Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   It's Independence Day weekend and my favorite current ball player is a great American to celebrate.  Salvador Perez is an All Star for the 7th time, and by a mile, he's the best catcher in baseball.

   Patrick Mahomes, along with Michael Jordan, Wayne Gretzky and other sports stars, has invested in a new live sports streaming app.  This app is different than the others and it sounds like a really good idea for sports fans.  We'll explain.

   The White House once again proves its tone deaf by trying to convince Americans your holiday cookout costs less this year and the Biden economic plan is working.  They think we are stupid, can't count and aren't paying attention.  Are they right?

   And while Congressman Jim Jordan is proving Dr. Fauci has lied to cover up for spending our tax dollars in a lab that leaked Covid, almost 60% of Americans say they are less free than before the pandemic.  Thanks, Dems.

   It reads like a bombshell but it seems like we all knew what's in Politico's hit piece on VP Kamala Harris.  Chaos in the office, in fighting, low morale and a total lack of leadership is the basic story.  Just like her campaign.  But this piece is no accident, we discuss who is behind it.

   President Trump says he has made up his mind on whether he's running for President again, it seems pretty obvious he is.   Trump is at the border blasting Biden and it sounds like he's a little over a year away from starting a new campaign.

   The activist athlete that turned her back on the flag during the Star Spangled Banner, and her team of handlers, has made a huge mistake.  They forgot to take down a photo on her website that proves this is all just a cash grab.  We'll tell you what's in the photo.

   Spin rates for pitchers are way down in MLB, but it isn't helping the Royals who've lost 8 in a row.  We've got the spin rate numbers for you.

   The PGA Tour is so embarrassed by booting Jon Rahm from a tourney he was going to win, because he tested positive for a virus, they've changed their rules for the better.

   As a Journalist, it breaks my heart the American media have become so dishonest and biased.  A new global study should serve as a wakeup call to all of us that the information available to you cannot be trusted and we should all be skeptical.  This is eye opening.

   More election chaos where the Dems are in control.... the latest is the disastrous primary for New York City mayor.  They've recalled 135,000 ballots because the idiots mixed in thousands of "test" ballots with actual votes.  The worst part is, nobody is surprised.

   MU Quarterback Connor Bazelak has gone to Twitter to troll for business to hire him to endorse their products, and why not?  The college free for all is about to start and it looks like quarterbacks are the first to cash in.

   And a new report suggests the NFL is on the cusp of a data explosion.  They've had an electronic "tag" in the ball for three years, now they want to tag all the players, refs, equipment and everything else.  We ask the question... do you want more data in football or do you want them to leave your favorite game alone?

   Free Beer!   I mean, there's no way we don't lead with Chiefs star Travis Kelce at an event where he won free beer for Kansas City.  It's not the most important story today, but it may be the most fun.

   The International Olympic Committee has taken a bold step the United States Olympic Committee, the NBA, NFL, and MLB won't.  It's a big deal and seems crazy that our country is now softer and more liberal that the IOC.

   A local quarterback playing at a big college is the first athlete to trademark his own logo and release it publicly.  This young guy is looking to cash in on his name, image and likeness this fall.

   Maricopa County Arizona hasn't released any numbers from it's forensic audit of last November's election, but they have tipped their hand.  The county has announced it's getting rid of every single type of machine they inspected and they want to go back to paper ballots.  The county has 4.5 million residents.  This story just gets bigger.

   Royals Owner John Sherman has some tough decisions to make about his team.  Sherman can't be pleased with the disastrous lack of development taking place with the young players, especially the pitchers.  Is he contemplating blowing this thing up this off season?  We explore his options.

   Missouri Governor Mike Parson cut off unemployment benefits in his state and what do you know... people went back to work.  Missouri's unemployment rate is well below the national average now as Parson has shown everyone how to do it.

   And the people conducting the audit of last year's election in Arizona now say they aren't releasing any information this week.  The audit wrapped up last Friday, this looks really bad to be delaying now.

    This is the most important episode of KKHI yet.  

    There are a lot of things upsetting people today like inflation, crime and an employment problem.  But did you ever think you would live in a an America where the President weaponized the federal government to raid and arrest people that didn't vote for him?  This is no different that the Soviet Union, Nazi Germany or today's communist China.

   Over 500 Trump supporters have been arrested for stepping inside the Capital on January 6.  Thursday, it went from horrible to unacceptable.

   James Cusick is a 73 year old pastor of a church in Florida.  He volunteered to fight in Vietnam and was awarded the Purple Heart.  His son works at his church with him.  They were both raided by the FBI and arrested and jailed as part of the dragnet across America to persecute Trump supporters.

   What did pastor Cusick do?  Well, when the Capital officers waved him in on January 6, they showed him where the bathroom was so he could use it.  Now he's in jail.  Welcome to America 2021. 

   Let's not take sports so seriously that MLB is ruining its sport by checking pitchers for cheating, that's ridiculous.  The goofy stuff will fade and we'll be left to answer the question, is baseball getting better?  It's really small sample but I've got some numbers for you that could mean we are already seeing a more entertaining game.

   Sporting Kansas City is good again and they beat Colorado 3-1 on Wednesday.  But it's the fans that are really good... nearly 19,000 pack into Children's Mercy Park.  It's mostly Biden voters and they are screaming loud they are done with Covid and ready to move on.  Welcome to the good side!

   Speaking of Joe Biden, he may have had his worst day yet when he trotted out a lame anti crime initiative.  His plan goes against everything he's ever stood for in 48 years in DC and he knows it.  It showed in his delivery.

   And a group of people south of KC want to start a new town called Golden, Ks.  They are tired of their rural area being gobbled up by the Logistics Park along I-35 in Miami, Co.  This is Trump country and these savvy folks have found a way to get the liberal media on their side.  You have to hear this.

   Well, it only took me ten months to do something as boneheaded as doing a podcast where I toss to a segment of the Chris Stigall Show and you didn't hear it.  It's my fault 100 percent, I goofed.  I know how I goofed and I will probably do it again at some point.

   Thanks to the 100 or so of you that pointed out to me that I have issues. 

   Here's some fun and of course, the missing piece from College Athletics at the Crossroads.

   Who doesn't love former Mizzou pitcher Max Scherzer?  He's gifted, smart, fiery and will grind until the job is done.  Scherzer has decided to grind on MLB commish Rob Manfred, umpires and even Phillies manager Joe Girardi.  Scherzer dropped his glove and hat and unbuckled his pants mocking the new substance checking system on Tuesday night and it was EPIC!

   Royals pitches got checked too, and while it's too early, some stud pitchers have struggled already knowing they will get checked.  Gerrit Cole of the Yankees walked a bunch of Royals as KC scored 6 and beat the Yankees.  It's going to be interesting to see if getting rid of a substance called Spider Tack creates more offense.

  In Virginia, a school board meeting is chaotic as parents are fighting back against crazy liberal board members.  This meeting featured arrests, a suspended teacher and left over 200 parents that signed up to be heard being silenced.  Public Schools are ground zero in the fight to keep America great.

   When the Supreme Court ruled against the NCAA in its latest case, the media rallied and declared amateurism dead.   Maybe it is, maybe it isn't.  I just know that I love college athletics and I'm scared to death where it's headed.  

   As the College Football Playoff Board of Managers has taken the next step toward a 12 team playoff, it begs the question if they are about to create another pro football league.

   We discuss the pros and cons of all this and we have a piece of an interview I did with Chris Stigall on KCMO Talk Radio 710

   We're dropping names on KKHI.  Four people in sports you know, in the news for four different reasons.  We have a lawbreaker, a Jerry Springer sage, a retirement and a broken record.  Find out who they are are.

   The WHO now says there's not enough evidence that minors should take the Covid vaccine.  Well, the Dems aren't going to like hearing this.  Seems the WHO now believes Covid is no real risk to minors.  Who knew?

   Dems are breaking all over the place with the whacky wing of their party.  The latest is Kyrsten Sinema, a Senator from Arizona.  She says the filibuster must stay to avoid repeated radical reversals.  And apparently thee are more Dems than you can count now that privately agree with her.

  And two more incredible hero cop stories.  One in Florida that's caught on video as police work with firefighters on a bridge over a busy interstate.  The other is a KKHI listener sharing his family's story of being victims of a violent robbery and how the police solved the case.

   If you want to know why the Olympics are not as popular as they once were, well, the globalists have taken over.  It played out right before our eyes during qualifying this week as two women made their teams.  The first is an American swimmer, the second is a weightlifter from New Zealand.  These two absolutely represent the best and the worst of the games.

   Adelberto Mondesi's play is off the charts, his availability is based on his medical chart.  Here we go again?  Who knows?  But when he plays, this guy is spectacular.

    Jon Rahm wins the US Open on Father's Day with a pair of dramatic birdie putts on the final two holes.  It's the stuff legends are made of.

   NFL players are coming out right and left blasting their union for agreeing to a bunch of silly covid rules, surely the NFL won't really enforce this stuff.

   And Thomas Massie, a congressman from Kentucky, sums up the vaccine hysteria at a fire Fauci news conference.  Massie can't be dismissed as some whacko as he has a Masters of Science degree from MIT.

   With the Royals in a complete free fall, let's talk about what the Chiefs have accomplished this off season and what we should look forward to as training camp opens in just 6 weeks.

    Stan Weber is here to talk about all things Chiefs, the new 17 game schedule in the NFL and College Football's soon to be 12 team playoffs.

   So much football... so much time... as we are feasting in June.

   Charles Barkley appears on a DC radio show and threatens to leave TNT because of cancel culture and his "jackass" bosses.  This could be a ploy to get more money, but Sir Charles makes some points every fair minded American should hear.

   The NFLPA has agreed to some insane rules for players that don't get the vaccine and the players are pissed.  You should hear some of the things non-vax players have to do.

   So you cut cable and don't get the Royals games on Bally Sports... would you pay $23 per month to get the games through streaming?  We go over the details of what's next for Royals fans.

   The Fed says inflation is going to be 3.4% this year which begs the question, what in the hell has gone up only  3.4% this year?  

   And Putin beats Biden 42-10 as a 17.5 point favorite at a neutral site.  This one was over before it started.

   This is clearly something we wish we didn't have to talk about, kind of like things that go on in your family.  You see them from the inside and deal with them, but when an outsider steps in and says something, it changes they way you think.  Vladimir Putin has basically said the killing of Ashli Babbit on January 6 and the continued jailing of trespassers for political reasons is worse than anything he's doing in Russia.  It really hurts coming from him.

   The Royals are reeling but they aren't as bad as one National League team that has now lost an astounding 21 straight road games.

   And Vegas just won't lower the odds on Phil Mickelson to win the US Open as they taunt bettors to just keep laying money on him at 50-1.  A win by Phil this week would be the biggest loss in Vegas history.

    The NFL has this one coming as a hero cop is suing for defamation after the NFL honored a criminal victim last year in a media campaign.  This black officer is a hero for his actions at his job and his actions filing this suit as a citizen.  The criminal he killed in a shootout was a dangerous threat to society and the NFL had no idea.

   If you worked in retail, would you take $4 more per hour to wear a mask?  One retailer in Kansas City is paying that much more to keep up the charade, we'll tell you who it is.

   Chiefs mini camp opens and the whole team is expected to attend.  If not, the fines are huge.  We'll take a look at one particular position group the Chiefs need to shore up before the opening in September.

   And a Monday morning qualifier for a PGA event in Wichita includes police responding and arresting a golfer for assaulting a golfer in his playing group.  You have to hear this story.

   Forget policy for now, Joe Biden looks terrible on the world stage as America's president.  Yes, he's my president and yes, I'm embarrassed.  Boris Johnson has to correct him, he snaps at reporters from other countries and at times he just looks absent.  And he's so comfortable playing second fiddle to others.  Bad look.

   A soccer player collapses in Italy and the reaction is that it's because he took the vaccine.  He hadn't taken the vaccine but it begs the question, why is the rest of the world so skeptical while we are not?

   Former Chiefs runningback LeVeon Bell bashes Andy Reid of the weekend.  Bell's had plenty of other run ins before but it does bring up a sore spot that Bell was active for the Super Bowl and didn't carry the ball once.  That game as a mess for a lot of reasons.

   Travis Kelce is a great example of getting better every day and we aren't talking football.  Kelce came to KC immature and was a little risky.  Turns out he does as much good off the field as anyone in the game.  You'll like hearing what he did in his hometown of Cleveland this weekend.

The Royals had a tough week but Salvador Perez is having an All-Star season and continues to carry the lineup. Our 44th President Barack Obama weighs in on cancel culture again and says it has gone too far, Spencer Kietzman ties this in with a story out of New Jersey where a school district is cancelling holidays on their academic calendar. A Delta Airlines pilot left a note to whoever would get in his plane again after being forced to shut down back in March 2020, this not wasn't found for another 435 days. 

  Deplorables are gathering everywhere and being heard like never before.  Maybe it's a post covid thing, maybe they just can't stand anymore hate America crap from the Dems.  Whatever it is, an awesome Star Spangled Banner broke out at a hockey game and you have to hear it.

   Kamala Harris just keeps taking heat for not visiting the border and it's clear that Hispanics don't much care for her.  She snaps at a Univision reporter while the rest of the Democrat party is infighting in DC.  They're a hot mess.

   Did you know when you consume coverage about the Chiefs, you're only getting what they want you to get?  I'll read for you the rules for reporters covering the team... that reporters follow... or risk losing their jobs.  This is so sad. 

   And Garth Brooks tickets are on sale for his show at Arrowhead Stadium after he sells out 86,000 seats for his Nebraska show in just 75 minutes.  Garth is a phenomenon but also another great sign that deplorables will gather and make left shake their heads. 

   With all the football media fixation solely on quarterbacks this off season, has anyone noticed three teams have cancelled "mandatory" mini camp as the players make strides to work less and less?   We explore the possibility football players are feeling empowered by the NBA players takeover of their sport and what it would mean for America's favorite game.

   It was hard to tell if the Royals' awful play on the field or the ESPN broadcast of their game was worse Wednesday night.  What was that?  Also, USA Track and Field won't require vax to compete in the Olympics.  Who knew?

   AOC is on a rampage... she's mad at Kamala, Joe Biden and Mitch McConnell.  Even she admits she's in the minority and on the fringe so why does she get so much attention?

   Whatever happened to the scarf lady?  Is Fauci the next to do a disappearing act?

   And me and Cabo had a strange encounter with a masked lady at the car wash.

   If you will indulge me a bit, I'm going to pass on talking about Joe Biden's trip to Europe....  I have some personal stuff to share.  

   You may or may not know my mom has not been on top of her game the past couple months but I've got an incredible story to share about skilled doctors that really care, miracle robots and the nicest group of healthcare workers I've ever seen.   American Exceptionalism is on display every day as the  cancer mortality rates just keep dropping.

   We also mix in some sports on this all positive episode of KKHI.  Since the Chiefs have the best quarterback, let's have a laugh or two at the expense of the once mighty that have quarterback battles this summer.  And if the feud between Brooks Koepke and Bryson DeChambeau is a fraud it's bloody brilliant.

   Kamala Harris failed her news conference so badly it could have been a national security crisis.  Why do people in high places phone these things in?  We take a hard look at those in power and why they think they are untouchable.

   Hunter Biden seems to be the only middle aged white male in America that can use the N word and get away with it.  Shouldn't be a surprise, his dad's mentor was a Klan recruiter.  One "controversial" white rapper is getting millions of downloads calling out all the snowflakes,  we'll play the song for you. 

   Mexican soccer fans in Colorado are an afterthought after the match is stopped for a traditional chant they have toward opponents that's a gay slur.  Then they pelted the field with garbage and hit an American player in the head with a full beer can.  But you won't here about this... the media are way to focused on a fan sprinkling some popcorn on a Dem Privileged NBA star.

   The Royals look like they could lose 11 in a row again and KU releases its basketball schedule. 

   After several days in Florida, I'm so optimistic for America!  Florida is open, fun, free and filled with happy conservatives on vacation with cash in their pockets.  The people of Florida know this and have started an awesome campaign of "Make America Florida."  Count me in as I already bought the tee shirt.

   Former Chiefs coach Britt Reid can drive again as a judge has ordered an interlock device on his car.  The attorney for Ariel Young's family has some harsh words about the decision as this saga continues.

   ESPN fired Kelly Stewart and my first reaction was I was surprised they didn't do it sooner.  Not that she doesn't deserve a second chance, it's just that ESPN is so soft and predictable.

  The Royals are having trouble again, Floyd Mayweather is a truth teller and a fight breaks out at Worlds of Fun.

   If you love sports and even remotely love golf, our convo with legendary PGA Professional Jeff Burey is a real treat.  Jeff coached Marty Schottenheimer and George Brett and a host of other sports greats.  

   Jeff served our great country in the Navy and played golf with the ship's Captain in port.  He eagled the 13th at Augusta National and his first caddie job was for legendary broadcaster Jim McKay.  His resume after that?  Pinehurst, Wolf Creek and Prairie Dunes.   His stories are chronicled in a new book available at www.kansasgolffoundation.org called "Blessed...Stories in the Life of a Golf Professional."  

The Royals have recovered from their 11 game skid, and are playing good baseball since. They've won 5 in a row and are giving the fans in KC something to watch every night. A color commentator for a MLB team is taking a leave of absence for an insensitive comment relating black culture to the stereotype of white men imitating black culture, and a KSU grad who was recently hired by ESPN has been let go for tweets sent out years ago. Spencer Kietzman is here to break it all down on the weekend edition of KKHI. 

   Dr. Troy Burns has been practicing medicine in Kansas City for decades.  A pioneer in a unique family primary care system, Dr. Burns has built Pro Partners Healthcare into a better way for patients to have direct access to their physicians.

   I've known Dr. Burns for 20 years.  He's straight forward, to the point and really smart.  During this unique conversation, he talks about what we did right, what we did wrong and what would should do going forward after a pandemic. 

   While this is not a political interview, I think you'll find we would have all been better off if Dr. Burns and so many doctors like him, had been in charge of the policies that impacted us over the past 15 months.  We also talk about good health and the latest trends athletes are using to get into peak physical condition.

   As you probably know, we have a patron program at KKHI and it includes weekly segments with Danny Clinkscale that's a new twist on the old radio show.  BTL 2.0 is a lot different than the show that aired on Sportsradio 810 for almost 22 years when that station was number one.  During a recent episode, we shared stories about our careers, people we met, people we interviewed and events we covered.

   Many of these stories, we had never shared with each other.  We hope this is as much fun for you as it was for us talking about it all. 

   A Jackson County, Mo judge has put a 30 day halt on Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas' attempt to take over $43 million of police budget previously run by the state.   Q vows to fight the state all the way to the Supreme Court so he must not be too confident he will get to control this money.

   President Biden goes to Tulsa to remind us about how awful our ancestors were and winds up bungling the whole thing in a confusing word salad that felt out of touch and from the wrong generation.

   Andrew Benintendi hits a grand slam as the red hot Royals keep rolling.  Benny is so good we almost feel guilty nobody remembers Alex Gordon is retired.

   And Vegas has released odds on which teams have the best chance of winning the Big 12 in football.

   Everywhere Patrick Mahomes goes, he makes news.  The latest?  Mahomes says he would love it if Aaron Rodgers got traded to Denver and played the Chiefs twice a year.

   Adelberto Mondesi has had a great first week, now he's got to stay healthy.  Mondesi plays with the ease, swagger and confidence of a bat swinging Patrick Mahomes.

   We hate that NBA fans are acting badly but continuing to insult them won't fix it.  If the NBA is serious about cleaning this up, it starts with them realizing their players provoked it.

   And we all need solid reminders from Joe Biden on how awful America is.  June 1, it will be epic as Joe gets to pull out the old bread and butter play from the playbook.

   Memorial Day should be a day all Americans can pull together on common ground, honoring our fallen soldiers.  We explore the origins and history of this great day that is much more than the unofficial start of summer.

   Mayor Q had a bad week, can you believe it?  So many citizens are livid he's defunding the police and he's having a bad time with local media that are honest.  Plus, the St. Louis mayor got more attention than Q.  Poor guy.

   There is a free for all to replace Rush Limbaugh in the 11-2 syndicated radio time slot.  Dan Bongino has already gobbled up all the big markets.  Other markets are putting on local shows.  And now Clay Travis and Buck Henry are supposed to replace Rush on hundreds of stations?  That's comical.

   Patrick Mahomes skipped practice for a golf tournament... ok.  Hey, the only thing that matters is what Andy said after the first week of OTA's and that's that Mahomes was a "full go" when he was there.  Boom!

  And the Royals open an important series against the surging Twins this weekend.  Is Kris Bubic the ace?  He gets  a big assignment in game one.

   Patrick Mahomes is everywhere... and that's ok.  It used to be so important for the Chiefs starting quarterback to be at the facility, working harder than everyone and showing the way toward teamwork.  But Mahomes is so special, he gets to make his own rules and no teammate would ever think twice.

   Alex Smith is speaking out about the Aaron Rodgers/Packers situation.  This is pretty rare as Alex rarely has an opinion.  But the gloves are off on this one.

   The NBA is dealing with several fan and player incidents right now but that's not the only place.  Rain delays, airline flights and street corners are also places people are acting crazy.  What's going on here?

   And almost every day now another prominent Dem is speaking out against the party going to far left with "wokeness."  They seem to know they have big trouble ahead.

   Phil Mickelson dunked all over Lebron James Sunday with a tv audience bigger than the man former known as King James... who was playing in the playoffs.  It's time to re-think niche sports.

   Adelberto Mondesi is back with a bang and Brad Keller is back from the dead.  Put those two together and the Royals get their best win of the season Tuesday night in Tampa.  It's all good news for KC as they are back to .500.

   The Mike Tyson documentary on ABC is addictive viewing, just sensational journalism and filmmaking.  So Why can't we do this with fair and honest documentaries about, let's say, Clinton, Obama or Trump.  I'd watch.

   And Joe Biden is so good, his spox Jen Psaki says she can't keep up with him some days.  At half Biden's age, I'd say Psaki needs to get to a doctor immediately.

   The tired old narrative of racism in America is taking a beating as real racism takes over the headlines.  People waving Palestinian flags are beating up Jews while the number one hate crime category continues to be black on Asian violence.  Defunding the police, closing prisons and opening the borders don't seem to be helping much.

   The GM of the Boston Red Sox that traded away Andrew Benintendi is taking some heat from the media, and he should.  Benny is on fire while Franchy Cordero is hitting .179.  As the Royals get ready to open a series at Tampa against a red hot team they almost never beat, it may be Benintendi they need the most.

  Phil Mickelson's mom fired off a series of tweets to Phil's sister during the PGA Sunday asking her to text Phil while he was playing. "Don't hit bombs," she implored... just make pars.  You gotta hear this story.

   And McDonald's, like so many others is trying to hire good people.  The private sector always figures out a way as this company is luring in applicants with something better than money.

   To find the big stories today, you have to look at stories being buried by the left.  Two such stories happened this weekend as Dr. Anthony Fauci admits the virus is man made from a lab and he funded the work in China.  At same time, he still says Rand Paul is a dangerous liar.  The only danger is burying the truth in America.

   In England, a very well known 27 year old BLM leader, Sasha Johnson, is shot in the head at 3:00am near a party.  She's been organizing a new "black led political party" and there are theories all over the place why this happened but nobody knows yet.  Still, if a black party is built in England, you can bet one is coming to America.  This is a really big deal.

   The Conservative crowd at the PGA Championship went wild Sunday for several reasons... including being locked up for a year by the woke left.  I think it's just the beginning of the new normal being wild crowds all over America at sporting events and concerts.

   And if you ever wondered why NASCAR doesn't race in the rain, we found out after a slew of crashed on a wet road course in Texas.  Drivers are livid.

   History is made at the PGA Championship as 50 year old Phil Mickelson becomes the oldest player ever to win a major championship.  It was epic, he's a legend and its not every day you watch a sporting event you will never forget.  This is as good as it gets in sports.

   The fans lost all control at the PGA and it seemed to me this is a glimpse of things to come, post covid.  It's obvious there was a lot of pent up frustration in a crowd that was probably 80 percent Republicans.

   And the Royals get outplayed all day before one big swing by Carlos Santana in the bottom of the ninth end it in walk off fashion.  Special Sunday indeed.

   If you appreciate great politicians, you have to admire the brilliance of Kansas City Mayor Quinton Lucas.  At just 36, he has his sights set on the Senate and of course, the White House.  He's so good he can defund the police in secrecy in just two hours with a Council vote and then turn around and go on Fox News and convince some Republicans he didn't defund the police and he stands for local and smaller government.  Some people are mad, but most people just buy what he's selling.

   Patrick Mahomes wants a chip in the ball to decide touchdowns when it crosses the goal line.  Did you know there is already a chip on the ball?  We tell you why it's in there and discuss if PM2's goal line idea is a good one.

   The Royals and Tigers are both on winning streaks as a three game set begins at the K.  The Royals are doing it with a a better bullpen, the Tigers got a no hitter this week.  And Adelberto Mondesi is close to returning... what are we waiting for?

   And Dodgers lefty Clayton Kershaw says 6 no hitters so far this year is bad for baseball and makes a great case why.

   The suddenly surging Kansas City Royals have bounced back from an 11 game losing streak by beating some of the top starting pitchers in baseball.  The Royals have won by winning the last three innings of the game.  Sound familiar?  It should, and it's become obvious now which Royals player is the biggest key to 2021 and beyond.

   Former Royal Lorenzo Cain is one of my favorite players ever but, wow, is he wrong about instant replay.  He lashed out in the media, just like Royals manager Mike Matheny did Sunday, and they are both way off base.

   GOP house intel reps are calling for a real investigation into how the Covid virus got out of a lab in China and our lives could literally depend on whether we figure this out, or ignore it all for political reasons.

   And Joe Biden tried to steal a line from Ronald Reagan at the Coast Guard graduation ceremony.  It wasn't enough that he botched it, then he insulted the grads.  Biden is a mess, I will  play the clip from Reagan in 1988 and Biden today.  It's embarrassing.

   Chris Stigall has been a national figure in conservative talk radio for years and knows a lot of players in DC.  In this KKHI Conversation, Chris says he thinks Joe Biden works part time because he has very little to do.  We also talk about how media coverage has changed in just four months and how Chris once hosted the Mayor's Christmas Tree lighting.

    The PGA championship starts this week and Danny Clinkscale shares what he thinks will take to win it.  And as we talk about the best player in the world, Justin Thomas, we ask why he didn't get cancelled for his offensive slur on live tv.  And why a Kansas City high school coach did. 

   The Royals have decided masks are optional at Kauffman Stadium, this is a good step.  A local columnist on the left now says it could have been done earlier and we can make our own choices.  We agree, but that would have been a lot smarter and more insightful months ago during football season.

   KU lands a big time hoops transfer... if he doesn't go pro.  Now the question is, could he make more at KU than going pro?  There's a quarterback in the Big 12 projected to make $700,000 in endorsements this year.

   Joe Biden called for Israel to stop defending itself then went golfing and hit a ball backwards. He didn't know where it went... what a metaphor for what's going on with his presidency.

   A CNN anchor pulls a childish stunt at the same time the company is changing ownership.  Makes us wonder if changes are coming with how CNN does business.

   And Melinda Gates wants a pile of money out of Bill Gates in their divorce... for her kids.  Bill has famously said they will only inherit $10million each and that won't fly with her.  This is classic.

   Its the first real criticism of Royals manager Mike Matheny after the Royals blow a chance to take 3 of 4 from the White Sox.  It was bad enough he trotted washed up Wade Davis out to save the game, but what he said after the game should have you concerned.

   The Chiefs get the on field part of 2021 started with Rookie camp and it went well for players like former Mizzou linebacker Nick Bolton.  But it went very poorly for one rookie in Atlanta at Falcons camp who was the victim of a really, really mean hoax.  You gotta hear this.

    A Cincinnati Reds player is the talk of every other player in the game after hitting a home run and then embarrassing Commissioner Rob Manfred during the post game interview.  This is classic.

   And Joe Biden is sitting on the fence with chaos in the Middle East.  His Secretary of State is saying, on foreign soil, that the U.S. wants proof Israel's retaliation is justified.  Uh oh. 

   Spencer Kietzman has issues with the new "Vax or Mask" announcement.  The NCAA shanks it off the tee by ending the college careers of some scholarship golfers who were stunned when their event was cancelled.  And the Royals have made a little rebound in Chicago.

   The "Mask-uerade" is over.  The CDC says we don't have to do this with a vaccine available.  No kidding... what in the world took so long?

   A private company with 36,000 is offering free college to all of them  and dependents.  And they are hiring and you don't even need a high school degree to work there.  So much for excuses in America that you can't get ahead.  The private sector is leading the way again.

   Hunter Dozier has become the poster boy for the Royals 11 game losing streak.  Dozier is 0-31 and everyone is all over him.  Remember when this happened to Alex Gordon and people said it's because of moving him around on defense?  

   And there's a sex scandal at Ohio State with the football team.  No surprise there.  But the NCAA says it's ok the players were paying for sex because the money didn't come from boosters or agents.  It came from the stipend Ohio State pays them, so it's all good.

   It's good to know somebody that makes every day count.

   Former Royals pitcher Jaime Bluma soared from high school baseball in Oklahoma to record setting closer during Wichita State baseball's glory days.  Two years later, just as he was settling into the Royals bullpen, a shoulder injury changed everything.

   Never a man to slow down, Bluma turned to working with kids and raising money for military charities.  His foundation, www.redwhiteandbluma.org is planning its next big event and you can join the cause.

   This conversation is with a really interesting man that got injured helping a child on the side of the road that was in a car wreck and went all the way to Alaska to be a pitching coach. 

   I loved when the NFL schedule came out long before it was cool.  But I'm not sure I've ever seen a Chiefs schedule like this.  The opener is Sept 12 at Arrowhead against the Browns and the playoff teams just keep coming.  The home schedule is incredible and if you want to travel, there's Vegas and Nashville.

   The Royals took a turn for the worse and made it 9 in a row, this is turning into a nightmare.

   Sporting KC is opening full capacity later this month and that news comes out the same day the NY Times blasts the CDC for basically lying to all of us.  Yes, the NY Times.  Let's all get outdoors, it's always been safe.

   Tony Fauci took questions from doctors Rand Paul and Roger Marshall on capitol hill and we've got a theory about where this is going.

   And does the Biden administration care about anything that matters or just the fluff that divides us?   We have a gas crisis, inflation, and bombs flying in the middle east.  Is Jimmy Carter back?

   The firing of Olathe North baseball coach Pete Flood was predictable after the media misreported that he called a player a racial slur.  All sides are in agreement now that the coach used the N-word about some disgusting music players were playing.  What's at issue here is exactly how he used the word.  Didn't matter, he's fired.

   With gas prices soaring and some stations out of gas, is Joe Biden the next Jimmy Carter?  If he is, we are on the verge of a conservative wave in America like we haven't seen since the '80's.

   There's one thing the Royals were good at earlier this year that led to a bunch of wins that they have been really bad at the past week.  It's the biggest chance for the this team to fix the losing.

   The Denver Broncos are making noise that they really, really want quarterback Aaron Rodgers in a trade with the Packers and the latest details have us slightly worried.

   A popular Saints player is putting up money to help New Orleans police, this is progress.  And a popular personality is leaving ESPN.

   It was a special day for my mom at Kauffman Stadium, even though the Royals lost again.  This was sort of our own personal finish line with Covid and it felt that way.  

   A week after Medina Spirit wins the Kentucky Derby there is controversy.  Big controversy as it's not possible this is the first horse disqualified from winning since 1968.

   The Los Angeles Times is losing money so its billionaire owner wants... you guessed it... government help to keep peddling liberalism.

  The NFL schedule comes out this week so maybe we can all make some travel plans to see a road game.  And Patrick Mahomes wins a worldwide sports award. 

   The Royals are in a free fall.  What's worse, this looks very, very real.  We take a look at what the Royals can do to turn it around.  Maybe.

   With a pair of letters to the Star and the racist "Shawnee Indian Mission" School District, KKHI has gone full blown liberal activist.  Will they respond?  And you get to decide if I'd make a good liberal.

   Why in the world do the Dems care about an audit of November's election in the state of Arizona?  They said it was all legit and there's nothing to see.  But judge after judge have said the audit can continue and now there are reports Joe Biden in sending in his Department of Justice.

   Also, a CNN anchor sees his ratings go up while he's on vacation and one easily identifiable physical trait could make you twice as likely to have a real problem with Covid.

   There's no telling what's going to happen in the California runoff election for Governor but it is clear Caitlyn Jenner will be the big story as she's going for gold in the golden state.

   My high school has dropped the name Indians but has picked one that we will prove is more offensive to any honest person with indigenous ancestry.  Does Shawnee Mission North not teach history?

   How out of control is the virtue signaling?  A married couple, outdoors, fully vaccinated kisses each other goodbye for the cameras.  WITH THEIR MASKS ON!  Besides being disgusting, the Vice President is now demonstrating spoiled, pouty behavior you wouldn't tolerate from your toddler. 

   In 2011, the Royals took Bubba Starling with the 5th pick in the draft.  They should have taken his Gardner-Edgerton High School teammate in the 45th round.  John Means tossed a  27 batter no-hitter for the Orioles that pretty much classifies as a perfect game.

   And Peloton stock dropped 15% as it recalls all of it's treadmills.  Unplug yours, never use it again.  Injuries and death are occurring and Peloton didn't want you to know. 

   Sometimes things pop up from the left that surprise the heck out of you and this is one of those weeks.  The cast members of Saturday Night Live have flipped out over Elon Musk hosting this show and are threatening to not work.  Oh, this is good stuff.

   Joe Biden has put an end to a 30 year Memorial Day tradition for Veterans that raises money for charity by coming to DC.  This is pathetic and outrageous.

   We now know what the Royals look like when they go bad and it's really bad.  Nobody knows who pitches when or why in that bullpen and Cleveland is feasting off of it.

   Former Chief Marcus Peters goes off, Lebron gets a free pass today and a college baseball coach has had it with no fans in the stands.

   This episode of KKHI is jam packed starting with my high school, Shawnee Mission North, dumping the mascot Indians.  To demonstrate how absurd all this is, I make the case the three new choices students want are just as offensive.

   Mayor Q invokes dead babies to try to get his way on an issue he tries to simplify but apparently doesn't really understand.

   Joe Biden and Dr. Biden get worked over by 5th graders on a school visit as they were shocked to learn that kids figured out tons of ways to scam schooling while staying home.  It's comical.

   Bill and Melinda Gates are getting divorced after 27 years.  They were so private for so long we wonder if going public and going far left brought them pressures and criticisms that were hard to deal with.

   The Royals have pitching problems now that they are playing division games, it seems a little self scouting is in order.

   And will the NBA ever fine LeBron James?  Now he's calling for league decision makers to be fined because the big baby doesn't like the rules.
