Kevin Kietzman Has Issues

Two Pack Jac, Sophie's Sweet Choice, Game 7 Set, Pitcher Hurt in Dugout, Dodgers Blast CBP, Michelle Blasts Barack, Song of Week

   Jac Caglianone gets his first big league home run on a pitch so high its impossible to see how he got it out.  Then, he pured one for a second home run and may still be searching for the ball.  The Royals get a sweep and suddenly seem back in the middle of things.  Crazy.
   Sophie Cunningham became the second biggest star in the WNBA this week as her jersey is now sold out and she's got about a million new followers on social.  Her game plan is a good one and you're going to be seeing a lot of her.  A lot.
   Game 7 is set in the NBA Finals for Sunday night, the first in a decade.  The Dodgers are total frauds attacking Customs and Border Patrol with a social media hoax.
  Michelle Obama blasts Barack without knowing it.  The former prez, meanwhile, wants the government to regulate free speech.  How communist of him.  And our Song of the Week could possibly be a repeat but I don't care.

KK's Mafia Story, Pundit Compares U.S. to Iran, White Ladies' OJ Reax, KC Plane Passenger Freaks Out, New Royals Plan, Kelce at Camp, Sophie Goes Viral

   It sounds crazy but true... I thought I was in a movie scene yesterday and have a mafia story to share with you.  Who knew?
  A network pundit says American blacks, women and gays have it just as bad as Iranians.  Oh, brother.
  The white ladies OJ trial has ended and  these Karens happy!  Their blacked out, drunk driving hero is found not guilty of killing her boyfriend with her car.  Let's celebrate!
   Our crazy lady them continues as a wild one headed to KC on a Southwest flight freaked out and gets arrested.
   The Ollie Gates family has an idea for the Royals to build a new stadium and a "Royal Tower" at I-70 and the Paseo.
   The Chiefs get sued, Travis Kelce is the talk of OTA's, Mizzou's Sophie Cunningham is becoming a big star, the Lakers sell for $10 billion and the College World Series final is set.
  Our final final is one expensive breakfast at Disneyland.

U.S. and Iran Hold Off, Huckabee Pens Gem, Real Wages Up, Worst Run City Named, Salvy Powers R's, Caitlin Clark Abused Again, Chris Jones Gives Advice, PGA Tour New CEO, NBA Ratings Tank

   It's too early for any final judgement but cooler heads seem to be prevailing right now between the United States and Iran.  But it doesn't seem like it will stay that way.  It feels like Trump is waiting to see if Iran will fire first.
   While Tucker Carlson is brawling with Ted Cruz, the best voice from the sidelines in all this belongs to Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee.  He sent a brilliant note to the president, in private.  Trump made it public and it's historic and gorgeous.
   Scott Bessent announces real wages are up more than they have been in 60 years, Wallet Hub names the best and worst run cities.
  In sports, Salvy scores another Royals franchise record in a win over the Rangers, Caitlin Clark just gets abused again on the court and the WNBA seems uninterested in stopping all the bullying.  Chris Jones of the Chiefs gives advice about getting advice in the most Chris Jones way ever.  The PGA Tour has a new CEO that comes from the NFL and the ratings for the NBA Finals are in the tank.

It's Trump's World Now, MN Cops Missed Killer, Airplane on Roof in JOCO, CWS No-Hitter, CFB Dad Brags, Sportscenter to KC, One Crabby Game

   Donald Trump may not be a king to Americans but he must feel like king of the world.  After flying to Canada and announcing a new tariff deal with the UK, blasting the leader of France as an attention seeker and then announcing he's leaving the G7 Summit early... Trump created chaos in Iran by posting on Truth Social that citizens in Tehran need to flee the city immediately.  This is pure Trump and it's obvious we're all just living in his world.
   Minnesota officials detail the story of how two police officers had a chance to stop the political assassin but blew it, this is so sad.
   An airplane crashes into a hangar at the Johnson County airport  but miraculously bounces once and stays on the roof and nobody was seriously hurt.
   The College World Series had a wildly historic moment Monday as Arkansas pitcher Gage Woods tosses an incredible 19 strikeout no-hitter.  A college football dad brags about his son and I don't believe him.  Sportscenter is doing 50 states in 50 days and they are coming to KC... I'll tell you where.
   And a baseball game gets really crabby in Virginia.

Royals Circling the Drain, Spaun's Bomb Wins Open, NKC for Ballpark, KU AD Backs Hoops, No Kings Day Deadly, Pope Leo on Jumbotron

   The Royals just lost a homestand.  Every game.  All very similar as the bats are so silent you can hear yourself breath inside Kauffman Stadium.  Is this the end of the 2025 season?  Should the Royals be thinking about trading away players to build a better team down the road?  Well, somehow they are still only 3 games back of a playoff spot so we think they'll be hanging on a few more weeks.  But, man, its ugly.
   The US Open Golf Championship at Oakmont in Pennsylvania was a hot mess from start to finish but what a little known journeyman named JJ Spaun did on the 72nd hole is the stuff of legend.
   A guest columnist pens a nice piece in support of NKC being the best location for a new Royals Stadium.  KU Athletic Director Travis Goff says KU will spend more of it's salary cap money for Bill Self's basketball team than almost any other school.
   Army 250 and No Kings Day made headlines this weekend.  One was a celebration of American Greatness, the other a collection of misfits bitching about Trump being a King.  And No Kings Day was plenty peaceful in KC but deadly in Utah and Minnesota.
   Pope Leo appeared on the Jumbotron at White Sox park for a special mass this weekend.  Rand Paul may be on board with the Big Beautiful Bill and Fenway Park workers may go on strike.

No Kings in KC, R's at Crossroad, US Open Good Start, Father's Day Tribute, Mizzou Football Builds House, Song of Week

   Iran was hit hard by Israeli forces after their 60 day deadline to work out a no nukes deal expired.  It sounds like it was directed by the US.
   The Royals lose 1-0 to the Yankees and finish 0-6 against the bombers this year... this team is at a crossroad as the A's arrive for a weekend series that feels really important.
   The US Open was better than expected as several players were able to handle the tough conditions at Oakmont Country Club, the biggest names from LIV Golf.
   A local businessman I know has a fabulous tribute to his dad every Father's Day weekend, we'll share it with you.  Daniel Henks joins us to share the story of the Mizzou football team building a house on their mission trip with www.wonbyonetojamaica.org. 
   And our Song of the Week is perfect for a world on fire.

R's Game w/Guy Benson, Clark Hunt Confusing Words, Jax Co Stadium Vote Next Year, Tensions Grow in Middle East, Bessent Champions Bill, AMC Theaters Decision

   When Jessica goes to a Royals game, you just expect them to lose.  And the non-competitive Royals held to form against the Yankees Wednesday night was we enjoyed the game with Guy Benson from Fox News and Pete Mundo from KCMO Talk Radio.  I'll share a couple stories.
   The Missouri House passes the senate bill to support new facilities for the Chiefs and Royals.  It leads to Clark Hunt putting out one of the strangest statements you've ever heard.
   Now Missouri lawmakers are imploring Jackson County to put up a vote for an additional tax.  One leader in Jackson County says it won't happen this year.  What?  And other members in Jeff City say they've done their job and want the teams to decide by the same June 30 deadline the teams put on the state of Missouri.
   Tensions are growing with Iran and Trump addresses it.  A 787 Dreamliner taking off in India heading for London crashes after take off and the initial reactions from most experts is this was no accident.
   Scott Bessent is stumping for the Big Beautiful Bill, Joe Rogan says a couple former Presidents came after him during Covid and AMC Theaters is making a move to help boost the bottom line.

KC White Lib Protest, 197 Arrests in LA, Apple Tracks Looters, GM Mexico to KC, Yanks Blast R's, Rodgers Wears Ring, Bryson at US Open, Biles Apology

   Fewer than 200 people gathered in KC to protest ICE and it was a comical group.  A whole bunch of white people with wrinkled clothes, ratty hair and bad signs complaining about the laws of our land is less than inspirational.  And they went home way before dark.  These are not ICE rallies, these are just the same people that don't like America or Donald Trump.
   LA mayor Karen Bass implemented a curfew last night and it was ignored.  Political rioters and looters took to the streets and LAPD says 197 people were arrested.  And those who broke in to the Apple store had a rude awakening.  Apple tracked those who stole products, turned the info over to authorities and disabled the devices. Hysterical.  Steal shoes next time!
   GM is spending $4 billion to move production from Mexico to the US and KC is getting a great boost at the Fairfax plant.
  The Yanks blast the Royals and Manager Q pulls another head scratcher.  Aaron Rodgers reports to Steelers camp with a wedding ring and starts a bromance with former KSU quarterback Will Howard.  Bryson DeChambeau and the heavy rough are the big stories at the US Open and Simone Biles has apologized to Riley Gaines.

Newsom Also Uses Nat Guard, Chaos to go Nationwide, Mo Senator Slams Royals, Yankees in Town, CWS Coach Cuts Grass, US Open is Joke, Taco Shells Coming Back

   It didn't take long for Gavin Newsom videos to surface that really destroy his current narrative and none are worse than a pair of social media posts he made.  Yep, Gavin loves the camera and twice before he has bragged about deploying the National Guard in California.  You have to hear this.
   If the communists and anarchists have their way, Saturday will be a nationwide day of defiance being organized as something called Rise Up. Why Saturday?  There's three big reasons and we explain.
   A Missouri state senator wants to name the St. Louis Cardinals the official pro baseball team of Missouri.  It's curious for a lot of reasons but he also wants to classify the Royals as something less.
   The Yankees are in town and the K will be rocking.  We share a couple ideas the Chiefs could be considering if they stay at Arrowhead.  A coach at the College World Series is more than a coach.  The rough at the US Open and what the USGA does with this tourney every year takes away from the greatness of the players.  
   And our favorite local taco shells are coming back to shelves.  We'll tell you which big food company bought a local gem in Gladstone.
 

LA Riots Inevitable, ABC Reporter Suspended for TDS, KS Flush w/Cash, Broncos Eye $5.3B Stadium, R's Salvage Trip, NCAA Has Salary Cap

   There's a reason Vegas didn't offer odds on where the open border, illegal aliens criminal showdown would take place because it was always going to be Los Angeles.  With over 10% of the state's population being illegal you knew they wouldn't all go quietly.  So they love waving the flag of their home country while burning the American flag and trying to hurt cops.  Even many democrats with side with Trump on this one.
   ABC suspends a reporter/anchor for TDS.  Kansas pulls in an outrageous amount of tax revenue in May, wait until you hear how well the tax cuts are going.
   With everyone thinking the Chiefs will renovate Arrowhead, consider this.  After only 23 years, the Broncos are proposing another new stadium with a complete real estate, mixed use entertainment district that is projected to cost $5.3 billion.  You really think everyone in the division is going to have a shiny, new, revenue generating stadium except the Chiefs?
   Matt Quatraro has had his worst week as Royals manager with some puzzling moves but the Royals finish the road trip 3-3.   
   There's two more pretty good girl fights going on in sports and the college teams are about to have a salary cap.
