March 23, 2001: Antichrist & Time Traveler Lines

Art Bell opens special phone lines exclusively for Antichrists and time travelers in this wildly unconventional open-lines program. While acknowledging uncertainty about whether the Antichrist has arrived, Art expresses confidence that time travelers likely exist among us, reasoning that once time travel is invented, people from the future would naturally visit our present. The episode explores mounting global tensions including Russian spy expulsions, deteriorating stock markets, and continued spread of animal diseases in Europe. Art discusses the Vermont sheep quarantine over mad cow concerns and shares reports of mysterious electromagnetic interference in Washington State affecting car remotes. The show captures millennial anxieties about prophecy, Y2K aftershocks, and apocalyptic scenarios. Weather anomalies continue with Alaska experiencing an unprecedented winter without temperatures dropping below zero. Callers share predictions about China problems and speculate about convergence points in history where multiple crises intersect unexpectedly.
