Former Vice President Dick Cheney has died at the age of 84.  Yes, he loved America and yes, he loved war.  And yes, this podcast host once upon a time believed in what he was selling us.  But mostly, his death is a reminder of what we used to be forced to vote for.  As VP, Dems hated him almost as much as they do Trump.  In death, they will remember him as a great steward of the neo con deep state.

    Bernie Sanders appears on a podcast and pretty much predicts the Democrat party is over and will splinter into two parties.   Ben Shapiro, on his podcast, hammers Tucker Carlson... we'll play a clip.

   Former Senator Joe Manchin gives the clearest statement yet on why Dems are in trouble while a crazy dem in Montana running for office leaves the most vile voicemail you've ever heard for Montana Senatory Tim Sheahy.

    Left Tackle Josh Simmons is back with the Chiefs.   I"m going there.... new KU star Darryn Peterson looks a lot like Michael Jordan.

   And the Royals are sending a survey out to the fans about a new ballpark and that can only mean one thing.

   It's all here today as President Trump unloads a barrage of policy goals during an epic 60 Minutes interview right after the Chiefs/Bills game.  This appearance was no accident and it's yet another sign the new ownership at CBS is going to play things fair.

   On the field, the Bills played what I believe is the best game they have played in the Josh Allen era.  Ever.  And still, somehow, the Chiefs had a chance to pull it out.  Amazing.

   K-State gets worked over in a similar fashion against Tech and it sets up a big week for Patrick Mahomes at his Alma Mater.  KU rolls OSU and Mizzou preps for A and M.

   The World Series was, perhaps, the greatest ever and it was definitely the best game 7 I've ever seen.  And Stan Weber his here to talk about the Chiefs playoff chances (spoiler: he's not worried) and we ask if the Broncos are a dirty team.

   Our Final Final is a chance for you to score a little Christmas cash.

   There's something very strange happening with members of Trump's cabinet that if we read it in a history book about the Lincoln administration we would have thought it was the scariest of times.  Is something big going on?  We take a look at a series of things that point to something historic.

   Meanwhile, President Trump has decided he wants to go nuclear option and end the filibuster.  Its something nobody has really wanted to happen but he gives a really solid reason.

   The teachers unions have been going nuts over the shutdown and for good reason.  It's not their funding, that just plugs along.  It's something else and its huge.

  Mizzou basketball coach Dennis Gates is asked about playing Howard University and a scholarship both schools have from a former reporter in KC and in the process seems to let  it out of the bag he has TDS.

   Lee Sterling of www.paramountsports.com has his biggest plays of the year this weekend as we discuss the Chiefs/Bills and KSU and KU games.

   And our Final Final is a return of the Song of Week suggested by a listener.

   While we slept, President Trump had completed a shorter meeting than planned with President XI of China and has a deal in hand.   Soy bean farmers are rejoicing and it may include oil from Alaska.  Trump calls it a "12" on a scale of 0-10.  Details are still emerging but we share what we know.

  JD Vance was at a Turning Point event at Ole Miss and just dazzled the crowd of over 10,000 Wednesday night.  CBS News is undergoing massive changes and is reportedly saying goodbye to its "race and culture" unit as part of a big reduction in workforce.

   In sports, the Blue Jays take a 3-2 lead in the World Series.   Stan joins us to previews the Chiefs/Bills big game on Sunday.  We also chat about the turns in the season for KSU, MU and KU.  

  Then, a message in a bottle story from down under that dates back to World War I.

   With all the democrat fixation on the Trump Ballroom being built, one democrat stands out above them all and is calling for something so crazy.... we hope it actually happens.  The Ballroom Blitz appears doomed to backfire.  

   At the same time, pride in America for democrat voters is at a 25 year low.  Sounds like a win to me.

   Changes in some of our biggest cities are happening at the top of ICE.  We have the deets on how the Border Patrol will now influence a change in procedure for mass deportations and Phase 2.

   Trump scores more deals in Asia as he gets ready to meet with Xi of China.

   The Chiefs have one stat this year that stands out above all others.  A new defensive tackle signed by KC is very familiar to all of us.   The Colts new female owner is changing the game on how to run a team... and she's got the top team in the AFC all of the sudden.   KU's Darryn Peterson sits  in an exhibition win, Toronto ties the World Series at two games a piece and our Final Final is a numbers game.

   The Chiefs kicked aside some early sloppiness to blast the Washington Commanders with a dazzling second half performance that was near perfection.   The Chiefs ran it, Mahomes threw it and everybody got in on the action.  A pair of defenders go their first career interceptions putting away a struggling team that brought all they had.  KC is still in 3rd place in the AFC West but it's not a stretch to say the next three game (@Bills, @Denver, Colts) will determine the one seed in conference.

   The governor of Kansas and the owner of the Chiefs both talked about stadium issues on Monday and it feels like nothing has gone anywhere.  Could somebody please do a deal and make a decision?

   We'll revisit K-State's big win over KU Saturday and Mizzou resetting its season as a lot has changed in a short period of time.

   Monday night's game 3 of the World Series was a 6 hour and 39 minute marathon that saw the Dodgers win in historic fashion in the 18th inning.   And wait until you hear what Shohei Ohtani did, the most incredible stat ever.

   KU basketball has a rising star you need to know about and our Final Final updates you on the jewelry heist in Paris last week.

   Everybody believes it's going to be easy work for the Chiefs Monday night against the team that should still be called the Redskins but let's not forget Washington was in the NFC title game last year.

   Starting QB Jayden Daniels is out but Stan Weber tells us that for a game or two, there won't be much difference with Marcus Mariota under center.  We'll break down the matchup and ask the question if Washington coach Dan Quinn disrespects the game looking silly wearing his hat backwards.  

  Its all college football as Mizzou can roll on the road and KU can end a sad streak. 

   I've got some exciting news to share with you to get started on this episode and then we have a conversation I promise you are going to love.

   Ron Cox is the author of "Me and My Best Friend" which is a compilation of 30 stories from 30 years of friendship.  A lot of people may hope to write a book like this but imagine publishers would be underwhelmed.  Not for Ron.  They liked the first draft he wrote in just four months and then he financed the entire project so every penny of sales can go to the Daniel L. Cox scholarship program.  It honor's Ron's nephew who lost his life with the 10th Mountain Unit in Afghanistan.

  This is an incredible story and we hope you pick up the book and then pick up the phone to connect with somebody in your life.

   In one of the most elitist arrogant interviews you could eve see, former Biden Press Secretary "circle back" Jen Psaki is under fire for questioning if JD Vance's wife is safe being with him.   It's so out of touch and insane we are starting to realize that the so called "polarization" in America has almost nothing to do with a very normal majority of people.

   Meanwhile, in Trump world we get comments about Obama's Library construction debacle, recovering money from the DOJ for all the investigations and a popularity contest in India.  It's true, you never know what topics this president will speak about.

   Japan's new Prime Minister's first move is the creation of the Ministry of Deportation, Walmart is making a couple big moves.  In sports, a pair of Chiefs fans make a stink about their ejection and I'm actually glad they got the boot for being jerks.   Russell Wilson fires back at a former coach.

   Bobby Witt Jr. speaks out on what he says went wrong with the Royals this year.  The World Series features a pitcher that's had an amazing journey to get here this year.  Michael Jordan shares an incredible story in an NBC interview.  And our Final Final is the great Randy Johnson's explaining why he doesn't sign jerseys at autograph show.  It will warm your heart.
