What happens when the GOP tries to rig the rules of democracy—and one senator stands in their way? In this gripping episode of The Dangerous Ones, host Nick Knudsen sits down with U.S. Senator Alex Padilla of California to expose the truth behind the Republican-led SAVE Act, a dangerous bill designed to suppress the vote under the guise of “election integrity.” Padilla, a former California Secretary of State and the first Latino senator from the state, shares how his background as the son of Mexican immigrants shapes his fight for voting rights, democracy, and justice.
Together, they break down what’s really at stake—from Trump’s executive orders and GOP voter roll purges to the federal government deporting immigrants without due process. Padilla pulls no punches as he outlines what Senate Democrats are doing to stop the SAVE Act and why everyday Americans must speak out. It’s a raw, unfiltered conversation about power, resistance, and the real fight to keep democracy alive.
