In the latest installment of the long-running podcast No Agenda, host Adam Curry is joined by returning guest co-host Sir Rob Dew of Infowars for a sweeping Sunday media deconstruction. With co-host John C. Dvorak sidelined, Curry and Dew dive into what they dub the Trump administration's cascade of pre-midterm 'surpriselets'—little October surprises stacked like stocking stuffers heading into the 2026 vote. The episode, titled 'Surpriselets,' runs nearly three hours and covers a wide array of provocative topics.
One of the most heated segments focuses on Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's announcement that convicted Fort Hood shooter Nidal Hasan will face a public, potentially live-streamed firing squad on December 3rd. Curry and Dew press hard on the implications, noting Jake Tapper's observation that the United States would join Afghanistan, Iran, North Korea, Somalia, and Yemen as the only nations conducting public executions. Dew offers a blunt reaction: 'I'm all for the execution. I don't know, the public execution, streaming it, you know, I'm kind of waffling. I definitely don't mind. I think it should have been done a long time ago.' The hosts also replay Vice President JD Vance dodging a question about how the Pentagon plan squares with his Christian faith, and revisit the 1936 Owensboro, Kentucky hanging, America's last fully public execution.
The deconstruction then widens to other news items. They discuss Marco Rubio's sweeping speech in Athens defending Western civilization and sanctioning the International Criminal Court, Barack Obama's new midterm hope-and-change pitch for Democrats, and Mike Tyson's surprise endorsement of Trump at a Syracuse rally. Curry flags Bret Weinstein's warning on DarkHorse that any plague outbreak traceable to Russia's Anti-Plague Research Institute in Irkutsk could involve gain-of-function engineering or a psyop exploiting IgG4 immune suppression in mRNA-vaccinated populations. The pair also eulogize Chicago Bears legend Mike Ditka, dissect Kimberly Guilfoyle's ethics troubles as ambassador to Greece, and salute Slovak MEP Milan Mazurek's fiery European Parliament speech on mass deportations.
Additional topics include the bizarre FlyDubai axe attack by pilot Hammam al-Hammami and ex-CIA analyst Larry Johnson's theory tying it to Benjamin Netanyahu, Trump's surprise diesel deal with Vladimir Putin and the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize going to Navi Pillay, and Walmart's electronic shelf labels and dynamic pricing. Throughout, Curry and Dew apply their signature skeptical lens, examining how stories are framed, repeated, amplified, or ignored by mainstream media.
