Despite Joe Biden’s mumbling and stumbling, the checkered pasts of brothers Frank and James Biden, and the lurid, embarrassing details found on Hunter Biden’s laptop documenting his drug addictions and frequenting of prostitutes, the Biden family “actually run a very sophisticated and, I would argue, criminal enterprise that is designed to extract wealth and to leverage Joe’s power, but to keep him at arm’s length so that it is harder to connect him to it,” says investigative journalist Peter Schweizer. The Biden family got rich by leveraging Joe’s rising political power while keeping him at arm’s length from the lucre, Schweizer says on the most recent episode of The Drill Down podcast. Alex Marlow is his guest.

The massacre of more than 1,300 Israelis by Hamas terrorists still outrages most of the world. The focus on Hamas, Hezbollah, and their deep ties to Iran exposes the brutality of all three, and Israel’s fearsome, ongoing response enjoys broad support.

Founded by former President Bill Clinton and his wife, former Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, the foundation put its annual “Clinton Global Initiative” on a hiatus for a few years when their relevance ebbed and fundraising dried up, but their scandal-plagued charity has returned with a plan to provide humanitarian relief to warn-torn Ukraine, complete with a benediction from Pope Francis. The Clinton Foundation’s shady dealings were exposed in 2015 by Peter Schweizer in the bestselling book Clinton Cash: The Untold Story of How and Why Foreign Governments and Businesses Helped Make Bill and Hillary Rich.

Censorship comes in many obvious forms, but the subtler type works by not showing you things that the censor doesn’t want you to see, or making it much harder for you to find them yourself. That, according to psychologist and Big Tech researcher Dr. Robert Epstein, is what Google is doing every day, but especially around election time.For the past eleven years, Epstein has studied what he called the “search engine manipulation effect,” by monitoring how Google uses its vast storehouse of knowledge of individual to bias the results of searches done by its users. He and his team monitor how Google’s search algorithm weights and ranks the results of searches done of its search engine, which controls an overwhelming 93% of the online search market. His findings strongly suggest that Google is cooking its search results in favor of Democratic candidates and liberal causes that the company supports, and he has the receipts to back it up.
