Dear Producer,   Flag Day is tomorrow followed by Father’s Day next weekend. Consider supporting the show during these celebrations. No Agenda remains the best news analysis podcast and will continue to be so. How much value does it deliver to you? All that is asked is that you return some value back to the show with the random do-it-yourself Value-for-value donation to keep the show going. You do this with the V4V donation. Value for Value. No Agenda pioneered the V4V random amount donation and it does account for most donations. To contribute to the show click here to use PayPal or click here to use Stripe as your credit card processor. Every dime helps the show.   And there is always the resume/bio home run of becoming an Executive Producer of the show. This is a forever credit you can use as a reference for the rest of your life. Click here for that. Finally, consider the special LIMITED offer of an Insta-Knighthood to celebrate heart health, the Red Knight – Order of the Heart -- offer. This includes an exclusively stunning lapel pin designed by Paul Couture.  Click here to become a Red Knight   ALSO Sending a check to PO Box 339, El Cerrito CA 94530 is ANOTHER way to contribute.

Click here for that. There is also the $50 a month Knighthood layaway for 20 months. Click here for that. And, of course, there is the do-it yourself open donation which is always welcome. Credit to nessworks Tomorrow's Show The World Cup is in the news as the USA won its first match against Paraguay 4-1. So everyone will have soccer fever for at least one more game. Watch parties seem to be thematic. This will hurt donations to the show, you watch. Elon Musk became a trillionaire, which is ludicrous. To put it in perspective he could give away a million dollars a day for the next 300 years and still have money left over. It’s time to hound Elon to help support the No Agenda Show. The SpaceX IPO was a clear success and now it’s time to see what happens with OpenAI and Anthropic coming out any minute. They should strike while the iron is hot or at least while the supposed Iran deal is looking promising which can flop at any minute, although it is supposed to close this weekend. This is reflected in the price of crude oil which fell below $85. Expect it to shoot above $100 if Trump pulls back again. Otherwise expect the price of oil to drop to $60 a barrel rather quickly. And this does look like the closest Trump has gotten to closing this deal since all the international outlets have said everyone is close to signing. There has never been such a consensus until now. If this one falls apart it will not be good and maybe Trump will resort to the bombing campaign he keeps threatening. One good sign is that it seems as if the Internet has been turned back on in Iran. That must mean something big is afoot and it will not involve regime change. Hopefully this will be fully resolved by showtime tomorrow. Only No Agenda will get you the international perspective and analyze any lurking trickery from both sides of the conflict. Your No Agenda coverage is yet another good reason to support the show today. Memes Photo of JCD as he cleans his office in a rush before the No Agenda Instagram hits 5000 followers.   Hypocrite of the Week Support No Agenda Today! Your support is all there is. Your No Agenda show covers and analyzes news without interference. This is because the show is not owned by a large corporation nor beholden to advertisers and is solely supported by you. There are no creepy advertisers or corporate or communist influencers telling us what to cover and how to slant things. Sincerely, John C. Dvorak & Adam C.
