What better way to celebrate Thanksgiving week than with a cult episode? Today we explore one of the most infamous standoffs in American history - the 51 day siege of the Branch Davidian compound known as Mount Carmel in Waco, Texas in 1993. At the center of this tragedy was self proclaimed "prophet" David Koresh; a controversial and charismatic leader with a love of guns, violence, power, and abuse.
