Summary

A new pilot program in Arkansas seeks to break the cycle of poverty by shifting focus from government assistance to collaboration with non-profit, faith-based, and business partners to tackle welfare challenges. Arkansas Republican Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders joins the Rundown to discuss the initiative's goal of connecting those in need with diverse services and support, such as job training, housing, and healthcare. She explains how this approach could prevent individuals from becoming permanently reliant on government aid and potentially serve as a model for other states. The White House is striving to establish global dominance in the critical minerals sector, which is essential for powering our phones and producing our medicines. U.S. Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum joins the Rundown to discuss the significance of these minerals for national security, the economy, and technological advancement. He explores how shifting U.S. investments could lessen dependence on China for critical mineral supplies and addresses the environmental concerns involved in the Trump administration's push for increased domestic mineral production. Plus, commentary by a former investment banker and author of 'You Will Own Nothing,' Carol Roth. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
