336: TULSI GABBARD IS THE PROTEGE OR A CULT LEADER AND VIOLENT WHITE HOUSE DRONE ATTACK FOILED

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. She examines surprise victories from DSA-backed candidates, the role of endorsements in modern politics, and the broader battle for the direction of the American left. 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 Intro1:20 Welcome to Without a Country2:41 Patreon & show support3:40 NYC's closed primaries explained4:49 On political endorsements 6:28 Brad Lander's win & his political persona9:20 Mamdani's endorsement slate & DSA momentum11:30 Darializa Avila Chevalier's stunning upset15:35 Enemy of the State: Jimmy Fallon20:08 Fallon hosting Conor McGregor26:43 Conor McGregor's r@pe case, explained32:45 McGregor's comeback fight vs. Max Holloway34:54 Deep dive: The Washington Post's Tulsi Gabbard exposé38:08 Tulsi Gabbard's upbringing inside the Science of Identity Foundation42:22 The Informant51:56 Tangent: who actually runs the DSA?59:54 Chris Butler's political origins in Hawaii1:06:31 The 1990s anti-gay-marriage ad featuring young Tulsi1:09:57 On-the-ground investigation in Hawaii1:17:19 Scripted tweets and talking points1:23:59 Attempts to Discredit Informant 1:29:55 Running the memos through Claude AI1:36:12 Gabbard's abrupt departure as DNI1:39:59 Gabbard's parting shots at Fauci over Covid origins1:43:59 The White House's "media offenders" list1:46:54 The UFC 250 White House attack plot1:57:44 So who actually runs the DSA?1:59:20 Why political "vessels" need star power2:04:13 Politico: "Mamdani emerges as kingmaker"2:08:56 Brad Lander's district & the Jewish vote2:21:31 NYT profile: Who is Darializa Avila Chevalier?2:31:57 Could Be Worse: Gaza coverage fatigue & media consolidation2:35:12 UN report: Israel targeting Palestinian children2:39:09 Cuties Corner: the ant slave rebellion2:43:01 Bolivia's state of emergency2:43:29 Colombia's election & Trump's meddling2:44:45 Cuba's economic reforms under US pressure2:46:08 One state's rise in domestic violence2:47:24 Outro & how to support the showSUBSCRIBE TO THE PATREON:https://patreon.com/WithoutACountry?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLinkFOLLOW WITHOUT A COUNTRY ON IG: https://www.instagram.com/withoutacountrypodcast/FOLLOW CORINNE ON IG: https://www.instagram.com/philanthropygalFOLLOW MIKE ON IG: https://www.instagram.com/themharrington/FOLLOW ALONG:ENEMY OF THE STATE: JIMMY FALLONhttps://sports.yahoo.com/article/conor-mcgregors-rape-case-explained-210139281.htmlMAIN STORIESTulsi Gabbard exposéhttps://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_ATioScience of Identity Foundationhttps://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_of_Identity_FoundationWHITE HOUSE GREAT LAWN UFC ATTACK PLOThttps://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-showMUNICIPALMamdani the Kingmaker https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/06/25/mamdani-emerges-tuesday-primaries-big-winner-other-takeaways/Darializa Chevalierhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/06/23/nyregion/who-is-darializa-avila-chevalier.htmlCOULD BE WORSE/GUUUURLGaza Gen0cide Continueshttps://news.un.org/en/story/2026/06/1167790Boliviahttps://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cr47wn92zdgoTrump & Columbiahttps://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/jun/24/colombia-presidential-election-abelardo-de-la-espriellaCuba Economic Liberalization After Pressure from UShttps://www.democracynow.org/2026/6/22/headlines/under_intense_us_pressure_cuban_lawmakers_approve_sweeping_economic_changesSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
