“I wish we could turn it on and say, 'oh, let's make that tornado go away,' but our weather radar and all of the weather radars in the U.S. are built strictly to inform and warn the public, and to keep the public safe -- and that's exactly why we have our live radar."

That’s always the problem with these sort of conspiracy theories, if the government or big media could control the weather, why isn’t it optimized for maximum growth? Why would they be throwing tornados and other natural disasters out that wreck productivity? This is why these things always end up falling back on anti-Semitic cabals to explain their delusions.

If we had the ability to control the weather, do we use the tech to guarantee ample rainfall and stable temperatures in agricultural regions to ensure successful crops? Maybe bring rain to drought and fire stricken areas? Nah, let's use it to send floods and tornadoes against ourselves.
