“The Soros network is scared,” he told National Desk reporter Geoff Harris.

“When the Soros network and other dark money networks say that they’re ‘defending democracy’ or doing some sort of civil rights activity, that can also translate into protest actions. So, I wouldn’t be surprised if we see more of this kind of “No Kings stuff” going into the midterms,” Bruner said.

The OSF announcement is the group’s first large US-focused initiative since Alex Soros assumed leadership of the organization from his father George. The group says the money will fund projects that will “improve the daily lives of Americans and stand up for the rule of law.”

GAI has investigated the funding activities of several large, left-leaning sources including OSF, Arabella Advisors, and the Tides network. At the White House roundtable last September on Antifa that was moderated by President Trump, Bruner told the President directly that dark money from these sources has found its way into violent protest activity by Antifa and other far-left groups, who were paid for getting these protests organized. Trump’s Attorney General Todd Blanche announced recently that the Justice department is actively investigating whether these ostensibly charitable organizations are in fact funding unrest and fomenting violence in American cities.

OSF told reporters they know of no active DOJ investigation against it, telling the National News Desk it is aware of nothing beyond what has appeared in public reporting.

“Since the Trump administration began taking this seriously, I give a shout-out to the Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, who has taken a lot of actions to look into these opaque funding networks,” Bruner told The National Desk.

Last year, GAI did deep research into the funding sources and money flows behind often violent anti-immigration enforcement protests in Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, and Minneapolis. GAI found organizations that received large contributions from OSF, the Tides Foundation, Arabella Advisors (which is now defunct) and others. While those funds were awarded for legitimate purposes, as they noted in the reporting, money is fungible.

Wang resigned and pled guilty to acting as an unregistered agent for China.

Federal authorities are simultaneously pursuing cases involving secret police stations, crop-sabotage operations, and biological material smuggling.

Schweizer’s read: don’t treat these as isolated incidents.

“If you look at each individual case, you might not think it amounts to much,” he said. “But it’s a cumulative effect that I think presents the challenge.”

Beijing deliberately works at the state and local level, where zoning boards, real estate decisions, and early political relationships go relatively unscrutinized. The goal is long-term positioning. Mayors become state officials. State officials run for Congress.

Schweizer has a name for the endgame: elite capture.

“They want to develop a relationship early,” he said, pointing to Eric Swalwell, who was a Bay Area city commissioner when his relationship with suspected Chinese spy Fang Fang began. “They recognize that they’re not going to be robots for China. They’re willing to accept what they call big help with a little bad mouth.”

The recruitment pipeline runs deep into American universities. Schweizer put the number at 600,000 Chinese students currently studying in the U.S., concentrated not in humanities but in hard sciences and laboratories.

“Every student is a potential recruit,” he said. “They can pressure your family. You have family back in China. They can do bad things to your family if you don’t cooperate.”

The intelligence harvest feeds directly into China’s drive to win the A.I. race and leapfrog American technological dominance.

But Schweizer didn’t stop at espionage. He connected the fentanyl crisis to a doctrine most Americans have never heard of.

“China has a different view,” he said, describing the 1999 Chinese military text on unrestricted warfare. “War that does not involve a kinetic shooting war. You’re not firing missiles at each other — but you’re engaging in non-lethal military operations designed to weaken your enemy.”

The fentanyl operation fits that doctrine precisely: Chinese precursor chemicals, roughly 2,000 Chinese nationals embedded with Mexican cartels, and drug proceeds laundered through Chinese state-owned banks. Schweizer noted the Chinese press has openly framed fentanyl as payback for the 19th-century Opium Wars.

“You could argue it’s working,” he said.

Watch the clip above.

To the Chinese, Eggers said, Trump’s message during the Trump-Xi summit meeting, “Listen, you want access to the best chips in the world from Nvidia? I had Jensen Huang get on the plane in Alaska, and I’m bringing him to you. And only with my permission will you be able to buy some of the chips.” To American businesspeople, his message was, “I know you want access to the Chinese market — you can  do so through me.”

“Donald Trump is actually the commerce edition of the Strait of Hormuz,” Eggers quipped to host Eric Bolling on Real America’s Voice. “It’s the Strait of Trump.”

Eggers also discussed the downstream implications of the summit for the Iran conflict as well as the future of Taiwan and the 2026 midterms. Bolling noted a comment from Trump on his return “that he’s not looking to travel 9,500 miles to fight a war in Taiwan’s defense… [If] I’m Xi Jinping going home after hearing that, that sounds like an open door to me. Does it to you?” Bolling asked.

“I think it’s a leverage point,” Eggers replied. The United States has done things geopolitically without asking other countries’ permission. We launched attacks in Iran. I’m not sure we asked China’s permission before we enacted regime change in Venezuela. So, I think Trump always keeps things close to the vest when it comes to gaining leverage and where the ultimate negotiating sticking points will be,” he said. Roughly 80 to 85 percent of the world’s most advanced silicon chips come from Taiwan and ceding that supply chain to Beijing would hand China a decisive edge in the AI race.

The conversation shifted to domestic politics, and Eggers believes the Supreme Court’s Louisiana redistricting ruling has materially shifted the calculus. A potential net gain of 11 House seats for Republicans may offset their expected losses in the midterm elections.

In 1994, Schweizer wrote a book called Victory: The Reagan Administration’s Secret Strategy That Hastened the Collapse of the Soviet Union, arguing President Reagan’s policy towards the Soviet regime in the 1980s is what led to that regime’s downfall.

“You may not know this, but for more than a decade, my longtime colleague and friend Mark Dubowitz has been handing out copies of that book to U.S. government officials and legislators,” May told Schweizer, “and telling them that Reagan’s strategy against the Soviet Union – maximum pressure on the regime, maximum support for the people – should be the playbook for the Islamic Republic of Iran.”

Schweizer agrees that the same approach of maximum pressure should be exerted on the Islamic Republic. He notes that US intelligence agencies routinely underestimate the strength of our adversaries, warning that a nuclear-armed Iran would hold the Strait of Hormuz hostage.

Yet Schweizer’s focus remains on China as America’s central adversary. His previous book, Blood Money, detailed how Chinese state-owned banks laundered the proceeds of fentanyl sales by Mexican drug cartels, and that 2,000 Chinese chemists are embedded with those cartels helping to produce the drug in Mexico from Chinese-made precursor chemicals. The book before that, Red Handed, told the side of the story of American politicians who helped the Chinese do it.

May’s interview of Schweizer returns to Schweizer’s latest bestseller, The Invisible Coup. In this book, researched for two years by researchers at the Government Accountability Institute Schweizer runs, details how America’s enemiesa have weaponized immigration against the US and turned it into a weapon.

Schweizer learned while researching thew book that the “proof of concept” for this strategy was actually the 1980 Mariel Boatlift from Cuba. Cuban dictator Fidel Castro opened prisons and mental hospitals, while allowing some dissidents also to leave the island in makeshift boats, bringing a wave of 250,000 Cubans to South Florida. US President Jimmy Carter said he would welcome them “with open arms,” Schweizer recalled. “Castro said, ‘then I’ll fill his arms with s***.”

Today, Somali immigrants have been found responsible for vast amounts of welfare fraud in many states where they were settled. Radicals imams admitted on temporary visas to the US have preached overthrow of the government and encouraged jihad by American Muslims, and Mexico’s government refers to the illegal migrants that swarmed over the southern border during the Biden administration as part of its “Reconquista” of lands it lost to the United States… in 1848.

In the book’s most alarming chapter, one he titled “The Manchurian Generation,” he detailed the CCP-backed birth tourism industry. Chinese women by the hundreds of thousands have come to US territory, mostly in the US territory of Saipan in the Pacific and in southern California to give birth through the help of more than 500 companies that facilitate their visit. Schweizer cites Chinese government estimates that roughly one million birthright U.S. citizens are now being raised inside China since 2013, a voting bloc that will come of age beginning in 2030 and that no US government agency is tracking.

Florida is paying roughly $2.8 million a year for Xello, a student career-planning platform. On the surface, it looks like a harmless job-exploration tool.

But let’s look closer…

Xello delivers non-academic lessons on mindset, self-management, social skills, and workplace attitudes — content that aligns with the American School Counselor Association’s frameworks and overlaps with modern social-emotional learning models.

The platform builds individualized student profiles using personality assessments, self-identified skills, career goals, and reflection prompts, then generates what it calls “best fit” career recommendations.

That raises a few questions: How influential are those recommendations? Would people who actually know the child agree with the machine’s assessment? Who has access to the data, and how long does it last?

The architecture behind those profiles is significant.

Student data is stored in portable digital profiles, linked to National Student Clearinghouse tracking, and built for interoperability with education infrastructure funded by Dell and the Gates Foundation — a framework called Ed-Fi.

To be clear: there is no evidence Florida is currently using Xello for social-credit scoring, demographic workforce steering, or AI-driven career routing, but critics warn that the systems could enable broad-scale social engineering.

Competing platforms — SchooLinks and MajorClarity, owned by Edmentum — openly frame their objectives in terms of equity and inclusion, language now standard throughout the education-to-workforce pipeline.

Florida chose the softer version. It still entered the same ecosystem.

And Florida is far from alone.

These systems have quietly scaled nationwide into what the industry calls “College, Career, and Life Readiness” — CCLR — tracking platforms, designed to align students to workforce demand.

They are gaining access to children as early as elementary school, collecting psychometric and behavioral data, and shaping what they call “career identities” under the banner of future readiness.

Millions of American students across dozens of states now move through systems that include career and personality assessments, behavioral tracking, digital credentialing, FAFSA compliance dashboards, and AI-driven interventions.

That’s the real concern — not what Florida is doing today, but what the systems now in place make possible.

Infrastructure outlasts administrations. Once these platforms are normalized, it becomes easier to quietly expand their use. Future policymakers could then steer children’s futures in ways parents never knowingly approved.

This is not counseling.

It is a pipeline.

And it starts younger, reaches further, and stores more than most families realize.
