A New Approach To Driving Down Drug Prices
The cost of healthcare is a concern nationwide, but Arkansas is trying to lead the way in bringing price relief to patients, particularly when it comes to prescription drugs. Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders recently signed a new law banning pharmacy benefits managers from owning and operating pharmacies in her state. PBMs are third-party companies that act as intermediaries or middlemen between insurance companies, big pharma, and pharmacies and are supposed to negotiate for lower costs through rebates and discounts. However, President Trump and his administration have recently called them out for helping to drive up the price of drugs in the country. Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders joins the Rundown to explain her state's efforts to get prices down and how she hopes other states and the federal government will follow Arkansas's lead. While the President's tariff strategy and efforts to reshape what he sees as an unfair trade system have created some uncertainty on both Wall Street and Main Street, the latest jobs data suggest the labor market is holding steady. Many investors took Friday's May jobs report as a sign that a recession isn't imminent. However, the housing market, inflation, interest rates, and other factors are still a concern. FOX Business Network's Gerri Willis joins the Rundown to discuss the state of the economy, including why she believes the housing market is under pressure but remains optimistic about the American consumer.

Business Rundown: Why Those Recession Fears May Be Overblown
May's jobs report exceeded expectations, with the economy adding 139,000 jobs, many of which were in the healthcare, leisure, and hospitality industries. While the White House and Wall Street were pleased with these numbers, data from last month showed signs of slowing job growth, possibly indicating that employers are still navigating uncertainties related to tariffs, tax policy, and other factors. Nancy Tengler, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Investment Officer of Laffer Tengler Investments, joins host Gerri Willis to dig deep into the numbers and explain why the report suggests a recession isn't happening any time soon. She does have some concerns about the direction of the economy. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit

Ideas from cuts to Medicaid to a millionaire's tax have been floated to make this budget reconciliation possible but sticking points from different coalitions of Republicans remain.
