0:00.0 | Thank you, everybody. Welcome. Welcome one and all to the late show. I'm your host, Stephen Colbert. |
0:09.0 | This weekend, this weekend, I'm sure that you, like me, were horrified by the scale of the devastation in Florida. |
0:19.0 | Our hearts go out to everyone down there. Well, they really need us our support. |
0:23.0 | So if you want to donate, we have pinned a list of charities to the top of our Twitter page at Colbert Late Show. |
0:31.0 | Thankfully, help was already on the way. President Biden has approved an emergency declaration for Florida, and federal aid has been made available to the state. |
0:39.0 | Well, thank goodness. The roads down there are a mess. People's homes are destroyed, and all that's left of Epcot are the boring parts. |
0:49.0 | Otherwise known as Epcot. Anyway, FEMA is on the case and things will hopefully start to get better soon. |
0:58.0 | No thanks to Florida's Congress people on Thursday and Friday. The House and the Senate both approved a bill that included over $18 billion to help states with natural disasters. |
1:08.0 | So you might be surprised you voted against it. All 16 GOP members of Florida's Congressional team. |

1:46.0 | Of course, he doesn't like that. So he lashed out this weekend on social media against Senate Minority Leader and love child of beaker and Bunsen Honeydew. |
1:57.0 | It's McConnell. Wow. Wow. That's scary. |
2:04.0 | See, McConnell's voted to keep the government operating, which the former president evidently opposes leading him to write a McConnell. |
2:13.0 | He has a death wish. And a lot of people saw that as a threat, but the former president's spokesperson insisted no, the reference to a death wish was political rather than literal. |
2:24.0 | Okay. But it's never great when you have to clarify that your death wish is a metaphor. |
2:33.0 | I want this mob to march on my opponent's house figuratively, which is metaphorically at 471 Pine Cone Road and leave a severed horses head in his bed as an allegory for his head. |
2:51.0 | Former president continued by going after McConnell's wife, who was his transportation secretary, Elaine Chao, saying McConnell must immediately seek help and advise from his China-loving wife, Coco Chao. |
3:06.0 | What the hell could that possibly mean? There are only two explanations. One, that's overt racism, or two, he's saying she's kibble for Conan O'Brien. |
3:19.0 | As usual, other Republicans pretended they didn't hear anything offensive. CNN's Dana Bash asked Rick Scott what he thought. |
