Time	Text
	From the high desert and the great American Southwest, I bid you all good evening, good morning, good afternoon, whatever the case may be, wherever you are around the world, in all those time zones, each and every one, covered by this program, Coast to Coast AM, the largest program of its type in the world.
	I'm Art Bell, this night filling in for George Norrie, who is off on a week of vacation.
	I have no idea where he went.
	If he's smart, he didn't tell anybody.
	Anyway, it's great to be here.
	Tonight, we will do Predictions for 2008, Part 2, coming up shortly.
	The photograph on the website tonight, and everybody keeps asking me, how do you get to it?
	How do you get to it?
	I can't find it.
	Go to www.coasttoacoastam.com.
	Go right to the very top of the website, and you will see, in the middle, not over on the left, but in the middle on the top, Art's webcam.
	Art Bell's webcam.
	Something like that.
	Click on it tonight, you will see Little Asia.
	Sorry folks, you knew I'd do this, right?
	Little Asia in her baptismal dress.
	We couldn't resist.
	That's the dress she was baptized in, as a new little Catholic.
	And I sure would like to thank Julie Nichols, that's Ramona's mom, for sending that dress.
	She sent that dress, and that is indeed the dress that Asia was baptized in.
	What an event that was.
	Oh my.
	Anyway, we're going to... I've got a couple of corrections to last night's.
	Actually, we did a little better than we thought.
	Why?
	Because, remember, number 51, major serial killer found.
	And I... bonk it.
	But, in fact, there was a serial killer found.
	A major serial killer.
	I will not read his name.
	But he was already in jail and confessed to a lot of killings back in the 70s.
	I think it was the 70s.
	Let me see.
	63-year-old Timothy something or another.
	I won't read that.
	This month he confessed to many murders which took place between 1977 and 1982.
	So, we're going to correct that one and there's one other that I wish to correct.
	Also, moving from a bonk to a ding, ding, ding would be the one on NASA.
	Remember that?
	In fact, the first one, NASA loses somebody, and I bonked that thinking that it would have to be in space, but indeed, if you recall, The love triangle, NASA did indeed lose somebody, so we'll turn that into a ding ding ding, and we will continue reading these hours.
	In fact, we'll finish reading the predictions made for 2007.
	Now, they could have been better, but the second half does come out a little better than the first half.
	Now, rules for predicting.
	Easy.
	No pros.
	Well, unless you can get through on the lines like everybody else.
	In other words, no remote viewers, no professional psychics, just all of you.
	And as I maintained last night and do tonight too, all of you are a special breed.
	Anybody who listens to this program probably has a bit more psychic insight than the average, I would hope.
	One and only one prediction per customer.
	As you give it, I will assign it a number.
	At the end of the program, we will lock away all these predictions in the Bell Family Vault, and they will be taken out next year, and, well, you can either rejoice or repent.
	No predictions of domestic assassinations.
	That's a hard rule.
	Reason for that?
	Somebody inevitably calls up and says, oh, somebody predicted the president will be assassinated on Art Bell's show, on Coast to Coast, whatever.
	And then, guys in suits with guns and attitudes, you know, they come.
	And I waste their time explaining, guys, look, it's a nationwide talk show.
	I'm sorry.
	No, we don't have the phone number of the person who did that.
	And they go away eventually.
	But it's no fun.
	Now, please, oh please, don't just call to say something.
	Try to pull from your inner psychic center.
	These are predictions, folks, not wishes, not hopes for a political outcome, not political statements, but psychic center predictions.
	And I will add this, as I did last night.
	Every year somebody calls and predicts, or many do, California will crack right down the line, fall into the sea, boosting the values of land here in Nevada, or the Pope's death is seen, or atomic war erupt, and one day these things may occur, but so far every year they've earned bonks.
	So, if you have to make that prediction, well I, you know, go ahead.
	But I advise against it.
	So if you, if you can sort of close your eyes, think really hard about something that inevitably is going to occur in 2008, then I want to hear from you.
	Here are the numbers.
	If you're west of the Rockies, 1-800-618-8255.
	1-800-618-8255.
	East of the Rockies, 1-800-825-5033.
	If you're a first timer, welcome at area code.
	The wildcard lines, many of those, area code 818, good chance to get through, 501-4109.
	And finally, the international line, if you're outside the country, 1-800-893-0903.
	818, good chance to get through, 501-4109.
	And finally, the international line, if you're outside the country, 1-800-893-0903.
	Now, with all of these lines, they are going to be online.
	I'm just going to pick them up.
	Let it ring until it's answered.
	So if you're calling a long distance line, as many of you will be, there's no charge until I pick up unscreened, open line predictions for 2008 coming up next.
	And so it begins, and it begins this night with number 59.
	That's number 59.
	Let's go to the international line and say, hello, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Hi.
	Where are you calling from, sir?
	Toronto, Canada.
	Toronto.
	All right.
	You no doubt have a prediction for us.
	I do, yes.
	Who am I speaking to?
	Art Bell.
	Oh, wow.
	Awesome.
	Yeah, you go straight on the air here.
	No screener.
	Very good, very good.
	Well, my name is John.
	My prediction is that there is going to be part of America that's going to break off and fall into the ocean.
	Now, nobody's going to get hurt.
	There's going to be a very large land mass.
	Which part of America, Mr. Canada?
	It's going to be part of Florida.
	Florida?
	Yes.
	I'm not quite sure.
	I actually had a dream, and I think it's been a dream.
	Yes.
	Absolutely not.
	I love America.
	Florida's awesome.
	ask you you want you got this is a honest an honest dream not a slam at
	America absolutely not I love America okay even put even that part of Florida
	that's going to drift away Florida's awesome we go there every winter you do
	uh we're Canadian Where else are we gonna go?
	Uh, I have no idea.
	Uh, how about Cuba?
	Uh, no, no thanks.
	You guys are allowed to go to Cuba, I think, right?
	Yes, we can go there.
	Well, we can't.
	Alright, do you have any idea which part of Florida, I mean the southern part, Miami on south, or what?
	Uh, I believe it's gonna be one of the islands that leads to Cuba.
	That's what it looked like because it has long bridges.
	Oh, okay.
	So just one of the keys?
	Yes.
	Okay.
	Well, that's not quite as serious as, say, the southern portion of Florida or something of that sort.
	No.
	All right.
	All right.
	Thank you very, very much.
	Number 59.
	I guess I can accept that.
	I thought that was some kind of slam, but apparently not.
	First time caller line, you are on the air.
	Good morning.
	Uh, yes.
	My name is Michael in Independence, Missouri.
	Hi, Michael.
	Hi there.
	How are you?
	I'm so honored to talk to you.
	I've listened to your program, but this is the first time I've tried to call in.
	No kidding.
	You have gotten me through the night so many times.
	I first heard your program when I had, believe it or not, I had a heart attack back in December of 1999.
	Wow.
	And I had gotten home, and of course I didn't want to sleep because I was feeling very mortal.
	And didn't want to waste time on sleep.
	Boy, I bet that's right.
	I bet after you have a heart attack, you just are sort of on pins and needles waiting for the next big one.
	You betcha.
	And of course, at that time, I was staying up late and happened to turn into broadcast.
	And of course, at that time, that was Y2K.
	And I remember everyone was stocking up for provisions because the world was coming to an end.
	At least we didn't kill you.
	Yes, yes, but I kept listening and suddenly something about your voice was very calming, relaxing, and just to hear you laugh was just a delight.
	And I stayed listening till midnight when it was going to switch over to 2000, and somehow when your voice came on the air, I knew everything was going to be alright.
	Because Art Bell was talking.
	So, everything was fine.
	You know, a lot of people say, boy, you really screwed up that Millennium thing, didn't you?
	Well, no, not really, because industry spent millions and millions of dollars preparing for it, and that's why there was no disaster.
	Exactly, exactly.
	Kind of makes you wonder why they didn't do things earlier, but maybe it takes something like that to kind of Shake people up.
	It did.
	Okay.
	You have any prediction?
	Oh, my prediction is, uh, uh, the government is going to be auctioning off a, um, a spectrum of, of frequencies.
	And my prediction is that Google is going to step in, buy this, come out with their
	rumored Google phone, and with their software, it's going to open up the complete internet
	and it will just be phenomenal.
	People will be making calls over the internet for practically nothing.
	Well, they're doing it now.
	They're doing it now, but with Google doing it and with their resources.
	No, no, no, wait a minute.
	You were talking about the government auctioning spectrum, which they do, radio and television
	spectrum, but the internet is not public spectrum.
	Exactly, exactly.
	But what I'm saying is this will give Google a foothold into the phone market and it's going to tie in with their search capabilities that they have.
	What I'm saying is it's the first step.
	I'll say.
	How about if Google Phone takes off?
	Right.
	There you go.
	Alright.
	You got it.
	And hope for that.
	And enjoy listening to your show.
	And probably George is in St.
	Louis.
	I'm guessing.
	That could be.
	But we won't talk about that.
	Google Phone.
	Now see, I didn't know they were coming out with a phone service.
	I wonder how many of you have wondered.
	Because I've wondered.
	There are a lot of very good phone services right now that utilize the Internet, right?
	So, how's the phone company going to survive?
	I've been trying to figure that one out for a long time.
	More and more people are making the move.
	More and more people are carrying wireless devices now.
	Once everything is wireless, people are going to make their phone calls over the internet, whether they're home or on the road, right?
	So what's going to happen to the phone company?
	Wildcard Line, you are on the air.
	Good morning.
	Hello, Art.
	Hi, sir.
	How are you?
	I'm fine.
	What's your first name, and where are you?
	I'm Bill from Toronto, Ontario.
	Okay.
	And I'd like to make a prediction, and first of all, Happy New Year to you.
	Very same to you.
	New Year's now, of course, on the East Coast, swinging toward the Midwest in a little better than an hour.
	Yeah.
	Okay, you ready for my prediction?
	No, wait a minute, I just screwed that up.
	It's already in the Midwest, headed toward the mountain states now.
	All right, number 61, go ahead.
	61, it's a business prediction, and I think a lot of people will make this, but I'm going to predict research in motion.
	The makers of the BlackBerry will hit $2 billion in sales revenue in 2008.
	Wow.
	BlackBerry, $2 billion sales in, wow.
	Luxury, two billion sales in, wow. 2008, yeah. Okay.
	Yes, okay.
	I've got it.
	Do you have one?
	No, I would like to.
	My rate would be way too high.
	I just use a cell phone, but I have used one.
	They're going into China, and I think they're going to make it, so I think that's my prediction.
	Okay.
	I very much appreciate it, sir.
	Thank you very much, and take care.
	I've got, when I was in the Philippines, we bought, here it is, Well, you can't see it.
	It's radio, right?
	You can't hear it close.
	I bought a Sony Ericsson iPhone.
	Kinda neat.
	When you use this phone in the Philippines, you get to actually see the person you're talking to.
	Live.
	Live video.
	Right there on the phone.
	And of course, you can see yourself in a little square as well.
	And this phone also allows you to check your email.
	It allows you to browse the web as you wish.
	It's got a couple of keyboards, one flip out and the other one, another nice keyboard below.
	Of course, here in the U.S., I think, other than San Francisco, we're not equipped for this kind of two-way video thing yet, but it's very, very cool when you see it work.
	West of the Rockies, you are on the air.
	Hi.
	Hi.
	This is Neil in California.
	Hi, Neil.
	Hi.
	I can't believe I'm talking to you.
	Yes, you are.
	This is my first time calling.
	Do you remember when the space shuttle burned up coming in?
	Yes.
	Predominantly over Texas, I believe.
	Yeah, I knew that was going to happen about two weeks before.
	Doesn't count unless you said it.
	Yeah, and the thing is my father said just not to say anything because NASA would be right at my door.
	But I just knew something traumatic was going to happen.
	Well, they might have been at your door had you said it ahead of time and then it happened.
	Right, but I have a prediction there's going to be a huge earthquake here in Northern California.
	In Northern California?
	Yeah, this is going to be above a 9.0.
	It's going to happen in April.
	9.0, Northern California, okay.
	Why do you feel that, and how did you get that feeling?
	Well, it's always shaking here, but I just have premonitions, and they usually come true.
	But I really enjoy your show.
	How active has it been in the last year?
	We've had tremors, but nothing like in the 89.
	A lot of people think the small tremors prevent the big stuff.
	Yeah, but the faults up here are pretty big.
	Yes, they are.
	All right, thank you very, very much for the call, and take care.
	A 9-pointer in Northern California.
	Now, normally we get these for Southern California.
	East of the Rockies, where it's probably already the New Year, you're on the air.
	How you doing there, Art?
	I'm fine, sir.
	Where are you?
	I am in South Florida, Boca Raton.
	Well, it certainly is the New Year there.
	It sure is.
	I do have a prediction for you.
	It's a political prediction.
	Number 63 it shall be.
	You got it.
	I believe the Democratic nominee, there will be another Clinton sex scandal.
	This will involve Hillary and a female staffer.
	In effect, it will hand over the presidency to Mitt Romney.
	Really?
	Yes.
	If the first Clinton sex scandal didn't effectively hand over the presidency to anybody else, why would you think this one would?
	I think there'll be so much backlash and so much public attention to not want to return back to that past, to that time, that I think people are just going to want to change and I believe that they're going to vote against her because of it.
	Wouldn't that be kind of a, I don't know, double standard?
	You would think it would be, but you know, like I said, politics is not really a fair game, unfortunately.
	All right.
	Thank you very, very much for the call.
	And as I mentioned, it is number 63.
	That doesn't seem fair.
	In fact, one could make the case that she's got one coming.
	I suppose you shouldn't, but you could.
	West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Hey, good morning, Art.
	Good morning.
	Happy almost New Year.
	Is it for you?
	Well, not yet.
	Not yet.
	I guess, what, about an hour?
	All right.
	Your first name?
	I'm Debbie, and I'm calling from Denver.
	And my prediction is that this is a little bit vague, but this is all I got.
	They're going to find a cure.
	I don't know what for, I don't know who they are, but it feels like a big medical breakthrough.
	How did you come upon this?
	I heard it.
	You heard it?
	Yeah.
	Meaning a voice resonated in your head and said, they're going to find a cure.
	Is that what it was?
	Yeah, pretty much.
	One of those things that, you know, unless you've I worked with this stuff before.
	You might take it to be just sort of a wishful thought or a, you know, synaptic misfire, but it's beyond that.
	It's the voice in my head.
	Well, if they find a cure for some major disease, Debbie, you know, this would definitely be a ding.
	Well, um... When you heard this voice in your head, didn't you say, to what?
	No, I just thought, you know, I've got to remember to call Art and tell him.
	Well, you can't argue with disembodied voices, Debbie.
	Well, you know, I don't know that it was disembodied.
	Maybe it was just something that I was picking up on in the ethers that, you know.
	Well, that's disembodied.
	Well, non-local.
	Well, yeah.
	Yeah, and it could be that.
	Well, I hope it's for, I don't know, something really bad, MS, cancer, one of the biggies, Alzheimer's, something like that.
	Debbie, thank you very much for the call and the prediction.
	We will continue with more predictions after the top of the hour news.
	Always somewhat depressing to listen to the national and international news.
	Nevertheless, here it comes.
	I'm Art Bell.
	There I am.
	Well, if you didn't get a full dose of the headlines at the bottom of the hour, you'll get a full five minutes of news at the top.
	We were talking last night about why news and, in fact, the predictions we do are so negative.
	And it's just the nature of things, I guess.
	But it's actually, I think, worth doing an entire program on one day.
	And so I will do that.
	We will actually do a show on why negativity sells.
	And positive stuff doesn't.
	Great curiosity about that.
	All right, reviewing a few more of the predictions made last year, or returning to Bonkville, however you want to put it, George Bush announces that the ISS is in fact an embassy, the International Space Station.
	That's a big bonk.
	Number 62, Bush ratings dropped to 55% by November.
	Well, they're a lot lower than that.
	So I'll give that a ding.
	I'm gonna ding that one.
	63.
	Let's see.
	Rebuilding of Solomon's Temple.
	Well, not yet.
	Bonk.
	64.
	The CERN black hole swallows Earth.
	Bonk.
	Not yet.
	They're getting ready to turn on CERN, but it hasn't been turned on yet, so.
	65, one of the U.S.
	Supreme Court justices resigns because of a scandal.
	That's a definite bonk.
	Number 66, gold.
	See, they overdid it a little bit.
	Gold breaks $1,000.
	Now, I'm going to give this a ding just on... Oh, I don't know.
	Last year at this time, there wasn't even a hint.
	That gold was going to go soaring up toward $800, right?
	But it did.
	Didn't break $1,000, but just in the spirit of doing good, I'm going to give it a ding.
	Number 67, the grave of Genghis Khan is found.
	Bonk.
	I believe.
	Don't forget, you can correct me if I missed some important news during the year and got something wrong.
	You can correct me.
	68 crop circles on the White House lawn.
	Don't we wish.
	Bonk.
	69, the U.S.
	government taxes internet gambling.
	Bonk.
	70, Jimmy Carter negotiates a treaty with North Korea.
	Bonk.
	71.
	In February, a giant solar flare hits.
	Now I'm not sure about that one.
	I'm going to tentatively bonk it, but we could have had a big solar flare.
	72.
	A large earthquake in an unlikely area.
	Ding, ding, ding, ding.
	Number 73, a new kind of music based on whales.
	I thought that was a very unique prediction, nevertheless it bonks.
	And 74, June 6th at 3.58 p.m.
	will bring a large earthquake in the Philippines.
	Bonk.
	Okay, we'll stop there for now and pick it up with number 75 as we continue to review what was not that great a year.
	We'll be right back.
	All right, folks.
	Once again, predictions for 2008.
	Wildcard Line, you are on the air.
	Good morning.
	Good morning, Art.
	Happy New Year.
	And the very same to you.
	Where are you and what's your first name?
	My name's Justin.
	I'm calling from New Jersey.
	All right, Justin.
	All right, Art.
	I have a prediction for 2008.
	Yes, sir.
	I hope you're not offended by it.
	Sorry.
	I predict that Art Bell will once again return to be a regular host on Coast to Coast AM.
	Art Bell returns to Coast to Coast.
	Well, look, one thing I've learned over the years, and I said it this last retirement, is to never say never.
	So, I'll leave it at that.
	Never say never, okay?
	Alright, number 65, I return to Coast to Coast AM on a regular basis.
	Of course, I've had many, many, many, many requests of that sort, but what I'm doing, folks, is, you know, spending time with my family.
	My new daughter, who, by the way, Don't miss that photograph.
	She's really something.
	And my wife and my, I don't know, I guess second chance at life.
	And so that's kept me pretty well occupied, I would say.
	And I'm very proud and very happy and you only get one shot.
	Life is short.
	After I lost Ramona, that's the one thing that the The coroner told me that I'll never forget.
	Life is short, and so live it.
	And I pass that advice along to all of you.
	Life is short, live it.
	Back to the phone lines.
	East of the Rockies, you are on the air.
	Hello.
	Hey, Art.
	960 WELI.
	Yes, sir.
	Calling from... Oh, Happy New Year.
	And the very same to you.
	My prediction, and I hope the FBI doesn't come see me.
	Oh, no, no, no, wait a minute.
	No, it's no, no, no, no.
	They're not going to come see you.
	They'll come see me.
	Oh.
	Okay, I had this in a dream.
	You know how everybody lines up in front of Disney World, like at 9 o'clock in the morning?
	Yeah.
	Like hundreds of people waiting to come in.
	Yeah.
	Outside the park.
	Somebody's going to show up there with a gun, just like one of these school shootings, and shoot about 50 people.
	Uh, and it's going to be there for sure or a place like that?
	I see, I see Disney World.
	I see the parking lot.
	I see the tram.
	I guess, I think it's going to be some wacky kid with a rifle.
	What's going on in the world anyway?
	You know, people, people, people, I know what it is.
	People can't afford the technology and stuff and people just are unhappy.
	And it's expensive to have a girlfriend.
	Life is expensive, period.
	But that's not a justification for picking up a rifle and killing a whole bunch of people and then generally committing suicide at the end of it.
	Yeah, that is... I have no answers for it.
	I have no answers for it, Art.
	I don't either.
	Thank you very much for the call.
	But school shootings, these mass shootings that we have, I guess that's, you know, we've done that topic before and we've never really come up with a, you know, a firm answer.
	But I wonder.
	All right.
	Let's go to the international line.
	You're on the air.
	Hello?
	Hello.
	Turn your radio off, please.
	Right away.
	Radio off.
	There you go.
	First name?
	Dan.
	Location, Dan?
	San Francisco.
	You're on my international line.
	Oh, well.
	All right.
	Number 67.
	You've got some sort of prediction, I suppose.
	Of course.
	Fire away.
	Well, I'm predicting Osama bin Laden will call it end of jihad and bring the religions of the world together again.
	Believe it or not.
	I'm sorry to be laughing, but Well, I was laughing when I dreamt it.
	I mean, this is a man who basically is saying to the rest of the world's religions, either convert or die.
	But the dream and the prediction is that he's going to have a complete turnaround.
	Okay.
	And unite the religions of the world.
	As odd as it seems, you know.
	You're right.
	It does seem odd.
	That was my dream.
	Alright, so in what way would he, even if he called for an end of the Jihad, how would he unite the rest of the religions?
	Any idea?
	Well, he first of all would unite the factions of Islam that are fighting.
	He'll bring them all together and it will kind of go back to like the 11th century when Islam Well, yeah, but historically, we've all killed each other over religion.
	Okay, all right, well, I've got it listed as number 67, and I appreciate your call.
	historically we've all killed each other over religion. But that's where it's
	gonna change, you know. I don't know if it's gonna come true, it's just a
	prediction. Okay, all right, well I've got it listed as number 67 and I appreciate
	your call. Osama calls for the end to the jihad and and then furthermore unites all
	the rest of the world's religions.
	Wouldn't that be something?
	Wow, Cardline, you're on the air.
	Good morning.
	Hi.
	Liza Minnelli will die this year.
	That's my prediction.
	Okay.
	How did these things come to you?
	Well, she collapsed on stage in Europe.
	And, uh, she had to be flown back here for treatment, and she's so messed up on booze and pills, I don't think she's gonna make it through this year.
	Okay.
	Got it.
	Thank you very much.
	And take care.
	I hope not.
	Um, I don't like those kind of predictions.
	But, uh... But!
	It was not an assassination prediction, so I'll take it easy to the Rockies.
	You're on the air.
	Good morning.
	Is this Art Bell?
	It is.
	Hey Art, this is, uh, my name is Andrew.
	I'm from Brandon, Mississippi.
	Yes, Andrew.
	And, uh, man, you saved my life.
	I did.
	I just wanted to tell you that, uh, I just served some recent time in prison.
	Oh, and, uh, we picked your show up on the radio.
	We had little headsets, you know, and a guy that I met in there turned me on to your show.
	He said he'd been listening to it for years.
	Yeah, you just would not believe how many letters I get from guys in the joint.
	And he's probably listening right now.
	I just want to say hi to Kenny J. And, uh, man, it's an honor to talk to you.
	And if I could make a suggestion, I would love to hear another episode with Fred Bell.
	Oh, Fred Bell.
	Dr. Fred Bell.
	Been a long time.
	Right.
	Out of, uh, I think he's out of California somewhere, but, uh, he was just a real wild guy and I really enjoyed listening to him.
	He's a wild guy, all right.
	I really enjoy your program, Art.
	Okay, well, thank you.
	Do you have a prediction?
	I don't have a prediction for the new year.
	I just hope that everybody can get along and maybe we can make this one better than the last.
	Well, that's as good a wish as any.
	Thank you.
	Thank you, Art.
	Thank you and take care for everybody to get along.
	I guess in jail they allow radios in the cells and a lot of prisoners appear to be up late at night.
	I don't know how regulated their days are, but boy, do I get a lot of, just tons of letters from guys in jail.
	And I would think it would be a great comfort.
	Talk radio.
	I mean, as I've mentioned many times before, driving, or I suppose sitting in a cell, you can only listen to music so long.
	And then after a while, the beat just becomes repetitive and tiring and uninteresting and certainly not stimulating.
	But talk radio.
	Oh, baby.
	An entirely different story.
	Theater of the mind.
	And you can sort of get yourself wrapped up in a very good interview.
	And it will stimulate you, and you will make it through commercial sets, and you'll make it through newscasts, and you'll stick with it to find out what comes next.
	Instead of the next platter.
	West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Good morning.
	Yes, hello.
	I have a prediction about Iran, that if they don't have a nuclear weapon right now, they will very soon.
	And it's not so much what they're going to do with it, but who they give it to.
	And we will all find out sometime this year.
	Well, I know that Russia is currently assisting them in constructing a nuclear reactor.
	In fact, I think they're about to ship the nuclear fuel to Iran, and we're trying to get them not to do it.
	But if they do get a reactor going, eventually, of course, they'll have enough high grade to construct a bomb.
	And you're absolutely right.
	It's very unlikely that Iran or any other country Would directly attack this country with a nuclear weapon, but they would give it to somebody who would.
	Yes.
	That's what I was thinking myself.
	And, uh, well, they don't have a good, uh, you know, look at a Democrat.
	He could give it to anybody.
	Um, and so it could be a real problem.
	We'll all find out sometime.
	That's my prediction.
	Number 69.
	Okay, and my name is Maxine from California.
	Okay, Maxine says that they're going to get a nuke and they're going to give it to some unsavory group who will do something bad with it, no doubt here.
	Or perhaps Israel.
	And that is something I too feel we're eventually going to face.
	And how we face it and how we do Will define, I think, our future.
	I predict probably not that well.
	Wildcard Line, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Hey Art, this is Blair in Sedona, Arizona.
	Hey Blair.
	Hey, I think that Zawi Hawass, the Egyptian Director of Antiquities, will sort of relent a bit and think that maybe the Sphinx is closer to 15,000 years old.
	Really?
	thousand years old. Really? Yeah. Boy he is just really stuck on on the age of
	that and who who made it so.
	Well, I went to a psychic collection a couple nights ago.
	I ran an HDT camera for a friend of mine, and I was hearing all the psychics, and one psychic mentioned that, and I said, you know, that sounds pretty plausible, because he did visit Sedona last year, around late August, And there are some people who believe there's a similar energy going on here in Sedona now.
	That happened in the Giza Plateau, and so maybe he got a little zapped by a little Sedona vortex energy.
	Yeah, maybe.
	Maybe, Blair.
	All right.
	Prediction number 70 is what it was.
	Well, Happy New Year.
	Very same to you.
	And again, to a wild card line, you are... Well, wait a minute.
	Wait till I get this straightened out.
	Let's see.
	I think I can do it this way.
	You're on the air.
	Oh, hello, Art!
	Hello, sir!
	Happy New Year!
	Same to you.
	Where are you?
	I'm, uh, South Texas.
	Okay.
	No, this is Chris in South Texas.
	Okay, Chris.
	W-O-A-I.
	W-O-A-I.
	The Monster on 1200.
	Yes, sir.
	All right, I guess you want a prediction, don't you?
	I do.
	All right, uh, let's see.
	I predict that, uh, That Pakistan is going to lose a nuclear sub for a couple days.
	Or one of their subs.
	I don't know if it's nuclear or not.
	One of the biggest worries that we all might have is that Pakistan loses a nuclear device and or a nuclear submarine and it falls into the hands of somebody we don't want it to fall into.
	Yes sir.
	You want to go beyond that?
	Do you have any idea what they would do with whoever it is would do with a submarine?
	I think they're just going to lose it for a couple days and it's going to be a big stink about it and it's going to recover.
	I don't think anything bad is going to happen.
	All right, that would be number 71.
	Thank you very much.
	We had some echo there.
	Yeah, if Pakistan were to actually lose a submarine and then admit it, particularly after what's just occurred there, Oh, gosh.
	There'd be a lot of worry until it was found, huh?
	Wildcard Line, you're on the air.
	Hello?
	Hello, how you doing?
	Uh, just fine, sir.
	Your first name and location?
	Okay, this is John from Long Island.
	I called you up yesterday, I spoke with you, and... John, I'm going to have to cut you off, buddy.
	One call allowed only, period.
	Just one.
	No changes.
	You're not allowed to change your prediction, modify it, add another one, or say another word.
	A lot of people are trying to get through, so to allow you on would be very, very unfair.
	First time caller line, you're on the air.
	Yeah, I'd like to share... Yes, turn your radio off, please.
	Yep, it's off.
	I'd like to share a psychic prediction.
	Okay.
	There's going to be a new market in 08 that's going to make the middle class rich.
	A new market?
	Yep, like a financial market.
	And in 08 and 09, it's going to go strong, and then there's going to be some kind of something that interrupts it, but then it will come back.
	Okay, I'm trying to understand what form a new market... Like maybe, I don't know if it's like a barter system or something like that where the middle class and lower middle class help each other more.
	All right, well that's actually very interesting.
	All right, your prediction is number 72.
	And it is a unique prediction indeed, a new kind of market, maybe barter, makes the middle class rich.
	Well, why not?
	We'll be right back.
	Here I am, we're taking predictions for 2008, now racing from the Mountain States, happy new year there, toward the Pacific Coast, and me, here in the high desert, and all of you out west.
	Should be quite a celebration in Las Vegas, just over the hill from me.
	Every year I have been doing exactly what I'm doing right now, and I've always missed the celebration in Las Vegas.
	And I understand it's really something.
	Perhaps one of these years.
	Alright, if you have a good, psychically centered prediction, call me.
	If you don't, Don't.
	Allow those who really have received the real thing to get through.
	In a moment, we continue.
	All right, back to the phones, back to your predictions, and tonight is indeed the last opportunity to record a numbered prediction.
	And we do assign each one a number.
	East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Hi.
	Well, happy New Year to you, Mr. Art Bell.
	Thank you, same to you.
	This is Russ Cohen from Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada.
	All right, Russ.
	Well, I predict there's going to be major, major crop circle activity across Canada, preferably in the prairies, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, and probably during the solstice season, heavy duty along the solstice days.
	Why do you think Canada?
	Well, there's been a few of them, I think.
	I haven't had access to a computer lately, but we have lots of wheat fields around here, and there's been lots of UFO sightings, and recently on one of the shows, I think George was talking with... No, it was Ian.
	He was talking about Carmen, Manitoba, way back in 1975.
	There was the bouncing red balls.
	A lot of missile silos that they're trying to shut down during the Vietnam era or whatever.
	Well, I remember a lot about the missiles, but crop circles have been, oh, some in Canada, but not too many.
	Yeah, no, it's going to be heavy duty and they're going to be spectacular.
	And I was just wondering, there is the face of Chilbolton and the alien face with the binary disk.
	At Crabwood Farm.
	I'm just wondering if those were real or if those were faked or not.
	Well, I don't recall the report on them, but I've got your prediction for Canada certainly listed as number 73.
	So, you know, I would say good luck, but that's probably the wrong term.
	Wildcard Line, you're on the air.
	Hi.
	Hello.
	Hello.
	Hi.
	Hi.
	Who is this?
	Art Bell.
	Oh, hi, Art.
	How are you?
	Just spiffy, dear.
	Where are you and what's your first name?
	My name's Catherine.
	I'm calling from Northern California.
	Okay, Catherine.
	I've called the last couple years and have bonks each time.
	Oh, I'm sorry.
	That's okay, but it's because I've had more mundane news to convey, but I've set that aside for more interesting news.
	You just need to get deeper into your psychic center.
	Well, yeah.
	I thought this time I would just tell you the first thing that came to me.
	Okay.
	So, what it is, is this time I had a vision of tree death across the United States, and I think it's some kind of microorganism that is affecting the roots of all the trees, and I've just seen forests dying across the United States, probably in the fall and later part of next year, 2008, and I know that's dismal news, and I know you've had a lot of depressing predictions this year, but I can't help it.
	Well, they're depressing every year.
	Yeah, I know they are.
	But no one wants to hear happy news like my cat's going to be, I don't know, a prize winner or something.
	Well...
	If it was, if it was, you know, national good news.
	Yes.
	Maybe not about your cat or my cat, but if it was national, you know, good news.
	Well, I think that most of our psychic predictions are actually on a smaller scale and ring true.
	It's hard to have national predictions or worldwide predictions, but most of us who have predictions experience them on a smaller scale.
	Why do you think, Catherine, that negativity sells so well?
	I think that it's because it makes a greater impression on us.
	I think that's the only reason.
	It's like we tend to remember our bad dreams longer than we remember our happy dreams.
	That's true.
	Yeah.
	That's true.
	I've been doing a lot of dreaming lately.
	I know, I heard that.
	The nicotine thing.
	That's right.
	And by the way, thank you Catherine.
	I made it through last night without getting anywhere near a cigarette and thus far tonight I'm doing just fine, so I really do think I've passed some kind of barrier.
	For those who didn't hear last night, as you know, had you listened to earlier programs, I quit smoking some time ago and went to nicotine gum.
	I found I was then hooked on nicotine gum and occasionally I'd find myself chewing nicotine gum and smoking a cigarette and I said, this has got to stop.
	So, I went down the Shantex Trail, and boy does that stuff cause you to dream.
	Oh my!
	But when I went back to it, I noticed, yes, I'm still dreaming like crazy, but pretty much good dreams.
	I would say I would say 19 out of 20 dreams are good.
	So very few bad dreams.
	And I guess I can put up with the theater of the night time as long as it keeps me away from nicotine, which thus far, I must admit, it has.
	So if you're looking for a way to quit, Chantex is a doctor prescribed thing.
	And it blocks the nicotine receptors in your brain and it really works.
	Wild Card Line, you're on the air.
	Hello?
	Yes, sir.
	Yes, hello.
	Hi.
	Yes.
	Turn your radio off, please.
	Okay.
	I've been pressing readout for a few times there.
	Okay.
	Yes.
	Is that better now?
	Yes, it is.
	Your first name and where are you?
	Do I have to give my real name?
	No, whatever.
	Is that Dave?
	Dave in Canada.
	All right, make note.
	We've got the crew on the way now.
	It's Dave in Canada.
	So we're going to have to grab Dave in Canada and grill him but good.
	All right, Dave.
	You have a prediction?
	Well, basically, it's a positive one.
	Yeah, I feel that people are going to wake up to the truth.
	You know, it's quite obvious.
	With the advent of the internet and people putting things together that are obvious, people are going to see that.
	Dave, what is the truth?
	Well, you know, these conspiracies, it's all rooted in one common thing.
	And it's um... And what is that?
	Well, can I release a website address? No. No, no, no.
	Um, you know, the...
	No.
	Just tell me, you said the truth and the conspiracy theories that are all rooted in one thing.
	People are going to wake up to the reality that the reptilians are real, UFOs are real, all of this, and 9-11, all of this.
	And free energy suppression, and it's all going to come together, yeah.
	So you've never met a conspiracy theory you don't like?
	There's a few that don't make sense, such as, like, all of this needs a major overhaul, you know?
	Like, there was a plane that did go into the Pentagon, and, you know, the Disclosure Project did have a few witnesses that were, you know, not quite so credible.
	You know, if even just one of these people are telling the truth, it gives rise to a reason for us to all come together, and to bring love over power, and to take back our world, because it's so simple.
	I see an analogy, like that song in the Spanish Train.
	All of the people of the world are in this one train, and we all need to bring the switch down.
	There's a switch on the train, and it takes all the people in the world to bring the switch down.
	But one person can't do it, and it's just so easy for us to all bring it down, and the train is made up of all the elites, the world leaders, you know, the Brotherhood, and it's We're going to go into a brick wall if we don't bring that switch down.
	It's very simple.
	Alright, Dave, I've got it.
	We can run this into a paradise if we just come together.
	It's great.
	UFOs, reptilians, 9-11 and probably many other conspiracy theories all to be proven true
	in 2008.
	Well, I must say the story the government is saying, they're telling in Pakistan is,
	appears to be a bunch of bunk.
	.
	And it looks very much to me as though Benazir Bhutto was shot.
	And they've got a recent clear video showing her head going forward, showing what she was wearing coming off.
	I mean, clearly she was shot.
	And the government didn't want to tell the story.
	Because that makes her a martyr.
	Whereas the apparently very small distinction of bumping your head on something interior in the car doesn't.
	So I've been kind of nauseated watching all of that going on.
	So, you know, these conspiracies do occur.
	First time caller line, you're on the air.
	Hi.
	Hi.
	This is Sherry.
	Hi, Sherry.
	Hi, I'm calling from...
	Glendora, California.
	Okay.
	My prediction is that there's going to be an outbreak of some sort of tuberculosis related illness.
	Okay.
	Kind of likened to what's going on with some of the tuberculosis that people cannot handle or that the medical doctors and such cannot handle right now because It cannot be treated.
	That would be a resistant form of TB.
	Some sort of a virus that cannot be treated by anything.
	Yeah, I'm a little worried that something like that is going to happen.
	And the reason I'm worried is the amount of population that we have.
	As you get an overbearing population, Mother Nature Mother Nature doesn't get angry.
	Mother Nature gets even.
	And so to balance the scales, Mother Nature inevitably will come up with something that will thin the herd a bit.
	True.
	So, kind of on another angle from that, I do not like to take inoculations or anything like flu shots because I'm afraid of that.
	But, maybe I should.
	So, I'm liking this.
	Well, did you get all the inoculations when you were young?
	Did your mom take you and get polio and all that?
	Yeah, yeah, she did.
	And I've been very healthy all my life.
	Yeah, there you are.
	So, but anymore can we believe and trust in it all.
	And I love you.
	I love you so much.
	I'm so happy to have you on the air.
	Thank you so very much and take care.
	And I kind of agree with this last prediction.
	I don't know that it's going to be tuberculosis, a resistant form of TB or whatever, but I do think some new germ, some new little thing, perhaps the bird flu, God I hope not, going to be doing a show on that incidentally, is inevitably going to sweep across the population with very serious results.
	Very, very worried about that and I think it's really population.
	Okay, let's go west of the Rockies.
	You're on the air.
	Good morning.
	Hi, good morning.
	Before I make my prediction, oh, my name's Albert.
	I'm in Northern California.
	I wanted to ask, are you going to be on the webcam tonight?
	I like the baby.
	She's cute.
	Well, yeah, I've got my baby up there.
	I don't know.
	We'll see.
	Okay.
	I just have a quick one.
	I just want to say I predict that the Reverend Billy Graham will die, probably of natural causes.
	Right.
	Well, he's had a good long life.
	I hope it goes on.
	How did this come to you?
	I've been feeling it for some time now, several weeks, that 2008 will be it for him.
	It's just an inner feeling.
	I guess we'll see what happens.
	Prediction number 77.
	Thank you.
	Thank you and take care.
	You too.
	Let's go, let's see, let's do that and that and now let's go to the wildcard line.
	Say you're on the air.
	Hi Art, my name is Tawny and I am calling from Sacramento, California.
	Right.
	And I have a prediction that the Mothman incidents will return Starting around the 4th of July and continuing through the end of the year in the Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia area.
	Really?
	Yes.
	July 4th?
	Yes.
	Why July 4th Annie?
	I had a dream that it was going to start happening then and I have had many years of having strange dreams that have come true.
	Is there any distinction, I've always wanted to ask this of somebody like yourself, between, and obviously not all the dreams you have come true, so is there a way you can know that, aha, I just had one that's a premonition?
	If I have them more than once, and also if they are very, very vivid and very, very clear, and like I said, if I have them more than And once then I know that, you know, something's up.
	Got it.
	All right.
	Thank you very, very much.
	Number 78.
	Great.
	Thank you so much, Art.
	And Happy New Year.
	Same to you.
	Take care.
	And once again to a wildcard line, you're on the air.
	Good morning.
	Yeah, this is Jeff from Pittsburgh.
	Hi, Jeff.
	Turn your radio off, please.
	Oh, I'm sorry, Art.
	I didn't realize I was on the air.
	Yeah, I have a...
	It's not a bad prediction.
	It's probably good for George.
	OK.
	Well, what happened was I fell asleep one night while Coast to Coast was on and I was dreaming along with the show.
	And anyhow, George is going to be George is going to be away somewhere and he's going to be there.
	And so is Linda Moulton Howe.
	And George is going to propose to her.
	And I see them getting married around this time next year.
	Really?
	And I think you're going to be filling in.
	Well, they would need some time, wouldn't they?
	Yeah.
	George and Linda Moulton Howe?
	Yeah.
	Wow.
	I'm going to have to do that one.
	They're going to be together, I don't know, doing some research or something.
	Uh-huh.
	Is that what they call it?
	Yeah.
	Yeah.
	Well, yeah, that kind of research, too.
	Oh, boy.
	Good one.
	And it's recorded now as prediction number 79.
	Is there anything... I mean, yeah, I want to know.
	How did this come to you?
	Well, I fell asleep with the show on.
	This was just this past, right before George went away on vacation.
	Was Linda a guest?
	No, she wasn't.
	I don't know how she entered into the dream, but, you know, for whatever reason, she did.
	And I remember I heard George saying something in my dream that He was, uh... You didn't see George.
	They were engaged and they were going to get married.
	So you didn't see George down on one knee looking up lovingly toward Linda?
	No.
	Okay, well, we'll leave it at that.
	Alright, very, very interesting prediction.
	Number 79.
	Okay, Art.
	God bless.
	Yeah, you too.
	Spiced my night right up.
	First time caller on the air.
	Hello.
	Hi, um, this is Michael.
	I'm calling from California.
	Hi, Michael.
	I guess I'll take a little bit different approach than what's been going on tonight.
	My prediction is there will be an undisputed unified field theory, and it'll be through this theory that we'll enter a new age of space exploration.
	Oh, wow.
	Is it as many people have thought and suggested no longer, perhaps, than your thumb, very simple thing?
	Um, you know, it's rare that such a simple thing is mentioned anymore.
	Hmm.
	How did this come to you, very quickly?
	Um, I just had a dream about it, actually.
	Quite simple.
	A dream?
	Alright, well your dream is now recorded as prediction number 80, a new unified field theory that will take humanity into space.
	Good morning, I'm Art Bell.
	Second edition of the Prediction Show for 2008.
	Now, reviewing some of the predictions made for 2007 briefly.
	Number 75, Canadian politician revealed to be alien.
	Bonk.
	76, illegal immigration doubles from Mexico.
	I'm going to tentatively Well, I'm going to ding it.
	I don't know if I should.
	I don't know if it's really doubled, but boy, if you go by the publicity, it seems that way.
	Ding.
	77.
	A major oil tanker leak in the Pacific.
	Ding, ding, ding, ding.
	Boy, we sure had a bad one near the Philippines.
	Number 78.
	Art Bell uses mass consciousness.
	In fact, I did during the year.
	Ding, ding, ding, ding. 79.
	Secret document proves that George Bush, George Bush's ancestor, wrote the book of Daniel.
	Bonk!

	Number 81, new high temps recorded.
	Ding, ding, ding, ding.
	Number 82, new nuclear power In some small country, a new country becomes a nuclear power.
	I think that's still a bonk, but I'll take feedback.
	Number 83, we go into North Korea or Iran, thankfully, bonk.
	Number 84, another wrestling fatality.
	Now that man called earlier, yesterday, and of course that's a giant ding.
	He hit that right on the head.
	Number 85, Art, me, quits smoking.
	Ding, ding, ding, ding.
	Number 86, military man runs for president.
	Ding, ding, ding, ding.
	And number 87, automakers take another hit.
	Ding, ding, ding, ding.
	Now that is by far the best batch we've had that I've read back.
	That was number 87.
	So, a lot more dings than bonks there.
	In a moment, we'll continue with 2008.
	Boy, there really were a lot of hits in that last bunch, huh?
	All right.
	Back to the phones we go.
	Let's go to the wildcard line.
	You're on the air.
	Good morning.
	Hello, Art.
	How are you?
	I'm quite well, sir.
	Where are you?
	And first name, please.
	Okay.
	I got disconnected before.
	You never let me do my prediction.
	This is John.
	I call from Long Island.
	No, no, John.
	John, you were on and made a prediction last night.
	Yeah, but you never gave me a number and I got cut off.
	You just cut me right off.
	What was your prediction, John?
	Well, the first prediction was, which you did give me a ding for, was that UFO sightings were not just double but triple.
	What was your new prediction?
	That it will actually quadruple.
	All right, listen on the air, John, and I'll get the number for you.
	Let's see.
	Okay, John, your prediction number is 12.
	Prediction number 12.
	There you go, buddy.
	First time caller on the line, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Hello.
	Hi, this is Kelly from Eugene, Oregon.
	Okay, Kelly.
	I got a prediction that you'll be known by a new name.
	I'll be known by a new name.
	I guess that's it.
	Well, I'm not going to record that.
	I've always been known by the same name and that will not change.
	West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Hello.
	Hi.
	Yes.
	Yes.
	Is this Art Bell?
	It is.
	Yes, Mr. Bell.
	I predict that there's going to be a A new source of water found in the West, particularly in Arizona and Nevada, and it's going to be found near volcanic mountains, and it's going to be an almost unlimited source of water, primal water.
	Well, we can certainly use it.
	It's going to be prediction number 81.
	Near some sort of volcanic activity.
	And out here in my area.
	Well, we could certainly use it.
	We have very good underground water.
	If you were to look at the area where I live, you would not think there is water here.
	But indeed there is.
	We've got one of the largest aquifers in the U.S.
	directly below us.
	It's really quite amazing.
	Wildcard Line, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Well, you would have been, but we missed you.
	Redo that.
	Wait a minute here.
	There we go.
	All right.
	Wildcard Line, you are on the air.
	Hi, Mr. Arbell?
	Yes, sir.
	I have a prediction for you.
	All right.
	Do you want me to identify myself, or what do you want me to do?
	Well, first name, where you are, that kind of thing.
	Marty in Topanga, California.
	Okay, Marty.
	My prediction takes place in Lake Tahoe, and what I'm predicting is I'm predicting a UFO of some sort is disabled in the Lake Tahoe area, wide open with a lot of witnesses, photographs, that starts a whole new wave of Does it actually, do you feel it will actually crash?
	For some reason I see it just a little bit underwater and lights blinking.
	Like it might have disabled itself like along the shoreline where it can be seen by a lot of casinos or people like maybe in South Lake Tahoe or Fallen Leaf Lake which is right south of Okay.
	Lake Tahoe.
	That's quite a specific prediction.
	How did it come to you?
	I don't know.
	I just saw it and I just imagined activity in that area and I thought it was maybe the Great Salt Lake, but the more I kind of like, you know, kind of imagined it and tried to think about it, it seemed more like Lake Tahoe.
	Okay.
	All right.
	Well, that's prediction number 82.
	Thank you.
	And I appreciate your having made it.
	Take care, and I hope it comes true.
	I certainly, in my lifetime, I noticed Arthur C. Clarke, I don't know if any of you have had an opportunity to see it, sent the world a video message on the occasion of his birthday, and one of the things he said was he would like to see Earth The people of Earth be in contact with another civilization, another intelligence in the universe before he dies.
	And I certainly have the very same wish.
	I've talked about this a very long time now, and to see that happen would be quite a thing to observe before you passed.
	East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Hi.
	Hi, John from the Bronx.
	Yes, John.
	Quick FYI about an old prediction.
	Somebody said, you had a guest last week that said the Mayan calendar Going to 2012 was like an odometer clicking over from $9.99 to $1,000, and then continuing on from there.
	That's not a bad way to put it.
	It wouldn't have been me.
	I wasn't here last week, but I understand.
	Yeah.
	My prediction is kind of a no-brainer, and I got it by putting together information that I first heard on coast-to-coast.
	I predict that food prices will be We'll replace oil prices in the headlines.
	I first heard about the bees' colony collapse disorder on Coast to Coast, and then I found it in other news sources.
	And then you mentioned once about wheat disease, UG-99 from Uganda in 1999.
	Right.
	And I've done a little more digging about that, and I found it in official UN sources, agricultural sources on the Internet.
	And that it's a growing problem and it's leaving Africa and going into the breadbaskets of the Middle East within the next few years.
	And then two little quiet tidbits I found again in official sources about that disease was that spores from the rust, black stem rust, had been found over the Caribbean.
	They haven't found the disease in the Caribbean in wheat, but they have found spores there.
	And India, which is the second major wheat producer for the last two years, and I found this in a boring economics article, had to import wheat last year and this year for economic reasons about market prices and stuff like that.
	So I think that that's good.
	And then, of course, the ethanol, corn ethanol, is driving up corn prices, which will also drive up wheat prices.
	So I think food will be a major problem.
	That will finally hit the headlines either next year or if not, it'll be worse the following year.
	So you're saying there'll be as much news about the price of food or the shortage of food as there has been about the oil and gas prices?
	Yeah, and it'll be a bigger story because it will affect everyone and then, you know, the political consequences, you know, from that too will... it's going to be a mess within the next... probably into the next year.
	Because of this wheat problem, I haven't seen, I haven't found it, unless I looked for it specifically, and I found it again in official sources, so people can look up wheat, black stem rust, Uganda, 1999, and find it.
	And again, I heard it once mentioned on Coast to Coast, and then I looked it up on my own, and very few people have heard of it, and this is going to be major news, because it will affect everybody.
	Good enough.
	Alright, it's prediction number 83 and I hope you're wrong.
	I hope so too, but again, it's not magic.
	I was looking at Google.
	Got it.
	Alright, thank you very much and take care.
	That would of course be awful.
	If food prices went up, well then, those who, I suppose, can afford it would eat the longest.
	But to imagine that kind of hunger, if you saw that kind of hunger here, In America, imagine what it would be like in the rest of the world.
	Close your eyes and try and imagine.
	Wild Card Line, you're on the air.
	Hey.
	Hey there.
	Turn your radio off, please.
	Okay, I'm sorry, Art Bell.
	That's all right.
	What is your first name?
	Norman, and I'm from Athens, Tennessee.
	Okay.
	And the new Manandre Spotline, and the Shenandoah Valley next to Chattanooga, Tennessee.
	Right.
	I believe they'll have an incident.
	It may not be major because it's been so long, like I think it was in the early 1800s or 1900s when the last one, when the Mississippi had blowed backwards.
	Right.
	Okay.
	And I believe that something will happen this year, but it will affect the Shenandoah Valley, but it'll have to start I'm so proud I got to talk to you.
	I've called and called and called and I started listening when you and George started switching and everything.
	I've kept up with you and I remember when you had climbed on top of that building where you had moved off and all that.
	And I thought, Lord, he's going to get hurt, you know.
	Well, it was close.
	Very, very, very close.
	That's prediction number 84, and he's referring to the time... It was my own damn fault.
	I had an absolute habit during breaks of walking out on my porch.
	You know, here in the desert, we've got a beautiful, beautiful view of the stars.
	And in the summer here in the desert, it is beautiful.
	The outside temperature is just sort of blood warm, just beautiful.
	And so during every break, whether it be four or five minutes or a longer break at the top of the hour, I'd walk out on my porch and look at the stars.
	And I had my construction crew I'd given them orders to tear down the little porch that we had and put up a big porch, you know, that went the length of the house, you know, kind of a southern style redwood porch that would just be wonderful to sit out and sort of watch the world go by and great to look at the stars from and so they had begun construction and toward that end they had torn down the little porch that I had there.
	And they had begun construction, the early stages of construction of the new porch.
	And again, toward that end, they had these stanchions, these metal stanchions that were to hold the vertical supports, you know, the big vertical supports for the porch.
	And these things were metal and they stuck out about, I don't know, three or four or five inches out of the newly poured cement.
	Well, like an idiot.
	I had forgotten they tore down the porch.
	Break came, I went strolling outside, took one, put one foot into mid-air, and fell flat on my face.
	I guess it was about a four foot fall, four and a half feet.
	But my head ended up about one inch from one of these metal stanchions, and had it hit that, I would have impaled my brain on that, and that would have been the end of everything.
	So as it was, it was sort of a... I was all cut up and got bruised.
	It was awful.
	It's one of those things, kind of like a cartoon, wouldn't have been so funny had I really hit that metal.
	But otherwise, it was, I suppose, funny.
	There is something else about others' pain that's absolutely hilarious.
	Let's hear the one.
	First time caller.
	Hi, and you're on the air.
	Hi.
	Hey, how you doing, Mr. Bell?
	Quite well.
	That's good.
	You had a caller a little while ago that was talking about a UFO incident that may occur in the Lake Tahoe area.
	That's right.
	I was hesitant about calling because I've had the same vision, but it was with a little more clarity.
	That vehicle, whatever it is, will be tracked coming out of Arizona.
	Really?
	And it will have a near miss with the commercial aircraft because there will be a freak electrical storm between March and April.
	Alright, but did you also see a UFO being disabled up in the Lake Tahoe area?
	Anywhere in that area?
	It's going to be, I haven't really gotten the true clarity on it, but I know he's seen the same thing that I've seen, because he's seen water.
	And the water is not exactly the Lake Tahoe area.
	What's going to happen, that is going to happen, Excuse me.
	And the military is going to claim that it was one of their experimental aircraft, but there will be two photos that will come out of that that will prove, without a shadow of a doubt, that they do exist.
	All right.
	How did all this come to you?
	And now that there are two of you saying this, it gets more interesting.
	Every so often, people just look at me like I'm crazy.
	Uh, get visions.
	I've tried to play it down because sometimes it's scary because I'll see something will happen.
	And you know, the first thing you do, if that's something you're not accustomed to, you attribute it to yourself.
	And you wonder, where am I going to see something that happens to me?
	You know, you know, that old parody of paradox.
	If you're going to see your death, can I do something about it or whatever?
	But, uh, I've always seen something since I was a child, I've always been able to see one thing or another, but it's not, Real often.
	And it's always something that when I hear something from someone else, I'll know instantly that that is going to happen.
	Are you in a security field?
	Something like a policeman or something like that?
	Yes, I am.
	Okay.
	I'm not psychic.
	I just heard your radio.
	Yes, I am.
	Thank you.
	You're quite welcome.
	And take care.
	And your prediction is number 85.
	Now, that's interesting.
	Very similar descriptions of a UFO.
	This gentleman's saying North, tracks North from Arizona and ends up over water, apparently disabled or in some distress.
	Boy, wouldn't it be something to get a undeniable and absolutely undeniable thing of that magnitude.
	Sighting of that magnitude.
	Even better if, you know, I don't really want something to crash, but I do want some undeniable proof of what so many millions of us have been seeing in our skies.
	I've had two unambiguous sightings.
	Two sightings where you went, wow, that's not from here.
	That kind of thing.
	And when you get something like that, it changes your life, and it drove me in the direction of this program, and doing what we do.
	So would I like to see something like that before leaving this planet?
	You bet I would!
	From the High Desert and the Great American Southwest, I'm Art Bell.
	Happy New Year!
	Here on the West Coast.
	Just had an opportunity to go in the other room and watch The New Year come in in Las Vegas.
	My goodness, what a celebration!
	So, I'm sure many of the rest of you did as well.
	I wonder if people on the East Coast waited out to see Las Vegas or wait for the next day to see it on CNN.
	And they will, of course, repeat it.
	So if you missed it, you'll get to see it.
	It was really something.
	Alright, we're doing predictions for the year that we're now in.
	For a couple of more hours, then we will seal them.
	Put them in the Bell family vault and bring them out next year and see how you did.
	No pros, no remote viewers or psychics, professional psychics or any of that.
	Just all of you making predictions for what you think is going to occur as this brand new year winds out.
	I'm Art Bell and we'll be right back.
	All right, back to the lines we go.
	Your predictions continue.
	Let's make it west of the Rockies.
	You're on the air.
	Happy New Year and welcome.
	Happy New Year to you, too.
	I would like to predict, and then I can explain why I believe this to be, that this year, the seven-year agreement between the UN and Israel and Palestine will be confirmed.
	So, peace in the Middle East?
	Well, the contract for peace in the Middle East.
	And then it'll be three and a half years, and then it'll all fall apart.
	And the reason I believe this is because, according to Revelation 12, there is a constellation given of when Yeshua was born, and someone went back and looked at NASA and asked NASA when this was, when this constellation was, the day, and it was on 9-11 of the year Of one, of when Yeshua was born.
	So we're actually, our calendar is off by three years.
	So it's actually 2005.
	And if the Son of Righteousness returns with the Mayan calendar, which I believe it will because the anomalies all fit, then that would make an exact timeline of 2008, which would be 2005 to 2012.
	Okay, got it.
	Your prediction is number 86, and I'm sorry we had to cut that a little short.
	That particular phone connection had enough echo on it to make it about halfway around the world all on its own.
	Wildcard Line, you're on the air.
	Hi.
	Welcome to 2008, Art Bell.
	And you as well, sir.
	We are definitely time travelers.
	Well, we are.
	Hey, glad to hear your voice back on the radio.
	Good to be here, it really is.
	What is your first name?
	My name is Sean, and I'm calling from Winnipeg, Canada.
	Oh, okay.
	Hey, Sean.
	Okay, I must admit, I've missed about 40 minutes over the last two nights, so I really hope that no one has predicted this as of yet.
	Well, wait a minute.
	You say you missed 40 minutes?
	About 40 minutes, yeah.
	So you didn't hear about the landing?
	Oh, geez.
	You didn't hear about the landing?
	Are you serious?
	I am serious.
	What landed?
	That's all right, Sean.
	You have a prediction for us, I guess, huh?
	Yes.
	We're looking at the oil.
	Let's have a look at oil.
	I'm predicting that oil shall be traded under a new currency.
	Meaning the countries will begin using, what do you suppose, the euro?
	May not necessarily be the euro, I just don't see it being the US dollar as the benchmark for oil anymore.
	Well, I would think it would have to be, I don't think there's anything that's more solid than the euro right now, is there?
	That's what I'm looking at.
	I don't want to say the euro for sure, I just say a different currency.
	Okay, that's a very sad prediction to make.
	That's a very sad prediction to make.
	Yeah, yeah it is.
	The way I reach this prediction is I use my mind's eye.
	I reach in there through meditation and I see a sight and that's how my predictions come to me.
	Well, to get specific, do you see it like as a headline or do you see it as a... I mean, get as specific as you can.
	Most definitely.
	The Umbro will emerge.
	It will be very competitive against the Euro, but I think that the oil will have been traded or oil will have be traded under the Euro rather than the Amero.
	No, no, no.
	I've got all that.
	I'm asking how you see it.
	How you see this?
	Is it like a headline in the newspaper or something that enters your mind or what?
	No, actually, I found that when I'm with my mate, I usually blurt things out.
	And these little just sudden blurts within the sentence of the conversation, there seems to be a little more into it.
	And then within two or three days, that's what happens.
	Pillow talk.
	No, not necessarily.
	Just, you know, walking around the house, we're talking with any one of the five cats, and I'll just blurt something out to her, and she'll kind of look at me strangely.
	All right, good enough.
	But again, I hope that prediction does not come true.
	I fear it might.
	There are already indications that with the dollar weakening as it is, There may be movement to other currencies, and to see the world begin to center on another currency other than the U.S.
	dollar, that would definitely be what you would have to call the beginning of the end for the heyday of America, wouldn't it?
	Not to say, I suppose, that we could not rise once again if we began doing the right things, To see oil traded with a different currency would be a very worrisome sign indeed.
	Well, okay.
	East of the Rockies, happy New Year.
	You're on the air.
	Turn your radio off, please.
	It's off.
	Okay.
	And your first name?
	It's Dan from Ohio.
	Hey, Dan.
	Yeah, I'm calling about the prediction that China's going to call in its markers this year.
	Well, that would be another disaster, wouldn't it?
	Yes, it would.
	Calls in loans, calls in markers.
	I take it that you consider this to be just part of a larger sort of financial collapse, eh?
	Yes, that's what's going to bring on the Amaro and the oil is going to be changed over to Euros and Rubles.
	Well, I would have to say if there's any one clear, very, very clear thread to all the predictions we've had thus far this year, it would be people are extremely worried about the economy.
	They think that we're on the brink of something awful, and it's come through loud and clear, so I hope everybody's wrong.
	I do too, but when the dollar drops off like it has right now, China's got to call in its markers for the trade deficit and all that stuff.
	Alright, it's prediction number 88, and I certainly hope it's wrong.
	Prediction number 88.
	Wouldn't it be awful to see the end of the heyday of our great country?
	But as I said yesterday, if you think about it, if you think about the nations and regions that have ruled the world virtually for periods of time, the Romans, even the English, And how long they managed to do it, and what a very short time we've been at it.
	In other words, the world has been ours pretty much since the end of World War II, would be one way of looking at it.
	And certainly we've been the only superpower, as such, since the end of the Cold War.
	And one would think those would mark victory points, points of real serious victory that would allow us to carry on as the world's leader for a very long time.
	But in fact, it's been a very short time and things aren't looking so good at the moment, are they?
	First-time caller line, you're on the air!
	Yeah, hi.
	This is Dan in Oxford, Iowa.
	Yes, Dan.
	I have prediction number 72, but I got cut off before we could really make a clear prediction there.
	And then, like, serendipitously, I have to expand it.
	Well, I can't let you call back.
	You predicted a new market.
	You said it would make the middle class rich.
	Richer.
	Okay, I can't let you continue.
	I'm sorry.
	One call per customer.
	When it's over, it's over.
	So that's it.
	If you call again, I will erase your prediction.
	Wildcard Line, you're on the air.
	Hello, Art.
	Hi.
	I come to you with a depressing prediction for 08.
	Okay, well, it'll just join in with the others.
	I know.
	I really don't want to be the one to give you this news because it's very heavy and has weighed a lot on me, but through the use of someone or something Lightning will become sentient.
	Oh, that's a new one.
	Lightning will become sentient?
	And there will be a series of attacks, racially motivated.
	That's all I can really... I don't understand how the two go together.
	Well, something is going to cause lightning to, it might be through a terrorist device, Okay, well I'll put that one down.
	We only allow one prediction per customer.
	So lightning becoming sentient is a hell of a prediction.
	I'll put that down.
	And attacking mulattos and... I'm not going to add that part of it.
	Lightning, that's plenty.
	You didn't have to go beyond that.
	Lightning becomes sentient.
	Kind of an interesting idea, isn't it?
	Lightning begins to become aware, would be another way to put it.
	I wonder where that came from, and I wonder why he began to attach the racist sort of tail end to that.
	That's number 89.
	West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Good morning.
	Hey Art, how you doing?
	Okay, sir.
	Happy New Year.
	And very same to you.
	Where are you?
	This is Mark in Denver, Colorado.
	Okay, Mark.
	All right.
	Hey, my prediction is that before the President leaves office in 2008, he's going to release Kind of a gift to the American people.
	Kind of similar to what his father did.
	They're going to show what our tax dollars have built with a $600 billion defense budget in eight years.
	And I believe that it is going to be the next generation of the stealth aircraft that they've been working on.
	They've already shown us the new Lancer, the new B-2 Lancer, and the new Aurora spy plane.
	And I believe these black disks that have been seen around the country and people have been getting pictures of.
	Are you talking about the drones?
	Well, I'm not sure if it's a drone, but they're pretty good size to be a drone, but they're black discs, and I think that it's the next generation of what they've been working on, like the one that was seen over O'Hare in California, and I think that's what they're going to do, and he's going to go out saying, Well, there you go, that's what you built, and I think they have achieved some form of anti-gravity, though it isn't probably what me or you would envision as anti-gravity, but I think that they've been working so hard on it that it's going to basically, on the way out, he's going to let our enemies know, and it's kind of neat, it's kind of fun, but also he's going to let our enemies know that
	There is no chance that anybody can beat us now.
	So I think it's going to be really kind of cool.
	A lot of people think it's a big waste of money building that type of weaponry, but it'll be a great advancement for the space program and for flight as the Americans have always been the leaders in flight.
	So I think it'll be really cool because Well, you know, I wish I could say that I thought that spending money on defense was a waste of money, but it's not, and all of history agrees with me.
	You're eventually going to have to fight, and if you're not prepared to fight, you're going to get taken over.
	Oh yeah, and it's like a lot of people said, he's not just going to wave him and Lawrence, he's going to wave goodbye to the people and then just disappear.
	He's got some things planned.
	Maybe a man tripped at Mars, who knows?
	It's not anything bad.
	He's not going to start the third world war.
	It'll be, he'll go out, uh, kind of like his father did saying, well, those black triangles, guess what?
	They're ours.
	All right.
	Thank you very much.
	I guess that would burst my bubble a little.
	That of course was, uh, I would guess my most major sighting, the triangle, the big black triangle and see that revealed as a new defense weapon.
	Uh, perhaps it defies gravity would be, I don't know.
	Kind of burst my bubble.
	On the other hand, it would be okay because it would be good for us.
	Wildcard Line, you're on the air.
	Oh, hi Art.
	Hi.
	Hi, it's Carolyn from Connecticut.
	Oh, okay.
	Yeah, and I have a dream prediction.
	All right.
	It's about a month ago.
	I had a dream.
	It's a party.
	It's at night, and someone of no importance but of an insider status tells me that Hillary Clinton is to be the next president.
	And William Jefferson Clinton will be appointed Environmental Secretary.
	Environmental Secretary?
	Yep.
	There goes Gore.
	Well, of course we've got Iowa coming up very quickly now.
	I know, I know.
	How do you think she's going to do in Iowa?
	Well, she's with it with the Governor, isn't she?
	It's almost a dead heat right now, I think.
	Oh, it is?
	Okay.
	Yeah, dead heat.
	I think she'll do well in Ohio.
	And then on to Maine.
	And then on to Maine.
	And well in New Hampshire.
	Okay.
	All right, thank you very much.
	Actually, it's on to, as she pointed out, on to New Hampshire.
	I'm in pain.
	I have kind of thought that Hillary, indeed, Probably would be the next president, although it's an awful lot tighter right now than I thought it was going to be at this point.
	I thought that she'd be quite a bit further out front, so maybe not.
	Who knows?
	We'll see.
	Again, what's been crystal clear in the predictions we've been getting for this coming year is kind of financial trouble, big financial trouble for the U.S.
	That's very, very worrisome for me.
	East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Hi.
	Hello.
	Going once.
	Going twice.
	Gone.
	West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Good morning.
	Yeah.
	Hello.
	Art?
	Hello.
	Yes.
	Yeah, this is Gary in Hollywood.
	Okay, not a lot of time, so hit me with your prediction.
	Okay, we are going to have our first woman president this year, and it's going to be Nancy Pelosi.
	Really?
	Uh-huh.
	Okay, first woman president, Nancy Pelosi.
	Yeah, I quit smoking earlier in the year, and I took Chantex, and I started dreaming, and I was having these dreams beforehand where there was a fuzzy woman Figure in authority, and after the shantex, it started kicking in.
	It all cleared up for you, huh?
	It cleared up, and there's Nancy Pelosi.
	She's third in line, and that is my prediction.
	How do you know this is a valid prediction versus just another dream?
	No, it was real.
	I don't have recurring dreams, and this one recurred for about I don't know.
	Four months.
	I still have them once in a while.
	I'm not taking the shantex anymore, but... Are you still not smoking?
	Yes.
	Good for you.
	All right.
	Well, excellent.
	Number 92 doesn't seem likely, but you never know.
	First woman president, and she will be Nancy Pelosi.
	Wild Card Line, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Oh, hey.
	Good morning.
	Good morning.
	This is Sierra from New York City.
	Hi Sierra.
	I had a call after a caller a while ago said you made a prediction about George.
	Oh yes.
	I had virtually the same thought under the same circumstances.
	About a year ago.
	You think George and Linda Moulton Howe?
	No, not her specifically, but same thing.
	I was falling asleep during a show And as a matter of fact, he was interviewing a man.
	And I just kind of woke up with this very strong idea that George was going to be engaging in a relationship with a female author that he has on the show frequently.
	And it, you know, would take an interesting turn that he wasn't expecting.
	Hmm.
	Would be one I wasn't expecting either.
	Very interesting.
	Okay, well, that's a couple of predictions in the same line.
	I very much appreciate it.
	And it is number 93.
	Okay.
	Well, thank you very much.
	We'll see.
	Here he is indeed.
	Hi, everybody.
	We're doing predictions for 2008.
	And all I ask is that you adhere strictly to the rules.
	Now, there are some, I suppose, ways around.
	The rules, and I've seen people get pretty close in brushing up against that, but as long as you're adhering to the very specific rules, it's okay.
	And those of you who caught it know what I'm talking about.
	Anyway, pick up the phone if you've got something really from your psychic center, something you're pretty sure is going to occur in 2008.
	By all means, we want to hear from you, and we will continue with all this in a moment.
	By the way, I'm sure all of you who have quit smoking know that one of the things you've got to do is keep busy with your mouth.
	And so, I'm chewing a lot of gum.
	And toward that end, I went out and purchased a whole bunch of different kinds of gum when I quit smoking.
	And surprisingly, really surprisingly, one of the gums that I bought was watermelon-flavored gum.
	And I got it home, and Aaron looked at me and said, I made the ick face and really I did too.
	I had just picked it up, but I tried it and boy, it was good.
	And the flavor just lasts and lasts.
	So I've been kind of hooked on watermelon flavored gum, and that's taken me through the hard times.
	You've got to do something.
	Got to keep your mouth busy doing something.
	All right. Back to predictions.
	First time caller line. You're on the air. Good morning.
	Good morning.
	Yeah, you guys still doing predictions?
	Okay, so my prediction is that the Bush administration is going to use this information and the poised American public ready to use UFO disclosure in order to keep themselves in the White House.
	Okay, how would that work?
	The president would come out and announce that, indeed, we've been visited from elsewhere, or how would he do it?
	Hello?
	Not going to tell me, too bad.
	That would have been pretty interesting.
	Disclosure.
	To stay in office.
	I, you know, I can understand an announcement, but I can't understand staying in office.
	So that was really somebody, I'll put it down.
	But it was just another person saying that the Bush administration will declare martial law and, you know, they'll find a reason to stay in office.
	So it was just another way to say that.
	I, nevertheless, will leave it there as number 94.
	I wish I could have pressed him and I could have found out how such an announcement would enable the president to stay in office, but of course, by facing that question, he fled.
	Wild Card Line, you're on the air.
	Hello?
	Hello.
	Hi, is this for the prediction?
	It is.
	Hi, my name is Peter.
	I'm calling from Vancouver.
	Yes, Peter.
	And my prediction is that Canada's minority government will be defeated next year, and there will be an election called, and Canada will have its first socialist government ever.
	Really?
	I don't know how long it's going to last, but that's my prediction.
	Well, Canada's always been a little bit socialist anyway, right?
	Yeah, they've been influenced by socialism, but they've never had a government that was a true socialist government.
	If that happened, what would you expect would happen in Canada?
	What changes?
	I'm not really too sure, but probably better social programs and things like that.
	You mean to say you don't already have the best health care in the world?
	Um, we have problems with our health care system.
	It's better than in different places, but it could definitely be improved.
	Yeah, I think that could be improved too.
	So, a straight socialist government would do that?
	Yep.
	I see.
	Alright, and what about taxes?
	Um, not too sure.
	I just saw it in a dream.
	It was a newspaper headline in a dream, so.
	Okay, so it wasn't a nightmare, it was a dream?
	It was a dream, yeah.
	All right.
	Thank you very much, and take care.
	That will be prediction number 95.
	And to the International Line, you're on the air.
	Art?
	Yes.
	How are you, Jerry here in Toronto, Ontario?
	How are you doing today?
	I'm fine, Jerry.
	Just calling in to do my prediction for the year.
	Indeed.
	Number 96 it shall be.
	Thanks.
	As we all know, there's a lot of us that watch your show and listen to your show.
	I mean, we agree on collective consciousness.
	Right.
	And I sat down today and I went through about my 15 subscriptions of my science journals, just to see what the stories are or whatnot.
	And I predict that next year, with all the new technology that we have, that we're actually going to start to find the first shreds of life outside of our solar system.
	Most of the stories, to be honest with you, that I saw in all my journals, like Astronomy Magazine and Scientific American, all these different journals, was a lot of stories about aliens.
	It was all over the place, right?
	So if everybody's talking about it, do you think that that's a good prediction?
	If you had to guess about how life will be found, detected, how would you imagine?
	I think it's going to happen one of two ways.
	I think either SETI with their new equipment is going to pick something up.
	Yeah, that'd be a strong candidate.
	Or simply the scientists using all their different methods for finding exoplanets and being able to sniff their atmospheres.
	Well, finding an exoplanet and finding life are really different items.
	Well, no, I'm saying finding an exoplanet that, after using your different scientific techniques, you can actually sniff the exoplanet's atmosphere using different types of methods to see if there's, like, oxygen in the atmosphere.
	Right.
	That still wouldn't tell you that there's life.
	It might tell you life is likely.
	Yeah, you got a point.
	Absolutely right.
	But, I mean, it would be the first shred of evidence.
	I think it's going to happen soon.
	Well, you're on to something with SETI.
	You know, they're really embarking on a big new project here, and they're going to be able to look at what they've not been able to look at previously, many, many times greater.
	So, we'll see.
	Cross fingers.
	Knock on pressed wood.
	Thank you very much.
	It's prediction number 96.
	Thank you, sir.
	Okay, take care.
	I don't know that I would make it my prediction.
	I would make it my wish.
	If we were doing wishes tonight, I would certainly wish that we would absolutely confirm life elsewhere.
	Think how big a story it would be.
	Would it be?
	Which would be a bigger story, folks, if we confirmed life elsewhere outside our solar system?
	Or, if we confirmed that there is no life anywhere outside this beautiful blue-green planet that we have, which of those would be the bigger story, if confirmed?
	Actually, I have to give it a little thought.
	Buzz for the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Hi.
	Oh my goodness, Art.
	It's good to talk to you again.
	Welcome.
	So wonderful.
	First of all, Happy New Year to you, Aaron, and your beautiful baby, Ajarae.
	Thank you.
	Oh, it's great.
	Okay, now this prediction, it may sound a little weird, but I did have a dream a couple months ago.
	This is the home of weird, no problem.
	problem. It involves JC. JC is going to be exposed for who he is and he is
	actually apparently for my dream a government agent.
	Um...
	Somehow, that might not surprise me.
	Yeah, I could tell you the campaign he's working for, but you may not want that.
	No, that's alright.
	JC is a government agent.
	Yes.
	You know, it just, goodness, it wouldn't surprise me.
	I'm not sure why, but it just wouldn't surprise me.
	It would be funny as hell, though.
	It was a funky dream, I've got to tell you that much.
	Well, alright.
	He's probably dialing right now in objection.
	JC, JC, call.
	Now, what number is this?
	I've got to know.
	Number 97.
	Number 97.
	JC, call.
	Number 97. JC, call, please. All right, take care.
	J.C.
	exposed as a... Which government agency would you imagine J.C.
	to be employed by?
	He has been fun over the years and people have thought a lot of things about him.
	They've thought that he was another talk show host.
	They thought he was a plant.
	And there are no plants on this program.
	None.
	Zero.
	So, know that to be true.
	Hold up my right hand and I tell you there are no plants ever.
	I would not do such a show.
	East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Hello.
	Yes, good morning and Happy New Year.
	Very same to you, sir.
	This is Daniel from Buffalo, New York.
	All right.
	How's the weather there?
	A lot of snow, I imagine.
	We're getting ready for our outside professional hockey game tomorrow.
	I should say this afternoon, later on this afternoon, it's going to be an outdoor stadium where the Buffalo Bills play.
	Very hardy people there.
	80,000 strong.
	Wow.
	Okay, we're doing predictions.
	Do you have one for this year?
	Yes, I do.
	It starts off Not bad, but the beautiful part is that after the face of the author of confusion, the Antichrist, the spirit, shows itself, people in this country will have two choices to make.
	Either to remain in their delusion or to face the truth and make changes that will provide comfort to those that love the truth.
	That's how you say it, and the Antichrist will show himself.
	I can't believe that we went to war in Iraq and blew up all of the ancient artifacts and history of mankind.
	And only to find out that, from what I understand, is that the Ark is not in Iraq, but it's in Iran.
	So why not go to war with Iran because that's what the devil wants is why don't we just turn everything into glass so that we have no history.
	Mount Ararat is what I've heard.
	Well alright so the Antichrist shows himself and we all have to make decisions.
	That would be something wouldn't it?
	Actually that would be something.
	I've always thought that if I, and I've been pretty solidly saying this since the question has come up, That if I could go back in time and, you know, go into any specific period, I would go back to the time that Christ was alive.
	There is nothing that I guess would mean more to me than to be able to see it all for myself.
	Can you imagine actually being able to see Christ walking on earth as a man?
	To be able to follow him, to be able to find out if what we have read, if what's in the Bible, if it's all true, or if part of it is true.
	And that's all it would take, right?
	For part of it to be true.
	I'm sure there have been embellishments over the years.
	But that's where I'd go.
	Wow, Cardline, you're on the air!
	Hi!
	Hi!
	How are you doing?
	I'm doing great, sir.
	Where are you and what's your first name?
	My name is Richard, and I'm calling from beautiful Phoenix, Arizona, and thank you, Art, for being back on again and coming back to the mainland.
	It's a blast being here.
	I'm sure it is.
	It is a blast over here.
	We've got 30 to 40 mile an hour winds blowing right now.
	It's about 40 degrees outside.
	Talk about a blast.
	Working security.
	Yeah, there's been a lot of wind in the desert areas this year, an abnormal amount of wind, in fact.
	Yeah, that could be leading in some weather predictions, but I've got one for the economy.
	It's very dire.
	It sounds a lot like some of the people have been doing already, but I think by July or so of this year, sometime in the summer, we're going to have a doubt drop that could be not only what this one guy said last night about 10,000, we're talking about 8,000 to 9,000, I believe, a near 1929-style drop.
	Wow.
	And also, the gas prices are going to be between $4 and $5 a gallon by the summer.
	That's believable.
	And that's not going to drop below about $3.73 a gallon, even when the winter cool-down approaches in, you know, November, December.
	I don't know if Hillary, or I mean, excuse me, whoever's in office, he or she's in office at that time, gets elected, is going to be able to do anything about it for a while.
	I just really hope that mine ends up with a bong.
	Okay, well let's say that you're right.
	What I'm curious about is what you plan to do, how you're going to handle it personally.
	If you believe this to be true, what are you going to do between now and, say, next summer, next July, to get ready for this yourself?
	Well, I'm going to definitely tighten the belt.
	I'm already working on doing that already.
	Maybe even put some of my retirement in gold.
	That will go up, I believe, but not as high as originally anticipated.
	Maybe $1,200 to $1,500.
	Almost double, though, what it is now.
	And so I might start doing that, but I might get penalties.
	That's what I'm worried about. I've got to talk to my investors first, of course,
	the people I'm with.
	But I'm just preparing the best I can.
	Even saving, you know, getting extra bottles of water and stuff in the house and everything.
	I just really think the economy is going to go belly up in 2008.
	Coming through loud and clear.
	I really, really appreciate your call.
	Your prediction is number 99.
	And once again, coming through loud and clear.
	And that's the single thread going through all of these predictions.
	The two nights now of predictions are clearly suggesting the American people think their own economy is about to tank, and seriously tank.
	God, I hope you're all wrong.
	I fear you're correct.
	And so you too might want to think about how you're going to prepare for what people are saying may be coming.
	First time caller line, you're on the air.
	Hey Art, this is Joey calling from what goes Pahrump in the night.
	Ah!
	Ah!
	You're in Pahrump!
	I am in Pahrump!
	And you are listening to... I am listening to you!
	From the Kingdom of Nye.
	KNYE, sir.
	Yes, yes sir.
	95.1 here in Pahrump.
	A wonderful station.
	And I have a wonderful prediction for you.
	And you're going to make it.
	It's going to be prediction number 100.
	Sounds good.
	After enduring two more box office flops, Tom Cruise is going to denounce the Church of Scientology and become a born-again Christian.
	Oh my.
	Tom Cruise denies Scientology?
	And he does it because he has box office flops?
	Box office flops.
	Wouldn't that... Oh, I don't know.
	Seem kind of a cheesy reason to deny your religion?
	I would think so.
	But the almighty dollar in Hollywood.
	I bet he doesn't.
	I mean, I'll put your prediction down.
	It's number 100.
	But I just can't believe that he would do it citing that reason or even allowing it to be thought to be that reason.
	Well, we shall see.
	We shall see indeed, and thank you for the call from right here in Pahrump.
	Thank you.
	Happy New Year.
	Take care.
	And that is indeed what he's listening to.
	K-N-Y-E.
	And that, by the way, for those who asked, stands for Nye County.
	The county in which I live.
	That's N-Y-E.
	Nye County.
	Kind of an unusual county as counties go, by the way.
	If you would like to email me, you may do so.
	I'm artbell at aol.com, or perhaps better, because it's a little bigger, artbell at mindspring.com.
	That's a-r-t-b-e-l-l at mindspring, m-i-n-d-s-p-r-i-n-g dot com.
	And I would love to hear from you.
	I simply would love it, as I love being on the air.
	It really is a blast.
	Wildcard line, if you've got a fast one for me, I'll squeeze you in.
	Hello?
	Hello.
	Yes, sir.
	Hello, Art?
	Yes.
	Art?
	Yes, yes, yes.
	Quickly.
	You don't sound like yourself.
	Well, it's me.
	Hello?
	Hello.
	Um, we're... You've messed around too long.
	We don't have the time.
	I'll try and put you on hold.
	Stay right there.
	Here I am, the New Year now, racing toward Alaska, the Hawaiian Islands.
	That's it, folks, 2008.
	It's here, and it's coming to you quickly if it's not there yet.
	So what we're doing is predictions.
	One more hour of predictions for this year.
	And we will begin, interestingly enough, with prediction number 101 in a moment.
	All right, I tried to squeeze one last prediction in, but the gentleman thought it was not me.
	Let's see if he's convinced by now.
	You're back on the air again, sir, if you waited.
	Hello.
	It is you, Art.
	It's Rick in Concord, California.
	First of all, congratulations on kicking the nicotine.
	I need to do that.
	Well, I don't know if I can declare it kicked yet, but you know, at three weeks, I'm feeling really good.
	I never got past a few hours, much less three weeks, so I'm feeling pretty good.
	And here I've been on the air for a couple days and haven't touched one.
	I did it five years ago, and after three weeks I was clear, then I took it up again.
	Stupid me.
	Secondly, I'm in the same boat you are at 53.
	I'm a father of a two-month-old.
	I'm the father of a 20-month-old.
	Congratulations!
	You have lots in store for you, and thank you for the congratulations.
	I'm in Concord, California.
	Today we found ourselves in the crosshairs of Kim Trails.
	And they were proceeding to the east and to the west, and there were X's throughout the sky.
	This was a grid.
	I predict, for 2008, that we will learn, once and for all, The purpose behind these chemtrails.
	This is Prediction 101.
	That's right.
	From Rick in Concord, California.
	Oh, well, Rick, before you go... Yes, sir?
	Give me your best guess.
	What do you think chemtrails really are?
	I think it's climate modification.
	Well, it'd actually be nice to know they're doing something about it, or trying.
	That it's most nefarious.
	It's environment modification for something that's not here yet.
	Well, I hope it's not nefarious.
	I hope it's not bad.
	And we'll see.
	101 it is.
	Thank you.
	God bless y'all.
	Good night.
	Take care.
	Oh, there you go.
	I've wondered about chemtrails.
	They're made up of some pretty odd things.
	The reports we have had up in that Idaho newspaper.
	I wonder how many of you remember that.
	Bad, nasty stuff.
	First-time caller line, you are on the air.
	Hello.
	Hello.
	Hi.
	I was just coming on the air now.
	We are, yes.
	Yeah, I know.
	But this is for first-time callers, is it?
	Yes, it is.
	Oh, well, we are from British Columbia, from Canada.
	Yes, sir.
	And they wanted to know all the signs, what is going on.
	Well, we're taking predictions.
	No, we're taking, if you have a prediction for 2008, sir, go ahead.
	Yeah, I think that there's too many nuclear warheads available today.
	Okay.
	And if one ignites the other, or if there's a whole bunch of them going to be exploded all at once, I think that's what I heard, that was a scientist said in England that If too many nuclear warheads explode, then the world is going to go out of its orbit, and it's going to go close to the sun, and it will burn the world up.
	Burn the world up, all right.
	Well, I'm not going to record that as a prediction, since it was dispensed as sort of a thought, not a prediction.
	It would have been 102, but instead 102 will go to a wildcard line.
	You're on the air, huh?
	Yes, this is a fun prediction for you.
	Christopher Columbus, Ohio, also known as Chautauqua, Tarrakeet.
	Okay, well I can use a fun prediction.
	Okay, Madman Markham will appear on Coast to Coast again sometime this year, and he will also have an encounter in his travels in time.
	With John Tiederman a little bit, and we'll be looking forward to that.
	We hope he's listening tonight, because we're looking for him to come in.
	We've never heard a word from him, as you know.
	Well, if he's going to listen, he's probably going to listen on a, you'd think he'd listen on a night like tonight, somewhere, somewhere.
	Well, you would think so, if he's in our time.
	Now, I will say this.
	I've had a number of time travel guests, David Anderson, Madman Markham, and others, and they truly have disappeared, sir.
	I mean, just... Well, if you were going to monitor time, they would definitely listen to the predictions for the year, you would think.
	It's a good point.
	It's a very good point.
	All right.
	Prediction number 102.
	Thank you.
	But no kidding.
	The serious guests that I have had on time travel are gone.
	I mean, gone.
	Unavailable.
	Disappeared.
	Phone numbers no longer in service.
	Can't be contacted.
	All of that.
	So, as gone as you can get.
	Because I've looked.
	East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Good morning.
	All right, Art.
	Happy New Year.
	Thank you.
	And I tell you, I'm glad you're back.
	I miss you.
	You know, I just had it up to here with political radio, sports radio, all you're hearing.
	They talk about Hillary's ham hock thighs, or Joe Tori ought to do this, or Joe Tori ought to do that.
	When you're back, Art, I love it.
	I really do.
	But I want to advise people out there, finally, and let them know something.
	Every four years, you hear them talk about how they Dislike the liberal media, but every four years they get tricked and fooled by the liberal media into falling for these presidential candidates who all they are are representatives of the Republican and Democratic corporate establishment.
	That's all they are.
	It's all very interesting, but you're not making a prediction.
	I'm making a prediction right now.
	Okay.
	The illegal invader issue will be the number one issue in the presidential campaign this year.
	And when they poll independent and undecided voters, which are about 20%, that's their number one issue that's going to tilt it, folks.
	But don't be fooled by people now who are giving you lip service on the invasion.
	America, I told people years ago, I even said it on your show years ago, you're going to be fascinated by people who will join the battle, who will not join the battle, and people pretending they are.
	There's a 70-year-old grandma down in Missouri.
	She joined the Minutemen.
	She's fighting it.
	She's being harassed every day by racist groups because she wants to stop the invasion.
	But this woman's not going to be intimidated.
	You know why?
	Young girl, she saw the older guys go to World War II.
	She saw the guys go to Korean War, the Vietnam War.
	She sees what's going on today.
	Folks, you cannot sit back and do nothing.
	You can listen to Art Bell, but you got to do something about this invasion.
	Tancredo dropped out.
	We still got the great Duncan Hunter.
	And if the Republicans want to win, you better tell Jorge Bush to start rounding up all the invaders and throwing them out of here!
	Alright, I've got it.
	So, illegal aliens, the biggest issue in the campaign.
	It is a big issue this year, there's no doubt about it.
	Whether or not it has been the biggest issue, I think not yet.
	It's close, and it could well become the biggest issue during the year.
	That is, if you don't count the economy.
	Now, of course, it's intertwined with the economy, but judging from what I've heard tonight, and again, it's coming through loud and clear, you are all very, very worried about the economy.
	So, I've got a feeling that's going to be the one.
	Wildcard Line, you're on the air.
	Hi.
	How you doing, Art?
	Fine.
	Here's what I think.
	Begin your show.
	Wait a moment.
	Your first name and where are you?
	This is, uh, Bob.
	I'm in, uh, Connecticut.
	Yes, Bob.
	Yeah, at the beginning of the show, you had mentioned, uh, just close your eyes and see what happens.
	That's right.
	Well, what I saw was something emerging from the mountains in, uh, the Northeast somewhere.
	Maybe Massachusetts, Vermont.
	I just felt like the rocks crumbling, and then there's something coming out, and then that vision was gone.
	It was quick as that.
	When you say something coming out, you mean like something with big feet?
	No, no.
	I couldn't tell what it was.
	Just as the rocks were crumbling away, it looked like maybe a dome.
	I don't know.
	I don't even want to say dome.
	It was something white or something like that, and then it just broke away.
	That was the end of it.
	Huh.
	And you believe this is occurring somewhere in the Northeast?
	Yeah, some mountain in the Northeast.
	Could be Massachusetts, Vermont, somewhere up that way.
	Because the rocks look like kind of white, gray.
	It looked like it might have been some of those trees you see around up here.
	Some of the pine trees, stuff like that.
	Looked like that.
	That's pretty weird, but you didn't get a glimpse of what it was.
	No, it broke away as fast as it came to my mind.
	Like you said, close your eyes, see what comes to you.
	And that was just a flash of my mind, real quick.
	And that was it.
	That was brief.
	Alright, well if something like that happens, it's 104.
	Alright, thank you.
	Thanks very much for the call.
	Yeah, I guess if you're asking for predictions and visions, and you happen to have one and you can't explain it, inexplicable, something emerging from the mountains in the northeast part of the country, that's certainly valid.
	Predictions for this year, what is now this year in most time zones, and so far it's a little worrisome.
	Wild Card Line, you're on the air, hi.
	Hi, how are you doing?
	Fine.
	Alright, my prediction for 2008 is that Well, I think something awful will happen.
	Well, something, it's going to have to be more specific than that.
	Okay, I think that bees will start to attack a major sewage plant and will result in a sewage flood in a major city.
	You're serious?
	Yes.
	Bees attack a sewage plant.
	Is that correct?
	Yep.
	Why would a... Alright, you know what?
	I'm not even going to ask.
	I appreciate your call and I'm recording it.
	Nevertheless, it's 105.
	Bees, for the most part, tend to hover around flowers as opposed to sewage plants, but hey, I'm just recording them.
	Wild Card Line, you're on the air.
	Oh, hello, Art.
	Hi.
	Hi, how are you?
	Just fine.
	Good, good.
	I've got a prediction for you.
	And by the way, my name is Jamie, and I'm calling from Calgary, Alberta, Canada.
	All right, Jamie.
	So just from what I've been looking at, I'm going to base my prediction on what I've seen on the internet lately.
	And it looks as though Ron Paul is going to be the next president of the United States.
	You're basing your prediction on the Internet, on what you've seen on the Internet?
	Well, it's Internet trends, more or less.
	He has the most YouTube subscribers and MySpace subscribers, and it just seems like the establishment is working hard and working overtime to keep him down in any way they can.
	Listen, my friend, I appreciate your prediction, but I've asked for psychic predictions, and so yours doesn't qualify.
	You know, in other words, I understand that you've seen it on the internet, that you have seen the amount of money that his campaign is generating, and, you know, the excitement and all the rest of it.
	I appreciate that, but based on what you've seen on the internet, that doesn't qualify as a prediction we would take.
	Wildcard Line, you're on the air.
	Hello!
	Hello!
	From Canada, Toronto, and my prediction is That the government or Congress or whoever is subsidizing all the mental health quacks and psychiatry, they're going to stop doing that.
	Psychiatrists are going to go out of business and people are going to get down to putting their own lives together, get back to work and start producing products that we can market to the rest of the world.
	And why do you think this will happen?
	Well, I'm in the medical field and I'm getting a lot of people Okay, well I appreciate the thought.
	I appreciate the statement, but I'm not recording it as a prediction.
	Maybe I need to go over this again.
	What we're doing is predictions for 2008.
	of handling mental illness. Okay, well I appreciate the thought, I appreciate the
	statement, but I'm not recording it as a prediction. Maybe I need to go over this
	again. What we're doing is predictions for 2008, psychic predictions. I don't
	care how they come to you, but if you're simply fed up with the medical system as
	it is now, or you've seen something on the internet that doesn't
	qualify as a prediction that I'm going to record and number.
	What we do on this program, psychic predictions folks, no pros, no remote viewers, just all of you out there, and we'll number them as they come in.
	But once again, they've got to be psychic-based predictions, or perhaps a dream you had, or something like that, but nothing that you've concluded from, you know, spending time on the internet, or what you've done at work.
	That would be grist for a show of another sort.
	West of the Rockies, you're on the air!
	Hello!
	I am?
	Yes!
	Happy New Year!
	And to you as well!
	Yes, I was calling to make a prediction.
	Yes?
	Yes, I predict that Tony Blair will bring a peace accord with Israel and the Palestinians this year.
	Okay, Tony Blair, a chief of peace?
	He's a representative of the UN.
	And he'll bring peace between Israel and the Palestinians this year.
	And how did this come to you?
	Oh, just coming to me and just watching him change, become a Catholic in the last couple of weeks.
	You're making this prediction because he became a Catholic?
	Well, that and just watching what he did with the Irish Republic.
	Okay, I appreciate your call and your thoughts, but hey, I'm scratching that one out, too.
	Once again, try and catch on here, folks.
	We're making predictions based on your psychic feelings.
	Dreams, something like that.
	That's a great deal of what this program does.
	So, if you've concluded something simply from watching somebody's career, that's good grist for another program, no doubt about that.
	But not this one.
	Wild Card Line, you're on the air.
	Hi.
	Hi there.
	Welcome.
	Hello.
	Hi.
	Yes, we've achieved that.
	Hello, hi, and you're on the air.
	I'm on the air?
	Yes, on the air.
	Okay, I'm sorry, dear.
	I didn't realize I was actually going to get through.
	Well, you have to realize it's a good, strong possibility when you're dialing and getting a ring.
	I'm sorry.
	What is your first name and where are you?
	I am Paulette.
	I am in Florida.
	Okay, and my prediction for 2008 is that I believe that corporate America will actually realize they are no longer owned by corporate America.
	Corporate America will realize they're not owned by corporate America?
	I know that sounds silly, but I believe that actually the corporations in America will have controlling interests that are owned by overseas markets such as China, Japan, and even some companies in our controlling interest in Russia.
	I've got to write something down, so what is it that I write down as your prediction, specifically?
	My prediction is that we in America will realize that we are no longer in control of the finances and the power in the elite in America.
	And how did this come to you?
	I actually listen to you and every time I listen to you guys on Coast to Coast, I'm a relatively new listener.
	I'm sorry.
	And I kind of discovered you by accident.
	Yes.
	Coming back, I was on my way back from Kentucky back to Florida.
	And I thought, I need some mental stimulation.
	Yes.
	I'm glad you heard us.
	But again, how did this come to you?
	By doing the research, by listening to you guys, the Bildenberg Conspiracy, listening to Reverend Lindsey.
	You know, all the people, the guests that you guys have on are fascinating.
	Absolutely amazing.
	Listen, I appreciate your call, but again, I have not made a prediction for 106.
	What part of psychic predictions seems to be not coming through?
	It may be a great deal of celebration that's gone on since midnight.
	I have no idea.
	But I'll keep trying.
	We'll get 106 done.
	Wildcard Line, you're on the air.
	Hello?
	James from Cupertino.
	Hello, James.
	Yes, I believe that the economy in the United States is going to be in a lot of turmoil, a lot of job upheaval in 2008.
	Yes.
	But I do believe it'll be good and prosperous for everybody if they're willing to work and adapt to the new economy.
	Okay.
	And how did this come to you?
	I've just been thinking about what everybody's kind of doing.
	So this is not a psychic prediction?
	I just feel that it's going to be good.
	I feel it.
	And a lot of people talk about everything being bad, but I don't feel like it's going to be bad.
	I feel like it's going to be a good year.
	Okay.
	And you feel this not just based on something you've heard, but deep inside there's some sort of something telling you this?
	Yes.
	I will record that as prediction number 106, all right?
	Thank you very much.
	You're very welcome, and we will be back.
	Good morning everybody, and welcome to 2008.
	Let's review some of the, or the rest actually, of the predictions made for 2007.
	This is not a good run.
	Number 88, a nuclear accident in Iran.
	That would be a bonk.
	Number 89, cold fusion back in the news.
	Not so much, really.
	Bonk, I'm afraid.
	Number 90, famine and very bitter water, I guess, surfacing everywhere.
	Bonk.
	91, the CIA and FBI take Coast to Coast AM off the air.
	95, Bush appoints his brother as emissary to South America would be a bonk.
	95, son is alive.
	Well, big bonk, and it's been going quite well actually.
	93, shark attacks.
	Certainly there have been those.
	That's a general kind of prediction.
	And it'll get a ding.
	94, Bush appoints his brother as emissary to South America, would be a bonk.
	95, sun is alive.
	The sun is alive.
	Now, actually we're at a solar minimum, so it hasn't been deader for quite some time.
	96 nanotech E, uh, in displays.
	I'm not, I can't even read my own writing.
	Nanotech E, ink displays.
	Oh, ink displays.
	I see.
	I believe that's a bonk, and I could be wrong.
	97, U.S.
	restarts the draft.
	Restarting, right?
	98, major restaurant chain fails.
	Now, I've got a question mark by that.
	There may indeed have been a major restaurant failure in the U.S.
	I can't think what it was, so I'll leave that one as a question mark, let you clear it up for me.
	99, candidate Al Gore wins.
	Bonk.
	That was a hanging bonk.
	100.
	Some VIP resigns.
	President nominates Jeb Bush to replace him.
	Bonk.
	101.
	CNN takes an anchor off the air.
	And I'm sure that is correct.
	Ding, ding, ding.
	I can't name who it was, but they come and go.
	102.
	An earthquake at the New Madrid Fault.
	Bonk.
	103.
	God will speak to art, meaning me.
	Not that I'm aware of.
	104.
	An AFC team, specifically Baltimore, wins the Super Bowl.
	Bonk. 105.
	Ocean groups increase fishing by 2%.
	Well I'm sure that's lots of complaints about the increased fishery, fishing going on.
	So I'll give that, I'll give that a ding.
	106, let's see, it'll snow on Christmas Day in Windsor.
	And I'll leave that up, I've got a question mark by it, no way to know.
	Did it snow on Christmas Day in Windsor?
	Good chance of it.
	107 also with a question mark.
	Delta and US Air merge.
	108.
	Trouble with markets from truckers.
	I think that's a bonk.
	And then finally, 109, a small chemical missile explodes in San Francisco.
	And that would be a bonk.
	Now I stand to be corrected on any of those that I've got not quite right.
	Hit me with it in, you know, with a fast blast and I will get that corrected.
	That completes the list for 2007.
	More for 2008 in a moment.
	Well, all right.
	Correcting number 96, and that was Nanotech E-Link displays.
	I've got a fast blast here suggesting that, in fact, it is a ding, ding, ding.
	Several devices released in the year 2007, more on the way for 2008.
	So apparently that is a ding.
	Wildcard Line, you're on the air.
	Hello?
	Is this Art?
	It is Art, yes.
	Good morning.
	Good morning.
	I have a prediction.
	Okay.
	That's what we're here for.
	It's not a good one, though.
	Well, in that case, it'll fit right in.
	Go right ahead.
	Okay.
	I actually saw this in the vision, that this meteor that's about to strike Mars will not strike Mars.
	It'll strike California.
	California.
	Poor California.
	Everything happens to California.
	How could it be that far off?
	I mean, you know, if it doesn't hit Mars, it seems like California would be, well, I don't know, not immediately second.
	Right.
	I don't know.
	Somehow the gravitational pull from Mars will deflect it.
	All right, so it hits California.
	Let's see, that would be a Tunguska-size event.
	Pretty big.
	Yeah, unfortunately.
	Alright, well I very much appreciate the call, and yet another negative prediction, this time for California.
	California does suffer a lot, but with the fault line and all.
	First time caller line, you're on the air.
	Hi.
	Hi, this is Dan from California.
	Hey Dan.
	I've got a prediction for you.
	Sure.
	I believe there's going to be a fire in Madagascar.
	A fire in Madagascar?
	Fire in Madagascar, I believe it's going to affect many, many people.
	Anything more on it, or just that?
	Yeah, that's pretty much all I've got for you.
	That kind of came to me, and not too much more detail.
	That's about it.
	Good enough.
	We'll take it.
	Thank you very much.
	Fire in Madagascar.
	We'll see.
	That's specific enough for us.
	All I ask is that it be some sort of sense that you have.
	It could be a dream.
	It could be a psychic prediction.
	That is what we're asking for here.
	East of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Hello?
	Hello.
	Yes, sir.
	I have a prediction.
	Okay.
	For Art Bell.
	This is Art Bell.
	Hi, Art Bell.
	This is David from Georgia.
	Hi, David.
	I have prediction that the United States will reveal a new energy from batteries and it will change the world.
	We could sure use it.
	Sure.
	Thank you.
	Well, no, wait a minute.
	Batteries store energy, right?
	Self-contained batteries.
	So?
	That make their own energy.
	That make their own energy?
	Right, from water.
	Okay.
	And this came to you how?
	Like premonition, more like a dream.
	Okay.
	All right, I'm not sure it would technically be called a battery if in fact it generated power.
	Now, a self-refilling battery would be great, but I think we'd end up calling it something else, some sort of free energy device.
	Wildcard Line, you're on the air, good morning.
	Morning, is this Art?
	Yes, it is.
	Let me shut my radio off.
	Good idea.
	I have a prediction.
	Okay, it'll be 1-10.
	1-10 in the afternoon, or morning here?
	Number 110.
	Gotcha, gotcha.
	Well, I had a dream, and I think that after the Beijing Olympics, this is Jim from Tahoe.
	Yes, Jim.
	I think after the Beijing Olympics, there will be a global banking crisis.
	And it's going to lead to a, well, a global economic crisis.
	Why after the Olympics, out of curiosity?
	I don't know.
	I just had a dream.
	That's a good question.
	Maybe something's propping him up for a while?
	I don't know.
	Boy.
	As I said earlier, if there's any theme that goes into two days of psychic predictions, it's economic real trouble on the horizon.
	Yeah.
	Seems that way, huh?
	Are you going to get ready for it?
	Doing the best I can.
	Gold can't hurt.
	Yeah, apparently not.
	Maybe if, you know, lots of ammo.
	Boy, I'm afraid that's also right.
	And that applies not just to, you know, an economic crisis, but for example, if we had, Let's say we had a new disease and a lot of people began getting sick and it was something that would be from human to human to human.
	The same things would apply, the same protections as if we had an economic crash.
	You'd have to find a way to protect yourself and those you love.
	West of the Rockies, you're on the air.
	Hello?
	Hello, Art.
	Hi.
	It's an honor to talk to you.
	I've been a fan for a long time.
	Thank you.
	Lately I've been having a lot of dreams that I've been pushed downstairs, specifically by robots.
	It's been very weird.
	But my prediction is that there's going to be a record number of people injuring themselves falling downstairs this year.
	It'll probably be like a big story.
	Really?
	That's basically it.
	That's kind of unusual.
	And do you think it'll be robots that do it?
	Well, I hope not.
	If they start, you know, doing that, I'd be pretty scared.
	But, you know, it was just a dream, so hopefully that stays that way.
	Okay.
	Record number of people injured on stairs, or falling down stairs, more specifically.
	Pretty unusual prediction, but I'll take it.
	Number 111.
	Thank you, sir.
	Have a good evening.
	Thank you, and take care.
	Last half hour has brought some pretty unusual stuff.
	Wild Card Line, you're on the air.
	Hello?
	Hello!
	Yes.
	Can you hear me?
	I hear you.
	It's not a very good connection, but I do hear you.
	Where are you calling from and what is your first name?
	Okay, let me kill this radio here.
	Yes, oh yes, do that.
	It is really annoying.
	Anyway, this is Robert from California.
	Uh-huh.
	And you know what?
	You didn't really sound too serious about that call or about California, but I had that dream.
	Which one?
	You're talking about the meteor?
	I don't know what it was.
	This is what happened.
	I was sitting.
	I was dreaming, doing what I normally do at work at night on a computer.
	A huge flash takes place.
	It lights up the windows from my windows.
	It could be a meteor or an atomic weapon.
	What happened is I saw a huge white flash.
	The hair on my arms were sticking straight up, you know, like static electricity.
	I felt static electricity going through my body.
	My hair was standing up.
	My arms were uh... their marches standing up at about ten seconds later
	huge winches blew everything apart
	and uh... i'd never remember my dreams and i have detailed dreams
	but that happened killed me i'm about fifty miles uh...
	we see of sermon oaks
	and it it's either supplement our weapons airburst it it you know it's
	bigger than terrorist terrorism this thing with either some from space or massive maybe a russian atomic weapon
	chinese Alright, well the reason I might have sounded less than fully excited about what the colonel said is because he said, you know, the meteor, or the object that's supposed to hit Mars is going to be deflected and hit California instead.
	And it just didn't sound possible to me.
	It could well be something else, but I wouldn't think something that just misses Mars would hit Earth.
	Yeah, well, I'm not a scientist, but I do remember a huge flash.
	Like I said, the only thing I could relate it to is something from space or an atomic weapon.
	But it was high detail, high resolution.
	I don't recall my dreams ever.
	This was high definition, and this thing killed me.
	I actually heard My, my, my spine breaking.
	It was that powerful.
	I could hear my spine.
	Actually, you know how your hearing is, like bone residency?
	Oh yes.
	It ripped apart my house.
	The wood in my spine broke.
	I felt that and it just killed me and everything just turned off like a light switch.
	My God, that's one scary dream.
	Yeah, you could say that for sure.
	And I'm actually the guy who called you a long time ago about the CIA experiments with Greece with the mind control and the medical stuff.
	You remember me?
	I do remember the call.
	Yeah, yeah.
	I swear I went on the internet and it's all been removed.
	I couldn't find anything about the grease experiments.
	It's sort of bizarre.
	Alright, well listen.
	Your prediction, your dream, and that is a frightening dream, is recorded as number 112.
	Wildcard Line, you're on the air.
	Hi, Art.
	Hi.
	This is Tony from Alabama.
	Hello, Tony.
	I had a dream or a vision last night, actually, and I heard your show on the air, and first time I'm really calling here, but I wanted to share it with you.
	Is that alright?
	Absolutely.
	That's what we're here for, yes.
	Okay, good.
	Well, my vision is a little bit specific.
	I see a severe problem in the coming year for the American school system due to an Airbus or something similar falling onto a Factory where they make pencils for the students, and causing a massive disaster in a major American pencil factory.
	Uh... Okay, I'm trying to think of how to write this down.
	Um... I just... I guess I'm too short.
	It was very intense vision.
	It was almost like, you know, pencils are like insects flying, or like bees flying, you know, wood and lead and everything, and it was just real horrifying, but... Basically, a plane is going to...
	Hit a pencil factory.
	Okay.
	A plane is going to hit a pencil factory.
	Yes.
	Yes, sir.
	That's very specific.
	I wish it weren't going to be true, but honestly, you know, I saw it and I've been right about this before, so.
	All right.
	Prediction number 113.
	Hope you're wrong.
	I hope so too, sir.
	Thank you.
	Take care.
	Very specific and odd and exactly the kind of thing we're looking for.
	Wildcard Line, you're on the air.
	Good morning.
	Good morning.
	This is Mark from Oklahoma.
	Excellent, Mark.
	You're going to be predicting number 114.
	Okay.
	My prediction is that a U.S.
	possession is going to declare its independence from the United States and become a separate country.
	Any idea which one?
	No, I just dreamed that it would seem like it was in the Pacific area.
	That's all I know.
	Very interesting.
	So a U.S.
	possession decides that's it, declares independence, and wouldn't that be interesting?
	I wonder what we'd do this modern day.
	I don't know what we would do about it, but like I said, it seemed to be in the Pacific.
	Okay.
	Good enough.
	I appreciate it.
	Number 114 is hereby recorded.
	Thank you.
	Take care and have a good year ahead.
	Happy New Year, everybody.
	Wildcard Line, you're on the air.
	Good morning, Art.
	Good morning, sir.
	It's wonderful to take another ride with you.
	It's been so long.
	It is wonderful.
	And this is Steven, your fireworks buddy from Columbus, Georgia.
	How you doing?
	Very well.
	What I'm about to predict, I hope, is a bonk come next year.
	This is very real.
	As you know, Lake Lanier, north of Atlanta, is right now about 17 feet below normal pool level.
	Despite the recent rain.
	Well, we had an inch and a half of rain over the weekend, but none of it.
	They only got about an inch and a half up north.
	Raised it about six inches.
	Right.
	Atlanta's about 70 days from not being able to flush the toilets.
	My God.
	It's that bad.
	And this is the truth.
	This is not fantasy.
	This is no dream.
	This is the truth.
	And I just hope, like the Dickens, that something comes by here before March or April because it's really going to be bad down here in the Southwest or Southeast.
	And so your prediction?
	My prediction, I don't believe it's going to get any better before it gets the worst.
	I hope I'm wrong.
	Well, then your prediction would be that Atlanta runs out of water.
	No, I think it is going to run out of water.
	Oh, that's what I said.
	But I hope I'm not right.
	I hope we're not right.
	If that really happens, sir, what do you think the city fathers would do?
	Art, if this has been in the works for five or six years now, they kind of knew it was coming.
	Uh, Atlanta's growing by the rate of about a half a million people a year.
	And I'm down south, about a hundred miles south, so we're okay down here.
	We've got four reservoirs in between Atlanta and us, but the water that runs the Apalachicola River That's something to contemplate.
	A major American city, Atlanta is certainly that.
	Alabama are hurting real bad too because Lake Altoona is just about dry and
	that's the water they get to come down the Alabama River going into going into
	Alabama so. Boy that's something to contemplate a major American city
	Atlanta is certainly that it's an airline hub it's a really a major city
	and for a major city in America to be without water is unthinkable.
	Yes, sir.
	The old saying is that if you want to go to hell, you got to go through Atlanta.
	And that's just about the way it is, but I hope somebody comes up with a remedy to this problem, because this is going to affect a lot of folks.
	And I just hope I just, I would count, we were wishing for tropical storms this past summer, but none came our way, even though so many were predicted.
	Well, perhaps in the fall.
	Listen, I've got to run.
	That's prediction 115, and a pretty dire one it is.
	I want to thank everybody.
	It has been a wonderful two days.
	It's been great to be back on the air, and by the way, this coming week, I'll spend a couple of more days with you on the air.
	One with Whitley Streber, one about a new disease.
