Hi, it's Lulu. Before we get to today's show, I wanted to fill you in on something new and exciting from New York Times audio, subscriber-only episodes. Some of my favorite shows, and hopefully yours, are now creating extra episodes for subscribers-only. I'm talking about two special episodes a month from The Daily, or a subscriber-only book club episode from

Ezra Klein. You'll even get early access to the next season of cereal. And really, this is

just the start. Keep an eye and ear out for much more from our colleagues in the weeks and months

ahead. It's our way of saying thank you to the people whose support makes our journalism

possible. So how can you get all this extra stuff? You can subscribe to New York Times audio.

It will get you access to all of this new subscriber-only content, plus the full archives of every

single show we make, including ours. And if you're already an eligible New York Times

subscriber, you'll get this automatically as part of your subscription. So whether you're a long-time

subscriber or just about to become one, thank you. And most of all, thank you for listening to

our show. If you want to learn more, you can go to nytimes.com slash podcasts or subscribe directly on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

Now, on to our show.

From the New York Times, this is the interview. I'm Lulu Garcia Navarro.

Back in June, Senator Alex Padilla of California

found himself at the center of a defining moment

in President Trump's second term.

He tried to ask a question at a press conference

given by Secretary of Homeland Security, Christy Knoem,

when he was grabbed, hustled out of the room,

forced to the ground, and handcuffed.

Hands up, hands up.

I'm Senator Alex Padilla.

I have questions for the secretary.
