RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
COLBERT: "Yesterday, Trump paid a visit to new Bern, North Carolina, one of the towns ravaged by Hurricane Florence. And he showed deep concern for this boat that washed ashore. Telling the owner of the property where it ended up: “At least you got a nice boat out of the deal.” He talked about the boat a lot. His comments are so disturbingly inappropriate relative to this tragedy, the only way we could make them remotely palatable is to turn it into a children’s book. So gather ‘round, friends, it’s time to read a little book we at “The Late Show” put together called, “Whose boat is this boat? ... Comments that don’t help in the aftermath of a hurricane.”
