(Jul. 27, 2025) — In an interview with radio host and public speaker Steve Cortes, who was formerly a member of Trump’s Hispanic Advisory Council, “War Room” host and former Trump senior adviser Steven K. Bannon asked Cortes about a film he recently released titled, “You Don’t Know Barack: Exposing Obama.”
Cortes was born in Chicago in 1972 and has a financial, business and political background. In late 2021, he was terminated by Newsmax from his position as cohost of “Cortes and Pellegrino” for opposing mandatory COVID-19 vaccination or weekly testing.
During the 2024 Republican presidential primary, Cortes supported Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis but reversed course after voters overwhelmingly selected Trump as their standard-bearer.
After playing a preview of the film in which several black Americans were critical of the results of Obama’s “hope and change” pledge, Bannon remarked, “You don’t see a lot of people saying, ‘Oh, gosh; I wish we had Obama back’; you never hear that anymore. Steve, now, more than ever, this seditious conspiracy, treasonous conspiracy, is now becoming a thing. More than ever, people are going to be focused on Obama. President Trump is saying it’s Obama coup…”
Bannon was referring to revelations released by Director of National Intelligence (DNI) Tulsi Gabbard beginning on July 18 alleging Obama led a conspiracy against then-President-Elect Trump by requesting that the intelligence community create a narrative in which Russia, in “collusion” with the 2016 Trump campaign, interfered in the 2016 election.
The conversation turned to the façade of Obama’s presidential library, which is still under construction in Chicago and has been the subject of a $40 million lawsuit.
“Do they have any windows in this thing?” Bannon asked, to which Cortes, a Chicago native, replied, “It doesn’t look like it…You can barely see them if there are, and I was pretty dang close; I was as close as you can being at a construction site…It is a Soviet-esque concrete blob that is so out-of-scale it’s almost hard to describe.”
“In an era of transparency, who didn’t read the room? What are they hiding?” Bannon asked. “Why would you build it with no windows? What are you hiding?”
“Well, given recent revelations, he’s hiding quite a lot, right?” Cortes replied.
“Quite a lot; maybe even a birth certificate,” Bannon responded. “Hello, I went there!” he said, laughing.
Cortes provided his social-media information, and the interview concluded.
“By the way, you think Trump’s not going to go there?” Bannon asked his audience. “Wait for it. He’s fired up now. They guy’s got a conspiracy against him,” he said, then segued to an advertisement.
According to former Obama eligibility litigant CDR Charles F. Kerchner, Jr. (Ret), either Bannon or his moderators would not allow any discussion of questions surrounding Obama’s constitutional eligibility, including the “long-form” birth certificate image released by the White House on April 27, 2011.
A 5+-year investigation by the Maricopa County, AZ “Cold Case Posse” authorized by then-Sheriff Joseph Arpaio determined the image to be a “computer-generated forgery” along with Obama’s purported Selective Service registration form, which lead investigator Mike Zullo said was created via a “hard-copy” forgery.
For approximately four years (2009-2013) and at his own expense, Kerchner ran full-page advertorials at The Washington Times focusing on the unresolved issues surrounding Obama’s eligibility or lack thereof. Significantly, on January 6 Kerchner published a book containing the advertorials and, even more important, his motivation for launching his quest, now 18 years old, to uncover Obama’s past and whether he qualifies as a “natural born Citizen,” required by Article II of the Constitution solely for the president and commander-in-chief.
For this article, Kerchner commented:
Steve Bannon knows. He chose to ignore Obama’s ID “problems” way back when and as far as I know he still chooses to ignore the stolen and forged ID docs of Obama to this day. Let’s see him openly discuss it and state that action should have been taken to expose the traitor Obama and his forged and stolen early life ID docs back in the 2008 election cycle, at that early time when Obama could have been stopped if people like Steve were not afraid of the “racist” and “birther” ridicule charges that were immediately thrown about by Obama and the Dems enablers of him, and took Obama on directly on his grifting and fraudulent life and fake docs.
I tweeted this below just now using X and other social media venues. Readers of this should do likewise. There is more than one way to investigate Obama crimes and indict, try, convict, and jail Obama as he continues to commit crimes each and every year violating federal documents and identity laws, which resets the Statue of Limitations for those federal crimes. They could not get Al Capone on murder but got him on income tax evasion charges. If they can’t get Obama on the Russia Hoax crimes, then get him on his fraudulent use of stolen and forged identity documents, which he continues to use every year to his criminal benefit.
” @realDonaldTrump @PamBondi @FBIDirectorKash @dbongino @Bannons_WarRoom @SteveBannon Obama is still using SSN stolen from dead person in CT since 1980’s. He also continues to use forged identity birth docs he released in Jun 2007 and Apr 2011. Each year he uses them resets “Statue of Limitations”. DOJ should use that vector to investigate, arrest, and put Obama on trial for identity fraud. #SteveBannon #DonaldTrump #DOJ #KashPatel #DanBongino #PamBondi #DonaldTrump “

I believe Trump will revisit the fake birth certificate after the mid-terms when larger GOP majorities in both the House and Senate will allow for an investigation and an eventual nullification of his pResidency.
The 2026 midterms will be the second most important election cycle in modern American history.

The Hillary Clinton Campaign and its Democratic Party operatives in the media and in Congress started the “Birther” movement.
They began questioning Obama’s birth place in late 2007 based on even earlier statements made by Obama himself saying he was foreign born, after Barack Hussein Obama II began activities indicating he was going to run for President and in doing that he would of course be challenging the “anointed one” in the Democratic Party for the office of President at that time, i.e., Hillary Clinton. See:: https://www.scribd.com/document/93986071/Obama-s-Bio-in-1991-Literary-Agent-Promo-Booklet-States-Obama-Born-in-Kenya-Raised-in-Indonesia-Reported-at-Breitbart-17May2012
Here is an example from Matthew’s Dec 18th 2007 Hard Ball show in which the early “Birther” disciple and Hillary operative, Chris Matthews, on his Hard Ball Show, states and spreads the questions from two other early “Birthers” Bob Kerry and Hillary Clinton who were making comments and statements, and planting their questions squarely into the election cycle public square discussions, about Barack Obama being born in Indonesia and having Islamic roots: https://www.kerchner.com/videos/Early-Birther-Chris-Matthews-2007-Dec-18-Harball-Show-Reports-Obama-Born-In-Indonesia-and-Has-Islamic-Background.mp4
The activities in sowing and spreading questions in the media and elsewhere about Obama’s birthplace and loyalty to the USA continued in the spring of 2008 until the secret meeting in June 2008 when Obama and mega-donors met with Obama and Clinton and threatened/forced/bribed her, as many said back then, to pull out of the race and support Obama in return for them paying off all her substantial campaign debts and Obama promising her the Secretary of State position.
Hillary and the Dems started the “Birther” movement and then after Obama became the Democratic Party “anointed one”, they wanted all the questions about Obama’s birth place to go away and blamed it on the Patriots and Constitutionalists who continued to ask questions about Obama’s ever changing early life narrative.
Hillary then called for “party unity” after she dropped out and urged her supporters not to continue opposing Obama. But a group of die-hard Democratic Party Hillary supporters would not let the questions die and started the “Party Unity My Ass” (PUMA) group to oppose Obama as a foreign-born, un-American, radical Islamist, and not constitutionally eligible to be President and Commander in Chief of our military.
Here is another report that shows that the Hillary Clinton Campaign started the “Birther” movement and the die-hard Hillary supporters, and also staunch patriots who considered Obama to be a totally anti-American and dangerous fraud, started the PUMA group, and actively continued it after Hillary dropped out of the race in June 2008, the same month that Obama then releases his forged “short-form” Certification of Live Birth digital image. See: https://www.politico.com/story/2011/04/birtherism-where-it-all-began-053563 … and … https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=05hORpFr2xE
And then later in June with the release of that forged digital image BC document, the identity question issues regarding Obama spread more and more in the summer of 2008. And then in Aug 2008 Attorney Philip Berg, a Democrat and a member of the PUMA group, filed his lawsuit against Obama prior to the DNC Convention: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama_presidential_eligibility_litigation
And then another event even more compounded the questions about Obama’s true ID occurred when a FOIA request from a retired ICE agent revealed in Oct 2008 that Obama’s Selective Service Draft Registration Card was also a back dated forgery: https://www.scribd.com/user/52640192/protectourliberty/lists
Things then really heated up regarding the questions as to who this grifter and fraud Obama really was. And Oct 2008 is also when the major censorship of all the questions about Obama’s identity issued started with Google and other major IT companies. It became very obvious at that point that the fix was totally in for various reasons in both major political parties and their allies in the media and government institutions. Read this as to why: https://cdrkerchner.wordpress.com/2024/01/26/blast-from-the-past-14-years-ago-i-believe-the-fix-was-in-for-the-2008-election-and-the-cover-up-is-still-going-strong-the-perfect-storm-for-a-constitutional-crisis/
Over the last 17+ years, I have been a witness to all this and also an active early participant in battling to expose the fraud and grifter and anti-American Obama since the summer of 2008. Donald Trump dropped the issue (wrongly imo) and focused on and tackled other issues facing the country. But Obama did not drop his seditious conspiracy and subversion against the country and against Trump personally. So now, in his second term, will Donald Trump “go there” and seek the truth and justice, and direct all the various controlling legal authorities to investigate Obama’s forged key identity documents, as well as unsealing a lot of other hidden records?
Was Steve Bannon signalling something is coming soon regarding investigating Obama’s birth certificate records when he briefly mentioned Obama’s “hiding a lot” with his birth certificate on his show during his Steve Cortes interview (at time stamp 51:48-52:10 minutes in on GTTR: https://gettr.com/post/p3nn68nbdc0), or is he just signaling that he is switching sides politically and he will no longer be a ridiculer and critic of the “Birther” Movement, and is signalling that he is now becoming a “Johnny Come Lately” participant in the Patriot and Constitutionalist Movement who have been battling against the identity fraud, anti-American Obama since the early summer of 2008?
We hope and pray that Donald Trump will take the necessary steps to expose the anti-American fraud and seditious, treasonous conspirator, Barack Hussein Obama II, and to take him to task and justice for the damage that Obama did to our nation and constitutional republic
Only time will tell.

Every day after July 20, 2025, the DCeitful Deep State just gets deeper and deeper in nation-wide treason-guilt in their complicit cover-up co-criminal hood with “treason ringleader”, FRAUD presIDent narrative-Obama, et al.
Why?
>Because no one is above the law enforcement. – JD Mooers
>President Nixon was removed from office for covering-up the Watergate break-in which merely roughed-up some file cabinets!
>It is bad to secretly commit a treason; it is worse to cover-up that publicly exposed treason.
Excellent article Sharon Rondeau. I just posted links to your article at FreeRepublic and elsewhere: https://freerepublic.com/focus/f-chat/4331131/posts
And I also posted this comment:
Steve Bannon has known all along about the fraud and grifter Obama’s concocted and ever changing early life narrative and forged key identity documents. But for whatever reason he like many other leading talking heads would not talk about it or even allow callers into their shows to talk about it.
Other key talking heads like Glenn Beck and Mark Levin would shout you off the air and hang up on your if you were even able to get by their call screeners to try and discuss Obama’s ID document fraud issues. They all knew. Full page advertorial in the Washington Times National Weekly edition read by over 100,000 subscribers told the world about the danger of Obama. Many of the talking heads wrote articles in that national newspaper. But instead the key talking heads hid talking about these key fraudulent life narrative issues and forged documents re Obama.
Were they afraid of the “racism” and “birther” Saul Alinksy style ridicule and name-calling by the far-left? Or were there other reasons to cover-up the issues surrounding who Obama really was? Folks like Steve Bannon should have spoken out more strongly about Obama’s murky and ever changing early life narrative identity during the 2008 election cycle and prior to Obama being sworn-in in Jan 2009. Their silence and their silencing others are in large part responsible for the terrible traumas our constitutional republic has been put through the last 17+ years.
Now Bannon and others are maybe gaining courage to maybe speak out. We’ll have to wait how strongly they do so and see how deep into the fraud and anti-American coup-creator that Obama is that Steve Bannon and others are willing to publicly speak about what they know, and knew back then but were afraid to speak about then. And will they ever admit they were wrong in letting the Saul Alinksy “ridicule tactics” campaign silence them back in the 2008 and 2012 election cycles. Steve Bannon and everyone in DC and the USA knew and were silent. They were told repeatedly but chose to ignore the warnings in 2008 and via these full-page advertorials from 2009-2013.
See the dozens of advertorials, many run directly opposite the national paper’s weekly editorial page so they could not be missed, at: https://www.kerchner.com/protectourliberty/archives.htm

There is no stopping the avalanche of truth. Many thanks for all The Post Email has been doing!
Loggia: You say “there is no stopping the avalanche of truth.” Really? Respectfully, when exactly do you think that “no stopping the avalanche of truth” is going to start happening? When Obama goes to jail? That won’t happen. When Hillary Clinton turns over a new leaf and admits her transgressions? That won’t happen. WHEN THE CIA COMES CLEAN AND CONFESSES THAT THEY HANDPICKED COMMUNIST-MENTORED OBAMA, GROOMED HIM TO BE A MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE AND LEADER OF THE NEW WORLD ORDER (A NAZIFIED OBJECTIVE), AND ARRANGED HIS UNCONSTITUTIONAL ELECTION TO THE PRESIDENCY (TWICE)? That won’t happen. When our Government admits that it (with others primarily including the CIA) played an active role in the JFK ASSASSINATION? That won’t happen? Loggia, I agree that The Post & Email and Sharon Rondeau have made, and are continuing to make, an UNSELFISH and honest contribution to journalism and our once great republic and democracy, but there are many more that need to join in the so-called “avalanche of truth,” for example, 435 U.S. Representatives, 100 U.S. Senators, 9 Supreme Court Justices, hundreds of District Court, State, and County judges, thousands employed in our country’s 17 (or is it 18?) Intelligence and Law Enforcement Agencies, the National News Media, 50 State Governors, and TOO-MANY-TO-COUNT others. As one of the mottos of the CIA reads “And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free.” Where the CIA is concerned (which is practically everywhere!), that won’t happen. Sorry for my pessimism, but I wasn’t just born with it and just didn’t make it up out of thin air if you know what I mean. May God Bless America and favor the TRUTH in all things. Amen.
