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 exposed cronyism, corruption, and the abuse of power in Washington, D.C.

I'm joining you today from a remote beach location. That means somebody has to be mining the

store back home, and that, of course,

is Eric Eggers. And this happens to be his birthday. Eric, how are you doing today? Well, I feel,

you know, just like I did on the day of my birth, abandoned by the people that love me, Peter. Thank you.

It's great to be here. Well, we know you're going to suffer through, as you always do.

Now, Rick, I want you to think about the current debate that we're having about this

debt ceiling bill that has been passed by a large majority in the House and in the Senate

and signed by President Biden.

And I want you to imagine if you had your uncle's credit card

and you can spend whatever amount you wanted without consequence, what's your first buy?

Right. It's a great question. It's a flawed premise, though, because it was my uncle's credit

card, it's probably stolen. So the consequences, regardless of the nature of the purchase, would be severe and swift. But I think that it's probably stolen. So the consequences, regardless of the nature of the purchase, would be

severe and swift. But I think that it's an excellent premise in terms of the conversation we're

having about the United States debt and our deficit and our spending problem, because it does

seem like we don't have our uncle's credit card. We have everyone's uncle's credit card. We have the U.S. taxpayer credit card, and they don't appear to be concerned about the consequences of whatever they rack up, despite the fact that we now have alleged this new era of fiscal responsibility. I mean, isn't that what we've been told this debt ceiling compromise is? Is it not, is austerity not the name of the game now?

Have we not rained it in?
