Peter Schweitzer is with me, president of the Government Accountability Institute, senior contributor to Breitbart News. multiple time New York Times number one bestselling author and host of the Drill Down podcast, which I absolutely love.

They think that cutting government waste to all sorts of transgender initiatives in foreign countries is what Americans want right now. I think they're nuts, but they're trying to make it seem like Musk is infringing on people's privacy and getting private stuff and Uh, it is essential for us to fund, you know, trans Sesame streets all over the world.

I don't totally get their take, but do you feel like they've got anything here? And what's your personal opinion of how Doge is going so far?

Yeah, this is exactly right. And this is why I'm completely obsessed with the Stacey Abrams NGO that started with $100 and somehow had $100 in 2023 and somehow got $2 billion in 2024. Peter, I understand how this isn't just a monumental, earth-changing scandal. It feels like the sort of thing that if Andrew Breitbart was alive, he would have spent...

every day for 90 days, just talking about this and only this until everyone got the picture. And I feel like we just moved on from it. I asked Lee Zeldin, who's the EPA administrator about it, because I guess it went through the EPA for this environmental fund, about this on my Alex Marlow show yesterday. And he told me he's working with the FBI and the DOJ to investigate.

But I mean, who knows if we're gonna get the bottom of this? Did that one jump out at you as a bad one? Were there any lowlights for you thus far, the DOJ's uncovered?

Peter, this is such an important point that you made also that I think this money is going to those AstroTurf town halls that we're seeing popping up. I think this is about electioneering. It's not just about handouts and moneymaking. I think it's even deeper than that. It's about creating a permanent structure for these Democrats.

Peter, I gotta leave it there, but let me plug all your stuff. GAI, the Drill Down podcast, all Peter's books are essential. We love Peter Schweitzer. Thanks, Peter.

Today is a big day because it's the sort of State of the Union. And the White House has sent me some highlights of what we're anticipating. We're not going to bigfoot Trump here. So these are going to be roughly what we're looking at. But the theme of the speech is the renewal of the American dream. There's breaking news here on The Charlie Kirk Show.

Four main parts of the speech can be broken out into four parts as far as we know. Trump is going to review his accomplishments from his first months. And I've got a long list of what those are. And a lot of them are going to be border related. A lot of them are going to be things like stop hospitals not giving out puberty blockers, banning men from women's sports.
