Devin Nunes joins guest host Mark Simone for a wide-ranging conversation that starts with Truth Social and ends with a bet on Americas energy future.
Nunes, now CEO of Trump Media and Technology Group (DJT), revisits the company's origins: building a platform he says was designed to keep voices from being dependent on Big Tech, using proprietary technology and aiming to expand into broader global streaming. From there, he argues the company has reached its initial free speech mission and is now looking for its next major initiative.
That next chapter, Nunes says, is driven by a looming collision between artificial intelligence and electricity. As data centers multiply and AI use accelerates, he warns U.S. power demand is rising fast while America, in his view, is falling behind China, which he says is expanding coal and nuclear capacity as the U.S. leans more heavily on wind and solar. He ties the debate to rising electricity rates, particularly in blue states and blue cities, and frames energy capacity as a decisive factor in an AI race.
The centerpiece of the segment is a newly announced merger involving TAE Technologies, focused on nuclear fusion. Nunes contrasts fusion with traditional nuclear fission, emphasizing fusions promise of abundant power without the same radioactive waste concerns. He credits decades of research accelerated by private funding and multiple prototype generations at TAE for bringing the technology closer to commercial reality, and says the deal was announced the prior week with an expected completion in the first half of 2026.
Simone leans in on the potential: if fusion works at scale, it could transform how cities, industry, and the always-on internet power the next era. Nunes offers specific projections an initial commercial reactor at 50 megawatts, with later units in the 350500-megawatt range and describes a small footprint he says could fit in a 10,000-square-foot warehouse. He notes the prototype is in Orange County, California, but says the first commercial plant will be built in another state.
Listeners also get a direct answer on how everyday investors could gain exposure: Nunes points to Trump Medias public listing under ticker DJT, before the conversation turns back to AIs energy appetite and the politics surrounding climate and power as the segment ends.

The way against Allas and sane you are conscious song
New Sean Hannity Show, More me, I'm the scenes, information
on freaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
Got up next our final news roundup and information overload hour.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Hey, it's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity. Normally you
hear me on w o R in New York, our
big flagship station. Hey with us right now. Devin Noon
is a great guy. What a career he's had, and
you know, for the last few years he's been the
CEO of Trump Media and Technology Group, and right now
you know they're about to merge with THAE Technologies. That's
(01:49):
all about energy, dominance, AI, all sorts of stuff important
for the country and it's a massive merger. And he's
with us right now, Devin, noon, is how you doing, Hey.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Marcus, great to be on with you. Merry Christmas too
and your listeners. And hopefully Sean's out having a great
little time away from the airways.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Yeah he I'm sure he is. Now you what you
do now with this is very complex stuff And like
I'm just reading this the merger Bold experiment for the
next generation of baseload energy through a Meme stock vehicle.
That sounded good, but I don't know what the hell
I just said, what is it?
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Well, the fake news is always going to fake news.
I'll just give you the quick rundown. We had to
start a company several years ago to build truth Social,
not because President Trump needed a new company. In fact,
he didn't need a new company, but we had no
way to get our voices back, so we had to
build True Social. That was a monumental task. We did
(02:49):
it all without big tech We did it with our
own technology, proprietary technology. And now we're open globally and
we stream globally, and we have a very sophisticated team
of soft we're engineers as we Finally, we fought through
the Biden administration to go public. The Trump Media and
Technology Group, the ticker symbols DJT. Biden tried to stop
(03:10):
that company from going public. Finally we won that battle
about a year and a half ago, in the spring
of twenty twenty four of the election year, we went public.
Through that process. We have said that hey, we saw
we won pre speech. We won that battle. We did
what we set out to do, and then as a
public company, we said, what are we going to do next?
(03:31):
It's going to mean a lot to the American people,
mean a lot to the world. And as everybody knows now,
AI is eating up in these data centers, are eating
up more and more energy. Everybody's using more electricity. We
are in a race against China as to who's going
to be AI dominant. And what we have done as
(03:51):
a country, and I fought this when I was in
the back in the Congress. We twenty years ago said well,
we're going to build windmills and solar panels and it's going
to be great. China said, we're going to build coal
fired power plants, and we're going to build nuclear reactors,
and we're going to crush everybody around the world. And
in fact, now China's producing three and a half four
times more energy than we are. They're producing baseload power
(04:15):
that's much cheaper, and we're way behind. So we are
ahead in AI and in data centers that we're behind
and energy production. And as you probably know being there
in New York, the electricity rates, especially in blue in
blue states and blue cities are skyrocketing. The Red States
are still you know, Red states even are still going up.
(04:38):
But anyway, all cut to the Chase mark. The bottom
line is is that we looked around and said, we
want to put ourselves at the forefront of the next
breaking technology. Where's that going to be? Somebody has to
figure out how to crack the code on new nuclear
power technology. And so what TAE Technologies has done is
they've taken the the nuclear fusion process that was discovered
(05:03):
about the same time as the Manhattan Project back during
during World War Two. But we went the rout of
nuclear fission, which has radioactive wastes associated with it. It's
great technology, it's worked, it's provided base load power, you know,
for the United States for a long time. But after
Three Mile Island and then Chernobyl and Fukushima, it kind
of fell out of favor. Well about twenty five thirty
(05:27):
years ago, Chuck Schwab, Stanley Drucke, Miller others said, you
know what, we need to take this science off the
shelf and start studying nuclear fusion, which is which is
more similar to like an MRI machine in terms of
the radiation, so it's very low radioactivity. This company, all
privately funded, went cruising along. They built five prototypes, five
(05:51):
generations of reactors, and now they're ready to build their
first commercial reactor. And that's where we came in. So
we had a big balot sheet, a great team. We're
a publicly traded company under the ticker symbol DJT, and
we merged with them. We announced that merger here last
week and we'll go through the process, but it should
(06:13):
should get done in the first half of twenty twenty six.
But our company, Trump Media Technology Group will now hold
THAE Technologies, which is looking for I say I call
this either the Manhattan Project two point zero, but it
will be the biggest invention since since the first Manhattan Project,
(06:34):
when Admiral Rickover basically figured out that he could power
the Navy and power homes with atomic power. This is
the next big breakthrough and I know it, you know,
and I don't say it lightly as somebody who spent
a lot of time on these issues. This is a
big race. The Chinese are moving fast towards nuclear fusion
(06:55):
and we need to beat them. And our companies put
ourselves right in the middle of that.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
For thumbest thing we ever did in New York was
get rid of our nuclear power. Nuclear power is the
most effective and cleanest power out there. And if it
only argue, will what about the nuclear waste? Well there's
technology now that can take care of that easily. But
so what you're talking about is the future in many
ways for smaller areas, municipalities right at small nuclear fusion facilities.
(07:22):
This is if you're into green energy, if you're in
and people don't realize, I think how much energy is
used up by AI and the Internet and all that.
So we really need this, don't we.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
That's right, And what we're doing This is really breakthrough technology.
A lot of people are talking about those smaller reactors
that you've read a lot about, but this is actually different.
The first commercial reactor is going to be fifty megawatts,
which is not small, but it's on the smaller side.
But that's just to prove out and study the study
and build the technology. But in five, six, seven years
(07:55):
we hope to have the science and the engineering. Right now,
the plans are currently to build them at three hundred
and fifty to five hundred megawatt, which that puts it
right on par with all the other big power plants
that are out there. So this isn't like some small reactor.
These are there. These are small in size but big
in power outlets. So if you and you can go
(08:17):
to tha ta e dot com and you can you
can actually look at all the schematics. You know, sorry
TAE dot com if you want to look at it.
But these basically fit. And there's the prototype that I've seen.
It's in Orange County, California now. But the new one
that will go out to find a state, if it
(08:38):
will not be California, I can assure you that we
will find a state to build this commercial plant in
But you know, you're talking about a very small footprint.
You know, this will fit within a within a ten
thousand square foot warehouse. So it is amazing technology. Granted,
you know it's it has not been done before, but
(09:01):
the science shows that it's there. And the science has
been around for you know, since since World War Two.
It's just we haven't we haven't put the effort to it.
And partially the breakthrough it it just hasn't been the
last you know, tes uh, you know, all the work
they've done to build these prototypes. It also is partially
due to AI itself and the compute power because having
(09:23):
computers that operate so quickly have made it easier to
develop and harness the plasma. So it is a big breakthrough.
This is a big you know, this is a big move.
And like I said, I don't say it lightly that
this is the Manhattan Project two point zero and it
will have that effect when successful.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
And some of the smartest billionaires I know, for you,
a couple of years now, I've been talking about this
as the future and a hell of an investment of
the average person wants to invest in this. How do
they do that?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Well, yeah, we're we're publicly traded so under the ticker
symbol dj T Trump Media and Technology Group.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
All right, excellent idea. Uh, definitely the future. And uh
now just explain to people, especially these green climate change
I don't think they realize a Google search burns a
ton of energy and AI how much energy does that use?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Yeah, you know that's a it's it's a it's a
good point. The all the global warming alarmists are all
heavily invested into all these big tech companies that are
using that are using more and more power. So look,
I don't I don't try to get into uh it's
hard to read the you know what's true and what's not.
(10:37):
But I just I bring it down to this. Number one,
we're using more power, not less. Number two, we're already
paying too much for power. We're not competitive against play
against countries like China. So we need to lower the
costs for the energy we're using today. Now, some people
say we're gonna need in five years, we're gonna need
double the electricity. I have no idea if that's true,
(10:58):
but I just know that we need need better uh
base load power. We're not going to do it with
windmills and solar panels. But we can do it with nuclear,
with nuclear power, especially nuclear fusion. And that's you know,
I've been a big believer that my whole my whole
career when I was in a public servant. But and look,
and I don't. I don't do this mark because I'm
(11:21):
you know, I'm a you know, I want you know,
clean energy. I mean, but yeah, everybody does want clean energy.
I'm not as a guy who used to drive farm
equipment around and deesel motors and everything else, I want
to have you know, as clean as air as possible.
But most importantly to me is can it be done
as cheap or cheaper than what we can produce existing
(11:44):
power today? And the answer is it should be competitive
with natural gas, coal, et cetera. I think it should be.
We estimate, you know, somewhere right around that eight to
ten cents a killowok costs, which is which is right
in line with what what the base power cost is
in most places now, out places like California, now we're
upparts of forty fifty cents or kill a lot. But
(12:04):
that's a whole nother story.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
And other countries. France twenty five percent nuclear powered, but
we're way behind in that area. So this is a
very very important technology. Tell people again where to go
to where to look into this.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Yeah, well you can go to TA dot com or
you can just go to Trump Media and Technology Group
TMTG dot com. But yeah, it's or just go to
truth Social. You can read all about it on true
Social too, if you're if you have a true Social account,
we're putting out all kinds of information that you can
see there.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Yeah. Hey, one more thing. You know, things come and
go in the digital technology Internet age. Things come and go.
But when it comes to truth Social or Twitter, that's it.
That's here to stay, isn't it. It's not going anywhere.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah. We well we've developed you know, unbreakable technology, right,
so it's it's you know, nobody can shut us down.
The reason we stood up and formed as a company
as I started with this was not President Trump didn't
need a new company, I didn't need a new job.
Everybody was perfectly fine. But Twitter, Facebook, YouTube had banned
(13:13):
many of us, including the president United States, but millions
of Americans were banned from social media and either banned
or shadow band. So we stood up this company to
save free speech. Now, you know we've developed streaming of
the products around it, but we had to build it. Remember,
we had to build it without the Googles, without the Amazons,
(13:36):
without the Microsoft. So we had to do this on
our own and build it worldwide. And you know, it
should have never been done. We shouldn't have had to
do this. But as your listeners or Shawn's listeners, well know,
the country has not you know, been operating the way
it should be. It's been a dark chapter of US history,
(13:57):
from you know, the Russia hoax, to the to the
impeachment hoaxes, to January sixth to what happened with all
the people that got banned from the Internet. You know,
the skew that's been done on these on these different
news sites and websites.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
It's it's it's.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Really scary times if you look at it and you
know we're trying to do things, build a foundation, we boom,
we open up the Internet, and now we're trying to
do something to provide cheap, abundant power to everyone in
the United States of America.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Well, it's important stuff. Devin Newns, thanks for the great work.
Give ever the website again to.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Go to yeah, tae dot com or just go to
true Social and you can see follow the feeds there.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Yeah, everybody do that because this is very important stuff. Well,
you've done amazing work, Devin Newns.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Thanks for being with us, Hey, Mark, have a great
Christmas there in New York.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Really appreciate it. Take care. Thanks able to take some
calls in a minute eight hundred nine almost gave out
the w R number. Wait a minute eight hundred nine
four one sean eight hundred nine for one sewn or
it's eight hundred ninety four one seven three two six
eight hundred nine four one seven three two six is
(15:09):
Mark Simone here for Sean on the Sean Hannity Show,
and everyone you meet, Oh the messuitle hung were you
entertaining Americans? Coast and ghosts?
Speaker 5 (15:25):
Sean Hannity is on writing.
Speaker 1 (15:28):
Down all little town of Earth.
Speaker 7 (15:48):
Host.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
We see the o of theentreousleep.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Now listen to that. Frank Sinatra made a lot of
Christmas records.
Speaker 8 (16:05):
Hey.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
By the way, Fox Nation the streaming service as the
Sinatra documentary. It's like two parts. Each one's like an hour.
It's phenomenal. I was going to just watch it for
a couple of minutes. I ended up watching a whole
two hours.
Speaker 8 (16:17):
Linda's looker probably did that. Why you should have been
Christmas shopping, something you have yet to do for anybody.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
So, oh, your present is on the way, is it?
Speaker 8 (16:24):
Indeed you did say earlier you were in it quite
a bit.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Yeah, I'm actually in the sonata.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
So you sat and watched yourself for two hours.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Oh, I'm only in for a minute here and there.
But it's really good. And Linda, you were a singer.
You should be watching this listen.
Speaker 8 (16:39):
I love Frank Sinatra, I love de Morton, I love
all of these people. I think they're wonderful.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
But the story behind the story of Frank Sinatra and
how he maneuvered and manipulated his way to the top
in a good way, he was just outsmarted him.
Speaker 8 (16:52):
There is no good way. The music business is dirty
and corrupt. You have to do that or you don't
get nowhere.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
But he just figured out stuff. He was like the
Steve Jobs of singing. He just figured out stuff nobody
else could. But it's called Sinatra Echoes of an Icon
and it's on Fox Nation. Do you ever watch that
Fox Nation?
Speaker 8 (17:10):
Absolutely, it's the.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Fox streaming service. It's very good and cheap too. I
didn't have a subscription, but if you sign up for
the whole year, it's actually pretty Uh that's.
Speaker 8 (17:20):
What everybody wants to hear. He's cheap.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
No, it's it's cheap compared to Netflix. I mean the
price was much better on Fox Nation.
Speaker 8 (17:26):
Yeah. I canceled my Netflix.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Yeah. No, Netflix is great. They got a million selections.
I never saw one I like canceled. They're terrible. I
like it. They show you twelve thousand choices, not one
that you like, not one. Hey, we'll take some calls. Next,
it's Mark Simone here on The Sean Hannity Show. Don't
go away your sol a merry little Christmas. Let your heart.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Line from no O Troubles, We'll be out.
Speaker 6 (18:17):
Of Hannity uncovers the real truth about the politics of DC.
He's your watch dog, one big brother. Every day Hannity
is on right now.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Two of the greatest voices, Frank Sinatra and Scott Shennan
on The Sean Hannity Show. Mark Simone here, Uh, let's
take some calls. Let's go to who's been Oh, let's
go to he's been hanging on forty eight minutes. Let's
go to Clayton in Texas. Clayton, how you doing?
Speaker 5 (18:52):
Hey, Mark. First of all, I just want to say
Merry Christmas to everyone, and thank you for to everybody
that's in the studio today for sacrificing their time with
friends and family to be here with us.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
On the radio.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
It's Tuesday, it's not Christmas yet, I know, but I
gotta be honest. Not everybody's here. We're missing a few
people today. Linda's here, Ethan's here.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
So what I wanted to say was, I'm currently in
the middle of the Hunter Biden Sean Ryan podcast interview,
and I had to take a break because it's kind
of excruciating, but I happened to turn in.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Let me ask you a serious question. It's a five
and a half hour podcast. You're listening to this Hunter
interview after about an hour. If you don't want to
just shoot yourself, why would you keep listening? You said
you're halfway through. That's two hours. Why would you even
go back to it?
Speaker 5 (19:48):
After about five minutes? I didn't want to listen anymore?
Speaker 4 (19:50):
But why are you're listening?
Speaker 5 (19:53):
I think two things as number one, as conservatives, you know,
we hold the belief that we don't think the opposition
has is bad people with ideas. We think they're people
with bad ideas, and so I think for Sean, to
give him the platform to espouse his ideas, as much
(20:13):
as I might detest or disagree with them, it's good
to listen to them to understand, you know, to try
and understand where the opposition is coming from.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Okay, that takes twelve minutes. Now what are you doing
for the other five hours?
Speaker 5 (20:29):
It's uh. He does a lot of background. He starts
from birth to.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Who wants to hear that.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
It helps you understand, It helps to humanize the individuals
because again, as Conservatives and Christians, I think, you know,
it's important for us to not dehumanize the opposition as
much as we might disagree with them, and sometimes to
test them. We can't dehumanize on Okay, but.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Listen, people are listening to you right now. They're getting
a feel for you. You sound like a nice guy,
you got a little bit of a Texas accent, you
sound like a smart guy. That listen, They've got a
good feel for you. Nobody is saying, you know, I
have to hear him for five and a half more
hours before I can be sure we got a feel
for you in a couple of minutes.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
Well, like I said, it helps me give a better perspective.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Are you a truck driver?
Speaker 5 (21:24):
Know, sir? I'm just on my way to a fellow,
a brother ricon relocate from Colorado back to Texas.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Okay, because if you're a truck drive, maybe you got
five and a half hours, but you shouldn't be listening
to that. You could doze off and go right off
the road. But layon. Great call, Thanks for calling. Take
care now? This who is this? Sean Ryan? What is he?
Where's he from? What does he do? Where do you
come from?
Speaker 8 (21:46):
Is a former Navy seal. He has a show on
YouTube that has a you know, a partner show on
all the other platforms, and he basically sits down with
people and he calls people on their bs. You know,
he's he's in it pretty big right now with Congress
and Dan Crenshaw going back and forth, and he's no nonsense.
You know, He's definitely there to let people know that
(22:08):
you can actually say what you think and it's okay
to stand behind your beliefs.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Okay, but anybody does a five and a half hour podcast.
Speaker 8 (22:14):
It's a little hey, listen, he does long format, no question,
I agree with you, Listen, I have I have very
strong feelings about this interview. I have not seen it,
but I would not give audience to someone who has
the history that he has because there are plenty of
other people on the left that have done far less
that would give me a better opinion of the Democrat Party.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Not this guy.
Speaker 8 (22:38):
This guy is not a Democrat Party, you know, representative.
He's just you know, a president's son who was a
drug addict and a cheater and a liar and an abuser.
I mean, piss off.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Okay, But I do a podcast which is quite successful.
Speaker 8 (22:53):
By the way, exactly right, and I listened to it.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
It's on iHeart. In fact, it's in the top fifty
of iHeart podcasts in America. Wow, And I wouldn't What
kind of ego would I have if I said I'm
gonna do five and a half hours, I would you do? Well?
Speaker 8 (23:09):
I think we Also part of the problem is if
you've ever heard Hunter Biden speak, it's a struggle for him.
It's words are not easy to him.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
So it's you know, okay, but put him on with me,
let me interview and let sean interview. We get it
done in fifteen minutes. Well get everything?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Question?
Speaker 4 (23:24):
Yeah, but these other part I see these other podcasts
with and there has to be some kind of legislation
that not everybody can have a podcast. There has to be.
It's out of control. My dentist has a podcast. Everybody
has a podcast, every housewife. I know if you heed
my podcast. No, I don't want to mention names, but
(23:47):
some of them. What do you mean everybody loves it?
I said, yeah, but you send it to your friends,
they love it. Nah, everybody loves it. Nobody likes it
except your friends. And I shouldn't say any because I well,
I don't know a lot of these people. But the
worst podcast this.
Speaker 8 (24:03):
Could explain why you're alone at Christmas. I'm just saying.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
No, I've met plenty of people at Christmas. But everybody
has a podcast. Now stop it. And what happened to
the podcast was just audio? Now it's video. Uh, it's
all kinds of video is huge. I never why.
Speaker 8 (24:20):
I because people like to see people in their natural habitat,
which most people who are podcasting look more natural than
the people we see on TV.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
They are not in their natural heut.
Speaker 8 (24:30):
I agree, but they used to be that way.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
They took a corner of their house, put some funny
lighting in it, and a bookshelf behind them, and books
they never read, and a microphone this way and that.
Who sits at home with a big microphone in front
of them, it's not a natural house? You do, No,
I don't.
Speaker 8 (24:47):
You don't have any microphones in your home?
Speaker 4 (24:49):
Yes, in one room that's the studio, one room.
Speaker 8 (24:51):
With some bookcases behind it, and maybe some plants and
some special lighting.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Well, but that's different. Well the reason is I'm a
professional broadcaster and I got to go into TV shows
and if you don't have that every single time, you
got to go down to the show and be in
the studio exactly. But if you're a paid professional broadcaster,
that's one thing. But if you're a housewife somewhere or
(25:16):
a real estate agent, don't do a podcast sell homes. Yeah,
I mean, I can't tell you how many times. This
one woman who owns a couple of restaurants, who said
the other day in my podcast, I'm going to start
a second podcast. I said, really, I'm opening two more restaurants.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
What?
Speaker 4 (25:34):
And then they get mad that you're trying to be
in their business.
Speaker 8 (25:36):
So I do agree with you that there are a
lot of people who now do to the ease of
technology are doing things that they maybe shouldn't be doing.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Probably not anyway, Let's take it another call. Let's go
to Rob in Long Island. Rob, how you doing?
Speaker 7 (25:53):
We must you in the morning.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Oh, okay, where are you? Are you anywhere near the phone? Yeah?
But do you on a speakerphone? You're on a speakerphone? Right,
poor Rob?
Speaker 8 (26:07):
Rob has been holding for so long.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
It's the most listened to radio show in America. There's
sixteen million people listening. How many do you need listening
before you'll actually pick up the phone and not use
the speaker.
Speaker 8 (26:18):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (26:18):
You hung up. Let's go to Ron in Wisconsin. Ron,
how you doing?
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Get off the speaker phone? Yes? Ron?
Speaker 4 (26:27):
How do Yeah?
Speaker 3 (26:28):
What's your opinion is is why the president has re
implemented the Smith Month Act, or maybe a Smith Month
Act on steroids to to get rid of some of
the lying and all that stuff that the Left does.
We've got a sister that lives in Kansas City, and
she does not get any of the information that that,
(26:52):
you know, we get about what President Trump is doing.
All she get is the lies.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Well doesn't she have the Internet? Yeah, but she's we
didn't wake you did.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
She doesn't search for it. I mean, it's like it's
got to the point where I won't even call and
talk to her because all we do is get in
an argument.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Well, why do you talk about it? You know, especially
everybody going to a Christmas dinner with the family, Why
do you talk about politics? Why don't you just talk
about other stuff?
Speaker 7 (27:17):
Well?
Speaker 3 (27:18):
I tried, but she always brings it up. Let's just
tell you you don't talk about politics. Yeah, Well that's
why I don't call her anymore. So, all right, the
part of part of the problem, I think the reason
some of the polling that, you know, if if the
polling is valid that president you know a thing like
on affordability and the economy and stuff, is if his
polling is going down, it is because a lot of
(27:39):
the people don't get the information. You know, they don't
if they don't search for it, if they don't have
any information to look for it and do broad broad
spectrum news, they don't get the information. They just they
just hear what what msn NBC puts out.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
And all right, well that's a good point. You're absolutely right, Ron,
thanks for calling. Yeah, it's it's not MSNBC anymore, it's
MS now. Have you watched it lately? They were thrown
out of NBC. Yeah, NBC threw MSNBC out, tossed him
out of the building, ejected them, spun off, the company,
got rid of it, made him take NBC out of
(28:17):
the name. It's now called MS now. If you watch it,
you can really see the difference. You know, when you
used to watch MSNBC, it was the biggest studio, the set,
you know, the wall was like twenty five feet behind
Joe Scarborough. Now you watch it's a small studio. Of
the walls like four feet behind him. And the table
he's the big table, hohold. Now it's a little table.
And they used to whenever news broke, let's cut you
(28:39):
NBC News correspondent London bo. Well now they have no
connection to NBC news. Now they cut to some amateur
in London. It's just awful. It's kind of sad and pathetic.
Speaker 8 (28:50):
How do you even know he's in London? He could
be at his home in a book, you know, bookshelf
right behind him.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
You know, well that is true. It is MS now,
so I wouldn't trust him at all. We go to
Diane in Santa Cruz. Diane, how you doing.
Speaker 7 (29:04):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (29:04):
I'm good, How are you good?
Speaker 7 (29:08):
I wanted to comment on the recent shooting at the university.
Was I believe that our policy of no our gun
free zones has been an abject failure, and I think
that we should arm our teachers and staff and other
(29:30):
people with a non lethal firearms.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
You mean like a burnout the kind of thing.
Speaker 5 (29:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Oh, it's a good idea. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (29:38):
I think that it's our right. It's a constitutional right
to be armed, and it goes to the heart of
our republic.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
All right, good idea, Diane, Thanks for calling.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Now.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Speaking of Brown University, that president should be throwing the
hell out of there and fired for total incompetence. He's
got a security director with no law enforcement experience. He's
got a long resume of being at other colleges in
college security. He was a patrolman and a college police,
but he's no real law enforcement. Also, they did not
(30:12):
have the proper surveillance cameras or equipment.
Speaker 8 (30:15):
That no, no, no, they had it.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
They had two cameras but they took it down. Yeah,
but there are two cameras on the building there. The
president of Brown University's home had thirty cameras around at thirty.
So and she's getting three four million a year. You're
spending how much does it cost to go there? Like
eighty thousand a year?
Speaker 8 (30:34):
Eighty to ninety thousand. In that you see the indoctrinated.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
The one video they had of the guy that was
they didn't have security cameras. That was because some neighbor
had a ring, a doorbell camera or something. That the
only reason they had that video.
Speaker 8 (30:46):
Let me tell you something. They have the video, We're
just never going to see it. There is no way. Yeah,
that school doesn't have that video.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
There is. He got an incompetent president. He got a
security head with no law enforcement experience at all. Anyway, Well,
we've got one more segment to go. It's Mark Simone
here for Sean Handedy. Make sure you follow me on Instagram,
Mark Simone NYC at Instagram, Twitter, Mark Simone n y
(31:15):
at Twitter. Turn it up. That's Frank Sinatra. Oh have
yourself a merry little Christmas. I hate when they bring
in the whole chorus Yours and better with just him happy. Anyway,
back in a moment on the Sean Hannity Show.
Speaker 1 (31:35):
Faithful friends who are dear to us.
Speaker 4 (31:40):
Gather near to us.
Speaker 6 (31:44):
One small old inspired solutions for America.
Speaker 4 (31:51):
This is the Sean Hannity Show. You're a mean one,
mister Grinch. You really are.
Speaker 3 (32:17):
Yours Cudley as a cactus, You're as charming as an elster.
Speaker 2 (32:23):
Yah.
Speaker 4 (32:23):
Finally a good Christmas song here, I go at uh.
Speaker 8 (32:27):
You know, I'd like to dedicate that to you. I
picked it especially for you.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
Look who's talking.
Speaker 8 (32:32):
Oh, I'm ho ho and all the way to Christmas Day.
Unlike some people, you know, these.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
Christmas songs were all recorded in the summer. They record
them in July because that's when you have to get
it ready. And most of them were written in the
summer by songwriting to tell you they were like on
the beach in California, it was eighty five degrees.
Speaker 8 (32:50):
It's always a summer in California.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
Yeah, that's true. And that's another thing about New York.
It's real Christmas here. Look at the window the trees
Rockefeller Center.
Speaker 8 (32:59):
I do agree with that. I like the Northeast.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
It's cold.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
That's Christmas. You people in Florida are trying to put
lights on a palm tree. That's not the same thing,
doesn't work, and these what do you do for Christmas?
You watch It's a Wonderful Life and all.
Speaker 8 (33:12):
I haven't watched it yet, so I'm gonna watch it
for the first time. I think probably today or tomorrow.
I watched White Christmas the other night while I made
cookies for all the kids teachers gifts.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
I did that.
Speaker 4 (33:21):
The movie one of the best Christmas movies. The Bishop's
wife Carrie Grant. Oh, I haven't seen that, one of
the finest Christmas movies.
Speaker 8 (33:28):
I will watch that.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
It's a Wonderful Life. Actually makes no sense at all.
Speaker 8 (33:31):
Why we just had Greg Jared on the other day
and he was telling us all phenomenal.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
Way, oh please, you know they show the town. If
there was no George Bailey, it was much better without him.
I had restaurants, casinos, nightclubs. It was much better without him.
Speaker 8 (33:43):
Spoken from the single man, Well, there's a.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
Lot of good Christmas movies.
Speaker 8 (33:48):
Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn is great.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
That's where the song White Christmas is actually originally about Frosty.
Frosty is good.
Speaker 8 (33:56):
Charlie Brown Christmas.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
There you go.
Speaker 8 (33:58):
Been some of my favorite Vince Giraldi can't go wrong.
Speaker 4 (34:01):
Yeah, so well, we're just about out of time. I
want to have a great Christmas. Oh oh no, I
like that one.
Speaker 5 (34:16):
I was.
Speaker 8 (34:18):
Never heard that song.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
Enjoy it? Why you ken, You're not going to hear
this music a week from now. It's going to all
be gone till next year. Thanks for listening. Take care,
Well, we'll come in your city.
Speaker 2 (00:16):
They are saying you.
Speaker 1 (00:17):
A comfort zell will be higher, a little gel and
if you want a little banging.
Speaker 2 (00:26):
Again, I come along.
Speaker 3 (00:28):
I'm the politicians, the governors and mayors who constantly attack
this man.
Speaker 4 (00:33):
William, please stop, and I'm burying the body else.
Speaker 5 (00:35):
It is clear that they are criminals.
Speaker 3 (00:38):
It is clear that they have killed people. Lower the
price of everything from health carecter a cost to college
to jump fees and airline tickets and credit cards.
Speaker 2 (00:48):
It appears that the people at the highest levels of
responsibility in the government of the state of Minnesota looked
the other way.
Speaker 5 (00:54):
Freedom is back in style.
Speaker 1 (00:57):
Welcome to the revolution, Aware, coming to your SENTI.
Speaker 6 (01:05):
The way against Allas and sane you are conscious song
New Sean Hannity Show, More me, I'm the scenes, information
on freaking news and more bold inspired solutions for America.
Got up next our final news roundup and information overload hour.
Speaker 4 (01:26):
Hey, it's Mark Simone here for Sean Hannity. Normally you
hear me on w o R in New York, our
big flagship station. Hey with us right now. Devin Noon
is a great guy. What a career he's had, and
you know, for the last few years he's been the
CEO of Trump Media and Technology Group, and right now
you know they're about to merge with THAE Technologies. That's
(01:49):
all about energy, dominance, AI, all sorts of stuff important
for the country and it's a massive merger. And he's
with us right now, Devin, noon, is how you doing, Hey.
Speaker 2 (01:59):
Marcus, great to be on with you. Merry Christmas too
and your listeners. And hopefully Sean's out having a great
little time away from the airways.
Speaker 4 (02:08):
Yeah he I'm sure he is. Now you what you
do now with this is very complex stuff And like
I'm just reading this the merger Bold experiment for the
next generation of baseload energy through a Meme stock vehicle.
That sounded good, but I don't know what the hell
I just said, what is it?
Speaker 2 (02:27):
Well, the fake news is always going to fake news.
I'll just give you the quick rundown. We had to
start a company several years ago to build truth Social,
not because President Trump needed a new company. In fact,
he didn't need a new company, but we had no
way to get our voices back, so we had to
build True Social. That was a monumental task. We did
(02:49):
it all without big tech We did it with our
own technology, proprietary technology. And now we're open globally and
we stream globally, and we have a very sophisticated team
of soft we're engineers as we Finally, we fought through
the Biden administration to go public. The Trump Media and
Technology Group, the ticker symbols DJT. Biden tried to stop
(03:10):
that company from going public. Finally we won that battle
about a year and a half ago, in the spring
of twenty twenty four of the election year, we went public.
Through that process. We have said that hey, we saw
we won pre speech. We won that battle. We did
what we set out to do, and then as a
public company, we said, what are we going to do next?
(03:31):
It's going to mean a lot to the American people,
mean a lot to the world. And as everybody knows now,
AI is eating up in these data centers, are eating
up more and more energy. Everybody's using more electricity. We
are in a race against China as to who's going
to be AI dominant. And what we have done as
(03:51):
a country, and I fought this when I was in
the back in the Congress. We twenty years ago said well,
we're going to build windmills and solar panels and it's going
to be great. China said, we're going to build coal
fired power plants, and we're going to build nuclear reactors,
and we're going to crush everybody around the world. And
in fact, now China's producing three and a half four
times more energy than we are. They're producing baseload power
(04:15):
that's much cheaper, and we're way behind. So we are
ahead in AI and in data centers that we're behind
and energy production. And as you probably know being there
in New York, the electricity rates, especially in blue in
blue states and blue cities are skyrocketing. The Red States
are still you know, Red states even are still going up.
(04:38):
But anyway, all cut to the Chase mark. The bottom
line is is that we looked around and said, we
want to put ourselves at the forefront of the next
breaking technology. Where's that going to be? Somebody has to
figure out how to crack the code on new nuclear
power technology. And so what TAE Technologies has done is
they've taken the the nuclear fusion process that was discovered
(05:03):
about the same time as the Manhattan Project back during
during World War Two. But we went the rout of
nuclear fission, which has radioactive wastes associated with it. It's
great technology, it's worked, it's provided base load power, you know,
for the United States for a long time. But after
Three Mile Island and then Chernobyl and Fukushima, it kind
of fell out of favor. Well about twenty five thirty
(05:27):
years ago, Chuck Schwab, Stanley Drucke, Miller others said, you
know what, we need to take this science off the
shelf and start studying nuclear fusion, which is which is
more similar to like an MRI machine in terms of
the radiation, so it's very low radioactivity. This company, all
privately funded, went cruising along. They built five prototypes, five
(05:51):
generations of reactors, and now they're ready to build their
first commercial reactor. And that's where we came in. So
we had a big balot sheet, a great team. We're
a publicly traded company under the ticker symbol DJT, and
we merged with them. We announced that merger here last
week and we'll go through the process, but it should
(06:13):
should get done in the first half of twenty twenty six.
But our company, Trump Media Technology Group will now hold
THAE Technologies, which is looking for I say I call
this either the Manhattan Project two point zero, but it
will be the biggest invention since since the first Manhattan Project,
(06:34):
when Admiral Rickover basically figured out that he could power
the Navy and power homes with atomic power. This is
the next big breakthrough and I know it, you know,
and I don't say it lightly as somebody who spent
a lot of time on these issues. This is a
big race. The Chinese are moving fast towards nuclear fusion
(06:55):
and we need to beat them. And our companies put
ourselves right in the middle of that.
Speaker 4 (06:59):
For thumbest thing we ever did in New York was
get rid of our nuclear power. Nuclear power is the
most effective and cleanest power out there. And if it
only argue, will what about the nuclear waste? Well there's
technology now that can take care of that easily. But
so what you're talking about is the future in many
ways for smaller areas, municipalities right at small nuclear fusion facilities.
(07:22):
This is if you're into green energy, if you're in
and people don't realize, I think how much energy is
used up by AI and the Internet and all that.
So we really need this, don't we.
Speaker 2 (07:34):
That's right, And what we're doing This is really breakthrough technology.
A lot of people are talking about those smaller reactors
that you've read a lot about, but this is actually different.
The first commercial reactor is going to be fifty megawatts,
which is not small, but it's on the smaller side.
But that's just to prove out and study the study
and build the technology. But in five, six, seven years
(07:55):
we hope to have the science and the engineering. Right now,
the plans are currently to build them at three hundred
and fifty to five hundred megawatt, which that puts it
right on par with all the other big power plants
that are out there. So this isn't like some small reactor.
These are there. These are small in size but big
in power outlets. So if you and you can go
(08:17):
to tha ta e dot com and you can you
can actually look at all the schematics. You know, sorry
TAE dot com if you want to look at it.
But these basically fit. And there's the prototype that I've seen.
It's in Orange County, California now. But the new one
that will go out to find a state, if it
(08:38):
will not be California, I can assure you that we
will find a state to build this commercial plant in
But you know, you're talking about a very small footprint.
You know, this will fit within a within a ten
thousand square foot warehouse. So it is amazing technology. Granted,
you know it's it has not been done before, but
(09:01):
the science shows that it's there. And the science has
been around for you know, since since World War Two.
It's just we haven't we haven't put the effort to it.
And partially the breakthrough it it just hasn't been the
last you know, tes uh, you know, all the work
they've done to build these prototypes. It also is partially
due to AI itself and the compute power because having
(09:23):
computers that operate so quickly have made it easier to
develop and harness the plasma. So it is a big breakthrough.
This is a big you know, this is a big move.
And like I said, I don't say it lightly that
this is the Manhattan Project two point zero and it
will have that effect when successful.
Speaker 4 (09:43):
And some of the smartest billionaires I know, for you,
a couple of years now, I've been talking about this
as the future and a hell of an investment of
the average person wants to invest in this. How do
they do that?
Speaker 2 (09:54):
Well, yeah, we're we're publicly traded so under the ticker
symbol dj T Trump Media and Technology Group.
Speaker 4 (10:00):
All right, excellent idea. Uh, definitely the future. And uh
now just explain to people, especially these green climate change
I don't think they realize a Google search burns a
ton of energy and AI how much energy does that use?
Speaker 2 (10:16):
Yeah, you know that's a it's it's a it's a
good point. The all the global warming alarmists are all
heavily invested into all these big tech companies that are
using that are using more and more power. So look,
I don't I don't try to get into uh it's
hard to read the you know what's true and what's not.
(10:37):
But I just I bring it down to this. Number one,
we're using more power, not less. Number two, we're already
paying too much for power. We're not competitive against play
against countries like China. So we need to lower the
costs for the energy we're using today. Now, some people
say we're gonna need in five years, we're gonna need
double the electricity. I have no idea if that's true,
(10:58):
but I just know that we need need better uh
base load power. We're not going to do it with
windmills and solar panels. But we can do it with nuclear,
with nuclear power, especially nuclear fusion. And that's you know,
I've been a big believer that my whole my whole
career when I was in a public servant. But and look,
and I don't. I don't do this mark because I'm
(11:21):
you know, I'm a you know, I want you know,
clean energy. I mean, but yeah, everybody does want clean energy.
I'm not as a guy who used to drive farm
equipment around and deesel motors and everything else, I want
to have you know, as clean as air as possible.
But most importantly to me is can it be done
as cheap or cheaper than what we can produce existing
(11:44):
power today? And the answer is it should be competitive
with natural gas, coal, et cetera. I think it should be.
We estimate, you know, somewhere right around that eight to
ten cents a killowok costs, which is which is right
in line with what what the base power cost is
in most places now, out places like California, now we're
upparts of forty fifty cents or kill a lot. But
(12:04):
that's a whole nother story.
Speaker 4 (12:06):
And other countries. France twenty five percent nuclear powered, but
we're way behind in that area. So this is a
very very important technology. Tell people again where to go
to where to look into this.
Speaker 2 (12:18):
Yeah, well you can go to TA dot com or
you can just go to Trump Media and Technology Group
TMTG dot com. But yeah, it's or just go to
truth Social. You can read all about it on true
Social too, if you're if you have a true Social account,
we're putting out all kinds of information that you can
see there.
Speaker 4 (12:38):
Yeah. Hey, one more thing. You know, things come and
go in the digital technology Internet age. Things come and go.
But when it comes to truth Social or Twitter, that's it.
That's here to stay, isn't it. It's not going anywhere.
Speaker 2 (12:51):
Yeah. We well we've developed you know, unbreakable technology, right,
so it's it's you know, nobody can shut us down.
The reason we stood up and formed as a company
as I started with this was not President Trump didn't
need a new company, I didn't need a new job.
Everybody was perfectly fine. But Twitter, Facebook, YouTube had banned
(13:13):
many of us, including the president United States, but millions
of Americans were banned from social media and either banned
or shadow band. So we stood up this company to
save free speech. Now, you know we've developed streaming of
the products around it, but we had to build it. Remember,
we had to build it without the Googles, without the Amazons,
(13:36):
without the Microsoft. So we had to do this on
our own and build it worldwide. And you know, it
should have never been done. We shouldn't have had to
do this. But as your listeners or Shawn's listeners, well know,
the country has not you know, been operating the way
it should be. It's been a dark chapter of US history,
(13:57):
from you know, the Russia hoax, to the to the
impeachment hoaxes, to January sixth to what happened with all
the people that got banned from the Internet. You know,
the skew that's been done on these on these different
news sites and websites.
Speaker 4 (14:13):
It's it's it's.
Speaker 2 (14:15):
Really scary times if you look at it and you
know we're trying to do things, build a foundation, we boom,
we open up the Internet, and now we're trying to
do something to provide cheap, abundant power to everyone in
the United States of America.
Speaker 4 (14:28):
Well, it's important stuff. Devin Newns, thanks for the great work.
Give ever the website again to.
Speaker 2 (14:32):
Go to yeah, tae dot com or just go to
true Social and you can see follow the feeds there.
Speaker 4 (14:39):
Yeah, everybody do that because this is very important stuff. Well,
you've done amazing work, Devin Newns.
Speaker 3 (14:45):
Thanks for being with us, Hey, Mark, have a great
Christmas there in New York.
Speaker 4 (14:48):
Really appreciate it. Take care. Thanks able to take some

Speaker 1 (15:49):
We see the o of theentreousleep.
Speaker 4 (16:00):
Now listen to that. Frank Sinatra made a lot of
Christmas records.
Speaker 8 (16:05):
Hey.
Speaker 4 (16:05):
By the way, Fox Nation the streaming service as the
Sinatra documentary. It's like two parts. Each one's like an hour.
It's phenomenal. I was going to just watch it for
a couple of minutes. I ended up watching a whole
two hours.
Speaker 8 (16:17):
Linda's looker probably did that. Why you should have been
Christmas shopping, something you have yet to do for anybody.
Speaker 4 (16:22):
So, oh, your present is on the way, is it?
Speaker 8 (16:24):
Indeed you did say earlier you were in it quite
a bit.
Speaker 4 (16:28):
Yeah, I'm actually in the sonata.
Speaker 3 (16:29):
So you sat and watched yourself for two hours.
Speaker 4 (16:31):
Oh, I'm only in for a minute here and there.
But it's really good. And Linda, you were a singer.
You should be watching this listen.
Speaker 8 (16:39):
I love Frank Sinatra, I love de Morton, I love
all of these people. I think they're wonderful.
Speaker 4 (16:45):
But the story behind the story of Frank Sinatra and
how he maneuvered and manipulated his way to the top
in a good way, he was just outsmarted him.
Speaker 8 (16:52):
There is no good way. The music business is dirty
and corrupt. You have to do that or you don't
get nowhere.
Speaker 4 (16:57):
But he just figured out stuff. He was like the
Steve Jobs of singing. He just figured out stuff nobody
else could. But it's called Sinatra Echoes of an Icon
and it's on Fox Nation. Do you ever watch that
Fox Nation?
Speaker 8 (17:10):
Absolutely, it's the.
Speaker 4 (17:11):
Fox streaming service. It's very good and cheap too. I
didn't have a subscription, but if you sign up for
the whole year, it's actually pretty Uh that's.
Speaker 8 (17:20):
What everybody wants to hear. He's cheap.
Speaker 4 (17:22):
No, it's it's cheap compared to Netflix. I mean the
price was much better on Fox Nation.
Speaker 8 (17:26):
Yeah. I canceled my Netflix.
Speaker 4 (17:28):
Yeah. No, Netflix is great. They got a million selections.
I never saw one I like canceled. They're terrible. I
like it. They show you twelve thousand choices, not one
that you like, not one. Hey, we'll take some calls. Next,
it's Mark Simone here on The Sean Hannity Show. Don't
go away your sol a merry little Christmas. Let your heart.
Speaker 1 (18:08):
Line from no O Troubles, We'll be out.
Speaker 6 (18:17):
Of Hannity uncovers the real truth about the politics of DC.
He's your watch dog, one big brother. Every day Hannity
is on right now.
Speaker 2 (18:33):
There you go.
Speaker 4 (18:34):
Two of the greatest voices, Frank Sinatra and Scott Shennan
on The Sean Hannity Show. Mark Simone here, Uh, let's
take some calls. Let's go to who's been Oh, let's
go to he's been hanging on forty eight minutes. Let's
go to Clayton in Texas. Clayton, how you doing?
Speaker 5 (18:52):
Hey, Mark. First of all, I just want to say
Merry Christmas to everyone, and thank you for to everybody
that's in the studio today for sacrificing their time with
friends and family to be here with us.
Speaker 2 (19:05):
On the radio.
Speaker 4 (19:06):
It's Tuesday, it's not Christmas yet, I know, but I
gotta be honest. Not everybody's here. We're missing a few
people today. Linda's here, Ethan's here.
Speaker 5 (19:16):
So what I wanted to say was, I'm currently in
the middle of the Hunter Biden Sean Ryan podcast interview,
and I had to take a break because it's kind
of excruciating, but I happened to turn in.
Speaker 4 (19:32):
Let me ask you a serious question. It's a five
and a half hour podcast. You're listening to this Hunter
interview after about an hour. If you don't want to
just shoot yourself, why would you keep listening? You said
you're halfway through. That's two hours. Why would you even
go back to it?
Speaker 5 (19:48):
After about five minutes? I didn't want to listen anymore?
Speaker 4 (19:50):
But why are you're listening?
Speaker 5 (19:53):
I think two things as number one, as conservatives, you know,
we hold the belief that we don't think the opposition
has is bad people with ideas. We think they're people
with bad ideas, and so I think for Sean, to
give him the platform to espouse his ideas, as much
(20:13):
as I might detest or disagree with them, it's good
to listen to them to understand, you know, to try
and understand where the opposition is coming from.
Speaker 4 (20:24):
Okay, that takes twelve minutes. Now what are you doing
for the other five hours?
Speaker 5 (20:29):
It's uh. He does a lot of background. He starts
from birth to.
Speaker 4 (20:36):
Who wants to hear that.
Speaker 5 (20:39):
It helps you understand, It helps to humanize the individuals
because again, as Conservatives and Christians, I think, you know,
it's important for us to not dehumanize the opposition as
much as we might disagree with them, and sometimes to
test them. We can't dehumanize on Okay, but.
Speaker 4 (20:59):
Listen, people are listening to you right now. They're getting
a feel for you. You sound like a nice guy,
you got a little bit of a Texas accent, you
sound like a smart guy. That listen, They've got a
good feel for you. Nobody is saying, you know, I
have to hear him for five and a half more
hours before I can be sure we got a feel
for you in a couple of minutes.
Speaker 5 (21:17):
Well, like I said, it helps me give a better perspective.
Speaker 4 (21:22):
Are you a truck driver?
Speaker 5 (21:24):
Know, sir? I'm just on my way to a fellow,
a brother ricon relocate from Colorado back to Texas.
Speaker 4 (21:32):
Okay, because if you're a truck drive, maybe you got
five and a half hours, but you shouldn't be listening
to that. You could doze off and go right off
the road. But layon. Great call, Thanks for calling. Take
care now? This who is this? Sean Ryan? What is he?
Where's he from? What does he do? Where do you
come from?
Speaker 8 (21:46):
Is a former Navy seal. He has a show on
YouTube that has a you know, a partner show on
all the other platforms, and he basically sits down with
people and he calls people on their bs. You know,
he's he's in it pretty big right now with Congress
and Dan Crenshaw going back and forth, and he's no nonsense.
You know, He's definitely there to let people know that
(22:08):
you can actually say what you think and it's okay
to stand behind your beliefs.
Speaker 4 (22:11):
Okay, but anybody does a five and a half hour podcast.
Speaker 8 (22:14):
It's a little hey, listen, he does long format, no question,
I agree with you, Listen, I have I have very
strong feelings about this interview. I have not seen it,
but I would not give audience to someone who has
the history that he has because there are plenty of
other people on the left that have done far less
that would give me a better opinion of the Democrat Party.
Speaker 4 (22:37):
Not this guy.
Speaker 8 (22:38):
This guy is not a Democrat Party, you know, representative.
He's just you know, a president's son who was a
drug addict and a cheater and a liar and an abuser.
I mean, piss off.
Speaker 4 (22:50):
Okay, But I do a podcast which is quite successful.
Speaker 8 (22:53):
By the way, exactly right, and I listened to it.
Speaker 4 (22:55):
It's on iHeart. In fact, it's in the top fifty
of iHeart podcasts in America. Wow, And I wouldn't What
kind of ego would I have if I said I'm
gonna do five and a half hours, I would you do? Well?
Speaker 8 (23:09):
I think we Also part of the problem is if
you've ever heard Hunter Biden speak, it's a struggle for him.
It's words are not easy to him.
Speaker 4 (23:17):
So it's you know, okay, but put him on with me,
let me interview and let sean interview. We get it
done in fifteen minutes. Well get everything?
Speaker 1 (23:23):
Question?
Speaker 4 (23:24):
Yeah, but these other part I see these other podcasts
with and there has to be some kind of legislation
that not everybody can have a podcast. There has to be.
It's out of control. My dentist has a podcast. Everybody
has a podcast, every housewife. I know if you heed
my podcast. No, I don't want to mention names, but
(23:47):
some of them. What do you mean everybody loves it?
I said, yeah, but you send it to your friends,
they love it. Nah, everybody loves it. Nobody likes it
except your friends. And I shouldn't say any because I well,
I don't know a lot of these people. But the
worst podcast this.
Speaker 8 (24:03):
Could explain why you're alone at Christmas. I'm just saying.
Speaker 4 (24:05):
No, I've met plenty of people at Christmas. But everybody
has a podcast. Now stop it. And what happened to
the podcast was just audio? Now it's video. Uh, it's
all kinds of video is huge. I never why.
Speaker 8 (24:20):
I because people like to see people in their natural habitat,
which most people who are podcasting look more natural than
the people we see on TV.
Speaker 4 (24:29):
They are not in their natural heut.
Speaker 8 (24:30):
I agree, but they used to be that way.
Speaker 4 (24:33):
They took a corner of their house, put some funny
lighting in it, and a bookshelf behind them, and books
they never read, and a microphone this way and that.
Who sits at home with a big microphone in front
of them, it's not a natural house? You do, No,
I don't.
Speaker 8 (24:47):
You don't have any microphones in your home?
Speaker 4 (24:49):
Yes, in one room that's the studio, one room.
Speaker 8 (24:51):
With some bookcases behind it, and maybe some plants and
some special lighting.
Speaker 4 (24:56):
Well, but that's different. Well the reason is I'm a
professional broadcaster and I got to go into TV shows
and if you don't have that every single time, you
got to go down to the show and be in
the studio exactly. But if you're a paid professional broadcaster,
that's one thing. But if you're a housewife somewhere or
(25:16):
a real estate agent, don't do a podcast sell homes. Yeah,
I mean, I can't tell you how many times. This
one woman who owns a couple of restaurants, who said
the other day in my podcast, I'm going to start
a second podcast. I said, really, I'm opening two more restaurants.
Speaker 2 (25:33):
What?
Speaker 4 (25:34):
And then they get mad that you're trying to be
in their business.
Speaker 8 (25:36):
So I do agree with you that there are a
lot of people who now do to the ease of
technology are doing things that they maybe shouldn't be doing.
Speaker 4 (25:45):
Probably not anyway, Let's take it another call. Let's go
to Rob in Long Island. Rob, how you doing?
Speaker 7 (25:53):
We must you in the morning.
Speaker 4 (25:55):
Oh, okay, where are you? Are you anywhere near the phone? Yeah?
But do you on a speakerphone? You're on a speakerphone? Right,
poor Rob?
Speaker 8 (26:07):
Rob has been holding for so long.
Speaker 4 (26:09):
It's the most listened to radio show in America. There's
sixteen million people listening. How many do you need listening
before you'll actually pick up the phone and not use
the speaker.
Speaker 8 (26:18):
Oh?
Speaker 4 (26:18):
You hung up. Let's go to Ron in Wisconsin. Ron,
how you doing?
Speaker 3 (26:24):
Get off the speaker phone? Yes? Ron?
Speaker 4 (26:27):
How do Yeah?
Speaker 3 (26:28):
What's your opinion is is why the president has re
implemented the Smith Month Act, or maybe a Smith Month
Act on steroids to to get rid of some of
the lying and all that stuff that the Left does.
We've got a sister that lives in Kansas City, and
she does not get any of the information that that,
(26:52):
you know, we get about what President Trump is doing.
All she get is the lies.
Speaker 4 (26:57):
Well doesn't she have the Internet? Yeah, but she's we
didn't wake you did.
Speaker 3 (27:02):
She doesn't search for it. I mean, it's like it's
got to the point where I won't even call and
talk to her because all we do is get in
an argument.
Speaker 4 (27:10):
Well, why do you talk about it? You know, especially
everybody going to a Christmas dinner with the family, Why
do you talk about politics? Why don't you just talk
about other stuff?
Speaker 7 (27:17):
Well?
Speaker 3 (27:18):
I tried, but she always brings it up. Let's just
tell you you don't talk about politics. Yeah, Well that's
why I don't call her anymore. So, all right, the
part of part of the problem, I think the reason
some of the polling that, you know, if if the
polling is valid that president you know a thing like
on affordability and the economy and stuff, is if his
polling is going down, it is because a lot of
(27:39):
the people don't get the information. You know, they don't
if they don't search for it, if they don't have
any information to look for it and do broad broad
spectrum news, they don't get the information. They just they
just hear what what msn NBC puts out.
Speaker 4 (27:57):
And all right, well that's a good point. You're absolutely right, Ron,
thanks for calling. Yeah, it's it's not MSNBC anymore, it's
MS now. Have you watched it lately? They were thrown
out of NBC. Yeah, NBC threw MSNBC out, tossed him
out of the building, ejected them, spun off, the company,
got rid of it, made him take NBC out of
(28:17):
the name. It's now called MS now. If you watch it,
you can really see the difference. You know, when you
used to watch MSNBC, it was the biggest studio, the set,
you know, the wall was like twenty five feet behind
Joe Scarborough. Now you watch it's a small studio. Of
the walls like four feet behind him. And the table
he's the big table, hohold. Now it's a little table.
And they used to whenever news broke, let's cut you
(28:39):
NBC News correspondent London bo. Well now they have no
connection to NBC news. Now they cut to some amateur
in London. It's just awful. It's kind of sad and pathetic.
Speaker 8 (28:50):
How do you even know he's in London? He could
be at his home in a book, you know, bookshelf
right behind him.
Speaker 4 (28:54):
You know, well that is true. It is MS now,
so I wouldn't trust him at all. We go to
Diane in Santa Cruz. Diane, how you doing.
Speaker 7 (29:04):
Hi?
Speaker 3 (29:04):
I'm good, How are you good?
Speaker 7 (29:08):
I wanted to comment on the recent shooting at the university.
Was I believe that our policy of no our gun
free zones has been an abject failure, and I think
that we should arm our teachers and staff and other
(29:30):
people with a non lethal firearms.
Speaker 4 (29:32):
You mean like a burnout the kind of thing.
Speaker 5 (29:35):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (29:35):
Oh, it's a good idea. Yeah.
Speaker 7 (29:38):
I think that it's our right. It's a constitutional right
to be armed, and it goes to the heart of
our republic.
Speaker 4 (29:49):
All right, good idea, Diane, Thanks for calling.
Speaker 2 (29:51):
Now.
Speaker 4 (29:51):
Speaking of Brown University, that president should be throwing the
hell out of there and fired for total incompetence. He's
got a security director with no law enforcement experience. He's
got a long resume of being at other colleges in
college security. He was a patrolman and a college police,
but he's no real law enforcement. Also, they did not
(30:12):
have the proper surveillance cameras or equipment.
Speaker 8 (30:15):
That no, no, no, they had it.
Speaker 4 (30:17):
They had two cameras but they took it down. Yeah,
but there are two cameras on the building there. The
president of Brown University's home had thirty cameras around at thirty.
So and she's getting three four million a year. You're
spending how much does it cost to go there? Like
eighty thousand a year?
Speaker 8 (30:34):
Eighty to ninety thousand. In that you see the indoctrinated.
Speaker 4 (30:37):
The one video they had of the guy that was
they didn't have security cameras. That was because some neighbor
had a ring, a doorbell camera or something. That the
only reason they had that video.
Speaker 8 (30:46):
Let me tell you something. They have the video, We're
just never going to see it. There is no way. Yeah,
that school doesn't have that video.
Speaker 4 (30:53):
There is. He got an incompetent president. He got a
security head with no law enforcement experience at all. Anyway, Well,
we've got one more segment to go. It's Mark Simone
here for Sean Handedy. Make sure you follow me on Instagram,
Mark Simone NYC at Instagram, Twitter, Mark Simone n y
(31:15):

Speaker 2 (32:23):

Speaker 4 (32:23):
Finally a good Christmas song here, I go at uh.
Speaker 8 (32:27):
You know, I'd like to dedicate that to you. I
picked it especially for you.
Speaker 4 (32:30):
Look who's talking.
Speaker 8 (32:32):
Oh, I'm ho ho and all the way to Christmas Day.
Unlike some people, you know, these.
Speaker 4 (32:36):
Christmas songs were all recorded in the summer. They record
them in July because that's when you have to get
it ready. And most of them were written in the
summer by songwriting to tell you they were like on
the beach in California, it was eighty five degrees.
Speaker 8 (32:50):
It's always a summer in California.
Speaker 4 (32:52):
Yeah, that's true. And that's another thing about New York.
It's real Christmas here. Look at the window the trees
Rockefeller Center.
Speaker 8 (32:59):
I do agree with that. I like the Northeast.
Speaker 2 (33:01):
It's cold.
Speaker 4 (33:02):
That's Christmas. You people in Florida are trying to put
lights on a palm tree. That's not the same thing,
doesn't work, and these what do you do for Christmas?
You watch It's a Wonderful Life and all.
Speaker 8 (33:12):
I haven't watched it yet, so I'm gonna watch it
for the first time. I think probably today or tomorrow.
I watched White Christmas the other night while I made
cookies for all the kids teachers gifts.
Speaker 2 (33:21):
I did that.
Speaker 4 (33:21):
The movie one of the best Christmas movies. The Bishop's
wife Carrie Grant. Oh, I haven't seen that, one of
the finest Christmas movies.
Speaker 8 (33:28):
I will watch that.
Speaker 4 (33:28):
It's a Wonderful Life. Actually makes no sense at all.
Speaker 8 (33:31):
Why we just had Greg Jared on the other day
and he was telling us all phenomenal.
Speaker 4 (33:35):
Way, oh please, you know they show the town. If
there was no George Bailey, it was much better without him.
I had restaurants, casinos, nightclubs. It was much better without him.
Speaker 8 (33:43):
Spoken from the single man, Well, there's a.
Speaker 4 (33:47):
Lot of good Christmas movies.
Speaker 8 (33:48):
Holiday Inn, Holiday Inn is great.
Speaker 4 (33:51):
That's where the song White Christmas is actually originally about Frosty.
Frosty is good.
Speaker 8 (33:56):
Charlie Brown Christmas.
Speaker 4 (33:57):
There you go.
Speaker 8 (33:58):
Been some of my favorite Vince Giraldi can't go wrong.
Speaker 4 (34:01):
Yeah, so well, we're just about out of time. I
want to have a great Christmas. Oh oh no, I
like that one.
Speaker 5 (34:16):
I was.
Speaker 8 (34:18):
Never heard that song.
Speaker 4 (34:19):
Enjoy it? Why you ken, You're not going to hear
this music a week from now. It's going to all
be gone till next year. Thanks for listening. Take care,
