How To Get Away With Manslaughter

How To Get Away With Manslaughter

This week we talk about the death of Harry Dunn, a 19-year-old teenager. Harry, an English citizen, was riding his motorcycle in Northhamptonshire, England when a vehicle crossed into the wrong lane, struck him and killed him. The woman who hit him was a US Citizen named Anne Sacoolas, who happened to be the wife of a CIA agent stationed in the UK. Sacoolas fled the UK and came back to the US with her husband, and is now claiming diplomatic immunity, escaping charges in the UK. We dive deep in this one and have a great conversation.

If you'd like to help support the parents of Harry Dunn who have mounting legal fees, you can access their Go Fund Me here.

The wine we drank this week was a Muscadet by Pepiere in France. Boy oh boy, what a treat. Beth thought it was delightful and Adam called it "edgy". You can grab it here. It's only $16.99! If you're local to Grand Rapids, head over to Leon and Son and ask for it.

#56 Delegate Controversy

#56 Delegate Controversy

Barry Nussbaum discusses the procedures and controversy relating to delegate selection.

The American Truth Project, a non-profit (501c3) organization was launched because America’s national security is being threatened as never before. Our republic and the rights guaranteed by our constitution are facing dangerous new enemies, both foreign and domestic.

Our solution is to educate the public on the truths regarding critical security risks facing America, as well as our most strategic ally, Israel. There are few quality sources dedicated to this purpose.

Our team will investigate and reveal the factual nature and magnitude of these threats, and the best ways to address them. We, the people, have the right to know the truth. ATP is here to tell it.
