How can you have any negative feelings when Avicii is playing?
What's wrong with you?
What's wrong with you?
And if you don't like Avici, then there's something else wrong with you.
We might need to get your head checked.
So, Owen Schroyer Live, episode 71, Julian Assange is free.
What a great day for justice.
What a great day for journalists imprisoned for their journalism, for their speech.
Now, having said that, it's a shame what Julian Assange had to go through.
I believe it was 1,900 days in prison.
I think it was 1,900 days.
I'm going to get that exact Message.
Let me pull it up here from the Wikileaks page.
This is the official statement from the WikiLeaks page.
Reading from it now.
Julian Assange is free.
He left Belmarsh maximum security prison on the morning of June 24th after having spent 1,901 days there.
He was granted bail by the High Court in London and was released at Stansted Airport during the afternoon, where he boarded a plane and departed the U.K. This is a result of a global campaign that spanned grassroots organizers, press freedom campaigners, legislators, and leaders from across the political spectrum all the way to the United Nations.
This created the space for a long period of negotiations with the U.S. Department of Justice, the U.S. Department of Justice.
The U.S. Department of Justice.
Leading to a deal that has not yet been formally finalized.
We will provide more information as soon as possible.
After more than five years in a two-by-three-meter cell, isolated 23 hours a day, miserable.
Just miserable.
Oh, my gosh.
He will soon reunite with his wife, Stella Assange, and their children who have only known their father from behind bars.
Wikileaks published groundbreaking stories of government corruption and human rights abuses, holding the powerful accountable for their actions.
As editor-in-chief, Julian paid severely for these principles and for the people's right to know.
As he returns to Australia, we thank all who stood by us, fought for us, and remained utterly committed in the fight for his freedom.
Julian's freedom is our freedom.
More details to follow.
Well, it'll be interesting to see what kind of health he's in.
He looked all right walking on the plane.
His pants were a little disheveled and such, but probably hasn't worn formal clothes like that for a while.
So it'll be interesting to see what his first statements to the public are.
And you hope that those torturous years haven't wreaked too much havoc on him, on his mental health.
And this has got to be the top story right now.
But he's boarded an airplane, so hopefully he'll be able to spend some time very shortly with his family.
So we're going to be monitoring this.
Now, anybody who's not celebrating this probably likes government corruption, probably likes war.
But, you know, Assange was a hero to the left when Bush was in office.
And then when he continued to expose the war crimes of the Obama administration and then released the Democrat emails, all of a sudden the American left hated him.
Oh, when he works for us, we love him.
But when he shows corruption in our party, we want nothing to do with him.
Isn't that convenient?
Here's a couple word: here's a couple words from Julian Assange from years ago.
Even Chelsea Clinton, the Wikileaks email show, expressed serious concerns about conflicts of interest at the Clinton Foundation and the State Department.
I know there is something having to do with Julian Assange.
I've been seeing what's happened with Assange, and that will be a determination, I would imagine, mostly by the Attorney General, who's doing an excellent job.
I am curious what the details behind this release are.
Thomas Massey making a statement on the freedom of Julian Assange.
My plane landed in D.C. and I just heard Julian Assange will soon be free due to a deal.
His liberation is great news, but it's a travesty that he's already spent so much time in jail.
Obama, Trump, and Biden should have never pursued this prosecution.
Pardon Snowden and free Ross now.
So Edward Snowden deserves a pardon, and Ross Ulbrick deserves to be freed from prison.
And that's who Thomas Massey is referring to there.
So just checking the latest news on this.
Here's more from Assange years ago talking about how he exposed lies that drag countries unwillingly into wars.
unidentified
No society anymore.
What there is is a transnational security elite that is busy carving up the world using your tax money.
To combat that elite, we must not petition.
We must take it over.
We must form our own networks of strength and mutual value, which can challenge those strengths and self-interested values of the warmongers in this country and in others that have formed hand in hand an alliance to take money from the United States.
from every NATO country, from Australia, and launder it through Afghanistan.
Julian Assange has been locked up, formerly or effectively, for 13 years.
He spent the last four in a prison in London.
What did Julian Assange do wrong?
Well, initially they accused him of a sex crime.
They were trying out to be fake, more lies.
His real crime was reporting reporting, reporting, like journalism, accurate information that Western leaders wanted to keep hidden because it embarrassed them.
So a new documentary offers perspective on what has happened to Assange.
It's told from the perspective of his father, John Shifton, Shipton, as well as his wife, Stella Morris.
The film is called Ithaca.
Here's the trailer.
unidentified
My name is John Shifton.
I'm Julian Assange's father.
WikiLeaks found that Julian Assange has been arrested.
One of the most notorious and controversial figures in custody.
Assange will remain behind bars until that extradition hearing, which has been set down for the end of February.
I urge the Department of Justice to drop the charges.
The maximum jail sentence of 175 years because he published the truth.
How does it fail to be the father of such a controversial figure to be made around the world?
So John, just to you first, the obvious question, are you any closer to getting your son out of prison tonight?
unidentified
No, no closer.
But we have a rising tide worldwide of support.
Every parliamentary democracy in the Western world has an Assange support group within it.
And we characterize the previous election of government in Australia as an Assange government because each of the successful candidates and the Independents and the Greens stood on a platform of bring Assange home to Australia.
Well, the National Security DOJ are the ones who are behind this prosecution of Julian.
I think if they would re-look at this case and realize that they are prosecuted someone for doing what journalists do every day, publish or what they should be doing, publishing without fear or favor, then they would realize that this prosecution needs to come to an end and that they should listen to outlets like yours,
as well as the New York Times, as well as many other groups, human rights groups, free press groups, and First Amendment advocates who are all calling for this prosecution to be dropped because of the threat that it poses to the First Amendment in the USA.
I don't understand, John, how politicians can get up and say they support democracy and simultaneously support the imprisonment of a man for telling the population what the government is doing in its name.
unidentified
I don't understand it myself.
You know, the gold of the United States Constitution is, of course, the rights and, of course, fundamentally, the First Amendment.
Why they want to truncate their own magnificent gift to humankind has got us beat.
But we keep on and we keep on getting more and more support.
I think we've got 52 screenings around the United States with Q ⁇ A. So if people come along, they can get the full story and ask a question of anything they doubt or want to know further.
And I hope that this spurs a discussion about the contents of all the WikiLeaks releases,
from the war crimes to, yes, The Pizzagate emails, where they appear to be speaking in code language about hot dogs and pizza-related maps and hot dog parties,
and then blatantly describe having children, quote, in the hot tub for your entertainment.
Now, it's assumed that it was Seth Rich that turned these emails over to WikiLeaks, and that is what ultimately got him killed.
Perhaps he was just upset that they stole the election from Bernie Sanders, that is the Democrat primary, I should say, from Bernie Sanders, and that's why he released it so that you could see how the Democrats rigged the election against Bernie.
But then the other details we found in there were a lot more sordid and controversial, weren't they?
Here's Julian Assange talking about Hillary Clinton.
There's an early 2014 email from Hillary Clinton, so not so long after she left Secretary of State, to her campaign manager, John Podesta.
That email, it states that ISIL, ISIS, is funded by Saudi Arabia and Qatar, the governments of Saudi Arabia and Qatar.
Now, this is a, I actually, I think this is the most significant email in the whole collection.
And perhaps because Saudi and Qatari money is spread all over the place, including into many media institutions.
All serious analysts know even the U.S. government has mentioned or agreed with that some Saudi figures have been supporting ISIS funding ISIS.
But the dodge has always been that's what it's just some rogue princes using their cut of the oil money to do whatever they like, but actually the government disapproves.
But that email says that, no, it is the governments of Saudi and the government and Qatar that have been funding ISIS.
unidentified
The Saudis, the Qataris, the Bahrainis, particularly the Saudis and the Qataris, are giving all this money to the Clinton Foundation while Hillary Clinton is Secretary of State and the State Department is approving massive arms sales, particularly to Saudi Arabia.
Under Hillary Clinton, and our Clinton emails reveal significant discussion about it, the largest ever arms deal in the world was made with Saudi Arabia, more than $80 billion.
In fact, during her tenure as Secretary of State, total arms exports from the United States in terms of their dollar value doubled.
unidentified
Doubled.
And of course, the consequence of that is that this notorious terrorist jihadist group called ISIL or ISIS is created largely with money from the very people who are giving money to the Clinton Foundation.
And the biggest problem, the only people that ever faced any justice, any retribution, any punishment, any questioning, I shouldn't say people, the only person was Julian Assange.
Hillary Clinton never did.
None of the people in the DNC emails ever did.
Barack Obama never did.
George Bush, his administration never did.
But Julian Assange did because he exposed them.
Let's hear more from Julian Assange talking about the war crimes that he exposed in his work at WikiLeaks that landed him in prison for 1900 days.
unidentified
Because the goal is not to completely subjugate Afghanistan.
The goal is to use Afghanistan to wash money out of the tax bases of the United States, out of the tax bases of European countries, through Afghanistan, and back into the hands of transnational security law.
They go into a country, find allies against the government, train them up, ideologically indoctrinate them, organize them, give them supply lines, and help them take down the government.
And a key aspect of that is the Department of State and U.S. embassies and special forces teams are led in the formal sense by the U.S. Ambassador in that particular country if there is diplomatic relations occurring.
Nearly every war that has started in the past 50 years has been a result of media lies.
unidentified
The media could have stopped it if they'd searched deep enough.
If they hadn't reprinted government propaganda, they could have stopped it.
But what does that mean?
Well, that means basically populations don't like wars.
And populations have to be fooled into wars.
Populations don't willingly and with open eyes go into a war.
So if we have a good media environment, then we'll also have a peaceful environment.
We have the right to publish information, all of us.
How can it be that a journalist and publisher operating from Europe can be extradited to the United States?
We don't operate in the United States.
We don't publish from the United States.
So that's a that's a threat to all journalists around the world, wherever they operate, that if they expose serious abuses occurring in the national security domain, there's a threat to extradite them, publish it to extradite them or indict the organization.
And again, this broke just before Owen Troyer live goes live at 8 p.m.
Central on Mondays and there haven't been any other details released yet.
But they said it was a plea deal and they gave him bond.
So I am just curious what some details that led to this are.
Because there'd been a lot of back and forth before we got to this point.
Finally, here's a statement from RFK Jr.
Julian Assange struck a plea deal and will go free.
I am overjoyed.
He's a generational hero.
The bad news is that he had to plead guilty to conspiracy to obtain and disclose national defense info, which means the U.S. security state succeeded in criminalizing journalism and extending their jurisdiction globally to non-citizens.
Julian had to take this.
He has heart problems.
Oh, wow.
And he would have died in prison, but the security state has imposed a horrifying precedent and dealt a big blow to freedom of the press.
So it sounds like he cuts the deal.
He takes the guilty plea and they say, okay, we'll send you home to spend the rest of your life with your family.
I'm also told that they forced him to take a vaccine while he was in prison.
Forced to take a vaccine when he was in prison.
And now he has heart problems.
Now, you don't want to leap to any conclusions, but certainly makes you think, doesn't it?
Certainly makes you think.
Let's not forget about the spirit cookings that the Democrats talk about.
Here's Clandestine talking about the spirit cookings.
Yeah, Democrats like spirit cookings.
To John Podesta from Tony Podesta, are you in New York City Thursday?
Marina Abramovich wants you to come to dinner.
I'm so looking forward to the spirit cooking dinner at my place.
Spirit cooking, folks.
That's what these Democrats are into.
You want to see a spirit cooking?
You want to see a spirit cooking?
See what those are like They just take blood and feces and semen and paint it on the wall and do a little spirit cooking Marina Abramovich.
She's an artist or a witch or both.
This is the type of stuff that was exposed by WikiLeaks.
again if you if you don't know about this it's putting blood and feces on a on a child uh mummy A sarcophagus of a child or whatever the hell that is.
This is what the Democrats are into.
This is what they talked about in their emails.
You know, the more you look at this, the more you think about this.
unidentified
How much control does Hillary Clinton really have?
Is Hillary Clinton the reason why Roger Stone had to go to jail?
Is Hillary Clinton the reason why Alex Jones has to be shut down?
Is Hillary Clinton the reason why Donald Trump has to be arrested?
Is Hillary Clinton the reason why Seth Rich got killed?
Is Hillary Clinton the reason why Julian Assange went to prison?
Is it really Hillary Clinton?
Is it the demon Hillary?
is she doing spirit cookings to torture us so i see people in the comments saying they've never seen this Folks, this is a spirit cooking.
This is what Democrats are into.
It was exposed by Julian Assange in the WikiLeaks emails in 2016.
This is what Democrats do.
This is what Hillary Clinton Democrats are into.
That's Marina Abramovich with blood and feces and semen and urine in a spirit cooking.
That's what you're watching.
This is Democrat Party politics.
Have you ever seen the Podestas art?
look up podesta art if you've never seen it marina abramovich popular democrat She's the first ever Microsoft hologram person.
Did you know that when you go into the Microsoft digital reality, Marina Abramovich is like the queen of Microsoft digital reality?
Do you know that?
Hey, I'm sorry.
Today we're celebrating Julian Assange's freedom, but we're celebrating his life work, exposing the war criminals, exposing the election rigors, exposing the spirit cookers.
Now, look, I understand there's a lot of people that probably don't know about this.
Maybe you weren't following politics in the Bush era when Julian Assange was doing great work.
Maybe you weren't following politics in the Obama years when Julian Assange was doing great work.
Maybe you weren't following politics in 2016 when the Democrat emails, the Clinton emails, were published at WikiLeaks that exposed this.
This is barely scratching the surface, folks.
This is barely scratching the surface of what was in those emails.
Pizzagate was real.
Now, I'm not sitting here saying it was this place or that place or this individual or that individual.
Pizzagate is real because they started using what appear to be code language in these Democrat emails using pizza and pizza toppings and pasta and hot dogs for code language.
And then people just looked into it and it's like, oh yeah, it's popular for pedophiles online to use that as code language.
Because you can't talk about trafficking kids and, you know, what pedophiles are into.
So they used code language with pizza and toppings.
And that's what Pizzagate was really all about.
That came out in the WikiLeaks emails.
Honestly, that was one of the craziest times ever when that came out.
And I went deep down that rabbit hole.
I talked about some of it on air.
Got in trouble real quick.
Oh, they got you to back off real quick.
But the question was never answered.
Why do they use pizza and pizza-related maps and hot dogs and pasta as code language?
And why do they talk about having kids, minors, in the hot tub for your entertainment at parties?
And why are they promoting what appears to be a satanic ritual, a spirit cooking with Marina Abramovich, all in Democrat Party emails?
So if you're new to this, it's a rabbit hole that I've probably just opened for you.
And you've not even gone a foot in yet.
You've just seen it open up.
This is what WikiLeaks exposed.
So we celebrate Julian Assange freedom and we pray for his health.
Liz Churchill just shared this.
And I don't know if this is an official tweet from Julian Assange or a fake, but Liz Churchill just shared this.
Might be real.
Hillary Clinton to Anderson Cooper, Russian meddling bigger than Watergate because it is about the future.
Of course, Russian meddling was fake.
And so Julian Assange, should this be a real tweet?
I don't know.
You guys can check it.
Says, Pizzagate cost me the election.
I don't know.
Did is that?
Again, I ask, how much of this is the demon Hillary really behind?
Seth Rich?
The deplatforming of Alex Jones?
The arrest of Julian Assange?
The persecution of Donald Trump?
Not to mention the Clinton body count.
How much of this is that demon Hillary Clinton really behind?
I think that's a fair question to relitigate because we tend to think of her as being in the past because she's a loser, but maybe she's still around and she's the reason why we suffer so much because of Hillary Clinton.
I haven't seen anyone else comment on this currently in the presidential race other than Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
Here's another comment from RFK Jr.
Next steps.
The United States government should build a monument to Assange in Washington as a civics lesson for the American public about the importance of free speech.
RFK racking up wins tonight.
RFK wrapping up W's tonight.
Free Edward Snowden to demonstrate our commitment to government transparency.
Free Ross Oldbrick to show our commitment to trans actional freedom.
RFK Jr. just stacking up the W's today.
Just stacking them up.
Good for him.
I don't expect Biden to say a damn thing.
Hillary Clinton will yank the leash on him.
Trump 50-50, Trump says anything.
We'll see.
I doubt Biden says anything.
Perhaps Trump maybe reads the tea leaves, but they got the guilty plea that they wanted.
They tortured him long enough.
And maybe that's why they released him.
Because if Biden did it for political points, then he'd be coming out and claiming it.
So, unless Biden comes out and claims this victory here, then to me, this is just the Department of Justice getting their conviction rate and moving on because he's been tortured enough.
Maybe Glenn Greenwald.
I don't know.
Who are the top three?
I'd say the top three for the first Assange interview: Glenn Greenwald, Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones.
Maybe RT.
RT, he does do work with RT, so we shall see.
Now, I'd be shocked if the corrupt Department of Justice, I'd be shocked if the corrupt Department of Justice doesn't try to keep Julian Assange silent.
And part of this deal wasn't keeping him silent.
Do you really think they'd let Julian Assange out and then let him have an impact in the 2024 presidential election?
You know, there's a lot of whistleblowers out there, folks.
There's a lot of whistleblowers out there, folks.
Would they really let Assange out and then let him become a factor in the 2024 election?
Would Assange dare to say wink, wink, nod, not, I'll shut up, but nothing in ink, and then becomes a factor?
Is he just going to enjoy his freedom and just try to live the best years left that he has with his family and his kids that he's never seen?
And this has been a crazy election cycle, and we still got 133 days till the election.
This will not, this has to have an impact.
This will have an impact on the election one way or the other.
Right now, it helps RFK Jr. because he's the only one stacking up wins.
If Trump comes out and celebrates this and says the right thing, then that impacts him positively as well.
If Biden comes out and claims that he did this or he had a hand in this, I don't know if he would do that.
But if he does, that would certainly help him and give him a political victory.
But that would also leave him open for attacks that he's influencing what the DOJ does, which he's denied doing.
Now, Trump did say he would pardon Assange and Ross Ulbricht.
He needs to say something similar again, celebrate Assange's release.
And he needs to pardon Edward Snowden, probably give him a medal, an award as well.
All right, now I had some other stuff to cover, but then this broke.
I was going to talk about the Democrats lying about rally size.
I was going to talk about how they're so jealous of Donald Trump and the energy he has and the energy conservatives have that they wish they had the loyalty, the support, the fun, the happy lifestyle, everything else.
They try to torture us.
It doesn't work.
But then this broke, so we had to cover this.
So with that, I probably should take a couple calls before I sign off.
It is going to be a short night again tonight.
I apologize.
We've had a couple short nights here lately.
It would usually go for at least two hours, but lately we've had a couple of short nights.
I apologize for that, but we're going to have another short night tonight.
So I will open the phone lines.
Remember, we are coming to you through the Owen.gold microphone, Owen.gold.
Become a member of the club at Owen.gold.
It's the only membership that pays you back in gold, literally.
The only membership that pays you back in gold.
I've never heard of another club that pays you back in gold, but there you go.
I am a member.
This is the gold I get in the mail.
Owen.gold, become a member today.
Now with that, we'll take a couple of calls.
Let me get the phone lines open.
All right, phone lines are open.
747-200-5560-747-25560.
And we will take your call on Julian Assange, WikiLeaks, or maybe the content of the emails that they've released.
I had a couple conversations with him, and he was very touchy about his communications for obvious reasons.
He was very touchy about even talking about his work, but I was able to talk to him a couple times briefly.
And I mean, he was not working with lightweights.
I mean, he was working with some heavyweight people to make sure that he was covered legally and to make sure that all the information he had was accurate.
And he put out, I think, three in a docuseries, three parts in a docuseries, but I haven't heard from him in years.
I think I remember originally seeing it on BitChute.
I don't know if there's anything on Rumble, but as far as Pizzagate goes, those were probably, I would say, the most informative when it when it, especially with the spirit cooking and then all the political and celebrity ties into the didn't he have like the websites too that were like selling you know pictures of dolls and uh pizza boxes for like ten thousand twenty thousand dollars yeah
yeah there was like that he did uh there was two things he did the one was about the wayfare when it was like there was like a couch for like twenty thousand dollars with like a kid's name on it and then the other thing was um uh some kind of like code you typed in on like a website or something that like unlocked like i don't know if it unlocked like child porn or like sex trafficking or something like that but but it Was like on Google, like it was some kind of code or something.
I mean, he was very like protective about it.
I remember saying that, like, he like stressed to people, like, don't do this because you might be committing a crime.
But, like, it was really, really eye-opening stuff that he showed in those documentaries.
And I think as far as the pizza gay stuff goes, those were some of the best ones.
But, well, thanks for taking my call again, Owen.
And just wanted to give you a shout out.
I was rocking your gear all vacation and everything like that.
And I just had a quick question.
You don't have to say anything on the air.
You can send it to him provided or whatever, but I'd gotten you a souvenir when we were out in Vegas, and I just wanted to know like a good P.O. box or something to send it to.
Wow, you know, and that scary stuff they were talking about.
But then we had good news with Julian.
And I wonder what we have for the future for Eric Snowden, though, you know?
And, you know, hopefully Julian can talk when he gets out, but you raise a good point that his release conditions might be of such that he's not allowed to say a damn thing.
They might ban Julian Assange from ever coming to the U.S. again, but they're obviously still afraid of him.
And they keep having this redemption thing because they're afraid he's going to come back in and actually deal with the quote-unquote shitbags, as you referred them so kindly.
Probably a kind way to put it with the people we're dealing with in D.C. Folks, I'm sorry.
I wish I could be here for another hour.
I have to take off early tonight.
I've got some personal business to attend to.
I've got some family in town this week.
And so I've just got a lot of stuff I got to take care of here.
So I'm sorry that I cannot do all two hours tonight.
I will be on the InfoWars War Room interviewing General Flynn tomorrow at 5 o'clock p.m.
Central.
And I will also be on InfoWars Thursday with a big guest and doing debate coverage Thursday night.
So be ready for all that incoming.
That's what to expect.
So I'll see you tomorrow, third hour of the InfoWars War Room.
We're going to play Avici out, another Avici classic.
How can you not like Avici?
When Nala Shadows was also trying to expose child sex trafficking before he met his demise.
So I'll see you tomorrow, third hour, InfoWars War Room, interviewing General Flynn.
