Adam Curry returned to the microphone for Episode 1896 of the No Agenda Show, titled “Just Dew It,” on August 20, 2026, marking his first broadcast since the passing of co-host John C. Dvorak a month earlier. Broadcasting from Fredericksburg, Texas, Curry was joined by special guest Sir Deucifer, Rob Dew of AlexJonesLive.com, for a two-hour deconstruction of a news cycle that Curry argued is entirely shaped by the upcoming midterm elections. “Every clip ties back to that single political throughline,” he warned listeners upfront.
The conversation moved aggressively across the week's flashpoints, beginning with the USS Abraham Lincoln morale scandal. Reports of moldy showers, broken toilets, and a sailor going overboard after 250 days at sea in the war with Iran dominated headlines. Curry read a boots-on-the-ground dispatch from a Navy aviator disputing the 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 that modern services have swapped grit for grievance procedures while family members, not sailors, drive the media narrative.
The episode also delved into 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. The federal debt hitting $40 trillion, Bitcoin surging past $72,000, and the Genius Act's stablecoin rollout were also on the agenda. Curry and Dew examined the Texas data center boom, ChatGPT for Teens, and Meta's $1.4 trillion multistate addiction trial.
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.
The episode dug into 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. Throughout, Curry and Dew maintained that the media's focus on morale stories and cultural grievances serves to distract from the economic and geopolitical shifts that will define the midterms.
