Research that resonates.

Schweitzer has not been wrong on any of his years and years of reporting on the Bidens.

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. 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.

560. That's amazing. 560. And how long have you been doing this? We incorporated in 2013.

In 2013. So you've been doing this? We incorporated in 2013. In 2013.
