On this episode of Jim Paris Live, Jim shares reflections from the Orlando holiday season and his 26-day break from law school, along with thoughts on the soaring cost of Florida tourism. Then Jim dives into a series of current-events controversies — including the heated reaction to Donald Trump’s remarks about Rob Reiner, the online conspiracy theories being discussed about Charlie Kirk, and the rumors circulating about Reiner’s death.

Jim also breaks down why mortgage rates remain stubborn despite Fed cuts, Florida’s sweeping new child-protection death-penalty law, major federal fraud headlines, and the reports of widespread social-service fraud in Minnesota. Plus — remote work trade-offs, people choosing to live on cruise ships, and whether the Chicago Bears can go the distance.
