Thank you. From the high desert and the great American Southwest.

I bid you all, good evening, good morning, good afternoon, wherever you may be in the cosmos.

I'm Art Bell, and this is that program covering all those time zones called coast to

close a m weekend version it's great to be here an honor to be here actually and in a moment

we're going to do something that i've never done before yeah, I just can't resist these things.

So I have no idea what we're about to get into.

I mean, but I get an email like this, and it's irresistible for me.

Morgan sends me an email which says,

Newark, I'm a blood-drinking, casket sleeping vampire.

It's more fun than you'd imagine.

Vampirism has a deadly side as well.

Want to talk about it?

Well, yes.

I just love this kind of email but you never really know

what you're going to be getting into you just never know but i have never interviewed a vampire

i know annie has but not for this be a first for me, I think.

Anyway, so we'll do that here in a minute, I think.

Looking around the world, it doesn't look too good, as usual.

Gorillas overwhelmed an Iraqi police station west of Baghdad, meeting little resistance, and they went room-to-room shooting police in a bold, very well-organized assault.

It killed 23 and freed dozens of prisoners.

Moreover, you know, the poor police in Baghdad, they're trying to keep them employed.

They're paying a good wage for police,
