RUSH: Now, ladies and gentlemen, before we take a break here and get back to the content portion of the program, I must say that I\u2019m somewhat hurt. I have pretty good boundaries. I don\u2019t take a lot of things personally, as we\u2019ve been discussing this week. People say caustic, cruel, mean-spirited things and I just laugh it off. When it comes to you, it\u2019s a different matter, because you people are my family. We have this familial bond that\u2019s been here for quite a while. As you know, occasionally I will go back to our archives and play a See, I Told You So sound bite from yesterday or last week or maybe even last year. The most recent one, this is the one that got me in trouble. Well, I\u2019m not in trouble, but people don\u2019t believe it, October 18, 2006, when I predicted to people if you sit out this election, the November midterms, and if your sitting out results in Democrats winning both houses of Congress, then we\u2019re cooked, and I\u2019ll tell you why we\u2019re cooked, because you\u2019re sitting out because these guys aren\u2019t Republican enough, right? Fine. What we\u2019re going to end up with is McCain as the nominee, the same kind of Republican that you don\u2019t like and the reason you\u2019re not going to vote in November. <\/p>\n

People think I made that up. That prediction was so spot on. It was so profound that people think I just made it up. Like the moon landing. They think that I sat in here and recreated it because as recording technology has become more perfected and gone digital, you really can\u2019t tell the difference, you know, live or Memorex anymore is not a question. So what we have decided to do here at the EIB Network is to add sound effects to our See, I Told You So sound bites, the things that I said last week, last month, last year, and we\u2019ve got two different ways that we\u2019re toying around with doing it. One of them is to speed me up by 25%. That was Greg Chapin\u2019s idea back in the cave there where these guys put these bites together after Cookie cracks the whip and tells me them what to do. Maimone, the broadcast engineer, had a different idea, and he said, ‘No, let\u2019s equalize these to make it sound like it\u2019s old and tinny, coming out of a super heterodyne transistor receiver.\u2019 So we have samples of both. Now, here is an original. For example, this is from October 4th of last year.<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: White men matter most. We always hear, the conventional wisdom is, we hear about the gender gap, how Republicans can\u2019t get the female vote. And I have pointed out for years that the dirty little secret of presidential politics is the white male vote.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, now, you probably can\u2019t tell much difference in that and the way I sound right now, and even if I were talking over that you could still say I recorded it before the program started. So we\u2019ve got two methods. Here is what I said on October 4th, 2007, sped up by 25%.<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: White men matter most. We always hear, the conventional wisdom is, we hear about the gender gap, how Republicans can\u2019t get the female vote. And I have pointed out for years that the dirty little secret of presidential politics is the white male vote.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Right. Now, H.R. is frowning, you don\u2019t like that. What do you not like about it? It\u2019s not supposed to sound good. It\u2019s supposed to sound different so people know that it\u2019s from the past. Well, okay, then if you don\u2019t like that, then this is the EQ adjusted to sound like old-time radio, same bite.<\/p>\n

RUSH ARCHIVE: White men matter most. We always hear, the conventional wisdom is, we hear about the gender gap, how Republicans can\u2019t get the female vote. And I have pointed out for years that the dirty little secret of presidential politics is the white male vote.<\/p>\n

RUSH: All right, now you gotta keep something in mind here. I could see you nodding in agreement, you like that version. Okay, because it\u2019s tinnier. We took the low end out of that. For those of you in Rio Linda, we took the bass out and it\u2019s just very tinny. I think we need to add maybe some static, but here\u2019s the thing, now. Many of — and Krehley, back me up on this. Many of our broadcast affiliates are AM stations, and I don\u2019t know that they\u2019re going to– we can easily hear the EQ difference here in our state-of-the-art studio. When you\u2019re driving around in your car or whatever at home and you\u2019re listening on your AM radio, I don\u2019t know that the frequency response, the signal-to-noise ratio, the disgronification factor, in other words, is going to be high-tech enough for people to hear that that\u2019s as tinny as we hear it. So we\u2019re still working on this. <\/p>\n

I don\u2019t want anybody doubting that we\u2019re making up these things that I\u2019ve said from the past. I know that many of you listen all day, every day, but not everybody does. Snerdley is saying, ‘How does that solve the problem? They can still say you did it the day before, or that morning and so forth.\u2019 That\u2019s a good point. By the way, on the time capsule, we\u2019ve come up with a way here to date it. A notary public. Just get a notary public come in here, sign an affidavit, this is when we put the stuff in the time capsule. You know, get some food in here with an expiration date, you can\u2019t fake that. But Snerdley\u2019s got a good point. I guess we\u2019ll just have to continue to rely on the — maybe we could play it backwards and have people listen to the subliminal messages in it that way, I don\u2019t know.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: We\u2019ll start in Detroit. This is Keith, and welcome to the program, sir. Nice to have you with us.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Rush, it is such an honor to talk to you. I have been listening to you since I was a student at the liberal bastion of learning, Oakland University in Rochester, Michigan, back since 1991. And I am so honored to talk to you.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Thank you very much, sir. It\u2019s great to have you here with us.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Thank you. I just wanted to tell you: I listened to you at the top of the hour when you were playing back the two formats for when you were quoting some older material.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Yeah, the See, I Told You So stuff.<\/p>\n

CALLER: Yes. I gotta tell you that the second one where you used the equalizer and you took out the bass, is great. I\u2019m listening to you on WJR-AM radio here in Detroit, and it sounded perfect.<\/p>\n

RUSH: Terrific! So the super heterodyne whine of AM radio, you still were able to hear the loss of bass EQ?<\/p>\n

CALLER: Absolutely.<\/p>\n

RUSH: That\u2019s good. I think we\u2019re going to go with that one. WJR is a huge affiliate, and they are using the latest digital techniques on AM radio. If you could notice it on JR, that\u2019s great. A lot of complaints about the first version, the speeded-up version. Nobody likes that. Even F. Lee Levin, who\u2019s got the flu and is in bed rose from his bed to go to his iPhone to tell me it stunk. (laughter) So I appreciate that, Keith. Thank very much. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
