‘The Five’: Hunter Biden believes democracy depends on his sobriety

Hunter Biden raising the stakes on his addiction the first son now says that he sees his sobriety as the key to keeping Donald Trump from winning the White House again here's what he told axios quote I often do think of the profound consequences of failure here I have something much bigger than even myself at stake we are in the middle of a fight for the future of democracy the liberal media praising Hunter's Noble efforts to defeat Trump as a relapse would be very bad for the Biden campaign I t

hink it it would give anyone pause because I think he is very concerned about uh his dad's political future and that's really the reason why we didn't hear much from Hunter Biden uh the first few years which is something that Eugene wrote about which is and really Hunter essentially changed strategy when he hired Abby LOL and he really changed strategy after the plea deal unraveled last July um and basically said that this is now a political fight uh this seems like I don't know probably the rig

ht step right stay sober so Dad can win the presidency again right Jesse well I mean he's already relapsed that wasn't Joe's cocaine in the White House they found it's PR Trump has to be defeated or I'll be back on crack come on Hunter Biden is a guy who was born on third base not only does he think he hit a triple he thinks he's the victim of Republicans of Russians of addiction remember Sandra this is a 50-year-old man for eight years raided his children's 529s sex trafficked hit the pipe took

videos of sex acts posted them on the Internet dodged the IRS took bribes and diamonds from the Chinese laundered money come on and now he's saying he's not responsible for his actions but I mean this is what the left says the left says everyone's a victim no one's responsible for their actions it's the system that's unfair and if you put Democrats in charge of the system they'll make everything okay you have to suffer consequences for your actions and if you don't the entire country is harmed

uh judge then again a slip by Hunter would weigh heavily on uh his dad's re-election bit well I think Hunter knows that I think that he understands his Being Sober has some relevance it will have some relevance so he doesn't want to you know harm his father's brand that's number one but more importantly he needs his father to win because he doesn't want any pesky attorney general from the Department of Justice kind of looking at where all this foreign money has come from and what it was being us

ed for and you know he blows away his own defense all the time he says you know he confirms that he's been sober since June of 2019 except that he applied for the pistol permit and lied on it in 2018 so you know there isn't much that this guy does that isn't contradicted by the facts and is it's really and it really is irrelevant whether he can fight it or not the truth is he lied on that one seg section that said have you ever been addicted to drugs and he said no and that's a lie and everybody

knows it look he's had a business organization that is based upon access to his father there are even individuals are now saying his father considered going on a board of a company that was connected to a Chinese Communist party uh and you know he's now moving to dismiss the tax charges saying it's it's a six-year get this it's a six-year record of changing charging decisions where they responded to the Republicans no it's six years where they ran out the statute of limitations and then when th

ey got caught with their pants down with a deal that the Department of Justice had never made before ever a judge called them on it and they had to start all over I'm tired of his being a victim because he's he is more than that he is the protagonist Greg does the future of democracy depend on Hunter Biden staying sober God I hope not we'll be screwed I think he's he might be more concerned about his future if his dad loses because I I'm gonna go out on limb and say I don't think he's a great pa

inter so I don't think that's where his career I is going to go he is right on one thing he's no help to anyone when he's using but it you should probably be saying that about his wife and kids as opposed to the country cuz that's a bit narcissistic it's a bit egotistical uh know he you should probably be more concerned about the people that like have relied on you and that who you've betrayed but let's take him out his word you know uh you know he says you know he's we know he's been using for

decades so let's say he quits well his brain's going to change and he thinks that perhaps the S the sobriety will help him beat Trump what if when he's sober he realizes in this new reality that his dad shouldn't be president and for for his sake and the country he should not even run uh you know reality takes a different takes a different shape When You're Sober will he be honest about it um Harold I'll ask you a similar question is this is this you know dependent on the future of democracy him

staying sober and is he perhaps making the case that his struggle is more difficult than others he's responded to that criticism saying no but it's undeniable that his recent path to sobriety has been unique so I say a couple things to to your question first I I I always think that families and kids having grown up in politics should never be a part of the political discussion if someone breaks the law that's one thing you treat them if you want to accuse them of that it's one thing but these k

inds of things I I wish were not in the public F two um I think it's hard uh I've never suffered an addiction but I have I know people who have and if you suffer from an addiction or you suffer with an addiction any motivation whatever the drive is for you to gain recovery uh I support it as long as it's not illegal um some may quarrel with the motivation um and and some may quarrel that he shouldn't be using this that the fight that the plight of democracy is dependent upon Him staying sober bu

t whatever it is it appears to be working he appears to be staying away from drugs and alcohol and I hope he's able to repair the Fishers in his family I hope he's able to bring them all back together uh and at the end of the day um I wish him nothing but the best and if it takes him saying the plight of democracy will help is what I need to do to help stay clean God bless him I wish him the best did they ever figure out whose cocaine it was in the White House on that plastic bag I hope it wasn'

t his and they never answer your questions I don't think so all right judge is skeptical all right click here to subscribe to the Fox News YouTube page to catch our hottest interviews and most compelling analysis you won't get it anywhere else
