Thursday, June 6, 2024 - FBI raid on an ATL office & its ties to your skyrocketing rent, explained
from The Ron Show · host Ron Roberts
Whelp; a three-judge Georgia appeals court panel has put the brakes on the Georgia v. Trump election interference case until October, essentially cementing that the most evidence-laden and damning case against the already-convicted felon won't be tried this calendar year. Sure it'd be easy to berate Fani Willis & Nathan Wade some more, but I've done that plenty. Instead, let's listen in on a local conservative talk show pundit as he celebrates a "win" ... the "law and order party" thrilled to sabotage the gears of justice to a halt. That's where we are with that cult. Jon Stewart on Monday's "The Daily Show" deftly points out how conservatives say one thing in public discourse and another in sworn testimony and how journalists are failing to hold their feet to the fire when they outright lie without proof to show otherwise. Case in point: Montana's GOP Senate nominee won't provide proof to back his claim he was shot in Afghanistan and not at a national park, as park officials assert. Someone hold him to account! I'm joined today by Judd Legum with Popular Info, who's written about the earliest piece I could find on a raid performed last week by the FBI here in Atlanta. The feds are looking into possible collusion by corporate landlords accused of falsely inflating rental prices in Atlanta and throughout the country, all for using a property management software called "RealPage." Judd and I discuss the potential for charges to be filed, class action suits and how such collusion can even affect people not renting from the alleged colluding landlord companies. Add to it that Atlanta leads the nation with the largest share of investor-owned single-family rental properties, and this area's being hammered by faceless corporate greed. Oh, he also penned a thorough SHREDDING of all the mundane right-wing talking points, howling indignation at the "bias" of the Manhattan trial where their convicted cult leader was found guilty. Lastly, new Quinnipiac poll numbers from Georgia are out, and Biden's making up ground; a little, anyway.
