    Obama’s Coup
    Jul 23 2024
    President Joe Biden’s mysterious announcement ending his campaign for re-election invites comparisons to the politics of 1968, but Peter Schweizer sees another comparison – to the politics of 2008. Schweizer calls it the “Obama coup” on the most recent episode of The Drill Down podcast. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Schweizer: “Heads Have to Roll”

    Schweizer: “Heads Have to Roll”
    Jul 16 2024
    On the most recent episode of The Drill Down, Schweizer and co-host Eric Eggers agree that Secret Service Director Kimberly Cheatle should be fired. The attempt on Trump’s life this past weekend in Butler County, Pennsylvania exposed the failure of Trump’s Secret Service detail to properly secure the venue where Trump spoke. Five minutes into his speech, shots were fired from the roof of a building just 150 yards from the dais, and Trump’s life was spared likely because he had turned his head to point at a screen just as a bullet was fired. The Secret Service has come under universal criticism for not guarding that building. “Heads have got to roll,” Schweizer said. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • Fail to the Chief

    Fail to the Chief
    Jul 10 2024
    As Biden dead-enders battle with Democrats trying to push the President off of the Democratic ticket, investigative journalist Peter Schweizer says he’s seen enough: “Joe Biden will not be the Democratic nominee,” Schweizer says on the most recent episode of the Drill Down podcast. “He will be forced to step down by the big money.” Schweizer and co-host Eric Eggers, fresh from guest-hosting Sean Hannity’s radio show, note the pledges of loyalty to Biden from left-wing Democrats such as Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez of New York contrast sharply with rising voices of ten party moderates in Congress, many of them senior members, calling for Biden to step aside. Sen. John Tester (D-MT), who is in a tough re-election fight this Fall, is among those calling for Biden to pack it in. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

  • The Mumble that Shook the World

    The Mumble that Shook the World
    Jul 2 2024
    After President Joe Biden’s disastrous performance in the debate last week, Democratic politicos have been frantically gaming out alternatives to a Biden candidacy against former President Donald Trump. The media wing of the Democratic Party, shocked by Biden’s feeble performance, has editorialized for the 81-year-old Biden to step aside. Once-reliable media mouthpieces such as Joe Scarborough of MSNBC, who just weeks ago told his viewers that the octogenarian was “the best Biden ever,” walked it all back the morning after the debate and glumly observed, “if [Biden] were CEO, and he turned in a performance like that, would any corporation in America keep him on as CEO?” Learn more about your ad choices.

  • Woke Boeing has Abandoned Excellence

    Woke Boeing has Abandoned Excellence
    Jun 27 2024
    Boeing Co. has had more than its share of struggles in the past few years. The airplane and aerospace manufacturing giant has become a national joke owing to quality problems on its commercial aircraft that resulted in bolts missing or loose on cabin doors and other mishaps. Most recently, Boeing is being called to account by Congress for problems related to the Starliner, which recently got stuck at the International Space Station. For Peter Schweizer, host of The Drill Down, Boeing’s problems are personal. He grew up in the Seattle area, where his father, an immigrant from Switzerland, worked as an engineer at Boeing for more than 30 years designing wing flaps and the hydraulic components that operate them. Boeing in the 1970s and 1980s was a different company, before its merger with aerospace company McDonnell-Douglas, but he remembers a proud company pursuing excellence and innovation in everything it did.

  • Illegal Immigration as Election Tampering, with Kris Kobach

    Illegal Immigration as Election Tampering, with Kris Kobach
    Jun 19 2024
    Two connected news stories from the past week show how illegal immigration into the United States is changing the country, and that the Biden administration seems to want it that way. Mexico’s National Institute of Migration reported this week that between January and May of this year, nearly 1.4 million undocumented immigrants from a staggering 177 countries traveled through Mexico to the United States. At the same time, the Biden administration announced a new policy that will grant legal protections to about 500,000 illegal immigrants already in the United States against deportation, if they are spouses of citizens.

  • Hunter Biden Convicted

    Hunter Biden Convicted
    Jun 12 2024
    The big news this week was Hunter Biden’s conviction by a Delaware jury on three federal felony gun charges. For Peter Schweizer, though, that looks more like pulling over a bank robber to give him a speeding ticket. The jury took three hours to agree on guilty verdicts for all charges in what proved a cut-and-dry case. Hunter Biden bought a gun, then lied on the background form by checking “no” when asked if he was a drug user, and possessed the gun while addicted to crack cocaine. The judge said Hunter, the son of President Joe Biden, will be sentenced within the usual 120 days, which would fall prior to the November election. Learn more about your ad choices.
