Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite, gun-toting, Bible-clinging, deplorable American. Todd Starnes.

Well, hello, everybody. Welcome to the Todd Starnes Radio Show. Great to have you with us today. And ladies and gentlemen, I have to tell you, if you've already been listening, you know the voice is, it's not where it should be. And a little under the weather today, which is a bit unfortunate, because we have a lot going on, a lot happening across the country. We have primaries happening. We've got socialists poised to win big elections. The Islamists are on the move. And my brand new book is officially in bookstores today. But I, and so bear with me here. We're going to get through all of this together. We have the great Andy Hoosier on standby.
And in the event, I am not able to fulfill the duties of this office. Andy Hoosier, the vice talk show host. Well, that kind of came out wrong, but the backup guy is going to be here ready to jump in. And he's probably going to do that at the second hour of the show. But I knew I just had to get behind the microphone today. And let me just say, Parker, the lovely Shelby, who is our, she manages the office, and she's the one that runs the errands, you know, because we can't, you know, we can't get out and do things. She literally raided Germantown Pharmacy. And I have like an entire drug store down. So I am hopped up on Dayquil, Ricola, and something called Throat Coat Tea. So if I had to, I would probably not pass a drug test right now.
That's where I'm at.
So ladies and gentlemen, let me just say that we had a great time over the weekend. In California, Southern California, our good friend, Pastor Jack Hibbs, invited me to come and speak to the church down there. And we just had a wonderful, wonderful time. They have thousands and thousands of people that attend that church, and got to meet just about all of them. And it was such an honor to be able to shake so many hands and hug so many folks. The weather is so nice in California that I got sick. I mean, that's how great it is out there. But anyway, we did a book signing, and for, gosh, what, three hours, signed copies of The Golden Age, How Trump Saved America, and we're already getting so many great reviews. This evening, if you are in the Memphis area, Senator Marshall Blackburn and Congressman David Custof, among others, are going to be at the book signing at the Barnes and Noble Wolfchase Galleria. That's 5 o'clock to 6 o'clock tonight, and we would love to see you there. I'll be signing books, and I'll be on drugs too, but that'll just make it, I guess, that much more entertaining and that much more fun. So anyway, we would love to see you there. And wherever you are around the country, we want to encourage you to go and get a copy of the book today. For the next seven days, the counter is on for the New York Times Best Seller List. So we're really hoping to hit that list. People are loving the stories out of the Golden Age, and to a person, they tell me we had no idea that this was actually a spiritual book, that there is a spiritual message in all of this, and there is a spiritual message. And so it's going to be... I'm excited for you to read it. It's going to be a lot of fun. Also had a chance to visit with all of our great friends in Lancaster, California, West Coast Baptist College. So it was a very busy couple of days out on the left coast. All right. We've got a lot to talk about today. There are some big primaries underway. And by the way, we're going to try... Helen, I feel led to do something here. So let's do this. We're going to...
This is going to be a...
I'm calling it audible.
And this may be the drugs talking. But here's the deal. We're going to give away a copy of The Golden Age. We're going to give away a copy. This is like a $30 book. It's a huge book. That's why it cost a lot to produce these books. So Helen, here's the deal. The winner is... We're going to say caller number four, caller number five. But here's the deal. They could... You cannot have won anything in the history of the Todd Starnes Show. We want this for like new listeners. So if you've never won something, you give us a call, 901-260-5926.
