She was one of the most expensive disasters for you, personally (once they have electricity to turn on their TVs)

At the beginning of the speech, he listed some of the natural disasters we've endured this year. [clip of Trump] "We have endured floods and fires and storms." And Stormys! Don't forget her! She was one of the most expensive disasters for you, personally. --Stephen Colbert

"To everyone still recovering in Texas, Florida, Louisiana, Puerto Rico, and the Virgin Islands – everywhere — we are with you, we love you, and we always will pull through together, always." That is going to be a comforting message to the people of Puerto Rico, once they have electricity to turn on their TVs. --Stephen Colbert

And he followed up on that: "If there is a mountain, we climb it. If there is a frontier, we cross it. If there is a challenge, we tame it. If there is an opportunity, we seize it." And if there's a burger, we eat it. If there's an immigrant, we deport it. If there's an investigation, we undermine it. --Stephen Colbert

A magisterial collection.

An emotional roller coaster.

Soon to be a cult classic.

A combination of Bukowski’s

Last Night On Earth

and Orwell’s 1984.

The 714 brave Americans Bush doesn't want you to see (she's Rice)

"Hey, Fred Thompson announced he's getting back into acting. Fred Thompson. Yeah, how about that? That's a pretty gutsy decision, considering his less than convincing portrayal of a presidential candidate." --Jay Leno

"Barack Obama is back from his vacation in the Virgin Islands. He played a lot of shuffle board down there. See, he's pretty smart. He was doing that in case John McCain challenges him to a duel." --Jay Leno

"MSNBC is reporting there's a chance that John McCain will pick Condoleezza Rice as his vice president. Well, actually, I think that's a perfectly balanced ticket. Right? I mean, he's white, she's black. He's a man, she's a woman. He's always steamed, she's Rice." --Jay Leno

JOKES: And if you don’t know what that means, you’re probably Betsy DeVos

This is what President Obama has been up to: kite surfing in the Virgin Islands with Richard Branson. [shows photos of kite-surfing, laughing Obama] Look at him, not an Obama care in the world. –Jimmy Kimmel

President Trump is mad as a hornet. He tweeted this morning, “I don’t know Putin, have no deals in Russia, and the haters are going crazy. Yet Obama can make a deal with Iran, #1 in terror, no problem.” You know, there actually was a time in our history when if a president used the phrase “haters are going crazy,” we might be alarmed. We might even be told to remain in our homes if the haters were going crazy. –Jimmy Kimmel

Vice President Mike Pence today cast the tie-breaking vote to confirm controversial education secretary nominee Betsy DeVos. And if you don’t know what that means, you’re probably Betsy DeVos. –Seth Meyers
