The Jesse Rucinski Show

The Jesse Rucinski Show is the show where bluntness kicks in and your feelings don't matter. We're based in facts, and the statistics and feelings don't change that fact. It is what it is and that's just what it is. To quote Master Guns Frye, "It is what it is" so deal with it.

It has been a crazy year. Hell, it's been a crazy couple of years. Mental fatigue is a crazy thing. I know that many people have a harder time during the holidays because I happen to be one of them. Today, I give my call for unity and how to get everyone at least together in the country. In as many little steps as it takes to get us there because we desperately need it as a country.

The price of gas and energy intertwine into the price of everything in our lives. No matter what we're talking about, energy plays a role in its price. Recent travels for Thanksgiving helped to prove that more than ever for me. I discuss all of it today.

I like everyone else, have had to listen and read so much shit recently about the Jeffrey Epstein files. So many people keep just not caring about anything but getting one person and we know who that is. I am fucking tired of it. I truly unload on so much of what I have seen, heard, and actually had dialogue with people about. This episode has an old school feel IMO and I bring the aggression. Be warned.

They keep playing checkers while he's playing chess. Look at their reactions when he went and signed the bill to have them released. I have my opinions on all of that come from a place of reality. Which I might add is something that is drastically needed back within America.

There is definitely a lot wrong with politics within the United States. A lot of it has happened roughly in the last decade or so though in my opinion that got us this divided so badly. It started with Obama being pushed so badly and if we didn’t agree that’s when everything became racist. We are where we are today thanks to propaganda and division being pushed. I explain it all today.

Today's episode delves into the straight shit I heard spewed from the mouth of the head of the Oregon National Guard. When the Guard is federalized, they take orders from the Commander in Chief and there isn't an "I Don't Like Him" clause with those orders. This stand could even ruin the lives of those he's in command of. I explain today.

There have been many things that we have all seen in America since we lost Charlie Kirk. Many of which have not been good and are engrained into many of us. There are many other things that have been burned into many since that event. For the better at that. We have seen an uprising for God and open conservatism in the United States. I discuss my thoughts on them today.

It is another dark day in the history of America with the assassination of Charlie Kirk. A husband, father of two, and man who would openly debate with the opposing side of the spectrum, assassinated in Utah for his beliefs. This shit right here isn't America. Not one iota. Sorry for the profanity, but I give my honest take on everything and try to do right by the man and what he did and died for. People suck.

The alleged "War on Drugs" has been a waste of time and money since its inception. The numbers only grew through the entire 5 decades and over 1 trillion dollars we have spent. It never did a thing to actually help to stop the problem. Now, Trump has made an actual action to try to actually wage a war on drugs. I have the sad numbers to prove its ineffectiveness and my darling insight into it today.

I have said it before, and I will continue to say it time and time again. We do not have a gun problem in the United States and the number of guns compared to events speaks for itself.

Many of which in the last several years we never heard a word about. I give you those numbers to...

    The Burden

    The Burden is a documentary series that takes listeners into the hidden places where justice is done (and undone). It dives deep into the lives of heroes and villains. And it focuses a spotlight on those who triumph even when the odds are against them. Season 5 - The Burden: Death & Deceit in Alliance On April Fools Day 1999, 26-year-old Yvonne Layne was found murdered in her Alliance, Ohio home. David Thorne, her ex-boyfriend and father of one of her children, was instantly a suspect. Another young man admitted to the murder, and David breathed a sigh of relief, until the confessed murderer fingered David; “He paid me to do it.” David was sentenced to life without parole. Two decades later, Pulitzer winner and podcast host, Maggie Freleng (Bone Valley Season 3: Graves County, Wrongful Conviction, Suave) launched a “live” investigation into David's conviction alongside Jason Baldwin (himself wrongfully convicted as a member of the West Memphis Three). Maggie had come to believe that the entire investigation of David was botched by the tiny local police department, or worse, covered up the real killer. Was Maggie correct? Was David’s claim of innocence credible? In Death and Deceit in Alliance, Maggie recounts the case that launched her career, and ultimately, “broke” her.” The results will shock the listener and reduce Maggie to tears and self-doubt. This is not your typical wrongful conviction story. In fact, it turns the genre on its head. It asks the question: What if our champions are foolish? Season 4 - The Burden: Get the Money and Run “Trying to murder my father, this was the thing that put me on the path.” That’s Joe Loya and that path was bank robbery. Bank, bank, bank, bank, bank. In season 4 of The Burden: Get the Money and Run, we hear from Joe who was once the most prolific bank robber in Southern California, and beyond. He used disguises, body doubles, proxies. He leaped over counters, grabbed the money and ran. Even as the FBI was closing in. It was a showdown between a daring bank robber, and a patient FBI agent. Joe was no ordinary bank robber. He was bright, articulate, charismatic, and driven by a dark rage that he summoned up at will. In seven episodes, Joe tells all: the what, the how… and the why. Including why he tried to murder his father. Season 3 - The Burden: Avenger Miriam Lewin is one of Argentina’s leading journalists today. At 19 years old, she was kidnapped off the streets of Buenos Aires for her political activism and thrown into a concentration camp. Thousands of her fellow inmates were executed, tossed alive from a cargo plane into the ocean. Miriam, along with a handful of others, will survive the camp. Then as a journalist, she will wage a decades long campaign to bring her tormentors to justice. Avenger is about one woman’s triumphant battle against unbelievable odds to survive torture, claim justice for the crimes done against her and others like her, and change the future of her country. Season 2 - The Burden: Empire on Blood Empire on Blood is set in the Bronx, NY, in the early 90s, when two young drug dealers ruled an intersection known as “The Corner on Blood.” The boss, Calvin Buari, lived large. He and a protege swore they would build an empire on blood. Then the relationship frayed and the protege accused Calvin of a double homicide which he claimed he didn’t do. But did he? Award-winning journalist Steve Fishman spent seven years to answer that question. This is the story of one man’s last chance to overturn his life sentence. He may prevail, but someone’s gotta pay. The Burden: Empire on Blood is the director’s cut of the true crime classic which reached #1 on the charts when it was first released half a dozen years ago. Season 1 - The Burden In the 1990s, Detective Louis N. Scarcella was legendary. In a city overrun by violent crime, he cracked the toughest cases and put away the worst criminals. “The Hulk” was his nickname. Then the story changed. Scarcella ran into a group of convicted murderers who all say they are innocent. They turned themselves into jailhouse-lawyers and in prison founded a lway firm. When they realized Scarcella helped put many of them away, they set their sights on taking him down. And with the help of a NY Times reporter they have a chance. For years, Scarcella insisted he did nothing wrong. But that’s all he’d say. Until we tracked Scarcella to a sauna in a Russian bathhouse, where he started to talk..and talk and talk. “The guilty have gone free,” he whispered. And then agreed to take us into the belly of the beast. Welcome to The Burden.
