Episode 1875 of the No Agenda Show, titled 'Sonic Thump' and published June 7, 2026, hosts Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak deliver a sweeping media deconstruction of a chaotic news week. Broadcasting from the Texas Hill Country and Northern Silicon Valley, the duo delve into California's mail-in ballot delays, U.S. Attorney Bill Essayli's fraud investigations, President Trump's contentious sit-down with NBC's Kristen Welker, and the surprise naming of Bill Pulte as acting Director of National Intelligence.
The episode's deepest thread is the AI bubble. Curry walks through Google raising $80 billion partly to cover RSU cash-outs, Microsoft engineers 'token maxing' for promotions, and Cisco president Jeetu Patel pitching $200-per-week per-employee token costs across 90,000 workers. The hosts mock 'Jevons Paradox,' the 1865 economic principle now invoked by VCs to justify runaway AI spend, and flag a Stanford study showing resume scores persist for 330 days across employers.
Listeners get a guided tour through the week's most contested narratives, including California's 37-day mail-in counting window and SB 75's signature-verification rollback under Governor Gavin Newsom, Xavier Becerra's front-runner status in the governor's race, and Steve Hilton's frustration over the LA mayoral count. The episode also covers the Watson v. Republican National Committee case pending before the Supreme Court, Pete Hegseth's D-Day speech in Normandy warning Europe about migration, and the New World Screwworm outbreak roughly 100 miles southwest of San Antonio.
The hosts roll tape on Trump telling Welker the press is crooked before walking off the Wisconsin barn set. 'They're crooked, just like you're crooked. Press is crooked,' the president says in the clip. Welker's on-camera tag blamed rain interruptions. Curry counters that historical precedent for personal attorneys running Justice runs from Edmund Randolph under Washington to Robert Kennedy under JFK, calling MSNBC analyst Ari Fleischer's framing 'bullcrap' aimed at low-IQ viewers.
Other topics include NASA's X-59 quiet supersonic jet, the Ebola facility controversy at Kenya's Lokichogio airbase, and an mpox smuggling case involving NIH researchers Vincent Munster and Claude Kwe. The episode is available at noagendashow.net.
