RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
COLBERT: "Everybody's brackets okay? Yeah. How are everybody's buckets? I'll explain that in a moment, you see, for weeks now, Republicans have been pushing their ObamaCare replacement plan. But the bill has a preexisting condition: Everybody hates it! I think those were Republicans booing. Because Republicans have been scrambling to sell this thing ever since the C.B.O. report came out that said that Trumpcare would kick 24 million people off of insurance. So now they're rebranding. They're introducing the "Three-bucket strategy," okay. Three buckets is what they're calling it, okay. So no health care, but with all those buckets, think of how much you'll save on urns. Maybe, maybe. Sure, pour grandma right in the bucket. Maybe it's not literal buckets, you know, since so many people are losing health care, they're just saying, "Quick, do the first three things on your bucket list."
