Today On Deadline is looking at a question our grandparents probably wouldn’t have considered. In fact, it seems to fly in the face of the American Dream. Is it better to rent or to buy? Even though being a homeowner may be the goal for many because of the long-term financial stability, new reports have found that renting a home is far cheaper and that it may even more sense. 'On Deadline' is hosted and produced by Lauren Barry.

'To rent or to buy?': That's the question redefining the American dream

Today On Deadline is looking at the relationship between Israel and the United States, which some believe is fraying under the weight of opposition at home over the death of civilians as a result of the Israel-Hamas war. As Israel continues its effort to destroy Hamas in Gaza, criticism has started to grow from the U.S. about the death of women and children and other non-military personnel. That has led to a pause in munitions shipments from Israel’s staunchest ally. 'On Deadline' is hosted and produced by Lauren Barry. It's also produced by Joe Hiti, Christy Strawser.

Is the relationship between the US and Israel broken?

Today On Deadline is checking in with the ongoing trial of former President Donald Trump in New York City. While the first few weeks of the trial included jury selection, opening arguments, and numerous reprimands for violating a court imposed gag order, it also included lots of witness testimony.

Testimony, recordings, gag order, oh my! Another week of Trump's NY trial is on the books

Today, On Deadline is looking at the wound that’s been festering on the American economy for the last two years: Inflation. The Federal Reserve Bank that sets key interest rates has made it clear that until inflation hits its 2% target, rates will stay where they are – which is currently a 23-year-high. There was hope the tide could be changing in 2024. That’s because 2023’s 11 straight rate hikes were expected to bring inflation down and many were also expecting the Fed to start hitting the breaks on them. Now, it seems like that might have been wishful thinking. 'On Deadline' is hosted and produced by Lauren Barry. It's also produced by Joe Hiti, Christy Strawser. Sound design by Joe Hiti.

Where will inflation end? Experts wonder as dollars stretch even thinner

Today, On Deadline is looking at the New York State Court of Appeals and its ruling that Harvey Weinstein, the disgraced former media mogul, did not receive a fair trial in 2020. His landmark conviction was overturned. Many people were stunned when the case that launched the Me Too era was tossed out. How did it happen and why? Let’s dig in.
