McDonald's is dealing with an E. coli outbreak linked to slivered onions on Quarter Pounders across 13 states. The hosts speculate on the timing of the outbreak, noting that McDonald's recently sued major beef suppliers Tyson, Cargill, and JBS for price fixing, suggesting potential corporate retaliation.

Following Donald Trump's highly publicized campaign stop at a Pennsylvania McDonald's, the CDC reported a deadly E. coli outbreak linked to Quarter Pounders. The outbreak, which primarily affected Colorado, resulted in one death and dozens of hospitalizations. The hosts suggest the timing of the report is suspicious, noting the illnesses occurred weeks before the news was prioritized.
