Owen Shroyer’s OSL 93 teases his new censorship-resistant studio, funded by donations at supportoen.com, after X (Twitter) allegedly suppressed his posts—dropping engagement from 50K to 10—via AI-driven "unregretted user minutes" policies. He criticizes the MAGA movement’s shift away from figures like Laura Loomer, who exposed corruption since 2015, and defends guest Hanan, whose viral meme about an Uber driver cost her job amid online harassment targeting even her one-year-old niece. Shroyer praises her refusal to back down, linking it to broader free speech battles while hinting at Alex Jones’ "big news" the next day and a 2024 album, but callers dismiss his departure as meaningless, fueling doubts about his influence.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, so here's the deal.
I don't know.
When was the last time I went live on this channel?
It's been a minute, no doubt about it.
I have been busy building a new studio.
So I'm just going to break my silence on a bunch of different things tonight.
Don't worry.
I'll address that later.
I'm reading your chats.
I'm reading your chats.
Where to begin?
I guess, is the real question.
Let's begin here.
Let's start.
Let's start off soft and then let's get into the real stuff.
So, yes, I am coming out of a new studio.
I am revamping my studio.
And so, I want to give a big shout out to everybody that supported me at supportoen.com.
And I won't go too deep into this.
But obviously, InfoWars has been in the fight for its survival.
Alex has been in the fight to keep InfoWars on the air.
We've been in and out.
They shut us down.
We came back a week later.
They sold it.
The sale didn't go through.
So there are some updates as far as that is concerned.
I'm going to let Alex break that news.
That's Alex's news to break.
It's the fight to try to destroy him, take his identity, take his company, shut him down, silence him.
So I'm going to let him tell that story.
But when they shut us down, I guess it was about a month ago, I thought that was it.
And so I launched this campaign to build a news network under that current timeframe.
Thought InfoWars was all fair.
So I wasn't going to stop doing my show.
I wasn't going to stop breaking news, journalism, everything else.
So I decided I'll just do a fundraiser and launch a new network.
I'm not going to ask Alex for a handout.
I'm not going to ask Alex for anything.
He's got enough on his plate.
He doesn't need to worry about taking care of me.
He doesn't need another, let's say, mouth to feed.
So I said, don't worry about me, Alex.
You got enough on your plate.
We'll always work together.
We can always collaborate.
I'll work for you in whatever capacity you want, but I'm not going to ask you for a paycheck when this is going on.
So we did a little fundraiser, supportoen.com.
And to everybody that donated, you built this new studio.
And I'll just tell you, this is just a teaser.
This is not the actual final product.
This is just a teaser because I'm still working on some other tech things and some other structural things.
So this is not the final product, but it probably is a vast improvement from what it's been.
And you'll see a lot more in the very near future.
And I decided to just break my silence on this and some other things tonight because, well, I'll say there may be some good news in the future for everything, for a lot of things.
And I didn't want to wait anymore to launch my new studio.
And there will probably be some other announcements in the very near future as well that are all very good.
So I'll leave it at that.
So thanks to everybody for going to supportoen.com.
I really just plugged it once.
Once we got Infowars back, I stopped plugging it because I wasn't trying to stomp on anyone's feet.
But I figured since I'm doing a soft reveal, let's say, of the new studio tonight, I wanted to give a shout out to everybody that donated at supportoen.com.
Now, unfortunately, the storefront, owenschroyer.store, is still down, but maybe I'll tell that story later on tonight as it's a little less consequential as far as this broadcast is concerned.
And I'm talking about an ugly story that a lot of people don't want to talk about for obvious reasons, and that's censorship on X. And I should probably even say this as a preface because this is also very important.
I believe there is an AI algorithm.
Put your conspiracy theory hats on, but I believe there is an AI algorithm built into X that is mining all your data in live time, feeding it to an AI system in an attempt to get a desired result.
And I also believe it's not just things that you post, it's things that you say.
In other words, everything I say on this broadcast is getting put into a transcript, a digital transcript, and uploaded into the AI cloud that X is harvesting for AI realness to present the most human-like,
sentient-like, responsive-like AI that exists.
Now, this is my belief.
This is what I think is going on.
People may know that this is true or false, but that's what I think is going on.
Now, that's kind of a larger issue.
But it's part of the reason why I've been so hesitant to even do this because I'm now operating under that understanding.
I'm now operating.
And the truth is, this isn't just X, by the way.
I'm using X as a jump point for a conversation tonight, but this is not just X. This is every social media platform.
This is everything you do on your phone.
In fact, this is stuff you do on your phone that you don't even know is recording you.
Your phone is basically spying on you 24-7, feeding that data into an AI algorithm.
Yes, that's what's going on.
That's why you can talk about something and the product will pop up on your phone minutes later, the next time you open your phone.
You say, what the heck?
Yeah, it's listening to you.
And it's all in the terms and conditions, but it's still illegal.
But that's kind of how I'm treating X. And so in order to win favor with the algorithm God, I've not wanted to talk about this because I am being censored on X. Now, I haven't wanted to talk about this either for two reasons.
One, I don't like complaining.
I don't like complaining.
I don't like playing the victim.
I don't like crying censorship because I just don't like that.
I'm not that persona.
I don't want to be that persona.
And two, you're always going to have people that come after you and just say, oh, you're not censored.
Oh, you're just complaining.
Put up better content.
So I don't even want to deal, I don't even want to deal with that commentary either.
But I'll tell you what, at the end of this transmission, because again, I don't want to make a big fuss, but at the end of this transmission, I will show you my analytics, and then you can be the judge.
Now, when I say, why am I familiar with all of this, in case you're a new listener?
Because I was one of the leading voices in what some believe was favoritism, what some believe was just nobody knew what was going on in the X monetization payout system.
Some of you were here for that conversation, some of you weren't, but I was on the forefront of that.
I was one of the biggest voices that wanted to talk about it.
Most people didn't want to talk about it because they were afraid it was going to hurt their final payout.
Most people were afraid to talk about it because, you know, X is the new bastion of free speech and we don't want to damage that reputation.
And we appreciate Elon Musk for all he's done.
So we don't want to try to slight that phenomenon either.
But the time has passed.
And I would say it's worthwhile because I said this then and I'll say it now.
I don't think Elon Musk knows what's going on with the payout system.
I don't really think, I mean, he might, he obviously can have some say or influence if he wants, but I don't think he's making these decisions.
I don't think he really knows what's going on.
He was too busy building rockets and everything else.
And I would say it's probably also true as far as the censorship is concerned.
And he has addressed it to an extent, not directly.
When he says things like freedom of speech is not freedom of reach, when he talks about algorithm changes and deboosting negative and boosting positive or unregretted versus regretted user minutes.
So these are all ways of saying he's curating the site.
And most of this has happened after the election, which I don't think is insignificant.
And then the second wave of this phenomenon happened after the H-1B visa debate, which let me just step into a back alley here for a second.
We won the H-1B visa debate.
The ones that were against the H-1B visa debate won the debate.
And it's not necessarily going to result in any policy, I would say.
But the reason why we won the debate is because we exposed the lies that it was only for highly skilled workers.
That was a lie.
We exposed that lie and we forced the people that supported the H-1B visa to eventually either censor us or back down.
But more importantly, admit, as it came out in lawsuits, that it was all about cheap foreign labor.
That's all it was about.
So we won the H-1B visa debate.
And it will go on and we'll see what happens with policy.
But we won the debate.
We were right.
It was for cheap foreign labor.
It wasn't for skilled positions.
And it's not an America-first policy at large.
Now, you can make it an America-first policy.
It doesn't mean we're inherently against a program.
Well, I shouldn't speak for everybody, but generally speaking, it doesn't mean we're against hiring foreign workers for high-skilled jobs.
It doesn't mean we're against bringing in the most skilled workers to add to our economy.
I'm not against that.
I'm against pickleball instructors.
I'm against convenience store clerks.
I'm against professors and assistant professors.
Those should be American jobs.
Now, if you're a highly skilled individual, an engineer, a scientist, a chemist, a rocket scientist, astrophysicist, an inventor, yeah, okay.
That's what the O-1 program.
So really the H-1B program should just be the O-1 program.
But that was a lie.
It wasn't for the high-skilled workers.
We proved that.
There's the H-1B portal.
And when it comes to the policy test, this is what it has to come down to.
If you're going to keep the H-1B program as it is, then you should allow Americans access to the portal.
That simple.
And if an American applies for the job, then they get the job ahead of a foreigner.
There you go.
Problem solved.
So the H-1B portal is open for everybody, Americans and non-citizens.
But if an American wants the job, the American gets priority over the non-citizen.
And then they can be the janitor and the convenience store clerk and the pickleball instructor and the professor and everything else that was on there.
So there's your answer to that.
But now we get back into the main road here.
After that debate, and maybe it had to do with that, maybe it didn't.
I'll show the other angles.
But after that debate, there was major censorship on X. And people noticed the common thread was it was people that were against the H-1B visa program.
Now, these are just neutrally observable things.
Whether that was really the case or not, we'll never know.
Nobody tells us.
Nobody ever told me why I lost my verification, my badge, and my premium status.
Nobody ever told me.
Just gone for a week.
And I've never recovered.
Never recovered.
And I'll show you the analytics.
I'm crushed.
And this is what's going on.
It's been going on long enough for me to know what the deal is.
And you totally get it.
It's all in the algorithm.
If you're not online, if you're not on your newsfeed when I post, you will not see my post organically.
It's never going to be recommended.
It's never going to be put in the for you.
And it's never going to be put on repeat so that you might log in an hour, two hours, three hours later, and it just still shows up.
Unless you are online when I post, you will not see my post.
So, okay, I can understand that's something they can put into the algorithm.
It's a certain category they can put an account in, and that's your freedom of speech, not freedom of reach, which they admit is a policy.
So, okay.
So, that's clearly what's going on with my account.
I can see it.
I went from averaging about 50,000 views to I can barely crack 10.
And I noticed that when I post, bing, numbers shoot up and then dies.
Nothing else.
And unless somebody big reposts me, it's dead.
It's dead.
And I haven't been posting less.
I can show you the analytics on that.
You could hardly, you could argue my posts aren't good enough, whatever.
But there's a couple posts that definitely would have gone viral, 100% millions of views in the past, not anymore.
So I don't know what that is.
I'm not even claiming that Elon Musk knows what that is, but that is 100% going on.
I'm using myself as an example.
Now, I've gotten my verification back.
I've gotten my premium status back, I think.
I guess I really don't know.
I don't know how you would tell that or not.
I don't get paid anymore.
My payments are down to nothing, but I don't really care about that.
I mean, it'd be nice to make a living on X, but I'm never counting on that.
See, I've already been through the censorship so much in 2018 that I've been deplatformed from everything that I know I can never rely on any platform to make money ever.
I will never be able to make a living on any platform.
Maybe Rumble.
I mean, Rumble is now the free speech capital for somebody like me.
100%.
So big ups to Rumble.
I'm live on Rumble, rumble.com/slash Owen.
I have more hope and excitement for Rumble now than I do for X. Now, things can change.
Things change on X so quickly now.
You never know what it's going to be like in a week.
You never know what it's going to be like in a month.
So they're constantly changing things, constantly updating things.
So it could be different in a month.
I could be back.
I could be boosted.
I could be getting millions of views.
My account could grow.
Maybe.
But yeah, I can't even put links to band.video on X. Those links are still banned.
We have to make new URLs just to get our videos out.
And thank God the one platform I could rely on is still on air, InfoWars and band.video.
I mean, that is, that is God.
Let me tell you, folks, again, it's Alex's story.
It's Alex's company.
So I'm not, I'm just glad to be a part of it.
I'm glad I had a role in it.
I'm glad I got to be a part of the legend.
But I mean, it is crazy what we've been through, and it is God's hand keeping it on air to like an insane degree.
For whatever reason, God wants InfoWars to be impossible to take off air and Alex.
So, but that's Alex's story.
That's Alex's legacy.
That's Alex's company.
I'm honored to be a part of it and whatever role I can play the rest of this epic ride.
But so thank God there's that platform.
But I have more confidence in Rumble now.
I declare Rumble is now the official free speech capital of X. So we're going to be paying attention to this, but X has admitted that it's a curated platform.
I have the analytics to prove that ever since my de-verification, de-badging, and de-premium status, that I am definitely being censored.
So I get freedom of speech, but I don't get freedom of reach.
Okay, that's fine.
They're honest about that.
I don't know why.
I don't know what I did, but that's just what it is.
Maybe it'll get fixed.
Maybe it won't.
I don't know.
We'll see.
We'll see.
But a lot of people have been dealing with this, and that's why I bring it up.
If it was just me, I wouldn't even mention it.
But a lot of people are not getting their check marks back.
A lot of people are still getting the shadow ban and everything else or just outright censored.
So I wouldn't even talk about it if it was only me.
But this is no doubt something that people are afraid to talk about, especially somebody in my position that basically has to rely on X to a certain degree to stay relevant because I'm censored everywhere else.
Now, if Zuckerberg says, oh, we'll have Facebook, I doubt I'd be let back on Facebook.
I guess I could do a test run, but I doubt I'd be let back on Facebook.
I doubt they'd ever let me back on YouTube, Instagram, any of these other platforms.
So, yeah, it is a risk for me to come out here and talk about this when, yeah, in a way, X is my biggest platform individually.
I do all right on Rumble, but nowhere near as good as X. And X is great.
But my bottom line is, what is it that we needed to change?
Why is it that we needed to change the algorithms and how everything works on X after the election and then after Christmas?
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
So why are we always tinkering with new policies?
Let's just have free speech.
Let's just have the same terms of service, the same speech guidelines, the same algorithm applied to everybody.
Why don't we just have a true free speech level playing field?
The best wins.
It's a curated platform now.
That's just the truth.
That's just the truth.
But they don't deny it.
I'm not conspiracy theorizing.
They say it.
Freedom of speech, not freedom of reach.
We don't want regretted user moments.
We don't want negative.
So that's definitely what's going on.
But let's kind of go down the opposite path that also has something to do with all of this.
And then I'll kind of give you a little inside baseball as well.
So, again, you know, I've got to be smart.
I've got to be proactive.
And when they're trying to destroy InfoWars and take Alex Jones off the air, InfoWars, Band Out Video, the Alex Jones show, my biggest platform, somewhere I've been for almost a decade now, crazy to believe.
I put a lot of blood, sweat, and tears into my work there.
That's my biggest platform, bigger than X. I mean, InfoWars and Bandout Video is a bigger platform than me to X, but it's under risk.
So when they were trying to shut it down, I was basically building myself a little safety net in case they shut it down so that I wouldn't be out into the oblivion with no plan when they tried to shut it down.
And again, God has kept it on air, and we've been through so much.
We're still on air, on air today, on air tomorrow, going to be on air for the inauguration.
I mean, it's crazy.
It's history.
Truly protected by God to an insane level.
But I was making sure that I wouldn't get out and blown out into oblivion when it got censored and shut down, InfoWars, totally, with the corrupt lawsuits and the corrupt auction and everything else.
So I made a connection with a group of conservatives that had an organization called Conservative.
So I had their badge, and I'm addressing this because there's been some rumors about this group out there that I have found to be completely false.
But I want to be clear.
I didn't have any contract with them.
I wasn't technically working for them.
It was more of a, they wanted to work with me.
And I said, hey, that's great.
I think there's things we can do in the future, but I'm not going to commit to anything.
I'm not going to sign a contract or do anything until my work at InfoWars is done.
So if that day ever comes, then I'll work for you.
But as long as InfoWars is on air, I'm working with them.
But we can talk in the future.
So they said, okay, that's fine.
Why don't we just give you our badge?
It'll boost your account.
We can help boost your account.
But that's it.
That's the relationship I had.
I talked to a lot of the people.
I met a lot of the people, good people.
But all this stuff about them being bought and paid for by this group or them being told what to do by that group, totally fictional, totally false.
I never saw any of that.
I was in all their group chats.
It was all totally false.
Now, why do I bring that up?
Because Laura Loomer was also in this group.
And even though this has never been confirmed, when Laura Loomer got censored on X for a term of service violation, the potential belief here, the potential, the belief here was that everybody in her group also got censored.
So that would have meant me.
And there is reason to believe that's true because everybody with that badge, including right side broadcasting reporters, other reporters, I mean, it was a large group.
Everybody in that group, so it was either the group chat or it was the badge.
We don't know.
But everybody in that group lost their verification, lost their badge, and got censored.
So was that because of the badge?
Was that because of the group chat?
We're not sure.
Now, there is some policy out there about chats, and they are censoring group chat.
So if you're in a group chat and you're boosting each other, then they are apparently going to censor you, if not remove you entirely.
There also might be a group chat or an affiliation badge issue where if one person in your affiliation group breaks the terms of service, they apply it to the whole group, which is also dangerous.
So there's a chance that happened.
Now, with Loomer, let me give you the inside baseball here.
There are people on the inside with access to Trump that want Loomer gone.
They want her out.
You've probably seen some of this publicly, but I'm just going to go ahead and tell you what's really going on.
They want Loomer out of Trump's ear.
Really, they want Loomer out of the movement altogether.
They don't want anybody to see or hear from her again.
They don't want it.
They think she's toxic and X, Y, and Z and obnoxious and all this stuff.
They don't want anything to do with her.
Now, say whatever you want about Loomer.
She's been in this fight since the beginning, and she has broken some of the biggest stories in the last 10 years as far as raw Trump politics, Democrat-Republican stories are concerned.
So if you were there in the 2015, 16 Project Veritas stories, a lot of those were her videos.
A lot of that was her inside the Democrat Party infiltrating, getting them to admit to, I mean, basically inciting terrorism at Trump events and much more.
So Loomer's been around.
She's got the battle scars.
She's also one of the most censored people in the world.
So I'm always going to stick up for Laura and her right to free speech.
And I'm always going to stick up for the true OGs that have been there since the beginning, like myself.
Even though there's this new wave of MAGA Republicans, which maybe I'll just say this one now too.
Have you noticed this?
There's this new wave of MAGA Trump supporters, and they're always saying, we.
People inside of Trump's ear and campaign want Loomer out.
They don't want Trump to ever see her or hear from her again.
They don't want her involved in MAGA.
They don't want her at Mar-a-Lago.
They don't want her on Air Force One.
And I think this had something to do with her censorship.
Because I think there's a campaign happening right now.
And this is beyond MAGA.
This is just raw politics.
This is more DC politics than anything else.
But there's a takeover of the MAGA movement.
And they're trying to reshape it with different personalities.
And so they don't want the likes of the original people that were there that they consider toxic.
And they view it from the standpoint of this hurts the conservative brand.
This hurts the Republican Party.
This is why people don't vote Republican.
If we're affiliated with this person or that person, that does damage to the Republican Party.
And this is why we can't win long term.
So they're trying to remove these people from the picture and reshape it as a more palatable Republican, a more middle Republican that gets rid of the toxicity and gets rid of the riffraff, unlike the radical left that embraces it and promotes it and becomes it.
So that's what's going on.
I think that had I think that had a lot to do with Loomer getting censored and dealing with everything.
And then maybe the rest is part of that, or it could be something totally different.
But that's kind of the insult inside baseball with that.
And let me bring this home, and then I'm going to try to get my guest on.
What's happening right now is, and I've been through this long enough, there's two phenomenons.
One, this happens every political cycle, every election cycle, every two years, but more intensely every four years, where people come, people go.
People rise, people fall.
Every four years.
And if you've been following politics for a while, and especially in the social media era more than ever, there are people that were huge in 2016 and then disappeared by 2020.
There were people that were huge in 2016 rose and now they've fallen by 2024.
It happens every election cycle.
Some people can handle it.
Some people have staying power.
Some people don't.
Some people know how to evolve with the politics.
Some people don't.
So you're getting a bit of that.
It's every four years.
It's really intense.
The rise and fall of media personalities, political personalities, commentators, journalists happens every four years.
And if you can withstand it, if you can withstand every presidential election and stay relevant, then you get to the next level.
If you don't and you fall off, you're trending down.
You're usually gone by the next election cycle.
So there's a little bit of that, but we're also in this no man's land in between the election and the inauguration post-holidays where you're kind of just sitting there and nothing really good can happen because you don't have your guy in the White House yet.
You're debating over policy.
You're a little more intense about it.
You're realizing you got some differences with some people.
You realize some people are trying to hedge and get in.
You realize some people are trying to claim some territory.
You realize that during this election cycle, okay, what was everybody really all about now that we won?
So that's what you have going on.
You have the four-year cycle of the rise and fall of political media, and then you have the no man's land where really nothing good can happen post-new before election.
The good feelings at Thanksgiving, the good feelings at Christmas, maybe even the new year to an extent, it's all behind you.
Now we're all sitting here revved up and we can't get in yet.
We don't have our guy in yet, but we're debating policy and we're kind of feeling out the new landscape, but nothing really good can happen in this phase.
So all of this is actually normal.
All of this is actually normal.
But you know, there does seem to be one thing that is consistent.
There does seem to be one thing that is always happening.
And that is the most discriminated group of people, no matter where you're at on the internet in media, the most discriminated, or politics, probably even more accurately.
The most discriminated against group of people are always the ones that tell the truth.
And you can take that at the highest level of, oh, it's the highest truth, or you can take that at the lowest level of just they say how they really feel, they talk how they really talk.
But the most discriminated against group of people are the ones that tell the truth.
And that remains true.
All right, one thing quickly, and then I'm going to go to my guests for a bit.
And then I'll open the phone lines probably for a little bit.
One more thing quickly here.
So I was on an X space a couple weeks ago with a couple big name Democrats.
And I'm sitting there because I've done a lot of political debates.
And I know how liberals talk and I know how Democrats talk.
And I know their little logical map route of where they go with certain things.
And so I'm having this debate and it's on an X spaces.
And so obviously you can't see the other person.
And these two Democrats are talking like I've never heard a Democrat or a liberal talk before in my life.
And I was sitting there just kind of analyzing what they were saying and how they were saying it.
And I was like, you know, this is interesting.
This sounds like AI.
This sounds like an AI chat bot that I'm talking to.
I'm not debating politics with a fellow American that happens to be on the different side of an issue or the aisle.
It's just like I was talking to an AI chat bot.
Now, these were two younger guys.
I guess I, I don't know.
I'm really not a younger guy anymore.
Maybe, you know, it's all relative, but I'm 35.
I didn't grow up with AI.
I didn't grow up writing papers using AI or doing projects using AI.
I still had to go to the library.
I still had to go get an encyclopedia.
By the time I was in high school, I knew my way around the internet, but there's still no AI.
You still had to go out and do the research and write your own thing.
It had to come from here.
Now, these kids, these young kids, they just, they just use AI.
And so I didn't realize it until when I was finished debating these two, Nick Fuenes came on the stage and they started doing the same thing.
And he goes, well, look, I know you guys are sitting there with your chat GPT and your AI getting all these answers, but let me just talk like a human.
I didn't even think of it.
And I was like, oh my God, Nick is right.
And it makes sense because Nick is a younger guy.
I think he's like 25.
So he comes from a different generation than me.
He knows how these kids think.
They're all using AI.
And so I'm sitting here talking to an AI chat bot, and these Democrats are pretending it's coming from their own mind, their own head, and it's a freaking chat bot.
So anyway, I just so if you're if you're debating a liberal or a Democrat on X Spaces, just know that they're probably sitting there using AI to debate you.
And it's not even, it's not even them.
And it's so obvious the way they talk.
It's so obvious.
All right, I'm going to try to get my guest on here.
Again, guys, this is kind of like a raw test of the new studio.
So what do you guys notice?
Is the video good?
Is the audio good?
How is everything sounding?
How is everything looking?
This is just a teaser of the new studio.
This isn't a full rollout, by the way.
This is just a teaser.
So there are still things that need to be done here.
But how's it all sounding?
Does it all sound good?
Does it all look good?
This is just a teaser, folks.
Lots more to come.
Lots more to come.
All right, let me see if I can't get this guest up.
Maybe I'll just break the censorship by start physique posting.
How about that?
If I start posting shirtless pics, if I start posting myself working out, you think I could, you think that would break the algorithm, break me through?
Should we give it a, should we try it?
I plan on having a steak tonight.
I think I'm going to cook a steak to break my fast.
I don't want to do a 72-hour fast.
I like eating too much, and I'm on television, and I talk for a living, so I can't, like, I have to be able, I have to be healthy.
Like, I can't do a 72-hour 72-hour fast.
I'm on TV, and I need, and I need the fat, and I need to keep my brain going.
But a 24-hour fast can pretty much get done what I need to do.
And I'm also doing a parasite cleanse right now with the full moon.
So 24 hours is all I need, really.
You know what else I need to do?
I need to do...
I need to do the albums, best albums of 2024.
Best albums of 2024.
Yeah, you don't think Zed, you don't think Zed Telos is going to be on there?
Hell yeah, it is.
Hell yeah, it is.
All right, we got my guests lined up.
Let me try to get this going here.
All right, Hannah, can you hear me?
Yes.
Do you go by Hannah, by the way?
Is that the all right?
Because you're just, I believe you're just Han on X, right?
Is what that is?
Okay.
All right, let me introduce you here.
All right, guys.
This is an interesting story.
And I'm going to let, I'm going to let, is it okay?
And so for a little background into you, honestly, this post, how many I have it pulled up.
It got 9.5 million views.
So people, you may have seen this.
You may have seen this post right here.
When the Uber driver says it's on the way versus when it says it's an Indian male driver.
So you can see there she's smiling.
She's having a good time with her friend.
And then she finds out it's an Indian male and now she's really depressed and she's debating her life choices.
So it gets nearly 10 million views.
And this was all during my guess is you posted this.
It was in the heat of the H-1B visa debate and people making all the Indian jokes.
And so you were like, oh, I'll kind of cash in on this viral sensation right now.
And so you posted this.
Is that an accurate depiction?
unidentified
I honestly don't even know what the HB, whatever you just said is.
But no, I mean, I really like, I don't scroll too much.
I like to post and again, I like it as a lot of lifestyle, just what I'm up to.
But no, I like, I didn't do it to try to go viral or anything like that.
I just simply, like, we were sitting there and we were getting ready to leave.
And I don't know, we just thought it was funny.
Like, I'm really not a racist person.
I mean, you know, we all may think things at times, but like, I don't, I'm not out here being mean to any other races just because they're that race or anything like that.
Well, I don't know if you want to, you know, go into details of what you've had to endure since.
I mean, I'll ask you to at least maybe give us some details.
But, you know, I'll put my bigotry on the line right now in that if I saw it was a Indian male, I would actually feel pretty good about the driver simply because it was a man.
If I see a woman is coming to pick me up, I get really nervous.
I think about canceling the ride.
I make sure my seatbelt works correctly.
So, you know, this person is driving your car after all.
It's, you know, it's fair to worry about your safety.
The only horror stories I've had in Uber rides is when a female is driving me.
And I mean, you've, you've had to learn this the hard way, but it's like you have to make a decision.
Once you get any semblance of fame online, you have to make a decision right then and there.
Okay, A, do I want this?
And then B, what measurements am I going to take to keep my family completely separated?
And that's why I didn't want to put your full screen up here in case you didn't want people to see your name because I would totally understand if not.
But I mean, really, you have to go through that and people would be stunned.
You know, there was another guy tried to get Ian Carroll on tonight.
They're doxing his family now.
I mean, these people are nuts.
My parents have had to go through it just because of who I am, even though I've done a pretty much almost a perfect job of keeping my family out of my politics and everything I do.
But, you know, there was an old address I used to live at that my mom used to still live at.
There were old phone numbers associated with me that were still associated with some family members, some other addresses.
I mean, I had people show up at addresses I used to live in like 20 years ago.
None of my family even lives there.
And they're like, oh, yeah, we're here for Schroyer.
So, I mean, it's just absolutely crazy.
And it just shows, you know, they wouldn't do this if they were in person, right?
They have this confidence simply because it's online and they can't get any punishment, I guess.
unidentified
I agree.
I don't think, I mean, no one showed up at my house, which I am very grateful for.
So we haven't really faced any like real danger, I would say.
But my mom, you know, she's a woman.
She's a little more apprehensive about everything that's been going on.
My dad was just like, block them, ignore it.
It's fine.
They won't do anything.
He kept telling my mom, just don't worry about it.
But she was like pretty upset.
And I mean, once we blocked them, I thought it was over with, but then I went into work a couple days later.
But yeah, no, I went into work and my boss said, hey, can we talk to you upstairs?
I was like, yeah, sure.
And he was like, we're letting you go.
And I was like, oh, okay.
He was like, we've been getting calls and Instagram DMs to the restaurant website about your tweet.
And I kind of just wasn't even going to argue.
I was just like, all right, thanks.
And I left.
And then I was like, wait a second.
I went back in and I asked him, oh, can you send me the messages or, you know, things that you were receiving just so I can, my mom wanted like all the evidence just in case she wanted to do something about defamation because they were really harassing like so many people that we knew.
And he wouldn't send me anything.
So I don't like, I don't know, it's a weird situation.
I don't know why he wouldn't just let me know what people were saying, but he was also a family friend.
So it was kind of, everyone's like, oh, name the business.
But I like they were just open for a year.
So I understand he didn't want to like tank the name or anything.
And if people were going to start leaving comments saying you have a racist working there, I mean, it's, he said it himself.
It's not good for business, which I do understand, but I don't know.
It just sucks that these people can really just take someone's job over a joke.
So, so it's not like you had any other profiles out there they could have followed up with or located you somehow?
unidentified
No, I mean, I followed the Instagram of my restaurant, but it's not like I had posted them or anything saying like, hey, this is, you know, this is where I work.
I mean, when you're an investigative journalist like me, you kind of learn the tricks of how to find things you want.
That's definitely, I would guess that's how they found you was probably that you followed that restaurant and then they just maybe made a bet, made a phone call.
And then, you know, as they say, the rest is history.
Well, okay, so you have officially been terminated from your employment?
Well, you know, you're kind of on the fast track now.
You're not the first individual, but you're kind of on the fast track to go from kind of like a female health influencer type of thing, smaller account, makes a joke, a racist joke, gets kind of a lightning rod, and then decides that you're just going to double down on that.
Have you decided?
Are you going to disappear from the internet or you want to be bigger or what?
unidentified
No, I decided I can't let them win because that's what they want.
Yeah, they wanted me to deactivate my account and stop posting.
And I'm like, this is exactly what I'm going to do now.
So I'm going to keep posting and I'm not going to back down from this or shy away or anything.
It's like they already, I mean, they already goxed me.
And so I was like, wait a second, when did she enter the realm of political controversies?
And so it was just kind of a one-off joke that you made.
And then boom, what do you know?
These people try to destroy your life.
And in a way, maybe they maybe they gave you an opportunity that you might not have had before and you can turn it into some success.
You know, I would say, and this is the same advice I give to everybody.
So this is not just advice for you.
You can feel free to take it or leave it.
I give this advice to everybody.
And I practice this advice myself.
Never block because that just gives them more desire to come after you.
Right.
If you just let them post and post and post and ignore them, then eventually they just kind of tire out.
Where if you block them, then they try to find new ways to get after you and create new accounts and find different ways.
I never even really respond, never even respond, just ignore them no matter what they do, because any response just adds fuel to the fire.
And then I think you said it was your mom's advice or somebody, whoever gave you the advice to basically document and archive everything, very important.
You never know when you might need it for any sort of a legal thing, legal things you expect, legal things you don't expect.
So always archive everything.
And I would always just say, just ignore, ignore, ignore, and then let their hatred fuel whatever it is you want to do next.
unidentified
Yeah, I definitely have to work on the no blocking because the block button has been like my best friend the last week.
I've been like blocking so many people just because I don't know, some messages I get are just so disgusting, but I'm just going to stop reading comments.
I just think people need to, this is, you know, kind of going opposite of what we're doing right now.
But get off your phone, go outside, go touch the grass, run through a field, climb a tree, do all those things that you would do when you were a kid that you never do now, because I promise you, you'll feel a million times better about everything.
And actually, what you've done now is you've segued into your actual expertise.
And I know you don't know much about me.
I'm actually big into fitness too.
I'm not really a fitness influencer.
I do a little bit of it, but I couldn't agree more.
In fact, there was somebody I was working with the other day, and he was kind of having a hard time with just kind of like pent up frustration and dealing with his home life.
And I said, hey, you know, can I give you some friendly advice?
He says, yeah, please.
I said, this isn't a comment on your current state of health, but when you finish working, just go exercise for 15, 20 minutes.
Like, I'm not telling, you don't, don't even do it to get big or get bigger biceps or get in shape.
Just literally go lift some heavy things around.
And when you're done with that, your dopamine will be pumping.
You'll feel a lot better and you'll get home and all that stress will be gone and whatever frustrations come from, you know, just getting home from work, it'll just melt away and you'll be able to deal with it much better.
So it's funny that you bring that up because I just told somebody about that.
Touching grass.
So are you a believer that grounding is good for inflammation then?
unidentified
100.
I think grounding is just great for everything.
You know, take off those socks, take off those shoes and just get your bare feet in the grass.
But okay, so aside from your art, I bet you could sell some art.
I bet you could sell some of your art now that you have, you're getting a bigger following.
But okay, you're doing your health lifestyle.
You're doing your art.
Now, since it was late December, let's say it was about three weeks ago when you made the, when you made the post, have you been working on your next racist post?
Have you been, have you been contemplating and scheming?
unidentified
No, because you know what?
I all my best things just come from me just doing, and then it just pops in my head.
I'm not the type of person where I like sit there and I'm like thinking and writing lists and like brainstorming about what to do.
We talked, I think when I when I asked you if you wanted to come on, when I saw your story about losing your job, I was like, okay, this is a horrible wrong.
But on the internet, you've got a pretty, even if it's just like 1%, the internet is such a mass of people that it's just 1% of psychotic freak losers can try to ruin it for everybody.
And anytime I see, specifically a young person, anytime I see somebody with groups, mobs of people trying to destroy their life over political correctness, over a joke, no, I'm always going to come to their defense and give them a chance to either fight back or just voice their voice, you know, whatever their concerns are, their story.
Is this the next future social media star there, ladies and gentlemen?
What do you think?
Did we find another one?
Did we do it again?
Almost on hour number 24.
Almost completing the fast.
Screw it.
Should I just start?
Should I just start thirst trapping on X?
I mean, why the hell not, right?
Or do I just try to stay classy, stay professional?
Or should I just start thirst trapping?
What do you guys think?
I could do one tonight.
I'm probably real thin looking right now.
Probably really thin.
Always good for a photo shoot.
When you're nice and thin, nice and thin.
Okay, very thin.
Make sure the camera gets us.
By the way, this was the guest we just had on right here.
Hannah.
I love to see it.
I love to see people instead, when people seek to destroy them, instead of getting destroyed, instead of cowering, instead of bowing out, they stand tall and say no.
I like that.
That's my kind of person.
That's the person I like to promote.
That's the person I like to build up.
I think we found another one.
Guys, I cannot do.
I cannot do 72 hours.
I used to do 72 hours in high school.
I hated it.
But that was a religious thing that I used to do in high school.
And then we would starve ourselves and then we would feed the poor and the hungry and we deliver food to them and do some other stuff.
But I couldn't do that now.
I'd be too weak.
I can't be on TV three hours a day and then do these bonus streams at night when I'm 72-hour fasting.
I'd start to get delirious.
I'd start to sound like a crazy person.
You'd hear my stomach grumbling.
So, no.
I couldn't do the 72 hours.
24 I can do.
In fact, do you want to know the trick?
24 hours are actually easy for me, and I like to do them on Mondays.
But do you want to know?
Do you want to know the secret?
Do you want to know how to easily do a 24-hour fast?
So I ate last night at, yeah, I guess it was about 9.
Had a steak last night at 9.
And then haven't eaten since 10 o'clock last night.
It's about to be 10.
So, okay, I ate, chilled for a bit, went to bed, woke up at 8, and I've been so busy, I haven't had a free, I haven't had a minute to eat since 8 a.m. this morning.
Just schedule your days so busy that you don't even have time to eat, and it'll fly by.
Caffeine also helps kind of stabilize those hungers, stabilize that desire to eat.
I do it with caffeine.
I don't smoke.
Some people do it with smoking, cigarettes, nicotine, also a way to get rid of that hunger.
But I just, I just use caffeine.
So I think I had about 150 milligrams this morning, had three cups of coffee during the show.
I don't know how many milligrams are in a cup of coffee.
I don't even know.
So that's my advice.
All right, I'm about to sign off.
Guys, guys, let me know in the chat before I sign off.
How was the quality of the stream?
Seriously, I'm going to have to go back and listen myself.
But how was the video quality?
How was the audio quality?
More importantly, did the audio sound good?
I'm really excited.
This was just a teaser of my new studio.
You really don't even have any clue what's really going on here, I will tell you.
But I wanted to come on here.
It's been a while since I've been on here.
I wanted to break my silence and tell you some of these stories.
People are saying 10 out of 10.
What do you mean?
I did say that.
You know, you can never please everybody.
I try.
I genuinely try.
I genuinely try to please everybody, and I just can't do it.
So audio was good.
Video was good.
This was just a teaser of the new studio.
But I think that once the new studio gets launched and I'm able to do some other things and some interactive things that I've been kind of wanting to do for some time now, that will start going live more often is what I anticipate.
Once the new studio is fully ready to go, we'll start going live more often.
And you know what?
Let me give you some good news.
Let me give you some good news before we sign off.
Part of the reason why I decided to tease the new studio and just go ahead and thank everybody for the fundraiser right now.
Because the good news is, I believe that for whatever reason, God wants InfoWars on air forever.
And maybe that reason is because we tell the truth, unlike anything else.
And there's a purpose beyond even our understanding of keeping Alex on air and keeping InfoWars on air.
But I will just tell you, it's not my story to tell.
I would anticipate Alex may have some big news tomorrow.
I don't know.
I'm just saying Alex might have some big news tomorrow.
But it looks like InfoWars just got a fresh tank of gas.
And that's all I'm going to say on that.
That's all I'm going to say on that.
InfoWars is my biggest platform.
Band.video is my biggest platform, bigger than X, bigger than Rumble.
And again, I don't want to get ahead of it.
It's Alex's story.
We'll see.
But it looks like we may have gotten a little health kit, let's just say.
May have gotten a little health kit to keep us alive for now.
And I'll just leave it at that.
Alex may or may not talk about it tomorrow.
I don't know.
But because of that, because I was like, well, I'll just wait till they finally shut it down before I decide to announce anything or do more broadcasts or do a new studio.
I'll just, you know, continue to focus on InfoWars and just do everything InfoWars because why wouldn't I?
But now, now that it's been extended there and I put a bunch of time into the studio and you guys, I mean, you guys built it, literally.
Just so you know.
You guys built this studio and you haven't even seen half of it.
So when you went to supportoen.com and donated, you guys built this studio.
So I kind of also felt like there was, I felt like there was a like I kind of owed it to you guys, to the people that donated, to let you know that something came of it.
I didn't just do the fundraiser and then forget about you.
You guys built it.
You guys built it.
So I'm forever grateful.
I love my audience.
I can't thank you enough.
Big and great things are coming in the future.
But I didn't want you guys to be hanging any much longer to those that donated.
Can't appreciate you enough.
And you've only barely even scratched the surface on what I'm going to be able to do in this new studio.
And pretty much built the whole thing myself.
I had a little bit of help from a friend.
We'll probably bring him on later just for some love, just for a shout out.
But pretty much built the whole thing myself so that I could do exactly what I wanted to do with it.
Maybe we'll do a behind the scenes thing.
But thank you.
Thank you very much.
Love you guys so much.
All right.
What do we want to go out with today?
How about a little teaser?
Because I guess that's the theme of the night.
I don't have my shirt fully off, but kind of off.
And I did some teasing about some other statuses.
I did some teasing with the new studio.
So let's do a tease with what is going to be the, I believe it will be the album of the year on my album 2024 albums of the year.
I believe it will be the album of the year.
So a little teaser.
I haven't fully settled the list yet.
But I think it'll be this album.
So a little teaser there.
All right.
Breaking my 24-hour fast.
I'll see you guys tomorrow on the InfoWars War Room, 3 p.m.
Central.
Owen Schroyer.show.
Maybe some big news tomorrow.
In more ways than one.
See you then.
Night, guys.
unidentified
I've been losing my mind.
Caught up thinking of ways I could turn back the time.
Time is not on my side.
I don't know what to say.
Feeling empty inside now that you've gone away.
I can picture you in someone else's place.
And he's got his hands running down your face.
Is it in my head?
Cause I just can't let my demons go.
You just did it for the dopamine.
You didn't mean to leave me so fucked down.
You did it for the dopamine.
And could it be that I'm just not enough?
It's so hard to accept that you're gone and that's it.
You did it for the dopamine.
And it didn't mean anything at all.
Just be throwing away.
I don't know to blame.
Leave it all in the day and just put out the flame.
Told me time and again, you don't believe in the past.
It was us against them, but nothing good can last.
I can feel it now, and it hurts like hell.
Can you live without me?
Only time will tell.
Is it in my head?
Cause I just can't let my demons go.
You just did it for the dopamine.
You didn't mean to leave me so fucked up.
You did it for the dopamine.
And could it be that I'm just not enough?
It's so hard to accept that you're gone and that's it.
You did it for the dopamine.
That it didn't mean anything at all.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Didn't mean anything at all.
Yeah.
Yeah.
Didn't mean anything at all at all at all.
You just did it for the dopamine.
You didn't mean to leave me so fucked up.
You did it for the dopamine.
And could it be that I'm just not enough.
It's so hard to accept that you're gone and that's it.
You did it for the dopamine that it didn't mean anything at all.
