=== The Famous Squirrel Incident (03:41) ===

[00:00:00]  Do you all know the story of the pet squirrel?
[00:00:04]  Is it in New York City?
[00:00:05]  New York City?
[00:00:06]  Do you know that story?
[00:00:09]  I read it in disbelief.
[00:00:12]  A man and his wife have a sanctuary, as it were, for herding animals.
[00:00:19]  Animals that are hurt.
[00:00:21]  And that are found, and people bring them to them, and they take care of them.
[00:00:26]  They have 250 animals.
[00:00:29]  Over the year.
[00:00:31]  Oh, she watched it over the year.
[00:00:32]  Your wife.
[00:00:34]  Yeah, well, I'd only followed it recently.
[00:00:38]  So one of them was a squirrel that they have.
[00:00:43]  What's the squirrel's name again?
[00:00:44]  The late squirrel?
[00:00:47]  So they have a squirrel about, I'd say, seven years.
[00:00:52]  The mother was killed, and he was wounded, and they picked him up.
[00:00:57]  And they've nursed him, and it's become a very popular feature on Instagram.
[00:01:04]  I'm sorry?
[00:01:05]  That's how Susie followed it.
[00:01:07]  Yeah, okay, that's right.
[00:01:10]  And then somebody snitched on him.
[00:01:14]  He is violating the law.
[00:01:17]  You can't...
[00:01:19]  Peanut.
[00:01:19]  Yeah, that's right.
[00:01:20]  P-apostrophe-N-U-T. Very famous.
[00:01:24]  The most famous squirrel in the country.
[00:01:26]  It's like I had the most famous dog in the country, Otto.
[00:01:29]  He had the most famous squirrel in the country.
[00:01:36]  And the squirrel was utterly domesticated.
[00:01:42]  If this squirrel had been put out in the wild, it would have been killed immediately.
[00:01:49]  And then some...
[00:01:52]  Governmental agency came to the house with guns.
[00:01:57]  I mean, I actually had to read that.
[00:01:59]  I didn't believe it.
[00:02:01]  I thought, oh, I'm reading it wrong.
[00:02:03]  With guns.
[00:02:05]  Like they do to J6 people who are equally horrible as the man who kept the squirrel.
[00:02:16]  And they killed the squirrel.
[00:02:18]  People commenting on this have noted this is such a perfect example of what happens when government gets too big.
[00:02:32]  First of all, it produces monsters.
[00:02:37]  I am scared of faceless bureaucrats.
[00:02:41]  I don't get scared much, as I think you all know.
[00:02:47]  COVID didn't scare me, for example.
[00:02:49]  But I just don't get scared.
[00:02:53]  Oh, I'm scared.
[00:02:54]  I'm scared of the deep state.
[00:02:56]  I am.
[00:02:57]  I am.
[00:02:57]  I am scared of the faceless bureaucrat who follows the law and is heartless.
[00:03:06]  What did the people who came with guns to this man's house, because he had a squirrel, what did the people with guns, and they ransacked his house, what were they looking for?
[00:03:19]  Other squirrels?
[00:03:20]  What were they looking for?
[00:03:22]  They ransacked the house.
[00:03:24]  They didn't allow the husband or wife to go to the bathroom.

=== Scummy Power Play (00:37) ===

[00:03:27]  She said she held herself for six hours.
[00:03:33]  Had she relieved herself, one of these agents would have checked on the toilet after she was there.
[00:03:42]  The humiliation, the degradation.
[00:03:46]  We have scum.
[00:03:48]  In government.
[00:03:49]  Not all people in government are scum, but we have scum in government.
[00:03:54]  It attracts scummy people.
[00:03:57]  People who love to have power over others.
[00:04:02]  It brings them joy.
