Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

   The Ralph Yarl case is awful and complicated all at once.  Nobody won here and there is no great outcome for either of the two people involved.  But piling on a frail, seemingly confused 84 year old man exposes the worst of us.  The new details around Andrew Lester's plea are just despicable.    I've got two audio clips to play for you from national figures that have been in the news a lot over...

   Mayor Q has been everywhere this week exploiting the terrible story of an 84 year old man shooting a 16 year old kid.  But, why not? This is his game, he's great at it and he won't stop until he gets to the White House.    KC public radio affiliate KCUR is the latest to drop Twitter.  It's pretty obvious NPR is asking all its affiliates to do this and they will comply.  You've no doubt heard th...

   There is no question 16 year old Ralph Yarl did not have any bad intentions when he mistakenly went to the wrong door last week but the case is much more complicated than what's being presented.  It's more than plausible that an 84 year old man that was asleep that night was truly scared and in fact called the police himself.  We simply have to get to a point where we stop jumping to racist con...

   Trump insiders have leaked information to www.dailycaller.com about his strategy to potentially pick a running mate and it's no secret he wants a conservative woman.  We'll break down the odds of those women and the only white man that could be factoring in at this point, Josh Hawley.    A surgeon is unemployed after getting sick 7 days after taking the Moderna jab two years ago and was forced...

   In the short term, there are no winners in the massive leak of classified military information a low level I.T. dude working in Cape Cod and living with his mom released to his war game buddies.  He's a criminal, plain and simple, even if this winds up saving millions of lives.  That wasn't his motive, he was just boasting.  But there's no painting him as some sort of a spy either.  Folks on th...

   A young government employee that spends his time in an online gaming group with 25 other men and boys has taken 300 photos of incredibly sensitive secret documents and shared them with his group.  Now millions have seen them and it's completely embarrassing.  This man is in real trouble, but so is our military and intel as this was all very predictable.  Just like everything under this administ...

   The lady that thought Bud Light's image was too "fratty" with "out of touch" humor is somehow still employed and a whole bunch of fratty white dudes don't like it.  In fact, now they've found pictures of her (you can't make this up) at frat parties doing outrageous things with beer and condoms.  Uh oh.    We love www.tonyskansascity.com especially when he starts dropping truth bombs nobody else...

   Ryan Lefebvre is back for the 2023 baseball season and will join us from time to time to talk about the Royals, Major League Baseball, broadcasting and, well, anything else he wants.       You know Ryan as the voice and face of the Royals broadcast team and we all know him as a great Kansas Citian with a giant heart.  He's as sincere as they get and we know you'll enjoy his thoughts on the star...

   In a story not getting much play, Marco Rubio and 7 others in the "Gang of Eight" will get to see the classified documents Joe Biden, Donald Trump and Mike Pence had in their possession.  We discuss if this can possibly be legit or if what will be provided will be slanted against Trump.    Congresswoman Sharice Davids has angered Christians after sending out a mass email on Easter Weekend.  We'...

   2023 Masters Champion Jon Rahm predicted he'd win the tournament when he tweeted it as a teenager ten years ago.  Rahm was incredible and it's clear he just fulfilled his childhood dream.    The VP at Bud Light responsible for all the backlash after sponsoring a trans influencer is a hard lefty.... and she did an interview a few weeks ago that is just mind boggling.   This story is corporate ma...

   Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gains is a true American hero and may be the most important conservative in America you don't know much about.  This brave young woman was attacked by a trans mob in San Francisco and was punched several times by "a man in a dress" before police got her to safety, locked in a room for three hours.    She's on the side of almost all women and she will not stand down.  T...

   The super majority for the GOP comes through in Kansas again, frustrating one Dem on the floor in Topeka to scream and curse at them.  This is an override of the Governor's veto of a women's rights bill protecting their equal rights.  Most call it an anti Trans bill.... that is most certainly not what this is.  It needs to be re-shaped honestly.    Bud Light beer is in a firestorm that just get...

   Yes, we're dropping names on this episode.  Bill Self had a news conference to calm the fears of KU fans wondering if he was in it for the long haul after a heart procedure kept him out of the public eye for about a month.    And my good friend, 35 time PGA Tour winner Jim Colbert joins us.   This is an honest, deep conversation about the PGA Tour and the future of golf, whether he would have t...

   It's true, the 34 charges against President Trump actually lack a crime.  It says they amount to a crime, but no crime in listed by DA Alvin Bragg.  So everyone knows this is simply the biggest election interference scam in American history and nothing more... but what does it actually mean for an election so far away.  We try to answer that as a German politician sums it up better than any Ame...

   It was a wild day Monday for KU basketball fans on social media as it was announced Bill Self would hold a news conference but it almost appeared as if it could be a retirement announcement.  Then a story out of Florida reported the coach and his wife just bought a $7.6 million beach townhome.  Oh, it got goofy.  Then they put out another release to calm things down.  Still, there are a lot of...

   As president Trump heads to NY for his legal proceedings, word is out that he wants a "perp walk."  There can be only one reason he wants this.... he's about to choreograph a show that makes him look strong and iconic and the DA small and petty.  This could be interesting when you think about it as both sides want a perp walk.      Marjorie Taylor Greene was featured on 60 Minutes this week and...

   Nothing wipes the smile off your face like the start of another Royals season but they may actually be outdoing themselves this time.  0-3.  Sweep.  Desperation just days into the season and it doesn't get much worse than this.      Then, we spent some time chatting with Chris Stigall this past week talking about what the start of the baseball season means to our family, a new rule that Patrick...

   Donald Trump has been indicted in Manhattan as America now fits nicely in with countries like Venezuela, Ukraine, North Korea, Russia and the old Soviet Union.  Political prosecution is the hallmark of any great socialist, marxist or communist regime.  And after 250 years... we have joined the rest of the world.    Nancy Pelosi's words were absolutely the most important of the day as she has sa...

   There's nothing in sports like opening day for baseball and this year, all 30 Major League teams start on the same day.  Every fan has hope, the weather is getting better and we basically just get a bounce in our step.  We have what you need to know about the Royals.    A local tv report indicates Amazon is seriously looking to buy AMC theaters in KC.  We have the details of what Amazon may wan...

   The bravery of the police officers that took out the deranged school shooter Monday in Nashville is in plain view with bodycam video being released.  Truly remarkable.  Now we are learning what the Headmaster of the school and a 9 year old little girl did to help others that cost them their lives.    On the eve of the Royals season opener, Patrick Mahomes is making national news with a tweet wi...

   We have a huge problem with school shooters, period.  But now the LGBTQ+ community seems to be stoking hatred toward the majority of Americans and we've got a trend of non-binary and trans shooters.  Nashville becomes the fourth in recent years.  We have to be able to call out and identify mental health problems when we see it but the left won't allow it.    At the same time, a far left profess...

   Kansas State had a 7 point lead with just a few minutes to play but couldn't get to the Final Four as the fall to upstart Florida Atlantic.  It ended with a similar hollow feeling KU fans had a week earlier.    Donald Trump spoke with reporters on his plane this weekend and made a surprising comment about the New York DA's case to indict him.    Unrest in Israel as Bibi Netanyahu is making refo...

   It's a weekend edition as the Elite 8 is set and the Miami Hurricanes have blown into KC with a great story... from their hotel.      Then, as a guest on www.chrisstigall.com radio show, we talk about sports teams sharing their faith publicly and the idea of a new category of competition for trans athletes only.  

   K-State point guard Markquis Nowell is shattering records and powering his Wildcats to the Elite Eight.  In a stunning, record setting performance with 19 assists, Nowell is passing the basketball like Patrick Mahomes passes a football.  This is something we've never, ever seen in this tournament.    Michigan State couldn't have played better but HOF coach Tom Izzo says they didn't play their b...

   Kansas City fancies itself America's best college basketball town but we learn once again, nothing is further from the truth.  With KU out of the Sweet 16, you can get into the games here Friday night for a song.  In New York and Vegas, the cheapest ticket to a game is TEN TIMES the price in KC.  This is embarrassing.  Will Kansas Citians shun World Cup tickets the same way if team USA isn't he...
