Trump Faces Backlash After Disastrous Funding Freeze; Bernie Rips RFK Jr.: A Closer Look - Late Night with Seth Meyers

Late Night with Seth Meyers

[michelle]

The absolute bitchiness in Jake Tapper's "I'm literally asking about Meals on Wheels" is fantastic. This is the only tone I want media to take when confronted with such buffoonery.

[mesmartgnome]

“Thats a big one” Words no woman has ever said to trump

[zombiechicken]

Bernie inspires me. He did not let this madness break him down. He fights and fights.

[Phenom-]

Trump when he first saw Arnold Palmer in the locker room, "Oooh, that's a big one".

[Tediruxevelt]

We could cut the defense budget by less than 10% and it would be more than enough to pay for universal healthcare. It’s wild how many people lack compassion.

[apocalypticat-gf]

That “Jake, you do know what I’m talking about” made my SKIN CRAWL

[kosh]

You cannot spell Hatred; without, Red Hat...

[alyssaroseknits]

Introducing Stephen Miller with a thunder clap, a witch's cackle, and a wolf's howl is literally peak accuracy 😂😂

[laurenhasty]

Don't know what I do without late night with Seth Meyers.

[seattlegrrlie]

The clip of Jake Tapper saying "I'm talking about meals on wheels" just doesn't get old

[sharbear]

This is what 77M people signed us up for. Really great job!!!

[lelandd.]

Does RFKjr understand that if you have your own insurance, or through your work, and you smoke cigarettes for 20 years, that you will STILL be taking from the pool of available funds? That is how insurance works, whether it be private or public.

[shermanculbertson]

I’ll never be able to thank Seth and his writers enough for making me laugh and smile during such an insane time.

[HairynosedWombat]

You hit on one of the most alarming aspects of trump's line up of enablers Seth. Not a single ordinary person, not a schoolteacher, nurse, librarian in sight. But then, trump looks on us as 'losers'.

[beckygrajeda]

The bit about the exterminator was brilliant. Seth's impression was so good! All the pauses that made it sound like a regular dude not used to being in front of a camera. So good!

[muleorastromule]

In Canada we have health taxes on cigarettes. So if you smoke, you contribute to the pool before you inevitably withdraw from it. This stuff isn't rocket science.

[encrediblehughey]

Thank you for continuing to convey what's going on in this country!

[HanaNotHannah]

It’s so maddening how none of the people getting a cabinet position cannot answer a yes/no question with a yes or no answer. They either do word salad or go around it like they’re about to implode.

[vshewett]

RFK, Jr., like Trump, should be nowhere near the Whitehouse!!

[BirdsNNVA]

He’s “flooding the zone” with crises, most of his own making. Supposedly he is trying to exhaust us. Seth, i couldn’t get through this without your show.
