President Joe Biden expressed his frustration with the Republican Party, accusing them of playing politics and endangering the country’s financial stability with threats of a government shutdown.

“I’m sick and tired of this political brinkmanship,” Biden declared, as he urged Congress to pass a separate funding bill to support Ukraine.

The President argued that the ongoing dispute over government funding should not be tied to crucial aid for Ukraine, a country facing ongoing conflict and in desperate need of international support. Biden’s call for a standalone Ukraine funding bill received mixed reactions from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle.

Republicans countered by highlighting concerns about the national debt and government spending. They argued that bundling Ukraine aid with the budget would ensure responsible fiscal management.

The deadlock in Congress continues, with the threat of a government shutdown looming as negotiations stall. As the political drama unfolds, the fate of Ukraine’s much-needed assistance hangs in the balance. #featured

Australia’s multimillion-dollar campaign to attract Hollywood productions to its shores appears to be paying off.

The allure of Australia lies not only in its picturesque locations but also in its competitive financial incentives.

The government offers generous rebates and tax breaks to international productions, making it an attractive proposition for filmmakers looking to maximise their budgets.

Despite the recent intake of Hollywood productions down under such as ‘The Fall Guy’ and ‘Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga’, Aussie independents are still finding the space to carve their own creative path.

Rob Fantozzi joined the program to discuss the latest in Hollywood, and showcased his own upcoming project – ‘Omerta‘. #featured

American home prices are rising at faster pace now than in the last 20-years.

A recent analysis reveals a jaw dropping surge in the cost of American homes.

Since the start of 2020, U.S. home prices have surged 47% easily outstripping the gains seen in recent decades.

On top of that, home price growth so far this decade is on the verge of surpassing all the growth seen in the 2000s.

Many experts believe this decade’s housing market frenzy was ignited by a perfect storm — the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic triggering an unprecedented rush among buyers.

Tom Hutchens, the Executive Vice President of Production at Angel Oak Mortgage Solutions joins Veronica Dudo to discuss.
