The Drill Down with Peter Schweizer

Doesn’t the Department of Homeland Security have better things to do than police lies posted by users of Twitter? After 9/11, DHS was created to better coordinate America’s defenses against terrorist attacks on the homeland – to promote cooperation among law enforcement agencies and fill in the gaps in domestic security. Yet, today as those threats have receded, the department is in search of a new mission. It has gotten into the business of being “speech police.” On the latest episode of The Drill Down podcast, co-hosts Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers take a look at the Biden administration’s efforts to clamp down on speech they call either “misinformation,” or “disinformation,” or even “malinformation.”

Last year the National Education Association (NEA) and the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) collected approximately $575 million in dues from their members. How did they spend these funds?

While American politicians are pushing the Covid vaccine for American children, other countries are warning against it. In Denmark, the government has actually made it impossible for those under 18 to receive a COVID-19 vaccination without a doctor’s recommendation since children are at such a low risk of symptoms. The Swedish government no longer recommends the vaccine for those under 17 years old. Since September 1, the British government has limited COVID-19 vaccination to children under 12 to just those at high risk.

Why the difference?

On the most recent episode, Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers explain there are two key motivations guiding this: profits and liability protections.

Insider trading by members of Congress and senior officials of the executive branch demonstrate the sort of corruption that enrages voters. Co-host Eric Eggers starts this week’s episode of the Drill Down off with a fitting observation: “Behind every powerful and successful woman… is a husband with incredibly well-timed stock trades.”

As more US states and European countries commit themselves to pushing electric cars, the nagging questions about mining become more pressing. Electric cars need lots of rare-earth minerals. As demand for EVs grows, so does the need to find, mine, and refine these minerals into service. And this leaves a lot of questions, and a lot of room for America’s adversaries to exploit the demand. On the latest episode of The Drill Down, co-hosts Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers talk sense about the problems this creates.

October is election season. Campaigning and early voting are already proceeding across the nation, absentee ballots are in the mail. And election fraud news is breaking. Peter and Eric update us on the latest election fraud news in this week’s episode of The Drill Down.

When the government gives away food money, some of it ends up buying carts full of gold and even supporting terrorists overseas. Peter and Eric detail the criminal waste in the SNAP program.
