President-elect Donald Trump has rolled out a Cabinet at a pace far more rapid than his first transition, filling positions that will help further his promise to voters. But some of those picks have raised eyebrows, like former Congressman Matt Gaetz for Attorney General and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for Secretary of Health & Human Services. Former Senior Advisor to President George W. Bush, Karl Rove describes what the early stages of the transition will tell us about the second Trump Administration.

It has been seventeen years since Senate Republicans have elected a new Leader. Senate Majority Whip John Thune (R-SD) will replace Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY), the longest-serving party Leader in Senate history. Thune defeated Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) and Senator Rick Scott (R-FL) in a closed-door election earlier this week. FOX News Senior Congressional Correspondent Chad Pergram discusses the new leadership and weighs in on the current state of the House of Representatives.

It was a busy week in politics as President-elect Donald Trump's transition team announced many of the names he hopes will fill critical roles on his team.

Trump also said he'd launch the Department of Government Efficiency, or DOGE. The commission, led by Tesla CEO Elon Musk and former GOP presidential candidate Vivek Ramaswamy, intends to cut government waste and make it work more effectively.

However, there is also big economic news, as the Consumer Price Index (CPI) report showed that inflation continues to tick up, prompting Federal Reserve Chair Jerome Powell to say they will be "cautious" with future rate cuts.

Kenny Polcari, Chief Market Strategist at Slatestone Wealth, joins FOX Business' Taylor Riggs to discuss what the Trump transition is signaling to Wall Street and whether the Fed's news is giving them reason for concern.
