RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
COLBERT: “Before John and I were talking, there was a commercial break, and before the commercial break, I was over there, standing right over there, telling jokes, and I was telling you jokes about how yesterday morning Trump announced the raid that killed al-Baghdadi. The president was feeling so good that, last night, he decided to attend game five of the World Series between the Washington Nationals and Houston Astros. One of those teams will soon have the greatest honor in sports: Trump’s pile of Filet-O-Fishes.
(Cheers and applause)
This is rare for him to go out like this. It’s been a long time since Donald Trump faced anything other than a crowd of handpicked supporters.

(Cheers and applause)
(Booing)
COLBERT: “The president of the United States got booed while watching the national pastime. — (cheers and applause) That is ... that is like getting kicked in the nuts by an apple pie. -- (laughter) -- a great American moment. A great American moment. Made me proud. And the crowd had more for Trump than just some boos. They also had their own twist on one of his favorite chants.”

CROWD CHANTS: “Lock him up! Lock him up!”
[clip ends]
( Audience chanting look him up!)
COLBERT: “Wow, yes! Yes! Yes! Yes, they agreed with you! They want to lock him up! Put him away for life, or one baseball game, whichever feels longer.”
