No Agenda Episode 1881: 'Cow Cartel' Deconstructs Media and Politics

Episode 1881 of the No Agenda Show, titled 'Cow Cartel,' published June 28, 2026, finds hosts Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak broadcasting from the Texas Hill Country and Northern Silicon Valley for another media deconstruction. The duo unpacks the political earthquake of Zohran Mamdani's New York primary sweep, President Trump's 'godless communists' broadside, Gavin Newsom's national billionaire tax pitch, and a wave of senatorial pushback from Tim Kaine and Chris Murphy. With the World Cup, the Freedom 250 Mall celebration, and the midterms looming, the show argues the national narrative is being deliberately reshaped.

Listeners can expect a thorough, skeptical walk through the week's biggest stories, including the DSA manifesto and David Sacks' breakdown of its platform on the All In podcast, John Bolton's guilty plea on classified documents and Leon Black's subpoena over Epstein NDAs, Keir Starmer's resignation and the rise of Andy Burnham in the UK Labour Party, the collapsing UAP disclosure narrative with Sean Ryan finally calling it 'bullcrap,' and an Ebola outbreak in the Democratic Republic of Congo alongside an alarming Asian longhorn tick infestation hitting U.S. cattle. The hosts' signature style mixes deep media analysis with cutting humor. Reacting to Senator Tim Kaine dismissing Trump's communism remarks as 'goofy word salad,' Curry pushes back hard. Dvorak lays out an extended historical thesis comparing the moment to 1972, arguing the CIA is setting up Democratic socialists as patsies for a McGovern-style wipeout. As Dvorak puts it on air: '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.'

The episode digs into specifics most outlets skip. Curry highlights Mamdani's claim of 165,000 potholes paved and questions whether crime statistics are being massaged the way they were in Washington, D.C. Dvorak references Russ Baker's book Family of Secrets to frame the Nixon parallel, while flagging 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 in a possible blow to American cattle producers.
