Art Bell’s Coast to Coast AM episode blends conspiracy theories with geopolitical warnings: Harry Wu’s potential release sparks speculation about U.S.-China ties, while Gordon Michael Scallion predicts West Coast earthquakes and Caribbean volcanic eruptions (80% chance in Montserrat) linked to Edgar Cayce’s prophecies. Callers debate OJ Simpson’s trial—bloody glove inconsistencies and Mark Fuhrman’s Fifth Amendment hint at acquittal—while Bell dismisses skepticism of Scallion’s 86% accuracy, citing his psychic exhaustion. Windows 95’s flaws (SCSI driver issues, Norton conflicts) dominate tech talk, with callers comparing it to Macs and questioning brain usage myths. A caller from New Orleans ties Roswell cover-ups to alien imagery resembling The Thing, amid rising local violence. Bell’s open-line format reveals tensions between science, prophecy, and pop culture, underscoring how fringe theories intersect with mainstream anxieties. [Automatically generated summary]
From the high desert and the great American Southwest, I bid you all good evening, or good morning, as the case may be, across all these very many time zones, from the Tahitian and Hawaiian Islands, east to the U.S. Virgin Islands in the Caribbean, South, well into South America, north to the North Pole.
We call it post-to-coast, and the title still works.
There's more posts.
Welcome, everybody.
I'm Mark Bell, and this is live Overnight Talk Radio.
Actually, the largest Overnight Show in America, period.
Good to be here.
A couple of notes.
One is the late news that Harry Wu may be out, and I guess the First Lady will be in.
Harry Wu may be out of jail.
Got a 15-year sentence, but expelled.
So I'm not sure what the 15-year sentence means.
It means they were angry, but you're out of here.
And probably means they want the First Lady to come and talk at the women's, attend the women's conference in China.
And I wonder how you feel about that.
It does seem an odd place for it, you know, Communist China, where women, I can assure you from my recent visit, do not have one of the higher places in their society, to put it mildly.
So it seems an odd place for the conference, but it was Asia's turn to have it, and Communist China volunteered for whatever reason.
Who knows?
Well, it sure was fun.
I did part of the morning show yesterday morning on KCMO in Kansas City, and we had a blast.
Some of you may have heard that, those of you who are up late, you know.
Tomorrow morning, or yes, now, still in this time zone, tomorrow morning, I'll be doing yet another one with WSDR in Sterling, Illinois, 12.40 on the dial in Sterling, so if you're up at that time, I will be about the same 30, same, yeah, it'll be the same 30, 9.30 Central Time.
Now, at the beginning of the program, I just got a call prior to the program that, in fact, there is a beginning eruption of a volcano in the Caribbean.
Now, this is pretty serious news if you've ever listened to Gordon Michael Scallion.
And I'll tell you what, I have got the Gordon Michaelscallion interview that I played a couple of weeks ago, and I may play it again after midnight.
I just may root it out and play it.
In the meantime, I'm going to open my first time caller line for the Caribbean so we can find out what's going on out there.
What is going on out there?
Any of you in the U.S. Virgin Islands who have any knowledge of this apparent eruption or eminent eruption, I'm not sure, of a volcano, I've got this now from two separate sources.
I really would like to know about it.
So, if you're in the U.S. Virgin Islands, it is the first time caller line that I will hold open for you when we begin to take calls.
At area code 702-727-1222.
Let me give it again.
From the U.S. Virgin Islands, anybody with any info on this volcano, area code 702-727-1222.
And I'll be asking everybody else to hold off until we get our info.
Now, germ warfare, nobody, well I guess we now do, know how very close we came to all-out warfare.
Terrible warfare.
It was disclosed today in Jordan that Saddam Hussein had biological, and get this, chemical weapons loaded in weapons, ready to use in the Gulf War, both in short-range and long-range weapons, capable of hitting Israel.
Ralph Vacayas, the UN's guy who's in charge of trying to get rid of all those weapons, confirmed everybody's worst fears.
And we had them at the time of that war.
As I said, both short and long-range weapons loaded to the gills with up to 13 gallons of anthrax, 13,000 gallons of anthrax, which will shut down your respiratory system.
Botulism, 130,000 gallons, the world's deadliest poison.
It attacks the central nervous system and basically shuts down your heart and your lungs and you.
Now, the big question was, he had it all loaded, ready to go.
So why didn't he use it?
Well, the answer is, because George Bush said, if you do, we will respond with nuclear weapons.
And, of course, he meant it.
So, what does this mean?
It means even Saddam Hussein was not completely insane.
That he was not completely suicidal.
That he knew exactly what would occur if he used those weapons against U.S. troops fighting wherever they were in Kuwait.
If he used it against the Saudis or the Israelis, so he didn't do it.
Music OJ, one of the more interesting days in the trial, one of the world's very respected, foremost forensic scientists hit very hard the prosecution's single killer theory using blood spatter evidence.
Oh, he was very, he threw it around and showed everybody how it ought to spatter.
Said that, in fact, he believes he's identified shoe prints from a second killer.
Either that or OJ wore two pairs of shoes while he did the killing.
Said, have you ever heard of that before?
He said no.
So, this would seem to be pretty serious evidence.
In other words, they do not match the shoes the prosecution says OJ wore the night of the murders.
Not his.
If not his, then whose?
It means the possibility of a second killer.
Add to that the latest fallout, we're going to hear it all by the time they finally get into court, from the Furman tapes.
The New York Times reported, NBC confirmed, talk of something called kill parties, where police get together after a suspect has been killed and party.
Furman said, allegedly, quote, it's like the end of a football game where you just won the championship and you're on a real high.
You're dominant.
You're powerful.
You're unbeatable, end quote.
Now, Detective Furman has a new attorney, this time a criminal lawyer, who may have to defend him against charges of perjury.
And Furman's new criminal lawyer said, well, if they call him back to the stand, it may be Detective Furman will choose to take the fifth.
And that should be interesting.
In a letter sent to possible donors, Detective Furman said the following, quote, I am the latest victim of a new and deliberate strategy used by lawyers to defend their clients.
That would be ignore the crime, ignore the evidence, just attack and destroy the cops involved.
Falsely charge that they're brutal, evil, or in any case, capable of framing an innocent citizen for murder for racist reasons.
End quote.
And with that, he is trying to raise some money for his possible defense.
And I guess my only question would be, if you were on the jury and Detective Fuhrman was called back into court, now remember, if you're on the jury, presumably you don't know anything about these tapes.
You don't have the slightest idea.
If you were on the jury, the last thing that's in your mind is that Detective Fuhrman was a very good witness.
That F. Lee Bailey didn't manage to pull a thing from him.
And that that very passionate cross-examination was basically useless.
And Furman was a tough, rough, tough Sockham witness and had his act together.
So if that same, if you're on the jury and the same guy, same detective, Mr. I've got it together, comes back to the stand and begins to take the Fifth Amendment and refuses to answer questions, if you're on that jury, what do you think?
What do you think that would do to the prosecution's case?
First trials, you'll recall, ended up with dual or two-hung juries.
I wonder if it's come to the point in America where the old saying has become now literal, that you can get away with murder.
You can get away with murder.
Congressman Mel Reynolds going to jail for a lesser crime.
Sentencing date, September 12th.
Convicted on 12 counts of sexual misconduct involving a 16-year-old campaign worker.
He'll get a minimum mandatory four years and could probably get as much as 80 if they really went after him.
Larry Hagman, the actor, diagnosed about three years ago with cirrhosis of the liver after admitting to years of heavy drinking, has received a new liver today.
They had found a cancerous tumor on his liver last month.
So here we are once again.
Mickey Mantle, of course you know about that very tragic story, and now Larry Hagman.
And I guess all I would ask is this, and I'm not going to begrudge anybody a liver, save their life, Hagman or Mantle or anybody else.
But why is not this evidence, along with what happened to Mantle, and so many others, why does this evidence, this health problem, not deserve the same kind of legislative attention as cigarettes do from our president?
I'd like to know about that.
I wonder if any of you have any thoughts on that.
Kind of an interesting piece from Unsolved Mysteries last night.
I think it was a repeat, but it was really interesting.
And it is kind of a religious...
I think it's a religious topic.
It has to do with spontaneous remission.
Now, a lot of people out there would say, well, of course there's spontaneous remission.
I mean, occasionally things cure themselves up in your body.
However, they documented with evidence, mammogram evidence, that a woman who went in like on a Friday and had a mammogram, there was clear, undisputable evidence of lumps, you know, of cancerous, possibly cancerous lumps.
So she was due to go get another mammogram and possibly a mastectomy or whatever other treatment was due.
And she went home and prayed.
Prayed.
And she said that there was an answer.
A soft, gentle voice that answered her.
Told her it would be okay.
She went back to the doctor's office Monday morning.
They did another mammogram, and there was not even a hint of a lump.
Nothing.
Gone.
And unsolved mysteries then referred to a double-blind, you know, when you're trying to prove something, you do something called a double-blind study.
And you've got two groups that you're looking at.
And they documented that the people, I know this may sound wild to some of you and not be a surprise to others, but people who had very serious, life-threatening illnesses in group one prayed and had people pray for them.
In the other group, there were no prayers.
And I forget the numbers, but it was very, very significant.
The power of prayer is what I'm asking you about.
Now, you know me.
Mr., I've got to be shown or have it proven to me.
And while I thought all of this was very interesting, and these are just examples, I wonder in my own mind whether the power of prayer is Answered from an external source,
God, our Maker, whoever, or whether the power of prayer is strongly felt within the person doing the praying.
So strongly felt that they manage to actually, with the power of their own mind, and look, you've got to understand, I do not rule out this possibility.
With the power of their own mind, cure themselves.
And therein lies an interesting discussion, I suppose.
And I'm not sure what the answer is, but I do believe this story.
And I just gave you a couple.
They are legion of people claiming the power of prayer curism.
And certainly, lumps shown in a mammogram, they showed them on TV, in a mammogram, done Friday, gone Monday.
That's just not a normal, slow, but sure remission.
That's kind of off into the category of magic, miracle.
You know, you use the word you want to use.
But it certainly is something that is occurring beyond our understanding.
Wouldn't you say?
All right, we're going to break here at the bottom of the hour.
Strap in.
I have no idea what's coming next.
I only know that it's on the way.
We'll be right back.

You're listening to Arc Bell somewhere in time on Premiere Radio Networks.
Tonight, an oncore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from August 23rd, 1995.
Rule on heart, no one can say they put you.
Strange world designate bullish people.
I never dreamed that I'd meet somebody like you.
I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you No, I don't want I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it I'm about to lose
control, and I think I like it I'm so excited, and I just can't hide it I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I don't, I want you You're welcome, yeah I don't want, I don't, I don't, I want you, you're welcome, yeah
I'm going to do the U.S. Virgin Island thing at the top of the hour.
That is, the top of this coming hour.
And I'll tell you what we'll do.
If it turns out this volcano is erupting, or predicted to be about erupting, and I have now two separate sources saying it is so, I may replay the Gordon Michael Scallion most recent interview that lasts about 20 minutes that I had with him that I think you will find absolutely startling.
And it concerns a recent group of earthquakes, and the people in LA have never heard this, many of them.
And so now that I've thought about it, I think that what I will do is going into the news at the top of the hour, try to get a call from the U.S. Virgin Islands.
And we will do that coming out of the top of the hour and then play that interview, perhaps in its entirety.
There's been just too much going on that has been confirmatory with regard to the predictions made by Mr. Scallion.
A facts just came in are please don't perpetuate the celebrity favoritism fallacy concerning organ transplants.
No matter where one is on the list, if the organ type match does not fit, that one has got to wait no matter how much money or notoriety the recipient has.
Well, that's from David in South Carolina.
David, I wasn't doing that.
As a matter of fact, if you were listening, David, what I said was, with the news of these, now obviously when they're celebrities, they're news.
So with the news of the organ transplants, and in both cases, cirrhosis involved, meaning a lot of drinking, admitted by both people in these cases, my question was, why is it not being treated legislatively, the liquor industry, as the tobacco industry is being treated?
Late news on that is the police chief in Detroit says, well, the reports of the cheering and chanting were exaggerated.
He didn't say it did not occur.
He said exaggerated.

Well, I kind of want to relate that to Noah's Ark and your mini calls the last couple of nights on the alien visiting us and inserting some sort of DNA in to relate that.
In other words, a natural selection argument might be made if she had said, you know, hey, the world sucks, I'm out of here and jumped.
Well, but when you're put, wait a minute, sir, when you're pushed or when it's murder, then I wouldn't attribute it to natural selection.
unidentified
Well, anyway, I want to relate that to Noah's Ark by saying that we have two or even three, if you count the alien, three theories about how the human race got on the earth.
Well, I would say if the ark is found up on Ararat and it's really what we think it is, and the scientists say there's about 100,000 one that it is not some sort of freak of nature, then, yeah, I would say there's going to be a big argument, a very large argument indeed, about what to teach in schools.
That was a good call, sir.
I appreciate your having made it.
Yes.
I mean, if the ark, come on now, if the ark is found, it's going to change a lot of things for a lot of people.
Let's face it.
A lot of people are going to do it.
Well, it's probably going to send the Bible right up to the top of the bestseller list, I would say, very quickly, wouldn't you?
It is one of the more difficult to believe parts of the Bible for a lot of people.
You know, that the world flooded and Noah had them come on the ship two by two and all the rest of it.
Free radicals are agents, toxins, poisons to you as a human being that come into your body through just about everything that you take into your body, the air you breathe, water, food, toxins generally in the environment.
unidentified
Let me ask you, what is some of the most powerful free radicals?
Well, that was the question, you see, whether really it's in God's hands, every breath we take, or whether, in some sense, it's in our own hands.
Or you could mix the two and say, well, God is within.
In other words, I believe, and I do believe this, as you know, we use a very small portion of our brain.
We understand very, very little about our brain.
It is a wondrous organism that makes the most powerful computer on earth look like a piece of junk, like a rock.
The brain's complexity and ability to process information is staggering scientifically.
So it makes sense to me, just all the sense in the world, that our brain, the most wonderful computer ever conceived, still not understood, can do things that we are not fully aware of.
What do we use?
10%, 15%, at best, 10% is what I think I've heard of our brain.
Well, what is that other 90% there for?
Is it something we once used?
Are we using less?
Are we beginning slowly to use more?
You know, I don't, that's a very curious question, actually.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.

Hi, Art.
Hello, my name is Marsha, and I'm calling from Milwaukee, Wisconsin.
But if you recall, when they tested an atomic bomb in China, we were told that a nuclear cloud could come over the United States and that we would be exposed to radiation.
And I, boy, I'll tell you, that's a bit of a reach.
There was atomic testing.
Arguably, there were higher levels of radioactivity in the atmosphere.
And some of them no doubt reached Earth.
But how on Earth you would conclude that this affected you or your mom, I'm not sure, and I'm not sure how you would ever, ever make such a connection.

But this is the patient talking to him, and it's kind of the same thing you were talking about, if it's power of prayer or if it's mind over matter or what.
But he's asking, you know, he's asking the doctor, you know.
And the doctor's telling him that you have the mind of a chronic alcoholic.
I've never seen one single case recover where the state of mind existed to the extent that it does in you.
Our friend felt, though, as though the gates of hell had closed on him with a clank.
And he said to the doctor, is there no exception?
Yes, replied the doctor, there is.
Exceptions to such cases as yours have been occurring since early times.
Here and there, once in a while, alcoholics have had what are called vital spiritual experiences.
To me, these occurrence are phenomena which appear to be in the nature of huge emotional displacements, rearrangements, ideas and other words, a spontaneous remission.
Yeah, well, that's basically what the AA is all about, is getting into the spiritual part of things and the prayer and meditation and stuff and having a spiritual experience.
And that's where the people get to where they can space over when nothing else ever worked before.
And I told you they did a double blind study on this that is quite remarkable.
And it appeared to show that prayer works.
That the people who pray or get this, who are prayed for, have a much, much higher recovery rate than those who do not.
Now that, when you think about it, would be pretty remarkable, I would say.
Wouldn't you?
Pretty remarkable.
All right, I'll tell you what I would like to do now.
During this coming newscast, at the top of the hour, I would like to solicit some calls from the U.S. Virgin Islands.
We're heard in the U.S. Virgin Islands, thankfully.
And we now have two reports.
One, a newspaper report, and the second, a hurried call I got before the program tonight about a Caribbean island, about an eruption of a volcano in the Caribbean.
So what I would ask you to do in the U.S. Virgin Islands is to begin to ring my first time caller line and just keep dialing until you get through.
Dial like mad.
And if you have any information at all about what's going on out there in the Caribbean, I may be moved to replay the latest Gordon Michaelscallion interview because it is so relevant to recent Earth movement and, of course, relevant with regard to what he had to say about any possible volcanic action in the Caribbean.
So some of this is beginning to hit pretty close to home.
I would imagine there'd be a lot of news of it there.

You never know what you'll hear on CoastToCoast AM with George Norring.
I'm concerned about the divide that's happening in this country right now.
It's almost as if you cannot talk publicly about how you feel about an issue without getting stampeded by someone who doesn't agree with you.
And you know what?
That's dangerous in this country.
The luxury of the United States has been our ability to be able to talk and explain and to take positions without being attacked and ridiculed.
And I've never seen it worse than it is today.
And it's got to change because, you know, it's going to take us down the wrong path.
I just want the truth.
I want us to be able to go after an issue, whether it's the swine flu or health insurance.
I just want the truth.
And then from that point, we as Americans can make up our own minds.
Now we take you back to the night of August 23rd, 1995, on Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
Have you been following the predictions made by Scallion?
Have you heard any of those on my program?
unidentified
Not really.
I haven't really been following up, but the last I did hear on our local news station here on WSTA Radio, which you are aired every night, that there is an 80% chance.
Scientists from the University of West Indies, Guadalupe, UK, and the U.S. Geological Survey now estimate, here it is, an 80% chance of a possible major eruption.
Evacuees, including those from the capital, remain in northern parts of the island.
Government offices have also now been moved to the same parts.
So there you have it.
And here you've got, I want you to hear this.
We're going to have to break it up possibly in two parts.
But this is a recent interview that I did with Gordon Michael Scallion.
The third event in my predicted four quake scenario just occurred in South America, in Chile.
The scenario states that there would be four quakes that would start the scenario in May or June.
And it would start it with a quake that would be greater than seven.
Each of the quakes in the scenario will be seven.
The average will probably be 7.5 when it's all done.
The first quake occurred in a Russian island north of the island of Japan that borders on the Sea of Japan.
That was the first event that occurred, and that occurred on May 27th, and it was of magnitude 7.6.
The scenario predicted was that within weeks rather than months, the second event in the four-quake scenario would occur, and that would take it down somewhere in the South Pacific region on July 3rd at 1950 UTC time.
A magnitude 7.1 occurred in New Zealand, or off New Zealand in one of the islands.
The next event predicted to occur would be a quake, again, greater than 7, that would occur within weeks rather than months in South America.
And earlier I had posted warnings for the areas around Chile.
And of course, on Sunday, a quake in the magnitude is still being updated, but it exceeds 8 on the magnitude scale.
The latest report that I had was it's been upgraded to an 8.1.
And so much of it depends upon what scales they're using to record these quakes.
And at Matrix Institute, and through the Earth Changing Report, we use the magnitude scale to keep everything consistent.
Now, the prediction goes on to say that within weeks, again, rather than months, and what that means is that up to seven weeks is within weeks.
Once we hit eight weeks, we're really talking about two months.
So I have my understanding of my prediction is that it would be, again, within weeks up to eight.
There would be a quake, again, greater than seven, and that would occur somewhere in the west coast of America.
Now, it may be a single quake or it may be multiple quakes.
The epicenter of that quake under this particular scenario is unknown.
I do have a long-term running prediction for the west coast, which has not occurred yet.
The prediction was that there would be three quakes in the Los Angeles area.
Now, we have had three quakes in the general vicinity, each fulfilling the magnitude that I had predicted.
However, the large quake that I've seen is in Southern California and Palm Springs.
And this scenario does not necessarily mean it will be there.
So that's one.
I have different predictions running around similar events.
What I try to do is to provide early warning signs.
And this four-quake scenario is just that.
It's an early warning sign.
So from now until the next seven or eight weeks, I would say we are into a time period where quake activity in the West Coast, which means anywhere from Vancouver, B.C. all the way down into the Baja.
The entire West Coast, I would say, in my scenario, is on alert.
And especially with all this heat we've had, my observations and my visions have indicated that when we have a lot of heat, we tend to have larger release of quakes.
Well, we have a lot of heat, not just in the West Coast, on the West Coast, but all over the country right now.
If this cycle completes with a quake on the West Coast, what does that bode for the next year say?
unidentified
If this next quake occurs and it does fire off and hit, and again, the statistics of all four of these events happening on magnitude, timeframe, and epicenter is staggering.
So I don't claim to always get them.
The first scenario, of course, as you know, we did predict all four of them.
It doesn't mean this one will go all the way.
So I want to caution on that.
I have not seen a vision that says it's assured that this West Coast will occur.
It's just a warning sign.
If it does occur, what it indicates, based on 14 years of predictions about the West Coast, is that we have entered that timeframe of unprecedented release of quakes and that in 96 and 97 we will literally fracture California.
So we have to watch this carefully.
Now if we have a blessing and nothing happens in the West Coast, then the next cycle begins itself in December.
So each time the cycle runs, the quakes get bigger and the release of energy becomes stronger.
So we have another window, the third window, which would be December and then January.
When you see what you have predicted begin to come true, it must stand the hair on the back of your neck up too.
unidentified
Usually what happens is that when there's a large quake that I predicted, or in the case of the hurricanes, which I have predicted, that are maybe unfolding right now, is that I'm usually away.
In this case, we were so exhausted, physically and mentally exhausted, we took a couple days to go up to the Cape area.
And I was away, I just arrived, in fact.
And when I did, they immediately tracked me down, my staff, and said, your third event just happened.
And it was like somebody had punched me right in the stomach.
And I just turned to my wife, Cynthia, and I said, we've got to cut this short and get back.
I said, I've got to see what else we can do here.
At least we can do is to clarify what was said.
And so we immediately came back and notified through various Internet accessors and media services, at least clarifying.
I don't have any further visions or information, and I've already been told through my visions that I won't.
That from this point forward, it's the unfoldment whereby in the late 70s and the 80s, there was always the possibility that some of these things could change based on a lot of things, mostly how we lived our lives.
And as of March of this year, the visions and the guidance has been that they now start to unfold.
So 95, 96 are going to be significant years.
One of the things we were told to watch for is watch for temperatures to exceed 125 degrees.
And in August, we're going to have more of that kind of temperature, really high stuff.
And it said that those are all preludes to a larger release of energy.
Perhaps the greatest seer of all times, in our times, modern times, was Edgar Cayce.
And one of his predictions was that he talked about the Pele, which is a volcano that is not active, but had been at the turn of the century, on the island of Martinique.
And he said to watch for that becoming active.
I've had visions that talked about Vesuvius Etna and a series of islands around Martinique all being connected underneath the ground with lava vents.
In other words, the lava flows and the tunnels connect these things together.
And my visions have said that if any of these become active in the circle, that we have to watch out.
And that indeed, if we get two of them active at two different points, such as Aetna and Pele or Vesuvius and Pele or Vesuvius and Aetna, that it was a prelude to massive earth changes that would occur.
And we have just been notified, we've been watching it carefully, but the islands, the island north and south of Martinique, and they're very small islands, both these islands on either side have volcanically come to bear.
In other words, the volcanoes that were dormant no longer are dormant.
They're both active, which would indicate to me that the whole structure, the magma structure under these islands is all active and that Pele needs to be watched very, very carefully.
My visions have indicated that when Pele or Vesugus, either one, becomes active, then literally within days we start to see major earth movements.
Now so far we have no activity on Vesugas and we have nothing on Pele, but the islands north and south of them are active, extremely so.
And we also have all kinds of other phenomena in the world that's going on now.
85% of Alaska is literally melting, and we have temperatures in the Pacific that have just risen so high, and they don't know why my long-running scenario has been that that would happen, and it's due to undersea volcanism.
So what we're seeing now is in key points of the world, is there's great magma movement pouring itself to the surface, and that that in turn will trigger and release quakes.
So we can watch these things very carefully, and if they start to unfold, then we have a form of an early warning sign, just like with the hurricane alpha, Florida.
We can do things.
We can get bottled water.
We can watch it.
We can at least be prepared on a mental and a spiritual level.
The physical level, we're going to have to make individual decisions on what to do about where we are.
My theory is that if it rains, like how we have trees storm right now in the water, I think if enough rain come, it cool it down and the volcanic won't erupt again.
You're listening to our bell summer in time on Premiere Radio Networks tonight.
An encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from August 23rd, 1995.
Thank you.
You're listening to our bell somewhere in time on premiere radio networks tonight on your presentation of coach to coach a hour from August 23rd, 1995.
And apparently he doesn't really take any stock in the quickening, which I do.
May not be calling it the quickening, but calling it something similar to it in what they refer to as the last days.
One interesting thing that a pastor of mine has brought to my attention, one thing real quick is I'm an entertainer in Las Vegas and recently a born-again Christian.
And my pastor has brought to the fact that I've been really studying the book of Revelation and the last days and the times and so on and so forth.
And he brought this one point towards me when I was asking him, well, what is the demise of the United States, you know, mentioning in here?
And he says, you know, one thing is mentioned in the Bible about the United States or what we perceive to be the United States is the land across the seas that represents the eagle.
Okay?
And that is the only mention of the United States during the last days, which is perceived by a lot of people that the United States isn't going to be around when all the turmoil really starts happening.
My presentation of that had absolutely nothing to do with the celebrity aspect of it.
It had to do with, as I thought I stated correctly the first time, and then restated again, simply whether alcohol should be treated as tobacco is treated legislatively.
That's all I said.
unidentified
I agree.
I agree with you there, and I guess it would be wrong of me.
I can't point specifically anything, but I've heard you sometimes, and it's like, you know, as much as I enjoy your show, I'd like to hear you admit, like, you know, you got me once in a while.
It kind of goes together with my theory of creation and evolution, and I believe that they go together.
And I believe that, as you pointed out, God, as our creator, created our mind, and we don't even begin to understand, or maybe we could say we've scratched the surface of our understanding of the brain.
Exactly.
And so the two easily go together.
unidentified
Right, and we cannot fully comprehend God either.
And as the creator of our mind, you know, etc., etc.
And he said, though, he did pin it down and say it will complete before the year 1995 is out.
unidentified
No, but he says we're in another window of opportunity clear through January, I believe.
But anyhow, if you listen to his tapes, and I've been listening to this onion head, and the thing of it is, he always provides cover because when something goes wrong, it doesn't go against his record.
But when something goes right, he says, see, I told you so.
Now, Mr. Clinton, ever since Mr. Clinton came into office, everything that's supposed to be up is up.
Everything that's supposed to be down is down.
And I don't care what issue you go through.
The deficit is down.
It's supposed to be down.
The trade deficit is down.
It's supposed to be down.
Exports are up.
They're supposed to be up.
The standard of living, according to the latest prediction, is supposed to go up next year because inflation is supposed to come in at 3% by the average increase in wages is supposed to be over 4%.
So that means the standard of living is going to go up at least 1% for most people.
Well, you know, about the last part, he really is correct.
Like it or not, believe it or not, all of the latest polls show that Bill Clinton will beat Bob Dole substantially, I might add, in a head-on race.
I'm sure you've seen it.
Clinton will whom Dole straight out and by quite a bit.
Now, of course, you know, what does a poll mean right now?
And you don't know until you get into a campaign what really is going on.
However, you should hear these polls as you would hear the rattle of a snake warning you that you're about to be bitten and come down with a severe illness that's going to last at least another four long hard-to-bear years.
I do not underestimate Bill Clinton.
I do not underestimate the capacity of the American people to again be taken in by somebody who will tell people exactly what they want to hear.
In other words, I don't think Bill Clinton is going to be a pushover at all in the election.
I don't think Bob Dole can beat Bill Clinton.
I don't think any of the other candidates, including Pat Buchanan, can beat Bill Clinton.
I speak of presently announced candidates.
I think that Phil Graham was not so much strong in the Iowa poll as Bob Dole was weak.
I'm frankly disenchanted entirely with the presidential possibilities for a race at this point.
And if you want to know the person I think that would give Clinton a run for his money, it's the Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich.
Think what you will of him.
The man is extremely intelligent, very fast on his feet, would put on a campaign that wouldn't take any Crapola from the Clinton campaign, and there's going to be a lot of that chucked, and could answer everything quickly and efficiently and would run a good campaign.
That's my view.
I know you may hate his guts, or you may not agree with me, or you may think somebody else is a better candidate.
That's my pragmatic look at it.
I don't think anybody else that I can imagine right now that is presently even considering running would have the chance against Clinton that Newt Gingrich would have.
First of all, in my high school studies, we had basic biology, zoology, and geology.
And if a person would have a basic knowledge of how formations are formed, different cataclysmic fissures underneath the ground, they would come up with the conclusion that the Earth is indeed going through a climactic and traumatic period right now.
Now, you can say he's full of bunk, and I have no problem with that.
But on the other hand, you ought to look into his percentage of success.
unidentified
Well, once again, I would like to have a scientific, maybe you should challenge the scientific community to come up with explanations on what's going on because I don't hear their voices.
I hereby absolutely, absolutely challenge anybody out there to dispute his record thus far or to match it using some sort of scientific basis.
Now, I have no idea, and I'll say it again, whether to say Gordon Michael Scallion is the real thing.
I'm only giving you my opinion.
I've had very extensive private conversations with Scallion, and his concerns, his interests, his intensity, in person, in private, is no different than you just heard in that interview.
No different.
When he gets me on a line privately, and we've talked for hours, we don't talk about selling his newsletter or any of the rest of it.
His center, his interest, his focus are his visions.
And that's it.
That's it.
And as a matter of fact, I talked to the Institute the other day, and he is presently tuckered out big time.
Totally tired.
Psychically wasted.
And it's from what's coming, what he's seen, and all the rest of it.
So You heard what he had to say, and as I said at the termination of that interview, you may and are welcome to conclude whatever you wish from it.
Take the good parts, reject the bad parts, put your head in the sand, say he's a fool, say whatever you want.
I simply presented it for your edification based on recent events.
Welcome to the largest live overnight talk show in America.
This is Coast to Coast AM.
It's good to be here.
Retrenching just a little bit and very quickly, I hope.
We've got word this morning that scientists from the University of the West Indies, Guadalupe, United Kingdom, and the U.S. Geological Survey, that's quite a group, now estimate an 80% chance of a major volcanic eruption at Montserrat in the Caribbean.
We talked to a number of people in the Caribbean, a couple of people here this last hour, in addition to replaying the Gordon Michael Scallion interview with regard to the Caribbean.
And that should have, really should have stood a few psychic hairs up out there.
And we're watching it carefully.
Big stories of the day running, that Saddam Hussein had his biological and germ warfare weapons locked and loaded.
13,000 gallons of anthrax, 130,000 gallons of botulism.
And the only reason he didn't use them was because George Bush said he would respond with nuclear weapons.
Again, proving nukes are great deterrents.
Only trouble is what happens when the engineer gets the high-grade stuff that he's been trying to get his hands on?
The engineer, you know the engineer?
That's what they call him in Israel.
Or somebody like him.
God help us.
Senator Luger said entire square miles of U.S. cities will vaporize.
And I don't doubt that.
And I said earlier, you know, our generation did the old duck and cover thing under the desk, remember?
And we worried about the big one.
I think our sons, our daughters, will have to worry about, well, I don't want to say the little ones, but the possibility of nuclear terrorism.
Today, one of the world's foremost forensic scientists put another hard foot into the prosecution's single killer case.
They've got more shoe prints there.
They don't match the shoes the prosecution said O.J. was wearing.
So who else was there?
You know, it seems to me as though the defense has saved the best for last.
I'm sorry, but I think they're clobbering the prosecution right now.
And I say this, still thinking, wavering, albeit a little bit, but thinking that O.J. Simpson is guilty, but, God, they're putting on a good case.
And then the Furman tapes.
It just gets worse and worse and worse.
You know, it is the leak of the day in the Fermentapes.
And the latest leak involves Furman saying things like, quote, referring to something called police, something called, what are they anyway?
I don't know what you'd call them, parties.
After they kill a suspect, he said allegedly, quote, it's like the end of a football game where you just won the championship and you're on the real high.
You're dominant.
You're powerful.
You're unbeatable, end quote.
Furman's new criminal lawyer says if he's called back to the stand, he may take the fifth.
Now, what do you suppose a jury that has not heard all these leaks, after hearing there are bloody footprints that are not his, hear the tapes, then hear Furman take the fifth?
What is that jury going to think?
Windows 95 is now out.
This is a major event in the computer world.
Now, I wonder how many of you have run right out and bought Windows 95.
I'll tell you, I've got it here.
And I have been chickened to load it.
I've actually started to load it into my computer.
I started down the trail of loading Windows 95.
And I canceled.
I chickened out.
I wonder about so many things.
I wonder, will my DOS programs all run in Windows 95?
Or will I lose something?
I wonder, will I still retain my old DOS?
Do I want to retain my old DOS?
I wonder whether I will like the new Windows setup.
I wonder so many things that I'm going to wait until some of you guinea pigs out there load her in, and I'll bet you by now, a lot of people went out and bought it at midnight, and by now a lot of you have got Windows 95 loaded in.
now are you happy campers or are you My computer, you know, has become so important to what I do that I'm scared to take a chance.
I admit it.
I'm scared.
Now I'm going to do it.
But I'm going to do it after I hear from a number of you who call and say, Art, you know, I just put Windows 95 in.
God, it's the best thing that's ever happened.
I love it.
Everything runs great.
I had all these programs I can use, no problem.
And when I hear that, then I'll go back there and reload it again.
What I really need is a copy of Windows 95 on 3.5 so I can get it into my into my laptop as well.
So anyway, I'm sitting, I'm waiting, I'm worrying, thinking, and I'm waiting to hear from all of you.
Those of you that are in the process right now, right this very moment, of loading Windows 95, by all means, call up and assure me.
Okay, well, I wanted to suggest a couple ideas for him if he wanted to approach something in the scientific term and that might lead him into some more spiritual terms, and that would be reading some books by the name of Deepak Chopra.
It's quite a conclusion to make, and I don't make that.
There are some racist Cops.
There are a lot of cops who have a natural prejudice based on what they do every day, a natural prejudice.
I'm going to say this again.
And in some cases, maybe, in Mark Fuhrman's, maybe not, it crosses a line from a natural prejudice based on what they do every day to real racism.
In other words, what is real racism?
It is an absolute hatred based on nothing more than a person's skin color or religion or whatever.
But generally, we know what we're talking about here, black people.
And so when it crosses that line, then you've got self-bad cop.
And how they keep from crossing that line amazes me.
If you understood the pressure they're under every day, it is amazing to me there are not more bad cops than there are, though that is kind of a contentious issue.
Because in the myths from the American Indians and the Sumerian epic of Gilgamesh specifically, they also speak about a flood and a righteous family that was saved because they built some sort of a vessel.
According to the American Indians, it was a hollow reed.
But I wasn't necessarily suggesting it would have a great effect just on Christians, ma'am.
It'll have an effect on the world.
In other words, wherever you draw your belief in that occurrence from, if it is substantiated, then a lot of people are going to return to faiths, not necessarily Christianity, any faith, belief in whatever Creator you happen to believe in, because, after all, it would just about take a Creator to flood the entire world, save animals two by two onto a great ship that ended up on Mount Ararat.
No, I think it'd put a lot of people in deep thought.
I, too, am excited about the prospect of scientists finally being able to investigate Noah's Ark.
I believe they have known the approximate location for quite some time, but there's always been some obstacle in the way of preventing investigation.
The quickening you refer to is not a secret to biblical scholars, and God may allow events concerning the Ark to proceed this time.
Like you, Art, I cannot accept something in my heart that I cannot accept with my mind.
That's why Christianity is unique compared to other religions.
Here we go.
The Ark will only be another piece of evidence to substantiate that faith.
That argues with what the lady just said.
I know end-time prophecy fascinates you, and it puzzles me why you refuse to have men who are experts in biblical prophecy on your program.
Men like Hal Lindsay, I don't refuse to have him.
Josh McDowell are just a couple who come to mind.
And no, Art, you do not hear the evidence or this type of apologetics in every church or on radio seven days a week.
Your audience, pro and con, would enjoy another unique twist to the kingdom of Nye.
Well, I guess I am familiar with biblical prophecy regarding end times, and I think that most of you who are Christians also are.
So I don't feel a need or am I driven to, in effect, have a preacher here, somebody who would sort of give us a refresher course on what the Bible says about the end times.
So there you are.
Nevertheless, I'm not closed to having somebody like Hal Lindsay on.
unidentified
it could easily occur.
you Now we take you back to the night of August 23rd, 1995, on Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
Art Bell, your recent interview with Patrick Combs, the gentleman who cashed the non-negotiable junk mail check, was most interesting.
He sounds like someone who enjoys testing the establishment as much as I do.
Listen to this.
Once when I stepped out of the shower without my glasses, I noticed what appeared to be a postage stamp on the bathroom floor.
Being the frugal person that I am, I put it in my desk drawer for safekeeping.
Several days later, wishing to mail a letter, I discovered that what I had put in the drawer was not a stamp at all, but rather a label that apparently had come loose from a pair of my fruit of the loom briefs.
Not having a real stamp, I noticed how much this label resembled a commemorative postage stamp in size and appearance.
So, you got it, folks.
He glued it to the corner of the envelope.
Recalling all the times when the Postal Service had delivered other people's mail to my house, I figured they wouldn't know the difference between a postage stamp and an underwear label.
So, in the mail it went.
And I'm proud to report that thus far, black helicopters and swarms of federal agents have not surrounded my house in retaliation for the crime I committed.
Also, the letter never came back, marked return to sender, or postage due, which proves the Postal Service is as efficient as ever.
What an ingenious way to entice people to buy a particular brand of underwear.
Putting postmaster-approved labels in your shorts.
Art, this experience has convinced me that the quickening you've been warning us about is really going to happen and apparently already well underway in the postal service.
I spoke with a minister, Keith X, day before yesterday.
I faxed them all the information, and he promises me he will try and pursue an interview with me with Louis Farrakhan in the very near future.
So it is in the works.
I did my part.
It's up to them now.
unidentified
And I just wanted to clarify something.
A while back you had a show.
It was about the race issue in the United States.
Yes, I recall.
And in regards to that, I just wanted to just make a distinction between Louis Farrakhan and Jesse Jackson from my political perspective.
And it's as follows.
that Jesse Jackson is a liberal, but then in order for a black to be a conservative, I think a conservative black politically is different than a white to be a conservative.
How is a conservative black different than a conservative white?
unidentified
I'll say it right now, because Louis Farkan represents a conservative black view, which is based on self-reliance and not blaming white people and the white power structure, whatever that is, you know, on the problems of black America and taking all the responsibility upon themselves.
Now, I'm willing to suspend my opinion until I interview him.
In other words, you're certainly right about his preaching blacks taking responsibility for themselves.
You're right about that.
But I'm not sure you're right that he doesn't blame whites.
He's done some pretty big blame on the whites.
unidentified
But just to end up, a black conservative that's conservative like you and conservative like the conservative wing of whatever the Republican Party is just a puppet that's because my brother's conservative and he's black is just a puppet that's serving the that's serving the existing power structure, I guess, but isn't going to get anything out of it himself or for his people.
And so to me, there's an old joke about when the house catches on fire, all the field slaves are out in the field going really, really slow.
And then the house, Negro, which I won't use the in-word, the house.
My story is the Massa's house catches on fire on the plantation, and the field Negroes are out in the field flowing around to the water buckets, and the house Negro, which is what a black conservative person is, is running around the house saying, Massa, our house is burning.
And that's the fallacy of trying to be a black conservative and not either being of the philosophy somewhere around Farrakhan or of Jesse Jackson.
And I'm somewhere in between.
And the reason why I think Farrakhan makes some of the inflammatory statements he does, and I'll get in trouble with this with a lot of Muslims, is because I think most political leaders say things that they know in their hearts aren't true to rally support.
And I think a lot of the anti-Jewish things he says is because he's getting money from some of the people in the Middle East.
My attitude about Louis Farrakhan is one of, it's a sort of a dual attitude.
I'm repulsed by a lot of what he said, and I'm attracted intellectually to a lot of what he said.
Certainly not the anti-Semitic kind of stuff.
But I'm intellectually stimulated by what he said with regard to blacks.
As his caller just said, he might be thought of as a black conservative in a way.
He does preach self-reliance very heavily.
He's got a lot of very fascinating things to say.
So we'll see.
We'll see.
he's uh...
unidentified
just somebody on my list of people that i would like to interview Now we take you back to the night of August 23rd, 1995, on Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
Well, that may be, but over a period of, say, 10 years, his accuracy rating is 86 or 7%, something like that.
And I, you know, you can say good guesses, and I've thought about that.
And sure, you can predict things are going to occur in the ring of fire, and they definitely will.
But wait a minute, Al, let me finish.
Then you can go.
When you predict the magnitude, the geographic location, and the time, and you do it again and again and again, well, I would think that if you were just making good guesses, you might do, like you do in Las Vegas, a little better than 50% if luck is on your side, but not up in the 80s.
unidentified
Okay.
Yeah, I mean, that's quite a valid point, but the question is whether a prediction in such a large area is really worth studying, or is it valid?
Art today, during a newscast on the same station that Mike Reagan comes on, whatever that is, this is from Phoenix, it was announced the old volcano at Mammoth Lake was giving off poison gas and that they had closed the area to tourists.
Did you hear about it?
In view of the volcanic action you're talking about in the Atlantic and the four-plus earthquake in central Japan today, these are certainly quickening things, Elaine.
There was also a shaker, a small one, I believe, near Santa Rosa.
There's just been a lot of it going on.
there's been a whole lot of it going on so i don't even No, I'm not.
I'm really not.
And I'm not ascribing this to a religious occurrence that is ahead or a scientific one or anything else.
I refuse to do that.
I'm simply noting for you as a talk show host who's been covering this and looking at it and monitoring it very carefully that it is going on.
I'll leave the conclusions about where it's leading and where it's from to all of you.
Wildcard line, you're on the air.
unidentified
It's Charlie, Libborne, California.
First of all, you had some religious guy calling.
You know something?
Here's what religious people do not understand.
They try to combine religion and science, and they're two completely different topics.
The guy who wrote Genesis, when he said the Earth was the, and the universe was created in six days, he could not have possibly have known that the sun is a second generation star and that the universe probably existed 10 billion years before the sun did.
He was talking about how this guy, I guess, fit all the animals of the Earth on an ark, even though I explained to him that it would be physically impossible, first of all, to collect all the animals and put them on the ark.
And if you go to the San Diego Zoo, for example, you look at all those animals, they don't even represent a small percentage of the animals on the planet.
And he was just, he simply said, well, God shrunk them down to size.
I said, well, you'd have to go all over the earth to collect all these animals.
He said, no, God made them all come to one location.
Because the two are not always mutually exclusive, Charles.
They're simply not.
A lot of science supports what religion has said, and vice versa.
unidentified
The people who wrote the Bible had very limited knowledge.
Even if they were scientists back then, you're talking about 2,000 years ago.
There's things that they simply did not understand.
It doesn't mean the Bible is bad liter.
It doesn't mean God doesn't exist.
It does mean that there were things that these guys simply could not have known.
And there's nothing wrong with that.
And actually, if you investigate the real world, if you really want to find out who God is, then you don't put blinders on it and say, oh, okay, the earth is 6,000 years old.
Human beings have been here.
We're the first created animals.
You don't do that.
If you really want to know who God is, you look at the facts and you direct yourself toward the facts.
And actually, if you do that, you actually see a rather awesome God if you believe in God.
You see a planet that's almost 5 billion years old.
You see a God that's capable of creating an entire species, letting it rule the planet for 143 million years, and getting rid of that species and putting mammals on the earth.
And he was talking about the fact that they've used resonating or sonar devices to locate walls, two walls in which the wood of the ark would be encased.
And that reminded me of the Chaldean account of the flood and the fact that the Chaldean ark, and the Chaldeans, C-H-A-L-D-E-A-N, were contemporaries or cousins of the Babylonians.
And their ark actually was encased with two layers, one on the inside and one on the outside of asphalt, which the ancients knew about.
And it would be like a tari petroleum mixture with some sort of gravel or stone mixed in with it.
So this really does not just the size of the Chaldean arc, which was 600 cubits, and that's much more in keeping with these aerial, these satellite photographs of the site, but the two layers of the binding material encasing the inside and outside of the arc fits in more with the Chaldean account.
And as far as the flood is concerned, I think we should examine the idea that there was not a general world disaster, but that glacial lakes held back by ice dams, which really existed into historic times.
In fact, maybe the striations along the base of the Sphinx were caused by the breaking of these ice dams with warming climate.
And I'm familiar with the general line that you're following, and that's how I came up with the six-year guess.
I really was not a guess.
I am familiar.
Thank you very much for the call.
and of course if she is correct Back to the OJ trial for a second.
Listen to this.
Kind of an interesting fact from Charlotte.
I observed an odd incident, which I don't know if anybody else noticed.
When Dr. Lee was talking about and showing a close-up picture of the key found at Bundy, Denise Brown suddenly leaned forward with a look of surprise and recognition on her face.
Supposedly, this key was from Ron Goldman's key ring.
But could it be possible she recognized the key as belonging to someone she knows who was not OJ or Ron Goldman?
It was a very short instance, but it's puzzled me all day because she did not seem really upset, just surprised to see that particular key at the Bundy scene with blood on it.
Then she leaned back in her seat and just looked politely interested in the rest of the proceedings.
Incidentally, the talking heads were saying how boring and incomprehensible they found Dr. Lee's testimony.
I was fascinated with his seminar and blood splatters and his evidentiary opinions.
I was too, and I thought he was, in fact, a very good teacher, and that was very important testimony.
Actually, I just wanted to tell you that I'm in Grand Rapids, number one, and between the time you come on and the time the other program before you, well, the program I listen to goes off, I have an hour where I listen to somebody else, and I called that guy tonight, and they had a screener, and it instantly turned me off.
Just, you know, screening is all right, and I guess for some programs, they have to do it because of the format, or because they only want to talk about one subject or because they don't want challenges, or I don't know why, you know, a million different reasons, but it wouldn't be as much fun for me.
And I've got to be honest with you, that's why I keep doing this because it's fun.
I am convinced, well, you know, as you know, the ratings for the program are absolutely astronomical.
As a matter of fact, yesterday, one of the first things they said to me on KCMO in Kansas City was, hey, Art, you know, you've got the highest ratings at KCMO, and that's very flattering.
And it's just, you know, beginning to move.
The ratings in the West or the Western third of the U.S. are uniformly Kersmash.
I mean, we're number one everywhere.
And now that process is beginning rapidly to move east.
And I'm very thankful for it.
And, you know, I don't totally know why.
I just know that when I come on and have fun, then everybody else seems to also.
There is no absolute subject material that we glue ourselves to at any given time.
It's always open line talk radio.
And I don't screen calls.
Now, I don't think that's all that magical.
It's just not done very frequently.
And so it's part of the equation.
It's not all of it.
I don't even know, and I don't even like thinking about it.
But it is different.
And it's more fun.
And I've got to do it five hours a night.
And if I always knew what was coming next, I'd be bored to death.
Well, you know, I mean, you're criticizing me for seeking to interview him, and yet you apparently sat down and on two occasions, not one but two, just admitted you listened to him.
And I Think it's you know, they're not telling, and I think it's very critical.
I would advise them, not that they're going to listen to me, to try to be neutral, to try to make it simply a presentation of here it is, you decide for yourself, maybe have a sit-down discussion afterward with some scientists or pathologists or various sorts of people, and I hope they don't whoop it up.
I hope they don't laugh at it, chuckle at it.
I hope they just, as they do in England, present it and allow people to decide for themselves.
You know, some people are probably going to say, you know, it's teenagers talking about drug problems.
Well, I'm not going to lie.
You know, I've tried marijuana and I'm not glorifying that or anything.
But what I don't understand is, you know, I've heard about the national debt and all this.
Why doesn't the government just, you know, like, take over this drug problem and, you know, like, say, well, if you're not addicted to it, you can't have it, you know, but try to help the people that are.
And, you know, if they've got to give them drugs, then give the people that are already addicted drugs and try to keep away from the other people because I think that would...
was lots of people that are hooked on prostitution men of black I would say sex is right up on there, up there in terms of human drive, right along with the need for drugs.
unidentified
So if that's the case, then how come we don't have places and hospitals offering help for people that are addicted to prostitution?
I was giving you, sir, a ridiculous example to try to tell you why our government shouldn't be in these businesses.
Prostitution or drugs or anything else.
That's not the purpose of our government.
We need to have a long talk one night about why we have government, what government should be doing legitimately, and what it sure as hell ought not be doing.
And it should not be in the drug business, nor should it be in the prostitution business.
The actual, the way I understand the story is the very day of the creation of Israel, 1948, there was an earthquake.
Right.
But I do not have the date.
Years later, when satellite imagery, and it was satellite imagery, so obviously it was years later, first detected the apparent presence of what seems to be or may be the ark.
unidentified
If you could maybe find out what is possibly a specific date that that satellite photograph was taken, I would.
I've always thought that one day as intermarriage continues, the races will sort of color-wise simply disappear, and then we're going to really need somebody to hate.
And see what are we going to do then when the color differences or the religious differences, they may not disappear.
But the color differences will.
I suppose we can then all still fight over religion.
Heaven forbid we don't have anything to hate for, huh?
And then I was just kind of completely blown out of the water when he brought up Vesuvius and Esuius because I know those are two very famous uh long active volcanoes uh in the Mediterranean.
And I absolutely you know, I'm no uh 100% Caribbean expert either, but uh I don't uh well he mentioned uh he mentioned he excuse me he met he mentioned the adjacency to Martinique and I I know exactly where Martinique is.
I was there three years ago.
So I promise you that's in the Caribbean.
unidentified
Well I'll do a little more checking on it pull out my localized map and see what I can find out.
And in addition and I don't have it now in front of me there is a volcanic activity doggone it Monserat Montserrat.
I don't need to find it.
That's what it was, Monserat.
It has according to USGS and a lot of the others an 80% chance of erupting shortly and they are presently evacuating.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified
Yeah, I'm Phil from Sacramento.
I was curious how many system operators that run bulletin boards, if they're having any problems like, you know, front end, front door type thing with the Windows 95?
I've heard, though, and this is the truth, that I think it's the truth, that bulletin board operators are going to love it more than almost anybody else because of the true multitasking, a real advantage in bulletin board operations.
unidentified
That's curious because I read a lot of Quick Mail and stuff like that.
That's offline mail for people to understand what that is.
But anyhow, there's a lot of articles in there of problems after problems after problems with Windows 95.
And I've read nothing but problems for system operations and stuff.
Yeah, but, you know, that's also a little like saying it sure is fun driving my 25-year-old Lincoln car when you could be driving a brand new, you know, whiz-bang something or another.
And so, you know...
unidentified
I've got my Windows 3.1 and DOS 3.1 backed up on CD-ROM.
You're listening to our bell summer in time on Premiere Radio Networks.
Tonight, an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from August 23rd, 1995.
So you think you...
Midnight at the oasis, send your camel to bed.
Shadows paint in our faces, traces of romance in our hair.
Heaven's holding our hair through.
Shining just for us.
Let's slip off to a sand, do it really soon.
Kick up the little dust.
Come on, cactus is our friend.
He'll point out the way.
Come on, till the evening end.
Till the evening end.
don't have the answer You're listening to Art Bell somewhere in time on Premier Radio Networks tonight an onshore presentation of Post to Post AM from August 23rd 1995 Ah good morning from the high desert I'm Art Bell And it's good to be here.
I've got a Windows 95 line open Windows 95 only on my Windows 95 line you're on the air good morning Art this is Jim in San Francisco KSFO Hi Jim how you doing?
unidentified
Oh, great.
Yeah, I'm going to hold off on that kind of stuff for a while.
I got through one, but it's always best to wait about six months or a year.
And I just wanted to let you know that I've been a facial beta test site for many months, and I've been banging on Windows 95 for over a year and a half.
And it's a great program, and this is where we're going into the future.
Right now, to make this transition, you are going, and you and I and everybody else are going to have problems.
For example, I'm using an AdevTech AHA 2940 FastWide SCSI 3 hard disk drive controller with a 2 gigabyte hard drive.
Now, so you're the second person who said that it hasn't had drivers for the video card.
unidentified
Yes, sir.
But as soon as I went out to Matrox, they're up in Canada and called their BBS and downloaded it, called at AppTech and downloaded the drivers, boom, everything is coming up.
But the antivirus programs such as McGaffee's, which is absolutely about the best you can buy.
And I do have Norton and I do have PZ tools, and you're going to tell me they're not going to run.
unidentified
No, and don't even try because you can really, you know, you can have long file names now in Windows 95, 100, and you try Norton's on it, you're going to trash it.
You're going to hurt yourself.
So don't even try Norton.
WordPerfect for Windows, a lot of people use that.
I use Microsoft Word.
But WordPerfect has got some bugs in it that's going to lock you up and give you some problems if you're doing certain things.
Otherwise, a Quicken version 4.0, Quicken 3 runs better on Windows 95 than Quicken version 4.0 does.
And I listen to you every night, and I love your show.
But Microsoft is coming out with Microsoft Office and Office Professional, and it's all recompiled and all done up for Windows 95.
So anybody that's using Word and Excel and all those flying programs like that, in the next 30 to 60 days, you're going to see a complete flood of new applications recompiled and built for Windows 95.
I'll tell you, I'll tell you that I think Macintoshes are going to be full of dust in garages all over America over the next 10 years, and it's going to IBM.
I didn't mean to bait you, but it just surprised me because when I looked at just watching on TV about the 95 and the whole way it's all set up is the way Macintosh has been doing it for years.
But I mean, it is amazing with the power PCs, because people always said that the Macintoshes weren't good because they didn't have the speed that the IBMs had.
But with the power PCs, they do have the speed now.
And that's one of the good things about people should have.
I mean, one of the things is, you know, your disk tools in your virus software, yes, that's going to go bye-bye because of the fact that we use a different file system now with the long file names, which those softwares aren't aware of.
There's that growing pain for everyone there.
And most of the manufacturers are ready or will be ready shortly for those.
They'll catch the viruses which it knows about today.
The one thing with virus software in general is that virus software, you always have to constantly upgrade it anyway because unfortunately there's church in the computer world which want to damage your machines for some kicks.
I don't understand why, but that way.
So that's what's there too.
I mean, even under DOS Windows 3.1, I really appreciate the call.
They said it's getting better because it was down like two months ago when I talked to you, but it looks like it's climbing up again in the murder rate.
