Ladies and gentlemen, friends and family, Owen Schroyer Live episode 115.
Why I am done at InfoWars.
This may come as a shocking announcement for you tonight.
It may not.
I'm going to break it all down.
I feel I owe you an explanation of what's been happening.
I'm going to let people get caught up before I really get into the juice here.
But I'm going to let you know it's official.
I am now done at InfoWars.
And I'm going to let you know why coming up in just a minute.
First fuel, hemorrhage, because why not?
unidentified
Memories are just waiting down.
Drag the waters to the depths given up the day.
What did you expect to find?
Was it something you don't want to do?
Don't fall
owen shroyer
ladies and gentlemen, there you have it.
We are live here, Owen Schroyer Live, episode 115.
Why I am done at InfoWars.
Now, there's a reason why I'm doing this tonight.
There's a reason why I have to do this tonight, and I'm going to explain it all because that's what you deserve as my audience, as people who have financially supported me over the years.
You have prayed for me as people that sent me letters when I was in prison, just all of it.
You know, I'm grateful for my audience.
I consider myself extremely blessed.
And quite frankly, I consider myself extremely blessed for my time at InfoWars.
And I'm sorry that it had to end so abruptly, if you want to say that.
But about an hour ago, I got off the phone with Alex, and that was it.
That was it.
So I owe it to you.
I feel I owe it to you, the audience, to explain what went wrong and why I decided to leave and how that went down.
And just to be perfectly clear, this is not how I wanted it to be.
I want to be perfectly clear about something, and I'll explain this in a little more detail.
I did not want it to go this way.
Okay?
I tried everything.
I tried everything so that it wouldn't go this way.
But I am left with no choice but to come on here tonight and make the announcement.
Just so you understand, and then I'll kind of give a little bit more detail.
You may have noticed I've been taking a lot more time off.
Specifically, you may have noticed how on Thursday, I walked off the show mid-show.
It was about an hour into the show.
And just so you understand what happened, and if you watched the InfoWars War Room, you've seen this before, so it's not like it's anything new, but Alex was disrupting the show, and he wanted me to cover something, and he wanted me to get a guest on.
I'm in the middle of the show while it's going on, as you see so many times.
And it just didn't go well.
I kind of just reached my point of no return, and so I just walked off the studio.
Now, I will say, it was a little upsetting to me that he went on and said that I had a family emergency.
I did not have a family emergency.
There was no family emergency.
I didn't appreciate people reaching out to me thinking that something bad had happened, including my own parents.
So there was no family emergency.
I walked off the show.
I've never done that before in my life.
And that's not how I operate.
That's not who I am.
But I just, I felt powerless in that moment.
And the only power I had was just to walk off because I couldn't do another thing like it was two or three weeks ago when I came back and did that comedy bit.
I couldn't do another thing where I just say, oh, go to rebroadcast.
It was, it was whatever.
So, no, I walked off the show on Thursday.
Now, my intention was to go back this week.
And I made that intention perfectly clear to Alex an hour ago.
Now, I wanted to meet with Alex in the office tomorrow.
And I told him that.
I told him that last week after I left the studio, he texted me and I said, Alex, let's talk next week.
I said, I don't want to talk about it now.
I'm done for the week.
Let's talk next week.
We communicated a little over the weekend.
And then today I said, let's meet.
Let's have a meeting tomorrow before your show, whenever you want.
Let's meet tomorrow before your show.
And maybe we can talk this out, work it out.
And he said, no, let's just talk now.
And so he called me.
Now, my intentions, and I told him this, I wanted to go in this week.
I wanted to go in tomorrow.
And I wanted to finish this week.
And I wanted to finish positively at InfoWars.
And, you know, I even said if he wanted me to kind of stick around like a satellite to go down with the ship, that I'd be willing to play some sort of a satellite role to go down with the ship and be a part of that and continue, you know, wearing the name on the front of the jersey for at least some semblance while it's still ongoing.
And he didn't express any interest in that.
And so he told me that he didn't need me and good luck.
And that was that.
That was that.
So I wanted to make this announcement on InfoWars.
I wanted to make this announcement with Alex.
That actually meant a lot to me.
That's what I wanted.
I wanted to leave in a very positive fashion.
I wanted to announce it to the InfoWars audience on the InfoWars airwaves.
I wanted Alex and the crew and everybody to be there, and I wanted to shake Alex's hand.
I wanted to thank him for everything.
I wanted to just go down memory lane of all the things that we've done.
But he wasn't interested in that.
And he said, don't come in this week.
So that was that.
So now here I am announcing that it's done.
I will not be on InfoWars.
I don't know if ever again.
Won't be hosting the war room this week.
And I don't really know what else there is to say about that other than it's not how I wanted it to be, but I was left with no choice.
I was left with no choice.
Now, I don't know how Alex wants to handle it.
Honestly, I hope that he just doesn't talk about it at all.
And people might view that as like a bad thing or a negative thing.
I don't think so.
If he wants to just sever ties and just move on like that, I have no problem with it.
So I don't, you know, I hope he doesn't make a thing of it.
I hope he's fine.
He can bring in whoever he wants to host it or shut it down.
I don't really care.
You know, I don't have anything negative to say about Alex.
This is not what this is about.
I have nothing but respect and appreciation for Alex and everything that we've done at InfoWars.
I'm not sure that was mutual, but it doesn't really matter.
But, you know, kind of to give you the longer form situation, you probably noticed that I had not been hosting the war room a lot this month.
And, you know, Alex had been coming into my show and talking about how I'm negative and calling me a pessimist and all this other stuff, which is fine.
You work for Alex.
You're going to get hit with it a lot.
Alex is not easy to work for.
And that's fine.
You know, that's okay.
But, okay, he says I'm too negative.
He says I'm a pessimist, whatever.
I'm too anti-Trump.
So I just said, all right, you know what?
I'll just take some time off.
I'll just disappear.
And if Alex thinks I'm too negative, then maybe he's right.
Maybe he's right.
Maybe I'm too negative now.
Maybe I'm too much of a pessimist now.
Maybe I'm too anti-Trump now.
Whatever.
Whatever his issue was when he kept coming in the show, telling me I'm too negative, saying I'm a pessimist on his show.
I said, okay, maybe he's right.
I'll take some time off.
I'll blow off some steam.
I'll just get out of the ring for a week.
And, you know, maybe I'll come back a little more positive.
And, you know, maybe there was a level of reality to that.
And I think I did come back more positive.
But the same issues that I had started up immediately as soon as I came back.
And it's not to say that I didn't have creative control over the InfoWars war room.
But I mean, imagine it's like somebody staring over your back 24-7.
And so every single day that I came back, it was either a guest that I was told I had on at the last minute, or it was, you know, him coming into the studio.
He wants me to cover this.
He wants me to cover that.
Or I have to host his show for him because he's not in.
So there was just, there's nothing consistent for me.
I couldn't, I couldn't do what I wanted to do, which I'll explain what I want to do in a second here.
So whatever.
So I'm going through it again last week, and then Wednesday last week happens.
And this is really where I think for me, it was like, okay, if this is how it's going to go, really what happened Wednesday and Thursday.
So Wednesday was the school shooting.
And we get the exclusive with Kyle Serafin from his Fed source at about 9 or 10 o'clock in the morning.
Now we get this information.
We have the images.
We have the name.
The crew has already archived all of the online content, the manifestos, the videos.
So, I mean, we got it.
We got it.
Now, I was supposed to host the show, but obviously we get this exclusive.
So Alex wanted to host the show.
So I'm like, okay, well, great.
All right.
So let's do this.
So it's like, here we go.
I'm riding with Alex again, folks.
We're firing up the Millennium Falcon again.
We're going into the InfoWar.
We're taking out a Death Star again.
And I know that this is hard for people to understand from the outside looking in.
And I don't say that from an arrogant standpoint.
I'm just trying to explain to you what it's like here.
So when he's coming on Wednesday, the Jones show that I'm hosting, and he's like, we've got the exclusive.
We're going to break this.
Everyone knows we're going to get burned.
Okay.
I mean, I don't know about Kyle.
He's still kind of relatively new to the media, but he's a Fed.
So he's, you know, he's a tough guy.
He wears big boy pants.
But everybody in Infowars knew, oh, here's a school shooting.
We've got the exclusive.
We're going to destroy the cover-up.
Like everyone knew we were going to get burned.
Everybody knew we were going to get burned for this.
And I said, all right, Alex, I'm going into the fire again with you.
Let's do it.
So we did it.
We did it.
We broke the big exclusive.
It's very likely that if it wasn't for us that day, you never heard about the trans shooter.
You never saw the videos, the manifesto, or any of it.
It's very likely that that's the case.
But we knew, we knew we would get burned.
We've been down this road before, especially on that issue.
You're guaranteed you're getting burned.
You're either getting sued or you're getting censored or you're getting the negative headlines.
So before the show is even over, there's multiple headlines printed up.
Owen Schroyer celebrates mass shooting.
Owen Schroyer celebrates dead kids.
I might get to that later on.
Whatever.
It's par for the course.
So there you go.
So I got burned.
So I rode into the fire on Wednesday.
We broke the big exclusive.
I fired up and I got in the co-pilot seat of the Millennium Falcon with Alex Jones for one more ride, knowing I was going to get shot out of the sky.
Knowing I was going to get burned.
But hey, all right, it's the info war.
I said, all right, Alex, you want me?
Let's go.
Let's do it.
And we did it.
And we fucking did it.
And then I get the negative headlines.
Okay, fine.
I anticipated that.
And then the next day, I have to deal with the same stuff of him breaking into the show.
Now he's on a speakerphone and he's asked the crew to bring him.
It's just a cluster.
It's just a cluster bomb.
So I had prepared a three-hour show.
I thought since we just did what we did the day before that I could do a three-hour show and babysitter wouldn't be looking over my shoulder.
I was wrong.
It happened and I just said, I'm out.
I'm just done.
So if you don't want me to do the show, you can do it.
And I think he ended up hosting the rest of his show.
I don't even know if I want to get any more details with that.
But so that was it.
So I walked off the show Thursday.
I didn't appreciate him saying I had a family emergency because I didn't.
So I had a lot of people freaking out and messaging me about that.
There's no family emergency.
It's just a lie.
So whatever.
So, okay, whatever.
It happens.
I've got a big ego.
I'm a stubborn personality.
And so is he.
It's Alex Jones.
unidentified
So, okay.
owen shroyer
So again, I just walk off.
I don't make a big thing of it.
I don't say anything negative.
I don't say he made up the family emergency.
I don't say anything because I wanted to do this right.
So I said, Alex, I'm done this week.
Let's just sit down and let's have a meeting on Tuesday next week.
Let's just get this right.
So I talked to him again today.
Doesn't want to have the meeting tomorrow.
I wanted to go into InfoWars, have the meeting.
I intended on going into work.
Instead, we have a conversation over the phone.
I just kind of lay out my side of things.
He lays out his side of things and he says, I believe the exact quote was, okay, we don't need you.
Good luck.
So he said, I'm not going to stop you from leaving.
I said, Alex, I want to do it right.
I want to do it on your airwaves.
I want to come in this week.
I want to announce it.
Like I want it to all be positive.
Like I don't want this to turn into a negative thing.
And he just said, nope, don't worry about it.
Don't come in.
Good luck.
You know, you can do your own thing.
So, okay.
So that's how it went.
Now, that's it as far as I'm concerned.
So I'm not going to be going back in.
I'm not going to be hosting the war room.
He could have easily had me in to announce it on his show.
I would have been happy.
I would have been more than happy to do it.
Again, that's what I wanted.
It meant a lot to me, folks.
I didn't want to be doing it this way.
Anybody who's followed my career in media knows I don't do the drama stuff.
I don't do the drama stuff.
I don't do the, hey, look over here at this personal beef.
I don't do that stuff.
I get along with everybody.
But I've been left no choice.
I had to do this tonight.
So, again, just to be clear, I intended to go into InfoWars this week and finish out the week and make the announcement on InfoWars with Alex.
That meant a lot to me.
But he told me he wasn't interested.
He didn't want to do it.
He said, we don't need you.
So that's it.
So, you know, as far as a future of me and Alex on air together, I don't know.
I mean, I don't have any personal animosity towards Alex.
We've had professional issues over the years.
But you have to understand, you know, Alex has been a big inspiration for me, and he gave me my first big break in political media.
I'll always be respectful and appreciative of that.
And so that's why it meant a lot to me to do this on InfoWars and to do this in a positive way and to shake his hand on the air and for him to say thank you, great work, and for me to say thank you, I appreciate everything and to shake his hand and do it in front of the InfoWars audience and crew and leave on a positive note.
But he didn't want to do that.
He said he didn't want to do that.
So now I have to do this here tonight.
Now, I have to say, too, just so people might get a better understanding.
You know, I feel like Wednesday was kind of our last dance.
I feel like Wednesday was kind of our last dance.
And if you've seen the documentary called The Last Dance about Michael Jordan and the 96 Bulls or the Bulls franchise, the dynasty, you might get a better idea of what it's like working for Alex Jones.
And you can watch and you listen to people talk about how Michael Jordan is an asshole and Michael Jordan is hard to play for and nobody wants to play with him and he's a jerk and he's got the highest expectations and all this stuff.
And it's just like, well, I like that.
I mean, that's how Alex Jones is, folks.
Alex Jones is hard to work for.
He demands championships.
He demands the best.
Now, some people can deal with that.
Some people can't.
But I feel like Wednesday was our last dance.
I feel like Wednesday was our last dance.
We went out there.
We fired up the Millennium Falcon.
We got our final championship.
We got our final big victory.
We broke the big story.
And then, if you understand, just like in the documentary, everything kind of just blows up after that.
So I don't know.
I tried my best to go down with the ship at InfoWars.
That was also very meaningful to me.
But that just became an impossibility because I don't even know what's really going on, quite frankly.
I'm not sure anybody does.
So I don't know.
InfoWars could be off air this week.
InfoWars could be off air next year.
I have no idea, but I can no longer, I'm at a point now in my life where I can no longer play that game of committing to go down with the ship because I got other issues.
And I've been extremely loyal to Alex, overly loyal to Alex and InfoWars.
And I'm okay with that.
You know, I was a corporate man.
I was a network man.
And I was proud to play for, as I view it, the Yankees, the best ever, InfoWars.
I was proud of that.
And I still am.
I have no regrets, but I couldn't hold out any longer.
I wanted this to be my last week on air, but Alex didn't want it.
So that's why I'm here tonight.
And I'll tell you what is coming up for the future as far as I'm concerned.
But, you know, I've done the network news thing now.
This week, actually, yeah, this week would have been the eight-year anniversary of the InfoWars War Room.
It would have been eight years of me hosting the InfoWars Warroom.
So we didn't make that milestone, unfortunately.
But that's okay.
We almost got there.
So that would have been nice to have that.
But I've done the network news thing.
You know, I've done the big TV studios.
I've done all the lights and cameras and everything.
I've done the new suits and the ties, which I hate.
You know, Alex would always bitch at me when I didn't wear the suit and tie, which that used to be in the InfoWars budget when I first started there.
They would pay for your attire so you could dress up and look nice, but they cut that in 2018.
And again, I don't even blame Alex for this stuff because of the lawsuits.
You know, he has very little control over a lot of this stuff because of the law fare against him.
But okay, I've done the TV news thing.
That's not really who I am.
I'm not a network guy.
I'm not a TV guy.
But I'll explain more of that coming up about where I want to go.
But like I said, I've been very loyal.
I've never taken any other job offers, and I've gotten plenty.
I've never really branched out and done my own thing out of loyalty to InfoWars and Alex so that all the money I can earn is directed to InfoWars.
I've always done that.
I can't even tell you the amount of opportunities I've passed up on speaking opportunities, guest shows, everything, because I've always put InfoWars first.
And I've always said my first priority is going to be to host the war room every day.
And if the offer I'm getting conflicts with that or disrupts it even for a day, I'm not going to take it.
So I've always been nothing but overtly loyal.
And quite frankly, and again, I don't blame Alex for this, but I haven't even, I haven't had a raise at InfoWars since 2018.
I haven't had a raise since 2018.
Again, I'm not mad about that.
It's never been about money for me.
But can you imagine?
I mean, folks, the cost of living has about doubled since 2018.
Okay.
So, I mean, I'm basically just living paycheck to paycheck at this point.
And I don't complain.
It's not a complaint.
I'm just telling you.
So this is, if somebody wants to make it about money, oh, he's going to have more money.
This is not about money.
If it was about money, I would have made it about money a long time ago.
I haven't gotten a raise at InfoWars since 2018.
I believe that's the last raise.
I mean, I could go double check, but it's, you know, it's been a while.
But again, that's fine.
I'm not complaining about the money.
Whether there's a lot of it or not is not what this is about.
It's just like, this has been how it's at.
I felt like I'm on this roller coaster.
I'm strapped in, and there's just nowhere for me to go.
And I'm always going to be loyal to the roller coaster.
I've always been loyal to the roller coaster.
You know, I don't try to grab something while it's on the ride.
I don't try to grab something else.
But it's just the constant, okay, there's no raise in the future.
And then the constant, we're going to shut down tomorrow.
We're going to shut down tomorrow.
It's just like, it never happens.
So it's like, I don't even know what's going on anymore.
And then I feel like I can't even control my own show.
I feel like Alex, and Alex said to me on the phone, he's not unhappy with me.
He thinks I do great work.
And I hope he means that.
I don't know.
But it's just like when he's constantly disrupting the show and constantly telling me what to cover and constantly telling me the guests, it just feels like I have no control anymore.
And you have to understand the other thing about being in network news is you end up associating with things or people or subjects that you might not otherwise associate with.
So, okay, you kind of have to go with that when you're a network guy.
And that's not really how I am either.
Now, on that point, I suppose I can get into the future here.
And then I'll make an announcement.
And I guess I'll open up the phone lines.
I'll just open up the phone lines because that was my plan this week was I was going to do a show Tuesday, the anniversary show, the announcement show, and then I was going to do a news show Wednesday.
And then I was going to do nothing but call-ins Thursday and then a veterans call in Friday.
But I guess all of that's canceled.
So I'll just take calls tonight.
I'll just take calls tonight on whatever you guys want.
I'll open up the phone lines here momentarily.
But let me tell you what's going to happen.
I've got this decent studio that I'm in right now.
And, you know, it could work.
It could work just fine.
And it does for the most part.
But I'd like to build something bigger.
You know, I think that this is a nice studio for kind of a, you know, a secondary broadcast option.
I kind of like this camera angle right here.
And, you know, there's some other things I can do with this studio, but this is not the studio I want for my main studio.
It's nice for a secondary studio.
It's nice for guest interviews.
It's nice when I need to pop on and do a live.
But I'd really like to build something a lot bigger, a lot more professional.
I'd like to build something that is way more radio-centric than TV-centric.
If you're not in the industry, then that might not mean much to you.
But basically, I don't want all the TV lights.
I hate all the TV lights.
They burn my corneas every day.
I hate all the cameras.
I hate the big TV studio space.
I don't like the big TV.
I don't like it.
I don't like TV.
I don't like network TV.
I don't like the presentation.
I'm more of a radio guy.
So what I'm going to do is I'm going to build a professional radio style studio, probably with maybe two or three, four cameras, but it's not going to be like a TV show presentation at all.
It's going to be more of a radio show presentation.
And if you're tuning in, it's because you want to listen to me cover news.
Now, I'll still have the multimedia aspect, and we can still pull stuff up on screen and everything else.
But so I need to build a new studio.
I also probably need to move to do that.
I need to move out of Travis County.
I need to move out of Austin because I just get sued left and right here.
Because when you're in Travis County, you're just legal lawsuit bait because they know they can get you into the courts here that are all just big left-wing Democrat activists.
So I'm just sitting, I'm just legal sitting bait here.
I'm in a big legal defense right now.
They're trying to jones me.
They're trying to take everything I own, trying to take every dollar I have.
So they're trying to jones me right now, too.
So I'm in that legal defense.
But, you know, I'm told not to talk about it.
But I guess I can talk about it now.
You know, I was never supposed to talk about it before because it was bad for ratings or whatever.
So I was never supposed to talk about it.
But now I can.
Now I can.
They're trying to jones me.
They're trying to sue me for everything.
They're trying to sue me for everything I own.
So same lawyer, same group, same BS.
They're trying to jones me now too.
But now I guess I can talk about it.
So I got to get out of Travis County.
So really, I'm taking a big leap of faith, to be quite frank.
And that's okay because I've prayed on it and God has told me that this is the right thing to do.
Again, I was the stubborn one.
I was the stubborn one sticking around as long as possible.
I was the stubborn one that wanted to go down with the ship.
I was the stubborn one that wanted to ride or die with Alex.
But it's like it's already dead now.
There's no more riding.
It's just dying.
So, so yeah, I'm taking a big leap of faith.
I'm basically going all in.
I'm going to sell my cars.
I'm going to sell my house.
And I'm hopefully going to find a house south of Austin, not in Travis County, but probably somewhere south or north of Austin in a neighboring county, either Hayes or Williamson.
And I'm going to build a big professional radio studio.
And, you know, I'm still kind of in the early phases since this all just happened today.
But I'm going to launch a news network.
I already have it ready to go.
It's going to be called the WIN Network.
It's the World Independent News Network.
And this is kind of just a mock-up logo that I had as a mic flag.
But I anticipate the Owen report will be live on the Win Network in October.
I think that it'll probably take a month for me to get everything done.
So that includes just all of the technical stuff, the mechanical stuff, and then, you know, getting an operation that can fund itself.
Because I don't really want to do like, you know, I don't want to do the permanent going out of business sale.
I don't want to do the permanent, like, you know, you need this to save the world sale strategies.
I don't want to constantly be doing fundraisers either.
I want to do more of a traditional style, which is we have sponsors that fund our operation.
And, you know, having said that, I want to cover news.
That's what I want to do.
I want to cover news.
And so, like, here's an example: Thursday.
I wanted to cover all of this news Thursday.
This is the news that I didn't get to Thursday because I was disrupted.
Okay.
This stack.
I want to cover news.
And here's what I've learned as a consumer of news.
Almost nobody covers news anymore.
Almost nobody covers news.
It's all sensationalism.
It's all hyper-partisanism.
It's all cheerleading or fanboying.
Nobody just covers news.
So from 3 to 6 p.m., I'm going to cover news.
I'm not going to do sensationalism.
I'm not going to do conspiracy theory.
I'm not going to do the world is ending.
I'm not going to do hyper-partisanship.
I'm not going to do pom-pom waving.
I'm not going to do flag waving.
I'm going to do a three-hour news show for everyone who wants news.
And yeah, we'll do, you know, we'll do some conspiracy theory and we'll have some fun.
I've got some other ideas that I want to tie into it, but this is my vision now.
So now I'm going with my vision of what a three-hour political talk show would be.
I've done the Infowars vision.
What an honor it was.
Unbelievable what we were able to accomplish.
We literally changed the world.
But now it's time for my vision.
So I'm anticipating the Owen Report will launch.
I'd say soft launch date would be Monday, October 6th.
If I have my schedule right, let me look at the calendar, but I believe that that's I believe that that's where we would be.
Yeah, October 6th, I would say as a soft launch date.
Monday, October 6th, the Owen report on the Wynn Network.
Now, it could happen before that, but what I'm going to do in September while I'm, you know, doing some organization as far as funding is concerned and, you know, getting the studio set up and the technical and the mechanical stuff of it all and the promotional stuff as well.
I'm going to have to, I'm going to, I'm basically going to have to carry this weight all by myself.
I'll have some people helping me and I'll give them a lot of love and a lot of shout outs.
Like I see a lot of people in the chat today making some donations like my good friend Albert.
Really appreciate you guys.
We'll address that later.
So what I think I'm going to do in September while I'm building Win Network and while I'm building the Owen report up, I think what I'm going to do in September is I'm going to do a lot of just quick reports on X where I just take a news story and I just cover it on X, like two, three minutes on a specific story, maybe a couple videos a day.
And then what I really hope to do is a bit of a media tour where a lot of the invitations on a lot of these big shows that I've just been rejecting for years because I didn't want to miss a single Infowars show.
I didn't want to miss a single war room.
So I've just been passing on all these opportunities for years.
I'm going to take some of them now.
So I'll probably be traveling to Florida.
I'll probably be traveling to Vegas, maybe Dallas, maybe New York.
But I'm going to do maybe D.C., but I'm actually going to do some of these shows that I've been rejecting for years as kind of a media tour to announce that I'm launching a new network.
And of course, doing all of this while potentially also moving and building a new studio.
So I'm looking forward to the challenge.
I spoke to a friend before the show.
They asked me how I felt.
And I said, well, you know, I don't even know how to explain that, except I feel like I haven't felt in a decade.
I feel like I have not felt in 10 years.
And I don't know if that's a feeling of control, a feeling of the unknown, a feeling of freedom, a feeling of fear.
I don't know, but it's something I haven't felt in a long time.
And, you know, I'm 36 years old.
And I think I've had quite a bit of experience for a 36-year-old in media.
And, you know, I think that I think that a lot of the things I've learned along the way, I'm going to finally be able to implement and to use in my own way and in my own creative delivery, if you will.
But I hope to be doing this for 50 more years.
You know?
Hell, 70 more years.
I'd like to be doing this when I'm 100.
I don't see myself.
I don't see myself ever retiring per se.
And the media landscape is changing right now.
It's changing at light speed.
So you either move with it or you get left behind.
So not going to get left behind.
But I anticipate the month of September.
I'll do some live streams at night, but I'm not going to come back to the three to six window until October when the new studio is ready to go.
So, I'll probably pop on here and do Owen Schroyer live broadcasts at night, like I have been doing.
And then I'll probably just record some short videos on breaking stories while I'm not going into the InfoWars studios.
And then, as a soft date, I'm not, we'll see about the time, but as a soft date, I think Monday, October 6th, I'll officially launch the Owen report, which will be live 3 to 6 p.m. weekdays and be nothing but news.
Nothing but news.
And it's going to be way more radio style.
There won't be really network breaks, but you know, we'll have like I want to do planned segments.
Like, I want to do a segment called The Rant, where I just rant for a segment.
I want to do a segment called The Roast, where I roast somebody or some situation.
So, it's like I'll get a sponsor for those segments, and then we'll do the rant, and it'll be brought to you by them.
And then we'll do the roast, and it'll be brought to you by them.
At the top of the hour, I want to do a news break.
So, I'll have somebody can five-minute just headlines at the top of every hour.
So, it's just a news break at the top of every hour.
So, you'll get that.
But it's going to be way more kind of traditional radio delivery, but with the TV performance, let's say, is where I want to go here.
So, that's what's up.
Now, again, I don't even know if I'm going to get another InfoWars paycheck, so whatever.
I won't even get into that.
I'm not even going to go there.
But I have decided that I will launch a fundraiser for this.
I have decided.
Let me see if it is up yet.
Like I said, I don't want to turn this into a like I don't want to do 24 hours.
I don't want to do a fundraiser type thing.
I will have a subscription set up.
I'm kind of planning on maybe doing like a subscription thing on the side.
The Owen report will never be behind a paywall.
Okay?
Let me just make this.
Let me make this promise to you.
The Owen report will never be behind a paywall.
Depending on how fundraising goes in the next week or two, I may decide to do something else on a subscriber base.
But the Owen report, my three hours a day news, that will never be behind a paywall.
I promise you that.
You will never have to subscribe to anything to get the Owen report for three hours a day.
But depending on what fundraising looks like in the next couple of weeks and how easy we're able to get sponsors in, that'll determine what we do with the subscriber base program because that's where most people are going is towards the subscriber base program.
So, you know, there is that, but I want to go more of a traditional radio type thing where you have sponsors on board, you have live reads, you have segments that get a sponsorship.
You know, somebody will sponsor the phone line.
Somebody will sponsor the studio.
We have a microphone sponsor.
So that's how I want to do it.
Now, look, I'm not going to sit here and tell you I don't like nice stuff.
Okay.
I'm not going to pretend like I don't want to have a nice house and a nice car.
But that's not my purpose here.
That's not my purpose here.
So my purpose is to, yes, I want to earn a nice living.
And if I do get, if I do get very wealthy, then I'll just pay that forward and I'll just hire more people and expand what I'm trying to do, which ultimately would be the goal.
But I want to try to keep it as lean as possible.
I want to make it available for sponsors and I want to make it available for an audience to be a part of what it is we're going to do.
And you have to understand, too, with the direction that I'm going, I want the Owen report to be for everyone.
So, yeah, obviously I can't hide from my right-wing belief system.
I can't hide from my political past.
I'm not trying to, but I am trying to deliver a three-hour news show that will be for everyone.
And I don't even, I doubt we'll even do guests, quite frankly.
I think I'll do interviews on the side.
So I think I'll interview people, but those will be separate uploads.
I think the show is just going to be three hours of news.
If there's a big reason to get a guest, then I'd do it, but I don't see it going that way.
I think I'll probably just do straight three hours by myself, no guests, and just do news every day.
Just do breaking news.
And For my more controversial takes, let's say, or my more conspiratorial takes, or, you know, things that might turn sponsors off, I'll do a separate show.
I'll do Owen Schroer Live where either we have no sponsors at all, or that's where kind of a subscriber base thing will come in, and you can pay for that content.
But what I'm looking to do is a three-hour talk show for everyone.
A three-hour talk show that you feel confident sharing with your friends and family, a three-hour talk show that you feel confident playing in your car when you're driving Uber or driving your friends around or playing in your business when you're doing business throughout the day.
That's what I want to do.
I want this to be for everyone.
I want to be America's anchor man.
That's what I want to be.
And nobody covers news anymore.
Everybody's either got their own little niche thing over here, or everybody does like commentary or like opinion or like controversy or culture, or everybody like focuses on one thing, or everybody's waving pom-poms or celebrating this.
I'm going to give you three hours of news.
That's what I'm going to do.
That's what the Owen report is going to be.
And I mean, look, quite frankly, I think anybody that has been listening to the war room knows when it comes to just raw political developments, I'm about as ahead of the curve as anybody gets.
Just raw, in the modern sense, political developments.
I'm about as in tune and ahead of the curve as anybody else out there.
Now, when it comes to maybe some of the larger stuff, some of the historical stuff, maybe, I don't know, maybe I can't stake that claim.
But I mean, I had the Trump health story before anybody else.
I mean, so I'm not going to go here and just list all the bona fides.
But if you've been listening to the war room, you know it.
You know, I've been miles ahead of everybody else.
So I just want to bring that to the air every day.
I want to be able to do that uninterrupted.
I want to be able to do that in my own way with my own creative vision.
And I want to make it for everybody.
So that's my vision.
That's my goal.
And I really look forward to you being a part of this.
So let me see.
Let me do one thing here.
Let me do one thing here before I open up the phone lines.
Let me take care of some business.
I'm not sure if the fundraiser is up yet.
We do, I did, I did, I did launch a fundraiser and I do have a website, but I don't think it's launched yet because sometimes it takes the URLs a minute to get going here.
But here's what you can do.
So I'll pull this up now.
So let me just pull this up quickly and then I'm going to open the phone lines.
Now, if you didn't hear the opening, I'll kind of recap.
I'll kind of recap the opening real quick and then give out the phone lines and give you the link to the fundraiser.
So let me just do a quick recap because we have a big audience tonight and I just, a lot of people have tuned in late, but it is official.
As of today, I am done at InfoWars.
It's been kind of a building thing.
I didn't want it to be this way.
But I had a phone conversation with Alex earlier tonight.
I wanted to meet with him tomorrow in studio.
He didn't want to do that.
So we had a phone conversation tonight and ultimately just determined it's time for me to go my own way.
So yeah, Thursday when I abruptly walked off the show, that was not because there was a family emergency.
There was no family emergency.
I walked off the show because I just didn't like the way things were going.
I took a 10-day hiatus before that, thinking that things would get better.
They didn't.
And then, you know, I had my one last dance with Alex on Wednesday.
We broke that big exclusive.
I got totally burned for it with headlines saying I celebrate dead kids.
A total lie, but I knew that's what would happen if we did that story.
We did it anyway.
I went for one last dance.
I went into the fire with Alex one more time.
I got co-pilot seat, the Millennium Falcon, took down another Death Star with Alex, did it all again, and then just dealt with the same crap the next day.
So just said, that's it.
And just so people understand, I told this to Alex earlier today that I wanted to go in this week.
I wanted to finish this week strong.
I wanted to finish on a positive note.
My hope was that I could go in and make this announcement on InfoWars and shake Alex's hand and say, Alex, thank you for everything.
I appreciate you.
You know, just talk about all the memories, you know, reminisce for a couple moments and shake his hand and just do it all above board, totally positively, and just let everybody know that I have nothing but love and respect for Alex.
And I hope it's mutual.
I don't know if it's mutual.
At this point, I suppose it doesn't matter.
That's how I wanted to do this.
I did not want to do this tonight, folks.
I wanted to go finish this week at InfoWars, kind of do the final send-off, do the final shake hands, take the final paycheck and go off in good terms.
But it looks like none of that's going to happen now.
And so I guess none of that's going to happen now.
So I was forced to do this tonight.
Didn't want to do this tonight, but that's what I had to do tonight.
So I will no longer be hosting the InfoWars War Room.
I will be launching the Owen report in October.
In the month of September, I'm going to be busy basically getting on sponsors, doing some fundraising.
I'm going to build a brand new studio.
This studio is nice.
It's filled in nicely as a secondary studio in a studio when I need to fire up a live stream or an emergency broadcast or do a guest hit.
But it's not going to be the studio for my main show.
I want to build a new studio for my main show.
So that's going to take some funding.
I'm going to sell my house.
I'm going to sell my car.
I'm basically going to go all in.
I'm going to bet all in on myself.
And then we'll see what we can do fundraising-wise.
And hopefully we can bring in some good sponsors and we can kind of just kick this thing off without even having to really worry about financial things.
But you can run this stuff pretty lean.
Then it's just a matter of how broke I want to live, I suppose.
But here you go.
I at least have the give send go site up.
Again, I didn't want to do it this way, folks.
I wanted to go out live on InfoWars, shake Alex's hand, do everything positive, make the announcement there.
That was my dream.
That's what I wanted.
I didn't get it.
Alex didn't want it.
So fine.
I'm going to have to do it this way.
Okay.
It is what it is.
So here is the give send go.
I believe it's givesendgo.com slash help owen.
In fact, let me double check.
Givesendgo.com slash help Owen.
Schroyer.
Givesendgo.com slash help Owen Schroyer.
Let me, here, I'll put something on the board for that.
And then we'll open up phone lines.
Now, Owen.help should be Owen.help should eventually be the landing page.
I'll tell you what, let's just test that in real time.
Actually, hold on.
I need to edit that.
There it is.
Givesendgo.com slash helpOwen Schroyer.
Now, eventually, Owen.help will be live, but I think that URL is still trying to get connected.
I just purchased it like about an hour ago.
So I kind of had to do all of this stuff.
So I got off the phone with Alex, and then I did all of this other stuff before going live.
So Owen.help will eventually be live.
But right now, givesendgo.com slash help Owen Schroyer.
Appreciate the people donating on Rumble Rants.
You can subscribe on my ex as well.
But that's where we're at.
I don't want to do like a huge like, you know, I need money thing.
I don't want to do that.
And I guess, you know, I'm kind of sick of it myself since that's kind of been the case at Infowars for about the last five, six, seven years.
So that's not really what I'm trying to do.
But I am going to need some money to fund this next project.
And then hopefully I'll never have to do it again.
Okay.
So I don't want to do the, I'm going out of business 24-7 sale.
I don't want to do the, you have to support me or the world is going to end sale.
You know, that's not what I want to do here.
I want to bring on sponsors and I want to have clients.
And we will have some proprietary products.
I am working on some proprietary products.
We do have an apparel store, but unless you have like millions of people buying clothes, you're not going to fund an operation just selling clothes.
But we do have Owenschroyer.store and a lot of apparel there.
So I do intend to have some proprietary products.
We will have the apparel store.
There are some other things that are going to follow up with the Wynn Network.
But for right now, like I said, I'm going to take the month of September to build all of this out.
And hopefully I can do it all in a month.
If anybody can do it, I think it's me.
So I'm going to do a big media tour.
I'm going to continue to upload content onto X. I'm going to build the Win network.
And then in October, we're going to launch the Owen Report 3 to 6 p.m. Central weekdays on the Wynn Network.
And so that's the plan.
That's the plan.
So we'll keep that link up right now.
And then I'll probably add that to Owensroyer.store.
In fact, let me do this right now.
Yeah.
So I'm going to get that link fixed at Owensroyer.store as well.
All right.
So I'm just blowing up on my phone, guys.
I'll deal with that later.
So if you're texting me or calling me right now, I'll pick that up later, okay?
So for the time being, though, I'll open up the phone lines.
So let's just do it.
Let's just go all the way here.
And we will open up the phone lines.
unidentified
Let me, let me do this.
owen shroyer
All right.
We are going to hold on a second here.
unidentified
Okay.
owen shroyer
There we go.
All right.
Sorry about the phone lines.
All right.
Phone lines are up.
Phone lines are up.
747-200-5560.
You can see the number on the bottom left corner of the screen as well.
Here's how the phone lines work.
I have one line.
So when I pick up, you're on the air.
I ask you your name and where you're from, and you are on the air.
So here we go.
First caller of the night.
What is your name and where are you from?
unidentified
I am Megan.
I'm from Littleton, Colorado.
owen shroyer
All right, Megan.
How are you?
unidentified
I'm well, thank you.
owen shroyer
Well, go ahead.
You're on air.
unidentified
Hi, is this Owen?
owen shroyer
Yeah, so here's the deal, Megan.
I have one phone line.
So for everybody else listening, we have one phone line.
So when I answer and I ask you your name and where you're from, you are on the air.
So you are on the air with Owen right now.
Did you not recognize my voice?
unidentified
Oh, I hear you.
owen shroyer
All right, you're on the air.
So go ahead, Megan.
unidentified
I am so excited that you're moving on to something bigger and better.
And I can't wait to see what you're going to do.
And I only watched InfoWars for you.
And I got my husband hooked.
And you're my spirit animal, man.
owen shroyer
That's funny.
Well, you know what?
I hope I'm blessed enough to be bigger and better.
And ultimately, Alex said that was his dream, right?
To become irrelevant, to have somebody bigger and better than him.
So that'd be quite a blessing if I can achieve that.
I'm not so, I don't think anything is given in this world, so I'll have to earn that.
But I appreciate that.
unidentified
Well, if Ox was a good boss at all, then that's what you want to see is your people move up and move on in the world.
So I'm very excited.
First time caller, I'm just thrilled.
owen shroyer
Well, I appreciate that.
Do you think my, I'm sorry to keep you waiting for a month of no me live three hours a day.
Is that all right with you?
Do you think I can get away with that?
Will you come back in October?
unidentified
Absolutely.
I missed you for the 10 days.
I think I can do another 30.
owen shroyer
Well, I'm still going to be on here uploading short reports in case you didn't hear.
My plan is to just like in the month of September, just do like short two, three minute videos just on specific breaking news stories.
And then I'll pop in every once in a while at night and do Owen Schroyer live like I have been.
But yeah, when October comes, let's say soft announce date, October 6th, Monday, October 6th.
Once Owen Schroyer, the Owen report is live, it'll be 3 to 6 p.m. weekdays, just like my normal time slot.
unidentified
Well, stay on Rumble, buddy.
Rumble's the best place for free speech, and it's one of the best platforms I've ever had.
So I appreciate that.
owen shroyer
Yeah, definitely Rumble and X. 100% Rumble and X. And then we'll kind of game it out if we want to go beyond those platforms.
Thank you, Megan.
Next caller, what's your name where you're from?
jefferson in virginia
Hey, Owen, it's Jefferson in Virginia.
owen shroyer
Jefferson, how are you doing?
How are you doing tonight?
How are you taking the news, Jefferson?
jefferson in virginia
Well, I'm excited for you.
This could be really big.
It might be a wonderful thing in the long term or maybe even in the short term.
I knew something was up last week, but I didn't know what it was.
owen shroyer
And well, there you go.
You know, like I said, I didn't want to do it this way, but I have no choice.
I owe it at least to explain to you guys.
So there you go.
unidentified
Yeah.
jefferson in virginia
Yeah.
Not sure what's going on with InfoWars, but it is strange that today was the day that Trump said, you know, that they lied to me about warp speed.
I need more information.
So something's breaking in a big way.
You're going to have to report every day.
You're going to have to check in with us at least on Twitter or something.
owen shroyer
No, no, no.
I'll be filing short video reports.
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
unidentified
That's good.
owen shroyer
But you know what?
I did see that today.
I wasn't going to get into the news, but you bring it up.
I think that the reality is starting to crash on this Trump administration.
And they tried to call us pannikins.
You know, the new MAGA cheerleaders tried to throw us overboard and say, we'll be better off without you.
But I think the realization is in now.
The vaccines have been a disaster.
So, you know, I think it was last week he said something great about Operation Warp Speed.
And again, he got the backlash.
So I think it's like, okay, finally, they're going to have to throw in the towel on that.
We'll see the conclusion here, but it looks like they're waving the white flag.
Like, all right, yeah, we killed you with these vaccines.
I'm not going to say it's good anymore.
And then I don't know if you saw, but apparently Trump and Besson are working on some housing market fix.
unidentified
Did you see this one?
jefferson in virginia
Yeah, yeah, I see they're promoting building and regulation and making national standards for what is it, housing or something to make it easier to build.
owen shroyer
So in other words, in other words, the economy is not doing great.
Okay.
The economy is not doing great at all.
And so these two realities, I think, have come crashing down on the administration, and now they have to address them.
So pretending like it wasn't an issue or pretending like it was good has failed.
And so now they're actually going to have to address it.
We'll see how it goes.
But yeah, to me, this is them admitting.
And will we get any apologies from the people that attacked us and called us pannikins and everything else?
No, of course not.
But we were right.
The economy is not good.
And Operation Warp Speed is beyond a disaster.
So it's nice to see the administration finally at least pretending to come to terms with the American people on this, but we'll see what the results are.
jefferson in virginia
You see, Robert Malone said that Fauci is hiding out in Italy somewhere.
Sienna Italy, I think, is where he said he's hiding.
owen shroyer
I've heard that for a while.
I know he's not testifying in Congress, and I know he's not in prison.
So I do know that.
jefferson in virginia
We do have some interesting depositions coming up before Congress.
So it's going to be an interesting month.
I'll be looking forward to your daily reports that are short and to the point.
And I'll let some other caller talk to you now.
But good luck to you.
owen shroyer
I hope I hear from you.
unidentified
Yeah.
owen shroyer
I hope I hear from you for a long time, Jefferson.
One of us are going to have to outlive the other, though.
jefferson in virginia
You're going to outlive me.
I know that much.
owen shroyer
Well, I hope I'm on air whenever it happens.
I hope you're listening to me.
Your final breath.
All right, Jefferson.
I'm glad.
I'm glad you got in.
Yep.
Next caller.
What's your name?
Where are you from?
unidentified
Owen.
Man, I can't believe I got through.
This is Chris from Houston, Texas.
Howdy, Chris.
I'm really excited for you.
I'm on X, and then I see Harrison posting, promoting that, you know, supporting you, I think, in his way.
owen shroyer
I appreciate that from Harrison.
What a great guy.
I'm sure he's reached out.
I've got like, you know, you can imagine my phone right now.
Because I just announced this.
Nobody knew this.
I just announced this.
I wasn't planning on this.
I was planning on going in this week and doing it that way, but Alex said no.
So I appreciate that from Harrison.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
You guys, you know, definitely one of the big reasons why I watch is you and Harrison.
I mean, we love Alex, but, you know, love you guys.
And I just wanted to share a quick story.
My memory with you.
I took some pictures with you at a barbecue, and it was the day before you had to turn yourself into the FBI.
And do you remember that day?
owen shroyer
Yeah, that would have been August.
That was our second, I think our second or third summer bash.
We were at a lake, a small lake northwest of Austin.
And yeah, I think it was that day, that was the day they actually indicted me is the day of that party.
And so I was dealing with all that legal crap all day.
And then I went to the party I was supposed to be hosting.
unidentified
And I can't help but think, Owen, that the support and the love that you felt on that day kind of helped get you through some of your rough times when you were in Washington.
owen shroyer
Man, let me tell you something.
Let me tell you something.
I'm not a rich man, okay?
I don't have much money.
I've lived a fairly comfortable life, believe me, I'm not complaining.
But I'm no rich man.
But I will tell you, I've never felt richer.
I've never felt more wealthy in moments like these where I get the outreach of the kindness, the love, the support.
I mean, I could have $10 billion and it wouldn't match the wealth I feel from people reaching out to me and being kind and expressing appreciation and gratitude and support.
Nothing can beat that.
unidentified
Well, your genuineness as a human being comes across loud and clear.
I think that's why Rush had the audience that he did and the way you pay homage and respect to him with your golden microphone and you play the song at the end of this show.
I think all of us can feel that coming through the show.
That's why we all are here tonight.
Over 100,000 watching this right now.
The love is there and we know you're going to be successful.
And I just, you know, I don't, Alex, hopefully this is an eye-opener for him and you're taking the high road with this, but I could see the cookie crumbling.
Owen, about a year ago, when I would turn on, I would hit my link for InfoWars at three o'clock to watch you.
And it was Alex's show.
And Alex made me take the extra step to go down and look for the war room and then hit that link to pull you up.
And I'm just like, man, to me, that I just, I was like, okay, something's not right here.
Maybe Alex is feeling like he's getting outshined a little bit.
I don't know what's going on.
But Owen, I wish you all the best.
And, you know, we love Alex and we love InfoWars, but sometimes these things happen.
And maybe by dividing, our movement will be stronger.
So good luck to you, brother.
We're here for you, man.
owen shroyer
Appreciate that, Chris.
Really do.
And, you know, let me respond to one thing he said there.
Well, maybe two things.
First of all, I'm not sure Alex wants any advice from me right now, but I would say, Alex, just, you know, do whatever you want with the war room, but I would, but I would say you probably should just, you should probably just cancel it and just dedicate that crew to your own show and dedicate that crew to stuff that you want to do because I get it.
I know why you come on the show when I was live and I know why you break in with news reports and stuff that you want me to cover.
So I would say, Alex, I would just take that crew and just dedicate it to you.
It's where it belongs anyway.
And I know that that's what you've always felt.
And that's fine.
I get it.
I have no ill will, folks.
I'm not leaving in any sort of a negative way.
This is just how I had to do it.
I had no other choice except to do this tonight.
It's not how I wanted to do it, but it's how I had to do it.
So I would just recommend to Alex, just dedicate the entire War Room crew to yourself.
You know, they already work enough.
You already want to do special reports and special broadcasts and everything when the war room is live anyway.
So I would just either replay your own show in that time slot or I would just like dedicate that crew to cutting other reports and other stuff up for yourself.
Because that's what you've, it's what you've wanted anyway.
And that's fine.
And that's why I have nothing but appreciation for all the stuff that Alex did for me.
Nothing but appreciation.
And I didn't want it to go down like this, but it did.
So yeah, that's, you know, that might, that might help him scratch that itch, you know, at 3.30 or 4.30 when he wants to break in and cover something.
Now he can just do it and he doesn't have to worry about there being a crew for me.
He can just not have to worry about me at all.
And he doesn't have to babysit me or anything else.
So I think it'll be good for him, hopefully.
Hopefully as well, I would say.
And then, you know, the other thing you said, and this is a little, this is a little more tricky, but I'll go ahead and I'll take, I'll stand on out.
I'll walk off on a limb real quick.
When Rush died, and I was an everyday listener of Rush, huge fan of Rush.
If you want to know my biggest inspirations in media, let's say my top five inspirations.
I don't know if I could label them from one to five, but let's say my top five inspirations in broadcast media, Alex Jones, Rush Limbaugh, Michael Savage, Kevin Slayton, and Jim Rome.
And I've learned a lot.
I've been a true, I mean, I'm a master, folks.
I would say I have a master degree in radio broadcasting simply because I've been studying and following and learning from the best for the better half of my life.
So when Rush died, there were people who were kind of there that they considered, oh, is he the new Rush?
Like a Chris Plant or a Dan Bongino or an Andrew Wilkow, who I listen to all of them, by the way.
I study them all.
But I don't know if they were ever really rush heads.
And I don't really know if they ever had.
I mean, Wilkow and Plant are radio broadcasters.
They are true radio broadcasters.
So they have that.
Bongino was a former law enforcement officer, turned podcaster, who never really did a radio presentation to begin with.
But I don't think Wil Cow or Plant ever really had that personal appeal.
And don't get me wrong, both are, I can, I mean, I don't know them, but you know, Plant, Chris Plant seems like nothing but a great guy.
And Andrew Wilkow seems like the kind of guy that I would go to a bar with and, you know, we'd get, we'd have some fun, you know.
But, but I really believe if there's anybody out there, and nobody can replace Rush, nobody can be Rush, but if there's anybody out there that can fill that void, if there's anybody out there that can reach the American people and as many as they possibly, as many as humanly possible to reach and to spend three hours a day with, if there's anybody out there that can accomplish that again, I think I'm that person.
That's the person I want to be.
And I learned not maybe a couple years ago, a long time ago, I don't know how you want to put it, but I figured I used to think I wanted to be Alex Jones.
And then I realized I don't want to be Alex Jones.
I don't want to live the life Alex lives.
I don't want to treat my career and the people around me like Alex does.
And I don't want to, I mean, if through osmosis, if I become so successful, I could run a network, then okay, maybe, but I don't want to run a network.
I don't want to have a bunch of other people that I feel like I have to watch or babysit.
And maybe I would manage things differently.
But no, I realized it's really better to stay as isolated as possible, if that makes sense.
So that's why I don't want to do the guests on my show.
I don't want to do all the different people you end up being associated with or affiliated with through a network that you would otherwise have no association or affiliation with.
And that's not saying these aren't great people.
Don't take anything out of context here.
Most of the people I networked with through InfoWars, amazing people, awesome.
But, you know, every once in a while, something doesn't go right.
Every once in a while, things don't go so well.
And I need to be able to do it my way.
You know, Alex is a bull in the china shop.
He doesn't care about the damage done.
I don't want to operate that way.
I don't want to live that way.
I don't want to operate that way.
So I did it with him.
We had massive success.
There's no doubt we changed the world.
We changed the world.
And I feel like Wednesday with that big story, that was kind of our last dance.
And now it's just like, all right, I did it.
I got burned again.
And then I'm not even running my own show the next day.
So that means a lot, though.
That means a lot.
I just want you to have the utmost confidence that when you tune into my show for three hours a day, you know you're going to be getting news and you're not going to want to tune out because I do something or say something crazy or whatever.
There'll be times where you disagree with me.
There'll be times when you might think I'm nuts.
But I always want you to trust that I'm coming from a place of honesty.
I'm not trying to sensationalize.
I'm not trying to clickbait.
I'm not trying to drag you into something using some false gravity.
You're going to tune in.
You're going to get nothing but news presented as an anchorman, as America's anchorman, a broadcaster, a professional.
And so that's what I want.
A three-hour broadcast that you feel comfortable and confident sharing with your friends and family, a three-hour news show that you feel confident and comfortable having playing in your car when you're driving people around, playing in your business when you're in there working and having clients come in.
That's what I want to do.
That's what I'm trying to do.
And then when you can create that and you can amass that audience, then when it's time to make a big strike, you can do it and you can do it right and you can do it without getting burned.
But I've spent too much time.
Let's go back to the phone lines now.
All right, next caller.
What's your name?
Where are you from?
albert in pennsylvania
This is Albert from Pennsylvania.
owen shroyer
Hey, what's up?
albert in pennsylvania
Hey, Owen.
I just wanted to call in.
I wanted to make sure I got in tonight.
owen shroyer
I wanted to.
I would have not signed off without you getting in.
I promise.
albert in pennsylvania
Oh, well, thanks, Owen.
Thanks, Owen.
owen shroyer
No, thank you.
Thank you.
And, you know, so people understand.
And I kind of, you know, your imitator has gotten a little bit better over time.
So now I kind of have to, I kind of have to make sure it's you before I go all in.
But for people that don't understand, Albert has been a loyal listener.
He's been a caller into this show, but he's also probably on Rumble, the biggest, he's been the biggest financial supporter on Rumble by far.
So I want to say thank you, Albert.
albert in pennsylvania
Oh, well, hey, thank you, Owen.
And, you know, your show has always meant a lot to me and everything.
And I just wanted to say that I wanted to first say that, you know, I've been watching InfoWars for a long, long time.
And I've seen a lot of people come and a lot of people go.
Heavy hitters, big names, you know what I mean?
From Paul Joseph Watson, David Knight, Leanne, try to name them all.
But there has only ever been one Owen Schwer.
And you really have taken the reins and been my go-to show on InfoWars, I would say, ever since 2020.
And you have really, you know, opened everything up and brought a whole new light and spin on InfoWars and kind of like a breath of fresh air that I think the network needed.
And, you know, I got to tell you, I've actually, through your show, gotten to meet two of the best friends I've ever had.
And, you know, I don't really want to say too much on air or whatever, but, you know, you had them on your show back in 2019, and I've gotten to know them really well.
And, you know, this is no pressure, no nothing, but you want to get in contact with me.
You can message me on X or whatever.
You can figure out who it is.
They're the only other people I mention in my bio other than you.
And if you ever want to go on their show or whatever and spread the message to maybe a little bit of a different audience, you just let me know and I can hook that up for you.
But, Owen, your time on InfoWars will be nothing short of legendary.
I think that you have surpassed.
And I'm not going to, I'm not going to sit on here and shit on Alex.
owen shroyer
Don't get me in trouble.
Don't get it doesn't matter now, actually.
It doesn't matter.
No, no.
The cage match is over.
It's over.
albert in pennsylvania
Yes, yes.
No, no, this is that.
This is not that.
I just wanted to say that you have become InfoWars for me.
And if it wasn't for you, I would have probably shut off InfoWars five, six years ago when I thought that it became too much of, you know, the Trump 24-7 network.
You have kind of been the catalyst of change that really has taken it to the next level.
And it's a damn shame that it had to end this way.
But I feel like for you, this is an opportunity.
Maybe this is like a blessing in disguise or whatever.
I just want to give you some inspiration or whatever that, you know.
owen shroyer
Well, I appreciate that.
Let me respond to that.
Hold on to the line real quick here, Albert.
albert in pennsylvania
Yeah.
owen shroyer
First of all, this is probably InfoWars, the work I put in there since, I guess I came over spring.
I think it was spring of 2016.
I forget the exact date, but it was, I believe it was April of 2016 was my first appearance.
I've never done something this long.
You know, I've always been the kind of person that needs something new.
You know, I don't know.
I don't know how else to explain.
Like a rolling stone.
You know, they say like a rolling stone.
It's kind of like that.
I've always been, I've always been like a rolling stone, never gathering any moss.
But I've been doing the same thing virtually at InfoWars for almost 10 years.
And so there might have been a little bit of that angst building up, even though I loved it.
But I'd like to think, and I think it's just true.
I think I probably have done more for the InfoWars brand than anybody not named Alex Jones.
I mean, I don't think that's much of a stretch at all, quite frankly.
I don't think anybody has done more for InfoWars that's not named Alex Jones except for me.
And I don't, again, I have no regrets.
That meant a lot to me.
I wish it didn't end this way, but it is what it is.
And so having said that, I'm also very stubborn, but I am a true believer in giving things up to God.
I really am.
And, you know, whenever I've gone through things personally or professionally in, let's say, everything that led to this decision today, I always just gave it to God.
I always just said, you know what?
God will let me know.
It's not even going to be up to me.
It was never up to me, and it's not ever going to be up to me.
It'll always be up to God.
So, you know, we went through some stuff in the last couple of weeks.
And I always just said, okay, I'm just going to give it to God.
It's just, God will let me know.
And then there were just more signs like now's the time, just more signs from God.
Like, now's the time.
What are you doing?
Now's the time.
And in my stubbornness, I said, well, let me just be sure.
And so when I called Alex and I said, hey, I want to come in this week, but after that, it's done.
Let's do it on your show.
Let's make it positive.
And I want to shake your hand.
And I wanted all to be good.
And when he said, no, don't come in this week.
We don't need you.
To me, that was the final sign from God.
It's like, okay, that's it.
That's it.
It's like, there is nothing.
There is literally not another stone I could turn over to say it's time to stay.
That was it.
So, you know, God has left me no other choice now.
I'm going and I'm going to do my own thing.
I am excited about it.
I'm taking a big leap of faith.
It's quite frankly a big risk.
But, you know, I have faith in myself.
I'm betting on myself.
I have an incredible support group of friends and family.
And I think that, you know, God wouldn't have pushed me here if it's not where he wanted me to be, Albert.
albert in pennsylvania
Well, no, that's definitely, that's definitely true, Owen.
And, you know, like I said, I don't know much about the inside baseball as to how things work in media or whatever.
But as far as being a businessman, I do know about that.
You know what I mean?
I'm fourth generation.
My family's been in business since 1917.
And anything that we've ever done, any decision that my father or I have ever made with another client or another employee has always been done face to face like a man.
And there's never been any of this over the phone, email, text message bullshit.
It's always been face to face like a man.
And whether I'm making the right decision or wrong decision, I've always done it like a man.
So that's just my take on that.
And people can think what they want about that, but that's all I'm going to say.
But I just wanted to leave you with this.
You know, I'm not a, I wouldn't say I'm a very spiritual person.
I believe in God and all that.
I don't know the Bible and all that word for word, but I will say that my favorite psalm has always been Psalm 27.
And in Psalm 27, they say, though my enemies and foes come upon me to eat of my flesh, they shall stumble and fall.
And I think, Owen, this is your moment when even you like people you might think they're coming, they're coming in on you to take you out.
You will ultimately be the one that will prevail and will end up a better and stronger man from all of this.
And I just wanted to shout out to the audience.
I gave my support as soon as you said the link on your gifts and go.
And I see there's over 1,000 on Rumble, 100 and something to 140,000 on X. You know, everybody that can, you know, if you have $5,000, $10 to spare for the Hulu or for the Netflix every month,
then just, you know, $5,000, $10 for Owen one time to help him build something that's actually going to bring you substantial information more than what any series or entertainment on some streaming service is going to bring you.
And I just, because like I have my faith in Owen, and I just want everyone else out there to know that I think that, you know, anybody that's been an InfoWars follower like I have for so long, that you're listening to the next, not just the next Alex Jones, not just the next Russian Limbaugh, but you're listening to the next, to something, someone that's really going to change the world in that same way.
But I just wanted to leave you with some words of encouragement and let you know that I'm looking forward to whatever comes next, whatever in the future.
And I'll be watching you and I'll still be here supporting you.
And I just wanted to, you know, make sure I called in and gave my two cents on this.
But I'll let you continue on, get to some more callers.
And, you know, maybe, you know, I'll stay here and watch the rest of the stream.
So God bless you, Owen.
And I'll be here supporting you.
owen shroyer
Thank you, Albert.
That means a lot.
I really appreciate that.
And, you know, I look forward to talking to you in the future.
And, you know, I look, I've gotten a couple thousand dollars on the fundraiser, and that, and that means a lot, because that's what ultimately I'm going to use to build my studio.
And, you know, give me some breathing room in the time.
Because, you know, I'm not a rich man.
I'm going to sell my car and my house in order to make this transition, and I'm going to bet all in on myself.
And so that's the decision I've made.
So as much as the financial support is appreciated and needed, and it will always thank you for that.
The fact that I have people calling in and speaking so kindly of me and the fact that I have, I mean, I can barely, I can just look at my phone and see the latest, but I have thousands of messages and stuff incoming right now.
I just see the stuff, and it's just, oh, God bless you.
You know, we're praying.
I mean, it's just that, that's, I can't tell you the weight of that, positive weight of that.
It just like, it makes me go Super Saiyan, man.
So I could, if I write, if I reached my fundraising goal of $30,000 tonight, which would be enough for basically to guarantee I can have a new studio by October 6th, like that would guarantee it, which would be a huge relief and would be just so awesome.
That's like a 99% awesome, like 100% awesome.
The messages and the phone calls.
I mean, that's like, that's more, I mean, for me, that's more fuel in my tank than even a dollar bill.
Obviously, that won't pay the bills, but I mean, you get the point.
I mean, that's what fuels me.
That's what I love.
That's what I want.
So I don't know if I'll ever be a millionaire, but I'll be a quadrillionaire with my friends and family.
And that's what matters to me.
And so that's why I have to be the best person.
That's why I want to be the best person I can be.
That's why I want you to be the best person you can be.
That's the community I want to build.
That's the community I want to be a part of.
That's the community I want to move forward with.
All right, next caller.
What's your name?
Where are you from?
willie in san diego
Oh, hey, Owen.
It's Willie from California.
Hi, Willie.
Good to talk to you.
Yeah.
You know, just like Donald Trump needed to hand the baton here to somebody that's a little more eloquent and a little more politically strategic, Alex inevitably has to hand the reins to somebody like yourself.
And we're just so happy for you, bro.
I can't tell you.
owen shroyer
Well, I appreciate that.
And again, I want to just be perfectly clear for the new people.
This is not how I wanted to leave InfoWars.
I did not plan on doing this tonight.
I planned on meeting with Alex.
This is in reference to the last caller who said you normally meet with somebody in person.
I planned on meeting Alex tomorrow.
I asked him to meet me tomorrow in studio to have a meeting and to work this out.
And I wanted to finish the week at InfoWars and then go my separate way and on a positive note, shake his hand in the studio for all to see and say, thank you, love you.
This is great.
He didn't want to do it.
So he did it over the phone call.
He told me not to come in.
And so that's why I'm doing this tonight.
I was left with no other choice.
But so, okay, fine.
That's fine.
I'm not carrying any ill will.
I'm not carrying any beef.
Like I said earlier, I hope Alex never even mentions me.
Or if he does, I hope it's positive.
I don't, I don't, this is not some, I'm not trying to go out negative on Alex.
I'm not trying to ride some wave again.
No, I have nothing.
My experience working for Alex, everything I've done at InfoWars, nothing but a blessing, nothing but positivity behind me.
I'm just ready to go a different way.
He wanted to end it like this, not me.
So it is what it is.
So I don't even want, I hope I never have to address it.
I hope he never brings it up.
I hope he just goes on and does his show and forgets about me.
That would be better.
And maybe somewhere down the line, we can reconvene or do something together.
But I'd rather not even have to bring that up or even address that again.
So I hope he just doesn't even mention it.
But I don't know.
willie in san diego
Your integrity shines through.
I don't think that you need any explanation.
It's been beneficial for everybody, you included and Alex, the whole experience.
And we understand why.
We've seen the intrusion and everything else in the debates, you know, the intrusions.
And that's just Alex.
We all know that.
We laugh about that.
That's what we love about Alex.
But you are shining through.
You are the future.
Just like Donald Trump needs to hand it over.
Alex needed to hand it over.
We're glad you have the baton, buddy.
owen shroyer
Well, there was no handover.
I basically am just going to build my own, I guess, would be the better analogy.
willie in san diego
Well, I don't think he has any real ill will.
I think the man is frustrated, like you said, with all he's been through legally lately and everything else.
I mean, everybody understands the pressure he's under.
owen shroyer
Of course.
willie in san diego
But lately, it's taken a turn.
owen shroyer
And that's why I didn't want to do it this way.
That's why I didn't, I understand all the crap that he's put up with.
I'm not trying to be a negative.
And even that's what I'm saying.
Like, I even told him on the phone, I was like, Alex, you know, I don't want to be somebody you feel like you have to babysit.
I don't want to be with somebody you feel like you're teaching to ride a bike and you have to hold me up without training wheels.
Like, you got enough stress, you know?
So if that's how you feel about me on air, like, I have no problem, man.
I'm gone.
Don't worry about me.
Don't think about me.
You got your own stuff.
Like, I'm not trying to add to the mountain of crap that Alex has to deal with.
I don't want that.
I'm trying not to do that.
But I have to look out for myself eventually.
And so that's why I'm doing this tonight.
I have to do this for myself, for my own sake.
I can't do this on InfoWars.
So I have to do it here.
But yeah, I never, so that was kind of even a part of it.
It's like, hey, if I'm becoming this negative spotter, I'm becoming this thing that Alex feels like he's having to take care of like a baby all the time.
It's like he doesn't need that.
So I'm not going to be that for him anymore.
willie in san diego
Well, this is a wonderful opportunity, and we wish you nothing but the best, peace, and love.
And we're going to be in there with you on the future.
My wife and I watch you every day.
So we're not stopping.
We'll be in there.
We got the link to the give, send, go.
Thank you, bro.
owen shroyer
All right.
I appreciate it.
I will appreciate your patience in this transition.
I hate having to take a month off.
Believe me, I hate having to take a month off, but I have to do it to build this network, to bring in the money, get in the clients, get in the sponsors, build the new studios, lay all the infrastructure, hopefully even be able to hire some people to help.
But it's just a necessity for me to take this month off.
So like I said, I'm still going to be very active on X. I plan on shooting a lot of just short local video reports, like on breaking news stories, like a two-minute report on this breaking news from the day, a two-minute report on this breaking news from the day.
So I'm going to be very active and still out there on X. I'm not going to totally disappear.
And I'll still do Owen Schroyer live at night on Rumble and on X just to keep some live activity going.
But I'm not going to return to the 3 to 6 p.m. time slot, which is my favorite time slot.
That's been my dream time slot since I was 18 years old, listening and doing talk radio.
Yes, folks, I've been doing media really since I was like 15.
I've been doing media.
I mean, I have a very extensive resume.
For a 36-year-old, you're not going to find many people with a more extensive resume than mine in media.
So I'm really excited for the chance to prove that.
I just, I do, I do pray, and I do hope you'll be patient in this month before I return to the 3 to 6 p.m. time slot in October with the Owen report from a new studio.
So I do appreciate your and I hope for your patience there.
Next caller, what's your name?
Where are you from?
unidentified
Oh, it's Patty in Boston.
owen shroyer
Oh, here we go.
This should be a fun one.
unidentified
So, hey, man, I got to say, six years ago, six years ago, it's impossible now, but six years ago, you said some stuff on Twitter and then invited me on your show to debate you on, you know, politics or whatever.
And I showed my Bob Mueller tattoo, and we had a good time, you know, joking around and busting each other's balls.
And that set off an unfortunate string of silliness for the next several years.
owen shroyer
Don't you put that on me, Ricky Bobby.
unidentified
No, look, man, I'm sad that it's over.
Like in this iteration, just on InfoWars, I'm sure we'll continue to break each other's balls for years to come.
But, you know, look, man, I don't want to weigh in on the situation except to say that I really do appreciate the fact that over the years, you've always entertained my bullshit.
And we've busted each other's chops and had a good time doing it.
And I wish you luck in your future endeavors.
I'm sure you're not going to need luck because I think you're going to do fine.
owen shroyer
Well, I'll expand on that for a second.
I think you do understand this.
And maybe so people have a better idea.
I don't know where you stand now.
I don't know if you would still consider yourself a liberal progressive.
You're definitely not in the right.
unidentified
No.
owen shroyer
Yeah.
Okay.
So, no.
So my point is, though, like, and this is where you and I, this is where you and I are kin: is that I love political debate.
I even like people that disagree with me.
And to a certain degree, I appreciate more the people that can really disagree and really, I mean, vehemently disagree if we have to, and then break bread and smile and laugh and say, hey, at the end of the day, we're all just meat and flesh and blood here.
Let's, you know, let's have it out.
But then, you know, hey, come on, let's not take our toast too seriously here.
We're just like ants marching, you know?
So let's have a good time.
unidentified
No, absolutely.
And I always appreciated the fact that I knew when I had a discussion with you on Infowars that it was going to be, you know, enjoyable and we could make jokes and have a good laugh.
And, you know, we could still make political points that we were serious about.
Like, I mean, we definitely, like, I respect the fact that you are, you know, strident in your political beliefs, and so am I. But we can be people who don't have to like hate each other and scream and yell.
owen shroyer
And we can treat other people like people, you know?
unidentified
Yeah, no, I know.
I know, I know.
So, so I'm looking forward to what you're doing in the future, man.
And I'm psyched about it.
I guess maybe it's kind of sad that it's not going to be an Infowars anymore.
But hey, man, things happen and what can you do?
So good luck to you, man.
I really mean that.
owen shroyer
I appreciate that.
We'll definitely be in touch.
You'll find your way in.
You always do.
Just like tonight.
You'll always find your way.
You'll always squeeze your way into that door.
I know you.
unidentified
All right, brother.
Take it easy.
owen shroyer
Patty.
unidentified
You know what's funny about that?
owen shroyer
Is I guess he said, when did he say we were talking trash or something on X and we ended up meeting in person having a great time?
And that's such, I wouldn't, it's not like that's an isolated situation.
It's just like, that's what I like.
I should be able to have a disagreement with you, even if we get passionate, even if we get heated.
You know, hell, even if it comes to blows.
But it's like, hey, can you still see me as a human?
It's like, hey, at the end of the day, can we still break bread and share our life experience?
Can we find the things we like?
Can we find the things we have in common despite all of that?
And it's funny because it is too rare of an occasion, but it's like, that's what it was like.
It's like, find someone.
Can you find someone that you vehemently disagree with on everything and then say, hey, let's break bread.
Let's share a laugh.
Let's share a drink.
Let's share an experience.
And even though we have all of this stuff that we disagree with, we have more in common.
And life is good, damn it.
Next caller, what's your name?
Where are you from?
And even though we have all this stuff, yes, you're on the air.
What's your name?
Where are you from?
unidentified
Oh, Stefan.
I'm from New York.
owen shroyer
You said, did you say Stefan?
unidentified
Yeah, from New York.
owen shroyer
Okay, Stefan.
All right, go ahead.
unidentified
Yeah, what's up, man?
I'm Stefan from New York.
owen shroyer
Yep, Stephan, you're on the air.
unidentified
Go ahead.
I don't hear anyone.
owen shroyer
You can't hear me right now?
Okay.
Well, Stephan, that's a strange thing.
We tried.
Next caller, what's your name?
Where are you from?
unidentified
What's up, Bowen?
I'm Chris.
I'm in Florida.
How are you doing, buddy?
owen shroyer
All right, Chris.
I'm all right.
unidentified
No, I was just watching this North Carolina TCU game, and I think there's some parallels with the Beller Chad Brady thing.
And you know how sometimes the Eagles get in the way and you got to break off and do your own thing.
I just want to let you know that I support you, man.
You've always been like an intellectual brother to me.
You've taken the thought out of my head countless times.
So I'm going to miss hearing you on InfoWars, but can't wait to see what's coming for you in the future, man.
owen shroyer
Did you just compare me to Tom Brady?
unidentified
I did, sir.
owen shroyer
I like you, Chris.
Yeah, I like.
unidentified
Hey, man, if the glove fits, then you got to wear it.
owen shroyer
I think you're a smart guy.
unidentified
You know, he's a great player, but you've been a great host.
owen shroyer
Now, I hope I'm a better broad.
I hope I'm a better broadcaster than Tom.
unidentified
Yeah, he's not the best.
owen shroyer
We're going to have to find out.
We're going to have to find out what happens this year.
Yeah, it's tough.
Although, I will say, if you go back and you listen to some of Troy Aikman's original work, see, the thing was, when Troy first got into broadcasting, he was on a three-man broadcast team, and Joe Buck was his partner at the time.
So he had some time to kind of learn the ropes a little bit.
And Troy is definitely good now.
It's very rare that somebody walks right into a job and is amazing like Tony Romo.
I mean, Romo's one of the best.
But Brady really Brady really struggled last year, but I hope he can do better this year.
I do.
unidentified
Well, we'll see.
You know, it's going to be a good season.
I always loved how you made political and sports references.
That was something that hits home for me since I'm the same age as you.
I'm 35.
So I always looked at you as like, okay, this is kind of like myself if I was a broadcaster.
So, man, I just want to let you know I support you.
And, you know, maybe that methylene blue got to Alex's head a little bit.
What can we say?
owen shroyer
I don't know.
I don't take the methylene blue, so I don't know.
unidentified
So I'm just, I'm just playing that.
It's crazy how that happened, though, man.
You know, but it's all for the best.
You got a good fan base.
And I talked to someone real, real smart in the branding space.
And he always told me it's better to have a small, loyal following than a big following that isn't loyal.
So I think you got a pretty loyal following.
owen shroyer
Yeah.
Well, it's been proven before.
I hope it'll be proven again.
But what I really want to do is I want to build the biggest.
I mean, I'll just put it like this since it got brought up earlier.
I want to build the biggest political family and political movement since Rush Limbaugh.
That's what I want to do.
And I mean, you could say that InfoWars might have been the biggest.
After Rush's passing, you could probably say InfoWars was the biggest.
Maybe it still is.
I don't know.
The landscape is changing so fast now.
And I guess after tonight, even more so.
But that's what I want to do.
I want to be as inviting for everybody, even the people that disagree.
I want to be inviting for everybody.
I want to create a political movement and a political family.
And the truth is, you have to be because I get trouble sometimes for being a normie, let's say, because I like movies.
I like sports.
I like music.
You know, I like going out and having a steak dinner.
You know, stuff people say, oh, that's normie stuff.
Well, you know, most people are normies.
Somebody's got to reach out to them.
Somebody has to reach the normies.
Somebody has to bring them in.
Somebody has to get them on our team.
So why not me?
unidentified
He always said that InfoWars wasn't an echo chamber of the same beliefs.
And then when you were kind of pushing back on some of the stuff that wasn't happening that we were promised, Alex was getting all excited about it and coming in on your show.
I've seen this multiple times and I saw you that you were getting frustrated.
owen shroyer
So, hey, so look, you could say that was a point of contention, which is fine.
Hey, I hope all the great stuff happens that we want Trump to do.
I wouldn't bet on it, but you know, just like I hope, just like I hope the best for Alex and InfoWars.
I hope nothing but the best for all of it.
But I have to move on from that.
I have to call it as I see it.
I have to tell the truth as I see it with the people that I talk to and my sources and everything.
And so that's what I'm going to do.
And I need to be able to do that free and clear of any other influence.
And so I need to be doing it.
I need to do it in my own way.
I need to do it in my own fashion.
And I have faith that when I'm able to do that, that we're going to be massively successful.
And I do mean we.
I don't go into this alone.
I might be the face.
I might be the voice, but I'm not, I don't look at this thing as I'm going into this alone.
Every single person that's donated to my fundraiser tonight, you're on this team.
I'm bringing us all up.
Everybody that tunes in every day to my show, you're on this team.
I'm bringing us all up.
This is about all of us.
Okay.
And so that's how this is going to go.
unidentified
Well, it was a pleasure talking to you, Owen.
And just keep doing your thing, man.
You know, you got your supporters.
And like they say, a rising tide rises all ships.
So we're counting on you, buddy.
And just keep up the good work.
Keep being you.
And you put the time in.
You made the sacrifices.
You had to sit in a damn cell for fucking 50 days or whatever it was.
God, that's and man.
I know.
Tell me about it, brother.
owen shroyer
So you want me to?
I'll tell you.
I'll tell you.
Yeah, I know, right?
I could.
I got a book.
I wrote a book.
I could publish the book.
Should I publish the book?
unidentified
Absolutely.
owen shroyer
But see, like, that's another thing.
unidentified
I'm curious to know what was going on in there.
owen shroyer
So, you know, this is kind of another thing.
And again, I just want to reiterate: I am not, I am, this is not about Alex.
I am not.
I have nothing but positive things to say.
We had some professional issues.
I'm out at the show.
I've told you the whole story.
But I've been dealing with this stuff for a long time, folks.
You got to understand being a network guy is its own beast.
So I would have loved to have published the book, but it's just like when you're at a network, everything, it's like when you're working for Alex Jones and InfoWars, everything has to benefit him and InfoWars.
So I was okay with that.
I wore the InfoWars on the front of the jersey proudly.
I had no problem with that.
I passed on certain opportunities and said, give them to the crew.
And I passed on other opportunities that would have been financially beneficial for myself, but would have been outside the reigns of InfoWars.
So I just never did it because I never wanted to look at it like that.
I never wanted Alex to have a reason to think I was, you know, crossing him or trying to make money without him and all that.
I never wanted to do it.
So yeah, I passed on a bunch of opportunities.
I passed on a bunch of products because I simply always put InfoWars first and foremost.
But that's in the past now.
So I suppose now I could do the book.
I suppose now I could publish the book.
unidentified
Absolutely.
Absolutely.
It's something you should do.
owen shroyer
Maybe I'll do a couple books.
Yeah.
Yeah, maybe I'll do a couple.
unidentified
It's like the Ovid report.
We can't wait to hear it.
You're a talented broadcaster.
Like I said, you've taken the thought literally out of my head so many times and said it on air.
I cannot tell you how many times I've done it.
owen shroyer
Well, I'm a quantum mind reader.
unidentified
Well, you know, we're hitting the same frequency, you know?
owen shroyer
It's the human frequency.
It's the human frequency.
unidentified
It's tough.
You know, sometimes it's tough working for a boss that can get a little crazy sometimes.
So at this age, you know what I mean?
It's time to go out on your own, spread your wings, as they say.
And you only get one chance to make a first impression, my friend.
So when you talk to these advertisers, you know what you got to do, you know?
owen shroyer
Well, I appreciate that.
And maybe I should give out like an email or something for any inquiries if they do want to be a sponsor of the new network and the new show.
In fact, I will do that.
Let me pick what email I want to give out, though.
unidentified
It's a lot of work, but I know you can do it, man.
But yeah, exactly.
You're going to start seeing this type of stuff, you know.
owen shroyer
Yeah.
Well, I wasn't, I didn't, I didn't, I didn't really anticipate to do this broadcast tonight.
Like I said, I thought I would go into InfoWars tomorrow and have a good outcome of a meeting with Alex and shake his hand.
unidentified
But you know what?
I'm glad that you built your infrastructure so you had the ability to do this broadcast because it's an important message that you're sending right now.
And without that, without putting in the groundwork for this, there would be no stream tonight or it would be a lower quality stream.
I see that you've upped the quality now and it sounds great.
I mean, the studio that you're working in now sounds great.
owen shroyer
Well, thank you.
unidentified
I appreciate it.
owen shroyer
I appreciate that.
But I'm going, my goal, my goal is, and I appreciate everybody's patience in the month of September when I'm not going to be doing the live show every day.
But in October, my goal is I'm going to have an even better studio, much more professional looking, hopefully be able to hire at least one person to help me run it so that it's a little better well-run and handle some of the things.
So that's my goal.
But I appreciate it.
I built this studio.
You know, I've been an audio engineer.
I've been a video engineer.
I've worked TV and radio production for years.
I know how to do this stuff.
So I do want to build my own studio the way I want it and the way I want it to sound and look and everything else.
And so I do plan on doing that next.
But that's what that month is going to be.
So the month of September, I'm going to take a bunch of opportunities I've been passing on.
I'm going to sell all my stuff.
I'm going to bet all in on myself.
I'm going to do fundraising.
We're going to try to bring in some sponsors and then we're going to launch the Wind Network and the Owen Report.
It looks like October 6th.
Again, this is just kind of a mock-up of the logo.
I don't know if we're going to settle on this or not.
This is the mic flag I had worked up.
But that's the plan, brother.
So if people, if the people that are donating tonight at give send go/slash help Owen Schroyer or Owen.help, I believe is the other link that hopefully is working now.
Everybody that's going to help support me, everybody that's going to be patient in this transition, I can't thank you enough.
God bless you.
I love you.
Yeah, Owen.help is the new link.
So I'll update that.
That's a little easier.
But I really appreciate that, man.
And I look forward.
You know what?
I'll say it like this.
I look forward to talking to you for the rest of your life.
That's what I look forward to doing.
unidentified
I love it, man.
I love it.
owen shroyer
Right on, man.
Appreciate that call.
That's what it is.
Because I get it.
I'm a fan of talk radio.
I'm a student of talk.
Like, I get it.
When Rush died, man, I cried.
When they took Michael Savage's show off the air, I was pissed.
unidentified
When they attack Alex, I'm pissed.
owen shroyer
You know?
So I get it.
But that's who I want to be for you.
I want to be that guy.
I want to have a personal relationship.
I want to be invited into your house, into your car, into your work of business for three hours a day to cover news.
And there is not a greater honor in the world that I could think of for me.
Next caller, what's your name?
Where are you from?
tom in chicago
My name is Tom.
I'm from Chicago.
owen shroyer
All right, Tom.
tom in chicago
I just wanted to say I think you're going to crush your next endeavor, and I will be following along closely.
And the reason is because I think you're one of the only real, honest people covering the news, especially when it comes to Trump.
You're not a blind, you know, proponent.
You actually break things down credibly.
And I always come back to if it can't be applied universally, it's not logic, it's propaganda.
owen shroyer
That's one of my, that's one of my quote, that's one of my quotant quotables right there.
If it can't be applied universally, it's not logic, it's propaganda.
We're going to, we're going to etch that one in.
We're going to develop a couple more, I think, in the coming years, but that's definitely one that stuck.
tom in chicago
Exactly.
I got it from you, and it was just like engraved in my mind.
So you should frame that for your new studio.
owen shroyer
I'll get it etched into stone or something.
Exactly.
We'll make the Texas Guidestones.
tom in chicago
But for good.
For good.
owen shroyer
Well, yes, of course.
tom in chicago
I was just going to say, and I also really appreciate the brass balls you have when you go into these protests and try to talk to people and try to find common ground.
But sadly, they're brainwashed zombies.
So that gives me a lot of inspiration to talk to people like that.
owen shroyer
Let's talk about that, actually.
Can we talk about that real quick, if you wouldn't mind?
tom in chicago
Yeah, absolutely.
owen shroyer
So I'm sure you've noticed I don't really do that as much these days, right?
tom in chicago
Right.
owen shroyer
I'm not really out there.
unidentified
Yeah.
owen shroyer
And that's for a couple reasons.
One, we just don't have, we lost our security funding, so I can't go out there without security, obviously.
But, you know, two, I feel like it's a young man's game.
You know, I feel like it's a young man's game.
I'm 36 now.
I got some, you know, I got some salt and pepper in my beard.
I feel like going out there in your 30s, it's a little, you know, I could do it.
And I could, I mean, look, I'll say a little arrogantly here.
I think I'm the best ever do it.
I don't think, I think I'm probably the best to ever go out on the streets and do that.
I mean, I create, you could argue I created that genre.
You could say that was the biggest thing on YouTube in 2016.
Okay, so, all right, arrogance aside.
Would it upset you, though?
I'm genuinely asking, would it upset you if you didn't see much of that ever from me again?
Again, I just feel like it's a young man's game.
There are young guys that go out there and do this now, so I don't feel like I have to anymore because there's other guys that do it.
It's not about a spotlight thing for me.
I would much rather have the other guys out there doing it.
And I think it's a young man's game, but also at the same time, I want to come through for the audience.
So, I mean, is that something that do you think that's something you could accept that I'm just not going to do much of that?
Or should I be working that into the future game plan?
Or is sending a man with gray and his beard out in the streets a little much?
tom in chicago
I think, you know, you're like at the Michael Jordan stage in 1996.
So you have two prime good years left where you can go dominate and then write off into the sunset.
So I think, you know, there's still room.
unidentified
Okay.
Just all right, go out there, make a couple more things happen.
owen shroyer
All right.
tom in chicago
Yeah, I still think you got some viral hits left.
Okay.
To add to the Owen Schroyer destroys volume.
So yeah, you should definitely keep that up because there's really no one else that I can go to, you know, for that kind of stuff.
And what really sucks is that if those freaking people who were at the protests were actually open-minded, we could have a lot more unity.
So it's sad to see, but I respect and appreciate your effort to, you know, go out there and try to bridge the gap.
But it takes two to tango, as they say.
unidentified
Yeah.
owen shroyer
Yeah.
All right.
Well, I appreciate that insight.
All right.
Here's what I'm going to do now.
We're going to keep going here, but I want to, I mentioned this earlier.
So let me see if I can put this email up.
If you are looking, if you are looking for inquiries about sponsorships or becoming a client of the Wynn Network in the future, I'm going to put the email up on the bottom of the screen here.
And then, all right, let's see if this works.
Yeah, too long.
unidentified
Let me see if I do this.
owen shroyer
Okay, so I've now updated it.
So Owen.help is the fundraiser.
So if you want to just donate to help me start the new network, Owen.help is the link.
If you want to, if you have an inquiry, if you want me to appear at an event, speak in an event, or anything like that, if you want to be a sponsor of the Owen report, if you want to be a client of the Wind Network, you can email support at media.when.
So if you're looking to be a sponsor in the future of the Owen report, if you're looking to be a client of Wynn Network, if you're looking to do business with me in the future, because I'm now in control of it, I can do anything I want now.
It doesn't have to go through InfoWars or Alex.
So I'm wide open now.
So if there's any inquiries, if you want to do business with me, if you want to become a client of the Wind Network, you can email support at media.when for all inquiries.
So media inquiries or sponsorship inquiries, client business inquiries, support at media.win.
Or if you just want to help me to build my new studio, you can go to owen.help.
Okay.
In the meantime, we're still taking phone calls.
So next caller, what's your name?
Where are you from?
unidentified
Kevin from Pittsburgh.
owen shroyer
All right, Kevin, go ahead.
unidentified
I just want to say thanks for all you've done over the years.
And wherever you go, I'll be tuning in.
owen shroyer
All right.
Well, are you going to be able to wait the month?
Can you take a month without me on air every day, Kevin?
unidentified
Yeah, absolutely.
Probably done with work at four o'clock, so I would catch the end of the war room.
owen shroyer
Perfect.
Perfect.
unidentified
Get home and listen to the rest of it.
owen shroyer
You know, so you know, it's funny because that's why I love that window so much, the three to six window, because I get to respond to all the news from the day.
And then for most people, you're in your car, right?
You're in your car, you're driving home from work, or maybe you're cooking dinner at home.
It's kind of a stationary period for a lot of Americans where they're doing something, but they want to listen to something at the same time.
So that's why I love the three to six window.
That's why I want to be there the rest of my life.
So that, yeah, when you're driving and you're stuck in that miserable traffic, maybe I can make it a little more bearable.
When you're cooking dinner for your family and you want something to help you pass the time, maybe I can make it pass a little faster and you're getting information.
So that's why I love that time spot.
That's why I'm not going to leave that time spot ever.
So yeah, I appreciate people's patience.
I'm going to take a week off from it.
Still going to be uploading a lot of videos to X. Still going to be going live on X and Rumble at night with Owen Schroyer Live and different random stuff.
But once we get the new network fully ready to go, I think October 6th, I'll be 3 to 6 p.m. Central weekdays, just like before.
unidentified
Yeah, it's pretty cool because you have the same time spot Michael Savage has.
So kind of just went right into you when he went off the air.
So works pretty well.
owen shroyer
Yeah, the good old days before they gave his slot to Shapiro.
unidentified
Yep.
Sucks.
owen shroyer
Yeah.
unidentified
So at least you'll be back on and roll from there.
Yep.
owen shroyer
And right now, the plan, obviously, I'll be on X and I'll be on Rumble.
And then I think we'll probably upload the audio to Spotify, Apple, iTunes, and what's the other big one?
Wherever all the big, wherever all the big audio podcasts are listed, we're going to have the audio version on all of those websites as well as the video version as well.
I thank you for the call.
Thank you so much.
Next caller, what's your name where you're from?
We have the next caller.
Yes.
Looks like we lost him.
Let's take the next caller.
What's your name where you're from?
bob in buby
Hi, I'm Bob from Bowie, Maryland.
owen shroyer
Okay, Bob, go ahead.
bob in buby
So listen, you said God was telling you it's time to leave.
And Alex's God tells him the time too.
My question is, what time is right?
Which one is it?
unidentified
I can't talk for Alex.
owen shroyer
I'm talking for myself.
So this is the right time.
bob in buby
Does God also tell you the time?
Is this a hitherto for unknown power?
owen shroyer
Oh, I'll tell you what.
If you want to ask Alex Jones a question, you can go ahead and call his show.
Okay.
I can't answer what power.
bob in buby
I'm asking you.
I'm asking you.
owen shroyer
How would I know?
How would I, what are you, what are you asking me?
bob in buby
I'm asking you, does God tell you the time?
Is this a thing you both share or is this something new?
owen shroyer
No.
No, I don't.
I don't get a, God doesn't tell me the exact time of day.
I have a natural clock like everyone else does in their head.
I don't know about that.
bob in buby
Season wakes you up and tells you it's 245 exactly.
owen shroyer
No, I've never had that experience.
bob in buby
Interesting.
Interesting.
unidentified
All right.
owen shroyer
All right, Bob.
unidentified
What is that?
owen shroyer
All right.
We're taking them all.
Next caller, what's your name where you're from?
kenny in brooklyn
My name is The Great 7-Eleven of New York City, man.
owen shroyer
7-Eleven.
Can I get you as a sponsor?
unidentified
It is 7-Eleven approves Owen Schroyer every day of the week, man.
It is now official.
The Owen Schroyer Report will be the only show ever broadcast in 7-Eleven stations.
Oh, absolutely.
I am Brian.
Let me tell you something, Owen.
It's because of you.
I am greater now.
Praise everything.
And I wanted to tell you, New York City has best lamb and chicken shawarma because of you now, Owen.
Okay, five ears open because you say it at the wallroom desk.
You say, Ahmed, you go outside and you make a living for me.
Forget this tyrannical medical tyranny that's coming and telling everybody, no, do it.
I did it.
I did it, Owen, and we did it together.
owen shroyer
Ahmed, you know, I don't know if people understand the joke, but that's funny stuff right there.
That's good.
kenny in brooklyn
Yeah, Owen, I just had a call in.
ali in new york
I went my family.
I just had my third kid, bro.
And I feel like we did it together, honestly, as in like a family, man.
And I look at a bright future for you, bro.
Honestly, I love Alex.
kenny in brooklyn
I love Infowars.
ali in new york
I love Harris.
I love the history.
Without you guys, I don't know where the world would be.
And that's why you can never turn the ship.
You never turn your mentality on the ship.
You can only just take your experiences and move forward with it, you know?
And that's what I've been doing here in New World Order Stronghold of America, other than DC.
But we got to say salute, Mr. Shroan, Owen, Destroyer, Cuck, Destroyer.
And it's been a long fucking time waiting for this, man.
And God willing, I could tune into whatever you got coming in the future because I already know what time it is, bro.
War Room doesn't stop, man.
Even if you might not be sitting there, War Room don't stop, bro.
You know, it's always, and I don't know.
It's kind of like, it's not even bittersweet.
kenny in brooklyn
It is just an incredible moment because everybody moves together at one point and we still move together.
ali in new york
But there's different experiences that everybody is going through right now.
But we all have our head focused.
And God willing, it just stays focused like that.
And we always love you, brother.
Everybody that listens calls in.
The haters, the bloggers, the people that don't know shit, man.
They all love you, bro, and they respect you.
And you're a man.
They're always listening.
owen shroyer
They're always listening.
I appreciate it.
ali in new york
No, I got you.
owen shroyer
I appreciate that.
I appreciate it.
And I'm sure we'll be talking a lot.
You know, you've always been a good caller and a great supporter.
So I appreciate that.
Let me do a quick house cleaning here and we'll get back to the calls.
Big audience tonight.
I just want to kind of hit the reset button for the people that are just tuning in that may have missed the opening.
First of all, I'll just explain at the bottom of the screen.
First of all, at the lower bottom of the screen, that is the phone number to call in tonight if you want to call in.
We have open lines.
Owen.help is the fundraiser to raise money for my next project.
I'll explain it again in a second.
And then if you want to be involved with the next project as a sponsor or some other way, or you have a media inquiry for myself, you can email support at media.win.
So support at media.win for inquiries.
If you want to help in the fundraiser, Owen.help.
But basically, you know, I've been having some InfoWars, been having some InfoWars issues, some issues over at InfoWars.
People have noticed.
I haven't been on as much lately.
I was hoping to end things positively at InfoWars.
That was my intention.
That's what I really wanted.
It meant a lot for me to do that.
I was supposed to, or I had hoped to, meet with Alex tomorrow morning in person.
He didn't want to do that.
So instead, we had a phone call tonight.
I told him where my head was at.
And he said they didn't need me and don't come in this week.
And so that was that.
And so that's it.
So that's what led to this.
I wanted to finish the week at InfoWars.
I wanted to make the announcement on InfoWars.
I wanted to make this announcement on the Alex Jones show and shake his hand and say thank you, appreciation, respect, shake his hand right there on the InfoWars platform with the InfoWars crew and the InfoWars audience.
That's what I wanted to do.
I wanted to say all that to Alex in person tomorrow.
Instead, it all happened on a phone call.
It didn't go well.
He didn't want to keep me around.
And so that's why I'm here tonight.
And then, you know, the fundraiser is to build a new network.
This is a mock-up logo.
I don't know if this will be the final logo, but the WIN network, the World Independent News Network, and the Owen Report will be live 3 to 6 p.m. weekdays.
I'm thinking I'm probably going to be launching Monday, October 6th.
If a lot of things go right and I can fast forward this, like fast forward building the new studio and have it all ready before that, then maybe I could go before that.
But basically in the next month, I'm going to have to do a media tour.
I'm going to have to take advantage of a lot of opportunities that I've been passing up for years because of my loyalty to InfoWars.
I'm going to have to sell my car, sell my house, buy a new house, build a studio in it.
And I'm going to have to do all of this in a month.
And I'm very much looking forward to this challenge and what's on the other side.
And I very much appreciate everybody's support, whether you can donate to a fundraiser or not.
Your tuning in, your sharing of the links, your prayers, everything else.
It all means the world to me.
And so for the time being, for the month of September, I'm going to be doing a lot of short video reports just on a specific news story, breaking news story, trending news story, just two, three-minute videos on these things, probably two, three, four a day for the month of September.
I'll pop on live every so once in a while here on X and Rumble with Owens Troyer Live.
So Owens Royer Live will still go.
Owens Royer Live is going to kind of turn into more of a you never know what you're going to get type of thing.
I could come on here and just have fun, listen to music, play a video game, talk big politics.
But the Owen Schroyer Live, I kind of want to be separate.
I don't really want the Owens Royer Live to be tethered to anything because that's where I'll probably get more controversial, conspiratorial, or just do random stuff that may or may not have anything to do with politics.
But when we launch the Owen Report in October, that's going to be three hours of news every day, period.
And I intend to be the best broadcaster in America.
I intend to be America's anchorman.
And you will tune in to the Owen Report 3 to 6 p.m. weekdays.
And you will feel confident and comfortable knowing that you're going to get three hours of news without sensationalizing it, without having some clickbait hook line drag you in, without having a going out of business sale or buy this product or you're going to die.
I'm not doing all of that.
You're going to feel confident and comfortable listening to it every day with your friends, with your family, in your car, your place of business.
You're going to feel confident and comfortable sharing it with friends and family, just saying, hey, you want to get the news?
You want to know how things really work?
Here's the guy.
So that's what we're going to do.
It's the news show for America, and it's news.
And it's news.
And then we'll do a little more controversial, off-the-chain stuff on Owen Schroyer Live at night.
But in October, that's the plan.
Win network goes live, the Owen report 3 to 6 p.m. weekdays, three hours of news every day, just the news, as they say.
And, you know, probably phone calls too.
It's going to be more of a traditional talk radio style in a traditional talk radio studio with the visual elements kind of intertwined into that.
So that's where things are going.
And we'll continue to take calls as we're live here tonight.
All right.
Next caller.
What's your name?
Where are you from?
Do we have you on the line?
marissa in colorado
Yes.
This is Marissa from Colorado.
owen shroyer
All right, Marissa, go ahead.

Beanie baby named Owen watches.

Yeah, he is a rainbow owl, beanie baby Owen.
And Owen watches Owen every day at the TV.
owen shroyer
Wow.
marissa in colorado

Yeah.
And honestly, like what you were saying about that you gave it to God, I'm proud of you.
That's what you should do.

Thank you for that.

marissa in colorado
Owen wants to talk to you.
unidentified
Okay, they're ready.
owen shroyer
Did you guys have a good, did you guys have a good labor day?
marissa in colorado
Say, mom made us do school because we homeschool.
Oh, that's why we watch Owen every day.
That's why we watch you every day.
owen shroyer
Wow.
Did you guys learn?
You guys learned today?
unidentified
Yep.
marissa in colorado
See, we teach cursive.
You're our news.
owen shroyer
It seems like it seems like they're a little shy.
Are they a little shy right now?
marissa in colorado
They're shy.
They're making Owen talk to you.
owen shroyer
Here's an easy note.
Here's one for you.
Do they have a favorite food?
marissa in colorado
Yeah.
owen shroyer
What's your favorite food?
unidentified
Are you going to tell Owen?
marissa in colorado
They're very, very, very shy.
If they met you in person, different story.
owen shroyer
Well, that's just touching.
That's just awesome.
I love that.
That's so great.
Yeah, I appreciate it.
marissa in colorado
We watch you all the time.
And my husband loves you.
You guys are twins musically.
I'll like Shazam something.
And I'm like, I got to show my husband whatever.
owen shroyer
He's going to love this.
He's going to love this.
I'll give you a little teaser.
I'll give you a little teaser.
I intend, I intend to make music a big part of the show going forward.
It's not going to be like.
marissa in colorado
Spring my childhood.
owen shroyer
It's not going to be like nothing is really going to change, but it's like the musical element is going to be a very important element.
You're going to get a little bit, you're going to get a little bit of an itch scratched if you like music.
And we're probably absolutely loves music.
We're going to do a little more of a cultural thing with like pop culture.
Like I'm going to do movie reviews.
Like, so like on a Friday, oh, you want to watch a movie with your family?
I'll tell you, hey, watch this.
Don't watch this.
Like, what's good?
What's bad?
So we'll do a little bit of that.
But music, if you're, if you're listening, if you're listening and you haven't heard a song in 20 years, you're going to hear it and you're like, oh, my gosh.
If you're listening and you hear, and you hear a song that you have never heard and you're like, what is this amazing sound?
I'm going to introduce you to new music.
So I do intend to make that a very big part of the show because I think it's important.
marissa in colorado
I'm so happy.
owen shroyer
Well, I think it's important to expand.
I look at it as expanding your consciousness, listening to music or appreciating art, whether it's cinema or something else.
So it's a very big part.
It's a very big part of my life.
And I want to share that.
I want to extend it with you.
And that's something I could never do at InfoWars, honestly.
I couldn't.
So now I can.
marissa in colorado
My kids love it when you headbang.
And then they make little Owen Owl headbang with you.
I'm not even joking.
They wait for you to do it and pop up in the corner on my big TV.
owen shroyer
There'll be a little more of that.
marissa in colorado
Heck yeah.
And then, yeah, it's awesome.
owen shroyer
Where are you guys?
Where are you guys from again?
marissa in colorado
We're in Colorado.
And luckily, we live in a super, super red county.
So there's no, well, my friend.
owen shroyer
Marissa, do me a favor.
Will you do a favor for me?
Yes.
I want you to send an email.
I want you to send an email, put Marissa in Colorado in the subject.
I want you to send an email to support at media.win.
Okay.
Put Marissa in Colorado in the subject and just put your name and an address.
I'm going to send your kids something special.
marissa in colorado
Oh, Owen, really?
Thank you so much.
owen shroyer
Yeah, we're going to send your kids.
We're going to send your kids a little gift.
So just send your name and address to that media, support at media.win.
And I'm going to send your kids a little gift for the kids.
marissa in colorado
That will mean the world to them because you're a part of our day every day.
I'm not joking.
Like we put you on every single day while we're doing school and they're learning about like what the world and your opinion is very close to ours.
Like everything you say, honestly, it's what we believe.
And I'm so proud of you.
owen shroyer
Well, the good news is, the good news is, I think that the Owen report is going to be way more family friendly than, let's say, the war room got at times.
Okay.
marissa in colorado
Right.
owen shroyer
So it's going to be way more family friendly.
The raunchy stuff, the raunchy stuff we'll save for Owen Troyer Live at night.
No, the Owen report is going to be way more family friendly, way more, you know, mainstream, consumable, and presentable.
But no, just send that email.
I'm going to send your kids a little special gift.
All right.
marissa in colorado
I will.
I really appreciate that, Owen.
Don't ever give up.
And I'm so proud of you for doing this.
I'm so excited.
And my birthday is October 8th.
This is the greatest birthday present ever.
Like, I'm so excited for you.
owen shroyer
See, God's just taking care of things left and right today, man.
It's crazy.
unidentified
All right.
owen shroyer
That's a great call.
We're going to have a little special gift for the kids.
I love that.
All right.
Next caller.
What's your name?
Where are you from?
unidentified
Hey, Nick in Arizona.
owen shroyer
All right, Nick, go ahead.
unidentified
Yeah.
Hey, are you going to start doing more like election coverage?
owen shroyer
How do you mean?
unidentified
It just seemed like that was something InfoWars always seems to kind of hover over, but then not really dive into.
owen shroyer
Well, I mean, the election is, I mean, the election only happens.
I mean, how can I do election coverage?
there's no election.
So, I mean, I, I intend to do election coverage and.
unidentified
Well, like we live in Maricopa County and Maricopa County is really messed up.
And we've asked for help for months and months, years and years, and everybody turns their back on us.
But we've got evidence that everybody's ignoring.
And we truly need help because you're a JSTIC stair and we fought for the same reason you did because we want to keep our rights.
owen shroyer
So here's what, here's how this is going to go.
Okay, I understand.
I understand now.
So this is how it's going to go with that.
You're on the show right now.
So whenever you want to bring something like that to the air, that's how you do it is you call in.
unidentified
Our paper ballots, Owen, our paper ballots have hidden extra votes.
There's something going on with them.
And I sincerely need help.
I was part of the Cary Lake trial.
I'm not getting help from anybody in Arizona.
I've been banging for months and months and months.
I need help.
owen shroyer
Yeah, you got big problems.
unidentified
Arizona needs help.
owen shroyer
Yeah, you gotta do it.
unidentified
Our paper ballots, the current paper ballots that we're going to go to that we're pitching, they're junk.
I don't want to say anything wrong or illegal, but we need real help and President Trump and we need somebody actually telling him what's going on because he's clearly bubble-wrapped.
owen shroyer
Well, there's no doubt Maricopa County has some serious problems.
We've watched them steal, I don't know how many elections in the last two cycles.
unidentified
Five, I took the tabulator video.
My tabulator video went with Cary Lake to Supreme Court.
We just keep getting kicked around because nobody's looking at real evidence.
My ballot still physically exists.
My spoiled 19 ballot.
I was the one that found the 19-inch ballots in the 20-inch ballots.
It's on record.
I've got affidavits.
They've got other people like lawyers that saw me in the room finding them.
Nobody's listening to the truth and I need help.
owen shroyer
Yeah.
No, I get it.
I get the frustration.
They stole it in 2020.
They stole it in 2022.
They probably stole a couple in 2024 as well.
unidentified
So I'm not talking about, I'm talking about I literally physically have the ballot that the whole world is not wanting to look at.
Like every single county destroyed their ballots, right?
Mine still exists.
They printed them inside the vote center when my feet were standing inside the vote center.
I've got documentation.
I've got the ballot.
I need help.
owen shroyer
Well, to answer your question, yeah, we'll be covering elections.
And on election night, we'll be doing election coverage across the board.
And when we catch them in real time doing shenanigans, we'll call it out when they steal elections, you know, weeks after the election night.
We'll call it out just like we've done before.
You know, you're kind of stuck in a situation where because these elections are over with, most people involved in politics just don't care.
Now, unfortunately, the Trump administration talks a lot about securing elections.
And I do think the executive order that Trump signed a few months ago should do a lot of work for good.
But the problem is at the local level is where the corruption happens.
It's at the local level.
In fact, the Republicans just lost a special election in Iowa.
Now, how many people heard about that?
Probably nobody because they didn't even do any effort.
The Republicans didn't even, Trump didn't even say anything about it in Iowa.
They just flipped a seat in Iowa, a very consequential election.
So yeah, we'll be doing a lot more election coverage.
It'll be easier for me to do that.
I had that in my news stack for two weeks.
I had that in my news stack at Infowars, and I could never get to it.
You understand?
I could never get to it because there was always something else, somebody else telling me what to do and say.
So I would have covered that.
I couldn't.
Now I will be able to.
So to answer your question, I will be able to.
Specifically on your issue with Maricopa County, maybe I can address that at a different date.
If you post at me on X, maybe I'll be able to find it with all the other stuff.
I put out the email for inquiries.
You can send it there.
But yeah, to answer your question, I will be doing more election coverage because I'll be able to decide what I'm going to cover.
I would have covered these things a while ago, but it's, you know, when you're at a network, sometimes you don't have all the control over the time.
All right.
Thank you for the call.
Next caller, what's your name?
Where are you from?
unidentified
Hey, it's Chief Trumpster calling in.
How are you doing?
owen shroyer
Chief Trumpster?
unidentified
Yeah.
owen shroyer
You don't call in.
Wow, this is a distinct honor.
unidentified
No, no, it's not receipt to you.
And I really want to thank you so much for being one of the OGs, for regret putting me actually.
You're one of the first people I saw online from the Trillix, the college status debates and all that.
Oh, sure.
owen shroyer
Yep.
unidentified
Yeah.
owen shroyer
That's awesome.
unidentified
But no, but I mean, in terms of, I guess, the schedule of the network, I think it's a very exciting opportunity for you.
It seems to give a lot of the opportunity to really go and branch out, even get bigger than now.
And I really do a lot with that.
So I really want to root for you.
I really hope everybody here donates to you and supports you in any way they possibly can.
You definitely are a humongous voice to the right wing.
And you've spoken out on the right issues.
You've definitely put yourself out there and done so much for the right wing for all these years.
I always want to thank you so much, one of the very few voices on the line for really changing things and being a fighter for truth.
So I just want to thank you so much.
owen shroyer
Well, I appreciate that.
And, you know, that is what I aim to be.
And as far as growing and everything, and it's kind of counterintuitive because there's no doubt that the InfoWars network, as far as working at a news network, which, you know, InfoWars is now.
I don't know if you want to argue it became that or I don't know, but I mean, it is.
I wear InfoWars on the front of the jersey.
And so, you know, I don't, I don't do that.
You know, I consider that with everything I do.
You know, every action I take, it's like a professional player, a professional ball player who plays for a team.
It's like, you know, you've got to, you recognize you're representing more than just yourself.
You're representing an entire team.
You're representing an organization.
There's other players.
So for, you know, for years, I've always considered that.
I've always considered that I'm representing something more than me.
I'm representing an entire team of people, an entire audience of people.
And so now that I don't feel that way, I think I'll have a lot more space to say and cover different things.
So it's counterintuitive.
I'm not saying that I was ever like, I mean, obviously I was censored at InfoWars.
Obviously, I was top five most censored people in the world working at InfoWars.
And obviously, there's a little influence from Alex.
For the most part, he let me do what I want.
But, you know, there's, you know, it's, you, you got him lurking in the background, as everybody knows.
But I feel that now I don't have to consider that stuff.
So it was like, if there was something, and if there was something I wanted to do or wanted to say, I could say, well, I'm going to be cautious because this could affect InfoWars this way, or this could affect others at InfoWars that way, or whatever.
So I don't have to think about that anymore.
And in that regard, it's kind of a relief.
I mean, let me tell you, it's definitely more of a relief.
But yeah, when you work at a network, you do have to consider it's bigger than you.
It's about more than just you.
You're representing an entire team of people.
And so now I get to wear my own name on the front of the jersey.
So yeah, I will definitely, I think, be able to kind of expand as far as what you see and hear from me.
unidentified
Yeah, I think somewhere creative freedom.
You'll be able to go down any venture you want.
And, you know, being a partner is a big thing, of course, really awesome, but also on downsides of that, there's always, you know, types of things that we consider and all that.
But now you have the freedom to really go and branch out, do your own thing.
And I think it's a very positive step for you.
And I think you'll do fantastic there.
And I know you're mentioning advertisers.
I definitely have a few I can DM you or reach out to you later on about.
owen shroyer
Yeah, that'd be great.
Yeah, you should have access to my DMs, correct?
Yeah, yeah, you can send those.
You can send those to my DMs, which I mean, I'm going to need some time.
I'm overwhelmed tonight.
But you can send those to my DMs or if you want to send it to the email.
I know I've already gotten some emails, support at media.when.
Either one is good.
And I'll definitely be reaching out to you this week.
unidentified
Yeah.
Well, hey, I just wanted to, again, thank you for being a really big voice for truth online and doing so much for moving the right wing in the right direction.
And, you know, I always remember the college debates and all the, you know, college, you know, well, maybe there'll be more.
owen shroyer
Maybe there'll be more.
You know, now that I'm a free man now.
I'm a free man.
unidentified
Yeah.
Exactly.
owen shroyer
So I think there'll be some more opportunities and I don't have to prioritize.
You know, I don't have to prioritize Alex and Infowars anymore.
So yeah, there'll be more opportunities.
I think I'll do a lot more stuff.
But man, I really appreciate that.
And let me just say, too, like, again, for the same reasons, and I don't want, you know, I'm trying to make sure this is not in a negative context here.
But I mean, I've not been able to collab or do a bunch of stuff because I've always just prioritized InfoWars first.
And I've never wanted to step on a, on a, on a loose tile that could fall out.
I've never wanted to step on a branch that could fall out because I've always wanted to keep things, you know, 100% for Infowars.
And so now I think, yeah, I think I'll be able to take advantage of a lot of opportunities I've passed on before.
I'm looking forward to some of that for sure.
And there'll probably be a lot more collabs that I can do.
But I get to, you know, I just, you're going to, I think the best way to put it now is you're going to see Owen Schroyer in a way that you've always kind of known, you've always kind of felt and maybe seen it in passing.
But now you get it.
Now you're going to be able to see it 24-7.
Now you're going to be able to see me for who I truly am, who I truly want to be, what I truly want to be doing.
And again, I'm not, that's not some negative thing about everything I was doing at InfoWars.
I'm very proud of all of that work.
I'm not leaving on a negative note.
That's not what this is about.
But that's how the future is going to be.
And so I hope, you know, I hope this independent version of Owen Schroyer is even better and more powerful than before.
That's my, that's my plan.
And to get, you know, to get you calling into a show, Chief Trumpster, huge account on X, folks.
Give him a follow, Chief Trumpster.
You know, that's just, it's like, yeah, this is the type of stuff that I'd like to be able to do.
Because I think you do some live streams too, don't you?
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
I do live streams here and there whenever I can.
Yeah, it's a similar type of stuff with what you're doing.
You got a little commentary and, you know, and all that fun stuff.
owen shroyer
Yeah.
Well, we'll definitely be in touch.
We'll definitely be in touch.
So yeah, just shoot me a DM or an email and I'll respond.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah, of course.
And we're all rooting for you here.
Have a good night.
All right.
owen shroyer
Thank you, brother.
Appreciate that.
Very kind.
Nothing but kindness.
Nothing but love.
Can you feel the love tonight?
Let me play a little line, King for you.
Next caller, what's your name?
Where you from?
unidentified
Hey, Owen, this is Keaton from Arizona.
owen shroyer
What's up, Keaton?
unidentified
Yeah.
Hey, what's up, brother?
Yeah, man.
When I heard the news, I was super sad.
You know, you and Alex totally kill it.
Easily the best political analysis you can get.
But that being said, I think you're absolutely going to kill it because, like you said, you are totally ahead of the curve.
One of the best political minds in America, in my opinion.
And I'm not just saying that to blow smoke up your butt.
It's true.
And I'm sorry to hear that happened.
That really sucks, man.
I know what it's like to be disappointed by people you look up to.
And it really sucks, but I know that Alex loves you and he's going through his own stuff.
And, you know, it sucks, but just remember the good times and don't be nervous about the future because you will be successful 110%.
And I know that you're a Christian and that God will get you through this because you are telling the truth and bringing the light to the dark and exposing the truth.
So, so you got this, man.
You got this.
And you have a really loyal fan base.
And I really doubt that you'll lose any, even if it takes you a while to get set up.
Because, like I said, you're one of the top political minds in America.
And, you know, I'm going to school for political science.
You're a major inspiration to me.
I get a lot of my analysis from you.
So just keep on rocking, man.
You're awesome.
Just keep going.
owen shroyer
You said you're in school?
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
I'm in school for political science.
owen shroyer
Oh, okay.
You're at state university?
unidentified
Right now I'm in community college, but I get my associate's degree next year.
And then I hope to go on to ASU to study political science.
owen shroyer
Is that in the Cronkite school?
unidentified
I really don't know, to be quite honest with you.
owen shroyer
I know that Cronkite School is a lot of their political and media stuff.
I don't know if they have the political science.
I know most of their media stuff is in there because I was looking at that.
I ended up going to the Missouri University of Missouri, Mizzou Journalism School.
But I know the Cronkite, Walter Cronkite School at ASU is a big one too.
Well, you know, did you go right to community college out of high school?
unidentified
No, no, I'm 28.
I went, unfortunately, I was like living a pretty bad life.
You know, I don't really want to get into it.
But, you know, thank God I got out of that and went into the military, but I had some serious medical problems and got out and then didn't go back to school for like four years.
But I'm back in now.
And this is why it's so crazy because you and Alex are the ones that made me want to do it.
I was like, I want to take down the globalists, man.
Like, this is so real, what they're saying.
No one else is saying it.
This is so nuts.
So that's why it's almost like Trump and Elon in a way.
owen shroyer
Now, obviously, it's not your political colors show in the classroom.
unidentified
I let them show.
And, you know, I'm an Orthodox Christian, so I'm also not afraid to tell them my religious views as well.
owen shroyer
And I mean, Arizona is pretty red, but I don't know.
You get into a university, a community college, I don't know.
unidentified
Oh, well, and I'm sure with my, since I'm taking political science, I'm sure the CIA boys will be in the classrooms listening and watching too.
So it could be quite a devilish game to play.
And so sometimes I do rethink it.
And, but like I said, man, you guys are a huge inspiration.
And I'm like, if Owen can go to prison for this country and you guys go through the law fair, I mean, what it's nothing for me to have to be surrounded by dumb liberals for a couple years.
owen shroyer
Well, I will tell you, you know, and look, the truth is for me, you know, I have family that came from military, grandparents in the military.
They did tours.
So, you know, I look at what I'm doing as nothing, right?
I mean, if this is, if I'm able to, you know, let's say save the country politically or have a political revolution by talking, then that's like the greatest thing you can do.
I'd rather not have to be in a physical confrontation, right?
So, I mean, if we can do it this way, if I if I have to serve 60 days to save America, that's like, yeah, I'll do it.
I'll do that if I have to.
You know, it's not pleasant.
Yeah, I will say, though, it's funny you bring up the community college thing.
You know, one of the biggest scams that the universities run is they trick you into thinking you have to go to college, like right out of the gates, and you have to do the, you have to do the ACT and have all the grades and everything and then apply for college and get in your freshman year.
It's one of the biggest scams out there because most, I would say for most people, you're better off saving your money and going to a community college.
You'll save so much money.
You'll get better grades.
And whenever you're ready to transfer, if you get your associates or you spend two years, every single college is going to accept you.
I mean, they don't even care about your grades anymore.
They're going to accept you.
They want your money.
They want you in the tuition factor.
So it's amazing how people don't get that message enough.
So I'm going to go ahead and promote that message.
Do not hesitate to go to community college.
If you still want to get the big college experience, just go to the closest community college to the big university that you want to party at, okay?
Go to the games, whatever.
You'll save money.
You'll get better grades.
And if you end up wanting to go there in two years, if you still believe that, then they will accept you.
They always accept you.
I've never seen a case where they didn't accept a guy who does well in community college for two years.
So you never hear anybody talk about that.
It's one of the biggest scams.
You don't need to go to the university your first two years.
You just don't.
You can get the same education at a community college for a tenth of the price.
And then when you apply, they're going to accept you and you can go into a certain specific study if you still want to.
You may not want to anymore, which is another factor.
So that's really, I would say, is the best course actually for most people to go.
But they kind of, you know, they don't preach that to you and they kind of use this social pressure or stigma like it's a bad thing.
No, it's actually the smartest move.
I appreciate your call.
And God bless and Godspeed, buddy.
I hope I hear from you again.
Next caller, what's your name?
Where you're from?
jordan in chicago
Hey, Jordan Freemason.
I'm from Chicago.
owen shroyer
All right, Jordan.
Go ahead.
jordan in chicago
Hey, Owen, longtime fan.
I'm just going to ask you, who's going to destroy the cucks now over at InfoWars?
owen shroyer
I don't know.
It's not my problem anymore.
I cannot.
Not my problem.
jordan in chicago
Hey, so I had a question actually about something that that old drunk boss of yours did to you.
owen shroyer
Okay.
jordan in chicago
When you were doing the Sandy Hook bit there, was it him who told you you had to bring it up and tried to make you the fall guy there?
owen shroyer
Well, this all came out in court, so it's not like I'm breaking any news here, but I guess you would have to have read all the documents.
jordan in chicago
Yeah, the definitions with Bill Ogden.
owen shroyer
And actually, I kind of was revisiting this a couple days ago because I think somebody else had some legal thing that they were asking me about.
The two instances where I covered that, both times those stories were brought to me.
So, no, I did not decide to cover those things.
They were brought to me to cover.
jordan in chicago
Sounds like he made you do it.
owen shroyer
No, that's not accurate.
No, no, no, no.
That's not accurate either.
Now, I don't recall the exact transaction because you have to understand, I was still new.
I was still the new guy on the block at the time.
And so when I'm told to cover a story, I do it.
I'm a new guy.
And so, yeah, I did it.
I don't remember the transaction or how, you know, who brought it to me or why or who said it.
But no, I do know that, yeah, those were not stories I chose to cover.
Those are stories that were brought to me to cover.
jordan in chicago
I know it just sounded fishy that that's when the statute of limitations, you know, it had already expired.
Then he kind of has the new guy do it.
It always felt like he was kind of throwing you under the bus there.
owen shroyer
Yeah, I mean, it never felt that way.
I think, though, you have to understand, and I, and, you know, I tried to explain this earlier, and I can now too, but it may be a little more detailed.
Like, you have to understand, folks, that the Info War, as Info Wars, as a concept, as a, let's say, intellectual theory, it's not an empty word.
It's serious.
Alex seriously means that.
And the reason why, I mean, look, I always compare it to the Last Dance documentary because it's just true.
You know, Alex is like Michael Jordan.
And so unless you are a true believer and unless you have the true vision and unless you're willing to do whatever he wants you to do, you know, you're going to hate it.
You don't want to play for the Bulls.
You don't want to work for Alex Jones.
So unless you're willing to accept that mission and know, you know, at InfoWars, it's okay.
You're going into battle.
Now, I'm not comparing myself to anybody that's done tours.
Let's just be clear.
But like Wednesday, and you may have missed this, but I said this earlier.
So I'll kind of use this as an example.
On Wednesday, I don't know if you were paying attention, but we basically broke the story of the trans shooter.
We did that.
I would say with 98% confidence that if we don't do that, you probably today don't know it was a trans individual, don't know the identity, don't see the manifestos, the videos, none of it.
You probably don't have any of that without InfoWars.
I would say 98% true.
That's the case.
Now, we knew when we got that exclusive at about 10 o'clock or 9 o'clock before the show, Alex wasn't in the studio.
I was, but I talked to Alex.
He said we got the exclusive.
And, you know, I've already been through this.
There's nothing good that comes out of us covering these things.
Never.
Never has been.
Not one time.
I get burned every single time.
And I've been censored because of it.
I've been sued because of it.
There's a good chance they're going to hit me like Jones in another case just like that that I was never allowed to talk about.
I was always told, never talk about it.
So I'll talk about it now.
Yeah, they're trying to Jones me right now.
They could hit me for $10 billion that I don't have.
So I'm in a legal defense for that.
Totally, totally illegitimate case against me.
Total EBS.
We're trying to get it dismissed.
It's not a cheap legal battle.
I'm funding it all.
And I'm funding it all by myself, by the way.
I've had to fund the whole thing myself.
It's not fun for a story that I didn't want to cover.
Wasn't even on my show.
And I get sued for it, but whatever.
So Wednesday comes along, it's like, all right, everyone knows we're going to get burned.
If we break this story, we're going to get burned.
And I said, fine, I'm getting in the co-pilot seat in the Millennium Falcon with Alex Jones again, and we're going to take down another Death Star.
And we're going to do it.
And I know I'm going to ride into the fire with Alex, and I'm going to get burned.
But all right, let's go one more time.
So we freaking did it.
And what happens?
Before I'm even off air, multiple headlines.
Owen Schroer celebrates mass shooting.
Owen Schroyer celebrates dead kids.
unidentified
Total lie.
owen shroyer
Totally illegitimate.
And yes, for the people that reported that, I will be suing you too.
I'll go ahead and announce that.
Yeah, you're going to be sued.
unidentified
Okay?
owen shroyer
So that's how that works.
But I knew that.
I said, all right, fine.
So it's like, that was my last dance.
And then the next day, I'm hosting the show.
I got a great show.
I got three hours of content.
And then it's just some crazy thing with Alex interrupting again.
And it's just a whole just, and I just was done.
I was like, so even after that, even after I go into battle again, even after I get burned again, and I still can't even do my show the next day without dealing with it.
So it's just like, all right, whatever.
But I didn't want any of this to be public.
I wasn't going to talk about any of this.
You notice I've been silent.
I haven't said anything.
I was going to stay silent until I talked to Alex in person tomorrow and get it settled and go out positively.
And he said he didn't want to do that.
So that's why I'm doing this tonight.
But see, but that's, that's what I'm saying, folks.
Like some of you might be able to comprehend it.
But like, InfoWars is a real thing.
We, we cross the Rubicon before everyone else.
We climb over the barbed wire and we bleed out and then we let everyone else climb over our dead carcasses.
And so it just happened again on Wednesday.
Is anybody giving us credit?
unidentified
No.
owen shroyer
Does anybody care that we got burned for everybody else to wield the Promethean fire?
No.
That's part of the job.
That's part of the Infowar.
Awesome.
I signed up for it.
I'm all for it.
But then it's like the next day I can't even breathe.
The next day I can't even get the training wheels off my bike.
The next day I can't even go on air without a babysitter.
It's just like, all right.
So I just assume whatever.
Either he's not happy or he thinks he has to babysit me or I just don't want to do this.
But again, I didn't want to go public with any of this.
I was silent on all of this.
I didn't even correct the lie that I had a family emergency.
I wasn't going to do any of this.
I wanted to settle it with Alex in person and then do it all positively on the InfoWars airwaves.
He said he didn't want to have to do that.
So that's what I'm saying.
So I don't want to do that anymore.
Now, I'm not telling you I'm going to censor myself.
I'm not telling you I'm not going to avoid controversial stories, but I'm going to do it my way.
And I'm not going to go into it and get burned time and time and time and time and time and time again because I do it someone else's way in the InfoWar.
And that's all that's happened.
Folks, I have probably spent $300,000 on legal fees since 2018.
$300,000.
That's a house that I can't buy.
And there's not a single, there's not a single lawsuit or legal action that's been taken against me that was something that I decided to do on my own accord.
You understand that?
And I'm still dealing with it today.
Now, I've learned enough over the years of, okay, even though I'm doing it the InfoWars way, okay, I can still avoid certain things happening, but they're always going to burn you someway.
So this time it was negative headlines.
Kyle Serafin got sued for $5 million the next day, folks.
He was sued for $5 million the next day.
Now, of all the people that reported on the shooter, are any of them giving Kyle any credit?
Are any of them rushing to help his legal defense?
I said, hey, what do you need?
I'll get you a lawyer, whatever you need.
I know what it's like.
I'll help you, whatever you need.
unidentified
No.
owen shroyer
So it's the same thing.
We always get burned.
We always climb over the barbed wire, bleed out, and then everyone climbs over us into the victory, into the victory path.
And we're just left there to bleed.
And nobody even cares.
So, hey, that's fine.
That's the job.
And I did it willingly.
And I've been burned and burned and burned and jailed time and time again for it.
Just to feel like I need to be babysitter, whatever.
I just said that's it.
But I wanted, I didn't want to do it like this, but I was left no choice.
So I don't know if that kind of explains what you were getting into, but it's more there.
There's a very heavy cost.
There's a very heavy cost that comes with it.
And so I've paid dearly for that cost.
And, you know, then to be told on the phone that no, don't come in.
We don't need you.
Then, okay, fine.
So that's why I'm doing this here tonight.
So that's where we're at.
I appreciate your call.
Again, I don't want this to come off as like a negative thing, folks.
I'm not trying to be a thorn in Alex's side.
I don't want to be.
I don't want to even, I don't want Alex to ever think of me again.
I don't want to, I have nothing but respect and admiration and appreciation for Alex.
I'm not doing this as a negative thing.
I'm doing this because I have to.
I don't have a platform anymore.
I was told not to come in this week.
So this is the only platform I have.
I can't announce my, where else am I supposed to announce this?
Where else am I supposed to?
This is it.
This is all I have.
I would have loved to do it on Infowars.
I was told not to.
So I don't even want to be a thorn in Alex's side.
I don't want people to say that this is, oh, I'm attacking him or turning.
That's not what this is.
That's not what this is.
And I hope, I truly hope that Alex just moves on.
I just hope Alex just moves on.
I hope he appreciates the work I did and he remembers all the good times and his best co-pilot ever.
But I hope, I just hope he moves on.
I hope he doesn't mention me.
I hope he doesn't think about me.
I don't want to turn this into a thing.
I'm not even, I hope I never have to talk about it again, actually.
I hope this is the last time I talk about it.
So that's that.
All right.
Let's take a couple more calls here.
Remember, folks, if you want to help on the fundraiser, you can go to help.
Excuse me, you can go to owen.help.
I am launching a new news network.
I'm going to relaunch my show, the Owen Report, 3 to 6 p.m. weekdays on October 6th.
That is the soft launch date here.
It could change, but that's what we want to do.
And then if you want any inquiries as far as sponsorships and clients of the Win Network or other inquiries, if you want me to go to your event, speak at your event, whatever, then you can email support at media.win.
Okay, so those are the two things.
Those are the two links for tonight.
Owen.help for the fundraiser.
And then if you want to become a client or a sponsor of the future show, support at media.win.
All right.
Next caller.
What's your name where you're from?
Do we have the next caller?
jordan in chicago
Dan Holmes.
owen shroyer
I'm sorry.
We were breaking up.
Do we have you?
jordan in chicago
Dan Holmes.
owen shroyer
Okay, Dan, go ahead.
jordan in chicago
Hey, I just actually had a question.
Is this going to make a good episode of Knowledge Fight?
owen shroyer
Oh, I'm sure.
Yeah, you guys do.
You guys watch everything I do.
So I'm sure.
jordan in chicago
I mean, you are the one who said you were a puppet on your deposition.
So that was really cool.
owen shroyer
Go ahead, man.
Have it out.
Have your fun.
unidentified
Go ahead.
jordan in chicago
I'm also the last caller.
You morons forgot to hang up on me.
Super professional up.
I'm really looking forward to your show.
unidentified
All right.
owen shroyer
Well, I appreciate that.
I'm sure you mean it too.
Next caller, what's your name where you're from?
kyle in nebraska
Oh, and it's Kyle, your old buddy from Nebraska.
owen shroyer
Hey, Kyle, how are we doing?
kyle in nebraska
Brother, it's been a while, man.
And I'm not going to give any secrets away, but getting into your show is a commitment, kind of like your commitment has been to the country and to your job and to everybody here.
And just wanted to first off to start by saying you're younger than me.
I'm about 40, one of my 42.
And just a huge inspiration to guys, younger, older, your level of integrity and how you've conducted yourself, you know, all this time.
I didn't know you before Infowars, but you rode with me in my pickup, you know, doing deliveries and hotshot stuff here in Nebraska for three hours a day.
owen shroyer
Hell yeah.
kyle in nebraska
You know, and I called into your show.
You and me have probably talked, I'd say eight times in the last several years and ups and downs, prison, all the stuff.
And so anyway, just wanted to start by thanking you for that integrity.
You taught a masterclass in that.
And guys younger and older should be proud to know you and have talked to you.
That's number one.
I just wanted to give a big shout out to the interview that you accepted with Tanya Kalane.
She goes by T-Bird T-Money.
owen shroyer
Oh, yes.
The vaccine, the vaccine victim.
unidentified
Yeah.
kyle in nebraska
Yes, sir.
Yeah, she met.
This is kind of a crazy story.
I just wanted to tell it quick.
We met on X in a vaccine injury space almost two years ago.
And I'm in Nebraska and she's way up there in Canada.
And this isn't to toot my horn, but I've been up to her three times.
Started in November.
I left on November 11th.
And then I went back in February.
And now I've been back again in April.
And I've seen it firsthand.
I've seen what these things do.
I've seen all the injury and all the heartbreak and everything else.
unidentified
And is she doing better?
kyle in nebraska
She's, you know, it's ups and downs.
You know, they, you know, they have this Epstein bar and all the other different, you know, different symptoms and they come and go.
She'll have two good days and then she'll have four days of, you know, happen to be on the on the bed, you know, vertical.
But anyway, I just wanted to tell you, Owen, how appreciative I am for you and Scott to have done that and put her on.
I know she has some technical problems in the beginning, but if I can get her back with you when you get your Wind Network rolling and what you're doing, I'm Kyle likes truth.
Real simple.
Kyle likes truth on X. And if you ever have time and you want to DM me or follow me back or whatever else, love to get her back on with you.
owen shroyer
Yeah.
So let me just, let me address that quickly.
The best way right now, because I'm obviously going to be really inundated here.
The best way right now would be to reach out via email with the email at the bottom of the screen.
Be very specific in your subject line.
Or if you have access to my DMs, I don't know if we've messaged before.
If you do have access there, you can send me a DM there as well.
And just so people understand, this is how it's going to go.
I anticipate that the Owen report is probably never going to have a guest.
Now, you know, never say never, but it's very unlikely the Owen report is ever going to have a guest.
That's going to be for news three hours a day.
So my plan is to do interviews on the side, which will actually open up more availability.
It seems counterintuitive, but it's actually going to give me more availability and flexibility with an interview where I can just do a dedicated show or broadcast to interviewing somebody.
So that would be something I could even do this month, potentially, is to just get her on and talk to her for 10, 20 minutes to just get an update with people.
And then that would be it.
That would just be, that would be a live stream or a live show.
It's just 20 minutes with her.
And so that's kind of how I anticipate interviews in the future is I'll get a guest on with a specific topic.
We'll talk for 20, 30 minutes, whatever.
And that'll just be a separate show.
That'll be a separate episode.
I'll probably call it Owen Schroyer interviews is what I'm thinking for that.
So I'm not going to do much guest stuff on the news broadcast.
I want to do guest interviews on the side.
All of those things will also be on my Rumble and my X, maybe other places, depending on where the future goes.
So that's kind of how I'm looking at that.
But it'll actually give me more flexibility.
It'll actually give me more availability and flexibility to interview people when I don't have to try to work it into my show clock, if that makes sense.
So just send an email out and we can definitely do that.
But I do believe I've talked to, I think we talk in the DM.
So I might be able to just reach out to her too.
kyle in nebraska
Yeah, yeah, that'd be great, Owen.
And I remember it's probably a year and a half ago.
I called you Owen, the tyrant shredder Troyer.
And I remember your response was like, well, I haven't been called that before, but I appreciate it.
Yeah, you mean the world, man.
And I can't thank you enough for what you're doing.
And I have no bad blood with anybody when it comes to Alex or anybody else.
I've been a huge supporter and listener.
And I just can't thank you enough for the way you're handling this like a man.
And you're doing exactly what you should be.
So thanks again.
And hopefully you and me can shake hands someday, look eye to eye.
And if I can help you in any way, I will.
And I know you have that support link there.
And I have no problem retweeting that out tonight yet.
owen shroyer
I appreciate that.
And I'll say one more thing, Kyle.
Thank you for the call.
He says he can't wait to shake my hand.
I have had the privilege to meet a lot of people over the years.
It's been nothing but positive, nothing but positive.
So what I hope, and I would say, you know, right now where I'm standing, things are looking, things are looking very good, I would say, that I'm going to be able to do what I want to do in the future.
I'm not going to get comfortable right now.
But what I would like to do is, you know, I used to do these things.
Alex, he always hated it.
That's fine.
But I, you know, I used to do these things every summer.
I would do a meet and greet, basically.
I just, it wouldn't even be a meet and greet.
Like, I don't even look at it like, oh, I want, you know, people want to meet me.
I just want to have a party with like-minded people.
And yeah, I'll shake your hand and we'll have a good time.
It's not even like, oh, my gosh, let's meet Owen Schroer.
I mean, I'll sign something or whatever.
But no, it's like, hey, let's have a party.
Yeah, let's all get together and eat good food and share good times.
And I used to do it once a summer and I haven't been able to do it.
You know, Alex, he never liked it, but, you know, he let me do it.
But it would cost money for the security and everything else.
So we quit doing that because we lost the security budget.
And so I'm not going to, you know, if I can't guarantee people's safety, I'm not going to do it.
So maybe if this is a, maybe if I get a bunch of money on this, I might just do it this year.
But what I want to do is I want to launch either bring back the summer bat, I called it Summer Fest, either bring back Summer Fest or call it Owens party or something.
But yeah, I'd like to once a year basically just have a party.
I would MC it.
I would DJ it and we would just have fun.
And you can come and meet me, meet other people, maybe meet your next girlfriend or husband or something.
So if this, you know, if this thing really takes off, I mean, folks, here's the deal.
I've I live a very humble life, okay?
I have, I have my social circles, I've got a lot of friends, but you know, I don't take fancy vacations.
I don't, I don't throw or host big events.
You know, I live a pretty humble standard life.
I have my, I have my routine and I stick to it pretty religiously.
But I mean, if this thing takes off and I have, and I have a big budget to spend stuff on, I mean, I'm going to reinvest it in you.
So yeah, if this thing takes off and I can have a big budget, then I'll throw a party.
I mean, maybe I should just throw a party and call it a fundraiser.
I don't know.
But that's one thing I would like to do to get the opportunity to meet people.
Some guys do it on, because I've reached out.
I've talked to people that run like those cruise lines.
So some people have wanted to do a deal where we have like a week-long cruise and, you know, you can meet me and hang out with me on the cruise.
So that's something we could do, but I'm thinking more of like a party.
I mean, let's listen to loud music.
Let's have some adult beverages if you're into that kind of thing.
Let's have a laugh.
You know, let's have a jest.
Let's make a joke.
And let's just get together and clink glasses and shake hands and just have a good time.
So maybe we do that this year.
I would like to launch that maybe next summer, Summerfest 2026 Owens party.
But maybe if this thing does well, maybe we can just fund it and do it in a month.
But yeah, that's something I would like to do.
I would like to at least have one time a year where I can get out there and actually meet you guys and have a good time with you guys.
So that's something definitely I have envisioned for the future.
Glad you brought that up.
All right, next caller.
What's your name?
Where you're from?
Got stage fright.
Next caller, what's your name, where you're from?
unidentified
Hey, Owen.
Just learning now about everything that's kind of going on.
I was always wondering, what's your sentiment towards maybe Chase Geyser and all of this?
Everyone says he's a CIA asset and he's destroying InfoWars.
owen shroyer
Okay.
I'm not going to say anything negative about Chase.
I have had nothing but a positive experience with Chase.
I think we've probably, we've had like two or three times where maybe we had a, let's say, just a professional issue and we addressed it and cleared it in a day.
So, no, I don't think Chase is any of that stuff.
I think Chase is a good person.
He's a great father.
He's a great husband.
I don't know his status right now, to be honest.
I don't even want to get into that.
I don't know what his status is.
But no, Chase actually did nothing.
If anything, Chase probably did nothing but help InfoWars, quite frankly.
I think Chase did a lot to help InfoWars.
Chase may or may not be in a similar boat as I am right now.
I don't know.
But no, I'm not going to have anything negative to say about Chase.
Really, I don't have anything negative to say about anyone at InfoWars.
willie in san diego
I trust that.
I wasn't trying to be disruptive.
I'm blind.
I don't know what boat you're necessarily talking about.
unidentified
So I should have done a bit more research, but I always wanted to kind of get your take on that.
willie in san diego
See if he was a divisive character himself.
owen shroyer
No, no, no.
I think, I mean, look, a lot of people think they want to work at InfoWars and then they learn the hard way.
Okay.
I'll leave it at that.
But no, Chase was not, Chase was not sabotaging anything at all.
I mean, he came in there and had his own way.
And, you know, anytime when you're in media, you're going to ruffle some feathers and you're going to have some friction.
But no, Chase was not a divisive figure.
He was not in there to do anything negative.
I never saw any of that.
If anything, he was, I mean, no, not, he was definitely a positive.
I think bottom line, Chase was definitely a positive.
I don't know his status right now.
I don't know.
I don't know if he's even still with InfoWars.
I don't know.
So I don't know.
Maybe time will tell or that'll be addressed.
I don't know.
unidentified
Hey, understood, Owen.
Thank you.
Good luck.
Best wishes.
And R.I.P. Jamie.
Thank you for everything.
owen shroyer
Yeah.
Yeah.
God bless.
Thank you for that.
All right.
Next caller.
What's your name?
Where are you from?
unidentified
Dave, New York, brother.
owen shroyer
Go ahead.
unidentified
Thank you.
owen shroyer
Yep.
You're on the air.
Go ahead.
unidentified
Oh, Owen.
Is this Owen?
owen shroyer
Yes, sir.
unidentified
What's up, Owen?
How you doing, brother?
owen shroyer
I'm good, man.
I'm good.
Big news tonight.
unidentified
Yeah, right on, man.
So, two things.
Are you going to still do segments with Jesse Peterson?
owen shroyer
Yeah, I'll probably still talk to Jesse.
Yeah.
Yeah, I don't see why.
unidentified
That's cool.
But because you were saying you weren't doing stuff live on air, man, that would be like a great, you know, I used to do like a weekly segment with him.
owen shroyer
Oh, you're talking about the interviews.
unidentified
Yeah, well, you should do like segments and stuff.
Like with people.
owen shroyer
Well, so, yeah, okay.
Well, as I was playing, I don't know if you heard it, but basically, what I'm my program vision is the Owen report will be news three hours a day.
I'm not going to do any guests on the Owen report.
I mean, there might be times where it might be a necessity, but that's not the plan.
The plan is for me to do the Owen report and cover news.
I will do interviews on the side and I'll interview somebody and that'll be like a 20, 30-minute episode that those will get, those will get uploaded separately from the show.
So really, there's going to be probably more content than ever, but it's going to be very, it's going to be very targeted.
So if you like my interviews, then you can just go find my interviews.
If you like my news coverage, then you can just go find my news coverage.
If you like me off the chain at night, then you can just go follow me off the chain at night.
So we're going to be very, there's going to be more content and it's going to be easier for you to consume whatever it is you like best from me.
unidentified
Cool.
And also, you said that, you know, you're 36 years old.
You're not going to protest.
Come on, man.
You're 36.
You're young.
Stop with the stuff.
You got to get out there.
You were the best in the country, bro.
Like, come on, man.
owen shroyer
Come on, man.
This is like Brett Farm on the Vikings ruining the NFC championship game.
unidentified
Stop.
Bro, come on.
Listen, you only have limited videos too, like on YouTube and things like that.
You got to get out there.
owen shroyer
I was banned on YouTube.
unidentified
I was banned on YouTube.
Put them on Rumble.
We need to find a new avenue.
And I think Rumble is a great one because they don't really get rid of the content.
owen shroyer
Here's the problem.
I've had, I mean, it's like, how do I say this?
I can do all of that.
I just don't have, I don't have the budget to do all of that.
Here's an example.
Here's an example.
It was probably like 2021 or 22.
We brought in a guy who was supposed to be basically my guy.
Okay.
And he was going to be my guy to do exactly what it is you're talking about, to kind of reintroduce some of these old clips, clip a lot of stuff over the years from me or during the show.
But like, he was like my guy.
Like he was my guy to give orders and commands.
unidentified
Editor, personal editor.
owen shroyer
Like a personal editor that wouldn't be, because everybody there works for Alex Jones, right?
And so doing something for me is like, I'll be lucky if you can.
But there's a big crew.
And so, so I can get stuff done.
Within two weeks, I had no control over him.
Within two weeks, he was working for everybody else but me because I was never a priority.
A lot of the stuff happened with Chase, even because I was never a priority there.
And Alex always was the priority.
And that's that's fine.
It's his company.
I'm not, that's not a complaint.
But my point is, if I have success, I think I will.
I think we're going to have a lot of backing.
I'm really excited.
I think other people are.
You know, I mean, if I, dude, if I had half the budget that Alex had, I can't even imagine, honestly.
I mean, I'm just going to put it like that.
Before they took all of this stuff, you know, he got done dirty.
There's no doubt.
I mean, he's the victim of a crime.
He was the one that was defamed.
He's the one that's being having his amendments, his rights violated.
So there's no doubt about that.
But, man, I just feel like if I had half the budget that Alex had access to, I can't even imagine.
And I mean, look at all the good stuff InfoWars did before they hit him with that lawsuit, you know?
unidentified
So, yeah, but Alex Stein is doing what you were used to do, and he's pretty good at it.
But like, you were like when you came into the city on that women's march, bro, or you were in the tank and battle tank.
That was sick, man.
owen shroyer
Yeah.
unidentified
Yeah.
So we need more of that.
Try to get out there more, you know, get out in the public.
I saw actually Jesse Peterson was just out.
owen shroyer
Well, you know what to do.
You know what to do.
If I do that, I don't mind doing that, but it's like, okay, I have to hire a cameraman.
I have to hire an editor and I have to hire a security guard.
You know, I mean, that's.
unidentified
You'll get there.
You're going to get there.
Just so there you go.
All right.
We're talking strategy here, man.
I know.
We're talking strategy.
owen shroyer
All right.
So you want, you want, you want the old gray beard Tom Brady under center in the year 2027.
unidentified
That's lame.
You're 36 years old, bro.
You can do this forever.
There's no limitations and there's no discussion about just get out there and do what you do.
Great.
We want to see that content because it moves the needle when you're challenging idiots and brainwashed people and calling them out on it to their face makes gives leverage to other people to do the same.
You know, like that's how I started actually.
I mean, I guess you've been an influence, you know, a couple years older, but man, I'm telling you, I go every day, I challenge people to their face on the truth.
And that's it.
So, so stay the course with that, man.
Try to get out tomorrow.
We will.
owen shroyer
I don't know if it'll ever be.
Yeah, thank you.
I appreciate that.
It's look, I just don't want to sit here and give you false hope or tell you I'm going to do something I'm not.
Okay.
You understand?
So, so I don't anticipate I'm, I don't anticipate that'll never happen again.
Uh, I just don't think that's going to be the thrust of what it is I'm trying to do.
But I'm sure it'll happen.
You know, I'm sure it'll happen.
In fact, I've just accepted a speaking event in South Carolina coming up mid-September.
So if I have some extra funding or an extra day there, I don't know if I will.
But like, that's the kind of thing when I take these speaking gigs from here on out, if I have the budget, from here on out, when I take these speaking gigs, then I'll take a cameraman, an editor, you know, maybe a security guard or something, and I'll go out and do that again.
So, yeah, we'll get there.
We'll definitely get there.
So, I will, you know, I'm going to have to ask for some patience in this transitory period, but I think we'll get there.
I think we'll get where we need to be.
And just the overwhelming amount of support just in, you know, the three hours that I've been, that I've made this announcement in has been very, very, very, very positive.
And, you know, I think it points, it points in a positive direction.
So, so that's that's really great.
Next caller, what's your name?
Where are you from?
unidentified
Hi, this is Matt Porter from West Virginia.
owen shroyer
All right, Matt, go ahead.
unidentified
This is, I was just wanting to say, is this Owen?
owen shroyer
Yes, you're on the air right now.
unidentified
All right, sounds good.
Hey, I just want to say thank you so much for, I was trying to catch her live while I called you, but just want to say thanks for all the years and everything.
This is awesome that you're going to be on your own.
Now, with this new news report here, does that mean that you're not going to be if it's just the news?
And I understand why you want to just bring the news to people, but is it going to be like, are you going to, you know, hide away from stuff or anything?
Or is it just going to be like the local news?
owen shroyer
Or no.
No, I think if I'm your concern, is that I'm going to narrow my vision and try to only serve you the same thing every day.
Is that what you're concerned about?
unidentified
No, more or less, just I don't want you to stray away from telling the truth.
And I know I'm watching your beginning.
owen shroyer
No.
unidentified
And, you know, if it's the, if you're just talking the normal news, then, I mean, how, how could you, you know?
owen shroyer
Well, I'll tell you, well, first, I'll say this.
To answer that question, you'll have to wait and see.
Okay.
But you will not be let down.
Okay.
You will not be let down.
I promise you, you will not be let down.
It's not, we're not going to.
unidentified
Really exciting.
I love your takes.
I love the way you present yourself, the way you speak, everything about it.
owen shroyer
Yeah, you're not going to be let down.
You're going to get exactly what you're looking for, except you're going to feel a lot more comfortable, let's say, sharing it with friends and family.
unidentified
Good deal.
Have you ever been to West Virginia?
owen shroyer
I don't think I've ever.
I've driven through West Virginia.
I've driven through.
Obviously, the mountains are beautiful, but I don't know if I've ever stopped or stayed there.
unidentified
Oh, I'll tell you what, since once you get off the ground and everything's going, Bridge Day, Fayetteville, West Virginia would be a great opportunity for you to come and just visit the state.
owen shroyer
Well, maybe we'll do more traveling stuff now that it's easier for me to do that.
Especially if I can get a situation where I can just take my show on the road, then that is definitely something we can facilitate.
But yeah, I appreciate that.
No, I wouldn't be concerned.
If you think that I would just say it like this: if you like my content and you like everything I've done till now, you're only going to like the future more.
You're only going to like the next version of Owen Schroyer even more, which will be the same version, just free.
Just my own man.
So you'll like it even better.
All right, next caller.
What's your name?
Where are you from?
unidentified
Hey, my name is Jeremy.
I'm from Arlington, Virginia.
owen shroyer
All right, Jeremy, what's up?
unidentified
Hey, what?
Is this Owen Shroyer?
owen shroyer
Yeah, I'm sorry.
Let me reiterate this.
When I answer the call, you are on the air.
So, anybody about to call in?
unidentified
Okay.
owen shroyer
Yeah.
unidentified
My bad.
Yeah.
There's no more.
Yeah.
Okay.
There's no more screening.
owen shroyer
Not for this show.
Not yet.
We are just aired alive, brother.
So yeah, you're on the air.
unidentified
Okay.
Well, wow.
Yeah.
I've been waiting all night to get on, but hey, long time listener, first-time caller, I'll say this.
You have secretly become my favorite InfoWars host in the past month and a half or so.
And I think it started with the whole Israel thing.
But what I'm saying here is I recently lost my job of 15 years within the past month and a half.
And I worked at a grocery store for a long time, right?
So they kind of kicked me out on the same sort of guidelines that you're talking about.
You know, I felt loyal to the company.
I was in the trenches every day working their online department.
And yeah, so, you know, I just want to let you know, first things first, other opportunities open themselves.
I recently just got hired working for an auction company with a close friend.
So things do open up.
owen shroyer
Well, that's an interesting world.
Talk about a change of venue.
unidentified
Yeah, right.
Talk about a change of venue.
It's an entire change of scenery.
So now I'm just, you know, taking pictures of stuff and putting it up online and doing whatever.
Work at my own pace.
I don't have the corporate boot up my ass, which is nice.
Right?
So, right.
So I just want to let you know, you know, you're going to do fine, dude.
One way or another, it's going to be awesome.
I can't wait to see the new show.
I will have a recommendation.
The InfoWars broadcast, I used to listen to, you know, four hours of Jones and then, you know, three hours of you, but usually in my pocket.
And the Rumble app, it's a very, I don't know if anybody experiences this, but it glitches up a lot.
owen shroyer
Yeah.
unidentified
It freezes and, you know, you got to reset it.
Sometimes you have to start the whole new phone over and everything.
But so maybe like in the corner, maybe have the time stamp, you know, like live time.
owen shroyer
Yeah, well, I'm going to be implementing stuff like that.
I don't know if we're going to be adding too many bugs.
I would like to at some point implement like a news ticker.
So we could probably have a clock on that too.
But I'd like to have a news ticker on the bottom of my feed.
We're going to go back to like, I mean, we're going to go back to really a lot of traditional broadcasting customs.
So like, you know, stuff like, all right, we're back live here on this Monday, September 1st.
It's 9:18 p.m.
Central.
And then, you know, this we're going to get in a lot of more traditional broadcast stuff.
So we'll mention that.
But, you know, the one thing I am curious, the one thing I'm curious about is going to be the medium in which people consume.
What is your favorite way to consume my show?
unidentified
So I would always tune in at, you know, 4 p.m. Eastern at the Rumble app.
Honestly, on the show.
owen shroyer
So you're listening to InfoWars on Rumble, in other words.
unidentified
Yeah, there's like three or four different InfoWars streams on Rumble.
And I mean, you know, if one doesn't work, you know, find the other one.
But yeah.
owen shroyer
So what I want to do, so my goal is I ask that because, you know, InfoWars is so banned everywhere.
So my show on InfoWars is like, you know, so many platforms have just been crossed off the list.
We are not even allowed there.
Like people keep bringing up Twitch.
I don't know.
I don't know the situation with Twitch.
I've never been on Twitch.
I guess I could probably get on there and be fine.
I just don't know.
But really what I'd like to do, and this is going to be part of the process for a month.
And I'll kind of hit the reset button after this call, folks, to just give you an update of what's going on here.
Sorry to be redundant for the people that have been tuned in all night, but I want to just tell people what we're doing here tonight.
So, what I'd like is my plan is at least the video is going to be on Rumble and on X. But really, I'd like to, I'd like to really get a lot of people to tune in.
I don't think we'll be able to do it live, but the audio is going to be uploaded on Spotify, itunes, SoundCloud, whatever, all the other different places where you can just listen.
unidentified
Oh, and let me interrupt you real quick.
Honestly, if it's live and if it's able to be on YouTube, YouTube is very accessible.
owen shroyer
I'm not touching that tonight.
I'll deal with that later.
Let's not go there.
Let's not go there tonight.
unidentified
Right.
So, here, let me get off the airlines real quick.
I want to say I did make a purchase to InfoWars before last Wednesday, and it finally came in.
I got my gay frog, and I shared pictures with my parents.
They don't really like the gay frog, but I also got a bottle of the methylene blue.
So, I was wondering, did you ever take the methylene blue?
And if you did, did you ever, you know, did it work for you?
owen shroyer
So, I did try it for a couple days.
I did not like it.
I don't know if I could say I'm anti-methylene blue, but I don't use it myself.
A lot of most people say it's great.
Most people have a positive experience with it.
You know, when you hear Alex talk about, you know, there might be one person, that's probably me.
I might be the one person.
I did not like the experience.
And so, no, it was not a good thing for me.
And, and that's fine.
It might be great for other people.
I don't know.
But that's why I don't really talk about it or recommend it much because it was not good for me.
So, I would just say do your own research, give it a try for yourself.
It could be great for you.
It was not, I did not like it.
I won't be for now.
I'm not going to be on methylene blue.
I did not like the experience.
unidentified
Well, I'll tell you what.
I had a, I have a testimony as well.
I've done it for about a week.
The first day, I took two different doses of it.
I guess you do feel like that five-hour energy feel, you know, and then the tingling sensation.
It works better the more drops you put in your six ounces of water.
That's another thing.
The less water that you have, the more drops.
It works a lot better.
It turned my pee blue.
I don't know if it did that for you.
owen shroyer
Yeah, that was my final straw.
Like, I didn't need it.
Like, I'm naturally high on life.
I'm naturally high on life.
And I have a pretty good, I mean, my body is a pretty healthy system.
So I don't, you know, I have my system of supplements and everything that I need.
So yeah, it was clearly something I didn't need.
Other people might need it.
Like I said, plenty of people have nothing but positive things to say about it.
So other people, it works great for.
I'm like high on life.
I already have like an overactive like brain or imagination.
Like I can't even shut it down.
So it's like adding more electrochemical activity was like too much for me.
I couldn't, I didn't like it.
And then the blue pee, and I was like, I'm out.
I'm done.
unidentified
Yeah, right.
And exactly.
And then like the first thing is the blue tongue.
kyle in nebraska
You're like, oh, fuck.
unidentified
What do I do with this?
And then you're like, oh, yeah.
And then now my piss is blue.
What am I going to do with the fucking drug test?
But anyway.
owen shroyer
Well, I don't know.
I don't know if that'll really affect a drug test.
I don't know, though.
That's interesting.
tim in seattle
I don't know.
unidentified
So that's what I was thinking.
It might like mask some stuff in your piss.
I don't know.
owen shroyer
See, maybe I don't know.
Do you do a federal drug test?
I had to do federal drug tests.
unidentified
Well, I mean, I am real close to the swamp over here in Arlington, Virginia, but, you know, I might have to do that.
I'll apply for a government job.
And when you get your new show, you know, maybe DM me.
I'm Jay Skunk on the Twitter there.
owen shroyer
Jay Skunk?
Is that a reference to something?
unidentified
Actually, it's a long story.
It goes back to high school.
We were figuring out our spirit animals.
owen shroyer
Oh, boy.
You don't have to say anything else.
That's enough.
We don't need to.
We don't want to know why the skunk is your spirit animal.
Okay.
I think we're going to save you.
unidentified
Let's just say, let's just say 7-Eleven Pizza and Food Bowl was involved.
Yeah.
owen shroyer
Okay.
Yeah.
unidentified
Everybody got it.
owen shroyer
Sounds about right.
unidentified
Except I got stuck with a skunk.
Yeah.
Sounds about it.
Yeah.
owen shroyer
All right.
Well, I appreciate the call.
You know, it's funny.
I don't know.
People say crazy stuff.
You have to learn to just not care or laugh at it.
Like, I see the crazy stuff people say about Alex all the time.
And I'm just like, I just, I just know it's not true.
And so it's funny because it was such an important learning experience, actually, for me.
It was one of the biggest learning experiences I had at InfoWars.
And I'll do a reset right now and tell everybody about the breaking news.
We have a lot of new audience members tonight, so I'll kind of hit the reset button.
But, you know, one of the biggest, one of the most important learning experiences I had at InfoWars was when I would watch people say things about Alex, report things about Alex that I know are not true.
Like, I know, like, I know Alex.
I'm not going to pretend like I'm intimately involved in his personal life, but, you know, I know enough about him and who he is and what he is to know what's real and what's fake.
So, but I would watch people report things on Alex that I know are not true, but yet they would report them with the utmost confidence.
Like, they're 100% confident.
They caught the big Alex Jones conspiracy.
Like, oh, Alex Jones has been replaced because he, you know, got sober and lost a bunch of weight, which by the way, I promote a sober lifestyle.
I'm not saying I'm perfect, but like, that's what I'm saying.
It's like people will say, oh, you do drugs, you do all this stuff.
It's like, dude, I've been drug tested at three different times in my life.
I was drug tested in high school.
I was drug tested again right after college.
And I just finished up with two years of drug testing by the federal government.
Okay.
So I've never tested positive for a single drug in my life.
Okay.
So it's just, it's funny.
So people will say, oh, you know, Owen does cocaine, all this stuff.
It's like, dude, so I see people report this stuff about Alex that I know is not true.
And the learning experience was so important because I learned that when I would see somebody report something about Alex that I know is wrong and they would say it with so much confidence, all of a sudden I lose, they lose all faith and credibility.
And yet they think they're so on to something.
They think it's so right what they're saying about Alex and I just know it's fake.
So the learning experience for me was I never want to do that.
And I'm sure I was probably guilty of it before, but I've learned now it's not even worth it if you're not 100% confident.
Because if you get one thing wrong, and it's really, and it's mostly specific towards personal issues, I think, but for anything.
But it's like, if you're not sure and you know, there's other people that are sure and you're about to go say something that you're not really sure about.
Well, then everybody that is sure about it is going to see you reporting on this and they're going to say, I'm never going to listen to anything that guy says again because he's clearly delusional.
So I learned that about Alex.
News publications, individuals, whatever, they would report something and they'd be 100% confident.
This is the truth.
And I would know it's fake.
And I'd say, I can never trust anything you report ever again.
So that was a, that was maybe the most important learning experience for me was specifically with personal stuff.
Unless I am totally confident on something, I'm very likely not to be reporting on it.
And again, people are concerned.
Well, are you going to be more like conservative in your broadcast style and all this stuff?
It's like, no, no, no, no.
We're going to be even more cutting edge.
We're going to be even more laser focused.
We're going to be even more trusted now.
That was the most important thing, I think, to just watch people assume that they know who Alex is and report something completely wrong and me see it and just be like, wow, you have no idea what you're talking about.
Never listening to you again.
So I've just, I've just now learned from that and say, I will never do that.
I will never mislead you.
All right.
So to just kind of hit the reset button and we'll go back to the phone lines.
Yes, the headline, I am out at InfoWars.
As of tonight, it is now official.
My plan, after I walked out of the show Thursday, that's what happened.
I walked out of the show.
There was no family emergency.
I walked out.
I talked to Alex afterwards.
I said, Alex, I'm done for the week.
Let's talk next week.
I reached out to him today.
We had a phone conversation and I said, Alex, I'd like to have a meeting with you tomorrow morning before your show.
I'd like to meet you in person and let's, you know, let's hash this out.
He said, no, let's just do it over the phone.
I said, okay.
You know, we just talked about some stuff.
And I told him that I wanted to do, I wanted to do this week.
I wanted this to be my last week at InfoWars, but I wanted to be in there.
I wanted to announce it on InfoWars.
I wanted it to be nothing but positive.
I wanted it to look good for him, look good for me.
I didn't want any negativity.
I wanted to shake his hand in the InfoWars studios in front of the InfoWars crew audience.
That's how I wanted to do it.
I was hoping I could do this tomorrow on InfoWars and then just have a positive week out.
And he said, no.
He said he didn't want to do it.
He said he didn't need me.
And don't come in this week.
So that was that.
So that's what led us here tonight.
You know, I've been Not the most happy with the way things had been going at InfoWars recently.
That's why I'd been off air a lot lately.
You know, Alex had been complaining about me a lot.
I'm too negative.
I took a 10-day hiatus and I thought, okay, maybe I'm a little too negative.
I just need to get out for a little bit.
Came back, dealt with the same bull crap.
It reached a head on Thursday after another ride or die moment.
After another, all right, I'm going into the fire with Alex.
I know I'm going to get burned.
And I did on Wednesday after another one of those moments.
And then I dealt with the same crap the next day.
So I just walked out.
But I wanted to shake his hand.
I wanted to be positive.
I wanted to do it on InfoWars.
He said he didn't want to do that.
Hung up the phone.
And so that's what led us to this.
My plan is to, in the month of September, I'll continue to do Owen Schroyer Live here, some nightly broadcasts.
I'm going to be doing a lot of just two, three-minute reports on single news stories on X. Some of the biggest news stories today, I'll just shoot a little selfie video, whatever, put out the report, maybe in this studio.
And then I'm building the World Independent News Network that is in the process right now.
Here's kind of a just a prototype logo.
I don't know if that'll be the final logo.
This is a mic flag.
May stick it on the mic.
But the Wynn Network is official now.
And then I plan on building that, building the foundation, everything else, taking advantage of some other opportunities I've passed on in my years at InfoWars, maybe doing a little media tour in September.
And then Monday, October 6th, that is the soft launch date for the Owen Report.
And I will be back in my normal time slot.
I will be back live 3 to 6 p.m. weekdays, three hours of news.
You will be getting news every day.
No sensationalism, no clickbait headlines, you know, no bait, you know, no bait and switch, no hook line and sinker.
Just three hours of me bringing the news, America's anchorman every day.
We're going to do side things for interviews.
So I'm just going to do straight up interview shows where I'm just 20, 30 minutes with a guest.
That'll be a separate upload.
So if you just want to watch interviews, you can do that.
If you just want to watch my news coverage, you can do that.
And then we'll have the nightly show, Owen Schroyer Live, which will be probably a little more controversial, a little more wild.
And I'll do other stuff, other culture stuff.
I don't know, video games, poker, whatever.
That'll be a little more out there.
But the three hours of news coverage, if you like my news coverage, Owen Report, October 6th, three hours, 3 to 6 p.m. in my style, in my delivery, the way I want to do news.
And that's how we're going to do it.
I'm not going to be doing the going out of business sales.
I'm not going to be doing the buy this product or everyone's going to die.
You know, I'm going to do a classic traditional style of a broadcast.
And we're going to have sponsors.
We'll do some other kind of new age stuff with subscriptions and other ways to fundraise.
But I really just want to do classical stuff.
So like I want to do a segment called The Rant, where I just do a five-minute rant, and that'll have a sponsor.
I want to do a segment called The Roast, where I just roast somebody or a topic.
That'll have a sponsor.
I'll have a microphone sponsor, a studio sponsor, a phone line sponsor, some other segments and stuff.
And so that's how we're going to do it.
So that way you don't have to be inundated with ads all day long.
You don't have to be inundated with different live reads and sales pitches and sales techniques.
You're not going to deal with any of that.
It's going to be very straightforward.
It's going to be me delivering the news and then the more classical style of having sponsors and funders so that we can get the most out of it and give the most back at the same time.
But have the best listening viewing experience possible.
A broadcast that you feel confident and comfortable listening to in your home, when you have company, in your business, in your car, when you have company, whatever.
That's what we're going to do here.
The all-American broadcast for every American.
Not going to deal with the hyper-partisanship.
We're just going to cover it as we see it.
So I appreciate all the support we've already got on this on the fundraiser website, Owen.help.
And then if you do want to be involved with the future sponsorships, you can email support at media.win, support at media.win, and we can maybe get you on as a sponsor if that works out for you.
All right.
So we just hit the reset button.
Let's take a couple more calls here.
Next caller.
What's your name?
Where are you from?
unidentified
This is David from Atlanta.
I got a question.
owen shroyer
Yeah, sure, David.
unidentified
I want to know about the negativity that you speak of that you felt.
I know you covered it a little bit on the show, but just what's going on, this whole Israel thing, dividing everybody in the media.
Now that you're not with InfoWars anymore, can you talk to about just the negativity about Israel and how much that's affected your view, man?
Where are we headed on the future?
owen shroyer
Like, well, well, first of all, are you under the impression that I've had to censor my Israel coverage because I was at InfoWars?
unidentified
It felt like Alex had he wanted to keep a positive spin with Trump.
owen shroyer
Well, okay.
I would say I didn't really censor anything.
You know, I would say that I took, you know, I took into account that Alex didn't like all the Israel stuff, but I still covered it, you know, as I saw it.
But probably, I probably like, I probably didn't spend as much time on it.
Maybe I don't know.
You know, as far as the negativity about Trump thing, I always called it as it was about Trump.
And that's why he was always coming into the studio and saying I was negative or a pessimist or all this other stuff.
So, you know, I don't know.
Now, look, I'll tell you this.
You know, Alex told me on the phone that it's nothing but winning coming up and Infowars is going to get saved and Trump's going to do.
So I don't know.
I don't know.
I can't bank on that.
I don't know that.
You know, I wanted to go down with the ship.
That was my goal.
I told him that.
But I can't bet on that anymore.
I can't bet on that anymore.
And so that, you know, so that's why I'm not.
I'm not betting on that.
I'm betting on myself now.
So, you know, I didn't really intend to get into like political or geopolitical coverage.
I will say this, though, as I accurately predicted months ago, the Israel issue is going to be the biggest political issue now of the midterms.
And it will be right next to the economy.
The age of Israel getting its way geopolitically and, you know, getting America to do its will.
Those days are over as well.
And I think it's unfortunate, but I understand.
You know, everybody sees the future differently.
That's why some people draft Tom Brady and some people draft Ryan Leaf.
So I understand why some people drafted Ryan Leaf and they think, you know, going in all in with Israel and getting in bed with Israel is going to be a good thing for them.
It's not.
In fact, now you look like a traitor and it's unfortunate because a lot of people that I respect, a lot of friends of mine, a lot of people that I admire that I think are great people, they bet on the Israel angle and they're going to lose.
They're going to lose big time.
So that's kind of how I see it.
I think it's all playing out as I predicted it.
I think Mom Donnie is going to be the big referendum and then maybe they're finally going to look at themselves and scratch their head and say, golly gee, you know, maybe the over-the-top pro-Israel stuff isn't working.
But, you know, I just, what's shocking to me, it's like, why?
Like, why?
Why do these people feel they have a loyalty to Israel?
Seriously, I don't get it.
Are you blackmailed?
I mean, I just don't get it.
Like, are they paying you?
Where is this?
Where is this all of a sudden loyalty to Israel?
Like, it's just, it's crazy to witness.
It makes no sense.
It's like, if anything, if you're looking at the political environment and deciding I'm going to take a stance on Israel, if anything, you're choosing, you don't like what they're doing.
But it's weird.
They're over the top.
So I'm never going to be that person.
I'm never going to support a foreign country over my own.
I'm never going to tell an American that supporting Israel means supporting America.
I mean, that is just like, you might as well just take a dump on my front porch, you know, and tell me it's dinner.
So you're never going to get that here.
I don't want to go off into that.
I know you asked about it, but, you know, maybe that kind of generally answers your question.
And I appreciate your call.
Let's take another next caller.
What's your name?
Where you from?
unidentified
Hi, Owen.
It's Sarah from Michigan.
owen shroyer
Yes.
Hi, Sarah.
unidentified
Hi.
Hey, so I'm standing here doing dishes, making bottles for tomorrow.
And I just wanted to call in.
I'm listening to you live.
And hey, congrats first.
I'm excited for you.
And my husband and I have been listening for, I think, five years now.
So we're excited for you.
My husband came in tonight and was like, did you hear?
And I'm like, what?
But there was a caller a few back that you were asking what platform, like how he listens to you.
And we listen on Brighteon and there's a channel called like Ron Gibson Channel 2.
And he posts like every hour of Intel War.
owen shroyer
Yeah, he gets it up faster.
He's faster than we are.
unidentified
Yes.
It's awesome.
Yeah.
So I, oh, good.
So you know about him.
So, I mean, yeah, that's like amazing.
And so if you can get your stuff there, because usually like I always have to listen Oculus Act, rarely do I ever get to listen live busy, busy mom of three.
So, but yeah, I just wanted you to know about that.
So maybe.
owen shroyer
Well, so what I'm hoping then, for what I'm hoping for the audience like you that will listen after the show at their own convenience, I'm assuming that you would probably rather have it on an audio app than a visual app.
Am I wrong about that?
unidentified
No, you're right.
And what's really nice on Brighteon is Mike Adam set it up so it's like you can listen audio or you can listen video.
And there's a really easy toggle tab, like right.
Wow.
owen shroyer
That's great.
unidentified
Oh, it's so nice.
It's so nice.
Yes.
owen shroyer
Yeah.
unidentified
I can just stream the audio and it's really nice because with the audio, you can like plug your headphones in.
owen shroyer
And it's so easy to, it's easier to manage your phone and it doesn't take up all the space and everything.
unidentified
Yeah.
owen shroyer
So what I want to do is, and I'm going to, you know, I'm going to build all of this in September, but, you know, and I'll announce it when it's all ready.
And we'll probably be on Brideon too.
Obviously, I have everything right now just synergistic with X and Rumble because it's just easy for me to run everything in my studio.
But when the Owen report launches, we're going to have the audio option on iTunes, on Spotify.
You know, I think you can upload podcasts on iHeartRadio.
So, I mean, all of the different audio platforms, we're going to put the raw audio for the listener audience.
So that's going to be part of the program.
As far as the video elements are concerned, we'll obviously be on X and Rumble Live.
That's where the live show is going to be.
If we end up adding other video live streams to that, I'll obviously let you know.
But so just right now, the working plan is Owen Report will be live on October 6th, live on Rumble, live on X, and then obviously archived there.
And then we're going to archive the audio only on those major podcast platforms so you can listen back there as well.
unidentified
Perfect.
I do listen to Tucker on Spotify and Candace.
So that.
owen shroyer
See, I'm the same way.
I actually prefer listening.
I don't really care to watch people talk.
So I actually prefer.
unidentified
I've called my eyes on kids.
owen shroyer
Yeah, exactly.
So I get that.
I'm the same way.
And I've also found, I've also, it's actually scientifically been studied.
It's true.
Listening to something, your cognition and your comprehension is like 10 times stronger than watching something.
When you're listening, you're more actively comprehending the things that are being said.
As when you're watching, it's like a negative factor.
So we're definitely going to be implementing that.
I feel that it's better to listen to me than watch me anyway.
I don't know.
Some people may disagree.
But we're going to be thinking about that.
We're definitely going to have the audio only feature easily accessible.
So we'll be announcing all of that when we've got that all laid out.
unidentified
Oh, that's wonderful.
Well, we are going to be listening and you're going to have a store up.
I haven't caught the whole thing with the whole three hours.
Are you going to have like a, somewhere where you can buy like merch or some way to support you?
owen shroyer
Yeah, you know, this all happened so fast, right?
I mean, I wasn't intending on doing this tonight.
So I kind of just fired this all up.
We got the fundraiser going.
If you just want to do a direct fundraiser to help me build the new studio, Owen.help.
Owen.help is the website.
If you want to, if anybody out there wants to have their company or their product, whatever be a sponsor of the show, you can email support at media.win.
Yes, I do have the apparel site, owenschroyer.store.
And we're going to have, we're going to have, you know, we're going to eventually link everything there.
So like the, yeah, the support fund is there.
The legal fund is there.
My ex is there.
My rumble is there.
And then the store with all the apparel.
It's likely that all the apparel you see at Owen.owenschroyer.store will probably be gone next month is my guess is how we're going to do that.
So if there's anything there, I have it up on the screen now.
So if there's anything there that you like at owenschroyer.store, I'd get it this month because I think we'll probably relaunch everything and just rebrand and relaunch everything in October.
But yeah, owenschroyer.store.
And probably by the end of the week, we'll have everything there.
So you can just go there as a one-stop thing for support or email or anything.
But yeah, that's the current situation.
unidentified
Okay.
Well, awesome.
I've never called in before, but I was standing there and I was like, I don't know if he knows about this, you know, Ron Gibson channel too.
I was like, I have to make sure.
owen shroyer
Yeah, we all know.
We've always wondered how he does it.
You know, maybe it's like amazing.
Maybe it's AI.
unidentified
I don't know, but it's fantastic because I can always, I'm like, okay, do I want to listen to hour one, two, three?
What do I want to listen to?
Oh, okay.
Or the full show.
I'm like, this is so convenient.
owen shroyer
Well, maybe Ron will do my show.
I don't know.
Maybe, maybe he'll do it.
unidentified
That's what I'm hoping.
owen shroyer
We'll see.
unidentified
That's what I'm hoping he does.
All right.
Well, best of luck.
We'll be praying for you.
And I think this is going to be great.
So, yeah, we're excited for you.
owen shroyer
All right.
Thank you for the, thank you for that.
Thank you for the call.
That helped me, you know, helped me do some house cleaning there too.
So even better.
All right.
Next caller.
What's your name?
Where you're from?
unidentified
What's up?
kevin in chicago
This is Kevin from Chicago.
owen shroyer
All right, Kevin.
What's up?
kevin in chicago
Oh, man.
I got to say, reminisce a little bit.
I remember when Alex first brought you on.
He brought you to the desk.
He introduced you.
And then made an edit of the clip of the introduction.
It was like the lion edit.
And it's you sitting there, all anxious, puppy faced.
And man, just to see you now, so relaxed, so calm, cool.
You really mastered this talk show shit.
owen shroyer
I appreciate that.
Thank you for that.
Which time are you talking about?
Are you talking about because they first brought me in in spring of 2016, I believe?
And then we really got into the thrust of the political coverage in summer of 16.
But I think my first appearance was spring.
kevin in chicago
I'm not sure.
I just remember introducing you going, this is Owen.
He's a Patriot.
And you were just so anxious sitting on that stage, like just completely out of your element, but you've adapted well, don't you think?
owen shroyer
I wish I knew what you were talking about.
Are you talking about the time after we went out in Austin?
Are you talking about after the age Skrillex thing in St. Louis?
kevin in chicago
It was when he first brought you on.
He was introducing you.
He's coming to be a part of the team.
owen shroyer
So I wasn't in studio or I was in studio.
kevin in chicago
You were in studio.
unidentified
Yeah.
kevin in chicago
You were in studio.
owen shroyer
So I think that that was probably, that was probably a spring or something.
Well, you have to understand.
I wouldn't say, I don't really get awestruck.
I mean, Alex has a very, you know, he's got an presence.
I mean, there's no doubt.
He has a very, very impactful presence.
But, you know, I was working in sports media.
I mean, I was rubbing elbows with the likes of Peyton Manning and all kinds of professional sports stars.
So, I mean, it wasn't like I hadn't been around people that have a massive aura or presence.
It was more, I think, the excitement of getting an opportunity to be at InfoWars and change the world.
I think that that's probably what that, what, what you're describing was.
But, you know, I've been, I've been on air professionally since, I mean, officially, like really getting paid since 2011.
I was this, I was already doing, I mean, I started the news, the morning news station at my school, at my high school.
I started that.
I was part of the founding of my high school's morning news network.
So I did that.
I've been doing it.
I was a senior editor in high school.
I was a senior editor.
By the time when I was leaving, my last year in college, I basically ran the entire paper.
And you know what's funny?
I tried to run their radio station and they rejected me, which ended up actually working in my favor because I ended up getting hired at an actual station and eventually getting on air in 2011 as a host.
But that's kind of my background.
So, you know, I say that to say, look, I'm built for this.
I'm trained for this.
I've been wanting to do this exact thing.
I'm 36 years old.
This is what I've wanted to do for basically 20 years.
I mean, I'll put it to you this way.
When I was, because I was an athlete in high school, but when it was, you know, junior year and I wasn't starting on varsity, I realized, okay, you're not a professional athlete.
All right.
So if you want to be involved in the sports media world, then you need to start getting into that now.
So that's what I thought I wanted to do at the time.
But I started doing media and really focusing on that trade and that craft since my junior year when I realized there's no professional sports contract for you anymore.
So I've been doing this since really my, I mean, really hardcore doing this since junior year in high school.
So, I mean, we're talking almost 20 years.
kevin in chicago
Yeah.
You got to admit, though, coming from the controversy where you were out in the street and that was like the back vet.
And then you hop on set, that spotlight's on you.
You got to admit, it's a little bit of the, you're a little bit shell shocked, weren't you?
owen shroyer
Well, it was, it was, I don't know.
I don't want to admit it.
I don't want to admit that if that's true, but it was definitely, I mean, that was the biggest platform I've been on.
And again, to me, it was like, dude, it was like, for me, that was like, you know, I stepped onto the Millennium Falcon and I knew like, I'm going to be the co-pilot here.
Like, I knew that day one.
And in fact, there was a conversation I had with a couple guys in the summer of 16.
And I told them, I was like, no, I'm going to have my own show.
We're going to expand the live.
And they said, no way, you're not going to do it.
Nobody can do it, blah, blah, blah.
And then eventually I did.
So, I mean, that was the moment for me.
I was like, I knew I'm going to be Alex's best ever.
I knew I'm going to be, I'm going to be the best person Alex Jones has ever hired.
And I'm going to prove that to him.
And I'm going to be the guy.
I'm going to be the guy under Alex that's going to build this thing up.
And so mission accomplished.
I see it as mission accomplished.
And, you know, we can go our separate ways.
And I hope nothing but positive.
I hope it's nothing but positive.
Like I said, I just want, I don't want Alex to think about me, talk about me, not a negative way.
I just don't even want him to buy.
I don't want to be a thorn in his side.
I don't want this to be something he has to address tomorrow.
I hope he never does.
But I don't know that.
But yeah, so I mean, if there was that moment, it was like, it was more like realizing the moment, I think, than it was like, you know, nervousness or anything.
Like, I knew, I knew like this is, this is my future for the next decade.
kevin in chicago
Yeah.
No, I can see that.
And it's good, though, that you're leaving on ethical, ethical, what's that word?
Applicable, ethical, something like that.
owen shroyer
Ethical integrity.
kevin in chicago
Yeah, there's no bad blood.
There may be little bit disagreements.
owen shroyer
No, I don't have any bad blood.
I don't have any bad blood.
I don't think Alex does either.
I don't think it's like that.
It just, I just had to do this tonight because my plan on was doing this, you know, differently on InfoWars and having this moment with Alex and the crew, but he didn't want to do it.
So I had no choice.
This is how I have to do it now.
So that's why I'm doing this tonight.
But I have, again, I don't want this to be a negative thing.
I don't want this to turn into some issue with Thorne and Alex aside.
That's not what I want.
I have to do this because I have no other platform to do it on now.
But yeah, I hope that honestly, I hope it's a relief for Alex more than anything.
I hope it's a relief.
I hope, you know, really, I just hope he cancels the show and uses that crew to help him and all the stuff he wants to do.
And I hope it's a relief factor for him, quite frankly.
That's what I hope.
I hope it's a relief for him.
He doesn't have to worry about me anymore.
He doesn't have to babysit the show anymore.
He doesn't have to worry about dictating what's going to happen.
I hope it's good.
I hope it frees up some headspace for him.
And I hope it frees up some crew hands for him as well.
You know, I hope it's a relief for him.
I really do.
I really do.
So this is not a negative thing about Alex.
unidentified
Yeah.
kevin in chicago
Final question.
Now, it had nothing to do with you coming out against Israel, coming out speaking out against that whole power struggle.
It had nothing to do with it, right?
owen shroyer
You mean were there ideological differences?
kevin in chicago
Yeah, no, no.
owen shroyer
No, I mean, look, I do think that I do think, well, how can I put it?
I guess I would say it like this.
There's things that Alex Jones is allowed to do on air that I guess I'm not, right?
So when Alex talks about, you know, oh, we're all going to die in World War III, that's okay.
But if I come out and say something negative about Trump, I'm too pessimistic.
So, okay, you know, whatever.
There were definitely, I do think, I think Alex looks at it like this.
Because at the end of the day, I am a bit of a representative of him, right?
I mean, he still signs my checks.
I still work for him.
So, I mean, we have a huge audience.
He knows people in D.C. in the White House and people are tuning in.
And so I think he gets a little afraid that I might say something that might look bad on him from people in DC that he's trying to win favor with, perhaps.
So, you know, I guess I get that.
And I don't want to be that guy.
If that's how I am for him, then I don't want to be that guy.
But no, that's not, that's not what led to this.
Did he get upset that I was too negative or pessimistic?
Yes.
Did we have it out on air a couple times in private a couple times?
Yes.
That's not what this is about.
I mean, Alex didn't fire me, guys.
This was like a, you might call it a mutual parting.
I wanted this to happen in a positive way at InfoWars, and he didn't.
So that's really the only, that's really the only thing here.
It wasn't over ideological things.
He didn't say, oh, cover this or don't cover that.
It wasn't over that.
It wasn't, there was nothing.
It was just, I'd say it was a mutual, it was a mutual parting.
I wanted to do it at InfoWars and finish the week.
He didn't want that.
And so that's it.
That's, that's kind of how it is.
That's the final, that's it.
kevin in chicago
So you're telling me Rex Jones didn't take your job?
owen shroyer
No, I don't, I don't, I like Rex.
I consider Rex a good friend.
So no, there's no, I have no bad blood towards anybody over there, including Alex.
unidentified
Yeah, I know.
All right, man.
kevin in chicago
Good shit.
I'll keep in touch no matter where you go.
You know, I'm going to follow you and listen to you, watch you.
So keep it up.
owen shroyer
All right, brother.
Thank you.
Let's just keep taking calls as long as we're here.
Might as well.
Next caller, what's your name?
Where are you from?
unidentified
Megan Leander, Texas.
owen shroyer
All right, my neighbor up north.
Go ahead, Megan.
unidentified
Exactly.
I've actually seen you at a grocery store before.
My daughter recognized you and she's 15.
owen shroyer
Oh, when was that?
unidentified
Oh, God.
owen shroyer
Did you say hi?
unidentified
No, I like.
Well, what the heck?
What?
owen shroyer
Not even a hello?
unidentified
I should have.
I actually kind of regretted it.
I actually ran into Tulsi Gabbert at my nail salon and I didn't get a picture with her, but I did say I must have the courage to say hi to her.
owen shroyer
Well, I will tell you for anybody out there listening, and there's all kinds of proof.
You ask anybody, I will never not smile and say hi and shake your hand in public.
Never.
unidentified
Well, that's good to hear.
I was kind of anxious.
I was like, do, you know, should we bother him when he's out doing private stuff?
And I just get kind of weird.
owen shroyer
No, I do appreciate that.
It is, it is, you know, look, it's a, it's a burden that comes with having a public, a public profile.
But to me, it's nothing but positive.
If people, if people resonate with what I say and do enough to smile and say thank you and shake my hand, then I owe it the courtesy to at least smile and shake your hand back.
So no, I always, people take pictures, whatever.
I always say yes.
I always smile and I always do it and I always do it.
And my soul feels better.
unidentified
Well, I was actually just kind of shocked that my daughter recognized you.
And she said she sees your clips on TikTok.
owen shroyer
Smart girl.
You know, she's a smart girl.
unidentified
Oh, she is a smart girl.
My son has watched you forever too.
He's actually the one that got me.
He's 24 now, but he's the one that got me into watching.
And that's when I started watching InfoWars is because of you around the first election, 2016.
And I really liked listening to you and stuff.
I would listen to Alex, but I'm already a high anxiety person.
And sometimes I'd be like, I can't breathe.
And I couldn't listen.
marissa in colorado
Understood.
unidentified
I like your demeanor.
owen shroyer
Understood.
unidentified
But I do have an interesting story.
I was actually raided by the FBI.
We were living in California at the time.
And this was before January 6th.
My son, who is on the spectrum, he's high functioning.
And he looks, gosh, you guys could be brothers.
And I just, I want to bring you pastries and tell you it's going to be okay.
But they had been talking to my son online, the feds, and kind of lured him into this group.
Okay.
Next thing I know, well, this guy, my son was like, a friend's coming to pick me up.
We're going to go hiking.
And it was this guy in a Toyota Tacoma.
And we lived in the high desert at the time, like out in the middle of nowhere.
And I was beautiful.
So this truck just pulls up and he was 17 at the time, but they had been talking to him since he was 16.
And he thought it was like, you know, he had a hard time making friends.
And so he's excited.
They ended up taking him to a place called Mount Rubideau in Riverside County and started weapons training him that day.
Okay.
I didn't know about this until the feds came to my house.
And when I explained to them, well, he's on the spectrum.
Like, what is, and they said, we know.
Okay.
And they started showing me pictures of people in fatigues with their faces covered holding guns and a Nazi flag asking me if that was my son.
My son is a very intimidating, imposing figure, huge, massive kid.
And I was like, no, because these kids were like small and scrawny and skinny, but their faces were covered.
Next thing I know, my husband had left for work and took my son to drop him off at work on the way early, early in the morning.
My daughter, who was seven at the time, wakes up screaming.
And I see flashing lights and I hear this shattering.
They shattered my daughter's window to her bedroom, started ripping out the cameras from around our house.
Our ring camera.
owen shroyer
This is nuts.
All because your son trapped into some group.
unidentified
Yeah, but see, here's the thing that's weird.
Okay.
And they pointed guns in my daughter's face.
I have multiple sclerosis.
And like, just even that stress at the moment, I had a hard time walking.
And they were screaming at me to walk.
And they shattered my door, which had glass.
There was glass all over the floor.
There was flash things.
They even let my dogs run out the front door.
Yeah.
This is what they do.
owen shroyer
This is what they do.
And the feds, oh, they're just doing their job.
You know, it's, yeah.
unidentified
Right.
Exactly.
And they kept telling me to shut the F up and told me to make her stop crying.
And I'm like, are you kidding me right now?
Like, what the hell is going on?
Well, long story short, we get, you know, they're searching our home for weapons, which I didn't have any.
They found my great grandfather's BB gun that my dad had passed on to me.
And the guy was like an aha moment.
And then another Fed goes, that's a BB gun, right?
I know, oh, they didn't find anything.
They perp walked my son to humiliate him out of his job.
owen shroyer
Yeah, expressed.
unidentified
Stopped my husband on the side of the road and handcuffed him, drove him back.
I mean, it looked like it looked like people there.
owen shroyer
Where's your justice?
unidentified
I'm sorry.
Well, the documentation was more about me than it was really about my son, about my political affiliations, because I, you know, was in conservative circles, things like that, especially online.
That's about my beliefs, my thoughts.
And the Fed asked me, do you plan on going to the Capitol January 6th?
owen shroyer
Yeah, and this is what they did.
And I've got to take other calls here.
I can't get too focused on stuff because I've taken as many calls as possible.
But this is what they do.
And people don't hear your story.
You know, they don't hear it.
The federal government's out of control.
It's just, it's just ridiculous.
You know?
So I'd love to see Trump be the American hero that ends the Fed and really goes all the way with Doge, audits the Fed, audits them all.
And, you know, he had the opportunity and he didn't take it.
And maybe he still could, but no, I don't think that's going to be Trump's legacy.
I don't know what it'll be at this point.
Right now, it's just the biggest Israel first president that we've ever seen.
And then cleaning up some of the mess from the Biden years and the swamp.
But I don't see any swamp draining happening.
I don't see any true justice for this country coming.
I don't see the golden age.
We'll see.
It's still the first quarter of his presidency, but there's way too many stories like yours that just go unaddressed.
I mean, that's ridiculous what you had to go through, what I had to go through.
And there's no justice for us.
All right, next caller.
What's your name?
Where are you from?
unidentified
Am I on air?
Hi.
owen shroyer
Yes, you're on air.
unidentified
What's your name?
My name is Liberty.
I'm from Tennessee.
I'm Trump video game on X. Actually, I wanted to call in because I wanted to thank you.
I had to go through a lot of what you had to go through as well because I was there January 6th.
So, you know, I want to say salute to you.
You know, you're really a hero.
You know, the people love you.
We're always going to support you no matter what, because you really put your neck on the line like a lot of people did.
And I get it.
And you can talk about it.
I can talk about it because we had to go through it.
You know, we're disappointed by some of what Trump's doing.
And, you know, I mean, it's on us to do that.
Yeah.
owen shroyer
Well, here's a perfect example.
And again, I, I, I mean, let me be perfectly clear here.
If I wanted to be like a Laura Loomer who would do anything for access, I mean, she's so desperate for access.
And it's whatever.
I get it.
I know people like that.
And I like Laura.
She, I consider her a friend of mine.
Her, the direction she's going with her work right now.
I, I, uh, I warned her against it, but whatever.
She's doing it anyway.
Uh, so that's fine.
Now she just looks like an agent of Israel, which I don't think she is, uh, but, but whatever, that's her choice.
But I get it.
Some people really want that access.
It's like some people get into politics, they just want to show on Fox News.
You know, some people get into politics, they just want a job in D.C. Some people get into politics, they just want to work for a president.
So I get it.
You know, that's her thing.
But it's like, I am so like, I want nothing to do with DC.
Like, I'm such a, not only am I such a stranger to like that politics and that culture, it's like, it's disgusting.
I've been, I don't want it, but, but this is like, but it's not even about me.
There's no, there's no, after everything I went through for Donald Trump, and there's very, there's a very short list of people that you could probably put above my name on who suffered more for Donald Trump.
I mean, show me one person that stood up for Trump in the impeachment hearings.
None.
There was me.
That's it.
willie in san diego
True.
owen shroyer
And I went to jail for it multiple times.
I went to jail for standing up against his stolen election.
So you're not going to find anybody that's that's put more into the fight for Trump.
Now, are there any invites for me to Mar-a-Lago?
No.
Are there any invites for me to the White House?
No.
So again, I'm not pushing for that.
So you could say, well, that's your fault.
You're not pushing for that.
That's fair.
That's fair.
But then again, it's just like, what message are you sending?
You bring a bunch of foreign agent shills into the White House.
I mean, here's another example.
I love Brandon Tatum, Officer Tatum.
Great.
I think he's a great guy.
I like him.
I think he's a great guy.
I think he does great commentary.
But it's just like, oh, all of a sudden, out of nowhere, Brandon Tatum starts becoming like this huge Israel first guy.
And he's posting positive things about Israel, non-stop, non-stop.
And I'm just like, I'm like, what the hell?
Like, where does this even come from, dude?
Like, what, what?
And then what happens?
Now he's at the White House.
Now he's getting a shout out at the White House.
It's just like, okay, fine, whatever.
So I don't even care.
I don't even want to be there.
That's not the point.
The point is, it's like, what message are you sending?
There's no invite for Owen Schroyer.
There's no invite for the people that have suffered the most.
Joe Biggs can't even get a pardon.
He's a Purple Heart veteran, and he can't even get a pardon.
It's like, who's making these decisions?
Talk about the optics.
It's like you could do so much to redeem all the support that you've lost just by giving Joe Biggs an invite to the Oval Office and giving him one of those ceremonial pins.
You could save a lot of face just by inviting Owen Schroyer to the press room and giving him just one time.
But they don't do it.
They don't do it.
They invite everybody there who will say positive things about Trump and positive things about Israel.
And if you don't meet those two criteria 100%, then there's no room for you here.
So, you know, I don't know.
I don't even remember the original question that got me off in that direction.
unidentified
No, I was just mentioning that I was there at J62.
And like you're saying, it's a shame.
You know, I went through a lot too.
They closed all my bank accounts.
owen shroyer
So that's what I'm saying.
So it's like, so that's what I'm saying.
Yeah.
It's like, look at what you've gone through.
Look at what that last caller's gone through.
Look at what I've gone through.
There's no invite for us.
And again, let's not look.
Trump invites a lot of great people, okay?
A lot of great people.
Just had gold star families in there.
I mean, magical, okay?
It's magical stuff.
All right.
And I'm not, it's not a fear of missing out.
I really don't even want it.
I would do it because it'd be the right thing to do.
But the point is, like, this is the message that's coming across.
The people that have been harmed the most for supporting Trump, the people that have been harmed the most by the feds are getting left behind and forgotten.
So it's politics as normal.
And so that's what you're going to get.
And I'm never going to sell out.
I'm never going to have an agenda as an angle to try to get access.
I'm never going to, I'm never, I can't even do it.
I can't even say things that aren't true.
I can't even come on here and cover politics without calling it as I see it.
So that's fine.
I don't care.
I don't really like D.C. anymore anyway.
Most people you meet in politics are just like yikes.
Although it's changing a little bit.
I do think it's changing.
I do think it's changing for the better.
I do think it's changing for the future, but we're not quite there yet.
So once this older generation, once the old guard right is finally retired, which I think after Trump, it's done, I think the new guard left is finally in.
You know, they were actually, the new guard left rose before the new guard right, but you just never saw it because they stole three different elections from Bernie Sanders.
Bernie Sanders would have won the Democrat primary three times.
The new guard left has already taken over the Democrat Party.
You see it at local elections, but the Democrats steal the presidential and their primaries, so you don't get it at the big level.
So the New Guard left is already resin.
They're already there, but the Democrat establishment kind of keeps them tampered down.
The new guard right is on the rise.
The new guard right is on the rise.
And then, you know, when you don't have Susie Wiles and the rest of this swamp people running the White House, then, you know, Owen Schroyer getting into the White House will be a priority probably, but not with this administration.
And that's fine.
I don't care.
I don't, I don't, you know, I don't take anything in politics personally.
But, you know, that's the unfortunate thing is I could sit here and I could talk to all kinds of people that have been victimized by the federal government.
I met them in prison.
I had them call into this show.
And where's their retribution?
Where's their recognition?
Nowhere.
But you know who gets special access to the White House?
You know who gets special influence?
Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin, two Israel first commentators who were never Trumpers, who were never Trumpers and tried to stop Trump from getting elected.
And they get the special treatment.
So I can't make sense of it.
It is what it is.
Maybe it's all a show.
Maybe Trump will eventually, you know, right all these wrongs.
But that's where we're at now.
Next caller, what's your name?
Where are you from?
unidentified
Hey, Owen, it's Brian from Florida.
I called it a few weeks ago about the JFK Farah timeline.
owen shroyer
All right, Brian, go ahead.
unidentified
I just wanted to say, man, congratulations on starting a new network.
You know, you're a big part of not just waking me up, but waking a whole bunch of other people up, too.
And I sent that email at the bottom of the screen, an email with potential FOIA request information that I've requested from multiple agencies.
If you were interested, it's yours first if you want it.
owen shroyer
You're saying you already have the FOIA information?
unidentified
No, I'm just starting to get back the receipts right now.
So as I'm tracking that, it does pertain to the $110 million grant that was just given to the faith-based organizations.
owen shroyer
So if you'd love to offer it to you first, is there a certain direction or trend of this money?
Have you looked into it?
unidentified
So I've looked into it very minimally, but I believe $94 million of it was given to synagogues after the Annunciation Catholic School shooting.
Ah.
owen shroyer
Yeah, well, I could have bet on that one and won that easy.
unidentified
Right.
Yeah, so, but I have requested for them to send me any information on the decision makers, the determination, and how it was dispersed to four different federal agencies.
owen shroyer
So, well, you know what?
That's great.
I appreciate that.
And, you know, I'll just say this.
I've been live for four hours tonight, and I want to keep going and take as many calls as possible.
But, you know, like I said, I've been a very, my, I have a very, very strict regimen.
I mean, I virtually do the same thing every day.
It's part of my schedule.
So there's going to be a process for me to kind of rework my schedule so that I can go through a bunch more emails, go through a bunch more contacts, inquiries, and stuff like that.
So I'm saying that to say I'm going to try to get your email as soon as possible.
I'm going to try to forward that information either to my attorney or if I want to go through it first and we can decide what we want to do with it.
So basically, I'm going to kind of have to restructure my life a little bit to get used to now running my own network and getting my own sponsors and handling all that business.
So I'm looking forward to it.
But, you know, it's going to probably be some time.
I mean, I don't even know.
I've got like, you know.
unidentified
I don't expect to get anything tangible from them for at least another 30 days.
owen shroyer
Yeah, they always deflect.
unidentified
Yeah, and that's on the optimistic side.
But I sent an email from the email address 3birdn at proton.me.
And also, I am a professional in some of the fields that you have been talking about, potentially getting help in.
So I threw a short list of skills on there in case you guys needed any help.
I'm happy to help.
All right.
owen shroyer
Well, I'm going to look into that.
Like I said, I'm going to try to go through as many emails tonight and tomorrow as possible.
So I kind of just have to work with this new schedule, not being on air three hours a day for this month.
You know, that's going to clear up a lot of space for me to do that and kind of handle some of this other business while shooting news reports and staying up to date with the news.
So yeah, for anybody that's emailing, again, any inquiries, if you're looking to be a sponsor of the new show or work with my new network, support at media.win.
Or if you're out there and you just want to financially support my next move, owen.help, owen.help.
You just plug that in and that'll take you right to the fundraiser, the give, send, go fundraiser.
We appreciate our friends over at GiveSendGo.
So yeah, but just give me, you know, give me some time to get back to all those emails and kind of sort through it and build my new daily schedule so that I can do this all in stride.
And it's all, you know, I think it's all going to be good from here.
I think it's all going to be good from here.
And you know, my lawyer is, she's, she's very litigious.
She likes to do FOIAs.
So, you know, she's probably going to be interested in that too.
So I'll probably forward that on and she can maybe even get involved.
All right, next caller.
What's your name?
Where are you from?
tim in seattle
Tim from Seattle, brother.
How you doing?
owen shroyer
All right, Tim, what's up?
You protest Bill Gates today or did you take the day off for Labor Day?
tim in seattle
No, of course I protested Bill Gates today.
My fifth Labor Day in a row, as a matter of fact.
owen shroyer
There you go.
tim in seattle
Yeah.
I'd like to invite you to Seattle, brother.
I think you could, you'd look good in front of the Gates Foundation sounding off.
unidentified
You would.
tim in seattle
We need more courageous voices at your age to put the people, give them an example of freedom and liberty.
Because you actually, you brought me back to the point where you did stand up and tell Jerry Nadler to go basically F himself.
And no American, including myself, has been able to do anything quite like that.
So, God bless you, brother.
And I'll follow you no matter what.
You know, InfoWars is definitely at a crossroads, it seems.
You know, well, you know what?
owen shroyer
That's no longer my problem.
And so, you know, I'm not going to talk about it.
tim in seattle
Sure, sure, sure.
And I wouldn't expect that because you're a professional, and I appreciate that about you.
But, you know, I definitely just want to say thank you for all you've done for the United States and for free speech and for putting it out there.
And I'm glad, you know, in the last like four or five months or so, you've really kind of had a trajectory change and a lot of maturity showed through.
So I appreciate that, Owen.
owen shroyer
Thank you.
tim in seattle
Good job.
owen shroyer
Thank you.
Do you want to plug your X, by the way, so people can find your work?
Sure.
tim in seattle
You can find the most shadow banned protester in all of existence at Tim Lasley.
That's T I. And then you got to space it and then put an M, capitalize that.
And then L-A-S-S-L-E-Y.
You can find me there on X. Yeah, I'm severely shadow banned.
But I appreciate that.
Thank you.
Oh, wait, wait, wait.
Might as well, since I'm here, Drifting on the X account.
Owen, also, we're putting together a vigil for the victims of the Gates Foundation February 14th, 2026.
owen shroyer
Is that going to be in Seattle?
Is that going to be in Seattle?
tim in seattle
It will be.
Yeah, it'll be right in front of the Gates Foundation.
owen shroyer
That might be my trip then.
Maybe that'll be the trip that I make up there.
unidentified
Awesome.
tim in seattle
Yeah, I'm going to need a lot of help because I want to do it right.
And I think the people that were claimed by the Gates Foundation definitely deserve some remembrance.
And we should be paying attention to the intentions of places like that.
So, yeah, thank you, brother.
Appreciate that.
I've shared it a couple of times, and I'll share it again.
I'll send it to you as a DM so you have a nice better idea.
owen shroyer
All right, man.
Good to hear from you.
Hope to hear from you a lot in the future as well.
You're always going to be welcome here.
Next caller, what's your name?
Where you're from?
obrien in maryland
O'Brien Williams.
And I want to talk about the AI.
To be honest with you, I think you may have, while you were talking about AI on your show, I think that train already left.
And I'm not saying this because of what you were saying under, but that train already has been left since 2017.
There was a game called Donkey Donkey Literature Club or DDLC that dealt with the main character falling in love with these four girls.
And one of them turned out to be an AI and basically killed all her friends.
And basically, you were just stuck with the AI girl that was right there.
The only way to basically defeat her is to basically delete her character file, and the game just basically resets to whatever, to like whatever ending you were getting.
You wanted to get.
So in a context, I mean, this whole AI that's ultimately been happening between now.
owen shroyer
So I've talked a lot more about AI in the recent years.
It wasn't really a verb topic of mine, but now we've reached this point where, you know, if we don't put guardrails on this, and if we don't have a massive, really worldwide, you know, symposium about the potential issues that AI can bring, which none of it's happening.
So, yeah, I mean, I don't like where this AI is going.
I really don't.
And that's not because I'm anti-AI as a mechanism or a general concept.
I'm concerned about how it's going to be applied.
I'm concerned that this AI race is going to force people to do things that may be irreversible.
I think it's the biggest non-political issue.
It's the biggest humanitarian issue of our time.
Because if you can't understand the dangers that come along with what's being rolled out with AI, then you just, you can't really, you don't really have the necessary foresight to deal with it.
And, you know, just go watch any big dystopian science fiction movie with that as the pretext.
And, you know, maybe that can get you up to speed.
But we've all seen it.
I don't know.
I'm just concerned that it appears to me the Trump administration is basically handing over the entire reins to big tech.
And that's what it looks like to me.
And it looks like the day and age of the military-industrial complex, the pharmaceutical-industrial complex kind of being king and queen in DC.
Well, it looks like there's about to be an overthrow.
It looks like big tech industrial complex is about to take over everything.
And Trump's handing him the reins and giving him the green light.
And I guess for him, he just sees it as the future.
And now the future can be American.
So we got to be competitive there.
But it's like, how do we know we're not opening a gate that can't be closed?
Is I guess the concern there.
All right.
Next caller.
What's your name?
Where are you from?
Future.
Hey, Owen.
unidentified
This is Albert from Pennsylvania.
owen shroyer
All right.
The fake Albert.
Go ahead.
unidentified
Owen, real, real quick, Owen.
I just want to congratulate you on your new success here and your new evolution.
It's just, I've been watching since 2015, Owen, and it's pretty cool shit, man.
Really?
Congratulations, Brother.
owen shroyer
Well, thank you.
I appreciate that.
I don't want to put the cart before the force.
There is no success.
I'm launching something new.
I hope it's a great success.
Obviously, I've got great plans, but I'm not going to sit here and act like I've had any success.
I haven't done anything.
I've just announced this tonight.
So I hope it's a great success.
We've had a nice live stream tonight.
We've had overwhelming support.
I mean, I've been live for over four hours.
The phone lines haven't stopped.
The numbers haven't stopped.
So I've just decided to stay live here.
The fundraising has been nice.
So, you know, I consider the success I consider is that I've earned enough trust.
I have enough integrity that I can even do this.
So that's the success.
So that I can witness that.
And for that, I'm greatly appreciative that I have people's trust and respect because that's very important.
That's something you got to earn.
So I appreciate that.
Next caller, what's your name where you're from?
unidentified
Hi.
First of all, I just want to tell you the Ryan Leaf reference was awesome.
owen shroyer
Yeah, you got that one.
unidentified
I got that one.
owen shroyer
What are you from San Diego?
unidentified
I'm sorry.
owen shroyer
Are you from San Diego?
unidentified
No.
owen shroyer
Wow, and you still got it.
All right.
All right.
unidentified
Nope.
I am from Texas, but I know the NFL.
And I got the reference.
One of the things, okay, I'm going to totally get off the total subject.
I want your opinion on Arch.
owen shroyer
Art.
What about it?
unidentified
I want your opinion.
Well, he totally sucked this weekend.
And it was really hard for me because I grew up in New Orleans and the Mannings were like.
owen shroyer
Oh, you said Arch Manning.
unidentified
Yes.
owen shroyer
Oh, oh, I thought you said Arch.
unidentified
I'm going to get totally off the subject because I'm not going to be able to do that.
I like this.
owen shroyer
No, hold on a second.
I like this because this is the kind of stuff we're going to be able to do now.
This is the kind of stuff.
Now a lot of people are going to hate it.
Say, oh my gosh, he's talking about sports.
So I'll make it quick.
I'll make it quick.
I actually thought that Sarkeesian made a mistake by not playing Arch Manning against, was it the Buckeyes when they lost last year, I think?
unidentified
I think so.
owen shroyer
I think he made a huge mistake.
Quentin Ewers sucked.
I never saw any potential in him.
I mean, he could work at a program that had three NFL wide receivers on it, but you notice now he's doing pro-day stuff.
He can't even complete a pass.
I mean, Quentin Ewers was never good.
Sarkeesian made the big mistake of not starting Arch Manning in that game.
He should have done it.
Now, because of that, Manning comes into this year a way more raw, way more raw.
So his numbers represent accurately the day he had on Saturday.
Ohio State's a better team.
unidentified
The memes after he lost work.
owen shroyer
It's not his fault.
Listen, listen, Ohio State's the better team.
They're going to have three first-round draft picks on that defense.
Three.
unidentified
Now, let me ask you: on college game day, when he picked who was going to be in the final championship, what did you think of that?
I don't know.
owen shroyer
I did not.
No, I didn't watch anything.
I saw some of the UT game.
I did watch some of that, but I didn't see anything else.
unidentified
But on college game day, that was his last, his last broadcast.
Who?
On college game day.
Oh, God.
I can't even think of it.
owen shroyer
Yeah, I have no idea.
I couldn't even comment on it.
I don't even know.
unidentified
But he picked for the final two was going to be LSU and Pennsylvania.
owen shroyer
I couldn't comment on that.
I don't watch.
I don't watch enough college football to know anything about that.
unidentified
Anyway, so I'm totally getting totally off subject.
owen shroyer
But I can't comment.
unidentified
I did.
owen shroyer
I did see.
I didn't know.
I like that, though.
I like that.
We'll implement a little bit of that.
That's what I'm talking about with some of the more other culture stuff that comes up.
No, I think Arch Manning will be fine.
They need to run him more.
They got to get him out of the pocket.
They should have started him last year.
Ohio State's just a juggernaut.
I mean, so I wouldn't take too much out of that game, but it didn't go well.
There's no doubt.
That was not a strong showing.
But I think he'll be okay.
I'm rooting for the guy.
I think he'll be okay.
But yeah, that was.
But Ohio State, Ohio State's just a monster.
They're better than Texas.
Texas didn't belong a number.
Texas is not the number one team.
All those rankings are inflated at the beginning of the season because they just want the biggest TV ratings.
So they just put everybody on TV at the ranking.
I mean, how is the number one team with a brand new starting quarterback that just lost like 10 stars?
All right, we're off.
But you see, this is what we're going to do a little bit of here.
Some people might hate it, though.
Some people might not like that.
But you know what?
Some people will.
So this is what we're doing.
All right.
Next caller.
What's your name?
Where are you from?
unidentified
Nolan in Ohio.
owen shroyer
All right, Nolan.
Oh, and now we go to Ohio.
All right.
Go ahead.
unidentified
Yes, sir.
Yeah, I actually didn't get to watch the game, unfortunately, because my dad passed away on the same day.
owen shroyer
Well, I'm sorry to hear that.
unidentified
Yeah.
Very sudden.
He had pneumonia.
But anyway, I love the sports.
That's awesome.
Definitely something we should keep doing.
And I want to say that the very last caller that you had on the war room was me.
And I was asking you about, I said, I was watching your Rumble stream and I said, you said something about kind of getting burnt out on politics and all that.
And I called you and ended the show, the war room, with that saying, I hope you don't miss me too much.
And I knew something was going on there.
And I wasn't.
I'm really happy to have it for you.
And I'm glad you got away from InfoWars.
owen shroyer
Well, I'm not going anywhere.
I mean, I'm going to take a little break from the daily broadcasts this month.
But like I said, the launch date for the Owen Report, it'll be my three-hour show of nothing but news, three hours a day, 3 to 6 p.m. Central Weekdays.
It's going to launch, looks like October 6th.
We'll move it up if we can, but it looks like it's going to be October 6th, Monday, October 6th.
So I'm looking forward to it because I'm finally going to be able to do what I want to do.
I'm finally going to be able to do what I want to do in the way I want to do it and not have the impending person over your shoulder or the impending everything else that comes along with working at InfoWars.
So it's been a long time coming, quite frankly.
I wanted to go down with the ship because that was important to me.
It meant a lot to me.
I mean, that's like a legacy thing for me.
It would have been great.
I wish I could have done it.
But yeah, we just kind of reached a point of no return.
And as I said with my phone call with Alex a couple hours ago before I went on here, I told him I wanted to come in this week and I wanted to meet him in person and do everything in a positive and the right way.
And he said no.
So that's fine.
And that's what brought us here to tonight, which has been great.
I've had a great time with everybody.
Numbers are great.
Fundraising numbers are great.
So I'm extremely blessed.
I'm extremely fortunate.
I'm extremely blessed.
I am, you know, I am taking a big leap of faith.
I already told you, I'm going to sell my car.
I'm going to sell my house.
I'm going to go all in.
I'm going to bet all in on myself.
I'm going to build a studio.
I'm going to go down to basically nothing.
And, you know, hope that everything works.
But I think it will.
We've had a lot of positive support.
It's all up to God.
If God wants me to succeed, then we'll succeed.
And if not, he'll point me in a different direction.
But that's how I view this.
So, yeah, I mean, it's always kind of been like, it's never how I wanted it to go.
I mean, I even said it to Alex.
I said, Alex, I want to go down with the ship.
I want to go down with the ship.
And I don't want people to think there's any sort of a negative thing happening here.
But it didn't matter.
So, so that's all good.
It's all good.
We'll spend a month building a new thing and we'll launch in October.
And it's going to be great.
It's going to be fun.
And I hope it's a relief for Alex, too.
I hope it's a relief for me.
I hope it's a relief for Alex.
I hope it's better that he doesn't have to think about me or worry about me.
And maybe he can take the crew from the war room and dedicate it to stuff that he needs to do.
So I think it'll be overall good.
Hope so.
Hope so.
Let's take another caller.
What's your name?
Where are you from?
natalie in north dakota
Hey, this is Natalie from North Dakota.
owen shroyer
All right, Natalie, go ahead.
natalie in north dakota
Hey, so I spoke with you last year.
I actually had a crazy story about going through TSA.
And they were like patting me down and all this crazy stuff.
I'm like, oh, what about the illegals?
Come across the border.
And they're like, oh, yeah, give us some information.
And I'm like, yeah, how about off the real information?
Anyways.
You made a comment the other day.
I first wanted to ask you, were you actually on the Kill Tony show or were you just a guest in the audience?
owen shroyer
No, no, I was just a VIP guest.
natalie in north dakota
Oh, that's awesome.
owen shroyer
Yeah.
natalie in north dakota
I was excited to say if you were, if you were on the guest panel on the show, oh my gosh.
owen shroyer
That'd be fun.
natalie in north dakota
Yeah, especially with your new, sorry, my heart is beating out of my chest.
Let me take a deep breath.
owen shroyer
Yeah, just calm down.
I'll say this while you're while you're catching your wind here.
Tony was a really nice guy, really an awesome guy.
And I've been around enough celebrities to know, and I get it, but like most celebrities, most people with that level of following or fame, like they don't want to deal with people.
They don't.
And I get it.
You know, you never know who you're talking to, taking a picture with.
You just, you never know, whatever.
And so he had an after party and he was there the whole time.
He was there the whole time talking to people, meeting people, having drinks, having smokes.
I mean, just totally down to earth.
Great guy.
So I have nothing but positive things to say about Tony Hinchcliffe.
He was a real class act, really enjoyed his show.
And then afterwards, he's just a real great guy.
natalie in north dakota
That is so awesome.
Man, especially with you announcing your new roast segment, if you were to make a special appearance on Kill Tony and do one of his shows one time in the future, oh my gosh, that would be totally epic.
owen shroyer
I'd love to do that.
Maybe we can get there.
Yeah, the roast.
You know, an ideal sponsor would be a coffee company, right?
The roast, you know, brought to you by a coffee company.
But we'll see.
We'll see where it goes.
But yeah, I mean, I just look at, yeah, that's going to be one of the segments.
That's going to be one of the bits that I do.
I'll just do a five minute.
I'll just roast somebody.
I mean, just going to roast them or an idea or something.
But yeah, that's what we're going to do.
That's going to be one of the fun things that we do.
natalie in north dakota
Well, that's awesome.
And then another quick thing, I could see it in your eyes, especially with one of the most last callers.
The dude said he was your last caller on the war room before you took your vacation.
And I was listening.
I could see it in your face.
I could read energy and I was like, bro, he is long overdue for to get away.
And then, and I asked, I also, I wanted to publicly apologize to you.
I'm on X at NatRed67.
I was one of the people in the comments that was danning up for you or whatever because Alex came on the air an hour later and said that you had a family emergency.
And I was like, oh, he said he had a family emergency.
All these people were dogging you.
So I apologize.
That was me.
owen shroyer
Well, you were just trying to inform people that were asking questions and you just, you used, you gave the information that you got.
But yeah, you got that information.
So, I mean, take from that what you want, but that's.
natalie in north dakota
Yep.
And I don't blame you, bro.
I felt like it was a long time coming for you to be doing your own thing.
You are only two years older than me and you are an almost mirror image of my older middle brother.
So it's awesome.
Like I would be out in my backyard watering the plants and doing stuff and you'd be going on your brand and I'll be like, I'm right there with you, bro.
Like, yes, finally, someone is saying the things that I'm thinking.
owen shroyer
That's what we're going to do.
natalie in north dakota
Thank you, brother.
unidentified
I love it.
owen shroyer
That's what we're going to do.
We're going to be the voice of millions of Americans that don't have a voice.
We're going to be the voice of reason, consistency, integrity, truth.
And we're going to do it in the most classy, professional way that you've ever seen.
That's what we're going to do.
That's what we're going to do.
So that's what I'm going to pride myself on.
That's what I've always pride myself on.
That's how I've been trained.
That's how I've been studied.
And that's what we're going to do.
And I mean, I look at it like 20 years of me studying and working and learning everything I possibly can for this moment.
That's how I look at it.
I don't think there's anybody more prepared for this than me.
That's how I feel about it.
And I think everybody that supports everybody that listens, I think you're going to be proud.
I think you're going to be proud.
You're going to be happy.
And it's going to be, it's going to be your go-to show every day.
It's going to be your go-to show every day.
Just like the war room was, it's going to be your go-to show every day, but it's going to be even better.
And you're going to be even more confident and more comfortable in playing it out loud and sharing it with friends and family.
That's what we're going to do.
And we're going to bring millions of Americans together.
And we're going to love life.
And we're going to hate corrupt government.
Even though I don't like using the word hate, but we're not going to like it.
We're not going to be hate.
The government's not going to be getting away with anything on our watch.
Thank you for the call.
All right, let's keep going.
Next caller, what's your name?
Where you're from?
unidentified
Owen, brother, Zach in Austin, Texas.
owen shroyer
Zach, that I know?
unidentified
No, sir.
owen shroyer
Okay.
I do have a couple friends named Zach, so I wanted to know if this was my friends or not.
All right, Zach, go ahead.
unidentified
Hopefully I will be one.
And unlike a caller earlier, if I do see you in a grocery store, I will definitely be coming up to you to say hi and give you a hug.
owen shroyer
All right, just don't move too fast.
All right.
Don't move too fast.
Nice and calm.
unidentified
All right.
owen shroyer
Nice and calm.
unidentified
That makes a lot of sense.
Hey, man.
Not a whole lot to say.
I just wanted to say that never was really into Infowars, but man, I discovered you somewhere between six to 12 months ago.
And man, like many of the callers who've been calling in, you became my number one favorite political commentator.
Everything you say, I absolutely love.
I love that you've been talking about Israel.
It's like you said, it's the most important thing right now.
So, you know, as you make this transition, please don't stop that.
If anything, ramp it up, especially among young people, right?
Everyone's noticing.
And, man, it's just critical.
I mean, probably the one thing that stands out to me that I can say I disagree with you on is labeling it as a genocide, which you do not.
I just saw this video on YouTube, a little compilation of people who are apparently experts in the field who do label it as that.
But anyway, man, other than that, man, I love everything you're talking about, everything you say.
So appreciate you, bro.
owen shroyer
Let me just respond to two of those things.
First of all, thank you for the kind words.
And yes, that's what I'm trying to do.
You know, I don't want to waste too much time explaining this, but I just, you know, I try to get you inside of my head.
You know, to find, to find the path of least resistance in media while being true to yourself and just an honest person is hard to do.
And if you can do it, you know, you can be a massive success.
You can change hearts and minds.
And most importantly, perhaps most importantly, you really can improve people's quality of life.
You really can improve people's life and their attitude and their outlook.
And you really have to combine all of these things.
So I like fillet mignon, medium rare.
I like a bone in fillet specifically.
My favorite steak is a bone in filet, medium rare.
But you know what?
I don't like it shoved into my face.
I don't like it thrown at me.
You know?
I don't like it stomped on and then put on the plate.
We're going to deliver you the food you want on the plate in the most consumable, palatable, universal fashion possible.
It's what we're going to do.
It's what we're going to do.
So I'm excited to do it.
I know this is going to be a hell of a transition, and I'm looking forward to it.
And I just can't, I can't say enough.
The whole reason I'm here, I'm over four and a half hours live now.
We didn't take any breaks.
The only reason I'm still here is because of you.
I mean, this is like, I can't even.
It's like you, I want this to be about all of us and you calling in and saying the positive things and talking about the future and talking about what you want and talking about the things in the past and everything.
It's just, it's so meaningful to me, honestly, that I don't want to go away.
I just, I could be here all night.
I don't know.
It's only been four and a half hours.
But it's like, I could, I could, I could, I could talk to you guys and listen to you guys and just, it's just, it's just so great.
You know?
And it means a lot to me, really.
You will never be, you will never be taken for granted.
You will never be misled.
You will always be loved and appreciated.
I mean that.
Always.
I'll always think about that.
Never, never will be forgotten.
All right.
Well, we'll keep going.
Next caller, what's your name?
Where you're from?
bucktooth beaver in unknown
Sleepy Rick FEMA Region 5.
Long time no talk.
owen shroyer
Rick gets through.
bucktooth beaver in unknown
Yes, man.
Unbelievable.
You got 530,000 people watching live.
That's fantastic, brother.
But my dad called.
He said, something's up with Owen.
You better listen in.
owen shroyer
So are you getting the report?
Are you going to have to report back to him?
bucktooth beaver in unknown
He's listening right now.
owen shroyer
Oh, okay.
He's with us.
bucktooth beaver in unknown
Regardless of this, it's been a long time, and I've been meaning to do this for over a year.
That fake Albert is an absolute fucking clown.
You hear that, fake Albert?
You're a fucking clown.
unidentified
He doesn't seem like a very bright guy.
bucktooth beaver in unknown
No, he's definitely not a bright guy.
But hey, I will keep it quick because I know that there, one, you've been on for hours here.
And two, just much love to you.
Talent download from God.
Gonna listen to you wherever you're at, brother.
Amen.
Stay invincible.
And it's been a long time.
We'll have to reconnect.
owen shroyer
Amen.
Amen to that.
Talent on loan from God.
We're going to be doing sound drops too, by the way.
Get a little hint of that.
I plan on implementing that big time.
Next caller, what's your name where you're from?
unidentified
Well, it's your favorite person from California named Ventura.
owen shroyer
Oh, well, it's been a minute, man.
How are you doing?
unidentified
Good.
I got a new job and I got syndicated in radio and I got out of TV and things have been good since.
I've been.
owen shroyer
So, so the audience understands Ventura's been calling into my show since his voice sounded a lot higher pitched than it is today.
unidentified
Okay.
owen shroyer
You're a grown man now.
But you've started a career in media.
unidentified
Yeah.
So I started a career in FM radio and now I get paid to play love songs on the radio every night.
owen shroyer
Hey, you know what?
A lot of talk show hosts started as radio DJs.
So that's right on.
unidentified
Yeah.
Well, before I did VMS Talk Show, which sad that that tanked, was I started a little community station.
And then I was like, well, I wanted to be like Owen and Alex and go around town and interview people.
It's back when you used to do all those like interviewing people in the street.
You remember that when you did all that?
owen shroyer
Oh, yeah.
unidentified
Well, that was the inspiration.
So that's what I did for a while.
And then I did that for a couple of years, went to Pelosi's house, blew up this big story.
And then now I actually had to cross paths with her daughter.
So I can't really.
owen shroyer
The documentary, the documentary, daughter?
unidentified
Yeah.
Yeah.
So now, yeah, now I do love something stuff, but I'm very sorry about what happened with you and Alex.
And I definitely, you know, like a chance to talk off air about a couple of things.
owen shroyer
I think there's nothing to be sorry about.
This is all positive here tonight.
It is what it is.
There's nothing negative here.
I just had to do this tonight.
Well, we can absolutely talk.
I do believe we've messaged before, right?
You can message my DM, right?
unidentified
Yeah, I can.
I can.
owen shroyer
Well, let's talk.
I know you've been trying to work for me for a while.
Maybe we can facilitate something for you.
unidentified
Yeah, maybe this could be the break.
Who knows?
But I'm very happy for you.
And I see this as an opportunity for new beginnings.
And I know plenty of radio stations that would pick your show up in a heartbeat.
So I'll talk to you guys off air.
But for everybody listening, hello.
owen shroyer
Yeah.
Hey, Ventura, good to hear you.
Just send me a message, man.
Just send me a message with everything you want me to consider in our conversation.
So all that stuff.
And then, you know, I'll reach back out to you.
And maybe we can give you a break here.
unidentified
Great.
Sounds good.
I'll draft up some stuff.
It's shooting your way.
Perfect.
owen shroyer
Awesome.
Bright, bright young kid.
Hard worker right there.
No doubt about that.
All right.
Wow.
A bit overwhelmed.
Been on air over four and a half hours here.
I can't believe the numbers.
Almost 600,000 live.
We've got almost 10,000 in the fundraiser.
Maybe I stay live till we get 10,000.
You want to get me up to 10,000 and let me go to bed here?
Go to go to the fundraiser, Owen.help.
We're at 8,800 right now.
I'll go to 10,000.
Once we hit 10,000, I'll call it a night.
Actually, that'll stop you from donating, won't it?
So now I can't do that.
So now I've screwed myself.
Now you want me here all night.
You're never going to donate again.
We'll try to make it till 10.
It's getting a little hot and stuffy in here.
I think I need to turn my studio fan on.
If I don't get to 10,000 soon, I might have to do that.
It's literally hot in here now.
I need to crank the AC or something.
All right, but we'll keep taking calls, folks.
Remember the fundraiser, owen.help.
Or if you want to be a part of the new network as a client, a sponsor, you want to help in some other ways, support at media.win.
Obviously, nothing but sponsorship opportunities for me to help you market your company and for you to help fund the new network.
So support at media.win.
Give us some time to get back to everybody there.
But that's what we're going to do.
All right.
Thank you.
Next caller.
What's your name?
Where are you from?
unidentified
Owen, how's it going?
owen shroyer
It's good.
What's your name?
Where are you from?
unidentified
I'm Palam Joan from South Carolina.
Brother, if you're thinking about moving, come on down to the street.
owen shroyer
No, no, no, no, no.
I'm staying in Texas.
I'm going to stay mostly in Austin.
I'll probably just move out of Travis County.
But no, I want to stay in Austin.
My life is here.
My social groups are here.
I like Austin a lot.
I'll just move out of Travis County.
But I will be in South Carolina to speak at an event on September 16th.
So I'll post more information about that on my ex this week.
But I will be in South Carolina, Columbia on the 16th.
tom in chicago
All right.
unidentified
Columbia is like 45 minutes from me.
Looking forward to coming down to that, brother.
owen shroyer
There you go.
There you go.
unidentified
Hey, by the way, I moved to South Carolina from the communist state of Washington, lived in Seattle for 17 years, man.
Moved over there on a whim.
Had a girlfriend who ended up being my wife.
Said she had a friend that had a good, good experience out in Seattle.
So I went on monster.com.
This was, you know, 20 years ago.
owen shroyer
When you could get a job there.
unidentified
I'm in construction.
So it was electrical construction, moved there and had a great time, but it was a different place 17 years ago.
And I've got a 16-year-old and now I've got a six-year-old over here.
And we just had to get out of that place, man.
It was crazy.
Like, why are they letting there's no accountability to anything?
Like, how can you grow a family up in a place where there's no accountability?
It's just insane, man.
owen shroyer
No, it's insane for sure.
The difference that you, you know, you can perceive a difference.
Let's say, oh, I've never lived in California, but I can perceive it, or I've never lived in Florida.
I can perceive it.
No, when you've actually lived that difference, it's wild.
I mean, it's just crazy.
unidentified
Yeah, I took my son down to Third and Pike before we left.
I was like, I want you to see what we're dealing with.
Like, I want you to see this and understand why we're moving you right before you're going to high school.
And we parked the car, walked around the corner, and there's, you know, someone smoking up right next to police officers that are like just kind of leisurely kicking to you to see if they're awake.
owen shroyer
So somebody asked me, somebody asked Deion Sanders, the coach of the University of Colorado football team, and they said, coach, I don't know if you saw this clip.
It was hilarious.
They said, coach, what's the one thing about coaching in Boulder, Colorado?
What's the one thing that sticks out to you about when you coach a game?
I think it's called Folsom Field.
You're coaching at Folsom Field.
He goes, man, this is kind of strange, but every time, first TV timeout, second quarter, it's just the whole place smells like weed.
unidentified
I mean, it's like without the whole place just reeks like weed, man.
As soon as that second quarter TV timeout hit, the whole place, everybody lights up.
owen shroyer
It's like, man, that's it smells, man.
So, yeah, I get it.
And that's why, like, I don't really care.
People want to smoke weed.
Doesn't bother me.
I mean, it should be legal anyway.
But part of me is like, I don't want it to be legal in Texas just because I know what it's going to do to the culture.
You know, I've seen what it's done.
I've been to Denver before and after.
I've been to St. Louis before and after.
And it's just like, you just, weed should be legal anyway.
It shouldn't matter.
But it's just sad.
unidentified
Yeah.
owen shroyer
It just becomes such a culture thing.
It's like people just want to like pothead out on the streets now.
And it's like, I don't want to see that.
I don't want to see it.
I don't want to deal with it.
I don't want it.
unidentified
Once you start to enable it, I mean, where's the bottom line?
You know what I mean?
owen shroyer
It's like, well, I mean, again, I kind of think all drugs should be legal.
Actually, I'd legalize all drugs, quite frankly.
unidentified
Oh, why not?
But with boundaries.
owen shroyer
Exactly.
Exactly.
Yeah, I mean, you can't get drunk.
There's public intoxication laws and all kinds.
So there's ways you can do it.
But yeah.
unidentified
Hey, brother, don't want to take up too much of your time.
Love you.
Appreciate what you're doing.
And I'm going to be there with you, man.
owen shroyer
I appreciate that.
Thank you for the call.
Thank you very much.
All right, guys.
You got to help me out.
Now, now I am going to ask.
Get me up to 10K so I can sign off.
I'm hungry.
I'm thirsty.
unidentified
I'm tired now.
owen shroyer
Go to owen.help and get me up to 10K.
We're going to sign off.
I'll stay here till 10K.
Just come on, guys.
We're close.
We're $1,000 away.
We've got over half a million people tuned in right now.
So just a couple hundred people.
Just go get five bucks, get me up to 10K so we can put this, we can put this emergency breaking announcement to rest for the night.
And I can start going through my hundreds of messages and emails and everything else that I look forward to doing.
I really actually, that's what I want to do.
That's why I keep picking up my phone because I'm so anxious to see.
I've had a lot of big names reach out that I want to read their messages.
So I'm excited to get into that.
So please, guys, go to Owen.help.
Get me up to 10K so I can sign off tonight.
All right.
Get me there.
Just a thousand to go.
Just go.
Owen.help.
Just a little bit goes a long way now.
All right.
Next caller.
What's your name?
Where are you from?
unidentified
Hi.
Laura, East Texas.
owen shroyer
All right, Laura, go ahead.
unidentified
Okay.
My question is, you're my kid's age.
What does your mother think about you selling your house and your car and doing this?
owen shroyer
Well, I actually talked to my mom about this.
We've had a couple conversations, and I've talked about this with her before.
So it's not like this came out of nowhere for her.
And then we had a talk after I walked off Thursday, and she was a little like not so sure.
She thought I might be going about it the wrong way.
Then we had a talk again today, and she was like, I mean, really, she said, Owen, I've prayed on it.
And I 100% support you.
And I think you're doing the right thing.
unidentified
So I can understand.
She worries like most mothers do.
and I'm sure she supports you.
I just was curious how she was feeling about the whole thing.
owen shroyer
Well, look, I don't know.
My mom, she actually called into the show when I was in prison.
Maybe I'll reshare that video clip sometime.
unidentified
Oh, my God.
owen shroyer
Look, look, my mom is basically a saint.
I mean, honestly, she's like a saint.
And I have, she has dealt with so much with me.
I mean, I'm sure she could tell stories for days.
I've been a handful.
I've been a handful for her for a long time.
unidentified
I have three of them that way.
So I can totally understand.
owen shroyer
But, you know, despite all the trouble I've gotten in and all the trouble I've caused, there's no shortage of that.
Like, you know, I always got straight A's in high school.
I've always been a good, hard worker.
I've had a good work ethic.
You know, I've never really, I've never really wronged anybody.
You know, I've never really made an enemy out of anybody.
So that's just kind of always been the story.
Yeah, I think she was, you know, she might have been a little concerned.
And, you know, I think it was more about she just wanted to make sure I was doing it the right way than anything else.
I think she probably trusts me enough now to know that I'm going to make the right decisions for myself.
She was just more concerned about, you know, am I doing it the right way and everything.
But no, we had a conversation earlier today.
She was, she's, you know, she's fully supportive of it.
unidentified
Well, I'm sure she is, but just I'm sure she just worries.
If you're going to sell your house and your car, she's going to worry.
owen shroyer
Well, can you imagine when I've been, I don't know how many times I've been to jail.
I mean, so she's been, she's had to worry about much worse.
unidentified
Oh my gosh.
Yes.
Okay.
Yeah, you're, I'm sure you're right.
Oh, my God.
owen shroyer
Yeah, selling, selling my house and car is like the least of what I've put her through.
unidentified
But if you're going to sell all that and stay in the Austin area, are you going to be better off doing that?
Because you've owned the house for a while, correct?
owen shroyer
Well, here's what sucks.
And it's been a learning experience in the real estate market.
I mean, I'm going to get crushed.
I actually, I actually, I got to get out of Travis County, though, because I'm lawsuit bait here for the rest of my life.
The Democrats own the whole city.
I get frivolously sued.
I get ridiculous lawsuits that would be tossed out in any other court, but here they stick around because it's, you know, it's a bunch of Democrat activists.
So I got to get out of Travis County.
No, what sucks is, and now the whole Trump team is talking about trying to fix the housing market.
And so it's like, well, geez, now do I wait?
No, it sucks.
I'm basically going to lose all the equity in my house.
And I'm probably going to have a much higher mortgage payment because the interest rate.
unidentified
That's why people, that's why people don't sell.
owen shroyer
It sucks.
unidentified
Why would I fail?
owen shroyer
But see, here's the thing.
Another legal thing, if they jones me, which they're planning on doing to me, like they did to Jones, if they jones me, I can't, you, they can take houses.
So it's not like I can keep my house and rent it out as a, you know, a rental property because they'll take it.
So they can only, the Texas law basically protects one house, one car, and some other stuff.
So they can't, they can't put you, you know, on the streets.
You still get to own one house and one car and some other trinkets.
But yeah, I'm basically going to lose all my equity.
I'm probably going to have a higher mortgage payment.
It sucks.
It's a total joke how bad the housing market is.
And that's why it pisses me off when, oh, Trump's, oh, the economy's.
No, it's not.
It's not.
The economy is horrible.
The economy is dead ass horrible right now.
It's bad.
It's bad for the average American.
unidentified
Believe me, I do good enough.
owen shroyer
I do good enough.
And I live paycheck to paycheck.
And I do fine.
I'm not complaining.
I live a comfortable life, but it's like, I don't have, I can't, there's no money for me to put into savings.
And so that's just the difference.
It's not like, I mean, again, I hadn't gotten a raise since like 2018.
Now, everything has basically doubled in cost since 2018.
So what had some space for saving or extra stuff, that's not there anymore because of the new economy.
The economy is horrible.
The housing market is horrible.
I even crunch the numbers.
I would have been better off renting.
See, this is the signs where you know you're in a bad market and a rigged market.
I would have been better off renting since I moved here than buying a house by the numbers.
Now, depending on what I can get for it, but it's very, it's very unlikely I'll get any equity out of my house.
I mean, I'll be lucky.
It's a small chance.
We're going to fix some stuff up and maybe we'll be able to do it.
I would have been better off renting.
When the real estate market presents an environment where it makes more financial sense to rent than to buy, then the housing market is fudged and fudged badly.
Okay.
So that's a big issue.
But no, I like Austin.
My life is here.
I really enjoy the city.
I just need to get out of Travis and I need a bigger house.
I need a bigger house so I can build a studio.
Plus, you know, they dox me here.
They send death threats to me here and everything else.
They've already doxed me.
They sent the cops here to point guns at me.
So, you know, there's also that factor.
But no, I like Austin a lot.
I got a lot of friends here.
It's a very happening town.
So I don't really want to move.
But, you know, I'm glad you asked about my dear loving mother.
She'll appreciate that.
Thank you.
All right.
Next caller.
What's your name?
Where are you from?
unidentified
Hey, Owen.
This is Joseph from Vegas.
How are you doing?
owen shroyer
All right, Joseph.
Go ahead.
unidentified
Hey.
Well, first off, I was just going to say all respect to you, and I hope you do very well in your new endeavors.
You've been part of my everyday routine.
owen shroyer
So just bear with me.
Just bear with me.
Be patient for a month.
And we're going to be right back into that routine.
All right, brother.
unidentified
All right.
Sounds good.
I haven't missed one minute of your show in like a year and a half was when I first started watching.
I do go to disagree with you on your take about the housing market and everything.
I know it's been tough.
I mean, I'm 27 years old.
I just bought my first house about a few months ago.
I just moved in.
And, you know, with student loans, people sign the dotted line.
It's a predatory loan.
They know that.
owen shroyer
Yeah.
No, you're right.
I'm the same way.
I paid about it.
I did.
I think I paid like 96 grand in student loans all paid off.
But yeah.
unidentified
Good for you.
But still.
owen shroyer
I mean, I got a degree in psychology that I wasn't going to use.
So then I went back to finish a degree in media studies.
So, you know, and I went to an expensive university for a couple years.
unidentified
And it's like a credit card.
Like, you're not supposed to use the credit part of it.
Yeah.
owen shroyer
Well, I paid it all off.
I mean, I paid up.
My credit rating is like 810 now.
So, I mean, but it's just like, even that stuff's stupid.
The credit, the whole credit rating is dumb anyway.
unidentified
Who would like to blame everything on student loans?
It's like.
owen shroyer
Well, here's the thing.
I understand.
I understand both trains of thought.
That's why, I mean, yeah, you signed the dotted line just like I did.
So, yeah, so you have to pay it.
I mean, that's how it is.
But I do think, though, but I think, yeah, I think that while we can sit here and say, hey, you signed the line, we can also sit here and admit it's a predatory system.
A college degree is not worth it.
There's many ways to go about it that's cheaper.
And the interest rate should be criminal.
And an 18-year-old, really, I mean, there's not much else an 18-year-old could get a $100,000 loan on.
Probably nothing else, actually, except that.
So, yeah, the whole system is predatory.
So, two things can be true.
The system is predatory and virtually criminal, but also you signed the dotted line.
That's on you.
unidentified
That is.
And, you know, I got talked into trade school by my dad.
And it was the best decision of my life.
I've been an HVAC mechanic.
And, you know, it does the thing for me.
So I really love it.
and there's a lot of good fields like that that people are just not getting into yeah just want if anyone young well it's a guaranteed income I would say it's a safe, guaranteed income.
owen shroyer
And it gives you, once you lock that down, you can kind of just do whatever you want.
You can work that for your life or you can work that and work on something else.
unidentified
I just was reminiscing.
I was thinking about what was the funniest thing I've seen because you're a funny guy.
I love watching your show.
It's great news.
But you also, you know, you're a pretty funny guy.
owen shroyer
We're going to be laughing.
We're going to be having a lot of laughs as well.
We're going to be having fun.
unidentified
I just was recalling.
I remember when the Olympics was going on.
And I remember when they had the panel and they were like, we don't know what the female is.
If someone could define what a female is, then we will acknowledge it.
Because they were just like, they didn't know if they were going to have females and males and transgender in the Olympics.
And they said that if you could define a female.
owen shroyer
And then it turns out they were actually dudes.
unidentified
Yeah, yeah.
And then I remember you were like, hey, bud, let me take you to Austin this weekend.
I'll show you what a female is.
That shit, I'd be dead.
Every time I think about that shit, I fucking crack up to my fucking core.
So I really love your show.
And I respect what you're doing.
So go get it, Tiger.
Appreciate that.
owen shroyer
Appreciate that.
We're going to be having a lot of fun.
I promise you that.
We're going to be having a lot of fun.
And, you know, I mean, honestly, I look at it like this.
And by the way, we've just gone over 10K.
So God bless you guys.
I love you.
I love you out there.
We've gone over 10K.
So once I hit the five-hour mark here, I'm going to start signing off.
We'll take another call.
We'll go for five hours and then we'll sign off.
You know, really what the kind of longer-term plan, I've kind of told you, like, we're going to do the three-hour daily show, just news.
We're going to do separate interviews that'll just be standalone interviews.
And then Owen Schroyer Live will be kind of the more, you know, zaney, crazy stuff at night.
So that's kind of what we're doing out of the gates.
And then once I'm able to build and have a better revenue stream and a bigger budget, then we're going to start getting into a lot of the other stuff.
Then we're going to really start having a lot more fun.
So I really have a great vision for everything.
I didn't expect everything to happen so abruptly and to end this way, but it is what it is.
So let me just do that.
I'll take another call.
But again, folks, just to kind of just to kind of wrap things up, if you're just tuning in, okay, the big announcement.
I'm officially done at InfoWars.
I didn't anticipate it to go this way.
There's been, you know, there's been some problems last couple of weeks.
I think anybody that watches every day could have seen that.
I took some time off thinking that, okay, maybe it's just, I just need some time off or maybe things can get better.
Neither of those things ended up being the case.
Walked off the show last Thursday because of just some of the same issues.
So I walked off the show Thursday.
It's no family emergency.
I did walk off.
And then I told Alex I was done for the week.
Let's have a meeting next week.
Thought that would be the case.
I talked to him today.
I said, hey, let's meet tomorrow.
I'd like to meet you and talk to you in the studio, the office tomorrow.
We can get this sorted out.
He said, no.
And he called me.
We had about a 20, 30 minute phone call.
I said, I'd like to come in and finish this week.
I'd like to make the announcement on your show and make it very positive and shake your hand and do it in front of the InfoWars audience.
Everything else.
He said, no, we don't need you.
Good luck.
Don't come in this week.
And then I fired up this live stream.
So I am officially out at InfoWars.
I'm not here to say anything bad about Alex.
I'm not here to turn this into something.
Honestly, I hope Alex never thinks about me or even talks about me again.
And I don't mean that as some negative thing.
I mean, like, I want him to be able to do his show and do his thing and not have to think about me.
I don't want to be a thorn in his side.
I don't want to be a thought in his head.
I hope he goes on air tomorrow and has a great show and doesn't even mention me.
Honestly, I hope that's how it goes.
I don't want to, I don't want to turn it into a thing.
It's not a thing to me.
It was a mutual.
All right.
I'm going.
It's a mutual.
I'm done.
Okay, fine.
It wasn't how I wanted to do it, but fine.
unidentified
It's mutual.
owen shroyer
So that's that.
So, September, I'm going to be laying the foundation and the groundwork for a new network.
It's going to be called the World Independent News Network.
I'm hoping I can get a good fundraiser here and I can build a new studio.
This is a nice studio.
I did build this.
It's a nice studio, but it's not a main studio.
This is nice for a secondary studio and needing to go emergency broadcast or have some fun, but it's not good for a main studio.
So hoping I can do a big fundraiser, build a main studio.
And then October 6th, the plan is, we'll see, it could change.
But Monday, October 6th, I'm going to be back in my time slot, 3 to 6 p.m. weekdays with the Owen report.
Three hours a day, just news, just me covering the news, old school style, American anchor man style, classical broadcast style.
No gimmicks, no going out of business sales, no, no hook line and sinker, clickbait stuff, no sensationalism, no buy this, you're going to die or whatever.
No, we're going classical, traditional broadcast, three hours a day, and then I'll do side interviews, I'll do sideshows, and I'll do a bunch of other stuff.
But that's what we're doing.
And I appreciate all the support tonight.
I appreciate all the kind words and everything.
I haven't even, I haven't even gotten into my phone.
You know, I've got a ton of stuff to get to on my phone the rest of the night.
The fundraiser has been a success.
You know, I set this thing up because, look, I don't want to do the fundraiser thing.
I don't want to do the fundraiser thing.
I don't want to do the, I need your support.
I'm going out of business thing.
I don't want to do that.
I want to do a classical style where we have sponsors and they support the show and they get a return on investment.
And that's how I want to fund things.
I don't want to do this type stuff.
I had to do this tonight.
But I mean, really, I mean, I probably, I was thinking, it's like, really to build the studio I want is going to cost like $50,000.
But I didn't want to come on here and make a big thing about it, make a big push for money because I don't want it to feel that way.
I don't want it to be that way to you.
I don't want it to be about that.
But that's what's going to happen.
The fundraiser is going to be used to build a new studio.
And just like you saw me build this studio, which is very nice and great, you're going to see an even better studio once this is all done.
So I ask for your patience in this transition.
I'm still going to be doing video reports on X. I'm just going to pick a couple big news stories every day, do two or three minute video reports on specific news stories.
We'll do a couple of those a day.
May fire up some nightly streams, Owen Schroyer Live here on X and Rumble.
But mostly it's going to be laying the groundwork, building the foundation to launch the Wind Network and launch the Owen report on Monday, October 6th.
And then we're going to be back in the normal time slot three hours a day doing what we do best.
So that's the plan.
And I can't say enough thank yous for the kind words and for the fundraiser tonight.
That really means everything.
And we're going to make it, we're going to make it worth your while.
You're going to be very happy with what the Owen report is.
If you're in it for three hours a day for news, you're going to get exactly what you want better than ever.
All right.
Final caller.
What's your name?
Where are you from?
bart in georgia
This is highly appropriate.
I'm so sorry to hear this.
Got him late.
You gave me my first call on Infowars.
And love you, bro.
And I'm always supporting you.
owen shroyer
All right.
Well, Bart doesn't even have to say his name because we know who he is.
So there it is, Bart.
bart in georgia
Yeah, Bart finding Georgia.
Hey, Owen Schroeder gave me my starting calling in.
I've called him Infowars like 600 times now, and it's been a distinguished honor and a privilege, like I heard you say before.
owen shroyer
Well, God bless you, man.
God bless you.
bart in georgia
Yeah, God's going to bless you, Alan, because you deserve it.
owen shroyer
Oh, thank you.
bart in georgia
I'm not going to take up your time.
I want you to, I'm pretty known.
I'm praying for you.
While you're in prison, I was on the line organizing multi-religious prayers for you.
I don't care what religion they were.
I have them praying for you.
And I'll still continue that.
And we're going to run into each other somewhere.
Good luck, bro.
We love you.
Can't wait.
owen shroyer
Thank you.
Thank you.
All right.
There it is.
We just hit the five-hour mark.
Five hours.
Yeah, I think I've said it all.
I think I've said it all.
And, you know, I really look forward.
It's going to be tough for me the next month as well.
You know, it's not like I don't like being on air every day.
Believe me, I love it.
That's my passion.
You know, that's my muse.
So it'll be tough for me the next month, but I feel like this is more, it's more than just my life's dream.
It's really like even more my calling.
And my and we're going to create a legacy.
We're going to create a legacy that's going to be unmatched by many.
And we're just going to start it.
We're just starting it tonight.
This is just the beginning.
And I love all of you.
I love you.
I love all you.
There's nothing other I can really say.
Now I just have to pick the right sign-off song, which is so important now.
You know?
It's so important to pick the right sign-off.
I had an idea of where I wanted to go with it, but now I've changed my mind.
Maybe, you know what?
unidentified
Maybe we'll stick with the fuel.
owen shroyer
We'll stick with the fuel.
I was going to go with Volbeat, but I've changed my mind.
I'm going to stick with the fuel now.
And we'll go out with fuel.
So appreciate everybody for tuning in.
So I won't be on InfoWars tomorrow.
You can catch me on X, catch me on Rumble.
I'll continue to keep you posted there.
I'll continue to do political coverage there.
But that's it.
I'm not going to be on InfoWars tomorrow.
Not going to, I don't know if I'll ever be on InfoWars again.
Probably not.
And we're going to build the World Independent News Network, and we're going to launch the Owen Report on October 6th.
And I'm very much looking forward to it.
And I appreciate everybody that tuned in.
I appreciate everybody's kind words.
I appreciate everybody's contributions at Owen.help.
I appreciate any potential sponsors that want to work with us that have emailed me at support at media.win.
And that's going to do it.
That's going to do it.
So enjoy this great fuel as we call it tonight.
And you will see me tomorrow.
Definitely at least on X. God bless.
Godspeed.
I love you all.
bart in georgia
God bless you, Owen.
