Mexican Government Denies “Reconquista” Intentions -- Schweizer Responds
The Drill Down with Peter SchweizerShow Notes
In the week since The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon, debuted atop the bestseller lists, Mexico’s president and ambassador to the US have tried to dismiss the book’s findings about Mexican consulates interfering in US domestic politics, waving off multiple quotes from numerous Mexican politicians and consular officials themselves. In a statement released by her office, Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said, “I categorically deny any involvement or attempt by Mexico to interfere in the internal affairs of the United States.” Schweizer has already been asked to testify at a Senate hearing in March on several of The Invisible Coup’s most eye-popping revelations. On the most recent episode of The Drill Down, Schweizer responds to the Mexican government’s denials.

Federal agents executed search warrants tied to Rep. Ilhan Omar and her relatives in an immigration fraud investigation. Barack Obama answered with a public statement calling the probe political targeting. Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers walk through the record Obama left out. Questions about Omar's immigration history date to 2016. Minnesota attorney Scott Johnson of Power Line documented a 2002 Islamic marriage, a 2009 legal marriage, and a divorce Omar never filed before her third marriage. The Star Tribune chased the story and dropped it. The current probe turns on Omar's age when her father became a citizen. At 17, she would have received status with him. At 18, she would have needed to apply on her own. Then Peter and Eric play audio of Sen. Elissa Slotkin of Michigan saying she wants young people to think twice before working for the Trump administration because of the legal problems they would face. You hear the deterrence message in her own words. The episode traces lawfare from the war on terror to Donald Trump, follows the line from a 2022 New York Times report on Joe Biden to the Alvin Bragg indictment, and looks at what a Democratic House means for investigations after January.

President Trump signed Executive Order 14151 on his first day back in office. The order shut down federal DEI offices, froze equity grants, and ended the minority set-aside schemes where a front owner holds 51% of a company on paper. Rep. Sarah McBride wants the old system back. Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers track what changed. In 2022 the Air Force set a goal to cut white officer applicants from 80% to 67.5%, and Gen. CQ Brown co-signed the memo. Once the quotas ended, all five active-duty branches hit their FY2025 recruiting goals. At Ivy Plus schools, Black enrollment fell 25% after race-conscious admissions ended, while Black freshman enrollment jumped at the University of Mississippi and LSU. United Airlines set a goal of 50% women and people of color for its pilot academy. The FAA now requires airlines to certify merit-based pilot hiring. The episode closes on the federal search of Rep. Ilhan Omar's home and why a colorblind standard means equal scrutiny for every public official. (00:00) Where DEI stands now (01:34) Day one: Executive Order 14151 (04:14) Rep.

ActBlue told Congress it required a passport number from donors with foreign addresses. Internal messages released by three House committees show the check confirmed only the number of characters. Fraud reviewers flagged mismatched IP addresses, foreign credit cards, and links to rejected accounts, then approved the money anyway. One supervisor overturned a rejection because the donor's X account supported Democrats. Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers walk through the emails, ActBlue's choice to put DEI goals ahead of fraud prevention, and foreign money cases touching campaigns from Jeb Bush to Zohran Mamdani. They trace the story back to 2012, when GAI found Obama.com owned by a campaign bundler living in China and drawing two thirds of its traffic from overseas.

Anthropic and OpenAI plan IPOs. Their leaders also warn of killer robots and ask Washington to regulate them. Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers ask who profits from the rules. Investor Steve Eisman says the AI labs face open-weight competitors, have no lasting edge, and manufacture a crisis to write regulation in their favor. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang asks why executives who fear their own product rush to raise money. Peter compares the push to Dodd-Frank, which some of the largest Wall Street firms backed and which drove out small competitors unable to afford compliance. The hosts play President Trump, Brad Gerstner, and Bill Gates, who calls new AI law "a little bit of overhead." They cover data center power use and local opposition, Eric's figure of more than $300 million in AI company spending on the 2026 midterms, and OpenAI's purchase of the TBPN podcast. They close on tech leaders who praised China for years and now cite China as a threat to win support in Washington.

The press covers President Trump as the weak party at this week's U.S.-China summit. Low polls, gas prices, Iran. The coverage leaves out what Xi Jinping did on his way to Washington. Days before the trip, Xi expelled two of China's top generals, Zhang Youxia and Liu Zhenli, for disloyalty to the party. Zhang served as vice chairman of the Central Military Commission and ranked among Xi's closest allies. The purges leave the commission with two active members: Xi and the man running his investigations. More than 45 Chinese generals and admirals have gone missing in two years. Peter Schweizer and Eric Eggers lay out the numbers Beijing stopped publishing. China's economy is on pace for its slowest growth since 1991. Total debt sits near 300% of GDP. Domestic car sales fell 20% from a year earlier. Housing sales fell 14%. Business confidence and real estate data went dark. Then the agenda. Trump wants help on Iran. China, the largest backer of the Iranian regime, lost its discounted oil from Iran and Venezuela and has drawn down its reserve for six months. On AI, Peter walks through the COVID record: the NIH grant terms, the Wuhan lab biosafety protocols, the WHO access commitments. China signed each one and broke each one. An AI agreement with Beijing binds the United States and nobody else. (00:00) The press says Xi is strong and Trump is weak (01:55) Summit protocol and the purge the media ignored (04:09) 45 generals and admirals missing in two years (05:49) Xi's father tried to poison his teacher (07:49) Beijing stops reporting its own economic data (08:46) China's debt hits 300% of GDP (10:42) Trump gets called a dictator. Xi gets Disney. (12:50) China broke every COVID agreement it signed (15:26) Why China needs Hormuz open more than we do (17:42) China is an enemy. Talk, but don't trust.
