00:01:01by more than
00:01:11and in all ways, in the history of
00:01:37midterm elections will be where the
00:02:42it's the 250th anniversary of
00:04:05about that, common sense more than
00:04:13degree of grand cross from
00:05:01strong that complexity that it now
00:05:05has regionally, is a strength, is a
00:05:08fortress.
00:05:21We are CNN, the world leader in news.
00:05:49night, today we follow the
00:05:53visit of Marco Rubio, the Secretary of State of the United States, as we
00:05:56started yesterday in Colombia, his visit in
00:05:59Colombia, of course today in Ecuador with President
00:06:02Daniel Oboa, tomorrow in Peru
00:06:06with Keiko Fujimori, but there is a
00:06:09peculiarity today, we are going to be talking eh precisely about this.
00:06:14the Secretary of State of the United States there in Ecuador
00:06:17and at the same time we are waiting for
00:06:21this event in Dallas of President
00:06:23Donald Trump heading to the midterm elections
00:06:26that they have called the
00:06:30Trumpalisa Trumpalusa they say there in Dallas, of course
00:06:33we will be live with the message from President Donald Trump
00:06:37to see what he has to say, obviously it is an event that is
00:06:40trying to straighten a little the. course if possible,
00:06:44Trump as a factor precisely of that course of what the
00:06:49chamber will be renewed on November 3, the House of Representatives
00:06:53completely eh of course and 35
00:06:57seats in the Senate eh it is
00:07:00very very interesting in the area of the House of
00:07:03Representatives there is a lot of chance for the Democrats to take the
00:07:06majority, in the Senate it is not so,
00:07:10although we also have to see... eh district by
00:07:13district, eh, there are some this, for example, Texas
00:07:17and Iowa, which are normally Republican
00:07:21that now they have put them here they say tous up, no, which is
00:07:25practically a coin toss and it is, that is a very bad sign for the Republicans
00:07:28because it is supposed that they are bastions that they would not have trouble
00:07:31retaining, but already in the analysis
00:07:34there begins to be a trend in which it could turn around to one
00:07:38side or the other, there is no guarantee eh,
00:07:42also this is the reorganization not of
00:07:45the electoral maps in Texas and then in California
00:07:48looking to have eh more seats with this
00:07:52reorganization, etcetera, it is very very interesting, but well, all
00:07:56that is part of what will be the coverage on November 3 here
00:07:59on cnn in Spanish
00:08:02of eh the midterm elections and I repeat the entire House of
00:08:06Representatives and 45 eh
00:08:09pardon 35 Senate seats but today. today
00:08:12let's see what Trump has to say, what Trump has to say that can motivate that
00:08:16electorate to give support to the Republicans, it would completely change the
00:08:20history of Trump's government eh, if the Democrats keep the House of Representatives and the
00:08:23Senate, Trump's last two years will be very
00:08:27different, but anyway, let's start if you agree with what
00:08:31I already mentioned, the visit of Secretary of State Marcos Rubio
00:08:34to Ecuador, we start
00:08:36then.
00:09:15Mr. Secretary of State, on behalf of the Ecuadorian people from
00:09:19Quito from Quito after receiving the national
00:09:22order of merit in the
00:09:25the hands of the President of Ecuador Daniela, the Secretary of State of the United
00:09:29States Marcos Rubio offered 45 million additional
00:09:33dollars to reinforce security in Ecuador. After the
00:09:37meeting, Rubio said that Washington is working more and more with the Ecuadorian
00:09:40government in terms of fighting crime, drug trafficking, organized
00:09:44crime, as he did yesterday in Colombia, eh, Rubio
00:09:48highlighted the rapprochement in diplomatic relations and joint
00:09:56improved so much in recent years, but
00:09:58specifically in the last three or four years, the cooperation we have in
00:10:02terms of security and in terms of prosperity, because both issues are
00:10:06important, but the primary function of any government is
00:10:10the security of its people and when they see when there are threats against
00:10:14that security, they must
00:10:15face it.
00:10:19Well, as you already heard, security and as we already told you, security is a
00:10:22dominant issue of the tour of... the Secretary of State for Latin
00:10:26America, especially Colombia and Ecuador,
00:10:29no, in Peru yes, security is an issue, but there
00:10:33also China, China will be a very important
00:10:36issue, in addition to the resources eh that Rubio
00:10:40announced in Ecuador, the designation of the
00:10:43Tiguerones as a foreign terrorist organization was added, so
00:10:47they already designated the Tiguerones as a terrorist
00:10:49group, they join of course those that had already been
00:10:53assigned, the Choneros, the Lobos. and the Chone Killers, the
00:10:57other three Ecuadorian gangs that the United States already considers terrorist organizations, but
00:11:00for Rubio, these groups have capabilities similar to those of an
00:11:04army, this decision comes at a critical
00:11:07moment, critical for the country, Ecuador was considered one of the
00:11:10relatively safest countries in the
00:11:13region, but last year it registered
00:11:169,216 violent deaths with a homicide
00:11:19rate of 51 per 100,000
00:11:22inhabitants, which exceeds
00:11:26double, listen to what I am telling you, eh, by more than double to countries
00:11:30like Colombia or Mexico,
00:11:34imagine the level of violence, homicide
00:11:37rate of 51 per 100,000 inhabitants, let's see what
00:11:41President Daniel Noboa says, well he assures that his strategy is weakening
00:11:45the gangs, that's what Noboa says, according to
00:11:49official figures, homicides decreased 8%
00:11:52between January and July of this year. Obviously the
00:11:56comparison is against the period of 2025,
00:12:008%, if you think about it, it's very little for all the
00:12:03collaboration and
00:12:06this eh strategy that the president himself
00:12:09Daniel is using
00:12:12no eh beyond homicides, of course there is another silent
00:12:15crisis, no it doesn't mean that it is
00:12:19less harmful, no according to the high commissioner, this is where
00:12:22what I am telling you is reflected, the consequences of this violence. According to the
00:12:26UN High Commissioner for Refugees and the Ombudsman's
00:12:29Office, more than 300,000 people
00:12:33have been forced to leave their homes in the last 3 years.
00:12:36That is, it is an internal forced
00:12:39displacement, there are 3000 people who have had to leave, I don't know, for example from
00:12:43Guayaquil, to Quito, from Esmeraldas, that is, they
00:12:46have had to move from their cities to another place, for different
00:12:50reasons, we are not talking about homicides, but about
00:12:53threats, extortion. recruitment that also
00:12:57occurs, criminal recruitment, or the assassination
00:13:00of family members, 300,000 people forced to
00:13:04displace, and while violence spreads on land, the
00:13:07fight against drug trafficking continues, it continues, I tell you it continues
00:13:11because it has been a while since it started, it has moved to the Pacific,
00:13:14not with the boats, in less than two weeks the United States has
00:13:18reported the sinking of six Ecuadorian vessels in
00:13:22operations that supposedly target
00:13:25drug trafficking, the most recent case was a
00:13:28fishing boat, the fishing boat Don Rufo, the Southern
00:13:31Command said that the vessel was supposedly used as a refueling
00:13:35point for fuel for
00:13:39operations linked to the Choneros, the crew members were obviously
00:13:43arrested, but this has generated a lot of controversy, I'm going to explain
00:13:46why after the crew members and
00:13:49family members denied those links and
00:13:53some detainees were released by judicial decisions, not a few
00:13:56eh, I'm going to tell you that at least
00:13:5928 of the crew members who have been detained from these
00:14:03alleged drug boats 28, according to the decision of a judge, there
00:14:06were not enough elements to say that they were linked to
00:14:10drug trafficking, others were also released
00:14:14but eh yes with the caveat that they
00:14:18are eh what is it called on conditional
00:14:21release eh that makes a difference, but look, 28
00:14:25at least the judge says no, there are no elements here that prove that they may have a link with
00:14:28drug trafficking, despite this, Rubio
00:14:32defended the operations, he said that the objectives are decided
00:14:36case by case, it is
00:14:38a very complicated panorama, I a long time ago, I'm
00:14:41talking about 2022, I say a long time ago because I was living today,
00:14:45no, in 2022, I already spoke about
00:14:49this issue with the then Ecuadorian president Guillermo
00:14:52Lazo, I told him, I anticipated to... the future that Ecuador
00:14:55lives today, making a comparison with the experience that I as a Mexican have of my
00:14:59country and how far it could go, telling him if they were not able to fix it,
00:15:03if they needed help, I tell you something, at that
00:15:06moment President Guillermo Lazo was very
00:15:08transparent,
00:15:11eh, he was very clear, I don't know if many took his
00:15:14comment as innocent, but at least
00:15:18it landed in a reality that today
00:15:21is precisely materialized in the help of the United States in
00:15:25that moment Guillermo Lazo who was at the Summit of the Americas that was held in Los
00:15:28Angeles California, Guillermo Lazo already spoke of telling the then
00:15:32president who was Joe Biden to
00:15:35develop a plan developed. an Ecuador plan similar to Plan
00:15:39Colombia because I was saying to me, "March," he told me, "we can't
00:15:42do it alone," but well, here it is, that's how
00:15:45he told me, an Ecuador plan like the
00:15:49Colombia plan, you said it, you got ahead of me, because I will tell
00:15:52President Biden of the United States, "Look,
00:15:55just like with Colombia there's a Plan Colombia, we need a Plan Ecuador,
00:15:59because it's not possible for a small country to pay the bill
00:16:03alone, a country that tries to prevent its territory from being used for
00:16:07drug trafficking, because it's also protecting children and young people in
00:16:11the United States that we receive support, but it's not
00:16:14enough, we need more forceful
00:16:16support."
00:16:20He already said it, former president Guillermo Lazo already said it, it is a reality
00:16:24today, that call for help at that moment in the Biden administration, 4 years
00:16:28later, it is still valid, but it is already real,
00:16:31no, that is, the support it has today has no
00:16:35comparison, now... Ecuador, Ecuador cannot do it, no, but
00:16:39it also cannot be accompanied, neither, I mean because the
00:16:43figures are not as encouraging as one would expect with so much coordination
00:16:47and operation from the United States government with the government
00:17:29I asked, I think it makes a lot of sense, we
00:17:33already heard former president Lazo what he told me at the time, well,
00:17:37he was very transparent or very innocent but he accepted that we cannot
00:17:40do it alone,
00:17:42but listen, excuse me Don Luis, I'm being told that President
00:17:46Donald Trump is starting his speech in
00:17:48Dallas, yes, sorry, I have to interrupt this
00:17:52moment Don Luis, we'll coordinate later, let's hear what Donald
00:18:10the first for any political party, two months ago
00:18:14we came together to celebrate one of the most glorious days in history,
00:18:19the creation of
00:18:22independence,
00:18:27and in 1776 our founding
00:18:31patriots lit the flame of liberty in
00:18:35Philadelphia at a time that... that as
00:18:39now we gather in the great state of Texas
00:18:41and
00:18:49by the way I have to boast that it is a state that I won three
00:18:52times with an overwhelming majority,
00:18:56the largest number of
00:18:58votes,
00:19:01the largest number of votes in history, in Texas
00:19:04politics.
00:19:08and we all have that flame lit
00:19:12and we love the state, and we love our country, but
00:19:16what an honor to be here in Texas, what a wonderful place,
00:19:20what a place, I love it,
00:19:23with your support we will make our country strong, safer,
00:19:27freer and greater than it has ever
00:19:30been, that's what is happening, that's what is
00:19:34happening, I would like the news
00:20:07of people standing outside, if someone
00:20:10wants to give them their seats so they can come in, they are
00:20:14standing outside, some of them would like to
00:20:17volunteer to give them a chair, no, I didn't
00:20:20think so, we have an incredible response, they love our
00:20:24country, they love what we are doing, in 55 days Americans
00:20:27will go to the polls in one of the most important elections in the history of
00:20:31our country, your vote will decide if our country
00:20:34stumbles at the start. of the next
00:20:38250 years or rises
00:20:41to heights never reached and never looks
00:20:44back.
00:20:49We. we have the future in
00:20:53our hands, we just have to remove the radical Democrats, if
00:20:57they fall into their hands, the next decades our
00:21:00country will return to try to get back on its feet,
00:21:03it will be a tragedy and then we will leave
00:21:06the world in a
00:21:09terrible situation and that will last for many, many
00:21:13decades.
00:21:28The decision in this election is very simple, the options are
00:21:32simple, the Democrats ask you to vote for their leftist
00:21:35agenda that has never worked, that destroyed your finances
00:21:38and 4 years of
00:21:41disaster of death under the
00:21:44government of Joe Biden, the sleepy, sleepy
00:21:48Joe Biden and I'm going to. ask you to let me complete
00:21:51this work with these wonderful years, the presidency has never seen
00:21:55anything like it, these have been the two presidential years, financial level
00:22:01the
00:22:01presidency,
00:22:06and we are going to spend another two years and
00:22:09we will enter a leadership of 250
00:22:13years that has never had that possibility,
00:22:17in these two years we have more money that has been invested from outside,
00:22:20foreign countries and foreign companies,
00:22:24more than 2000
00:22:275 seven times more than any other country,
00:22:3120 billion dollars, more on
00:22:33top, remember that before he said
00:22:3719.2, but now it's more than
00:22:3920, in less than 2 years,
00:22:43very, less than 2 years, when the 2
00:22:46years come, maybe we will reach 25 billion in... invested
00:22:51here, it's a record, I want
00:22:53to tell you,
00:22:57think about that, more than 20 billion, the
00:23:00record is another foreign
00:23:03country that perhaps you know, the country I know, the
00:23:07head of that country will come to the White House in two weeks,
00:23:113 billion compared to 20 billion, but
00:23:15the 20 billion after 2 years will still be almost 23,
00:23:1824, 25, no one has ever seen anything like it
00:23:22and probably will never happen again,
00:23:26I want you to remember me in four or five years when this country
00:23:29remembers, he says I was the one who started it all,
00:23:32I was the one who started it all,
00:23:48yes, look who we have. here in the front row, look at those who
00:23:52are in the front row, wow, that's
00:23:56wonderful, we have the best women of
00:23:59North Carolina, they are here
00:24:01too,
00:24:04they have been to 217 rallies, they are
00:24:07beautiful, they have wonderful husbands, but you never see the
00:24:10husbands, I think you are driving
00:24:14your husbands crazy, they have supported
00:24:17me from the beginning, I think they like me.
00:24:591400 and that's why we have the best immigration figures, we
00:25:03stopped it cold, this was a disaster, it was destroying
00:25:07our country, we'll talk about that, when I ran the
00:25:10Republicans always do very well, we won the presidency three
00:25:13times,
00:25:23Now you've noticed that many people are on the other side, they are
00:25:26recognizing that too, but that's a very
00:25:29good way to do it, but we won big
00:25:33also we won everything, because what I was saying
00:25:36was on the ballot and everyone came and and
00:25:40it went very well with the senators and with the congressmen, but for some reason when a
00:25:43president wins, even if he is a very very good president, a
00:25:47wonderful president, there are not many of them, they do
00:25:51not win the midterm elections and no one
00:25:54knows why, two of
00:25:5625 campaigns, we will change that, there is no
00:26:00reason for that to happen, there is no reason. there is no
00:26:03reason, that is something very profound at a
00:26:07psychological level, that they have to explain to me somehow, I have asked people,
00:26:10why does that happen, if one has for example a president who is doing a very good
00:26:14job, I don't, I don't think anyone has had two years like me, everyone
00:26:17in the world is recognizing it, other countries are failing, failing
00:26:21and they are failed countries, but I don't know why what
00:26:25we are seeing, no president, neither Democrat nor
00:26:29Republican ever wins the midterm elections, we have...
00:27:23the fake news, the pundits, the left-wing communists say whatever
00:27:27to try to stop us, but in this lesson, all that
00:27:31matters. is that we are
00:27:34united, we are together and what we
00:27:37say matters, that's what matters
00:27:40most, and on November
00:27:443,
00:27:46the majority of Americans will stand up and continue
00:27:50to make America great again and we will make our voices
00:27:53heard perhaps as never
00:27:56before, that is the beautiful challenge that midterm
00:28:00elections do not have to be won by the president,
00:28:04but we are going to change that and we are going to make it more and more important, a more
00:28:07important moment for our country and for the presidency,
00:28:11this is something very special that we have to
00:28:13do,
00:28:17and we have a short period of time and we have 35
00:28:21contests, all of them count, we have
00:28:2435 that can be
00:28:28called swing states, as we had
00:28:31seven states that won all seven,
00:28:33right,
00:28:37now I say the following, not that
00:28:40I'm turning a blind eye to the
00:28:43work, I mean, I thought I had won, what do I have to do, I'm campaigning,
00:28:46but yes, I'm campaigning for it to be
00:28:50incredible, for it to be wonderful and for it to continue being
00:28:54wonderful, so I'm going to visit many
00:28:58of those wonderful senators and I tell those with whom I won,
00:29:01we have others. who are leading by
00:29:0430 points, no, no, they don't do that, don't come here, the ones
00:29:08we need are those who have heard that there are
00:29:11very close contests that are winning by a very
00:29:14little or losing by a very little and they are or they are
00:29:18tied, but I'm going to all those
00:29:22states to win
00:29:26seats in Congress and the Senate, we are going to have
00:29:30rallies.
00:29:44We're going to have rallies like this, we're going to have
00:29:48stadiums full of people, the senators are wonderful
00:29:51people, so many, such good people, their
00:29:54policies,
00:29:56are common sense, I hear that one of the most
00:30:00wonderful politicians. I see many of them and they talk about
00:30:04common sense and it's precisely
00:30:08anything else, they are not stupid policies that have
00:30:11led us, have led us to the pit, if we
00:30:15had not won the last election I'm not sure that our
00:30:18country would exist now, the path was
00:30:22very bad, so I'm going
00:30:25to each of those places, those
00:30:2835,
00:30:30a couple of times I'll go. for some cases
00:30:33and I'm also going to hold meetings
00:30:37and I'll come to Texas again, because we have to elect
00:30:40Ken Paxon, we have to elect him,
00:30:53and if I have to come back two or three times, I will
00:30:56do it.
