Summary

President-elect Donald Trump nominated Robert F. Kennedy Jr. to lead the Department of Health and Human Services, however some lawmakers are concerned about his stances on various health issues such as abortion, vaccines, and food dye. RFK Jr. kicked off a week-long visit to Capitol Hill on Monday, where he will meet with Republican senators, hoping to be confirmed into the President-elect's cabinet. FOX News Senior National Correspondent Aishah Hasnie joins to break down RFK's recent controversy surrounding the polio vaccine and why it may be a long confirmation process. The Trump campaign made big promises on the trail about bringing jobs back to the United States, and now some plans are unfolding as Trump draws in investments from various companies. Softbank CEO Masayoshi Son announced a $100 billion investment in the United States as the President-elect remains hopeful that tax cuts and tariffs will bring down inflation and bring jobs back. FOX Business White House Correspondent Edward Lawrence joins the Rundown to discuss what the Softbank investment means for Americans, the President-elect's plans to bring down inflation, and why big tech CEOs are flocking to meet with the next resident of the Oval Office. Plus, commentary from Ramsey Solutions financial expert and host of "The Rachel Cruze Show," Rachel Cruze. Photo Credit: AP Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
