Why Don't We Have a Surgeon General?

Michael.

Aubrey.

We are a year and a half into Donald Trump's second term, and we still don't have a surgeon general.

I have not been following this at all.

[laughs]

You and most people.

There's been so much shock and awe in so many places, that it's, like, hard to keep track.

We're all sort of, like, drinking from a fire hose in terms of the news cycles, right?

I know.

Whenever I hear about, like, an out-of-work Fox News host, I'm like, yeah, they're probably the surgeon general now.

Who fucking cares?

Today, we're gonna talk about the three sort of MAGA-aligned doctors who have been nominated for surgeon general.

Wait, so they're all doctors? That's actually kind of surprising.

[laughs]

Well, hang on.

Okay, okay.

[laughs]

Let's not get too crazy.

I thought it was gonna be, like, Omarosa or somebody.

We haven't done, like, a real MAGA update in a minute because it's so often just, like, a soul-sucking slog of a thing.

Yes, yes.

I would just like to preface this one by saying it's pretty fun.

Good.

I want, like, Real Housewives shit.

The surgeon general is often referred to as, uh, America's top doctor.
