Summary

Live from the Vivarium in Milwaukee, the Cripescast is back with another installment of election discussions and fan questions. This time around, Charlie is joined by Dan Shafer, Political Editor at Civic Media and founder of The Recombobulation Area political column, and Steve Scaffidi, host of WTMJ’s The Steve Scaffidi show and former mayor of Oak Creek. With November 5th less than a week away, many people still have questions about the issues at stake in this election. Luckily, Dan and Steve are here to help break it down. They guide our listeners through an insightful discussion and answer crowd audience questions about many issues including reproductive healthcare, election reform, and the importance of local elections, just to name a few. As members of opposing political parties, Dan and Steve exemplify the importance of having civil political conversations to hopefully reduce the division amongst Americans.

0:00.0	Welcome to the Kripescast. This is the podcast where we talk to people for and or from the Midwest.
0:05.3	We are powered by Everlight Solar and here's this week's episode. Hey, everyone, welcome to another
0:10.3	episode of the Kripescast. We are just days away from the election. And I think I speak for
0:15.9	everyone when I say, thank you. Thank you, Jesus. This could not come soon enough. You know, I'll tell you this

0:28.6	This, I hope, is going to be the last political episode I do in a while. I know you guys don't

1:22.4	understand how the other side can feel the way they feel.
1:26.9	And that's really because some of us are operating
1:29.2	with facts and others are operating with lies presented as facts, you know, conspiracies.
