Rational Radio Daily With Steele And Ungar

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.
