Schweizer: Is Tim Walz a Fellow Traveler?

Schweizer: Is Tim Walz a Fellow Traveler?

Author: Government Accountability Institute August 14, 2024 Duration: 31:00
Democratic vice-presidential candidate Tim Walz has for years embellished his military service in the National Guard, as reports based on statements from those who served with him have shown. There are also lingering questions about Walz’s long history of association with the Communist Party of China (CCP). Now there are new questions about the investment activities of Minnesota’s state pension fund under Walz’s leadership. Peter Schweizer, host of The Drill Down podcast, and co-host Eric Eggers, review the “troubling questions” on the most recent episode.

In The Drill Down with Peter Schweizer, investigative research meets candid conversation. Hosted by the cofounder and president of the Government Accountability Institute, this podcast goes beyond the headlines to examine the mechanics of power, corruption, and influence. Peter Schweizer brings a unique perspective shaped by his work as the author of detailed exposés like "Clinton Cash" and "Throw Them All Out," and his analysis has been cited everywhere from the "New York Times" to "60 Minutes." Here, he applies that same rigorous, document-driven approach to the stories shaping our world. Each episode is a deep dive, pulling apart complex political and financial webs to understand not just what happened, but how and why it happened. The discussions are grounded in the institutional research mission of the Government Accountability Institute, focusing on facts over rhetoric. You'll hear Schweizer break down current events, interview other experts and investigators, and connect present-day scandals to broader, systemic patterns. It’s a show for anyone who suspects there’s more to the story and wants a guide who knows how to follow the evidence. Tune in for a clear-eyed, often unsettling, but always substantive look at the forces that truly drive decisions in Washington and beyond. This isn't about partisan talking points; it's about the underlying structures and transactions, offering listeners a different lens through which to view the news.
