The Hunter Biden Interview: Why It Matters For 2028

Hunter Biden is back.

There are a couple of reasons why that matters. One is that Hunter Biden is a stand-in for his father. When Hunter talks, Hunter is speaking for Joe Biden. And when he speaks for Joe Biden, he is speaking for the establishment wing of the Democratic Party.

The second reason is that Hunter Biden’s exposure of the entire Left for the fraud that it is, because of his father, is quite incredible.

It is worthwhile to remember that Hunter Biden was part of that inner coterie of people surrounding Joe Biden who knew that Joe was unhealthy, mentally unwell, and who left him in place because they were essentially playing at the presidency. When you listen to Hunter, you should understand he was at least partially the actual president of the United States for several years.

So that makes Hunter’s interview with Andrew Callaghan of Channel 5 on YouTube important.

He said Nancy Pelosi drove Biden out of the race. “You know who did not want Kamala Harris to be president and did not want her to be the nominee?” Hunter asked. “Nancy Pelosi didn’t want her to be; none of Nancy Pelosi’s people wanted her to be. They wanted an open convention. They wanted a floor fight. I don’t know what the hell they wanted, but they wanted to be the ones to anoint whoever they were going to anoint to become the next president of the United States. … All I know is that they definitely did not want Kamala Harris, which undermined her, which undermined the campaign.”

He also took some swipes at people like George Clooney and David Axelrod, saying:

You know what George Clooney did? He was given the blessing by the Obama team or the Obama people and whoever else, and David Axelrod and whoever the f*** else. … ‘We are going to insert our judgment over yours.’ We, me, and James Carville, who hasn’t won a race in 40 f***ing years, and David Axelrod, who had one success in his political life, and that was Barack Obama — and that was because of Barack Obama, not because of David Axelrod and David Plouffe and all of these guys, the Pod Save America guys who were junior speechwriters on Barack Obama’s Senate staff who have been dining out on the relationship with him for years, making millions of dollars, the Anita Dunns of the world, who’s made $40, $50 million off the Democratic Party … I don’t have to be nice. … What right do you have to step on a man who’s given 52 years of his life to the services of this country and decide that you, George Clooney, are going to take out basically a full page ad in The New York Times to undermine the president?

Hunter also suggested that he was totally qualified to be on Burisma’s board. One of the kind of seamy realities about the last election cycle is that some of it was about Joe Biden’s age. A lot of it was about a widespread perception of the Biden family’s absolutely deep and abiding corruption.

Hunter denied he had been put on the board of Burisma for any political reason, which, of course, is absolutely ridiculous. He had no experience in the energy sector. He couldn’t point out Ukraine on a map, and suddenly he was on the board of a Ukrainian energy firm?

It had nothing to do with his last name being Biden.

The last part of the interview was amusing — Hunter defending himself by making the argument that crack is somehow safer than alcohol, which is a hell of an argument.

But put all of this aside. Put aside the Biden administration and its corruption, the fact that Joe Biden was dead for several years, and that his family was essentially running the government. If you see Hunter as a stand-in for the Joe Biden moderate wing of the Democratic Party, things start to get interesting because Hunter Biden also spoke about policy.

There were two particular issues where Hunter Biden put specific focus: illegal immigration and Israel. These issues are the ones where Democrats are completely at odds with the American people, but they will not let it go. They are more likely to let go of the trans issue than to let go of illegal immigration and open borders, as well as the new flavor of the month, that Palestinians are the great victims in the Middle East, including Hamas, the Palestinian Authority, Islamic Jihad, and all the rest of the terrorist groups.

If you’re trying to figure out the direction of the Democratic Party, if you’re trying to get out the divining rod and determine which direction the Democratic Party is going to move into, the more moderate side or the more radical side, here’s the key: the moderates are already caving to the radicals.

They may separate from the trans stuff because it’s been so wildly unsuccessful for them. But the root cause of the Democratic Party is a belief that America is a great victimizer in the world, and therefore, America ought not to have borders, and also America’s foreign policy should be to abandon any strong ally, as long as it is beneficial to the Democratic Party.

“All these Democrats say you have to talk about and realize that people are really upset about illegal immigration,” he said. “How do you think your hotel room gets cleaned? How do you think you get food on your table? Who do you think washes your dishes? Who do you think does your garden? Who do you think is here, by the sheer, just grit and will that they figured out a way to get here because they thought that they could give themselves and their family a better chance, and he’s (Trump) somehow convinced all of us that these people are criminals? White men in America are 45 more times likely to commit violent crime than an immigrant.”

He actually concluded that statement by suggesting that we should actually force El Salvador to send back illegal immigrants. Which is funny, since the ones we’re sending to El Salvador are, by and large, people with actual criminal records.

This is vitally important because Hunter was Joe Biden’s partially functioning brain during the administration. This is the Democratic Party perspective on illegal immigration: America ought to be an open borders country because unfettered immigration, without any sort of real security, without any sort of concern about cultural assimilation, is an effective good.

That is something the Democratic Party deeply believes in. As we start discussing 2028 candidates understand, there will not be a Democrat on the stage who significantly calls for border security.

It’s not just with regard to immigration. The Democratic Party also realizes that the energy in its party is very much on the side of third-world-ism.

It’s the Zoran Mamdani belief that the Third World has been victimized by America and her allies, and therefore the Third World must have her revenge. Hunter was talking about the dramatic increase in antisemitism under his father’s administration and claimed the real reason for that is because of the Israelis. In other words, after Hamas murdered 1,200 Jews in Israel and took 250 hostage, a couple of dozen of whom are still being held hostage after a year and a half, it’s Israel’s fault that antisemitism broke out.

He quoted the noted hater of Israel, Tom Friedman, saying that the worst thing that’s happened to the Jewish people is the Israeli government. “Jewish people globally, the threats to their lives, the anti-Semitism that it has generated,” he said.

The worst thing that has happened to the Jewish people is the Israeli government, according to Hunter Biden. Then he bragged about how his father tried to hamstring Israel in its pursuit of getting back its hostages and ending Hamas, an actual, honest-to-god, American State Department-designated terrorist group in the Gaza Strip.

“He took away the bunker-busting bombs from the Israelis,” he boasted. “He tried to curtail Netanyahu’s thing. He forced Netanyahu to open up shipping lanes and aid lanes at the Rafah crossing to be able to get food aid in. He put pressure over and over and over again. And now, by the way, that is not even remotely happening. What is happening is that they were bombing food lines. There is no one in there to be able to record it. …There have been more journalists killed at this war in Gaza than in any other war combined, and nobody’s doing anything about it.”

This is propaganda on behalf of Hamas, because the reality is that the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, the GHF, which has been actually facilitating the entry of aid into Gaza, has been denying Hamas access to the food, which is why Hamas is shooting people and then attempting to insinuate itself among the population in order to shoot at Israeli soldiers, who then respond. That is the reality.

But these are the parts of the Democratic base that the Democrats are trying to woo. It is very important to them, illegal immigration, and third-world-ism. There is no systemic immunity for the Democratic Party against the radical base.

It does not exist. So if you think they’re going to nominate somebody who’s quasi-moderate in 2028, you’re wrong.

It is not going to happen.
