00:00 I love Mike Hanson Archives. Hello folks, it's Mike Hanson here from Mike Hanson Archives on YouTube We have our new YouTube channel which is Hanson Archives and our new new channel Waco Archives we're getting ready to have the 27th anniversary of when The ATF attacked Mount Carmel Church in Waco, Texas or near Waco, Texas. That was 27 years ago February 28th 2020 20th will be 27 years and then on April 19 of this year
00:51 2020 will be the 27th anniversary when the 51 day standoff came to an end, a fiery end. And Catherine Madison was one of the oldest survivors there and I'm getting ready to show you interview I did 20 years ago. I'm gonna just show you the raw footage I think it's about 30 minutes long and she is going to tell her side of the story. I got to know Katherine Madison whenever she moved to Austin, Texas back in about the mid-90s She moved in with Wyla and her family
01:33 And while it was associated with the Branch Davidians, we started having the Branch Davidians on our TV show. As you know I was the producer for Jeff Davis at that time later on Alex Jones and a bunch of other Patriot type people and we started having the branch Davidians on and boy did I learn A lot about what happened 1993 at that on that attack that happened there. I got to know her very good, I got to love her as a mother or grandma she was such a great lady she would have been in her hundreds by now think she died in 2009 and
02:25 This interview here tells a story about what she's seen on February 28th, 1993 and what she went through. And just a real quick funny story I took her on a radio tour Back in about 1996 to all these different radio stations because we were gonna have a memorial service In 1996 for all the people that died and all the children and We went to this one Christian station, and she happened to mention One of the things she did. She would just
03:08 out of the blue say David's coming back, which she's talking about David Koresh. Some of the things they, the Branch Davidians believe I don't believe but that don't mean that I believe that they should have been killed either But she would just out of the blue say, well David's coming back. And of course this was a mainstream Christian station and she was on the air. They went to commercial and they kicked us out of the station and then we got in the car and the radio on and the announcer said, well they had to leave. They had an emergency so here you go a Christian station lying to the public. They actually kicked her off the radio station for saying David's coming back but my point is you'll hear at the end of this interview where she say that David's coming back
04:05 And I know that turns a lot of people off, but I think they actually believe that David was a prophet. And they believe he's coming back with an army to save us all at least the people that believe maybe and I am a believer in God Jesus and all that. And I never did quite understand the message of The Branch Davidians quite So keep an open mind and I also have a interview with Clive coming up too later on this week. So, I hope you enjoyed this interview with Catherine Madison she was a great friend of mine. I miss her dearly to this day She loved for me to take her out to the Olive Garden that was one of her favorite restaurants
05:02 So here we go. This was from about 20 years ago Catherine Madison Waco survivor and I appreciate y'all keeping watching our channel here, Waco Archives.
