The Not Dumb Podcast

TNDPLastEpisode Rough Cut by Ironman Abdullah

Today on the 50th episode of The Not Dumb Podcast and the 3rd episode of A Muslim Life, TNDP sits down with author, political activist and former Guantanamo Bay detainee, Brother Mansoor Adayfi. Brother Mansoor was detained at Guantanamo Bay as "detainee 441" for 14 years during the aftermath of 9/11. He was not a 9/11 co-conspirator. It was a very unfortunate case of mistaken identity. Brother Mansoor was released from Guantanamo Bay in 2016, without charge, and now lives in Belgrade Serbia. His book detailing the events of his time spent at Guantanamo Bay is "Don't Forget Us Here: Lost and Found at Guantanamo Bay" by Hachette Books.

The barbershop is back in session responding to comments from the listeners. Fauci most likely lied. We're not anti-vax. We're not Rand Paul fanboys. Freedom of speech.
