In the first episode since the passing of co-host John C. Dvorak, Adam Curry returned to the 'No Agenda' microphone on August 20, 2026, joined by special guest Sir Deucifer, Rob Dew of AlexJonesLive.com. Broadcasting from Fredericksburg, Texas, the duo dissected a news cycle that Curry argues is entirely shaped by the upcoming midterm elections. Every clip, he warned upfront, ties back to that single political throughline.
The two-plus-hour conversation moved aggressively across the week's flashpoints, including the USS Abraham Lincoln morale story, with reports of moldy showers, broken toilets, and a sailor going overboard after 250 days at sea in the war with Iran. Curry read a boots-on-the-ground dispatch from a Navy aviator disputing the Lincoln coverage, then delivered his father-in-law Earl's blunter verdict from Vietnam: "I was in Vietnam for 8 months, slept in a pup tent for 3 months during the rainy monsoon season, period. Sailors are sissies." Dew countered with a viral Marine drill instructor clip he compared to actor Elliot Page, arguing the modern services have swapped grit for grievance procedures while family members, not sailors, drive the media narrative.
The episode also covered President Trump's pivot from bombing Iran to an economic blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent predicting that pipelines will render the strait irrelevant. Curry and Dew examined the federal debt hitting $40 trillion, Bitcoin surging past $72,000, and the Genius Act's stablecoin rollout. They delved into the Texas data center boom, ChatGPT for Teens, and Meta's $1.4 trillion multistate addiction trial.
Further discussion included the Keystone XL revival, Alberta's October 19 independence referendum, Ukraine's 800-drone assault on Russia and UK-supplied weapons hitting Wildberries warehouses, and Judge Napolitano's interview with Max Blumenthal on the Ankara decoy flight. Dew connected the newly unsealed indictment of former SPLC CFO Heidi Beirich to a 2013 FBI Boston field office assessment labeling Alex Jones a racially motivated extremist, citing FOIA documents analyzed by former agent Kyle Seraphin. Curry added Texas state Senate testimony on 500 proposed gigawatts of data center power chasing stranded wind capacity in the Panhandle.
Throughout, the hosts emphasized that the mainstream media's narrative is often divorced from on-the-ground realities, whether it's the morale of sailors or the motivations behind policy shifts. They urged listeners to question the framing of news stories, especially as the midterms approach, and to consider the economic and geopolitical forces at play behind the headlines.
