In Episode 1881 of the No Agenda Show, titled 'Cow Cartel,' hosts Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak deliver a sweeping media deconstruction covering Zohran Mamdani's New York primary victory, Gavin Newsom's proposal for a national billionaire tax, John Bolton's guilty plea on classified documents, and an alarming Asian longhorn tick outbreak affecting American ranchers. The episode, published June 28, 2026, argues that these events signal a deliberate reshaping of the national narrative ahead of the midterms.
Curry and Dvorak, broadcasting from the Texas Hill Country and Northern Silicon Valley, take a skeptical approach to mainstream coverage. They challenge Senator Tim Kaine's dismissal of President Trump's 'godless communists' remarks as 'goofy word salad,' with Curry pushing back firmly. Dvorak draws a historical parallel to 1972, suggesting the CIA is setting up Democratic socialists as patsies for a McGovern-style wipeout. 'This Democrat socialist thing, which is bogus, that election in New York, there was only 10% turnout. It was all immigrants. It was pathetic. The whole thing is a setup,' Dvorak said on air.
The episode delves into specifics often overlooked by other outlets. Curry highlights Mamdani's claim of 165,000 potholes paved and questions whether crime statistics are being manipulated, similar to patterns observed in Washington, D.C. Dvorak references Russ Baker's book Family of Secrets to frame the Nixon parallel, while noting JD Vance's recent Nixon-era comments. The pair also examine The Daily Wire's 'Muslim Takeover 2027' framing on Morning Wire, Tommy Robinson's Texas church tour with Lara Logan, Rand Paul's renewed push to prosecute Anthony Fauci, and rancher Travis's firsthand account of Asian longhorn ticks decimating his herd.
The Asian longhorn tick infestation, which threatens U.S. cattle production, is a key focus. The episode highlights how this outbreak could have significant economic implications for American ranchers, yet receives minimal mainstream media attention. Curry and Dvorak argue that such oversights are part of a broader pattern of narrative control.
