>> Moments before we went to air tonight, a plane apparently crashed at a general mills plant, food
plant in Covington Georgia, six tractor trailers were reportedly on fire. You're seeing pictures
from the scene right now. This is the second time in a week that something like this has happened.
On April 14th a plane crashed into the Gem state processing in East Idaho.
What's going on here? Well, the story gets weirder. Food processing plants all
over the country seem to be catching fire. This happen of course, but this is a lot
of industrial accidents at food processing facilities.
At the same time, the president's warning us about food shortages,
were gonna hit by planes and catching fire. What is going on here exactly? Jason Rants
hosts a radio show in Seattle and joins us to put it into perspective.
Jason good to see you. >> Good to see you.
Yeah, obviously, when something happens every so often you obviously hope that there's no
significant damage and certainly no one gets hurt. But you kinda write it off, it's not that
big of a deal, accidents happen. But when you've got well over a dozen food processing plants
and warehouses getting destroyed or seriously damaged over just the last few weeks at a
time when the food supply is already vulnerable, it's obviously suspicious.
And it could lead to serious food shortages. That's why some folks are now wondering,
well, number one, what's going on? You've got some people speculating that this might be
an intentional way to disrupt the food supply. >> Okay, and so, Biden is obviously responsible
for that, even though they already identified that he's warning about food shortages.
So, it seems like he's taking the threat seriously and presumably food shortages not generally a
thing that helps the incumbent president. But they've been able to spin this conspiracy theory
that at the end of the day isn't about Tucker Carlson. He found this on right wing forums. It's
a thing that's been going around and he is now spreading it to millions of his viewers, David.
And he's found a way that what he thinks is a pattern of food
processing plants being knocked out by, I guess saboteurs or industrial terrorists,
is in some way designed to help Joe Biden, presumably. I don't necessarily follow it.
>> Yeah, it doesn't have to make sense for them to sell this.
I mean, as long as they say, all these things are happening,
Joe Biden is president. My God, look what's going on. That's ultimately,
the only thoughts I have to connect here. They can turn anything into a conspiracy.
Like, I forgot, where's my glass of water? I thought I brought it here.
It's not here. It must be big coffee. Big coffee took my glass of water. They wanted
more coffee instead of water. Like it's so dumb that a normal person would see this and think,
hey, maybe workplace safety is an issue. Maybe look into that all these fires are happening.
Maybe that's the problem. But no, they look at it, it's Biden conspiracy, food shortage,
there you go, that's all you need. >> Exactly, yeah, there are tons of
COVID outbreaks of food processing plants under Trump, was that Trump trying to destroy the food
like distribution network? No, that was the corporation's not caring about their workers
and the same sort of corporations that don't do enough to stop COVID outbreaks,
maybe they're not taking fires serious enough.
By the way, this is just the law of large numbers, like they're spreading,
if we could go to the map, we jump ahead of Liz Churchill. My God, we're not allowed
to talk about this again. Who is censoring you talking about this
conspiracy theory? But anyway, you can see there, my God, there's been fires.
First of all, they're talking about fires or accidents
over literally years. Okay, that's what they don't say in this image.
Do you know how many food processing plants there are in America? Over 25,000, there are gonna be
fires and accidents at some of them every once in a while, this is what conspiracy theorists do.
They take unavoidable obvious truths and then pretend that it's a nefarious connection. I don't
think that that's what's going on and I would remind you again, if it was happening, it would
hurt, Biden you're doing this. I don't understand why it's so difficult to get them to understand.
