In this episode of the John Wayne Surge Protector Podcast , hosts Eric Halsey and Alex Midway dive into the strange and often comedic intersections of politics, corporate America, and the Trump-era chaos. They open with Trump’s paradoxical quest for a Nobel Peace Prize—despite suing the Institute of Peace—and unpack the absurdity of branding conflict as peace. From there, the conversation shifts t...

We're shifting more into having the robots work for us while that is still an option. I'll give the machines credit, they noticed the consistency with where my humor is.   In this episode, Eric and Alex mix Thanksgiving chaos with sharp takes on Tesla’s bizarre stock behavior and the latest geopolitical absurdities. Eric shares a wild holiday story involving police and an overzealous cou...

 In this episode of the John Wayne’s Surge Protector Podcast, Eric Halsey and Alex Midway break down what’s really going on in today’s unpredictable markets. First, Alex gives a clear, memorable primer on short selling — using a simple $1,100 / 100-share example to show potential gains, margin risk, and why timing matters. Then the hosts dig into recent moves in Tesla (a pop to $426, closing aroun...

Today we are talking corruption. While there is much to choose from we focus on the one brought by tariffs and what it takes to get those tariffs removed. You might know about some of the events but the things that our fearless leader is giving up in return for lavish gifts would make a corporate raider blush with the sell off of assets.  Why is the price of beef so high in America? The answer fro...

Today we  kick off with an update on Ukraine and the AI robot that was unleashed in Moscow earlier this week. It has since been taken to the glue factory to join the people that created it I would imagine. Link to this is below.  We are also talking about Israel's Unit 100, hence the preface that we are in no way shape or form suicidal. I swam to shore with my broken ankle and Eric is plannin...

Today we are talking about the many ways that the current administration is helping the American tax payer.  Can't afford a home? We got you. Can't afford a car? We got you. Just tired of working and want some trickle back goodness? We got you.  Also the Democratic shutdown has ended. It's called the Democratic shut down because the President is a Democrat, the House majority is Dem...

Messing around with some things and trying to blend in a little walkout music and always, input is appreciated.  We touch base on more than just Tesla in the news as we go in on acquisitions and shorts on today's show.   Fallout from the NYC mayoral race and a PSA about voting for the mayor of a town you don't live in. Dive a little into the wild adventures of our FBI director and what h...

Today we dive in to Tesla and stock as a whole, apparently we're not the only ones dumbfounded by the numbers.  Elon has a great invention up ahead and I'll give you a clue, it's not new tech where a Tesla stops itself before plowing into a baby carriage in a crosswalk.  The Ukraine update takes longer as today we're talking about multiple wars and not just one. Ukraine also do...

The Tesla ticker takes slightly more time than imagined as we get in to depth on stocks. Spoiler alert: still consider it to be a shell game Ukrainian SBU units have been busy and racking up high value targets all over Russia. Russia responds with a strike on a similar military target, just kidding.  We brave the deceptive world of Fox News to see the latest thing your uncle will be screaming abou...

Looks like we are about to enter the golden age of peace under President trump as Russia unveiled a nuclear powered, nuclear warhead capable ballistic missile. I am guessing this is made to show everyone of how safe everything will be going forward.  The election in DC is on going and to date Mamdani has not been deported but the day is young. We go over the pearl clutching and the imaginative way...

Today we look into coal and why some idiot thinks now is the time for it to get back into our lives.  Debating whether George Strait or Bad Bunny would have broader appeal is a conversation happening around the MAGA dinner table so we chime in.  Shooting live rounds over highways? Leave that to Ukraine my guy cause doing it over the I-5 is less than ideal.  Shameless cross platform promotion JWSPM...

Never a dull moment with the current administration and being gone for over a week just creates a treasure trove of activity.  Like the Broncos and Giants game, the President made you think things were going one way with Ukraine only to revert back to his nesting doll factory setting.  Elected leaders hire staffers that display American flags with swastikas on them and then proceed to tell you tha...

As always we hit the updates to start and transition like a school kid at lunch to updates on the ICE and fearless leader Kristi Noem.  The same people who like they tea sweetened to the point of diabetes and their sandwiches without a hint of spice are shockingly outraged at Bad Bunny playing the SB halftime show. TPUSA has a solution and Speaker Johnson has suggested a figure everyone can joy, L...

Another episode of us trying to understand the stock market and updates from Ukraine. You'll never guess what the red line is now but a hint is that it's what is currently being offered.  We talk about the lack of confirming the last member needed to push through the Epstein files vote.  MTG understands how healthcare subsidies work and why cutting them for the middle class is not a smar...

Today's episode is mostly filled with the events of the shut down and the people behind it. Find out what different agencies are saying about it, who's broke as a joke who's funding was not the least bit affected.  We talk about how about the anti defamation league is really a defamation league just full of hate. At least that's what the all seeing eyes of Kash tell us and he s...

Today we hit the usual suspects of the imaginary belief that the stock market is based on actual research and not a high school popularity contest and what's happening in the place most likely to birth WW3, the Ukraine conflict. Also on today's docket is the question of what was in Tom Homan's CAVA order (it wasn't quinoa based on his stature) and what happens when you tell you...

Just listen and enjoy. The episode photo is a real time when Charlie forgot which alternate account he was on and hilarity ensued.  Got feedback? We want to hear it.

We talk about the reasoning behind the Ukraine war, as seen through the eyes of Putin, and the irony of what is happening now.  More on what we've learned from the Charlie Kirk fallout.  Got feedback? We want to hear it.

Tesla stock has surged since last we talked on Thursday and the reasonings for this are wild. I say reasonings plural because there are opposing forces at work but apparently the word of a billionaire is the only one that matters.  Ukraine is going through the motions and trying hard to stay alive. Find out about the latest excursions for Ukrainian drones, Russia's new argument for why the wa...

Oh we are all Charlie Kirk here for the meat and potato portion of the pod today. Still hit the Tesla ticket, you won't imagine what happened when Tesla came out and said something will happen in the future. Seeing how things are in Ukraine and check in on Russia diversifying their strike package locations to within new borders. But yeah it's Charlie, Charlie, Charlie.  We talk about the...

Today we talk about the Jeffrey Epstein letter allegedly written by fearless leader, link to an article with it as the end here.  MAGA is all about bringing back things that we used to have, like polio and separate drinking fountains, and apparently that list now includes spousal abuse. The rule of thumb is now rule of the land. Rule of thumb comes from an old saying where you could be your wife a...

We are back from and extended break and another episode for everyone to enjoy. We talk about the new interim head of the CDC and how he is the right man for the job when someone with a Doctorate is not. What exactly is happening with the Epstein list and why is the White House so against it coming out. Stay through the whole episode and enjoy a quick little update at the end on some sanctions.  PS...

We've got Tesla update, we've got Ukraine information, we're talking Subway guy and not the kid diddler. We've got Texans, we've got Floridians, we've got diseases, you'll get diseases, no one will be able to diagnose or treat them so technically we won't have diseases.  It's the episode that has it all so come join and things are better in groups so sp...

Ukraine update and finally a good development for Ukraine. Spoiler alert it wasn't brought on by the goodwill of Couch Blast Vance or fearless leader.  Israel is out there camping out at spawn points and really ramping up their genocide game.  Worst thing about going to the museum is all that downer history - Guy who never goes to museums but is really offended by them. In case you want to le...

Today we are once again dumbfounded by the actions of the Tesla stock. All signs point to tank and like a child full of candy it does the unexpected and rallies hard.  Apparently a couple oil companies are out there working in Russia and expanding their operations instead of dialing it back. If anyone needs government subsidies it's a 2.4 billion dollar operation and not a hungry child - Thom...
