12/9 The affordability Argument w/ David Dayen

December 9, 2025

It’s News Day Tuesday on the Majority Report

On today’s program:

Donald Trump is well into his second term and still has no health care plan beyond a market-juicing scam that serves no one.

In her first CNN appearance, Emma goes to the mat over ACA subsidies and makes a strong case for Medicare for All.

David Dayen, executive editor for the American Prospect joins Sam and Emma to discuss the Prospect’s affordability project.

In the Fun Half:

Trump is asked about releasing the full “double tap” video, something he previously said he would do, and snaps at the reporter, calling her obnoxious and insisting he never made that promise.

The Chicago apartment building that was raided by a fully militarized ICE unit—only for agents to find none of the alleged Tren de Aragua members—is now evicting all tenants after being declared a firetrap.

Tim Pool crashes out over his fellow conservative pundits not having the guts to stand up to Candace Owens.

Sam Altman and Jimmy Fallon have an incredibly awkward exchange about ChatGPT.

All that and more.
