Notably, Sam's conversations were taken from a video posted on the YouTube channel Jubilee, where debates are organized between a particular individual and a huge group of people. The video featuring the Spin City star was titled 20 Trump Supporters Take on 1 Progressive (feat. Sam Seder).

The video was uploaded on March 9, 2025, and has already received more than two million views. According to Newsweek (published March 11), the YouTube channel was launched by startup investor Jason Y. Lee. Sam is mostly known for his work on shows such as Home Movies and Bob's Burgers.

One section of the videos shows Seder arguing with an individual named Michael, where the duo was speaking about the Work Opportunity Tax Credit or WOTC, based on which certain employers receive a tax credit if they hire people from different backgrounds. Michael was heard saying in the video:

"If you received a tax cut as an employer, wouldn't you hire person of color? If you could pay them less?"

Seder then claimed that there are government agencies that don't get tax cuts. However, Michael disagreed with Sam, as he said in response that the private and public sectors get tax cuts when they "hire a person of color." Sam Seder noted in his reply:

"Government agencies don't pay taxes. Government agencies operate and are funded by the government."

Apart from this, Michael argued with a woman named Sarah, where the latter claimed that Trump was not a "Christian nationalist." Sarah also agreed that Trump was not conservative enough in terms of social problems when she was questioned by Seder.
