Research that resonates.

He's the president of the Government Accountability Institute, Peter Switzer.

Peter Schweitzer. Peter Schweitzer. Peter Schweitzer has spent many years.

In fact, probably done a more comprehensive job than anyone's ever done,

chronicling the corruption by the powerful in Washington. Be very prescient, Eric Eggers.

Join me right now is Government Accountability Institute Research Director, Eric Eggers.

We're going to take information that we've learned, that people like Peter Schweitzer have uncovered,

and we're going to try to go further.

Great investigative reporting, Peter. You're the only one doing it. Thank God.

Eric Eggers from the Government Accountability Institute and co-hosts of that great podcast, The Drilled Down with Peter Schweitzer.

This is The Drill Down with Peter Schweitzer.

Hi, it's Peter Schweitzer and welcome to The Drill Down. Well, from the halls of Montezuma to the streets of L.A.

The Marines have landed in the city of Angels. They are there to help local law enforcement and federal law enforcement keep the peace.

What actually happened in L.A. and where is it going? We're going to unpack that today, the coast of the program course is Eric Eggers.

Eric, how are you? I'm excellent. I thought you're going to do a different chant that I think is making its way throughout Southern California. From the valley to the 10, Los Angeles will be theirs again, I think. It seems to be. Is that a real thing? No, I just made it up. But it's not bad, right.

It's very good.

And I just want to be very clear.

As we're going to discuss? It's very good.

So if you like the kind of chanting or slogan manufacturing styleings of Eric Eggers, you know, hit me up later. You can find me on social media. Yeah. Well, I tell you, this is a really interesting story because there's a lot of information that's being put out by mainstream media, some people on the right, some people on the left that I think have failed to capture what's really going on here. And so we're going to unpack it. We're going to be driven by facts, by research, by information. We want to explain sort of what triggered all

of this. How did we get to these riots happening? The second thing is looking at who's actually

involved on the street. And the final question is, where is this actually going? Is this just going to

die out or is this something that we can expect to see more of in the future? So let's start first of all with what started all of this, what triggered all of this.
