On a day www.fox4kc.com reports that if the Royals leave it will be Mayor Q's fault, we learn that Frank White has blown it again for Jackson County.  If/when the Royals and Chiefs leave the sports complex, it will definitely be more of a Frank White problem than the mayor.  In a recent letter to the governor, White offers to cut off the Royals completely AND lower the money the Chiefs get from a 3/8 cent sales tax.   Between he two of them, it has to be over in Jackson County.

   I met a friend yesterday, not a conservative, and we had a chatty waiter.  What happened when the waiter asked what I do for a living was an eye opening moment for the young man, if only he wanted to open his eyes.  I was literally talking to two people that will save $16,800 between them in federal taxes next year and don't believe it's true.

   The Kansas economy is ranked third to the bottom of states in the country, the first lady is helping Trump with his Russia policy and Lambert Field in St. Louis had a waiting line out the door almost to I-70 yesterday.

  In sports, the Big Dumper wins the home run derby, the Royals have the easiest schedule in the league the rest of the way and Fox Sports 1 fires almost everybody.  Then, our Final Final is buyer beware if you're trying to become an extra on the set of Ted Lasso filming in KC.

   The Royals pulled out a much needed win leading into the All Star Break Sunday.  Then, the front office locked in and grabbed a couple high school hitters in the first round of the MLB Draft Sunday night.  We have the details.

   The All Star Game is in Atlanta...four years after MLB wimped out and moved it because Dems were applying pressure.  What a joke of a time we lived through and what a relief it's better.

   An NFL wide receiver does a podcast with his athlete brother and their dad and the topic came up of how the man raised and trained three athletes. He credits "breeding" for it and its hilarious.  You want to hear this.

   John Elway is cleared of any wrongdoing as he was driving a golf cart when his friend fell off the back and hit head and died.  

    President Trump went for the global photo op in New York at the FIFA Club World Cup final.  This week, he's expected to announce tough sanctions on Russia as that war continues.  Then, we revisit some July 13 headlines from a year ago when Trump was shot.  

   The Dem media have a new battle cry as PBS and NPR are about to get defunded.  And police officers in Arizona deliver a tasty treat to some surprised residents.

   They are the coaches you love to hate but it's getting harder every day.  Of course you would love a Harbaugh if he was your head coach but there sure is a lot of respect for them being open and honest as they visit Trump at the White House.

   Sportsradio 810 host Jason Anderson posted fantastic side by side comparison pics of Travis Kelce at the Lake Tahoe Celebrity golf tourney last year and this year.  Kelce was an all out bloated slob in the photo... from LAST YEAR.  This year... ripped.  So, it's ok to point out a year later that Kelce wasn't serious about being in shape but not of a player as it's actually happening? It's your choice... you can choose real or cheerleader media.  

  Charles Barkley says he will "100 percent" support Auburn basketball coach Bruce Pearl if he runs for Senate in Alabama.  Pearl is Jewish and conservative and outspoken.  Stay tuned.

   The Royals host the Mets this weekend and have a huge night Sunday in the MLB draft as they have FIVE picks on the first day.

   And our Song of the Week takes us back to Lake Tahoe and that celebrity golf tournament we worked so many times over the years.   We have a Trump story, a Mark Cuban story and a Song of the Week  from a band that took a liking to Miss Jessica.

   The Royals have done something nobody saw coming.  They are hitting, winning and suddenly we have to look at them differently after winning 4 in a row and 6 out of 7.   Because they surged to a playoff series win last year AND they want to build a new stadium... I'm guessing the Royals are about to be buyers in the trade market.

  At Big 12 media days, KU Athletic Director Travis Goff talks about their new football stadium opening August 23 and in doing so promises something historic around the corner.  Goff says the next announcement in fundraising has never been done in college athletics history.  We are all ears.

   Gymnast and social media influencer Livvy Dunne thought she had a New York apartment purchased with boyfriend pitcher for the Pirates Paul Skenes.  Then the owners pulled the offer.  She posted a video about it and seemed really hurt because that apartment was Babe Ruth's home in 1929.

   The Secret Service has suspended six agents involved at the Trump shooting in Pennsylvania one year ago.  Job gains for Americans are in the millions as  those for non-Americans falling off a cliff.

   Chief of Staff Susie Wiles does a rare interview talking about what happened between Mr. Trump and Elon Musk.  And homeowners and those who want to be homeowners are about to get some breaks.

   Our Final Final is quarterback Kirk Cousins with a nifty little hack at Great Clips.

   Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe is headed to NKC Friday to support the new sports authority in Clay County, this is a huge sign of support for the Royals new ballpark being built there.  Meanwhile, Chiefs president Mark Donovan makes another comment suggesting the team has it's eyes on a new stadium in Kansas.

   It's been a wild 48 hours after my comments about Patrick Mahomes vacation photos buried 34 minutes deep into Monday's pod.  We appreciate Fox News for actually listening to what I said and getting the story right while everyone else wildly overreacted.  But hey, this is perfect.  I'm serious, the team can make me the bad guy if they want.  Even Mayor Q is piling on.

   The Boys are playin' Some Ball again as the Royals have won 5 of 6.  The Big 12 commish drops an incredible stat about the league's QB's and gushes face to face with Avery Johnson on a hot mic.

   In DC, an investigation into Russia, Russia, Russia is starting, Trump takes a grandfather clock from the State Department to the White House, Mars candy pushes back against RFK Jr and Overland Park is breaking the bank on a new City Hall.

   It's always silly when somebody says something true and it creates a controversy.  Patrick Mahomes has belly fat.  He's also changed the way the game is played and is the greatest player of his generation.  Reaction to my buried in the back of the podcast comments Monday went viral after Mahomes' trainer came after me on social media.  He's the first trainer in history to argue that belly fat is a good thing and, like a great democrat politician, the fanatics actually believe him.  It's your option to find it charming and good... it's my job to point out the belly fat will be gone someday when Mahomes gets serious like other athletes in their 30's. 

   Kansas extended their STAR bond offer to the Royals and Chiefs and immediately Chiefs president Mark Donovan says it will take nearly a year to put something on the ballot for the team to stay in Missouri.  This is insane.

   The Royals are rolling but it feels like too little too late.  A Pirates player in KC has an awesome list of no trade teams in his contract as he obviously hates income taxes.  Ron DeSantis has a better plan, a perfect plan, for Elon Musk.

   Mayor Q takes a dip in a new pool with a shirt and tie on and I think it's a very cool thing for him to do.  Buc-ee's construction at the Speedway is delayed a couple months and Amazon Prime Day is now bigger than Black Friday.

   What was supposed to be a celebratory holiday weekend turned tragic in Texas with some of the most horrific flash flooding we've ever seen.  The stories of loss are just heartbreaking and the stories of heroism are remarkable.

   The Big, Beautiful Bill is in full effect and there are plenty of reasons to cheer.  But the biggest winner may be ICE which gets an incredible boost of support in this legislation.

   Obama threw a wet blanket on Independence Day with a dark, dire, cynical post about our great holiday.  

   We have an NFL pre season game three weeks from Thursday... let's go.  And as the Chiefs get ready to open camp in a few days, it's clear quarterback Patrick Mahomes will have to play his way into shape after vacation photos of him shirtless hit the tabloids. 

    The Royals have won 3 of their last 4 but lost another game toward the wildcard.  And we'll tell you who made the All Star team.

   We begin with our Song of the Year today and you may remember this version from the Chiefs Super Bowl pregame when KC beat the Eagles.

   Wednesday I was given a private tour of the location, amenities and plans for a new Royals ballpark in the Northland.  Much of it is off the record still... but I've got plenty of details for you about the best place for the Royals to play.

   A Shawnee man, with the help of his parents coaching him, has qualified for the 4th of July Hot Dog eating contest on ESPN2 against Joey Chestnut.

   A stunning CNN poll shows that young Democrats hate Jews and love Palestine.  Columbia University is hacked in the funniest way possible and it involves President Trump.

   And Ted Lasso is setting up shop in KC for the new season everyone said would never happen.... except for one humble podcast host who guaranteed it two years ago.

   Shortly after the Senate passed the Big, Beautiful Bill, Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt clarified for everyone that it does eliminate 1.4 million illegal aliens from receiving benefits under Medicaid.  What a relief.

   At the same time, Secretary Scott Bessent went on the attack trying to get interest rates down.  In a scathing attack on Fed Chair Jay Powell, Bessent says "complete panic" is not a strategy.  Wow.

   If you can believe it, our KKHI scoreboard shows Trump had SEVEN wins on Tuesday, wait until you hear all these.

  In sports, everyone thought Salvy had a three run homer in KC's win over Seattle Tuesday.  Wait until you hear about a bone headed play by a centerfielder that fooled everyone.

   Missouri Governor Mike Kehoe is taking money away from World Cup KC.... good move.  Big Ben Roethlisberger slams Patrick Mahomes.  A Diamondbacks fan is booted for the season and a country music star cuts off an interview when they ask him about his wife and other men.

   If you weren't convinced the WNBA is filled with a bunch of racists that hate Caitlyn Clark wait until you hear how the other players voted for Clark for the All Star game.  

   The Royals complete a dreadful June that has taken them out of the playoff race and put them in a worse category than the Colorado Rockies.

   Former NFL star Charles "Peanut" Tillman has an incredible new career.

   Brad Pitt talks about going to Mizzou and growing up in Missouri promoting his new movie F1.  The movie's opening weekend was the biggest of Pitt's career.

   RFK totally understands President Trump, Steven Miller exposes the Dems gameplan and tariffs collected in June are up billions and billions of dollars.
