GOLDEN AGE GROWTH: Steve Cortes On How Trump Immigration Policy Will Replicate 2019 Economy

Steve Bannon and Steve Cortes discussed the latest job numbers, AI’s disruptive impact, and the economic strategy for President Trump’s second term. Cortes, now leading a group focused on securing manufacturing jobs for native-born and Hispanic Americans, praised the rise in real wages—calling them the "mother’s milk of prosperity”—but flagged serious concerns in the labor market. Despite a solid top-line jobs number, the government and health care sectors drove most of the gains, while manufacturing lost 7,000 jobs. Cortes emphasized that AI is rapidly accelerating in capability, doubling every several months, and already replacing high-paying white-collar jobs, as seen in Microsoft’s 9,000 job cuts. The two warned that unchecked illegal immigration and excessive visa programs like H1B could further erode job security amid AI-driven disruptions. They stressed that President Trump’s policies, including upcoming executive actions, aim to replicate the 2019 wage boom by prioritizing American labor and smart growth.

LAVORGNA: "CBO’s Pessimistic Growth Estimate Ignores Real Productivity Gains Under Trump”

Steve Bannon and economist Joe LaVorgna celebrated the imminent signing of President Trump’s "One Big Beautiful Bill,” calling it a transformational supply-side economic package. LaVorgna emphasized that the Congressional Budget Office (CBO) and Federal Reserve use outdated, pessimistic growth forecasts—like 1.8%—while real GDP under Trump has shown potential for 3% growth. The bill includes provisions such as full expensing of capital equipment and regulatory rollbacks, which will benefit small businesses and U.S. manufacturing. LaVorgna argued the CBO’s deficit projections are flawed because they ignore the surge of investment and productivity likely to result from the bill, including growth from AI and increased energy independence. Bannon highlighted how President Trump personally secured votes in the House—making calls at 2:30 AM—to get the bill through. LaVorgna pointed to bond yields, equity markets, and rising work hours as signals that investors and businesses are anticipating a second-half economic boom under Trump’s leadership.

ANTONI:"Real Story Is Surging Full-Time Jobs, Improved Native-Born Employment, And Real Wage Growth”

Steve Bannon and economist E.J. Antoni celebrated the latest jobs report as a major victory for President Trump’s economic agenda, sharply contrasting it with the policies of the Biden era. Antoni noted that the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) showed stronger-than-expected job growth and, for the first time in years, upward revisions to prior months—marking a significant departure from the downward revisions seen under Biden.

Antoni emphasized that under Trump, the quality of jobs improved: all net gains were full-time positions, not part-time stopgaps driven by economic strain. Native-born Americans—rather than foreign-born workers—are now seeing historic employment growth, including the best June on record.

Bannon argued this shift reflects deep bias within federal agencies, calling the BLS "rigged against MAGA.” Both men criticized the Federal Reserve’s failed forecasts, with Antoni urging the removal of Fed Chair Jerome Powell.

The tone: optimistic for Trump’s economic resurgence—and combative toward the administrative state.
