Based Camp - Full Story： The Bureaucratic Murder of Peanut the Squirrel

00:00:00.000 hello simone i'm excited today i'm gonna be talking to you about peanut the squirrel

00:00:04.320 the unsung american hero we've done full episodes on topics where i'm like this is something i want

00:00:10.040 to know more about i want to know the full story i want to know like unbiasedly none

00:00:14.000 what happened or was the right bias

00:00:17.340 for people who don't know the broad story of peanut squirrel is

00:00:26.400 peanut the squirrel was a pet squirrel that was euthanized by heavy-handed government practices

00:00:33.280 we are going to go into how this happened why this happened and i'd also say this isn't

00:00:39.320 necessarily a rare phenomenon so what do you mean not necessarily a rare phenomenon

00:00:44.820 this is somebody saying what radicalized you and it's a black woman caitlin greenidge she goes when 0.99

00:00:50.680 we lived in public housing my mom started a community garden to grow food to save money

00:00:54.840 and to occupy the kids that lived there and the public housing authority came and pulled out

00:01:00.280 all the plants and poured bleach on the ground to destroy it because gardens weren't allowed

00:01:05.300 oh my gosh oh i mean what the victory gardens were the most patriotic american government supported

00:01:14.880 thing in the world war ii what is this i i just gonna say progressives are evil but anyway we'll

00:01:22.060 get into this more like it it gets more evil than you could conceivably imagine it was peanuts squirrel

00:01:26.900 it gets into the level of you're like would they genocide my people and then you'll read this you're

00:01:32.800 like oh yeah they would and they wouldn't even think of it as a thing so as a squirrel story is going to

00:01:40.000 reveal this i i'm out of the loop actually oh okay all right i'm glad you're airing this then

00:01:46.280 because the election kind of drove right over the election how severe the peanut the squirrel story

00:01:53.140 is and i think it really shows the true evil that the bureaucracy represents and why we need to fight

00:01:59.660 it and burn it and rip it from every state and every county in every country because it is evil in the

00:02:07.040 extreme but peanut story began seven years ago when mark longo found him as an orphan baby squirrel in new

00:02:13.800 york city after his mother was hit by a car longo took peanut home where he nurtured him back to

00:02:19.600 health due to a severe injury that caused peanut to lose half his tail he was deemed unable to survive

00:02:25.560 in the wild consequently longo decided to keep him as a pet sharing their adventures on social media

00:02:31.240 platforms like instagram where peanut grew up to 720 000 followers okay so this was a celebrity squirrel

00:02:39.120 yeah this is why it matters as well it was a celebrity squirrel and it may have played a part

00:02:44.580 in handing trump this election what oh wow the plot thickens sign me up for this this is good okay

00:02:51.020 on october 30th 2024 so right before this election the new york department of environmental conservation

00:02:59.500 dec executed a raid on longo's home in pine county following an anonymous complaint

00:03:05.860 about illegally keeping of wildlife there was rumors that somebody named monica keisler had 1.00

00:03:12.720 admitted to it in a tiktok video and then everybody went and attacked somebody else called monica

00:03:17.840 keisler but then they attacked monica keisler and it has since come out from a freedom of information

00:03:23.220 request that she was not the person who did it or at least there is no proof that she was the person

00:03:27.640 who did it so i'm just trying to clear this up but basically the evidence seems to side towards her

00:03:34.400 not being the person who did it but a lot of people think it was her so this is very similar

00:03:39.560 to like how haters about us will say something like oh you know let's raid their house with the

00:03:46.540 child protective services which we've had called on us twice by it's similar to swatting so people

00:03:52.600 used to just i think now swatting is more rare because it was abused so much but now people call cps

00:03:57.420 or they call animal some kind of like animal he made to remember the llama farm had had the that

00:04:03.440 like some kind of department called on them a bunch of times the trans llama farm but but it during

00:04:11.260 this raid and you'll see how completely unjustified this was in a second during this raid authorities

00:04:16.020 seized both peanut and fred a raccoon that longo had recently rescued the dec reported that peanut had

00:04:22.940 allegedly bit an officer during the inspection which led to both animals being euthanized for

00:04:28.160 rabies testing both animals the raccoon bit nobody they euthanized both animals the decision sparked

00:04:36.840 outrage hold on hold on hold on because you and i we had a rabies scare this summer and we were it was

00:04:42.380 there was a bat that was dead in our yard and we actually did have to send it in it was still alive

00:04:47.320 and what happens is if if there is potential exposure you know maybe someone like a child

00:04:52.540 was bit by an animal you are supposed to send it in for testing so that you can tell this animal

00:04:59.120 couldn't have conceivably had rabies yeah that's the thing is is squirrels don't for my understanding

00:05:04.840 squirrels don't carry rabies rodents don't carry rabies it doesn't matter if the squirrel bit them

00:05:09.760 the squirrel was not rabid and also if the squirrel was rabid this guy would know because it was in his

00:05:16.260 house and he would know that the squirrel was lethargic and then aggressive but by another

00:05:21.260 animal how was it bit by another animal it was in his house and they knew this yeah yeah the raccoon

00:05:26.840 could have been rabid though but the raccoon didn't bite right yeah so so and it gets so so just

00:05:34.000 you know how overreaction this was in terms of like wasteful government spending six to eight new

00:05:39.760 york department of environmental conservation officers arrived at the house they spent hours inside the

00:05:45.020 farmhouse searching every part of the home he described it as quote we weren't allowed to move

00:05:49.660 we were police escorted to use the bathroom end quote there had been some recent speculation that

00:06:09.820 this may have been over an only fans account that he and his wife ran because they also do babysitting

00:06:15.240 sometimes the reason he suspected this might be the case is because the first question that was asked

00:06:21.540 of them is do they have any cameras in their house however i kind of doubt that because we know the agency

00:06:28.440 these individuals came from they came from the animal protection agency and because of that you you can't

00:06:33.500 have animal protection agency people do an investigation into porn that just makes no sense

00:06:39.160 like they i don't think cross departments do things like that so i think that this is just him freaking

00:06:45.080 out and the reason they were probably asking about cameras is they wanted to make sure no footage leaked

00:06:48.880 of them doing this because it would have made them look bad also side note apparently they made

00:06:54.140 eight hundred thousand dollars a month on only fans and they bought a 358 acre property with this money

00:07:03.120 and what should i be doing only fans i did not know you could make that much money on only fans

00:07:10.320 that's insane eight hundred thousand dollars a month i mean look i may have some misgivings around

00:07:18.180 pornography but they are not eight hundred thousand dollar a month misgivings i i can i can get around

00:07:24.920 any scruples i have for that kind of money so should simone and i be starting an only fans account

00:07:31.180 in the comments by the way this is a joke i would never actually do that even for eight hundred thousand

00:07:36.060 dollars a month they had a search warrant which they use to seize a quote-unquote unlawfully possessed

00:07:41.800 gray squirrel and raccoon and any other well and there's no other unlawfully possessed wildlife

00:07:47.640 that's all he had and they begin to aggressively question his wife diana about potentially being an 0.60

00:07:55.960 illegal immigrant which by the way people are like republicans do this no democrats do this the

00:08:01.620 democrats and we saw this in our election video for anyone who wants to see this the moment they 0.51

00:08:05.660 don't think that somebody's supporting their cause they will not only deport you they will sterilize 0.96

00:08:10.500 you they will kill you because that is who they are as human beings they use you because they think 1.00

00:08:15.700 they own your identity not because they give a flying fuck who you are how cavalierly the democrats 1.00

00:08:22.660 weaponize political institutions against their opponents it's just wild to me they do it so frequently 0.98

00:08:30.120 now they don't even notice that they're doing it so they'll say something like oh my gosh now that the

00:08:37.380 felon trump is elected he will hit his opponents with frivolous lawsuits and i'm like you you

00:08:46.740 understand that felon isn't like a slur it's a sign that he was targeted by a frivolous lawsuit by his

00:08:52.260 political opponents it's wild that trump hasn't done this to his political opponents and yet his

00:08:58.300 political opponents regularly do it to him and his supporters you know like elon musk was pointing out

00:09:04.340 the oh we can't let you launch a rocket because it may hit a whale when it when it enters the ocean

00:09:08.560 like what and to give you an idea of how delusional they have gotten around this is despite the fact

00:09:15.460 that everybody knows and they constantly remind us this whole every time you mention that trump's a

00:09:19.780 felon all i think it's oh yeah you weaponized politics to hit him with a frivolous lawsuit and 1.00

00:09:24.880 they're like no it was i'm like what why is he a felon they're like um he um do you want me to

00:09:31.480 remind you why he's a felon he's a felon because his lawyer told him that the way that he should

00:09:36.100 make hush payments to a prostitute was to give the lawyer money and then the lawyer would make the 1.00

00:09:40.840 payments and then new york said no he needed to label those payments hush money to prostitute which 0.76

00:09:46.600 of course no one's gonna do and and his lawyer told him this was an okay thing to do and it seems

00:09:51.920 like something that would be okay and then you're like well you know he shouldn't have paid hush money

00:09:57.040 to a prostitute that kind of sexual impropriety in and of itself makes him unfit to be president 0.92

00:10:01.700 and i'm like oh you know who else was paying hush money uh yeah camilla's husband who knocked up the 0.95

00:10:07.500 maid and then paid her hush money to keep her quiet about it or how about camilla when she was in her

00:10:13.100 20s and was sleeping with a 60 year old to get a political appointment yeah that happened too oh you

00:10:18.780 didn't know about those things well they're pretty well documented if you don't know about them it's

00:10:23.620 because the media you're listening to is actively hiding it from you and this was only supposed to

00:10:27.960 be a misdemeanor but then they said oh he was doing this to cover up another crime what crime

00:10:31.760 they didn't mention because he obviously wasn't so very clearly just a politically motivated thing

00:10:37.480 and it's wild to me that they will make these accusations with so much confidence that this is

00:10:44.340 something that trump would do when they just did it to him and are reminding you they did it to him

00:10:50.440 a controversial new ad from the trump campaign rolled out this week depicting a montage of all

00:10:55.520 the people the former president says he'll kill if he's elected in november the largely silent

00:11:00.300 commercial which openly promises the murder of various political rivals celebrities and even a

00:11:05.060 handful of ordinary citizens

00:11:06.680 i think trump is putting forward a clear and forceful vision of vengeful bloodshed

00:11:20.600 decapitating pete buddha judge on day one ending the lives of kim kardashian jake tapper the golden

00:11:25.400 state warriors this is the kind of thing that has proven to be successful with firing up his base

00:11:30.000 and the campaign believes it's a winning message but i think it's worth pointing out that the ad is not

00:11:34.300 entirely partisan don jr appears in there several times thanks for joining me mark as someone who

00:11:39.380 is featured prominently in the ad i'll be keeping a close eye on this story as it develops this is

00:11:45.280 this is just so wild to me that this happened and i can think of nothing as a better message for why

00:11:52.140 it's important that the entire democratic establishment whether you're in new york or

00:11:57.360 pennsylvania we need to start fire torching the bureaucracy because it's evil 0.80

00:12:05.300 it doesn't and do you not see that simona and i'm like this these are people who would like 0.62

00:12:16.320 callously kill someone for no reason there is no reason for them to do this

00:12:23.120 what are your thoughts there's this issue when when you and i think pretty much everyone can

00:12:33.000 identify with this when you get caught in a bureaucracy and something is obviously wrong

00:12:37.060 and you're obviously not being treated well they're like well there's nothing i can do

00:12:41.120 you know policy dictates that i have to do this and you're like well yeah but someone could die and

00:12:46.440 they're like well i don't know what to tell you like i can't help you this happened for example when

00:12:50.660 we have the rabies scare with our family right like the county was able to give us you know a

00:12:55.820 thing saying you know this family has been exposed you know we recommend that they get rabies shots

00:13:00.520 but no one was willing to provide them to us unless we went to an emergency room and paid ten thousand

00:13:04.960 dollars for emergency room admittance and then rabies shots which we couldn't afford to pay

00:13:10.120 so it was just like well then i guess you're gonna die but there's nothing i can do because

00:13:14.700 we don't have a policy of you know prescribing the policy they're like literally and i'll try to put

00:13:21.140 some things here of like people of earth this is prosthetic vogue on jelts of the galactic

00:13:26.880 hyperspace planning council as you are probably aware plans involve the building of a hyperspace

00:13:32.820 express route through your star system and your planet is one of those scheduled for demolition

00:13:39.920 there's no point actually you're surprised about it the plans and demolition orders have been on

00:13:47.340 display to local planning office in alpha centauri for 50 years and i think that's really real you

00:13:53.180 know and it it's scary because i think people are experiencing this more in canada where like

00:13:57.380 euthanasia is the option they're just like well like oh my god let's talk about the euthanasia thing

00:14:02.020 in canada where somebody was like oh you know it's been a few years and you guys were supposed to

00:14:07.140 install the thing in my house so i could get to the top floor of my house and i haven't been able

00:14:10.640 to go up there in years and they're like well have you thought about killing yourself yeah it's pretty

00:14:17.100 hilarious but yeah i think this goes to show that in people accuse very common conservatives of being

00:14:26.140 evil mustache uniform people from germany but really in the end you know this dehumanization

00:14:34.640 and willingness to just kind of let people fall by the wayside take things from people it can happen

00:14:41.880 in any bureaucracy especially when it becomes large and people just sort of blindly follow rules and

00:14:47.660 the amount the number of atrocities that someone can commit i think we don't normalize just how

00:14:52.260 quickly humans can do that and you just assume that that can't happen unless someone's like actively

00:14:57.520 evil and ha ha ha cackle cackle and that's not at all bureaucracies are actively evil and we don't

00:15:04.220 categorize them as the true form of villain that they are i mean consider the people who called cps

00:15:09.640 on our family right they're like they're not living the way i want them to in the same way the people

00:15:14.700 who called you know the environmental protection service on this individual oh yeah let's be clear

00:15:19.760 these are people who vouched online to not stop fighting until our children were taken away from us

00:15:24.920 yeah this it's the same kind of thing of like i want your squirrel taken away from you i want your

00:15:30.680 children taken away from you like whatever it is the people who are triggering these raids and

00:15:36.120 these visitations really want these people to lose their livelihood to lose their families to lose

00:15:42.520 you know the the animals and people that they love most and even their careers i mean if this girl had

00:15:48.220 that many followers maybe he also was making money from like ad revenue and stuff so like he probably

00:15:52.600 also lost income and yeah i just it's it is scary it is scary well i mean not lost but what i say is

00:16:02.040 that the same action that somebody it took this guy to a million followers before somebody decided to

00:16:07.500 do this to him but these people are just vile they just want to see other people suffer because these

00:16:15.040 people are not like them and bureaucracies give them power because they listen to them things like

00:16:23.160 swatting should not even be possible in any sort of a normal society things like this shouldn't that

00:16:30.380 they could have six to eight members of an administration like paid for a full day searching

00:16:36.000 his house and then one of them gets bitten because they were rough handling his animals like

00:16:41.280 did they even get bitten or were they just like convinced like we're gonna go in there and

00:16:47.440 murder everyone you know like that's that's sort of the thing right like this comes off as dystopian

00:16:54.200 and evil to an extent that i almost cannot conceive and i am just so shocked that we live in an

00:17:01.120 environment that's so close to this and yet anyone can still vote democrat even a single human can still

00:17:07.000 vote democrat knowing that we live in this world and it's scary so what

00:17:11.280 well what happened after this like was there backlash were there ramifications were people

00:17:15.400 questioned no people freaked out but you know new york being so democrat they're not going to be able

00:17:20.780 to shut down this department you know if if if we get into the administration this is one of the

00:17:25.920 things i may want to see is is promoting bills to dissolve these sorts of departments at the state level

00:17:33.440 they're like oh my god how could you do that well they shouldn't have had the right to do this

00:17:38.560 so i feel torn because you know a lot of animal control departments and in human safety departments

00:17:45.220 do really really really important work like i don't believe that welcome animal control let me show you

00:17:50.900 around those are some chairs that's a cat or possum this is a napkin where i wrote down a cool name for

00:17:57.560 a dog bark obama oh yo yeah we found this bird outside we tried to turn into a work whistle like

00:18:04.520 in the beginning of the flintstones tougher than a look though animal control famously does very little

00:18:12.020 of meaning it does seem to be very poorly run but we've only been here for two minutes there's more

00:18:17.240 one way to skin a cat four there's four ways to skin a cat ready to blow oh what is this coyote trap

00:18:23.720 dude ah this hurts you're fired you're fired the whole department is fired and i feel like that's

00:18:29.520 probably what we were looking at was in this circumstances an animal control that was mostly

00:18:34.100 a self-emasteratory effort there's even recently been an entire show done about animal control about

00:18:40.460 how feckless they are a reality tv show or no reality tv show it's supposed to be like a because 1.00

00:18:47.480 they don't want to do cops anymore because they see the medievals so now they're doing animal control

00:18:51.360 it i think it was done by the people who did or or in relation to because they had some of the same

00:18:55.740 actors who did that uh cop show what was it called it's so good brooklyn 99 oh should i be concerned

00:19:02.820 they are violent and have famously bad temperaments it's bad frank it's starting to feel extreme and

00:19:09.200 they did an animal control show because many people in the last season of brooklyn 99 were like oh

00:19:14.080 i feel so uncomfortable the actors because we're promoting cops oh yeah suddenly they were super

00:19:19.960 not okay yeah yes yeah and so they couldn't even humanize cops they were like that's evil

00:19:26.300 so we'll humanize you know murderers of little peanuts i i feel more conflicted than you i i think

00:19:38.740 i'm the one who interacts more with government related officials and employees on my part and pretty

00:19:45.860 much everyone i've interacted with has been pretty great hard working well meaning who would authorize

00:19:53.060 it's not just like there were at least six people in this guy's house yeah yeah yeah yeah none of them

00:20:01.200 stood up against this decision none of them said what are you doing you psycho yeah yeah no i mean

00:20:08.180 clearly there are bad actors here clearly clearly there are toxic policies i mean i could see this play

00:20:14.540 out in a way where these people were just doing what they they were following standard operating procedure

00:20:22.780 they they don't deviate because they don't care and they've dealt with so many at this point like

00:20:28.920 just random squirrels and and random animals no rodents don't carry rabies

00:20:35.620 yeah but i'm sure that there's some kind of policy where they're like well an animal bit me like we have

00:20:41.920 the right to just take it and euthanize it and test it anyway because you know whatever like

00:20:47.600 if i don't i don't buy that i think they went in there with the intention of killing these animals

00:20:52.000 yeah probably but why like why were they that cruel why were they that messed up why did five to

00:21:00.520 nine people they this is what i read of this situation the the fact that like five to eight

00:21:06.840 people went in there to me says one they looked at this guy beforehand they saw that he was famous

00:21:13.480 and two they wanted to send a message about how much control they had and how much power they had

00:21:18.640 over people who were more publicly famous than they are this could be and there could have also been

00:21:23.760 a meeting behind closed doors about this person promoting squirrel ownership and that being a thing

00:21:28.780 that they didn't want to start dealing with because then people would start owning you know all sorts

00:21:32.640 of like possums and raccoons that they found on the road and the squirrels are not possum and raccoons

00:21:37.560 they are rodents and they i get it but you could see that this them having this meeting in this

00:21:42.280 government building where they're like hey this guy's making people think that they can just

00:21:45.880 find you know find roadkill and adopt it and that that's okay and we can't have you know we

00:21:51.780 already deal with people who have raccoons and their addicts and all these other things and

00:21:56.600 you know children like there have been so there have been people anything if we had a raccoon

00:22:02.040 just let's let me still mean this there have been cases actual real cases of couples who decide that

00:22:10.400 i'm gonna adopt a raccoon and then they go out and they leave their sleeping baby in their house

00:22:14.900 with a raccoon and the raccoon eats the baby's face off like literally this is so much less than

00:22:19.500 pitbulls why don't they go out and kill pitbulls well but you understand that like encouraging people 0.95

00:22:24.700 to own wild animals is not a good idea and i think that they probably wanted to show a very 0.55

00:22:32.380 prominent case of like here's what we're gonna do to you if you try to do this because it's not

00:22:38.320 and now here's the problem is this guy was a wildlife expert he knew what he was doing he was not your

00:22:43.420 average jack-off like and he he clearly was responsibly owning this animal and you're absolutely 0.99

00:22:47.780 right as well the pitbulls hurt a lot more babies and other people's pets and adults than random 0.71

00:22:54.060 raccoons because most people are sensible enough to not put raccoons in their house and pitbulls are 0.70

00:22:58.980 also way more likely to you know get aggressive and do terrible things we're literally bred to kill

00:23:03.660 children well and well yeah like sort of small small males say yeah whereas raccoons just get

00:23:08.980 hungry sometimes i guess but like my point here is that i i think that it's important to be aware of

00:23:16.700 how these things actually happen and what you're doing is wrong because what you're saying you're just

00:23:22.400 straw manning these people and saying oh they're just evil like they just want to do evil and what's

00:23:27.000 happening here instead you have to understand the bureaucratic processes that lead this to happen if

00:23:30.880 you want to actually dismantle it if you want to actually burn it way more evil than you're giving

00:23:35.000 them credit for i don't think you believe in human evil and human evil is always downstream of

00:23:39.820 bureaucracy no because i know i know for a fact i believe this very deeply within me that everyone is

00:23:46.120 doing the very best they can with the information they have i agree are possessed will say by evil

00:23:51.240 information simone i agree with what you're saying i agree with what you're saying i do not think that

00:23:55.960 there are individuals out there the way that progressives frame conservatives certain individuals

00:24:00.460 out there who are like i'm gonna get these people oh i'm so excited to get these people that doesn't

00:24:07.080 exist outside of bureaucracies the core time when people do evil or are convinced in mass to do evil

00:24:14.260 if they get lied to and convinced that a group wants to get them so you very rarely have a group of

00:24:20.600 people that's like oh i can't wait to get x people but what you often have is a group of people that

00:24:25.400 say oh x people are victimizing me so i should in retaliation get them this is how the nazis got

00:24:34.140 people to target the jews they said well the jews are privileged the jews have power the jews have

00:24:37.920 taken your money and they used that to get them to target the jews this is how the wokes get all of 1.00

00:24:43.960 these people if you watch these progressives freaking out about losing the election they believed that they

00:24:48.520 had the right to commit any sort of evil they wanted to against republicans to hit trump with

00:24:52.620 frivolous lawsuits because they had been convinced that these people were out to get them even when

00:24:57.420 this is very clearly not true just like the nazis did it kamala's running the same playbook but people

00:25:03.540 who will follow up there are people who are excited to get those people that but that's because they

00:25:08.040 think that those people are evil they think or they think that humans are you know a scab upon the

00:25:12.460 earth that needs to be scratched off and healed you know which is not what conservatives think this is what

00:25:16.120 progressive things but what i will say is there is a category of people who sees their entire life

00:25:22.720 about exercising power over those they see it's weaker than themselves that's their entire goal

00:25:28.720 everything is about how do i exercise power as cruelly as i can upon others and how could i use the

00:25:35.220 bureaucracy to accomplish this this is what karens are this is what the karen crusade is about

00:25:42.040 and this is what led to this i do not believe that anyone involved in any stage of this was

00:25:48.700 genuinely like how do i make the world a better place karen you're back i'm here to see the manager

00:25:55.220 you you you you you can't be here oh can't i no no the consumer rights act says that i can now get me 0.99

00:26:02.980 the manager i demand that you listen listen to everything that i say oh you are a useless 0.99

00:26:08.100 this employee look at you i don't know where he is you've got the slightest idea what is going on 0.97

00:26:11.760 here look at you now this is what you call customer service is that what it's become i'm sorry

00:26:19.080 where is the manager

00:26:20.600 there you are

00:26:24.760 what is this this is your undoing no this is impossible call yourself a manager

00:26:35.560 we are gonna tell everyone about this i want to complain about the state of the store and the

00:26:44.240 horrible service that we have had to deal your hair disgusts me you have far too much makeup on 0.58

00:26:49.540 that louis vuitton is a fake how dare you you take me back her hair is fabulous yuck yuck yuck 0.99

00:26:58.560 adam rowan i have them in a temporary rage paralysis

00:27:02.620 sorry i'm trying to get a word in edgewise like she's not letting me girl girl i've given you so

00:27:09.560 many opportunities to fall asleep you've resisted okay i disagree i think that this was them kind of

00:27:18.340 like how martha stewart was used as this prominent i'm going to make an example of you because you're

00:27:23.060 famous and we're going to use this to show you that you know like no one's above the law and to get

00:27:27.080 everyone to pay attention to our rules which we want more people to be aware of and they also do

00:27:32.160 want to promote wild animal ownership among people and this was a prominent you know with with a lot

00:27:37.540 of followers person who is making it look really cool to own things like squirrels and and probably

00:27:43.100 i bet the raccoon featured in some of this content as well and that that is dangerous it's not it's not

00:27:47.900 a good idea unless you really know what you're doing and he really knew what he was doing but he was

00:27:50.560 also kind of influencing people who don't know what they're doing but squirrels are not dangerous to

00:27:54.220 own that's the thing yeah squirrel squirrels i i imagine are quite fine i mean people own all sorts

00:28:01.020 of animals that do things to hurt family members and other animals and their owners but i'm just i'm

00:28:06.960 trying to say how i think this could happen with well-meaning people i do think the person who called

00:28:11.180 this on him well again you know the people who call cps on us do care about children do think we're

00:28:17.480 hurting our children no they don't they care about enforcing their cultural value system and

00:28:22.560 they have deluded themselves into thinking that equates to caring about children yeah but i mean

00:28:26.660 like your own mother was like oh you don't spend a million dollars a year on them you're mistreating

00:28:32.020 your children and like you know people come on you understand that it's an unrealistic expectation

00:28:38.680 i do but i'm just saying that those people don't realize those people don't realize that those people

00:28:43.860 just genuinely believe that these unrealistic standards are must be met or the children are

00:28:48.980 being brutalized you know what i mean all i'm saying is that everyone involved in the peanut the

00:28:54.400 squirrel massacre needs to be rounded up they need to be arrested and they need to be court-martialed

00:29:00.940 that that is something that i think the next trump administration needs to handle

00:29:08.080 people need to understand you cannot you cannot do this bs i will say that what they did was

00:29:14.420 messed up and i don't it's not messed up it's evil in the extreme and it's evil and any reasonable

00:29:20.320 person would have known it was evil yeah that many people to raid someone's house you know it's one

00:29:27.540 thing to be like hey dude like i i don't know do you know what the rules are like what rule was this

00:29:33.740 man supposedly violating no rule no rule so you're allowed to own so what yeah you're allowed to own

00:29:40.600 squirrels you're allowed to own raccoons these aren't illegal to own then then can he sue like

00:29:47.560 on what grounds could they go in and do that somebody said this guy was being naughty this is about

00:29:53.480 authoritarianism overriding the rights of the individual yeah well i think that's another reason

00:29:59.760 to keep the state on both the national and local level as small as possible because it can be

00:30:05.560 abused as soon as it's too big and that's just not not okay the more the more that the state or any

00:30:12.940 bureaucracy could be used as a cudgel against people the the worst things get oh my god give up and fall

00:30:19.740 sleep you know you want to oh you know you want to you're resisting it so much oh she's the worst i love

00:30:30.700 her so much i love her children don't worry i'll come and be here for you people will think that

00:30:37.960 you're not kidding i this is and then we'll have cps called on this again uh i love you it's time

00:30:45.380 for dinner i'm excited for dinner i'm excited to be married to you i'm excited to live a life with

00:30:51.120 you oh by the way don't forget to cut up the long hot pepper i got from the grocery store

00:30:55.260 for the fried rice okay so you want me to redo the fried rice with the long hot

00:30:59.340 not redo i mean you're reheating it anyway just yeah i'm yeah i'm reheating well i'm gonna do a small

00:31:04.800 batch for the kids i have to do two pans then because there's a non-spicy pan for the kids

00:31:08.680 just do it however you want whatever is easiest i love you what if i what if i made a ramekin full

00:31:15.160 of the spiced up long hot but it wasn't so what i do is take about a quarter of the long hot

00:31:19.720 cut it into very small pieces very small and then we can dust it on top of my

00:31:25.600 part of the fried rice yeah at the end okay just one quarter of it yes okay oh now i'm not looking

00:31:35.280 for something that spicy you're not even going to get that much you know but by the way the story

00:31:39.800 of peanut is it worse than you thought from what you had heard no i'd heard all of those things i

00:31:46.480 well the one thing i hadn't heard was how many people were involved and that is insane also just

00:31:53.000 like even if you don't care about peanut even if you don't care about this guy even if you don't

00:31:57.700 just the the government waste our tax dollars i mean well new yorkers tax dollars but still

00:32:03.760 i'm glad i live in new york i'll tell you that would you consider oh i'm so pissed now you fall

00:32:10.200 asleep the struggle session of these podcasts with irritable indy who needs to take a nap and the

00:32:18.040 very freaking end she's out it's sweet by the way oh i mean and now i don't want to get up because

00:32:27.380 now she's all snuggled what these children are so i'm sorry our children are a constant pain in

00:32:36.140 their life oh she's so sweet oh my god okay but yeah that you have to consider you know these people

00:32:43.680 are getting pensions these people like government workers are actually quite expensive because they

00:32:48.000 typically have full benefits they have pensions they they have insurance like oh it just and you know

00:32:54.220 probably they have some kind of car that they're driving around in like this is just a huge waste

00:32:58.620 of money so it's even egregious in that perspective and it really bothers me we do with our the business

00:33:05.940 that we run that's our only paying day job that we're about to voluntarily leave which good luck to

00:33:14.140 us right we do these rfps we respond to requests from various types of governments and government

00:33:22.700 funded entities to do their travel management and our business responds to them saying here are our

00:33:28.280 prices here are our services and we'll have these calls where it's just like really simple questions

00:33:34.960 that they they want to ask us and like eight people will be on the call and we'll take a whole

00:33:40.960 like hour to talk about it and seven out of the eight people are doing absolutely nothing and i'm

00:33:48.000 just thinking about just okay i'm like counting up like well kate's probably costing them an average of

00:33:52.700 fifty dollars per hour per person like this call cost you know let's you know seven times fifty

00:34:00.600 like why are you doing this like that this the amount of money that was just wasted for something

00:34:09.320 that you could have emailed me about is yeah uh so yeah that that stuff keeps me up at night just as

00:34:17.900 much as tragic squirrel stories for sure but i love you too final piece of advice maybe i could ask you

00:34:27.820 to share is okay if people are using the government as a cudgel to hurt families they're calling cps on

00:34:34.920 families they're calling you know animal services on on families you know this is the new swatting

00:34:39.920 what should people be preemptively doing to protect themselves if raids are now the a weapon being used

00:34:48.720 just so little you can do and what you haven't seen is that we have been protected because we are

00:34:54.040 you know like a heterosexual married couple that is if you're like a single guy the first time you get

00:35:00.340 cps called and get the kids get taken away yeah 37 percent of american kids have had cps called on

00:35:06.000 them well then maybe i kind of feel like a disaster preparedness fan a plan that people need to have

00:35:12.960 i know in this what i've done recently of say i'm not going to taking my kids in public parks anymore

00:35:17.280 i'm not putting them around public people anymore it is too dangerous well but also like have a lawyer

00:35:23.940 that you are ready to call who knows who you are but also know your rights in your state and be

00:35:30.880 prepared to say like you are not allowed to do this because i think a lot of what's happening is is

00:35:36.880 people are letting groups into their house not knowing what's going on true simone in the case of

00:35:43.440 peanut they had a search warrant they had a search you are you are misunderstanding how powerful just

00:35:49.420 well i'm trying to think of what you know like all you can do is prevent them from seeing you if you

00:35:57.380 don't have the power to resist so you're just saying people need to be secretive and hidden

00:36:06.020 with us we are only comfortable doing this because we have the power to resist the people who may attack

00:36:13.460 us you mean you mean all the guns that's not going to help it's not the guns i mean the public profile

00:36:22.220 the number of impactful and successful friends who could influence government policy if somebody

00:36:28.080 attempts to take one of our kids from us if cps comes here and they say oh we're going to take x kid

00:36:33.740 or y kid we would win them back in two weeks yeah it would be we we know the press to contact we know

00:36:41.880 how to make a story go viral your average person doesn't know that if they take their kids their

00:36:48.400 kids are taken yeah we'll do a separate episode on this because they love taking children from people

00:36:53.460 this is like a mainstream thing at this point yeah which is is it's it's extra disturbing because

00:36:59.880 the people who work for child protective services or you know whatever child services entity there is

00:37:06.680 these are people who genuinely care about children um we work with some what i'm saying malcolm is the

00:37:13.780 ones that i've met and we've worked with them both as service providers and as people like the people

00:37:19.400 who come to our house these are people who really care about the well-being of children and these are

00:37:24.180 groups that like for example child protective services in our area primarily is just distributing

00:37:29.560 food and clothing and diaper aid to families of limited needs oh my god simone you buy into their

00:37:36.260 bs it takes one totalitarian bad apple to start taking children for people it's true but what i'm

00:37:42.660 saying is when people are doing that they're also taking resources away from families that it could

00:37:47.600 actually benefit from the services i don't disagree with that but you just need to be much stricter about

00:37:53.640 these organizations and you need to clean them out like taking off a flamethrower to them you can't 0.75

00:37:59.660 have any disregard people like oh i've been with this organization for 25 years fuck you how many 0.96

00:38:05.340 kids have you taken compared to other people's kids count this should be easy to count same with this 0.96

00:38:12.260 people are not fully considering this because there's people like you who say oh many people these

00:38:22.000 organizations are doing this right i the people that these organizations are doing this right

00:38:26.240 are looking forward to the flamethrower day

00:38:28.880 that's fair and i i think that that's something that we see when we bring up this message i think

00:38:41.480 it's the same for like effective altruism is it when we talk about effective altruism needing a really

00:38:47.760 big reckoning pretty much everyone we know who's a real effective altruist is like i 100 agree we

00:38:54.080 need to clean house rda.org by the way check it out yeah that that's the same with many of these

00:38:59.240 organizations where people come in same with teaching schools right like we know a lot of really amazing

00:39:05.020 teachers who are like burn it down like i came here wanting to help kids and i'm prevented from doing

00:39:10.220 so every single day and that's i think that's the message i just i don't want people to come away

00:39:14.640 thinking that we hate government workers or that we think that they're bad people i think that

00:39:19.400 they're in systems that have become inherently corrupted and i think that they know better than

00:39:23.440 everyone else what needs to be done to clean them up but they're kind of prevented from doing so

00:39:28.300 oh you're so understanding simone this is why everyone wants you to be president and not me

00:39:31.820 everyone knows that you would never go crazy with power i'm too autistic for that i love you

00:39:40.900 i love you today you too good day sir i i said i said good day no i said i said i said i said i said

00:39:51.040 the little son toasty does i said i said i said i said

00:40:17.640 i'm not sleep for like but you can't sleep because then there's the kids like i really probably would

00:40:23.480 sleep for like a good 24 hours if there weren't like how about this this weekend can i take the kids

00:40:29.160 for you and let you sleep for 24 hours no because then i'm going to spend 24 hours awake cleaning the

00:40:34.040 house to deal with the the aftermath but i would i would love extra support this week just really

00:40:40.800 tired but i love you so much and obviously everyone knows you got the better i got better

00:40:45.140 the deal the pretty one you are the you are you are irreplaceable you could buy with money every

00:40:53.300 single thing that i do somebody explain this to me i actually think my wife is pretty hot like 1.00

00:40:58.020 but we get males like she she has a face that can sink a thousand ships malformed yeah all those 1.00

00:41:06.160 things genetically defective and they're only talk about you in this way yep no they're like malcolm

00:41:11.880 they're like they're just like whatever malcolm but simone the malformed genetically defective 1.00

00:41:20.060 woman who can sink a thousand ships with her disgusting face pseudo face oh my god you seem 1.00

00:41:28.480 normal to me well thank goodness right i don't like the way i look that's that's why it hurts you know 0.98

00:41:35.360 it if i were like stunning and i'd be like oh you know that doesn't offend me but it hurts because

00:41:44.240 i look in the mirror and i cringe you know i'm like well god like why do you have to complain i'm i have to

00:41:48.760 look in the mirror every day this is not fair but anyway you don't want me talking myself down so

00:41:54.700 i'm the best everyone knows that you're you're great no i mean i don't like it when you talk

00:42:00.340 yourself down in terms of your prominence i you know if you're talking about your looks or something

00:42:04.280 like that well here here's the thing i here's what i'm going to put down i think that the way that i

00:42:09.900 look is going to actually be at a premium in a post ai world because in a post ai world and

00:42:16.740 especially with filters and everything else now there is going to be value put on clearly real

00:42:24.200 human forms that are flawed because you know that they're genuine and also they're the only thing 0.61

00:42:31.620 you're going to see like this sort of homogenization of faces you can already see it when you have like

00:42:38.280 ai create images of humans they all kind of look the same when you see like when i scroll through

00:42:42.880 instagram everyone kind of looks the same and people who look weird are going to stand out and

00:42:49.560 it is the standing out that makes you memorable you look that year weird as a 40 year old woman

00:42:54.960 who's had i'm not oh my god ouch i'm 36 i'm almost 37 as a okay wait as a mid 30s i mean you've made

00:43:04.180 your own point malcolm okay i just i don't know what else to say as a mid 30s woman who's had four kids

00:43:10.040 i think that you look spectacular and honestly the only two odd things about your face

00:43:18.360 if i'm gonna be honest here it's your nose a little big i think by a lot of people's standards

00:43:25.580 they'd be like oh that's a jewish nose and it's like yeah very jewy and the other is your mouth 0.95

00:43:31.040 like mine is gigantic thanks i'll tell you a funny thing no so a lot of people don't realize

00:43:40.300 how much people's mouths change in size
