Owen Shroyer dissects Elon Musk’s X (Twitter) transformation, calling it "100 times better" but exposing selective bans—like Nick Fuentes and Louis Farrakhan—while pro-Israel content thrives. He links Haiti’s collapse to Clinton-linked gangs and warns of Florida’s boat migration surge, dismissing conservative infighting as a distraction from Trump’s 2024 election. Callers debate federal vs. state citizenship, pandemic vaccine mandates, NYC migrant policies, and archiving InfoWars, all framing government overreach as existential threats. Shroyer ties X’s contradictions to broader power struggles, suggesting free speech battles now hinge on ideological loyalty rather than principle. [Automatically generated summary]
Just that Finnish folk metal is just riding me to Valhalla.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, here we are.

All right, friends.
All right, friends.
I'm going to get a little bit off the beaten political path tonight.
I've just had too much of it lately.
And I want to just get into some wins and losses of Elon Musk's X. By the way, do you notice the new lighting in here?
Do you prefer the new lighting?
I kind of like the basement dungeon look myself, but it kind of blurs out the screen and makes it a little grainy, which I kind of liked that.
I felt like it was different.
And I'm not really trying to be the same as everybody else.
And I want this to be about what is said, what you hear, not necessarily what you see.
But let me know what you guys think about the new lighting.
I'll guess I'll do what everybody else does and try to have professional lighting and everything else.
But we're probably going to have some new looks here in the studio very soon.
I could just turn it all off.
I could just go right back and just turn the lights back to the old one.
But I figured we'd just go with something different for tonight, see how you feel.
We're going to be trying some different things.
We're going to be trying some different things probably every week.
We're going to be adjusting some things here in the old studio and looking for the right look.
So please share your opinions.
Sharing your opinions.
Isn't that what it's all about?
That's what it's all about on Elon Musk's new X. And so let's talk about the wins and losses of Elon Musk's X. Now, from a biased perspective, from my bias perspective, X under Elon's ownership, 100 times better.
100 times better.
Why would that be my bias?
Well, because I was banned on X before, and now I'm allowed on X. So, of course, to me, X under Elon's ownership is better.
That's my bias point of view.
Unbiased neutral point of view.
Is Twitter or X better under Elon Musk?
Yes, without a doubt.
So much information and commentary wouldn't be happening on the internet if it wasn't for Elon Musk taking over X. And while I give a tip of the cap to Rumble, I give a tip of the cap to, I guess, the biggest competitor of Twitter.
Wow, how funny is that?
I have even forgotten what it was called.
I used to go live on it all the time.
But we saw a bunch of different.
I mean, Gab is still out there and is good.
Gab probably has the most free speech.
But let's just be fair.
It doesn't compete with X or Twitter.
But now this is going to bother me.
What was the name of the app that was like Twitter?
Get her.
Yes, get her.
Thank you.
Thank you.
But the amount of users on X, the amount of eyes on X, the amount of engagement on X is just unmatched.
And so there's no doubt that Twitter or X is better under Elon Musk's ownership.
I really don't even think that's debatable.
Now, I will say, I'm not somebody that likes being gaslit.
I'm not somebody that enjoys being lied to.
And so when I see this stuff about Elon saying X is free speech, X is free speech.
Well, X might be more free speech than, say, Facebook.
X might be more free speech than, say, YouTube, which, by the way, I mean, you got to give it up for Rumble.
Rumble has come a long way.
And Rumble is a fair competitor with YouTube.
Now, it doesn't have the audience on there as far as entertainment.
It doesn't have the users and the creators on there as far as content and the monetary value.
But for somebody like me, I'm comfortable with Rumble.
I never want to go back to YouTube.
And people always say, well, you should try to go back to YouTube, spread the word there, get the audience there.
And I'm just like, and I'm a bit obstinate like this, but I'm just like, fuck YouTube.
I don't want to go back on YouTube.
If they don't want me, I don't want them.
I'm not the kind of guy that likes to show up to a party I'm not invited to.
I'm not the kind of guy that wants to show up to events and parties.
I'm not welcome.
I'm not interested.
You don't want me there?
I don't want to be there.
And thanks to Rumble, I think we have a fair competitor to YouTube.
And Facebook, obviously, censored Instagram, all this other stuff.
So no doubt Twitter or X is better under Elon's ownership.
And no doubt, if it's not for Elon's taking over of X, a lot of these conversations, the videos, the stories wouldn't be getting the coverage.
A lot of the commentary, a lot of the discussion.
100% it's better universally.
But I don't like getting lied to and I don't like getting gaslit.
And I'm not going to sit here and pretend something exists when it doesn't.
X is not totally free speech.
And so it's hard to call it free speech at all, quite frankly.
Again, it might be more free speech in comparison to one of these other highly censored social media sites.
But to say that X is free speech is just not true.
There are still plenty of people that are banned on X. Some, I mean, what would you say is the most notable names?
What are the most notable names still banned on X?
One that gets a lot of discussion is Nick Fuentes.
But I don't think, I don't think it's just about Nick.
Nick is Nick's banning on X is just a symptom of a similar story that we see everywhere, especially today, which is the only thing that is banned with legislation.
Mike Adams is still banned on X?
I think Mike is back.
The only thing that is still banned on X, and now we have legislation that bans this from conversation, is quote-unquote anti-Semitic hate speech.
Anti-Semitic hate speech.
Louis Farrakhan still banned on X. Has he tried to come back on X?
Milo Yiannopoulos still banned on X?
Has he tried to come back on X?
Or are they still banned for anti-Semitic hate speech?
But you do have to wonder, why is that the only thing that's universally always considered hate speech and always censored?
Anybody critical of Israel or anybody that says something negative about Jews in general.
Now, Elon said he was Jew-ish.
I don't know if Elon is actually Jewish.
He doesn't believe that he is God's chosen one via his blood.
I don't know.
I've never seen him actually be serious about that.
He did go, he did go kiss the Jew after he did open up X to free speech.
And then there was a large conversation about Israel's genocide of the Palestinians and what was going on in the Gaza Strip and people criticizing Israel, saying they let October 7th happen.
And then Ben Shapiro roped him in and they went to Israel and went through the whole ritual.
And Elon Musk put on the small hat, made the joke about being Jew-ish.
And then what did we see immediately after that?
Criticism of Israel was censored by individuals like Lucas Gage.
And then you saw all these pro-Israel war ads lighting up your timeline.
So you can't say, you can't say that X is full free speech.
But look, you can criticize white people.
You can criticize black people.
You can criticize Muslim people.
You can criticize Hispanic people.
You can criticize illegal immigration.
You can criticize and go after all these groups, but somehow Israel and Jews still remain the biggest victim class and the most protected class.
It's just undeniable.
I'm just laying out basic facts here.
Is X better under Elon Musk?
Absolutely.
Is there still one religious group or political power broker group that still is above everybody else?
Yes.
This is the reality of the situation.
So I would still say X is better, but you have to observe that.
Now, if you're Elon Musk and you're making pragmatic decisions and you're basically weighing the consequences of, I mean, let's just put forward a hypothetical, and maybe it's not such a hypothetical because InfoWars actually went through this.
When we got banned on Facebook and YouTube and everything, we created our own app.
And so then we had an app, an InfoWars app, where you could scroll our stories, watch our live streams.
Well, our app itself got banned by Apple and Google.
So you couldn't even get our app anymore.
So let's say that now, now both sides of Congress voted against the new anti-there was an antitrust bill where they would have forced Apple and Google to allow any app on their store.
Both sides of Congress voted that down.
So the InfoWars app was still banned.
But so let's say you're Elon Musk and you want to turn your X app into the next be-all, end-all, number one app in America.
You want to turn it into a peer-to-peer digital currency exchange.
You want to turn it into a cell phone, a video conference, not to mention just what it originally was with Twitter.
Well, then you are making a pragmatic decision and you're putting on the Yarmulka and you're kissing the Jew and you're saying that, okay, I will ban anti-Semitic speech on this site.
And so that's what he did.
Now, I would view that as him making a pragmatic business decision.
You might not like it, but that's what I think Elon Musk's thought process is.
Now, some have made an insinuation that Musk, who is a top troll, there's no doubt about that, troll represent or troll respect troll in this case.
Some people say that this is Elon Musk making a statement by showing that, hey, look, I say it's free speech, but see, I'm still not allowed to have one particular type of speech on this website.
So I'll go over there and I'll wear a yarmulke and I'll make jokes and I'll hang out with Ben Shapiro and everything, and I'll let them promote a genocide in the Gaza Strip.
But anybody that engages in anti-Semitic hate speech will get banned, will get censored, and I'll stand up loud and proud for that.
But then the reverse of that is that the conversation happens and people again say, well, wait a second, why is it always the same story?
Why is it always the same story?
Why isn't, I mean, Nick Fuentes has to be the best example, but there have been others that have been censored along the way, like Lucas Gage.
I think maybe even James Lindsay at some point, Vincent James, maybe.
These are the names that come to mind, but it's always the same story, anti-Semitic hate speech.
So some people are saying, no, this is Elon Musk just in a very reverse nuanced way Saying something that he can't actually say.
Liquid Bacon in the Rumble Rants says, quote: If you want to know who controls you, look at who you are not allowed to criticize.
So, as far as the censorship issue is concerned, as far as the engagement issue, we'll get into that.
But there's no doubt X is better under Elon Musk.
And there's no doubt that as a free speech platform, X is now one of the top dogs.
And I would say if you had to weigh it all, if you had to weigh it all, Twitter or X is not leading the way in free speech, if the category is just free speech.
But if you weigh it all, Twitter or X is leading the way as far as the most important social media platforms are considered because of its size and its strength and its popularity.
Now, people are bringing up TikTok in the chats.
I had the TikTok stories on my desk and I just did not get to them today.
But basically, what you have is the Biden administration or whoever, you know, whoever runs it, I guess you would say.
It's not Joe Biden, the ghost of Joe Biden.
This whole TikTok ban is not what it seems.
In fact, I would argue, I would argue that the real story behind the TikTok ban is actually they want to get rid of X. And TikTok is kind of the red herring.
TikTok is kind of the straw man that they want you to talk about and they use China controlling TikTok as the excuse.
But let's understand a couple things so that we can give a fair analysis here.
The Chinese don't need TikTok to spy on you via your device.
The FBI worked with the Chinese government to unlock phones at the behest of the Chinese government, but they did not cooperate with the FBI.
So Apple cooperated with China, did not cooperate with the U.S. government.
Let's get that clear.
Apple cooperated with China, did not cooperate with the U.S. government.
Now, there could be multiple reasons for that.
I think the basic reasons are that China basically owns Apple.
That's how they're able to produce all of their tech and gadgets in China because they let the Chinese Communist Party own it.
So it's not an American company.
It's a Chinese company.
And so, yes, when China says jump, Apple has to say how high.
When the FBI says jump, Apple says get bent.
So they don't need TikTok to spy on you.
People will talk about all the propaganda on TikTok.
There's propaganda on your cable TV.
Propaganda is forced into your consciousness.
They don't need TikTok to get propaganda into your consciousness or to your children.
So it's not really about spying.
It's not really about propaganda.
Data harvesting, please.
They can get whatever data they want from you.
So all that stuff is just a straw man.
All that stuff is just a distraction, just a red herring, but it looks nice and it gives them the nice excuse.
So if they can take the action and set the precedent against TikTok, well, then guess what?
Now they can go after X, or now they can go after Rumble.
Like I'd always wondered this, and I actually finally installed it today.
You can get Rumble on your Roku device.
So if you have a Roku, you can download the Rumble app and bingo, you have Rumble on your home television set.
And less and less people are actually getting cable.
Less and less people have their cable boxes.
More and more people are switching to digital content, internet content.
And so cable is forced to adjust.
But to me, that's what the TikTok ban is really about.
And I understand conservatives want to jump onto this anti-Chinese Communist Party and this anti-TikTok propaganda feed because it makes sense on the surface.
And we always want to stand against the communists and any influence they have.
But it's not about TikTok.
TikTok is a straw man.
Now, I don't think they pull this off, especially, you know, with whatever it is, 300 days or whatever it is, 240 days till the election, it would do too much damage to the youth vote.
But they're drumming up this debate and this conversation because ultimately they want to ban X and ultimately they want to ban Rumble or anybody else that competes in the social media platform where there might be some semblance of free speech.
So that's the real story, I think, with TikTok.
And I think that that's Elon Musk is smart enough to realize all of this stuff.
He realizes what his goals are with X. He realizes the threat to his goals.
And so he's playing ball in the meantime to try and make do along the way.
So we have to be grateful in a way.
I mean, I don't know if that's a fair word to say.
Maybe that's a little heavy, say grateful, but appreciative.
I don't know.
I'm not going to sit here and be like, oh, Elon Musk gave up his money for free speech.
No, no, Elon Musk certainly probably cares more about free speech than the other social media giants.
But no, this isn't about Elon Musk giving up money for free speech because if that was the case, he would make Twitter or X a fully free speech platform.
It's like 95% free speech.
Elon Musk has much larger goals for X. That's what it's really about.
He has larger plans for X. In his eyes, he's making a smart investment because he has an vision.
He hasn't vision.
And he knows the biggest threats to his vision.
And so he's playing ball to try to get to his vision.
So I'm not this, oh, thank goodness, Elon Musk.
But at the same time, I'll call it like it is.
Twitter is now the most important app, social media platform when it comes to speech and when it comes to news and information.
All things considered, absolutely.
Now, there's one other thing that's happening on X now that I view as negative.
Now, because it's more open for dialogue and speech and engagement, and Musk has opened the door for content creators to make money, it's like clickbait on YouTube times a thousand.
Now, we've kind of gotten wiser to clickbait on YouTube.
It's kind of old hat.
So clickbait on YouTube is not what it once was.
But now you have what is the epitome of clickbait, except on X. Now, let me get a couple of examples here.
And I want to be clear that I'm not trying to single anybody out or call anybody out.
That's not what this is about.
But it's just about giving an example.
Now, maybe I should actually pull up this original post.
But what you have is people essentially engaging in clickbait and better described as engagement farming.
I would say better described as engagement farming because they know they can make money off of it.
I want to try to find this original post.
It takes me too long.
just abandoned.
But you may have seen this video of a comedian named Yima Yamini talking about if you wanted to be successful in comedy.
you had to suck off one of the producers, suck off one of the entertainment industries.
It looks like he may have actually erased the video from his X account because I'm scrolling through it and I can't find it, which is actually quite ironic.
Actually, quite hilarious.
So I'll just quit trying to find that and I'll play you the follow-up.
But basically, a comedian, Nima Yamini, claims that he was in a meeting to get a big comedy special, but you had to suck off the producers, and he rejected it.
And then the other guy he was with immediately got on his knees and started doing it.
Now, this went viral, got seen many times, millions of times.
The comedian he named was Matt Rife.
And then I guess there were multiple, there were multiple Matt Rife.
So then there was people saying it was this Matt Rife or that Matt Reif.
Well, then he comes out after that video was seen millions of times, claiming that he had to suck, he had to give oral sex to these entertainment producers to get a comedy tour.
It gets seen millions of times.
So then he comes out and makes this following statement.
unidentified
A while back, I did a parody video on my page, Alpha King Nima, about a comedian, Matt Reif.
Alpha King Nima is satire, it's jokes.
Then House of News on Twitter posted it without my name and context and passing my joke as a truth.
That was not my intention.
And they didn't have my permission.
I don't know Matt Rife.
I never met him.
But my silly joke shouldn't discredit him.
I really do wish him success.
And my content is entirely satire like onion.
And they took my funny video and basically didn't make it funny.
Now, I don't know enough about this guy to judge his character or his comedy or anything like that.
And so I'm just using this as an example of clickbait of engagement farming.
So it's like, oh, there's this trend right now about P. Diddy and Meek Mill and how, and Usher, and how if you want to be famous in the hip-hop community, specifically if you're black, you got to be a homo.
You got to suck somebody off.
You got to take it in the bum.
Otherwise, you're never going to make it.
And this has been talked about and discussed widely for decades.
People have known about this.
But now, because of this Diddy lawsuit, it comes out.
So he's like, oh, yeah, I'm going to make a joke about how I could have had a big deal, but I didn't commit to oral sex with this guy.
So look, my thing is, maybe he didn't know what he was doing.
I would think that he did.
But that's essentially clickbait.
That's the same difference as clickbait to me.
So you might say, oh, it's parody.
It's comedy.
I'm sorry, Matt Reif, after you already did it.
But did you not do it for clickbait?
Did you not do it for attention, whether you were kidding or not?
And the same thing goes with, you may have seen the Ryan Garcia phenomenon.
And I look at it now and I think this is a guy just promoting a fight.
But it's the same thing.
Ryan Garcia, a boxer who nobody had ever heard of before, starts talking about how he's been to Bohemian Grove and he's seen child sacrifice and they tortured and raped him and he's seen it and all this stuff.
And he goes from a nobody to a household name in a week in the conspiracy theory community, whatever political internet community.
And then he comes out and he's just like, oh, nope.
I'm not talking about it.
Even though he said he had video proof, he was going to show the video proof.
He was going to show it to everybody.
He was going to come out and expose it all.
Then all of a sudden he says, nope, I'm only talking about boxing.
none of it's real.
To me, he's probably just promoting a fight.
Now everybody knows his name who didn't, and he's got a fight coming up.
People will watch it that wouldn't have.
So is that the same phenomenon?
Engagement farming, clickbaiting.
And while there might be a level of innocence to it, here's what I view as not so innocent.
The situation with Bohemian Grove, the situation with P. Diddy and all this other stuff, that's real stuff.
That's real stuff.
That's real stuff that's going on.
It's kind of like last week, if you were following me on X on this account, I mean, really, I made the video go viral.
Somebody posts a video.
I'll pull it up.
Somebody posts a video of something that actually happened, but the video was fake.
This person made the video.
It wasn't an actual video.
And it's this tiny account that had like 2,000 followers at the time.
And then they made this video and I shared it.
And I said, what is this?
But this was a fake video.
This account made this video.
And then I shared it.
You can see that 1.6 million views.
And the thing went huge.
And people are saying, oh, look, it shows Democrats stealing elections.
Well, this person laughs about it, how he put it out there as bait, and how people took the bait.
And now he thinks he got one over.
Except the irony is that this is a real graphic of what actually happened.
There was a voter tabulation error that gave Garvey more votes.
And so they corrected the error.
Garvey lost hundreds of thousands of votes and Adam Schiff gained them.
That actually happened.
Now, you could say that that was a legitimate thing.
And every time there's a voter tabulation error, it always favors Democrats.
And so maybe that's legitimate.
But that actually happened.
That's an actual representation of what happened.
But that wasn't something that he made that and put it out there as bait.
Now, I clarified after this.
I said, hey, I don't know if this is real or not.
I investigated.
And then I did another follow-up video and I said, yeah, this doesn't look real.
But the situation actually happened.
So the same thing.
So they put this bait out there for engagement.
It's like clickbait.
But see, it's the same thing.
I don't take voter fraud lightly.
I don't take stolen elections lightly.
So it's the same thing.
I don't take child trafficking lightly.
I don't like when you joke about it when there's a real thing we're trying to look into.
I don't take the Hollywood entertainment industry all being blackmailed with sexual blackmail and then influencing children.
And they're all sexually blackmailed.
It's all propaganda.
I don't take that lightly.
That's a serious thing.
I don't take stolen elections lightly.
I don't take voter fraud lightly.
So what people do is they take these serious topics, they put out clickbait, fake stuff that they know is going to go viral.
They put it out there as bait.
And then once it goes viral and people are like, oh my gosh, are children being raped?
Are children being trafficked?
Oh my gosh, are elections being stolen?
What happened here?
Oh my gosh, all the entertainers in Hollywood and the music industry are all sexually blackmailed.
Oh my gosh, what's going on here?
And then it's, oh, it's just parody.
Oh, it's just comedy.
Oh, I was just putting bait out there.
So why am I bringing this up?
Because this is a loss on Elon Musk's X. You now have people engagement farming that since you get paid for impressions and engagement, you now have people engagement farming and using X to do it.
And they take real things that have real human interest, that have real issues, and they use it as clickbait.
They use it as impression bait.
They use it to engagement farm.
And then people are actually like, whoa, what's going on here?
We're serious about this.
We want to look into this.
And then they pull back and they say, oh, I was just kidding.
Or, oh, I was just promoting this or, oh, it was just parody.
And part of that, there might be an innocence to that in that, look, people that put clickbait on YouTube, it is what it is.
Is it evil?
No.
Is it deceptive?
Yes.
People that put clickbait on X now, it's the same thing.
And they might not realize that, hey, you know, there's a large group of people that really care about this stuff and they're trying to expose it so that it doesn't continue.
And then you just make a joke of it.
Well, we don't really appreciate that.
So that's kind of a loss of Elon Musk's X is that, but again, it's also a gain because now people are more inclined to use X to promote their news.
And it just creates more real discussion about real issues on the platform.
So it was smart for Elon to do that, but at the same time, at the same time, you can see that there is a negative that comes with that.
So all things considered, Elon Musk buying X has obviously been a positive.
But we look at it now, and I think we can start to see some of the problems that persist.
And I think we see some of the issues, and maybe we just have to be better as consumers on X. Maybe we just have to be better as users of X. You know, here's a more innocent example.
And, you know, I'd seen this, I'd seen this woman before.
I always thought that she was pretty good.
I never see her doing anything that I would view as negative, but she took a major L. But is she just engagement farming?
Samira?
Samira Khan, who clearly at this point either just hates white women or American women or is just engagement farming and posing as that.
But she started this TIFF with Hannah Baron, who's this big outdoor influencer, and like total sweetheart, just totally awesome.
Like how you could say anything negative about her is just ridiculous.
Well, Samira Khan found a way because I guess she just hates white women or American women.
And she's taken nothing but a loss here.
So much to the point where she tried to set herself up for a win and say, who would a man rather be with a Victoria Secret Angel or a tomboy?
So she thought she'd set herself up for a win here because people would say the Victoria Secret Angel.
Here, I'll even give her a bone here.
Yeah, I think I'd rather be with the Victoria Secret model than a tomboy, but she loses again.
She put up pictures of who would you rather be with?
Hannah Baron or all these other girls.
She makes fun of Sidney Sweeney.
I mean, so she's either just a hater or she's just a clickbaiter.
But that's the kind of stuff that goes on now.
And that's a little more innocent.
And actually, I look at it as a win because most people probably never knew who Hannah Baron was and they do now.
And she's totally awesome.
The irony is she's done a response video and she started a Twitter account now.
I mean, I'm sorry, but I'm sorry, sweetheart, but Hannah Baron is universally better looking than you are.
And yeah, you might be pretty.
You might be all right looking.
I'm not really big for the plastic face looking types.
I guess this is her.
I'm not really big for the plastic face and extra makeup and facelifts and Botox looking stuff.
That's not really my look.
Some guys like that, and that's fine.
I mean, she's not ugly, but she took a big L going after Hannah Baron, and she deserved it.
She goes after Sidney Sweeney and takes the L. She deserves it.
But is she engagement farming?
Yeah, here's the one that went viral.
I mean, imagine, imagine being triggered by this.
unidentified
Good morning, y'all.
Quick update on the house because I've been pretty terrible about giving y'all these.
We took a little break for noodling season and to put out boxes.
It's still coming together, and eventually you build bridges instead of burning them down.
So actually, I would argue that that's going to be healthy more so than negative, I would say.
But yeah, I mean, you want them to box it out.
Apparently, Shia Rychick is going to box some lady from Oklahoma that wants to show kids porn in the classroom.
So you got that going on.
So you got that going on.
All right.
Well, we got through the first hour.
Hour one in the books.
Glad everybody is along for the ride here.
We are doing big numbers on X tonight.
Want to give a big shout out to all my friends tuning in on X. Of course, always following the Rumble rants to all my normal friends there in Rumble Rants as well.
Ladies and gentlemen, Owenschroyer.store, Owenschroyer.store.
Now, listen, we did not come up with a new drop for March.
We did not come up with a new drop for March because we came out with so much merchandise in February that we decided to just not go with a new drop in March.
And so you can still get your Clown World hoodies.
You can still get your Defender of America, Texas barbed wire hoodies and t-shirts, Avenge America t-shirts and hoodies.
And we even brought back Owen Schroyer was right.
We brought back speech prisoner number one by popular demand.
So we brought back a couple of the oldies and the classics by popular demand.
So we're going to leave this up for March.
So all of these are still good for March.
Now, if you ordered the pants of the shorts, now I have to tell you, I apologize for the delays.
We finally got it taken care of.
I'm actually really, really happy with the way the pants turned out.
Very high quality.
And what I like about the logo is it's part of the fabric.
So it just looks really nice.
And we should be good as far as the delivery issues were concerned.
We had an issue with the delivery.
We apologize for the delays, but everybody should have gotten them by now.
I got mine.
I'm very excited.
In fact, I think I'm going to give this pair away.
In fact, I think we'll do a couple of giveaways.
I'm going to give this pair away to our highest Rumble rant tonight.
AIM is the leader in the clubhouse.
AIM, currently the leader in the clubhouse on the Rumble rant.
So AIM, you're set to get this pair of pants.
I'll do an autograph for you there as well.
And maybe we'll give away a t-shirt.
How about we give away a should we give away a t-shirt too?
What all do we have over here?
Should we give away a rise t-shirt?
What is this?
Maybe we'll give away a rise t-shirt.
This isn't even available anymore, by the way.
I think we'll do that.
Which one should we give away?
Should we give away the big logo?
I think we're going to go little logo.
Actually, we'll save this for next time.
We'll save this one for next time.
AIM, leader in the clubhouse.
Biggest Rumble rant gets the pair of pants tonight.

AIM, the leader in the clubhouse.
You've got my email.
We'll sign it for you too if you want, or you can get it unsigned, whatever you want.
But there it is, OwensroyerStore.com.
We're keeping this up for the rest of March.
We'll have new merchandise in April.
New merchandise in April.
So there you go.
Well, now that our one is in the books, we will go ahead and open up the phone lines.
Anyway, I just want to plug one more time for the X2.
I bought one for a family member and one for myself.
That stuff is just fantastic.
Even after I've stopped taking it for months at a time, I can still feel the positive effects, particularly like remembering people's names and stuff like that.
Just wanted to touch base again about the plans for the Global Republic, because that is the only way we're going to get out of this mess is by unifying the world behind the plans.
And then the illegals will begin to fall behind us, and we can then form New America with the Convention of States.
We could not have that Convention of States unless we unify the world first.
The process will take some time.
And during that time, the new republics are going to grow in, the new Republicans are going to grow in number.
They're going to help reset the Constitution back to the pre-1913 level with originalist updates by being in that position.
So the only answer to all of this death by a thousand cuts is unifying the world right now with the plans for the global republics.
That's 10 Americas based on the pre-1913, pre-progressive era U.S. Constitution with originalist updates.
And then we have the platform by which we have used the weight of the world against the globalists because they're getting us from a thousand fronts right now.
unidentified
The only way to stop it is providing the world is the plans.
They know America is a Frankenstein of what it was before.
And the only way that we can make this thing better is to bring it back the way it was with the Convention of States.
They want that freedom, even the Russians.
And Putin is just keeping control as a strongman with his government.
But I'm sure the people who would acquiesce to them would want to have a government like ours because they're structurally ineffective with their size of government as well.
They really need to emulate us, as does the European Union, which is totally corrupt.
So what I want to say is like, you know, everybody wants to organize things, but as soon as you, you know, bring out your idea, I mean, they're going to target this person.
I mean, you guys are targeted at InfoWars.
I mean, you guys have been fighting for so long, but like, I see what that guy wants to say and everything, but you get on some platform and you're trying to reach all these people.
The government will target you.
So I really don't see how some of these big plans would ever work out.
Well, here's what's here's the two windows I see that need to be opened.
One, and this is why if you listen to my commentary on the InfoWars War Room, I continue to talk about this.
This is why I get so upset when Trump gets backed into this corner and he said, as a authoritarian or somebody seeking revenge, justice is not revenge.
And even if you wanted to call it revenge, it'd be totally justified.
Trump is the one with the criminals going after him.
Trump is the one being wrongfully persecuted.
You know, these are the people committing treason against the country, not Trump.
So to go after criminals and to arrest criminals, that's not revenge.
That's not authoritarianism.
That's justice.
So I hate this narrative that he has to push back against.
So, I mean, forget about grandiose plans.
Arrest the criminals, right?
I mean, forget about all these ideas and all this stuff.
And everybody's got their own thing.
And everybody thinks this is how to do it and everything.
Arrest the damn criminals.
We know who the criminals are.
Trump has smoked all the criminals out just by existing politically.
We know who they are.
We have caught them red-handed.
That's all we need to do.
And once you've done that, you bring common sense back to DC.
You bring common sense back to your politics, your policy.
You put America first.
You thrive.
And I think everything falls into place like that.
That's how I see it going.
That's the vision I have.
That's the path I'm trying to pursue.
And it might be thin.
It might be a small shot, but to me, it's the best shot.
unidentified
It is.
You're right.
And he just said whatever it was, like the progress or just not a revenge tactic, not a, I'm going to get you guys.
Yeah, just the going forward and winning the country and doing better for the people is the result, the winning result.
He doesn't want to really damage the people, right?
He makes his own political decisions and his own mind up and his own measurements.
So I wouldn't phrase it that way.
That's the choice he makes, whatever.
I can sit here and Monday morning quarterback it all day long.
That's the choice he makes.
So I would just, I would advise Trump to push back and say, look, this isn't about revenge or me becoming authoritarian.
We have criminals running our government.
We have corruption running rampant in D.C. I don't want to just talk about draining the swamp.
We have traitors that need to be arrested, that need to be charged, that need to have a day in court so that we can see how our country has been robbed and looted and destroyed so much.
And I get maybe for him, it's like, if I softball this and I take it with more of a soft glove approach, then I won't be upsetting potential voters in November.
So I'm thinking maybe that's his mind.
unidentified
Yeah, it's tough, but I know.
He just wants good for the country and the people.
That's what I believe.
I don't think he's a bad guy out for some crazy revenge at all.
But no, I just wanted to quickly touch on like some of it, like you were talking about the pros and cons on X like that.
You know, I think one of the cons has been almost, and I don't know if this is necessarily a result of Elon Musk's, you know, like kind of de-censorship or whatever, some of the stuff on X. But it's really kind of recently, I've noticed a lot more of like the really like heated, negative like infighting within some of the people like in the conservative movement, particularly one person.
I'm not going to mention who it is, but you know, they're kind of on the InfoWars, you know, side of things or whatever.
And I think they've even been on InfoWars before, but it's just like constant negative, like personal shots on people on our side.
No, actually, you know, me, I've never really been, I see a lot of hate from some people I like, you know, that like hate on Laura Loomer, but I mean, I actually like, like, have never really seen anything that would make me like say like, you know, I would turn me off.
Like this week, really recently, it hit me exactly what you're talking about.
Now, now, I've addressed kind of what you're talking about and the infighting and all that stuff before and how I'm against it.
And let's stay focused on the target and the enemy and all that stuff.
But I realized something.
It hit me this weekend.
The reason why we see this now, whether it's cultural conservatism debates or, you know, all these other debates about what's Christian conservatives or what's not, or what do we move forward with, all this other stuff.
I think that the reason this is happening is our movement is now so big.
Our populist movement is now so massive and it embodies and encompasses so many people now that naturally you're going to start having these kind of groups separate, idealists separating, purists separating.
It's inevitable.
The paradox is that we don't get the political victories.
And so that's why we're kind of wallowing in confusion.
Usually you don't have these sex and infighting breaking off until you have total political victory.
Well, we haven't had total political victory because our elections get stolen and all the shenanigans and crime that happens in the election process.
Normally, we would have total political victory, and then you'd start to see these different groups and debates and infighting breaking off because you have such a large body politic.
But so that's the paradox is our group is so big.
Our group is so populist.
It's so large now that we're having all these fractions and splitting off.
And normally this happens after you've had total political victory.
So we haven't had the total political victory because our elections get stolen, but we're going through the next level of these different in-groups and out-groups and fractional groups and cultural debates and political purists and all this other stuff happening because we've already completely got such a large group with us politically now that we've already advanced next level, but we don't have our political victories yet.
So that's kind of the paradox, but it's really natural to be going through this.
These would normally be different parties separating is what you would be going.
So usually what you'd have is this populist movement would have taken over the entire body politic and had nothing but political victories and now be the dominant party.
We've been denied that.
So now that you have this dominant populist party, you start to have these fractional groups over here, these fringe groups over here, new parties forming over here, different cultural ideas over here, political ideas over here.
But we've reached that level, but we haven't actually reached the level before that because we got denied it.
And I feel like this is something that needs to be put as far as like the infighting and the arguing.
And I know we talked last week about, you know, like the divide between social conservatism and political conservatism.
All that needs to be put on the back burner, at least for this year, to make sure that we can ensure a fair election so that Trump can get back in office.
And then after that, you know what I mean?
Like the battle's really still not won, but you can let up on some of the gas there at that point.
But I just feel that, I don't know, like it kind of ties into the whole issue with the girl that was, you know, like the, that was showing like remodeling her hops and that.
Like that directly ties into who I'm talking about that was like taking shots at her.
So the person that I had mentioned before that I won't say by name that's taken some real hard shots at other people, the thing that really turned me off was she was taking shots at the girl that was doing like the house remodeling and that you played earlier.
It was kind of like we were talking about last week.
It's just a horrible cultural take that is just going to completely turn a lot of people off of anything else that you have to say positive that could better our chances at taking America back.
One, because of this internet social media phenomenon, and really Rush Limbaugh used to talk about this all the time.
People are going to get a large platform that really don't deserve it.
It used to take a lot of effort and a lot of building of a reputation and respect to get a large platform.
But now virtually anybody can get a large platform on Twitter.
And if you know how to rig the algorithms and you know the right things to put up and how to get attention, then you can develop a large platform.
And then, you know, once you start opening your mouth more, people realize that you might have some trash opinions.
But let's also remember that it's like what I talked about earlier.
There's massive engagement farming happening right now on X. And so people will just open their mouth and comment on everything because they think that it's going to help them get engagement.
Yeah, I'm just calling about I noticed a lot of siren stuff going off.
i just wanted to bring up i thought that's very weird and uh i'm wondering if it has to do with like the illegal immigration stuff because it's just where are you in where are you in arizona I live in Chandler.
Well, no, I was going to say, I'm hoping that Rubio and whoever it was that put forth some kind of legislation finally shut the thing down and we don't change it again.
You know, I liked Laura when she had her radio show.
I had no problems.
And she was always good friends with Michael Savage, who I listened to a lot growing up.
And then when she stabbed Savage in the back, that was it.
I lost respect.
I mean, granted, look, she's okay on Fox News.
I mean, she's not a net negative, I guess you would argue.
But when she stabbed Savage in the back, that was my last straw.
And I've met her, and I'm just, I don't know, there's something about, there's something about 4'11 women, 85-pound women having that much influence that just feels wrong.
You know, as soon as you picked up the phone, I knew you were a broadcaster.
You can just tell by your voice.
unidentified
Is that right?
Well, I started playing the hits when I was in my early 20s down on the Florida Panhandle in Panama City and ended up in the big-time record business for 30, 30 years.
And anyway, it was during that period of time.
You know how when Alex gets callers on Owen?
And at the end, he always says, what do you propose we do about it, right?
I've been helping people understand this for 13 years.
And we've never had one incident of blowback from either the Secretary of State, who's the head guy here in this instance, the Department of Justice, IRS, or FBI.
Okay.
And probably several million people also acquiring passports.
Would you like for me to give you a little skeletal of what they've done?
You know, in the start of our country, when we founded, we were under the Articles of Confederation for a number of years, and then there were holes in that, and they ended up passing the Constitution, right?
So from that time to the 1868, after the Civil War, there was only one political status in the United States, and that was a state citizen.
And you were a citizen of your state, and there was no federal citizenship.
In fact, the people that were born and raised in D.C. and the territories up to that time were stateless because they had no organized entity over them.
They had no one to give them their rights and give their duties to.
They just kind of collectively handled all the duties that the states couldn't handle by themselves.
They couldn't all afford to have a Navy.
They couldn't all afford to have an ambassador in England and France and Moscow.
So they would combine those types of activities through a non-defined federal government, loosely defined.
After the Civil War, we created a second political status, not the state citizen, but a federal citizen.
And the predominant amount of them were former black slaves, not exclusively, but by the vast majority.
So that was called a citizen of the United States, right?
I know, but I'm going to show, see, you've been enslaved in your mind, okay?
And I'm going to ask you two questions you've been asking them all your life, and then I'd like to ask you the questions what they're really asking you, okay?
Well, the first thing we have to do is a state, maybe it's Texas, somebody just has to come out and say the federal government has no jurisdiction here.
And so if they want to come after me, like they did, and the FBI wants to come after me, and they don't want to indict me, and they want to throw me in a federal prison, like they did, then my governor in Texas or my attorney general in Texas comes out and says, you have no jurisdiction here.
And we're not going to be extraditing a Texan to Washington, D.C. We will not cooperate with you.
And so there's a million different ways to skin this cat.
So you talk about keep it simple, stupid.
Well, there's a million simple ways to skin this cat.
But we all understand the federal government is out of control.
These are unelected bureaucracies that are running our country now.
And somehow they're above Congress, which is not how it's supposed to be.
Somehow they're above the Bill of Rights, which is not how it's supposed to be.
So really, it should be a simple correction, of course.
It's already laid out in front of us, but we have to have that recognition.
We have to have that understanding in our consciousness as Americans.
And this is why the divide and conquer is so important, folks.
They divide us in all these different political footballs.
And then the next thing you know, we've lost all of our God-given rights.
And now we're sitting here in petty bickering between one another about, I mean, do we have a border?
Do we not have a border?
Can we say a legal immigrant?
Do you have to say undocumented immigrant?
And all this other petty BS.
So, I mean, the only person that has laid out anything like this on a massive political stage is Vivek Ramaswamy.
So I go through the zap machine and I forgot to put my necklace on the back of my back.
Like you can wear your necklace, but you just have to put the pendant on your back.
I forgot to do that.
And as soon as I come out of the machine, I'm like, oh, I forgot my necklace.
Oh, yeah.
And then they look at me, they're like, oh, yeah, we're going to have to pat you down.
And then I got pissed off.
I'm like, are you fucking kidding me?
So, and I just start letting them have it.
I'm like, so you're telling me you're going to cut me down when I literally just told you and showed you my necklace when there's thousands of millions of illegal people crossing through our border right now and you're going to pat down an American citizen.
Well, you probably triggered some protocol for yourself and they might not even, they wouldn't have even have noticed if you didn't say it, but then they had to because it's some protocol.
But your overall point is well heard.
People walk across the border and there's barely any security, but you have to get frisked to fly if you're a citizen.
Now you have to get frisked to ride at the subway in New York if you're a citizen.
So, yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
So then she first meeting, she says, oh, every time you interrupt me, I have to restart.
And then I just keep going a little bit.
But then I'm like, oh, okay, shut up, Natalie.
And then I let them do it.
And they're like, oh, you're going to let me touch you.
I'm like, oh, yeah, please.
And I have my arm spread over.
I'm like, please, come on, let's go, baby.
I'm making a joke out of them.
And then they do their thing.
Obviously, I don't have anything on me.
And then they have my phone and they have all my, they take one of my bags that they're going to proceed to check.
I hear them on the radio.
They call police.
They're like, oh, yeah, we have a situation.
This growing all gray, blah, blah, blah.
So there's a police officer coming, make me wait for about 10 minutes.
And then they go through my bag, whatever.
And then they ask me for my phone number.
And I'm like, why?
May I ask you why?
I wasn't being, I wasn't telling them that.
I wasn't being belligerent.
I was just really like, why?
May I ask why?
Well, it's a part of our investigation.
And I'm like, hey, he can do this with the center of government.
And so I don't know if I should say this, but I did not give them my correct phone number.
We have seen, I have seen some of those um chemtrails, and I've done that uh cast where you take a snowball in your home and you light the lighter on it and see if it melts.
Pandemic Or Ukraine?00:05:07
unidentified
Yeah, no, we have some steak snow here, it takes a little bit of time to melt.
Yeah, I don't think they're going to use a pandemic to do anything before the election, at least in the current timetable that we have, maybe after Trump, even after, even after.
Yeah.
Well, but here's the thing: Trump has remained consistent in that it's going to be optional.
So, I mean, I'm not going to take it.
unidentified
Well, I agree.
I'm not either.
I didn't, I hadn't worn a mask.
I hadn't taken a vaccine.
I'm proud of both of them, but you know, it's just that's just more American citizens that are getting crapped on.
You know, I don't know.
It's not a good option.
I mean, like, what options do we have?
They're going to try to spur us into like some type of civil conflict, and we can't do that because then they're just going to use the government to put us all in jail.
We can't elect somebody who's anti-vaccine because they don't have the popular vote.
It's just we need more people running for Congress that are actually going to stand up and say the truth like Marty Taylor Greene has done, even though I don't agree with her on everything, but she's trying.
I talked about this on the uh InfoWars war room today.
unidentified
Oh, I know, I heard you listen every day.
I just don't understand why you know the whole saying, you know, they came for this guy, I didn't stand up, so I wasn't him.
They came for that guy, they're coming for all of us.
So, at some point, you've got to stop saying, Oh, I'm just gonna prep, I'm just gonna prep over here, and when they come down my driveway, I'm gonna take them out.
Well, no, you're not because you're gonna be alone because you haven't.
We've got to build up a resistance together or they're gonna take us out one by one.
I really don't think Russia is a threat to us at all.
I think Putin looks at this like the more corrupt the leadership in the U.S. is and the more they want to use Ukraine as a vessel state.
I mean, he cares.
I think he cares about Ukraine.
I think he understands the historic significance of Ukraine.
I think he does care about the people in Ukraine as much as he can, as far as those that are wanting to be loyal to Russia.
But when the West wants to use Ukraine as a vessel state, well, that makes Ukraine weak and easier to conquer.
So, it's like if Putin wants to conquer Ukraine, then it being a vessel state of the West is the easier time to do it.
And I mean, really, you could sit here and say the fear is that they're playing a game of nuclear chicken, but I think Putin's just like, okay, hollow out Ukraine and it'll make it easier for us to move in and take it over.
unidentified
I agree with that 100%.
But why is Germany and all them not pissed off in America?
Hey, man, you've had some interesting guests this evening.
You know, I don't know what's going on with InfoWars, but, you know, the archives on that stuff, if they shut you guys down, where are we going to find that to repost it?
For example, like if you go on InfoWars.com and you go up to, I don't know, it's second or third bar down, they've got like health archives and they've got science and tech.
And I mean, you guys really put some hard-hitting crap up there, like that vaccine news come out today that you're you got vaccinated, you're you know, you got a health problem, you know, bad cancer way the hell up.
But it's like, do you guys have any thoughts on where they can put that?
Like, I know there used to be a guy, General Shepherd, uh, that put a lot of archive stuff out for that.
Have you thought, have you guys thought about that?
Well, these guys, guys, I, you know, I'm not done.
So, originally that day, I wanted to break down on Jonathan Cohen.
He shook hands with Eric Adams with the Joco Bikes, and they built a new hub where they basically parked like four or five hundred orange bikes that they give to the migrants.
But I wanted to, you know, I just thought it was funny that this guy, you know, Eric Adams crying about, oh, we don't know what to do with all the guys, but yet we're supplying them with all the work.
And they're moving all the monopoly around the Uber.
There's only like one kingpin from Spider-Man, but he reminds me of that.
Like he blends in like so well, I'm your best friend, but he's so not your best friend.
And he's playing with the public.
And there was one thing I also wanted to talk about because this guy, Leroy Press, aka Viral News, he's a very prestigious person within the movement that supplies footage from New York City.
It's basically like an in-real life independent journalist that goes around on Instagram or on Telegram and he posts his stuff.
But today I had, it was funny.
I had a disagreement with him on his platform on Instagram.
And I never put it out there publicly.
I always bring him up in public eyes.
That guy's amazing.
That guy's good.
But I wrote to him about, he was saying something about how nurses in the medical field should get more involved with the policing and law enforcement to basically help people that are mentally challenged on the trains.
And I just thought it was a very dangerous thing since they passed Rule 2.13 and the appeals court in the favor of Governor Hochel, which the health department can literally vacate your rights and separate families and quarantine the families, basically.
It's like, obviously, I've been forced to think about this issue a lot because it's one of the biggest human rights issues, human interest stories going on right now.
But it's nothing new.
It's been the same story.
But obviously, I've been thinking about it and analyzing it.
And I feel like we really can't even have a proper discussion about it because people are too afraid of being called an anti-Semite or they're too afraid of being censored.
I mean, I respect certain Jews that are just honest about their opinions and how they feel.
I respect that more than somebody that's trying to deceive like a Rabbi Shumley.
I mean, if I was Jewish and I saw what Rabbi Shumley is doing, I'd denounce him immediately.
I mean, every Jewish American should be denouncing that absolute scumbag.
There's religious, there's Orthodox, but then there's political Jews.
And that's where the whole Jewish supremacy issue comes in.
And that's why we have to have this constant back and forth with you're not even allowed to talk about it.
You're not even allowed to notice it.
You're not allowed to criticize it because it's like this political Judaism where they somehow are supposed to be governing all of us because they believe they're God's chosen people.
Well, not in my country, not my religious beliefs.
And so, but if you talk about it, you get shut down.
I didn't live in the area, but it was a neighboring area called Ledoux, very wealthy area in St. Louis, one of the most wealthy areas in the Midwest.
And it was a heavily, it was a very heavy Jewish area.
I hung out with Jewish kids all the time.
I was friends with them.
They didn't, that's what I'm saying.
There's like religious Jews, there's political Jews, and then there's just your average person that's just raised in a Jewish household and doesn't think about any of this.
So it's all the same story.
The people at the top, the people that are seeking power, the people that are power hungry, money hungry, want centralization and want to dominate you, whether they're communists, whether they're Jews, whether they're anybody.
That's the same story.
And it's all about collectivism and centralization.
And in America, it's not supposed to exist no matter what.
