On Tuesday’s episode of Donald Trump Jr’s Triggered podcast, Breitbart News senior contributor Peter Schweizer discussed the role that wealthy global figures like Bill Gates and George Soros play in supporting advocacy groups involved in immigration policy. Schweizer, author of The Invisible Coup: How American Elites and Foreign Powers Use Immigration as a Weapon, argued that the ultimate goal of these funders is not just assistance or reform, but the transformation of America itself.
Schweizer explained to Trump Jr. that the discussion in his book focuses on domestic enablers who help reshape fundamental aspects of American society. He said that, in the immigration space, there are organizations backed by Gates, Soros, and others whose stated mission goes beyond humanitarian aid or policy advocacy. According to Schweizer, these groups explicitly view mass migration as a tool to transform the country, aligning with their broader political vision.
“Their agenda is ultimately seeking the transformation of America,” Schweizer said, referencing quotes from the groups he profiles in his book. He argued that these advocacy organizations are not neutral or purely philanthropic, but rather see immigration as a means to reshape the nation’s demographics, culture, and political landscape to match their ideological goals.
The conversation on Triggered placed this critique in the broader context of what Schweizer and Trump Jr. describe as an “invisible coup,” where elite interests and foreign influences quietly alter American policy and economic priorities. Trump Jr. tied this narrative to past economic shifts, such as outsourcing that was encouraged or enabled by billionaire decision‑makers and influential advisers.
Schweizer’s remarks reflect a viewpoint held by some critics of global elite philanthropy and political funding — that concentrated financial power, when aligned with a particular worldview, can exert outsized influence on national direction. He and Trump Jr. framed this alleged influence as antithetical to the interests of average Americans and positioned the issue as central to debates over immigration and national identity.
While supporters of Gates, Soros, and similar funders would characterize their work as advancing humanitarian goals and democratic values, Schweizer’s comments highlight a sharply different interpretation. In his telling, the backing of migration advocacy organizations by wealthy elites like Gates and Soros is not incidental but part of a larger strategy to reshape the United States according to a vision that these critics believe undermines traditional American norms and sovereignty.
