The No Agenda Show, hosted by Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak, released Episode 1885 titled "Adult Day Care" on July 12, 2026, offering their signature media deconstruction of a turbulent news weekend. The episode opens with the shocking death of Senator Lindsey Graham at age 71, dissecting the cryptic "brief and sudden illness" language from his office and applying Occam's razor to conspiracy theories. Curry and Dvorak refuse to sanitize the late senator's record, with Curry observing: "We were kind of annoyed by Lindsey Graham. He was a warmonger. He always wanted to bomb everything. He wanted to kill everybody. He seemed to like killing. And somehow we had affection for him." Dvorak counters overheated theories about foul play by pointing to genetics, noting Graham's father died of heart failure at 68.
Across nearly three hours, the hosts walk listeners through a dense news cycle with characteristic skepticism. Key threads include President Trump's Truth Social post threatening 1,000 missiles "locked and loaded" at Iran, and Israel's warning of an assassination plot. The episode also covers Section 224 of the NDAA and the proposed US-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative, the Justice Department subpoenas of four New York Times reporters over Air Force One leaks, and a newsroom "3x3" comparison of ABC, NBC, and CBS evening broadcasts.
The episode's most substantive segment interrogates viral claims from Kim Iverson, Alex Jones, and Anna Kasparian that the NDAA would "merge" the US military with the IDF. Curry reads directly from Section 224, comparing the executive agent provision to existing Five Eyes and AUKUS arrangements, and pushes back on the sovereignty panic. The hosts also examine Palantir CEO Alex Karp's 2009 Charlie Rose appearance on predicate-based research, unpack Whitney Webb's claims about Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Jeffrey Epstein, and analyze Trump's Australia-style superannuation proposal as a potential Social Security alternative. A recurring segment breaks down why Bari Weiss's CBS Evening News trails NBC's Tom Yamas and ABC's David Muir in the "breaking news" cadence war.
The episode is available now wherever podcasts are heard, offering listeners a skeptical, independent perspective on the forces shaping the daily news cycle.
