    This week on Without A Country, Corinne Fisher breaks down the political shakeups coming out of New York City’s primary elections and what Zohran Mamdani’s growing influence could mean for the future of the Democratic Party heading into 2028.

Corinne and Mike also dive into Jimmy Fallon’s controversial decision to host Conor McGregor despite the fighter’s recent civil seggsual assault ruling. Then, in a deep-dive exposé, Corinne unpacks the bombshell Washington Post investigation into Tulsi Gabbard, her upbringing in the Science of Identity Foundation, allegations of cult-like influence, and the mysterious network of advisers who may have helped shape her political career. Plus: the new report shared by the UN about children in Gaza, the Trump administration’s foreign policy moves, Israel and Gaza, international election interference concerns, developments in Cuba, unrest in Bolivia, and staggering rising domestic violence statistics in one US state. 0:00 Intro 1:20 Welcome to Without a Country 2:41 Patreon & show support 3:40 NYC's closed primaries explained 4:49 On political endorsements 6:28 Brad Lander's win & his political persona 9:20 Mamdani's endorsement slate & DSA momentum 11:30 Darializa Avila Chevalier's stunning upset 15:35 Enemy of the State: Jimmy Fallon 20:08 Fallon hosting Conor McGregor 26:43 Conor McGregor's r@pe case, explained 32:45 McGregor's comeback fight vs. Max Holloway 34:54 Deep dive: The Washington Post's Tulsi Gabbard exposé 38:08 Tulsi Gabbard's upbringing inside the Science of Identity Foundation 42:22 The Informant 51:56 Tangent: who actually runs the DSA? 59:54 Chris Butler's political origins in Hawaii 1:06:31 The 1990s anti-gay-marriage ad featuring young Tulsi 1:09:57 On-the-ground investigation in Hawaii 1:17:19 Scripted tweets and talking points 1:23:59 Attempts to Discredit Informant 1:29:55 Running the memos through Claude AI 1:36:12 Gabbard's abrupt departure as DNI 1:39:59 Gabbard's parting shots at Fauci over Covid origins 1:43:59 The White House's "media offenders" list 1:46:54 The UFC 250 White House attack plot 1:57:44 So who actually runs the DSA? 1:59:20 Why political "vessels" need star power 2:04:13 Politico: "Mamdani emerges as kingmaker" 2:08:56 Brad Lander's district & the Jewish vote 2:21:31 NYT profile: Who is Darializa Avila Chevalier? 2:31:57 Could Be Worse: Gaza coverage fatigue & media consolidation 2:35:12 UN report: Israel targeting Palestinian children 2:39:09 Cuties Corner: the ant slave rebellion 2:43:01 Bolivia's state of emergency 2:43:29 Colombia's election & Trump's meddling 2:44:45 Cuba's economic reforms under US pressure 2:46:08 One state's rise in domestic violence 2:47:24 Outro & how to support the show SUBSCRIBE TO THE PATREON: https://patreon.com/WithoutACountry?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink FOLLOW WITHOUT A COUNTRY ON IG: https://www.instagram.com/withoutacountrypodcast/ FOLLOW CORINNE ON IG: https://www.instagram.com/philanthropygal FOLLOW MIKE ON IG: https://www.instagram.com/themharrington/ FOLLOW ALONG: ENEMY OF THE STATE: JIMMY FALLON https://sports.yahoo.com/article/conor-mcgregors-rape-case-explained-210139281.html MAIN STORIES Tulsi Gabbard exposé https://www.washingtonpost.com/investigations/2026/06/21/tulsi-gabbard-her-guru-mysterious-messages-that-helped-shape-her-political-career/ Hawaii anti-same sex marriage ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tXPH_b_ATio Science of Identity Foundation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_of_Identity_Foundation WHITE HOUSE GREAT LAWN UFC ATTACK PLOT https://www.justice.gov/usao-sdoh/pr/five-men-arrested-charged-plot-attack-kill-government-officials-others-attending & https://www.npr.org/2026/06/23/nx-s1-5867278/authorities-arrest-suspects-attack-ufc-show MUNICIPAL Mamdani the Kingmaker https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/06/25/mamdani-emerges-tuesday-primaries-big-winner-other-takeaways/ Darializa Chevalier https://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/23/nyregion/who-is-darializa-avila-chevalier.html COULD BE WORSE/GUUUURL Gaza Gen0cide Continues https://news.un.org/en/story/2026/06/1167790 Bolivia https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cr47wn92zdgo Trump & Columbia https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jun/24/colombia-presidential-election-abelardo-de-la-espriella Cuba Economic Liberalization After Pressure from US https://www.democracynow.org/2026/6/22/headlines/under_intense_us_pressure_cuban_lawmakers_approve_sweeping_economic_changes See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
