Marco Rubio, saying " keeps your balls in a jar on their desk?” Rubio's name is being floated as possibly taking on the Secretary of State position. “Which is why I’d like to take this opportunity to say to our new president-elect...” Colbert turned and looked directly into the camera, “Pass.” As Trump's cabinet takes form, Colbert emphasized, "A lot of Americans are feeling unsettled since the election which is one of the reasons why according to Google internet searches for how to move abroad are up by 1000%."
