Interviews
Fuentes told Hunter Biden he would not vote for Trump again and urged his followers to back Democrats in 2026
In a nearly two-hour Channel 5 interview filmed in a motel-style set, the far-right streamer and the former president's son clashed over race and the Holocaust, then found common ground criticizing Trump, tech platforms, and AI.
On July 24, 2026, Andrew Callaghan released a 106-minute Channel 5 interview with political streamer Nick Fuentes and Hunter Biden, the son of former President Joe Biden. The conversation was filmed in a Philadelphia studio dressed to resemble a roadside motel room, a nod to the tabloid drama around Biden's laptop.
Callaghan brokered the sit-down after Fuentes reached out through a shared publicist, saying he wanted a fair hearing to address how he is portrayed. Biden said he joined to speak directly to Fuentes's audience and to a young fan of the streamer in his own circle. Both men opened by describing themselves as pigeonholed: Fuentes as a white supremacist, Biden as a crack addict.
Callaghan pressed Fuentes on the label that follows him. Fuentes said he is not a hateful person and distanced himself from traditional Nazism on religious grounds, while Biden quoted past remarks about the Holocaust and Hitler that Fuentes has made on his show. When Fuentes referenced a joke comparing Jewish people to cookies in an oven, Biden cut him off, saying his wife and son are Jewish and that the line carried two millennia of inherited trauma, not just a punchline.
The exchange over race grew sharper. Fuentes said he would not live around Black neighbors and did not want his children to marry Black partners, linking white flight to the riots after Martin Luther King Jr.'s assassination. Biden pushed back on the history, arguing that Chicago was already deeply segregated before 1968 and that many families left because of the Civil Rights Act, not only because of violence. Fuentes compared Trump's ear wound and Charlie Kirk's killing to the 1968 unrest; Biden said the cases were not equivalent.
On Trump, both men landed in unexpected agreement. Biden said Trump still blamed the Biden family daily and had no answers beyond pointing fingers. Fuentes said he turned against Trump after the first term, citing unbuilt border wall promises, super PAC money, and AIPAC support. He said he did not vote in 2024 and told his followers not to vote for Trump either.
Fuentes went further on the Republican bench. He called J.D. Vance a chameleon whose career was bankrolled by Peter Thiel and Palantir, said Vance might be America's Hitler, and argued that anyone who is America First no longer has a home in Trump's MAGA coalition after Trump listed who belongs and who does not.
Biden challenged Fuentes on cruelty as a political style, pointing to Fuentes's past praise for talk-radio host Mark Levin's treatment of callers and to Trump's instinct to find fault first. Fuentes countered that he should not have to explain himself to anyone before speaking, but he also criticized Trump for mocking Allah on Easter Sunday while threatening to annihilate Iran.
On corruption, Fuentes said Democrats should take the House in 2026 and use oversight powers to expose graft in the current administration. Biden argued that scrutiny of his own business during his father's presidency paled next to deals involving Jared Kushner, Howard Lutnick, Steve Witkoff, Donald Trump Jr., and Trump himself. Fuentes said he hoped the administration would face impeachment proceedings even if removal was unlikely, and that 2028 could offer a reset.
The conversation also turned to platform power and loneliness. Biden said Americans carry what amounts to a bag of heroin in their pockets and argued that social media companies profit by dividing people who are not as far apart as the feeds suggest. Fuentes and Biden both described COVID lockdowns as a social wound for younger Americans who lost school years when friendships form.
Near the end, Callaghan asked about artificial intelligence. Fuentes warned that whichever company builds artificial superintelligence could concentrate dictatorial power in a single CEO, naming Sam Altman and Dario Amodei as examples. Biden agreed that the leap would arrive within their lifetimes, compared humans losing apex status to chickens, and argued that training data drawn from civilization belongs to the public and that any AGI windfall should be shared communally.
Fuentes said he shared that view and compared AI to nuclear weapons with commodity value, adding that Trump's handling of Pentagon contracts with Anthropic and OpenAI looked reckless. Both men said they would not run for office: Biden said he wanted to reach a million people in addiction recovery, and Fuentes said his role required staying outside electoral politics to protect the authenticity of his message.
They closed on a softer note. Biden said he still believed in America and asked Fuentes to see his humanity when speaking to his audience in the future. Fuentes said they both loved the country, wanted it to succeed, and could disagree fiercely while still recognizing each other's humanity. Callaghan ended by thanking them and teased his own trip to Tehran for a forthcoming piece on Iranian street life.
