| 0:00.0 | It's Hail Mary time. The Trump legal team has thrown a Hail Mary pass by filing a lawsuit |
| 0:08.3 | on behalf of the state of Texas and other states against other states for original jurisdiction in the Supreme Court. |
| 0:16.0 | Creative but a real Hail Mary, probably too little, probably too late. |
| 0:21.6 | And maybe I'm throwing a Hail Mary myself. I'm trying desperately to save, |
| 0:27.0 | along with others, to save the life of Brandon Bernard, this young man who is about to be executed tomorrow for a crime, a capital |
