00:00:00.000Sensible Wisconsin Midwestern patriots demand law and order and immigration control.
00:00:07.880Let me show you in the latest numbers my polling from the Badger State.
00:00:11.680We asked Wisconsin citizens, should state and local police fully cooperate with federal law enforcement on immigration?
00:00:17.920By a plus 23% margin, Wisconsin citizens say yes. Among Hispanics, plus 29%.
00:00:24.920We then described the current Trump policy of offering generous cash incentives to illegals who will self-deport.
00:00:30.840If they don't take us up on the offer, they are subject to deportation.
00:00:34.180By plus 24%, Wisconsin citizens believe in this policy. Hispanics, plus 42%.
00:00:40.620We also asked Wisconsin citizens if they want to imitate next-door Minnesota when it comes to immigration policy,
00:00:47.760and they don't want to follow that radicalism.
00:00:49.840Only 27% want to be like Minnesota. Only 28% of Catholics in Wisconsin, which is a deeply Catholic swing state.
00:00:57.400So the verdict is clearly in. We're going to protect our wages, our street safety, and our national security.
00:01:03.520And this is a consensus opinion in a key swing state.
00:01:07.620Okay, we've got all this, we have all these primaries coming up, and Cortez, this is so powerful because it's Wisconsin.
00:01:17.020It's not like Texas or Arizona, and people seem to have forgotten this.
00:01:21.460It's still central, and you see up in Wisconsin.
00:01:23.920You had the governor of Wisconsin on the other day, and they catch him in the, I think, the Capitol.
00:01:27.880And he's sitting there going, Trump and these people are, and the deportation people are, if you actually had enforcement of our immigration laws,
00:01:37.020the economy of Wisconsin would collapse.
00:02:49.840We're going to have a wide-open race to replace him.
00:02:52.300On the Republican side, it's Tom Tiffany who takes immigration enforcement seriously, thankfully.
00:02:56.920And the people of Wisconsin overwhelmingly agree with him, including, by the way, Hispanic citizens.
00:03:02.560And I'd also point out, Steve, regarding this poll, you know, I do my polling rigorously and scientifically.
00:03:08.300This was not a great poll for Republicans overall.
00:03:10.940The economic numbers, frankly, were pretty dismal.
00:03:13.300So I was by no means using a sample where I was putting my thumb on the scale.
00:03:18.040But on immigration, the people's will is clear, and particularly when the Trump policies explain to them.
00:03:23.700I think that's maybe the key finding that I learned is that a lot of Americans don't realize that generous cash incentives have been offered to every single illegal alien.
00:03:33.840We will literally put money in your pocket, pay for the flight home.
00:03:38.780That's an incredibly magnanimous and generous offer from the American people to a lot of folks who have trespassed, who have broken entered into our homeland.
00:03:47.300When that is explained to people that that's the policy, and if you don't take us up on the generous offer, you then get deported, the support is overwhelming among Hispanics, as I pointed out there, plus 42% margin in favor of that Trump policy.
00:04:01.100By the way, when that's explained even to Kamala Harris voters, let me give you the data here.
00:04:04.760Even among Kamala Harris voters, 28% actually support the Trump policy.
00:04:09.900If it's explained to them, 28%, a third almost, of Kamala Harris voters in Wisconsin.
00:04:16.080And I also put that, speaking of that same number, 28%, the reason I mentioned the Catholic part there, I think that's very relevant just today because, of course, we know that the Conference of Catholic Bishops, unfortunately, issued an amicus briefing before the Supreme Court weighing in on birthright citizenship, something that the church has no standing to even talk about, has never talked about in Europe.
00:04:35.620All of the Catholic countries of Europe do not have birthright citizenship.
00:04:40.700So the faithful in Wisconsin are clearly in step with the America First vision on immigration and not with Catholic leadership vision on this very key issue.
00:04:54.180If you ask the questions in a fair and objective manner, a supermajority of Americans are in favor of rigorous immigration enforcement.
00:05:02.740Okay, given the debacle in Virginia, it looks like the Spanburgers will be able to drive through unless there's some amazing rearguard action that takes place at 10 to 1 in Virginia.
00:05:14.280Those counties, the rearguard valley in South Texas that you fought so hard for are really the first person to come up and say, hey, I think these Hispanic citizens can actually be super mega, which they turned out to be, Stark County, et cetera.
00:05:26.320The president is going to Corpus Christi today because a lot of the establishments are saying, oh, you've got to change the message.
00:05:31.020Those three seats that have kind of been created down there are going to, I believe, hold the fate of the republic in its hands.
00:05:38.300I know you're going to go back down there, Steve, but what would be your message to people talking about that kind of those hard-bitten folks with tons of grit that are in South Texas and the rear Grand Valley, American citizens, the Hispanic Americans down there, sir?
00:05:54.280Yeah, by the way, it's an incredible part of the country, South Texas.
00:05:58.300I've learned so much by going there several times for documentaries and other investigative work.
00:06:02.920And one of the things I learned, for example, is they're some of the most faithful people in America, some of the most Christian, really just spirit-filled folks that you can find, whether it's Hispanic evangelicals or Hispanic Catholics in South Texas, intensely patriotic.
00:06:16.100Many of them, most of them, have family members or close relations to them who actually work in Border Patrol.
00:06:21.420It's a huge part of the population down there, a lot of bad hombres defending the United States.
00:06:26.820And here's my message for the power brokers in Washington, D.C. and elsewhere.
00:06:32.380The ruling class right now is trying an end around.
00:06:35.660They're essentially throwing a Hail Mary pass and saying, this is our chance to get back immigration to where we want it, which is tolerating porous borders.
00:06:43.280And we're claiming that, guess what, you're in political trouble with Hispanics because of the immigration policies of America First and President Trump.
00:06:53.660Now, are there vulnerabilities among Hispanic voters?
00:06:55.940I think there are, but it's about the economy.
00:06:58.720In other words, working-class people, whatever their ethnicity, whatever their color, working-class people are still very unhappy with the economy.
00:07:05.660They have largely now transferred their economic angst from Joe Biden over to the Republicans as the governing party.
00:07:13.260Now, again, I think there's a great story to tell, particularly about real wages.
00:07:16.720I think we've got to be more aggressive at telling that, at selling that vision to working-class people, including Hispanics in this country.
00:07:26.040So don't fall for this nonsense from establishment Republicans who claim we're going to lose Hispanics over immigration.
00:07:31.700The numbers actually tell us the exact opposite.
00:07:34.620And, again, the crux of it really is about real incomes.
00:07:37.900If you want real incomes to keep growing, and that's the mother's milk of Main Street prosperity, it's real income.
00:07:45.060If we want real incomes to keep growing, the best way to get there and to accelerate this positive trend is more deportations, more enforcement of immigration, more illegal workers leaving this country.
00:07:56.460And if you want rents to drop and the affordability thing, keep sending them, Steve, you've nailed it.
00:08:05.640The Wisconsin poll people should pay attention to, and we look forward to getting you back down to the Rio Grande Valley in South Texas, sir.
00:08:13.740Yeah, please go to cortesinvestigates.com, Cortez with an S.
00:08:17.360All my stuff's there, documentaries, polling, everything.
00:08:19.620My newest documentary features a guy named Steve Bannon as one of the, among other illustrious guests, one of the guests who made this doc really compelling about China's college takeover.
00:09:52.120The people they've killed more of in history are their own people, the Lao Bajing.
00:09:56.320Your thoughts now on this emergency order that the president's thinking of putting out next week predicated in a big part about Chinese Communist Party influence and actually stepping into the 2020 election to get Trump out of office, sir.
00:10:15.820First of all, again, this proves how important your show and the Mao score is because we're talking about Chinese people that's not equal to the Chinese Communist Party.
00:10:26.780And also, you were talking about Chinese infiltration and Chinese 3F plans in the U.S.
00:13:50.200That's not political connotation or, like, some information, some guessing.
00:13:54.240This is top information and secrets from the top CCP-level officials and in the military.
00:14:00.600And it's been proven right all the time.
00:14:03.320It continues to be proven right, right?
00:14:05.700And that's the reason why the CCP is dreaming about putting you into prison again and to destroy Trump in 26 and 28 and then put him into prison and destroy all the people around him.
00:14:18.560And we've been doing this since 2020 or even since 2017 when Miles first came out and talk about Dominion Machine, talk about the infiltration, talk about the control, and talk about the unrestricted warfare.
00:14:43.080I'm going to talk about what's going to happen next week and the next two weeks about the exposure of this with the summit that's going to come up in April.
00:16:36.320Forrest, so it's been in the Washington Post.
00:16:40.280It's been in the NBC report about this interference and what may come out.
00:16:45.500Looks like it could come out in the next couple of weeks.
00:16:47.080John Solomon's going to be back with us Monday, if not tomorrow.
00:16:50.920And John's got a lot of breaking news on that.
00:16:52.900Given that it looks like there could be some assertion of Chinese Communist Party influence or direct meddling in the 2020 election after the pandemic didn't work to drive Trump from office, they had to go this.
00:17:10.560President Trump's got a major state visit tentatively scheduled.
00:17:14.860I think for April they're trying to work through.
00:17:17.040What would be your recommendation to him about this state visit with the Chinese Communist Party after it's exposed that they did try to and attempted to and probably had a big party in driving him from office illegally in 2020, sir?
00:17:30.260Okay, first of all, I would raise awareness of President Trump and his cabinet.
00:17:37.880No more wishful thinking or illusion because the CCP will do anything to survive this three years of the previous guest talked about.
00:19:14.100I think that that words, interfering, is too weak.
00:19:17.500That's why I 100% support President Trump's action.
00:19:20.720We need to do this in order to save this country, in order to save the freedom and democracy in this country.
00:19:26.180Forrest, is there any doubt in your mind that the Chinese Communist Party is the existential threat to the Lao Bajing, the Chinese people, also to the United States of America and the American people, sir?
00:20:58.040There may be some short-term military action, but I'm not certain that it's going to necessarily provoke war or lead to war, even if there is an exchange of hostilities.
00:21:07.000That doesn't necessarily rise to the level of a war, but, yes, this is serious, and, yes, the United States has deployed an extraordinary set of assets to the Middle East, and never before, as many commentators have pointed out, Steve, has the United States deployed so many assets to a given region without using them.
00:21:27.200So you think that this could be essentially maybe coercive diplomacy if we're to see anything?
00:21:33.020I think that's what it's been to date, but, you know, it was Wendy Sherman, who was a senior State Department official under President Obama and an architect of the Iran nuclear deal of that era, who testified before the Senate at the time that DNA is—or, excuse me, deception is in the Iranians' DNA.
00:21:52.140Of course, she was speaking about the regime and not the people of Iran.
00:21:54.860So there are a lot of folks who have gazed upon President Trump's efforts to negotiate a new nuclear deal with Iran with some perplexity, because, number one, after the strikes of last June, President Trump himself told us that the Iranian nuclear program had been obliterated, and that's a very strong word with very clear meaning.
00:22:16.820It means gone. And yet now we have some need for a nuclear deal. Well, how could there be a need for a nuclear deal if the entire program was obliterated?
00:22:26.800And then, again, to that question of whether the Iranians will ever abide by the terms of a deal, negotiate faithfully towards a deal, just as the Obama administration understood, that's—it's in their DNA to deceive.
00:22:40.060And a number of columns recently have been written to the effect, and I think this is true, that there are different estimations or assessments on the part of the United States and its allies and Iran as to what success in a war or a limited military exchange might look like.
00:22:57.480And for the regime, they would rather take the bombing campaign than give away their enrichment rights, as long as the regime survives.
00:23:06.380That's their number one goal. It's unclear what the U.S. goal, the military objective in Iran for the United States would be right now.
00:23:14.360President Trump hasn't been specific about it, and there's some strategic value in remaining vague about your intentions.
00:23:20.820But would it be simply, again, to inflict more damage on the programs of their nuclear apparatus or their missile capabilities, or would it be, in fact, regime change?
00:23:30.300All of that is still in the air, and as you say, all of it, Steve, is serious.
00:23:33.700I thought of you in your magnificent book about Associate Justice Scalia the other night during the State of the Union when the president addressed the Supreme Court.
00:23:44.240I think now more than ever, people need to get this book and read it.
00:23:48.340The first volume is magisterial. The second volume is incredible.
00:23:52.940You're working, I know, on the third volume.
00:23:54.340Why is it now more than ever time to really get to know Scalia, particularly given some of the edge that the president has with the Supreme Court right now?
00:24:05.460So everything you see, if you just do a 360, when you look around you, everything you see, every aspect of American life was touched, shaped materially by Antonin Scalia.
00:24:15.960So the time is ripe to learn about him because it will enable you to learn about modern America and how we got here.
00:24:22.280Everything from race relations to free speech rights to the presidential election of 2000 that shaped the next 25 years.
00:24:29.060So it helps you learn about modern America to understand Antonin Scalia.
00:24:33.560In the case of the most recent Supreme Court ruling, from I guess it was last week now, where the court ruled 6-3 against the lawfulness of President Trump's global tariff program,
00:24:45.700which he had predicated on a 1977 Emergency Powers Act that doesn't mention tariffs.
00:24:50.300I think that even that decision, to some extent, bore the imprimatur of Antonin Scalia, because in crafting the majority opinion,
00:24:59.360Chief Justice Roberts went primarily, first and foremost, to the text of the 1977 Emergency Powers Law.
00:25:05.880That is a textualist approach, which was, of course, an approach that Justice Scalia championed and which was a fringe theory when he came along and has become dominant now.
00:25:15.200And in looking at the 1977 law, Chief Justice Roberts noted that it didn't contain the word tariffs,
00:25:21.980which is another way, for example, that conservative judges and justices look upon abortion.
00:25:27.360It's not mentioned in the Constitution, right?
00:25:29.980So, and furthermore, Roberts said that the law actually states from 1977 only that the president may, in times of declared emergencies,
