    For those who don't know, Sam's dad is Robert Reich, the former Labor Secretary and progressive activist with his own TH-cam channel that Sam occasionally shows up in, so Sam comes from a pretty liberal family. Casting Sam as some nutty right-wing Rupert Murdoch-style conservative demagogue media mogul, this skit is basically designed to have Sam gut-bursting. Well done writers, well done.

    • @jedinxf7
      @jedinxf7 ปีที่แล้ว +440

      I had idea, but you left out acclaimed economist, and honestly "former labor secretary" doesn't do justice to one of the most respected cabinet members of the last century. not exaggerating; and it's very rare for a cabinet member other than secstate, the AG, or in worse times secdef to have that sort of lasting legacy in the mind of the public (at least, of the informed public).
