Troops in LA, A Senator In Handcuffs And A Nation On Edge w/ Mike Madrid
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
During a Department of Homeland Secuirty press conference on Thursday, California Senator Alex Padilla (D) attempted to interrupt to ask a question. DHS accused him of not identifying himself (He did) and lunging at Secretary Kristi Noem (video from mulitple angles shows he didn't).
Instead of allowing him to ask his question, Padilla, a sitting member of the Senate Judiciary Committee, was forcefully removed, made to kneel, and handcuffed by federal agents. It's practically unprecedented.
Grant talks to Mike Madrid, the long-time CA conservative strategist about his friendship with Padilla, how what's happening in LA and across the country is impacting the Latino community and whether Gavin Newsom is the Democrats long lost hope.
