In the latest episode of the long-running media deconstruction podcast No Agenda, hosts Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak dissect a leaked phone call between President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, as first reported by Axios. The call, in which Trump reportedly called Netanyahu 'effing crazy' over the Lebanon incursion, has sparked a flurry of media analysis. Curry and Dvorak focus on the second, less-reported half of the Axios story, where a source told reporter Barak Ravid that Netanyahu has been, in the words of one Trump administration official, 'too bloodthirsty.' Curry argues the leak appears engineered to redirect public anger away from Israel and toward Netanyahu personally, while Dvorak presses on who the leakers could plausibly be and why Miranda Devine, in her New York Post podcast interview, declined to follow up on that portion of the call.
The episode, titled 'Kennel Index,' also examines the surprise rise of Tom Steyer in the California governor's race and a House War Powers Resolution vote that drew four Republican defectors, including Kentucky's Thomas Massie. Curry and Dvorak explore the 'black-pilled' podcast circuit featuring Megyn Kelly and Sean Ryan lamenting Israeli influence, alongside shifting positions from Cenk Uygur and Anna Kasparian. Senate testimony from detransitioner Chloe Cole and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's exchange with Senator Ron Wyden over Jeffrey Epstein are also covered.
In tech news, the hosts dissect NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's Korea keynote unveiling the RTX Spark and DGX Station for Windows, which Huang called a 'reinvention of laptop' capable of running trillion-parameter models 'meter-free' on the desktop. Contrasting Huang's vision with Ed Zitron's Bloomberg appearance questioning AI ROI, David Sachs invoking Jevons' Paradox on the All-In Pod, and a CNBC segment on $30 to $50 billion data-center debt deals, the hosts debate the sustainability of AI investment. Other segments cover Bill Pulte's appointment as acting Director of National Intelligence, the scrapped $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization fund,' Eli Lilly's retatrutide trial results, Richard Gere's 'Dictatorship of the Monsters' speech, and Ukraine's drone strike on St. Petersburg during Putin's economic forum.
Curry and Dvorak's signature framing across these threads highlights how media narratives are shaped and contested, offering listeners a skeptical, humor-laced alternative to conventional news analysis. Episode 1874 of No Agenda is available now wherever podcasts are heard.
