"You need help in Iowa and I can't plan to help you. So I'd like you to tell the people out there what kind of help you need in Iowa, and the kind of message you'd like to give to the Iowans, but legally I can't hear it. So while you talk, I will be putting on the Cone of Silence," Colbert said, putting a garbage can-like contraption over his head.

After Roemer finished his sales pitch, Colbert removed the "Cone" and noted: "Legally, I can go home and watch the show tonight and hear what you said."

"We cannot communicate. You communicated with them," Colbert said, gesturing to the audience. "Later tonight I'll hear what you said. Does that make sense?"
