Hunter Biden

and um and that's the level to which i um i found myself for a long period of time i mean relatively in anyone's life like the fact that i didn't die i believe is a miracle how many times do you think you were close to death no dozens

dozens, whether it was by, um, you know, like finding my places in which people were pulling guns on me to, um, uh, to putting, one time I woke up in a, uh, you know, face down in a pool, you know, um, and I don't even remember that, but that's what they told me.

Um, you know, I, um, uh,

by anybody's standards was, you know,

I mean, I talk about it... Very descriptive.

Very descriptive in the book.

And the reason is, you know, people kind of make fun of me about that when I talk about, like, I searched the carpet for drugs.

And the point of the story is not that it's some fucking funny story for you to laugh about and, you know, Laura Ingraham to go, ha, ha, ha, he's a crackhead.

And, you know, Donnie Jr.

and, you know, these guys are all fucking tough guys.

You know, like, you know, because they go to UFC fights.

Um...

I tell those stories because, you know what?

I think I know, I'm positive that people write me and say, thank you.

Thanks for sharing that because in the program that I come from is that the one things that keeps you trapped is your secrets.

It's the things that you did in the dark that nobody else knows about except the people that you were in that motel room with, like crawling around on the floor for hours looking for crumbs of crack cocaine till your hands and your fingernails get bloody.

If I can tell you that in front of everybody and write a book about it, and my dad's the president of the United States, and I came from a place of incredible privilege, what I'm trying to tell you is that you have nothing to be ashamed of if you then figured out how to get clean and sober.

All I have is respect for you.

Doesn't mean that I don't think that you should be held accountable for the shit that you did that was stupid while you were high.

But I want to tell you something, is that if you were me, if you were me, you know, calling through the cut down in, you know, at 3 a.m.
