New Pictures Surface of Lance Twiggs & The Epidemic of Trans Violence
Jack Posobiec’s episode ties Trump’s economic policies—tariffs, deregulation, and energy reforms—to a 4% GDP surge and 130K January 2026 jobs growth, while framing border security as a wage-booster. Amid this, he links two mass shootings—Tumbler Ridge (6 dead, shooter Jesse Strang on HRT) and Charlie Kirk’s murder (involving "trans" ties)—to an alleged "epidemic of trans violence," citing online radicalization and hormone drugs as risks. New photos of Lance Twiggs, Robinson’s boyfriend, show him evading accountability in Texas, raising questions about his silence. The analysis suggests digital exposure and economic shifts may fuel instability, even in isolated communities. [Automatically generated summary]

This is what happens when the fourth turning meets fifth generation warfare.
A commentator, international social media sensation, and former Navy intelligence veteran.
This is Human Events with your host, Jack Posobiec.
Christ is king.
The president has always remained consistent in that he kicked Jeffrey Epstein out of his club at Mar-a-Lago because, frankly, Jeffrey Epstein was a creep.
And unlike many other people who are named in these files, President Trump cut off his relationship with Jeffrey Epstein and was honest and transparent about that for years and years.
The delayed January jobs report released just a few moments ago, and it shows that the United States economy added 130,000 jobs last month, far more than the 55,000 that was expected.
The unemployment rate also ticked down slightly to 4.3%.
Babies born between January 1st, 2025 and December 31st, 2028 are eligible for $1,000 investment accounts, similar to an IRA.
To qualify, the child must be a U.S. citizen and have a social security number.
Just within the past few hours, law enforcement has released a man detained for questioning in the search for Nancy Guthrie.
So an hour and a half ago, we got kind of a bizarre letter, an email from somebody who says they know who the kidnapper is and that they have tried reaching Savannah's sister, Annie, and Savannah's brother to no avail.
And they said they want one Bitcoin.
And as they put it, time is more than relevant.
At least 10 people have been killed in a school shooting in a remote area of Canada's British Columbia.
The incident took place at the Tumbler Ridge Secondary School.
A spokesman for the Royal Canadian Mounted Police said the shooter then turned the gun on herself.
The people of Tumblr Ridge remain in a state of crisis following one of the worst mass shootings in our provinces and country's history.
That includes the deceased gunperson.
Gunperson.
Ladies and gentlemen, welcome aboard today's edition, Human Events Daily.
We're here live on Real America's Voice.
Today is February 11th, 2026.
Anno Dominé.
Another day, another horrific incident of trans violence, this time all the way up in Canada.
And of course, we're breaking down all of the information, all of the investigations, this high school situation where multiple students killed, more injured.
And at the center of it all, another trans individual, the same type of horrific violence that we have seen ripping across Western civilization.
We've seen this type of violence in Canada.
We've seen it across the United States of America.
And of course, it was transgender-related violence that led to the murder of Charlie Kirk five months ago yesterday.
And that trial stands to begin here.
the first arraignment coming up in just a couple of months.
And so what are we to make of this epidemic of trans violence?
For months now, over a year now, we have called here systematically and consecutively and consistently at human events for a full FBI federal task force on the issue of trans violence.
It keeps happening again and again and again.
And for so many of these individuals, who we know, by the way, are on some type of hormones, some type of medical, chemical, brain-altering drugs, they are unstable.
And that instability leads to violence.
And that violence leads to innocent people getting shot and killed, murdered.
Daily Mail has now published new photos of Lance Twiggs.
And Lance Twiggs, supposedly, according to the Daily Mail, huge exclusive out from them, says the transgender lover of Charlie Kirk's alleged killer has finally emerged from hiding five months after the political assassination that stunned the world.
Lance Twiggs vanished overnight after his live-in boyfriend, Tyler Robinson, was unmasked as the gunman accused of shooting Kirk as he debated trans issues at Utah Valley University.
We're now being told that he's quietly rebuilding his life hundreds of miles away after reconciling with his strict Mormon family and relocating with them to Texas.
The Daily Mail continues.
Sources say he spends his days gaming online and reading fantasy novels, occasionally venturing out to grab takeout or run errands for his parents.
And there's photos of him carrying clothes, books, some sneakers into his four-bed dig, so it's into the home in the suburban neighborhood.
So you're seeing those photos.
You're seeing the books in his hand, Brandon Sanderson, who's associated with The Wheel of Time and other series that he's come out with in the fantasy, high fantasy genre.
What do we make of this?
What are we to make of this?
Is Lance Twiggs going to come out and come clean about what happened?
No, I can't answer any questions was his response when it came up.
Patriot Mobile Controversy00:02:15
No, I can't answer.
And yet there's so much information that has been out about this individual.
Chat logs, comments about his online activities, extreme sexual behaviors with Tyler Robinson.
And of course, the ultimate question of all.
Are you cooperating with authorities?
And are you or were you involved in any way in the assassination of Charlie Kirk?
We'll be right back.
Human events dude.

Sitting Tight on Warrant00:09:41
Huge developments, even overnight in the Nancy Guthrie case, the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie, a detention, more letters that have come out, man who was detained and then later released.
Wanted to go through all of that and bring us all up to speed.
And folks, we've got the best guest to be able to do so, Sheriff Mark Lamb right down from Pinal County right next door.
Sheriff, how are you?
I'm doing good, Jack.
Thanks for having me back on.
I appreciate the insight.
It's amazing.
I mean, we've got a subject matter expert like yourself, someone who stepped up.
You're running for Congress, but you're also lending your expertise to not just, obviously, the people of your state, but also the public writ large that is so much invested in this story.
I mean, this has really become a story that's, I think, taken the nation by storm.
And we will here at Human Events and Real America's Voice have something to announce on that.
I think tomorrow we're going to have a piece coming out, but I wanted to get your sense of just even in the last time since we've spoken, it really feels like the federal investigators that have come in now, Kash Patel visiting as well at the command center, the Tactical Operations Center, the talk that they've set up basically, that they've really been able to get a breakthrough in this case.
And they're getting a lot of traction from what we're seeing.
What's your read?
Well, look, the FBI is really good at this, and they should be brought in on a case like this because they have ability to go into phones and computers.
You know, we were told initially that there was no video or pictures from that camera, that it was unretrievable.
The FBI gets involved.
And then whether Google had it the whole time or whatever it was, they finally got somebody to release it.
And what should have been on the cloud or gone, it's kind of actually concerning on one end because they didn't even have a subscription yet.
This video still existed.
So that should be concerning a little bit.
But thank goodness in this case, it was still available and they were able to recover it.
And now I think that everybody feels like that we're finally starting to get some traction on this case and be able to get it moving in the right direction.
Well, so when you saw the video initially, what were some of your first indications?
What were some of your first observations, your analysis of something like this?
Did it seem like this was a professional job like so many were suggesting?
Yeah, you know, like you're in the Intel community.
As soon as I saw this video, I was like, okay, this is kind of a little bit more of a dog and pony show than what we had originally anticipated.
The way he carries his gun, that is a little weird.
Just his comfort level being in the doorway of somebody's home, knowing that a camera is filming him at the time, that's a little stands out to me as well.
And he was in no hurry.
You know, he wasn't like he just ripped the camera off.
He took time, went and grabbed some bushes, brought it back over.
This is a man who was very comfortable that he he was not going to be identified by that video camera.
Um, so those are some of the things that stood out to me.
But clothing backpack, the backpack appears to be full.
You wonder why that is the case uh, but there was a lot that to go off of in this video and I think there's some stuff that within his, even though he's wearing his mask, I think you've got some facial features uh, that you could go off of there.
My guess is, whoever this was has probably shaved his uh, mustache and little little Foo Manchu thing here uh, since then.
But this is definitely going to give them something to work with right yeah, and you'd think.
But I remember once, as you say, when I was in the intel community, I had this training that I was going through.
And we actually had a retired LAPD homicide investigator who was leading the training and gave us this scenario and, you know, a bunch of facts, basically a case, similar missing person case.
It was based on a real story.
And, you know, a bunch of us in the class came up with all sorts of different scenarios and what it could have been.
And and then he eventually told us the truth.
And I don't think any of us got it right.
This is, you know, first first year.
kind of one-on-one level.
And he comes in, he said, the problem you guys all have is that you think criminals are smart, but typically uh typically, it's not the smartest kind of people that turn to crime to profit in the first place.
And so we're sitting there going why would they make so many mistakes?
And he, he said, look, they all do.
They all do because they're not the smartest people to begin with.
And I think that's what you see on this video.
Yeah, don't subscribe to conspiracy.
What could easily be dismissed as incompetence.
You know, a lot of times you have criminals who are not very smart and what?
When I see this video, it makes me feel more less as if this was a kidnapping or an abduction or maybe just a burglary or some type of other crime that maybe just didn't go the way they thought it was going to go.
And then they had to make an adjustment on the fly.
Uh, with Nancy Guthrie, that would be not as good, because that, would you know, then she becomes a liability.
In that case i'm still very yeah, it's more like a home invasion that she was home for and maybe that this guy didn't know if she was going to be there.
Maybe he did, but uh, you know, this video makes it feel more like a burglary or a crime gone wrong.
What, what do you make of the sense that we only see one individual in the video?
And people suggested he could have had a vehicle.
I'm sure he had a vehicle, but that there may have been more people in the vehicle, but we really only see one person in that video?
I mean, is this the type of thing that when you see abductions, when you see kidnappings or those home invasions, do you really only see a single perpetrator?
You know, sometimes if you got a random criminal burglar, they could be a single perpetrator.
But when you're involving a another person, a kidnapping, now you're going to have to start to subscribe, you know, ascribe some of that to uh, a conspiracy which involves two or three people.
You might have had somebody down the road in the vehicle who was waiting to come pick him up, who was kind of monitoring uh, the traffic in the area.
You may have had somebody, Somebody else, giving him information about the house, or who would be at the house or where the cameras were.
My guess is, is there is more than one person involved here.
The one thing is, it's clear that this is probably the same person, but in some of the pictures, he has that gun from off his front waist.
And in the other pictures, he doesn't.
So, you know, there may be a slight possibility that you had two people dressed exactly the same, but I doubt it.
You know, this is probably going to be one guy who decided to eventually put the gun on when he was going to go in the house.
Right.
Or in fact, you know, he's got his hand on it.
It seems that he's walking up.
So it could be that he was fidgeting with it, moving it around.
Again, but something that also speaks to someone who's, you know, probably not been very experienced doing anything like this, probably not someone who's have had a history of these type of things.
And certainly, by the way, the first thing you check, of course, is, is the person home?
If this were in fact a home invasion.
Now, obviously, since then, we've had one detention, a situation where someone was looked at, a person of interest.
I think that was based off of a tip that came in, possibly matching facial features.
Now, as we move now into that phase of the investigation, should we expect to see more of these possible false IDs, these type of things that come up as more and more, I'm sure they're getting flooded with tips.
Yeah, I heard that they had gotten 10,000 tips since they released the videos that came in.
Imagine having to sift through all that information to decide what's real, what's not.
This is probably not the only guy they're sitting on.
I imagine they're sitting on four, five, six other people.
You know, what you do when you're trying to scare up the birds out of the brush, you send the dog in, and that tends to get the birds moving.
This traffic stop could have been that, could have pulled them over, make them uncomfortable, make them make a mistake at this point, call somebody, move Nancy from a location to another location.
This is what you start to do.
I'm not insinuating that this guy is involved.
They let him go back home, but that doesn't necessarily mean he's clear either.
And as far as the search warrant, people said, well, they were in and out of the search on the search warrant.
Well, to get a judge to sign off on a search warrant on something like this where it wasn't even his house, that search warrant is going to have a very limited scope.
And that scope was probably just to be able to go in and to see if Nancy Guthrie was in the residence or if they located any of the clothes involved with the pictures and the videos that we saw.
So I would highly doubt that a judge signed off on a broad search warrant on that house.
It was probably very limited in scope, which would have taken not much time at all to conduct that search warrant.
And so as you say that they're sitting on people, that phrase more than likely is, you know, as they're sifting through this information, because you've got to look for motive, means, and opportunity.
So, okay, this guy looks like him, but he was out of state, right?
So, you know, it's not going to be that guy.
Or this is a guy who, you know, doesn't work anywhere near there.
But now you've got, in this case, because he's someone who partially matches the description and worked as a DoorDash driver in the area, it kind of gives, it kind of hits all that.
Is that the sort of thing that investigators are looking at when they get these tips in?
Yeah, they're probably looking at tips.
They're probably looking at cell phone pings.
They're probably looking at Circle K video.
There's a lot of information that we are not privy to right now.
Blackout Coffee Clue00:02:57
I know we feel like we have all the information.
There is a lot of information that we are not privy to.
I will say that one of the challenges that they face is you have the Pima County Sheriff's Department.
You probably have some other units.
Then you have the FBI.
And making sure that they're all coordinated and that one's not jumping the gun over the other one is going to be very important at this juncture.
And so you don't know whether maybe they preemptively stopped this guy before they were ready to actually do it.
Um, and he jumped in a car.
Sheriff Lamb, we're up on a hard break, but let's get into that.
This communication between the locals and federal when we come back here at Human Events Daily.
You talk about influencers, these are influencers, and they're friends of mine.
Jack Posobiec.
Where's Jack?
He's done a great job.
All right, Jack Posobiec, we're back live here.
Human events daily, folks.

I'm a picky man.

Government Policies and Job Boom00:15:33
We're back on with Sheriff Mark Lamb, who's now also running for Congress in Arizona.
He's providing his expertise, his leadership stepped up when his public called in terms of law enforcement.
He's stepping up now in terms of leadership and he's providing his expertise as this investigation goes on in the disappearance of Nancy Guthrie.
Sheriff, I have to ask you: what are we to make of these ransom letters, these purported ransom letters, the Bitcoin?
There's a new letter out saying, oh, I've got information on the other letters.
Is it how do you vet in any way?
And I say this as a guy who was in intelligence.
I mean, how do you really able to vet any of this?
Yeah, you really can't.
And you have to just do the best you can.
These guys now, they have to take some of them pretty serious because what if they are real?
And you don't take it serious.
So this is a tough job.
I can only imagine how many fraudsters are showing up to this tragedy.
We see it all the time in the sheriff's office.
You know, there's constantly people trying to fraud other people.
They will take advantage of a situation like this.
Do not think the fraud, these fraudsters are above this just because of the nature of this situation.
So I've been dubious of these letters from the beginning.
I just, I find certain pieces of it odd.
And I just, I think this is a different type of crime as opposed to your traditional type of kidnapping.
And that seems to be what I think a lot of people are looking at because in a kidnapping, you'd want the money to be transferred as fast as possible.
The motive is financial.
So it's a business.
There's no reason to drag things on.
There's no reason to put the family through this much time because you just want the money and then you want to be able to get away without being caught.
The longer you wait, the higher the chances are of you getting caught.
And then on a more somber note, though, the lack of any kind of communication regarding proof of life, obviously, I think stands out as a pretty big red flag to a lot of people.
It does.
And it stands out as a red flag for me as well.
Like you said, if this was about the money, if you truly wanted the $6 million, it's very simple.
Send something showing proof of life, even if you sent it back through the media sources that they've been working with up until now.
That is a simple ask on the family's part.
It's also part of how we run these types of investigations.
So she's got a simple, that's a simple ask.
Show the proof of life.
And I think they would be a lot more inclined to make the Bitcoin transfer.
That is part of the reason why, just one of the reasons why I don't think these ransom notes are legit.
Something seems off.
I think something certainly seems off.
Sheriff, we talked before, you know, about the lack of coordination between the Pima County Sheriff's Office and federal investigators.
Now that the federal side has been fully deployed, fully activated, we're getting breakthroughs.
We're getting traction.
They were able to uncover this footage that the original sheriff said didn't even exist.
What are we to make of this?
I mean, it goes right in line with everything that President Trump has been saying about coordination with ICE, Border Patrol, as you pointed out, which operates in this very area every single day.
What are we to make of this lack of coordination early on?
You know, in law enforcement, one of the big things is you cannot let pride get in the way.
You've got a job to do.
You've got victims.
You've got suspects you have to find.
And you should be willing to use any resource.
And that in this case, the FBI, they're great at kidnapping cases.
They deal with these a lot.
They have a tremendous amount of resources, as I always, as I already mentioned, and they can bring the full weight, especially when President Trump is saying, you got all of our resources.
They can bring a lot of people in from a lot of different states to help in an investigation like this to help crack something.
Now, the challenge you face is we're not on the same radio systems.
You know, you do have these piss and matches in between these agencies.
I'm not saying this is going on right now, but it is inevitable that you're going to see some of that, some of this territorial issues.
Hopefully that's not the case, but it is natural to have that.
And then that creates some confusion, some lack of communication.
Maybe you move too fast on one thing when we wanted to hold a little bit longer.
So this is all going to be challenges that they're going to have to overcome, both from the federal, the FBI side, and of course the sheriff's office side.
Right.
And of course, it comes down to, you know, do you want to do the right thing or do you want to get credit?
Do you want, you're worried about media headlines, all the rest of it, to your point, which may lead to people wanting to jump the gun before something is fully fleshed out.
Sheriff Mark Lamb, that's all the time we have today for this.
Where can people go to follow you to get involved with the campaign?
And I strongly urge people to support Sheriff Lamb.
Just what a tremendous leader at a time such as this.
Well, Jack, I appreciate the kind words.
If you want to support me, go to marklam.us, marklam.us.
I would love to have your support.
All right, folks, Sheriff Mark Lamb, go give him a follow.
He's got the answers.
He knows this area like the back of his hand.
That's the kind of guy you want to put your support behind.
That's the kind of guy that you want fighting for you in the United States Congress or really just anywhere because he gets on the line.
I'll be right back.
Where is he?
Jack, I want to see you.
Great job, Jack.
Thank you.
What a job you do.
You know, we have an incredible thing.
We're always talking about the fake news and the bad, but we have guys, and these are the guys should be getting policies.
All right, folks, Jack Posobiec back here, Human Events, Daily Real America's Voice.
We're back at the lab back at headquarters here at Human Events.

Well, we're very excited now because this account and this report that's just come out about jobs in the United States is blowing up.
And the media is, of course, caught completely surprised, shocked, et cetera, et cetera.
Government payrolls down by another 42,000 jobs in January, a total decline of 10% since October 2024.
That was its peak under Biden and the Autopen.
Manufacturing sector, which was expected to lose 5,000 jobs, actually increased by 5,000 jobs in just January.
So that's a 10,000 job delta, actual jobs that are being added, thousands upon thousands.
Healthcare companies adding 82,000 jobs.
Construction firms, which means what?
Home building, adding 33,000 jobs.
And by the way, not too much construction going on in huge parts of the country in January when it's the middle of winter.
So that isn't even with the entire country under the, you know, in construction season.
And the financial sector did shed 22,000 jobs.
So, you know, it's a little bit off its recent peak in May, but you know what?
We're getting, we're talking about jobs for Main Street here.
And that's, so, you know, okay, Wall Street, you know, what are you going to do?
What are you going to do?
What President Trump has always said is this is about Main Street.
And an individual who has been telling us about that from the start is the Department of Treasury Senior Counselor, Joe Laverne.
Joe joins us yet again here on Human Events.
How are you?
Good, Jack.
Thanks for having me.
Well, I'm happy to look.
You know, you were on here many times throughout the past year telling us that just wait, just wait.
The tariff policies are going to come in.
We're going to see this jobs boom.
We're going to, and the targeted sectors that you always told us about, specifically were home building and manufacturing.
And those are seeing two absolute booms.
Why is it that the media didn't see this coming when you were right here on Human Events talking about it every single day?
Jack, first of all, let me say that President Trump instinctively, with his business background, really was at the forefront of what he expected to be a major turn in the economy.
And that's what we've seen.
It's not just the January dating.
It's some upward revisions to the prior months.
And it looks like the trend is higher, especially on the private side because we've kind of right-sizing the government.
Many people missed it, Jack, not just the sort of the mainstream media.
I'd seen something this morning, like 78 out of 80 economists missed the forecast.
But the reason to be upbeat, Jack, as you know, is the president prevented the largest tax hike in history from occurring in 2026.
He solidified those gains, those hard-fought gains that were from 2017.
But we had additional things, Jack, like the full expensing of capital expenditures, now the full expensing of structure.
So when we see stronger construction jobs, what we think after a decline, a sharp decline that began under the prior administration on manufacturing, which is now turning, you know, the tax policies and the growth policies are designed to work where we're now starting to see the early signs of this major recovery, which then makes us very optimistic on the outlook.
So he has a very good report.
No one really could spin it otherwise.
They could just choose to ignore it.
And there's very good income growth implied from this report.
In other words, take-home pay should start to rise much more significantly.
Obviously, opposite of what had happened in the prior administration.
And when we talk about this, it's really a situation where there are so many economists that were just running around saying, oh, this is never going to work.
It's not possible.
Tariffs are going to.
But but what they missed, and I think what so many of them missed and what President Trump understood, Secretary Besson, of course, backed him on this and put it in place was that the tariff policies were always going to be predicated on this idea of the United States as a premium market.
that all of those suppliers would, in fact, bear the cost and bear the burden of this because they want access to the U.S. market writ large.
And that's what we're seeing across the board, isn't it?
That's exactly right.
You need to, people need to think holistically about President Trump's policies, where you have deregulation, prudent business deregulation that removes burdensome regulations on companies that don't allow them to expand and, of course, hire people.
That gets married with cheap and abundant energy, because if you're going to build and produce items, goods, things that people want, you've got to have low energy costs.
You have to have low taxes, which the one big beautiful bill solidified.
Then the incentives that are in those taxes, and then a further incentive for tariffs.
In other words, if you tariff countries, that's going to encourage them to bring capital in.
And they're further incentivized by all those factors I just mentioned.
So everything works together in unison.
The president instinctively understands that.
And that's why we've had record amounts of capital commitments coming in from foreign countries, coming in from foreign businesses.
And this is why we believe we're at the start of a real industrial manufacturing boom renaissance.
And it's incredible to see.
Just anecdotally, I was reading Twitter yesterday and I saw this guy putting out that he had family members that worked in the manufacturing industry in Ohio.
And they said that they were having to turn down work because their plate was absolutely filled with different projects that they wanted to put in.
And they said, look, we're usually getting beaten left and right by the Chinese.
And yet here we are.
We can't even fill our orders.
We've hired to the hilt, and we, you know, they're possibly may even have to look at expanding just because the amount of demand is there.
And that's that's really what this is about, isn't it?
It's allowing American firms to actually be able to compete with what the foreign companies are doing.
And when they're able to do so, people will typically choose American.
So that's correct.
And that's why, you know, when you look at the last two official quarters, real GDP has grown 4%.
If you take the government out, which has actually been declining, growth is even stronger.
It's closer to 5%.
It looks like, according to the Atlanta Fed, growth was around 4% or close to 4% in the fourth quarter.
And typically we have those very strong GDP numbers.
You will get the hiring.
The fact that the president secured the border, you've eliminated a lot of illegal immigration.
That will put downward pressure on rents and housing costs.
And as you were alluding to with your anecdote, very interesting anecdote from Ohio, that ultimately will push up worker wages because you're going to tighten the labor market.
And as you tighten the labor market, those companies also will likely invest in training those workers.
So it really does, as the president says, become an America-first policy.
It all fits together.
And this improvement we've certainly seen in the last month with the employment data should be expected to continue and strengthen during the course of this year now that legislation that the president passed last year is complete.
And Jack, it needed to be done early in July to that President Trump wanted and Secretary Besson worked hard on getting.
That's incredible.
And, you know, I was with Secretary Bessett, and he talked about this back in Davos a couple of weeks ago.
And he told us that this was right around the cusp.
I think he may have been looking at some of the data, seeing some of this as the jobs were compiled.
Yeah, no, actually, no, he just has, no, I mean, well, we look at the data, but it wasn't like he, he, you know, he's obviously a very famous investor, and being a good investor means anticipating the future.
And he's had a great, made a great career in doing that.
But, you know, the policies, you know, look, these supply-side pro-growth policies, Jack, as you know, work very well in the first Trump administration.
So we took all the best things that were in the first administration.
And then the president, with the secretary's help and many others, helped push this through and added additional benefits.
For example, the expensing for factories, a company can now deduct full expensing for a factory that never happened before.
That will encourage the building and the boom.
A Small World Tragedy00:10:58
And hardworking Americans getting a no tax on tips, no tax on overtime, that will increase labor supply.
That will encourage more people to stay in the workforce, to work longer hours.
They make more pay.
Their living standards rise.
They produce more.
And that causes a disinflationary boom.
Growth doesn't cause inflation.
It actually helps push inflation down.
Well, and just in the last couple of seconds, I just realized the clock's getting away from me.
The Trump accounts, this is a total game changer.
They've gone out wildly popular, wildly popular for kids.
TrumpAccounts.com, Form 4547.
And Jack, they're so popular.
Without naming names, even people on the other aisle love it.
It's totally bipartisan.
We want people to understand the powers of compound interest.
We want to be able to make an investment in young boys and girls' future.
And this is just a wonderful opportunity for them to be part of the American system, live the American dream, and have financial security when they're adults.
Yeah, I remember, you know, my first communion, my grandparents giving me a savings bond.
This is sort of the modern version of that.
Joe Laverna, Secretary of the Treasury, senior counsel.
Jack is a great guy.
He's written a fantastic book.
Everybody's talking about it.
Go get it.
And he's been my friend right from the beginning of this whole beautiful event.
And we're going to turn it around and make our country great again.
Amen.
Jack Public back live, Human Events Daily.
want to get Libby Emmons in here now from the post-millennial to talk to us about yet another horrific example of the epidemic of trans violence now out of Canada.
Libby Emmons joins us.
Libby.
Yes.
Hello, Jack.
I'm here.
Well, so walk us through this, the situation.
Who was the individual?
What do we know about them?
And what's the current status in terms of the school, the victims?
So yesterday in a very tiny town, a very tiny mining town nestled in the foothills of the Canadian Rockies, an individual who has been identified as Jesse Strang went into the school, killed six people, injured 25.
Three of those were transported in critical condition to a hospital.
One of them died on the way.
It's been reported today that, and this is just, you know, on Twitter, this hasn't been confirmed by authorities.
Canada seems a little slow with that, but one of the victims has made it out of surgery, a little girl named Maya.
The school is the Tumblr Ridge Secondary School.
It's a high school in this town.
The town has maybe 2,400 people.
It's very small.
The school, the secondary school, is seventh grade through eighth grade.
I mean, seventh grade through graduation through senior year, seven through 12.
And it has about 160 students.
So it's an extremely small school and a very small community.
Police were called to the school, I think, about 1.20 p.m. local time yesterday, where they went into the school and cleared the school and found also the shooter dead from a gunshot wound that was self-inflicted.
So this is really a big tragedy.
And there have been some complicating factors in terms of getting to understand the identity of the shooter.
And a lot has been done by independent journalists in Canada who have gotten that information out because the CBC, which is the state-run media there, which is very pervasive, has been very uneasy about releasing details and has not released details.
So the victims are not known.
However, Amy Hamm, who is in the province where this happened, spoke about it on Twitter and said that she had been in previous years in a private Facebook group with the mother.
Now, Amy Hamm is a women's rights activist and she has worked really hard to preserve women's only spaces in Canada.
And that has been a losing battle for her, but she's been fighting anyway.
She said that she was in this private Facebook group with the mother and she believes that the mother is one of the victims because two people were also found dead in a residence in the town.
So they have also not been identified, but Amy Hamm has said that she believes that it's the mother.
So it really does seem like a very similar tragedy to the trans shooting tragedies that we see unfolding in America as well, where you have a person, an individual who in this case was taking SSRIs, talked about taking Zoloft and some other medication that is specifically for autism and sleep, you know, insomnia and things like that.
So you have this individual who had been posting about being trans, about, you know, wanting to take hormone replacement therapy as well, which is cross-sex hormones.
He had changed his username from Jesse Boy to Jess Jess UWU.
And people may remember that OWO was something that was scrawled on the engraved on the bullet casings in the Charlie Kirk assassination case.
And UWU is a similar thing to that.
It sort of represents anime, furry kind of things like that.
So that's what I'm saying.
I mean, it's, it's, I mean, UWU is, I would say, I mean, obviously originated in anime culture.
It certainly has transcended that.
I'm familiar with that meme.
A lot of people are familiar.
But, you know, now we've seen, as you say, two situations where, or two crimes where that same phrase. has been used.
By the way, I just want to, just as a reminder for myself, Amy Hamm, she was the registered nurse who lost her job.
Is that right?
That's correct.
Yeah.
She lost her job for sticking up for women's rights.
Yeah.
Okay.
I remember that.
She was prosecuted.
Yeah.
She was prosecuted by the you interviewed her, right?
I sure did.
Yeah.
I think, I think the world of Amy, otherwise I wouldn't cite what she was saying.
I think that she's very ready.
I mean, which just blows my mind that such a small world that this came up.
Now, but my question is going to be, though, is the fact that they were in a private chat together, private Facebook group together.
And has Amy stated whether or not that the mother was there because it was a group involving trans rights or, you know, fighting to protect girls' spaces from trans rights, this trans community?
No, she didn't go into detail on that, but she did say that this mom was concerned about her son who was taking joy in injuring his siblings, who seemed a little bit, you know, I don't want to put words in Amy's mouth here, but seemed a little bit psychotic.
When we think about, you know, children who take pleasure in injuring others, that's something that certainly is a parent's nightmare.
And I think that that's what she was talking about here.
Now, this Facebook chat was a few years ago.
So the posts that Amy was sharing were from, you know, several years back.
But there have been posts since then by this individual that are saying, you know, that they're trans and they're trying to figure out how to navigate that.
And they came from a family where hunting was part of, you know, family life.
And so there were a lot of guns in the home.
And that's, I mean, just absolutely horrific.
Libby, this is a small mining village that is an extremely remote town.
As you say, 2,400 people, a place that I don't think most folks would associate with the rampant outbreaks of the trans community.
How is it that a town like that could see something like this that typically you would associate with large urban areas, cities, or, you know, my gosh, you know, we're seeing something now where Oram Utah has a situation like this and other parts of Utah.
What is going on here?
Yeah, I think that we do see this a lot more in rural and small areas for a couple of different reasons.
One, people are able to connect on these message boards and chat boards online.
They're able to talk about what they're feeling and then essentially be groomed by others who say, oh, you must be trans or you must have this very specific kind of neurodivergence and various other things.
So people are able to connect in that way and end up, you know, hearing about these things through online communities.
We also have a situation where if you're living in an urban environment, perhaps, if you're in a much bigger city and you have these weird feelings, there's probably a lot more people who have weird feelings like you, hence all the weird drama kids that you find in various cities, you know, but in a very small town, it might be harder to find people of a similar wavelength.
I'm just, you know, guessing here.
But also you have a situation where you have the coastal elites, you have the coastal leftists acting like the entirety of flyover country.
And certainly most people fly over the Canadian Rockies and don't stop.
You have a lot of people who think, oh, the middle of the country here, the people out in this rural areas are very backwards, but they've been inundated with all of this messaging, just like everybody else has.
There's no real difference anymore.
And the flattening of our culture through online media has really made a huge difference, where this kind of stuff is accessible to everyone.
So there's no respite from it.
Parents in rural areas need to know that their kids are able to access this same kind of really poisonous, dangerous rhetoric and these kinds of ideas as they would be able to if they were in a larger urban area.
It's just out there, and you have to pay a lot more attention to it.
It's on phones, it's on computers.
And it seems like Jesse Strang was very active in some of these communities and had posts and a YouTube channel and all of the rest of it.
So these are things that you have to watch out for, but it's not different than it is in urban areas, except the only real difference would be that there are more people in urban areas that perhaps you can relate to than there are in a town where there's 160 kids between seventh and then and then but it's It's the ideology, it's the internet, and that's where this is taking place.
Libby Emmons, thank you so much.
She's joining us here from the post-millennial as well as the editor of Human Events.
All right, folks, I will be on Timcast IRL tonight, so please go and check that out, ladies and gentlemen.
