Rogue prophecy scholar John Hogue described his studies of the 16th-century seer Nostradamus, and a possible war with Iran. He suggested that fundamentalist extremism underlies the thoughts and actions of leaders in Iran, Israel, and the US, and they were being swept up in a kind of "messianic fever." A war with Iran could take place as early as the summer, he predicted. Hogue also argued that in the Six Day War the Israelis were right to stage a preemptive attack against their adversaries, but he did not see a similar situation with Iran, calling Iran's threats "hot holy air."
He reviewed some of Nostradamus' prophecies, including one that referenced a 3-13 year war between two Northern "eagle" powers-- which he interpreted as Russia and the United States. Hogue also spoke about climate change causing ocean levels to rise in as few as eight years, inundating port cities and disrupting food shipments. The first hour featured news and Open Lines.
