The latest episode of the long-running media deconstruction podcast No Agenda, Episode 1874 titled 'Kennel Index,' released June 4, 2026, dissects a leaked phone call between President Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, first reported by Axios. Hosts Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak unpack the call, in which Trump reportedly told Netanyahu he was 'effing crazy' over the Lebanon incursion, and examine the broader implications for U.S.-Israel relations and media narratives.
Curry highlights a less-reported portion of the Axios story quoting a source saying there are people in the Trump administration 'gravely concerned that Netanyahu has been, in the words of one of them, too bloodthirsty.' Curry argues the leak appears engineered to redirect public anger away from Israel and toward Netanyahu personally, while Dvorak questions who the leakers could be and why New York Post columnist Miranda Devine declined to follow up on that part of the call in her interview. This analysis matters because it reveals how leaks can shape political accountability, potentially affecting U.S. foreign policy and public perception of the Israel-Lebanon conflict.
The episode also covers the surprise rise of Tom Steyer in the California governor's race and a House War Powers Resolution vote that drew four Republican defectors, including Kentucky's Thomas Massie. Curry and Dvorak frame these as part of a pattern of shifting political alignments, with implications for congressional oversight and executive power. Additionally, they examine Senate testimony from detransitioner Chloe Cole and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's exchange with Senator Ron Wyden over Jeffrey Epstein, suggesting ongoing debates about gender policy and government transparency.
In the tech sector, the hosts dissect NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang's Korea keynote unveiling the RTX Spark and DGX Station for Windows, which Huang called a 'reinvention of laptop' capable of running trillion-parameter models 'meter-free' on the desktop. They contrast this with Ed Zitron's Bloomberg appearance questioning AI ROI and David Sachs invoking Jevons' Paradox on the All-In Pod. This discussion highlights the tension between AI investment hype and realistic returns, impacting investors and tech workers.
Other segments cover Bill Pulte's appointment as acting Director of National Intelligence, the scrapped $1.8 billion 'anti-weaponization fund,' Eli Lilly's retatrutide trial results, Richard Gere's 'Dictatorship of the Monsters' speech, and Ukraine's drone strike on St. Petersburg during Putin's economic forum. Each story is examined for how it is framed or buried, underscoring the podcast's mission to deconstruct media narratives. Episode 1874 is available now wherever podcasts are heard.
