| 0:00.0 | Welcome to court side, everyone, a discussion of the post-election litigation brought by Donald Trump. |
| 0:05.6 | We were day 34 after the election. That means we're getting close to 50 Trump losses, that is. |
| 0:11.7 | The court count stands at one out of 49. Trump has won one case. And that won, you know, I forgot what it was even was. |
| 0:19.9 | So I looked at Mark Lias' website. |
| 0:22.3 | Mark is a national hero. |
| 0:23.6 | He's been litigating these cases. |

| 1:13.6 | Today he hosted something he called Disinformation Monday, where he was debunking the ridiculous claims about ballots being in suitcases and stuff like that. |
| 1:24.6 | In Michigan, the judge blew out the Cracken case brought by Sidney Powell. |
| 1:31.4 | This one, like Stefan, has it all. It was denied on mootness, was denied on official immunity, |
| 1:39.0 | on latches. That's the idea that Sidney Powell did sue sue in time on abstention grounds, that there |
