Welcome to another engaging episode of The Podcast, broadcasting live from the Asylum Studios in Eagle Pass, Texas. Tonight, we reflect on the week's events, including an unexpected increase in our show count, and delve into the chaotic news cycle, highlighting the controversy surrounding the Epstein files and the FBI's involvement.
In a candid discussion, I share my personal experiences of living in New York City, detailing the high cost of living, the taxing commute, and the reasons behind my move to Texas. We also touch on the importance of local politics and the need for community involvement, especially with the upcoming mayoral elections in Eagle Pass.
I'm joined by Aaron Valdez, a candidate for mayor of Eagle Pass, who shares insights into his campaign, his vision for the city, and his commitment to improving local governance. We discuss the significance of voter turnout and the impact of local elections on everyday life.
Throughout the episode, we also explore various health supplements available at the Alex Jones Store, emphasizing the benefits of products like Ultimate Irish Sea Moss and Optimal Human. We encourage listeners to support the podcast through donations and by purchasing these health products.

Welcome to the podcast where every episode promises an unfiltered dive into the eclectic, the profound, and sometimes the absurd. No topic is off limits. Nothing is sacred, and political correctness takes a back seat.
[00:01:20] Unknown:
Well, hey, folks. This is Joe Rusciello, and it is great to be with you on this beautiful Friday night live at the Asylum Studios, and doing the very best that we can to bring you the best quality talk radio we could muster without all the bluster. Welcome to the podcast. Oh, folks, it is great to be with you guys here tonight on this beautiful Friday night. 73 degrees right now here on the, pimple on the backside of Texas, the beautiful city of Eagle Pass down here in, the bowels of Southwest Texas. But folks, hey, another week has come and gone, and, I did not keep my promise to you.
So I wanna apologize. You might be thinking, wow. What are you talking about? What what what did you do? What did you say? What promise are you talking about? Well, I promised you guys we'd only do three shows this week, and here we did five. So I'm sorry. I'd I'd I ask you to forgive me. I hope you do. I pray you do. It'd be nice if you did. I'd appreciate that. Folks, yeah, it is Friday night, and, looking forward to, to to getting the weekend underway. But we had an insane an insane day in the news, and it has been just one thing after another today. It's been between, between the, the Epstein files being withheld or hidden by the, New York field office of the FBI, the New York Southern District, obstructing a direct well, first of all, executive order from the president of The United States, and then, an explicit directive from the attorney general of The United States, and then, of course, the director of the FBI himself, this, and I don't use the word like I know I'm I'm smiling when I say it, but because I never thought I would say it.
Being held by this rogue element of the FBI, of course, in the cesspool of New York City, that wonderful cesspool that it is. And I can say that because I lived there for the majority of my life. Forty three years of my life, I lived there. I worked for the city for twenty three years. So I can I can say that it's a cesspool? It's a shithole is what it is. I don't care what you that's one of the things that I found really amazing when I when I first moved down here to Texas, especially in Eagle Pass here. Everybody's fascinated with New York. Everybody oh, why? Why'd you leave New York? Why would you come here? Oh my god. Why would you do that? And after a while, you know, you you kinda get tired of explaining it, you know. The only way you really understand a move like that is if you had lived in New York.
I mean, of course, you go down the list of all of the, you know, the usual cost of living things. Yeah. It would cost me, like, 20 something bucks just to cross a bridge to go to work every day. Yeah. It would cost me, like, like, almost a hundred dollars a week in gas just because of all the traffic you're sitting in. Yes. My office was literally and this is a true story. Okay? My office was literally 13 miles from my front door, and it would take me two and a half to three hours every day to get to work. Now everybody would say, well, just do public transportation. Why are you gonna sit in traffic and waste all that gas and those because it takes the same amount of time by public transportation that it does to sit in my car and do it. And at least in my car, I can drink my coffee. I can have something to eat. I can listen to the radio. I can listen to some news. I can get up to date, you know, of course, the up to date traffic information that is just it's like, why bother even listening to it? Because it just just it's it's always traffic. It never fails. It never ends.
So you get tired of explaining it after a while and you just don't. You know, you you your basic answer is just move there, live there for a little while, and then you'll understand just how miserable it is. You got cameras on every street corner, high cost of living, high rent, high taxes. You get taxed unbelievably in New York. You get taxed city tax, state tax, federal tax, and all the other, withholdings that come out of your check. You know, I made a pretty decent salary by most standards, but you know something? When you when you factor in all of the taxes, fees, tolls, all the other stuff that comes with living in New York City, you get, whatever you make on paper is just exactly that is on paper.
So you might make a hundred and $20,000 a year, but on that's on paper. In reality, you're making, like, 50 after all of the expenses. So it's not so it's not that great. That's why I called assess pool and, I kinda got off at a little rabbit trail there already, so that's not a good sign for the rest of the night. But, we, but, but, yeah, the, the Southern District New York is, basically hiding and withholding information from the attorney general's office, regarding the, the, the Epstein files. And, you know, I like Pam Bondi, but I think she kinda got I think she made a mistake with this Epstein files phase one binder thing that they gave out. I I I don't think that was a good idea. I think that just, it just to me, it just it indicates to me that that is a very good possibility. Maybe she's in a little bit over her head.
And like I said, I I look. I I'm a fan of the administration. I I I am a fan of Donald Trump, and I think he's doing a great job, and, this is exactly what what what the country needs. This is what I I I voted for. I think Pam Bondi is a is is great. I think she's very talented, but I don't know if she's prepared for this. That's just my opinion. You know? But let me know what you think. I'm curious about that. You can drop a comment here in the live chat or you can drop a comment down below. Also, email me at [email protected]. That's [email protected].
Now, kinda got off a little bit of a a a quick start there, but we're gonna just take a minute here, go back, and just, take care of a couple of quick little housekeeping things like we usually do. This way we could, you know, kinda get this stuff out of the way and get some folks to, hopefully donate and, visit our our affiliate shop and, tell you about a couple other things. Alright.

And should I tell you about the $20,000 cash? Nah. You could find that out by yourself by heading to the alexjonesstore.com/joe. Alright. Now, as you know, we have, now started streaming on Rumble live exclusively. We are we have tried to do, YouTube, but YouTube keeps rejecting our connection, through the Rumble platform. So you know what? Fuck them. We're not gonna bother. We'll we'll we we only have one video posted up there, and it took me three hours to get it up because the, network and YouTube's ridiculous process of the whole thing. So, yeah. So fuck them. We're we're we're not gonna bother. We're just gonna shut it down.
Wasting my time. I I wasn't gonna put the whole show over there anyway. I was only gonna put, like, maybe fifteen minutes of it and then direct everybody over here to Rumble, but that's fine. I I we don't need YouTube. We got Rumble. I got the best audience possible. Even though I don't don't have very many of you watching tonight, but I do get the downloads later on, so I do appreciate that. So, we're excited for it. So, so I was gonna tell you about about YouTube, but forget them. Screw them. We're not gonna bother. But with Rumble, we first started doing Rumble with just the audio. We got some good reactions, and good downloads from that. And, now that we have redesigned our studio, made it more for video type podcast, we, we started doing the video shows, and the they're I I I hate video. I I really don't like it, because I feel like I'm very awkward on it.
I I can do things, I could I could do do things, make facial expressions and all that stuff, you know, on on on a non video stream that you guys don't see, so I can get away with those those those things. But, alright. So let's see. Alright. So our guest is here, and so we're gonna take a break, and I'm gonna go get him. And when I come back from this break, we'll get into our conversation with our guest. Alright, folks. So this is the podcast. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share it with your friends, your family, and your followers, and we'll be back in just a few minutes. Stay with us. Alright.
Kinda felt like we're in Mr. Rogers' neighborhood there for a minute. That was quick though. You know what? I think I actually probably played the wrong track, because I selected a nine minute track. This way I can get him all set up, but we were able to get it done pretty quick, and we'll get we'll get to our guest here in just a minute. Let me finish telling you about our new Rumble channel. Alright. So, like I said, we started uploading the show to Rumble, and, we tried doing the YouTube, but for some reason YouTube YouTube keeps rejecting our live connection. So like I said, screw them. We're not gonna bother.
I'll close the account, and we'll just stick with Rumble. I love being on Rumble. And in full disclosure, with Rumble, I am a shareholder in Rumble. So, I have a vested interest in Rumble's success as well as my own here with the show. So, what I need you to do though is I need you to head over to Rumble, rumble.com/ruse. This is for the folks that are listening on the audio channels. Head over to rumble.com/ruse, and, just click that follow button. Make sure you like the videos. Make sure you share them with your friends, your family, your followers. Help us spread the word about what we're doing here. Opening opening an account is absolutely free. Doesn't cost you a thing, but the only drawback to that is is that there are mid roll ads that will come through from time to time. I have no control over that. They just Rumble just inserts them just like YouTube does wherever they feel like doing it. So, if you want the ad free experience, you can sign up for Rumble premium, which is, you know, you can get for as little as $10 a month. Now there are some creators that have, other packages and plans that they do and but we're not gonna do that. We're we I believe that, you know, what we're doing here should be free. We totally rely and depend upon the donations of our of our audience, our listeners, our friends.
So, we're not gonna we're not gonna go behind a paywall. We're not gonna charge you for this stuff. All we're doing is asking for a donation. But you can get Rumble premium for as little as $10 a month, which will at least eliminate a lot of that, those, those ads that you see. And if you want the added premium packages that other content creators have, which I don't know why you would go to anybody else but here, you can do that if you like. Alright? Alright. So, again, rumble.com/joe. Like, subscribe, share it with your friends, your family, and your followers. Don't forget to hit that little notification bell so you are made aware of our presence for the night.
Alright. Well, sitting across from me right now is, is somebody that we've had the pleasure of speaking with before. He had been here in the studio when we were just doing the audio, and I don't even think we're doing it live yet. I think we're just doing, I think we're just doing the, the just the audio feed, and we were recording it. So, but sitting across me right now is Aaron Valdez, who is the candidate or one of the candidates for mayor for the city of Eagle Pass. There he is. He got it. He found the button. You know what I forgot to do, brother? I forgot to close that curtain behind. Yeah. Just pull it closer. There you go.
No one needs to see my window blinds and air conditioner. Right? There you go. Much better. Much better. Thank you, sir. Aaron. This is great, man. So so Aaron is, is is is a candidate for mayor for the city of Eagle Pass, and, we are really excited to have him here. He's also a local local businessman, entrepreneur, family business, running a business on his own. And, we have we really enjoyed the conversation that we had the last time you were with us, Aaron. It was great to meet you, and, you know, I'm really excited about your candidacy and, your campaign. I've been following you on all your socials, your Facebook, your Instagram, and, I'm really liking what I'm seeing out there. And, it is again, it's just great to have you. I know you just came from an event too. Right? Yes. Yes. Thank you, Joe. Just come a little closer. Here you go.
[00:31:11] Unknown:
Thank you for having me. Can you hear me? Good. There we go. There we go. Okay. Yes. Thank you for having me, Joe, again. And, yes, we just came back, from from a event at the lake. And, well, we're campaigning, man.
[00:31:27] Unknown:
And how's the campaign going?
[00:31:30] Unknown:
Pretty good. Pretty good. I feel like it's it's it's good in the sense that, we have to get our message across. We have to reach these voters in Eagle Pass. And, I've I've I've been in the industry of sales, for a long period of my time, and door knocking is key. So, I enjoy the the sunlight, enjoy working out, and and being able to have that face to face contact with with everyone.
[00:32:00] Unknown:
Well that's great, man. Like I said, I've been following the campaign since the last time we met, and, and I'm I've been really impressed with, with just how how how how tightened up your your message is becoming. Okay. And it is fantastic. I really I really do I really do enjoy what I'm seeing. And, just in in full disclosure by the way, I did send invitations out to, to, your, opponents. Okay. And, so far I've gotten no response from one. Okay. And I've got a standard response from the other. Somebody from our campaign will be in touch with you, and not a word. So I really do appreciate that you take the time out of your campaigning, out of your family time, to to chat with us and, and to be here tonight. And I know it's been a busy week for you. I've seen you all over the place, and and now this event at the lake. So what was this event at the lake?
[00:32:52] Unknown:
Oh, it's it's creating awareness, for heart disease, and, I I believe it's it it really touches, home or I would say, well, being involved in the Maverick County Hospital District, any any event to create awareness, and it's crucial to to be involved involved in. So, I mean, it's it's it hits home
[00:33:24] Unknown:
being part of the of Maverick County Hospital District. Well and I was gonna say that you are a you are a member of the board. Correct? I am the chairman of the board. Oh, excuse me.
[00:33:35] Unknown:
So six years in Maverick County Hospital District for those as a chairman, and I I do wanna emphasize that we've lowered taxes 19%.
[00:33:44] Unknown:
Oh, that's great.
[00:33:46] Unknown:
But at the same time at the same time, maintain the same,
[00:33:49] Unknown:
quality of services so people don't have to travel to San Antonio and and Laredo to be taken care of. Yeah. That's something that, because, you know, I I I work my, my regular job in a in a nursing home, and, a a lot of a lot of the patients from time to time that we have to transfer to San Antonio I mean, I'm sorry, to, the local hospital, Fort Duncan, oftentimes, they have to be transported again from the hospital here to either Uvalde, which is about forty five minutes or so, an hour away, and sometimes as far as San Antonio, which is two hours, two and a half hours depending on where they go. So it was so it's it's it's difficult, and especially for the family members that that we come across, but, but expanding what the hospital district here offers is is really, really important. Now how how much control over that does the mayor's office have?
[00:34:45] Unknown:
Not much. I mean, that's what the Mavic County Hospital District does. Okay. I mean, that that that's independent from the city. Okay. But, yeah. I mean, that's more of a Mavic County Hospital District. Issue. Job. Okay. Issue.
[00:35:07] Unknown:
Awesome. Awesome. And, so the last time we were together, you know, we were kind of fleshing out a lot of the ideas that you were coming up that you were trying to bring forward in your campaign, and and one of the things that really struck with me is of course, you know, safety and my background in law enforcement, you know, it's always something that that I'm interested in. And now with the with the new administration here, and finally at in the White House, and we have some measure of sanity, restored here. I know that I've seen a sharp decrease in, in, in, migrant activity coming through this coming through the city, and I think that's great, and, you know you know you know, my my my I tip my hat to the to the border patrol and customs, and and also to, DPS, and and if and, you know, a lot of the unsung heroes are the local police and sheriff's department and constables, and, you you know, because they they dealt with it also. Maybe not to the extreme extreme of the, border patrol or DPS. But pretty involved. Yes. And there's there's Charlie howling in the background there. So if you heard some kind of unearthly sound, he He's looking for some attention tonight.
But, but going forward now, now that this new administration is in place, I'm I'm pretty sure that there were that we're gonna continue working with the federal government to secure the border to keep the border secure, and make sure that these illegal crossings are decreasing, even more so than what they already have. I think I I read something a couple of days ago where it was 94%. Let me let me go check on hold one second, because that's not normal. Alright. So we have to let them in for a minute, and they'll they'll calm down shortly.
And I'm sorry about that, Aaron. Oh, no. It's fine. It's fine. This is not something that they normally do. So, the whole time we had we had Wayne here, they stayed out there, they were super quiet, you know. When George was here, they stayed out there, they were super quiet. The first time you were here, they were out there super quiet, but they are just,
[00:37:20] Unknown:
Yeah. It's it's fired by our our snouzers, they smell.
[00:37:24] Unknown:
It's probably yeah. And also, whatever's you brought in from the lake. That's all. Yeah. For sure. So, so what direction are we going with the campaign right now? How are we looking? How are we trending? How how are things moving along? I mean, I I really I'm getting a great response from the community, to be honest. I mean, they're really reaching out,
[00:37:42] Unknown:
through social media and just really wanting to be involved. And we're still wanting everyone within the community to also, get involved and volunteer. I mean, it's it's to try to spread the message, create awareness. And, Joe, like, honestly, out of 50,000 residents in Eagle Pass, we get 4,000 voters
[00:38:06] Unknown:
for Really? That's it. For for, mayoral election.
[00:38:10] Unknown:

[00:38:14] Unknown:
Out of 50,000?
[00:38:17] Unknown:
That's insane. Let's hope we get a good turnout for for for this coming one. But that's insane.
[00:38:23] Unknown:
I mean, you know, one of the things that that like, okay. How how do I how do I phrase this? Personally speaking, I think local politics, local government, is so much more important than the federal government. You know, you would think that more people would be involved in what's happening here locally. I mean, this is this what happens here directly affects you. I agree. You know, and I don't understand how people don't vote. I I I don't get it.
[00:39:02] Unknown:
So we're we're hoping that since they were pretty involved in general elections, they that there's still they still have that spike in in them to go out and vote for this, local election.
[00:39:14] Unknown:
Wow. That's and and the the, the election starts March. Right? The early voting? April 22. April '20 second. Okay. I don't know why I had March something in my head. But April 22 to May. April '20 second. Alright, folks. So if you're listening, if you're here at Eagle Pass listening in, get out and vote. Please vote. You know, my look. Look, I'm this is a non PC show. I'm gonna say what I have to say. Okay? If you don't vote, then you have to keep your mouth shut. Alright? You have nothing to complain about. You have nothing to say. You have no criticisms you can make. If you are not gonna be taking part in the in the electoral process, shut your mouth.
Alright? Because if if you don't get a guy like Aaron into office who is who is is rock solid on his positions, intelligent, can speak, for crying out loud, can speak. Alright. I've heard one of your opponents give an off the cuff interview on a Facebook page one day, and oh my god. Okay. If it's not scripted it's like it's like you're talking to Kamala Harris. It's like it's it's the word salad, and it's just I don't know, but folks if you gotta get out and vote man, this is your local elections are the most important elections. Now I feel you, Joe. That's what it that's what affects you every single day of your life.
Not what goes on with the federal government. I mean, that's that's important, yeah, for international stuff and for, you know, but but when it comes to your everyday life, your school districts, your your your your health care, your your your local streets and and and public safety, it starts right here where you live. You have to get involved, so please get involved. Don't sit back.
[00:41:09] Unknown:

Right? We have we have about a month and a half to go, and and we we're already knocking doors, trying to have as many events as we can. We're gonna have, an event this, Sat tomorrow, we have an event at the lake, which is market day at the lake. Okay. I'll be there from, two, twelve to to 02:30 just to hear people out. I'll be giving, enzyme, organic enzyme to clean, toilets while actually giving some food and
[00:41:56] Unknown:
I love the gifts you give. Yeah. Those those are great. You know, you I remember you you came about you came about where I worked, which I wasn't I didn't even know. So before anybody says anything, just because I know the guy, it doesn't mean he tells me every move he makes. Okay? He he he came it was, somebody from your campaign. Was it your wife also came? My wife. And, they gave out blankets to the residents, which was great, and I still see some of the residents, you know, using them throughout the day, which was great. And, I know you were going door to door with them for a while, and now you're giving out toilet enzymes.
[00:42:30] Unknown:
That's great. It's a way to be different and and Absolutely. Make make sure people remember so they can really invest into the message, and with that, reach out and then eventually
[00:42:42] Unknown:
vote. That's right. I mean, that's that's the main thing. You gotta get out and vote people. I mean, the local elections are key. Just local, you know, right here at home and your state elections, you know. And speaking of the state, man, have you been following what's going on with the state?
[00:42:59] Unknown:
Somewhat. Yeah.
[00:43:01] Unknown:
We got some issues there, don't we? We do. I mean,
[00:43:05] Unknown:
I I I try to make sure that this is a a local election and and but I I we have to maintain a continuous communication with with our state and and federal, but, that's as as much as we could do here locally is open door policy and make sure whichever platform they want us to follow, I mean, we we we align with. Yeah.
[00:43:32] Unknown:
The, I I was I follow a guy on, on x. His name is, Brian Harrison. Okay. He's the rep for Hidalgo, I think I think it is, and, he posts a scorecard Okay. Just about every day, you know, how many how many how many bills were read, how many bills were adopted, and it's always zero zero zero zero zero, and then they vote themselves a four day weekend, and the only thing that the, that that the state house has voted on I'm talking about, like, the lower house, not the Senate. K. The senate actually has been doing more work than than than the lower house has, and the only thing they voted on, since they really got in there was, some resolution about Beyonce.
So the, you know, it's it's very interesting to say the least. But, I know I know that, you know, the even when you go down to the to to even closer to home, you know, there's a lot of stuff that goes on that that, probably shouldn't be going on. And, as the mayor coming in, what do you think about setting up like a Doge style organization to come on in and clean house?
[00:44:55] Unknown:
Well, I I if you Did I put you on the spot? Sorry. Somewhat. But if if if you really go to our office at El Indio, by El Indio, you'll see where we really stand on that type of management, and we need to be efficient. And like I mentioned, we've been in the hospital district. I've been chairman for four years, and we've lowered taxes 19%. And if you really looked at at local politics, I mean, they tend to really attack, current administration on how they manage your budget. They're not gonna talk about the hospital district because we're we're it's being well managed. Yeah.
[00:45:42] Unknown:
So you're gonna bring that into the city? Yes sir. Alright. Alright that's good to know, that's good to know. I'm gonna be watching brother. Yes. I'm gonna be watching, I'm gonna call you out. Please do it, please do. No, of course, we're gonna work together on stuff, I'm sure. So I'm gonna say something that I kind of alluded to a couple of nights ago on the show, and it has to do with you. I know politically, if you will go by party affiliation, we're we're we don't exactly line up in the in the right in the same spot. Okay? Okay. I don't generally give an endorsement of a candidate, but with you sitting here across the way from me, I am officially going to give my endorsement for Aaron Valdez for mayor for the city of Eagle Pass.
And, it would probably it'll probably be the first time in my life that I am voting outside of party. So, you've impressed me. You really have. And the conversations we've had inside the studio, outside the studio, the work you've been doing on the streets, going out, meeting the people, talking to the people, getting to know people, plus your reputation in the community is, you know, is outstanding. Believe me, I've done my due diligence. You know, I've I've checked I've checked you out, and, I I I'm really impressed with what I've learned and what I've seen, and that's why I have no problem right now making the official, you know, not that I have a huge audience here. I'm not like Joe Rogan yet, but, you know Yeah. But, but I I absolutely definitely, Aaron Valdez, I give you my full endorsement for for the for the president, for the mayor of Eagle Pass, Texas, and man, I I I whatever I can do to help you out, we're gonna help you out. No, Joe. This really means
[00:47:41] Unknown:
a lot, and and and believe me, I I feel like you're genuine in the fact that you did do your due diligence, you did your research, and you're making the the right decision based on the digging you did. And and I I I actually had a couple of meetings today, and it's it's about letting the the the public know, like, invest in, like, getting to know your candidates. I mean, I'm not I'm not I'm not gonna ask people to to I'm not gonna ask people for their vote until they do their research on those other candidates that are running and then make the decision.
[00:48:17] Unknown:
That's right. That that that's the way you should do it. No. No. Please, brother. That's that's that's my that's my privilege. It's my pleasure. And, you know, I am absolutely looking forward to having more time with you on the show in, in the days and weeks to come. And, I like, I I've said it before, bro. You know, when, you know, when you do win, you know, you know, we're gonna we're gonna have to do, like, a regular segment with you. Come on and give us a state of the city type of thing. Yes. You know, that I think that would be fantastic, because I don't know if you know, but, because I know you're busy, so it's it's hard to keep track of all the other stuff going on. But, you know, we started this podcast only doing recordings, you know, once a week. I'm doing five nights a week now. I'm doing shows Monday through Monday through Friday.
And That's right. Yeah. So so there's gonna be a lot of opportunity for you to come on and and to talk about things that are going on. I think you just turned the light off.

Welcome to the podcast where every episode promises an unfiltered dive into the eclectic, the profound, and sometimes the absurd. No topic is off limits. Nothing is sacred, and political correctness takes a back seat.
[00:01:20] Unknown:
Well, hey, folks. This is Joe Rusciello, and it is great to be with you on this beautiful Friday night live at the Asylum Studios, and doing the very best that we can to bring you the best quality talk radio we could muster without all the bluster. Welcome to the podcast. Oh, folks, it is great to be with you guys here tonight on this beautiful Friday night. 73 degrees right now here on the, pimple on the backside of Texas, the beautiful city of Eagle Pass down here in, the bowels of Southwest Texas. But folks, hey, another week has come and gone, and, I did not keep my promise to you.
So I wanna apologize. You might be thinking, wow. What are you talking about? What what what did you do? What did you say? What promise are you talking about? Well, I promised you guys we'd only do three shows this week, and here we did five. So I'm sorry. I'd I'd I ask you to forgive me. I hope you do. I pray you do. It'd be nice if you did. I'd appreciate that. Folks, yeah, it is Friday night, and, looking forward to, to to getting the weekend underway. But we had an insane an insane day in the news, and it has been just one thing after another today. It's been between, between the, the Epstein files being withheld or hidden by the, New York field office of the FBI, the New York Southern District, obstructing a direct well, first of all, executive order from the president of The United States, and then, an explicit directive from the attorney general of The United States, and then, of course, the director of the FBI himself, this, and I don't use the word like I know I'm I'm smiling when I say it, but because I never thought I would say it.
Being held by this rogue element of the FBI, of course, in the cesspool of New York City, that wonderful cesspool that it is. And I can say that because I lived there for the majority of my life. Forty three years of my life, I lived there. I worked for the city for twenty three years. So I can I can say that it's a cesspool? It's a shithole is what it is. I don't care what you that's one of the things that I found really amazing when I when I first moved down here to Texas, especially in Eagle Pass here. Everybody's fascinated with New York. Everybody oh, why? Why'd you leave New York? Why would you come here? Oh my god. Why would you do that? And after a while, you know, you you kinda get tired of explaining it, you know. The only way you really understand a move like that is if you had lived in New York.
I mean, of course, you go down the list of all of the, you know, the usual cost of living things. Yeah. It would cost me, like, 20 something bucks just to cross a bridge to go to work every day. Yeah. It would cost me, like, like, almost a hundred dollars a week in gas just because of all the traffic you're sitting in. Yes. My office was literally and this is a true story. Okay? My office was literally 13 miles from my front door, and it would take me two and a half to three hours every day to get to work. Now everybody would say, well, just do public transportation. Why are you gonna sit in traffic and waste all that gas and those because it takes the same amount of time by public transportation that it does to sit in my car and do it. And at least in my car, I can drink my coffee. I can have something to eat. I can listen to the radio. I can listen to some news. I can get up to date, you know, of course, the up to date traffic information that is just it's like, why bother even listening to it? Because it just just it's it's always traffic. It never fails. It never ends.
So you get tired of explaining it after a while and you just don't. You know, you you your basic answer is just move there, live there for a little while, and then you'll understand just how miserable it is. You got cameras on every street corner, high cost of living, high rent, high taxes. You get taxed unbelievably in New York. You get taxed city tax, state tax, federal tax, and all the other, withholdings that come out of your check. You know, I made a pretty decent salary by most standards, but you know something? When you when you factor in all of the taxes, fees, tolls, all the other stuff that comes with living in New York City, you get, whatever you make on paper is just exactly that is on paper.
So you might make a hundred and $20,000 a year, but on that's on paper. In reality, you're making, like, 50 after all of the expenses. So it's not so it's not that great. That's why I called assess pool and, I kinda got off at a little rabbit trail there already, so that's not a good sign for the rest of the night. But, we, but, but, yeah, the, the Southern District New York is, basically hiding and withholding information from the attorney general's office, regarding the, the, the Epstein files. And, you know, I like Pam Bondi, but I think she kinda got I think she made a mistake with this Epstein files phase one binder thing that they gave out. I I I don't think that was a good idea. I think that just, it just to me, it just it indicates to me that that is a very good possibility. Maybe she's in a little bit over her head.
And like I said, I I look. I I'm a fan of the administration. I I I am a fan of Donald Trump, and I think he's doing a great job, and, this is exactly what what what the country needs. This is what I I I voted for. I think Pam Bondi is a is is great. I think she's very talented, but I don't know if she's prepared for this. That's just my opinion. You know? But let me know what you think. I'm curious about that. You can drop a comment here in the live chat or you can drop a comment down below. Also, email me at [email protected]. That's [email protected].
Now, kinda got off a little bit of a a a quick start there, but we're gonna just take a minute here, go back, and just, take care of a couple of quick little housekeeping things like we usually do. This way we could, you know, kinda get this stuff out of the way and get some folks to, hopefully donate and, visit our our affiliate shop and, tell you about a couple other things. Alright. So, before we get into the rest of the show here, I'm gonna ask you to head over to our website, joerussello.com. That's joerussello.com.

Let us know whatever's on your heart, whatever's on your mind, any questions, comments, cares, concerns that you might have. And, also, you know, give us some some ideas. What would you like to talk about? What would you like to hear about? And I know I'm I know I'm talking funny because I I bit the inside of my mouth, my cheek earlier today, and now it's all swollen in there. So I keep on biting it, and it it hurts like hell. So, and actually, it actually happened yesterday, and I just aggravated it all day today. So, I'm sorry about that. But, but, if you don't want to use the web form, that's fine. Always email me directly at [email protected].
That's [email protected]. Also, while you're on the website, if you would, please look for that support button and remember that this is a value for value podcast, and that all that basically means is that if you find any value whatsoever in what we're doing here, all we're asking is that you return that value in the form of a donation. Now you can do a one time donation in any amount, and we really appreciate those. Those are great. You could also donate your time, your talent, or your treasure.

Maybe you're maybe you're, maybe you're good with a mixer, maybe you're good on a website, maybe you could do website design, maybe, you could, help us write out, show notes, you know, just take care of some of the some of the technical stuff for us, maybe you have a talent for that. You could donate that. And, of course, you could donate your treasure, and like I said, that's a one time donation, or you could join one of our monthly recurring donation clubs. For example, we have for $17.76 a month, you can get the associate producer's credit.
And, basically, what that means is you make this monthly recurring donation of $17.76. And what we do is we include your name in all of our show notes, all of the emails that go out, and we give you a shout out during the show, for for your contribution, for your donation. Also, we have for $18.36 a month, we have the producer's credit. Same thing, just as the producer of the show because you're donating more. And then we have our executive producer club. The executive executive producer club is 25 or more every month, and, with that, of course, you get all the perks of the, associate producer and producer.
But we're we've been kicking around since, one of our executive producers was visiting with us last week. We kinda had the idea that maybe I forgot to put my phone on vibrate there. Sorry about that. We were thinking that maybe, since he was here and he jumped on the show with us, that we could open up that opportunity to other executive producers. So, if you're interested, just click on that link that says support and, make that donation for $25 a month or more and, get that executive producer title. Alright. Fantastic.

Now, as you know, we have, now started streaming on Rumble live exclusively. We are we have tried to do, YouTube, but YouTube keeps rejecting our connection, through the Rumble platform. So you know what? Fuck them. We're not gonna bother. We'll we'll we we only have one video posted up there, and it took me three hours to get it up because the, network and YouTube's ridiculous process of the whole thing. So, yeah. So fuck them. We're we're we're not gonna bother. We're just gonna shut it down.
Wasting my time. I I wasn't gonna put the whole show over there anyway. I was only gonna put, like, maybe fifteen minutes of it and then direct everybody over here to Rumble, but that's fine. I I we don't need YouTube. We got Rumble. I got the best audience possible. Even though I don't don't have very many of you watching tonight, but I do get the downloads later on, so I do appreciate that. So, we're excited for it. So, so I was gonna tell you about about YouTube, but forget them. Screw them. We're not gonna bother. But with Rumble, we first started doing Rumble with just the audio. We got some good reactions, and good downloads from that. And, now that we have redesigned our studio, made it more for video type podcast, we, we started doing the video shows, and the they're I I I hate video. I I really don't like it, because I feel like I'm very awkward on it.
I I can do things, I could I could do do things, make facial expressions and all that stuff, you know, on on on a non video stream that you guys don't see, so I can get away with those those those things. But, alright. So let's see. Alright. So our guest is here, and so we're gonna take a break, and I'm gonna go get him. And when I come back from this break, we'll get into our conversation with our guest. Alright, folks. So this is the podcast. Don't forget to like, subscribe, and share it with your friends, your family, and your followers, and we'll be back in just a few minutes. Stay with us. Alright.
Kinda felt like we're in Mr. Rogers' neighborhood there for a minute. That was quick though. You know what? I think I actually probably played the wrong track, because I selected a nine minute track. This way I can get him all set up, but we were able to get it done pretty quick, and we'll get we'll get to our guest here in just a minute. Let me finish telling you about our new Rumble channel. Alright. So, like I said, we started uploading the show to Rumble, and, we tried doing the YouTube, but for some reason YouTube YouTube keeps rejecting our live connection. So like I said, screw them. We're not gonna bother.
I'll close the account, and we'll just stick with Rumble. I love being on Rumble. And in full disclosure, with Rumble, I am a shareholder in Rumble. So, I have a vested interest in Rumble's success as well as my own here with the show. So, what I need you to do though is I need you to head over to Rumble, rumble.com/ruse. This is for the folks that are listening on the audio channels. Head over to rumble.com/ruse, and, just click that follow button. Make sure you like the videos. Make sure you share them with your friends, your family, your followers. Help us spread the word about what we're doing here. Opening opening an account is absolutely free. Doesn't cost you a thing, but the only drawback to that is is that there are mid roll ads that will come through from time to time. I have no control over that. They just Rumble just inserts them just like YouTube does wherever they feel like doing it. So, if you want the ad free experience, you can sign up for Rumble premium, which is, you know, you can get for as little as $10 a month. Now there are some creators that have, other packages and plans that they do and but we're not gonna do that. We're we I believe that, you know, what we're doing here should be free. We totally rely and depend upon the donations of our of our audience, our listeners, our friends.
So, we're not gonna we're not gonna go behind a paywall. We're not gonna charge you for this stuff. All we're doing is asking for a donation. But you can get Rumble premium for as little as $10 a month, which will at least eliminate a lot of that, those, those ads that you see. And if you want the added premium packages that other content creators have, which I don't know why you would go to anybody else but here, you can do that if you like. Alright? Alright. So, again, rumble.com/joe. Like, subscribe, share it with your friends, your family, and your followers.

He had been here in the studio when we were just doing the audio, and I don't even think we're doing it live yet. I think we're just doing, I think we're just doing the, the just the audio feed, and we were recording it. So, but sitting across me right now is Aaron Valdez, who is the candidate or one of the candidates for mayor for the city of Eagle Pass. There he is. He got it. He found the button.

It was great to meet you, and, you know, I'm really excited about your candidacy and, your campaign. I've been following you on all your socials, your Facebook, your Instagram, and, I'm really liking what I'm seeing out there. And, it is again, it's just great to have you.

[00:31:27] Unknown:
And how's the campaign going?
[00:31:30] Unknown:
Pretty good. Pretty good. I feel like it's it's it's good in the sense that, we have to get our message across. We have to reach these voters in Eagle Pass. And, I've I've I've been in the industry of sales, for a long period of my time, and door knocking is key. So, I enjoy the the sunlight, enjoy working out, and and being able to have that face to face contact with with everyone.
[00:32:00] Unknown:
Well that's great, man. Like I said, I've been following the campaign since the last time we met, and, and I'm I've been really impressed with, with just how how how how tightened up your your message is becoming. Okay. And it is fantastic. I really I really do I really do enjoy what I'm seeing. And, just in in full disclosure by the way, I did send invitations out to, to, your, opponents. Okay. And, so far I've gotten no response from one. Okay. And I've got a standard response from the other. Somebody from our campaign will be in touch with you, and not a word. So I really do appreciate that you take the time out of your campaigning, out of your family time, to to chat with us and, and to be here tonight. And I know it's been a busy week for you. I've seen you all over the place, and and now this event at the lake. So what was this event at the lake?
[00:32:52] Unknown:
Oh, it's it's creating awareness, for heart disease, and, I I believe it's it it really touches, home or I would say, well, being involved in the Maverick County Hospital District, any any event to create awareness, and it's crucial to to be involved involved in. So, I mean, it's it's it hits home
[00:33:24] Unknown:
being part of the of Maverick County Hospital District. Well and I was gonna say that you are a you are a member of the board. Correct? I am the chairman of the board. Oh, excuse me.
[00:33:35] Unknown:
So six years in Maverick County Hospital District for those as a chairman, and I I do wanna emphasize that we've lowered taxes 19%.
[00:33:44] Unknown:
Oh, that's great.
[00:33:46] Unknown:
But at the same time at the same time, maintain the same,
[00:33:49] Unknown:
quality of services so people don't have to travel to San Antonio and and Laredo to be taken care of. Yeah. That's something that, because, you know, I I I work my, my regular job in a in a nursing home, and, a a lot of a lot of the patients from time to time that we have to transfer to San Antonio I mean, I'm sorry, to, the local hospital, Fort Duncan, oftentimes, they have to be transported again from the hospital here to either Uvalde, which is about forty five minutes or so, an hour away, and sometimes as far as San Antonio, which is two hours, two and a half hours depending on where they go. So it was so it's it's it's difficult, and especially for the family members that that we come across, but, but expanding what the hospital district here offers is is really, really important. Now how how much control over that does the mayor's office have?
[00:34:45] Unknown:
Not much. I mean, that's what the Mavic County Hospital District does. Okay. I mean, that that that's independent from the city. Okay. But, yeah. I mean, that's more of a Mavic County Hospital District. Issue. Job. Okay. Issue.
[00:35:07] Unknown:
Awesome. Awesome. And, so the last time we were together, you know, we were kind of fleshing out a lot of the ideas that you were coming up that you were trying to bring forward in your campaign, and and one of the things that really struck with me is of course, you know, safety and my background in law enforcement, you know, it's always something that that I'm interested in. And now with the with the new administration here, and finally at in the White House, and we have some measure of sanity, restored here. I know that I've seen a sharp decrease in, in, in, migrant activity coming through this coming through the city, and I think that's great, and, you know you know you know, my my my I tip my hat to the to the border patrol and customs, and and also to, DPS, and and if and, you know, a lot of the unsung heroes are the local police and sheriff's department and constables, and, you you know, because they they dealt with it also. Maybe not to the extreme extreme of the, border patrol or DPS. But pretty involved. Yes. And there's there's Charlie howling in the background there. So if you heard some kind of unearthly sound, he He's looking for some attention tonight.
But, but going forward now, now that this new administration is in place, I'm I'm pretty sure that there were that we're gonna continue working with the federal government to secure the border to keep the border secure, and make sure that these illegal crossings are decreasing, even more so than what they already have. I think I I read something a couple of days ago where it was 94%. Let me let me go check on hold one second, because that's not normal. Alright. So we have to let them in for a minute, and they'll they'll calm down shortly.
And I'm sorry about that, Aaron. Oh, no. It's fine. It's fine. This is not something that they normally do. So, the whole time we had we had Wayne here, they stayed out there, they were super quiet, you know. When George was here, they stayed out there, they were super quiet. The first time you were here, they were out there super quiet, but they are just,
[00:37:20] Unknown:
Yeah. It's it's fired by our our snouzers, they smell.
[00:37:24] Unknown:
It's probably yeah. And also, whatever's you brought in from the lake. That's all. Yeah. For sure. So, so what direction are we going with the campaign right now? How are we looking? How are we trending? How how are things moving along? I mean, I I really I'm getting a great response from the community, to be honest. I mean, they're really reaching out,
[00:37:42] Unknown:
through social media and just really wanting to be involved. And we're still wanting everyone within the community to also, get involved and volunteer. I mean, it's it's to try to spread the message, create awareness. And, Joe, like, honestly, out of 50,000 residents in Eagle Pass, we get 4,000 voters
[00:38:06] Unknown:
for Really? That's it. For for, mayoral election.
[00:38:10] Unknown:
Really? Well, I've I've I've probably saved between 10,000.
[00:38:14] Unknown:
Out of 50,000?
[00:38:17] Unknown:
That's insane. Let's hope we get a good turnout for for for this coming one. But that's insane.
[00:38:23] Unknown:
I mean, you know, one of the things that that like, okay. How how do I how do I phrase this? Personally speaking, I think local politics, local government, is so much more important than the federal government. You know, you would think that more people would be involved in what's happening here locally. I mean, this is this what happens here directly affects you. I agree. You know, and I don't understand how people don't vote. I I I don't get it.
[00:39:02] Unknown:
So we're we're hoping that since they were pretty involved in general elections, they that there's still they still have that spike in in them to go out and vote for this, local election.
[00:39:14] Unknown:
Wow. That's and and the the, the election starts March. Right? The early voting? April 22. April '20 second. Okay. I don't know why I had March something in my head. But April 22 to May. April '20 second. Alright, folks. So if you're listening, if you're here at Eagle Pass listening in, get out and vote. Please vote. You know, my look. Look, I'm this is a non PC show. I'm gonna say what I have to say. Okay? If you don't vote, then you have to keep your mouth shut. Alright? You have nothing to complain about. You have nothing to say. You have no criticisms you can make. If you are not gonna be taking part in the in the electoral process, shut your mouth.
Alright? Because if if you don't get a guy like Aaron into office who is who is is rock solid on his positions, intelligent, can speak, for crying out loud, can speak. Alright. I've heard one of your opponents give an off the cuff interview on a Facebook page one day, and oh my god. Okay. If it's not scripted it's like it's like you're talking to Kamala Harris. It's like it's it's the word salad, and it's just I don't know, but folks if you gotta get out and vote man, this is your local elections are the most important elections. Now I feel you, Joe. That's what it that's what affects you every single day of your life.
Not what goes on with the federal government. I mean, that's that's important, yeah, for international stuff and for, you know, but but when it comes to your everyday life, your school districts, your your your your health care, your your your local streets and and and public safety, it starts right here where you live. You have to get involved, so please get involved. Don't sit back.

[00:42:30] Unknown:

[00:42:42] Unknown:
vote. That's right. I mean, that's that's the main thing. You gotta get out and vote people. I mean, the local elections are key. Just local, you know, right here at home and your state elections, you know. And speaking of the state, man, have you been following what's going on with the state?
[00:42:59] Unknown:
Somewhat. Yeah.
[00:43:01] Unknown:
We got some issues there, don't we? We do. I mean,
[00:43:05] Unknown:
I I I try to make sure that this is a a local election and and but I I we have to maintain a continuous communication with with our state and and federal, but, that's as as much as we could do here locally is open door policy and make sure whichever platform they want us to follow, I mean, we we we align with. Yeah.
[00:43:32] Unknown:
The, I I was I follow a guy on, on x. His name is, Brian Harrison. Okay. He's the rep for Hidalgo, I think I think it is, and, he posts a scorecard Okay. Just about every day, you know, how many how many how many bills were read, how many bills were adopted, and it's always zero zero zero zero zero, and then they vote themselves a four day weekend, and the only thing that the, that that the state house has voted on I'm talking about, like, the lower house, not the Senate. K. The senate actually has been doing more work than than than the lower house has, and the only thing they voted on, since they really got in there was, some resolution about Beyonce.
So the, you know, it's it's very interesting to say the least. But, I know I know that, you know, the even when you go down to the to to even closer to home, you know, there's a lot of stuff that goes on that that, probably shouldn't be going on. And, as the mayor coming in, what do you think about setting up like a Doge style organization to come on in and clean house?
[00:44:55] Unknown:
Well, I I if you Did I put you on the spot? Sorry. Somewhat. But if if if you really go to our office at El Indio, by El Indio, you'll see where we really stand on that type of management, and we need to be efficient. And like I mentioned, we've been in the hospital district. I've been chairman for four years, and we've lowered taxes 19%. And if you really looked at at local politics, I mean, they tend to really attack, current administration on how they manage your budget. They're not gonna talk about the hospital district because we're we're it's being well managed. Yeah.
[00:45:42] Unknown:
So you're gonna bring that into the city? Yes sir. Alright. Alright that's good to know, that's good to know. I'm gonna be watching brother. Yes. I'm gonna be watching, I'm gonna call you out. Please do it, please do. No, of course, we're gonna work together on stuff, I'm sure. So I'm gonna say something that I kind of alluded to a couple of nights ago on the show, and it has to do with you. I know politically, if you will go by party affiliation, we're we're we don't exactly line up in the in the right in the same spot. Okay? Okay. I don't generally give an endorsement of a candidate, but with you sitting here across the way from me, I am officially going to give my endorsement for Aaron Valdez for mayor for the city of Eagle Pass.
And, it would probably it'll probably be the first time in my life that I am voting outside of party. So, you've impressed me. You really have.

And and I I I actually had a couple of meetings today, and it's it's about letting the the the public know, like, invest in, like, getting to know your candidates. I mean, I'm not I'm not I'm not gonna ask people to to I'm not gonna ask people for their vote until they do their research on those other candidates that are running and then make the decision.
[00:48:17] Unknown:

But for the folks that are listening on the modern podcast apps, thank you so much for streaming your SATs to us. Now if you don't know what a SAT is, SAT is is a Satoshi, which is basically a micropayment of Bitcoin.
You can do that through the modern podcast apps like fountain.fm or truefans.fm, podcast guru. You can send boosts. You can send boostograms. You can send all that information through, on any of those apps. You can also head over to modernpodcastapps.com or podcastindex.org, if you'd like to get yourself one of those apps. They are great. I love using Podcast Guru. It's just never had a problem with it since I've been using it, so definitely wanna check it out. Now, normally, we would have a a brief moment here where we talk about Texas and the Texas Nationalist Movement, but, just the timing on the wall here doesn't let us do that. So, if you do still wanna get involved with shaping the future of a free and independent Texas, head over to our website, jorociello.com/tandm, scan the QR code, or, click the link that's on the page, and register your support, become a member, make a donation, whatever you can do to get involved with establishing a free and independent Texas.
It's not often in anyone's lifetime that they can take in they they could take part in the formation of their own nation, and that's what we're looking to do with the Texas Nationals movement through the legislative process, through public opinion, not through any other means. So check them out at tandm.org. I'm sorry. No. Tandm.me or textitnow.org or on our website, jorocello.com/tandm. Also, contact form. Don't forget.
