Must-see morning clip: Bill de Blasio will ruin New York for all the millionaires

The news is alarming to “Daily Show” millionaire John Hodgman, who describes a bleak future under the populist mayor: “This place will be a dilapidated wasteland where New Yorkers are forced to travel underground, packed together, in urine-scented subterranean sewage trollies and line up to eat wet tubes of meat dispensed from Soviet-era metal carts.”
