Up First from NPR · Stalemate In The Strait Of Hormuz, DHS Shutdown Ends, Trump's Surgeon General Nominee · 1 May 2026 podcast

And she's a frequent Fox News medical contributor with a podcast called Wellness Unmasked.

In his nomination post on Truth Social, Trump described her as a star physician and an incredible communicator.

Yeah, absolutely.

I mean, the Surgeon General is tasked with promoting health-based, science-based measures that keep people healthy.

Sapphire talked about the job back in February on her podcast, and she said that the Surgeon General's main role is public health messaging.

Sapphire also said that they need the respect of the medical establishment.

And at the time, in her opinion, that's where the previous nominee, Dr. Casey Means, was falling short.

Why did Dr. Means' nomination get pulled ultimately?

Yeah, so the Surgeon General position has been a whole saga for Trump.

Sapphire is Trump's third pick, and he withdrew his first nominee after scrutiny over how she represented her medical credentials.

Next, he chose Dr. Casey Means, who doesn't have an active medical license.

And at a confirmation hearing in February, she faced pushback from senators, including some Republicans, about her views on vaccines.

She said that she believes vaccines save lives, but stopped short of encouraging parents to vaccinate their kids against measles and flu.

Now, yesterday, Trump called out Republican Senator Bill Cassidy from Louisiana, saying that Cassidy stood in the way of means getting confirmed.

And in response, the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pension Committee, which Cassidy chairs, said on X that it was clear means didn't have the votes.

Cassidy's a doctor, so, you know, he had thoughts.

So where is Dr. Sapphire on these issues?

Well, she's kind of an originator of the Make America Healthy Again movement before Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

took it on.

It's actually the title of a book she published back in 2020.
