Fear is a great motivator. Look at what 9-11 has accomplished - My god. It's slammed the economy, It's - I can't even begin to detail all it's actually done, other than bring down the buildings and hit the Pentagon. It's stunned the entire nation.

But I do believe in the paranormal, that there are things our brains just can't understand.
I am going to retire, and it is going to be a permanent retirement.
If someone's a flake, I help them dig their own hole. I let the audience be the judge. And believe me, they are.
I allow those phones to ring, and I go straight to it. As a result, I get some very, very strange phone calls.
Is time our invention, or is time a real thing... I realize we're measuring it, but in the cosmic scheme of things, is there really time?

I'm not a gun nut, but go out on my porch. Look around - what's there? Zero, nothing. If I had a problem out here, well, the police would arrive just in time to draw the chalk outline on my floor.
I think - no, I'm sure - 'Coast to Coast' wouldn't work with a daytime audience.
The net effect of cutting commercials in half is a fairly serious economic reality for Premier - and for me.
CNN is destroying their franchise. They've become either the trial network or the story network.
I've always been a technological junkie.
There are time when, in effect, you can do no wrong, and there are other periods of time when you can do no right, no matter what you do.
The greatest question of all is whether our experience on this planet is 'it' or whether there is something else. Things in the supernatural realm give support, strangely perhaps, to the things we take on faith.
There is a difference in what people are willing to consider, daytime versus nighttime.
I get a guest on the air, and they're weird or strange, and I help them tell their story. I don't laugh at them. I listen.
Radio is not a job; it's a way of life. You can't really ever leave it.
The 9/11 truthers hate my guts.
I don't like something so fantasy-filled that I couldn't imagine it ever happening. I like things that could come true. That's how I conduct the show.
Out here, everything is bigger. You see strange things, and that changes you.
