This is Bill. I\u2019m glad you called, sir. Hi.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Mega dittos, Rush.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Thank you.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-285066\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/APP-091918-EIB-Callers.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/APP-091918-EIB-Callers.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/09\/APP-091918-EIB-Callers-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>CALLER: One thing that we have to do is realize the danger we\u2019re in. These people, the Democrats, they\u2019re energized and they are funded. And we have a population that is absolutely divided. There are those of us who are Trump supporters, of which I\u2019m one, and then you got the ones that would vote for Bernie or even Biden, forbid the thought.<\/p>\n<p>And so on our side of the board, we can never assume that Trump is gonna win. We gotta treat this as a white knuckle fight right to the end. And we\u2019re gonna have to go after the undecideds who are all over the board. And I\u2019ve heard some of the original Trump voters say that they are becoming discouraged with Trump and won\u2019t vote for him again in 2020. The thing is, they have to know that if we lose that White House and any one of these &#8212; and these are communists, all of them. They\u2019re not Democrats. The Democrat Party by and large is dead.<\/p>\n<p>What we have out there is a bunch of communists who want to take this country straight to Marxism. And if people want a country where you can\u2019t buy meat, you can\u2019t own a gun, you can\u2019t have a car, you can\u2019t travel as you would, this Green New Deal is a communist thing, if they don\u2019t want this, we have got to be as firm as possible on the side of Donald Trump and make it a life-and-death battle.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I don\u2019t disagree with you. But are you suggesting that I am sounding too overconfident here and that I am not sounding enough of a call to alarms here about this?<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: Perhaps, yeah, Rush. I mean, you sound &#8212; this is no time for overconfidence. We are in major, major peril, Rush. And this is a time to sound the alarm and get our forces marshaled and in step to vote for Trump, including the ones that have &#8212;<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Well, I understand you\u2019re saying this. I don\u2019t mean to be rude and interrupt, but I\u2019ve got a limited amount of time before the segment ends.<\/p>\n<p>CALLER: I understand.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-307126\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/APP-042419-Rush-Constitution-Flag-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/APP-042419-Rush-Constitution-Flag-2.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/APP-042419-Rush-Constitution-Flag-2-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>RUSH: I want to react to you. I spend every hour of this program sounding the alarm. When I go elsewhere, I make a concerted effort, even on this program, at all times, no matter how bad it is, I try to at least be optimistic in a realistic sense. Because being pessimistic isn\u2019t gonna get anything done.<\/p>\n<p>Now, calling people to alarm, you know, call to arms is much different than being pessimistic. Pessimistic is defeated. I don\u2019t feel defeated. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a fait accompli that we\u2019re going to lose. If I did, I would be doing something else. And I do think that being positive and confident is a much better way to encourage people than depressing them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: I make a concerted effort, even on this program, at all times, no matter how bad it is, I try to at least be optimistic in a realistic sense. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":49,"featured_media":307126,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","ngg_post_thumbnail":0},"categories":[12,1],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v17.6 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>I Sound the Alarm Here Every Day - With Optimism - The Rush Limbaugh Show<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/admin.rushlimbaugh.com\/daily\/2019\/04\/24\/i-sound-the-alarm-here-every-day-with-optimism\/\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:title\" content=\"I Sound the Alarm Here Every Day - With Optimism - The Rush Limbaugh Show\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:description\" content=\"RUSH: I make a concerted effort, even on this program, at all times, no matter how bad it is, I try to at least be optimistic in a realistic sense.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:image\" content=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/APP-042419-Rush-Constitution-Flag-2.jpg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"George Prayias\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"3 minutes\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/admin.rushlimbaugh.com\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/admin.rushlimbaugh.com\/\",\"name\":\"The Rush Limbaugh Show\",\"description\":\"Excellence In Broadcasting\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/admin.rushlimbaugh.com\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"ImageObject\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/admin.rushlimbaugh.com\/daily\/2019\/04\/24\/i-sound-the-alarm-here-every-day-with-optimism\/#primaryimage\",\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/APP-042419-Rush-Constitution-Flag-2.jpg\",\"contentUrl\":\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/04\/APP-042419-Rush-Constitution-Flag-2.jpg\",\"width\":640,\"height\":360},{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/admin.rushlimbaugh.com\/daily\/2019\/04\/24\/i-sound-the-alarm-here-every-day-with-optimism\/#webpage\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/admin.rushlimbaugh.com\/daily\/2019\/04\/24\/i-sound-the-alarm-here-every-day-with-optimism\/\",\"name\":\"I Sound the Alarm Here Every Day - With Optimism - The Rush Limbaugh Show\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/admin.rushlimbaugh.com\/#website\"},\"primaryImageOfPage\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/admin.rushlimbaugh.com\/daily\/2019\/04\/24\/i-sound-the-alarm-here-every-day-with-optimism\/#primaryimage\"},\"datePublished\":\"2019-04-24T19:08:00+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2019-04-25T20:19:17+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/admin.rushlimbaugh.com\/#\/schema\/person\/a2bc43fbe4b4e1ff4d1f092c6086a349\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/admin.rushlimbaugh.com\/daily\/2019\/04\/24\/i-sound-the-alarm-here-every-day-with-optimism\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/admin.rushlimbaugh.com\/daily\/2019\/04\/24\/i-sound-the-alarm-here-every-day-with-optimism\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/admin.rushlimbaugh.com\/daily\/2019\/04\/24\/i-sound-the-alarm-here-every-day-with-optimism\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"I Sound the Alarm Here Every Day &#8212;
