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.

Tesla's earnings call is tomorrow and the numbers floating around don't quite line up with a company valued at over a trillion dollars. We break down what Wall Street is projecting, what Tesla itself is projecting, and why those two numbers tell very different stories.
Ukraine has been busy — two landing craft in Crimea, a repaired pipeline with a very funny footnote, and a drone strike that hits a little too close to home for one particular piece of Russian infrastructure. Germany meanwhile is not amused after Russia published what amounts to a target list of European companies, and there's a bomb plot story coming out of Russia that conveniently involves a German woman and is very heavy on WW2 energy. We'll let you connect the dots on that one.
The federal government has quietly launched an investigation into a string of deaths and disappearances of nuclear scientists, aerospace engineers, and national security personnel. Nobody is saying anything alarming yet. We're saying some things.
The cabinet reshuffling continues — another secretary is out, and the details of why she's leaving paint quite a picture. We've now got a pattern forming with the departures and it's worth pointing out what these three women all have in common.
Kash Patel is reportedly not having a great month, and his response to the story about it comes with a very round dollar figure attached. Turning Point USA tried to fill a seat at a college event and ended up with ten people and a sitting Vice President. And we close out with some thoughts on workplace deregulation that will really make you feel great about the future of mining safety and home healthcare wages.
