art bell ▲ ● ▼		From the high desert and great American Southwest, good evening, good morning, 2003 to 2004.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		We're talking to people on both sides of the line.
unidentified		And the line right now, just come off from the Midwest and enjoy the time zone.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		As we bring in the new year together again.
		Welcome to the second part of the annual prediction show.
		I'm posting my bow.
		This is a show in which we record predictions made by you.
unidentified		Assign them a miracle value and sequence.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And then review them the following year.
		check your accuracy now last year was That means several things, particularly tonight, since, you know, the new year is fun.
		It means that you have to take a moment out before you make your prediction.
		If you've not done it, I know a lot of people are last-minute knellies, right?
		And let your mind go blank and try and seize on what you think or imagine or see as a major event occurring in 2004.
		Now, I, you know, beginning at 9 o'clock, I beautifully watched CNN, which, of course, covered all the celebrations, the ball dropping in New York, which it did safely.
		And then they began covering other cities.
		You know, they covered the celebration in Baltimore, and I suppose by now they're on to the Midwest.
		Anyway, they were sort of covering it city by city, you know, with the fireworks, and I thought, man, that's really cool.
		And then about 9.30, I was getting ready to do the show about a half hour ago, right?
		And I look up at the screen, and it says Baghdad.
unidentified		And, oh, man, there's a celebration.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		There's explosions going on there that were bigger than the ones in New York.
		And I thought, now, we just had a war over there.
		Who the hell paid for that?
		Is the American taxpayer paying for that kind of a celebration for New Year's in Baghdad?
		You know, all of that flashed through my mind.
		And then I realized they weren't covering the cities anymore.
		They were reflecting on the war.
		It was the attack on Baghdad.
		The shock and awe attack on Baghdad.
		So there you are.
		We didn't spend one dollar on a celebration over there.
		So far, it's going well.
		That's the big concern across the country that all goes well from a security point of view.
		And it's far from over, but the celebration in New York so far is so good.
		We'll stay on top of the news as much as possible tonight should anything occur as the new year sweeps across the country.
		A lot of security precautions, including just over the hill from me in Las Vegas, where they've got helicopters hovering in the sky, and they can call on jets from Nellis and police everywhere.
		And still, it's going to be packed.
		No question about it.
		Strip right now is absolutely packed at any rate.
		Our business tonight is the serious business of predictions for 2004.
		So it's open lines plus predictions.
		Now, only predictions made on this program actually recorded on the air are taken.
		I will not take predictions by email, personal contact, ham radio, email, fast blast, none of that.
		Nope, nope, nope.
		Only ones made on the air so you all can hear them.
		So there will be no contest about whether they were written down at some time other.
		Everybody can break out their recorders and record it.
		And we're expecting you to exhibit a high level of psychic intuitive ability tonight.
		So take that moment out that I asked you to take and really think it over before you call.
		Aside from that, though, in a moment, we get underway.
unidentified		We get underway.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Just very quickly, reviewing a few of the predictions made last year for 2003, number 15 would be, we gave, it'll be revealed that we gave Iraq bad stuff.
		Ding, ding, ding, ding.
		We certainly did give Iraq bad stuff.
		Number 16, that Mexican trucks would bring terrorists into the U.S. Almost said drugs.
		I think that's a general bonk, don't you?
		I'm going to bonk that.
		I don't think there's been a lot of that.
		Number 17, I don't know what, but RSC wrote lyrics.
		I don't know what that means.
		So question mark by that.
		I'm trying to do better in terms of writing it down.
		Initials don't work a year later.
		Number 18, more terrorism in general.
		That's a big ding, ding, ding.
		Been plenty of that, huh?
		Number 19, mainstream music turns political.
		Well, music has always kind of been political, hasn't it?
		But in terms of a recent turn in the last year, that's bonk.
		I don't think any more so than the previous, say, 10 years.
		Number 20, that Crystal Gale would sing another song for me.
		Well, generally that's bonk.
		She sang a wonderful song for me, which had been available, by the way, for free for a long time, called Midnight in the Desert.
		Awesome song.
		Totally awesome.
		And that's what I close out weekends with and that kind of stuff.
		I'll play at the end of the show tonight.
		And let's see.
		Number 21.
		On August 11th, our government will attempt another Philadelphia-type experiment.
		Bonk.
		As far as we know.
		Unless it was in secret, right?
		And then finally, number 22, Art Returns to the Radio.
unidentified		Ding, ding, da-ding, ding.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So, uh, not bad so far.
		Not bad.
		But this year, you will do better because you've had a chance to think about it a little bit.
		Are you ready?
		We will resume taking predictions with assignment number 48.
		And on the first time, call on the line, you are on the air.
		Hi.
unidentified		Hi there.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello, where are you?
unidentified		My name is Bob.
unidentified		I'm in Las Vegas listening on KDWN 7.20 a.m.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Way to go, sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, sir.
unidentified		Okay, I don't know if this will really qualify for this year because my prediction basically was that I see Dick Cheney stepping down in the second year of the next Bush presidency, claiming failing health.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
unidentified		And Bush picking John S. McCain as his replacement.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I can already really take one here.
		Steps down.
		I think that's a good one for health reasons.
		Dick Cheney.
unidentified		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Any thoughts on who his replacement would be if he did?
unidentified		I would say John S. McCain.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So you thought this out.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And now, is this a hope or did you really cogitate a little bit and is it a true prediction or a hope?
unidentified		I sat down and thought about this.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You did?
unidentified		It's just a feeling that I have.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's exactly what we're after, sir.
		You've done exactly the right thing.
		All right.
		All right.
		Thank you very much.
		That is precisely what we're after.
		Not political hopes or things that you hope you can cause to occur by the mere suggestion of them, but true predictions thought out in the most ESP-ish manner you can muster.
		Wildcard line, you are on the air.
		Good evening.
unidentified		Hello.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello there.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Where are you?
unidentified		In the Great Coachella Valley.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Coachella Valley, huh?
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
unidentified		Hey, how's that Vegas?
unidentified		Did there have bigger snow out there in Vegas?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You know, everybody asked me that.
		Wow, did you have snow?
		Well, I'm 65 miles west of Las Vegas, and the answer is no, we did not have it here.
		But my understanding is the palm trees in Las Vegas were indeed coated with white.
unidentified		I know.
unidentified		Never seen that before.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It can happen.
unidentified		Okay.
		Oh, I've never seen it before.
		Well, anyway, my prediction has to do with President bringing out the shadow government again.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The president, wait a minute.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The president, you mean telling us all the shadow government is real and exists, making that public?
unidentified		Yes.
		Well, he'll mention them again.
		And I believe that...
art bell ▲ ● ▼		When did a president...
		Hold on.
		When did a president ever mention the shadow government?
unidentified		Oh, after 9-11.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What did he say?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I never heard that.
unidentified		Oh, no.
		Wow.
		I can't believe that.
		He mentioned about a shadow government behind the scenes, a shadow government.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		In the United States.
unidentified		It blew me away hearing him says he really, I just, I don't think he said that.
unidentified		Okay, well, you know, maybe somebody out there might prove me wrong or prove me right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		But I do remember.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Sir, in what circumstance, what speech, what appearance did he talk about?
unidentified		Oh, you know, Art, I really can't tell you, but it was after 9-11.
		It could have been in the month of December.
		And you had mentioned about the shadow government and working behind the scenes and stuff like that.
		And I think this shadow government will have something to do with the capture of Bin Laden.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		But it'll all be in the shadows.
unidentified		Yes.
		You know, somebody out there tried to prove me wrong, but oh man, I believe.
		And it kind of, like I said, it blew me away.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Well, I imagine it would blow you away, sir.
		Thank you very much for the call.
		But you see, if the president had revealed the existence of a shadow government, in other words, a government that runs the real U.S. government, this would have upset people tremendously.
		And they'd get very upset.
		So I don't think that happened, or you misheard something, but I will record your prediction.
		Number 49 as president to reveal shadow government.
		It just doesn't to me seem like something the president would do on even a bad day.
		But you never know.
		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Hello.
		Hello.
unidentified		East.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		Okay, Art.
unidentified		This is Marnie.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Marnie.
unidentified		I'm in Pittsburgh, Kansas, listening to KKOW 860 a.m.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Way to go.
unidentified		And I have thought about this for almost a year.
unidentified		I think it was you that had Major Ed Dames on talking about the blight with crops.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		The next day on the nightly news with Dan Rather, he talked about it and mentioned that word.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, I know.
		People tend never to give Ed Dames credit for the hits he does get, and he does get them.
		Yes.
		And they rap people like that for when they're wrong, and he's been wrong, too.
		But yeah, I know.
unidentified		But my prediction is, and I've thought about this ever since then, and I sat down and even did a lot of really meditating on it.
unidentified		And I think we're going to see this year some problems with the crops, with food supply, pestilence or whatever, weather or whatever.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Why don't we put problem with food Supply.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That should cover it.
unidentified		And I had a comment.
unidentified		Of course, Lear's show was my favorite in a long time.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		Maybe 2012 is the end of the experiment.
unidentified		What do you think?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I don't know.
		I've always wondered about that.
		The fact that the Mayans ended their calendar there.
		Is it because they just got sick of writing?
		Is it because they figured, well, this is far enough to go?
		Or maybe they were a fatalist and figured we'd never get to 2012 anyway?
		I mean, who knows?
unidentified		Really a thought-provoking show.
unidentified		Happy New Year.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Happy New Year to you, too.
		And I'm going to repeat what I said the other night because already, obviously, we're beginning in the same spirit in which you left off Sunday night when we made the first 47 predictions.
		Not one of them was good.
		And I do think they're pretty well thought out.
		And most of them are pretty negative.
		I mean, really pretty negative.
		Pace on Mars proven false.
		I'm going to read you a few of these.
		North Korea detonates first nuke.
		Pope passes away at Lent.
		The year of contact.
		Bin Laden captured.
		Well, that's positive, I guess.
		Mass media uncovers ancient civilization on Mars or here.
		Coast to coast A.M. noted by mass media.
		I guess that would be good.
		MIDI spins out of control.
		The Brits get greater photos of Mars, including artifacts.
		That, I guess, is good or bad, depending on your point of view.
		Superhumans are revealed as existing.
		Saddam is murdered.
		A dual currency develops.
		One domestic and one foreign.
		Harp disturbs the ionosphere.
		China makes it to the moon.
		And just on and on and on.
		Nothing all that good.
		And that's kind of what's shaping up to follow tonight.
		So the nation would appear to be in sort of a, with regard to predictions anyway, for the coming year, in a kind of a dire mood.
		West of the Rockies, you are on the air.
		Hello.
		Hello?
unidentified		Hello?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, hi.
unidentified		Oh, hi.
		My prediction is that...
		Melissa.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Melissa.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And where are you, Melissa?
unidentified		Seattle.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And what are you predicting for us?
unidentified		That there will be more vegetarians and it'll become more of a norm in America.
unidentified		And the consumption of meat will reduce.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Are you a vegetarian?
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		For how long?
unidentified		No, I'm a vegan.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		For how long?
unidentified		Two years.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And how's it going?
unidentified		Oh, it's great.
		It's extremely healthy and all the stereotypical things that people think about it is really not true.
		But when you see a big juicy burger...
art bell ▲ ● ▼		When you see an inch and a half steak.
unidentified		No.
unidentified		No, I've forgotten how meat tastes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, you've forgotten?
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, let me refresh your memory.
		No?
		It's actually pretty good.
unidentified		No, I don't know.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Now, when you heard, I want an absolute honest answer here, okay?
unidentified		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		When you heard about the mad cow thing, were you happy?
		Tell the truth.
		Now, tell the truth.
unidentified		See, okay, no, I kind of felt like it's just karma.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, all right.
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
		All right.
		Well, karma's an okay word, I guess.
unidentified		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, thanks.
unidentified		You're welcome.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And good luck to us.
		She thinks more of us will become vegetarians.
		Well, of course.
		The mad cow thing.
		You know, I'm just not sure how life would go on without beef.
		I suppose it would squeak on, but it just wouldn't be the same without a big, juicy burger.
unidentified		You know, an inch and a half thick steak.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		We're talking beef here, baby.
		International line, you're on the air.
		Where are you calling from, please?
unidentified		This is Carol.
unidentified		Am I speaking dark?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, you are.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And where are you, Carol?
unidentified		Great.
unidentified		I'm in Hoquium.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hoquium?
		KXRO.
		And I have a prediction?
		Where is Hoquium?
unidentified		Yes, by ocean shores.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
unidentified		You know that, don't you?
unidentified		I hear your voice anyway.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And you have a prediction, I bet.
unidentified		Yes, I do.
		Listening to you the other night about the moon.
		Now, this is an if.
		If we didn't go to the moon, I predict that it will come out that other countries have been blackmailing the United States for years.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You mean the ones the countries who found out we didn't go to the moon?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		They blackmailed us.
unidentified		They've been doing it for years.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's quite, that's something to think about.
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Who do you suppose would have done that?
unidentified		Well, see, I don't know details too well, but you guys that are into that could probably figure that out better than me.
		But I predict that you'll all find it out.
		Because I've been listening to you almost 10 years now, I think.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, well, do you think it was like the Russians or the Chinese?
unidentified		Oh, yeah, those people.
unidentified		I mean, everybody we've been giving money to, anybody that's been blackmailing us.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, now, there's another way to look at what you've said.
		And that is that while it doesn't definitely prove it, you're right about one thing.
		We give away a, or we really give away a lot of money.
unidentified		That's right.
unidentified		That's what I'm thinking.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Sometimes to the point where the average American taxpayer shakes their head because they're going like, hey, those are my tax dollars that are given to that country over there.
unidentified		That's right.
unidentified		That's what I'm thinking.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Those billions that are going out right now, that's my tax money.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Why are they doing that?
unidentified		Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
		So it might be blackmail because otherwise it wouldn't make sense to give it out.
		Yeah, right, because if they were to let it out that they knew what we were doing, then, you know, those...
		Thank you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Right, right.
		See you later.
		I don't necessarily agree with all that.
		I was just trying to help her with her prediction, and that would seem to help the scenario along.
unidentified		Music
		You weren't you pretty good Don't be forgotten,
		No reason short people got no reason short people got no reason to live.
		They got little hands, little eyes, they walk around telling great big lies.
		They got little nose, little teeth, they wear a platform shoe on their nasty little feet.
		Well I don't want no short people, don't want no short people, don't want no short people.

		And now, sitting in for George Norry, here is Art Bell.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		We'll have to ask short people to keep it brief.
		Good morning, everybody.
		The new year is racing out across the U.S. countryside right now, across North America, and much more, of course.
		Having passed the central time zone headed for those of you in the mountain time zone, the poor ignored people of the mountain time zone.
		Almost every other time zone has some zip to it, but the mountain time zone is very nearly forgotten.
		It's like the forgotten time.
		Actually, the most favored time of all is the overpopular Eastern time zone.
		Have you ever noticed that?
		Everything is Eastern time zone-oriented.
unidentified		All the news, all the happenings, even all the TV listings.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Everything is prejudiced to the East Coast.
		There is a reason for that.
		I'm just not sure what it is.
unidentified		SHUT UP!
		SHUT UP!
		Thank you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Now, I am a little concerned about George.
		George, as you know, is taking this week off, and part of the time he's taking off, he says he's going to time travel.
		He's time traveling.
		I haven't heard from him.
		Now, I'm sure he's fine, but I did want to let you know that, that no one's called me up to say, hey, George is back from 55 or wherever he went.
		Haven't had any calls like that.
		Of course, I haven't had any calls saying, hey, George isn't back from 55.
		I guess we'll have to wait and see what the story is there, but you'd think they would have notified me one way or the other about George.
		Is he back or isn't he?
		First time calling line, you're on air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Hey, George.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, no, I'm not George.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm Mark.
unidentified		I'm sorry.
		I'm complaining.
		Mike, from the Big Easy, I have a scary prediction for this year.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You do, huh?
unidentified		Oh, well.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All scary and bad predictions, but I'll tell you, it's been worrisome.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, from the Big Easy, what is your prediction?
unidentified		I think this year is the year that the big hurricane is going to blow through and take out the city.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Off New Orleans?
unidentified		Yes, sir.
unidentified		I've been feeling this for years now, and I think this year is the year it's going to happen.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And your feeling about this is very strong.
unidentified		Oh, yeah.
unidentified		I've been, well, they've been saying for years that the levee system has some serious problems with it in a nice Category 5 up the mouth of the Mississippi River.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, well, you know, if you think your own city is going to be destroyed, sir, obviously then you've made plans to leave, right?
unidentified		Oh, yeah.
unidentified		Well, whenever they tell us that a category four or higher is headed this way, I'll always leave.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're right.
unidentified		You get plenty enough time.
unidentified		You always get plenty enough time to evacuate.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, that's true.
		That's one good thing about hurricanes versus other bad weather phenomena like tornadoes, for example.
		And they give you almost no warning.
		The Weather Service does what they can, but a lot of times there is no warning.
		A hurricane, you do get it ahead of time, but inevitably there's a whole bunch of people, several categories actually, who don't pay attention.
		one is a little boys who say there ain't no hurricane gonna drive me out here i've been here fifty years not And then, of course, there are the reporters sent down to be in the eye of the hurricane by CNN and now other news networks.
		Wondered about that for years.
		You know, guy who draws the short straw goes or what?
		Wildcard line, you're on the air.
		Good morning.
unidentified		Well, I may say when it comes to our going coast to coast, oh, yeah, I love it.
		And what is your first name?
		This is Dave.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hey, Dave.
unidentified		Hey, man.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And where are you?
unidentified		I'm in Christopher, Illinois.
		All right.
		And I'm going to give you a prediction followed by a universal blessing.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
unidentified		To begin with, the Mayan calendar.
		Oh, yes.
		This year they will figure it out what it's all about and why they stopped at 2004.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You seem to know an awful lot.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		They stopped at 2012, actually.
unidentified		2012.
		I'm sorry.
		I've got the new year mixed up.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		But since you know this much, you probably know what the deal is, right?
unidentified		The deal is very insignificant.
unidentified		It'll be revealed that it's really nothing, and it's just more or less that, well, let's just run it to 2004, and when we get to 2000, let's see where we all are.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It really could be.
		You know, this is where we're going to stop.
		I mean, we can't go on with this forever.
		The years will go on and on and on and on.
unidentified		Right, and who wants to make up another piece of clay?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So we quit here.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I was thinking about that earlier.
unidentified		Yeah.
		So anyway, I'll top that off with this.
		May your charcoal brickettes keep your fires burning forever.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Thank you very much.
		A universal blessing.
		Charcoal briquettes.
		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Oh, hello, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, hi.
unidentified		My name is Lewis from Kansas City.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Lewis, okay.
unidentified		I predict that the U.S.A Olympic basketball team is going to win the gold medal in 2004.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That we win the gold?
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
		That's a pretty good one.
		Now, it's number 55.
		We win the gold.
		Got it.
		Where will this be anyway?
unidentified		Oh, in Athens, Greece.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		In Athens, Greece.
		That's where it's going to be.
		Athens seems like the logical home, doesn't it?
unidentified		Oh, yeah.
		I can only make one prediction now.
		Yeah.
		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The rules say one.
unidentified		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And, you know, you've got to live by the rules, right?
unidentified		Yeah, all right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		The world is full of rules.
		Even we have them.
		Only one thought-out prediction.
		So give us your best.
		I mean, don't toy around here.
		We need your very best, and you need to think about this ahead of time.
		So the USA basketball team wins the gold this year.
		Coming.
		Good.
		West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hi.
unidentified		Hey, hi.
		Okay, I've got two predictions.
		I've got a scary one and I've got a groovy one.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		One prediction only.
unidentified		Do you want the happy one or do you want the scary one?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, no, I shouldn't have to make that decision.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The prediction that you feel has the most probability of coming true is the one you should give me.
unidentified		They're both going to happen.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, then the one you like the best.
unidentified		I refuse to make the choice.
		Okay.
		Let's see, which one do I like the best?
		New Mexico, major seismic activity.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		An earthquake.
unidentified		All kinds of it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Was that the good news or the bad news?
unidentified		Well, I guess it depends on if you've ever lived in New Mexico or not.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Or do now.
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, I'm serious.
		Was that the good news or the bad news?
		Well, that's bad.
		Okay.
		If it had been the good news, I definitely would have asked for the bad news.
		New Mexico, huh?
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Boy, that's odd.
		Do you think California maybe sent the thing back in the middle of the country?
		But New Mexico.
		All right.
		Any idea when?
		Timeline?
unidentified		No.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No.
unidentified		Spring?
unidentified		Starting in the spring?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		In the spring.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Starting in the spring?
unidentified		Yeah, I'm talking massive lots of this stuff going on here.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		But just in New Mexico or like throughout the southwest?
unidentified		Predominantly in New Mexico.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		New Mexico.
		All right, got it.
		I beg your pardon?
unidentified		What number is that?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It is prediction number 56.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And I hope you took time and thought about it.
unidentified		I did.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Well, good.
		That's what we're after.
		And we'll see how it all turns out.
		This is one of the most prolific years in terms of sheer numbers of predictions that we've taken.
		No question about that.
		What's the Rockies?
		You're on the air.
		Good morning.
		Turn your radio off, please.
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
		What is your first name?
		Bob.
		All right, Bob, where are you?
unidentified		Santa Rosa.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Santa Rosa.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And do you have a thought-out prediction for us?
unidentified		Yeah, I think Bush is going to be 11th hour.
		something's going to happen, he'll be too embarrassed to Something's going to happen.
		They'll find something out about him.
		I'm not sure exactly what it'll be, but it'll mix his opportunity to be our next president, which I would assume is the most likely thing to happen otherwise.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Right now, everybody thinks he's a shoe-in, of course.
unidentified		Exactly.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		But there's an awful lot of time between now and the election.
unidentified		I think 11th hour, something's going to break, some news, some leak, something that's going to make him look not like a good candidate anymore.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Usually it comes in October, traditionally.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That kind of thing comes in October.
unidentified		Right towards the very end.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yep, that's how it usually happens.
		All right.
		But that's a very interesting prediction with a pretty good, in my opinion, pretty good chance of coming true.
		Well, yeah, I know, but traditionally, I mean, you are correct.
		In elections, at the 11th hour, usually in October, there's some kind of really bad news.
unidentified		Yeah, it's true.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, thanks.
		Right, take care.
		So that's, you know, there's some history to back that up.
		I guess it occurs, one might speculate, because the opposing party, whoever's in office at the 11th hour, sees their chances as, you know, beginning to evaporate, right?
		And so they pull out the last hold card they've got, whatever it happens to be, and they deal that card.
		So, yeah, history would be on his side.
		First time caller would have been you're a dial tone.
		Wild card.
		Whoops.
		Push the right button, Arthur.
		Wild card line, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hi.
		Hello, Art.
		Pardon me.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I can barely understand you, sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're on a cell phone, right?
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Uh-huh.
unidentified		Can you hear me now?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		A little better, yes.
unidentified		Yeah, that guy that was talking about the president saying the shadow government.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		yeah but she was talking about uh...
unidentified		if washington party that there was things in place that would take over well then he was confused about Yeah, I hear you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, thank you.
		Well, of course, he referred to the government that would ensue underground with the vice president and whoever else was alive.
		That's a very different thing than the way we reference what's called the shadow government on this program.
		And I am quite certain that that caller did indeed mean the shadow government in the very spirit of the way it is spoken here.
		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Hello.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Where are you?
unidentified		Oh, I'm well.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No.
		No, no, no.
		Where are you?
unidentified		Oh, Philly.
unidentified		Sorry about that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Philadelphia.
		And you're well.
		And what is your name?
unidentified		I'm Dan.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Dan?
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
unidentified		I predict that Russian neo-Nazis will release a strain of the Ebola virus.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Russian neo-Nazis?
unidentified		Yes, mutated to affect people they don't like, essentially.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
unidentified		Yeah, and it'll be a big epidemic.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You know, there was just some information, though, on a shot that you can take.
		I don't know how far they've gotten with it, but it protects you against Ebola.
		I don't know how far they've gotten, but pretty far.
unidentified		Well, that's good news.
unidentified		I haven't heard about that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, it would be bad.
		Indeed, Ebola is really bad news.
		All right, thank you very much.
		Russian neo-Nazis release of the Ebola virus.
		Yikes.
		There's two things about the Ebola virus.
		One is, thus far, even though it's an incredibly fast, deadly virus, you know how it works.
		You get it, and within literally countable hours, you bleed out.
		Horrible, right?
		But it's so bad that it tends to burn itself out, and it will go through a village, for example, in Africa, and then just stop.
		Any virus that kills its host that quickly runs the danger of its own extinction, making it perhaps in some ways not a very efficient virus.
		First time caller line, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
unidentified		Hello?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Turn off your radio, please.
unidentified		It's off.
unidentified		This is Pat, K-L-B-J, 590, Austin, Texas.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, Pat, how you doing?
unidentified		All right, man.
		I'm big.
		Is this Art?
		Yes.
		Wow, man.
		I'm a big fan of yours.
		I love you to death.
		I bought the CDs.
		I did everything.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm the only one here.
unidentified		You're the greatest, my friend.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm the only one here, so it's the only possibility when I answer the phone.
unidentified		Boom.
		Okay.
		Well, my prediction, well, actually, it's my wife's prediction.
		We kind of worked this together, but she was more of it.
		We kind of feel like that one first caller tonight, that Cheney is not going to be Bush's running mate, that Condoleta Rice will be the running mate, and she will then become the next president when she beats Hillary Clinton out during the 08.
		God, it's great to see talk to you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Boy, Condoleezza Rice, she'd be very interesting, wouldn't she?
unidentified		She would be.
		I think she's the only Republicans, only hope.
		But that's honest to goodness, good prediction.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		It is duly registered.
		You're number 59.
unidentified		And I hope you have a great new year.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, it's about an hour and six minutes away, or so.
		Thank you very much.
		I hope it's a good year, too.
		However, if one peruses the predictions made, we had one good one here about the USA basketball team winning the gold.
		But, you know, they're very Spartan.
		We've taken, what, 59 predictions now, and I can tell you that at least 90% of them are pretty negative, actually.
		West of the Rockies, you are on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Yes, hello.
		Hi.
		I have a prediction.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm listening.
unidentified		And it's a rough one.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, well, yeah, a lot of them have been.
unidentified		Yeah, well, this is probably the toughest you're going to get tonight.
		Really?
		I predict that because the talk show hosts on KFI and KRLA and Rush Limbaugh and you and all the big names have refused, because they have refused to give me, say, 30 hours of airtime to explain.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Look, I don't care what it is that you're about to say.
		Nobody's going to give you 30 hours.
		I mean, just like that.
		Boom, it just doesn't happen.
unidentified		Well, let me continue about that.
unidentified		To explain the who, what, when, where, how, and why that we stop the murder of our troops in Iraq, and that means doing Roman Catholic exorcism.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Nobody's an exorcism guy, aren't you?
unidentified		Listen, no one will permit the man to get out.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, me either.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Me either.
unidentified		And because of that, me either.
unidentified		There's not a dire consequence.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, gotcha.
		Thank you very much.
		Well, you know, you don't need my permission or anybody else's permission to do an exorcism, brother.
		Get it on.
		Exercise whatever you think is bad, out.
		Or if you're Canadian, oot.
		but you know quick bother in the talk shows about thirty hours uh...
		first-time lawline you're on the air hello Hey.
unidentified		Happy New Year.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And to you as well, sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Where are you?
unidentified		I'm in Grants Pass, Oregon.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Grants Pass, Oregon, all right?
unidentified		In the doc.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hey, Doc.
unidentified		Um, my prediction is that Bigfoot will be actually caught, but it'll die in captivity.
unidentified		but the news media will get a hold of it first long before the government can come along and take it away you think Really?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yep.
unidentified		Bigfoot.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And for your benefit, here he is.
unidentified		Here he is.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You really want to get your hands on something like that, sir?
unidentified		Yes, sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You do?
unidentified		Yes, sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You take care and have a good new year, huh?
unidentified		Happy New Year.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Happy New Year.
unidentified		So they're going to catch the guy, Bigfoot.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Tear them apart, I suppose.
unidentified		It's written on the wind It's everywhere I go It's everywhere I go So if you really want me, come on and let it show.

art bell ▲ ● ▼		Here, I appear to be, hey, everybody, how you doing?
		A few memories for you.
		Deeper, darker, well, no, brighter, actually, memories with some of the music we're going to use as bed tonight.
		Why not?
		We're predicting what's coming in the year 2004, and that so far has been kind of a rough road, so I thought I'd smooth it out a little with some music.
		We'll be right back, and the predictions continue.
unidentified		We'll be right back, and the predictions continue.
unidentified		We'll be right back.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You know, the new year, having raced across the city of Denver, you can almost close your eyes where I am here in the desert and picture it racing down the Rocky Mountains and racing out, you know, across the countryside toward the west coast.
		You can just close your eyes and kind of imagine that.
		In previous years, I think we've calculated the speed with which it moves, but I forget what it is.
		very quickly anyway, would have to go, let's see, to make it here, would have to go, well, again, I'd have to go back to some pretty basic math from the westernmost edge of the So you wouldn't take the westernmost edge of the Mountain Time Zone and then think of the easternmost edge of the Pacific time zone, or would you?
		Probably better not to even think about it.
		First time caller line, you're on the air.
		We are doing predictions.
		Do you have one of those?
unidentified		Yes, sir, I do.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Good.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What is your first name?
unidentified		My name is David.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		David, you're going to have to yell at us.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I can barely hear you.
unidentified		I'm sorry about that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Where are you, David?
unidentified		I'm in Waco.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Waco.
		Waco, Texas.
		All right?
unidentified		Island of the Insanities.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, what do you think?
unidentified		I have come up with that there will be a great spilling of foreign oil, not unlike the Exxon Valdez accident.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
unidentified		But it will be overseas.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Terrible foreign oil spill.
unidentified		And I have it.
		I keep feeling that it's going to be in warmer weather.
		So like spring or summer.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
		I'm always curious how people...
		I guess how they come up with this.
		I mean, did you just sort of visualize this in a quiet moment or how did it come up with it?
unidentified		The way I get things like this, I get clues throughout my life that I've trained myself to focus in on.
unidentified		Like maybe a license plate or a specific tree that's not supposed to be in this certain area.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
		That's very interesting, how people come up with what they conclude.
		And for you, it's little hints that you connect to things, I guess, huh?
unidentified		Yes, sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Or you just see something and you assume it means that.
unidentified		Well, whenever I see something that is not really in place, it just sends me a vibe that I just get a feeling that that's what it means.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's very interesting.
		All right.
		Thank you very much.
		It is interesting because people use very different methods.
		And many of us, if not most of us, I think, feel that at times we have intuitive power, right?
		And we certainly do have intuitive power.
		But I think it comes to people, obviously, if listening to The Last Man there, in very different ways.
		For some, it would be a dream.
		For some, it would be a thought coming by whatever means.
		It's just very different.
		And it's interesting to ask people that question.
		Wildcard line, you're on the air.
		Hi.
unidentified		How are you doing?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm doing, sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How are you?
unidentified		Doing really great.
		WTAW in Texas.
		My name is Steve.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Steve.
unidentified		Yeah.
		No, we live in a really great country with really great people.
		And I have been just fascinated with the story of the science of cold fusion.
		And down here, we've just had some new developments in cloning with the deer and with the young mathematicians and the new scientists that we have.
		They're going to just stumble onto this.
		So this year, I think that we're going to hear lots more about it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, about what specifically?
		You called off quite a bit of current science there.
		What do you think, where will be the big advance?
unidentified		You know, it's just like a lot of books that I've read and some of the people I've interviewed and talked to, I think it's just going to come out of the blue.
		They're going to be stuck, and then all of a sudden somebody's just going to come up with it.
		What?
		Basically, what I've been seeing or looking at is, I wonder what they're going to do with ocean liners or big, you know, the shipping era.
		How could you use cold fusion in that?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So, all right, so you think it's going to be a cold fusion advance, right?
unidentified		Yes, sir.
unidentified		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, that is interesting.
		Cold fusion, of course, is very, very controversial.
		Was it Flash and Pons, I believe, who made the claim originally?
		Wasn't it in Utah?
		I think it was in Utah.
		They ended up, I believe, taking their discovery to Europe.
		Various universities with varying degrees of luck either duplicated or were unable to duplicate the process here in the U.S. until it's like he had disappeared from the U.S. It went to Europe, where it's my understanding from having interviewed people that the development process has continued, and I haven't heard any news about any big breakthrough.
		Have you?
		Of course, it may be that this time they're going to keep it very quiet until they've got a full-scale, ready-to-go reactor of some sort or another.
		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hi.
unidentified		Hello?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello?
unidentified		I'm sorry.
		Hello, Art.
		How are you?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Don't be sorry.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're on the air.
unidentified		My name is Jonathan.
unidentified		I'm calling from Indianapolis.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, Jonathan.
unidentified		My prediction is that over the next six or seven months, both NASA and the European Space Agency will continue to lose Mars probes.
unidentified		At a later date, perhaps early fall, a raft will be found off Key West.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, let's back up a little bit.
		With regard to Mars probes, why do you think we're losing them?
		What is your best feeling about why?
		I mean, over two-thirds is crazy.
		Something's going on.
		Is it just really hard to get to Mars?
		Harder than doing a lot of other stuff?
		I mean, we can even go catch stuff from a comet's tail, you know.
		But we can't do much with Mars.
		Something's been...
		Or do you believe it's just bad luck or something?
unidentified		No, I believe aliens all the way, because I've been an abductee for about eight years now.
unidentified		And I don't know if it's due to just good behavior during my abductions, but I get kind of glimpses of future incidents from the abductees.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You behave well during your abductions?
unidentified		I try to behave very well just due to the fact that I think it's a very interesting life experience.
		But I get kind of visions, and I had a view of a raft being found off Key West, like in the zone between Cuba where people raft in, of a large raft covered with all the probes that we've sent in perfect condition, untouched.
		Just basically to get the idea across.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, Lizard, man, that would be so cool.
unidentified		Basically pointing out Mars is not ours.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, yeah.
		Yeah, oh no, that would drive the point home.
		Believe me.
		Thank you very much.
		Now, that's interesting to contemplate, right?
		There was a movie, of course, about the planes, the seven planes lost in the Bermuda Triangle, turning up out in the middle of the desert.
		Remember that?
		It was called Close Encounters of the Third Kind.
		And so he envisions a raft containing all the Mars probes that the Russians and the United States and whoever all else has tried have been lost, just sort of rafting in.
		That certainly would send a very large message, wouldn't it?
		Welcome to the Rockies.
		You're on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Hello, Lord.
		This is Fritz up here in Clarkson, Washington.
		Yes.
		9.50 a.m.
		I got a prediction that we will get our troops out of Iraq by the end of the year.
		We will probably get assistance from other nations once we finally get rid of a lot of these little hotspots.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Troops out of Iraq by the end of the year.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's very, very, very, very optimistic.
unidentified		Oh, that shadow government, I think, he was talking about, he did mention that, but what it was talking about was the ones where they're hiding in West Virginia and hiding.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, we got that, but that is not, sir, what they call her man.
unidentified		Yeah, I know.
unidentified		That's the other guy, Sneaky Bunch.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, yeah.
unidentified		Okay, happy New Year to me and your family.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And the very same to you.
		And that would be awfully optimistic.
		But that is one of the very few by percentage of positive predictions that we've had.
		You would have to certainly consider that very positive.
		Troops out of Iraq by the end of the year.
unidentified		Goodness.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It seems to me like we're going to be there for years.
		You do not occupy...
		There's not a lot of difference, really.
		We were there for many, many, many years before we turned autonomy back, and I think that's going to be the case in Iraq, too.
		I wish I felt optimistic like that caller, but I don't.
		International line, you're on air.
		Hello, where are you, please?
		Hi, Art.
unidentified		Hi.
unidentified		Happy New Year.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And you, where are you?
unidentified		This is Jeff in Winnipeg.
		Okay.
		And I have a rather scary prediction.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, it'll fit right in.
unidentified		I think Al-Qaeda is going to get stronger, and I say that because I think in 2004, there's going to be an al-Qaeda-sponsored coup of the Prevez Musharraf government in Pakistan.
		Oh, and I think the government that will take the place of Prevez Musharraf's government will be anti-U.S., anti-West government, fundamentalist Islamic government.
		And we've already seen some indications of that within the past week and a half, you know, with two assassination attempts on Prevez Musharraf.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		True enough.
		True enough.
		They sure got close, didn't they?
unidentified		Yeah, absolutely.
unidentified		And I think his days are numbered.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		He would probably have to feel about the same way after what's just happened.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And, yeah, I agree with you.
unidentified		Yeah, and I think for Al-Qaeda to do that would be their logical next step.
unidentified		I mean, they're right in the backyard of the Pakistani government.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		They're right there.
		I sure don't want to think of Al-Qaeda as getting stronger, though.
		I appreciate your call very much.
		I hope you're wrong and worry that you may be right.
		The United States, and certainly you cannot blame President Bush for this.
		He acted exactly as he should have.
		Said very clearly that the United States was not at war with Islam, that we were at war with al-Qaeda and with terrorists, and we were very careful to draw that distinction.
		And there is a very real danger that Al-Qaeda's war will be thought of as the war of Islam, and then, of course, it would be a very different situation.
		So it's a very thin little line that we're walking politically in this whole thing.
		I mean, a very thin little line.
		And so I hope he's wrong, but if al-Qaeda should get stronger because of a general acceptance in Islam, then we really will have a fight on our hands, won't we?
		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Lord.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hi.
unidentified		It's Peter Zijak from Dearborn Heights, Michigan, listening to you on 800 in Windsor, Ontario.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's the way to do it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, sir.
unidentified		I've asked you, I emailed you a few letters.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		I feel that this year we're going to get the greatest disaster that's ever hit this earth since man's been on this earth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Gee, another cheerful prediction.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The greatest disaster ever hit mankind.
unidentified		Right.
		It's going to hit the, probably hit in the ocean and create a tidal wave that's going to go around the earth and wipe out one-third of mankind.
		Ah.
		And this is based on God's sake.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, I could tell right away.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		This is straight out of the Bible.
unidentified		Right.
unidentified		And it's going to happen when you see summer coming.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		One-third.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Why don't we just write down one-third of mankind to be killed?
unidentified		Will be wiped out.
		One-third of the ships are destroyed.
		Well, I don't know about one-third of mankind.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You don't have to go through the whole thing.
unidentified		One-third of the creatures of the sea, one-third of the ships are destroyed, and one-third of the water is going to turn to blood.
		In other words, dirty.
		Basically, I don't know how many people have died, but I do know that I keep...
		The wave will hit Jerusalem from three directions.
		It'll hit us to Gibraltar.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Now, is this, in addition to being biblically inscribed, your personal prediction as well?
unidentified		Right.
unidentified		I stake my life as a Christian on it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Why?
unidentified		Because I believe in God.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, yeah, fine.
		That's fine.
		You believe in God, but why?
unidentified		Do I believe in it?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Why do you believe in it coming in 2004 specifically?
unidentified		Well, the signs all call for it.
unidentified		First of all, this is the great rebellion against God that's happening on this world, on this earth.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
		But, I mean, it's been going on for a long time, this rebelliousness.
		So why 2004?
unidentified		Why 2004?
		Because, let's put it this way, all the signs, let's put it this way.
		If you look at chapter 13 of Revelations, it talks for the beast.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		But does it talk of a timetable?
unidentified		Well, let's put it this way.
		The timetable is, I don't That's the question, yes.
		Well, I picked 2004 because, first of all, how everything is coming together, and it calls for a time of 43 months from the time that the most worshipful master, the abomination to God, stands on the Temple of God in Jerusalem.
		And that happened in 2000 when Ariel Sharon stood on Temple Mount with 2,000 of his followers.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		You answered the question.
		Thank you.
		I wanted to know how you came up with that date.
		And you did actually have a basis for that.
		Pretty good.
		West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Hello?
		Hello.
		Yes.
		Hello, Mr. R. Bell.
		And first of all, Happy New Year to you and your family.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And the same to you, sir.
unidentified		And I hate to ruffle the feathers of a lot of your callers so far, but my prediction is that, by the way, this is Michael from Altadena between the Rose Bowl and JPL.
unidentified		I'm in action out here right now.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Sure.
unidentified		And I'm listening to the great KFI.
unidentified		But my prediction is simply that there will be no major terrorist act on U.S. soil this year of the caliber or the kind that we experience in 9-1-1.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, that's very nice of you to predict.
		That's really nice of you to predict.
		And you really feel this as a matter of something that came to you, not just a wild guess.
unidentified		Not as a matter of something that came to me, but as a matter of what I see and what has transpired since then.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, you do understand that we're actually after intuitive revelations here.
unidentified		Yes.
unidentified		Well, there's a certain amount of intuitiveness to it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's okay.
unidentified		Because, I mean, if there wasn't, then I'd be saying what everybody else is saying and feeling what they're feeling.
unidentified		But I'm not.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, then, take into consideration the fact that they seem to be, in other words, at least like 90% of the people are on, definitely, definitely, on the negative side.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Why do you think that is?
unidentified		Why do I think that is?
unidentified		Well, again, I don't want to ruffle any feathers or anything, but I think, to put it bluntly, I think 9-1-1 served its purpose.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And scared the hell out of everybody.
		That's right.
		Okay, I got you.
		Because we've been terrorized.
		That's how terrorism works, right?
unidentified		Mama said there'll be days like this.
		There'll be days like this.
		Mama said.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, but Mama didn't say anything about years.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Mama said there'll be days like this.
unidentified		There'll be days like this.
		My mama said.
		Mama said.
		Mama said.
		I went walking the other day.
		Everything was going fine.
		I met a little boy named Billy Joe.
		And then almost lost my mind.
		Mama said there'll be days like this.
		There'll be days like this.
		My mama said.
		Mama said.
		There'll be days like this.
		There'll be days like this.
		My mama said.
		My eyes were wide open.

		If woman can survive.

		Tell no lies.
		Everything you think, do and say.
		Is in the bill you took today.

		You won't find a thing to chew.
		Nobody's gonna look at you.

art bell ▲ ● ▼		The last 24 minutes of 2003 are ticking away for those of us here in the Pacific time zone.
		Ramona and myself will take our usual traditional midnight on the new year of 2020.
		type picture that'll go on the webcam which is off to the upper right on this particular night on the website we are taking predictions for the year 2004 now it's been 10,000
unidentified		Man has cried a billion tears For what he never knew Now man's reign is true But through eternal night The twinkling of starlight So very far away Maybe it's only yesterday And we'll continue in a moment.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The very serious business of intuiting what's coming in 2004 continues.
		First time caller line, you're on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Mr. Art Bell.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, sir.
unidentified		How are you doing tonight, sir?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I am very well.
unidentified		Thank you very much for taking my call.
unidentified		It's a pleasure to talk to you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Where are you?
unidentified		I am from Sweetwater, Tennessee.
unidentified		This is David.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, David.
unidentified		I'm going to go on the lighter side.
		I'm going to make a football prediction.
		Oh, okay.
		I know you're a football fan.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I am, although I've found this year's NFL season to be crushingly disappointing.
		All of the teams that I like blew it big time.
		I mean, really blew it.
unidentified		Yeah, well, I'm going to go out on a limb here and I'm going to say the Tennessee Titans will defeat the Philadelphia Eagles in the Super Bowl.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, you know what?
		That's a pretty good one.
		I'm kind of rooting for Tennessee if you want to know the truth.
unidentified		Well, I'd like to see them do it.
		They've been there and they've certainly been a team to reckon with over the last few years.
		They've just never been able to get over the hump.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's quite true.
		since uh all of my teams here in the west have blown up uh this is as good as any.
		Okay, you got it.
unidentified		Thank you very much.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Right, take care.
		God, it's not been a good year.
		It's just not been a good year for NFL here in the West.
		I mean, look what happened to the Raiders.
unidentified		God.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		San Diego.
		Just, you know, all of the teams that I've kind of enjoyed over the years have taken this year off, you know, sort of fallen apart, actually.
		And in that case, the Raiders, of course, the coaches are already gone.
		What were they?
		Four and nine, something like that?
		Wildcard line, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hi.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello?
		Going once?
		Going twice.
		Gone.
		East of the Rockies, you are on the air.
		Good morning.
unidentified		Hello.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello.
unidentified		Hey, Art?
		Yes.
		I wish you good health, very much success in your new radio station, and your heart filled with happiness for the new year.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, that's very nice of you, sir.
unidentified		Thank you.
unidentified		I want to predict that the Titans will win the Super Bowl, but I'm scared to because I'm from Nashville.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I just, someone just did that before you.
unidentified		I've heard that.
		I've heard that, but I think it'll be Philadelphia and New England, Zoo.
		I think it'll be in there.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Do you want that recorded as your prediction?
unidentified		No, no, no, I don't want to predict that.
unidentified		I'd like to predict that LSU will win the sugar and USC will lose to Michigan and it'll screw up.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I can only take one.
unidentified		To BC.
		All right, here's my prediction.
		Okay, I predict that on coast to coast, this will be the first time it'll be exposed, that this being election year and all, that it will be.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You have your radio on in the background, don't you?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		See, that game.
unidentified		I didn't think you'd hear that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		But see, it's not a matter of me hearing it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's that you're hearing it, and it's confusing you and making you pause.
unidentified		No, no, no, no, no.
		I'm not even listening to that.
		If you're not hearing it, that's fine.
		I want to predict that something will come up in this election year that will show evidence that we have been tricked into getting into the war in the Mideast over there.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, in Iraq?
		Well, that's already kind of underway.
		Let's see.
unidentified		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		it is to be revealed that we were tricked into the Iraq war.
		I think it's already really underway.
		There are several investigations underway right now about the information, the intelligence that we had when we made the decision to go to war.
		And it may well be that the president just decided that it was going to happen.
		And they just did it.
		I mean, that's just the way it can happen.
		A president can say, okay, you know, U.S. forces are going to do the following.
		And, you know, he likes to have a little support for his decision.
		Maybe there wasn't as much as they would have liked.
		You know, but he made the decision anyway.
		Was it the Rockies?
		You're on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
unidentified		Hello.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hi.
unidentified		Hi.
		My prediction basically is something that's actually taking place.
		So I'll give you the brief prediction up front, and then if you'd like the corroborative evidence, I can give that to you very quickly.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, let's hear it.
unidentified		Okay.
unidentified		Before this time next year, it will be revealed that first it will be revealed that one of the major five banks in the United States that people have checking and savings accounts with will have it'll first be announced that they will have lost $3 billion.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Lost it?
unidentified		They will have misplaced it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Wait a minute, but this is pretty good.
		Hold on, hold on, hold on.
		Major bank, top five, loses how much, please?
		How many?
unidentified		$3 billion.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Wow.
unidentified		Shortly after that information, Well, shortly after that information comes out, it will be revealed that two other banks have also lost.
		One will have lost in an excess of $1.8 billion.
		The other one will have lost close to $5 billion.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Identity theft, sir?
unidentified		No.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What?
unidentified		It's something a little more clandestine than that.
		What, what, what?
		Well, actually, for one of the three banks that I'm talking about, this will be the third time in the last 15 years that this has been done, and it's not an accident.
		Basically, it is a...
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Spill it.
unidentified		Okay.
		If you're someone who checks your computer readout, like if you call, you have the phone number or go on the Internet or basically if you just check the details of your balance, it's a little more detailed than what you get with the printout.
		Let's say, for example, you, this happened to me.
		I did an ATM withdrawal on November 22nd.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're drifting.
unidentified		No, no, no.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, you are.
		You need to give me the big picture of what's going to happen.
		Are you saying that when we call and we get these figures, we're being lied to?
		No.
unidentified		Well, basically, what's happened is that there is a bookkeeping situation that is being imposed with five of the big banks, which is intentionally imposed in order to covertly steal money from people.
unidentified		Okay, Roger Lear talked about.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hold on.
		Thank you very much.
		Now, I'm not willing to go any further with that, but I will accept that much.
		This man feels that there is a criminal conspiracy underway right now that's lying to us about the amount of money in the bank.
		And that a major bank, one of the top five, he says, will lose $3 billion.
		Now, that's not going to be a hard one to track, along with several other banks who will lose in excess of $1.7 or another billion, whatever it was.
		Bookkeeping.
		International line, you're on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Hey there.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hey there.
unidentified		How are you doing tonight?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm just spiffy.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Where are you?
unidentified		I'm actually in Winnipeg, Manitoba.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
unidentified		In Canada.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And your name is?
unidentified		My name's Dave.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, Dave.
unidentified		I'd like to wish you a happy new year along with everyone else.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you.
unidentified		They've all been doing so tonight.
		And I'd like to make a prediction, actually, it's for Canada.
		However, I do agree with a lot of your people that have been talking to you tonight.
		And I have been listening to you for quite a number of months now.
		Not years, I'm sorry to say.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm sorry.
unidentified		But months.
unidentified		And I do see a lot of things happening in the U.S. and throughout the world.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Now, but your prediction is for Canada, though, right?
unidentified		Yes, it is, actually.
unidentified		I would like to predict within one of the largest tax revolts ever seen happening in Canada.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm going to argue with you on this one a little bit.
		I'm going to put it down.
		It's, by the way, prediction number 71, okay?
		Certainly.
		However, I find the following.
		I find that Canadian people, more than not, are really, really laid-back people.
unidentified		Yes, we are.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And, well, see, there you are.
		So you know that.
		And so a tax revolt requires people to get really exorcised over something.
		I mean, just really upset.
unidentified		It really does require people to get upset.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, and for Canadians to get that upset, something.
unidentified		Oh, it takes a lot.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, it would take a lot.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I mean, what do you think could happen up there to cause Canadians to go wild like that?
unidentified		Well, basically, I would say it's starting in Manitoba, although I've heard it's happening throughout the prairie provinces in the last little while.
		I would say that basically it's the way that they are taxing us.
		They try and disguise the taxes now.
		They are taking crown corporations.
		They're taking the crown corporations and disguising it as an increase across the board to cover expenditures, etc.
		Whereas at the same time, they're developing casinos throughout the provinces and gaining the tax revenue through the casinos.
		They turn around and say, oh, geez, you know, we're not making quite enough money.
		They're selling off crown corporations.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And as soon as the corporate property instead of continuing down this path, tell me the one thing that's going to push Canadians over the edge.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's what I want to hear.
unidentified		The one thing that's going to push them over the edge is the taxes on hydro and natural gas bills.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, I got it then.
		So there you have it.
		There's going to be some giant hydroelectric hike in Canada or something, and Canadians will go berserk and there will be a tax revolt.
		Well, the United States has been considering perhaps adopting some of the western provinces up there anyway.
		So that might be a unique opportunity to do so.
		Although there's been a lot of controversy about that.
		There are even some Canadians in the Western provinces who would like to attach themselves to our Western U.S. and become part of the United States.
		Others oppose the idea.
		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Hello?
		Hello?
		Hello, this is Kristen and Scranton PA.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello, Kristen.
unidentified		How you doing?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Fine.
unidentified		Excuse me.
		All right.
		My prediction is that there is a calling on the nations of the world, and if we will answer and turn to our more spiritual roots, and I'm not saying just Christianity, but turn to our more spiritual roots, we will see an outpouring of blessing on all of us.
		And if we don't, we will be left as we are, and that's not enough on its own.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So I'm not sure what it is you're predicting.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		See, this is a prediction show.
unidentified		I am predicting that there will be a calling and that we need to answer it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You mean, like, from God?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Is that what you mean?
unidentified		Yeah, from God.
unidentified		In my case, in the case, you know, Judeo-Christian, yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How do you imagine this occurring?
		I mean, do you imagine that, like, it'd just be a clear day and the voice will come down from the sky.
		It's God.
		Something like that?
		Or, I mean, come on now.
		What?
unidentified		I'm not exactly sure how that would happen, to be honest with you.
unidentified		It's a feeling I get.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, he could take over all the radio and television stations and broadcast the message all at once everywhere.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That would be convincing.
unidentified		Well, that'd be exciting, wouldn't it?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It would be convincing.
		Yes, it would also be exciting.
		Yes.
		So there you have it.
		I'm going to record this as God Calls.
		God calls.
		Wouldn't that be something if suddenly every radio and television broadcast station were to be taken over by the Maker who had an announcement for those he had made?
		West of the Rockies.
		Wonder how to begin.
		West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Hi, Arbelle.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		Oh, it's great.
unidentified		You've really saved all of us that have been listening for so many years ever since Billy Goodman just dropped off the face of the planet.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Man, I don't know where Billy went.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I tracked him into New England, then I don't know where he went.
unidentified		That was so mysterious.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I know.
unidentified		One day it was sports of all things.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Anyway.
unidentified		I can't believe it.
		And so thank you for being there.
		Thank you for the show.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're most welcome.
unidentified		I really appreciate it.
		This is Randy from Troy.
		And my prediction is sort of a takeoff on the last one in that we're not going to respond.
		I think that the Supreme Court will have their hands tied.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You're saying God is going to call in some way.
unidentified		Well, God has called our country.
unidentified		God was institutional informing our country.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, we're predicting something here, not reviewing history.
unidentified		Yeah, that's my prediction.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		we're not going to respond so we're not going to go dot on all and we won't answer you know that the problem for what Well, hey, they're thrown in the clinker.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		They throw you in jail, yes.
unidentified		Yeah, go ahead.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		But I mean, trying to imagine what would happen if we didn't answer God.
unidentified		Well, we've been kind of turning our back on God for some time now, in case you haven't noticed.
		Our country has taken a wild swing.
		Just look at our pop culture.
		It's pretty scary.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Is it really?
unidentified		Yes.
		It's terrible.
		Christian bashing is allowed across the country, far and wide.
		Christian bashing is perfectly legitimate.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, to be honest with you, yes, Christian bashing.
		I mean, the Jews can be bashed and are.
		Every religion on earth is bashed in America.
		Yes, it is.
		See, there's a different way of looking at it.
		And that is we have freedom of speech, right?
		We have freedom to say things that might be disagreeable to other people.
		We have that freedom.
unidentified		Not exactly our freedom.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, we do.
		And that's part of what America is all about.
		That you can disagree.
		You can even say the government's full of it.
unidentified		Well, do you know what?
unidentified		If you go around saying things that are unpopular or that people don't like, you will lose your job.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, probably.
unidentified		You'll be a cast out.
		No one will speak to you.
		You won't be able to shop there.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, but that's not the same as being shot in other countries around the world.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, hey.
unidentified		You're right.
unidentified		You're right there.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		In other countries, they shoot you when they don't like what you say.
		Here, we don't do that.
		I mean, yeah, sure, you can make yourself a social outcast by saying idiotic stuff.
unidentified		Yeah, that's true.
unidentified		But like, you know, it's politically unpopular to say, no, don't get me wrong, I'm not a white supremacist, but you could never form like a white club at a college or anything like that, but you could have any other kind of.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So you're just angry at political correctness.
unidentified		Exactly.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, okay, but that's not the same as God calling and our not answering and all that stuff.
unidentified		Well, it is if you say what's going to happen to the pledge, taking God out of the Pledge of Allegiance.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I don't know.
		But I don't even know if all that is really a prediction.
		I suppose it is.
		Anyway, we're headed toward the light, folks.
		The new year, 2004, approaching my house right now.
		We'll take a special photograph in a moment.
		Twill be Ramona and myself, and it's the odds.
		Or say it louder.
unidentified		Happy New Year, everyone.
		The mist across the window hides the light, but nothing hides the colour of the lights that shine.
		Electricity is so fine.
		Look how dry you rise.
		Hey, life.
		Look at me.
		I can see the real time.
		It's been shuffling, tumbling.
		I know what I want to find.
		Suddenly I just hope I find what I found.
		When you find it, that's love that you can't hide.
		So you gotta do it alone.
		Take care of us.
		Then you better beware of us.
		What happened?
		When you get in love, when you get in love, you turn around.
		You find your way around your world.
		Well, that's it, folks.
		It's a new year here on the west coast.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And it's racing out across the ocean right now.
unidentified		From coast to coast, and worldwide on the internet.

		And now, sitting in for George Norway, here is Art Bell.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, indeed, stuff happens.
		Welcome, everybody.
		The new year has rolled across the West Coast, and here it is, 2004.
		It's pretty incredible when you think about it.
		Made it to another year, huh?
		Actually, I was surprised when I made it to the millennium, and here I am, here you are, four years later.
unidentified		Aaaaaah!
art bell ▲ ● ▼		you And now to check over a few more of the very meager number predictions made for the year 2003, we'll pick up at number 23.
		George Norrie adds 30 affiliates.
		I don't know.
		I don't know.
		I don't get those figures anymore, so I'm not privy to the information.
		So I question mark by that.
		Number 24.
		Dallas Stars win.
		You will have to help me out with that.
		I did not follow Dallas nor the Stars nor the Dallas Stars, so I have no idea.
		Another question mark.
		I'm not doing very well myself.
		The Raelians clone is not real.
		That's number 25.
		The Deraelians clone turns out to be not real.
		And you know what?
		There's another question mark.
		I really, I don't know what happened with that.
		I remember they announced the pregnancy, right?
		Remember that?
		They announced that the pregnancy had occurred.
		There were several people who had doubts about it.
		Scientists expressed some doubts about it.
		And I've not heard the follow-up.
		Have we had a birth of a human clone?
		I don't think so, but I don't know.
		So it gets a question mark.
		26, crop circles done, or to be revealed, that crop circles are done by college students.
		That one gets a definite ding.
		Indeed, we know many crop circles have been accomplished by college students.
		Not by far all, but many.
		Number 27, a triangular craft revealed by the U.S. government.
		Bong.
		I don't think so.
		I hope I'm not wrong.
		I'm going to bong that.
		Number 28, martial laws, martial law in some U.S. city.
		I do not believe that we've had martial law in any U.S. city during 2003.
		And number 29, that I would write a new book.
		bonk I have not written a new book although I I have It is what I am most intensely interested in.
		And so it would probably be on that subject.
		I haven't figured out it would obviously be a novel.
		Well, maybe in my case, I should not say obviously, huh?
		But it would, no, no, I can tell you it would be a novel.
		And I think I've been thinking a lot about it.
		So that could happen, but it did not happen in 2003.
		First time call online, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
unidentified		Hi, Arch.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hi.
unidentified		How are you doing?
		Okay.
		Hey, Happy New Year.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Very same to you.
unidentified		And Happy New Year to Ramona.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		As a matter of fact, we just took a picture together.
		Yeah, we did.
		So just around midnight.
		So if you go up to coasttocoastam.com up in the upper right-hand side and click on my webcam, it's over on the right instead of the left tonight.
		You'll see it.
		It's a pretty good picture, I think.
unidentified		You know, you are so in love with your wife.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I certainly am.
unidentified		I just love to hear you talk.
unidentified		You know, I'm kind of new to the program, and I've been listening to it, I would say, since August.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
unidentified		And I, you know, George Nori, of course, I was just like, oh my God, you know, I'm just in love with George Norrie because I'm an insomniac.
		So I, When I heard you, that was it.
		You're the guy.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		It's very kind of you.
		Do you have for me a prediction?
unidentified		A prediction.
		You know what?
		I'm going to tell you, Art.
		You know, I'm from Missouri.
		St. Louis, Missouri.
		And I was, and my name's Jude.
		And I was just thinking, you know, I think we are in for a hell of a depression.
		Really?
		I think we're in one.
		I think we're in.
		Pardon me?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
unidentified		You think we're in?
		Oh, definitely.
		I think we're, yeah.
		I think we are in a depression.
		I think we're in a functional depression.
		They try to call it a recession, but I mean, and I can see it coming, can't you?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, listen, technically, from an economic point of view, actually, I don't think we're even technically in a recession anymore.
		The market is 10,400 and something or another.
		You know, the NASDAQ appears to be recovering up over $2,000 and holding.
unidentified		I know.
		All that sounds good, but you know what, Art?
		You got to be around.
		I think that where you're at and you're doing real good.
		I mean, I'm saying real, real good, but you're doing good.
		You know that.
		And there are people that do that, but you've got to see, you know, like I'm a social worker, so I see a whole lot of stuff.
		Yeah.
		And it's bad.
		Well, I think it's better, you know, but I just think.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Have you considered the possibility that maybe it's your work which would expose you, you know, like a policeman sees the worst of people?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm sure that a social worker sees the most unfortunate of folks one way or the other.
unidentified		Absolutely.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And so your work may be influencing what you believe.
unidentified		Absolutely.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, all right.
		Well, nevertheless, I'll put it down that we're headed for a depression in 2004.
		I certainly hope not.
		And as I did mention, the numbers, from a national point of view, would indicate the economy to be improving right now.
		I mean, credit where credit is due.
		It does seem to be improving.
		The jobless numbers are falling.
		If you believe the government statistics regarding all of this and the stock market, then things would seem to be on the mend at the moment.
		Wildcard Line, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hello, Mr. Bell.
		Hello.
		Hi.
		I have a prediction.
		I think we're going to get nailed with an asteroid.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, my.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Asteroid hits Earth.
unidentified		Yep.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How big?
unidentified		I don't know that.
		I don't think it's going to be so big that it devastates the Earth.
		But I think it's going to wake us up a little bit and maybe get us started back into the space programs a little bit harder than we are.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I can tell you this.
		The people would definitely demand that we have a better warning system in place.
		In fact, I can almost, it's like I can close my eyes and I can see the Senate hearings that would happen after we got hit with something.
		And there would be all these recriminations about why didn't we spend the money to have early warning satellites, more early warning satellites up there?
		Why weren't there more observatories tasked to looking for something coming right at Earth?
unidentified		Well, sir, because it was coming right out of the sun and we couldn't see it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I mean, I can see the whole thing in my head now.
unidentified		Yep.
unidentified		And I truly believe that the American public should talk to their congressmen and say that we need to actually put a little bit more money than a million dollars or towards looking at that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, with a little bit of luck, which sounds like a song title, we won't all have to look up and see a small spot getting suddenly larger and larger and larger until there's hardly time to say, oh, shoot.
unidentified		That's right.
		Well, I'm a long-haul truck driver, and I've been seeing a lot of shooting stars lately.
		And matter of fact, today there was one that was so big that you could see it in the daylight, and I don't know, it probably dropped all the way to a mile above the horizon before it turned out.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The one that gets you, sir, thank you, will look like a small star when you first see it.
		It'll grow to the size of a grape in your eye, and then a, I guess, baseball and a basketball, and then three or four mutations after that.
		There'd be no question in your mind.
		We'd about get hit by big rock.
		Really big rock.
		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
unidentified		Hello, Mr. Bell.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hi.
unidentified		Hi.
unidentified		Happy New Year.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And to you.
unidentified		My prediction probably isn't as dire as everybody else's.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The last one was very dire.
unidentified		Yeah.
		But I think this one's going to be good for the people of Boston.
		I think the curse of the Bambino will finally be lifted to them in the World Series.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, really?
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Boston to win World Series.
unidentified		They're due for some kind of happiness up there.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, that would certainly be something, wouldn't it?
unidentified		Yes, it would.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		okay i've got it i mean is this something you really That sounds more like a hope to me than it does a revelation.
unidentified		Well, they hope year after year, but I think it's finally going to come true this year with some additions they had.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		All right.
		Thank you very much.
		I don't know.
		Now remember, you are supposed to have taken a quiet moment out.
		Should I really review all of this?
		And sort of let your mind go blank and try and imagine a major event that you truly believe that it comes to you will occur in the year 2004.
		I mean, you know the guy was a Boston fan, so I don't know if it quite came to him that way, or somehow I think it was more in the line of hope.
		Oh, West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Hello, this is Michelle.
unidentified		I'm calling from the big island of Hawaii.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, hello, Michelle.
unidentified		Hello.
unidentified		Art, I did follow your instructions on coming up with my prediction, and it's not good, but I felt I should call it in.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, that's your duty.
unidentified		I know.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Especially if you did it the right way.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And for that, I thank you because Last one I had sounded like a wish, you know.
unidentified		Right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, so Michelle thought really hard there on the big island and thought what?
unidentified		Well, what I have come up with is that I have the impression or the intuitive impression that 12 dirty bombs will be detonated simultaneously or 12 will be attempted in 12 major cities.
		And my impression is that 10 of them will actually be successful in detonating.
		And I actually have a list of the cities, which I can give to you if you want, or I won't.
		You let me know if you want me to give you the names of the cities.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You know what?
unidentified		What?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Go ahead.
unidentified		Okay.
		I'm starting on the West Coast, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, L.A., Chicago, Detroit, Houston, Dallas, New York City, Baltimore.
		And I kind of raised my eyebrows at that one.
		Why Baltimore?
		But Washington, D.C., and Miami.
		And that 10 out of 12, it would actually happen.
		So I just felt it was my, like you said, duty to call that in.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I do notice Las Vegas was not on your list.
unidentified		Yeah, it didn't come up for me.
		And I was doing this intuitively, impression-wise.
		So for some reason, it didn't.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, believe me, it is very carefully registered now as number 42.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And I sure hope it's wrong.
unidentified		I hope so, too.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, thank you.
		Thank you very much, Michelle.
		Yikes.
		I thought, why not?
		Go ahead and name the cities.
		That's her revelation on the big island of Hawaii.
		And I guess I want to take a second and again say to all of you, a dirty bomb is horrible.
		It's basically mid- or high-level, or even low-level, radioactive materials that are packed around conventional explosives and then detonated.
		And it's not a nuclear explosion.
		There would be some radiation damage, but only in the very immediate area.
		Very immediate.
		It would have a big psychological impact, but it would not be the end of the world by any means.
		But it would, of course, have a gigantic psychological impact.
		So if you hear of that happening, certainly it is an extremely serious matter, but it's not the end of the world scenario that many people think that it is.
		On the international line, you're on the air.
		Hi, where are you, please?
		Hello.
unidentified		Hello?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, hi.
unidentified		Oh, hi.
		Hi.
		Hi, Art.
		It's Colleen calling from Vancouver, British Columbia.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Vancouver, okay.
unidentified		Yeah, lots of snow here, New Year's Eve.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'll bet.
unidentified		Yeah, lots of snow.
		You know, I was thinking a little bit about this for a while before I called in.
		And I'm wondering about the SARS epidemic.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, it kind of didn't get started.
unidentified		Well, it ran its course through the east coast of Canada.
		It didn't really hit us here, but it looks like it's starting up again.
		And I'm just wondering if it's going to run its course through North America this time.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's a scary proposition, isn't it?
		Is it a prediction you're making?
		I mean, do you see SARS becoming epidemic?
unidentified		I think it, yeah, I could see it happening again, particularly with some new information that we've had out recently.
		But there's been another case that's been found in Hong Kong or in a part of China.
		I'm trying to think of the district.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You want to know something really, I guess, surprising from my point of view, and that is that SARS didn't become an epidemic last time.
		I mean, where my family's from.
		Well, no, I understand.
		But for once, but they did get it under control.
		They actually got hold of it.
		Now, I understand there's some leaks right now and one or two cases showing up here or there.
		But the worldwide epidemic that could have happened didn't happen.
		And I guess that's a tribute to, you know, modern medicine and isolation techniques and whatever.
unidentified		Good planning.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I guess.
unidentified		Good planning.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
unidentified		But, you know, I think what happens sometimes is it's one of those things that had a potential, it did a lot of damage in the Toronto area.
unidentified		And it had a potential to do a lot more damage.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Sure.
unidentified		And it sort of disappeared.
unidentified		It just disappeared so quickly.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		And it makes you wonder, you know, if it's coming back, perhaps a stronger strain, if I could say that.
unidentified		And it may, in fact, actually run its course through North America this time.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Of course, it's possible, but here's something to think about.
		If it's the same strain, the Chinese were able to contain it there.
		And you would think the Chinese, of the Chinese, as being least capable of containing it.
		I mean, much less capable of containing it than, say, the U.S. or Canada.
unidentified		Well, I have a friend from Hong Kong who was in Hong Kong during the epidemic last summer.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, yes.
unidentified		And apparently there were thousands more people sick than were reported worldwide through the news.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm sure it's true.
		But still in all, they did ultimately contain it even there, and it was scaring the out of me.
		I thought that was pretty scary anytime you get a new anything.
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It is.
unidentified		It was amazing the effect it had on the east coast of Canada or central Canada.
unidentified		Huge impact on the small towns.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It was.
unidentified		All the clinics, even here in British Columbia.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And it was not, well, of course, that's where it really impacted.
		But even here in the United States, it was big, big news.
		I mean, nobody knew what it was going to do, and it could have been, obviously could have been an epidemic.
		So if there were to be a change in the strain, the world could be in dire straits and danger indeed.
unidentified		And that is what sort of came to me, if you were wondering what my prediction is, is that it's not something I would hope in any stretch of the imagination.
unidentified		And it's almost scary to say, but you wonder if that is what's coming.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Boy, I sure hope not.
unidentified		I hope not, too.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		But do you you're you're telling me you really see this.
unidentified		Well, I felt this.
		This is what I'm saying.
		I considered it, thought about it, and then wondered, and then I just sort of felt this.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
		I appreciate it, Paul.
		Thank you.
		That's scary stuff.
		The strain changes, and SARS becomes epidemic.
		That is a scary one.
		Caps and trips and all that.
		I'm Mark Bell.

art bell ▲ ● ▼		Time does seem absolutely inevitable, doesn't it?
		I wonder if in the end it'll turn out time is malleable.
		We're predicting for the year 2004, and we'll get right back to it.
unidentified		We're predicting for the year 2004, and we'll get right back to it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Once again, we plunge into the business of predicting for the year immediately ahead.
		Now, that's a pretty serious matter.
		The year immediately ahead.
		Do you really think it will be marked by the kind of tragedy?
		Boy, I'll tell you, this is one dark list we're making this year.
		Really a dark list.
		And we're coming up on number 79 by my count.
		And so number 79, the first time caller line is on the air and no doubt prepared to put something in that position.
		Hello there.
unidentified		Hello, Art.
		This is just wonderful.
		This is Hannah, and I'm in Western Arkansas.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hi, Hannah.
unidentified		And I did just what you said.
unidentified		I sat down and asked to see some kind of a significant event.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Good.
unidentified		And what I first saw was Australia, which was kind of weird.
		And what I was seeing was Ayers Rock, and then I saw the land in front of it.
		And my feeling is that there's going to be a major archaeological discovery of some sort in Australia.
		In Australia.
		And I can't tell.
		Then I got overlays.
		I saw the land bridge and I saw water.
		And I can't tell what it is beyond that.
		But it feels like a significant archaeological discovery or event in Australia.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Very interesting.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What did you see that brought you to that conclusion?
unidentified		Well, it's because I got the feeling of history when I saw the rock.
		I didn't see any people.
		I just saw the big rock.
		I saw the landscape and the land, the dust, the dirt.
		And it was like it was saying, there's something more here.
		There's something we don't know.
		And my feeling is this is something that may be related to, you know how they always said there was a land bridge from Oceania?
		It may push that time back or give some kind of revelation about Australia that we just don't know.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, thank you.
		Thank you very much.
		Oh, yes, that would be very interesting.
		Anything that would confirm what we now don't know to be more than myth or legend or some dark tale passed on by man to man to man to man to generations and on through the generations.
		Something that would actually make one of those things of, for example, the discovery of Atlantis or any land bridge.
		Wildcardliner on the AI.
unidentified		Hey, Art, how are you doing?
		This is Mike in Perrysburg, Ohio.
		Very well.
		Yes.
		Followed your instructions too.
		And that last call is bizarre because the image I had was of a major event or discovery happening at the pyramids in Egypt.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
unidentified		Yeah, and what this is really bizarre.
		I mean, hearing that last call and then what I saw was like the Pyramid going up in the air and rotating, like realigning with the stars, and then like an hour later, the movie Stargate was on after this happened.
		So it was pretty bizarre.
		But I think something's going to happen there.
		Maybe, you know, something along the lines of what Edgar Casey predicted, but I think something's going to happen there.
		And also, just about George, I think that I'll bet when he comes back, he went back in time to see himself at some event in his life somewhere in his past.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You think so?
unidentified		Yeah.
unidentified		Yeah, because that's always been my, if I could go back in time, I would...
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, that might not be a pleasant experience.
		I appreciate your call.
		Thank you.
		Any past life review, for I think the majority of us, might not be necessarily a pleasant experience at all.
		What do you think?
		Or would it?
		I guess it would depend on where you went and what you were doing and all the rest of that.
		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Hi.
unidentified		Hello?
unidentified		Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		Oh, hi.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hi.
unidentified		I'm calling from 960WELI out of New Haven, Connecticut.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Very good, sir.
unidentified		Okay, now this was a premonition I had two nights ago.
		It was a dream.
		I woke up, and I usually get the Daily News newspaper, and it was dated April 13th, 2004.
		And the full-page cover story read, Legendary Radio.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		First time callers, area code 775-727-1222.
		Oh, no.
		See, I'm not going to let you air that.
		I'm going to Let's see.
		my recording uh...
		But that's all.
		I'm not going to air it.
		I asked some time ago at the beginning of the program that people not predict other people's deaths.
		And that's just what he did.
		So no, no.
		West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Oh, I'm Charlie on Kauai listening to KQNG Kong.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Kong, Radio.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I suppose the weather is eternally perfect, right?
unidentified		Oh, yes, it's just a little cold in the cold snap we've had, but it's still above 70.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's usually in the 80s.
		In Hawaii, a cold snap means it goes down to 70.
		Oh, man.
		All right.
unidentified		Okay, I have a good prediction for once.
unidentified		Very few.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, yes, you're darn right there have been few.
unidentified		Why do you think there have been so few good predictions?
		Maybe war and turmoil has just made us very unhappy.
		We don't see prosperity in abundance.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Maybe.
		All right.
		Well, you've got a good one, though.
unidentified		Okay, I predict that we'll have an energy source that turns heat directly into electricity, and it can run a toy for you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Heat to electricity.
unidentified		Just background heat from the air water, like in Hawaii we are 70 or 80 degrees, that would make its surroundings colder and make the equivalent amount of electricity.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So a perpetual motion machine or toy.
unidentified		Yeah, the second kind where you don't gain from nowhere, you just don't lose.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Free energy, in other words.
		Yeah, yeah, yeah.
		Well, we've had a lot of talks about that lately.
		You know, some of them far more technical than your sort of general prediction.
		And a lot of people feel the oil companies, sir, would not allow it.
		What do you think about that?
unidentified		They'll try, but the technology is getting better.
		And we have these advances in nanotechnology, and that'll do it.
		This thing is such a general-purpose machine, it'll be hard to suppress.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I mean, think about this for a second.
		If you were the inventor of a true, free energy, energy out-of-the-air type machine, do you think that more likely, I'll give you two scenarios.
		A, you are showered with literally billions, approaching trillions of dollars.
		You become the richest man in the entire world, richer than Bill Gates, richer than anybody, because you have the energy.
		Or do you think, B, you'd be deader than a doornail?
unidentified		I think it's in the middle that I am the inventor.
		I think it'll be a commodity.
		And I'll just have a good income, but not terrific.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Uh-huh.
		Well, I hate to be negative about your positive prediction.
		And you're claiming you have invented, right, a free energy device?
unidentified		Yeah, and Stephen Greer's group has looked at it, and there's a nanotechnology group trying to make it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Out of curiosity, what did Dr. Greer's group say about it?
unidentified		Well, I work through the administrative secretary.
unidentified		He says that it doesn't make enough power to immediately qualify, so he's watching, and he's looking for investors which will go downward from the more demonstrative things to more speculative things.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
unidentified		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you.
		So in other words, to be honest, he probably didn't put it high in the category of we're going to come and investigate.
		And I was really, actually, fairly serious about the question, and that is the A or B scenario.
		If you actually did discover, just going along with that argument for a second, that you did find the eternal source of energy, would you be showered with billions of dollars in the love of your fellow human beings, or would you be deader than a doornail?
		I really think the latter.
		International Line, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
unidentified		Hey, Art, this is Max from Candy Colling.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hey, Max.
unidentified		Hi, my prediction, since last time I did predict that you'd write a book, I got it right.
unidentified		So I'm going to predict that you're going to write another book.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
unidentified		That's right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, it's number 83, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		write another book, huh?
unidentified		Yeah, I'm not sure of the topic, but I feel that it may get a hint towards being possibly hit towards the movies.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
		All right.
		Well, we shall see.
		I've had another book in my head, which is the beginning of the end.
		Usually, when it comes to books, it will haunt you until you sit down and do it.
		When you write books, that's the way it is.
unidentified		Okay, I was going to just say, because I was noticing your webcam pick again this year.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh.
unidentified		Hold on synchronicity, because last year's pick was one second after as well.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The initial picture indeed was taken one second after, but then I added a little contrast to it, and now it's two minutes and something.
		But you are quite correct, and in that regard, I try and time those pictures so that it occurs right at midnight.
		This time, I pulled the picture off and added a little contrast and put it back.
		But the original picture, he is absolutely correct, was taken at one second after midnight.
		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hello.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Time callers, area code 775-727-1222.
		Hold it, hold it.
		We're not allowed to take last names on the air.
		So, Mike.
unidentified		Michael.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Michael.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, Michael, you're on the air.
unidentified		Okay, my prediction is I'm calling from the Valley of Light, the Middle East.
unidentified		My prediction is the return of Christ.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		In 2004?
		Yes.
		Why?
		Why 2004?
unidentified		Settle all the arguments.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Think that it'll do that?
unidentified		Yep.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I guess it would.
		If he came back and it became Judgment Day, well, all arguments would be moot, right?
		West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Hey, what's up?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You at the moment?
unidentified		All right.
unidentified		This is Jordan on the big island.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Of Hawaii.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, sir.
unidentified		That's right.
		Man, I can't believe I got through.
		I've been trying for like five years.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And here you are.
unidentified		All right.
unidentified		Well, I've got a bad prediction.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Of course.
unidentified		It goes along with one that a lady already called in and kind of predicted already.
unidentified		But I had this vision in a dream a few months ago, and it's been haunting me ever since.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Let us have it.
unidentified		And, well, it's a dirty bomb in Chicago.
		And possibly more than one.
		And when I was talking, I already reported this to an agent that works for the CIA.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I am curious about something.
		I mean, obviously, this is a very dire prediction for you to make.
		When you reported to the FBI, or I'm sorry, you said the CIA.
unidentified		An agent that works for the CIA.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		How was that accepted?
unidentified		Well, they're actually close friends of mine, so they accepted it pretty well, and they sent a memo to the agency.
		And they said they know it is a psychic phenomenon, but the CIA has worked with that a lot in the past.
		So they actually have a lot of things.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		They may be doing officially even a lot more of it than they're admitting right now because they did admit they had the 20-year remote viewers program.
		They did admit that, you know, all the millions spent on that.
		So, yeah, I'm sure they've never given up on pursuing intuitives.
unidentified		And there's something else I wanted to add about that that convinced me to call you.
		And I can't believe I got through, so it must be synchronicity.
		But when I was telling this woman about it, I just had this vision.
		I said, it's really bothering me.
		Chicago.
		She said, well, it is the windy city.
		And when she said that, the light in her bedroom over her head clicked on right when she said it.
		And that just was kind of like a sign to me.
		Well, I try to pay attention to little things like that.
		And I kind of took that as some sort of a sign.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Duly recorded number 85.
unidentified		We love you, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Appreciate the call.
unidentified		Don't ever stop.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Take care.
		That's very dire indeed.
		Dirty bomb in Chicago.
		You know, every time I say this, though, I'm going to keep repeating.
		As awful as a dirty bomb is, if you do a little bit of study regarding dirty bombs, which again are some level of plutonium, hopefully a fairly low-level or mid-level plutonium, as opposed to high-level, really poisonous for the next gazillion years kind of plutonium, that's a very high level.
		You would hope that it would be a very localized event, like a chemical attack is thought it would be.
		It certainly would have devastating psychological impact on the U.S., but you all should know that the actual number of deaths involved would probably not be many.
		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Hello.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hi.
unidentified		Hi.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Where are you calling from?
unidentified		Palm Coast, Florida.
		Okay.
		My name is Matt.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, Matt.
unidentified		And my prediction is it's not a really bad one.
		It's about running.
		The marathon record will be broken in Berlin by 13 seconds.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Marathon record broken in where?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Berlin?
unidentified		Yeah.
		Just like how it was this year.
		Or last year now.
		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm sorry, 13 seconds?
unidentified		13 seconds.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, got it.
		Thank you.
		Why are you predicting this?
unidentified		Well, um, it's been getting lower and lower every year, and it's just it's got to happen this year.
unidentified		I just know it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So you're not predicting this because of an exact vision.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, you're just sort of projecting what you think might happen based on what did happen, huh?
unidentified		Yeah, pretty much.
unidentified		Yeah, that's.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
		I should probably eject that like a bad dream.
		But I am not going to.
		I will nevertheless put it down.
		I did urge everybody to try and make these predictions based on some insight, some seeing, some knowing, and toward that end, quiet your mind and try and come up with it that way.
		But I'll put it down in the spirit of the new year.
		On the international line, you're on the air.
		Where are you calling from, please?
		Hello?
		Going once.
		Going twice.
		Go on.
		West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Hi, where are you?
unidentified		I'm located in Sedona, Arizona.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, we don't have a whole lot of time, so it's going to be number 87 if you have come to predict.
unidentified		Okay, Art, it's KE3KR.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Chuck, yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Go ahead, Chuck.
unidentified		Okay, um, yeah, basically my prediction is that we will find the missing 727 from Africa, and we will find it with OTHP.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, thank you, Chuck.
unidentified		Thanks a lot.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Right, missing 727.
		And as you know, there is a missing 727 from Africa.
		It's a very, very, very, very, very serious situation indeed.
		I mean, where could it be and what could it be carrying?
		i heard some some kind of worrisome things about the way it was configured when it was taken you can make this bigger a king a kind of a poem I'll give you all that I want you got me standing in my head
unidentified		music
		Tonight we won me all the way to something.
		I'm a best friend.
		We're going for those pleasures in the night.
		I want to love you, feel you, wrap myself around you.
		I want to squeeze you, squeeze you.
		I just can't get enough.
		And if you move real slow, I'll let it go.
		I'm so excited.

		And now, sitting in for George Snowy, here is Art Bell.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The final hour for official predictions.
		And I will continue to number them, and we're doing very well, incidentally.
		They were up to number 88 as compared to last year's pathetic 37.
unidentified		So, let me...
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Let me review the last of the last.
		ArtBuild's Time Machine would be number 30, and that gets big bonk.
		I don't have to build one.
		I have one.
		I have never used it.
		Number 31 was more car accidents than ever.
		Huh.
		You know what?
		I think that's a bonk.
		I think that I saw a news story indicating that there had been actually fewer car accidents in the U.S., but I'm open to being wrong on that one.
		Vice President Cheney goes back to the bunker.
		Do you know?
		I think that's a ding.
		I think there was an occasion, wasn't there?
		Some quick concern they had, which I can't recall.
		I'm going to tentatively ding that.
		I think he did.
		Number 33, that civil liberties will be eroded.
		And I'm going to give that a ding because, well, they have been.
		As we fight terrorism, like it or hate it, and a lot of people really hate it, our civil liberties are, no question, eroded about.
		As a matter of fact, you know, while tonight has been, for the most part, free of any difficulty, there was a jet detained at a major airport.
		I'll have more on that story in a moment.
		So our civil liberties, they've definitely been eroded.
		Number 34, the Iraelians would be in a movie.
		And I'm pretty sure that's a ding, ding, ding, ding.
		There was a TV movie about them, I think.
		Number 35, Bin Laden not found.
		Ding, ding, ding, definitely has not been found.
		And of course, that's a pretty good call because last year at this time, we were pretty darn certain we'd have them by now, right?
		Number 36 concerns something that concerns China and I don't know what.
		So I didn't properly transcribe that one.
		Sorry about that.
		Number 37 is there would be action in Korea and I believe that's a bonk.
		I do believe that's a bonk.
		So let me cast this aside and now, rather than the past, let us look.
		And by the way, in rating I would say perhaps one in four of those were correct, which is not bad.
		Not bad.
		One in four when you're dealing with general and specific predictions for a year, one in four isn't nearly as bad as you would think.
		Hopefully this year, and I should have put a little asterisk by each one I thought really was not discerned through the method that we've described, but rather was a hope or a guess or something.
		Yes, here we have it.
		Travelers questioned after Dulles landing, FBI and Homeland Security Department officials boarded a British Airways jet shortly after it landed at Washington Dulles International on Wednesday night and detained 247 passengers for about three hours.
		Homeland Security Security, speaking on a condition of anonymity, did not say that the incident involved terrorism.
		That's very interesting.
		So they went through, the baggage went through screening, and they went through screening, and so that's very interesting.
		If it was not suspected terrorism, one can only wonder what that would have been.
		First time caller line.
		Other than that, it's been a quiet night so far.
		First time caller line, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hi.
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
unidentified		Oh, okay, I'm on.
		Yeah, how are you doing?
		Your announcer, is that Ross Mitchell?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That is indeed Ross.
unidentified		Yeah, this is Dean up in Carson City.
unidentified		He's got a voice like a lion, doesn't he?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, there's no mistaking that voice.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		One of a kind, you know.
unidentified		That's what I thought.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And a lot of people out there think that Ross, when he does that, you know, really puts on the dog, really lowers his.
		He doesn't.
		This is natural.
unidentified		Yeah, I was going to say, I talked to him one time here.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's a real Ross.
unidentified		Yeah, and he goes lower than that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		He's incredible.
		I know.
		It's like I love him doing them, and I begged him to do them, and he does, of course.
		But it's always a little intimidating coming on after that voice.
unidentified		Now, when you hear him on the phone talking personal to him, man, it sounds like you're calling a lion's dinner.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Sounds like you're calling God, actually.
unidentified		Don't tell him that.
		We have enough problems with him.
		Well, look, I have a prediction that I have some friends that are going over to check out.
		They're going on a tour, and they're establishing it to go to Mount Ararat at the end of their tour.
		They're going to Greece and this and that and so on.
		And I was going to try to get in touch with them because they said they've seen the Ark on Mount Ararat and they're going up there again.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, you know, I wonder how many in the audience have seen the pictures that do exist of Mount Ararat.
		And there is what appears to be a large ship in the side of Ararat.
		It really does.
		I hope that picture is real.
		And I hope that the group you're talking about proves it's real.
		It would be really something, wouldn't it?
unidentified		I was hoping you can put me on with the associate.
		I'll give him all this stuff.
		I'd like to see you make a program out of it.
		I don't have it after when they get back.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Sir, I don't have associates.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm sitting here doing a show by myself.
unidentified		Oh, did you answer that before then?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
unidentified		Oh, I didn't even recognize your voice.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, see, there you are.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I do this all the time.
unidentified		There's a way that I can give you a phone number that can catch me a little later.
unidentified		But I predict, you know, God only knows.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Send me the future.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Send me email.
unidentified		I don't have a computer.
unidentified		What?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What?
unidentified		You know, I'm 69 years of age.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So what?
unidentified		I know.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Get a computer.
unidentified		And I've gotten this far in life.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I know, but look.
unidentified		But you're right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Trust me on this.
		Trust me on this.
		What's your voice office box?
		Not active at the moment.
		Trust me on this when I tell you that getting a computer you will regard, I promise you, as one of the best things you've ever done.
		With the kind of interests you've got, the world will open.
		I mean, you can go in there and you can research Ararat, for example, and you can find everything ever researched or done about Ararat, okay?
		You need to get a computer.
unidentified		I'm about ready to do so.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, good.
		Well, all right, then listen very carefully.
		My email address is as follows, artbell at mindspring.com or artbell at aol.com.
		Very easy.
		A-R-T-B-E-L-L, all in lowercase at either one of those addresses will send something to me at light speed.
		And again, I charge you with going to get a computer and learning about a computer.
		And I don't care what your age is, it's the key to the world out there.
		Wildcard line, you are on the air.
		Hi.
unidentified		Hello, Art.
		Hello.
		Hi.
		My name's Joel from L.A. Okay, Joel.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The mighty KFI, of course.
unidentified		Yeah, there we go.
		There we go.
		Best station there.
		I wanted to give you my prediction.
		It's sort of something that has, you know, I've seen for quite a while, you know, but I feel that the American government already knows where bin Laden is and weapons of mass destruction.
		I believe that later on this year, these things will be found.
		And it's sort of like it makes me feel like this stuff is going to be found just before the election on both counts, on both those counts.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, both bin Laden and weapons of mass destruction found.
		That really would be something.
		But do you honestly believe that they, A, know where bin Laden is, know where the WMDs are, and will actually hold this information and then have a sort of a pseudo-discovery right before the election?
		You are that cynical.
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, you feel that.
unidentified		I am.
		I don't know.
		I think I really feel that they have a really good handle on what's going on.
		I just really feel that.
		And I don't believe that, even though, you know, I mean, a lot of people talk about that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I want to believe that.
		But, see, I don't believe all the way down your road, but I do want to believe, thank you very much.
		And by the way, you're recorded as number 89.
		I want to believe that we've got a handle on it.
		And as ever so slight evidence of that, I would indicate so far, so good tonight.
		I hope that I'm not slapped in the face with some horrible headline in the morning.
		But so far, so good.
		We've gone through the Christmas holiday and early into the new year, very early, without incident.
		There's still the Rose Bowl parade, and I guess then the holiday sort of finishes, right?
		And we got through it, which is a good sign, in my opinion.
		And if Al-Qaeda really was stronger, as was suggested by an earlier caller, then I think something else would have happened by now.
		But I could be horridly wrong.
		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Hi.
unidentified		Yes, hello, Arg.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hi.
unidentified		That's Keith in Ontario.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hey, Keith.
unidentified		Much like a prediction I made a few years ago on your show about a spreading pestilence worldwide, an NK mad cow, footmouth, and anthrax.
		Yes.
		My prediction for this year is yet another deadly disease, much like SARS to hit this world.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Human-born disease.
		Yes.
		Do you think it will be a new disease for the human race, or it will be something that jumps from some animal to human beings or what?
unidentified		It could be a little bit of the both.
		I think something's going to evolve, but either way, it's going to be definitely for people.
		Yeah, it's going to hit people.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Captain Tripp's time?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I mean, you know, just this time racing across humanity?
unidentified		Pardon me.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		In other words, the end of the world, sort of?
unidentified		Oh, no, no, nothing that big.
		But again, something like SARS.
		It's going to be pretty hard-hitting.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
		All right.
		I appreciate the call.
		Thank you.
unidentified		Yep.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That could easily be.
		China would appear to be, or portions of China appear to be, a breeding ground because of the proximity of the people in China.
		You know, they're packed together in very small spaces, and, of course, something like this were to get loose.
		West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hi.
unidentified		Yeah, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello.
unidentified		Hi, how are you tonight?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm very well.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What is your first name?
unidentified		Gretchen.
unidentified		I'm calling from San Bernardino.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you.
unidentified		And I get KFI out here.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, of course you do.
unidentified		I love you.
		I don't mean it in a bad way, but...
		Anyways, I'll call about the predictions because I was thinking really hard, and I was thinking something about Big Ben and time, right?
		So it came to me, like, on the 5th of May, something has kind of happened to Big Ben on the face of the clock.
		I don't know what it is, but all I could get, it was about time, and it was a face, and it had to do with time.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
unidentified		It was just really weird because I was telling my sister today about the predictions, and she goes, well, what?
		In the United States?
		I go, no, anywhere in the world.
		I go, you can make them.
		And she thought my prediction was kind of strange.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I think it's strange, too.
		Now, something happens to Big Ben.
		Do you mean that something physically actually occurs to the clock itself, Big Ben?
		Or are you suggesting that there's some sort of manipulation of time in the world?
		I'm not clear.
unidentified		It's like something physically is going to happen to the face.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Oh, all right, gotcha.
unidentified		Okay, it's just, I don't know, it struck me weird, and it's on Cico de Mayjo too, which is really weird.
unidentified		So, you know, we'll see what happens.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Duly recorded number 91.
		You see, we're doing so well.
		We're going to make over 100 if I concentrate here.
		You're on the air of Coast Coast AM.
unidentified		Hi.
unidentified		Hi.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hi, where are you?
unidentified		Washington State.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Washington State.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And your first name is?
unidentified		I got through.
		Oh, wow.
		I was so excited.
		This is Britta.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And you no doubt have a prediction for me, I'll bet.
unidentified		Yes, I do.
		Oh, I'm talking to Arbill.
		Wow.
		That's so cool.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, it's only all right.
		It's not that big a deal.
		Really, it isn't.
		It's just me.
		Okay, so.
unidentified		No, it is.
		All right, good.
		And I have a wonderful prediction for you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Wonderful as in good?
unidentified		Well, it's a little off-center, I think.
unidentified		You were looking for big things, but I have a prediction.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		This is wonderful as in weird.
unidentified		No.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
unidentified		This is wonderful as in I'm a small person in a big world.
		And I kind of wrote some stuff down because I wanted to do something a little different.
		Because my life is small in a big world.
		But my life contributes to a part of this world.
		And I have to belong.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Do the wild thing at 775-727-1295.
unidentified		And so I just wanted to do something a little different in not predicting earthquakes and things like that, but predicting that I'm going to contribute to this world.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		In some small way, at least.
		All right.
		Got it.
		That also does not qualify as exactly a prediction.
		That's more of a, well, a resolution, like you'd make a New Year's resolution.
		I'm going to do something good for the world.
		Right?
		The End I'm determined to get to 100, but I've got to hurry.
		First time caller line, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hi.
		Hello?
		Hi.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hi.
unidentified		Yeah, is this Art?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes.
		And only you can help me get all the way to 100 by hurrying.
		Your first?
unidentified		Okay.
unidentified		This is Gary in the Lubbock, Texas.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, Gary.
unidentified		And I'm predicting that after we get Iraq stabilized, that we will then go ahead and our leaders will go ahead and liberate Iran.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		U.S. liberates Iran?
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Uh-huh.
unidentified		That might have already started with that earthquake.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, boy, that's a heck of a way to liberate a country, is crush its citizens, huh?
unidentified		Well, politics is politics.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, but that's not politics.
		That's killing thousands of people.
		Innocent civilians.
		Under mud.
unidentified		Yeah.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah.
		That's what it is.
		I don't think we did that.
		I hope we didn't do that.
		And that's liberation of the kind that we usually try not to do.
		Wildcard line, you're on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Hi, Art.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hi.
unidentified		Hi, this is David sitting in a control room in wonderful upland California listening to you on 6.40 a.m.
		Talk Radio.
		More talk than human containers allowed to have in one evening.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
unidentified		And I've got a kind of weird predicament.
		I had a prediction that I was going to make about terrorist activity this month.
		And I'm a remote viewer trained by Ed James.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Terrorism in December, you mean?
unidentified		No, in January.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, yes.
unidentified		And in gleaning the information, we go to a source to get information, although this wasn't remote viewed.
unidentified		I'm also a healer and trained in other modalities.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, we don't have a lot of time here.
unidentified		I'll be real quick.
		In the same source that gave me the information asked me not to reveal it.
		So I had to swap to another prediction that other people have been experiencing that have been emailing George in regards to his tsunami.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It's like you're calling me up to tell me a prediction that you can't tell me about.
unidentified		So that's the weird predicament that I'm in.
		And I feel very awkward about it.
		It's very weird.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You shouldn't have even told me that you can't tell me.
		But I'll put down tsunami anyway.
		Number 93, actually.
		A lot of people think tsunami.
		Is that correct?
unidentified		We shall see.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		From the high desert, I'm Art Bell.
unidentified		I'm in my bed and hear the clock tick and think of you.
		Caught up in circles, confusion is nothing new.
		Much better than one guy.
		Long as I remember the beam had coming down.
		Clouds of mystery forest, confusion on the ground.
		Goodness drew the angels, trying to find the sun.
		And I wonder, still I wonder, who's left the rain in the air.
		From coast to coast and worldwide on the internet.

art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'll tell you, I'm not sure who's going to stop the rain of bad predictions.
		We've had some pretty rough ones here, folks, and I just had a string of them.
		I am determined to crack 100 this time around.
		So we're about to have a kind of rain of predictions, if you will, in this last half hour.
		Stay right where you are.
unidentified		Stay right where you are.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right, I need some serious support here to get to 100.
		That means that all of you have got to be fairly brief.
		First time caller line, you're on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Hi, this is Duke from Connecticut on WTSC 1080.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yo, Duke.
unidentified		My prediction is that a patent will be filed for the production of biosynthetic fuels, which will turn the petroleum markets upside down.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Synthetic fuels.
unidentified		Yeah, that's using bacteria to produce precursors for various fuels instead of extracting it from petroleum.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, that's very interesting, and it, too, would carry with it the same question I asked somebody earlier.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That is, if you actually filed a patent like that, do you think you would make A, billions of dollars, or B, end up dead?
unidentified		Well, I don't know.
unidentified		Actually, I think if anything, anyone who stood in the way would end up dead because it would be worth trillions.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, all right.
		Very good.
		Thank you.
		That's a good answer to that question, I guess.
		Wildcard line, or a hopeful one.
		You're on the air.
unidentified		Good evening, sir.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Good evening.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Your first name?
unidentified		I am the Great Predicto.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The Great Predicto?
		All right, Predicto.
		Do it.
unidentified		I predict that evidence will appear that is so conclusive they will force Richard the Goglin to abandon his theory regarding the mission.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		All right.
		So incontrovertible evidence, how should I put this, that disproves Hogan's theories.
		It could happen.
		The pictures that he wants could, I suppose, go the other way.
		And then his theory would be wrong.
		So he could be wrong.
		Uh East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hi.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello.
unidentified		Hello, Art.
		Yes.
		I'm sorry.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Don't be sorry.
		Just proceed.
		You're Paul?
unidentified		Paul, Omaha.
		Okay.
		KFAB, 50,000 watts.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		KFAB, oil, big monster there.
unidentified		Yes.
unidentified		I predict that Arbell, during a news break, will step out of his back deck to smoke a cigarette and forget that the workers had removed the deck and fall like a sack of potatoes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, well, we're not here to recite history.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What's the matter with you?
unidentified		Actually, Saddam Hussein will go on trial in October or November.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You know, with my luck, I'd go back in time in a time machine, and I'd walk out that damn same mid-air crash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So what was your prediction?
unidentified		Saddam will go on trial in October or November and help George Bush's election.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, that would be some trial, wouldn't it?
		That's pretty hopeful.
		Thank you, because they've said that they will not try him until Iraq is stabilized, and it doesn't appear to be in any danger of stabilizing at the moment, so it may be a while.
		West of the Iraqis, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hi.
		Hi.
		I know that you want me to be fast.
		If possible, I have two predictions.
		One, your health is going to improve.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, it is getting better.
		You know, some incredible person, ma'am, noticed that in the picture that I just took on the webcam with my beautiful wife, Ramona, that my wedding ring was on my middle finger.
		And I thought, man, is that astute or what?
		It is because it won't fit on my ring finger anymore because I have lost 60 pounds this year.
		Well, last year.
unidentified		I do see that your health is going to really improve this year.
		And my second prediction isn't necessarily for this new year.
		It's between 2006 and 2010.
		I predict that Denver is going to be the new U.S. capital.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That carries with it a lot of negativity, possible negative thoughts.
		Denver, the next U.S. capital.
		Well, my health has already improved.
		My back, as you know, was just giving me real fit.
		i mean it was it was really bad i was having a But losing all this weight has been entirely beneficial to my back.
		It has helped a very, very, very great deal.
		International Line, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hi.
		Hello.
		Hello.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Where are you calling from, sir?
unidentified		My name's Dawn, and I'm from Winnipeg, Manitoba.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And you have a prediction, I hope.
unidentified		Yes.
unidentified		Actually, it was something I was shown after having a stroke.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		It came to you after you had a stroke?
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, and what is your prediction?
unidentified		That I believe it's this year that all the stock markets are going to crash.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Another negative.
		All the stock markets crash.
		Well, things are going the other way right now, and they're kind of encouraging.
		And it looks like the economy is going to improve.
		I hate to rein on your crash.
		First time caller line, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hi.
unidentified		Hi.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		You would be prediction number 99 if you have one for me.
unidentified		Yes, I do.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm listening.
unidentified		My prediction, I've had a premonition about Cuba.
		Oh.
		I don't.
		I can't predict death, but I see civil war.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		In Cuba?
unidentified		Mm-hmm.
unidentified		Yes.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, if Castro dies, I'm not sure, to be honest with you, what the prospects are for a civil war in Cuba should Castro pass away.
		There probably certainly would be an immediate gigantic power vacuum, and if Castro is not provided for his succession properly, or the United States could take that as the end of the promise not to invade Cuba.
		I don't know.
		A lot could happen.
		But you see Civil War.
		That's very interesting.
unidentified		Yes, I do.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
		Duly registered as number 99.
		Thank you so much.
		And now I can relax because here comes number 100.
		Wildcard line, you're on the air.
unidentified		Yes.
		John from Huntsville.
		Hi, John.
		This hinges on something that could happen, well, probably will happen this year.
		Assuming George W. Bush is re-elected.
		Assuming.
		Well, first let me ask, do you know exactly on a year wherein a term, a presidential term, a president or vice president has to serve into to be considered for his pension for that year?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, I really don't.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I would think that.
unidentified		Maybe like the two-year point or something?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, no, I really, I mean, officially, I would have no way of knowing.
		A president is either usually going to serve out a term, it's always been the case, or they die unexpectedly or they're assassinated or, you know, all kinds of things happen.
		But I don't think there's ever been an issue of tenure.
unidentified		Yeah, I thought there was like some kind of cut-off point where you had to be.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Why do you ask?
unidentified		Well, I believe that soon after that appoint goes, assuming that it exists, assuming George W. Bush is re-elected, that Cheney, Vice President Cheney, will step down after that point.
unidentified		So let's say it's the two-year point.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So Cheney steps down after election.
unidentified		Well, I'm assuming there's a point he has to serve through, because I think I heard somewhere there is a cutoff date.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yeah, that could be.
		Maybe you're right.
		I would, you know, look, I think Dick Cheney, if he wanted to step down and remain in government service to cover some sort of retirement point, I Would think he could do that nearly in any place in government that he wanted to, wouldn't you?
		But you believe he'll stay until that point and then leave.
		East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Hello.
unidentified		Hi.
unidentified		Hi.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		What is your first name, and you'll have to speak to?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, you're 101 when you make your prediction, but I can barely hear you, so you're going to have to yell at me.
unidentified		Okay.
		I predict that by credible science, they're going to discover that we can travel through planes.
		And I don't of existence.
		I don't know if they're going to actually perfect it this year, but it will be announced.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, we'll put dimensional travel discovered.
		How's that?
		That way it doesn't have to be down to the buying a ticket stage, but if they discover that anything or a living tissue can travel through what we'll call dimensions, that will suffice to make it a winner.
		A ding.
		West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
		Hi.
unidentified		This is Bob and Linda from Fairbanks, Alaska.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, hi.
		Bob and Linda?
		Pardon me?
		Did you say Bob and Linda?
unidentified		Right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
unidentified		Husband and wife.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I've got you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
unidentified		All right.
unidentified		And we're sure happy that you're back on the air, aren't you?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		We'll think better.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thanks.
unidentified		We think a lot of you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you.
unidentified		And our prediction is one of your callers in 2004 will be JC.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		We thought we'd lighten it up a little for you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		J-C calls in 2004, huh?
unidentified		Right.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, I've been getting emails from JC.
		I should reveal.
		I should reveal.
		Actually, Jay C and Edna both.
		I'm not convinced that Edna is any real relation of Jay-Z's, but it's certainly in some way related.
		It may even be J-C, for all I know.
		A lot of people thought Jay-Z was Phil Henry.
		It just isn't true.
		Or if it is, then it's Phil Henry getting through as Phil Henry because I guarantee you, none of this is planned.
		Jay-C, wherever he is out there, is a real human being.
		Despite audio evidence that would seem to lead to the contrary.
		All right.
unidentified		I kind of agree with you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Thank you very much.
		Take care.
		Yes, JC is the JC that is who calls this program.
		Ladies and gentlemen, you may not have ever heard any of those calls.
		First time caller line, you're on the air.
		Hi.
unidentified		Hi.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Hello.
		JC.
		Not the JC I know and I'm wary of.
		How you doing, buddy?
unidentified		Okay, man.
		Hey, I've got some topics for you for the next year.
		Maybe you can come up with some telemaraise.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, wait.
unidentified		Tell me.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		No, no, wait.
		Wait, wait, wait.
		It's predictions that we want.
unidentified		I predict that you're going to find these topics irresistible.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, go ahead and do it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I'm pretty sure.
unidentified		Now you can use it later.
		Okay, telomerase.
		It's like the trip or the end of a human cell.
		You mean that death wave replicating itself?
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That little ticking time bomb that says how long we're going to live, actually.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Telomeres.
unidentified		Yeah.
		I predict that they're going to find a way to take the cancer that has a knack of doing that.
		It replicates its telomerease forever.
		They're going to put it and make longevity into the human being.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		All right.
		Well, wild as what he just said sounds, it is possible that I suppose if they discover what sets the length of the telomeres, and then they conquer cancer,
		that they will have conquered at least possibly the answer to human beings' ultimate longevity.
		Maybe into living forever.
		That's where you'd be if you did that.
		First time call our line, you're on the air.
		Hi.
unidentified		Hello, Art.
		Hello.
		I can't believe I got through.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		But yet here you are.
unidentified		Okay, this is Lenny from Waterford Works, New Jersey.
unidentified		Listen at 1210 WTHC out of Philly.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		New Jersey.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Yes, sir.
unidentified		Okay.
		The other day I was listening to the predictions, and this guy predicted an ancient civilization that they were going to find buried on Earth.
		Right.
		Well, my prediction is that thing they sent up to Mars that they're going to see like three miles into the surface, they're going to find that ancient civilization up there.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, that certainly will shake things up, won't it?
		Really?
		Uh-huh.
unidentified		How will you react?
unidentified		I kind of expect it.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So you wouldn't be surprised?
		No.
		What impact do you think, though, it would have on the rest of the world?
unidentified		I don't know.
unidentified		I think everybody would have the same reaction that I would have.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		The religions would be rushing to adjust.
		All right, brother.
		Thank you.
unidentified		Okay, nice talking to you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		And to you.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Wildcard line, you're on the air.
unidentified		Hi.
		Hi, Mr. Bell.
		I'm calling in with a prediction and a request, if I may.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay, prediction first.
unidentified		Okay, prediction is I'm predicting that a young girl is going to capture the headlines around the world this coming year in much the same way that Alien Gonzalez did a few years back.
unidentified		Although it'll be something to do with her health rather than political status or refugee situations or anything like that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Young woman, preferably, I guess it's someone we would all know, some media star or something like that?
unidentified		No, no, she's going to be an unknown.
unidentified		It's going to be the character or the basis of her story that's going to capture everyone's attention.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
unidentified		Yeah.
unidentified		I was doing a meditation, and this is what came to me.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's exactly the way I wanted people to Approach these predictions, and thankfully the majority have done so, and I'm glad you did.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		That's a very interesting prediction.
unidentified		Well, I didn't want to have someone dying or terrorism, that sort of thing.
unidentified		I was hoping for something different, something that we could really test my, I guess, my capabilities.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Well, do you know anything about this young girl?
		Anything further that you haven't told us?
		I mean, any hints of why she'll capture the headlines?
unidentified		No, no.
		The only thing I got beyond that was a vision of her.
		She sports a page boy haircut, and she favors frock dresses over pants or anything like that.
		That's really all I got.
		Usually when these things happen to me, I get so freaked out, I cough them right away.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Really?
unidentified		I just get a glimpse and a hint of what's going on, and I get so excited it's over.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Okay.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Just out of curiosity, do these come to you frequently?
unidentified		No, not very often, in fact.
		When I'm doing meditation, sometimes I'll get pictures, but again, very briefly.
		And no, not very often.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		I've always wondered about that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So it comes in the form of pictures during meditation.
unidentified		Yes, I'll see a picture and then I'll have a brief burst of information as background.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Being brutally honest with yourself and with me for the purpose of the show, how frequently do your visions turn out to be true?
unidentified		they are not always visions of events or things coming to pass.
unidentified		Typically they're simply visions that I think are typical of...
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Of those precognitive type experiences you've had, how many have come true?
unidentified		A handful.
		And they're never world-shaking events.
		They're always small things.
		But a handful throughout the course of my life, I would have to say.
		Ten, maybe.
		Something like that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So do you put this high on the list of probability to occur?
unidentified		Actually, I would say moderate because I was kind of trying hard.
		I mean, typically I don't try for these things.
		They just happen.
		But today I specifically, of course, wanted to look for an event that I could bring to you as a prediction for next year.
		So I doubt that.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		So you had to quickly wolf one up like a hairball.
unidentified		Something like that.
unidentified		So the validity might be different.
art bell ▲ ● ▼		Listen, our time is up.
		I've got to go.
		Okay.
		Thank you very much, and thank you all very much.
		That completes the list at 104 from the high desert.
		Good night.
unidentified		Good night in the desert, shooting stars across the sky.
		This magical journey will take us on a ride.
		Filled with the longing, searching for the truth.
		But we make it to tomorrow when the sun shines on you.
