[0:05](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1XB9U0cGjOHh/en/a-democratic-socialist-convention-comedy-about-workers-and-labor?t=5) Okay, what's the catch? She's a Democratic socialist. [0:12](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1XB9U0cGjOHh/en/a-democratic-socialist-convention-comedy-about-workers-and-labor?t=12) And she wants me to come to their convention this weekend. [0:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1XB9U0cGjOHh/en/a-democratic-socialist-convention-comedy-about-workers-and-labor?t=16) Do you know if there'll be a free buffet? [0:18](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1XB9U0cGjOHh/en/a-democratic-socialist-convention-comedy-about-workers-and-labor?t=18) Count me in. Oh, can I come too? Why would you wanna come? [0:24](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1XB9U0cGjOHh/en/a-democratic-socialist-convention-comedy-about-workers-and-labor?t=24) I wanna see a room full of men who've never lifted anything explain labor to me. [0:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1XB9U0cGjOHh/en/a-democratic-socialist-convention-comedy-about-workers-and-labor?t=32) Do any of these people have jobs? It's the middle of the day. [0:35](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1XB9U0cGjOHh/en/a-democratic-socialist-convention-comedy-about-workers-and-labor?t=35) Don't they have to be at work? Jerry, socialists don't need jobs. [0:41](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1XB9U0cGjOHh/en/a-democratic-socialist-convention-comedy-about-workers-and-labor?t=41) No photos or videos are allowed inside, so we're just gonna need to take your phone and have you sign this NDA. [0:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1XB9U0cGjOHh/en/a-democratic-socialist-convention-comedy-about-workers-and-labor?t=47) I have to sign a secrecy agreement to hear about transparency? [0:51](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1XB9U0cGjOHh/en/a-democratic-socialist-convention-comedy-about-workers-and-labor?t=51) Just sign it. [0:56](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1XB9U0cGjOHh/en/a-democratic-socialist-convention-comedy-about-workers-and-labor?t=56) Aren't they supposed to be working-class people? [0:59](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1XB9U0cGjOHh/en/a-democratic-socialist-convention-comedy-about-workers-and-labor?t=59) They all look like they graduated from Yale with a liberal arts degree. [1:03](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1XB9U0cGjOHh/en/a-democratic-socialist-convention-comedy-about-workers-and-labor?t=63) Look at us, comrades from every borough, every background, every walk of life. [1:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1XB9U0cGjOHh/en/a-democratic-socialist-convention-comedy-about-workers-and-labor?t=70) Every walk of life? They all walked here from the same brownstone. [1:15](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1XB9U0cGjOHh/en/a-democratic-socialist-convention-comedy-about-workers-and-labor?t=75) So how long have you been a member? Ever since the mayor announced the city grocery store. [1:20](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1XB9U0cGjOHh/en/a-democratic-socialist-convention-comedy-about-workers-and-labor?t=80) Have you seen the price of food in this city? [1:23](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1XB9U0cGjOHh/en/a-democratic-socialist-convention-comedy-about-workers-and-labor?t=83) Criminal. So what do you do for work? Nothing. [1:28](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1XB9U0cGjOHh/en/a-democratic-socialist-convention-comedy-about-workers-and-labor?t=88) Me neither. [1:32](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1XB9U0cGjOHh/en/a-democratic-socialist-convention-comedy-about-workers-and-labor?t=92) So then how do you afford New York? My parents pay for everything, and I live in their second apartment rent-free. [1:38](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1XB9U0cGjOHh/en/a-democratic-socialist-convention-comedy-about-workers-and-labor?t=98) Their second apartment? How do you afford it? [1:43](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1XB9U0cGjOHh/en/a-democratic-socialist-convention-comedy-about-workers-and-labor?t=103) I live with my parents in their only apartment. [1:47](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1XB9U0cGjOHh/en/a-democratic-socialist-convention-comedy-about-workers-and-labor?t=107) Dude, that is so salt of the earth. Everyone here keeps saying, "The workers." [1:54](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1XB9U0cGjOHh/en/a-democratic-socialist-convention-comedy-about-workers-and-labor?t=114) I've been here four hours. I haven't met one. [1:57](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1XB9U0cGjOHh/en/a-democratic-socialist-convention-comedy-about-workers-and-labor?t=117) That's the comedian I told you about. What's he doing here? [2:01](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1XB9U0cGjOHh/en/a-democratic-socialist-convention-comedy-about-workers-and-labor?t=121) He thinks we need a police force. Security, he supports the police. [2:07](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1XB9U0cGjOHh/en/a-democratic-socialist-convention-comedy-about-workers-and-labor?t=127) Get him out of here. Hey, what are you doing? [2:10](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1XB9U0cGjOHh/en/a-democratic-socialist-convention-comedy-about-workers-and-labor?t=130) I didn't do anything wrong. You're arresting me for liking the police? [2:16](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1XB9U0cGjOHh/en/a-democratic-socialist-convention-comedy-about-workers-and-labor?t=136) Dana, Dana, please, do something. I have no idea who that guy is. [2:25](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1XB9U0cGjOHh/en/a-democratic-socialist-convention-comedy-about-workers-and-labor?t=145) What the hell happened to you? They made me chair of the labor committee. [2:29](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1XB9U0cGjOHh/en/a-democratic-socialist-convention-comedy-about-workers-and-labor?t=149) They wanted someone to represent them who's actually a man of the people. [2:34](https://www.translate.mom/transcript/1XB9U0cGjOHh/en/a-democratic-socialist-convention-comedy-about-workers-and-labor?t=154) I'm a man of the people, Jerry.
