Summary

This week, Fox News Rundown host spoke with former Indiana Governor Mitch Daniels about President-elect Trump's Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE, a cost-cutting advisory panel led by tech billionaire Elon Musk and former pharmaceutical executive and presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy. Daniel has plenty of experience implementing and studying government budgets, having worked in the Reagan White House, as President George W. Bush's White House budget director, and as president of Purdue University. He's also been co-chair of the non-profit Committee for a Responsible Federal Budget for the last ten years. Daniels discussed the waste he witnessed while in government and some costly departments and services that could be cut from the government – without little impact on the American people. He also discussed the political challenges of making political reforms to popular programs, but why not addressing America’s growing national deficit could have serious economic and security implications. We often must cut interviews short during the week, but you might like to hear the full interview. Today on Fox News Rundown Extra, we will share our entire interview with former Indiana Governor Mitchell Daniels and learn more about government waste and how he thinks DOGE can tackle it.
