From the high desert and the great American Southwest, I put you all, good evening, good morning, good afternoon, wherever you may be in the world's prolific time zones, each and every one of them covered like a blanket by this program. Coast Coastalm., I'm Art Bell, and it is my honor and privilege to be with you throughout the weekend.

Tonight we've got a nice, fat hour before our guest, and our guest is going to be a good one.

Tell you all about it in a minute.

First, let's look a little bit around the world.

President Bush and Senator Kerry stayed on the offensive in Swing State Sunday as the presidential race roared into its final full week.

In a television interview, our president said, well, it's up in the air, whether the nation can

ever be fully safe from another terror attack. Up in the air. He suggested terrorists may

still be contemplating ways to disrupt the election.

Kerry ridiculed Bush's statement, suggesting it echoed an earlier assertion later withdrawn, by the way,

by the president that the war on terror could not be won.

Now it's up in the air.

Well, the election, though not very satisfactory in terms of only offering us two possibilities,

in my opinion, has come down to, well, it's here.

It's time for you to vote.

Nobody out there, and I mean nobody should uh... not uh... a vote

you all should vote there are substantial differences between the two

candidates even if not all the differences you would like to see in a candidate

of your dreams

there are substantial differences between these two men, and you need to make up your mind and go down and vote, exercise your franchise and all that.

Here in Nevada, we are a swing state.

So our paltry electoral vote, well, you never know.

We could determine the outcome of the election here in Nevada.
