    NEW YORK CITY! GWF Presents Sl*utsgiving 2.0 at GRAMERCY THEATRE TUES NOV 17 https://www.ticketmaster.com/event/00... This week on Without A Country, Corinne Fisher and Mike Harrington dig into explosive new allegations about a possible accomplice in the O.J.

Corinne also breaks down Benjamin Netanyahu's uncertain political future following Israel's election, Lula's victory over Flávio Bolsonaro in Brazil, and Google's controversial destruction of forests for data centers in Finland. Back in the U.S., she discusses New York's A101 s^xual assault legislation, new developments in the Cornell s^xual assault case, the criminalization of pregnant women following the overturning of Roe v. Wade, and Vivek Ramaswamy's shocking campaign ad featuring Amy Acton's estranged mother. Plus, a controversial Washington sheriff, the origins of breast cancer's pink ribbon, new allegations involving Jared Kushner, and why political activism needs to accomplish more than generating social media engagement.

    On this week's Without a Country, Corinne Fisher and Mike Harrington cover explosive reporting that Benjamin Netanyahu may have been warned about the October 7th Hamas attack, controversy surrounding The New York Times' Israel-Gaza coverage, and Israel's upcoming election. Corinne gives updates on her fight to close New York's voluntary intoxication loophole through Bill A101, the DSA's opposition, Assembly Speaker Carl Heastie, and the ongoing Cornell gang r@pe allegations. Plus, Donald Trump approves a firing squad execution for the Fort Hood mass shooter, and former American Idol contestant Caleb Flynn is convicted of murdering his wife Ashley to pursue a relationship with his mistress, prompting a deep dive into their disturbing text messages, an AI-generated love song, religious purity culture, and the psychology of men who kill their wives. The duo also discusses Trump's warnings about a potential Iranian attack on California, Christa Pike's botched execution in Tennessee, the ethics and failures of America's death penalty system, Sunny Hostin's comments on the Cornell case, Cornell's independent investigation and campus sexual assault statistics, confusion surrounding Larry Nassar's sex offender registry status, and a controversial AI-generated victim impact statement that made its way into an American courtroom.

    350: "SHOP STILL OPEN?" Cornell Gang R4pe Exposes Horrifying Legal Loophole

    On this episode of Without a Country, Corinne Fisher dives deep into the rapidly developing Cornell University gang r4pe case, including new reporting that the Tompkins County District Attorney reopened the criminal investigation, revelations about what Jane Doe actually told campus police, the DA’s claim that he never saw a transcript in which she explicitly said she was r4ped, disturbing fraternity group-chat messages including “shop still open," confirmation that the alleged assault was never reported to the Ithaca Police Department, and the impact New York's Voluntary Intoxication Exclusion has had on the case. Corinne also reads firsthand accounts from listeners about SA culture at elite colleges and an anonymous Cornell employee’s account of how the university has handled the scandal internally. Before that, Corinne and Mike discuss two “Enemies of the State,” including Michael Tracey’s attempt to identify the Cornell Jane Doe and viral victim-blaming rage bait surrounding the case; read listener mail about a positive surrogacy experience; examine warnings from AI researchers and anonymous industry insiders about the race to build increasingly powerful AI systems; and close with updates on the Nolan Wells death investigation, Lindsay Clancy’s case following her mistrial, and the extraordinary last-minute legal battle over Tennessee death-row prisoner Christa Pike as the Supreme Court clears the way for what would be Tennessee’s first execution of a woman in more than 200 years.
