Steve Cortes, founder of the League of American Workers, had this exchange regarding the state of American cities with host Leyla Gulen on the Greatness Conversation Podcast:
I’m not an incredibly global traveler, but I’ve been around the world enough to know. American cities, which used to be, in my view, the marvels for the world, are not any longer. In fact, in many ways, they are in a lot worse shape than foreign cities as far as danger and cleanliness. American cities have become places that are largely inhospitable to our own citizens. If I were to put something tangible on what I mean by greatness, I would say that we need to make our cities great again—they need to be gleaming, safe, aspirational places.
Cortes appeared on The Greatness Conversation Podcast to discuss the need for renewed national greatness, focusing on strong leadership and systemic reforms in areas such as border control, energy policies, urban decline, and concerns about a potential Kamala Harris presidency.
In addition to being an American Greatness contributor, Cortes is a political advisor and commentator who served as a former spokesman and Senior Advisor for Strategy for the 2016 and 2020 Trump campaigns. He previously traded global currencies and interest rates for 25 years for large international hedge funds. He has been an on-air broadcaster for CNBC, Fox News, and CNN. Cortes founded LAW in 2022 to conduct research and develops proposals on public policies impacting American workers and the economy. He also is an American Greatness polling contributor.

At Last, a Company With Integrity in the Gold IRA Industry
For several years, I’ve been vetting out precious metals companies in search of the best. I believe in gold and silver but it’s hard to find integrity in the Gold IRA industry. The vast majority operate with shady tactics and gigantic spreads that take advantage of Americans who simply want to protect their life’s savings.
I’ve found a handful that I like and I’ve worked with some of them. By no means would I “unrecommend” them because, again, I vetted them out and found them to be above the fold. Unfortunately, it isn’t hard to be better than the rest when the rest are so darn awful.
After years of searching, I finally found a company that truly operates with integrity. Augusta Precious Metals has three important attributes that set them far above the competition:
- Non-Commissioned Sales Team: I cannot stress how important and unique this is. With just about every other company in the Gold IRA industry, the sales teams make commission from every account they open. This means they steer their clients toward the gold and silver products with the highest commission. With Augusta Precious Metals, the team is solely focused on putting the best gold and silver for their clients into their IRA. They get paid to serve the best interests of the Gold IRA client, NOT their own commission pay.
- Incredibly Low Fees: Most Americans would be shocked if they knew the spread other Gold IRA companies charge. Augusta charges just 5% versus up to 45% elsewhere.
- No Pressure, No Gimmicks: There’s an understanding among most in the Gold IRA industry that fear and pressure is the way to go. Augusta Precious Metals takes a sober approach when working with clients because they hold integrity in the highest possible regard. This is why they don’t offer gimmicks like “free” or “bonus” silver. It’s also why they do not apply pressure tactics to get quick sales. Their educational and transparent approach to doing business is exceedingly rare in the Gold IRA industry.
