One day that had 5,000 Haitian migrants underneath the bridge,

all it takes is like one photo like that being released by Fox News for America to start being like, wait, is this actually a problem? But for the most part, they know exactly what to do to just keep it looking civil. And then they just don't have to answer to it. They don't have to go. Well, they'll fluff all the numbers to make them look good, right? They just got exposed for the crime. Yes.

That was crazy. That should be a crime okay guys here with liz willis thanks for coming on thanks for having me yeah we're at the heritage foundation it's been a fun event it's been fun so far and i get to meet people like you yeah i'll say that a director of uh the ice was i'll never forget that talk yeah that was that was deep but he's a great man i've heard him speak at a few rallies before and then online as well but yeah yeah because people don't actually like some people i mean we're on media and stuff but some people don't know what's actually going on at the border no and i can't imagine having to live through what

he's done for the past 30 years i mean he talks about actually having to go and get like actual mental health as a grown man. You know, you don't hear that often, but to think of the heinous, horrendous things he's witnessed, it kind of, it paints a picture of the truth about what's going on there and how much the Biden administration has really been hiding from us.

Right, yeah, he's on the front lines and he's saying the Biden administration is fully aware of it. That's the scary part to me because there were like rumors of that. But when you hear that from someone that's actually there, that's pretty eye opening. Yeah, it's disturbing. Super disturbing. I mean, he said under Trump, the border was the tightest it's ever been, right?

The tightest it's ever been. And then he was saying, you know, and you get statistics, you get numbers, they go back and forth. They're saying, oh, it's lower now. Well, it's lower right now, because they are trying to process them and release them as fast as possible, because you think about what you actually see in the news. And that's exactly what the current admin is trying to avoid, which is that one day that had 5,000 Haitian migrants underneath the bridge. All it takes is like one photo like that being released by Fox News for America to start being like, wait, is this actually a problem? But for the most part, they know exactly what to do to just keep it looking civil. Yeah.

And then they just don't have to answer to it. They don't have to go. Kamala's visited what maybe once to the southern border as the border star. So, you know, fail. Well, they'll fluff all the numbers to make them look good, right? They just got exposed for the crime numbers. Yes. That was crazy.

That should be a crime. That should be more. Every news should be covering that. Somebody should be arrested. And it is just so under the radar. I mean, they're like, oh, crime's not so bad. And our economy is not so bad. All these things, it's not so bad.

Well, not if you're lying about the data. If I didn't have X, I wouldn't have seen it. No, 100%. No, same. I saw it on X. Yeah, which is crazy. If Elon didn't buy X, think about how many things we wouldn't know. I could talk about that all day.

I am Elon's number one fan. Yeah, he honestly saved social media, in my opinion. He saved social media. He saved America. I think if we win this election and not to discredit anyone else that's worked hard in the campaign that's worked hard, but by we, I mean the Trump campaign,

a lot of thanks goes to Elon Musk and what he's doing. Shout out to Elon. And he's speaking in Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania. I saw earlier today, he said he's scheduled for like six speeches, but he plans on doing 12. I love that. That's just him.

That man, like he gets up, he goes to work every day. He's a billionaire. He doesn't have to do that. But he's out there trying to save the country. That's just him caring because I can't remember any elections where non like political people were out there doing speeches like this. No. Billionaires like him.

Yeah. Billionaires. Dark MAGA, baby. And you see even all these liberal podcasts starting to have Trump on and like people changing their opinions in real time, like the All In podcast. We're getting, I think, Joe Rogan soon too. Rogan, I heard.

And not that he's a liberal, but, you know, he wasn't originally going to have him on. He had a very hard stance against him years ago. But I think the tide is changing. I think the truth is coming out. I agree. And I think we've also just seen the worst, you know, as far as America goes. I know other countries have it a lot worse, but it's woke people up to what some of these liberal policies will actually do to you and your family, your safety, security, your pocketbook.

Have you always been conservative? Yeah, I've always been conservative i grew up liberal that's why i asked a lot of people spicy well here's the thing a lot of people that grew up liberal are now are now turning there's a whole walk away movement i remember like learning about that in 2020 i definitely questioned my politics um around 2020 and i was working in politics too so but i remember I remember, I mean, I was like really young reading about George Bush for fun. So I had a problem then. Sounds fun.

I know, I know. But yeah, there's a lot of people turning, a lot of people that kind of woke up, especially with Biden, like watching him literally decay on stage at the presidential debate. I shouldn't be laughing. I got text messages from my most liberal friends and they were like, I think I'm voting for Trump. Yeah. I like screenshot it. I'm like, I never thought I would see this day. So pretty crazy, right?

People in L.A., people in like liberal cities are saying that. Yeah. Kick off an exciting football season with BetMGM, an official sportsbook partner of the National Football League.

It's nuts. And the Kalshi odds, it's almost 60-40 right now. Kalshi odds, those are crazy. I was talking about it on another podcast. I think it's almost 60 40 right now call she odds those are crazy i was talking about on another podcast i think it's super exciting that we actually even have a betting online betting platform like call she what they're doing is pretty unique for anyone that doesn't know but you can actually bet like online with your own money legally in the united states on what you predict the outcome of the election to be and it was like they just really started their election market like maybe two weeks ago something like that give or take and it was tied like it was like they just really started their election market like maybe two weeks ago something like that give or take and it was tied like it was pretty 50 50 for the most part and within the past few days they've gotten massive amounts of money i think i've seen like a hundred thousand two

hundred fifty thousand dollars and these are like singular bets that people are placing and and there's quite a it i saw it 62 today i think it's back down to 60 right now but every interview she goes on it's getting worse that makes sense it's back down to 60 right now. But every interview she goes on, it's getting worse. That makes sense. It's crazy. I just don't want people to get too comfortable, you know, when they see odds like that. But I think, I hope, I don't want to be naive. I hope that, you know, that is the reality of this election.

And it's going to be interesting to see, is an online prediction market, you know, as safe as watching like a traditional poll right is how how are those going to differ yeah i wonder how to be more accurate i wonder how it'll differ because i don't trust most polls i'd say i don't either i mean you saw like the past few elections hillary clinton was predicted to win by a lot and then biden was predicted to win by 17 trump had like no shot in 2016 yeah boom so that's that's your traditional polls but now we've got this and people are able And then Biden was predicted to win by 17. Trump had like no shot in 2016. Yeah. Boom. So that's your traditional polls. But now we've got this and people are able to put their own money into this. And I'm excited for it.

I am. I'm excited to see the outcome. Are you worried about election integrity? I am. I do have some concerns about election integrity. And I know it's gone back and forth between, you know, since the 2020 election. I went to a lot of the hearings, even out in Arizona. They had a lot of them. But I'm from Atlanta, Georgia. So Fulton County had its own mess of problems.

We had boxes that were just unaccounted for that ballots that were pushed under tables. We had a water main break at the Fulton County, which is the largest center for voting in Atlanta, Georgia. So for me to say there were no issues at all, I think that's crap. I think there are a lot of issues. I know personally people that have stories. And then when I tried to vote in the midterms, actually, my ballot got rejected three times. What? Yeah. And they were like, I don't know what's wrong. And then finally, they're just like, all right, it's good. You're good. I'm like, I don't feel like that was good. That is so weird. I mean, first of all, I don't know what's wrong. And then finally they were just like, all right, it's good. You're good. I'm like, I don't feel like that was good. That is so weird. I mean, first of all, I can't believe they're doing mail-ins again.

You could easily rig those. Second of all, did you see the guy that went on PBD's podcast with the voting machine? No. Is this recent? Is it two years? Yeah, like a month ago. He went on with a voting machine that you go and vote on, and he easily just changed the answers. I mean, I believe that.

Yeah, I went to Michaelael dell cyber symposium and we there were actually two of them and he brought in experts from all around the world and they were able to hack and prove that it actually these systems can connect to wi-fi that you can access them you know without having to physically connect to them and that those should not that should be that should not happen and that's not supposed to. And they were just able to sign in and do what they wanted. If you think that China or Russia, whatever, even whoever, if we can do it, like just random tech people in the U.S. and you think other countries aren't trying to get into that,

then I think you're the conspiracy theorist. Yeah, that worries me because with these swing states, like your state and my state, Nevada, you only need 10, 20, 30,000 votes. You're Nevada. Yeah. That's so interesting. Yeah, we only need 10, 20, 30,000 votes. You're Nevada. Yeah. That's so interesting. Yeah, we got a swing state. We voted Biden last election.

I know. And I was out there campaigning really hard. And I saw, well, I worked for a news network. And so we covered all of the rallies and we would go. And I remember specifically Nevada, because there would be 20,000 people waiting in 100 degree heat just to go inside and see Trump. And they called it a purple state, but it didn't look purple to me. I mean, the massive amounts of Trump supporters out there.

And then the elections came in and I was like. I'll say this about Nevada being there for four years. I've never met a Biden supporter or Kamala supporter, and I've met thousands of people there. Same. I just don't get it. So maybe they're like on the outskirts. I don't know.

But the people I deal with out there, no support for them. I hear you. I don't get it so yeah maybe they're like on the outskirts i don't know but the people i deal with out there no support for them i hear you i don't get it that's why i still question 2020 yeah i mean we should be i mean there's a lot of compelling evidence on it yeah like there's documentaries about it and people no legal action was taken so you agree do you think that yeah i mean this might go on youtube so i gotta be careful with what i say but oh yeah for youtube all you have to do is uh like fact check me and be like are you sure about that because so are you sure about that um see we're good now you you followed the terms and conditions nice but two years ago you couldn't even say it at all and the v word i was gonna say that too yeah i got a strike for that i almost got my whole youtube deleted i

actually did get oh wow an entire channel a massive channel deleted damn just from the vword yeah i was talking to mike lindell whoa he mentioned it and then the whole channel got taken down and it was awful and everyone was like liz was trying to silence mike lindell i was like no i was trying to save our network because i know these commies are gonna take this video down and they did so crazy because you need three strikes on YouTube. So they just gave you all three at once. Yeah, I think so. I do know.

I remember the three strike policy. I think we had like maybe there were music violations or something or maybe they just said this was a COVID thing. You need it down. But I mean, eventually what we waited like two weeks, you know. The crazy part is they're still doing it. So I saw James O'Keefe tweet this yesterday that if you talk negatively on kamala on instagram or facebook it's automatically shadow banned i hate that isn't that crazy i feel like meta is doing a little better

and i mean i've seen zuckerberg come out and like talk a little bit more free speech a little bit more pro-conservative and i feel like i thought meta was kind of moving in that direction allowing conservatives i know i have some friends there that actually have helped conservative creators like get their accounts back up when they're like taken down so i think there's individuals there that mean well like unicorns yeah but the people at the top are still let's be honest i got work to do yeah the government has infiltrated a lot of these platforms that's why x is amazing yeah because you won't get shadowban there. You can tweet whatever you want. I mean, knock on wood.

Yeah, knock on wood. But so far, so good. I actually got to meet a bunch of people from X. First time ever, because two years ago, pre-Elon, they would have never come to anything. But X was at the RNC. Oh, wow. They had representatives at the RNC in the creator suite.

I think they sponsored it for a day, actually, for the conservative content creators. And the team was amazing. They were so nice. They're like, if you need anything, let us know like Well done Elon turning that San Francisco based company into yeah in the bat Speaking of X you posted on access. This was hilarious My city is full of low-t men. I stand by that. Yeah, where are you at? Atlanta, Georgia really so actually yeah i won't

even get into the details of it but it's very concerning like the actual rate of amount of straight men in atlanta and you just you really don't know my friends and i play this game it's called gay or straight and it's that common out there it's pretty bad i didn't know that it's pretty bad yeah holy crap atlanta i thought that was full of like successful dudes i did too and i like i'm shocked because i it's something that they've been telling me just really over the past few months i used to not go out much my friends are trying to get me to go out and i'm like oh he's hot they're like you know he's gay right i'm like you gotta develop that gaydar i'm trying damn so yeah i need some more testosterone in atlanta well there's one in how many kids are gay now, like something crazy.

It's got to be in the water. Yeah, yeah, in public school. And it's like, wow, when our parents were in school, it was like no one was gay. It's an interesting statistic, something that's probably going to be studied but definitely needs to. Oh, it will be studied. Is it because people are just more comfortable being gay because it's more socially acceptable? Yeah. Or is there something that's like causing this?

I would say both. I think people are more open to talk about whatever these days. But at the same time, it's too much. It's like autism, like 1 in 30. Yeah. Everyone's autistic. Yeah. There's like TikTok and it's like autism reveal cakes.

Have you seen that? No, I haven't. And if it's like a rainbow, it's like you have autism. And if it's nothing, then you have like you're just normal or with ADHD. Really? Yeah. So everyone's just getting diagnosed with autism. And they're like, that's my problem.

I'm autistic. I'm like, yeah, you're just weird. I mean, I have it. My dad had it. But it's like when I was in school, no one else had it. But now one in 30 people have it. Everyone has it. Yeah.

Like when I went to a big ass school, like 3,000 kids. I think that they're just making it like a wider and wider net for people. So anyone's a little i guess is it neurodivergent they just they're like oh you're autistic you'll be fine which is crazy i mean maha right make america healthy again yeah hopefully that can help is it maha or maha maha i don't know but some people say it's from getting all those v words when you're when you're born because you get them like so many you get like 30 or something before the age of one so that's another thing i get to worry about now i'm like if i have kids do i i'm not with my kids no maybe a few but not a hundred it's a hundred now okay 106 yeah and uh there's heavy metals in all of them so when they do studies on them individually

they're fine but they're putting eight in one and you're getting all of that in once i'm a lot more reluctant now that i was like in high school i'm not even gonna do a hospital oh you know i we gotta maybe the baby mama like we gotta talk to her yeah oh yeah i've had this conversation okay i'm not just forcing her as long as long as she agrees but you know i have heard this thing and i think it was alex clark she had some people on a panel one time at turning point and it was medical doctors some chiropractors and i don't remember uh like a like a doula like a birth nanny and they were talking and they were like the united states is the worst when it comes to like maternal like births and how we take care of that it's like i guess the one position that they put

us in like on our back with our legs up is like the most painful and the worst thing to do and so what you really should do is like be kind of like on your knees like more of like a fetal position um and they say in a lot of other countries like people actually don't go to the hospital and they sure as hell don't put them on their back like that and so it's just kind of and then you know the epidural is a whole nother yeah a whole nother thing but natural births water births like staying at home and then having like a nurse somebody on standbys i'm not against i'm not totally opposed but i think yeah we're not doing home either because our home is you're supposed to be within five minutes of hospital yeah so

we're not so we're doing like a natural center that's two minutes from a hospital i could do that yeah so in case something goes wrong we got the hospital i agree with that so i'm just doing that plus it's super expensive to have a baby are you expecting are you just no we're getting married next year but we're planning all this now because of raising a kid is scary right now like you know what i mean like everything is scary it's gotten to the point where it's like should i even have kids in this in this climate we talked about that today and i think about it all the time too but i think we just can't be scared to do something that is gonna be maybe the greatest joy that we'll ever have right yeah having kids is massive i hope so i will not send them to public school i I went to public school. I came out okay. But that was different.

It was back in the day. Teachers were not pushing things on us. And it was, do you remember back when like we, we wouldn't know what our teachers were politically? I never knew. I never knew. I always wanted to know. I never even asked.

But yeah, no, you didn't ask. You didn't know. They didn't push it on you. That's how, that's how it should be. Yeah. So they're telling kids now what they are? I think so. Or they just wear rainbows.

I've seen that. And you figure it out. I've seen that. Wow. If you could, elections in two weeks, if you could tell Trump anything, what would you say to him? I tell him I've supported him since day one. But really, I don't have much to say. What I do want to know is more on aliens,

like the ones in the space, not illegal aliens. And like, why doesn't anyone talk about that? Like, what can you tell us about like Area 51? You know. Hopefully he releases those. I want him to. I thought he was going to on his last day in office. I really thought.

That would have been savage. I thought he was going to, but there's got to be something they're not telling us, right? Oh, yeah. He's got to know something. Like not telling us, right? Oh, yeah. He's got to know something. Like the Bob Lazar, Joe Rogan podcast talking about reactors and stuff. Yeah. Lease those files, Trump, please.

So, Trump, if I had a moment with you, just tell me about the aliens. Love it. Thanks for coming on. Yeah, thanks for having me. Awesome.
