John Parsons says that the feds appear to be backing off. The surveillance equipment that was visible yesterday was moved out this morning. Alicia (John Joe's wife) believes they may have retreated because of the massive response of people who have been making calls and getting involved. While this is a temporary reprieve, the situation is far from being resolved.

Reporter Alex Jones was on the scene at 11:30 p.m. He reports that there are 10 adults and 7 children within the Gray property. He noticed that a wireless surveillance camera was dismantled. He also saw cattle trailers being pulled in and other large equipment.
"The only bunker on the property is for the seven children. It is clearly marked with a large red sign stating "kids." This has been done to protect the children so than none will be killed. The 10 adults plan on staying above ground and defending the property. John Joe Gray has stated that he will protect his property unto death and that his back has been pushed against the wall."
"They were going to move in this morning. They were going to move in with MJTF SWAT Teams. . . We were inside the property and John Joe Gray said, 'Alex, you know you're a leader and we listen to your show all the time and they will want to kill you when they come in here in the morning. . . . I would at least like you to go outside the gate so that they won't claim that we shot you in some friendly fire.' I said that makes a lot of sense because I was going to stay. It was already 3 in the morning."
