Podcast Popup Ad, Cashill Says Bye to George Floyd, Feds Change Athlete Suspensions, George Brett Nails It, Chiefs Draft Needs, Former Royals Meltdown

   The popup ad that started playing in front of this podcast Wednesday was a surprise to me, too.  I'll explain fully what's going on and I'm asking for your input.
   Conservative writer Jack Cashill at www.wnd.com has authored a column asking if the George Floyd era is over after he snapped a picture of a giant mural of Floyd on a building near his office being painted over.  You have to hear this.
   It's too late for many suspended athletes from this past year but the federal government has implemented a new rule for college athletes pertaining to Title IX that will keep the fellas playing.
   George Brett went on MLB Radio and proclaimed what I've been saying for years: It's time for the Royals and Chiefs to split up.
   We'll talk some needs for the Chiefs in next week's draft, the NCAA wants more free agency for athletes and a former Royal gets suspended for something he said.  This could get interesting.

Bill Barr Does What W Needs to Do, Star Tries to Slam Hawley, Augusta National Robbed of Millions, Nike's Caitlin Fiasco, R's Bats Sour, Jontay Booted Forever

     Former Attorney General  William Barr is no fan of Donald Trump but says he'll vote for him in November.  Barr made the comments as he was speaking truth about the dangers of the Biden administration and weaponizing our justice system.  You gotta hear this.
   The Kansas City Star writes a headline that makes it look like Josh Hawley stole campaign funds to buy himself a car and then explains in the story it was a business move that any Missouri voter would see as brilliant and savvy..... and legal.
   How can it possibly be that millions of dollars worth of merchandise and memorabilia was stolen from Augusta National Golf Club over a 13 year period?  Even worse, it was somebody that worked there that has finally been arrested.  This sounds like a great Netflix movie or documentary.
   Caitlin Clark jerseys are already sold out and not available at major sites until August or October and retailers are blaming Nike.  But, what if Nike is up to something for themselves?
   The Royals get a double header split against the White Sox but its becoming alarming to see how weak their bats are on the road.
   And former Mizzou player Jontay Porter has been booted from the NBA for life.  I've got the details on his gambling scandal.  Then, our Final Final is a famous football coach that has never had coffee.

Mayor Q Invites Chaos and Crime, HS Student Set Up by Teacher, Defund NPR Progress, Another Bauer Liar, MLB Net Loves Royals, CFB Super League

   It hurts to say this but KCMO Mayor Quentin Lucas inviting illegal aliens unhappy in New York to set up shop in KC will likely get somebody killed.  And he's willing to spend tax dollars to make it happen while presiding over record murder rates he cannot fix.  While Mayor Q is three years behind other big city Mayors that are now changing their minds after failure, this man can't stand the idea of others moving ahead of him in the Democrat party.  So collateral damage be damned, Q is on board now with all the other Dems that simply don't care about your safety.  This will impact everyone in our region.  
   A high school student gets set up during a classroom project to use the word "alien" and gets suspended, defunding NPR gains momentum and baseball pitcher Trevor Bauer is proven right again as a woman that extorted him for $1 million is charged with multiple felonies in Arizona.
   Then, a former GM that's on MLB Network loves the Royals and thinks they could win the division, Patrick Mahomes is on the cover of Time Magazine and a proposed CFB Super League looks very 1985.

One Big Thing Missing From Trump Trials, Lock up Road Blockers, KC Star's Pivot, Royals Well Rounded, Andy on Rashee, Nebraska Broadcaster's Emotional Comments

   Donald Trump is on trial in New York for a crime not named because if they did name it exactly, it would be a misdemeanor and would be thrown out.  It's the weakest of all the trials and clearly political which makes me ask the question about one person missing from this topic who's sitting on the sidelines.  And it makes me really angry.
   These pro Hamas protesters blocking roads to airports and closing the Golden Gate bridge should have the book thrown at them.  Lock them up and see how they get treated in our prisons.
   The Kansas City Star is clearly transitioning to something less crazy than their far left past few years.  I'll share some examples of how the market place is reeling the whackos in. 
    17 games in and the Royals are the most well rounded team, statistically, since 1977.  That's a team many Royals fans believe was the greatest Royals team of all time.
   Andy Reid comments on Rashee Rice and, of course, it was not Andy's finest moment.  
   And University of Nebraska play by play broadcaster Greg Sharpe makes an emotional announcement on the air.  I met and worked with Greg beginning in 1982 and this one is tough. 

Scheffler Brilliant Again, Royals Stumble in NY, Messi Rocks Arrowhead, Trump "Remembered" Fondly

   Greetings from Austin, Texas as we are wrapping up a visit to see my son and get a little sun.  We lock in on the brilliance of Scottie Scheffler's game at Augusta, the Royals falling in New York and a spectacle at Arrowhead Saturday night.
   Then, a new poll show Americans remember the Trump years fondly.

Kansas GOP Chair Makes Trump Support Family Affair

   In our quest to promote Republican officials that drive the KC media absolutely crazy, today we chat with Mike Brown.
   As the new chair of the GOP in Kansas, and his wife leading the Trump campaign in Kansas, this is a family affair.  Mike's just like a lot of us, a real radical that wants to enforce laws already on the books and make sure we have free and fair elections.  
   But what really stirs the dems is Mike just won't back down.  Compromise isn't very high on his list of priorities.

Royals are Unstoppable, Convo w/ Jaime Bluma

   Make it 6 in a row for the Royals who blow out the Astros on a night that all 9 starters scored at least one run and Vinnie Pasquantino broke out of his early season slump with a homer and 4 rbi.  Seth Lugo gave up 2 in 6 innings and the bullpen makes it 19 innings in a row without allowing a run.  What the heck is going on here?
   Former Royal Jaime Bluma joins us to talk about the hot streak and the one time reliever gives his thoughts on whether the pen is legit or just hot.
   We also chat about Jaime's commitment to military charity and his fiance's amazing 1000 mile kayak competition in the Arctic Circle.  Are you kidding me, we're about to cover a lot of ground.
 

Public Broadcasting Must Stop, Texas Dem Redefines Stupid, Trump's Abortion Error, Royals Walk Off is 5 Straight, Scheffler Profound at Augusta, Messi Comes to KC

   With a bombshell column by a journalist at National Public Radio describing a place where journalism has died and liberal activism has taken over, it's a reminder we must defund and end public broadcasting. Your tax dollars pay for over $600 million a year to fund NPR and PBS and we've now learned that NPR has 87 registered dems working there and no registered Republicans. 
   A democrat in Texas speaking to high school students before the eclipse set an unreachable new bar for stupidity as she described the gas and energy we get from the "planet" known as the moon.  You have to hear this. 
   Trump is leading in the polls and walked right into crossfire as voters on both sides are mad at his speech on abortion.
   The Royals are officially hot... and good.  The bullpen is now on a roll and led to KC coming back from a 3-0 deficit to make it 5 wins in a row!  Salvy got the walk off gapper and this team is having a blast.
   World number one golfer Scottie Scheffler has profound words at the Masters for what it's like to be at the top of his sport and Lionel Messi is headed to KC to take on Sporting at Arrowhead.  Peter Vermes is quite a fan.
 

March Madness Makes History, Royals Better than Record, NAIA Nails Trans Policy, Plaza Shooting too Common, Eclipse is Climate Change, Trump Campaign Well Oiled

   From record tv ratings to watch the sensational Caitlin Clark and a 38-0 South Carolina team led by controversial Dawn Staley,  to Dan Hurley's historic back to back titles at UCONN, this March was one for the record books.  It was filled with greatness but was also filled with individuals that many fans love to hate making this all one perfect storm.
   The Royals have to be better than their record because they lead the American League in so many statistical categories.  Wait until you hear the numbers.
   The NAIA bans trans athletes from competition with a perfectly thought out and written policy.  A weekend shootout on the Plaza, likely gang related, is all too common now in KC and a host on the View thinks eclipses, earthquakes and cicadas are the result of climate change.
  Then, the left is totally gripping over the fact Donald Trump has run the perfect campaign so far after hauling in $52 million for one dinner at his house.
 

Royals are Rolling, Owner's Wife Reveals Plans, Coach Cal on the Move, Masters Week Begins, Trump Dodges Abortion, Morgan Wallen Arrested

   Well, what do you know?  The Royals are on fire with a four game sweep of the Chicago White Sox, a team with far too many former Royals to be taken seriously.  But Royals pitchers give up only 5 runs in four games and that's insane.  This is fun.
   The owner's wife took to Facebook to just beat up on Jackson County, Missouri after the failed stadium vote.  Marny Sherman says the Royals and Chiefs are both DONE with Jackson County officials.  Uh oh.
   As the National Title game approaches, reports are that Kentucky's John Calipari is leaving to take the job at Arkansas after KSU coach Jerome Tang turned it down.  And you thought an eclipse was unusual.
   It's Masters Tournament week and I can't wait. A very unique player won on the PGA Tour Sunday to qualify for the Masters and becomes the first player ever to play in a kid's event at Augusta National and then qualify for the Masters.
   Donald Trump puts out a video on his abortion policy that dodges the whole issue, Joe Biden continues to crater with young voters and Morgan Wallen is arrested.
   Our Final Final is a tip of the hat to long time KC sports reporter Karen Kornacki as she's retiring after 45 years.
