listen to this podcast, you probably fear the worst for America if the leftists ever take over.  It could mean a change in the Supreme Court, obliteration of the Constitution and one party rule.
   Gib Kerr has been in business and commercial real estate for decades and has been involved in many civic projects.  But when Gib felt what so many conservatives are feeling, he decided to do something about it.
   Kerr wrote and just released  a novel about what flyover states could do if and when the AOC wing takes over America.  It's called "States of Rebellion" and it's available at Amazon and www.BarnesandNoble.com. 
   We also chat with Kerr about the pathway to a new downtown ballpark for the Royals in a KKHI conversation with a first time novelist.  

   Hard to believe... but it's getting worse.  Inflation has now hit a staggering 9.1% and most of us believe it's actually worse than that.  Biden's answer is to  fly off to the Middle East and stumble around with leaders fist bumping them, maskless, because of Covid.  Oh ya, he also hugs them and then shakes their hand while speaking with them face to face 8 inches apart.  We explain what his latest charade is all about.
   The audio of Missouri Senator Josh Hawley questioning a young professor about men having babies is priceless... we have it for you.
   The 150th Open Championship at St. Andrews begins Thursday.  Tiger Woods has harsh comments for some fellow competitors while Jack Nicklaus is awarded an honor only two other Americans have ever received.  You won't believe who the other two are.  And Danny Clinkscale shares with us his favorites for the tourney.
   And LeBron James asks why Brittney Griner, who's being held in Russia, would even want to come home.  I've got a solution if LeBron is frustrated with Joe Biden... why doesn't he broker the deal through his connections in China?
 

   The Royals have won 4 of 5 after taking a double header Monday and plenty of players have been chipping in.  But Bobby Witt's 6 hit day has us all dreaming of what may come one day.  This kid is a star.
   A lot of people have been choosing sides between the new LIV Golf League and the PGA Tour.... including the Department of Justice.  The DOJ is now looking into the PGA Tour for perhaps breaking anti trust laws.
   Kevin McCarthy and the house GOP are already prepping for Investigations into the Biden family's business dealings and several other issues.  We've got info from a report that got a copy of an email describing seminars called, "Investigations 101" for all GOP House members to prep for gaining the majority.
   And Jill Biden, in Texas, goes all Joe Biden.  She compared Hispanic voters to Mexican food... oh boy, you gotta hear this.
 

   Donald Trump hasn't given a full endorsement to a Missouri Senate candidate yet which, according to polls, is a three way dead heat.  But Trump did tell Missouri voters this weekend to "forget" Vicky Hartzler.  This one is going to be wild.
   AOC was thrilled some crazy people stormed into a restaurant where SCOTUS justice Brett Kavanaugh was dining, forcing him to evacuate.  How is this conduct even remotely legal?  We have real laws that are being broken and lawmakers are cheering it on?
   Nike CEO Phil Knight was once considered the most powerful man in sports but now, in a new piece written by Dennis Dodd at CBS, Knight has been reduced to a cold calling telemarketer.  Knight is trying to negotiate the University of Oregon into the Big 10 or SEC and it isn't going well for him.
   If Oregon and Washington want in the Big 12, that league is headed for 18 schools and a new, 6 team division for KU and K-State.
   And Tyreek Hill, before playing a game, has become that spokesperson for the Miami Dolphins as he's made headline by talking about his quarterback.

   The story of the convenience store clerk in New York that has been arrested for murder is the very best and the very worst of America all in one as self defense is under attack from the left.
   In Japan, former Prime Minister Shinzo Abe has been assassinated in broad daylight at a campaign rally in a country that has almost no guns.  This is shocking to many.
   We'll go over the latest in college athletics realignment and did you know there's a wonderful program in KC that features several sports for all ages of kids that are home schooled?  With so many more parents taking education in house, this organization is vital for the development for some young athletes.
