Mitch McConnell is at it again, pushing Washington Post op-eds to convince you the Ukraine war deserves even more of your borrowed money. The DC establishment, Republican and Democrat alike, never tires of escalating foreign conflicts with zero compelling US national interest. In this video, I break down McConnell's latest push to keep funneling taxpayer dollars into the Ukraine war, a conflict propped up with borrowed money we don't have, flowing to a provably corrupt government in Kyiv. The Washington establishment calls this foreign policy. I call it reckless interventionism at your expense. What you'll see: - Why McConnell's Washington Post op-ed is pure war propaganda - How the DC uniparty uses your credit to fund endless overseas conflicts - The corruption angle the mainstream media won't cover - Why there is no compelling US national interest justifying this spending Check out the full article on my website. #CortesInvestigates #UkraineWar #MitchMcConnell #UkraineNews #USForeignPolicy

New York City is dirty, dangerous, and increasingly unlivable for all but the very wealthiest people. While NYC still carries tremendous energy as the capital of the world, it's failing to live up to what it should be and cities like Philadelphia, Chicago, and Los Angeles are facing the same crisis. In this video, I explain why America's great cities are declining and why they should be learning from Miami a city that is doing things RIGHT, particularly in law enforcement, public order, and public safety. See my documentary on Miami. Key Topics Covered: - Why New York City is becoming unlivable - The decline of major American cities: NYC, Philadelphia, Chicago, LA - How Miami's approach to law enforcement and public safety is succeeding - What failing cities can learn from Miami's model - The connection between public order and quality of life #cortesinvestigates #newyorkcity #nyc #nycliving #miami

Establishment Republicans want to go soft on immigration and frankly, they don't mind losing because of it. But immigration remains by far the strongest major macro issue for the GOP, and a powerful contrast against the radical open-borders Democrats. So why are these surrender Republicans pushing us back to Bush-era corporate Republicanism? In this video, I break down: • Why immigration is still the #1 winning issue for Republicans • How establishment Republicans are betraying voters for corporate interests • Why returning to Bush/corporate Republicanism is both unprincipled AND a losing strategy • The stark contrast between border-security Republicans and open-borders Democrats The war is unpopular. Voters are frustrated with the economy. But on immigration, Republicans have a winning hand — if they don't throw it away. #cortesinvestigates #republican #immigration #politicsnews #politics

The Southern Poverty Law Center has been criminally indicted — and what they're charged with will rewrite everything you thought you knew about Charlottesville. The so-called "Charlottesville" moment that launched a thousand "Trump is racist" headlines? It turns out the riot itself was organized and financed by the SPLC. The hoax didn't just flow from the event — the event was the hoax. A staged crisis, manufactured by a corrupt organization, designed to permanently brand Donald Trump and his supporters as white supremacists. The truth is finally catching up.

How They Used Charlottesville to Destroy Trump's Reputation—New Evidence #exposed #viral #truth

The Iran War just ripped the mask off NATO and what's underneath isn't pretty. If you believe in America First, realism, and restraint, you need to see this. For decades, American taxpayers have been bankrolling the defense of wealthy Western European nations and the moment the US needed those allies to stand up, they turned their backs. The US Iran war didn't just reshape the Middle East. It exposed a fundamental question every patriot should be asking: Is NATO still worth it for America? In this video, we break down: - How the Iran war laid bare NATO's transformation from a great alliance into an American protectorate - Why hard-working American citizens are subsidizing the lifestyles of Western Europe's wealthiest nations - The real existential threat to America — and why it's not across the Atlantic - Why a pivot toward the Pacific and building prosperity right here in our own hemisphere is the America first foreign policy for 2026 and beyond - NATO was once magnificent. The question is whether it still serves American interests — or just European ones. Watch and decide for yourself. #CortesInvestigates #AmericaFirst #IranWar #USnews #war

While Los Angeles, Chicago, New York, and Philadelphia spiral into crime and decay one American city is thriving. Miami is the model America needs right now. The Miami Model is a full-length documentary exploring how Miami transformed from one of America's most dangerous cities into its most powerful and what every other major city got catastrophically wrong. Inside this documentary: - How Miami achieved 4x less violent crime than St. Louis and 3x less than Philadelphia - Why Illinois's richest man Ken Griffin abandoned Chicago for Miami - How Miami spends half per citizen compared to New York and Los Angeles and delivers better results - The leadership decisions that kept Miami thriving during COVID-19 while other cities collapsed - Why families, entrepreneurs, and law enforcement officers are choosing South Florida over legacy cities - Operation Summer Heat 3,300 felony arrests and what it meant for public safety - Voices of real Miami residents: parents, immigrants, police officers, and business leaders 🎙️ Featuring: Ken Griffin, Patrick Bet David, Jeff Matola (former Miami Beach Police), Dr. Fernando Salvado, Noli Zalvar, and more. Miami didn't happen by accident. It happened because of choices on policing, education, fiscal discipline, and leadership. This documentary breaks down exactly what those choices were, and why they matter for the future of every American city. 📍 The Miami model isn't just a Florida story. It's a blueprint. #CortesInvestigates #MiamiDocumentary #MiamiModel #AmericanCities #Florida #Miami

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.
