47: The Real Waco w. FBI Negotiator, Gary Noesner

There are many sides to every story, so just when you think you’ve got it all figured out, you better keep digging.We’ve talked about and speculated the Waco incident at length recently here on The System is Down (Episodes 40 &43) but our research and speculation is only as good as our sources and presentation and we thankfully weren’t present during this tragedy. So, I went directly to the sources to get the facts from people who were major players in this case.Today’s episode is my discussion with Gary Noesner, who was the FBI negotiator assigned to the Waco case. Gary’s job was to use words rather than force to try to settle the standoff as peacefully as possible. Today you’ll here about his efforts and his opinions on what exactly happened at Waco 25 years ago, from the perspective of the FBI.We also discussed his involvement in the new Waco dramatization miniseries on the Paramount Network. You’ll get a little behind the scenes look on how that series came to life and played out and what Gary’s thoughts are on the final product. So strap in and enjoy my conversation with Gary Noesner.Also, stay tuned for next week’s episode where Waco survivor, David Thibodeau weighs in and gives his side of the story, first thing on Monday.
