Hunter Biden did a controversial interview with podcaster Shawn Ryan, which was released on Monday.
It was more than five hours long and had people feeling that Ryan didn't push back enough on some of the things that Hunter said.
Some elements were surprising, such as his comments on illegal immigration.
Hunter Biden: "We don't want immigrants that are coming here illegally, draining us of resources, and being prioritized above... anybody in our society."

We need vibrant immigration.
But we don’t want immigrants that are coming here illegally, draining us of resources, and also being prioritized above people that are actual, literal heroes... that are coming home, that are still recovering from 21, 20 years of endless war — or anybody else in our society.
His father's time in office was marked by a huge influx in illegal immigration, and even now, folks on the left are pushing against the Trump administration for enforcing the law and deporting people.
Hunter also admitted his father had some "real failures." He termed the withdrawal from Afghanistan under his father an "obvious f**king failure."

"I think there was a better way to do it," he said.
Meanwhile, his father kept insisting he was right.

But then there were moments like this wild comment about the laptop, where he says there is no laptop.
🚨 NEW: Hunter Biden Now Says His ‘Laptop From Hell’ Was Fabricated
— Chief Nerd (@TheChiefNerd) December 23, 2025
“There is no laptop … What they did is they cobbled together a stolen, concocted, fabricated, mishmash of digital information, largely, which is thousands and thousands and thousands of emails from 25 years. No… pic.twitter.com/llBbSBl7Cd
No laptop could have held all of that.
So many emails, it can't fit on a laptop? Does someone want to explain to Hunter how things work?
But this claim is wild because the Biden FBI verified the laptop and used it during his trial in June 2024.
He also did a "poor me" whine, claiming he had a lot of debt, and his family had no "generational wealth."
🚨 NEW: Hunter Biden Reveals He’s Nearly $15 Million in Debt

“I’ve got $15 Million in debt that I have no idea that I'm going to be able to pay off … We have no generational wealth.” pic.twitter.com/MICyagej7A
One only gets into that kind of debt if one had money at some point. And does he want to go into all the ways he spent all that money, some of which were visible on the laptop?
Some, like CNN commentator and Salem Radio host Scott Jennings, were curious why his art career wasn't solving the issue.

People also found this moment particularly ironic:
Hunter Biden: “The people that are benefiting are the people that always, someway, avoid the consequences.”pic.twitter.com/qo2NS0sk5S

"The people that are benefiting are the people that always, someway, avoid the consequences," he declared.
Wait, isn't this the same guy who got an incredibly expansive pardon from his father?
If he thought this was somehow going to make him look better, he should think again.
