A local prison official says that Whitewater figure James McDougall was in solitary confinement when he died Sunday of an apparent heart attack.
McDougall, who had a history of medical problems, was placed in, quote, administrative detention, unquote, Saturday night because he had refused to give a urine sample as part of random drug testing.
But the prison spokesman says solitary confinement was safe for McDougal because inmates there are checked on every 30 minutes.
Here is investigative reporter Chris Ruddy, who works for...
christopher ruddy
It is the Pittsburgh Tribune Review.
art bell
Yeah, okay.
christopher ruddy
Also author of The Strange Death of Vincent Foster.
unidentified
Right.
art bell
Available in bookstores everywhere.
christopher ruddy
Maybe we'll have a sequel.
art bell
Well, look, I'm going to play the devil's advocate a little bit here.
McDougal was a sick guy, right?
christopher ruddy
Well, look, I always play the devil's advocate as well.
Well, you want me to be?
That's the job of a prep.
art bell
You want me to be the conspiratorial guy?
I can do that.
christopher ruddy
I thought we were both the conspiracy nuts.
What are we doing up at this hour?
art bell
So, hey, Chris, how did they murder McDougal?
I mean, we all know they did it.
It was some sort of strange drug that they slipped him.
We all know they can do that.
Induces heart attacks, boom, just like that.
So what's the story, Chris?
christopher ruddy
Well, I don't know if McDougal was murdered or not.
I'm going to assume the story that we've been told by the government.
However, I believe there should be a full investigation, just as there would be in any case.
Art, if you took any case where there was a major criminal prosecution and one of the key witnesses suddenly dies of a heart attack, even though he might have had some illnesses, two weeks after a major witness turned that was corroborating, apparently, parts of his story, that's Governor Tucker, just turned apparently two weeks ago and agreed to cooperate with Starr.
And he dies on the anniversary, six years to the day, March 8th, 1992, when the scandal first breaks in the New York Times, when Jeff Gerth, a reporter for the Times, reports that the Whitewater scandal could hurt the Clintons and has all sorts of allegations from a person named James McDougal.
art bell
All right, the skeptic in me for a second.
Let's say, for example, that you are going to have McDougal oft in jail.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
The last time you would do it would be on the anniversary of when it all began.
christopher ruddy
Well, I wouldn't jump to that conclusion.
Well, look, again, I want to assume that this is a heart attack, but let's play the devil's advocate.
Oftentimes, when organized crime, for example, does hit, they typically do hits where there's little signals.
And when they do a hit where it doesn't look like a hit, they leave their fingerprints so that others in the circle know and have reason to believe that it's murder.
And it's done to keep other people quiet.
art bell
Like the IRS auditing high-profile folks, that kind of thing.
Yeah.
Same theory.
christopher ruddy
Same theory.
art bell
Screw with us and, you know, see what can happen.
christopher ruddy
Well, this was part of the problem in the Foster case.
And again, as you know, I've never said Vince Foster was murdered.
But a number of people obviously have.
There, people like Webb Hubble, who was telling people on the night of Foster's death he was murdered.
art bell
Right, but let's, you know, Foster is then and McDougal is now.
And I really want comments from you on McDougal.
Now, let's get in.
First of all, the audience should know what I know, and that is that now with McDougal having died, the implication for the investigation is that any evidence that McDougal gave can now not be used in court.
Is that correct?
christopher ruddy
That is correct.
Grand jury testimony is considered hearsay when there's no cross-examination.
It's inadmissible in court.
Now, again, if...
He lacked a lot of credibility.
He had lied so many times.
Maybe he had some documents.
He was always talking about documents.
But alone, he was no good.
Corroborating Jim Guy Tucker, the former governor of Arkansas, he would have been a very powerful witness.
Whereas Tucker was corroborating him, the two of them could be very, very powerful.
art bell
So even evidence as damning as a videotaped interview with McDougal could not be introduced into evidence by Ken Starr in some subsequent prosecution of whoever it might be?
christopher ruddy
No, because you can't cross-examine a videotape deposition, for example.
So let's say there was a videotape of McDougal.
They wouldn't be able to use that.
Congress would not be given, couldn't be given his secret grand jury testimony to look at.
So he's really literally a dead witness.
art bell
So his being gone, not only is he dead, but any evidence that he gave is dead as a doornail too, unless they can verify it through the next source if he indeed pointed to one.
christopher ruddy
Well, my sources that are close to this investigation are saying this has dealt a very, very serious blow to the investigation.
And the reason it has is that the target of the investigation is Bill and Hillary Clinton.
And the star was moving, with McDougal's help, apparently, towards Hillary because she was the attorney for record for Madison Guarantee, which was McDougal's bank, which went down To the tune of $60 million.
art bell
I have always said, Chris, and I have always thought that if there was going to be real legal trouble, it would probably be Hillary's.
I've conjectured about that now for actually years.
unidentified
Well, Jim did not like Hillary.
christopher ruddy
In fact, in my last conversation, I interviewed him several times.
I interviewed him just before he went to jail, and I think he was the most candid.
And he clearly indicated to me that he was not happy with Hillary Clinton.
So now here's the thing.
Governor Tucker, from what I can see from the dealings that took place, was not dealing or working directly with the Clintons.
What he knew about the Clintons, he knew through Jim McDougal.
McDougal was sort of the nexus, was the conduit between Tucker, the Clintons, and others involved in this web of scandal.
Take McDougal out, and everything Jim Guy Tucker says is just hearsay.
art bell
Hearsay.
Hearsay.
I've got you.
So this is a very, very serious blow, the death of McDougal.
christopher ruddy
Yeah, I mean, leave aside the issue, and there'll always be conspiracy theorists that'll question that death.
It's sort of fortunate for the people that are being investigated here that this has taken place, especially that there's talk that this is coming to a head now after all of this time.
unidentified
Did McDougal have a heart condition?
christopher ruddy
He apparently had some heart problems over the years.
I was speaking to him about his medical condition, and he indicated to me that he had some medical conditions, but it didn't sound like he was ready to have a heart attack or anything like that.
He said that he was suffering from some psychological depression and things like that.
art bell
Did he tell you of any previous heart condition?
christopher ruddy
Not that I remember, no.
art bell
Is there any medical record to indicate a previous heart condition?
christopher ruddy
Well, I don't know of any.
There haven't been, they've mentioned in the press reports that he had chronic circulatory and cardio problems.
But there's no evidence that I know of that he had, let's say, a heart attack before this.
art bell
All right.
I heard, not in this Reuters' story I read you tonight, but I heard that he died in a prison hospital.
Is that accurate?
christopher ruddy
Yeah, well, he was checking into a prison hospital.
unidentified
Was he in it when he died?
christopher ruddy
Not that I know of.
Well, actually, I believe he was in a prison hospital, and then they transferred him to a private hospital in Fort Worth.
art bell
All right, what it says here...
A federal prison official says Whitewater figure James McDougall was in solitary confinement when he died Sunday of an apparent heart attack.
McDougal, with a history of medical problems, doesn't say heart, was placed in administrative detention Saturday night because he had refused to give a urine sample as part of a random drug test.
But the prisons, now that's important, the prisons spokesman says solitary confinement was safe for McDougal because inmates there are checked on every 30 minutes.
unidentified
Well, I guess it wasn't safe.
christopher ruddy
Well, these medical facilities, the U.S. government has semi-hospitals where convicts that have medical problems live.
But they usually don't have, let's say, the full medical facilities.
They don't have operating rooms.
Doctors 24 hours a day there.
But they're for people that are not in intensive care, let's say, but people that have chronic conditions.
And so this is why when they mentioned the prison, there are prison medical facilities.
Who was that one of them from the day he entered the federal prison system?
art bell
Because of his stated medical problems.
christopher ruddy
Right, which were apparently several.
art bell
Which could be, you know, when you say circulatory, then that implies possible heart problems, constricted veins, that sort of thing.
So it is reasonable to suggest that he might have had heart problems.
christopher ruddy
Absolutely.
And he was of the age where he could have had that.
He certainly was apparently under some stress.
It's not easy at his age going to jail.
art bell
That's right.
christopher ruddy
He had suffered several breakdowns, apparently, in the course of his life.
art bell
He was how old when he died?
christopher ruddy
57.
art bell
57.
Well, I guess that's in the range, but it's still a little on the young side.
christopher ruddy
But on the other hand, he still is a key government witness.
You become vulnerable if there are people that don't like you and you are a key witness.
This is why, take away the personalities here, Jim McDougal, the Clintons, and all of the other intrigue that we know of.
In any case, you would do a full autopsy.
You would do full toxicology.
art bell
Sure.
christopher ruddy
You would look for exotic drugs like ricin that could cause cardiac.
art bell
Why are they doing that?
christopher ruddy
Well, as far as I know, they're doing an autopsy, and it's going to take about, they've done the autopsy, and they're going to take about two weeks to get the toxicology test.
and they're reporting back he died of a heart attack.
But you don't know until there's a full...
Well, a couple of things here.
And again, I know you sort of see the Foster thing as separate.
I don't.
I think that they're integral.
art bell
Oh, I understand.
christopher ruddy
McDougal's a player.
In fact, Foster and McDougal are sort of ground zero for the Whitewater scandal.
Jeff Gerth and the New York Times first Reports Whitewater.
And then what really brings the scandal to a head is 1993, Foster's death.
Aides of the Clintons are running into Foster's office, allegedly removing Whitewater documents.
The U.S. government, you and me, pay $30 million, Art, and the rest of your listeners for this major investigation into Foster's death that lasts over three years.
They keep on saying suicide, suicide.
They never tell us really why he died of a suicide.
And what's astounding is I spoke to McDougal just before he left for prison.
art bell
Yes.
christopher ruddy
And he said to me off the record, and I'm revealing this now for the first time, now that he's passed away, I can do that.
art bell
That what?
christopher ruddy
He was never questioned about Foster, and he was absolutely shocked.
art bell
What?
christopher ruddy
Starr never asked him about his relationship with Foster.
art bell
That's hard to believe.
christopher ruddy
I have him on tape.
art bell
Oh, I understand.
I definitely believe he said it.
Hold on.
We're at the bottom of the hour.
It's hard to believe that Starr would not ask McDougal about Foster.
unidentified
I mean, that's really hard to believe.
art bell
We'll be right back.
To investigative reporter Chris Ruddy, who is on Every Friend of the White House list.
Chris, welcome back.
You know, Chris, while you never, ever, it's true, actually say the words, Vince Foster was murdered, or James McDougall was murdered, the clear implication going unsaid and between most of the lines that one hears from you is that you suspect that.
christopher ruddy
Well, in the Foster case, all I have been saying, and this carries over to the McDougal case, we haven't really seen what the investigators or even the authorities have done yet with McDougal.
And what I'm saying there is that the procedure should be followed.
Normal procedures weren't followed with Vincent Foster.
So this has given rise to conspiracy theories and to murder theories.
So I mean that I'm saying it's murder because they didn't do some of the most basic things you need to do in a typical homicide investigation.
Also, suicides are supposed to be treated as homicides.
art bell
I mean, I know you've been over all this and many times with me.
I have no argument with that, and I agree with you.
There are many, many anomalies.
But what I'm saying is, you all but say it.
christopher ruddy
No, I disagree completely with that.
My job is to report the facts as a reporter.
If two of the paramedics reported officially in their reports that Foster was murdered, that is a story the public should know about.
If Webster Hubble on the night of the death was indicating it, that is a story the public should know about.
If there's no explanation of where Foster was on the afternoon of his death, I think that's a gaping hole that the authorities should fill in for us.
Foster was the deputy Whitehouse counsel, one of the highest officials in this country, and the cavalier way that they treated that investigation, I know, I think is very, very dangerous to the rest of us, even if it was a suicide, open and shut case.
art bell
I'm not going to press you on the matter, but I insist that everything you say leads a casual listener to believe that you believe or are very suspicious that there was a murder.
christopher ruddy
Well, certainly I wouldn't have written a whole book if I didn't think that the death was suspicious.
art bell
All right, well, all right.
christopher ruddy
But at the end of the day, why is it the authorities spend $30 million cases should be open and shut in a week?
art bell
All right, you think all of this is connected, and I'm even going to bring it on up to the Monica Lewinsky business now.
You told me something earlier today that I think is relevant when you consider McDougall's untimely passing, and that would be that Linda Tripp, who has the tapes allegedly, of Monica Lewinsky, is under guard.
Linda Tripp's under guard?
christopher ruddy
Well, absolutely.
I had a meeting this week with someone that knows her very well that's listened to 20 hours of tapes.
art bell
Yes.
christopher ruddy
And the person said that she's in a safe house in Maryland, not her normal house.
art bell
A safe house.
christopher ruddy
And there's a group of FBI agents sitting in a van outside her house.
art bell
FBI agents.
christopher ruddy
And what I pointed out today to you, Art, was that this is very similar to the situation where David Hale, who was the first cooperating Whitewater witness.
art bell
Judge Hale?
christopher ruddy
Yeah, was under constant FBI guard for months while he was giving testimony and preparing to give testimony for Fisk.
art bell
So the FBI guard for TRIP is probably coming at behest, the order of Starr's office, because he does have FBI available, right?
christopher ruddy
Exactly.
art bell
So that's where it's coming from.
christopher ruddy
Well, that's right.
And he would be the one that would have to request it.
But this is not done willy-nilly.
They just don't...
So it shows that they're not even trusting the normal federal apparatus to do witness protection here.
art bell
What about Monica Lewinsky?
Is she under guard?
christopher ruddy
Well, not that I know of, no.
But then again, she's not a cooperating witness.
art bell
Right, right.
As a matter of fact, the late news on her, is it still that she is a target or likely to be a target of the investigation?
Now, her lawyer said that he received a document, or he claims he has a document, saying that Starr named her as a target of the investigation.
Do you know if that's true?
Have you seen it?
christopher ruddy
I haven't seen the letter, but I would suppose that she would be a target.
In fact, I know there was a little debate within Starr's office, and a number of his more experienced prosecutors thought he was crazy for even attempting to get her as a cooperating witness, because she's already got sort of tainted credibility.
She claimed, for example, on part of the tapes that she embellishes her lies.
There's her former school teachers claiming things about her.
The White House can easily claim, you know, she's just a young woman who's embellishing her stories.
Better, according to my people that are close to the investigation thing, put her in with Vernon Jordan and Bill Clinton, charge them all with being in a conspiracy to obstruct justice with the Paula Jones lawsuit.
art bell
She's a much better Now, how do you get that connection?
Because they were going to take a deposition from her in the Paula Jones lawsuit?
christopher ruddy
Well, no, because they were going to take a deposition of her in the Paula Jones lawsuit.
Right.
And that Clinton apparently had asked her, this is the allegation, to lie in that deposition.
unidentified
Vernon Jordan had instructed her to lie.
christopher ruddy
This is alleged in those tapes.
art bell
Okay, but everybody that you just named is denying it flatly.
christopher ruddy
That's right.
But if you have, there's sufficient evidence, I'm told, where they could see some patterns of crimes.
One is she gave Linda Tripp a document of talking points for her deposition.
Somebody apparently gave her that.
Vernon Jordan was looking for a job for her.
art bell
I know.
christopher ruddy
This could be considered obstruction, hush, basically hush money in the form of a job.
art bell
Not unless you can prove it.
christopher ruddy
Well, not unless you can prove it.
unidentified
I mean, Webb Hubble got a job, too.
christopher ruddy
That's right.
But if there's a pattern activity, a jury doesn't have to have one of them admit that that was done.
If a jury thinks, and the prosecutors present a good case, that how unusual it would be for a White House intern to have Vernon Jordan, the president's right-hand attorney in Washington, going up and down the country looking for a job for this young lady, if he can't produce other White House interns where he's done this, he'd be in a little trouble.
And, of course, there were a lot of meetings with Clinton.
art bell
Yeah, but not legal trouble.
christopher ruddy
I mean, it would show that clearly he had gone way out of his way for this young lady, and the questions would be why.
art bell
Okay, but although I'll play the devil's advocate, the answer to that is, well, yeah, Clinton had a kind of a relationship with her.
unidentified
Everybody denies it was sex, so we're not going to prove that.
He had kind of a thing, and she definitely had a thing for him.
art bell
So let's imagine that.
Let's imagine they exchanged gifts.
unidentified
Let's imagine that, well, you can imagine all kinds of things.
art bell
You can imagine sex if you want to.
unidentified
I don't care.
art bell
But what I'm saying is here, so far, until you get some more named perjury or somebody asking somebody to lie, unless you've got proof of that, you're whistling in the wind.
christopher ruddy
Well, I don't.
Maybe you are, but the problem is that you have 20 hours of her on tape, so it's going to be hard for her to change her story and to say to a jury that she just embellished for 20 hours.
art bell
Yeah, but if I was a president's lawyer, if I was a president's lawyer, I'd say, come on, listen to the whole tape, especially the part where she says she embellishes.
Now you can disregard this entire thing.
christopher ruddy
Well, yeah, you can, but then you have the problem of, according to the New York Times, Betty Curry, the president's own secretary, has cooperated with Star and said that he instructed her and coached her what to say to investigators.
That is criminal.
Well, Roger, that is a criminal investigation.
art bell
Could be a problem.
christopher ruddy
So you have a, it's not just one incident, Art.
I agree with you that each one of those, when you look at them, but it's the overall pattern.
And if they can prove that there's several lies, for example, on the sexual relations.
art bell
Yeah, but you're still not there.
I mean, the line, if it doesn't fit, you must acquit, works just fine here.
christopher ruddy
Well, again, I don't know, not being a lawyer, but from what I understand, if you can show enough of a pattern of events, the statutes are fairly broad enough that a jury has a lot of leeway.
Now, whether Starr would do that and actually bring indictments against these people is another question.
art bell
Well, there's not two sides given to a grand jury.
Now, sure, Starr can go in there and probably, if he does his best, persuade a jury with a mountain of the kind of evidence you've been talking about tonight that they ought to bring an indictment.
You might get that done because you don't have both sides, but try taking that into a court and maybe you're dead.
christopher ruddy
Well, I don't know if you would be dead there.
I don't think that this is going to happen.
I don't think it's going to happen because I don't think Starr is a very tough prosecutor.
And when this first broke, if you recall, I was on your program, and I basically said anybody that thinks this is going to lead to Clinton's resignation or a quick resolution of this because Starr is at the helm, they don't bet the ranch, don't bet the farm.
And sure enough, everything I said on those opening programs has come true.
And I think one of the reasons you have people like Trent Lott yelling about Starr is that they know here's a guy that was given jurisdiction over Travelgate, over FileGate.
He took, you know, and again, go back to Vince Foster, he took three years in a case that should have taken a week.
art bell
Trent Lott basically said to him, look, do your business or get off the pot.
Right, right.
christopher ruddy
And that is completely, again, the senators know.
They know Starr drags things out.
Here's a guy that's making millions Of dollars a year at his private practice, representing interests against the Clintons.
He's represented interest for them, including the Chinese government.
He was on their payroll for a while.
art bell
Well, he tried to quit once.
christopher ruddy
Oh, yeah.
He even tried to quit once, and he, I mean, let's remember those circumstances.
He says he's quitting, and then everybody complains about how he did it and how inappropriate it was.
unidentified
He did it on a holiday through the university.
christopher ruddy
He didn't even tell his own deputies.
So then he comes out and he gives a press conference and he says, well, actually, I'm going to stay because I never consulted with my own deputies on the status of my own investigation.
And I think I really ought to stay.
I mean, those literally were his words.
So this is a guy who says that he's devoted to this case, and then he went through the embarrassing situation a couple of months ago of having, well, of having, no, the quitting took place in, what was it, early 96?
art bell
That's right.
christopher ruddy
But then he went through the embarrassing situation a few months ago where he had to reimburse the government for his apartment in Little Rock because he wasn't there.
The maximum he was there in a whole year period was no more than three days a month.
That's his main office?
art bell
Yeah, all I was driving at was that if he's motivated to drag out the investigation and stay where he is, to make all the money, the millions, whatever, then why did he try to quit, only under pressure returning?
Got any insight?
unidentified
Well, I think he was coming under a lot of criticism at that point.
art bell
Well, how about now?
Well, I mean, that was nothing compared to this.
unidentified
Yeah, but now it would look really cowardly if he ran.
art bell
I see.
christopher ruddy
There was sort of a quiet criticism in Washington from both the right and the left, Carville on one side, and then there started to be some murmurings in Congress at that time.
That was not - I mean, this was not the center of discussion every Saturday or Sunday during all the talk shows when he did resign.
But I guess he felt that the pressure had gotten enough and that he wanted to take a break.
And then when he saw it was a firestorm of controversy when he resigned, he decided to stick it out.
Now, who knows what he's going to do, but I think it would be a little bit difficult for him to resign.
However, I think it would be a good thing if he did.
I think it would be good to get somebody who has a clean slate, who's known as being impartial, who doesn't have as much baggage.
This guy has made so many faulty judgments.
art bell
Another special prosecutor?
christopher ruddy
Well, why not?
art bell
Or does he quit and turn his evidence over to some sort of congressional committee?
christopher ruddy
Well, he would literally have to close his investigation down.
The grand juries would all have to issue reports.
I don't know if he could do that at this point.
What he would, because there are several cases ongoing and the Arkansas case, the Tucker thing cooperation period is ongoing.
What he would do is go back to the court and have a successor independent counsel appointed.
And that's been done before with different independent counsels.
And that would not be that unusual.
So he could do that, and there wouldn't be any problem.
unidentified
And the new independent counsel could be up and running.
christopher ruddy
There's no reason.
He was the Whitewater independent counsel.
And we've already discussed in this program, he never bothered, apparently, according to McDougal, even looking at connections between Foster and Whitewater.
art bell
That's crazy.
christopher ruddy
And you pointed out you couldn't believe that.
Well, we have all the documents, for example, from the Fisk investigation.
And McDougal wasn't even interviewed for the Fisk investigation by the FBI.
That's really weird.
And none of the colleagues of Foster were interviewed and questioned about Foster's connection with David Hale and Madison guarantee for that investigation.
art bell
All right.
Hey, Chris, did you ever see all the president's men?
I bet you did or read the book or probably both of them.
christopher ruddy
Both, yeah.
art bell
Of course.
You remember during the course of that investigation that the editor of the Washington Post was under intense pressure to stop this whole thing.
Intense pressure.
The Post, in the middle of it anyway, or when it was getting started to the middle, was getting slam-dunked again and again and again and again, under a lot of pressure.
Has your newspaper come under the same kind of pressure from this administration?
christopher ruddy
Well, and just like during the Watergate period, the Post came under a lot of pressure from other press.
The American Review has been constantly attacked.
unidentified
Richard Mellon Scaith, the publisher of my paper, comes under frequent attack.
christopher ruddy
It's as if somebody's very disturbed that there's one newspaper in the country that's taking a divergent view here on all of this.
So yeah, I mean, there is a parallel.
But no one seems to prove us wrong on anything.
art bell
How about you?
You've been audited lately?
christopher ruddy
Well, the Western Journalism Center and Joe Farah, they were audited.
It was a very clear political audit.
Mike McCurry, this is up at my website at ruddynews.com, told the Washington Post that essentially I was the enemy number one.
This is in January when we were breaking the Brown story.
art bell
I know, I remember that.
Enemy number one of the White House.
christopher ruddy
Yeah, and they said that he clearly said he asked to identify a reporter they hated the most, that it was me.
One clearest sign, and Howard Kurtz of the Washington Post called me up and he said, I never heard in all the time I've covered Washington, this White House or any White House actually named someone like it.
A reporter being singled out.
The White House for years have been encouraging the press to do stories on people they don't like.
And I'm one of them, my publisher, the newspaper, the Western Journalism Center.
And they turned over a congressional document, a 331-page document, the Communication Stream of Conspiracy Commerce.
And it was all about Vince Foster.
They're very concerned about the Vince Foster case.
art bell
All right, listen, my friend, we're out of time.
We're utterly out of time.
So it's good to have you on the radio every now and then so the rest of America knows that you are still breathing.
christopher ruddy
Well, I appreciate that.
art bell
You are still breathing, right?
christopher ruddy
I hope so.
And I think that the Vince Foster case is going to be the next it's going to continue to be.
art bell
All right, my friend.
Listen, we've got to scoot.
Thank you very much for the update, and we'll have you on again.
christopher ruddy
All right, you take care.
art bell
All right.
From the Tribune Review in Pittsburgh, that's Chris Ruddy.
Not Rich KSTV.
unidentified
For everything to be gotten in, you take a long way home.
You take a long way home.
When you're up one day, it's so unbelievable.
Oh, and forget I'm a beautiful, beautiful.
If you're a white kid to think you're new, you can't have a deal.
Oh, and forget I'm a beautiful, beautiful.
With an old way home.

702-727-1222.
Now, here again, Izzark.
art bell
Once again, here I am.
And hey, this is the kickoff night, everybody, for our guest credibility poll.
As suggested by a caller last week, we should have a guest credibility poll on the website.
Well, we've got it.
You can only vote once.
It'll throw your computer a cookie.
That's a little thing that ensures that you only vote once.
But aside from that, you can go up to my website, and you've got, this is going to be a great night for it, too.
We've got Stephen Gibbs on, who makes time machines.
And it's not a fly-by-night business by any means.
He's been making them for years.
I interviewed him, what was it?
Must have been a year ago, more, maybe.
And now I've got another reason to interview him.
Somebody called last week and said he got his time machine, and he discussed its use.
Earlier today, I heard from a fellow who has used Stephen Gibbs' time machine with success, he claims.
And so Stephen is going to be a wonderful first use kind of guest for our credibility plus.
unidentified
Should be fun.
art bell
Now, I ask that you not judge Stephen on his vocabulary.
Stephen's a farm boy from Nebraska.
He'll tell you that himself here in a minute.
In fact, we'll ask him about his background.
But rather, judge him on what he says about his machine, its workings, and all the rest of it.
As you know, I am fascinated beyond belief with time travel.
I believe time travel is possible.
And I believe that based on guests that I've had that are obviously of very high credibility rating, like Michio Kaku, theoretical professor of physics, one of the best in the country.
And he certainly thinks it's going to be possible.
Going to take a lot of power, though, he says.
So in a moment, we enter the realm of the very unusual.
Like we don't always do that anyway, huh?
All right, look, tonight is a sale night.
Once a year, one time every year, the Z-Crane company has a $1 off sale on the select attendant.
It was actually developed originally by the U.S. military as a direction finder.
And I guess one day somebody said, oh my God, look what it does for broadcast radio.
Anyway, it's round, about the size of a frisbee or something.
Thicker, obviously.
And probably by 200 or 300% more.
At night, it will stop 90% of the fading, you know, fading in and out of long-distance stations you're trying to listen to.
During the day, it will increase coverage out to about 150 miles for the Big 50 KW kaboomers.
I'll tell you how good the Select Attenna is.
Here during the day, I can barely, barely hear a Los Angeles on the radio.
Just can barely tell it's there down in the static.
And you put a select antenna next to the radio, tune it to the frequency that you're listening to, and it pops out of the noise and becomes utterly and completely listenable.
Now, that's how much difference there is.
And if you doubt about it, it's static.
It's absolutely amazing.
Once a year, no wires, no batteries, none of that blooney.
It inductively couples the signal to your radio.
It normally sells today, or I don't know, depending on your time zone, whatever, in the morning.
Five cents, one day only.
And by the way, free shipping and handling.
Call Bob Crane in the morning at 1-800-522-8863.
1-800-522-8863.
The amazing C. Crane Company.
But the fact.
All right.
Now, here is a very, very unusual guy.
I mean, there is no question about it.
Stephen Gibbs is a very unusual guy.
Stephen, welcome to the program.
steve gibbs
Oh, hello.
art bell
Hi.
Any idea where that might be coming from?
unidentified
Might be some UFOs.
art bell
Do you have a portable phone or something?
steve gibbs
No, no, I, um...
art bell
I mean, is it...
steve gibbs
Yeah.
Let me turn it off.
art bell
Okay.
steve gibbs
Does that help?
art bell
No, it didn't make any difference.
steve gibbs
It could be the fact that I had to mention.
art bell
I'll tell you what.
Move your phone a little bit.
Can you do that?
steve gibbs
Yeah.
art bell
Just move it.
Something's affecting that phone.
steve gibbs
I got a coffee pot gone, but I don't know if that would be what would interfere with it.
art bell
It's just got hum on it.
You don't have one of your machines running, do you?
steve gibbs
No, no.
Oh, really?
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
There, it's almost gone.
Almost gone.
Wherever you are.
Stop there.
unidentified
Have a curtain.
art bell
All right.
Now it's coming back.
Steve?
Nebraska.
What do you do in Nebraska?
steve gibbs
Well, that's pretty much what I'm doing now.
It's, you know, I'm building the selling these machines, and then I kind of help my mother out around the farm.
You know, when I'm not busy doing that.
art bell
So that's what I said.
You grew up on a farm, right?
steve gibbs
Yeah, yeah.
art bell
You're where you've always been?
steve gibbs
Yeah, cows and chickens.
art bell
Cows and chickens.
Were you born there?
steve gibbs
At childbirth, and so I basically don't know who my real parents are, which is really a mystery.
art bell
Not if you want to use one of your machines.
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
I'm sure you've considered that.
Some interest.
A farm boy, born, raised, adopted, I guess, and then raised on a farm, chickens, cows, the whole thing, suddenly claims to be able to build a time machine.
Now, how do you get from the cows and the chickens to a time machine?
That's some interest to me.
steve gibbs
Well, it sort of kind of like patched me into the universal consciousness, which I prefer to the creator.
And once you get patched into that, then the information is just added to you.
art bell
When I first had you on, you told me you had a time travel catalog, and I thought, how cool.
And it is.
I mean, to have a time travel catalog, even if you're not going to get a machine on your coffee table, I thought it'd be really cool.
I mean, what did you get for a time travel catalog last time you were on?
steve gibbs
Oh, God.
I can't even number it.
Oh, geez, it must have been over $3,000.
art bell
$3,000.
You offer this time travel catalog for what?
steve gibbs
A dollar still.
art bell
$1.
It is still $1.
So inflation has not hit time at all.
All right.
I took, in this time travel catalog, you, of course, go into a great explanation about what it is, blah, blah, blah.
But you also have a drawing.
I would call it a drawing.
It's not exactly a schematic.
It's more of a drawing of this purge painter.
steve gibbs
Yeah, yeah.
I would have had a photocopy done of the machine, but that would splurt.
art bell
Do you have any actual good photographs of your machine, by the way?
steve gibbs
Yes, I do.
art bell
I'm just going to make the audience aware of that shortly.
You are indeed going to be sending me one.
steve gibbs
Yeah, and should anything happen to you, well, our bill isn't going to be around too much longer.
art bell
Funny.
All right.
Now, I want to know some about your machine, first of all.
I mean, I'm looking at the drawing, and by the way, folks, you can see it on the website.
I've put the drawing up on the website.
the front of the machine shows three circles uh...
to which they dial switches one light which says witness and uh...
uh...
steve gibbs
that is the uh...
I can tell you what everything is.
Well, the circle with nothing in it, that's the witness well.
art bell
It's the what?
steve gibbs
That's the witness.
See the witness below the circle?
art bell
Yes.
steve gibbs
Yeah, that's the indication.
The witness is the indicates that the witness is above where it's written, you know, in the circle.
art bell
What does witness mean?
steve gibbs
Witness well is the thing or in order to do a broadcast treatment.
Let's say, for example, the person that needs to be treated lives, you know, like six miles away from.
art bell
Oh, this is for health reasons.
steve gibbs
Yeah, yeah.
art bell
I see.
So you would put a photograph or a hank of hair or something.
steve gibbs
Yeah, so I have had reports of people moving through time, even just by putting their witness in my witness well.
art bell
All right, you then have three switches.
What are these three switches?
steve gibbs
Okay, the top switch is a red switch, and that activates the power, which allows the electromagnet to function the way it does.
And then the middle switch activates the multi-dimensional stabilizer.
art bell
Oh, slow up.
You're going much too fast.
The top switch activates the power.
How much power does this unit use?
Do you plug it into the wall?
Does it operate in batteries?
steve gibbs
Yeah, it utilizes the, you know, approximately, yeah, it plugs right into your wall outlet, so it takes approximately 115 volts.
art bell
115 volts?
steve gibbs
Yeah, but by the time it gets out to the electromagnet, it's stepped up to, I think, around 200 volts.
art bell
200 volts.
Wow.
So that gets to be a very serious electromagnet.
There's no question about that.
All right, so the top switch applies the power to the electromagnet.
steve gibbs
Yeah, yeah.
art bell
All right, the middle switch does what?
steve gibbs
That is the multi-dimensional stabilizer.
art bell
What in the hell is that?
steve gibbs
Well, it was an idea that was given to me by a scientist who used to live up in Davenport, Iowa.
And it was basically designed to stabilize the dimensional harmonics that are transmitted out of the electromagnet.
See what you have is a unit itself produces a multi-dimensional tachyon sine wave.
art bell
Really?
steve gibbs
And when the dimensional stabilizer is in the off position, the wave becomes really rigid.
art bell
A multi-dimensional tachyon sine wave.
Holy smokes, what's that?
steve gibbs
It's just a sine wave that locks onto all the dimensions.
art bell
Okay, and so that center switch stabilizes that?
steve gibbs
Yeah, yeah.
Some people, I don't know what it is, but some people get better results when the switch is in the off mode than in the on mode.
Now, there is really an erratic breakup in the wave when it's in the off mode.
But when you have an oscilloscope hooked up to the machine and the multi-dimensional stabilizer is activated, it produces a number of dips in the sine wave itself, and each dip represents a harmonic.
art bell
Okay, all right, now that makes sense.
You know an awful lot of electronics for a farm boy.
Where did you get this design originally, before we continue here?
steve gibbs
Well, it was given to me by a time traveler is originally where it origined from, or where it came from.
art bell
All right.
A time traveler.
Yeah.
You just said, here's a machine.
Welcome to the world of time travel or what?
steve gibbs
Well, he came from Earth's future.
He has a real mysterious origin.
I Don't dare mention his name on the air because, well, I don't know.
His counterpart could be listening.
He has a double that is on the verge of succeeding in traveling through time and repeating the same events that he repeated at an earlier stage.
And I know where his counterpart is living at right now.
But the last I've heard, the guy who sent me this schematic is now living somewhere in Maine.
art bell
In Maine?
steve gibbs
Yeah.
art bell
In a different time or.
steve gibbs
Who knows?
I don't know.
The guy sort of scares me because nobody knows where the guy came from.
I mean, where he lives.
He appears from out of nowhere.
He contacts people from out of nowhere.
And then he just disappears into thin air.
art bell
All right.
You've got a third switch at the bottom.
Yeah.
steve gibbs
That is the clear switch.
art bell
Clear?
steve gibbs
Yeah.
And it's designed to clear the toxic radiations from out of the witness well, should there be any present.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
Now, there are two dials, one at the top, one at the bottom.
What's the top one?
steve gibbs
Okay, those are basically tuning dials for setting your time travel coordinates or for setting up your location rates in reference to healing.
art bell
Well, let's stick with time.
With time, how would you operate the dials?
steve gibbs
I mean, what Okay, first of all, we place the time coils around our head, which would be basically a set of phone cords, which is designed to feed the third eye or the spiritual energy through the third eye region into the unit.
Okay, after these time coils are positioned around your forehead over the third eye region, you then start operating, well you then start turning the top dial while stoking the rubbing plate in a clockwise or counterclockwise rotation using your first yeah the rubbing plate is the second half of the machine down below the dials and the switches.
art bell
Yeah, that's correct.
So you've got these phone cords wrapped around your head, which are coils, in fact, and plug into the machine.
And so you've got these around your head, and now you're rubbing this plate in a counterclockwise or clockwise position.
What's the difference?
steve gibbs
It don't matter.
The current flows in both directions, so it doesn't matter.
art bell
Oh, I see.
steve gibbs
Yeah, because this is not winding underneath that.
art bell
I was thinking clockwise might send you forward and counterclockwise might send you back.
steve gibbs
Well, who knows?
It might be worth a try.
art bell
All right, anyway, so you start rubbing this rubbing plate.
steve gibbs
Yeah.
art bell
And then what?
steve gibbs
Okay, then while you're tearing the dials and stroking the rubbing plate, you concentrate on the time period you want to go to.
Let's say you wanted to go to like May 5th, 2000, which is supposed to be the date of that cataclysm.
art bell
Wouldn't it be a bad idea to go to a cataclysmic day?
steve gibbs
I don't know.
It just popped into my head for some reason.
art bell
No, I understand that.
I mean, but that is a day when people say everything could suddenly stop and everybody could be dead.
steve gibbs
Yeah, I know.
art bell
So that might be a...
steve gibbs
Yeah, you'd have to get out your skis or something like that.
art bell
Anyway, so you start thinking about where you want to go.
The second dial below, you haven't told me what that does.
steve gibbs
Well, see, they're both used for tuning in into the year that you want to go to.
In other words, you concentrate on the question, like, what are the rates that will transport me to, say, such and such a date in the year 2000?
And then as soon as your fingers stick on that rubbing plate, then that indicates a dial setting.
Then you go to the second dial underneath that and do the same thing.
art bell
Oh, I see.
So in other words, you're concentrating on when you want to go, and you're rubbing, and you're turning the dial, and when your finger stops, you know you've reached the right place.
steve gibbs
Yeah, yeah, that's correct.
art bell
And then you have to, then you repeat the process with the other dial.
steve gibbs
Yeah, yeah.
And once you get that stick, the energy from your soul is fed right through the third eye region on into the unit, where it's stepped up to the zero vector.
art bell
Okay.
steve gibbs
Maybe I'm jumping too fast there.
art bell
Well, you might be.
You might be.
All right.
I'll tell you what.
We're coming to a break, so let's pick up on that point right after the break.
All right?
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
All right.
Hold it right where you are.
And by the way, don't forget to check out that photograph on my website, the one that says Art wants to know who this girl is.
See if you can figure out who she is for me.
From the high desert, this is Coast to Coast AF.
unidentified
I'm Art Bell.
Pretty woman, walking down the street.
Pretty woman.
The kind I like to meet.
Pretty woman.
I don't believe you if you look the truth.
No one could look as good as you.
Mercy.

art bell
It certainly is.
Top of the morning to you, morning now in most time zones.
My guest is the wild man of the prairie, Stephen Gibbs.
He produces, he makes, constructs time machines.
No kidding, folks.
I really mean no kidding.
And we'll get the rest of the description of the machine's operation here in a moment.
I've been telling you about an amazing new product that continues to blow me away by the day and the industry, I might add, the Snappy Video Snapshot from Play Incorporated.
What it does is take moving video and converts it to a still photograph, a computer photograph of any format you can imagine or you could ever possibly want.
And this video can come from a camcorder, a TV, or a VCR.
Now, normally you would expect, well, you have to put a card in the computer or something.
Ah, but not with Snappy.
They were very wise the way they built it.
They built it so it plugs right into the parallel port of your computer.
Because most people don't want to take their computer apart.
And so you don't have to.
It plugs in where your printer plugs in.
Snappy has won 25 major awards so far for what they do.
Nothing wins those kinds of awards.
Nothing has a longevity in the computer industry that Snappy has had and will continue to have because it is so stunning.
New Media Magazine said Snappy quote compares to a $20,000 digital camera.
Snappy is incredible.
You've got to see it to believe it.
It is the perfect gift for anybody with a PC or yourself if you have one.
If you'd like to see them on the web before you buy, they're at www.playplay.com or simply go to your favorite computer store and grab a snappy at the advertised price, which, by the way, should only be $99.
Well, that's a lot of technology for $99.

art bell
A lot of stuff in there, of course, that's not on here, and that's a good reason to get it.
All right, once again, Stephen Gibbs, wild man from the prairie.
All right, let's see.
Where were we?
Time coils wrapped around.
We've rubbed the rubbing plate in one direction or the other, set the dials.
Then there is the electromagnet.
Now, you're applying voltage.
This is an external electromagnet, right?
steve gibbs
Yeah.
art bell
And you're applying 117 volts, or actually more, I guess.
steve gibbs
Well, yeah, the dials step it up a little bit.
art bell
Yeah, to this electromagnet.
And that will produce a hell of a magnetic field.
There's no question about it.
A serious magnetic field.
steve gibbs
Yeah, it's an 8-meter electromagnetic field.
art bell
Is it really?
steve gibbs
Yeah.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
Remarkable.
It's a steel pore, and then it's what have you wrapped it with?
steve gibbs
I use 21-gauge magnet wire.
unidentified
Of course, any type of gauge would probably work, but that's what I use on it.
art bell
Does that thing heat up, by the way?
steve gibbs
Yeah, after about a space of 12 minutes, which is about the maximum amount of time you want to leave it operating.
Right.
Yeah, the electromagnet starts heating up, and then you've got to let things cool down.
art bell
That would figure.
All right, so here we are with our time coils around our forehead, rubbing plate work done, dials are set.
Then what about the electromagnet?
Where does that go?
steve gibbs
Okay, once everything has been tuned and set, you then activate the power switch.
art bell
Up top.
steve gibbs
Yeah, yeah, the red power switch.
art bell
Yes.
steve gibbs
And then there are a couple of bar magnets that come with the unit.
Now this is something that is not included in my catalog, but and these bar magnets are to help to determine the polarities on the open end of the electromagnet so that you only receive the north polarized field of it.
art bell
I've got you.
So you figure out with the bar magnets, that makes sense, which is north.
steve gibbs
Yeah.
art bell
And it would depend.
In other words, you could probably plug it in either way.
steve gibbs
Yeah, yeah.
Well.
art bell
Actually, you know, Stephen, I just happened to think that you could factory set this by color coding, determining which is north before you send this out and simply color coding the two plugs.
Do you ever think about that?
steve gibbs
Yeah, I do, but it always seems like, yeah, I know what you're talking about, but it's easier for me if I just put one color one plug red and the other one black, and then if they don't...
Then they can always reverse the connection.
art bell
People will always get things mixed up.
It's certainly true.
All right, so anyway, you determine which is the strong North Field.
Then what?
steve gibbs
Okay, then you then place the open end of the electromagnet over your stomach chakra, which would be, well, I guess right over your pelly button.
art bell
So it's just radiating the hell out of you at that point.
steve gibbs
Yeah, yeah.
And a lot of scientists have called me up stating, you know, to avoid the stomach region because it can zap you into a hell region.
But from my experience, the scientists say that it's a tremendous amount of white light energy that it neutralizes all negative.
art bell
Alright, but I mean, why would a scientist say that it would send you to hell.
A scientist, in all likelihood, would go, hell, oh, come on.
steve gibbs
Yeah, well, these were, I think, connected with the fallen angels spoken of in scriptures.
But that's another story.
art bell
Okay.
All right, so that.
So now you've got the North Field radiating electromagnetic energy into your belly button.
steve gibbs
Yeah.
art bell
Like crazy.
You've got the timecoil around your head.
You've determined where you want to go.
And I assume at the moment that you turn the switch on.
steve gibbs
Yeah, yeah.
After everything's positioned, you then activate the switch for the space of three minutes.
And if you're positioned over a grid point and the grid point is activated, you'll go physically.
There will be a fla- what will happen is there will be a flash of white light.
art bell
I was going to ask, what would I see if I was standing there watching you do all this and all of a sudden it activated?
I'd see a flash of white light.
steve gibbs
Yeah, you'd see a flash of white light and the next thing you know, I'd be gone.
art bell
Just gone.
Gone.
steve gibbs
Yeah, yeah.
Now, sometimes there ain't no time delay effect.
Sometimes you'll just be seen flickering out and then you'll come right back.
Whereas, so in other words, that person, to the observer, that person will look like, you know, you're only gone for maybe a split second, but the person who went through time may have been gone for like a day or two.
art bell
Oh, I understand.
Just like in Contact, the movie.
steve gibbs
Yeah.
art bell
They didn't think she'd been gone at all.
In fact, they had video of her vehicle falling through that machine directly with not even a pause in the middle, and yet she was gone for, I think it was 18 hours.
steve gibbs
Yeah, I saw that movie.
art bell
Oh, that was great.
steve gibbs
That was an awesome movie.
art bell
It was an awesome movie.
I agree with you.
Anyway, how long ago, Stephen, did you build your first time machine?
steve gibbs
Well, I guess my first early time machines, this is something I've never even talked about yet, was back in, oh, must have been in 82 or 83.
art bell
Wow.
steve gibbs
And I discovered a way of converting a radio, an ordinary radio, into a time machine.
art bell
It could not nearly have been as effective as what you've got here.
steve gibbs
No, since there was a lot of impurities in it, I got really a whiplash effect when it teleported.
art bell
Yes.
All right.
So that's a long, you've been doing this a long time.
That's well over a decade.
steve gibbs
Yeah.
art bell
Now, a lot of people are sitting out there right now saying, baloney.
Baloney.
This thing isn't sending anybody anywhere.
I'm not believing this for a second.
Now, you have some evidence, don't you, of quite a number of people who have used your machine.
steve gibbs
Yeah.
art bell
And the best thing we can do, now I know that you could talk about other types of travel, but the best thing we can do is talk about incidents of actual physical time travel.
steve gibbs
Yeah.
art bell
Give me an example.
steve gibbs
Well, I sold a unit to a man down in Australia.
Yes.
I don't know if this makes a really good example or not, but he had bought something like, oh, must have been 20 or 30 crystals from me.
And now, there was an editor of this one magazine.
I'm not going to mention the name because that could get me into a lawsuit.
But anyhow, he sent, he purchased one of my machines, this man in Australia.
And he called this guy up who is the editor of this one UFO magazine and told him, you know, I really got something here.
You know, I got one of Gibbs's time machines, and I've been traveling, I've been getting some really serious time warps.
And he says, well, gee, whiz, I'd like to see that thing in person.
And so he, so this guy over in Australia sets a date where they can meet each other in person.
And but anyhow, the other man who was over in England, no, wait, no, he was over in Australia, too, where the other man was positioned.
He said, well, let's arrange a date, you know, three or four weeks from now.
We'll try to meet each other.
But he says, you'll have to call me up to let me know where I can meet you.
art bell
No, no, no, wait a minute.
Let me understand.
Meaning, these, you've got two guys.
One's got a machine.
steve gibbs
Yeah.
art bell
They decide to test it.
And the second guy says, all right, we'll meet three weeks in the future.
Is that about right?
steve gibbs
Yeah, two or three weeks.
In other words, you know, the editor did not, you know, it had nothing to do with, you know, him going through time, you know.
You know, they were just going to meet each other, you know, two or three weeks later in the future.
art bell
All right.
steve gibbs
And anyhow, so he waited a couple of weeks to see if, and no phone call came from this man who was working with one of my machines.
art bell
Yes.
steve gibbs
And anyhow, he waited another couple of weeks and he called three or four times and still no answer from him.
And so he decided to send a few of his friends up there to investigate as to what has happened to this person.
art bell
Obviously.
steve gibbs
And lo and behold, he waited a week or two and his friends also disappeared into thin air.
art bell
The ones that he had sent over to check on the guy.
unidentified
Yeah.
steve gibbs
And I was talking with another person, you know, if he had set up some sort of a vortex or doorway when they went over to investigate the matter, they might have got transported themselves.
art bell
Well, here is a critically, actually several critically important questions.
Number one, when you launch Yourself into the future or the past with this machine.
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
I presume you have, I mean, you vanish in a virtual light, white flash.
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
The machine is still running.
It's not like you've got time to reach down and turn it off.
steve gibbs
Well, if you program the machine to go with you, the machine will go with you.
But if you don't, then the, you know, like I was mentioning before, you know, part of the machine will stay behind.
art bell
Well, I was wondering if it might be possible that this fellow in Australia left the machine running and these other poor saps walked in and away they went.
steve gibbs
Yeah, Presto changed it.
art bell
Is that what you think might have occurred?
steve gibbs
Yeah, yeah, that's probably a good idea.
Now, however, it could have been, gosh, it could have been any number of other things, too.
But what was the strangest thing about this man who disappeared, the letters he sent were postmarked in the future.
Or should I say in the past?
Because, well, you know, normally it takes a letter from Australia about around five to seven days to get to the United States.
unidentified
Yeah.
steve gibbs
Well, when I get the letter, it was postmarked the same date that was sent out.
art bell
The postmark on the letter, the Australian postmark, was the same day?
steve gibbs
Yeah, that he sent it out.
I've had that happen to me more than once with people.
art bell
I don't understand why that wouldn't be.
In other words, if I was in Australia and I sent you a letter.
steve gibbs
Yeah.
art bell
On, let's say, March 9th.
steve gibbs
Yeah.
art bell
They would postmark it March 9th.
steve gibbs
Yeah, the day I would receive it.
But the most I can make out is the guy was going into Right, let's see.
Yeah, he was going into the...
Let's see.
He'd have to go into the future, wouldn't he?
I think so.
I think he went into the future.
No, he went into the past and sent it off a week behind so that when I got it, it'd be the same date that it was postmarked.
art bell
You're saying you received the letter on the day you received the letter is the day it was postmarked.
steve gibbs
Yeah.
art bell
Oh, that's impossible.
steve gibbs
Well, yeah, that's what a lot of people have said, but it happened.
art bell
All right.
Now, also, earlier today on the phone, you told me that some kind of officials, FBI, NSA, CIA, I don't know who they were, recently came to see you trying to catch you for fraud.
steve gibbs
Yeah, yeah, that's correct.
art bell
Now, do you know which eight, was it FBI?
steve gibbs
Well, I kind of have a hunch they were probably FBI, but yeah, they really got a dose of their own medicine when they got one of my machines.
art bell
This is a cool story.
Now, did you give them, were you forced to give them a machine or did they confiscate it?
steve gibbs
No, no, they asked me for a machine.
They wanted to show Warner Brothers as to what type of research I was doing.
They were thinking, they had convinced me and a bunch of other of my friends who were with me that they needed the machine to help them make a motion picture.
art bell
I see.
So they bought it?
steve gibbs
No, they didn't buy it.
I just gave it to them.
art bell
You did this on spec, thinking, oh, there's a movie in this.
steve gibbs
Yeah, yeah.
art bell
All right, so they took your machine to California, was it?
steve gibbs
Yeah, yeah, Los Angeles.
art bell
And what happened to them?
steve gibbs
Well, after they started examining it for a while, they gave me a call, and he had a scientist who was really very much interested in experimenting with the device, or he knew a scientist.
And I warned him over the telephone, you know, don't activate it over in Los Angeles, otherwise you're going to go poof.
But, you know, I was kind of toying with him a little bit, because I figured if these people were going to get me for fraud, you know, what better way than to send them off to another time period?
unidentified
And so they got what was coming to me.
steve gibbs
And not only that, but they strangely disappeared right into thin air shortly after I told them not to mess with it, you know, giving them the apple, you know.
art bell
Now, how do you know they're gone?
steve gibbs
Because I had a friend of mine over in Omaha try to contact them.
And she knew some friends over in Los Angeles, and they said they can't locate them anywhere.
And so we kind of figured they went out to a grid site and they went.
art bell
Bye-bye.
steve gibbs
Yeah.
art bell
So they're not going to be messing with you.
steve gibbs
Yeah, that's right.
It's a kind of a happy ending to a sad beginning.
art bell
How many people, Stephen, have purchased machines from you?
unidentified
Rough rough.
steve gibbs
Well, since 1986, I would say well over, oh, God.
I would say well over three or four hundred machines.
art bell
Three or four hundred.
And you have personally hand-constructed each one of these.
steve gibbs
Yes, that's correct.
art bell
How have your sales mainly come, aside from the time you were on my program, was it word of mouth?
Or do you advertise time travel catalogs somewhere?
Or how does this come?
steve gibbs
It was kind of strange.
A friend of mine in Omaha kind of mentioned about Art Bell.
She said, you've got to get on the Art Bell show.
art bell
I know, but you were selling these long before you were on the Art Bell program.
steve gibbs
Yeah, and then shortly afterwards, I got a phone call from you.
art bell
Well, you probably emailed me or something.
steve gibbs
No.
unidentified
No?
steve gibbs
No, it was a real strange situation.
art bell
I can't even remember how I found out about your first time, to be honest with you.
steve gibbs
Well, you know, those are...
art bell
Maybe.
But obviously, you were producing these for at least a decade before I had you on the air.
Maybe more.
So how were you getting the word out then?
steve gibbs
Oh, I was basically advertising through different sources.
There was a company up in Idaho that was distributing, well, he's still distributing my information.
I don't want to say who it is for certain, as that could also get me into trouble.
And he was saying to me one day, you know, you know, it'd be a great idea if you'd start your own business in this area by putting ads in different magazines.
And so I started things up, and it finally took off.
art bell
So you put ads in magazines?
steve gibbs
Yeah, yeah.
Like Nexus, Fate, and Alternate Perceptions.
unidentified
I see.
art bell
Is your device UL approved?
unidentified
Uh, yeah, it's, uh...
Yeah, it's, uh, yeah, it's...
art bell
Oh, God, Steven.
You know, do you know what the law is?
And you get a little sticker there on the back that says UL approved, or it's on the cord a lot of times when you bicep through.
Your device is not necessarily UL approved.
steve gibbs
Yeah, no, not necessarily.
unidentified
No.
art bell
Oh, Stephen, you're so strange.
But nevertheless, you claim that this, it works.
If you want to travel in time, one of these will, in fact, take you through time, right?
steve gibbs
Oh, yes, yes.
art bell
Is there any limit to how far back or how far forward you can go?
steve gibbs
Well, I think that depends a little bit on the type of grid point that's used.
Some grids don't put out very much power, and those type of grids can only move you somewhat like in days.
In days.
art bell
Okay, now grids are points on the Earth that have a specific magnetic anomaly to them, correct?
steve gibbs
Yeah, yeah, that's correct.
Yeah, there exists, to my knowledge, something like three different types of grid points.
The positive grids will send you into Earth's future.
art bell
Right.
steve gibbs
Negative grids will send you into Earth's past.
And zero grids will send you into present parallel universes.
unidentified
Excellent.
art bell
All right, Stephen, hold on.
We're going to take a break here at the top of the hour.
And yes, we will.
You can go take a look at the sketch on the website.
It's only one page of his time travel catalog.
We'll tell you how to get Stephen's time travel catalog.
Now, Stephen is sending me a time machine.
And I'm going to have to think very hard about when I want to go.
I've been waiting for this opportunity.
unidentified
This is Coast to Coast A.M. If you have a fax for Art Bell in the Kingdom of Nye, send it to him at area code 702-727-8499.
702-727-8499.
Please limit your faxes to one or two pages.
This is Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell.
Now, here again is Art Bell.
art bell
Once again, here I am.
Stephen Gibbs is my guest right now.
Now, Stephen builds time machines.
Stephen is out in the prairie lands of Nebraska, and he's a farm boy.
But long ago, somebody gave him plans for a time machine.
And by the way, I had no idea.
Stephen has a website.
I've just got a facts from his webmaster.
I had no idea that he had a website.
It is http: forward slash forward slash home in reach.
That's I-N-R-E-A-C-H dot com forward slash D as in dog, O as in ocean, V as in Victor, forward slash TT.htm.
And according to his webmaster, his catalog is on his website along with the same diagram that I've got up on my website.
Now, I had no idea Stephen had a website.
We'll get back to Stephen and all of this in just a moment.
Let me first tell you about people who have money.
If you have money and you're going to invest, you have risk capital, then you do stand the chance of making big money in the global economy.
Listen to me closely.
The foreign exchange marketplace is actually 60 times the volume of the New York Stock Exchange.
And unique financial concepts can show you how to take advantage of changes in the value of the U.S. dollar versus all foreign currencies such as the German mark, Swiss franc, British pound, and Japanese yen.
For example, the U.S. dollar versus the Japanese yen.
In a recent one-month period, the yen moved 10 points.
Positioned properly, you could have made more than $35,000 on an investment of only $5.
You can get the complete reports and strategies.
Learn how you can invest in the very same currency markets that major banks and financial institutions used to make their gazillions of dollars.
Call 1-800-934-1188.
Information package and the caller-free.
That's 1-800-934-1188.
Of course, risk, as I said, is involved, and you could lose part or all of your initial investment.
Only risk capital should be used.
Past performance is not necessarily indicative of future results.
And that's true in so many aspects of life.
I just got an email from Santa.
Actually, it's a fact.
I always get this from the facts.
From Bill in Santa Clara, California.
Dear art, kudos to you for advertising absolutely fresh flowers.
I sent their flowers to my mom on Valentine's Day.
I spoke to her this morning, and they are still there.
Of course, they are now dwindling in number, but hey, it's been 24 days.
You'll never get that from a florist.
Absolutely fresh flowers will get my business again, and you can say that on the air.
Thanks to you and your show, dedicated listener, Bill.
Santa Claire, listening on Kiesfo.
Thank you, Bill.
They send out more flowers for the dollar than anybody in the world.
They come in a large triangular box delivered by FedEx as part of the price.
Inside, along with this gigantic shipment of flowers, there is a card from you handwritten with your message of love and caring, whatever you want to say.
Happy birthday, happy anniversary, whatever.
And then your name at the bottom, handwritten, very personal.
Now, the delivery is fast, hence the name Absolutely Fresh Flowers.
In other words, you call today during the week and they deliver tomorrow anywhere in the contiguous USA.
$47.95.
The number to call, 1-800-562-6438.
That's 1-800-562-6438.
Absolutely fresh flowers.
Now, I have become aware of a man who has, well, I guess he bought one of Stephen Gibbs time machines.
And so I thought it might be interesting to hear from this person.
Now, you may recall the other day, we got a call on the air from somebody who had just received his time machine, was about to use it, tentatively considering using it.
Now, I will tell you something about his machine.
You know, the principle actually...
unidentified
I'm sorry.
art bell
You know, looking at this, even though it may seem silly, you know, a coil coming out of one side of the machine that you would wrap around your head, and a very powerful electromagnet that you would put at the center of your body, and then the dials and the rubbing plate and all the rest of it.
But actually, if you believe in hyperdimensions, that there are other dimensions, then indeed this might be a way to resonate that.
Who knows?
At any rate, here's a guy who bought one of Steven's machines, and I thought I'd bring him on the air.
His name is Augie Nost.
Is it Nost?
unidentified
Yeah, that's Augie Nust.
art bell
Nust.
I'm sorry, Augie.
Where are you from?
unidentified
I'm from Omaha, Nebraska.
art bell
Well, at the moment, but you've got an accent.
He must have been from somewhere else.
unidentified
Well, yeah, I grew up in Europe and Norway.
art bell
Europe and Norway?
When did you...
unidentified
Well, quite a few years ago, I found an ad in a magazine, which I forget which one it was now, and I wrote for a catalog from him.
I think it probably was five, seven years ago.
art bell
All right, so it wasn't from my program?
unidentified
No, no, no, no.
I read the catalog.
It sounded fascinating, and I put it in a file somewhere, and that was the end of it at that time.
art bell
I think a lot of people do that.
I mean, it's so cool to have a time travel catalog.
Last time Stephen was on, you know, I'm not going to sit here and sell machines for Stephen.
But I thought, you know, for the audience, just to have a time travel catalog sitting on their coffee table would be cool.
It's like a conversation piece or something.
And so I take it that you originally got that catalog and kind of looked at it the same way, but then filed it away.
unidentified
Yeah, I did.
art bell
All right, so one day came and you made, I mean, how did you make the decision?
These are not cheap.
What does this machine cost?
unidentified
Actually, no, I think we got it wrong.
I did not buy one.
I used the equipment because I'd known Steve for some time and he was in Omaha.
He brought the machine with him.
art bell
I see.
unidentified
And we were over to a friend's house and there is where I strapped it on and I used it.
art bell
You strapped it on?
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
You wound the cords around your forehead, as he suggests.
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
And then just as he talked about on the radio, you put the magnet basically in your belly button area and activated tremendous current through it, huh?
unidentified
Yeah, I remember the time coil got hot.
art bell
It would.
It definitely would get hot.
unidentified
Yeah, we had to switch hands to hold it in place.
art bell
I'm sure it would get very hot indeed.
All right, so what happened?
unidentified
Well, first of all, though, we have to kind of.
I've studied this quite a bit over the years, and there is more than one kind of time travel.
You've got mental time travel, you got physical time travel.
art bell
Right.
unidentified
And we also have to understand what time is to really understand what this is.
We think that time is linear.
Well, it may appear that way, but there are much evidence to the fact it is not.
art bell
Okay.
unidentified
And time, as Nikola Tesva and even Einstein, he questioned if it was linear.
And it appears to be like a wave.
Anything in the universe is based on frequency, right?
art bell
I believe that to be so, yes.
unidentified
Yeah, if time is real, it also has to be frequency.
art bell
I'm not going to disagree with that.
That's entirely plausible, okay?
unidentified
And this, in a physical world, it appears linear.
But in order to be able to travel on the wavefront of time, you have to step in between dimension into the zero-point vacuum, and then you can travel forward and backwards.
art bell
Zero points.
Tapping into hyperdimensional energy.
There you go.
All right, so I still want to know what happened.
unidentified
Well, when I sat there, I went into a meditative state.
art bell
Yes.
unidentified
Meditated.
And for a little while, nothing happened.
And I had a little handicap because I was in a hurry.
I really needed to go somewhere in a very short time.
But I sat there and thought about absolutely nothing.
And then after a little while, I started to see some light flickerings in front of my eyes, which I had closed at that time.
It was kind of like, well, it was little specks of light that just kind of showed up.
Right, right, right, right.
art bell
Right, absolutely.
unidentified
And then I started to see a little, kind of like a, almost, it appeared like a column in the middle.
And then it was kind of like a vision or a, I was just like I'm watching a dim movie that got clearer and clearer.
And it was like a mountaintop and there was like a volcano.
art bell
A volcano.
unidentified
And the top of this volcano just plain came off.
And that volcano erupted.
And the thing about this one is that I had a specific date and a year in time that I had targeted.
art bell
And what was that?
unidentified
That was in 1999, the 7th of July.
art bell
July 7th, 1999.
Do you know where you were?
unidentified
I don't know where I was.
I had an impression of a feeling that it was either on the west coast or the northwest.
That was a strong feeling, and that's all I had.
I could be wrong about that.
art bell
All right.
unidentified
That was clearly a volcano that came unglued, and the whole gut spilled right up there.
art bell
And this happened while you were using his machine.
You saw all this?
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
I had the machine on at the time, and I started to feel a little dizzy.
And I also remembered that, well, maybe I got a little nervous, too.
That's possible.
art bell
I can understand that.
No question about it.
It's going to make me nervous to try it, too.
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
Because I know, my God, with this kind of voltage into this electromagnet, that sucker is going to get hot as a firecracker.
unidentified
Yeah, it would.
But I think that, well, this is something that I think it would be a phenomenal experience to try it out.
And I think if people go through the procedures that he's outlined for us, it's safe enough.
art bell
Well, all right.
Stephen is going to send me a machine.
Do you have any advice for me?
unidentified
I would say keep the machine close by you because let's say for some reason that you do go somewhere physically, it would be nice to have this machine with you so you could plug it in wherever you're at.
art bell
It's a very, very good point.
Listen, I want to thank you.
I'm going to go back to Stephen, but I did want to interview you and at least ask what had happened to you, and now we know.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
Thank you, Augie.
You're back.
Take care.
All right, that's Auggie.
Here's Stephen once again, Stephen Gibbs.
Stephen, are you there?
steve gibbs
Yep, yep.
Augie's a very good friend of mine.
art bell
Is he?
steve gibbs
Oh, yeah, yeah.
Yeah, I've known him for quite some time.
art bell
All right.
Again, Stephen, I'll ask you the same question.
You're about to send me a machine.
steve gibbs
Yeah.
art bell
Stephen, do you have any warnings or cautions or instructions for me when I get this thing?
steve gibbs
Well, if you activate it over in, well, how can I put it?
If you activate it in the Las Vegas area, I would most likely say that you're probably going to be going physically.
art bell
Yeah, there is a definite point between here and Las Vegas.
steve gibbs
Yeah, and now, Perump, I don't know.
art bell
Well, it's in between.
steve gibbs
I think whether or not a grid line goes through Perump.
art bell
Oh, I know where it is.
It's in the Blue Diamond area.
steve gibbs
Yeah.
art bell
I know exactly where it is.
steve gibbs
And there is...
And when I'm referring to negative grid point, I'm not referring to a past grid point.
I'm referring to a negative bad grid point.
art bell
Bad?
steve gibbs
Yeah, it's bad.
It locks into a hell region.
art bell
So I might go to hell.
steve gibbs
Yeah, you might, or else have a bad nightmare from it.
art bell
Great.
Just great.
steve gibbs
But that's only if you activated it within the vicinity of Las Vegas.
If you activated outside the edge of Las Vegas, I probably wouldn't do much.
Except unless, you know, you were over at grid point.
But hopefully the grids outside Las Vegas are more positive than that sucker is.
art bell
All right, here is a very critical question, and I think a reasonable question.
If you were to travel physically, Stephen.
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
To the far past, for example.
Augie was just mentioning plugging it in.
And I was thinking, what if you traveled to a time before there was power?
Now, what then?
steve gibbs
Well, hopefully you'd have your vehicle with you.
What I suggest to a lot of people who buy units from me that, you know, in order, because a lot of these grid points are far away from where a person, you know, lives at.
art bell
So you're saying take your car?
steve gibbs
Well, yeah, what you get is a DC, a 12-volt DC to, or DC to AC inverter that converts 12-volt DC into 150-volt AC that plugs right into your cigarette lighter.
And that way, if you want to take your vehicle with you through time, you can just program that into the unit and off you go.
art bell
Well, that might create another problem, Stephen.
If you suddenly ended up back in, say, the 1400s with your car.
unidentified
Yeah.
art bell
Right away, there could be a problem.
steve gibbs
Well, they'll just probably think you're some sort of a space traveler or something.
Or a warlock.
art bell
And you're liable to get burned at the stake along with your machine.
steve gibbs
Yeah, yeah.
One of those guys big swords through you.
unidentified
Okay.
art bell
all right.
steve gibbs
You'd have to have a set of clothing with you to match with the time period that you go to.
art bell
Um, I can imagine it would, but how are you gonna cl you know, how are you going to uh decorate your car so it does, you know.
steve gibbs
Yeah, well.
art bell
Anyway, look.
Um, Stephen, um.
steve gibbs
Excuse me.
art bell
Uh, yo, what was that?
steve gibbs
Oh, I accidentally pushed a button on my telephone.
art bell
I see, all right.
steve gibbs
Got one of these cheapies, so.
art bell
All right.
Um, I almost don't know what to say to you anymore.
Oh, yes, I do.
Um, the one cool thing that I have, whether people want to get your machine or not, eventually, is you do have your catalog, time travel.
steve gibbs
Oh, yeah.
art bell
Now, if people want it, it's all of $1 for the catalog.
I've got one in my hands.
How did they get it?
steve gibbs
Oh, they just send $1 to Stephen Gibbs, RR1, box 79, Clearwater.
That's spelt C-L-E-A-R, W-A-T-E-R.
And then Nebraska, that's abbreviated as N-E-E.
art bell
Right.
steve gibbs
And then the zip is 68726.
And my time machines sell for $360.
art bell
Ooh, that's pretty pricey.
steve gibbs
And now, if there are some people, you know, I wanted to state that if there are some people who order machines, that they would probably, the early ones who come in, the early orders that come in, I can probably have them processed before the end of this year, whereas the latecomers will probably have to wait until around the middle of 99 or towards the end of 99.
art bell
Yeah, you build these by hand, and you can only build a certain number every year.
steve gibbs
Yeah, yeah, that's correct.
I can only build something like anywhere from five to seven units per month.
art bell
Five to seven a month.
Yeah.
So even the people that last time bought a machine, they've not all yet received them.
Quite a few have, or most.
steve gibbs
No, no, I still have something like 37 back orders.
art bell
My God.
So it's going to be a while before you can get around to anybody's machine anyway.
unidentified
Well, they, well, yeah, yeah.
steve gibbs
But, you know, that's not unusual to have 37 back orders.
A lot of people who sell radionic machines usually end up having that.
art bell
Is there enough information in the drawing for people to...
steve gibbs
No.
art bell
Is there enough information for people to build them themselves?
steve gibbs
Well, now for the ones who want to build their own time machine, that's similar.
Now, it wouldn't be the same as the units I sell.
And it may, well, it just depends on which reports you go through.
But basically, if they want to build a machine which is almost identical to the one I sell, I would suggest they go with report number nine.
That gives instructions on how to build the multiverse resonator.
art bell
Alright, now wait, where is report number nine?
steve gibbs
That's in my catalog on the back page.
And it sells for $19.95 plus $3 for shipping and handling.
And it reads, you know, the information contained in this report almost costed me my life, which it about did.
art bell
How so?
steve gibbs
Well, I was harassed by some government people when I went over to Calgary, Canada at an earlier date to help these people activate a time portal.
And I was interrogated for three hours when I went through immigration.
art bell
Oh, you mean about your machine?
steve gibbs
Yeah.
art bell
They probably said, what the hell is this?
steve gibbs
Well, they didn't want any information to be let out in Canada.
See, they're really a bunch of SOBs as far as...
art bell
Be careful what you call them.
steve gibbs
Yeah, yeah, yeah, that's true.
art bell
It's not all Canadians.
You mean the Canadian border guys?
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
steve gibbs
Well, this guy was a government plant.
He was trying to get me on a drug charge, is what he was trying to do.
art bell
What does that have to do with a time machine?
steve gibbs
Well, they just didn't want anybody to know about time travel in Canada.
They didn't want anybody doing research on the subject.
art bell
Well, what does that have to do with drugs?
I mean, how are they going to bust you on drugs when you don't have drugs?
All you've got is a time machine.
steve gibbs
Well, yeah, but see, if it wasn't for my friend, I'm not going to mention any names.
If she hadn't threatened him with a lawyer, he probably would have been in prison by now.
art bell
Based on what?
steve gibbs
Well, who knows?
But boy, he sure was key off when my friend threatened him with a lawsuit because he was forced to let me through.
art bell
All right.
Stephen, in a moment, we're going to take calls.
Stay right where you are.
Next segment, we'll take calls for Stephen Gibbs.
Time machines.
unidentified
I keep hearing your concerns about my happiness.
But all the thoughts you've given me is conscious like it.
If I was walking in your shoes, I wouldn't worry now.
Are you no friends to worry about the having fun?
Captain flowers on the wall.
That don't bother me at all.
Playing father's song with the deck of 51.
Smoking cigarettes and watching Captain Taylor.
Don't tell me I've nothing to do.
Last night I dressed in tails pretending I was on the ground.
Ooh, you can dance.
You can dance.
I think I'm gonna die.
Ooh, you see that girl.
Watch that scene.
We can't see.
To talk with Arkbell in the Kingdom of Nye, from east of the Rockies, dial 1-800-825-5033 1-800-825-5033 West of the Rockies including Montana, Wyoming, Colorado, and New Mexico, 1-800-618-8255, 1-800-618-8255.
Now again, here's Art Bell.
art bell
Once again, here I am, and here's a brilliant idea.
I'll tell you, my wife suffers from time to time from asthma.
And when you suffer, those who suffer from asthma know, when you're in the middle of an attack, you can't lie down.
You have to sit up.
You have to be in a sitting position.
And so, you know, we usually end up putting about a million pillows behind my wife if she even can get in bed so that she's sitting up.
Now, that brings to mind the fact that for somebody like her, an adjustable bed would be ideal.
Well, boy, do I have an adjustable bed for you?
The Truman bed buddy.
It does not get rid of your old bed.
It converts your old bed into an adjustable bed and at an amazingly low price, under $250.
All you do is place the bed buddy on top of your existing mattress, press a button, and voila, it electrically adjusts to an infinite number of positions for reading, watching TV, or perhaps listening to your favorite radio show.
But rather than just giving you my view on this great adjustable bed, I asked for a second opinion from my good friend Alan Corbeth, very good friend.
He's president of my network, been with me the whole time, and he loves it.
Alan says, quote, like a lot of other people, I spend many hours when I should be sleeping, listening to art, and at the same time, I'm usually doing some paperwork.
The Bed Buddy is perfect for me.
It adjusts to just the right position to support my back.
And by the way, my wife loves it too for watching TV and reading.
Anybody can enjoy the comfort, convenience, and great value of the bed buddy adjustable bed priced at less than $250.
And now listen, right now, we're not even trying to sell you the bed.
We're just saying call and get the free brochure, and then you'll know when you look at it if it's what you want.
The call and the brochure are absolutely free.
So you can call them right now at 1-800-526-5000 right now.
And by the way, if you decide you want it, you can try the Truman Bed Buddy risk-free for 100 nights.
Now, there's a sponsor confident of their product.
The number is 1-800-526-1000, the Bed Buddy.
And I think it is absolutely a spectacular idea for anybody who needs to get into a different position for whatever reason.
Are you having news but the pain?
All right, we are going to go to the top of the hour and then we are going to move away from the time travel subject because I am getting word that there is a downright, there's an emergency going on in the Midwest.
In the state of Indiana, in northern Illinois, and possibly other areas as well, I'm getting word that hundreds and maybe thousands of people are stranded.
That would be the storm that passed through my area a couple of days ago, now rearing its very, very strong El Nino head in the Midwest.
And I understand there is a sincere emergency going on.
So we're going to be looking into that here very shortly.
In the meantime, if you have questions for Stephen Gibbs, I'll come now.
Stephen, are you there?
steve gibbs
Yep.
art bell
Okay.
All right, Stephen.
Here come some folks.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air with Stephen Gibbs and Art Bell.
Hello.
unidentified
Yes, Stephen and Art.
My name's Britt, and I'm calling from Shady Cove, Oregon, from your home station, K-O-P-E.
art bell
Hi there, Britt.
How are you doing?
unidentified
Oh, pretty good.
How about yourself and I love your show?
Thank you.
I know you've been very honest with your callers in the past, and I'd honestly like to ask you if you think that your guest is for real.
art bell
All right.
It's a good and fair question.
And the answer is, I don't know.
Stephen has been building these for a long, long, long time before I ever interviewed him about, you know, the machine.
But seven a month?
Seven machines, you mean?
unidentified
Didn't he say he built seven a month?
art bell
Yeah, that's right.
That's correct.
Seven a month.
unidentified
Sounds kind of off the wall to me.
art bell
Well, it isn't like he does this as a full-time job.
unidentified
It sounds like he sure should be.
art bell
You know, I'm going to answer your question.
I understand, thank you, that as people listen to Stephen, you know, he's brought up on a farm.
His diction isn't perfect.
And that makes people judge people, which is really too bad.
But that's the way it is.
Actually, Stephen, I'll tell you something.
We've got this new credibility rating system on my website.
steve gibbs
Yeah.
art bell
And 200 people before you even went on the air voted.
And you were voted as being reasonably credible, right, sort of in the middle.
steve gibbs
Yeah.
art bell
But as the program has gone on, your credibility rating, Stephen, has gone back to 1955.
So, you know, I understand, Stephen, why people react the way they do to what you say.
But the reason I brought you back is because I think there is something to you, and I see the principles involved in your machine.
Does it work?
Hell, I don't know.
Maybe I'm about to find out.
steve gibbs
Yeah, I would say so.
art bell
Now, if I'm suddenly...
steve gibbs
I figure before I would say the 27th.
art bell
The 27th of this month?
steve gibbs
Yeah.
art bell
So that's like 17 days from now.
unidentified
Yep.
art bell
All right.
So, you know, in answer to the caller's question, until I have done this myself, how can I make that judgment?
I just know that Stephen really has been building These and that I really have talked to people who have used them and claim they work.
I brought one on the air a little while ago.
So, you know, I would say to people in the listening audience, you ought not judge a book by its cover.
And people do that, and it's perhaps a gigantic mistake.
Anyway, first time caller line, you're on the air with Stephen Gibbs.
unidentified
Aloha, Steve.
Aloha, Art.
art bell
Hi there.
unidentified
Doug in Honolulu, Hawaii.
art bell
Yes, sir.
unidentified
And I just wanted to ask you, Mr. Gibbs, have you had anyone with time travel actually having problems of, especially if they physically go into the future, of having problems with diseases or any kind of viruses at all that are not introduced at this point?
steve gibbs
Nothing at all from what I've heard.
art bell
God, I never thought about that, Stephen.
If you were to go, we already have emerging viruses at a ridiculous rate.
New viruses all the time.
And one can only imagine as time goes on, there'll be more and more and more.
What if somebody went into the future, contracted something, and brought the damn thing back with them?
In fact, in fact, let's think about it this way.
Maybe some of these emerging viruses came back with some of your customers.
steve gibbs
Yeah, yeah.
But see, the thing that people don't realize is the unit puts an extremely powerful tachyon field around you that repels any chance for coming down with any of these viruses.
And not only that, you probably wouldn't stay there long enough to contract something.
art bell
Well, I don't know if you can say that.
I mean, all it takes is one person in the year 2006 to go, fuck you.
And there you are.
But I mean, your machine may take care of it.
That's a good answer.
Wildcard line, you're on the air with Stephen Gibbs.
unidentified
Hello.
Good morning, Art.
This is Kathy and Renell.
art bell
Hi, Kathy.
unidentified
Hi.
Great show tonight, as usual.
Mr. Gibbs, fascinating.
By the way, I believe in you.
I have no reason not to.
I have one question, and I'll listen to your answer off the air.
art bell
All right.
unidentified
Will you please tell us exactly what you have seen, experienced, or know about the cataclysmic event you mentioned on May 5th, 1999?
Thank you.
art bell
That was May 5th, 2005, and that's when the planets are supposed to align.
steve gibbs
Yeah.
art bell
And I just sort of chided Stephen for picking that date out of thin air.
steve gibbs
Yeah.
Well, I haven't personally gone to the year 2005.
Now, I know somebody who was using a couple of caduceus wound Tesla coils that went to the year 2008, shortly after the New World Order is established, and found out that the Christians are disposed during that time period by means of flamethrowers.
art bell
What?
steve gibbs
I'm serious.
They're taken to an affirmatory.
The ones who don't accept the biochip, either in their right hand or in their forehead, from what I was told, are taken to an affirmatory in the year 2008 where they are literally burnt alive in front of several eyewitnesses.
Now, this is something that a scientist saw when he went physically to that year.
And he actually has a lot of documented evidence to back up that he has made this jump.
Now, I don't dare mention names because this could definitely get me into trouble.
But he was working for some government agency back in World War II from as close as I could tell.
But he likes to keep his whereabouts unknown because he's really not from this time period.
art bell
Aren't you afraid, Stephen, that somebody will get this machine and fry themselves with it?
steve gibbs
No, no, there's safety catches in it that, you know, prevents any overload.
It's like, you know, if you decide to activate it over in Imperampa in Las Vegas, the amount of energy put out by the field is so, or put out by the machine is so fantastically highly intense that it would short out all manner of darkness in that area, even if it did it was tuned to a hell region and so basically the uh...
art bell
I'd throw the switch and I'd go straight to hell without passing guns.
steve gibbs
But no, I thought about, you know, that you might be going, that you might accidentally be tripped off into a negative dimension, but the more I think about it, from my own experiences and what from other people have told me that even if you decide to activate it over a negative grid, the energy would short out the negative grid.
And so you probably wouldn't end up in a hell region.
You would probably just simply, you know, pass through the grid with one hell of a headache.
art bell
Well, even that doesn't sound like a lot of fun.
steve gibbs
No, no, no.
art bell
All right, East of the Rockies.
You're on the air with Stephen Gibbs.
unidentified
Hi.
Hi.
This is Wanda from North Carolina.
art bell
Hi, Wanda.
unidentified
He had a fascinating program, and I rate him up very high, like 1999 now.
Stephen, I have a couple of questions.
One, I've studied Indian mysticism, and I know that from some of my studies that there are people who can time travel without machines, I guess through other means.
But I have two questions.
One is in studying Nicola Tesla's inventions, and I actually have had my hand on one of the patents, which was called the Violet Flame Invention that he invented, which people are trying to figure that must have been for healing.
So I can see why this could and would work.
My two concerns would be, one, is there any problem of internal combustion if a person's physical health was to have a lot of gases in their body.
art bell
Yes.
steve gibbs
No.
unidentified
No.
steve gibbs
There's no danger of internal combustion.
I never even heard of that problem.
The only thing I suggest to people who operate these machines is don't stick gemstones in it.
art bell
Don't stick gemstones in it.
steve gibbs
In the witness well, because it steps up the energy too damn much and you can then overheat yourself and where you could easily refer to as you can burst into flames.
art bell
Now, see, that's what the lady said.
Now you're saying you could burst into flames.
Now, are these warnings contained in your catalog?
steve gibbs
Well, you know, if people go by what is written in the catalog, they'll never, you know, suffer any, you know, any side effects.
It'll be only when they start doing things that aren't listed in my catalog.
art bell
Yeah, see, now, but that's the problem.
Stephen, for example, take me, for example.
steve gibbs
Yeah.
art bell
You know when I read directions when all else fails.
steve gibbs
Yeah.
art bell
I mean, it's like the last thing I do.
And now, believe me, after listening to your warnings, I will read the directions, but otherwise, I'd say, uh-huh, okay, this goes here, this goes here, turn it on, let's see what happens.
And with my luck, you know, somebody would drop a diamond or something in the witness well, and I'd go up like that.
steve gibbs
Well, diamonds ain't gonna affect that too much.
It's when you start using red-colored stones.
art bell
Red, red.
steve gibbs
Something that steps down the harmonics in it.
art bell
Okey-dokie.
West of the Rockies, you're on there with Stephen Gibbs.
unidentified
Hello.
Hi, Stephen.
My name's Doug.
I'm in Plattsville, California.
Yeah.
Are you in 1998 right now?
steve gibbs
Yeah, yeah, I'm president.
unidentified
Okay, I just, your comment at the beginning of the show was kind of curious.
I have a kind of a narrative question that would, if I could just read it, I wrote it down and maybe you could just answer it the best you could.
Go ahead.
Okay, I'm just listen to the whole thing.
Not the individual questions, but this would clarify it for me.
I'm 43 years old now in 1998.
I was 17 years old in 1971.
If you sent me back in time to 1971, would I be 17 years old or 43 years old?
And would I be in Germany in 1971?
art bell
Hold it.
Slow it up.
Take them one at a time.
What age would he be?
steve gibbs
He'd still be the same age because, you see, you wouldn't be jumping into your own past timeline in this universe.
you'd be jumping into a parallel universe.
So you'd still be...
Yeah, you'd still be 43, but with some rejuvenated qualities added to it.
art bell
All right.
Next question.
Would you be in Germany or would you be here?
unidentified
Would I be in Germany or where would I be?
art bell
Okay, the answer is you would be wherever you had deemed to go.
In other words, you would not be suddenly yourself when you were 17, so that means you wouldn't be in Germany unless that is where you wanted to go.
steve gibbs
Yeah, it would, yeah, you'd pop out wherever the, well, like if you went through a grid point in one location, then you'd pop out at that same grid point in the other time period.
unidentified
So unless you program it for by location.
If I went back to 1971, I would be 43 and I wouldn't necessarily be in Germany.
If I was somewhere else, could I travel to Germany and meet myself?
art bell
Very, very good question.
steve gibbs
There is a danger of meeting your counterparts in other parallel universes.
The reason for that is you can easily fuse into them, which would account for the split personality traits that are present in some people.
art bell
Terrible.
That's nothing you would want to do fusing with yourself.
First time caller line, you're on the air with Stephen Gibbs.
Hello.
unidentified
Hi.
art bell
Hi.
unidentified
Hi, my name is Matt, and I'm calling from Omaha.
art bell
Hello, Matt.
unidentified
Hi.
I can't believe I actually made it through.
sitting here dumbfounded.
I've tried to call once or twice in the past, just constant busy signal, and got all your Okay, okay.
I'm a teacher, so I can't listen off, and I got hit by the El Nino thing here, so we've got no school tomorrow.
So at any rate, maybe nothing happens by accident, and that's why I'm listening here tonight.
I'm here pretty close.
I've just got two questions.
art bell
Okay.
unidentified
First off, how long do you stay there?
Do you automatically return?
steve gibbs
Well, yeah, there's a, I would say at the maximum, there's a nine-hour time limit that you stay in the other time period, then you just automatically fade back to the present.
unidentified
Okay, okay, so it just sort of automatically brings you back?
steve gibbs
Yeah, yeah.
Unless you start screwing around with your own space-time continuum, then you may get locked in another time period.
unidentified
Okay, okay.
But if you follow the instructions, it'll be all right.
steve gibbs
Yeah, you should, yeah, so long as you don't run into your other self.
unidentified
Sure, sure, okay.
And then the other just question was, can I buy you lunch sometime?
I'm here in Omaha, so.
steve gibbs
Yeah, yeah, I'm about three hour, three or four hour drive from there.
The next time, maybe when I go up to visit my friend in Omaha, you know, should you happen to be, you know, if you could leave me a phone number or something.
art bell
All right, we're going to give out Stephen's address again here in a moment.
One last question, very quickly.
Wildcard line, you're on the air with Stephen Gibbs.
Hello.
unidentified
Oh, hi.
When you're time traveling, you're beyond time and space by, what, electromagnetic waves.
When you're beyond time and space, are you in touch with the eternal, the cause of records?
steve gibbs
well yeah you're in touch with the creators what you uh when you pass through that zero vector you see uh you you're you're you're actually you know passing through a realm that uh Well, in a sense, you do.
You're given whatever the Lord allows you to have in connection with the machine.
unidentified
But wouldn't you become one with the Lord because you would be omnipresent and eternal, immortal when you're beyond time and space?
steve gibbs
Well, I think that a lot hinges on the aspect of faith.
You know, this unit is no substitute for faith.
Faith has to come from within.
art bell
Oh, that's a good place for us to end it, Stephen.
Listen, I'm going to give out your address.
Folks, you can get a time travel catalog, which I guarantee is great to have on your coffee table, even if you never get a machine, by writing to, sending $1 to Stephen Gibbs.
That's what, G-I-B-B-S?
steve gibbs
Yeah, yeah.
Stephen, yeah, G-I-B-B-S.
art bell
That's R-R-1.
I bet that stands for Rule Route.
Yeah, R-R-R-R-1, Box 79.
steve gibbs
Box 79.
art bell
In Clearwater.
The one word, Clearwater, Nebraska.
Zip code 68726.
Is that about right?
steve gibbs
Yep, that's correct.
art bell
Well, Stephen, I am looking forward to getting my machine.
I am really looking forward to it.
steve gibbs
Yes.
art bell
And you're going to get an awful lot of requests.
Now, people need to bear in mind that you only build a certain number of these.
They're all hand-built, and you build them on, I guess, special order is a way to put it, isn't it?
steve gibbs
Yeah, yeah, I'm going to be building machines from now on until doomsday.
art bell
Doomsday.
Well, maybe on the next program, Stephen, you can tell us when that will be.
steve gibbs
Yeah, yeah, sure.
art bell
Stephen Gibbs, thank you and good night.
steve gibbs
Yeah, thank you, Art.
art bell
Well, there's Stephen Gibbs, folks, from Nebraska.
And when I get my machine, what would you recommend that I do after hearing all of this?
I've got a lot of thinking to do about that.
All right, look, I understand there is a very, very serious situation going on in the Midwest.
And I know there are people in trucks and cars out there stuck.
And what we're going to do when we come back is open a special line for people in the Midwest who are stuck in this hellish storm that I've been hearing about.
