| Copy link to current segment

Time Text
Okay, now I had another semi-viral video, although it got jacked from me and then went super viral by Middle East Eye.
So you can see here, I found this video on TikTok, these comedians, and posted it on July 8th at 9 o'clock.
And then July 10th, two days later in the morning, they posted.
There's got 300,000 views.
They didn't want to give me a retweet, of course, Middle East Eye.
But still got 35,000 views.
It got a lot of views for a good reason.
Listen to what this comedian, Bobby, I don't know his last name.
Listen to what Bobby Cho, I think, Bobby Lee.
Listen to what he says about his trip to Israel and regretting his trip to Israel.
So when you're Steve Byrne calls me and Steve Byrne goes, you want to go to Israel?
I go, why?
He goes, it's free.
They'll fly you out.
Come on, you didn't do birthright and pretended you were Jewish.
No, no, no, no.
Can you imagine?
Yeah, I didn't do that.
No, but he said, no, the Israeli government is flying out celebrities for free out there to do a tour for free.
And it's on the house.
They fly you first class, the whole thing.
Wow.
Only one catch.
Flies out celebrities for positive PR propaganda purposes with one catch.
Oh, who's going?
He goes, it's going to be me, you, George Lopez, Jamie.
George Lopez is mentioned.
Here's George Lopez.
Off to the land of milk and honey.
Thanks, Israel and LA.
Wishing safe travels.
And then he says, thank you, M Voices in Israel, for an amazing trip to Israel.
Greeting meeting with the foreign minister of Israel.
So he went, he did the mandatory tweets.
It's going to be me, you, George Lopez, Jamie Chong, Brian Greenberg, her husband.
I love him.
I love him.
I love Brian, right?
And I go, it's free?
They go, yeah, it's not free.
Because when you land there, they go, you have to every day tweet positive things about Israel.
They tell you, after you land there, bribe you with a free trip.
Nothing's free.
A country that's so amazing, has such a great democracy that they have to pressure celebrities to tweet positive things for them.
And it's like, why don't they fly out these comedians and pay them to do gigs and then pay for their hotel and play for the plane trip?
Isn't that all standard for comedians?
It's the fact that they didn't even get paid for the gig, or maybe they didn't even do a gig.
Right?
Yeah.
And I just felt so uneasy about it.
Tweet positive things about it.
It's not free.
Because when you land there, they go, you have to every day tweet positive things about Israel.
Yeah.
Right?
Yeah.
And I just felt so uneasy about it.
Yeah, but couldn't you just go why do you because you have because you have a lot of Palestinian friends?
Yeah, I mean, I know some.
You know what I mean?
I don't know much about it.
I just know that they're in conflict.
And it's just like...
He even says he cucked for the state of Israel.
I did.
I did what they said.
But it's like the fucking wrath I got was insane.
Insane.
That was some of the stuff you tweeted.
Yeah, because we don't like celebrities being taken over there for propaganda trips and being told to tweet things.
This is how they operate.
Choose good, Palestinians bad.
Is that what you tweeted?
Yeah, yeah, yeah.
Chew number one.
Build the wall higher.
No, it was just basically, you know, oh, Palestinians, Israel's a beautiful country.
It's probably true.
That's true.
It is true, but then it's like, I had to tag the government in it or whatever.
Oh, that's crazy.
The Israeli government?
Yeah.
Oh, fuck.
That's weird as shit.
Yeah, and it was just like every day it was just nonsense.
You were cucking for the Israeli government.
Yeah, but I wish I hadn't gone early.
Wow.
Thank you, Bobby Lee, for giving your testimony about your trip to Israel.
Very, very good thing that you did there by speaking out about that.
And again, this got 300,000 views on Middle East Eye, the big story.
