| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Courtside, the discussion of Donald Trump and, well, the mess he's in. It's day 70. That's right. A full |
| 0:08.2 | 10 weeks ago, we had the election. And when we started this journey, I think we knew it would be somewhat |
| 0:14.5 | cray-cray. I didn't think we thought it would be this cray-cray. A bunch of things happened today. |
| 0:20.5 | So going back to court sides' roots, |
| 0:22.6 | which are, of course, litigation, the Trumpistas dismissed their case in Michigan today, |
| 0:27.9 | bringing the Trump record to one out of 65 cases that they want. One case, which got them |
| 0:35.0 | zero votes. This is, ladies and gentlemen, the worst litigation performance of any litigant, any team, |
| 0:43.5 | anywhere, I think in American history. |
| 0:45.7 | I certainly never seen anything like it. |

| 1:30.9 | his failed wall. It's nice that Donald Trump thinks he can distract us from his incompetence and |
| 1:36.6 | failures by reminding us that he, a self-described real estate mogul, couldn't even manage to build a wall |
| 1:43.8 | in four years. I'm still waiting |
| 1:45.9 | for Mexico to pay for it. Anyway, he flew to Texas with his lap dog, Senator Lindsey Graham. Now, true, |
| 1:52.7 | true. Lindsay Graham last week did say, enough is enough. I've tried to be helpful. But, you know, |
| 2:00.3 | whatever that minor four-second break from Donald |
