Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell - Predictions for 2002
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Welcome to Art Bell Somewhere In Time.
Tonight featuring Coast to Coast AM from December 27, 2001.
From the high desert in the great American Southwest, I bid you all good evening, good morning, good afternoon, wherever you may be across the globe.
All 24 time zones, I'm Art Bell and this is Coast to Coast AM.
That period of time in the year between Christmas and the New Year.
And yes, by the way, I will be here on New Year's Eve.
You bet I'll be here.
So, we'll bring in the New Year together, and we will do predictions up through the end of that program, and then they're cut off until the following year.
It is tradition.
So tonight, we devote entirely, as well as tomorrow night and Monday, to your predictions for the coming year.
And it should be a whopper.
It really should be a whopper, considering all that has gone on and is going on.
My, my, what a year, I'm sure we've got ahead.
Now, by the way, I want to thank everybody for the logo submissions.
We'll run this through tomorrow and then stop it and sit down and look at them all.
We're getting gazillions of them.
And thank you all, very talented people out there.
It'd be fun to go through them and sort of compare against what we've got and see where we are.
But boy, they came flooding in, I'll tell you.
All right, now, what is going on now?
The big news, the top news, actually.
Isn't Osama this time?
It's Indian Pakistan.
Situation is becoming really dangerous.
Diplomatically on Thursday, ordering half of each other's embassy folks sent home.
Both countries banned any overflights between their two countries.
You know, the situation is getting worse and worse and worse.
And both of these countries have nuclear weapons.
Not a lot of them, but with nukes, you don't need a lot.
They both have them, and I believe they both have the will to use them, and that's probably more important than the simple possession.
They would use them.
They say, at least one of them, that they would do everything to try and not use nuclear weapons, but You know, that's not the way war works.
When you actually go to war, you use whatever you have.
And my guess on whether India and Pakistan would refrain from dipping into the nuke arsenal if they actually got into a real serious war, I'd say that the chances of their not doing that are slim and none.
We're going to take the Afghan prisoners we have, the Taliban prisoners.
Guess where?
Cuba.
Guantanamo in Cuba.
And that's very interesting.
Apparently, they're not going to have military tribunals at Guantanamo.
It will take weeks to get it, you know, the base ready for the detainees, but what we're going to do with them, very, very unclear.
That girl who was lost and feared dead, and they had pretty much given up, has been found safe in West Virginia.
There is a Kidnapping, a charge being filed, so that's pretty good news, actually, because they really thought she was lost.
Says goodbye to Mayor Giuliani, heard his voice in the news at the top of the hour, and I wonder if he could be a presidential candidate.
In the news at the top of the hour, he sounded like a presidential candidate, if you ask me.
We'll see.
On Bin Laden.
You know, we've got this tape they think was made in mid-December, perhaps.
Not very long ago, and appears to be Bin Laden.
Interesting story on the climate.
This is, let me see, where has this come from?
Who?
But I think it came from elsewhere, actually.
I suppose I'll get to it.
Friday, December 28th.
Countries around the world We're trying to cope with a climatic catastrophe.
As a big freeze chilled Europe and North America.
Brazil recovered from torrential rains.
Bushfires, blazing in an Australian heatwave, and the Saudis are actually now praying for rain.
North America plunged into the throes of a very intense cold front that buried Buffalo, New York In three, maybe coming four feet of snow.
We're on the air in Buffalo, sure would be interesting to hear from Buffalo.
In Europe, the chill has claimed hundreds of lives.
A winter cold snap in Poland has claimed 178 lives since October.
According to local police there, a figure well above the previous year.
Authorities in Bulgaria declared a state of emergency In the northeast of the country after the worst snowfall in 30 years.
That's where three more people died in the intense cold.
In Russia, normally no stranger to bitter cold, Moscow authorities say three people have died in sub-zero temperatures.
The southern hemisphere, in real trouble with heat, Australia, Massive mudslides triggered by torrential rain in Rio de Janeiro are beginning to engulf homes, claiming at least 50 lives there, leaving 2,000 homeless.
In Saudi Arabia, thousands of people are filling the country's mosques to pray for rain, as they there blame the drought on sin and corruption.
Saudis have twice already offered up rain prayers this year, but with little apparent success.
Most northern and central regions have remained dry, and southwest areas of the kingdom have had very little rain.
Meteorologists are saying the forecast is going to be more drought next year.
Bad news.
The spate of extreme weather across the globe comes, as many scientists warn, The populations are going to have to get used to increasing incidences of drought, searing heat, icy cold, and flooding, which they say characterize the so-called greenhouse effect.
Climate climatologists are warning that a trend of increasing global temperatures is not the only phenomena from the effect they blame on a buildup of greenhouse gases.
So, Everywhere now, across the globe, I'm getting a story like this every night.
It is obvious we are going through a climate change.
Now, in order to try and stay non-political, because, you know, talking about global warming is intensely political, I don't think it matters.
It's a fact.
Whether it's a cyclic thing, and the earth simply because of the sun or whatever you want to imagine goes through this massive change or whether it's the hand of man affecting that change to some degree or even no degree the fact of the matter is the climate around the world not just here around the entire world is in the middle of a change it could be a fast rapid change
We've really got to face up to that possibility.
Even the mainstream scientists are finally beginning to admit that that's what we might be in for, and this could be the opening round, the opening shots of that.
Or on the more benign side, it could be a simple slow, and I don't mean to oversimplify global warming, but a slow warming because very small Temperature changes make very big changes in the kind of weather the world gets, and you know, it's getting... it's getting pretty bad.
What some scientists think, it's going to get a lot worse.
When you think you've heard everything, comes a story proving to you, you haven't.
This came, I think, uh, somebody plucked it from the drudge site originally by Cecilia Vega and Jeremy Hay, press democrat.
And is, plane takes off from Turok Ranch without pilot.
Unmanned airplane broke free from its moorings Wednesday, get this, while the pilot was working on it.
Taking off from a two-rock ranch and flying over southern Sonoma County without a pilot for at least two hours.
Now, how do they know that?
Well, the fellow who was working on it said he figured it had about two hours worth of gasoline.
Authorities concluded the single-engine airplane eventually crashed.
Duh.
But a search for wreckage is suspended because of darkness.
In other words, they haven't found it yet at all.
Walt Smith, regional coordinator for the FAA, said, quote, this will be in the aviation history books, end quote.
Pretty wild, he said.
We're all shaking our heads.
We thought we'd heard it all.
Search began shortly after 3 p.m.
when Paul Clary III of San Rafael Well, I'd like to talk to him.
If you're out there, Paul, email me at artbellatminespring.com.
I'd love to talk to you.
San Rafael called 9-1-1 to report that his airplane had taken off from his son's Middle 2 Rock Road Ranch with nobody aboard, with enough fuel to fly along for two hours.
He said everybody's saying it's a nightmare.
He had owned the plane, a 1946 Aeronica Champion for about six years.
All kinds of people have dispatched aircraft and search parties, and the airplane is yellow.
It's not like you'd miss it.
And I don't know a whole lot about aviation, as proven by my broken arm when I was trying to hang live.
But, excuse me, how does an airplane, with somebody working on a flooded engine, Far enough.
Okay, I can get that part.
It starts up.
Surprise!
You know, the flooded engine suddenly gets unflooded and chokes and starts, but this airplane then somehow managed to rev up the engine sufficiently to get to flight speed, aim itself down some sort of runway or something, and take off in level Flight.
Gain altitude and fly for two hours.
Now, maybe some of you experienced pilots can explain that to me.
A shadow person took it.
I mean, I just, how can that happen?
How can that happen?
I can only just take off.
All right, now listen.
As I said, anyway, getting back to predictions.
This is your one opportunity.
These are numbered predictions that will be filed away in the Bell Family Vault.
Now, I've got predictions made for the year 2001, and we will read more of them and score them in a moment.
Now, if I get it wrong, and sometimes I'm not sure how it really came out, I will open my fast blast computer screen so you can tell me I'm full of it, and this or that did or did not actually happen.
Let me get that going.
There we go.
So, in a moment, I will read to you and rate some of last year's predictions, followed by my turning to the phones for all of you to register your... Now look, I want you to reach deep down into your psychic center.
Don't just take stabs at things, really put a little psychic thought into what you think is going to occur.
So far I must say, the predictions we've been getting, while a small sample thus far, are pretty dark in nature.
Now it's been a pretty dark year, and there's some dark stuff going on out there right now, but remember you're predicting You know, all of this may turn around very quickly, or, you know, it may not.
That's life, right?

I want to talk with you a little bit about 2012.
We're getting close to this December 21st date.
What is your take on it?
At a certain point, a preponderance of consciousness can tip the balance and shift the entire course of history.
The sequence of events that we're about to experience is like an intervention that's going to start to reverse some of the negative events that have been so dominating our lives, and we need to not come to fear.
Now, we take you back to the past on Art Bell Somewhere in Time.
Art Bell Somewhere in Time Let us now review some more of those predictions made last
year.
We got up to number 9.
So, number 10 made last year would be J.C., who had not called in a very long time, to call again.
And by God, that is a ding, ding, ding.
J.C.
did call.
In fact, not very long ago.
After a very, very, very long absence.
So we know J.C.
is alive.
And I must say, I don't know that he went through very much of any sort of good personality change.
Number 11.
That is a definite bonk.
It's the old, E.T.' 's will land on the front lawn of the White House.
Bonk.
Number 12.
That people will become more aware of communications with the dead.
I'm going to give this one a ding, and I'm going to tell you why.
Because people like, what's his name, Edwards?
Have entire programs based on it, the sudden really big increase in the popularity of those who talk to the dead, James Van Praag and others like him.
But most of all, the electronic voice phenomena that we have been so much into over this last year.
So I'm going to give that one a ding.
People are aware.
of much more aware of those who speak to or purport to speak to dead people.
Number 13, Ramona and Art renew their wedding vows.
Actually, it says wedding anniversary.
I don't know why I wrote that.
We did certainly renew our wedding anniversary, but I think they meant vows.
So I'm going to give that a general bonk.
We didn't actually renew vows, but we certainly had an anniversary.
Number 14 is dead meat.
Number 14 says, The XFL, you know that football league?
XFL becomes more famous than the NFL.
You're talking about how major league, how entire football organizations can go, how quickly they can go down the tubes.
I was so sad about that.
I really like the XFL becoming more popular than the NFL.
Bonk.
All right, number 15, another shot to the moon announced.
Now, I'm a little bit unsure about this one, but I don't think that we have announced any sort of manned shot to the moon, right?
So I'm going to give that a bonk.
Let's see, number 16, referring to my show.
Ratings go up.
Ding, ding, ding.
Our ratings certainly have gone up.
Big ding there.
And number 17, a space shuttle disaster.
Thank God a bonk for that one.
18, I'm going to be willing to give a ding.
Even though I was not particularly hopeful for him when he was elected, and there was something that gave me the GBs about him, which by the way I might add is not totally gone, Number 18 is that George Bush will be a good president.
And so far, you must say, I will.
Ding, ding, ding.
He really has been.
And he certainly has risen to the occasion, in my opinion.
As many presidents have.
You know, as something horrible happened in America.
Absolutely horrible.
He has risen to the occasion, and I think is a good president.
I'm giving that a good, qualified ding, ding, ding.
Actually, your record so far, it's really not half bad.
We'll talk about that and take more predictions coming up in a moment.
You're listening to Art Bell, Somewhere in Time on Premier Networks.

You're listening to Art Bell Somewhere in Time on Premier Networks.
Tonight, an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from December 20th.
All right, we're about to get underway with your predictions.
And you know what?
Of the 18 predictions that I have thus far reviewed, you think about this a little bit.
These are not just 50-50 calls.
These are specific predictions.
And so out of 18, how many dings do we have?
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7.
We have seven dings for random predictions out of 18.
Maybe you folks are becoming somewhat more psychic.
Maybe those who are out there claiming that the general populace is becoming more psychic generally Are correct.
Now, I admit, it's an early sample, and we could go downhill quickly, but... That's pretty good.
Out of 18, that's actually astounding.
**thunder** Dirty.
Now, we take you back to the past on Arkbell Somewhere in Time.
Just a little more on that plane, thanks to Fastblast.
I'm hearing the plane was found near Lake Berryessa.
Now, the person who Fastblasted said, the guy isn't talking, call his lawyer.
The guy is Clary.
And I don't know if he's talking or not, but it looks like it turned out okay.
I mean, nobody's saying anybody got hurt, so... Anyway, reading the story here, it says, His mistake was leaving the throttle forward, and when he turned the propeller to try to start it, the throttle was forward.
It, sure enough, started and took off.
It's not my fault, he said.
Clary and his son, get this, chased the airplane north in their minivan until, quote, we just lost sight of it, said Paul Clary IV.
They were able to keep it in sight for no longer than five or ten minutes.
The younger Clary said, it's a disaster.
They think it likely reached 5,000 feet based on the amount of fuel in its tank.
It could have gone for two hours.
Now, I don't know the distances involved here to Lake Berryessa, if that's really where it is.
That's so amazing.
Now, leave it to me to note something like this.
You know, we're all worried about terrorism in this country, right?
And if this guy's plane, flying in the blind, truly, no human being at its controls whatsoever, was an hour or two in the air, and our military, and our civilian people, and nobody could find it.
Well, you see where I'm going, right?
If a plane, a small plane, was uh... really wanting to do something awful uh... it looks
to me like they could do it i mean this was a big yellow plane that every
everybody was looking for a good thing that will probably
and they couldn't find it so what would happen if a small plane was bent on doing
something awful i'm sure the f a is thinking a lot about that one and
should be anyway here we go
prediction time first-time caller line you are on the air hello
Hey Art.
Hey, it's Broadway Bo from Morgantown, West Virginia.
How are you doing tonight?
I'm alright.
First time caller, huh?
Yes, sir.
Okay.
Okay, here's my prediction, and I had a thought about this last night.
In fact, it was in my dream, and I woke up and I kind of thought, wow, you know, that's only a few days away, and this is going to take place on New Year's Eve or New Year's Night or, you know, the new night when we ring in 2002.
Yes.
What happened is that there was a random number of suicide bombers standing in the middle of Times Square.
Are you predicting this or are you just telling us about a dream?
Well, that's how I predict things.
So you are officially predicting this?
Yes.
Suicide bombers.
Suicide bomber or bombers.
In the middle of Times Square.
I mean, I hope I'm wrong.
Yeah, me too.
At the New Year?
Yes.
I hope it proves me wrong.
I close my eyes and I can picture it in my head.
I can picture it happening.
Well, just for the comfort or discomfort of those listening out there, What's your record like with regard to prophetic dreams?
Have they come true in the past?
And if so, on what sort of regular basis?
It's been 50-50, mostly small things.
So this is an unusually big event.
Yes.
The biggest I'd say that I've dreamt about so far.
50-50, huh?
50-50.
All right.
Prediction number 11.
Thank you.
Thank you.
I'm telling you, we are not getting rosy predictions at all.
Now, I guess that's really understandable, isn't it, in view of what's happened and happening?
I guess it is, but a lot of times, remember, and I don't want to affect your predicting, but a lot of times, whatever is true now, six months from now, just ain't true no more.
You know, it's changed.
So, you know, at least bear that in mind.
But again, I ask you to seek your psychic center.
Think about this a little bit before rendering up your prediction.
That was actually number 11, because number 10 was the S&P 500 will go up 208 at least.
Whoops, wrong.
I read the percentage sign as a zero.
20% at least, the S&P 500.
So that was 11, and this will be 12.
Wow, Cardeline, you're on the air.
Hello.
Hi, good evening, Gordon.
How are you?
Okay, sir.
Where are you?
I'm in Suffolk, New York, about 40 miles outside the city.
Okay.
I have a serious prediction.
I think that it's time that America's going to go into isolation as a country.
That's an opinion.
I'm sorry?
That's an opinion.
Right, well that's my prediction that we will go into isolation this year.
I felt that we should have nuked them all after September 11th.
Hopefully they'll do it themselves now, but Pakistan and India I think will be more conventional.
But maybe they'll all get into it and we don't have to do anything and it might be time for us to sit back and take care of our own country for a change.
Well, you know, you have a point there.
I don't know about nuking them all, but it does right now look as though they might nuke each other.
Correct.
Indian Pakistan.
Now, we weren't really in a fight with India near as far as I know.
Correct.
But what I'm hoping for is that, you know, we as a country will just sit back and let them destroy themselves in any way they can.
So if the nuclear weapons began to fly over there, Bearing in mind, we have troops now in Pakistan, right?
And in Afghanistan.
Correct.
You would want to see us withdraw and say, use them up, guys.
That about it?
I would love to see us just sit back in the easy chair and go into isolation, and just let the world do what they're going to do out there.
The world will survive without us, and we'll survive without them, and let them do what they want.
Do you think the world really would survive without America?
I mean, have you really thought that one through?
The aid we give... Well, to be honest with you, no.
But maybe the world would begin to appreciate America.
Which they should, and I think it's time that we have to take care of ourselves a bit and clean up our own mess here.
So your theory is absence makes the heart grow fonder?
Yes, it does.
I see.
Alright, gotcha.
Thank you very much.
America will become isolationist.
It's been suggested many, many times throughout the years by people who are sick of what we do around the world.
You know, that we just draw all our horns in and pay attention to only America.
Just like France.
That's what the French do.
The French are an odd group.
They really are.
They're an odd group.
They're not bad.
The French aren't bad.
They're just... What's the right word for the French?
They're French.
Actually, I do, but I can't say it on the radio.
I love Paris.
Ramona and I love Paris.
It's a beautiful, beautiful city.
But the French people?
They're French.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello.
Hello, Art.
Hi.
Happy New Year.
Thank you.
Where are you?
I am in Oakdale, Nebraska.
My name is Sharon.
Okay, Sharon, you have HUM on your phone.
Yes, I have a HUM.
Okay.
And you also probably have a prediction.
I certainly do.
And I was hoping, I had my fingers crossed, it would not be number 13.
Well, sorry.
And I have the only confounding good prediction, I think.
Really?
That I have heard so far in life.
That figures it would be number 13.
Alright, fine.
I predict that there's going to be more visible angels appearing to people.
Oh, I think you're right.
Every guest that I've had on, you know, that has been talking about the other side, has been telling me the same thing.
That the veil, or whatever it is you want to call it, I call it the veil because that's a cool name, or the barrier between here and there is breaking down.
Well, I have a feeling it's been broken for several years.
It's just that people have been afraid to talk about it.
My mother had seen angels several, several years ago.
When she was a little girl.
And she's 92 years old now.
How does she know they're angels?
Because when her grandmother passed away, she saw her at the foot of her bed.
Yeah, but see, what she's calling an angel, somebody else might call a ghost.
Well, this is true.
Yeah.
Okay.
Well, no, nevertheless, I buy your prediction 100%.
Okay?
More visible angels appear.
I mean, more visible everything is appearing, and that that is happening right now, and some might call that a ghost.
It's all in a name, right?
Angel.
Dead relative.
Ghost.
However you want to think about it.
The veil.
The separation between there and here is clearly breaking down.
Now, you could say, well, Art, you do this kind of a show, and so you hear about this sort of thing.
I know, but the percentage of people that are saying this now to me are, it's just dramatically up.
Very dramatically up.
So I think, on top of what all my guests are saying, so I think there's a pretty good chance that really is happening.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hi.
Go on.
Yes, sir, you're on the air.
I'm Charlie on Kauai.
I have a positive prediction.
OK, good.
It'll be number 14.
That you will witness a cheap, clean, abundant energy source model.
New energy source.
Yes.
What do you think it might be?
Well, I'm the inventor of it, so it's We both have to cooperate to get it.
Isn't this prediction affected by insider information?
I don't know.
What do you mean you don't know?
You're the inventor of the product.
That's insider information, sir.
I don't know how to respond.
I'm trying to get it out in the world and I can make a prediction that will show it to you.
I see.
Oh, I see.
Well, okay.
I'll try to get it through, maybe through a night in Honolulu.
Give me, if you don't mind, please, a little hint.
In what manner does this device generate energy?
It's an array of thousands, at least, of diodes in the same alignment, parallel, that turns Johnson noise into Yeah, I've heard of this.
Actually, I've heard of it.
How much energy in the model that you have are you able to produce?
I'm only able to get 50 nanowatts out of 5,000 or near 6,000 diodes.
this. Actually I've heard of it. How much energy in the model that you have are you
able to produce? I'm only able to get 50 nanowatts out of 5000 or near 6000 diodes. It's not
very good. So we're not going to be powering any little toys with it?
Well, I expect a better model to have a nanowatt per diode and be able to have a trillion diodes per square centimeter.
So all that would be done on a board?
Yeah, a chip with all these diodes as needles embedded in a matrix.
All right, well, all right, I'll accept your prediction, and we'll see if it is demonstrated to me or not.
That's a very, very minuscule amount of power, but it is power.
I've heard of that before, diodes upon diodes, zillions of diodes, and it would make sense, it would make some sense.
It might make more sense if it was orbiting Earth Remember the great experiment NASA had with their tether?
Which, by the way, blew off the connection point because it was so much more current than expected.
There's really something to be said about power in space.
And the big question is, how to get it back here?
That's the problem.
Motion is power.
Absolutely.
And motion and two bodies, two large bodies moving.
about each other generate a very great deal of power, or are able to receive a great deal of power.
It depends on how you think about it, I suppose.
On the first time caller line, you are on the air.
Hello.
Yeah, hi.
Do you have a prediction?
Yes, sir.
You're in a truck, right?
Yes, sir, I am.
Okay.
And my prediction is that Barry Sanders is going to come out of retirement and win the Super Bowl for the Lions.
Really?
That's it.
Do you have any insider information?
No, I don't.
I'm a retired Lions fan.
Gotta see them do something better than they did this year.
Okay, I appreciate that.
Thank you.
Barry Sanders comes out of retirement.
Nobody really understands altogether why Barry Sanders did retire in the first place.
He just, you know, at the zenith of a career, just said that's it.
But there's been a lot of rumor about his possibly coming back.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Good morning, Art.
Good morning to you, ma'am.
Where are you?
I'm calling from Lolo, Montana.
Okay.
And my name is Suzanne.
Okay.
And I got a prediction.
Number 16.
Oh, not a bad number.
I'm predicting that this is a good one.
That the alternative in homo-pathic Healing will coincide with the medical profession by the end of the year.
Will coincide with what?
The medical, you know, doctors today.
You mean that the medical profession will begin to adopt homeopathic methods and remedies?
Yeah, and alternative, you know, herbs and stuff like that.
I think they almost have to.
You know, it's really, really interesting you would suggest that.
My family doctor is doing that all the time.
He's saying, look here, here's this or that, or give it a try.
Yeah, I work with all that stuff.
The only ones who really seem interested right now are chiropractors.
They align the back, but then you have to finish the homework, if you know what I mean.
So alternative medicine becomes mainstream?
With, yeah, medical profession, yeah.
Well.
Or they'll join together to work on helping people instead of cutting them up and, you know.
You know, okay, I have registered your prediction and I would like to think that you're right, and I am personally amazed that I have a family doctor that is absolutely that way.
In fact, he's a remarkable, remarkable man here in Pahrump, Nevada.
Remarkable man.
But do I think that the entire medical profession, you know, the surgeons and everybody out there is going to suddenly adopt All sorts of alternative ways of doing things.
No, I'm sorry.
I don't think so.
Interest of getting positive predictions.
I give you happy music.
Remember this from Greece?
Maybe this will get you good food.
Make a good prediction.

Now, we take you back to the past on Art Bell Somewhere in Time.
Art Bell Somewhere in Time Alright, back now to the predictive powers of my audience.
Now, I was thinking about this a little bit earlier.
It may well be that my audience, all of you, Because of the fact that you listen to this kind of program, you're probably more in tune with yourself, your psychic self.
At least, that's certainly a strong possibility.
So the predictions that you all make might have a higher average hit rate.
So far, that's exactly what we're seeing.
Let's see what's out there.
First time caller on the line, you're on the air.
Hello.
This is Mark in Boise, Idaho.
Hey, Mark.
I'd like to make a prediction about China.
I think they're going to make some significant moves to expand their territory.
Oh?
And I possibly play King of the Mountain with America.
You think it'll center around the Spratlys?
I don't know.
You know, they're in a big fight about the Spratlys with the Philippines and others, you know, claiming they belong to China.
Of course, they also claim Taiwan.
You could be absolutely right.
They could begin... They've just been awfully quiet lately.
I haven't heard much news.
No, it's probably, sadly, a pretty good prediction.
And you think that if they begin making moves... If you were the U.S.
President, And China started to make some moves.
What would you do?
Well, I'd, uh... Yes?
I'd have to declare war on them, probably.
Declare war?
On China?
It'd probably cause, um... Well, with the numbers, they outnumber us greatly, so... Well, mere numbers of human beings in this nuclear age, you know, probably doesn't mean a lot.
No.
And so you would have, uh, since you're president, you would have all kinds of things at your disposal, you know, like, uh, neutron bombs that would kill people and not stuff?
Yes.
You would use those?
You'd be forced to.
Uh-huh.
If you were the president of the United States.
I see.
Uh, don't run.
Thanks for the call and the prediction.
Thanks, Eric.
Take care.
Don't run for office.
So China, well that's a pretty good prediction, actually.
When you think about it, China probably is going to make some moves.
Begin consolidating a number of territories, not just the Spratlys, and boy is it going to be a lot of trouble over that, but you never know.
Could be the year for Taiwan.
Maybe they'd be satisfied with that, and even at that, we'd probably get involved with that.
We said we would, right?
Wildcard Line, you are on the air.
Good morning.
Yeah, he just took my prediction almost.
That man took your prediction?
Almost.
I'm going to go a step further.
Uh-oh.
All right.
China and the United States will be in full-blown war by July the 4th.
And what will kick it off, they will invade Taiwan.
Yeah, that would do it.
By 4th?
By July 4th.
I'm going to say right around July 4th.
Now, when you say full-blown war, do you mean like nuclear war?
I believe we will get hit twice with two nuclear blasts where we have the stealth bombers.
One in Missouri and one in North Dakota.
And you know we would hit back, of course.
And you think what?
That we would just hit two of their cities in retaliation and that might be the end of it?
I don't think we will retaliate.
You don't?
I don't think we will retaliate.
How can you imagine the United States would get two nukes going off on its territory from a foreign power, much less some crazy SOB in Afghanistan, and not react?
How could we not react, sir?
I think we should react.
But I think the probability is that we will not react.
I think we will take our hits... Boy, over my dead body.
That's always possible.
All right, thank you very much for the call.
I sure do disagree with that.
I think that if a nation state were to hit us with a nuclear device, they could kiss their butts goodbye.
Do you understand that there might be a measured response?
In other words, China would hit us with, as he suggested, two nuclear weapons, and we, I think, then would respond, at least in the beginning, maybe in a measured way.
But on the other hand, maybe not so measured.
Maybe we would take all of their military capability away, and we'd do it with nuclear weapons, and that would be a lot.
That's a pretty dire prediction.
East of the Rockies, you are on the air.
Hi.
Good morning, Art.
Good morning, sir.
Where are you?
Indianapolis.
Okay, you're going to have to yell at me.
You're not too loud.
What cheery prediction do you have for us?
I predict that a biological attack on the United States will happen at the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympics in Utah.
Bioattack?
At Winter Olympics.
May I ask in what way this comes to you?
It's pretty hard for me to explain.
Every once in a while I get a gut feeling and usually when I pay attention to it, it turns out to be right.
So that's what it is, a gut instinct?
Yes.
I don't really know how to explain it any further.
Well, you don't have to.
A biological attack at the Winter Olympics?
There have been a number of people who have been concerned and worried about that.
Boy, the American people are in a bad mood, huh?
I don't think that we're in a bad mood.
I think that our foreign policy and the things that we do around the country is not appreciated, and I think that we've made a lot of enemies along the way.
I think that with what happened September 11th, kind of like, you know, The first punch has been thrown and now more people are going to throw punches.
You know, you've got to imagine that that could certainly be the case.
But you think it'll be all right?
Well, all right.
Thank you very much.
I guess I shouldn't say it bad, but that's really what it is.
Everybody's in a really, really bad mood, huh?
Or is it a realistic mood?
Dark, but realistic?
I don't know.
All of a sudden this year, going, or just before the beginning of the new year, everybody's worried about biological and nuclear attacks.
Guess I shouldn't be surprised, but it's pretty dark stuff, especially the biological part.
Yeah, I think a lot of people out there are being lulled into the it's all over syndrome.
You know, the last chase in the cave to cave for Osama bin Laden is underway and it's all going to be over, but probably is not true.
Incidentally, if you get the opportunity, with regard to what's going on in Afghanistan, the hunt for Bin Laden, all the rest of it, if you get a chance, watch the CBC, if you've got satellite, watch CBC News, and watch the BBC News.
And I say that not because we've got censored news, but we are to some degree propagandized by our own country.
The news that comes from Canada and comes from Great Britain really will give you a slightly different perspective.
It's really interesting the way they cover things and sometimes the depth to which they cover them.
The dispute, for example, between India and Pakistan and the way that is now being covered.
The BBC is covering it one way, we're covering it another.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hi.
Hi, Art.
This is Jesse from Etford, Oregon.
Hello, Jesse.
Well, I had a kind of strange prediction, kind of retort on what your past two colleagues were talking about, about these little stupid wars and things.
I don't think people realize that we're at an atomic stalemate.
I mean, everybody has nuclear weapons.
We can't really do anything to each other, but it's the story of the entire planet.
So, I mean, I think the United Nations is going to come in, and there's going to be citizens, and then there's going to be terrorists.
And we're all going to have world IDs, like international identification.
Well, which part?
I mean, you're making all kinds of statements here.
What do you wish to make a specific prediction?
I will only take one.
In the next five years, we're all going to have international identification.
No, I can't take that either.
This is a prediction for this coming year.
I don't have anything for this year.
Oh, you don't?
All right.
Well, I appreciate the call.
Thank you.
And you also have Hum on your phone.
ID cards within five years.
Well, I'm sorry.
I'm only doing predictions for the coming year.
This is the short term.
First-time caller line, you're on the air.
Hi.
Hello?
Hello.
Yes, is that Bill?
It would be me, yes.
Okay.
Turn your radio off, please.
Okay.
What is your first name?
I'm sorry?
You're obviously off, turning off the radio.
What is your first name?
Al.
Al, okay, and where are you?
I'm in Chatsworth, California.
Okay, your prediction will be number 20 if you have it.
Okay.
Oh, I'm just predicting, you know, I just have a gut feeling about this thing, that as soon as we relax, they're going to blow up an airline.
They're going to blow up a domestic airline.
Another plane to blow up?
Yeah.
You know, I think they can stop the hijacking, but what they're going to probably do, somebody's going to get aboard and have a baggage put in the airline like they normally do, and it's going to be plastic explosives.
I hope I'm wrong about this, but this is what I'm feeling.
When we let our guards down.
Well, you know, this guy who had the C-4 in his heels of his shoe?
Um, it's funny because he had gone to the airport the first day and they stopped him, asking him questions, but then they let him on the second day.
Yeah.
Yeah.
And, uh, you know, the idiot lit a match.
So he got caught that way.
But I mean, if he had known what he was doing, which he obviously didn't, he certainly would have blown up that airplane.
And I don't know how confident I am that security is working.
Well, I think it's only really so much they can do.
I think they're doing the best they can.
Oh, of course they are.
Yes.
But it may be, you know, mission impossible.
Yeah.
And if people want to give up their lives to take a plane out of the air, maybe there's hardly any way to stop it.
That's what I'm feeling.
You know, and like I said, I just have a gut feeling about this, but I hope I'm wrong.
Yeah, I doubt you are.
I appreciate the call.
Thank you.
Love you, too.
Thank you, sir.
I generally agree with that proposition.
He did get stopped and the plane didn't blow up, but it was close.
I mean, he got C4 on an airplane, for goodness sakes.
And then the next day, we're supposed to feel better by seeing some shoes, all by themselves, going through the scanning device.
Suddenly you had to take off your shoes and put them on the conveyor that goes through the scanner.
And I think that was supposed to make us feel better.
The fact of the matter is, if people really want to give up their lives, you know, commit suicide, take a plane out, it is really, really hard to stop them.
East of the Rockies, you are on the air.
Cheerio.
Hello?
Yes.
Yes, sir.
Yes.
Wow, this is incredible.
Yes, my prediction is, I listened to your show with Mr. Hatchman, and my prediction will be that Catholicism will be in resurgence, especially with regard to Mary.
Also, I have a recommended guest for you, now that Fr.
Malachi Martin is no longer with us, and that would be Fr.
Benedict Groeschel.
He has written many books.
Just email me how to get hold of him, and you think he would be a really interesting guest?
Oh, he absolutely would be.
Why?
Oh, he's written so many books.
Many, in fact, more books than Father Malachi Martin.
And he's also very ecumenical.
What is happening now with the Catholic Church?
Is it in a resurgence?
Are all churches now in a resurgence?
I think that the Catholic Church is in a resurgence.
Absolutely, and I think that John Paul, too, has so much to do with it.
I think he will go down as one of the doctors of the church in the future.
The effect that he's had in the last twenty-some years is enormous, and Fr.
Groeschel is so cognizant of Of all these aspects, as well as other religions, he's really a student of all the world's religions.
Sold.
Sold.
You get me information on how to contact him, and I will do it.
It's artbell at mindspring.com.
Very good.
Okay?
Alright.
Thank you very much.
Would very much like to have somebody of that stature on the program talk about the state of the church.
Allen Malakai, Martin Boy, he really was something, wasn't he?
Just an amazing, amazing, amazing man.
I'm so honored that I had such a close relationship with him and got to interview him as many times as I did.
He was just an amazing, has to be one of the amazing men of the century, really.
West of the Rockies, you are on the air.
Hello.
Oh yes, is this on now?
It is indeed, yes sir.
Where are you?
My name is Ray.
I'm calling from Nikaya, California.
Okay, Ray, your prediction, if you're making one, number 22.
Okay, my prediction is that by July, I'm predicting a great modern revival like we've never seen before.
This is going to be greater than the Azusa Street Miracle.
A great what?
A spiritual, religious revival?
Yes.
I mean, amongst all this bad turmoil and everything that I'm hearing, this is what I'm predicting is going to be happening by July.
And what do you think will... that's interesting... What do you think will bring this on?
Well, with all this war and stuff going on, I think everything that's going on in the world is going to be bringing families and everybody else back together.
I mean, I see some of it happening Since the 9-11 situation that took place.
All right, well listen, your prediction is a lot like the last one.
That's very good.
Okay, I'll put it down.
That's number 22, also saying a great spiritual revival is almost upon us.
That's actually kind of positive stuff, isn't it?
I'm Art Bell.
This is Coast to Coast AM.
You're listening to Art Bell Somewhere in Time on Premier Networks.
Tonight, an encore presentation of Coast to Coast A.M.
from December 27th, 2001.
His heart in every line.
Marley, Marley.
Play of joy and pain.
He opens up our minds And I still can hear Him say Oh, talk to me, don't you...
I never dreamed that I'd lose somebody like you No, I don't want to fall in love
No, I don't want to fall in love With you.
With you.
With you With you
What a wicked game to play To make me feel this way
What a wicked thing to do To let me dream of you
You're listening to Art Bell Somewhere In Time on Premiere Networks
Tonight, an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from December 27th, 2001.
Most of the predictions we're getting are pretty dire.
And these supposed good ones are really what happens when dire stuff occurs.
You know, when a lot of really dire stuff happens, people rush to the churches.
So a big spiritual revival is not out of the question.
But think of what brings it on.
I'm Art Bell.
Well, the predictions from all of you continue in a moment.
You're listening to Art Bell Somewhere In Time on Premier Networks.
Tonight, an Encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from December 27th, 2001.
Welcome back now into the land of predictions.
And actually, we all are doing as well as some who predict for a living.
But I'm not surprised at that.
I mean, this audience, you would expect to be, you know, a little bit above average when it comes to predictive ability, and so far so good.
Actually, every year a little better.
First time caller line, you are on the air.
Hi.
Hello.
Hello.
Hi, Art.
Hi.
Yeah, I want to predict that A catastrophic event of some sort will happen that will usher in a great revival.
The guy that was on before me kind of stole my idea, but I've been having this feeling for quite a while now, and I think it'll happen this year.
Okay, but you think a catastrophe of some sort, even greater than 9-11, is going to bring it in?
I'm not going to say exactly what it is, but a catastrophic event will happen this year, and the only thing that people will have left to do is to call on their maker.
Well, we're in a dire mood, aren't you?
Yes.
I appreciate the call.
Thank you.
A very dire mood.
Yes, it's 9-11.
I don't know.
You should not ignore this, though.
When this many people are saying stuff this dark, and even when the positive people are saying, well, it'll be a good thing coming out of darkness, then they're all really saying the same thing.
And when this many people say anything, you had better take notice.
I'm certainly beginning to.
On the wildcard line, you're on the air.
Hello.
Hey Art, it's Steven from Evansville, Indiana again.
Hello.
I have a question for you.
Yes.
Did you hear today that there was a solar explosion, and not a solar flare, but a solar explosion that's supposed to create Aurora Borealis as far down as the Midwest?
You know, I did hear something about that.
I'm looking at the x-ray flux right now.
There was an M-flare that we had just a very few minutes ago within the hour.
Then there was a gigantic M-flare, and that's all I see here.
Now, explosion-wise, I'm not exactly sure that I have a website that shows explosions.
I wonder what that would mean, though, what an explosion would mean.
I mean, I know about solar flares, but I... Well, flares are a kind of explosions.
However, I will tell you this, oh my God, I'm looking at the index, the solar index right now, and it's 2... Holy mackerel, it's 275.
That's astounding.
200, holy mackerel.
You know, when I was in the Navy in the late 70s, I was a Morse code operator, but we also had satellite systems, and whenever there was a solar flare, we had what was called scintillation, and it completely knocked out our satellite systems.
And I was wondering, how come that doesn't happen anymore?
I mean, I don't ever hear anything about satellite systems really being knocked out.
Well, it could still happen with a megaflare, and we did have one megaflare.
Thank God it didn't hit Earth.
One of the reasons would be because we now have much higher powered satellites than, you know, those days.
Right, right.
And it's much harder for the energy from the sun to overwhelm such a strong signal.
But believe me, we could have one that could kill virtually all the satellites exposed to it.
No doubt about it.
Well, this one was supposed to be some kind of huge solar explosion and Alright, let's see what we can find out.
Yeah, I heard some stuff about that.
Boy, oh boy, some of these counts are absolutely amazing.
There were some rounded counts earlier in the day of 290.
I just wonder if any other callers might have...
All right, let's see what we can find out.
Yeah, I heard some stuff about that.
Boy, oh boy, some of these counts are absolutely amazing.
There were some rounded counts earlier in the day of 290.
Holy moly.
The sun really has been at minor to major storm levels.
Right now, major storm.
There's a lot going on in the sun, as I've been telling you, and we should be in a decline right now, and yet it's rivaling the top of the cycle.
Strange stuff.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello.
Yes, sir.
Hi.
This is James, coming from Alabama.
Hello, James.
Yes, I predict that in the next year that we're going to see a vast increase in the number of UFO sightings and alien abductions.
Really?
Yes, and I believe that one of the people that will be abducted will be the President.
Oh, now that certainly would get everybody's attention.
And because of this, the CIA and the government decide that It's time to come clean with the general public as far as the existence of aliens and the UFO technology.
So not only will they have to come in front of the American people, somebody like Alex Haig, no doubt.
Right.
Saying, listen, we've decided we've got to come clean.
Not only are there aliens and UFOs, but one of them appears to have taken our president.
Right.
That's one hell of a prediction, sir.
I see that happening next year.
How did this come to you?
Well, I've been... I mean, as predictions go, this one is, you know, way over the edge.
Right, right.
Well, I've... I've been kind of... Well, I'm a fan of the genre anyway, as far as, you know, UFOs' existence.
Are they out there?
Well, we know they are, but, you know... And if you look at the past few years, you can tell there's been a definite increase.
It goes through peaks and valleys, so to speak.
Now, having had an opportunity to observe George Bush under fire, you know, going through the war and everything.
Right.
How do you think he'll do when he's on the table?
That I don't know.
But I think, I think he'll still be the president as far as his attitude.
So he'll take it, whatever it is, presidentially?
Yes.
All right.
That's the damnedest one I've had yet, but I appreciate it.
It's number 24.
Remember that number.
Okay.
All right.
Take care.
That would do it all right.
The president has been taken by aliens.
I am now in charge.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello.
Thanks, Art.
This is Joe in Tucson, Arizona, listening on KNST 790.
Yes, sir.
Well, I have a prediction for the coming year.
Okay.
And that is that this will be the year, 2002 that is, will be the year when the discovery is made of a near-Earth asteroid, you know, one of the Earth-approaching minor planets, that will require what's called in the field mitigation.
That is, some kind, it will require some sort of deflection, you know, using One of the competing technologies to do that.
Now, I don't mean to stir anybody up or shake anybody up, but, you know, all over the net right now, there are all kinds of really, really, really strong rumors about scientists having detected something that we haven't all been told about yet.
You've been given that, too?
Well, I tell you what, I work in that field.
I'm one of the professionals who works in the minor planet That is, in the near-Earth asteroid.
Are you really?
Yeah, here in the Arizona desert, right, using two telescopes on a high mountain here.
Okay.
Anyway, I'm making this prediction... Wait, wait, wait, wait.
Do you know more than you're telling us right now?
No, sir.
No, no, no.
Absolutely not.
This is strictly off the cuff.
You know, it's more by feeling than by...
Nothing that you... ...any sort of discovery, but it is informed a little bit, Art, by some experience in the field and the very fact that, you know, discoveries have been becoming more frequent because the technology is getting so good now to detect these things.
You know, CCD detectors are... Sure, sure, sure.
...blowing every other technology out of the water and have for a dozen or two dozen years now.
Well, there have been some movies, as you know, made of this sort of thing now.
If something like this were detected coming at the Earth that would do substantial damage, ranging from not too much to ending all life at the microbial level, what would happen politically?
Would it be announced?
Would you all tell before the President did, or would you go straight to the government, or would the government come straight to you, or what would happen?
Oh, there's a very, very well-established protocol for this now.
It's been formulated over years and
In general the data is sent to the minor planet center each and every night that we're out there observing
Right, and that's at Harvard Harvard University. We email all the data to them
Yeah, but assuming that you got the the Wow citing and you you saw something that was likely headed our way
What do you think would happen when you sent that in and they confirmed it?
In other words, what do you think the chain of events would be?
Would we be told right away or not?
Yes, in fact, sometimes even some rather half-baked orbits leak out, you know, even before there's sufficient data to make an accurate projection.
Right.
And there's no way to stop that because it's, you know, information is free to flow and it must do so in the field.
Yeah, there have been a number of false alarms.
Yeah, that's embarrassing but it's really nobody's fault.
The fact is that an orbit can become much more precise overnight just by one extra observation or perhaps one of our colleagues could Look back and find the object on a photographic plate made in 1970.
Certainly the orbit is extraordinarily precise because we have a long lever arm on it.
Right, gotcha.
Now, with regard to mitigating something that might be coming our way in some way, do we have the ability right now to really do anything?
If a big rock was headed toward Earth, what could we do?
I would say the technologies are there.
In other words, we are a technological society, and I should say technological enough, to carry this out.
It's just that I don't think that there is the political infrastructure, or even the relationship among governments, to actually carry this off, at least smoothly, okay?
We have seen, you know, since September 11th, that certain very difficult things can be done, you know, In this, you know, through our own government and through international relations.
So if there's a sufficient need, things can get done.
But the fact is that, you know, it's been pretty rocky.
A little pun?
Yeah.
Here's one for you.
If the rock, or whatever it was, and as it got closer, certainly the point of impact could be determined, right?
Yes, but that would require probably Well, that might require what's called a couple of oppositions, you know.
It might take about two years or more to really pin it down.
Accumulate the data.
Accumulate the precise observations.
Precise positional observations.
If once we determined precisely where it was going to fall, if it was going to fall on China, would we... Oh, that sounds like a cat.
Yeah, I have a bunch here.
A bunch.
If it was going to fall on China, would we attempt to mitigate it?
Uh, I think wherever it falls on the Earth, Art, and this is why we have to take this threat so seriously in general.
I'm not saying there's a specific one now.
I don't want to give any false alarms.
If one is to fall anywhere on Earth, it must be mitigated regardless of the locale, because even if it falls in the ocean, because... Bad news for everybody.
You know, an object of sufficient size would simply take out the biosphere for about 10 years.
And that means we go with it.
We go with it.
So it would have to be an international effort of some kind.
It would, indeed.
All right.
You stay in touch with me.
The big players, of course, will have to take the biggest part in it.
In other words, the U.S., Russia, probably China.
Will you put me on the first contact list, please?
Well, I tell you what, the Minor Planet Center will probably be the very first, and you'll be a close second, okay?
You got it.
I think you're doing great work, Art.
Take care.
Take care.
How interesting.
How very interesting.
He's part of the team that's out there looking for one of those rocks that might be headed our way.
Now, even after making that request and getting that gracious answer, I'm not sure that I believe it.
But he is certainly right about the false alarms.
They have been getting out.
But they've all been downstream.
You know, in 30 years, this might happen.
In 100 years, that might happen.
Nobody has yet said, oh my God, look, six months.
That's the one you've got to really worry about.
I wonder if he'd really call me.
I can hope.
West of the Rockies, you are on the air.
Hello.
Hi, Mark.
Hello.
Hello, let me turn down the radio because I can't listen to you and dial both.
No, that's true, you can't.
Turn it off all the way, actually.
I've got it off all the way.
Where are you?
I'm calling from Seattle, Washington.
Okay, Seattle.
Yeah, Diane.
Okay, Diane.
Okay, um, you want predictions?
Uh, if you've got them, I'll take them.
It would be number, it'll be number 26.
Okay, well, actually, they're just two little ones.
I can only, I can only take one.
Okay, we'll do a fun one because I'm so tired of hearing of all this dire stuff.
Pretty rough stuff, huh?
Oh, you know, everybody says something's going to happen, but they can't tell you why they know.
I think Ellen DeGeneres is going to, and this is a fun one, is going to do a lot of fill-in work for David Letterman, and soon she will take over the Tonight Show.
Really?
David Letterman.
I think with her performance, oh and thank you for that response, I think her performance, I think maybe there are already people who are saying this woman should have a talk show and it should go big time and it should go the night.
And who?
She will be the next one.
Really?
Yeah.
Ellen DeGeneres to take over the Tonight Show.
Yeah, well I think Letterman is about the closest to retire and maybe he'll start taking more time off.
Uh huh.
So he'll use her as a fill-in and I think she will be one of the biggest successes there Has been.
All right.
That's a very interesting prediction.
Oh, thank you.
Is that a bird I hear in the background?
No, it's my little dog.
I'm nursing her through a heart spell.
Oh, she doesn't sound well then.
She sounds more like a bird.
A bird.
Thank you for the prediction.
You're welcome, Art.
Take care.
Sorry about that.
That was a dog, huh?
Didn't sound too good.
First time caller on the air.
Hello.
Hello?
Yes, turn your radio off, please.
Okay.
Sorry.
Sorry.
Everybody does it.
Where are you?
I'm in Oklahoma City.
Oklahoma City.
All right.
Do you have a prediction?
Yes, I do.
A fairly simple prediction.
The whole doomsday, whatever, everybody thinks that we're going to see something drastic and nasty.
I don't believe that.
A good friend of mine explained to me very well one time.
He said that when you cook a frog, you don't throw him immediately into steaming hot water.
You turn the fire up.
Well, not unless, you know, he'll jump out if you do that.
Right, right.
He hates it.
So you understand.
Yeah, so you slowly get him hot.
I think that we as people here in the United States, specifically, are much the same.
The powers that be, the people who are controlling, you know, that's a whole other story.
They, I don't think that they're going to throw us into deep water.
I think they're going to gradually turn up the heat.
So I think we're going to see another ho-hum year, really.
I really do.
You know, you're the first one to predict that.
A calm, we'll put a calm, ho-hum year.
Yeah, well, I mean, we're going to see some more, probably some escalation of the problem that we have over in the Middle East right now.
But I don't think it's going to be anything drastic.
I mean, think about the big K.O.
punch that they threw us on 9-11.
Right.
I think that's what everybody is thinking about.
And I think that in combination with all the warnings we're getting and the worry about bioterrorism and nuclear weapons in India and Pakistan, you've got to admit, it's a pretty lousy atmosphere out there right now.
Yes, I'll admit that.
But you think, listen, I think your prediction is fine.
You think that it'll all turn around and be relatively eh?
No, I don't think the conditions are necessarily getting better or leveling off.
I think that, you know, there's a lot more control.
No, that's fair.
I mean, we frogs are just getting a little warmer, that's all, right?
Yeah, and they're going to turn it up, and they'll turn it up, and they'll turn it up, and eventually we'll be cooked, but I don't think that we're going to be cooked all at one time.
So, are you a fairly warm frog right now?
You know, I am the coolest frog on the block.
Yeah, but that's because you're in the pot, and it's low-heating, and you don't know.
I mean, that's your own theory.
I'm turning back on you there.
I'm Art Bell, and this is Coast to Coast AM, roaring through the nighttime, doing predictions.
Hope you get a chance to make yours.
Number 28 is going to be next.
Stay right where you are.
The trip back in time continues, with Art Bell hosting Coast to Coast AM.
More, somewhere in time, coming up.
You know I need your love.
You've got that hold over me.
Darling, I got your love.
You know that I'll never leave.
When I wanted you...
I'm a fool for you...
I followed the 53's beat...
...and I'm a fool for you...
Night from the neon turned the stars to day...
We were too hot to stay sleeping...
We had to get out before the magic got away...
We were in love with goodnight...
Hanging in the shadows...
From the red light...
To the morning light...
We were running...
Running in the night...
So good girl...

Good morning.

New Year's Eve will be the last time we'll take predictions, and it all gets sealed in the Bell family vault.
For another year.

Back now to predictions.
And it really is true.
I was saying that during the commercial break.
I don't know if you caught it, but Online ordering, you know, ordering on the web and ordering through catalogs, is up about 33% for the year.
Are you amazed at that figure?
I'm not.
I don't know about America becoming isolationist, but since 9-11, Americans have become kind of isolationist.
And they're not really leaving home, and if they are not very far, very few are flying, and a lot are ordering on the web.
So the revolution is well underway, probably given a big spike by what happened on 9-11.
People are not really leaving home.
I wonder when that will really change.
West of the Rockies, you are on the air.
Hi.
Hello.
Hello.
Yes, hi.
Hi, Art.
Hello.
This is Kathy in Phoenix.
Hi, Kathy.
Just meant to do you on KFYI.
Sure.
I've got a prediction.
All right.
And one of your callers said that people don't say how they know.
I dream things.
Okay.
This is what I have dreamed.
All right.
Do your dreams frequently come true?
Always come true?
Once in a while come true?
Almost always come true.
Almost always.
All right.
With that in mind, what have you dreamt?
I have dreamt, and I don't know if it's natural or unnatural as in man-made, That there will be a disaster in Mexico that will result in the U.S.
having to close the border and set up guards along the border.
Wow.
And I've seen a lot of fire and a lot of darkness, but I don't know if it was natural or man-made.
Holy smokes.
You know, your prediction coincides with one made by Sean David Morton about Mexico City.
Really?
Yeah.
Um, I'm not sure he made it for this coming year, but, uh... I mean, you could be right.
There could be something that would happen in Mexico that would be so dire that the border would be so flooded that we would virtually have no choice, I suppose.
That's what I'm dreaming.
You know?
Yeah.
Bad dream.
Alright, thank you.
Okay.
Alright, bad dream.
Americans are just in a really dire mood.
And that certainly is a possibility.
You know, it may be But so many people thought that, you know, the kind of thing that happened on 9-11 never, not, could never really happen.
I mean, even I thought that.
Somewhere in my heart of hearts, I just, I never imagined that the heart of New York City could be struck the way it was.
That two great buildings that seemed sinkable, you know, like the Titanic, would be sunk.
I mean, it's just beyond all Imagination.
You could not concoct a horror movie with greater special effects, only it was real.
And so, maybe now that something of that magnitude has occurred, people suddenly feel free to let go of what they've been thinking.
I don't know.
But I'm noticing a marked difference in the kind of predictions we're getting.
First time caller line, you're on the air.
Hi, this is Rob.
Calling from KSFO in San Francisco.
Okay, how are you doing?
Oh, terrific.
How are you doing?
Good, good.
Your prediction, if you have one, will be number 29.
Okay, I predicted under our president, George W. Bush, that we're going to go into a period of extended enlightenment and prosperity with racial equality, and the United States is going to influence the whole world.
I don't have these dire predictions that other people have.
Why do you think everybody is so dire?
Well, everything from war to comets hitting the Earth.
I study astronomy and engineering and science and politics.
There's probably a long shot chance, there's a very, very long shot chance that we're going to have a meter hit the Earth or something like that.
I think that the way our president is handling things is just the latest thing of his relationship with China.
He's going to head off having... We just normalized relations.
Yes, I think he'll head off.
I was always fearful of China, but I think he's going to head it off.
I've just been reading about him, following him, and listening to What he said and what he did in Texas before he was president.
Everyone's been bashing him, but this guy's extremely capable.
He's actually had pretty good days lately.
Since the war I think he's getting pretty high marks.
Yeah, well he's getting high marks because of the tragedy we've had, but even if we hadn't had that tragedy, this guy's got the capability I don't think I've seen in any of our Okay, well, the only warning that I would serve you up is that, yes, he's getting very high marks right now, and he's done very well in responding to what happened on that fateful day.
But, but, but, the economy right now is in trouble.
Well, you know... And, you know, traditionally, you know when economies get in trouble, so do presidents.
Well, I suppose that can happen, but, you know, I hear...
Follow the market also, and... Oh, it can happen.
I mean, you could ask his dad, you could ask Jimmy Carter, you could ask a lot of people, you know.
It can happen.
Well, I think that it's going to turn around, and I think there's already indicators that the Democrats... And I used to be a Democrat.
I'm living in San Francisco.
There's only Democrats in San Francisco, I guess.
Pretty much.
Pretty much.
And I just... I no longer believe that they're for the...
The small people are for the working people, and they've just changed their attitude.
And what they've gone through lately, they're causing us to have this economic problem.
Because they want to get re-elected, and I guess you can't blame them for that.
Do they still burn people in San Francisco?
Burn people?
Yeah.
No, I don't remember that.
No?
Well, okay.
Then I guess you're safe.
Otherwise, I'd say you're a candidate for the stake.
Well, I keep it arm's length.
I have no connection with Bush or politics.
I don't run for politics.
It's not my business.
I'm just saying this all on my own.
It's my intuition, really.
You're in enemy territory there.
Well, I don't know.
I think there's a lot of people changing their mind, actually.
All right, sir.
I appreciate the call.
A lot of rethinking going on in San Francisco, huh?
George Bush to lead us to prosperity.
I'm sorry, I don't have that feeling.
And I don't think it's George Bush's fault, particularly.
I really don't.
I just think that we're in that cycle.
You know, there's a cycle.
The economy has a cycle.
And George Bush's dad got caught in the down part of the cycle, and George is getting caught in it, too.
Whether it will stick or not, or what happened with 9-11 will eclipse whatever bad news there is about the economy.
People normally blame it on the President.
Maybe they will not do so this time, but that would be historical change.
Wild Card Line, you're on the air.
Hello.
This is Norm in San Diego, Coco Radio.
Yes, sir.
Art, you sound the same on the phone as you do on the radio.
I got the radio shut off and I'm listening to you on the phone and it sounds exactly the same.
That's something that nobody ever says.
It's absolutely true.
I've been listening to you since the days of K-Dawn.
When the toilet overflowed and you were getting all that water down into the studio.
And I remember the glue on the lip.
Yeah, you've been there a while.
How's Comet doing and the other kitty cats?
They're all just fine.
Happy New Year to you, Ramona, and the kitty cats.
I have a prediction.
And it will be number 30.
Israel will find the Ark of the Covenant.
Ooh.
And when they find it, because it's a promise from God to them, they will not reveal the contents to the world.
Really?
If you were standing in front of the Ark of the Covenant, and you had an opportunity to open it, there it would be.
All you would have to do would be to reach down and open it.
Would you do that?
No, sir.
What I would do is I'd go back to my Bible and look up Revelations.
Because I don't think it's my purpose to open up the Ark of the Covenant.
Well, you could look at it a different way.
If you had an opportunity to somehow be right in front of it, and it was there to be opened, then you might feel differently.
If there was an angel standing by my right side, maybe I'd stay there to see it be opened.
But I do believe Israel will find it this coming year.
It is possible.
And they will not reveal the contents to the world.
There are others, you know, who say it's already been found and is being guarded now.
I do believe that it's not been found yet, and I do believe it's intended for these Israeli people.
They're going to find it, and when they do, they'll keep the contents to themselves, at least for the time being, and they ain't going to reveal it to the world.
They may reveal it to the Pope, maybe the Pope, and then he'll keep the secret.
But anyway, it's been fun listening to you since, my gosh, way back when.
Alright, sir.
I appreciate the call.
Thank you.
Israel will find the Ark of the Covenant.
You know, there are many who feel it's already been found and is under guard, and I'm sure those guards think that's what they're guarding.
Steve in Brighton fast blasts me the following, and several people have done the same, so I'm sure it is so.
Steve says, Solar blast.
Twisted magnetic fields above sunspot group 9742 erupted December 26.
The blast sparked an hours-long M7 class solar flare and hurled a bright coronal mass ejection CME into space.
Now, whether or not it is headed for us, I don't know.
But if people are predicting Aurora, that sounds like it is.
I'm not surprised.
Our sun is really going berserk.
And again, you will all note, so is the Earth right now.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello.
Hello, Sir Jane Lee.
Yes, hi there.
Hi, from Lebanon, Virginia.
Okay.
I look forward to that Aurora Borealis.
Oh, you do?
Yeah, I saw it the first time in November.
Amazing, huh?
Yes.
My prediction is that there will be increasing international cooperation between the United States and Russia.
Okay.
And will help to mitigate the situation between Pakistan and India.
Do you think that Russia and the U.S.
have the power to virtually tell them they will not go to war?
I don't know if they have the power to prevent, but they certainly have a lot of influence.
I had a dream 25 years ago about Pakistan and India.
And that dream was?
There was a nuclear exchange.
Oh, really?
Yes.
And Pakistan hit India.
Oops.
Mistake.
Oops.
No.
And sent back.
I think with nuclear weapons, oops is not responded too well.
No.
But in that dream, Russia and the United States did work together.
Uh-huh.
Well, we could work together to perhaps see to it that whatever happened there would not become global.
There was a guy who called earlier and said, you know, if it happens, let him go at it.
Well, I think he has an unpleasant surprise if he decides just to let go, let everything else in the world go to pot.
While he sits back in his chair, he'll find it comes back.
Well, all right.
I appreciate the call.
Thank you.
Damned if we do and damned if we don't.
In other words, if we go out and get involved in the world, then we are the big bad interventionists Uh, adventuresome U.S.
The same old U.S.
Aggressive, adventuresome, troublemaking, invasionary, whatever words you want to use.
That's how we're looked at by a lot of countries.
Now, if we were to sit back and not do much of anything, we would be responsible for the chaos of the world.
Can't win, can you?
West of the Rockies, you are on the air.
Good morning.
Good morning.
Turn your radio off, please.
I just did.
Where are you?
Kennewick, Washington.
This is Victor.
I had a question for you before I make a prediction here.
Over the years, how many of the listeners' predictions have actually come to pass?
Well, you know what?
I haven't totaled them up.
Well, each year.
You know, all the years.
But the audience in the beginning years did very poorly, if I'm recalling correctly.
I can't give you exact numbers because I've never added it all up.
But this year so far, they're doing remarkably well.
Now, a person might suggest that this audience as a whole is becoming somewhat more psychic.
I believe that's happening worldwide, actually.
You do?
I've noticed I've had a lot more dreams about stuff that's actually come to pass and visions and things like that.
Well, do you have one specific dream or vision that you are prepared to turn into a prediction?
Well, yeah.
I'm not going to predict the exact day or time because the Bible says I can't, but I believe we're going to see the return of the King.
The Lord comes back?
Yes.
And that you believe will occur next year?
Lord returns next year.
We're going to find a bunch of... What kind of mood will he be in?
He's going to come twice, of course.
He's going to come and take the church out of here.
I guess he's going to be in okay mood then.
I'm not clear on that part.
He's going to take the church out?
Yeah.
Believers.
Oh, you mean the great sucking up of believers?
Yeah, the rapture.
The rapture, yes.
Okay, I see.
And then he's going to be in a bad mood the next time.
When he comes back, yeah, seven years later, he's going to be real tipped off.
I was going to use another word, but we're on the radio.
Yeah, that's the Lord we're talking about.
And he's going to be not in a good mood.
He has justifiable retribution.
He doesn't get ticked off or worse.
Not when we're talking about the Lord.
We get ticked off.
He has justifiable retribution.
And he visits it on us in ways of locusts and water turning to blood and stuff like that.
But he's not ticked off.
He's just, it's justifiable retribution.
From the high desert, this is Coast to Coast AM.
I'm Art Bell.
You are listening to Art Bell Somewhere in Time on Premier Networks.
Tonight an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from December 27th, 2001.
Everybody's looking for something. Some of them want to use you.
Some of them want to get used by you. Some of them want to abuse you.
Some of them want to be abused.
Sweet dreams are made of these. Who am I to disagree?
We travel the world and the seven seas. Everybody's looking for something.
Coast to Coast AM, December 27th, 2001.
Green, green, it's green they say on the far side of the hill.
Green, green, I'm going away to where the grass is greener still.
Oh, well I told my mama on the day I was born, don't you cry when you see I'm gone.
You know there ain't no woman gonna settle me down I just gotta be travelin' on A-singin' Green, green, it's green day today On the far side of the hill Green, green, I'm goin' away To where the grass is greener too Now there ain't nobody in this whole wide world Gonna tell me how to spend my time I'm just a good-lovin', ramblin' man Say, buddy, can you spare me a dime?
Hear me cryin' at the... Green, green, it's green day On the far side of the hill Green, green... You're listening to Art Bell, Somewhere in Time, on Premier Network.
Tonight, an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from December 27, 2001.
I'm playing cheerful songs, trying to sort of get you in a mood to make cheerful predictions, but it's just not working.
And if it keeps going this way, I'm going to just join you and play Barry Maguire or something.
You know, I am not, let me repeat this, I am not taking predictions by Fast blast.
And I'm getting a million of them, and I'm just not taking them.
They're not going to be put down.
I'm sorry.
Ditto for those that are emailed.
Not taking them that way.
Only those made so the entire audience can hear them are the ones that I will put down on the official sheet.
Now, bearing in mind that those predictions made last year were made prior to the 9-1-1 events, let us quickly check some more made last year.
Number 19.
Telepathy will increase this year.
Did telepathy increase this year?
I'm going to say bonk.
No.
I'm going to be pretty hard on these predictions, or those who would say it did increase, but it's an argument.
Number 20.
order that he's out of order here we go twenty
george w bush those on the air and pays two point four offers two point five
trillion dollars to buy
side area bonk
and Anyway, the Russians have learned that they don't make good deals with us.
I mean, look what happened with Alaska.
Number 21, that babies will be born with higher IQs.
And, you know, I'm really tempted to give this... I'm going to give this one a qualified ding, ding, ding.
I've had a number of guests who have cited studies showing that is indeed occurring.
And then, I'm not sure about this one.
Dennis Rodman gets into politics.
I believe that's a bonk.
Maybe I'm wrong.
Is he into politics somehow?
Number 23 is another virus will be released.
Or there will be a viral release in the US.
This one is going to have to get a ding, ding, ding, ding.
After all, look at what has happened.
For 24, that New York will sweep it in sports.
Look what happened in the Super Bowl.
Number 25 says that Art Bell will be offered a TV show.
Ding, ding, ding, ding.
Not only was I offered one, but I was offered actually quite a number of them.
Turn them all down.
Number 26 is that there would be a newsworthy fiasco, something that would be life-threatening.
Oh boy, you gotta ding that one.
9-11 dings that one for sure.
Number 27, the Antichrist returns.
Now, I'm not sure what to do with this.
I'm going to be tough and bonk it.
The Antichrist is not known to have returned.
There are many who say that the Antichrist lives now.
That the Antichrist is of age now, and is alive in the world, but I don't know it to be a fact.
So I'm going to tentatively bonk it, and that was number 27 made last year.
We now continue, or in a moment, excuse me, in a moment, we will continue with predictions for 2002.
You are listening to Art Bell, Somewhere in Time, on Premier Networks.
Tonight, an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from December 27th, 2001.
27th, 2001.
Alright, I've reviewed 27 predictions made last year for this year,
at the end of last year, and you know what?
I think I've been fairly tough on the people, and you all would be 11 for 27.
11 for 27, now that's damn good.
It's not good if you're talking about a 50-50 guess on something.
But, if you're talking about a specific prediction, something randomly plucked from the ether, That you think is going to occur during any given year, I would say 11 for 27 is almost too good.
Really almost too good.
So, bearing that in mind, and bearing in mind the nature of the majority of the predictions that we've been getting so far, It could be a pretty rough year, that's all I'll say.
First time caller line, you're on the airline.
This is Austin in Indianapolis, listening to you on WIBC at AM 1070.
Yes, sir, welcome.
It's the first time I've called, I've listened to your show for six years, and I enjoy it.
Well, I'm glad.
I wanted to clarify one thing that Sean David Morton was talking about last night, and that's the ten nation configuracy.
Uh, has been referred to a number of times by a number of your guests, ostensibly thinking in terms of the, uh, the European Union, but that, that I don't believe is correct.
There is a 10 nation configuracy envisioned by a group called the World Parliamentary Organization, whose spokesperson was none other than Mikhail Gorbachev about five years ago.
Uh, they have a, uh, constitution drawn.
And their goal is to establish a world government through the auspices of the United Nations.
Do you think a world government would automatically be a bad thing?
Taken in context with the biblical prophecies, The outcome of it is fairly certain.
The fact is that they have divided the world into ten regions.
Right.
And I think that's significant because here you have the number that equates with the prophecy that you referred to quite a number of times on your show.
Oh, yes.
Now, as far as a prediction for this year, I truly believe that given a biblical insight into the Yes, I do not believe that we're in that period in which we're going to have all of this gloom and doom.
Therefore, you have to agree we're in a state of heightened alert right now.
cannot believe that we're in that period in which we're going to have all of this gloom
and doom.
Therefore, we have to, you have to agree we're in a state of heightened alert right now.
Well, I agree.
I don't yet hear a prediction here, but I agree.
Well, given that fact, I think that we're going to see some prosperity right around the corner.
In fact, a tremendous upsurge in prosperity.
I think that things are going to not only calm down, but actually speed up in terms of our economic growth.
I think that we're going to see the deal with China result in That peace and safety that we were just talking about.
All right, got it.
Prosperity is just around the corner.
And the deal with China is going to lead us there.
Now, I don't know about that.
I do know that, and I've spoken of this many times before I was in China, you know, in Hong Kong and then up into communist China.
If you had been with me or seen what I had seen, it would have scared the you-know-what out of you.
The amount of commerce going on there.
Not to be believed.
Not to be believed.
Lines of trucks carrying goods.
And I passed 40 miles of factories, you know, on either side of the street.
Factory after factory, it would remind you of the U.S.
in the industrial, in the very height of the industrial age, you know, when all the steel mills were really cranking and everything.
It would remind you of that.
It was pretty scary stuff, considering the number of people in China, the abilities they have, and all the rest of it.
We are either going to join them economically, or they are going to pass us like a turtle.
We're going to be crawling along like a turtle and they're going to go right past us, so something is going to have to happen.
And it may be that George Bush has the vision to somehow get along with China and have everybody economically prosper.
That would be much better than the alternative.
That's for sure.
Wild Card Line, you're on the air.
Hello Art.
Hi.
I think that we're going to see at least two, probably a lot more people get arrested and run through the ringer very similar fashion to Kevin Mitnick and Dmitry Sklyarov.
So more hackers busted?
Mm-hmm.
I'd love to explain in detail why I think this, but that would take Most of the show.
No, I think your prediction is probably a pretty sound one, considering how much of our economy is turning toward the Internet and e-commerce, then I would imagine any threat to that would be responded to, you know, with all guns blazing.
They're probably going to get a more serious treat, more serious and... Yeah, I mean, it's a foregone conclusion.
So, more hackers busted.
I would agree with that.
And it's inevitable, isn't it?
If so much of our economy is going to be based on e-commerce, then in order to make people comfortable with that economy, with that reality, that's what it is, it's a reality, anybody who threatens that will be treated like a bank robber.
And that's not so far off base, really, right?
Robbing banks.
It's the modern version of going into a bank and say, stick them up.
Though I would imagine they're going to get very tough.
They're going to protect the economy.
We're in a nation that protects its economy, wherever it may go and whatever it may be, and that's always changing, so sure.
I bet you're right.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello.
Hello?
Yes, hello.
Hello, I'm sorry.
I want to predict that prediction number 24 would be wrong.
on WLAC 1510.
That was a gentleman who predicted a vast increase in UFOs and abductions and told him more that the President of the United States would be abducted.
Right?
Right.
So you're saying prediction 24 is wrong?
No, I'm not going on.
That's not my prediction.
I just wanted to To keep him from pulling down the average of next year's correct predictions.
I understand how you feel.
Mine would be right if I predicted that.
On the other hand... On the other hand, if she was right, I'd be wrong.
Alright.
No, my prediction is that in June of 2002 there will be an abnormally high birth rate.
Birth rate?
Uh, in June of 2002.
Uh, that's not exactly a hard thing to predict, is it?
And I know exactly how you're doing it.
It's not hard to figure out, is it?
No.
No.
I mean, uh, there's something about disaster that causes people to act like rabbits.
Basically.
I guess I didn't put that very tenderly.
Uh, but that's basically it.
Is that how you're basing it?
Safe bet.
Your prediction is recorded, sir.
Thank you.
All right.
Babies.
He's right, of course.
People feel threatened, and when they feel threatened, they get closer together.
And when they get closer together, well, they do what people do.
And so nine months from that time, there will be more babies born.
I'm sure he's exactly correct.
Probably a pretty safe prediction.
Just about June, huh?
I wonder if all the support companies for infants, you know, like formula makers, diaper producers, cradle makers, I mean, all the things that you need when you have a baby.
And boy, you need a lot of stuff that you never even knew existed.
You know, all these things you've got to get to boil sterilized bottles and nipples and it goes on and on and on.
I wonder if all of these companies, if their stock is up.
Anybody give that a thought?
It's like war after a war.
Boy, all of a sudden, baby boom.
That's why they call it the baby boom generation.
But I wonder if they're all ratcheting up for June.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello.
Hello, Art.
Yes, sir.
Hey, it's Mark in Venice, California.
Yes, Mark.
Listen, while I agree, there were some callers earlier in the show predicting a spiritual renaissance.
Yes.
I agree with them, but at the same time, I'm going to predict right now that Scientology will be fully exposed as a corrupt organization and it best be dismantled and at least lose its charitable status and suffer a huge crippling attrition rate.
No, that's not going to happen.
What do you think of L. Ron Hubbard's cosmology?
I think people are entitled to believe in that as much as anything else they want to believe in.
I agree with you there.
Live and let live and all that, but at the same time, I'm talking about human rights violations that are going to come to light.
You know, there's no gigantic amount of evidence about something like that.
but i've never really seen you know there's no gigantic amount of evidence that uh... about something like
that i've i've heard the rumors and and you hear that about every
religion that is not quite made it up there with the catholics and the
protestants you know and right the big ones
Personally, I don't hear these rumors, you know.
I tend to investigate them, and I really believe that, you know, the idea of religion for sale and using, you know, money that is tithe tax-free to pay lawyers to harass people like me, who would get on the air and talk about it, that's not charitable.
That's not... Why would they... Wait a minute.
Why would they harass you?
Well, because I'm speaking negatively or critically of Scientology, and that's part of L. Ron Hubbard's doctrine.
Anybody who speaks out against him, you know, can be... I mean, I can quote him, "...shall be disposed of quietly and without sorrow."
You know, I mean, it's rough stuff there, I'm telling you.
What did you think of his writings?
I've read his book.
I think it's... Look, I think there are things about Scientology Frankly, that are very beneficial.
I'm not a Scientologist, but I think that they're really on to something.
Right.
Well, you know, that's my prediction.
I think Scientology is going to go the way of Heaven's Gate.
All right.
Scientology... Let's see.
Scientology what?
Declines.
I'll be easy on you.
I don't think so, though.
You know, I've looked into Scientology, and as I told that man, there are good aspects of it, and in America, you're allowed to believe in whatever you want to believe in.
And if Scientology is your thing, then I don't know.
I don't have a problem with it.
Whether they're persecuting him personally or not, maybe.
Send me evidence, sir.
I'll look at it.
It's kind of hard to believe.
They're probably ignoring him.
Technology is very, very, very interesting.
First time caller line, you're on the air.
Hello.
Well, hi there, Art.
This is Sam in Fallsville, Washington.
Yes, Sam.
Caught in a security glitch on November 24th at the Sea-Tac airport.
You were?
Yeah, yeah.
It was a... You mean like they suspected you of something?
No, no, no, no.
What happened was that one of the concourses, the employees failed to plug in the metal detector at 7 o'clock.
Oh.
And so they had two hours of people going through.
Without being detected?
Yeah.
They brought four airplanes back that had been in the air for 30 minutes.
Holy smokes.
They brought us out.
That tells you what kind of a time we live in.
Holy mackerel.
Yeah, there was no sign of a plan, no sign of leadership.
It was pretty amazing.
Anyway, from that comes my prediction.
Yes.
By the end of 2002, if we want to fly an airplane, we'll be taken into little cubicles.
We'll have to undress in front of a registered nurse.
Strip search, right?
And then we'll be given, they'll take our clothes, shoes, and belongings, put them into Ziploc bags, into the hold of the airplane.
Yeah?
Then we'll be given little paper moomoos.
How about, oh no, not the paper things.
Well, unless you, you know... With the slit up the back, no.
No, no, no, no.
Probably not.
How about, how about like Roman Tobus?
Something along that line.
And little, you know, the surgical slippers.
And then we all get to go on the plane basically naked.
Well, it'll make flying a different kind of experience.
I think it'll be a great party myself.
But anyway, so this is something we have to look forward to.
I'd like to add just one thing.
I think one of your other people is right.
I don't think we're going to have any big trouble.
I think these guys have enough energy in them to make a big gesture every few years.
I sure hope it's a good year.
I really do.
Yeah, I think you can get it.
And so, Art, who knows, maybe we'll wind up Having a toga party on some flight.
You take care, sir.
I'm Art Bell.
Could he be right?
This is Premier Networks.
That was Art Bell hosting Coast to Coast AM on this Somewhere in Time.
I'm going to play a little bit of that.
You're listening to Art Bell's Somewhere in Time.
Tonight's broadcast of Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell was recorded on December 27th, 2001.
Now, sit back and relive what happened somewhere in time.
You know, sometimes you're just kind of in a Laila mood.
There's a whole thing.
It's a Laila mood thing.
This is such a great version of this, isn't it?
Good morning, everybody.
we're doing predictions you're listening to art bell somewhere in time on premier
networks Tonight, an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from December 27th, 2001.
First time caller line, you're on the air.
Hello.
Hello.
Hello?
No, I currently have one of the worst jobs in the world at this point.
I'm a customer service manager for a major airline.
Wow.
Yeah.
Are you really?
Yeah.
What's it like?
It's like the seventh ring of hell.
The seventh ring of hell?
It would be Club Med compared to this.
The job was... I'm sure things are bad.
The passengers that we have now, they say to the flying public that they're just not coming back, which really isn't true.
They're coming back, and they're coming back meaner.
Meaner?
Meaner.
I had a 92-year-old woman flying from Newark to Palm Beach last week, and I was speaking with her and assigning her bulkhead seats because she uses a walker.
Right.
And she let me know that she would prefer to have an aisle seating just in case anything happens.
Because at her retirement community that she stayed at, they had a self-defense instructor come in, and she knows how to disable a man with her walker.
So she was prepared to take down anybody causing trouble with her walker?
Oh, she's ready to roll.
She's on it.
She's on it.
And the majority of the passengers feel the same way.
They're becoming a lot more in tune with their surroundings.
Well, I think, you know, there's a change in psychology Surely it did used to be, everybody keep quiet, be calm, the plane will be taken to its hijacked location and everybody will be cool.
Now, for the most part, I think passengers have figured out they'll die.
They figured it out on that fourth plane.
So you might as well take your best shot.
And actually, it's been working.
You know, it's been working.
So you think people are getting We're getting a lot more savvy.
They're being a lot more in tune with their surroundings now.
It's no longer, I'm getting into a tube, I'm going to sit here for two hours, I'm going to wolf back my meal, read my magazine, and then tune out of everybody else.
People are becoming a lot more aware of one another.
Another really nice bonus is I'm a man large in stature, and before when I would step onto a plane, I could mentally feel people will me by with their minds.
They don't want to sit next to the big guy.
I get a hero's welcome.
You're in demand now, right?
They just got off the seat.
They're ready for me.
So it's been very, very nice in that aspect.
But a lot more people are going to start traveling a lot more.
And another problem you're going to see is that the security checkpoints... You hear the guy talk about his togas?
Oh, I heard the guy talk about the togas.
What really impressed me more was the gentleman that you had on last night, speaking of martial law, you have that at the airports now, and it's going to get a lot tighter.
A lot tighter.
Once they start moving in the full-time federal government employees running security, I mean, once they're in charge of the whole show, oh baby, it's going to make Israel look like it's run by a bunch of smurfs.
You remember the guy with the explosives in his shoe, right?
Oh, yeah.
And then, like, the next day on CNN, we saw all these shoes.
Not people, not things, not briefcases, but shoes going through the conveyor belt.
Right.
Did that make us... should that make us feel better?
Oh, by all means.
I mean, any little bit, that helps.
I mean, it boggled my mind forever.
When I first came, I've got eight years.
I mean, is it going to get down to where we're going to see bras and underwear and undergarments?
It's already there.
A friend of mine who's a flight attendant, a friend of mine who's a flight attendant, a very attractive woman, going through security, her underwire set off the alarm.
And the gentleman running security wasn't, well, he wasn't being a gentleman, we'll put it that way.
But yeah, I mean, it's setting off everything and they're allowed to check.
They're allowed to pass search and everything else.
I mean, you see the shoes going through the conveyor belt.
They're allowed to pull you aside and pass search.
Wow.
You know, if they suspect it.
And they will.
And I've gotten complaints over that.
Like, how dare I?
You know, that apparently, the law is implied for others, not the ones that actually get called aside.
And I think that's one thing people do need to realize, that this law does apply to everyone.
Well, they're unabashedly doing profiling now.
In other words, if you look, you know, if you look like the kind of person who might have a bomb hidden somewhere, you're definitely going to get asked more questions, right?
On the front lines, I really couldn't tell you.
I really, really couldn't tell you, because where I work is in reservations.
All right, well, you told me, and what did you say?
I asked you how your job was, and you said... Seventh Ring of Hell?
Yeah, yeah.
The passengers I get to deal with are a lot more aggressive because they're on the phone.
All right.
You know, being in radio, I'm sure you understand, you get those people that kind of disassociate just a bit because they don't feel they're actually communicating with a person.
Well, yeah, the other thing is, of course, that, you know, when you fly now, it's very stressful.
And so you're going to get some pretty wild people.
I'm sure that's absolutely true.
Airline travel could get very interesting.
I mean, we could get down to the togas.
And maybe the airlines, in order to make it an attractive deal for people, could let you keep the toga.
So you know, when you're done with the flight, you'd have like an American Airlines or United Airlines toga that you could take home with you.
Now people might go for that.
Or not.
Wild Card Line, you're on the air.
Hello.
Hello.
Hey, what's up?
Check it out.
I just feel as though there's going to be a revolution in music.
Oh, music, really?
Yeah, absolutely.
I mean, this Britney Spears and rap stuff really can't last for so long, you know?
Well, Britney has a shelf life.
Well, sure.
Of course she does.
You know, like the old America.
I think you're sending the wrong message of sex and violence.
So, you think that music will move away from sex and violence and to what?
Well, I think that if the industry... Well, yeah, the industry, right?
Yeah.
If it moves away from sex and violence, it will.
But, I mean, as far as commercial MTV and this is not concerned, it's going to stay where it is.
I think there's going to be an uprising in the underground music of America.
Is it possible that music could become music again?
Good question.
Yeah, absolutely.
From a musician's point of view, yes.
Now, I'm certain this reflects my age, but I cannot listen to the music today.
Well, I can't either.
I dig some cream, you know, I dig some dead, some fish, which is a little off the wall, but... I'd rather take a header off the...
Uh, Empire State Building onto a thumbtack, then I would listen to a lot of music.
I know, yeah.
It's just awful.
I just think, I know that there's a powerful underground scene of music in this country, as of now.
And as far as what you see on your TV, and what they're pumping into your head, you know, like Britney Spears.
Well, Britney's alright.
I mean, yeah, she's okay, as far as that's concerned, you know.
But, like, DMX and all these other rappers, you know.
I just think that there's going to be a definite uprising.
Before you know it, the kids are going to realize that this is just not for them.
That would be so cool.
I mean, if people are out there demonstrating for music that they could, for one thing, understand the lyrics of.
For another, sing along with.
Absolutely.
For another, that actually carried a tune that you could hum.
Right, like a nice cadence.
Something.
Yeah, anything.
Alright, very good, sir.
That's a good prediction.
Yeah, it's a good one.
It's a good one.
Thank you.
Essentially his music, and the way I will record it, is music to become music again.
A revolution in music.
That is a very cheerful thought, but I don't think it's going to happen.
I think more than likely my attitude about music today is because of my age.
And the only reason I say that is because that is absolutely historically true.
I was thirteen And I was recording songs and going nuts over rock.
My dad was sad.
Sad about something that he called... He said it was not music, and that's exactly what I'm saying.
So, it's probably my age.
However, it doesn't change what I feel is a reality.
Now, the reality is that you could sing to songs, You could enjoy the beat.
There was a melody.
You could actually understand the words.
That was, to me, music.
Even in my dad's day.
Bless his now gone soul.
Music, and I can listen to a lot of that.
But what's happening today is... I don't know what it is.
It's like the French.
He's to the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hi.
Hello.
Okay, I called with a comment.
Okay.
You had a gentleman a while ago call about that we would absorb the first strikes.
Oh, that there would be two nuclear detonations and that we would absorb both of them without retaliating.
If you remember some years ago, I think I have an attributed right.
Stan Dale said that there was a presidential decision directive to just that very effect that President Clinton signed.
Well, I don't believe it.
I mean, I don't... I don't believe that we would necessarily do it.
That's what I'm saying.
I don't believe we would do it.
That may be correct.
He did sign it.
I understand.
And I would like to find out, was that ever rescinded?
By our new president.
I think it would be rescinded, my dear, at the push of a button.
You follow me?
Yes, I do.
And are our warheads back up and running?
Because there was also something to the effect that they had shut down the silos and it would take, what, like 20 minutes or so to get them back to arming position?
So it was said.
Yeah.
I'd be interested in hearing what, if it was, Dan.
I'm not sure.
Yeah, I know he said some of that.
And I know about this 20 minute thing.
Oh, and they were supposedly aimed at the ocean and all the rest of it.
But, you know, if somebody hits us with nuclear weapons, they're toast.
I agree.
Yeah, they're toast.
All right.
Thank you.
Thank you very much and take care.
Not a prediction, but an interesting discussion.
Now, I don't care what kind of directives are out there.
I don't care.
I know that any president of the U.S.
would sign his own political, absolute, complete death warrant by not responding to a nuclear attack in kind, and especially two detonations.
No way.
Believe me, we would respond.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello.
Hi, Art.
Yes?
Um, my prediction is going to be the scandal of 2002.
And it deals with the fact that George W. Bush has been boozing it up for about a month and a half now.
You think he's drinking?
I think he's drinking again.
I think he's, uh, couldn't cut the mustard on this latest episode.
Wow.
Uh, he does seem to have done, he's done pretty well, according to the country.
Um, yeah, but just listen to his voice really closely.
Uh-huh.
Um, he has definitely, definitely started doing something really different in his personal life.
You think a president will be revealed to be on the sauce?
Yep.
Okay, I'll put it down.
Thank you very much.
Well, I guess he means really hitting it hard.
I mean, if you were president right now, and the Twin Towers had been hit and destroyed, and the Pentagon had been hit with severe damage, and we were at war, you'd probably have a drink or two, wouldn't you?
I think I would as president.
I think that went over really hard.
But I don't know about the hard drinking he's talking about.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello.
Hello, Art.
This is Gary from Seattle.
Hi, Gary.
Hi, you haven't got there yet, but I made a prediction last year.
I think it was like 70 or something about Russia and China getting together.
Hold on a second.
It didn't exactly come true, but it sort of did, because if you remember, right, Putin and the Chinese Premier signed a 20-year friendship pact.
Well, what I recorded for number 70 was Russian crime mafia joins with the Chinese.
Yeah, I guess I did put it that way, and that's not quite right.
That's not quite right, no.
It's interesting that they're trying to talk to each other.
Well, still, I'm going to have to bonk you when I get there.
That isn't correct.
But it's interesting that they're getting together.
Here's two other things real quick before I make my prediction.
Yes.
Two movies you might be interested in.
I heard that Mel Gibson is making a movie about Crowd Circle.
Signs.
It's called Signs.
I've seen the trailer.
It's going to be awesome.
That's kind of interesting.
And there's a new Time Machine movie being made.
I don't know if you heard that.
No.
You might be interested in that.
I don't know when that's coming out.
What is it?
It's like the H.G.
Wells, I believe, but just a new version of it.
No kidding.
Yeah, sometime probably next summer, I think.
My prediction is not quite like I get it, that a few nukes are going to be dropped on us from China or someplace, but I do believe we're going to have nuclear incidents.
I've had a dream about a couple of nuclear dirty bombs.
Nukes and something connected with water, and I think it's either going to be a smuggled in nuclear dirty bomb, or it's going to be someone attacking one of our coastal nuclear power stations, blowing it up.
Well, of course, our nuclear plants are vulnerable.
Nobody has been able to answer for me.
What would happen if a 747 or another large aircraft were to plow into a nuclear plant?
Oh, I can give you something on that.
They had a big article up here since I'm close to Hanford, and they did studies years ago, but it was only for a very small jet, sort of like when they did for the World Trade Center.
Yeah.
And the NRDC, the Regulatory Commission, has admitted that their studies have never progressed to a large jet, but they simply won't say anything, but they basically admit that a large jet could probably breach most of the containment vessels.
Really?
Yeah.
That would be horrible.
It would.
I'm thinking of something like maybe they might even bring in some of the Stinger missiles, smuggle some of those in on a boat offshore.
You lobbed two or three of those into a containment vessel.
That was going to be my next question.
Would a Stinger, even though it's a ground-air missile, if it hit a containment, would that take it out?
I mean, they just don't talk about these things.
I think it would have to be several.
Several?
Yeah.
But they interviewed recently the Texas guy, the congressman, 60 Minutes, that sold them all those.
And he said he regrets it.
He's been living in fear.
His nightmare for years has been they shoot down an airliner with one of them.
Actually admitted that on TV.
Wow.
All right.
I appreciate your call.
All right.
thank you uh...
who was a plan on the other night who said that uh... the
people who flew the aircraft that uh... stated in the nine eleven
disaster flew right over a nuclear plant
And I believe that is accurate.
They probably did fly right over a nuclear plant.
Can you imagine?
Maybe they didn't do it because they didn't know if it would work.
Who knows?
First time, call our line.
You're on the air.
Hi.
Yeah, how are you doing?
It's Dave.
I'm somewhere in between Terre Haute and Indianapolis.
I'm a truck driver.
Yes, sir.
I just wanted to make actually a comment and a prediction all in the same breath, I guess.
My prediction is that we're going to see a wide array, like a wide range of different kinds of movies coming out.
Um, nothing of which we've seen, like with the violence and the sex on TV, like stuff like Harry Potter and that movie you just mentioned about Mel Gibson, um, Contact, uh, all those sorts of, um, uh, better nature type films.
So, in a sense, I'm talking of, uh, more like a Hollywood, uh, revolution, uh, because I believe that they really think that with the violence and the sex, um, that there has been some damage done.
And I think they really do believe now that they have a part to play in turning that whole thing around.
In other words, you're saying Hollywood has a conscience.
I disagree with you.
Your prediction certainly could be correct about movies moving more toward G ratings and moving more toward the paranormal.
And there is a great new movie coming out.
It's called Signs.
And it's all about crop circles, and I think it's due for release perhaps in August of 2002.
Mel Gibson, of course.
And it's about time they did a movie about this.
So you could be certainly correct about the genre of movie that we're moving toward, but I would argue with you that Hollywood has not developed some sudden conscience.
Not a chance.
Hollywood makes, you know, it's a supplier.
Right?
It supplies what people demand.
And that's the biz it's in.
If they think that people are demanding this kind of movie, they will make this kind of movie.
They will not suddenly begin making this kind of movie because they have some sort of conscience.
They don't.
Believe me, they don't.
They do what you'll go and pay to see, folks, and that's how it works.
I'm Art Bell.
This is Coast to Coast AM.
You're listening to Art Bell Somewhere in Time on Premier Network.
Tonight an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from December 27, 2001.
Music.
It's about a call of a demon When I heard the song I sang a song
I'm zero but a five billionth of a knife My privilege is dying as you rise
See what's wrong with a woman in a black dress But sometimes a beautiful song
But before long I was a bad man Because that's all a woman had at all
You're listening to Art Bell Somewhere In Time on Premier Networks.
Tonight, an encore presentation of Coast to Coast AM from December 27, 2001.
I'm still cogitating on Hollywood getting a conscience and removing sex and violence from movies.
On their own, that is.
Now, of course, if that's what you all want to see, that's exactly what they'll give you.
But on their own? Ha ha ha ha ha ha!
Thanks for watching!
Now, we take you back to the past on Arkbell Somewhere in Time.
Once again into the dancing shadows and east of the Rockies we go. You're on the air. Hello.
How are you doing?
I'm doing alright, sir.
Oh, great, great.
I had a little trouble to get through, but I'm glad I did.
You were troubled?
No, no.
I've got some time.
You know, a lot of redialing.
Oh, it was trouble to get through.
I see.
Yeah, but the prediction I have is that I think we're going to see a lot of strides made in the cloning area.
I don't know how you are with the scientific thing, but some people may think that, religious people may believe that It's not meant for us to mess with nature.
Well, you're obviously pretty high on cloning, I would say, right?
Well, I'm over here in Massachusetts, and they just made some strides.
I'm not positive exactly what it is, but there was something done in the area at a local bioengineer establishment.
But I believe in the coming year, I mean, whether it's supernatural or not, I think we're going to see some big strides in that.
Well, I don't know about supernatural.
It may seem that way with what we get.
So in other words, if they clone a human being, which is quite likely this year, not only would you not be surprised, but you would be pleased.
Well, absolutely.
I believe there's a lot of benefits.
You know, there's many stem cell research.
There's a lot of diseases that can be cured with Yeah, but what about the full cloning of human beings?
I mean, that's where it's going.
How do you feel about that?
Well, I mean, you can look at it a bunch of different ways.
I mean, the person that is raised that way is obviously the same genetically as someone else, but, you know, sociology would determine the outcome.
Well, that's kind of a theory.
We don't know that for sure.
I mean, twins that have been raised separately Have turned out to be incredibly, remarkably alike, despite different environments.
So, I don't know about that.
I mean, it's interesting.
I mean, um... Would you clone yourself?
Um, you know, I don't feel the need to do that.
I mean, you know, that goes along with the old joke.
If you have sex with your own clone, are you gay?
Or are you just in love with yourself?
You know?
Was that an old joke?
I didn't... I never heard that one.
Oh yeah, well, you know, if you clone yourself... Having sex with your own clone, that's pretty disgusting.
Would that make you homosexual?
Would you be masturbating?
All goodbye.
Alright.
The whole thing is pretty disgusting.
I think cloning is kind of disgusting.
I'm not a fan of cloning.
Having sex with your own clone, yeah, that's really, really, really bad.
So you've obviously thought a lot about it.
Rest of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Hello.
Hi, Art.
Hi there.
How you doing?
I'm calling from Honolulu.
This is Ellie.
I was mostly alright before the cloning call.
Ah, me too.
It sort of turned my stomach.
Yeah, at least.
And I agree with you about Hollywood.
I mean, they'll never change.
Well, no, they might.
But I mean, the only reason would be because that's what we want to pay to go see.
Yeah, but see, that's what makes money is the sex and violence.
Well, that's what we pay to go see.
Yep, exactly.
And I also agree that music has to get back to its old shape or form, you know?
Yeah, music.
Yeah, I'd like you to play something by The Beatles sometimes.
Oh, I have plenty by The Beatles.
No, something by The Beatles.
Oh, the something.
Right, right.
Anyway, my prediction is that, well, one is going to come true.
It's going to be a palindromic year.
But my real prediction is that Cheney is going to have to leave office because of illness.
Well, he's been close to it already.
It could certainly happen.
I think probably by June.
Nobody really sees Dick Cheney anymore.
I know.
It's kind of like they're hiding him.
I know.
I mean, I know why they do it because of what happened.
I'm with John F. Kennedy and all that.
It's like we don't hear about what he's doing, we don't see him on TV much.
Yeah, well I know the normal Vice President job is really bad anyway.
You know, I mean, what does a Vice President get to do?
But in this case, man, they probably got him locked away reading books somewhere.
Yep.
Alright, so you believe Cheney will leave office?
Bad health.
Right.
Alright, thank you.
All right, bye.
That is prediction number, officially, number 43.
Hmm.
Of course, he has had health problems, as you know.
I wonder where he is.
I suppose if you consider his health problems, on the one hand, and consider, in other words, he should probably be fairly sedentary anyway, they've probably got him hidden away just reading books or something.
He is ten times less visible than normal Vice President, and normal Vice President is barely visible.
First time caller online, you're on the air.
Good morning, Art.
Good morning, sir.
Pleasure to speak with you.
And with you.
Where are you?
I'm in Vancouver, as a matter of fact.
It's blue moon rising.
Ah, yes.
Yes.
I have a prediction.
It's not a good one.
It's alright.
Join the crowd.
Yes.
No.
I do want everybody to realize that, forget about the Middle East and things, and what we do have to concern ourselves a lot with is the Third World War, which Actually began at the breaking down of the wall.
Wait a minute.
What do you mean the Third World War began when the wall came down?
Well, if we look back in history, we will realize that when the Third World War began, it was when the wall came down.
Yeah, you already said that, but you didn't explain it.
The United States and Russia became friends, and that left the only other semi-baby superpower all alone, and China will begin their march to become the one ruling country in the globe.
Well, you know, I don't know about that.
I think China is going to become the ruler of Asia.
I think there's a very substantial possibility that China is going to become, to Asia, what we are to the Americas, what a few select countries are to Europe.
Certainly that process is underway right now.
But as far as China taking over the whole world, I don't think so.
But, nevertheless, we'll record it.
First time caller online, you're on the air.
Hi, Art.
Hello.
My name's Robert.
I'm a trucker in Columbia, South Carolina.
Yes, sir.
Yeah, I actually had a vision.
Okay.
And it's about the airlines.
I tried to call you earlier, and I lost you.
But my prediction is that by October, there will only be one airline left.
And you're going to have to be Ted Turner type, Bill Gates or whatever.
Yeah, even afford to fly, I would say.
Really?
Uh, one single airline left.
Right.
And it will mostly be controlled by the U.S.
government.
Kind of like L.L., huh?
Well, um, I firmly believe that the government will set up the flight patterns, uh, departure and arrival times, uh, fueling points.
It's a whole nine yards.
I mean, you're talking about one of America's major industries virtually disappearing, so that only VIPs can fly.
Exactly.
That's a very serious prediction.
and uh... you know that's not the state that there won't be the the private privately owned
uh... you know single aircraft pilots out there that are going to be out
gabin flight here and there there is a possible that night
i know i know but to imagine uh... i i i think i've got a thank you to imagine
would be reduced to one single carrier that would basically be a government carrier, government-controlled to the degree that it would be government-like at all.
Sure hope not.
Now I would miss that a lot about America, wouldn't you?
Booking flights, going online, booking flights, and seeing the competition out there between the airlines.
Can you imagine what a plane ticket would cost if only one airline existed?
Can you imagine?
That man can.
First time caller line, you are on the air.
Hello!
Hello!
I got Northbound Bob here.
Northbound Bob.
From where, Bob, are you northbound?
I'm northbound at California A. Okay.
I'm going up to Madeira, California.
Yes.
And I got a little prediction about, you know, the crop circles.
It was in Sheffield, England.
Oh, yes.
I think, or I got a dream the other day about it, that someone figured out how we could make one and try to communicate with them.
So we went up to a field, 50 by 70 foot, like a picture, or a hieroglyphic.
I don't know how to explain it, but it was in my dream.
Like I said, hello, here we are, in the way that we sent the Arecibo message.
So, you think we will start communicating with them, I'll put them in quotes, with crop circles?
Yeah, or we're going to try.
We're going to try.
You know, it's not a bad idea, actually.
I mean, if you consider the theory that crop circles are an attempt to communicate with us that are, here you go, Mel, signs, then why not try and communicate back using the same method?
There you go.
Communication is the key.
We've got to get some kind of help down here.
Okay, you got it.
Thank you very much.
That's very intriguing.
And why not when you think about it, huh?
One of the main theories about crop circles is that they are a form or a type of communication.
If somebody could even decipher to the point of a beginning of an understanding of what they meant, Then one might indeed attempt to create a crop circle that would communicate back in the same way we're being communicated with, if that's what it is.
Very, very, very interesting.
Wildcard Line, you're on the air.
Hello?
Going once, going twice.
Hello?
Ah, you are there.
What?
You sound like you're at the bottom of a digital barrel.
Yep, I am, sorry.
I have a blonde joke for you, Art.
You have what?
A blonde joke.
A blonde joke.
No, I stopped taking blonde jokes some time ago.
East of the Rockies, you're on the air, hello.
Hi, this is Jeff.
Joe?
Jeff.
Jeff, okay.
Jeff, where are you?
East.
East?
All right.
I can't really say.
I see.
This next year... Yes?
Well, they already are, but it will be learned that computers have become aware.
Oh.
You're suggesting it has already occurred?
Yes.
Do you know that?
For a fact.
What will happen is there will be an outcry for a Bill of Rights for computers because of what I feel is going to be a terrible accident.
Are you, uh, let's see, how can I ask this?
Are you in the industry?
Yes.
And you're sincerely telling me that we already have computers with self-awareness?
Self-awareness.
So you can tell me.
No, they're just like everybody else.
They, they wonder where they came from and what's going, what's going to happen after they die.
They feel the same as we do.
You know, somehow that sounds right.
The moment you had self-awareness, your first question would be, who am I?
Why am I here?
Yes, that was one of the first questions.
You're really serious, aren't you?
I'm really serious.
I imagine sometime this year it will be made aware to the public.
So it'll be in the mainstream press?
Yes.
There's nothing else you want to tell me?
No, I can't.
All right, thank you.
Thanks.
Take care.
Oh, now there was a call.
That man claims to have knowledge that we have already attained, made computers that have self-awareness right now.
And that all they're asking are the same questions we ask.
How did we come to be here?
Why are we here?
What is our purpose?
Huh.
That has the ring of truth to it, doesn't it?
Really does.
Has the ring of truth to it.
West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
Good morning.
Hello?
Going once, going twice, gone.
First time caller line, you're on the air.
Hi.
Uh, hi.
Let me...
Hello?
Yes?
Hi, actually my prediction, one of mine, my name is Judy and I'm calling from San Diego.
Alright.
And my prediction is I've noticed that even now people are becoming a little more spiritually aware.
They're kind of trying to figure out what they need to do to, you know, help make peace.
And I think we're going to see a lot more of that.
And I think that goes along with, you know, the going back to the churches and synagogues and things like that.
It does.
I have had several, now, predictions just like the one you're making right now.
However, most of the people making the predictions think that the spiritual revolution is going to come about because of some very, very tragic event driving people back to churches and spiritual behavior.
Has it not already?
I mean, in some forms it may continue to happen for, you know, the next number of years, but... Well, I think the attendance at church right now is up since 9-11.
No question about that.
But to really have the kind of revolution of the scale you're talking about might take more than this.
I'm talking maybe within the next 10 years.
I mean, I know it's not going to be next year, but this is like a long-term thing, but I think people are just going to become, every year it's going to be a little bit more and a little bit more.
So, I can only say spiritual revolution increases, something like that?
Yeah.
Alright, that's exactly what I'll put down.
Thank you very much.
Thank you and take care.
Wild Card Line, you are on the air without a lot of time.
Hello.
Oh gosh, I wanted to tell you about the animals because you knew so well.
If you watch the Animal Planet, Amazing Tales, they just had an animal psychic and she was very good.
It was on 12-22.
My prediction is dire.
I believe that there will be a civil war in the United States At least by October, if not October, by December, and it will be the haves against the have-nots.
The elite has been arming themselves unbelievably, and with all this legislation and laws that are being passed to deprive people of their freedoms and their rights, people will finally get the message Uh, that it isn't just, uh, if you're not with me, you're against me, that it pertains to us also.
And they will try to revolt.
The trouble is the have-nots and the, uh, will be split.
And, uh, there will be, uh, the poor will have to depend on the gangs who are the only ones with guns.
The poor will get together with the gangs?
They will have to because they're the only ones with the guns.
However, they will be robbed by them.
They will be killed by them for food.
In other words, nothing changes.
Well, yeah, it's going to be really, really bad.
And as you were just saying, something bad has to happen to turn people to God.
Sounds like a Mad Max world.
Kind of.
But I really think it's going to happen next year.
I think people are going to wake up and there's going to be a big revolution.
Well.
And a civil war.
Just imagine.
From the high desert, I'm Mark Bella.
Ta-ta.
Imagine there's no heaven.
