00:00President Trump has gone to his bench to dig up a new nominee for Surgeon General.
00:04Republican Senator Bill Cassidy of Louisiana, or more importantly in this context, Dr. Cassidy,
00:10blocked the confirmation of previous candidate Casey Means.
00:13The president has now tapped Dr. Nicole Sapphire in her place.
00:18Sapphire is the third person to be nominated as the nation's top doctor.
00:22Neither of the other nominees made it out of committee.
00:24Now, Sapphire is a Fox News medical contributor,
00:26radiologist, and director of breast imaging at Memorial Sloan Kettering in Monmouth, New Jersey.
00:31Trump said of her, quote,
00:32Nicole is a star physician who has spent her career guiding women facing breast cancer through their
00:36diagnosis and treatment, while tirelessly advocating to increase early cancer detection and prevention,
00:42while at the same time working with men and women on all other forms of cancer diagnoses and treatments.
00:47The president also threw some shade at Senator Cassidy in his announcement,
00:51calling his antics, quote, political games,
00:52and then asked Louisiana voters to boot him out of office whenever they end up having their primary.
00:57The president called Cassidy, quote,
00:59a very disloyal person whose Trump endorsement got him elected,
01:02but later voted to impeach President Trump on what is now proven to be a total hoax and scam.
