Sedgwick County Commissioners agree to a temporary extension of their mutual fire aid agreement with four county communities. That story is just ahead. Currently in Wichita, as we await the sunrise, it is mostly clear and 82 degrees here on this Thursday morning. Situate County Commissioners unanimously approving a temporary continuation. Their automatic and mutual fire aid agreements with four county communities. Valley Center, Mount Hope, Cheney, and Clearwater requested the agreement be extended to September 23rd while each community completed their respective budgeting processes. In May, commissioners voted to terminate the automatic and mutual aid agreement response for those communities and the city of Colwich. Commissioner Ryan Beatty explained why he would not have supported a longer extension. The main factor that's motivating the sense of urgency is we're acknowledging there is a safety situation and a safety risk to our firefighters, firefighters from volunteer and part-time departments and also citizens. Call which was not included as it has an auto aid agreement with the city of Wichita. Rodney Price, KNSS News. Governor Laura Kelly announced Wednesday that millions.

A family of six, including four children, all dead in Winfield after murders and a suicide this week. Ronald Williams, Sr., the gunman, had a lengthy criminal history, including a sex offender registration and multiple felony charges spanning nearly three decades across several counties in eastern Kansas.

Williams was convicted in 1998 of attempted indecent liberties with a child. He's faced multiple felony charges since 1995, including battery, assault on law enforcement, attempted rape, kidnapping, and drug offenses. Officials had encounters with Williams as recently as the last few weeks. Winfield officers had more than 20 police reports involving the family. In 2005, Williams locked a woman in his home and threatened to beat her if she left. In September of 2005, Williams beat the woman and strangled her until she blacked out. The woman said she believed Williams thought she was dead, and when he saw she was alive, he attempted to hit her with a steering wheel lock. A neighbor intervened and called 911. Williams was charged in connection with that incident with attempted second-degree murder, aggravated assault, criminal damage to property, criminal restraint, and two counts of endangering a child. Members of President Trump's cabinet were on the aircraft used as an Air Force One decoy last month. U.S. fighter jets flanked the Air Force One jet between Turkey and the U.K. last month after President Trump secretly was moved to another aircraft. A senior administration official confirms the measures taken and also says the decoy plane carried Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent along with White House staff and members of the press corps. While the cabinet secretaries were told President Trump was not aboard the aircraft, other passengers, including journalists, were not. The extraordinary security measures were taken amid an assassination threat from Iran. At the White House, Jared Halpern, Fox News. Kansas Wheat is hosting a free Wheat RX program. That's today in Wichita. Wheat RX is a partnership between Kansas Wheat and K-State Research and Extension to disseminate the latest research recommendations for high-yielding and high-quality wheat to Kansas wheat farmers. The program will begin with an introduction and details of a new National Fish and Wildlife Foundation grant project designed to enroll more Kansas wheat acres in conservation programs. The focus will then shift to profitable wheat production. The Wichita Wheat R-X program is taking place today, and that's at the Double Tree by Hilton Airport, out in West Wichita. A surrogate who refused to abort a baby, despite the biological parents' request, gives birth in Texas. The surrogate mom McKenna Ward was caught up in a multi-state controversy refusing to abide by the biological parents' request, relocating to Texas where she gave birth to baby Gabriel, the infant suffering a congenital heart disease, now undergoing life-saving care. Although she gave birth, Ward cannot, by court order, see or hold the baby. Gary Baumgarten, Fox News.

We'll be taking, you know, yesterday we told you about the hero of the goose. The goosey. Yeah, we'll have more on Goosey. And one of the big time state fairs is opening today.

We talked about this animal yesterday, so let's get more on the story of Goosey. A Texas family is grateful. Just over a week ago in Richmond, Texas, the Gerber family was asleep when their goose, named Goosey, suddenly began honking loudly and wouldn't stop. The noise woke the family who discovered a barn on their property was on fire and rushed outside to keep the flames from spreading. Security video captured Goosey honking as the fire burned. The family had brought him home just four months earlier after a poultry expo. No people or animals were hurt in the fire, and Goosey is now getting credit for helping save the family's property.

Are you right-handed or left-handed? She's left-handed. I thought I was left-handed. I'm left-handed. See, I'm a Southball. Southball moves your left-handed. I'm left-handed. It's international left-handed. Sinister being Latin for left-handed. Raise your left-handed. I see you're left-handed. Happy international lift-handers day. It's showtime. And as we get the show started here on this Thursday, International Left Handers Day, what percentage of the population is left-handed? I'm going to say 25. Oh, you're way too high. 10% of the world is left-hand. Really? That doesn't surprise me. I knew it would be low. Because I just think most people are right-handed. I didn't figure it would be right. 90% are right. 90%. And my brother, Ned, is a left-hander. A lefty, huh? In the 90s, we had back-to-back left-handed presidents. I believe George H.W. Bush and Bill Clinton were both lefties. Yeah, okay. I think Obama's a lefty, too, I think. Anyway, but there you go. It's International Left-Hander's Day for you 10% out there. Okay, don't. You have to, you know, Crick your hand so you don't smudge the ink when you're right. When you're right, yeah. Interesting. I got a buddy who's ambidextrous. I want to see, that's pretty cool. That's very rare. Yeah, that's really weird. Somebody who is ambidextrous. You can get that done. Well, and actually a lot of us left-handers can do things. Are you left-handed? Yeah. Really? Uh-huh. A lot of us can do things right-handed. It just kind of depends. I could play golf, either kind of club, left-hand or right-handed. I could play golf with either, and it wouldn't affect my game. Well, I will only, I will probably only use left-handed shots as recoveries, like if I'm on the wrong side of a tree or something. I usually just carry one left-handed club and it's like, oh, I need to, you know, I hit too close to that tree and I'm on the wrong side of it to get it. I do that when I'm trying to cover up the fact that I shanked. Yeah. And, yeah, well, I was using my left-handed club.

That was, that was, yeah. It always works. Yeah, that works when I've had, you know, a few too many martinis and need to explain why I shank that into the, uh, into the woods. John, you've already been on Odyssey today. Maybe things can only get better from here. Yes. Yeah. Yeah. I was telling Ted, he noticed I was in a little tardy this morning. And, you know, we live out west. Yeah. And yeah, I was coming in this morning. No big deal. Yeah. You're driving in. Everything's great. Listening to K-E-Y-N on my way in this morning. And I... reached down to, you know, check the phone. And I realized, oh, yeah, I don't have the phone with you. No phone. Want, want, want. I thought, okay, no big deal. I get into the station and I'll call my wife from the station and have her bring it. And then I realized, wait a minute, my swiping is a little card swipe thing is in the little case that I have attached to my phone. So that's where you keep your door. Okay. The door swipe. So I'm not even, I'm not getting in the building. So I can't even call Ted to have him let me in the building. Yeah, I let you in the building. Yeah, so that was a 30-minute back to the house and back to the, yeah. I have no choice. I got to go back home and get the phone. I do that a lot, but I don't live far from here, so it's pretty easy for me. I'm a 20-minute drive back to you. So, yeah, it was a little bit rushed this morning. Yeah. That's okay. I guess I had a little bit of an adventure, too. I had to wait to get out of my parking lot because my parking lot was full of police cars. Oh. I didn't ask what was going on. It was probably something between somebody and somebody else. And I just, no. And so I sat there and waited and waited. And finally a police officer was like, are you trying to leave? And I was like, yeah. It'd be nice. Yeah, that'd be pretty good. And he was like, oh, well, we have to move a couple of these. Give me just a second. I did notice across from your development, not your development, your apartment complex this morning, that the raising canes, boy, they are working all hours because right there at the corner. They got the whole lights up, and they're doing construction. It's too hot to work during the day. When it's this hot, yeah, to do it now. So I was surprised as I finally came in at 4.50 this morning. They were lights up and full construction going on. So I was kind of surprised, but it makes sense because they don't want to do it when it's 107. Yeah. So I was a little surprised, but sure enough, they're building away. Which, hey, good for them. Probably smart. Yeah, exactly. They'll do it now. They don't want to do it at the heat of the day. Yeah.

Oh, the site of the old Benegans. Yeah. Oh, those were the days. I liked Benegans. I did too. I thought Benegans was... But you walked in there? Yeah. And you were usually one of about four people that were in there. It was never crowded. Why are people not coming here? And I like... They had a good menu. They had a... They had some really unique items on their menu at Benegans. I don't know why they couldn't get people. But which was easy to me to believe that that... corners cursed yeah was with who hot wasn't that they were there yeah it's been and they had good food in a series of restaurants so i i i mark my words raising canes will break maybe this will break the curse they will break the curse they will break the douglas and rock road location They never could seem to get any headwood. They are going to break the curse because of what they are. It's a chicken joint. It is 618 here with Woodward and Witt on this Thursday morning. Now let's see what's going on in sports.

The Wichita Wind Surge at home here on this hot week and got a nice win last night. 1600 at the game at Equity Bank Park saw the Wichita's wind surge beat the Corpus Christi Hooks 9 to 3 in game 2 of this six-game homestand. What a night for the center fielder for Wichita. Batting fifth in the lineup, Garrett Spain. Four for four on base, including two home runs. And he drove in four of the nine runs. He's got 20 home runs on the season now for Wichita. So nice win for the wind surge last night. Wichita is still seven games behind for a playoff spot with a month to go in the season. Action again tonight, downtown. The Wichita Turbo Tubs hosting the hooks. It's 635 this evening downtown. Hot night for baseball. Major League Baseball, the Kansas City Royals. In Los Angeles, Dodger Stadium, the place the Royals have visited the least in the franchise history. And after this week, maybe that's a good thing. You heard the game last night, 975 and 1240, KFH. The Royals lose to the Dodgers tonight, a final score of four to two. And the Royals get swept in this three-game series. They fall to 49 and 73 on the season and have lost four straight. Meanwhile, the Dodgers are now 73 and 48. And you know, Stu, at the outset of this series from the rest of the baseball world, looking at the Dodgers with one of the best records in baseball and the Royals with one of the worst. A sweet might have been the expected outcome. How it unfolded. probably wasn't necessarily expected. There are no silver linings in baseball. You either win or you lose, and you're measured on the results. The wins and the losses, and for the Royals, there have been, well, more losses than wins, of course, and the opposite's true for the Dodgers. But the Royals in this series...

had a lead in every single one of these three games, and in two of the three games had late leads. The Royals pushed the Dodgers to the edge in this series, where the Dodgers were one play better, one pitch better, one swing better. That was the case tonight, too, in a 4-2 loss, which saw the Royals take an early lead, but the Dodgers take the lead for good on a Shoahe Otani home run. 10th time this season, the Royals have been swept in a series. It lost four straight. Maybe the only good news is for the Royals is they get an off day today to enjoy life in Los Angeles. Off day in L.A. for the Royals. All right. Hey, how about women's soccer? We are underway with the college athletics season now. Another new year begins. Women's soccer in Lawrence on a hot day yesterday. 15th ranked Kansas opened up the season with a 2-0 win over Utah State.

EPA Administrator Lee Zeldin says he believes deregulation, including the elimination of greenhouse gas emission standards for vehicles. has resulted in increased manufacturing investment in the U.S. Which has the benefit of creating more jobs, more people working. Lee Zeldin told the Fox News Rundown podcast, staff cuts at the EPA have saved taxpayers $750 million a year. On top of that, through real estate consolidations, canceled grants, we closed an EPA museum that was created during the Biden administration, almost no one knew about or even visited.

For commodity trading or ag marketing, contact left for commodity. on the phone or on the web by using 866 go to tom well tom you know occasionally i i kind of swing and a miss on these national day things with you You know, I mean, it's easy if I get like National Vanilla Ice Cream Day. I know I'm going to win. But I think today is a no-brainer because August 13th is National Philette Mignon Day. It's National Filet Mignon Day. It celebrates the specialty cut of beef, usually from a steer or a heifer. A filet mignon is a steak taken from the smaller end of the tenderloin.

of beef. Filet mignon's is French for cute fillet or dainty fillet. In French, filet mignon may be called a fillet de bouff, which translates to beef fillet. Yeah, the price isn't dainty. Yeah, no, no, no. But then again, it's also the best cut of beef, if you ask me. Refer to, it's the filet mignon comes from the most tender portion of the tenderloin. It's most... prized cuts of beef. Therefore, we expect the steak to be the most expensive. It's usually cut into one or two inch thick portions. It is literally considered the finest of all sets of cuts of beef, and bacon wrapped is usually the best. But today is Filet Mignon Day. So obviously this is a, I think, a no-brainer. Tom, do you like a filet mignon? Yes, but it is not my favorite cut. I'd rather go with the ribby or the strip. I think it has more flavor than the filet mignon. The flet mignon is a very tender piece of meat, but it's not my favorite. See, now, I would, here's where I fall on this debate. I'm with you. I prefer the rib eye only because it's bigger. I would take the fillet if it was huge. But the problem is, I don't get enough of it. Now, if they'd serve me a 14 or an 18 ounce filet, I would take it, but it would probably cost me 300 bucks.

So do you see where I'm going here? If I could get an 18-ounce filet, I would say that's my favorite. But since I can't, I'll take a ribby any day and twice on Sunday. By the way, if you're looking for a good fillet, go to size hoof and horn. That is the best place to get a good fillet. I agree. Yeah. I mean, he does everything right. And same with the rabbi. That rabbi up there is to... die for but yeah oh it is so good but so i i'm with you i love a good fillet but you can't beat a ribba have you ever had a tomahawk by the way i've yet to have one i have yes is it as good as i think it is It is something I think everybody ought to have once, but I probably would never do it again. It was great. I think it's just the ideal of it to how massive it looks on the Graham Platner and that big old hunk of bone there, you know, but I don't think I'd do it again. Why? I think you're paying a little too much for it for one thing. But other than that, flavor and everything was fantastic. Where were you when you had it? I was at Chester's. Oh, okay. Oh, well, yeah. Now, well, and if you were there, you paid. Yeah, I'm sure. Yes. Yeah, I see, I've never had a tomahawk. My wife and I've talked about going someplace and getting a tomahawk. Have you ever had one, Ted? I don't think I have. That's, I mean, they look so impressive. That's one of those that I would love someday to. go have a tomahawk i just have jad have you ever had a tomahawk no huh oh they look so good it's just oh it's so savory and i'm sure all the vegans out there are you know saying oh you poor you know or the vegetarians or you know you can't you know i'm like yeah yeah that's what they're for um and the other good thing about it is after you've consumed that tomahawk you've got a nice bone take home to your dog oh yes yes well in our case we'd have to eat three of them To be fair, because you can't just take home one or the other two will get mad. But that's okay. I'll eat three. That'd be fine. All right, Tom. Well, it's National Filet Mignan Day. So go get yourself a fillet Mignan. That'll go get this morning with some mates. Oh, man, thinking just like me. All right, brother. Have a good day. We'll check in with you again tomorrow. Very nice.

The Dow slipped 21 points, that's less than a tenth of a percent, that has that composite climbed half a percent. Nvidia and Super Micro Computer helped lead the way following the latest signs that businesses continue to spend big money on AI infrastructure. The government reported that inflation improved a bit last month. That helped send Treasury yields lower in the bond market. The yield in the 10-year Treasury fell to 4.67%. Sethsuto, New York.
