| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Courtside, everyone. A discussion of the post-election Trump litigation. It's a day 32 after the election. Oh, my God. We are past a month. What a waste of time. There's a good argument that the last 24 hours have been the worst 24 hours for the Trump campaign, and that's really seeing something given the lousy days he's had |
| 0:22.4 | over the last 32. Most importantly, California certified its electoral votes yesterday, 55 votes, |
| 0:31.2 | and none for Donald Trump. And I thought that the certification was going to occur a little |
| 0:36.3 | later, and indeed after December 8th, but California got it done early. |
| 0:40.9 | And what that does is it gets him, but gets Joe Biden over the 270 vote margin. |
| 0:47.1 | He's got 279 votes now. |
| 0:49.8 | And that means that Trump, it's basically over. |
| 0:52.9 | Trump can try to resort to invalidating the counts, |
| 0:57.3 | but these are safe harbored under the Federal Electoral Count Act, as we discussed a couple days ago. |
| 1:03.8 | So all he's left with is desperate attempts to try and overturn in court these elections. It's going |

| 1:12.8 | The court count stands one out of 47 cases Trump is won, that one little itty-bitty thing that |
| 1:19.2 | does nothing. He's lost some more over the last 24 hours. And look, you know, he's on his |
| 1:25.1 | way to accomplishing something. He's going to accomplish the big |
| 1:27.6 | 50 losses pretty soon. So one loss was in Arizona where his folks were trying to get the Arizona |
| 1:35.2 | certifications thrown out. The court bought none of it saying, quote, based on the facts, the evidence |
| 1:40.8 | did not prove illegal votes, much less enough to affect the outcome of the election, |
| 1:47.2 | and, quote, plaintiffs have not proven that Biden Harris did not receive the highest number of votes in Georgia. |
| 1:53.7 | And I know this is going to break all of your hearts, but the crack in cracked. |
| 1:58.0 | The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 11th Circuit, the Federal Court of Appeals, |
| 2:02.1 | said this whole Dominion system's, you know, Chavez stuff was all wrong, and that Georgia had already |
| 2:08.1 | certified its results, and the case was moot. The court went so far out of its way to say that |
