The Prophet and the Powder Keg

Grab a drink, take a seat, and join Kayde, Ben, Pam, and Elliot as they dive into one of the most controversial tragedies in modern American history: the Waco siege. In this episode, we explore the origins of the Branch Davidians, the rise of David Koresh, the warnings that drew federal attention, and the deadly ATF raid that turned Mount Carmel into a national flashpoint. We’ll break down the beliefs, the weapons allegations, the planning failures, and the chaos that left both agents and Davidians dead on February 28, 1993. As negotiations begin and the world turns its eyes toward Waco, the stage is set for a standoff that would change America forever.
