Experts are on a run of bad luck lately. Climate change predictions, Covid vaccine promises, jobs statistics, and economic analysis of the effect of the Trump administration’s tariffs.What’s the problem with the experts? Do they really know what they say they know? Do they know how much they don’t know?

July 16, 2025 • 29 mins
Marking the first anniversary of the attempted assassination of Donald Trump in Butler, Pa., the US Senate released two reports on failures by the Secret Service failures both during and prior to the attempt.

Schweizer: Feds have had Epstein list since 2019

July 9, 2025 • 36 mins
Whatever the truth may be about Jeffrey Epstein’s suicide or “client list,” he was engaged in the business of human trafficking and that leaves a paper trail. As Peter Schweizer noted on the most recent episode of The Drill Down podcast, Investment bank JP Morgan Chase turned over the records it had, worth over 1 billion dollars, to the federal government in 2019. Why haven’t those records been released? “We have more than $1 billi...

Trump's Disruption of Foreign Policy Ends Iran's Nuclear Threat

June 25, 2025 • 28 mins
President Donald Trump just blew up Iran’s nuclear program. That was the easy part. What Trump has done in arranging a tenuous ceasefire between Iran and Israel, after hammering the table with 14 MOPs dropped on Iran’s most critical underground nuclear enrichment plants, is “a return to 19th Century Great Power projection,” says author and investigative reporter Peter Schweizer on the most recent episode of The Drill Down podcast....

Schweizer: No Kings Lesson For Leftist Billionaires – You Can’t Buy an Uprising

June 17, 2025 • 28 mins
No Kings? No problem. The weekend protests called “No Kings” produced crowds of a few thousand in some reliably “blue” cities like Portland, Boston, Seattle, and others, but not much else. Tragically, though, a killer who was once a political appointee of Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz shot and killed the former state House speaker and her husband and seriously wounded a state senator and his wife – and killed his dog – in an act of polit...

LA Riots Coming to You Soon?

June 11, 2025 • 25 mins
As the riots raged in Los Angeles, four things became clear – LA’s leaders are feckless; foreign money is behind the rioters; protesters are expressing a soup of different grievances, and all this may happen elsewhere. As with the BLM riots in 2020, the LA disturbances are not spontaneous or chaotic. They have been planned, supported, and even staffed by activist organizations whose goals have nothing to do with immigration law or ...

Schweizer: Media Still Lying About Biden

May 21, 2025 • 30 mins
While recent news of former President Joe Biden’s dire cancer diagnosis certainly inspired sympathy, it also has raised suspicions about the timing and motivation of the disclosure. As Peter Schweizer notes on the most recent episode of The Drill Down, the lack of honesty about Joe Biden’s health and the media’s coverage of it extends even to a new book by Jake Tapper of CNN and Alex Thompson of Axios. “We have lies upon lies upon ...

Schweizer: Even for non-Catholics, the Next Pope Matters

April 30, 2025 • 27 mins
Even for non-Catholics, the pope is a figure of world significance who can affect politics in every nation around the globe, as Francis, the first pope from Latin America, clearly did. On the latest episode of The Drill Down, hosts Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers of the Government Accountability Institute avoid theology but instead follow the money the church received from the Biden administration, and it leads to the church’s role...

Harvard Fights to Discriminate

April 22, 2025 • 25 mins
The Trump administration’s fight with elite universities might be its toughest yet because it’s about money—federal research funds that have been given to major universities for decades. On the most recent podcast of The Drill Down, host Peter Schweizer approves of the effort: “We say that’s a good thing.” President Donald Trump’s budget hawks seek to cut wasteful spending, but that is only part of their goal. What they really want...

Billy Long at the IRS

April 16, 2025 • 27 mins
No one likes tax time, but one fresh character might offer at least some entertainment. Former congressman Billy Long of Missouri, who famously deployed his skills as a professional auctioneer on the House floor during a debate, is President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the Internal Revenue Service after its acting director Melanie Krause resignation over the administration’s effort to use tax information to identify people in the c...

The Real Issue Behind the Tariffs

April 8, 2025 • 27 mins
President Donald Trump unveiled a full slate of eye-popping tariffs on countries large and small last Friday, and the reactions over the weekend have been intense. Welcome to “Tariff Panic Week.” Many people have noted the precipitous drop in the stock market and their own IRAs since the tariffs were announced. One reporter who questioned Trump aboard Air Force One over the weekend even asked him whether he’d call off the tariffs i...

MAHA, Pharma Ads, and Soda

April 2, 2025 • 24 mins
What do Big Pharma ads on TV and Diet Coke have in common? Both are targets of Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., the new head of the Health and Human Services department. In his early efforts to press the “Make America Healthy Again,” Kennedy has singled out two seemingly different issues: those ubiquitous television ads for pharmaceuticals, and whether people on federal food assistance programs should be able to buy soda and junk food on th...
