Another unlikely eggcorn suggested by a social forum. The first hit is a first person account of a first person account that outlines a perp’s justification. Otherwise, speaking valiums might suggest a need for sedatives.
I have a friend that says, “It spoke valiums.” The first time I thought I misheard her. The second time I knew she was a moron. I explained to her the word is “volumes”, like many books. She said it was “valiums” because drugs make people talk a lot. She said my way made more sense but she still says “valiums.” She’s a moron but she’s sweet.

Here are some variations. The first is a nonce, and probably intentional, but funny either way. The second is a blendicule of valiums and volumes that comes up quite commonly when values are in question.
So, do I really believe that Manning went to his cabinet (his “flockâ€â€”as in sheep) and told them that this woman with special powers told him to call the election? Well, I do! And that the others (Emily Dick-Forde was a given) went along with that speaks vacuums for the intelligence of the nation’s cabinet.

Optimus looked down at the shorter Autobot and nodded, warm blue optics glinting in kindness. “Everyone deserves a second chance, Repugnus. The fact that you tried to save Red Alert—the very person who placed you in chains—speaks values about your character.”
