China's Final Raise, Hollywood Cut Off, Hawley Having Fun, Pharma Moving to USA, R's Hit Road, Master Pee Break, Song of Week

   China raised tariffs over night to 125% and says that's the highest they will go as it essentially cuts off all products moving from the USA to China and they cut off Hollywood films.  Again, so what?  We don't send much to China and our films are 3% of their film industry as they already kept American culture out of their country.  
   Josh Hawley is having fun with all this from the political side as he says libs know this is the right play but have a hard time saying anything nice about Trump.  We also get the news that a giant pharma company is investing billions to build 7 factories in the USA to avoid tariffs on their drugs.  Let's go!
   The Royals take 3 out of 4 from the Twins, even as the bats are struggling, and now hit the road for ten days in really bad weather.  This is going to be a slog.
   A golfer takes a leak on the course at Augusta National and apparently they will let him keep playing.  Big names dot the leader board.  A high profile college basketball coach makes a surprising move, a ride at Worlds of Fun closes and our song of the week is an ode to small businesses everywhere.

Trump's Global Coalition, Dems Root for China, DOGE Exposes Unemployment, Royals Lifeless in Loss, Future KU Star #1, Commissioners to Speak, Piano Man's Donation

   Donald Trump actually did shock the world with his announcement he's working with 75 friendly countries to not only improve America's trade situation with them, he's partnering with them to take down China's practices of ripping everyone off.  It felt like a glorious and historic day.
   Meanwhile, the Dems are accusing Trump of manipulating the stock market while rooting for the Chinese to beat him.  They'd much rather Trump lose than America win.
   DOGE unearths some ridiculous recipients of unemployment checks you just won't believe.
   In sports, the Royals bats are quiet again in a  lifeless loss to the Twins.  A future KU basketball star is ranked the number one player in the country.  The commissioners of the four power conferences in college athletics are sitting down for a joint interview on fixing the business side of the NCAA.  And Billy Joel donates to a political campaign but it's not like a lot of the stories you've heard before.

   A soccer coach of a 13 year old boy's team has been charged with murder.  He's an illegal alien and he's been arrested before and they've just let him walk until now.  Unreal.
   Stephen Miller will brighten your day with sage words set to music, new polling shows nobody even knows what National Public Radio is and a California valedictorian is a free speech warrior.

Supremes Back Trump, Sen. Moran is Problem, Stephen A. Smith for Prez, Lezak's Back, Royals Rolling, Gators Bite Houston, NCAA Salary Cap Close

    The Supreme Court has ruled that low level judges without a case before them can no longer stop the President from doing his job.  This is a big one but it begs the question.  Is it worth it for Dems to fight this president when you know these rulings are this easy for Trump to win?
   Kansas Senator Jerry Moran is increasingly a problem for Trump as he's now joining other Republicans to try to slow this president down. Kansans need to be heard.
   Stephen A. Smith from ESPN says he's no longer ruling out running for president.  Gary Lezak is back on channel 41 doing weather in the mornings.  Sort of.
   The Royals are starting to heat up behind starting pitching and timely hitting.  The Florida Gators come back against Houston to win the national title and a salary cap in college athletics is getting close.  We have the details.
 

R's Win First Series, KSU Golfer Wins at Augusta, SKC Gets Relief, UK Leader Praises Trump, 50 Countries Want Deals, Jaguar Halts Cars, Stephen Miller Truth Bombs

   The prime minister of the United Kingdom says he understands why Trump is doing all these tariff deals and why voters like him over illegal aliens.  Then, he says "globalism is over," in a stunning declaration.
   Fifty countries want deals with the U.S. and several have already said they will pull their tariffs.  Jaguar/Land Rover have stopped shipping cars to America for at least 30 days and our co-host Stephen Miller sums it up like nobody else.
   For our final-final, is Disneyworld about to take a backseat to a better theme park in Orlando?

   If you're wondering if the tariffs are good for America, perhaps all we should do is look at the global reaction.  Leaders of allies and enemies alike threw a hissy fit as the tariffs take effect and I'm having a hard time figuring out how this is bad for America.

Discount Tariffs Set, "Do Not Retaliate," FBI on Win Streak, R's Bats Weak, Chiefs Schedule News, Klieman Spits Truth on CFB, Barkley Misses Mark, Stock Goes Wild

   Trump used a chart to show the world what his "discount tariffs" will be with about 60 countries not named Canada and Mexico.  It's more than fair and the message from the White House is... "do not retaliate" as it will not go well for you.  Let's go!
   The FBI is on a winning streak picking up bad people all over the land.  Over 40 illegal gang bangers were grabbed in Texas on the same day it was announced applications to become an agent set a new record for the FBI in March.
   The Royals got plenty of good pitching the past two days but scored only one run in 18 regular innings.  But they are still tied for first place at 2-4!
