Peter and Eric return to the topic of COVID-era restrictions on the most recent episode of The Drill Down with more proof that when the government rushes to do things, it becomes a loose cannon. “March madness” for most people might refer to the college basketball tournament, but the madness of the restrictions thrown on Americans to control the CO…

When Peter and Eric open this week’s show by talking about balloons and popcorn, you might be imagining wide-eyed little children at the county fair, not a sneaky communist regime committing economic and military espionage on America.

Two things are worth remembering when you read about the long fight to elect a House Speaker. First, the dissenters were a mixed bag of principled conservatives and publicity hounds. Second, some good came out of the repeated voting to select Rep. Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) as the new leader of the House. On the most recent episode of The Drill Down, ho…

On this week’s show, Peter and Eric discuss the recent prisoner swap of basketball player Brittney Griner for a Russian arms dealer known as “The Merchant of Death.” Is a former Olympic medal-winner and LGBTQ activist worth unleashing one of Russia’s most notorious weapons purchasers?

The mood and the time are right to forgive those bad decisions – but on the most recent Drill Down episode, Peter and Eric reflect on what went wrong in America’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic as the first step to granting forgiveness…

“A massive crash and burn.” That is how Peter Schweizer describes the collapse of crypto-currency billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried and his ill-fated company, FTX.

Doesn’t the Department of Homeland Security have better things to do than police lies posted by users of Twitter?

Yet, today as those threats…

The Swedish government no longer …

Insider trading by members of Congress and senior officials of the executive branch demonstrate the sort of corruption that enrages voters.

As more US states and European countries commit themselves to pushing electric cars, the nagging questions about mining become more pressing. Electric cars need lots of rare-earth minerals. As demand for EVs grows, so does the need to find, mine, and refine these minerals into service. And this leaves a lot of questions, and a lot of room for Ameri…
