Sen. Alex Padilla (D-CA) puts on an Oscar-worthy performance, befitting his constituents in Hollywood, in crashing a press conference held by DHS Secretary Kristi Noem under the pretense of wanting to 'ask a question.'

Ryan unearths the rare audio from that iconic moment as Dan reveals he hadn't seen or heard it since the night it happened.
