In the first episode since the passing of co-host John C. Dvorak, Adam Curry returned to the microphone on August 20, 2026, for a special edition of the No Agenda Show. Joined by Rob Dew of AlexJonesLive.com, Curry recorded from Fredericksburg, Texas, and immediately set the tone: every news item in the current cycle is a product of the upcoming midterm elections. The episode, titled "Just Dew It," runs over two hours and dissects a week of headlines with the show's trademark media deconstruction.
Central to the discussion was the controversy surrounding the USS Abraham Lincoln. Reports of moldy showers, broken toilets, and a sailor going overboard after 250 days at sea during the war with Iran have dominated coverage. Curry read a dispatch from a Navy aviator disputing the morale narrative, then offered 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 lack of grit, arguing that family members, not sailors, are driving the media story.
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 would 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. The hosts touched on 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 conversation ranged from the Keystone XL revival and Alberta's October 19 independence referendum to Ukraine's 800-drone assault on Russia and UK-supplied weapons hitting Wildberries warehouses. Judge Napolitano's interview with Max Blumenthal on the Ankara decoy flight also drew attention.
Throughout, Curry and Dew argued that the media's focus on morale and grievance stories serves a political purpose, distracting from larger economic and geopolitical shifts. The episode is available now wherever podcasts are heard, continuing No Agenda's legacy of sharp, independent analysis.
