Happy Earth Day

Woodward and John Whitmire. This is Woodward and Witt on 987 and 1330 KNSS, Wichita's number one talk. Good morning. It is 6 o'clock here on this Wednesday, April 22nd on KNSS. Currently in Wichita, we do have mist in the area. It is 59 degrees here on this Wednesday morning. The Wichita Police Department confirming that a woman who was shot during a domestic violence-related incident at a Wichita apartment complex on the northeast side of town has died. That shooting happened on Friday morning. Yesterday, police identified the victim as 25-year-old Kay Ivey Unruh, a military veteran who worked as an engineer for PBS, Kansas. In connection with her death, Central County Jail Records confirming the arrest of 29-year-old Joshua Orlando, he was initially booked on an active charge of aggravated battery and held on a $300,000 bond. Now there's an additional charge of first-degree murder added yesterday. Orlando remains in jail. He's awaiting his first court appearance. Iran fires on two ships in the Strait of Hormuz with Ptox, peace talks rather shelved, and the ceasefire extended. Iran's Revolutionary Guard says the first target, a Liberian-flagued container ship, failed to respond to warnings. An Iranian news agency said their country was lawfully enforcing control over the Strait of Hormuz. Later, a cargo ship reported being fired upon and stopped in the water. These incidents follow President Trump, saying the United States would indefinitely extend the ceasefire that was due to end later today at Pakistan's request. Tehran has been given time to come up with a... It means planned peace talks are on hold. The U.S. blockade of Iranian ports is to continue. Jonathan Savage, Fox News. At today's Sedgway County Commission meeting, the board is going to recognize young adults with disabilities who have interned with the county to gain real-world job skills. The commission is also going to talk about a $70 million project to build workforce housing in Park City. The county also plans to apply for a federal grant from the Department of Justice. A commission meeting weekly starts at 9 o'clock this morning, the first floor of the downtown Ruffin building. Improvements are planned for Wichita's Nomar District in North Wichita. The Wichita City Council approved $250,000 in improvements to the area at 21st Street, North, and Broadway. $200,000 will erect a permanent stage at the east end of the plaza with $50,000 for public art, including shade. Mayor Lily Wu called the project an international...

rather an intentional investment into the cultural assets the city maintains. And this type of investment is necessary to not only keep the residents we have in Wichita, but attract visitors to come to our community. After public engagement and design work is complete, the city will begin construction in about a year. Health leaders in Kansas are warning that ticks are out in big numbers this spring. While some people in Kansas have reported a seemingly higher number of ticks than usual, Cassandra Olds at Kansas State University said it's not necessarily a higher number, but rather that tick season starts earlier every year. In the past couple of years, we've really had this trend of spring coming early, and so we've had ticks come out earlier. Not only can ticks carry Lyme disease, ticks can cause a serious, potentially life-threatening allergy. A bite from a lone star tick, one of four tick species commonly found in Kansas, can cause alpha-gal syndrome, which essentially gives you an allergy to red meat. Experts say ticks are most commonly found in grassy wooded areas. The best way to protect yourself is by taking precautions before you go out into those areas. That means wearing long sleeves, long pants, and even tucking your pants into your socks, you can also use insect repellent. Phil Hildebrand, KNSSS News. New research indicates daily caffeine consumption could lead to lower risk of developing dementia, which hopefully that'll help me because... Lord knows, I need my prairie fire coffee. A cup of Joe may benefit brain health. A study involving more than 130,000 people found that those who drank two to three cups of caffeinated coffee every day had an 18% lower risk of developing dementia. Similar results were found for people who drank one to two cups of caffeinated tea. Experts explain caffeine may reduce the accumulation of amyloid beta. It's a toxic protein associated with Alzheimer's that's found in plaques. Health officials say the chemical effect of caffeine may also be neuroprotective, but if you're thinking this means it's time to drink even more coffee, think again. Experts say more research is still needed. For now, stick to just a few cups. What was I talking about, Ted? Oh, that's right. Yeah, you got it. That was Fox's CB Cotton with that story. We'll be taking a look at a worldwide observance that takes place today in case you didn't know. And as we've mentioned yesterday, Queen Elizabeth. celebrating the centennial of her birth. So we'll see what the Brits did for that yesterday. And we already have some weather going on. It's misting here in the area. So we'll get the full weather forecast from Storm Team 12 coming up in just a few minutes. Hey, we're glad you're with us on this Wednesday morning. We are off and running. It is 606 with Woodward and Witt here on KNS. 6.09 here with Woodward and Witt on this Wednesday morning.

Millions of people around the world marking today, Earth Day. It started over five decades ago to raise awareness over growing concerns of pollution in our food, waters, and air, with the overwhelming public response that added pressure on Congress to do more to address pollution. Passing landmark legislation, including the Clean Air Act of 1970 and the Clean Water Act of 1972, giving birth to the modern environmental movement in which Earth Day has expanded to become an annual... global event, motivating action in more than 192 countries, and inspiring people worldwide to clean up and preserve a planet. That's now home to 8 billion humans. Jeff Monoso, Fox News. The British royal family is paying tribute today to Queen Elizabeth II on what would have been her 100th birthday. Charles III in a video message reflected on the decades-long reign of his dearest mama. She remained constant, steadfast. and wholly devoted to the people she served. The king, though, believes the current state of the world would have troubled her deeply. I take heart from her belief that goodness will always prevail. The 100th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's birth is being marked by revealing the final design of her official memorial statue. It will be placed in London's St. James's Park, a stone's throw from Buckingham Palace. In London, Jonathan Savage, Fox News. 6'10, here with Woodward and Witt. And as we get your Wednesday morning traffic commute underway in the mist, Jad Chambers will help you out with traffic conditions all morning long, Jad. Well, we can start with that mist, actually. Is it affecting visibility? A little bit. Visibility at Eisenhower National Airport due to fog and mist. About five miles, so not too bad. If you're out there driving, but of course, like we found out that last time, there are areas where that's going to be thinner, and areas where that mist is going to be a little bit thicker. So just be aware of that. Be aware of the roadsway may be a little wet and slippery this morning. That appears to be the big traffic mentions this morning. Traffic Update, 987 and 1330KNS, the Accident Recovery Team Traffic Center. I'm Jed Chambers. And let's take a look at our weather forecast here from... Storm Team 12, meteorologist Jake Dunn. Good morning. Cloudy skies will eventually clear out this afternoon. Strong south winds 15 to 25 and gusty and a high of 73. Clouds come right back in tonight, breezy and mild overnight low 62. Clearing skies windy and warm on Thursday with a high of 83, but thunderstorms are likely during the evening. Those could be strong if not severe, mostly sunny and really nice on Friday, high 77. That's your forecast.

From Storm Team 12, I'm meteorologist Jake Dunn. Currently in Wichita, we do have mist in the area. A breeze out of the south. It is 59 degrees here on this Wednesday morning, Wichita's severe weather station, 987 and 1330, KNSS here on Wednesday, April 22nd. Do you know what today is? No, why don't you tell me? You don't know? Today is Earth Day. Earth Day and Earth Day Heights. Much better than Earth Day. Earth Day? Happy Earth Day, everyone. I'm Recyclops. Start a recycling program for Earth Day. You recycle? We recycle everything. Best Earth Day ever. Hala. Happy Earth Day. How about some Earth Day entertainment? All right, is everybody excited? It's Earth Day. No, okay. I guess we don't have any excitement going on from anyone. It's one of my top ten planets. That's true. I'll give you that. Definitely in my top ten. You know, you know. You know me, I try to live every day like it's Earth Day. Well, there you go. Maybe that's a good way to get things through the day. Yeah, did you have a... Oh, yeah. I got one for you. So, you know... No, we don't. Okay. Not yet. No, it's, you know, I like to think of Earth Day as, you know, yeah, it's good. It's fine. I mean, I like my planet, like every other planet. I just don't give it a whole lot of... credence. I think too many people... You don't give Earth credence? No, Earth Day. Oh, Earth Day. Too many people try to make it into a religion, you know. So I'm grateful and try and be... I think we need to be good stewards. Of course. And I think that's the way I look at it. Be a good steward of your planet. There you go. Well, we all agree on that. Hey, there's a substitute teacher. Yes, it's happened at a high school in Florida. And the substitute has been arrested. She was caught acting erratically and twerking in the classroom. Yeah, I don't know about you, but when I was a kid and we had a substitute teacher, things usually were pretty quiet. Not a lot going on. Well, Angela Faith Jim Jordan went into an unhinged yelling during class, and you heard that right there. She referred to herself as a million-dollar prostitute. Really? Yeah. In the classroom. In the classroom. The kids are getting a great education there. I was going to say that's appropriate. The substitute teacher comes in and things go nuts. You know, okay.

I don't know if that's quite necessarily. Do we know, I was going to say, do you know what grade it is? But I don't know if that's appropriate for even, even, I was going to say, certainly not elementary, but even high school, I don't know if that's appropriate. Yeah, I'm not sure what was going on there. You know, okay. I think you better find a better substitute. I don't know if that's appropriate for any level, let alone. High school, but okay. Very odd. Yeah, I can't, you know. But it's Florida. Yeah, I, you know, go back to my high school days. I still don't know if that was appropriate, even in my high school days. But, hey, you know, to each his own, right? Exactly. You know. No, not exactly. Your substitute teacher should not be twerking in the classroom. And call in yelling during class. It's not appropriate at all. Smoking in the boys' room and twerking in the classroom, I guess. A few students from a high school in Kansas rode to prom in style. They were able to enlist the services of the Oscar Meyer Wiener Mobile. For prom. How about that? Hey. Here's a... I've heard it going in a limo. I've never heard it going in the WeinerMobile. Brecken Andrews and driver Maggie Dawson talking about getting the Weiner Mobile to prom. This was at Topeka Seaman High School. One of my buddies was like, can we rent this thing? And I was like... Bro, what if we just ask about prom? What if they take us? It's tomorrow. Like, that'd be insane. It was a little light bulb. And we were like, well, what time is prom? And from there, we checked our schedule, and we were able to make it happen. Hearing about prom, I mean, I have such special memories, like, with my high school experience, with my prom. And knowing that we could add the weenie magic of the big dog to it, we figured it had to be done. Hey, I mean, you know, you're always looking for new ideas and how to beat the other person. Yeah. Taking the wiener will be able to prom. Nobody's going to beat that. No, that's not even close. Wow. That's huge. That's a heck of a hookup there. I love that. All right. It is 616 coming up here with Woodward and Witt. Oh, you know. The war overseas, gasoline prices are way up, oil prices are up. But, of course, there's all the things that we don't think about that petroleum is used for. So the price of all that stuff is going up. Right. And it's stuff we use every day. It's computer keyboards, lipstick, tennis rackets, chewing gum, aspirin, umbrellas, guitar strings. Even the plastic bottles you drink your water out of. Exactly. Little things like that. And then you got the packaging and stuff, the packaging for, like, stuffed animals, medical supplies. All that stuff, the price is going to go up. Yep, yep. It's all petroleum-based. So it's stuff we don't think about. And why does this cost more? Well, because it's petroleum-based. Exactly. We seem we can't get away from it. We just keep putting it in more and more stuff. Yeah, well, and that's what people don't realize when they...

So many people don't realize it's all, and they talk about all we have to get away from fossil fuels and carbon, well, carbon-based products. Folks, it's in everything. It's in, even the little things like the little nubs on the end of your shoelaces, that's all petroleum base. The buttons on your shirt. Yep. Folks, that's all petroleum-based products. This is not a product that we're just going to overnight get rid of. It's everything we use every day. Right. It is 618 here with Woodward and Witt, and now let's see what's going on in sports. Sports is brought to you by SertaPro painters. Schedule your free estimate online at surtapro.com. We did have Shocker baseball last night, Wichita State on the road at Oklahoma State down in Stillwater, and the shocks had another tough go of it in a midweek game against a power conference opponent. Of course, Mike Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Denning Garrig had the call of the game on 97-5 and 1240, KFH. There were 4,300 fans at the game in Stillwater last night, and they saw a shortened game than perhaps they thought it might be. The bottom of the third was just a nightmare as... Oklahoma State got a lead-off Homer from Brock Thompson. And then of the next eight hitters, seven reached on some kind of free pass. Hit by pitch or a walk. There were four straight bases loaded walks. And then the ninth straight man to reach on an RBI single. As Oklahoma State scored eight in the inning, took a nine-to-one lead. Oh, man. All right. The Oklahoma State wins at 14 to 4 as Oklahoma State, number two in the nation in home runs, hit three of them in seven innings, including the game winner to end it. The shockers have lost 17 of their last 20 against the Cowboys, including a 10-run loss last night. I bet her news from the Kansas City Royals, who finally got back in the win column snapping an eight-game losing streak. It all came down to the bottom of the ninth inning in a game that's tied five to five. How do you think the leading runner got on base? A walk. A walk. Yep. So here's how the bottom of nine play. Yep. Walk. Walk. Wild pitch. And now you got Mikel Garcia on third base. in this tie game. There comes Garcia. Nobody's covering home. The Royals win. Wow. On a wild pitch, the Royals flush their frustration. And finally, finally, it's a one-run win. And it's a one-game winning streak, Jake. After seeing all the bounces and all the breaks and all the moments go in the other direction for the last eight games, the Royals get a bounce their way.

All right, back in the win column, beating the Orioles 6 to 5. Thank you for the lead-off walk in the bottom of the ninth inning. That sure helps. All right, they'll finish up this three-game series. Quick turnaround for a day game today up in Topman Stadium, the Royals and the Orioles. Live coverage at 1230 this afternoon. That's over on 97.5 and 1240 AFH. That is Sports with Woodward and Witt.

WBC Light, that's Light Beer, Craft Character. 622 here with Woodward and Witt. We have a traffic and weather update coming up and the links between depression and dementia. Talk about that. It's some pretty interesting stuff. That's coming up on a better life. Just a few minutes here with Dr. Sanjay Gupta. Next on KNSSS. Wichita's number one talk. This is Woodward and Witt on 987 and 1330 KNSS. Good morning. It is 6.30 here on this Wednesday, April 22nd. Ted Woodward and John Whitmire with you. Currently in Wichita, we do have scattered mist in the area. It is 58 degrees here on this Wednesday morning. A man convicted in the death last May of his pregnant girlfriend has been sentenced in Sedgwick County District Court to 74 years in prison. 20-year-old Matthew Cresenzo pleaded guilty to charges including premeditated first-degree murder. The sentencing approaches a year since the death of 20-year-old Naomi Oglesby. It was in late May last year. Officers responded to the report of a shooting in the 700 block of South Laura, not far from Kellogg and Washington. Police officers found Oglesby, who was nine months pregnant at the time, suffering from a fatal gunshot wound. Medical personnel were able to deliver her baby successfully. Virginia voters approved a redistricting plan that could give Democrats a big advantage in the upcoming midterm elections. Democrats are currently in control of the General Assembly, and so broadly speaking, they voted yes. They say this is in response to other states doing the same thing, whereas Republicans who call this an unfair power grab are voting no. Now I want you to hear from some voters who explain their positions to us. I'm definitely here to make sure that Virginia has the best chance it can to stop what's happening on Pennsylvania Avenue. I think that...

Caremandering is never a good thing. I think everybody just because other states, you know, they did that. I don't think we should be doing that. This may not all be a done deal just yet. The state Supreme Court is deciding whether this all is illegal, in which case it would make this election essentially meaningless. That was Fox 5 DC's Josh Rosenthal. The city of which it's often going to make changes to its transit network. The city's new multimodal center, the hub. is going to centralize transfers just to the west of the baseball stadium when it opens on May 23rd. The city will introduce a new route, the Pawnee Connector. It's a pilot crosstown route aimed at improving east-west connectivity in the southern part of town. The frequency of three other routes will increase to 30 minutes. The plan is to better align routes with major destinations, such as employment centers, health care facilities, and major grocery stores. The queue line will be transitioning to another route and be subject to service hours, including hourly frequencies, but no extended hours. It'll be all free provided from May 23rd through June 6th. That's to help out in the implementation of the redesigned network and the Q-line Route 24 will stay free as well until further notice. Sedgwick County Commission Chairman Jeff Bluebaugh talked yesterday about the county's stance as a taxing entity. Last year, we went up $622 million budget, and we reduced the mills from 28.7 to 27.5. And we have already made the commitment this year that we're going to cap our valuation at 4% for the valuation capture, meaning we're not going to go after the full amount. Chairman Blubaw made his weekly appearance on Tuesdays with the chair with Woodward and Witt here on KNSS. Two Americans killed in a car crash in Mexico were reportedly... CIA anti-narcotics agents. The incident happened over the weekend. Mexican authorities say the Americans were part of a convoy returning from an operation to destroy a clandestine drug lab. The AP has been told by three people with knowledge of the crash, including a U.S. official, that they were working for the CIA. Two Mexican investigators were also killed. Mexico's president, Claudia Sheinbaum, has ordered an investigation into the Americans' role. The president... of U.S. intelligence officials in Mexican territory has been the subject of ongoing debate. Jonathan Savage, Fox News. On Tuesday, U.S. Senator from Kansas, Dr. Roger Marshall introduced the Health Savings Account Expansion Act. That legislation would expand access to HSAs. Senator Marshall said it would give Americans more freedom and flexibility in how they pay for health care.

He said the act would dismantle restrictions preventing millions of Americans for accessing management of health care accounts. He says the bill expands HSA eligibility to people on Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP. He said it also expands HSA eligibility to all plans that have a deductible above a certain amount regardless of other factors. Officials in Florida approving the use of an alternative type of gasoline, an effort to drive down the high cost of the pump. But the fuel does pose some air quality risks and concerns for drivers with some older cars. E15, also known as the winter blend, has been given the green light right here in Florida in order to drive down gas prices. And while it offers cheaper fuel, it also comes with a cost to your car and potentially the overall air quality. This move comes as gas prices average around $4.4 a gallon nationwide. The winter blend contains 15% ethanol and isn't typically sold during the summer months. E15 gas is often cheaper by $5. 10 cents per gallon as it's less expensive to produce than petroleum-based gas, although AAA warrants this winter blend is an ideal for all cars, especially older models. That's Fox 13 Tampa Bay's Blake Devine with that report. A woman sues a trader Joe's grocery store in Portland, Oregon, claiming her juice contained a piece of a glove that may have had a human fingertip inside it. The lawsuit filed in Malnoma County Court on Tuesday. Julie O'Neill was doubting a bottle of orange juice with what she reportedly thought was a large piece of pulp in her mouth. Turns out when she pulled the material out, she found out it was a fingertip end of a rubber glove and thought it may have contained the end of a finger that she inadvertently swallowed. The lawsuit says she had a burning as well as gagging and nausea sensation and went to urgent care. O'Neill is seeking $10,000 in damages. Chris DeMayo, Fox News. I'd be seeking more than 10,000. That's why you'd go pulp free. Then it's just blended in with it, and you can't even tell you're eating a finger. Pulp free. It is 637 here with Woodward and Witt. Let's take a look at our weather forecast. Storm Team 12 meteorologist, Jake Dunn. Good morning. Cloudy skies will eventually clear out this afternoon.

It is 58 degrees here on this Wednesday morning at Wichita's severe weather station, 987 and 1330 KNSS.

It is 638 here with Woodward and Witt, and as we get ready to finger our way to the Commodities Update, let's check in with Tom Kelly Loeffler of Kelly Loeffler Commodities. Good morning, Tom. Well, good morning, Ted and John, and I'll have to say, Jed, had one of the best lines I've heard in a long time. Well, it's one of those things that I keep telling Ted. It's only 6.38 a.m. It's probably the cleverest thing I'll say all day, so. That was your tip of the day. Well, looking at the market. He mailed it. After we saw early upside yesterday, the live cattle... scored 12-session lows and the feeder cattle. 15 to 16 session lows took place. They bounced off the lows but closed with triple-digit losses. Now, feeder cattle are challenging support at the 50-day moving average, and it appears that there was more managed money long liquidation in the live cattle yesterday. The commitment traders report showed that the managed money's net long in the live cattle is large and only 20,000 contracts from their record net large. Now, Lean Hogg shot higher leaving an open chart gap yesterday and closed with triple digit gains. On the close, June live cattle down $2.52 at $243.55.

Well, Tom, April 22nd may be Earth Day, but I think almost as big April 22nd is National Jelly Bean Day. Who can resist a handful of sweet jelly beans on National Jelly Bean Day? Me. I hate them. You hate jelly beans? Oh, yeah. Disgusting. Ugh. Oh.

Candies made in a similar manner existed before the jelly bean, but Boston confectioner William Schraff made the item popular, going back, dating back, I don't know, you may not have known this, to the Civil War with their firm exterior. They were the first candies sold by the pound. And date back prior to the Civil War, when he encouraged customers to send them to Union soldiers, dating back as far as the Civil War. Obviously, they gained popularity when the 40th president of the United States, Ronald Reagan enjoyed them, made so much so that they were present at his inauguration. And, of course, then the jelly bellies became popular. So there you go, Tom. And today is National Jelly Bean Day. Are you a fan of jelly beans? I don't hate them, but I don't really have a craving for him either. See, I like jelly bean. Jelly bellies were great, all the different flavors of jelly bellies. And how can you not like jelly bellies? I don't know. It's just, it's just, I just, I don't like gum drops. I just don't like stuff that's real chewy and real sweet. Because they get in your teeth? Yeah, a little bit. I just, I just don't want to work that hard. Really? I don't want to work that hard. But you like Tootsie rolls. I do like, too. They're chocolate. Tootsie rolls, you got to work hard on them. They get in your teeth? John, that's something that you're going to learn. Candy for Ted means anything with chocolate in it. If it doesn't really have any kind of chocolate element, not really all that interested. Yeah, the interest level goes way down. Really? Okay, so that's it. Don't let me bring down jelly bean, Dave. No, see, I like jelly beans. But then again, you know, I'm a Reagan guy. And so it was. Jelly bellies were, you know, my mother always would buy jellybellies. There you go. I kind of draw the line at all the weird flavored ones that they have now, though, where they have jelly beans that tastes like buttered popcorn and stuff like that. Yeah. I don't really jog with you there. I'm with you there. By the way, the first blueberry jelly belly was actually created 1980, and it was done for Ronald Reagan. For Dutch. So there you go. There you go, Tom. Jelly Belly Day. I learned more about them than I needed to know. Well, you know, I try. I do my best, my friend. I do my best. Well, thank you, Tom. We appreciate it. And we'll talk to you again tomorrow morning. And we'll get another great in-depth report on the commodities update from Tom Kelly Loeffler of Kelly Loeffler Commodities. It is 643 here with Woodward and Witt. And we do have upcoming stories to get to you, including a social media platform that may help you with your doom scrolling habits. We'll be taking a look at that reconciliation package to try to pay for Homeland Security. Also, go back and get a review of what happened on the stock market yesterday here in midweek. So it's all coming up. Woodward and Witt, 987 and 1330, KNSSS.

It's 648 with Ted Woodward and John Whitmire on 987 and 1330 KMSS. Now it's time for three big things. Three. President Trump signals ceasefire in jeopardy calls extension, quote, highly unlikely. accuses Iran of repeated violations. Two. In a significant shift for the upcoming midterms, Virginia voters approve a new congressional map drawn by Democrats. Projections suggest this could allow Democrats to flip up to four Republican-held House seats. One. Second maritime incident near Iran, cargo ships fired upon in separate accounts. Cruise reported safe. That's three big things with Woodward and Whid on KMSS. Let's take a look at traffic with Jad Chambers. Right now in traffic, just remember we've got visibility at Eisenhower National Airport listed at five miles, so not full visibility there. So there could be an issue. We've also got missed in the area, so potentially some slippery roadways. And just got to notice about a stalled out vehicle. This is southbound I-235, pretty close to the ramp from Central, so watch out there. Traffic update from 987 at 1330KNSSS. In the Accident Recovery Team Traffic Center, I'm Jed Chambers. Cloudy, then clearing today, breezy this afternoon, with a high of 73 degrees. Tonight, increasing clouds, breezy with a low of 62 degrees. Tomorrow, windy, some evening storm chances possible, and a high of 83 degrees. Right now in Wichita, it's foggy and 57 degrees at Wichita's Severe Weather Station, 987 and 1330 KMSS. 650 here with Woodward and Witt on KNSS. There is a social media platform that wants to use AI to maybe help you get out of that doom scrolling. Fox. On set. Could AI redefine social media? One new network is setting out to do just that. Bond, a new social app does away with the feed-based social media experience, the kind that keeps you tethered to your device, endlessly scrolling the aggregated posts, pictures, and videos from fellow users. Instead, Bond uses AI to help organize your postings and come up with ideas. for how to spend your time. Users can upload things such as videos and pictures sorted into what the platform calls memories. It learns about your likes and preferences and how you share them with other users such as your friends. And in AI chatbot style, it can tell you about things you might like, such as new restaurants with your favorite foods and which of your friends to invite along. Bond is built by former developers for Google, Meta, TikTok, and Twitter, among others, and it is available.

So far for iOS devices. With Fox on Tech, I'm Eben Brown, Fox News. Still trying to figure out in Congress reconciliation package to pay for homeland security. I'm Chad Pergram with the Speaker's Lobby. If it's up to top Senate GOP leaders, the next budget reconciliation package to finally fund the Department of Homeland Security will be on a fiscal cocktail of wegovi and a Zempic. But other Republicans want this measure to be a high-caloric political feast. Pop-tarts, sour cream and onion potato chips from Pringles, topped with Reese's pieces and a side of Hagen-Doss chocolate peanut butter ice cream. Congressional Republicans are now teeing up a reconciliation package to end the two-month-long DHS funding stalemate. By using budget reconciliation as a tool... rule, Republicans can ignore Democrats, sidestep a Senate filibuster, and prospectively pass the bill on their own. Some want to stuff the reconciliation bill with tens of billions of dollars to cover the cost of the war in Iran. Others want to include the touchstone of President Trump's legislative agenda, the Save America Act. There's also a pushed attack on farm aid, but the broader the bill, the more challenging it is to pass. And whatever they decide to do will be a weighty question. With the Speaker's lobby, Chad Pergram, Fox News. Let's go back yesterday and see what happened on the stock market. I'm Seth Soutelle and this is the AP Market Report. Stocks fell on Wall Street and crude all prices rose as uncertainty remained about talks to end the war with Iran. The S&P 500 erased an early gain and fell 6 tenths Tuesday. The Dow lost 293 points, that's about 6 tenths percent, that as that composite fell 6 tenths percent. Market started the day higher, then pulled lower in the afternoon after Vice President JD Vance called off a trip to Pakistan where he was expected to lead. negotiations with Iran. After markets closed for the day, President Donald Trump said the ceasefire deadline would be extended until Iran presents a proposal for ending the war. The deadline had been set for Wednesday. Seths to tell New York. All right, Ted, so I've got one for you. All right. A video is going viral of a Papa John's customer losing, we'll just say she's losing her cool after reading the side of her pizza box.

Delivery fee is not a tip. Please reward your driver for outstanding service. Tips aren't paychecks. Pay your employees. So, yeah, there's some colorful metaphors at the end of the, yeah. So on the side of the box, it says, you know, the delivery fee, well, it says what she says. And she goes on to then lace her post with all kinds of commentary, shall we say. because there's a reminder on there to tip your delivery driver during the deliveries. And she is not happy with it and just rips into this video about how bad it is. And don't get me wrong. If I'm at subway or whatnot, and I find it annoying if you're at a subway and they constantly want you to tip your like Starbucks barista or whatever. But that's a little different for a delivery driver. Because they're actually delivering it to you. They're actually bringing it to you. She goes on on this video here. And, I mean, it's rude. This this tirade, profane tirade over a delivery. And I guess I would point out to her that. No one's forcing you to pay a tip. That's right. That's true. It's just sporting on the side of a box or you're going to throw in the trash in 20 minutes. That's true. Well, and on top of that, by the way, there's over 244,000 comments on this video. Needless to say, the vast majority of them are not in her favor. Okay. Yeah, she is getting lit up. for not being particularly sympathetic for her and very, very sympathetic to her delivery driver. And like I said, I mean, I always tip a delivery driver. And I'm not that inclined to tip, like I said, if I go to subway or something. Why do you tip a delivery driver and not someone else? Well, because they're... Because the delivery drivers at least... delivering it to me they're the one at least in a car it's a little different than if i'm going to subway or something like that where i i i actually they're just standing there doing their job the delivery driver's the guy driving he's just sitting there doing his job because they're at least having to deliver to me they're they're doing their delivery it's a little different than the guy standing like a barista i don't think it is somebody making food what do you think jad do you tip your delivery driver i don't get anything delivered unless it's you know Like coming by FedEx or something. I don't get food delivered. Oh, okay. You don't ever order a pizza or something? No. Oh, okay. I'll drive and get it myself. Jad is once again. Bested the system. He has bested the system, yes. I'll tip a delivery driver, but I generally don't tip like at a subway or something like that. You know, if you go to Chipotle, I generally don't tip, but, or Cudoba or something like that. But, Eric, she, she doesn't want to tip either, and she got quite offended at what was written on the box.

Which, you know, I can think of other things to get angry about that's what I was saying. I was thinking, well, she got really offended. Very profane. Let's put it in the way. I think she was also upset that they're already up charging her for a delivery fee. Yeah. And then they're asking her to tip the driver. And that's where she, that's where she blew up. But the delivery fee goes to the company. you know, doesn't go to the driver. That's the other point is you're just, you're shafting the driver. You're not, you know. I know, but she's probably like, online it says I can get this pizza for $7.99. Then by the time you had the delivery fee in and you're telling me to tip my driver, now it's $15. Yeah, that's true. Like, screw this. She's had it. She's had it. She's angry. Oh, she had it all right. And the people online are giving it to her two. It is $6.57 here with Woodward and Whit on this Wednesday morning. We have a big 7 o'clock hour coming up. We do. We'll have, we're actually going to have a little conversation coming up with Congressman Tracy Mann. Okay. He'll give us an update from Washington, D.C. We'll talk about the Farm Bill and whether or not we might see finally an end to what seems to be an endless partial government shutdown. Oh, man. Yeah, I mean, this thing, people, I think we're almost a point where people are forgetting it's still going on. Oh. But, yep, it's still going on. We'll talk to Congressman Mann coming up at 7.30. All right, good stuff. Well, glad you're with us as we hit a big 7 o'clock hour next right here on 98, 7 and 1330, KNSSS.

Currently in Wichita, we do have scattered mist in the area. It is 58 degrees here on this Wednesday morning. A child abuse case in Pawnee County in Kansas is moving forward after a judge decided there was enough evidence presented in a preliminary hearing for a man in Larned to face two felony counts. Pawnee County is in the Larned area west of Hutchinson. The child abuse charges against 28-year-old Derek Delgado follow an incident from October in which a four-month-old infant suffered brain injuries and blindness and was airlifted in critical condition from Pawnee County to Wichita's Wesley Medical Center. Over two days of court testimony, the Pawnee County Attorney's Office recapped accounts from the infant's mother and a doctor who said that the baby's injuries were not consistent with Delgado's account of what happened. President Trump extends a ceasefire with Iran as peace talks stall. The day before a two-week ceasefire was set to expire, President Trump says the truth with Iran is extended indefinitely. He had previously warned of bombing bridges and power plants if a deal was not reached. In a social media post, the president says Pakistan's leader requested the extension to allow Iran's leadership to come up with a united proposal for the U.S. Vice President JD Vance was expected to travel to Islamabad Tuesday for a second round of negotiations with Iran, but that trip was scraped. after Iran failed to agree to attend. The president says while the ceasefire remains, so too does a naval blockade preventing cargo ships from entering or leaving Iranian ports. In Washington, Jared Halpern, Fox News. Wichita's Delano neighborhood still promoting expansion. City Council agreeing yesterday to begin the process of rezoning Douglas. From McLean to Glen, several blocks west of Seneca, buildings will be zoned as Central Business District buildings. For the past 11 years, there have been 30 applications for rezoning in Delano. All 30 have been approved. So the city wants businesses to be able to come in easily and promote the walkability and accessibility of Delano. The goal to make Delano more vibrant and alive, and that this would encourage more activity in the area. Federal officials announce fraud charges against the Southern Poverty Law Center related to paying informants to infiltrate extremist groups. Civil Rights Group, the Southern Poverty Law Center is accused of improperly raising millions of dollars to pay informants to infiltrate the Ku Klux Klan and other extremist groups. It was doing the exact opposite of what it's told its donors it was doing, not dismantling extremism, but funding it. Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche alleging the nonprofit paid at least $3 million to at least eight individuals between 2014 and 2023. The money was passed from SPLC. to one sham account to a second sham account and then loaded onto prepaid cards to give to the members of the extremist groups. The SPLC alleges the informants helped monitor threats of violence. It faces charges including wire fraud, bank fraud, and conspiracy. Kristen Goodwin, Fox News.

Nearly $19 million is going to be provided for 53 airport development projects across the state of Kansas. That funding will support the planning, construction, rehabilitation of public use, general aviation airports.

A lot of athletes showed up at the White House yesterday, so let's find out who they are. And there are some folks in Minnesota that do not like the new state flag. So we'll find out what's going on there as well. And the extended forecast.

President Trump celebrating NCAA Collegiate National Champions Day at the White House on Tuesday, welcoming more than 100 collegiate champions from different sports and universities. The president calling college sports one of America's most cherished institutions. The athletes here today represent the very best of that. grit and determination and teamwork. That's why under my administration, we're fighting hard to save college sports. The president has been vocal about wanting to help the college sports industry in the NIL era. Earlier this month, he signed an executive order limiting college athletes to five years in school and allowing them only one transfer. Tony Genualdo, Fox News. More communities in Minnesota are opting against raising the state's new, raising, yes, the state's new flag. The city of Elk River, Minnesota, joining at least eight other communities that have approved resolutions to display the state's old flag. Instead of the new controversial design adopted two years ago that opponents say scraps Minnesota's history and heritage. Others have said the new flag mimics the flag of Somalia. The decision on whether to display a state flag is by law in Minnesota left to each city to decide. Elk River's choice to raise the old flag. After 75% of residents supported that decision, Jeff Monosso, Fox News. 712 here on this Wednesday morning at KNSS. Traffic right now in the Wichita area? Well, visibility at Eisenhower National Airport now listed at three miles. So worse than it was an hour ago. It does look like the fog is worse in some areas out there. I can see that on the traffic cameras. So just make sure you're paying attention out there. Make sure you're visible and other drivers can see you. And be aware that there's also some mist. So that may make things a little bit more slippery out there as well. Traffic update 987 and 1330 KNSSS, the Accident Recovery Team Traffic Center. I'm Jed Chambers. Well, let's get the extended updates. Time for the forecast. Let's check in. Let's see what's going on with Storm Team 12, Chief Meteorologist, Ross Jansen. Hello, Ross. Well, happy Wednesday to you, Ted and John. We got another day coming up here where the wind is going to be a little gusty. And, of course, as you guys have been talking about the clouds and the spit that's in the air this morning, that is the low-level humidity that we're hopeful will turn into some beneficial rainfall here before too much longer.

We certainly have been talking about the drought expanding. Western Kansas hasn't had any rain, it feels like, for months. So hopefully those areas get some rain, too. We're not going to get much out of the overcast this morning, though. Aside from this little drizzle that's in the air from time to time, this is still another day without showers and thunderstorms. It's probably going to be most of the day, but I do think we'll see some peaks of sunshine after 3 or 4 o'clock later on today. That'll get us to a high of about 71 degrees today, so not as warm as yesterday. And that wind gust out of the south may be getting up to 25 or 30 miles an hour. The clouds, if they do break up this afternoon, they'll be back overnight, the low 62, and then we're concerned about some thunderstorms coming up tomorrow. The timing would be after 8 o'clock in the evening, so most of the day is without... active weather and almost look identical to what happened last Friday when storms went right up over Wichita. We had a couple reports of some quarter-sized hail. That sort of thing can happen again tomorrow evening, just a little bit later in the evening. So the high 83 tomorrow. Once we get past 10 or 11 o'clock tomorrow night, the storms will get pushed out of here by a cold front. Friday looks beautiful with a high of 76, but just an early heads up. The weekend forecast. It does have the chance for some more severe thunderstorms returning to the area. We're looking at both Saturday and Sunday, I would venture to say, of the two days right now that might have the slightly better odds, it would be, in fact, on Saturday. So we'll be fine-tuning that as we get closer and we get some more details. But, again, both days this weekend have chances for some severe storms. Right now in Wichita, we have a cloudy start-tier Wednesday. It's 57 degrees. That's your Storm Team 12 forecast. I'm chief meteorologist Ross Jansen. So, Ross, is this mist and fog? Is this just a morning thing today? For the most part, the clouds probably won't break up until mid-afternoon, so we're not going to have nearly as much sunshine today as we've had the past couple of days. But if you're headed south, it seems like fog is a little bit more of a problem in Oklahoma than it is in Kansas. But this is a region-wide cloudy day here for the next several hours. This humidity is finally arriving, and now if we could just turn it into some rain, we'd be in good shape. Are you working with a reduced crew today over there at Kewitch is swanky taking Earth Day off like he always does? Yeah, he celebrates Earth Day by hitting the golf course. I don't know. You may not see him today. Well, if Michael Swanky goes golfing this morning, it'll be like golfing over in Scotland. Yeah, there you go. Yep, that's exactly right. All right, I'll let you get to it. Thank you, Ross. That is the extended forecast. And we'll check in again tomorrow as we do every day with Storm Team 12 chief meteorologist Ross Jansen here on Earth Day, celebrated every year on April 22nd. If you did not know that, you would be in the majority.

Oh, that doesn't surprise me, actually. 23% of people said they thought they could name the exact date of Earth Day. At least 57% knew that it fell in April, but only 26% were able to identify April 22nd as the exact day. So there you go. Younger generations claim a higher familiarity with Earth Day. 42% of millennials knowledgeable about it. Only 28% of boomers. It's been celebrated since 1970. Millennials also more likely to say they do something environmental or sustainable to celebrate Earth Day. About 30% of millennials said their behavior changes on this day. Only 12% of boomers say that is true. I would say I'm one of, I don't, today is no different for me than I behave any other day. It doesn't. I don't think it affects me to all that much. That said, 44% of millennials who do take part admitted that their earth-friendly change is only temporary, right? So maybe they'll pick up a piece of trash or do something today. Recycle. They'll commit to recycling, much like New Year's resolutions. Exactly. Commit to recycling. It's such a huge deal. And then two days from now, you're like, what? Exactly. So anyway, if you're out there and celebrating Earth Day, that's what's going on today. I got a... I know we do the blur coming up later in the show. I got a blur-esque kind of story for you. So a new website, the collider.com, has ranked the 10 greatest. Do you like action movies? I think so. I don't know. I won't say yes yet. They have ranked the 10, according to them. Again, it's according to them. So give it, you know. a little grace the 10 greatest action movies of the last 90 years oh okay so that is a very they're drawing the line yes last 90 years yes no action movies before that were any good apparently not apparently not so this is a okay and i'll be honest with you the first one The number one here, I've never even heard of. Oh, well, that's... Okay, so here's... This is their list. So, you mean diehard's not number one? They're number one. Well, we'll start at 10. They're number 10. Dirty Harry. Okay. Great movie. Good, okay. Number nine, crouching tiger, hidden dragon. All right. Which is okay. You know, it's not bad. Number eight, killed Bill, volume one, which is, you know, pretty good movie. Number seven, die hard, which I thought would be much higher. I find that low in my opinion. I think you're number six, the Matrix. which is a good movie. I don't know if I'd put it there. Number five, Seven Samurai, which is 1954. Yeah, Akira Corsoa. Very good movie. Most people, however, probably not seen it. It's because it's kind of a, it's an old. I mean, it's 54. Well, the American remake, the Magnificent Seven, more people have seen that. Yes, yes. And the remake of that. Right. Yes.

Number four, great movie, 2015, Mad Max, Fury Road. But see, I would prefer the original Mad Max. Yes, I think the original is better. Number three, I think this should be higher. Raiders of the Lost Ark, 1981. Well, if you count that as an action movie, that's a no doubt number one. I think so. Number two, and see, I think this is terribly high ranked. Number two, Terminator 2 Judgment Day. No. And I'm with you. I think Terminator should be above Terminator 2. Yeah, well, Terminator was a proper 1980s. Yeah. I mean. Blood and Gore action movie. Correct. Terminator 2 was pretty tame by comparison as far as the action's concerned. I would put Terminator before I would put Terminator 2. I don't even think Terminator 2 should be on the list, but that's okay. And number one, 1992, it's a Hong Kong film directed by John Wu, hard-boiled. Okay. And I'd never heard of it. It's got good action. Does it? It really does, yeah. So that's their list of the 10 greatest action movies of the last 90 years, and number one is hard-boiled. I'd never even heard of it. Have you ever been heard of it? I have not. I haven't either. So there you go. I don't know that it's necessarily a great movie, but it's got really good action sequences in it. I don't know. John Wu then came over to the United States, and the first movie he made was Hard Target was Jean-Claude Van Damme. So. I know. It's an interesting list. You know, I don't know. There's some action movies that didn't even make the list that I would say that. Probably should be on here. I'll take Raiders and die hard and move on with my life. I'm kind of with you. There you go. There's Collider.com, 10 greatest action movies of the year. It is 721 here with Woodward and Witt. On this Wednesday, let's take a look at what's going on in sports. Sports is brought to you by Serta Pro Painters. Be sure to schedule your free estimate online at surta pro.com. College baseball last night, Wichita State on the road at Oklahoma State. And it was another rough night for the Shockers in midweek competition against a team from a power conference. Shocks had trouble keeping up with the Cowboys. Mike Robert F. Kennedy Jr., of course, along with Denning Garrig, had the call of the game last night over on KFH. Rogers Pitch. And a drive to deep left center. That's well hit. Into the gap, it is gone. And that will end the ball game unless. Yeah, it looks like the shockers are coming off. Three-run homer for Deacon Pomeroy, his second home run of the year, and that makes it 14 to 4. And we'll end this ballgame here in the seventh inning. The run rule is in effect. Shockers coming off the field. And so the final score will be Oklahoma State 14, Wichita State 4 in a seven-inning ball game.

Oklahoma State is number two in the nation in home runs. So I guess it's fitting that the game ended there with a home run in the bottom of the seventh inning. Shocks take the loss on the road last night. Some better results from some other college baseball teams here in the state. Kansas State baseball team was in Phoenix yesterday and getting a road win at Grand Canyon, 8 to 3. K State has won three out of four, now 26 and 15 on the season. And it's another big win for Kansas. 16th ranked Kansas, winning at home, beating 20th ranked Nebraska, 9 to 7 for the regular season sweep, an all-time high attendance record for KU, 2674 at the game in Lawrence last night. And why not go see KU? They've won 14 to their last 15. And they hit the 30-win plateau for the third year in a row. Big win over Nebraska. Two top 20 teams. KU wins at 9 to 7 last night in Lawrence. And we have a winning streak on the line for Shocker Softball today. The Shocker Softball team is on the road heading up for a matchup at Kansas City. Shockers are on an eight-game winning streak, and the Shockers are in the top 20 in the nation in home runs. See if the Shocker softball team can get a few more home runs today on the road at Kansas City taking on the ruse at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Oh, I didn't need major league baseball. The Kansas City Royals back in the win column. The Royals' eight-game losing street came to an end last night thanks to a 65-KC walk-off win in the bottom of the ninth. It was a walk-off wild pitch from O's closer Ryan Helsley as Michael Garcia came home to score from third. Garcia was on base three times. He got a hit, he stole a base. He drove in a run, and he led off the ninth inning with one of his two walks. Michael Thomas Massie hit a lead-off homer in the eighth to tie the game 5-5, Thomas Massie's first homer, and the first run allowed this season by O's reliever, Rico Garcia. On today at 1230, here on the Royals Baseball Network. Yeah, and you can listen to that game today this afternoon over on KF.

More on that on the House Call for Health. And that's next on KNSS. Wichita's number one talk. This is Woodward and Witt on 987 and 1330 KNSS. Good morning. It is 732 here on this Wednesday. Ted Woodward and John Whitmire with you here on April 22nd. Currently in Wichita, we do have some patchy fog in the area. It is 58 degrees here on this Wednesday morning.

And currently in Wichita, we do have some scattered mist in the area. It is 58 degrees. We have a breeze out of the south here on this Wednesday, Wichita's severe weather station, 987 and 1330, KNSS. And with us now to bring us an update from Washington, D.C. is Congressman Tracy Mann. Congressman, thank you for joining us. It's a pleasure to have you on the show, my friend. Always a pleasure to be on, John. I know I saw you a couple of months ago, and get you hear your voice, and thanks for all this you do. Well, thank you, sir. It's a pleasure to be with you. Let's start with, you know, Ted and I were talking this morning. I don't think people realize. I think it's been, sadly, it's become too easy for folks to realize that. Many in government, many employees right now at the Department of Homeland Security are still dealing with this partial government shutdown. Republicans have launched a new effort to fund DHS. What's the status with that? I mean, the thing's been going on long enough now. The press isn't really even covering it, but it's still going on because your colleagues across the aisle continue to refuse to fund it. Well, you're exactly right. And I think let's be clear. The reason Department of Homeland Security is still shut down is because Democrats are unwilling to fund some basic services of government and that protect us. Department of Homeland Security includes Border Patrol, ICE. Coast Guard, FEMA, you know, a lot of really important agencies that are standing on the front lines and protecting every U.S. citizen. By the, those folks protect every Republican, Democrat, independent, non-voter as well. So the whole thing is very frustrating, John. The president, rightly so, was able to step in, declare an emergency and get folks paid. TSA agents are included as well, get people paid, but their ability to do that. is starting to end. And so they will be able to make one more pay period. And then the executive branch will be out of options on what they can do. So what we need to do is Congress need to come to a table and need to fully fund the Department of Homeland Security. And I mean, this thing's gone on. There was a while they were able to keep track of it. We were able to say it's gone 40 days, 30 days, whatever it is. I've lost count, to be honest with you. Is there any end in sight to this thing? There is, and so what's happening is on the Senate side, every indication is we're going to use budget reconciliation to try to get Department of Homeland Security funded. Frustrating, in my mind, that has come to that. Again, this should not be controversial to fund our TSA agents, Border Patrol, but we are where we are so optimistic that that's going to get passed out of the Senate this week. It would come to the House next week. and finally get the Department of Homeland Security funded here for the long haul. The Congress passed, the House passed the most comprehensive aviation safety legislation in decades. The other day was the Alert Act. Can you tell us a little about that and where it stands right now?

Yeah, so it passed. So I'm on the Ag Committee, done I'm also on the Transportation Infrastructure Committee, and so the Alert Act first came before the Transportation Committee, I'm fairly supportive then, and then it overwhelmingly passed the floor of the House last week. This is a response to the American Airlines flight, 4352, of course, that originated in Wichita and crashed over the Potomac last January. We need to keep praying for all of the families that were impacted by that horrible tragedy. But the National Transportation Safety Board, the NTSB, they did their big investigation looking exactly what happened. They came forward with 50 recommendations on what we do to minimize the chances that this ever happens again. All 50 of those recommendations were rolled into what's called the Alert Act, and that's what passed off the floor of the House last week. The Senate has their version. Those are now in the process being conferenced and then come to the floor with the final product to make sure that what happened never, ever happens again. We're talking with Congressman Tracy Mann. Congressman, I know you're involved heavily on the Ag Committee. Where are you all with the 2026 Farm Bill? Yeah, so that passed out of the Ag Committee, which I served on last month. Looks like the full farm bill will come to the floor of the house next week, which is a really good thing. Don't forget with the working families tax cuts, the big beautiful bill, a lot of things that Kansas ag producers need, like crop insurance, like entitlement reform. for food nutrition programs. All those things got done in that legislation and is on good footing for the next six years. But there are some outstanding things left to do. All of those got rolled into and included in the Farm Bill. Like I said, it'll come to the floor of the House next week. You know, I know we've got to let you run. We appreciate you joining us and giving us the time that you can. I have been hearing, and I know we talked to Congressman Estes with our D.C. update recently, but we've been hearing that folks are starting to see the effects of the working families' tax cuts and some of the other things that came from the Big Beautiful Bill. Yeah, you know, and so many things included in that bill. But really on the tax provisions, last week, of course, was tax day. I appreciate, you know, there's a quote from Ronald Reagan. You know, Reagan said that to Democrats every day's April 15th and to Republicans every day is July the 4th, right? Which I think is pretty good. You know, that's such a Ronald Reagan quip right there. The vast majority of Kansas last week received a much larger tax refund than they were expecting. That's a good thing in the working families' tax cuts. The most important thing is we kept rates the same. If that bill doesn't pass, every Kansas, every American receives a very steep tax hike. We stayed that off, created no taxes on tips, no taxes on overtime, virtually eliminated the death tax for most.

filers, so many good tax revisions in that bill. And a lot of Kansas saw the positive effect of that last week on April the 15th. Well, Congressman, again, we appreciate you joining us this morning. And folks want to connect with you. They can find you on X at Rep Man, and that's M-A-N, and of course online at man.com.com, correct? That's exactly right. And look forward to anyone that has any concern. You have free to reach out any time. Congressman, thank you again for joining us. It's a pleasure to have you with us this morning. Thank you. Have a great rest of the day. Congressman Tracy Mann, always nice to have him. Good to check in. It is coming up on 743 here on this Wednesday with Woodward and Witt. We do have a local business update coming up from the Wichita Business Journal, and we'll talk about a big architecture firm working on a huge contract for someone. We'll tell you who that is coming up. It is 743 here on 987 and 1330, KNSS.

It's 747 with Ted Woodward and John Whitmire on 987 and 1330 KNS. Coming up our Wichita Business Journal update with Kirk Seminoff. But first, it's time for three big things. Three.

Chase Coke and Movement Music Unvealed Downtown Wichondry Development, apartments, and new music venue are planned. That's three big things with Woodward and Witt on KNSSS. Let's take a look at traffic with Jad Chambers. The traffic volumes are still pretty heavy here in the Wichita area. Continue to be careful. Visibility and issue. We've got a slowdown northbound on I-135 approaching Kellogg right now. Things are slowing down there, stalled-out vehicle on the westbound ramp to the ramp from Westbound Kellogg to Northbound. I... 135, so watch out there in that area traffic update from 987 and 1330 KNSS. The Accident Recovery Team Traffic Center. I'm Jed Chambers. Cloudy then clearing today, breezy, with a high of 73 today. This evening, increasing clouds and breezy with a low of 62 this afternoon and this evening. Tomorrow, windy evening storm chances possible in a high of 83 degrees. Right now in Wichita, it's foggy and 57 degrees at Wichita's severe weather station, 987 and 1330, KMSS. It is 749 here with Woodward and Witt, and let's look back and see what happened on the stock market yesterday. A volatile trading session with stocks accelerating losses before the closing bell and ending lower as investors look for clarity on Middle East developments, Middle East tensions, offsetting strong earnings. Former Fed Governor Kevin Warsh, President Trump's pick to lead the central bank, was in the hot seat today and testified before the Senate Banking Committee. Most all of the 11 S&P 500 sectors were in the red with tech and industrials, the worst performers, while energy was the only gainer. The Dow winners United Health Group, Microsoft and Caterpillar, The Dow decliner's Goldman Sachs, Sherwin Williams, and Honeywell. The Dow falling 293 points, the NASDAQ lower by 144, S&P 500 down 45. Hillary Barski, Fox News. 750 here with Woodward and Witt, and now it is time for a local business update brought to you by Mr. Electric, lighting up the path to your success with a Wichita Business Journal update. So Wichita's largest architecture firm is competing for work on a $250 million contract to design U.S. Army's facilities in the Midwest, according to the Department of Defense. Tesserae is one of five architecture firms in the country selected by the DoD to compete with one another to provide design services for an unknown number of projects in the Midwest over the course of a decade.

Along with four other firms, Tessaray will bid on each order for architecture and other engineering services sought by the Army for projects in the Midwest. Tessaray will compete against architecture firms in Omaha, Columbus, Marion, and Jacksonville, Florida for work on each project. Work locations and costs will be determined for each order as they arrive with estimated completion dates by 2036, according to the Department of Defense. Boeing has released its first quarter results, revenue up to $22 billion, primarily reflecting 143 commercial deliveries. Total company backlog at Boeing is now a record $695 billion. That backlog includes more than 6,100 commercial airplanes. So that's some of the numbers that Boeing released. Aside from the headline numbers, the metrics that matter the most right now for Boeing are deliveries, cash, cash burn, and whether or not CEO Kelly Ortberg's turnaround playbook is holding up. Boeing's stock did jump by more than 3% on some of that news. Earlier in the month, Boeing reported 143 commercial aircraft deliveries in the quarter. That's up compared from 130 a year ago. and steadily improving since the Alaska Air Door Plug blow out early in 2024. Boeing also out-delivered Airbus for the first time in seven years, besting the European Giants deliveries. Of course, for Boeing, it's the workhorse 737 Max that accounts for a lot of those commercial shipments, about 80% of its total turnout. And, of course, Wichita is a big part of that 737 Max production line. And Boeing also confirming a sustained production rate of 38 max aircraft per month as of late last month. So some good numbers for Boeing, and it looks like Boeing stock is probably going to do fairly well today, you would think. Good numbers for Boeing or good for Wichita? And that means good for Wichita. Exactly. That is a local business update from the Wichita Business Journal right here from KNSS, and we'll have another local business update coming up one hour from now. John, one of the stories next hour, I might be able to tell you about a house you might want to buy. Okay. I'll get right on that. It's on the northwest side of town. Okay.

Oh, so good. It is 755 here with Woodward and Witt. 7 o'clock hour, check. Now it's time for the 8 o'clock hour. Man, we have more tons of information coming your way. Yep. Virginians voted on a redistricting map. The results. Could very well impact the upcoming midterm elections. We'll talk with Evan Brown from Fox News Radio here in just about 10 minutes or so. And we do have entertainment news in The Blur, which will be coming your way at 835 this morning. You will not want to miss all the great audio and information coming up there as well. KNSSS News Time is 756.

Good morning. It is 8 o'clock here on this Wednesday, April 22nd on KNSS. Currently in Wichita, we do have some scattered mist in the area. It is 58 degrees here on this Wednesday morning. The Wichita Police Department confirming that a woman who was shot during a domestic violence incident at a northeast Wichita apartment complex has died. She was shot on Friday morning last week. Yesterday, police identified that victim as 25-year-old Kay Ivey Unruh, a military veteran who worked as an engineer for PBS, Kansas. In connection with her death, jail records confirmed the arrest of 29-year-old Joshua Orlando, initially booked on an active charge of aggravated battery and held on a $300,000 bond. Now an additional charge of first-degree murder added yesterday. Orlando is still in jail. He's awaiting his first court appearance. Iran fires on two ships in the Strait of Hormuz with peace talks shelved and the ceasefire extended. Iran's Revolutionary Guard says the first target, a Liberian-flanked container ship, failed to respond to warnings. An Iranian news agency said their country was lawfully enforcing control over the Strait of Hormuz. Later, a cargo ship reported being fired upon and stopped in the water. These incidents follow President Trump, saying the United States would indefinitely extend the ceasefire that was due to end later today at Pakistan's request. Tehran has been given time to come up with a... unified proposal. It means planned peace talks are on hold. The U.S. blockade of Iranian ports is to continue. Jonathan Savage, Fox News. At this morning's Sedgwick County Commission meeting, the board is going to recognize young adults with disabilities who have interned with the county to gain real-world job skills. The commission will also be discussing a $70 million project to build workforce housing in Park City. The county also is planning to apply for a federal grant from the Department of Justice. The commission holding its weekly meeting at 9 o'clock this morning that's on the first floor of the downtown Ruffin Building. Improvements are planned for Wichita's Nomar District in North Wichita. Wichita City Council approved $250,000 in improvements to the area at 21st Street North and Broadway. 200,000 will erect a permanent stage at the east end of the plaza with 50,000 for public art, including shade. Mayor Lily Wu called the project and intentional investment into the cultural assets and the city that the city maintains. And this type of investment is necessary to not only keep the residents we have in Wichita, but attract visitors to come to our community. After public engagement and design work is complete, the city will begin construction in about a year. Health leaders here in Kansas are warning that ticks are out in big numbers this spring.

While some people in Kansas have reported a seemingly higher number of ticks than usual, Cassandra Olds at Kansas State University said it's not necessarily a higher number, but rather that tick season starts earlier every year. In the past couple of years, we've really had this trend of spring coming early, and so we've had ticks come out earlier. Not only can ticks carry Lyme disease, ticks can cause a serious, potentially life-threatening allergy. A bite from a lone star tick, one of four tick species commonly found in Kansas, can cause alpha gal syndrome, which essentially gives you an allergy to red meat. Experts say ticks are most commonly found in grassy wooded areas. The best way to protect yourself is by taking precautions before you go out into those areas. That means wearing long sleeves, long pants, and even tucking your pants into your socks. You can also use insect repellent. Phil Hildebrand, KNSSS News. New research indicates daily caffeine consumption could lead to a lower risk of developing dementia. A cup of Joe may benefit brain health. A study involving more than 130,000 people found that those who drank 2 to 3 cups of caffeinated coffee every day had an 18% lower risk of developing dementia. Similar results were found for people who drank 1 to 2 cups of caffeinated tea. Experts explain caffeine may reduce the accumulation of amyloid beta. It's a toxic protein associated with Alzheimer's that's found in plaques. say the chemical effect of caffeine may also be neuroprotective. But if you're thinking this means it's time to drink even more coffee, think again. Experts say more research is still needed. For now, stick to just a few cups. That was Fox's C.B. Cotton, and I'm going to go grab another cup of pray for our coffee. Yeah, why not? Can't hurt. Exactly. You'll be in good shape. Hey, this is a big day worldwide and observance. So we'll be talking about that. Coming up in just a few minutes, that is Woodward and Witt. It's 805 here at KNSF. It is 808 here with Woodward and Witt on this Wednesday morning. Virginia voters have approved a controversial redistricting map that could reshape the balance of power in Congress, handing Democrats a potential path to gain up to four additional House seats. Supporters argue it's a necessary counter to Republican efforts in states like Texas, but critics say it's one of the most aggressive gerrymanders in recent history, raising serious questions about fairness. legality and the future of redistricting nationwide. With us now to tell us more about the story is Eben Brown from Fox News Radio. Evan, thank you for joining us this morning.

Good morning. So the new map could give Democrats an advantage in 10 of Virginia's 11 districts. The former map was 6 to 5. It was fairly well balanced. Evan, at what point does this redistricting cross the line from strategy into outright manipulation? Well, that's a good question. And the courts, the federal courts, do give states a lot of latitude with picking their congressional district boundaries. That's sort of, to the victor go, the spoils. Right. The legislatures or whatever have a lot of power to do that, and the courts have ruled on that. What the courts have, what really matters here, especially with Virginia's case. is whether or not they're following their own rules in doing so. And in Virginia, the law says a redistricting committee has to come up with the maps and do this. The vote yesterday that the yes vote kind of won by a smidgen, a couple percentage points, is to suspend that rule and allow the legislature to do it themselves kind of willy-nilly over the next five years. And the legislature has a map ready to go. That would, as you noticed, very likely advantage Democrats in 10 of those 11 districts. And if that is to come to fruition the way they hope it would, it means there would be four fewer Republicans in the U.S. Congress and four more Democrats. As you can imagine, that would have set certainly the balance of power. Now, in other states are doing similar things, California, Illinois, Texas and Florida are trying to do it anyway to advantage Republicans. And again, states have a lot of leeway to do this. But in the case of Virginia, are they following their own rules in doing so? And that's something that the Virginia Supreme Court has yet to rule on, even though the case is already before them. So we'll have to wait. Well, and that's the key here. The new map has already been challenged in the Supreme Court. And unlike, you're right, this is, you know, tit for tat. Both sides do it. Republicans, I mean, I know Republicans are complaining about it. And, you know, I had a Republican call me and asked me about it. And I said, hey, you know, we can't complain. We do it, too. The one difference here, however, does seem to be this issue of the committee process here. And that's where this may get caught up in the court process because they aren't playing by the rules here. And that seems to be the distinction, correct? Correct. Correct. So, you know, this depends on what the court will rule. And so that's why everyone is sort of in a holding pattern for now. But it has to be resolved sooner rather than later. We are almost into May. And the election is November. And at some point, in between that point, we have to draw, you know, the Virginia elections offices around the state in every county have to start printing up ballots. Right. So the time, there needs to be time to do that. So I suspect that the Virginia Supreme Court is going to rule sooner rather than later on it. Do we have any idea on a timeline on this, Evan?

We do not. I suspect sooner rather than later is the best answer I can give you. Well, sooner rather than later at least gives us an idea. Hopefully we'll get it sooner. Evan from, Evan Brown from Fox News, we appreciate you joining us this morning as always with those insights. Ted, that's a, you know, ultimately, and we hate to see this go this way. Ultimately, it may come down to the courts, and in the meantime, we just have to wait. Yeah. Sometimes those issues, you just have to play the waiting game. Yeah, sadly. That's the way it goes. Thank you. Good stuff. And it is 813 here with Woodward and Witt. And this is a big day. Millions of people are marking Earth Day. It started over five decades ago to raise awareness over growing concerns of pollution in our food, waters, and air, with the overwhelming public response that added pressure on Congress to do more to address pollution. Passing landmark legislation, including the Clean Air Act of 1970 and the Clean Water Act of 1972, giving birth to the modern environmental movement in which Earth Day has expanded to become an annual global event, motivating action in more than 190. two countries and inspiring people worldwide to clean up and preserve a planet. That's now home to 8 billion humans. Jeff Monasso, Fox News. The British royal family paying tribute to Queen Elizabeth the second yesterday on what would have been her 100th birthday. Charles III in a video message reflected on the decades-long reign of his dearest mama. She remained constant, steadfast. and wholly devoted to the people she served. The king, though, believes the current state of the world would have troubled her deeply. I'd take heart from her belief that goodness will always prevail. The 100th anniversary of Queen Elizabeth's birth is being marked by revealing the final design of her official memorial statue. It'll be placed in London's St James's Park, a stone's throw from Buckingham Palace. In London, Jonathan Savage, Fox News. 815 here on this Wednesday morning at KNSS. The traffic volumes are getting thinner out there, and so things in traffic are starting to look a little bit better. We just had a couple of areas where we had some issues in traffic a little bit ago, but it doesn't look like it's slowing anything down. We had a stalled-out vehicle, I-235 southbound, between Seneca and MacArthur. But right now it doesn't look like there's any backup down there because the traffic volumes are just getting quite a bit lighter out there. Do still have reduced visibility due to some fog and mist. Traffic update from 987 and 1330KNS, the Accident Recovery Team Traffic Center. I'm Chad Chambers. And our forecast. Storm Team 12 with meteorologist Jake Dunn. Hello, Jake. Good morning. Cloudy skies will eventually clear out this afternoon. Strong south winds 15 to 25 and gusty and a high of 73. Clouds come right back in tonight, breezy and mild overnight low 62. Clearing skies windy and warm on Thursday with a high of 83, but thunderstorms are likely during the evening. Those could be strong if not severe, mostly sunny and really nice on Friday, high 77. That's your forecast from Storm Team 12. I'm meteorologist Jake Dunn.

Currently in Wichita, we do have a breeze out of the south, some scattered mist in the area. It is 58 degrees here on this Wednesday morning at Wichita's severe weather station. 987 and 1330, KNSS. Are we water snobs in America? Maybe. A new survey found we have very strong opinions about what water we drink. I guess. I mean, you know, my wife's got this new, as you can tell, my wife's got me hooked on this new smart water. Yeah, my sister. And I like it. You know, it's good. It tastes good. And I don't normally drink a lot of water, but ever since she started getting this, I like it. So I guess I can see that. Why do you ask? Well, they did a survey, and two-thirds of Americans say they are picky. More than half claim that they can tell what kind of water they're drinking without being told. Some people say they can even tell the type of water by smell alone. I don't know about the smell, but I will say that there is a taste difference between, say, this, because we've got, you know, the bottle water in the fridge back there in the kitchen, and this smart water tastes different than the bottle water in the fridge back there. So I will say it does taste, even though water is water. Nearly half of Americans refuse to drink tap water in certain places. Oh, I'll drink tap water. I don't care. It's tap water. I mean, I wouldn't drink it in Mexico, probably. Not in Topeka. That stuff stinks. I will agree with that. When you come home to Wichita, you're like, oh, thank you. Trust me, having lived in Topeka for four years. Now, that water in Topeka. I will agree with you. The tap water in Topeka, I agree. But I don't know about the. I don't know about the smell. I don't think the water smells any different, but I will tell you, this water tastes better than the water. Yeah, I agree. I was going to say, I can remember back when I was a kid, living at home, of course, I lived out on a farm, we had well water, and that had a very distinctive taste to it, that when we switched over to a rural water system, I was like, the water just tasted. very, very different in a short amount of time. Now, of course, that was a good thing. That water we had in the well was pretty harsh and the water in the rural water district was way better for you, but I still do remember the taste of that well water. Yeah, it was... I remember my parents and I went to Scotland on a vacation. I've been there a couple of times, but I remember one of the hotels we stayed at in Scotland. Oh, my gosh. On the Isle of Sky. Oh, water was... Amazing. It was just, yeah. Highland, highland spring water. Oh, it was to die for. But, you know, it's, on the other hand, it's water. It's, you know, a lot of people will.

I got to have my certain kind of water, and my attitude is water. And now there's some, of course, now that some people say that water's not. The most filthy thing you can do is drink out of a hose outside. Yeah, and I'll drink. That was one of the great joys. Yes. When I was a kid, it's 105 degrees, and you drink out of water coming out of the hose. Yes. That's fantastic in the summer. And I know people who are, you know, oh, my gosh, there's microplastics, and they're all so worried. I don't care about that. I'll drink out of a puddle if I'm thirsty. Exactly. Exactly. You know what I mean? What do I care? It is 820 here with Woodward and Witt on this Wednesday, April 22nd. Let's take a look at what's going on in sports. Sports is brought to you by SertaPro Painters. Be sure to schedule your free estimate online at sirtapro.com. At college baseball last night, Wichita State on the road down in Stillwater, taking on Oklahoma State. The team that the Cowboys have dominated this rivalry in recent years, and unfortunately for the Shockers, last night was not much different. Mike Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Denning Garrig had the call of the game for the Shockers last night on 97-5 and 1240, KFH. The bottom of the third was just a nightmare as Oklahoma State got a lead-off Homer from Brock Thompson. And then of the next eight hitters, seven reached on some kind of free pass. Hit by pitch or a walk. There were four straight bases loaded walks. And then the ninth straight man to reach on an RBI single as Oklahoma State scored eight in the inning, took a nine to one lead. Four straight bases loaded walks. Oh, wow. Yeah. Oklahoma State won that game 14 to 4 in a run rule in seven innings. Shocking. Big crowd in Stillwater last night, 4,300 at that game. As the pokes get that win. Hey, I have better news from Major League Baseball as the Kansas City Royals trying to snap an eight-game losing streak. So the game is tied five to five. We go to the bottom of the ninth inning. How does that first guy get on base? A lead-off walk. All right, you can see this coming. So the Royals in the ninth inning. Walk. Wild pitch. So Mikhail Garcia is on third base.

And it's a one-game winning streak, Jake. After seeing all the bounces and all the breaks and all the moments go in the other direction for the last eight games. The Royals get a bounce their way. How about that? Yeah, they'll take it. Ninth inning. Walk, walk, wild pitch, wild pitch. And the Royals win it six to five over the Orioles. And, yeah, snap that eight-game losing streak. And the Royals are no longer the worst team in the major leagues because the New York Mets have now lost 12 games in a row. Remember when the Royals and the Mets played in the World Series 11 years ago? Anyway, so, yeah, the Royals got the... Hey, they go for two in a row today, a day game. The Royals hosting Baltimore. Live radio coverage of the Royals at 1230 this afternoon. That's over on KF8. The shocker softball team is red hot. Shocks have won eight in a row. And they'll try to add another one today on the road at Kansas City, taking on the ruse at 4 o'clock today. And the shocker softball team is in the top 20 in the nation in home runs. We'll see if they can hit a few more home runs today and get a win on the road. The shocker softball team at KC today. Hey, that's sports with Woodward and Whit.

The Sean Hannity Morning Minute. Next on KNSS. Good morning. It is 832 here on this Wednesday. Ted Woodward and John Whitmire with you on this April 22nd, Earth Day. Currently in Wichita, we do have drizzle in the area, and it is 58 degrees on this Wednesday morning. A man convicted in the death last May of his pregnant girlfriend has been sentenced in Sedgwick County District Court to 74 years in prison. 20-year-old Matthew Cresenzo pleaded guilty to charges including premeditated first-degree murder. Sentencing approaches just about a year since the death of 20-year-old Naomi Oglesby late last May, a reported shooting in the 700 block of South Laura, not far from Kellogg and Washington. Police officers found Oglesby, who was nine months pregnant at the time, and she was suffering from a fatal gunshot wound. Medical personnel were able to deliver her baby successfully.

On Tuesday, U.S. Senator from Kansas, Dr. Roger Marshall, introduced the Health Savings Account Expansion Act. That legislation would expand access to HSAs. Senator Marshall said it will give Americans more freedom and flexibility in how they pay for health care. He says the act would dismantle regulations preventing millions of Americans from accessing or... management of health care costs. He says the bill expands HSA eligibility to people on Medicare, Medicaid, and CHIP. He says it also expands HSA eligibility to all plans that have a deductible above a certain amount, regardless of other factors. Officials in Florida approving the use of an alternative type of gasoline is an effort to drive down high costs at the pump. But the fuel does pose some concerns for drivers with older cars. E15, also known as the winter blend, has been given the green light right here in Florida in order to drive down gas prices. And while it offers cheaper fuel, it also comes with a cost to your car and potentially the overall air quality. This move comes as gas prices average around $4.4 a gallon nationwide. The winter blend contains 15% ethanol and isn't typically sold during the summer months. E15 gas is often cheaper by $5. 10 cents per gallon as it's less expensive to produce than petroleum-based gas, although AAA warrants this winter blend isn't ideal for all cars, especially older models. And that's Fox 13, Tampa Bay's Blake Devine with that report. All right, here's a, here's a story. I just don't even know what to do with this one. A woman sues a Trader Joe's grocery store in Portland, Oregon. claiming her juice contained a piece of a glove that may have had a human fingertip inside it. The lawsuit filed in Malnoma County Court on Tuesday. Julie O'Neill was doubting a bottle of orange juice with what she reportedly thought was a large piece of pulp in her mouth. Turns out when she pulled the material out, she found out it was a fingertip end of a rubber glove and thought it may have contained the end of a finger that she inadvertently swallowed. The lawsuit says she had a burning as well as gagging in nausea sensation and went to urgent care. O'Neill is seeking $10,000 in damages. Chris Deluzio, Fox News. And my first thought on this story is, if had this been me, it would be a heck of a lot more than $10,000. Yeah, exactly. See, settling cheap. You don't even go in six figures with that? Oh, come on. Oh, yeah. Well, I'd be adding a zero real quick. Wow. Yeah, that's nasty. Go ahead, Jed. Go ahead and say it. No, I was just going to say six figures. The guy's got a little bit more than six fingers left. Oh, I figured you were going to go with the...

Pulp comment. It's 849 with Ted Woodward and John Whitmire on 987 and 1330 KNSS. Coming up our Wichita Business Journal update with Kirk Seminoff. Now it's time for three big things. Three. President Trump signals ceasefire in jeopardy calls extension, quote, highly unlikely, accuses Iran of repeated violations. Two. The Department of Justice has indicted the Southern Poverty Law Center on 11 counts of wire and bank fraud. One. Second maritime incident near Iran, cargo ships fired upon in separate encounters. Cruise reported safe. That's three big things with Woodward and Witt on KNS. Let's take a look at traffic with Jad Chambers. Currently in traffic, the traffic volume is getting pretty thin out there, and so things on the roadways are actually looking pretty good. We still have some fog and mist in the area, but even that does appear to be less thick than it has been earlier this morning, and so just be aware that visibility may be limited in certain areas out there, and you could see some slippery roadways from time to time. Traffic update from 987 and 1330 KNSS. The Accident Recovery Team Traffic Center. I'm Chad Chambers. Cloudy, then clearing, breezy today with a high of 73 degrees. This evening, increasing clouds and breezing, the low of 62 degrees. Tomorrow, windy with some evening storm chances possible and a high of 83 degrees. Right now in Wichita, it's foggy and 57 degrees at Wichita's Severe Weather Station, 987 and 1330, KMSS. It is 851 here with Woodward and Whit. Coming up after our show, of course, it's two hours of the Glenn Beck program from 9 to 11 a.m. One of the topics today on the Glenn Beck program, more evidence that Democrats will rig the Supreme Court as soon as they can. One of the topics coming up on the Glenn Beck program right after us here on KNSS. Hey, the stock market is open for the day. Good news. Everything is well up today. Everything is ahead by more than a half percent. as the NASDAQ and the Dow Jay Jones Industrial average are both up 0.7% on the day. And we had that story about Boeing numbers pretty good earlier, and Boeing stock is up on the day as well. So that's what's going on on the stock market. It is 852 here with Woodward and Whit, and now let's take a look at a local business update from the Wichita Business Journal. When plans were announced for Second Light as a 24-7 emergency homeless shelter and hub for in-house services, Other agencies in the area pivoted toward a new way to help unhoused in Wichita. That included humankind ministries. With a 140-year legacy in the community, it was time to lean into the most needed with unique services that it offers. HK in 2020 began raising, raising money rather, for capital campaign renovations to many of its 155 units across.

Four properties at the villas amid the studios, which all needed some TLC. By 2025, it had raised $2.5 million and applied for a challenge grant through the Maybe Foundation.
