MFM and does -- Who's talking sports leader did this bloodshed. That's displays to. Conversation call. 087. It's there one guy. Anyway MM II don't make. -- one of the three years they have a -- -- -- -- -- WWL -- on the phone -- they're going to be blown -- the break. So we're gonna come straight to a set the stage here we talked about a bunch of stuff today. But the president spoke at 230 or so. There was a brief statement I expected some longer I guess when they said it was going to be in a rose Garden -- known they weren't gonna take any questions with. I was roads of frost and I were both expecting a 2030 minute speech and it didn't come out that way but that's. -- you know. He had some good stuff to say. He made an unannounced visit to about the Japanese embassy signed a condolences book there. He does the president talked about the charters planes that are coming out of Japan. He's also spoke about being evacuated all Americans fifth nun and a fifty mile radius around the bush team and they cheap plan. Beyond that the risk is lower but they are staying on top of -- basically. And also a voluntary departure of family members of all the US workers that are over there. As early com people concerned about. But giant nuclear cloud coming across the way over here he -- they know the CDC the NRC they -- say the level the risk -- harmful radiation among the risk of that of those levels coming new US is just not it's just not gonna happen. But basically in. And and the CDC basically -- recommends the mountain though the number one precaution for you to take is to stay informed. So that's a little bit. Try to informing here we'll take your calls. 26 so 17866889087. They are told for months blood at WW unlike comets that email address and we have this new thing up we you can. Text messages to us at 87870. And and shave -- Kaman put up the screen here in the studio -- so people sent me text so that's pretty cool. That's where we're at will fill a lot of stuff and one of the things a torn apart before right before bro bro we broke for the news and then there won't ask you that and here we're go to the phones is. The when this thing happened. They have an international list our international ranking of of nuclear accidents and salmon is the -- it goes from one to seven. And Chernobyl -- seven. France and Chernobyl with seven and Three Mile Island here in Pennsylvania and the United States is five okay. France Hussein and that that. The Japanese nuclear plant. Globe. Meltdown order turn on used to call it. They were already had a six Japan is going on and on and on on -- We're out of four bit a couple of news agency CNN house agreement bumping and fox are -- on their to -- looking at and were pulled it up on bond in the New York Times. But it seems that some people are part of -- appoint a few fingers that may be. Maybe they weren't getting the straight story from Tokyo power or from a Japanese government. So they have may make in some allegations along those lines my question -- is too since this has happened since we have had. It is still one of the cleanest and safest -- when it doesn't break it breaks catastrophically. It breaks spectacularly. Should we have. -- -- IAEA in the United Nations. Or international atomic energy association. Should they be and have the same -- so at a chemical at a at a nuclear plant in an accident like this is anybody else as the company that owns that no awards. Entergy owns Waterford free. Into -- and talk more for freaks and Entergy ain't the NRC which is the American nuclear regulatory commission and the United Nations all three album together. Have a say so. About what happens and what they should do and when they should start making a -- so that nobody can pull all over -- I mean we got to know the truth. I'm in favor of it but if it goes bad I wanna know all the truth enough about the truth okay because this is actually unknown. -- This like you were driving through somebody almost letting her source -- some like that they understand. In these types of situations that is not time for rhetoric. It is not time for guessing they need a line in the sand for every level is a song wanna two or three years is troublesome to five you know on sand. So should they do that or should it will or should or do we just need to rely on our own in RC were good enough. Okay 260187. And 8668890. H seven is our toll free on a script to the phones. Steve's out on the -- ascendancy thanks for hanging on. I guess spoke pro I don't insert how the weather out their position I was there and so. It's sunny sunny and breezy and give or commitments we can yes sir oh let's send. Well boredom have an. To me that would be a big concern I mean it's so terrible horrible. Any kind of situation but not a one LA -- before. I don't think it should do away with it appeared start dismemberment all that stuff they are clean so he -- And well you know it's it's bad but our big thing is very little problem you know things happen. We cannot control what we have and the earth and god created they haven't been here. And when something goes. Bad I mean -- you want born of tiger. Eight at Scott about it I mean because they control all this we can't we can't control earthquakes and think like dead -- -- We can do the thing about the earthquake. Is. If all of -- word word earthquake none of this would be happening because. V.s for our reactors they didn't crack because of Democrats to my knowledge but they didn't break because of the earthquake. They didn't break because of the tsunami they broke because the tsunami flooded out. The fuel for the for the generators which they needed because when the earthquake hit. All the reactors that all that stuff shut down but they still needed power. To run cooler through -- and that's why they had on site diesel generators the problem was the tsunami flooded the fuel supply. But the generators and that's world this came from if they would have been able to withstand. A forty foot wall water we wouldn't be in this mess but they only were able to deal what a twenty foot wall and they got a thirty foot wall and that's why we're in the Mansour. What percent of what I'm gonna make a point is that it no matter what man fields or anything like. Well -- still control the elements and all it no matter what we do we're never gonna build any bank park. -- your statement makes a sound like god did what does he testing yesterday senator tsunami to do this to tell us. -- Obama played it like if I believe we knew we knew months before 9/11 hit. Uh oh about 616 months before 9/11 we knew it was gonna happen. And oh god god he's beaten -- judges and things like it we don't know why certain things happened but I I believe it's judgment on the great the -- But on eleven most political editor I tell you you know -- I can't argue with you because I -- but I will say this. God helps those that help themselves I'm gonna say a prayer. For the souls are -- people who have lost and their nominee do the best I can't help myself you know -- Shouldn't we should very well do they do not afraid it doesn't matter we should never glory don't anyone tragedy we should always no matter. You know -- people have bad things happen up what do we should never be happy prevail even if we think -- in Rome or whatever we should always great for people that. They have these send and now. People should live arm and in peace and and that's what we most people won't erase -- or won't they don't all this troubling chaos and also spoke out. You know a lot as well they are are sure part of the people opium and it devastate it no matter what culture of people you wore it to devastate then people. -- -- -- -- although the people that are helping now they're better able to go there and new relief work and at that point you're able to do it if so it's a great test more detailed. Dennis I appreciate you call god bless these things from car to 60187 as a member stepping away Guerrier mixed up. Got a bunch of text. That the emails were conduct calls coming -- we're taking your calls about the president's comments about what's happening in Japan and your comments about what's happening in Japan. -- Fought born and old who was in charge. Who was that was ultimately and charges of Tokyo electric is -- -- the Government of Japan. Or does the IAEA had the ultimate say so over what's going on -- -- in Japan and we have a nuclear accident like that to 678668890. Examining. There's a -- for a lot of the sport should get a cup of coffee -- gonna talk it's. Let's talk today 48 PM on WWL eight about women dot com. Sports show talk gumbo with John scored McConnell on WWL AM FM and dot com. -- talking sports leaders turn of the flame 504260187. The 4866889. -- seventy. I don't know bugs don't back your phone calls here before the show every assembly WW 260. 187 -- Gary is on the phone some Gerri thanks for calling on him. Close -- yes my a basic comment is revolving around a publication that was produced by John W -- scientific and medical. Expertise. The book is entitled radiation induced cancer promote those exposure -- to 1990 publication. It brings to life. The serious underestimation. Of file where it goes can be. Who goes by definition is measurement of body tissue damage. So if you receive any goes at all it's damaging. And what -- Is that is that one of the reasons why there was all this -- -- -- over the TSA scanners because you wouldn't know what the dose did over how many period retirement accounts such. Well there's blatant eight expectation no damage them because of the chromosomal instability that it produces. The Maine. Serious critical part of the cellular structure that is damaged is of course the DNA. But. What I want to bring out in that publication I came across something is very -- it correlates to in my memory of the marketing strategy that the utility industry. Even locally was producing by. The source of media. They advertised with their campaign. That they had 99% containment. And I came across there was a particular page in this particular publication. That it talked about at 99% containment best case scenario. -- get 100 nuclear reactors that's one open reactor which is extremely serious. And it would take an accumulation effect which disproportionate to -- the damage. A total of around I think. It was -- -- and a -- to seven years the way I can remember. Nobody -- -- disaster. So. Even their best case scenario under 9%. Containment. You do with a disastrous effect. I actually just put -- -- called Leslie capital from melts your health sciences and that's who we coach who only get doctors and she's gonna try to get me a doctor for tomorrow who can talk about both you know. No dosage in cumulative effect so -- exactly where it -- yeah so I'm actually a -- you have the Roma show tomorrow low. Stay ahead of the game and and getting you know potassium iodide pills and and whether or not. They should be taking that because -- write it and sound to me like I mean they're there to counteract. Radiation that you absorbed in it down and absorb -- you don't really want that stuff in your body out. -- think they just south Louisiana and especially those streets seafood have a shortage of our time. I don't think so and I know why don't you know I mean I don't even need to put -- down on a global war -- but you know. But I mean their peak there are people who are already going oh my god and I got to go get me some may run over to Walgreens and buying this kind of stuff and I don't you know anyway -- -- I'll have some money on hopefully tomorrow by the and it's not -- the first part of week Monday or Tuesday for sure. Bring that up about golf and if you can remember. Calendar because I'm. At a scientific publication radiation. Introduced to answer from low dose exposures. Spoke to GO out one out mam. -- the world renowned expert eastern regional wars well. -- -- -- -- -- of it is you know what is when they say you got a 15% chance of rain wind doesn't mean. I mean it it didn't mind are you gonna have a 70% chance or rain and it still won't rain is just a chance when it. Common sense analysis so he put the mathematical certainty had a hole in one -- reactor for every 100 reactors. At best case scenario. That's not to say that well they might be on 98%. Or 97 or even last. Well but it's like anything else and when you speak with. Of course remember -- because it doesn't do via. Normally concentrate thing but kind of pressures -- -- -- would talk about that specific thing if you have a 99 if you got to -- reactors and -- none NM percent containment. Well then. There -- you can do you mean you don't wanna open but that's if you've gut. What that 1%. Spread across all 100 album then you're on his. Still it's still could artillery of people because disproportionate to dose they outcome wolf. Technically be the same -- answer outbreaks and damage done genetically. Oh look I'm all about and all about -- cancer Alley up and down there are so sorry and there's few moments of effects on a bunch of stuff. So that the -- Obama have done my I'm gonna and I appreciate that they -- up to six only seven it. 866889087. Or toll for me you know that and then. That's a good point Gary and Islam have been a doctor but also. Here's somebody sent me attacks steady 7870. It is impossible to use or make energy without spending waste. That includes eating drinking breathing the object -- to -- -- as efficiently as possible and then you go and is what this what you are prepared to deal with. Which if you if unless you wanna live and cable look at just what you wanna you -- have light. You gonna burn kerosene universe and world where you're still gonna expend energy which means you're gonna have smoke. I mean a difference monies -- in Denver. And -- got to appoint their money have fireplaces well they had to -- had to make a modify their fireplaces because so many people. Was -- were burning so many dogs in the wintertime to help keep warm. You know because especially when fuel prices would go up electricity would go up -- they go on burn a lot more work well guess what. Then there were ended -- put all kinds of small -- fall gunsmoke. -- over the city. -- in the story. You don't cut -- that that's one of the parts of the latest cutting down on the use. Of energy which you know Garland Garland none has the company that fix up his house and everything else so he's cut down his usage. But he's not eliminating it and neither are mine I'm not gonna eliminate electricity from a life. You know I can I'm an eagle scout who are the stars are what are matches. On one. So they don't. Darlings is in the newsroom -- when we come back to ignore your calls and emails and -- external -- -- going to be up. -- uses 330 turn us on. Your information -- News talk and sports leader.

Is -- number here 866 fading that 0870 is a toll for muscle so young guys. Tomorrow at the car show stop by and say -- also we wanna make you remember that. W -- -- giving away -- dream vacation to the western Caribbean all you gotta do is is signed up to become a big talker. And if you're already a member and and they they they send -- emails mentioned it was going on on the -- -- a real account and you get to visit. If you're already a member just who are long gone and then a click on the of the Norwegian cruise line logo. And put your name and had to when your dream cruise coastal Meyer wrote them believes Altamont. Norwegian cruise lines and freedom BL AMF and archive. I want on a new reason crews to two Harlem it's Alaska last June and I was a nice ride it was a comfortable ship. Planning to do. The food was good and the people were nice. I had a great time and we went up where was cold I can imagine was can be like out there in the Caribbean -- ninth. I'd like to six early seventies and number 866 inning as early seventy is our toll free line. We are talking about what -- while we're talking about what happened in Japan. The that the nuclear accident that has happened there. -- and again if they had. Been prepared to receive and that you know. -- below the reactors there are from a design that is older than Three Mile Island and there was still functioning. There has been news reports she can't you now you don't even know this so many different things financial. But there have been news reports that frankly there been problems there before and they've been shined over glossed over who -- by the companies by. The government but I haven't been able to confirm. You know if anything has been glossed over maybe some -- -- report Sherman -- Revealing. What's going on right now is there was well know there was -- earthquake there was the tsunami. What killed -- but what put everybody in this vote was V. -- -- The fuel that powered to the diesel generators. That kept the coolant flowing over the rods wild the wildest plant was shut down because of the earthquake. What condition there and we don't. -- reports. Japan says is not that bad and the French -- saying it's wants that shot Chernobyl we don't know the president came on. Is there -- re going to be due to Hawaii and Guam and all arrest them. -- Alaska though the West Coast California Oregon Washington. Are we going to be getting a nuclear cloud there were probably be some kind of nuclear fallout but making that trip. Don't think so. Don't think it's going to be that bad but I don't know we'll find out. The CDC is advising you to do nothing more than stay informed. Don't go out by and I'm trying to get them a nuclear doctor to come on tomorrow but basically these potassium iodide pills. From my understanding right now. You need to be actually in -- it would radiation before you take those things because what they're doing -- counteracting the radiation if they got no radiation to counteract I'm not sure they're that good for you this is not like a one a day you know. When dot com. -- news talk and sports leader to add some spice to the conversation 504260187. The 4866889. Always seventy -- were back on the the bush -- take your car. An email through -- so one extremity of the number eight -- fixated on the early seventy yard hole. Spoke to a -- and spoke to many people are about. So the nuclear. Problem nuclear efficiencies. -- nuclear one of the things I mean. I don't know one of the things that strikes me about and who spoke about it briefly before and symbolic Olympic army gene is Jose genius. But again it seems to me is it's it's like Gary who called up and said that though you know if there's 100 plants this -- John golf habit -- curious where rode down here it is Kaufman. Radiation induced cancer from low exposure. If we had a hundred nuclear power plants but they were little bitty. I don't know I mean that the amount of radiation that is being put out by this plant into the Fukushima Dai Ichi plant in in in this undying. Prefecture in Japan and it's it's it's it's huge is -- I mean there's life six reactors there and for over Merlin. Burning or or -- or beat up beat down. But any one of these things generates considerably -- -- logo and radiation than a small one and I'm talking about I mean can't -- of the stuff let's not kid ourselves is it when they were building. When they were building. Fat man a little boy the first two atomic bombs I mean the actual. Fissionable material they had was about. The size of a softball or smaller. You know and -- What if you wouldn't touch something like that. You're done for. Look at the amount of energy expended so. I don't know it's a question and grameen is the question going after great making great big ones I don't know I don't know but I'm not willing to get rid of it. -- will only get rid of anything. Frankly. I -- or -- with radiation induced cancer from low exposure. Don't have to pay for confront him even in reading up about about what's going on with with with nuclear energy in the pros in the -- seven. There is radiation in the in cold dust. And there are more people get killed in in coal mines -- get killed -- radiation and a nuclear plants. Same thing with with with. Natural gas plants that generate electricity. More people die at them is it isn't because they have such tire safety standards at a nuclear plant because if there is something that happens is gonna be so catastrophic. That -- you know you have the world. Spinning on a dime to see what's going on are you gonna have the French over there telling you know your line -- -- telling us was the most some powerful -- important thing is going on here. Doesn't happen when when I mean we'll get condolences. But I don't think we're gonna get the kind of a response you're -- because of a nuclear or problem because you know again look at Chernobyl UK -- go there Three Mile Island they had to shut it down it's still generating. Electricity in one of the reactors there Chernobyl you can even go to that town. So. I don't know what the answers aren't. But anyway I am I I know that I'm not willing to give it up. Not willingly give up the power I'm addicted to a Caribbean addicted to oil I I cannot drive but you know. Come about the middle of July among -- my air conditioner and that means I gotta have my electricity. You know -- -- -- lots and why we have electricity before we hand our horseless carriages I don't think we're prepared to give electricity we should not give up any method. Any any method that can be controlled. Because it no matter what you do. No matter what method you go after something's gonna get messed up I mean you get try standing next to one of those great big Windmills of -- brakes. It's not gonna take out. I don't know how many people -- once -- breaks and falls over who's ever in the immediate area against one but now you're off the grid to. Son you know that I'm not. I'm not. Talk about cutting back on anything. And keep experimenting make make the make the move those solar power even better make the wind power even better make the nuclear power even more safe and more efficient. Make it so that you can reuse the fissionable material do the flooring him. Keep it up every every venue you know keep every every bit of it -- Can figure out nuclear power -- like you have won the size of an air conditioning unit outside my house and I'll be on my own grid. You know it's all in case and a three foot square block a land in concrete and steel and more concrete. And we just feed off that energy. Get Hydro Hydro thermal. In on any and everything as far as I'm concerned any and everything. To 670 back tomorrow and impetus. -- Well another traffic update on the big age seventy W dirt. To wrap it up here today to end tomorrow how many lives at the grid -- Orleans auto show at the convention center. Morial convention senator they'll be there all weekend long -- as well as the home show but. You either buy a ticket for one the other or both. So Leo happy saint Patrick state everybody. Tomorrow on the sports show and I'll be over there'll be joined by Michael by the -- on a bunch showed no judge Rossi. And everybody who's celebrating the big thing don't think Joseph spoke. Major walk and -- away all you Saint Joseph people who are always looking for cool Saint Joseph -- -- go to and if you never been to a saint Joseph's -- -- don't even know what they are. There's a real cool one Inoa in old -- -- Saint Francis Xavier we usually stumped by that when every year such tomorrow Friday Saturday and. Friday and Saturday. 9 AM to 730. Public viewing.
