| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Courtside, everyone. A discussion of the post-election litigation. It is day 26 after the election. |
| 0:07.5 | Welcome, if you're a new viewer, hopefully sent by Questlove. Thanks, man. On my Instagram, I've got about 20 episodes so far, |
| 0:15.0 | and what I try and do is wrap up what's happened in a few minutes every day. Well, today's Sunday, |
| 0:20.0 | which means yet another Sunday that |
| 0:21.7 | Joe Biden is the president-elect. And since we last talk, there's been one big development. |
| 0:26.7 | Trump lost, yes, yet another case in Pennsylvania. You might remember that last week, a lawsuit |
| 0:33.1 | tried to throw out two and a half million mail-in ballots. Anyway, a Pennsylvania judge in that case |
| 0:39.2 | had ordered a halt saying that Pennsylvania couldn't take any further steps to certify the election. |
| 0:45.6 | Now, as you might recall, I came to you and said, this doesn't matter one bit because Pennsylvania's |

| 1:08.0 | They call this behavior, quote, a complete failure to act with due diligence |
| 1:11.7 | commencing their facial constitutional challenge, a complete failure. Which means that Donald |
| 1:17.4 | Trump's count now is one out of 40 cases. Yes, he's won one case, and that one case was |
| 1:23.5 | totally irrelevant. There is no legal precedent for a bigger loser. So congratulations, |
| 1:29.8 | Donald Trump. You finally won something. You are the biggest loser of all time. I mean, |
| 1:34.7 | I tried to scour the law books for any precedent. The closest I could find wasn't even in law, |
| 1:41.2 | and it was over a century ago. In 1916, Georgia Tech beat the Cumberland football team |
| 1:46.9 | with a score of 222 to 0. |
| 1:49.7 | Mr. Trump, you're well on your way. |
| 1:52.1 | In other news, Wisconsin has completed its recount. |
