00:00:00.000 Meanwhile, in other legal news, Candace Owens is out there celebrating the fact that on Tuesday, a Delaware Superior Court judge named Sheldon Rennie ruled that the court lacked personal jurisdiction over Owens, who lives in Tennessee, and dismissed claims against her individually.
00:00:15.000 In an ex post confirming the ruling, Owens said that she was tremendously grateful to the Delaware courts.
00:00:21.000 Now, let's just be clear.
00:00:22.000 This is not what you would call an exoneration. 0.86
00:00:24.000 That's silly talk.
00:00:26.000 So I'm a lawyer. 0.70
00:00:27.000 I know how law works.
00:00:30.000 Personal jurisdiction means she does not have a sufficient connection with the state of Delaware to be sued personally in Delaware.
00:00:35.000 That just because you have a company that's registered in Delaware does not mean that you can be personally sued in Delaware.
00:00:40.000 This is a jurisdictional question.
00:00:42.000 The lawsuit continues against the companies associated with Candace Owens, Candace Owens LLC, and George Tom Inc.
00:00:49.000 So, no, this is not some sort of exoneration of Candace Owens.
00:00:51.000 This is a personal jurisdiction technical issue.
00:00:55.000 Legitimately, most, maybe a plurality of businesses in the United States are registered in Delaware.
00:01:01.000 They register in Delaware because Delaware has extremely business friendly laws.
00:01:06.000 And so, even if you're not from Delaware, you register your business in Delaware.
00:01:08.000 And all the court said there was you can't be sued personally in Delaware just because you registered a business there.
00:01:13.000 That is not an exoneration, but leave it to Candace to completely misinterpret law because she can't even speak English properly.
00:01:19.000 Okay, meanwhile, speaking of derelicts, Hunter Biden is out there bragging about his traditional family values.
00:01:28.000 Oh, no.
00:01:30.000 So, he's ripping on Don Jr.'s recent wedding party that was apparently paid for in part by a Ukrainian oligarch.
00:01:36.000 Or a Russian oligarch, rather.
00:01:38.000 Hunter Biden tweeted out a picture of him with his latest paramour.
00:01:40.000 I have no idea who she is.
00:01:41.000 I guess she's his wife now. 0.93
00:01:43.000 Good luck to her. 1.00
00:01:45.000 Making some wise personal decisions over there.
00:01:48.000 He tweeted out Not only did a Russian oligarch connected to Putin pay for Don Jr.'s wedding party, they went on a Mongolian honeymoon hunting trip together, too.
00:01:55.000 I chose a more traditional family values honeymoon in Hawaii with my wife.
00:01:59.000 And then it's a picture of him with his new wife.
00:02:05.000 I don't think Hunter Biden should do this.
00:02:07.000 Just going to put it out there.
00:02:08.000 Hunter Biden talking about traditional family values.
00:02:11.000 Just going to point out his personal history. 0.99
00:02:14.000 He had sex with his brother's widow and addicted her to heavy drugs. 0.97
00:02:20.000 He had sex with a stripper, impregnated her, refused to acknowledge the paternity of the child, and tried to stonewall her to the point that his own dementia ridden father doesn't even acknowledge the grandchild. 1.00
00:02:32.000 He had sex with a wide variety of prostitutes. 1.00
00:02:36.000 I don't know that Hunter Biden should be. 1.00
00:02:39.000 Preaching traditional family.
00:02:41.000 I think you need a better spokesperson.
00:02:43.000 In fact, here's Hunter Biden.
00:02:44.000 Right now, he's just making light of all this, by the way.
00:02:45.000 Here's Hunter Biden.
00:02:46.000 He's been on the podcast tour.
00:02:48.000 Do you miss being crack skinny?
00:02:50.000 Yeah, I do, actually.
00:02:51.000 Yeah.
00:02:51.000 It's like Retta.
00:02:52.000 Yeah, exactly. 1.00
00:02:55.000 You do have a kid with a stripper.
00:02:56.000 Is that correct? 1.00
00:02:57.000 Oh, fuck you. 1.00
00:02:59.000 Yeah. 1.00
00:03:00.000 Yeah.
00:03:01.000 So that did come to mind.
00:03:03.000 I tend to cross the line.
00:03:04.000 You tend to snort it.
00:03:05.000 I don't. 0.67
00:03:06.000 See, that's a keep. 0.98
00:03:07.000 Don't confuse me with a.
00:03:12.000 Unless she had some crack, I wasn't really that interested. 0.99
00:03:17.000 Again, just joking around about all that.
00:03:20.000 Not going to hear about traditional Brady Bunch family values from Hunter Biden.
00:03:24.000 We'll get to more on that in a moment.
00:03:25.000 First, there are businesses in America that apparently actually don't want your money.
00:03:29.000 You call and nobody answers, and you leave a message and nobody ever calls back.

00:04:27.000 Okay, meanwhile, Abdullah Syed's best buddy, Hassan Piker, he's gotten active in the realm of lawfare.
00:04:34.000 So, according to The Hill, Hassan Piker has now filed a defamation suit against conservative commentator Scott Jennings, my friend and colleague, accusing him of falsely claiming that Piker advocated lynching black Americans after airing an edited video of his remarks.
00:04:47.000 He is seeking $72.5 million in damages, $27.5 million of which is compensatory and $45 million of which is punitive.
00:04:57.000 So, all of this is about a bizarre set of circumstances in which Hassan Piker actively mischaracterized a conservative black political commentator.
00:05:10.000 So, what Hassan Piker did is he said, he was quoting, he was misquoting and lying about a black conservative political commentator.
00:05:19.000 And here's what Piker said He said, We need more Klansmen, okay?
00:05:22.000 Can we go back to a better time when lynchings were happening? 0.68
00:05:24.000 So, he was mischaracterizing a black Republican by accusing that black Republican of wanting lynchings.
00:05:30.000 So then, presumably, one of Scott's producers cut a clip of Piker that cut the first few words of that.
00:05:39.000 And now it says what, and now here's what it sounded like when Scott played it on a show.
00:05:45.000 And if you look at these Democratic primaries, black voters have been voting against the socialists, only to be overruled in many cases by young, privileged white commies. 0.66
00:05:54.000 Might these black voters find a home in the Republican Party this fall? 0.95
00:05:59.000 Well, if Democratic campaigns are adopting the Piker plan of returning our country to lynchings, That just might happen. 0.99
00:06:06.000 Did you ever notice, by the way, how violent these people are? 0.95
00:06:10.000 You have Jewish Americans say they're feeling constantly threatened by Al-Sayed supporters. 0.96
00:06:15.000 Now, Al-Sayed's best friend is out there calling for black voters to be lynched. 0.99
00:06:21.000 Beneath all the smiles and dancing videos, there's nothing but hate and violence in the heart of these communists. 0.96
00:06:30.000 Okay, so a few things just about the legalities here.
00:06:34.000 One, Hassan Piker is a public figure.
00:06:36.000 If you're a public figure, You have to prove it malice.
00:06:40.000 Like that Scott put out that show knowing the full context and then deliberately cut that part out and then did it anyway, which is extraordinarily doubtful.
00:06:48.000 Next, you actually have to prove the damages.
00:06:51.000 How in the world does Hassan Piker think that that quote from Scott Jennings is worth $73 million in damages?
00:06:58.000 How?
00:06:59.000 How do you prove damages to the reputation of a person who literally says that he hates America?
00:07:06.000 How do you prove damages?
00:07:08.000 With regard to, like, people have a low opinion of you already.
00:07:12.000 You cosplay as Mao Tse Tong. 0.66
00:07:15.000 You have talked openly about the idea that if rich boys rape rich girls, that's somehow superior.
00:07:22.000 And you think that that quote is worth $73 million in damages?
00:07:27.000 Yeah, good luck, my dude.
00:07:29.000 Also, we should point out that Hassan Piker, again, he mischaracterizes his opposition, like, legitimately all the time.
00:07:35.000 I mean, he does it to me almost all the time. 0.99
00:07:38.000 I mean, back in April, he suggested, quote, a literal terrorist credited you for his radicalization, you effing loser. 0.99
00:07:46.000 No, that's not true. 0.99
00:07:47.000 That is literally not true.
00:07:49.000 I assume that Piker was referring to a 2017 shooting at a mosque in which the person who was the shooter looked at a bunch of Twitter profiles, including Tucker Carlson's, Laura Ingram's, Alex Jones's, and mine. 0.99
00:08:02.000 At no point did that shooter, who is a complete piece of crap, I hope rots in prison, credit me for the shooting because that's ridiculous. 0.99
00:08:11.000 So he was lying. 1.00
00:08:12.000 But here's the question Did I sue him? 0.94
00:08:14.000 I did not sue him because that's silly. 0.95
00:08:16.000 Because that's silly. 0.97
00:08:17.000 Hassan Piker is the biggest pansy in American commentary. 0.98
00:08:22.000 What a pansy. 0.55
00:08:24.000 So, Scott Jennings says something out of context about Hassan Piker, who was saying something out of context about another person.
00:08:32.000 That person, by the way, could sue Hassan Piker for more damages more aptly than Hassan Piker is suing Scott Jennings.
00:08:42.000 But, you know, that's what Hassan Piker does.
00:08:44.000 Again, this is one of the things about the left they use all the tools of power at their disposal against you.
00:08:50.000 So, you see, Hassan Piker does this all the time.
00:08:52.000 If he had power, He would use it against you.
00:08:54.000 But if there are systems that he can use against you right now, like, you know, certain legal systems, he will use them.
00:09:00.000 He would destroy them if they got in his way.
00:09:02.000 But this is the thing about the left, truth, principle, consistency. 0.99
00:09:07.000 These are hobgoblins of little minds.
00:09:09.000 The only thing that matters is leveraging power.
00:09:12.000 So good luck, Tesson Piker.
00:09:14.000 And discovery should be a fun process for Scott Jennings and his lawyers if this thing carries forward and trying to discover what the damages would be.
00:09:21.000 What an amazing video you just watched.
00:09:23.000 Wasn't that amazing?
