The Firestorm Of The MAGA Agenda
On December 27, 2024, Steve Bannon set the stage for a fiery discussion on critical issues facing America, focusing on sovereignty and immigration, particularly legal immigration. He emphasized that these topics have been central to his work for over a decade, playing a significant role in Donald Trump’s rise to power in 2016. Bannon recalled pivotal moments, including a meeting at Trump Tower where tech moguls, including Elon Musk and Peter Thiel, confronted Trump about intellectual property theft by the Chinese Communist Party, a problem ignored by previous administrations.
He criticized the H1-B visa program, calling it a scam that prioritizes foreign labor over American jobs. Highlighting his long-standing opposition to such policies, Bannon underscored the need for immediate action, likening the situation to a decisive moment in The Godfather.
Joined by experts like Mark Krikorian, Jack Posobiec, and Raheem Kassam, Bannon promised an in-depth analysis of immigration, foreign labor, and broader issues like the economy, Ukraine, and the Middle East. Assembling a “27 Yankees” team of commentators, he vowed to expose lies and misrepresentations while championing the cause of American workers and sovereignty.
Gavin Wax BLASTS H-1B Visa Program For Taking From American Workers
Steve Bannon and Gavin Wax tackled the contentious issue of H1B visas, arguing they undermine American workers while enabling exploitation by Big Tech. Bannon criticized the program, stating it replaces well-paying jobs with low-wage, indentured servitude. He suggested only rare exceptions, such as a modern-day Einstein, should justify such visas.
Wax emphasized that H1B visas aren’t about attracting the “best and brightest,” but rather filling entry- and mid-level positions at reduced wages. He denounced corporate practices that prioritize foreign workers over Americans, calling the system a “scam” that exploits both foreign workers and the U.S. workforce.
The conversation also addressed broader themes, including the MAGA movement’s focus on economic nationalism and the cultural clash between populist values and elite profit motives. Bannon linked the “can-do” attitude derived from American sports history to the nation’s global leadership, emphasizing teamwork, perseverance, and innovation as vital components of American exceptionalism.
The discussion highlighted internal challenges within Trump’s base, especially regarding some supporters’ alignment with Big Tech interests. Bannon called for a return to prioritizing American workers, arguing this aligns with Trump’s America First agenda and is essential for national security and cultural cohesion.
Mark Krikorian On President Trump Ending H-1B Visa Program
In a conversation between Steve Bannon and Mark Krikorian from the Center for Immigration Studies (CIS), the discussion centered around the H-1B visa program and its challenges. Bannon referred to an April 2017 executive order signed by President Trump, which aimed to address issues with the H-1B visa system, particularly its lottery-based distribution. The H-1B program, intended for temporary skilled workers, faces criticism for awarding visas randomly, often resulting in mediocre talent being selected. Under Trump’s order, the goal was to prioritize applicants based on salary, ensuring that high-paying positions attracted the best talent. However, despite months of effort, the regulation remained stalled at the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the White House, eventually being delayed until the end of Trump’s term. The Biden administration later rescinded the policy. Bannon criticized the continued reliance on foreign talent, likening it to “imperialism” and arguing that the U.S. should help other nations develop their own economies instead of relying on importing talent. He also mentioned how the Disney visa controversy, where American workers had to train H-1B visa holders to replace them, resonated with voters and was pivotal in Trump’s 2016 victory. Bannon expressed frustration that the H-1B reform never came to fruition, despite efforts and compromises within the White House.
Jack Posobiec And Steve Bannon: It Is American CITIZENS First
In a conversation between Steve Bannon and Jack Posobiec, Bannon emphasized that the America First movement is centered on putting the American people first, not corporations or the military-industrial complex. He criticized the misconception that America First is about abstract numbers or global priorities. Bannon argued that America’s greatness lies in its pioneering spirit, which includes space exploration and the adventurers who built the nation. He also discussed the importance of the immigration debate in the MAGA movement, highlighting that cheap labor policies from CEOs and Marxists align. Finally, he reaffirmed that American citizens should be prioritized over foreign interests.
DC Draino BLASTS Big Tech Oligarchs For Support Of H-1B Visa Program
In a recent exchange between Steve Bannon and DC Draino, the conversation revolved around the tension between populist-nationalist values and the elite globalist agenda. DC Draino expressed frustration over recent political developments, highlighting the disconnect between the American people’s struggles and the elite’s tone-deaf decisions, such as pushing for more immigration while the nation faces crises like crime and illegal immigration. He equated this to a “Bud Light moment,” where companies and elites make disastrous decisions that alienate their base.
Bannon echoed similar sentiments, emphasizing that the core conflict is between populist-nationalists, who prioritize American citizens, and globalist elites, who seek to profit from cheap labor and undermine national sovereignty. He criticized the tech oligarchs for their role in outsourcing jobs and undermining American values, suggesting that they view the country as a hub for their global network, rather than a sovereign nation.
DC Draino agreed, calling for a shift in the movement where these elites must “take a backseat” and respect the true essence of American populism. He emphasized that any immigration policy must focus on prioritizing American workers, arguing that the previous approach of outsourcing and importing cheap labor has harmed American families and communities.
Seifert: America Is More Than An Economic Zone It Is Our Home
Michael Seifert, CEO of Public Square, discussed his frustrations about America’s direction, especially regarding H-1B visa programs and the prioritization of foreign workers over Americans. Seifert, who transitioned from Silicon Valley to create Public Square, is committed to building a “Patriot economy” centered around American workers. He argues that the November 2024 elections sent a clear message: America needs a populist future rooted in “America First” principles for business, tech, policy, and housing.
Seifert criticized the H-1B program, calling it a way to substitute American workers with cheaper foreign labor, which he believes undermines American talent. He referenced a National Academy of Sciences report showing that American seniors outperform other countries in computer sciences, challenging the narrative that Americans are not skilled enough. He emphasized that companies, including his own, should prioritize American workers and reject applicants from visa programs like H-1B. Seifert further argued that importing foreign talent harms countries like India by depriving them of their best engineers, who should remain in their own country to help it thrive.
In response to concerns that this approach might lead to America falling behind in tech, Seifert dismissed the argument, asserting that the best engineers are American. He stressed that cultural fit is crucial for his company’s success, not just technical ability, and that American engineers excel in both skills and innovation. Seifert’s stance is clear: his company will prioritize American talent to maintain strong cultural alignment and drive innovation. He invited listeners to check out Public Square, a platform supporting American-owned businesses, and engage with him on social media.
Laura Loomer Sounds Alarm On Big Tech Oligarchs Influencing Policy
In a candid conversation with Steve Bannon, Laura Loomer shed light on her ongoing battle with tech elites, particularly targeting the influence of Silicon Valley figures like Elon Musk. Loomer voiced concerns about the changes to the H1B visa system and the growing influence of tech billionaires, arguing that they are undermining President Trump’s original stance on immigration, especially with the abuse and fraud associated with the visa program. She slammed figures like Musk, accusing them of using their wealth to shape policy and disregarding the needs of ordinary Americans.
Loomer also raised alarm over Musk’s ties to China, specifically his business dealings in Shanghai, and questioned why such figures had unfettered access to Trump. She emphasized the need for transparency and integrity in the Trump administration, warning against conflicts of interest that could harm the campaign and tarnish Trump’s reputation.
On the topic of free speech, Loomer expressed frustration over her deplatforming by Musk’s Twitter, where her verified status and ability to receive subscriptions were revoked. She argued that Musk’s actions contradicted his claim of being a "free speech absolutist”, highlighting the risk of big tech influencing elections. Loomer warned that if these issues were not addressed, they could create a narrative used by Democrats to undermine Trump and potentially lead to impeachment in his second term.
For those looking to follow Loomer’s work, she directed supporters to her website, Loomer.com, and platforms like Rumble and Truth Social, where she continues to share her message.
Dave Brat: Immigration Invasion Is An Attack On The Judeo-Christian West
In a discussion with Steve Bannon, Dave Brat emphasized the importance of prioritizing American citizens over corporate interests, especially regarding immigration. He criticized the focus on STEM workers and engineers, noting that while CEOs push for more foreign labor, they neglect American children’s education, particularly in underperforming areas like Chicago. Brat highlighted that America has ample talent if it invests in its own youth. He stressed that immigration issues reveal the true allegiances of those in power, contrasting this with the moral foundations of the Judeo-Christian West, which, according to Brat, gives the U.S. a unique edge. He also expressed concern that tech billionaires like Elon Musk and Vivek Ramaswamy prioritize profit at the expense of the American worker. Brat concluded by promoting his content on Getter and his website, "Brat Economics,” as a resource for his followers.
Rosemary Jenks Reacts To Big Tech Billionaires Support Of Work Related Immigration Visas
Rosemary Jenks and Steve Bannon discussed the tech oligarchs’ push for mass legal immigration, which they argue benefits corporations at the expense of American workers. Jenks criticized the tech CEOs’ attempt to frame cheap labor as vital for America’s success, exposing their agenda through facts, data, and heartbreaking stories of displaced American workers. She emphasized the importance of having a rational debate about legal immigration. Jenks also questioned why employers prefer foreign graduates over American ones, despite the U.S. education system. She called for policies that prioritize American workers, urging accountability in the immigration debate. Jenks works with the Immigration Accountability Project, which advocates for these changes.
Raheem Kassam Blasts Tech Oligarchs For Censoring Anti-Immigration Invasion Voices
In a recent conversation, Steve Bannon and Raheem Kassam discussed the ongoing battle over immigration and the influence of big tech on U.S. policy. Raheem emphasized that the current immigration system, particularly the H1B visa program, is used to exploit workers as “indentured servants.” He argued that this system allows tech giants to manipulate immigration policies for their benefit, with little regard for American citizens or culture.
Raheem warned that mass immigration could lead the U.S. down a path similar to that of the UK, where unchecked immigration has caused cultural and societal fractures. He expressed frustration with the tech oligarchs, who, despite claiming to support policies like Trump’s, are ultimately trying to control political discourse and push their own agenda. Raheem made it clear that the fight over immigration is not just about policy but also about defending American values and protecting citizens who have built the country. He urged that this conversation is long overdue and expressed his commitment to ensuring the American people have a say in shaping their future.
