Vance Steps In For Leavitt as Massie Falls and Castro Indicted: Inside No Agenda

Frequently Asked Questions

Why do Curry and Dvorak believe Thomas Massie really lost his primary?

Dvorak argues Massie's collapse from a 71% win probability on May 8 to a roughly 10-point loss was driven by an algorithmically distributed smear campaign alleging affairs after his wife's death, a 'boner phone,' and a fling with Lauren Boebert. He notes that ABC, NBC, CBS, Fox, and NPR all ignored the scandal, instead crediting Trump's opposition for the defeat.

What did Adam Curry think of JD Vance filling in for Karoline Leavitt at the press briefing?

Curry called Vance's performance 'expertly done' and 'fantastic,' saying he managed the press corps smoothly while answering on Iran, gas prices, and the ceasefire. He suggested Vance should handle briefings daily and floated the idea that strong press-room skills could become a future requirement for the vice presidency.

What is Dvorak's theory behind the Raul Castro indictment?

Dvorak suggests Trump is 'completing the Bay of Pigs operation that Kennedy chickened out on,' pointing to the Nimitz strike group entering the Caribbean and a CIA analyst's enthusiastic media appearance. The indictment charges Castro over the 1996 Brothers to the Rescue shootdown that killed four, with Todd Blanche saying Castro will appear in court 'by his own will or by another way.'

How do the hosts explain Trump's 3,700 stock trades flagged by MSNBC and Rachel Maddow?

Curry and Dvorak reject the insider-trading framing, arguing that 3,700 trades is the signature of high-frequency trading. They contend the Trump family office is simply running an algorithm — standard practice for wealth at that scale — rather than acting on insider information, calling HFT the buried lede of the story.

What is the $1.776 billion anti-weaponization fund and why is it controversial?

The fund was created after Trump dropped his $10 billion IRS lawsuit, and is intended to compensate people allegedly mistreated by the Biden Justice Department. Critics call it a slush fund because Trump-appointed officials decide payouts and J6 defendants may qualify. Curry personally hopes J6er Jenny and Luke Coffey receive compensation for destroyed lives.

What is Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent's 'Economic Fury' program targeting?

Bessent's program aims to disrupt Iran's shadow banking and terror-financing networks, and has frozen nearly half a billion dollars in cryptocurrency — largely Tether stablecoin — linked to the Iranian regime. Curry highlights that the sanctioned tanker operators are overwhelmingly UK-domiciled companies, arguing the crackdown traces terror financing back to British-linked networks tied to the Muslim Brotherhood.
