As a life time Republican Dan is FANTASTIC! Best representative from the opposite side of the aisle. No yelling, no anger, just calmly defends his side.

[dpgeorgeff]

I've said this before, but you three together are great. Thanks!

Dan seems so genuine and comfortable in his own skin. Dan and Fettermsn are now my favorite Democrats.

[jamessim]

My morning routine includes listening to you guys. Dan, you and Harold Ford are great for the democrats. As a Republican, I am glad they are ignoring both of your opinions. 😂😂😂

Amazing interview with isaiah taylor. He lives in my neck of the woods. I'm going to be researching and possibly investing in his company.

Sean needs to NOT interrupt Dan (even though Sean really wants to say something - just wait) and Sean needs to complete his thoughts - he is stopping himself and shifting to his next thought before he has competed his previous thought. We can guess where he was going originally, but I bet if he lets Dan finish, then Sean can better contemplate what he wants to convey. Still, great job guys!

Brigadier General Greg Zanetti talked a lot about mini nuclear reactors during his run for governor of NM several years ago, specifically using brackish water. sounded great to me. good luck to that young man.

This was one of the most intriquing episodes with Isiah on. You guys need to find more young people out there to change our world for the better. These are doers not naysayers. Our son many years ago was so concerned about global warming, thinking the planet was going to die. My husband explained that his generation will be the ones to create new technologies to solve these problems. Who would have thought of mini nuclear generators 25-30 years ago. Amazing!

So Biden's final video is basically him getting milkshakes and wandering around. That's prob a good example of the last 4 yrs - Biden getting milkshakes and ice cream and creeping around the halls.

Dan is THE man (love Shaun and Mark as well). If Democrats want to turn the ship he's the sorts guy thats going to make it happen.Superb

Trump has always been interested in nuclear through his uncle, John. The comparison to China is pretty substantial and we need to catch up. Great guest today and liked that you guys asked about his creds and method to contacting mar-a-lago. Trump's inner circle seems open to input, which in a very small way I experienced also back around Y2k when he was building a new golf course in the area. Just calling the main line I was put through to Norma Foerderer, who was his top aide. I got to ask about the development and open a door for next steps, which was fantastic. I went a different direction at that point but was so impressed with Ms. Foerderer and her kindness. I imagine that anyone whose great grandfather was a nuclear scientist would interest them. Glad this admin will pursue nuclear and AI. Enjoyed both Chris yesterday and his son today.

Wonder if the staffer who puts the Vice President’s schedule out has it on automatic repeat since it is usually exactly the same nothing burger day after day.

[ThomasJJacksonVA]

So all laws need to be enforced like the Tik-Tok ban? Does that apply to immigration law?

[USCTrojansOwn]

2way should have Dan have his own show “the democrat hour with Dapper DAN turrentine”

[laurilooc]

I’m very excited about building more nuclear in the US. Hope it’s a big part of Trump’s energy strategy. I also own solar panels so I know the limitations.

[WaltT-qn]

Not a very good huckster says the huckster extraordinaire. 🤣

[KamelCase]

If Mark mentions TikTok one more time, that could be it for me on this otherwise great platform

[bowlofrice]

Playing Kimmel clips tells you all you need to know about the messaging.

[AB-oluz]

Can't the Republican fundraising also go to on-the-ground get-out-the-vote efforts like Turning Point USA and Scott Pressler's efforts to flip districts from blue to red and swing states from blue to red?

[freeisnotenough]

Trying to think of a less ominous title for clip than “Biden’s final days” lol
