Oh, we're here with Steve from Edmond, Oklahoma, just a couple hours north of here. Steve, President Trump, look, this is a heavily red state, maybe the most red state in the country. Why is the president coming here to Oklahoma today? Why is he needed here? - Well, he needs here to just help all the Republican candidates that are running for state office and Senate. And we just want to make sure it stays red. - gubernatorial candidate Mike Mazze running and he's a help to, Trump is a help to Mazze, you say. - Absolutely. - Steve, thank you very much. President guys will be in Texas just north of Dallas before he makes his way to Oklahoma tonight. And we actually, with a gentleman here, Tony, you work at that truck manufacturing plant where the president's going to be this afternoon. Why are you here in Oklahoma when you should be down in Texas? - Well, I retired six months ago, eight months ago now, so. - Is Trump a help to folks like Ken Paxton in Texas? It was leaked audio that came out yesterday from the New York Times saying, Ken Paxton isn't sure that the numbers after that midterm convention helped him and maybe hurt him. Are they still on board? Republicans at large on board with President Trump and his political influence. - Yes, sir, 100%. - What do you say to those Republicans who have any doubt about Trump's influence? - Get on the Trump train. We're going to the front. The only way Trump can lose is if he gets cheated. That's my opinion. - All right, and then when you look towards November, still confident that the president's going to be able to maintain his majorities in the House and the Senate. - Taking it all. We're taking it all. - What gives you that confidence? - Just what he's been doing overseas as of late. - You're happy with how things are going in Iran. - I'm happy. I'm happy with that. I'm happy the way things are going in the country right now with him. - All right. - I just wish he could get a third turn.

A two-page U.S. Department of Justice letter stacked vertically (screenshot/scan), dated October 16, 2026, from the Acting Deputy Attorney General to an Assistant County Counsel at the Los Angeles County Counsel's Office. It responds to the county's October 15 letter. It asserts that the county's registrar must not count ballots from more than 20,000 people the DOJ says are likely noncitizens, that doing so risks aiding and abetting a federal crime under 18 U.S.C. § 611 and § 2, and that the NVRA 90-day quiet period doesn't apply. It urges the county and California Secretary of State to reconsider. It has the DOJ seal at top left, a handwritten signature at the bottom, and a slightly garbled spot where "NVRA's" appears as "NV 's" on page two.

Text in image: U.S. Department of Justice 950 Pennsylvania Ave, NW Washington, DC 20530 (202) 514-2000 October 16, 2026 Peter M. Bollinger Assistant County Counsel Los Angeles County Counsel's Office Re: Response to October 15, 2026 Letter Mr. Bollinger: The Department of Justice has reviewed your October 15 letter responding to the federal investigative materials provided to the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk ("County ROV"). I write to address several legally untenable assertions and to make unmistakably clear the legal implications for violating 18 U.S.C. § 611. Your letter asserts that the County ROV is "legally prohibited" from taking even minimal steps—such as temporarily segregating ballots—after receiving credible federal evidence identifying tens of thousands of individuals suspected to be noncitizens. That position is incorrect as a matter of federal law and places officials in both the California Secretary of State ("SOS") and County ROV offices at risk of knowingly facilitating violations of federal criminal statutes. On October 13, the Department hand delivered a password-protected dataset identifying more than 20,000 individuals who federal agencies reasonably believe are likely noncitizens registered to vote in California. This list was developed through a multilayered, multiagency investigative methodology that relied upon internal immigration records, data matching, supervisory verification procedures, and more. The legal consequences for either facilitating or ignoring a federal crime are significant. Noncitizen voting in a federal election is a federal crime—and knowingly facilitating such conduct is equally unlawful. Under 18 U.S.C. § 611(a), noncitizens are prohibited from voting in any election involving federal offices. Under 18 U.S.C. § 2, anyone who aids, abets, counsels, induces, or procures the commission of a federal offense is equally liable. If persons knowingly tabulate ballots cast by individuals identified by federal agencies as noncitizens, they risk becoming aiders and abettors to a federal crime. Your assertion that ballots must be counted simply because California's registration system relies on self-attestation does not relieve election officials of their obligations under federal law when they are on actual notice of noncitizen voting. Nor can state procedures supersede federal criminal statutes. Your argument that the County is "not authorized" to pause or segregate ballots because California relies on attestation-based registration is immaterial. Section 611 does not excuse unlawful voting simply because a State employs a permissive registration method. The Department has not asked the County to adjudicate immigration status; it has asked the County to temporarily set aside ballots from individuals whose eligibility is credibly in question—a standard election-administration practice implemented nationwide. Likewise, your reliance on the National Voter Registration Act's ("NVRA's") "quiet period" is misplaced. The NV 's 90-day limitation applies only to systematic list-maintenance programs—not to targeted, individualized evidence of unlawful voting identified by federal law enforcement. The Department has not requested a purge, cancellation of registrations, or any programmatic action. We requested only temporary ballot segregation pending citizenship verification. Invoking the NVRA to justify counting ballots unlawfully cast is both legally incorrect and operationally irresponsible. Additionally, the administrative burdens, timing constraints, or the fact that the investigative list includes individuals residing outside Los Angeles County do not permit the County to knowingly tabulate ballots that federal law prohibits. Once the United States provides credible evidence that certain ballots may be unlawful to count, election officials may not disregard that information because it is inconvenient to process. Administrative difficulty is not a defense to violating federal law or aiding or abetting a federal offense. The Department strongly urges the County and the SOS to reconsider their positions before taking actions that risk significant federal scrutiny and legal exposure. Sincerely, /s/ Trent McCotter Acting Deputy Attorney General United States Department of Justice

Glad to be here today to support the best president we've ever had very well said what what would be your message to President Donald Trump? keep praying every day because God's with you to give the strength you need every hour and The wisdom to lead this country back to its greatness with Christian values and families That need to have support of for right principles right education that's about our country and get us back on the right path and expose the radical Muslims and Socialists, they're trying to take this over underground very well said you had that all in the chamber And I was very well said they came out. They should have you up. There's one of the speedest speakers today I went to the 16 convention and in Ohio was the finest run Event I've ever been to in my life And I'm so glad that he was elected then and I've seen what he's done. He keeps his promises He doesn't make false promises and he will not quit until he's accomplished his goal with God's help Very well said now you're from Montana half, Texas half here Well, what would you say are some of the issues that are on top of mind for people here during the midterms? well, of course, they want they want the economy to become where they can afford everything but when we're trying to keep Missiles and things that that we know have been paid for by the previous administration in Iran It's important that we stop that ability so that we are safe And then when we're safe, we can all go back to work and and and benefit from some of these Advances that Trump's going to show you pretty soon. We're going to be very surprised when he keeps his promises People will then be glad they voted for him But it takes time to turn things around when billions were given to Iran by the previous Administration to build those bombs underground, so I'm very proud of him doing what he knows he needs to do to protect us Very well said and President Trump had to know the cost that it would be to do what he's doing right now So, you know, he did it with with our best intentions in mind Yes, he can afford to live any way he wanted to and he chose this was his goal was to protect America and use his expertise and money and Influence to make this nation great again And if you want to read about the story that's really the foundation read about Trump's Bible the story where it came from Europe and how the Trump's Bible got on under his hand when he first ran that tells you God's plan for his life And what he's here for it's much more than what people know Very very well said and also to it's it's amazing that his his effort his enthusiasm is stamina to continue to do this He's like on it. It's almost as if he's campaigning for president, but he's doing it to help all these other candidates And he's today he's in Arizona right before he comes here and he's just like a workhorse just like a machine More than a workhorse more like a robot that never gets tired I can't imagine keeping doing what he does just two days in a row Four hours sleep and he's always has to be responsible for remembering to everybody's names Who's what they're doing what he's been his agenda is for that day and to not get upset when things don't go his way But patiently pursue one step at a time because he believes in what he's doing is best for our country and all of our citizens I vote for him. I'll vote for him three times in a row because his his whole agenda is to make America Great again, and we'll hold him to it, and I don't think God is gonna disappoint us

the violence is gripping the streets of France at some of the largest riots that France has ever seen continues to grow by day to the painter joining us now with the very latest on the unrest morning Chan Lee. >> Hey good morning guys so at least 1200 people were arrested across the country yesterday in what the French government has described as an escalation in violence. More than 550,000 people taking to the streets Saturday to protest education standards and rising cost of living riot police clashing with demonstrators amid widespread looting vandalism and arson police resorting to tear gas and water cannons as protesters became more violent around 150 officers were injured during the clashes and a 140 plus year-old town hall that survived both world wars was also set ablaze. French president Emmanuel Macron posting that there is quote no room for violence in our republic those who have broken attacked the prefectures and as well as businesses looted even our town halls will be prosecuted and punished protests across the country have been ongoing for nearly 5 weeks across schools and universities, the French prime minister pointing to quote the ultra left groups and delinquents as escalating the chaos guys. >> All right channel later. Thank you very much you guys it's just heartbreaking to see that that building that gorgeous town hall. A 145 almost 150 years old. >> So I'm to war wars. And then these people burned to the ground. >> Well, and you know it has nothing to do with a lack of school books or shortage of teachers remember why this all started that was the claim. Yeah, and look at what it's spread into this and it's not just in one town or one area, it's not just in Paris. It was in Limoges that we were watching the town hall being burned down and some spread to other parts of Europe and Italy as well and you know vice president J D Vance had a tweet overnight that that really puts in perspective exactly what we're witnessing right now he writes on X this Western liberals imported the 3rd world into France and other countries in the name of diversity and compassion. They ignored fundamental questions of assimilation and compatibility they were told it would lead to this and they didn't listen. I pray that France, a beautiful country of amazing people will stop this madness before more of its landmarks burn and I hope Americans are paying attention. This is the future congressional Democrats seek for your country. >> Of course, he is absolutely right. He's absolutely right about it. And the reason that he's vice president the reason Donald Trump is president is because they are the first people president Trump is the first person to step forward on the global stage and identify this problem and do something about it. And I think it's really interesting if you read the this quote unquote mainstream press about their coverage of this they talk about the school funding they talk about poor people not getting services they talk about they say nothing they had not that you read the BBC you read the New York Times you read the Wall Street. They say nothing about the fact that many of these protesters are immigrants from other countries that were hauled into the country never assimilated they say nothing about the fact that we're looking at a French flag right there. But if in a lot of the shots you don't see French flags you see Palestinian flags and I don't know if the reporters doing these stories are just too old or they're afraid to get down there and do something about the actual coverage where you actually talk to people but they don't tell that part of the story and it takes the vice president United States of America to actually identify the real what is going on here and if and France may not like people like JD Vance or Donald Trump, but there we go with the Palestinians like they're going to wind up with a Marine Le Pen as because of no one else because she's one of the few people in that country was actually willing to identify the problem and talk about it. And there was an organized effort to move those people over to your politicians by politicians and by billionaires like like for the billionaires like exactly like open society George Soros Foundation and other foundations who these NGOs want to destabilize Europe, they hate Europe. They hate the idea of of nationalism and and and that's the same thing that that that happened here of course the other thing I want to bring up is that I is what something that JD Vance talked about which is a simulation, you know there's a lot of consternation on the left, we're fighting ice. We got to stop all these deportations the reason we have to deport people is because they came here with a legal process that would assimilate them into our country, our customs are more our history our culture and that's the kind of thing my mother did she decided she wanted to become an American citizen after she married an American G I and she said I'm going to learn English and then I'm going to go take a course and learn the history of America and then I'm going to pass a test about civics and history in America and through that process she became proud to be an American the people you're seeing here have no love for that country for France, they don't love France, they don't care about its people and all the shop owners right now who are in living in fear, they wish they had a Donald Trump there they only wish there was somebody brave enough to withstand the insults and the and the and the and the insults about being a xenophobe or racist. They wish they had someone that strong but unfortunately they don't they have a crime. >> It's fascinating to when you watch a lot of these violent riots, they're not even protests at this point you do see the Palestinian flag and you under so what does that look like along there. I do want to touch though because Charlie you got me thinking you're talking about the media coverage did you see several people on social media were flagging a CBS report yesterday that said scuffles had broken out in parts of France does that look like a scuffle would you describe that as a scuffle it's hardly a scuffle but listen to I think there's a bunch of Palestinians in France right now doing this. No this is all astroturf remember we had the LM as well. Here these are anti West forces these are anti West NGOs who are we're pushing this up just like BLM their Marxist. We had as a no money she talks about this green red alliance these the the Muslim socialist Marxist alliance. These are people that they're essentially anarchists.
