Primary Elections and Back-to-School

**SPEAKER_1** (0:10)
Live from the Liberty University Studio in Memphis, Tennessee, it's America's favorite gun-toting, Bible-clanging, deplorable America.

**SPEAKER_2** (0:25)
Todd Starnes.

**Andy Hooser** (0:28)
What is up, my friends? Welcome into it. It is the Todd Starnes radio program. No, it is not Todd Starnes. He is out still feeling a bit under the weather, and we wish him all the best to get feeling better. He can take that hot tea, he can take the sweet tea, he can gurgle with whatever he needs to, and he'll be back at it behind the microphone before you know it, but we wish him all the best and get feeling better. He did do his book signing last night. Dylan, I know you said that you watched the video of him on social media, and he was out there, so he did meet and greet, and shake all the hands, and kiss all the babies, and sign all the books that I know that you were looking forward to doing so, but he was not speaking the best with his voice. And of course, as talk radio hosts, we get it. When we get sick for whatever reason, it goes directly to our throat, and I totally understand. So all the best to him. We wish him the best. My name is Andy Hooser. I'll be filling in for you today here on the Todd Starnes Radio Program. And he gave me apparently a title yesterday when he was saying that we may potentially fill in as the vice talk show host of the Todd Starnes Radio Program. Look, I mean, if that's the level he's seeing, that's a great honor. So Todd, we love you, my friend. Get feeling better. And we got this. We look forward to filling in for you today on the program. There is a lot to talk about today. Primary elections last night were crazy in states across the nation. We will break some of that down. Also, do you actually trust the electoral process in the voting and election process in general? Because apparently there was some oopsies that happened in the state of Wisconsin.
Yeah, like in Milwaukee, Wisconsin. Probably more of the blue area, I'm assuming, just because it's a bit more congregated in a larger city for the state. We'll get to that here in just a moment. If you want to jump in on the program, you can at 901-260-5926, 901-260-5926.
Again, my name is Andy Hooser. We are moving that Liberty University Studios out from Memphis, Tennessee to Wichita, Kansas where I am based out of at KQAM, Wichita's Big Talker, my flagship station, and a great radio affiliate of the Todd Starnes Radio Program. Before we get to all of that though, Dylan, jump on for just a moment. Did you know we made it? We survived We Are Alive today after a doomsday prediction that was floating around social media of something that was supposed to happen today. Do you remember what that was?

**Dylan** (2:39)
It's not the gravity one, is it?

**Andy Hooser** (2:41)
Yes, it was the gravity one today. Yes, that was supposed to happen today.
So for those that don't know, there was a, and this started, I want to say, about a year ago, maybe beginning of the year in January, there was a rumor, a conspiracy theory floating, and I always really enjoy doomsday predictions of when the end of the world is going to happen. But today supposedly was the day, according to certain viral conspiracies that were floating around out there, that at 9.33 Eastern time this morning, on Wednesday, August 12th, because today is Wednesday, right? Yeah, August 12th, at 9:33 a.m. Eastern time, that we, the earth was supposed to lose gravity for eight and a half seconds.
And that eight and a half seconds was supposed to make buildings, make cars, nothing that's like not like strapped down to the actual physical earth to float for eight seconds without any gravity. And then after that eight and a half seconds, it was supposed to come crashing back down. It was supposed to demolish like 80 percent of the world population. And then supposedly, we were only supposed to get like 50 percent of the gravity back, which was going to change our biology and how our bodies actually function, making everybody sick and less bone density and so on and so forth. But that prediction was supposed to happen today. So the fact that we are still here, we're still alive means another failed doomsday prediction that was supposed to happen today. Wow.

**Dylan** (4:02)
Congratulations to us, I guess, for surviving that.

**Andy Hooser** (4:04)
Congratulations to us. Now you might ask, how are we supposed to lose gravity? According to the theory, it was like, I don't remember, it was like two black holes that are like really, really far away, thousands of light years away, but they were supposed to like interact because they were exactly the same distance from us on either side of us with our galaxy or something. I don't remember. And just the way the energy was supposed to hit us, that we were supposed to be in that sweet spot to where they were going to collide with their energies and then it was going to mess up the gravitational pull. So which makes no sense, by the way, because as far as we understand with gravity, it's from, you know, obviously from the sun that holds the earth in rotation around it and gravity within the earth itself that holds us down. So I don't know how that was supposed to do it, but that was the theory and we survived it. So kudos to you. Congratulations. You're still alive today. What I do find quite interesting is not only the fact that we are still alive after a gravitational lapse in humanity, but also the elections that happened last night. And look, the numbers were interesting. We were able to beat off at least one of the Democratic Socialists, the crazy radical progressives that were running for the governor's race in Wisconsin. But that's not to say something couldn't change.
