| 0:00.0 | Today, an emergency appeal was filed in the U.S. Supreme Court, challenging the election results in Pennsylvania. |
| 0:06.9 | This appeal raises serious legal issues, and I believe the court should hear the case on an expedited basis. |
| 0:14.5 | I do believe that, but I did not write those words. |
| 0:17.3 | Those words come from our intrepid co-host, Senator Cruz, as we continue this election |
| 0:23.9 | mess. I'm Michael Knowles. This is Verdict with Ted Cruz. |
| 0:33.6 | Welcome back to Verdict with Ted Cruz. It is excellent to be here, Senator, with you in person, in Washington, D.C. |

Some people are saying Joe Biden is the president-elect. Some people are saying the electors won't vote until December 14th. What is the state of the race and the legal challenges? |
| 1:43.5 | Well, it's not resolved right now. |
| 1:45.3 | There are multiple lawsuits all across the country, and those lawsuits need to be resolved. |
| 1:50.3 | And until then, you know, I have to say the media kind of stamping their feet and insisting |
| 1:55.7 | it's over now because we say it's over. |
| 1:58.7 | That's a little weird. |
| 2:02.9 | We're going to have a clear and definitive result. Anytime you have an election and the election is contested, you wait until the results |
| 2:08.5 | of that contest are over. You know, you remember, think back to the Minnesota Senate race between |
