Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   It's a topic I'd rather not get into but Pope Leo has forced the hand of this podcaster.  Our whole lives, politicians and the Pope stayed in their respective lanes and didn't cross over and tell each other how to do their jobs.  Pope Leo has changed that as it appears he's an American Liberal before he is the Pope of the Catholic Church.  President Trump has always been a counter puncher and t...

   Mayor Q says the only thing left is a "Chiefs-esque" news conference announcing a new Royals ballpark at Crown Center.  Despite a whole bunch of angry people showing up in opposition, the $600 million from KCMO is about to fly through to approval. The Royals team president was in attendance for the council meeting Tuesday and he calls this a "great project" that will pass.  It's very close to a...

    There are two meetings today to move forward on the Royals building a new stadium at Crown Center and we are getting a lot more details of what that district will look like by 2030.  The Parks and Rec board will vote to give the city manager authority to negotiate a lease with the team while the City Council meets to set up a schedule to move forward to approval of $600 million.  It's feeling...

   Vice President Vance walked away from talks with leaders from Iran after 21 hours and the sticking point is a big one.  Iran's new leaders won't sign an agreement preventing them from making nuclear weapons.  That leads to the next step.... the U.S. will block all Iranian ports and cut off all their revenue beginning Monday morning.    Pop some corn, it's fun watching democrats tear apart the c...

   Mayor Quintin Lucas says Kansas City has $600 million to build the Royals a new stadium at Crown Center and couldn't wait to share the news.  But he did wait until after he won an earnings tax vote on Tuesday.  This is politics and its best or worst depending on how you look at it.  Now, the governor is on the clock.  Jeff City offered the Chiefs and/or Royals 50% of a new stadium if a city or...

   What's that you say?  FIFA, the organization that runs the World Cup, is pulling a bait and switch with fans that have tickets to matches at Arrowhead Stadium this summer?  Look, they're like a stereotypical rock star.  We'd be disappointed if they didn't create a bunch of problems.    The most hilarious story of the year is unfolding in KC as the Star reports Mayor Q's staff had a years long a...

   A two week ceasefire is on with Iran as long as there is a complete, safe opening for the flow of oil out of the Persian Gulf.  This may work, this may not but President Trump says almost all USA demands have been met as they try to finalize an agreement.  If not, well, the US gets two weeks to re-supply and start pounding again.    KC residents love paying tax as over 75% vote yes to keep payi...

   It's election day in Missouri and the earnings tax in KCMO is in focus and maybe that's appropriate after a new Wall Street Journal piece on spending in KC.  $650 million are being spent for the World Cup to play a handful of matches at Arrowhead.  And we are now getting our first reports that not nearly as many people are coming as thought.  Who could have guessed?   The Royals beat Cleveland...

   We cannot take all these stellar military operations for granted and the latest is just as crazy and brilliant and perfect as it gets.  Some 200 service members worked an unbelievable plan of deception hundreds of miles inside Iran to get the missing American weapons officer that was shot down with the pilot.  This was risky, could have backfired in a huge way but is a prime example of American...

   The Royals were embarrassed enough by a stupid looking loss to the Twins on Thursday that wasted a stellar performance from starting pitcher Cole Ragans.  Then, they had to go into the locker room and talk about starting catching Carter Jensen missing the game because he overslept.  This is one of the most embarrassing things I've seen and this is a key player.  Vinnie P didn't hold back.... th...

   Bill Self announces he's coming back for at least one year and most Kansas fans are thrilled.  It's also a boost in the recruitment of the top player in America.  We are pretty sure the family and doctors are ok with this so why not everyone else?  This got complicated with the succession plan but they've at the very least bought some time to figure it all out.    President Trump says operation...

   In another first, President Trump is about to be the first Commander in Chief to ever sit inside the Supreme Court to hear oral arguments.  Trump will be there today as the court considers whether it's legal for illegal aliens to have babies in the USA and they are automatically citizens.  Pop some corn, this will be something.    While lower judges are cancelling everything Trump does, he sign...

   There's nothing quite like opening day in a Major League Baseball city and Monday's opener was one for the ages.  There were parties, celebrity sighting, a touching moment of silence, and awesome flyover and a Royals win.  There was also news made when owner John Sherman told www.kcmotalkradio.com he's still talking to Kansas and NKC about a new stadium.  We have all of it for you.    On the fi...

   The Royals played a terrific game and bailed out the organization's leadership team after two absolutely awful pre-determined roster roles before spring training even started.  The good news, I double we will see Charlie Sheen attempt to close another game in Royals blue.  Now it's opening day and the Royals are big faves against the Twins... Let's go!    Topeka native Gary Woodland could be th...

  You will have to wait until the back end because it's no lead story, but ESPN star Stephen A. Smith finally took the bait from new conservative Christian Jason Whitlock.  The host of a Blaze podcast has a long history of ruining everything in his wake but appears to have figured it all out and Stephen A isn't buying it.  I want to believe in JW so badly, but as we could be on the same page after...

   It's not always comfortable reading some of President Trump's posts on social media or hearing some of the things he says.  But it's important to try to figure out where he's coming from on most of these things as we seem to have forgotten what democrats have done to this man.  A local radio host, Dana Wright, is now an unhinged Karen and we'll ask the question she can't seem to ask herself......

   For the near future, KU hoops are in limbo waiting to find out what legendary coach Bill Self is going to do.  If you're not in the camp that believes Jacque Vaughn is here to take the job as a given, well, things just got even murkier for KU as North Carolina parts with Hubert Davis and has an immediate opening.   In an incredible admission, Royals GM JJ Picollo says not too long ago, Royals e...

   Even MSNow hosts are seeing through Chuck Schumer and other dems that just can never, ever admit President Trump does good things.  Morning Joe got right up in Chuck's grill and set the record straight for him.    Election reform is in focus in many different ways right now and none of them seem to be doing anything but crawling slowly toward tiny gains.    The Royals are in Texas for a little...

   The Kansas Jayhawks were consistently inconsistent all season long and they were the same in a wild game against St. John's in the round of 32.  This game was ugly, painful to watch and it appeared KU would die without a fight.  Until they punched back in wild fashion the last 6:00 min only to be denied at the buzzer.  Now what for KU?    There were some other wild moments including Nebraska's...

   The Kansas Jayhawks coasted home after building a 26 point lead in their opening game of the NCAA tournament.  It gets tougher from here.  Meanwhile, Mizzou was Mizzou storming back to take a lead with less than 8:00 to play against Miami... and then falling apart.  Is Dennis Gates the long term coach for the Tigers?    Faves went 16-0 on Friday.  Has paying players and unlimited transferring k...

   Did you know Kansas is ground zero for an underground nuclear test?  It's not the kind you might think of with explosions and all that, no, this is about a new age of nuclear power generated a mile below the surface.    As TSA has staffing shortages, Senator Ron Johnson is calling for the agency to be privatized along with Air Traffic Control.  The post office is broke, maybe we should look at...

   It looks like you could say President Trump has made Venezuela great again as Salvador Perez and his teammates win their first every World Baseball Classic for their home country.  It was a great tournament with a ton of twists and turns and it may just offer up a chance for our president to draw us even closer to Venezuela.  Oh, and Salvy is on KC's Mount Rushmore of sports without a doubt.  ...

    At first reaction you probably thought, "what in the world do the Chiefs want with Justin Fields as backup quarterback?"   Then, as we start thinking about changes to the offense, something becomes pretty clear.  But I'll take it to another level.  What if Andy is going all mad scientist on us and is about to do something no coach has done before?    We had a wild off road experience in the So...

   Golf season is in full swing with the Masters just around the corner.  Today, you'll hear the story of a young Missouri golfer from the KC area that already has her ticket punched to Augusta National as one of only a select few to qualify for the Drive, Chip and Putt competition.   Bryan Minnis is the founder of Maxim Golf and he and his team at Tiffany Greens are doing something to help out 12...

   What if I told you a small town Kansas boy became an all state running back and then walked on at Kansas State as a.... punter?   What if I told you he wound up becoming an All Big 12 performer while all through college was playing his guitar but kind of afraid to sing in front of anyone?  It's true.  Then Nick Walsh had a pro day in front of the Chiefs and a few other NFL teams and while runni...
