RUSH: Folks, I have to continue to thank you. We had another bang-up week last week with people downloading the Rush Limbaugh app and becoming members at RushLimbaugh.com.<\/a> And I want to stress something. We are at peak. Every week now we are setting a record, all-time record for members of Rush 24\/7<\/a>. And I cannot tell you how gratifying it is.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

But I want to continue to emphasize, the Rush Limbaugh app<\/a>, you don\u2019t have to pay anything to use it. You don\u2019t have to pay anything to get a lot from it. Now, the one thing with the app, either on the iPhone<\/a> or if you have a Samsung or Android phone<\/a>, you don\u2019t have access to audio or video streaming, the Dittocam or audio streams, but you do have access to all of the transcripts.<\/p>\n

Now, the transcripts of every segment here are, in essence, the same as blog posts or columns, except I don\u2019t write them; I speak them. And then they are transcribed. And if we have time, we clean them up, punctuation, grammar here and there. But I use a lot of words. I say a lot of words. Our transcribers are working feverishly just getting all the words down. We try to get these transcripts up as quickly as we can.<\/p>\n

Now, the benefit to having transcripts is that it\u2019s much easier to share them. For example, you hear something on the program that you like, that makes a lot of sense, that\u2019s something you may not have thought of before and you want to tell somebody or a bunch of other people, you don\u2019t have to remember it now.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>All you have to do is go to the RushLimbaugh.com app or the website and share the transcript with whoever. And then tell \u2019em where in the transcript the item of interest is, because these are long monologues, and the transcripts can be rather lengthy too. But it\u2019s one of the simplest ways to spread the word.<\/p>\n

There are other areas of the website that are available totally free, and one of those areas contains video, video highlights of the Dittocam, video highlights of some of my old TV appearances, video highlights from the old Rush TV show from 1992 to 1996. So there is video, just not live streaming of the Dittocam.<\/p>\n

There are also podcasts that are available to members, and we\u2019re working on a much easier intuitive way of signing up for those. But podcasts were one of the first things that we began offering long before podcasts became the big deal that they are now. Our podcasts are every hour of the program. There are three of them each day, representing each hour. There are no commercials, and so each hour you can listen to it in 40 minutes.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s encyclopedic, the amount of data or the amount of information that is discussed here and imparted is voluminous! And you have access to all of it! And, by the way, in the transcripts, if I\u2019m bouncing off of things that I\u2019ve seen in the news, the links to those things that I used are part of the transcript so that you can, if you wish, fact check.<\/p>\n

And if somebody says, “Well, yeah, he said that, well, how do you know it\u2019s true?” There\u2019s the link right there where I got it. And those things are easily shared. So what\u2019s happening is we\u2019ve redesigned the app. It\u2019s one of the reasons why it\u2019s being downloaded on so frequently. We\u2019ve redesigned it. It looks great. In fact, in part it was specifically designed for the iPhone X and the new OLED screen there.<\/p>\n

We\u2019ve designed it with a basic black base background color because on an OLED screen, that uses the least amount of battery life because a black screen, black areas of the screen, no power is used to illuminate, so it\u2019s not as much stress on the battery. But even if you don\u2019t have an OLED screen, if you don\u2019t have an iPhone X, it still looks really, really good.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>So I just wanted to spend another few minutes here to acknowledge this and thank everybody for downloading the app in record numbers, signing up for memberships<\/a>, \u2019cause it\u2019s exciting. As I said the other day, it is replicating the experience of way long ago when we were adding new stations every week. It\u2019s a sign of the growth that\u2019s taking place, of the excitement surrounding it all, it\u2019s a way to chronicle it and acknowledge it.<\/p>\n

And if I don\u2019t tell you, who will? If I don\u2019t tell you that we are at a record number of subscribers, record number of downloads, who will? The Drive-Bys won\u2019t. And I definitely want you to know. So, again, heartfelt thanks. Much gratitude. But also, it\u2019s really valuable. Twitter is, you know, shadow banning a lot of conservative comment, meaning people posting it don\u2019t even know it\u2019s sitting there not being linked anywhere.<\/p>\n

The guys at Project Veritas, James O\u2019Keefe, did a great job, secret videos inside Twitter<\/a>. And they discovered shadow banning. Basically what that is, you post something on Twitter and Facebook, whatever, you post it, and you expect it\u2019s gonna be seen, maybe retweeted, followed. Nobody sees it. It looks to you like it\u2019s there; you posted it. But they\u2019ve shadow banned so nobody else ever sees it. And if you don\u2019t notice that there aren\u2019t any reactions to it, no likes, retweets, or what have you, if you don\u2019t notice that, then you\u2019ll not know it\u2019s going on.<\/p>\n

Well, being able to share our transcripts here is a way of subverting the shadow banning and other attempts to silence conservatives in other areas of social media. And people are doing it. We have ways of knowing, although we don\u2019t track you individually. And we are constantly updating the app, upgrading it to make it an even better user experience. It\u2019s a constant, ongoing thing. And I will let you know each time we do.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
