| 0:00.0 | Welcome everyone to court side, where we discuss the post-election litigation brought by Donald Trump. |
| 0:05.8 | It's day 15 after the election. It's a fortnight. And three things happened today. First, Trump lost a few more cases. |
| 0:14.0 | The count now states stands at one in 28. The only thing he's won is an insignificant case in |
| 0:19.7 | Pennsylvania for a tiny number of votes. |
| 0:21.6 | In the federal Pennsylvania court challenge, that's the one that Rudy Giuliani yesterday argued, if that's the right verb. |
| 0:29.6 | Rudy tried to change his legal complaint. |
| 0:33.6 | This is the complaint that he modified on Sunday, where he deleted all the stuff Trump was complaining about, about ballot observers being excluded. |
| 0:41.9 | And when reporters on Sunday pointed this out, he said, can't you read? It's in there. |
| 0:46.5 | But lo and behold, it's not in there because he deleted them. |
| 0:49.7 | Well, today he tried to put those claims back into the complaint, which is basically another do-over |
| 0:56.0 | to contest an election, and that litigation is to seek a do-over of the election. And, you know, |
| 1:06.6 | basically it's like a double-doodoo. In addition to all of that, we've also had in Wisconsin |
| 1:14.4 | something happening. Trump wants a partial recount of two counties. Now, look, I have no problem with |
| 1:20.1 | a recount. You know, you just got to make sure that the check to pay for it doesn't bounce. |
| 1:24.5 | But a partial recount, only counting Milwaukee, coming on top of Trump's |
| 1:29.4 | celebration yesterday for those two Wayne County commissioners who tried to throw out the Detroit vote, |
| 1:35.3 | only to be later reversed after our video was recorded. There's something really horrible about |
| 1:41.4 | this. There's something very similar, of course, about Milwaukee and |
| 1:44.3 | Detroit. I can't quite put my finger on it, but maybe it'll come to me soon. The advocacy by |
| 1:51.1 | Team Trump has been so bad. They claim that the Wisconsin officials need a recount because the |
| 1:56.7 | officials had miscounted ballots because they allowed them to fix some missing information on those ballots. |
| 2:04.1 | But that's the very rule that the bipartisan Wisconsin Elections Commission has unanimously said was okay for the last 11 elections. |
