Spanish Joy as Wichita bakes

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 here on this Monday, July 20th, here on KNSS. We'll be telling you about a shooting in North Wichita. I'm Rodney Price. The trial for a former Sedgwick County detective will proceed. That story is just ahead. Currently in Wichita, we have a sunny sky. Temperature 77. Here on this Monday, July 20th. The fighting between the United States and Iran continues as the U.S. works towards... degrading Iranian military capabilities. The U.S. launching a ninth straight night of attacks on Iran as fears of a wider war continue to grow. It comes as another U.S. service member was killed in the line of duty this weekend during a controlled detonation of a downed Iranian drone in northern Iraq. Another soldier was hurt. A separate attack on Friday killed two other U.S. troops in Jim Jordan. A third went missing, but unidentified remains have since been found. President Trump says the U.S.'s latest strikes are to honor the great patriots killed. The U.S. has been targeting everything from IRGC forces to air defense facilities and weapon storage sites, and Tehran is responding with attacks in Jim Jordan, Iraq, and Arab Gulf states. And that's Foxes, Mary Ann Rappertie with that report. One person is in critical condition following a shooting in North Wichita. Police were called to the 2000 block of North Kansas east of the canal route around 1136 last night for calls of a shooting. Officers tell us they found a 20-year-old man with a gunshot wound, adding that he was... He was the one who called in the shooting. They add that he was taken to the hospital with critical non-threatening injuries. Police say the victim is not cooperating with their investigation. So investigators are looking to talk with neighbors as they gather evidence and look into what led to the shooting. The criminal case against a former Sedgwick County detective is moving forward. A judge heard a preliminary hearing Friday to determine if there was significant evidence against former detective Sean Linda McMahon. Linda McMahon was charged last July for two counts of making false statements and one count of interference with law enforcement. He was assigned to the Internet Crimes Against Children's Section within the Exploited and Missing Children's Unit. A review by the Sheriff's Office revealed in proper case closures and a failure to thoroughly investigate criminal complaints between 2019 and 2024. The hearing will take place on August 13th. Rodney Price, KNS News. U.S. Senator from Kansas, Dr. Roger Marshall, reflects on the recent passing at age 71 of Senator Lindsey Graham from South Carolina. Lindsay was a dear, dear friend.

One of my besties up there. Our desk are 10 foot apart. He kept me laughing. Every time I saw him, he made me laugh. Very witty. And the interesting thing about Lindsey Graham is I bet there's 98 other senators who would say they were one of his best friends as well. He had the gift of hospitality. He made everybody feel welcome. We're going to miss him dearly. We get really tight. There's only 53 of us. We have lunch together every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. So I lost a teammate, a friend. Lindsay was a godly man. Sometimes he had a little rough mouth, but he had an encyclopedia knowledge of the Bible. We'll get to see him again someday. Senator Marshall, appearing on the weekly DC Update Fridays on KNS with Woodward and Witt. In a prime time address to the nation last Thursday, President Trump touched on the subject of election integrity and raised some issues on the vulnerability of the nation's election systems. Pat Proctor. who is the Republican candidate for Kansas Secretary of State this fall, talks about his concerns with some of the issues the president brought up. A lot of what he raised was about our voter rolls. You know, I held a hearing last year on our voter rolls, and we found out that there are more people 65 years or older on our voter rolls than there are humans, 65 years older in the state of Kansas. I heard the president loud and clear. I've been working on these issues for a long time, and I think that here in Kansas, we're addressing them. But if we don't fix our courts, all of those mechanisms that I've thought for the last four years as chair of the elections committee are going to go away. Pat Proctor was a guest last evening on the John Whitmire show here on KNSS. A Friday discussion at the Aspen Security Forum focused on technology and innovation. Fox's Kevin Yuretsky has the details in this Securing America segment. Louisiana Republican Senator Bill Cassidy said the only way technology contributes to our national security is if we have an industrial base by which to translate that innovation into products which can actually benefit our national security. He also said how we make products has to change. If you're manufacturing your critical minerals and your supply chains are controlled by Beijing, you are not secure. Texas Republican Senator John Cornyn agreed. We have a natural disaster or heaven forbid a military conflict. Our goose is cooked, not only economically, but from a national security perspective. Both stress the importance of data centers to handle new technology. Kevin Ureskes, Fox News. It's the next big change in grocery shopping, perhaps, if consumers go for it. And World Cup fans, well, they were cheering and they were drinking. We'll have that report coming up as well. And as we get a new week started here in the month of July, we will get our weather forecast and find out what's going on from Storm Team 12. Hey, we're glad you're with us. We're off and running here on this Monday morning. It is 606.

Here on 987 and 1330, KNSS. Woodward and Witt on 987 and 1330 KNSS. 609 here on this Monday, July 20th on KNSS. Well, it might be the next big change in grocery shopping. It may not be what you buy, but how you pay for it. Checkout lines could soon become a lot shorter or gone altogether. Retailers across the country are adding smart carts, scan as you shop apps and other technology designed to speed up purchases. Some stores already let shoppers walk out with their groceries, while cameras, sensors, and artificial intelligence automatically charge their accounts. Others use smart carts that scan and total items as customers shop. Retailers say the system save time and reduce long lines, while critics raise concerns about privacy, accuracy, and impact on jobs. Whether shoppers embrace the changes could determine how quickly traditional checkout lines become a thing of the past. Matt Murphy, Fox News. That's an interesting idea. Scan it, put it in the cart. I can see that. Definitely see that happening. Yeah. I can see, I mean, other than maybe. you know, broccoli or something like that. I could see. On the other hand, I can also see people trying to figure it out and be stuck in an aisle trying to scan something. World Cup fans weren't just cheering. They were spending. New estimates show the New York, New Jersey Stadium hosting yesterday's finale, was on track to bring in the most beer revenue of any tournament venue ever. Throughout the World Cup, soccer fans have been excited, nervous about the outcome, showing love for their team. But no matter how they are taking in the game, many are doing it with a beer in hand. In the final, at the New York, New Jersey Stadium, the venue is expected to serve up $16.4 million in beer sales during all eight games played at that stadium, with more than $3 million of that poured just during the last game. According to the Digital Sports Media Company, Better Collective. Equating every pore to a 16-ounce tallboy, the data shows fans at the final game will be drinking at a rate of 230 pints every single minute over a 24-hour window, emptying enough cans to stretch from New York City to Philadelphia, nearly four times. Still, with beer prices starting at $16 each, drinking is expected to rival the Super Bowl. In New York, I'm Eric Sean. Fox News. That's an expensive pint of beer. Hey, well. You got a captive audience. I guess. That's how sporting events work. It is 612 here with Woodward and Witt on this Monday morning, July 20th. And as you get your morning commute underway as we get a new week, Chad Chambers will keep you updated on traffic conditions, Jed.

Right now, traffic conditions in Wichita looking good. Not really seeing any problems on highways out there. Now, we do have stalled out vehicle, and this is in some road construction, so you want to watch out for it. Northbound I-135 north of 21st Street. It's between there and the start of the road construction up there by 29th. So watch out going that direction. Traffic update from 987 and 1330KNSS and the Accident Recovery Team Traffic Center. I'm Chad Chambers. Now, let's take a look at our weather forecast as we begin the week. Here is Storm Team 12 meteorologist Jake Dunn. Good morning, Jake. Good morning, sunny and very hot today. Wichita climbs to 101. First time in the triple digits in almost one year. Factor in the humidity, it feels like 106. South winds 5 to 15, clear in 77 tonight. Sunshine continued very hot on Tuesday, high 102, partly cloudy, not as hot. Wednesday high 94. Small chance of storms on Wednesday night. That's your forecast from Storm Team 12. I'm meteorologist Jake Dunn. Currently in Wichita, we do have a sunny sky here on this Monday morning. Temperature 77. Here at Wichita's severe weather station, 987 and 1330, KNS. As we begin the week, last full week of July, actually. We'll get going on that. And, you know, we take for granted. The space program sometimes. Oh, yeah, sure. It's so easy. It's so commonplace. It has become so commonplace. But when you look back and some of the things we've accomplished, it's kind of amazing. 50 years ago on this day, the Viking one spacecraft made the first ever successful landing on Mars. And here's some of that coverage from ABC News 50 years ago on this day. For the first time, Earth has received pictures, good pictures, of Mars taken from ground level. An incredibly complex unmanned American mission, 11 months and 240 million miles old, has done just what it was planned to do. ABC's Jules Bergman report from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena. Mission control is Viking 1 touchdown on Mars.

Camera one zone. We're looking good. And so did the very first picture from Mars 240 million miles away. Viking 1, after its 11 months in space, still worked perfectly, showing us the rocky field where it had landed directly below the camera. Moving left, we see many more small rocks up to 6 inches in size. Incredibly, Viking 1 had performed a three-point landing, narrowly missing large boulders, which could have destroyed or toppled the fragile spacecraft. Skill declared one scientist. Pure luck, said another. Tomorrow, the first color pictures from Viking One. And the first science, temperature, winds, and atmospheric pressure as well as content. Viking One, an enormous triumph for the U.S. space program. How about that? That was 50 years ago today. We landed on Mars, and then we got those color photographs, and we realized. It kind of looks like Oklahoma. Yeah. It's a bunch of red rocks. And to think, at some point here in the future, Voyager will come back and, you know, and the enterprise will merge with it. So, yeah, it was a little space history for you there 50 years ago. I assumed this story was taking place in Florida, but no, it's a man in Kansas City. He had to be rescued after he got stuck inside a portable toilet. Oh. He told rescuers that he was trying to retrieve something he had dropped inside. Oh, why? Knocked again, the man inside said he was not going to get out. They looked inside and didn't see anybody. The lid was closed. No one was in the restroom. It kind of startled them. All of a sudden, a head popped out of the toilet, and he said, I'm in here. He told them he was retrieving a Mountain Mike DeWine bottle that he dropped in from the night before. After it was cut open, the man was able to exit the toilet. Fire department did hook up water to their truck and gave him a free shower. A mountain Mike DeWine. What was in the mountain Mike DeWine bottle? That he dropped in there the night before. I think this man has a history of poor decision making. Why? Oh, I don't care. Wow. Drop the bottle in. Went back to retrieve it later, got stuck, and had to be cut out. Wow. And that was in Kansas City. All I can think is that that bottle just had so many drugs in it. Oh my. Yeah. Yeah. There's something. Whatever it was, it must have been really valuable to climb down into a...

Uh-huh. Yeah. That's the latest in Kansas City. Yeah. It is 617 here with Woodward and Witt. Let's see what's going on in sports. And the World Cup has finished up. It's run in North America as host of the World Cup this time around. The big finale yesterday was Spain and Argentina. It was a high-scoring affair. Well, I'm not being facetious. There was only one goal scored, and it came in extra time. Yeah, it was zero-zero, heading into extra time. Extra, extra time. And, you know, if there's only one goal scored, you better savor it on Telemundo. the purpose of this? Because there's only one goal scored. You gotta go nuts. Shut up already. Oh, he has a big finish. No. Seriously? Oh. Oh, yeah. One goal. I mean, you waited three hours. They score one point. Spain wins it. One zero. Hey, half the time, I watched like the last half an hour of this thing. Somebody bumped into somebody. A guy falls down, acts like I got hit by a truck. I mean, this is a bunch of sissies. I mean, come on. You know, you want to get fouled. Go play in the NFL. I'll show you what a foul looks like. This is... I'm so glad this thing's over. Ask any of those NFL guys to play for an entire game without stopping every 25 seconds. Whatever. It would never happen. Whatever. They wouldn't make it to half time. Oh, a stiff breeze hit me. I'm going to fall over and act like I'm hurt. I'm so glad this is over. Spain won, Argentina, defending champs. Go down. Spain is your World Cup champion. And we'll reconvene in four years and do it again. Minor League Baseball, the Wichita Wind Surge. Had a great weekend in Little Rock, winning all three games. Sweeping the Arkansas Travelers in three games, 12 to 7 was the final score yesterday. Hey, that's four wins in a row for the Wind Surge. Travel Day today to come back home. A week at home starting tomorrow downtown. Not so good news for the Kansas City Royals yesterday afternoon going for a sweep over the San Diego Padres at Kauffman Stadium. That did not happen. You did hear the game on 97-5 and 1240 KFH. After the Royals won the first two games against the Padres securing a series win, San Diego batters took out their frustrations on KC pitching on Sunday, and by the end the Padres had a 19 to 2 win to salvage the final game. 19 runs on 19 hits for the visitors, including... Two more home runs by Royals' nemesis Ty France. He had a grand slam in the eighth inning. And in the ninth, a solo shot off position player Tyler Tolbert, Jack Hagg Leone homered for the Royals. We're on tonight, beginning at 6 on the Royals Baseball Network. And that's over on 975 and 1240, KFH. But, yeah, so you've got the Royals and the San Francisco Giants in that matchup started tonight.

And it's time for a July basketball, yeah. Again, the TBT, the annual affair is going to be here in Wichita. Of course, the Aftershocks, Wichita State Alums, won the whole thing last year, got that $10 billion prize. And so they're back to defend their titles starting tonight, taking on alums from New Mexico, the Aftershocks. In the TBT, they've changed the format a little bit. It's a best of three in the opening round between these two teams. So game one is tonight 8 p.m. tip at Coke Arena for the TBT. Are they favored? I mean, what's their, do they do favors in this thing? Is there a favor? Well, I mean, who knows? But you would have to. They are considered a favorite, I would imagine, as the defending champs. How many of their players are coming back? A lot of guys back are that same roster. Good, good. And, you know, they always get great crowd. Yes. That's part of the deal with TVT. These teams that usually draw these good attendance. And, of course, seem to play very well on their own board. You'll be there, right? I'll be there tonight doing play by and I'll be there tonight doing public address. Good, good. Yeah. Folks need to come out and see you. Looking forward to that. Got the TBT revving up starting tonight at Coke Arena. That is Sports with Woodward and Witt. And sports is brought to you by Wichita Brewing Company, celebrating 15 years of pizza and beer made here. Hey, mark your calendars for the celebration on Saturday, August 1st, at WBC West, back where it all began. With live music, indoors, three new anniversary beers and prizes and giveaways throughout the day. That's coming up on August 1st. WBC, cheers to 15 years. It is 623 here with Woodward and Witt. Traffic and weather is next. And should you still work out when you're injured or take it easy? More on that on A Better Life with Dr. Sanjay Gupta. Next on KNSS. This morning. It is 632. It is Monday with Ted Woodward and John Whitmire with you here on July 20th. Currently in Wichita, we do have a sunny sky. Temperature 77. President Trump's borders are Tom Homan says there will be some video documentation of federal immigration agent's actions moving forward. Holman said on Fox and Friends Sunday, ICE will require that during enforcement at least one agent will wear a body camera that will be recording. They exonerate more law enforcement than they convict. And I want officers wear body cameras because I want the American people see what the officers saw. Yeah. when they took that action. The comment came less than a week after two men in two states were shot and killed during vehicle stops. As for those stops, Holman said they will resume following President Trump on social media insisting that they do. Grinnell Scott, Fox News.

A Sedgwick County man is sentenced to 12 months of probation for insurance fraud. 64-year-old Lance Given pleaded no contest to two misdemeanor counts of fraudulent insurance acts. Officials say that Given gave false information about the location and the circumstances of an accident in order to gain coverage for damages to his vehicle that otherwise would not have been covered by his policy. Along with the 12 months of probation, Givens will... Face 20 days of prison time if his probation is violated. He must pay a $500 fine for each count. Tyrus is a comedian and Fox News contributor. He says voters need to focus on local candidates and elections first before turning their attentions to national politics. When they vote, they don't really think that their decisions they're voting for necessarily affect them, but you should be more focused on voting in your area and your district. than worrying about what's happening on the grand stage, because it's the people that you send to fight for you. If they can't even have a conversation with you, that to me is a big red flag. Tyrus was a guest last evening on the John Whitmire show here on KNSS. The Kansas State Fire Marshal's Office gave an update on the 26 fireworks season. Healthcare providers reported 156 fireworks-related injuries from... June 20th through July 7th. At least 25 people in Kansas were sent to a burn or trauma center, had surgery, or received a higher level of care. This year, 28 children under the age of eight sustained a fireworks-related injury. Tanner Temple is with Americans for Prosperity, Kansas. He says vacancies on the Kansas Supreme Court don't get much publicity. The Kansas Bar does that by design because they don't want us to know it because if we do, they'll see that they're picking another Kansas, our eastern Kansas, Johnson County, individuals. So I've been out here knocking doors in western Kansas. We had the Washington Post actually with us yesterday knocking doors, and they got to hear firsthand of why. People don't think we're very represented out here in Western Kansas because it's the continuation of Johnson County, Shawnee County, Topeka, Lawrence. I mean, that's all these judges come from. Temple appeared on KNSS with Woodward and Witt. From the Kansas Department of Transportation, construction, starting today, the westbound lanes of Highway K-96 between 127th Street East and 13th Street North will have a single lane closure with an 11-foot-width restriction in effect. So what's coming up this week? Monday, there's another round of bilateral talks between the U.S. and Mexico over trade. Our southern neighbors are expected to ask for an end to tariffs on cars, steel, and aluminum during negotiations. Tuesday is when the Republicans in South Carolina can start filing their candidacy for the special primary to fill the vacancy left by Senator Lindsey Graham and his sudden passing for the November midterm election.

Thursday, the LA Dodgers will head to the White House to continue celebrating their 2025 World Series championship win. Friday, it's take two for the White House Correspondents Association dinner. The first one back in April was interrupted after gunshots were fired near the main screening area, prompting evacuations, including the President and First Lady. Also, the latest installment of the Spider-Man franchise, Spider-Man Brand New Day, hits theaters starring Tom Holland and Zendaya. And that's a look at your week ahead. I'm Tom Graham. Fox News. South Florida crews are conducting aerial mosquito spraying as a blooming mosquito population. Last month, Hillsborough County found 142 mosquitoes in one of its South Tampa traps. But when they checked that same trap Tuesday... There were 18,000. The reason why is our drought. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in the soil. But they need water to kickstart their life cycle, to go from eggs to flying adults. Compare that 18,000 to the normal average of about 4,000 to 6,000 in a trap. All those mosquitoes have since been sent off for disease testing and the county's waiting for the results. In Tampa, Eripplicencia, Fox News. It is 637 here with Woodward and Witt on this Monday, July 20th. Let's take a look at our weather forecast from Storm Team 12 meteorologist Jake Dunn. Good morning, Jake.

July 20th recognizes National Lollipop Day as a way to celebrate the enduring and ever popular treat. Pick your favorite flavor to savor. Ever delightful and sweet, lollipops have satisfied generations of sweet tooth, and it's possible they've been doing it for centuries. No one is even sure how lollipops, how old they are. During prehistoric times, a form of lollipops may have preserved nuts and berries in honey. As sugar became plentiful, lollipops appeared much later in the 16th century in Europe. In the United States, confectionaries and medicine shops, as early as the 1860s sold lollipops in various forms. However, George Smith gave this sweet treat an unofficial 20th century story in 1908. He earns credit for inventing the modern style lollipop. In 1931, he trademarked the name, which he claims came from his favorite racing horse, lolly pops. Lollipops range in size from little candies purchased in bagfuls to banks and barbershops and vendors gave away at parades.

Specialty candy shops made giant lollipops, a variety of colors, shapes, and sizes. While they are attractive, lollipops can be cumbersome and often more than we can handle. So my question for you, Tom, do you like a good lollipop? Well, I don't know if it falls underneath that classification, but I used to love tootsie roll pops. Yes. Yes. Yes. And, of course, that would then beg the question is, how many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsie roll pop? I never learned how to count that far. It's a good ad campaign, though. You're still quoting it 50 years later. Yes, exactly. I mean, how many, one, a three. I mean, we all know that ad. And, of course, I was always the kid that, you know, bit into them in order to get to the center of a tutsy roll pop. So, well, there you go, Tom. Get yourself a lollipop today. And, of course, you have to buy one for the misses, too, while you're at it. We'll do. All right. Enjoy yourself a lollipop on National Lollipop Day. Tom Kelly Loeffler of Kelly Loeffler Commodities Every Day, right here with Woodward and Witt on KNSS. It is 643. We're going to take a look back. Long, long time ago, Friday last week. See if we can remember what happened on the stock market. I don't remember what happened. I don't either. That's why we have that segment right there. We'll remember what happened. Of course, we're done with the World Cup, so we'll get a little report there on the big finale. And a kitty cat that is a real-life cat burglar. The NSS News Time is 644.

It's 648 with Ted Woodward and John Whitmire on 987 and 1330 KMSS. Now it's time for three big things. Three. Two U.S. service members were killed in an Iranian missile attack on American forces in Jim Jordan as the search continues for a third service member still missing. Two. A planned teen takeover at County Square was prevented after community group. Pure Violence, ICT intervened before the event to take place. Emergency crews successfully pulled a teenager from a 30-foot cistern near Harrington Lake after his pickup truck crashed into the hole.

Let's find out the story about a true cat burglar. Talk about your klepto kitty. We're at 2,562 things since 2019. Connie Brickado guest in of California is the human companion of the very viral cat, Juno, who's known for stealing things. A recent video showed the cat crook dragging home a green safety vest. And soon after, a large stuffed animal. Connie set up a camera on her patio so she can record Juno's antics. Juno's a global star. Ukraine, Japan, the UK, internationally, and she has followed worldwide. Juno's human has tried to return the items, but often that doesn't work. So Connie's given some of Juno's gifts to a local shelter. She's brought me a lot of joy. She has brought me a lot of gifts. She has brought so much stuff home. I don't know what to do with it. Take pause. Jill Nato, Fox News. Take pause. That's an active kitty. Yeah, really. Just bringing whatever in you can find. Hey, we have wrapped up North America hosting World Cup Soccer. The big championship match was yesterday.

Here's a World Soccer Championship Recap. Brought you by Liberty Mutual Insurance, only pay for what you need. It was a star-studded affair to see what could be Messi's final game on the world stage for Argentina. In the end, the stars aligned in Spain's favor. A strong defense and equally strong possession gave La Roja their second world championship. The game went to an extra 30 minutes, but Argentina was forced to play it with 10 men. In the end, a Ferran Torres game winner sealed the match 1-0. I'm Fernando Carlos. And let's go all the way back to last week on Friday, and let's refresh our memories. How did the stock market do? I'm Seth Soutelle, and this is the AP Market Support. A sell-off for AI winners got worse and pulled stock markets lower worldwide. The S&P 500 fell 1% Friday. The index closed out its first losing week in the last three, and only its third since March. The Dow lost 406 points. That's about 8 tenths percent. The NASDAF composite sank 1.4%. Nvidia was the heaviest weight on the market and fell 2.2%. The worries about whether AI stocks have shot too high dragged down Asian markets even more sharply. Oil prices. has jumped again on words about the war with Iran. The yield of the 10-year treasury eased to 4.55 percent. Setzito, New York. It is 652 here with Woodward and Witt. You know, sometimes we joke about the millennials, but they're here. Sometimes. Yeah. What are the signs that you've made it as a millennial? What are some of the things? Well, I don't know. I mean, I would think you move out of your parents' house. Buying nice matching glass cups instead of random plastic cups. Okay. I guess I'm still in the plastic cup stage. Having plastic hangers that are all the same color. Buying a new couch instead of using a hand-me-down. Okay. Paying a service to trim a large tree instead of doing it yourself. Paying off your student loans or buying a house. Right of passage. Oh, now that would, I would say, yeah, that's, of course, nowadays, it's your median age is 40, so you're barely middle. Having a drink fridge in the garage. You've made it. You've made it? You can get that done. Not having to panic when you have a $500 or $1,000 emergency. Having enough money to cover that. To cover that. Yeah. That goes for all of us, I think. Being able to put your bills on auto pay. Yeah, threshold. I still, I hate doing that. I like to pay myself. Maybe upgrading from a full-sized bed to a king bed. Ah, yeah. Signs that you've made it. I remember the first time we did that, you know, went from the queen to the king. Yeah. That's a nice, that is a nice upgrade. That's very nice. You know, some people swear about the in-and-out burger, how great it is. You know, I don't think, yeah, to this day, I still don't think we've had one. Okay. Yeah, some people just go gaga over it. In-and-out burger used to accept burgers of any size by just adding patties and slices of cheese at an additional cost. Until the year 2004, when some punks ordered burgers with 100 patties and 100 slices of cheese.

So the guys who did it said, we're just idiots. None of us had any background in competitive eating. They just said, hey, you'll make it. Well, since then, management and in and out has banned anything larger than a four by four. Really? That's the biggest you can get. Four patties, four cheese. Wow. But see, I've still yet to have a new way. I still haven't gone down to New Way. You guys keep talking about it. I've still not gone to New Way. Boy, that sounds good. I know. Like a big New Way root bear right now. My wife loves a root bear. I know. You keep telling me I need to go. I will one of these days. It is 655 here with Woodward and Witt.

Wichita Police responded to a domestic disturbance in the northeast part of the city Saturday evening. It began just before 8.20 p.m. in the 3,600 block of North Rushwood Street near 37th and Woodlawn. Sedgwick County dispatch confirmed a weapon was involved in the disturbance. Listeners report helicopters and drones in the area during the incident. Wichita Man was booked into the Sedgwick County Jail on multiple charges, including aggravated assault, domestic battery, and burglary. President Trump of late has been stressing election integrity, including remarks in a nationwide speech. But U.S. Senator from Kansas, Dr. Roger Marshall, says it's been slowgoing in Congress. We cannot get 10 Democrats to vote for voter ID, to vote for proof of citizenship when you register, and then some type of reasonable guardrails around mail-in ballots. So that's what the Save America Act does. And by the way, Kansas does two out of three of those already. You know, we have voter ID, and then on mail-in ballots, we don't do the unsolicited ballots. Senator Marshall appearing on the weekly DC Update Fridays with Woodward and Witt on KNSS. The United Kingdom gets a new leader today. Foxes Jonathan Savage is in London. Andy Burnham will today become the UK's sixth new Prime Minister in the last ten years. Outgoing PM Keir Starmer will travel from 10 Downing Street to Buckingham Palace to tender his resignation to Charles III. A few minutes later, new Labour Party leader Burnham will arrive at the palace to be appointed Prime Minister by the King. What Burnham intends to do in power is still unclear. His policies didn't face the scrutiny of a leadership contest. The British people have been warned, though, that taxes may rise in an attempt to balance the books. In London, Jonathan Savage, Fox News. Today, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., the eastbound lanes of Kellogg are down to a single lane from Highway K-96 to 143rd Street East on the east side of town. It's all part of the East Kellogg Expansion Project.

A Grammy Award-winning recording artist is coming to Wichita next month. The Orphium Theater confirmed Friday that John Legend will perform a grand reopening concert following a nearly one-year $13 million renovation project. It included updates to the main auditorium, main stage, grand balcony, mezzanine, ceilings, walls, and floors. New seats, HVAC, and improved sound and lighting were installed as well. The concert featuring John Legend is scheduled for August 30th. We'll be taking a look at a way to perhaps save some money in higher education. And someone in the Israeli government has a new idea for prison security. Find out about that. And, of course, we'll get our extended weather forecast. We'll be checking in. Get the latest from Storm Team 12 Chief Meteorologist Ross Jansen and see what's going on with the weather this week. It is 704 here at 987 and 1330 KNSS. It's 707 here on this Monday morning, July 20th, here at 987 and 1330 KNSS. As college costs continue to climb, more young Americans are discovering that a six-figure career doesn't always require a four-year degree. Electricians, plumbers, welders, HVAC technicians, and other skilled tradespeople are in high demand across the country, and employers are struggling to fill those jobs. That's helping fuel growing interest in trade schools and apprenticeship programs where students can often begin earning a paycheck while they're still training. Many finish with far less student debt than graduates of traditional four-year colleges. Skill trades can offer competitive pay, steady demand, opportunities to own a business, and clear paths to management or specialized careers. For many students, they're becoming a faster and often less expensive route into the workforce. Chris DeMayo, Fox News. A top member of Israel's government is proposing an unusual prison security measure. Israel's national security minister wants to sharpen security by using... The idea is to station the animals around facilities holding Palestinian prisoners as an added layer of protection. But Israel's Nature and Parks Authority says the plan is not feasible, arguing wild animals can only be kept for educational, research, and public information purposes. The Jerusalem Post, however, reports the Environmental Protection Ministry has classified the Nile crocodile as a cultivated wild animal, potentially opening the door for their use. in prison security. The Nile crocodile is not considered an endangered species. Carmen John Roberts, Fox News. Well, I mean, I've heard of guard dogs. Now we've got guard crocodiles. Certainly would be a deterrent. Yeah. Potential escapees. I guess. Is what idea? 709 here with Woodward and Witt on this Monday, July 20th. Here at KNSS.

Traffic right now in Wichita. Well, the traffic volumes are getting heavier out there, but we still have things moving right along, not seeing any big slowdowns out there. Just remember that we have a stalled out vehicle. Eastbound Kellogg at Woodlawn. So definitely watch out for that. Again, that's eastbound Kellogg right around Woodlawn. And eastbound traffic right there is pretty heavy. Traffic update from 987 and 1330 KNSSS. In the Accident Recovery Team Traffic Center, I'm Chad Chambers. Now let's find out what the weather holds in store for us. It's the extended weather forecast. And here is Storm Team 12, Chief Meteorologist Ross Jansen. Good morning, Ross. Well, good morning to you, guys. Happy Monday to you, Ted and John. We've got ourselves a hot day coming up today and a chance to hit 100 degrees. I know. It's sort of a benchmark that I guess we anticipate every year. There's no trophies handed out or anything like that. So even if we don't get there today, I think we definitely will tomorrow. So both today and Tuesday are contenders for hitting 100 degrees. Sadly, as much as we need some rain right now, that's one of the hardest things to find in the forecast because it's not going to happen today or tomorrow. And we do have ourselves a cold front, which I know in July, it's easy to scoff when we mention a cold front because it doesn't lower the temperatures usually by very much. But this one that's coming in tomorrow, We'll take us from around 100 degrees today and Tuesday and drop us back to about 92 for the high on Wednesday. So there is a little bit of a cool down coming midweek. But unfortunately, when we're talking about the chances for showers and storms, we're not going to get any of that through the first half of the week. I do think there's a possibility we could get some rain in here Thursday night into Friday morning, but it would be fairly scattered. So unfortunately, here for our third full week of July, it doesn't look like a whole lot of rain is headed on. way. We'll call for a high today of 100 degrees. When you add in the humidity, the heat index could be up around 105, so be careful out there again this afternoon. 76 will be our load tonight. We'll be right around 100 degrees tomorrow. There should be a shift in wind happening by late morning or early afternoon on Tuesday. That will be the cold front, but we still... Reach a high right around the century mark, and then Wednesday's high will drop back to 92. Second half of this week, not quite as hot, but we're still looking at quite a few days that will at least be in the mid-90s. And once again, our chance for rain looks like it could be Thursday night or Friday morning, but scattered at best. And a possible upgrade to a tropical storm coming this afternoon. It's right off the coast of Florida. In fact, the center of the system right now is about 100 miles south of Panama City. It's going to get a name Bertha, and it's going to drift to the west over the next couple of days. But probably no direct impact for Florida. It's going to be right along the northern Gulf Coast as it moves along. Not going to become a hurricane, but a tropical storm should be forming this afternoon down in the Gulf. Right now in Wichita, we've got sunshine in 74. That's your Storm Team 12 forecast. I'm chief meteorologist Ross Jansen.

Ross, credit where credit is due, when you and I were alone together, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, you predicted rain and you delivered. So I tip the hat to you. Last week, you said we would have rain, and you delivered on the rain. So I give you credit. It was very... I do appreciate that. And then there's a handful of people out there saying, what rain? It didn't rain in my house. I got it. And, you know, a lot of times people say those darn weather guys, well, I'm giving you credit. You said you would rain. And I did get, we got rain at our house last week. So I give you the credit. You were right. I appreciate that. We did have a storm pop up over my house, too. I think I got a tenth of an inch out of it. And the next day, it was like, hey, what happened to that rain we got yesterday? Poof, gone. Yeah, those farmers growing that corn. That's where they need the rain to pop up. Yeah, with corn, you know, you've got to have some rain and you've got to have a little less heat. Fortunately, we haven't had that hot of a summer yet, but some of the hottest that we've seen so far this summer looks like it's coming up this week. And you hope that you don't stay at 100 degrees for weeks on in, but I do think that fortunately the pattern overall. Yeah, it's going to be rather toasty, but probably not an extended period of 100s coming up anytime soon. Yay, good. All right, Ross. We appreciate it. Have a good day. That is the extended weather forecast. Always good to check in every day with Storm Team 12 Chief Meteorologist Ross Jansen right here with Woodward and Witt on KNSSS. John Whitmire, how was the John Whitmire show last night on KNSSS? We did a couple of candidate interviews, and obviously we played a little clip of it already. We had Tyrus on the show again last night. I was pointing out last night on the show, we're 16, now 15 days from the election. Two weeks from tomorrow. So we are ramping up with all kinds of election talk on the show. So we had two candidates last night. We'll have three, actually, with Pat Proctor's. We had three candidates. We'll do the same thing this coming up this Sunday. Lots of candidates. So we're ramping up. You've got folks. Advanced voting is already underway. And mail-in ballots are already coming back. So folks, you know, make sure you vote. If you don't advance vote, make sure you vote on August 4th. And you, how was Shakespeare? How was the play? I was in Sound of Music this weekend at Guildhall in East Wichita. Sold out every night. Four performances, four sellouts. I know. My wife and I were very disappointed. Not only were they scarce, they just weren't there. We wanted to come see it. And how was it? Oh, it was great. You had fun. I saw the pictures on Facebook. And I keep, Chad, one of these days, I'm going to get him to sing. I really want to hear, I wanted to hear you sing, you know, high on a hill with a lonely goat herd. How about a lady, old lady who? Come on, give it to it. I sang it last night. I know. How about once? Come on right now. Lady, oh, lady, oh, lady. Only for ticket. Yeah, exactly. So what you're saying is, if I bought a ticket right now, you'd do it. How much for tickets? Oh, the show's over. But how much were tickets? Twelve bucks. So if I give you 12 bucks, will you do it for us? Oh, no.

How about if I pay for two tickets right now to the, what was the church? To St. James. If I give a donation right now to St. James, will you sing, lady, oh, lady, oh, lay. Not out of context. Come on. No. I will give $25 to St. James right now if you'll give us a verse. No, it's not happening. 50 bucks. You've got to come see me in person. St. James. I'll do 50 bucks to St. James if you'll give a high on a hill. I can't authorize that. I can't authorize that. Lady, old lady, oh, lady. Why do I need to sing it? You're doing it. I want to hear you do it. Only for ticket holders. Exactly. 50 bucks. St. James to hear you sing high on a hill with a lonely goat herd. No, sir. Oh, you know, this is one of these days. You know what I'm going to have to do, Jed? I'm going to have to go to one of these and record it and then bring it back and play it on the air just so that our listeners can get the dulcet tones of Ted Woodward. Hey, 650 people got to hear it this weekend. I know. I wanted to go. I'm so disappointed. That's okay. Hey, a little bit. We were talking about politics earlier. Yes. You have the primary season and the candidates. You know what happened 10 years ago tonight? The Republican Convention. I know. Phil Ruffin spoke. Really? I've forgotten about that. Of course, the guy that was raised in Wichita, went to North High, Wistaw State. Phil Ruffin. He gave a speech at the 2016 Republican Convention. I'm aware. As a... Trump was being nominated. I was there. You were on the floor? Yes, you didn't know that? I've been a delegate to four of the last five RNCs. I was in Tampa. I was in Cleveland. Yeah, I've been a delegate to, yeah, I was at that convention. So why do I even need to bring it up? You were there for Phil Ruffin's speech. I was there. Apparently they said they were giving him four minutes. Yes. And he went for five and a half. It happens. So he took another 90 seconds. It happened. But yeah. That's still. Kansas, we were off by convention standards. From the podium, we were off the left. And that was actually a great convention. Cleveland wasn't quite as good. And then we had COVID. But Cleveland wasn't as good. Tampa was a great one. I really enjoyed the Tampa one. That was a lot of fun. I took my mom to that one. Oh, there you go. I took mom down to Tampa. She'd always wanted to go to a convention. I was able to take mom with me to Tampa. That was a blast. That's pretty good. Yeah. Yeah, so Phil Ruffin's a big speech at the 2016 Republican convention was 10 years ago on this night. That's right. Wow. And we'll be doing it again next year. Yep, we're coming up with another one. It is 718 here with Woodward and Witt. Now let's take a look at what's going on in sports here on a Monday morning. Of course, we were talking about wrapping up soccer, the World Cup in North America, the big championship game yesterday, Argentina and Spade.

Fox Sports Update, the FIFA World Cup. World Cup final, Spain dominated Argentina but still needed an extra time goal in the 106 minute from Ferrin Torres. Spain wins their second ever World Cup title 1-0 in the final. It was also the seventh shutout of the tournament for Spain. Argentina was attempting to become the first team since Brazil in 1962 to win back-to-back World Cups. Gilliam Mbapé is the tournament's all-time leading goals score. He passed Lino Messi with his two goals. in the crazy 6-4 loss to England in the third place game. Because of it, he captures the Golden Boot, becomes the first player to win the Golden Boot in two World Cups. As for Messi, the star was left in tears after the defeat. It remains to be seen whether this was his final game in an Argentina jersey. I'm Jay Berman. There you go. World Cup wrapping up. We'll do it again in four years. All right, basketball in July. It's become a Wichita tradition now as the 13th annual TBT is getting underway. The basketball tournament. And your defending champions are the Wichita State Alums, the Aftershocks. We've got the $1 million prize last year. This year, the money is doubled. The $2 million prize this year. So a lot of motivation there. The Aftershocks are in action tonight. Now, there's a little bit of a different format this year. Wichita's alums are taking part in an eight-team alumni bracket, and the teams match up in a best of three series in the first round. So you've got the Aftershocks taking on the Enchantment. The alums from New Mexico, in a best of three. Game one is tonight, 8 o'clock tip-off at Coke Arena, and it's nationally televised on FS1, streaming on Fox 1. There you go. The Aftershocks trying to defend their championship. Get it going tonight, the 13th annual TBT at Coke Arena. 8 o'clock tip-off this evening. Minor League Baseball, the Wichita Wind Surge, had a great weekend. A three-game sweep in Arkansas beat Travelers 12 to 7 yesterday for the sweep. Hey, the surge is on a four-game winning streak, and it's a travel day today coming back home for a week at home downtown starting tomorrow night. surge with a three-game sweep. And the Kansas City Royals were going for a three-game sweep yesterday against the San Diego Padres. And not quite able to get it done. You heard the game on 97-5 and 1240, KFH. Padres salvaged the final game of the three-game series after the Royals winning the first two.

19 runs on 19 hits to totally subdue the Royals and the Royals after Matsui came into the game in the fourth inning. The Royals had just three hits. It did get ugly, and you say, well, would you rather lose a game three to two when you hand the game to the other team or get lathered, as the Royals did here today by the score of 19 to 2? But you lose 19 to 2, Stu. Those are very forgettable games. You hand the game to another team and lose three to two in the ninth inning. That's a gut wrencher, but when you lose 19 to 2, you just got whipped. Well, Denny, Denny's not pulling any punches. Well, that's the way it is, you know. A bit of an understatement there. Yeah, you had a crummy game, but you won two out of three in the series. And you move on to tonight, the next night. That's baseball. The Royals welcome another West Coast team in Interleague Play, the San Francisco Giants. Starting that series, live coverage at 6 o'clock tonight, Royals Giants, rematch of the 2014 World Series. And that is on 97-5 and 1240, KFH. We've got to the Royals and the Giants tonight. That is Sports, with Woodward and Witt.

existing in its dealerships into the 2030s responding to an industry-wide EV sales slowdown in the U.S. Jeff Monasso, Fox News. Tanner Temple is with Americans for Prosperity, Kansas. He talks about a proposed constitutional amendment that would change how justices are picked to serve on the Kansas Supreme Court. That vote is on the ballot for the August 4th primary. I'm reading a Wichita Eagle article, which I don't do typically, but this one caught my eye, and they were talking about what it was like behind the scenes about all these justices, or not justices, but lawyers talking about all their biases on the left-leaning individuals that they're trying to choose. So it's a good old boy system on the left that they're just trying to get their other leftist lawyers into office. No, I wasn't surprised when I saw that money was flowing on the left of center for sure. Temple appeared with us on Woodward and Quit on KNS last week. A couple in Arizona feeling lucky when they welcomed their baby girl into the world in a casino parking lot. Regina and Frankie went to the hospital when contraction started, but were sent home when things didn't move along fast enough. Then on the way back, mom's water broke inside their brand new SUV. They made it to the first well-lit area they could find, the parking lot of the Gila River Casino. And that's where things got a little dicey. The umbilical cord was wrapped around. Noah's neck and the brand new baby started to turn blue. But dad turned delivery doctor, got the job done, and they went back to the hospital where the real doctor had some explaining to do. The lucky parents tell me the baby got a clean bill of health and started off her life with a winning hand. Brian Webb, Fox News. It is 735 here with Woodward and Witt. Let's take a look at our weather forecast. Storm Team 12 meteorologist Jake Dunn. Good morning, Jake. Good morning, sunny and very hot today. Wichita climbs to 101. First time in the triple digits in almost one year. Factor in the humidity, it feels like 106. South winds 5 to 15, clear in 77 tonight. Sunshine continued very hot on Tuesday, high 102, partly cloudy, not as hot. Wednesday high 94. Small chance of storms on Wednesday night. 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, sunny sky. It is 78 degrees here on this Monday at Wichita's severe weather station, 987 and 1330, KNSS. It is 736, and as we do every morning at this time, Monday morning at this time, we sit down for our Mondays with the mayor conversation, and Mondays with the mayor is brought to you by the Wichita Packaderm Club, and our mayor is out of town this morning, so we're joined by Vice Mayor Dalton Glasscock, and so you're filling in for the mayor this morning, huh, Dalton?

I am the mayors in London representing Wichita, and so that means I have the pleasure of joining both of you this morning. I think I got the better end of the deal. I don't know. London, that might be kind of fun. What takes her to London today? So, Wichita often goes to the International Air Show, and in Farnborough is where the mayor is. So she'll be representing meeting with business leaders from across the world, actively trying to recruit those companies to the air capital of the world. And so this has spun off a lot of really good business investment in Wichita, and we're hoping maybe there's some big business announcements made at the London Air Show that will relocate businesses to the heart of the heartland. I know one of the biggest issues on the city council's plate this week is the unveiling of the proposed 2027 annual budget. It came out last week. Now, this is the city manager's budgets, not the final version. It's what the city manager has proposed. There's been some debate already on the issue, particularly the fact that the city manager has proposing, fully capturing the revenue neutral rate. This has been something that I know the mayor is opposed, and it's something that you oppose as well. Yeah, so right now the manager proposes this budget. That's how our system of government works in the manager council form of government, but ultimately becomes our budget when it's approved in August 25th of this year. And so really the largest of these philosophical conversation that's going to be happening is what percent of valuation do we capture. I lean closer to what the mayor also supports, and that's inflation plus new growth. And so we have new buildings in town. those should be captured as well as inflation because we face inflationary pressures just like the private sector. However, we should not be growing at a rate faster than the private sector. And so that's why I don't support the full capture of evaluation closer to around inflation plus new growth. The question then becomes, can you get four votes in order to... get something like that where you're, I mean, that's something similar to what the Cedric County Commission is looking at. Can you get the, can you get two of your other colleagues to go with you on that? Hey, that's going to be the question of the summer. Politics is all about having conversations, and I plan to have conversations with my colleagues and where we can continue to find efficiencies in the budget. Just last year, I was the one that proposed $3 million of cuts to the budget, which was able to reduce our property tax levy by the first time in 40 years. And so I hope to be able to do the same this year. Now, again, it just comes down to finding my colleagues, but we just received the budget. So this weekend, I spent...

my entire weekend reading the CIP, and I plan to try to maybe escape this weekend and read the budget as well to be able to find a lot of those efficiencies as proposed in the manager's document. A federal funding request was approved by the city council to add 50 new law enforcement officers to the police department. Now, this was a grant request. The same issue came up a few years ago with the fire department. It was a grant for office or for firemen. The question has come up, though, what happens when the grant runs out? Then you've got a liability issue. In the case of the police, if that grant is approved, that looks at upwards of $11 to $12 million worth then of liability. Is that a concern to you? So what we did last Tuesday was we approved going out to apply for the grant. We have not actually accepted the grant that has to be a separate vote by council. And I was very clear from the bench that before we accept any grant, I need to see how we can fund this long term. And the police department has to come back with those recommendations. I don't want an unfunded mandate, especially we'd be glad to have an additional 50 police officers and it's very needed. But we want to make sure that we have the funding stream. So I've asked the police chief, if we were to receive the grant by the time that he comes back to ask for the acceptance of the grant, that there will be performed by the show how we could fund these officers in the future that is concerned. And so the grant, we're applying for 50, but we only get five. And so how those conversations will happen probably in September or October of this year when it actually comes to whether we accept the grant or not from the federal government. We did get some good news in Wichita. A new nonstop South-Ewest Airlines flight to Nashville has been scheduled to begin March of next year, right? Yeah, let's go to Music City, USA. I'm very excited about this. You know, we continue to see incredible results at our airport. I know that anybody listening is one of the most efficient airports in the world, and I know that Wichita would echo that. I usually, I don't tell Jesse, the airport director, but I shove about 14 minutes before my fly, or leave my house 14 minutes before the flight board. I would not recommend that for most people, but I get the thrill of pushing it. And so. Very excited about this announcement. Hopefully this is one of just many announcements to come in terms of direct flights, but the airport has been wildly successful, and we'll continue to see a lot of growth at the airport. Well, Vice Mayor Glasscock, I guess my big question to you is, why didn't you get to go to Farnborough and be at the air show? Well, that's the whole thing about being a vice mayor, I guess. You should be asking the mayor that next Tuesday, giving her a hard time. But the mayor is an incredible representation of Wichita, especially in talking to business leaders. And I think she's...

the perfect person go and talk to people to recruit them to come to the city. Okay, we will make a note. It's probably one of those crucial security issues, too. We can't have the mayor and the vice mayor at the same room at the same time. Much like the whole. Somebody has to lead the meeting. And so, you know, we're talking about these consensus issues. You don't want to take two of our votes away. Right. Okay. And in front of the council bench. So you're like that, you know, what is it the president when they have the state of the union and one of them has to designated survivor? You're sort of like the designated survivor then. But, you know, if you get to lead the meeting tomorrow, yeah. If you get to lead the meeting tomorrow, it's time to make the move. All right, Dalton. We'll make sure to ask her why she got to go to London and made you stay home, too. And we'll stir up some trouble for you and then you'll have to deal with the consequences. Report back the answer. I will, my friend. That was Vice Mayor Dalton Glasgow. Fill it in for our mayor with Mondays with the mayor. And that, of course, that is brought to you by the Wichita Packaderm Club. And the good folks in the Wichita Packardom Club, they, that. They meet every Friday, and the meetings are held 1130 to 1 at the 9th floor club and venue, which is right downtown, the corner of Broadway and Douglas. They've got a great program every Friday.

It is 752 here, and let's go way back to last Friday and recap what happened on the stock market. The major averages finishing lower for the day and week as the semiconductor sector continues to drag markets lower and as U.S. Iran tensions are adding to market jitters. The market's tech-driven rally has been put to the test as companies' massive spending on AI-clouded optimism for the AI trade.

Of course, the stock market will have opened an hour from now, and we'll have those early results when you're listening to Woodward and Witt here on KNSS. Now it is time for a local business update from editor Kirk Semenoff at the Wichita Business Journal, and he'll tell us about some Wichita entrepreneurs expanding. Let's find out more. Mr. Semenoff, good morning. Good morning, Mr. Woodward. Janelle King and Paige Jim Jordan are those entrepreneurs. They're expanding from hospitality into real estate with plans to create a new neighborhood destination in central Wichita. They're the owners of bubble champagne. Champagne bar downtown, and they purchased a pair of retail buildings near Hydraulic and Kellogg and are transformed them into a mixed-use concept called Hyde's Edition. The first tenant will be their new upscale neighborhood bar, the Velvet Tiger, along with an event venue expected to open by September. King and Jim Jordan say they hope to attract independent businesses such as salons, tattoo shops, wellness providers, and creative retailers. to help build a community hub in the growing Hyde Park area. And which saw area bankers say commercial and industrial lending remains surprisingly strong, despite economic uncertainty. Leaders at Fidelity Bank and Equity Bank, the top two on the Business Journal's most recent list of the fastest growing commercial lenders, report that businesses have continued borrowing for growth in operations, even as they navigate tariffs, supply chain disruptions, geopolitical tensions, and higher costs. Equity's year-over-year change is up $192 million, while Fidelity was up by $141 million. Those banks executives say the continued demand for loans highlights both the resilience of local businesses and the broader strength of the American economy, even as concerns about consumer spending and inflation remain. Local breaking business news every day on KNSS and at Wichita BusinessJournal.com. For the Wichita Business Journal, I'm Kirk Semenoff. Well, Kirk, that first story kind of reminds me that I need to apologize to you. You invited me several times to hang out with you at Bubble's champagne bar, and we just never have been able to make that happen. I figure a couple drinks, and maybe we go to one of the new proposed tattoo shops and get KNSS tattoos. See, there you go. Always thinking ahead. Chad, I noticed that he didn't invite us to join them. Well, how about if all four of us go and get Woodward and Witt tattoos? No. Once again. I have to wait for jab on that one. Kirk's thinking ahead. It's all about branding and marketing. You've got it going. I'm game if Ted is, but, you know, I'm still waiting for him to commit. Yeah. Well, you know, we'll head to the bubble champagne bar and the Velvet Tiger, and we'll just make the round. We'll be having a good time. bubble champagne bar. Hey, it's happening, man.

It is 756 here with Woodward and Witt. 7 o'clock hour. Just check that off the list. Check. And now we move on to the 8 o'clock hour. Yep. Coming up here and, oh, I don't know, about 10 minutes. We'll check in with Jonathan Savage.

from Fox News Radio, who will be with us live from London. He'll recap the FIFA World Cup final. Preview the next World Cup in four years, and we'll probably get a little check in with him about the new prime minister. I think so, yep. Yep, that's all coming up here in the next hour. That'll be good, and we got entertainment news in the blur at 835 this morning. Probably get a box office recap from the weekend. All sorts of great... items coming your way in the 8 o'clock hour. We're glad you're with us here on 987 and 1330 KNSS. This is Woodward and Witt on 987 and 1330 KNSS, Wichita's number one talk. Good morning. It is 801 here on this Monday, July 20th, with Woodward and Witt. We'll tell you about a shooting in Wichita. I'm Rodney Price. The trial for a former Sedgwick County Detective will proceed. That story is just ahead. Currently in Wichita, we do have a sunny sky. It is 78 degrees here on this Monday, July 20th. The fighting between the United States and Iran continues as the U.S. works towards degrading Iranian military capabilities. The U.S. launching a ninth straight night of attacks on Iran as fears of a wider war continue to grow. It comes as another U.S. service member was killed in the line of duty this weekend during a controlled detonation of a downed Iranian drone in northern Iraq. Another soldier was hurt. A separate attack on Friday killed two other U.S. troops in Jim Jordan. A third went missing. identified remains have since been found. President Trump says the U.S.'s latest strikes are to honor the great patriots killed. The U.S. has been targeting everything from IRGC forces to air defense facilities and weapon storage sites, and Tehran is responding with attacks in Jim Jordan, Iraq, and Arab Gulf states. And that's Fox's Marianne Rafferty with that report. One person is in critical condition following a shooting in North Wichita. Police were called to the 2000 block of North Kansas east of the canal route at around 1136 last night for calls of a shooting. Officers tell us they found a 20-year-old man with a gunshot wound, adding he was the one who called in the shooting. They add that he was taken to a hospital with critical non-threatening injuries. Police say the victim is not cooperating with their investigation, so investigators are looking to talk with neighbors as they gather evidence and look into what led up to the shooting. The criminal case against a former Sedgwick County detective is moving forward. A judge heard a preliminary hearing Friday to determine if there was significant evidence against former detective Sean Linda McMahon. Linda McMahon was charged last July for two counts of making false statements and one count of interference with law enforcement. He was assigned to the internet crimes against children's section within the exploited and missing children's unit. A review by the sheriff's office revealed improper case closures and a failure to thoroughly investigate criminal complaints.

between 2019 and 2024. The hearing will take place on August 13th. Rodney Price, KNSS News. U.S. Senator from Kansas, Dr. Roger Marshall, reflects on the recent passing at age 71 of Senator Lindsey Graham from South Carolina. Lindsay was a dear, dear friend, one of my besties up there. Our desks are 10 foot apart. He kept me laughing. Every time I saw him, he made me laugh, very witty. And the interesting thing about Lindsey Graham is I bet there's 98 other senators who would say they were one of his best friends as well. He had the gift of hospitality. He made everybody feel welcome. We're going to miss him dearly. We get really tight. There's only 53 of us. We have lunch together every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday. So I lost a teammate, a friend. Lindsay was a godly man. Sometimes he had a little rough mouth, but he had an encyclopedia knowledge of the Bible. We'll get to see him again someday. Senator Marshall, appearing on the bi-weekly DC Update Fridays on KNSS with Woodward and Witt. In a primetime address to the nation last week, President Trump touched on the subject of election integrity, raising some issues on the vulnerability of the nation's election systems. Pat Proctor, the Republican candidate for Kansas Secretary of State, talks about his concerns with some of the issues that the president brought up. A lot of what he raised was about our voter rolls. You know, I held a hearing last year on our voter rolls, and we found out that there are more people 65 years or older on our voter rolls than there are humans 65 years older in the state of Kansas. I heard the president loud and clear. I've been working on these issues for a long time, and I think that here in Kansas, we're addressing them. But if we don't fix our courts... All of those mechanisms that I thought for the last four years as chair of the elections committee are going to go away. Pat Proctor was a guest last evening on the John Whitmire show here on KNSS. A Friday discussion at the Aspen Security Forum focused on technology and innovation. Louisiana Republican Senator Bill Cassidy said the only way technology contributes to our national security is if we have an industrial base by which to translate that innovation into products which can actually benefit our national security. He also said how we make products has to change. If you're manufacturing your critical minerals and your supply chains are controlled by Beijing, You are not secure. Texas Republican Senator John Cornyn agreed. We have a natural disaster, or heaven forbid, a military conflict. Our goose is cooked, not only economically, but from a national security perspective. Both stress the importance of data centers to handle new technology. Kevin Yerewski, Fox News. We'll be taking a look at a European perspective on the big soccer tournament coming up live from London. So you'll be one to hear for that. KNSS News time is 806.

It's 809 with Woodward and Witt. The 26 FIFA World Cup is officially in the books. And after a month of unforgettable moments, a champion has been crowned. The tournament brought the world's biggest sporting event to North America for the first time in more than 30 years. Joining us now is Fox News Radio's Jonathan Savage to recap the final. Good morning, Jonathan. Nice to have you back on the show again, my friend. Hey, good morning. Nice to speak to you again, and one last time about the World Cup. Yes, so it wrapped up yesterday. Was it everything you were hoping for in a final? No, I don't think it was. It came on Sunday the day after the third place playoff involving France and England, which finished six. four to England and I think that that game used up all the fun and all the goals apart from one which fell to Spain's Ferran Torres in the second period of overtime it was a grim watch at times you know no fault to Spain they had plenty of pressure they had plenty of the ball Argentina decided just to defend And Argentina made history, in fact, the first team to play in a World Cup final and not have a shot at goal in the 90 minutes of regulation time. Spain were dominant, Argentina were disappointed. Yeah, I watched, you know, oh, I don't know, last half hour or 45 minutes of it, and it was sort of, I was shocked that they just didn't seem to be able to generate any offense. This was the first 48-team World Cup and the largest tournament in history. How did the expanded format and the three-country hosting arrangement work out for both a competitive and a logistical standpoint? There definitely were some challenges in terms of the distances. People had to travel players and fans alike, long, long distances between venues with three nations involved. But beyond that, the 48-Team World Cup, I think most people agree, was a success. Yes, there were a new country that we hadn't seen at World Cups before or for a very long time. Most of them were able to acquit themselves fairly competitively. We had the incredible moment of Curisout taking their first World Cup point, despite having lost 7-1 to Germany in their previous game. We saw Cape Verde coming through the groups, a major upset. They came through the groups without losing a game before going out in the round of 32. were the four best teams. Hard to argue with that, with England, France, Spain and Argentina making up the Final Four. It was actually a very high-scoring World Cup too, an average of 2.96 goals per game. So there was plenty of entertainment.

The White House has described this as the largest, safest, and most welcoming World Cup ever, saying it showcased America as its best. From your perspective, you know, from someone overseas covering the event, what stood out about the fan experience and the atmosphere from, you know, the host cities from your perspective? There was just so much fun. Every image I saw was people having a great time, having fun, enjoying American culture and American cities. And the Americans that I saw seem to be enjoying it too. And in some cases, I think they were a bit shocked and surprised to see this soccer culture invade their territory, but that was a friendly invasion for the most part. So, yeah, what stood out to me was the way that America seemed to embrace what to many Americans, I imagine, seen as a foreign sport. So we did okay, is what you're saying. Did great. Okay. Well done. You can do it again, if you like. Real quick, where is the 2030 World Cup going to be held? It's a bit complex. So the main host are Spain, Morocco, and Portugal, so another three countries are going to host it together. But FIFA decided because it's the Centenary World Cup, they are going to reflect the earliest tournament and have... three matches in South America. So Argentina, Uruguay, and Paraguay will each host a game. And that means all six of those countries will automatically qualify for the next tournament. Wow. Okay. So that'll be, and that's coming up here four years from now. Real quick, before I let you go, you've got a new prime minister in England, correct? Yeah, the United Kingdom has its seventh leader in 10 years, Andy Burnham. He was appointed by the king, and then he gave a speech in Downing Street, and he said, frankly, we've not been good enough. We've changed prime minister too often. Some may say that's rich, given that critics accuse him of plotting to replace Kear Stammer for months. But he says he plans to be a circuit breaker for Britain. He plans a new political model and a new economic model. He's expected to move the UK to the left, how far left we're going to find out in the coming days and weeks. Well, that'll be interesting, something to watch. I wouldn't be surprised if we have you on soon to give us a breakdown of how that goes. So Jonathan, thank you. Nice always to have you with us, Jonathan Savage, live from London. Always good. It is 815 here with Woodward and Witt. You know, the next big change in grocery shopping may not be what you buy, but how you buy it. Checkout lines could soon become a lot shorter or gone altogether. Retailers across the country are adding smart carts, scan as you shop apps, and other technology designed to speed up purchases. Some stores already let shoppers walk out with their groceries, while cameras, sensors, and artificial intelligence automatically charge their accounts.

Others use smart carts that scan and total items as customers shop. Retailers say the system save time and reduce long lines, while critics raise concerns about privacy, accuracy, and impact on jobs. Whether shoppers embrace the changes could determine how quickly traditional checkout lines become a thing of the past. Matt Murphy, Fox News. Well, World Cup fans weren't just cheering. They were spending new estimates show the New York, New Jersey Stadium hosting yesterday's finale, was on track to bring in the most beer revenue of any tournament revenue ever. They were drinking. Throughout the World Cup, soccer fans have been excited, nervous about the outcome, showing love for their team. But no matter how they are taking in the game, many are doing it with a beer in hand. In the final, at the New York, New Jersey Stadium, the venue is expected to serve up $16.4 million in beer sales during all eight games played at that stadium, with more than $3 million of that poured just during the last game. According to the Digital Sports Media Company, better collective. Equating every pore to a 16-ounce tallboy, the data shows fans at the final game will be drinking at a rate of 230 pints every single minute over a 24-hour window, emptying enough cans to stretch from New York City to Philadelphia, nearly four times. Still, with beer prices starting at $16 each, drinking is expected to rival the Super Bowl. In New York, I'm Eric Sean. Fox News. Starting at 16. Starting. That's the cheapie. Yeah. That's the cheap. That's some pricey beers. That better be some good beer. Yeah, no doubt. It is 817 here with Woodward and Witt on KNSS. Traffic in the Wichita area right now starting to look a little bit better. The traffic volumes are coming down a bit, so we're not really seeing the backups right now. Just a couple of places where you might have an issue. Northbound I-235 right around central. We have a stalled-out car in that area. And also right now we have another stalled-out car. This one northbound on I-135. really close to 21st Street north. Traffic update from 987 and 1330 KNSSS and the Accident Recovery Team Traffic Center. I'm Chad Chambers. And we take a look at our weather forecast.

And let's take a look at what's going on in sports as we are hitting the annual time of the year when we have basketball in Wichita for... The TBT, the basketball tournament, 13th annual. Of course, last year, the Wichita State alumni team, the Aftershocks, won the whole thing. They got the million-dollar prize last year. Won all those games on home court. Now they get to try to defend the championship. Prize money has doubled this year, up to $2 million for the winning team. Winner take all. So you got the defending champ Aftershocks in action tonight. A little bit of a change in format. The Aftershocks are part of an eight-team alumni bracket, and teams get matched up to begin this thing in a best two out of three series. So it's the alums from New Mexico, the Enchantment, taking on the alums from Wichita State, the Aftershocks. Game 1 at 8 o'clock tonight, tip off at Coke Arena, nationally televised on FS1. So we get going. And, of course, you got the Elam ending, always ending on a made shot. So that's, I love the Elam ending. So that's what's going on tonight. Game one of the TBT for the defending champs, the Aftershocks. All right, we were just talking about the World Cup, wrapping up in men's soccer action in North America. And you had Argentina and Spain. scoreless going into extra time in the championship game and it would be one goal and one goal only that would decide the match between these two heavyweights and of course what better place to get the play by play of that goal that one goal then from telemundo

One goal was scored by Spain, of course. Here's his big finish here on the call. Oh! Spain won, Argentina, zero. Spain is World Cup champs for the first time since 2010.

Holman said on Fox and Friends Sunday, ICE will require that during enforcement, at least one agent will wear a body camera that will be recording. They exonerate more law enforcement than they convict. And I want officers wear body cameras. I want the American people see what the officers saw. Yeah. when they took that action. The comment came less than a week after two men in two states were shot and killed during vehicle stops. As for those stops, Holman said they will resume following President Trump on social media insisting that they do. Gernal Scott, Fox News. A Sedgwick County man is sentenced to 12 months of probation for insurance fraud. 64-year-old Lance Given pleaded no contest to two misdemeanor counts of fraudulent insurance acts. Officials say that Given gave false information about the location and the circumstance of an accident in order to gain coverage for damages to his vehicle that otherwise would not have been covered by his policy. Along with the 12-month probation, Given will face 30 days of prison time if his probation is violated. He must also pay a $500 fine for each count. Tyrus is a comedian and Fox News contributor. He says voters need to focus on local candidates and elections first before turning their attention to national politics. The Kansas Bar does that by design because they don't want us to know it because, you know, if we do, they'll see that they're picking another Kansas, our eastern Kansas, Johnson County individuals. So I've been out here knocking doors in Western Kansas. We had the Washington Post actually with us yesterday knocking doors and they got to hear firsthand of why people don't think we're very represented out here in Western Kansas because it's the continuation of. Johnson County, Shawnee County, Topeka, Lawrence. I mean, that's all these judges come from. That was Tanner Temple from Americans for Prosperity, Kansas, talking about vacancies on the Kansas Supreme Court. Tanner Temple appeared on KMSS with Woodward and Quit. And back to Tyrus, of course, talking about voters focusing on local candidates instead of the national. When they vote, they don't really think that their decisions they're voting for. necessarily affect them, but you should be more focused on voting in your area and your district.

than worrying about what's happening on the grand stage because it's the people that you send to fight for you. If they can't even have a conversation with you, that to me is a big red flag. That's Tyrus. He was a guest last evening right here on the John Whitmire show on KNSS. South Fair Florida crews are conducting aerial mosquito spraying as a blooming mosquito population is growing and getting out of control. Last month, Hillsborough County found 142 mosquitoes in one of its South Tampa traps. But when they checked that same trap Tuesday, there were 18,000. The reason why is our drought. Mosquitoes lay their eggs in the soil. But they need water to kickstart their life cycle to go from eggs to flying adults. Compare that 18,000 to the normal average of about 4 to 6,000 in a trap. All those mosquitoes have since been sent off for disease testing and the county's waiting for the results. In Tampa, Iroblisencia, Fox News. How'd you like that job, Ted? Counting mosquitoes. Who has to count 18,000 mosquitoes? Did you like that? Here's your job, dude. Count the skaters. It is 836 here with Woodward and Witt. Let's take a look at... It's 850 with Ted Woodward and John Whitmire on 987 and 1330 KNSS or Wichita Business Journal updates on the way. Now it's time for three big things. Three. Two U.S. service members were killed in an Iranian missile attack on American forces in Jim Jordan as the search continues for a third service member still missing. Two. A planned teen takeover at Town East Square was prevented after community group. Pure Violence ICT intervened before the event could take place. Emergency crews successfully pulled a teenager from a 30-foot cistern near Harrington Lake after his pickup truck crashed into the hole. That's three big things with Woodward Mouet on 987 and 1330 KNSSS. Jad, let's get a final traffic update. Well, the traffic volumes thinned out. Pretty light right now, and so things are looking fairly good. One area where things could back up quickly, though, if there's a problem, we've got a stalled-out vehicle eastbound Kellogg at Woodlawn. For the most part right now, the roadway's in Wichita, back to looking fairly good. Traffic update from 987 and 1330 KNSS in the Accident Recovery Team Traffic Center. I'm Chad Chambers.

It is 853 here with Woodward and Witt, and now it's time to get a local business update from Kirk Seminoff, the editor at the Wichita Business Journal. Good morning, Kirk. Good morning, Ted. Wichita entrepreneurs Janelle King and Paige Jim Jordan are expanding from hospitality into real estate with plans to create a new neighborhood destination in central Wichita. The owners of bubble champagne bar downtown have purchased a pair of retail buildings near Hydraulic and Kellogg and are transforming them into a mixed-use concept called Hyde's Edition. The first tenant will be their new upscale neighborhood bar, the Velvet Tiger, along with an event venue expected to open by... September. King and Jim Jordan say they hope to attract independent businesses such as salons, tattoo shops, wellness providers, and creative retailers to help build a community hub in the growing Hyde Park area. And Wichita area bankers say commercial and industrial lending remains surprisingly strong despite economic uncertainty. Leaders at Fidelity Bank and Equity Bank, the top two on the Business Journal's recent list of fastest growing commercial lenders report that businesses have continued borrowing. for growth and operations, even as they navigate tariffs, supply chain disruptions, geopolitical tensions, and higher costs. Equity's year-over-year change was up $192 million, while Fidelity was up by $141 million. Those banks' executives say the continued demand for loans highlight both the resilience of local businesses and the broader strength of the U.S. economy, even as concerns about consumer spending and inflation remain.
