venezuelans who came here legally back to venezuela. and, jake, it goes well beyond the people that we spoke with. real people are being impacted by this. we heard the story of a child who is on dialysis of grandparents, who are both being treated for cancer. these are real people who are going to be forced to leave this country and head back to venezuela, unless they can find somewhere else to take them in. jake. >> all right. our thanks to randi kaye in florida and priscilla alvarez for the reporting. at the top of that, you can follow me on facebook, instagram and on tiktok at jake tapper. you can follow the show on x at the lead, cnn. have you ever miss an episode of the lead? well, you can listen to the show once you get your podcasts. erin burnett outfront starts right now. erin, take it away. >> outfront next, breaking news. a u.s. senator. >> handcuffed california's alex. >> padilla, forcibly removed. >> from a dhs.
4:01 pm
>> press conference with kristi noem democrats calling for an investigation. >> the house. >> descending into a shouting match over the incident. senator padilla is out front. this hour. and a miraculous escape. just one man made it out alive after a boeing 787 dreamliner just plummets to the ground after takeoff. all people on board were killed, but one. we have a special investigation and a look at the survivor. and kim jong un's dearest comrade, not trump. the north korean leader writing putin in a letter that is overflowing with adoration. while trump's letter to kim has reportedly been ignored. let's go out front. good evening. i'm erin burnett, outfront tonight, we begin with breaking news, tensions boiling over, anger over trump's immigration raids and his decision to deploy national guard forces and u.s. marines to los angeles reached a fever pitch today. here's what happened. a u.s. senator gets forced to the floor in handcuffs during a press conference being held by the secretary of
4:02 pm
homeland security. kristi noem. so let's show you exactly what happened when democratic senator alex padilla tried to ask homeland security kristi noem a question. here's what unfolded. >> and what they have tried to insert. >> i want to know. >> why you insist on. >> exaggerating and embellishing. sir has been able. >> to do this. hands up! hands up. >> also, i want. >> to ask senator. >> alex padilla. >> i have a question for the secretary. because the fact of the matter is, a half a dozen other criminals that are rotating on your on your. >> i also want to. >> talk about. >> it's an unsettling moment. padilla forcibly removed from the room, as you can see, and what you're about to see now. all right. is what? so we just saw him get get over to the door. right. being pushed. let's show you what happened next. >> on the ground. >> on the ground! >> hands behind your back! hands behind your back!
4:03 pm
>> let me see my hands. go ahead. put him behind my back. >> all right. cool. good hand. >> lay flat. lay flat. >> other hands. here. >> other hand. >> there's no recording. >> allowed on here. sir. i do not know. >> there's no recording. >> allowed on here, per fbi. >> right. >> so you heard that official there, off camera at the end saying no recording allowed in here per fbi rights, as they noticed that someone from his office was actually filming all of this. the images of a sitting u.s. senator being forced to the ground and handcuffed, as i said, are unsettling. it is shocking. padilla has just spoken about the incident. >> if this is how this administration responds to a senator with a question. if this is how the department of homeland security responds to a senator with a question, you can
4:04 pm
only imagine. what they're doing to farmers, to cooks, to day laborers out in the los angeles community and throughout california and throughout the country. >> all right. senator padilla is going to be out front in just a few moments to talk about exactly what happened. as reaction to the incident has been swift, the california governor, gavin newsom, posting a picture of padilla being handcuffed with the caption if they can handcuff a u.s. senator for asking a question, imagine what they will do to you. minority leader chuck schumer calling for an investigation, the l.a. mayor calling the incident abhorrent and outrageous. now that's on the democratic side. but as for repu differently. the house speaker said that padilla charged the so went on television to defend her agent's response. >> this man burst into the room, started lunging towards the podium, interrupting me and elevating his voice, and was
4:05 pm
stopped. did not identify himself, and was removed from the room. >> that all went down on the ground in los angeles, but in washington, at an oversight hearing. it then devolved into what frankly can be called a childish fight. after they got word that padilla had been handcuffed. >> will you commit on the record to subpoenaing kristi noem. because a u.s. senator was just thrown to the ground and detained in his own? >> democrats can't follow the rules, can't follow the. >> law, can't follow the law. shut up. just shut up. no you don't. no. you're not going to tell me to shut up. >> maybe my reaction is the same as your reaction. that's just embarrassing to hear coming from america's capitol. our congresspeople. trump's immigration crackdown and his decision to send troops into los angeles has crossed a line. it has struck a nerve for so many in this country, no matter their political persuasion. and cities
4:06 pm
across the country right now are preparing for a seventh day of protests about these ice roundups, these mass roundups of immigrants. these are pictures of chicago, where you can see crowds gathering now in san francisco. meantime, we are standing by for a decision after a high stakes hearing. so you remember this when the governor of california filed for a temporary restraining order to say that you could not have the national guard used by trump in los angeles on the ground against his wishes, and that immediate or we could get relief in hours that was denied. they had a hearing today. and after that hearing, the judge could be issuing a decision at any moment, which could be extremely significant. and we're talking about that coming out by the end of the day. los angeles time, which would be sometime this hour. so we are watching for that at any moment. it came as trump's defense defense secretary today, pete hegseth, refused to say, okay, now here's the problem. he refused to say whether he would actually honor the ruling of the court. if the court does not take his
4:07 pm
side and sides with the state of california. >> here's where. >> i hope we. >> can agree. >> whatever the federal district court decides, will you abide by it? >> well, this is a pending. this is a situation. >> so will you agree. >> though, that it's not my legal view? it's not your legal view that makes the decision in america. >> it's the federal judiciary. if the federal. >> court in california, in the. >> san francisco, the district judge. >> has an. >> orders, a. >> preliminary injunction. >> will you agree to abide by the federal courts? >> what i will tell you is my job right now is to ensure the troops that we have in los angeles are capable of supporting law enforcement. >> of course, the issue on the ground, where was that? there did not appear to be any need for that support of law enforcement. but the crucial question here is whether they will abide by the ruling of a court, whatever it may be, and we await that ruling any moment here. let's go to the ground in los angeles. nick watt is there. and, nick, what are you seeing tonight?
4:08 pm
>> festive vibe. we've got a few new signs, though. all my homies hate ice. we've seen that a few days. hands off our senator alex padilla. it is a lot louder here today. it's peaceful, but a lot louder. they've opened the ramps on the freeway, so there's a lot more traffic. there's a lot of people. as the day goes on that is picking up, as we've seen over the past few days now, slight change in tactics from the federal side. past few days. we've seen mark dhs vans coming in and out, always met with volleys of cussing. today we've only seen unmarked vehicles with plainclothes personnel trying to get in and out without being noticed. that has been not entirely successful. now, the mayor announced we will have another curfew tonight, 8 p.m. local time here in los angeles. last night we saw the lapd moving in and making arrests. even before then. so after about 7 p.m., they declared an
4:09 pm
unlawful assembly outside city hall, and the police moved in and started arresting dozens of people. so the crowd right now, definitely getting livelier, still peaceful. for now. aaron. >> all right. nick, thank you very much. and, you know, they keep that road open in front of the federal buildings. a lot of the solidarity that is shown is by the horn beeping that you see. so more of that as they've opened the ramps to the freeway that are right there on the end of that block. let's go now to democratic senator mark kelly sits on the armed services committee, retired navy captain as well. and of course, senator, you flew combat missions, space shuttle missions as well. so in this moment, and as i said, senator, this could come at any moment. we're expecting very possibly by the end of business california time. so in the next 50 minutes, a federal judge issuing a ruling as to whether trump is allowed to deploy the california national guard troops against the will of the california governor. right. that's what's at stake here. that's what's in front of the court. you know, i spent the past few days there, and certainly what i saw, even when
4:10 pm
there was some small incidents of violence, was there was not an actual practical need for that support. but in terms of the legality of it, do you believe trump's order was lawful? >> yeah. i do not. the president doesn't. without without the request of a governor should not be sending mobilizing federalized national guard troops. and he certainly shouldn't be sending u.s. marines who are not trained to do this kind of work. what really concerns me, though, even beyond this, is what you just mentioned, the clip you showed of the secretary of defense, pete hegseth, basically saying that he he, he doesn't really care about what the decision of the court is. if that happens, we are deeper into a constitutional crisis with this administration. >> and, you know, why do you think he responded the way he responded? i mean, obviously he didn't directly say he would defy, but he refused to answer the question in saying affirmatively that he would abide by the decision if it didn't go his way. right. he he clearly didn't want to say that. he didn't feel that he
4:11 pm
could say that. and maybe that, senator, is the big problem. >> well, it's part of the problem. i mean, every one of the not everyone, but most of the the top leadership in this administration, they don't want to upset this president. and they put people around him who are a bunch of yes men, yes women sycophants, and they don't want to upset donald trump. that's not the way to have a functional government, at least not the united states government. and what happened today with alex padilla, i mean, this is the kind of stuff you see in russia and china, not the united states. it's un-american. >> i want to play again what we saw with senator padilla. so he goes into the press conference with the dhs secretary, kristi noem, and she's talking and he does interrupt her, starts asking a question. he identifies himself at the end of the question when they were starting to handcuff him. senator alex padilla, senator alex padilla, he's handcuffed on the ground, and he is going to be with us in just a moment. senator kelly, he's going to be be here live.
4:12 pm
but the fbi deputy director, dan bongino, has just posted on social media that padilla was not wearing a security pin and physically resisted law enforcement when confronted. our fbi personnel acted completely appropriately while assisting secret service, and we're grateful for their professionalism and service. is that what you saw? >> well, we don't wear this pin here except on the in the in the u.s. capitol. i don't i don't wear it anywhere else. and she said this guy burst into the room. i saw an interview by alex. he was already sitting in the room. and by the way, if you're the secretary of homeland security and you're in the state of california, you should know what the two senators look like. i mean, she is a cabinet secretary. i mean, this idea this guy bursts into the room. it's ridiculous. you know, it's, you know, on its face, it's not it's not believable. so, you know, i think what happened in that room is putting us on a very dangerous path. >> well, you have a very fair point. if you're in the state of california in this moment,
4:13 pm
you should know who the two the two u.s. senators are. >> just two. >> just two. u.s. northern command has put out images. senator of the u.s. marines rehearsing. and you said that that's not what they're trained to do, right? to do domestic law enforcement, but they're rehearsing ahead of being deployed in los angeles area. right. we understand there's 700 of them that have been put at the ready. they weren't there on the ground, certainly, that we've seen in the past few days, but that they're training right now. so as a former military officer, what is your reaction to the images that we are seeing? these are formal images being put out by u.s. northern command of the very marines who they say they're training for, l.a. >> well, i'm going to have a conversation with the head of northern command, general guillermo. you know about this. this is the first time i'm seeing these images. but also, you know, i plan to talk to the chairman of the joint chiefs because, i mean, it's not only this. i mean, it's sending marines. it's what happened at fort bragg the other day where the president was clearly using
4:14 pm
soldiers as political props to further a political message and an agenda. it's again, and i hate to use this word again, but it is unamerican. it's not anything i've seen, certainly not during my service 25 years in the united states navy, but not even in my lifetime have i seen actions like this from a commander in chief presidents. every single one of them. in our lifetimes has has been somebody who brings us together, who unites us. and it seems to me that every decision this president makes is more about dividing our country. >> senator kelly, i appreciate your time. and thank you very much, sir. here on set with me in new york. ryan goodman, legal analyst, former special counsel at the defense department. so, ryan, let's just start with the hearing today. so this temporary restraining order that that that was requested by the governor of california to stop the u.s. marines national guard from being deployed. this is a big order. this is a very important
4:15 pm
thing. the judge had declined to give him that immediate. in a few hours, we're going to give it to i'm going to go look at it. there's going to be a hearing on thursday. here we are. it's thursday, the hearing has happened and the judge has said he expects to issue his ruling very soon, that it could come by the end of business today, which means it's coming in the next few minutes. where do you see this going? >> so the judge. >> somewhat revealed his hand. i usually would make a prediction, but i. >> think i'm. >> safe in saying. >> most people. >> would anticipate that within the hour. >> he will issue. an order that in fact does say that it was. >> not that the president united states did not properly federalize the. national guard, that the order. >> is illegal. at the same. >> time, he. >> will say that the marines are a separate matter, and he does. >> not think. >> he has enough evidence there to say anything about stopping the marines, because that's a separate constitutional authority. >> so in the what the judge said, when you talk about what may have revealed his hand, all right, he said, quote, the president is of course, limited into his authority. i mean, that's the difference between a
4:16 pm
constitutional government and king george. king george, of course, was the president during the boston tea party, right? i mean, just be careful which which king we picked. okay. there's something meaningful in that king. it's not that a leader can simply say something and then it becomes it that those are strong words. >> very strong. and i think that's part of the reason as to the federal government's argument kind of fell apart. >> because the. >> federal government is making a very extreme argument before the judge there saying, you cannot even look at this. if the they even said at a certain point, even if president trump had no evidence of what was going on in the ground, he could still issue the memorandum to authorize the national guard. and the judge is saying, no, that would be a monarchy. like it can't be that it's completely beyond review, especially because the national guard is actually a congressional power, not a presidential power. it's the congress that calls up the militia. >> and does the i was saying, you know, being on the ground, the does the practical how much of a role does that play? i mean, you have 18,000. they've said this in l.a., 18,000 lapd, l.a. county sheriffs, california highway. they are the best of the best at what they do. that
4:17 pm
includes riots and protests, and they're doing it. and they have 18,000 now. they're not going to do it. but the point is, they have mass force. okay. and you had a few national guard around a federal building. they had scores of people who could have done that job. and the situation on the ground is such that we saw it even with the violence that we saw, sporadic as it was, that it did exist. they had it. they had it under control. does the practicality of the situation matter when it comes to a temporary restraining order? >> it does. it does because the judge might say part of the reason that he's going to find against the federal government is that it wasn't a rebellion at the time, and that the local authorities had it under control sufficiently, that there was no reason to then federalize the guard, because the statute requires those kinds of conditions to be first met. it's not clear. >> it's clearly not a rebellion. i mean, i'm just going to say standing there, that's a silly thing to say. >> absolutely. it's like facially it just doesn't hold up. so i think the judge might say that, and the judge also might alternatively say, you were supposed to go through the
4:18 pm
governor. you never went through the governor. the statute says you have to go through the governor. so that's another reason we don't know what exactly will be his basis. but it seems like he's going there. at the end of the hearing, he was actually just haggling over how his order would look in a certain sense. so that's why i think it's pretty clear how he's going to come out. >> all right. well, we're here. you're going to be here for us through the hour. because obviously this is crucial, especially in light of what we just heard from defense secretary hegseth with his refusal to say that he would honor the order explicitly if it did not go in favor of president trump. next, we are going to speak to senator padilla after he was handcuffed and forcibly removed from that dhs news conference. he's going to explain exactly what happened in that moment, exactly what he says went down. and the breaking news this hour about that plane. it was a boeing 787 dreamliner had just taken off, was in the air for less than 30s. and then that was it. but one person miraculously survived. 241 others on board were killed. special investigation next, such
4:19 pm
that we know what happened already. and gavin newsom taking a page from trump's playbook, now saying that the president is not all there are all these new attacks helping newsom gain mass democratic support. >> donald. >> the whole. >> story with anderson cooper sunday at 8:00 on cnn. >> nerds excited for his. >> big date. >> but he's wondering. >> what if a flaky plaque throws me off my game? hey. >> what if ned knew he could. >> treat differently? >> otezla is the number one prescribed pill to treat plaque psoriasis. otezla can help you get clear skin and reduce itching and flaking. doctors have been prescribing otezla for over a decade. don't use otezla if you're allergic to it. get medical help right away. if you have trouble breathing or swallowing. swelling of the

4:24 pm
hospital. he somehow walked away. and i'm not using that euphemistically. he actually walked away from the crash, which we now understand. including people on the ground has killed at least 290 people, 241 on board. the moment of impact was caught on camera. these videos are disturbing. this is the security camera, just the footage right outside the airport. so this is just a regular camera. going all the time takes off. everything looks normal until about 11 seconds in and it starts to falter and almost float. it appears it only got 625ft into the air. that's when pilots issued a mayday, so they knew immediately something was wrong. that's the last contact they had with the plane. it then plunged from the sky. and then that horrific fireball. katie polglase has an outfront investigation on what we know happened on that flight. >> these are the final moments of. >> air india flight 171. >> a boeing. >> 787 dreamliner with more. than 200 people on board, struggling to stay in the air. it crashes in a huge fireball. a
4:25 pm
cnn analysis geolocating multiple social media videos and examining flight tracking data shows how the deadly crash unfolded. the plane took off at 1:38 p.m. local time from ahmedabad airport in western india. cnn synced together flight tracking data with this video from a security camera. the dreamliner is heading to london gatwick airport. it reaches 625ft in the air, but then the tracking stops less than a minute after takeoff. you can see in the cctv it starts descending, plummeting at a speed of 475ft per minute before it hits the ground. but there was enough time for a mayday call, according to india's civil aviation director geolocated. videos show the plane crashed just outside the airport. this video of the plane's fall was filmed about 650ft beyond the airport perimeter, on the ground at part of the crash site, you can see
4:26 pm
the plane's tail lodged in the roof of a building. that building is here housing a food hall and just half a mile from the airport. the fuselage and main crash site, just 465ft away from the tail, where a massive fireball can be seen in a populated neighborhood. officials say people on the ground are among the dead. closer footage shows the horrific aftermath as recovery teams comb through the charred wreckage, but incredibly, at least one passenger survived and was taken to the hospital. he heard a loud bang about 30s after takeoff. he was in seat 11, which, according to online seat maps, is right next to the emergency exit. this is the first crash of a boeing 787 dreamliner, and while the cause is still unknown, this latest disaster puts more pressure on boeing. following a string of failures in recent years. well, erin, according to the plane's tail number, it started flying
4:27 pm
in 2013, just two years after boeing started manufacturing the 787 dreamliners. what investigators will now be looking into are the maintenance records and pilot training in their search for answers. erin. >> katie, thank you so much. that investigation. let's go now to doctor richard markwalter, orthopedic spine surgeon. he is treated plane crash survivors and trauma survivors over decades in his career. also with us aviation analyst miles o'brien. miles, i said you've done all you know so much over the years, mh370, every single one of these horrific tragedies. miles, can i just show again because of of the different video out there? it is that security footage that somehow maybe strikes all of us because everybody can imagine those first moments when the plane comes and you feel that lift underneath you and you're off and you're safe, and we're watching this and in the air, it's only in the air. about 30s it at a second 11 where you start to see it, you know, stop in a sense kind of seem to falter and flounder when you
4:28 pm
watch all of this. we're going to play it all the way out. miles, what stands out to you? >> look at about 10 seconds or so, erin, you hit the the number perfectly. up until that point, i would say this is just a routine takeoff of a78, seven at 10 seconds. what we should see are the gear stowed away and a continuation of the climb. why is the landing gear still out? what happened there? there's another angle which seems to indicate that the flaps, the trailing edge, aerodynamic surfaces which are designed to increase lift of the wing when it's flying slowly on takeoff and landing, which are essential for that slow speed flight. it appears they were not deployed. so there's a misconfiguration here. how that happened, why it happened is really at the crux of this right now, right. >> which is why they're looking at whether they're looking at training, they're looking at maintenance. doctor walter, you know, we also have the video of
4:29 pm
the only survivor walking away. and just before we came on, you know, everyone, we were talking and i was saying to the doctor, i didn't believe it when i first saw it. i didn't believe it. i said, there's no way you look at that. and every single person is dead. and the survivors walking away like he's fine. but it is true. it is real. he, he. that's him. he's walking away. he's talking about what happened. he was totally aware. he, you know, wasn't as if he blacked out. doctor, he said 30s after takeoff, there was a loud noise and then the plane crashed and every other person died. and. and how shocking is it? he's walking away. >> yes. >> and thank you for having me. >> it's a tragic, tragic story. >> and he was. probably in just the. >> right place. >> on the plane, because that plane caught flames. >> immediately. and you would. >> and it wasn't. >> like the. >> there was. >> a time to prepare the cabin. they were. you've all been on the planes, you know, prepare for arrival. and we've been on planes that didn't land as smoothly as we'd all expected.
4:30 pm
but this plane went up and came down and burst into flames. so his only chance is that he was right by a place that opened up. so was it a door that. >> opened or would like. >> like the door. >> down and he got ejected with the door and he got. >> out the fireball. >> he got out before the flames. >> i mean, it is just stunning. miles, can we just look at the layout of the plane? okay, this is the inside of the dreamliner is the way they fly it. we'll show everyone just, you know, the seat map when you go on and you select your seat. okay. 11 a, 11 a is an exit row. there's room in front of it. he is in the window seat. now, i'll point out that. whether it was 11 f or whatever it is on the other side would be presumablin a similar situation, but that person did not survive. we've seen the ticket, right? that's the seat. it's in front of the wing. so when you look at the location, miles, tell us why it may have mattered so much. >> well, remember where the fuel is in the wing. so ahead of the wing, he's sitting right beside
4:31 pm
the door. you know, people, aaron always ask me, where should i sit on an airplane? in front of the plane. back of the plane. i always say statistically, sit in the exit row. that's where the door is. and i think this has been proven on this occasion. now, what happened on the right side? maybe there were there was a bigger tree there or a structure. there's all kinds of factors that come in into this. but the fact i had the exact same reaction as you when i saw him walking, seemingly casually, presumably a lot of adrenaline flowing through his veins, walking away from that crash. i thought this couldn't be real, but there it is. >> i mean, no one else in that area survived. i mean, as miles said, perhaps part of that hit the building or but, you know, there's the structural reasons for that seat. and then there's just the i mean, i don't know what word one wants to use. maybe miracle is not the right word, but he's the only one. >> he's the only survivor. and he got out of that plane before it burst into flames, because
4:32 pm
there weren't that plane didn't land and people had the usual deceleration injuries like car accidents. that plane burst into flames and jet fuel burns at like 1800 degrees. so the chance of surviving that is pretty close to zero. >> so they would have died immediately. >> so he got out before the fire, or else he would have asphyxiated. >> and with very even burning, he was ejected pretty far because we see it land. everyone sees the flame go up. right? i mean, that ejection had to. >> have happened. >> on impact. he got thrown with the door in the exit row. >> absolutely incredible. and would have of course been in his seat with his seatbelt on. all right. thank you both so very much. and next, the california senator alex padilla as promised, is out front the white house now saying he should be, quote, ashamed of his childish behavior after he was handcuffed during a dhs news conference. he is going to tell us everything that he knows about the incident with us live next. and the california governor, gavin newsom, upping the ante tonight with a defiant message to protesters taking on trump.

4:38 pm
kristi noem the homeland security secretary. he was forcibly then handcuffed, brought down to the ground by fbi agents, handcuffed, and his team then told they weren't allowed to film in there after they had filmed what happened. now, senate minority leader chuck schumer demanding immediate answers about what happened. john thune, the majority leader, also saying he's looking into it. the white house blames padilla for the incident, saying that he lunged towards gnome and should be ashamed of his childish behavior. we're going to be joined by the democratic senator alex padilla of california in just a couple of moments. he's just getting in the seat. but joining us right now. so the former doj director of public affairs and the former minnesota governor, tim pawlenty, and we're talking to both of you here, right before we talk to the senator and of course, after. but can i just start with you, governor pawlenty, we know that everybody wants to understand what happened here. senator mark kelly made an interesting point at the top of the program. he said, look, you're in california. you're
4:39 pm
hosting a press conference in the state of california. in the moment that we are in in california and one of two senators from california is sitting in the room and stands up and starts talking. and you should know who he is and you should know who he is. and that would mean you don't just handcuff him. do you see it that way? >> no. >> i read and follow politics incredibly closely. >> and i. >> didn't know who he was. i had to look him up. and so to me, as. >> i. >> watched that video and i know he's sitting there, with all due respect, he looked like he wanted to create a spectacle. and if you approach a sitting cabinet secretary with a security portfolio and you do it in an aggressive manner, you should expect to be constrained and maybe shoved. and if they didn't know who he was, i think that was an appropriate response. >> so, governor, i understand exactly what you're saying, and i obviously have great respect for you. so i just want to make sure i really understand. do you really think that they shouldn't know who one of the two sitting senators of the state of california is when
4:40 pm
they're hosting a press conference on this issue in california? >> well. >> you would think so. but if they honestly didn't, and i'm at a podium and you're the director of homeland security, and somebody aggressively approaches and starts yelling. in that context, you should expect to get shoved back. i appreciate what the security did, if those are the facts. >> all right. so she how do you see it? >> so it's. >> not just security in the building. it wasn't any sort. >> of state security. local security. this is. >> united states secret service. >> the secret service. >> is tasked. >> with protecting. >> the department of homeland security, specifically. >> the secretary of. >> homeland security. and in the. >> role of the secret service. they're the part of the federal. >> government in that role. >> their job is to. protect the. >> secretary and against any threats. >> their job is not. >> to deal with protests or anything else. it's to protect the secretary. >> when it comes. >> to threats. if you're the united states secret service, you know exactly. >> who those. >> senators are. if your boss and the person you're protecting. is traveling to a state where there is a crisis,
4:41 pm
and the fact that they claim that they didn't know him, they you know, he is not you know, he is someone who went through security again, because there is a was a federal building. so i just want to remind you, this wasn't like they were outdoors in a park and some homeless man came in. they were in a federal building where everybody went through security. he yells a few questions, does not do anything else, and then is detained and put on the ground. you know, aaron, it really not only angers me, but it's it's clear that they did this because of the way that he looks. and it's really, really unsettling to me and to many latinos out there that this is what's happening. >> all right, both of you, please stay with me. as i said, the democratic senator alex padilla of california does join me now. and, senator, i appreciate your time. and i know you've you've had a day i don't know if you just heard what so she was saying she was saying that what she finds so unsettling as a hispanic woman is that she feels that this happened to you because of how you look. and that is one of two sitting senators from
4:42 pm
california. those those secret service agents would have known exactly who you were. and in fact, after you started talking, you said, i'm senator alex padilla and you said it multiple times. do you think that it was because of how you look? >> look, i don't know what the motives are. i think the the point is this, aaron. and as i said, when i, when i came out of the building a little while after the incident, if this can happen to me, a united states senator representing the state of california, this is how the department of homeland security and the people around the secretary will treat a united states senator for having the audacity to ask a question. then imagine what they can do. imagine what they are doing to people in communities, not just throughout los angeles, but throughout the country. now, back to the facts at hand here, because i also heard governor pawlenty's remarks. so let me just set the record straight. the the point was made. this wasn't at a park. this wasn't in front of a shopping center. this was inside a secure federal
4:43 pm
building. yes. i myself went through security screening to enter the building. why was i even there? i was there for a scheduled briefing with representatives of northcom northern command, because from the department of defense to the department of homeland security to the white house and everywhere in between, this is an administration that has been anything but transparent. and accountable with to to the members of the senate, to the congress in general, in our role of oversight and accountability, we have questions. we have questions. how is it that donald trump would, against the wishes of the governor of california, against the wishes of local law enforcement? nationalize federalized national guard troops and deploy them into a city where local law enforcement says, you know, we can control this. >> and, senator. go ahead. no, i just want to say we're awaiting an order from the judge, which we expect could come anytime, actually, in the next sort of 15
4:44 pm
to 20 minutes on that order, because there was a hearing today. so so we could get that news. even as you and i are speaking. but i, you know, i understand that it's just when you look at these images and your staff was there, they were able to record what happened in the room. and then when they took you in the hall outside and they they put you on the ground and they handcuff you and everybody is watching it and people are trying to understand what happened. it's unsettling. i mean, can i just show again the moment that you were detained, senator, because you're, you know, they're they're telling you to put your hands behind your back. they force you to the ground, they handcuff you. right. and this is after in the room. you asked a question when she was talking. it did sound like you were talking over her. you heard the governor say you were trying to create a spectacle. tell me exactly what happened. so you're just sitting in the room, and then what? tell me how you see it. >> so here's what happened. i'm in the conference room a couple doors down, waiting this briefing with representatives of northern command. we learn almost on the spot that there's this press conference going on down the hall. now, my briefing
4:45 pm
is delayed because of the folks in that press conference. from the moment i entered the building, i'm being escorted by a member of the national guard and an fbi agent. i asked, well, since we're waiting, can we go listen in to the press conference? they escort me over to the press conference. they opened the door for me. i'm standing in the back, behind the reporters, behind the cameras, just listening in, and at one point, the rhetoric, the rhetoric just got to be too much. not the first time, but the second time. the secretary takes it upon herself to say that the trump administration wants to liberate the people of los angeles from the governor and the mayor. it was just too much. and so, yes, i said who i was. i began to ask a question, and it was maybe half a second later before there was multiple agents on me. they shoved me outside. i was trying to both get my question out and not lose my balance. you know, one is telling me, get down on my knees and the other one's pushing me in a different direction. there was no resistance to to the
4:46 pm
contrary. i kept asking, why am i being detained? get down on your knees. turns into flat on the floor. i'm trying, but i'm being pushed and pulled in different directions. and finally, down on the floor, they handcuff me multiple times. why am i being detained? no response, no response, no response. finally, minutes later, i guess somebody around the secretary realizes this is the united states senator, and they come running down the hall and finally say, let him go. so again, the point is, if it can happen to me in that setting, imagine what they're doing to people all around the country. and let me also underscore this. it's not just about immigrants rights, which so many peaceful protesters are shouting about in los angeles. it's about all of our rights. the reason this crisis, this spectacle has been created by the trump administration this week is because of all the bad headlines of recent weeks, right? there are budget bill is being exposed for what it is gutting health
4:47 pm
care, gutting the social safety net to underwrite tax breaks for the rich. he certainly hasn't brought peace between russia and ukraine. he's losing every other day in court. he's broken up with his bff elon musk. so what does he do? he distracts and he scapegoats and demonizes immigrants. >> so, senator, can i ask, you know, as i as i watch this, i'm struck and i and i'm sure many people are struck, whatever their politics may be. you're sitting, senator, you're in the room and you identify yourself. we hear you identify yourself. i'm senator alex padilla, i'm senator alex padilla. i heard you say it, i believe, i think at least three times. and then this happens to you. i'm just curious. i'm sure maybe there's some part of you in that moment you're saying, well, i'm a sitting senator. this is this is not going to end. this isn't going to end badly. but you still had to be shocked, right? i mean, what was your emotion in that moment? i mean, this is not a position that you would have ever expected to find yourself in in a press conference,
4:48 pm
suddenly being tackled and wrestled and thrown to the ground and had handcuffs put on. >> you look, it took some restraint growing up where i grew up and how i grew up. aaron, trust me, it is not easy when you may be pushed around like that by a law enforcement official to have that restraint because it's a physical. reaction. but you know that if you don't oblige, it can escalate even more. so. so i think i was very, very restrained with everything that happened there. flash forward to now getting walked down a hall in handcuffs, not being told where we're going. are they escorting me outside? i don't know, am i taken to a detention facility? i don't know, it's probably not another conference room to, you know, go await the briefing, which never happened. by the way, after this all went down, the very folks i was
4:49 pm
upposed to meet with just
4:50 pm
said, you know, no briefing after all. so. you know, it saddens me, not just my kids that are watching this. and i've had to talk them through what happened and what it means and why i do what i do. but so many kids around the country, seeing an administration that puts united states senators in handcuffs, this is not normal. we cannot treat it as normal. >> no, it's not normal. the secretary noem she she came out afterwards and i'll play you what she said. i know you have since had a 10 to 15 minute conversation with her. and i want to ask you about what happened in that. but i wanted to play for you first, because i
4:51 pm
know you may not have had a chance to hear this. she went on fox news. she talked about the incident. here's what she said happened. >> 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. he didn't say who he was until he was already had been lunging forward, and people were >> so that's what she said. i don't know whether that was befoto her. she said you had a great about that agree? it was great? >> wefirst of wasn't lunging at her or anybody. and yes, i identified myself. so when the with the secretary and 'm just trying my job as a senan letters, whether it's on my potential audiesecretary, i to still not no apology, no acknowledgment ' not the big points i was twith her, points i was trying to make with and deportatithere's no
4:52 pm
detaining and deporting, went throuprocess and are working. as someone who cleans the rooms for ice agents who arstaying in hotels, work to clean the rooms even de hispanic. and that brings me to of uncle sam urging ice. that's actually came out from the official x account for the department of homeland security. deport all foreign invaders to ice. where is this headed? >> yeah, well, look, the trump and his entire administration are great at misinformation and disinformation, at causing chaos, at causing division. where is this going? it's going to keep getting worse. this is how authoritarianism happens. unless and until the people speak up and push back. and so that's why you've seen so many protesters, vast majority peaceful protesters, not just in and around los angeles this last week, but increasingly in other cities. so we have to continue to exercise our first amendment rights, keep it peaceful.
4:53 pm
violence is not tolerated. violence is not condoned. that will have its consequences. but people need to continue to speak up because this is not normal. >> senator padilla, i appreciate your time and thank you so much for coming on and talking about that incident today. we appreciate it. >> thank you, aaron. >> and next, california governor launching a new attack on trump, saying that the president is not all there mentally, which may make you recall things this president said about the last one. >> oh. >> what is that. musty smell? >> oh. >> damn. >> damn. >> oh,. >> hey, language. >> denver traps excess moisture to eliminate musty smells. get rid of the damp with damp. >> rid nascar on prime is headed to. mexico city. >> brand new road course for the cup. guys i. >> love it. sounds like a track with my name. >> all over it. >> actually, it's called autodromo hermanos rodriguez. >> through mexico city.

4:58 pm
>> all these things he. >> claimed he. >> told. >> me. >> about, which i'm honestly starts to disturb me on a different level, that maybe he actually believed he said those things. well, and he's not all there. i mean, that. >> of course, when trump put out evidence, you know, that he spoke to newsom, he put a screengrab out showing that he didn't talk to newsom on the day. he said he talked to newsom. so newsom is urging demonstrators not to stop protesting trump's immigration raids and policies, saying in part, keep up the pressure. do it peacefully. let's go to harry enten. who is here with me now? all right. this is a big moment for gavin newsom. it's a big moment. tell me something i don't know about him. >> i'll tell you. >> something that you don't know. >> a star. >> a political. >> star, perhaps has been born. because how many people watch gavin newsom's speech on just youtube alone? get this. over 3 million folks watch the speech on youtube alone. the speech, of course, about donald trump and the ice raids. and here's what's so interesting to put that in comparison. joe rogan, a very popular podcast, the most popular in america. his average podcast episode over the last month has averaged only 1.6 million youtube views this nth, so newsom's speech,
4:59 pm
very, very popular. >> okay, here's the thing, though. now everyone's talking about him. democratic candidate 2028. they've all run. i mean, i'm talking about lemmings and i'm only i'm saying this because a few weeks ago, they did not like him on the progressive left because he had a podcast where he was trying to find out what was wrong with the democratic party and listen to people on the right like steve bannon. and now all of a sudden it's like, oh, let's just forget that guy ever existed. here's our new hero. and then they run over. so you know what's happening here? >> yeah, i mean, take a look at the betting markets or take a look at the bettors. and they set the line and look at the chance of gavin newsom to be the next president of the united states. look at this. on june 5th, it was just 7%. look at that. by june 12th, nearly doubling to 13%. he has at this particular point, the number one most likely democratic candidate and the most likely president on the democratic side to be president of all the other democrats running at this point or maybe running. >> all right. well, i guess one thing we know that says is the democratic, desperately looking for somebody, they're looking
5:00 pm
for somebody object. i'm going over. okay. how did voters in california. because this is going to be crucial. how did they view newsom before what's happened in the past week? >> yeah, i think that's what's so interesting. you were kind of hinting at it, right? erin burnett you were essentially saying, who is newsom? a few weeks ago, the democrats hated him in his own home state, a very blue state. look at his approval rating as of the late may. look at this. it was only 46%, 53% disapprove in a state that kamala harris won by, what, about 20 points? and it wasn't just all likely voters. how about democratic voters? you can see his net approval rating had dropped significantly from the last time he was reelected, at 69 points down to plus 36 points. that's a 33 point drop. he was not all that popular >> next few weeks. when those numbers are updated, see what swing we see. >> we'll see what happens. >> all right, harry, thank you. and thanks to all of you. anderson starts now. >> tonight on 360, the fallout after a u.s. senator with quti
