Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   The grand opening of the Barack Obama Presidential Library and Eyesore went just about as you would expect.  It's still overbudget and not paid for, on stage they apologized for building it on stolen land and Obama himself talked about slavery.  Then it got worse.  Springsteen and Bono, who look like they have Ozempic Aids, sang sad songs and the whole place was a bummer than tried to have fake fun.  Who would have guessed?

   But here's a great story... the Marine Band at UFC 250 last Sunday night was so great they are all getting a bonus from POT...

   President Trump signed the memo that's that's a framework for a final deal with Iran and everyone seems to hate it.  But not me.  I can't say I love it but why would you not give it a try?  You can always go back to fighting... let's see if Iran is willing to follow some rules and play nice with others.

    Republican primary voters continue to choose candidates from the business world as outsiders they want in charge... even when they go up against Trump endorsed candidates.  It seems we are ignoring Trump's advice while trying to find the...

   Argentina's soccer star Lionel Messi had a match for the ages Tuesday night at Arrowhead as he started quickly with a goal that was taken away by an offside call.  So he proceded to score three more!   All three in the match to be accurate as Argentina and it's 50,000 or so fans at Arrowhead went wild watching a 3-0 win over Algeria.  It was spectacular.  But how many Kansas Citians were there remains a bit of a mystery and doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things.  KC residents turned out everywhere Tuesday for free fan events and watch pa...

   After all the talk, all the promises, all the changes and all the hype.... we finally get a World Cup match at Arrowhead in KC.  Let's forget all the other stuff and just celebrate high level sports competition that really, really matters to billions of people around the world.

   Texas Tech got hit from all sides Monday as the Big 12 filed a lawsuit to make their gambling quarterback ineligible, Kansas AG Kris Kobach fired off a letter and case precedent to the Texas AG and Tech's own coach put his foot in his mouth.  So it finally happen...

   It was the most epic Red, White and Blue weekend I can ever remember and it was topped off with a spectacular scene in DC for UFC Freedom 250 and a deal made with Iran.  Pinch me, if you will, because this just all seems too good to be true.  We are SO back and we are flaunting it everywhere from the soccer pitch to the Strait of Hormuz to the Octagon of Doom outside the Oval Office.  I voted for ALL of this.

It has been 38 years since I bought a truck.  That all changed Thursday and I'm pretty sure my dad is smiling down on me proud of my purchase!

   All quiet with Iran for now as Trump teases he may sign a deal this weekend just in time for the spectacle that will be UFC 250 on the White House lawn.

   I didn't think it was possible but Trump's Golden Age is making the NBA great again.  It's true.  And on Wednesday night, they are calling a shot by a player from Jefferson City, Missouri the most iconic shot in NY Knicks history.  Taylor Swift went wild and a whole lot of people are feeling included by this league again.

   In the middle of the bombing in Iran, their leaders called Trump on the phone and asked him to stop.  He told them to sign a deal or he's going to bomb them every day going forward.  Will this do i...

   So the kids are so unruly in Lee's Summit that business and city leaders have decided to end a 40 year tradition because..... why?  This is weak, feckless and so unlike Lee's Summit.  Grow a backbone.

   The situation in Iran, many have thought, would always be wrapped up by this weekend as a personal goal of President Trump.  Now he's threatening stronger action against them with more military strikes.  Oh, brother.

   The Netherlands takes over Riverside for the World Cup and there's something about the "Oranje" that I kinda like.  I think I will root for them.

   The entire college athletics world melted down Monday in a way we've never seen before.  It's not cheating, it's not stealing and it's not NIL.  It's a judge's ruling that allows a sports betting addict quarterback to play for Texas Tech this year while awaiting a trial about his eligibility.  It's literally everyone in college athletics against renegade program Texas Tech, and by extension, Patrick Mahomes.

   The Chiefs are bringing back a familiar player.  The Royals start a homestand.  KU baseball has its magical season end just a step short of the College World Series.  A World Cup refere...

   Is the frustration of the Iran conflict starting to grind on President Trump?   He's got bold new statements on Monday morning just a day after NBC News aired an exchange with Kristen Welker that left Trump taking off his microphone, ending the interview and walking out.  We'll bring you up to speed on all of it.

   Is it impossible for a pastor to win a Democrat primary in 2026?  A political science professor writes a story that leads you to believe there are just too many democrats that hate religion for Pastor Adam Hamilton to get nominated.

 President Trump had a full day handling questions about uranium in Iran, a reflecting pool filling with water and his planned trip to the NBA Finals.  All while dems say he doesn't communicate and isn't transparent enough.  This man is so busy it's incredible he doesn't get things jumbled.  He just doesn't.  And, just in time for America 250, he has delivered big time cleaning up the nation's capitol.  We have the receipts.

   It's a privilege to welcome Kansas Senate President and Trump endorsed candidate for governor Ty Masterson on the broadcast for the first time.  We'll talk about his expected strategy to skip a GOP debate Friday at Johnson County Community College, what the endorsement has done for his campaign, how he will attack property taxes if elected and much more.  Masterson is the presumed front runner now and here's a chance to get to know him a little.

   Then, Chiefs receiver Rashee Rice is getting out of jail for knee treatment at the hospital.  Maybe, just maybe, there is a li...

   Watching a couple great Republican candidates have success in the primaries in California is fun and it does signal something significant.  But don't buy into the hype that Spencer Pratt or Steve Hilton will win their general elections.  California is locked down by the dems in every way imaginable.

   60 Minutes lead anchor Scott Pelley threw a giant hissy fit at the office Monday in front of the whole staff trashing his new boss.  So the new boss wasn't the same as the old boss and fired Pelley.  This is so good.

   The Kansas Jayhawks get exactly the kind of break it takes to have a magical season as Oklahoma wins at Georgia Tech.  Tech was the top team left in the tourney and would have hosted KU with a win.  Instead, Tech is toast and OU is coming to Lawrence.  This thing just got real!

   We got a sneak preview of the new Morton Amphitheater Monday night in Riverside and you're going to love this place.  KC needed it, we deserve it and our quality of life just got a little bit better.  You almost feel like it's too nice...

   The Kansas Jayhawks, for the first time in two weeks, looked lifeless at out of it through three innings against Arkansas.  They trailed 5-0.  Then they explode for 11 unanswered runs and win 13-10 to advance to the Super Regional later this week.  We have the details on who they will play and where.

   Johnson County Community College smashed all kinds of college baseball records this year winning the National Title and finishin 67-3.  Incredible.

   The NBA Finals are set and one bettor is $1.7 million richer because the Knicks and Spurs have made it this far.

 When I reached out to my friend Stan Weber a couple weeks ago to see if he could come on the Pod to talk about the Chiefs schedule, he said, "maybe."

   Turns out, Stan was out of the country on vacation.   His first vacation.  Ever.  No joke.  

   We explain all of this as Stan is here to talk about Patrick Mahomes and how he's moving at OTA's, the Chiefs plan to get him back on the field and how they may ask him to play differently.  Oh, and we do the Chiefs chedule breakdown.  It's been worth th...

   It hit me like a load of bricks.  I love watching Trump's cabinet meetings and then heard someone else say the absolute best use of these events would be to make sure children in schools watch them to understand government and civics.  Count me in.

   In all our lives, it's never been more important for a candidate to have an endorsement than ANY Republican in a primary right now.  President Trump runs his record to 118-0 in primary endorsements for Governors, Senators and House reps as Ken Paxton just obliterates John Cornyn in Texas.  And some people yawned when Ty Masterson got Trump's endorsement for Kansas Governor?  Nobody has ever had control of an electorate like Trump does and it's spectacular.

   We begin the new week with a couple people me and my mom would like to slap (not that we would) and then move on to Trump's grand plan for Iran if they can get a deal signed.  It's something great for America and would represent a total reset of how a more peaceful world would operate.

   Kansas Senate President Ty Masterson is running for governor and just got the endorsement from President Trump.  This is a really big deal.

The state of Kansas has about a thousand issues Missouri doesn't have.  Eight years with a Dem governor will have that effect.  The state is 43rd in America in average income.  The state income tax is the highest in the region and for 2 million people it's a 3-6 hour U-Haul to zero state tax in Texas.   The population is shrinking and that's very rare for a red state.   

   Missouri is working toward zero percent income tax and the exodus of Kansas residents to Missouri would be an eastern moving tidal wave in KC.  The budget has soared over 60% f...

   Ok, there is one thing we can all agree on.  Rashee Rice is not worthy of playing for the Kansas City Chiefs.  The terrible teammate, terrible friend and terrible partner is a continuing crap show that isn't good enough to stay.  Reports, as he's in jail for 30 days, indicate he broke his probation by getting high.  Other reports try to tamp it down and say this should have been served a year ago.  Then another report that he's hurt and out for two months.  Stop.  Just stop.

Chris Stigall has done it all in conservative talk radio and podcasting and he's learned it's just not enough to talk about what's wrong.  That's why he's running for Congress, to have a chance to DO what's right.  Chris is a born and bred Missourian with deep roots in District 6 and while I don't have a vote, I can tell you his is the perfect successor to the retiring Sam Graves.

   Chris is smart, funny, loyal and conservative as all get out.  He's a Christian that sees (and knows) America would never have happened without humble faith.

After Mayor Q took to Facebook to blame property owners and business owners for the change at iconic Town Topic Burgers to not stay open 24 hours, you had to figure he'd hear from them.  And man, has he.  We have the deets.

  This is the crazy story of some very typical, ornery high school baseball players in the '80's that found crazy success playing ball.  And we had a teammate, Curt Whitaker that could sing and play guitar and we never knew it.  When he decided, "why not?," he started KC's best cover band.  The www.m80skc.com have played with Chicago, Train and others at Starlight and almost everyone that played at Knuckleheads as the totally fun 80's band.  They dress the part and it's always a fun night out.

   You wish Ryan Levebvre lived next door. You want to know him, trust me.  

   He is now the broadcaster that Baseball Hall of Famer Denny Mathews always wanted to hand it off to.  All the Royals asked him to do this year is to bring in former players into the booth and coach them up about how insanely hard this biz can be.   Ryan opens up about Rex Hudler's smaller role, the growth of Jermie Guthrie (and his popcorn crush like podboy) and Ryan's new series on the Royals You Tube channel. It starts with an emotional convo wit...

   Our theme today at KKHI is a whole bunch of messes people are cleaning up.  Hawaiian Bros is a fast food chain that originated in KC and their Royals promotion of giving away free lunch when the Royals score 6 or more was just crushing their business.  So they've changed it.  It reminds me of the historic, high scoring Chiefs of 2002 and 2003 when I started the "Custard's Last Stand" Club that featured our radio sponsors giving percentage discounts equal to the points the Chiefs scored the day before.  Get this:  We even sold brand new cars for half price.  It was chao...

 It's time to change the name of ICE to NICE and President Trump seems to be on board to cap off a busy day at the White House.  First, it was the return of the Presidential Fitness test for American kids, then Marco Rubio just crushed it filling in for White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt.  All this... and Michelle Obama has a plan for her husband that I'm all in on.
