Very interesting. I assume this is going to be all over the big news channels shortly (LOL, no need even for new talking points nowadays):

Hunter and interviewer Phillipa Horan, Dec. 2018

The Washington Examiner has extracted a six-minute sound file from Hunter Biden's laptop that is so appalling that you have to hear it not to believe it. I know this is asking a lot, as one of the first things that strikes you is how much the hapless Hunter sounds just like his dad, and thinks like him, too. Indeed it is tempting to say that Joe Biden is his son's father.
In the conversation with British artist Phillipa Horan in 2018, Hunter Biden boasts of his influence on his father"If I say it's important to me, then he will work a way in which to make it a part of his platform. My dad respects me more than he respects anyone in the world, and I know that to be certain, so it's not going to be about whether it affects his politics."
As you listen to Hunter's self-referential and unreal drivel, it is hard to escape wondering if this isn't a bad sendup of My Dinner With Andre, that most peculiar and pretentious film of 40 years ago that critics loved. You decide:At one point Hunter asserts that he is "better than anyone you know," even better than his dad: "Everyone thinks it, talks about how 'How can you be as good as your dad?' I'm better than my dad. You know why I'm better than my dad? Because my dad tells me I'm better than him, since I was 2 years old."Quote:
Hunter Biden: "All those fears you think that I have of people not liking me or that I don't love myself … I don't fear that. You know why I don't fear that? Because the man I most admire in the world, that god to me, thinks I'm a god."
Andre Gregory: "The world comes in quite fast. Now that again may be because we're afraid to stay in that place of forgetting, because that again is close to death. Like people who are afraid to go to sleep. In other words: you interrelate and you don't know what the next moment will bring, and to not know what the next moment will bring brings you closer to a perception of death!"
This direct exposure to the desiccated soul of Hunter Biden raises the disquieting possibility that Joe Biden is a much worse human being than we thought. His biggest problem isn't that he's an extreme outlier on the usual scale of politician narcissism, or that he's senile, but that his congenital need to lie about everything (but especially himself) is a sign that deep down he is a sociopath. I suspect in his own mind he believes he really was nominated to the Naval Academy.
As a reminder, the laptop was released to the public BEFORE November 2020, but was called 'Russian Disinformation:'Quote:
The conversation was taped at a house in Plum Island, Massachusetts, amid the throes of Hunter Biden's addiction to crack cocaine.
"Have you ever thought about this: Maybe this is the greatest thing that f***ing ever happened to me," Hunter Biden mused to Horan about his addiction to the Schedule II narcotic. "Maybe this is literally the continuation and the continuum of what is going to be the thing that makes me the person that my father believes I am."
Horan asked Hunter Biden at one point in the recording what his father says about his crack addiction.
"He says f***ing stop," Hunter Biden responded. "He's scared to death."
During the discussion, Horan asked Hunter Biden if his father would talk about drug reform if he becomes president.
"He's going to talk about drug reform and any other things that I want him to," Hunter Biden responded.

Then-President-elect Joe Biden went on Stephen Colbert's Late Show in December 2020 to defend Hunter Biden.
"We have great confidence in our son. I am not concerned about any accusations made against him. It's used to get to me. I think it's kind of foul play," Joe Biden said of his son. "But look, it is what it is, and he's a grown man. He is the smartest man I know I mean from a pure intellectual capacity. And as long as he's good, we're good."
