LA Riots Coming to You Soon?

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 the plight of day laborers lingering in Home Depot parking lots. On the most recent episode of The Drill Down, co-hosts Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers break down these connections and follow the money to Mexican cartels, China, taxpayer-funded NGOs, and even teachers and service employee unions.

Schweizer: Media Still Lying About Biden

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 lies upon lies,” says Schweizer, who exposed the Biden family’s influence-peddling back in 2018. “Even by Washington standards, these are some serious whoppers.”
