In a wide-ranging episode of the No Agenda Show, hosts Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak deconstruct President Trump's recent primetime address, in which he alleged Chinese interference in the 2020 election. The episode, titled 'The Stick Works,' airs amid a news week marked by media blackouts, document releases, and political maneuvering.
Curry, broadcasting from the Texas Hill Country, and Dvorak, from Northern Silicon Valley, focus on Trump's claims that China acquired 220 million U.S. voter files. Curry conducted a line-by-line verification of the unclassified CIA documents released alongside the speech. 'So I've done that as a public service,' Curry said. 'What we expected. Yes. So here is claim number 1... the People's Republic of China carried out what is believed to be the largest compromise of election data in history.'
While some claims held up, Curry noted that Trump's rhetoric sometimes outran the documentary evidence. The hosts also examined the refusal of ABC, NBC, and CNN to carry the speech live.
Other key topics include the Michigan Muskegon canvassing investigation and DHS findings on 278,000 non-citizen registrations, which Trump used to push for the SAVE Act to end mail-in ballot vulnerabilities. Dvorak expressed skepticism about the China framing, given Trump's recent overtures to Beijing.
The episode also delves into Secretary of State Marco Rubio's forum on political terrorism, Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's disclosure of a February 2024 assassination attempt, and Vice President JD Vance's Joe Rogan appearance targeting Brad Parscale and the Esther Project. Curry connected Parscale's FARA filings to Salem Radio Network.
A significant segment covers the House vote where 103 Democrats, including Whip Katherine Clark, backed Thomas Massie's amendment to cut Israel aid, with reactions from Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, John Fetterman, and Governor Wes Moore. The hosts also discuss AI chatbot failures featuring viral creator Husk and Databricks CEO commentary on GPU scarcity and the Kimi K3 model.
