re: What was the country’s reaction to the 1993 Waco siege when that was going on?

We didn't have TV growing up but we did have the radio. Most of what I remember about the events at Waco came from those two sources. Liddy had a particular hatred for the ATF and the FBI director at the time who I believe was Louis Free(sp).

My dad listened to AM radio all the time. He always had Rush and Liddy on. Sometimes he listened to Ollie North (who had his own show for a little while as well).

Liddy hated the ATF, as you said. He was always talking shite and saying "aim for the head when they come inside your house." Looking back on it, it was pretty wild. I doubt any mainstream host would get away with saying that kind of thing now. (His show was nationally syndicated, so it's not like he was some shortwave guy or something).

Liddy was one of the Watergate burglars and would discuss it sometimes. However, he never really went into what it was all about or why they did it. He died in 2021 and went to his grave never revealing any motives or what they were looking for.
