00:01:00.000 And this is also in the context now of what appears to be like a crisis in trans violence where February is not over yet and we've had now three trans shootings in North America.
00:01:15.760 Over the weekend, another trans shooter allegedly fired upon a border patrol agent at the Canadian border.
00:01:27.420 This attack is shockingly similar to another trans shooting last year in Vermont.
00:01:32.980 We have a great, great, great sponsor for today's show.
00:01:36.820 It is Rumble Wallet.
00:01:38.780 Oh my gosh, we love Rumble Wallet.

00:03:14.380 Hello, Andy.
00:03:15.060 Hello.
00:03:15.220 Well, thank you so much for coming on.
00:03:16.820 I think 99% of everyone in the audience is very familiar with who you are, but for those three people who aren't, could you give them a quick intro of who you are and what you do?
00:03:25.160 I am a journalist who reports on Antifa, transviolence, and the extreme far left.
00:03:31.480 Absolutely.
00:03:31.940 Well, I appreciate you so much for coming on.
00:03:34.360 Obviously, your sub stack, no comment, fantastic.
00:03:38.060 Everyone needs to be subscribed, quite frankly.
00:03:39.440 It's one of the best reads on the internet.
00:03:40.620 But you put out this piece regarding this situation in New Hampshire, obviously the shooting of a border patrol agent.
00:03:48.600 And again, the alleged suspect in the shooting, again, was trans.
00:03:53.660 This is all, again, alleged, but it was trans.
00:03:56.020 And in the article, you kind of explain this Zizian death cult, and you kind of tie it back to the shooting last year in Vermont.
00:04:02.340 You're saying, look, there's a lot of similarities here.
00:04:04.260 There's a lot of indications that this Zizian death cult could be involved.
00:04:08.140 Could you break down kind of what you know so far and sort of this trans element in these shootings?
00:04:12.920 So what happened is on the 21st of February, in very rural, remote area of New Hampshire, in a town called Pittsburgh, there was an incident involving a, not alleged trans person, natural trans person.
00:04:28.340 There's documentation of gender identity changes.
00:04:32.020 A suspect named Lou Daly, that was the chosen name.
00:04:36.580 And this person is accused by the federal government of trying to, trying to kill a border patrol officer firing upon him.
00:04:44.760 And in the shootout, getting seriously injured, that suspect is still in hospital receiving treatment.
00:04:51.140 However, he has been federally charged with attempted murder of a federal agent.
00:04:55.940 Now, this has some eerie similars to an incident that happened on Inauguration Day a year ago, about an hour away in neighboring Vermont,
00:05:05.320 also right by the Canadian border, where two transgender members of a trans death cult were involved in a shootout.
00:05:14.020 One of them, a German national, died at the scene.
00:05:17.360 A border patrol officer was murdered.
00:05:20.860 His name is David Marland.
00:05:23.140 And an American woman from Seattle named Teresa Youngblood, who used the name Milo, was injured but survived.
00:05:30.700 And she's been charged with murder, assault with a deadly weapon.
00:05:35.740 And federal prosecutors in New Hampshire are looking at if there are any possible links between Mr. Blue Daly, birth name Colin Zeke, by the way,
00:05:47.860 with what happened in Vermont, given how there's just so many similarities.
00:05:53.840 And this is also in the context now of what appears to be like a crisis in trans violence, where February is not over yet.
00:06:05.220 And we've had now three trans shootings in North America, what happened in British Columbia earlier this month, and then Rhode Island, and then now this.
00:06:15.660 I mean, it's really, it's unbelievable seeing this escalation.
00:06:20.120 We had Libby Emmons, obviously, the post-millennial. 0.95
00:06:22.320 She was on yesterday.
00:06:23.580 And we were kind of discussing what's going on in the trans community where they, again, you're seeing an escalation in violence.
00:06:30.200 It's really a disturbing situation.
00:06:32.620 But obviously, you brought up there's sort of some organized elements going on with some of these incidents, these trans violence incidents.
00:06:39.600 I mean, obviously, the one in Rhode Island seems to just kind of be out of nowhere, that sort of thing.
00:06:43.200 But specifically with the Zizian death cult, that's a lot of interest to people because they hear the name, but they don't really know too much about it.
00:06:49.660 Could you maybe expand on what's going on if there's like a degree of organization with some of these shootings?
00:06:54.860 You know, obviously, some online, they're interacting with people online, these sorts of things.
00:06:59.920 The so-called Zizian death cult is named that because the leader of the cult is a trans person who uses the alias Ziz.
00:07:08.640 Now, there's seven members in custody across multiple states across the U.S., and they are linked to at least eight violent deaths, really brutal stuff.
00:07:22.580 So there was a Border Patrol agent who was shot to death.
00:07:25.820 And then just a few days before that, there was an elderly witness and victim who was set to testify at a attempted murder trial in California.
00:07:38.080 And he was assassinated by knife by the husband of the person who's been charged federally in the Vermont shooting.
00:07:49.440 So there are all these links and killings and suicides happening across the U.S.
00:07:54.140 Basically, their ideology is there are a group of rationalists, most of them who came to the Bay Area, Berkeley, Oakland, San Francisco.
00:08:03.540 And then they became radicalized around their transgender identity.
00:08:07.940 If you read, they were perpetually online.
00:08:10.540 So they left all these blog writings online.
00:08:12.780 You can see that they felt that the whole world was against them.
00:08:15.640 And this is a very common theme we're seeing with many of these trans extremists.
00:08:20.340 They leave posts online accusing this and that of transphobia, of basically the whole world being against them.
00:08:28.040 And it gives a justification in their minds quite often for violence, which is why we can see in even the mainstream messaging among transgender activists, 1.00
00:08:40.600 they're very quick to allude to violence and threats of violent retribution against people who they accuse of transphobia or being against trans rights.
00:08:51.660 And they view themselves, in their own language, as victims of transgenocide.
00:08:57.540 Therefore, anything they do is self-defense, including...
00:09:00.660 The 2026 Maverick with Ford Flex Bed Storage System.
00:09:05.000 For those that see more than a stack of lumber.
00:09:07.900 More than four empty walls.
00:09:10.980 More than just a blank page.
00:09:14.320 The Ford Maverick.
00:09:15.660 Made to fit.
00:09:16.740 Designed to flex.
00:09:18.300 Right now, get purchase financing from 4.99% APR for up to 72 months on all 2026 Maverick models.
00:09:25.420 Visit your Toronto area Ford store or Ford.ca today.
00:09:30.660 Injuring people, killing people, making them more death threats. 0.83
00:09:34.280 Yeah.
00:09:34.880 I mean, that's what's so disturbing when you see...
00:09:37.300 I mean, the one that jumps out to me was the Covenant Presbyterian shooting in Nashville.
00:09:42.660 I think it would have been two years ago now.
00:09:45.160 Immediately following the shooting, we had a lot of these trans activists come out.
00:09:47.680 And of course, they put out a brief condemnation because it's, you know, for PR.
00:09:51.740 But then they follow it up with like asterisk after asterisk after asterisk of, you know,
00:09:56.060 they're almost more concerned with the backlash against the trans community, whatever that
00:10:01.140 is, versus the actual situation that we're seeing, which is, okay, we are seeing an increase
00:10:05.260 in violence that needs to be addressed.
00:10:07.020 And then the backlash, so to speak, again, are just people really asking questions like,
00:10:11.320 hey, what's going on over there?
00:10:12.560 Why does this keep happening?
00:10:13.740 Can you guys maybe provide an explanation for us here?
00:10:15.860 And instead, it just, from what it seems like is sort of these people end up going into tighter
00:10:21.960 and tighter circles.
00:10:22.700 They tighten ranks more and more.
00:10:25.140 That, to me, just seems like it's going to get worse and worse.
00:10:27.320 I don't know.
00:10:28.200 Yeah.
00:10:28.640 And how that's particularly manifested, we can see this just in the last five years,
00:10:32.340 is that trans people and radical queer activists are being encouraged to take up firearms training,
00:10:38.300 stockpile weapons, coupled with an ideology of an anti-government ideology.
00:10:44.100 I would call them misandrist ideology, in that they are having a simmering hatred of resentment
00:10:51.600 against wider society.
00:10:54.040 And you brought up some of the reaction to the Nashville Covenant Christian school shooting
00:10:58.980 in which a transgender shooter, Audrey Hale, a female, one of the few female mass school 1.00
00:11:06.840 shooters, was transgender. 0.81
00:11:09.940 And the reaction to that was when there was a protest at the state capitol in Nashville
00:11:16.120 a few days after the shooting.
00:11:17.960 There was a memorial held by trans activists and queer activists,
00:11:21.580 and they held up seven fingers for the victims.
00:11:25.380 But there were six victims in the shootings, which I think was quite telling that they viewed
00:11:29.100 Ms. Hale as a victim, even though she was a perpetrator of killings of children
00:11:34.800 and those who worked up the school.
00:11:37.400 And they always speak about a fear of backlash, and the backlash doesn't come.
00:11:42.560 It comes in the form of common sense legislation, such as Kansas State,
00:11:47.500 just now putting into law that they are invalidating official documents like birth certificates
00:11:54.660 and driver's licenses that have been falsely altered with inaccurate information.
00:12:00.020 Most states in the U.S., particularly ones run by Democrats, allow people to self-identify
00:12:06.660 their gender identity, which means then those documents are inaccurate.
00:12:11.220 You know, somebody is born male or female, and if you go back and change it based on how
00:12:15.860 you feel for any particular moment, that birth certificate is inaccurate.
00:12:19.880 So Kansas now has a law, in effect, thanks to the Republicans in power there.
00:12:24.380 And this is now being brought out by trans activists as an example of transgenocide. 0.71
00:12:30.840 And of course, the big elephant in the room, which I'm sure the listeners and viewers are
00:12:34.680 thinking of, is what are the effects of cross-sex hormones on people who already have very,
00:12:42.140 very high rates of mental health and psychiatric disorders?
00:12:46.760 There's been research that's been done in the past.
00:12:49.040 We don't see it very much now, but the effects on the brain, on the male brain, for example,
00:12:55.220 when estrogen is introduced for an extended amount of time, they have a reduction in brain
00:13:02.600 gray matter, which has all sorts of effects on mood and other things that need to be studied.
00:13:10.460 In the past, when there was research, particularly on homicides, where there was a sexualized
00:13:17.060 violence angle to it, there were very high rates of people, the perpetrators who had genital and
00:13:24.780 gender dysphoria.
00:13:26.380 So in the literature, in academic literature, peer research studies I've been done in the
00:13:32.620 past, there's a lot of evidence that this is a community that has a lot of issues, let's
00:13:40.120 say. And now in the contemporary 21st century context, where they do have access very easily
00:13:49.260 to drugs and cross-sex hormones and guns and weapons, I think that may be partially what's
00:13:56.800 explaining this crisis we see of transviolence.
00:14:01.500 Now, you obviously keep an eye on everything internationally. I think it's safe to say you're
00:14:07.620 one of the best reporters around. Is this kind of a uniquely American, maybe even Canadian
00:14:13.140 issue? Or is this happening kind of broadly across Western civilization?
00:14:19.320 I live, I'm speaking to you from England, and there's a far left trans militancy in Western
00:14:25.100 Europe as well. It's broadly a Western phenomenon. It's a product of the accesses of liberalism.
00:14:31.120 However, what's happening in the US, and you could say to Canada as well, is that the trans 0.96
00:14:40.500 individuals in the US have easy access to firearms, which they can use to kill people,
00:14:47.060 mass numbers of people in some instances, whereas that type of variable is not in play
00:14:53.480 in other places.
00:14:54.520 Right. That makes sense. That makes sense. I guess when you see an attack on a border
00:15:00.640 patrol agent, that obviously indicates these people, obviously, there's a leftism component.
00:15:07.180 I mean, that's just obvious. It's Captain Obvious here, the leftism component. Is that what's
00:15:12.520 going on in these cults, the recruitment effort? Are they recruiting people that are just broadly
00:15:17.900 left-wing, that are sort of queer? Or is this specifically targeting people that have already
00:15:22.680 transitioned? Like, how does that specifically work? What kind of people are getting roped into
00:15:27.680 these operations?
00:15:29.720 So going back to the Zizi and Tron's death cult, their worldview was particularly left-wing. 0.87
00:15:37.840 Right.
00:15:38.000 It's clear in all the writings that were left by the alleged members of this network and cult.
00:15:45.800 They incorporated aspects of anarchist politics as well as just mainstream leftism as well,
00:15:51.680 particularly this grievance against what they say is Republicans pursuing agenda of fascism
00:15:57.840 and transgenocide against people like us.
00:16:02.360 I mean, that's just, it's just so disturbing that this is happening because to a degree,
00:16:06.300 it feels like there's not really that much the government can do about it. Because I mean,
00:16:11.420 if these are just happening again online, in these online communities, there's a, you'd kind
00:16:16.220 of feel a degree of helplessness. It feels like the issue is further up the chain. Again,
00:16:19.960 we need to address the implications of these, these hormones, um, that are, that are being
00:16:24.860 implemented. Um, perhaps having conversations around, you know, access to gen, gender reassignment
00:16:30.900 surgery broadly. I don't know if you think those are fair categorizations, but when I look at like
00:16:35.240 the trans death culture, I just don't see what the government can really do about that. 1.00
00:16:40.120 And of itself, it feels like the issue is a lot further up the chain.
00:16:42.980 You're right that policy discussions are up the chain. However, the first thing that needs to be
00:16:49.320 done is just having honest conversations about it. And we really aren't, I mean, other than people
00:16:55.080 reacting on social media, it hasn't been engaged with as a, as a real crisis by intellectuals, by
00:17:03.180 people who study all the components that are part of this, you know, we're talking about health,
00:17:07.840 mental health policies around access to weapons and a whole number of other things. So we can't
00:17:15.740 even take the first step because the first step is shut down as transphobia. And there's so many
00:17:20.840 parallels to what was happening two decades ago with, um, those who wanted to have discussions
00:17:26.820 about radical Islam. In some ways, I feel like you almost haven't made it.
00:17:31.540 Packages by Expedia. You were made to occasionally take the hard route to the top of the Eiffel Tower.
00:17:37.840 We were made to easily bundle your trip. Expedia made to travel.
00:17:45.740 Very little steps in that as well. You know, and we had 20 years to work on that.
00:17:50.840 That's what's so interesting now is seeing these, I guess you, I was talking to Libby about this
00:17:55.460 yesterday, these, these permission pieces that are coming out from like the Washington Post and
00:17:58.720 the New York Times where they're saying, okay, maybe we need like, maybe we've gone too far with
00:18:02.220 the trans thing, but we'd have a conversation about, you know, where's the line, you know, what age should
00:18:07.500 we be, you know, these sorts of things. They're having these permission pieces where now they're
00:18:10.320 kind of signaling to the left, hey, we might've gone too far. Let's start retracting a little
00:18:14.240 bit. Even Gavin Newsom, you know, came out a few days ago and was saying, this isn't, you know,
00:18:18.120 this isn't going to play in Peoria. We need to reshape our approach to the trans issue,
00:18:22.020 so to speak. Um, I think the most offensive thing to that would be to people that have already
00:18:26.380 transitioned and they're saying, Hey, wait a second. You just pulled the ladder up behind me.
00:18:29.860 I thought this was like the new thing. And then now you're again, now we're having a conversation
00:18:34.300 about it because it's not politically viable. I think that's the primary reason, but do you see
00:18:38.260 this as like a reckoning on the left? Or do you think that they're just saying this is a very
00:18:41.320 politically inexpedient policy to have? It's not a reckoning. It's, it's a little bit of progress
00:18:47.760 on one particular part of the story, which is around the medicalization of minors, which is not
00:18:55.520 the direct issue, I think, to the issue of trans violence, but it's connected to it in that some
00:19:01.880 of these, those who have been accused of or engaged in this mass violent have involved teenagers. Some
00:19:07.240 of them transition quite young, for example, like the Canadian trans shooter. And, um, there are a lot 0.98
00:19:14.660 of questions about why, why now, uh, the, some of the medical associations, some of the big ones,
00:19:21.260 there's been two who have spoken out saying, Hey, the, in terms of cosmetic procedures that should
00:19:28.200 be delayed until adulthood. I mean, I, you know, I'll give them a clap for that, uh, late, but I'm
00:19:35.380 glad they came to that. There was another one that followed up on that recommendation. Um, and you
00:19:40.360 know, I'm not, I, I support like coming on late is better than coming on never at whole. Sure. And I
00:19:48.040 think, you know, puberty blockers, despite what trans activists say about how the science is
00:19:54.180 outhold, um, science is real, um, on this particular, on their claims, it's, it's actually, it's not
00:20:00.400 settled. Puberty blockers being used, um, to treat, um, children with gender confusion is new. And so the
00:20:08.420 long-term effects aren't, aren't known. And during puberty, and just in terms of the physical development
00:20:14.800 of the body, that's where your bones develop the density that's needed for later in life.
00:20:20.260 It's a lot of brain development that happens through puberty. So, you know, you're playing
00:20:25.920 with like a lot of dangerous things when you're putting, um, children and, and young adolescents
00:20:32.820 on a delay of something that their body is supposed to go through in terms of developing into a healthy
00:20:39.420 human. You know, this is just, this is beyond the discussion about how they identify gender-wise.
00:20:45.220 It's about, um, physical health. Yeah, absolutely. I mean, it's, oh, I agree. I mean, like at least
00:20:52.080 the football is moving down the field, so to speak, I think, you know, again, to give them a little golf
00:20:56.120 clap here and there, but Andy, I know we're running out of time here. I really appreciate you coming on.
00:21:00.300 You're such a legend. So it's, I'm so happy to have you on. Where can people find you to get more?
00:21:04.840 Thank you. My reporting is at ngocomment.com. No comment. I also have a New York Times bestseller
00:21:12.240 that came out, um, in 2021 called Unmasked, and that's all about Antifa. Let's go. Thank you so
00:21:18.700 much, Andy. I'll catch you next time. My pleasure. Thank you.
