Speaker 1 (00:00):
All right, welcome back in Jimmy Lakey if you want
(00:01):
to contact me, Jimmy Lakey at iHeartMedia dot com. Jimmy
Lakey at iHeartMedia dot com. You know some stories you
you just feel like you can't make them up. I mean,
you couldn't draw up a script. This stupid. But something's
happened in reality and you go, wow, New York authorities
(00:25):
killed Peanut the squirrel and they killed a raccoon and
it was a five hour almost I almost picture like
a no knock raid. It was almost as if they
were arresting a Trump official or something. It was crazy.
Peanut the Squirrel's dead and say that it's not funny
because this was a very bellow pet. And internet following
(00:46):
TMZ has the story Owner rips New York over seizure
and killing. The abuse of power is to not May
we have a rest in peace, Peanut the Squirrel. Let
me bring into the program because there is a big
issue besides just a death of Peen of the Squirrel.
Arren McIntyre's the author a book called Total State, How
Liberal democracy has become tyrannies and Arren is on the hotline.
(01:08):
He's also a contributor and report with the Blaze News
Aarren walking to the show, sir, how are.
Speaker 2 (01:12):
You doing well? Thanks for having me.
Speaker 1 (01:15):
Let's dive in here. It's a weird headline. A peanut
the squirrel. Peanut was quite beloved, had an Internet following,
and had been really rescued from a dangerous situation taking
care of this family that runs an operation of a
pet rescue, and they also had a raccoon and a
New York authority show up. Give us the background of
(01:36):
this story and what does it tell you about the
state of New York.
Speaker 2 (01:40):
Yeah, obviously, like you said, this guy, Mark Longa's operating
a animal rescue apparently had a good Internet following. The
scroll was quite popular on Instagram. It kind of feels
like an echo of that kind of Harambe, you know,
if you remember that meme, you know, with the gorilla
ended up begin getting killed. These stories will impact people
(02:04):
in a way that unfortunately sometimes humans suffering won't. Because
there's a cute animal involved. Like you said, it's kind
of funny but also tragic simultaneously, obviously because the animals
are dead. But it really highlights just the anarco tyranny.
As Sam Francis called it that we live under a
guy who is just running an animal rescue, trying to
(02:24):
do something good for his community and for animals. He
ends up feeling the brunt of the state. They come in,
they raid his house like it's some kind of FBI
lockdown or something. They take the animals, they kill them. Meanwhile,
you look at the rest of New York, especially in
New York City, they're in a bad way, right. You've
got a lot of shoplifting, You've got a lot of crimes,
(02:44):
you got a lot of vagrancy, legal immigrants living on
the streets because they can't house them after them being
shipped in. These are all massive problems in the state
doesn't seem to have time or interest in solving them.
But they are willing to break in and kill a
squirrel for what seems like almost no reason.
Speaker 1 (03:02):
I saw an interview with this Mark Longo guy. He said, listen,
it's not like we were hiding it. Were not like
we're trying to say we don't have this animal. We've
had it for many years. And he said, but when
they broke into the house with this raid, they held
him back, they wouldn't let him go in it was
feeding time for his rescued horses. They wouldn't even let
him feed the horses because maybe he was going to
plan an escape on horseback. I don't know. I mean,
(03:23):
it was just bizarre. You think of this is how
the allocation of taxpayer funding and government power is going
after some dude that just simply had a squirrel and
a raccoon. It seems like maybe if there was some violation,
maybe a citation or maybe a hearing a raid seems
to be extreme and then executing them as opposed to
(03:44):
finding another home for these animals if they were supposedly
not supposed to be this place.
Speaker 2 (03:49):
Yeah, again, we don't have every detail. Maybe it'll come
out that there was a good reason for this, but
right now that doesn't seem to be the case. And
as you pointed out, even if there was some kind
of problem with the animal, a simple inspection citation of
some kind should have been sufficient. It doesn't seem necessary.
The whole house was tossed. You know, it just does
not seem like it's like it's required. And ultimately this
(04:13):
highlights you know, this feels in some ways like a
silly story, but it highlights a much longer a larger problem.
You have Daniel Penny who is facing serious charges in
New York City for protecting himself and the lives of
people in a subway car. You know, And if you're
the person who steps up and tries to defend people,
then you're the one that's going to jail in New York,
(04:35):
not the offender. They have to be left alone, they
have to be allowed to terrorize people, threaten people. But
if you step up in that moment try to defend,
you're the problem. And again, that just speaks to the
anarco tyranny that people live under, where law abiding people
are punished for doing the right thing, trying to be helpful,
trying to help animals, trying to defend their neighbors, and
(04:55):
you know, criminals are just left to run free.
Speaker 1 (04:58):
I'm thinking girls so of images that came out a
few weeks ago of the jack booted thugs employed by
uh Tim Waltz that then governor of Minnesota. People are
just trying to step out on their own front porch
during the COVID season, and the jack booted thugs of
the State of Minnesota decided they were going to start
shooting paintballs and say get back in your house. Get
(05:21):
back in your house. And then Tim Waltz sets up
a hotline that says, hey, if you see your neighbor
having any fun or on their front porch, call this
hotline and nark out your neighbor. I mean, it's a
we can smile and say the you know, harambe pen
of the squirrel. But they there's similar actions taken towards humans,
(05:42):
and for some reason, they don't shock our sensibilities as
much as peanut the squirrel does.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
Yeah, exactly. And this is what I write about my book,
The Total State, is the way in which the events
of COVID completely blew my mind and completely changed the
way that I understood government power. You know, I grew
up with and to Rush Limbaugh and learning in Civics
class that the Bill of Rights and the separation of
powers in the Constitution we're going to protect us from
government overreach. And then I watched what happened during the pandemic,
(06:11):
and it's like, oh no, this is not how power
works at all in the United States. And so really,
as you point out, these stories are kind of silly
or light hearted in a way, even though they're still
sad because of the animals dying, but that the you know,
that's the kind of thing. We'll wake people up from
a stupor of a state that has been you know,
growing and an exponential rate for a very long time,
(06:32):
consuming liberties that were never meant to be anywhere near,
you know, the hands of people in charge in the government.
But because our state has moved in many ways beyond
the formal government and now the power excudes us to
places like media and academia, social media companies. Instead, what
we end up with is a total state where everything
(06:52):
is constantly watched and surveilled. Even try to rescue an animal,
you know, ultimately the state will come and try to
punish you for it.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
All right, MacIntyre, author of the book called The Total State,
How Liberal Democracy has become Tyrannies Or if somebody wants
to get a copy of the book or follow you,
first of all, where do they go?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
Well, thanks for having me. I've got my show on
Blaze TV. It's also a podcast and on YouTube it's
The r McIntyre Show. And of course my book is
available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble Books a Million, or
you can order through your favorite local bookstore.
Speaker 1 (07:23):
Tomorrow's election day, and obviously a lot of us hear
these stories and say, I'd like to move away from
this total state. I'd like to move away from this
march towards killing pen of the squirrel, of shooting paintballs
at people on the porch. Is tomorrow an important day? Yeah?
Speaker 2 (07:38):
Obviously we've already heard directly from Kamala Harris that she
is looking to in free speech as much as possible.
She's talked about the need to crack down on social media.
In fact, she is coordinating with the labor government of
the UK in the attempt to destroy you on musk Twitter,
which I don't think is getting anywhere near enough attention
by people. She is already working with foreign agents in
(08:00):
and is interested in stopping our ability to share news,
share information and make decisions for our country. So I
think it's pretty significant when you're looking at someone like
this on the ballot, whether they're going to get in
power or not.
Speaker 1 (08:12):
Arn McIntyre again The Blaze watches a show on Blaze
