She asked if the H-1B visa would not be a big priority for Trump\u2019s administration, \u201cbecause if you want to raise wages for American workers, you can\u2019t flood the country with tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of foreign workers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s where it got interesting.<\/p>\n<p>Hats off to Ingraham for asking a simple follow-up question, which is something you don\u2019t often see anymore among mainstream journalists. It\u2019s a lost art. They have abandoned the hardnosed follow-up that often cuts to the core of the issue.<\/p>\n<p>Trump responded, \u201cI agree, but you also do have to bring talent.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ingraham cut in again with another follow-up to correct Trump, saying \u201cWell, we have plenty of talented people here.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Trump responded, \u201cNo, you don\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Ingraham cut in again, saying, \u201cWe don\u2019t have talented people here?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Fast-forward to about the 4-minute mark to hear the president\u2019s astonishing comments.<\/p>\n<div align=\"center\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/D9IU6xYC2gs?si=wDa-mX3PxqXuJ-im\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n&#8212;<\/div>\n<p>What we learned from this interview is that Trump believes in globalism and is at his core, a globalist. He is working to lure in foreign investors to build AI data centers, which will be used to enslave us. And he believes workers should be plucked from any far-flung country on the globe if it serves the interests of the major corporate investors and big government. Let\u2019s face it, that\u2019s who will benefit most from AI.<\/p>\n<p>These globalists don\u2019t see the value in hiring Americans, or investing in training Americans. Yes, it might take a little longer, but it gets people back to work and gives them a sense of value, bolstering American families in the process.<\/p>\n<p>But they\u2019d rather look to South Korea or China or India to get their workers. In fact, we\u2019re also getting many of our university students from China \u2014 600,000 of them under Trump\u2019s watch \u2014 to become engineers, programmers, etc. Many of these Chinese here on student visas will then switch over to a H-1B work visa after they graduate and take the job of an American.<\/p>\n<p>The truth is, there isn\u2019t any more \u201ctalent\u201d in China or India than there is here in America, but talent needs to be cultivated and that costs money. And the bottom line is that foreign students will work for a lot less money, even though they send most of their paycheck home to support their families abroad, rather than spend it here like Americans do. Cheap labor is the real drawing card for American corporate elites exploiting the H-1B program, not available talent. Trump\u2019s not only a globalist, he\u2019s a liar.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/leohohmann.substack.com\/subscribe\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\"><strong>Upgrade to paid<\/strong><\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/leohohmann.substack.com\/p\/trump-says-america-lacks-talent-to\">Source\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Laura Ingraham&#8217;s interview with the president draws out the real Trump, the man behind the facade of &#8216;America first&#8217;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":39267,"featured_media":170266,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_et_pb_use_builder":"","_et_pb_old_content":"","_et_gb_content_width":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[19,41],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-318429","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-Behind_The_News","category-Inside_the_White_House_and_Washingtons_Beltway"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318429","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/39267"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=318429"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318429\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":318432,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/318429\/revisions\/318432"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/170266"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=318429"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=318429"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.thetruthseeker.co.uk\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=318429"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
