Research that resonates.

Schweitzer has not been wrong on any of his years and years of reporting on the Biden's.

Investigations that matter.

If your last name wasn't Biden, do you think you would have been asked to be on the board of Burisma?

I don't know. I don't know. Probably not. But that's, you know, I don't think that there's a lot of things that would have happened in my life that if my last name wasn't fired me. The only entities, the only people that would report on this, and Peter Schweizer, who deserves a Medal of Freedom in my view. This is The Drill Down with Peter Schweitzer. Hi, this is Peter Schweitzer and welcome to the

Drill Down, where we relentlessly expose cronyism, corruption, and the abuse of power in Washington,

D.C. seated by my side is Eric Eggers, the co-host of this program. So, Eric, I have to ask you a

very basic, fundamental, but

philosophical question. Okay. And I asked this question, knowing what your work desk looks like.

But given all the events in Washington, D.C., the chaos that's there, where do you stand on the

I'm just going to keep fighting harder and I'm going to overcome. And he did. You know, Rocky won against the Russians in 15 rounds. Speaker McCarthy wins against some of the Russian props of Congress in 15 rounds. Come on. This is an all-American tale. Yeah, well, that's one way you could put it. Yeah. That's not the way generally people in the media establishment have looked at it or the way that certain political leaders

have looked at it.
