The End The End Well, once again, you're listening to the Hour of the Time. I'm William Cooper. And I'm Pooh. And tonight's a very special night, folks. You see, I'm not going to do the second part of the ADL thing. We'll do that tomorrow night. I hate to keep putting it off. But I had to pretend like everything was normal because, you see, tonight is Annie's birthday. And we had to give her a surprise party. And I wanted to do this show just for her. And I couldn't let her know about it. So if I've caused you any inconvenience by that, I apologize right up front. But tonight, Annie, happy birthday. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday, dear mommy. Happy birthday to you. Thank you, too. That was wonderful. Folks, gee, I guess it's been about 1989, five, six years. About six, seven years ago, I was the executive director of Coastal, our Pacific Coast Technical Institute, that is, in Anaheim, California. God, I was, you have so many that I get them confused every once in a while. Pacific Coast Technical Institute in Anaheim, California. I was the executive director. And I lost my secretary and was looking for another one. As the executive director of a school that belonged to a corporation which had several business colleges, I believed that we should hire our graduates. And if we couldn't hire our graduates, that we shouldn't be in the business of training young people. So I instructed my office manager to contact our business colleges and find a graduate, a recent graduate, who could type and take dictation and all these kinds of things because I needed a secretary. And we found one at the, I forget which school it was, but they told me that they had a young woman who had just graduated. Her name was Annie. And she was Chinese and was very shy and, but could type over 90 words per minute. And folks, I've never seen anybody that could type over 90 words per minute. And I was immediately very interested. She could take shorthand and, and all of the things that a good secretary is supposed to do. So I told them to send her over and they made an appointment for her to come and she didn't show up. I called back and they said, well, they didn't know what happened, but they made another appointment and said that they would send her over. And again, she didn't show up. Well, having dealt with a lot of people from foreign countries, new in this country, I felt that I knew what was wrong. She was shy. She just graduated from an American business college. She wasn't sure of her skills, even though they recommended her very, very highly. And she did have the skills. And so I called her myself. I asked the school to give me her number. I called her myself and told her with her skills, she didn't have to worry about not being accepted or about being turned away because her race or point of origin or any of those things didn't matter to me. What mattered to me was her, her skill. Anyone that could type 90 words a minute. And I wanted to see that. I really did. And I wanted a secretary that could type 90 words a minute. And I wanted somebody that could take shorthand, take dictation, and do all the really good things that secretaries are supposed to do. And above all, I wanted it to be one of our graduates. See, whatever I do, I really believe in it. And if I can't believe in it, then I don't want to do it. So I talked her into coming for an interview. She came for the interview extremely shy. Annie's Chinese from Taiwan. Extremely shy and very quiet and very well-mannered. And she passed all the tests. And indeed, she could type 90 words per minute. And she could do all those things. And so I hired her. And she was my secretary. And she went to work. And I went to work. And a long time passed. And everything was going well, I thought, until one day she came into the office and said that she would like to talk to me. And I said, OK, sit down and close the door. And she told me she was going to quit. And I asked her why. And she said, You reward the people who work for you very well. And you've taken almost everybody who works here to dinner. You've given them bonuses. You've done things for them. But you've never even told me that you like my work. And I was crushed because she was right. And I had just overlooked it. You see, sometimes we overlook what is closest to us. She was my right hand, so to speak. She was doing all of my really sensitive work. Things involving the corporate bureaucracy and vice presidents and the board of directors and all kinds of things that were very sensitive and had to be very accurate and done on time. And I expected her to be good. And she was. And so I took it for granted. And when she told me that, I felt very, very bad. I felt terrible, in fact, because she had stated it exactly 100% like it was. And so I told her to stay on, that she had misinterpreted, and that I was wrong in what I had done. And so she did. And I asked her to go to dinner with me. Several nights later, we went to dinner. Had a nice dinner, except for the salad. They brought us a salad that had wilted and died. And except for that, it was a nice evening. And he felt very good, and I felt very good about it. And so afterwards, we went dancing. And this is about the way it went, folks. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. When the business eyes Most get in your eyes Most get in your eyes So we'll get in your eyes And after that That night we were sort of inseparable You might say Now nowadays The feminists would say that I had Committed some kind of a Sexual attack on an employee But that was not true It's not the way it happened In fact I did not participate In that kind of thing I rewarded my employees for Their work Whether it was male, female Or The guard dog It didn't matter if they did well I took them to dinner Or I gave them a hundred dollar bill Or something I always rewarded my people And I still do that And always will And of course In this instance I probably never would have done it If she hadn't come in the office And told me what she did She was hurt Because I had taken the other Employees to dinner Or had given them bonuses Or something And had ignored her Not intentionally But nevertheless I had And we have not parted Since that night really We've been together Ever since And not long after that I began To divulge Some of the things That I had learned While I was a member Of the Office of Naval Intelligence And through the research That I had done Over the past Sixteen years It was at that time And Annie Never having Heard about any of this stuff Or known about any of it Was amazed Probably a little disbelieving But extremely loyal And extremely loving I remember Making a speech To thousands of people In the Showboat Hotel In Las Vegas, Nevada It was promoted by Billy Goodman And KVEG in Las Vegas And people came from All over the United States Just to hear What I had to say And there was only one talk scheduled But so many people showed up That they filled The entire ballroom Of the Showboat Hotel Twice And I had to speak For six hours Straight in a row And then later That became my hallmark Without changing audiences I would speak For six hours And Because you can't Touch this subject That I cover Without Taking a long time It's not something That you can Jump into real quick And get out of And I didn't realize How this had affected Annie Until After I had finished That six hours And then I finished A panel Which was another Hour or two So after about Eight hours I finally Got to be with Annie For a few minutes And She opened her purse And People were crowding Around me She put her hand In her purse And I saw that She was holding A twelve inch butcher knife In her purse And so I immediately Got rid of these people And got her up to the room And I said What are you doing? What is this knife? And she said She was afraid For my safety And she was carrying That knife In case anybody Tried to hurt me Or harm me She was going to Jump on them With this knife And Cut them up And risk her life In the process And that brought Tears to my eyes I I had not Realized The depth Of her love And her loyalty And I did not Until that point Understand How concerned She was For my safety In what I do And I have to tell you It received An awful lot of threats A lot of threats The phone would ring In the middle of the night And Some Insane Person Would leave Threats On the answering machine And Some of those Same Threats And the same voice Turned up later On a tape Which was supposedly Attributed to me And We would Hear the phone ring And Either I or Annie Would go to the phone And nobody would be there Strange people Would knock on the door And pound on the door At two o'clock And three o'clock In the morning And And I mean Strange people folks Really Really crazy people We also met An awful lot of Really nice Wonderful people Who came to help us Many of them Absolute strangers That we've never Known before In our life And At the same time Not Not Unexpectedly Many of our Friends Begin to Bail out You see It's not until You're up against The wall That you really Know who your Friends are And I'm going to Tell you right now Many of you Say you have Friends And you talk About your Friends And you say Oh that's my Friend over there I can assure you That most people I'm not speaking For everyone But most people Usually discover That when the Chips are down If they have One friend They're very lucky One friend That will stick Through them No matter what Thick or thin No matter what The accusations No matter What the ridicule No matter What the threats Or the danger That's involved That will stick With you And everybody Else will bail Out Many of you Know what I'm Talking about Because you've Been in those Situations Well Annie Has always Stuck Never questioned Never Never even Hinted At being Anything other Than 100% Loyal And committed And that's Always Really impressed Me You see Because it Wasn't just Wacko Showing up At 2 or 3 In the morning And phone Calls And threats And people Hanging up And things Like that For a period Of time We actually Had the United States Government Car Parked right In front Of our Door With somebody Sitting in That car 24 hours A day Watching us And following Us And all Kinds Of other Things So She had A lot Of reason Not to Stick around But she Did And it's Funny Because when We got Married Her father In Taiwan Wrote me A letter And he Told me That she Was extremely Loyal And I Thought oh Yeah That's what a Father His father Is always Going to Say that You know But it's True Not only Is she Loyal But she's A good Mother A wonderful Wonderful Mother To poo And she Does an Awful lot Of work If you People only Knew how Hard she Worked on Your orders And your Requests And your Your tapes And everything Else You

Bombarding Television With All These Commercials I Guess To Try To Overcome This Bad Press We Were Gassed In Our Room And Annie Kept Her Cool I Couldn't Believe It She Kept Her Cool And I Soaked Towels And Annie And Pooh Sat On The Bed And Put Towels Over Their Face And Breathed Through The Towels And I Just Have To Count My Blessings Folks I Am A Very Very Lucky Man To Have A Woman Like This By My Side Not Just By My Side But Pushing Me And Pulling Me And Helping Me And Prodding And Making Things Work And All Kinds Of Things That You're Not Aware Of And Probably Maybe Never Will Be Aware

Worker Fair Than And Yeah I Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. And she does it very well. If you think a child is too young to learn, you're wrong. You see, their brain is just waiting there. It's empty. It wants to be filled. A child lives in a constant state of discovery and wonder. And whatever you want to teach them. And whatever you want to teach them, they will soak it up like a sponge, like a dry sponge in a pan of water. And all little children are basically the same, including her. By the way, her real name is Dorothy Marie Cooper. Dorothy, because she truly is a gift from God. And of course, Cooper, because that's the way it is. And Annie picked Dorothy. And the things have to do it. And the things have to be short and frequent. And the things have to be short and frequent. So instead of spending an hour with something, we may spend only 15 or 20 minutes. And then maybe do it again later that day or the next day. But what they soak up and learn in that 15 or 20 minutes is incredible. And of course, as they get older, then you can expand that period of time. And she's always learning from Annie. She learns from me. And she learns from her dog, Sugar Bear, and her little ferret baby. Now, I wonder. I just wonder if I would be as successful as I have been. And if I would be sitting here at this microphone if it were not for Annie. You see, I don't think that I would be. And I don't think that most of the men who are successful in this country or in this world probably would be where they are at without the love and support and loyalty of a good woman. And I think that someone who doesn't have that is handicapped in an awful lot of ways. And I think the same holds through for successful women. Now, you don't hear much about Annie or from Annie for that matter. Some of you have spoken to her because she's the one who handles all the money and orders and everything else. You see, I just hate money. I can't stand it. I don't even like to touch it. And so, all the money that we make goes directly to Annie. It just bypasses me completely. And not because she wants it that way. It's because I want it that way. I'd rather have it that way. And all everything is in her name so that if anything ever happens to me, she won't have any problems whatsoever. And that's also the way that I prefer to have it because I don't want to ever worry about her. And we have prepared for the future like I warn you to do. And if you'll bear with me for just a second, I'm going to turn this tape over so I don't have to go to any music. Here we go. Annie gets up early every morning. And because I stay up very late every night, very seldom do I get to bed before 3 a.m., Annie gets up early and she goes to work on your orders and reproducing tapes and filling orders and ordering books and packing books and wrapping books and wrapping tapes. And she does this all day and she deals with UPS and she deals with phone calls and complaints and solves problems and checks food storage orders and everything. And she does a remarkable job. Very seldom does anything get lost or misplaced. Sometimes it does happen. And when it happens, she gets it squared away and back on track real quick. Sometimes we bump up against somebody that's just not playing with a full deck of cards. For instance, recently someone wanted to join the intelligence service and send a money order for $100. And we began to process the membership. And lo and behold, about 15 days later, this money order comes back. It bounced. And I've never heard of in my life a money order bouncing, but this one bounced. And I figured there must be some mistakes. So we put it up on the dresser and tried to backtrack through the bank because I just didn't believe that a money order could bounce. But right on the front it said lost or stolen return. So this had been a lost or stolen money order that somebody had either been the one who had found it after it was lost or had stolen it or had purchased it from somebody who had stolen it or something. We didn't know what happened. And then we got a call from that person who wanted to know what the status was in the membership. And I tried to explain to them what happened. And the person was just absolutely unreasonable. Gave us a hard time about this. But still wanted to become a member. So I said, well, in light of this, if you're going to become a member, you're going to have to send cash. Oh, boy, it's like I'd committed a crime or something. This person had given us a money order that bounced, was lost or stolen, and gave us a hard time as if we were some kind of criminals. We told them we didn't want them as a member. And in lieu of the problems that we had, we're sending the money order to the local law enforcement officials in the state where this person lives. And we don't like to do that. We tried to be very nice. And Annie is always very nice and pleasant with everybody. As everyone who's ever called her has discovered, she spends a lot of time with you on the phone and running up and down stairs and locating your order and getting it all straightened out. And occasionally she has to put up with things like this, and so do I. But it's very rare. You see, in the years that we've been working with people like you, good people like you, I think we've had maybe four checks that bounced in all these years, which is unheard of. Ask anybody who deals with the public, and they'll tell you that that is unheard of, extremely rare. And that's because people who are usually interested in what we do aren't the kind of people who would write a bum check or steal a money order. I still think that there was some mistake involving that money order. I really don't believe that those people stole that money order or had anything to do with that. I just can't believe it. I don't believe that anybody who would do anything like that would even want to be a member of the intelligence service. And that's why we tried to work that out. But do you realize how good you people have to be for all the years that we've been involved in dealing with you to have only four checks bounced and one money order come back? And I've never heard of a money order coming back in my life. And I still think that there's some terrible mistake involved there, whatever it is. But we'll let the proper people deal with that and figure it out. But the point is, Annie does this every day. Now, not just Monday through Friday, folks. I mean, we close the research center every Monday and Tuesday. So if you call them Monday and Tuesday and nobody answers, that's why. Monday and Tuesdays, the research center is closed. But just because the research center is closed doesn't mean we're not working. We are. Annie works literally seven days a week. Not because she has to. Not because I tell her to. But because she's concerned about your orders. And so she works literally seven days a week. And I have to literally go in and make her stop so that she can have some time off. Otherwise, she just won't do it. So you owe her an awful lot if you've ordered anything from us. And not only does she work seven days a week, but she gets up early in the morning. She'll work until UPS comes, which is shortly after two. And then about every other day, she'll make a run to Sholo, which is an hour drive there. And an hour drive back to get the mail and take care of business in Sholo. And many times after I do this radio program, I finish here at 11. By the time I'm finished taking phone calls after the show is over, it's somewhere near midnight. And by the time I get home, it's about one o'clock in the morning. And when I get home, almost every time that I get home, Annie is still working, filling your orders. She is truly a wonderful woman. She is hard to beat. I've never met or known anyone like her in my life. I love her dearly. I respect her. I care about her. And I know that, you know, in the beginning you always wonder. You don't really know. Well, I know, folks. I know that this woman will be with me through thick or thin, no matter what. She'll be filling your orders when the orders need to be filled, no matter what time it is, no matter what day it is, no matter how tired she is. She will still find time to teach poo and take care of her and minister to her needs and the dog and the ferret and me and take care of the house. I really, truly don't know how she does it. And she doesn't have to do any of this because nobody makes her and nobody tells her. We just have a philosophy and it's a mutual philosophy. Believe in God and just do it. Whatever needs to be done, trust in God and just do it. And that's how we live our lives. So, that's the way that everything around here goes. And folks, you don't see it. But I see it. I have seen her hovering in the background when people crowd around me after a lecture, knowing that she was concerned for my safety, knowing that we'd have threats against my life. In the beginning, she used to carry a 12-inch butcher knife. I made her stop that. But she's there anyway. And she's ready to pounce on anybody that even looks funny at me, I guarantee you. And there's nothing I can do to stop her. And I can't make her stay away. She's loyal to a fault. She's probably the best mother that I've ever seen. And she works harder than anybody that I know. And she doesn't even have to. She's one of the few people that doesn't need a boss. And that's extremely rare. If you've ever been a boss, you know that. And so, Annie, without you, I probably would never have reached anywhere near the position that I've reached, nor the success that I've obtained through the perseverance that you have instilled in me. And because of that, very few people know anything about you. They think that I'm some kind of a hero. But my dearest, darling wife, you, you are the hero. And you are certainly, you are certainly my hero. Have the power to make a wish come true. And if I had the power to make a wish come true, I would give you anything in this world that your heart desires. The only problem is, folks, is whenever I ask her what her heart desires, she doesn't ever want anything. When I tell her, ask her what she needs, she never needs anything. If I try to buy her a gift for Christmas, I never know what to get her because she never asks for anything. And she, she is my hero. It makes me think all day in my shadow To never have fun, I don't know what to get her because she never asks for anything. I wish I was the one with all the glory You were the one with all the pain Only a face without a name I never once heard you complain I never once heard you complain Did you ever know that you're my hero? And everything I'd like to be I'll take my heart I'll take my heart I'll take my heart Don't you ever leave beneath my wing Don't you ever leave beneath my wing Don't you ever leave beneath my wing Don't you ever leave beneath my wing Don't you ever leave beneath my wing Don't you ever leave beneath my wing Don't you ever leave beneath my wing Don't you ever leave beneath my wing Don't you ever leave beneath my wing Don't you ever leave beneath my wing Don't you ever leave beneath my wing Don't you ever leave beneath my wing Don't you ever leave beneath my wing Don't you ever leave beneath my wing Don't you ever leave beneath my wing Don't you ever leave beneath my wing Don't you ever leave beneath my wing Don't you ever leave beneath my wing Don't you ever leave beneath my wing Don't you ever leave beneath my wing Don't you ever leave beneath my wing Don't you ever leave beneath my wing Don't you ever leave beneath my wing Don't you ever leave beneath my wing Don't you ever leave beneath my wing Don't you ever leave beneath my wing Don't you ever leave democracies Let's Shoot my Don't you ever leave Don't you ever leave The number is 602-337-2524. Good evening. You're on the air. Hello, Bill. This is Mike Eisen calling. How are you tonight? Hi. Good. I've missed you on WWCR, so I thought I'd call and see if you were okay. I'm on WWCR right this moment as we speak. Oh, how wonderful. Good. Okay. Well, so you haven't been listening to the program. Well, actually, at home I was with some friends in Palm Desert. Yeah, we're at 5.065. Oh, great. Okay, well, I'll see if I can raise you. Great. Thank you much. Thank you for calling. You're welcome. Bye. That's 602-337-2524. If you'd like to call in and wish Annie a happy birthday or talk about something else, that's okay, too. But I had to say what I had to say. And you see, folks, I'm a hopeless romantic at heart, really. And that's why I do this. I'm in love with my wife, in love with my daughter, in love with my friends, in love with my country, in love with the ideals and principles that I believe in, my community. And I think that that's necessary in order to have a good world. And so I try to fulfill all of those roles. I guess earlier today, Poo and I were shopping. And Poo picked out a lot of the gifts, Granny. See, we didn't. There's not a big shopping center around where we live. So we hadn't been to town for a while, Poo and I. So we went shopping together today to... What? Where the hell did that happen? Right at the break. It happened now or... No. It's been just about 16 minutes. Oh, shit. Hello. Hi, Bill. It's Mike Eisen again. Hi. You may think you're on W2. I know. I just found out we're not on the air now. You're not reaching the satellite. Yeah. Well, we were, but we're not now. Oh, brother. What is it? Those crumbs on the satellite don't give you access or something? Well, I have no idea. We started out on the satellite. Oh. So somebody bumped us off somehow. Well, geez. That's all I can say. Well, I'm glad to hear you're okay. How are things going in Phoenix? Everything getting squared away there? Yeah. Good. Good. Glad to hear it. Okay. I'll look forward to seeing you on the radio soon. Okay. Take care. You too. Bye. Bye. Well. I tried calling both numbers. You're off the air about four minutes. Well, I guess that's the end of that. Good night, folks. God bless you all. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. Bye. I love you. I love you.
