Ted Woodward and John Whitmire. This is Woodward and Witt on 987 and 1330 KNSS, Wichita's number one talk. Good morning. It is 6 o'clock. This is Monday, April 13th, here on KNSS, here on this Monday morning. We will be telling you about... Another battle between the House of Representatives and Governor Laura Kelly when it comes to vetoes. I'm Rodney Price. It was a violent weekend in Wichita with several shootings reported. The details are just ahead. Currently in Wichita, we have a gusty wind out of the south, cloudy sky. It is 67 degrees already here on this Monday morning, April 13th. Wichita Police investigating multiple shooting incidents during the weekend, including one person dead. A 37-year-old man is dead and a 54-year-old man is in serious but stable condition after the two were shot early Saturday in the 6,300 block of West Kellogg. Less than an hour later, a 31-year-old woman was left in critical but stable condition after being shot in the 500 block of North Nams. Three others were hurt in a fight that preceded the shooting. A third shooting Saturday afternoon in the 2,500 block of East 25th Street left three people in critical condition. Police are investigating if this incident was connected to either of the previous shootings. Finally, a crash-in shooting early Sunday morning at 13th of Mosley left a 42-year-old man critically hurt. A 21-year-old man was taken into custody. Rodney Price, KNS News. Kansas lawmakers in the House and Senate voted to override one of Governor Laura Kelly's budget vetoes before they adjourned the session on Saturday. Advancing a provision that would give legislators a 4.4% pay raise. Kelly vetoed 31 provisions in the state budget bill. One of them included the 4.4% increase for lawmakers, which Kelly criticized while pointing to a 93% pay increase legislators received less than two years ago. The same budget provision includes only a 1% raise for other state employees. Kelly had proposed a two and a half pay raise for those workers instead. A U.S. blockade of Iranian ports will begin today after talks aimed at ending the war failed. According to the Iranian armed forces, this amounts to piracy. The U.S. military says it will stop maritime traffic entering and exiting Iranian ports and coastal areas from 10 a.m. Eastern. It's a response to negotiations over the weekend, which failed to produce an end to the conflict. Yesterday, President Trump said the U.S. Navy will also begin destroying mines that Iranians had laid in the Strait of Hormuz. Iran's foreign minister Abbas Araghchi, who was part of the talks, accused.

the United States of moving the goalposts when inches away from a deal. Jonathan Savage, Fox News. A man has been sentenced to over 22 years in prison in connection with a 2022 shooting. 28-year-old Diego Brissino was arrested in 2022 on charges of aggravated battery, reckless bodily harm with a deadly weapon, and criminal possession of a firearm by a felon. After a Dillon's parking lot shooting that took place on February 10th of 2022 near 21st in May's Road, Wichita Police responded and found an 18-year-old male, Inman Foy, with a gunshot wound. Foy directed them to another victim, a 21-year-old man who was also in the parking lot and had multiple gunshot wounds. Foy was taken to the hospital and booked into jail upon his release. He was released from jail later after posting bail, Wichita Police located Brasino as another suspect in the case. Phil Hildebrand, KNSSS News. The Kansas legislature voted to override Governor Kelly's veto on a bill aiming to protect free speech on college campuses, honoring the legacy of slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Wichita Eagle Opinion Editor Dionne Kelly Loeffler joined KNS, John Whitmire, for a discussion on that topic. That's the nature of free speech, and I think you have to defend free speech, even the speech that you find offensive. Oh, yeah, and I do, but... Well, apparently not. You're wanting to limit this to speech that you agree with. Well, no, I'm trying to limit this to, I'm trying to limit this by time, place, and manner. But that's limiting it to speech that you agree with. Point, counterpoint, biweekly. Friday mornings here on KNS. A striking clash between the White House and the Vatican as President Trump criticizes Pope Leo this weekend. In social media posts and remarks to reporters, the president said he's not a fan of the U.S.-born pontiff. He's a very liberal person, and he's a man that doesn't believe in stopping crime. He's a man that doesn't think that we should be toying with a country that wants a nuclear weapon so they can blow up the world. The president's comments come after the Pope warn that a delusion of omnipotence is fueling the conflict involving Iran. Remarks widely interpreted as aimed at U.S. leadership. The president pushed back saying he wants a pope focused on faith, not politics, and criticizing Leo's stance on global conflicts. Ted Lindner, Fox News.

As of this past weekend, the Apple Computer is now half a century old. 50 years ago, on April 11, 1976, computing enthusiast Steve Wozniak, a new business partner, Steve Jobs, debuted to the Homebrew Computer Club in Palo Alto, California, the Apple One Computer. According to the Henry Ford Museum, the two Steve's produced 50 of them. And all they were were motherboards. People buying them needed to buy or build cases and get keyboards and monitors. The Apple One allowed for them to perform computing functions at home that would usually require large commercial mainframes at a retail price of less than $700. About a year later, Apple would unveil the more advanced Apple II and even took existing customers Apple I's back as a trade-in. Eben Brown, Fox News. I remember the Apple 2. Yeah? That was one of my first computers was an Apple 2. How about that? You were. You go way back. Yeah, I go way back. My parents, my mother bought me that, you know, going to school. And I think it was the last time I owned an Apple. Which now, you know, I don't think, well, you know, now unless you're going to do graphic design, almost everybody I know owns, you know, Microsoft products. But interesting. I mean, everything we have here, it's all Microsoft products. It's all, you know, I don't. Chad, what are you? Do you own an Apple or do you? No. No. Yeah, see. I learned on one when I was a kid. Those were the first ones that we had at schools was the more affordable and kind of widely popular 2E. 2E. Yeah, that was it. Yeah. And so that was, those were the first ones I ever dealt with in schools. Yeah. Yeah. Interesting. Wow. Who knew? Fifty years. Well, I just saw there was a story where France is getting rid of all Microsoft stuff because they don't want to be reliant on America and Microsoft for all their computer stuff. So they're switching to something different. Ah, yeah, okay. I mean, I get it. I can see that. It's like, you know, we're trying to wean off of...

Middle Eastern oil. They're trying to wean off of American computers. I get it, trying to be independent. Good luck with that. It is 613 here with Woodward and Witt. And as you get your Monday morning traffic commute underway, Jad Chambers will be helping you out all morning long with traffic conditions, Jad. So far this morning, things in traffic have been looking good. The conditions are okay out there. Really not seen. too many problems so far this morning. We've got just a couple of areas where the traffic is starting to get a little heavier and starting to pick up. This is maybe K-42 right around I-235, but for the most part, things on the roadways here in the Wichita area, still looking fairly good. Traffic update from 98-7 and 1330KNSS. The Accident Recovery Team Traffic Center. I'm Chad Chambers. And let's take a look at our weather forecast. Storm Team 12 meteorologist Jake Dunn. Partly cloudy, windy and very warm today, a high of 88, south winds 20 to 30 and gusty, breezy and mild tonight, overnight low 65. Partly cloudy continued very warm on Tuesday, high 87. There is a chance of storms, especially east of the turnpike on Tuesday afternoon. Partly cloudy, a little cooler on Wednesday, high 80. That's your forecast from Storm Team 12. I'm meteorologist Jake Dunn. Currently in Wichita, we do have a wind from the south gusting up to 25 miles per hour. 90% humidity. We're under a cloudy skies. We await the sunrise. It's already 67 degrees. Here on this Monday morning, Wichita's severe weather station, 987 and 1330, KNSS. Woodward and Witt with you here on this Monday morning. The Baltimore Orioles had a unique performance of the National Anthem this weekend.

It was done by four-time whistling champion, and he's a member of the Whistling Hall of Fame. I didn't know there was a Whistling Hall of Fame. I didn't either. Chris Oman is the guy's name. I feel like we should stand up. So he did the whole anthem there for the Baltimore Orioles, whistling. Whistling. How about that? You don't get that every day. No, you don't. That's a different way of doing it. Well, I mean, you've got to do it 81 times a year. You've got to get variations on a theme. Different things going on. So there he is. The guy's in the Whistling Hall of Fame. He's not bad. I mean, I'm hearing it in the background. He's hit all the notes. Yep. I think the crowd loved it. Right. They're very respectful and quiet. There we go. You got it. Yeah, it's not bad. I mean... So that's what... That's one of the anthems for the Baltimore Orioles this weekend. Whistling. Here's another... Here's one. There's a video going viral. It is a parrot that went underwater for 15 minutes in what they are calling a mini submarine. The parrot's name is Beebe. Here's the parrot's owner, Stephen. This was a homemade contraption, extensively tested before BB ever went in to the water with it. It's a... food grade, safe, plastic safe container. He was only in this for about 15 minutes. So he was fed and watered before he went in. He went in willingly. He likes doing these kinds of adventurous things with us. He was not stressed. We know what our bird looks like when he's stressed. Why? Yeah. This guy's in Iowa, by the way. This is going on in Iowa. How do you know he went in willingly? Yeah, exactly. Was that parrot informed that he was going to be underwater for 15 minutes? And how do you know he liked it? And I go back to the point of why. What's the point of throwing your parrot in a tub and throwing it over water? I think because the guy gets a viral video out of the whole thing. Yeah, I guess that's what it is. That's why. Benjamin Netanyahu has nothing to do it. Benjamin Netanyahu doesn't care if there's a viral video. Well, you know, and again, you're right. Why is because you want to get. viral video likes and shares and you want your 15 minutes of fame by subjecting your parent just sitting in a tub underwater for 15 minutes yeah okay dude you know well of course he was given the interview there i'm kind of surprised in the background we weren't hearing the parrot saying things like help yeah exactly yeah get me out of the can probably one of the owner there you go there's the parrot in iowa i guess it's uh hey how was the John Whitmire show last night. I was good. It was good. We had a good show and a lot of collars and it was fun. You know, we had, uh, it was good. It was always good. It was nice having, uh, Senate president, Ty Masterson on. And, you know, it's funny is there, I, we use the metaphor of, uh, you know, like a Churchill Downs because the minute they gavel out, signy die.

They are often running campaign-wise, and you can really tell. I've talked to a number of them. A lot of them in particular are ready to go because now it's over. Once they're done, they're ready to campaign. You can sure tell. But they're gearing up. The campaign season will definitely heat up. That part of the year is finished up. Yep. Now we move into a different mode. Now it's campaign season, and boy, they're starting. It's interesting. But no, we had a good show. Thanks for asking. How was your weekend? Did you do anything fun? Not to especially. I think I just kind of did stuff around the house. Yeah. Lazy. Soccer baseball team was out of town, so I didn't have any of that. Didn't have any sports. No. So you actually got a weekend off. I kind of. I watched the Masters. I wanted to keep track of Wichita as Sam Stevens. He actually, you know, he kind of had to come kind of pull it out there, but he, what was it, two under, two under came in 24th, which for first start at the Masters. First time ever, that's pretty cool. That's not too bad. That's not too bad at all for a rookie on his first big stage. Chad, how was your weekend? A lot of it was kind of ruined by happenstance and stuff here. My Friday got cut short once again by another problem that we have up at Colerwich. So as soon as we got done here, I was, man, I was foot out the door. I was almost ready to get out and get going. And all of a sudden. I've got problems here to come back and take care of, so I ran back here to do that. And then Saturday, I got up kind of late, and I decided, you know what, this is just Saturday. I'm going to go and do all the housework and the cleaning and the laundry, and I'm going to get all of this stuff done, and then go shopping, and finally got everything done, the apartment clean, shopping done, get home, and I'm like, okay, now I can start to relax. Severe weather coverage. Had to come back here and do severe weather coverage for KNSS. Oh, that's why they pay you the big bucks. Yeah, so two out of the three days were just more or less completely taken over by work. It is 620 here with Woodward and Witt on KNS. Let's take a look at what's going on in sports. We had shocker baseball on the road yesterday against first place UAB. Shockers lost the opener on Friday. One on Saturday, tried to take the series yesterday, and Shockers got it done. Mike Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had the call of the game in Birmingham yesterday, over on 97-5 and 1240, KFH. Gatter stepped out. He's back in the box. Two-two pitch. And he golfs it in the air to center. It's going to carry a little bit, carrying a lot. Hall back to the track, and it's gone. He started back, kind of hesitated, kept going back, reached up, and it landed on the other side of the fence. And that's certainly, to some degree, a wind-blown fly ball. But it becomes Nolan Gantor's first home run of the year.

And Wichita State leads three to nothing here in the third. And the cleanup hitter, first baseman, Nolan Gander, hit another home run later in the game as the Shockers beat UAB 10 to 2 and take the series. Two out of three against the first place team in the conference. How about that? Shockers have a winning record on the road. Now tied for third place in the conference just to game out of first. Nicely done for the Shocker baseball team. Minor League Baseball, the Wichita Wind Surge. Win in Little Rock yesterday, five to three in 11 innings for a split of the six-game series. First Road Series of the year for the wind surge. Pretty good to get a win out of a game in which you had zero hits into the eighth inning. But Wichita finally got to the Arkansas bullpen and won that game. Wichita shortstop Ben Ross now has a nine-game hitting streak. He's batting 4-44 on the season. Back-to-back wins for the surge. Three games back in the division, a day off today, coming back home. Major League Baseball of the Kansas City Royals trying to take three out of four from the Chicago White Sox after wins on Friday and Saturday. You heard the game of the Royals yesterday afternoon over on KFH. A frustrating day for the Royals that did include a three-hour rain delay. The Royals and their fans waited out a three-hour rain delay Sunday. It was a back-and-forth game that wound up with a White Sox gaining a split in this four-game series with a 6-5 victory. Down 2-0 in the 3. KC scored 3, thanks to four consecutive walks and an infield hit. Royals took a 3-2 lead. Casey fell behind 4-3 in the 4th but scored two more runs on RBA hits by Isaac Susan Collins and Bobby Wood Jr. to go up 5-4. But Chicago tied it in the 6th, went ahead 6-5 in the 7th and they won the game. We're on tomorrow at 5 on the Royals Baseball Network. So the Royals split a four-game series against the bottom team in the big leagues. That's not good day off today for the Royals. Golf, we were mentioning it earlier, the 90th Masters in Augusta, Georgia's Sam Stevens. Shot a four under yesterday in the final round over the final 12 holes. So he finished strong, ended up in a tie for 24th place at two under par. Wins $182,000. That helps as well. As a boy, he had a nice weekend. Two under on Saturday, two under again yesterday. Back to back, 70. For Sam Stevens of Wichita. And Gary Woodland, the former Kansas Chahawk, very rough days on Friday and Saturday. And then yesterday a minus 6, 66 in the final round. Woodland ends up tied for 33rd place at the Masters, and he gets $120,000 for the win. And let's go to college men's basketball. KU officially losing one of its big guys, the big 6'10 center, Flory Bedunga, the Big 12 defensive player of the year, is going to transfer to Louisville. Reportedly, Louisville is going to pay Bedunga $5 million this year.

That's more than twice what he would be making if he decided to go to the NBA. So that's a no-brainer. And frankly, this is the problem with the current situation in college athletics. It's not a problem if you're Louisville or Badunga. You shouldn't be paying players in my opinion. This is what happens. He's out of that bottle. Yep. Never to come back again. They need to fix that. Until they do, you're right. This is what happens. Good for him. The Doongas want to be paid $5 million this year to go to Louisville. Shouldn't be paying players.

Here on this Monday, April 13th, Ted Woodward and John Whitmire with you. Currently in Wichita, we have 90% humidity, a gusty wind from the south, cloudy sky, and it is 67 degrees here on this Monday morning. One person died after a crash in northeast Wichita. This happened late yesterday afternoon. The fatal accident near 24th North and 143rd Street East. The law creates a 25 foot. Kansas Attorney General Chris Kobach is clarifying a new immigration enforcement law set to take effect after lawmakers overrode Governor Kelly's veto of the measure. The law creates a 25-foot buffer zone around law enforcement officers while they perform their duties. Kobach said the law also protects local agencies when they detain people who are in the country illegally during other criminal investigations. Kobach said the measure does not turn local agencies into federal immigration task forces or require targeted immigration enforcement. What it does is it allows them to quickly determine using ICE databases if the person really is in the country illegally, and then it allows them to transfer that individual immediately to ICE custody for deportation. Critics argue the law is government overreach and interferes with local control. Phil Hildebrand, KNS News. The veto session of this year's Kansas legislature came to a close in the wee hours on Saturday morning. Senate President Ty Masterson of Andover's as the legislature set a new record. It was another good one. We did set a brand new record. I think in total it was 35 overrides, fully completed. 35. 20 policy items. Yeah, 35, 20 or straight up policy items and then 15 of her budget line items.

Making our elections have more integrity with immigration and public safety and school freedom and all that. We had to override vetoes to get any of that. Senator Masterson was a guest last evening on the John Whitmire show here on KNSS. Hutchinson Police arrested a man wanted in connection with child rape allegations. Police said they arrested Nathan Lara after Salina Police issued an arrest warrant the previous day. In Salina County, In Saline County, rather, show Laura faces three counts of rape of a child under 14 and three counts of aggravated indecent liberties with a child. The charges are tied to alleged incidents dating from 2020 to 2022, according to court records. Lara also faces charges in Sedgwick County. He is scheduled to appear in court on April 27th. It's really dangerous this time of year to run into an alligator. It's alligator mating season when female gators get aggressive. Brandon Fisher, a Florida's Gatorland attraction. Typically, you know, it lasts for about a month and a half, two months maybe, and then the females are going to build their nest, lay their eggs. It takes 60 to 65 days for those eggs to hatch out. So typically baby Gators hatch out beginning September. Gators are entrenched across the southeastern U.S. Wildlife officials say avoid encounters by staying away from lakes and ponds. If you come across a gator, don't provoke it. Make some noise and back away. If you're walking your dog, make sure the pooch is on a leash and near you. Savannah Bone of Gatorland tells Fox TV affiliate WOFL Orlando. Don't underestimate gators. I hear people all the time laughing about. Oh, alligators aren't that smart. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Right? Well, guess who's the one that's getting taken? Not the alligators, the humans. Take pause. Jill Nato Fox News. Ted, if you come across a gator, don't provoke it. That damn there's good advice. Don't worry. Not going to be a problem in my life, I don't think. 638, let's check our weather forecast. Storm Team 12, meteorologist, Jake Dunn.

So Tom, April 13th is, there are actually three days, three things that are celebrated on the 13th. One is it's National Scrabble Day, which is kind of, you know, unless you're into Scrabble. And it is also National Thomas Jefferson Day, which, you know, I love the founding father, so I kind of like that one. But then again, there is one thing today that when I read it, I thought to myself, this is right up, Tom's. Tom's Alley. Today is National Peach Cobbler Day. And I had to think to myself, I'll bet you Tom Kelly Loeffler is a peach cobbler guy. So today is National Peach Cobbler Day, which is celebrated all across the country, unable to make traditional suit pudding due to a lack of suitable ingredients and cooking equipment. The settlers instead covered a stewed fitting with layers of uncooked plain biscuits and dumplings.

fitted together and then layered with peaches, and hence the development of cobbler. And today is National Peach Cobler Day, which started back in the 19th century. So make yourself some peach cobbler today, Tom. That sounds really good, especially with vanilla ice cream on. Yes, see, and I knew that you would be up for peach cobbler. I figured that would be of the three, that would be the one that you would be into. But I do enjoy a lot about Thomas Jefferson. I've read a lot of stories about him and stuff, and I do enjoy that. Scrabble. I'm not a very good speller. Yeah, me too. I'm not very good at my siphren. In 2007, by the way, the world's largest peach cobbler was made at the Georgia Peach Festival. It consisted of 90 pounds of butter, 150 pounds of sugar, and 150 pounds of flour, 32 gallons of milk, and 75 gallons of peaches. to make the largest, world's largest peach cobbler. And that record still stands today, by the way. So there you go. How'd you like that? Like to gobble up some of that cobblers. I would too. I'd be all in for the world's largest with 90 pounds of butter. That might be good for your cholesterol. It sure is tasty. There you go. Tom, go get yourself some peach cobbler today. We'll do. All right. We'll let you go. Thank you, the old cobbler there. Tom Kelly Loeffler of Kelly Loeffler Commodities with the Commodities Update right here with Woodward and Whit. Hey, it's Monday, April 13th. Coming up, we'll be telling you about, uh, did you ever see those lights coming at you from the other car and like, This is horrible. Because they left their high beams on. Or just maybe the modern LED headlights. Yeah, they do. They get right in your eyes. So we'll talk about that a little bit. We'll talk about the teeny tiny thing at the end of your pencil. And we'll take a look at what happened on the stock market on Friday. A lot of things coming up. KNSS News Time 644. It's 6.48 with Ted Woodward and John Whitmire on 987 and 1330 KNSS. Coming up, our Wichita Business Journal. Excuse me. No, that's next hour. It's okay. It's a Monday.

President Trump orders naval blockade of Iran after 21-hour talks collapse in Islamabad. That's three big things with Woodward and Witt on KNSS. Let's take a look at traffic with Chad Chambers.

Very briefly, KDOT said that that slowdown that I was noticing earlier where they had that sign truck up was a crash southbound on I-135, right about 17th Street north, so just a little ways past 21st Street there. However, they've got it cleared. Traffic going through that area right now. All lanes open and everything clear right there. So traffic looking quite a bit better at the moment.

Do you have problems ever with that glare coming from those modern LED highlights on the car heading toward you? It's Fox Wheels. It's a major roadway distraction that's often out of driver's control, blinding LED headlights coming right at you or from behind. With a AAA survey showing six and ten drivers saying that glare is a major safety issue after dark, forcing drivers to either look away or turn away rearview mirrors. Safety experts say taking your eyes off the road to avoid glare is dangerous. Though despite public concerns, the National Highway Traffic Safety. administration says legally compliant LED headlamps improve overall visibility and road safety, noting that current data does not show a significant correlation between LED headlight glare and traffic crashes, according to a recent auto blog report. Though the agency does say it's assessing further studies on LED headlamps and may take additional steps based on those findings. That's Fox Wheels. I'm Jeff Monasso. Fox News.

All right, more on a very small thing in our lives. It's at one end of your pencil. Fox Facts. April 11th marks the anniversary of a simple idea that changed a familiar everyday tool, putting an eraser on a pencil. In 1858, Philadelphia stationer Hyman Lippman received a U.S. patent for attaching a small piece of rubber to the end of a wooden pencil. Before that, fixing a pencil mistake meant reaching for a separate eraser or sometimes even rubbing the page with a small piece of bread to lift the graphite. Lippman's solution was simple. the eraser directly to the pencil, so it was always there when you needed it. The design quickly caught on and became a standard feature on the pencils millions of people still use every day. But years later, the Supreme Court ruled his patent invalid, saying he hadn't invented anything new, just combined two existing products. Still, the idea stuck. And for more than a century and a half now, that little pink tip has been erasing all evidence of mistakes. Matt Murphy, Fox News, I guess you're right. Technically he didn't invent anything new. He just took two things and stuck something. He made it better. Interesting. Yeah. I still didn't get a patent. Wow. Interesting. Hmm. All right, the last time the stock market was open was back on Friday. Let's review. Stocks ending mixed for the day, but up for the week with the NASDAQ notching its eighth straight session of gains its longest winning streak since August of 2024, following March's CPI report, with inflation data rising to its highest level in nearly two years in the wake of the Iran War. However, the conflict had a less severe impact on inflation than economists had anticipated. Tech gain while health care energy and consumer staples lagged. Software stocks got battered on AI disruption fears. Chip stocks advance with Broadcom stock popping 5%. Intel stock rose 2% with shares of the semiconductor company closing hire for an eighth straight session. Hillary Barski, Fox News. All right, it's Monday, April 13th. In a new poll, people were asked for their opinions on various days of the week. Not surprisingly, the least popular day by far. Monday. Monday. Not surprising in the slides. Only 42% of employed Americans have a favorable opinion of Mondays. Still, 42%, yeah. Each passing day of the week got a jump in favorability, leading all the way up to Saturday. 85% of working people love Saturdays, and Sundays 78%, pretty much the same. So Mondays ranked last for every age group, even retired people, don't like Mondays. Interesting. Just 69% of retired people say they're cool with Mondays, much higher than employed people.

But it's their most hated day as well. 77% of retirees enjoy Tuesdays and Wednesday and Thursday. It's all the same to them. Apparently after Monday, it's all the same. Maybe there's a, yeah, when you're retired, you know, you just march through. One, half a dozen of another, yeah. But okay, what about something good for Monday? People were asked about their favorite months, everyone's least favorite month, January and February. And I would say April. tax month but people like the spring people like yeah okay okay i get march a big step up leading into the event overall october is number one people love the autumn yeah i could see that holidays on your doorstep sure yeah 76% of people like octobers may is second at 76% the summer is coming weddings graduations yeah i could see that things like that i could see that warm weather's starting to take hold april is third on the list at 74% so there you go We don't like Mondays. We don't like January and February. That's why there was that song. I don't like Mondays. Tell me why. I don't like Mondays. Well, it is Monday. Yep. And, you know, we're not going to throw water in your face. We're glad you're listening to us. Of course we are. As we give you a great information. Head you off on your week. Which we will in the 7 o'clock hour. What are we got in the 7 o'clock hour? Well, coming up at 7.30, we normally do our Mondays with the mayor with Mayor Lily Wu, but she is out of town. today. So we'll be with the vice mayor, Dalton Glasscock. We'll be with us. He'll give us a preview of what the city council is going to be up to this week. Very good. We'll look forward to that at 735 as we do every Monday morning. It is 655 here with Woodward and Whit. We're glad you're with us here on this Monday, April 13th on KNSS.

Good morning. It is 7 o'clock here on this Monday, April 13th, here with Woodward and Witt. Currently in Wichita, we have a gusty wind out of the south, the cloudy sky. It is 68 degrees here on this Monday morning. A shooting leaves three people in critical condition. This happened on Saturday afternoon. Police are trying to figure out if it's connected to violence earlier on Saturday morning. The afternoon shooting happened about 3.30 Saturday east of 25th and Grove. Three victims, including a 23-year-old woman, a 50-year-old woman, and a 66-year-old man. Wichita Police Chief Joe Dan Sullivan says a child was also inside the home at the time of the shooting. These individuals just unloaded numerous rounds blindly into that house with no regard for human life, for anyone's human life. And officers are still investigating all these cases. President Trump said with no agreement with Iran in place to end their nuclear ambitions, the U.S. will act to police the Strait of Hormuz. President Trump said he will send ships to carry out an all-in or all-out blockade to keep Iran from selling oil to only those it chooses. On Fox's Sunday morning futures, the president said he doesn't believe the U.S. will go it alone. We think that numerous countries are going to be helping us with this also, but we're putting on a complete blockade. We're not going to let Iran make money on selling oil to people that they like and not people that they don't like. U.S. Central Command said the blockade will be in effect after 10 a.m. Eastern Time Monday. Iran continues to say it has a right to nuclear energy for peaceful purposes. Gernal Scott, Fox News. Wichita police are investigating a crash yesterday morning and a shooting that left a man critically injured. This all happened at about 2 in the morning yesterday, at 13th and Mosley in North Wichita. Two cars collided at the intersection, then a disturbance broke out between the parties involved. A 21-year-old man and driver of one of the cars shot a 42-year-old man, a passenger in the other vehicle. The victim suffered a single gunshot wound to the upper torso. It was hospitalized in critical but stable condition. That 21-year-old man with the gun has been taken into custody for questioning. The Wichita Police Department is warning residents about a scam in which callers claim a person has an outstanding warrant or missed jury duty and will be arrested unless they make an immediate payment. Police say scammers may demand payment through unconventional methods such as Bitcoin or gift cards.

And you'll want to be here for our live weather forecast. We will visit, as we always do every day, with Storm Team 12 chief meteorologist, Ross Jansen. That's all coming up. Right here on Woodward and Witt, 987 and 1330, KNSS. 709 here on KNSS on this Monday morning. flocking to Gulf Coast beaches for spring break, but there are some unwelcome visitors in the water. Beach bummer. The subtropical sea creature, the Portuguese man-of-war invading Gulf Coast beaches from the Florida Panhandled to Texas. Washing up all week at Ford Morgan, Alabama, they look like tiny sailfish or jellyfish with a balloon-like float that looks blue, purple, or pink, and tentacles that extend up to 100 feet. Hard to see in the water. Unmistakable to feel a sharp, stinging pain. from barbed tubes that deliver venom capable of killing small fish or welts on human skin and allergic reactions, even weeks after they wash to shore. Pensacola Beach lifeguards flying red and purple hazard flags and warning, don't pick up or touch. Their sting is extremely painful. Teresa Crowley, Fox News. Before last year's Masters, it was fair to wonder if Rory McElroy would ever win the Masters. Now he has two green jackets. After letting a six-stroke lead slip away on Saturday with a 73, Rory McElroy fell back to fourth place early Sunday. But after bogeing the sixth hole to go two over on his round, he righted the ship and shot three under the rest of the way. Rory is a rare repeat winner at Augusta. Courtesy CBS McElroy finished one stroke ahead of world number one, Scotty Sheffler, who didn't card a single bogey on the weekend. He joins Tiger Woods, Nick Faldo, as the only back-to-back Masters champions. It's his sixth career major matching Faldo for the most by a European in the modern era. I'm Tim Henry McMaster, Fox News. 7-Eleven here with Woodward and Witt on this Monday. Let's get a track and weather update. Traffic right now in Wichita looking a little bit slower. We've got more traffic on the roadways right now, seeing those traffic volumes picking up on the traffic cameras around the area, but something you'll need to watch out for southbound I-235, and it is down by Meridian, down in southwest Wichita. We do have a stalled-out vehicle pretty close to the ramp right there, so watch out for that. Traffic update from 987 and 1330 KNSSS. In the Accident Recovery Team Traffic Center, I'm Jed Chambers. And let's take a look at our live weather forecast with Storm Team 12, chief meteorologist Ross Jansen. Hello, Ross. Well, happy Monday, Ted and John. Hope you guys had a great weekend. The weekend wasn't too bad around here. We didn't have to worry too much about a lot of severe weather. We had that one storm on Saturday that got a little feisty for a while and produced some wind damage up around Mount Hope. But that was certainly the exception and not the rule as we check out the forecast now for the next several days. We do have a possibility of thunderstorms tomorrow, late afternoon, early evening. I think the severe weather chance on Tuesday is going to be south and east of the turnpike.

and moving away from which it's off fairly quickly. So we'll have to watch for a few thunderstorms as we get into the evening. Some brief heavy downpours. Most of us probably won't get any rain at all tomorrow. And then looking ahead, the next chance for severe storms to impact the area will be coming up on Friday. And it would be late afternoon, early evening, when we have that risk of hail and high winds. So over the next several days and really throughout this... I just don't think we're going to see that much rain here. We do have strong winds already out there this morning, and it will be a windy day with sunshine returning throughout the day, the high getting up to 88, and because this wind is going to eventually bring in some drier air, the fire danger is increasing this afternoon. Tonight, our low will... Drop back to 66 degrees. It'll still be breezy overnight. And we're headed for another windy day tomorrow with a high of 87. Now again, late afternoon, early evening. More than likely, it'll be after 4 o'clock. A chance for a few hit and missed thunderstorms with the severe weather chance southeast of the turnpike. Wednesday, we catch a break from the Kansas wind and we cool down a bit with a high near 80. Right now at Wichita, we've got 69 degrees. The winds are gusting to 30 miles an hour. That's your Storm Team 12 forecast. I'm Chief Meteorologist, Ross Jameson. Hey, Ross, this is Chad. Now, I've just got to say thank you to you and Peyton for helping me out with the storm coverage on Saturday. Really, most folk here in the Wichita area might not have even realized it was going on, but, man, if you were in the Mount Hope area, that was really dangerous. Yeah, it was quite a storm. You know, certainly always happy to jump in and provide what we see on the radar. But yeah, that storm definitely for about 15 to 20 minutes had quite a hook echo on it out in Reno County. And then it just took a turn to the east, which is that's what big supercells or big thunderstorms do. They like to take a turn into the humidity that's feeding them. And so when it took a turn to the east. Certainly looked like it was on a course that would bring it right into northern Sedgwick County. Luckily, though, it became more of a windstorm and not a tornado as it approached Seduit County and glad that the damage wasn't more widespread. And some of those storm systems, a lot of scary looking stuff for some folks on Saturday. There's lowering of the clouds and all that stuff going on. Yep, yeah, that's what we're here for. And we were grateful for our train spotters and, you know, chasers and stuff to provide some eyewitness accounts. But what they were seeing up there in southeast Reno County, we had a wall cloud for a while. Remember, that's a lowering of the cloud base. And then sometimes you can get a funnel or a tornado that develops out of that. But luckily, no big tornado out of that storm Saturday. Good stuff. Hey, thanks for keeping us updated. We appreciate it. And we'll talk to you again tomorrow morning. That is the live forecast. Storm Team 12 chief meteorologist Ross Jansen here with Woodward and Witt. Hey, we have a big hockey game coming up, and we'd like to let you go for free. We've got a couple of tickets to give away. Wichita Thunder First Responders Night is coming up on Saturday.

And that is the final home game of the season for the Thunder. So, hey, we'd like to get you those tickets. It is first responders night downtown at Intrust Bank Arena. And that means that it's the annual police versus fire department hockey game at 415 Saturday afternoon. A little two-fer, basically. That's always fun. And then there's the end of the season awards for the Thunder, and then the hockey game itself that night. So we'd love to send you there with a pair of free tickets. How do you get your name entered? Well, here's what you do. You text the word hockey. Text hockey to the number 20357. And then you're entered for your chance to win a pair of tickets to the final game of the season. And we'll keep that contest open all the way through Thursday morning. So you've got four more days to enter once a day and get your name in there. Maybe you'll get a couple tickets to go see Wichita Thunder First Responders Night. The season finale for the Thunder coming up on Saturday night. Once again, text hockey to the number 20357 for your chance to get entered and maybe win those tickets. A man in Florida not pleased with how much his bill was when he went to lunch. shocking that he had to pay $25 for grilled chicken salad. And he didn't even order anything more than water with it. So I was just brutally reminded why I don't go out to eat anymore. I went and met someone for lunch, went to Outback Steakhouse. I literally ordered a salad. with grilled chicken on it. Pretty good sized salad, but it's all lettuce and tomato and some bacon bits. I had literally four little strips of grilled chicken on there. I drank water. My bill with the tip was $25. What in the world's going on? That does seem high. No, it doesn't. Have you gone out lately? Every meal is 20 bucks. For a grilled chicken salad sandwich? Every meal is 20 bucks, pretty much. And if you add a tip in, it's going to be more. I don't know, Kudoba. You can go get a Kudoba for 12 bucks. lately that that's grilled chicken but what if you get a beverage and a tip then it's getting you're getting close to 20 oh yeah i guess you're right has this guy just not been out of his house for the last four or five years i guess it costs a lot to eat out yeah i guess you're right now that i think about it yeah okay so what's a i have to go look and see what like a grilled chicken salad at applebees or something would cost you 25 bucks it does seem high to me maybe i'm wrong No, that's probably a little bit high, especially if you're just getting water. Where is he based on? But, I mean, maybe it was one of the, you know, if you go into a sit-down place. Yeah, I guess. You're not getting out of there very cheaply. Yeah. All right, all right. So this guy's shocked that he had to pay $25 at a meal where he went out. Good luck. All right, so give you a.

Speaking of how much you spend on things to, you know, where you spend most on things, a recent report analyzed the states that spend the most on alcohol. I don't know if you saw this analysis. So, you know, maybe some responsible liquid self-care in the wake of tax season, for example. A recent report analyzed the states that spent the most on booze. Not surprisingly, Utah came in dead last. That's probably not surprisingly. They got tight alcohol rules there. And, you know, obviously some of their cultural norms probably dictate some of that. On the flip side, Alaskans spend the most on alcohol, which is probably, you know, makes sense, I would imagine. Each adult drops an average of, well, you want to take a guess at how much the average Alaskan spends on booze in the course of a year. 500 bucks? $1,250 a year on booze. But you break it down, that's only about $100 a month. So it's not bad, $25 a week. Here are the top 10, Alaska, $1,250 a year. Wyoming, $1,38 per person. Colorado, 1,2002, Massachusetts, 1180, Rhode Island, 1150, and New Hampshire are the top Oregon. 1,100, Montana, Hawaii and Washington. I round out the top 10. So, you know, it's not... About a thousand bucks a year is the average for the top 10. So it's still a lot if you think about it. So, you know, I don't know. I can't imagine spending that kind of in the course of a year, but maybe it helps you get through to the day. I guess. We don't spend that much on booze in our household. So I can't think of spending that kind of money on alcohol, but we're not big drinkers in the Gretchen Whitmer household. It is 721 here with Woodward and Witt on this Monday, April 13th. Let's see what's going on in sports. Shocker baseball yesterday trying to get a series win on the road against the first place team in the conference. UAB. Shockers get the job done. And hey, the cleanup hitter, first baseman Nolan Gantor, had a day to remember. Mike Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had the call over on 975 and 1240, K of H. And a high fly ball to right. Carrying a little bit. The right fielder started in goes back. It's gone. Another wind-blown fly-ball home run. Nolan Gantor, homerless until today hits his second of the game. And the shockers lead five to two. And the shocks would go on to score five more and win it 10 to 2. Nice job for the shock to take two out of three on the road against the first place team in the conference. Winning pitcher. Johnny Nuones.

Zero runs allowed into the seventh inning. He got the win. He's now 4 and 1 on the season. Shocker baseball tied for third place in the conference just to game out of first. Nice weekend at UAB. Minor League Baseball, the Wichita Wind Surge, winning at Arkansas, 5 to 3 in 11 innings. As Wichita splits that six-game series. Starting pitcher, Ty Langenberg went five scoreless innings, eight strikeouts. He's got a 1.5 earned run average for the surge. Back-to-back wins for Wichita. And a day off today coming home for a week at home. Major League Baseball, the Kansas City Royals were trying to take three out of four against the bottom team in the majors, the Chicago White Sox, but it didn't happen yesterday. The White Sox won the game 6 to 5. The Royals twice had a lead in this one. But the White Sox got the last two runs of the game on a basis-loaded walk and on a wild pitch. So the White Sox and the Royals split this four-game series. at Coffman Stadium. And there was a three-hour rain delay, too. You're going to have a three-hour rain delay, at least win the game. Didn't do that. Off day today for the Royals. Golf at the Masters in Augusta, Georgia, yesterday. Finishing things up, Wichita's Sam Stevens. His first ever time at the Masters, and he did pretty good. In fact, a great finish. Four under on the final 12 holes, and he ended up finishing in 24th place at two under par. And he was really good on the weekend. Two under 70 on Saturday, two under 70 again yesterday, to win $182,000. And college men's basketball. A couple of exits from the state of Kansas. KU.C.U. Center, Flory Bedunga, the Big 12 defensive player of the year, is going to leave KU and go to Louisville, where they are paying him $5 million. Almost twice what he would make if he went to the NBA. And P.J. Haggerty is leaving Kansas State, and he is transferring to Texas A&M. Not a shock. PJ Haggerty is now going to play basketball at five different schools in five years. He was fourth in the nation scoring last year, averaging 23 a game. Kay State paid him two and a half mill. Looks like A&M is going to pay him $4 million next year to go play basketball for the Aggies. That is sports with Woodward and Witt. Sports brought to you by SertaPro Painters.

725 here with Woodward and Witt. We have a traffic and weather update coming up, and health officials hope you take a moment and sign up to be a donor. That's coming up on House Call for Health. Next on KNSS. Good morning. It is 732. Here on Monday, April 13th, Ted Woodward and John Whitmire with you. Currently in Wichita, we do have a gusty wind out of the south, cloudy sky. It is 68 degrees. President Trump announcing a blockade of Iranian ports on the Strait of Hormuz starting at 9 o'clock this morning. The move comes after 21 hours of peace talks between the U.S. and Iran ended without an agreement. The U.S. demanded the Strait of Hormuz be opened. Many ships carrying much of the world's oil are bottlenecked there. President Trump says to Iran's nuclear ambitions were the main reason the talks failed. Iran reportedly did not agree to terms ending uranium enrichment and dismantling nuclear facilities. The discussions were led by Vice President JD Vance. Face-to-face talks were the highest-level discussions between the U.S. and Iran since the 1979 Islamic Revolution. That's Fox's Alicia Acuna with that report. A 31-year-old woman was critically injured, and another three were hurt after a large fight early this morning led to a shooting at an apartment complex near downtown Wichita. It happened just before 245 Sunday morning in the 500 block of North NIMS near Central Riverside Park. The victim was shot in her upper torso and was transported to a local hospital in critical but stable condition. Wichita Police Sergeant Paul Kimball told our partners at 12 News they are investigating several scenes. We had an area where the fight occurred, and then we had an area where some shots were fired, and then we had an area where a gun was pointed at several people. So there was three separate, like, areas that we were working at one time. Officers also located three additional victims who had been battered during the fight. A 28-year-old woman, a 32-year-old woman, and a 31-year-old man. The subjects fled the scene prior to officers' arrival. With this year's Kansas legislative session finished for the year, the focus now moving to the August primaries and the November general election. Senate President Ty Masterson of Andover says it's very important for Republicans to maintain legislative majorities, especially in the House of Representatives. Oh, 100%. The thing is, since we failed on a constitutional amendment, if the House loses this supermajority. We won't have, there will be a whole term you can't get a constitutional amendment because that has nothing to do with who's in the governor's office, right? That's the super majority of the legislature. And if we lose the supermajority on the House, getting a constitutional amendment to restrict property tax would be basically impossible. And Senator Masterson was a guest last evening on the John Whitmire show here on KNSS.

Sexual misconduct allegations against Democrat California Congressman Eric Swalwell have ended his run for governor as calls increase for him to step down from his seat in the House. Democratic Congressman Eric Swalwell says he will end his campaign for governor in California. Or women accused Eric Swalwell of sexual misconduct and sexual assault on Friday. Eric Swalwell has denied the allegations, quoting them about being absolutely false. Democrats are also calling for the Bay Area congressmen to resign his current seat in the House. Some even say they will support expulsion if he refuses to leave. That was Fox's Ashley Strohmeyer. A man in Florida jailed after allegedly leaving his ex-girlfriend to die in a sinking car. John Manlio Lucas from the Melbourne, Florida area is charged with trying to kill his ex-girlfriend. Deputies say Lucas began strangling her. inside her vehicle when she refused to resume their relationship. People saw it happen and called 911. There's a man in a white escalate beating on someone in the driver's seat. But after losing the pursuing deputies, they say Lucas drove off a causeway through a fence and into a canal, overturning the car and leaving the woman in the sinking car after escaping. And going on the run, the woman was rescued and will recover. Lucas already tried asking for leniency. Is there any way I can get any kind of reduce? The judge denied that request. In Miami, Eben Brown, Fox News. 736, here with Woodward and Witt on this Monday morning. Let's see what's going on with the weather. Storm Team 12 meteorologist, Jake Dunn. Partly cloudy, windy and very warm today, a high of 88, south winds 20 to 30 and gusty, breezy and mild tonight, overnight low 65. Partly cloudy continued very warm on Tuesday, high 87. There is a chance of storms, especially east of the turnpike on Tuesday afternoon. Partly cloudy, a little cooler on Wednesday, high 80. That's your forecast from Storm Team 12. I'm meteorologist Jake Dunn. Currently in Wichita, we do have a wind out of the south gusting up to 27 miles per hour. Cloudy sky, it is 68 degrees here on this Monday morning, Wichita's severe weather station, 987 and 1330, KNSS. Well, the Wichita City Council has two primary sessions scheduled for this week, the 13th and the 19th, I believe, focusing on formal legislative actions and future planning. Normally on Mondays, we have the mayor with us, but she is out of town today. So a pinch hitting, so to speak, is Vice Mayor Dalton Glasscock, and we're happy to have him with us this morning. Dalton, thank you for joining us. Pleasure to have you on the show this morning. Happy Monday, guys.

So we've got, you've got a couple of meetings this week. One of the things that I know you guys are going to be discussing is setting up a number of city budget town halls that are coming up over the next few days, correct? We do. Each district is going to be having their own budget town hall to get feedback from residents leading up to the budget season, and then we'll have one community-wide town hall that will be held at City Hall. District 4, which is our I represent Southwest Wichita, also proudly represent John Whitmire, is going to be on May 9th at 930, and that's going to be at Prairie Homestead Senior Living Facility, and then the citywide one and all the other ones are available on our website. So if you're interested in getting involved in helping direct the city council on our spinning priorities, please come to one of those. You know, I've said multiple times the answers for a lot of the challenges we find in the community aren't just going to be found from seven people on the bench, but I'm confident they can be found in the 400,000 residents we have in our community. Do, have you got any idea? I know in the years past, we've looked at it, and it seems like the budget. At one point, I know in the out years was looking at a deficit, it seems like it kind of has improved a little bit. What are they telling you? What are forecasters telling you so far? We're in a good place for 2027, and I think that comes with fiscal conservatism and fiscal leadership that I believe that the city council is working toward. And I know that the mayor and a majority of council are looking towards as well. And so 2027, we are looking towards, I mean, we're codified. We have to have a balanced budget. But in 2027, we have no projected deficits. 2028, we do. And we'll have to make some systemic changes for that. But that's. good governance to figure out, hey, what is our income and what are our expenses going to be as a result of that? And our income only is derived from the taxpayer. And so even in that, we have to make sure that we're good stewards and making sure that we can offer relief when possible, but also make sure that it can fulfill the basic functions of government that people expect us to do every single day. How much of a deficit are we looking at room 28, do you know? Projections change here and there, given especially interest earnings, that's probably largely dependent on what our deficits are. We're projecting around 3 million in 2028, and then that expands from there because we have to make systemic changes. But that can fluctuate again with interest earnings, a whole other host of factors as well, appraisal values, and we know that that's a big topic of consideration of the state, and it should be a big topic of consideration at the county. school and city level as well. That's better than it was, though. A few years ago, they weren't you looking at closer to $8 million? So, I mean, it's better just by virtue of the income that the city's making. It's better than it was. It's better through appraisals. It's better through interest earnings. And it's, I think, better as well, because we're trying to find efficiencies in government as well and making sure that we're being good steward to the taxpayer dollar. So there's a lot of factors that go into that.

When you have a budget that's about $776 million, there's a lot of factors that can feed into that. But the core of it is making sure that we're responsive to residents. And that's why these budget town halls matter so much to get citizen feedback in this process and figure out how can we continue to be more efficient. I know, John, you've led a lot of those conversations as well. How can we make sure that we're continuing to improve work at City Hall every single day? We're talking with Vice Mayor Dalton Glasscock with our Mondays with the mayor segment. Dalton, one of the other issues that I know is up for discussion today, you guys are looking at updates to the ethics ordinance, correct? We are, and I think that's probably one of the biggest things that we are discussing today between that and also public notification regarding zoning. I think of the two biggest items coming before the city council. We're just trying to make sure that we're strengthening language. You know, in particular, we're adding and strengthening section three that specifies that we're the city council in order to maintain public confidence and not commit a criminal act and affect the city's honest trust. trustworthiness or abilities as a city. We're also looking at how we strengthen language when it comes to whistleblower. Um, you know, since the ethics ordinance has passed, uh, there have only been three violations and 11 cases considered. And so that will be, um, I think it was originally passed in 2024. It was amended, uh, subsequently a little bit and then this will be some revisions of the ethic ordinance. I know one of the other things that's coming up, and I know we're coming up on a break here, but the Wichita Airport Authority has begun holding public workshops to discuss future growth with the master plan. Is there some expansion out of the airport that's being considered? So I am proud to represent the aviation core of the aviation capital. And so anything doing at the airport I always get excited about when I hear from especially young professionals in the community, the number one thing that they want to keep them in Wichita is also more direct route to be able to explore the world and be able to see things. And so a lot of the topics of consideration we're going to be hearing from the airport authority have to do with expansion of the runway to be able to make sure that we make FAA requirements. And the more infrastructure improvements we have, the more likelihood that we could expand operations at the airport at some point. Well, that'll be interesting. I'm sure the first thing we'll look at is how do we pay for it, which is always a concern. Dalton, we appreciate you taking the time to join us this morning. If folks want to reach out to you, if they have questions, what's the best way for them to contact you? They can either go directly to Dalton Glasscock.com or they can visit Wichita.gov, and you can click on City Council and you're able to connect there.

Let's get the latest from editor Kirk Semenoff. It's a Wichita Business Journal update, brought to you by Mr. Electric, lighting up the path to your success. Good morning, Kirk. Good morning, Ted. The historic Scottish Rite Center in downtown Wichita is headed for auction after its owner failed to repay millions owed to its lender. A judge has ordered a sheriff's sale of the former Temple Live venue on May 6th as part of a foreclosure filed by Partners Bank, which says the owner defaulted on a $4.3 million loan. The building has been closed since last year after Temple Live shut down multiple venues nationwide amid financial struggles following the pandemic. proceeds from the sale will go toward back taxes and the outstanding loan while an existing office tenant will be allowed to remain under its current lease. Textron Aviation is marking a milestone in Wichita landing its first military order for the Cessna Sky Courier. The Belgian military is buying five of the twin-engine turboprops to support special operations with deliveries expected to start next year after military modifications in Europe. Leaders say the Sky Courier's ability to operate from short, rugged runways make it a strong fit for missions like troop transport, medical evacuation, and crisis response. And a former Yahoo executive and... tech entrepreneur is set to headline this year's Ad Astra Tech Summit in Wichita. Salim Ismail, an innovation strategist and co-author of exponential organizations, will be the feature speaker when the event returns to Wichita State's Woolsey Hall on June 4th. Organizers say the one-day summit will focus on how AI and emerging technologies like robotics and biotech are reshaping workplaces and long-term business strategies. The conference has drawn hundreds in past years. follows high-profile appearances by Apple co-founder Steve Wozniak and Bill Nye, the science guy. Local breaking business news every day on KNSS and at Wichita Business Journal.com. For the Wichita Business Journal, I'm Kirk Semenoff. Well, the first story you had there about the Scottish Rite, Temple, I mean, that's a treasured building in downtown Wichita. There is nothing else like it, but man, that thing has got to be expensive to keep running. It's an old building.

It is more than 100 years old, I'm almost sure. Yeah, and it's, boy, it's been a lot of things over the years. But, yeah, that's, I would think, yeah, that would be a heck of a thing to keep up with. Much like the renovations of the orpheum going on right now, I would think doing something with Scottish Rite is probably on the horizon if anybody wants to take that on. Yeah, I hope it doesn't sit there neglected. That's the thing is that once that happens, then it starts to turn into a problem. But man, I mean, it's got a great theater in there. And, of course, that great huge space on the first floor with that massive wooden staircase and the red carpet. I mean, that's just a great room. And there's nothing else like it in this city. It could turn into apartments like everything else in downtown right now. Or we could do that, yeah. I'm kidding. That would be a tough renovation. That certainly would be. All right, yeah, well, let's hope something, I hope that building can be preserved in some form going ahead in the 21st century. Hey, Kirk, we appreciate it. Great stuff, as always, and we'll talk to you again next hour with another local business update from the Wichita Business Journal. Hey, we're coming up in the 8 o'clock hour. And that does include entertainment news in the blur. We do have a movie anniversary, a Hollywood death anniversary, and we'll see what happened at the box office this weekend. It'll be a good segment at 835 this morning. Plus, our buddy Jonathan Savage will be live from London. Bring us the latest on, after 21 hours of talks, there's still no agreement between the U.S. and Iran, even though the vice president was there leading the discussions. We'll get the latest live from London with Jonathan Savage from Fox News Radio. Very good. 756 here with Woodward and Witt on 987 and 1330, KNSSS.

Ted Woodward and John Whitmire. This is Woodward and Witton on 987 and 1330 KNSS, Wichita's number one talk. Good morning. It is 8 o'clock here on this Monday, April 13th, with Woodward and Witt. We'll be telling you about an override of a veto from Kansas Governor Laura Kelly. I'm Rodney Price. It was a violent weekend in Wichita with several shootings reported. The details are just ahead. Currently in Wichita, we have a gusty wind out of the south, the cloudy sky. It is 70 degrees here on this Monday morning. Wichita Police are investigating multiple shootings during the weekend, including one that left one person dead. A 37-year-old man is dead and a 54-year-old man is in serious but stable condition after the two were shot early Saturday in the 6,300 block of West Kellogg. Less than an hour later, a 31-year-old woman was left in critical but stable condition after being shot in the 500 block of North Names. Three others were hurt in a fight that preceded the shooting. A third shooting Saturday afternoon in the 2,500 block of East 25th Street left three people in critical condition. Police are investigating if this incident was connected to either of the previous shootings. Finally, a crash-in shooting early Sunday morning at 13th of Mosley left a 42-year-old man critically hurt. A 21-year-old man was taken into custody. Rodney Price, KNS News. Kansas lawmakers in the House and Senate voted to override one of Governor Laura Kelly's budget vetoes advancing a provision that would give legislators a 4.4% pay raise. Kelly vetoed 31 provisions in the state budget bill. One of them included the 4.4% increase for lawmakers. which Kelly criticized while pointing to a 93% pay increase, legislators received two years ago. The same budget provision includes a 1% raise for other state employees. Kelly had proposed a 2.5% raise for those workers instead. A man has been sentenced to more than 22 years in prison. This in connection with a shooting from four years ago. 28-year-old Diego Brissino was arrested in 2022 on charges of aggravated battery, reckless bodily harm with a deadly weapon, and criminal possession of a firearm by a felon. After a Dillon's parking lot shooting that took place on February 10th of 2022 near 21st in May's Road, Wichita Police responded and found an 18-year-old male, Inman Foy, with a gunshot wound. Foy directed them to another victim, a 21-year-old man who was also in the parking lot and had multiple gunshot wounds. Foy was taken to the hospital and booked into jail upon his release. He was released from jail later after posting bail, Wichita Police located Brasino as another suspect in the case. Bill Hildebrand, KNSSS News.

The Kansas legislature, voting to override Governor Kelly's veto of a bill, aiming to protect free speech on college campuses, honoring the legacy of slain conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Wichita Eagle Opinion Editor Dionne Kelly Loeffler joined KNSS Radio's John Whitmire for a discussion. That's the nature of free speech, and I think you have to defend free speech, even the speech that you find offensive. Oh, yeah, and I do, but... Well, apparently not. You're wanting to limit this to speech that you agree with. Well, no, I'm trying to limit this to, I'm trying to limit this by time, place, and manner. But that's limiting it to speech that you agree with. That's point, counterpoint, biweekly Friday mornings here on KNSS. A striking clash between the White House and the Vatican, as President Trump criticizes Pope Leo the 14th this weekend. In social media posts and remarks to reporters, the president said he's not a fan of the U.S.-born pontiff. He's a very liberal person, and he's a man that doesn't believe in stopping crime. He's a man that doesn't think that we should be toying with a country that wants a nuclear weapon so they can blow up the world. The president's comments come after the Pope warn that a delusion of omnipotence is fueling the conflict involving Iran. Remarks widely interpreted as aimed at U.S. leadership. The president pushed back saying he wants a Pope focused on faith, not politics, and criticizing Leo's stance on global conflicts. Ted Lindner, Fox News. We'll take a look at a busy week ahead. And... Something that's now been around with us in our lives for 50 years. Take a look at that. And, of course, get our weather forecast.

As of this past weekend, the Apple Computer, now a half-century old. 50 years ago, on April 11, 1976, computing enthusiast Steve Wozniak, a new business partner, Steve Jobs, debuted to the Homebrew Computer Club in Palo Alto, California, the Apple One Computer. According to the Henry Ford Museum, the two steves produced 50 of them, and all they were were motherboards. People buying them needed to buy or build cases and get keyboards and monitors. The Apple One allowed for them to perform computing functions at home that would usually require large commercial mainframes at a retail price of less than $700. About a year later, Apple would unveil the more advanced Apple II and even took existing customers Apple I's back as a trade-in. Eben Brown, Fox News. Well, we're still waiting for some kind of an agreement between Iran and the United States. We've had back and forth negotiations, and after 21 hours of discussion, still no agreement between the two countries with us now to bring us the latest from London is Fox News, is Jonathan Savage. Jonathan, what's the latest from the region? Yes, stalemate is the best way to describe how things went over the weekend. The talks lasted a very long time, 21 hours in fact, from Saturday into the early hours of Sunday in Islamabad, Pakistan. The US delegation led by Vice President JD Vance, along with Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, and for the Iranians, their foreign minister and the powerful parliamentary speaker leading their delegation. Now, clearly, they have had substantive discussions. That's what Vice President JD Vance said was the good news, but the bad news was no agreement. So both sides left and immediately blamed each other for failing to make the breakthrough. Now, if the door is not closed, the two sides say that they are willing to talk again, but it would likely require some sort of change in position from the other. Now, in order to try to, I suppose, coerce Iran into changing position, the US military is starting a blockade. in the Persian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, locating all Iranian ports. That is intended to put the squeeze on the Iranian economy and the Iranian decision makers too. Is the vice president still in the region, Jonathan? I mean, so the potential for talks to resume is still there, correct? Yeah, and even if he was to leave the region, he would be, no doubt, able to hop on a plane pretty quickly and head to wherever he needed to go to. And no doubt, Pakistan is still very willing to host these discussions as they did. And this is something which all sides are prepared for because they know that... this will have to end one way or another with some kind of negotiated settlement. And the point for the US right now is to try and put Iran in as weak a position as it possibly can do. Because the differences remain very clear. Iran's nuclear program, their support of Hezbollah, Hamas and the Houthi rebels. And then on the Iranian side, they want recognition of their control of the Strait of Hormuz and they want compensation for the damage done to their country.

Well, that's not going to happen. The president was critical over the weekend of NATO's support for particularly the blockade. What has been the response in London? What's been the response among the NATO countries? Are they going to help with the blockade? Are they being supportive at all? Or has this been a U.S. going at alone, basically? The position of European countries and other NATO countries is that they're willing to help with the Strait of Hormuz, but only after the fighting ends. I think that the U.S. does not believe that that is an appropriate position, and they would like some help a little bit sooner. But British Prime Minister, Keir Starmer, today, saying that whatever the pressure, the UK will not be dragged into the Iran war, and it will not either be involved in the blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. Prime Minister Keir Starmer saying that while the UK is facing pressure to join the war, it would not do so unless there was, in his words, a clear lawful basis and a clear thought-through plan. Prime Minister Keir Starmer has made it obviously. He doesn't think that either is in place right now. Well, and the ceasefire is holding, correct? Yeah, that's right. The ceasefire is holding in terms of the U.S. is not attacking Iran. Neither is Israel, and Iran is not attacking Israel or its Gulf neighbors just now. It started about a week ago, and it's got about a week and a day to run. So at least that's a step in the right direction. For now, it's as a matter of how long it'll hold. Well, Jonathan, we appreciate you joining us this morning and bringing us the latest from London. That's Jonathan Savage with Fox News Radio. Great stuff, as always, to check in with him from overseas live. It is 814 here at 987 and 1330, KNSS. Traffic in the Wichita area right now does appear to still be fairly heavy out there. However, I'm just not really seeing any big slowdowns on the highways here in the Wichita area. Definitely good news there. We do have a couple of areas where you want to watch out for a stalled-out vehicle, one of them southbound. i-135 right around meridian in south wichita and the other one is i 235 northbound and this would be just a little ways west of broadway traffic update from 987 and 1330 knss in the accident recovery team traffic center i'm jad chambers and a look at our weather forecast here on this monday storm team 12 meteorologist jake dunn Partly cloudy, windy and very warm today, a high of 88, south winds 20 to 30 and gusty, breezy and mild tonight, overnight low 65. Partly cloudy continued very warm on Tuesday, high 87. There is a chance of storms, especially east of the turnpike on Tuesday afternoon. Partly cloudy, a little cooler on Wednesday, high 80. That's your forecast from Storm Team 12. I'm meteorologist Jake Dunn. Currently in Wichita.

We do have a wind out of the south, gusting up to 25 miles per hour. Cloudy sky, it is 69 degrees. Here on this Monday at Wichita on Severe Weather Station, 98, 7 and 1330, KNSS. Yeah, we're barely into the day, and it's already 70 degrees, pretty much. Yeah. It's going to be toasty today. It'll be a warm one, especially for middle of April. I know. 88's high, not what you'd expect for April. 13th. Yeah, yeah, a little early. And, yeah, and it's going to be a home week coming up for the Wichita Wind Surge downtown. So nice, it's nice that it's not 39 degrees for some of these baseball games. Good time to get out to a ballgame still. It is 816 here with Woodward and Witt. You know, if your teenager loves video games but really isn't into engineering or coding, there might be a new career path working at the airport. Oh, okay. The Federal Aviation Administration and the Department of Transportation are targeting a new generation of air traffic controllers, video gamers. Hmm. If you haven't heard, there is a big understaffing of air traffic controls. That is true. Many reasons for that. Well, the FAA has now opened up a new round of applications. The latest campaign is targeting young adults who love video games to become our next generation of air traffic controllers. You know, Chad and I both love video games. I think for you to say young people, you're exempting the two of us, not only young people, but us. Us seasoned people like video games, too. And they, you know, you get paid training, you get government benefits, average pay exceeding $155,000 after three years of service. Oh, that's like that. See, that's motivation for you. That right there, that damn there is good cabbage. Yeah. You just don't want to make any mistakes. Well, that's true, yeah. It's a high-stress job. Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy says it's focusing on gaming, taps into a growing demographic of young adults who have many of the hard skills it takes to be a successful controller. That doesn't exhaust. You know, it's not like playing Xbox, but the government is trying to modernize the system. These gamers at home have something that's much more sophisticated than the technology that we're using in our control towers. That's scary to think about a little bit. Yeah, I remember watching an interview with Secretary Duffy, and he was talking about some of the technology in some of these towers is still 1980s. Yeah, technology, which is sad. Did somebody say that they're still using floppy disks and stuff like that? Yeah. That makes me, that really gives me confidence. Floppy disks. Some of the things you need, thinking quickly, staying focused, managing complexities. We'll translate well. I'm out. You have to be a U.S. citizen. You have to be fluent in English. You have to be under the age of 31 for all this stuff to. It's hard to take effect. Well, I was out with, you know, thinking fluently. I was done with your first criteria, let alone the age.

That could be your next generation of air traffic controllers. Could be. Up in the tower. It is 819 here with Woodward and Witt. Let's see what's going on in sports. Had a big weekend for Shocker baseball on the road against the top team in the conference, UAB. Shockers lost on Friday. But then they won on Saturday and looking to take the series yesterday. Mike Robert F. Kennedy Jr. had the call of the game for the shocks yesterday on 975 and 1240, KFH. Gander stepped out. He's back in the box. Two-two pitch. And he golfs it in the air to center. It's going to carry a little bit, carrying a lot. Hall back to the track, and it's gone. He started back, kind of hesitated, kept going back, reached up, and it landed on the other side of the fence. And that's certainly, to some degree, a wind-blown fly ball. But it becomes Nolan Gander's first home run of the year. And Wichita State leads three to nothing here in the third. And then Gander hit another home run later in the game. Two-harm run day for a guy that didn't have one all season long, Nolan Gander. And the shockers go on to beat UAB, 10 to 2, taking two out of three in the series on the road against the top team in the conference. And the shocker leadoff hitter, left-fielder Jacob Gutierrez, had three more hits. He's now batting 419 on the season. Shocks, taking two out of three. Now tied for third place in the conference, just a game out of first place with that win yesterday. Good stuff. Minor League Baseball, the Wichita Wind Surge, winning on the road in Little Rock yesterday, 5 to 3 in 11 innings, and that is a split of that six-game series, first road series of the season for the wind surges. Shortstop, Ben Ross now has a nine-game hitting streak. He is hit in all nine games. He's batting 444 on the season. Back-to-back wins for the surge, and Wichita is a day off today, Travel Day, coming back home for a week at home. Major League Baseball, the Chicago White Sox and the Kansas City Royals at Kauffman Stadium yesterday. And, yeah, the Royals trying to take three out of four against the bottom team in the big leagues. The White Sox, the action yesterday on KFH. The Royals and their fans waited out a three-hour rain delay Sunday. It was a back-and-forth game that wound up with a White Sox gaining a split in this four-game series with a 6-5 victory. Down 2-0 in the 3rd, KC scored 3, thanks to four consecutive walks and an infield hit. Royals took a 3-2 lead. Casey fell behind 4-3 in the 4th but scored two more runs on RBA hits by Isaac Susan Collins and Bobby Wood Jr. to go up 5-4. But Chicago tied it in the 6th, went ahead 6-5 in the 7th and they won the game. We're on tomorrow at 5 on the Royals Baseball Network.

Yeah, and be thankful that you listened to the Royals on the radio because they were wearing the hideous city uniforms. Yeah, which just make them look like trash. What is up with the purple and the helmet that's half blue, half purple? I don't get that. You know, you're in trouble. When you're playing the White Sox, and it's the White Sox that have the better uniforms. Well, and the White Sox are last in the league, too. I saw that. I'm thinking, hey, we can finally win a series. Maybe not. Those awful uniforms. But let's go ahead and build them a new stadium. That's what they want. You don't always get what you want. The Masters wrapping up yesterday, Wichita's Sam Stevens. finished in style, four under in his final 12 holes in his first time ever at the Masters, and boy, what a weekend. Two under par 70 on Saturday, then he duplicated it again on Sunday. By that, Sam Stevens finishes in 24th place at the Masters at two under par. He gets $182,000 for doing something. College women's tennis, KU, ranked number 39 in the nation, a 4-0 sweep on the road at K-State. KU women's tennis team finishing up the regular season 13 and 9, and they're ranked in the top 40 in the nation. And college basketball exits from the state of Kansas. The high-scoring PJ Haggerty is leaving K-State. That's what he does. He goes and stays one year, and then he leaves. Now he's going to Texas A&M, where they're going to pay him $4 million. This will be P.J. Haggerty's fifth team in five years. So he goes one place, stays for a year, gets paid, and then goes somewhere else. Leaving K. State. And KU. Center, Lori Bedunga, the Big 12 defensive player of the year, leaving KU, transferring to Louisville, where they are going to pay him $5 million for one year of basketball. which means that he'll be making him out twice as what he would do if he were going to the NBA.

Wichita's number one talk. This is Woodward and Witt on 987 and 1330 KNSSS. Good morning. It is 833. Ted Woodward and John Whitmire with you on this Monday, April 13th. Currently in Wichita, it is cloudy. We have a gusty wind out of the south. It is 70 degrees here on this Monday morning. One person died after a crash in northeast Wichita. That happened late yesterday afternoon. It was near 24th Street North and 143rd East. Kansas Attorney General Chris Kobach is clarifying a new immigrant enforcement law set to take effect after lawmakers overrode Governor Kelly's veto of the measure. The law creates a 25-foot buffer zone around law enforcement officers while they perform their duties. Kobach said the law also protects local agencies when they detain people who are in the country illegally during other criminal investigations. Kobach said the measure does not turn local agencies into federal immigration task forces or require targeted immigration enforcement. What it does is it allows them to quickly determine using ICE databases if the person really is in the country illegally. it allows them to transfer that individual immediately to ice custody for deportation. Critics argue the law is government overreach and interferes with local control. Phil Hildebrand, KNSSS News. The veto session of this year's Kansas legislature has come to a close. He finished up in the wee hours on Saturday morning. Senate President Ty Masterson of Andover says this legislature set a new record. It was another good one. We did set a brand new record. I think in total it was 35 overrides. Wow. 30 completed. 35. 20 or straight up policy items and then 15 over budget line items. Making our elections have more integrity with immigration and public safety and school freedom and all that. We had to override vetoes to get any of that. Senator Masterson was a guest last evening on the John Whitmire show here on KNSS. It's a really dangerous time of year to run into an alligator. It's alligator mating season when female gators get aggressive. Brandon Fisher, a Florida's Gatorland attraction. Typically, you know, it lasts for about a month and a half, two months maybe, and then the females are going to build their nest, lay their eggs. It takes 60 to 65 days for those eggs to hatch out. So typically baby gators hatch out beginning September. Gators are entrenched across the southeastern U.S. Wildlife officials say avoid encounters by staying away from lakes and ponds. If you come across a gator, don't provoke it. Make some noise and back away. If you're walking your dog, make sure the pooch is on a leash and near you. Savannah Bone of Gatorland tells Fox TV affiliate WOFL Orlando.

Don't underestimate gators. I hear people all the time laughing about. Oh, alligators aren't that smart. Blah, blah, blah, blah. Right? Well, guess who's the one that's getting taken? Not the alligators, the humans. Take pause till NATO Fox News. It's 850 with Ted Woodward and John Whitmire on 98, 7 and 1330 KNSSS. Coming up our Wichita Business Journal update with Kirk Seminoff.

Eric Swalwell drops governor bid amidst misconduct allegations. faces growing bipartisan calls for his resignation from Congress. President Trump orders naval blockade of Iran after 21-hour talks collapse in Islamabad. That's three big things with Woodward Witt 987 and 1330K NSS. Let's take a look at traffic, Jan, how things look at. better right now. We're actually seeing significantly less traffic here on the Wichita Roadways, and so things are moving along quite a bit better out there. The only real exception to that is if you're trying to exit off of southbound I-235 or northbound I are southbound I-135 or northbound I-2-35 over on the eastbound K-96. where that ramp gets really narrow in the road construction. It appears to be the only real area of very slow-moving traffic right now. Traffic update from 987 and 1330KNSS and the accident recovery team traffic center. I'm Jed Chambers. Partly cloudy, windy, and very warm today with a high of 88 degrees. This evening, partly cloudy, breezy, and mild, and a low of 65 degrees. Tomorrow, partly cloudy, windy, and a chance of storms after three, the high of 87 degrees. Right now in Wichita, it's 70 degrees and cloudy at Wichitae-Severe Weather Station, 987 and 1330, KNSSS. And, of course, right after us is the Glenn Beck program for two hours from 9 to 11 every morning. One of the topics today on the Glenn Beck program, no public celebration in New York City for America's 250th birthday. That's one of the things they might be talking about on the Glenn Beck program today here on KNSS right after Woodward and Witt. And the stock market is open for the day for the first time since last Friday. Everything's down. NASDAQ and S&P just very slightly, but the Dow is down more than a half percent already on the day. So the Dow is struggling a little bit here as we get going on the week. on the stock market. It is 852 here with Woodward and Witt on this Monday morning. Let's get a local business update. See what's going on with editor Kirk Seminoff. He's from the Wichita Business Journal. Hello, Kirk.

Hello, Ted. Techron Aviation is marking a milestone in the city landing its first military order for the Cessna Sky Courier. The Belgian military is buying five of the twin-engine turbo props to support special operations, with the deliveries expected to start next year after military modifications in Europe.

The historic Scottish Rite Center in downtown, Wichita is headed for auction after its owner failed to pay millions owed to its lender.
