15h ago30:45

30:45

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 re…

Our Corruption Special and Where's the Beef? 38:51

7d ago38:51

38:51

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…

We are not suicidal or clumsy enough to fall out a window 29:09

13d ago29:09

29:09

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 sho…

Governmental Relief Strategies Explained 40:17

17d ago40:17

40:17

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 De…

We've got an intro song now 37:22

22d ago37:22

37:22

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 adve…

Tesla's new invention and war updates (plural) 30:06

24d ago30:06

30:06

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 n…

Wonderful world of stocks! 37:08

29d ago37:08

37:08

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 t…

Missiles , Elections and ATC 33:59

1M ago33:59

33:59

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…

We talking coal 59:05

1M ago59:05

59:05

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 …

Back from the hiatus, lots of catching up 49:09

1M ago49:09

49:09

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 sw…

Ice ice ice episode with a little SB outrage mixed in 48:32

2M ago48:32

48:32

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 J…

CAVA bags and taking the assignment too literally 35:18

2M ago35:18

35:18

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 …

2M ago39:31

39:31

Tesla stock has surged since last we talked on Thursday and the reasonings for this are wild.

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.

HBD Jeffrey, Spousal Abuse and Israeli war crimes continue 37:27

3M ago37:27

37:27

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 …

3M ago42:22

42:22

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 real…

Texas oil in Russia, Who is Sigal Chattah and fence painting tips 37:42

3M ago37:42

37:42

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 do…

Teslas, Alaskans and the DC takeover 47:54

3M ago47:54

47:54

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 a…

Uncle Vlad is coming home and Pete hates women 50:59

4M ago50:59

50:59

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.By Alex Midway and Eric Halsey

Dive into the BLS and a heavy dose of Luigi 2.0 48:32

4M ago48:32

48:32

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…

Soviet Max and Federal Reserve deep dive 32:58

4M ago32:58

32:58

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.

Golfing in Scottland, Sydney and the race theory, SP episode recap 41:11

41:11

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 i…

HE'LL YEAH BORTHER and Obama is a terrorist.... again. 35:09

4M ago35:09

35:09

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…

43:53

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.

This is not the Epstein list you were looking for 36:55

5M ago36:55

36:55

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 d…

5M ago43:57

43:57

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 b…

5M ago32:14

32:14

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 h…

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.

45:07

Today's episode takes a bit of a deep dive on the upcoming trump T1 phone and the trump phone service.

We're talking birthday parades, DOD appeasement and everything is bigger in Texas including fear 37:35

5M ago37:35

Section 12406 and gov't overreach today. 36:54

6M ago36:54

36:54

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 smal…

Spiderwebs, Elon's fight club and more on Taco Tuesday 35:17

6M ago35:17

35:17

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…

We're talking golden planes and Kushner 30:22

7M ago30:22

30:22

It is tough to figure out what is the most riveting headline in today's world. I wish there was no breaking news every five minutes and every story more sensational than the other but what I wish for and what happens are not the same. Fearless leader is getting a plane. Carter sold a peanut farm, this guy is accepting a 400 mil plane. Why is Qatar'…
