stuart: steve cortez?> i wouldn't now and the reason is, shah mentioned the dividend, tobacco stocks if you look at them tend to trade like treasury bonds, very similar. rates going up dramatically, a good thing since the president-elect won. i think if it's going to continue, stocks like tobacco are going to have a hard time. stuart: it's the only stocky wouldn't buy on moral ground. that's all it is. i'm sure you're very surprised that stuart varney expresses a moral opinion. >> not surprised at all. stuart: you should be. [laughter] i want to thank everybody for a great show so far. 15 minutes into the trading session. thank you very much. liz, shah, steve, a great opening to our program this morning. check that big board. we're almost up 100 points. you're looking at a trump rally, 22 days after the election. let's move on to tennessee. oh, huge wildfires burning for the third straight day. we're told that 14 fires have burned nearly 15,000 acres in one particular county. 14,000 people have been evacua

stuart: steve cortez you were a part of the team. ng, you have to wait for the individual tax cut. how does it sit with you? >> steve moore is a good friend of mine, a great economic advisor to president trump, i hope. i want to give nuance. we don't have to wait long, why? because we control both houses of congress. i agree that we probably get the most immediate bang for the buck from cutting corporate taxes, i don't want your viewers to worry, oh, no, are we back to cronyism, take care of the big shot and not the other people. we have control of both houses of congress, in terms of sequence maybe the trump administration chooses to cut business rates and then individuals, worry not. >> and a lot of people voted for donald trump because they want a tax break for individuals and get the economy going, must not forget that. mary jo white implemented the financial regulations and she's stepping down from her post when president obama leaves office in january. e-mack, investors, i guess, investors will be-- >> well, she has a long and s

steve cortez, republican strategist. steve, let me ask you more on romney. kellyanne conway makes it clear that she is making attacks for those who don't want him. mike huckabee, the former governor of arkansas. what is it that really bugs people about romney? >> chris, i'll tell you, those of us who are in politics, no matter where you fall in partisan terms, we love palace intrigue, don't we? it's fascinating. i would say regarding palaces, the european royal families intermarried a heck of a lot. i'm not sure it was about love, it was often for political convenience. that might be part of what's going on here with this dance for mitt romney. but i will tell you and i will echo to some extent what kellyanne conway said. when i look at my social media world and i talk to people, there is almost a visceral revolt against romney among trump supporters. i will say personally he made my life difficult who came on air to promote the candidacy of donald trump, he was a thorn this our side. i would say to the comrades in our movement, trust in our guy, donald trum

. >> steve cortez -- let me just put my cards on the table. i thought what the cast had to do was fine with me. i thought they did it very professionally and respectfully. it was about diversity, respecting all americans. the booing was low brow. they were dumping on a fellow member of the audience. it wasn't a phillies or eagles kba game. i'm with the cast 100%. how do you split it? >> i don't know that we can excuse the cast either. i think you're exactly right. 99% of americans could never afford to be there in the first place. both audience and cast live in a cultural bubble of new york city and talked to the vice president by a country they don't understand frankly very well and n't understand the economic angst that exists out there. >> they are working their butt off to make that cast. >> it doesn't mean they are not in a cultural bubble of new york ci city. i think it is important. >> no. >> and whether you're in an bubble or elite or not, if you hold the -- imagine going to church on sunday and having the preacher or priest call you o

steve cortez, former member of tr trump's hispanic advisory council. lanhee chen used to serve as public policy director for mitt romney. political analyst david gergen who has been an advisor to four presidents and political commentator angela rye, used to be the executive director of the congressional black caucus. awesome to have you on. steve cortez, pam will l.ela br it up, the list of pros and cons for senator sessions as a.g., especially with the allegations of racism from decades ago. how would you defend him? >> i defend him thusly. if the best they can do is come up with something from 30 years ago, i think it shows this man has an incredible record of public service, attorney general, state of alabama, u.s. attorney and two decade long senator. number one, he denied them and i believe him, i take him at his word, he's shown himself to be a man of honor. secondly -- and this is important -- he didn't lose a full senate vote. he lost in committee. his nomination was killed there. two republicans crossed over and voted with the democrats, one o

i'm talking to steve cortez and christine jean-pierre, form aer adviser of president obama. me start with steve because i like trouble. what did you like of that make-nice meeting today? >> we have bruising campaigns and this was maybe the most bruising of my life time but when the campaign is over, it time to come together because the presidency is bigger than either of them. as important they are, they're not as important of the office or not as important of america. i was proud of both of them. they said ince bled disparaging things. we don't need to relitigate the election is make -- >> can we just get rid of that word relitigate. when you call a guy an illegal immigrant when you're president of the united states, you say the person you're running against ought to be in jail, you can't just say that was campaign b.s. >> i told you before i this i the brute so -- >> and he let the issue stay up pretty late before he put it to bed, didn't he? >> longer than i think he should have but he came to the right spot. >> the trouble with being nice today and i'm all for it, i belie

steve cortez, a member of trump's national hispanic advisory council.is dennard, cnn political commenter and trump supporter and amman ismael who wrote an article for slate called "i'm muslim, i'm afraid and i can't afford to show it." but angela, was that young woman making you emotional? >> yes. i grew up in a house with an activist, brook i was privileged to grow in seattle where there was a jesse jackson rainbow coalition. one of my mothers is a former college administrator, one of her colleagues was a native american man who i got to learn firsthand from what it meant to be a part of a country that took so much from you. and to hear this woman talk about borders that we've established that didn't used to exist is heart wrenching. i think about the man who drove me home election night and talked about being a muslim american in this country and saying to me -- i was sobbing in the car as the results came in. >> why? >> because i was shocked and so disappointed. it wasn't even about hillary, it was about -- it wasn't about partisanship. all the rheto

steve cortez thank you. appreciate it gentleman. thank you.ig story of the night is, gi director comey's decision not to pursue charges against hingts in e-mail scandal. donald trump just moments ago in michigan, addressed his decision -- >> hillary clinton is the most corrupt person ever to seek the office of the presidency of the united states. the investigations into her crimes will go on for a long, long time. the rank in file special agent as the fbi won't let her get away with her terrible crimes including the deletion of 33,000 e-mails after receiving a congressional. they forget about all of this. right now she's being protected by a rigged system to totally rigged system. i've been saying it for a long time. you can't review 650,000 new e-mails in eight days you can't do it folks. hillary clinton is guilty. she knows it. the fbi know it is. the people know it. and now it's up to themen american people to deliver justice at the ballot box on november 8th. >> and vice presidential nominee governor mike pence earlier today also addressin

market watcher and trump guy steve cortez is with us. now, tax cuts.re they the first priority of president-elect trump? because that's what investors want, i think. tax cuts first and foremost? >> you know, i sure hope so. i'm not on the transition team, i hope one, two and three. the protests that you showed, one reason, it's not an economic issue, it's a societal one. one of the reasons we don't have society is because we don't have economic growth. it's not just about paying your bills, it's happier and cohesive nature. stuart: it's the glue society and a together society. >> amen. how do we get there? >> hold on a second. it's tax reform and tax cuts, but i've got to move to this. the leaders of both canada and mexico are signaling that they are open to renegotiating nafta. i would have thought that would help the markets, too, wouldn't it? >> right. i think it's one of the reasons you see energy stocks have soared the last couple of days, why? because we're going to build that keystone pipeline from canada and we're going to have a better more se

i want to bring in steve cortez. ith the trump team, a trump advisor and i think you're now separated from the trump team if i'm not mistaken, but, steve, this is the trump growth rally, isn't it? >> it sure is, stuart. i couldn't agree more with what mike murphy was saying. trump will be a president for all americans, including those who didn't vote for him. in silicon valley he didn't get much support outside of peter thiel. it's wonderful that peter thiel is not your cookie cutter american, he's an openly gay man and he supported trump. has had a goal, and reaching out to fellow venture people in silicon valley. i think we're going to surprise them and a lot of our critics because we're going to deliver the growth that this country so badly needs. stuart: that's what the rally on the stock market is all about and the rally on the dollar, it's all about the future prospects for growth in the trump administration. and you can just say that and leave it at that, can't you? >> amen, i think you can. i would point out t

along with steve cortez. you are very close to the trump team. believe everyone is elated about this. certainly it has defied the naysayers. we had defied expectations. we had defied conventional wisdom. and now

along with steve cortez. you are very close to the trump team. after believe everyone is elated about this. certainly it has defied the naysayers. we had defied expectations. we had defied conventional wisdom. and now he has as president elect because it was widely assumed on wall street that if he did somehow pull up this upset. that they would go into a catechism. they all had new all-time highs. i am putting my partisan hat aside. is the fact that small caps are leading the rally. with the s&p 500. just today. they blew that away last week and why because they have america first. not just in terms of policy but also in terms of investing. they tend to be much more domestic. there heading there. and voting into america first. it will start to outpace the consumer staple. from 21 percent. and now they are up 21 percent. it's obvious that people are moving out of this area where they were camping out. on their pouring money into areas that they think it's can work out. you look at the policies that trump is talking about. i had been talking to fr

joining me now, steve cortez, he served on the trump advisory council.work in chicago. i want to start with why in the world can your mayor actually say that the priority for him is protecting illegal immigrants irrespective of criminal background rather than protect can the people of chicago, 77 of whom have -- 700 of whom were shot dead this year. >> i'm glad you asked that question. i couldn't be more ashamed of my mayor. we live in a city that's called chi-raq. the west side of the city is practically a war zone. what is our mayor focused on? he's focused sphonl making outland i shall statements. i even hate the term spank wary. sanctuary for whom? he lives under taxpayer funded 24-hours protection. you know who has to deal with the on the ground re-at of dangerous criminals, you know who deals with that. people with names like cortez and romero, cops on the beat. that's who has top deal with it on the ground. not maybe emanuel. i call out his hip truth city, and i implore him. show some decency, sir. our city is aflame yet you are dancing for -- >>

ryan williams ansteve cortez are we me. steve, you're shaking your head.you about this war on romney. you've got certainly kellyanne has made it clear, she's getting a lot of attacks, no one seems to want him. you're hearing from that newt gingrich and huckabee, and former governor of arkansas, mike huckabee, what is this that really bugs people about romney? >> well, with you know, chris, i'll tell you this. those of us that are into politics, though matter where you fall in partisan terms, we love palace intrigue, don't we? it's fascinating, and i would say, you know, regarding palaces, the european royal families intermarried a heck of a lot. i'm not sure it was all about love. it was often for political convenience. that might be what's going on here as part of this dance with mitt romney. i will tell you and echo to some extent what kellyanne conway said. when i look at my social media world and when i talk to people, there is almost a visceral revolt against mitt romney, among trump supporters. and i will say, personally, he made my life difficult, a

joining me to talk about this is steve cortez, a member of donald trump's national hispanic advisory t. steve, priebus is defending trump's picks, but so far his picks and those under consideration seem to lack diversity. how does that square with mr. trump saying he's going to be president for all and does he not care about diversity in his cabinet? >> this is important to me as a latino and prominent latino supporter of his on the airwa airwaves. i'm confident by the time his cabinet is don't and major picks outside the cabinet are finished we'll see a diverse group of people. i'm not part of transition, but i can tell you this from the campaign, we have a very diverse campaign and i suspect his administration, i expect that his administration is going to look very much like america, in terms of diversity. >> but, steve, how can you say that? even his insiders, those around him, those directly involved, don't seem that diverse? >> well, i mean, i guess i would hope myself if i would say i'm not in his inner circle, but one example of his diversity. what donald trump -- i believe he'

let's bring in steve cortez, republican strategist and former member of trump's hispanic advisory council. good to see you. thank you for joining me. wasn't to g i want to get your take on this recount effort. is it a legitimate move here? >> no, i don't think it is at all. this is a complete distraction, the election clearly was already decided. i think this is -- it is football season now. this is like a toddler trying to throw a hail mary pass in an nfl game. this is simply not going to work. i think the fact that the clinton campaign joined the effort is evidence of the hypocrisy from their side. she assailed my candidate, then candidate, now president elect during the campaign when she said that the fact he wouldn't prepromise to accept results was, quote, a direct threat to our democracy. now, i think that was an exaggeration at the time. but i think she should heed her own words now and be a good loser and go away regarding recounts. we have a lot of work in this country to grow again. >> do you think if donald trump were in the position hillary clinton were in, would he be doing t

mike pence -- steve cortez, you may be an outsider.ike pence is not an outsider. >> is he an outsider now. he's a governor coming from the midwest. >> he was in washington for 16 years. >> who joined up with -- look -- >> nafta, iraq, everything that you say is corrupt by the washington elite, all i want to say is you guys fixed the lasso about this big so it just lands around hillary clinton and if you're honest about what the fixed corrupt washington elite is, it's got a huge amount of republicans, including your running mate. >> i will agree that a lot of republicans will fall into -- >> which is why the election -- >> it's not so up republicans against democrats. we are going to reclaim our government and reignite our economy. >> thanks for coming. >> thanks for having me. >> he's still on the train. >>> bruce springsteen playing in philadelphia. let's take a listen. ♪ we have one last chance to make it real ♪ ♪ trading these wings on some wings ♪ ♪ climbing back, heaven's waiting down on the tracks ♪ ♪ ooh, come take my hand right

joining us is steve cortez and a member of the hispanic counsel and in san diego, ruben navarrette andk sanctuary cities should still defy federal law. >> good to be with you again. here is what i think about sanctuary city because there is no place for an illegal to go to be safe from being apprehended by a federal law enforcement officer. just like you can't avoid the irs. and they will find you. including a fraud by liberals on the left to make them feel more powerful as if they call the shots about what goes on in washington. it is simply not true. >> would you push back and -- and i'll let you do it, steve. ruben is right, if they catch an illegal they could deport him but why shouldn't the state and local police stations turn over an illegal they catch to i.c.e.? >> right, and for the most part, local police do the policing at the street level and in sanctuary cities, they are not allowed and prohibited from informing federal authorities when someone they've arrested, even someone dangerous is here illegally. and i think this is the height of lewan assy and my -- lunacy and my ma

steve cortez is a member of trump's national hispanic council. head of trump's national hispanic advisory council. first, congratulations. >> it was certain he a big victory for our campaign but more importantly a very big victory for the american people and specifically for the american worker who i think felt like they'd been forgotten and they're forgotten no more. >> be honest here, did you guys see a victory like this? >> no, i'll be perfectly honest. i thought we would win, bub i thought it would be a lot closer than it was. i think that speaks to what i just mentioned, the disenleashenment out there. this is a wonderful economy if you have already made it. the rest of us haven't done so well. this is really -- it's been a muddle-through economy of slow growth, of obamacare insurance costs exploding and people are stressed and they are looking for answers. so i think donald trump, what he did, president-elect trump, first time i've said that on air, what he did, number one, he spoke to their anxiety. he also offered a solution and here's th

with me now, steve cortez, served on trump's hispanic advisory council on the trump campaign, karen tumulty is back with us, and cnn political commentator angela rye, a former executive director of the congressional black caucus. welcome to all of you. karen, let me begin with you, let's start with tom price as a pick for hhs secretary. there's been criticism on republicans, they want to repeal, repeal and replace obama but there's been a lack of specifics on how and what to replace it with. tom price is the guy who has an alternative, correct? >> that's right and you know it would certainly be a big disruption for the current system. but he is someone -- he's also a physician, someone who's given a lot of thought to this issue so it's certainly not what i think a lot of supporters of the affordable care act would like to see. this is going to be somebody who is actually going to dig in and try to do this. >> let's talk a bit, steve, just as a trump supporter, karen is right, he's an m.d., an orthopedic surgeon, he knows where the money comes from because he's the chair of the house budget

i'm joined by steve cortez, a trump supporter, and corrine jean pierre, a former adviser to presidentobama. let me start with steve, because i like trouble. steve, what did you make of that make-nice thing today by both sides? >> you know, listen, here's what i made of it. i mean this, not as a partisan, but as an american. we have bruising campaigns. and this was maybe the most bruising of my lifetime. but when the campaign is over, it's time to come together, because the office of the presidency and america itself is bigger than either of these individuals, even though they're the president and the president-elect. as important as they are, they're not as important as the office. they're not as important as america. and i was really proud of both of them. they said incredibly disparage g ing things, as you played for us, about each other over the years. and yet they put that aside. the election's been decided, we don't need to relitigate the election. what we need to do now is make sure we can succeed going forward -- >> can we just get rid of that word, "relitigate." when you call

steve cortez is with us, a trump goo i -- guy and also a money guy.et's forget about trump affecting the market. i am told, market watchers say no matter who wins the market goes down. what say you? >> one quick trump point. if i would buy a stock that's rallying, djt, donned j trump. stuart: that was an easy one. >> we were down eight days ago and now up one point. take off the partisan hat. back to markets, unfortunately, even if trump wins, which i very much hopes happen has an american and partisan. even if that happens stocks are in trouble the year end the reason i hate to say it is the fed. i think that the federal reserve is in play. once we have the election, i think they raise rates and sadly, the economy is so feeble, one of the reasons that trump wins, it can handle a point increase. if we have rough go of it in the fourth quarter, i think that's incredible buying opportunity for political and economic reasons, because i think the growth that will be unleashed from a trump revolution from tax cuts, regulatory reform, smarter trade deals sh

steve cortez, gop strategist. steve, what do you think of that?and where it ends but i don't think it ends with donald trump. that much i'm pretty sure. what do you think? >> no, neil, i think you're definitely on to something. when we look at the entire western world we largely see the same problems, slow growth, giant government, cultural relativism, besets america and europe. thankfully america is not nearly as bad as europe. i've always said, i think this was part of the donald trump campaign, we don't want to become europe. we see where cultural relativism gotten them in terms of demographically in economic growth and we don't want there. thankfully on november 8th, we pulled back from the precipice. we'll be leadership to show them how similarly to pull back, how to achieve growth and security again. i want us to reject the values of davos crowd. i want us to embrace the values of dayton, ohio. neil: there you go. that is not too bad. one of the things i see the protests that have been going on, i think they're as much orchestrated as planne
