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.

Mark Simone jumps in for Sean Hannity during Hannity's Christmas break and admits its jarring to stumble back into work mode mid-vacation. With Linda, he kicks off the hour with light, holiday-week banter about studio routines, lunch orders, the clock on the show, and the fact that Christmas Eve is just a night away.

Then Simone pivots to his case that Christmas week hasn't slowed the news cycle or New York City. Pushing back on the familiar NYC is dying narrative, he argues the city feels packed: a booming tourist crush, scarce hotel rooms, strong rental demand, and active apartment closings. In his telling, the streets are crowded and the market signals don't match the doom talk.

From there, the conversation moves to city politics and public safety. Simone warns that a new New York administration could look a lot like the de Blasio era, pointing to staffing he says overlaps with that previous team. But he suggests the equation changes with Donald Trump in the White House, arguing federal enforcement could be used to bypass what he describes as an overly lenient local system. He highlights Southern District U.S. Attorney Jay Clayton as a figure he believes could bring more cases federally reviving, he says, a Giuliani-era idea of a weekly Federal Day, a concept Linda notes she hadn't heard before (and which they connect to *Blue Bloods*).

Simone closes with the Epstein files and the media fight over what they mean. He contends coverage leans heavily on images of Trump at large public events, while he contrasts that with what he describes as a deeper archive involving Bill Clinton. Simone claims Trumps interactions were limited to social encounters after Epstein joined Mar-a-Lago, and says Trump later banned Epstein after learning of alleged misconduct at the club. He also points to the sheer volume of Epstein-related material and notes recent releases that he says include prominent liberal figures, including Larry Summers and Noam Chomsky.

A holiday-week episode that starts in studio small talk and ends in big, hard-edged debates about whether New York is thriving or failing, what tough on crime looks like in practice, and how power, politics, and the Epstein story continue to collide.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton joins Rose Tennent for the final hour as "The Sean Hannity Show" shifts gears from the day's headlines into a deep dive on something sitting in millions of living rooms: smart TVs and what they may be doing behind the scenes.

Paxton lays out Texas' lawsuits against major smart TV manufacturers, alleging they've been collecting detailed viewing data on Texans and monetizing it without clear, meaningful consent. He describes an ecosystem where TVs can be sold cheaply because, in his telling, companies earn enormous revenue from marketing based on viewer behavior. Rose presses on the real-world problem for consumers: most people don't even know there's anything to opt out of, and even if they do, the process can be confusing and hard to execute.

The conversation turns more serious as Rose cites warnings from Paxton's office about the possibility of sensitive information being exposed, especially as more people use TV apps to log into accounts and even handle financial transactions. Paxton says discovery is still ahead, but argues manufacturers may be capturing far more than viewers realize.

Then comes the national-security angle: Rose notes that at least one named company is Chinese-owned. Paxton says any unauthorized data collection is concerning, but adds that Chinese possession of that kind of information raises the stakes beyond consumer privacy. He also says Texas is sharing resources with other state attorneys general and hopes more states will join the fight.
