Conservative podcaster Candace Owens, a longtime critic of former President Joe Biden and his son Hunter Biden, is set to sit down with the ex-president’s son to cover a litany of topics, including the infamous “Hunter Biden laptop” saga.
Owens, who has frequently criticized Hunter Biden and his family over his business dealings, drug addiction, and the controversy surrounding his laptop, previewed a wide-ranging discussion touching on addiction, politics, faith, and Washington’s political culture.
“Hunter Biden, welcome to the Candace Owens show,” Owens said in a promo clip previewing the interview.
During the interview, Hunter openly addresses his past struggles with addiction, acknowledging the personal destruction it caused in his life. “I was a crackhead,” Hunter said, reflecting on how his addiction contributed to the collapse of his marriage and sent him into what he described as a “really, really dark cycle.”
“I’ve heard you call me ‘crackhead’ many times, and the truth of the matter is, I was a crackhead,” Hunter Biden said to Owens in a clip previewing the episode.
Biden also defended himself against years of public scrutiny tied to the laptop controversy, arguing that the revelations largely exposed the depths of his addiction rather than broader political wrongdoing.
“The quote-unquote laptop, which by the way is bulls***,” he said.
The conversation reportedly veers into broader political territory as Biden criticizes what he describes as the “Epstein class,” claiming his father was never fully embraced by Washington’s political establishment.
Owens’s interview with Biden also touches on the topic her show has had a heavy focus on: the murder of conservative activist and Turning Point USA co-founder Charlie Kirk and his widow and current TPUSA CEO Erika Kirk, a topic that was discussed during the interview.
“I do think there was something about the Charlie Kirk assassination that everyone sort of looked over,” Owens said.

“The level of disloyalty or fear, I don’t know what it is, and the criticism of you for asking the questions for someone who was like a brother to you, it’s like, what the f*** are you talking about?” Hunter Biden said.
The interview is set to air on YouTube on Thursday, May 21.
