Coast to Coast AM with Art Bell - Predictions for 2007 part 1
| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
From the high desert and the great American Southwest, I bid you good evening, good morning, good afternoon, wherever you may be in the world.
Ladies and gentlemen, this is the Annual Predictions Show.
I'm Art Bell.
Tell you all about it in just a moment.
Let me cover just a couple of things for you before we get started.
Really started here.
We're going to do predictions for 2007 both tonight and tomorrow night.
The only predictions that will be recorded are ones that are made right here on the air.
That's right, so all can hear them.
There's no hocus pocus.
There's no cheating.
There's no bending.
There were tapes made.
It's been recorded.
I've got scripts of last year's.
And by the way, you didn't do so well last year.
Previous years, you've done quite well.
Last year?
Well, you were affected by the tsunami that had occurred.
Everybody had tsunamis on their mind.
So, in a moment I'll sort of lay down the groundwork for how I would like you to do these predictions, but first a couple of things for those of you who have not heard.
I am back in the United States of America, actually back at home, and Erin is with me.
She's immigrated to the USA, the great USA.
And she is in the first couple of days of her adjustment.
She was greeted to about 60 mph winds and about 25 degrees.
And that's a bit much.
But she's a trooper.
I had purchased her a little jacket, a very warm jacket in Manila at a surplus store.
Needless to say, not a lot of people in Manila buy jackets.
And so she looks like a little Eskimo as she's walking around town.
Not easy to miss.
Just like a little Eskimo.
We saw a movie and a little Eskimo girl was describing these little things and these little animals and she went... That makes Aaron laugh every time I do it.
So she is here in the good old U.S.
of A and I'm here too.
Last night I was not here because I was so jet-lagged and I've got a cold, she's got a cold, we've both got colds.
So that about covers that.
The webcam... Oh, one more item on that score.
When I was in the Philippines, on the other side of the world, I would come on the air and ask about any Americans Now you know who happened to be in the Manila area, married to Filipinas.
So now, now, I'm going to do the opposite.
And I'm going to say, if anybody knows of any Filipinas here in Pahrump, Nevada, by all means, get hold of me at KNYE.
And let me know.
I'm sure there are some Filipinas here in Pahrump in this area.
So simply call KNYE Radio and I will hook you up with Erin and she'll make some friends.
Now here's a really remarkable coincidence.
My neighbor My neighbor, right across the street from me, has just married, or is about to marry, a Filipina girl, and he's going to immigrate her to the U.S.
So, whenever that happens, we'll have a neighbor who's a young Filipina gal, and that'll be great.
But until then, you know, if anybody knows of any Filipinas here in Pahrump, why, call KNYE, and leave a message, and be assured, I will get back to you.
The wonders of communication.
Let me tell you, when I got home, the first thing I did was I set up a wireless, you know, wireless internet setup for the internet that I have here.
And this afternoon, just incredibly, I mean, Erin was sitting at the dining room table with a portable computer and a headset mic, casually chatting with her brother on the island of Mindanao in Philippines.
Now, how incredible is that?
Somehow they've rerouted a little bit of the internet to the Philippines after the gigantic earthquake in Taiwan, and to sit there and watch her video conference and talk to her brother was one of the more amazing things that I've seen in my whole life.
I mean, it's just an amazing world we live in now, isn't it?
All right, down to business.
This program, tonight and tomorrow, We'll be a combination of reviewing predictions made in 2006.
I've already done a little bit of that and it doesn't look good.
And making predictions for 2007.
Now this is all phone call stuff.
The only predictions that I'm going to record are ones given here on the air.
I will assign a number to your prediction and if you hit it Baby, I'm telling you, we'll come back to you for more.
I am convinced that many in my audience are psychic.
I know a lot of you are psychic.
This is the time of year to do this.
The rules, there are a few.
Only one prediction per customer.
Only one.
So make it a good one.
Reach down into your psychic center And come up with a really, something good that's going to happen and it doesn't have to be good, it can be bad.
Most of them are.
In 2007, really think it out.
Don't just, just don't, you know, say let's get on the air and talk a little bit and say something on the air.
Really dig down deep into your psychic center and come up with something that's going to happen in 2007 because I want a really good year.
Number two.
No predictions of United States presidential assassinations.
Now, the reason for that is simple.
When somebody makes a prediction of an assassination of a US political official, what happens is, the Secret Service will knock on my door, some little old lady in Missouri, We'll call the U.S.
Secret Service and say, hey, I just heard somebody on the radio say they're going to kill the President.
Which, of course, is not what happened, but that's what she'll say.
So, in view, in the interest of not having the Secret Service at my door for about the fifth time, no predictions of U.S.
political leaders being assassinated.
That's a rule.
Now, finally, No hopes, dreams, wishes, only predictions.
I want a good year!
I want a really good year of predictions!
So, with that in mind, I will simply quickly look at the news.
Saddam, of course, has been hanged near Tikrit, as a matter of fact, a small town near Tikrit.
He didn't show any emotion and that was that.
He's gone.
The nation honored Gerald Ford in funeral ceremony Saturday that recalled the touchstones of his life, which of course include the pardon of Richard Nixon, the reason he probably was not re-elected or elected, I guess I ought to say.
80 Iraqis killed, very deadly month for the U.S.
Hundreds of drivers having to be rescued from a winter storm.
It's a bad one, stretching all the way from Canada to Mexico.
A message from Cuba saying that Castro, ruining, by the way, a prediction made last year, may actually get better from his malady.
The Godfather of Soul, of course, will not get better and is being mourned.
And Governor Schwarzenegger released after surgery.
And that's about it.
That's all the news there is.
Down to business.
First, I'm going to show you how poorly we did last year.
However, it's a high point to begin with.
Bud from Michigan.
Made prediction number one in 2006, for 2006.
He said it's going to be, and by the way, my thanks to Andy.
Andy actually went back at the network, he wanted to work in radio and they gave him a job and sat him down with all of the predictions for 2006 and he sat down and recorded each and every one of them.
So Andy, thank you so very much.
Prediction 1.
Bud from Michigan predicted an extremely rough year for U.S.
automakers.
More layoffs, more plant closings.
And that's a ding.
Ding, ding, ding, Bud, you're right.
Number two, Rick from California.
Identity of the Antichrist will be revealed.
It's bono of you two.
Bonk.
Three.
David from Arizona.
A big hurricane in August.
I believe that would be a bonk.
Had he said typhoons, it'd be a big ding.
A caller from Minnesota.
Southern portion of California to break off.
We get that every year, and every year California seems to remain intact.
Number 5, Jody from Kansas, a huge explosion at Cheyenne Mountain, Colorado.
Bonk.
I think.
Now listen, if I'm wrong on the way I call any of these, feel free to send me a fast blast and I will correct it, alright?
You have to work with me here.
Bill from Oklahoma had number 7.
Oh no, number six was Jeff from Ohio.
A lost city in Central America will be uncovered after a hurricane.
Now, I'm tentatively bonking that, but there's something that says it might be a ding.
Number seven, Bill from Oklahoma.
North Korea's regime collapses.
Oh, we wish.
North Korea will then be absorbed by China.
Bonk.
Number 8, John from Washington.
Mount Rainier explodes.
Bonk!
Number 9, a caller from Quebec.
Eight unmistakable big natural disasters, and I'm giving that a ding.
We have had many.
Number 10, unspecified impact in northern Mexico.
Now I'm not sure about that.
I'm going to give it a bonk until I learn otherwise.
Number 11, Gregory from Arkansas.
The Son of God revealed.
We get that every year.
Bonk.
And number 12, Preston from South Carolina said, a Category 3 hurricane will hit the Carolinas in September and or October.
And I think that's a bonk.
Finally, 13.
Harry from Colorado.
A gigantic magnetic disturbance to affect parts of the Midwest.
Skies turn brown.
Northern lights appear.
Well, we certainly did have that.
Ding, ding, ding!
Number 13.
But that's, uh, it's to be followed by quite a few dings.
Now, I haven't reviewed them all, but I want a better year.
And if we get somebody who really nails something hard, we're going to bring them on the program and let them, well, you know, massage their predictions a little bit for us.
Look, this program, Coast to Coast AM, attracts people who are psychic.
It attracts people who have a kind of inner knowing.
And so I'm asking you to really work with that and give us a good prediction for the year 2007.
2007. All of that coming up next. This is actually a way that many of you who are
truly blessed with second sight can prove yourself publicly.
It is an annual event.
I think I've been doing this now for about 13 years.
12, 13 years, something like that.
Every single year.
And so, ladies and gentlemen, looking ahead toward 2007, it begins right now.
On the first-time caller line, Steve in Vancouver, B.C., you're on the air.
Hi, Art.
It's an honor to speak to you.
Long-time listener, first-time caller.
And also, you're going to be prediction number one, too.
Prediction number one?
Well, I had a prediction a few years ago, Art, and I never told anybody about it, and it was that NASA was going to lose a shuttle on reentry.
Well, see, never telling anybody about it, buddy, is no good.
You can't do that.
You've got to tell people for it to mean something.
That's why I'm calling.
My prediction for this year, Art, is that NASA's going to lose somebody in outer space this year.
Really?
Is it going to be, you say somebody now, is it going to be a shuttle do you know?
Or is it just going to be like an individual say on a spacewalk?
My prediction is it's just going to be an individual on a spacewalk working on something.
I don't know if it's going to be NASA in particular or one of the organizations that's involved with NASA.
But my prediction is that there's going to be somebody that is going to have some sort of accident.
They'll either let go, drift away from the space station, or rather that they recover, I don't know.
But that's my prediction.
All right.
It is now officially recorded as prediction number one.
NASA loses somebody.
All right.
Thank you very much for the call, and take care.
That's an interesting way to begin.
And I guess that certainly is possible.
I know the astronauts wear kind of little backpacks, and if they were to drift away from the shuttle, unless it was too far and too fast, they could get back.
But there would be a million ways to die in space where, as they say, nobody can hear you scream.
Wildcard Line, Billy in California, you are on the air.
Hello, Art.
You know, I got tears coming in my eyes when you told the story about the little cat.
I had known that an earthquake was going to hit the Philippines and was going to black everything out before it happened.
Why didn't you call?
I did!
I called, I couldn't get through!
I begged him!
But I'm so glad I could get through to you now because there's going to be some more earthquakes between March and June that are going to tear the Philippines really bad.
Oh, this is just what I need to hear.
Well, I'm just telling you, I've been trying to get through to you because when you told about the little cat, I cried and I said, oh, dear God, we got to get him out of there.
And it was like something said, call and tell him.
I said, I can't just call and predict a big earthquake.
He ain't going to listen to me.
I said, and then I said... Well, I appreciate your concern for my little Philippine cat, but what about... Oh, I cried.
I love cats.
Yeah, but how about myself and my wife and then all those Filipinos who live there?
You must get your kittens out of there and anybody else that is close to you, because it may be that it won't kill them.
I didn't think it would kill you.
But you would be cut off from everything.
And here you're having this new little baby.
I tell you, I paced the floor that night and told him about the kiddies, Dr. Wright, and I said, how am I going to get through to him?
He's got to get out of the Philippines.
Well, I'll tell you what, the big earthquake, the big earthquake, the big earthquake, condominium, the big earthquake, in Taiwan literally destroyed the communications to the Philippines and I'll tell you something my ISDN line would still be down right now so had I not left we'd have been out of biz.
You still there?
March and June, there's going to be such a little bit left of the Philippines, I mean,
that won't be tore up.
And you said you'd get that house and I was saying, oh, I hope it's somewhere where it's
be safe.
And then when you got the cat, I was crying and I said, he's got to get out of there.
Okay, I got it.
All right.
I appreciate it.
Well, it's a cat you apparently had concern for.
That's Dolly.
And my other two cats, Abidos and Yeti, are going to tentatively be headed for the U.S.
here on January 8th.
And they are with Shirley.
Shirley Powell, I believe she is known as on the Fantastic Four.
Thank you, Shirley, for, you know, let them hear my voice if you have the opportunity to do that.
I talked to them seriously.
I know it sounds silly to a lot of you, but before we left, I sat down on a number of occasions with each one of them and explained they are not being abandoned.
They'll be with a wonderful lady who loves cats, and they're going to be coming back to the U.S.
in the case of the two that originally left here.
And Dolly, little Dolly, my goodness, she's going to get to make a trip to the other side of the world.
She even kind of looks Filipino.
If you look at Dolly, And I had her, her photograph is not up now, but she actually looks sort of Philippine, to be honest with you.
She's really cute.
Really, really, really cute.
All right, let's go to West of the Rockies and say, is it Abby?
It's Abby.
Abby.
Welcome, Abby.
You get to make prediction number three for 2007.
Oh, okay.
First, I'd like to welcome you back home, and for Aaron, Welcome to United States and your new home.
Thank you.
And I'm sure that you will be greatly blessed this year with a beautiful child and that your family will all come together.
Basically, my prediction is that Saddam Hussein's execution was faked.
He is not dead.
But he will be taken to his village and they will pursue him in that manner.
He is not dead.
Okay, you know, I'll put that down, and I've heard some rumors and people, you know, on the Internet talking about that already, thinking that the whole thing was faked and he was spirited off somewhere.
Oh really?
Oh yes, oh yeah, that kind of thing immediately runs around the Internet, of course.
But what would be the point?
Well, you have to understand that there's that prophecy of the Mahadi rising.
And just the fact that Saddam had always professed himself to be that individual and tried to build up himself as something other than he was, I believe that the whole thing in its clandestine nature, with no international entities, bodies there to witness it, I believe that they faked it.
All right.
All right.
You have made official prediction number three.
The thing about making predictions on the air is there is no hocus pocus involved.
Everybody gets to hear it.
Everybody gets to record it.
And baby, if you hit it, you really hit it.
I'm Art Bell.
Here I am.
Here I am indeed.
By the way, we're still doing the show virtually the same way we did in Manila.
And there are call screeners.
And the reason for that, when I was in Manila, Was because, well of course, I couldn't get telephone lines to answer myself in Manila, and even if I could, you all would have been making very, very expensive long-distance calls, so obviously that was a no-no.
We're doing it now here because we did not have time to get phone lines, enough phone lines, you know, hooked up in the old way we did it, so that will probably eventually occur here, just to let you know.
It is Predictions for 2007, and again I'm asking, please, reach into thy psychic center.
Think about it hard before you call, and come up with something that you think really is going to occur in 2007.
Now, we always get the Antichrist will be back.
We always get, well, we get a lot of things that are sort of just normal, that are sort I don't know, I think in many cases they're more wishes than they are actually thought out predictions, or predictions that come from your psychic center.
So back to the prediction lines in a moment.
Back to business.
East of the Rockies, you are on the air to make an official prediction for 2007.
It's a pleasure, Art, to speak with you again.
This is Mark from Kansas City.
If I could draw your memory, the last time we spoke was just after September 11th, and I made a reference to a possible prophecy reference to the event itself in Isaiah.
If you can remember that, when the towers fell.
And that was the last time we spoke.
Vaguely.
Just vaguely, I've got to be honest with you.
Yeah, it's okay.
But anyway, my prediction for 2007 as I've known it, and I just knew it When the war started, being knowledgeable of the violence between the Sunnis and the Kurds and the Shia, that it would be split up into three sections.
And that's my prediction.
This year, they're going to get peace there, they're going to work it out, and they're going to end up splitting it up into three sections and giving each group their own peace.
Okay, so Iraq splits into three?
Yeah.
You know, it's entirely possible.
I've heard it's already been spoken of recently.
Somebody's already started talking about it, actually.
It's been brought up now.
But I've felt this way since the war started.
Well, that may be the only ultimate resolution for them.
So that's within the realm of possibility, I would say.
It's intuitive more than psychic.
I consider myself more intuitive than psychic.
I think it's more of a A strong intuition, sir, is synonymous with psychic, in my opinion.
It's a pleasure speaking with you tonight.
Okay.
Your prediction, so that you might remember, is number four.
Alright.
And I will be listening next year.
I'll be looking forward to it.
Okay, take care.
Prediction number four, that Iraq splits in two, three, and that may be the only way they're going to cure this sectarian violence that keeps going on.
All right, going to John in Long Island, New York, on a wildcard line.
You're on the air.
Hello, what?
How are you?
I'm fine.
I'm glad to hear you and your wife are back in the United States and safe and sound.
My prediction is, I believe that UFO sightings won't only just double, but actually triple.
And besides that, I believe there's probably going to be undisputable evidence in 2007 that UFOs actually really do exist.
That's quite a prediction.
Why do you think that's going to happen?
What do you think is going to propel such a change?
Probably because the technology's getting better and better every year.
It's just a lot more people looking up in the sky.
You know, they're more sensitive to certain things, and I really believe that's going to happen.
I really, really do.
Well, okay.
There are more people, I suppose, looking into the sky for one reason or another.
At least I hope there are.
Thank you very much, and good luck with your prediction.
I'll say this.
The skies in Manila, in the Philippines, were pretty cloudy.
With that much humidity and generally a lot of clouds around, you really didn't see stars.
You'd have to get way out of the city to do that.
And with respect to being here permanently, I think that, you know, I own a condominium in Manila and that's where Aaron's family is and the odds are pretty good that, for example, after the baby is born, that we will make a trip back to the Philippines for some period of time and share the joy with Aaron's family.
I mean, how could we not?
You sure got it.
even though we have this magic of being able to have instant, wonderful communications
with the Philippines, it's just amazing to me.
It just blows me away.
Let's go to the wildcard line.
David, it's your turn from Burbank, I guess.
You sure got it.
Yeah, oh, it sounds like you're going to have an American child and be born in America,
huh?
Well, there are certain advantages to that.
Now, my child, whether it would be born here or in the Philippines, would be American by virtue of the fact that I'm the father.
However, however, if it's born in the Philippines, you've then got to go to the embassy.
After you get a birth certificate, then you've got to apply for a passport.
It's a long, complicated, Difficult thing to do, whereas if the baby is born here in the U.S., you get a birth certificate right away, you carry it, you send a copy of it in, and ten days later you've got a passport.
That's great.
Plus your wife is a citizen too, immediately, pretty much like millions of Mexicans.
No, no, no, no, no, no.
Where'd you get that idea?
I don't know.
I just heard on the radio, I mean on TV, when millions of Mexicans come over here and they have kids in this country, they automatically become citizens.
Oh, that is true.
That certainly is true.
But they immigrate not legally.
Now that's something else altogether.
My wife is a legal immigrant.
There's a big difference.
Now to become a citizen, that's about a five-year project.
Yeah, that's unfortunate.
Actually, the way it's going right now, we're really making a big mistake because We have a country by the millions coming into our country, and they don't even know what this country is about.
This is a joke with me and my friend.
We went out with a picture, a color photograph, of President George W. Bush, and we found some Mexicans that actually spoke English, and we showed a picture, and out of 50, we couldn't find one Mexican who knew who that person was.
It was a picture of the President of the United States.
And we said, next time we're going to videotape it, and we're going to send it into a TV show.
It's hilarious.
You could not find one person who recognized George Bush?
They couldn't find one out.
We counted, I think, 50, 52 Mexicans in California.
We couldn't find one that knew, but their children knew who it was.
We found it because they go to the school.
And their parents didn't even know who George W. Bush was by showing the photograph.
Oh, my goodness.
All right, my friend.
Thank you very much.
Officially recorded as prediction number five.
My prediction here, I think right now what's going to happen, since it's a pretty much no-brainer, I think that what's going to happen is through 2007, maybe sooner than later, that somebody in the Democratic Party and the Senator will lose their seat and they'll be taken over by Republican power.
So the Senate will probably be taken back by the Republicans, and mysteriously when that happens the price of oil will shoot up real quick.
Now wait a minute, didn't you predict sightings tripling?
No, no, no.
You had another call.
That was a previous call.
Okay, I'm sorry.
So you're... Where am I?
You see, this is what jet lag does to you.
So give it to me again in short form.
It's number six, not number five.
Yeah, I predict Bill will get his memory back.
Thank you.
I'm sorry.
No, give me your prediction in short form.
In short form, Republicans will gain Senate power and immediately thereafter the price of oil will escalate upward.
Really?
Yes.
Okay, gain Senate control, and the price of oil goes up again, huh?
Yes, and people go, gee, that's a coincidence, huh?
I kind of disagree with you.
I don't think that whoever is in office or control of the Senate or the House or whatever has very much to do with the price of oil, but there is a big but there.
I have to admit, and anybody listening I think has to agree, every time we have, we get close to a presidential election or any major election, even off year, the price of oil mysteriously drops.
You got that.
And you know what?
I've heard this through the rumor mills that if this January, if the Democrats do have power within the Senate, there is going to be massive investigations on the artificial oil shortage.
All right, all right.
Thank you very, very much.
I mean, how does that work?
Look back over the years at the elections.
Presidential, off year, doesn't matter.
As you come up to an election, whoever is in power seems to have a way to get the price of oil to drop.
Either that, or it's the most massive coincidence that we've ever recorded.
I don't know.
How could I know that was not number six and I thought I was still talking?
You know, I really am jet-lagged.
That's why I was here, not here, last night.
Believe me, if you ever do it, fly from one side of the earth to the other.
You're going to know it, and inevitably you can't fly with three or four hundred other people who are hacking and sneezing and coughing and have every variety of virus known to man without coming up with some of them, so that of course occurred.
Okay, let's go to the international line.
That would be, I guess, Clarice, I believe, in Toronto.
That is correct, Art, and it's just my pleasure to be speaking to you, Art.
I've listened to you for quite a while, but I never thought I'd get to speak to you.
You have a beautiful speaking voice.
Thank you.
Now, Art, before I make my prediction, first of all, I want to say all those disbelievers, you know that Saddam Hussein is not dead.
They better wake up again because he certainly is dead.
And then I also want to wish you, Art, and your lovely wife, Erin, The very best with your coming child as well.
Very, very best for the new year.
Thank you.
Now, my prediction?
Yes.
My prediction is, I think, that within the next three to six months, Israel will attack Iran to try to take out some of their work on the bomb that they're building, or trying to build.
That's a distinct possibility.
Yeah, that's why I say that.
I feel it.
Israel, I guarantee, Israel is not going to allow Iran to get a nuclear device or 10.
They're not.
They're going to take it out.
You're right.
Yeah, because they can't afford to wait for them to get that bomb and try to wipe them out.
And ma'am, could you blame them?
Not at all!
I think that's the smartest thing they can do.
And you know what?
I'm sure that they've gotten the approval from the United States, too.
I'm positive.
And I love the United States.
I love the government.
I love President Bush.
Let me tell you something.
What?
There's no country in the whole world that's any better than the USA.
You're right, Art.
I'm a Canadian, but I tune in to all the American channels, to the radio stations.
Of course, I listen to your program.
And I love the United States.
I love your system.
You know, government.
It's better than ours.
God bless you, and have a good night.
Take care.
Listen, there are wonderful places on the earth, and I've said it a million times, the Philippine people are the friendliest people in the world.
They just are the most wonderful, friendly people you're ever going to meet in your whole life.
The United States of America, without any shadow of any doubt, has the best government for all the erosion of the Bill of Rights and the Constitution that's gone on.
Do a little traveling if you doubt me.
There is no country on the face of the earth where you have more rights, where you have more freedoms, where you have More than you have in this country.
There's simply nothing to compare with it on the face of the globe.
And so we are living in the, I hope not, last greatest days of the U.S.
We've got to change our ways a little bit, but this is one wonderful country and I've never deviated from that thought ever.
On the first time caller line, Pete in Omaha.
You're on the air.
How's it going, Art?
This is Pete.
My prediction for 2007 at the end of the year I'm foreseeing a treaty between the United States and China.
Massive military treaty.
Really?
Yeah.
How do you think that would affect, for example, Taiwan?
I have no idea.
Well, listen, China wants Taiwan.
And, you know, we've got kind of a deal where we would send in carriers and protect Taiwan.
Do you think that such a treaty would include the The United States agreeing to stay out of any effort by China to take Taiwan back.
Well, I'm leaning more towards airspace for planes flying over America and China, trying to close the gap between America and China.
Okay, a big treaty with China.
Yeah, I'm thinking it's going to be an act of good faith, but that's my prediction.
Late, like November or December of next year.
Done deal.
All right, thanks a lot.
Take care.
That was prediction number eight, a major treaty with China.
We'll do as many as we possibly can.
First wildcard line, Robin in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, looking into the next year.
What I believe will happen is we're going to have a major communication letdown.
I don't know if it's, I mean, it should be the cell phones for sure, and very possibly The landline phones also.
Really?
Yes.
Any idea what will precipitate it?
I believe that the sun spots on.
The sun will definitely have something to do with the cell phones.
I don't know if it's alien interaction or what, but I know that I see the major communication let down and then it'll be good for C-SPAN and Uh, she cramed because they're going to want to get their walkie talkies out and people will definitely want that.
They'll be in high demand because there is definitely going to be a shutdown of communication.
Well, I hope that doesn't come true.
All right, your prediction is now recorded officially as number nine.
Thank you very much.
All right, thank you very much, and I certainly hope that one does not come true.
By the way, I think I mentioned to you on the air from the Philippines that Aaron and I got these new Sony Phones, which are really cool.
If you have G3, you can actually see, you know, they're picture phones.
You can see, but there is no G3 here.
It's coming.
We'll have G3 in the next year or so.
They're beginning to build it out right now.
So it's coming.
Karen, in Arizona, you're on the air.
Hi.
Hi, Art.
How are you?
I'm very well, indeed, except for this cold.
Oh, well, I have a little bit of one myself.
But my prediction for 2007, and it will probably come later in 2007, and this may cause a few jaws to drop, but Israel will offer and the Iraqi government will accept military assistance to put down the insurgents and the militants.
Really?
Yes.
And peace will end up sort of breaking out.
It's going to be ugly for a while, but Things will then start settling down.
Do you think that the United States will withdraw troops, or do you think, I mean, they're considering what to do right now, and we can even put, we could, for example, put more troops into Iraq, that's one option, and the other would be a sort of a phased withdrawal.
I think it's probably going to be a phased withdrawal, but not for a while yet.
Not for a while yet.
All right.
Thank you very, very much and take care.
I don't know.
I wish I knew what the ultimate answer would be in Iraq.
I think that they are going to put more troops in.
They're going to try to stabilize before giving up and beginning to pull troops out.
They're going to put more in and who knows?
We could perhaps do it.
We could, if we had enough troops in there, begin to stabilize the situation.
Or perhaps, as the earlier caller said, Iraq might split into three, and that might end the sectarian violence.
That's a very interesting idea.
You guys are all right.
We're doing predictions for 2007, and it's coming very rapidly.
From the high desert Feels so good to say that.
The High Desert and the Great American Southwest, I'm Art Bell.
Indeed so, ladies and gentlemen, this and tomorrow night are the official opportunities for you to make a prediction.
The annual prediction programs on Coast to Coast AM.
And look, so many of you are into this sort of thing, so I know you're a psychic.
I know there are a lot of psychics out there and I'm asking you to reach in.
Come up with something you really think, really think, not hope, but think will occur in 2007.
And there really is a difference.
A lot of people will come up with religious hopes or that sort of thing.
Please don't do that.
Things that you actually think are going to happen in 2007.
One per customer only recorded here on the air.
No email predictions.
None of that.
No predictions of U.S.
political assassinations, because that gets me in trouble, and I don't want the Secret Service here.
So, with that in mind, feel free to pick up a phone and see if you can make history.
We number each one as we go along.
Let's review a few others before the break, made last year.
Alright, number 14.
A caller from California predicted extremely controversial Mel Gibson movie to be released.
Um, ding, ding ding ding, ding ding ding.
That's a good one.
Um, number 15, Steve from Washington, Richard Daley will announce his candidacy for the presidency.
I don't think he did that, Bonk.
16.
Andy from Alabama.
An 8.0 earthquake in California will occur in late spring, early summer.
Bonk.
Bob from Michigan.
Magnetic flux on 6606 will cause several alien craft to crash in populated areas.
Bonk.
Number 18.
Much joy will come to Art Bell in the coming year.
Ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding.
Much tragedy and much joy.
It has been such an incredible year for me.
I've gone through so much this year.
What a life, huh?
So, tragedy and then followed by joy.
So I'm definitely dinging that.
Alright, 19.
John from New York.
World War III starts in July.
Condi Rice pushes a button.
Bonk, thank God.
Number 20.
2006 will be the year of the earthquake.
String of earthquakes from Boston to Maine.
Now, from Boston to Maine, I'm going to have to bonk that.
I think.
I did hear of some earthquake that occurred in the Northeast, but I don't think we could say there was a string of them there.
So close.
21.
Some big object, a man-made satellite or a shattered part of an E.T.
craft, will crash.
In the case of an E.T.
craft, the government will not be able to cover it up.
Bonk.
22.
Katie from Nevada.
An earthquake at Lake Tahoe causes a mini-tsunami, about a thousand houses to be destroyed.
Bonk.
23.
TJ in Kansas.
Fidel Castro will pass away.
Cuba will become a new Las Vegas.
Bonk.
But close.
24.
Dan in Indiana.
Bigfoot proven real.
It's body to be recovered.
Bonk.
25.
James from Nevada.
A tsunami will hit the West Coast between Northern California and Washington.
Now, you know what?
I bonked that, but that's a ding.
We did get a tsunami, didn't we?
Okay, we'll make that a ding.
Now, if I get these wrong, feel free to try and fast blast me and correct me, because I'm not the world's expert on what occurred during the year.
For, you know, a good part of it, I was on the other side of the world.
And even if I'd been here, I can still get them wrong.
So, work with me on that.
First time caller line, no, sorry, wildcard line, Peter in Albany.
You're on the air.
Hi, Art.
Welcome back to the States.
My prediction real quick is that by the end of the year the government will either announce or leak out that they have had Osama Bin Laden in custody for a while.
Well, okay, so we'll say government gets Osama or announces it.
So, listen, if they got Osama Bin Laden, wouldn't they be shouting that from the rooftops?
I mean, don't you remember when we got the guy in the bunker there, down the hole in the ground?
You know, we announced that immediately.
We had a press conference and they smiled and they said, actually, the words were, we got him!
Yes, and they kept the war going with all the conspiracy theories so Bush could get re-elected.
So to hold back Osama's capture, then there would be no real reason to have Bush re-elected because there'd be no real reason for the war.
Hence, that's what we were supposed to go to the war for.
Well, let's say we had Osama right now.
Why would they be keeping that secret now?
With Bush coming out of office, the timeline that they want to start setting up to remove the troops, we need an ending.
We need closure.
Closure, we got Osama.
Time to pull the troops.
Bush is leaving office.
All right, prediction number 11 is now officially recorded.
The government gets or announces that they have got Osama.
My feeling would be that if we got Osama, believe me, they'd be screaming it from the rooftops.
There you are.
All right, let's go to, I'll try and go down the line so I don't leave anybody out here.
Another wild card line, this would be Linda in our, to the north, Canada.
Am I 12, sir?
You will be number 12, yes.
I said I would be 13.
Well, I missed off by one.
You know, I want to say I really appreciate you when you spoke to your cats about you leaving.
Oh, look, a lot of people will send me emails on and they'll say, that's so stupid, but it's not.
And I can assure you they understood me.
Yes, they did.
Oh, yes, they did.
You get it, like many of us do.
It's very nice of you to say that, and I'm glad that you're back with Erin and your future baby.
I would also like to say from what I experienced at Christmas time, Christmas Eve, and from baking a cookie, not baking, from doing a rosette cookie, I had a star come right out in the middle of this cookie.
A star?
A star.
And what I saw at Christmas Eve, I saw a star go right from, well, the left side of me.
The sky was eclectic.
It was just beautiful.
It was like a midnight blue.
And I thought, oh, I'm so lucky to see this beauty and this color is so unusual.
And right out of the left-hand side of my eye, right across through the clouds, this huge star shot right across.
Does this have anything to do with your prediction?
Yes, I believe that in next year, either late spring or in summer, that there's going to be such a happening in the skies that's going to baffle the astronomers and the scientists.
And I think they're going to see either a star or something that's going to give a lot of people a lot of hope.
Okay, we'll call it a big deal in our skies.
That's what I, yeah, I do.
It's, you know, it's the third And me, I said, I think I'm going to be 13, and here I was 12.
I was close.
Close?
Yes.
Okay.
Happy New Year.
Thank you.
Thank you so very much, and take care.
You know, without going into the details of it, I got an email today from Ramona's OBGYN doctor.
He had been her doctor for many, many years.
And just a wonderful, wonderful email.
And he offered to care for Erin and deliver her baby.
And what an incredible, wonderful email.
I wish I could read it to you but, you know, it's a private thing and so I'm not going to do that.
I'm just going to tell you that I got a communication from Ramon is OBGYN doctor in Las Vegas and he's just one of the best and he's just a wonderful guy.
So he offered to do the prenatal care for Aaron and deliver the baby and so it shall be.
All right, onward to number 13.
I think we're going to go to Tim in Houston, Texas.
Welcome.
Way!
That was good news about the doctor.
That was pretty nice that you were sharing that with us.
And I wanted to say, Art, that I know what you were saying about, you know, having feelings and unctions and hope.
No, you don't want that.
You want people with real psychic abilities.
People who, when they see things, are really there.
Well that's not, yeah, it's not to say that people can't just have a feeling about something, that can be a psychic revelation.
But that's leading up to, you know, you can say the war, because the war's going on, there's something I'm leading up to, Art.
Sure.
Because I'm a real psychic, and so when you go, when you lead up, you look at probabilities, and you say, it leads up to me, no, we don't want, we don't want that.
We want true visions, ones that, I've done over, I've done hundreds of them.
I mean, I met a guy, shook his hand, and I said, you have a 21-year-old son.
And he said, yes.
I said, he's going to die today.
I don't just see good ones, I see bad ones.
God.
I saw 9-11 before it happened.
I got asked to be a state trooper here in Houston, and offline, I mean, off the phone.
All right, well, look, if you're that good, then lay it on us.
What's going to happen?
Okay, these things, they come to you at random.
You can kind of pick things and then lead up to it, and then you start getting visions up.
That's how they start happening.
Then you have to pick, and these visions, dream states, because there's dream things that have nothing to do with the actual reality and the shift in consciousness.
But anyway... Alright, so in other words, we've got an almost guaranteed ding coming up here.
Okay, I've got an orca, some trainer, Now, I've only been successful, you know, 10% of the time of the time and place.
I always see the event, but at the time and place.
I knew at the end of summer, 2001, it was going to happen.
And my phone was ringing off the wall, and the captain of the Texas Rangers came and asked me.
But anyway, my point is, there's going to be an orca, a killer whale, that's going to be killed.
A train is going to try to get him to do a stunt.
And he's already sick, by the way.
The orca's already sick.
And he announces to the audience, uh, he's going to do a stunt that's never been done before.
He's going to dive out of the water at a great height.
He's going to do a back, kind of go back.
He's going to, it's kind of like you dive up and you dive back down into the water, but he never made it.
He broke his back and he was paralyzed.
Killer whale, orca, killed by, uh, a trainer.
By trainer.
Okay.
Yeah.
And I don't know how to stress this.
You hear this and then it doesn't happen at the end of the year and then a year later somebody's wrong.
No.
This is going to happen this year.
Every time I see these, it happens.
All right.
Yours, sir, is prediction number 13, and I guess I wish you luck, but that means bad luck for the Orca.
Now again, what I'd really like to stress is please do make these predictions.
You're doing very well so far.
Not wishes and hopes.
A lot of people will call in just to get on the radio and sort of say something that ends up really being a political statement like, I hope somebody will be impeached or that sort of thing.
It's not really a prediction.
It's more of a hope or a dream or something like that.
And I want to stay away from that because I want a good record.
I want the best year we've ever had.
And we may be on our way to that.
We'll see.
Let's see.
Let's go internationally to Canada.
Alpha 119.
What kind of name is that?
Actually, it's my handle for Fantastic Forum.
The Fantastic Forum.
All right, buddy.
Everyone's going to say, hey, say hi to Art.
So, you know, OK.
All right.
It's great to have you back in the desert.
Thank you.
Surprised to hear that.
Definitely a surprise.
But my prediction, and I don't predict this one lightly, I predict that your website, our bell.com domain, will become active in the next year.
The reason I predict this is because I predicted that one night, several years ago, that you would write another book Along the lines of the quick name.
And I got it right.
Hmm.
Interesting prediction.
All right, my friend.
Thank you very, very much.
That one could come true.
Now, I've of course hung on to, despite some financial offers, theartbell.com.
And the reason for that, of course, is because it's my name.
And I've become a little suspicious of people offering me money for that domain.
It's like, what are you going to do with it?
It's my name now.
Obviously some people want domains that get a lot of traffic just because they get a lot of traffic.
But I've learned very carefully that you have to be very cautious what you allow to be done with your name, because people will do bad things.
And I'm not saying that's what would have occurred, but experience has taught me to become very careful.
Now that one could come true.
I've sort of had...
You know, some thoughts about reactivating that domain.
I'm very careful to keep it registered to my name.
So we shall see.
We shall see.
Interesting prediction, because I've actually been giving it some thought.
East of the Rockies, it's Donnie in Missouri.
Yes, hi Art.
Hi.
Do I have a few seconds for a comment about Pahrump?
Sure.
Before my prediction?
Sure.
Me and my mother flew out to Vegas in March for the first time, and we really had an itch to go see Pahrump because you've always talked about it.
Well, we were more impressed with Pahrump than we were Vegas.
You live in a beautiful city.
Have you ever heard of the Casino Saddles West?
Saddle West, yes, of course.
Boy, they have amazing steaks.
Oh, they do.
Listen, the food in this town is just unbelievably good.
I've got to get to a break very quickly.
I'm being bad about that, so lay it on me.
Number 15.
All right, my prediction is Syria, Iran, and Russia will attack Israel in the summer.
Oh, God.
Yeah.
And Russia?
And Russia.
Yep.
I just feel it in my gut.
Okay.
All right, thank you.
Right, thank you very, very much, and you have a very good night.
All right, that's it.
This is a break.
We'll be right back.
Well, you see what I did?
I delayed that break so long that there's literally not, it wouldn't be fair to take another call right now.
Well, maybe it would.
Maybe we can get it in.
Carol in Claremont, California, welcome.
Yes, I knew I was going to get that short call, little minute thing there.
First of all, We are so glad to have you back.
I know I speak for thousands, at least.
Thank you.
And I just feel like this tremendous weight off my shoulders that you're here.
Now, that's inexplicable.
You know, I can't put my finger on it, but I've had... Carol, I've had so many people say that to me, that it was wrong for you to be over there, and now it's right that you're back, and the world is back in the right place.
So many emails like that.
Why?
Really?
Yeah, why?
You're part of us, you're part of our culture, you're an icon, you're a legend in your own time, etc.
Oh, please.
Oh, you know, and listen, I say that not lightly.
I'm a former performing arts professional and my father was in television and radio and my mother in blah blah blah.
So I come from a long line of appreciators.
Well, thank you.
That gives me the GBs, this legend thing.
Oh, well no, hey hey hey, because you're a living legend.
Yeah, yeah.
Just keep the living part in.
You bet your booties.
Alright, alright.
And speaking of living, I want to say that as you were talking about Ramona's OBGYN, I got a sincere, distinct, boom feeling from nowhere that Ramona was behind that.
Listen, anything in this world is possible.
anything's possible. All right, your prediction now. My prediction and another thing this just
came to me from the blue because I'm not necessarily a moon nut or a space you know
I'm not an aficionado particularly but I think there's going to be some evidence that's going to
be leaked and they're going to try to squelch it but too many people will say what
I think there is a base on the moon. Now when I talked to your call screener I said the dark side
of the moon, not the pink floyd but I think maybe what I really meant was the far side of the moon.
Now I don't know, this is a base, I don't know if it's international or if it's ours or if it's on ancient ground.
That's alright, doesn't matter.
We're going to go with base on moon revealed.
Alright.
Alright, thank you.
Happy New Year, dear.
Happy New Year to you as well.
Take care.
Base on moon revealed.
You know, that's not so far-fetched.
From the high desert in the great American Southwest, I'm Art Bell.
I'm telling you folks, I have been inundated.
It's not just that one caller.
Tom in New York City said, I agree with all the callers.
You were always meant to come back to the US.
I can't explain it.
But when you said you were home, I knew it was right.
This goes beyond the desire to have you here.
You belong here.
Welcome home and God bless.
Holly in Graham, Washington.
I agree.
Now that you're back, everything seems to be in order.
All is right in the world again.
And on and on and on.
Jenna in Toronto, greetings aren't, like your caller said, I'm really glad you've returned to the USA.
I don't know why.
Actually, that was going to be my prediction that you'll return to Nevada in the first quarter of 2017.
And on and on and on.
Just zillions of them.
So, I'm not sure exactly what that's all about.
It's definitely happening.
All right.
We're going to take a break.
Come back.
More predictions for 2007 coming right up.
You know, it's interesting.
I'm going to have to call Bob Crane and get a CC radio on the way here.
Now, I left my CC radios in the condo in Manila.
I could only ship so much this time and they're serious radios and they've got a little heft to them.
So, I just realized Erin's cooking and she's in the kitchen.
She said, Hun, do you have a radio?
God, I don't.
So I'll be calling Bob Crane and getting a CC Radio on the way.
There's nothing that compares to a CC Radio.
Nothing at all.
All right.
Let's see.
Let's go to Buddy, who's been hanging there a long time, I think, in Erie, Pennsylvania.
You are on the air.
Hi, Art.
I'm a long-time listener and first-time caller and a ham.
All right.
Nice to chat with you here.
I think we're going to see an increase in animal attacks on humans this year coming up.
Wow, why?
I don't know.
I just do.
I mean, we've had a lot of them this year, right?
I mean, you know, not just the crocodile hunter guy, but then the other stingray and the, what was it, the alligator?
Okay, but to be fair, you know, to be fair to the crocodile guy, um, you know, he, he, he wasn't really attacked by that thing.
He sort of got in the way of it.
Yeah.
Well, I mean, okay.
Okay.
But I mean, like we've, we've seen a whole bunch of these kinds of things right over this past year.
I mean, this year and last year, and I mean, just, uh, it seems like we've seen more of these kinds of animal Uh, things that we haven't really seen before, and I think... Okay, but I'm not going to have to be... I'm not going to have to be ripping Abby Dose off my face, am I?
Oh, I sure hope not.
I sure hope not, because we've got two cats and two dogs ourselves.
Um, well, uh, good luck.
Yeah, thanks.
Well, and I guess if that other lady's right, I guess I better get my, uh, emergency ham radio station ready for the, uh, communications outage, eh?
You sure better.
And that could happen too.
You know, she could be right about that.
Alright, an increase of animal attacks on humans.
It is recorded as prediction number 17, my friend.
Thank you.
Alrighty, thanks.
Alright, take care.
I've got a feeling we're going to have a good year this year.
I kind of like the predictions so far.
In other years, we've had too many that were sort of political hopes and dreams instead of actual predictions, but this year you're doing very well so far.
Indeed doing very well.
Going to the first time caller line, Danny in Kirkland, Washington.
Hello Art, how are you?
Well first I would like to tell you that, or say thank you, a couple weeks ago we did have a communications and everything else blackout here in the greater Northwest and the only thing I had was you on the radio at night and I really appreciate that so it was a very nice and then always wonderful to have you on there.
Thank you.
Anyway my prediction is that probably in the latter half of this year that the Our economy, which is being propped up now by other countries and stuff, will start to feel the effects of the dollar actually falling and stuff like that.
We'll have probably a pretty hard recession there, unfortunately.
Economy falters, dollar weakens further, huh?
Yeah, well I think that the dollar is going to continue to weaken and weaken and weaken.
We're just not going to really feel the effects of it until the fall.
That's when other countries, Japan and China and stuff like that, will really start to
not invest in the dollar anymore and prop it up.
And that's when we're going to feel it.
Well, I'll tell you what, I sure did feel the weakening of the dollar when I was in
the Philippines.
When I first arrived there, I was getting about 53 pesos to the dollar.
When I left the Philippines, it was about 48 or 49 to the dollar.
Wow.
And when you're converting a pretty large amount of money, that hits you pretty hard.
I imagine.
I've traveled overseas some, but not a whole lot.
The only place I've been is to England and stuff like that.
Yes, that's really quite a deal.
Whether it was in part the strengthening of the peso, I think it was more the weakening of the dollar.
And when you're converting money, that's pretty serious.
However, what I did I guess I just, you know, there's just no way that I cannot tell you guys what I'm doing in my life.
I left all my peso accounts in the Philippines intact.
Now, the time deposits, and they've got good solid banks there, the time deposits in the Philippines are quite good.
You get, you know, they call them time deposits, they're just like CDs actually, and they just roll over and you get about 10% interest.
So, I converted some money when I first arrived in the Philippines, kept most of my money as American dollars, and then put some in Philippine pesos and put those in time deposits, and they're going to earn about 10%, which, you know, not bad.
All things equal, not bad at all.
Let's go to Sean on a wildcard line in New York.
Hey, Sean.
Hey, Art.
How are you?
My prediction for 2007 is in the month of August, in the Pacific Ocean, about 600 miles south of the Hawaiian Islands, undersea volcanic activity will give birth to a new island about the size of the state of Pennsylvania.
Oh my God!
That's big!
Yeah, that's it.
A new island the size of Pennsylvania?
Good Lord!
That would be some very, very valuable real estate.
I should think yes, yes.
However, I would also think that it would cause a gigantic disruption.
What's going to happen to Hawaii?
Wouldn't there be something of a, you know, a big... There might be some serious surfing going on, yes sir.
All right.
How did you, if I might ask, that's an interesting prediction, how did it come to you?
Well, actually, it was sort of, well, do you remember hearing the other day about the 47 square mile piece of ice breaking off the North, up in Canada there?
Yes.
It occurred to me that one thing might affect another, and that if there's big events such as that occurring in different areas around the world, it might affect volcanic activity, let's say, or some other kind of activity.
That was my theory, I guess.
All right, well we'll see what happens.
Thank you very much for the call.
My God, an island the size of Pennsylvania.
Can you imagine the value of that real estate out in the Pacific somewhere near Hawaii?
Yikes!
All right, up to Wasilla, Alaska on the west of the Rockies line.
Dave, you're on the air.
Hello Art.
I'd like to echo some of the previous sentiments I've heard about your emails and say welcome back.
What is it?
If I might ask, why, why, why do you feel that way?
You know, I think it's maybe some of it is I listened to you on KENI, your previous stomping grounds.
Oh, yes.
I know you're a Packer fan.
That was going to be one of my predictions, but I changed it.
You know what, it just, when I heard it, that announcer say, um, from the kingdom of nigh again, I hadn't heard any of the show before that.
But when I heard him say that, I realized you were back in the United States.
And you know what?
I am so happy for you that you have found happiness after such tragedy, but It just wasn't the same.
That's what everybody's saying.
It wasn't the same.
But you know what?
Doing the show over there, it really was the same.
Isn't it Rush who says it doesn't matter where I am as long as I'm here?
Isn't it Rush who says that?
Apparently it's not true.
Well, welcome back.
Thank you.
But I have a more morose prediction.
You were just saying you were pleased about a lot of the other ones.
And your screener said that somebody else had mentioned something about this.
So mine is a little darker.
Okay.
I think it's going to be the Jericho missiles.
I think with a full sanction in the United States, I think Israel is going to nuke Iran off the face of the earth.
Really?
And that's not just a political hope.
It could happen.
I can imagine how it could occur.
For example, Iran does get a sort of a half-working nuke.
There is no such thing as or it works or it doesn't.
And they get a nuke and they threaten Israel.
And Israel, as you know, has a lot of nukes buried in the desert.
Everybody knows it, really.
And it could happen.
I could see it happening.
All right.
Prediction number 20 is now officially recorded.
Thank you and take care.
Now isn't it Rush who always says it doesn't matter where I am as long as I'm here, meaning on the radio.
So maybe that's not true because I've got, I'll bet you I've got 2,000 emails from people who are saying now the world is right again.
So it's difficult for me to understand, but maybe it disproves that.
I just don't know.
Or maybe it's just my case, you know, being here in the high desert.
Let's go to Carlos in North Hollywood, California.
Or is it North Hollywood, Florida?
It could be either one.
Well, actually, Noho Arts District in California.
Okay.
Welcome back, Art.
And just good timing, too, because we might not be doing this show otherwise.
Oh?
I mean, you're being here, a fiber optic shot knocked out.
Yeah, you're right.
I'm hearing that it's going to take two to three weeks.
Now they've rerouted, so there's some internet communication, spotty as it is to the Philippines right now, but the fiber connections are going to be out for two to three weeks.
Wow, longer than I thought.
Very good.
My prediction would be that Sometime this upcoming year, 2007, a terrorist incident will occur at a major sporting event, my guess being the Super Bowl, that will either delay or possibly even cause the cancellation of the event during the course of its going on.
God, I hope you're wrong.
Me too.
So, some sort of terrorism at a major sporting event.
We'll leave it at that.
You don't want to specify the Super Bowl, right?
Well, it's probably not the World Series from what I'm seeing.
So, I don't know.
Yeah, probably not.
It's probably a good idea, Art.
Alright, we'll leave it a major sporting event and I just hope you're wrong.
But I've got this horrid feeling you're right.
I hope I'm wrong too.
You take care, my friend.
You too, welcome back.
Right, that is prediction number 21 for the year 2007.
It's inevitably going to occur.
I think that our lettered agencies have been doing a really good job, and I really want to commend them.
Most of what's prevented in terms of terrorism, you never hear about.
Occasionally they do say, look we've caught X number of people who will be put on trial and they really have to say something.
But a lot of terrorist events have been prevented and you just don't know it.
So I want to commend them.
There has literally been not much since 9-11.
And that's not an accident.
That's not luck.
Somebody's doing their job out there, and I know it's easy to criticize the people who work in our secret agencies, but I guess I've got praise for them because it has not happened yet.
Knock on pressed wood.
Let's go to Sally in California.
Sally, welcome to the program.
Good morning, Art.
Welcome home.
Thank you.
I have a prediction that in the third quarter of next year, George Bush will commit suicide.
It'll be due to a scandal that he gets completely depressed about and afraid of being prosecuted for, and that he will commit suicide, but they'll cover it up and make it look like a death by natural causes.
And I'm sure if he should pass away, for some reason you would call and claim a hit, right?
I'd just be celebrating, that's all.
Oh, God.
See, you know, I'd be celebrating.
That's terrible.
So you tried to find a way around the political assassination thing.
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
I truly believe this.
I truly, truly believe this.
I think he will become... I mean, it's so unnatural for him to become so depressed because he has an ego that doesn't allow him to become depressed.
But the fact that you would be overjoyed at something like that, come on.
I think the stock market would go up.
I'm...
Sorry.
Alright, I'll allow it.
Prediction number 22 is reluctantly but officially recorded.
Thank you, Art.
I'll see you later.
That's the kind of thing I'm trying to avoid.
President Bush gets depressed.
Commits suicide.
You know, it would be alright, except for her joy.
Now, you know, why does anybody even run for the presidency anymore?
Everybody, everybody hates the president.
Everybody, the way it works is, I was not, I didn't vote for George Bush as you know, and so I was not a George Bush guy.
But, all in all, he's done alright.
He's faced some pretty tough challenges, and he's not been that bad a president, from my point of view.
So, you couldn't say a negative word about George Bush when he was first elected.
My God, was he popular, right?
Had a war.
Worked out great, seemingly, in the beginning.
Very popular.
And now, toward the end of his presidency, he is one of the most hated figures in the whole world.
Why does anybody run for the presidency anymore?
I mean, every little thing they ever did is gonna be, you know, they're gonna dig into it.
They're just gonna... Why does anybody run?
Why?
Let's go to, well, let's see, how about Torin, I guess, in Olympia, Washington.
You are on the air without a lot of time.
Alrighty, I'll make it short, Art.
Welcome back.
Thank you.
Prediction number 20 kind of took mine, but my prediction was just a limited nuclear exchange.
Oh, really?
Between two nations.
I'm not going to specify which ones, because I don't want to be that specific, but I just have this ungodly, horrible feeling that... So do I. That there's going to be a limited nuclear exchange in 2007.
God, I hope you're wrong.
So do I. But you could be so right.
Alright, it is officially recorded as prediction number 23, and I hope to heck you're wrong, but I have this awful feeling.
That terrorism is eventually... somebody's going to succeed in getting through and... I don't know.
I hope not.
Agencies keep doing a good job.
I'm Art Bell.
Here I am indeed.
Hi everybody!
We are doing official predictions from all of you for the year coming up, 2007.
And it's coming quickly.
Now, once again, please dig into your psychic center and do the very best you can.
Don't give me wishes, hopes, and... I think I just got one of those, even though she said no.
That's not what I want.
I want a real, honest prediction that comes from somewhere inside of you.
Alright?
The joy in her voice was just a little much for me.
Now, one per customer only.
One prediction only.
No assassination prediction.
She got around that one, too, somehow.
And, uh, let's see.
What else?
Let's review a few more while we have an opportunity, just before the break.
Yes, guys, I'll do the break.
All right, here we go.
A caller from Montreal, number 26, said, Iran moves its nuclear refinement activities to Russia.
That is a bonk, as far as I know.
Remember, help me out if I'm wrong.
27, Brian from Texas, Canada will put nanotechnology in its food exports to the U.S.
That could almost be true, but he goes on to say it will cause our demise.
Well, it hasn't done that yet, so bonk.
Number 28.
In January 2006, an unprecedented blizzard will occur in the Northeast U.S.
Now, I'm giving that a tentative ding.
I think there was a giant blizzard that I recall.
So I think that is correct.
29.
Ken from Idaho.
George Bush will resign amid impeachment proceedings.
Well, they tried some proceedings and it didn't work.
That's a bonk, Ken.
Sorry.
30.
Scientists will unlock the immortality gene.
Sadly, that's a bonk, but they're working on it.
31.
Jack from Colorado.
Pope Benedict to assert the Catholic Church as a strong political force.
Hmm.
I don't think any stronger than it has been.
That's a tentative bonk.
Matt from Iowa.
President Bush begins hinting at an exit strategy for Iraq.
Ding, ding, ding.
All right.
Keith from Ontario said, number 33, that a female celebrity will encounter her stalker and she subsequently will be murdered.
Now, I think that's a bonk, but again, feel free to correct me.
34, Roger from California, no high-profile psychic will win Randy's $1 million challenge Ha, ha, ha.
That's a ding.
That's a definite ding.
Ding, ding, ding.
35.
Ted from Australia.
Northern Australia to be hit by fierce storms.
Hmm.
I'm not sure about that one.
I'm going to give it a tentative bonk.
36.
Adam from Massachusetts said cell phones are discovered to cause brain damage and cancer.
Government issues something akin to a Surgeon General's warning about cell phones.
Bonk.
Now there are certainly those who feel that is an issue, but we didn't get any warning.
37.
Terry from California.
A 7-plus earthquake in San Francisco causes a chain reaction of earthquakes throughout California.
New fault lines discovered.
Thankfully, bonk.
Number 38.
Rick from Tennessee.
A giant flock of bats will invade the southern U.S.
via Mexico.
God, you know I heard something about that.
I'm going to give that a tentative ding.
There was something about that.
Number 39.
Bob from Colorado.
Psychic communities online will either come together or tear each other apart.
Psychic warfare possible.
Hmm.
Hmm.
I don't know what to do with that one.
I'm going to bonk it.
I could be wrong.
Jason from Canada with number 40.
A ghost ship or otherwise unknown vessel will be discovered in the ocean.
Again, a tentative bunk.
You all correct me if I'm wrong on any of these.
I'll try and check the fast blasts as we go along.
In a moment, we return with more of your predictions for 2007.
During the break, my board op said, hey, do you think your wife will miss eating Balut?
You know what that is, right?
The partially formed duck or chicken in the egg, considered more delicious if it has crunch, feathers, little bones.
Yuck.
And I said, yes, and I don't care.
So having said this, probably now somebody will send her Balut.
Please don't do that.
Please don't do that.
We're about to dive into more, not about to, we'll just do it right now.
First time caller line, Drew in San Antonio on the air.
Hey Art, how are you?
Okay.
This is Drew and I believe that Swampland in Florida is going to skyrocket in price.
Because oil is going to rise, and I'm an insider on oil, being an evil Republican in Texas.
I sell oil and gas, and oil is going to go to $160 a barrel.
And the wind energy harnessed from hurricanes rushing through Florida is going to cause the price of swampland in Florida to skyrocket.
Are you sure that you don't own swampland in Florida and you're trying to drive the price up?
I haven't purchased it yet.
I'm buying it in San Antonio because it's very cheap.
But Swampland in Florida is unfortunately owned by Parks, mostly, but if someone knows how to do it, I'd certainly like to profit from it.
Also, submarines will go out to the seas and harness energy that way, too.
No, no, no, no, that's another prediction.
I can only take one, Drew.
Thank you very much for the call, and take care.
That's a rule.
One prediction per caller.
Well, the price of oil probably will go back up.
I don't know that Swampland will go up.
Wasn't there an old joke about Swampland in Florida?
Some sort.
First time caller line, Jason in the High Desert.
Hi.
Hi, Art.
Can you hear me okay?
I hear you and the train behind you.
Sorry about that.
We're fanatics down here about that train.
I hardly hear it.
Anyhow, welcome back to High Desert.
We're glad to have you home.
Thank you.
My prediction for this coming year is that HAARP is going to announce a potential defense for incoming objects as asteroids and comets and the like.
Um, you hardly hear that train.
Uh, just a second.
Is that better?
Yes, that's better.
But that train was coming through full.
How could you miss it?
Well, it runs right through my living room.
So it's there so often I hardly even hear the damn thing anymore.
I see.
All right.
So HAARP turns out to be a defense against missiles.
Well, that's just something they're going to announce.
It's a potential that they're going to announce a potential defense.
I think you're right.
I think you're right.
I think that DARPA has hold of this because they have recognized it has strategic value.
So you could be exactly right.
But again, say a two-mile comet or asteroid, something big, not just regular missile defense or knocking down aircraft or anything of that nature.
I hear you.
Okay, buddy.
Recorded as prediction number 25.
Number 25.
Lucky 25.
Yeah, there you go.
Alright, good luck.
And, again, please take the time, folks, to not just rattle something off, but really think it through.
And think whether, well, I guess I can't say think whether your prediction is logical, because a lot of illogical things seem to occur in the world.
But do try to have it be something that has come to you from your psychic center, if possible.
West of the Rockies to Cole in Moses Lake, Washington.
Hey.
Hi, Art.
Welcome home.
Best wishes for a wonderful 2007 to you and Aaron.
Thank you.
And recognizing the loss of Ramona, I think it's wonderful that you have those connections in both directions.
Thank you.
One caller earlier said something, more than one, about Welcome Home and what it is about that you've... Why do people say that?
Well, you're responsible for creating the national treasure, I think.
And the people that you have as your other hosts with George and Ian and the guests like Richard Hoagland and others, too numerous to mention, You've created just a fantastic, not only in entertainment, but educational and spiritual, just a... Well, I agree with all that.
My only point was, Rush frequently says, it matters not where I am, but that I'm here, meaning on the radio.
Right.
But in this case, in my case, it does matter.
And people are upset that if I'm not in the high desert, they're upset.
Well, it's part of the mystique, I guess, that's been created.
I guess.
And, you know, the Kingdom of Nigh, and I've listened to you for years.
Sometime I'd hope you'd do a program, maybe you already have, about the history and the creation of the program.
That would be interesting to me, anyway.
I may do that.
You know, I've been doing it so long now that maybe that would be an appropriate thing to do at some point.
Okay, your prediction is going to be number 26.
What is it, my friend?
Well, I believe that, at least to my knowledge, we haven't had anybody that's really picked up the slack since the loss of Jacques Cousteau.
There's been attempts, and I forget the crocodile guy's name, I'm sorry, but he's had a good run at it.
Jacques Cousteau was pretty unique, too, I thought.
I think whoever steps forward now with this revelation about the whales that beached themselves.
I, you know, you hear about they're lost and they're confused, but actually I think it's just our impatience as, you know, mankind.
We're just not giving them enough of a chance to get back on land where they belong because they are a mammal and we keep dragging them back.
We don't let them grow any legs.
So you think whales really want to come on land, and we're making a mistake by helping them back into the water?
Well, I know it's a little light-hearted, probably, as compared to some of the more morose predictions that have been made.
No, actually, I'm going to put your prediction down as predicting a new Jacques Cousteau.
Right.
Okay?
Great.
Keep up the great work.
God bless you.
Thank you very much, and God bless you as well.
Okay, let's see where to go.
I should look at these times and try and react to the people who have been waiting.
Wildcard Line 4, Rob in Pennsylvania, you're on the air.
Hey, welcome home and happy New Year's.
Thank you.
I'm going to make my prediction, then I'm going to make a challenge or a request, whichever way you want to look at it, okay?
Which kind of ties in with my prediction a little bit.
Okay.
I think this year that the 9-11 Truth Movement is going to pretty much That's already happened.
to the mainstream, but... That's already happened. Yeah, I mean Fox News is 41%, but I mean,
I'm talking like, uh, sort of the way that we think about the JFK conspiracy, where everybody
kind of knows there's more to it, even if they disagree on the hows and what's, you know what I
mean? But I think the way it's going to happen is either, uh, through the release of a video,
you know, CNN's kind of has to sue to get that Pentagon videos and never show a plane.
You know, I personally believe Flight 77 hit, but a lot of people don't believe that.
I think it's either going to be that or a high-level government whistleblower.
And my feeling on that, it might be Rumsfeld.
Because if you look at, since he kind of got booted out, and they said it was kind of in a disrespectful way, have you seen some of the comments he's made?
Some, yes.
Little things here and there where you can kind of see where, I mean, I could see him making a comment, say, even where it gets released in like a European newspaper, and then it kind of gains steam over here.
That sort of thing, that kind of gets it out there.
Well, I guess you know how I feel about that.
Well, that kind of leads into my second point.
Sure.
Now, I've heard, when you had Ben Shurtoff on the show, and I think that, I mean, for people that have read the article in the Popular Mechanics book, I mean, a lot of that is coming to question, certainly.
My challenge to you is have Alex Jones on the show, have an open debate, which you've always been able to do, whether you agreed or not.
But Alex Jones has been on many times.
Yeah, with George, who's more sympathetic to his views.
I mean, I'd like to see what... Even say Jim Mars, who wrote a great book, The Terror Conspiracy.
I mean, have somebody on that knows what they're talking about on that subject that, I mean, you could kind of see eye to eye on, even if you disagree, and have an open-air debate, you know, and then see what happens.
Because, I mean, there's so much out there.
I mean, a lot of it is garbage, obviously.
Like the Larry Silverstein comment was taken way out of context, I believe.
I mean, there's so much information and questions out there, I think it should at least be talked about with you.
You know what I'm saying?
It's a different show that you do than what George does.
Yeah, we do different programs.
Alright, Rob.
Look, I'll say this.
I don't for one second think that the United States orchestrated its own demise with regard to 9-11.
And if I really believed that it did, I couldn't live in this country.
If I thought the United States killed its own citizens in a terror attack on itself, and I don't for one second believe this, I don't know that I could be an American anymore.
And frankly, I wonder how a lot of the people who do firmly believe that can feel that way.
It's so out in total left field for me.
I mean, I saw the planes.
Yes, I know the controversy about not so much near the Pentagon, but it was near total disintegration.
And there were plenty of plane parts found.
We know it was a plane.
If it didn't hit that, where the hell did that plane go?
Now, I'm not... I don't want to get into a big...
debate tonight about the 9-11 so-called truth movement.
I think the truth of 9-11 is self-evident.
However, I'm not against looking into it further in one way or another.
I don't know the appropriate way to do that.
It actually, to be honest with you, it makes me angry.
Not as angry as I would be if they would turn out in some way, any way at all, even if it was nothing more than the United States government in any way at all being complicit in an action, that action.
It would just, it would tear my heart out.
Literally, it would tear my heart out.
So, I guess for now that's all I'll say about that.
Let's go east of the Rockies to Pete in Cleveland.
You're on the air.
Hello, Art.
Good to talk to you.
And to you, sir.
All right.
My prediction is that George Steinbrenner, the owner of the Yankees, will step down due to illness and turn it over to his son-in-law, Hal.
Really?
Yes.
Okay.
Yeah, if you look at him, he's wearing down.
He was sick last spring and it's just all going to get to him and he's going to step down.
Okay, that is now officially recorded as number 28.
That would sort of be the end of an era, wouldn't it?
Oh, it sure would be terrible.
I mean, as much as everybody complains about him, it would be a shame to see him go.
He's good for baseball.
It's funny.
People complain about people while they're doing what they're doing.
And then when they're gone, all the opinions change.
They certainly do, and it happens all the time.
If you just watch anything going around you, it happens.
All right.
Prediction 28.
Hope it doesn't happen.
That's right.
Thank you, Art.
Take care.
And I do appreciate, for the most part, the quality of the predictions that we're getting tonight.
They're pretty good.
Wild Card Line, Susan in Florida, your turn.
Oh, hi there, Art.
I am also glad that you're back home.
We really missed you, and even though, like you say, you really didn't go away on the radio, but we still missed you.
It was like part of us was over there with you.
Boy, did I find that out.
Yikes.
We're all connected.
It's that, you know, that quantum physics thing, I think.
Anyway, my prediction is, it's kind of strange, but I think that Generally, 2007's going to be the year of the heavens.
2007, the year of the heavens.
And one prediction concerning that, I see fireballs coming down on the Earth.
And I don't know what they are.
I don't know what kind of fireballs they are, but I don't know if they're weapons.
I don't know if they're debris.
I don't know if something's exploded.
Well, whatever they are, it doesn't sound good.
No, it doesn't.
All right.
It's very much actually like another caller's prediction that we would see things zooming from the skies.
All right.
It's prediction number 29.
Thank you.
2007, the year of the heavens.
Things, fireballs.
She doesn't know if they're weapons or they're rocks.
I'm Art Bell.
This is Coast to Coast AM.
Yes indeed, here I am.
I've got to tell you a funny Aaron story.
This one really is funny.
I took her to a restaurant in Manila.
That served her for the first time in her entire life.
Filipinos don't eat baked potatoes.
And so I took her to an Americanized steakhouse in the Philippines.
No, correction, it was in Hong Kong.
That's where I was.
And she ordered a baked potato with a steak.
She didn't know what it was, but she ordered a baked potato.
Oh my God, she went wild!
It was the best thing that she ever tasted in her whole life.
And she asked me, she said, if I go to the U.S., can I get baked potatoes?
And I said, sure, no problem.
We've got baked potatoes all over the place.
Well...
Every single night since we've been back, I've taken her to one of our local restaurants, and if what she orders does not come with a baked potato, then she orders it a la carte.
Now she has a plan tomorrow to make a baked potato in the microwave.
Somebody, a gal at the store today, told her how she could do it.
In the microwave.
So tomorrow is baked potato day.
I mean, she has gone totally berserk for baked potatoes with sour cream and butter.
She'll just start eating that and go, oh boy, this is good.
Boy, this is good.
Boy, this is good.
So, at her age, she has just discovered the world of baked potatoes.
It's actually a riot.
We're doing predictions for 2007.
This is the annual stab at letting you, the listeners, not the professional psychics, they're all over the place, we'll have them, but this is you.
All of you.
I want a good year, and I've got a feeling we're on the way to it.
Your predictions continue in a moment.
Another kind of interesting, quick Aaron story, and that is, you know, I took her into a casino here, and the casinos in the Philippines, well, let's put it this way, they don't have what we have here in Nevada called the Nevada Gaming Commission, and the casinos there Let's see, how can I put this without getting in trouble?
You don't get quite the same odds there that you get here in Nevada, and things are watched very carefully.
And so I walked in, I put $1 in a machine, and walked out with $1.45, and she just couldn't believe it, that we actually pulled a handle and won something.
Wildcard Line, Don, in Reno, Nevada, you're on the air.
Hi Art, it's a real pleasure to talk with you during our interesting times.
Oh, they are.
Yeah, what I did, I already signed.
Oh, the caller earlier who said you were a national treasure, do you remember that?
Yes, sir.
Denmark had designated Victor Borge as a national treasure.
I think we could do it for you.
I don't want to be designated a national treasure.
OK, well, we'll just call you good guy then.
Thank you.
You deserve it.
I wrote mine down, so I'll read it to you if that's all right.
Fire away.
Okay, George Bush will veto a congressional act that designates election fraud as domestic treason.
That's my prediction.
Wow.
Alright, I've got to boil this down.
Bush vetoes... Making election fraud domestic treason.
Is there such a bill underway?
No, but I think nationwide Because of the problems with electronic voting machines, you know, it's kind of like an electronic jungle out there.
And I think, you know, there's an opportunity now with the change in congressional power and just an opportunity, you know, but I think if it does go through, he'll veto it.
I really believe that.
You know, I'll say this.
Thank you very much for the prediction.
I'm kind of worried about It's a general worry.
I have no reason to be worried about all this electronic voting, but I'm concerned about it.
Knowing what can be done with computers, knowing what hackers can do, I am a little bit worried about it.
And I know a lot of people are a lot worried about it.
And maybe there is some reason to be concerned about it.
Anything that a computer can do, a good hacker can kind of undo.
Yeah, I've got a little concern about that.
Let's go to Bill in Two Harbors, Minnesota.
Hi Art.
Hi Bill.
Glad to have you back, and it is an honor to talk to you too.
Thank you.
I'm calling from the mysterious North Shore up here in Minnesota, Two Harbors, and what I'm thinking about tonight is funny because the last, not the last caller, but the lady that called it I have a feeling that a significant UFO event is going to happen next year that's going to be probably at an outdoor sporting event or something that's going to involve a large group of people.
Possibly there's going to be media there and possibly some sort of government or political function of some sort that will be held outdoors where It's going to be something that's going to be real hard to avoid or real hard to say.
You know, having said that, that would be such an interesting thing if, you know, pick on the Super Bowl.
Why not?
If a UFO buzzed the Super Bowl and all the networks got, you know, close-up shots of it and there was no question about it, how do you think this country, and in fact the world, would react?
Well, I think it'd be pretty tough to slide that one under the rug.
To swamp gas it, yeah.
Yeah, I mean, there's just so many times you can do that.
I just think that with the way things are going right now, I mean, I'm in the process of working on a book, and it involves UFO phenomena as well.
Now, wait a minute.
Is this a real prediction from your psychic center, sir, or is it a book promotion?
Well, no.
No, it's not intended to be a book promotion.
But it would be a great opportunity.
I really think that something like this is really in the offing.
I mean, there's so many things going on.
It wouldn't happen to be the subject of your book, would it?
Well, it's not specifically.
The name of the book is The Mysterious North Shore.
But anyway, it's not the only thing where I'm covering all kinds of phenomenon.
But this one is so big.
And the more that we go into it, there's so much information here, and so many sightings up here, and so many reports.
We talked to a deputy sheriff tonight that was willing to go on the record, give his name.
As seeing something as big as a jet airliner, you know, right over his head back in the 70s, and that changed his life, you know?
Yeah, it's been pretty quiet, with the exception of South America, where there's been all kinds of things going on.
Your area has been a hotspot for quite a while now, no question about it.
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
I'm glad that somebody else is noticing that, because it goes back a ways, too, you know, up here.
It sure does.
I really feel like something like this is really kind of inevitable in a way.
I mean, I'm not, I'm not a dyed-in-the-wool, you know, we're being visited by aliens daily and I don't know about a lot of things to do with that, but the more I look into it, the more I realize this is a real, real thing.
There's something out there.
Okay, well it's been recorded as a prediction number 31.
Thank you very much.
Wouldn't that be something if a big triangle or a big saucer were to overfly a big event and the network cameras irresistibly would focus on it thinking it was part of the celebration, no doubt.
And my God, what would happen?
What would happen?
What would the populace do when it was undeniable, when the government had no choice, and we had good, clear shots of it?
I mean, a lot of times, you know, the big playoff games that we're about to have, and the Super Bowl, they focus, for example, on the moon.
You get the most beautiful shot of the moon.
Well, if something came overhead, The networks would think it was part of the celebration, and they would get a great shot of it.
No question about it.
All right, let's go to another wild card line.
Rosemary in Newport Beach.
Hi.
Hi, Art.
Welcome back.
Thank you.
And bless you and your precious wife.
You keep us so entertained with stories about Aaron and your new cat, Dolly.
Well, you know, I just talk about my life.
I've always done that.
I guess I can't help it.
Well, you know, here's the thing.
This isn't a psychic prediction, but I'm a believer.
I'm a Christian.
And this is probably not one of the most favorite things I've ever said.
And I'm a first-time caller.
And my daughter discovered you about 11 years ago on the radio.
Wait, wait, I want to stop you.
You said you're a Christian, so it's not a psychic prediction.
Why can you not be a Christian and have a psychic prediction?
Well, you know what?
I would use, that's probably the wrong term.
What I would use rather would be a revelation.
Something that the Lord showed me.
Okay, I mean, so if it's a matter of semantics.
Okay, so it's a revelation, I believe, from the Lord.
And it's a hard one, and with all my heart, I pray it doesn't come to happen.
But I thought, you know, I've never called.
I've only listened, and frankly, I want to tell you this, too.
I think that it's absolutely important that you and Aaron are here, geographically, for whatever reasons the Lord has for that as well.
I think there's just so much.
Uh, about you two being here and your precious baby on the way, and I don't know if it's a girl or a boy.
My tendency is it's a girl, so I hope I'm not spoiling anything, but... Well, we have picked out a name for a girl.
Uh, if it's a girl, her name is going to be Asia.
Oh, that's beautiful!
Anyway, that said, let's have your prediction.
Okay, Art.
And to all your listeners, this is not something I would never in a million years want to see happen, but I think that there is going to be a total economic collapse in the United States of America, and I think that it's because of the devaluation of the dollar, as well as China switching over to the Euro, the Middle East switching over to the Euro, And the events of the world in general, the things that are going on in the Middle East and with Iran.
And I disagree with one of your earlier callers.
I don't think Russia would be part of the thing against Israel.
I think that Russia would probably front Syria and Iran to attack Israel.
Okay.
Well, an economic collapse is...
Yeah, total economic collapse and money being worth nothing.
Our money being worth nothing.
And 401Ks, it's like the 1929 stock exchange.
And my dad grew up shortly after, during that period, and it sort of knocks sense back into people, and it would be a huge tragedy, but at the same time, It might be a good place to reconnect with our roots, you know?
And I was thinking about Erin with her baked potatoes, and I thought, they're so easy to grow, and you can get them at Wendy's for a buck, and they're delicious!
They don't have baked potatoes in the Philippines.
Oh no, you've got to go to Wendy's.
They make great baked potatoes.
And also, you can barbecue them.
They're awesome barbecued in tinfoil.
She will flip out.
And you know what?
Part of that is hormonal because she's craving complex carbohydrates.
Your body craves the right things.
And I thought, so I'm sitting here not only praying for Erin and giving you this dire, horrible thing, but I thought, I love her.
I love her.
I can see this little Eskimo running around in a Gore-Tex coat.
I'll tell you, I'll take a picture of her in that coat.
It's a riot.
I've got to go, dear.
I'm out of time.
But I'll take a picture.
It is a riot.
She looks like a little Eskimo girl and, you know, she constantly is commenting, oh, it's cold, it's cold, it's cold.
And when we got here, as I mentioned, we had 55, 60 mile an hour winds with temperatures in the 20s and the wind chill factor Must have been zero or below.
What a greeting to the United States.
Now of course that's all stopped.
It's calm now.
And quite nice in the middle of our short days at this time of the year.
The desert warms up quite nicely.
So she's finally received kind of a different view of things.
But that first day, can you imagine?
Coming from a country where you always have temperatures in the high 80s, you always have humidity hovering around 100%.
Can you imagine walking into that and what you would think?
West of the Rockies, Ron in Las Vegas, just over the hill, you're on the air.
Hello Art, thank you.
Yes sir.
I mentioned to your screener many, many years ago, I was told about 07 and the name Valin going with it.
In a vision while I was waking up.
I was living on Paradise Road at the time in Vegas.
And I believe next year, 07, is going to be the year that Nostradamus predicted would happen when Asia, I guess it's going to be North Korea, attacks Russia and the United States at the same time with nuclear weapons.
I believe that Vladivostok, the Russian naval submarine base, is going to be attacked at the same time that our Alaskan oil fields and Nome, Alaska is hit.
They'd have to be completely, totally, sir, they'd have to be out of their minds.
No, they're still at war with the United Nations, and everybody has forgotten that.
No, they're at war.
Oh, there is a bot, sir.
Okay, I'll listen.
But if they did that, we would turn them to ash with the help of the Russians.
Well, I believe it's going to happen.
That's all.
You asked for predictions, and I've been sitting on this for many, many years, and I just believe that 07 is the year that that's going to happen, and very well.
Sadr disappears from Iraq, reappears in Iran, Well, he disappears from Iraq, he'll be in Iran, and then he reappears in France with his whole militia.
Ron, I'm going to make a deal with you.
You hit this prediction, and I will have you on for a whole show.
I hope I'm wrong.
I hope you're wrong too.
But as I said, you hit it, and we will do an entire program together.
North Korea may be crazy.
To attack the U.S.
would be crazy.
To attack the U.S.
and Russia at the same time, the two countries that hold more nuclear weapons than any other countries in the world would be total, instant, absolute suicide.
We would turn that country into glass with the help of the Russians.
And finally, we'd get to use those nuclear weapons that we've been stockpiling, as have the Russians, And so I suppose we wouldn't have to tear so many down.
I mean, we would just simply turn them to dust.
So I have this strong feeling that that just can't happen.
You never know.
Wild Card Line 4, Jim in Sinking Springs, Pennsylvania?
That's me.
Sinking Spring, actually.
Why that name?
Well, there's actually a creek that runs through the town and the spring sinks periodically.
And the creek runs dry and then it comes back up again and the creek starts to run.
It's an old Indian name.
Oh, be darned.
All right.
Right on the edge of the Amish country.
Yes, sir.
Well, anyway, first of all, I want to join the chorus of your previous callers who have welcomed you home.
Thank you.
And it's good to hear you back in the high desert.
Well, it is good to be back.
Art, I have another one of those.
I hope it doesn't come through predictions, but I have to call them as I see them.
Sure.
I believe that this coming year there's going to be a volcanic catastrophe in the Caribbean.
And I'm seeing the island of Montserrat, and I believe this is going to be something of the magnitude of Krakatoa.
Oh my God.
Yeah.
I'm really hoping it doesn't happen.
The geological ramifications of something like that would be just, well, you know.
I do.
I sure do.
I really hope it doesn't happen.
But there's so much going on geologically in the Caribbean that I just see this happening.
All right.
Well, knock on my pressed wood here.
I hope it doesn't happen, but your prediction is now officially recorded.
Okay.
And give me a knock on your pressed wood, too, please.
I'll do that.
You take care.
As usual, predictions tend to be on the dark side.
Having come just from a country where there was a whole lot of shaking going on, there were... How many typhoons did we have?
It was sort of the typhoon of the week club.
And of course we had volcanoes going on.
I mean, it was amazing living amongst all that.
It really was the shake and bake syndrome.
Southeast Asia is full of that.
So the High Desert does, by comparison, seem rather calm save that first day of 60 mile an hour winds.
From the High Desert and the Great American Southwest, I'm Art Bell with predictions for 2007.
Indeed.
Here I am.
Hi, everybody.
A lot of people are asking me why I came back from the Philippines, and that's sort of a multiple-part answer, and I'll just do it very quickly.
I guess the primary thing was the recirculation and, in fact, the republication of that godforsaken A Filipino hate letter that somebody attributed to me years ago, some jerk went to the UCSD library and sent it out in my name down there, and that circulated around the world, was even published in a newspaper while I was there, and there was some danger from that.
So, that was one, and the other is, that of course, as you know, we have a child on the way, And so we might well be the target of who knows what as a result of that letter.
That's our primary motivation.
Secondarily, our child will be born here in the U.S.
Would have been a citizen either way.
Just would have been a lot more paperwork the other way.
So there you have it.
That was pretty much it.
Aaron was not really dying to come to the U.S.
and however, there were things motivating us and those chiefly were the things.
And of course, might I say that I missed ham radio.
I missed my antennas.
And, as you know, I had a little... Anyway, so I'm, you know, sort of a multitude of things with that damn letter at the head of the list.
All right, we're going to do more predictions only tonight and tomorrow night.
Only those predictions made on the air.
So I'm going to get to as many as I can.
More coming in a moment.
And I want to emphasize that all of that said, I love the Philippines.
I love the Filipino people.
And you know obviously after we have the baby and things calm down a bit, we'll take the baby back.
And show the family and all of that.
So, you know, we've got the ability now to be in two places.
But it looks as though, you know, we'll be here for a year or so, at least.
And then go back and visit.
But we're probably here.
It's kind of looking that way.
And I'll let you know more as, you know, time goes on.
I mean, life is a fluid thing.
Let's go to Chris in St.
Louis.
Chris, you're on the air.
Good evening, Art.
Good evening.
Welcome back.
Thank you.
And to your wife.
Thank you.
My prediction, the United States will get the Panama Canal back from China.
It'll be on kind terms, nothing bad.
Well, if I understand it correctly, I think Panama actually owns the canal, but China sort of runs it under contract or something?
Correct.
But the United States will gain majority of control over it again.
Do you believe that we will take it back?
No, nothing severe.
They'll just give it back to us.
Maybe Panama will not like the way China's been running it?
Something like that, but I can't You know, focus in on that much of it.
Got it.
No, that's a good prediction.
That's right along the lines of the kind of prediction I want.
Right on.
It's number 35.
And a happy New Year to you and your wife.
And a very happy New Year to you.
I wish, now of course I'm going to be here on the air on New Year's Eve.
I kind of wish I would have the opportunity to take Erin into Las Vegas and see the madness, the wildness that goes on in Las Vegas on New Year's Eve.
But instead we will be here with all of you.
It should be quite a night indeed.
Alright, east of the Rockies is Dottie in Missouri.
Hi Art.
Hi.
I'll get right to my prediction.
Okay.
You're going to have a boy.
Really?
Yes.
And it's going to be birthed by a cesarean section.
And I can see why you're guessing that.
I'm not guessing.
And I see a previous caller thought you were going to have a girl.
And then you said you picked out the name of Asia.
Is that for a girl or for a boy?
That's for a girl.
For a girl.
Well, I told the screener before I ever heard any of what I've already said that the child's initials would be AB.
That is correct.
Well, I'll tell you, Erin is 4 feet 8 inches tall.
Oh, she is tiny.
Yes, and I'm 6 feet tall.
So, a prediction of a c-section... Keep her away from those baked potatoes with butter.
There's no way to do that, I can assure you.
It's like she has discovered a food that she has fallen in love with, and I cannot take her to a restaurant without the first item being, can I get a baked potato here?
The first time I was in the Philippines, I made potato salad for everyone, and it was a real hit, so you might try her on potato salad too.
I might try her, but this baked potato with sour cream and butter has just got her.
Yeah, but as she gets further along in her pregnancy, you better stay away from the potato.
Yeah, you're probably right.
All right, thank you very much.
And a prediction of a boy, well, it'll be love no matter what it is.
And let's move on to Harlan.
I'm trying to get as many as I can.
Harlan in Del Rio, Texas.
You're on the air, bud.
Hey Art, listening to you on my CC radio.
Yes, sir.
Aren't they great?
Yeah, I love it.
I get in mode, I'm highly psychokinetic, and the liquid crystal display goes out on it.
I used to electrocute myself a lot when I was a kid, and then later on in life, I started working around these high-energy ignitions on outboards, and they'd pack out like 80,000 volts per pass for discharge, and I've been shot plenty of times by that.
It was like stun gun voltage, you know, it leaves you slobbering a little bit.
Well, I've done myself some number of times in my life, sir.
Yeah, and I used to put my hands and my face on the TV, the old-style TVs, when you turned them off, you know, leave a hand print.
But I get in mode and clocks quit working, I can't wear a watch, or the radio will come on, or just anything electrical around me just starts acting weird.
My room's real dark.
When I climb out of my bed, I leave, like, this low, glow, blue aura, or sparkly follow.
Well, I wouldn't let you anywhere near my equipment.
That's for sure.
All right.
My old boss, lady, she forbid me to get next to her.
I fully understand that.
All right.
Prediction number 37, sir.
It is what?
Okay.
I visualize I'm in the Astroplane, and I visualize the corner of your house.
And I see six feet from the corner.
I see a books on one side, a small table with the lamp on the right side by a window.
Thick wall, light colored.
Anyway, between the first and the third, next time you go to use that lamp, the light bulb's going to blow out.
Okay, I need a... So that is your prediction, a blown light bulb?
Yeah, I'm going to burn out the light bulb by concentrating on it.
Well, that's really...
That's, uh, that's... You're gonna do that to me?
Well, just to show you I can do it.
I can do a couple in a row.
Uh, no thank you.
Oh, no!
Alright, prediction number 37 is... Different prediction.
Uh-oh.
Would you like a different one?
No, no, I'll take that one.
Only one prediction per person.
And I didn't even like that one.
Gonna blow out my light bulbs.
Huh.
Boy.
People.
Let's make it all the way to Tennessee and Jack.
You're on the air, Jack.
Hey Art.
Hey.
How's everything?
Pretty well, thank you.
I'm still adjusting from a trip around the world here.
Well, it doesn't really matter to me where you are.
I'm just glad you're enjoying life.
There you go.
My prediction Some folks have mentioned the weakening dollar earlier, but let's get smaller than that.
Talk about pennies, nickels, dimes, quarters.
In 2007, it will reach critical mass that those coins are good investments.
Really?
Yeah.
Okay.
You mean the metal in them will be worth more than the face value of the coin?
Exactly.
That's very interesting.
That's a very interesting prediction.
Well, it happened in the early 50s and 60s.
Silver got more valuable than the content of the coin, you know.
It'll happen again.
Very, very, very interesting prediction.
Recorded as number 38, and I thank you for that.
That's very interesting.
I wonder if that really could happen.
I guess it could, huh?
Let's go west of the Rockies to a neighbor.
It's Richard in Las Vegas.
Hi Art.
Happy New Year to you, your wife, and your whole family.
Glad to have you back.
There's been a void in that area of Trump you could see like the pyramid.
Everything was like the Twilight Zone and now that piece of the puzzle is back in place.
Welcome home.
Thank you.
My prediction, it's funny you just have the number 38 because there's like the quarters are all zinc.
They're practically worthless unless you get proof sets.
My prediction is that the U.S.
Treasury will actually change or do away with denominations of either notes or coins to save money, to get us to buy more, and to Keep a different flow in the economy than what we have now.
You know, it's interesting, because how long do you think they're going to keep making the penny?
Well, I think that that's almost on its way out, and that's very close.
And they're going to start making presidential dollars, but I don't know in coins.
But I don't know if those are going to be for the general public or just for the collector.
Very, very interesting prediction.
And it sort of goes with the last one.
So maybe you guys are on to something.
Yes.
Buy proofs.
Don't buy usual silver.
It's not silver.
You've got to get proof.
Got it.
Thanks, Richard.
You know, in the Philippines, they have, of course, pesos.
And then the smallest denomination, I believe, is 25 centavos.
And 25 centavos is a quarter of a peso, bearing in mind that there are roughly 50, 49, 50 pesos to the dollar, a centavo Even as poor as the Philippines is, and it's a very poor country, with very happy people, a conundrum, people might not reach down and pick up 25 centavos, which is again a quarter of a peso.
So you can kind of work that value out in your mind.
Paula in Kansas, you're on the air.
Hi Art, welcome back.
Thank you.
I had a dream a couple of nights ago about reptilians that I was just fascinated with.
I believe that the reptilians are going to surface to claim those that are walking the earth that are not aware that they're a reptilian.
So, when you say surface, do you mean they will come up from beneath the earth?
Yes.
What a wonderful horror movie that would make.
Because the dream that I had, I was being cradled as a child would cradle a doll and I was being told that it won't be much longer, you will be back with us.
And then the following night, I had another reptilian dream that I was on a cruise ship at a fantastic party, great seafood buffet, and Once the party started dwindling down, the one guy that was the most popular said, OK, I'm ready to go home.
Come on, let's go.
And just shed his skin and his reptilian stand in there and showed me how to do the same thing.
And we went off the side of the ship.
Oh, brother.
That's really something.
All right.
It is officially recorded as prediction number 40.
And I certainly hope you're wrong.
The last thing I would want to see You ever watch those undead movies?
You know, when people are suddenly coming alive and they're making a lot of undead movies.
They're actually sort of, in a weird, bizarre way, enjoyable to watch.
But I don't want any of the, uh, either the undead nor reptilians crawling up from under the earth.
Thank you very much.
Yuck.
Let's go to Gary in Connecticut, east of the Rockies.
You're on the air.
Art, great show as usual, and you're closing out the year with a tremendous show tonight and tomorrow with these predictions.
I love it.
I love it, Art.
Well, I really like that, you know, it's a little different to allow the average person, and we have many average, very psychic people out there, instead of having the usual lineup of psychics on the air to do predictions, let all of you do it.
Right.
And first of all, I'd like to let you know that you are a big hit, not only with Ham Radio, but Shortwave Radio is a big hit with Art Bell.
You have a lot of fans.
If you ever go to the website, TheRightPerspective.com, you are the biggest hit on that website from all your fans.
It's like a fan website.
Thank you.
Your prediction is?
No, no, no, please.
I'm not comfortable.
Okay.
And your prediction is?
Yes, I have a prediction.
America in 2007 will have at least 50 million illegal aliens in it.
That'll be the official count.
They're holding the number down and they're gradually escalating that number because they don't want the people, the American people, to be overwhelmed.
We live right now in a giant refugee camp.
That's what the United States has become, Art.
It's unfortunate.
I mean, the whole world is coming here because of the technology.
It's actually a high-tech I do agree that we've damn well got to control our borders.
I don't know what it's going to take.
The amount of money that we're spending in Iraq right now could completely cover our borders, probably several times over.
I don't know why we can't do it.
There's nothing wrong with having, for example, Farm workers come to the U.S.
We need that work, and we can provide for that.
But otherwise, why not secure our borders so people can't walk across?
Come on, now!
The problem is, the people, like the President of the United States, he can't say it, but he actually doesn't believe in borders.
If you really listen to the way he talks, it's like, hey, anyone who can get in, you're in.
And you've got to realize too hard, I mean, you know, you're a smart guy.
People in America have visas.
Their visas expire.
That's how they get in here.
And I notice our trade policies.
Whenever we make a trade agreement, we always seem to absorb about 20-30% of that country's population.
Folks, that's also part of the trade agreement.
And as these visas expire, these people aren't leaving.
We can't absorb this no more.
We have to have massive deportations.
Without that, folks, this country, this great country, is finished.
Well, alright.
Massive deportations?
I don't know.
I suppose if somebody is found to be illegally here, they darn well ought to be deported.
What we have instead of that is massive forgiveness.
In other words, if you manage to remain here long enough illegally, you are forgiven and made into a citizen.
And every time they do it, and it's been a cyclic thing, They say this will be the last time we're going to do this, and after this we're going to crack down on the border, and they never do.
And then later they just do the same thing all over again.
I would think if our government is as concerned about terrorism as they claim to be, that
what they would do is spend some fairly serious money, and we have fairly serious money, on
securing our borders, both north and south.
And if we don't do that, we're going to find out that some horrible, horrible terrorist
incident has occurred because somebody has walked across a border, or they've put something
awful in a big rig, that has come driving across one of the borders, and then exploded,
or aerosoled us to death.
I mean, something like that is eventually going to happen and it could be prevented by something as simple as securing our borders.
Why is that wrong?
What is wrong with that?
We don't have to stop the farm workers.
This is turning into a little speech, I suppose.
We need them.
They do a lot of very needed labor for America, and it's just fine.
But they can be monitored, controlled, and when the work is done, they go home.
Why can't we do that?
I'm Art Bell.
Yes, here I am.
Alright, last year was not a good year for predictions.
We've had many good years, but last year, I think people were affected by the tsunami and had other things on their mind.
I'm going to, before the break, read a few more from last year.
Pope Benedict will not be Pope by the end of 2006, one way or the other.
Bonk.
Tom from New Jersey, number 42.
Suitcase nuke detonates inside St.
Patrick's Cathedral in late July.
Good Lord, Bonk.
43.
George Bush will be out of office between January 31 and May 15, 2006.
He'll move on to a new job.
Bonk.
Caller from Alberta, Canada.
Group will help Saddam Hussein escape from custody and or kill him.
Well, he's dead, but not by a group.
Bonk.
45.
Chris from California.
Iran and Israel go to war.
Bonk.
Bad, bad, bad.
46.
Caller from Texas.
A cultural revolution.
Baby boomers will revolt against youth culture.
Now, that one I'm going to kind of ding, ding, ding.
That has gone on.
47, Jean from Texas.
Mississippi River Valley to experience a major flood.
I think that's a bonk.
48, caller from Toronto.
One world government comes to power via faked UFO attack.
A lot of people have said that.
Bonk.
Number 49, Bob from Arizona.
Suitcase nuke detonates in downtown Phoenix.
God bonk!
50 Raw from Florida genetic testing will prove that Prince Harry is not the son of Prince Charles.
And I believe that is also a bonk.
So that was just a bunch of bonks.
Back to your predictions for the coming year in a moment.
Not to be concerned.
If you do not get in with your official prediction tonight, you certainly will have another opportunity tomorrow night.
Roger in Omaha, Nebraska, you're on the air.
Art, welcome back.
Happy New Year to you.
Thank you.
Same to you.
OK, I was going to mention something about Bill O'Reilly, but I'm not going to because I have a much stronger psychic prediction that I want to mention to you.
I believe the Sean Benet Ramsey case The truth will finally, finally be solved and there's going to be shocking, shocking revelations from Mr. Ramsey that's going to shock the world and it's about Patsy Ramsey.
Okay.
Officially now recorded as prediction 42.
That's all I want to say and I want to get off the line so a lot of other people can get in.
Thank you very much, and yes, we're trying to get as many as we can.
Wildcard Line, John in Milwaukee.
Hey Art, Happy New Year.
Same to you.
Okay, I'll make this quick.
Due to record rainfall across the Midwest, it'll be an intense mosquito infestation, so serious that the President will declare it an emergency area.
Really?
Yes.
After record rainfall, okay.
And it's all across the Midwest?
Yes.
That could actually happen.
And it certainly would be a disaster.
Yes.
All right.
Officially recorded as 43.
Thanks, Art.
You're very welcome, and you have a good night and a happy new year.
And Sherry in Shasta County, California, howdy.
Hi there, how are you doing tonight?
Just fine.
Great.
Okay, my prediction is that I believe that the government is going to release information this year.
They're going to release two reports, one in April.
It's going to lead to a major report, a major release, July 7th of 07th, that they have proof that there was once intelligent life on other planets.
Really?
Any idea how they will have gathered this information?
Well, I think they already have it, but they're going to make a release next year, April, and then in July.
And watch his face closely because you're going to see a lot of fear in his face and you'll see that he's holding back a lot of truth because he's only allowed to release a small bit of information.
Well, I was just wondering if, for example, the Mars rovers gave us this?
I believe so.
All right.
Officially recorded.
Thank you.
Okay.
Bye.
And take care.
I do like the way the predictions are going this night.
These are pretty wild, interesting, and some of them certainly have, you know, some chance of coming true.
First time caller line, you're on the air.
Hello there.
Bill, Utah.
Yes, this is Bill, heading northbound in southern Utah.
Welcome back, Art.
Thank you.
I have a prediction, Art.
I'm a truck driver that I travel the western United States, and I travel the 15 corridor as well as I-5 corridor, and I have a prediction that this year we will see some of the Cascadian volcanoes come to life, other than Mount St.
Helens.
Right.
A lot of people are on the lookout for that and are kind of jittery every time there's a little rumbling.
Yeah, I grew up in Northern California around Mount Shasta, so that one, you know, from Mount Laughlin all the way up to Mount Baker, you know, I feel we'll see some of them come to life.
Okay, officially recorded as number 45.
I think you are.
All right.
Thank you, and take care.
See, there's no hanky-panky here.
When you get to make a prediction on Coast to Coast AM on this particular program every year, there's no hanky-panky.
There's no going back.
If you get it right, you really get it right in front of millions.
East of the Rockies, Mike in Nashville.
Hi, Art.
Art, I wish you had stayed in the Philippines.
I didn't want you to come back until next week.
You blew my prediction.
Oh, I see.
You thought I would be, your prediction would be that I was coming back in 07.
Yes, that's exactly right, and I thought about it a long time.
Alright, let me tell you how close you were.
Alright?
Let me tell you how close you were.
Once we got the visa and the immigration all done, we went to Philippine Airlines and we
tried to book a flight in January, the first part of January.
We actually thought it would be more intelligent to do that.
And we went to the office, and guess what?
All the flights into the middle of January coming back from the Philippines were full.
And the reason for that is, so many Filipinos who live elsewhere, mostly here in the U.S., go to visit their families for the holiday season, including Christmas and the New Year.
And then, of course, as soon as New Year's is over, they fly home!
So the only thing we could get was December 26th.
Well, at any rate, welcome back.
Thank you.
And my prediction is Walmart will buy China.
Walmart buys China?
Yes.
That's good humor, but you know it's not going to happen.
I had two predictions that I wanted to make, and I'm going to combine these.
I'm going to say, as a result of the San Diego Chargers winning the Super Bowl, that there will 2007 will be the year of a lot of mega mergers.
Mega corporate mergers.
Well, now, what does that have to do with the Chargers?
That's just a way to get two predictions in.
I see.
Well, I see I'm not allowing it.
What I'm going to do is put it down to what I like about the Chargers.
My prediction, Art, is that 2007 will be a year of many mega mergers.
And the automobile industry, the retail merchandising, and the communication business, I think there will be many things that will come together because of the bad year-end results of predicted sales for the last fiscal quarter.
All right, I got it.
Well, too bad for you, because I put down Chargers win Super Bowl.
Now, there is an absolute rule here that you can only make one prediction.
Trying to sneak two in isn't going to work.
In fact, actually, he almost hit three with a Walmart buying China.
I'm sure at a great discount rate, too.
All right, let's go to west of the Rockies.
Lynn in Washington, you're on the air.
Art, a quick question before my prediction.
Have you ever been a long-time listener to a talk show?
Oh, yes.
Oh, my goodness, yes.
For, like, years?
Yes.
Well, then you probably can remember that you begin to feel, if you have a person who is open like you are, an announcer, that you begin to feel very close to that person after a while.
They feel like your family.
I guess that happens.
I don't know how not to be open.
Well, that's why everyone is saying that they're so glad to have you home, because it's like having your family come home from far away.
Aw, thank you.
You're welcome.
My prediction is that this coming year, the phrase, War on Terror, is going to be very quietly retired.
Really?
Yes.
Alright, I've got it officially recorded.
That actually could happen.
In a lot of ways, the fact that we have apparently succeeded in stopping any other major attack after 9-11 is almost a worrisome thing for the war on terror and for the government itself.
Our alertness about all of this is going to begin to fade if it has not already begun to do so.
And I really honestly attribute this to the fact that our agencies have stopped one hell of a lot of stuff that's been what otherwise have occurred.
And that's not to say that something will not happen because I fear it will.
I just think that as more and more time goes on, well, we all have pretty short memories.
I'll just leave it at that.
Wildcard Line, Patton in Texas, you're on the air.
My prediction is that Al-Qaeda will next strike a Carnival cruise ship in the Caribbean, and they will be Venezuelan agents of Al-Qaeda.
Okay, Al-Qaeda hits a cruise ship, and you think it'll be... And you're even predicting the one, huh?
Yes, it will go after a low-level cruise ship like Carnival.
All right.
Thank you very, very much for the prediction.
It is number 48.
And if I hurry, we're going to make 50 or better.
And I've got that one down.
Boy, oh boy.
That is a distinct possibility.
I think that cruise lines, not just Carnival, but all of them are pretty much on the alert for a possible problem.
They would, I suppose, be considered relatively soft targets compared to something in the continental U.S.
Alright, let me look at times here and go to the International Line and Pamela in Ontario.
Hi Art.
Hi.
I wish you all the blessings for you, your wife and your little one for the new year.
Thank you.
And my prediction is I had a dream a while back about an earthquake and in the dream I was getting off an airplane and an earthquake struck the minute my feet touched the ground.
And I could tell, I was very, very sure that in the dream I was at the Los Angeles International Airport.
And so after that dream I prayed because I wanted to know the date so if it was really real I could help people and warn them and I got the date March 7, 2007.
Oh my!
And how, if I might ask, how did you get the date?
I read scripture, and there's a couple of scriptures in the Book of Amos.
Amos 1-1 and Amos 8-8.
For anybody that studies the Bible, they can look up those two, and it does relate to an earthquake.
But besides that, I have a tendency to, when I'm looking for something in the Bible, I'll open the book up right to something I'm looking for.
It happens to me all the time.
It's like a gift or something.
And I open the page to to 377, which in my book was a King James and it was the
book of Proverbs. And I get a good feeling when I know I'm right about something. And I prayed and
prayed and I kept getting the same thing. So 377. Got it.
All right.
It is now officially recorded as prediction number 49.
And let's see if any other poor people have been waiting.
Not that long, but let's go to Craig in Idaho.
Craig, you're on the air.
Good morning, I should say.
Yes.
My prediction is that the United States will actually officially announce a trade union
with Canada and Mexico, making a North American trade group, and that the U.S. dollar will
become the basis of a currency for all three nations.
Well, you know what?
We're eventually probably going to be forced into doing something like that.
The rest of the world seems to be getting together in their hemispheres, and I think we're going to have to too.
I know there's been some rumors that it's been going on in the background, but I think they'll actually come out and announce it as official.
It honestly wouldn't surprise me.
We've got to remain competitive, and in order to do that, we've got to be as big as the other guy.
Absolutely.
All right, I appreciate it, thank you very much.
And we'll see what happens, but I think we are inevitably headed in that direction.
Let's see, let's go to the east of the Rockies line and France and North Carolina.
Hi Art, good to have you back in the States.
Thank you.
My prediction is, do you remember when they found Jeffrey Dahmer and found all those bodies in his apartment?
I believe that there's going to be another major serial killer that will be found somewhere in the U.S.
with a lot of dead bodies either in or on his property.
We sure get an awful lot of TV shows about serial killers.
I wonder how many serial killers there are compared to how many TV shows about them there are?
I don't know, but you know this is a big country and there's still a lot of places that people can just sort of You know, hide out of the limelight.
But I think this is going to be the year that another one's going to be found with bodies hidden on and around the property, his property.
It's the one thing, I so cannot understand the serial killer thing.
And cannibalism, my God.
Yeah.
Anyway.
All right.
I've recorded it reluctantly as number 51.
I hope it doesn't come true.
Me too.
Take care.
You too.
Right.
Let's see if we can fit one more in.
John in Bonny Lake, Washington.
You're on the air.
Hi Art.
My prediction is due to a dream and to just like an inner ear hearing, like a spiritual inner ear hearing.
That this year, you know, 2007, our troops in the Mideast are going to be put upon by a huge surprise attack and that there's an aircraft carrier and its units that are going to be obliterated by something that's called a Sunbird missile that the Iranians have.
Wow.
And it's going to be a surprise attack.
Okay.
And it'll be soon.
You are, I think, the second person to mention the sunburst missile thing.
Yeah, well, when I saw the vision, I actually saw what looked like the sun come down to the water and everything that was on the water and the aircraft carrier and all of its different destroyers and subs and so on were all just obliterated.
And that this was going to be the beginning of a limited nuclear war.
People every year predict nuclear something or another, and thank God it has not happened yet.
Yes, sir.
I'm very happy it hasn't, too.
All right.
I very much appreciate your prediction, and thank you, and good night.
You too, sir.
All right, I'll tell you what, everybody, we're going to hold it right there, I think, and say it has been quite a night.
Actually, I'm very impressed by the quality of the predictions that we've received tonight.
Now, if you didn't get your prediction in, do not fret.
For tomorrow night, we'll do it again.
It's been a pleasure, and there is Crystal Gale singing that magical song about this magical place.
I'm Art Bell.
