art bell ▲ ● ▼		He is east of the Rockies, and you're listening to AM 1500 KSTP.
		From the high desert of the great American Southwest, I bid you all good evening, good morning, wherever you may be across all these many time zones.
		From the westernmost tip of our commercial participation in the Cahitian and Hawaiian Island chains, eastward to the Caribbean and the U.S. Virgin Islands.
		Good morning in St. Thomas.
		I don't hear enough from St. Thomas.
		I always have to open a special line to hear from St. Thomas.
		Maybe I'll do that.
		South into South America, north all the way to the Pole and worldwide on the grand, the internet, thanks to AudioNet in Dallas.
		I'm Mark Bellen.
		This is Coast to Coast AM.
		Good morning.
		There are a number of health issues that we're going to talk about in about an hour here with Dr. Robert Bogosian.
		And there's some weird stuff going on out there.
		Do you remember when they said sperm counts were down, male sperm counts in Europe and the Americas were down?
		And it was quite a shocking thing.
		And then they said, wait a minute, here's a new study, and they're not down.
		As a matter of fact, they're even.
		Well, now there is a newer study which says that they were down even further than they originally thought.
		And so that's pretty weird.
		I've got a new story on that tonight.
		In Zaire, there is something new.
		They're calling it monkeypox.
		I don't know what it is.
		We'll find out.
		With regard to the flu, a three-year-old boy has just died from the flu, which he contracted.
		Get this, folks.
		From a bird.
		A bird.
		Now, what seems to be happening is that a lot of diseases appear to be doing a species jump.
		There is a story about a milk problem in the Northeast.
		That's right, a milk problem.
		Shades of Major Ed Dames.
		So I'm going to try to find out about all of this with Dr. Bogossi in the next hour.
		News?
		Well, Attorney General Janet Reno says she's considered the facts, everything, the law, and is not going to appoint an independent counsel to probe into what the Democrats have done with regard to fundraising.
		She will continue to look at the president and vice president and what they have done.
		I think rather than jack around with appointing an independent counsel, they really should do something about fundraising, period.
		That's the real problem.
		And the real problem is on both sides of the aisle, and every damn one of them knows it.
		It really is on both sides of the aisle.
		Whether or not the president or vice president made a call or two or whatever from the White House, from their office, I don't know if that's a national scandal, but the way campaigns are financed is a national scandal.
		So I think they ought to just do something about the whole mess myself.
		In West Paducah, Kentucky, the horror continues to unfold.
		And the reasons do not.
		A 14-year-old walked in with several guns and killed three of his classmates, wounded a bunch more.
		Nobody knows why.
		In Tennessee, a dad turns himself in for killing his four children.
		Nobody really seems to know why the violence is...
		And it may be in some totals.
		Of course, the totals were gigantic, so anything that sees it go down a little bit is good in numbers, but the violence is different.
		Now, what do I mean by that?
		Well, in the old days, and I'm only 52, so the old days are not that old, there was generally a reason.
		And most of the time, you were always killed by somebody you knew.
		You know, a love triangle, a business, associated problem, whatever, that kind of thing.
		There was a reason for a murder.
		Today's violence, wherever the numbers are, is different.
		People are killing each other for not discernible reasons or reasons that perhaps they have and they're not able to articulate to us.
		It's crazy.
		The following from Reuters, astronomers get this, said Tuesday, they had captured the image of an exploding black hole right in Earth's own Milky Way galaxy.
		An exploding black hole?
		They used a string of radio telescopes across Britain to capture the image of the explosion that, in fact, was predicted by Einstein's theories.
		The scientists at Britain's radio astronomy lab said the black hole is at the center of a microquasar called GRS 1915 in the constellation of a quill in Eagle.
		It is about 40,000 light years away, a light year being the distance, Of course, that light can travel in a year at 186,000 miles per second.
		So, a black hole can explode.
	That's weird.
	And if that's weird, this is even stranger.
	From Miami, the following Associated Press story, a woman who police believe may have fallen out of an airplane was killed after hitting a garden wall in an apartment complex on Tuesday.
	Police have not the slightest idea of who she is or how she fell.
	Nobody saw her fall.
	They have no clue.
	Residents heard a loud bang and went outside and found a woman's body had landed on a garden wall and had ripped in half.
	I'm serious.
	Police say she could not have fallen from a nearby 20-story building.
	The tallest structure in the area.
	Condition of her body indicates she fell from a much higher point.
	The woman was wearing a long black shirt and black tights, had zero identification.
	She was described as white, with shoulder length, black hair.
	Police estimated she was in her mid-30s to late 40s.
	The detective said, right now, we're still trying to figure out where we go from here.
	You have to put together at least a part of the mystery before you even start in a direction.
	So they don't have, you know, they're looking at fingerprints.
	They're calling airports trying to figure out what might have been going on.
	But this woman just fell from the sky.
	Kerplunk.
	And that's underdoing the sounds that must have been created when she hit.
	What in the world?
	One day, Bill was out raking leaves when he noticed a hearse slowly drive by.
	Following the first hearse was a second hearse, which was followed by a man walking very solemnly along, followed by a dog, and then about 200 men walking in single file, intrigued.
	Bill went up to the man following the second hearse and asked him who in fact was in the first hearse.
	The man said, my wife.
	Bill said, I'm sorry.
	What happened to her?
	My dog bit her and she died.
	Bill then asked the man who was in the second hearse.
	The man replied, my mother-in-law.
	My dog bit her and she died as well.
	Bill thought about this for a while, finally asking the man, can I borrow your dog?
	To which the man replied, get in line.
	200.
	Somebody named Vince in Rimrock, Arizona, sends the following, how to stop Saddam Hussein without bombs.
	And I thought we might think about this a little bit.
	He says, produce perfect counterfeits of Iranian money.
	I think they're dinars, dinars, whatever they are, dinars, in small denominations.
	Produce millions and millions of them.
	Drop them on Baghdad, along with a leaflet saying, Saddam loves you and will take care of you forever.
	Rather than kill innocent people, destroy cities, why not destroy their economy?
	If they were bombed into submission, the U.S. would likely fund the restoration of their economy anyway.
	But would it not be more humane to restore an economy lost by people who are still alive than to have to restore an economy where thousands of people were killed and less expensive since we don't have to rebuild their bridges, roads, that sort of thing?
	What do you think?
	I think it's a grand idea.
	We'll be right back.
	Unless you live in Alaska, Hawaii, or Canada.
	And then you must call Area Code 918-687-0404.
	Now, what do you think of the idea of destroying Iraq's economy with their own money, than ours?
	Print them up.
	We could do it.
	We could make them perfect.
	I mean, absolutely non-discernible from their own money.
	And if we poured enough of it, their economy would simply collapse before their eyes, and we would not have dropped one real bomb.
	What do you think?
unidentified		Hmm?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Somebody could do it to us.
		Well, they've already tried.
		In southern Lebanon, they've been printing up U.S. money for a long time now, $100 bills.
		So why not use their economy against them?
		I really am going to give this...
		I wonder if it's been considered.
		Anyway, open lines till the top of the hour.
		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Good morning.
unidentified		Hello, Art.
unidentified		It's Vince in Chicago.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hey, Vince.
unidentified		You know, your programs recently have been really quite a bit on the serious side, and they could be quite depressing, but I'd like to talk to you about some of the more funny things.
unidentified		You've had me rolling over laughing at home listening to your program.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What?
unidentified		I think it was last night you had a caller from Brooklyn, New York.
unidentified		I don't know if you've ever heard of the Jerky Boys.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The Coming to Take Me Away, ha-ha, guy?
unidentified		Well, they're these comics.
		they do these prank phone calls.
		They're really famous.
		They've had a couple of hit comedy albums.
		I think one of the Jerky Boys called you last night.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I didn't think it was that original.
unidentified		No, it wasn't too funny.
unidentified		But another program you had, you had Mark Ritchie on Dreamland.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		And there was a caller who claimed to be...
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		And there was a caller who claimed to be from West Africa.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yes.
unidentified		I don't know.
		I'll tell you, I was rolling over laughing at this guy.
		He claimed to be a partner and associate of Charles Darwin.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		worked with Charles Darwin.
unidentified		But Charles Darwin has been dead for over 100 years.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, this guy was a very old guy.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's entirely possible.
unidentified		All right, I was laughing.
unidentified		The guy was, I don't know.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Even Mark Ritchie had said his speaking style was very difficult to follow.
unidentified		I think that guy was a prank phone caller.
unidentified		Could have listened to carefully.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Could have been.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What is your point, Vince?
unidentified		Well, I was just kind of bringing up some of the funny things on your show recently.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, it just goes to show you what tickles one's bone might not tickle another's.
unidentified		As far as one of the strangest and kind of funny things also was when Richard Hoagland was talking about the old Navy stores thing.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
unidentified		You remember they had that Magic Comes Back commercial they played on March 13th, the day of the...
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I think the old Navy stores are playing it up myself.
		There's some big mystery about the old Navy stores.
		I don't know if it's what Richard Hoagland says, but there is something there.
		It's weird.
		It is.
unidentified		It's so weird, and it's kind of funny.
		You know, the timing, the day they ran that advertising blitz, it was that magic comes back.
		I know.
		That was March 13th at the Phoenix UFO incident.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, either there's something serious there or they've got a grand sense of humor and they're playing along.
unidentified		And the funniest thing was when Richard Hoagland, now this was, I was rolling over listening, when Richard Hoagland said, wear your tetrahedrons and go to old Navy stores and tell them you're there for the meeting.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, fucking.
unidentified		That is so bizarre.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, if you think that's bizarre, thanks, Vince.
		You should hear what the results of that were.
		That was some of the funniest stuff I ever read my whole life.
		I was getting email after email from people who did it and said the clerk said, oh, no, my God, here comes another one.
		It was a riot.
		Was it the Rockies?
		You're on the air.
unidentified		Hi, Art.
unidentified		This is John from Albuquerque, New Mexico.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello, John.
unidentified		Yeah, I was wanting to talk about Major Dames a little bit.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
unidentified		Yeah, I think people ought to consider that there's a money aspect to his programs.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		He admits it.
		Yeah, I mean, nobody's hiding it.
		There definitely is.
		He's selling videotapes that teach you how to remote view, and he's charging for them.
		And he readily says so.
unidentified		Yeah, I agree.
		He says so, but he doesn't say so on the air on how much they cost.
		The first one is just about $50 for the first two hours.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, something like that.
unidentified		And then the second set he has, I called, and he has $249.95.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that's where the meat of it is.
		You know what, though?
		What?
		Remote viewing courses, if you go to any of the major remote viewers who offer them in the country, are thousands and thousands of dollars.
		So it depends on how you look at it.
unidentified		Yeah, well, you know, he kind of indicated that he wanted to get it into people's hands.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yep.
unidentified		But I figure, you know, if the world was really going to come to an end, that, you know, he would try to make it as cheap as possible.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, there's a million ways that you could look at it.
		You know?
		In other words, he needs the money to go and do what he's going to do.
		And he says that outright, and I understand that.
		The other, though, is that he's now selling.
		In other words, once he's let all of this out on videotape, that's really going to be the end of it because that's all you need.
		You don't need to go to the thousands of dollars worth of courses anymore.
		So who knows?
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You know the answer for you personally?
unidentified		What?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		If you don't think it's a good deal, don't buy it.
		You got it.
		That's right.
		Caveat emtor or something like that.
		Buyer, beware.
		You know, it's there.
		You can buy it or not.
unidentified		Yeah, that's it.
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Is that it?
		Yeah, that's about it.
		All right, see you later.
		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Hi, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello.
unidentified		My name is Haley.
unidentified		I'm in Michigan.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, turn your radio off, Haley.
unidentified		I got it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		There you go.
unidentified		Are we on the air?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What do you think?
unidentified		I think we are.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Good guess.
unidentified		I'd like to talk a little bit about the guy that you had on last night, Mr. Pye.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Ah, yes, Lloyd Pye.
unidentified		Yeah, very interesting stuff.
		Stack is really a wonderful introduction to things of Samaria.
		One of the things that he said the other night in response to one of the callers who was a little bit antagonistic about the cuneiform script.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yes.
unidentified		The people writing, you know, said that anybody that could do genetic research would not be writing on clay tablets.
		But, you know, nobody's claimed that the people from Nibiru were writing on clay tablets.
		It was the Sumerians that were doing that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, and as well, as I answered last night, if you look at the big brouhaha going on now about all of the incredibly important documents regarding early technological development of radar and all these very important things that they have simply shredded.
		I mean, shredded.
		This is stuff that occurred around 50 years ago, all right?
unidentified		Yep.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		We've got the inscriptions On the tablets from thousands and thousands of years ago, and we have lost records of some of the most important part of a current human history to a shredder.
		Case closed.
		I've got to run, bottom of the hour.
		Thanks for the call.
		This is Coast to Coast AM.
unidentified		Coast to Coast AM.
		Art Bell is taking your calls on the wildcard line at Area Code 702-727-1295.
		That's 702-727-1295.
		This is Coast to Coast AM from the Kingdom of Bode with Art Bell.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I would be that one.
		Hello there, everybody.
		Can you imagine falling, if that's what happened, because they really don't know, from an airplane?
		Falling from an airplane and then hitting a picket fence and getting split in two.
		Horrible way to go.
		Or maybe not.
		But I mean, she had to fall from a very long distance, which means she was probably conscious all the way down.
		And I'm sure she saw the ground welling up closer and closer and closer, and then finally probably looked down and said, oh, damn, a picket fence.
		She probably actually said something else, but you get the idea.
		Boy, it must have been horrible.
		A woman actually fell out of the sky, they think, from an airplane, and was split in two when she hit a picket fence.
		It's an AP story.
		This morning.
		Weird.
		Why would a person want to see in the dark?
		Let me tell you.
		There's a lot of reasons.
		If there's a contest between somebody who can see in the dark and somebody who can't see in the dark, there's no contest.
		You know what I mean?
		I live out here in the desert where it's very dark.
		They don't put a lot of lights around.
		And I can see in the dark because I've got night vision from AMT.
		And this is the dogondist, neatest, new product originally, of course, developed for the military.
		It's the MO2.
		And it is a superb, superb piece of equipment.
		It lets you see in the dark.
		It amplifies light 32,000 times.
		It has all glass, finely ground optics.
		While a lot of companies who are beginning to sell night vision scopes use plastic, guaranteed not as good, glass and finely ground optics are much, much better.
		We tested every single night vision scope we could lay our gloms on, and there was no contest.
		The AMT, which is produced in the San Francisco area, is the runaway, and I mean runaway best piece of gear for the money.
		It's amazing.
		I can go out at night and I can look at the coyotes running around.
		I see them.
		They don't see me.
		And coyotes are pretty wily, believe me.
		And rabbits, those foul little things that won't get in my yard anymore, ha ha ha, due to a rather large dog named Giza, who I'm sure would just love to have a rabbit come on my property.
		Goodbye, rabbits.
		Anyway, that's a long and old story, but it's the end of the rabbit problem, that's for damn sure.
		Look, you can see all of this with a night vision scope, and of course there are some very serious applications, as you can imagine, if somebody's prowling around.
		You can see them, and they can't see you.
		Enough said.
		You can see a picture of this night scope on the Seacrane Company's website, which is available through my website.
		So if you wish, go take a look.
		They're going to sell out immediately again.
		They're very hard to keep in stock, and they are $349.95.
		I suggest you move quickly.
		Call Bob Crane in the morning at 7.30 a.m. at 1-800-522-8863.
		1-800-522-8863.
		Now, Area 51, the alien interview.
		Yes, an alien interviewed at Area 51.
		Did it really occur?
		Victor, of course, says so, and he is the one who smuggled this footage out of Area 51.
		I believe in some sort of digital format, as a matter of fact.
		He is now hiding, and try as I might, I cannot get another interview from Victor.
		So he really is hiding.
		We've got the 65-minute total documentary on videotape, the one that Extra and Strange Universe had for just a very few seconds.
		Now you get the entire interview.
		It's $19.95 plus shipping and handling to order call.
		1-800-510-3420.
		That's 1-800-510-3420.
		From Darrell in Los Angeles, the kindly person who sent me my incredible Green Bay Packers helmet, genuine helmet, which I am bound and determined to get signed by Brett Farf, Ken, writes something kind of interesting.
		art, my interest in politics has reached a lifetime low.
		But on occasions like now, when I'm faced with a moment of reflection, I remind myself of an observation by Mark Russell.
	Quote: In Washington, truth is so precious that it is only used in emergencies.
	Well, I think that's exactly right.
	In Washington, truth is so precious, it's only used in emergencies.
	That's a truism.
	First time caller line, you're on the air.
	Hello.
unidentified		Hi, Pella.
		How are you doing?
		Hello, I'm all right.
		I would like to know if you have a mailing address, please.
		There's some information I want to send you, and I'm not prepared to talk about it on the radio right now.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, secret stuff, huh?
unidentified		Well, I think you deserve information, and you deserve to have the records head straight.
unidentified		Sit straight about something.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Give me a hint.
unidentified		Werewolves.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Cool-werewolves, really?
unidentified		Yes, sir.
unidentified		Cool.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You ready to copy my address?
unidentified		Pencil in hand.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's Art Bell, of course.
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		P.O. Box 4755.
		In Harump.
		That's P-A-H-R-U-M-P.
unidentified		Been through there.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Been there, huh?
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Nevada.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Zip code 89041-4755.
unidentified		Expect something, sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Maggies.
		Yes, you're welcome.
		That sounds pretty ominous.
		Werewolves, huh?
		Think there really are werewolves?
		Probably.
		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Good morning.
unidentified		Oh, hi.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, hi.
unidentified		I had to turn the radio down.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's true.
unidentified		I just wanted a call to say I'm calling from Nashville, Tennessee.
		This is Shalma.
		I sent you a facts a while ago because I just wanted to see if it would work.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		WTN.
unidentified		Okay, yeah.
		I wanted to say thank you very much for having that lady, Carol Dennis, on.
		You're welcome.
		I talked to her and contacted her, and she is a very fantastic person.
		And that's basically all I wanted to say.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, so in a way, your phone call was like your facts?
		Sort of, kind of.
		Just to see if it works.
unidentified		Yeah.
unidentified		Did you get the photographs, though, and that weird tape?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Photographs and weird tape.
unidentified		Yeah.
unidentified		From who?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		From you?
unidentified		Yeah, through regular mail.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I get, you know, that's a question that is very hard for me to answer.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I get good zillions of photographs and tape, so unless you tell me what it's all about.
unidentified		About a UFO sighting above my house, and it was an audio tape because I didn't have a video camera.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, I did get that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you.
unidentified		Okay.
		I'm going to send some other things.
		Some strange writings that I have.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You mean that you do?
unidentified		Uh, yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You mean like automatic writing?
unidentified		Sort of.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		From a disembodied spirit?
unidentified		I don't know what it is, but it's symbols and.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, you need to listen tomorrow night when Malachi Martin is on.
unidentified		Oh, yeah, I like to listen to him.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Good.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		He can help you.
unidentified		All right, thank you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, take care.
		On my international line, you are on the air.
		Good morning.
unidentified		Hey, Art, it's Jesse from B.C. again.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Jesse from B.C., how are you doing?
unidentified		Pretty good.
unidentified		I called you not too long ago, go about werewolves.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, that was pretty ominous, huh?
unidentified		Yeah, actually.
		That's why I called.
		You know what I'd like you to do, if you could, is see if you can't maybe find an expert on werewolves.
		I know there's got to be one out there somewhere.
		Because there's something about that guy's voice that...
		Here we go again.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, we know it's right, don't we, Jesse?
unidentified		Well, yeah, but I don't think it has too much with me being a werewolf, if that's what you're shooting at again.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, Jesse, you respond like Pavlov's dog when the word werewolf comes up.
unidentified		Well, I can't help it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I know that's what I'm trying to tell you.
		It's like when you sleep, I'm sure you can't help what you do.
		You know what I mean?
unidentified		Well, you know what?
		You're starting to make me nervous now.
		I'm thinking about maybe tying one of my ankles to the bed or something at night.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I'm not certainly not saying that you should do something like that, but it would answer some questions, Jesse.
unidentified		No, I don't actually have too many questions.
unidentified		It's just that things still keep happening.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I mean, like when you wake up in the morning, sometimes go to the mirror and ask yourself, is that really lipstick on me?
unidentified		I don't wear lipstick.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, Jesse, I don't know what to say.
		We'll wait until whatever it was that he apparently is going to send to me shows up.
		We'll see.
		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Yes, this is GW in Illinois.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		GW.
unidentified		How are you doing?
unidentified		I was listening to some of Ed Dame's old stuff on the radio or on the internet the other day.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Archives.
unidentified		Yes, the archives.
unidentified		And he was predicting some time travel in 50 years.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What he said was, yeah, that's right.
		I believe he was the one, wasn't he, who said that I asked him if time travel is real, where are all the time travelers?
		And he said you will see them at the moment that time travel is invented.
unidentified		Yeah, he was talking about arts parts and them being from a time machine.
		That's right.
		Well, since his sort of his thing on, I just got to say he scared me the other day.
		But since his thing about the world coming to an end in 99.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		He didn't quite say that.
unidentified		Or he said, yeah, well, he said that there's going to be a big thing that kills a bunch of people, right?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		80%, 90%.
unidentified		Yeah.
unidentified		Well, I was just wondering if that was true, then how the time travel thing could actually become possible.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, because he didn't say everybody was going to die.
		Remember?
		Yeah.
		So?
		So then, in fact, if you think about it, it's a perfect time travel story.
		If, in fact, there is going to be this horrible event, the sun or some other horrid little event, wouldn't people in the future come back and try to change that?
unidentified		That makes sense to me.
unidentified		I have one other thing.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, sir.
unidentified		Just about if time travel actually was possible by way of machines and such like that, wouldn't the timeline just become all encompassed in one thing?
		Wouldn't there be like there would be absolutely no time?
		There'd have to be a bunch of laws, and it seems like those people would break those laws all the time.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		People breaking laws?
unidentified		Yeah, makes sense.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, I'm sure that time travel laws would be adhered to about like campaign finance laws on.
unidentified		Exactly.
		But I just think that there would be just parallels.
		Like, technology would always come back in time, and pretty soon that there wouldn't be a need for a timeline anyway.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		There wouldn't be one left after all the lawbreakers got done with it.
		First time caller line, you're on the air.
		Hi.
unidentified		Hi, this is Mike from Esconito.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, sir.
unidentified		I just wondered, have you ever had, I'm a new listener, have you ever had or considered having Chuck Missler on your show?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, I have not had him on yet, but I have considered it.
unidentified		Okay, great, because I just put a book out, Alien Encounters, and they mentioned you in the book.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		They mentioned me?
unidentified		Yeah, they clicked me.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, really?
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No kidding.
unidentified		Yeah, it's a book by Chuck Missler and Mark Eastman.
unidentified		Mm-hmm.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, good, because it's real, so I'm glad they've mentioned it, and I'm glad you mentioned it.
		Thank you.
		Sure, Chuck Missler is somebody I may have on.
		I'm really glad you mentioned it.
		I have authored two books, The Art of Talk, which is just sort of a saga of me and talk radio and behind-the-scenes stuff.
		And it was a fun book to write.
		It was very frank, and there are still lots and lots of people who will not talk to me because of what I said in that book.
		And, you know, at first I really regretted that because there were people who were so angry with me.
unidentified		God, angry.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And they still won't talk to me.
		But the more I thought about it, the more I thought, who gives a damn?
		You know, I'm glad that I did it that way, that I told it that way.
		And, of course, my current book, The Quickening, which you can get in bookstores.
		However, between now and Christmas, or until supplies run out, and it's going to be until supplies run out, because the stock is getting low.
		But I did promise around Christmas I would do an autograph thing.
		So I'm doing it.
		If you would like either one or both of my books, and you get a bit of a price break if you buy both books, they're both hardback books.
		None of my books are in paperback.
		They're all hardback books.
		Between now and Christmas, you can get an autographed copy.
		And this is a rather historical moment because I am not going to do it again.
		This is it.
		The number to call right now, or 24 hours a day, is 1-800-864-7991.
		A gazillion people have been asking me if I was going to do this at Christmas, and I promised yes for a short time at Christmas, and then it's all over because I can't do it anymore.
		You know, there's not enough time in the day.
		So, last call, folks.
		Autographed books at 1-800-864-7991.
		You can call right now.
		Operators await the sound, the lovely tones of your voice at that number.
		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Hi.
unidentified		Yes.
		Hi, Eric.
		I'm surprised I got through.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Somebody has to.
unidentified		Yeah, I'm surprised that I got through so quickly.
unidentified		Anyway, this is Kathy in Oklahoma City, and I was checking to see if you got the facts friend of mine transmitted for me today.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I don't know.
unidentified		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What was it about?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I mean, how it got through.
unidentified		Yeah, I was fixing to jump into that.
unidentified		I was so disappointed, Friday, when you told that fella when the story hadn't changed, the reason I don't let people give out websites anymore is because people get in a hurry and write them down wrong and wind up in weird places.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, there is that, and then there is the fact that I got burned a couple of times.
unidentified		Yeah, but you're still thinking I burned you, and I didn't.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, you're still accepting guilt when maybe it wasn't just you.
unidentified		Okay, well, your other comment made it sound that way.
		Anyway, it's...
		But you don't think that about me.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I don't think that about you.
unidentified		Okay.
		All right.
		All right.
		Let me know what you think of that short story when you get a chance to download it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
unidentified		Thank you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you, dear.
		Take care.
		First time caller line, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hi.
unidentified		Hello?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello?
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes?
unidentified		Yeah, I had a question.
		Good.
		Okay.
		I wanted to know about Crystal Gale, the song that he plays.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Crystal Gale the song, yes.
unidentified		Right, when Daniel Brinkley.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		But he plays?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Who's he?
unidentified		Art Bell.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm Art Bell.
unidentified		Okay.
unidentified		The name of the song that you played when Daniel Brinkley was sick.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Ready for the Times to Get Better.
unidentified		Ready for the Times to Get Better.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
unidentified		Thank you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're welcome.
unidentified		That was a great song.
		Can you play it again sometime?
		Sure.
		Ready for the Times?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, it really is.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's from the soul, huh?
unidentified		It certainly is.
		She has a beautiful voice.
		I didn't realize how good until they're ready for the time.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yep, thank you.
		Her name is appropriate, Crystal.
		Her appearance, her voice is exactly that.
		Crystal, all the way.
		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hi.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, hi, Art.
		Hello.
		Turn your radio off.
		That's Jim.
		Jim, turn your radio off.
unidentified		Yeah, it's off.
unidentified		This is Jim in St. Louis.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, Sir.
unidentified		And I heard you talked about the monkeypox earlier.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		One small ray of hope in it, at least, is the news article that I saw said that those of us who are old enough to have been vaccinated against smallpox probably won't have to worry about it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Not smallpox.
		Excuse me?
		You still got your radio on?
		I'm going to have to call it.
		I'm going to leave the line if you don't call the wildcard lines.
		Area 702-727-1295.
		Yep.
		Goodbye.
		West of the Rockies, you're on air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Mr. Bell.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Mr. Caller.
unidentified		This is Robert in San Joaquin Valley, California.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, Robert.
unidentified		You know, Mr. Bell, I really am excited because you've got so many millions, millions of additional listeners.
unidentified		But, you know, for people like myself, regulars, it's becoming more and more difficult to get through.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		But, and yet, here you are.
unidentified		Yeah, I know.
		Persistence.
		I have three things for you tonight, if I may.
		Is that right?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I don't know.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It depends on how long each thing is.
unidentified		I'll try to make it short.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
unidentified		All right.
		First of all, light bulbs.
		As you notice, they've got many different types of light bulbs, and they advertise how many hours they will last.
		Well, holding this copy of Associated Press, it says here, a low-watt bulb apparently has been banning 24 hours a day since the 1920s.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
unidentified		Yes, sir.
		Mr. Harry, I'll spell it, S-A-K-A-S-E-G-A-W-A 71 at that time, shown here, remembers the light bulb during the 1920s wedding.
		He opened Harry's garage in Salinas, California in 1936.
		General Electric stopped making the bulb in 1920.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, I'm going to try and hold you over until the next hour.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Can you do that?
unidentified		Oh, I'd love to.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, I'm holding you over then.
		Stay right there.
		I've got a couple things I've got to get done.
		That's one, 800-282-3333.
		This year, give a gift that's truly out of this world.
		Out of this world.
		Now, I don't know that I have it queued up, but I will try.
		We'll see if we can get it going.
		Gail, Crystal Gail, the man is absolutely right.
		She's a beautiful woman.
		It's a beautiful song.
		It's called Waiting for the Times to Get Better.
