In the first episode since the passing of co-host John C. Dvorak, Adam Curry returned to the microphone with special guest Sir Deucifer, Rob Dew of AlexJonesLive.com, to deconstruct a news cycle entirely shaped by the upcoming midterm elections. Broadcasting from Fredericksburg, Texas, on August 20, 2026, Curry warned listeners that every clip ties back to that political throughline, setting the stage for a two-hour exploration of the week's flashpoints.
The conversation began 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 have dominated headlines. Curry read a dispatch from a Navy aviator disputing the coverage, then delivered his father-in-law Earl's blunt 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.
Shifting to geopolitics, the episode 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. The federal debt hitting $40 trillion, Bitcoin surging past $72,000, and the Genius Act's stablecoin rollout also drew scrutiny. 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.
Domestically, Curry and Dew tackled the Texas data center boom, ChatGPT for Teens, and Meta's $1.4 trillion multistate addiction trial. Curry added Texas state Senate testimony on 500 proposed gigawatts of data center power chasing stranded wind capacity in the Panhandle. The episode also 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. Judge Napolitano's interview with Max Blumenthal on the Ankara decoy flight was also discussed.
Throughout, Curry and Dew emphasized how the midterm lens distorts reporting, urging listeners to question mainstream narratives. As Curry noted, the media's focus on morale stories and economic figures serves a political purpose, not public enlightenment. The episode, titled "Just Dew It," is available now wherever podcasts are heard.
