•Jan 31, 20264 months agoSummary
Peter Schweizer reveals how foreign governments (China, Mexico) and organizations (Muslim Brotherhood, Hezbollah) are orchestrating anti-ICE protests and immigration activism in the U.S. to destabilize American cities and shift political power. The episode examines the Alex Freddie case in Minneapolis as a microcosm of weaponized immigration and discusses China's industrial-scale exploitation of birthright citizenship through surrogacy and elite migration.
Insights
- Foreign state actors and radical organizations are systematically funding and organizing street-level protests to create political chaos, not organic grassroots movements
- States like California and Minnesota resist immigration enforcement due to political incentives: illegal immigrants boost census counts, increasing congressional representation and federal funding
- China has created an industrial surrogacy and birthright citizenship scheme generating ~100,000 U.S. citizen children annually who are raised in China and will vote in U.S. elections within years
- The 'red-green alliance' between Marxists and Islamists is a marriage of convenience to destabilize Western civilization, with each side planning to eliminate the other post-victory
- Emotional narratives and AI-enhanced imagery are weaponized to bypass critical thinking and drive policy changes that benefit foreign adversaries
Trends

Full Transcript
Alex Pretty was the confirmation Liberals needed to show the world that Trump is indeed Hitler, and that fascists are killing their political opponents. But nothing is as it seems. Peter Schweitzer, the author of the book The Invisible Co, reveals a stunning finding from his investigation. Many of the protests taking place all over the country right now are puppeteered by the Chinese Communist Party, the Muslim Brotherhood, and even the Mexican government. We've got all of that in much more in this eye-opening episode of Relatable. Hey guys, welcome to Relatable. Happy Friday. Hope everyone is having a wonderful week so far. The episode or the interview that we're about to play for you is so incredibly mind blowing. But before we get into it, I want to give an update on what's going on in Minneapolis. Specifically with Alex Pretty. Now if you've been listening to the past couple of episodes, if you've been following on social media, you know who this man is. This was a man who was a VA nurse who was impeding a law enforcement operation with ICE, and he was tragically killed by ICE. And there has been a lot of discussion and conflict surrounding what actually happened. Was this a justified shooting or not? I've gotten lots of pushback from some people for saying we still don't know all of the facts surrounding what happened. And that is true. There are multiple camera angles, but we still don't know everything the officers saw and heard in that moment that may have made them feel like their life and other people's lives were at risk. So we're going to wait to see the results of those investigations. But one thing that we now know not to be true was that he was just a peaceful bystander. That is the caricature that we have seen described over the past several days by people in the media, by online activists, to say that he was just standing there with his phone, wanting to cause no problems at all, and that he was completely unjustifiably targeted by ICE. We can have an issue with how his life was taken, but to paint that kind of picture, we now know is just not true. So this footage was released from 11 days prior to Freddie losing his life that seems to show Freddie. We're saying seems to show because while this has seemingly been verified by outlets like the BBC, I still can't see his full face. He's got the same sunglasses in hat on, but their media outlets verifying that this is, in fact, Alex Freddie. So here is this person agitating law enforcement very aggressively days before he was killed. Let's play sought three. This is a moment the news movement filmed on January 13th in Minneapolis, showing a man who appears to be Alex Freddie interacting with federal immigration agents 11 days before patrol shot and killed him. We also know from a separate report that Alex Freddie had suffered a broken rib several days prior to being killed. And it looks like if you watch the rest of this video that that was probably from this interaction after he kicks the tail light out of the vehicle of ICE, one of the officers gets out and tackles him to the ground, which is justified by the way, and that is probably where he got injured. But not only is he taunting law enforcement in this way, he is also blatantly saying assault me. Here's not to. Okay, so this is why I say we just don't know all of the facts and the extenuating circumstances surrounding when he was killed. Obviously, this person had been very aggressively agitating ICE for several days. Did they have their eye on him knowing that he was a powder keg that could exploded any moment? Had they seen how he acted and how he spoke and the threats that he made for several days that made them think, okay, we've got to watch this guy because he is on edge and we have a very good reason to believe that if armed, he would harm us. And is there a good reason to believe that they would be skeptical of someone who is carrying a gun with two extra magazines to a demonstration like this? Is there a good reason for them to believe that he actually was a threat? Do you have the right to carry a gun? Yes, in a lawful way, he didn't have his license on him at the time. So that is unlawful in the state of Minnesota, but you do have a second amendment right to carry a gun. Do you have a first amendment right to protest? Yes, but this was not a protest. He was a protesting out there in the street. He was trying to impede, completely justified and valid law enforcement operations. I still say there is a question of whether that specific shooting at that time was just justified, but I'm not going to buy into the narrative that is being pushed upon us. This is something that progressives do a lot. They not only say, hey, this was wrong. What happened to George Floyd in this moment was wrong, but then they also venerate these people. Almost to the place of being these perfect saints. We actually saw that. We talked about that on Wednesday, the weird AI enhancement of Alex Freddie and we can put that up. We've got the picture on the right that MS now MSNBC and other outlets were showing and then we've got his actual picture on the left. This really was displayed on MS now and the link was going around to the YouTube segment and then they ended up editing out this AI enhanced photo that they had been circulating and other outlets had been circulating. It's just very strange. If you're just trying to highlight injustice, why do you have to make him Tanner? Why do you have to make his shoulders more broad? Why do you have to shorten his nose and widen his face? Why do you have to make him look more handsome arguably than he is in the left side? If it is just a highlight injustice, then you don't have to tell this kind of lie. We've got Anna Navarro on CNN. She's saying, look, Alex Freddie was perfect. Who's the kind of guy who would babysit your dog here, sought six? They chose to, they killed the wrong guy, right? Because this is like the perfect guy. Alex Freddie is the guy you would want to date your daughter. The guy you want your son to grow up to be a decent human being who was serving humanity, serving sick veterans who is, there is nothing that has been said about that man that isn't wonderful. They can't malign him. They can't malign him because we have the videos. Okay. I've got more to say about this in just a second. Let me pause to a better first sponsor for the day.

They're pushing people who are previously sympathetic to Alex Preddie into the camp of callusness. Because we can all have a logical conversation, a compassionate conversation about whether or not what happened in that moment was justified. But when you zoom out and you see the person he apparently was an agitator to law enforcement, it makes people wonder if there was some kind of justification. But then when you look to the media and you see them trying to make him more handsome, when you see someone like Anna Navarro saying that he was a saint, I've seen this all over Instagram that he was basically this perfect compassionate veteran who did nothing wrong, who was just there trying to help a woman up who had just been pushed to the ground and he was targeted for no reason just because he was filming with his phone. When you see that kind of caricature, you're actually pushing people away from defending him and pushing people away from being persuaded by the progressive narrative. People are like, you know what? I don't really think that I'm going to latch on to the propaganda campaign that you are pushing. So I just want to remind you that there are some questions that you should ask whenever anything emotional happens, whether it's George Floyd on the concrete or whether it is Alex Preddie or whether it is the five-year-old that was supposedly detained by ICE and used to spate, which we now know is not true. And yet those emotional images of that precious child wearing the blue toboggan, I mean, that pulls on your heartstrings. And when you see that video completely decontextualized and the caption says, this person was arrested by ICE and used his bait, but his mom was scared to come outside. Like it's really easy just to believe that. It actually, you feel like a bad person for not believing it. If you don't believe it and you don't repeat what they say and you don't call for an in for ICE when you see that five-year-old supposedly victimized, then you feel like a bad person. You feel like a coward. And yet, of course, that's been debunked. His father ran away from him. His mother said, no, I don't want that child to come inside. Maybe she was scared. The ICE agents took care of him, bought him a happy meal. But of course, you didn't see that originally. So next time before you react immediately, wait. Ask a few questions, at least four questions. Ask one. How do I know this to be true? How do I know this to be true? You should ask that when you're listening to this podcast too. How do I know that to be true? Number two, is there more contacts that I'm not seeing or hearing? Is there more to this video? Was there something that happened before or after? What is going on here that I don't know? Number three, is there an alternative explanation to what this person is claiming? So when it came to that little boy, the caption said he's being detained by ICE. Is it possible that that caption is not true? Is it possible that something else is happening that I can't see and I don't know and this person sharing this video does not know? And number four, what are the sources for this information? For example, I saw this horrible story. This woman, an illegal immigrant, she gave birth here. Her child was in the NICU. And the story read that this woman was being detained and she was detained temporarily. She was then reunited with her child, but her milk dried up during that time and it was horrible. And of course, is a mom who was given birth to three kids that pulls on my heartstrings. And it does make me sad and it's okay to feel sad for her and to feel compassion. We should. But what I noticed when I was reading this story is that there was no source for this information. This journalist never said I talked to the woman. I talked to the doctor at the hospital. I verified this information. There is my source and then I saw commentators just repeating this story as if it's fact, never asking, but how do I know this is true and where am I getting this information? So I know that I've said this a million times. I am not trying to get you not to feel. I'm not trying to get you not to have compassion or even for your compassionate instinct to be arrested when you see sad pictures like the little boy in the blue toboggan. I'm trying to get you not to allow your feelings to lead you to a place that is not true. People got really mad at me when I talked about the messaging battle that is going on, but there is a messaging battle going on. And public messaging influences public policy, which influences the public politics matter because policy matters because people matter. And so what we believe and what we repeat, even if it's done in the name of compassion, has a real impact. And so before you reshare, before you repost, before you regurgitate the talking points, ask yourself these questions and remember your words haven't impacted. It's really easy for us to see stories like this and to selfishly think, well, how can I look good? How can I make sure that I'm checking the box or scoring the point or making sure that everyone knows that I'm a good person? But Christians are called to something much more thoughtful than that. You're called to the truth in love. Remember 1 Corinthians 13, 6, love never rejoices in wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Truth in love always goes hand in hand for the Christian, factual, logical truth, and also biblical truth. And the reality is is that what we're seeing right now, the outrage campaigns, all of the influencers posting things, trying to pressure you and to saying the same things they are, the anti-ice sentiment, none of that is really organic. Yes, their feelings might be real, but it is all being orchestrated by people both in and outside of the country who want to see the destabilization of American cities. We touched on this just slightly on Wednesday, but today we're going to get into it. I'm talking the Chinese Communist Party, the Muslim Brotherhood, Hezbollah, these entities all throughout the world who see the West in America as enemy number one are using chaotic moments like this to weaponize compassion against the United States. We don't have to play a part in that, but in order for us to opt out in a healthy way, we have to know what's going on. And that's why we're talking to Peter Schweitzer today. He wrote an entire book on this, how progressives are using immigration as a weapon and how these bad actors throughout the world are using very sophisticated and well-funded propaganda campaigns to lie to you and to change the makeup of the United States. It's going to blow your mind. Before we get into that conversation with Peter, let me go ahead and pause. I'll tell you about our second sponsor for the day. And that is Legacy Box. If you're anything like my mom, you've got VHS tapes lying around. You've got boxes and boxes of polaroids and pictures going all the way back to the 1960s. You don't want to lose all of those. Those are precious memories that you want to pass down to your kids and grandkids. It's so much easier to do that when those videos and pictures are digitized. And that's exactly what Legacy Box does. When you put all of these VHS tapes, these home videos and these pictures into the box at Legacy Box, yes, send it back to them. And then they take all of those and they digitize it in a really high quality, really efficient way. They send you back all of your stuff as well as the file that has saved all of your memories. This is not just a someday project that you have to keep on putting off and you don't have to do it yourself. Who was the time or the knowledge to do any of that? Let Legacy Box take care of that. This would be a great gift not only to yourself, but also to your mom, your grandmother, the loved ones in your life that have all of these memories they want to pass down.

Your new book number one on Amazon. It's about to be a number one New York Times bestsellers, that right? That's right. Very excited. The response has been been amazing and I'm glad the word is getting out. Yeah. Tell me your reaction to what's going on in Minneapolis right now, especially in light of what you've just written about in this book. Well, I think what's happening in Minneapolis is sort of a microcosm of a larger issue. And that is what I call the weaponization of immigration. We've been having an immigration debate in this country, which is good and healthy about how it affects our economy, how it affects safety in our streets, you know, getting these rapists off the streets, et cetera. But there's something more going on and that's this weaponization of immigration. What do I mean by that? There are foreign actors. Some of them are foreign governments like China, like Mexico. Others are foreign movements like the Muslim Brotherhood, who have weaponized immigration by importing or bringing foreign political sometimes violent networks into our country. And this I think is important to understand that you have people that come here that want to be part of the American dream, that want to embrace it. But you also have these very nefarious actors. And we're not able to sort between the two. So the clash and the violence and the corruption that we're seeing in Minneapolis is happening in Minneapolis, but it's also happening around the country from Los Angeles to New York City. And it's part of a larger what I call civilizational struggle between the United States and these nefarious actors. Okay, tell me how exactly this works because from my end as an Instagram user, I see a bunch of these influencers and all of these people posting anti-ice, anti-immigration enforcement content. And it seems organic. These people are crying into the camera about how awful this is that we're deporting illegal aliens. But you're telling me that this is not really organic. So how does this work? Yeah, some of it's obviously organic, but to your point, yeah, a lot of it is being generated and created. I'll give you a couple of examples. So the government of Mexico, people kind of view Mexico as kind of this corrupt, hapless government, they really can't get anything through. They actually have a very aggressive program in the United States to meddle in our politics in really, really direct ways. So for example, they have this network of Mexican government officials who actually live inside the United States. These are senior government officials that answer to the Mexican government, but actually live in the United States. And some of them are involved in fanning the flames and even organizing some of these violent protests we've seen. So for example, when we had the riots in Los Angeles last year, there were several Mexican officials. I named them. I quote them in the book that were fanning the flames. They were on social media. They were connected with the groups that were engaging in these violent protests. Who had last year a Mexican official named Alejandra Robles, he's the head of international operations for the Marena party, which is the ruling party of Mexico. That's the party that the current president is aligned with. And he in 2025 was going across the United States to his in his words, organize the militancy. And he bragged about how he and migrants and people he was working with were at quote, the forefront of civil resistance in America. And quote, this is again a foreign government official who lives in Ontario, California. And he was meeting with people like the people's forum, which is an antifa group in New York. And he was meeting with many others. Then you look at what's going on in Minneapolis. And you notice that the Twin Cities, of course, St. Paul, has a Mexican consulate there. And there are several groups, clues and another one's called Mirac, which are involved in some of these violent protests who do a lot of work with the Mexican embassy. Then let's switch to China just briefly. Two of the very radical groups that you see pop up all the time in these street battles, whether it's Minneapolis, Los Angeles, certainly during BLM, certainly during the anti-Israel protests across the Eastern Seaboard. These two groups are FRSO, the Freedom Road Socialist Organization, and PSL, the Party for Socialism and Liberation. These are small but extremely active. They believe in direct action, which is basically violence. These two groups have committed themselves ideologically and they are aligned with and work with the Chinese Communist Party. And some of these groups are getting funding from a gentleman named Roy Singham, a billionaire, a Kim Billionaire, who lives in Shanghai, describes himself as a malist, who is close to the CCP. So yes, you do have these, let's say, women in their 50s, in Minnesota that are blowing whistles and screaming and shouting at ICE officers. But the people that are really doing the direct action, a lot of the fighting, a lot of the organizing, the frozen bottles of water that they're throwing at ICE officers, these are these foreign-involved or foreign-directed entities. And that's what's really going on here. Yes, and I want to be clear about what I was talking about earlier, about these influencers who are posting this kind of anti-ice what I believe is propaganda. It's not that I believe those people are directly Chinese actors. They are funded by the CCP. But all of these entities you're saying is simply contributing to the chaos that is then leading possibly. You can clarify this is kind of not what you're arguing, but people like René Good or Alex Prattie to put themselves in front of ICE officers to pretend that they're fighting Nazis to justify this kind of agitation and impeding law enforcement operations that then is getting them killed. And then those images are used as a catalyst for even more activism to try to oppose immigration enforcement. And then all of that are these agitators and these propagandists from foreign governments that are kind of stoking the flames of this confusion. Is that correct? Yes, that's exactly right. That's very well said. And look, the bottom line is, and I understand why people say we need to figure out ways to tone down the conflict. And I agree with that. But let's be honest, the goal, what they want is to ramp up the conflict. When you say we need to try to tone it down, the assumption there is that the other side also wants to tone it down. The sad reality is these hardcore activists, they want martyrs. They want people that are getting shot and getting killed because it's good for the cause. It's a horrible view, but that is what their view is. So we need to realize that. We also need to realize that this is part of a national problem. It's not just an issue related to Minneapolis. You're going to see this cropping up elsewhere. There are already efforts to organize, I think, maybe happening tomorrow, a nationwide protest. And again, it's going to be direct action where they are physical confrontations with law enforcement because they want a fight. They want somebody to be severely injured or attacked because they feel like it's good for their cause. And it undermines American civilization. Jessica Paz for our next sponsor for the day. And that is Alliance defending freedom. I love ADF. We had Jessica Bates who was a client of ADF at Share the Arrows. We wanted to honor her courage. Jessica was trying to adopt two children in the very liberal state of Oregon, but because she is a Christian and refused to affirm that she would give kids puberty blockers. If they say they wanted them, the state of Oregon refused to allow her to adopt. But because of Alliance defending freedom, they have defended her. And she is now on the way to being able to adopt those children out of foster care. And they do that kind of work on a daily basis all throughout the country, protecting your religious liberty, protecting all of your First Amendment rights, as well as protecting the right of girls and women to their own private spaces and private athletic teams. And I want you to support them in any way you can. Praying for them, donating to them, just knowing what they're doing, go to join ADF.com slash alley. Learn about all of the cases they're taking all the way up to the Supreme Court. Join ADF.com slash alley. You know, past governments have deported illegal aliens. Barack Obama was kind of nicknamed a porter and chief. And he removed about I think it was three million illegal immigrants and ICE operated in much the same way. People say, Oh, he did it with due process. He did it much more humanely. Well, that's not really true. We just didn't see this kind of violent reaction. Calling ICE agents Nazis, calling them Gestapo, you know, calling Obama Hitler. That's not something that was occurring back then when he was removing families and sending them back to South America. So tell me why that is. Yeah, no, it's you're exactly right. I mean, people say, Oh, you know, they're walking around with masks on. Why are they walking around with masks on? They weren't docks 10 years ago. There weren't people running around when Obama was doing this trying to docks and physically threaten ICE agents and their families. So there's a reason for this. And again, what's happening is very sophisticated. It's very organized. So you see, you know, when these things happen that they're organizing on these private chats and a lot of these techniques are things that have been developed by, you know, Cuban intelligence and other entities. Some of the people involved in these protests have actually been trained in Cuba, part of the so-called Vinceremo Spragades. So this is something that is not random. And if you watch the extended videos of what's happening in the streets, rather than these just small snippets, the organized nature of this is what happened. And so let's summarize what's at stake here, Ali, because I think people sometimes forget the larger picture. Here's the bottom line issue. Nobody seemingly disputes that federal law says that we have a right to deport these people. Nobody disputes that federal law enforcement is doing what they're supposed to be doing, which is deporting people. You have Tim Walls and you have other local officials who have decided we don't like that federal law. So we're going to muck it up and make sure that they can't actually carry out federal law. The last time this happened was in 1950s, 1960s, Mississippi and Alabama. Right. You see, exact same thing. You've got an arrogant governor who is saying, an arrogant governor who is saying, I don't care what the federal law says. I don't care what a national election concluded, because Donald Trump said he was going to do this. I decide that I'm not going to allow federal law to be enforced in my state. And Tim Walls is another guy who wants martyrs and wants conflict because he thinks that they politically good issue for him. Right. You know, you say that this is a national problem and it obviously is, but others have pointed out that this kind of deadly chaos is not happening in every single jurisdiction. Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche pointed this out. You know, we're also deporting illegal aliens in Texas and we're not seeing this kind of conflict. Let's place that one. We deport 10 times the number of illegal aliens out of Texas than we do out of Minneapolis. Why do we hear nothing out of Texas about any of the same problems that we have in Minneapolis? I'll tell you why, because in Texas, we have the cooperation and support of local law enforcement so that we can do these operations safely, keeping US citizens and others protected and safe. That is not what we have in Minneapolis. And the fact that it's the administration that's being blamed for the utter failure of leadership in Minneapolis is not right. It's not appropriate. I'm just saying those officers. Okay. So Minneapolis was also the epicenter of chaos back in 2020. Why is it that places like LA, Portland and Minneapolis seem to just attract this kind of conflict? It's a great question. And the answer is in order to engage in this kind of direct action successfully, you need essentially the complicit support of local authorities. You need mayors and governors who are not going to deploy local law enforcement and you need local prosecutors that are not going to prosecute people. So it's happened in Minneapolis. You can go into a church, take over the church service, you can threaten people, you can do a whole host of other things. You can be told to leave and ignore that request. You're going to be arrested and local prosecutors are going to basically say, yeah, well, no, we're not going to, we're not going to allow this to go through. So you need to have both of those elements. And the reason that you see the fight so viciously in places like Minneapolis and California is political power. That's really the bottom line. If you look at the state of California, Allie, they have because of e-leagles in the state of California, four more congressional seats than they would ordinarily have because of e-leagles in that state. Because when we do the census, which determines the electrophoresshipment and determines the number of congressional seats you get, we're not counting citizens, we're counting people. And so they want e-leagles in their state for that reason. And if for congressman doesn't sound like a lot, consider the fact that e-leagles in California have more representation than people in 13 other US states that have smaller congressional delegations. So it's an enormous political benefit. That's why you're seeing resistance in California, Illinois, Minnesota, these states that have lost large populations, you know, since COVID with sort of the migration from these blue states, they cannot have deportations on a large scale within their states. They will lose political power and they will also lose money because let's remember federal block grants on a whole host of issues, transportation, et cetera, is again determined by the census. That's why they're fighting this so viciously. It's not humanitarian, it's for their own political benefit. You know, that kind of answers another question that I had is, why did we see all of this opposition to ice after the widespread fraud in Minneapolis was revealed? I mean, now we know that these small and some legal, some illegal were using day cares, adult day care centers, whatever that is, to get a lot of money from the taxpayer and that that money is seemingly being funneled to the Democrat Party, other politicians in the state of Minnesota. And it's just strange that, you know, people in Minnesota would say, after I realize my tax pay or money is being stolen from me for nefarious ends, that's when I'm going to get really angry that people are being deported. That to me doesn't seem like an organic logical reaction. Yeah, no, I think that's a great point. And I think that the fraud and Somalia again, we're missing, I think, the larger issue here, not to say that a multi-billion dollar fraud in the state of Minnesota is not a big deal. But I think the way people have viewed this is that this is kind of again, you know, people come here from Somalia. It's one of the most corrupt places on the planet. That's not me saying that. That's what all the surveys say. And so people say, well, this is just kind of what you would expect. But this is again, actually highly organized. And one of the things I point out in the book is when it comes to groups like the Muslim Brotherhood, they are very active in America's mosques. A lot of the mosques in the United States are run by individuals who are here on R1 visas, religious worker visas from overseas. They're actually not from the United States. And one of the things they preach is this sort of strange notion that public assistance fraud is like a tax on non-Muslims that are owed to Muslims. It's called Jizrat, I think is what they call it. And their preachers, including in places like Minnesota, who have said this, who have argued this. So it's not just that you have people saying, hey, let's, we think we're going to engage in fraud. You actually have people that are encouraging this kind of behavior, at least among people that are part of their faith. Obviously, a lot of Muslims would reject this view. But the bottom line, this is a very vocal movement that's pushed by the Muslim Brotherhood to engage in this kind of fraud, that it's legitimate behavior. And that makes it even more difficult to tamp down on. And I think that's the reason we're going to see more of these cases involving people in these communities and not just in Minnesota. Another pause to tell you about good ranchers. Y'all, I've been telling you about good ranchers for, gosh, it's been five years now. We always have a freezer full of good ranchers meat. We've got there better than organic chicken. We've got their ground beef, all different cuts of steak, all of their seafood. This is what we eat every night. It has given me so much peace of mind and has just taken something off of my mental load to know that I have at least one portion of every meal accounted for. I don't have to worry about going into the grocery store and wondering where is this meat from. What is the quality every single kind of meat comes from an American farm or a ranch. They also have seed oil free chicken nuggets, which is like unheard of. Even if you go to the health food store and you see the organic chicken nuggets, you'll look on the back. It's got cannibal oil, all kinds of inflammatory stuff. You never have to worry about that with good ranchers. What I love about them, they don't only support American farms or ranches. They also support our veterans. Right now, they are donating a portion of their profits to paralyzed veterans of America. That's perfect, especially this year as we celebrate America, $250. Support veterans, support American farms and ranches, support this Christian family-owned American company and good ranchers. Go to goodrangers.com, use code Allie at checkout.

Can we hone in on how the Muslim Brotherhood and Islam as being used as a vehicle to change American culture and to change the electorate and to shift power into the hands of one political party? Yeah, no, that's a great question. I'm going to read you two quotes just because I think it's better than me just saying. It gives an indication of where these activists are coming from. The first one is from the head of Florida care. Care, of course, you've talked about it, others have talked about it, canceling American Islamic relations. This is from a 2025 speech. Listen to what he says. How do we even justify living here in the United States? I mean, why are we living here? Have we asked ourselves this question? Why are we living in the United States? The only answer I believe is excusable and justifiable is if we are living here to shift this country's political direction and spiritual direction together. Or another quote from a board member of care, of the national board, quote, ultimately we can never be full citizens of this country because there is no way we can be fully committed to the institutions of this country. We can be citizens in the sense that we try to influence American policy. So it begins with this very aggressive effort within the Islamic community to say, no, don't assimilate and if you do assimilate, we are going to ostracize you, we are going to attack you and criticize you. Because the point is they do not want people that immigrate here of the Muslim faith to embrace the American dream. That means they're going to lose them. So you have this very organized, highly funded effort by these activists, by these groups, by these imams to fight against the United States, not embrace it. And there are numerous other quotes in my book. There's an imam one of the biggest mosques in Michigan who said just a year ago, he told everybody in the congregation, we need to fight Western civilization. Western civilization is over. We are the future. We need to fight it. So it begins with that. And then it begins with, again, in their own words, their hope that American apathy will serve their political agenda. They firmly believe that if they can achieve a population of 10 or 11 percent in a certain area, they can win elections because most the average American is politically not that engaged. They don't vote. They certainly don't vote in primaries. And they use the Maldonial election in New York as an example. And people want to think, well, that's crazy New York. That's not where I live. They've talked about this several years before that if we can find a Muslim candidate that we can get behind, we can win the democratic nomination because we can get our people out to vote, even though we're a small percentage of the population. And that's the model they are now going to replicate across the country. And they're very confident that they're going to have success. The final thing I would say, Ali, is that again, there is an international component to this. I talk about this in the book, Maldonial election in New York was watched very closely in Tehran. And it was also watched very closely by groups like Hezbollah, the terrorist group at Lebanon, because they see these victories in the United States as an opportunity to expand their sphere of influence within our own borders. So tell me why the Muslim brotherhood, Mexico, the Chinese Communist Party, who do not believe in things like transgenderism disproportionately support progressiveism and the Democrat Party in the United States. Yeah, no, it's a great question. It's the most bizarre thing when you see the trans rights activist next to the devout, radicalized fundamentalist Muslim, who would reject everything that the trans rights activists believe in how they're living their life. And the answer goes back to a meeting that sort of began what is called the red green alliance between the Marxists and the Islamists. It was a meeting in 2007 when the son and daughter of Che Guevara, the butcher of the Cuban revolution, who, you know, some college students wear a t-shirt with his image on it on college campuses. His adult children who are atheist Marxists who live in Cuba, travel to Tehran to meet with the Mullahs. And according to the accounts of that meeting, the meeting did not get off to a good start. They first they started arguing about the existence of God. And they obviously had very different views on that. But eventually they brushed all that aside and alley what they concluded and what they said after that meeting is we disagree on a lot of things, but we agree on one thing. And that is the fundamental need to destroy the United States and Western civilization. So this is a marriage of convenience. And what I would say to my progressive friends out there, and I do have friends that I disagree with politically is you should read the quotes in my book because what the Amams will tell you is this is a marriage of convenience when we have one, we are going to deal with these people because we find these progressives, these atheists, these trans right activists, abhorrent. And once we defeat Western civilization, don't worry, we're going to go deal with those people. So it is a marriage of convenience. They are going to they're going to divide the spoils. And then the Islamists are going to declare war on the progressives at that point in time. Yeah, it's not that these Islamists actually agree with the values of progressivism. It's that the values of progressivism make them vulnerable to conquest. When you value completely untethered to truth, by the way, tolerance and diversity and unconditional open-mindedness, unconditional acceptance and inclusion, you become very vulnerable to chaos. And so to me, that is why the CCP and these other groups that are really opposed to a lot of their principles take advantage of them and you know, take on progressivism like a skin suit.

I've got two more questions quickly. We've talked about surrogacy and really the global surrogacy and trafficking industry that exists and how China in particular takes advantage of our immigration laws here and uses American surrogates to create Chinese American babies. Tell us what is going on behind the scenes there and why that is happening. Yeah, this might be the most horrific thing that we uncovered. Look, we have this debate in the country about birthright citizenship, the 14th amendment. Some people believe the 14th amendment means that anybody born within the borders of the United States, that baby automatically gets US citizenship. And I think a lot of people have a sense that like, is this really a big deal? I mean, okay, somebody comes across the border that this they live here 20 years, they happen to have a child. The problem is that China has an industrial scale exploitation of birthright citizenship that is creating a massive national security problem. And so what do I mean? Well, our federal government has no idea how many children have been born here that are getting birthright citizenship. They have no idea because when you get a birth certificate in the United States, it does not give the nationality of the parents. Nobody's tracking it. Our federal government doesn't know. China has encouraged this. They've encouraged it in the people's daily, their biggest newspaper. They've told members of the Chinese elite, go to the United States, you can get citizenship for your kids. They allow a thriving industry where there are literally hundreds of companies that will make these arrangements for members of the Chinese elite. The question of course is why? Why would China want its elite to get US citizenship? And I think we all kind of know what that answer probably is. But the scale here is the point I want to emphasize. China has, the Chinese government has investigated this. Chinese research firms have looked at it and they say that over the last 13 years, every single year, roughly 100,000 Chinese babies have been born in the United States. In other words, their parents fly here. The mother gives birth after a couple of weeks. When the babies ready to travel, they fly back to China and the child will be raised in China in CCP schools with the CCP control with CCP media. And the problem is when they turn 18, they're going to be able to vote in the United States. And they're going to be able to contribute to political campaigns. And they're going to be able to apply for government jobs. So do the math. We're looking at more than a million according to the Chinese government estimate of quote unquote US citizens. I'll put that in air quotes, who are being raised in China that are going to be able to start voting in our elections in just a couple of years. Let's remember the 2016 presidential election Donald Trump Hillary Clinton was settled by what 72,000 votes. So this is a massive problem. You have the additional problem of surrogacy. This is when Chinese elites will hire a woman in the United States or pay her 50 to 60,000 dollars to carry their baby. When that baby is born, it will be given US citizenship. It's born here. Its mother is also a US citizen. We don't know the scale of this. The Chinese government has not looked into it. Again, it's openly advertised in China, but a couple of brief data points. Number one, we looked at Southern California and we found 107 Chinese owned surrogacy companies that are advertising these services in China. 107, just in Southern California. The second data point is the Wall Street Journal ran a story about five weeks ago involving one man, a Chinese billionaire close to the CCP, who says that he alone by himself has more than 100 children that were born in the United States that are being raised in China right now. So this is a massive, massive vulnerability and problem. Yeah, I mean, it's human trafficking and it's not even just for the purpose of trafficking these humans and making money in all of this. But as you are arguing, this has long term political consequences when you have this dual citizenship and they're being propagandized their whole lives against the United States, then can come back to the United States. So obviously we are talking about illegal immigration, but we're talking about legal immigration too. We are talking about not enforcing the laws on the books and the laws on the books, not being what they should be. What do you see the Trump administration doing to combat all of the things that we've been talking about? Well, very fortunate before the book came out, I had a, a bad an hour long meeting with the president, the Treasury Secretary, Besson and also the Secretary of State, Marco Rubio were in that meeting in the Oval Office. We laid out a lot of this information. It can't go into details, but I expect we're going to see some action from the Trump administration. I would also add that we had very good meetings on Capitol Hill with a number of U.S. Senators and with James Comer, the chairman of the House Oversight Committee. I will be testifying before the Senate on the issue of China's surrogacy and manipulation of birthright citizenship. I think it's on March the 10th. And I also have reason to believe that the administration and others are going to be using this information in the Supreme Court discussions on birthright citizenship. Those arguments I think will be occurring in a few weeks. And I just think it's vitally important for the Supreme Court justices to realize these are not random things that just kind of happen. This is highly organized. It is an industrial scale effort to mint U.S. citizens and these U.S. citizens are being raised in China. And they will have the rights that all of us have who live here and participate and love America. Peter, thank you so much. The invisible coup, how American elites and foreign powers use immigration as a weapon. This is the book that everyone needs to read right now to know it's really going on. Peter, thank you so much. Thanks so much for having me, Allie. I enjoyed it.
