Ladies and gentlemen, time is running out.
Iran will be capable of producing alone, without importing anything, nuclear bombs within three to five years.
Sir, sir, hands up, hands up.
I'm Senator Alex Padilla.
I have questions for the secretary because the fact of the matter is a half a dozen violent criminals that you're rotating on your hands off.
So last week, when I heard something so blatantly un-American from the Secretary of Homeland Security, a cabinet official, of course I was compelled, both as a senator and as an American, to speak up.
But before I could even get out my question, I was physically and aggressively forced out of the room.
Even as I repeatedly announced I was a United States Senator and I had a question for the Secretary.
And even as the National Guardsman and the FBI agent who served as my escorts and brought me into that press briefing room stood by, silently, knowing full well who I was.
You've seen the video.
I was pushed and pulled, struggled to maintain my balance.
I was forced to the ground.
First on my knees and then flat on my chest.
And as I was handcuffed and marched down a hallway, repeatedly asking, why am I being detained?
Not once did they tell me why.
I pray you never have a moment like this.
But I will tell you, in that moment, a lot of questions came to my mind.
First of all, where are they taking me?
Because I know I'm not just being escorted out of the building.
Am I being arrested here?
