clarify the pick of ronnie jackson what you hope he will do at the va. >> we think dr. jackson will make a tremendous secretary of veterans affairs. this is a man who as a doctor understands medicine. as an active duty member understands the military. he understands what veterans need in the 21st century in terms of modernizing care, giving them choices an options, making sure things like wait lines and bureaucracy at va is no longer preventing veterans getting care they earned, they deserve, that they need. we've had kind of bureaucrats or individuals who understand, kind of have the experience and resume' of, you know, hospital organizations or in the case of the obama administration general eric shinseki kind of run the va and they haven't fixed the problems. they haven't significantly reduced wait times. under the president's leadership, we have begun to reduce wait times. we've begun to take a lot of the things that provide transparency and put them online for veterans to be able to make more informed choices about their health care. we want to continue the process

and that was - that was my friend ronny, he saved my life. and then one of commanders gatlin jerry howell was - we were out on a patrol. i had been in the country probably a couple of weeks. we'd been travelling all day. day. and he had - he said "let's stop for a few minutes and get our breath", which we did. >> i spotted a tree trunk and thought that's a nice place to sit. so i went over and sat down, took out my canteen and started drinking my hot water, and howell came over and said marine, did you check the stump for booby traps. i said "no, sir", he pointed his finger at me and said "friend, you are going to die over here." that woke me up, and i think helped to get me through. from that day on i was really attentive to what was going on around mean. -- me. and about, i don't know, a week or so later. he was taken out of the field because he only had, i think, 28 days left. and his tour in vietnam. and they put him at the out post, command post for the rest of his time. but this is when the big battle, operation buffalo, was going on ou

"i am pleased to announce that i intend to nominate admiral ronny jackson m.d. as the new secretary of veterans affairs. i am thankful to dr. david shulkin's service to our country." dr. jackson who has no management experience will be tacked with fixing the government's second largest agency plagued with scandals. according to "the new york times" trump feels more job that he understands the job of president and relying on his own instincts putting a premium on his personal chemistry with his people rather than on their resume or qualifications for the job. recent he told reporters change isn't such a bad thing. >> they wrote a story about staff changes that was very false. >> i think you want to see change. i want to see the different ideas. >> the news marked the end of secretary shulkin's time an the va given the president's public backing before this. >> i also want to express our appreciation for secretary shulkin who is implementing the dramatic reform throughout the va. i have no doubt it will be properly implemented. right, david? better be, david. we'l

in a surprise move he tapped white house adviser ronny jackson. he praised jackson as highly trained and qualified. >>> facebook has changed its privacy settings to make it easier to share. as tony dokoupil reports, for many it may be too late. >> your digital footprint suggests you are generally calm. >> generally, yes. quite a leadership potential. are you in a management position? >> i manage a mabusiness. >> there you go. >> reporter: at this mall we look at information. they logged onto facebook and linked to a program that can predict personality and more through social media. >> that got my whole personality right here. >> how accurate overall would you say it was? >> pretty accurate. very accurate. it's scary because i feel like they could manipulate several things. >> reporter: the work is that of data scientist kaczynski. he thinks the era of privacy is over. >> there's no going back. >> correct. >> so the sooner we accept the fact that we essentially lost our privacy, the sooner we can sit down and have a very important conversation, wh

ronny jackson. dr. jackson, you'll recall, made a name for himself, you might say, by declaring the president to be in excellent health. but i'm told by a white house official that some of these questions about david shulkin, ethical questions over at the va were becoming too big of a distraction for him to carry out the president's agenda when it comes to reforming care for our nation's veterans.

president trump is nominating white house doctor ronny jackson to replace. you're watching "outnumbered" i'm harris faulkner. dagen mcdowell, trish regan, host ofen

we assume that ronny jackson is for this as well. it removes one of the policy obstacles that trump would have to -- reforms he wants to see faster. whether that can happen because a lot of that's going to require congressional approval and a lot of pushback against this is another story. >> leo, if ronny jackson does end up being the next v.a. secretary, if he is confirmed, you're an expert on that part of the government, what's the most important thing for him to know about what he'd be walking in to? >> the biggest fight is going to be over as we just said, that privatization, that health care issue. he needs to know where the senate stands and just how far the president's willing to go on some of these massive health care reforms. this has been a quiet internally battle in the veterans community but it's about to get elevated to national news because of shulkin's dismissal and this new confirmation process. if he's not familiar with the fight over how much care should go outside the v.a. and how much money goes inside of v.a. for

ronny jackson. unlike others fired in recent weeks like the secretary of state and national security adviser, dave's not going quietly. he was at odds with some over the privetization of the va engulfed in scan dal over using taxpayer dollars to a trip to europe with his wife. >> nothing improper about the trip. i think this was just really used in a political context to try to make sure that i wasn't as effective as a leader moving forward. >> reporter: writing an op-ed in the "new york times" today saying as i prepare to leave government, i'm struck by a thought. it should not be this hard to serve your country. trump, nominate the dr. jackson working as the top white house doctor in 2013 tapped by president obama, but jackson won mr. trump over saying the 71-year-old president was in, quote, excellent health. >> some have great genes. i told the president that if he had a healthier diet over 20 year, he could be 200 years old. i don't know. >> reporter: cnn learned some of the president's closest

enter ronnie jackson. remember the rear admiral doctor who gave the president a glowing medical report? jackson will be the president's pick to lead the va and hopefully he'll produce work as glowing as the president's medical exam. it is into locker acceptable to use them as elaborates in a failed sadistic experiment and it's high time they had more choices and proper support to fix their government-imposed sicknesses. i'm going to make you healthy right now. let's get to it. i'm kennedy. david shulkin obviously not the first cabinet member to spend your mobby liking a drunken tailor. tom price was tossed after too knowledge private plane trips. if you are betsy devos or steve mnuchin, have at it. but if you work for us, you should know about discipline. fiscal and otherwise. let me go to my stars and stripes ready party panel. a stars and stripes kirsten haglund. and chief editor of dow jones news wire. let's discuss a little bit. a lot of dwramma and shake-ups and personnel changes. what does this tell

ronny jackson, dr. jackson, will be controversial in a different way. he has no political record to speak of and no management experience of anything even remotely approaching the size of the organization he would be leading if he does get confirmed. yesterday, we saw sort of tepid statements from a number of senators, key senators, overseeing that confirmation process. folks on the veterans affairs committee don't know jackson. they have in many cases literally never met him. the good news if you're dr. jackson or the trump white house, there's not necessarily a huge appetite to pick this fight. democrats are far more concerned about mike pompeo, about gina has pell in particular leading. you have a couple of red state democratic senators who are fighting for re-election right now, including the ranking democrat on that committee, jon tester, who's competing in montana, a state that donald trump won overwhelmingly. part of his pitch is his ability to work with president trump. it's tough to see them scuttling dr. jackson or trying to fight him tooth an

ronny jackson. dr. jackson, you'll recall, made a name for himself, you might say, by declaring the president to be in excellent health. but i'm told by a white house official that some of these questions about david shulkin, ethical questions over at the va were becoming too big of a distraction for him to carry out the president's agenda when it comes to reforming care for our nation's veterans. now, that distraction, that shake up over there at the va pales in comparison to the big, very big legal questions facing the president tonight. the white house press secretary, sarah sanders, she tried to avoid answering basic questions today, whether the president has ever considered issuing pardons for former campaign chairman paul manafort and former national security adviser michael flynn. sanders also offered up the same denials in the stormy daniels scandal, which the president appears to be hiding prefer dei day now. >> good afternoon. >> reporter: dodging nearly every question coming her way, white ho

ronny jackson has not been all over tv like his colleagues. he's a navy admiral. he has made just a few tv appearances, but it was a memorable one. >> good afternoon, everyone. to start with, what i'm going to do is read to you the summary of the president's physical vitals as follows. age, 71 years and seven months at the time of the exam weight, 239 pounds, a history of elevated cholesterol and on a low dose of crestor. the president is very healthy and will remain so for the duration of his presidency. okay. with that he'll tai'll take som questions. >> can you tell me how a guy who eats mcdonald's and all those diet cokes and never exercises is in the shape that you describe. >> i would say genetics. it's just the way god made him. >> can you imagine the president watching that? the only thing he heard was good genes gen genes, blah, blah, blah. he is a rear admiral in the navy, served in the white house for the past three administrations. he is by all accounts beloved in that position. today the president picked him to run the v.a. second-largest agency in th

ronnie jackson. reportedly the president floated this with some of his advisers. they thought he was joking or didn't think this would actually happen. but in fact, he trusts his personal white house doctor because this doctor travels with him regularly. he knows him forwardly intimately. and he has decided to give him this huge responsibility of the second biggest agency in the government. >> this is an agency with $186 billion budget, over $300,000 employees. i'm sure he certainly did well defending the president on on air at length after the physical. some of the particulars may come up in confirmation hearing, as chris was saying earlier. it is not a criteria for running this kind of brureaucracybureau. this is a president who also wanted to nominate his personal pilot to run the faa. this is who do i know, who is nearest, how about you. >> even the way we were describing it. he knows him. he likes him. he travels him. since when does that equate run with run 377,000 people, hundreds of billions of dollars will float through that thing. and we know it has been

he is replacing david shulkin with white house physician navy rear admiral ronnie jackson. that is where we begin tonight. kevin corke was on the north lawn. good evening. >> this has been in the works for some time. secretary shulkin is a former executive and medical doctor. he is a rare holdover from the obama administration, recently he had come under fire for taking lavish trips to britain and denmark last year. the president took to twitter to announce his replacement. he wrote: "i am pleased to announce that i intend to nominate highly respected admiral ronny l. jackson, md, as the new secretary of veterans affairs. in the interim, honorable robert wilkie of dod will serve as acting secretary. i am thankful for dr. david shulkin's service to our country and to our great veterans!" all of this is happening is the white house continues to battle other news, as in other rumors about what a former white house lawyer may or may not have said to former trump campaign officials. we take you there and what sarah sanders had today at the press conference. >> i would refer you

ronny jackson. will be nominated to be the new v.a. secretary. do you know how you will vote on his confirmation? >> i have not had a chance to meet him, interview him or look deeply into his background. i will say by all accounts he is a good doctor, good man, but has no relevant experience running any major administration. the veterans administration is one of the largest and most complex federal agencies. this shows the troubling trend president trump has of preferring nominees for his cabinet or cabinet members who are personally loyal or telegenic over these with relevant deep experience. >> can you confirm nip who didn't have any relevant experience to runny agency? >> i have been in the senate eight years. it is entirely possible that at some point i did. but in general i tend to judge nominees based on whether they have the experience to run the relevant agency. i voted against the secretary of education betsy devos, tkpeps the secretary of hud ben carson. although experienced people, neither had run a federal agency or government agency

ronnie. arguably all grown up with careers and spouses and even children. >> we've part yied hard before but never seen anybody funnel wine. >> seems like some things never change. >> this is a vacation from our real lives. we really took advantage of it. >> i wonder in those six years obviously some you have didn't leave on good terms, right, so in those six years what has happened between your relationships with each other? >> we grew as a family. >> definitely. >> last year when we did a small reunion on another network it made us realize how much we missed each other and got in a group chat together which sounds corny but it brought us together. every single day we talked. >> our group chat is amazing. >> the day we left the house we were texting each other. we have this unbreakable bond. >> i think it's the best time for now. >> i think we missed each other long enough. >> we were going to come back it had to happen and they pick now. >> and other shows are coming back like "will and gra

ronny jackson, the president's personal physician. he came into the public spotlight, you'll remember, just a couple of months ago in the white house briefing room when he was talking about the president's physical condition. >> there is no indication whatsoever he has any cognitive issues. the president, he's very sharp, very articulate, a lot of energy and stamina. look at his vision, he's 71 years old, he can drive if he wants to without glasses. he washes his hands frequently. he uses purell. he has incredible genes. i think he'll remain fit for duty for remainder of this term and the remainder of another term if elected. >> reporter: that is a string of sound bites from a press conference, more than an hour long. dr. jackson essentially describing the president as just a bit short of superman, saying his health is outstanding. now, it is certainly raising some questions, though, about his management experience. he's well liked. he was president obama's physician as well. this is a third administration he's worked for. but in term

but ronny jackson was on no one's radar. so in a similar way we have to be careful in terms of saying, i think pruitt makes sense for reasons but he could pick someone out of left -- >> it could be allen der show witz. >> and it is not the democrats. there are republicans of course who have worked with jeff sessions for years in the senate and they feel an affinity for him and close to him and feel bad for him that he's been den grat -- denigrated by the president of their own party so i can't see a lot of republicans gunning for this -- well you have house republicans on the president's side on this. senate republicans have not been going there. >> which republicans -- which republicans vote down a confirmation? >> a confirmation of a new a.g.? >> i don't know that anyone would go that far. i think that there will be solid republican support. maybe with the exception of maybe susan collins. you might get a few on the margins. >> what about jeff flake? or bob corker. >> possibly. but they've been supporter of the president.

ronny jackson have management experience? he does not, you know, certainly has not run anything in a major way, but it is also, you know, certainly giving rise to yet another person who is leaving this administration, saying washington is simply difficult to work in. david shulkin was a holdover from the obama administration, but he had a blistering op-ed in "the new york times" essentially saying how difficult it was to do his job in this administration in washington here, so certainly voicing many of those frustrations. but the reality here is the doctor has a close relationship to the president, that helps any cabinet secretary. certainly if he's confirmed, big question, if he's confirmed, will surround himself by people who know how to run agencies. but, john, the va is the second largest part of the federal government here, the second largest department, so certainly an upgrade in terms of people he'll be in charge of should he be confirmed. that will come perhaps by summer. but some weeks away, john. >> senate democrat
