Curry and Dvorak Dissect Trump's Iran Ceasefire, SpaceX IPO and LA Mayoral Race

In Episode 1876 'Screwball,' Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak deconstruct President Trump's sudden cancellation of the Iran war, the heavily oversubscribed SpaceX IPO, Spencer Pratt's loss in the LA mayoral race, screwworm panic in Texas and Senator Elizabeth Warren's last-minute call to delay Elon Musk's public offering.

The president has just canceled the war, oil is dropping like a rock, the Dow is up 800 points, and we're just moments away from signing the deal. And I think it might, this time it might be real.

Episode 1876 of the No Agenda Show, titled "Screwball," published June 11, 2026, finds hosts Adam Curry and John C. Dvorak broadcasting from the Texas Hill Country and Refinery Row as breaking news interrupts the show: President Trump has abruptly canceled the war with Iran, oil is collapsing, and the Dow surges 800 points. The timing, the hosts note, lines up suspiciously with Elon Musk's SpaceX IPO scheduled for the very next day, prompting a sharp media deconstruction of insurance markets, maritime risk, and the choreography behind a sudden peace announcement.

Across two hours, Curry and Dvorak work through a dense news cycle with their signature skepticism:

• Trump's claim that the U.S. quietly sank 22 Iranian oil tankers "with no lights" and the AXIS Capital CEO Vince Tizio's appearance with Maria Bartiromo on Fox Business
• The Los Angeles mayoral race, where Nithya Raman edged out Spencer Pratt to face Karen Bass, with commentary from Bret Weinstein, Greg Gutfeld and Chris Hayes
• Senator Elizabeth Warren's 12-page letter urging the SEC to delay the SpaceX IPO
• The first New World Screwworm case confirmed in Gillespie County, Texas
• Scott Pelley's tearful New York Times interview after his CBS firing

The hosts apply their media deconstruction lens to Brett Weinstein's monologue on election integrity, playing his claim verbatim:

"These elections are designed to allow fraud that cannot be detected and will not be prosecuted. And that's really the thing that we must focus on."

Curry contrasts that with MSNBC's Chris Hayes calling the same argument "manifestly preposterous," while Dvorak dissects an NPR segment using a remote Alaskan village reachable only by dog sled to justify extended mail-in ballot deadlines ahead of a Supreme Court ruling on a Mississippi challenge.

Deeper segments examine Maggie Haberman and Jonathan Swan's forthcoming book Regime Change, which alleges Vice President JD Vance floated having Tucker Carlson interview Ghislaine Maxwell in prison to exonerate Trump on the Epstein files, with Susie Wiles, Karoline Leavitt, Pam Bondi, Todd Blanche, Kash Patel and Dan Bongino present in the Situation Room. The hosts also cover Bill Gates' congressional testimony about Epstein's alleged blackmail attempt, Anthropic's rebranded "Mythos" model now called Fable 5, Palantir CEO Alex Karp's CNBC interview, the resignation of UK Defence Secretary John Healey under Keir Starmer, the collapse of the Franco-German fighter jet project between Airbus and Dassault, the Belfast riots following a Sudanese refugee's attempted murder charge, and New York's proposed shift from "mother" and "father" to "gestating parent" and "non-gestating parent."
