Tim describes visiting the UCLA pro-Palestinian encampment after a comedy set at the Hollywood Improv, taking selfies with protesters, getting waved in after claiming not to be a Zionist, meeting a mix of activists including tiny non-binary Asian people dressed like Hamas, and losing his Bentley in the parking maze before a police crackdown seemed imminent.
- Tim drove his Bentley to the UCLA encampment after leaving the Hollywood Improv and spent 30 minutes meeting protesters.
- To enter the encampment, he had to declare he wasn't a Zionist—a security measure the organizers believed would keep out FBI infiltrators.
- A fan told Tim that police were planning to move in with tear gas and rubber bullets around 1 a.m., prompting him to leave before the crackdown.
- The protests lack focus, mixing Palestinian causes with unrelated grievances like anti-whiteness and George Floyd references.
- These college kids don't have what it takes to actually be in Hamas, despite their enthusiasm for the cause.
- Police maintain a monopoly on violence in civilized countries, and college kids occupying universities won't change that reality.
- The event lacked proper catering and appetizers, revealing poor planning similar to badly organized parties.
- Tiny non-binary Asian people dressed like Muslims with walkie-talkies represented the kind of absurd, unserious fun America has lost to corporate boredom.
- Tim encountered a Jewish man outside the encampment who said he looked Jewish and noted that Jewish students felt outnumbered on campus.
- When the Jewish man kept pitching his nightlife app, Tim joked he'd put on the Palestinian scarf if he didn't stop.
