hey come see us on two we'll be in duf Georgia right outside of Atlanta Jacksonville Florida Tempe Arizona and Burbank California go to Jimmy door.com for a link for those tickets so max Blumenthal so this is Keenan Thompson from SNL and apparently he was on stage yucking it up and he's at the Democratic National Convention and uh so he's there to lend his celebrity and his talents to the Democratic party and and kamla Harris who is funding a genocide and has been for the last almost two years is it is that how long or a year how long has it been a year almost um and hasn't done anything for anybody but so max Blumenthal uh asked him some questions like hey why don't you use your celebrity to help influence policy why don't you go join the protesters what are you doing in here so watch this any comment about all the young people protesting any comment no no comment about all the young people protesting Israel's genocide outside who your fans no comment com should they stop the genocide or no I mean is it weird to provide comic relief to an Administration that's shipping bombs to a genocide is that weird reporter bro like why you Dow what they're trying to do here what a why you Downing what they're trying to do here well because they're actually funding a genocide right a Slaughter of people in Gaza I know some people like to call it a genocide like to quibble some we'll call it an ethnic cleansing sounds nicer sounds like they're sounds like they're cleaning them so dude why are you Downing what they're doing here because he's a reporter and he's supposed to be critical and you're just a tool of the establishment but watch it gets better they're Downing tens of thousands of lives in Gaza they just S2 billion to Israel for weapons so the question is what are you doing here providing comic relief to an Administration that doing my part as a citizen dude it's not about comic relief it's about real talk so what do you think so let's have real talk we all know a word of support for all the young people protesting we know that those issues are terrible that's not what's up for discussion up here it's not for up for discuss course it is but we've discussed it a million times already and what have you done about it he he's just talking now he's just talking that that we that's not up for discussion up there and mass goes that's not up for discussion he goes of course it is but we've discussed it a million times already yeah and and did you do did you get make any progress no so we now we just forget about it so what about doing something about it what about doing something can I do except for vote against it what what can I do about it except for vote against it well you're doing the exact opposite right now you're here telling people to vote for it because that's who's doing it it's not Donald Trump it's Joe Biden and KLA Harris right now and they've rejected any T any idea of an arms embargo which would end the war like that you get in the room with them I don't won't even an interview you ask her to stop sending room her bro I hear you you have influence don't like I'm a politician of course I got celebrities of course we speak out over anything that's like will you speak out about the Gen doesn't really sound like you're speaking out about it does it of course we speak out about it are you doing right now you're you're upset with a guy asking you to do that very thing Max Blumenthal is asking you to speak out about it and use your influence and you're upset with him you're confronting him like he's some kind of everybody trying to like stop all this you see I'm still standing here right yeah okay all right stop trying to play me out we're going to have to go this way just stood on stage that the Democrats impose an arms andar on Israel just ask kamla I don't get in the room with her she won't talk to the media she won't even give us a question celebrities but you're getting political on stage and you won't ask answer questions I answer the question do you support do you support the Biden administration's policy on shipping 20 billion in heavy weapons to Israel why is that not an issue for you guys anybody will you take stand why don't you stand with why don't you stand with the young people outside you would have you have so much more influence than us you can sa do my part but at the same time I'm not a policy maker we're asking you try to influence said ital instead of being co-oped by the Empire stand with the young people outside and y'all keep asking me the same question so like I'm asking you why do y'all keep asking me the same question because the celebrities holding cameras and people's faces exactly I'm a journalist yeah right I don't get in the room with won't speak that doesn't make policy you should get mad at the people I'm trying to act like I'm not speaking out against things and I'm just a clown out here are doing for her you're not demanding anything as a price for you to be on [Music] stage who you the gry Zone who the greyzone the gry zone.com my name is Max Blumenthal celebrities don't ask for anything to go on stage all they want is the camera thank you I'm allowed to ask questions that's exactly right they don't you don't ask for Just Like Bernie Sanders you don't ask for anything in return for your support nothing wow power concedes nothing without a demand and that's a guy he just wants a camera he just wants to be on stage at the DNC and he and he uh shrouds it and look I'm doing my part as a citizen this is not your part your part should be out there with the protesters trying to get your government to do something better not in here propping up corporate and genocides but that's what he's doing and Max is 100% right they don't ask for celebrities don't ask for anything nothing nothing there was George Clooney and Jimmy Kimmel sitting on stage at a fundraiser for a Joe Biden the genocider genocide of Joe did they ask him to do anything no you know what they did ask him to step down and let a younger blacker person uh do a genocide that that makes a better and I've been to these protests here this week these Palestinian protests and I've asked people why don't you think the protests are bigger because they're not as big as they should be a uh do you know that Chicago is the has the biggest population of Palestinians in the country and they're holding their convention here it's like they're putting it right in their face hey the people who are funding that genocide of your people they're going to have a big party and this whole City's going to shut down for them so that was kind of amazing that was great great great work by Max Max Max has actually he found a spot in some kind of hallway that I have to go find today uh where every the Big Wigs walk by and so I guess he got Schumer he got Wolf Blitzer got somebody else the only people I saw yesterday was uh I think I saw um I saw uh what's what's his name from um the CNN guy who got fired uh you saw what I saw yeah I saw that pollster Frank lunch and he was talking to Don Lemon and so I was waiting for them to stop talking because they were like doing an interview and then I was going to go up to Don Lemon and say hey you still think ior mechon is a horse paste you ever want to apologize for that but they never stopped talking and but I did walk in on Joanne Reed she was doing a live shot and people people grabed me she's on TV live and I'm like what huh I'm just like walking I'm walking right in her shot but my microphone
