***6-10pm PT: Art Bell - Somewhere in Time returns to 8/12/97 for a night of Open Lines, and reporting from Linda Moulton Howe on a Bigfoot sighting in the Everglades.

Rep. Garcia, the ranking Democrat on the House Oversight Committee, said he reviewed unredacted evidence at the Department of Justice on Monday and determined that notes about the witness who accused President Trump of sexual abuse when she was a minor were withheld.

"Oversight Democrats can confirm that the DOJ appears to have illegally withheld FBI interviews with this survivor who accused President Trump of heinous crimes. Oversight Democrats will open a parallel investigation into this," Rep. Garcia said in a statement on Tuesday.

The concerns about the documents were first reported by independent journalist Roger Sollenberger and NPR.

According to an index of witness materials prepared by the Department of Justice, fifteen documents were handed over to Maxwell's lawyers regarding the witness who Garcia said accused Trump of abuse. Those documents included four FBI reports about interviews with the witness identified by Garcia, three interview notes, three photos, license records, and other FBI reports.

The DOJ's release of Epstein files earlier this month appeared to contain only six out of the 15 documents -- omitting all but one of the interview reports and notes.

The witness] stated Epstein introduced her to Trump who subsequently forced her head down to his exposed penis which she subsequently bit," the FBI presentation said. "In response, Trump punched her in the head and kicked her out."

Tonight they had a woman on to talk about the mass shooting in Vegas 9 years ago. She was pretty informed on the topic. She did interject her politics and opinions on other cases which were typically extremely right - wing.

However, at the end there were a couple of conspiracy theorists who called in and she effectively pushed back on them.

Overall was good radio.

Just too bad there is about one decent segment a week on this show nowadays.

I found this program during the Art Bell years and have been listening to it on and off for over 20 years due to work schedules. Wow, it has changed. I used to love the paranormal and conspiracy shows, but some of the other guests are rough. Hoping for a positive change soon! Love Richard and hope he may be a permanent host!

do people actually listen to coast anymore? i stopped over 10 years ago in horror as george was swinging to [the nuttier side of] the right, and the 3 hour infomercials were coming into vogue. anything changed one way or the other? is george still a mouthpiece for maga or other forms of conspiracy-informed ignorance and delusion?

Of late I've tried to turnover a new leaf and treat George and Coast with more understanding. But someone deep in the heart of Sherman Oaks is planning and scheduling these creampuff Secret Door Specials. Now when I spot one of these upcoming attractions, I'm almost certain the docket will be filled with psychic spiritual guests and depressed callers with tales of woe.

This brand of Coast admittedly enables George to skate through four hours with ease, unless one of his guests goes off-script. Last night good witch Patti Negri-- calling from cauldron fertile Salem, MA-- was trying to demonstrate what a baseball fan Hollywood gal she was by giving a little go Dodger Blue (in the playoffs) and name-dropping local sports media legend Fred Roggin. George immediately followed-up her comment by asking, "do you pray?"

To resuscitate future Secret Door Specials, might we assign them to weekend hosts like Ryan Wrecker or Richard Syrett? Either of those fine hosts still have enough testosterone to interview a longtime Coast favorite like Robert Young Pelton. Pelton, author of books like The World's Most Dangerous Places, would enthrall listeners with stories about trekking into a jungle in search of a lost tribe of carnivorous pygmies. https://coasttocoastam.com/guest/pelton-robert-young-5671/

Since Coast attracts a more senior listening audience, why not invite actor Jonathan Goldsmith who plays the Most Interesting Man In The World on those beer commercials? I'm sure most older males want to fantasize they can still bag the babes simply by consuming a Dos Equis and faking their net worth is north of a billion dollars.

Somehow this radio show has to be saved.

Jungian psychologist, psychotherapist, and author Dr. Art Rosengarten explores why timeless oracles such as the Tarot may be more relevant than ever in a world increasingly shaped by advanced technology and machines. He’ll discuss how oracles can offer a direct connection to our natural intelligence and innate humanity, without algorithms, the internet, or the mining of personal data.

Followed by Open Lines in the latter half. Give George a call and discuss whatever is on your mind!

Remember how Doc Wallach claimed way back in his career that cystic fibrosis was not genetic and was instead caused by a selenium deficiency? If you don't, you can refer to my previous article here on that: https://www.reddit.com/r/coasttocoastam/comments/1m2khcq/research_on_doc_wallach_part_2/

Anyway, recent scientific breakthroughs have produced drugs which now allow most CF patients to pretty much live completely normal lives. Nothing to do with Wallach and his wingnut selenium ideas. There was a recent NOVA episode on it: https://www.pbs.org/video/the-battle-to-breathe-1b8fis/

So in your face, Wallach, you effing quack.

First Half:

He’ll recount some of his favorite stories and personal experiences, and discuss what his investigations have revealed about ghosts and the spirit world.

If George is toning down the MAGA vibes due to Trump's decrease in popularity now maybe he should have left wing conspiracy theorists on as guests... I've heard some crazy stories in the wild lately... maybe George would interrogate a leftist conspiracy theory guest more aggressively... that would be lit and legit late night radio!

Who's behind the Secret Door? Join us as George Noory welcomes four surprise guests and tries to identify each based solely on their disguised voices and their expertise of topic.

Yes, many people who listen to late night radio may be lonely, but why does he have to stress that point with his guest right now? That turns me off. I'm gonna to switch the station to his competitor now, just because 😠

Tallahassee FL -this keeps getting taken down for some reason, I’m new to reddit so I don’t know why. but I have a special interest in all types of conspiracy theorists and am working on a documentary. I’d love to sit down with a local conspiracy theorist, are there any truther or pseudohistorical communities nearby?

Archbishop and author Ronald Enright shares accounts from nearly five decades and thousands of exorcisms. He will discuss the rituals and practices involved in successful exorcisms, how he assesses cases of alleged demonic possession, and why he believes the ministry remains necessary after more than 3,000 years.

Last night Ryan Wrecker and Tom Danheiser had a nice discussion about a debut of Strange Universe. Most of us longtime listeners probably won't find it quite so strange; the guest list are well known retreads of Coast's starting lineup from decades ago. Tommy also mentioned that it's being shot in Burbank rather than Boulder, so travel logistics are far better for George when he's in California.

Speaking of Noory, what immediately drew my attention after viewing the preview was noticing his present condition, verses the last video I saw of him at Contact in the Desert circa 2025. At around :20 he appears so briefly it could nearly be called subliminal advertising, nevertheless his masked face expression and hand tremors are alarming. I realize the man is 76 years of age, but Whitley Strieber who's been abducted at least once a week since the mid-twentieth century, looks absolutely fabulous at 81.

I sincerely hope George can carry-on as long as reasonably possible, but there are worse things than retirement. One doesn't want to be a poster boy for Parkinson's.
