Hunter Biden Admits He ‘Was a Crackhead’ in Shocking Podcast Sit-Down With Candace Owens
Few political pairings seem as unlikely as Candace Owens and Hunter Biden.
On Monday, May 18, Owens released a trailer on X for her podcast Candace previewing a face-to-face interview with Hunter set to air Thursday, May 21.
Owens, 37, has spent years publicly mocking Hunter as a drug addict, making the decision to sit across from him one of the most anticipated media moments of the year.
The tension is acknowledged immediately. “I’ve heard you call me a crackhead many times,” Hunter, 56, says in the trailer. His response is disarmingly blunt: “I was a crackhead.”
From there, the conversation appears to venture into unexpectedly personal and political territory. Hunter suggests that despite their public opposition, he and Owens share more overlap than either expected.
“Something has changed, Candace. It’s not left or right,” Joe Biden’s son says, as reported in the trailer. “The DC elite of the left, they crushed my dad… He was never a part of the Epstein class.”
Hunter also takes a pointed shot at the current administration’s approach to the Middle East. “You know one thing [President Biden] didn’t do? He didn’t green-light to turn Gaza into a Trump golf course with the maître d’ being Jared Kushner,” he says, per the clip.
The preview also touches on sobriety, with Hunter offering a window into his darkest moments. “My marriage was falling apart, and it started a dark cycle,” he shares. “My brother called me… It forced me into a choice.”
When the subject of his infamous laptop surfaces, Owens doesn’t hold back. After Hunter asks, “You know what the laptop proved?” she fires back: “That you were a crackhead,” according to the trailer.
Perhaps most surprising is Hunter’s apparent support for Owens’ controversial investigation into Charlie Kirk. “The criticism of you for asking the questions about someone who was like a brother to you?” he says. “What the eff are [the critics] talking about?”
The interview represents a rare crossover moment in today’s fractured media landscape. Owens has built her brand as one of the most polarizing conservative voices in the country, while Hunter remains a deeply divisive figure on the left.
