Summary

Mass migration isn’t just a policy debate; it’s a power struggle with global stakes.Bestselling investigative journalist Peter Schweizer, author of “The Invisible Coup,” lays out his thesis that mass migration isn’t just a humanitarian or economic issue, but also a strategic tool foreign powers use to reshape American politics.“It’s not a network in the sense that they are working together. It’s a confluence of interests. Mexico, China, the Muslim Brotherhood—they all have different goals, but they share a common goal: They want to diminish the United States and extend their interests.” 👉America is worth preserving.

0:00.0	One of things Alejandro Robles said in 2025 is that Mexicans who come to the United States
0:06.1	and assimilate and embrace American values and learn the language are traitors. They're traitors
0:15.1	to Mexico and ought to be treated as such. And he added that Shinebaum, the president, who he
0:20.6	knows well, agrees with him.
0:22.9	So the point is they do not want their countrymen coming here, embracing the American dream,
0:28.0	adopting American values and assimilating.
0:30.2	They want them not to be assimilated.
0:32.6	They want them to be loyal to Mexico.
0:45.8	Thank you. loyal to Mexico. Well, hello, ladies, hello, gentlemen.
0:48.5	Welcome to Victor Davis Hanson, in his own words.

1:23.2	powers use immigration as a weapon. Is it number one on the New York Times bestseller list for
1:30.3	three weeks in a row? Is that the word on the street? It is. And I'm humbled by the support,
1:36.9	and I'm very pleased that the New York Times apparently didn't engage in any shenanigans.
1:42.6	So I'm very happy about that. When you're on the New York Times bestseller, if that's the only time a conservative
1:48.5	will use the New York Times in a positive way.
1:52.1	But I'm happy it's for you and well-deserved.
