This episode of Military Resource Radio is absolutely fantastic and is not to be missed!

Rear Admiral Ronny Jackson, physician to Presidents George W. Bush, Obama and Trump, withdrew from his nomination as Secretary of Veterans Affairs early Thursday morning. Lawmakers, experts and the media criticized Admiral Jackson’s nomination from the start because of his lack of administrative experience. He faced further scrutiny this week after members of the White House medical staff raised allegations of “over-excessive” drinking while on the job, over-prescribing medication and creating a hostile work environment. This is the eighth nominee for VA Secretary since 9/11. Why does the VA never seem to get a win? Paul Rieckhoff, founder and CEO of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, gives a veteran's perspective on Admiral Jackson’s decision and the VA’s track record in the 21st century. Disgraced comedian Bill Cosby was found guilty of three counts of indecent assault by a Pennsylvania jury today. Mr. Cosby's assaults spanned decades and there were dozens of allegations against him. Washington Post features writer Manuel Roig-Franzia, joined Rick and guest co-host Matt Mackowiak to talk about the trial and verdict.

Today is the special election for AZ-8. Republicans will likely win the district, but still come out as losers. President George H.W. Bush is in the office, just a few days after his wife's funeral and we wish him a speedy recovery. Trump claims that he's never spent a night in Russia, but new information says differently. Michael Cohen hasn't been convicted of anything yet, but the White House might already be planning to pardon him. Trump went on another tweet storm over the weekend and it was as ridiculous as usual. Rear Admiral Ronny Jackson's nomination to run Veterans Affairs might be in trouble & Trump isn't exactly helping him. Finally, Sean Hannity has another shady business deal. The hits just keep on coming.

President Trump dismissed Secretary of Veterans Affairs David Shulkin this evening with a tweet. The president also tweeted his preferred replacement for Dr. Shulkin in the same series of tweets. Robert Wilkie, assistant secretary of defense for legislative affairs, will serve as acting director and Rear Admiral Ronny Jackson, the physician to Presidents Bush, Obama and Trump, will be the president's nominee to become the next VA Secretary. This shake-up at the VA comes amidst fierce internal debate over questions of privatization and outrage over wasteful spending. Former VA Secretary Anthony Principi, who served under President George W. Bush, reacts to Shuklin's ouster and shares his thoughts on what the VA needs to get back on course. Stephon Clark, a 23-year-old father of two from Sacramento, California, was shot 20 times by two police officers in his grandparents' backyard earlier this month. Michael and Rick discuss how we can address the root of these shootings in a more holistic way.

Let the Sunshine In. We celebrate the arrival of sunlight into the formerly shadowy corners of American political life. Rep. Matt Gaetz describes the Mueller Investigation as "a lie built on a foundation of corruption." Dr. Sebastian Gorka says the Schumer Shutdown is a case of Democrats prioritizing "illegal immigrants" over Americans. OMB Director Mick Mulvaney says Sen. Schumer needs to "up his game." We review Trump's new advertisement for "The Wall" and first-year anniversary as President. CNN's panel of Democrats in Ohio say Trump's first year has been "fantastic." We mark the fifth anniversary of DNI James Clapper's perjury. Meanwhile, rather than apologize for his false accusations against Trump's mental acuity, MSNBC's Joe Scarborough goes full anti-science and attacks Trump's doctor -- Rear Admiral Ronny Jackson -- as a "political hack." Professor Niall Ferguson advises MSNBC's Stephanie Ruhle to "chill." Flake Summons Stalin. Musical Tributes to the departed Dolores O'Riordan of the Cranberries, and Johnny Hallyday of France.

The numbers don't lie, unless they do. After much resistance and under increasing pressure, President Trump's White House this week allowed Rear Admiral Ronny Jackson, the White House doctor, to release results from a physical examination. How'd Trump do? Well, that's tricky to answer.
