A Question from our Patreon Member, Ian Lane, was selected for the upcoming interview.

"You’ve spoken openly about addiction, loss, and recovery while living under intense public scrutiny. How do you reconcile taking personal responsibility for your actions while also resisting being reduced to your worst moments?"

He sounds just like joe. Its sickening

Paul Reed

I’m glad he said one thing. He was talking about his addiction and how hard it is. In my head all I could think was “this fucking prick had no idea what it’s like to live a normal blue collar life and he has it hard???” But just as I thought it, he admitted how lucky he is with his life. My opinion is he sees it and doesn’t expect anyone to feel bad for him. Kick rocks don’t smoke’em

Danyell

I'm glad we can all have productive conversations, but how about how hard the Trump family has had it? He's being upset about articles with awful things posted about him? I just don't get it.

Ram

I want to know why his dad lied to the country about how his mental decline

JIM NEWMAN

The Sympathy Book Tour. I will give Hunter credit for kicking his habits though. That was real, couldn’t make that shit up

JIM NEWMAN

I’ll buy his book, would love a signed copy

T Chambers

I don't think I could've gotten sober in the same situation. What a nightmare that would be. Good for him and he should be proud of that.

Josh mayse

From just this clip it seems like he's being sincere. I hope he's honest and sincere in the interview.

Larry Barnett

Congrats on getting sober Hunter . Mr Ryan thanks to you and your team for bringing boldness to the conversation. You invite some pretty controversial characters on here with a boldness for truth. Appreciate you . Always praying for you and your family and team.

Tee Lock

Everyone goes through trauma 💩 no matter who they are or where they come from… these interviews have been cathartic for me in my own life. It’s easy to be tempted into self-righteous indignation, anger, and judgment but dangit John 8:7 and Mathew 7:1 🪨 pop into my head and 🤯 💥 JC be dropping 🎤 🎤 all over the place. Thanks for reminding us of prudence and temperance SRS ✊🏼

Walter Geer

Coming up on 3 years sober at the end of Feb... 1 day at a time

Becky

Who are we to Judge? I lay it at the Cross....

FrenchFriedFool85

He really looks like his father younger days from the profile

Washington

I don't know much about Hunter Biden I'm going to let this interview be the first thing I learn about him and then do my research.

Tina

Hunter is a really cool cat.

U.S.patriotwatch

You should invite Garrett Ziegler. The Author of the “Report on the Biden Laptop” that documents atleast 459 crimes by Hunter and his associates.

Stacy Blume

He talks like his father same pauses and stumbles, not a quality for a President to have, but for a former crack head ehhh

K Car

Hunter is a seriously corrupt individual and trying to gain sympathy..I don’t even believe he’s been sober 6 years..let’s not forget the mystery cocaine in the WH less than 6 years ago

Guy Panek

I don't think this guy is fooling anybody. Being a politician is in his DNA. And who cares what this idiot looks like, immoral thief

Mark Woodruff

I love you hunter only because I trust Sean

Gracee Q

Total RESPECT 💥🇺🇲🔨

Mark Woodruff

I think you are full of shit "as far as being sober during your dad's 4 year term". Just saying. Remember Burisma Holdings (Ukrainian Energy Company). You benefitted from this. Plus your filthy laptop.

Charlie

Oh the irony……I’m not even going to explain myself.

Jennifer Holzer

This was a magnificent interview and was truly eye opening and inspiring. Thank you Sean for your time and thank you Hunter Biden for your honesty and integrity and I hope everyone can see the humanity of your story and how you were painted into the monster you are NOT. Praying for your continued sobriety and success. Sending love to you and your family. Keep telling your truth because it needs to be told. I have a new found respect for you and I am grateful for Sean for giving you the opportunity to let everyone hear your voice and your side of the story.

Boss

How you meet someone so high, up in the chain of command and only get a few minutes..

Kevin H

Hunter’s laptop tells the story

jeannie

Guy commits treason, pedo, we’ve seen the videos and yet here he is laughing and joking around. No hard questions guaranteed. CIA never changes their stripes.

jeannie

Ask him to confirm who was rubbing his dick with their feet, his niece ? Ask him about his conversations with his niece from laptop and then sympathize with sa survivors

Jesse Bradford

You know, I figured the viewers of this show would be a little more open minded and not lean so hard into a one-track way of thinking. Shawn is a critical thinker and helps bring a lot of things to light, the least we can do as fans is try to model that behavior and take this interview for what its worth. Let the questions be asked and let the answers come. I'm a new member to the Patreon and I subscribed specifically to get early access to this and I gotta tell you, I'm a little disappointed in the immediate hate some of you have against Shawn for doing this one, as well as immediately and swiftly calling it something it may or may not be. Let the man do the interview, and don't make baseless assumptions before you have evidence, whether they end up being correct or not. Shut your mouth and hold it in until you feel you're validated in your thinking, don't just immediately start shitting all over the comment section because of who the guest is. The scourge that's destroying this country is showing itself in this very comment section, and that's the fact that we have lost the ability to think critically as a society and Americans, both on an individual level and at a macro scale.

Manipulator!

SunkotaRidgeBaskets

So, he definitely is a product of his environment in growing up! The drug/alcohol demons do not care who you are and have seen it destroy nephews to this day and their fights to win and fail, so no judgement here, however-I can’t excuse this is where I was and here I am now without taking coming clean, bare your soul and do something to radically want to make a difference! For a great example would be the recent Veterans interviewed that were sexually abused as kids, had the drive to fight for our country and freedom, were exposed to mental, visual and physical horrors, became addicts to desensitize their sights, sounds and injuries fighting for our Country and then took ALL the hell they have endured and began programs to help children/adults and enriched their faith by doing so! Hunter on the other side of life living in a dysfunctional political environment, given opportunities of great schools and obtaining an Ivy League Law Degree(even though disbarred) continued to self destruct by own choices of illegal activities, going to Ukraine, the largest laundry mat for DC politicians, Ukraine that has 40+ bio weapons labs, that no one expands on and Ukraine being one of the largest child/sex traffickers import/export and then fighting his demons of alcohol/drug addictions! It is an amazing feat when someone beats the demons, however these humble Veterans raped as children, not having the same cushy living environments, go defend our Country and by alrights should be bitter as hell at the insults our country has dealt them and still insulting them by allowing those the fought against getting foot holds into our Country and still want to spend their time helping children and adults, that is when the respect of what they endured and what they chose to do with it outweighs their choice of becoming bitter or better! It wasn’t because they had an easy ride, it is because they rode hard, fought the demons every step on their way! That is honor and respect! It isn’t taking from US Citizens, it is giving back and going forward to prove they are the better person! Yes! Actions do speak louder than words and respect comes when you can think about others before yourself and give back! It is true being no longer Democrat or Republican, that crap is done! Our Congress is shameful and you would think Hunter would be so upset that his Dad had a coup against him run by Obama proving even more it doesn’t matter who you are! Come totally clean and be an America, a US Citizen and fight against the corruption Democrat and /or Republican, just for the good of our Country without any political agenda and you in turn will have the respect!

Susan

Where can I watch this entire interview?

Joe Graff

Finally found an interview I wouldn’t waste my time listening to.

BMV V

As someone in recovery, “trudging the road of happy destiny,” my Triune God calls me to compassion and empathy for Hunter, and I’m genuinely trying to answer that call. I know I’m supposed to worry about the log in my own eye before the speck in his, but in this case his “speck” looks like an entire forest of lies, excuses, and self‑pity. What really breaks me is the pardon. I did terrible things in my darkest days and my family still carries those consequences. I will never get the kind of total earthly reset he got, and neither will almost anyone else in recovery. To hear him speak about that pardon like it barely mattered is beyond cavalier; it feels like pure nonsense to anyone who understands accountability. Shawn, the conversation was powerful and I respect how you handled a very difficult guest. But please don’t give this man more compassion than his honesty and humility have actually earned. I’d love to hear from his sponsor—if he has one—about what real work is being done behind the scenes.

BMV V

It’s Shawn!

Cathy O

Shawn, DONT TIPPY TOE AROUND THIS GUY? For him, why did he lie?

Sheri

I gave it a shot. First impression.. A spoiled rotten piece of work. Ignorant. He should stick to living with his Nannie’s and house cleaners. Not his fault… Soo much more to say, but no need to. Nice try though

Rick

Swing and a miss here Shawn. Love your show but this was a waste of five hours- Hunter led you around like he had you by the balls…. Lied to your face, you never pushed back even slightly. I realize there’s no need to burn bridges but sitting with a smile while he pushes dem talking points and lies is not a good look for you!

Maria

I could not stomach the interview. Hunter Biden lives in an alternate universe and he's not a good person and he didn't deserve a softball interview.

Karen Quinn

As a Christian I know that the only thing that we all have in common is that we are all sinners. Addiction has destroyed many lives as did the Biden family. Our hard earned taxes fed their addictions , turned Easter into a Transgender freak show.

some greyman

That chair has been permanently tarnished and dishonors all the men and women that have sacrificed so much who shared their story in it before. I understand Shawn wants to come from an unbiased position but this interview was beyond disgraceful.

nobody1

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xoDXRluB4RI ashamed of you. YOU DID ZERO Homework. ZERO! SHAWN YOU ARE AN EMBARRASSMENT AND A FRAUD. Under oath Bobulinski accused Biden of RICO. And you let him LIE to you L.I.E to you that there was no crime alleged.

Zee

I seriously LOVE how Shawn gifts guests with Sarah Young's "Jesus Calling" It has profoundly deepened my relationship with God, and 6 years later still it's part of my day. Can't recommend this book enough! Am very amazed at the courage this interview required. It caused me to go deep into reflection and internal inspection. Folks we are all regular people going through this life; rich or poor......... as in same basic shit, different "stuff". Certainly learned alot listening to this conversation. Remember we are here to learn about Love....... LOVE where the 'Shame Blame Demonization Game' gets evaporated! And all of us can get so sucked into that silly game! Thanks so much!

Silent Running

Shawn you didn't push him and you let him play the "Poor Poor Pitiful Me" card. Shame on you for even putting this interview out there. You have lost credibility.

Ryan Covey

While Hunters dad remained to be the worst president of my lifetime, I found Shawn Ryan brave to do this interview. I just finished watching it and thought it was beautiful and deeply human, and humane… This is how we fix our country from the algorithms that divide us! Great Job Shawn! That said, Trump is still the best President of my lifetime…

Bill W 35758

I cannot for the life of me understand why this evil chud merits being platformed in this manner. He is neither interesting nor inciteful. He is vile, despicable and demonic. He did not deserve the free pass he received.

ROWLegend

Yeah as much as I don’t care for Hunters past, I hope he find Jesus and comes clean from all that trash he was involved in. Ours is not to judge, that day will come soon enough folks.

Buffie

I am humbled by hearing this Hunter,in respect to only reading the slanderous and bastardising words of media about you..I am praying 🙏 u will.come full.circle into the perfect peace of God the creator of heaven and earth's salvation..you deserve the grace the nail scared hand.extends to you..lots of peace.n lovez to.you Hunter Biden..

Toby Crocker

I signed up to your Patreon because of this interview. I appreciate Shawn's authenticity, and I agree we need to come together. Hunter managed to convince me the elite political class, like all communities, has naive fools in their midst. Let's get Dave Chappelle on here. The two of you together carry the voice of the unified, authentic, American public. Also please invite Peter Thiel and Jon Stewart to come record episodes with you.

eraticmongaloid

Awesome interview. I thought i would come to the comments to see more people be surprised that they fell for a lot of the conspiracy theories pushed out by the right but instead i just see a lot of people saying "fuck him". These people lead me to believe you have little to no empathy or life experience. keep these interviews coming! super important to talk to people on the other side than to just write them off.

Eddie

That was one hell of an interview!!! Regardless of one’s political views, I myself understand what it’s like to go through sobriety and fight the demons. Unfortunately, many hold and use it against you. I can appreciate the man opening up about his addiction and owning his faults. “One day at a time”

Jeff Dexter

I am sorry, but this was one of the strangest interviews. Shawn didn't push back enough. When I came out of addiction (and as a veteran), I had to earn my trust back with the people I hurt. Here you have Hunter doubling down on a pile of BS. I am not sorry that you are interviewing Hunter, but I don't trust anything in his life. He is self-absorbed, a convicted liar, and has a dishonorable discharge from the military. And my biggest problem with this interview is that he still blames everybody and everything else. That's not recovery. I have reached out to Shawn before. I have heard nothing but to give this guy a 5-hour platform and not check his honesty?? I will be finding other means of truth, not Hunter.

erica walters

I listen while I drive a truck. Glanced down once and it struck me how it looks like stained glass windows of a church in the background. Was that intentional? Pretty cool!!

Onzell

I give him no quarter. Maybe, if the family takes responsibility for the last 6 years of BS. . . I could listen to this with compassion and more forgiveness. We dont like being taken over by Bolshovick hacks.

Jason Allen

Shawn, I could not bring myself to watch this interview. Listening to this guy babble off lies and I’m sure shit talking Trump or MAGA would have made me throw my phone into traffic. I saw where you said you felt he was a genuine guy, and that soured in my ear. Dude you have a job as a podcaster and I get that and I’m just a fan of you and the show but WHAT THE FUCK ?? He’s literally a fucking crackhead and most importantly his last name is BIDEN. He’s as corrupt and guilty of treason as his geriatric fuck of a father. Family of pedophiles and deviants and you say he seems genuine??? I hope you were paid well for this interview. Just seriously weird for you to have this clown on and not attack.
