The Drill Down with Peter Schweizer

by Government Accountability Institute

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.

What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Peter Schweizer will one day have a journalism award named after him. He fearlessly reports verified information you will never hear on the usual Deep State media. He is also non partisan (reports on Biden bribes and McConnell bribes). The podcast has good audio and could benefit from a more detailed notes section to better lure listeners.

MkeY234Z62 · Nov 2024

This is the highest quality podcast I know of. It is fun. The information is top rate. It is concise. I am happy every time I see that a new episode has automatically downloaded onto my phone.

getWisdomP45 · Oct 2024

Full attention required. Peter & Eric (Erik?) pour so much content into each episode that all hopes of multi-tasking go right out the window. Had to replay yesterday’s episode at least ten times.

ElmoDuomo · May 2024

Peter and Eric are far more informed than most talk show hosts. They delve into the workings of our government full time. You will be amazed at what you don’t know about!
