| 0:00.0 | Research that resonates. |
| 0:05.8 | Schweitzer has not been wrong on any of his years and years of reporting on the Biden's. |
| 0:12.4 | Investigations that matter. |
| 0:14.4 | If your last name wasn't Biden, do you think you would have been asked to be on the board of Oisema? |
| 0:19.0 | 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 fighting. 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 |
| 0:40.2 | Drill Down, where we relentlessly expose cronyism, corruption, and the abuse of power in Washington, |
| 0:45.8 | D.C. I'm joined as always by Eric Eggers, who's an author and vice president here at the |
| 0:50.9 | Government Accountability Institute. We are going to dissect the recent midterm |
| 0:55.8 | elections. We have a very special guest with us here to do it. That's Jason Chafetz, former |
| 1:01.0 | member of Congress, former head of the Oversight Committee in the House of Representatives. |
| 1:06.0 | We want to dissect the election and then talk about oversight and the process of oversight and how it |
| 1:12.5 | might look with a new Republican majority. But Eric, at this point right now, it's still |
| 1:16.6 | questionable if the Republicans will have a majority in the House and how big or small it |
| 1:21.3 | might be. Yeah, somewhat historically unprecedented for Republicans to not pick up any Senate |
| 1:26.0 | seats two years into a fairly unpopular, according to |
| 1:28.9 | polling Democratic president. That's not what happened to Bill Clinton. That's not what happened to |
| 1:32.8 | Barack Obama. It does look like, I think, in fact, as of today, NBC is projecting that the Republicans |
| 1:38.3 | will take the House by maybe the slimmest of majorities. And so that conceptually means that Republicans |
| 1:43.8 | will have the House and they'll have oversight committee. And it's funny, you know, I know Jason's a family man, but when you say he was in charge of oversight, like that makes me think he's an excellent parent, right? Like, he clearly knows how to pay attention to you and make sure the right things happen all the time. Well, I think what we're probably going to do at some point is have his kids on. I'm going to do a podcast on Jason's oversight abilities when they were children. But Jason, |
| 2:04.4 | we want to get to you, get your take on the midterm elections, what they mean, some very interesting |
| 2:09.8 | numbers. I mean, there was an expectation that there was going to be a big red wave. And if you |
| 2:15.2 | look at the raw voting numbers for the House of Representatives at least, |
