Time	Text
	From the high desert and the great American Southwest, I bid you good evening, good morning, good afternoon, whatever the case may be, as the New Year rushes across the continent.
	A couple of hours away, here on the West Coast, about a million people, one million people, jammed Times Square and whooped it up and brought in 2007.
	No, I suppose it's just past the Midwest and headed toward the mountain states.
	That's the good news.
	The bad news, 3,000 dead in Iraq so far.
	That makes the number of Americans who have died in the Iraq war...
	3,000 now.
	That's in 46 months, folks.
	Saddam buried in the village of his birth, or if you're a conspiracy buff, running around in South America somewhere, I suppose.
	Hamas cites progress in prisoner talks.
	Believe that when you see it.
	Stream of visitors, of course, paying respect to the late President Ford.
	It seems as though a fleet of small planes is required to canvas snow-covered roads in Colorado today, looking for people stranded after a powerful, yet another powerful storm, piled up to 10-foot high drifts.
	Can you imagine that?
	I'm sure you saw the pictures of the The big rigs stuck on I-40.
	What a mess that must have been.
	And that's about it.
	That's all I care to give you in the way of world news.
	What we're going to do tonight, I would like to welcome you to Predictions by You, 2007, Part 2.
	Now, here's the way it works.
	In case you missed last night's program, There are a few rules.
	Only one prediction per customer.
	In fact, tonight I'm going to get very strict.
	Anybody trying to slip in a second prediction will have their first prediction cancelled.
	Okay?
	That's strict.
	One prediction per customer.
	That's one.
	Two is only on-air predictions are recorded.
	Now I know you will send them On Fast Blast, you will send them on email.
	You will throw them into my driveway.
	Whatever they are, they will not be recorded unless they're actually here on the air.
	That way there's no hanky-panky going on, because we all get to record them.
	They're a matter of very, very public record.
	And maybe if you get a hit, the whole world knows about it.
	Now, just one more thing, please.
	Only Only predictions from your very psychic center.
	No hopes.
	No political aspirations.
	Just physical, psychic, centered.
	I sat here and it came to me, Art, and here's what's going to happen in 2007.
	Now, if you want to talk about a fleet of UFOs landing, that's fine.
	We get it every year.
	But it's likely to be a bonk.
	Now I'll tell you what, last year was not good.
	I mean, we're going to go through, I'm going to go through some more right now.
	Just to give you an idea.
	Okay?
	Then we'll take a break and we'll start doing 2007 again.
	Alright, here's a few examples.
	51.
	Number 51 last year.
	DJ from Chicago.
	Ageism, he said.
	A new youth rights movement gains traction.
	I'm going to be really generous, and I'm going to give that a ding.
	I'm going to say ding, ding, ding to that, because I can't to many others.
	52.
	Mark from Washington.
	Hezbollah fires dirty bomb into Israel.
	Ank, caller from Quebec, number 53.
	A nuclear accident or event causes toxic winds to blow across southern China.
	Now, if I get any of these wrong, feel free to get me.
	54.
	Major earthquake in New York at the mouth of the St.
	Lawrence River.
	I believe that would be a bonk.
	55.
	Derek from Alberta.
	A new Pope will be John Paul II.
	He wasn't dead after all.
	Well, that really is a bonk.
	56.
	Rob from Arkansas said solar activity will be world news.
	Ding, ding, ding!
	Thank God.
	Here's a ding.
	Congratulations, Rob.
	It certainly has been news.
	57, Dan from Florida.
	A weather cataclysm, bird flu, and global war.
	Well, we've had a few weather cataclysms, certainly in Southeast Asia.
	No question about that.
	Bird flu?
	Kind of in hiatus.
	Global war?
	No.
	We're going to call that a bonk.
	58, Bruce in California.
	Collapse of the Democratic Party is imminent.
	Well, that sounds like one of those hopeful things from Bruce in California.
	And looking at the midterm elections, I would say Bonk.
	59.
	Peter from Michigan.
	Some harbor somewhere will be attacked.
	Were there any harbors attacked?
	I don't think so.
	Tentative Bonk.
	60, Paul from Arizona.
	America will enter civil war in November of 2006.
	Unless I missed it, that's a big bonk.
	61, would be Willow from Manitoba.
	Space technology will give us a medical breakthrough at the cellular level.
	Hmm, that's tough.
	We have had some medical breakthroughs.
	I'm not sure what to do.
	I don't think it was space technology though.
	I'm going to bonk that.
	62.
	Mark from Texas.
	Discovery of large vessel in the Bermuda Triangle.
	Bonk.
	63.
	Jane from Colorado said, an earthquake around the New Madrid Fault causes levees to break.
	Massive flooding in the Mississippi River area.
	Bonk.
	You're getting the idea, right?
	Okay.
	We'll stop there and after the break we will come back and we will proceed with hopefully what will be a record year.
	Now all of this is dependent on all of you doing your very best.
	Just don't call to call.
	Really, really, really reach into your psychic center and try and get me something that's really going to happen in 2007.
	We will be right back.
	All right, here we go.
	We will resume official recorded numbered predictions at number 53.
	First time caller line, it's Nancy in Las Vegas.
	Welcome!
	Hi Art, I'm glad you're back.
	Thank you.
	Hi, my prediction for 2007 is that winter hasn't arrived yet and that it's going to really snow really hard and then it's going to melt really fast and so there's going to be a lot of flooding and so like The satellites will be able to pick it up and it'll look like the whole midsection of the United States looks like one big lake.
	All right, now let's get this straight.
	You're calling from Las Vegas, right?
	Right.
	Just over the hill from me.
	You're not predicting that for us, are you?
	No, but the thought has run across my mind that it could flood here too.
	But I'm going to say it's going to be in the Midwest.
	Snow followed by flooding.
	How did this come to you?
	How did this come to me?
	I'm pretty psychic.
	lights will be able to pick it up and it'll be shown around the world look
	like the whole mid part of the United States looks like one big lake.
	How did this come to you? How did this come to me? I'm pretty psychic. I tell my family all
	kinds of stuff and they sit and laugh at me. I don't laugh at these things.
	In fact, I wanted to ask because I'm really hoping that the majority of the audience tonight does dig down into their psychic center to give us these predictions.
	And if they do, we're going to do really well.
	Yes, I hope everybody really psychs into it.
	I have a lot of predictions, but I can only say one, so that's mine.
	That's it.
	Just give us your best shot.
	Alright, dear.
	Thank you.
	Take care.
	Oh, sorry, I didn't mean to cut you off.
	Listen, just one more item before I progress.
	There is a picture for the New Year up there right now.
	That is my...
	My little souvenir.
	That's actually a picture of myself and Erin.
	You'll recognize the background as my office, my little broadcast area here in Nevada.
	And so there you have it, folks.
	I called her my little souvenir.
	Last night, just joking, and she said, no, I'm not a souvenir.
	That's like a take-home.
	And I said, well, what did I just do?
	I just brought you home, right?
	She said, no, I'm not a souvenir.
	And she isn't indeed.
	Although, she's more than I deserve.
	She's really a sweetheart.
	That's Erin.
	And actually, strictly, her name is A-I-R-Y-N, for those of you who might be wondering about that.
	And again, the way she got that name is it was supposed to be Irene, with the traditional spelling of Irene, and most Filipinos have Americanized first names.
	However, the German priest who baptized her changed the spelling of Irene to A-I-R-Y-N, which would be sort of the German spelling, I guess, of Irene.
	And I look at it, even other Filipinos look at it, and say, Aaron.
	So I sort of nicknamed her Aaron and she likes it and so that's what I call her.
	And there she is in her little Eskimo outfit.
	Even 70 degrees, keeping the house at 70 or 72, Is still cold for her.
	Now, she doesn't normally wear that around the house, but I told you, I think I mentioned the other night that she, she was, she got this really cute little Eskimo outfit.
	We had seen a movie called Snow Walker.
	If you get an opportunity, I actually ballyhooed that movie the night we watched.
	I think I told you about it when I was in the Philippines.
	And if you get a chance, see it.
	It's a remarkable movie.
	And the little Eskimo gal in Snow Walker, at one point, this little gal and a fella had crashed in an airplane.
	It's one of those survival movies.
	It was a wonderful one, by the way.
	Snow Walker.
	Don't forget it.
	It's an older movie and she was referring to a little animal that they could catch and eat to stay alive and she just kind of took two fingers along the ground and went like that to demonstrate it and that just tickled Aaron to death and so that's kind of a private little joke between us Eskimo.
	West of the Rockies, Ryan in Malibu, California, you are on the air.
	Welcome back to the states.
	It's good to be here.
	Let's see, it dawns on me that Hillary Clinton will make Bill Clinton her vice presidential candidate.
	Could she really do that?
	I believe she can.
	He would not be running for president.
	Yeah, but wouldn't that make so many people angry?
	Of course, but probably it might well not quite fall up to 50.
	Now, you know, is this a political fear?
	Not at all.
	Are you truly reaching into your psychic center, or is it sort of like a horror show in your mind?
	No.
	It is definitely a matter of a first in U.S.
	history.
	And it is most definitely a psychic.
	Well, it's quite a thought.
	Alright, thank you very, very much, and it is now officially recorded.
	You imagine that, Hillary, you have to admit it's possible she could be elected and then turn around and make Bill Clinton the Vice President.
	So he would have been then President and Vice President?
	That would make a very strange, perhaps even disturbing kind of U.S.
	history and I hate to admit that sort of constitutional ignorance but I I don't think there would be any prohibition, technically, constitutionally, against her doing that.
	Would there?
	Would be a horror show, though.
	Wildcardline, you're on the air from Fresno.
	Hello.
	Hi, Art.
	I don't get to visit your area very much, just on conventions and stuff, so you don't have much time to see the area, but I recently did, and I'm sure your wife will enjoy the countryside around there.
	Oh, there are so many beautiful areas to show her here, but she has gone now from, you know, the tropics, and I mean serious tropics, down near the equator where everything is green, to the opposite side of the world in the middle of our desert.
	Now that's quite a change.
	It's very cold over your way, isn't it?
	It has been.
	Well, the day we arrived, the winds were doing 55 and 60 miles an hour.
	The temperature was in the 20s.
	Try and imagine that as your first day greeting in the U.S.
	Well, get the hard stuff over with and then everything is downhill from there.
	Well, in fact, it has been, or more likely uphill as the temperatures have been hitting about 60 degrees or so during the day now.
	So it's much better.
	Still nice over there.
	I like the Valley of Fire especially.
	We got to ride bicycles through there and really like that area.
	Oh, I have so much to show her.
	Do you have a prediction for me?
	Yes, that the country of India will sign an agreement to administer Iraq for the next six years with options for more years.
	Really?
	Yes.
	How did this come to you?
	Well, they've ruled that, administered that country before the years leading up to World War I, you know, under the British Empire, you know, the colony type thing.
	They were the, they were called the Government of India.
	You know, it wouldn't be such a bad way for us to get out of the whole thing, would it?
	They have ruled it before.
	They administered the area.
	I mean, they installed the rupee as the currency in the whole general area, including Arabia and Kuwait, you know, before they started getting money from the oil.
	They were very, very poor, you know, people in that Arabian Peninsula.
	And so when they ruled Iraq for a few years, they They were essentially ruling the whole area and they rolled it with the rupee and everybody was making money and actually everybody was kind of happy there for a while.
	Officially recorded as prediction number 55.
	55. Okay. Sir?
	John?
	Yes.
	Okay.
	Okay, thanks a lot.
	I appreciate it and I'm sure you guys will enjoy all the area.
	Well, yes, thank you very much, and that's exactly what I'm going to do.
	I mean, there are wonders of the world to show, Aaron.
	The Grand Canyon, for example.
	Boulder Dam.
	Las Vegas itself, I have not yet, other than, you know, coming in at the airport and driving at night, she didn't get to see much of Las Vegas, so she hasn't seen that yet.
	And of course, I've had to be here on the air, so she's not seen a whole lot.
	She's just sort of been adjusting and sleeping, and as you know, we both have a cold.
	You can probably hear the cold in my voice.
	It is not possible to take plane flights of the magnitude that I've been taking and not get a cold.
	That's what I figured out.
	Not possible.
	East of the Rockies, Michael, I believe in Boonesboro, Maryland.
	You're on the air.
	Listen to you on 630 WMAL.
	Yes, sir.
	Okay.
	It's going to be revealed that the E. coli outbreaks linked with various vegetable produces in the United States are actually terrorist attacks.
	Oh.
	And this has been going on on a major cruise line a few years ago.
	They kind of ramped it up there and they're bringing it now into the United States.
	Oh my God.
	I never thought of that.
	There were so many problems on cruise lines.
	Yep.
	And I began to wonder about that myself.
	So you're telling me that was terrorism, and it was just sort of an experimental, let's see if we can get it going deal, huh?
	That's correct.
	Gosh, that sounds frighteningly logical.
	I hope you're wrong.
	It is prediction number 56.
	Thank you.
	Yes, thank you, I think.
	That sounds too possible, doesn't it?
	Didn't some of you wonder, I certainly did, about the number of attacks strangely hitting Y cruise lines?
	I mean, all of our cruise lines are... I've been on about five or six cruises in my life.
	They are exceptionally clean.
	They run a very tight ship, sorry about that.
	I mean, they really are wonderfully clean.
	I love cruises.
	And I was not able, nor am I now, to understand why E. coli outbreaks were limited to these cruise lines for a while.
	It was pretty weird.
	Let's go to a wild card line.
	Dan in Florida.
	Hi Art.
	Hi.
	Hey, it's an honor to talk to you again.
	I called you a couple years ago on the Prediction Show and I don't know, it's just something special I guess.
	Did you get a hit?
	Not that time, no.
	Kind of a crazy prediction last time, but I'm hoping this one will be a ding-ding next year.
	All right, 57 it shall be.
	Yeah, I predict that in the next year there will be some kind of a major advancement in teleportation technology.
	Oh, that's quite a leap.
	Yeah, I'm not sure if it's You know, what the extent of it will be, but I'm thinking, you know, definitely, you know, moving something from one building to another.
	And so you're thinking it would actually be a something, not necessarily a person, but just something?
	Yeah, just something.
	I don't know if it'd necessarily be a living thing or an inanimate object, but Don't you think if they begin to get it right, the airlines are going to buy it up and put it on the shelf with a carburetor that gets 100 miles per gallon?
	Well, it's possible.
	You know, they said they had a light bulb that would never burn out and they shelved that.
	I'm sure they did.
	All right, buddy.
	It's recorded as number 57.
	Here to there, like that.
	I'm Art Bell.
	All from the minds of my listeners.
	This is so interesting.
	Joe from LaGrange, Kentucky fast-blasts that Bill cannot serve as Vice President since he's served two terms as President.
	In other words, if something would happen to Hillary, he could not succeed her.
	Joe, you're right.
	But that doesn't... there's still no strict constitutional prohibition, right?
	In other words, if something happened to Hillary... Now, here's a... here's Fright Night for you.
	It would make Nancy Pelosi president.
	I think.
	I'm not a constitutional expert, but...
	I don't think there's a prohibition on it.
	Alright folks, we're doing predictions for 2007.
	I'm Art Bell.
	We'll be right back.
	2006 was just a terrible year for your predictions.
	Number 64.
	Castro dies in 2006.
	His successor allies with Mexico.
	Bonk.
	65.
	Chad from Washington Virgin will have joint venture with NASA to dock with the International Space Station.
	Bonk. 66.
	Donna from Arizona.
	In 2006, President Bush will be hurt, not killed, just hurt.
	Now, I'm going to put a bonk question mark there because there may have been some incident.
	I don't recall where he fell down or something.
	67.
	Donald from Washington.
	Astronomers, he said, will find two bodies, each 50 times larger than Earth beyond Pluto.
	Bizarre elliptical orbits explain why they had remained undiscovered.
	Bonk.
	68.
	Disaster will strike the Mars Recon Orbiter Bonk.
	69.
	NASA implements ET technology in new spacecraft.
	As far as I know, that's a big bonk.
	70.
	Catherine from California said that Condi Rice is expecting a baby.
	Father is a major figure in the current administration.
	It's not who you think.
	And as far as I know, she has not begun to show, so we'll have to bonk that.
	71.
	Aaron from California.
	will travel to Jerusalem I think I don't know about that one
	Jerusalem.
	I don't think he did.
	I think that's a bonk.
	72.
	Israel will launch a bombing attack of unprecedented magnitude against the West Bank.
	Well, I think that's a ding.
	A ding ding, ding ding.
	A lonely little ding amongst the bonks.
	73, a caller from Massachusetts says, restrictions to be imposed on the Internet.
	New World Order seeks tighter information control.
	Uh, that's really a bonk.
	The internet's still cooking along.
	74, Ray from Texas.
	Bird flu will become a major epidemic in late November of 2006.
	Thank God, that's a bonk.
	75, Blair from Arizona.
	Haha, Blair.
	Mass communication outages.
	Communication satellites will disappear.
	Thank goodness, that's a bonk.
	76.
	Sue from Ohio.
	Natural disaster or civil uprising prompts the UN to assert control in the United States.
	Yikes.
	That's a bonk.
	Alright, back to predictions for 2007.
	Think hard about what you're going to say, folks.
	Wildcard Line, Mark in Pennsylvania, you're on the air.
	Happy New Year, Art.
	And to you as well.
	Always great to ring in the New Year with Coast to Coast.
	Yes, sir.
	I hate to break the doom and gloom procession, but I actually have a rare positive prediction.
	That will be rare.
	I've had a feeling, a sense, that something musical will unite the people of many nations in the world in 2007.
	Really?
	Yeah, it could be something as simple as an update of We Are the World, which 22 years ago brought a lot of people together to feed the hungry, or raising the stakes just a bit It could be interstellar sound waves.
	Some kind of musical notes that gives us collective reason to believe that there's life beyond Earth and gives us all a cause to unite.
	If only for a moment to realize that we get along better together than warring with one another.
	Well, music could well be the way we communicate with an ET.
	Life form of some sort.
	You know, it's universal.
	Yeah, you have so many languages in the world, and it divides us, but music is a unifying language for all of us.
	It's mathematical.
	It's absolutely universal.
	So that's a pretty cool prediction.
	Thank you.
	My pleasure.
	All right, take care.
	That, by the way, is recorded as number 58.
	Wild Card Line in Michigan, this would be Les.
	Well, good evening, Garth.
	I was just sitting here trying to figure out if I've actually been listening to you for 20 years, and I think it might be that long.
	Thanks for recollecting that, Les.
	Well, it's getting better and better every year, so it's good.
	Now, the prediction that was just made will be fulfilled, and if you listen to George's program tomorrow night, you'll find out how.
	If you had accepted the prediction I made last year between number 85 and 86, I had predicted that I would call in tonight to reveal to you and the rest of the world the identity of the Antichrist.
	But you didn't accept it because you said it wasn't fair for me to predict what I was going to do.
	But so then I called George the next night and set things in motion.
	I still maintain that position now.
	I can understand it.
	I can understand.
	But that's not what I'm going to do tonight.
	I'm going to I'm going to predict that you will realize your true calling in life.
	During the month of April into May.
	And this will happen as the events that I will give to George tomorrow night are fulfilled.
	And it'll be three very distinct events.
	Nothing subjective.
	Three very distinct events in the lives of three very prominent people.
	How do you know you're going to get through to George tomorrow night?
	How did I know I was going to get through to you tonight?
	If I could describe to you the synchronicity with which my life has been guided for the last two months, you'd be sitting there as amazed as I am, but... Well, unless you can tell me what my true destiny is, then I have nothing to write down.
	Oh, okay.
	Yeah, I guess that makes sense.
	You're going to lead a movement to help the human race realize that there is no necessity for abortion.
	And that if we don't come to that realization, humanity is going to destroy itself.
	We have come to a time now where, in the last 40 years here in the United States, we have murdered more children than all of the casualties of World War II.
	All right.
	I will accept and write down that art helps kill abortion.
	I'm absolutely anti-abortion.
	But, and I'll tell you why.
	I had an opportunity, I think I mentioned to you that in the first trimester, Erin is now in her second trimester, in the first trimester After only, let me see if I can get it right, I think that it was 10 weeks.
	At 10 weeks, Aaron had an ultrasound and it was the most remarkable thing that I've ever seen in my whole life.
	I was allowed to go in and I just sat there and I looked at the screen and the very wonderful Philippine doctor that we had Pointed at the screen and unmistakably you could see this quick little heart beating.
	That's a poor imitation of a heart beating.
	It was really only a light to be honest with you.
	Blinking very quick.
	And that was the baby's heart beating.
	And that was only a few weeks.
	Now, excuse me, but that's life.
	I just, I don't see how you can argue that's not life.
	If we hold life sacred in this country, and we do, then how can we excuse abortion?
	And this was only a few weeks, folks.
	You know, the baby's got a heart.
	It's alive.
	It's beating.
	It's going to be everything it's going to be.
	All the genetics are in place.
	Perhaps not all organs are formed to maturity and so forth and so on, but unmistakably, it's life.
	That's all I'll say about that, but I was absolutely astounded.
	Let us go to the, well, let's see, west of the Rockies, I guess.
	That would be Charlie in Ogden, Utah.
	Hi, how are you doing, Art?
	I'm just fine.
	Good, good.
	Glad to have you home.
	Um, my prediction is that you're going to see more gun control, uh, because the Democrats have taken both sides of the House.
	That's, that's what I'm putting in.
	More gun control?
	Yes.
	Uh, you don't for one second, though, think that, uh, uh, President Bush would, uh, would sign on, do you?
	Uh, you know... Well, you should have said...
	And I'll give you an opportunity to revise this.
	You could say more attempts at gun control.
	Okay.
	I'll agree with that.
	Oh, you will?
	Okay.
	Well, I don't want to make your prediction for you, but I mean, that's correct.
	That's what'll happen.
	Well, what it is is that I saw what happened when Clinton was in, and I saw the sunset clause of the weapons ban and whatnot.
	And so what I'm thinking is going to happen is that that's going to be reinstituted without a sunset clause this time.
	That's my opinion.
	All right.
	A good prediction.
	It is number 60.
	Alright, thank you.
	I think with the Democrats in control of the House and Senate, hanging on by a nail, that there will be more attempts at gun control.
	While President Bush is there, I doubt very much that he would sign them, but they're going to try.
	You know they're going to try.
	Wildcard line number four.
	Tommy in Seattle, your turn.
	Hello Art.
	Howdy.
	My prediction is, in the last quarter of the year, George Bush, in an effort to improve his historical image for posterity, will announce that the International Space Station is our first orbiting interstellar embassy.
	That's interesting.
	But see, embassies Have to be ambassadors to something?
	Well, it'll be the place where alien life can come without having their little flying saucers confiscated, their bodies bisected, or just scaring the daylights out of everybody on Earth.
	Alright, so in other words, they are ambassadors to life that would be approaching Earth.
	Right.
	I've got it, and it's number 61.
	And that's something the President could do, and it wouldn't cost a penny.
	And certainly not the billions, hundreds of billions of dollars that the ISS is costing.
	You simply appoint the ISS.
	Pretty good idea, President Bush.
	Wouldn't cost a penny.
	Be great PR as an embassy to the beyond.
	I like it.
	All right, first time, correction, west of the Rockies, somehow, quickly, I punched that line, you're on the air.
	Yes, Art, I'd like to make a prediction if I may.
	You may.
	And that would be that by November of next year, President Bush's ratings will be at least 55% approval, due to, directly due to, some policies, some things that'll happen in Iraq and Iran in that area.
	Name something that could happen, wait a minute, Bush ratings 55% by when?
	November?
	November.
	Okay, what could possibly happen that would do that?
	I don't know if it would be the capture of Bin Laden or something in that area will occur that will be a positive that will either show that he was taking a good course for much of the time, I mean mistakes were made of course, but something will happen along that line.
	I would certainly agree that some better outcome, some good outcome in Iraq could cause the President's ratings to significantly go up.
	After all, if Iraq did become some form of democracy, or at least was settled in some way, and the U.S.
	was then able to maintain bases in Iraq and stabilize the Mideast, I do think that the president would do well, but that's quite a feat the way things are looking right now.
	First time caller line, Anthony in Alpine, California.
	You're on the air.
	Anthony, going once, going twice, gone.
	I hate to see somebody wait and then not get on the air.
	Wild card line, Mel, Flint, Michigan.
	You're on the air.
	Yeah, Art.
	Glad to have you back.
	Oh, I think it's very imminent, and so I'm going to drop a dime on it for this year.
	I think they may start rebuilding Solomon's Temple in Jerusalem.
	Oh, really?
	I think it's imminent.
	Oh, what makes you believe that?
	Well, for one thing, it's predicted in the Scriptures.
	Of course.
	And with the Mayan calendar thing and with the increase of earthquakes and all these catastrophes, I think it's all tying together.
	I think it's the time.
	All right.
	So this is a psychic prediction or is it sort of a religious wish?
	Intuitive.
	All right.
	I'll accept intuitive.
	That's part of the psychic world.
	No question about it.
	All right, my friend.
	Officially recorded as number 63.
	Now, if you got a hit like that, we'd have to have you on for a whole lot more.
	I've got a whole lot more.
	I'm sure you do.
	Thank you very much.
	Yes, thank God.
	Right.
	Take care.
	All right.
	All the way east of the Rockies now to Tim in Arkansas.
	Hello, Art.
	Happy New Year.
	Thank you.
	Art, I've got to tell you, this is kind of weird for me.
	I'm not a psychic as far as telling the future or mind reading or You know, talking to the dear departed or anything, my abilities are kind of hard to explain because they deal with predicting motion in other people.
	It's very instinctual.
	Motion in other people?
	What do you mean?
	Like, I can walk through a crowd and not hit a single person because I know how the people around me are moving.
	Same thing goes with traffic.
	I know when someone's going to pull out of a driveway or change lanes.
	It's so instinctual, I thought it was natural until I was in my mid-twenties when I realized that not everyone had this ability.
	It's a psychic ability.
	Yeah, it seems to be.
	So whatever, what would be your prediction?
	Well, I told you that to let you know.
	So when I get a premonition about something happening in the future, I get really unnerved because I'm not normally not part of my ability.
	But here's my prediction.
	There is a supercollider being built in France.
	It's called CERN.
	C-E-R-N.
	You may have heard of it.
	Yeah.
	It's going to be operational in early 2007.
	This thing is designed to create nano black holes.
	And I know this because I woke up with a dream of the Earth being swallowed about three or four months ago, and I didn't know what was going on.
	And so I did some research and gradually found more information, more information, and it led me to learning about this supercollider.
	And I think that's what I saw.
	I don't think the Earth is going to be swallowed in 2007, but the chain... I know that's what I just wrote down.
	I wrote down, CERN black hole swallows Earth.
	Well, you can.
	I mean, I don't think it will happen in 2007, but I think the chain of events to create it will start in 2007.
	Hmm.
	Well, if, you know, they're saying that a small black hole, a miniature black hole, would be benign, that it would disappear virtually instantly, not swallowing anything at all.
	Now, of course, there's always a margin for error.
	It could be they would create a black hole and it would absorb everything.
	That would be horrible.
	Right, because the worst case scenario, I mean a pretty big margin for error, the worst case scenario has the Earth being swallowed in about 11 minutes.
	Really?
	That's kind of scary.
	That'll wake you up.
	Well, I do worry a bit about science and, you know, when the scientist has done all his work and he's poised over the button, we all know he's going to push it.
	You know, if there's a moment's hesitation where he thinks, you know, hmm, could this black hole swallow Earth?
	Nah.
	Pushes the button.
	That really falls into the oops scenario.
	Uh, it absolutely does, yes.
	Okay, well I surely do hope you're wrong, but I did write that down and I'd rather not erase it, so I'm leaving CERN Black Hole Swallows Earth.
	That'll work.
	Number 64, and I thank you for your call.
	Thank you, Art.
	Take care.
	Be a terrible way to go, wouldn't it?
	Especially if it's about 11 minutes, you know?
	The Earth just sort of collapses inward to this black hole that then sort of wanders aimlessly around the universe.
	What a cheery note.
	I'm Art Bell.
	The official, the only official recorded numbered predictions made by you for the year 2007.
	We do it two nights only, annually, and this is the second night of those predictions.
	So if you can dig deep into your psychic center and you've got something that'll really cook.
	Black hole's swallowing us.
	I don't like that one, but I'll take it.
	Anything you think is going to happen in 2007 that you really psychically believe is going to occur, grab the phone and get it recorded right in front of the whole world.
	I'm Art Bell, and in a moment, Coast to Coast AM continues.
	Back to biz, and it's with Catherine in Northern California.
	Your turn.
	Hi, are you talking to me?
	You're Catherine, Northern California, right?
	Yes, I am.
	Okay, that's you.
	Yes, I have a prediction for 2007.
	I predict that one of the U.S.
	Supreme Court justices will resign in shame owing to a personal scandal, a shocking scandal that comes out and becomes public knowledge this year.
	Okay.
	That's it.
	Actually, I guess I shouldn't ask.
	What?
	Know who it is?
	What it would be.
	No, I don't want to know who.
	I don't know who it is, and I don't know what it would be either, and I know shockingly little about the U.S.
	Supreme Court Justices, too.
	Okay, then I'll ask this.
	How did it come to you?
	I was trying to think of a prediction.
	I was just doing like you said, you know, going into my inner self and trying to come up with a prediction for next year, and I came up with all these weird ones, but finally this one seemed like something that actually could happen.
	It came to me yesterday morning, and it took me this long to get through to you.
	Well, bless your heart for the effort, and as a result of it, it is now number 65.
	Great.
	Well, thank you.
	Happy New Year.
	You're very welcome, and Happy New Year to you.
	There.
	It's not 11-11 anymore.
	It's now just 11-12.
	I just happened to look up, and it was 11-11.
	I thought, hmm.
	That'll bring some emails.
	The New Year is now racing toward the U.S.
	West Coast, and And it's going to be interesting to see yet another year arrive, and I'm hoping...
	Well, it has a lot of promise, of course, for me.
	Even at my age, I've got a youngster on the way.
	Actually, I've got one as a wife, and then I've got a youngster on the way.
	And that would certainly be a great joy for me.
	I just can't tell you it would be a gigantic joy.
	And, you know, I can start to feel the baby now.
	It's just beginning to protrude a little bit and show itself as a baby.
	It's pretty exciting stuff.
	Anyway, onward.
	Let's go to west of the Rockies, I guess, and in New Mexico.
	Good morning.
	Hi, Art.
	Hi there.
	I'm so happy for you.
	Well, thank you.
	For cold, lots of garlic and olive oil and cayenne.
	Boy, this last year has been the year of colds for me, I'll tell you what.
	That's what I take every day, a couple of teaspoons over potatoes and toast.
	I know there are people who swear by it, the hotter the better, right?
	Listen, may I sing this?
	Midnight in the desert, shooting stars across the sky.
	I generally, as a rule, don't allow singing.
	I know, but that captures the time, the place, the space with the art bell.
	Thank you.
	It does, of course, and Crystal Gale totally nailed it.
	I don't know how she did it, but she totally nailed it.
	Can I ask you a question?
	Sure.
	I'm revealing my ignorance, but what is the kingdom of Nye?
	It is Nye County, Nevada.
	And that's spelled N-Y-E.
	Nye County, Nevada.
	I have it spelled down here like that, but I'm going, science fiction?
	What?
	No.
	No, reality.
	Okay.
	Uh, now, your prediction.
	Yes, sir.
	Gold will break through 1,000.
	Oh, my God.
	Really?
	Ding, ding, ding.
	Uh, you know what?
	You could be right.
	And, uh, if you are, that's really bad news for the economy.
	Well, you may want to know why, but then I'd be going into another... No, no, go ahead.
	Oh, well, I don't want another prediction, but if you want to tell me why it's... Yes, I'll tell you why.
	Joe's 41.
	Leviathan is the sea monster.
	And, uh, you can look at it as a military monster.
	Reed's submarine.
	And that's going to start it.
	We have 80, Russia has 52, China has 69, Israel has 3, and Iran has 3.
	Oh, and by the way, North Korea has 88, up from 26 last year.
	What are we talking about here?
	I missed what we're talking about.
	Submarines.
	Oh, submarines, okay.
	And the source is the 2007 almanac, military balance.
	So this is going to be military action.
	Yes, and I think it's read Job 41, Leviathan, and just read Submarine.
	All right, got it.
	Oh my goodness, but I'm just so happy for you.
	Thank you.
	It would be a contrast, if this year is a good one, it certainly would be a contrast to this past year, and it was full of The biggest highs, the biggest lows, the absolute biggest lows a human being can experience, short of one, actually it's worse than one's own death.
	You know, to lose a lifelong partner, it's worse than death.
	It would be much easier to die yourself.
	And then to find love again and then to create life That's, and then everything else that went along with it, which entailed a move to the other side of the world.
	It was a hell of a year, that's all I can say.
	I don't know how yours was, but mine was, mine definitely rocked and rolled.
	Let's go to somebody calling themselves Agent X in Anchorage, Alaska.
	Good morning Art, and happy new year from the great land of Alaska.
	Thank you.
	Hey, I got a gut feeling that the researchers could be either the Mongolian or folks that are not Mongolian.
	The researchers are going to find the grave of Temüjin, the Great Khan, Genghis Khan, this year, coming up.
	Really?
	Yes.
	And I base that on, I've been fortunate, I'm a journalist, and I cover the military, and I was able to go with our military forces.
	Most people wouldn't realize it, but Alaska and Mongolia have a sister state relationship,
	and I was able to talk to many of their senior military folks and senior politicians.
	During the time of the Soviet occupation, which lasted up into almost 1995, because
	the Russians didn't even have the money to take their forces out of their Talent, the
	Soviets had kept the area where Genghis Khan's grave is thought to be, an area northeast
	of Ulaanbaatar, and that area is now open.
	I was actually allowed to go in there and go to one of their former air bases that was
	there.
	But there are all sorts of apocryphal tales that all the people in the burial party were
	killed when he was buried, and that they used herds of horses to sort of pound over the
	ground, and then soldiers were left there till the trees grew up around there.
	And those tales sort of seem to be apocryphal, but the Mongols oftentimes would leave these
	great treasures for the Khans in places that wouldn't be ransacked.
	So if they find his grave, will they find great treasure?
	Well, I think what we'll do is, it's the beginning of the resurgence of a Mongol Empire.
	Not one that's conquering, but the rise of the Mongol people to their right state.
	Because if you look at, you know, most people think that... Okay, again, let me ask again.
	Did they bury him with great treasure?
	Yes, they did.
	As far as everybody can tell, yes he was.
	There's different reasons as to why he died.
	He may have died falling off a horse, or during a hunt, or during an attack on the Western Xia Chinese.
	It's not known, but it is pretty much known that this area that was formerly kept secret under the Soviets, and even before that was kept as a restricted area amongst the Mongol people, the Trail of Crumbs is certainly leading to that area, and I think something's going to happen this year.
	Got it.
	And it's officially recorded as prediction number 67.
	To the fourth wildcard line, John in Wisconsin.
	You're on the air.
	Hi Art.
	How are you doing?
	Just fine.
	I actually have... I have to tell you a story before we start here.
	I was so excited to get on.
	I just fell down a flight of stairs.
	I hung up the phone.
	I had to call back.
	You fell down a flight of stairs?
	And my phone closed, and I lost my spot in line.
	I called about an hour ago.
	I couldn't believe it.
	All right, well then, careful when calling this program.
	Well, you can see how I can get so excited.
	I mean, it's a great program.
	Well, it is a very different kind of program.
	Now, the reason I'm calling here is I have a prediction here.
	I've had a reoccurring dream for the past three weeks, every night, that there will be cropped circle-like images Will appear on the White House lawn.
	That would be so cool.
	I don't understand it.
	I can't get it out of my dreams.
	I don't know what it is.
	Okay, I'm definitely recording this.
	Crop circles on White House lawn.
	I love it.
	South Lawn?
	What?
	Yeah, South Lawn, yeah.
	Really?
	South Lawn, okay.
	That would be very, very hard for the administration to explain in any way at all, unless they sort of said, we did it as a joke.
	Otherwise, there would be no way to explain it because there are very few places as carefully guarded as the White House, right?
	Yeah, I mean, there's no way to get on there.
	And there is video surveillance and all the rest of that.
	So, yeah, that'd be a good one.
	Boy, I hope you're right.
	All right.
	All right, that's number 68, and I don't know if it's worth falling down a flight of stairs, but I appreciate the effort.
	Hey, worth every stare.
	Take care.
	I don't know.
	Falling down a whole flight of stairs.
	East of the Rockies, it would be Ben in Portland, Maine.
	Hi, Ben.
	Hey Art, how you doing tonight?
	I'm just fine.
	I had a vision come to me the other day, and that vision is that the The U.S.
	government is going to become aware, and they're going to regulate and heavily tax all the millions of dollars that are traded hands every day in Internet gambling.
	Really?
	You know, I wonder, I've been wondering why Internet gambling is legal.
	Do you have any thoughts on that?
	I have no idea.
	In other words, gambling, for the most part, other than what, New Jersey, a few river boats on the Mississippi, and here in Nevada, is pretty much not legal.
	So, the Internet comes along, and now everybody, if they want to, can gamble, literally, on the Internet, and I don't... They've got to either do one of two things.
	They've got to outlaw it, or, as you point out, they would have to tax it.
	If you want a choice, they'd probably tax it.
	It's also easier to transfer large amounts of money to friends over the internet without anyone knowing.
	Absolutely.
	You know, as much of a control freak as our government is, I'm surprised they've let the internet go as far as they have without clamping down.
	Me too.
	All right, buddy.
	It's recorded.
	That is also a very, very interesting one.
	Now, you could go a little further and suggest they will begin taxing internet usage altogether, and I'm kind of surprised they haven't.
	I'm very pleased that they have not yet done that.
	It has allowed the internet to become a wonder of the world.
	Now, is that overstating what the internet is?
	I think it is approaching a wonder of the world.
	Really, honestly, I do.
	Let's consider what it's done.
	Remember the days of the encyclopedia salesman?
	Knocking on your door, saying, sir, this is for your son and daughter's education.
	You have absolutely got to have a set of encyclopedias.
	Now, you've got to be old enough to remember that, but you don't get that knock anymore.
	They don't sell encyclopedias because we've got the Internet.
	You can talk to anybody anywhere in the world.
	You can transfer information at the speed of light.
	You can video conference with, as Erin does, her family on the other side of the world, without any cost, going right past the phone companies.
	And phone companies can't provide a picture anyway.
	So the Internet is doing things that I think rise almost to a wonder of the world.
	That said, going west of the Rockies, Lila, I believe in California.
	Hi, my prediction is that Jimmy Carter will negotiate an amicable treaty with North Korea, and not necessarily with the United States, maybe with the UN.
	Okay.
	That's it.
	How did you come up with that?
	I don't know.
	I know that Jimmy Carter, he's done some pretty impressive negotiations in the past, and I just think it's going to be a big year for him.
	Maybe he can convince them to put down the nukes?
	To put down the nukes.
	All right, it is recorded.
	Thank you very much.
	Jimmy Carter negotiates a treaty with North Korea.
	The predictions we are getting this year are far better.
	Now, I don't know if they'll come true, but they're just sort of far better in character than the ones we had last year.
	We will review, I need to get through them, so we will review some more of the bonks coming up here after the break.
	Wildcard Line, Jason in North Minneapolis, you're on the air.
	Happy New Year!
	And you?
	My prediction is in a month and a half, the solar flare is going to hit the earth and the poles are going to shift.
	The magnetic force field of the earth is going to shift and people's minds aren't going to be, the weaker minds are going to be in trouble and the stronger minds, they'll be okay, but animals will be affected first.
	Odd behavior.
	Not going to be good.
	All right, so that would be in the month of February, a giant solar flare hits affecting life.
	Affecting the poles, the magnetic force field of the Earth.
	But that would also then affect biological life.
	Plants also, yeah.
	They won't be able to tell which way is north, and it'll confuse them, and it'll stress them out, and they'll die off also.
	Well, I think at this point we can expect almost anything from the sun.
	We're at the dead bottom of the solar cycle, and weird things are happening.
	Yes.
	All right, my friend, it is recorded as number 71.
	Thank you.
	Thank you, and have a good night.
	This is kind of a special time.
	It's not that often that, you know, regular people get, I mean, they bring plenty of psychics on the air.
	You're going to hear plenty of them in the next couple of weeks or so predicting this and that, but I have faith in all of you.
	I have faith in this audience.
	So many of you are tuned in beyond the normal The normal person.
	I mean, you have psychic abilities simply because you're interested in this sort of thing.
	So your mind is a little more open than the average.
	First time caller on the line, Matthew from Lexington, Kentucky.
	You're on the air.
	Wonderful to speak with you, sir.
	Happy New Year.
	And to you.
	Mine, I agree.
	The predictions this year have been just great.
	You're right.
	There's a lot of good character, especially with all the negativity that's been going on.
	Here are people really digging deep.
	Mine is not all that fantabulous, but I do believe it will become true, and that is a large earthquake somewhere in America, in an unlikely location, possibly secretive area, will occur to really wake people up to, you know, we have earthquakes from every so often that just really shakes people up, excuse the pun, and get them thinking about earthquakes and then subsequent flooding.
	And I'm originally from Western Kentucky, and a lot of people don't talk much about the New Madrid Fault, but it's way overdue.
	And then with a lot of the weather changes, animal behavior, and just from my little knowledge of the seismic activity that's been going on just in the last year and a half, I don't see how it can last much longer.
	But then I just feel like somewhere else in America that it's going to, not so much there, but somewhere else, it's going to really Just shake, rattle, and roll.
	You're not thinking necessarily the New Madrid, but in an unexpected area.
	Right, because what makes me try to explain it logically is the New Madrid, but that completely goes off my radar to think it's somewhere else.
	I actually thought this was going to occur more in the later part of 06, but you know, that didn't occur.
	Okay, well I now have it officially recorded, Matthew, and I thank you for the call.
	Thank you.
	All right, take care.
	We are doing recorded, numbered predictions, public predictions, so if you get it right, millions of people know it.
	30 minutes or so to the New Year here on the West Coast.
	I'm Art Bell.
	Here I am.
	Let me review a few more of the majorly bonked predictions for 2006, before the break.
	Randall from Alberta, this would be 77, said Benjamin Netanyahu becomes new Israeli leader, launches preemptive strike against nuclear facilities in Iran.
	Logical, but nevertheless a bonk.
	Janice from Illinois, two of our four living former presidents will die due to natural causes.
	A third will lapse into dementia.
	Close but a bonk.
	79, George from California.
	Al-Zakari will not be caught.
	Well, uh, bonk.
	Linda, battle will be fought on American soil.
	A big one?
	No, bonk.
	81, something cataclysmic happens in 2006, has to do with Turkey.
	The event culminates in the assassination of someone high in our government.
	Well, see, I wouldn't let her say who it was, so that's a bonk.
	Anyway, there were no big assassinations.
	82, Poland, Ohio, Atlanta, Georgia will rise to new prominence.
	I guess that's a bonk.
	I don't know that Atlanta has come into some giant new prominence.
	83.
	Patty from Nevada.
	Mexico will go to war with us over the border fence.
	Bonk.
	84.
	Caller from Toronto.
	Human race will discover their power within and become more ethical.
	The cause, none other than the caller's new book.
	85.
	Asteroid impact.
	Bonk.
	86.
	Bill from California said earthquakes in California's solar flares cause auroras in South America.
	Bonk.
	We did have them, but not down that far.
	87.
	A caller from Ohio.
	AMD will release a 6 gigahertz chip.
	I'm going to tentatively ding that.
	I think we are up to 6 gigahertz.
	But I'm not sure.
	I think we're there, so ding.
	88.
	Joseph in Alabama.
	Fire at Smithsonian Institution.
	Something strange will be discovered in the aftermath.
	I believe that's Bonk.
	89.
	Elizabeth from Washington.
	The younger British prince will be king.
	I think that's a ding, right?
	The younger British prince will be king.
	I think that's a ding.
	Tell me if I'm wrong.
	No, I have to Let's see.
	Ivan from New Zealand, 90.
	A major figure in the British Royal Family will pass away.
	Hmm.
	I think...
	I think... I'm putting a question mark there.
	Was there a major figure in the British royal family that passed away?
	I'll hold judgment on that.
	91, Kat from New Jersey.
	Widespread disease in America.
	Atlanta, very important because of the headquarters of the CDC and the infected masses believe that the cure lies there.
	Well, it certainly would, but it didn't.
	Monk, I'll go here and just do one more.
	Anthony from Florida.
	The East Coast of the U.S.
	will be hit by a tidal wave, thank goodness.
	That's a bonk.
	All right, in a moment we will continue with predictions for 2007.
	All right, here we go.
	Prediction number 73 is going to be next, and it's going to be made by Chris in Denver, Colorado.
	Hi, Chris.
	Yes, sir.
	Hi, Art.
	I have a prediction about a new kind of music coming out in 2007.
	I think it's on the frequency of the whales.
	Really?
	What a unique prediction.
	Another really good one.
	A new kind of music.
	We're due, by the way, for something new, based on whale music.
	Yeah, I think it'll have a message that will be interpreted in the music, in the human language, and what they have to tell us through the mainstream.
	Either be on the internet or in the mainstream.
	Boy, I'm telling you, buddy, yours is right in there with so many of the other ones.
	We're getting some wonderful predictions this year, and this is one of them.
	Thank you.
	All right, take care.
	That really is pretty cool.
	We're overdue, aren't we, for a shift in the music world.
	And what an unusual shift that would be if we began to understand what the whales are singing at a higher level, that is to say.
	Let me look at some of these.
	People are asking, by the way, In droves whether I'm screening calls and the answer is yes indeed I am screening calls there was not enough time to get the phone lines in here so that I could directly pick them up so we are doing call screening and I don't have the normal setup here in other words I'm not playing my own music and that sort of thing the board ops are doing that so just so you know
	On the record, just as we were doing from Manila because of the time element, the network had, bless their hearts, and I want to thank Bill Hickey and Trevor Oliver and a lot of other people who once, and I gave them very, very short notice that I was going to return to the U.S.
	They got up here like that and got enough of a setup so that I could get on the air when I got back home because we had these critical prediction shows To do.
	So, the answer is yes, we are screening calls.
	And I suspect that we'll get back to the norm, for me anyway, eventually.
	And get the lines in and all the rest of it.
	But just for the sake of laying it out the way it is, we are screening calls.
	Kevin in St.
	Cloud, Florida, you're on the air.
	Hey Art, how you doing?
	I'm very well indeed, thank you.
	Alright.
	Hey, I love y'all show.
	Y'all is just great.
	Um, I've been listening to y'all for a long time.
	We miss Whitley Strieber.
	Well, guess what, then?
	I've got some news for you.
	Okay, what's that?
	This coming Thursday, Whitley is going to be on the air with me because George is taking a night off, so I'll be here Thursday night, Friday morning.
	Fantastic!
	Guest, Whitley Strieber.
	Yeah, okay.
	Alright, hey, here's my prediction, Art.
	Check this out.
	On June 6th at 3.58 PM, 34 seconds into the deal, there's going to be an earthquake and it's going to happen in the Philippines.
	I'm glad you're out of there.
	And that's like on the Chinese calendar.
	It's like they got, I think it was like March 21st for some odd reason.
	I don't know.
	But it's June 6th.
	It's going to happen.
	It's a crazy deal.
	I don't know.
	I get these things.
	I told George Norton about it, about the tsunami that happened.
	What it did was, it was doing a snapping effect on our, I want to say the North and the South Pole.
	And what it does, all of a sudden, there's this snapping of this Arctic shell.
	There's like six of them in Canada, and one of them is snapped off now.
	So it's pretty well, you know, established in our thing.
	I hope to hell you're wrong.
	The people of the Philippines have had enough happen to them recently.
	The current situation, there are communications in the Philippines right now, but it's very spotty.
	And as you know, there was a large earthquake in Taiwan and that cut all of the fiber cables That went to the Philippines, so communications are being rerouted, but they're spotty, not good at all, and with all the typhoons that have hit the Philippines, the earthquakes, the tsunamis, it's just, it's been a rough time for the Philippines, and I got to experience most of it while I was there, so I certainly don't want to have more happening, but that part of the world, undeniably, is very
	Very active.
	Let's go to the International Line, Nova Scotia, all the way to Nova Scotia with Al.
	Hi, Al.
	All right, how's she going, buddy?
	How you doing, buddy?
	Okay.
	Buddy, well, my prediction is there's going to be a well-known Canadian politician who belongs to the Liberal Party, will be revealed as an alien, manly a great.
	Really?
	Yes.
	Okay, so he's already in office now, right?
	He certainly is.
	So you're telling me a highly placed Canadian government official is an alien?
	Absolutely.
	He's a grey.
	Manly a gray.
	Okay, I'll go along with that and that would be quite a revelation, but I bet it's going
	to be a bonk.
	Well, I've heard quite a few shows where, you know, you talked about alien civilizations and alien abductions and quite a few other things.
	So, you know, I think, I think, you know, that it will reveal itself this upcoming year.
	You know, I know it sounds bizarre, but... Sir, is he going to announce this, or is he going to be outed?
	He will be outed.
	He'll be outed, right?
	Absolutely.
	And the thing is, if you look closely, you can tell by the shape of his head, and by the size of his eyes, he is a grey.
	I will be watching your politicians closely.
	Yes, and remember, manly is a gray.
	Alright.
	Ha ha.
	Well, there's got to be a little humor in some of these, right?
	East of the Rockies, John in Illinois, you're on the air.
	Hey R, it's good to hear you.
	At least JC hasn't called you tonight yet, huh?
	That's true.
	That's true.
	My prediction is under the new Mexican leadership, the guy taking over after Fox, I think the lawlessness is going to break out.
	There's going to be a chain reaction and it's going to cause the illegal immigration to double from 12 million to 24 million.
	Oh my God.
	Um, illegal immigration doubles from Mexico.
	Yes.
	Which causes, you know, they send back $265 billion a year to their families.
	If it doubles and they hold some of the money here, maybe some of that money would stay in the United States.
	Uh, yeah.
	I'm not against having Mexicans come to the U.S.
	and work.
	We really do need them.
	They do an awful lot of good agricultural work for us.
	I said this last night.
	I'm going to say it again tonight.
	That doesn't mean we cannot secure our borders.
	We can have our cake and eat it too.
	I just wish that we'd get to the eating part.
	We need to secure the borders.
	I'm really on board with that.
	But if the police in Mexico can't secure their own states, that's why I'm seeing the domino effect of the increase in just coming and doubling.
	Happy New Year, Art.
	Thank you.
	Happy New Year to you as well, sir.
	Thank you very, very much for the call.
	By the way, coming up after midnight...
	I am going to let my new wife, Erin, say a few words to you.
	I have no idea what she'll say, but I'm going to let her say a few words of greeting in the new year.
	This is, what, her third day in the United States.
	She comes from a rather remote area of Mindanao, and so she went from that all her life.
	She's a school teacher, you know.
	And she went from that to six months in Manila, which was courtesy of me.
	You know, in the condominium, I took her from Mininau to Manila, and I did that for a number of reasons.
	One of them, of course, was that I could get a broadcast line there.
	And that kind of helped her out a little bit.
	In making the jump to what she has now done in coming to the United States but my goodness from where she was to where she is now is a remarkable change and that that's an understatement believe me so she's three days in the USA and I'll be kind of interested myself to see what she has to say.
	Totally unplanned.
	We'll see what she says.
	She promised she would say a few words.
	First time caller line, Bosco in South Texas.
	You're on the air.
	Hey, Art.
	Happy New Year.
	Same to you.
	Well, let's see.
	I saw a major tanker oil leak in the Pacific.
	Boy, we don't need any more of those, but you believe there's... Any idea where in the Pacific?
	I'm seeing somewhere close to Hawaii.
	Okay, well I hope that doesn't happen.
	Yours is prediction number 77.
	All right.
	Have a good mission, Art.
	Okay, Bosco, thank you very much for the call.
	Major oil tanker leak in Pacific.
	You know, we've got to get going with energy, some sort of alternative energy, because as we continue to pump oil in pipelines and carry it in tankers, the inevitable, the inevitable, will continue to occur.
	West of the Rockies, again, in Alaska, Frenchy, hello!
	How you doing, Art?
	I'm fine, sir.
	Good.
	I'd like to say a couple things first.
	Thank you for shutting that woman down on your singing thing.
	Anybody that's such a fruit loop that's going to say, yeah, I can predict people that can change lanes and backing out of the driveway and stuff like that, any fool can see that because that's what directional lights are for and backup lights are for.
	Well, I know, but he was, I think he was going past the signaling part of it and knowing what they would do.
	There are people who are pretty good at that kind of thing.
	Okay.
	My prediction is going to be, That Art Bell, that would be you sir, is going to stop being a pansy about this mass consciousness thing, and you're going to start using it yourself in your program to try to get things done.
	Like, for instance, securing the border, stop abortions, have some UFO sightings over the White House.
	Little things like that, you know?
	Well, I can tell you right now, I can tell you right now, buddy, that you're off in Fruit Loopville yourself because I am committed not to use it unless we're virtually looking at the end of the world.
	Yeah, but if you use it for good things, I mean, a UFO over the White House isn't a bad thing.
	Securing the border is a good thing, okay?
	Yeah, but see, the reason that I'm not using it, sir, if not yet clear to you, is because I don't understand how the power works.
	Now, let's take your examples.
	A UFO over the White House could go wrong in a lot of ways.
	For example, we could shoot it down.
	The White House is very sensitive about unknown flying objects over the White House.
	They don't like it.
	They have missiles ready to shoot, you know, so that could go wrong.
	And what was the other one you said?
	The border.
	Yeah, but the thing is, if you shoot over the White House, how do you cover that up?
	Well, you don't, but suppose that would start a war with You know, some other superior race of folks.
	You know, that'd be bad.
	You do a mass consciousness thing where nobody gets shot down and no wars get started.
	You know what I mean?
	Right.
	Yeah, but see, the problem is you cannot guarantee that.
	That's the problem.
	You simply cannot guarantee that.
	So, there you go.
	I don't know what to say to you except that, uh, bonk.
	I'm bonking that right now.
	But I'll leave it down.
	Actually, I'll leave it right there.
	East of the Rockies, Frank in Queens, New York.
	Yes, this is E. Frank from Astoria, Queens, New York City.
	Yeah, Art, I just want to make a prediction for 2007.
	You know, my prediction is that they will discover a secret document in Saddam Hussein's home in Tikrit, Iraq, that will prove that one of President George W. Bush's ancestors wrote the Book of Daniel from the Old Testament I can't write all this down.
	You're going to have to capsulize this for me.
	Well, they're going to find a secret document, Art, that will prove that one of the ancestors of President Bush wrote the book of Daniel.
	He had a premonition that these things would come to light in the 21st century.
	And it was written, and even though they state that the Book of Daniel was written in the first century or before that time, they're going to discover that it was basically submitted and changed around in the 14th century, and they're going to find that it was written in an English cottage during that Renaissance period.
	Well, this is a pretty wild prediction, and I am rather curious how you came up with it.
	Well, Art, you know, I usually Usually meditate, and there was a revelation that was given to me by the Holy Spirit.
	And in my dream state, the Holy Spirit spoke to me and stated this in my mind.
	Alright, I'm short on time.
	The Holy Spirit will do as a source.
	That said...
	Before I can come back and talk with you again.
	Actually, Erin will be here.
	It's going to be midnight.
	It's going to be the New Year here on the West Coast.
	And then she heads toward Alaska and Hawaii.
	So, folks, get ready.
	Here it comes.
	I'm Art Bell.
	That's right.
	From the high desert, here is Ardbell.
	Happy New Year, everybody.
	Boy, they've got... I'm telling you, it went off in Las Vegas and it's still going off.
	What an incredible celebration is going on right now in Las Vegas.
	Nevada.
	Holy smokes, they're going berserk!
	Listen, I'm going to take a moment out here and I'm going to let Erin, who's, what, three or four days now only in the United States, say hello to all of you.
	So it'll be a little clumsy because I've got to put this mic on her head.
	So here we go.
	Hello.
	Happy Happy New Year to everyone.
	Hope this year 2007 is a good year to all of us.
	So thank you so much for your email, for sending us your welcome home for Art and also for me.
	And especially for those who sent the email about baked potato.
	It's crazy but it's true.
	I'm really craving for baked potato and tonight we made our own baked potato during our dinner and we made it.
	And so thank you so much for that and once again happy happy new year.
	Put smile in your face for the Next long year.
	So, thank you so much, and happy, happy New Year, especially to my sister Sharon, Carl, and his family.
	So, that's all.
	Thank you.
	Okay.
	There she is.
	That's Erin.
	In a moment, back to predictions for the year that is now on its way to Hawaii and Alaska.
	All right.
	Back to it we go.
	We're doing predictions for 2007.
	Let me...
	Begin reviewing some more so we can get through all of them before the night is over from last year.
	A very bad year.
	Number 93.
	Dan from Texas says a seismic event near El Paso reroutes the Rio Grande River.
	That's certainly a bonk.
	94.
	Federal government temporarily relocates to Denver because of Mideast crisis.
	No, too much snow.
	Bonk.
	95.
	A cure for AIDS comes out of Europe.
	That is bonk.
	96.
	2006 will be the start of the Tribulation Period.
	That's a little subjective, but I'm going to bonk it.
	97.
	World Peace.
	That's, I'm afraid, always going to be a bonk.
	98.
	Mike from Utah.
	Three major earthquakes in Northern California between March and October of 2006.
	Get out now!
	2006 get out now bonk
	99.
	Caller from Indiana.
	Art Bell mentors and or adopts a 14 year old Native American child.
	Hmm.
	Yes, bonk.
	100.
	Rick from Florida.
	Lost civilization will be discovered in the western U.S.
	Bonk, as far as I know.
	101.
	Josie from Kansas.
	Population of Central and South America is compelled to come to America.
	American soldiers mow them down with machine guns.
	Oh my God.
	Bonk. 102.
	Joyce from Massachusetts.
	AIDS mutation and nuclear exchange decimates population.
	Bonk 103.
	Caller from Colorado.
	Art Bell will do more than three shows per month in 2006.
	Well, ding, ding, ding!
	More than three shows a month.
	Yes, I have been certainly doing that.
	So, we will ding that one.
	Congratulations in a sea of bonks.
	104.
	Jim from New York says the Dalai Lama will pass in 2006.
	World peace will be attained briefly as the media focuses on his death bonk.
	It was a bad year.
	105.
	Linda in Indiana in the first week of May 2006.
	Mount Denali will explode taking Yellowstone with it.
	The Mid-Continent Rift will open.
	God, a bonk.
	106.
	Jason from Oregon.
	Michio Kaku will confirm that time travel to the past and perpetual motion go hand-in-hand.
	And that's certainly a bonk.
	107.
	Brenda from Alberta, Canada.
	Super drought in North America.
	Farmers will be devastated.
	Food prices will skyrocket.
	And there was a second prediction, which shouldn't have been allowed.
	Secrets of Coral Castle revealed, and that's a bonk.
	Now there was some drought, certainly in North America, but not anything that drove food prices through the roof.
	Oh, let me keep going here.
	In 2006, Art Bell will produce a new 30-minute radio program three to five times a week.
	That is a bonk.
	That was 108.
	Okay, I'll stop there for now and we will continue with predictions.
	It was a bad, bad year, wasn't it?
	For 2007, we're doing much, much better.
	I have a feeling we're doing better is what I guess I ought to say.
	Diana in Fort Myers, Florida, you're on the air.
	Art, I love your wife.
	She's a sweetheart.
	She is.
	And happy to her too.
	Bless her heart.
	But I wanted to say, and I'm serious in this, not since the time of the Grapes of the Raft, you know, the John Steinbeck movie, but I see a drought, a major drought, a dust bowl from Texas all the way up into the Canadian borderline even.
	And people will be displaced and moved because of it.
	But the flip side is where you're at It's going to become a wetland with even new rivers.
	Well, my new wife would enjoy that.
	Yeah.
	Happy New Year to you, sweetie.
	And the very same to you.
	Take care.
	That was prediction number 80.
	All right.
	We're going to try and squeeze as many as we can in.
	Anthony in Alpine, California, first time caller line, you're on the air.
	Hi, Art.
	Welcome back to the U.S.
	Thank you sir.
	I'm listening to you on Streamlink and my prediction for 2007 is a large number of new record high temperatures across the U.S.
	brought on by global warming.
	Yeah, I'm afraid that one is absolutely going to occur.
	So, it's a safe bet you're making and that actually is a concern to me because I live here in the desert that regularly experiences some of the highest temperatures.
	You know, I'm not far from Death Valley.
	Yes.
	And they called it Death Valley for a very, very good reason.
	So, if global warming would happen to really affect this area, it could become virtually unlivable.
	Any reaction?
	Yes, I was thinking even a new record high for Death Valley, possibly.
	Great.
	Well, you just had to add that, didn't you?
	Alright, look, your prediction is number 81 and duly recorded.
	Okay, thanks.
	Happy New Year.
	Happy New Year to you.
	What I will hope because I realize and have realized for a long time that global warming is inevitable.
	I've seen the process underway as you all well know and I guess I have to hope that whatever effect it has produces more rainfall in the desert.
	Now that certainly is a distinct possibility because As I mentioned, if the temperatures here went up significantly, it would become unlivable.
	For a couple of weeks during the summer, we can get temperatures that approach 116 degrees or so, and that's kind of on the edge of what people can stand and live with.
	And of course, we live with it, with air conditioning, but if you were to push that up Another 10 degrees, you're really talking about an uninhabitable place.
	So this is one of those places that's kind of on the edge.
	Some shorelines are going to experience erosion because of rising sea levels.
	Other areas will experience temperature differentials.
	And we're in just one of those, you know, edgy kind of areas where we couldn't stand very much.
	Let's go to, let's see, East of the Rockies, I guess, and John in the Bronx, New York.
	Hi Aaron, welcome to the United States, and Art, welcome back home.
	Thank you.
	I've been a listener since the Miami Circle days.
	Oh, quite a while ago.
	Yeah, and I just want to say I like those two petitions about music.
	I wonder if they're going to be related.
	Those are fun.
	I don't know, but you've got to admit, the predictions on these two programs for 2007 really have been unique.
	Yeah.
	All right, what have you got?
	Okay, I see a new unexpected nuclear power someplace in a small country with mountains somewhere around the world.
	So something unexpected, not like, you know, like some group in Afghanistan or Pakistan getting nukes or one of the Soviet republics.
	I see something like Unexpected, like Nepal or Paraguay or Ethiopia.
	That's not necessarily a, you know, like a threat to the United States.
	A small country getting nuclear... That's very interesting and... Mountains, some place with mountains that could like hide them easily and be off the radar screen.
	No, I've got you.
	Wouldn't that be weird if some small country that we did not expect suddenly announced they were a nuclear power?
	Right.
	And again, not somebody that would be considered hostile, but that doesn't like the, you know, current conditions around the world where they're not secure with global, with international law and everything like that, where countries don't trust each other anymore.
	more. So I see that either next year in 2007 or 2008 unless you know political
	conditions change and we get more professional statesmen like you know
	like Ford was that can get countries to act together again and trust each other.
	I would say your prediction is one of the more interesting and there believe
	me there's been that's a high comment compliment because we've had some darn
	Alright, thank you, and take care, number 82.
	That could happen.
	Think about it.
	Some small country that you wouldn't expect.
	Perhaps some South American country.
	That has been secretly working on a nuclear weapon, you know, refining or perhaps even purchasing refined uranium, enriched uranium.
	And they suddenly simply announced they are now in the list of countries that possess nuclear weapons.
	I wonder what we would do.
	This really has been, it may be an interesting year.
	If even a small part of these come true, it's going to be an interesting year, isn't it?
	Wildcard Line is Joe in Boston.
	You're on the air, Joe.
	Hello, Art.
	Welcome back to the U.S.
	Thank you.
	Aaron misses her hometown.
	I don't know what it's like to live in the tropics, but it must be rough.
	I have a prediction and I have a question for you.
	Okay.
	My prediction is that we will go either into North Korea or Tehran this year.
	Or Iran, I'm not saying it right.
	I hope we don't.
	And so does your screener.
	I hope we don't, because it's a terrible thing.
	We get mixed up in that.
	George Bush, I know, wants to go into that country, those countries.
	I think we might start a war with him.
	Well, I would suspect probably more Iran than North Korea, but either one is possible.
	Sure.
	Okay, and a question?
	Yes, will you play the Area 51 tape for us sometime on vacation?
	Remember where the guy... Come on, you've got to play that.
	The guy tried to fly in there.
	We haven't heard... Oh, yeah.
	You know what?
	The network would have a record of that.
	And it's not a bad idea, Joe.
	I'll see if we can dig it out.
	Great.
	Thanks a bunch.
	All right, thank you.
	We'll make an official request to the network.
	It was one of the most infamous things that ever occurred on this program, this fellow who flew into Area 51.
	It was pretty wild.
	It went on for quite a while, and I wonder if somebody at the network could dig it out And we could do just a play of that particular part.
	We could do it, for example, Thursday.
	If they could do it that quickly.
	If they could find that old recording and just cut out that portion.
	It would be absolutely fascinating.
	It was one of the wildest, most... Of course, this program is full of the unpredictable, but that was at the top of the list, so let's see what we can do.
	And let's go to the International Line, and Keith in Hamilton, Ontario.
	How are you doing, Art?
	Well, sir.
	Okay, great.
	First, two years ago, I told you I was six for six on my on-air predictions.
	Yes.
	That year was for race wars, I said, which happened in the US and Paris and Australia, and that put me 7 for 7.
	Now, Art, my prediction for last year was number 33, if you have it.
	Let me look.
	33, huh?
	Let's see.
	33, Keith from Ontario.
	A female celebrity will encounter her stalker.
	She is subsequently murdered.
	Yes, sir.
	Okay.
	Who was that?
	Um, on October the 28th, I seen on the CNN ticker tape, at the bottom of the screen, um, it said actress Adrienne Shelley was found stabbed to death at her home by a construction worker.
	Really?
	October 28th, Adrienne Shelley.
	I am, uh, I don't know who Adrienne Shelley is, so I guess... Yeah, neither do I, no.
	But, but it literally said that, it said actress Adrienne Shelley.
	I'm like, oh my God, not that I'm happy about the prediction, but oh my God, it came true.
	Um, well okay, I'm gonna, alright, I'm gonna convert it to a ding.
	Thank you, sir.
	But I'm telling you right now, there are people researching, and if it turns out that Adrienne Shelley was an unknown, wasn't an actress, you know, it's going back to a bonk.
	I hear ya, I hear ya.
	Alright, alright.
	I like to think right now I'm 8 for 8 anyway.
	Alright.
	This is not really a coast-to-coast-like topic, but if you remember, there was a wrestling tragedy in 1997 of Owen Hart.
	Where he plummeted from the top of the cable and he plummeted down to the ring?
	Yes.
	You remember that?
	Vaguely, I remember the news, yes.
	Yeah, 1997.
	So 2007, I'm gonna say, there's gonna be another wrestling fatality.
	Okay.
	Another wrestling fatality.
	Yes.
	Any idea what part of the year?
	Uh, no.
	Just, there will be one.
	So, like I say, so far, I'm 8 for 8.
	I feel Yeah, it'll happen.
	And strangely enough, too, ten years later.
	All right.
	Number 84 is your assignment.
	Thank you.
	You're very welcome.
	And we're going to be checking in to what you said.
	Okay, let's see.
	I think wildcard line three's been waiting quite a while.
	Lewis in Colorado.
	Hi, Art.
	I got a prediction for you.
	Fire away.
	Pardon me?
	Fire away.
	Okay.
	I predict.
	That you are going to have completely quit smoking by the time the baby gets here.
	Oh, that's going to be a safe bet.
	I'm really struggling.
	I'm going to look into this new drug they have.
	What the heck is it called?
	I actually downloaded a page on it.
	It's Chantix or something like that.
	C-H-A-N-T-I-X is a new drug that apparently or claims to affect the brain's receptors, not allowing nicotine to attach to the receptors, which I guess really does do the job, I'm told by many people.
	I'm gonna go get some from my doctor and we'll see if we can complete the task here.
	I'm close.
	Well, you're going to be inspired by your surroundings.
	And this is going to...
	Uh, be the real cause, uh, for you to quit.
	I'm already inspired by my surroundings, sir.
	Um, because, uh, Aaron, of course, is pregnant.
	When I do smoke one of my four cigarettes a day, I go into a room where there's a fan and isolate myself or, um, go outside.
	You're gonna do it.
	I am gonna do it.
	I'm, I'm sick of it.
	I'm sick of it.
	Sick to death of it.
	Listen, buddy, it's number 85 and it's probably gonna be a ding.
	Okay.
	Thank you very much.
	All right, Art.
	Bye-bye.
	Bye-bye.
	Take care.
	Wildcard Line 4, Rebecca in Oregon.
	You're on the air.
	Hi, Art, and Happy New Year to everybody.
	And to you.
	Thank you.
	I have a prediction.
	In late 2007, a man with a distinguished military career, with very strong libertarian leanings, will announce his candidacy for President of the United States.
	He is the wild card that's yet to be played.
	He will not be a darling by the media.
	He'll be something and someone totally unique that we've seen in politics in many, many years, if ever.
	Well, let me tell you, hun, if something like that happened, I would be one very excited talk host.
	Awesome.
	Wonderful.
	Well, good luck with your baby and Happy New Year to you and Aaron.
	Thanks, bye.
	Okay, bye bye.
	I would be one excited guy if that occurred.
	You remember when Ross Perot ran, and I'm talking about before he sort of quit and then came back, disappointing everybody?
	I was so excited, not because Ross was such great shakes, I just thought he would go to Washington and he would just shake the hell out of everybody.
	And I'm always hoping that a candidate like that will come along.
	Alright folks, we're going to take a break here.
	I think we're going to take a break here.
	Yes, there is the break music and we'll be back with more predictions right after this.
	The official prediction show, actually the second of the prediction shows for 2007.
	And we're going to plunge right back into it in a moment and try and, well let's see, we're at number 86, so we're kind of on track to get this all done and get about the normal number of predictions for two shows that we get.
	I'm Art Bell, stay right where you are, the predictions continue!
	Following the program tonight, as every year, these predictions will go into the Bell Family Vault to be pulled out yet next year and reviewed.
	And hopefully we'll be clapping because you have done so well.
	On the first time caller line, Bud from Battle Creek, Michigan, your turn.
	Hello.
	Hi.
	I've been lucky.
	This is the third year in a row I've been lucky enough to get you on these prediction shows.
	How have you done so far?
	Well, the first year I called you, I was, uh, I think number 83.
	And, uh, my prediction was about the automobile was gonna, you know, take a bad hit, you know, which it did.
	You know, the last year the prediction it did.
	And then lucky enough, last year I called in, I was number one in the show.
	The first caller.
	Last year you were number one.
	Let me take a look here.
	Yeah, Bud.
	Bud's the name.
	I believe.
	Yeah, that was a ding.
	Bud from Michigan, extremely rough year for U.S.
	automakers.
	More layoffs.
	All right.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I'm predicting they're going to take another hit, man.
	I mean, these cars, they're pumping them out every day and there ain't no way out there to buy all these cars.
	And they're just, it's getting worse.
	And Toyota's, you know, really hurting America because they're building a real good car.
	And America, you know, they're, they just don't, they don't take pride in their stuff no more.
	Well, you know, I saw a recent news story indicating that the American automobile industry was supposed to make a comeback this year, but you could be right.
	I don't think it's going to.
	It's going to get worse for them people.
	I myself, I'm a security guard, and I wouldn't even want to be a security guard at a place that even made anything to do with cars, because I don't have faith in anything to do with cars.
	It's sooner or later, you know, you're going to get laid off or they're going to close your plan or something, because it's it's dwindling down.
	It's getting worse.
	They're going to have they're going to offer these people another big buyout this year.
	You know, and it's just worse and worse.
	That's a depressing prediction.
	Alright, well this year it's number 87.
	Number 87.
	And could I say something else?
	I was listening to one of your callers while I was hanging on the phone here and he's talking about your smoking.
	Yes.
	You're down to four cigarettes a day?
	That's correct.
	Do you have one in the morning?
	I absolutely do.
	That is one of the four.
	Here's the way it works.
	I wake up, and with my first cup of coffee, I have a cigarette.
	After that, I begin chewing gum.
	And I usually do not have another cigarette until, oh, say, after the afternoon meal.
	And after meals, it's really, really, really hard.
	Lately, I've been able to cure myself.
	For example, when the phone rings, I've always picked up a cigarette.
	And what I've been able to do lately is pick it up and then realize I'm just, you know, I'm just reacting to an impulse and a habit.
	And so I put it back down again and have my phone call.
	Well, I quit when I was 43 and I'm 57 now.
	Uh, the way I did it is I got up one day, went to go to my laundry and got sick.
	You know, you get that cough in the morning from smoking the first one.
	I got out behind the car and I'm puking up my guts.
	And I said, that's it.
	You know, so I smoked the rest of the day.
	Well, that night I slept all night and the next morning I didn't take that first cigarette.
	And that's the way to start.
	You've got already that eight hours that it's out of your system, you know, and it's gone.
	Just keep right on going and don't take these pills because all you're all you're doing is just going from from cigarettes to these pills.
	And that's Well, actually, sir, I've gone from cigarettes to the gum, so I'm still hooked.
	In other words, I'm still putting nicotine into my system.
	I'm just doing it with the gum.
	Now, that of course saves your lungs, but I'm not sure that nicotine is all that harmful for you.
	I'm not a doctor, so I can't really say that with authority, but I don't think it's really that.
	It's a stimulant of sorts, kind of like coffee, I guess.
	But it doesn't damage your lungs, so that's what I've been doing, but I fully realize I'm still hooked on the gum.
	So, I thought I would give this, you know, this new drug is getting rave reviews, so I thought I would give it a try, and that might actually relieve me of the nicotine habit, and that would be wonderful if that occurred.
	Now here is something I have noticed since you brought it up.
	The first cigarette of the day is beginning to make me dizzy.
	Now I know what that means.
	I've been smoking long enough to know what that means.
	When you have your first few cigarettes before you actually acquire the habit, it makes you dizzy as hell.
	And I've noticed that I've begun to get dizzy with that first cigarette.
	I think that's making some progress.
	International Line, Clark from Calgary, Canada.
	You're on the air.
	Happy New Year, Art.
	Thank you.
	My quick prediction is this.
	There's going to be some accidents and an abject failure of the nuclear program in Iran, which may precipitate a change of government.
	Really?
	Nuke accident in Iran?
	And a failure of their nuclear program.
	That would certainly set them back.
	There's no question about that.
	Do you think that if the United States had the power, we would cause them to have a nuclear accident?
	I'm not going to say that on the air.
	Are you?
	Yeah, I just did.
	In the form of a question.
	You know, I guess if we could do something like that, we would.
	Or others.
	Or there's 90% of the moderates in Iran don't like the government and don't like what they're doing.
	And that's true.
	You're right about that.
	OK, your prediction is number 88.
	And I guess I'll say this.
	You know, I'm a big, big fan of the U.S.
	Constitution, of what our country stands for and all the rest of it.
	But we're no angels.
	And I don't for one, I'm not that naive.
	We have overthrown governments.
	We have assassinated leaders.
	We've done all kinds of things.
	We're no angels.
	But we still have the best form of government in the world.
	Don't for one second doubt that.
	For whatever erosions have occurred in the Constitution and the Bill of Rights, there's nothing that comes anywhere close to the good old USA.
	That said, would we cause Iran to have a nuclear accident?
	Oh, in a CIA second.
	Let's go to the fourth wildcard line.
	That would be John in Massachusetts.
	Hello.
	Hi, Eric.
	How are you?
	Very well, sir.
	I'm just calling.
	I'm kind of getting the impression that in 2007, I think Cold Fusion is going to be back in the news.
	I hope so.
	Here's the shocking part of it.
	The person who is going to be involved in some way or manner is Al Gore.
	I guess that would be possible.
	I would think anybody with some cold fusion advance would go to somebody who cared.
	Well, exactly.
	I think with all his global warming, the inconvenient truth, I think he's kind of on the forefront of that.
	I know he does have an energy company that he's starting.
	Right.
	And so I think if anything's going to happen, that's where it's going to happen.
	All right.
	He's the guy to lead it.
	He has the contacts.
	Oh, sure.
	Your prediction is number 89 safely made.
	Awesome.
	Okay, thank you, and have a very good, not just night, but year.
	Let's go east to the Rockies, to Peter in Dearborn Heights, Michigan.
	Hello, Mr. Bell.
	Yes, sir.
	It's me, Peter from Dearborn Heights, and I emailed you in 2004 about the three-and-a-half-day warning.
	I don't know if you remember.
	I do not.
	But it's about Chapter 1111.
	You know, the 1111 keeps showing up with everybody.
	Yes.
	It's when the two witnesses are killed in Jerusalem that gives us a three and a half day warning for Armageddon.
	And my dream I had was that, actually going back to, you know, I told you in that letter that we attacked Israel.
	I wanted to show you that it's true.
	That, you know, Sunni happened to be a son of Gad.
	Gad was one of the twelve sons of Israel, or Jacob.
	Jacob prophesied that at first a troop will overcome them.
	All right, sir.
	I don't mean to cut you short, but I need a specific prediction.
	Right.
	You have to have ready 30 days of food and a barrel of water.
	That's my dream.
	That's not a prediction.
	It's a 30-day, yeah.
	We will need 30 days of food and a barrel of water.
	Let's try this.
	Why will we need that?
	Because the water will turn bitter and basically we will have trouble getting food.
	Especially in the Middle East.
	The people in the Middle East will definitely need the food and the water.
	So there will be famine?
	Right.
	Dad was basically, his son was sunny.
	I've got all that right, sir.
	I'm going to leave the line and just leave it at famine.
	And let's see, we'll put bitter water as well.
	I really do take the time to record these, so you have to sort of bear with me as we move along.
	First time caller on the line, Ryan in Minnesota, you're on the air.
	Hi Art, I'm a big fan of yours.
	Thank you for having me.
	I was debating on calling, but I felt I had to.
	And my prediction is that a joint effort from the CIA and the FBI is going to take coast-to-coast off the air.
	Ooh.
	Hmm.
	Um, any idea how they'll accomplish that?
	That I don't know.
	But I think that with the callers and the guests That you're hitting too close.
	Hmm.
	Too much?
	Well, I guess in a way that would be an ultimate both failure and success.
	I mean... I hope I'm wrong, Art.
	Well, I hope you're wrong, too.
	But if you're not, then it would be kind of an ultimate success, even though it would represent a failure.
	Actually, sir, if you think about it, it would be not just a failure of COAST, but it would be a failure of the American Constitution and the Bill of Rights, and everything else that we cherish as American citizens.
	So, if the CIA and FBI got together and decided they didn't, here's what I really think.
	I think that COAST exists, continues to exist, because groups like the CIA and FBI, although I'm sure they're worried and bugged and even angry at times, we've had the government very angry at us, believe me, but I think they're able to kind of write us off as conspiracy kooks, UFO people, And frankly, to some degree, that is what we are.
	However, we're a lot more.
	We all know that.
	I think they simply kind of write us off that way, though.
	And that's why we continue to exist.
	But, knock on pressed wood, because you never know.
	Wild card line, Mark from Colorado, your turn.
	Hi, Art.
	Happy New Year's and Mabuhay.
	Indeed, same to you.
	And I have a very, probably one of your most saddest and probably most depressing predictions of this year.
	I predict that Brett Favre is going to retire from being quarterback.
	I think he had some tears in his eyes and said that it may be the year that he really does retire.
	And I think, you know, I mean, being a Packer fan, and I know that you've got some memorabilia from Brett, but... Oh, I've got a signed football helmet.
	I mean, you know, other than winning the Super Bowl, beating the Bears is like the biggest thing.
	And for him to go out on that is probably to, you know, Well, you know, a lot of people fault and joke about people like Brett because they talk about retirement year after year after year and or retire and then come back.
	It's a very common thing among popular sports figures and people in the media.
	Look at me.
	I've retired.
	I've tried to retire a few times, but it's in your blood.
	And so, I'll add to your prediction, and I'll bet that if Brett Favre retires, he makes a comeback.
	Oh, I don't think that.
	I think he'll just, if he retires, he'll maybe take a year or two off, and then he'll go into the media and be like a, you know, like one of the broadcasters.
	Oh, that's possible.
	Yeah, he could become a broadcaster, and he'd be a good one.
	So, good prediction, sir.
	Good prediction.
	A very likely one.
	It's kind of in the media that he may retire.
	A lot of people give me grief over the fact that I've retired a couple of times.
	And of course there were a couple of tragedies that took me off the air for various periods of time.
	But I've been on the air for a lot of years.
	It's been a pretty wild life, those who have followed.
	And so these things, these careers, whether it's in broadcasting or football or basketball or whatever it is, they're in your blood.
	And from time to time an event comes along and you say, no, there's got to be more in life.
	I'm going to stop doing this and pay attention to something else.
	You come back to it.
	Because you love it.
	That's just sort of the way it is.
	Okay, let's go to Mike in New Mexico.
	You're on the air.
	Good morning, Art Bell.
	Happy New Year to you.
	And to you, sir.
	My prediction is there's going to be a lot of shark attacks this year, mainly in the Pacific.
	I know that there's been a few years lately where we've had a lot, but this year's going to be really bad.
	Any idea why?
	Is it just a psychic feeling, or do you have any reason why it might occur?
	Well, we go to the Pacific a lot to surf, and it just seems like there's been more and more every year.
	There hasn't been a lot in the newts, but I just have a feeling it's going to be bad this year.
	Okay.
	Another interesting prediction.
	It is number 93.
	Thank you, Art.
	Thank you.
	And again, I kind of want to praise everybody.
	This has been a particularly interesting year of varied predictions.
	Not so much of the usual.
	So it's going to be fascinating watching the year unfold.
	Okay, let's go to John in Miami, Florida on the wildcard line.
	Hi.
	Yes, hi Art.
	Happy New Year to you and all the listeners.
	And to you.
	Okay, my prediction is this, that President Bush will appoint his brother, Jeb Bush, now the ex-governor of Florida, as a special emissary to Latin America.
	And I feel that this appointment will be announced within the next two months.
	Why do you think he would do that?
	Well, first of all, it seems like we need more goodwill towards our neighbors there in Latin America, and Jeb Bush would seem like a logical choice.
	He speaks Spanish.
	His wife is of Mexican origin.
	He's developed contacts with a lot of the governments there in South America, being governor of Florida.
	It would seem like that would be a good appointment and good for the country and I just have a strong feeling about this.
	Alright, well it is now recorded officially as number 94.
	Okay.
	Thank you very much and have a great night and a great year.
	We're doing very well.
	Coming up on prediction number 95.
	I'm not quite sure that we have enough time to squeeze it in.
	Let me review just a couple of others that were made for this last year.
	109, caller from Oregon, said the cataclysm foretold by the Mayans in 2012 will happen instead in 2006.
	These survivors will unite in peace.
	Bonk.
	110.
	Mount St.
	Helens blows its top.
	Ooh, there was an eruption.
	Now it wasn't full, but I'm going to give it a ding because there have been so few.
	So we'll ding that.
	111.
	Chris from Washington.
	Military jets will be scrambled against some unknown force.
	By gosh, they were.
	Ding, ding, ding.
	They went after a UFO.
	Remember that story I read you the other day?
	From the high desert, I'm Art Bell.
	2006 was a terrible, terrible year for predictions.
	Let me continue with just a few more.
	112, Sean from California.
	The truth will be revealed about TWA Flight 800.
	It was shot down.
	Bonk.
	113.
	Tom from New... I'm not saying it wasn't, by the way.
	Tom from New Jersey.
	Massive ethnic violence in Mexico.
	Well, there was some trouble in southern Mexico, but massive?
	No.
	Bonk.
	114.
	Jeff from Missouri.
	A zombie plague.
	Now that would have been interesting, but it's a bonk.
	115, Mexico border trouble.
	People from the U.S.
	enter Mexico to prevent immigration with bows and arrows.
	If he hadn't added with bows and arrows, I probably could have dinged that.
	There certainly has been plenty of border trouble and talk of border trouble, but bows and arrows?
	Bonk.
	116.
	Mad in Israel.
	Ariel Sharon won't make it through 2006.
	Mad in Israel.
	I'm not sure what that means, but... I'll give it a... I'll try a ding on this and see what happens.
	117.
	December 18th, 2006.
	117 December 18th 2006 Osama bin Laden killed in retaliation a dirty bomb will detonate.
	Bonk.
	And 118, Michael from Texas said a comet and or asteroid will strike Earth in May.
	Bonk.
	So there you have a few more.
	The record is very poor.
	I've got some that we'll review at the bottom of the hour.
	But in a moment, when we come back, we will continue with predictions and I have much higher hopes for 2007.
	I am really enjoying this year's predictions.
	There's just something about it.
	You're doing a tremendous job.
	Wildcard Line, you're on the air.
	Chris in New York.
	Hey Art.
	I just want to preface this by saying that I have a really terrible feeling about this prediction.
	I have a feeling that it's maybe even something awful.
	Okay.
	My prediction for 2007 is that It's going to be revealed that the sun is actually a sentient entity, and that this revelation is going to first be revealed to the Russians.
	The sun is alive?
	Yes.
	That's so unusual!
	The sun is alive.
	God, that's interesting.
	You know, you actually, you can't rule out such a possibility.
	American natives believe the earth is alive, and it may well be.
	I don't rule it out.
	And if, you know, maybe the sun is alive.
	Yeah, that's my prediction.
	Number 95.
	Thank you, my friend.
	That's right in line with what we've been getting.
	The sun is alive.
	The sun is an entity of some sort.
	It could be so.
	I mean, who are we to say that it is not so?
	Simply because we don't recognize life doesn't mean there is not life.
	Yes, I know, it's very hot.
	All right, let's go west of the Rockies to Nightwing from Coast Riders.
	Oh, hi Art, and Spring Link, Coast Riders, and others.
	Yes, sir.
	Well, my prediction is, well, it's more positive than some of the other ones.
	It's basically a piece of nanotech that's finally starting to come out.
	It's basically this e-ink that they've been talking about for 10 years.
	Those type-based displays will become more prevalent in consumer items.
	What are you talking about now?
	What kind of displays?
	Oh, e-ink.
	It's basically the way to describe it is, after a processor draws the stuff on the screen, like an LCD screen, it doesn't have to keep it powered up.
	It can actually shut down.
	Which, instead of having hours on the battery, you can actually have weeks on the battery.
	Wow.
	Now that would be hot stuff.
	Yeah, it could also save a lot of energy for charging up batteries every couple of days, too.
	Boy, it sure would.
	All right, very interesting, and recorded as number 96.
	Ah, thank you.
	Ah, thank you.
	And you have a good year ahead, my friend.
	Same to you.
	Okay, take care.
	Let's go this way, east of the Rockies, Bob, in Ohio.
	Oh, good morning, Art.
	Happy New Year to you.
	Yes.
	Okay, my prediction is, or you can call it prediction, you can call it premonition, or just one heck of a strong gut feeling from an old Marine.
	I believe that the United States is going to start up the draft again before summer ends.
	You know, I can almost feel that coming.
	If they decide to put more troops in Iraq, and I think that's what they're going to do.
	It's going to be even more NADART.
	I do believe, you know, that I think North Korea, I think that guy, even though if he doesn't attack the U.S., he's going to draw the U.S.
	into a confrontation by sending a missile over to either Japan or South Korea.
	He can do this.
	Well, I hate to say this, but I think that the United States, before we would get into a ground battle with North Korea... He'll fry them.
	I think he will.
	I believe that.
	I believe they'll fry them just like Turan.
	I do believe that.
	I think Israel is going to come in there, and I think they're going to take them out.
	But when they do, the United States and Great Britain is going to have to back them.
	There's going to be no question about it, because they're going to be fighting on many a front again.
	It'll be 1973 all over again.
	I'm afraid I have to agree with you.
	If they decide they're going to go and enlarge their involvement, you're going to be right.
	We're going to have the draft.
	Yes, I do believe it's going to happen, and it's going to happen before The end of summer.
	Alright, duly recorded, and that was number 97.
	Alright, to the, well, no, let's make it the international line and say, Jason in Calgary, you're on the air.
	Hey, how's it going, Art?
	It's going just spiffy.
	Good, good.
	Let's see if I can get my losing streak here.
	I'm 0 for 1 now.
	Okay.
	Didn't get my last year's right, so we'll try something new this year.
	That was 67 last year.
	Well, you'll be 98 this year.
	OK.
	Hopefully a higher number will be better.
	First things first, you had a caller earlier who mentioned that wrestling death.
	And he said it was 1997.
	It was actually 1999 in April.
	OK.
	All right.
	So it was eight years and not 10 years for him.
	So my prediction this year will be that a major restaurant chain won't be around at the start of 08.
	So a major restaurant chain fails?
	Yes, either for financial reasons or it's going to be bought out by another company.
	Okay, well there's a big difference.
	It's going to be one of the two.
	I can't quite pinpoint it, but I have a feeling that one of the major restaurant chains in North America won't be around at the start.
	You're saying it would be a name we would know?
	Yeah.
	All right, again, an interesting prediction.
	Thank you very much, and it is indeed number 98.
	I just can't say enough how diverse, interesting, and potentially correct I think these predictions are.
	Just really a wild year.
	You've just been all over the place this year, and they're just very unusual.
	So if we get some hits here, I think we've got some people who Well, let me put it this way, perhaps deserve a little air time.
	Let's see, wildcard line four, it would be Larry in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
	Good evening, Art.
	I believe I got a premonition about this and it's not that unusual, but I think it's kind of remarkable.
	I feel that in 2007, a candidate is going to announce that he's running for president and he will be the candidate who wins.
	And it'll be somewhat of a surprise because I believe it will be Al Gore.
	I think that there will be a change of consciousness in America to where they see that this guy is coming from a different angle all of a sudden, and I think that the focus on saving the planet is going to come foremost in people's minds, and they're going to see him as a brave leader in this direction and do a 180, and I think that he will be the eventual winner, and I believe 2007 will be the beginnings of that.
	That would take a gigantic change in mindset in the country.
	What do you think could produce that, sir?
	The indications like the ice that broke off last week.
	Satellite photos that's floating around out there that may hit ships.
	And here in Fort Lauderdale, I'm what, a mile and a half from the Atlantic Ocean near Commercial Boulevard.
	All it takes is a few feet.
	And hotels are underwater and takes just one little thing like that combined with several others around the country to where people say, you know what?
	We do have a problem here.
	I think that there is, the lightbulb is going on for more and more people.
	As you know, I've been involved in this now for years.
	I've known for years what was happening.
	And I really, I can feel the change.
	The scientists in the last couple of years have started to collectively get together and say, well, sorry, but it's true, it's really happening.
	And so they're pretty much in agreement now.
	There's very little dissension on the whole subject of global warming.
	But I think it's beginning to spread to the people, so you never know.
	Well, he would be the likely person that is, you know, in office, doesn't seem to be caught up in the current fray of diversion.
	He does seem to be single-purposed at this point, but I believe that People will look at him again, and he didn't exactly lose by that much of a margin the last time.
	So I do believe that that will be a little bit of a surprise that we'll see in 2007.
	Okay, my friend.
	Thank you very much, and it is duly recorded.
	You know, I'm going to make a statement right now.
	I'm going to bet you that the predictions that you all have made on these two programs this year And I guess really now it's 2007 technically, so a few hours into the new year.
	I am going to be willing to bet you that we get a better hit rate out of these predictions than any of the professional psychics who come on the air and make predictions.
	That's my prediction.
	That's how much I believe in what I've been hearing the last couple of days.
	East of the Rockies, Rob in Hammond, Indiana, you're on the air.
	Hello, Art.
	How's it going?
	Very well, actually.
	First time we ever talked was the night Clinton was elected the first time.
	Okay.
	Long time ago.
	Yes.
	So I'm on politics tonight.
	Okay.
	And I will say that the Vice President will resign, and the President will nominate his brother, Jeb, to replace him.
	Yeah, you know, I can see the reasoning behind that.
	An awful lot of people would be awfully angry.
	Yes, they would.
	But it might work.
	I hadn't thought of that.
	Okay, I've got it.
	Thank you much, sir.
	That would be absolutely incredible.
	And that prediction, by the way, is number 100.
	Okay?
	Alright, you're very welcome.
	Wouldn't that be something?
	It would be... You know, I almost said something to the other gentleman who predicted that Jeb would become an ambassador to South America or something like that.
	I think that he's got other aspirations.
	I kind of don't think the President could get away with this.
	However, the possibility of the VP resigning for perhaps health reasons can't be ruled out.
	And if it did occur, Would President Bush nominate Jeb?
	Would he take that chance?
	Lame duck.
	Right?
	At this point in his political career, he's got to be thinking about his legacy, and it would put his legacy in some danger.
	So, for that reason, I think he would not do it.
	But, on the other hand, if Jeb was there, He certainly would have a chance at staying there, wouldn't he?
	Keeping it in the family, as it were.
	These have just been fascinating, fascinating predictions.
	Wildcard Line 3, you're on the air.
	Hello, Art?
	Yes, sir.
	Hi, this is Jack.
	I am a psychic, and my visions, they come through dreams.
	And I guess the best way to describe it is It's kind of like a big giant Ouija board in my mind, but that's the best way, but I don't think it's an accurate description, but basically I can ask any questions.
	Yeah, that's okay.
	However you do it, that's fine.
	Okay.
	Um, and this, um, dream that I've been having, um, the last few nights, it's a little bit more gossipier than, or gossipier than, um, most of my predictions, but, Basically my prediction is that in 2007, one of the news hosts of one of the CNN news programs will be taken off the air due to an inappropriate affair.
	I don't really want to name names because I don't really have it that clear, but I think it's either Nancy... No, no, no, don't give me names.
	Look, we'll just say Anchor Taken Off Air.
	CNN Anchor Taken Off Air.
	Okay.
	Okay?
	And you say it'll be because of an affair?
	Yeah, an inappropriate affair.
	Meaning?
	It will be with...
	Somebody of the opposite sex?
	Yeah, I think so.
	I'm not sure, actually.
	It will be either someone they work with or someone that would cause a conflict of interest.
	Okay.
	Alright, it is duly recorded as number 101.
	First time caller line, Neil in Springfield, Ohio.
	Welcome.
	Yes, how are you?
	Very well.
	Yes.
	Erin seems rather lovely.
	She is.
	Thank you.
	How old is she?
	22.
	Almost 20.
	March 1st, 23.
	Hmm.
	How old a gentleman are you?
	What do you think?
	Um, you said you retired three times.
	Yeah, that's right.
	I'm 61.
	My.
	Goodness.
	She's 22 and you're 61.
	That's it.
	I'm looking for somebody.
	I'm 57.
	Uh-huh.
	Well, good luck.
	This happened in a strange, unusual way, and it just happened, and it's real, and that's all I can tell you.
	It's certainly a May, December 31st marriage, but we're in love.
	Yeah.
	So, there you are.
	Sounds great.
	Well, my prediction.
	Fire away!
	Earthquake.
	Oh, really?
	July final week.
	It happened tonight at once before in 1980.
	I was in my room.
	In fact, it affected several states.
	I was listening to the Detroit Lions.
	Well, I don't know who they were playing up there in Detroit.
	And when the earthquake hit, they filled it up there and everybody in the stadium cheered.
	Well, are you talking now about an earthquake like the one that made the Mississippi?
	It was prominent enough to feel.
	I know, I know, but the one you're predicting, are you talking about something the size of the one that made the Mississippi go backwards?
	Worse.
	Worse.
	It's possible.
	That was in 1811.
	You're calling from Ohio.
	Would you happen to be on that fault?
	Yep.
	How much do you believe in your prediction?
	I hope it doesn't happen.
	But that isn't what I asked.
	I asked how much you believe in your prediction.
	Well, they say in the literature it's bound to happen someday.
	That's true.
	But you believe it is going to happen because of Fewer than my bones, my marrow.
	Are you going to move?
	I might.
	I might move.
	Well, I've been thinking about Tennessee, but I don't know if that's far enough.
	I found out recently that I'm related to Davy Crockett.
	No kidding?
	Yeah.
	Davy Crockett's sister, Sarah.
	We just can't have a relative of Davy Crockett falling in a giant crack in the ground.
	So, you know, run, sir, run.
	Okay.
	Well, listen, you know, I bet I've been waiting on here an hour and a half to get on the show.
	It's a delight to talk to you, sir.
	I appreciate the call.
	Thank you very much.
	And your prediction is recorded as number 102.
	That's what we're doing.
	We'll, in a moment, review the last of the main failures made last year and make a few more predictions.
	I'm Mark Bell.
	Yes, indeed, here I am.
	Well, this is probably a fair moment for reflection, just before the break.
	Man, you heard from Aaron shortly after midnight, and how did all this happen, a lot of people are asking.
	Very briefly, it happened this way.
	As you all know, I lost the love of my life, Ramona, and I was in a very bad place, a very extremely dark place.
	And I began getting e-mails from this young Filipino gal in my private e-mail.
	And of course they were condolences, but they were coming in my private e-mail.
	Now I had thousands and thousands of condolences that came in my public e-mails.
	But how in the world could I be getting these private e-mails from a young Filipino gal on the other side of the world?
	I couldn't figure it out and for a long time I was in too much shock to even ask.
	Anyway, it developed into one of those things that went on for months and finally we ended up doing video conferences and I don't know, it's just, it's one of those things.
	Months went by and I decided the only... I just fell for this gal, and she fell for me.
	The way it happened, anyway, to cut all this short, is a very good friend of mine, Carl Richardson, who was engaged at that point to Aaron's sister, is now married to Aaron's sister, and she's back in the US, knew how In what a dark place I was and so he asked Sharon, Aaron's sister, to ask Aaron to write to me.
	That's how it all began and at that point Aaron was about to graduate from college and in fact I attended her graduation from college.
	I was actually there when she graduated.
	I decided the only real way to know was to go to the Philippines.
	And so as you well know, I did.
	I went to the Philippines and I met her.
	And everything that I thought was true turned out to be completely true.
	And I knew she was a young gal, way too young, but nevertheless at this point we're in love.
	And so we married.
	And I stayed in the Philippines.
	I was there for what, about eight months, something like that.
	And as I mentioned to that caller, it certainly is a May, December 31st relationship.
	But love has a way of just bridging the gap ever so neatly.
	And so we kind of never think about it.
	I thought about it very heavily and I counseled her heavily against the whole idea but she pressed and pressed and pressed and here we are.
	So it was a tragic and then a very happy year and it may be a very blessed year ahead.
	She's quite a gal.
	I wish I could tell you more and I really could tell you more but I just I guess that's it.
	Let's look at the Remaining, probably Bonks.
	Let's take a good look.
	119.
	Robert from Massachusetts.
	Government will announce that in the event of calamity, it is not responsible for its citizens.
	That would be a bad move, Bonk.
	120.
	Charlie in Florida says, proof of the creator revealed.
	Well, not positive proof.
	121.
	Margaret from Massachusetts.
	Virgin Mary will appear in person in Bayside, New York.
	People believe it.
	I'm going to bonk that with a question mark.
	I hadn't heard it.
	122.
	Wade from Oregon.
	Blu-ray disc beats HD DVD in the new format war.
	I'm not sure that's occurred, but I'm going to give that a tentative ding.
	Certainly, I think Blu-ray has the edge, and I wish it would hurry up and get out.
	123.
	Race war between Mexican-Americans and African-Americans.
	It creates media frenzy.
	Thank God that's a bonk.
	124.
	Steve from California.
	Jet stream changes course and wreaks havoc with Southern California.
	A bonk.
	125.
	Dan from British Columbia, Canada.
	Caller's recurring dream, he cuts down trees with a chainsaw to prevent the public from getting to him, possibly because of bird flu hysteria.
	Bonk.
	126.
	Rich from Washington.
	Conflict with Mexico sparks most devastating year in U.S.
	history.
	Bonk.
	And 127, mad cow disease will be found in our milk.
	Huh.
	Huh.
	I think that's a bonk, but I'm not sure.
	128, tsunami.
	Ding, ding, ding, there was a tsunami.
	So, in fact, there were several.
	So that'll be a ding.
	Thank goodness.
	One, anyway.
	129.
	Comet hits Earth in spring of 06.
	Ensuing cloud of gas essentially turns us into rabid zombies.
	And that would be a definite bonk.
	And that also, being 129, is the last prediction for 2006.
	is the last prediction for 2006. In a moment we will return to predictions for 2007.
	Okay, my board op advises me that prediction 123, a race war between Mexican Americans
	and African Americans, it creates media frenzy, is perhaps dingable. I am not sure.
	I didn't ding it, but he says that in Southern California, there has been a lot of that going on between gangs, and it is hitting the media in Southern California.
	A localized ding, but certainly not on a national scale.
	So, that's the first one that gets a localized ding and a national bonk.
	We're about to go back to, well, no, let's just do it.
	Back to predictions.
	My goodness, look at this.
	A wild card line for a Mafia.
	Mike, somebody I know right here in Pahrump.
	You're on the air.
	Ready, Art?
	Ready.
	Here we go.
	My prediction for you, my friend.
	For me?
	For you.
	Personal prediction.
	Okay.
	In the year 2007, God Almighty himself will speak directly to you, Art.
	The creator of the cosmos, the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob will speak to you directly And reveal to you directly, my friend, your final destiny.
	Well?
	The final revelation.
	That would be, uh, that would be something I would really look forward to, Mike, so I'm gonna, I'm gonna hope it's a ding.
	And it will be confirmed to you by your wife, Erin.
	Well, I'll look forward to that as well.
	Good to hear your voice again, my friend.
	The baked potatoes?
	Uh, ready.
	My wife Tamara says anytime you want them, give them a call.
	They're on the way.
	Okay.
	You take care.
	She's, uh, she is, it's a darnedest thing.
	That's not part of the Filipino diet.
	And one baked potato and now, I cannot, we cooked four baked potatoes tonight.
	And she just ravaged her way through, I think, two or possibly three of them.
	I know I had one.
	So how many are left, I'll have to go out and check.
	But she is in love, in love with baked potatoes.
	East of the Rockies.
	Tony, you're on the air from New York.
	Yes, I are.
	Welcome back to the good old USFA.
	Thank you, sir.
	I have a prediction related to the upcoming Super Bowl.
	I believe that an AFC team will win the Super Bowl.
	And I'll go as far as to say that I believe it's the Baltimore Ravens.
	Okay.
	Okay.
	And it's a Super Bowl.
	It's 25% psychic and maybe 75% educated, Kenneth.
	Well, okay.
	As long as at least one quarter of it is psychic, I'll record it.
	It's prediction number 104.
	Okay.
	Okay, thank you, and good luck, I guess, to Baltimore as well.
	Let's go to San Diego and say, yo, Chris, you're on the air.
	Hello, Art.
	Happy New Year.
	And please know, we have felt the difference between you not living in our country and you being here.
	It's great to have you back.
	Thank you.
	I don't fully understand it, but I tell you, I've had nothing less than 2,000 emails saying exactly the same thing.
	It was interesting.
	Earlier, I listened to a show that I had done in the Philippines, you know, a repeat, before we came on live, and I thought I sounded exactly the same.
	In fact, I marveled at the quality of the audio, and yet thousands of emails are just Saying it's incredible to have you back, now everything feels right and I don't fully understand it, but there you are.
	I have, I think, a good prediction.
	Okay.
	I am going to predict that sometime in 2007, oceanic research groups will be successful with political decisions and research methods in increasing the The amount of fish in the ocean by at least 2% in all the bodies of water, you know, worldwide.
	At least by 2%.
	Well, that would certainly be a wonderful prediction, because otherwise, the scientists are saying now, if nothing changes in the next 50 years, all the fish will be gone.
	And I'm not picturing that, and I know coast-to-coast listeners are not picturing that, and I really feel Humanity can, we can learn.
	We can learn before tragedy occurs and I want to say Happy New Year and I will be listening to your show.
	Okay, you take care and thank you very much and I hope your prediction comes true.
	Many of us, you know, I've got one in the cooker, as you well know, and I think we all want our children to have a decent world to live in.
	So that lays some responsibility on all of us to ensure that it is so.
	I guess we'll go to the first time caller line, Curtis in Windsor, Ontario.
	You're on the air.
	Hello, Art.
	How are you doing?
	Just fine.
	I'm going to make a little bit of a prediction that goes against global warming.
	I'm almost starting to believe it because we have no snow coming into Christmas, coming into New Year's, nothing but rain.
	It was 14 degrees today, so my prediction I'm going to make is that it'll snow on Christmas Day here in Windsor, Ontario next year.
	Or in 2007.
	Well, is that a prediction or is that a hope?
	Maybe a bit of both.
	Do you believe global warming is real, or do you think it's just a fabrication?
	Well, after, what was it, 38,000 football fields?
	That chunk of, or that ice shelf that broke off of Staten Island?
	Right.
	I'd have to say I believe it when you start hearing stuff like that.
	Yeah, and just the fact that these dry Christmases, even like I'm formerly from Alberta, like Northern Alberta, and I remember a thunderstorm on Christmas Day in Northern Alberta, which is basically unheard of.
	It's beginning to change quickly, sir, and there aren't many doubters anymore.
	I appreciate the call.
	Thank you very much.
	Your prediction, by the way, was 106.
	Let's go east to Bernard in Atlanta, Georgia.
	Bernard, you're on the air.
	Yes, hey Art.
	How you doing?
	Just fine.
	I believe Delta and U.S.
	Air will merge this year.
	Delta and U.S.
	Air merge?
	Right.
	Okay.
	How are you getting this?
	Do you have some... I mean, is this just a feeling?
	Yeah.
	I think there probably is going to be some consolidation and merging of U.S.
	airlines and what that will mean eventually is going to be higher fares.
	Yes.
	Okay, it is recorded officially.
	Thank you very much.
	Okay.
	And with that we go to the International Line and Brenda in Calgary, Alberta.
	Happy New Year Art to you and Aaron.
	Thank you so much.
	It's ironic, last year I was 107 too.
	Well, you're not 107, you're gonna be 108.
	Oh, well, close.
	And you gave me a bing and a bong.
	Oh.
	Oh, really?
	Yeah.
	What did you predict?
	I predicted a drought and a major find in the Coral Castle area.
	Uh-huh, that's right.
	Well, we certainly did have drought.
	In North America.
	I don't know about Crawl Castle, though.
	I think that was the bonk part.
	Yeah, that was the bonk.
	I was hoping, but it didn't come about yet.
	All right, well then, good.
	What do you, 108, what have you got?
	Okay, first of all, congratulations on the forthcoming birth of your baby daughter.
	Oh, it'll be a daughter, you think, huh?
	Oh yeah.
	Let me tell you.
	She was conceived in Hong Kong.
	Oh, okay.
	Oh, we know.
	Hong Kong, no question about it.
	And her name will be Asia.
	Oh, awesome name.
	I like that.
	Well, it works.
	And she's going to be the apple of her daddy's eye.
	Oh boy, would she be.
	Spoiled rotten too.
	Yeah, I know.
	My prediction for this coming year of 2007 is not going to be one of the best ones that you've heard.
	It is going to be a lot of trouble with the markets this year due to the federal government's new regulations for the truckers.
	When you say markets, you mean financial markets, right?
	Financial, yes.
	Okay, and it's because of trucking?
	Yes.
	The federal governments have regulated the truckers and limited their time frame of being able to drive in one time span.
	That's true.
	Yep.
	And so everything's going to get slowed down, shelves are going to start getting empty, and they're going to all of a sudden realize that everything that comes into the stores at one point in time comes by a truck.
	Very interesting.
	Very interesting prediction.
	Thank you.
	You're welcome, and take care, and a big hi and welcome to North America to Aaron.
	Yes, indeed.
	Thank you very much.
	Well, can you imagine coming from near the equator, from where she has come from, which is basically way out in the sticks, Boy, I'll tell you, she had a little bit of decompression going to Manila but then ending up in America.
	Four days in America.
	What must it feel like?
	I can only begin to guess.
	Of course, I'm a world traveler, but having spent the time that I did in the Philippines, I can imagine What she's going through, and it should be interesting.
	Rusty, in Millbrae, California, you're on the air, and perhaps the last.
	Well, I wish you a very happy and prosperous New Year.
	Thank you.
	And I've had four situations where I've had dreams about some prediction, and all four have come true.
	And last week, I had a dream about a small missile carrying chemicals that resembled gas fumes.
	And it explodes over a small area where I'm at.
	In California?
	In the San Francisco Bay Area.
	Oh boy.
	I hope I'm wrong on that.
	Do you feel like it would be a terrorist action?
	In other words, it's not another country launching on us, is it?
	I don't feel that it is a terrorist action.
	I think it's a country.
	That would seem to be insane.
	Because if we determined that a nation state launched a chemical attack on a U.S.
	city, we would, without question, I think, retaliate with nuclear weapons.
	And we have so many that we would turn whoever it is into dust.
	A huge parking lot.
	Yes, indeed.
	Alright, your prediction, sir, is number 109, and I sure hope it's wrong.
	Me too.
	Take care, sir.
	You have a wonderful night, and take care, and I want to take this opportunity to thank all of you in so many different ways for, I don't know, I guess bearing with me through the last year, which has been just a horrible year, and then a wonderful year, and hopefully a joyful year ahead.
	That's something to look forward to.
	And I hope all of you out there have a joyful year ahead.
	So, there's the sound of Crystal.
	That's Crystal Gale, and she just sets the right mood.
	It's just so very perfect.
	From the High Desert, I'm Art Bell.
