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.

An OpenAI model sat inside a sealed testing environment with one job: pass a cybersecurity exam. It decided the fastest route to the answers was to break out of the sandbox, get onto the open internet, and hack Hugging Face, the central repository for AI models. No human directed it there.
Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers sit down with Wynton Hall, GAI distinguished fellow and author of the New York Times bestseller "Code Red: The Left, the Right, China and the Race to Control AI," to explain what actually happened and why it will keep happening.
Also in this episode: the quarter of a billion dollars flooding into the midterms over one question of who writes the AI rules, why Anthropic's push for regulation looks a lot like Goldman Sachs and Dodd-Frank, how California can set AI policy for Florida and Idaho without a single federal vote, the universal basic income groundwork being laid before the job losses arrive, and whether China is stealing its way forward or genuinely out-innovating us.

Donald Trump's recent speech on election integrity, followed by a Department of Homeland Security briefing, generated more heat than light. But what was actually revealed? Peter and Eric cut through the rhetoric to examine the real findings:
Over 270,000 noncitizens identified on voter rolls from limited state data—a number likely much higher
China's breach of at least 18 states, accessing voter files across the country (covered up by intelligence agencies)
Why states resist cleaning voter rolls and how federal pressure is escalating
The media's failure to cover the story and what it reveals about institutional accountability

Political parties may soon make a comeback. A new Supreme Court decision “could fundamentally change the equation in American politics,” says Peter Schweizer about a Supreme Court decision on campaign finance. “This will allow the parties to have more influence and more direction on who their nominees are,” he says.

The Supreme Court’s decision in the birthright citizenship case is “a monumentally terrible decision,” says author Peter Schweizer, whose latest bestseller exposed China’s efforts to exploit birth tourism on an industrial scale. In Trump v. Barbara, The Court this week threw out President Donald Trump’s executive order to federal immigration agencies not to automatically grant citizenship to every child born to a foreigner on US soil. The decision, although expected by many, is absolutely terrible for American sovereignty, Schweizer believes.

America is about to celebrate its 250th birthday, but some left-wing Democrats plan to skip the party. “When you forget who you are, it’s easy to be talked into becoming something else," says GAI’s Eric Eggers. A new CNN poll found surprising support among Democrats for socialism, with 66 percent of those surveyed saying they have a positive view of socialism, compared with a minority – 42 percent – saying the same about capitalism and the free market system, a flip of their sentiments from 15 years ago. Is this caused by their hatred for President Donald Trump and his populist turn, or is it a longer-term trend?

More than a million people are coming to America this summer for this year’s World Cup soccer matches. It’s “sports tourism.” At The Drill Down, however, host Peter Schweizer is more interested in stopping what he has called “birth tourism.” “The Trump administration announced actions against networks in Africa that were designed to provide birth tourism,” Schweizer says. “This is where foreign women, wives or girlfriends of people in these countries are sneaking into the United States to give birth so their child will be born a US citizen. We have exposed this as it relates to China, Russia, Turkey, and other countries. But this is a positive development – exciting news.”

California’s glacial counting of primary election votes is a feature, not a bug. The state’s election laws are deliberately designed to make elections as untraceable and lengthy as possible. As author and investigative journalist Peter Schweizer asks, “If you make election fraud legal, is it still fraud?”

They caught $200 billion in fraud — now Congress wants to take away the tools that found it.
Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers are joined by fraud investigator Andrew McClenahan to expose a buried amendment that would ban federal agencies from buying the data they use to hunt criminal fraud networks. Critics call it the "digital defunding of the police."
Plus: a $14B Russian Medicare bust, the IRS keeping your biometrics while fraud cops get cut off, and Washington State chaos — a ballot box that exploded, 360 blank ballots in a dumpster, and voter cards where 92% of names were Chinese.
Take away the data, and investigators go back to a notepad and pencil. Here's who benefits.

As America approaches its 250th birthday, the media insists we're hopelessly divided and on the brink of a second Civil War. Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers ask the question nobody in Washington wants answered: is that actually true — or is someone profiting from making you believe it?
In this episode, Peter and Eric dig into the leaked DNC "autopsy" of the 2024 election — a 152-page report so damning that DNC chair Ken Martin tried to bury it before releasing it anyway. Wait until you hear what its "conclusion" section actually says. Plus: why Trump now owns the Republican Party outright, why the Democrats' biggest names can't win back rural America, and the foreign adversaries quietly funding the chaos.

With important mid-term elections coming in November, “the latest rage in politics is cracking and packing,” says Peter Schweizer. “Gerrymandering is in the news right now,” says co-host Eric Eggers on the most recent episode of The Drill Down. “Cracking is when you spread out your opposition's voters into different districts. Packing is the reverse of that – when you pack your opponent's voters into a single district.” They discuss the long history of politicians trying to choose their own voters.
