Hunter Biden

I was a crack addict.

Showed really poor judgment when I was addicted to drugs.

I had... I made real mistakes in my personal life.

Never had an intention of cruelty or some kind of venal, you know.

I think all of it basically out of grief and trauma and loss and desperation and selfishness to try to fix that, whatever hole was in my heart.

But haven't we all?

And I really mean this.

Haven't we all?

Lord knows I have.

And, you know, I say to people like Jake, you know, you cast the first stone, you know?

Like, like, man, like, who the fuck are you or anybody else for me to judge you?

Now, I've had the gift of making it,

all for everybody to judge.

I mean, the gift of realizing that no one else's judgment defines me.

I'm just honored that you gave me the space, and I really mean it, to just spend six hours, because who the hell fucking cares, Sean?

I mean, who am I?

But it really means the world to me that, like, you know, you let everybody else, but more importantly to me, it was just meant to be able to sit with you.

It's the greatest story in the history of the world.

The redemption story.

Yeah, I still got a long ways to go.
