Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

 Three months ago, nobody knew the name and folks were dismissing another outsider with deep pockets as a guy on a vanity run for governor.  Then, in Iowa, the Trump endorsed candidate lost to the CEO candidate.  Same in Georgia.  And Oklahoma is headed that way.  Suddenly, Philip Sarnecki in Kansas had a lane and momentum and maybe, just maybe, we conservatives like the idea of Trump more than a...

   The SAVE America Act is now on everyone's mind and it's getting worse for Senate leader John Thune.  Thursday in South Dakota, Thune's home state, he hosted a ticketed event for the state's GOP Fundraising.  Conservative activist Scott Presler, the man who worked tirelessly to fix Pennsylvania for President Trump, was denied entrance.  Presler even had a ticket.  You gotta hear the lengths Thun...

   Authorities have finally found the crazy dude that shot up a bunch of cars on I-70 the first night of the World Cup in KC.  He's dead and apparantly was dead in a house they previously combed over.  But it gets worse.  It seems at least one police department wasn't interested in looking for him BEFORE the shootings as they were too busy working World Cup events.   Senator John Thune has ordered...

The NFL sent a letter to gambling quarterback Brendan Sorsby letting him know there would be no NFL Supplemental Draft this year and they wished him the best for his future.  It may be the first time anybody has stood up to the talented player and it's likely the best thing for him.  There was no way the NFL wanted this off season saga.  Good for them.    Meanwhile, the NCAA votes to change the ru...

   Josh Hawley just will not stop misleading voters about this SF Giants Pride Night story.  Hawley got a letter back from MLB commish Rob Manfred and immediately fibbed with a post about what the letter says.  It's unreal he's doing this.  Hawley was wrong, this was not an MLB issue.  It was a Giants issue and I'd be thrilled if he went on the attack and found out what the Giants did.  But baseba...

   A couple months ago when UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer wouldn't allow the United States to access England's military bases while attacking Iran, President Trump said Starmer is "not exactly Winston Churchill," and the trap was set.  Fast forward a couple months and Trump gets yet another win as Starmer has announced he's resigning after his Labour Party is just getting crushed at the polls.  ...

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 fu...

   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 outsi...

   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...

   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 ineligibl...

   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 f...

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.    Mayor Q was on Pete Mundo's radio show and spit out a whole bunch of truth's about the Royals new...

   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 th...

   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...

   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, Pa...

   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 s...

 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 cap...

   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...

   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 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...

   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 win...

 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 ho...

   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.     ICE "protests" get chippy in New Jersey as Dems have started their summer plan to invoke some violence in hopes of influencing elections in thei...

   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...

   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 Tr...
