After infiltrating a pro-Palestinian camp at UCLA, comedian Leo Dottavio discovered that the participants, mostly uninformed white women, were looking for their next “weekday adventure” and mostly just hanging out. He said he was just there.
Dottavio traveled throughout the United States, visiting liberal universities, towns, and even Appalachia. He and his fellow YouTuber/comic Danny Mullen frequently search for protests surrounding trending news stories, and when they question the official narrative at a particular political event, they immediately You realize you’re going to get into trouble.
Their adventures often involve raids from the progressive left, but they also make a number of less partisan stops, including events at the U.S.-Mexico border in Eagle Pass, Texas, and at Brigham Young University in Utah.
For Dottavio, who overcame arrest while investigating the drug crisis and helped rescue a woman who had overdosed in San Francisco, there was little that had been avoided.
Dottavio and Mullen investigate pro-Palestinian protests on the UCLA campus, trying to determine whether they are genuine or just a liberal hangout/soon-to-be homeless encampment. there was.
They tried to take their tent into the official occupation area, but it was cordoned off with cardboard, posters, and a progressive version of the SS.
Despite efforts to keep the comedian out, the protest had to deal with Dottavio breaking the picket line by running through the middle of the field with a soccer ball. The comedians, who said he is about 6 feet 3 inches tall, did not receive any physical threats during the day. But by nightfall, Mullen was repeatedly physically threatened on video and escorted off campus by masked thugs while police were busy. Eliminate the most crowded areas.
“Get on a plane and go to Gaza.” Do you want to live with this? Are you that passionate about this cause? Please go help them. ”
But seeing this event up close and personal was very interesting for Dottavio.
“When you look at the clothes and scarves that people are wearing at protests, you would think that many of the protesters are Palestinian, but if you stand 10 feet away from these people, you probably I think less than 5% appeared to be Palestinian or Middle Eastern. ”
“What I’m saying is it was a white woman,” he clarified. “Ninety percent were white women with edgy hair. They didn’t look Palestinian at all. They looked like a group of people who probably just wanted to hang out.”
Mr. Dottavio elaborated, saying that this protest was a copy of many protests he had previously participated in. Most of the attendees consisted of people who had no real interest in the event’s political message and wanted to participate.
“It seemed like that was their job, or their way of having an adventure during the week. It was like they were just looking for something fun to do,” he recalled.
“It was mostly white women. I think 90% were uninformed white women. It seemed like anyone who didn’t like America wanted to come there. Masu” [‘All cops are bastards’], Antifa, and a white woman trying to hang out with her peers. ”
Dottavio’s insight into political movements at the university level should not be underestimated. He has spent countless hours at dozens of protests, often finding himself in the most progressive environments.
No school was more progressive than Evergreen State College, which was notorious for hosting “.Days of absence”, which in 2017 required students to be closed to white people for one day.
Dottavio and Maren are visited the campus I was shocked at how easily they were accepted, even though they had participated many times and posed as literal communists.
“We knew it would be easy to infiltrate the Evergreen State again. Last time we were there, the more anti-Semitism there was, the more accepted it was.”
Just one example of their visit is that one student told the crew that it was his hope that “God Himself” would “deal a great blow against Israel.”
“The strange thing about the Palestinian protests and the universities is, but… what happened in Ukraine? There are so many deaths there, why don’t they care about that? ” asked Dottavio. “Of course, the only solution to that is to get on that goddamn plane and go to Gaza. Do you want to live this? Are you that dedicated to this cause? Go help them. , I respect that. That’s what they need.” ”
When asked what he thinks a college education will bring to America’s youth in 2024, Dottavio said he doesn’t have high expectations for students who are preoccupied with various protests.
“It turns out that the people that are being churned out at some Ivy League schools are less productive because of the way the world works. They’re so easily manipulated.”
The 38-year-old said he thinks there are many other topics that young activists can focus on, such as human trafficking and child trafficking. He described America’s problems as a “long list,” but issues that should be high on the list are not getting the attention they deserve from college students.
border patrol incident
In January 2024, Dottavio and Maren visited the U.S.-Mexico border with adult film stars and were shocked to find that U.S. Border Patrol agents exposed their genitals to the group in person, in photos and on cellphones.
While near the California border town of Jacumba Hot Springs, the organizers were approached by what appeared to be an official Border Patrol vehicle.
“We were just there to create YouTube content and learn more about the border crisis,” Mullen told Blaze News at the time. “But yes, it was a real border official who showed us his penis both over the phone and in person.”
“Once he heard about Holly; [Day] “He was making adult films and it seemed like he wanted to prove to us that he was worthy of being in this industry,” Mullen added.
The Border Patrol agent was seen showing the adult actress his cellphone and saying, “I’m not that big, but…”
“Oh, that’s his penis!” Mr. Day said, looking at the agent’s cell phone screen.
This was announced by Customs and Border Protection. washington examiner An investigation is said to be ongoing.
“All these decisions have to be backed by money. So what are the boundaries?” Maybe nefarious organizations like BlackRock are providing the funding behind the scenes. do not have. ”
“It really looked like a cartoon character,” Dottavio recalls. “As soon as we showed up with the porn star, the guy really seemed to go into a trance, and he took every opportunity to show his penis.”
“I don’t think he wanted to work there anymore. He probably daydreams about doing something different every day. Obviously, he’s probably not the type of person who would want to work at the border.”
“That man wanted to free himself. As soon as the fly fell, he was free,” Dottavio predicted poetically.
Wake up to sports being canceled
Always telling jokes and selling tickets has worked well for Dottavio, who is also an actor and has appeared in international spots. little caesars.
But as would be expected for a comedian who doesn’t believe in self-censorship, there were at least some conflicts.
“When Danny made a joke on our podcast about cutting a fat girl in half with a samurai sword, the show was canceled. Then the venue canceled our show.”
One unsuccessful petition Dottavio then learned that the Los Angeles comedy scene was not as easily offended as people imagined.
“What was said at a comedy open mic in Los Angeles is much worse than that,” he explained. “The culture in Los Angeles has always been that if you go to a comedy club, you can’t be offended.”
Despite being in a liberal stronghold, “you may hear things that are upsetting” and you have to deal with it. “You’re probably going to encounter microaggressions, too,” he added.
Dottavio played baseball in college, also talked about the prevalence of arousal in professional sports. In particular, the comedian is a big fan of the UFC and baseball, but admitted he’s “not really that woke.”
But Dottavio said he believes it is “usually up to the individual fan” to decide when to stop supporting them when they receive offers from the NHL or NBA.
“I don’t think I would be so keen to spend a fortune on a stadium if I knew my money was going to some crazy or woke cause.”
Dottavio wasn’t too harsh about his position, understanding that some fathers and sons might just want to avoid a political message. He said if he knew there was dark money involved in the messaging, he probably wouldn’t support it.
“Money has to underpin all these decisions. So what are the boundaries? Maybe nefarious organizations like BlackRock are funding it behind the scenes. “As a fan, at the end of the day, you have to donate enough money to make yourself happy,” he said.
Dottavio concluded by saying that he plans to continue the podcast. ”leo and danny show” and creating the kinds of videos he is famous for.
“It’s like an adventure, like Frodo Baggins going to Mordor.”
However, Dottavio admitted that he was likely not Frodo in his story.
“Yes, that’s probably Danny.”
