I'm Dave Anthony, Fox News. If Iran comes to the table in good faith, that's Vice President Vance's message before he took off this morning for Pakistan where he will lead the U.S. talks. If they're going to try to play us, then they're going to find that the negotiating team is not that receptive. So we're trying to have a positive negotiation. The President has given us some pretty clear guidelines. President Trump posted on TruthSocial last night, Iran's doing a very poor job allowing oil to move through the Strait of Hormuz. His key demand then agreeing to a ceasefire. The talks are tomorrow. So there are three really major issues we're looking at here. That's Iran's support of regional proxies and whether or not they're going to tie the success and outcome of these negotiations to support of Hezbollah. We're also looking at the Strait of Hormuz where since the ceasefire began, anywhere from eight to eleven vessels have been able to pass through. And Israeli intelligence officials tell Fox News the Iranians are demanding fees of those vessels that are making it through this critical waterway. And then finally you have this issue of enriched uranium. Fox's Trey Yenksen Tel Aviv, where Israel's continued attacks on Lebanon remain a big point of contention for Iran. Oil prices are up slightly after Wednesday's big plunge and remain about 50% higher than before the Iran conflict started and that is not the only inflation we have. The consumer price index rose 9 tenths of a percent in March. Core CPI excluding food and energy rose just 2 tenths of a percent. Not as big a jump as expected. Fox's Jinnikasolo, the annual rate of inflation rose to 3.3%. The record-setting Artemis II mission flying around the moon ends tonight. The astronauts will enter the Earth's atmosphere at 25,000 miles an hour in a fireball protected by a heat shield that will slow the spacecraft down and then Fox's Jonathan Sarri reports from the Johnson Space Center. Well, Ryan has a series of parachutes that slow it down from 350 miles an hour free fall to just about 17 to 20 miles per hour by the time it hits the water. That'll be 8.07 PM Eastern time off the coast of San Diego. America's listening to Fox News. KCMO Kansas City, your home for Mundo in the morning. KCHC Ottawa. KCFX HD 2 Harrison Doe, a cumulus media station. From the KCMO newsroom, I'm John Anthony with your 957 KCMO news update. The Kansas City, Missouri City Council narrowly passed an ordinance banning the sale of single shot liquor bottles in what it deems retail alcohol impact areas. The 7 to 6 vote was characterized as a win for residents who have been asking for action by Mayor Lucas. Those designated impact areas include Prospect Avenue Southeast, Independence Avenue, Midtown, Central Business District and Blue Ridge corridors. Meanwhile, Mayor Lucas introduced a proposed $1.9 billion development package for a new stadium at Washington Square Park in which the city would commit up to $600 million through bonding.

You're listening to Mundo in the morning on 957 FM KCMO Talk Radio. Well, every Friday we like to bring a guest into the studio and who better to have on than our good friend Nick Haynes of Kansas City PBS joining us on KCMO Week in Review airing tonight at 7 30. And when I asked Nick on it was before all the crazy drama came down with the Royals. Good morning, Nick. Well, good morning, Pete, but I'm just putting myself on the back this morning because just before we did the program, I saw a child 41 reporting that there's a $1.9 billion deal for a new stadium at Washington Square Park, 600 million from the city. Then Chris Ketz was on the show. Yeah, I just interviewed the mayor. It's going to air tonight. We're doing a whole thing on this. And what I was amazed at as it all unraveled, we got every fact and detail right. That's amazing. But it isn't, you know, we are in this very challenging position, of course, in the jobs that we both do of trying to keep track of this very frenetic, fast paced news cycle. And, you know, it takes a lot. It's mentally fatiguing to keep up with it all. It can be. It can be. But I will say this, you know, obviously, you've got a bigger challenge where you guys are recording your show on Thursday for people that don't know. And then it's airing Friday night. So you could have had to call everybody back today had you not gotten the news exactly when you did yesterday. Yeah. Now, the good news about that would be, I think I would get the guests again because they would be in our crew would have a we'd have a mutiny on our homes when you hear about people taking up pitchforks and things. They would not have liked that. Oh my goodness. Well, listen, it's obviously the latest iteration of what has been just a crazy news cycle with these stadiums. What's what's your sense and what the reaction has been in the wake of yesterday's news? Well, first of all, there are people, of course, because who will say, you know, Santa Claus has come to town, you're going to have those people because they've been asking for downtown baseball, you know, for for decades. And the idea that you can do this plan, and not basically have to demolish build, you know, demolish businesses and homes to do it, which was the case in the crossroads district when we had this fail sales tax vote two years ago. This makes it a much more palatable plan. However, boy, how many details are still totally unknown? It seems and you know, the Royals, are they really committed? I'm just looking at the line from that news release. We look forward to more detailed conversations as we continue solutions that are best for our team. Could they be any more less committal? This was not Clark, Mark Donovan, Laura Kelly in Kansas in December. This was not that at all. Yeah, this this was, hey, we're still interested in other places, folks, if you can put a deal together, you know, $600 million plus $1, perhaps just in the tax incentives, we might come to you yet very much so. And even on the governor's side, you know, he says we're not at the finish line yet, they can be relying on a whole bunch of funding from the state of Missouri. And there are lawmakers and there's only about a month left of the session in Missouri. Now there are lawmakers there who could still, you know, make this a very difficult time for Kansas City trying to land this deal, even though they have this sort of 50% bill that came up that they'd pay 50% of the public funding that would come from state dollars. I'm not sure, you know, whether that would have more pushback today. And looking at what happens now with even members of the city council is hard to believe. How many issues today do you get liberals and conservatives coming together on the same thing? This seems to be one of them. And it certainly happened when we had the stadium tax two years ago, when you had people like the Casey Tenon's group coming together with the Show Me Institute and conservative tax fighters opposing that plan. And similarly on this on the city council, you've got Nathan Willett, the more conservative member of that city council, with a Jonathan Duncan, one of the most progressive members, both coming together to say, you know, we're now going to join with groups to file a petition drive to try and stop this to make sure there is a public vote first. That's an extraordinary ideological battle there and that they're coming together on this one. Well, it is very interesting. And what seems to be a common theme is more, hey, can we at least get a vote on this and let the people have a say that that seems to be the consensus here from some people on city council on the left or the right. But it seems to me the best thing that Kansas City has going for it is that the Royals don't need a vote, which they would have needed in Clay County. And it seems like the Royals have no interest in going through that process again. And that may be worth more than how much money you can actually bring to the table. But again, it doesn't mean there won't be a vote if there was a force to be a petition drive. That does not mean, though, that that would be honored. I mean, you just saw that in Independence, Missouri, where there's an effort to block the data center and a court judge rules that this didn't pertain to this kind of of a deal. We've seen that before. So we have to be wary of that. And then there's the Jackson County piece of the puzzle. Mania Barker, your friend, is now the chair of the Jackson County Legislature, and he said, you know, if they want any Jackson County dollars, which they've been paying towards the sports stadiums now, that would require he would not do that without a public vote. He would not allow any Jackson County dollars to go towards that. Does that make this more complicated? We'll see. Well, if you're talking about half the stadium potentially funded by the state, $600 million redirected from the city. I mean, you're at $1.5 billion of a $2 billion project. You're at 75%. Yes. And all of this, of course, takes place, you know, just basically, you know, so 48 hours after the champagne corks popped on the big win for the earnings tax, and you saw the mayor say, we won, we won. And then all of a sudden, they've got $600 million, even after talking about the panic of, you know, you're not going to get your trash collected, you know, you're not going to shovel your streets. No, police are not going to be able to do their jobs. But, you know, some people say, well, how can they now find $600 million? The mayor says this would not come out of that earnings tax money. Really, this, as you pointed out, is going to be a sort of mix of bonds of what they call the tax increment financing. There would be a district here where sales taxes from that stadium and from the surrounding entertainment district would then pay the city back. So they say it's completely separate. Well, it's all one part of money, though, Nick. I mean, that's what's frustrating. Just listen, I get the reality of what's probably going to happen here, but I just think it's disingenuous how they make the case. It was the same thing in Kansas that's happening now in Kansas City. So I also don't think Mayor Lucas has much of a like to stand on when he criticizes the Kansas Starbond deal. And now he's basically trying to figure out how to do his own version of that for the Royals to keep him in Kansas City. I know this is part of the game, but it's just disingenuous to knock that deal and then suddenly find your own way to do a similar deal. I think what I'd learned behind the scenes was that Mayor Lucas here was trying to force John Sherman's hand. Because we don't know anything about what the Royals think about this yet. Yeah. And so something had to be done. What a legacy project for Mayor Lucas as he winds down the last year of his term. This could be Lucas Stadium, Pete. Oh, no, Nick. Oh, no. We have a Lucas All-In Stadium. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's in Indianapolis. Oh, no. Oh, no. You did not just, oh my gosh, all of Kansas City just cringed on that one. No, you know they're going to sell it too. That's what they're going to get 15 to 20 million a year for the stadium right. So that's how this stuff goes. But you know what was interesting to me too? I woke up to this. There was a statement put out from Kansas House leadership saying we're excited to see the Royals will be remaining in the region with their new proposed location at Washington Square Park. The professional sports teams of the Kansas City region belong to fans and families who support them every season, no matter which side of the state line they call home. So that reads to me as Kansas has really no interest in trying to woo the Royals over their side of the state line. I don't always believe that either. You don't. Because really that's what we saw with the Chiefs and you know, how is this going to, you know, was it going to happen? There seemed to be very little detail and then Christmas week all of a sudden, you got everyone going to Topeka to announce this very thought out deal that nobody seemed to know anything about until that week and it's like boy. So the, yes, the legislature just ended its veto session, the legislative coordinating council that controls the state when the legislature isn't there. Could they still do something? They still have the enabling legislation to make that happen. I would know we're in a period of time where you never know what the next shoe is going to drop it. So I would not in any way rule out the possibility that Kansas still could be in play here. Really? Yes. Okay. All right. You're still intrigued by that Kansas side? Absolutely. Again, because we haven't had a full throated positive response from John Sherman about this proposal and it could be shot down in so many other ways. You know, so we'll have to see. That Clay County site, I think it's a good site, but you think that site's dead because it's got to go to a vote? I wouldn't say that. I think all bets are off when it comes to the state. There's nothing people will not throw at this to try and land this team. There seems to be still an awful lot of holes in this proposal. Even the, you know, a lot of the financing thing is not quite thought out. We, you know, what, how, you know, that's a difficult site to begin with. It's also the topography of it, you know, how can, how is it easy? Is it actually build a stadium there? So I think, and then the city manager has now been charged with negotiating with the Royals on the financing, all of those kinds of aspects. So there's a lot of things that could still go wrong. So I wouldn't say it's a slam dunk. What's the other big news item that you've been following or you think is relevant this week in Kansas City? Well, this was a big election week, and I did find it fascinating to me. The biggest winner was that, you know, a complete political novice in independence who gets the keys to the mayor's office. You know, he was a roofer, former union leader, Kevin King, defeats a very well connected, well known, politically connected former head of the Health Forward Foundation, a respected doctor, and wins the race for independence. And that says something about the data center issue. By the way, I was in Florida this week, we were in Palm County in Boca Raton visiting our son. And one of the Uber drivers, it was kind of interesting because he says to me, Hey, do you have data centers in Kansas City? And it was sort of, wow, of all the things you could pick, but that's becoming such a huge issue. And you know, the hatred of data centers, which would be the one of the thing in independence would be twice the size of our head stadium has become real. And you saw this week also that an independent city, actually, an Indianapolis city councilman, the 13 shots fired in his home after making a decisive vote on a data center there with a note left saying no data centers, you know, this has become a really volatile issue. And that that could have been the issue that propelled someone who got half the votes of his opponent in the primary to win the keys to the city hall in independence. I thought was very significant. You know, I did not think about that one as kind of an underrated story of the week. But that's why we brought you on here, Nick Haines. Nice job. Well done. All right, we're going to take a quick break with Nick Haines, our feature Friday guest Kansas City PBS Week in Review is airing tonight at 7 30. Do not miss it. Always a great show. One of the best shows happening every single week in Kansas City. I want to ask Nick about that trip to Palm Beach and get a sense of what it was like compared to Kansas City. That's all coming up. Coming up at 10 o'clock, it's uncancelled on KCMO Talk Radio right after Pete Mundo and Mundo in the morning. All right, we got a few minutes left with Nick Haines, our feature Friday segment in studio here on KCMO Kansas City PBS Week in Review airing tonight 7 30. Don't miss it. One of the I think it's the best review show. But here's what's funny. Nick, a lot of the local news stations are trying to copy you and go up against Week in Review now. I mean, nine has won five last one. They're all they're all gunning for Week in Review. Imitation is the most sincerest form of flat to repeat. I agree with you. I agree with you. I mean, I think what people like about the program and I'm aware of it, you know, that it is a you get a variety of voices. And so by and large, some of the other stations are doing it are places to just boost their talent and their stories versus hearing from a more robust view of other journalists in our community. That's a very good point. They're doing it for self promotion. You're doing it to get the best content to talk about Kansas City that you can. That's an excellent point. So you were down for Easter weekend. You were down in Boca Raton, Florida. We show you mentioned this right before the break that, you know, you had Uber drivers asking you about Kansas City. They asked about the data center. What else came up in your travels about Kansas City? The most fascinating thing ever. First of all, it was amazing. Now, not a lot of the drivers Uber drivers, but we didn't even bother getting a rental car. It was so expensive there because Florida doesn't have the income tax. They want to suck it to tourists. So for four days, it was going to be like $600 for a rental car. Now, that's not the kind of rental car you would get. You know, your luxury Rolls Royce kind of thing. This was just your standard thing. It was like $600. So we just Ubered the whole time. So you got a lot of drivers who don't say anything to you, but a number of them were very curious and wanted to know, oh, you know, and you're British and you moved to Kansas City. I said, okay, why would you ever move there? You know, and what interesting was one driver said to me, I want you to, I want you to pretend now you're the head of the visitor bureau in Kansas City and tell me why on earth I would want to live there because, you know, we've got year round sunshine here. We got these beaches. We have no income tax and it's an incredibly safe community. And so it's a sort of, you know, I want you, once you strip away the sports teams and what you know, your connection with barbecue and you can say the World War One Museum or the Truman Library or the Eisenhower Museum, just in Abilene there, you know, it's a sort of, when you work it out that way, it's becomes a little more challenging. But you say we love living here. One of the things about Kansas City, which would always be great, which you say is the, you know, how affordable it is, but that's also changing. That's changing. Absolutely. It's changing. And people are feeling that every day. And that's your listeners to the show. You know, the cost of housing is not what it used to be. Everything is costing so much more. So we're losing a lot of our advantage in the affordability component of living here too. We still have the, I think, much better traffic than many larger metro areas. A more easy to navigate city and metro area. That would be my big thing. You get a lot of the big city quality with less, not none, but less of the big city nonsense. That would still be a push. And the affordability is problematic, but it still is a lot worse in places like Denver, Dallas, or South Florida, certainly. And you could just go to a bold park, a brand new bold park downtown and just park your car easily and get into the stadium. Please, no, that's not go there. Okay. Now, how did you handle, listen, Boca Raton, Florida. My wife is from Long Island, New York. And Boca Raton is known as the retirement destination for many people in suburban New York City. And it has a very heavy Jewish presence as well. I know, you know, your wife is, but it's culturally, it's very different in terms of how people stylistically approach driving, shopping, eating, everything's different. How did you deal with that? I will have to say the vibe. Yes, it is nice. You're right near the beach and the weather is very pleasant. And, but there is a certain hollowness I thought to the vibe. And the, you know, east coasters have a very, you know, they're much more insular. Yes. So you feel a little bit more invisible there in a sense. Nobody says hi to you or nobody talks to you on the street or you know, you're, I was thinking, even at the, we were at a hotel, nobody even says anything you had breakfast. I can't imagine any hotel we'd go to, even in Iowa, never mind Kansas City, anywhere around here, in which people just don't want to somehow have any conversation or engagement with you. So in that sense, you feel very invisible. The, that East Coast abrasive vibe is very present there. This was in Palm County, by the way, which was also, we took a little tour there on the water and they're pointing out Bernie Madoff's old house. So this was, this was his stalking grounds. Never mind where, you know, he lived there in Palm County, but that's where he got a lot of his clients from. How about that? No, there's an enormous amount of money. You said you saw 14 year olds driving Maserati's. Is that right? Oh yeah. There was 14, 15 year olds you saw, you know, that we, the most souped up, you know, like the hundred thousand dollar pickup trucks with everything on them, you know, again, with a very young kid driving that. The other thing was interesting, you know, you go out to a restaurant, nobody's wearing like sports shirts. Everybody is dressed to kill, you know, even kids to go anywhere, which was kind of an interesting deal, but it's about being seen and any display of wealth is to be congratulated there in Boca. Well, it's become, especially COVID really expedited it. The Wall Street South basically is what that whole region has turned into and it's got that very New York feel. And, you know, I know the West coast of Florida is typically where more Midwesterners seem to retire, the, you know, Fort Myers area. But that East coast, you were right in the hub of really, you know, New York City South. Now, another tie in there to you, if you talk with folks there, why they live there, as well as, obviously, got the beach and the warm temperatures, it is safe. And that's all you heard. It is safe. I've never seen so many gated communities there than anywhere I've ever been. And they were asking questions about that, you know, how is Kansas City, you know, what's the motor rate in Kansas City? And he said, well, it is on the high side, you know, and they were bucking the trend, you know, when other cities were going down. Exactly. I bet you have prosecutors there who just let people out. And that's why we left New York. So I don't know. So we got a lot of people who also have left other places because of those types of policies. And they find themselves in places like Florida and increasingly in Texas. Yes, that's an excellent point. Well, listen, it's a beautiful part of the country. It's, like you said, culturally very different. But they've got their charm as well. There's no doubt about it. And just like you have your charm, Nick Haynes, we appreciate you coming in on a rainy Friday morning and joining us on KCMO. Happy to be with you. Appreciate you. Thank you, Pete, for the invitation. All right, Nick Haynes on KCMO. Hi, I'm Joe Salci. I host of the Stacking Benjamin's podcast. You know what? A lot of us get Texas wrong.
