President Trump says a peace deal will be in place soon or never in the Russia/Ukraine war.  We have the details on how close it is an what's holding it up after a summit with Trump and Zelenskyy in Florida.

  You Tuber Nick Shirley is doing the job the mainstream media refuse to do uncovering fraud by Somalians in Minneapolis.  It's billions of dollars and over 100 million people have watched his videos.  This is bigger than just a story on fraud.

  Union Station lights up blue and suddenly everyone in Missouri wants to love on the Royals.  Do you think the team remembers how poorly the Royals have been treated the past 18 months?

  Gronk has a prediction on Travis Kelce's future you didn't see coming, we cover the NFL playoff picture for you and Mizzou fizzles out in the Gator Bowl.

   Let's call this a Christmas Bonus.

   We hope you had a fantastic holiday and look forward to a great two weeks with some down time.  I can't do a podcast on Friday due to travel but we have a couple nice segment from the radio show on Wednesday we think you may enjoy.  First, will the over reaction to the Chiefs move to Kansas simmer down?  Then, why don't the Chiefs have a site identified.  The most obvious reason could be shocking to you.  

   Also, if the Royals have a "complex" situation according to Senate president Ty Masterson but have met the December 31 STAR bond deadline, what is going on?  There's only two things it could be.

   And finally, 60 Minutes pulled a hit piece on Trump last week and now the president is getting the last laugh.  You have to hear this.

   It's your Christmas Eve Special at KKHI as football expert and Tower Properties President Stan Weber takes a deep dive into what the Chiefs have just pulled off to build a new stadium.  This is insight you will only get here.

  Then, don't tell Stan the season isn't worth finishing as he's livid the Chiefs quit at Tennessee.  And the College Football Playoff is about to get good over the holidays but it has a really ugly flaw.  Merry Christmas to all and thanks so much for listening to and supporting our podcast.

   KC's major league sports teams moving to Kansas has always been inevitable.  It's not just that the STAR bond money is too good to pass up, in the case of the Chiefs, they had no option to build new with an entertainment development anywhere in Missouri.  The team is fibbing.  This wasn't close, it wasn't decided last week and was more like a 48-3 football beatdown.  No Missourians should rejoice they aren't on the hook for it all and can look forward to lower income taxes.  Seems like a win/win to me.

   The winner in all this, of course, is Clark Hunt.  His team is really, really good at football.  But his business is next level American Capitalism elite.

   Mizzou hoops may be in big trouble this year after a disaster against Illinois.  Bill Self says Darryn Peterson's family is now involved in deciding whether he will play or not.  Oh, boy. 

   Trump bounce back in polling in a big way.  He announces a new golden fleet of Trump Ships and my childhood root beer stand could be returning to KC in a meaningful way.

   Monday will be better than Sunday for the Chiefs as the state of Kansas is set to announce somewhere between $2-$3 billion will be given to ownership to build a new stadium, offices and practice facilities.  This the beginning of the end of the Truman Sports Complex.

   The team is absolutely embarrassed on the field against he lowly Titans Sunday.  I can't remember anything this ugly.

   The college football playoff got it's first road team winners ever this weekend but the other two games are not even worthy of watching.  This system has a big flaw.

   Mizzou takes on Illinois in the Braggin' Rights game in St. Louis.

   At Turning Point's AmericaFest, comedian Rob Schneider's jokes about Candace Owens prove one of the most powerful things about American Conservatism.

   CBS pulls a 60 minutes piece on the CECOT prison in El Salvador, what's this about?  A reviewer doesn't care much for 1587 Steakhouse and Powerball's super sized jackpot would make one great stocking stuffer.

   The December 31 deadline for STAR Bonds in Kansas to finance 70 percent of a new stadium for the Chiefs and Royals appears to be exactly what we have said here for three years now... an offer too good to refuse.  We have the details on what a appears to be decisions by both teams to follow the yellow brick road.

   Mizzou quarterback Beau Pribula has entered the transfer portal ahead of the team's Gator Bowl matchup against Virginia.  NASCAR driver Greg Biffle, his family, and three friends die in a plane crash.  He was a great driver and humanitarian.

   Trump says he doesn't need congress to do whatever he wants in Venezuela and give the greatest reason why.  And Lee Sterling is here from www.paramountsports.com with his point spread picks.

   President Trump addressed the nation Wednesday night, somehow hoodwinking all the networks to air something that was nothing more than a political speech filled with stuff we already knew.  He seemed nervous, grumpy and the teleprompter threw him off several times.  It was not his best night and Americans, one week from Christmas, don't want to be told that money isn't tight.  I don't understand this one.

   Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe's plan to eliminate state income tax in Missouri gets a boost from members of a key GOP committee.  Let's go!

   Dan Bongino's future is behind a microphone and not with the FBI.  We knew from the start this was a bad idea and it could be a sign Missouri's former Attorney General is the next Director of the FBI.

   We've known a new Steven Spielberg movie is set in KC for quite some time as photos of on locations scenes filmed on the east coast have been around for months.  Now we have the official trailer for "Disclosure Day" which hits theaters June 12.  I have details of what it looks like and what it's about.

   The Chiefs give generic information about Patrick Mahomes return to the field next year, the Royals release a statement about a new ballpark, the Chicago Bears threaten a move to Indiana and the College Football Playoff starts Friday

   Our Final Final is a sticky pair of kicks from the breakfast joint Dennys.

   President Trump has announced the United States has surrounded Venezuela with a complete blockade of sanctioned oil tankers in an effort to cut off all the money flowing into that country.  At the same time, he's announced he will address the nation Wednesday night from the White House in a speech that's expected to feature accomplishments and plans for 2026.  Let's hope he stays on script.

   Marco Rubio makes a bold statement about what will keep him from running for president in 2028.  

   The Royals seem to be infuriating everyone except the people that make the decision on whether they can build a ballpark at 119th and Nall.  The City of Lenexa is trying to pull another crazy liberal scam on its good citizens after failing with a homeless shelter.  Wait until you hear this joke.

   There's a ton of reporting on Travis Kelce's future and we'll explain why you shouldn't be listening to any of it just yet.  Darryn Peterson sits for the 8th time in 12 games as KU gets an easy win.   Kansas State is losing its only good wide receiver to the transfer portal and our Final Final is not great news for KC.

   It seemed too good to be true Monday night when everyone was jumping for joy Patrick Mahomes got after it and immediately had surgery to repair a torn ACL.  The Chiefs told us there was nothing more and Andy Reid said it would be a quick recovery.  Wrong.  

   Dr. Dan Cooper, in Dallas,  operated almost immediately after diagnosing a torn LCL along with the ACL.  We explain why this had to be done fast, hear from an expert doctor and share Tom Brady's thoughts on what is ahead for the future Hall of Fame quarterback.  This won't be easy.

   Then, how in the world are we hearing more Eli Drinkwitz rumors, this time around the open job at Michigan?  Bill Self gives an update on Darryn Peterson that is encouraging.

   In the news, it feels like they are hiding information at Brown University after the shooting a few days ago.  

   The ghost fleet of oil ships breaking international law is outrageously large.  We share some thoughts on the tragic story of the Reiner family and Joe Biden wears the wrong hat to an Eagles game.

  Our Final Final is the story about a license plate in Texas you won't believe.  Heck, you may want to get this plate.

   The Chiefs season is over for all intents and purposes and it's time to get real.  You have an aging quarterback that has slowed down and now has an ACL surgery.  High priced older players that don't play to the level expected and a team that is poorly coached.  Ya, that's pretty much everyone.  The only thing to say is there is no continuing with the same plan to keep the band together.  If the Chiefs want to chase more Super Bowls with Patrick Mahomes they need a completely different blueprint for Part II.

   A pastor at Journey church in Lee's Summit jokes about these sloppy Chiefs in his sermon to inspire the congregation.

   The Royals trade for a left fielder, KU's Darren Peterson gets hurt again.  Trump's coin toss at Army-Navy was an incredible scene.  Taylor Swift hands out massive cash bonuses to her crew.

   Then, a new documentary by KMBC Channel 9 took 19 months for Donna Pittman and her team to produce.  It features Kansas City area women that served in Vietnam and it airs Tuesday night at 7:00.  It sounds incredible.

   Our Final Final is a cold sack of burgers.
