Miami Rising: The City That's Winning While America's Giants Fall

Young men aren't broken. They have strength. They have drive. They know deep down they were put on this Earth for a reason. But when culture refuses to channel that energy toward anything meaningful, it doesn't disappear. It curdles. In this clip from our conversation with Trey Tucker, author of Tough Enough, he explains why an entire generation of young men has been pushed aside, what that silence is doing to them, and why the most powerful thing an older generation can do right now is simply say: "You are needed." #cortesinvestigates #toughenough #treytucker #youngmen #genz

Culture Abandoned Young Men | Author Trey Tucker on What Comes Next

Most Americans have never heard the name General Zaluzhnyi. They should. He's the military commander who led Ukraine's defense brilliantly at its most desperate hours and the man Zelensky allegedly sent security forces to raid while the war was still raging. This isn't politics. This is a scandal. Imagine FDR sending the FBI to raid General Eisenhower in the middle of World War II. That's what happened in Ukraine — and the Western media has almost completely buried it. As America First realism pushes toward a peace deal in Ukraine, the truth about Zelensky's leadership matters. Real peace requires real partners. And it requires the American people to know what's actually happening on the ground. 🔔 Subscribe for daily America First foreign policy analysis and the news Washington doesn't want you to see. Topics covered: - Who is General Zaluzhnyi and why his story matters - How Zelensky used his security forces against Ukraine's own military command - Why peace in Ukraine requires a clear-eyed look at Zelensky's record - What America First realism and restraint means for Ukraine's future #cortesinvestigates #ukraine #ukrainewar #ukrainenews #zaluzhny

The General Who Saved Ukraine And How Zelensky Turned on Him

Does NATO still make sense for the United States or has it become an expensive relic of the Cold War? Reporting live from Rome, Italy, just steps from the U.S. Embassy, we're asking the question Washington doesn't want to answer. For decades, the wealthy nations of Western Europe have operated under the military protection of the United States, all while paying a fraction of the cost. It may have made sense during the Cold War. It does NOT make sense today. And President Trump may finally be the leader willing to say it out loud. In this video, we make the case that America's non-interventionist future starts with a hard, honest look at NATO and what real alliances are supposed to cost. 🔔 Subscribe for more on America First foreign policy and the news that matters to Patriots. Topics covered: - Why NATO no longer serves American interests - How Western Europe became a U.S. military protectorate - Why Trump's skepticism of NATO is strategically sound - What a post-NATO America First foreign policy looks like #CortesInvestigates #NATO #donaldtrump #donaldtrumpnews #coldwar #americafirst

Does NATO Still Make Sense for America?

Gen Z isn't broken but they ARE lost. And the answer isn't more therapy, more hustle, or more scrolling. Author and licensed therapist Trey Tucker joins Steve Cortes to break down what's really going wrong with the youngest generation and what can actually fix it. Tucker's new book Tough Enough: Hone Your Habits, Cultivate Purpose, and Force Genuine Strength cuts through the noise with counter-cultural advice backed by research: why silence is more powerful than distraction, why hookup culture is leaving young people empty, why young men feel pushed aside and why older generations have abandoned their most important job: mentoring the next one. This conversation covers: - The two losing games Gen Z is playing and why both lead nowhere - Why young men feel "not needed" by modern culture and what to do about it - The danger of hustle culture as a substitute for real purpose - How to build a personal "team" including the one role most people forget - What an "insultant" is and why every young person needs one - The critical message for Gen X, Boomers, parents, and bosses 🔔 Subscribe for daily conversations on faith, culture, and America First values.📖 Tough Enough by Trey Tucker, available now.
