Michael Seifert, CEO of Public Square, appeared on Friday’s WarRoom program and told Steve Bannon that he is passionate about one key principle: America is our home. He’s not just talking about geography but the values, culture, and people that make America great. His message resonates deeply with supporters of President Trump’s America First agenda. As President Trump heads back to the White House, understanding what Seifert says about America being “our home” is crucial for understanding the broader vision of many who support this agenda.

America Is More Than Just an Economic Zone
Seifert makes it clear that America isn’t just an economic hub or a place for business transactions. It’s our home—a cultural and national identity that must be protected. This perspective is foundational to Trump’s America First agenda, which prioritizes the interests of American citizens over global elites or foreign influence. The notion of America as home goes beyond politics or economics. It’s about safeguarding the values and principles that make this country unique.
In his conversation with Steve Bannon, Seifert emphasized that the American people are first—in business, policy, and hiring practices. For Seifert, this isn’t just a slogan; it’s a deep belief. As a result, he rejects the notion of prioritizing foreign talent through visa programs like H-1B. Seifert sees this as an attempt to deprive American workers of opportunities and undermine the nation’s core values.
The Pushback Against Globalism and Cheaper Foreign Labor
One of Seifert’s most powerful points is the criticism of visa programs that allow foreign workers to replace American labor at lower wages. He points out that these policies benefit multinational corporations and the global elite, not the average American worker. According to Seifert, these programs deprioritize native-born Americans in favor of cheaper labor from abroad.
This idea aligns with President Trump’s 2016 critique of the H-1B visa program, where he called it a "lie” that it’s designed for high-skilled workers. The truth, according to Trump and Seifert, is that these programs are often used to substitute American workers for foreign labor at lower costs.
For Seifert, supporting these visa programs undermines America’s talent and culture. He believes the best engineers and workers are American, and they should be prioritized. The goal is not just to create a competitive economy but to build a nation where American talent thrives, supported by policies that make it easier for them to succeed.
Preserving American Culture and Unity
Seifert also highlights the importance of cultural unity in American companies. He argues that companies should not only look for technical talent but should also prioritize workers who share the same values and mission. This cultural cohesion is vital for building a company that isn’t just about profits but about strengthening the American economy and creating a unified workforce.
The importance of culture also connects directly to Trump’s vision for a unified America—a nation where everyone works together toward common goals. Whether it’s in business, education, or society, a shared mission and common values are crucial for national strength. For Seifert, this isn’t just a business strategy—it’s a fundamental part of the American identity.
Trump’s America First Agenda: Putting Americans First
The common thread between Seifert’s remarks and Trump’s America First agenda is clear: America and Americans come first. From policy to business, everything should be rooted in the idea of strengthening the nation and ensuring that American workers and values are the priority. This aligns with the overwhelming mandate that Trump believes the American people gave in 2016 and will continue to give in 2024.
Seifert’s rejection of visa programs like H-1B is just one example of how Trump’s supporters are looking to put America’s best interests first—not the interests of multinational corporations, globalists, or foreign governments. It’s about building a future where American workers are the driving force behind the nation’s success.
Why This Matters for the 2024 Election
As President Trump prepares for his 2024 return to the White House, his supporters, like Seifert, seek leadership to champion America First policies. They want a future where America’s sovereignty and culture are preserved. For them, it’s not just about economic growth—protecting the American way of life and ensuring that future generations inherit a strong, unified nation.
Seifert’s message is a call to action for every American who believes in the America First movement. It’s about prioritizing the American people, defending American culture, and rejecting globalist agendas that don’t serve the nation’s best interests. For Seifert and for millions of Trump supporters, America is home, and they are ready to defend it.
