On this episode of the podcast, I sit down with Laura Loomer, CEO and Founder of Cortez Wealth Management, to discuss what it means to be a conservative in the 21st century and why it s important to have a solid conservative foundation in your life.
00:00:01.000As you probably have noticed and you're probably experiencing in your own life, life is getting very expensive these days.
00:00:08.000You go to the grocery store and you spend $250, $300 on groceries and you realize you don't really get that much for your money anymore.
00:00:16.000You also may have noticed, if you live here in Florida where I live, that your homeowner insurance rates are rising, the cost of rent or the cost of being a homeowner has risen substantially.
00:00:27.000And with this, a lot of people are asking them this question.
00:00:31.000How am I supposed to save for retirement?
00:00:34.000How am I supposed to have investments?
00:00:36.000Or how am I supposed to accumulate wealth if I'm spending all of my money just trying to survive?
00:00:43.000Unfortunately, a lot of people have developed bad spending habits, but even if you are good at managing your own wealth or you think you are, a lot of people are finding themselves unable to really have a savings account or really have what they call disposable income.
00:01:00.000With that, a lot of people may want to I think?
00:01:38.000And you're, of course, a sponsor of Loomerd.com, so for full disclosure.
00:01:44.000And you support my work because I'm an America First content creator.
00:01:48.000And what's really interesting about your company, right, Cortez Wealth Management, and what you do is that you're helping people invest from an America First content Right.
00:02:14.000Companies that are located here in America.
00:02:16.000And we see that with the redistribution of wealth and this global push, not just by the Biden administration, but really all around the world, right, to kind of globalize wealth, this idea of you'll own nothing and you'll be happy, and that you're just going to be ruled by a bunch of global elites.
00:02:34.000Or now we're seeing digital currencies.
00:02:36.000We're seeing things like social credit score systems or just different types of So why don't you kind of break down,
00:03:02.000introduce yourself and explain what you do over at Cortez Wealth Management?
00:04:02.000So I grew up with conservatism through both ways.
00:04:07.000Growing up in Fort Bragg, North Carolina, I had the unfortunate situation where I had to make friends every single year because the kids moved because mom got shot, dad got shot.
00:04:40.000With this whole Black Lives Matter garbage that's going on, now this pro-Hamas garbage and the LGBT, it's like America wants to literally cater to the victim card.
00:05:20.000People who are promoting civil disobedience and a lack of law and order in society seem to be heavily funded.
00:05:28.000And you see that there are movements that are putting a lot of investments into these radical left-wing movements, right?
00:05:34.000And unfortunately, the people that are speaking out against those things, right, whether it be communism or Black Lives Matter, or now we're seeing blatant pro-support of terrorist organizations with You know, the war between Israel and Hamas It's kind of a backward situation,
00:05:52.000Where the people that are on the side of evil are getting all the money in the world, and they're getting all the investments and all of the donor backing, and then people who are conservative are being penalized.
00:06:05.000And then this is what we see with advertiser boycotts.
00:06:10.000And I think we all saw this this week with the way that even Elon Musk, right, one of the wealthiest men in the world, at one point the richest man in the world, He himself, it doesn't matter how much money you have.
00:06:20.000You still could be a victim of this type of cancel culture, especially if you're dependent on other companies investing into you.
00:06:29.000And so you're trying to help people regain control of their own lives and to prepare for these dips and for catastrophes by partnering them with people.
00:07:04.000There's no more straight people either.
00:07:06.000They're all like gay, biracial couples or...
00:07:09.000And look, I don't have a problem with gay people or biracial people, but it is really interesting how, you know, we're still a majority white country in a sense, and yet, you're right, there's barely any white people in commercials anymore.
00:07:20.000Everything features a gay couple or some type of, you know, trans illusion now.
00:07:26.000So, it is very interesting, and a lot of people are noticing that.
00:07:30.000A lot of people are noticing just kind of the shift in the advertising world and who these companies are trying to market to.
00:07:39.000Yeah, and it's interesting because it doesn't stop with commercials.
00:10:54.000Well, when you're doing business with the big banks, the woke companies like Wells Fargo, Edward Jones, Morgan Stanley, how you know they're woke?
00:11:21.000So yeah, we want to scan from all these companies that don't think like you do.
00:11:25.000So if you have a ship, like if you are on a boat and your captain doesn't agree where you want to go to or doesn't take you to your destination, how do you know that captain's the right one?
00:11:36.000If you have an advisor that has taken the vaccine, that had voted for Biden, And that believes in this transgender movement, the Project 2030 movement, and there's nothing wrong with digital currency and FedNow tracking, tracing, and controlling your dollar.
00:13:24.000So this is why I said the first problem with Wall Street is that spiritual problem of Wall Street.
00:13:30.000It's very spiritual, like how this whole thing is rigged against us.
00:13:34.000It has Lucifer hands and fingerprints all over it.
00:13:38.000So what I have invented is basically we're going to help clients scan through all these companies that believe in this one world government.
00:13:46.000They literally have raised their hands, most of them, by their acts and what they stand for.
00:13:52.000Number two, we're going to get you a reasonable rate of return using these companies that are filtered, that are values-based.
00:13:58.000And number three, we're going to keep everything in America.
00:14:13.000Number four, we just want to keep everything in America using American-only companies so that when you call, you're not speaking to Habibi from another island saying that his name is Peter and you actually understand him because he speaks proper English.
00:14:38.000A lot of the manufacturing for products and a lot of people are now taking their investments overseas.
00:14:43.000And it's a problem because what does that mean for our country long term?
00:14:48.000We're reducing ourselves as a global world superpower.
00:14:52.000And now we're seeing countries like China and Russia and even Iran.
00:14:58.000Form partnerships with each other, and that's not going to be good for the United States, especially when it comes to not just people's individual wealth, but also the wealth and health of our nation, our global standing.
00:15:11.000And we don't want to be in a position where we're dependent on others, right?
00:15:15.000We want to always have the upper hand and I can't help but think of America First and President Trump and his America First policies and how he really made this a key focal point of his economic policy.
00:15:30.000Encouraging people, companies, giving incentives to companies and Americans to invest here in America.
00:15:36.000Put America first as opposed to putting themselves and our country at risk by investing overseas with our adversaries.
00:15:47.000And I do want to mention the fifth element, why it's so important about the America First retirement planning process on why I basically created a solution because there is a need, is number five, you really have to have a fiduciary.
00:16:02.000A fiduciary means that we have to basically be on the same side of the table as you.
00:16:06.000We got to do what's right for you at all costs.
00:16:09.000And not everybody's a fiduciary in the financial advisor wealth management world, but there are woke fiduciaries.
00:16:17.000There are fiduciaries that don't believe in what you believe in.
00:16:20.000You know how many clients call me and say, hey, my advisor laughed at me because I bought some precious metals.
00:16:25.000He laughed at me because I told him that the election was rigged.
00:16:28.000He laughed at me because I told him that I don't want the vaccine.
00:16:31.000He laughed at me that my faith is in the blood of Jesus Christ.
00:16:57.000Well, don't you want to avoid, even if that is true, which I don't believe that to be true at all, don't you want to have an investment manager, especially if you are a public figure or you are a politician, right, and your information is public in that sense, don't you want to avoid the embarrassment by knowing that Your wealth manager isn't going to invest in things unless they're in alignment with your values.
00:17:19.000And so you see these members of Congress that will say things like, oh, I'm against vaccine mandates and I'm against big pharma, but then they're invested in Moderna and Pfizer and it's just really interesting, right?
00:17:29.000Or they say that they're pro-peace and anti-war and they're investing in companies like BlackRock and Boeing and Lockheed Martin.
00:17:44.000How easy it is for people to make excuses.
00:17:47.000But hey, if you actually were to take the effort and make the initiative to seek out a financial advisor or financial planner that shared your values, maybe we wouldn't need these excuses anymore.
00:17:58.000People could just be honest and put their money where their mouth is.
00:18:03.000But unfortunately, you see too many people trying to make money and they prioritize their money over their values.
00:18:09.000And so they're A lot of people in our society will still invest in these companies even if they themselves, like you said, are complaining about big pharma and politicians being in bed with these companies that,
00:18:26.000you know, they say, wow, these companies have so much wealth.
00:18:28.000Well, They can only accumulate that wealth if you invest into these companies or you yourself are purchasing their products.
00:18:36.000You're absolutely right in that so many people complain, but you don't really have the right to complain if you're not putting your money where your mouth is.
00:18:44.000It's convenient for people to go down the street and buy coffee from the woke coffee shop or to go online and buy clothing or buy supplies online from a large manufacturer or a large site like Amazon.
00:19:17.000And people do need to keep that in mind.
00:19:19.000If you want to see change in the world and you want to...
00:19:24.000If you want to see this parallel economy, right?
00:19:27.000Because as you said, there's now a woke economy and there's an America First economy.
00:19:33.000You're trying to provide a service in this parallel economy.
00:19:37.000And a lot of people are doing this now, right?
00:19:40.000Whether they're starting companies that are more faith-based or focused on people's political affiliation, because there really is, in this age of cancel culture, a thirst for...
00:19:52.000Reliable service and products in this parallel economy.
00:19:56.000And I believe that's what you provide in a parallel economy for people that are seeking out a reliable, faith-based, conservative, America-first-minded investment wealth management company.
00:20:08.000So, most of our clients, or most of clients that call in, they want to protect their principal from a crashing dollar, from a failing stock market, from bank bail-ins, from a lot of noise distractions, and their first go-to is to buy precious metals.
00:20:22.000Well, unfortunately, precious metals is good, but unfortunately, it's the dealers that are actually fear-mongering you into buying it.
00:20:33.000We specialize with principal protection products where we can guarantee your funds, not through the bank, not from FDIC conglomerate that's woken to the FedNow digital dollar program.
00:20:45.000We want to work with America First companies That gives you guarantees on your principal and you can't find that in the banking industry.
00:20:53.000You need a fiduciary like what we've done.
00:20:55.000We formulated and invented a whole process to protect your money from failing stock markets, to give you insurance on your money from financial resets and crashing dollars.
00:21:06.000And so we've been very successful with that.
00:21:10.000And we've been doing this for, geez, I've been doing this for close to 20 years.
00:21:13.000But this particular process is no longer protecting your money from a failing stock market.
00:22:13.000Yeah, well, we're living in a new time period now.
00:22:15.000We're living in the age of the new world order and social credit scores, FedNow, and it can absolutely happen if you're not protecting yourself and you're not working with a financial planner or wealth manager who has your best interests in mind and is preparing you for these types of attacks,
00:22:33.000not just on your personal well-being, but also your personal wealth and your long-term wealth.
00:22:43.000So I'm excited to help your listeners out.
