A lot of people on the right are feeling something they do not really want to say out loud: they love President Trump, but they do not love some of the people and policies orbiting him right now. That tension exploded again over H-1B visas after Trump’s rocky interview with Laura Ingraham and a follow-up rant from Michael Savage that struck a nerve with a lot of frustrated American workers.

Savage is not some NeverTrump crank looking for attention. He was one of Trump’s earliest and loudest supporters. He is also one of the few people on the right who will still talk plainly about what H-1B and mass legal migration have actually done to American workers, especially in the tech industry. In this podcast, he lays out why Trump’s recent comments on “not enough talented Americans” sent his audience into orbit and why the movement cannot afford to sound like Silicon Valley talking points on foreign labor.
This is not a hit piece, and it is not a panic attack. It is a serious America First critique from someone who has been in Trump’s corner from day one, and it is a warning about how quickly you can lose real workers when you sound more like Google’s HR department than the guy who promised to put American workers first.
Savage breaks down how H-1B isn’t a harmless “skills visa.” It’s actually a hostile, corporate-driven pipeline that’s been used for decades to replace American workers with cheaper foreign labor. He points to Trump’s interview with Laura Ingraham as the spark, noting how Trump’s line about “not enough talented Americans” landed like a gut punch with workers who’ve watched their careers gutted by visa abuse.

Savage then dives into what’s really happening. Americans in tech, engineering, and STEM are getting shoved aside. Silicon Valley is replacing entire teams with cheap, imported labor. Older workers are being tossed in the dustbin. Young graduates are locked out of fields they studied and trained for. The US hiring system is dominated by foreign networks and corporate greed.
He also warns that Trump’s inner circle is drifting back toward donor-world messaging, and he’s not fully engaged with what everyday people are feeling. Savage says that if Trump sounds disconnected from the struggles of American workers, especially now, it risks everything he’s worked for, because he’ll lose the midterms in a blowout.

Savage’s point is simple: Trump is still the only hope for fixing this, but he needs to hear the truth from his team sooner than later.
Savage’s message is the same one a lot of Americans are quietly screaming: H-1B isn’t a “talent program.” It’s a wage-cutting scheme. It’s a hostile takeover of American careers. And the people hurt the most aren’t elites; they’re middle-class workers Trump promised to protect.
Now, that doesn’t mean that Trump supporters aren’t turning on him. He’s come a long way on the H-1B issue since his first term in 2016, but he’s still got a long way to go. The bottom line is that H-1B has never been America First, and it never will be. And the people who helped build this movement aren’t going to pretend it is.
