Hunter Biden

Without all of that, I would have never ended up here in Southern California.

I would have never met Melissa.

I would have never had Beau.

I would never have the depth of my relationship with people that I love now, and particularly the depth of the relationship that I have with my daughters now.

I would never have had the wherewithal to understand that this was, for me, a question of life or death.

And each one of them, I was a little bit perceptibly, by self-perception,

able to get a little bit better about the gratitude in the moment.

And when it really hit me was when the verdict came in in Delaware.

So I decided not to testify because what they'd done is they'd put my family on the stand.

If I testified that they were going to bring as a count of witnesses and ask, it was just awful.

And the jury came back.

And when they pulled the jury, they were like, I hated that we had to come to that because it's bullshit.

But technically, we believe that he violated the law.

And I remember, and everybody was like, oh, I looked around and there were literally the entire prosecution.

It was like a wedding.

Prosecution people sat on that side.

My people sat on this side.

And I look back and I literally saw every single person, almost every single person that I cared about.

My mom and my sister and my uncle and my aunts, Mouse, the guy that grew up with my dad, Reverend Bullock, and all of these people from the community that had known me, all those people that I said that were my aunts and uncles, they were still there for me.

All the people that I thought that I had lost.
