transcript
6:16
Maher: I mean really could a folk singer afford an apartment in New York today? Dylan he used to live there, never mind. and if your answer to all this is well there's a new sheriff in town and he's going to fix it, dream on. if we ever want this nation to be not broken both sides have to admit what they suck at. …

there's also something really ugly about a
government of billionaires blaming the desperately poor for all our problems.
so this year because there's not much going on from time to time I hope to take
each of these issues and try to make the case that there's an almost always a
reasonable center position that would go a long way to making everything not
broken if we could just get there if everyone would just stop being such a dick
about it [Music] English (auto-generated)
Lyrics: [Intro] Broken lines, broken strings Broken threads, broken springs Broken idols, broken heads People sleeping in broken beds Ain’t no use jiving Ain’t no use joking Everything is broken [Verse 1] Broken bottles, broken plates Broken switches, broken gates Broken dishes, broken parts Streets are filled with broken hearts Broken words never meant to be spoken Everything is broken Seem like every time you stop and turn around Something else just hit the ground [Verse 2] Broken cutters, broken saws Broken buckles, broken laws Broken bodies, broken bones Broken voices on broken phones Take a deep breath, feel like you’re choking Everything is broken Every time you leave and go off someplace Things fall to pieces in my face [Outro] Broken hands on broken ploughs Broken treaties, broken vows Broken pipes, broken tools People bending broken rules Hound dog howling, bullfrog croaking Everything is broken.

here's what our system has devolved into we
vote to spend money we don't have spend it and then vote whether to pay the
bill then one party threatens to crash the economy by not paying so then we
vote just enough money to keep the government open for a few months at a6 time
it reminds me of when I was broke and we put a dollar of gas in my car every
time I filled up you can tell me that's not a broken system the gerrymandering
the lobbyists writing the laws the Electoral College putting presidents in office
who didn't win......
