Transcript

Weren't kidding about it being like a bunker. It is a bunker. I bought this abandoned concrete bunker tucked away in the Ozarks built by a former member of a militant extremist cult. Better their compound was raided by the feds back in the eighties, he came out here and built this bunker to hide from the government. Now to get you all some more information on this Colt and how this project came to be for myself, we gotta take y'all back to No. The first time I came to look at the place with the realtor. Did I tell you who built this house? No. You didn't. Yeah. The guy that built it is part of the CSA group. They got a solid concrete wall tier, solid concrete wall tier. Oh, wow. And solid concrete wall here. Wow. Yeah. You weren't kidding about it being like a bunker. It is a bunker. Yeah. But this guy was part of the covenant sword and arm of the good was the name of the c it was called the CSA. I've never heard of him. Bible says it's gonna wax worse and worse. And when you go in these big cities and there are streets that you can't walk down without being thumped, you know it's getting bad. When homosexuality is an open view and not hidden anymore, you know it's getting bad. When witchcraft and communism is everywhere, you know it's getting bad. They number more than 100 who with their families have established the community of Zarephath Horeb, a crude settlement hidden in the backwoods of the Ozarks.
