Podcaster Comments On Hunter Biden Interview

Oh boy, you want a conversation starter? Let’s talk about Joe Rogan, Hunter Biden, and a podcast exchange that veered from casually analyzing drug use to a bold claim about the potential future President of the United States. Yeah, that happened.

On Wednesday’s episode of The Joe Rogan Experience, Rogan sat down with comedian Joe DeRosa, and they wound up dissecting Hunter Biden’s viral interview with Channel 5’s Andrew Callaghan.

Now, let’s be clear — Rogan wasn’t exactly praising Hunter Biden’s life choices, but he was, in that very Rogan way, captivated by how intelligently and convincingly Hunter explained the allure of crack cocaine. “It’s the greatest crack advertisement of all time,” Rogan quipped, even adding, “If crack wasn’t terrible for you, this guy makes me want to try crack.”

And before anyone panics — he immediately backpedaled: “I’m not going to. Don’t do it. I’m not giving any advice.” But the point stood. Hunter’s explanation struck a chord.

Then Rogan went further: “He’s a lot smarter than people give him credit for,” he said. According to Rogan, Hunter spoke insightfully about the psychology behind smoking — why inhaling substances, from cigarettes to crack, has such a powerful pull on the brain.

That wasn’t the type of commentary Rogan expected from the oft-maligned son of Joe Biden. And that’s when the kicker came. Rogan casually, but seriously, floated the idea: “He could be president. No bulls—.”

Now, before you dismiss this as one of Rogan’s offhand musings, consider the context. He wasn’t talking about charisma or family name alone — he was pointing out that Hunter came across as articulate, reflective, and, dare we say, presidential in his ability to communicate complex, even uncomfortable, topics.

In the Channel 5 interview, Hunter broke down the chemistry of crack versus cocaine: “The only difference between crack cocaine and cocaine is sodium bicarbonate, and water and heat. Literally, that’s it.” He even elaborated on the vastly different highs between the two. It was disarmingly casual, like a TED Talk crossed with a confession.

So where does that leave us? In a world where Hunter Biden, the figurehead of so many scandals and late-night jokes, is being described by one of America’s most influential podcasters as smart.
