At the beginning of 1993, the ATF was at risk of being defunded. They needed a big break, a big victory to show the federal government just how valuable the agency could be. Acting on some dubious tips, the ATF drafted a plan to execute a search warrant for illegal firearms at the home of a religious group called the Branch Davidians. The plan became "Operation Showtime" and the objective was to raid the religious group's home with guns blazing while news media captured it all on video... What could possibly go wrong?

In today's episode, Jordan and Dylan are joined by Pastor Charles Pace, the caretaker of the New Mt. Carmel Center. Since 1995, Charles and his wife Alexa have been caring for the property once inhabited by David Koresh and his followers. After making renovations and creating a new chapel and visitor center at the site, Charles and Alexa call Mt. Carmel "home." Charles tells Jordan and Dylan about the Branch Davidians, the views of David Koresh, and Ellen White's prophecy of the Ezekiel Slaughter. The trio examine the political aspects of the Waco incident before discussing what it means to be a Branch Davidian in 2019 and how it can be possible for a new community to flourish at Mt. Carmel.

In the late '90s, Amarillo, TX was a pressure cooker of social tension. The city's youth were sharply divided by subculture. Tribal teenage violence was commonplace, and for one young punk, the violence would turn deadly.
