California's Vote Count Delays and AI Economy Risks Explored in No Agenda's Latest Episode

Episode 1875 of the No Agenda Show, titled 'Sonic Thump,' published June 7, 2026 and hosted by Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak, delivers a sweeping media deconstruction of a chaotic news week. Broadcasting from the Texas Hill Country and Northern Silicon Valley, the duo dig 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. It is classic Crackpot and Buzzkill territory: skeptical, irreverent, and relentlessly specific.

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 Watson v. Republican National Committee case pending before the Supreme Court
  • Pete Hegseth's D-Day speech in Normandy warning Europe about migration
  • 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.

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, 'Algorithmic Monocultures in Hiring,' showing resume scores persist for 330 days across employers. They also cover 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.
