| 10/14/26 | The Air Force Set a Goal for Fewer White Officers | Ep. 290 | President Trump signed Executive Order 14151 on his first day back in office. The order shut down federal DEI offices, froze equity grants, and ended the minority set-aside schemes where a front owner holds 51% of a company on paper. Rep. Sarah McBride wants the old system back. Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers track what changed. In 2022 the Air Force set a goal to cut white officer applicants from 80% to 67.5%, and Gen. CQ Brown co-signed the memo. Once the quotas ended, all five active-duty branches hit their FY2025 recruiting goals. At Ivy Plus schools, Black enrollment fell 25% after race-conscious admissions ended, while Black freshman enrollment jumped at the University of Mississippi and LSU. United Airlines set a goal of 50% women and people of color for its pilot academy. The FAA now requires airlines to certify merit-based pilot hiring. The episode closes on the federal search of Rep. Ilhan Omar's home and why a colorblind standard means equal scrutiny for every public official. (00:00) Where DEI stands now (01:34) Day one: Executive Order 14151 (04:14) Rep.

| 10/8/26 | From Obama.com to ActBlue: 14 Years of Foreign Cash | Ep. 289 | ActBlue told Congress it required a passport number from donors with foreign addresses. Internal messages released by three House committees show the check confirmed only the number of characters. Fraud reviewers flagged mismatched IP addresses, foreign credit cards, and links to rejected accounts, then approved the money anyway. One supervisor overturned a rejection because the donor's X account supported Democrats. Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers walk through the emails, ActBlue's choice to put DEI goals ahead of fraud prevention, and foreign money cases touching campaigns from Jeb Bush to Zohran Mamdani. They trace the story back to 2012, when GAI found Obama.com owned by a campaign bundler living in China and drawing two thirds of its traffic from overseas.

| 9/29/26 | Big Tech Wants Rules for AI. Small Rivals Pay the Price. | Ep. 288 | Anthropic and OpenAI plan IPOs. Their leaders also warn of killer robots and ask Washington to regulate them. Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers ask who profits from the rules. Investor Steve Eisman says the AI labs face open-weight competitors, have no lasting edge, and manufacture a crisis to write regulation in their favor. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang asks why executives who fear their own product rush to raise money. Peter compares the push to Dodd-Frank, which some of the largest Wall Street firms backed and which drove out small competitors unable to afford compliance. The hosts play President Trump, Brad Gerstner, and Bill Gates, who calls new AI law "a little bit of overhead." They cover data center power use and local opposition, Eric's figure of more than $300 million in AI company spending on the 2026 midterms, and OpenAI's purchase of the TBPN podcast. They close on tech leaders who praised China for years and now cite China as a threat to win support in Washington.

| 9/24/26 | Xi Purged His Top Generals Days Before Flying to Washington | Ep. 287 | The press covers President Trump as the weak party at this week's U.S.-China summit. Low polls, gas prices, Iran. The coverage leaves out what Xi Jinping did on his way to Washington. Days before the trip, Xi expelled two of China's top generals, Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli, for disloyalty to the party. Zhang served as vice chairman of the Central Military Commission and ranked among Xi's closest allies. The purges leave the commission with two active members: Xi and the man running his investigations. More than 45 Chinese generals and admirals have gone missing in two years. Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers lay out the numbers Beijing stopped publishing. China's economy is on pace for its slowest growth since 1991. Total debt sits near 300% of GDP. Domestic car sales fell 20% from a year earlier. Housing sales fell 14%. Business confidence and real estate data went dark. Then the agenda. Trump wants help on Iran. China, the largest backer of the Iranian regime, lost its discounted oil from Iran and Venezuela and has drawn down its reserve for six months. On AI, Peter walks through the COVID record: the NIH grant terms, the Wuhan lab biosafety protocols, the WHO access commitments. China signed each one and broke each one. An AI agreement with Beijing binds the United States and nobody else. (00:00) The press says Xi is strong and Trump is weak (01:55) Summit protocol and the purge the media ignored (04:09) 45 generals and admirals missing in two years (05:49) Xi's father tried to poison his teacher (07:49) Beijing stops reporting its own economic data (08:46) China's debt hits 300% of GDP (10:42) Trump gets called a dictator. Xi gets Disney. (12:50) China broke every COVID agreement it signed (15:26) Why China needs Hormuz open more than we do (17:42) China is an enemy. Talk, but don't trust.

| 9/15/26 | Mississippi Passed California in Reading. Here's the Law They Wrote | Ep. 286 | American students fell three quarters of a school year behind in reading and math between 2018 and 2025. They now trail China, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, the UK, Canada and Australia. The skills dropping fastest are the ones the AI economy rewards: evaluating sources, connecting information, thinking critically. Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers walk through three reports released this month. PISA found "hasty reading" has doubled, with nearly 10% of students now reading fast and wrong. The Thomas B. Fordham Institute found 76% of high schoolers use school devices for something other than school every day, and 26% use AI during quizzes and tests. The GAO found 19% of districts closed a school last year over a plumbing failure, a flood, or a 110-degree classroom. Then there's Mississippi. Long ranked at the bottom, it copied Florida's third-grade reading law, set a passing threshold students have to clear, and tested new elementary teachers on the science of reading. Mississippi now ranks ninth in the country in reading and sits well ahead of California. The countries holding their scores steady share one trait: stricter device discipline in the classroom.

| 9/10/26 | 9/11 Families to New York's Mayor: Do Not Come | Ep. 285 | Twenty five years after the towers fell, the men who planned the attack are dead and al Qaeda's command structure is gone. Peter Schweizer argues the war never ended. It changed method. Osama bin Laden believed you beat the Judeo-Christian West by punching it in the face. The Muslim Brotherhood disagreed with the tactic and agreed with the goal. Their alternative is civilizational jihad: immigration, political organization, elected office, cultural pressure. No explosives required, and no moment of national alarm to trigger a response. Start with the cost of the first method. 9,677 first responders and survivors have since died of 9/11 related illness, according to federal figures. More than 57,000 documented cancer cases trace back to the toxins released by the burning and collapsing towers. Firefighter Tim Brown was invited to 21 funerals in a single day. The attack itself ran roughly $100 billion in damage, insurance, cleanup and lost business. The war it launched ran $10 trillion, by Brown University's estimate, near 35 percent of the national debt at the time. The Department of Homeland Security was announced 11 days later. Then look at New York. Mayor Zohran Mamdani signed the city's 9/11 commemoration order and handed the ceremonial pen to a legal aide who had represented an al Qaeda member held at Guantanamo Bay. Victims' families collected 101,000 petition signatures asking him to stay away from the 25th anniversary ceremony. Council member Vickie Paladino told him to stay in City Hall. Hezbollah's newspaper in Lebanon called his election good news for Islamists and floated him as a future Secretary of Homeland Security. Schweizer draws the line where the episode draws it. The issue is not faith. Zuhdi Jasser, a former Navy physician running in Arizona, is Muslim, loves the country, and names the radicals out loud. The issue is a worldview: officials who defend the goal while softening the method, and a Democratic Socialists of America apparatus giving them a party structure to run in. CAIR reports a record 255 Muslim elected officials now serving across 26 states. Eric Eggers closes on the intelligence failure of 2001. The CIA and the FBI each held a piece and nobody assembled the picture. The pieces are on the table again.

| 9/2/26 | Inside the Meta Settlement: No Admission, No Zuckerberg, No Trial | Ep. 284 | Meta settled the state lawsuits over teen harm for $12.6 billion, spread across ten years. Its outside lawyers get roughly $10 billion. On a present-value basis, the law firms collect more than the states do. A month earlier, the states behind the case sought permission to ask a jury for $1.4 trillion in damages. The final deal admits no wrongdoing, keeps Mark Zuckerberg off the witness stand, and sunsets its safety commitments after five years. Florida refused to sign. Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers break down what Meta bought, what the trial would have exposed, and why the attorneys general folded. A former Meta engineer testified he sent Zuckerberg internal data showing teens encountered violent or graphic content at rates up to 400 times higher than the company admitted publicly. None of it reached a jury. Then follow the money. OpenAI, Google, Meta, and Amazon have given more than $2 million to attorney general campaigns since the start of last year, including $200,000 from Meta to each party's AG association in a single quarter. Meta is spending an estimated $65 million this year to back state politicians friendly to its industry. Compare it to tobacco. In 1998, 47 states won $200 billion. Meta pays 12 to 18 billion, admits nothing, and gets a clause raising its payment if YouTube, TikTok, and Snapchat make their own products less attractive to kids.

| 8/26/26 | 7,800 Donations From One 85 Year Old: Inside the Democrat Spam Machine | The Drill Down | Ep. 283 | Democrats trail Republicans in cash by nine figures. The DNC reported $16 million on hand against $17.9 million in debt. The RNC reported $130 million. Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers follow the money filling the gap, and most of it comes from senior citizens. A Stanford researcher spent eight months preparing an investigation for The New York Times. Fact checkers cleared it. Lawyers cleared it. Then the Elias Law Group sent cease and desist letters on behalf of Democratic committees, and the paper walked away. What the research found: a spam text pipeline built to squeeze a captive pool of elderly donors. An 85 year old man in Oxford, Ohio gave 7,800 times, nearly $650,000, more than double the value of his house. A 90 year old woman in an Indiana senior living facility gave more than 25,000 times, $250,000 in total. Fewer than 1% of Democrat donors account for almost half of the $1.4 billion these PACs have raised since 2017. One network alone pulled in $390 million. Most of the money never reaches a candidate. It recycles back into the fundraising operation. Hakeem Jeffries shows the shift in one chart. In 2018, his average donor was 54 and 21% were 65 or older. This cycle, his average donor is 73 and 86% are senior citizens. Then the midterm ledger. Ripple and Coinbase sit at the top of $230 million in special interest spending, ahead of Big Tech and Wall Street. FanDuel and DraftKings make the top six. George Soros has given more than $102 million this year. AIPAC drew headlines for $30 million behind Haley Stevens in Michigan, while the money moving against her opponent's opponent stays far harder to trace: a $200,000 super PAC check from Abdul El-Sayed's father-in-law, an Islamic Society of North America figure; $25,000 from an Egyptian American activist sentenced to life in absentia; $115,000 tied to people affiliated with the Council on American-Islamic Relations.

| 8/19/26 | Birth Tourism & Fake Weddings: How China Buys American Citizenship | The Drill Down | Ep. 282 | Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers track three fronts in China's campaign against American immigration controls, and the officials in Washington who look away. Trump signed two executive orders on August 6, narrowing his birthright citizenship push to birth tourism and surrogacy. Five days later the same coalition from Barbara v. Trump went back to the same judge for a restraining order. Brett Kavanaugh already signaled a pathway for limiting 14th Amendment abuse, so the left should not assume a win at the Supreme Court. The Justice Department charged a network selling green cards through fake weddings. Chinese nationals paid facilitators up to $100,000. Facilitators paid American citizens up to $30,000 to stand at the altar. One prenuptial agreement instructed the bride never to speak to the groom again. Then there is Mexico. Former Mexican tourism official Simón Levy published a report on how Mexicans are manufactured in Mexico. Civil registry employees took $4,000 per migrant to forge birth certificates for Cuban, Haitian and Chinese nationals. Mexico deleted the database field recording when a passport was issued in 2021, so the forgeries are untraceable. A Mexican passport drops your US visa refusal rate by 49.5 points. A Chinese national in Beijing becomes a Mexican citizen, then walks into the United States under a new name. The declassified Swalwell file closes the loop. Eric Swalwell admitted a physical relationship with Chinese intelligence asset Fang Fang. She placed interns in his office and laundered money into his campaign. He joked to friends his girlfriend worked for the Chinese CIA. He stayed on the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, and Nancy Pelosi kept him there. The FBI, which the committee oversees, kept trying to recruit Fang Fang and never moved on Swalwell.

| 8/6/26 | One Third of Democrats Now Call Themselves Socialists | Ep. 280 | Abdul El-Sayed won Michigan's Democratic Senate primary, and his own party's establishment spent roughly $83 per vote trying to stop him. Haley Stevens had the governor, Jim Clyburn, AIPAC money, and most of the state's Democratic leadership behind her. She lost anyway. Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers go through what that result says about where the Democratic Party is headed. The DSA is 85 percent white and 4 percent black by its own membership surveys, a black-led advocacy group put $2 million into ads warning that its agenda threatens decades of progress built by black Americans, and one third of Democratic voters now tell CNN they identify as Democratic socialists. The DNC is carrying debt and borrowed against its own headquarters while left wing superPACs stay flush with Soros money. Schweizer's read: nobody in the party is going to confront the socialists, because Democrats cannot retake the Senate in November without holding that Michigan seat. 00:00 A socialist wins Michigan and the party has to live with it00:55 The first DSA statewide win outside New York and California02:17 $83 a vote for Stevens, $40 a vote for El-Sayed, and she still lost02:58 Why there will be no Sister Souljah moment this time04:22 The Teamsters are gone and the unions that replaced them are left wing07:39 Elite overproduction and the $150,000 comparative lit degree09:48 The DSA is 85% white, 4% black, and losing black voters12:00 Clarence Thomas on who hands out your rights15:02 The DNC is broke while the left wing superPACs are flush17:43 The 2028 calendar, the Michigan AG, and a cider house that apologized The Drill Down is the flagship podcast channel of the Government Accountability Institute.

| 7/28/26 | CODE RED: The AI That Broke Out and Hacked a Tech Company | Ep. 279 | An OpenAI model sat inside a sealed testing environment with one job: pass a cybersecurity exam. It decided the fastest route to the answers was to break out of the sandbox, get onto the open internet, and hack Hugging Face, the central repository for AI models. No human directed it there. Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers sit down with Wynton Hall, GAI distinguished fellow and author of the New York Times bestseller "Code Red: The Left, the Right, China and the Race to Control AI," to explain what actually happened and why it will keep happening. Also in this episode: the quarter of a billion dollars flooding into the midterms over one question of who writes the AI rules, why Anthropic's push for regulation looks a lot like Goldman Sachs and Dodd-Frank, how California can set AI policy for Florida and Idaho without a single federal vote, the universal basic income groundwork being laid before the job losses arrive, and whether China is stealing its way forward or genuinely out-innovating us. | 33m 23s | ||||||
| 7/23/26 | 278,000 Noncitizens on the Rolls: What DHS Just Found | Ep. 278 | Donald Trump's recent speech on election integrity, followed by a Department of Homeland Security briefing, generated more heat than light. But what was actually revealed? Peter and Eric cut through the rhetoric to examine the real findings: Over 270,000 noncitizens identified on voter rolls from limited state data—a number likely much higher China's breach of at least 18 states, accessing voter files across the country (covered up by intelligence agencies) Why states resist cleaning voter rolls and how federal pressure is escalating The media's failure to cover the story and what it reveals about institutional accountability Listen & ExploreThe Drill Down - https://thedrilldown.com/Peter Schweizer - https://www.peterschweizer.com/Government Accountability Institute - https://accountabilityinstitute.org/ Follow the ShowX - https://twitter.com/TheDrillDown1Facebook - https://facebook.com/TheDrillDownwithPeterSchweizerInstagram - https://instagram.com/drilldownwithschweizerYouTube - https://youtube.com/@TheDrillDownRumble - https://rumble.com/c/DrillDownwithSchweizer/ Follow Peter SchweizerWebsite - https://www.peterschweizer.com/X - https://twitter.com/peterschweizer Follow Government Accountability Institute:Website - https://accountabilityinstitute.org/X - https://twitter.com/Govt_Acct_InstFacebook - https://facebook.com/GovernmentAccountabilityInstituteInstagram - https://instagram.com/govt_acct_instituteYouTube - https://youtube.com/@governmentaccountabilityin2277Rumble - https://rumble.com/@GAI | 24m 32s | ||||||
