The senator started storming Christy Noam's DHS event, right, that she was having for reporters and for press and like it didn't even make any sense. Who would do this, right? Why would you go up yelling at the stage? Nobody knew who he was. I mean, listen, I'm in the news business and I had never really seen this guy. He had been appointed, okay, by Newsome. So nobody knew who he was.

He wasn't wearing his Senate pin. Dan Bongino, our friend Dan, he's livid about it. He's like, look, the FBI is just doing their jobs. Secret Service just. doing their job because when somebody does this, it's kind of not okay. All right, let's watch together. I'm Senator Alex Padilla. I have questions for the secretary because the fact of the matter is a half a dozen selling criminals that you're rotating on your hands off. Do you see that? Okay, so then they they grabbed it. We should watch it together.

together again. Let me put my camera up so you can see me. I'm Senator Alex Pudia. I have questions for the secretary because the fact of the matter is a half a dozen So he's not really pushing back. But you can see, you know, the issue here is that he's storming the stage. She's up there speaking and nobody really knows who he is. I mean, he did, he did identify himself just a little bit there. Let's go back for a moment and see what he says here. go. I have questions for the secretary. Okay, let's see if he says who he is. I'm Senator Alex Padilla. I'm Senator Alex Padilla. I have question for the secretary because the fact of the matter is a half a dozen criminal that you're rotating on your, on your, I mean, he's doing it all on stage.

Come on. And so then you get the FBI there. And then the FBI, you see the FBI? You see the FBI? I guys, they take him down and they handcuff him and the left is now going crazy. But I'm looking at it and saying, who the heck storms a stage? I mean, come on. Like, time and place. I mean, do we have to go back to that? It's like La Monica all over again out in New Jersey. Really and truly people.

Come on. So they're all freaking out. But I'm telling you that he was worried to be a security threat. Okay? And this is a DHS event. Let's watch a reaction. I would say as we were conducting. a press conference to update everyone on the enforcement actions that are ongoing to bring peace

to the city of Los Angeles. And this man burst into the room, started lunging towards the podium, interrupting me, and elevating his voice, and was stopped, did not identify himself and was removed from the room. So as soon as he identified himself, you know, appropriate actions were taken. But I would say that, you know, I had a conversation with the senator after this. We sat down for 10 to 15 minutes and talked about the fact that nobody knew who he was. He didn't say who he was, that until he was already had been lunging forward and people were trying to detain him for quite a period of time. And that this, you know, we're leaders, we're public servants. And if he had requested a meeting, I would have loved to have sat down and had a conversation with him.

That coming into a press conference like this is political theater, it's wrong and it does a disturbance to this country and the people who live here. So we sat down, had a conversation. We probably disagree on 90% of the topics, but we agreed to exchange phone numbers. We'll continue to talk and share information, and I think that's the way it should be in this country. I wish he would have acted that way in the beginning instead of creating a scene like this. Yeah, I mean, unnecessary, right? I mean, he's feared to be some kind of security threat. You get a cabinet secretary out there.

You get Secret Service, who, by the way, you know, they were already caught. Kind of asleep on the job. Remember how they stole all the cash out of her wallet there in D.C.? So they're under pressure. And you get some guy yelling at her and marching towards a stage and nobody recognizes. I mean, look if it were Bernie Sanders, right? Maybe people would know, but this guy nobody's ever seen. I mean, listen, okay, I'm in the news business.

I wouldn't have recognized him. And I have a pretty good fluency, you know, in terms of who's a senator, who's not, et cetera. So like these secret service agents are like, who is this guy? and, you know, he could have been some measly state senator for all they knew. All they know is they're in charge of protecting her. He's yelling out and marching towards the stage. What was he going to do? Like, boost her off of the podium and say, hey, let me have the microphone and take over.

Come on. Okay, so they're doing their job. And now you should hear the chorus from the left. Oh, my gosh, they are absolutely positively livid. I mean, they're getting kind of cray-gray on this thing. But you know what? it's feeding into their narrative. They're trying to use this as a political opportunity. You know what I tell you? This thing was staged. He knew exactly what he was doing. He knew that

nobody knew who he was and Newsom appointed him. Nobody knew. So he walked in there into a press event deliberately to cause this kind of commotion. And then they knew their script. They knew their script. They were going to say, hey, you know, like if they can do this to Padilla, look, they can do it to you. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. They're going after a sitting U.S. Senator. Look what they did to La Monica. McGuver, who is now facing 17 years in federal prison. Yeah, for assaulting an ICE officer. At least he had the decency not to shove and push and all that kind of thing.

When you look at the tape, he's just kind of backing off. But they're doing their job. Let me see if I can get the statement from Dan Bonjino. I know you guys are mad at Dan right now because of the lack of coverage of the Epstein stuff. But Dan did actually put out a good statement. and he's a pretty honest broker. I've known him a long time. And I just want to share this with you because, you know,

Dan's point was what's the Secret Service supposed to do? Thank you very much. We're going to go to Cory Booker, you know, Spartacus over there in New Jersey, who's using this as his grandstanding moment. He's like, wait a second, why is somebody else getting attention? Why am I not getting every single bit of attention? This should be me with this opportunity. I'm telling you, they're trying to make it into some kind of George Floyd thing.

This is what, you know, this is what Annapalina Luna warned about on this show when she came on earlier this week, she said they were trying to use this. What they had realized is, per all the new CNN data, they actually are losing ground significantly with Mexican Americans and people who are here legally. And so in order to make up for that, they're trying some funky stuff and they want to turn this into some kind of George Floyd moment in California. And they thought they could, right? They thought they could because they thought, as of yesterday, that the judge was going to agree with them. But that is not the case. The judge did. didn't agree with them at all. And as a result of that, they've got to find a way to get back,

especially ahead of midterms, some of these Hispanic voters. And before we go to Spartacus and his craziness, I want to show you that even CNN, guys, even CNN cannot believe that the demographic, the Democrats are hurting the most with happens to be people who just came to this country legally and are immigrant voters. So what do they do? They turn this into a, a total circus in an attempt to win these people back. Watch. Oh, darn it. But the Senate does it's a disclaimer. For some reason, our friend over at CNN is not coming through for us. But anyway, his point was a massive, massive uptick. A massive uptick, you can see it there in his graphic plus eight points for the GOP when it comes to this group of immigrants. And you know what?

Overall, they are winning this demographic. So people have just come to this country, they've done it legally. They don't want illegals here that are threats to their community. So you can see strategically, the Democrats really, really, really, really have a problem. You know, it's funny because it didn't always used to be like this. In fact, I can remember a time when a lot of Democrats actually felt quite significantly a different way. You know, Bernie Sanders back in the day, Bernie Sanders, he used to actually believe, did he not, that migration into the country unchecked would actually be really, really bad for working class Americans. I'm going to show you a tape from 2015.

Okay, this is important. I want you to watch this because here he is in this interview. And he's saying something that actually sounds a whole lot like the Trump camp. It's like Bernie, you kind of are getting a little maga there. Okay, so just remember this before we go to Cory Booker and see his big performance. This is Bernie Sanders, 2015, you guys. open borders. That's a coke on this proposal.

The idea, of course. I mean, that's a right-wing proposal which says essentially there is no United States. But it would make a lot of global poor richer, wouldn't it? And it'd make everybody in America poor. Then you're doing away with the concept of a nation state. And I don't think there's any country on the world which believes in that.

If you believe in a nation state or in a country called the United States or UK or Denmark or any other country, you have an obligation, in my view, to do everything we can to help poor people. What right-wing people in this country would love is an open border policy, bring in all kinds of people who work for two or three dollars an hour. That would be great for them. I don't believe in that. I think we have to raise wages in this country. I think we have to do everything that we can to create the millions of jobs. You know what, youth unemployment in the United States of America today? If you're white, a white kid high school graduate, 33%,

The Hispanic, 36%, African-American, 51%. You think we should open the borders and bring in a lot of low-wage workers? What do you think maybe we should try to get jobs for those kids? So I think from a moral responsibility, we've got to work with the rest of the industrialized world to address the problems of international poverty, but you don't do that by making people in this country even poorer. There's no doubt about it.

I mean, she was holding a press conference and doing a press statement. He's not a member of the press. It wasn't like a hearing where it was an open forum for senators to ask questions. He clearly showed up to a public event to create a moment and do what you're saying, sort of show his constituents, not just Democrats, but that he's fighting from his perspective. Fighting from his perspective. All right. There you go.

There you have it. Even CNN knows this was nuts. This was just an actor doing his thing. I mean, couldn't they have gotten Adam Schiff? Oh, no, he's too recognizable. See, like people would have recognized Adam Schiff. This one nobody knew. So he kind of could slide under the radar and get in there.

And then they say, oh, my gosh, if they can take him down, they can take you down. They can take anyone down. And so this was Corey Booker, Senator from New Jersey's little moment of fame, you guys. And it's wild. It's wild because if you go back a few years, you know, look at, say, Bernie, they had a very different view on this policy, okay? Very, very, very different view on this policy. You fast forward today. What's different?

Trump, that's one thing, right? So they have to stand in opposition to Trump. So therefore, they make immigration the issue. But the other thing that's really alarming, and you can go back to what New York was trying to do, and we showed you the New York Times report 800,000 non-citizens that they were trying to make voters in the state of New York until it got all the way up to the appeals court. And the appeals court was like, no, I can't do this. They can't vote in state elections. So you wonder, okay, one, do they want people to vote? And two, do they actually want to change demographics of districts so that if you have more people in a particular district, you count them in your population and therefore you can have more Democrats in there in Congress.

Right? Like I don't think it's conspiracy theory anymore to say that. I think we know exactly what they were doing. And by sending them to Texas and Senate into Florida, the idea is, okay, we're going to get more people there. And the hope is, the hope is that we're going to have more people to vote blue. And so there is a method to the madness that, you know, should have been called out, is being called out, but they're not willing to do so.

Instead, they're trying to twist this into something else entirely. Okay, you ready? We're going to watch Corey get all dramatic on us. Like he deserves some kind of Emmy Award. Yeah, it would be an Emmy too, right? For this performance, ladies and gentlemen, Senator Cory Booker from New Jersey, not to be outdone by Senator Padilla from California. He needs his three minutes of fame. watch. And this son of Mexican immigrants who clean homes and serve food, this man with equal

dignity in this body, today was driven violently to his knees, as if made to kneel before the authority of the executive, because he was so-called disrespectful. That should offend the consciousness, not just of the other 99 members of this body, it should offend the conscience of this country. Because if you can make Alex Padilla forcibly kneel before this executive, when does it stop? He's a United States senator. And if you can force him to kneel to his knees violently, when does it stop? What does it say to other Americans who want to speak up What does it say to other Americans that want to exercise their constitutional duty? What does it say to other Americans this weekend when they want to peacefully protest?

What does it say to other Americans from humble backgrounds who know poverty? That if a United States senator who stands up to do its job could be made to heal, driven to his knees, violently handcuffed, what does it say? Okay. Okay. We get the picture. We know where you're. going with this. We weren't born yesterday, okay? We're astute political people too here on the Trish Regan show. And that was, ladies and gentlemen, a performance, a performance by the Senate around in California, a performance by Corey Booker, because you know what, they've realized they're kind of, they're kind of screwed, okay? For lack of a better word, they're going to screw because guess what the court just decided? The court decided that, yes, the federal government

has the power that we always knew they did have. So if you choose to violate the law, And if you choose to actually say we're going to welcome everyone and refuse to cooperate with ICE, even when we have people that are here illegally that have committed crimes, then guess what? You're going to be in trouble. And you're going to be standing in opposition to the law. And that's exactly what's going on. This is nothing about kings.

This is nothing about this or that. I mean, politically speaking, yeah, that's how they're going to try and play it.
