Getting ready for another global summit

Wichita's number one talk. Good morning. It is 801 here on this Monday morning, June 15th, on KNSS. We will tell you about an agreement to end the war. Currently in Wichita, we have a sunny sky to 62 degrees here on this Monday morning. The United States and Iran say they have agreed to end the war. We don't have full details of the interim agreement. Mediators Pakistan say it'll be signed in Switzerland on Friday. Congratulations to all, wrote President Trump on social media, adding that he's immediately removing the U.S. blockade of Iranian ports. Iran says it will implement the deal only when it's signed. The memorandum of understanding will be followed by 60 days of talks on Iran's nuclear program. The Pakistani government says the framework agreement includes ending Israel's military operation. in Lebanon, but Israel insists it won't withdraw from land. It seized Jonathan Savage. Fox News. Wichita Police are investigating after a man who died from a gunshot wound on Sunday. Central County Dispatch confirmed one person was critically heard following a shooting in downtown Wichita. The shooting was originally reported around 1145 a.m. in the 400 block of North Market near the downtown YMCA. When officers arrived, police said they found a 59-year-old man inside his car with a gunshot wound. Despite life-saving efforts, he was pronounced dead at the hospital a short time later. Police said a preliminary investigation shows that the victim arrived at the location with the gunshot wound, and although... the victim was located downtown, there was no evidence to indicate that the shooting happened in the 400 block of North Market. Investigators are working to determine what led up to the shooting and who was responsible. Phil Hildebrand, K&SS News. A majority of the inmates on death row in Kansas recently filed for clemency from the governor's office. Kansas Secretary of State Chris Kobach is among several lawmakers leading the fight to have these grants denied. Kobach was asked if he thought Governor Laura Kelly would uphold the death sentences or grand clemency. You know, I really don't know. I know that she is against the death penalty as are most members of her party. But on the other hand, I know that you have the entire Kansas judicial system, which has come to the very firm conclusion that the death penalty is warranted and there is no doubt whatsoever of the guilt. And these are among the worst of the worst crimes. So I really don't know where the governor is standing, but I'm urging Kansas to write her and email her and just say, please do not commute these death sentences. Chris Kobach was a guest last evening on the John Whitmire show here on KNSS. It is 804 here on 987 and 1330, KNSS. It is 807. If you're a fan of the Old West, there's a special recreation of an American legend. The 2026 National Pony Express Rewride. It's a ride on horseback stretching over 1,900 miles. Riders dressed in authentic period attire will carry a bag with nearly 1,600 commemorative letters to honor the Pony Express mail service that help connect the nation. Organizers call it a special event that coincides with the nation's 250th birthday celebration.

The Pony Express R-Ride Relay starts in St. Joseph, Missouri this afternoon and wraps up in Sacramento, California Thursday. The original Pony Express service was only around from 1860 to 1861, but it left a lasting impression on the USA. Jill Nato, Fox News. Congress allowed key provisions of FISA, Section 707, one of the nation's most important foreign intelligence tools to lapse after failing to reauthorize the program. Supporters say it has helped prevent terrorist attacks and identify foreign threats, while critics have raised concerns about privacy and government surveillance. Joining us now to discuss the national security implications of not renewing FISA, Section 702. is Tanya Powers from Fox News Radio. Good morning, Tanya. Hope you had a nice weekend. Good morning. Yeah, it was good. The next one, we're all happy. Yes. Maybe you're a Miami Hurricanes fan. They won two. That was the, yeah, I believe that was the Carolina Hurricanes, but yeah. Oh, sorry. See, you can tell I'm not a hockey fan. Yeah, I know that. I was grateful to see that my dear friend and colleague Grinnell Scott, Carolina Hurricanes, did indeed win the Stanley Cup. He is most excited. We'll probably have his jersey on today in the newsroom here. My penguins didn't get anywhere close, but it's okay. I'm happy for them. Tanya, for listeners who may not be familiar with it, FISA, like I said, is that foreign intelligence tool that... uses mostly to identify potential terrorist threats. How significant is the expiration of this authority from a national security standpoint? Well, it is, like you said, a key spy tool for the U.S. And from what we understand, the FISA law is clear that companies. I want to say companies, I'm talking about electronic communication service providers. They still got to continue to comply with the government's collection request, even after a lapse, from what we understand, that they risk a fine of about $250,000 a day if they don't comply. So, you know, hopefully this lapse won't last very long. It looked like there was going to be a compromise. on the FISA renewal for this. This has been going on for, you know, a couple of decades now. And every time there's a renewal, there's usually a bipartisan push to reform parts of Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, just the FISA thing we keep talking about. There, sometimes Americans' information, calls, text, emails, that kind of thing, can get swept up in the dragnet of... you know, surveillance for foreigners, sometimes American stuff gets in there as well. So there's, they're, they usually try and reform it and, you know, protect Americans' privacy, that kind of thing is the point behind that. This time, uh, it looked like there was, was going to be some sort of, you know, agreement on all of this.

Many years ago, probably about 10, if I remember my T-shirt correctly, when we won the Stanley Cup in 2016. Before that, a friend of mine was big into hockey and kind of got me into hockey, and they were a Red Wings fan, and they were playing the Penguins. I was like, well, the Penguins cute. I like the Penguin's cute. That's adorable. I just sort of like fell into it that way. And then, you know, I became a big, I actually became a fan. I learned about the sport and became a fan. And so, yeah, that's that's. It's a girl from the South becoming a penguin fan is a bit of an odd thing, truly. But, yeah, it's a fun sport. I enjoy watching it. It's a lot of fun. And, you know, I'm very excited for the hurricanes. I know there are some former penguin players on that team as well. So good for them. All right, love it. Thanks for the background story. We appreciate you joining us. That was Tanya Powers with Fox News Radio. It is 815 here with Woodward and Witt. Wichita Police arrested a man and woman this in connection to the death of a four-month-old boy. Police say a report of a baby not breathing was received just before 12.45 p.m. Friday from the 1,700 block of West Estner Avenue in southwest Wichita. EMS and Wichita fire units arrived and found the baby had passed away. Police investigators with the WPD Homicide Unit, as well as the exploited and missing children's unit, responded to the scene to investigate the circumstances of the death. Officers discovered three other children, aged four and younger. Both parents, a 30-year-old man and a 27-year-old woman were arrested and booked into the Sedgwick County Jail for four counts of aggravated endangerment of a child and child abuse. The children were placed into protective custody. Roddy Price, KNS News. A deadly plane crash in Missouri. Fox is Kathleen Maloney with the details. Eleven skydivers and a pilot were killed when a private plane went down near Butler Memorial Airport Sunday, cause of the crash under investigation. Nothing criminal that we can see, nothing. terrorism related or anything like that. Those are some of the first questions that we would have with the World Cup being in the town. Base County Sheriff Chad Anderson says the plane crashed into a field near the airport and burst into flames. The FAA says the plane was a Pacific aerospace 750 and it had gotten up to about 13,000 feet before it descended. It was operated by a skydive Kansas City, Kathleen Maloney, Fox News. The White House celebrating the history of old glory.

On June 14, 1777, the Second Continental Congress adopted a resolution declaring that the American flag of the United States be made of 13 stripes, alternate red and white, that the Union be 13 stars white in a blue field, representing a new constellation. In a statement, the White House says Old Glory is a physical representation of our storied past, shared sacrifice, common heritage, and divine destiny. Adding, in the 250th year of our glorious republic, this flag day celebrates the American people whose enduring spirit allows our beloved and timeless tricolor standard to fly as the greatest symbol of freedom, democracy, and sovereign strength the world has ever known. Kristen Goodwin, Fox News. Yesterday was Flag Day, and this is National Flag Week. It is 817 here with Woodward and Witt at KNSS. The traffic volumes are already starting to die down a little bit. Things are starting to look better on the highways right now. And, of course, the traffic conditions are looking good. Right now, just about everything's actually looking okay out there. Not really seeing any problems on the highways this time. Traffic update from 987 and 1330 KNSS. In the Accident Recovery Team Traffic Center, I'm Jed Chambers. And a look at our weather forecast on this Monday. It looks like... Let's check in with the Storm Team 12 meteorologist Jake Don. Yeah, good morning, Jake. Good Monday morning. Another nice day around the region, mostly sunny, a light south breeze and a high of 83. Partly cloudy, a small chance of a storm late tonight, overnight low 64. Partly cloudy and a small chance of a storm on Tuesday, but mainly south of Wichita. A little bit warmer, high 89. Hot on Wednesday, a high of 100, our first time this year in the city, and then storms arrive. Wednesday evening. That's your forecast from Storm Team 12. I'm meteorologist Jake Dunn. And currently in Wichita, we do have a sunny sky. It is 66 degrees here on this Monday morning at Wichita's severe weather station, 987 and 1330 KNSS. 819 here with Woodward and Witt, and now it's time to take a look at what's going on in sports. Sports is brought to you by Serta Pro Painters. Schedule your free estimate online at surtapro.com. Start out with Major League Baseball, the Kansas City Royals yesterday afternoon, finishing up a homestand against the Houston Astros on a day in which the Royals got enough hitting. Great pitching.

And it got a shutout. That means you probably had some pretty good defensive plays along the way, too. You heard the game. Denny Matthews with the call yesterday on 975 and 1240, KFH. Oprah Fido leading off for Houston here in the second. He got jammed in a soft looping liner and a dive by Witt. And a terrific catch. Boy, defense. The Royals here in the first two innings has been terrific. So Bobby Witt laying out to his right. He was very close to second base when contact was made. That's another one of those superhero plays that seems like only he can make. And on his 26th birthday, he's having a nice start to the game, isn't he? Heck of the catch. Yeah, good stuff right there. Royals starting pitcher, Stephen Colick, went seven and a third innings of shutout work. He's got a 2.68 earn run average. Royals over the Astros 4 to nothing. Now the Royals head on the road to the nation's capital to take on the nationals in interleague play. The Royals and the Nationals, live coverage begins at 5 p.m. on 97-5 and 1240, KFH. Over the weekend, the pro basketball season came to an end. The Knicks have won their first NBA championship in 53 years, or the final score 94 to 90. Knicks superstar Jalen Brunson was unstoppable in San Antonio, scoring 45 points. It was a big comeback, of course, again, just like in game four. The Spurs were favored to win, which would force a game six next week, but that didn't happen. The Spurs couldn't stop the Knicks. New York last won the NBA championship in 1973 when they beat... the Los Angeles Lakers four games to one. And the last time the Knicks were in the finals, it was 1999 when they played and lost to the spurs. And that was Fox's Chandley Painter with that story. And of course, former Wichita State Shocker, Landry Shamet, was right there on the floor at the final buzzer at the end of game five when the Knicks won it all. Landry Shamet gets a nice NBA ring with the Knicks. Happy birthday today to former Wichita Wings Defender, Victor Morland. Pretty good soccer player, born in Belfast in Northern Ireland, played for the Wings in the late 80s into the early 90s. Happy birthday to Wings Defender, Victor Morland. He is 69 today.

We've got lighter traffic volumes out there, so things really haven't picked up. Now, I am seeing some fairly heavy traffic right now, kind of in the Delano area that we're talking about here. McLean and Second Street, and right there up and down Seneca, they're in the Delano area, just some fairly heavy traffic. Right around there, traffic update, 987 and 1330 KNSS.

The continental United States will not be within range and they won't have nuclear weapons to hit our country. Now, will Trump ever get credit for all the lives that will never be able to calculate he say, no. But for those people that were willing to roll the dice for their children and grandchildren, you're the people I don't understand. Where's your common sense and logic? What part of Reagan's saying freedom is but one generation away from extinction. Are you missing? Check out the Sean Hannity radio show later today. Right here.

It is 69 degrees here on this Monday morning. The United States and Iran reach a tentative deal to end the war and reopen the Strait of Hormuz. That deal will be signed Friday in Switzerland. Much of the world is breathing aside relief after the U.S. and Iran reached an interim deal to end their months' long war on all fronts, including in Lebanon. A formal signature is set for Friday in Switzerland. President Trump says the vital strait of Hormuz will reopen once the deal is officially signed. The waterway was originally supposed to reopen as soon as an agreement was reached, but officials say they need time to clear mines. The U.S. blockade on Iranian ports is also expected to be lifted on Friday and once signed. the agreement will launch a 60-day negotiation period on Iran's nuclear program and to officially end the war. That's Fox's Ashley Stromeyer with that report. A Kansas school that helped end segregation in America has earned a national honor.

The National Park Service added the Madam C.J. Walker School in Merriam to the National Register of Historic Places, which unlocked new restoration funding that supporters need. The school was built in 1888. In 1947, the district built a new school and became segregated, forcing Walker students to learn in the two-classroom building. Following this, families filed a lawsuit. In 1949, the Kansas Supreme Court upheld a state law prohibiting segregation in small towns. That case is considered a forerunner to the landmark Brown v. Board of Education lawsuit in 1954. Phil Hildebrand, KANSS News. The American Meat Producers Association is running a nearly half million dollar TV ad campaign targeting U.S. Senator from Kansas. Dr. Roger Marshall. That was funded by a San Francisco, California animal rights activist. They want to tell Kansas farmers how to raise cattle, how to raise pigs. So we're pushing back on them. Maybe they've done a little bit of a misleading ad, but we'll see if we can't get this figured out. I think anybody that knows me that knows how hard we're fighting for our American farmers and ranchers. Senator Marshall appearing on the DC Update Fridays with Woodward and Witt on KNS. Let's take a look at what's coming up this week. Monday, the G7 summit kicks off in France. President Trump is expected to attend.

There's also a nomination hearing for Hale Duncan to be Deputy Director of the Office of Management and Budget. And new Fed Chair, Kevin Warsh, holds his first policy meeting.

Friday, the U.S. men's soccer team plays their second group stage game in the FIFA World Cup on Fox taking on Australia in Seattle. And the widely anticipated movie, Toy Story 5, hits theaters. And that's a look at your week ahead. I'm Tom Graham, Fox News. The Pentagon releasing a new batch of UFO-related files, and four newly released videos were shot here in the United States. The files show that there have been several unusual encounters, multiple sightings of strange orbs in the sky, just over the last few years. Now, a couple months ago, the President Trump ordered his administration to make files related to aliens in extraterrestrial life public, and we now have that third batch of those photos, documents, and videos. Back in July, a couple... saw an intense bright light in their backyard around 9 p.m. and started recording on their iPhone 14. They described what they saw as a brilliant red sphere. They say the center appeared to be a white plasma sun. About the size of a basketball, they say when the orb moved, a second identical one appeared. And they say the orbs were moving as if they were flying in formation. That's Fox's Madison Scarpino with that report.

It's 849 with Ted Woodward and John Whitmire on 987 and 1330KNSS. Our Wichita Business Journal update is coming up, but first it's time for three big things. Three.

And the traffic volumes are still very light out there, and so things are looking pretty good on the roadways right now. A little bit of a problem, 47th Street South and K-15 is to have a little bit of heavy traffic right around that area at the moment. Traffic update from 987 and 1330 KNSS, the Accident Recovery Team Traffic Center. I'm Chad Chambers. Sunny and relatively mild today with a high of 83 degrees.

Now it is time to get a local business update from editor Kirk Semenoff from the Wichita Business Journal. Good morning, Kirk.

Good morning, Ted. Storytime Village Incorporated is asking the city of Wichita for incentives to support a planned $10 million literacy and child care center at the historic Holyoke Cottage near Wichita State University. The nonprofit is seeking a sales tax exemption tied to $3.5 million in industrial revenue bonds with the city council expected to vote on the request tomorrow. The project at 1704 North Holyoke will include a health core pediatric clinic. Wichita Public Library, Micro Library, and space for workforce and education partners. Led by Storytime Village and built by Hutton Corp, the center is expected to create about 20 jobs and host community events focused on literacy and family services. And United Way of the Plains is putting up a $1 million matching grant for second light to support homelessness services in the city. President and CEO Pete Newhara calls it the largest one-time grant in the organization's history and says it's meant to spur another million dollars in community donations. Second light board chair, Steve Dixon, says the funding will help provide shelter, meals, and case management for people experiencing homelessness. The push comes as federal ARPA funding is set to expire and after voters rejected a sales tax proposal earlier this year that would have supported similar efforts.

Do you know Teresa Vizi, Kirk? I do. I do. She works at the city now, and has worked at the art museum and a champion of journalism in this town. Yeah, she looks down on all of us because she is up on the, her office is up there on the penthouse on the 13th floor of City Hall. I wonder if she's superstitious at all about being on the 13th floor. She gets to survey her empire every day from the gorgeous view on the 13th floor of the city hall and the city manager's floor there. All right. So happy birthday to Teresa Vizi, a delightful listener of KNS. We appreciate it. And happy birthday, Teresa. Kirk, I hope you didn't have to get used Kellogg over the weekend because this is a mess. I did not, and I didn't hear why it was a mess. But I heard you mention it earlier. What was the problem? Well, they just, they're doing construction on all those ramps there at I-35 and Kellogg, and they just shut them all down for the entire weekend. Hmm. Hard to get to the west side or east side. Either way. Kirk, we appreciate it. Thank you for being with us. We'll have more local business news tomorrow from the Wichita Business Journal. Thank you, John. Thank you, Ted. Thank you, Jad. Of course. Thanks to you for listening. Yep. Monday. Woodward and Witt, 987 and 1330, KNS, Wichita.
