In the first episode since the passing of co-host John C. Dvorak, Adam Curry returned to the No Agenda Show with special guest Rob Dew of AlexJonesLive.com, delivering a two-hour dissection of a news cycle that Curry argues is entirely shaped by the coming midterm elections. Broadcasting from Fredericksburg, Texas, Curry warned listeners upfront that every clip tied back to that single political throughline.
The conversation opened with the USS Abraham Lincoln morale scandal, which has gripped coverage of the Iran war. Reports of moldy showers, broken toilets, and a sailor going overboard after 250 days at sea painted a grim picture. 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 the modern services have swapped grit for grievance procedures while family members, not sailors, drive the media narrative.
The episode also examined 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. This economic focus extended to the federal debt hitting $40 trillion, Bitcoin surging past $72,000, and the Genius Act's stablecoin rollout. Curry and Dew explored the Texas data center boom, where 500 proposed gigawatts of power are chasing stranded wind capacity in the Panhandle, as well as 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. The discussion also touched on the Keystone XL revival, Alberta's October 19 independence referendum, Ukraine's 800-drone assault on Russia, and UK-supplied weapons hitting Wildberries warehouses, plus Judge Napolitano's interview with Max Blumenthal on the Ankara decoy flight.
Throughout, Curry and Dew emphasized how the midterm elections are driving every story, from morale in the military to economic policy and even cultural battles. The episode, titled "Just Dew It," is available now wherever podcasts are heard.
