The Drill Down with Peter Schweizer

Is DeepSeek really a deep con? A psyop tossed out to shake up the financial markets?The release of a Chinese-made artificial intelligence engine called DeepSeek sent a bulldozer through Wall Street this week. Rival AI companies lost hundreds of billions of dollars in market value after sell-offs, once the new kid came on the block. But as Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers note on this episode of The Drill Down, the timing is suspicious. “This could be a replay of the lab leak back in 2020,” Schweizer says. “We're going to simply discuss the reality of how this thing unfolded, the claims that were made, the claims that are not true.”

On his way out the door of the White House, former President Joe Biden pardoned five members of his family not named “Hunter.” All five – brother James and his wife, Sara; sister Valerie and her husband, John; and brother Frank – were implicated in various influence-peddling schemes just like the previously pardoned Hunter. It was Joe Biden’s last act of loyalty… to his family co-conspirators.

It’s a tale of three attacks. The murderous rampage through the French Quarter, the explosion of a Tesla Cybertruck in Las Vegas, and the fourth anniversary of the Jan. 6 riot at the US Capitol. To a former FBI and Justice department guy like Kenneth Strange, who spent time on the Joint Terrorism Task Force (JTTF), each of those incidents are very different, with unique causes and motives. Strange believes the FBI has lost its way and allowed political pressure to distort how it allocates its resources. He joins Peter Schweizer and co-host Eric Eggers on the most recent episode of The Drill Down.

Pictures make ideas real. And portraits make people real. Artist and photographer Dan Fleuette joins the Drill Down to describe how he creates art through personalities on the political right. A self-described “art school lunatic,” Fleuette was the artist that turned Peter Schweizer’s bestselling investigative book Clinton Cash into both a documentary and even a graphic novel.

Bill and Hillary Clinton were once masters of the “dark arts” of politics – spinning history and enriching themselves while running a global charity that became famous as a grift machine. Their skill even had a name: “The Clinton Blur.” Though long out of office himself, former President Bill Clinton is at it again. “The news for GAI is that Bill Clinton is back,” says author Peter Schweizer, whose 2015 bestseller Clinton Cash exposed the financial shenanigans behind the Clinton Global Initiative. “Bill’s back, he’s mad, and he’s mad at me!”

The cold-blooded murder of United Healthcare CEO Brian Thompson has produced some ugly reactions. Liberal politicians and commentators seized upon Thompson’s murder as an excuse to complain about insurance companies. But their outrage should be directed at the federal government, says Seamus Bruner on the most recent episode of The Drill Down.

Joe Biden’s blanket pardon of his son, Hunter, was really a proxy pardon for the whole Biden family that hamstrings ongoing investigations into Biden family influence peddling schemes, according to Peter Schweizer.In the latest episode of the Drill Down podcast, Schweizer points out that the schemes implicated not just Hunter but Joe himself, his brothers Frank and James, and other members of the Biden family. The pardon, “historically unprecedented” in its scope, is “a stunning acknowledgment of how corrupt this family is,” Schweizer says.

The election was a week ago, and we know a lot. But we still don’t know the results of 17 congressional elections across the nation, half of them in California. On The Drill Down podcast, Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers discuss why California is so far behind other large states in completing the counts of its congressional races. Schweizer notes that the 13th Congressional District has only counted 61.6 percent of its votes, a full week after the election.
