Two days after former president Donald Trump claimed immigrants are eating cats and dogs, and babies are being executed after birth, Jon and Lewis discuss how deep-rooted conspiracy theories have become in American politics.

They’re joined in the studio by Gabriel Gatehouse, whose book ‘The Coming Storm’ delves deep into the world of conspiracy, to find out just how much it is dominating American political discourse.

So why is America so pre-disposed to conspiracy? How will it affect the election? And just how much is it tearing American society apart?
