0:00.0 | Hey, everybody. I've got an epic one today, and I am serious. |
0:11.1 | Mark Elias, the lead Democratic election lawyer, gives us the scoop on the 59 or possibly 60 now post-election cases that the Trump legal team lost. |
0:24.9 | And I got to tell you, there is some pretty hilarious stuff in here, especially about |
0:30.9 | Rudy Giuliani's spectacular incompetence in the courtroom. |

1:47.5 | And in the post-election Republican lawsuits, you won 59 and lost one? |
1:54.0 | So far. |
1:54.8 | Yeah. |
1:55.0 | There's a 60th out there in New Mexico that I think I'm pretty confident that Donald Trump |
2:04.7 | will lose, which is good because every night I post a tweet. |
2:11.9 | And it always says, you know, Donald Trump and his allies began the day, one end, you know, 58, one of 59, whatever it is. |
