Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak, hosts of the No Agenda Show, released Episode 1885 titled "Adult Day Care" on July 12, 2026, dissecting a turbulent news weekend that included the sudden death of Senator Lindsey Graham and President Donald Trump's threat against Iran. Broadcasting from Amsterdam and Northern Silicon Valley, the duo applied their signature media deconstruction to the cryptic announcement of Graham's passing at age 71, described by his office as a "brief and sudden illness."
Curry and Dvorak walked listeners through the dense news cycle with characteristic skepticism. Key threads included Trump's Truth Social post threatening 1,000 missiles "locked and loaded" at Iran, Israel's warning of an assassination plot, and the Justice Department subpoenas of four New York Times reporters over Air Force One leaks. The hosts also analyzed Section 224 of the NDAA and the proposed US-Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative, a newsroom "3x3" comparison of ABC, NBC, and CBS evening broadcasts, and Palantir's role in the Patriot Front DC metro incident.
Discussing Graham's legacy, Curry observed: "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 countered overheated podcaster theories about foul play by pointing to genetics, noting Graham's father died of heart failure at 68.
The episode's most substantive segment interrogated viral claims from Kim Iverson, Alex Jones, and Anna Kasparian that the NDAA would "merge" the US military with the IDF. Curry read directly from Section 224, comparing the executive agent provision to existing Five Eyes and AUKUS arrangements, and pushed back on the sovereignty panic.
The hosts also examined Palantir CEO Alex Karp's 2009 Charlie Rose appearance on predicate-based research, unpacked Whitney Webb's claims about Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent and Jeffrey Epstein, and analyzed Trump's Australia-style superannuation proposal as a potential Social Security alternative. A recurring segment broke down why Bari Weiss's CBS Evening News trails NBC's Tom Yamas and ABC's David Muir in the "breaking news" cadence war.
