"The H-1B Program Is A Total And Complete Scam.” Steve Bannon On Tech Oligarchs Hatred For America

Steve Bannon’s  opening commentary on December 28, 2024, delved into the perceived cultural and economic threats to the United States, particularly focusing on the H-1B visa program. He criticized it as a "total and complete scam” that undermines American workers by favoring foreign labor, often at the expense of U.S. citizens. Bannon argued that the program perpetuates a "hate America” agenda, driven by Silicon Valley elites aiming to create a techno-feudal society where American workers are reduced to serfs.

While acknowledging Elon Musk’s pivotal role in amplifying election integrity efforts and innovation, Bannon disagreed with Musk on issues like immigration, transhumanism, and reliance on foreign talent. He challenged Musk and others to provide evidence that foreign workers outperform capable American citizens in tech roles. Bannon emphasized prioritizing American citizens, linking the nation’s success to its grassroots institutions and cultural resilience.

Bannon underscored the historical and patriotic foundations of the U.S., praising the grit and determination that built the nation. He connected current struggles to preserve American values and innovation to past triumphs, invoking the spirit of liberty and ingenuity. Calling for resistance against oligarchs and globalists, he asserted that patriots would never yield to forces undermining the Republic. Encouraging reflection on America’s heritage, Bannon urged his audience to channel the resolve depicted in "The Right Stuff,” reaffirming his commitment to defending American sovereignty and traditions.

Julie Kelly On The Accountability That Kash Patel And Pan Bondi Will Oversee In Next Trump Term

Steve Bannon and Julie Kelly discuss key developments in the legal challenges facing Donald Trump and his associates. Kelly highlights recent reports showing that Jack Smith, the special prosecutor leading the investigation into Trump, and his team are “lawyering up” and reviewing both personal and professional communications to avoid any potential political or partisan missteps. They are concerned about the fallout if they flip on Trump and are also taking measures to protect their personal assets, including their spouses’ holdings.

Bannon and Kelly emphasize the importance of holding those responsible for the January 6th committee, particularly Liz Cheney, accountable for their actions, as well as addressing the mishandling of classified documents during the FBI’s Mar-a-Lago search. They argue that individuals like Smith and his top prosecutors should be investigated for possible misconduct and corruption, including the breach of search warrant terms during the Mar-a-Lago raid.

Kelly also criticizes the testimony of Cassidy Hutchinson, claiming her story about January 6th, including a confrontation in the presidential vehicle, was fabricated. They argue that Hutchinson’s testimony was never corroborated and may have involved perjury or witness tampering. Both Bannon and Kelly stress the need for continued investigation and accountability, especially as the January 20th deadline approaches.

Steve also criticizes the left’s portrayal of the MAGA movement as racist, arguing that it now includes a diverse coalition of African-American and Hispanic families. He passionately defends the movement, insisting that it represents a fight for the American people, especially against the open border policies of the Biden administration. The conversation touches on the importance of merit-based immigration and the need to focus on supporting American citizens first, rather than furthering globalist agendas. Both Steve and Jack express unwavering determination to continue fighting, regardless of attempts to silence or discredit them.

Raheem Kassam: Elon Musk Is Propping Up Anti-Trump Activists In H-1B Visa Fight

Raheem Kassam and Steve Bannon discussed the ongoing political fight concerning immigration and its impact on American citizens. Kassam highlighted the frustration over the lack of progress since 2016, stressing that if this battle isn’t fought now, it will lead to further mass migration and frustration. He emphasized the role of ordinary American voters in electing Trump, noting that they are the ones who should be prioritized. Bannon criticized the H-1B visa system, claiming it facilitates legal immigration that replaces American workers, pointing out that the system allows for exceptions, leading to more than the intended 85,000 immigrants annually. They also criticized Elon Musk’s stance on immigration, with Bannon condemning Musk’s remarks that America First policies are a form of racism and sexism. Both argued that legal immigration, particularly the H-1B system, is a “scam” and that American taxpayers are unfairly funding it. Bannon called for a temporary halt to legal immigration to address these issues.

Darren Beattie: H-1B Visas Are Not About Talent, It’s About Cost Cutting

Darren Beattie discussed the importance of separating substance from factional disputes in the debate surrounding H1B visas. He criticized the narrative that tech companies are seeking to attract high-skilled talent, arguing that H1Bs are often about cost-cutting, with companies exploiting cheaper labor. Beattie highlighted that the real benefit for H1B recipients is the expectation of a green card and the subsequent chain migration, with taxpayers ultimately shouldering the long-term costs. He also pointed out that the H1B system distorts the labor market by offering lower wages than Americans would accept for the same work. Beattie stressed the need for a “Manhattan Project” to cultivate native talent and claimed that the focus on the H1B visa is a diversion from a broader issue of national sovereignty. He criticized the practice as a form of economic exploitation that undermines American workers. Beattie emphasized that real talent should come from cultivating domestic innovation, not relying on cheap foreign labor, and urged a shift away from this model.
