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.
