In his latest monologue, veteran talk show host Jimmy Kimmel pointed out several worrying signs about the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., one of the most controversial figures in the Trump administration. This comes after RFK Jr. tried to defend President Trump’s claims of reducing drug prices by 600 percent.

Jimmy Kimmel makes fun of RFK Jr.’s statements

Jimmy Kimmel, during his monologue in the latest episode of Jimmy Kimmel Live!, spoke out about the Secretary of Health and Human Services, Robert F. Kennedy Jr., and his statements during his latest Senate hearing.

The Secretary of Health and Human Services was reportedly grilled by the Senate Finance Committee on Wednesday, April 22, 2026. Elizabeth Warren questioned him about Trump’s drug discount site, TrumpRX.

“He claims that TrumpRx has reduced prices by as much as 600 percent,” Warren said, “Six hundred percent, which I think means companies should be paying you to take their drugs.”

RFK Jr. defended the claim, saying, “President Trump has a different way of calculating. … If you have a $600 drug and you reduce it to 10, that’s a 600 percent reduction.”

Kimmel responded to this explanation, saying, “Who are you going to believe, [Trump] or math? Have you ever bankrupted a casino? I don’t think so.” Kimmel also pointed out that perhaps RFK Jr.’s breathing was a bigger concern than his maths. Kimmel showed additional footage from the hearing, in which RFK Jr. was audibly struggling to breathe.

“The actual math is 98 percent, not 600 percent, but let’s not get caught up in semantics,…Let’s just be quiet and listen to Robert Kennedy breathe.” He continued, “You understand, our secretary of health is dying before our eyes…And no one is doing anything about it.”

Kennedy has long suffered from spasmodic dysphonia. There have been other serious claims about his health over the years as well.
