DOCTOR RONNY JACKSON WANTS TO BE THE NEXT HEAD OF THE
DEPARTMENT OF VETERANS AFFAIRS BUT EVERY DAY THAT PASSES LATELY
IT SEEMS LIKE THAT IS LESS LIKELY TO ACTUALLY HAPPEN.
THIS
MORNING WE HAD SOME NEW ALLEGATIONS AGAINST RONNY
JACKSON AND THIS AFTERNOON WE HAVE EVEN NEWER NEW ALLEGATIONS
AGAINST HIM, SO WE WILL DIG INTO THOSE TODAY --
>>
>>ALTHOUGH THAT'S A LOT, YOU HAVE A COUPLE DOZEN PEOPLE
COMING OUT AGAINST YOU, AND IT GOES FURTHER THAN THAT --
>>
>>AND THAT FEMALE STAFFER SAID SHE FELT EXTREMELY UNCOMFORTABLE
DURING THAT SITUATION.
>>A COUPLE OF THINGS THERE.
ONE, YOU DO SOMEBODY A SOLID AND
GIVE THEM A PRESCRIPTION DRUG ON A PLANE AND THE NEXT THING YOU
KNOW THEY RAT YOU OUT.
ANYWAY --
>>[BUFFERING]
>>[LOST SOME
OF THE STREAM]
>>
>>LEADING MANY TO SAY THAT YOU
CAN SAY A LOT ABOUT DOCTOR RONNY
JACKSON BUT YOU CAN'T SAY HE DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO PARTY.
BUT
ANYWAY, THIS IS A LONG HISTORY OF APPARENT EXCESSIVE DRINKING
THAT THEY TALK ABOUT, THERE IS A DETAIL THAT I BELIEVE THE AIR
FORCE IS INVOLVED IN PROTECTION WHEN THEY TRAVEL THAT HE WOULD
ROUTINELY GET DRUNK WITH, AND THAT'S A PROBLEM WHEN YOU ARE
THE PRESIDENT'S PERSONAL PHYSICIAN.
YOU NEED TO BE SORT
OF TOGETHER IN CASE SOMETHING HAPPENS.
LET ALONE THE ETHICAL
PROBLEMS OF WRITING HIMSELF PRESCRIPTIONS, WHICH IN SOME
CASES IS ACCEPTABLE, BUT CERTAIN TYPES OF MEDICATION YOU CAN'T
SIMPLY WRITE PRESCRIPTIONS FOR YOURSELF.
>>I'M TRYING TO FIGURE OUT WHY I'M NOT 100% AGAINST DOCTOR
RONNY JACKSON.
LET'S FIGURE IT OUT TOGETHER.
FIRST OF ALL IF
YOU WATCHED ONE OF OUR POST-GAMES, THAT'S ONE OF THE
BENEFITS OF MEMBERSHIP, TYTNETWORK.COM/JOIN, YOU WOULD
HAVE GOTTEN THE LONGER VERSION OF THIS STORY BUT THE QUICK
VERSION IS HE WAS GOING TO STITCH UP BUSH'S LEG, BECAUSE HE
WAS BUSH AND OBAMA AND TRUMP'S DOCTOR, AND HE TOLD A STORY TO
BUSH TO REASSURE HIM THAT HE'S GOOD AT THIS ABOUT HOW HE HAD
RIPPED HIS OWN SCROTUM AND THEN STITCHED IT UP HIMSELF, WHICH IS
HIM THE NICKNAME FROM BUSH, "SCROTE."
PART OF IT IS I THINK
THAT SCROTE IS AN INTERESTING CHARACTER IN IT DEPENDS ON THE
DETAILS.
SO IF HE GOT SO WASTED AND HE TRASHED THE VEHICLE WHILE
IT WAS PARKED, YOU SHOULDN'T DO THAT BUT KIND OF A FUN STORY.
IF
HE GOT INSIDE AND DROVE, NO, THAT'S DUI, THAT'S CRAZY, YOU
CAN'T DO THAT.
SO IT KIND OF DEPENDS ON THE DETAILS HERE.
>>THAT WAS THE IMPRESSION I GOT BUT WE WILL FIND OUT MORE THIS
WEEK.
>>AND I GUESS ONE OF THE REASONS I'M NOT SUPER LIVID
ABOUT IT AS I AM ON OTHER ISSUES IS BECAUSE IT DOESN'T INVOLVE
CORRUPTION.
MOST OF THESE GUYS ARE ROBBING US BLIND.
THIS GUY
JUST SEEMS -- NOT JAYAR -- THIS GUY SEEMS TO JUST HAVE A
PROBLEM, RIGHT?
HE MIGHT HAVE A DRINKING PROBLEM.
LIKE, THEY GO
AWAY ON AN INTERNATIONAL TRIP AND HE GETS WASTED.
OKAY.
I
DON'T KNOW IF HE IS A CHRONIC PROBLEM IN WHICH CASE HE SHOULD
GET SOME HELP, OR IF HE'S JUST HAVING A GOOD TIME, AGAIN IT
DEPENDS.
BUT I KNOW, I KNOW, YOU CAN'T DO IT, YOU'RE THE
PHYSICIAN TO THE PRESIDENT, AS JOHN POINTED OUT.
THE REASON YOU
ARE ON THE TRIP IS IF THERE'S A MEDICAL EMERGENCY TO THE
PRESIDENT, NOT SO YOU CAN HAVE A GOOD TIME AND GET WASTED AT
OKTOBERFEST IN MUNICH.
>>YEAH.
YEAH, I THINK IT'S PARTLY THOSE THINGS.
I THINK
ALSO PARTLY I THINK YOU HAVE A BIT OF A SOFT SPOT FOR FRATISH
BEHAVIOR.
>>INTERESTING.
>>I THINK YOU LOOK BACK WITH NOSTALGIA ON THOSE SORTS OF DAYS
SO WHEN YOU SEE SOMEONE LIVING IT UP LIKE HE IS, YOU LIKE THAT.
>>I'M NOT A SUBSTANCE ABUSE GUY, I THINK THAT'S A DISASTROUS PATH
TO GO ON, IT'S NOT FRATISH, I WASN'T IN A FRET OR ANYTHING
LIKE THAT, BUT I LIKE TO HAVE FUN, I LIKE TO GET A LITTLE TOO
INTOXICATED, IF WE ARE DRINKING LET'S HAVE SOME FUN, ETC., BUT
IT'S A GIANT CAVEAT, AND THIS IS THE PROBLEM WITH RONNY JACKSON
ACCORDING TO THE WITNESSES, AS LONG AS YOU AREN'T HARMING
ANYONE ELSE.
THAT'S THE MOST IMPORTANT THING.
IF YOU ARE
HAVING A GOOD TIME BLESS YOUR HEART, LET LOOSE, WE ONLY LIVE
ONCE, BUT YOU CAN'T DO THAT ON THE JOB, YOU CAN'T GO KNOCKING
ON A WOMAN'S DOOR IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT, HOW UNPROFESSIONAL
IS THAT?
AND THEY HAVE 20 WITNESSES, SO HE IS IN A WORLD OF TROUBLE.
