RUSH: Okay, now, folks, I know that you know that I am not a big-time social media guy. I have steadfastly opposed it in a number of ways, and I have not used social media as most people do. We\u2019ve got Twitter pages, and we\u2019ve got Facebook pages. We use them primarily as promotional vehicles for RushLimbaugh.com, the Rush Limbaugh radio program, and other things that we do here.<\/p>\n

However, we have three weeks left in this game, if you want to refer to it as such — three weeks — and we\u2019re gonna leave everything on the field. We\u2019re not going to go at this in a half manner. This is about preserving the American way of life. This is about… It\u2019s a real simple concept. I think what this election is about is real simple.<\/p>\n

It is about a man and his supporters who think America is good — and I don\u2019t mean great in the sense that, “Yeah, man, America\u2019s great!” I don\u2019t mean it in that sense. America is decent. America is good. America is the good guys. America is the solution to the world\u2019s problems. America is not the problem. America is good. It is decent.<\/p>\n

And we are opposed by people who are behind Joe Biden who very simply do not believe that America is good, much less great. They just don\u2019t believe that America is good. They believe that America is the problem in the world. They believe that America\u2019s founding is unjust and racist and bigoted and homophobic and all of these things.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>They believe that America is the instrument, is the people, is the population — the nation — that has made the world a worse place. This is their belief. They, thus, want to gain control of this country to implement a policy agenda which addresses these grievances. They wish to get rid of capitalism. They wish to get rid of laissez-faire economics. They want to get rid of personal liberty and freedom.<\/p>\n

They don\u2019t believe in it. They believe it\u2019s the root cause of our problems. They believe that liberty and freedom are the primary suspects in the lack of equality, in not just the world but in America. They believe that the United States is guilty. They want to gain control of the levers of power to change this. We don\u2019t believe any of this. Donald Trump doesn\u2019t believe any of this.<\/p>\n

Donald Trump believes — and you believe, and I believe — that America is great. America is exceptional. America is the good guys. America is the solution to the world\u2019s problems. America is the repository for freedom. America is the repository for equality and decency. America is where Western civilization and the American way of life will be preserved while it is under massive assault.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s what this election\u2019s about.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s not about somebody that tweets too much. It\u2019s not about somebody who\u2019s maybe a little vulgar here or there or whatever. It\u2019s not about that at all. It is about so much more than that, and so I have decided we have gotten rid of… We haven\u2019t gotten rid of yet, but we\u2019re just abandoning all the previous Twitter and Facebook accounts and I have opened a new one.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Okay. Just to make sure: Our Facebook, the new Facebook page is not up yet. We just got started here with Twitter, and I want to give you the new handle. I\u2019m gonna tell you what we\u2019re gonna do with it. We\u2019re firing up a new Twitter account to be able to tweet out the brilliant utterances that occur on this program in a moment\u2019s notice. Video clips, for example.<\/p>\n

Something I say on this program that can be video-clipped in a minute, minute and a half, whatever, or longer, we want to be able to jam it back out rather than have it part of a massive 30-minute monologue and transcript. It\u2019s just a matter of focusing on things that we think are poignant and meaningful. Now, the new handle is @RealRLimbaugh<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\"\"That is the new handle. Any other handles that you are using for us on Twitter… We haven\u2019t broomed them because we don\u2019t want those names to be used by others, but the only Twitter handle that you should pay attention to going forward is @RealRLimbaugh<\/a>. And this is for these next three weeks, folks, we\u2019re gonna use everything at our disposal here.<\/p>\n

Write that handle down, scrap all the other fake ones out there, and be sure to follow it, and look out for new wisdom as we post it. It\u2019s gonna be fun. And, as I say, it\u2019s not a capitulation. It\u2019s taking the availability of a weapon that we have at our disposal and finding a way to use it as effectively as we can.<\/p>\n

BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n

RUSH: Let me run through this one more time then we\u2019ll hit the brakes and get back to the phones. I know what my reputation is on social media. I know I rip it, and that hasn\u2019t changed. I think all the things about social media I\u2019ve been critical of are still relevant. But we got three weeks left here, folks. Three weeks left to preserve the American way of life. That\u2019s what I think this election is about. We\u2019re gonna leave everything on the field in support of Trump. In fact, we\u2019re gonna use as much at our disposal as we can.<\/p>\n

Trump\u2019s the last man standing as a wall between the American way of life that we know and a radical left agenda that seeks basically to destroy this country as founded. So we fired up a new Twitter account. We\u2019ve had a bunch of them out there, and we\u2019ve used them for various things. We\u2019ve never used Twitter as most people do. Most people use Twitter, post your 140 character thing, you hit send and then you hope you haven\u2019t gotten yourself in trouble. That\u2019s not how we\u2019ve used it. We\u2019ve used it to cross-promote between RushLimbaugh.com and other vehicles. And that\u2019s primarily what\u2019s going to continue.<\/p>\n

But we are going to use Twitter and this new Twitter account as a means of furthering the cause. This new Twitter account has a new handle, and this is the only handle that you should use from now on in accessing my Twitter account. It is @RealRLimbaugh. @RealRLimbaugh<\/a>.<\/p>\n

We\u2019re gonna be able to tweet out brilliance in a moment\u2019s notice anything that I happen to say that we can make a short video clip out of and post it and get it out there, that\u2019s how we intend to — I may be writing some posts, I don\u2019t know. But primarily it\u2019s a way to provide instant distribution beyond the radio program of things that happen on the radio program, because that is the objective. So, be sure to follow and be sure to look out for what you\u2019re going to revel in as new wisdom is being posted @RealRLimbaugh. That\u2019s the new handle.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
