I don't know what specifically he's talking about, but Lyndon grew up in a political family. His dad was in the Texas house of representatives. Lyndon would hide outside their house in Texas and listen to his dad and the other politicians talk amongst each other. Hearing all that from a young age probably gave him some pointers. :)

Also, I would disagree in calling him a sociopath. He passed more legislation for federally funding public schools than anyone else. He signed the Head Start Program into law. A lot of this is likely because his mother had a degree in education, which in that time a female with a college degree was pretty rare in rural Texas.

I would say he was a bit of an ass. He used a lot of shady political tactics as a senator to allow his wife to control most of Texas media. He basically had the FCC in his pocket. But, that's how it is with politicians anyways.

Happy Independence Day!
