| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Courtside, everyone. What used to be a discussion of the post-election litigation |
| 0:04.5 | brought by Donald Trump, and now is morphing into something else driven by Donald Trump's |
| 0:09.7 | resistance to reality, fact, the Constitution, honesty, decency, and respect for anyone besides |
| 0:17.3 | himself. It's day 68. There is no more litigation really to be had. The big litigation |
| 0:23.5 | is elsewhere that Donald Trump is threatening to sue Twitter for booting him, claiming it violates |

| 1:22.4 | have to watch Fox and Friends to find out what Donald Trump is thinking. Anyway, Trump now has a lifetime ban from Twitter, rendering his iPhone just about as useful |
| 1:33.2 | as Josh Hawley's law degree. |
| 1:35.5 | Oh, and by the way, Trump also got banned from Spotify, which spares us seeing the only |
