Can you give some examples of what you've done in that section?

Well, what we've done too, when you look at rail cars and you look at the venting that was taking place in East Palestine, I mean, in the end, a decision was made.

Whether the cars are 105 and maybe your viewers understand the 111s, now they're going to the 117s.

Having cars that are better with transporting hazardous material, making sure that these tank cars are, if there is a derailment, that if there is a penetration, we don't want anything to blow up.

And what can be frustrating about this is when you look at the NTSB report in East Palestine, when those cars, they were doing its job.

Those cars, those tanker cars were venting.

I mean, they were doing exactly what they wanted.

Is that kind of what this is?

And when Trump takes out a regime like this, again, he's thinking long-term down the road, not just how does this affect the Middle East, this hits two of our biggest

foes, right? That's correct, because we know where their oil is going.

Obviously, China gets a lot of it.

So, again, I believe that the president was very deliberate with this.

The intelligence was there.

Obviously, when you have a regime that is focused on destroying, won't even acknowledge Israel as a state.

They want to just wipe Israel off the face of the earth.

Brennan, like I said, it looks like Texas voters anyway wanted out with the old guard and in with some new MAGA.

how can they be devising a strategy for political violence and not applying it to the political violence at the

time? There was a double standard with that DOJ under Christopher Wray and Garland, and they turned that into, you know, they weaponized it.

We've talked about this for so many years, that they weaponized those agencies to go after people with a dissenting point of view, and they did.

Thank goodness Donald Trump went in there and pardoned them.

Thank goodness he went in there.

But you know what? Even with that pardon, families were destroyed, John.

Lots of families, lots of money.

Do you fear that there was a Capitol Police Democratic version of this?

Troy, I don't think former officer Fanone likes you very much.

Nah, he doesn't.

And quite honestly, I don't care.

I don't care if he doesn't like me, but he's been out there just, he obviously, even during his initial testimony, you know, those four officers, I want to thank them for their service to their communities and their state and everything they've done.

But after this January 6th stuff, obviously they have been coached.

They have been prepped by the left.

They do not like Donald Trump.

I was amazed that some Democrats sided with y'all, but did I see on that vote, did some Republicans not side with you guys on that vote?

Do you think they purposely just looked the other way?

Well, it seemed like somebody did, because if, unless it was just totally incompetence over there under the FBI with Christopher Wray, but w- we didn't gather any other evidence.

The FBI under Kash Patel didn't go out there and, and get other evidence.

They just looked at the evidence they had with the case reports they had and made an arrest that way.

They actually, it was good, you know, detective work, uh, and, and, and made the arrest.

So no, I, I think there was somebody, obviously, that didn't wanna move too much on this pipe bomber fella, this Mr. Cole, because he didn't fit the profile, Joe.

Yes.

And, you know, when you have these hearings and you start exposing the January 6th sham committee and, and letting the American people hear truth really for the first time, we had our hearing, our first one last week, uh, this new select committee that's all about gathering information and truthful information to share with the American people, but it's five years later.

How is Congress different than you expected it? And what about Congress would surprise the average American taxpayer who watches the news? What would surprise folks?

I would probably say some of the biggest challenges up here.

It is so hard to really get anything done, even things that.

You would think we should be so simple, especially, you know, when we have a, a unified government, so to speak, we got the house, we have the Senate and we have the white house.

I'm up here in DC now.

And I brought my wife with me because Michael, I got my first bill through Congress.

My first bill that the president will be signing at 4 PM tonight.

Congressman Troy Nels, why do you think people like Nancy Pelosi went to Washington, D.C. and never left?

And you were off to smoke too.

There's a lot of issues going on up here, this and that, but it was one big beautiful bill.

Now, I have...

I manage my expectations up here.

You're not going to get 100% of everything, and if you think you are, you, you, you're in Lulu Land.

You got to, I mean, manage your expectations.

I like the majority of the bill.

That's insane.

Are they going to stop? It's going to be four years of the left in this country and the far left Marxist progressives trying to change this land and just start trouble anywhere they can.

Well, what you're seeing, the ICE agents, I think, number one, they're federal agents, so they should all be charged with federal crimes if you go after a federal agent.

But this really all goes back to George Floyd with what you've seen in 2020 with the rioting that took place in Minneapolis and everywhere across the country, in Washington, D.C.

I mean, all the major cities seem to have a lot of destruction.

over George Floyd.

And I think they're very well organized.

I mean, you got to give it to them.

Our brains would fall out of our ears if we tried to understand where they're coming from, no? No.

Am I right or am I wrong in reading the Constitution?

I think you're absolutely correct.

And what we have seen, even before Trump was inaugurated on the 20th, obviously these rogue judges are out there just causing problems for Donald Trump and the America First agenda.

But we expected this to take place, didn't we? I mean, this is no surprise.

I mean, this current, this Monday, the judge on Monday, Whitehead, Jamal, Jameel, Jamal Whitehead, obviously talking about these 12,000 refugees, allowing them inside our country, is ridiculous.

Kristi Noem did a great job explaining to the Senate Appropriations Committee the great work that is being done by this administration for keeping the American people safe.

She laid it out there.

Stop the president, stop this.

And again, how many days are we in? I mean, he is undoing four years of hell and he's doing it fast.

Absolutely.

Dan, it's good to be with you.

Breaking news.

You heard it here on Dan Ball First.

The CR in the Senate has passed.

Chuck Schumer couldn't.

This is going to take a while, but it seems like Kristi Noem and Tom Homan are doing their best to try and lock it down and kick everybody's ass out that doesn't belong here.

Are you feeling the Trump effect in that swamp hole?

I believe so.

You saw it with the speakers race.

You know, we had three.

You couldn't lose.

You could only lose one.

We had three individuals that chose someone else other than Mike Johnson and two of the individuals within 15 minutes.

What do you see moving forward this week? Are we going to have a hard time? Because I keep hearing that Tulsi and Cash and RFK actually might even have a harder time than Pete.
