During a discussion on Rachel Maddow's show regarding the confirmation of Jeff Sessions for Attorney General, the phrase "teased out" was used repeatedly to describe the investigation into his record.

They explore potential links to the Boeing 787 Dreamliner (matching Austin's 787 area code) and the possibility of a staged EMP or "boom" event to justify new security technology. The movie "Olympus Has Fallen" is cited as part of the cultural conditioning for such an event.

The term "climate change" is reinterpreted as a code word for shifts in the political, financial, and economic "climate" rather than environmental weather patterns.
