Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

GOP Blinks, Elon's $1 Trillion, Brennan in Focus, Chiefs to KS Builds Steam, Royals Eye NKC, Broncos Win Ugly, Lee Sterling Picks, Song of Week

   Almost 40 days into the government shutdown and the predictable seems to be playing out, the GOP is extending an olive branch and tasty goodies for the Dems to re-open.  This is pathetic.
   Former CIA Director John Brennan could be in serious trouble as the DOJ is starting to issue subpoenas for a grand jury.
   The Chiefs have a wandering eye so strong that requests for proposals are out for architects and builders and  a new stadium in KCK according to a report from Pete Mundo at KCMO Talk Radio.
   Meanwhile, the Royals have surveyed their fans and the results trickling out are hilarious.
   The  Broncos are the best defense, and the ugliest team in all of football.  They also now have the league's best record.
   Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com is here with the pigskin picks and our song of the week is about the new communist New York City.

Election Over Reaction, NYC Electorate Scam, Kobach Charges Mayor, CBS Ratings Sizzle, Chiefs Still Faves, Meet Paul Gallant

   The Kansas City Star headline boasts "Nation Hit by Blue Wave."  What a joke.  These were the most lame elections ever and anyone trying to make anything of these is like a sports fan declaring the Chiefs are bad because they lost a preseason game.  What a sham.
   You won't believe the composition of the electorate in NY City.  If there is one alarming thing from Tuesday... this is it.
   Kansas AG Kris Kobach has charged the mayor of Coldwater, Kansas for committing election fraud.  CBS ratings sizzle for the Chiefs/Bills and 60 Minutes with Donald Trump.  The sky isn't falling, Vegas still loves the Chiefs.
  And then we have a great conversation with a young sports radio host that is moving more and more toward politics.  His name is Paul Gallant and he was wrongly called a whacky liberal by Tucker Carlson.  Paul is the host of the "Gallant Says" podcast on You Tube and all other pod platforms, and while he hasn't jumped into the deep end of conservative talk just yet, maybe we can provide him with an outlet right here at KKHI.

KS Map Hits Snag, Trump Freezing SNAP, Pocahontas Needs a King, Target Stores Tank, Salvy 2 More Years, Chiefs Whiff on Trade, Ladies Soccer Controversy, A Beefy Thanksgiving

   The new map in Kansas to take away a dem seat in congress has hit a snag and will be delayed until at least next year even as California passes a law that swings 5 red seats to blue.
    President Trump says he's just freezing all SNAP payments until the Democrats re-open the government.  I voted for this.  The program has bloated from 17 million recipients to 42 million since Trump was last president.  It needs a total overhaul.
   Target stores are laying off 1800 workers and it has nothing to do with the economy.  Walmart and Costco are booming but Target played a nasty political game for too long and the have learned the meaning of FAFO.
   Salvy is back with the Royals for two more years.  The Chiefs totally whiff on trading for runningback Breece Hall.  Women's soccer has quite a controversy taking place and it may be centered in KC.  LIV Golf is expanding and our Final Final is the strangest Thanksgiving invitation ever.

Cheney's Death a Reminder, Bernie Sees End of Dems, Shapiro Hammers Tucker, Simmons Back with KC, KU's Michael Jordan, Royals Survey Signals End

      Former Vice President Dick Cheney has died at the age of 84.  Yes, he loved America and yes, he loved war.  And yes, this podcast host once upon a time believed in what he was selling us.  But mostly, his death is a reminder of what we used to be forced to vote for.  As VP, Dems hated him almost as much as they do Trump.  In death, they will remember him as a great steward of the neo con deep state.
    Bernie Sanders appears on a podcast and pretty much predicts the Democrat party is over and will splinter into two parties.   Ben Shapiro, on his podcast, hammers Tucker Carlson... we'll play a clip.
   Former Senator Joe Manchin gives the clearest statement yet on why Dems are in trouble while a crazy dem in Montana running for office leaves the most vile voicemail you've ever heard for Montana Senatory Tim Sheahy.
    Left Tackle Josh Simmons is back with the Chiefs.   I"m going there.... new KU star Darryn Peterson looks a lot like Michael Jordan.
   And the Royals are sending a survey out to the fans about a new ballpark and that can only mean one thing.

Trump Uses Chiefs Game for Pitch, Bills Too Good for KC, CFB Recap, World Series Dazzles, Stan on Chiefs/NFL

   It's all here today as President Trump unloads a barrage of policy goals during an epic 60 Minutes interview right after the Chiefs/Bills game.  This appearance was no accident and it's yet another sign the new ownership at CBS is going to play things fair.
   On the field, the Bills played what I believe is the best game they have played in the Josh Allen era.  Ever.  And still, somehow, the Chiefs had a chance to pull it out.  Amazing.
   K-State gets worked over in a similar fashion against Tech and it sets up a big week for Patrick Mahomes at his Alma Mater.  KU rolls OSU and Mizzou preps for A and M.
   The World Series was, perhaps, the greatest ever and it was definitely the best game 7 I've ever seen.  And Stan Weber his here to talk about the Chiefs playoff chances (spoiler: he's not worried) and we ask if the Broncos are a dirty team.
   Our Final Final is a chance for you to score a little Christmas cash.

Is Something Big Going On?, Trump Wants Filibuster End, Education Plugs Along, MU Coach Slams USA, Point Spread PIcks, Song Returns

   There's something very strange happening with members of Trump's cabinet that if we read it in a history book about the Lincoln administration we would have thought it was the scariest of times.  Is something big going on?  We take a look at a series of things that point to something historic.
   Meanwhile, President Trump has decided he wants to go nuclear option and end the filibuster.  Its something nobody has really wanted to happen but he gives a really solid reason.
   The teachers unions have been going nuts over the shutdown and for good reason.  It's not their funding, that just plugs along.  It's something else and its huge.
  Mizzou basketball coach Dennis Gates is asked about playing Howard University and a scholarship both schools have from a former reporter in KC and in the process seems to let  it out of the bag he has TDS.
   Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com has his biggest plays of the year this weekend as we discuss the Chiefs/Bills and KSU and KU games.
   And our Final Final is a return of the Song of Week suggested by a listener.

China Deal is Done, Vance Wows Ole Miss, CBS News Bloodbath, Jays Take WS Lead, Chiefs/Bills Preview, CFB Turnaround, WWI Message in Bottle

   While we slept, President Trump had completed a shorter meeting than planned with President XI of China and has a deal in hand.   Soy bean farmers are rejoicing and it may include oil from Alaska.  Trump calls it a "12" on a scale of 0-10.  Details are still emerging but we share what we know.
  JD Vance was at a Turning Point event at Ole Miss and just dazzled the crowd of over 10,000 Wednesday night.  CBS News is undergoing massive changes and is reportedly saying goodbye to its "race and culture" unit as part of a big reduction in workforce.
   In sports, the Blue Jays take a 3-2 lead in the World Series.   Stan joins us to previews the Chiefs/Bills big game on Sunday.  We also chat about the turns in the season for KSU, MU and KU.  
  Then, a message in a bottle story from down under that dates back to World War I.

Ballroom Blitz, Dem Pride Fades Daily, Changes w/ICE, Trump Wins More Deals, Big Chiefs Stat, Colts Owner Changes the Game, Jays Tie Series

   With all the democrat fixation on the Trump Ballroom being built, one democrat stands out above them all and is calling for something so crazy.... we hope it actually happens.  The Ballroom Blitz appears doomed to backfire.  
   At the same time, pride in America for democrat voters is at a 25 year low.  Sounds like a win to me.
   Changes in some of our biggest cities are happening at the top of ICE.  We have the deets on how the Border Patrol will now influence a change in procedure for mass deportations and Phase 2.
   Trump scores more deals in Asia as he gets ready to meet with Xi of China.
   The Chiefs have one stat this year that stands out above all others.  A new defensive tackle signed by KC is very familiar to all of us.   The Colts new female owner is changing the game on how to run a team... and she's got the top team in the AFC all of the sudden.   KU's Darryn Peterson sits  in an exhibition win, Toronto ties the World Series at two games a piece and our Final Final is a numbers game.

Chiefs Too Much for Commanders, Next 3 games Set the Playoffs, Stadium Chatter Annoys, CFB recap, Oh My Ohtani, KU Freshman Dazzles

   The Chiefs kicked aside some early sloppiness to blast the Washington Commanders with a dazzling second half performance that was near perfection.   The Chiefs ran it, Mahomes threw it and everybody got in on the action.  A pair of defenders go their first career interceptions putting away a struggling team that brought all they had.  KC is still in 3rd place in the AFC West but it's not a stretch to say the next three game (@Bills, @Denver, Colts) will determine the one seed in conference.
   The governor of Kansas and the owner of the Chiefs both talked about stadium issues on Monday and it feels like nothing has gone anywhere.  Could somebody please do a deal and make a decision?
   We'll revisit K-State's big win over KU Saturday and Mizzou resetting its season as a lot has changed in a short period of time.
   Monday night's game 3 of the World Series was a 6 hour and 39 minute marathon that saw the Dodgers win in historic fashion in the 18th inning.   And wait until you hear what Shohei Ohtani did, the most incredible stat ever.
   KU basketball has a rising star you need to know about and our Final Final updates you on the jewelry heist in Paris last week.

Chiefs Look to Keep Rolling against Washington

   Everybody believes it's going to be easy work for the Chiefs Monday night against the team that should still be called the Redskins but let's not forget Washington was in the NFC title game last year.
   Starting QB Jayden Daniels is out but Stan Weber tells us that for a game or two, there won't be much difference with Marcus Mariota under center.  We'll break down the matchup and ask the question if Washington coach Dan Quinn disrespects the game looking silly wearing his hat backwards.
