Mayor Q Pounces on Tragedy, Public Broadcasting Funding Truth, Roger Marshall Solves Covid Origin, R’s Get Booed, Self’s Big Month

   Mayor Q has been everywhere this week exploiting the terrible story of an 84 year old man shooting a 16 year old kid.  But, why not? This is his game, he's great at it and he won't stop until he gets to the White House.
   KC public radio affiliate KCUR is the latest to drop Twitter.  It's pretty obvious NPR is asking all its affiliates to do this and they will comply.  You've no doubt heard them all claim they only get 1% of their funding from the government, well, I'm about to blow the lid off that as it's at least 31% of its funding BEFORE all the tax breaks.
   Kansas Senator Roger Marshall has been working for two years on a 300 page report about the origins of the Covid virus and it sounds like he's nailed it.  So much so that China is irate with what Marshall reports.
   The Royals get booed after falling to 1-11 at Kauffman Stadium and Bill Self has a huge month coming up in the transfer portal that will determine how good KU will be next year.

Yarl Shooting Complicated, Left Immediately Exploits, Mo Trans Ban, Royals New Low, NFL Draft Security Tops Jan. 6

   There is no question 16 year old Ralph Yarl did not have any bad intentions when he mistakenly went to the wrong door last week but the case is much more complicated than what's being presented.  It's more than plausible that an 84 year old man that was asleep that night was truly scared and in fact called the police himself.  We simply have to get to a point where we stop jumping to racist conclusions and allow "innocent until proven guilty" to be our guiding light once again.  Andrew Lester may be a lot of things both good and bad... we just don't know yet.
   The Missouri House has passed a slam dunk bill that prevents trans persons from competing in girls and women's sports, 104-46.  It's got a chance to become law and wrecks my plan for the KC Current to win an easy championship.  Dang the luck. 
   It's hard for the Royals to hit a new low but they did it Tuesday night.
   The NFL Draft is coming to KC and if you can believe it, our town will have more security for this than Nancy Pelosi wanted for January 6.  Fact. 
 

Trump VP Strategy Leaked, Surgeon Works for Jab Victims, Budweiser Ad is Good Start, NFL Draft VIP Tix, Masters Girl Cashes In

   Trump insiders have leaked information to www.dailycaller.com about his strategy to potentially pick a running mate and it's no secret he wants a conservative woman.  We'll break down the odds of those women and the only white man that could be factoring in at this point, Josh Hawley.
   A surgeon is unemployed after getting sick 7 days after taking the Moderna jab two years ago and was forced to retire.  He's going to be ok but can't do his job anymore and he believes he's just one of hundreds of thousands if not millions of people that have had their life turned upside down.  Now his life goal is to help those people.
   Budweiser released a new ad this weekend that is just terrific but they're getting clobbered by many on the right.  But it's important to remember the context here, I'll fill you in.
   For almost everyone, the NFL Draft in KC will be a  free for all to hang out and watch around Union Station.  But for a select few with the means to buy a ticket, you could sit right by the stage as a VIP next Thursday night.
   Riley Gaines pens an incredible Op-Ed, Masters girl 2023 goes more than viral as she cashes in and a bagel shop in NY beats the tax man.  You gotta hear this.

War Leaks Reax Sad, Biden Lies in Ireland/Contradicts Own People, NFL Draft Worth $100 Million, Witt to Witt Goes Viral

   In the short term, there are no winners in the massive leak of classified military information a low level I.T. dude working in Cape Cod and living with his mom released to his war game buddies.  He's a criminal, plain and simple, even if this winds up saving millions of lives.  That wasn't his motive, he was just boasting.  But there's no painting him as some sort of a spy either.  Folks on the left and right should agree these leaks are bad, but not nearly as bad as being lied to by our government.  And NOTHING is as bad as the incompetence it shows.
   Joe Biden, in Ireland, says there was "nothing of consequence" in the 350 documents spread all over the internet and this is a total lie.  Biden's own people call this "highly sensitive" and for crying out loud these docs were labeled "classified" and "top secret."  Stop the lying.... just once!
   Officials in KC now say the NFL Draft is worth $100 million to the city's economy.  That's a big, fat maybe?  You won't believe some of the money being spent over this.
   And Bobby Witt jr. hit a foul ball Tuesday night that has gone viral.  If you haven't heard this story, you'll want to.  It's pretty cool.
 

Intel Leaks Predictable, Musk Hammers Govt Media, Cruz Skewers Popovich, Royals’ New Beer Policy, Mizzou Lands Two

   A young government employee that spends his time in an online gaming group with 25 other men and boys has taken 300 photos of incredibly sensitive secret documents and shared them with his group.  Now millions have seen them and it's completely embarrassing.  This man is in real trouble, but so is our military and intel as this was all very predictable.  Just like everything under this administration, these groups were too busy paying attention to things that are not serious.
   Elon Musk turns the tables on a BBC interviewer after labeling that media outfit as government funded.  Wow, are these government run media folks going nuts.  Musk became the interviewer, live on Twitter, and I'll play the amazing clip for you.
   San Antonio Spurs coach Gregg Popovich popped off again, this time at Senator Ted Cruz... and, calling the second amendment a "myth."  Wait until you hear Cruz' response.
   The Royals just finished a .500 road trip and begin a homestand Friday with a new beer sales policy.  No they are cracking it back.  The games are 38 minutes shorter and it's costing them money.... now they're extending your rights to a cold frosty.
   And Dennis Gates lands two veteran scorers and leaders to transfer in... guys that have won a ton of games.  HIs strategy is spot on.
 

Bud Light Lady Shocking Pics, Tony’s KC Stadium Truth Bomb, USPS Conflict, R’s Blow Another Game, Tampa Rays Making History

   The lady that thought Bud Light's image was too "fratty" with "out of touch" humor is somehow still employed and a whole bunch of fratty white dudes don't like it.  In fact, now they've found pictures of her (you can't make this up) at frat parties doing outrageous things with beer and condoms.  Uh oh.
   We love www.tonyskansascity.com especially when he starts dropping truth bombs nobody else in KC will even whisper.  He's got a doozy about a potential new stadium for the Royals in the worst possible location.  You want to hear this.
   A listener sent me a meme about the Postal Service that if you read it like a joke, you will laugh.  But if you read it literally, it could make you cry.  It's about elections and it's so true.
   The Royals did a lot of really good things Tuesday night against Texas getting the game tied and then taking the lead in extra innings.  But you know how it ends.  This is getting very bad.
   In Tampa, it's quite the opposite as the Rays have started 11-0.  They have 29 home runs to make the history books and they are oh so close to the best start ever.
 

Play Ball: Ryan Lefebvre on All Things Royals and Baseball

   Ryan Lefebvre is back for the 2023 baseball season and will join us from time to time to talk about the Royals, Major League Baseball, broadcasting and, well, anything else he wants.  
    You know Ryan as the voice and face of the Royals broadcast team and we all know him as a great Kansas Citian with a giant heart.  He's as sincere as they get and we know you'll enjoy his thoughts on the start of the season, the new manager and the new rules in Major League Baseball.  Grab some peanuts or Cracker Jack and enjoy!

Gang of 8 to See Classified Docs, Sharice Davids Angers Christians, Riley Gaines Blasts Rapinoe, Koepka Complains, QB Disses Mahomes

   In a story not getting much play, Marco Rubio and 7 others in the "Gang of Eight" will get to see the classified documents Joe Biden, Donald Trump and Mike Pence had in their possession.  We discuss if this can possibly be legit or if what will be provided will be slanted against Trump.
   Congresswoman Sharice Davids has angered Christians after sending out a mass email on Easter Weekend.  We'll share one listeners story.
   Swimmer Riley Gaines just lights up soccer player Megan Rapinoe with a couple truth bomb tweets about men playing in women's sports.  Golfer Brooks Koepka comes off as a whiner after complaining about the pace of play Sunday at the Masters and a former quarterback throws shade at Patrick Mahomes.  What a joke.
 

Rahm Predicted Masters Win, Bud Light VP Outed, Trump Rubs Elbows, NPR Freaks Out, Kelce First Pitch Flop

   2023 Masters Champion Jon Rahm predicted he'd win the tournament when he tweeted it as a teenager ten years ago.  Rahm was incredible and it's clear he just fulfilled his childhood dream.
   The VP at Bud Light responsible for all the backlash after sponsoring a trans influencer is a hard lefty.... and she did an interview a few weeks ago that is just mind boggling.   This story is corporate malpractice.
   Donald Trump was ringside Saturday night at UFC 268 and rubbing elbows with other celebrities.  We'll tell you who they are.
   NPR is freaking out after Elon Musk put a government label on their Twitter feed.  I've got a million thoughts on this one.
  Travis Kelce bounces a first pitch, the Dalai Lama is a creeper and Taylor Swift makes a big change.

Riley Gaines Attacked, Left Won’t Admonish, Trans Shooter Caught, Reid File Made Public, Masters Controversy Explained

   Former NCAA swimmer Riley Gains is a true American hero and may be the most important conservative in America you don't know much about.  This brave young woman was attacked by a trans mob in San Francisco and was punched several times by "a man in a dress" before police got her to safety, locked in a room for three hours.
   She's on the side of almost all women and she will not stand down.  The left won't admonish this crazy trans people and Gaines seems unafraid.  This brave lady is very important to the future of women's sports and maybe even the future of America.
   They caught a would be trans shooter in Colorado before a school could be shot up.  This is great work about what is clearly a growing problem in America as the White House continues to encourage the trans community to "fight back."  Fighting back against what?  That's the real question.
   Britt Reid's accident case file is made public and it's shocking what could have and maybe should have been.
   And a player at the Masters appears to mis mark his ball on the green... and it looks like cheating.  We'll explain why it was not.
