| 0:00.0 | Hi there, everyone. It's 4 o'clock in the East. And so continues the story of the boy who cried rigged election. Donald Trump has asserted over and over and over again without any evidence for nearly six years that the 2020 election, which he lost to Joe Biden, was stolen from him. |
| 0:23.2 | He has never and still has not produced any evidence to prove that claim. |
| 0:27.8 | According to Donald Trump, though, that was going to change last night. |
| 0:31.5 | He promised, quote, really big news. |
| 0:33.5 | And finally, the smoking gum proof of election interference. |
