Know More News - Adam Green - Comedian Regrets Israel Trip After Being Forced to Promote the Country on Twitter Aired: 2022-07-12 Duration: 04:32 === Viral Videos and Retweets (03:55) === [00:00:08] Okay, now I had another semi-viral video, although it got jacked from me and then went super viral by Middle East Eye. [00:00:17] So you can see here, I found this video on TikTok, these comedians, and posted it on July 8th at 9 o'clock. [00:00:28] And then July 10th, two days later in the morning, they posted. [00:00:32] There's got 300,000 views. [00:00:34] They didn't want to give me a retweet, of course, Middle East Eye. [00:00:37] But still got 35,000 views. [00:00:40] It got a lot of views for a good reason. [00:00:42] Listen to what this comedian, Bobby, I don't know his last name. [00:00:47] Listen to what Bobby Cho, I think, Bobby Lee. [00:00:50] Listen to what he says about his trip to Israel and regretting his trip to Israel. [00:00:54] So when you're Steve Byrne calls me and Steve Byrne goes, you want to go to Israel? [00:00:59] I go, why? [00:01:03] He goes, it's free. [00:01:05] They'll fly you out. [00:01:06] Come on, you didn't do birthright and pretended you were Jewish. [00:01:08] No, no, no, no. [00:01:11] Can you imagine? [00:01:12] Yeah, I didn't do that. [00:01:14] No, but he said, no, the Israeli government is flying out celebrities for free out there to do a tour for free. [00:01:23] And it's on the house. [00:01:24] They fly you first class, the whole thing. [00:01:26] Wow. [00:01:27] Only one catch. [00:01:29] Flies out celebrities for positive PR propaganda purposes with one catch. [00:01:35] Oh, who's going? [00:01:36] He goes, it's going to be me, you, George Lopez, Jamie. [00:01:40] George Lopez is mentioned. [00:01:42] Here's George Lopez. [00:01:43] Off to the land of milk and honey. [00:01:45] Thanks, Israel and LA. [00:01:47] Wishing safe travels. [00:01:48] And then he says, thank you, M Voices in Israel, for an amazing trip to Israel. [00:01:53] Greeting meeting with the foreign minister of Israel. [00:01:55] So he went, he did the mandatory tweets. [00:02:01] It's going to be me, you, George Lopez, Jamie Chong, Brian Greenberg, her husband. [00:02:06] I love him. [00:02:06] I love him. [00:02:07] I love Brian, right? [00:02:08] And I go, it's free? [00:02:10] They go, yeah, it's not free. [00:02:13] Because when you land there, they go, you have to every day tweet positive things about Israel. [00:02:20] They tell you, after you land there, bribe you with a free trip. [00:02:24] Nothing's free. [00:02:25] A country that's so amazing, has such a great democracy that they have to pressure celebrities to tweet positive things for them. [00:02:36] 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? [00:02:43] Isn't that all standard for comedians? [00:02:45] It's the fact that they didn't even get paid for the gig, or maybe they didn't even do a gig. [00:02:51] Right? [00:02:52] Yeah. [00:02:52] And I just felt so uneasy about it. [00:02:55] Tweet positive things about it. [00:02:58] It's not free. [00:03:00] Because when you land there, they go, you have to every day tweet positive things about Israel. [00:03:06] Yeah. [00:03:07] Right? [00:03:07] Yeah. [00:03:08] And I just felt so uneasy about it. [00:03:11] Yeah, but couldn't you just go why do you because you have because you have a lot of Palestinian friends? [00:03:15] Yeah, I mean, I know some. [00:03:16] You know what I mean? [00:03:17] I don't know much about it. [00:03:18] I just know that they're in conflict. [00:03:19] And it's just like... [00:03:23] He even says he cucked for the state of Israel. [00:03:26] I did. [00:03:26] I did what they said. [00:03:28] But it's like the fucking wrath I got was insane. [00:03:32] Insane. [00:03:33] That was some of the stuff you tweeted. [00:03:35] Yeah, because we don't like celebrities being taken over there for propaganda trips and being told to tweet things. [00:03:41] This is how they operate. [00:03:44] Choose good, Palestinians bad. [00:03:45] Is that what you tweeted? [00:03:46] Yeah, yeah, yeah. [00:03:47] Chew number one. [00:03:48] Build the wall higher. === Thank You, Bobby Lee (00:43) === [00:03:49] No, it was just basically, you know, oh, Palestinians, Israel's a beautiful country. [00:03:55] It's probably true. [00:03:56] That's true. [00:03:56] It is true, but then it's like, I had to tag the government in it or whatever. [00:04:00] Oh, that's crazy. [00:04:01] The Israeli government? [00:04:02] Yeah. [00:04:02] Oh, fuck. [00:04:03] That's weird as shit. [00:04:04] Yeah, and it was just like every day it was just nonsense. [00:04:07] You were cucking for the Israeli government. [00:04:08] Yeah, but I wish I hadn't gone early. [00:04:12] Wow. [00:04:13] Thank you, Bobby Lee, for giving your testimony about your trip to Israel. [00:04:19] Very, very good thing that you did there by speaking out about that. [00:04:25] And again, this got 300,000 views on Middle East Eye, the big story.
