Royals More TV Choices, Pitching "Department" Crushing It, Convo w/Joel Goldberg

The Royals are inside two weeks until the start of the season and if there's one thing other teams say about the Royals it's that they suddenly know how to acquire and coach good pitching. They call it The Pitching Department and it's working. Joel Goldberg is back for his 18th season on the Royals TV Network that's now called Fanduel Sports. He shares with us his thoughts on all the new ways to watch Royals games, how the team is shaping up and his booming off season media business. KC is lucky...

Trump's True Legacy is Exporting American Greatness, Greenland Means Go, Libs Losing Work, Mahomes and CJ Create Space, Caddy Has Best Day Ever, Rock Star Takes Break

While Donald Trump has everyone talking Tariffs and Elon and wars, he's quietly building something that could be his lasting legacy.... exporting the ideals that have led to American Exceptionalism. It's taking root everywhere as Greenland votes for Independence. Lets Make Earth Great Again! Libs are losing work as elected officials, federal employees and members of the media. We wondered all these years how they've stayed afloat and now one big closure has shut them all down. Patrick Mahomes an...

Trump Crushes Ontario in 4 Hours, Prices Coming Down, Jax County Lost w/Royals, KU/KSU Session on Goofy Court, Chiefs Sign Corner, Salvy's Last Year?, Tiger Hurt Again

It was rough start of the week for Donald Trump with markets tumbling and Tesla dealers getting destroyed by domestic terrorists. Then he got so tough with Canada, threatening to end their auto manufacturing industry, Canada called off the tariff battle four hours later. Prices are starting to come down and that's good news. Will the markets start to buy in? Jackson County has no clue and no plan for the Royals and they are now stating that publicly. What a mess. KU and KSU play the night sessio...

Big 12 and SEC Tourney Previews and Chiefs Moves w/Stan Weber

Stan will be courtside for the games at the Big 12 Tourney in KC and has seen all the teams up close this season. We talk about KU's chances of surprising people now that they are playing better and Hunter Dickinson has become unstoppable. Can Mizzou find its defense again? The Tigers seem a little exhausted from playing in a brutal SEC and may just need some different opponents. Also, there is a tournament in Vegas KSU can qualify for with a win or two. It's March, we love hoops and we cover it...

KK & JK Fail Their Pup, Royals Bats Pop, MU Defense Falters, Old Ch. 4 Colleague Lawsuits, ABC Cuts Staff, CNN Fact Check Fail

It's official, Kevin and Jessica are really bad dog parents. No, not in any real way, but the anguish we felt yesterday was a little like losing your toddler for two minutes at a department store. It all involves a Royals spring training game. The Royals bats were alive on Wednesday night and reliever Lucas Erceg looks ready to go. Mizzou goes as Mizzou's defense goes and forcing only 4 turnovers in the first half at OU was a recipe for disaster. We discuss the SEC powers and what it will take g...

Greatest Speech of all Time, Partisan... for Americans, Dems Can't Support Cancer Kid, Stephen A. Declares Mandate, TNT Boss Happy to Lose NBA

I'm not afraid to say it. President Trump delivered the greatest speech of my lifetime and its not even close. After he declared America is Back to thunderous roars, he was funnier than any comedian ever as he mocked the stupidity of how our government spends money. Then he told America the people on the left wouldn't clap for him if he cured cancer. One Dem got booted for heckling and Trump rolled with it like a pro. And he covered it all. They will say this was the most partisan speech ever an...

Trump Promises Big News, Dems Hate Female Athletes, Big Words from Canada, Houston Too Tough for KU, Moose Day in KC, ESPN Host Props Trump

President Trump is promising an amazing speech for Congress and all Americans and the word circulating is he's putting all the cards on the table. Is that a NATO exit? The end of the United Nations? A complete pullout of the Ukraine/Russia war? More tariffs? Grab some popcorn, it's only America's future on the line. Democrats hate female sports and they just keep proving it in a losing effort that is amazingly stupid. I guess this is how you try to keep your failing party together? Not a single ...

Zelenksy Will Lose America, Sen Marshall Gets Heckled, Salty Iguana Epic Fail, KU Hoops Racism Controversy, Kelce Stepping Up, Royals Roll Padres

Imagine winning Powerball and collecting your money and then being asked to do a news conference with lottery officials and you trash them all right in front of the cameras. That's Volodymyr Zelenskyy. What a dick to show up at the Oval Office and air his grievances. He's lucky to be alive and even luckier to be a billionaire. Americans won't stand for this. Senator Roger Marshall is the latest GOP member to get heckled by radical liberals who are upset the government is cutting costs. What a jo...

KKHI Conversation: Author Ron Freeman's is Story so Much More Than Football

Ron Freeman was a college football star before playing years of pro football in the USFL and the Buffalo Bills and Kansas City Chiefs. He's also the father of Josh, who played quarterback at KSU and in the NFL for six years. And while football is a huge part of their family's story, there is so much more. As a boy, Ron though he wanted to be a black panther. But going to church as a kid one Sunday, alone no less, Ron chose a different path. As a leader in GOP politics in the Kansas City area and...

200K Wanna Buy Citizenship, Mayor Q Audio & KK Response, USAID Fraud Gets Worse, Gary Woodland Gets Emotional, NFL Ready for Change, R's Finally Lose

The Trump Administration says over 200,000 people are already in the cue to pay $5 million to become American citizens. This is just too hard to believe. Is there a catch? Well, Trump says big American companies like Apple want to use the $5 million citizenship offer as signing bonuses to hire the best talent in the world. Amazing. I'll play the Mayor Q audio for you of him taking shots at yours truly on 96.5 The Fan earlier this week and my radio response on www.kcmotalkradio.com . USAID fraud ...

Mayor Q Calls Out KK, GOP New Tax Deal, Trump's Gold Card, Mizzou Goes Crazy, Chiefs Expect Kelce Back, Royals Rolling,

Out of nowhere at the start of an interview on 96.5 The Fan with Carrington Harrison, Mayor Q calls out yours truly. And, wow, did he get it wrong. He lied when he said he didn't know I was still around. Then he called our reports about the Chiefs wanting to move to Kansas and ACTUAL QUOTES by the Royals owner as "rumors" on talk radio. Mr. Status Quo seems to be the only person that doesn't know what's going on. The GOP has a new tax plan and it's just fantastic. No tax on tips, social security...

If you were somebody's boss and they went on tv and trashed your decisions, what would you do? Well, whatever you would do is not going to happen at MSNBC where Rachel Maddow just unloaded on the network for cutting costs and employees. Elon Musk says a small number of government employees responded to their email request to share what they did last week. Now he says, at the President's discretion, everyone gets a second chance to send anything in to their supervisor or they will be fired. A mar...

Work or Get Fired Seems Simple, Bongino Joins FBI, Revisiting Duke Lacrosse, Royals Prospects Pop, Stadium Meetings Set, KU Bounces Back

It seems pretty simple. You take a job and if you go to work and perform well you get paid. If you don't go to work or trash your bosses, you get fired. There is NOTHING controversial about how DOGE is treating federal workers. Dan Bongino is leaving radio and heading to the FBI to work with Kash Patel. We revisit the Duke Lacrosse scandal in 2006 as Trump's Advisor and my co-host Stephen Miller was right in the middle of the storm. We explain it fully. Royals prospects Jac Caglianone and Carter...

Hockey Almost Great Again, Co-Host Gives Civics Lesson, Trump to Save Golf, Travolta KC Connection, Kelce One More Year?, R's First Game, Song of Week

We almost made hockey great again in America but Team USA did fall in OT to Canada in the final of the 4Nations tournament. But let's keep it real here... better to lose at hockey than to lose $200 billion a year to their country. KKHI Co-host Stephen Miller took over a news conference at the White House Thursday and gave a perfect Civics 101 lecture to the ridiculous media. Meanwhile, Trump welcomed Tiger Woods to the White House and met with PGA Tour and LIV golf officials to broker an agreeme...

Let's call them the Fast and Furious as they are must watch material popping #4 Alabama scoring 110 points. Mizzou and Auburn are the most fun teams in America to watch.

KU Debacle is Shocker, Trump/Musk on Same Page, Who Are Delta Pilots?, Laura Kelly Punked, MU's Big Test, Melendez All New, Mahomes Sr Trouble

Watching KU get worked over by BYU was completely shocking to the system as it appeared the players just didn't care. It was awful. "Embarrassed" is the word Bill Self used and said of his traveling party, "we all need to get away from each other." This may not be the Titanic but KU's ship sure has crashed into an iceberg in the NIL era of college hoops. President Trump and Elon Musk sit down for a joint interview that was just incredible to watch. We'll tell you what they said and why it matter...

Social Security Commish Quits, $4.7 Trillion Untraceable, Delta Crash Questions, Royals "Button Up" New Stadium, USA v Canada Again, NBA Tanks

The acting commissioner of Social Security tried to block Elon Musk from getting in and when that didn't work, she quit. Boy does this look bad for her and the whole SS system. It happens on the same day we learn $4.7 trillion is spending has no category on the record and is essentially untraceable. This mess should have been cleaned up years and years ago.

What a spectacle at the Great American Race Sunday as President Trump provides a fly-by and then takes the Beast out on the track as the pace car. It was red, white and blue at its finest. What a show. DOGE never sleeps and Elon Musk has posted some of his findings in our Social Security system. Musk calls it "insane" and says it's like an amazing puzzle.

New Judge Slows Trump, Maddow Should Quit, KC ICE Raid Questioned, Stan Weber Conversation, Song of Week for KC

A brand new judge appointed AFTER Trump won the election has put a temporary halt on stopping USAID foreign aid and this guy shouldn't even be on the bench. Rachel Maddow at MSNBC should call it a career as she only works part time and now has really blown it with a story about Trump and Elon that may get her company sued. An ICE raid in Liberty is being questioned by the left but they aren't even considering the biggest question. Are you safe eating in a restaurant where 12 people are working t...

Trump says he's naming names soon on who spent how much where and if he does, it will be epic. It's all leaving people like Missouri Rep Cleaver, normally the calm one, springing a leak in front of a microphone. Elon claims peopl born 150 years ago are receiving Social Security money and the EPA has found $20 billion that was tossed overboard after Biden lost... just because they could. It's getting wilder every day. Speaking of wild, Pat Mahomes (Sr) is creating a circus around the family as he...

Let's call it a 23 day winning streak for President Trump but unlike sports, it's not just one win each day. We are into the hundreds and hundreds of wins already in the greatest start of any presidency of our lifetime. The latest is a prisoner returned home, turning Gaza into an international resort destination, FEMA firings and catching FBI agents that have turned on their country. Amazing. Oh, and there's full transparency now with our leaders in DC and one House rep says there is a second sh...

Bourbon Street Blues: Eagles Crush Chiefs, Side Shows Are The Show, KU Fans Melt Down Too, Trump on Fox, Best Commercial

There is no second guessing this one. No, "what if's?" The Eagles were so much better than the Chiefs in Super Bowl 59 it was shocking as America watched, and likely cheered, stunned at what they were seeing. The better team won. Easily. Yes, this was always possible just like any game you play. And it's as good of a lesson for the fans as it is the team. The side shows at the game WERE the show because the game was dreadful. Trump jumped in like Trump does and hits Taylor Swift hard. Speaking o...
