Owen Shroyer announces his abrupt exit from InfoWars after Alex Jones allegedly dismissed him with "we don’t need you" and refused a planned in-person farewell, citing creative control issues and financial stagnation since 2018. Launching WIN Network on October 6th, The Owen Report—a three-hour daily news show—will avoid sensationalism, prioritize election integrity (like Maricopa County’s ballot controversies), and expand via Rumble, Spotify, and X. Frustrated by legal threats in Austin’s Travis County and past censorship, Shroyer frames his departure as a shift toward independence, generational leadership, and truth over partisan noise, despite personal sacrifices like selling assets and enduring lawsuits.

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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Israel First Politics00:09:22
unidentified
That's about my beliefs, my thoughts.
And the Fed asked me, do you plan on going to the Capitol January 6th?
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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?
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.
Taking the Leap00:06:41
unidentified
And I called you and ended the show, the war room, with that saying, I hope you don't miss me too much.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
