The revelations about China’s “cognitive warfare on America found in Peter Schweizer’s newest book, “Blood Money,” continue to spur action in Washington. In the past week, the House Government Oversight Committee has announced an investigation into China’s ongoing efforts to infiltrate and influence the US.

On this week’s episode of The Drill Down, Schweizer and co-host Eric Eggers speak to Derek Maltz, the former Special Agent in Charge of Special Operations at the Department of Justice and the Chief of the New York Drug Enforcement Task Force.

Former House Speaker John Boehner is one of politicians who cash in after leaving office. In Boehner’s case, he opposed all efforts to legalize cannabis while he was in Congress, then promptly went into business as a pro-marijuana lobbyist, earning millions pushing for legalized pot around the country.

John Boehner. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Young people at our nation’s colleges and universities are not as radical and left-wing as the media would have you believe, but it’s not for a want of trying by woke administrators and radical faculty members.

They joined Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers who guest-hosted Sean Hannity’s radio show this week. In the battle for free speech on campus, both Walker and Corcoran want to go on offense.

As Israel exchanges Palestinian criminals and terrorists for innocent Israelis taken captive by Hamas during the 10/7 massacres, we learned that at least one American was among the freed hostages – a four-year-old little girl named Abigail Edan. Abigail’s parents were murdered by Hamas during the attack. This is welcome news, of course, and President Joe Biden took some personal credit for her release, but there’s an interesting coincidence that the Drill Down’s hosts Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers can’t ignore: Abigail’s great aunt is Elizabeth (Liz) Naftali, a wealthy real estate investor in Los Angeles’s fashion district and a large contributor to the Democratic Party and to the Biden family.
