All Talk with Kevin Dietz ~ April 10, 2026 ~ Full Show

Welcome into All Talk on a Friday morning. I'm Kevin Dietz, along with Marie Osborne, bringing you the latest headlines and the stories that everyone is talking about. I want to take a moment and just say, welcome home and job well done, because right now four astronauts are on their way back to Earth after doing something that not that long ago felt almost impossible. This mission, Artemis II, wasn't just another trip into space. It was a 10-day 695,000 mile journey. around the moon and back and here's why that matters for the first time In more than 50 years, human beings traveled out beyond the moon, saw the far side, the part no on earth ever gets to see, and then turned around and came home. They went farther from Earth than any humans ever have, further than Apollo 13, further than any mission in history, and they did it not just to prove we can go, but to prove we're ready to go back. And this time to stay. This is the beginning of the next chapter. The moon is no longer the destination. It's the training ground because what Artemis is really about is Mars. But because we got to get to the moon first, then Mars, you've got to make sure you can send people out that far and bring them home safely. And that's where we are right now. In just hours that Orrin capsule is going to hit Earth's atmosphere at thousands of miles per hour. Temperatures outside pushing 3,000 degrees. Communications going dark for a few minutes. And then, if everything goes right, and we pray it does, parachutes deploy, slowing them down from 300 miles an hour to about 17, and splash down in the Pacific Ocean, around 8 o'clock tonight. Waiting for them, recovery teams, helicopters, a Navy ship, and eventually a ride home. Back to Earth, back to their families, back to all of us. And here's the part I keep thinking about. We talk about space like it's routine now. Launches happen all the time. Rockets go up, satellites go out, and we move on. But this is different. These are human beings sitting on top of physics, trust, and thousands of people doing their jobs perfectly, all so we can push just a little further into the unknown. And they did it. They made the trip. They did the work. They carried all of us with them. Whether we were paying attention or not. So this morning, before the noise of the day, just take a second and look up. And remember, we are still doing big things. We are still exploring. We are still capable of something extraordinary. So to the crew, welcome home. You did your job. You made history. And we can't wait to watch you splash down. Currently expected at 8.07 p.m. Eastern Standard Time. Good morning, Marie. And good morning, Kevin. Let's talk about some of the specs on that return flight home. Artemis II lead flight director, Jeff Radigan, gave a timeline of the expected moments ahead of that splashdown, including the blackout period where communication between the Johnson Space Center in Houston and the spacecraft will be lost. We'll enter blackout at 6.53 local central time.

About 10 minutes later, the drogue shoots will deploy at 703, and then the main shoots will be right behind them a minute later, 704. And we'll see those three main parachutes come out leading down to splashdown at 707. NASA Associate Administrator Amit Shathria previews what is planned today this evening to splash down from the Johnson Space Center in Houston. The Iran spacecraft will enter the Earth's atmosphere at approximately 25,000 miles per hour. That heat shield, the thermal protection system, which is built by American hands and American factories for materials designed to withstand temperatures that approach the surface of the sun will bear the full force of that reentry. And let's talk about the mission of this, the end result of this mission into space. Here's the NASA Associate Administrator, again, Ahmed Chathria. The team has extracted every ounce of test data we can. I'm very pleased with the coordination in the way that we've added objectives in flight. And Kevin, as you know, the group completed their lunar flyby on Monday. It was awesome. And they broke the record for the farthest distance humans have been away from Earth. Are you going to watch? Oh, 100%. I can't wait. I'm so excited about this. Yeah, I really, really great mission that they went on. And it will be nice to get them home. And we pray for that to happen safely. A packed intense Oakland County Commission meeting erupted in booze and shouting. after officials approved a new police drone program. Commissioners voted 14 to 4 to move forward with a nine-month pilot program using drones for emergency response in law enforcement. The decision to delay public comment until after the vote angered residents who felt shut out of the process. The drones will be used for 911 calls, missing person searches, and suspect tracking with a potential $2.5 million cost if extended. Officials say the program will improve response times and public safety, citing past rescue operations. Many residents, however, raised concerns about surveillance, privacy, and potential misuse of the technology. The meeting highlighted a growing divide between public safety efforts and fears of government overreach in our local communities. The husband of a Lenoir County man who has been reported missing. A woman, we should say, who has been reported missing in the waters of the Bahamas, has been taken into custody for questioning. 59-year-old Brian Hooker told police his wife Lynette fell overboard in rough waters while they were in an eight-foot digging and that the high winds and the current swept her away. The woman's daughter, well, she has questioned her stepfather's story, saying her mom was a strong swimmer and experienced sailor. Brian Hooker's attorney, Terrell Butler, describes how her client is handling his wife. The statement for the police was in order to assist them so that they could use that in the recovery and search of his wife. He appeared art broken. He was crying at one point when he was talking about his wife and how she was his partner and everything. She assisted him with everything. So he had a moment. And now the couple is from Olmsted, Michigan. Brian Hooker has not been charged with any crime and the investigation is still ongoing. Family members say that Brian has a history of anger problems. President Trump is ramping up a pressure on Iran while a fragile ceasefire remains in place. Vice President JD Vance is leading high-stakes negotiations in Pakistan aimed at reaching a longer-term agreement. Trump publicly criticized Iran for restricting oil flow through the Straits of Hormuz.

and warned against charging tanker fees. At the same time, he urged Israel to show restraint to keep negotiations alive. The president says he's very optimistic about a deal, but warned consequences will be severe if Iran doesn't comply. U.S. military forces remain in the region as a show of strength. Meanwhile, Democrats are preparing a House vote to limit presidential war powers tied to the conflict. Former Vice President Mike Pence says he supports President Trump's direction and leadership. There was a lot of talk about five weeks ago about America starting a war. This war started 47 years ago. Iran has been waging war on America, on our most cherished ally Israel during those five decades. And I give President Trump all the credit in the world for pulling the trigger last year with Operation Midnight Hammer going directly at their nuclear facilities. making the decision to unleash our armed forces. The ceasefire for negotiations was set at two weeks time. A federal judge has blocked the Pentagon's latest bid to limit press access, tearing into the Department of Defense's on a stinging ruling that warned suppression of political speech is the mark of an autocracy, not a democracy. U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman blasted the department for attempting to end run around his decision, voiding parts of a restrictive press policy rolled out by Secretary Pete Hegseth last year, saying the Pentagon had flouted its ruling when it quickly implemented. minute a tighter policy. The Pentagon plans to appeal this ruling according to a spokesperson. Rory McElroy is right where he wants to be tied for the lead after round one as he looks to repeat at Augusta. The early leaderboard is crowded setting up what could be a wide open and unpredictable weekend. Top contenders like Scotty Sheffield and Bryson Deschambo are within striking distance and ready to make a move. McElroy appears to be playing with less pressure after finally capturing his first major title. master's title last year. It's going to be fun. We're going to take a quick break. We'll be right back. It's All Talk. I'm Kevin Deetz. It's all talk on a Friday. I'm Kevin Deetz coming to you from the Golden Tower of the Fisher Building. The number is 1-800-859-09-7. 1-800-8-5-0-WJR. We're going to take your calls, read your text at 935. So pick up the phone and be a part of the show. All right, let's get into something that is starting to quietly build in Washington, but could become very loud, very fast. Top Democrats are now signaling they want discussions around using the 25th Amendment to remove President Donald Trump. If the United States Congress has any life left in it, every member of Congress and senator must be calling for Trump's removal today based on the 25th Amendment. He's threatening the entire destruction of a civilization. He is calling Iranians animals. He is showing a total disregard for the humanity of people.

Leadership is acknowledging the conversation. They're also talking about impeachment again. This is Senator Ed Markey. Democrats must proceed with the filing of the impeachment articles. We need to work as hard as we can to put the Republican Party, which is morally. bankrupt, which is spineless, which wants to be in a witness protection program, even as moral atrocities are being planned in their name. We must proceed towards the goal of removing Donald Trump from office, and we must do this now, and that has to be the Democratic agenda. More than 80 Democrats already calling for some sort. a form of removal, either impeachment or the 25th Amendment. Let's bring in Adrian Heman, partner and CEO at grassroots Midwest. Good morning. How are you? Doing great. Thanks for having me. I appreciate you being here. Yeah, it seems like the noise, the drumbeat is getting louder. Yeah, I think so. On one hand, it's not surprising. You know, the president continues to be quite provocative. That's his brand, to put it mildly. I think the other thing that's going on here is that, you know, we have a competitive election coming up in November between the two parties. But before that, most members of Congress, Democrat or Republican, are in safe seats where they've got to throw red meat to their base. And a lot of this is Democratic members. throwing red meat to their base. Like Senator Ed Markey, who's facing a primary challenge from his left, he's trying to demonstrate his bona fides to the left wing of that voting coalition. Well, do you think they have genuine concern that the president needs to be removed under the 25th Amendment? Sure. I think that that's true of probably most of the folks who are calling it, calling for it. But that doesn't mean that there's not also the opportunity to make good politics for them in their partisan primaries at the same time. Is there a risk of that backfiring at all? Not so much with the base, but perhaps the independence. Yes, absolutely. It turns out that most Americans, just like in the last presidential election, are focused on their own families, how much things cost, and their own personal welfare and that of their neighbors and family members. And losing sight of that going into a competitive general election is a mistake. Isn't that the better argument for Democrats who are running to say, look, he's not focused on America at all. He's completely distracted overseas versus saying we have to remove this president. He's not fit for office.

Yeah, and I think that that's part of what happened in the last presidential election is that, you know, the then Democratic administration lost sight of what was number one for Americans, the cost of goods and services, and they got punished for it. And, you know, Republicans this time around seem to have lost sight of that, and Democrats seem to be following them down the same path this time. What about the folks who are just tired of all this constant escalation and just see this as something that is not really going to happen? It's just more rhetoric. Does it turn them off or are they okay with it? It does. I mean, it's part of the reason why you see even a lot of Americans that vote tuning out from following politics regularly, right? Because most political content that's out there is exactly this, right? It's just hyper-partisan sniping and, you know, talking about things that are not going to happen. Between now and the end of the year, the president is not going to be removed from office. So you can spend your time talking about that. or you can spend your time talking about things that Americans care about that you might actually have some chance of achieving. What happens after the midterms if the Democrats win the House, win the Senate? Then does impeachment become real? Then does the 25th Amendment become something that's possible? I think the 25th Amendment piece is much less likely, but I will say that, you know, Democrats have a hard road ahead of them to take the U.S. Senate. I expect that they will take control of Congress. If they get them both, they're absolutely going to impeach him. And what would that mean for the presidency and the Republican Party? Well, I mean, in some sense, for the Republicans who would like to run for president in 2028, it would be a positive boon, right? A big part of the issue for other Republicans who are trying to position themselves to run for president is that President Trump is very good at sucking up all the oxygen, especially in the media. And the sooner he's shuffled off the stage, the sooner they can get down to the brass tax of trying to run for president in 2028. Of course, they'll complain about it if Democrats do it because that's the partisan political environment that we have. But folks like Vice President JD Vance and Secretary of State Marco Rubio would probably like to see the president gone sooner than later for their own presidential ambitions. So what should Republicans do now to try and hold the Senate and try and surprise people and keep the House as well? I mean, if they've got somebody in their hip pocket that convince the president to start talking about the economy again instead of the disintegrating ceasefire deal over in the Middle East, that would be very smart. Most Americans are not obsessively watching the Iran War, but they are obsessively watching gas and grocery prices because they have to interact with that every week.

So do those running for office on the Republican side, can they start separating themselves from Donald Trump, or is that too dangerous if Trump then comes after them? I mean, they have the same problem that those Democrats we started off talking about have with needing to do partisan nonsense to win partisan primaries. Most members of Congress don't run in competitive seats. They run in seats where the elections over after the primary. And President Trump is the most powerful force in Republican primary politics. And they are reasonably scared of him waiting into their primaries and endorsing against them. So how much time does Donald Trump have to... suddenly start focusing on the home front again of these things you're talking about these kitchen table topics you know the economy can he and I'm talking about the November and not the primaries but but November vote the general election can he flip a switch and just start focusing on that and will people suddenly start paying attention how many people out there are already making their decisions Yeah, I mean, most Americans are not thinking deeply about the elections in the fall yet. And, you know, so from the perspective of Republicans, the best time for the president to have pivoted back to the economy was probably in December of last year, but the second best time is today. Republicans really need the president to focus on things that most Americans care about, and he's not doing that right now. I think that if he were to do that soon, it would probably have a good impact for them. I always think that it's helpful when the parties are unified coming into an election. I don't see either party is terribly unified. Can either of these parties come together in unify before the midterms? And which party would you say is more together? I mean, Democrats are slightly more together right now because they're out of power, right? It's the same dynamic that we saw with Republicans in the run up to the last presidential election. They didn't have power and they wanted it. That's a powerful motivator to at least pretend to get along. But it's a great question. And frankly, it's indicative of the fact that for as partisan as our politics have gotten, the parties are actually incredibly weak right now. Yeah, no, I agree. And they're kind of pulling at each other instead of with each other to, whether it's the Democrats to get back in power, the Republicans to keep power. What do you see happening with this whole 25th Amendment? Will this just be some talk for a couple of weeks? Or will they actually, do you think they'll actually move forward with it? No, I mean, they're not in any position to move forward with it. Democrats are in the minority in both chambers of Congress, so they certainly won't be doing it.

Yeah. All right. Adrian Hema, partner and CEO at Grassroots Midwest. We appreciate it. Always a great time. Thanks, Kevin. Yeah. It's interesting. They are getting louder and louder, talking about the 25th, talking about impeachment. Will that work for Democrats or will that actually backfire? We'll take your calls next. 1-800-859-0 WJR. It's all talk. I'm Kevin Deetz. I hope you're having a fabulous Friday morning. It is 935. That means it's your turn to talk. 1-800-8-9-9-7. Let's open up the lines. 1-800-8-9-0-WJR. What do you want to talk about from this week? Democrats are now signaling they're open, at least talking about the 25th Amendment to get rid of President Donald Trump. They think the 25th Amendment is a good idea. I don't know about that. That's not going anywhere. But you're going to hear a lot about it. If the United States Congress has any life left in it, every member of Congress and Senator must be calling for Trump's removal today based on the 25th Amendment. He's threatening the entire destruction of a civilization. He is calling Iranians animals. He is showing a total disregard for the humanity of people. I highly doubt that the majority of Americans are in favor of taking Donald Trump out via the 25th Amendment. And I do think that Democrats who push in this direction and push hard, I think it could backfire on them. I really do. Now, there's also, if that doesn't work, hey, let's try something else. Let's talk about impeachment. The Democrats are talking about that, too. Democrats must proceed with the filing of the impeachment articles. We need to work as hard as we can to put the Republican Party, which is morally. bank from, which is spineless, which wants to be in a witness protection program, even as moral atrocities are being planned in their name. We must proceed towards the goal of removing Donald Trump from office, and we must do this now, and that has to be the Democratic agenda. They don't have the votes for it, though. So really, what is the point? I think the point is just to talk tough. If you talk tough, talk tough, you have a better chance of getting elected back at home in your district because you can say, look, I went after Donald Trump. If we had more Democrats in the House, in the Senate, we could actually do something about removing him. And Hakeem Jeffries, he's still talking tough. Here he's talking about going after more members of the Trump administration. But we're working on this. Watch. Watch this. Kristi Noem is gone. Pam Bondi is gone. And Pete Hegseth is next up.

So Pete Hegseth is next up. Is this tough talk, smart politics? Because the Democrats really don't have the power to make any of these things happen. But the more they talk about it, does it influence people out there? The independence primarily, do they start to think, you know what? I think we need to rein in Donald Trump a little bit. Maybe I should vote for a Democrat instead of a Republican this time around and see if we can't. rain in Donald Trump a little bit. I don't know. I don't think it's going to work, but what do you think? 1-800-859-0-957. Laura, we have any text? We do. One of them is from Margaret and Troy, and she said, I'm not okay with the Democrats ranting about removing the president. They have no ideas themselves except to be anything against what the president does. In fact, they are against so many things that they're actually good for the country and necessary. Unfortunately, too many people are listening to the Democrat rhetoric and are believing their lies. That's a great point, because what are the Democrats' solutions? to all of these problems that we're talking about. Do they have a solution to foreign policy other than don't get involved in stopping Iran from having nuclear weapons? Do they have a solution to the economy because the Democrats were in power and the economy was a mess? Donald Trump got elected because the Democrats had the economy in such a mess. Now, if Donald Trump doesn't get the job done and fix the economy, they can say, see, he didn't do it. Give us another chance at it. What else you got, Laura? Oh, I'm sorry, you're on the phone, Laura. Let's go to the phone lines. John and Chesterfield, John, welcome to all talk. Good morning. Yeah, the politics at the national level, the Democrats and Republicans, I'm tired of them. The midterms are too far away. My main concern right now is the Democrats and Republicans at the local level, any special elections with bonds and millages they're going to have on the May ballot that nobody's paying attention to, and we talk about affordability, they're trying to sneak these in. That's what I'm paying attention to. That's all I have. Thank you. Thank you, John. I appreciate you listening. I appreciate you calling in. Yeah, I think you're right. Politics is really about the local level. If you're wondering what impacts you the most, it's look at your local school boards, look at your county commissions. They have the budgets for your cities, the budgets for your county, the budgets for your state. But these national politicians, they take up all the oxygen. They are at the ready nonstop, not on just social media, but all the cable channels saying things. I think that...

keep their name in the press. Maybe by saying, let's invoke the 25th Amendment, people will talk about those senators and those congressmen who are saying that. If they talk about impeachment, then your name gets in the news, and we talk about you. So maybe we need to give less time to the people who are on the far right and the far left and more time to the people who are in the middle trying to get things done. Joanne and Pontiac, welcome to all talk. Hi. Hey, I want to call out Debbie Dingell, if I may. She is just one of those that anything against Trump, if Biden was doing everything Trump's doing, she'd be all for it. It's been bugging me since June of what, 23 when Biden and Trump had that debate where Biden bungled it so bad? She was on your station, WJR, a couple days before that, saying that she was just spent a whole day with Joe Biden, and he was absolutely mentally fine. Running circles around her. She's just a liar. She just has TDS. And she just irked me really bad. Well, thank you for calling. I appreciate that. Debbie Dingell has a pretty longstanding friendship with Joe Biden. So it didn't surprise me that she hung in there in support of Joe Biden as long as possible. My bigger concern is these politicians who say they're moderate, who say they like to work on both sides of the table. And every time a vote comes in, they vote. with their party and their party only. And they don't cross over. You're hearing John Fetterman a lot talking about he supports Donald Trump. in his policies in Iran. And you don't hear many people do that. Now, if you pin a Democrat down and you force them to answer, they'll say, yes, it was important that we got rid of the Ayatollah. That is a very bad person that needed to happen. And then they'll just start talking about how everything else Donald Trump is doing is wrong. But we need to have more people. honestly discussing where we're at. Just because you say something like Donald Trump was right to go in and do what he did in Iran doesn't mean you're not a good Democrat or you're not a good for the party. It means you're a good American. You should be a good American first. Let's go to Tom and Windsor. Tom, welcome to all talk. Right. Well, I'll tell you, one thing for sure, if Trump doesn't get the Iran thing figured out and figured out quick, then he's toast this fall for sure. Now, now, like I say, like, who's running the show? Didn't they have a deal all worked out? That ceasefire worked out. And, like, is it Trump or is a Benjamin Netanyahu? They had a deal worked out. The Benjamin Netanyahu went in and bombed Lebanon. How long do you think this Iran situation has been going on? We're still in the quick mode.

What do you mean we're in the quick motive? We don't get this figured out. The whole world can get into a massive recession. Like, you know the way things are going on. We just took out their entire regime. They don't even know for sure who the new regime is going to be. We're negotiating with who we think is going to be the new regime. It doesn't have. You don't just flip the switch. They're working on it. It looks like their full attention is on it. It's all talk. I'm Kevin Deetz. It's All Talk on a Friday. I'm Kevin D. It's coming to you from the Golden Tower of the Fisher Building. The number is 1-800-8-559-7. 1-800-8-5-0-W-JR. Pick up the phone and be a part of the show. Well, I know what I'm doing tonight. I'm watching re-entry and splashdown. Heat, speed, communication, blackout. parachutes, and then if all goes his plan, splash down in the Pacific. That sounds better than any movie I could watch tonight. Let's bring in Fox News Correspondent, WJR contributor, Jeff Minasso. Good morning. How are you? Hey, buddy. So is it like a drinking game involved? I like it. I like where you're going with this. I do. Yeah, that's a different kind of blackout game that we play sometimes. This is, I'm really excited about this. I just am. I heard some. People on the radio calling in and they're kind of like, I don't know, get off my lawn. This is expensive. I'm like, oh, come on. We have so much time to be negative about stuff. Let's just rally around this one. Yeah, I mean, it is clearly. It's something we haven't done in over 50 years, go to the moon. And so the Artemis II is fast approaching Earth as we speak, the mission entering its final phase. with a crew of four astronauts scheduled to splash down in the Pacific off the coast of San Diego. Target time is 507 Pacific, 807 Eastern. And that marks the end of a 10-day mission that took humans around the moon for the first time in decades. Along the way the astronauts, it wasn't just a lunar fly-by just to kind of check things out to see what's going on in the neighborhood. This was a science mission. to study. They observed the moon, the effects of humans in space. They documented craters and ancient lava flows on the moon. One of the key areas of focus was the Oriental Basin as a massive multi-pattern impact structure, never ever seen directly by human eyes. By the way, who knew that the moon had color? Some of the pictures that these astronauts have sent back are incredible. They also conducted several studies to understand how deep space affects the human body. And we're talking about sleep, stress, cognitive performance. They tracked immune system changes. They were evaluating cardiovascular, nutritional, and ocular health. All the things we're going to need to know if we're getting to space, if we're going to be living there up on Mars and traveling to the moon into the future, which is what the plan is.

So these are some interesting things that we need to know. And, you know, 240,000 miles away from Earth, the Artemis 2 crew was also able to demonstrate laser-based communication to transmit high-definite. And we can't get a good signal in our basements, but yes, they've got this high-definition video and large data sets that were sent back to Earth at rates of up to 260 megabytes per second. And so technology has certainly improved since the Apollo program and the space shuttle programs. But now is the dangerous part as the atmospheric entry. The Orion capsule is going to be traveling 25,000 miles per hour with temperatures generating up to 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit. But I think once we see the parachutes deployed, That's a good sign, and it's going to slow the spacecraft to about 17 miles per hour, we're told, before it hits the water. And residents in San Diego probably going to hear a sonic boom during reentry. Yeah, NASA said they're highly confident in the heat shield. I kind of want it to be 100% confident in the heat shield. There's always risk. That's the point, you know. Everyone's doing their best. And what's interesting to me is, you know, it's not just like these four astronauts. There's hundreds and hundreds of people who have been doing their job in making this possible. And it kind of all has to go right for this thing to work. Yeah, it's not, look, this mission is not over by a long shot. It's going to continue even after they splash down. I mean, there's teams of over 100 NASA personnel, several hundred sailors involved. There's a massive recovery ship, the amphibious transport dock ship called the USS John Murtha. That's going to be on scene. They're using MH-60 Seahawk helicopters to track the dissents. And within minutes of splashdown, IRAs are expected to get these guys out of the capsule, these four astronauts. And then the astronauts will be in what's called a post-medical flight tear. So they're going to board the ship and they're going to be checked out. It wasn't since the Apollo mission. They used to, I think it was Apollo 14 the last time they actually quarantined astronauts following a space flight. So they won't be quarantined. Astronauts are always quarantined prior to flights. You don't want them sick up in space. So it's going to be interesting to see if we're able to actually hear from these astronauts right away. Maybe we will, maybe we won't. But many people are going to be watching. It's going to be live streamed by NASA, plus many other ways to watch it. What do we know about the communication blackout that takes place? Do we know why it happens, how long it is? And I have to imagine that's a very, very tense moment. Yeah, it's all about reentry and breaking into the atmosphere. And I...

That's as smart as I'm going to try to sound on it. And it wasn't very smart at all. That wasn't bad. I don't know. I don't know. I could Google it and get back to you. But, you know, it's just such a process where, you know, 25,000 miles per hour, 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit. And at some point, yeah, it's a blackout situation. But. I'm not a scientist, so I don't know. I'll be watching with you. Yeah, exactly. Someone will tell us along the way. It'll be just fine. We're on a need-to-know basis. Maybe they don't know why it happens. I don't know. It could be why we don't know. But, you know, it's interesting to me that this is really just like... It's like the first chapter of a really long book, it sounds like. Like we have big plans. It's like, get up there, get us some information because we want to turn around and go back and we want to have some people stay. And we want to figure out how to get to Mars. And we haven't been up there in a long time. And so it's really important that we get some people up there and gather some information so that we can be confident about the next step. I just got it for you. It's caused by extreme heat ionizing the surrounding air into dense plasma sheets that blocks radio signal. That sounds very smart. But yeah, I mean, they were, this was a science mission. I mean, they studied so much up there. They studied the effects of humans in space. you know, sleep, stress, cognitive performance, immune system changes. They looked at cardiovascular, nutritional, and ocular health. This, again, yeah, it's all to gather information as we look to travel to the moon and to Mars soon. And then, you know, they also studied the moon based on what they could do. They observed and studied the moon. They documented craters and ancient lava flows. The technology's got to be massively better from the last time we went. Obviously, we've seen unbelievable pictures, but everything's got to be more technologically advanced. Huge. I don't know if I mentioned, I don't know if I mentioned the artists to the laser base. Did I, did I mention the laser base communications? Yeah, that's, yeah, that's fascinating. That's 240,000 miles away. And they were able to, you know, to send this information off just like, you know, no problem. And so, yeah, communication is key. Obviously, you know, that communication and technology is just so. It's just so much better than it was in decades past. And that's only going to help make these astronauts a lot safer as they complete this mission. Absolutely. Jeff Manasse, Fox News correspondent, WGR contributor. Thanks so much. Enjoy, enjoy watching tonight.

You bet. All right. Yeah, it's going to be so much going on behind the scenes. And there's going to be so much pressure and concern as this thing happens. And I hope we just sit back and watch this beautiful splashdown that goes perfectly well. It all goes down at 807 our time. Quick break. We'll be right back. It's all talk. I'm Kevin Deetz. Welcome into the 10 o'clock hour of all talk. I hope you're having a fabulous Friday morning. I'm Kevin Dietz, along with Marie Osborne, bringing you the latest headlines and the stories that everyone is talking about. The federal judge has ruled that the Pentagon violated a court order requiring it to restore access for journalists. U.S. District Judge Paul Friedman said the Defense Department was actively obstructing reporters covering the military. He called the Pentagon's actions a blatant attempt to get around a lawful court ruling. The case stems from restrictions placed on journalists under new press access policies. The Pentagon argues it complied with the order and plans to appeal the decision. News organizations, including the New York Times, say the revised rules still limit press freedom and access. The ruling intensifies the ongoing battle between government control and First Amendment protections. First Lady Melania Trump blasting lies linking me to the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein. That's a direct quote. Lides linking me to a disfrey. Grace Jeffrey Epstein. In extraordinary and rare remarks from the White House on Thursday, she attempted to distance herself from the convicted sex offender while calling on Congress to hold public hearings following his victims to testify on Capitol Hill. That call for action directly undercut ongoing messaging from her husband, President Trump, and the West Wing, renewing attention on a topic that was fading from public disclosure. in discourse amid the war with Iran. President Trump and his top lieutenants have sought to downplay Epstein and his victims, and they have repeatedly and publicly stated that the country is ready to move on from the Epstein files. Let's listen to a little of Melania. The lies linking me with the disgraceful Jeffrey Epstein need to end today. I do not object to their ignorance, but rather... I reject their mean-spirited attempts to defame my reputation. I never been friends with Epstein. I call on Congress to provide the women who have been victimized by Epstein with a public hearing. specifically centered around the survivors. They caught a lot of people by surprise that she came out. And it was very formal. I mean, she did it, you know, at the podium with the flags behind her. It was really obviously a punctuation mark on the statement that she wanted to make. A lot of people really agree with her saying that, yeah, they need to have hearings and they need to be focused on the victims of Jeffrey Epstein. Right. New inflation data is expected to show rising prices tied to the Iran conflict. Economist forecast consumer prices increased 3.3% year over year in March. Gas prices have climbed above $4 per gallon, driven by oil, near $98 a barrel. Higher energy costs could ripple into food and transportation prices. The White House says the spike is temporary and not a long-term inflation threat.

Core inflation, excluding food and energy, is rising more slowly. Still, Americans may begin to feel broader cost increases beyond the pump. The U.S. Postal Service is taking emergency steps to avoid a cash crunch. The Postal Service says it's temporarily suspending its employer contributions to federal retirement annuities. A move officials say will allow the agency to keep paying payroll, paying suppliers, and delivering the mail. The decision will take effect today. The U.S.PS chief financial officer, Luke Grossman, told employees the move is meant to preserve cash amid what he calls money. ongoing severe financial crisis. And in a separate move, the Postal Service is seeking higher postage rates, including an increase in the price of a first class forever stamp from 78 to 82 cents pending regulatory approval. The White House has issued a warning to staff about insider trading risks. Officials were told not to use confidential information for financial trades or bets. The warning follows reports of unusual trading activity tied to Iran-related decisions. Data shows a spike in oil futures trading just before a major presidential announcement. Lawmakers have raised concerns about potential misuse of insider knowledge. The message also addresses betting on prediction markets tied to political events. The situation is drawing scrutiny as these. markets grow in popularity. Speaking of betting, a lot of people betting on who will win the Masters. Let's bring in Steve Courtney, WJR Sports Analyst, who's following it for us. Hey, Steve. Hey, good morning, Kev, Marie. Happy Friday, everybody. Yeah, second round action at Augusta is underway. A beautiful day in progress. 63 degrees right now. It's only going to get warmer. And again, there is no chance of rain throughout the entire weekend. So what does that mean? It means conditions. at Augusta will be even more challenging than perhaps they were in yesterday's round one. You take a look at the leaderboard going into today's second round. Sam Burns, the young fella out of LSU, he's at five under. Guess what? So is your defending champion, Rory McElroy. Rory going off at 144. Sam Burns, he'll start his second round at 1232 this afternoon. Wyndham Clark making some noise. early in this second round. He is at three under for the tournament. He's at three under for his second round through eight holes. Elsewhere, you've got Jason Day putting up a nice round. He's at three under par. He'll go off at 1256. Patrick Reed, the former live guy, he is at three under. He'll go off at 108. Shane Lauer, he's at two under par. Zander Schauchley is also at two under. World number one, Scotty Schaeffler, had not played in just about a month. He finishes his first round at two under. He is looking for rarefied air getting his third green jacket. Jim Jordan Speath trying to get his game together. His first round ends at one under par. He is actually one under just starting his second round through the first hole. It was a long day for the live representatives. Bubba Watson, former Masters champion. He finished

finishes at plus four, so does Bryson de Chambot. He finishes at four over par as well. A lot of conversation going in, you know, he's the mad scientist. He actually utilized a five iron. that he got from a 3D printer. How about that? Not a good first round. Three bogies and then a triple on the par 411s. John Rom, former Masters champion, oh dear, plus six. His second round just underway. He is even through the first hole. But yesterday, four bogeys and a double on the par 5.13th. So lots of action coming up throughout the weekend. It's going to be something to behold again. Conditions are going to be absolutely fantastic. By the way, Kev, something to keep an eye on. Robert McIntyre, the Scott, he could be facing disciplinary action after he was seen issuing the middle finger. during a quadruple boge he directed the gesture toward the 15th green the par five he took a nine and those that are in charge of this esteemed tournament do not look kindly on acts like that so it's going to be interesting to see how the powers that be handle that Well, Steve, you know, you having a hole in one in your history books, you probably have never, you probably never had the trouble Deschambeau had on that hole. He was in the trap, the same trap, three shots. Did you see that? I don't know if I've ever seen that from a proud. No, not at all. And, you know, Bryson looked at is to be one of the favorites going into the 90th Masters. And clearly, he's got a lot of work to do. But you look at a guy like Justin Rose, one of the fan favorites. He is one under par. He is plus one as he begins his second round. I'm rooting for a guy like Gary Woodland. You know, very emotional win at the Houston Open. Right. battled with the brain surgery and then he's been quite honest about his PTSD and what he endures round in round out he's at one under his second round getting underway very shortly six minutes as a matter of fact at 1019 Steve Courtney WJR sports sales we appreciate it have a fabulous weekend yeah you folks as well it's all talk I'm Kevin Deetz It's all talk on a Friday morning. I'm Kevin D. It's coming to you from the Golden Tower of the Fisher Building. The number is 1-800-8-5-9-0-9-7, 1-800-5-0-WJR. We're going to take your calls and read your text at 1035, so pick up the phone and be a part of the show. The NFL, now under investigation by the Department of Justice over whether its media and streaming deals have driven up subscription costs for fans.

For decades, you could turn on your TV and watch games for free. Now, you might need multiple subscriptions just to follow your own team. So the question is simple, but the legal implications are not. Is the NFL innovating or is it squeezing fans and limiting competition? Let's bring in Rick Chris, Senior Vice President of Counsel for DietSports and Entertainment. Good morning. How are you? Hey, Kevin. Doing great. How are you doing? I'm doing pretty good. I'm not in the mood to learn how to subscribe and unsubscribe and do a temporary 30-day trial. It seems like a lot. I just let me watch football. As we were talking before, this is what our kids are for, Kevin. Right, exactly. That's why, you know, it used to be the kids tried to stay close to you, so you know, you might help them out with a bill or two. Now they have all the power. We can't work our remote control unless the kids come over.

probably here is that the NFL is so popular. I mean, every one of these streaming services wants a game, right? Like Netflix is going to say, what, the top, out of the top 100 shows every year? 93. 93 of them are a football game, right? An NFL game, exactly right. I can't, I don't know how many streaming services I could name, but Netflix. Apple, Paramount, Hulu, I don't know. They all want a piece of an NFL game, so they're probably all willing to overpay for some amount of games, and just so that people will remember their name and hopefully subscribe to their service. But that's a great place for the NFL to be, to have all of these streaming agencies desperately wanting your content. Absolutely. I mean, you're talking about the biggest companies in the world here. So there's no question that legislation developed in 1961. A little outdated? Like needs, a little dated. And I think with that, there'll be a more current approach that will try to balance all these considerations. Streaming's not going away. No. But sort of the... the price of entry on it, the cover charge on it, and how much leverage. You know, we've seen it with big antitrust suits before, whether it's, you know, Apple and its browser or Microsoft, you know, whatever it might be. So I do think this is very much impactful news. I think this is a story that will continue to be out there over the next. you know, nine to 12 months, as I mentioned, the NFL is going into, it wants to extend its media agreements early here, given the market. And it'll have impacts not only for professional football, but also for college football as well. Yeah, it's interesting to me. I don't know if they'll come up with some sort of solution where they'll, not that the streaming services will merge, but if you have one. You know, if you have YouTube, you'll be able to watch something that's on Apple or some sort of thing. I mean, at some point, you don't want to upset the fans to a point where it really cost you. I think back to, I don't remember what year, but there's a lockout in baseball. And all of a sudden said, people said, I guess I don't have to watch baseball. I'll watch something else. Yeah, yeah, be careful what you wish for on this stuff. And I think the NFL will be savvy about that. And you can be really savvy when you've got that type of market power. So I think good for Senator Lee to be pushing on this. And I think fans' voices will be heard. And you'll see accommodation, certainly.

I think when all of a sudden done. So mostly you'll be able to catch your home team. This is mostly going to impact people who just can't get enough football beyond their home team. You already have that. Like every home game is available on free, quote, free to the consumer in their market. NBC or Fox or whatever. whatever it might be. And even when, you know, even when there's been a streamed game, there's been an over-the-air companion to that in the home market. So this is really beyond that. And yet, you know, again, how we consume our media content and people's expectations are different than they were in 1961. So I think there is a feeling like, I should be able to get to any game that I want to get to. Right, right. At an affordable price. Well, I just bought the Detroit Tigers Red Wings package for about $180 or whatever it is. So I find myself now going there first to see if there's a game on sale. I get my return on investment back. The way they've been playing lately, I feel it a little. A little down on my investment. You're going to be a great first-person source on it. Right? I'm telling you. Exactly, exactly. Well, Rick Chris, Senior Vice President of Council for Deed Sports and Entertainment, really appreciate you coming on. Thanks so much. Absolutely. All right. Have a great weekend. Watch some Masters. It's free. Yeah, these cable service, I don't know. I love watching football. I really do. But I don't think I want to subscribe to seven different streaming services to be able to watch all of the games. I think I'm going to end up watching whatever they offer for free, and that's it. And they're going to lose, you know, an opportunity. to have people like me watch multiple games on multiple days. And there's football Thursday, Friday, Thursday, Saturday, Sunday. I mean, Monday, you know, they are covering the calendar pretty well. It's obviously huge business for the NFL. They just got to be careful not to push us too far away. All right. Your calls are next. 1-800-8-5-9-0-W-JR. It's all talk. I'm Kevin Deetz. All right, it is 1035, and that means it is your turn to talk. 1,800-859-0-957, 1-800-8-5-9-0-WJR. What do you want to talk about this morning? We started out talking about the 25th Amendment. Democrats are pushing. They want an impeachment or they want Donald Trump taken out. with the 25th Amendment. If the United States Congress has any life left in it, every member of Congress and Senator must be calling for Trump's removal today based on the 25th Amendment. He's threatening the entire destruction of a civilization. He is calling Iranians animals. He is showing a total disregard for the humanity of people.

Democrats must proceed with the filing of the impeachment articles. We need to work as hard as we can to put the Republican Party, which is morally. bankrupt, which is spineless, which wants to be in a witness protection program, even as moral atrocities are being planned in their name. We must proceed towards the goal of removing Donald Trump from office, and we must do this now, and that has to be the Democratic agenda. But they don't have the votes, so what is the point? And it's not just Donald Trump they're going after. But we're working on this. Watch. Watch this. Kristi Noem is gone. Pam Bondi is gone. And Pete Hegseth is next up. All right. We also talked about Artemis. Two, the splashdown is scheduled for 807 tonight. How do you feel about that mission? Is this worthwhile? Is this something you're excited about? I heard a lot of people say, it's just a waste of money. Why are we bothering with this? Well, I don't know. I kind of like the idea of getting back up there, seeing what's going on, taking a look at things. differently after all these years with all the new technology we have. They also want to have people stay on the moon as they prepare to figure out how to get to Mars. Do you like space exploration? Are you in favor of spending money that way? Or is it just a big... Waste of money. We waste money on a lot of other things that are worse than that. We waste money on just the fraud and abuse and all of that would pay for that. We spent a lot of money on a lot of things. I don't know if too many people would really be opposed to the spending money for space. I think that's probably a small percentage of people. I agree, and I think a lot of people are behind this, even if they're not necessarily talking about it as much as we think. I think this is something because of everything else going on in the world. I think a lot of people are behind this. People like it. It's fun. It's cool. It's different. It's something to track. We're seeing new pictures that are unbelievable. And just watching astronauts in space and zero gravity float around and let something go and try and catch it. I mean, it's fun. And I. I think that everybody to a degree, at least I can, I mean, I know I have, you start wondering, would I want to do this? Would I want to risk my life here with my family? You know, you start kind of putting yourself in the astronaut's shoes of would it be worth going and doing something so different that such a small group of people get to do?

Yeah, I don't know how many civilians would be willing to do this, but astronauts who are in the program, they all wish they were there. They all would love to be a part of this. We're also talking about the NFL under investigation by the Department of Justice deal like this. The DOJ investigating the NFL for possible antitrust violations, fans being forced to subscribe to multiple streaming services in order to watch games. Has the NFL gone too far? Have they gotten too greedy? and does the government need to step in and put a stop to this? They haven't looked at these antitrust laws since the 60s. So with all that's going on with streaming and new technology and watching on your phone and all of this stuff, maybe it's time to reassess what should be done as far as antitrust laws and the NFL. Let's get things started in Dearborn with Roy. Roy, welcome to all talk. Yes, I am so tired of trying to figure out what station the Lions game was on. But anyway, we got rid of our cable. It was over 200. It's like, we're not paying for this. So we stream. And so with that, you can, it's like 60 bucks to stream, another 17 bucks for Netflix and nine bucks for prime. That's what I got. So anyway. Are you happy with it? Well, it's okay. So now you can watch your favorite show as soon as it's over. Right. And so that's what I would do. So I figured out, I went to YouTube and I watched the Lions game in an hour and 15 minutes. It took all the commercials out. But the game was over. Yeah, but you see every play. Yeah. That's hard for me to do. No, I mean, it was it was like I watched the whole game an hour and a half for the three hours. No, I get it. They took all the junk out of it, all the waiting and figuring it out. The penalty, it just boom, boom, boom. It wasn't bad. Did you already know the score? Did you already know the score of the game before? No, I told people don't call me. Yeah, see, that I could do. Like, I could watch a TV show after it's over. I don't need to watch a TV show live at all. I'm happy. I prefer to watch it later. But when it's a sporting event, and I already know the score, it's just not the same when I watch it back. You know what I mean? I know it. Yeah, but I'm not paying $230 a month. I know. I know. $89. I was paying $400 a month, and I had everything. I don't know. I had all the cable channels, all the, everything, all the streaming, everything. It was ridiculous. So I went through, I tried to shut it. I got it down to about $200 because I still have, I'm not, I didn't cut the court entirely. I cut it, I kept the court in one room of my house and I stream on all the other TVs. And, um, it, but I'm still finding almost every time someone says, hey, are you watching such and such? I'm like, I don't know. What is it on? And they'll mention some streaming service. And I'm like, I have several. I don't know. I have Paramount and Apple. And I don't know, but I don't have them all. And it really drives me crazy. And when they do that with sports, it's like, are you watching the game? I'm like, probably not because it's too much work to find it. And I think that's too bad. I hope they work through this and make it easier for the consumer. Thanks, Roy. I appreciate the call. Let's go out to Rochester and check it with Steve. Steve, welcome to all talk.

Hey, Kev, thanks for taking a call. You know, this is a war that needed to be fought. I am tired of the whining about gas prices and this and that in the account. Listen, the Democrats have shown their feeling on affordability. They're not paying union workers in the federal government. They shut it down. They're lying. Some of these people, whether they're elected or not, are committing treason. And it's tiring. And let me tell you, in World War II, you think our parents and grandparents were whining about this? They sacrificed. This generation doesn't know anything. This is a wicked enemy. Not the people of Iran, but the fanatics. You need to read what they did to the women there that protested. And nobody wants to say it. And I'm sick and tired of people that are supposed to defend the nation are criticizing. people defending it. Let me tell you something. Kristi Noem did a good job. She did a good job. I'm sorry she's gone. And it's tiring. And what you got, if you vote Democrat, you're putting us all in the trick bag. I think you will. But I'm telling you, they're out for power. This is terrible. I applaud. Now, that's a liberal term. I'm glad Trump's doing what he's doing. And we need to do more. And let me say you, they're putting the hurts to China and Russia in this. No, absolutely. Iran is in bed with China and Russia, and putting a stop to Iran. It was absolutely necessary. Donald Trump was the only president who was willing to do it. He's taking some heat for it. That's just the kind of president he is. It's all talk. I'm Kevin Deetz. It's all talk on a Friday morning. I'm Kevin Deetz coming to you from the Golden Tower of the Fisher Building. The number is 1-800-8-5-9-7, 1-800-8-9-0 WJR. Give us a text. Give us a call. Be a part of the show. One of the best traditions in all of sports is back. The Masters is underway at Augusta, and already we've got a packed leaderboard and a big storyline right at the top. Roy McElroy, the defending champion, is right there. Can he do it again? Of course, you can't rule out people like Scotty Sheffler. And what about those who blew up? Those storylines are just as interesting. Let's bring in Jim Jordan Young, Global Golf Director of Game Above and host of Spin on Golf right here on WJR. Good morning, Jim Jordan. How are you? Good morning, Kevin, on this Masters Friday. How's your day going? My goodness, I love it. I'm recording the Masters right now at home. I'll go back home and I'll start it from the beginning, but at some point I'll speed up to real time. Yesterday was awesome. I don't know what it is. It's just like, all right, the Masters is here. I'm ready for golf. I'm ready for spring. Let's go. I got a question for me. Do you like the, I know, you know all the ways to watch masters.org, you watch 12 channel and all that stuff. Do you like how they do the leaderboard?

on all their software, it's kind of confusing. But I like it. It's old school, but it's kind of hard to follow. I know. Well, I tell you, I save all my complaints for all of that stuff for LiveGolf because I can't get used to the shotgun start over there. The leaderboard is confusing to me. So I can handle this, but it is a little more confusing. Do you want, will you watch the like, best pairings instead of watching the actual coverage. Because I thought that I would love that. But I found myself that I actually just prefer the way it has always been done, where you watch them as they go around. Yeah, I mean, I'm guilty yesterday of having it on my iPad, maybe on my laptop, and I had on the Golf Channel 2. So I had a... little triple effects going. And I like to hear all the stories, the back stories. I mean, especially Jim Nance was on. And he was talking about, you know, Vern Lundquist and the history there. And he had 40 years. And this was actually going to be. you know, Nancy's 40th year. Right. And he started when he was 26. I didn't realize that, but he started when he was 26 and got thrown on 16 and was announcing when Jack Nichols won that year, the Golden Bear. Wow. And so just to see him, like, one of the best announcers ever in sport and, you know, I could put Mr. Tariko in there as well. But Jim Nance, like he's the guy and he's getting all emotional. He's almost elevating off of his chair talking about the masters and how excited he is to be there. And he's talking about it just at the end of the range with what the guys on Golf Channel. I mean, it's special. I think the stories are fantastic. And I guess what I like about it is you don't rush through golf, you know. It's sort of a slow ease into the day afternoon. It's multiple days. It's not the Kentucky Derby. It's not, you know, a minute 30. Let's go. Let's see who wins, you know. And these storylines develop over the days, you know. And watching. Look, watching Rom's struggle yesterday and Deschambeau's struggle yesterday, I think that's as interesting as watching McElroy or Sheffler do well. Yeah, it was interesting. I didn't get a chance to catch a lot of the afternoon rounds, but yeah, I certainly saw the interviews at the end of the night, late night. And, you know, I saw Rob's interview, and I saw DeCambeau's interview. And they both weren't very happy. Yeah, Deschambeau three shots out of the same sand. Now that, see, now that's something I've never done because if I miss it twice, I pick up and just say, give me a triple bogey. Yeah, that might not go too well with the tournament committee over there in Augustin National. He just picks up and says, give me an eight. But yeah, and then they asked him about the sand. He goes, well, the sand wasn't, the sand was fluffier or softer than I anticipated. And he kind of bit his.

bit his lip. But he was, he was bitter. I mean, he, that's the crankiest I've seen him in a long time. And, uh, understandably so. I don't think four over was, was where he wanted to be when I think he was probably, you know, second or third odd favorite to compete for the championship. Yeah, it reminded me when he was fighting with Kepka. He has a, he's been, he's been a pretty good mood since those days. Boy. Yeah. Uh, what do you think of the, what do you think of the course? It looks, uh, it looks pretty tough. I mean, some of those pin placements were, were pretty rough. You know, the place is usually immaculate. I mean, you know, the only issues is, is it going to rain? Is it going to be soft? Is it going to be fast? Is the wind going to kick up? Right. And, you know, this year, it seems like it's going to play firmer and faster and get a little bit firmer and faster as the days go by. The weather looks warm, so that will change the, you know, the greens. But more importantly, the fairways. You know, they can control. the greens with the subsystem, the air system, and the filtration system all from a phone. That probably blows a lot of people's mind, but they can change the golf course within about a couple hours in the greens, which is crazy. But the fairways are faster. That doesn't mean it's going to be easier. I think it makes a little bit more of a test for sure, especially around the greens. But it all comes down to Sunday. You know, usually Saturday afternoon and Sunday. Things start to take shape, and you never know. I mean, look at Rory. Rory's off to a great start. He's probably feeling a little bit more relaxed than usual. He even said after his round yesterday, he wasn't going to go to the range. He was going to go up to the champion's locker room and maybe have a little squeak. So, you know, things have changed in Rory's life, too. Well, yeah, winning last year was a big deal. He probably does feel a little more relaxed. But that golf course, I tell you, it has a way of catching people where all of a sudden they're moving around it just fine, and then they tighten up. And, you know, we've seen so many players, so many great players, sort of choke, I guess you might say. Yeah, well, yeah. I mean, you can call it choke. Look, it's golf. I mean, it's every shot you hit is like trying to sink that free throw with no time on the clock to tie or to win. And it's every shot you hit. So, I mean, you put that into perspective. It's not an easy game. Yeah, these guys are the best players in the world, but they're also dealing with demons in their head. And they have the mechanics to try to correct those things. But it's not that easy. They're human as well. So. You talk about being in a flow state or the zone. And if you're lucky enough to get in that space when you're at Augusta, if you're in the event, good for you. But I think, you know, if guys are playing well, they're controlling their spin rates and the reception on the green, then they're going to do pretty well. Roy said he was off when he started and he finally got it back. And then you got a guy like Deschambeau, say he's been hitting it great, hitting his iron's great. And he said he. He didn't hit his irons very well at all. So it just depends. And I think patience is key. You've heard that word a lot this week. Right. You know, guys just trying to stay in the mix. Underpar around yesterday, it was really good, especially in the afternoon. It was a lot tougher with the wind.

So we'll see what happens today. It's always fun to see how it shapes up. Yeah. Scotty Sheffle, he just had another kid. Do you think players at certain times in their careers want it more or want it less? Or do you think they always lock in no matter what when the Masters comes to town? Well, I think there's probably some planning when the couples try to have kids that maybe they don't try to have the birthday around the Masters if they're in the Masters. Right. So, I mean, Schaeffler's a pretty calculated and very planned and detailed guy. So I'm surprised it was that close to the Masters. Right. But no, I don't think it matters. I mean, look at Fleetwood's little guy Frankie. Right, right. He was unbelievable. I mean, he was getting interviewed. So fun. Laura was interviewed. It was so fun to hear him talk and how he talked and how pristine and perfectly sounded. Absolutely. What is he? Like nine years old or something, 10 years old. He's got it going on. Jim Jordan Young, Global Golf Director of Game Above, a host of Spin on Golf on WJR. Thanks so much. Okay, thanks. It's all talk. I'm Kevin Deeds. Welcome into the 11 o'clock hour of all talk. I hope you're having a fabulous Friday. Kevin Dietz, along with Marie Osborne, bringing you the latest headlines and the stories that everyone is talking about. I want to take a moment and just say, welcome home job well done, because right now, four astronauts are on their way back to Earth after doing something that not that long ago felt almost impossible. The mission, Artemis II, wasn't just another trip into space. It was a 10-day, 695,000-mile journey around the moon and back. And here's why that matters. For the first time, in more than 50 years, human beings traveled out beyond the moon, saw the far side, the part no one on Earth ever gets to see. And then turned around and came home. They went farther from Earth than any humans ever have, further than Apollo 13, further than any mission. And they did it not just to prove that we can go, but to prove we're ready to go back and this time to stay. This is the beginning of the next chapter. The moon is no longer the destination. It's the training ground because what Artemis is really about is Mars. But before we get there, you've got to make sure you can send people out that far and bring them home safely. And that's where we are right now. In just hours, that Orion capsule is going to hit Earth's atmosphere at thousands of miles per hour. Temperatures outside pushing 3,000 degrees. Communication is going dark for a few minutes. And then, if everything goes right, and we pray it does, parachutes deploy, slowing them down from 300 miles an hour to about 17 miles per hour and splash down into the Pacific Ocean. Waiting for them, recovery teams, helicopters, a Navy ship. Eventually, they get a ride home. They're back to Earth, back to their families, back to all of us. And here's the part I keep thinking about. We talk about space like it's routine now. Launches happen all the time. Rockets go up, satellites go out, and we move on. But this is different. These are human beings sitting on top of physics, trust, and thousands of people doing their jobs perfectly.

Also, we can push just a little further into the unknown. And they did it. They made the trip. They did their work. They carried all of us with them, whether we're paying attention or not. So this morning before the noise of the day, just for a second, look up. And remember, we're still doing big things. We're still exploring. We're still capable of something extraordinary. So to the crew, welcome home. You did your job. You made history. And we can't wait to watch you splash down. Currently expected at 8.07 p.m. our time. Marie, it's going to be fun. It is going to be fun, and I'm going to be glued to the set. This reminds me of the old days when we were kids. Right. You know, the return really was a big deal, watching them. Wheel a TV into the classroom. Yes, yes, yes. And, you know, watching them splash down. I always remember thinking that they had to. be ill just bobbing around in the water. Sometimes it took a while, right, for the ship to get out there. We understand that the Navy is already in that area waiting for splashdown, so they're all set. So welcome home and we'll be watching. The Lincoln Park Police Department is investigating whether one of its officers used license plate reader technology to assist with immigration enforcement. Deputy Police Chief Patrick Coulter says the department has launched an internal review to figure out whether... search was conducted on February 18th of last year, and if so, why did that happen? The investigation follows a media report which obtained records showing several law enforcement agencies nationwide looking at license plate reader databases for immigration-related reasons. According to that report, two searches were tied to Lincoln Park Police. On that same date listed, Border Patrol T.S. as the reason. Lincoln Park's population is roughly 26% Hispanic based on census estimates. Now, Coulter says that the department currently does not have a written policy governing the use of these license plate readers for immigration enforcement. And of course, this is right on the tail of the Oakland County Board of Commissioners voting to allow the Sheriff's Department to pilot drones in a nine-month free trial period with flock group, this national company that uses AI power cameras. And one of the concerns there, of course, is Kevin, that this information would be used for things like immigration enforcement. And we're going to do a deep dive with Paris Lubel, Public Relations Manager for flock safety coming up at 1118. So we will ask all of those important questions. Democratic lawmakers have introduced new articles of impeachment against President Donald Trump and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth. The move comes as nearly 100 Democrats are also calling for Trump's removal using the 25th Amendment.

Rep. John Larson filed 13 articles accusing Trump of abusing war powers and continuing unlawful military actions. This is Representative Ro Khanna. If the United States Congress has any life left in it, every member of Congress and Senator must be calling for Trump's removal today based on the 25th Amendment. He is threatening the entire destruction of a civilization. He is calling Iranians animals. He is showing a total disregard for the humanity of people. If they can't get them on the 25th Amendment, they say they'll get them on impeachment. This is Senator Ed Markey. Democrats must proceed with the filing of the impeachment articles. We need to work as hard as we can to put the Republican Party, which is morally. bankrupt, which is spineless, which wants to be in a witness protection program, even as moral atrocities are being planned in their name. We must proceed towards the goal of removing Donald Trump from office, and we must do this now, and that has to be the Democratic agenda. And they want to impeach, Hakeem Jeffries says they want to impeach Pete Hegseth as well. But we're working on this. Watch, watch this. Kristi Noem is gone. Pam Bondi is gone. And Pete Hegseth is next up. But they don't have the votes for it. So it may just be a lot of talk to fire up the base before the midterm primaries. Marie? President Trump's administration is acknowledging a major error tied to a federal fraud probe of New York's Medicaid program and admission that's raising new questions about the scope of the administration's nationwide anti-fraud campaign. This is the claim. The claims were made last month by Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services Administrator, Dr. Mehmet Oz, who said nearly three quarters of New York's Medicaid enrollees received personal care services last year. The actual number, about 450,000 people, roughly 6 to 7%. CMS now says it misapplied billing codes and has refined its methodology. Health policy analysts say the... mistake could have been cleared up by quickly calling and making one simple phone call. State official pushed back pretty sharply with Governor Kathy Hochul's office calling the original claim patently false while reaffirming zero tolerance for fraud.

Oil shipments are slowly restarting through the critical straits of Hermuz. Only a limited number of vessels have passed since the ceasefire began. President Trump criticized Iran's handling of traffic and warned against delays. There is a massive backlog of oil waiting to move through the region. Alternative routes exist but cannot handle full global demand. Trump says oil will begin flowing normally again soon with or without Iran. The situation remains a key factor in the global energy markets. Jamie Ding, a former standout pupil at a Michigan high school, continued to dominate Jeopardy. Thursday winning his 20th consecutive game. I'm a big fan. I hope others out there are, too. He's now tied for the seventh most wins. The seventh, most wins in the history of that long-running TV show. He ranks sixth in terms of total prize winnings. On Thursday's episode, he got another $33,027 in winnings. That gives him... a 20-day total of $572,600,000. So he's really racking up the wins here. The record for the most Jeopardy wins, of course, is by the current host, Ken Jennings. He won 74 straight games in 2004. He got $2.5 million. Ding is a former student from Gross Point North High School. The principal there said he's been watching the run. And he says, I remember Jamie well as a brilliant young man, excellent student. You got to go interview this principal and then this kid when he's done with this run. This is fabulous story. Wonderful stuff. We got to take a quick break. It's all talk. I'm Kevin Deetz.

It's All Talk on a Friday morning. I'm Kevin D. It's coming to you from the Golden Tower of the Fisher Building. The number is 1-800-8559-0-9-7, 1-800-9-0-WJR. We're going to take your calls and read your text at 1135. So pick up the phone and be a part of the show. Across Oakland County, police departments are using license plate reader cameras from flock safety and now expanding into drone technology as well. Supporters say this is helping solve crimes faster, find missing people, and keeping communities safer. Critics say this is surveillance. Let's bring in Paris Lubel from flock safety. Good morning. How are you? Hey, Kevin, good morning. How are you? I'm doing great. Appreciate you being here. Let's start from the beginning. For people who don't really understand this, know what it is, tell us what we're talking about. Yes, the flock license plate reader cameras are used to help law enforcement investigate and solve crimes, things like stolen vehicles, burglaries, assaults, missing people, and then other serious crimes. Now, the cameras themselves are purpose-built to take pictures of the rear vehicles and capture license plates along with key identifying details like the make, model, color, and unique features. And that really helps law enforcement be able to use those specifics to investigate crimes that happen in a particular area. Do they take pictures of every car that goes through a certain area or do when something happens, do they pop on? How does it work? It takes pictures of every car that passes by the camera and then law enforcement, when they're actually investigating the crime, can go into the system and actually search for either a specific license plate or the vehicle characteristics. I'll give you an example of why that's important. And a lot of instances when a crime occurs, a witness or a victim, just knows kind of the destruction. of the vehicle, thing like white SUV. So law enforcement can then go into the system, select a specific area, type those characteristics like a white SUV in a specific time frame, and then be able to get vehicles that match that description and continue their investigation. It's not any information that somebody standing on the side of the road wouldn't be able to see. It's just your basic, what does the car look like? What is the license plate? That's correct. Exactly if you took an iPhone camera or just what you can see with your own two eyes, any vehicle that passes. And then it's again taking the picture of the rear of the vehicle and that government issued license plate. Does it? How is the accuracy? Like if I'm taking a picture with my phone, it may be blurry, I may get, I don't know, I may not be able to see the whole picture. Is it, is it, what's the accuracy level of it? It's extremely accurate. The technology itself has really become a game changer for law enforcement. And overall, it's helped solve more than 10% of reported crime in the U.S.

So how long is the data stored for? If something happened two weeks ago, could law enforcement go back and take a look at it? Yeah, by default data is stored for 30 days unless it's part of an active investigation. So as part of an active investigation, law enforcement would download that piece of evidence and then add it to the case file that they would then use for prosecution standpoint. And how is it shared or secured or actually both? So we'll start off by the data. All local agencies that have flat cameras fully own and control 100% of the data that's collected from their cameras. No outside agency can access that data unless the agency explicitly chooses to share it. And in some instances, agencies may not choose to share their data at all, but some may choose to share it with maybe their regional partners. So city police department could share it with their local sheriff's office. They can also choose to share on the statewide and nationwide networks. Now, does this technology use AI at all? It does. It uses machine learning for specifically determining those vehicle characteristics. So, again, if it's a white SUV or if it's a pickup truck, that's all through our machine learning technology. Okay, so people have raised concerns about tracking people. What is the company's response to those concerns? So Floss license plate readers do not and cannot track vehicles as much less individual people. The LPRs take a point in time image of the rear vehicles traveling on a public roadway. They're incapable of tracking a whole of anyone's movements. So once that point in time image is taken, you don't know if that vehicle turned left, if it turned right, if it stopped at a specific location. And that determination about tracking the whole of anyone's movements has been consistently held up by more than 30 courts across the country that is not able to, again, track anybody a whole of anyone's. movements. What safeguards are in place to prevent false identification or possibly misused by people? So on false identification, the Pictures themselves, we always tell law enforcement to make sure they're confirming the information that's thrown away. So law enforcement, if they're alerted to a stolen vehicle, for instance, passing by the camera, they're given a picture of the actual vehicle, and then they can determine through other databases that law enforcement has access to to make sure that that vehicle is reported stolen and they can then take law enforcement action. And then when it comes to safeguards just built within the system, we voluntarily built an audit trail into the system. Everything is in a permanent audit log. So when anybody uses the system, there's a trail that shows exactly what they searched, who searched it, and when they searched it. We have seen reports of errors leading to wrong stops. How does that happen and how do we address that risk? Again, it goes to confirming the information from the license plate readers. Law enforcement has access to a number of different databases. The flock system itself does not have access to driver information. It does not have any personal identifying information within the actual flock system. So when it has a license plate that is flagged.

through a, like a stolen vehicle or maybe a vehicle that's wanted in connection to an Amber Alert or Silver Alert, law enforcement then goes and confirms that information in their law enforcement databases. How widely is the system being used, like say Oakland County, is it on just major intersections? Is it on many, many intersections or roads? So each department is different in the way they deploy it. In the state of Michigan, we are partnered with more than 180 law enforcement agencies. Now, Drones is the next step. People seem to have a little more concern about drones than license plate readers. What is the plan for drones? How would those be used? Yes. The first responder program helps law enforcement agencies respond to emergency calls more quickly and safely. And so I'll give you how this works in actual practice. A 911 call comes in for an incident like a robbery, for instance. The drone operator can go into the system, see that robbery call automatically come in from the 911 system, and they can push a button. The drone will launch over and fly directly over that location, being able to give law enforcement a bird's eye view of exactly what's happening. The drone can get there in about 90 seconds, which is often far faster than a officer can on the ground. Are these drones live streaming? Are they recording or and do they respond just to the specific calls or do they patrol general areas? So they just respond to specific calls for service. They do live stream to the actual drone operator. And then they can also live stream to responding units or to command staff members in the field to actually get a bird's eye view of exactly what's happening. And that's especially useful in critical incidents. If there's a major incident occurring somewhere in the county and there's. You know, for instance, maybe the SWAT teams responding. They can get a bird's eye view and get more actionable information about actually what's happening on the ground to help them deploy more accurately, more efficiently, and more safely. Do you have data on actual results or reduction of crime? It's really about getting that key piece of information to law enforcement quickly when they're responding to a call for service. You know, when you're over the scene within 90 seconds on a scene like a robbery, for instance, you may be able to get information about a suspect vehicle. You may be able to get information about the suspect. And if that person were to drive off, for instance, the drone can follow them and allow law enforcement to intercept them when that occurs. It also helps for other first responders.

Seems like maybe a structure fire is ongoing. Oftentimes, 9-1 centers will get numerous calls for their smoke in the area. And traditionally, fire trucks, police officers would drive around a specific area, look for that smoke, and then, you know, they would have to respond. Now you can launch a drone over there and then be able to actually look specifically where that fire is coming from, direct units to the location. Harris Lubel, public relations manager for flock safety. Thanks for walking us through it. We appreciate you. Absolutely. Thank you very much. All right. What do you think? Your calls are next. 1-800-8-5-9-0-5-0-0-WJR. It's all talk. I'm Kevin Deetz. And it is 1136. That means it is your turn to talk. 1-800-9-057, 1-8-9-57, 1-800-8-9-0-WJR. We've been talking about Artemis 2 splashdown scheduled for 807 tonight. Are you going to watch? Do you think it's worth the money? We've been talking about the 25th Amendment. The Democrats are fired up. They want to impeach Donald Trump or get them out with the 25th Amendment. They don't have the votes for it, though. So is it just talk to rile up the base? They're talking a lot about it. And the NFL under investigation by the Department of Justice for possible antitrust violations. They're forcing fans to subscribe to multiple streaming services in order to watch their product. And the DOJ thinks they might be violating the law. Have they gone too far? And we just talked about this. A packed intense Oakland County Commission meeting erupted in booze and shouting after officials approved a new police drone program. Commissioners voted 14 to 4 in favor to move forward with a nine-month pilot program using drones for emergency response and law enforcement. The decision. to delay the public comment until after the vote, it angered residents who felt shut out of the process. They had something to say about this and they wanted to be heard before a vote took place. That did not happen. And so they started booing the commissioners. The drones will be used for 911 calls, missing person searches, and suspect tracking with a potential $2.5 million cost if the program is extended. Officials say the program. will improve response times in public safety, citing past rescue operations. Many residents, however, they raise concerns about surveillance, privacy, and potential misuse of the technology. 1-800-859-0957. You can text as well, 1-800-959-0-WJ. Let's get started with Nicholas in Waterford. Nicholas, welcome to all talk. Good morning, Kevin. Thank you for taking my call. I oppose that. I think it's, I wouldn't have said that years ago, but now that I see the way the government handles the EPSC file, the Charlie Kirk investigation, I don't trust them anymore. And the last thing I want is to give them more power because I foresee that it's going to be used for abusing their authority in the near future. So my vote is no and absolutely.

It should be moved back, repealed, and the Oakland County Commissioner should be fired. Yeah, Nicholas, I tell you, I kind of feel like you did. You know, I was a huge proponent of the Patriot Act after 9-11. I said, whatever it takes to stop terrorism in this country, we need to do it. And I understood that the Patriot Act would take away some of my privacy, maybe a lot of my privacy, but I thought that it was necessary. And I look at this, and my initial reaction is, gosh, this is great. If somebody, you know, some parent is going through a divorce and they take their kid and they try to leave town, you know, these cameras might be able to find them quickly. If somebody just... was involved in a school shooting, God forbid, and they're on the run, and these license plate trackers can track the car and the drones can get up and find them. How fabulous is that? And I just feel like, well, I'm not doing anything wrong, so it doesn't really matter. But to your point, Nicholas, I do worry about the possible misuse of this technology. How do we know they're going to really just use it for what they say they're going to use it for? Nicholas, could you see a situation where they drone operators decide to go off grid and they got these things up in the air and they start spying on, I don't know, their old girlfriends or who knows what for why? Maybe someone pays them to spy on somebody who's running for office. I don't know. I know a lot of bad things could happen with it. Yes, I wouldn't be worried about that individual example. I would be more concerned about more nefarious use of that to silence opposition in the political realm and really. So I think that's the way it's being brought up and pushed by the county is not right and should be reversed and sanctioned and punished. Thank you, Nicholas. I appreciate you listening and I appreciate your point of view. I still think I lean towards being able to use this because I think the use outweighs the abuse. I think that, you know, solving crimes faster. is really important. Every second counts. And if you can use a plate reader to find somebody and then get a drone up to locate where they are and bring somebody who's dangerous into custody quickly, I think that could really help. I know they could use this stuff for stolen cars. You know, you report your car is stolen. You put the license plate out there and they turn these.

plate readers on and all of a sudden they get a ding and they know right where your, right where your car is. Missing person cases, if somebody disappeared, walked out of the house, was confused. They put a drone up and be able to find them, especially in cold weather. So I see a lot of the good in this and just the fact that it acts as a deterrent. If people know that these cameras are out there and they know these drones are out there, it might stop. the crimes from happening in the first place. What do you think? 1-800-8-9-0-957, 1-800-8-9-0 W-JR. Let's go out to Rod and Plymouth. Rod, welcome to all talk. Hey, Kevin. I hope you guys have a great weekend. You know, this type of technology, it just happens to be that we're talking on a video. But our license plates are putting out pings all the time. We could have readers at every intersection. As far as it being illegitimate, it's a great cost, effective tool for law enforcement. And as long as there's oversight, there's no problem as well. But I think, and I mentioned this on Christmas program, is... Their license plates, because not everyone has a driver's license, that's really valid. Who knows who has what license to drive these days? But anyways, RFID tags and license plates with readers at strategic points would be more effective. It would be national. It's just something that should be incorporated. Driving is a privilege. It's not just a right. And we already have the technology to track people within our drivers, embedded in our driver's licenses. So let's go with it. I appreciate it. Yeah, I always feel we're being tracked by our phones anyway and that people can find us in any event. Let's go to Bill. He's in a car right now in Northville. What's up, Bill? I'm absolutely for these. cameras that they have. I think they're great. It's like having a free witness on the side. It can be used. You know, we trust policemen with guns and we have to deal with that. Are you kidding me? We should be able to trust them when they need a witness and to use these devices. In fact, I'll bet these are more reliable than witnesses. And you got a group of kids going by and you got a crime. Stop them instead, the cops looking for that white van you talked about earlier. Right. Get the right vehicle. Stop the right people. And the drones in 90 seconds. Are you kidding me? I'm worried about my safety. So these people that are against it, I believe that they have the wrong feelings. I mean, they just don't trust anybody. You know what? Our police need to be supervised. There's processes in place for crying out loud. If the contractors go rogue or the police operators with the drugs go rogue, they can be fired, they can be locked up. You just have to keep an eye on it. Bill, appreciate it. It's all talk. I'm Kevin Deetz.

I've watched every episode, every season. I love Stranger Things. Yeah, my daughter loves Stranger Things. I turned it out. I think the first episode, first scene, I think somebody gets taken out of an elevator. So I said, no, I'm not doing it. That's not your thing. Yeah, I watched about 30 seconds of it. I said, I just can't do it. And that Haley, Joel Osmond, that's the guy from I see Dead people, right? Yep, yep. He's 38? I know, isn't that crazy? Man, wow, all right. That's, yes, that is crazy. I feel very old suddenly. All right, what do we got in history? April 10th, 1912, the RMS Titanic set sail from Southampton, England, to its maiden voyage leading to its iceberg hit just days later on April 14th and officially sinking on the 15th. All right. That's a big deal. Yeah. April 15th, 1877, the first home telephone is installed in Massachusetts. And I got to tell you, I thought it was long after this. 1877, the first home telephone. Wow.
