00:00That's why we call it the one big beautiful. Bill.
00:04You just announced a new nominee for the U.S. Surgeon General who never finished her residency
00:10and is not a practicing physician. So can you explain why you picked her to be America's top doctor?
00:16Because Bobbie thought she was fantastic. She's highly, she's a brilliant woman who went through
00:20Stanford. And as I understand it, she basically wanted to do, she wanted to be an academic as
00:26opposed to a surgeon. I think she graduated first in her class at Stanford. And Bobbie really
00:34thought she was great. I don't know her. I listened to the recommendation of Bobbie. I met her
00:38yesterday and once before. She's a very outstanding person, a great academic actually. So I think
00:44she'll be great.
