Hunter Bidden Sheds Light on His Struggles With Addiction
Candace Owens shares a preview of her interview with Hunter Biden.
On Monday, May 18, conservative commentator Candace Owens, released a 122-second sneak peek of the upcoming interview on her social media platforms.
The clip begins by splicing together various media reports dissecting events from Biden's personal life and his eventual federal conviction on three felony gun charges.
The video then transitions to the studio setting, showing the host formally introducing her guest by saying, “Hunter Biden, welcome to the Candace Owens Show.”
Biden was seen smiling awkwardly at this point of the video, following which, he addresses Owens by saying, “I've heard you call me a crackhead many times, and the truth of the matter is, I was a crackhead.”
The clip then quickly shifts focus to the ongoing debate surrounding Biden's abandoned laptop, which he flatly labels as "bull****" during the exchange.
Following this, Owens counters him by saying that the laptop's unsealed files effectively proved the extent of his addiction.
The laptop they were referring to belonged to Biden, which reportedly contain questionable business dealings and disturbing elements of his personal life, according to the BBC.
The video clip then segments into Biden reflecting on the collapse of his marriage, as he said, “It just started a really, really dark cycle.”
Biden stated, “My brother called me and said, 'This is gotta stop.' And it forced me into a choice. And the choice was, do I get out of bed and live, or do I die?”
'He Didn’t Greenlight to Turn Gaza Into a Trump Golf Course'
Asserting that his worldview extends beyond the standard partisan loyalties to the Democrats or Republicans. He claimed that the elite political class in Washington ultimately worked to sideline his father because the elder Biden was never truly a part of what he characterized as the protected "Epstein class."
Referring to the former president, his son continued, “You know, one thing he didn’t do? He didn’t greenlight to turn Gaza into a Trump golf course.”
The 56-year-old further claimed that previous conflicts in Iran involving the U.S. were initiated because American presidents were “pressured by the Israelis.”
The duo also discussed the September 2025 assassination of Charlie Kirk.
During the final few seconds of the clip, Biden was heard saying, “You must learn to suffer as I do, in order to be able not to suffer. And that is the greatest lesson of everything.”
