times that we have known. >> kevin arnold is just like a regular kid except in the 1960s, and he's not off, but i'm just sitting there trying to call a girl. >> the first episode of "the wonder years," anybody who saw it remembers the ending where the first kiss with winnie and kevin arnold. the song they play is "when a man loves a woman." that moment seemed so pure and so real. ♪ when a man loves a woman can't keep his mind on nothing else ♪ >> the tone of the baby boomers in the 1960s is about rebellion, about being students. by the 1980s, it's time to grow up. and so they shave their beards, give up their dashikis, and put on power suits, a whole new notion. >> oh, the yuppies. last year the politicians were all talking about winning their votes. now the young urban professionals and the rest of their baby boom generation are being wooed by advertisers and their agencies. >> by the '80s, it was pretty clear that the generation after the generation of the '60s may be embodied by alex keaton on "family ties," seeming to be a lot more interested in the corner office than the new jerus

original did in the 1980's, it focuses on family and friendship and instead of getting to know kevin arnoldy newcomer ej williams. it doesn't shy away from the struggles black families faced. >> this show is a remakes from the original which is a universal coming-of-age theme, but the remakes is it is a different family, the struggles were different. kumasi: it also features don cheadle's as adult dean to narrate the episodes. today at 11:30 on midday life, jobina had a chance to talk to one of the other stars. jobina: she was so nice. i was telling kumasi she is definitely a newcomer and has this happy to be here attitude, and was so nice to talk to, so i know all of us appreciate that. when i think black family, the 1960's, living in alabama, comedy is not the first thing that comes to mind, and she spelled that out and how they made this fun for people to watch because life was going on. reggie: who does she play? jobina: the main character's mother. reggie: seven things you need to know today, plus you can watch all of our newscasts live on our app available for apple tv, amazon tv, fir

kevin mccarthy. he was the assembly republican leader at the time. he was sucking up to arnold. to every photo op possible and here we are 18 years later and it's kevin mccarthy republican party that's undermining democracy and using the recall as another chapter to try to deconstruct our election process and it's absolutely disgraceful and incredibly hypocrite cal. >> it is. it's an attempt to seize power knowing that it's going to be minority rule. knowing you do not have the support of the majority because you can't appeal to them pause your policies are so out right white nationalists because people of color, the asian american community used to be a swing vote. it ain't no more because they have shown themselves to be so white nationalist leaning that people are no thank no matter what even if the non-white groups -- >> are you saying the china virus didn't catch on? >> i'm afraid to show the polls. it is going toward keeping gavin newsom in. should we be looking at the california election as some sort of bellwether for democrats going into 2022 or is this a generous situat

kevin faulconer is not that person. he's as bland as ice cream. he's just not interesting and he's not going to be at at the end. so you need somebody arnoldrzenegger was a celebrity. he had fame. he's moonlighting republican. he so he held that kind of fame and could run independently. >> so you have to in some ways be independent of the party. but embrace the party and be able to reluctantly bring the law. that's a tough sell because there isn't any one local government who does that? there isn't anyone in the public and farm team. who's that person something they have to look hard. and if you're going take a page larry elder's playbook or donald trump's playbook. you're going to lose and you're going to lose in the primaries. michael say you're not going to make it all the way. so i think one of the things that comes out of this is ken gavin newsome exhibit some humility and grace like larry elder did that that jonathan mentioned. but at the same time, can he govern forward effectively that also falls and republicans who got wall up tonight. there's no question about that. and they have no relevance so far. so where do they find that re
