| 0:00.0 | Welcome to Courtside, where we discussed the post-election litigation brought by Donald Trump. |
| 0:05.7 | We're 12 days after the election, and courts are closed today, so I wanted to do a deep dive on one thing. |
| 0:11.9 | President Trump tweeted the following this morning, quote, |
| 0:14.9 | He won because the election was rigged. No vote watchers or observers allowed. |
| 0:20.5 | Votes tabulated by a radical left |
