Representative Lauren Boebert is noted for confusing Roger Stone's research with Oliver Stone's film during a recent hearing. Roger Stone reiterates the importance of Madeline Brown's testimony, as she was LBJ's mistress and claimed Johnson admitted to the JFK plot. The segment highlights the ongoing public "catching up" with decades of research into the 1963 assassination and its ties to modern deep state tactics.

Roger Stone links LBJ to the 1967 attack on the USS Liberty, claiming the president approved the Israeli strike as a provocation to start a war with Egypt. Stone criticizes Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer Robert Caro for omitting the Billy Sol Estes corruption scandal from his work. The narrative suggests a long-standing pattern of LBJ collaborating with foreign interests to advance his political agenda.

Shane Stevens, grandson of the late Texas financier Billy Sol Estes, joins the program to discuss never-before-heard audio tapes involving LBJ's inner circle. The tapes feature conversations between Estes and Clifton C. Carter, a top LBJ associate and former DNC head. Stevens explains that the recordings were kept as a "dead man's switch" to protect his grandfather from being killed during the cover-up of the JFK assassination.

Shane Stevens recounts his grandfather's rise as a wealthy Texas businessman and his eventual downfall in a cotton allotment scandal. The FBI investigation into Estes, requested by JFK, threatened to expose LBJ's involvement in the scheme. Stevens describes how his grandfather began recording conversations with high-level officials as insurance against the "Texas Syndicate" that controlled the state's politics.

Shane Stevens explains that the tapes were recorded in 1972 as insurance for Billy Sol Estes after he was released from prison. The audio captures Clifton Carter expressing regret and fear regarding the numerous people killed to protect LBJ's secrets. The host notes that the tapes provide a rare window into the psychological state of LBJ's confidants as the "Texas Mafia" began to collapse.

The program premieres the full audio recording of a conversation between Billy Sol Estes and Clifton C. Carter. In the tape, Carter admits that LBJ ordered the "embarrassment" of Kennedy to be handled and discusses the mysterious deaths of 17 people, including Henry Marshall. The two men reflect on LBJ's belief that he was "destined to rule" and the heavy toll his actions took on his associates.
