Liberation Day in America, "Maryland Dad" Hoax, Trump/Maher Dinner, Val Kilmer Dies, Chiefs Option KS Land, R's Fall Flat, Auburn Cheerleaders go Viral

   It's Liberation Day in America as President Trump's tariffs go in effect world wide.  Unlike election day, we aren't going to see results at the end of the day.  But, we are starting to see countries step up and say they are ending their tariffs against us.  We break down what may happen with all this.
   The left has a new media hoax about a "Maryland dad" that was sent to prison in El Salvador by mistake.  This may be the biggest whopper of them all.
   Trump dines with comedian and critic Bill Maher along with Kid Rock and Dana White.  According to Rock, it was simply amazing.
   Iceman and Batman actor Val Kilmer dies at age 65.  The Chiefs have extended at least one contract to purchase land in Kansas.  The Royals bats go silent against the Brew Crew.  KU cancels its basketball banquet and the biggest story of the Final Four this week is the Auburn cheerleaders.
  For our Final Final, you need Carolina on your mind for free food at a football game.

Royals Bounce Back, Chiefs Stadium Update, Nantz Loves His Team, Trump v Obama, Musk Investigates Congress, Dems Prepped for Biden Death

   Whew, I sure feel better about the Royals after they just destroy the Milwaukee Brewers on that team's opening day.  Everyone hit, Kris Bubic really pitched and this game was exactly what the Royals think they can replicate many times this year.
   Chiefs owner Clark Hunt and President Mark Donovan gave new information about plans for new stadium while speaking with media at the NFL Meetings in Florida.  We have the finances and the timeline for you on two distinct options.
   Legendary announcer Jim Nantz is an alum and huge fan of the Houston Cougars basketball team.  He tells us why he thinks they can win it all.
   Trump's third term troll of the media takes a new turn as he talks about letting Obama run against him.  Hysterical.  Elon Musk is investigating how so many members of Congress became so wealthy.  And a new book reveals Dems were preparing for Joe Biden to die as early as 2023.

Trump Teases Third Term, Greenland Leader Upset, Susie Wiles Speaks, Steve Harvey Nails It, R's Lose Series, Woodland Sets Record, Final 4 All Chalk

   Is President Trump series or just toying with liberal media outlets?  Nobody knows for sure but he has confirmed there's a way for him to serve a third term if he wants to do it.  The hysteria over this could be pure fire.
   Leaders in Denmark and Greenland are not happy after JD Vance delivers a stemwinder about America leading the island nation.

Royals Give Away Opener, Owner Confident in New Stadium, Elite Hoops Teams Rise, Song of Week

   The Royals had the perfect setup to win on opening day when they started playing giveaway with the Cleveland Guardians.  It's only one game and we won't over react here, but we do want to look at what we saw and ask if some of these things are previews of more to come.
   Meanwhile, Mayor Q explains how he's going to have $1.4 billion for the Royals to stay in Kansas City as owner John Sherman pivots from using the term "downtown" as his preferred destination.
   The elite college teams are putting 100 or more points on the board and it's stunning to see how great they look and our Song of the Week is a new release that I really love.

KKHI Special: Season Opener-Royals Want More in 2025

   Here we go, the Royals are back at the K and talking big about last year's post season mini run being just the start.  Bobby Witt Jr is the hottest name in baseball, the starting pitching looks great, the bullpen seems fixed and KC has a leadoff hitter.
  But it's a 162 game MLB marathon and we'll hear from GM JJ Picollo on the expectations.  Then, www.dannyclinkscale.com joins us to break down the division and we'll give you our thoughts on what will unfold over the next several months.  Enjoy, Royals fans.  Baseball is back!

The Fescoe Fiasco, Mayor Q has $1 Billion, BWJ Ready to Play, Izzo Mic Drop, Exec Order Cleans Elections, MTG Eyes PBS/NPR, Stigall Hates Emojis

   The Bob Fescoe Fiasco is one of the most embarrassing sports radio messes in memory as his report the Royals were locked in on Overland Park for a new stadium got refuted almost in real time.  It was ugly in every way and Bob, who's a good guy and terrific family man, must be hurting over all of it.  Mayor Q piled on him worse than anyone and now Q says he has up to $1.4 billion for the Royals downtown.  What?  Is Mayor Q pulling a Fescoe here or is he pulling a Trump and will actually back it up and deliver for KCMO?
   Bobby Witt Jr is ready to play ball after the stress of his off season wedding, we have a fun clip.  Michigan State coach Tom Izzo has the greatest name and comments about the college basketball transfer portal.
   Trump signs a wonderful executive order to clean up our elections, MTG is holding hearings with CEO's of PBS and NPR and I can't wait.  Kristi Noem and JD Vance hit the road in opposite directions and conservative talker Chris Stigall hates emoji's in texts.  I think I will send him one!
   Our Final Final is a ballpark food item that doesn't mess around... it feeds the whole family.

   Chiefs backup Gardner Minshew has a great quote on his role with the team.
   A reporter for the Atlantic was included on a national security text chain but there was no security threat.  The better part of this story is what we learned by seeing this thread.  It's typical Trump admininstration.
   Josh Hawley wants a new law to stop circuit judges from making national rulings, Tim Walz is apologizing about Tesla stock and a woke Snow White movie is a total flop at the box office

Trump Salutes Kansas Wrestler, NCAA Tourney is Dud, Remembering Bob Davis, Tiger's New Love, Maher Blasts Dems, Liberty Mayor plays KKK Card

   The best story of the weekend occurred at the NCAA Wrestling Championships in Philadelphia as President Trump decided to stay two matches longer than planned to see "the big guy" shock with world in one of the biggest upsets ever.  The wrestler, Wyatt Hendrickson, is a Kansan in the Air Force wrestling for Oklahoma State and he and Trump seem to have quite a bond.  You have to hear this story.
   Some are calling this the worst NCAA Tourney of all time as there are no Cinderellas an no buzzer beaters.  That means all the attention is about the coaches and we've got three very different coaches stories for you.

March Sadness: KU and MU Buckle Down the Stretch, MLB Survey on BW Jr, Trump Slams Judge, Song of Week

   It's hard to imagine it could have gone worse for KU and MU in the NCAA tournament as they both lose Thursday night.  Both fell behind double digits, both roared back and had a chance to win and both buckled under pressure.  They lost in different, but equally awful ways. 
   A survey of Major League players is surprising what they have to say about Bobby Witt Jr.
   Patrick Mahomes has an awesome message for DeAndre Hopkins.
