For years, conservatives have railed against what they call the “administrative state” and denounced regulations.

You must be thinking of the Divine Right of Kings.

Corporations control various agencies by telling the fascist bureaucrats what laws to write in order to benefit corporations and crush competition. The fascist bureaucrats are upset that they’ll no longer get cash bribes from corporations.
Reich is an idiot.
Who's paying him? He acts like an influencer so you hear him carrying the narrative for the Democratic Party.
