At least 18 cases of Legionaire's disease have been reported on Manhattan's Upper East Side as the outbreak continues to grow. City Comptroller Mark Levin says that public health officials are investigating a community cluster that stems from a cooling tower, not a water system.

We'll be taking a look at some land returned from the state of California. And, oh, boy, a man in Florida had a tussle with a critter. It will tell you about. And as we get things going on your Tuesday morning commute, we'll take a look at the weather forecast here in the first week of July from Storm Team 12. That's all coming up.

After a terrifying alligator attack in his own backyard, James McMicken credits his survival to his quick thinking and the help of his bulldog. James McMicken suffered injuries to his leg but is expected to survive after a large alligator pulled him into a canal while he was fishing from his backyard in North Fort Myers.

The 71-year-old managed to fight off the gator by jamming his fishing pole and thumb into its eyes. McMicken credits his hunting experience for giving him the know-how to fight off the large reptile. As the gator swam away, Mick Mickin's bulldog helped him out of the water and to his feet. Tom Graham, Fox News. How about that? That is one tough bulldog. That's... Good to have him on your side. I mean, talk about. I mean, I got tough dogs. I don't know how many of them would be willing to fight off a gator. Help you out of the water after that and count. It is 610 here on this Tuesday morning, July 7th. And as you get your traffic commute underway here on this Tuesday morning, Chad Chambers. We'll keep you updated on traffic conditions all morning long, Chad. Right now, things in traffic are looking good. The traffic conditions are nice. We don't have a whole lot of traffic volumes out there. Nothing slowing anything down on the highways here in the Wichita area. So things so far are looking fairly good out there. Traffic update from 987 and 1330KNS. The Accident Recovery Team Traffic Center. I'm Jed Chambers. Now let's take a look at our weather forecast. Here we get into this Tuesday. Storm Team 12 meteorologist Jake Dunn. Good morning, Jake. Good morning. Mainly sunny and hot today, high 93, southeast breeze 5 to 15 miles per hour. Clear and comfortable tonight. Upper 60s should do it for the low. Mostly sunny and even hotter on Wednesday, high 96. We'll see a couple of storms late Wednesday night. Better chance of storms on Thursday night, otherwise partly cloudy and continued hot. Thursday's high, 97. That's your forecast from Storm Team 12. I'm meteorologist, Jake Dunn. And currently in Wichita, we do have a partly sunny sky. It is 73 degrees here on this Tuesday. Wichita's severe weather station, 987 and 1330, KNSSS. It is 611 here on this Tuesday morning with Woodward and Witt. We're very glad that you are with us today. It was 80 years ago on this day that the Carter's got married. Jimmy and Rosalind Carter got married 80 years ago on this day. He would become the president of the United States. She became first lady. You know, we are often, you know, Wichita is the air capital of the world. Oh, yeah. And we, you know, we built all those airplanes for World War II and just kept doing it throughout the 50s and during the Cold War. Still the air capital. Yeah, exactly. You know, we also at one point after the war, we were making a bunch of airplanes and we were making a bunch of airplanes. Wheelbarrows. I did not know that. I kind of didn't either. It was 80 years ago on this day, the general wheelbarrow company purchased by a group of Wichita businessman. The entire factory was in Cleveland, Ohio, and they moved it here. Production rate, new wheelbarrows, they were making 500 a day. Wheelbarrow. So at one point, Wichita was the wheelbarrow capital of the world after the war. Okay. So, yeah, how about that? The company's new factory here was in the 700 block of East 10th Street. Okay. Huh. So right after the war, we were building airplanes and wheelbarrows. And, of course, now the majority of the world's wheelbarrows are made in China. But at one point, Wichita was right there at that, too. Making wheelbarrows. Exactly. But that was long ago right after the war. Hey, Pringles.

Pringles is always looking for the next new thing. I love Pringles. I mean, they're in the circular can. They're all stacked up in very uniform shape. It's one of those chips you can't just eat one. Pringles will now be selling flavored hot dog buns in Pringles cans. How do you... This is not a joke. How do you... It's a limited edition stunt as Pringles is trying to celebrate National Hot Dog Day, which is coming up later in the month. Introducing Pringle's Pop Dog Buns. Tired of sad, bland hot dog buns that make eating glissies a drag. Wish they were infused with the delicious flavor of Pringles Crisps. Wish no more. There's sour cream and onion, barbecue, and honey mustard. Grab them today and Bunmax your summer. Maybe. All right. I'd be curious how many are going to be in a can. Unless it's a big can, they'd probably only get three, maybe, stacked end-to-end. So that's what Pringles is doing to try to keep your summer fun right there. A hot dog bun in a can. Maybe you might be able to get three end-to-end, maybe. But interesting. It doesn't appeal to me at all. I don't know. I don't think I'd really like a sour cream and chive hot dog bun. Yeah, I'm good. Yeah, or the dusty, cheesy one. No. I do like Pringles, but I don't know about it. You know, the only Pringles I even can tolerate are the plain ones. Any of their flavors are not good. Really? I like Prinkles. Prinkles are good. I like the chips. It's interesting. I don't know how well the buns are going to do, but, hey, you know, whatever. You got to try. This is some marketing guy came up with an idea, throw it against the wall and see what sells. Or in this case, what doesn't sell, but what gets talked about. Exactly. They got free advertising out of it. That's, you know, hey, give it a try. Got some good birthdays today. Okay. Figure skater, Olympic silver medalist, Michelle Kwan. Oh, sure. Six today. How about funny man, Jim Gaffigan, comedian? He is funny. 60 today. Gally. Celebrating, of course, saw him at the Interest Bank Arena. Really? Last time he came through town. And the birthdays just even keep getting bigger. How about Ringo Star? Ah. How about one of the two remaining living Beatles? I was going to say, yeah, one of the originals. Ringo Star, the drummer for the Beatles, is 86 today. Paul and Ringo. Peace and love. Ringo is 86. And... Doc Severinson is 99. The Tonight Show. The trumpet player, band leader on Johnny Carson's Tonight Show for a quarter century. He left the show when Johnny did in the early 90s. That's right. Doc is still with us. He is 99 today. Of course, Doc would always wear the very colorful outfits. Oh, yeah, the jacket. Johnny would kind of look over at him and do a double take.

It's funny. And, of course, when Ed was out, Doc would kind of sit in as the number two guy and do all that. So there you go. Happy birthday to Doc Severnson. He is 99 years old today. And, you know, a lot of our audience probably still remember Doc Severinson on the tonight. Some do. Some, yeah, I would think so. The, of course, I mean. That show hasn't been on the air in 35 years, which blows me away. Yeah. At one point, the cultural touchstone nightly television for entire nation. I mean, people would sit in bed or sit up and watch the Tonight Show Johnny Carson. I mean, that was a legendary. Days are so long gone. A lot of parents have a checklist of things he'll need for their newborn baby. We've got another one now. Oh, good. What about reserving the kid's email address? Oh. No. Parents may now reserve a proton mail address for a child and keep it sealed. No inbox, no activity logs, no profiling. They can keep it for up to 15 years until the kid is a teenager and actually ready to use it. Why? That's a great question. Why would you need that? Nothing stopping you from using Gmail or Outlook, but it'll likely get jam-packed with junk mail, another junk to be tracked and could even be deleted if it's left dormant for too long. So that's what Proton is selling here. Based in Switzerland uses end-to-end and zero access encryption to guarantee private accounts. You claim your kid's email address. They send you a voucher for them to activate it many, many years down the road. They just want a $1 donation to cover the service to prevent fraud. So if you want to get your kid an email, even the kid that's still in the crib, you can do it. Right. Sounds like a waste of a dollar to me. But, you know, I've heard of other, you know, useless ways to spend a dollar. So I guess, why not? You know, I'm sure there are people that will do it. Oh, I'm sure they'll find some customer base for it. Sure, why not? People will spend all kinds of stuff on their kids. 16 here with Woodward and Witt on this Tuesday morning, July 7th. Let's see what's going on in sports. Sports is brought to you by SertaPro Painters. Sure to schedule your free estimate online at surtapro.com. Well, World Cup Soccer, our fever pitch here in the United States has certainly been dampened after last night's game in the round of 16, a team USA taking on Belgium. Fox Sports Update, the FIFA World Cup. The Lupaku on the loose ball. The exclamation point for Belgium. On Fox TV, 93rd minute goals sealed the end of the ride for the United States men's national team, beaten in Seattle by Belgium 4 to 1. It's going to be a hard one to stomach for this team. The coaches, the fans, everybody involved with U.S. soccer in this country, but be proud of what this team has accomplished over the last couple of weeks. On Fox TV, second time in 12 years, the U.S. lost on the round of 16 to Belgium, which advanced to play Spain, Friday, and the quarterfinals, all three host nations of the World Cup. The United States, Mexico, and Canada all lost in the round of 16 on their home soil. Earlier, Spain eliminated Portugal and Cristiano Ronaldo won nothing.

12 noon Eastern today on Fox, Leon O'Messie and Argentina take on Egypt. I'm Jared Max. All right, so there's what's going on at the World Cup here in North America. Team USA is out. Minor League Baseball, the Wichita Wind Surge. There are just tons of home games here in the month of July. 18 of 21 games in a stretch here are home games for the surge. After a day off yesterday, back at it for another six days at home, hosting Northwest Arkansas, the AA affiliate of the Kansas City Royals, the former Wichita Rangler.

Major League Baseball, the Kansas City Royals, yesterday finishing up a homestand, an afternoon game, a rare Monday afternoon game, taking on one of the top seven teams in the big leagues, the Philadelphia Phillies. This one was a blowout. All Royals. Tyler Tolbert, who lines one into left center field for a hit. Keep running. Just keep running. He's going to stop it first. Come on. You got to keep going, don't you? He was a triple shy of the cycle, but he'll have to settle for a five-for-five game. That's excellent. But, man, you've got to keep running. It's 13-1, Tyler Tolbert. Come on. How many chances are you going to have as a big leaguer to have a shot at the cycle? Just keep running and see what happens. Pribb is in Tolbert's case. Probably has more chances at a cycle than a five-hit game. Mm-hmm. The Royals went at 15 to 1 yesterday afternoon. Take that series from the Phillies. By the way, the Royals scored in every inning. Six in the first, and then one, one, one, one, one, two, two. scored in every inning. How about that? That's how you pile up 15 runs right there. Of course, you heard the game yesterday on 975 and 1240, KFH. Now the Royals hit the road for the week, heading to the East Coast. First up, the three-game series in New York against the last place in New York Mets. Live coverage, Royals Mets, 5.30 p.m. That's over on KF.H.

First ever National Base Congress World Series, and the big star was Satchel Paige, pitching for the Bismarck-Churchills.

Of course, Hap Dumont paid to have them come here because he wanted a big star here in Wichita for that first tournament. Satchel Page was that. Dazzling crowds at Lawrence Stadium. 60 strikeouts in the four games to lead his team to the championship. Satchel Page eventually called Kansas City home and still visited Wichita. He played in the NBC World Series three more times over his career, the last time in 1960, when he was 54 years old. And, of course, Satchel was inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. There's something you don't get every day. Some Satchel Page audio. What makes it so good is the fellow here who started this rumor about my age when I went to Cleveland, 1948. They said I was 65 when I went third in. They got a little confused, and they had it all on the street calls. If anybody gets Satchel Page Age, we'll give them a farm, we'll give them a... But as I made the little poem, don't never look back, something may be gaining on you. That was the only thing who would help me up in baseball make me keep going. Satchel Page. Hall of Famer New York Yankees legend Joe DiMaggio said Satchel Page was the best and fastest pitcher I ever faced. He was born 120 years ago today. Satchel Page.

In Provo, Utah, Claudia Cowan, Fox News. On the semi-Quincennial of the United States on July 4th, Wichita Mayor Lily Wu got a unique experience. On Saturday, I had the opportunity to read alongside the narrator the whole Declaration of Independence at Cowtown. So that was really, really neat. It was very hot, as you remember from Saturday. So I thought my phone was going to possibly blow up. But no, it did not. It was fine. Wu, appearing on Mondays with the mayor on K&S with Woodward and Witt. President Trump marks the opening of market-linked savings accounts for kids by ringing the stock market bell. Trump accounts backed with a one-time $1,000 federal investment are now operational, tied to the stock market, like millions of retirement funds.

President Trump marked the occasion by ringing the opening bell of the New York Stock Exchange and NASDAQ.

The accounts were established in the one big beautiful bill and have drawn additional donations from dozens of corporations. I want to tell you about a new podcast from Odyssey called Family lore.

Officials are trying to get to the bottom of what happened, translating from Spanish, the electrical union of Cuba posted on social media. A total disconnection of the national electric power system is occurring. The causes are being investigated. Today's blackout comes in the middle of intense summer heat.

A delivery from a Russian tank. banker back in March ran out before the end of April. A blackout in May affected the eastern portion of Cuba, and that was just two months after another blackout, which affected the entire island. And that's Fox's Jonathan Seri with that report. An Arizona toddler who was declared dead following a near drowning incident was found alive hours later in a hospital morgue, sparking massive investigations. The 18-month-old boy was found floating in a pool during a Super Bowl party last February after wandering away from his parents, who admitted to being under the influence of marijuana at the time. The boy was given life-saving measures at the home and then taken to a hospital where he received further treatment. The boy was declared dead, except he wasn't. He was found breathing in the hospital morgue several hours later and transferred to a second hospital. The Gilbert, Arizona police are now recommending that negligence charges be filed against the parents. The Maricopa County Attorney's Office is now reviewing the case. Kevin Ureskes, Fox News.

So it's time to put on your dancing shoes. The history of rock and roll began in the late 1930s from African American music containing... combinations of jazz, rhythm and blues, gospel, and country music. By the 40s, instruments like the saxophone and piano were added to the sound, intensifying the appeal. It wasn't until the 50s that rock and roll hit the mainstream music scene, causing a social shift in society.

National Day of Rock and Roll explores the impact this musical genre had throughout history. When we think of the early years of rock and roll, we obviously think of, you know, we think of Elvis Presley or Chuck Bari Weiss. Many adults, of course, during the music area, reviewed rock and roll rather as appalling and disgusting, saying that it was going to corrupt their kids listening to Rockman young people. were rejecting their parents' beliefs. Elvis actually received credit for making rock and roll what it is today. Then, of course, in 64 came four mophead kids called The Beatles, who were actually credited as being the most influential rock band of all time. Radio became a factor. Alan Freed is the first DJ to become widely known for popularizing rock and roll. His stage name was Moondog, and he is actually credited with being the first to play rock and roll on the radio. So today is National Rock and Roll Day. My question for you, Tom, is are you a fan of rock and roll? And if so, what's your favorite rock song? Gosh, that's a tough question. I get confused exactly what classifies as rock and roll. I guess I've always thought a lot of that was the music back in the 50s and maybe some into the 60s, but I'm just a little confused of what it really includes. But do you like classic rock? Like, for example, on my Sunday show. My theme song is Carry On Wayward Sun, a little classic Kansas hit. So I'm a classic rock fan. So that was where I would go. I like that. I like a little classic rock. Yeah. I guess when you look at it, I like a lot of the music out of the 60s and 70s more than anything. Me too. That's where I go. I love the classic rock era, the 60s, 70s. 50s is a little beyond me. I love that classic rock. It's the 80s, but I'm a kid of the 80s. I went to high school in the 80s, so I like 80s rocks. That's kind of where I fall. And I like a lot of Motown, too. Oh, okay. Yeah, Motown's good, too. So we're kind of, we're all kind of old rock guys. So Ted, what's your favorite of rock? You like good classic rock? Oh, of course. Jad, what are you, are you a classic rock guy? For the most part, yeah, although I consider classic a little bit later than. Maybe you guys do. I'm kind of thinking like, you know, late 80s, early 90s is sort of my thing. Like, I mean, I love Zizi Top. That's another. I love Zizi. Aerosmith. You know, that's my, my. genre right there. And mine's more like Sound Garden and Stone Temple Pilots, that sort of thing. Oh, okay. I don't know the first one, but I know Stone Temple Pilots. I've never heard of either one of them. Tom's sitting there thinking, yeah, I like, you know, Zoot, Suit Riot maybe. He probably doesn't know what I'm talking about there. So, you know, all right. Well, Tom, you say you go get yourself some lunch and listen to a little classic rock today because it's National Day of Rock and Roll, my friend.

We'll do. All right, brother. That was Tom Kelly Loeffler with our commodities update. Nothing says rocking like the commodities update. There we go. Hey, it is 645 here with Woodward and Whit. Hey, we'll look back yesterday and see what happened on the stock market. We'll get a World Cup soccer review. And there are concerns about Americans being flooded from overseas with disinformation. Find out more about that. It's coming up next. 98, 7 and 1330, KNS. It's 649 with Ted Woodward and John Whitmire on 987 and 1330 KNSS. Now it's time for three big things. Team USA falls to Belgium in World Cup round of 16 after dismal defensive performance. Two. Democrat Adam Hamilton says his U.S. Senate campaign raised $3.66 million in its first two months. potentially setting a Kansas record for an opening Senate fundraising period. Nurses at Ascension Via Christie in Wichita have gone on strike, drawing significant local attention amid ongoing safety concerns and labor disputes. That's three big things with Woodward-N-Witt on 987 and 1330 KMSS. Let's take a look at traffic with Chad Chambers. The traffic volume is definitely getting heavier here in Wichita, starting to notice that on the highways as I take a look in one of the heavier traffic areas that I'm seeing right now. Once again, that road construction northbound K-15 approaching I-135. A lot of traffic in the area right now. Traffic Update from 987 and 1330 KNSSS. The Accident Recovery Team Traffic Center. I'm Chad Chambers. Mostly sunny today with a high of 93 degrees. Tonight, clear, the low of 70 degrees. Tomorrow, mostly sunny, some isolated storms overnight and a high of 96 degrees. Right now in Wichita, it's clear and 73 degrees at Wichita's Severe Weather Station, 987 and 1330 KMSS. 651 here on this Tuesday, July 7th, there are concerns about foreign adversaries using sophisticated social media campaigns trying to flood Americans with disinformation. America's foreign enemies exploit viral conspiracies online, but now they are creating them out of thin air. We saw it happen in real time during the White House correspondent's dinner. As the event came under attack, bots surged across social media. It began with claims the attack was staged. It grew into a narrative about the White House colluding with media to cover it up. There's a clear consensus now among experts like Daniel Beiman that the worst actors by far are China and Russia.

This is hard to guard against, given that so many Americans consume their news from social media. State Department spokesperson Tommy Piggott says they have a new bureau to push back on foreign enemies using AI against Americans. We have a lot of tools in our toolbox, but one that we're not going to use is censorship. We're going to use tech innovation. We're going to use cooperation with partners. We're going to call it out when we see it. With Fox on Tech, Jillian Turner, Fox News. All right, the end of the line at the World Cup for Team USA. Here's a World Soccer Championship Recap. Brought to you by Lowe's. Members get more at Lowe's and by the first ever Infinity QX65. The United States is out of the tournament after a 4-1 loss to Belgium and Seattle. The lone bright spot was another Malik Tillman goal off a set piece in the 31st minute, but the USA conceded what turned out to be the game-winning goal two minutes later. Belgium advances to the quarterfinals to face Spain. I'm Mike Conte. And let's take a look back yesterday and see what happened on the stock market. I'm Seth Soutelle and this is the AP Market Support. Stocks closed higher on Wall Street with some help from a rebound in AI-related stocks. The S&P 500 rose 7 tenths of a percent Monday, gains for several big AI stocks, including Chipmaker Broadcom, outweighed losses and other parts of the market.

Did anyone say you the birthday? Did anyone say you the birthday? No. Did you get any of that? Okay. Well, it's a Gen Z. Apparently it's a Gen Z thing. You, the birthday. New viral phrase, you the birthday. Popping up in TikTok. Ah. Just like the 6-7 meme, the phrase seems to have sprung out of the internet out of absolutely nowhere and embedded itself into the Gen Z vocabulary overnight. I'm sorry I missed that. Nobody knows where it started. Nobody cares. Maybe the 2025 song birthday girl from rapper Huncho. Never heard of... Him or her? What does it mean? Like a lot of these things, it can either be an insult or a compliment. Nor do they probably know. Calling someone the birthday could be accusing them of suffering from main character syndrome like someone trying too hard or expecting birthday-like attention from everyone in the room. Or it could be a compliment used to describe a person who's the whole vibe, someone who lights up a room and brings so much energy and joy that you just can't look away.

And there's already spin-off phrases like you, the funeral, and you the belated birthday. Ah, Gen Z. Keeping us on our toes. Ah, Gen Z. Yeah. You the birthday.

States across the country saw steep drops in the number of people covered by Obamacare during the past year, with Oklahoma and Ohio, each losing nearly one-third of enrollees. That's according to new federal data that provides the first complete 50-state breakdown of sharp enrollment declines following the January expiration of enhanced subsidies. An AP analysis of the data finds that Oklahoma and Ohio each saw a more than 32% decline in Affordable Care Act enrollment over the past year. They lost larger shares of their overall population than any other state. Following closely behind and losing more than a fourth of their enrollees were eight more states, including Missouri.

Research published in JAMA Network Open finds Americans are moving beyond the traditional multivitamin in favor of more targeted supplements. Researchers from Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health analyzed National Health Survey data spanning 1999 through 2023. Overall supplement use climbed from 51 to 60% while multivitamin use slipped slightly. Instead, more people are choosing products like magnesium, zinc, turmeric. And vitamin D, with the biggest increase among adults 65 and older. Researchers say the trend reflects growing interests in supplements aimed at specific health concerns rather than the all-in-one approach. Geology-lossi, Fox News. Move over Moby Dick.

See, you know, we talked about, you know, Gen X, Millennials and some of the things that they do. So there's a new survey out that basically makes fun. doesn't rather, redeems, shall we say, what they call, quote, old person habits. And they say that these are, quote, old person habits you used to mock, but now you realize that they're actually the best. Oh, well. So, and as I was going through these things, I thought here, okay, I kind of do some of these things. So let's see here. Probably right with you. Yeah. Like, um. You know, here's one. Wear your pants at your nipples. I don't do that one. But you know some of these old guys that wear their pants all the way up past their stomach, you know, really high. I don't do that. The Jerry Nadler look, you know what I'm talking about. They're really high way up over their stomach. I don't do that one. Call it the YouTube. You know, you know those people. The internet. Yes, exactly. Or the interweb. The interweb. The interweb, yes. Text in all caps. Yeah, that's an old. Yes. That's an older person. Now, I will occasionally all cap something if I'm trying to make an emphasis. Well, that's different. But that, no, they text everything in all caps. Grown getting out of a chair and grown getting into a chair. Constantly. Oh, I do. I do that too occasionally. I spend half my day doing. Yes. Now, that I do is like, as I'm getting in and out of a chair. Now, that may just be because, you know, I'm getting a little older. Yeah. But I do notice I do that. drive into a crowded farmer's market. And, and, yeah, I don't know. I've never done that one. But these are, so, well, you know, that's, that's, that's a long, that's more along the lines of how people will just drive forever to get that closest parking spot. Oh, yeah. That is true. Oh, man. Yes. That bugs me so much. I just, I drive into a parking lot. I see an open spot. I don't care how far is the way. I take that spot. Yes. Now, now, here's some that these are the things that they mock, okay? Okay. Now, here are the ones that they say, these are the old folks, you know, old guys things that are actually the best things that old folks do, okay? Staying home on weekends. I actually love doing that. I do too. I love, now, you know, they used to mock these things and now you go, wait a minute. I love staying home on a weekend. Rarely, because I have to do a Sunday show, and lately I've been busy as heck, but I love doing that. Not wasting anything. We find that, you know, hey, don't throw that out. We can use that. I find that I'm doing that more and more these days. Although that's how you become a hoarder. Well, that is true. Okay, that's a good point. Listening to music at a normal volume. I used to love blasting music.

You know, listening, now I enjoy listening at a comfortable volume. Have you noticed that? I don't know if you do that. Oh, yeah, I'm not a blaster. Yeah, I used to. But now it's like, I don't mind listening to it at a normal, going to bed earlier. I kind of have to now. But back in the day, I mean, I would stay up till one in the morning. Now, obviously, because of our schedule. But, or here's another one. I never would take a nap. Now, I love my nap. I can't survive without a series of naps. Yes. Now I have to have my nap. I mean, granted, it's because you and I both get up so early because our schedule is what it is. But I got to be honest with you, that afternoon nap? I love my nap. Remember when you were in kindergarten and you got out your little rug and you took that 13 minute nap? That was great. It is so funny how much I really value and need my nap. Okay, now this one I don't have. Drinking prune juice. I don't drink prune juice. No, not a fan of prune juice. Never have been a fan of prune juice. But. eating an early dinner. Nothing is better than going out to dinner at five. I do that. My wife and I do. Beat the crowd. Yes. And that is why. It's never busy. And you do. You do beat the ground. Yes. Okay. Here's the real question. Okay. Have you graduated to the point where you like tapioca yet? I actually do like tapioca pudding. Yes, I do like tapioca pudding. There it is. You might be old. Well, okay, so my mother was still teaching yoga in her 80s. She was still at the YMCA teaching yoga. So I believe that age is just a stay in mind. Yeah. So I don't think I'm old. I'm not old. I mean, granted, I just turned. 58, but I'm not old. Well, I think age is just a state of mind. And again, for me, that tapioca scale is just, I don't like tapioca yet. I imagine at some point I'll be old enough that I really start to like tapioca. I like, I'm always, oh, here's another one, getting off social media. My wife's completely off social media. Not easy to do. I like social media, but I know people that are, I get off it, you know, and like take a hiatus from social media. I can't. I've never been on social media. Yeah, you're a rarity. And, you know, my wife got off it and doesn't miss it. But, you know, so there you go. There's some, these are the list of things that old person habits you used to mock, but now you realize they're the best. So interesting ones. Very good. Interesting. No, we're not old. No. Again, it's all state of mind. Is that what it is? Is that why I groan when I get out of a chair? Well, it's more than a state of mind.

Elon Musk's artificial intelligence and rocket company will be joining the Tech Heavy Index ahead of the opening bell. The move comes just weeks after SpaceX's record-breaking IPO and follows new rules that aim to include newly public mega-cap companies sooner to the index. If investors hold some funds tied to the NASDAQ 100, they most likely will end up exposed to SpaceX, whether they like it or not. Mutual and exchange traded funds with a collective $800 billion in assets track the index. And these funds were exposed.

CDC reports a rapid spread to historic highs, 76 cases last year. Like Lyme disease, it's primarily transmitted to humans through an infected deer tick or woodchuck tick. But unlike Lyme disease, which is an infectious bacterial illness, antibiotics are no help against Powassan, which is a virus with no vaccine. Rapid transmission, 15 minutes. Fever, headache, vomiting, and weakness. Some may be asymptomatic, but progress to severe neurological effects, inflammation of the brain, meningitis, confusion, seizures, and for 10% death. Teresa Crowley. Fox News. A video of a parking lot shooting at a Florida Walmart continues to make the rounds with people demanding to know if the state's stand-your-ground self-defense law protects the shooter. The sheriff's office in Broward County, Florida, the Fort Lauderdale area, is still investigating the matter, but it appears to have been a dispute over a parking spot, ending when a woman draws her firearm and shoots a 62-year-old man, a veteran to death. She doesn't flee the scene, but she talks with police. She has yet to be charged with crimes, and some are saying she had every reason to defend herself under the state's standard ground law. But that law requires she be in reasonable fear for her life. The man identified as Bart de Gugliemmo was elderly and unarmed. Eben Brown Fox News. 735 here on this Tuesday, July 7th. Let's check our weather forecast. Storm Team 12 meteorologist Jake Dunn. Good morning, Jake. Good morning, mainly sunny and hot today, high 93, southeast breeze 5 to 15 miles per hour.

It is 736 on a Tuesday, which means it's time for our Tuesdays with the chair segment with Cedric County Commission Chair Jeff Blubaw. And, of course, that segment is brought to you by the Wichita Parkaderm Club. Commissioner, thank you for joining us. It's a pleasure to have you with us this morning, my friend. Morning, gentlemen. How's it going? Pretty good. You know, you live, I know, my grandmother would say a hop, skip, and a jump from me. And if you did what my wife and I did, standing out on our porch, we got a heck of a view Saturday. How was your fourth?

I ran out to the ranch with the dogs because our great Pyrenees and our colleagues were just going crazy. So wife and the kids had a bunch of fireworks. They did them all here in the cul-de-sac, and I ran off with the dogs out to keep them going crazy. See, our Pyrenees didn't mind it. Our Pyrenees slept through the whole thing. He didn't really, they're not that bothered by it. I mean, a little bit of barking, but. You missed a heck of a show out in our street there. Yeah, I heard it was, I mean, I was talking to my wife on the phone. It was nonstop. Did you do anything fun over the 4th of July weekend? Oh, no, no, not really. Just try to do a little catch up on work. I did do three parades, I guess, on Saturday. Went through the Hayesville parade and then went down there with Cindy Howardton and went through the Derby parade and the Mulvane parade for Jim Hals. So I did get in a little parade walking. Well, and I was going to ask you, I knew that Hayesville just celebrated their 75th, correct? Yes, yeah, we had a great celebration down there Friday. Opened up a time capsule with Mayor Russ Kessler. It was a pretty neat deal. Had Senator Marshall there and Congressman Estes and Representative Howardton, had a good group there. I saw that some of the pictures from that event. It looked like they had a pretty good crowd down there in Haysville to celebrate their. It was a room full. They gave everybody a hot dog. And it was just a great, great opportunity to celebrate Haysville. See, and next time they do that, Ted, they can have Pringle-flavored buns for their hot dogs. Jeff, you guys had the en banc last week. Once you kind of, I mean, with anything come of it, I know you do these quarterly, correct? We do. And a lot of it, as I've said before, it's just a community discussion. And we wanted to talk about homelessness. You know, I've had a lot of constituents and business owners and religious leaders down there in a 47th and Broadway area. And I'm just kind of frustrated with some of the crime and things going on down there and just wanting a little bit more enforcement. And we had some discussions about, you know, if we do start some stronger enforcement. What's that look like for the county? You know, we don't have a lot of camping going on in the county right now, according to Sheriff Easter. But, you know, if enforcement starts, this could bleed over to the end of the county. So we're looking at do we need a camping ordinance for Sedgwick County? And whenever we say Sedgwick County, we're talking about the unincorporated areas. So outside of any city, outside of Wichita, outside of Haysville.

you know, places on the river. We've got a lot of bridges out in the county. I mean, is that something we need to look at? And is that something that the county is thinking of enforcing or starting? Well, we've got, we're having the discussions right now about if we did move forward with an ordinance, what would that look like? And I think it, you know, it is an issue and it's not trying to punish people, but it's also trying to make sure, in part, that folks are safe. As Commissioner Howell said, it's out of love. It really is. I mean, we shouldn't allow people to live in some of these conditions, you know. And according to the city ordinance with the city of Wichita, you know, they changed that ordinance in 24 to where they can only enforce camping as long as they have available shelter beds. Right. And I think right now they're limited on those shelter beds. And, you know, I don't know if a county ordinance would look like that or not. You know, we'd have to figure out, you know, what exactly you're going to do to enforce and how you're going to do that. Well, and safety always an issue. I think aren't we getting more sheriff's deputies, the commissioned academy spring class? We are, but I don't think any of the sheriff's deputies are doing anything to enforce camping right now because they wouldn't enforce it within the incorporated areas. I think they've got a new graduating class coming up, isn't it? Next week, that new class graduates. Yep, yep, yep, yeah, I got an email on that. I think we have those a couple times a year, and I've went to several those in the past. It's exciting, you know, whenever they've went through all their training and go out there and release a new group of deputies. It's a great atmosphere to be around. Yeah, of course, there was not too far ago. We were talking about horrible staffing levels. Sedgwick County and the sheriff's deputies, and I know that I think you increased pay a little bit, and that got things rolling again. Are we pretty good on staffing levels now? Yeah, I think the commission's done a great job. Overall, you know, we had EMS, we had dispatch, we had sheriff's departments. We had a lot of our different departments right at that were down. I think at one time, you know, they were looking at 65, 70 percent, and now I think they're all in the 90s to high 90s in our staffing levels. So Cedric County's done a great job in getting those staffing levels up to where we need to be. Well, and that leads to, like you said, the next graduating class I think is coming up here. The commissioned academy is next week. Well, Jeff, we appreciate you joining us as you do every Tuesday. And we'll check in with you next Tuesday for Tuesdays with the chair. We appreciate you joining us, my friend.

Find out who that is coming up. 987 and 1330, KNSS. 748 with Ted Woodward and John Whitmire on 987 and 1330 KMSS. Our Wichita Business Journal update is coming up, but first is time for three big things. Three. Neighbors and U.S. allies expressed strong concern after China conducted a rare, long-range submarine-launched ballistic missile test. Hundreds of thousands of people have poured into the streets of Tehran for the funeral of Iran's late Supreme Leader, the Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. Contract negotiations between the Wichita School District and the local teachers' union have officially hit a stalemate, forcing both sides into a declared impasse. That's three big things with Woodward and Witt on 987 and 1330 KNSSS get a traffic update. Chad, what do you got for us? Just a little bit ago, I was seeing quite a bit of a slowdown northbound on I-135, starting at hairy and going back to about Pawnee or so. It does look like things are clearing up there a little bit, but we still got a lot of traffic right there on I-135 going through that area. Traffic Update from 987 and 1330 KNS, the Accident Recovery Team Traffic Center. I'm Chad Chambers. Mostly sunny today with a high of 93 degrees tonight. It's clear with a low of 70 degrees tomorrow, mostly sunny, some isolated storms overnight, and a high of 96. Right now, which thought's clear, and 75 degrees at which does severe weather station, 987 and 1330 KNSS. It is 749 here with Woodward and Whit on this Tuesday, July 7th. Let's look back yesterday and see what happened on the stock market. The major averages kicking off the new trading week higher as the AI trade gains momentum with tech stocks among the biggest winners in the Dow, notching its 21st record close of the year and finishing above the 53,000 level for the first time. It was just last Monday when the Dow ended above the 52,000 milestone. Tech and industrials advanced while health care lag, memory stocks and chips are regaining their footing with shares of advanced micro devices jumping over.

7% following an upgrade from Goldman Sachs. The Dow winners Goldman Sachs, IBM and Boeing. The Dow decliner's United Health, Amgen, and Home Depot. The Dell up 156 points. The NASDAQ hired by 289, S&P 500 up 54. Hillary Barski, Fox News. Boeing stock up yesterday. That's good. Now it's time for a local business update. From the Wichita Business Journal. And to handle that, we have the editor at the Business Journal, Kirk Seminoff, to help us out. Good morning, Kirk. Good morning, Ted. A Valley Center manufacturer is planning a major expansion as demand continues to grow for its plastic color products. National Plastics Color will invest more than $7.7 million to add a 36,000 square foot production building and a new rail spur at its campus near 77th and Meridian. The expansion will add three production lines, increase employment, and boost capacity for products used in industries ranging from automotive. and medical to agriculture and consumer goods. Company leaders say the project positions the business for more growth with plans to add manufacturing lines through 2030 and increased production by roughly 50%. And Derby resident Allison Lacey has turned an old school bus she bought at auction into a mobile bookstore called A Novel Escape. Lacey spent about $6,000 to $8,000 renovating the bus and now sells independent books, local art, and accessories on a consignment model. She launched the bookstore this spring with appearances at events like the Wichita Women's Fair and is now focusing on stops in Derby, where she says there's no local bookstore. Lacey, who also works as a special education paraprofessional at Derby High, is expanding into community events like book clubs and reading gatherings as she grows the business. breaking business news every day on KNSS and at Wichita Business Journal.com. For the Wichita Business Journal, I'm Kirk Semenoff. I guess I didn't know that Derby did not have a local bookstore. I did not know that maybe the magazine rack at Walmart? I don't know. People in Derby are too busy over there eating pizza at Pizza Johns to bother with reading books. I'm all for that. Oh, no kidding. I'm me too. You know, Kirk, let's go back and take a look at, we're going to go back 50 years ago on this day in the summer of 1976, right after the bicentennial. Quite a movie came out in Wichita movie theaters from the Disney Corporation called Gus. Today is the 50th anniversary of the football movie Gus. The complicated plot involves a... Is that the horse? A mule from Eastern Europe that can kick field goals. It was Czechoslovakian or Yugoslavia, one of the two. Yeah. And, you know, the team in the NFL was the Los Angeles Adams or something like that. The sad part is I knew what this movie was. And the team owner is Ed Asner. The team's head coach is Don Knott.

And the two villains who are constantly trying to kidnap Gus the field goal kicking mule are Tim Conway and Tom Bosley. How could they go wrong? Now, how could that movie go wrong? It's really sad that I actually knew what this was. That's the shameful thing in this. I believe Dick Butkus was one of the players. Am I correct? Correct. And Johnny Unitas? Yeah, and there were other big NFL names that were in the movies. And I'm sure one or both of you know what the word was that the guy had to say to get Gus to kick. What was that word? I probably can't spell it, but I can say it. Oyich! Correct. Is I right? Yep. Yes. Yeah, Gus's handler would have to yell, oinch, and then Gus would kick the long field goal. Oh, my goodness. And I think that they ended up winning the Super Bowl. Yeah, at the end of the movie. Yeah. It all had a happy ending. Gus, the field kicking you. Would he be? Would he be as accurate at a kicker in today's NFL? I don't know. We'd have to do a study on that. See, sadly no. It's harder to kick an extra point now than it used to be. But, you know, Gus was kicking 99-yarders back in the 1970s, so he could probably pull it off. He probably could. You know. Ed Asner is a team owner. That's great. Well, yeah, you can't go wrong right there. And Don Knott's doing double and triple and takes as your head coach. And there are teams in the NFL that could use a new kicker. So, hey, maybe the Bears could sign him. All right. The 50th anniversary of Gus. We're celebrating that today. And we'll let Kirk move along with his life. And we'll get in another great Wichita Business Journal, local business report from editor Kirk Semenoff one hour from now. Lord knows the Raiders could use some scoring. So, hey. Hey, the 7 o'clock hour, check. It's finished up. Now we move on to the 8 o'clock hour. Yep. We'll talk to just coming up here in about 10 minutes. Fox News is Jonathan Savage. in Turkey. And we will touch base with him. He's going to check in with us. He's in Ankara. And he will bring us a live update live from the NATO summit in Turkey right now.

There are hundreds of thousands of Iranians in the streets of Tehran, marking the funeral for the late Supreme Leader, the Ayatollah Khamanai. This event is scheduled to end on July 9th and has included international delegations from countries like Oman and Saudi Arabia. Many of the attendees chanted death to America, as they demonstrated, but there was no appearance from Iran's new Supreme Leader Mostabakhamanai. With the ceasefire ongoing, there are questions about this 60-day window and whether Iran will make serious concessions to avoid. to return to war. And that's Fox's Trey Yinks with that report from Tel Aviv. Two Wichita men are now convicted felons after pleading guilty in separate cases involving social media threats to murder federal officials. 60-year-old Adam Osborne and 24-year-old Joaquin Hernandez each pleaded guilty to one count of interstate communications with a threat to injure. In January 2026, Wichita police officers learned Osborne had posted threats on his social media page stating he wanted to murder U.S. Representative Ilhan Omar. Also in January 26, Hernandez posted a social media video threatening to shoot ICE agents point blank if he saw them in Wichita, according to court documents. The Wichita Police Department and the FBI are investigating both cases. Phil Hildebrand, KNS News.

At least 18 cases of Legionnaires disease have been reported on Manhattan's Upper East Side as the outbreak continues to grow. City Comptroller Mark Levin says that public health officials are investigating a community cluster that stems from a cooling tower, not a water system. Legionaire's disease is a type of pneumonia that comes from bacteria growth in warm water. Health officials say people can get the disease by breathing in water vapor contaminated with the bacteria, not through drinking water, cooking, or from using air conditioning units. Legionnaires has flu-like symptoms like headaches, muscle aches, fever, cough, and nausea. In New York City, Tanya J. Powers, Fox News. Some California land given back, and a critter and a man in Florida do battle. A little doggy helped out too. And we will get the weather forecast from Storm Team 12 coming up as well. KNSSS News time is 804. Seven with Woodward and Witt. The NATO summit is underway in Turkey with world leaders gathering as the alliance faces continued challenges from Russia, instability in the Middle East, and growing questions about defense spending and global security. Fox News Radio's Jonathan Savage is on the ground covering the summit. Jonathan, thank you for joining us. A pleasure to have you with us, as always, my friend. Hello there, and nice to talk to you again from Turkey this time. Yes. So what's been the biggest headline coming out of the summit so far? And what's the atmosphere like among NATO leaders? Well, let me just start with the atmosphere in Turkey, just give you a sense of Ankara right now. It's a strange city in some ways. It's not the most popular or dramatic city in Turkey. It's all about the government, the state of government. But when you arrive here, you cannot miss that the NATO summit is happening. There are police officers every quarter mile from the road from the airport into the city. There are flags and banners and barriers. everywhere. One apartment building or office building near where the summer is happening has a Turkish flag on it, which is 13 stories high and about one and a half times as wide. The security is immense because this is a gathering of the most powerful alliance in the world and some of the most powerful people in the world, President Trump, has landed here. He's right now talking with the Turkish president, Recep Tayyip Erdogan. And in terms of the big announcements,

Well, last year's summit was all about getting NATO's European members to commit defending a lot more on their defense. This year's summit is about holding them to that promise. President Trump has come and he and Secretary General NATO Mark Rutte want to see clear, concrete plans. They want to see defense investment announcements. And we have had some already. with Mark Rutte announcing $40 billion will be spent on anti-drone systems and a whole new fleet on top of that of spy planes. So NATO is trying to show to President Trump that they are going to meet their commitments. Ukraine remains a major focus, I'm sure, for these talks. What commitments are allies making? And where does the president stand on continued support for Ukraine? Yes, we will see. President Trump will be meeting Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky. We think tomorrow and Volodymyr Zelensky will ask for more air defense systems. She wants more missiles for the Patriot air defense systems that they've got because Russia has been bombarding more than ever Ukraine with drones and missiles in the last week or so. Parliament blocks hit, 50 people killed in the capital cave alone. Butta Mer Volodymyr Zelensky also making another pitch to join NATO, something which is on the back burner because President Trump doesn't agree with that idea. So we're expecting to hear more about that when the two men meet. President Trump wants to talk about ending the war. He says he thinks both sides want to do a deal. I will just interrupt myself, if that's possible, to just give you something that President Trump has just said. He said he's brought, I guess he was asked this by journalists where he was talking to the Turkish president. He was asked about land should be controlled by the United States, not Denmark. So there's another thing we're going to be talking about again, no doubt in the next 24 hours. You cut out there. Did you say Greenland should be controlled by the U.S.? Yes. Yes. He has brought up Greenland to Kenya. He was asked about Greenland and he has restated his belief that Greenland should be controlled by the US, not Denmark. It had thought that this issue had gone away a little bit since the Davos summit earlier this year with work taking place to ensure Greenland's security. But President Trump, clearly his position has not changed. According to Reuters, he was asked about Greenland. He said, we could remove all our soldiers out of Europe. I think I need to listen back to that to find out the context. That'll make some news, I'm sure. The last thing I wanted to ask you, you know, it's ironic the juxtaposition of the two stories, because this is going on in Turkey. Meanwhile, in Iran, this funeral, and there's massive protests calling for the death of the president. That story is going on simultaneous to this one. How is the Iran war playing out or the ceasefire playing out amongst this story?

Well, of course, President Trump has been unhappy with NATO allies for what he sees as lack of support in the war on Ukraine. And he may well bring this up. I would not be surprised if he brings this up in front of the other heads of state and government when he sees them over the next 24 hours or so. So it could certainly play into the debate. It could affect the decisions that he makes based on what he may see is disloyalty from NATO allies. the other NATO leaders who are there would like to focus on getting an end to the war and getting the Strait of Hormuzry opened. So I think that's where they're going to focus on. Jonathan, have you had anything to eat, either good or bad in Turkey so far? Okay, so the catering at the summit, they are looking after journalists very well. There's good Turkish food available, and I don't think if you ever heard of Turkish ice cream. Turkish ice cream is the greatest ice cream I have ever had in my life. It's called Dondurma, and I managed to sample some a little bit earlier. The difference between Dondurma and other ice cream is that it doesn't drip and melt. It's stretchy and it's chewy. It's often eaten with a knife and fork. It's got wild orchid root and mastic in it to make it chewy and give it a subtle pine-like flavor. It's made with fresh goat's milk, making it rich and dense and really, really creamy. But again, it doesn't drip and you can stretch and do tricks with it, and it's absolutely delicious. ice cream with a knife and fork that is, by the way, I love when you say it, stretch it and cheery ice cream. It's amazing. Just to have you say it, we could go 15 minutes with you just talking about stretchy, chewy ice cream. Jonathan, it's always fun to talk with you, my friend. And next time we can come on and you can not talk about U.S. losing in the World Cup. So. Did I see I slept through that? I missed that game completely. That's okay. He didn't miss anything. So did our defense. My friend, thank you. And you have a safe time while you're over there. We'll touch base with you soon. Live in Turkey. Yes. Jonathan Savage. That was Jonathan Savage from Fox News Radio live from Turkey at the NATO Summit. It is 815. Land originally acquired in the 1960s for the expansion of the scenic Highway 1 on the northern California coast is being returned to indigenous tribes.

A North Fort Myers, Florida man is recovering at home after a terrifying alligator attack in his own backyard. James McMicken credits his survival to his quick thinking and the help of his bulldog. James McMicken suffered injuries to his leg but is expected to survive after a large alligator pulled him into a canal while he was fishing from his backyard in North Fort Myers. The 71-year-old managed to fight off the gator by jamming his fishing pole and thumb into its eyes. McMicken credits his hunting experience for giving him the know-how to fight off the large reptile. As the gator swam away, McMickin's bulldog helped him out of the water and to his feet. Tom Graham, Fox News. That's a heck of a bulldog. Oh, man. Meanwhile, I'm fighting off a gator.

He's going to stop it first. Come on. You got to keep going, don't you? He was a triple shy of the cycle, but he'll have to settle for a five-for-five game. That's excellent.

Satchell Page, the great pitcher. Of course, he had a fantastic connection to Wichita in 1935 when Satchel Page was the big headliner at the inaugural National Baseball Congress World Series. newly opened Lawrence Stadium downtown. He was pitching for the Bismarck Churchill's, and he was already very famous, and Hap Dumont paid some pretty good money to get Bismarck-Churchills and Satchel Paige here in town. Page did not disappoint. Dazzling crowds, 60 strikeouts, and winning four games, and leading his team to the first ever National Baseball Congress Championship. Page eventually lived in Kansas City for a long time. He still visited Wichita. He played in the NBC World Series three more times. The last time was in 1960 when he was 54 years old. One of the greatest pitchers in baseball ever came a Hall of Famer. In fact, Hall of Famer New York Yankees great, Joe DiMaggio, once called Satchel Page, the best and fastest pitcher I ever faced.

What makes it so good is the fellows here who started this rumor about my age when I went to Cleveland. 1948, they said I was 65 when I went there in.

They got a little confused, and they had it all on the street because if anybody gets such a page age, we'll give them a farm, we'll give them this. But as I made the little poem, don't never look back, something may be gaining on you. That was the only thing who would help me up in baseball make me keep going. Don't look back. Something might be gaining on you. Satchel Page, the legend. He was born 120 years ago on this day. Certainly had an interesting time in Wichita at some points during his life.

Not good results for Samsung, so there's a big chip sell-off. And, of course, you know what that means. That means the NASDAQ is going in the hole right now. So, yeah, the stock market is open. Great day yesterday. But the NASDAQ is opening up down nearly 1% already on the day. Although the Dow Jay Jones Industrial averages up a little bit. It is 852 here with Woodward and Witt. And now let's get a local business update. It is editor Kirk Semenoff from the Wichita Business Journal. Good morning, Kirk. Good morning, Ted. A Valley Center manufacturer is planning a major expansion as demand continues to grow for its plastic color products. National Plastics Color will invest more than $7.7 million to add a 36,000 square foot production building and a new rail spur at its campus near 77th and Meridian. The expansion will add three production lines, increase employment, and boost capacity for products used in industries ranging from automotive and medical. to agricultural and consumer goods.

Company leaders say the project positions the business for more growth with plans to add manufacturing lines through 2030 and increased production by roughly 50%. And Derby resident Allison Lacey has turned an old school bus she bought at auction into a mobile bookstore called A Novel Escape. Lacey spent about $6,000 to $8,000 renovating the bus and now sells independent books, local art and accessories on a consignment model. She launched the bookstore this spring. with appearances at events like the Wichita Women's Fair and is now focusing on stops in Derby where she says there's no local bookstore. Lacey also works as a special education paraprofessional at Derby High School and is expanding into community events like book clubs and reading gatherings as she grows the business.

Yeah, that business up there in Valley Center, National Plastics Color. Sounds like a big, big-time investment there. Of course, when you start describing that, I start thinking about Tupperware. But, you know, it's much more. But, you know, you gave a good description that they do a lot of stuff. They don't make plastics. They make color for plastics, which I think is pretty cool. That is. That's a thing I think we don't know about. And apparently it's just, it's a great business. Got a lot of things going on. Yeah, and got a, boy, roughly 50% growth over the next five years, that's pretty good stuff. Yeah, that's much more growth than I'll have in the next five years. I appreciate your energy today, Kirk. I know you're up late last night watching Team USA just getting blown out by Belgium. You, John, and I would have played better defense than that back end last night. That was horrible. Yeah, I was, I preferred watching Belgium waffles. So, yeah, that's fine. They, they were great to watch. Good luck. I'm looking forward to the next four years from that. We appreciate it. Editor Kirk Seminoff from the Wichita Business Journal. Hey, that's your Tuesday show. Thank you, John. Thank you, Ted. Thank you, Jad. And thank everyone for listening. Have a great day.
