In his first episode since the passing of co-host John C. Dvorak, Adam Curry returned to the No Agenda Show with special guest Sir Deucifer, Rob Dew of AlexJonesLive.com, for a wide-ranging analysis of the week's news. Broadcasting from Fredericksburg, Texas, Curry framed the entire episode around a single thesis: every news story is being shaped by the coming midterm elections. The two-plus-hour conversation, titled "Just Dew It," delved into the USS Abraham Lincoln morale scandal, President Trump's strategic pivot on Iran, and a host of economic and cultural flashpoints.
The USS Lincoln story dominated the discussion, 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 dispatch from a Navy aviator disputing the coverage, then shared his father-in-law Earl's blunt assessment 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, comparing the modern military's focus on grievance procedures to a loss of grit. He argued that family members, not sailors, are driving the media narrative.
The episode also covered President Trump's shift from bombing Iran to an economic blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, with Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent predicting pipelines will make 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 testimony from the Texas state Senate on 500 proposed gigawatts of data center power chasing stranded wind capacity in the Panhandle. The conversation also touched on the Keystone XL revival, Alberta's October 19 independence referendum, Ukraine's 800-drone assault on Russia, and Judge Napolitano's interview with Max Blumenthal on the Ankara decoy flight.
Throughout the episode, Curry and Dew emphasized how the media's focus on morale issues and economic narratives serves political ends ahead of the midterms. The show, known for its media deconstruction approach, offered an irreverent alternative to conventional news analysis. Episode 1896 is available now wherever podcasts are heard.
