If you needed more proof that Joe Biden wasn’t actually running the country during his presidency, Hunter Biden just handed it to you.
Hunter Biden just gave a three-hour long interview to a YouTube show called “Channel 5 with Andrew Callaghan.”
Over the course of what might literally be one of the most bizarre conversations you will ever see, Hunter goes from attacking Trump for getting rid of the people that Democrats need to “clean your hotel rooms” and “wash your dishes” to slamming George Clooney and the entire Democratic party.
In a quiet but explosive admission, Hunter also revealed that his father—the former President—was taking Ambien, the powerful sedative used to treat insomnia, during his presidency.
Yes, that’s right, Hunter admitted that the former president may have been chemically sedated while making key policy decision, meeting with world leaders, signing pardons, approving legislation, and—most damningly—letting his unelected aides run the country with an autopen.
The accidental admission from Hunter came while evidently trying to defend his dad’s horrific 2024 campaign debate performance which eventually led to him dropping out of the race.

Hunter claimed to know “exactly” what happened in that debate, before revealing that his dad would frequently take the hallucinatory sedative frequently and did so on the night of the debate.
“I know exactly what happened in that debate. He flew around the world, basically at the mileage that he could have flown around the world three times,” Hunter said. “He’s 81 years old. He’s tired as sh*t. They give him Ambien to be able to sleep. He gets up on the stage, and he looks like he’s a deer in the headlights.”
Hunter Biden appears to suggest President Joe Biden had been given Ambien before the debate last year and ended up looking like a "deer in the headlights."

Ambien is a Schedule IV controlled narcotic, that can only be prescribed by a Doctor. Biden’s doctor never disclosed to voters that he was prescribing Ambien to him. It’s classified as a “sedative-hypnotic” and is known to have severe side-effects including memory loss, hallucinations, and next-day cognitive impairment.
The FDA also warns that Ambien usage may result in “abnormal thinking and behavioral changes,” which can present itself as “aggressiveness and extroversion that seemed out of character.”
Sound familiar?

While the side-effects of frequent Ambien use certainly do check out with what we saw from Joe Biden over the past four years, this might be even more alarming for a number of reasons.
If what Hunter is saying is true, and his dad would frequently pop Ambien while president, then what we saw on stage that night wasn’t a one-off, it was how incapacitated the President was during some, if not a lot, of his presidency.
The president of the United States needs to have the ability to make snap judgements on life or death calls 24/7 – NOT be drugged out of his mind. What would happen if there was a major crisis that needed an instant response?
This Ambien bombshell suggests the president of the United States may have been under the influence during classified briefings, G7 calls, and even when reviewing national security protocols. Foreign leaders weren’t just dealing with a weak president—they were dealing with a sedated one.
While Joe’s drug addict of a son seems to think revealing the fact that the president of the United States may have been under the influence of some SERIOUS drugs while he was supposed to be running the country is somehow better than everyone thinking he was just a senile old man, the rest of America is now even more horrified wondering, did we have a drug addict calling the shots in America for four years?
That would explain the bizarre policy decisions at least…
We already know that Neera Tanden, Biden’s domestic policy chief, was effectively managing the autopen used to sign official documents on Biden’s behalf. We’ve seen credible reports—confirmed in multiple Senate hearings—that Biden did not personally authorize some major pardons. His name was slapped on them with a robotic pen.
This opens up a chilling legal question: Are the laws and orders signed under Biden while he was on Ambien even valid?
The implications are enormous. If a U.S. president is not of sound mind—or worse, is under the influence of a controlled substance—at the time he signs legislation, executive orders, or pardons, the constitutionality of those actions should be called into question. Especially when they’re done using a machine while the president is off in dreamland.
The Biden presidency was already shaping up to be one of the most opaque and manipulated in American history. But this latest detail adds an almost dystopian layer to the whole charade. We now have credible evidence that the so-called “leader of the free world” may not have been leading anything—not because he didn’t want to, but because he wasn’t conscious enough to know what was happening.
And if he was on Ambien regularly during his presidency, who was really running the country? It certainly wasn’t Joe Biden. It was the staffers with the power—and the pills.
