The Phoenix Project is an initiative to rebuild the Branch Davidian church as a memorial and museum on the original 1993 site.

Jeff Davis broadcasts from the Mount Carmel facility in Waco, Texas, on April 19, 2010. The location serves as the site for the 17th-year memorial of the Waco massacre.

Jeff Davis interviews Paul Fatta in Waco, Texas, on April 19, 2010, regarding his experience as a Branch Davidian. Fatta details his twelve-year and seven-month prison sentence following the 1993 Waco siege. His convictions included conspiracy to murder federal agents and manufacturing automatic weapons, despite being in Austin, Texas, during the initial ATF raid.

Paul Fatta explains how federal conspiracy laws allowed prosecutors to hold him responsible for the deaths of federal agents despite his physical absence from Mount Carmel. He characterizes the legal proceedings as a political trial where the government sought a "pound of flesh" from survivors to deflect responsibility for the tragedy. Fatta concludes by reflecting on the lack of justice served by the judicial system and his reliance on faith following his release.

Sheila Martin, a survivor of the Branch Davidian community, reflects on the 17th anniversary of the fire at the Mount Carmel Center in Waco, Texas.

Martin recounts the physical sensation of the fire and the enduring grief of losing her husband and children to suffocation and flames during the federal siege.

Director Mike Hanson joins the program to discuss his extensive career in media production, including his work for the Jeff Davis Show and the Alex Jones Show. The introduction highlights Hanson's involvement in building Mount Carmel and his undercover investigation into Bohemian Grove in California. Hanson is also credited for his documentary work featuring interviews with approximately 100 individuals regarding alleged authority misconduct in Williamson County.

The discussion shifts to the 1993 Waco siege and allegations of suppressed evidence, including a door from the Mount Carmel compound that showed incoming gunfire. Reference is made to the documentary "Rules of Engagement" and footage provided by Bob Dacey. The hosts and a caller claim that thermal imaging and physical evidence prove the government fired into the building during the final assault.

Clive Doyle describes the morning of the initial raid, noting that the community was caught by surprise while having breakfast. He claims that David Koresh attempted to speak with authorities at the front door before gunfire erupted from the outside. Doyle highlights testimony from the San Antonio trial suggesting agents failed to bring the search warrant they were purportedly there to serve.

Clive Doyle and fellow survivor Sheila Martin recount their specific locations and reactions as the raid began at the Mount Carmel Center. Martin initially mistook the agents' trailers for building supply deliveries before the shooting started. Doyle describes finding a wounded Perry Jones in the hallway and learning that David Koresh had sustained multiple gunshot wounds to his wrist and stomach.

Clive Doyle shares details for an upcoming memorial gathering on April 19th to commemorate the anniversary of the siege's end. The event is tentatively planned for the Country Inn and Suites on Interstate 35, involving a service followed by visits to the cemetery and the Mount Carmel site.

Federal authorities issue final warnings to David Koresh and the Branch Davidians before deploying tear gas into the Mount Carmel Center. The audio highlights the psychological warfare used during the standoff, with agents demanding a peaceful surrender while residents express fear of being killed upon exiting. The sequence emphasizes the Davidians' rejection of the "suicide" narrative promoted by the FBI during the final hours of the siege.

Special counsel Ed Dennis offered a personal preface to his report on the Mount Carmel incident, acknowledging the emotional difficulty of remaining detached. He cited the deaths of four ATF agents and the execution of children as horrific outcomes of the ambush by David Koresh. Dennis clarified that while he is not a behavioral expert, he was tasked by the Deputy Attorney General to evaluate law enforcement's handling of the crisis.

Evidence indicates that the fire on April 19th was started by occupants within the compound rather than the law enforcement tear gas assault. The tear gas plan was specifically designed to minimize fire risk, and fire equipment was held back only due to the immediate danger to firefighters. Investigators concluded the blaze was an act of mass suicide or murder orchestrated by those inside.

Investigators determined that law enforcement did not know the specific location of the children inside the compound before the gas insertion. During the operation, observers in armored vehicles attempted to spot the children but found no definitive evidence of their whereabouts. Right before the fire, an armored vehicle approached a concrete bunker located beneath the compound's main tower facility.

Gary Kah, a former European and Middle East trade specialist for the state of Indiana, authored En Route to Global Occupation after allegedly discovering documents detailing a plan for one-world government. Kah claims he was dismissed from his government position for refusing to remain silent about the globalist movement. In conjunction with these revelations, a bus charter is organized for April 19th to transport participants to Waco, Texas, for a memorial service at the site of the Mount Carmel siege.

The argument is made that the government's actions at Mount Carmel in Waco, which resulted in over 80 deaths, represent a massive legal double standard. Critics of the raid argue that allegations of child abuse do not justify the use of tanks and CS gas that led to the deaths of children. Despite the passage of four years since the 1993 incident, no indictments have been brought against the BATF agents involved, while the surviving Davidians faced the full weight of the law.
