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. Simpson murder case, Cardi B's decision to support neighborhood beauty supply stores with her haircare brand, and the biggest questions surrounding the 2026 midterms—including the heated Michigan Senate race between Abdul El-Sayed and Mike Rogers, the Trump administration's attempts to influence election procedures, an FEC filing outage, and AIPAC's role in campaign financing. 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.

*LOS ANGELES - GASH - THE COMEDY STORE 10.25.26 - CORINNEFISHER.COM * This week on Without a Country, Corinne Fisher and Mike Harrington dive into Nathan Fielder and Lance Oppenheim's controversial Elizabeth Holmes documentary You Can See Everything, examining whether the disgraced Theranos founder is still manipulating audiences, a whistleblower's explosive criticism of the film, and new allegations about the documentary's director. Corinne also breaks down Russell Brand's ongoing r^pe and SA trial. Plus, a shocking attack on an Australian politician and allegations of politically motivated s^xual assault against an Arizona Democratic candidate.

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.

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.

From there, it's time for a Cuties Corner focused on the Trump administration's changes to endangered species protections.

Corinne also covers the ongoing genocide in Gaza and international calls for accountability, a federal dispute over handgun sales to adults under 21, and the latest meeting between Donald Trump and Zohran Mamdani.

This week on Without A Country, Corinne Fisher covers an enormous slate of political, true crime, and cultural stories, beginning with shocking allegations surrounding Costco's chicken supply chain, she then discusses the tragic murder of influencer Sara Gilson (Sarah Duffy) after she publicly accused her estranged husband of sexually abusing a minor. The centerpiece of the episode is an in-depth breakdown of the ongoing Lindsay Clancy trial, and, more specifically postpartum psychosis. Corinne also dives into the explosive BBC investigation into Jared Leto, discussing decades of allegations involving teenage girls and celebrity power. The show continues with updates on the mysterious death of Nolan Wells, as well as another suspicious death involving a young Black woman that has received far less national attention. Later, Corinne examines Daniel Ortega's announcement that Nicaragua will no longer hold democratic elections before reacting to newly released body-camera footage in the fatal police shooting of an unarmed teenager in Austin. The episode wraps up with a discussion of newly released material from Anthony Fauci's personal diaries and Elon Musk's latest AI lawsuit. PLUS: Boy George made a reggaeton son about genocide!
