Morton draws eerie parallels between the Clinton and Nixon situations, noting that Monica Lewinsky lived in the Watergate complex, that both presidents face destruction by tape recordings, and that Clinton was forced onto the very aircraft that carried Nixon from Washington on resignation day and later JFK's body from Dallas. He predicts the accumulation of scandals involving foreign money and multiple women will ultimately force Clinton from office by August.
The conversation expands to the Asian economic crisis, Super Bowl cycles as stock market indicators, the Y2K computer problem and its potential to crash Social Security and IRS systems, and Morton's claims about massive UFO motherships returning over Phoenix in January 1998.
Key Moments
Morton's September 17, 1992 Clinton prediction: Morton recounts publishing on September 17, 1992 that Ross Perot would re-enter the race within two weeks, that Clinton would win with exactly 42% of the vote, and that Clinton's presidency would be plagued by scandal - made when Bush was at 80% approval.
August 24 forced exit; the number 42: Morton predicts Clinton will be removed from office or resign on or about August 24, ties the date to the recurring numerology of 4+2=6, and notes Clinton was the 42nd governor of Arkansas and the 42nd president.
Void-of-course moon at Clinton's second inauguration: Morton claims Clinton took his second oath of office under a 'void of course moon' between Gemini and Cancer - the same degree as Nixon's 1973 oath and JFK's 1961 oath - and that no president inaugurated under that aspect has ever survived his term physically or politically.
Watergate parallels: Lewinsky's address and Nixon's 707: Morton lays out Nixon-Clinton coincidences: Monica Lewinsky lived inside the Watergate complex, both presidents are being undone by tapes of illicit conversations, and Air Force One's recent breakdown stranded Clinton on the same 707 Nixon flew out of Washington on resignation day - then on the 707 that returned JFK's body from Dallas.
Northridge predicted - and the guilt of getting it right: Asked what it feels like to predict a major event correctly, Morton describes hiding under his desk during the Northridge quake with a box of Cheerios and a .38, then confronts the moral weight of being right - asking whether prayer or warning could have changed it.
