should someone who is addicted to any substance not have the constitution? all right to keep and bear arms regardless of the political differences. i want to take a higher ground here. this is a son of the sitting president of the united states of america. i can only imagine what types of threats he's getting on a austin basis he did not hold up for what you want. make sure you keep that thought. but got paula reid has just walked outside of the court. she's joining us right now from women content delaware. what's the latest year hearing? paula wolf, the jury has found hunter biden, the president, signed guilty on all three counts. in this case after three hours of deliberation count one is a false statement and the purchase of a firearm count two is false statement related to formation required to be kept by a federal firearms licensed dealer. count three is possession of a firearm by a person who is an unlawful user or addicted to a controlled substance. so he has been found guilty on all three counts. now, the jury here is comprised of six men and six wom

it it was not attic when it said are you a unlawful addiction to drugs or are you addicted to drugs? well, let's first read the first one and x hearing all the evidence, i believed that he was and he did knowingly by the gun, knowing that he was a drug addict i do understand knowing that he was addicted. >> i do want ask you just one quick question. was there there's a lot of talk about the jurors knowing everybody knowing a biden in delaware, there's a lot of discussion about that going in did the did anybody have a personal connection to joe biden and the biden family, did that play? to the discussion at all not at all of the family the family was not at all we didn't discuss we didn't we didn't use jill. >> we didn't use the president biting like i was i was telling someone earlier, like president biting never really even came in to play for me because his name was only brought up one store in the trial. and that's when i that's what kind of sunk in a little bit. oh, wow. this is, this is the sitting president who's on trial. and so that was yeah, that was kinda hard and to know o

, always an addict. i'm assuming he is in recovery. it will help him. that's the sad part is that he went to trial. it would have been a miracle if there was an acquittal. it would have been the jury doing nullification, saying we are sympathetic to him, which you are not supposed to do. but some do that. it's not an unfair verdict. they followed the law. but it's a sad verdict. >> laura, ken outlined what's next. as you look at the picture, what is point a to point b? what does that look like? what does this verdict now mean for hunter biden? >> he is in more legal jeopardy coming in a few months in september on the heels of the november election. he is facing nine counts for tax related charges, including tax evasion and filing a false return. didn't pay his taxes to the tune of $1.4 million on time. his attorneys will tell you, they paid it all back. legally, doesn't matter. he is still facing serious jeopardies there. all of which would have gone away if he had been able to secure this plea deal. his

that addiction. this idea of natural consequences following some behavior. can you talk to us a little bit about that and how families sometimes approach that in, in different ways. >> yes. well, families, one there naturally try to protect their loved one. but as they come to learn more about addiction and recovery, you'll also come to understand that we don't want to get in the way of the natural consequences. instead, we want to focus our efforts on using the law open concern among the family members and friends to help get the person into treatment, into recovery, and a join them on that recovery journey as well. and so there's a lot families can do, but just getting in the way of consequences paying off somebody's fine or rent or something like that, or trying to cover for them is not helpful jeff. >> it is it is so helpful to speak with you, obviously, this is an issue that is brought up because of this trial on this conviction, but it's also an issue that i think show many benefit. so many wil

they struggled with addiction and passed away. now here's the interview. >> no. >> what he think that is? >> i don't know, because we were so focused on the case and listening to the defense and the prosecutor and witnesses that -- you are really nervous. at what part did i actually nervous about was when the trial was handed over. then it became real. now we have to play the part, you know? the defense and the prosecution and the witnesses are done. now it's our part so -- yeah. at home it got real and i got nervous. >> i took a video of you speaking earlier. i assume since you don't want to use your name you don't want your video as far as public or do you care? >> i can't speak for anybody else here. >> i'd rather not. >> i just want to give you my name and phone number. if you decide you want to be on tv or the internet, we would love to have you. >> it was a trial like i said i never expected to be on it. sitting in it day in and day out looking at all the evidence and mr. biden over there. you can't help but take some of the

they had to prove that he was a user or addicted to, and not just addicted but an illegal user of is option of drugs around the time, the period he bought the gun, but not on the day or the week he owned the gun, and there's evidence of that, and it's not disputed hunter biden was addicted to cocaine before he bought the gun, and then he called himself an addict to friends and family, and what was contested in the trial is is there evidence he used drugs in the period he bought the gun, and it's not clear that matters about that. the prosecution argued it didn't matter. they also argued that, in fact, he was using drugs, even a day or two days after he purchased that gun, and there are text messages to that fact and those are not definitive. the jury back here with a verdict within three hours of deliberation, and that's normally good for the government but who knows. we will find out when we do. >> of course, ken, standing by with you. meanwhile, jeff, talk to us about these three charges. we are showing there on the screen these three counts against hunter biden. can you find of go

so on, i want to introduce you because you'll also a recovering addict. but beyond that, you also have a community based organization working very, very closely with communities here who are struggling with alcoholism. so based on what you've had on your own personal experience, how wide spread is a problem of alcohol abuse and addiction and can you, in fact, you should be to get a national disaster. because actually we are losing a lot of people typical who lives in more than about drugs and other diseases put together, addiction is assumed best of disease and that is the reason why we have not. we can say that we have this, this, this but this fixed right up some of the $300.00 plus signs. because like, uh in the villages what they do when the person dies from a call is and nobody talks about it. so we don't really know how many people we are losing in the week, and you said that you lost quite a number of people in your family. is that because because of alcohol use? yeah. so let me just hear from the people who are in the audience, right, because we a

they're like heavy on to develop an addiction. but as much as best grows up in an environment, you as a lot of trauma, there's a lot of stress, violence and abuse. you might just include, you have the tendency to be strong. how about your family, your friends, you did affect your relationship with them. they have had a very button until now a lot of the lot on us and me know what made you decide that you need to show that there is a treatment. but for me, on my agenda with an electrician with those clothes. i was thinking that really cool. lets do you know, as long as the lupsi are no more bad to go home. i took a loan, that's all i'm stuff i for the separation every day. now let me explain what the situation is it. so that's all i need to stop on my own. let me put in the community. if we look there, is it so you, you finally go to the place where you know, wanted to your stuff to drunk to. so yes, i didn't want to use my time of much. i fully know that somebody on my own i was using uncle and i was sticking hot down for almost 4

with addiction.unter? that everybody has experience with this and more sympathy and more condemnation. >> you just don't know. that's the problem. no one knew about ndas and porn stars and how to manage books in the trump trial and had to be told will: tim kennedy went to norman day for the 80s anniversary of d-day and re-enlisted. we'll talk to him, next. ♪ everybody wants super straight, super white teeth. they want that hollywood white smile. new sensodyne clinical white provides 2 shades whiter teeth and 24/7 sensitivity protection. i think it's a great product. it's going to help a lot of patients. pete: army ranger tim kennedy went to moray mandy for the 80td re-enlisted. he also jumped into hallowed ground performing a parachute jump much like the original d-day heros and he awarded medals to two deserving world war ii heros. tim kennedy joins us now to discuss. tim, what an awesome moment. we'll get to re-enlistment but first the ability to jump 80 years later out of a similar aircraft and be

this is put together uh, addiction these assume vista. this is in that is the reason why we have not, we can say that we have this, this, this, but this takes right up some of the $300.00 plus signs. because like in a village is what they do when the person dies from a call is and nobody talks about it. so we don't really know how many people we are losing in a week. and you said that you lost quite a number of people in your family. is that because because of alcohol use? yeah. so let me just hear from the people who are in the audience, right, because we are hearing, but parents and families being addicted might be a contributing factor. did any of you grew up with parents where you would say what dependent or alcoholics fuse? raise your hand, let's see. can you please tell me about your story? when i was growing up? always finding myself and when it was a kid like my father would come drunk. like, fight like be done, mama, you see. and and some things, for example, in my family we echoed more do you see we, i couldn't what do you like

he did not believe or he did not think that he was addicted or an addict at the time? hi, i'm a filling out the form because one of the questions on the form is, are you an unlawful user of or addicted to illegal drugs? >> a burner you think do you see that as gray area? i mean, who determines who is an addict? >> exactly. and that's the issue that the defense is going to hone in on to the point that they wanted to call an expert to testify about addiction to tau exactly. >> so then the question would be, who would you call ask questions of? unfortunately, it seems that hunter biden will probably be the only person to only witness that will be able to give information that on that date at that time, i didn't believe that i was an attic. i had just left rehab 11 days prior, like i did not believe i was addict, so therefore, i do not believe that i was lying on this form. same thing with the possession of the firearm, however, there's going to be conflicting testimony from other witnesses. so it's all going to boil down, i guess, on hunter biden testify, even though i do

we are joined by a doctor who specializes in adolescent addiction.are not talking about legal or political conversation around the trial. but the specific addiction piece that resonated with so many people. he said what struck you most was how people were talking about it. >> i've paid close attention to the trial not because i was particularly focused on the legal but on how we talk about people who struggle with addiction. a lot of the coverage focused on hunter biden and described him as an addict. it really put the person's condition first before they are even a person. i usually talk about a person with a substance abuse disorder. a lot of the coverage should use this language and terminology that can be heard all and harmful for many people in america who struggle with addiction. >> two thirds of americans say they are impacted in some way. when you take a closer look at substance abuse disorders in america, american say they struggle with it. what should we understand about what is behind this increase? >> there are a lot of the things that go

do you mind sharing what your journey through addiction and recovery has been? i used to tell myself, i did not have a drinking problem on this. the i never, i would call myself on alcoholic just for laughs just for guides. but in truth, i really did have a drinking problem. i wouldn't wake up and drink, but i would get a whole bottle excessive in 50 a male. i'm zynga, and finish it all by myself in my room. yeah. do you remember what time at what point you felt like you need to drink in excess of and probably when my father died, honestly, all my life. i think my father struggled to that dixon over the alcohol, basically. and it was never, it was an open secret. you know, his family never really spoke about it. he never spoke to us about it. when he died, i felt, oh, oklahoma took him, let me so alcohol whose boss, you know it's a huge mistake and we'll come back to to that in a short while. but true, we're talking about recovery and you're literally just these into your recovery journey. 5050, how many days? 56. they all come by. 2 nations. how like, how are y

biden's struggles with addiction. their message, the evidence does not show show he was using drugs when he bought the gun and perez is outside the court this morning for us to evan, what's going to happen today what else are we just saw just a short while ago, kathleen buhle, hunter biden's ex-wife arrive in court. >> we expect that he is going to be the next weight and the witness after the defense has finished cross-examining, the fbi agent who they've who the prosecution is used to establish a lot of that evidence that you just talked about. they introduced the infamous laptop they showed pictures and video, they showed text messages from people who they say he bought gut drugs from. they showed the gun, they showed up drug paraphernalia, crack pipe, all of that displayed in a very large screen for the jury to see and the prosecution is trying to use all of this overwhelm jurors really with what their point is, which is that hunter biden knew he was struggling with it prediction. they were eight times that he was

, or an internet addiction disorder isn't listed in there. things like internet gaming disorder are listed in there. i wonder if you think internet addiction order should be in there or maybe that it will be soon it might be there's still a lot of debate in the field as to whether we should call this and addiction. >> i do think it is remarkable how many people talk about their social media and phone use using a language or prediction. and we even seen this in a few studies where people are asked him to give up or cut back on social media. if those studies lashed you a day or two people feel worse, it's very similar to the pattern that you see with other addictions that those first couple of days there are withdrawal symptoms. >> and then after that, it gets better. >> and as people come out of it and users time and other more productive ways, then that's where you see the reduction of depression, increases in happiness. >> yeah, i think he look i think so many parents can connect with that as they've tried to wean their child off of whatever

he turned to addiction.t today, we see from president biden, speaking about the pride he feels seeing his son now come through on the other side. chris, we have new information worth sharing, as well. after the president delivers this speech at this gun safety event, the white house announcing that the president will fly up here to wilmington, to spend the rest of the day with the family. we know the first lady, dr. jill biden is already here. she left the courthouse with her son earlier. the president used to take as a senator, amtrak to and from the train station that's named after him. it's the joseph r. biden jr. rail station. instead, he will be flying air force one to a national guard base that is named after his son beau biden. a poignant reminder of the toll that this family has been through over the years. tragedies that they had at a difficult moment, seeing his son convicted of three felony gun counts. >> ashley, we talked a lot about how millions of americans understand these kinds of difficult m

and whatever you're addicted, it's very subjective.re people do think that if you do take adderall and ritalin as prescribed that it makes you an addict. it's all subjective. their people who have very clearly serious problem and he's just having a good time. we know that guy. it's very subjective. and so very interesting because we've not heard anybody weigh in on that at all. to me that's the clear thing there. >> greg: it's an argument for or against free will. because he's basically saying you don't have free will when you're making these choices. rounded up for us. >> we're missing the major point here. >> again. >> we're all being set up because we know exactly what can happen. they're going to arrest the ghost writer for lying. he didn't write that [ bleep ]. he was high. when he bought the gun he was high. he was not an addict he was [ bleep ] high when he got the gun. then the have somebody come out, one of the constituents to let us know that what we just found out is crack is actually the missing part of the food chain. we'l

and things have happened when he was in the grip of addiction. so yes, of course it is personally hard for the president, but i would also note he's somebody who has shouldered a lot of personal tragedy and difficulty while also juggling being in public office, he lost his son, beau to brain cancer when he was vice president. obviously his as you mentioned at the top has his first wife and baby daughter were killed in a car crash just weeks after he was elected to the senate. so he has spent his entire life in public service shouldering challenges, difficulty holding his family close, but simultaneously executing the duties of the office isn't being able to put to put his work first two. so i think his resilience, i think will really be on display for people over the next few months. i think you saw a little bit today, frankly, when he was speaking at the gun safety event, he was lively. he was engaged. he was clearly talking with a lot of passion about the work he's done on gun safety and talking to them the crowd. so i think i think the america

his candor about his battle with addiction used against him in court. after the verdict today, hunter biden seen leaving the courthouse holding his wife's hand and holding the first lady's hand, as well. jill biden was there every day but one as her son was on trial. tonight here, we take you inside the jury room. two jurors, and what they revealed to abc news. that the jury at first was split right down the middle on whether to convict. so, what changed overnight, deliberating two hours this morning and then convicting on all counts. tonight, president biden issuing a statement, saying, "i am the president, but also a dad. jill and i love our son and we are so proud of the man he is today." adding that so many families who have had loved ones battle addiction understand the feeling of pride seeing the person you love coming on the other side. so, tonight here, what does hunter biden now face at sentencing? dan abrams is standing by. andterry moran interviewing those two jurors and what they revealed. terry is at the courthouse in delaware. >> reporter:

a drug addict now. and right now because of that, hunter biden's case is not going to be one at the trial court level. it will be one at the appellate court level. >> but let's on that question. >> i'm calling it i'm going to call it gray area if you will, and maybe it's not, but this matters because biden's defense team has wanted to lean into this argument that hunter biden did not think he was an addict at the time that he was buying the gun, one of the questions on the federal form, you have to fill out involves this question. >> are you an unlawful user of or addicted to illegal drugs? how much gray area? for you do you see in that? >> that's a tough one because first of all, that means hunter is going to have to take the stand good luck with that. >> and they did. and john mentioned this and it's critical. they got hurt. the defense got hurt in two ways. just now. yeah. number one, they can't call an expert basically to talk about well, was hunter thinking at that time since he completed rehab? i'

hunter is accused of hiding the fact of his drug addiction when he bought a colt in 2018.ug addicts cannot buy or possess firearms and for their offense, not only can they be fined 750. they can avoid punishment, even if they are found guilty, they may not be convicted. the trial is being held as loyal as possible to the first family of delaware. well, if they accuse hunter of her, dad will in accordance with american law , he can always understand, forgive and pardon his son, this is literally the news of the last minutes, the jury has reached a decision on the verdict in the case against the son of the american president, but the verdict is unknown. today, it is in the hands of a jury of six men and six women to decide the fate of hunter biden, the first child of a sitting american president to face criminal charges. many members of the presidential family were present in the courtroom during the hearings. this is not proof - he said in his closing statement, prosecutor leo weiss. this is not proof, he said , adding that no one is above the law. a special counsel accuses

it's about drug addiction. it's about misbehavior during drug addiction it's the one here is about purchasing a gun and legally there's another one in california about not paying taxes and how this will redound to the president is very difficult. he released his statement this morning saying on the president, but i'm also a dad and i'm proud of my son for the way he's battled with his addiction and survived it and continues to survive it. so it's very difficult to say, but i spoke with someone close to the president who said, he doesn't care he's going to, he's going to continue to bring his son close to him. >> and political ramifications be he's been steadfast in them even i think when some close to him worry that perhaps it could affect him, but it really hasn't deterred the president. i wonder if in some cases could this actually create some, i mean, just look at the jury questions, potentially jury questions about addiction do you think this might actually create some kind of sympathy at all? >> it could.

throes of that addiction. two, that ag garland gave him the space and the authority to pursue and prosecute this case and three, that the united states judicial system is fair. >> no one in this country is above the law. everyone must be accountable for their actions. even this defendant. however, hunter biden should be no more accountable than any other citizen convicted of this same conduct. the prosecution has been and will continue to be committed to this principle. >> while many have said that this is a sad day for the bidens who like so many american families have grappled with the consequences of addiction, it is still a good day for the united states. that this conviction is a prime example of the way our judicial system is supposed to work. even president biden saying in a statement that he would respect the outcome of this case, repeating what he told abc news last week. >> will you accept the jury's outcome, their verdict, no matter what it is? >> yes. >> have you ruled out a pardon for your son? >>

a recovering addict.e issue. on the flip i thought the prosecution did what they needed to do when they started with the first witness. you hearing from hunter's own voice that he was a addict and a abuser. >> so you think it is a good strategy? it seems like the defense is spending a lot of time focusing on the fact he is a addict. >> that is ultimately where you have to go, you cannot dispute he filled it out, you cannot deny it. what is the situation? are you a addict at the time according to the statute? that is a vague statute, similar statutes have been questioned recently. i will add this, marijuana is a controlled substance on the federal level so if somebody is addicted to marijuana, if you use it three times a day, doesn't mean all of those people should be prosecuted? clearly there is a issue here. >> where do you see this trial ultimately going? >> it will be a hard left for the defense, it is one where you keep on hammering he is not a addict in that moment. he did not believe he was a addict

one now of addiction, and i suspect this is not the last will be hearing about this. in fact, we do expect the special counsel, david weiss actually making a statement about this case in a matter of moments to stick with cnn, there's so much more breaking news begin to and the hours ahead, thanks for joining inside politics, cnn news central starts right now we're starting with breaking news, guilty on all charges a jury in delaware convicting president biden signed on hunter on all three federal gun charges that he faced in this trial. >> the decision pretty swift deliberations lasting just under three hours. >> the jury ultimately determined that hunter biden broke laws designed to keep drawing rug users and attics from owning guns. this is historic, it's the first time the child of a sitting president has ever been convicted in federal court. >> and at any moment we are set to hear from special counsel, david weiss. >> he oversaw the hunter biden investigation, which also includes his federal tax case, which is yet to be adjudicated in california. let's get to cnn'

are you now an addict?is not whether you have been six months or two days ago or five days ago or when you last used drugs. are you an addict? it is a vague issue, a big concern. but a vague concern, a real concern that the statute and paperwork was not clear. >> jeremy, thank you so much. >>> when we come back, call it the a.i. election. if you thought the threat of misinformation was bad in the 2016 election, just wait until you see what artificial intelligence can do in 2024. we have that when the 11th hour continues. continues. to help reverse the four signs of early gum disease. a new toothpaste from parodontax, the gum experts. hey, everybody. w. kamau bell here. they say that america is the land of the free. but right now, people in the u.s. are seeing their freedoms taken away at an alarming rate. freedoms some of us take for granted. the right to vote. equal access to health care. book banning and other forms of censorship that threaten our right to learn. and here's something truly shocking, right

about how addiction was not defined and how was i to know?to underscore the baloney that that defense argument is, especially in front of 12 people who have personal a close personal connections to others who have gone through this. the controlled substances act has been enacted since 1970. the druggie's act since 1968. so prescribing firearm possession from an attic and then the definition of a controlled substance addict, it has been apart for decades and decades. even before his father entered government service, and the prince was born. so, any argument that he didn't know better i wasn't aware if ross flack and the lapse of those good people at that jury that has had personal experiencl justice system or people in similar possession as well. >> you mentioned that some of the members knew someone who had substance abuse issues, i want to hear what we are going to hear from david weiss. your predictions from the prosecutors here. >> jeanine: the interesting part of this is if you had about 12 jurors who had a connection to drugs or family

to and using drugs and knew he was addicted, but defense did poke holes. i think perhaps successfully, but we'll see into sort of the timing. >> does he need to be doing it? on the de are just this idea that he's addicted on the de is enough. >> it's the latter. i the defendant tried to the defense lawyers tried to say, well, if he's not doing drugs at the moment fills out the form because it's present tense. right? the defense are abbe lowell made it made a big deal about it says are are you meaning now it's a little bit like bill clinton is there a relationship? >> we're now in the unknown, we're in the great black box of our jury process. >> we don't know what they're doing back there. they could be back with a verdict in an hour. they could be back with a verdict later today. hey, they could take till the end of the week. we just don't know. i do think this is a case i agree with elliott. i think he's pretty clearly guilty under the a reasonable take on the evidence, but there's also a lot of reason here why a jury may just say, we don't like this char

recovering sex addict?vering drug addict, recovering sex addict, sure. >> byron: wife laura sharing her darkest moment. what was the lowest point for you? >> i think the lowest point was -- can i talk about that? >> byron: and the reasons she decide to stay. in the mid-2010s, carl's public profile reached its peak, extending all the way to hollywood, baptizing justin bieber. >> there was a night where he wanted to renew his faith, he wanted to get baptized again. one of the most powerful things i've been a part of. >> byron: pastor lentz popping up on talk shows like "the view." >> you really don't look like any pastor i've ever seen. >> byron: interviews with oprah. >> i don't believe in some ambiguous, like the wind blew and you're like, oh, the holy spirit. i believe there's -- >> it's a thing, it's a power, it's a force. >> it's god moving in your life. >> byron: how did it hit you, being known as a celebrity preacher? >> you shrug your shoulders. it is what it is. you can't control what people call you

when donald trump talked about addiction, was your reaction? i was a big issue. >> i worked on this. it was and it's the one big policy issue that they worked on together. and shone with great results. we got the overdose deaths down in this country to the first time in 29 years. and i think it's an achievement that president trump should trump it when he's out there because talk about an indiscriminate epidemic pick the drug crisis affects everyone and gentlemen, 18 to 45 euros in this country, the number 1 killer is fentanyl, think about that for the moment. this affects everyone, we called the crisis next door and by the way his brother died at the age of 42 alcoholism. and for the president to express that many times in the dining room to other victims of drug crises. he also would say, it's not a moral failing. if the disease. and we did so much that was accomplished that he accomplished i know focus again, i hate to tell everybody but hunter biden's father is never gonna focus on the drug crisis and speaking, let me just say this. we sell

but you know what else is also true, not everyone commits a crime who is an addict.o one is above the law. including i would imagine, since his son is someone, it would be his son. if you commute, and wipe away the sentence, and time potentially for his son, because it is not a pardon is a commutation. if you fix it for hunter, are you going to fix it for every other addict out there who went to jail, using drugs, for whatever crimes they committed as head of violent crimes of course? is that his son, obtaining a weapon in the state of which we know he was from the witnesses in the case, including ex-girlfriends, one of whom went through the truck and found the gun and try to hide it from the public unsuccessfully? do you think in that situation that the president can stand out from god and say i will fix it for hunter but not for anybody else, i think he hudson politically and he must keep his mouth shut, and must act like he trust the justice system because 48 hours ago he did. >> there were articles saying that people are fearing that president biden will be distr

i knew always going to use in that case is addiction or the throes of addiction as is reasonable excuse but if i remember correctly, the outstanding balance was somewhere north of $1 and that's more taxes and most people pay maybe you a lifetime. so my thought is in and again, the sentencing on those cases is increased by the amount of loss. so i think that's much more significant devours the defense team. it can do away with one over the other, do away with california. try this case because even if he's convicted probably not going to jail. but on the other case you are definitely going to jail. >> and the other one if convicted ryan thanks so yeah. i think he's in a very tough situation that most people think he should have pleaded and it's going to be fascinating to see because obviously the timing of that's going to put it right up against the election. >> the impact on the election itself. and of course also on his father thank you all very much. i appreciate it. and next breaking news, trump's appeal to remove fani willis from the georgia case gets a date and this date is crucial

do not say that they are an addict. and the worst moments of their lives in the of addiction, they are not well enough to say that they are one. so, this is a tough one for both sides. >> kennedy this is a sad story. i am personally uninterested in the pictures of hunter biden and the details of his addiction, i really do hope he is better, for him and his family. 70% of americans have an addiction, so they can relate to this but this is not a story of the addiction but accountability. the laptop, we were told that it was not verified and effectiveness. how will this compare to the former presidents trial? the friendly territory for hunter biden, but not for trump, i believe in jury, so a lot of americans view that is not so much on the addiction but the accountability front. >> kennedy: they do, so many people who have suffered, they need to be removed from the active addiction and have a completely different context, take stock of your life, so people will understand that. but it was the bad choices that he made leadi

not so with mental illnesses/addictions.oint, i wanted to get to what is the real life manifestation of these illnesses? simone biles says i have a mental health issue. you don't know what that means in her life. how does she cope? what does her life look like? what is it really like for %2people navigating their personal relationships? we have several couples by the way everyone of the profiles i interview, their family members colleagues and therapist, so we have a really honest truthful transparent reckoning for what it's like in their lives. everyone uses their real names and everything about their stories is incredibly honest. when people read the book they will be amazed that anyone told everything about themselves. ironically the more they tell, the less it becomes them and the more you can distinguish between them as great people and them dealing with horrible illnesses that rob them of who they are as people -- that's why saving people from mental illness and addiction is not just about saving lives, we know about s

you actually can say to yourself for the first time in a few years, i'm not an addict or not addicted. and i presume that's gonna be the strength of their case because even though that atf form it's supposed to be very specific and we all know what addiction is it know what it means. but if the form doesn't tell you what it is, doesn't define adduct. it leaves it open to your interpretation. and unfortunately that's a sliver of hope through which the defense is going to try and put their case to say he really didn't know the problem as aaron just mentioned, his own words are going to convict him if they do the text messages. if family members are going to say they know he was detected and he knew what he was quite. >> and this case here, it could move very quickly. and i wasn't being snarky at the top. and as i said, the judge says she that's going to be five-day core, but there was a message gen. that, right. in other words, there's a wednesday's off, there's no we're giving off every friday because a juror has a flight. this is going to be beginning middle end, possibly very quickly

if you are once an addict, you are always an addict. and part of recovery is understanding that trajectory, that but for the grace of god go you, if you are an addict and in recovery, you remain an addict and capable of falling prey to your addiction yet again. so in playing those excerpts from his book, they were trying to show, no, no, no, hunter biden's self-concept was perpetually as an addict. one of the things that struck me, in the trump trial we saw the former president's books used against him, too. but rather than having those words being used, as you said, as a vehicle for recovery and contrition, those words are defensive, they're almost con -- and he talked about loyalty, revenge against those who had wronged you, micro manage your money and trust no one. that presents a stark contrast with what hunter biden was trying to achieve in his book. >> what happens next? >> sentencing, and we will then hear, through the sentencing process, what each side thinks is appropriate. these are crimes that could lead to a statutory maximu

so you're calling it a series that tells you have to do you think that's addiction? i think that diction. yeah. yeah. all right. uh let me hear from you kathleen, because i know that you actually actively involved in the industry. you work for a betting agency and you what was the best thing. so what's your experience? i see people coming according to the online type, the, they're like, wow, well, you know, it can be, you know, they're yourself, one was used to explore on ridge 202 days. then he won 100 and then the but the bad part of it, it's like when you get that money, you'll be like, let me put the book. then you double i people that these are that you end up losing . so what catherine is describing is very familiar to about 50 percent of the youth in this country who will actually pulled by jill pulling 2021. and that's the number of people who said that the active you, betsy, know, this number might come as a surprise to many people. but what do you see that these appropriate because bending on its own, it's a past same, it's existed for millennia. but why ar
