19960725_Art-Bell-SIT-Open-Lines-Flight-800-Drugs-Military-Conspiracies

Art Bell dissects the 1996 TWA Flight 800 crash, where NTSB/FBI now suspect a bomb or missile (not mechanical failure) after analyzing cockpit recordings mirroring Pan Am 103’s anomalies. He challenges listeners to decode a secret audio clip and speculates on terrorism—domestic or foreign—without claimed responsibility, while dismissing Clinton’s "I didn’t inhale" defense as disingenuous amid calls for drug policy reform. Callers debate crop circles (Butte, Nebraska; Shehalis, Washington), radiation links to UFO sites, and state-sponsored retaliation, like Iran’s alleged response to the U.S. Navy frigate incident. Bell defends capital punishment for premeditated murder but warns of wrongful convictions, tying it all to broader critiques of government overreach, failed policies, and the need for transparency in crises—both man-made and unexplained.

Hoax in Butte Nebraska 00:15:31

Welcome to Art Bell Somewhere in Time.
Tonight featuring Coast to Coast AM from July 25th, 1996.
art bell
From the high desert and the great American Southwest, I bid you all good evening, good morning, and welcome to another edition of the best in live overnight talk radio.
I'm Art Bell.
This is Coast to Coast AM from the Hawaiian and Tahitian Island chains all the way east to the Caribbean and the U.S. Virgin Islands, south into South America, north to the Pole and worldwide on the ever-growing internet.
unidentified
Here we are.
art bell
Good morning.
It's going to be an interesting open line type morning for you.
We've got a lot going on.
Well, I spent the better part of the midday today doing what anybody with the time to do during the day, with the time to spend, would have done, and that is watching the news conference of the MTSB and the various comments about Flight 800.
Now, the bottom line is fairly simple.
They, as you know, recovered the cockpit voice recorder and the data recorder.
They've had an initial look at them and have recovered precious little information.
Basically, at about 11 minutes and seconds into the flight, everything stops.
A catastrophic stoppage of power.
Now, it's very similar to Pan Am 103 in the sense that the various cockpit voice recording channels all recorded a very, very tiny anomalous sound just prior to the cutoff.
So that's all they've got to work with.
They are going to turn this thing inside out, upside down, inside out, and they are going to try to determine exactly what that sound means.
They will be looking at the data channels that, you know, monitor things like altitude and flaps and all the rest of that sort of thing.
They will monitor, they will do more work on those as well.
So they have teams working now on both boxes.
But to get to the bottom line, they now are coming out.
Even the FBI came out and said it now seems more likely it was a bomb or missile.
They certainly are not excluding the missile theory at all.
In fact, they're including it now.
One spokesman said mechanical failure.
That probability is down to about 5 or 10 percent.
So the bottom line seems to be, even though they don't know yet for sure, they say, he says, it looks like it was a bomb or a missile.
And as a result, tough new aviation security measures were announced today by our president.
And as a traveler next week, I want to thank him for that.
And I frankly have no problem with it at all.
More money, more time to check in.
Suits me.
I'm willing to go through it.
And most of all the interviews that I saw on CNN and elsewhere, people are saying the sensible thing.
You know, of course they're going to spend a few more bucks or a few more minutes in check-in to get searched.
I have nothing to hide.
There are a couple of things I want to ask about here, though.
One is they have a new machine.
We talked about this once before, but I actually saw it demonstrated yesterday, which, when you walk through it, unlike the old metal detectors, actually, I know this sounds unbelievable, but it can look through your clothing and see you naked.
Nude.
They actually showed it working.
And there walked a person with clothes through the detector, and oh my god, on the screen there was a nude person.
Now, in some way, this machine is able to, in essence, look through clothes.
Like the old, remember the old Superman x-ray glasses that didn't work?
Well, this one works.
It detects and paints the skin and goes right through the clothing.
It's not like it's looking at your internal organs as an x-ray would, but it goes through your clothing and paints you nude on the screen.
One other aspect that I don't understand exactly that they're going to do is interesting.
They are going to increase the number of people who fit what they call the terrorist profile.
Now, maybe you all can help me out with this.
What is a terrorist profile?
I'm really serious here.
What exactly does a terrorist look like?
Is it a disheveled person?
Is it somebody with long hair or earrings?
Is it somebody named Ahmed?
Is it somebody who looks nervous or sweaty?
I'm curious.
I really am honestly curious.
What is the profile of a terrorist?
Whatever that profile is, and they know and we don't, I guess, they are going to be questioning these people and looking carefully through their luggage.
At any rate, I really, personally, even with the nude thing, although I don't exactly like the idea, I don't have a problem with it.
I would rather go through that than die.
How about you?
So we still don't know.
What I think we're beginning to know is that clearly, well, I can't even say clearly, but everybody is leaning toward terrorist action.
What do you think?
Domestic or foreign?
unidentified
God, I hope it's foreign.
art bell
I really hope it's, you know, for our sakes, I hope this is foreign terrorism.
I really do.
Tomorrow night, we will do an experiment with the ability of people with computers to decipher secret messages.
Now, I'm not going to say any more about it than that right now.
But tomorrow night we're going to do that, sort of in line with what they're going to try to do with this TWA fraction, actually, of a second, that they're going to have to try to figure out, is this an explosion?
Is this a missile hitting the aircraft?
Is this some sort of catastrophic immediate disintegration in air due to, well, I guess I'm at the same place they are.
I just don't believe that could be.
Any mechanical, mechanically caused disintegration would take at least a matter of seconds.
Even if an engine let go and pieces of the blades went through, the turbine went through the fuel sacks.
There was a white explosion.
And so, you know, that kind of end for this aircraft would not explain the white flash followed by the, obviously, the fuel going up.
So I think we're down pretty much to the fact that it was terror.
No prior claims, so no interest in claiming responsibility.
So it's general terror, just to terrorize all of us.
So I guess there is no choice.
I mean, the president really is right.
We've got a crackdown on security.
It's sad.
America used to be a place where it was relatively safe to live and fly.
And yeah, you could expect an accident every now and then, but generally you didn't expect to be blown out of the sky with a bomb or shot out of the sky with a missile.
But I'm sorry, we have arrived at that point.
So those are my comments on flight 800.
I saw the entire NTSB press conference and the FBI people.
And you didn't have to read very far between the lines to know they were obviously talking about a bomb or a missile.
Now, crop circles.
Boy, do I have crop circle information for you tonight?
These things, I guess, come in pairs or I really, I'm at a loss to explain to you why we're getting so many of them all at once.
There's got to be a reason for it, I suppose.
I don't know what that reason is.
But as you know, there was one in Butte, Nebraska.
And somebody was kind enough to send me an aerial photograph of the Butte, Nebraska crop circle.
It is not as interesting, nor is the resolution of the photograph as good as the other two we've got up there right now.
However, I have indeed sent it to ye old webmaster Keith Rowland, who has placed it upon the net.
If you want to see what the Nebraska crop, the interesting thing about this one, even though it's a relatively simple crop circle, is Dr. Levengood, local police authorities and others have looked very, very carefully at this and have declared it not to be a hoax.
This is not a hoax.
And it's in a barley field as well.
So I would strongly suggest that along with Stonehenge and the double helix so-called, now we have the Nebraska Crop Circle on the web page as well.
And guess what?
I've got word and facts that we've got yet another one, folks.
IART just received this from the Center for Crop Circles Studies in Washington.
I'm sorry, the quality is not very good.
These are pictures of a crop circle that just appeared in Shehalis, Washington, just discovered Tuesday.
And he sent me a photograph of it, and it is very serpentine quality, a circle after circle after connected circle.
In this case, there are no straight lines.
However, the circle at the radius is connected to each one of the circles.
Fascinating.
If somebody will send me a JPG or GIF rendition of the Shehales Circle, we will get that one up on the net too.
But if you want to see the one in all places in Nebraska, that is now up on our webpage.
We try to stay ahead of the curve as much as we can, as you know, on everything.
So something's going on, folks.
Something's going on.
The Shehales one is pretty big.
Pretty big.
700 feet, I think, overall.
This is going to be harvested on 7.28.
So there's a couple days more, but it is in Shehalas, and somebody out there might wish to give me a call if you have seen it up there in Washington.
I'd like to hear from you.
And again, if somebody wants to send me the photograph of it, computer style, we'll get it up on the internet.
In the meantime, you want to see what we've got up there now.
We've got a good collection of three.
Stonehenge, which is a mind-blower, the double helix, Ditto, and the one in Nebraska, which has now been declared not to be a hoax.
That's up there.
So if you want to see them, it is www.artbell.com.
That is the webpage, www.artbell.com.
And I suppose it bears more discussion about crop circles in general.
unidentified
The hell are these things anyway?
art bell
A congressional leader says that the White House aide who resigned in the FBI files affair was, get this, quote, highly recommended by First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton.
It was William Klinger.
He did it on the House floor.
And oh man, did they get after him?
Klinger, in essence, said the First Lady had committed perjury.
He said it on the House floor.
Now, when you say something like that on the House floor, you are protected legally.
Had he walked off the House floor and said it, a number of Democrats, administration types, have said that he would have been sued.
They'd have sued him.
So this one is kind of getting in the First Lady's face, and it will invigorate the investigation.
It's all over whether or not she recommended Craig Livingstone.
She denied that outright.
I mean, they've got her on videotape denying it outright.
Well, if she did, then there is a problem here.
Definitely a problem for the First Lady.
unidentified
So we'll see.
art bell
We'll see where this goes.
Yikes Huh: Threatening South 00:02:54
art bell
And there's one other little item that you might want to consider, and it relates back to the Vince Foster suicide business.
You recall that Mr. Livingstone was one of those sent down to ostensibly identify the body of Vince Foster.
Well, Mr. Livingstone had never met, didn't know Vince Foster, couldn't identify the body.
So why did they send him down there?
And then you recall the mysterious keys.
So, you know, there's a lot that is going to be looked into.
And now, with the, you know, the flap over the first lady, why it's going to reinvigorate everything.
A tropical storm in the Caribbean, Caesar, and it will threaten to become a hurricane as it hits warmer waters.
It's threatening the South American coast.
Hopefully, it will not turn north.
Lafayette, Louisiana.
Here's one for you.
Man-oh man, here's one for you.
Quickening stuff all the way.
A doctor was charged with trying to kill his girlfriend by injecting her with blood from an AIDS patient.
Dr. Richard Schmidt, 48, was indicted Tuesday on an attempted murder charge and jailed without bond.
His attorney said Schmidt is innocent.
The 33-year-old woman, who was not identified in the indictment, developed suspicious symptoms just two months after Schmidt gave her what he had said was a vitamin injection, the grand jury alleged.
She later tested positive for HIV.
Lafayette Parish DA, Michael Harson, said that he would charge Schmidt with murder if this woman should die of AIDS.
Yikes.
The things that are going on out there, huh?
All right, listen, we're getting a whole rash of reports discussed last night on the program, you may recall.
The damage in Tahiti.
One Question, Different Phone 00:06:07
art bell
Do you remember that?
Do you remember the gal who called from Tahiti?
Well, guess what?
20-foot waves began lashing the shores of California today.
20-foot waves, 20-foot waves.
And they said, guess what?
It's from a storm in the Tahitian area.
Very, very interesting.
Very interesting.
Mega Kilo's art.
Here are the top 10 most asked questions to God.
Remember, we said, what question would you ask of God if you had the opportunity?
A ten.
Which religion do you practice?
What do you think God would say?
Nine, was it tough to be a single parent?
Raising your son Jesus, working six days a week, creating the universe.
Is life on earth real or memories?
If, as you say in the Bible, marriage is so great, then why isn't there a Mrs. God?
Six, is God your first or last name?
On what date will Bob Dole begin his campaign for the presidency?
When I die, should I follow the light or is it a trick?
Three, which is better, a Mac or a PC?
I wouldn't waste my question on that, would you?
Two, do you get both Dreamland and the full five hours of Coast to Coast Hymn in Heaven?
And the number one question asked of God is: Is that you, God?
You sound different over the phone.
That's from Steve in Portland.
Thank you, Steve.
unidentified
This is Premier Networks.
That was Art Bell hosting Coast to Coast AM on this Somewhere in Time.
You're listening
to Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
Tonight, featuring Coast to Coast AM from the 25th of July, 1996.
art bell
All right, this will also intrigue you.
It's under the category of strange ways to die.
And I've got several of them here, about three actually, collected since yesterday.
From Scott, who always writes a good facts in Butte Creek Farm, Oregon, listening to KEX.
Hi, Art.
Three questions you've asked this week got me thinking.
First, the weirdest ways to die.
Not long ago, there was a local suicide that, had it gone as intended, would not have been unusual.
The victim had intended on hanging himself, so he found a three-story house which was under construction.
Local building codes required the installation of an elevator.
The poor fellow obviously had no clue about the art of hangsmanship.
So he used a rope that was too big in diameter and gave himself too much slack.
He used the top of the elevator shaft as the jump-off point.
Well, the drop was too far, the rope too strong.
His head popped off like an overstressed rivet.
I always wondered if he had a second or two of consciousness to realize what had happened.
He goes on: If I could ask God only one question, it would be this: If you are the creator of everything and know all that will happen in the future, do we as people really have free will?
Ooh, that's a good one.
And finally, what do I know now that I wish I had known when I was younger?
I wish I'd known as much about the psychology of women as I do now.
It's probably a good thing that I didn't.
I would have gotten into a lot more trouble.
See?
And then these entries: one, a lady had just purchased a new home with a garage out back when she arrived to inspect how the movers had placed her furniture.
And it just begun to rain.
She decided to tie her pet dog to a corkscrew metal ground anchor while she went into the house.
So she turned the metal corkscrew anchor into the ground and, unbeknownst to her, into the underground electrical wire carrying electricity to the garage.
There, and then she was shocked to learn of her demise.
Item two: a young lady is pulled to a stop at a red light, which had changed suddenly.
She was in the right-hand lane of traffic in a small red convertible car with a top down.
In the left-hand lane was a truck full of hot tar mix to repair the roadway.
You can see it coming, right?
The truck attempted a fast stop at the light, but, as luck would have it, the load shifted, and the truck stopped momentarily, then flipped over on its right side, filling the passenger compartment of that young lady's sports car and thus sticking her with an untimely death.
Those two little diddies come from Dan in Nashville.
Ramona's Defense Questioned 00:07:59
art bell
Thank you, Dan.
Wanting also to know how did we do in the ratings in Nashville?
They're not in yet, Dan.
The next day or two, we'll tell the story there.
We're also, of course, very curious about that, WWTN in Nashville.
East of the Rockies, you are on the air.
Hello.
unidentified
This is the American Observer out of Houston.
art bell
How you doing?
unidentified
All right, how you doing, Arden?
art bell
Fine.
unidentified
I was listening to your interview with the lawyer the other night, and I find it extremely disturbing that this lawyer and others could refer to Johnny Cochran as unethical when they are writing books and making millions of dollars off of this trial.
art bell
Well, now, to be fair, the defense team also has written its share of books.
unidentified
Yes, that's true.
art bell
And I've interviewed people on that side as well.
unidentified
The prosecution started writing their books almost immediately.
art bell
Well, this is a book race.
I mean, we all knew that everybody involved on both sides and even the defendant, everybody concerned was going to write a book and pretty much has.
unidentified
Yes, and I hear that a movie may be in progress, but only from the prosecution books.
art bell
Really?
unidentified
Yes, that's what I hear.
You know what, whether OJ is guilty or not, and I prefer to take the agnostic point of view on that.
art bell
Yeah, well, I kind of think he's guilty, but, you know, only the big guy upstairs really knows.
unidentified
Right.
I prefer two or three witnesses myself.
Whether he's guilty or not, guilty people don't usually admit guilt.
And whether he's guilty or not, I would think that if you had a lawyer, you would want him to do anything and everything to get you off.
It's just that no.
art bell
That's reasonable.
unidentified
And Johnny Cochran and the other defense team, they put on a brilliant defense, plain and simple.
art bell
Well, yes, they did.
You know, I really can't deny that.
They did.
They did some things that I didn't think were ethical and right.
But that doesn't mean that it's wrong.
And an attorney, as you pointed out, is supposed to do everything in their power to get their client off.
I mean, that is their job, period.
Endo story.
unidentified
That's right.
And for people to criticize Johnny Cochran, I remember soon after the trial, people were referring to him as a low-down rascal and so forth and so on was ridiculous.
art bell
Well, most lawyers are thought of that way.
And there are many days I think of them myself that way.
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
But I mean, I guess they're unnecessary evil.
unidentified
Yeah, they seem to be.
They seem to come along with our Republican system.
Now, now, now, now, now, now, now, now, let us, let us, let us.
A president, a senator from Kansas is really.
Wait a minute, wait a minute.
art bell
Before you get going here, let us recall some evil deeds with attorneys employed by the ACLU that are not looked on with favor many times.
Look, there's lawyers on the left, there's lawyers on the right.
unidentified
I'm with Shakespeare.
Kill them all.
art bell
Goodbye, sir.
unidentified
All right.
art bell
Thank you.
And then there's lawyers with no ideological preference at all.
Their only preference is for color, and that color is green.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello.
tim in denver
Good morning, Art.
art bell
Good morning to you.
tim in denver
Let me be the first to wish you bon voyage.
Have a great vacation.
art bell
Oh, now I've got a week.
I've got a week.
tim in denver
I know, but let me be the first.
art bell
Thank you.
tim in denver
In case I don't get in the next video.
art bell
Oh, I see.
unidentified
All right.
tim in denver
And I hope he gets out plenty of pictures to get up so we can all visit and see what your vacation was like.
art bell
You can depend on it.
tim in denver
And a comment about the other night when people were calling in saying, suggesting that you take up remote viewing.
art bell
Yes.
tim in denver
My brother and I had a long discussion, and we thought of someone that would even be better than you.
unidentified
Who?
tim in denver
Your wife.
art bell
Why?
tim in denver
Why?
Because we think that you like to have more of a neutral attitude about things and approach things from the middle, and that would be getting you too far off into areas that you would rather report on as to be a part of.
However, I think that you trust Ramona.
I've met her.
I think she's the wonderful lady.
art bell
You're exactly right.
Your assessment is exactly right on the money.
tim in denver
And I think maybe it would be something you should sit down and discuss with her after the vacation or maybe during the vacation and see if she would be interested.
art bell
But one has to ask oneself, sir, whether or not it is a good idea that any wife or any husband be able to remote view their marital partner.
tim in denver
Well, I think she knows just about all there is to know about you anyway.
art bell
Yeah, she does.
It's true.
I'm just throwing a monkey wrench in there.
That's all.
tim in denver
What's the point there?
No, I really, I'm being very serious, very dead on, and I think she would be a great subject, and I think she would be a valuable asset to your show and great insight.
And plus, I think she would be honest about reporting back, you know, how she would.
art bell
And then when I got a really annoying call, like I got the other day, I would just say, Ramona.
unidentified
What's her address?
art bell
No, no, no, no.
We don't need addresses.
Remember, targets are provided by mere random numbers.
I would just say here, Ramona, take this number and hurt this person, will you?
tim in denver
And another thing we got an idea for a test is maybe come up with 10 or 15 subjects and label them with numbers and one night say, okay, callers, this is the number I want you to concentrate on and see what, you know, and kind of do your own remote viewing like you did with the object.
unidentified
All right.
art bell
Well, that's not, that's more like ESP, sir.
I was corrected very carefully by a lot of people in the audience.
That's more like ESP, frankly.
Well, I can see this is going to be an interesting morning.
Again, we've got the Nebraska Crop Circle up on the webpage.
There is a butte.
It looks like a butte, from what I can tell, in Shehilles, Washington.
Gosh, I hope I'm pronouncing that correctly.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hello.
Hi, Art.
art bell
Hi.
unidentified
This is Bill from Portland.
art bell
Hello, Bill.
unidentified
Yeah, I was wondering, I just got on your webpage, and I didn't see the crop circle, the new one.
art bell
Go to the Linda Howe area.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
And that's where they all are.
unidentified
Yeah, and I had another question.
Have you heard any more about that thing that attacked that dog in Tennessee?
art bell
No, you mean in well, there was something, yeah, in Tennessee, and then there was something in Florida.
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
And I think we're due to get results on the hair samples in Florida on Friday.
And I have not heard any more about Tennessee, but I wouldn't be out there walking in the nighttime.
unidentified
Yeah, you get that right.
Okay, well, thanks a lot, Art.
art bell
All right, sir.
Take care.
And good morning.
Wildcard line, you're on the air.
Hi.
Hello there.
Going once, going twice, gone.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Good morning.
unidentified
Good evening.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
Good afternoon, or whatever.
art bell
Well, if you're East of the Rockies, I'll bet it's morning.
unidentified
It's 2:45 here.
art bell
There you are.
Where are you?
unidentified
Rochester, New York.
art bell
Rochester, New York.
unidentified
A question for God?
Let's see.
art bell
Will Howard Stern's ratings hold up?
Why Seven Was Disturbing 00:03:01
unidentified
Well, you killed my punchline.
That wasn't.
art bell
See, I got your voice.
I know who you are.
I know exactly what you're going to say.
unidentified
I know.
art bell
Well, how about Howard Stern go to heaven?
unidentified
No, actually, I have to tell you the truth, Art.
I was listening to him today, and he was doing this little ramble on about Mother Teresa and Jesus.
And to tell you the truth, for the first time, I was actually offended listening to him.
Really?
Usually I just sort of take it with a grain of salt, but I actually switched the station.
art bell
Well, actually, you know, if you listen to Howard long enough, he will eventually offend just about everybody.
unidentified
It's been three years and he got me.
But, Art, seriously, I haven't heard you in about a week or so.
Did you finally catch Independence Day?
art bell
No.
No.
I'm about to make a transatlantic hop, as you know.
All right.
And they show movies in order to occupy our nicotine-starved minds.
unidentified
Could they really get a movie like that on a plane or a certain plan?
art bell
Oh, absolutely.
They run first-round movies on airplanes.
Oh, yeah.
unidentified
Is that new?
art bell
Oh, absolutely.
unidentified
I mean, I thought they were like a couple months old.
art bell
No, I would think Independence Day.
Well, then, on the other hand, Independence Day would not be a movie that I would show to an airplane full of people in 747.
unidentified
Right now.
art bell
Yeah, yeah.
So maybe not.
unidentified
Here's my last thing, sir.
art bell
Here it comes.
Here it comes.
unidentified
Well, this has nothing to do with Howard Stern.
Really?
Another movie thing.
I showed my wife Seven on video last night.
She'd never seen it.
art bell
Oh, my Lord.
unidentified
And she doesn't want to talk to me.
art bell
That's extremely.
Not everybody should watch Seven.
unidentified
She was very disturbed.
Yes.
art bell
It is a very disturbing movie.
unidentified
Now, did your wife have the same sort of reaction?
art bell
I had the same sort of reaction, sir.
I was very disturbed by that.
unidentified
I just wanted to get another plug-in.
art bell
But I'll tell you.
I see.
All right, thank you.
Look, I'll tell you: Seven is not for everybody.
I really mean that.
Seven, the movie, is not for everybody.
It is disturbing.
It is shocking.
It is dramatic.
It's well done.
There should have been an award for it.
There wasn't, and I think that it probably had to do with the truly disturbing nature of what it was and the graphic way in which they dealt with it.
But it was a brilliantly, brilliantly done motion picture.
It was not given the credit that it deserved, and I'm convinced, not that I'm a professional movie critic, but I'm convinced the reason it didn't get the credit it deserved was because of the kind of material that it dealt with.
That's just me.
Conservatives and Drug Users 00:05:35
art bell
All right, let's see.
It seems like we've got a thing or two that I've got to get done here.
What is it?
Why am I not?
All right, let's do this.
One, two, three, and we'll be right back.
Wild Card Line, you're on the air.
Hi.
charlie in unknown
Charlie, Liberal in California.
art bell
Well, well, speaking of crop service.
charlie in unknown
Let me tell you something about these darn damn conservatives who are attacking Bill Clinton's for letting people who, quote-unquote, have used drugs in the past.
art bell
Well, they may be damn conservatives, but they're not like the damned Democrats.
charlie in unknown
Let me tell you something.
You've got Newt Gingrich, who says he's smoking.
art bell
And by the way, I meant that in a biblical sense.
charlie in unknown
He smoked marijuana.
You've got this large Rush Limbaugh who says he smoked marijuana.
There are plenty of people who've smoked marijuana in their past.
art bell
So what?
charlie in unknown
That's the whole deal.
art bell
So what?
unidentified
Bill Clinton.
art bell
Well, look, they're attacking there have been, as you point out, people on both sides that have smoked pot.
We are now bringing a generation into power that smoked pot.
So what?
charlie in unknown
Exactly.
And for them to attack Bill Clinton's people on this is absolutely ridiculous.
They're trying to make Bill Clinton out to be some type of hippie, long-haired type of deal.
art bell
Well, now, in Bill Clinton's case, it was, I mean, come on, I didn't inhale.
You know, I took the smoke in my mouth.
Oh, come on, Charlie.
charlie in unknown
All Clinton was saying is that he didn't know how to smoke marijuana, which is absolutely accurate.
A lot of people, I know when I tried to smoke a cigarette for the first time, I don't smoke now, but when I tried to smoke a cigarette, I couldn't do it.
I was choking.
It was coming up my nose and everything.
art bell
This is absolutely no surprise.
Wait a minute now.
This is the Bill Clinton that must wander out outside the White House to smoke his occasional stogies.
Same Bill Clinton, right?
charlie in unknown
Well, it's just a bunch of personal lies that the Republicans are doing to dissuade us from the fact that they simply are not doing anything for the American people.
Let me say one thing, lastly, on welfare.
Yeah, Bill Clinton's going to sign this cold-hearted attack on kids.
art bell
He is.
charlie in unknown
But let me say.
unidentified
He is.
art bell
Now, wait a minute.
unidentified
Where'd you hear that?
art bell
Bill Clinton is going to sign a cold-hearted attack on children?
charlie in unknown
It's an election year, and it's the best he can do.
And let me tell you something.
At least he has saved a lot of children from the middle of the day.
art bell
Now, let me get this straight.
In order to save his own political hide, he's going to take food out of the mouths of children.
charlie in unknown
Well, I think that's the problem.
art bell
Is that what you're saying?
charlie in unknown
Unfortunately, in politics, because what's happened is the Republicans have taken over Congress.
art bell
That is the cruelest, coldest thing I have ever heard in my whole life.
I mean, if this is really a bad bill, as you say, and this president, just to save his lousy political hide, is going to sign a bill in the future.
unidentified
No, you're so tantalized.
art bell
And take food right out of the children's mouths.
That's horrible.
charlie in unknown
The whole thing is that Bill Clinton is doing the best that he can do with this extremist, right-wing, radical, cold-hearted Congress.
unidentified
Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.
art bell
Mr. Clinton could save his soul by vetoing this cold, awful child destroying bill.
charlie in unknown
Yeah, but then you would get that monster, Bob Dole, in there, who would sign something even worse than that.
And then you're talking about massive poverty.
And we don't need that.
We don't need that in this country.
It's about progression.
That's what it's about.
But it's a sad situation that this country has come down to that the conservatives have taken over, who obviously don't care about the elderly.
They don't care about kids.
Fortunately, we have Bill Clinton in there who does care about the elderly.
art bell
Well, then why is he going to sign this bill?
I mean, there are going to be children dropping dead on our sidewalks, Charlie.
charlie in unknown
It's not that.
It's just a bad thing.
art bell
And it will be the president's fault because he put his name to that bill.
charlie in unknown
I think it's the best bill that he's going to get.
And he knows that.
art bell
How can you call it the best bill when children will die, Charlie?
unidentified
I think I don't know if children will die, but children will die.
Wait a minute.
art bell
Children will not die.
charlie in unknown
They will be pushed into poverty.
art bell
Their little tummies will not bloat out for lack of nursing.
charlie in unknown
You're really starting to make me sick.
You obviously, you're just like your average darn conservative.
You don't have to do that.
art bell
You know what?
All that means to me is that I'm doing my job, Charles.
Have a good morning.
I haven't had so much fun in a long time.
You know, the one thing I agree with him on is this marijuana business charges back and forth, kind of useless.
So, I actually agree with him on that.
But, come on.
I didn't inhale.
Oh, come on, Mr. Clinton.
Nobody, nobody, I suspect even on the president's staff, buys that one.
Somewhere in Time 00:14:27
art bell
All right.
unidentified
God, that was fun.
The trip back in time continues with Art Bell hosting Coast to Coast AM.
More Somewhere in Time coming up.
Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
Tonight, featuring Coast to Coast AM from July 25th, 1996.
art bell
It certainly is.
Good morning, everybody.
It is very good to be here.
open lines tonight the nebraska crop circle photographs uh... is now on my webpage You'll find it in the Linda House section along with the other crop circles.
There is a new and fascinating crop circle in Chehalis, Washington, and I've got a photograph of it.
This one just discovered.
So, crop circles everywhere.
Flight 800, a continuing subject of discussion.
You all should by now be aware of the events of the day.
There's a very little teeny, teeny bit of audio that they're going to try to decipher.
It's a tough job.
I'll tell you what, it's a tough job they face.
It's a fraction of a second.
And I'm going to give some of you computer users a little job yourself trying to decipher something that I happen to have.
And I don't want to tell you too much about it just yet.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air, huh?
unidentified
Just Danny from Clarkmouth, Oregon.
art bell
Yes, and what's on your mind?
unidentified
When you're on vacation, do you think you'd ever play the very first broadcast you did?
art bell
I don't even know if I still have the first broadcast.
unidentified
I'd like to hear that, Man.
I see how you were.
art bell
I don't think I have it.
unidentified
I just wonder.
art bell
Well, you'll have to consult with someone else then because I don't have it.
The very first broadcast I did win.
I've done this show for a dozen years.
Other shows before it, up and down the dial, as they would say.
I've got some very, very old broadcast tapes.
I've played those on occasion.
They're very embarrassing.
They really are very embarrassing.
As a matter of fact, I can't listen myself.
For example, on the weekend when some stations repeat the show, I can't listen.
I can't do it.
Gives me the heebie-jeebies to hear myself.
I don't know why.
It's been that way all my life, and I know I can hear the echoes out there.
unidentified
Well, we can't take it either.
art bell
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hello.
Well, hello, Art Bell.
art bell
Yes, sir.
Where are you?
unidentified
On the Kansas Corn Servity.
art bell
All right.
john anderson
Maybe I can do something to take people's minds off that midwit from Southern California.
art bell
Oh, I had that was too much.
That was the most fun I had with Charlie in a long time.
He was getting real irritated.
unidentified
Yes, he was.
john anderson
Hey, I heard a really unique theory on what happened to Flight 800.
art bell
All right.
unidentified
Did a little checking on it myself here.
john anderson
Turns out there's a restricted area, military restricted area, that parallels the coast of Long Island.
unidentified
That's nautical miles.
art bell
That's true.
unidentified
South of there.
Yep.
john anderson
And there were a lot of eyewitnesses that swear to God they saw it was a flare go from down toward up.
art bell
Actually, the most important eyewitnesses, sir, were two military men quoted by ABC who said that it was a missile.
They didn't say flare.
They said missile.
john anderson
And I'm sure they've seen quite a few of those because they were both fighter pilots, as I understand.
unidentified
That's correct.
Okay, anyhow, talked to my cousin.
He's an airline captain.
art bell
Right.
john anderson
And he couldn't help but wonder what was that thing doing as far south as it was because air traffic control generally keeps them well north of that.
And there was some kind of an exercise going on out there.
art bell
There was, but wait a minute.
unidentified
Hold on.
Okay.
art bell
An important fact to note here, and I've checked on it, the exercise that was going on that a lot of people think was live fire was not.
None of those aircraft, not one, was armed.
unidentified
No, none of the aircraft were.
john anderson
But this could well have been a surface-to-air missile that belonged to the United States Navy.
In other words, I think it wasn't terrorism.
unidentified
I don't think it was a mechanical accident with the plane.
I think it was hit by a missile.
john anderson
But I think it was one of our missiles by mistake.
art bell
If it was, then we deserve to have a new government.
unidentified
Well, we deserve that anyhow, Art.
art bell
In other words, they would know it, sir.
There is no missile that's going to be fired from either an aircraft or ground that they are not going to be aware of.
unidentified
Correct.
art bell
And that would mean the military would be aware of it and would be keeping it secret, and that would produce a revolution.
I don't believe that's, and I don't want to believe it.
john anderson
Well, I don't want to believe it either, but it's just not going to surprise me if that isn't what it is because the government has been giving us so many different stories.
I mean, Pataki says one thing, and transportation says something else, and it just looks like there's a shookup.
They don't know whether to hold Southern expression scraps or watch or blind or behind right now.
art bell
I hear you.
Look, sir, I appreciate your call.
Thank you.
But I'm not even, at this point, I'm not willing to consider it because the military would be well aware they had shot that plane down.
I do not believe our military would cover that up.
Oh, how naive you are, Art, right?
Everybody's going to say how naive you are.
I don't believe that.
I don't believe our military would cover it up, honestly, folks.
unidentified
I don't.
art bell
If that adds up to me being naive, fine.
I think two things.
I think it is either domestic or foreign terrorism.
One of the two.
It was either a bomb or a missile, but not one of ours.
We'd have owned up by now.
Actually, rather quickly.
So that's my take.
I'm sorry if that makes me a naive person, fine, but I'm still going to believe our government is that honest.
So there you are.
And I'm going to catch it over that.
I know.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello.
unidentified
Hi, Art.
My name's Marty, Burlington, Washington.
art bell
Hi, Marty.
unidentified
I'm just wondering whatever happened to Leonard.
art bell
really wouldn't have any idea.
I mean, if someone stops calling, I'll tell you what I think might have happened to Leonard.
The last call that we had from Leonard was a call that got him in a lot of trouble.
Oh, no.
He thought we had a story one night about somebody who hung a cat from a tree and let a dog rip its guts out for entertainment.
And Leonard called up and said, who cares?
A cat is a cat.
A cat is a cat.
It has nothing to do with a human being.
unidentified
So there's nothing wrong with that.
art bell
And a lot of people who had been followers of Leonard, because of his religious proclivities, I think stopped at that point.
And I think that Leonard got very discouraged.
Maybe he realized he said the wrong thing.
Maybe he was sorry for what he said.
Maybe he was disgusted with the reaction.
I'm not exactly sure.
But that was the last call we got from Leonard, and there hasn't been one since.
So that's just a guess.
unidentified
Sure.
Well, whoever would do something like that, that's one of the first signs of pretty bad things following.
art bell
Well, it's kind of religious extremism, way beyond that, which I believe in.
Yes, animals are animals and humans are humans, but to have that kind of cavalier about an animal that you would allow it to be tortured like that, that's not part of my religion.
unidentified
Sure.
Then you still have your air purification units.
art bell
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
unidentified
Yeah, great.
Yep.
I work with them in good units.
Anyway, listen to the old time, really enjoy the show.
It's hot up here, and I can't believe.
art bell
Yeah, it's hot down here, too, sir.
Where are you?
Oh, how close to Shahalas are you?
unidentified
Shahalas.
Ah, boy.
I'm guessing I'm about an hour and a half north.
I'm adjacent to Anacorda.
art bell
All right.
Very good.
I appreciate your call, sir.
Thank you.
Shahalas, Washington, is where the latest crop circle has appeared, and she's a winner.
I mean, this is hard to tell because I've got it on facts.
I don't have a high-res picture of it.
I suspect I will shortly.
Please, somebody, anybody with a good aerial view here, it looks really interesting.
Really interesting.
God, where are these things?
unidentified
What are these things?
art bell
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hi.
unidentified
All right.
Nice to speak to you, Mr. Brown.
art bell
And to you, sir.
Turn your radio off, please.
unidentified
Sure.
I just did it as we were speaking.
art bell
This is good.
unidentified
This is an honor to be on your show.
A lot of people down here love your show.
I'm from Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
art bell
Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
Yes, sir.
All right.
unidentified
I just wanted to make a brief comment regarding the capital punishment issue and appeals.
art bell
Yes, please.
unidentified
You're familiar with Reuben Hurricane Carter.
He was a boxer.
Bob Dylan basically tried to make him famous in his problem in a song called Hurricane.
And the guy was a champion boxer.
And what happened is he was incarcerated for a murder in 1967.
And Bob Dylan donated money and a lot of his friends for Carter's release.
And he was not released for about 18 years, but he was released in 1985 and found innocent.
And if you're wanting to make just a few appeals in a case like that, the innocent man would have died.
And it's just a hard call.
I can understand the plight of people whose children die and stuff or whatever are people who die in murders.
But it would be much worse for us as a culture to kill an innocent man than for an individual to kill an innocent man, in my opinion.
But that doesn't really matter, but I just appreciate you giving me a chance to say that.
art bell
Well, you said it, and thank you for the call.
unidentified
Hey, thank you.
art bell
Take care down way down south.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hi.
This is Joe from Santa Maria, California.
art bell
Hi, Joe.
unidentified
How's it going?
art bell
It's going.
george ure
I was fascinated by the crop circles at Stonehenge.
art bell
Oh, they're remarkable.
Absolutely remarkable.
george ure
I had talked to you before about crop circles last year sometime.
art bell
Yes, you know, now I've got the photograph now of the one in Nebraska up on the webpage as of tonight, and there is a new one in Shehales, Washington.
george ure
Yeah, I can't wait to see pictures from that.
art bell
So they're all over the place.
The big question is, what are they?
I mean, what can form patterns like this?
We know it's not human beings.
Doug and Dave did a few of them.
These are not.
Certainly, Stonehenge is an example of one not done by humans, no question about it.
So then, what is it?
george ure
I have a feeling they're something of unembodied beings.
unidentified
And they it unembodied beings?
Yeah, beings of light.
art bell
Well, then, what do the crop circles then represent?
I mean, what are these beings trying to say?
unidentified
Well, I theorize.
See, do you know what fractals are?
art bell
Yep.
george ure
Well, I've made a video with a friend of mine of a collection of fractal images, and I wrote music for it.
unidentified
And I was wondering.
art bell
Are you the guy who sent me an email about that?
unidentified
That's right.
Uh-huh.
art bell
Yes, I got your email.
unidentified
Oh, okay.
art bell
Thank you very much.
unidentified
Sure.
art bell
Take care.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hi.
unidentified
Hello.
art bell
Hello.
unidentified
All right, this is Scott from Redmond, Washington.
art bell
Well, hi, Scott.
unidentified
You know, I just wanted to call you and comment on that nitwit Charlie from Southern California down there.
art bell
Yes, mm-hmm.
unidentified
And what is so difficult about seeing that these people in the White House, the thing they're doing wrong is not admitting that what they did was wrong.
All they're doing is saying, so what?
I smoked pot back in the 70s.
But they're not acknowledging that what's wrong with you.
art bell
I frankly think it's close to the time when both sides regarding pot ought to drop the whole thing.
That's the only part that I thought he was right about.
We've got a whole generation.
Look, a lot of people that smoke pot.
Let's get down to cases here, all right?
A lot of people that, when they were in their teens, smoked pot because it was a thing to do, have now grown up, become wiser, and have become conservatives.
Time to Stop 00:11:37
art bell
Another group of them never got wiser, remained liberals.
Both sides, probably the majority of them, or a good half of them anyway, of the whole generation, smoke pot.
So it's probably time to stop on both sides.
I really do agree with that.
The only thing that I found ridiculous, like the rest of the country, is the I didn't inhale part.
unidentified
Oh, yeah.
What kind of character does that show in our president?
art bell
One who probably is sensitive to every little political innuendo or thing that might harm his career, and so kind of went halfway.
You know, I took it in my mouth, but I didn't take it in my lungs.
unidentified
Oh, the guy's got zero character.
I really think so.
And, you know, talking about the welfare thing and the liberal side constantly bashing the Republican side for wanting to take food out of baby's mouths and medical care away from the elderly.
What is so difficult for them to see?
Why is it so hard a concept to understand trying to teach people to make their own way and giving them some kind of incentive?
art bell
The answer is it's not, and that's what that bill really is.
But because of the way Charlie came at it, you know, the usual we're going to remove the food from children's mouths and starve them to death.
And because he said the president was going to sign the bill, I thought for a change, I'd just turn it around on him.
And what I noticed is he couldn't handle it.
He couldn't handle it.
And he walked himself right into that one.
I mean, he might as well have taken out a 357 and put a 357-size hole in his foot.
That was so too easy.
Wildcard line, you're on the air.
unidentified
All right, Bill, great to hear from you.
Hey, got a suggestion for your vacation.
Put some stand on Daniel and Brinkley reruns on.
That'd be cool.
art bell
You're going to hear Daniel while I'm gone.
unidentified
That's going to be excellent.
And I don't know how you couldn't vote libertarian after that Harry Brown interview last week.
How could you not?
art bell
Because of drugs.
unidentified
Well, you know, that's well and good.
But, you know, your argument, like, what about Art's bag of heroin?
Who'd buy Art's bag of heroin from Juan Valdez's back 40 when I could get it from my local pharmacist?
Who'd buy it?
art bell
Well, that's not my argument.
I think that it would lessen crime to some degree for a while, but those who have been making their living by selling anybody's bag of heroin would turn not to flipping burgers, which would probably be their only marketable talent, but to some other form of crime.
So I think the crime argument doesn't stand up.
And I think, and if you can argue against this, go right ahead.
But I think...
unidentified
Well, I can't argue against it.
No, no, no.
Why not up the competition?
You're not a real criminal.
art bell
Sir, you didn't let me finish.
Yeah, you didn't let me finish.
unidentified
Okay, I'm sorry.
art bell
What I really am worried about more than anything else, the crime argument aside, is that we would end up with a whole lot more addicts.
Now, argue against that.
unidentified
Argue against that.
Yeah, sure.
The argument against that is that legalization, regulation, and taxation end up with the weakening of substances, not the strengthening of substances.
todd robbins
Smart people want to buzz.
unidentified
They don't want to get inebriated.
And the proof.
art bell
No way.
unidentified
Historical proof is here.
art bell
Unumo mentu, please.
The buzz people are smoking pot.
All right?
I don't want to have that argument.
Hey, the buzz to the bottom of the business.
Let me finish.
Agreed.
Agreed, agreed, agreed.
Wine, whatever, buzz people.
unidentified
Those are buzz people.
art bell
But I'm talking about heroin addicts, cocaine addicts, people who require increasing dosages to be satisfied with the high they achieve, right?
Those people are a separate category, and those drugs, brother, are a separate category.
And if you don't think cheap, easy drugs in that class would turn a nation into a nation of two or three times the number of addicts we have now, then you're just not thinking straight.
unidentified
Well, how about this?
We tax it, and we take the money from that taxation.
We put it into treatment.
We put it into education rather than taking that money and putting it into a dealer's pocket.
art bell
Okay, well, you have not convinced me that we would not end up with two or three times the addicts that we have now.
Alcohol alone counts for about $100 billion in loss to the economy every year.
Multiply that by many times, many times, and you've got the situation you'd end up with if you had all drugs legalized.
You asked me, why don't I vote for Harry Brown?
My answer was drugs.
It remains drugs.
I'm considering and thinking about this whole thing.
But every time I go into a deep thought pattern about it, I come up with this answer and I can't get past it.
First time caller line, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hi.
art bell
Hi, Art.
unidentified
I just wanted to call you and ask you.
This is Ron from Stockton, Art.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
You know, correct me if I'm wrong, Art.
You know, that airplane that 800?
yes okay uh...
art bell
they said that they got the black box and everything and they had something like what eleven minutes of uh... a little over eleven minutes of uh... you know that the people in the press corps asked him were all the parameters normal prior to that last little fraction of the second And he was unable to answer.
At that point during the press conference, he had a fax saying only that they had that last little bit.
unidentified
Yeah.
Art, I know you don't know what happened or anything, but what happened to that SOS?
I mean, May Day.
Somebody hearing about this.
art bell
Yeah, of course I do.
Somebody said they had heard a May Day Mayday, and that was all they heard.
The answer is that was a false report or it was incorrect or something.
Listen, we're here at the bottom of the air.
Do you want to hold on?
unidentified
Sure.
art bell
All right, then stay where you are.
We'll be right back.
There was a report about a May Day, and I don't know what happened to that.
unidentified
This is Premier Networks.
That was Art Bell hosting Coast to Coast AM on this Somewhere in Time.
And I think to take you back to the past on Art Bell Somewhere in Time.
art bell
I'm so in love with this thing.
Runs around in my head during the day.
Good morning, everybody.
I'm Art Bell.
Back now to our caller.
Thank you for holding.
You're back on the air again.
unidentified
Yeah, Art.
celerino castillo-iii
Yeah, I was wondering about that SOS.
unidentified
You know, it kind of made me upset because nobody doesn't, you know, these reporters, they're so hungry for news, and they, but you answered me.
You know, you told me what happened about that SOS.
It was a farce.
art bell
No, I don't know that to be true.
Now, nobody ever got a recording of it.
Nobody ever played it.
No news organization ever got their hands on it.
So I assume that it was a false report only on that basis.
Look, who knows?
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
You know, Art, another thing, too.
I don't know if I misunderstood you or what about the drug deal.
Were you for it or against it or what, Art?
art bell
Oh, I'm against legalizing drugs.
You know, you were saying that.
No, I've talked about being for decriminalization of marijuana.
But I don't want all drugs available for cheap prices.
We're crazy if we do that.
unidentified
Well, you know what, Art?
I feel that they should legalize marijuana and stiffen the penalty on crack cocaine.
art bell
That's exactly the way.
unidentified
And all this other stuff.
Now, make it, Art, to where if you get caught with a dime rock, you're going to do five years.
art bell
Well, the problem with that, of course, is, thank you for the call.
But the problem with that is That our jails are so completely full of drug offenders that the people who are committing violent crimes are frequently getting out.
I mean, we had mandatory minimums for drugs.
And the only thing that did is stock our jails full of druggies and frequently kick out violent offenders early.
So that didn't work.
You know, I think it's time to rethink how to approach this.
But it's not time to run up the white flag.
I hope most of you, or some of you at least, consider this to be an intelligent approach.
I appreciate Harry Brown's point of view, but don't agree with him.
I simply don't agree with him.
And it's always been a catch point for me with regard to libertarianism.
I have a lot of libertarian in me, but that's not one of the bones.
So we need to rethink the whole drug thing.
We need to be honest about it.
We need to tell the truth to our children so they don't begin climbing the ladder.
And I think that marijuana and classing it with the other drugs frequently actually helps them go up the ladder because they tripod and they say, ooh, wow, my brain didn't completely fry.
I still seemed to be okay.
It wasn't bad.
It was a buzz.
It's like alcohol in a way.
Maybe not as dangerous in a lot of ways.
And so then it's easy for them to conclude, well, then if they lied about that, let me try this.
And then they try something that really gets them hooked.
And then we've got a higher percentage of hardcore drug users on our hands.
So number one is tell the truth.
Number two, don't run up the white flag.
Number three, reformulate the drug war and attack it in some different way.
And what that way is, I'm not, I don't know yet.
I'm thinking the whole thing over, and maybe you have an idea.
First time caller line, you're on the air.
Hi.
unidentified
Yeah, how you doing, all right?
art bell
All right, where are you?
unidentified
Baton Rouge, Louisiana.
art bell
Okay, Baton Rouge.
Yes, sir.
unidentified
Listen, I was listening to what I think was a rebroadcast from some guy from Bemidji, Minnesota, talking about the space aliens and his weirdo quotient went from two to ten all of a sudden.
Ugly Ugly Chupacabra 00:03:06
unidentified
And he's talked about the chupacabra.
What are the chupacabra?
Oh, I have to explain the chupacabra again.
art bell
The chupacabra is either a mythical or real creature that was first noted in Puerto Rico, then South America Central, and then in America, that sucks the blood from the animals that it kills.
unidentified
Okay.
Well, I guess that answers that question.
art bell
And one more thing.
It's ugly.
unidentified
It's what?
art bell
Ugly.
unidentified
Ugly.
Okay.
But ugly.
Okay.
Okay.
I got some advice for you.
You still having problems with your Windows 95?
art bell
No, look, I don't have problems with Windows 95.
unidentified
Well, you know, you said you had to go through all those steps to get to where you want to be.
art bell
Yeah, that's the way I look at it.
That Windows 95 has problems.
You see, I look at it a different way.
unidentified
Well, listen, I found a way around all those steps.
art bell
There is a good way.
You format your drive and put 311 back on.
unidentified
There's another way.
art bell
What is that?
unidentified
You can right-click your mouse button and go to create.
And you can create a new folder and put the folder on your desktop.
And you're like, can I have a utilities?
And they can go and get the files you like.
You could drag them over to the desktop and drag them out of the file or you can open the file and you have everything right there.
art bell
Oh, it's quite a drag.
All right, sir.
I appreciate your call.
Yeah, look, I know.
I just haven't paid, you know, I haven't spent enough time with Windows 95 yet.
So it is more my problem than that of Windows 95.
But like the guy says in the funny thing I play occasionally about Windows 95, why did they have to make it so complicated?
I mean, it is.
It really is, for me, complicated.
311 was so simple.
And that just may be because I was very familiar with 311, but I still, at this very moment, say I like it better.
And I really don't want to get into a big argument about Windows 95 and 311.
I just don't want to do it.
I have not yet crossed the threshold of even liking Windows 95, much less loving it.
Yes, it's possible to love computer programs.
It's not like a man-woman kind of love, but it's a love.
And I don't even like it yet.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hello.
Heart, this is Doug in Jackson, Tennessee.
art bell
How are you doing?
unidentified
Pretty good.
Legalizing Drugs by State 00:15:33
art bell
All right.
ronald macdonald
I was just calling about Harry Brown and his position on legalizing drugs.
art bell
Yes, sir.
ronald macdonald
You know, I really believe his position is just to turn the power over to the states, and each individual state should be able to decide for themselves whether they want the drugs legalized or not.
And, of course, this would create a lot of examples around the country, and we could look to all the individual states and their positions and see which ones work and which ones don't.
art bell
All right.
What would you want done in Tennessee?
unidentified
Whatever the people in Tennessee want it done.
art bell
Well, I didn't ask that.
I said, what would you want done in Tennessee?
unidentified
Oh, I think I would be for the legalization of drugs.
You would?
Yes, sir.
art bell
And suppose you've discovered that Tennessee legalized drugs, and all the states around you decided not to.
And all of a sudden, all these druggies came rushing into Tennessee.
And you had druggies all over the place.
Now, would that be a bad thing?
ronald macdonald
Well, it would be something that we could decide at the next election.
unidentified
If it proved to be a failure, then we could correct the situation.
art bell
One little hanging point there.
By then, you've got so many addicts that it's so far out of control that you might not be able to do that.
unidentified
Well, it might also be that it is successful.
And that we find that not a problem.
art bell
Yeah, but, sir, what a risk.
What a risk.
I mean, you're really willing to roll the dice like that?
ronald macdonald
Well, I think it's something that our founding fathers built into the Constitution that the United States is a very important thing.
art bell
Let me suggest something.
I thought of this before, and I'm willing to talk about it now.
In order that we might find out if this could work, I would say take one place.
Don't make a nationwide change.
Take one place, either a portion of a state or an entire state, and legalize it there.
And let it be the grand experiment that will end all arguments about legalization of drugs.
And it would be my bet, and I'd be willing to put money down, that it would be an abysmal, horrible failure.
But that's my bet.
Now, would you be satisfied with that?
ronald macdonald
Well, I'd be satisfied with it, but I do prefer that we look at a Constitution.
I think our founding fathers were very intelligent in giving the people the option to leave states where they find it their beliefs are not they have the option to leave their state and go to a different state that More follows their values,
and consequently, I think that's one reason why the founding fathers put didn't allow limit or excuse me, I'm a little nervous, but they didn't allow their states to put limitations on the ability to move from one state to another.
art bell
Well, I'd be willing to bet you that if you were to put it to a Democratic vote in any one of the states in this whole union, you couldn't get one state to even come close, and I mean even close, to voting in the legalization of all drugs.
ronald macdonald
Well, that's fine, and that that would be the choice of the state, but at least we'd have the federal government out of it, and it would be the state's rights.
art bell
All right, sir, thank you.
Well, on the other hand, you might argue that the Constitution properly inculcates into our federal government some power with regard to the health and welfare Food and Drug Administration, for example, so that we don't get a bunch of quacks dispensing drugs that knock people off and kill them, that sort of thing.
So, you know, there are some proper functions of government.
I'm for a smaller government, but there are some appropriate national defense is another area.
National defense, the health and welfare of the people.
Now, I don't want to see that extended to the point that the cameras go in the bedroom, all right?
And I am for a smaller government, but there are some appropriate functions for government as well.
And I view the harder drugs as a true danger, a true danger to our national security.
So there you are.
First time caller line.
unidentified
You're on the air.
Good morning, Art.
People from Philly.
I have to call about Charlie the Liberal.
art bell
Did you say Philly as in Philadelphia?
unidentified
Yes, like where we still can't hear you.
Well.
Soon, I know, soon.
art bell
Yeah, boy, getting close.
I'll tell you, Washington, D.C., come Monday.
unidentified
I know.
Congratulations.
I envy the people in Washington.
But that's also what I was talking about.
Charlie was complaining about the Clinton White House and the drug deal.
bill doleman
Well, the problem is it's random drug testing.
unidentified
And my position, my career, I'm subjected to random alcohol and drug testing.
art bell
Really?
unidentified
And I was under the impression with the Contract of America.
art bell
Let me understand this.
Don't tell me where you work, but tell me what kind of job you do.
bill doleman
A flight attendant.
art bell
You're a flight attendant.
unidentified
Not a pilot.
Just a person that dispenses peanuts and beverages.
art bell
Yeah, but you've got to be able to walk down the aisle straight, right?
unidentified
True, but, you know, if I were a football player.
No, no, wait a minute.
art bell
I want to understand.
They test you randomly for alcohol.
Now, that only means is the blood alcohol level while you're at work above some limit, right?
unidentified
0.002. 002.
Or 0.02. 0.02?
art bell
Wow.
What would that allow you to do?
In other words, if you were drinking on two off days and then went back to work the next day, could you pass the test or would you fail?
unidentified
You would pass the test.
art bell
Well, okay, then so.
So that's just saying they don't want you drunk at work.
unidentified
Well, true, but also if you did take a swig of some kind of mouthwash with alcohol, that could test positive.
But it's zero tolerance in the airline industry.
If you were tested positive or refused to test, you would be out of a job.
art bell
I'm sorry, I don't have a problem with that.
In the airline industry, it ought to be zero tolerance.
Look, look, wait a minute.
Okay.
Next week, I'm flying at a 747, right?
Let's say that one of my engines goes out, and let's say that we're going to make a crash landing somewhere, or we're going to go down in the sea.
I'd just soon not have you drunk on your butt.
I'd rather have you trying to help me get into the life raft and that sort of thing.
unidentified
It's true, but it's not really a problem, and they've taken the chance of the whole policing of ourselves out of our hands.
art bell
Well, maybe because they found that wasn't working.
unidentified
Well, but the thing is, though, if I'm subjected to random drug and alcohol testing, why isn't the Clinton White House?
None of the staffers were subjected to the FBI screen, which includes a drug screen.
And why does Michael Irvin only get penalized five games for football?
Which is more important, a football player or a flight attendant?
art bell
A flight attendant.
unidentified
Okay, how about a politician?
I would love to see Teddy Kennedy random alternative.
That's an alcoholic test.
art bell
Yeah, that's a closer call.
I appreciate your call.
It's a closer call.
You might suggest that politicians, by law, should be clear-headed when they're making decisions that affect the people of this country.
That might be fair.
But still, compared to a flight attendant or pilot or co-pilot or whatever, there's very little, actually no contest there.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hi.
unidentified
Yeah, it's hard.
art bell
Hello there.
unidentified
Hi.
Hi.
I'm calling about your interview with Dr. Courtney Brown last Friday.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
And somehow it sounded like he said something that made you nervous, which you didn't want on the air, or that he ticked you off in some way.
art bell
Really?
What was that?
unidentified
Well, for one thing, after he mentioned his results on remote viewing regarding the genesis story and Adam and Eve, you continually interrupted him every time he wanted to talk about anything of any substance.
Well, how much of the program did you hear?
I hear it on WODT in New Orleans.
art bell
So how much of the program did you hear?
unidentified
I heard it until 5 o'clock.
art bell
5 o'clock.
All right.
That would be 2 o'clock here.
All right, that answers the question.
And I'm going to tell you right now why I did what I did and what happened after you stopped listening, okay?
Now, stops.
Yeah, I understand that.
Now, when I'm on vacation, they're going to replay the last part of the segment of the Dr. Brown interview, the two hours that you missed.
Okay?
And what I did is, Dr. Brown was wanting to launch into an area regarding our origins and the fact that extraterrestrials are here on Earth, in fact, in New Mexico and beneath the surface of Mars.
And I understood where he was going and with regard to our origins, as you pointed out, with Adam and Eve.
And I knew where he wanted to go because I know about Dr. Brown.
I've read the book.
I knew where he wanted to go.
I didn't want to go there until I had laid down a sufficient foundation for the audience regarding his expertise, his credentials, how he got where he was going.
He was ready to hop out there very early in the program, and I knew that if we did that without first laying down a solid base, that the audience would go, come on, what a bunch of total CRAPola.
So I let him go where he wanted to go.
In fact, I made him go there beginning at 2 o'clock Pacific time.
And then it really got wild.
I intentionally held it off so that we could all understand the basis, scientific basis for remote viewing.
So you missed the cool part.
I'm sorry it happened that way.
Well, but I had to do the interview that way, sir, or it would have come out wrong.
unidentified
Okay, but there's something else in addition to that.
Now, I can understand that.
But usually you repeat the Friday night show on Sunday morning.
art bell
Now I can answer that for you, too.
unidentified
And I called CBC, you're broadcasting that work.
art bell
I'm going to tell you why we didn't.
unidentified
And I'm going to not be playing.
art bell
That's exactly right.
That's exactly right.
Do you know why?
unidentified
No.
art bell
Because it was such a good program that I want to replay it when I go on vacation.
We want a series of knockdown killer shows to be repeated when I go on vacation, which, by the way, begins next Thursday after the show.
So Dr. Courtney Brown's show is going to be repeated when I go on vacation.
I didn't want to repeat it because we're too close to vacation.
I wanted to hold it like a jewel and repeat it when I'm gone.
unidentified
Okay.
Well, I have those thoughts because that's the way to that.
art bell
Well, I just gave you the truth.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
All right.
unidentified
Well, I appreciate it.
I just thought I brought it up because sometimes you get impressions and.
art bell
Well, it was wrong.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
You know, but I understand if you got cut off at 2 a.m. Pacific, I understand that you got the impression that I kept pulling him away from where he wanted to go.
unidentified
Until everybody was asleep.
No?
art bell
No.
unidentified
No.
Or at least until a religious conservatives were asleep.
art bell
No, that wasn't the reason at all.
It was the reason I gave you, and I considered it a superb program, worthy of repeating when I'm gone.
Had I repeated it then, it would have had too much exposure and would not have been nearly so cool as to repeat when I go on vacation.
Do you follow me now?
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
There's a method to my madness, Sarah.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
Have a good morning.
unidentified
All right.
art bell
It will, in fact, be one of the programs that we'll repeat when I go on vacation.
Only the gems will repeat.
unidentified
It's going to be quite a couple of weeks for you, and we'll be right back.
The trip back in time continues with Art Bell hosting Coast to Coast AM.
There's more Somewhere in Time coming up.
You're listening to Art
Bell, Somewhere in Time.
Tonight, featuring Coast to Coast A.M. from the 25th of July, 1996.
art bell
Tonight, open lines.
What are we talking about?
Well, of course, Flight 800, the incredible revelation of the Black, actually, orange boxes with just that little teeny weeny bit of sound that the experts are going to have to decipher and try and decide whether it was a bomb or a missile or some catastrophic, impossible-to-believe instantaneous in-flight failure.
I don't believe that one for a second.
I think it was terrorism, either domestic or foreign.
God help us if it was domestic.
So, what we should all hope for is that it was foreign.
That's all I've got to say on that subject.
Well, no, actually, it isn't.
I've got something for you here.
Computer geeks, that's not, I shouldn't use that phrase, should I?
Because I probably qualify as being well within geekdom.
But, computer people, get a recorder out and get ready to record something that I'm about to play.
Gigantic Challenge Deciphered 00:09:30
art bell
And then we'll see who are the best and the brightest out there at deciphering the indecipherable.
I was going to wait to do this, but I think I'll do it because it's going to be just too much fun.
And while the experts in Washington are trying to decipher this little split second of a noise they've got and to come up with answers, and you know what they're saying, they can do it.
I've decided to provide a gigantic challenge for my audience, the computer people, in trying to decipher something.
And so, get your recorders ready because I don't know, maybe in five minutes, or maybe in half an hour, or maybe here in a little bit, I'm going to do it.
I'm going to give it to you and let you go to work on it, you computer people.
First time caller line, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hello.
richard sauder
Well, good morning, Art.
art bell
Well, good morning, sir.
unidentified
How are you doing?
art bell
I am doing better than you might expect.
Turn your radio off.
That's good.
Turn it off.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
All right, that's good.
You're out of here.
richard sauder
I was just wanting to ask: do you know whether or not they've checked that crop circle up there around Shahalas for radiation?
art bell
No, sir.
I know very little about the Shahala's circle.
It's brand new.
I've got what looks to be a rendition of it by fax, you know, a photograph that was faxed.
And that's a very poor rendition.
So that's all I know about it.
It is there.
It's real.
I can see it.
And that's all I can tell you right now.
richard sauder
Yeah, well, I'm not hooked up to your webpage, so I can't get any of that kind of stuff yet.
art bell
Well, we're going to, in fact, thank you very much for the call.
The two big crop circles that we have already put up on the webpage, A Stonehenge and Double Helix, are going to be published in our newsletter.
And I keep trying to tell everybody all the cool stuff that we come up with that people send us, photographs, and so forth and so on.
We put it in the newsletter.
So you really should subscribe to our newsletter.
It's worth it.
It's full of the cutting-edge kind of stuff that we do on this program.
All right, now, computer people, prepare yourselves because I've decided.
Here it comes.
Here is the first rendition of that which you are challenged, I mean challenged, to try and decipher.
Here it is.
See what you can do with that.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hello.
art bell
Hello there.
Going going on.
First time caller line, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hi, this is Tom from Long Island, New York.
art bell
Hi, Tom from Long Island.
How you doing?
unidentified
I'm doing pretty good.
I have one comment basically about legalizing drugs.
art bell
Yes, sir?
unidentified
It seems to me that what a lot of people are missing is the fact that there'd be a higher amount of murders.
I mean, as a society as we are now, I mean, things are crazy as it is.
Could you imagine if this was legal?
I mean, come on, there'd be people being murdered.
Robbery would be up.
Basically, we're at a state now where things are bad as it is.
art bell
That's my view.
I think the people who are selling drugs would not suddenly turn legal.
I think they'd keep using them.
I think that because of additional addiction, there would be less productivity, more crimes in other categories.
Yeah, sure, there'd be fewer people arrested for being on drugs or using drugs or possessing or selling drugs because there'd be no laws.
But there'd be people committing drugs who are higher than kite, committing crimes who are hired in a kite.
unidentified
Yeah, it's true.
I mean, the simple fact of the matter is that people who are, you know, that drink, how many car accidents or whatever happens, especially people who are saying that they're for legalizing it.
I mean, if their families were killed by someone who was psyched up on drugs or whatever, I mean, they would change their minds.
And I think it's a much bigger issue than just saying, okay, let's legalize it.
Let's just give up on something and do the easy way out.
Sure.
art bell
Which side of Long Island?
Where are you on Long Island?
I live in Quorum.
My mom lives on Long Island as well.
And she said she was out in the yard yesterday, and she said there's aircraft all over the place, just crisscrossing all over it.
You have that too, I take it.
unidentified
Yeah, we do.
art bell
Yeah, it's pretty busy about there.
All right, my friend.
Thank you.
And I do agree.
Dear Art, I took the portrait of you off your website about two weeks ago.
I noticed you were in front of your microphone, and you were wearing a suit.
Do you always wear a suit to work?
Why would you?
The guests and listeners don't see you.
I'd understand you're wearing a t-shirt and jeans, but a suit?
Come on.
That's a bit obsessive about appearance.
Love the show.
That's Nick in Kenosha.
Listening to the lip, W-L-I-P.
Nick, do I wear a suit all the time?
unidentified
Not only no, but hell no.
art bell
I hate wearing suits, but I do it for some occasions, Nick.
And the photograph that you're referring to was taken as a publicity photograph.
It was taken by a newspaper when I did an interview.
You know, so I thought I would try to look neat in appearance, and I put on a suit.
For special occasions, I put on a suit.
But I don't like it.
And am I wearing a suit as I sit here and speak with you now?
No, you've got to be kidding.
No way.
That's punishment.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified
Yes.
Hello.
Hello.
joe in wisconsin
I'm calling from Galveston, Texas.
art bell
Galveston, yes, sir.
joe in wisconsin
I wanted to make a comment about the guy from the Left Coast.
You know, that guy who said that Clinton was just pretty much promoting Clinton.
unidentified
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah.
You know, he's everything.
art bell
Charlie, that's Charlie.
unidentified
Yeah, Charlie.
Well, Clinton is a liar, okay?
That's just the bottom line.
He's a liar.
I mean, you might not want to say it, but I'll say it.
art bell
Oh, I have no problem with that.
He is a politician.
He is the quintessential politician.
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
And to be that, I'm sorry, but I think I've concluded, or did a long time ago, that you must lie.
I don't think you can become President of the United States without lying.
Exactly.
If nothing else, then by omission.
Look at the campaign that's coming up.
They're already lying.
Are they talking about real issues?
Or who's smoked a little bit of pot?
That's what they're talking about.
Who smoked a little bit of pot?
Big deal.
Why not worry about Social Security?
The debt service.
The things that are really gotcha things out there.
Crime, you bet.
The important things.
They're not talking about those.
It's almost like by mutual agreement or something.
So it's all a big lie.
unidentified
I know.
I know.
joe in wisconsin
Did you see that Ron Brown memorial service where Clinton is walking?
art bell
Yes, of course.
Yeah.
The smile to the cry.
unidentified
Yeah.
That's pitiful.
art bell
Well, that's political, sir.
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
Have a good morning.
That's political.
And you wonder why I don't talk about politics that much.
That's why.
That's one of the reasons why.
It's so pathetic, so utterly pathetic, that it's just, it's not even worth it.
Look, maybe I'll yet get excited.
But right now, Bill Clinton is what Bill Clinton is.
Bob Dole is what Bob Dole is.
And they're both politicians.
And they're both willing to compromise their principles to achieve their goals.
And I could go down the list with Bob Dole with regard to gun control and abortion and a lot of other issues that Bob Dole has compromised on that he should not have.
You all know that.
And Bill Clinton is even more in that category.
So I'm just fed up with both of them and the entire process right now.
And I consider it to be a bunch of hot air to sit here and argue back and forth about which of them is the larger of the politicians.
In other words, call us toll-free at 1-800-618-8255.
Cruises and Bifield Brown 00:12:33
art bell
No, You're not allowed to use your last name on the air, sir.
unidentified
Sorry about that.
art bell
That is one actual rule that we have that we really have got to follow.
No last names.
So what is your first name?
unidentified
Greg, and I'm calling from Colchester, Illinois.
Excellent.
art bell
Go right ahead.
Now you're on the air.
unidentified
Art, I've called your show before.
I didn't know that you had any FM affiliates.
art bell
Well, sure.
unidentified
Yeah, I happened to pick you up on a Peoria, Illinois station.
But anyhow, that's not what I called in about.
What was it?
Night before last, I believe it was, you had on something in regards to what things have changed that weren't this way 20 years ago?
art bell
Well, no, everybody gets it a little wrong.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
What I said was, and I'll try and reconstruct the question, what bit of knowledge or wisdom do you wish you had had 20 years ago that you now possess?
unidentified
Well, right now, I guess you could say I'm very well trained in underwater rescue training, which I didn't have 20 years ago.
art bell
And if you'd had 20 years ago, you'd have been 20 years further along in your career.
unidentified
Yes, probably with a different type of position than I've got now.
art bell
I see.
unidentified
But No, I'd evidently taken it wrong because I thought it was, you know, well, you know, what things have changed that were different 20 years ago.
art bell
Nobody gets my question right.
Why is that?
That's very discouraging that nobody gets my question right.
Nobody.
unidentified
Well, you're the immortal anyhow, Art.
art bell
No, I'm not.
I'm so mortal.
I'll be lucky to get back alive from Europe.
unidentified
And I wish you a very safe trip also.
In regards, I didn't catch the first part of it because I just got on to pick up your show about the time that this gentleman was on about legalizing drugs.
I just got the very tail end of it.
But we have such a problem right now with, I mean, people incarcerated in penal institutions, I mean, because of drugs, like your other callers have said and everything.
But I don't know.
You might as well, you know, just tell all your police officers, you know, well, you know, just give them their pension and whatever and say, well, hey, you guys, you know, got a losing battle.
I mean, they haven't got a snowball's chance.
art bell
All right, sir, thank you.
I don't necessarily believe that either.
In other words, drugs could probably be legalized.
That doesn't mean I think all the police ought to walk or that I would give up on enforcing a crime, enforcing law enforcement, trying to stop crime.
I just think there'd be a whole lot more of it.
I wouldn't simply pension everybody out and say we give up.
First-time caller line, you're on the air.
Hi.
Hi.
unidentified
I'm surprised to get through.
art bell
Well, good.
unidentified
I don't want to wake up my wife here.
She's sleeping next to me.
art bell
Oh, what the hell, wake her up.
fred in philadelphia
This is Don in Washington.
art bell
Ah, yes.
unidentified
Yeah.
I was kind of surprised.
fred in philadelphia
I'd never heard anyone mention the Bifield-Brown effect before about your parts.
unidentified
And it seems to me that that would be the obvious.
art bell
Well, I don't know if anything is obvious.
It is a trail to follow.

Well, the Bifield-Brown effect has been known since the 30s.
And, you know, the first tests were done with X-rays, and a lot of the first landing sites of quote-unquote UFOs had radiation at the landing sites, high levels of it.
Which I think that might have something to do with it.
I think that possibly many of these are our own.
art bell
It's entirely possible.
It's entirely possible.
I just don't rule that out at all.
fred in philadelphia
Another thing I was wondering is if it's, you know, like our Germans are better than your Germans syndrome after World War II, where we had, you know, certain, like Von Braun and others, and they had theirs.
Perhaps some of the technology was coming from that section.
And that's why Foreign Technology Division wound up with a lot of it.
Although it could be really foreign, you know, Andromeda or her father.
art bell
Well, it could be.
All of the above are possible, and we'll just keep pressing until we find out.
Either that or we will never find out.
unidentified
One of the two.
fred in philadelphia
Well, the other thing was that Major Dame, is that correct?
art bell
Dames, D-A-M-E-S, Dames.
fred in philadelphia
Yeah, he was saying that it was parts of a time machine.
art bell
Yes.
fred in philadelphia
And even if it is used the Bifield Brown or the torsion for propulsion, it could still be part of a time machine that has the ability to move within space as well as temporally.
art bell
It certainly is possible, sir.
I don't know.
I just know we will continue, thank you, with the testing until we either reach a conclusion, run out of money, or have no more testing that can be done that will make a determination about it one way or the other.
In other words, we press ahead until we find out something.
First time caller line, you're on the air.
Hi.
Hello there.
Yes, sir.
Yes.
unidentified
This is Bob from Colton, Oregon.
art bell
Hello, Bob.
unidentified
And I just wondered if I was listening the other day, and this woman called in about the bomber that went down in Oregon.
art bell
It was a B-24.
unidentified
Yes.
art bell
Liberator.
Not a B-52.
As I said at the time, I didn't think it could possibly be, and it wasn't.
unidentified
You're right.
I was listening, and I never heard if anybody called in and explained it or not.
art bell
Actually, it was a horrible nightmare because she called in right at the end of the show.
Nobody had time to call in and correct what she said.
So I got about 200 pieces of email, about 150 faxes, all of them saying it was a B-24 Liberator art, and it killed me.
unidentified
And you got the information about what the old timers said?
art bell
Oh, yes.
unidentified
About they burned the plane and that they burned it up?
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
Yes, sir.
And it was pretty well pillaged.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hi.
unidentified
Hey, Art.
This is Jake in Columbia, Missouri.
art bell
Hi, Jake.
I'm fine.
unidentified
Great.
I didn't know if you knew this or not, but I was on the Internet and they've got a ...
Let me turn my radio down here.
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
Okay, got it.
They have, I think it's a link to your page, but somebody is offering an audio net, and I got your ⁇ I loved your interview with Courtney Brown.
art bell
Oh, yes.
You mean the archived audio net?
unidentified
Yeah.
Oh, of course.
It's great.
Yes, it is.
You can save the whole thing to your computer.
art bell
Yeah, well, if you want any disk space left, I don't recommend it.
unidentified
Actually, it wasn't really that big.
art bell
Five hours?
unidentified
Yeah, they compressed it or something.
art bell
Oh, I see.
unidentified
But I've ordered his book, and hopefully tomorrow I can pick it up.
That was an unbelievable interview.
art bell
Did you happen to hear the whole thing?
unidentified
Yes, I did.
art bell
Do you understand then what I was telling that caller?
unidentified
Yeah, yes, I do.
Yes, I do.
It was just absolutely amazing.
I wish that he would have explained a little bit more about how he actually did the procedures.
art bell
Well, I tried to go as far into it as I could go.
unidentified
I know.
art bell
And before we really let loose with what he had determined he saw.
And I felt without that base, it just would have all gone wrong.
unidentified
Well, has he done any more projects that he's talked about?
Oh, yes.
art bell
I mean, we're going to have to have Courtney Brown back.
There's no question about it.
unidentified
That is unbelievable.
art bell
So we'll replay that show while I'm gone.
unidentified
Great.
I love your show, Art, and have fun in Europe.
art bell
Oh, thank you.
Well, I certainly hope so.
Cruises are fun.
You know, cruises are kind of neat because you've got your room.
So instead of flying from country to country to country, you've got your room.
And when you dock at a port, you just grab what you want for the day and exit the ship.
And it's like you've got a home at night.
It's a little bit different than flying someplace and packing and unpacking and going to hotels and airports and that sort of thing.
Cruises really are neat, and this one is going to be a particularly neat cruise.
All right, everybody.
Have you got your chape recorders running?
We're going to see how good some of you are at computer deciphering of hard-to-decipher things.
Here we go.
Did you get that?
unidentified
Did you get that?
art bell
We'll be right back.
unidentified
You're listening to Art Bell Somewhere in Time.
Tonight, featuring Coast TO Coast AM, from the 25th of July, 1996, Senior
Networks presents Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
Tonight, featuring Coast to Coast AM from July 25th, 1996.
art bell
West of the Rockies, you are on the air.
Good morning.
unidentified
Good morning.
art bell
How are you?
unidentified
I'm well.
How are you?
art bell
All right.
unidentified
Listen, Art Bell.
Yes.
Oh, this is really an honor to be an occasion to be on the air.
I faxed you something today about Art's parts in relation to superconductor theory that was printed in the August edition of Scientific American.
So I just wanted to let you know there's more coming by snail mail.
art bell
Right, you said that in the facts.
I got your facts.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
And I'm looking forward to what you're sending in the mail.
unidentified
Okay, I'm listening on the air then.
Thank you.
art bell
Okay, thank you.
Yes, we're following this trail to its end wherever it goes and whatever it means.
It is an interesting story to follow and getting more so all the time.
Wildcard line, you're on the air.
Good morning.
unidentified
Good morning.
art bell
How are you?
unidentified
Let me turn the radio again.
art bell
That's good.
Good caller.
unidentified
Okay.
Yes.
Hey, RT from Franklin, Tennessee.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
Harry Brown's home.
art bell
Yes, indeed.
unidentified
And I hope they try to experiment somewhere inside Tennessee as far as legalizing drugs.
Troy's System of Justice 00:09:27
unidentified
I'm a conservative libertarian.
Sounds like military intelligence.
art bell
Well, and so am I in a way.
I mean, there's a lot of libertarian in me, just not quite that much.
But I've got a lot of respect for Harry Brown.
I mean, he's got a lot of good common sense ideas.
At least the guy, you can bring him on the air.
You can pummel him.
Probably a bad word.
I didn't really pummel him.
I just asked some hard questions over five hours and get straight answers back.
And I've got a ton of respect for him for that.
unidentified
Well, if he can give you straight answers, maybe he's not a politician.
I don't.
art bell
That's right.
At one point there, he did go on for a little while, and then he stopped himself.
It was really funny.
And he said, oh, wait a minute, I'm beginning to say, Am I sounding too much like a politician?
unidentified
Well, I had a comment or two, and I'm going to ask you something.
Sure.
And then I'm going to get off there.
You know, you're talking about politicians being able to kind of bend their values.
You can break them.
art bell
Why don't you be kind?
unidentified
Yeah, Ben.
Let me sugarcoat it.
You know, you've got to have values before you can bend them.
And I think that at least Dole has values to bend.
I won't say any more on that.
art bell
Oh, that's well said.
unidentified
I'm going to ask you to dig way back.
Maybe you can help me out with this.
I live in Middle Tennessee and south of Middle Tennessee in North Alabama.
About three years ago, they were finding, I say they, farmers were finding that their cattle had been butchered in the field.
Yeah.
Do you remember this?
art bell
Well.
unidentified
Let me give you more.
Actually, dissected maybe would be partially dissected, would be a better word for it.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
Very little blood spillage, and then there was maybe some white residue like a steptic pencil that you'd use, you know, if you cut yourself and you're shaving.
Check.
And the only other thing that I recall from this, nobody ever came up with an answer, but one farmer said, you know, like two days before they discovered that some of their cattle had been killed, saw a, and this is not a black helicopter story, they saw a shiny dark blue helicopter flying over with men and like they saw, were able to see two men in like a gray uniform.
It doesn't match any kind of military.
art bell
I'm very well familiar with these stories, sir.
unidentified
Nobody knows.
art bell
Okay, stop, stop, stop, stop.
unidentified
I'm through.
art bell
Stop.
Now, let me run this by you.
I've heard this again and again and again, just the way you're describing, or sometimes it will be related to a UFO.
Why in the world would our government, any agency of our government, need anybody else's cattle?
I mean, if our government wanted cattle parts, they could get all they wanted.
I mean, they've got billions.
They could buy cattle and they could cut them up and slice them and dice them and remove sexual organs.
They don't need to sneak out in the middle of the night with black helicopters, get them.
Right.
So.
unidentified
Yeah, I wouldn't.
That was my thought: why would anybody that can afford a helicopter have to do that?
They could buy up their own cows.
art bell
See, there's good common sense.
So either you've got to imagine that it's extraterrestrial in origin, which, of course, wouldn't get government cows.
They'd go out and get farmers' cows out in the middle of the field, wouldn't they?
That's really what they wanted.
So I just never went for the government thing because our government doesn't need black helicopters and guys dressed in black and all that baloney to go out and sneak out in the middle of the night and metal eight cows.
Matter of fact, our government has enough nighttime helicopter accidents using night vision as it is.
Wildcard line, you're on the air.
Hi.
unidentified
Hi, Art.
I won't say what it says.
art bell
I don't know.
No, you're not allowed to.
unidentified
I won't.
I did figure it out.
It took about two mouse clicks and it wasn't too difficult.
art bell
Well, anybody, but you've got to have the computer zoomed to do it.
unidentified
That's right.
art bell
You've got to have the computer power to figure it out.
unidentified
I recorded it directly to the computer and a couple of little ways to let people play with it.
art bell
Don't tell people how to do it.
unidentified
Okay, I won't.
All right.
So we got it figured out.
art bell
Is that cool or what?
unidentified
Yeah, it was pretty neat, actually.
All right.
art bell
Have a good morning, sir.
Thank you.
unidentified
Master there was it, Kevin?
art bell
Okay, Kevin.
unidentified
Okay, thanks.
art bell
Take care.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hello.
Hi, Art.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
Yeah, I was listening to your Dreamland show the other night.
Yes, sir.
And I was wondering, did the man that was supposedly abducted by the aliens, did he ever say, like, anything, like, at the end of the movie?
You know, that last few minutes when he was actually coherent and he was able to...
art bell
What Dreamland program are you talking about, sir?
unidentified
Fire in the Sky.
art bell
Oh, Travis Walton.
unidentified
Yeah, that's him.
art bell
And Mike Rogers.
Now, what was the question again?
unidentified
If that was truth or that was just Hollywood fluff.
art bell
Oh, no, I think it was absolute truth.
Everybody involved took not one but two lie detector tests and passed with flying colors.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
All right.
unidentified
Well, I didn't know if that was, you know, just something that they added to it, you know, to.
art bell
Oh, look, if anything.
Oh, no.
Listen, thank you.
Yes, my interview with Travis Walden and his boss, Mike, if anything, added great amounts of credibility compared to the movie, in my opinion.
I'm not slamming the movie in any way.
I'm just saying that as you compared notes between what they said and what was demonstrated in the movie in terms of credibility, I think that what we had on the air here went far beyond, far, far beyond the movie.
And that show, too, you need to hear again.
That was a very good program.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified
Yes, this is Troy from Minnesota.
art bell
Hello, Troy.
Troy, are you there?
Well, are you there?
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
Troy, turn your radio off.
unidentified
Okay, hold on.
art bell
Sheesh, folks.
Come on.
unidentified
Okay.
Now, I'm talking about the only way that we can get all these criminals off the streets is to bring back capital punishment.
art bell
We have capital punishment now.
unidentified
But these murderers, they should just kill them quickly.
Get them out of there.
art bell
Okay, well, let's see how Troy's system of justice would work.
Troy, the police are bringing in a guy.
He's charged with murder.
Okay?
So what does Troy do?
unidentified
So you're talking about people who are innocent.
art bell
No, I'm just talking about a guy.
The police have arrested him, and he's charged with murder.
unidentified
I'm talking about people who are convicted of murder.
art bell
Convicted of murder.
All right, so you would allow them to have a trial?
unidentified
After the trial, and they're convicted, sentenced.
art bell
No appeals.
unidentified
After every trial?
art bell
Troy, Troy.
unidentified
If they're guilty of murder, they're not going to be able to do that.
art bell
Yes, Troy.
Troy, any appeals?
No appeals.
Hello?
Yes.
That was a question, Troy.
Any appeals or no appeals?
unidentified
I don't know about these appeals.
art bell
Well, you know, when you come on and say they should just be killed, you've got to be a little bit specific, Troy, because we do have a whole system set up.
So I'm just asking, do you want to eliminate all the appeals?
Or, you know, and just, I mean, take them off to the execution point when the jury comes back and says guilty.
unidentified
Yeah, they're done.
They should be done.
They're done.
art bell
All right.
All right, Troy.
Well, let's see what other people think of that.
unidentified
Immediate justice.
art bell
What do you all think of that idea?
unidentified
Is that a good idea?
Immediate justice.
art bell
You know, I would like to see some statistics on how many people are reversed in capital cases on appeal.
And I don't mean necessarily on technicalities, but I mean on new proof of some sort or another that is brought forth that renders them innocent.
I think there's been a fair rash of that with the new genetic testing, hasn't there?
Okay, here we go.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hello.
Yes, Art, Steve from South Dakota.
art bell
Hi, Steve.
How are you doing?
All right.
john b wells
Say, I'm really looking forward to your show tomorrow night.
Stan Dale's Video 00:02:15
john b wells
Oh, so am I. He's my favorite guest.
art bell
Oh.
john b wells
Say, I received a video in the mail that I have had on order for some time.
unidentified
It's on the science of Nikola Tesla.
Oh, yes.
john b wells
And it's being hosted and narrated by Stan Dale.
And I just wanted to know if that was the same Stan as you had on last night.
unidentified
His last name is spelled D-E-Y-O.
art bell
That's the way Stan spells it.
What is the name of the video?
unidentified
It's called The Eye of the Storm.
art bell
You know, I'm not sure if that's the same Stan Dale.
unidentified
Well, he lives in Australia.
art bell
Well, then it's got to be.
It's got to be, then.
unidentified
That's amazing.
It's really a good video.
It's on the science of Nikola Tesla.
john b wells
And it's got some stuff on the Philadelphia experiment and anti-gravity and Tesla-free energy.
art bell
Yes, well, that sounds exactly like the kind of thing that's right down Stan's alley.
john b wells
Oh, that's really amazing.
And, you know, lastly here, not to make light of this terrorist profile that you were talking about a little bit earlier.
art bell
Yeah, but I was really serious about it.
They're going to start stopping more people with a, quote, terrorist profile, end quote.
What does that mean?
unidentified
Well, I think I know what one looks like.
john b wells
It's on page 11 of your newsletter.
art bell
Page 11 of my newsletter.
I don't have a current copy here.
What is that a photograph of?
tim in denver
The chupacabra.
art bell
Chupacabra.
Well, that's terrorism, all right.
There's no question about that.
Thank you.
And anybody who looks like that should be stopped in any airport and would be.
No problem.
But I really am serious about the terrorist profile.
They're never going to tell us.
I'm sure it's written up and they know what it is, but I don't, and I'm curious about it.
What does a terrorist look like?
Why Tap Water Is Safe 00:02:25
art bell
Is it a disheveled person?
Is it a person traveling alone?
Is it a person who's sweaty and clutching a briefcase?
I mean, what is a terrorist profile?
What kind of water do you drink?
Well, if you drink tap water, then you're getting aqua terrorism.
You're getting things like lead, parasites, chlorine, and those parasites, ooh, little tiny microscopic chupacabras.
Awful.
There is a way to avoid it, a good way, and bottled water is not, well, you've heard stories we all have about bottled water.
It sits, and that's not good.
Water sitting is not good under any conditions, even good conditions.
But the water pure countertop system will filter your tap water, take all that stuff out at 99%.
It takes one minute to install.
One minute.
It's guaranteed 100%.
And when you get it installed, you draw some tap water in one glass and you draw a glass of water from the countertop system in the other and hold both up to the light and you'll be sold.
That'll be it.
Water Pure is on sale right now.
The big summer spectacular gets you $40 off the regular price, which means you pay $119.95 for a quality water filtration system.
Now, with it, with it, folks, you get a $30 value travel filter absolutely free.
Absolutely free.
And if you call before noontime, you get free shipping and handling a $7 value.
The number to call before noontime is 1-800-313-PURE.
That's 1-800-313-P-U-R-E Pure.
All right, let me see.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hi.
I absolutely can't believe it.
It's been so long I've been pushing this button to dial this phone.
art bell
Well, I'm glad you got through.
First Caller From Richmond 00:05:05
unidentified
Where are you?
kathleen keating
I am Josie, and I am from Richmond, Virginia.
I might be not only your first caller on the air from, well, I might be the first caller on the air from Virginia anyway.
art bell
This morning.
kathleen keating
Well, I haven't heard of anyone calling from Richmond.
art bell
Well, I'll tell you what.
The first night that Richmond went on the air with us, we opened the call, the lines for Virginia, and that's all we've got.
That's all we got that night.
You see, you've got to understand we've got approaching 280 radio stations.
unidentified
I think it's great.
kathleen keating
I'm telling everybody about this because it's not advertised.
Also, we go off the air at 4.30, although I managed to get it from a Cleveland station until 5.
But I would like to know the numbers on the dial that the Richmond ⁇ I mean the Washington station would be so that I could maybe try that and see if I could pick it up.
art bell
Well, I'm not allowed to give that away yet.
unidentified
Not the numbers on the dial.
art bell
No, I'm not allowed to give that away until Monday.
unidentified
Oh, okay.
art bell
But Monday I can give that away.
kathleen keating
In any case, I had some ideas that might help out in these various issues that you've been discussing and the other people have been discussing.
And one of them is about the drug thing.
And that has to do with the Harry Brown.
I wouldn't vote for him because I would not want to privatize parks and end up with wall-to-wall shopping malls from one end of the country to the other.
art bell
Well, his argument was fairly reasonable.
I said the same thing.
And he said, but why would they do that when the attraction of the area is its beauty and you might be able to charge to get in or something and they would maintain it for profit's sake?
kathleen keating
If it was for profit, it would eventually be sold to somebody who wanted to develop it for mining and whatever else.
unidentified
I'm a little thinking.
art bell
I'm a little concerned about that myself.
unidentified
Yeah.
kathleen keating
What I wanted to propose on the drug thing is that we not just legalize drugs right outright, but we do study what they're doing in Germany and elsewhere where it's been successful.
art bell
Can I stop you for a second?
Before we get to drugs, let's stay with what Harry was talking about.
At least you've got to give the guy credit for one thing.
I asked him about the coming financial disaster, and he gave an answer.
Try asking Clinton or Dole about that, and you will get anything but a real answer.
They'll talk about deficit reduction and so forth and so on.
If you do the math, it's all going to come tumbling down in just a very few years.
unidentified
I agree with that.
art bell
There's two major candidates won't even talk about it.
kathleen keating
Yes, but we haven't had a legislature and a president of the same party to get rid of this 40 years of liberalism.
And until we do or have a veto-proof Congress, we're not going to make as much headway as we'd like on that balancing.
art bell
Yeah, I don't disagree with you.
kathleen keating
So I would say generally that people really ought to be out there voting for wisdom, a dole, and maybe even Elizabeth Dole might be the vice president.
unidentified
Who knows?
kathleen keating
But certainly she's capable of it and qualified.
regina in pennsylvania
And Bill Buckley, I was just reading you.
art bell
Well, it's not going to happen.
Let me tell you why.
All right.
Do you remember back when Bill Clinton said you're going to get two for the price of one?
unidentified
Right.
art bell
And the country absolutely went berserk.
unidentified
But she wasn't elected.
kathleen keating
Now, if Elizabeth is nominated as a qualified person to be a vice president, that's different.
art bell
That's going to be elected.
I know, but the same thing would be tossed in their face.
unidentified
Well, okay.
kathleen keating
So let's say he appoints Christy Whitman or somebody.
unidentified
But in any case, he does have wisdom.
He would be wonderful.
He's not slick.
kathleen keating
He's not out there in front of cameras and doing all that, but he would do the work.
unidentified
That's the point.
art bell
I don't disagree with you.
kathleen keating
And he would be the good in the foreign policy issues and the things where presidents are needed, appointing the right kind of people in the Justice Department and so on.
art bell
Again, I surely don't disagree with you.
kathleen keating
So if we vote for Harry Browns, we're going to just essentially be voting for Bill Clinton.
unidentified
That's who's going to end up getting in.
kathleen keating
And I think Dolphins vote we can get because the liberal media does what they do.
But my idea on drugs is this, that we have centers in our cities and towns where the addicts can go and get their drugs of choice, but it must be consumed on the premises.
The centers should be staffed by psychologically trained people.
art bell
I'm going to tell you why that wouldn't work.
Okay?
Most of the drug users in this country, the majority of them, are the casual folks.
Book Signing Moment 00:06:14
art bell
You know, the guy in the suit who's got a job during the week and does a bunch of weekend binging and maybe some binging even during the week when he's at work, right?
Cocaine, sniffing?
kathleen keating
I don't know if it isn't inner city that's most of the time.
art bell
No, a lot of it's casual cocaine party.
unidentified
There is some of that.
All right.
art bell
Well, the people with good jobs aren't going to go for it.
But they're also not going to give up their habit.
unidentified
Do you think they won't give it up?
art bell
No, they wouldn't give it up, and they're not going to go down to the middle of the town and identify themselves as a drug user because there goes their career and more.
So that is going to sustain a black market.
And if the goal of legalization of drugs is to eliminate the black market, unless you go all the way with it, you're not going to do it.
kathleen keating
I think with heroin and all that, those hard drugs, though, I think the addicts are addicts.
unidentified
They know they are addicts.
They'll go down and they'll get it.
It'll be so cheap because it'll put the dealers off the street.
art bell
I know.
The dealers are going to be there dealing to Joe businessman.
Listen, I've got to run.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
Thank you very much for the call and think that one over.
unidentified

art bell
Gosh, I love talk radio.
Good morning, everybody.
It's good to be back, and we'll be here one more hour.
We get one more hour with you this morning.
If you're hearing this now, first time caller line, you're on the air.
Hi.
unidentified
Art?
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
This is Kenda from Portland.
art bell
How you doing?
unidentified
I'm catching you on Como tonight for some reason, though.
Instead.
art bell
K-O-M-O.
unidentified
Uh-huh.
Yes.
Well, I have to tell you, you're awesome.
You're getting entirely too big for your britches.
I've been listening to you for a year, and my only goal in life now is to get a computer so I can do your webpage thing.
I was at your book signing in Portland.
art bell
Oh, you were?
unidentified
I have the book, and it's like this bellite thing.
art bell
Tell me, why are you not managing to hear us on KEX in Portland?
unidentified
My radio just doesn't get it very well.
art bell
Wow.
I mean, KEX ought to come in on tooth fillings in Portland.
unidentified
The mighty 1190.
art bell
Yeah, I mean, it's so so strong.
unidentified
I know, but for some re I guess maybe it's my apartment or something.
I don't know.
It just came out.
But for some reason tonight, Como is just coming and clear as the belly.
art bell
Well, you need to clear his belt.
Cute.
You need one of these good radios.
unidentified
You're absolutely right.
I'm a single parent.
I work and live paycheck to paycheck.
And, you know, that's just like not in my budget.
art bell
Let me tell you something.
Even though I'm not right now, I lived all my life paycheck to paycheck, so I know all about that.
Sometimes I never, I really didn't make it paycheck to paycheck.
I mean, the next paycheck did not cover the debts from the last one.
unidentified
That happens, yeah.
Yeah.
Well, that's okay, but, you know, I also want to tell you that I would like to strangle that woman the other night.
That was quite rude to you and didn't have a clue and proceeded to tell you what you thought.
And I thought that was like way out of line, and I would have slapped her if I could have found her.
art bell
I like the word strangulation.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, that's what comes to mind.
I thought, how dare she talk to him like that?
art bell
Well, she dared.
And as a matter of fact, I have a feeling she'll be back.
She's not done with me.
unidentified
But we can hate her together.
art bell
There you go.
She came.
unidentified
I've been four nights a week with you usually.
I work graveyards.
Oh, you do?
So I do.
art bell
Makes the hours go faster, doesn't it?
unidentified
Oh, absolutely.
Of course, people think I'm a little strange, you know, because, well, Art Bell said this and Art Bell said that.
And it's like, they look at me like I'm rather strange.
But I don't look any stranger than any of the other people at your book signing, and I was very happy to shake your hand.
art bell
There was, you know what amazed me most about the book signing?
unidentified
What?
art bell
There was, if you remember, there was every kind of person in the whole world there.
I mean, from little babies.
unidentified
But come on, they had that Art Bell up all-night look.
Well, a lot of them stood in line for five or six hours.
The camaraderie was just including it.
art bell
I know it was.
It really was.
It was amazing.
unidentified
I mean, it was like I was best friends with the people I was in line with.
Yep.
And we were there, you know, for six hours.
art bell
It was happening.
unidentified
It was.
I was beginning to feel like it was some kind of cult.
art bell
And if I, cult?
unidentified
Jeez, please.
Oh, yeah, you're just getting way too bad.
art bell
That's great.
Now they're going to say I'm in a compound, and you know what comes next.
unidentified
Oh, not for me.
Thank you.
I'm not going to drink any tea.
Art Bell tea.
art bell
Art Bell tea, that's right.
unidentified
That would probably be squat tea, huh?
art bell
Well, that's why, you know, I decided somebody wrote me a note and said exactly that and said that don't drink any of the water I brought.
So I didn't bring any of my water for taste testing.
unidentified
We know why you want us to buy that water filter system.
art bell
Well, I don't want to demean Portland's water supply in any way.
Tooth-Filling Signal 00:10:06
unidentified
Oh, no, not at all.
But, you know, we know that there's something in that filter that makes everybody, you know, stay with the art bell and buy everything you need.
art bell
I wasn't going to say that part.
All right, look, I've got to go.
unidentified
Okay, nice second to you.
art bell
Take care, Portland.
I mean, KEX at $11.90.
Come on, folks.
50,000 watts.
50,000 watts.
Now, Como's 50 from Seattle, and I'm sure they pour right over Portland like a great blanket.
But KEX, I mean, we're talking tooth-filling stuff here.
You could pick it up on a tooth filling.
First time callers, area 702-727-1222.
unidentified
No, no, no, no.
art bell
Oh, you made me hit the button, sir.
Don't make me hit the button.
Let's do it all over again.
Your name, please?
unidentified
This is Brent from Kansas City, Missouri.
art bell
That's the way to do it, Brent.
unidentified
And I'd like to address the 800 Downing.
All right.
There's a fact that some of us that were in the military knew, and that is that there's a commercial way of getting shoulder-launched weapons here in the United States that are intended not to fire, but they can be made to fire if you have the knowledge to do so.
art bell
How do you get them?
unidentified
You can get them through just about any surplus there is.
art bell
I find that very difficult to believe.
I mean, you might get the tube part, the firing part.
unidentified
You can buy the tubes, and you can also buy the rockets that you can get.
art bell
Now, now, that's what I don't believe.
I don't think you can buy the rocket surplus at all.
unidentified
Oh, you can buy many types of rockets surplus.
art bell
Well, I've been in a lot of surplus stores, sir, and I've never seen an active ground-air rocket for sale in my life.
unidentified
They will not be active when you buy them, but you can make them to be active.
art bell
Well, I mean, there's a lot of things that you can virtually manufacture, and that's almost what you're doing.
unidentified
You know, it's one of these things.
I don't believe that it has to be exterior terrorism, but that it could be domestic.
art bell
It could be homegrown.
Yes, sir.
Thank you.
Look, I've said the same thing.
If I had to assign a probability, I'm going to be optimistic and say 70-30.
70% foreign, 30% possibility of domestic.
And I may be being optimistic.
When I say optimistic, I want it to be foreign.
And I said this with regard to the Oklahoma tragedy, the Murray building.
God help us if it's domestic.
And sure enough, God help us.
And if this TWA airliner was knocked down or bombed out of the sky by somebody in this country because of some sort of domestic dispute, God help us.
unidentified
I really mean that.
art bell
I hope that's not true.
Wildcard line, you're on the air.
Top Odie morning.
unidentified
Hi, Art.
Hello.
Hi.
Oh, there's a farmer.
art bell
I'm sorry?
john in unknown
There's a farmer who lives in southern Utah.
art bell
A farmer in southern Utah.
john in unknown
He makes a cute little thing that says, complaint department, pull a pen.
unidentified
I'll take a number.
Yeah.
john in unknown
That's got a little surplus hand grenade.
I don't believe you can get the electronics and all that in a missile.
art bell
No, I don't think so either, sir.
That's exactly right.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello.
unidentified
Hello.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
Yes, it's James from Saskatchewan.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
Just calling to just relay my condolences to the families of the victims of Flight 800.
And it's something that people in Canada don't realize.
You know, every time something goes wrong in the world, we call the United States to come to come to the rescue, but it seems like every little militant group or whatever wants to beat them up.
You know what?
I don't know.
I'm just trying to put it into words where.
art bell
Well, pretty much what I think is true.
I've said before is that no good deed goes unpunished.
unidentified
I hope you're right, Art.
art bell
Well, no, you didn't quite catch it.
When the U.S. does something good in a foreign country, like when we go, for example, marching into Bosnia and we try to hold these people apart from killing each other and committing genocide, we're ostensibly doing a good thing.
But there's a possibility that one side or the other just took down one of our airliners because we're there.
And when we leave, there is every probability that war will resume.
And that's what I mean by no good deed goes unpunished.
We do good things around the world and we're hated for it.
unidentified
Yeah, well, we live close to the U.S. border here.
We have no problems.
You know, like the people, I don't know.
I don't know where it comes from, but there's a lot of hatred there.
And like I say, we're grateful to be your neighbors, put it that way.
art bell
Well, we're grateful to have you too there.
unidentified
And I've been listening to you for about a year and just thought I'd call.
I work a lot of graveyard shifts and stuff like that.
art bell
And I don't know.
unidentified
It's kind of nice to have you on the air there through the night.
art bell
I'm glad you're there, too.
Thank you, sir.
unidentified
You better.
art bell
Bye-bye.
Saskatchewan.
That'd be a good place to go visit Saskatchewan.
Yeah, I'm a little rung out over the 800 business for a lot of reasons.
But the biggest one is, I mean, now that it's occurred, you know, beyond the obvious tragic aspect of the whole thing.
Let it not be one of our own.
It's going to take a long time.
Without anybody claiming credit, it's going to take a long time to figure this one out.
Probably not going to take a long time to figure out that it was bomb or missile.
But it's going to take a long time to figure out who did it.
And I guess we've come to the point where whoever it was who did it did it to spread terror generally.
And it's making us do some very, make some hard choices.
I mean, you know, nobody likes more security.
I mean, America used to be a place where you could walk around, you'd get on an airplane, you'd figure that other people weren't out to kill you.
I guess those days are gone.
Wonder what it's going to be like when our children grow up.
Is there going to be a cop on every corner?
Are you going to have to go through various detectors that will see you naked as you go into department stores because people have been blowing those up?
I mean, where is it headed, you know?
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hi.
Hi, Art.
This is Kurt from Bedford, Oregon.
art bell
Hello, Kurt.
unidentified
How are you doing tonight?
art bell
Fine.
unidentified
Oh, good.
I wanted to ask you, you mentioned a few days ago that you had two pictures of the chupacabra.
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
And one of them looked slightly phony to you.
Yes.
I was wondering which one that was.
I saw the one that was in your newsletter, or not in the newsletter.
art bell
The one in the newsletter is the one that I consider to be possibly.
I don't say it's authentic, but I think it is more possible than the other.
unidentified
Now, the other one, that wasn't the picture, the one you said looked phony.
That wasn't the one taken somewhere in Sonora, Mexico by chance, was it?
I don't know.
art bell
I don't know where it was taken.
I mean, it was sent to me anonymously, so I as is so much of this stuff, so I have no way of knowing.
unidentified
I have one in a Mexican publication that shows a dead chupacabra, or, you know, what appears to be a dead chupacabra, that was supposedly found dead in Sonora, Mexico, and it's off.
It's a really scary-looking thing.
art bell
Does it look well?
unidentified
The feet on it looked almost like clawed bird feet.
art bell
Yeah, I think that what you're seeing, I think I know the photo you're referring to, and I believe that's the animal it killed, not a photo of a chupacabra.
unidentified
No, it's the head of a chupacabra on the front of the article, and it says chupacabra found dead somewhere in Sonora, Mexico.
art bell
Well, I would enjoy seeing that photograph if you want to pass it along.
unidentified
Oh, sure, I could do that.
Sure.
I'll get it on to you.
art bell
All right.
unidentified
Okay, Art.
art bell
By all means, thank you.
And, you know, scanning, trying to scan from newspapers is really a bummer.
I don't know if you've ever tried to do that, but it's really hard.
So if it turns out to be anything, I will attempt to, well, I'll tell you, contacting a newspaper in Sonora is going to be rough, but I will give it a shot.
I will give it a shot, and we'll see if we can get the original photograph and get that scanned.
And even though that would be a big old pain in the neck, then you would have a good rendition.
We will be right back.
Why He Might Win Next 00:05:07
art bell
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified
Oh.
art bell
Turn your radio off, please.
unidentified
Yeah, I've got it.
art bell
There you go.
unidentified
Finally got through to you, for heaven's sakes.
art bell
So it would seem, for heaven's sakes.
Where are you?
unidentified
In Ornsboro.
art bell
Ornsboro, Kentucky.
You know who said that a lot, for heaven's sakes?
unidentified
No.
art bell
Susie Wong, for heaven's sakes.
unidentified
For heaven's sakes.
Well, I called to talk about the Washington Dog and Pony Show.
art bell
Maybe it was for goodness sakes.
The Washington Dog and Pony Show.
What fun.
All right, let's hear it.
unidentified
Do you think it really makes much difference who gets elected, either party anymore?
art bell
Not a great deal.
unidentified
Well, I really don't.
art bell
Now, wait, let me rephrase that.
At the presidential level, with the two candidates, Maine One's way of running, not a great deal.
unidentified
No, I don't think so either.
It should have been a clue to everybody in the country when Mary Magdalen married James Carville after the last election that somebody was getting whatever.
art bell
You're absolutely right.
And, you know, if I see them together one more time saying, but oh dear, oh dear, I'm going to throw up.
unidentified
I can't stand the clenched teeth talking anyway.
art bell
I mean, it's like the political act from hell.
They're constantly guests on Meet the Press.
And it's just, it's ugly to watch.
unidentified
The whole business is sick to me.
They get married.
Rush Wembaugh is in attendance.
They're married by clients, Thomas.
Half of the right wing, half of the left wing is at the wedding.
And probably the chief topic at the wedding was probably how they're all making fools out of the country.
art bell
Well, I don't know about that, but I know that in recent years, sir, I used to be incredibly political.
My show used to be all political.
Right.
But that was back when there was a distinct fight, when there was a distinct difference, when there were distinct issues being argued.
If it ever got back to that, I might get interested again.
But right now, I really do agree with you.
There are other things in life to talk about, and I'd just soon talk about them because it's like chasing around in a circle.
You're never going to get anywhere.
It's just a bunch bashing back and forth, meaningless, without forward progress toward solving any real issues.
It's ridiculous.
unidentified
I can't stand it.
The solutions to all of the problems are exactly the same with slightly different words.
They've got people fighting over abortion, This, that, or the other.
Yep, you're on to it.
Nobody cares about NAFTA and the big things.
Yep.
Or they do care.
It's just that we're not going to discuss them, not really.
art bell
You're exactly right.
I'm sorry, but there's nothing else to say.
unidentified
Do you think Perot offers an alternative?
art bell
I think that Perot had his opportunity.
I voted for Perot.
So did I. Not because I thought, well, actually, I did think in the beginning that he would win, that he had a chance.
And that's the main reason.
And I thought he would go to Washington and probably drive them out of their collective minds.
And they would probably end up ejecting him like a bad dream at some point.
But he would have done some real change before they got rid of him.
And so I but he screwed it up.
I mean, if he had not dropped out and if there hadn't been the business about his daughter's wedding and all the rest of it, he'd have won that election.
unidentified
Yeah, I think so, too.
I think he has a chance to win the next one.
art bell
I don't.
unidentified
You really don't?
art bell
No.
No, no, no.
I think if Perot runs again, if he becomes a candidate, if he wants the candidacy of the Reform Party, he's going to get it.
But he's sure as hell not going to get 19%.
unidentified
He may.
art bell
Want to bet?
unidentified
Well, no, I'm not that certain, but it would be not.
You know, if the guy got up there, you know, everybody says if he gets there, then he's got most support.
Nothing will get done.
As far as I'm concerned, if he sat there and vetoed every bill and nothing got done for four years, it'd be an improvement.
art bell
I would be willing to bet you he won't clear single digits.
I'm sorry, but I believe that.
I appreciate your call, sir.
Thank you.
I wish I could say I believed otherwise.
But because of his behavior, self-inflicted injury, I don't think he'll clear single digits if he is the nominee.
And West of the Rockies, you are upon the air.
Good morning.
unidentified
Is that Art?
art bell
Well, yes, it is.
unidentified
Art!
This is John calling from Wake.
art bell
Waikiki.
What are you right down on the beach?
unidentified
Art, yes, I am.
I'm right on the beach, and I gotta tell you, I've been listening to you for two years now, and I love your show.
Art Bell's Beach Stories 00:03:57
art bell
Well, thank you.
unidentified
And I love you, and I love everything about you.
Art, I just wanted to call to say that.
I understand your wife is from River Beach.
art bell
I have a beach, it's correct.
unidentified
That's right.
That's where I was born and raised.
art bell
And she tells me that when I go home with her, I will have to meet hundreds of people.
She has, she says, hundreds of relatives.
unidentified
Is she a plantation girl?
art bell
A plantation girl.
Yeah, I guess so.
Well, yeah, I guess so.
unidentified
Well, I'll be darned.
That's all the kids I was brought up with.
I've probably met her.
I don't even know.
art bell
You might have.
unidentified
I got to tell you, I worked a midnight shift over at the City Morgue, and I listen to you every night, and I don't know what I do without you, Art.
art bell
I guess you wouldn't want to say we liven the place up.
unidentified
Art, thank you.
I love you.
art bell
Well, thank you, and I love you, too.
unidentified
Hello, Harbrada.
art bell
Liven the place up.
Imagine working in a morgue.
I don't know.
Notice how I just picked this at the right time.
It's my morgue music of the moments.
unidentified
This is Premier Networks.
That was Art Bell hosting Coast to Coast AM on this Somewhere in Time.
You're listening to Art Bell, Somewhere in Time.
Tonight, featuring Coast to Coast AM from the 25th of July, 1996.
Ah, good morning.
Don't you love this?
art bell
I always did.
Kim Carnes.
She actually got to do this for Betty Davis before she passed off.
unidentified
Tumbling on you.
Roar you like you were dice.
art bell
That's one husky voice.
unidentified
She's got better days.
Good to be with you.
art bell
And by the way, my incredible webmaster, Keith Rowland, has already put the secret message on the web page as a WAV file so computer enthusiasts can download it and play with it until you get it.
But nobody, nobody reveal it to anybody else until tomorrow night in the first hour of the Richard Hoagland extravaganza.
East of the Rockies, you are on the air.
Good morning.
unidentified
Good morning, Art.
Yes.
How are you doing?
art bell
I'm very well.
Thank you.
unidentified
I was just wondering if you could give us an update on how your cats are doing.
art bell
My cat, well, my two cats, my big 17-pounder, he's great but grumpy.
He's like a grumpy old man.
My little girl is the sweetest cat in the whole world.
She hugs you.
I mean, she reaches up, puts her claws around your neck, and hugs you and licks your ear.
And my wild thing is now, well, I'll tell you, when we have dinner now, he will come right up to our feet and allow us to toss him little bits of food.
Secrets And Pets 00:07:48
art bell
He will let me pet him.
I can touch his belly.
I can touch his head and his ears.
He will not yet let me pick him up.
He will not yet come onto my lap.
But that's coming.
unidentified
Oh, good.
art bell
So, in other words, we're probably about 70% tame from completely, I'm going to kill you because I'm wild and I don't like humans stage.
unidentified
Well, and also, I was wondering if you could kind of give us the rundown on what Richard Hoagland's going to talk about tomorrow night.
art bell
Absolutely not.
unidentified
You can't.
art bell
Like my secret message, until tomorrow night, it remains secret.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
See, that's what makes you listen, right?
unidentified
Yeah.
Yeah.
I'll tune in tomorrow night.
art bell
You'd listen anyway.
unidentified
Yeah, I do.
art bell
All right, see.
unidentified
Thanks.
Pardon me.
About the death penalty?
Yes.
It just doesn't seem right.
To force people to make a decision about, you know, two wrongs just do not make it right.
It just is unfathomable to me that we can, you know.
art bell
Oh, you're against the death penalty.
unidentified
Yes, definitely.
art bell
But it's not two wrongs.
You tell me, you tell me what, if a life is taken, then what is justice?
I mean, we have justice for various crimes, whether you go in and rob somebody and take their money, go into their house, take their possessions, steal their car, various crimes.
But if the crime is taking a life, something irreplaceable, then what does justice demand in return for that?
unidentified
Well, what about, you know, reconstitution, giving back to the victim, giving back to the people.
art bell
You can't give back to somebody who's dead.
unidentified
But to the family.
art bell
Yeah, but that's a family.
They're still alive.
The justice is required for the taking of life with malice and forethought.
unidentified
So you're for it?
art bell
Yes, I am.
unidentified
Definitely.
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
And what about the different degrees that's why we have different degrees?
art bell
If you take lives.
Then it's called manslaughter.
And we don't levy the death penalty for manslaughter.
Only for first-degree murder.
Premeditated, planned murder.
unidentified
Uh-huh.
Okay.
Okay.
art bell
Thanks very much for the call, and take care and think that over.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hi.
unidentified
Good morning, Mr. Bell.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
Indeed, this is an honor.
art bell
I'm glad to have you.
unidentified
Oh, believe me, the pleasure's on this end.
This is Chuck from Scottsdale, Arizona.
art bell
Yes, sir.
dr richard berendzen
I work nights, and you have been a real godsend.
A fellow that I work with turned me on to you about four or five months ago.
unidentified
What makes you think he sent me?
I'm sorry.
Nothing.
Art, I'm nervous on beyond belief.
art bell
Me too.
dr richard berendzen
I got a real quick one for you, being a cat lover.
unidentified
Okay.
dr richard berendzen
Seems that Mr. Clinton walks into the White House Oval Office with a cat under each arm.
unidentified
Al Gore says, What's the story?
And he said, I got these for Hillary.
dr richard berendzen
Al Gore smiles and says, Hmm, seems like he made a good swap to me.
art bell
That's terrible, sir.
unidentified
Well, what can I tell you?
Art, I enjoy your program.
dr richard berendzen
I've been a big fan of archaeology and the unknown for years and years.
I will continue to listen to your show.
Keep up to good work and Godspeed on your trip.
art bell
Thank you, my friend.
Take care.
What we try to do is ask the questions and deal with the things that I guess everybody wants to deal with.
So there you are.
Dear Art, I would like to hear your opinion on Prime Star versus Dish.
Well, I've seen them all.
I like Dish.
Period.
I mean, to me, it's a walkaway, easy choice.
Again, Crane handles those.
We haven't really begun.
What we're doing, well, I don't even want to talk about it a lot, but if you want to ask Crane about Dish, ask him.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hi.
Arto, this is Sean in Albuquerque.
Hi, Sean.
I got a couple of questions for you.
art bell
All right.
unidentified
The first question would be, I have your newsletter, and all my friends seem to steal that newsletter away from me.
art bell
Yeah, they get passed around a lot.
unidentified
Oh, yeah, really quick.
Whenever the subscription is close to being up, do I get a little card in the mail that says anything that it's time to get a new subscription?
art bell
You know what?
I don't know.
I would certainly believe that would be the case.
I mean, they'd be crazy not to, but I don't know for a fact that they do, so I don't have a ready answer for you.
unidentified
I guess my second question would be, um do you all offer a T-shirt, an R-Belt T-shirt, Dreamland T-shirt?
art bell
You know, we really haven't gone into that yet.
We're going to do that one of these days.
But our network is grown to the network itself is like up around 400 stations, and you have no idea how much of a management effort that requires, says he who doesn't really do any of it.
In other words, they're really, really, really busy people up there, and we will get around to that.
unidentified
Okay, well, hey, I enjoy your show, and thank you for being on for me.
You've caused me severe insomnia by now, but.
art bell
All right, thank you.
I'll tell you what we have done.
This is a secret.
For those of you that are going to Russia and Scandinavia with me, I shouldn't say this because it should be a surprise, but we've made up a special six-color memorial t-shirt for the 96 tour of Russia and Scandinavia.
unidentified
It is beautiful.
art bell
Absolutely beautiful.
And I could describe it, but that part I will keep secret.
How's that?
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hello.
Oh, Art?
Yes.
This is Marcia in Tennessee.
art bell
Marcia, Marsha in Tennessee.
unidentified
Yeah.
Okay.
I'm going to be going to Lexington tonight to visit my first grandchild.
And I need to know where I can pick you up so I don't miss a husband show.
art bell
In Lexington, Kentucky?
unidentified
Uh-huh.
art bell
I'm looking here.
Hold on.
Lexington, Kentucky.
Let's see if we have something.
I'm sure we do.
Lexington.
How about WLXG?
1,300 on the dial, right there in Lexington.
unidentified
Okay.
Thanks a lot.
art bell
All right.
You're welcome.
Take care.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hello.
Hey, listening on KSFO out in San Francisco, Steve.
Republican Convention Controversy 00:09:53
unidentified
Hi, Steve.
I missed the Harry Brown interview.
Is that going to be repeated while you're on vacation?
Yes.
Ooh, good.
art bell
And do you know when we're going to do it?
unidentified
When?
art bell
Right in the middle of the Republican convention.
unidentified
Oh, wonderful.
art bell
Is that timing or what?
unidentified
Well, I looked at the Dublicans and the Remicats, and I see really no difference.
art bell
I know.
unidentified
The Republican Party had two years to show me something, and they have failed miserably.
art bell
Let me be clear about this.
There is a difference in philosophy between conservative and liberal.
But between the parties and their top candidates right now, you'd be lucky to slip a piece of paper in between the two, you know?
unidentified
Well, anybody who tries to squeeze between Bill Quinton and Bob Dill is going to get mashed.
art bell
Well said, sir.
unidentified
And I do intend to vote for Harry Brown.
I believe that if you don't vote your conscience, you are throwing your vote away.
art bell
You know what?
In the last election, when Ross Perot was running, I went through that.
I agonized.
I mean, I actually lost sleep over it.
I got sick, physically sick, trying to figure out what to do.
In the end, I did exactly what I wanted to do, which was to vote my conscience, and I voted for Ross Perot.
And I would do it again.
Under the given the same conditions as there were then, I would do the same thing again proudly, and I'm so glad I did it.
unidentified
It could be interesting if Dick Lamb actually gets the nomination from that party.
art bell
It's not going to happen.
unidentified
It's not going to happen, though, but if Ross Perot wants it, he's got it.
Well, I think Ross Perot would be the only one that would be actually eligible for the federal matching fund that Dick Lamb would be.
art bell
No, I don't think that's well, let's see what.
unidentified
To be the candidate that got that is eligible, not the party.
art bell
Well, I know, but if they nominate Dick Lamb, then he would be the candidate.
unidentified
I know, but he's not the candidate that got 19% of the vote in the last election.
Only Ross Prow would be eligible for those matching campaigns.
art bell
No, it would depend on the amount of support you engendered.
In other words, if he engendered sufficient support, Dick Lamb did, as the official candidate of the party and raised X number of dollars, then he would be eligible for matching funds.
unidentified
Well, just to be perfectly libertarian, we are not going to take them.
art bell
Well, that's right.
Harry Brown has squarely said, even though there was a bit of a fight in the party, I guess, about it, that he's not going to accept them, and I have a great deal of respect for that man.
unidentified
Well, for anybody who missed the Libertarian Convention on C-SPAN, our party platform is about 20 pages, where I imagine the party platforms are the other two, well, I call them one-party, two-branding.
Phone books.
art bell
Phone books.
unidentified
It will be 20 kilograms.
art bell
Yeah, that's right.
unidentified
All right.
art bell
Well, listen, I'll say it again since you asked.
Yeah, sure.
We're going to have a full five hours of Harry Brown during the Republican convention.
Then maybe to be absolutely fair, we'll play him again during the Democrat convention.
unidentified
I don't know.
art bell
Actually, I'm willing to interview all of the candidates.
And I say it again.
That includes Bill Clinton.
That includes Bob Dole.
God, I would love to interview Bob Dole, and I would give him a truly fair interview.
And why this man has, you know, I've issued an official invitation to Bob Dole's campaign.
I sent them information on all the affiliates, how big we are, the whole ball of wax.
And anybody who's listened to this show for any period of time knows darn well, even Bill Clinton, I'd give a fair interview to.
And why they have not yet come to us and said, yeah, come on.
I mean, Bob Dole is short of money, right?
That's what I'm hearing.
He's having trouble getting his message out because he's short of money.
And here I am with 10 or 20 million listeners any given moment.
And he's not responded.
He's not responded to me.
I am astounded.
And frankly, if they don't, you know, this might sound very egotistical, but I promise you it's not.
It has nothing to do with me.
It has to do with the size of the forum and the fact that I give fair interviews to everybody I interview.
I think.
It's my style of interviewing.
I don't go after people.
I ask sometimes fair and hard questions, but I don't go after them.
I'm no Katie Couric.
And so why I haven't heard from the Dole campaign absolutely astounds me.
Wild Card Line, you're on the air.
Hi.
unidentified
Hi.
You were talking about a couple days ago about what may be on the president's mind about the time that plane went down and then he visited the Olympics.
And I videoed the opening ceremonies.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
And he did, coming out, when he came out to greet the officials as they played Hail to the Chief.
He was looking down humbly, then all of a sudden, it looked like he almost tripped on something.
He almost did a Gerald Ford.
And he was shocked.
But anyway, I don't know.
His mind must have been somewhere else.
But tomorrow night, will Richard Hoagland be getting into what Galileo is going to find in Europa's waters up there in Europa around Jupiter?
art bell
My lips are sealed.
unidentified
The little light forms.
My lips are sealed.
Your lips are sealed.
And let's see, what else?
I guess that's it.
He's coming on at midnight tomorrow night, right?
art bell
No, he's coming on at 11 o'clock.
unidentified
11 o'clock.
art bell
Pacific time, yeah.
First hour of the program.
unidentified
Okay, I'm going to be visiting some family, and I'm going to listen to it then if they don't mind me staying up.
art bell
Well, you mean they might tell you to go to bed?
unidentified
No, I don't think so, but I don't want to disturb them as they sleep.
art bell
This is why they make earphones, sir.
unidentified
Yeah, that's true.
art bell
Have a good morning.
unidentified
Bye.
art bell
Take care.
Yeah, that works.
First time caller line, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hi.
Hi, Mr. Bell.
Yes.
This is Russ from Hay Howe Country in Denver.
art bell
Yes, Russ.
How are you doing?
unidentified
Fine, how are you?
Fine.
I've been listening to you for about six months now, and you're just terrific.
I love all the stuff they talk about, especially UFOs and the activity like that.
But, you know, I called to ask you, is it a possibility that it's a payback time?
If it was a surface-tair missile, remember when that Navy frigate knocked down that Iranian airliner?
art bell
They do, yes.
unidentified
And I'm just wondering if it were that the case that maybe the...
art bell
Oh, I thought we'd already been paid back for that.
unidentified
Yeah, but I just think it may be because of that frigate situation, knocking down that Iranian airliner, they're crazy enough to do that, you know.
So I just thought I'd bring that up to you.
art bell
Well, if it turns out to be state-sponsored terrorism and they actually pin it, for example, on Iran, there will be military action.
Bill Clinton, Bob Dole, whoever is in the White House will have no choice.
There will be military action.
unidentified
Yeah, I would think so.
I would certainly hope so.
And I know that, you know, this terrorism seems to get out of hand, and it's just getting worse and worse.
art bell
Now, the real thing to be worried about is that it's homegrown.
unidentified
Yes, yes.
I know the former FBI director, somebody there said that in the news last night that it was a simple timer and a pretty heavy explosive drive.
That was his opinion, you know.
art bell
Well, that's all it could be because they haven't even positively said it was an explosion, so I don't really see.
unidentified
Well, I thank you very much for boy, I think I get you, but I enjoy your show and hope to listen again.
art bell
Okay, my friend, take care and thank you.
Wildcard line, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hello.
Kilo greetings from Eric and Pullman listening to you on KQQQ.
art bell
In Pullman, Washington, yes.
unidentified
Correct.
art bell
Yeah, welcome to the program.
unidentified
Yeah, three comments.
One on Bob Dole.
I sure hope he comes on your show because I haven't heard any issues from him.
I'd like to hear stuff about him.
art bell
Well, I sure have invited him.
unidentified
My second comment, in terms of capital punishment, I think the only theories that go along with it are like retribution or just desserts.
Yes, sir.
Or the eye for an eye mortality.
Or you could say also permanent incapacitation.
art bell
All right, sir.
Thank you.
Well, we're almost out of time here.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified
Hello.
Hey, Art.
How's it going?
art bell
It's going.
unidentified
All right.
art bell
In fact, it's almost gone.
unidentified
Oh, no.
art bell
Oh.
unidentified
Well, I'll tell you what, I'll save my comments for next time.
art bell
Oh, really?
Well, all right, hold on.
Would you like to get the honors tonight?
unidentified
Yeah, that'd be great.
art bell
Can you hold on a moment?
Yeah.
All right, stay right there, because I want to lay this on you all one last time.
Good Night, America 00:00:26
art bell
Did you get it that time?
All right, sir, you get the honors.
unidentified
All right, from Tuscaloosa, Alabama.
Roll Todd, and good morning or good night, America.
art bell
Yeah, that's the way to do it.
All right, from the high desert.
Good night, America.
