Colbert to Audience Cheering They’re Feeling Good: ‘That May Not Last, Thanks to Our Secy. Of HHS, RFK Jr.’

COLBERT: “How’s everybody feeling?
(Cheering and Applause)
Feelin’ good? All right. Well, that may not last, thanks to our Secretary of Health and Human services, RFK Jr.. —
(Audience boos)
I gotta say, health and human service is a bit of a non-title for him, because he looks neither healthy nor human. Oh, that reminds me, before you put your barbecue away for the winter, you really gotta clean the grill. Speaking of which, fall is coming. That means cold weather. And a lot of people are thinking about vaccines. Well, think again, lot of people, ’cause thanks to new vaccine rules from Bobby jr., CVS and Walgreens are clamping down on offering Covid vaccines in more than a dozen states. What?!
(Audience boos)
But that’s why we go to drug stores, to get medicine, vaccines, family-size bags of mini-Snickers, school supplies, Christmas ornaments, personal massagers, a pallet of yoohoo, and tuna in a pouch. You know, drug store!
(Cheering and Applause)
Get that! That’s enough for a pretty good weekend. Because of the growing chaos in our public health agencies, today, RFK Jr.. Was hauled before the Senate. Now, Bobby seemed to be experiencing more upper respiratory distress than usual today. Listen to Mr. Health breathing into the microphone off camera while one of the senators speaks.”

CRAPO: “So I appreciate you commenting on that. In the last few — in the last minute and 10 seconds that I have with you — “
Kennedy JR.: [Heavy breathing]
[Clip ends]

COLBERT: “I’ve never heard someone have sleep apnea while they’re still awake. That is a lot of labored breathing into a microphone. Do we have footage from RFK Jr...’s opening statement?”

[Clip starts]
Kennedy JR.: “I knew Harvey Weinstein. I knew Roger Ailes. I knew — O.J. Simpson came to my house. Bill Cosby came to my house.”
[Clip ends]

COLBERT: “He looks good. He actually looks pretty good.”
