Summary

As Democrats continue to squabble over President Biden's Build Back Better agenda and its final price tag, a former top White House economist has a warning for America. Former senior economic adviser to President Trump Kevin Hassett says the policies being pushed by Democrats are putting our country on a course to socialism. Earlier this week, host Dave Anthony spoke to Kevin Hassett about the current state of our economy and his concerns about the Biden agenda. Hassett, whose new book is The Drift: Stopping America's Slide to Socialism, also discussed his time in the White House, his experiences with former President Donald Trump and whether or not he thought Trump would run again in 2024. The original interview was too long and we couldn't include all of it in our segment. On The FOX News Rundown EXTRA, you will hear our entire conversation with Former senior economic adviser to President Trump Kevin Hassett. Learn more about your ad choices.
