    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. 

    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.

    New episodes weekly from the Government Accountability Institute.

    In the DOGE era, the Pentagon holds all the (credit) cards Mar 05, 2025
    Show notes

    “Tooth and tail.” That’s the phrase new defense secretary Pete Hegseth uses to describe how money is spent (and wasted) by the Pentagon. It captures the difference between spending money to support warfighters and spending it on the mushrooming support operations that are supposed to keep the troops ready.


    DOGE is more than tough love Feb 26, 2025
    Show notes

    In the annals of government reform efforts, the efforts of Elon Musk and his task force of DOGE techies are more than tough love. Because the so-called Department of Government Efficiency has (mostly) been given access to the books of government agencies, it has spotted billions of dollars in questionable grants, make-work programs, and outright gifts to politically connected activists who provided political support to their government paymasters. On the most recent episode of The Drill Down, hosts Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers discuss a few examples, but also address a deeper question: “So what?”

    Schweizer: DoGE, ”Big Balls,” and the End of the World (As We Know It) Feb 12, 2025
    Show notes

    “Big Balls,” Chris Coons and a “constitutional crisis.” For out-of-power Democrats and many in the press, the pace of Donald Trump’s new administration has them shouting, “It’s the end of the world as we know it!” Drill Down host Peter Schweizer and co-host Eric Eggers feel fine, but as Elon Musk’s small posse of DoGE analysts, including a 19-year-old hacker who goes by the name of “Big Balls” online, continues to find large examples of fraud and wasteful spending in federal agency budgets, Eggers suggests another song by the band R.E.M. for angry Democrats: “Everybody Hurts.”


    FoodBabe: FDA Was Captured By Big Food Feb 05, 2025
    Show notes

    As the nomination of Robert F. Kennedy Jr. goes to the full Senate, healthy food activist and entrepreneur Vani Hari is thrilled by the attention his focus on “Making America Healthy Again” is getting.

    Through her blog, called FoodBabe, she and has been a relentless advocate for healthier, safer products from America’s largest food companies, and frustrated by the capture of the Food and Drug Administration by lobbyists for Big Food.


    Schweizer: Is China’s DeepSeek a Deep Con? Jan 29, 2025
    Show notes

    Is DeepSeek really a deep con? A psyop tossed out to shake up the financial markets?

    The release of a Chinese-made artificial intelligence engine called DeepSeek sent a bulldozer through Wall Street this week. Rival AI companies lost hundreds of billions of dollars in market value after sell-offs, once the new kid came on the block. But as Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers note on this episode of The Drill Down, the timing is suspicious. “This could be a replay of the lab leak back in 2020,” Schweizer says. “We're going to simply discuss the reality of how this thing unfolded, the claims that were made, the claims that are not true.”


    Comer: AG Pam Bondi Could Nail The Bidens Jan 23, 2025
    Show notes

    On his way out the door of the White House, former President Joe Biden pardoned five members of his family not named “Hunter.” All five – brother James and his wife, Sara; sister Valerie and her husband, John; and brother Frank – were implicated in various influence-peddling schemes just like the previously pardoned Hunter. It was Joe Biden’s last act of loyalty… to his family co-conspirators.

    Schweizer: The Only Opinion on TikTok That Counts is China's


    Uncorrupting the FBI Jan 08, 2025
    Show notes

    It’s a tale of three attacks. The murderous rampage through the French Quarter, the explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck in Las Vegas, and the fourth anniversary of the Jan. 6 riot at the US Capitol. To a former FBI and Justice department guy like Kenneth Strange, who spent time on the Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF), each of those incidents are very different, with unique causes and motives. Strange believes the FBI has lost its way and allowed political pressure to distort how it allocates its resources. He joins Peter Schweizer and co-host Eric Eggers on the most recent episode of The Drill Down.


    The Right Wing’s Outlaws – Captured as Art Dec 23, 2024
    Show notes

    Pictures make ideas real. And portraits make people real. Artist and photographer Dan Fleuette joins the Drill Down to describe how he creates art through personalities on the political right. A self-described “art school lunatic,” Fleuette was the artist that turned Peter Schweizer’s bestselling investigative book Clinton Cash into both a documentary and even a graphic novel.
