Springfield's Talk 104.1 On-Demand

Doctor Ronny Jackson is a retired Rear Admiral in the United States Navy. He retired from the military on December 1st, 2019, after 25 years of Active Duty service to his country.

His last duty assignment was at the White House, where he served as Assistant to the President and as the appointed Chief Medical Advisor to President Donald J. Trump. Mr. Jackson joins Nick Reed this hour:

Ronny shares his thoughts on what's happening in Afghanistan.

Why won't the White House give an official number of Americans left in Afghanistan?

24 students and 16 parents from California are just some of the Americans that are stuck in Afghanistan.

Nick Reed talks about a variety of topics in the news, including:

White House Press Secretary Jen Psaki was caught flat-footed during the daily press briefing when she was asked about a group of California students who are trapped in Afghanistan.

Nick suggests a documentary for you to watch called Uncle Tom.  In a collection of intimate interviews with some of America's most provocative black conservative thinkers, Uncle Tom takes a different look at being black in America. Featuring media personalities, ministers, civil rights activists, veterans, and a self-employed plumber, the film explores their personal journeys of navigating the world as one of America's most misunderstood political and cultural groups: The American Black Conservative.

The recall in California is in full swing. Out of the dozens of contenders that will appear on the California ballot, one, in particular, has become the frontrunner to replace Newsom if the recall vote is a success: longtime conservative radio host Larry Elder. And of course, the media is trying to destroy him.

We received a message from a listener in regards to a vaccine mandate. We've posted it below.

"My name is __________.

My company is mandating the vaccine by Oct 4 or we'll be terminated. I have currently filled out the Religious and Moral paperwork and I'm currently waiting for an answer on it. I'm also trying to get a medical exemption do to an autoimmune issue I have plus the fact that I apparently already had COVID because I tested positive for the Igg antibody.

But that doesn't make any difference to my company. I've called around to all 3 medical establishments here in Springfield trying to see if any of them would help me with the medical exemptions paperwork but of course every single place I spoke with wanted people to be vaccinated and wouldn't help. Which this is why I'm disturbing you. I wanted to see if you would be willing or able to reach out to your audience and if there was a Dr. listening that would at least hear me out with my situation.

Thank You."

Results show that people are turning down the vaccine because of concerns over long-term side effects, and concerns over effectiveness.

Meanwhile, the Springfield-News Leader is running stories making it seem that people don't want to get the vaccine because of QAnon.

ABC News correspondent Ian Pannell said Joe Biden's claim that Americans are able to get to the Kubal airport in Afghanistan is "totally" wrong.

CNN's Clarissa Ward reports from Kabul Airport following President Biden's statement Friday that any American who wants to leave Afghanistan will be allowed to leave. Ward said it is "harder than a Rubix cube" to get into Kabul airport and "I can't tell you how we did get in."
