Sheapers Cripes.

So roll out the barrel and get the band brewing.

Life's got you down.

Just keep her moving.

Welcome to the Cripes cast.

This is the podcast where we talk to people for and or from the Midwest I'm your host

Charlie Barons this week we're talking about conspiracy theories now sometimes

conspiracy theories are fairly benign and they don't hurt anyone.

Like when I say I believe Elvis and Tupac are still alive and they're living on

island with Finns Lombardi, that not only doesn't hurt anyone, but it's also

absolutely true, but other times they do have real life consequences like

Pizza Gate comes to mind. That's when that dude, Egger Welsh, I think his name was, he took over a

pizza place in DC in 2016. He fired off an AR-15 inside. He kind of took the whole place place over all because he thought Democrats had

child sex slaves in the basement so turned out not to be true though also more

recently we saw the militia in Michigan who tried to kidnap the

governor. They were big Alex Jones fans and also they shared a bunch of those

pandemic videos that said the pandemic is a hoax and all that sort of stuff.

But look liberals and conservatives fall for conspiracy theories.

I mean Sean Hannity and Rachel Madel both have you, they've danced around half truths to say the least.

And even the president began his political rise with a conspiracy that Obama was not born in the US.

Obviously that's false, but my guest today

is Milwaukee-based author T-Crulos.
