No Agenda's Adam Curry and Matt Long Tackle Supreme Court Mail-In Ballot Ruling in Historic Joint Episode

The No Agenda Show reached a milestone with Episode 1898, 'Goofy Foot,' as host Adam Curry welcomed Matt Long to share the desk in the same studio for the first time in the program's history. Long, who hosts The Matt Long Show on Hill Country Patriot FM in Kerrville, Texas, and organizes Fredericksburg meetups, brought a boots-on-the-ground perspective to the week's most consequential news: the U.S. Supreme Court's emergency order allowing the Trump administration to proceed with restrictions on mail-in voting ahead of the 2026 midterm elections.

The 6-3 ruling upholds the March 2026 executive order directing the U.S. Postal Service and Department of Homeland Security to construct a citizenship-based voter database. Curry and Long dissected the implications, with Long bluntly stating, 'Mail-in ballots, I think, are probably the most easiest way to steal an election and to get dishonest results.' He offered insights into Texas's mail-in ballot rules and the Secretary of State's new postmark guidance, reflecting on his own journey from unpaid legislative correspondent to paid host.

The episode also scrutinized reactions from New York Attorney General Letitia James, who cited 'chaos and confusion,' and Arizona AG Kris Mayes, who defended her state's vote-by-mail system. Beyond electoral law, the duo tackled a dense slate of topics: Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's 'Operation Economic Outcast' targeting Iran, CIA Director John Ratcliffe's unannounced trip to Moscow, President Trump's announcement of 300,000 metric tons of imported ground beef, Canadian Premier Doug Ford's retaliatory tariff threats, and California's new Replacement Tire Efficiency Program.

In a segment on agriculture, Curry played an audio report from an anonymous regenerative rancher in Northwest North Dakota, who explained the 11-year cattle market cycle and the divide between 'commodity cowboys' and regenerative operators. Other threads included Don Huffines and the Epstein ranch purchase, Nvidia's reported acquisition of Hugging Face, OpenAI's Chris Lehane pushing for regulation of open-source models, the H-1B visa fee hike to $103,000, State Department revocation of B-1 and B-2 visas, and the unraveling Eurovision Song Contest amid Israel boycotts. The show closed with a heartfelt tribute to Dolly Parton and Tim Curry.

This episode underscores the show's commitment to media deconstruction, examining how stories are framed, repeated, amplified, or ignored. As the Supreme Court's ruling reshapes the electoral landscape, the conversation highlights the deep divisions over election integrity and the role of independent media in questioning official narratives. Curry and Long's joint appearance marks a new chapter for the podcast, blending national and local perspectives on issues that will define the upcoming elections and beyond.
