CNN analysts argue that President Trump's use of the word "infested" is a racist code specifically reserved for black and brown people.

The "Phrase from the Jays" for this episode is "Friend of Dorothy," a historical code term used within the LGBTQ community.

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.

The movie "Olympus Has Fallen" is cited as part of the cultural conditioning for such an event.
