The Drill Down with Peter Schweizer
Government corruption doesn't announce itself. It hides in shell companies,foreign contracts, and campaign finance filings that nobody bothers to read. The Drill Down does the reading.
The weekly podcast The Drill Down is hosted by Peter Schweizer, New York Times bestselling author of Clinton Cash, Secret Empires, Red-Handed, Blood Money, and The Invisible Coup. Co-hosted with GAI Vice President Eric Eggers, the author of Fraud, the show follows the money trails behind Washington's biggest scandals: foreign influence operations, CCP capture of American institutions, insider deals, and election integrity failures. Every episode breaks down a real investigation, the paper trail behind it, and who benefits.
No spin. No talking points. Just the documents, the disclosures, and exposing the people who would prefer you didn't know about it.
New episodes weekly from the Government Accountability Institute.

Election fraud – even the suspicion of it – is poisonous to democracy. That is the stated reason why Fulton County District Attorney Fani Willis is bringing a case against former President Donald Trump in Georgia under the anti-racketeering statute known as RICO that was written to go after criminal gangs.

Former House Speaker John Boehner is one of politicians who cash in after leaving office. In Boehner’s case, he opposed all efforts to legalize cannabis while he was in Congress, then promptly went into business as a pro-marijuana lobbyist, earning millions pushing for legalized pot around the country. So, fresh off spending the holidays watching sports and all the commercial tie-ins for legalized sports betting, Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers open the first episode of The Drill Down for 2024 by asking, “Who is the ‘John Boehner’ of legalized sports betting?”Turns out it’s . . . John Boehner.

Young people at our nation’s colleges and universities are not as radical and left-wing as the media would have you believe, but it’s not for a want of trying by woke administrators and radical faculty members.That’s the take of New College of Florida president Richard Corcoran and former Wisconsin governor Scott Walker. They joined Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers who guest-hosted Sean Hannity’s radio show this week. In the battle for free speech on campus, both Walker and Corcoran want to go on offense.

As Israel exchanges Palestinian criminals and terrorists for innocent Israelis taken captive by Hamas during the 10/7 massacres, we learned that at least one American was among the freed hostages – a four-year-old little girl named Abigail Edan. Abigail’s parents were murdered by Hamas during the attack. This is welcome news, of course, and President Joe Biden took some personal credit for her release, but there’s an interesting coincidence that the Drill Down’s hosts Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers can’t ignore: Abigail’s great aunt is Elizabeth (Liz) Naftali, a wealthy real estate investor in Los Angeles’s fashion district and a large contributor to the Democratic Party and to the Biden family. How?

The people who want you to “just eat the bugs” are controlling more than you think. Some call them “global elites.” But author Seamus Bruner offers a better description for them: Controligarchs. Bruner exposes the billionaires who control the levers of power that dominate every aspect of your life. He joins Peter Schweizer and co-host Eric Eggers on the latest episode of The Drill Down podcast to discuss fake meat, patented seeds, and the dark forces who are profiting from the world’s blind rush towards a “greener future.”
