Rudy Ridge: The Day the End Times Arrived w/ Chris Jennings
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
On today's episode, I am joined by Chris Jenning, author of "End of Days: Ruby Ridge, The Apocalypse, and the Unmaking of America, which documents the lead-up to the 1992 Ruby Ridge siege, which involved the Weaver family and Kevin Harris against the FBI. A standoff that lasted 11 days and ended the life of an officer, a mother, and a son. We revisit this event 32 years later and assess whether we learned anything about the far right since then.
