Hunter Biden Lets It All Hang Out in Epic Exclusive Interview with Jim Acosta - this is excellent

Last edited Wed Jul 8, 2026, 11:55 AM - Edit history (1)

Edited to add:
I thought about doing a summary but they cover so much that I would have no idea how to summarize. It is long but I am finding it very worthwhile. How I handle that is to listen on my phone while I cook and do kitchen stuff. You don't need to watch, only listen. I am impressed with how insightful Hunter is.

Hunter reveals his candid thoughts on Trump, Graham Platner, the World Cup, and his dad, among other things..

...then you should've kept scrolling instead of wasting it on talking shit to people who have enjoyed his recent interviews and social media clapbacks.

The reality is, your time doesn't mean squat. You just don't like the guy, insist on being willfully ignorant about why he holds appeal and are obviously triggered by others who feel differently.

He's taken responsibility for his poor life choices (unlike the WH occupant) and is clean and trying to do better.

I imagine being in the same car wreck that killed your mother and sister and almost killed you and your brother and then having said brother die young from horrible brain cancer can mess a guy up.

Liberals are suppose to be the ones that empathize with these situations but some of us are just as judgmental as the other side.

Beau was in a body cast and Hunter got a Concussion. Not good for a developing brain. I wonder if that played a role in some of his issues.

That's a generous way of putting it. And we are supposed to care what the "trump spawn" think because they are "running businesses" but Hunter is not worth listening to?

I'd love to be able to sit and watch this, but I don't have the 2 hours to do it.

I would suggest just starting somewhere and listening as long as you can. I listen on my phone while I'm doing kitchen stuff and it will take me several sessions of cooking and doing dishes to get thru it!. I don't know how anyone would have time to just sit and listen.
There is a transcript on the You Tube write up.

In reading this thread I'm told the Orange Spawn are running legitimate business as opposed to monumental con jobs. JFC.
