About this listen

Before the Oklahoma City bombing shocked the nation, a chain of events had already set the stage — Ruby Ridge and Waco. Both standoffs ended in tragedy. Both fueled growing anger toward the government. And both deeply influenced Timothy McVeigh.

In this episode, we go through the true story of how those moments built up to April 19th, 1995 — one of the darkest days in U.S. history.
