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.

Arellano warns that HHS is purchasing new locations on the East Coast to prepare for a surge of refugees from the Middle East. He describes existing facilities in Carrizo Springs and Pecos, Texas, as "gulags" where children are housed in former oil rig camps. He urges the public to film these facilities and the transport vans at small airports to create a record of the activity.
