The engineer blew the whistle,
and the fireman rung the bell.
Last night's show is not one I'd recommend for anyone. Art cancelled his guest and got pretty right wing regarding San Bernadino. He did open lines and shut down a couple people he disagreed with while letting others advocate for white nationalism. Also infuriating gun chat.

I can't in good conscience recommend the day before either, unless you want to hear a man literally chewing glass for your listening pleasure.

The day before that, though, was about flying humanoids, and one of my favorites of the new run.

lol art's doing a show on weed tonight

quote:

Tonight on Midnight

Sally Vander Veer – Legal Marijuana

Let's look at how this is working
out in the real World. Twenty Years ago I said it should be legal and now it is in some places. Has it resulted in Crime, Rape and general mayhem as our Gov't forecasted?

When I listen to old shows (mid 90s), it's a little easier to let his crummy politics slide by, relegated to history. But now when he starts on guns or ISIS or censorship or whatever else, I can barely listen. Libertarian ideology is the vacant philosophy of white dudes that want guns and weed and an excuse to champion selfishness as a person ambition. His politics haven't discernibly evolved in 20+ years.


Of course, too, Art thinks Anonymous is the coolest thing ever.

Keep in mind that he is 70 years old and people that age aren't likely to be terribly flexible in their opinions on things and they really reflect the mood of the era in which they were raised.

I have heard him take a rather dim view of the freemen on the land though.

He framed guns as a "We should all have them and any restriction means you want to confiscate them all," then got short with a caller who tried to talk about gun control, iirc. Which, ok, if you believe that, fine. But then don't have an open forum on the radio where you cut people off for disagreeing.

Last night's show was much better. Good guest, and Art tried to set up as many chances as possible for her to educate people and share her knowledge about legal weed.

Sucks that someone's loving with Art like that. No idea why anybody'd want to shoot at a weird old guy with a radio show but lots of people have stupid and irrational motivations.

I love when he has David Jacobs on the show. That man is so completely and totally insane that his episodes are always entertaining.

It comes with what I do I learned that a long time ago, people think and say the worst things, for the most part that's all they do from behind a mask is talk or make phone threats. It's that other very small group that one must worry about, people who talk rarely DO. A phone threat can be blown off easily but shooting near my House or showing up on my property is something else again, that at the very least is Terrorism.

Anybody who wishes will find the reports at the Nye County Sherrif's office, including the Neighbors who saw it. The way to get ratings is with a good show, not some stupid stunt. As far as talking about it I have always talked about my life on the air, I don't think I could not do that. Ho hum, people will always think and say what they want.

I don't post as much because I am busy with the show. I have seen some people think I made that stuff up for ratings? Not funny, I did consider leaving because of it because it put a big stress on my
Family as well as myself but it also pissed me off. You don't get ratings because you miss a day or your so shaken that it's hard to concentrate. Ratings only come from doing a good show. Besides do people think I got all my Neighbors to give false statements to the Police? My opinion is people like to imagian the worst of people, that's all.

It was another rerun. I sifted through Art Bell's FB for buried status updates, just gonna throw them all under one quote. Included some off topic ones for fun:

Art Bell on Facebook in the past 24 hours posted:

So lights and even more camera's are on the way. As far as the Police are concerned I will just say they are doing a lot of patrol here.


I just went through and deleted a big bunch of F word posts, from now on I will ban those people.


It is a shame to have to light everything up because that's one of the things I love about living here, the night sky is amazing.


This is not the City where the Police get to you in 2 or 3 Minutes if your lucky. The Police here are very good but I live in a very remote part of a small Desert Town and response time depends on how far away a unit is. I have a lot of respect for our Sheriff's office and have lived here about 25 Years now. Everything is a trade off, live in the sticks and you have to expect a longer response time. So a person has to pretty much take care of themselves which is what I am trying to do


Man it's crazy how sore I am, I did what was a belly flop on the ground and all my coffee, keys, papers went flying. I stayed down till the Patrol cars arrived because it was as dark as you you can imagine. What is amazing to me is that parts of my body which never hit the ground are really sore. My back is not letting me to stand straight today. At least I am here to complain


If you are going to use bad language please go some place else, people who can not find a way to say what they want without using foul language are no doubt limited in other mental ways


Random person: In a smallish community like Pahrump these harrassers can't be caught?
Art Bell: 40,000 people


Random person: George Noory is such a passive aggressive nutless douchebag. He just mocked Art Bell on C2C. Was bragging about getting some attendance award in grade school for never missing a day and how he only missed two days in thirteen years of C2C. I knew what was to follow. Then, he said "some talk show hosts will miss a couple days on-air for stubbing their toe." I just shut him off...dickwad he is.

Art Bell: Well if he really said that, I would say he gets a "A" for attendance! However Spelling, English, Grammar and Content Retention as well as Presentation must have at best been incomplete.

I am sorry to have to announce this but I will not be on Tonight or any other night, yes I am going to hang it up. Whoever this crazy person is, they are not stopping and it has come to the point that we as a Family do not feel it is worth the risk. While I think the person or persons are after me, my Wife and now my Daughter are really scared, the other night after the latest incident my Daughter was off in the corner of her bed scared to death as the Police cars came screaming up. I will not put my Family through this. As you all know I dearly love what I do but not at the expense of never ending Terrorism. I want to thank those of you who have shown so much support and it has been my joy, short as it has been to have cracked that Mic open for a last time. This was a Family decision. The girls stuck with me and still would but if one of them were harmed because of what I love doing my life would be over.

Heather will do a show Tonight with I think a Time Traveler.

The thing is, it could just be some drunken local who Art managed to piss off while he was shopping for groceries. It may not be the radio show's fault at all. Perhaps Redacted or some of the fans might be able to talk Art out of quitting. :(

Was reading comments over on the Bellgab forums. Some people suggested just waiting a while. Art may change his mind. Perhaps he will take a little vacation over the holidays and return in January and do the annual predictions show.

V V V Yeah, yeah. We all know that Art is a big ol' drama queen. Many gifted people do tend to be divas, but their fans pu up with it as they are still able to entertain us with their talents.
