5 min readThe Zizians: A Transgender Death Cult and the Dangerous Logic of Effective Altruism
In a Texas mailbox near you, a full-color pamphlet addressed directly to "the students of the household" offers guidance on emancipation, out-of-state medical care, and finding a "found family" of adults ready to help—all without parental involvement. The return address traces back to a UPS mailbox in Houston, registered through a shell company in Sheridan, Wyoming. The Texas-based organization listed as a resource says it didn't send the mailer and doesn't know who did.
This is where Glenn Beck starts his conversation with journalist Andy Ngo, who has spent years tracking the intersection of trans ideology, violent extremism, and a philosophical movement called effective altruism. Ngo's new book, The Zizians, documents a trans-identifying death cult that has left at least eight people dead—and he argues it's not an isolated anomaly.

Glenn has a message for conservatives planning to sit out this year's midterms, laying out worst- and best-case scenarios and, for argument's sake, explaining why not voting will still only make matters worse. Glenn sets the record straight on his views on the Bubba effect, as many seem confused about whether the Bubba effect is sometimes a useful tool or a dangerous precedent. Glenn also looks to the literary classic "A Tale of Two Cities" by Charles Dickens as an example of how grievances tell you what to destroy but not what to do afterward. A leaked ad from Ohio Republican gubernatorial candidate Vivek Ramaswamy's campaign is under fire for highlighting the mother of his opponent, Amy Acton, who accuses her daughter of being a habitual liar. Glenn discusses the Minnesota rapper who went to France to join the escalating riots, where he also encouraged Americans to follow suit. Glenn and Jason discuss the mystery of how millions of Texas families received transgender education pamphlets addressed to their children, but nobody knows who actually sent them. Journalist Andy Ngo joins to discuss what he has learned about the bizarre, Mason-like world of the Zizians, a radical transgender cult-like group.
