It's Friday, June 13th.

Ooh.

I'm Jane Koston, and this is What Today?

The show that once again asks for one 24-hour period where nothing weird or horrifying happens.

24 hours.

That is all I ask.

On today's show, the House votes take back billions of dollars earmarked for foreign aid

in public broadcasting.

And despite the president's threats, droves of people are expected to hit the streets

across the country tomorrow for no king's protests.

But let's start with how Congress is reacting to what happened to Senator Padilla for the crime of trying to ask the Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security a question.

There are a lot of moving parts to this story, but here's what we know at the time of our recording Thursday night.

On Thursday, Homeland Security Secretary Kristy Knoam was in Los Angeles in response to protests against immigration and customs enforcement.

Or at least, that's what she was allegedly supposed to be doing. She also went along on an

immigration raid because, of course, she did. During a press conference, however, it appeared that

her aim was to occupy Los Angeles because it has bad politics. We are staying here to

liberate the city from the socialist and the burdensome leadership

that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have

tried to insert into this city.

During this press conference, California Democratic Senator Alex Padilla approached the secretary, identified himself, and attempted to ask a question.

That's when this happened.

I'm Senator Alex Padilla.
