Well, hopefully at the end of this episode, no one will remember talking about George Michael's Christmas song.
Yeah, like I hope that comes across in this episode because I know we're going to get a little probably riled up here and there about like how it was handled.
But I'll go ahead and just say my takeaway at the beginning.
You know, you can't you can't hole up and be a pedophile in a house and you can't illegally like collect and sell and modify guns into machine guns and sell those like no one's disputing that stuff.
I think the issue is the way this all went down in the end when it could have probably gone down with the loss of zero lives, much less the loss of, what was it, 86 people total?
Yeah, so that's sort of the issue at hand for me personally.
Well, let's talk about the Branch Davidians, eh?
Two days ago, I thought that Davidians came from David Koresh.
I thought they got that name from him as their leader, just because I didn't know a ton about it, aside from kind of following it as it happened when I was in college on the news.
But the Branch Davidians, they got that name because in 1955, a guy named Benjamin Rodin started a branch, a new sect of Seventh-day Adventists, a Davidian sect, which had, you know, to do with the monarchy of Israel under King David.
It had nothing to do with David Koresh's David.
But some of them fully believed he was the Messiah, by the way.
