Monday, January 27, 2025 - Two-party pardon rebukes + home insurance reacts to climate change
from The Ron Show · host Ron Roberts
The avalanche of Trump-related egregious acts are seemingy too numerous to keep tabs on, but there seems to be bipartisan agreement on his pardoning J6ers ... that it was a bridge too far. Don't get it twisted - Republicans won't actually do anything about it, but they do seem to agree it sends an awful message. On Sunday's 'Meet The Press,' Senators Adam Schiff (D) and Lindsey Graham (R) vocalized that much. Even The Daily Show's Ronny Chieng noted not only the wrongess but that Donald Trump didn't even bother doing any due diligence on who he was pardoning or what they were charged with or guilty of. Then there's the not-so-subtle message he sent to former inner circle types - Dr. Anthony Fauci and John Bolton for example. Those two were among those Trump had security details pulled from. The message? "Anyone else sell me out and I'll leave you twisting in the breeze for MAGAs or Iran to take out." As a REALTOR, I get an email each day from Realtor.com with industry headlines and one story caught my eye: a collection of maps that show how climate change is affecting home insurance rates. Spoiler alert: the insurance industry believes climate change is real even if your drunk MAGA uncle doesn't. Oh, and while Trump is fixated on the wrong reasons to assess blame for California's wildfires, maybe he could save some (pardon the pun) smoke for Utah with two of the top ten counties with insurance rate spikes due to ... wildfires?
