The hosts note the lack of Western media coverage regarding the American corporate interests on the flight. Technical analysis suggests the plane stalled during a "go-around" maneuver at approximately 2,000 feet.

The hosts criticize the lack of public exploration of this technology. They also discuss the "smart grid" and smart meters as tools for training consumers to use less electricity while prices continue to rise.

In Texas, electricity is being imported from coal plants in Mexico built by GE, effectively moving the pollution across the border rather than eliminating it. The hosts describe this as a form of "corporatism" that benefits large entities like GE at the expense of domestic energy independence.

They also discuss how corporate "underwriting" on PBS by companies like GE, Pfizer, and Chevron functions as a way to control reporting. They argue that these companies don't advertise products on public television but rather buy influence over the network's content.

They argue that advertisements from companies like GE and Boeing on mainstream news networks are not intended to sell products to consumers. Instead, these ads are characterized as "payoffs" to ensure the media outlets align with corporate and government agendas.
