This is Woodward in Witt, on 987 and 1330 KNSS, Wichita's number one talk. Good morning. It is 6 o'clock. It's Wednesday, June 3rd. John Whitmire, Ted Woodward with you. Chad Chambers has the morning off. Coming up, we'll tell you about day six of the annual Riverfest in downtown Wichita. I'm Rodney Price. The Wichita City Council repealed a nearly 20-year-old parking ordinance Tuesday evening. We'll tell you what happened just ahead. Currently, it's mostly cloudy and 68 degrees. here in Wichita. The Wichita City Council unanimously voted to repeal a 2008 ordinance that had banned drivers from backing their vehicles into city-owned parking stalls. Staff recommended keeping the ordinance in place for a number of reasons, citing the thousands of dollars of property damage inflicted by drivers who backed up too far into stalls. They also cited the difficulty for parking enforcement to read the license tag of a backed-up vehicle. Between October 2025 and April 26, 340 citations had been issued to drivers for the offense. In late April, though, the city started issuing warnings instead. Despite the repeal, it is still illegal to back into on-street parking stalls. Rodney Price, KNSS News. Federal officials are warning of a flesh-eating parasite near the United States-Mexico border. U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins revealing New World Screwworm was found in a goat in Mexico, roughly 31 miles south of Texas. The case marks the closest detection to the U.S. during the latest outbreak. Experts are worried the parasite could cause billions of dollars in damage to the Texas and U.S. economy, raising beef prices by shrinking the cattle supply. Rollins telling reporters there's no doubt that this is a very, very serious threat to our livestock. The fly feeds off the flood. of living animals eventually killing its hosts, if not treated. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it's typically found in South America, but over the last several years, it's been detected farther north in Central America and Mexico. Kristen Goodwin, Fox News. Sedgwick County Commission Chair Jeff Blubaw says commissioners are looking this week at homeless issues. No doubt housing has went up and it's outside of affordability. But is that really... the root cause of all this homelessness or is it addiction? So I've asked the sheriff from the DA for some additional information and Mayor Wu and I are working together on this because to me it seems like addiction, criminal activity. A lot of that is the... the root cause of homelessness. Blue Ball appeared yesterday on Tuesdays with the chair on KNSS with Woodward and Witt. Today is day six of the annual River Fest in downtown Wichita. This afternoon at 2 o'clock, there's children's performances and entertainment.

Kuwait's defense ministry says several drones targeted its airport's passenger building, causing damage and injuries. Commercial flights were suspended. Meanwhile, Bahrain intercepted incoming Iranian missiles. Iran's Revolutionary Guards says they were aimed at the headquarters of the United States Navy's fifth fleet.

Fox's Jared Max with that story. 27 years since the Spurs beat the Knicks and the NBA Championship, the teams renew their relationship later tonight. Game one of the NBA Finals in San Antonio, where it costs over 37% less to live than in Manhattan, New York City, the home of the Knicks. Yet the cost for the cheapest ticket for Game 1 of the NBA Finals, one day ahead of tip-off, was 82% cheaper in San Antonio than for Game 3 in New York, $786 versus $4,428 at Secondary Ticket Reseller Seat Geek. The Knicks and Spurs played three times this past season, including the final of the NBA Cup, the in-season tournament, won by New York. The Spurs won the other meetings, and are the clear betting favorite to win the NBA title, which would be their sixth. The Knicks haven't won since 1973. Max Fox News. Former Wichita State star Landry Shamet plays for the Knicks. There's a chance that hunting and fishing could soon be banned. in the state of Oregon. A petition to ban hunting, fishing, and trapping in Oregon currently has 125,000 signatures, exceeding the amount needed to, if verified by the state, potentially go to voters this fall. If passed, the law would criminalize injury or killing animals, including killing for food. The group, people for the ethical treatment of animals pushed the so-called Peace Act petition. Opponents say hunting, fishing, and trapping are not only a way of life, but a crucial part of Oregon's economy. That accounts for $1.2 billion in spending every year in supporting thousands of jobs. Jeff Monasso, Fox News. It is 610. Time now for traffic with Chad Woodward. I'll do what I can. We get things going on your Wednesday morning commute already in the overnight hours. We did have a car versus deer collision, which we're starting to see about one of those a day. We did have a vehicle collide with a deer on the Kansas Turnpike south of Hayesville in the southbound lanes of the Turnpike at 95th Street South. We did have a car collide with a deer in the early morning hours today. Keep an eye out. That's a traffic update from 987 and 1330 KNSS in the Accident Recovery Team Traffic Center. I'm Ted Woodward. And now let's get a forecast with our meteorologist Jake Dunn. Good morning, Jake. Good morning. Expect a mostly cloudy Wednesday with a few showers in storms. South winds fly to 15 and a high of 82. Can't rule out a storm tonight, mostly cloudy in 66. A little bit more in the way of sunshine on Thursday, but also a small chance of a storm. Breezy with the high of 84, becoming mostly sunny and hot Friday with the high in the upper 80s. That's your forecast from Storm Team 12. I'm meteorologist Jake Dunn.

What was that you were saying? Eggs? How do you like? It is National Egg Day. Do I hear fried, boiled, basted, or sunny side up? Um, scramble cheese. Over easy, okay? Devil's eggs. There's deviled eggs. Stirred out an excellent day. Classic. It's no yolk. Bad yoke. Sorry, bad joke. Got to break some eggs. Showtime! It's no yoke. Hey. You knew somebody was going to make that one today. How do you like your eggs? Oh, you're asking me? Yeah, how do you like your eggs, did? I love a good omelet. Ooh, I love a good omelet. And they mentioned in there, they mentioned deviled eggs too in there, too. Yeah, that's probably my top two. I would say, I got to admit, my wife makes a really good, I love a good egg's Benedict. Yeah, yeah, you mentioned, and so does my sister. Love a good egg's Benedict. But see, the problem with eggs Benedict is it's very easy to ruin a good Holland days. Because, you know, one easy to make. No, it's not. No, it isn't. And you can't do hollandays in a jar. It's, I mean, you can, but it's just not the same. And I have tried to make hollandays. And what's so funny is my poor wife, she will, she knows I love it. And invariably, the first batch of hollandays always breaks on her. Right. Almost always, her first batch will break. And I always get that. You know, the razzam of razzar fish. Spang, spang, pong, and the pan goes in the sink. And then the second one comes out fine. Right. But, yeah, it's, I love a good hollandaise. So, and I love a good eggs Benedict. Very nice. Very nice. My mother used to make creamed eggs. Okay, you got to explain that one to me. I have no idea. It's one of the same. Sadly enough, we never got the recipe. before she passed. I think it's an English, because we're Scottish. I mean, my grandmother was Fannie McLeod from the Clan McLeod. I think it's an English or Scottish recipe. But it's like hard-boiled eggs that are then sliced and served in this creamy. Some sort of dairy added to the thing. Yes, it's a creamy dish. I would love someday to find the recipe of creamed eggs. Huh. Yeah, it's, I have no idea how to make it. And I wish it's one of those, you know, you see these services where people record, you know, sit down with grandma and record stories. That's one of the things I wish I'd ever gotten was my mother's recipe for creamed eggs. Because every time I think about it, I think about mom making creamed eggs. And, yeah, so, but yeah, I love a good, like you, I love a good omelet. Gordon Ramsey, you know, I've talked before about the pan, the hexquide pan. He has done these videos about making omelets. And apparently he's taught people on these videos how to make a good omel. Apparently, Gordon Ram, chef Gordon Ramsey makes a heck of an omelet. So that should do it.

I think I saw a video within the last few weeks of Martha Stewart was doing an omel. I've heard that too. She made it just look like it's as easy as picking something up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, it's not easy to flip an omelet in a pan. If you, you have some time when I try it, it goes everywhere. So, yeah, there you go. So it's National Egg Day. So, yeah, go figure. Here's one for you. This is a... So, you know, this weekend is obviously the first weekend of June, and if we're planning to put together a snack tray or cooler to take outside, like you go down to River Fest or something for the weekend, a survey has revealed lists of summer picnic foods. that are growing or declining in popularity. Okay. So, you know, if you're hip to the drip or something like that, you know, the dip as a case may be, the top ten items that made the new favorite list. Okay, so you got faucacia, which I'm not even sure what faucacia is. No, it's that... Tough bread. Tough type bread. Okay. Yeah, yeah. It's very trendy. Very, obviously. Panera and places like that are really big. And I'm real trendy. Yeah, I'm a redneck, so I'm not that trendy. Hey, come on. It's a picnic. I've got Wonderbread. There you go. Bingo. Yeah, I got. The ants are going to get into it anyway. I got Doritos. What do I need? Fokasha. Spanish tortilla. Again, another. Another trendy. No. This is the new favorites list. I'm not taking that on a picnic. Presuto. Again, this is all very bougie stuff. There you go. Number seven, salami. Now that I could do. Okay, salami. Number six, H-A-L-L-U-M-I. It's a Mediterranean cheese that can be grilled, apparently. Who's grilling cheese, by the way? You shouldn't, yeah. I don't know. Just make a grilled cheese. A chorizo. So it's a, boy, these are some bougie stuff. Number four, hummus. This is all very ethnic. Yes, it is. Number three, breadsticks. All right. Now, there's a little more.

Yeah, well, you know, what do I know? It's 618 with Woodward and Whet. And time now for sports with Ted Woodward. All right, let's see what's going on.

Let's go to Major League Baseball last night. Kansas City Royals going for two in a row against the Cincinnati Reds on the road in Cincinnati. You heard the game on 97-5 and 1240, KFH. After taking a 3-0 lead in the 4th, the Royals were unable to tack on any more runs, and ultimately they were unable to hold on to the lead. The Reds tied it in the bottom of the ninth inning 3-3. Then they won it in the 10th when Blake Duns singled home the game winner as the Reds were 4-3 victors. KC starter Noah Cameron pitched seven scoreless innings. He equaled a career high with eight strikeouts. He was brilliant. Game three of this series comes your way tonight. 610 first pitch will be on at 530 with the pregame show on the Royals Baseball Network. Yeah, and that's all over on 975 and 1240 KFH. Yeah. Great starting pitching. Yeah. And then the bullpen gives up runs in the 8th, the 9th, and the 10th. But we've heard this story before. Don't win games doing that? Right. Nope. All right. So the Royals and the Reds will go at it again tonight to decide that series. We do have a massive sports birthday today for the Chiefs. The great Emmett Thomas is 83 years old today. Defender, right corner for the Chiefs for 13 years. He is still the Chief's all-time interceptions leader with 58.

Wow. Top 10 all time in NFL history. Yeah, I was going to say. That's a lot of picks. After his playing days, he was a longtime assistant coach, including Chiefs defensive backs coach for most of the 2010. His number 18 is retired by the Kansas City Chiefs. He lives in Kansas City. He is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame, of course. And he's in the Kansas City Chiefs Hall of Fame. He got his Super Bowl ring playing for the Chiefs in Super Bowl 4 and two more rings as an assistant coach with the Washington Redskins. The amazing Emmett Thomas, great player. This is his birthday.

Wichita's number one talk. This is Woodward and Witt on 987 and 1330 KNSS. Good morning. It is 631. Ted Woodward and John Whitmire with you. Chad Chambers has the morning off. It is Wednesday, June 3rd. 987 and 1330 KNS says we do have a breaking news story for you. One person was rushed to the hospital in critical condition following a shooting reporting at the southwest corner of 85th Street North and Interstate 135 at the scene as of about 5.30 this morning. There was a large police presence with at least a dozen law enforcement vehicles at an RV dealership near the southbound on ramp to 135. So we will update you with more as we have that information. The Wichita Police Department has reported more than 750 car theft so far this year, while the figure is down from this time last year by about 8%. About half of the auto thefts in Wichita so far this year have happened in the last 90 days. Even when stolen vehicles are recovered, the crimes often leave people with damaged property, costing hundreds or even thousands of dollars to repair or replace. To keep property safe, police remind residents to never store value. like money, guns, tools, or jewelry and cars. In the state of Kansas, theft of property of at least $1,000 can lead to felony charges, a fine, and jail time. Drivers are advised to always keep their vehicles locked when parked and to make sure that anything valuable isn't in a position to be easily spotted by anyone outside of the vehicle. Drivers are also encouraged to park their cars in a garage or area that's well lit. Phil Hildebrand, KNSSS News. Recent Kansas weather leading to a bad harvest for the wheat crop this year. Some farmers are seeing up to 20% lower yields because of the drought and freezes this spring. Disease also a problem. One expert at Kansas State University said the worst areas include parts of central and southwest Kansas. Some communities are weeks ahead of when they typically harvest. The wheat has low test weights that can lead to lower quality flour. Elevators may even reject the crop. Recent rains have been helpful to some farms, but it could also help weeds grow, which can make the harvest more challenging. The Wichita State University Barton School of Business hosted Charles Koch and his son Chase Coke yesterday. The two were there for a leadership breakfast. During the breakfast, a conversation was hosted to talk about their new book, becoming a principal-driven leader. Charles Koch was asked what he wants to be the biggest takeaway from the book. We're in a time of turmoil, hatred, tribalism, and it's very scary. And I think the only way out is to focus on working for a society.

of equal rights and mutual benefit. The father-son duo said they hope the book will transform people's lives. During an appearance yesterday before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, discussing the continuing situation in Iran. Marco Rubio explained why it was so important for the United States to take action to stop Iranian ambition. They were going to build for themselves so many missiles, so many drones, so many conventional weapons, including a Navy. that at that point there's nothing you could do about it. The Secretary said the buildup was aiming to shield the Iranian nuclear program for many outside interference. And while Marco Rubio admitted nothing is guaranteed when it comes to dealing with the Iranians and securing a peace deal, he added the baseline has changed. If it doesn't work out, then obviously we still have a problem with respect to their nuclear ambitions. But what they won't have is the conventional shield behind any longer. Kevin Ureskes, Fox News. Businessman Philip Sarniky is among the Republican candidates for Kansas governor. He says the annual Kansas budget is $28 billion. Ten and a half billion of that has been added in the last seven years. Now, the Republicans could blame all of that on Laura Kelly, and certainly she's to blame for a big part of it. But quite frankly, a lot of these Republican leaders, I think, like spending the taxpayers' dollars as much as Laura Kelly does. Sarnakey appeared right here on Woodward and Witt yesterday on KNSS. Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche said during a House hearing yesterday that a compensation fund will end. Todd Blanche told an appropriation subcommittee the nearly $1.8 billion fund would not go forward. But even before that, the committee's ranking Democrat Rosa DeLoro said she had her doubts. I am not at all convinced that this administration has given up. Todd Blanche said later to Congresswoman DeLau, the agreement that led to the fund is an entirely separate matter and will stand. The settlement that the IRS entered into with President Trump. and others his family and his companies. Doloro said to her it appears to give the Trump family in business tax immunity. Gernal Scott Fox News. A memorial site has been created in Alexandria, Virginia to remember those killed in last year's collision between a Wichita to D.C. passenger jet and a Black Hawk helicopter. A memorial honoring the 67 people killed has been built in Alexandria along the Potomac. It features a plaque and benches beneath a tree at Rivergate City Park. Virginia Congressman Don Byer told Fox 5 DC, The city was just terrific. City of Alexandria to work with us to find a place in the city. It's actually perfect because if you look out where the accident happens, it's just right there.

The mayor of Alexandria said the families of those who were killed participated in the design based on what would be meaningful to them. A number of people spoke at a dedication ceremony, including the chair of the National Transportation Safety Board, who urged Congress to adopt their safety recommendations following an investigation into the crash.

Now, the closes were off their session lows, but we still saw triple-digit losses.

It's the National Day where we, it's a perfect time to get a crack on celebrating this extra special food holiday. I'm sorry, it's in the script. Eggs are a nutrient-rich food that has gone back and forth with science and nutritionists over the decades, with people asking how many eggs are too many for a healthy diet.

Whatever the decision is this year, we know one egg provides an excellent source of protein and vitamin D at 75 calories and 5 grams of fat. It's an easy choice to satisfy your hunger as well. Some five egg-solent facts. Oh, my gosh. I didn't write it. I just read it. About 100 billion eggs are produced by American egg farmers each year. Fresh eggs are hard to peel, by the way. The average American consumes about 285 eggs a year. Egg shells have more than 17,000 pores. You didn't know that. And storing eggs upside down makes them last longer. So there you go. Today is National Egg Day, Tom. And how do you like your eggs? I like them bad anyway. Most of the time I eat them scrambled. I eat eggs every morning. And I've always told people because I'm not much of a chicken eater that I love eggs because that's less chickens. I like egg. Yeah, but what came first, Tom, the chicken or the egg? That is a very good question. And I do not have the answer. So here's another question for you. What state in the United States is the largest producer of eggs? Do you know that one? I believe it's Iowa. Let us see. Let's see if you are correct. You are correct. It is Iowa. Oh, he nailed it. At 13, over 13 billion eggs. How? Yeah, there you go. Them Iowans know how to make, how to produce their eggs, apparently. Between eggs and hogs, they have both. Look at, see, well, wait a minute, why am I asking the commodity guy? I should have known that. You know, see, how would I know? So how are eggs trading today, Tom? You know, they used to trade eight futures years ago. Did they really? Yes, they did. Okay. So, and, you know, it was funny that he would say, I like eggs because I don't like chicken. So there you go. All right, Tom. Well, go make yourself an egg salad sandwich, all right? Okay, dope. Have a good day, my friend. That was Tom Kelly Loeffler, Kelly Loeffler Commodities, with our commodity update. It is 643 with Woodward and Witt on 987 and 1330 KNSS. Coming up, Ted, we've got some interesting updates. I'm sure. How many days out are we from the World Cup now? Eight. Eight days. A week from tomorrow is the first game. Barely a week. And I'm sure we'll get another story from the pitch coming up, right?

Certainly will. We'll take a look at the stock market from yesterday. And one of those missing scientists. Yes, the body of one of them has been found. Still a lot more questions and answers. Wow. We'll look at that as well. Okay. There we go. Coming up on Woodward and Whitt on 987 and 1330, KNSSS. 987 and 1330 KNSS. It's 648 with Ted Woodward and John Whitmire on 987 and 1330 KNS. Now it's time for three big things. Three. Cora obtained emails raise new transportation or, excuse me, transparency questions. As El Dorado residents pressed city leaders over potential data center development in Butler County. Two. Kansas moves to invalidate some driver's licenses issued to transgender residents. under the new law passed earlier this year. Kansas wheat farmers are reporting yield losses up to 20% as drought, freeze damage, and an unusually early harvest take a toll on crops. That's three big things with Woodward and Witt on 98-7 or 1330 KNSSS. Take a look at traffic with Ted Woodward. And here on your Wednesday morning commute, we have a little bit of a slow-moving spot on the south side of town along the 47th Street South corridor, a little slow at hydraulic and at I-135 and at Broadway, along 47th South as traffic picks up this morning. Traffic update from 987 and 1330 KNSS in the Accident Recovery Team Traffic Center. I'm Ted Woodward. Isolated showers and storm throughout the day in the high of 82 degrees today.

A missing scientist has been found dead in New Mexico once again under mysterious circumstances. 53-year-old and Melissa Casillas had been missing since June 26th of last year. She was working as an administrative assistant at Los Alamos National Lab where the world's first atomic weapons were developed during World War II. Investigators announcing her remains were found by a hiker in a national forest about 10 miles from her northern New Mexico home in an area that had been searched before. A handgun was also found alongside her body. When Casillas vanished, her personal belongings. including her purse, IDs, and cell phones had been left behind, and both phones had reportedly been factory reset. Casillas is one of at least 10 people with high-level access to sensitive U.S. nuclear and aerospace research who've either disappeared or died under murky circumstances in recent years, at least three of whom still remain missing to this day. State police say an extensive investigation into what happened to Cassius remains active. There's more on this story at foxnews.com or subscribe to the Fox True Crime Podcast.

Brought to you by the first ever Infinity QX-65 and by Lowe's. Give your yard its own moment with new limited time deals from Lowe's. Spain had never won a World Cup. For decades, they'd been football's great underachievers, the Cup of perpetual quarterfinals. Then a generation came through Barcelona's LaMascia Academy and Real Madrid's youth ranks and rewrote everything. Javi, Eniesta, Jabi Alonzo. Sergio Busquettes. Possession football refined to a fine art, kinky-taka, hundreds of short passes, opponents chasing shadows. They lost their opener to Switzerland, then won 6th Street. The final against the Netherlands was a bruising, ugly affair. One nil-nil ground out, deep into extra time, until Eniesta arrived at the back post and side foot of the volley pass Martin Stecklenberg. Spain, world champion. Stay tuned to this Odyssey Station for more stories from the pit. And let's look back and see what happened on the stock market yesterday. I'm Seth Soutelle, and this is the AP Market Support. Stocks edged up to more records on Wall Street as winners of the artificial intelligence boom kept driving the market higher. The S&P 500 rose a tenth of a percent. The Dow added 228 points. That's about 4 tenths percent. The NASDAQ composite edged up less than a tenth of a percent. Semiconductor company Marvel Technology jumped more than 32 percent. That came after the CEO of NVIDIA said Marvel could be the next company to be worth more than a trillion dollars.

Alphabet fell 3.9%. The parent company of Google said it's raising $80 billion to help pay for its AI investment. Seth Sito, New York. It is 653. So, Ted, you know, you just gave us the update on the World Cup. And there are probably a lot of folks that are thinking of traveling, you know, maybe coming to the United States or maybe traveling to see a World Cup match. A man named Barry Hoffner has been traveling quite a bit. He says he's visited every country on earth. Oh. Except for one. And yeah, well, that's another story in it of itself. He says traveling light is the secret to surviving life on the road. Are we going to find out what that one country is? No, he doesn't say. This is according to the New York Post. But he says traveling life is the secret to surviving life on the road. In case, oh, no, it does. In case you're wondering, the only country left for him is North Korea. He's never been to North Korea. But he plans on going soon. So he's going to travel to every company. Okay, fine. According to Barry, here are the five things you should never leave home without. Okay, here you go. So number one, number five, a most important, he says, Starbucks Instant Coffee Packs. Got to have Starbucks instant coffee packs. Number four, earplugs for noisy hotels and city streets. Number three, marino wool t-shirts, which seems specific, but he says they can be warm for days without smelling. Oh, okay. Which, you know, I guess if you're going to travel the world, you're going to need, you know, uh... You're going to need lots of different variable clothing. Number two, he also swears by a backpack instead of rolling luggage because some roads and airports just aren't roller bag friendly. And the number one thing he says, if you're going to travel around the world, a portable power bank because you never know when you're going to have electricity. So there you go. According to Barry, who travels the world, that's the stuff you need to have. So if you're going to go to the World Cup match. There you go. Starbucks instant coffee packs. It comes in handy. Never leave home without a Starbucks instant coffee bag. So coffee bag. According to Barry. What's up? I guess we'll see how well he does when he goes to North Korea. You know, if I had a bucket list to places I wanted to go visit, I'm thinking North Korea would not be on my list. Not very high on my list. It would not be high on my list either. But hey, all right, Barry. Thanks. It is $6.55. Coming up, we're going to tell you about fireworks. Yep, 4th of July.

only about a month away. And some families may be wondering whether their annual fireworks tradition will cost more this year as prices rise and many everyday, everyday, good. So that's coming up. Woodward and Witt on 987 and 1330 KNS.SF. Ted Woodward and John Whitmire. This is Woodward and Witt on 987 and 1330 KNS, Wichita's number one talk. Good morning. It's 7 o'clock. Ted Woodward and John Whitmire with you. Chad Chambers has the morning off. It is Wednesday, July 3rd. It is mostly cloudy and 68 degrees. Two people are critically injured following a crash southeast of Wichita. A crash happened around 7.34 p.m. at the intersection of 79th Street South and Greenwich, just east of Derby on Tuesday evening. Multiple vehicles were involved with two people critically injured and two people seriously injured. Deputies at the scene set a car driving east on 79th Street. did not stop at a stop sign. It rear-ended a GM truck with five people inside. The truck spun, hitting a third vehicle. All of the injuries affected the passengers of the truck that was rear-ended. The United States is racing to restock the Strategic Oil Reserve. which has been drained by the war with Iran. The plan is eventually to refill this, and there is a plan for that. The level right now is 357.1 million barrels. That's about the same as it was on January 26th of 2024. Now, this drawdown is part of a global effort to offset the disruptions out of the Strait of Hormuz, and it's been announced by the International Energy Agency. Now, each member country releasing its part to offset that disruption. An energy department spokesperson tells Fox Business, now, unlike the previous administration, which drained the SPR and used the revenue to help fund their green news scam agenda. The Trump administration exchanged barrels for the lower cost barrels that will be delivered back to the SPR next year. That's Fox Business's Edward Lawrence reporting from the White House. With the 4th of July about a month away, some families may be wondering whether their annual fireworks tradition will cost more this year as prices rise on many everyday goods. Jacob Marietta, who is the operations manager at wholesale fireworks, says shoppers should not expect major price increases. Marietta said many fireworks prices are steady and in some cases actually lower compared with last year. In most cases, prices are flat or down. So we're one of the lucky ones. You know, prices are up at the pump and everywhere else, but we're staying very flat. Marietta said the market has been volatile in recent years, largely because of shifting tariffs on Chinese imports. He said those tariffs have since been rolled back, and retailers have been reimbursed helping stabilize prices.

U.S. Senator from Kansas, Dr. Roger Marshall, spoke about gender transition procedures on youngsters. That's why we introduced this bill to give them some type of civil recourse. So even one, two, five years after the procedure was done, they could go back and sue the doctor and the hospital where it was done as well. But this is child abuse. I think, you know, 100 years and now when they're writing the history of medicine, this will be the darkest chapter. They're going to look at this and say, what? What was that barbaric generation doing then? Senator Marshall appearing on Washington Watch with Tony Perkins. Most of the neon light towers at Central McLean and Meridian are back on at this time in red or blue. Many of the lights had gone dark, but in the last few weeks, the city began working on temporary repairs to the 32-foot towers in time for America's 250th celebration this summer. The towers have shined variations of three colors since 2001. The 14 towers were built as part of a beautification effort along the riverfront and museum district areas. The towers were built and designed by local artist Steve Marillo. The towers were constructed for about $363,000. A Senate Appropriations Subcommittee. Hearing testimony from the Homeland Security Secretary. as Democrats focused most of their questions on federal immigration. Connecticut Democratic Senator Chris Murphy said a Republican-appointed judge had accused ICE in Minnesota of ignoring orders and deadlines. He asked Homeland Security Secretary Markwayne Mullin to commit to following judge's orders. If we didn't think courts were politicized, then I would probably be able to answer that. But we see courts over and over again that use their bench for their political opinion. Murphy said it sounded like Mullen was saying they would. pick and choose which court rules to follow. Don't put words in my mouth. What you're saying that? What I'm saying is we'll enforce the law and we're never going to break the Constitution. Mullen said one of his biggest concerns was what multiple shutdowns had done to morale in the agency that they've lost 8% of the DHS workforce in recent months. Jessica Rosenthal, Fox News. It is 704. Coming up, we'll tell you about President Trump planning to attend a rescheduled White House Correspondents Association dinner and the 26 Stanley Cup final got underway last night. We'll let you know how the results ended up. It is Woodward and Witt 987 and 1330 KNSSS.

It is 708. President Trump plans to attend a rescheduled White House Correspondents Association dinner next month. In an email to the Correspondents Association members, WHCA President Ouija Zhang says the association will not allow an act of violence to have the last word.

This year's Stanley Cup final in hockey. Got underway last night. The Carolina Hurricanes hosted the Vegas Golden Knights. In game one of the Stanley Cup final Tuesday, Carolina got off to a hot start, scoring the first two goals of the game, including one that came just 25 seconds in. It was back and forth after that, as the game remained tied at four in the third period. But Vegas ultimately got their golden goal.

Then it's five for Vegas. The call on ABC, Tomas Hurdle with the go-ahead goal, his fourth goal of the playoffs, as Vegas wins it five to four to take the first game of the series. Vegas has now won seven playoff games in a row. Tony Genualdo, Fox News. It is 709 with Woodward-Witt on 987 and 1330 KNSS. Time for a traffic update with Ted Woodward. And we've got a little bit of a slow-moving traffic here on your Wednesday morning commute on the west side. A little slow on Meridian near I-235 on the southwest side of town. A bit of slow down there. But otherwise, things are going pretty well this morning on the traffic commute from 98-7 and 1330 KNSS in the Accident Recovery Team Traffic Center. I'm Ted Woodward. And now let's get an extended forecast from Storm Team 12 with Chief Meteorologist Ross Jansen. Good morning, Ross. Well, good morning to you, Ted and John. We have a pretty good looking day coming up today. It's going to be a little on the sticky side, no doubt about that. But, you know, we've been talking about chances for thunderstorms off and on this week. And we still are very much in that particular pattern over the next two days. So if you're trying to get the yard mode, I think mine's starting to get away from me a bit. We're looking at just a pop-up chance here and there. So there may be some opportunities today to tackle that sort of thing because any of the rain that we get will be kind of like yesterday, where we had just one little time. tiny shower pop up and then it faded away at sunset. So that's what's happening today. And then we'll have another chance coming up tomorrow afternoon into the early evening hours. But Thursday also doesn't look like we'll have very much rain around here. And as far as the temperatures are concerned, you know, it hasn't been overly hot this week. A little on the muggy side, though. It will be getting a tad warmer. And by the time we get to Friday afternoon, we could see the upper half of the 80s add in the humidity. And no doubt it will probably feel like. low 90s but 82 today 66 is going to be our low temperature tonight we're headed for 84 tomorrow and then 88 degrees coming up on friday and of course we'll be wrapping up river fest later on this week As far as the chances for storms go, Friday looks dry. Most of Saturday will be too, but then by Saturday night and into Sunday, we see a tropical system. This is a feature that's coming from the Pacific. It's going to cross Mexico and then go right up into Texas and Oklahoma. That's what's behind our chance for rain as we reach Saturday night and Sunday time frame. Too early to say exactly how much rain we might get, but there could be some pockets of heavier downpours, certainly with that tropical connection that we'll be looking. at later on in the weekend right now in which is out we've got a sunny start to the day it's 66 degrees that's your storm team 12 forecast i'm chief meteorologist ross jansen all right ross i saw some nines coming up later in the week did not like that need to need to you know talk to a shanky stop you know need to get the rain dance boots back out no no nines get me back to the sevens if you would please Yeah, I don't know what we can do about that. We'll certainly try. I mean, adding in the humidity, it's going to be kind of sticky, no doubt, about that. But it sure beats, you know, dealing with the ongoing drought, no doubt. I know. Woodward likes the nines, so I guess I'm just going to have to suck it up because he prefers the nines. I'll take nines over tens.

And I'm sure that the kids at the swimming pool do too. Yeah, we do know that. I guess I just got to, you know, resign myself to warmer temperatures. All right, my friend. We'll talk to you again tomorrow morning. Appreciate you joining us. It is 713. So, Ted, a village, you know, we've got, we just got our primary filing deadline. And we're ready to gearing up for an election, which, you know, should be kind of fun. And we've got, what, seven Republican Australia, nine, I get a 10 with the Democrats. You get 10 different people running for governor in Kansas. And I think that just as many running for a United States senator. So a village in New York's Long Island is facing an unusual mayoral election. Okay. So we've got 10 people running for Senate here. You've got 11 people running for governor. No candidates registered to run for office of mayor. in one city, one village in New York. It's ridiculous. I've never seen anything like this. Ask them to run for office. They don't want to do it. So they don't pay attention. When you don't pay attention, this is what happens. Get a lot of people writing in people who are not qualified. Some guy comes up there with 50 of his closest friends. He's your mayor. If 100 people get one right in each, it's a tie. So it's a strange situation. Yet literally, nobody filed. So. Remember the guy who ran for governor a few years ago with the boot on his head? We had a guy who filed a run for governor of Kansas with a boot on his head. Oh, well, that's safe from hail. Yes, and I guess he goes around the country doing this, which is why the legislature ended up having to change the law in Kansas so that you had to Vermin Supreme was the guy's name. And he goes around the country doing this. Well, maybe he should go and file for mayor. Now they're going to have to do a ride-in election because this is just a bizarre situation. So go figure. Nobody filed a run. So now this little village is going to have to do that. So go figure. Have you ever taken an Uber? Oh, sure. Yeah. So a lot of people take Uber and almost everyone has, you know, taken an Uber and occasionally you probably leave something in the Uber. Yeah, well, you always leave stuff. Oops. Yeah, you know, I forgot left behind. Left my pen or, you know, you left, sadly, I'm sure, you know, was left my purse or left my phone. So Uber has released its 10th annual Lost and Found Index documenting all the absurd stuff. that was left behind in ride shares last year. The most common things we forgot is usually, you know, phones, wallets, luggage, keys, headphones, you know, earbuds, that kind of stuff. The most unique list were real action items, basically, shared a list of 50 oddball things that were forgot in Uber's last year. Here are some of the highlights. And these are some really bizarre, like a...

A portable thermal printer. A bald cap. Forget that. Get this one. A dishwasher. A toboggan. Yes. A textured photo with a rhinestone picture of Jesus. Oh, well. Yes. Grass. Maybe some, not, not, you know, marijuana. Literally, maybe somebody just thought they wanted to touch some grass. Part of the law. I don't know. $200 worth of Tammu items. So maybe it was a, you know, moving van or something. A cape with a statue of liberty on it. Of course. A live fish. A brand new mini fridge. Oh. And the top five. A brand new mini fridge. An oxygen tank. A sack of marbles. 420 donuts. Man, I'm not leaving that behind. I'm not leaving that behind. No, I'd be, yeah. And then the number one item, the number one most unique item left in an Uber last year, an ankle monitor. Surely that was accidental. So there you go. Yeah, somebody, I'm sure that was purely by accident. Of course. That I left my ankle monitor in a. It just fell off. Yes. By the way, if you want to check out the list, you can, it's on available on Uber. Go to their website. There you go. Check out the list. So unique items. 717 with Woodward and Witt on 987 and 1330 KNSS. Time for sports with Ted Woodward. And sports is brought to you by SertaPro Painters.

Major League Baseball, the Cincinnati Reds at home taking on the Kansas City Royals last night. The Royals going for two in a row, and it looked like that was within reach. The Royals did have a lead going into the bottom of the ninth inning. You heard the game on 97-5 and 1240, KFA. Guy Benson rips it high in the air, down the right field line toward the corner. It's gone. And it's a tie game in Cincinnati.

Hinch hit game-tying solo home run for Will Guy Benson. The Reds have three hits tonight. They are all solo homers. And this game is tied at three. Yeah, so. And then, of course, the Reds scored in the bottom of the 10th inning and beat the Royals four to three. Royals have lost seven of their last eight. Casey at Cincinnati again tonight. So we'll see who wins that series. 5.30 p.m. coverage begins for the Royals and the Reds. That's over on 97-5 and 1240, KFH. Some other Major League Baseball action, the Philadelphia Phillies at home last night taking on the San Diego Padres. Starting at third base for the Phillies, former Wichita State shocker, Alec Bome, who had a big defensive play in the top of the eighth inning when he faked a throw to first base on a ground out, and then that confused the Padres runner and got tagged out in a rundown. And that would be a huge out late in the game that enabled the Phillies to beat the Padres three to two. Trickery there from Alec Bome. Hey, the Phillies have won five of their last seven. And a minor league update on a guy that we've been rooting for to make it to the big leagues hasn't happened yet. Former Shocker Luke Ritter had a great career with Wichita State. He was drafted in the seventh round by the New York Mets, but he topped out in AAA. And he finally ended his time with the Mets after last year. He's been in AAA with the Detroit Tigers this season, and he has been released. Ah, Luke Ritter. He has played 361 games in AAA. In the minors, he has piled up more than 500 hits, 98 career home runs, but he never got called up by the Mets, nor the Tigers. And now he's looking for work. Maybe he can catch on with some other organization and make it to the big leagues someday, but it hasn't happened yet. For Luke Ritter. Happy birthday today to a pretty good basketball player out of the state. Scott Hastings is 66 years old today.

Ukraine's a major Russian city hours before the start of Vladimir Putin's showpiece economic event has been struck by Russian attacks. This will be seen as an attempt to embarrass the Russian president and to show that his country's main cities are vulnerable to attack. Ukrainian drones targeted an oil export terminal and a military site in St. Petersburg, Vladimir Putin's hometown, this on the eve of the city's annual International Economic Forum. For the first time since 2022, a serving US official will attend the so-called Russian Davos.

One person was injured after a clubbing in East Wichita. Happened about 8.30 last evening near Harry and Webb, one victim hospitalized in critical condition. States just such as California and Iowa have begun their primaries, and some candidates are ready for the midterm elections. Republicans Spencer Pratt and progressive Nithya Raman are battling for second place. Bass is moving forward despite criticism regarding her handling of wildfires and homelessness. She's defending her record as Pratt warns Bass to be ready. The California gubernatorial race, meanwhile, remains too close to call. But Democrats, Xavier Becerra and Tom Steyer and Republican Steve Hilton appear to be leading the PAC. The top two vote getters will move on to the general election, regardless of party. In Iowa, Democrat Josh Turek and Republican Ashley Hinson will face each other in the race to replace retiring Senator Joni Ernst. Hinson was back by President Trump. That was Fox's Madeline Rivera from Washington.

Emails obtained through the Kansas Open Records Act requests are raising questions about transparency in El Dorado, as residents have concerns about possible data center development in Butler County. A packed crowd filled the El Dorado Performing Arts Center, as the El Dorado City Commission considered changes to zoning regulations related to data centers and other emerging technologies. Dozens of speakers expressed concerns about water use and environmental impacts. Records obtained through CORA requests show discussions about data center opportunities occurred months before the meeting. Businessman Philip Sarnake is among the Republican candidates for Kansas governors. He says he has what the state needs and the state needs helps. We're 42nd as a state in new business start. But it gets even worse. We are 48th in five-year new business survival rate. So we don't start enough new small businesses in Kansas. And the ones we do, we don't keep them because we are over-regulating, over-taxing, and over-spending the people of the state of Kansas to death. Sarnakey appeared here on KNSS yesterday morning with Woodward-N-Witt. Wesley Medical Center will be the first hospital in the region to offer a new way to treat liver cancer. It's called histotripsy. It's a non-invasive ultrasound-based treatment. It's designed to destroy liver tumors in a single outpatient procedure. Wesley is one of more than 100 hospitals in the U.S. offering this treatment, the closest to here is in Kansas City. Wesley will begin offering this histotripsy procedure this month. I'm impressed, by the way, on that pronunciation on histotripsy. Well done. It might be wrong, but there it is. I commend you for a for effort.

Gary Baumgarten, Fox News. Two foreign nationals who worked for the National Institutes of Health have been charged with smuggling monkey pox into the United States. Federal prosecutors say 53-year-old Vincent Munster of the Netherlands and 38-year-old Claude Quay of the African nation of Cameroon are charged with conspiracy to smuggle monkeypox into the U.S. and giving false statements to law enforcement. The two researchers with the National Institutes of Health at Montana's Rocky Mountain Laboratory are accused of smuggling at least 17 vials containing deactivated monkeypox virus from an outbreak in the Republic of Congo to Detroit in January.

Officials also alleged they falsely told CBP officers that the case they had contained diagnostics and testing equipment. Kristen, good one. Fox News. And there's been a call for a federal review of Rocky Mountain Laboratories after a monkey infected with a viral disease bit a worker. It is 735 with Woodward and Whit. Now let's get an updated forecast with meteorologist Jake Dunn. Good morning, Jake. Good morning. Expect a mostly cloudy Wednesday with a few showers in storms. South winds 5 to 15 and a high of 82. Can't rule out a storm tonight, mostly cloudy in 66. A little bit more in the way of sunshine on Thursday, but also a small chance of a storm. Breezy with a high of 84, becoming mostly sunny and hot Friday with the high in the upper 80s. That's your forecast from Storm Team 12. I'm meteorologist Jake Dunn. And right now in Wichita, it is mostly cloudy and 70 degrees at Wichita's severe weather station, 98, 7 and 1330 KNSS. It is 736. Primary voters headed to the polls yesterday in six states, and the results are already reshaping the political landscape heading into November. From a rare loss for a Trump-endorsed candidate in Iowa. to major Democrat battles between moderates and progressives to closely watch races in California and New Jersey. There were several storylines that could tell us a lot about where both parties are headed as the midterms approach. And with us now to kind of give us a recap is Tanya Powers from Fox News Radio. Good morning, Tanya. Good morning. So looking at the results from last night, what do you see as the biggest political storylines emerging from these primaries? Well, I mean, obviously the California stuff is getting a lot of attention. And to be clear, the AP has not called the second candidate in the mayor's race. Mayor Karen Bass, the incumbent is going to advance to the general, the runoff basically in November. The AP has not called a second candidate that will go up against her yet. Spencer Pratt was doing pretty well in the voting. But again, there's a lot of votes still to be counted. Same goes for California governor. The AP has not called that race either to see who's going to be the top two vote getters and move on to the November election there either. The other one that I'm really paying attention to today is the Iowa races. You've got the Iowa governor's race. Now, there are 36 gubernatorial contests, and a few of these are expected to be competitive. This is one of them. Zach Lahn. won the Republican nomination for governor in Iowa. That's notable because it is one of the few times that the Trump-backed candidate has lost in this primary season. Randy Feenstra was backed by President Trump, and Zach Lawn beat him in that primary for the Democratic primary in Iowa for the governor's race is Rob Sand. He ran unopposed. The other big one I think is, which is, you know, I expect to hear a lot more about this one in the coming weeks. race to succeed retiring GOP Senator Joni Ernst in Iowa. She is retiring, so that seat is up for grabs. The primary yesterday, you had Republican Representative Ashley Hinson, who won her party Senate nomination there, and then you had Democratic State Representative Josh Turek.

won his party's Senate nomination. Turek is, I think we're going to hear a lot more about both of these candidates, especially Turek. He flipped a state house district held by a Republican. Democrats are hoping that he can do that same thing for the Senate seats, of course. The, you know, midterms are largely seen as a, you know, are the Democrats going to be able to flip both houses? Are they going to be, you know, taking a majority in the House and the Senate, either one, both, none, whatever. Turek, he represents a district, like I said, he's a state lawmaker. He represents a district that Trump won. in the state house. He's a Democrat and he represents a district that Trump wants. So I think it's notable anytime you have a candidate that, you know, is, you know, kind of has either flipped a district or is, you know, doing well in a district that has generally voted red for other offices, I think that's kind of notable. In the L.A. mayor's race and the governor's race, those are bucking trends to have Republicans even with a fighting chance. I mean, now the question then becomes. Can they make it in the general election when you consider one of the factors is that there have been other Democrats that have taken away? I mean, do they have a chance when they get to the generals? It's a lot different when there are multiple Democrats as opposed to one-on-one, correct? Yeah, you're right. I mean, the, I'm trying to find my notes from yesterday because I had all of these listed. I think there were 14 people running in the L.A. mayor's race and something like... 60 something in the governor's race. It's one of the, remember, it's the jungle primary kind of thing. So where everybody is on the same ballot, you don't have a Republican ticket and a Democratic ticket and you vote by the ticket, you know, per party. Everybody, you know, basically votes for whoever, you know, I guess like it's kind of like range choice or whatever, but it's chaos. They vote every. That's what a lot of people have called it. Yes, you're correct. A lot of folks are not real fans of the way that they do it there, but nonetheless, this is how they do it. Everybody's on the same ballot, and then the top two vote getters will go on to the November elections.

Well, it'll be interesting to see. I mean, clearly, depending on who makes it, that's the other issue, is you could have two Democrats, as we're assuming that the two, that Republicans make it into the general, and so then it'll be interesting to watch. Both of these races are interesting. As we look ahead to November, which race coming out of today's primaries has the, or yesterday's primaries, has the potential to be the biggest surprise for... most consequential for control of Congress, do you think? Again, I'm going to point at that Iowa Senate race. If the Democrats can flip that seat, and I don't know, I haven't seen the polling, I have not closely studied this, but I'm looking at the background of Josh Turrick, the Democratic candidate in that Senate race. Like I said, he's already flipped a district that was red to blue. His personal story is also going to be getting a lot of attention. He's a two-time gold Paralympian. He uses a wheelchair. He is, and that's significant because when he was campaigning for this, the stories that are out there about him. basically dragging his wheelchair up people's steps to go up to the porch to knock on their door to talk to them. That kind of, you know, that kind of stuff resonates with a lot of people, especially voters. He apparently campaigned no matter if they were Democratic, Republican, Independent, whoever he knocked on doors for everybody. He was diagnosed with spina bifida due to his father's exposure to Agent Orange in Vietnam. Kind of as a result of that, he got... millions of dollars from vote vets. He's not a vet, but apparently, you know, the situation with his dad and everything, the vote vets is a democratic political operation that, you know, helps clung to candidates. He got a whole lot of money, especially late in the, in the stretch there right before the primary, um, that, you know, allowed them to, you know, blanket the social media and the people's mailboxes and the airways and everything else. Um, that, you know, he could see a lot more, you know, money come rolling in like that is why I'm bringing that up, because that may be a game changer fundraising-wise for him now that he is, you know, they've got a chance to potentially slip Joni Ernst's seat. I would expect, that's why I said I expect we will hear a lot more about that race in the coming months. That Iowa race may be one to watch. Tanya, thank you for joining us.

It's time for a local business update.

from the Wichita Business Journal. Ram Basnet has spent a decade in the restaurant industry, including five years as the owner of Street of India in Colorado. Expansion was on his mind. He was looking to try to open a second restaurant somewhere, and his research pointed him to Wichita, where a friend said there were no Nepali restaurants. Well, Basnet has spent six months exploring Wichita, and then he decided to open his second restaurant here. Himalayan Sherpa, Indian and Nepali cuisine. Himalayan Sherpa will specialize in Indian and Nepali cuisine. Restaurant expected to open next week, June 8th, at the former Sam's Southern Eatery, 2,700 North Amidon, near 25th in Amidon in northwest Wichita. That's the location of the former Italian restaurant, DeFazios, for nearly 40 years, until it closed five years ago. The restaurant will have seating for 150, serving authentic Nepali and Indian dishes, including Momo, Nepali dumplings, Chalman, Curries, Tanduri specialties, and biryani. The Wichita Public Schools will make another attempt in November to pass a bond issue aimed at rebuilding and preserving a few several school buildings. On Monday, the Wichita School Board approved the plan for a two-question bond issue, totaling a combined $650 million that will be put in front of voters within school district boundaries on the November 3rd ballot. Voters defeated a $450 million bond issue in February of last year. by 1.2 percentage points or a little more than 300 votes. Since then, an oversight group told district leaders they should rebuild trust with the community and clarify an intent before asking for another bond issue, and the district hosted a series of information sessions throughout the spring at sites throughout the city to gauge community feedback. That's our Wichita Business Journal update. From Wichita Business Journal editor Kirk Seminoff. We'll do another Wichita Business Journal update coming up here next hour. It is 753 with Woodward and Witt. So usually when we have these stories, Ted, about the stupid criminal stories. Yes. It's often from Florida. Yeah, it seems that way. Yes.

When the cop showed up, he was in the equipment room where he had instructed the girl to hold the flashlight for him while he cut some copper wiring. He was stealing to resell it later. He was charged with... burglary and corrupting of the corruption of minors among with other things meanwhile this little girl the whole time is like really mom you can't do better than this guy yes thank you the girl by the way wasn't charged although they're probably working with her family to find an appropriate guardian to be with so there you go i you know i guess the family that steals together stays together i don't know or in this case maybe shouldn't stay together so i think a guy looks like a real winner by i'm sure he does i'm looking at his mugshot here and i'm just thinking to myself yeah there's not a candidate for father of the year so yeah i've heard of all kinds of you know daddy daughter experiences and that would not be on the on the top of my list so It is 755.

Ted Woodward and John Whitmire. This is Woodward and Witt on 987 and 1330 KNS, Wichita's number one talk. Good morning. It is 8 o'clock. Wednesday, hump day, June 3rd. Ted Woodward and John Whitmire with you. It's Ted to Chad Chambers, rather, has the morning off. I'm Rodney Price. The Wichita City Council repealed a nearly 20-year-old parking ordinance Tuesday evening. We'll tell you what happened just ahead. Today is day six of the annual Riverfest in downtown Wichita. We'll tell you a little bit more about that coming up in just a minute. The Wichita City Council is unanimously voted to repeal a 2008 ordinance that would have banned drivers from backing their vehicles into city-owned parking stalls. Staff recommended keeping the ordinance in place for a number of reasons, citing the thousands of dollars of property damage inflicted by drivers who backed up too far into stalls. They also cited the difficulty for parking enforcement to read the license tag of a backed-up vehicle. Between October 2025 and April 26, 340 citations had been issued to drivers for the offense. In late April, though, the city started issuing warnings instead. Despite the repeal, it is still illegal to back into on-street parking stalls. Rodney Price, KNSSS News. Federal officials are warning of a flesh-eating parasite near the United States-Mexico border. U.S. Agriculture Secretary Brooke Rollins revealing New World Screwworm was found in a goat in Mexico, roughly 31 miles south of Texas. The case marks the closest detection to the U.S. during the latest outbreak. Experts are worried the parasite could cause billions of dollars in damage to the Texas and U.S. economy, raising beef prices by shrinking the cattle supply. Rollins telling reporters there's no... doubt that this is a very, very serious threat to our livestock. The fly feeds off the flesh of living animals, eventually killing its hosts, if not treated. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, it's typically found in South America, but over the last several years, it's been detected farther north in Central America and Mexico. Kristen Goodwin, Fox News. Central County Commission Chair Jeff Blubaw says commissioners are looking this week at homeless issues. No doubt housing has went up and it's outside of affordability. But is that really the root cause of all this homelessness or is an addiction? So I've asked the sheriff from the DA for some additional information and Mayor Wu and I are working together on this because to me it seems like addiction, criminal activity. A lot of that is the... The root cause of homelessness. Blue Ball appeared yesterday on Tuesdays with the chair on KNSS with Woodward and Witt. Today is day six of the annual River Fest in downtown Wichita.

Iran fires on its neighbors, damaging an international airport while the United States strikes back. Kuwait's Defence Ministry says several drones targeted its airport's passenger building, causing damage and injuries. Commercial flights were suspended. Meanwhile, Bahrain intercepted incoming Iranian missiles. Iran's Revolutionary Guards says they were aimed at the headquarters of the United States Navy's 5th Fleet. This purportedly a response to the US firing a missile into the engine room of an oil tanker that was trying to reach Iran despite the American blockade. news agencies report mediated peace negotiations have been paused claims described by President Trump as false and erroneous. Jonathan Savage, Fox News. It is 804. Coming up, we will talk with Jonathan Savage about the, are the president and Iranian Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on the same page. Woodward Witt on 987 and 1330, KNSSS. It is 808 with Woodward-Muitt on 98-7 and 1330 KNSSS. As the conflict with Iran continues to dominate international headlines, a key question remains. Our President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu pursuing the same strategy. With us now to bring us some insights is Jonathan Savage from Fox News Radio, live from London. Good morning, Jonathan. Thank you for joining us. Hello, good morning. So President Trump continues to say negotiations with Iran are moving forward while Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has expressed deep skepticism about any deal. Are the two leaders still aligned on the ultimate objective, Jonathan? I think on the ultimate objective they are aligned. They want to weaken Iran. They want to stop around for getting a nuclear weapon. They want to make sure Iran doesn't come out of this conflict with an advantage. But there is a major divide which is having an impact on how this is going to come to an end. According to Axios, that disagreement became serious enough to trigger one of the roughest exchanges between the two leaders. since President Trump returned to office. And in fact, President Trump confirmed this phone call did indeed happen, where he called Benjamin Netanyahu crazy and accused him of jeopardizing negotiations with Iran. Separate sources said that President swore at the Israeli Prime Minister, a couple of times at least in this call. President Trump doesn't dispute the reporting, but when asked if he was angry, he said he prefers the word perturbed.

And the main issue here is that Israel continues to attack Hezbollah in Lebanon and Iran, says that that that is jeopardizing negotiation. Well, how significant then are those disagreements? Do they represent a real policy divide? Or is it just, you know, Trump wanting to go one way and Benjamin Netanyahu another? I think that it's significant enough in this kind of disagreement could have an impact on the way things play out. I mean, for Benjamin Netanyahu, inside Israel, there's a real consensus that Hezbollah is a major threat, and this is a real opportunity to aggressively confront the Iran-back militant group. However, a lot of what Israel does... diplomatically in the military, they do so with cover from the United States, providing them with support politically and terms of military support as well. So if President Trump isn't supporting Benjamin Netanyahu on this, then it puts him in a very difficult spot. So looking ahead, what does a successful outcome look like for both of them, or does one of them have to lose for the other one to win? Yeah, well, I think that one thing we can note today is that despite President Trump's anger, Israel is continuing to strike Hezbollah near Beirut, targeting a car, we understand just south of Beirut, and intercepting a hostile aircraft, likely a drone fired by Hezbollah. Israel will continue to say that it works in self-defense here, of course, and the U.S. has no doubt that it stands behind Israel's right to self-defense. But eventually, either Iran will have to go to the negotiating table despite what Israel is doing, or President Trump will have to convince Benjamin Netanyahu to scale back as a census. Jonathan, it's been a little over a week, I think, since we've had you on last. And the last time we talked, I think I was fairly certain you were going to be without a prime minister or have a change. Keir Starmer is still, you know, holding on. Has he weathered the storm? for now, he has for now, partly because some people within his government pulled back from the edge in terms of trying to build a genuine leadership challenge. But everyone's waiting for something. They're waiting for a special election that's going to happen very soon. And the Labour Party, the governing party candidate in that special election, is a man who wants to be Prime Minister. If he wins that and he returns to Parliament as an MP, he may well then have the support to officially challenge Kierst Armour. Kierst Armour is the great survivor this year of British politics, but for how long can that go on? Interesting. Well, we may have you on soon to walk us through that whole process. As always, we appreciate you joining us. Jonathan Savage, live from London. It's always a pleasure to have you on this show.

It is 812. Game 1 of the 2026 NBA Finals gets underway later tonight. 27 years since the Spurs beat the Knicks and the NBA Championship, the teams renew their relationship later tonight, game one of the NBA Finals in San Antonio, where it costs over 37% less to live than in Manhattan, New York City, the home of the Knicks. Yet the cost for the cheapest ticket for game one of the NBA finals, one day ahead of tip-off, was 82% cheaper in San Antonio than for game three in New York, $786 versus $4,4,428 at Secondary Ticket Reseller Seatkeek. The Knicks and Spurs played three times this past season, including the final of the NBA Cup, the in-season tournament, won by New York. The Spurs won the other meetings, and are the clear betting favorite to win the NBA title, which would be their sixth. The Knicks haven't won since 1973. Jared Max Fox News. By the way, former Wichita State star Landry Shamet plays for the Knicks. There is a chance that hunting and fishing could soon be banned in the state of Oregon. A petition to ban hunting, fishing, and trapping in Oregon. Currently has 125,000 signatures, exceeding the amount needed to, if verified by the state, potentially go to voters this fall. If passed, the law would criminalize injury or killing animals, including killing for food. The group People for the ethical treatment of animals pushed the so-called Peace Act petition. Opponents say hunting, fishing, and trapping are not only a way of life, but a crucial part of Oregon's economy. That accounts for $1.2 billion in spending every year and supporting thousands of jobs. Jeff Monasso, Fox News. It is 814. Let's get a local traffic update with Ted Woodward. And we do have some police activity in downtown Wichita. There's some trouble at Second and Topeka at Open Door there. There was a man dragging another man along the sidewalk. And possibly this does involve a 50-year-old man and a drug overdose. I'm trying to give him Narcan. So there's... There's all sorts of stuff going on there. It's Second and Topeka, and police are on the scene there in downtown Wichita. That is a traffic update from 987 and 1330 KNSS in the Accident Recovery Team Traffic Center. I'm Ted Woodward. And let's get a weather update with meteorologist. Jake Dunn, good morning, Jake. Good morning. Expect a mostly cloudy Wednesday with a few showers in storms. South winds 5 to 15 and a high of 82.

You haven't had your, you know, your morning Joe, your cup of Prairie Fire, your cup of Joe, and you're trying to get some sleep and you heard something loud and you glanced out, would you think it was a crazed man with a bazooka or a guy with a leaf blower? Oh, well. In my neighborhood, I know which one it would be. Well, according to Bridgewater Police, one lady didn't know. Oh, no. Last month, someone called the police in Massachusetts to report a man in camouflaged clothing carrying a bazooka. Oh, no. Called the cops. Cops responded, tracked a guy down. It wasn't a one-man mafia wanting to blow stuff up. It was a one-man landscaping service wanting to blow stuff. Around. Yeah, the bazooka was a leaf blower. She called it a weapon of mess destruction. Apparently, the lady literally hadn't had her coffee yet. And the cops actually didn't mind. They said, well, you never know. Everyone's perception can be different. Better off calling and reporting something than ignoring it. But, yeah, it turns out the guy was just a man with a leaf blower. Not a man with a bazooka. So there you go. The lesson to be learned here, the moral of the story is have your Prairie Fire Coffee. Exactly. Have your coffee and wake up. before you dial 911. So there you go.

So get in line for that tonight at Equity Bank Park. Let's go to Major League Baseball, the Kansas City Royals in Cincinnati, taking on the Reds in Interleague play. Royals going for two in a row. Would they be able to make that happen in the win column? Of course, you heard the game on 97-5 and 1240. KFH. After taking a 3-0 lead in the 4th, the Royals were unable to tack on any more runs, and ultimately they were unable to hold on to the lead. The Reds tied it in the bottom of the 9th inning 3-3. Then they won it in the 10th when Blake Duns singled home the game winner as the Reds were 4-3 victors. KC starter Noah Cameron pitched seven scoreless innings. He equaled a career high with eight strikeouts. He was brilliant. Game three of this series comes your way tonight. 610 first pitch will be on at 530 with a pregame show on the Royals Baseball Network. Yeah, and that'll be over on 975 and 1240 KFH for the Royals and the Reds. Yeah, great starting pitching, and then the bullpen gives up runs in the eighth inning, the ninth inning, the ninth inning, and the 10th inning. Royals have dropped seven of their last eight. Some other major league action, the Miami Marlins win on the road in the nation's capital, beat the Washington Nationals 7 to 3 coming out of the bullpen for the Marlins. Former Wichita Winders pitcher, Calvin Foucher, throwing a scoreless ninth inning. He's got a 4.3 earned run average for the Marlins out of the bullpen. The Marlins back-to-back wins for Miami. Let's take a look at minor league baseball and get an update on former Wichita State pitcher Robert Kranz. He is in AA with the Washington Nationals. And Robert, throwing a scoreless ninth inning last night. A couple of strikeouts. He's got a 3.86 earned run average this season. Former Shocker pitcher Robert Kranz in AA with the Washington Nationals. Well, speaking of Shocker Baseball, this will sober you up a little bit. Let's go back 30 years ago on this day. College World Series. The Shockers in Florida State. And Florida State, the Seminoles won that game 8 to 4. And that eliminated the Shockers from the College World Series. The Shockers came back from Omaha. They haven't been back since. That's right. Wichita State's last game at the College World Series was 30 years ago on this day.

And we do have a birthday today for one of the all-time greats from the Kansas City Chiefs, the great corner defensive back. Emmett Thomas is 83 years old today. He played right corner for the Chiefs on defense for 13 years. He is the Chiefs all-time interceptions leader with 58 picks. That still puts him in the top 10 all-time in NFL history. Wow. After his playing days, he was a longtime assistant coach, including Chief's defensive backs coach for most of the 2010s. His number 18 is retired by the Chiefs. He lives in Kansas City. Of course, he is in the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He's also in the Kansas City Chiefs Hall of Fame. He did win a Super Bowl ring as a player in Super Bowl 4 with the Chiefs. And he got two more rings as an assistant coach with the Washington Redskins. The great Emmett Thomas. One of the all-timers, it's his birthday. He is 83 today. That is Sports with Woodward and Witt.

Wichita's number one talk. This is Woodward and Witt on 987 and 1330 KNSS. Good morning. It's 831 on 987 and 1330 KNSS with Ted Woodward and John Whitmire. Chad Chambers has the morning off. Here's a look at the news. The Wichita Police Department has reported that 750 car theft so far in 2026, while this figure is down from this time last year by about 8%, about half the auto thefts in Wichita so far this year. have happened in the last 90 days. Even when stolen vehicles are recovered, the crimes often leave people with damaged property, costing hundreds or even thousands of dollars to repair or replace. To keep property safe, police remind residents to never store valuables like money, guns, tools, or jewelry in cars. In the state of Kansas, theft of property of at least $1,000 can lead to felony charges, a fine, and jail time. Drivers are advised to always keep their vehicles locked when parked and to make sure that anything valuable isn't in a position to be easily spotted by anyone outside of the vehicle. Drivers are also encouraged to park their cars in a garage or area that's well lit. Phil Hildebrand, KNSSS News. The Wichita State University Barton School of Business hosted Charles Koch and his son Chase Coke yesterday. The two were there for a leadership breakfast. During the breakfast, a conversation was hosted. to talk about their new book, becoming a principal-driven leader. Charles Koch was asked what he wants to be the biggest takeaway from the book. We're in a time of turmoil, hatred, tribalism, and it's very scary. And I think the only way out is to focus on working for a society of equal rights and mutual benefit. The father-son duo said they hope the book will transform people's lives. Businessman, Philip Sarnakey, is among the Republican candidates for Kansas governor, and he says the annual Kansas budget is $28 billion. Ten and a half billion of that has been added in the last seven years. Now, the Republicans could blame all of that on Laura Kelly, and certainly she's to blame for a big part of it. But quite frankly, a lot of these Republican leaders, I think, like spending the taxpayers' dollars. as much as Laura Kelly does. And Sarniki appearing with Woodward and Witt here on KNSS. Acting U.S. Attorney General Todd Blanche said during a House hearing Tuesday, a controversial compensation fund will end.
