| 0:00.0 | Welcome folks to court side, a discussion of Donald Trump and, well, the legal mess he's in. |
| 0:05.6 | It's a day 69, and there was one big action in court, and it was in the big one, the United States Supreme Court. |
| 0:13.1 | The justices today denied a slew of requests from Donald Trump and from Team Cracken to expedite consideration of their cases. Nine to zero losers. |
| 0:24.9 | Not one justice said they'd agree with this nonsense. Not one. You know, and it reminded me of |
| 0:31.8 | something our current Chief Justice John Roberts said. He used to run the Supreme Court practice |

| 1:17.2 | An impeachment charge was brought against Donald Trump. |
| 1:20.8 | It was a single charge about inciting violence. |
| 1:23.8 | There may be the action, they may take up tomorrow, |
| 1:26.5 | adding an additional count about the Georgia |
| 1:28.8 | cheating that he was engaged in and so on. |
| 1:32.0 | But right now it's focusing on that. |
| 1:34.5 | And, you know, before I get into impeachment, I just want to remind you of something that happened |
