Host this is a great opportunity for me. Normally, im the person having the questions asked of me, and now i get the opportunity to ask a former journalist questions about the book you wrote. So i look forward to guest ill do my best. It is an unas cos tommed role for me to answer questions. Its good to be here. Host im glad. I wanted to start to just ask you a few issues that are general in nature about the book. The first question is what drove you to this topic . What made you interested in writing a book about the fukushima accident . Guest as a journalist, it was a very compelling story. I had coveringed the three mile island accident when i was a reporter at the Philadelphia Inquirer and have followed Nuclear Issues ever since. And the first moments of that accident, when the news accounts began to come out, i watched transfixed. Because it was the first time i think the world has ever watched an accident unfold. And so i got caught up in the story. Not necessarily the technical
In their interest to do it, and they havent demonstrated propensity for doing it. But one of the things i feel is lacking is lately our willingness to promote our stuff. And we are losing, were hemorrhaging platforms. Now, theres a good side and a bad side to this story. You know, actually, i brought a list of the bookstores that have closed not since i started my web site but since i started keeping track of em. And its, the list actually, if you do me a favor and just hold this, this is a list of bookstores that have closed. Now are those brook bookstores . These are all independent bookstores across the nation. Whats the count, do you know . Approximately. Over a hundred. I mean, honestly are, i dont know the count 300 . Oh well, this is, this is how many are left, and this is counting the schomburg, this is counting the studio museums bookstore, this is counting the hub at howard university. So if we were to look at the number of blackowned independent bookstores in this country, t
Heres whats going on now. Tensions sky high right now on the last frontier of the cold war. North korea now threatening to get physical with south korea. Promises to go forward with underground nuclear tests. And hacked the New York Times falling victim to a fourmonthlong computer atck. They say the source was china. First a dangerous stand off in the middle east that has to do with one of our most important allies. Syria and iran are fear use over an israeli airstrike inside the syrian border. They are now warning of retaliation. The details are sketchy. Syrians say the israeli strike hit a Research Facility near damascus killing two workers. A senior u. S. Official say the jets struck a convoy suspected of transporting weapons to hezbollah in lebanon. Sara sidener joins us as well as Fran Townsend from new york. We have reports from the United States and reports from syria. Is this the same or separate attacks . Reporter thats the thing that needed to be sorted today. We have heard f
Its remarkable to think about a society with no personal music, no personal sources of information, no unfiltered books, two Television Channels one of which plays the dear leaders speech over and over again and the other one place music. Imagine, a closed society come just a few it is getting in their would significantly improve and argue the safety of the world. And if they opened up the internet one day, along with the regime last . Of course no one knows. The korean culture is different from other asian cultures. Its hierarchical and patriarchal, an at the childreno founded the modern north korea, put himself in charge of religion. Its possible north korea does not become a democracy on day one. Its arrogant of americans to think that some a democracy occurs in one day when it took a long time and, of course, america was formed in a unique way because everyone was a refugee from other places, except the indians. So the fact of the matter is that its possible you could see transitio

his allies in the senate to destroy the rule of law in the United States of america. We will not. Wow. Well now, good morning, it is friday, june 10th. Welcome to morning joe. That was something. Brisk. She kept going. Did she really . I became a huge Elizabeth Warren fan last night. She went down and punched him down on the ground. She goes after trump in a way that is a better than its vicious, its genuine. Why do you think its better than other people . It comes from the gut. I think she has a street fighting way that is genuine and real and for the first time, i was looking at her, boy, her and hillary together would be an
