00:00It looked very aggressive, looked like he was attacking the Secretary of Homeland,

00:19and he was attacking police officers, and so that's against the law.

00:25Do you think it was the right move for him to maintain that?

00:28If he's attacking police officers and he's aggressively attacking the Secretary of Homeland,

00:33yes, he should be arrested.

00:34No one is above the law.

00:40Do you think that this cuts bill is going to make it through the Senate?

00:43I cannot comprehend Republicans not passing this doge rescission cuts.

00:49And I was really shocked.

00:51I couldn't believe during the vote that we had to fight through to get it passed.

00:55The first list of no's was Amade, Bacon.

01:00What do we have here?

01:02There were two Republicans that flipped their votes in order to get it passed,

01:12and that was Bacon and, let's see, who else flipped?

01:18Well, Loda.

01:19But the four Republicans that voted against it, it just, it absolutely makes no sense.

01:25Senator Padilla in that incident was identifying himself as a senator.

01:30You can hear it on the video.

01:31Should senators not be allowed to go to events like that with public officials

01:36and ask questions like you?

01:38Sir, are you saying senators should be able to attack police officers and aggressively attack the Secretary of Homeland?

01:44I mean, just because he's a senator, is he above the law?

01:49Is that what you're saying?

01:50I've been on the oversight committee most of the day where we have been talking to blue state governors,

01:59Kathy Hochul from New York, who her sanctuary policies are responsible for killing Lake and Riley.

02:05They arrested her murderer, and they let him go, and they paid for his flight to Georgia.

02:10We've been there with the loser, former Vice President candidate Tim Waltz from Minnesota,

02:18talking to him about his sanctuary policies, and Governor Pritzker of Illinois talking to him about his sanctuary policies.

02:25I haven't reviewed this full video, but if you're attacking the Secretary of Homeland, being aggressive,

02:30and you're fighting with police officers, yeah, you're going to get arrested, just like McIver,

02:34just like Congresswoman McIver, is charged on three charges, federally charged.

02:40Yeah, no one's above the law.

02:42It's pretty easy.

02:43Your Democratic colleagues...

02:44He says he wasn't arrested.

02:45What in the video makes you...

02:46You know what, like I said, I've been on the oversight committee,

02:48where we're talking to blue state governors who are responsible for killing Americans.

02:51So, have you seen the video?

02:52They're responsible for killing Americans with their sanctuary city policies.

02:57That's more important to Americans.

02:58But have you seen the video, Congressman?

02:59I'm going to tell you, you guys in the press might think it's a big deal that this senator,

03:03that was attacking and fighting with police and being aggressive towards...

03:07But have you seen the video?

03:08Yeah, I've seen it on social media, briefly.

03:10Yeah, and I saw him fighting with police.

03:12And apparently, that's why he got arrested.

03:15And if you think...

03:16That may be important to you.

03:18But if you think the American people think it's a good idea to not arrest the senator,

03:23because somehow he's so above everyone else, you got it wrong.

03:27On this vote...

03:28On this vote...

03:29On this vote...
