00:01:00.080 Listen, all you New Yorkers.
00:01:02.380 You need taxi.
00:01:04.000 Okay, then you want to look around.
00:01:05.320 This is the 77
00:01:07.140 WABC Minicast.
00:01:10.900 Talking about the
00:01:11.800 election, of course, New York
00:01:13.740 City.
00:01:15.260 This is a pretty big one. Nationally
00:01:17.840 they're looking at it.
00:01:19.560 And I guess, what is that?
00:01:21.820 Prop 50 out there in California
00:01:23.820 A lot of celebrities are talking about that one.
00:01:29.840 And this kind of ties in to the whole Hollywood thing.
00:01:34.900 The Bruce Springsteen movie.
00:01:38.360 Oh, boy.
00:01:40.400 Springsteen, deliver me from nowhere.
00:01:43.640 and uh you never you never want to have a catalog of music or or movie titles uh where they could
00:01:53.680 just make fun of you using uh the movie title or song title uh this article is entitled born to
00:02:02.560 flop born to flop uh deliver me from nowhere is tanking and the reason people are giving is
00:02:12.500 springsteen is too dull for a biographical movie about himself he's a bore this guy
00:02:23.680 and his music isn't uh he doesn't have a catalog that everyone loves there are people who genuinely
00:02:34.420 hate bruce springsteen and his music uh or just you know his music like i've never been into
00:02:41.420 bruce i don't like bruce springsteen's music and uh i know a lot of people that don't like
00:02:48.320 bruce springsteen's music it's not this universally accepted thing like there are people that don't
00:02:55.220 like the beatles but you'll find a hell of a lot of people that do like the beatles right
00:03:01.260 i think bruce is kind of this artist that you really have to be into bruce to want to go see
00:03:08.080 a movie about it and there's just not that many people yeah he sold uh plenty of albums
00:03:15.080 128 million albums over 52 years that's a lot of records and um yeah they say it's just he's
00:03:25.860 it's not interesting enough he's a bore uh the low-key deliver me from nowhere has perfectly
00:03:33.760 respectable 83 percent on rotten tomatoes that's the thing about rotten tomatoes the
00:03:39.600 ratings kind of score for movies uh the the people lie on it there's a lot of lying going on
00:03:49.580 and i think because politically bruce has been anti-trump and anti-maga uh people will just
00:03:58.300 push his movie and vote it up not because they like the movie um yeah this this is just a bomb
00:04:07.360 he's brilliant and talented the guy that plays him what's his name but uh they say it's a big
00:04:14.060 snooze fest and this that's what's happening imagine having the the gumption to think you're
00:04:22.880 worthy of a movie yeah 54 years that's a long music career and back in the 70s and 80s
00:04:31.000 bruce was a big big name artist now no one really cares that much about bruce so uh yeah i like that
00:04:45.320 i like seeing uh something like that like bruce springsteen and the fact that no a bunch of
00:04:52.780 people don't care what he has to say he didn't he play for kamala harris at one point then he
00:04:58.940 got mad at trump uh for for using one of his songs at a rally uh and then he puts this movie
00:05:07.200 out and he probably thinks or people put it out and he probably thinks it's going to be a big
00:05:11.760 success and it's just it just bombs so good good for you bruce uh john stewart you know john
00:05:22.640 Stewart, The Daily Show, he was talking to Zoran Mamdani, and he says that Zoran's run
00:05:36.300 for mayor is a big moment, a big moment historically, and he equates it to another big moment in
00:05:48.180 history as far as racial equality goes so here's john talking to a zoran i wish you all the best
00:05:57.240 honestly you know i think any new yorker who looks at someone getting an opportunity who's
00:06:02.580 representing communities that have not been as representative a muslim a young person a progressive
00:06:08.720 a democratic socialist you know there are so many different communities that are looking to you and
00:06:15.420 And this, I hate to put it on you, as a bit of a Jackie Robinson moment.
00:06:19.280 And I know that that probably wields some weight.
00:06:24.320 But, man, oh, man, what an exciting opportunity.
00:06:27.900 Thank you.
00:06:28.040 And I wish you the best.
00:06:28.980 Thank you.

00:06:45.420 You know, a Jackie Robinson moment, and then he tells him because he's Muslim 0.69

00:07:04.560 Is that it?
00:07:05.760 I don't know.
00:07:07.880 But Jackie Robinson moment.
00:07:10.460 What do you think David Dinkins, how do you think David Dinkins feels about that?
00:07:15.420 David Dinkins was a black guy, and he was elected mayor of New York. 0.92
00:07:21.680 He was an abomination as mayor. 1.00
00:07:25.420 But, I mean, you want to talk about a Jackie Robinson moment,
00:07:29.180 one of those breakthrough moments in racial equality,
00:07:38.220 you'd have to say it was Dinkins. 0.97
00:07:41.560 he was a black guy and he got elected mayor and really screwed new york up 0.96
00:07:49.520 but john stewart always thinks he's he's being profound and he puts on that fake emotion thing 0.98
00:07:57.540 kimmel does that too all the time the little whiny whiny liberal guy fake emotion
00:08:04.800 remember when um the tragedy of 9-11 and i say remember because apparently a lot of people
00:08:13.100 forgot you look around now apparently a lot of people forgot but uh john stewart was doing the
00:08:19.640 daily show and uh he just starts crying and look i know that was a tough nut to crack that one
00:08:26.500 uh but he's crying on the daily show and then he goes and i was used to be able to see

00:09:07.120 york again yeah dinkins was bad mem danny i don't know if they have more checks and balances in
00:09:16.880 place now i don't think they do but i don't know if a mayor can really do as much damage
00:09:24.020 than Dinkins did.
