John Wayne's Surge Protector podcast is two guys discussing the world around us on a twice weekly basis. We try to look at things that we think are huge deals and sometimes those items are also flying under the radar for a lot of other media channels. Having known each other for many years some of the jokes you hear may not come off as jokes. Keep listening and you will get in the loop soon enough as well. We have a link to leave any feedback in most of the episodes so don't hesitate to reach out.

Episodes

Budapest Memorandum, Texas is soft and states that need to mind their own business. 20.08.2025

We talk about the aftermath of the historic summit where US troops were on their hands and knees unrolling a literal red carpet for a war criminal. Anything positive happen out of that? Of course, we are ever so much closer to Budapest Memorandum 2: Electric Bugaloo.  Governor Abbott continues to roll out all the tricks he can do for the President. Things like fetch, sit, sit there waiting for me...

Teslas, Alaskans and the DC takeover 16.08.2025

Tesla is about to lose a whole slew of tax credits and the stock had a reflection of that with a full 1% dip so keep believing that s ain't rigged. Trump and his Soviet mentor are meeting in Alaska to talk about diving up a country that is not represented at those talks because that's how negotiations work. National Guardsmen on the streets of DC and the 2A crowd is eerily silent on tyra...

Uncle Vlad is coming home and Pete hates women 13.08.2025

From the artwork to the content we look at why Ukraine is screwed even before the meeting between Trump and Putin starts. Pete Hegseth, the secretary of Defense, decides that it's God's will that you broads get back to the kitchen. Interesting logic that we try and understand.  Got feedback? We want to hear it.

Dive into the BLS and a heavy dose of Luigi 2.0 07.08.2025

We hit the usuals with Tesla ticker and an update on Ukraine. Sounds like the offer Witkoff made to Putin is not exactly one where both sides lose something but it is fair.  We talk about the firing of Dr. Erica McEntarfer and I proceed to butcher her name so apologies there. What is the Bureau of Labor Statistics, what do they do and how many rings of fire do they need to jump through to bring us...

Tesla payouts, Who's Steve Witkoff and why is he so awesome, Hawley is the people's champ 06.08.2025

Today we're looking at the Tesla board's attempt to hand Elon some money so that he can keep his lights on for another week. We talk about why 30 billion is the new number, what he did to earn it and compare it to other rich folk just to make ourselves feel worse.  Steve Witkoff is off on an adventure to make the hobbits headed to smelt a ring seem like a cake walk, he's off to nego...

Soviet Max and Federal Reserve deep dive 01.08.2025

Stock market is ran by random numbers generator, I'm convinced of it and prove it with today's Tesla numbers. Russia is consolidating its surveillance of the people into smaller packages. We do a quick section on the wonderful world of gov't surveillance and the other Max app.  Majority of the episode is dealing with what is the Federal reserve, the current power struggle and how na...

Golfing in Scottland, Sydney and the race theory, SP episode recap 30.07.2025

Welcome all and we're rolling with an episode that has artwork that might get us sued but we'll just claim we're "edgy". Today we talk about the ultimatum going from 50 to somewhere between 10-12 days and I feel like using a range of numbers kind of makes it not an ultimatum but who knows. We talk about our tax dollars at work, how American Eagle is allegedly the Hugo Boss...

HE'LL YEAH BORTHER and Obama is a terrorist.... again. 25.07.2025

Earlier this week we lost Ozzy but the pendulum swung the other way and took Hulk Hogan as well. Trump decided that it is super Presidential behavior to tweet fake video of Obama going to jail. Went as far as saying "no one is above the law" with a straight face so that is a sign of self control or dementia, doubt it's both. Lisa Murkowski got what was coming and Trump added Alaska...

Tesla Diner and the Commanders previous logo 23.07.2025

We explore the mystic ball that is the stock market and brush up on our lingo. Things like EPS, past expectations and why things gain value when everything about them says it shouldn't. Check in on Ukraine and the amount of peace we're having in the region. Majority of the show is about the Washington Redskins logo history, Presidential misdirection campaign and another dive of "is...

Can't get enough of that Jeffrey 18.07.2025

Tune in today as we expose Ukranian military fortresses that masquerade as grocery stores! This ought to get some clicks if we're pushing conspiracies. Firings at the DOJ and suppression of the Epstein list are the big ticket items today. Grab the popcorn and tune in.  Link to the trump shooting video we reference in the episode https://x.com/essenviews/status/1945870392742359433?s=43&t=L...

Ukraine promises and Texas sorrow 16.07.2025

Today's episode is heavily based on the promises made to Ukraine and negligence committed in Texas to get the death toll to where it is. Tune in and unplug for another episode of comedic gold that is our current timeline.  Got feedback? We want to hear it.

Blame game for the flooding 11.07.2025

We start off with the usual hits of Ukraine and Tesla along with a quick dabble on the topic of privacy with Venmo. Majority of the show is about the floods in Texas and the people who are in position of power along with what they did or did not do to avert and deal with this disaster. In case you're looking for the Nick Tarnasky, an NHL enforcer, vs strong golf bro the link is below https://...

This is not the Epstein list you were looking for 09.07.2025

Today we recap a few things since the last week since we are good little Americans and celebrated the 4th of July. That in turn made us bad little wage slaves since we took a personal day but seeing as this profession yields zero returns let's just call it a zero sum game. Tune as we talk about the Texas flood and what one representative wants to do to stop this from happening. Bless her toes...

American Royals wedding, Papa's fighting with other papa again and start smelling better 02.07.2025

Oh man it's been a wild and depressing weekend and this Tuesday is shaping up to be a woof of a week. Senate has told the poors of this country to screw themselves and if you don't have a yacht you're in the poors category. America's royals, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, got married over the weekend. There's a new Alcatraz in town that was built by good Christian men of G...

Kat Commack's mental gymnastics, Todd Lyons (not the fun bike one), N Korean getaways 01.07.2025

Today we discuss the Florida (shocker I know) Congresswoman who had complications with her surgery and was forced to experience the stupidity of legislation that she is championing for all women in her state. I want to say the outcome will shock you but I don't sell our listeners short.  There is a Todd Lyons who rides bikes and seems like a great human being and then there is Todd Lyons the...

AARP Assassins, MAAGA, Asbestos is in baby! 25.06.2025

Robotaxis are running wild in Texas, the retirement age in Russia is definitely not 65 and we talk Iran fallout, or lack thereof I guess. Deep dive of the week is asbestos and how it's been misunderstood. Tune in and tune out for about 40 minutes before our next war starts.  P.S. That picture of JD allegedly got a Norwegian student denied entry to the U.S. They guy thought the hard part was b...

Trump phone, maga disagreements, Democratic assassin 22.06.2025

Today's episode takes a bit of a deep dive on the upcoming trump T1 phone and the trump phone service. We also discuss how billionaires will continue to stay rich, magas fighting magas (you love to see it) and how a guy who has nothing but Democratic figures on his hit list is also somehow a Democrat.  Whitest kids you know clip we reference https://www.instagram.com/reel/DK49Um-OQbA/?igsh=ZW...

We're talking birthday parades, DOD appeasement and everything is bigger in Texas including fear 18.06.2025

If you are newly joining us thank you and hopefully the show helps fill a void where we can chuckle and learn about our runaway railroad car called the American democracy. Today we touch up on a mini dive on NHTSA dropping the Safety part of the name, the parade is a center point and we discuss legislation in Texas that was thought of in a time machine. So essentially the time America was great. C...

Rubio kisses the ring, Hegseth can't take a hint, Money is a construct. 13.06.2025

It's an episode of all kinds of whirlwind stuff that's been going on lately. Tune in and listen. We're also trying something different and leaving a link below where you can hopefully click the link. Some of the stuff we discuss needs to be witnessed first hand and Pete Hegseth confirming there are plans to invade Greenland is one of them. If this doesn't work just go search ou...

Section 12406 and gov't overreach today. 11.06.2025

Usually we touch base on a number of topics but honestly there's nothing bigger currently than National Guard troops in LA with the promise of active duty Marines being deployed as well. Gotta really look closely to see the gap between the little hand and the 12 o'clock position on the doomsday clock these days and that space is shrinking ever smaller.  Got feedback? We want to hear it.

More Spiderwebs, domestic surveillance and the parents are fighting 06.06.2025

Today we talk more about Ukraine and the reactions to the attack they managed to execute over the weekend. How do you feel about it and how you should feel about it from the if you have a red hat (or two) with four capital letters on it. Palantir and how your life is about to change thanks to a weaponized Excel spreadsheet in the hands of a private corporation. Lastly mom and dad are fighting and...

Spiderwebs, Elon's fight club and more on Taco Tuesday 04.06.2025

We discuss the operations that Ukraine was able to pull over the weekend while we rotted our brains on the couch ordering doordash and watching Survivor. Not only was it drones and strategic bomber mating season, multiple bridges in Russia succumbed to the power of gravity. Maybe not just gravity but the point is they fell. We discuss Elon's shiner and how it was one hundred percent not cause...

Financial investment tips from the elites 30.05.2025

Today we talk about Elon's successes, or lack thereof, in Europe. Got some money to blow and want to be surrounded by fellow spineless bootlickers? Have we got the club that was tailor made for you. Now if you lack the money currently or if you are facing some criminal charges we got you covered as well. Today's episode we examine the amazing ROI's (return on investment) strategies...

FAFO Hawley, Walmart tarrifs and Diddy trial 23.05.2025

Start out with the usual bangers with the Tesla ticker and Ukraine updates. We dive into the corporate world of tarrifs, boot licking and the inaugural fund (it's a keeper). Finish off (pun intended) with the Diddy trial and the cameo by Kid Cudi Got feedback? We want to hear it.

Ashli's ghost got paid, Big Bird is a ghost now, love thy neighbor 21.05.2025

Today we tackle another slew of alligator equivalent of the news. As always, Tesla and Ukraine at the top of the show with a life hack on how rushing the Capitol can get your family paid. Hope you weren't watching those woke traitors at Sesame Street because they've been 86'ed. Lastly the Trump administration is showing their Christian side and bringing in members of the Sinaloa car...
