Two opponents, both alike in wit…
He’s nuts.
“I DID NOT CONSENT TO BEING FILMED!” he’s just exercising his rights as a foliage-dwelling american.

Evil RATS with tails.
I don’t think squirrels growl like that unless they’re really scared, and I’ll bet this one has a nest of babies nearby, maybe right on the deck.

At least it’s not a Rodent Of Unusual Size
Sure, it looks bad. But what we DON’T see is what happened before the beginning of the video, when the guy was acting like a nut.
Given that he announced the squirrel attack before it happened, and the nature of the response, I’m wondering if this squirrel was used to being fed, and this was its “where nuts? you give nuts!” behavior.
Simple explanation, the squirrel went in one day while the house owner was cleaning the frames, so the screens were up and had left a window open, the squirrel hid some acorns under his couch, winters on its way after all and now he wants them back.
