The Drill Down with Peter Schweizer
Hosted by Government Accountability Institute · EN
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.
Hosted by Peter Schweizer, New York Times bestselling author of Clinton Cash, Secret Empires, Red-Handed, Blood Money, and The Invisible Coup, and Eric Eggers, author of Fraud and GAI Vice President, the show follows the money behind Washington's biggest scandals: foreign influence operations, CCP capture of American institutions, insider deals, and election integrity failures. Each 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 the people who'd rather you didn't look.

2d ago00:24:32Tap to summarizeDonald 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 Listen & Explore The Drill Down - https://thedrilldown.com/ Peter Schweizer - https://www.peterschweizer.com/ Government Accountability Institute - https://accountabilityinstitute.org/ Follow the Show X - https://twitter.com/TheDrillDown1 Facebook - https://facebook.com/TheDrillDownwithPeterSchweizer Instagram - https://instagram.com/drilldownwithschweizer YouTube - https://youtube.com/@TheDrillDown Rumble - https://rumble.com/c/DrillDownwithSchweizer/ Follow Peter Schweizer Website - https://www.peterschweizer.com/ X - https://twitter.com/peterschweizer Follow Government Accountability Institute: Website - https://accountabilityinstitute.org/ X - https://twitter.com/Govt_Acct_Inst Facebook - https://facebook.com/GovernmentAccountabilityInstitute Instagram - https://instagram.com/govt_acct_institute YouTube - https://youtube.com/@governmentaccountabilityin2277 Rumble - https://rumble.com/@GAI

2w ago00:26:35Tap to summarizePolitical 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.
Transcribe →Birth Tourism Wins at the Supreme Court
3w ago00:24:10Tap to summarizeThe 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.
Transcribe →American Patriotism or Socialism?
Jun 2300:25:25Tap to summarizeAmerica 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?
Transcribe →Iran Sent an IRGC Commander to the World Cup?
Jun 1800:27:54Tap to summarizeMore than a million people are coming to America this summer for this year’s World Cup soccer matches. It’s “sports tourism.” At The DrillDown, 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.”
Transcribe →Schweizer: “Is it still election fraud when it’s legal?”
Jun 1000:28:27Tap to summarizeCalifornia’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?”
Transcribe →”Defund the Data”: The Secret Amendment That Could Blind Fraud Investigators Forever
Jun 200:27:20Tap to summarizeThey 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 Andy McClanahan 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. Subscribe at TheDrillDown.com
Transcribe →The DNC Tried to Bury This Report — Here’s Why
May 2900:23:55Tap to summarizeAs 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.
Transcribe →Schweizer: Gerrymandering is as old as the United States
May 2100:27:20Tap to summarizeWith 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.
