This conversation with Hunter Biden goes places most political interviews won’t. We talk power, addiction, forgiveness, family, and what it means to fight back when the rules—and the people enforcing them—have completely failed us.

Hey folks,
I sat down with Hunter Biden , and this one went places I didn’t expect. We talked Trump, Natalie Harp, accountability, addiction, forgiveness, being the family fuck-up—and what it actually takes to own your story when the whole world thinks it gets to define you.
It gets political. It gets personal. And by the end, it gets deeply human.
[00:03:36] Hunter and I dive into the bizarre Natalie Harp story, the hypocrisy surrounding it, and why questions about access to the president are absolutely fair game.
[00:10:00] We get into the “zero gravity” problem in Washington—where lies get amplified, accountability disappears, and everyone acts like the normal rules still apply.
[00:19:03] This is where it gets personal. Hunter talks about addiction, shame, being the person who screwed up in the family, and why owning your story can become a source of real power.
[00:28:31] Hunter makes the case for building a much bigger coalition—even with people we strongly disagree with—when the immediate fight is protecting democracy and the rule of law.
[00:34:30] Hunter gives an emotional update on his dad’s cancer treatment and talks about what it’s like, simply as a son, to watch someone you love go through something this hard.
There’s a lot packed into this conversation, but what stayed with me most is the humanity of it. How do we fight like hell without losing our capacity for forgiveness? How do we hold people accountable while recognizing the struggles that connect so many of us? And how do we stop letting other people weaponize our worst moments against us? If you value honest conversations like this—the political and the deeply personal—help me keep them going.
