| 0:00.0 | Is today Friday the 13th for President Trump's chances of actually becoming reelected and |
| 0:08.4 | being sworn in on January 20th? The New York Times has done an analysis which suggests that's the case that there is no path to victory. |
| 0:19.3 | What are his lawyers advising him? My advice is you can do great things in the next nine or so weeks of |
| 0:28.3 | your presidency even if you no longer contest the outcome of the election. Maybe that would be the way to turn a |
| 0:36.8 | loss into a win. You'll hear more about this on the Dershaw. |
| 0:42.0 | Is today Friday the 13th for President Trump's chances |
| 0:46.6 | of actually turning around the election results |

| 1:41.0 | to turn around enough states to give him the 270 electoral votes. |
| 1:47.0 | Now, of course, he doesn't need 260 electoral votes to win the presidency. |
| 1:52.0 | The reason for that is that Joe Biden needs 270 |
| 1:56.4 | electoral votes to win the presidency. If President Trump got no votes at all or |
| 2:02.4 | one electoral vote or 10 but Vice President Biden got only |
