Two out of the three Republicans who have announced their intention to run for U.S. president are Indian-Americans

Two out of the three Republicans who have announced their intention to enter the race to become U.S. president are Indian-Americans.

The latest to throw his hat in the ring, Vivek Ramaswamy, is a multimillionaire entrepreneur and author of the book “Woke, Inc”.

The 37-year-old was born in Ohio and studied at Harvard and Yale before earning his fortune.

But what are his chances of securing the Republican nomination?

Announcing his bid on February 21, he wants to launch a “cultural movement to create a new American dream” based on the “pursuit of excellence”.

He says “diversity is meaningless if there’s nothing greater that binds” people.

Vocal about his disdain for the corporate world’s so-called “wokeism” on racism and climate, Ramaswamy believes this hurts both businesses and the country.

He’s particularly opposed to environment, social and corporate governance initiatives, wants further action in higher education and a reduction of America’s dependence on China.

But, while Ramaswamy’s views have resonated with some, there are Indian-Americans who don’t agree with his politics and others who feel his campaign lacks depth.

He also lacks star status and is relatively unknown across the nation.

So it’s a tough battle ahead for Ramaswamy if he wants a shot at the White House. #trending #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.
