| 0:00.0 | Welcome to court side, everyone, a discussion of the post-election litigation brought by Donald Trump. |
| 0:06.0 | It is day 49 after the election. That's right. It's been seven weeks to the day since the election. |
| 0:13.0 | Since that time, we've all known what the reality is. Donald Trump doesn't. He keeps on fighting in courts and Twitter and things like that. |
| 0:22.8 | The litigation count stands at one out of 60 cases that Donald Trump has won. That single case |
| 0:28.5 | that he won didn't get him any votes. He lost another case today in Arizona, but it's a case |
| 0:33.6 | he had already lost before, so I'm not counting it as an extra one. This is the Arizona |
| 0:38.2 | Republican Party's challenge to the Maricopa County election. The judge today rejected it for all |
| 0:45.1 | time today, but the judge added a pointed footnote. He said, quote, what exactly the Arizona |

| 1:18.2 | courts today. Trump's lawyers are starting now to face legal consequences for their claims in court. |
| 1:23.9 | I talked yesterday about how Lynn Wood has already been questioned by Delaware |
| 1:29.4 | judge about his supposed lying that's taken place about the election. Today, also the |
| 1:35.4 | Michigan Attorney General said that she would seek sanctions against the other half of Team |
| 1:40.9 | Krakken, Sidney Powell, for lying in court. |
| 1:52.0 | And the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, the storied litigation shop, filed a lawsuit against Trump and the Republican National Committee for conspiring to violate the rights of black voters |
| 1:56.8 | through bringing all this frivolous litigation. |
| 1:59.9 | And tonight, there's new word out that the last |
