## Resource

This episode reviews an unlisted YouTube video from the ATF's own website featuring interviews with agents who were at Waco, conducted 25 years after the siege. The hosts examine how these official interviews reveal shocking levels of gaslighting, contradictory statements, and disturbing cheerfulness when discussing a tragedy that resulted in multiple deaths including children. It's a rare glimpse into how the perpetrators of a controversial law enforcement action chose to tell their own story.
