RUSH: Now, ladies and gentlemen, I mentioned earlier that I had some news for you about the Limbaugh Letter. It\u2019s the most widely read political newsletter in the country. There are hundreds of thousands of subscribers to the Limbaugh Letter, and up to now it\u2019s only been available in print, obviously. It\u2019s a newsletter. It\u2019s monthly, and we sell it as a stand-alone subscription or as a joint subscription with premium status at Rush 24\/7<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Our encyclopedic website, RushLimbaugh.com.<\/p>\n

<\/a>And people have been begging us for the longest time to go digital. And one of the things that we were concerned about was piracy. Once it goes digital, how do you keep it secure and so forth? We\u2019ve dealt with that, and today it\u2019s online. The Limbaugh Letter <\/a>is online via the Apple Store and as an app. It\u2019s also available for the Android environment. You can get it for the iPad, the iPhone, for Android and for the Kindle Fire.<\/p>\n

We got word from Apple last night that it was approved as an app. So it went live, we\u2019ve been testing it, and it\u2019s out there now. Google, Amazon, and the App Store are all providing access to the digital version of the Limbaugh Letter: The Limbaugh eLetter. Starting today, it\u2019s available. We got notice of approval from Apple at the end of the day yesterday. So at midnight we loaded it into the Apple Store.<\/p>\n

What we\u2019re gonna do is make it available free for everybody through the election, and then offer monthly editions this fall (October, November, December) free for everybody to experience it and enjoy it and see it. I don\u2019t talk about my stuff much. I\u2019m nervous talking about my stuff as you well know. Others aren\u2019t. Others huckster their own stuff all day long. If you discover it and you like it, that\u2019s fine, but I get nervous taking up valuable broadcast time huckstering my own stuff.<\/p>\n

But this is an advancement and we\u2019re really proud of it. The Limbaugh Letter is… Do you realize the challenge? Here we do 15 hours live every week, and pretty much all of it is transcribed at RushLimbaugh.com. So if you visit there, I mean, you\u2019re pretty much covered. But then we have this monthly newsletter, and even with all of the data that ends up transcribed at the website, the newsletter remains a unique source of information and news.<\/p>\n

That is where I interview people.<\/p>\n

As you know, I don\u2019t like interviewing people because I\u2019m the expert. I don\u2019t like turning to other people because I have the answers. But once a month I interview somebody of prominence, and that interview runs in the Limbaugh Letter. It\u2019s one of the things that makes it unique. So it\u2019s up there now. It\u2019s at the App Store. You just search Limbaugh Letter. All of the links where you can find it are at our website, too. I told Koko, “Put all the links up at RushLimbaugh.com.”<\/p>\n

If you don\u2019t want to go to the App Store and search for it (it\u2019s easy to find if you do that), go to RushLimbaugh.com. It is an app that will be on one of your pages, the home page or otherwise on your i-device or your Android device. But you can also find the links to it at RushLimbaugh.com to find out where it is available. We\u2019ve included a lot of back issues el freebo for everybody to enjoy, including the September issue, the June issue, and the February issue this year.<\/p>\n

“Why do we choose those?”<\/p>\n

We threw it up against the wall and whichever ones stuck are the ones we put up there. No, they were said to be among the best, favorite issues of the year. So existing subscribers and all audience members (all of you) have free trial access to the Limbaugh eLetter this fall. And then starting in January 2013, we\u2019re gonna offer it at an annual subscription rate of $29.99. But from now through the rest of the year, there\u2019s no charge whatsoever.<\/p>\n

I know many of you have never seen it because you\u2019re all digital. You don\u2019t mess with things printed and put in the mail. We have maintained that format but we\u2019ve been intending to digitize it, ah, for the last two or three years, and finally we\u2019ve made that happen. Now, the app will always be free. And the app, of course, means people have another image of my smiling face on their iPads, iPhones and so forth.<\/p>\n

<\/a>You\u2019ll get access to the current editions, and that continues until the new year. Yeah. In fact, the Mia Love interview is what\u2019s current. She\u2019s running for Congress from Utah. She\u2019s the mayor of Saratoga Springs, Utah. She\u2019s African-American, and she\u2019s fabulous. She was great at the Republican convention, and this interview you\u2019re gonna love. So the Limbaugh eLetter is available now at the Apple App Store.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s also available on Google, Android, and the Kindle Fire. It\u2019s available everywhere that e-versions are available. If you want to see the various links, just go to RushLimbaugh.com. We have them all there at the top, and it\u2019s free for everybody to try until the end of the year. Starting in January, it\u2019s gonna cost you, and you\u2019ll be gladly willing to pay for it \u2019cause it\u2019s that good.<\/p>\n

In addition, Koko tells me that we have now linked to the entire Romney foreign policy speech from yesterday<\/a>. And it\u2019s up there now, too. I think people need to see the whole thing. We played three or four sound bites from it yesterday, but it was fabulous. It\u2019s a great setup for what\u2019s coming in the foreign policy debate, which is the next presidential debate. (interruption) The print edition of the Limbaugh Letter is not going away. Did somebody ask you that? No, no. No, no, no.<\/p>\n
