Owen Shroyer recounts his 14-pound weight loss from prison’s poor food, lost letters after a viral call led to disciplinary action, and the Supreme Court’s ruling against "relevant conduct" sentencing. Callers like Kelly and Albert praise his resilience and reform efforts, while Nasty Nate credits divine intervention for his survival.

Coming to you through the Wolfpack.gold microphone.
Man, my Wolfpack.gold deliveries kept coming in while I was away.
And thank goodness, it was a fun thing to open up.
I had a couple of packages waiting for me.
Telling you, folks, if you don't want to put your money in the bank, if you're looking to invest in precious metals, there is no better way to go than becoming a member at wolfpack.gold.
Tell them I sent you.
You're not going to regret it.
And hey, I'll make an announcement about this at some point in the night.
We got a lot of stuff to cover.
And it's a funny thing because when you get out of jail, most people take some time.
They need some time to get back to work and kind of get their legs back underneath them and everything.
And I pretty much just hit the ground running.
And really, you need to take time to just get your life back in order, really.
Big up cable splicer in Texas.
And I just hit the ground running while I'm trying to get my life back in order and expanding at the same time.
So it's basically been a whirlwind.
But I wouldn't have it any other way because that's just the nature.
That's what the nature of what we do here.
Stop whining.
I'm not whining.
I'm saying I like it.
I'm saying that that's what we're doing here.
So it's great to be back.
And I know that people probably are going to have some questions for me.
And so I do intend on opening up the phone lines at some point.
But while I was away, you may have taken some time to visit owenschroyer.store and get yourself some of the swag that we have there.
And you can also click here to go watch the war room.
Here's the Twitter link.
Here's the Rumble channel.
Here's how you can support me.
And then, of course, there is the store here.
Now, here's the deal: here are all the products that we have at the store.
And I haven't made the final decision about everything, but this is how it's going to go.
This is the last month, or as soon as the new year hits, these products are all going to be off the shelf.
So you have till the end of December to get any of this merchandise.
And what I'm going to do at owenschroyer.store, I think maybe I'll keep one or two of them, maybe, but it's likely I'm going to reset the whole store.
And what I'm going to do is every month, we're basically going to do limited drops.
So there's going to be a new theme and basically a new line of products that we offer at Owensroyer.store every month.
So if you like any of this stuff that you have at the site owenschroyer.store right now, you can get it.
But at the end of the month, I'm going to hit the reset button.
It's going to be new brands and all new merchandise.
So if you've been thinking about getting some of this, get it before the end of the month.
Otherwise, it's going to be gone and there's going to be new stuff up there.
So there you go.
Now, check this out.
And I finally have an answer on this.
I'm not live on Twitter tonight, which is ironic because I've gotten pretty much the green light now from Elon Musk.
I mean, I've virtually gotten the green light from Elon Musk that I am good to go on Twitter.
But this account at Owenschroyer Live has been suspended.
And so I finally got to my studio here to check up to see what's going on.
And they hit me with impersonation.
So I think it's pretty clear to see what's happened.
They have finally seen my lawsuit.
And they're trying to wipe out any other Owenschroyer accounts that aren't the two that are verified.
Or my original one that I have to get re-verified at All I DoISOWEN or now at Owenschroyer 1776, which is verified.
And because of my lawsuit trying to get rid of the fake Owen Schroyers out there, I think that they hit this account thinking it was fake.
So, really, it's probably good news.
I should be able to get this back.
I may have to call in a couple favors, which I never like really doing, but we may have to call in a couple favors to get this back.
Also, in other news, as Alex Jones and so many others specifically, specifically at InfoWars got their accounts back, the War Room show account is also back.
And so, now what we're trying to do here, go ahead and give that a follow.
Oh, I can't do that.
That's funny.
But you can go ahead and give that a follow because what we're going to do here now to say this is sensitive content is obviously ridiculous.
There's nothing sensitive about what we do in the war room.
It's all family-friendly.
Maybe 99% of it.
I guess I can't even watch videos because I'm suspended here.
But the goal is now to get the war room show premium so that I can stream the war room every day on X as well.
So, a lot of moving parts.
But, of course, the irony being that they banned my Owens Royal Live account while they are finally addressing the frauds that are impersonating me and then letting me essentially back on there.
Now, here's what's going to happen in the future because I already have people asking me about this.
So, just for clarification, for those that are tuned in tonight, this account at Owens Royer 1776, I don't know why it's not showing me anything here.
I wrote this to Dan Lyman.
He got it today when I went on air.
Literally, right when I was going on air, Dan Lyman opened this mail that I sent him while I was in jail.
How about that?
That's pretty epic, isn't it?
But so, here's the deal: this account right here is going to be used for my politics and my media.
Okay, so you're going to see clips from the war room.
You're going to see other stuff that I'm doing on there.
When other people submit clips like this account, which I don't know why this isn't working here tonight, but for some reason, it's not letting me watch videos.
So, it's always fun.
It's always fun when technology fails you.
But, nonetheless, clips from the show, other political content that I do, it's going to be really the political and media-driven stuff is what you're going to find at Owensroyer 1776.
Now, with my original account, which is at all IDo is Owen, which is funny because I guess it doesn't pop up because you have to search J Owen Schroer.
Oh, it's just not popping up in the search at all.
So, it's probably still shadow banned.
Now, this account I'm going to be using for just personal stuff.
So, just personal stuff, life stuff, stuff that's not political.
Hey, big shout out, Anna LaRue.
Big shout out.
Did you guys write me?
Do I recognize that?
I appreciate that.
Very kind words.
Thank you guys.
God love you.
So, this is going to be kind of my personal account that I'm doing personal stuff with, fun stuff with, maybe just some life stuff.
But that's going to be the difference.
So, at Owensroyer 1776 is going to be where my media goes, my politics go, sharing clips from the shows and everything else.
And then this is going to be my personal account where I'm just kind of more having fun, maybe doing some stuff around my house, you know, other theme stuff.
But that's going to be the difference.
I do expect they'll let me have Owens Schroyer Live back.
I may have to protest in order to get that back.
But there you go.
There you go.
I wanted to just kind of give that announcement here because people have been asking, well, why do you, what are you going to do?
You have your account back.
You got this other account.
Well, it was a media team that started that other account to just post clips and give updates while I was away.
But now that we have that tool and I've been green lit to be allowed back on Twitter, we're going to use and utilize both of those things.
And that's how that is going to go.
And then hopefully very soon we'll be able to stream the war room on Twitter at War Room Show.
All right.
Now, before I get into some of the stuff that I intend to do tonight and take some phone calls here, and I've said this a lot, but I can't say it enough because really through the hardest times in my two months away,
through the hardest times, it was people that sent me letters and reading that mail and reading those letters that got me through the hardest times.
It really did.
And I can get into some of the details here as we go along the way, and you might understand better what I mean.
But it really was the letters and the kind words.
I mean, some of you basically told me your life stories.
I heard a lot of really touching life stories, some of the personal battles you guys have been through, some people who have been to prison before, you know, with advice and other such things.
Some of you just would write something simple, like we love you, God bless you, we're praying for you.
Some of you would talk about what the transmission or my work has meant to you or InfoWars work or how you found me or how you found InfoWars and all this other stuff.
I read every single word.
Now, I know some of you got your letters returned.
I know I haven't even received all my letters because usually it takes about a week or two for the mail to reach me.
So they're going to have to forward probably like another 400 letters, I guess, to my personal address so that I can still get that mail.
But I want to put that into perspective for you.
I want to put this into perspective for you and then kind of get into some of the details, some of the gory details and some of the stories from the inside.
But just so you know how much it meant to me, and so you know that I'm not just up here flapping my gums.
I literally read every letter, whether it was five words or 500 words.
I need you to just bear with me here.
This is going to get a little clunky.
But just so you know, just so you know, I'm not bluffing about this.
I'm going to show you what I'm talking about.
Here's one stack of my mail.
I saved every single letter, at least every one that I could.
Okay.
One stack.
Stack number two.
Here's a manila folder full of them.
stack number three, stack number four, There's more.
Here's another folder full of them.
unidentified
And then just some other manila envelopes full of mail.
There is another stack of mail that was with my property that went missing.
And I've got some theories on that.
I may get into it.
I may not.
But I had another stack of mail just as big, if not bigger than those, that went missing when they transferred me to the shoe, the special housing unit, when I was being punished for that phone call.
Okay?
So that I'm never, I don't intend to ever throw any of it away because it means that much to me.
And I am a little bit of a nostalgic person like that, and I like to hold on to things that are near and dear to me, especially things that kind of uplift me like these letters did.
And so I read every one of them.
I've saved every one of them except the ones that went missing with my property.
I'll get into that story in a moment, but I just wanted to show you guys that because I know a lot of you in the chat probably wrote me and I just, I can't tell you how much it meant to me.
I really can't.
And it became such an imperative part of my daily routine in there.
And when I was going through the hardest times, I mean, from somebody who does what I do and lives my life to the fullest to be put into a hole and disappeared without any movement, locked in a cell, reading these letters was my only connection to the outside world.
And it kept me connected and feeling connected to the outside world and feeling loved and just reminding me why I do what I do and how amazing the people that, because I consider us all a part of the same movement,
just pro-human, pro-truth, pro-freedom, common sense, and that it really is the greatest group of people that I could ever ask to be associated with.
And so I can't thank you enough.
I love you all for it.
And I know there's still a lot of mail I haven't received.
I know some of you in the chat.
I know Timothy Lasley.
Because here's the thing.
I was going to come on here tonight and read.
I wasn't going to dox you, but I was going to read your first name, your last initial, and where you were from and give a shout out to everybody who sent me the mail.
And that's why I have it sitting down here.
But it would take too long.
There's other things I need to talk about.
I can't be on here too late tonight because I'm just swamped with other work.
And I imagine that you guys would rather take the time to call and talk to me tonight than me just read through all of these names.
So I just want to give a big thank you to everyone.
I love you.
If you sent me mail or you didn't, you prayed for me, you didn't.
It's just, thank you guys so much.
God bless you.
And I really read every single one, and every single one meant something special to me.
And a big shout out to sticky Nikki Trippy as well.
And I don't know if I want to out him at this point, but let's just say that very imperative on keeping my media profile, keeping my media profile big and expansive while I was locked in a hole.
And so there you go.
I'll also go ahead and say this, because here's the thing.
When you send me the mail, I'm able to see who sent it to me.
Unless you put a mailing label on it, then they rip it off and I can't see it.
So unless you signed it, then I don't know who it is.
There's so many different angles to this.
Plus, a lot of the mail shouldn't have come through, but it just depends on who's working in the mailroom.
If you sent me a colored envelope or a colored piece of paper, they usually will not accept it.
But I think they got so sick with all my mail, they just eventually just let it all through.
And so some of it got through, some of it got rejected.
But if it had a mailing label on it, they'd rip it up.
And there is a bunch of stuff.
Basically, depending on who is reading the mail or checking the mail that night, some of it got through, some of it got rejected, what have you.
But if you sent me a book, usually I have no idea who sent me the books because they have the books delivered separately than the mail.
But we'll talk about that in a second.
But somebody sent me this, which is a very nice leatherbound journal.
Very nice leatherbound journal.
And whoever sent me this, this was huge.
This was huge.
And in fact, this is actually where I have written my book.
This is the book I wrote from jail.
And there's over 100 pages in here.
And this is from less than half my time.
The first seven days I spent in solitary confinement for quarantine.
It's total BS.
But the first seven days I spent in solitary confinement for quarantine.
And I wrote every day, about three to four pages every day.
That all went missing with my property.
And if you're asking, what is this he keeps talking about missing property?
I'll explain that in a second.
So really, the first 30 pages of my book, gone.
Never be able to recover it, completely gone.
So I'm going to have to revisit and rewrite that as a section.
I could not write while I was in the shoe.
I didn't have the proper writing materials, the paper, the pen, or even a place to write.
So there was no way for me to write.
So my plan for this book was to basically be like a daily log, a daily journal, but I lost all my writings from solitary.
I was not able to write in the shoe.
And so that was the first 26 days, I believe.
I believe that was the first 26 days.
First 26 days, I was locked up in the hole, no movement, lost my writings or lost the ability to write.
And so I'm going to have to start the book with a section that's just solitary confinement first week, and then have another section that's the shoe when I was in the shoe.
I was in basically in that circumstance, it's the prison in the prison.
And you are treated like a high-security prisoner, even though you're in a low security.
And then we'll be able to do the rest of the daily logs in the rest of the book.
And so a couple of publishing companies have reached out.
And I'm really just so slammed right now that I need to get it written before it's too long, obviously, because I need to type it out.
I need to type out the new sections and then get it to the publishing company I work with or decide to go with.
And I don't know.
I've never written a book before, so I don't know how long this turnaround usually goes, but just know it's coming.
And whoever sent me this, thank you, because it ended up being where I wrote my book.
Because I don't want to reveal too much because a lot of it is in the book, and I want to save some of it for the book.
But I get in there, I spend my time in solitary, and the first phone call I make gets recorded, published on the internet, played everywhere, and goes viral.
And for anybody out there who is upset with the individual that recorded and posted it, please do not be.
Please do not be.
I'm glad that happened, even though it put me through the hardest time in the prison sentence.
It was not his fault.
It was nobody's fault except the corrupt governments.
It gets uploaded to the internet, and I get hit with what's called a shot.
It's basically a disciplinary action when you're in jail.
And then they sent me to the shoe for it.
Now, again, I don't want to go too much into details here because I want you to save, I want to save some of this for the book.
But what I got hit with a shot for, nobody had ever heard of.
Now, when they get you in there, it might be even worse than the court system, the way they force you to plead guilty.
Because I was never even read the violation.
I was never even explained the violation.
When I asked for the bylaws or whatever of how I violated whatever rules of the prison, it wasn't given to me.
But they have you in this position where there's nothing you can do.
You don't have a lawyer present.
You don't know what's going on.
And the only hope you have of getting out of the shoe is to plead guilty, get your sentence, and hope they let you out.
Well, I got hit with a strict punishment, and I would have been on, I basically would have been in the shoe for about 40 or 45 days if there wasn't some things that went in my favor and got me out of there early.
But they took all my privileges for communication.
I had no access to phones, no access to email.
I couldn't even access the basic computer system to look at my commissary funds.
So they took all of that away, and I was supposed to be in the shoe pretty much the whole time for this phone call.
I talked to multiple prisoners.
Hey, big shout out to Revenge of the Sis, y'all.
Big shout out to Revenge of the Sis.
I'm going to be on with those guys sometimes probably next week.
Give them a follow, by the way, on Rumble, Revenge of the Sis.
Big shout out to those guys.
Now, so like I said, they took all my privileges.
I would have spent most of the time in there.
And everybody, everybody I talked to in the prison from some of the longtime guards.
I mean, I talked to a guy who I'll say was higher up, who'd worked in the prison system and this prison specifically for more than two decades.
And he said, and it's the type of person that would know all about shots and the discipline system inside the prison.
He said he has never seen or heard of the violation that I got sent to the shoe for.
I'm talking lifetime prisoners, guys that have spent years in, decades in, in and out of the shoe, everything.
Nobody had ever heard of this.
Nobody had ever heard of the violation that they sent me to the shoe for.
And I want to be careful with some of the stuff that I say here because a lot of the stuff that was told to me from the inside, from I'll just say non-inmates confidentially that nobody in there heard of it.
Nobody in there really wanted to do this to me.
And it was coming from the top down.
It was coming from the top down.
So, okay, first person anybody's ever heard of that got sent to the shoe for this phone violation.
Even in the sensing, it says, it says close to, maybe I should find the exact wording.
Because even in the sentencing document, it doesn't even say that I did a violation.
It said that I was close to, let me get this wording right.
I think this is it.
Yeah, this whole thing is such BS, and everybody knew it in there.
I mean, listen to this.
The sanctions imposed by the DHO were taken to let the inmate know that he and he alone will be held responsible for all his behavior at all times.
Behavior of this nature is considered disruptive to the safety, security, and orderly operation of the institution.
I thank people for sending me mail.
Therefore, the inmate was sanctioned to disciplinary segregation to ensure the safety of all inmates and the staff within the institution.
Loss of privileges was imposed to correct the present inappropriate behavior and deter the inmate and others from future behavior of this type.
Nobody's heard of this behavior as a violation, but that wasn't even the funniest part.
There it is.
You committed the prohibited act of disrupted conduct most like phone abuse.
i don't want to go too deep into it because you know here here's the crazy thing i mean i gotta be honest this This punishment that I've received for my speech to go into the prison and then the punishment I got to go into the prison, into the prison for my speech, folks, I'll be perfectly honest.
There is a chilling effect on my speech.
There is something that goes through my head now.
I mean, I'm just being honest with you, folks.
I'm afraid to talk anymore.
I'm afraid that I'm going to get punished.
I'm going to get arrested.
I'm going to get thrown in solitary for just reading that or just talking about what went on in there.
I have to overcome this mental hurdle now every time I speak.
What are they going to come after me for reading that document?
But let's just move on.
So I'm the only person they ever heard of get a shot and get sent to the shoe for that.
Here's one for you.
And this is the one that threw all the guards for the loop.
Because look, I mean, it didn't take long before pretty much everybody in there figured out who I was and what I was in there for.
And so there was an increased curiosity.
We'll leave it at that.
But this is what really threw the guards and everybody that worked there and everybody that it was in there for a loop.
As far as I can tell, and anybody I've talked to and anybody with experience and everybody inside the prison, I might be the first and only person to ever go to prison, a federal prison, for a misdemeanor.
So a lot of the guards would kind of goon me and they'd be like, oh, this is the celebrity inmate.
Because I had a bunch of nicknames.
I had the nickname the mailman.
I had the nickname misdemeanor.
And then my final nickname was podcast.
That's a whole nother thing.
But because once people in there figure out you have any level of fame or platform, now everybody wants you to promote their case, talk about how they were wronged, show their art, show their Instagram, show their rap albums and everything else.
So they started calling me podcast because they wanted me to talk about their stuff on the podcast.
And maybe someday I will.
But my nickname was Misdemeanor because as far as anybody could tell, I'm the first and only person ever to be sent to prison for a misdemeanor.
But so guards would give me trouble like, oh, it's the celebrity guy.
Like, what are you in here for again?
I'd be like, yeah, I know you, it's hard to believe, but I'm in here for speech.
And they'd be right, right, in here for speech.
And I'd go, hey, have you ever heard of anybody being in here for a misdemeanor?
They'd say, no, nobody comes in here for misdemeanors.
I said, oh, really?
Because you're looking at one.
And then that would throw them for the loop.
They'd be like, what?
Wait, what?
You're really in here for a misdemeanor?
Yeah.
Still don't believe me about that speech crime?
Might want to look it up.
And then they would.
And I'd be sitting in my cell sometimes in the shoe.
And some of the guys would go me, they'd come back and they'd make a joke about something I did or something I said.
And they'd be like, hey, man, but all jokes aside, I actually really like your content.
Man, there's some stuff that I could tell, but I'm going to save a lot of it for the book.
Let me put it like this.
My time in there, as brutal and miserable and undeserving as it may have been, it solidified my faith in God.
But I think what needs to be heard more than that is it reaffirmed my faith in the American people.
Folks, we are so far and beyond the majority in this country.
It's really not even funny.
I mean, once people inside found out who I was, inmates, guards, anybody that worked there, they all loved me.
Now, granted, there were some people in there that didn't like me.
There were some people in there that hated my guts, hated what I stood for, and wanted to make my time as miserable as possible.
But for the most part, folks, that all came from above.
That all came from stuff beyond the prison guards' payroll, beyond anybody that actually worked at that place's payroll.
This is stuff that was coming from up top.
And I can't get into it much more than that, but I'm telling you, like, I was told pretty specifically how it really goes.
And, well, I'm not going to get into some of the most deep stuff here tonight.
But really, there were good people in there.
There were guardian angels in there that watched my back and protect me from the demons that wanted me to be tortured that entire time.
And A lot of the inmates, there were a few inmates that were guardian angels for me that tried to make my experience there as easy as possible.
And there were some guardian angels that worked there that had some pull to try to help me out wherever and however they could as well.
Again, granted, there's basically three tries, there's three types of people that work at prisons.
You have lazy, inept, incompetent people, and that's just one thing.
And then you have the power-tripping people who just want a power trip.
And really, those are the worst.
And there were a couple of them in there that they just treat everyone like garbage.
It didn't matter whether you were Owen Shroy or inmate five or inmate 10.
The power trippers just treat everyone like crap.
And it's really a pathetic display.
But then there were the friendlies.
And I would say that if you respect them, they'll respect you.
Simple as that.
You respect them.
They'll respect you.
And so, but there were a couple of friendlies in there that, let's just say, had my back.
And, you know, I just want to be careful because a lot of the conversations I had, I specifically said were off the record.
I know a couple people in there want to protect themselves from getting punished by the powers that be for even talking to me.
But, you know, I would just say, because I know a lot of the people that work in there are going to be tuned into what I do now.
And I'll just say if you treated me with respect, and if you looked me in the eye and you were honest with me, and if you were positive in your interactions with me, that I thank you for that, and it will not be forgotten.
And you know who you are.
You know who you are if you're a worker there, and you know who you are if you're an inmate there.
But I don't know how the inmates would ever be able to hear this.
It's not like there's illegal cell phones in prison, folks.
That definitely doesn't exist.
So I'm just going to leave it at that for now.
But it reaffirmed my faith in the American people, solidified my faith in God, because there's stuff that went in.
There's stuff that happened in there that can only be attributed to God, really.
Now, and the Bible was one of the books that I read.
I read 15 books.
I really, I read 15 books completely.
There are about five other books that I kind of started to read, but either lost interest or didn't like or just didn't finish.
But I finished 15 books.
The Bible was one of them.
The Bible was definitely the hardest one to get through.
But what's going to happen is eventually I'm going to come on here and do a broadcast that just talks about my experience reading the Bible and all the Bible verses that meant the most to me while I was in there and just kind of give some of the lessons overall from the Bible that I had too.
But that's going to be coming in the future, as well as another book that I read that was just a book all about different countries of the world.
And so I learned a lot of crazy things about countries around the world.
And I'm going to do a broadcast here that's basically like what I learned about different countries around the world while in prison.
That's going to be a fun one too because there's some crazy stuff that goes on in this world that I had no idea about until I read this book.
But those two things will be coming in the future.
So we're almost on the hour mark, so I'm going to open up the phones.
I guess I could maybe go, well, maybe it'd be better to just answer some of your questions because like I said, I want to save a lot of this stuff for the book.
And really, I could just go on with my prison experience for hours, and it would kind of be aimless.
So maybe we'll just open up the phone lines instead.
And you can kind of guide the conversation about where you want it to go.
So we'll just do that.
We'll give up the phone number here in a second.
Remember, folks, we're coming to you through the Wolfpack.gold microphone.
And I had a couple of packages waiting for me when I got home from Wolfpack.gold.
So that was a fun thing to come home to.
Join the pack.
What are you waiting for?
They've expanded the membership levels.
You can now be a wolf cub, or you can even be a sage wolf.
But there you go.
Why join the pack?
Because, folks, if you're interested in precious metals, when you go to buy precious metals, you're buying as an individual.
But when you are a member of the pack, you're buying as a group.
So you're not just spending your $1,000 on precious metals.
We're all buying together, and that brings the price of the precious metals way, way down.
You get much more bang for your buck.
Trust me, when that package every month comes in, it's the only subscription that pays you back.
When that package comes in from Wolfpack.gold every month, you're going to love it.
Wolfpack.gold, tell them I sent you.
And remember, for those of us just joining us, you may have seen the storefront, owenschroyer.store.
And so here is the announcement.
We made it earlier.
All these products, I might keep one or two.
I might keep one or two.
All of these products will be gone at the end of the month.
What I've decided to do here is limited releases.
Every month we're going to have a different brand, different product, different stuff.
So it's going to be every month.
So this is the product line for December.
But when December is up, all of this will be gone.
I might keep one.
I might keep one of these shirts.
But I also might just get rid of all of them.
So this is a limited drop.
At the end of the month, all this merchandise will be gone.
And we'll have a new line of merchandise for January.
And that's how we're going to do it over at owenschroyer.store.
And it was great today, obviously.
It was great today to be able to come back to the war room over at band.video.
There's the live stream right there, band.video/slash war room.
So just so much big news.
So much big news happening over there.
And we had a big show today.
The audience is probably bigger than ever.
And God bless you guys for making that happen.
It's really just great.
It's really just great.
So without further ado, let's take some phone calls tonight.
And I'll just let you kind of guide it because I got all kinds of stories.
And I could go off forever about prison stories, but it's all in the book.
Someday the book will be ready to go, working on getting a deal with a publishing company.
And then I still got to write some of it because they took half my writings and then I couldn't write while I was in the shoe.
And I'm glad you guys said the show.
I'm glad you guys are saying that the war room was good today because I felt a little rusty.
I wasn't really sure how it was going to go.
I mean, I'm not lacking in confidence.
I'm confident in what I do as a broadcaster, but I haven't been in the news cycle for a while.
My aggregation skills and everything else and all my habits were kind of something that was a little, I was a little rusty or a little atrophied, but we're going to be back.
And it was great to be back.
And I'm glad you guys say that the show was good today.
There were a lot of weird rules with the mail that people just didn't know.
Like, you can't send cards.
You can't send colored envelopes.
You can't send colored paper.
Now, some of it gets through.
You can't send a mailing label.
Some of it gets through.
I think it depends on who's checking the mail.
But quite frankly, I think like after a week or two of like 50 letters coming in a night, I think some of the guys just like gave up and they were just like, just send it all through.
I've seen your Twitter account, Mike D. Tweeted at me, tweeted at all IDOISON or wherever you want, but just use hashtag use hashtag freeOwen and that'll be the easiest way for me to find it because my notifications are off the hook right now.
But if you use hashtag freeOwen, I think I should be able to find it easier.
unidentified
Yeah, I want to thank you again for that, bro.
It's awesome.
My son, I got it home when I got it.
Son was like, oh, I want one.
I'm like, I'm sorry.
Like, he's C6 and he watches the show and stuff.
Like, I'm going to give him all this stuff one day when he grows up.
And I like the collectible stuff like you do, just to have some memorabilia.
Well, it was a roller coaster in many ways, but that's just because they like to keep you off your guard and uncomfortable when you're inside the prison system.
So aside from just the daily roller coaster, it was kind of a valley that I went through.
And I can tell you the lowest point, I specifically remember when I was at my lowest point in there.
And if I was broken, and I wouldn't say I was ever broken, but if there was a moment of my weakest and the hardest time, I specifically remember where it was.
But then after that, things started getting, started going up from there.
And I started to get better from there, mentally speaking.
You know, physically, it's like I was in an impossible situation, really, to maintain what I wanted to physically.
But that's a whole nother story.
But I think it's like this.
I had to go through this process.
God wanted me to go through this process and he wanted me to see.
I mean, another joke some of the other inmates would make is that I saw the most of the prison system in the shortest period of time.
And really, it's true.
It's true.
In fact, I really haven't even explained the situation with my property here.
So if people are still wondering about that, let me just address that quickly.
When I was transferred from solitary confinement quarantine to the shoe, all my property went missing.
So it either got stolen or the unit manager threw it away.
She's known to do that.
Either way, it all went missing.
So that means all my commissary food gone.
All the books that people sent me, which is really, this is what pains me about it.
I mean, the food and the property is one thing, whatever.
But people sent me really expensive and rare books, just gone.
All the letters that got sent to me in the first week, all gone.
Some of them I didn't even get the chance to open.
And they're just all gone.
And so that's what really hurt me about that.
But so all that property went missing.
And my first 30 or so pages of writing all went missing as well.
So when I talk about the missing property, that's what happened with that.
And it's really just a damn shame that that happened.
But the point is, it was just another part of the process that I had to see.
I had to see just how bad it is inside the BOP.
I had to see what these prisoners go through.
And I will tell you, without getting too much into it here now, because I wanted to keep taking calls, prison reform is going to be a major, major issue for me moving forward.
It is so much worse than we can imagine.
It is so bad what goes on in these prisons.
And the fact that the Bureau of Prisons is asking for $2 billion more, what they ought to do is they ought to find out what a prisoner costs per day and then find out what annually that gets to $2 billion and release that many prisoners because the prison system is out of control.
The facilities are mismanaged.
They are falling apart.
At least where I was at, most of the people probably don't even belong in there, obviously myself included.
But prison reform is a major, major issue.
And I think that God wanted me to go through the entire thing just so I could see how bad it is from all the different angles.
And I did.
unidentified
Well, we are so glad to have you back, brother.
And, you know, I'm sure that the food that they were feeding me in there was probably terrible.
Now that you're free, what were some of the first things you had to eat as soon as you became free, brother?
Do you have to get out?
What was your food you had to go for, brother, when you became free again?
And yes, the food is even worse than you can imagine.
When I finally got some commissary food, which was like day 35, so I basically was nothing but prison food for more than a month.
When I finally got commissary food, I pretty much just ate oats and nuts and dried fruit.
But that's not the question you're asking.
So when I got picked up, when I got picked up, the guys that picked me up wanted to go pick up some fast food because they had just been driving for a long time.
And so this was Friday, Friday, Friday morning.
So they went to Raising Kane's Chicken.
I'm sure people are familiar with Raising Kane's Chicken.
And we were just on the road.
They wanted to pick up some food.
I wasn't really hungry.
Really, your appetite and your hunger gets so messed with when you're in there that it's just a different world, really.
So I wasn't even hungry, but I was like, well, I'll get something to eat.
So the first thing I ate was the fried chicken fingers, but it didn't really, it didn't go down well.
I didn't really feel good after that, and I couldn't eat again until Friday night.
Like, I just, I don't talk to anybody about this because everybody shills for these people.
And like, and I love you, bro.
And I don't know who to talk to about this, man.
And I don't want them to hate me either because I know there's a lot of internal affairs, things that shouldn't be talked about and they're not allowed to talk to.
unidentified
But, yo, to go on the show and, oh, I'm, you know, not, we're not all bad.
Well, see, there's so many things I need to do, and including I need to show you how I marinate my fillets, and then the end result, and you will see that it's definitely something that you should try.
unidentified
I do a cast iron skillet, age fillet, salt, pepper, coriander, beautiful.
Incentive Over Justice00:03:45
unidentified
But regardless, I'm hoping you got to enjoy some fillets since you've been out.
I wanted to go back to what you were saying about prison reform.
First of all, we are all grateful that you are out of that place, but you got to think about these guys that have been in there now for two, three years and everything they're going to.
Well, there was actually a big decision in the Supreme Court.
There's this thing called relevant conduct that judges basically use to screw people over.
And so here's the problem.
And I can put this pretty short and sweet because I've had a lot of time to think about this.
This is the biggest problem we have in our Justice Department.
The incentive is no longer justice.
The incentive.
Well, before you get to that, before you get to that, and I'm not saying you're wrong about that, but the real incentive in the prosecutors and the U.S. attorneys is convictions.
And then the incentive in the judges is prison.
There is no incentive for justice anymore.
All the U.S. attorneys and prosecutors want to do is get a conviction.
That's why they overcharge and they get you with a plea bargain.
And then the judge has to fill the prisons, which, yes, are for profit in some regards.
So that's how this goes.
The incentive is no longer justice.
The incentive is conviction and imprisonment.
And it's flawed at that very concept.
It's flawed at that very incentive.
And that has to change overnight.
And the Supreme Court ruled that if the justice system doesn't stop using relevant conduct, then they're going to make it illegal.
And relevant conduct is one of the ways that judges put people in jail for illegitimate reasons, including myself.
That's why all the speech, if you're wondering why, why did I go to jail for speech?
Because of relevant conduct.
And they argued that my speech that had nothing to do with January 6th, before and after January 6th, they argued that was relevant conduct.
And that's why I had to go to jail.
The Supreme Court just ruled that relevant conduct cannot be used in sentencing anymore.
Now, the judges might just ignore them.
They do it all the time.
But then the Supreme Court said that they're going to have to act.
So this is actually a big thing that I've been meaning to cover.
unidentified
Yeah.
And I'm so glad that you caught the attention of Matt Gates and some other people while you were in there.
But prior to that, the same people, MTG and some others, Gomer, they tried to shed some light on it, but nobody's looking.
Nobody's paying attention.
Hopefully the Supreme Court can do something to help with this.
But I just, the way things are going in this world, in this country, everywhere lately.
And I would, I don't know how much interest there is in Congress.
I know at least Matt Gates and Marjorie Taylor Greene and maybe Clay Higgins and some others.
And it's not just about my situation.
It's about a lot of other people out there.
But if they did a, if they had a hearing about prison reform, I would be more than happy to appear as a witness.
unidentified
Yeah, that would be huge.
That would be huge.
Well, I'll let you get to some other callers.
Thank you so much for taking my call.
I know I miss you every day at 3 o'clock Chicago time, and just so happy you're out and, you know, move forward and do great things now that you've been not out.
So that was ironic because the word search was something that was my best time killer aside from reading because I got to switch it up when I was in the shoe.
And then all the word search puzzles started coming in once I got out of the shoe.
Well, Owen, I just wanted to let you know, you know what I mean?
I could stand here.
I could sit here and talk to you about like all what's going on in the world today and the Biden crime family or whatever like that.
But I just wanted to let you know that, you know, like I don't care anymore about Trump or whoever else.
As far as I'm concerned, you're the number one patriot right now in America for what you're for staying as strong as you did through, you know, the terrible persecution that you had to go through.
I mean, you know, growing up, you and I have about a lot in common as far as like, you know, I got the Owen 316.
Sure, I was a huge fan of Stone Cold growing up.
But at the end of the day, you know what I mean?
That's just an act.
You're the real deal.
And I just wanted to let you know, like, as far as I'm concerned, you're like a hero to me.
It really does, because at the end of the day, I look at, I mean, really, it's nothing exclusive to me.
I want other people to be inspired like I am to just make the most of their lives, to make the most of the talents and the abilities God has given them and to understand that everybody has a divine purpose.
But you have to earn it and you have to chase it and you have to put everything into it to accomplish that.
And, you know, the kind words and feelings that you expressed really mean everything to me.
And I mean, I, how do I say this?
I mean, when I got out, let me address this right now because I wasn't going to get into this because I don't want things to be misconstrued or taken out of context.
But I think this is actually something very important to communicate.
When I was in there, in a way, it was a detoxification process.
It was a rehab in a way for me because, I mean, I work so hard and I dedicate myself so much to what I do, however you want to describe it or call it, that I'm so deeply embedded in this and I'm so deeply embedded in the political world that in a way, being in jail was a detoxification process.
And when I got out, I realized how animalistic the political media really is.
And it's actually, it's extremely toxic.
It is animalistic.
And most people in political media, you know, conservatives and people on the right wing want to point the finger at the left wing and liberals and say, oh, look, they've lost their humanity.
They've lost their humanity.
Well, you know, in a way, the right wing has lost their humanity in a way just as much.
And they might be closer to what a human is supposed to look like and sound like and feel like and everything else.
And obviously, mentally, they still can think.
But I got to tell you, it was such a detoxification process, just being away from it all and getting out.
I mean, man, the political media is animalistic.
And to just kind of be exposed to that at such a breakneck speed, it really just hit me that, you know, we've got to, people on the right need to find their humanity too.
And the animalistic nature of it is just, it's really actually sad.
It's actually sad.
And in a way, there's nothing I can do to avoid it because I'm not changing course.
I'm not backing down.
But I guess in closing, I think what you have to is a lot of people, and I wouldn't have felt like this before, but some people can't help it, but there's this notion of, I mean, you might call it like a messiah complex or, I mean, I used to feel this way too, and I still do, that I want to change the world.
But I realize now that it's not about, do I want to change the world?
It's about how can I fulfill God's purpose.
It doesn't matter whether I want to change the world or not.
It doesn't matter what I think the world should look like or sound like.
All I can do is fulfill what God's purpose is for me in the world.
Let me give an example here of maybe something that can kind of bring this home.
And this was from David Icke.
And I love David Icke.
I want to be clear here.
This is in no way, shape, or form a slight of David Icke, who I think is a great person.
And I completely understand where he's coming from.
But he had a long tweet the other day talking about what he calls our MAMIs.
And that's basically this new thing with the alternative media.
Here's one of them.
This new thing with the alternative media and Alex Jones being back and Musk being a false prophet and all of this stuff.
And I understand where David Icke is coming from.
And I think his direction is probably good.
But see, this is what I'm talking about with the animalistic, like dog, eat dog.
Like nobody's even a human.
Everybody just has to become some form of a battering ram or everybody just wants to use you is another way to put it.
Everybody's just looking for how they can use you for leverage.
And so I'm trying to find this long tweet from David Icke about Alex becoming a member of the Mammys and how Elon Musk is a false prophet.
And I get it, but it's like this.
If Elon Musk, if Elon Musk eventually creates the technology that eventually merges humans with machines and maybe becomes an evil thing and maybe becomes the new way that Satan enslaves the planet and maybe it destroys humanity, maybe momentarily, or maybe the whole thing fails.
But here's the thing that I think David Icke maybe just has to let go of, and I love him for it, is that David, it's all part of God's will.
If God allows us to be conquered by this technology, then that's part of God's plan.
And there's nothing any of us can do about it.
And that's not to say we don't fight for the truth.
That's not to say we don't fight for what's right and fight for what's good.
That's not what it means at all.
It's just if you're living, if you're living in this mindset that somehow you can really control the future, then to me, my new look at it is I can't control the future.
All I can do is ask God to use me as I'm intended.
And all I can do is ask God to give me the vision and light the pathway so that I can fulfill his purpose for me, whatever that is.
And so there's nothing I can do.
If the world is eventually going to become human cyborgs and God is going to allow that to happen, there's nothing I can do about that.
Maybe there's people I can stop from falling into the evil.
Maybe there's things we can do to curtail it.
Maybe there's ways we can save ourselves.
But it's just, and I'm getting a little off track here.
It's just, I'm telling you, being behind was like a detoxification process and getting thrown back into it just showed me how animalistic, you know, again, the right wing wants to point the finger at the left, say you're unhuman.
No, the right wing is very animalistic in their own ways.
And it's always people looking for leverage.
It's always, it's like a popularity contest and people using one another and forgetting about what it's really all about.
And it was just, it was strange, really, to be hit like that.
I wasn't expecting it when I got out, but it hit me like a rush.
And I guess I would put it like this.
It's like somebody who quit smoking cigarettes.
And then the first time they pick up a cigarette, they're hawking and hacking and coughing up a lung because they hadn't smoked cigarettes.
And that's what it was like.
Getting back into politics, it was like, like, oh, my God, like, oh, geez, this is disgusting.
So that's kind of what it was like.
But again, I don't want this to be misconstrued or misperceived in any way.
But I'm glad you brought that up because it's something I felt like I needed to communicate.
unidentified
Well, no, I totally understand, Owen.
And I just feel like a lot of the people in conservative ink or whatever do it for the money.
And I can tell if somebody like you does it for the right purpose to spread the truth.
And I guess you could even say God's word, in a sense, to enlighten people and help people out.
Because ultimately, if what you were doing was just about your own personal benefit, you would have never had to go through with what you went through.
And that's why I respect you so much.
And I almost felt like, I don't know, I almost felt like I had nothing to do for the few weeks that you were in there.
You know what I mean?
But to me, it seemed like a few years.
But I just wanted to let you know that I really appreciate you've made a huge impact on my life.
And I mean, I'm a pretty private person, but let's just say you've helped me out a lot personally.
And I just got back from our yearly family vacation.
And I was wearing your free Owen shirts everywhere.
I was even at Mount Rushmore.
We were in South Dakota.
So, you know, maybe one day I'll send you a pitch or whatever with me rocking my free Owen gear at Mount Rushmore because I think there's enough room for you on the corner there, buddy.
But then God bring it to me that you'd be okay, man.
So me and the wife, we really kind of just let that go.
Um to God that you'd be okay in there because I like at first I was like I seen some like weird shit going on that some something was gonna happen to you, but uh man, God sure bring that back to us and uh like we never thought like that again Well,
there were the prayers definitely i mean i i can't even really explain it the prayers benefited guarantee it the people praying for me it it it was felt in there 100 it was felt in there and god definitely placed some guardian angels along the way uh to protect me from the demons that that wanted to completely destroy me in there so believe me man i witnessed it all there there are things that happened to me in there that i don't even know if i want to talk about it because it's so
unreal um honestly like it's it's it's it's not freaky to me it's just surreal to me and so i just don't even want to talk about some of it yet but uh it's it's we are just i mean man look we're such a divine creation we have so much power and ability that is just untapped i mean it's just i you know i just can't even believe the way the way god impacted my time in there
and the way the prayers paid off and the guardian angels and uh uh the things that that i experienced so it's uh it's it's very real the power of prayer the power of god it's all very real and it is it is the god it is the god consciousness i mean we can all jack into it um it's not easy we're so far removed it's so far atrophied but it's uh it's very real
uh yeah then i talked to you uh before i went in and i knew it was going to happen i mean like and i didn't want to be selfish but
like for the last i don't know like since you've been out there was no one to backfill you right in my life right like so like you know i mean i'm a pretty simple man i i own a business uh we work real hard but i like to have my own time you know listen to you and all that shit and i knew it was going to happen where there's no one that backfilled you like i didn't go search for nobody like i have a certain routine on like who i
listen to and uh i just want to tell you man thanks brother and it's i mean it's awesome to um to hear your voice again well thank you sir and uh that means everything to me because if i do have any worldly desires or if i do have any you know professional missions that's it i i want to be that voice i want to be the person you seek out for three hours a day to get news and entertainment or a little laugh from or
some emotional experience out of life and so if i can fulfill that that means everything to me and i'm going to continue to do that as long as i walk the earth i don't know how else to put that all right i'm going to take one last call for the night and sign off final caller what's your name where you're from
unidentified
yes hey owen are you that's me bro okay i'm sorry man i'm watching you while i'm listening to this so i'll just turn this down listen man this is like john the baptist man they grabbed him up and they threw him down in the dungeon bro i mean i'll tell you something there's people out there there's so many people out there that love you man you have no idea i mean no idea i'm a 58 year old dude i've been listening to alex for almost 15
years and man i tell you you come a long way on this program you know on a show and now it's your show pretty much man i mean alex is the man you know but dude this is i'm serious it's like there's so many people out there that love you you Just a really good guy.
I mean, let me tell you, when you've got guys that are Marines and guys that have served multiple tours and guys that served in Vietnam and all this stuff riding you and saying that they look at me as one of their brothers in arms, I mean, it means everything to me.
unidentified
Oh, man.
You have really, you really have.
I guess you do have some idea, but not the abundance of people that love and care for you, man.
I mean, there's so many people out there.
I mean, me and my wife, we're older people.
We're ordinary people.
I'm actually a registered Democrat.
I called you on the phone when Alex was with the guy when they were doing whatever with this debate, you know, the previous time when they're not supposed to have anything in your ear.
And I just missed you on the call, you know.
I forget who what guest he had on.
But, I mean, it is what it is with the Trump stuff.
I mean, I don't believe he's Jesus Christ or anything, you know.
But he's done well.
He fulfilled a lot of the things that he did.
You know, I'm not, I don't like, I love the guy as far as putting his family on the line, his whole business, all the things that he's done.
But, man, I'm just, I'm just going to get back to you because this is my call touched my heart when I hear some of the callers, you know.
But there's so many people that love you, man.
It's just.
Well, I feel it.
Listen, I see this lady.
It's like you were, this is like you.
Alex, yeah, got the platform, but you got like tossed in the dungeon, bro.
You know, this is like when they got John Baptist and they threw him in there.
You know, Herod threw him in there, man.
You know what I mean?
He was down in there chained up.
You know, I mean, that's like basically what happened to you.
I mean, this is a guy that you're just an ordinary guy.
You didn't really break any laws.
You didn't do anything wrong.
And I don't care who's listening.
I'm tired of it from now on.
I ain't going to be around forever anyway.
But I tell you, man, if something would have happened to you, there's so many people that would have just gotten together and just come up with something.
There would have been a long little travel there, in my estimate.
Because, I mean, we weren't going to let it happen.
Nothing happened to you.
Everybody's worried about something's going to happen to you, you know?
And that was my deal, dude, because I was, you know, I could feel in my heart.
I was like, no, man, you just can't not let something happen to Owen, man.
You know?
Hey, man, and we love you, bro.
I mean, we love you.
We really do.
There's a lot of people out there that care for you, love you, and just want you to keep going on.
And now, hey, man, look, like the one dude said, you know, you're going to keep going on, man.
You're going to keep going on bigger and better, you know?
I mean, that's really, that's the ultimate thing.
You're not here for the money, I don't think.
I mean, you're a pretty straight-up dude, man.
You tell people the way it is.
You know what I mean?
You've been out without your 12 eggs a day and without your brain force and your all this other stuff, you know, you take and all that.
I'm glad you said this because this is a good way to kind of close off the transmission.
And this is why, again, I preach this a lot on my show.
I don't hammer it, but this is why I'm so against political purism.
It's just, it's a cancer for any movement because when you engage in political purism, we have to separate, we have to separate conservative culture from conservative politics.
And we can't get caught up in political purism because you end up getting nothing accomplished.
And so I get it.
Hey, people don't like Elon Musk for a hundred different reasons.
