Research that resonates.

Schweitzer has not been wrong on any of his years and years of reporting on the Biden's.

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, I'm Peter Schweitzer and welcome to the Drill Down,

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

Seated by my side is Eric Eggers, the co-host. He is the vice president here at the

Government Accountability Institute and author of the 2018 book, Voter Fraud. You know, I think it's really funny how you always seem to bring up my book that came out four years ago. And it did highlight many vulnerabilities and shortcomings, both in terms of election integrity and incentive structure issues that helped them being exploited. But just funny, you kind of bring it up all the time. Why is it funny that I bring it up? Well, I hate to say this because now I think you've officially mentioned my book on this podcast more often than the number of people who actually have read it. Well, I'm sorry, but does that bother you? No, I'm obviously over it. I'm definitely no, I'm clearly not over it. Lots of internal scarring and trauma. But as I like to do, I like to put things at a charitable frame, look at things in a positive way. My own brokenness allows me to have a certain level of empathy for other people that write or do, I think, notable things that don't get the attention and to claim they deserve. And I think that's actually something that's happened recently. Oh, that's, that's amazing. So this has had a humbling effect. This is good, because you do need

humbling. And we're going to talk today. Oh, the free market humbled me. And today, we are

going to talk about a really interesting subject. We talk about conflict of interest all the time, right?

And when you think of conflict of interest and you

think of corruption in Washington, D.C., you think of the lobbyists. You think of the guys with the

cigar-filled rooms in the back room, the guy in the nice expensive suit, the politician who is

grifting, who's getting his family members hooked up. We're going to talk about conflict of interest

in a little different sort today in Washington, D.C. We're going to talk about people in white lab coats.

We're going to talk about people that are part of the scientific establishment that guide

our health care policy and the issue of conflict of interest as it applies there.

And not just people in white lab coats, but also Chinese pig farmers. So it's important that we remember that we're talking about both entities. And they're connected. And they are connected. And that's the key. How is people in white lab coats and a Chinese pig farming company connected? And the answer is hundreds of millions of dollars. That's right. That's exactly right. We're going to look at two separate

parts of it today. The first one is the flow of money that is going into the scientific medical

establishment and the effect that that might have had on some very important decisions that were

made early on during COVID, specifically the question of the origins of this lab leak.

We're going to sort of dissect and look at the flows of money from this sort of sketchy Chinese company to Harvard Medical School.
