She further expressed her discontent with the current political environment, saying, “I don’t understand why. Like the news, the sirens aren’t going, you know, Warning, warning, Will Robinson break glass? In case of emergency, break glass. It’s an emergency. Like, it’s an emergency. Everybody’s just going on, like it’s not nothing.”

O’Donnell then directed her frustration at the Democratic Party, calling them “disappointing.” “The Democrats have been disappointing, to say the least,” she said. Despite her displeasure, she acknowledged the difficulty of discussing politics in the current climate, stating, “How can you not in today’s political culture? How can you not? Very difficult, very difficult for everybody, I think, all sides of the equation, you know, and the people who voted for Trump with the hopes, with the hopes of lowering prices.”

During her video, O’Donnell also made a reference to Brian Williams’ appearance on Seth Meyers, describing him in an amusing light, before turning her attention to a more light-hearted moment involving squirrels in her garden.

As the squirrels approached her, she said, “Down to the talking down to the Hello baby. Come here. There you go. You can get it. Want me to entice you more? I’ll put down another one. That’s two. This little guy is shy, right there, this guy, Hi, little friend. I Good job. Hope you got to see that.”
