Summary

Censorship comes in many obvious forms, but the subtler type works by not showing you things that the censor doesn’t want you to see, or making it much harder for you to find them yourself. That, according to psychologist and Big Tech researcher Dr. Robert Epstein, is what Google is doing every day, but especially around election time. For the past eleven years, Epstein has studied what he called the “search engine manipulation effect,” by monitoring how Google uses its vast storehouse of knowledge of individual to bias the results of searches done by its users. He and his team monitor how Google’s search algorithm weights and ranks the results of searches done of its search engine, which controls an overwhelming 93% of the online search market. His findings strongly suggest that Google is cooking its search results in favor of Democratic candidates and liberal causes that the company supports, and he has the receipts to back it up.

0:00.0	Research that resonates.
0:05.0	Schweitzer has not been wrong on any of his years and years of reporting on the Bidens.
0:12.0	Investigations that matter.
0:14.0	If your last name wasn't Biden, do you think you would have been asked to be on the board of Burisma?
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 fired. 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
0:40.8	Drill Down where we relentlessly expose cronyism, corruption, and the abuse of power. My co-host is always
0:47.3	Eric Egerz. How are you? I'm wonderful, Peter. How are you? Excellent. Well, we've got a very
0:52.2	interesting topic today. There's been all this debate.
0:55.8	There's been all this legal action about election and interference, right?
0:59.2	You've got the allegations made by Team Trump that the election was stolen at the battle box, at the ballot box.
1:06.1	You have, on the other hand, now legal charges being brought against Donald Trump claiming he was
1:11.2	trying to interfere in the election. Well, our guest today says, yeah, okay, that may or may not be
1:16.9	going on, but there's something far more important going on when it comes to election interference.
1:21.2	And that's actually where and how we process the information that we receive. Yeah, I think it's maybe
1:26.8	the biggest story that we
1:28.3	don't talk about enough. The idea of election interference has been elevated in the wake of the
1:32.6	January 6th trials. And now obviously Donald Trump has his famous mugshot. But the person that we're
1:38.0	talking to today is actually someone we've worked with for the last five years. He's older than me,
1:42.9	but I sort of feel like a proud father.
1:44.5	You know, we worked together. We drew him out and we elevate him in the documentary, which
