Election upsets, a big soccer match, and weird ice cream flavors

Ted Woodward and John Whitmire. This is Woodward and Witt on 987 and 1330 KNSS, Wichita's number one talk. Good morning. It is 6 o'clock. It is Wednesday, July 1st, here on KNSS. We'll be telling you about new reporting on FAA Safety. I'm Rodney Price. Central County Commissioners at the Wichita City Council held a joint meeting on Tuesday. Here what they discussed just ahead. Currently in Wichita, we do have a mostly clear sky. It is 76 degrees here on this Wednesday morning. New reporting suggesting that the FAA is moving towards mandating technology that helps pilots locate nearby aircraft. This following a deadly Wichita-to-D.C. mid-air collision with a helicopter last year.

The Federal Aviation Administration mandate reportedly being considered would require nearly all aircraft in civilian airspace to broadcast information like their location, direction, and call sign using technology that would help pilots see nearby aircraft, according to the Wall Street Journal. It's a move that safety advocates have wanted since the mid-air collision of an American Airlines plane and an Army Black Hawk helicopter in January 2025 that left all 67 people on board both aircraft dead. The potential mandate of the aircraft tracking technology would involve two components instead of the singular one already required by many aircraft. It would also apply to military aircraft in U.S. civilian airspace. Tanya J. Powers, Fox News. Congressional candidate and socialist Milat Kiroz has defeated Colorado Congresswoman Diana DeGette in Colorado House Primary. It's a stunning victory for the first-time candidate against a nearly 30-year incumbent. Keros, a former corporate attorney, is the latest Democratic socialist or progressive candidate to boot a Democratic incumbent this month. With the district covering the dark blue city of Denver, Kiros is expected to win in November and reach Congress in January. The new nominee joins two other Democratic Socialists who prevailed against establishment-backed candidates in New York City's House primaries last week. Was Fox's Ashley Strohmeyer with that story? The Central County Commission is going to meet this morning. There are only two new items of business besides the Board of Bids and Contracts. The commission will hear a zoning request to allow mining or quarrying near 61st Street North and Tyler Road. Not too far from Mays. The commission will meet at 9 o'clock this morning, downtown in the Ruffin building. The Wichita City Council and Sedgwick County Commission gathered yesterday to discuss a variety of issues in an en banc meeting, including the desire for a new law school in the Wichita area. Sedgwick County DA Mark Bennett believes the most viable option would be a satellite campus hosted by Washburn University or the University of Kansas, home of the state's two law schools. Bennett was asked who would need to be involved to get the ball rolling. Washburn and KU, either one, are not going to simply be able to just find piles of cash lane around to invest in Wichita. They're going to need investment from or approval from the legislature. But we're going to need to show it's feasible. We're going to get the board of reasons behind it. One of the schools will have to volunteer or collectively they do, and the legislature will have to support it. Bennett believes a feasibility study would help answer a number of questions on the topic. The Pinnacle Welldes Center for First Responders is progressing. The building has been purchased in the downtown area and a contractor has been selected. Works should begin in July with a completion date slated for the first quarter of 2027. Rodney Price, KNS News. A WSU student drowned at a popular watering hole in Oregon. 21-year-old Wichita State University student Kenny Trong drowned at Tamalaj Falls' famous blue pool. It's where authorities say the water is cold enough to cause immediate physical shock with between 37 and 40-degree water year-round. Witnesses say Trong began to struggle right away before becoming submerged, and first responders tried to revive him to no avail. Blue pool is known for its striking turquoise waters and cliffside views. It's been a major draw for hikers and visitors in the Pacific.

Northwest and has also been the site of numerous deaths and injuries in the past. Sue Guzman, Fox News. A federal grand jury in Wichita returned an indictment charging a Kansas woman with using her position at her job to embezzle more than $750,000 from her employer.

Hey, Kellogg, listen up. Six decades later, a road opens in Vermont. Officials cutting a 61-foot-long ribbon while listening to songs from 1965 with Burlington's mayor in the passenger seat of a 1965 Ford Mustang leading the first cars on the parkway. It took 61 years for the road construction project to be completed. It connects Interstate 189 with Pine Street in Burlington's South End. The couple thousand feet of fresh pavement is expected to reduce traffic in the area by about 10 to 20%. City leaders acknowledge a project and... Process was far from perfect. Officials pointed to the need for change in Vermont and U.S. law to make sure infrastructure projects like this one don't take so long in the future. C.J. Papa, Fox News.

And as you get your Wednesday morning commute underway, Jad Chambers will be keeping you updated on traffic conditions, Jad. All right, now the traffic conditions are very good. Things looking okay at the moment. The traffic volumes for the most part. Still pretty light. We do have a stalled out vehicle eastbound on Kellogg, and this is right around the Central Business District, which can... Jam up pretty quickly at times, so just be aware of that. Again, that's eastbound on Kellogg right there at the Central Business District Traffic Update, 987 and 1330KNS. In the Accident Recovery Team Traffic Center, I'm Jed Chambers.

It is mostly cloudy and 75 degrees here on this Wednesday morning, the 1st of July, Wichita's severe weather station, 987 and 1330, KNSS. It is 612. We're glad you're with us here on this Wednesday morning as we get things going. We'd love to hear from you. Leave us a voice message. It's very easy to do. You just open the Odyssey app. And then you get the KNSS there, and you click on the microphone icon, and you can leave us a message, up to 60 seconds long. And, you know, we put some of those on the air. So if you'd like to be on the air with us, leave us a message. Maybe you have some take on fireworks, July 4th, our 250th. Whether or not you like Woodward and Witt, there's all sorts of things you can leave a message. Well, of course they like that. We'd love to hear from you. Who would? Just open the Odyssey app. Search for KNSS and click on the microphone icon and, hey, leave us a message and maybe we'll get you on the air. 613. You know, we have our 250th coming up. Yeah. But we do need to note that somewhere. I think I heard that somewhere. That this is Canada Day, July 1st. So our friends up north of the border, happy Canada Day. A national day in Canada, federal holiday, celebrating the anniversary of the Canadian Confederation, which occurred on July 1st, not too long after our Civil War, 1867, when the three separate colonies of the United Canada's, Ontario, and Quebec, Nova Scotia, and New Brunswick united into a single dominion under the British Empire, and they called themselves Canada.

It was called Dominion Day originally, but they renamed it Canada Day in 1982. So happy Canada Day to our neighbors up to the north. And, you know, we've been friends with them for so long. Seems like it's gotten a little crusty here lately, but yeah. I like Canadians. It's seasonal. You know, things ebb and flow. Things are fine. I mean, it's like sometimes, you know, they get saucy once in a while. Things are fine. Their prime minister hates us. Ah, well. And our president hates them, apparently. Oh, I think it. I think that's all rhetoric. It's political rhetoric. People don't. It doesn't seem a little more than that to me. Oh, pish-posh. Our relationship isn't very good right now. It's all political rhetoric. A lot of it, you just kind of ignore it. Why are we friends then? Why don't we, why don't we, why do we have to have this antagonistic relationship with our neighbor? I think, I think a lot of it's posturing. Why? Why do we need to posture with Canada? That should be a no-brainer that we don't posture. It's about, ultimately, it's about the economy. It's about economics. That's true. They want open border trade. And when you start throwing tariffs, both ways, it ticks people off. You know, they won't take our goods. We throw tariffs because they wouldn't take our goods. They wouldn't take American steel. And so we were like, okay, you're not going to take our steel. We're not going to take your product. And that's how it goes. There we go. And here we are. It gets saucy. It's fine. The relations are fine. It's just, you know, personalities. There was a massive fireworks explosion in the state of Washington. Multiple people ended up in the hospital. Two houses destroyed.

I believe it was a significant amount. Initial estimates were probably in the 700-pound range. I believe this individual was buying fireworks for an event that they were doing. He had just had some pallets lifted, and he said he was got a deal on them, and then he stored them. Estimation right now is some smoking materials were around the fireworks in question. Oh. Yeah. Yeah. Okay. Dude, don't store your fireworks. 800 pounds of fireworks and he's got a cigarette hanging out of his mouth. Exactly. Well, then that shows me, then you smoke around your fireworks. This is what happened. Exactly. Yeah. We don't have to go too far to investigate that case. Exactly. Why do people do this? Okay. Not good. Yeah, fire and fireworks still go together. You know, the names that we call our grandparents, has it gotten out of control. Oh, depends. I guess it does depend on what family. Did you have a nickname for your grandparents? No. I did. I mean, we did. We called my grandmother mouse. And I never learned why we called her mouse, but everyone called her mouse. Yeah, it's one of those deals. It's different for every family. Yeah. One guy posted a video, and he's just kind of gotten sick and mocking how ridiculous the names for grandparents have become. Hey, do you guys want to go see Yeah, Yeah, and Yo? Grab your toys, we're going to go see Gabba Gabba and Garfunkel. Who wants to go visit Shiboubi and Paw? Look who's coming up the driveway. It's gam, gam, and he-ha. You guys want to spend the night at Lolly and Grandolph's house? Who wants to go see Grandma and Dan? He's not wrong. Yeah, yeah, and pooh, yeah. Every family has their own deal. They did. I mean, now to think about it, I mean, our grandkids called us moo-moo. Yeah, I mean, and juju. I was juju and she was mu-moo. I think it's because when they were young, you know, that's what they called us moo-moo and ju-ju. And so, now they don't anymore, obviously, but, you know, that's how we were moo-moo and I was ju-ju. And by the way, if either of you start calling me juju, I'm going to smack you upside to head. I'm not doing it. But yeah, I guess that's part of the, we did, I called my grandmother mouse for all her life. I called her mouths. Go figure. There you go. That guy's viral video. Gandalf, or Grandolf, that wasn't bad, actually. Grandolf, I like that one. It is 618 here with Woodward and Witt on this July 1st, on a Wednesday morning. Let's see what's going on in sports.

It's in the round of 32, every game, an elimination game, of course. And it's the United States taking on Bosnia and Herzegovina tonight. The United States is set to face Bosnia and Herzegovina tonight in the round of 32 at the FIFA World Cup. Bosnia snuck into the knockout stage as the third place team in Group B.

Meanwhile, the Americans won Group D but fell in their final group stage game to Turkey last week. But the U.S., of course, has home field advantage as this game will be played in Santa Clara. The team also expects to get back a fully healthy Christian Polisic as he had been dealing with a calf injury. Policic telling Fox is Jenny Taft on Tuesday that tonight's game will be a tough matchup, but his team is ready to give it their all. I think it's going to be a good battle. We have to put on a really good performance if we want to win. Kickoff is scheduled for 8 p.m. Eastern on Fox. Tony Genuwaldo, Fox News. Hey, Ted, I don't think this is very fair. America's playing two-on-one because we're playing Bosnia and Herzegovina. That's not fair. Somebody's cheating. How'd that happen? 7 o'clock tonight for World Cup soccer for the Americans. All right, we got minor league baseball continuing in Wichita between Tulsa and the wind surge.

Since the year 2011, Bobby Bonilla has been paid nearly $1.2 million by the New York Mets every year on July 1st. He will receive that same amount every year on July 1st until the year 2035. And why is this? This was part of a deal that was made when the Mets released Bonilla before the 2000 season. They still owed him nearly $6 million for the final year of his contract. The deal, yeah, so it's going for another nine years. At that point, the NIA will have been paid nearly $30 million for a season in which he didn't even play for the Mets. How do I get that deal? And you wonder why the Mets are a mess. Good grief. Of course, they could have paid him the $6 million, I guess, when they released him, but they structured this weird. odd thing where they pay him a million every year on July 1st. To go away. So, yeah. He didn't even play for him that year. So, yeah, Bobby Vanilla gets to go to the bank and cash his check today for $1.19 million. And he does it every day on every year on July 1st. Bobby Vanilla Day. Way to go. Mets. That is Sports with Woodward and Witt.

The U.S. Supreme Court struck down President Trump's executive order, finding the 14th Amendment confers citizenship upon most people born here. President Trump said, then Congress should work to end birthright citizenship now, and how Speaker Mike Johnson reacted. I think it's clearly an issue that merits the attention of Congress. I don't know what the remedy is, how to define it, or the timeline. It would be premature for me to... project that but i will tell you that it's a big concern with the american people because it's been abused the justices also ruled states can block transgender athletes from competing in girls and women sports they also ended caps on political party expenditures when coordinating with individual candidates finding the limits violated the first amendment jessica rosenthal fox news construction season is in full swing across the sunflower state as the kansas department of transportation is urging motorists to be aware of changes designed to make the roadways safer.

Scientists are offering new hope that patients can be cured from cancer with a single treatment. You might say Lori Atomai is a modern-day miracle. After 12 brutal years of fighting a blood cancer called follicular non-Hodgkin lymphoma, she was out of options and nearly out of time. Months. Like the cancer was going to kill me rapidly. She went through years of traditional chemotherapy until she heard about a highly specialized immunotherapy called CAR-T cell, where doctors take white T cells out of your body, infuse them with cancer-fighting antigens, and then put the supercharged T-cells back into the patient. They're like Pac-Men running all over the place. While nonprofits fund the research, the problem remains the price. That was Fox's Anita Vogel with that story. Central County Commission Chairman Jeff Blubaw talks about the possibility of getting law school in the Wichita area. For the last 150 years, our interpretation of the law has been in the northeast corner of the state. You know, and we have a little different culture down here in South Central Kansas than what they do in the northeast part of the state. So I think that it be a great opportunity to, you know, let us have our own interpretation of the law down here. Bluebaugh appearing on Tuesdays with the chair with Woodward and Witt on KNSS.

They're accusing the elderly man of using a dating app to contact a 15-year-old boy. That man's legal name is Santa Claus.

Now it is time for the commodities update with Tom Kelly Loeffler of Kelly Loeffler Commodities. Good morning, Tom. Well, good morning, Ted and John. The cattle complex started the session with some two-sided trading yesterday, then the selling took over once again. Live cattle saw 10 session lows, feeder cattle nine session lows. The closes were all triple-digit losses, but we did manage to bounce off the lows of the session. There was a lack of price-negative news yesterday to go with that other than a rumor that was floating around. That was nothing more than a news report from a year ago. Now, June Live Cattle expired. yesterday at $258.20, which is $15.77 above the August live cattle contract, which is now the spot contract. Lean hogs traded and closed two-sided. On the close, August live cattle, $1.15 lower at $242.42. August feeder cattle, $287 lower at $3.64.60. And August, lean hogs up $0.92 at $0.08. The wheat corn and soybeans started lower Tuesday and closed positive. The grain stocks and acreage report did not hold... any major surprises in yesterday's report, a combination of that report, and the new lows that we saw for the grain complex made this week gave the markets a technical reason to bounce and close positive yesterday. We've got continued upside this morning, September Casey Wheat, seven cents higher at 6.30, 2.2 and a quarter, December corn, 3 and a quarter higher at 4.39 and a quarter. November soybeans up 2 and 3 quarters at 1146.5. August crude oil trading down 45 cents at 6904. August gold down 20 cents at $4,038. September silver, 61 cents lower at $59.31.

July 1st marks National Creative Ice Cream Flavors Day. A time to sample or wonder about the odd combinations. of ice cream flavors. And by the way, we're setting aside your favorite, which is vanilla. Skip the traditional chocolate, vanilla, and strawberry ice cream when you celebrate this particular holiday. The greatest thing about ice cream flavors is we have so many to choose from. Chocolate, strawberry, vanilla, cherry, just to name a few. There are actually, according to one source, 725 different flavors of ice creams. To give you a few, I did a simple search. I'll give you some choices here, Ted. Tell me what you think of some of these. Kraft, macaroni and cheese. Pass. A collaboration between Van Luen and Kraft that gives you a surprisingly authentic, sweet, and savory taste. How about Devil's Breath Carolina Reaper? A fiery creation of ice cream that is, yeah, I don't want to get near that one. Lobster, a famous creation from Maine. Black garlic, a gourmet flavor that utilizes fermented black garlic. Or this one, sweet potato, popular in Japan. Secret Breakfast, an iconic flavor that is from in the Humphrey Slocum area in San Francisco. Or... One of the ones that I thought was really ironic, or excuse me, a really, really disgusting sounding, pear and blue cheese. I would try that. I wouldn't get anywhere near that. Yeah, I agree, Jed. I'd try it to. Or the worst one, a global confection from Japan called White Bait. that is sold in Japanese fish markets that incorporates tiny white fish directly into a dairy base. So there's your selection of unique ice cream flavors, including white fish incorporating white bait, rather, including white fish directly into ice cream. I've got one for Tom, I think. There is a ice cream parlor in Kansas City, Betty Ray's ice cream. Sells Tommy, ready for this, burnt end ice cream. Oh, beef flavored. That sounds interesting. Yeah, I know. I know that would intrigue him. Yeah, yeah. Well, and here's one if you happen to be vegan. This one is called Wild Meister. It's a popular Woodruff-flavored treat in Germany that tastes slightly like lawnmower clippings. So there you go. You know, after listening to that, John, almost makes me say, I'll never eat ice cream again. Well, we know that's not true, but you're a basic man. You know, listen to all those different kinds after it made me stop and think of something I completely forgot about. I used to eat a lot of Neapolitan ice cream. Oh, yeah, yeah. That's the three of chocolate strawberry. Yeah, Tom would eat all the vanilla, then all the chocolate, and then Tom would be left with that strip of strawberry. Yes. And then he'd go buy some new.

There's something else I'd forgotten about. This goes back quite a few years ago. I was down in Memphis with some of our colleagues down there in the commodity business. And they took me to a place, and I can't remember what they specialized in. But they put out this huge bowl with probably 24 scoops of ice cream in it. And they served it with pitchers of beer. Oh. Hey. You ever drank beer and ate ice cream? That's kind of a weird combination. I bet you forged ahead. Yes. We managed to take care of the job in front of it. I'm sure you did. Job well done. Well, there you go. It's National Creative Ice Cream Flavor Day. Go have yourself a scoop of lawnmower clipping ice cream if you want. Or Carolina Reaper pass on both of those for me. But there you go, Tom. Enjoy your lawnmower clipping ice cream. Thank you. There he goes. That is the commodities update with Tom Kelly Loeffler of Kelly Loeffler Commodities. You know, when I brought you those weird sodas to try several. First thing I thought of, Jay. Several years ago, there was one called grass. Let me tell you, that one wasn't the worst one. That actually wasn't terrible. Yeah, Jad gave me the grass soda. It was for Christmas, wasn't it? Yeah, it was a Christmas gift. It didn't taste like grass. Well, of course it did. Yeah. I don't know. But for some reason, that one was kind of okay. The one with actually little bits of white fish in it sounded just disgusting to me. But, hey, apparently it's popular in Japan. Well, don't forget Betty Ray's in Kansas City. There's little bits of burnt end in the ice cream and they top it with barbecue sauce. Ice cream with barbecue sauce on it? Oh, no. No, pass. No, sorry. Can't do it. Not gone dead. Wouldn't be prudent at this juncture. It is 6.45 here with Woodward and Witt on this Wednesday morning, July 1st. We will take a look and see what the stock market did yesterday. We'll recap that. We'll have a preview for Team USA World Cup soccer tonight.

Let's take a look at one another of our historic battles. As we celebrate America's 250th birthday, we want to look at the historic battles, which literally helped secure America. After more than six years of fighting, the American Revolution came to an end following the Battle of Yorktown in Virginia, also known as the Siege of Yorktown. After French ships arrived in the Chesapeake Bay at the end of August 1781, American troops, led by George Washington, who were accompanied by French ground forces, arrived at Yorktown in the last few days of September. The British commander, General Charles Cornwallis, was completely surrounded. Two and a half weeks of American and French attacks led to Cornwallis asking for terms of surrender, with the official surrender coming on October 19, 1781. That led to negotiations on the Treaty of Paris, which was signed on September 3, 1783, officially ending the Revolutionary War. Kidman Rescue, Fox News. More soccer action tonight. Team USA!

Writing for the majority, Brett Kavanaugh noted that each time a slot on a team or a scholarship is awarded to someone, another student will miss out on that opportunity. And aligned with more than two dozen states and key organizations like the NCAA that have concluded.

Supporters say the law gives clarity for educators, while critics say it restricts the First Amendment free speech rights of students. Tanya J. Powers, Fox News. An hours-long search early yesterday morning came to an end after Haysville police arrested two suspects. They say we're connected to a string of vehicle break-ins and an armed robbery.

Haysville Police dispatched just before 4 in the morning yesterday. Someone reporting seeing two people acting suspiciously. Investigators say one suspect was taken into custody early near Kirby Park. Another suspect, though, led officers on a long search through the country lakes neighborhood. He was found at about 10 in the morning yesterday. Haysville Police getting reports of at least five vehicle break-ins, probably more. While officers were searching for the second suspect, he hid inside an unlocked car on Windrose. The suspect then confronted the owner, threatened him with a gun, believed to have been stolen from a vehicle earlier in the night. The suspect then demanded the victim's keys and ran away again. Police say both suspects are believed to be from Wichita. They are now in the Sedgwick County Jail, facing felony charges, including auto burglary, theft, assault, and armed robbery. Commuters in North Wichita near Bel Air and Kichai will need to be aware as the Kansas Department of Transportation plans a temporary closure.

Of course, our focal point, Washington, D.C., as we get ready for America's 250th birthday, and, ooh, it is very, very hot in D.C. right now. We'll find out just how hot. And we'll get the extended forecast. Weather with Storm Team 12 chief meteorologist Ross Janssen. It's coming up next as well. Be here when we speak with Ross. It's always a good segment. KNSS.

Good morning. It is 708 here on this Wednesday, July 1st. Top officials at NASA, updating where the agency stands on its long-range plan to build a permanent moon base. With knowledge from the Artemis II mission in hand, NASA administrator Jared Isaacman said assembling of hardware for Artemis 3 is on track. With the goal of getting it outside and getting into wet dress before the end of the year. Wet dress means final testing before a launch. It all points toward building the moon base. Carlos Garcia Galan leads that program. He said equipment testing and prepping the moon surface begins in 2029, leading to plans for 2032. The final elements. of the moon base initial capability which will enable long-term duration missions, including habitation. NASA officials plan to update the Artemis program's progress monthly. Gernal Scott, Fox News. Visitors celebrating the country's 250th birthday in Washington will have to deal with some extreme heat. Here in Washington, D.C., our nation's capital, 16 days of festivities planned through July the 10th. celebrating our great nation. Here's the problem, though. We're talking heat advisories and extreme heat watches that are in effect. We can actually see temperatures nearing 100 degrees, the actual air temperature, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and on Saturday. By Friday, 104, that's what we're going with in the Fox Forecast Center as the actual temperature. You factor in the humidity. 112 degrees is what it could feel like. dangerously hot as we head into Independence Day. In Washington, D.C. I'm Michael Lester May for Fox Weather. It is 710 here on this Wednesday, July 1st at KNSS. Right now in traffic, things are starting to pick up quite a bit. We're seeing more traffic on the roadways right now. Really heavy traffic northbound on K-15, 47th Street South, in places all the way up through MacArthur, and then really slowing down in that road construction as they continue northbound towards I-135 there. So watch out in that road construction this morning. Traffic update from 987 at 1330 KNSS. The Accident Recovery Team Traffic Center. I'm Jed Chambers. And it's time for our extended weather forecast. Storm Team 12 chief meteorologist Ross Jansen with us. Good morning, Ross. Well, happy first day of July. Yay! To you guys. We are one month into summer season. Of course, that being meteorological season. So July... is month number two. And we've got some warmer weather coming up here as we head toward the 4th of July. We're certainly not going to have that extended period of hot weather or quite the extreme heat that they're going to have over the eastern two-thirds of the country. Our thoughts go out to those that don't have air conditioning and have about three to four days of highs getting up close to 100 degrees. It's going to be sad to say, probably deadly in some cities because this is going to be some pretty hot weather. Again, this is off to the east of Kansas.

around here. We're looking at low 90s the next couple of days. Some of the hotter weather in the near future will be coming in on Friday and Saturday as we're forecasting mid-90s, but then adding in the humidity is going to make it feel like above 100 degrees. So we'll take our turn at some hotter stuff coming up at the end of this week, but no prolonged stretch of dangerously hot weather coming up. We certainly don't have any major heat waves on the horizon, so that's some good news going into July. And we average about four inches of rain between now and the end of the month. We'll see where we get with that. We're not going to have any rain today, tomorrow or Friday, and even on Saturday for your 4th of July planning. If we do have some storms in Kansas, it would be north of I-70, not around here. So 92 on the high temperature today, becoming partly cloudy, we'll have a steady south breeze, and then tonight we'll drop back to 75, looking at 93 coming up tomorrow, and Friday, high 95. We could get into the mid and upper 90s on Saturday, but there is a cold front. And I know in July, everyone says, yeah, it's not really a cold front. Well, in meteorology, that's what we call it. But it's coming through Saturday night. Should bring a few thunderstorms to the area on Sunday, and it will help to knock the temperatures down. Not 70 degree weather, but I do think we could be back to near 90 to the high temperature at the back half of the weekend. So, yeah. I'm sorry to laugh, but, you know, that's not a cold front. You know, but in July, if you can squeeze by with just highs in the low 90s or around 90, I think that's a win. Because as most of us know, it could be hotter. What is the normal high for the early July this time? So early July, at least for today, it's 91. Our average high will go as high as 94 this month. And we'll stay there for a couple of weeks, and then the average high by the beginning of August starts to drop. So we're almost. climatologically speaking at the hottest point of the year. 75 right now in Wichita with some sunshine. That's your Storm Team 12 forecast, Chief Meteorologist, Ross Jansen. We got a nice bark out of May the weather dog yesterday, no May today. Uh, she's walking around here contemplating life. That's what the same thing I'm doing. Yeah, walking around contemplating life. She's looking out the window like maybe there's a rabbit or something out there. That's also what he's doing. Yeah, pretty much. Well, it's the simple things in life. Exactly. Do you have, so you obviously have a bunnies in your name. I've seen more bunny rabbits this year than I have in many, many years. Seems like they're everywhere. I wonder if that's directly tied to the Sahara dust, the wildfire smoke, or maybe it's just all the rainfall, I don't know. Well, we appreciate it, Ross. We thank you for being with us and keeping us updated, and we will talk to you again tomorrow. That's our extended weather forecast. Great stuff from Storm Team 12 chief meteorologist Ross Janssen. Don't forget, we have Storm Team 12 weather updates all day, every day here on KNSS. All right, Ted.

I guess, you know, we all know the famous scene with Michael Keaton, right, from the original 1980s Batman movie where he says, you know, I'm Batman. We know that thing, right? In this case, it would be soy Batman. Because move over Bruce Wayne, there's apparently a Mexican Batman. Oh. Uh, police in Mexico are searching for a mystery vigilante. Uh-oh. That locals have nicknamed Mexican Batman. All right. Yes. Over the past few weeks, five suspected motorcycle thieves have been found duct taped to light poles with the stolen motorcycles parked nearby. Apparently, some even have had the word thief written across their foreheads. Ouch. Now, before anyone starts ordering a cape, police are reminding everyone that the people found duct taped tube lamp posts are still actually considered victims, regardless of the fact that they are also suspected thieves. Officers believe that more than one person may be involved, but so far no arrests have been made. But now someone is actually pitching the idea of a Mexican Batman to DC Comics. Oh, well. But apparently there's a vigilante going around Mexico trying to capture motorcycle thieves and duct-taping them to lamp posts. And he's become a notorious Mexican Batman. So there you go. So Soy Batman. How about that? A Mexican Batman. duck taping thieves to lampposts in Mexico. Soy Batman. Some are calling it the wedding of the century. Singer Taylor Swift and Kansas City Chiefs tied in Travis Kelsey going the fairy tale route for their wedding. TMZ says they are building a massive castle inside Madison Square Garden. I guess if you're going to do it, that would be the place to do you got to have a big venue. There's video of two large white staircase banisters being loaded into the arena. Also, trucks labeled Garden Party, whatever that means. Okay. Guests were forced to sign an NDA. Non-disclosure. But for some reason, there's no penalty listed for violating it. point of it get banned on the you can't go to the reception or something yes uh also were not asked to sign away their rights to appear in camera sounds like there won't be a streaming special nor documentary film made from the event so far no invitations have been leaked to the press probably because they were watermarked with the recipients first and last name all over them Uh, so if one does end up online, she'll know who did it. She will know who it is. And you'll be, you'll be forever outed. You'll be forever on the, uh, you will not go to the persona. The arrowhead skybox with her. Yes. Uh, Taylor Swift's plane touched down in New Jersey yesterday. Soon after landing, she had a session with one of her favorite personal trainers. Meanwhile, Travis Kelsey was seen going on a run through the Tribeca neighborhood.

Yesterday afternoon, a red carpet was rolled out at Madison Square Garden and promptly removed. Apparently, workers put it out prematurely. Okay. Yeah. Still no word on the guest list, but page 6.com says Zoe Kravitz, Ed Sheeran. Gigi Haid, Selina Gomez, always got invites. It's been reported that Stevie Nix and Tim McGraw will perform at the wedding. Well, that would make it worth attending to hear Tim McGraw perform. How big is this wedding? The National Guard is going to be on the scene. It's that big. And with all the cops working the wedding, of course, that's going to cost 160 grand. No word if... Taylor and Travis are footing that bill or if taxpayers in New York City gets stuck with that tab. I'd rather have a colonoscopy. There you go. There's your big update. They're building a castle inside Madison Square Garden. Yeah. Mm-hmm. I literally could care less. It is 719 here with Woodward and Witt on this Wednesday morning.

As U.S. negotiators Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff meet with Qatari mediators but no Iranians in Doha, Iran is circulating a plan with U.S. ally Oman to collect tolls in the Strait of Hormuz, despite American objections. The White House reacting to the news, as reported by the New York Times, telling Fox, President Trump has been clear that Iran cannot control the strait, which is an international waterway. Tensions pushed oil prices slightly higher Tuesday ahead of the talks, but President Trump has been pressuring gas companies to lower... prices to 250 a gallon, accusing them of price gouging. Meantime Democrats, still broadly opposing military action, are expressing little faith in diplomatic efforts. That was Fox's Jackie Heinrich at the White House with that story.

Sedgwick County Commission Chairman Jeff Bluebaugh says addressing homelessness remains a top concern for local government. I'm wanting to drill down and discuss what are some of the root causes of homelessness. You know, we've heard over and over again, it's affordable housing. I agree with that. I'm, you know, I'm in the housing business myself. I realize it's going up. But I think a lot of it has to do with...

Root cause being mental health and substance abuse. Blue Ball appearing yesterday on Tuesdays with the chair on KNSS with Woodward and Witt. Over the summer, Wichita Public Schools is hosting Tour Tuesdays, highlighting needs and sharing information about the school bond issue coming up in November. Yesterday, an open house was held at Coleman Environmental Magnet Middle School. That's west of 13th and Rock in northeast Wichita. The open houses showcasing challenges faced in the district's older buildings. highlighting newer facilities that might be able to provide some better opportunities. The principal of Coleman says four of its hallways are domed. All the classrooms in that area are small and pie-shaped, and the second floors are tiny with no windows. She says if the bond issue passes, Coleman could get a new building and expand its environmental magnet theme. A deadline for immigrants in Spain to legalize their status has passed. With the scheme much more popular than the government, they're predicted. The Spanish government wanted to integrate foreigners working unlawfully, offering a one-year renewable residence permit for those living there at least five months with no criminal record. It was estimated half a million would apply. In fact, the final total will be close to a million and could even exceed that. The policy is a stark contrast to deportation efforts taking place elsewhere in the European Union. Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez called the measure an act of justice and an essential... that would bring equality and increased tax revenues. Jonathan Savage, Fox News.

It's partly sunny and 76 degrees here at Wichita's severe weather station, 987 and 1330, KNSS. Well, the Supreme Court wrapped up its term with several blockbuster rulings yesterday that are already reshaping the legal and political landscape. Joining us now to break down the rulings is Tanya Powers from Fox News Radio. Good morning, Tanya. Thank you for joining us this morning. Hey, thanks for having me on. Let's start with the two biggest headlines. The birthright citizenship ruling has generated intense debate. What are constitutional scholars and political leaders saying about the court's reasoning? And does this effectively settle the issue, do you think? I think I'm going to take the last question first. The short answer, I think, is no. And the reason I say that is because right after the ruling from the Supreme Court, which upheld the long-it-settled understanding of the 14th Amendment that dates back to right after the Civil War, there were Senate Republicans who were already urging Congress to pass legislation or a constitutional amendment to end birthright citizenship. That would be a bit of a tricky thing as far as now because that could... carry some political risks for Republican lawmakers who are, you know, already concerned about losing their narrow majority in the House and Senate in the midterms. So that could, you know, that might have an effect on, you know, how fast they might want to move to, to have legislation. The vote was six to three. I think that surprised people on two different levels. One of those is because Justice Amy Coney Barrett, who was appointed by President Trump, joined the court's three liberal justices as well as Chief Justice John Roberts in the majority on that case. Three of the courts conservatives, who Neil Gorsuch, Samuel Alito, and Clarence Thomas all dissented in the case. Clarence Thomas apparently felt so...

personal about this, I guess, that he wrote a 91-page dissent for this. It was more than three times as long as Chief Justice John Roberts' opinion in the majority. So just you kind of tell you, no, I don't think we've heard the last of this, is what I'm saying. Do you think on the other case, that was the court upheld state laws protecting women's sports, how significant is this ruling for Title IX and for other states like Kansas with similar laws on the books? Yeah, you're right about those, the two cases that had basically the same sort of, you know. idea was the state laws in Idaho and West Virginia that banned transgender girls and women from playing on school athletic teams. The Supreme Court did uphold those state laws, those bans, with a six to three vote with the conservative majority there, the six obviously. They have repeatedly ruled against trans Americans in the past year, so I don't think this ruling surprised a lot of people. There are more than, as you mentioned, more than two other, two dozen other states Republican-led ones that have adopted bans on female trans athletes. This decision seems to extend to those states as well. There are some things unresolved from this. There are some lawsuits that have challenged state laws, regulations in Connecticut and California and other places that permit transgender athletes to compete consistent with their gender identity. So this does not, you know, settle that kind of stuff, but it does, you know, basically say that the state bans do not violate the Constitution. So in a state like Kansas, we have a similar ban here. There are cases pending, but now this precedent would affect those lawsuits theoretically, correct? Apparently, from what I'm seeing, this ruling would affect the other states that have adopted bans on the female trans athletes. So I would assume that those bands would also kind of be upheld by the fact that these two were in Idaho and West Virginia. Looking ahead, what major issues are already headed towards the court next term? Are you seeing anything that they're likely to take up next term? You know, that's a good question. And I'm not really sure about that. That is part of this. I did a lot of homework on all of this yesterday. That is one thing I did not get into yet was the looking ahead. Yesterday was the last day of their term. I believe they start back up in, what, October. I think there's when their new term starts. But. Yeah, I mean, I know there are some that they've already said that they will and won't, you know, take up or deal with. Another one of the big rulings that we heard yesterday was the campaign finance one.

they struck down limits on the amount of money political parties can spend in coordination with candidates for Congress and for president. This basically overrides a federal election law that has been on the books for more than 50 years. And that one is not getting as much attention as some of the other rulings that they had in the last week or two. But that one is also pretty significant, you know, for the amount of money that is spent. in, you know, political, in elections in political races. Interesting. So essentially they're saying that the parties can spend, but that's only on Congress and president, not, not say, governors. Yeah, it is, it basically, it was the Republican-led lawsuit that came. It was filed in Ohio in 2022. It was joined by then-Senator JD Vance. the Republican Committee for House and Senate candidates filed that lawsuit in 2022. It's kind of the... Second, you know, part of the 2010 decision that kind of opened the door to unlimited independent spending in federal elections, this is sort of, I guess, building on that, so to speak. The limits on party spending come from a desire to prevent large donors from getting around caps on individual contributions to a candidate by directing sums of money that are basically unlimited to the party with the understanding of that money would be. spent on behalf of those candidates. So it is, it's a little bit more of an in the weeds kind of topic and, you know, not necessarily the big headline grabbing thing. But kind of like Citizens United, this one is, it's pretty significant because like I said, it overturns 50 years of what we've had as far as election, federal election campaign finance law up to now. Well, Tanya, we appreciate, I wasn't aware of that one. So thank you for sharing it with us. And we appreciate you joining us this morning. That was Tanya Powers with Fox News Radio. It is 744.

Only nine more years. I hope Bobby's saving well. They're still paying him for a season in which he didn't play for the Mets. That sounds like a Pirates thing to do, but it's actually a Mets thing to do. The Mets. They are a mess. I don't know how I get that gig. I'd like to get paid for a job I don't have to do. Every year on July 1st, sign me up. He never should have left the Pirates, Kirk. That's when he was happiest. He made all that money with the Mets, but he was miserable.

New reporting suggesting that the FAA is moving towards mandating technology that helps pilots locate nearby aircraft. This following a deadly Wichita to D.C. mid-air collision last year with a helicopter. The Federal Aviation Administration mandate reportedly being considered would require nearly all aircraft in civilian airspace to broadcast information like their location, direction, and call sign using technology that would help pilots see nearby aircraft, according to the Wall Street Journal. It's a move that safety advocates have wanted since the mid-air collision of an American Airlines plane and an Army Black Hawk helicopter in January 2025 that left all 67 people on board both aircraft dead. The potential mandate of the aircraft tracking technology would involve two components instead of the singular one already required by many aircraft. It would also apply to military aircraft in U.S. civilian airspace. Tanya J. Powers, Fox News. Congressional candidate Millette Keros has defeated 30-year Colorado Democrat Congresswoman Diana DeGette in Colorado's House primary yesterday. It's a stunning victory for the first-time candidate against a nearly 30-year incumbent. Keros, a former corporate attorney, is the latest Democratic socialist or progressive candidate to boot a Democratic incumbent this month. With the district covering the dark blue city of Denver, Kiros is expected to win in November and reach Congress in January. The new nominee joins two other Democratic Socialists who prevailed against establishment-backed candidates in New York City's House primaries last week. That was Fox's Ashley Strohmeyer with that story. The Sedgwick County Commission is meeting this morning. Only two new items of business on the agenda. One of them, the commission will be hearing a zoning request to allow mining or quarrying near 61st Street North and Tyler Road. That's not far from Mays. The commission is going to meet at 9 o'clock this morning downtown in the Ruffin building. The Wichita City Council and the Sedgwick County Commission gathered yesterday to discuss a variety of issues. including the desire for a law school in the Wichita area. Central County, DA, Mark Bennett believes the most viable option would be a satellite campus hosted by Washburn University or the University of Kansas, home of the state's two law schools.

Bennett was asked who would need to be involved to get the ball rolling. Washburn and KU, either one, are not going to simply be able to just find piles of cash lane around to invest in Wichita. They're going to need investment from or approval from the legislature. But we're going to need to show it's feasible. We're going to get the board of reasons behind it. One of the schools will have to volunteer or collectively they do. And the legislature will have to support it. Bennett believes a feasibility study would help answer a number of questions on the topic. The Pinnacle Weld Center for First Responders is progressing. The building has been purchased in the downtown area and a contractor has been selected. Works should begin in July with a completion date slated for the first quarter of 2027.

As Wichita gets ready to celebrate Independence Day, and America's 250th birthday, one of the biggest events of the holiday week is red, white, and boom. It's a free downtown celebration featuring food, family activities, and one of the region's largest fireworks displays over the Arkansas River. Joining us now is Shana Applehands, Marketing and Communications Manager for Wichita Parks and Rec. Tell us about the people, what people can expect and how to make most of the celebration. Shana, thank you for joining us. Pleasure to have you on the show with us this morning. Well, thanks so much for having me. I'm really excited to tell everybody about red, white, and boom. We're looking forward to this year's event. This is actually our 10th year having red, white, and boom in downtown Wichita, so we're pretty excited. This is going to be this Saturday, July 4th. The event starts at 6 p.m. at the Hyatt Lawn. We'll have food truck vendors. Some activities, it's a great chance for people to come out and get a great seat before the fireworks begin. We've got Kona Ice, Hot to Trots, Smoke and Diner, Busybees, Funky Monkey Monchies, Pickle Pink, and Brazida bites that will all be out there. We've got great seating options along the riverbank on the east side. between Douglas and Maple. So you can bring a blanket to sit on or some folding chairs, whatever you're comfortable in. What's really cool about this year is that we've partnered up with the wind surge and the fireworks are going to happen simultaneously at the end of their game. So they'll be shooting off fireworks inside the stadium while we're shooting off fireworks outside of the stadium along the riverbank. Wow. Sounds like a lot of fireworks. Give us the logistics. I mean, when should people arrive? Where are the best viewing areas? You know, what food activities, that kind of stuff. Yeah, so our food truck vendors will open up around 6 p.m. and we're estimating the fireworks to start at about 9.30 or immediately following the wind surge game. And we've got a pyrocast app that will actually sync music to the fireworks show. So people can download that before they come or we'll have QR codes on site that people can scan and download so they can.

hear the synchronization of music with the fireworks while they're there watching. And this year's show is actually going to be just a little bit longer because we have America's 250th birthday celebration and because we've partnered with the wind surge to combine both shows and make it a really spectacular event. So, I mean, it sounds like a little bit of cloudy and, you know, decent weather, no rain in the forecast. And you say that's the PyroCast app. How does that work? And I mean, how do folks get that? They just go to the app store and download that app? Yeah, it's good for Apple and Android users. You just go to your App Store, download PyroCast, and then you can put in show code APG8. And even if they don't remember the code, that's okay because there will be a list of nearby shows that they can select red, white, and boom and be able to listen to the synchronization live. So that's Saturday the 4th. It's the free family friendly. Say that three times. The free family friendly community event features food and vendors and festivities. It starts at six, correct? Yes, sir. All right. You mentioned a 10th annual. Have crowds been pretty consistent over the years on this? And are we expecting more with this being on a Saturday and the 250th? Yeah, we're setting a really good turnout, and especially with the wind surge having a home game, that's just going to help being more people to downtown and watch this amazing fireworks show. Just in case anybody wants to check out more information about great parking options and road closures, they can visit our website at wichita.gov slash boom. Sounds great. Looking forward to it. All right. We appreciate you. Thank you for joining us this morning. That was Shana Applehance with the Wichita Parks and Rec. Sounds like a lot of fun. And I go to remember again, that's Pyrocast. That's the app that you want to get. So you get the music and sync it up with the fireworks. That's pretty cool. It's coming up on Saturday night. So get ready for that on July 4th. Hey, Kellogg, listen up. Six decades later, here's a road that opened in Vermont. Officials cutting a 61-foot-long ribbon while listening to songs from 1965 with Burlington's mayor in the passenger seat of a 1965 Ford Mustang leading the first cars on the parkway. It took 61 years for the road construction project to be completed. It connects Interstate 189 with Pine Street in Burlington's South End. The couple thousand feet of fresh pavement is expected to reduce traffic in the area by about 10 to 20%. City leaders acknowledge a project and...

Process was far from perfect. Officials pointed to the need for change in Vermont and U.S. law to make sure infrastructure projects like this one don't take so long in the future. C.J.

The Supreme Court wrapping up its term resolving cases involving transgender athletes, campaign finance rules, and birthright citizenship. The U.S. Supreme Court struck down President Trump's executive order, finding the 14th Amendment confers citizenship upon most people born here. President Trump said, then Congress should work to end birthright citizenship now, and how Speaker Mike Johnson reacted. I think it's clearly an issue that merits the attention of Congress. I don't know what the remedy is, how to define it, or the timeline. It would be premature for me to...

project that, but I will tell you that it's a big concern with the American people because it's been abused. The justices also ruled states can block transgender athletes from competing in girls and women's sports. They also ended caps on political party expenditures when coordinating with individual candidates, finding the limits violated the First Amendment. Jessica Rosenthal Fox News.

Scientists are offering new hope that patients can be cured from cancer with a single treatment. You might say Lori Atomai is a modern day miracle. After 12 brutal years of fighting a blood cancer called follicular non-Hodgkin lymphoma, she was out of options and nearly out of time. Months, like the cancer was going to kill me rapidly.

She went through years of traditional chemotherapy until she heard about a highly specialized immunotherapy called CAR-T-cell, where doctors take white T-cells out of your body, infuse them with cancer-fighting antigens, and then put the supercharged T-cells back into the patient. They're like Pac-Men running all over the place. While nonprofits fund the research, the problem remains the price. That was Fox's Anita Vogel.

So I think that it be a great opportunity to, you know, let us have our own interpretation of the law down here. Blue ball appearing on Tuesdays with the chair with Woodward and Witt on KNSS.

For the Wichita Business Journal, I'm Kirk Semenach. Well, Kirk, I know you're a fixture on our show every day. I'm a little bit worried that you might not be here tomorrow. I wonder what time will you be setting up your Adirondack chair for your spot for red, white, and boom on Saturday night. If you don't get there early, you don't see all the great fireworks. Exactly. Yep. So I know you're planning early for that, but I trust you'll be here tomorrow with us. I think you're a stout-hearted man. You'll be here. And at 901, I will get ready to go downtown. Yep, yep, that's the plan. I appreciate your dedication to what we're doing here. And, of course, you got Team USA soccer tonight. So there's another thing occupying your time. You'll have to stay up tonight and watch that and see if all those guys that are falling down on purpose and acting like they have just received a broken leg and somehow hop up and play the rest of the game. We can look forward to that tonight. I just screamed, play on, play on! You didn't see Norman Piper and Jorgon Christensen falling down all over the place when they were playing for the wings. They were upright and scoring goals. That chirp was like an eighth-inch thick, too. They were really suffering. Those guys were going down on concrete. They were still playing. Well, no wonder Jorgon Christensen oiled up his legs like that. Probably try to keep getting bruises on that concrete at the Coliseum. He was always a popular one on the night club circuit after those games. Well, I'll let you get going, Kirk. We appreciate it. And we'll talk with Kirk tomorrow morning. That's the editor at the Wichita Business Journal Kirk Seminoff with another local business update. Hey! That's a pretty good show today, wasn't it? Yeah, not bad. Better than kicking the pants. We'll do another great show tomorrow, even better. Thank you, John. Thank you, Ted. Thank you, Chad. And as always, thank you for listening and have a great day. Woodward and Witt, 987 and 1330, KNS, NSS, Wichita. Have a great day.
