Owen Shroyer, host of The Owen Report, expresses his controversial views on political events like the January 6th incident, COVID-19 pandemic, and the 2020 election, aligning himself with Donald Trump and criticizing mainstream media bias. Technical difficulties during a live broadcast prompt Shroyer to joke about "tech demons" while engaging with supportive callers and discussing a range of topics from James Bond movies to upcoming debates.

Ladies and gentlemen, it is Tuesday, October 7, 2025, and this is the Owen Report.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, let me tell you what we have coming up for you today.
A lot of action in Washington, D.C., despite the government shutdown happening.
And a bunch of lazy, corrupt bums that worked there, but there was a lot of action there today.
Now, did you hear about Pam Bondi's Senate hearing today?
Did you hear about that?
We're going to have some clips from that for you, and we're going to get into all of the headlines.
She talked about Epstein.
She talked about the illegal spying on Americans by the FBI.
But it's funny.
It's funny today as we sit here and watch all these members of Congress complaining about the illegal spying.
You voted for it.
You literally voted for it.
But oh, now that you're the target, all of a sudden you have a problem.
So when the Americans were complaining and asked you not to vote to expand the surveillance state, you did it anyway.
But now you're being spied on and you got a problem.
Isn't that funny?
So we'll get into all of that.
And then this actually ties back into the Obama years.
This is not even new.
They've been caught spying on Americans so many times, it's getting old.
And then they go in front of Congress like the Obama administration and they say, well, we don't wittingly spy on Americans.
An absolute lie from James Clapper.
He's not in prison, though.
President Trump was busy today as well.
He got a visit from the Canadian prime minister, Mark Carney, was at the White House.
They talked trade and seem to be enjoying one another's company.
And of course, the backdrop of all of this is the government shutdown.
It's a fake government shutdown.
It's a political football.
It's mostly nonsense, but the government shutdown is getting real today.
There are some real things happening now, so we'll talk about that.
And then there's some Epstein news, some Maxwell news.
It'll all tie in back to Pam Bondi's statements from earlier today as well.
And yes, we have a geopolitical stack over here.
It is, I'm sure you've heard of it probably a hundred times, the two-year anniversary of October 7th.
And it just gets annoying because nobody wants to talk about the fact it was a stand down.
So, okay, hey, I don't like what happened to those innocent people at a music festival.
It's not good, but Israel stood down.
You just want to leave that out of it?
You want to leave it out that those Israelis, many of them would probably still be alive and not be hostages if it wasn't for the actions of the Netanyahu regime or whoever called for the stand down?
I don't know.
But you won't hear much about that today.
The cost of war, a new study has come out.
How much has the United States spent on the Israel wars since October 7th?
These numbers might shock you.
They might not if you've been following it.
But it should upset every American that this is what's going on.
Especially there's this, I don't know if it's Chinese propaganda or what's going on on X, and maybe it's just my algorithm.
Maybe you've seen it too.
But I'm seeing all this stuff from China now and their new infrastructure and everything else.
I like it, so maybe it is the algorithm.
And I'm just saying, hey, I wish my country could build new stuff and cool stuff like this.
I don't want to be a communist country.
I don't want to have a social credit score.
I don't want to live in a surveillance state, but we don't have to have that.
Like, we can have nice stuff without that.
It'd be nice if we did.
But when you spend this much money on war, yeah, you're going to have a problem.
Obrego Garcia, this guy just, it just won't go away.
Most of the technical stuff I think we have taken care of today.
It should be a lot less clunky today.
I don't know.
I was so focused on the technical side of things and running the whole show yesterday that I don't even know.
It was like I talked to some people afterwards.
I was like, I don't remember what I covered, what I talked about, because I was just trying to manage everything.
But once I get into the flow, everything will feel a lot better.
We do still have some things.
I can't get that camera that shut off on me yesterday.
I can't get it on now.
So I got to figure what that.
So we got this shot today.
This is not a normal shot that I intend on having, but we'll go with it today.
I like it for today at least.
But other than that, it was really great.
We had a lot of positive reviews, a lot of positive reports.
I appreciate everybody that tuned in yesterday.
Really appreciate that.
We're going to get a little more formatted today, but I think just so you know the plan moving forward here.
Just so you know the plan moving forward, you know, I told the producer to probably just wait to start producing the live show next week.
So on Monday, I don't know.
We may have him pop in once or twice this week to kind of get a feel for it, but I'm thinking that will likely be on Monday of next week because I kind of want to just run everything myself so that I can discover all of the different bugs and all of the different issues so that when the producer comes on, it'll be easier for me to kind of let's say guide and direct, if you will.
And I'd like to maybe monitor the comments a little more.
Eventually, I'd like to do that.
I don't know if we're going to be able to do that today, but I would like to monitor the comments a little bit more.
We'll see.
We're going to try to do it all.
We're going to try to do it all.
But we'll do what we can no matter what.
All right.
Where should we start today?
Let's start from the White House.
Let's start from the White House today.
Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney, was in the White House.
Carney wins praise from Trump, but no trade deal yet.
And I'm looking at some of these developments.
They did seem to get along.
Trump does get along with most world leaders, but they seem to get along quite nicely today.
Trump softens Canada trade talk, but warns some federal workers over back pay.
Well, we'll get to the government shutdown news coming up.
Trump predicts that Canada will love us again in meeting with Carney.
Well, I think Canadians love us a lot.
I think it's their own government that they have a problem with.
I think it's Carney that they have a problem with.
Trump says U.S. and Canada have natural conflict on trade as he meets Kearney in White House.
Well, yeah, you could say we're natural competitors on some trade, but then I would say, well, why won't we just crush them?
Just crush them.
It's not my problem.
We should be crushing Canada on trade.
We should be crushing the entire world on trade.
But instead, we've been getting crushed because we've had bad leadership.
A lot of stuff going on in the markets, by the way.
A lot of stuff going on in the markets.
And it's all really going one direction.
It's all very tech heavy.
And when you follow this stuff, I mean, man.
Insider trading.
I don't think there's any shortage of insider trading happening right now in Washington, D.C. Not from what I'm seeing.
And if you know, if you know how to follow the stock market and follow the insider trading, you can actually, you can actually do pretty well right now because it's never been more obvious.
And I'm not going to pretend like I've been following the market for years, but I've been pretty steady following the stock market, definitely this year.
And you can pretty much see where the insider trading is going on.
And if you get in soon enough, you can do pretty well for yourself.
But I don't want to feel bad.
Oh, I'm sorry, Canada.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, Canada, that we're crushing you on trade.
Maybe we should just make Canada the 51st state.
I didn't really like the idea at first, but you know what?
If they're going to be a competitor in trade, why don't we just, why don't we just crush them on trade?
Or why don't we just make them a 51st state?
But I don't know.
That comes with other issues.
So, okay, now we've got the shutdown.
We've got the shutdown that's going on.
Trump threatens no back pay for shutdowns furloughed workers.
Oh, they were getting back pay?
Yeah, they always get that back pay.
So they basically get free money.
The whole thing is a joke.
The government shutdown.
Now, some people are being impacted.
Let's not pretend like nobody is impacted by this, but it's a very small percentage of Americans impacted by this.
Now, it got worse today.
It got worse today because of some issues at airports.
But, you know, Trump seems to be kind of digging in here.
But isn't this what Doge was supposed to be about?
So Trump is talking about firing millions of workers.
He's talking about not paying the people that haven't been working with the shutdown.
And it's like, well, yeah, okay.
Isn't this what Doge was supposed to be all about?
Doge was supposed to save the country half a trillion dollars.
And Musk thought he could even go above a trillion dollars.
And then they just booted him.
They ran him out of town.
Government shutdown.
The government shutdown should be methodical, measured, and permanent.
The Democrats are not doing this for political reasons, folks.
They care about your health care.
That's what it is.
That's why they vote to spend all this money overseas and foreign aid and Ukraine and Israel and all these other wars because they care about your health care.
That money could be going to your health care.
That money could be going to Americans, health care, and hospitals and everything else.
But the Democrats really care about your health care.
That's why they're shutting down the government.
And then they play these political games.
It's all about getting bad headlines for Trump.
That's what this whole thing is about.
The Democrats don't give a damn about you, let alone your health care.
Quite frankly, if a Democrat was being honest, if a Democrat politician, and maybe all politicians, but the Republicans don't really fake it like that.
If a Democrat drank some truth serum and you said, do you care about Americans' healthcare?
They'd say, screw the Americans.
They're better off dead.
I think that would be the honest Democrat.
Gavin Newsom hits Trump over government shutdown after FAA Warren Airport would have no air traffic controllers.
Burbank Airport resumes flights after hours with no air traffic controllers amid government shutdown.
You know, that seems a little off.
Why would one airport have that problem and not the rest?
That doesn't seem to make any sense.
Flight delays begin as air traffic staffing shortages worsen.
Folks, if you're flying during this shutdown, I would be prepared.
I would be prepared for some delays.
It looks like that's what's getting hit with it right now.
Government shutdown hits air travel, closing Burbank control tower and causing delays across the country.
And that's what happens in a single day.
If you get one massive delay at one airport, it's like a domino effect, and then it just affects the entire country.
So, but what's the truth?
The truth is the truth is, it was the Democrats that are stopping the government from being open right now.
And they don't want it open because they want to take all the negative headlines and then they want to use them to bash President Trump.
That's what it's really all about.
They don't give a damn about your health care.
All Obamacare did was make it harder to get good health care.
And most people's premiums went up.
But I'm not here to have a debate about Obamacare.
But this is what they do: the Democrats want it shut down.
And then the Republicans say, oh, it's so they can have health care for illegals.
It doesn't matter.
The Democrats want it shut down so that things can go bad and they can blame Trump.
Everything else is a political football.
And it's not even a real shutdown.
It's a fake shutdown.
Most of the government is still operating just fine.
The things that the government does against us not being stopped.
That's still going on.
So it's this giant political football game where the Democrats shut it down and then they blame it on Trump and then they use the headlines to attack Trump.
And all of their friends in the media, they've been doing it all day long.
They've been doing it all day long.
Oh, it's Trump.
Trump shut the government down.
Trump caused flight delays.
Trump's going to cause, you know, they go with the one, there's some deal where there's a federal fund for single mothers.
And, you know, so Trump's killing babies.
It's like, hey, yeah.
The Democrats get behind closed doors and they scheme and they say, we're going to shut down the government and then we're going to blame Trump for everything.
Oh, airport delays?
Blame Trump.
Oh, oh, federal funds for single mothers are about to dry up.
Oh, Trump's going to starve babies.
Yeah, that's the headline.
And then they'll turn it into a political ad because that's what they do.
That's what our lying scumbag politicians do.
And Republicans do it too.
In fact, I got a whole thing here of the Republicans being such phonies and such frauds.
So Ron Johnson comes out.
Or no, it was Chuck Grashley.
Excuse me.
Chuck Grassley comes out with this document this morning that shows how the FBI was spying on members of Congress.
Oh, and now Republicans are pissed.
Jack Smith tracked private communication and calls of nearly a dozen GOP senators during the January 6th probe.
This was his Operation Arctic Frost, Arctic Frost.
You know what?
We ought to send Jack Smith somewhere where he can experience an Arctic frost.
That's what they used to do in Russia.
They'd slap you on the wrist.
They'd send you to Siberia.
We ought to have our own Siberia.
It's got to be somewhere in Alaska, just freezing cold.
Send Jack Smith to experience his own Arctic frost.
So he's spying on everybody.
They're spying.
They're going after innocent Americans.
They're tossing innocent Americans in jail.
It's all political persecution.
But, oh, you barely hear a peep.
You barely hear a peep from the Republicans in Congress with that.
But now that they're being spied on, oh, now they got a problem.
Pam Bogdi blasted during the hearing today by Republican Senator Josh Hawley over FBI wiretapping scandal.
Aren't you sick of this crap?
And I got the whole list of Republicans complaining about this.
They do nothing about it.
They illegally spied on Trump in 2015 and 2016, and you guys did nothing.
You did nothing.
Then they started spying on associates of Donald Trump, campaign members of Donald Trump, and you did nothing.
Then they started spying on us and weaponizing the government again after January 6th.
You still did nothing.
You've still done nothing.
And then it was, was it last year or two years ago?
And this is why, this is why today, I'm sick of these Republicans.
They voted to extend and expand the government surveillance state.
They voted for this.
They could have shut this whole thing down when it came to a vote in Congress.
And they all voted to expand the surveillance state.
And anybody who was around during that time remembers it was a major political issue, a major political topic.
And it was a bad look for Republicans.
So they kind of held out to the last minute, hoping you wouldn't pay attention.
And then they all voted.
It was a buzzer beater and they expanded the surveillance state.
And they had no problem.
They had no problem voting for that.
Oh, the federal government spying on every American.
And that's basically what it is.
It's the six degree of separation rule.
If one person is considered, all you got to do is just get a warrant on one person, and then you can go three degrees of separation from that person as a person of interest.
And you can basically spy on everybody.
And that's what they did.
And the Republicans all voted for it.
You all voted for it.
You Republicans, you voted for the government to spy on me.
And now you found out the government's spying on you and you want to complain?
Screw you.
You're a bunch of frauds.
Oh, I was spied on.
You voted for the government to spy on us too.
I guess you don't like the taste of your own medicine.
John Thune.
I have grave concerns about a new report showing that the Biden-era FBI spied on Republican senators.
And I fully support Senate committees getting to the bottom of this outrageous abuse of power and weaponization of government.
If you do do something, you're the biggest selfish prick I've ever seen.
More than 1,200 innocent Americans were politically persecuted by the Biden regime.
Hundreds of us spent time in federal prisons.
And you, John Thune, did nothing because you're a fraud.
But now that, oh, now that John Thune, now that the Senate majority leader John Thune, now that he was maybe a victim of the Biden administration, now he's going to do something about it.
When it's you, when it's me, when it's other innocent Americans, John Thune has nothing to say.
But when it's him, he gets big.
Now John Thune is the big tough guy.
But not when it's innocent Americans.
Marsha Blackburn.
This is an abomination.
This appalling weaponization of the FBI under Jack Smith.
I will not let it stand.
You already let it stand.
You've been letting it stand for five freaking years.
Everyone from the Biden administration involved in this decision must be investigated.
Yeah.
Thanks.
Thanks.
Tell me something I don't know.
And then, you know, of course, one of the few remaining conservatives left in Congress who the Republicans love to attack, Thomas Massey, he voted against extending the surveillance.
He did multiple interviews while the vote was going on, warning Americans that this was going to happen.
He even said that they're spying on members of Congress.
And what did the Republicans do?
They attacked him for it.
And it turns out he was right.
So now, Thomas Massey proven right again.
We should fire everyone involved and dissolve the branch of the FBI that did this.
But in reality, we won't even deprive them of one toner cartridge, one cartridge of printer ink.
He's probably right again.
Thomas Massey seems to be right most of the time, actually.
Oh, and of course, he gets attacked the most from the Republican Party.
Remember all the big talk?
We're going to dissolve the FBI.
Dan Bongino, we need to shut the FBI down.
Cash Patel, we need to shut the FBI down.
They're not doing it.
Okay, fine.
All these Republicans, silent, quiet for four years of the Biden administration, wouldn't say boo about the illegal spying, instead voted for it.
Oh, but now they find out Jack Smith was spying on them.
Now they have a problem with it.
Oh, now it's real.
When it's somebody else, it's not real.
But when it's them, it's real.
Bill Haggerty, I got a whole list of all of these Republican phonies.
It's ridiculous.
Oh, wait.
You all voted for it.
You all voted to extend FISA.
Every single one of you.
Every single one of you phonies complaining that you were spied on.
By the way, to his credit, he was reporting on this two months ago.
But they never do anything.
Is Jack Smith going to be going to a federal prison?
Who's the real criminal?
Is it Jack Smith or is it Tina Peters?
Is it Jack Smith or is it Owen Schroer?
Is it Jack Smith or is it Donald Trump?
General Mike Flynn weighing in.
All of a sudden, the GOP wakes up when they discover they got spied on too.
What's new?
Nothing.
These senators knew the whole time these things were happening and did little to nothing.
Spare us your false pain and do something about it, please.
Thank you, General Flynn.
100% right.
100% right.
But see, these Republicans in Congress think you're stupid.
They have no respect for you.
They think you're stupid.
They think you're ignorant.
They think you're uninformed or misinformed.
All they care about is themselves at the end of the day.
Just a not-so-subtle reminder.
By the way, this is nothing new.
These stories came out in 2009.
Senator Dianne Feinstein, the CIA spied on the Senate and may have violated the Constitution.
Oh, the federal government illegally spying again, and they did nothing.
Senators outraged over alleged wiretapping.
2009.
And they did the same song and dance.
Complaining and whining and getting in front of cameras and microphones and a big publicity stunt and then pretending like they care about the Constitution.
And then once the buzzer's over, they go back and burn the Constitution and piss in your face and tell you it's rape.
They all suck.
But you know, it's funny when I was digging into all of this stuff, and so was Glenn Greenwald, and we had some exchanges today on X. This came up.
Did you ever hear about this one?
U.S. government to drop espionage charges against APAC officials.
Steve Rosen and Keith Weissman accused of providing U.S. defense secrets to Israeli embassy in Washington.
This is your greatest ally.
They steal our military secrets all the time, by the way.
Your greatest ally stealing your military secrets, spying on you, 24-7.
The U.S. government is to drop espionage charges against two officials of America's most powerful pro-Israel lobby accused of spying for the Jewish state because court rulings had made the case unwinnable and the trial would disclose classified information.
That's right.
That's right.
Just like Jonathan Pollard, just like the USS Liberty.
Israel commits crimes against America.
Oh, they don't exist.
Shove them under the rug.
Never talk about it again.
But never forget October 7th.
Never forget.
And that's what they do.
That's how they do it to you.
And people are wise to it now.
But did you know AIPAC was facing espionage charges?
We just dropped them.
And AIPAC continues to operate to this day.
Isn't that amazing?
Yeah, they really pick and choose.
They really pick and choose what they want you to know, don't they?
By the way, Abrego Garcia, this guy just won't go away.
It just won't go away.
How much money have we spent transporting Abrego Garcia all around the world?
Literally.
Probably, I mean, it's probably close to $100,000 or more bill at this point.
Judge denies government's request to delay Abrego Garcia's legal proceedings.
The government was asking to extend this.
How is this case not closed?
By the way, he still wanted for human trafficking charges in Tennessee.
Flying around the world.
He's in El Salvador.
He's back in Tennessee.
He's in a new courtroom.
He's in Maryland.
He's a Maryland man, after all.
Federal judge loses patience with Trump DOJ as a Brego Garcia deportation stalls again.
Judge Paula Zinas ordered the Justice Department to produce a witness to testify under oath about Abrego Garcia's case on Friday.
What the hell is going on?
So they're going to be back in court on Friday, and the DOJ is going to try to produce a witness.
And now they want to deport him to Africa.
They want to deport him to Africa.
We've heard El Salvador.
We've heard Uganda.
Now we're hearing Eswatini.
Eswatini is now where the Department of Justice is trying to deport Garcia to.
Crazy.
Judge poised to free Obrego Garcia if officials can't supply deportation plans.
Free.
Free him.
That will be a really embarrassing moment for Pam Bondi.
Should that happen.
But now Pam Bondi is going to be scrambling around to deal with that.
This woman is, oh my gosh.
And we've got some clips of her today.
Maybe we'll play these.
So she doesn't even know what to do with herself at this point, really.
She doesn't know what to focus on.
She's got so many things she's got to try to run cover on now.
And now she's going to be distracted by the Abrego Garcia thing.
She was testifying today.
Let's see how you feel about Pam Bondi's hearing today.
February, you made a public claim that the Epstein client list was, quote, sitting on my desk right now for reviews, end of quote.
You then produce already public information to no client list in the major media that host us at the White House.
Attorney General Bondi, why did you publicly claim to have an Epstein client list waiting for your review and then produced nothing relevant to that client?
unidentified
Senator Durbin, if you listened to my entire clip on that, I said I had not reviewed it yet, that it was sitting on my desk along with the JFK files the Martin Luther King files.
According to another whistleblower who made a protected disclosure to my office, you pushed the FBI to review approximately 100,000 Epstein-related records on an arbitrarily short deadline in March.
And the FBI was directed to flag any documents that mentioned President Trump.
Nothing came in that review until July when DOJ and FBI released an unsigned memo stating, quote, there's no incriminating client list.
Why was the July 7th memo unsigned?
unidentified
The July 7th memo came from the FBI and the Department of Justice director.
Patel answered those questions very clearly.
And you know, Senator Durbin, I find it very interesting that you refused repeated Republican requests to release the Epstein flight logs in 2023 and 2024.
Now, this is actually pretty funny because why would she even be bringing that up?
Why is Pam Bondi bringing up Reid Hoffman?
Oh, it's the insinuation that there's something insidious, right?
He was friends with Epstein.
So what?
You said there's no clients.
There's no list.
So what?
Are you going to name all of Epstein's friends?
Are now all of Epstein's friends sketchy characters and guilty of something?
You know, you work for one of them.
So what is it?
You're covering it up.
That's what it is.
And everybody sees it.
And you either lied then or you're lying now.
Imagine that.
The Democrats, the biggest liars in the history of this country, the biggest phonies and flip-floppers.
And now they're getting at Pam Bondi.
That's how you know you've lost on the Epstein debacle.
That's how you know you've fallen out of the high ground when the Democrats can come after you on Epstein.
You got problems.
Jeffrey Epstein's Island received more than 2,000 previously unreported flights.
A shocking new probe has uncovered more than 2,000 flights that went unreported to the shady Epstein Island in the U.S. Virgin Islands, shedding new light on the scale of travel there.
What were they doing on Epstein's Island?
What were they doing?
What was Bill Clinton doing?
They don't want us to know.
And it'd be one thing if they didn't run on it.
It'd be one thing if they didn't host shows and do interviews all about it, but they did.
And now they're going to pretend they didn't, and they want us to stop talking about it.
By the way, so now apparently the Trump administration is considering giving Diddy a pardon and giving Maxwell a pardon.
Now think about the implications here.
Because you have basically now the Department of Justice and these court cases have now actually given the room for Maxwell and Diddy to get a pardon or to walk free.
If the Epstein thing was a hoax, then why is Maxwell in prison?
What's up with that?
If there were no clients, if there wasn't a giant blackmail ring, if there wasn't a giant sex trafficking ring, which was the implications of the Epstein case, that was the implications of the Maxwell case.
If it didn't exist, then why is Maxwell in prison?
Now, you have to say, I don't understand what goes on with all the Epstein victims.
We know that some of the most vocal ones have died, committed suicide.
Yeah, they got killed.
And then you got all the other victims that showed up in D.C. two months ago and said, we're going to come back to D.C. and we're going to name names.
Well, where are they?
What are they doing?
Are they afraid?
Are they lying?
What's up with that?
So, okay, now Maxwell is saying, hey, whole thing is a hoax, or who knows what's going on with these pardon negotiations.
Boy, if they pardon Maxwell, what are the odds are that she takes a the first thing she does is take an international trip to a certain country in the Middle East.
And then there's Diddy, where Maureen Comey completely botched that case.
And really, he should walk.
Diddy should walk because the way that they ended up charging him, he has an out.
Oh, the charge that they got to stick was that he hired a prostitute who crossed state lines, and so that's the crime.
But hold on.
This happens all the time.
It's called the adult film industry.
You ever heard of it?
Yeah.
These porn production companies hire women and they cross state lines and they shoot sex scenes just like Diddy was doing.
And so Diddy is saying, hey, I was shooting a sex scene.
This is totally legal.
You can't pardon either one of them because it's going to look so bad.
But what you're trying to argue in the court cases, what you're trying to argue now, basically, yeah, they probably should get pardoned.
Oh, poor Maxwell.
Poor Maxwell was just the fall gal in a big hoax.
So she needs to be pardoned.
And Diddy, he was just making amateur porn videos.
It's perfectly legal.
So there you go.
Is this going to be the conclusion?
Yikes.
Yikes.
What an absolute disaster.
Hey, there's a new study out here.
Diet and sugary drinks raise risk of common liver disease by up to 60%.
And it talks about all of these sodas, all this stuff with the added sugar and the processed sugar and the high fructose corn syrup.
And they're now saying it's one of the leading causes, they think, of liver disease, including liver cancer.
It's no good.
You should avoid, you should avoid these unhealthy drinks.
But you know what?
There's one drink.
There's one drink that you should not avoid.
In fact, you should seek it out right now at blackoutcoffee.com.
And that is the official coffee of the Owen report.
And I got to say, we had a lot of people that wanted to sponsor the show that had different coffees.
So I was taste testing coffee.
In fact, I'm now kind of addicted to coffee again.
I kind of beat the addiction and I was doing other energy drinks.
Now I'm kind of addicted to coffee after taste testing like a dozen different coffees.
And Blackout was by far my favorite.
Blackout was by far my favorite coffee and the company was by far my favorite company to work with.
And they really wanted to be a part of the show.
We're glad to have them.
And I can tell you, you won't regret it.
Every once in a while, you know, coffee, you think, eh, coffee is coffee.
Every once in a while, you get a sour bag.
Not here.
This is full roast, full flavor.
And I'm telling you, you got to try it.
I'm telling you, you got to try it.
It's the first official coffee.
It's the only official coffee.
It will be the only official coffee of the Owen Report.
It's not just coffee.
It's fresh roasted, family-owned right here in America, made by great people who love this country.
And now, yes, I do drink a lot of coffee.
And as soon as I tried Blackout, I knew it was the one that I wanted.
They've got roasts for every Patriot listening today.
The Morning Reaper, a smooth, medium roast that gives you the perfect kickstart to the day.
If you want it bold, the Brutal Awakening, a dark roast that's strong, rich, and full of flavor.
But the one that I really liked was Blackout's Instant Coffee because I actually got rid of my coffee machine at home.
That's how much I beat the coffee addiction.
So I got rid of my coffee machine at home.
I had to eventually order a new one that got here.
But their instant coffee, actually, it kind of gave me a little bit of a, I guess you might say I was reminiscing.
That's all I could drink in prison was the instant coffee.
And it was one of the things I really looked forward to with my day when I was finally out of the solitary confinement.
Every day after dinner, we'd get back to the cells and I would drink my instant coffee.
And it was like one of the highlights of my day was just getting that cup of instant coffee.
And I don't really drink instant coffee.
Now, this is much better than the prison instant coffee.
Let me tell you, that tasted great because you're in prison.
This instant coffee, you wouldn't even think it's instant coffee.
You wouldn't even tell.
It tastes just like the bold flavor of a freshly brewed batch.
So Blackout's instant coffee, folks.
You got to give it a try.
Good for being on the run.
Good if you don't have time to brew a pot.
If you don't want to deal with it, the instant coffee, a great secondary option there.

By the way, actually, speaking of coffee, you know what?
There's one place.
There's one place I'd like to drink my blackout coffee.
Maybe I will someday.
Oh, I can't even pull it up.
What's up with this?
Maybe I'll have to pull it up on my screen then.
There is an image going around.
You may have seen it on X. An image from the top of the new bridge in China.
Let me see if I can pull this up on the screen for y'all.
We're still working our way through the tech glitches.
That's why I'm doing everything myself to just go through the whole thing, learn the tech glitches, and just know how absolutely everything works before I hand over some of the reins to the producer so that when the producers run into trouble, I can tell them exactly what's going on.
Well, you know what?
Here's a badly printed out image of it.
It's the best I can do today.
That's the best we can do today.
That's where I'd like to have it, though.
Do we have anything like that in America?
Are there any massive bridges where you can go on top of the bridge and there's a coffee shop and a restaurant up there?
People are sharing it on the stream feed right now.
So you can see it there.
I don't think we have any bridges like that.
I don't even know if we could.
Could we even build a bridge like that today?
We can't even fix the bridge in Baltimore.
Bridges all across the country are falling apart.
I don't even know if we could build a bridge.
And even if we could, the federal government would get in the way and put so much red tape in your way that you wouldn't, it would take 10 years just to even start construction.
It's what Trump talks about all the time.
All the different green regulations, environmental bull crap, all the legal stuff, everything else.
And you think, hey, okay, there's a certain level of that that's good, but then it becomes a hindrance.
And now they're letting the commies, we're going to let the commies outshine us on infrastructure.
But Owen, China has the Uyghurs and China has the labor camps and China has the social credit score.
If they let us go on YouTube for the remainder of today's show, I think we're going to do a YouTube subscriber-a-thon, and we'll just do like a long five-hour broadcast next week and try to get as many people on the YouTube as possible.
YouTube.com slash at Owen Report.
I agree.
I agree.
If you don't like Jimmy Cliff, that's something wrong with you.
That's on you, man, not me.
That's just love and life music.
All right, ladies and gentlemen, we're into the second hour of today's Owen report.
Let's get into the controversial issue that always gets somebody upset.
Somebody's always getting upset when you bring it up.
These numbers should anger every American, no matter where you stand on the Israel issue.
In the two years since the October 7th, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel, the U.S. government has spent $21.7 billion on military aid to Israel alone.
The U.S. government has spent an additional $9.6 to $12 billion on military operations in Yemen and the wider region since October 7th for a total of over $30 billion and counting in U.S. spending post-October 7th attack.
Now, There are different numbers as far as what's going on with the death count.
This report says as of October 3rd, 2025, 67,000 people in Gaza have been killed and another 169,000 injured.
So, you know, these numbers are debated.
I don't know what the real number is.
Over 5 million people have been forced to flee in this region, including almost 2 million under 18 years old.
So I don't care where you stand on the Israel issue.
You can be pro-Israel.
You could be anti-Israel.
That's your thing.
But why would anybody want to be supporting this war for the tune of $30 billion?
And by the way, you know that the United States basically pays off foreign countries like Egypt.
The U.S. has to pay foreign countries like Egypt to not go after Israel.
Egypt and other countries would probably form a united front against Israel if it wasn't for the United States paying them off.
So it's not just the direct money that goes to Israel.
It's also all the other money and all the other military spending that we have to do to stop the world from forming an alliance against Israel.
So I'm just sick of it.
Again, pro-Israel, anti-Israel?
I don't care.
I'm anti-spending money on foreign wars.
And I don't know why any other American wouldn't be.
Now, of course, Israel is desperate right now because they're losing the PR war.
They're losing the narrative and they're losing the American people.
So they're trying everything they can to hire American celebrities and influencers and everything else to try to convince you that you need to support Israel financially, militarily, and stand with a foreign country.
Israel wants to hire Chris Pratt and Steph Curry, among others, for a newly created firm called Show Faith by Works with a $3.2 million outreach and digital targeting campaign to Christian churches in the West on behalf of Israel.
So Israel, you know, this is what they do.
Israel basically astro-turfs conservative media like Mark Levin and Israel astroturfs Christian churches like this show faith by works group, and then they use it to keep you on the pro-Israel plantation.
Now, it doesn't really work like it used to because everybody's aware of it now.
Apparently, they also have reached out to John Voigt, whose team gave them a response of, hey, you need to go after younger people, not me.
I'm paraphrasing.
Now, Voigt, I'm pretty sure, is pro-Israel, but he didn't want anything to do with it.
Probably a wise decision.
And then you've got the whole Barry Weiss, Larry Ellison situation.
Well, guess who's celebrating it today?
This was actually last night.
Michael Orrin, a former Israeli ambassador, and Tal Heinrich, who is a media representative of Israel.
And they're all over celebrating Barry Weiss today.
Oh, gee.
So now CBS and everything under the Paramount umbrella is going to be used to push pro-Israel propaganda.
That's what this was all about.
That's why Barry Weiss is worth $150 million.
Of course, you've got these deranged leftists.
They run around and they're using October 7th to anger whatever pro-Israel people that are in their vicinity.
A lot of news coming out of Stanford, by the way.
In fact, I didn't even pull up the story I meant to, but I found this one.
You had these people waving Palestinian flags on Stanford's campus today.
It's just like, yeah, I want somebody to come beat you up.
You're just, you're doing, you want a fight.
If you're, I don't care what foreign flag you're waving.
I don't want to see it.
I don't want to see your foreign flag.
I don't care if it's red, green, and white, or white and royal blue with a star in the middle.
I don't want to see your foreign flag.
I don't want to see you parading around a foreign flag telling me I need to support a foreign country.
But so these leftist jerks are out there waving their Palestinian flags, hoping they run into a Jewish student.
I need to find the actual story because I got distracted when I saw this.
No, there was another story in Stanford today because they're criminally trying to prosecute some people for anti-Semitism.
I'm dead serious.
If I didn't have this piece of crap keyboard, maybe I could make something work here.
Let me see if I can find this.
Yeah, I don't know if I can find this.
Maybe, yeah, here we go.
Stanford protesters arraigned for campus protests.
Now, look, they deserve everything they're getting.
Don't get me wrong.
I am not saying that these protesters don't deserve what they're getting.
But hold on.
Let's do some fair measurement here.
This is from the Stanford area, the Bay Area.
The group is made up of former and current Stanford students.
They took over the president's office last June to protest Stanford's financial ties to Israel.
Oh, it's not Qatar?
Oh, my.
According to the Santa Clara County District Attorney's Office, they broke windows and furniture, splashed fake blood, and disabled security cameras, causing hundreds of thousands of dollars in damage.
11 of the defendants were indicted last week on charges of felony vandalism.
They pleaded not guilty at the arraignment.
A 12th student who was initially charged pleaded no contest and testified for the prosecution.
So they got one of them to cooperate.
And then, of course, outside the courthouse, you had a bunch of free Palestine protesters waving the Palestinian flag.
Sick of all of you.
I'm sick of all of you foreign flag waivers.
Every single one, whether it's light blue and yellow or any, I'm sick of all of you.
I'm sick of all of you.
And I'd like to see, I'd like to see a new law.
There need to be new rules.
If you support or if you show a foreign flag in Congress, if you wear a foreign flag on your lapel or any part of your person, or you have a foreign flag in your office or on your office doorway, you need to be kicked out of Congress.
In fact, I will have your ass deported.
I'm going to send you out of the country on the same plane as a Brego Garcia.
Nice foreign flag you got here.
Deported.
So, okay.
Now they have trial coming up next month.
They're going to face years.
They'll probably get hit with a felony.
Now, they may plea it down.
They could plea it down if they're willing to cooperate.
We'll see because you know there's a bunch of leftist legal groups that are going to try to use these people to make a legal point as cannon fodder.
Now, they can choose to do that, but they better be wise to it.
Here's my problem.
And this is what adds to the larger issue of why people have this Israel fatigue to the extent that they're sick of it now.
They're like, they're nauseated by it.
And now they're virulently anti-Israel.
We watched how many protests over the years that the left engaged in get violent.
And they never ran an operation like this to bring in all of the people that burned buildings to the ground, attacked federal buildings.
It didn't happen.
They got like one or two.
And even they got light sentences.
So for the tens of thousands of people that were involved in billions of dollars of damage during George Floyd riots, Michael Brown riots, riots in Charlotte riots all over the place.
They never brought in big groups.
They never identified and had big groups and charged any of these people with felonies.
They got like 10 out of thousands.
But, oh, you are an anti-Semite on a college campus.
We're going to use the full power and every resource of law enforcement to make sure that you go down.
Again, these protesters deserve what they're getting.
Do not mistake what I'm saying here.
You committed felony vandalism.
You're going to prison and you deserve it.
But if you would have committed felony vandalism for Mike Brown or for George Floyd or one of these other left-wing riots, then you'd be okay.
Then you'd get away with it.
Then you'd be off.
But because of the anti-Semitism and because it was anti-Israel, now we have to destroy you.
Now we have to get you.
And then, of course, there's the other outlier, which is, God forbid, if you were a conservative and you were in D.C. on January 6th, they're getting you.
But that's just the outlier.
That's the obvious one.
So it's just this foreign war between Israel and Palestine continues to engulf our country financially, militarily, culturally, politically.
And I'm just sick of it.
And I think most Americans are sick of it as well.
Now, Ben Shapiro got an interview with Benjamin Netanyahu.
And there were a couple of interesting clips from that.
Let's start here, Shapiro and Netanyahu.
unidentified
It's the future of Israeli self-sufficiency, particularly in terms of military assistance.
Now, the America First Movement and the characters and the voices involved in that, they would label that, the ADL has labeled that, they would label that right-wing ethno-nationalists.
Do you see what I'm getting at?
Was there a major Political figure in history that was an ethno-nationalist.
Can you think of one, you know, gets brought up every history class, you're constantly reminded.
Who is a famous ethno-nationalist in world history?
Can anybody think of one, you know, might have had a signature mustache?
So isn't that funny?
So you've got the pro-Israel side and Netanyahu, they'll demonize Hitler all day long, and everybody's a Nazi.
Dude, you're politically a Nazi.
Politically speaking, you and Adolf Hitler are the same thing.
You're an ethno-nationalist.
Literally.
And would you say that, and I'm not going to get into the whole World War II revisionist history, but let's deal with the reality of the conversation today.
Wouldn't you say that Hitler was willing to kill his enemies in cold blood?
Wouldn't you say Hitler was a mass murderer?
What's going on in Gaza?
So do you see how crazy it is?
And then for the America First Movement that they would say are ethno-nationalists, they're certainly nationalists.
There's ethno-nationalists within the America First Movement.
But I don't even know if they would deny this.
I think if faced with this, they'd probably say, yeah, that's true.
They probably wish that America had a leader like Netanyahu.
They probably wish that Donald Trump was like Netanyahu and was an ethno-nationalist and did everything possible to protect America and destroy America's enemies.
But we don't get that.
So I would really wonder.
I would really wonder if you asked the America First Movement, the right-wing nationalists, I bet they'd probably be honest.
I bet they'd say, yeah, I wish America had a leader like Netanyahu.
Now, if you're not American and Israel is basically a dependent of the United States of America, then it hits a little differently when you're not an Israeli.
But isn't that funny?
Benjamin Netanyahu is probably the leading ethno-nationalist on planet Earth.
And I don't see what is the political separation between Netanyahu and Hitler.
Is anybody in America still falling for this man's lies?
Bibi Netanyahu has been lying to the United States of America for 40 years.
He's been using the same lie.
And look, you have to understand.
You have to understand why he does it.
And this is why I look at Benjamin Netanyahu and his ilk as paranoid schizophrenics.
They are under trauma-based mind control.
That's what's going on here.
You have the it's not every Israeli, but you have Israelis and you have many American Jews that are under trauma-based mind control because of the Holocaust and World War II.
And so they're taught it at a young age and they're taught it in synagogue and they're taught it in their homes that every day is a fight for the survival of our people.
And everybody is against our people.
And so everything is now offense and defense.
Everything is war to these people.
So of course, Netanyahu has been lying to America for 40 years because he puts his interests first.
He puts Israel's interests first.
And he knows that, hey, if I go over and I deceive America into supporting us militarily, then we're going to be doing pretty good.
And he was right.
And he did it.
And he's been doing it for 40 years.
And now, after we just bombed Iran for him, after the United States of America just bombed Iran for Netanyahu and said, oh, we destroyed their nuclear sites.
Netanyahu, for 10 years, has been saying that Iran was a month away from getting a nuclear missile.
And then they never did.
And then they say, oh, we need America to strike Iran's nuclear site so we can eliminate their nuclear capabilities.
Okay?
So then we do it.
And now here he is five months later saying Iran has a nuclear weapon and it could hit New York or Mar-a-Lago any day now.
Then what the hell did we do?
Why did we strike Iran for you?
I thought we destroyed their nuclear facilities.
Are you saying that's a lie now?
But you know what?
Because you get this, if a bomb hits the United States of America, who do you think the American people are going to blame?
Who do you think they're going to think that was?
Do you think they're going to say, oh, it was definitely Iran?
I can't believe Americans still fall for this crap.
Iran has been two months away from developing a nuclear bomb for 10 years.
And we just blew up their nuclear sites.
And now Netanyahu is right back here with Ben Shapiro propagandizing the American people, saying we need to, what, strike him again, go for regime change, go for an all-out war?
What do you want, Netanyahu?
What do you want?
Do you want our firstborn son, too?
Do you want our firstborn sons and daughters?
Is anything ever enough for you?
And by the way, when history is told, Netanyahu will go down as one of the worst leaders in the history of the world.
Now, if he's victorious and he conquers all this land and expands into greater Israel, then that will be his legacy and that's what he wants.
But if he fails, which now that's where this is trending, is he's going to fail, then he's going to go down as one of the worst leaders ever in the history of the world and bad for Israel, one of the worst leaders for Israel because eventually America is going to separate from Israel and he will be the leading cause.
And if things get worse and the state of safety in Israel gets worse, he's going to be blamed for it.
And that's why he's so desperate because he knows this is the legacy and he knows it either goes one way or the other.
Either he goes down as one of the greatest Jewish leaders of all time who conquered a bunch of land, expanded the Israeli state, or he fails and he goes down as a bloodthirsty maniac liar.
He's well aware of it.
And that's why he's so desperate.
That's why he's trying to talk to the American people every single day to try to keep the support coming in.
And it's not really working.
But you have to understand what we're dealing with here, folks.
Now, this is in this is not in English, so you'll have to just bear with it.
But I'll tell you what this Israeli model is saying here.
Her name is Sarai Givati.
And here I'll tell you what she says in this interview, or you can read the captions.
But when you understand the psychology of what goes on in that region of the world, you understand why we, the American people, need to stay far, far away from it.
And we really need to be vetting people that come to our country that have this type of mindset.
So it seems like, because I-24 seems to have kind of diverse coverage on Israel issues.
So it seems like they have some left-wing Israelis and some right-wing Israelis because you'll get some left stuff.
You'll get some right stuff from Israel 24 there.
And it looks like that's a left-wing talk show host talking to a right-wing Israeli.
And so what she says is: to tell you, I'm not sad for every child in the world who cries, I am sad.
But I also understand that this child, if we don't act, will grow up to be a terrorist.
So little children in Gaza are terrorists.
That's their logic.
And I don't even want to sit here and get into their issues because they're not my issues.
I have no family from that region of the world.
I have no connection to that region of the world.
So I can just sit here and tell you about human psychology.
When you have people that are born into hatred, and when you have people that have dehumanized people to such that, to that degree, there's no, you can't get involved, folks.
You've got the Israelis that are taught every single day that the Muslims are their enemies.
They say children are terrorists.
You've got the people in Gaza and all the neighbors of Israel who have family members and parents and grandparents who got killed by Israel.
So they grow up with hatred too.
Honestly, we ought to build an actual giant dome and just put it over the entire region and just say, figure it out for yourselves.
Hey, it's the 21st century.
Join the rest of the world.
We want to live in peace.
We don't want to have fighting anymore.
We don't want to be born into hatred anymore.
We don't want to be born into war anymore.
We don't need it.
It's the 21st century.
Come join us.
And by the way, this is where most of the Gulf nation states are at now, too.
This is what the crown prince of Saudi Arabia is talking about.
All of these Gulf nation states are like, hey, we're dealing with our radical Islamic problem.
It's like, hey, we're not radical Islam anymore.
Like, you know, we're a little more liberal now.
We kind of like the westernization of stuff.
And you still got your, you know, your orthodoxy and you still got your bitter clingers.
But the Gulf nation states are like, hey, we're done.
We're not doing the war.
We're not doing the hatred all the time anymore.
But, but, oh, then there's then there's Israel and Palestine and Lebanon and Jordan.
And it's just like they, it's just, they can't stop it.
Join us.
I'm asking Israel.
Join us in the 21st century.
Leave, leave your centuries-old hate behind you.
Leave your millennia hate and your millennia holy war behind you.
Join us in the 21st century.
Join us.
No.
They want 24/7 war and they get it.
So I say, fine.
I want nothing to do with it.
Count me out.
Not my war.
Not my fight.
Never should be.
By the way, this is what Gaza looks like.
They're doing everything to avoid casualties, folks.
They're doing everything to try to save Gaza.
I mean, give me a break.
They've literally leveled.
They've leveled the entire thing.
The whole thing is flattened, folks.
Because it was the very plan from the beginning.
I wouldn't be surprised if it was Mossad assets embedded in Hamas that organized and initiated the entire October 7th attack.
Wouldn't surprise me one bit.
And that's what I'm saying.
And then I get lectured.
I get lectured about October 7th.
I'm not the one that stood down.
I'm not the one that started Hamas.
That was Israel.
Israel put Hamas in charge.
Not me.
I'm not the one that made sure that the Hamas attack on October 7th was able to be carried out.
I didn't do that.
Why should I have to pay for it?
It was the plan from the very beginning, folks.
It was always the plan.
A terror attack happens, and then they move in, they leveled the entire thing, and then they conquer the land.
That's what they're doing.
That was the plan all along.
And again, I don't want anything to do with it.
So if they were doing that and they weren't using my money and my country to do it, I mean, I might have a problem with it.
I wouldn't like it, but it wouldn't be my big issue.
But no, because I'm lectured and somehow, somehow, your political and moral compass is all about supporting Israel.
What?
They just killed how many?
50,000, 100,000?
They just destroyed.
They're about to conquer a land.
I mean, no.
No.
I don't know.
I don't know how much longer Trump can deal with these people either.
It seems as though Trump is losing his patience as well.
Now, tonight, I'm going to be hosting a debate on all my normal channels between Jason Goodman and Chris Martinson that have reached different conclusions about the Charlie Kirk assassination.
You know, it's funny because, you know, Candace Owens is getting a lot of heat.
But everything she's done has turned out to be true.
Whether you like her presentation or approach or not, she said that there was the letter, then they published the letter.
She said Charlie was not being pro-Israel behind the scenes, then it was proven.
Then she shared this text thread today, got confirmed to be real by TPUSA.
So Candace is getting real stuff here.
And it seems that there's this miscommunication, at least from where I'm standing.
And I, you know, I don't even want to get involved in it really right now.
I'll host the debate tonight.
But I saw the attacks against Candace today because yesterday when she published these texts, they all said that they were fake and Candace was making it up and she was lying.
Well, today they got confirmed as real.
And so now the people that were attacking her are saying, well, that doesn't mean anything.
It doesn't prove that Israel did it.
Look, from my understanding from following this, I didn't think that that was ever what she claimed.
I thought that the whole issue was after Charlie Kirk got shot that Benjamin Netanyahu was turning his death into pro-Israel propaganda.
I thought that was the issue here.
From me following it all, that's what I thought.
I don't think I've ever seen Candace accuse Israel of doing it.
Now, you could say, well, is she implying it?
Is she insinuating it?
Well, okay, you could probably say that, but I don't believe she's ever said that.
And the entire genesis of this is less than 24 hours after Charlie got shot, Netanyahu was using his assassination as political propaganda.
That's where this whole thing started.
And that's why Candace said, no, he was not pro-Israel.
And then here's all the evidence.
And then all the evidence has continued to pour out since.
So, you know, Candace is getting a lot of heat, to put it lightly.
But it seems like everything that she's put out there has been real and now confirmed.
And again, the genesis of me was an anti-Netanyahu thing that he came out and made Charlie's death about Israel.
And that's what started the whole thing.
I don't think I've ever heard Candace accuse anybody of doing it.
But that's just a side issue because tonight we'll actually have the debate about what these two independent investigators believe happened to Charlie.
So I'll be hosting that tonight at 7 o'clock.
That'll be about an hour.
That'll be about an hour after we sign off here.
So we'll do that and hope that you join me.
All right.
You know, we had this happen in Austin, Texas a couple years back, and you may recall.
And so when I was contacted by my Patriot food supply as the winner is coming up, right now they have a winter bundle package that they are offering.
And I saw that and I said, it sounds crazy.
You think emergency food supply, you think a hurricane, an earthquake, a power outage.
You know, these are kind of things are, you know, a mass event, but people don't really think about freezing.
Well, here in Austin, that actually is because they just have no, I don't know what goes on in Texas, but they have no preparedness for any winter weather at all.
And like everything shuts down.
So a couple of years ago, we were without power for weeks in Austin, Texas.
And I actually did have to eat emergency food.
That actually happened.
We were eating emergency food because everything in Austin was shut down for two weeks after an ice storm.
So they have their winter bundle happening right now, folks.
From my experience, winter is actually the one, the winter here was the one time I've ever had to eat emergency food.
It was the one time.
And so now winter is upon us.

Why U.S. power bills are surging?
Now, this is a line graph.
I'll show you on camera here from the Federal Reserve Bank in St. Louis.
This is a line graph of electricity prices.
You can see it's just through the roof.
Well, yes, energy costs are going up because of bad policy, but it's not just bad policy.
It's now extra consumption.
Microsoft to invest $4 billion to build second data center facility in Wisconsin.
Microsoft data centers will use 8 million gallons of water each year.
And now they're building another one.
Microsoft data centers in the village of Mount Pleasant will require up to 8.4 million gallons of water each year, according to data released from the city of Racine, Wisconsin.
Now you've got all of them in an AI race, which requires more data and energy than all of it, than storage.
These tech companies are going to be consuming so much of the power grid that energy costs are going to skyrocket.
And it does increase the odds of blackouts.
Don't anticipate your energy bills going down anytime soon, folks.
And why aren't we doing something to keep up with this demand?
Why aren't we innovating in energy right now?
Well, we all know why.
Because we're busy supporting a foreign war in Ukraine, a foreign war in the Middle East, making sure a bunch of special interests and foreign interests get what they need.
But the American people, no.
Your costs are going to continue to skyrocket.
Your energy costs are going to continue to go up.
And nobody is innovating in the field right now to try to stop this from happening.
Nobody.
That's walking into a disaster is what that is.
That's walking right into a disaster.
Speaking of disaster.
Oh, you know what?
I missed this clip.
Let's go back to this for a second.
I forgot I had a Mark Levin clip on Gaza from this weekend.
So Mark Levin, who pretends to be an American patriot, he's really just an Israeli patriot, which is fine, Mark.
You can be an Israeli patriot.
That's your choice, but stop it.
Stop with the American flag and the liberty stuff.
That war in Gaza would be over in less than a month if the Israelis used the firepower they had in Gaza.
But it doesn't matter.
We still have news sites, including Israeli news sites, American news sites who continue to talk about the casualty numbers that are fed to them from Hamas, no matter how many experts from the war.
So this is actually the weirdest thing and why I just have to kind of go through this and why I'm deciding to just run the whole show myself this week because there's things that happen that are like anomalies that don't make any sense.
Like there's no reason why you should have been getting an echo.
There's no reason why.
And then what'll happen is you won't hear anything.
So what I'm going to do now is I'm going to play, I'm going to play other audio and see if you can even hear it.
So, but you could hear the clip and there was no echo.
Okay, so the echo is fixed.
But now I wonder if you can hear anything else that I put out.
We're about to take a top of the hour break.
Yeah, well, I'm using, I use StreamYard to do all my stuff.
So you kind of have to test everything first.
And I just said, I'm just doing it all live.
So, yeah, people are saying, why didn't you guys tell me there were echoes before?
Maybe I just didn't see it.
So there have been echoes all day.
So that's sad.
That's obnoxious.
I apologize for that.
All right.
So here's, I'm going to, I'm going to go to the top of the hour break here in a minute, and we'll see if you can hear anything.
Because that's what happens is when I switch this, that kill, but we didn't have that problem yesterday.
Here, let's play another video real quick.
Speaking of a disaster, this is Sarah McBride.
This is a man pretending to be a woman who also happens to be a Democrat congressman.
Just listen to this complete goofball.
This is crazy.
This is a man pretending to be a woman in Congress.
I appear to live rent-free in the minds of some of my Republican colleagues.
I wish that they would spend even a fraction of the time that they spend thinking about me, thinking about how to lower the costs for American families.
I wish they would spend a fraction of the time that they spend thinking about me, figuring out how to make government actually work better, rather than making it work worse in order to prove that government can't work.
They are obsessed with culture war issues.
The Republican Party is obsessed with culture war issues.
And the American people deserve serious legislators, serious elected officials who are focused on bringing people together to deliver real results for the American people.
Not to play games and not to engage in schoolyard taunts.
I'm so moved by the man pretending to be a woman talking about culture wars.
My mind has changed.
My mind is totally changed.
All right.
So I think I know, I think I know what's happening with the echo issue.
We're going to try something here because I think I know what's going on.
I think, and I'm sorry, I'm just saying this out loud, but I think when I play the videos out of StreamYard, it's giving me feedback.
But when I take calls, it doesn't.
So basically, I have to have two separate audio settings.
I have to have an audio setting for when I'm playing videos, and then I have to have an audio setting when I'm taking calls.
I think that's what's going on.
So, okay, I think we can troubleshoot that.
I think we'll be able to troubleshoot that.
No problem.
Now, though, here's the problem that I'm going to, that I'm going to have to figure out today, because I think it's still happening.
We got this camera dead.
This camera's good.
This camera's dead.
And then this camera's good.
I have no idea why this camera and this camera are dead.
Just, I have no idea.
So we'll try to work that one out.
But I think I figured out what's going on with the echo and the sound.
So that's good news.
All right.
As I said, a lot of stuff, a lot of kinks, a lot of bugs that there's a reason why I'm running the show myself this week is so that I can just get through it, learn all the different things.
And then when the producer joins me next week, basically have everything troubleshooted out or be able to explain everything.
So that's what's going on here.
So I appreciate your patience as we're going through some of the growing pains here on the Owen report.
But don't worry.
Don't worry.
We're going to have it all figured out for you soon.
So second hour in the books.
Third hour, we got a couple other news stories.
We got a couple other videos, but we're going to open the phone lines and start taking calls for the third hour today of the Owen Report.
Don't go anywhere.
unidentified
You're listening to the Owen Report on the Wynn Network.
Well, I think we got the audio issues figured out today.
unidentified
All right, cool.
So I'm in community college, right?
I'm a communications major sitting in a comm 101 class literally today, and my professor is muffling off about radio broadcasting and how much you listen to NPR.
And in my head, I'm like, NPR, I'd rather be listening to the Owen Report with Owen Schroyer.
Well, as I've said before, the next elections, Israel is going to become one of the top issues, and it's going to be on the left and the right.
And then I think, because I said this yesterday, and it's just true.
Obama won because he was against the Middle East wars.
Trump won in 2016 because he was anti-establishment, but being against Middle East wars is what brought a lot of Obama voters over to President Trump.
So, you know, Biden, they just stole it.
So you could argue the last two elected presidents, Obama and Trump, maybe the one issue that got them to victory was getting out of the Middle East.
Now, Obama obviously didn't do that.
Obama got more involved in the Middle East, you could argue, than even Bush did.
I don't know if that's a fair analysis, but Obama was just as much involved in the Middle East as Bush.
Now, Trump in his first term was not so involved in the Middle East and had things actually going in the right direction.
And then, of course, Biden gets in, the whole thing goes to hell, and the deep state and the military-industrial complex start running their games in the Middle East once again.
And Assad falls, the terror attack happens, and the rest is history.
The Afghanistan pull out all of it.
So now Trump inherits this mess.
And for whatever reason, in the second term, he's way more pro-Israel than he was in the first term.
It's like, you know, it's just, it's, it's night and day.
But I would say that whoever wins in 2028, that will be the issue.
Just like it was for Obama, just like it was for Trump.
Except now it's not just going to be about the Middle East wars.
It's not going to be a general approach.
It's going to be directed at Israel.
It's going to be directly, you're going to have to say Israel.
You're not going to be able to just say, oh, the Middle East wars.
It's going to be someone's going to go out on a limb and do it first, and then they're going to see how successful it is politically.
And then APAC, I mean, they just don't have enough money.
I don't know.
Maybe they do.
The private donors do.
You know, the Israeli lobby outside of AIPAC has billions of dollars that they spend on elections.
But that's where I see it going.
It'll be a big issue in the midterms.
And then I think it could be the deciding issue in the 2028 presidential election.
As long as you have a Democrat-run city, you're going to continue with those issues.
I mean, it's not, it's not like it's too much better in a Republican-run city because you got to get out of the metropolitan areas, but you got a better chance of not dealing with it.
I remember this one time you were on your show and he came out.
Obviously, Alex went into the back room and did some sets, started lifting weights and pumping up his arms and he rolled up his sleeves.
He came out in your show in the middle of your show and just cut right in and leaned up next to your desk, right next to you, flexing his arms and everything.
That was an intimidation factor.
I know you weren't intimidated, but that's bullshit, dude, because that's unprofessional, man.
I mean, you were trying to conduct your show and you got this goon coming in with his arms and a, and you know what?
I don't really care to comment on either of those two things right now.
I do think it's worth at least saying Charlie's wife did speak at his, I don't know if that was a funeral or what they ended up calling this ceremony in Arizona at the Cardinals Stadium.
But I guess that was his only family member.
Yeah, I'm like I said, I'm on that subject.
I'm just kind of in a hell, I'm in a holding pattern.
You know, I came out kind of hot.
I came out kind of guns ablazing, but now I'm just kind of in a holding pattern.
And I think there's other information that needs to drop before we can get a better idea of what's really going on.
I mean, I assume at some point that the feds are going to have to tell us something.
I mean, we've still got Robinson's trial that has to go down, hoping he survives to go to trial.
So really, to me, there's more questions than answers.
The only conclusion I can reach is that the official story is just an impossibility.
Like I said, the only conclusion I can reach is that the official narrative is impossible.
That's the only conclusion I can reach at this point.
So maybe they'll change the narrative.
Maybe they're waiting on something else.
Maybe there's other things going on.
I just, I'm in a holding pattern right now.
But again, that's why I look at the Candace Owens thing, and there's like this defense.
It's like if I came up and I said, and somebody said, hey, you know, you haven't been treating your wife very well lately.
And I was like, I don't rate my wife.
They'd be like, whoa, I didn't say that.
So that's why I'm like, I didn't see, I haven't seen Tucker Carlson.
I haven't seen Candace Owens.
I haven't seen them blame Israel for this.
I don't know where.
I don't know who, where that came from.
Again, if you want to say they're implying it, that's a different story.
But I haven't seen any of the two that seem to getting the most hate out of this.
I haven't seen either one of them blame Israel.
Again, my understanding following it was they didn't like what Netanyahu did in the aftermath, making it about Israel.
So they come out and they say, hey, this is not how Charlie felt in his final days.
And then it became, hey, we didn't do it.
It's like, I didn't say you did it.
I said you're lying about him.
I didn't say you did it, but now you're saying I didn't do it.
Now I'm like, so I don't know.
I'm waiting.
There has to be other information to come out.
There's no way that they're going to say this thing is done and then convince people he did it in a courtroom.
I just, there's just no way.
So I'm in a holding pattern.
We'll see.
I am hosting a debate tonight between Chris Martinson and Jason Goodman, who've been doing their own independent investigations on what actually happened that day.
I don't think they're saying they're blaming anybody, but they have a debate.
I think Jason believes the shot came from behind.
Chris believes the shot came from the front.
So they're going to have it out tonight, and I'll be moderating that.
So I hope you can tune in for that.
So that's kind of where I'm at now.
I'll moderate a debate.
I'll continue to look into things.
Obviously, it's one of the biggest stories.
It's really close to home.
I will say, though, I mean, folks, look, I always let you know this because I think it's an important thing to just understand where the people are at.
And I'm convinced, I'm convinced that most people in political media have no social life.
I'm almost completely convinced they have no social life at all because they wouldn't be saying the things they say or believe the things that they believe if they did.
So that's what I'm telling you.
When I go out, when I get recognized at the places that I go or, you know, I talk with my friends or all the different social circles I'm in, Israel is the number one thing people talk about, folks.
It is the number one thing, and it's not in a positive light.
Not in a positive light.
And then I would say now, you know, obviously people asking me about Charlie.
And again, not that anybody's reaching conclusions.
They're just saying they don't believe the official story.
So this is what I'm hearing.
I mean, this is what I get incoming every time I go out and talk to people and they want to ask me about politics.
I hesitate to give that number out or give that email out too often because then it becomes this situation where I get so much incoming, I can't even be effective.
unidentified
But for any tried emailing you at that, at that, and I just, I got a like, it didn't really work out too well, Owen.
So I don't know if it was like I put in something wrong, but are you sure that's the one to reach out to you?
Yeah, well, I think that that's something that the American people are starting to get wise to.
And, you know, they're going to try to, let's see what happens with the next level of social media censorship because you know it's coming.
You know it's coming.
They're starting to test.
unidentified
It is, Owen.
But here's the thing.
I think we can get ahead of it, Owen.
And I think it's time for the millennials and some of the Gen Z people that are serious to really start getting in positions of power and leadership, I think, because the boomers are really stealing our youth and they're stealing all of our time here to really do stuff.
And they're not allowing us to innovate and to do things of high stature because either A, they don't really agree with it or two, they can't understand it.
So therefore, we all lose out because the boomers can't sign off on it.
Naturally, though, organically, they're phased out of the process.
And so now they're kind of already in their final election cycles.
Not to be morbid, but that's just the truth.
But see, I see something else happening.
What I see happening now is, you know, a lot of Americans don't leave the country.
And you don't have to.
We got everything we need here in America.
So that's not a slight if you don't leave the country.
But a lot of Americans don't live the country.
So now when they see stuff that's happening in Dubai or the UAE or even Qatar or Saudi Arabia or Japan or China or Russia, they see these things happening in all these other countries and they're just saying, well, what the heck?
Why don't we have any of this stuff?
Why is our infrastructure all old and decaying?
Why when we build something new, it looks like a jailhouse.
It looks like a, you know, it's dull.
It's boring.
And they see, so, but now thanks to social media and the internet, everybody can kind of see all this stuff.
I wouldn't be surprised if somebody tries to censor any of that stuff getting into our consciousness.
They want Americans to believe that this is as good as it gets.
They want Americans to think, oh, it's just normal with all the crime and all the homelessness and the potholes and the degradation.
They want you to think that's normal.
But if you can look at the Chinese communists, the dirty commies in China, and they have better infrastructure than us.
Again, I'm not promoting China.
China's got its own problems.
I don't want a social credit score.
I don't want a surveillance state.
But if you're going to sit here and tell me that we're beating China in infrastructure, you're just lying.
We can have better stuff than China.
We have to have better policy.
So I think this is the realization.
I think this is the inevitable realization.
And then what conclusions you reached as far as what has to be done to correct course, you know, time will tell.
Well, I wanted to tell you that those houses didn't used to be there that close to the shoreline, you know, 30, 20, 10 years ago.
The beach has just eroded so badly that is literally a sandbar.
So honestly, there used to be many, many, many houses in front of those, but these are the houses that the storms have just beaten over the course of the years and they are demolished.
So I just kind of wanted to call that.
I want to just say thank you for, you know, having your new show.
I don't want to take up a lot of time, but love listening to you.
Missed you for the last several weeks.
And Godspeed and lots of prayers for your new show.
You know, and I'll just say too, you know, this is for me, this is a long-term thing.
This is, I want to do this the rest of my life.
I want to do this till I'm 100.
I want to be on air till like literally I'm on air and they're shoveling me, they're shoveling dirt on top of me.
So this is a long-term thing for me.
And that's why I'm not as because normally I'm like, I kind of am like a tyrant.
Like I like my schedule very structured.
I was a friend of mine was making fun of me because I'm like in the movie Wally, there's the little foreign contaminant robot that's constantly going around cleaning.
So normally I'd be like very like, oh my gosh, nothing can go wrong here with all the little tech issues.
But for me, this is a long-term thing.
And so I'm, you know, if the audience is patient with me, I really appreciate that.
And I know some people aren't.
They're going to see one issue and they're going to, you know, just leave and whatever.
That's fine.
I'll hopefully recover that audience.
But to me, it was very important for me to run everything the first week, deal with the tech issues.
That way, whenever anything happens in the future, I know exactly what it is, how to identify it, how to fix it.
And then I can impart that knowledge onto my producer who's going to be joining us definitely next week.
We may bring him in before the end of this week just to bring him in.
But yeah, just like today, I figured out why the videos were having an echo and then how to fix that with the phone line because now there's different audio things I have to fix when I do that.
I'd like to eventually streamline the whole thing, but now you're talking like, you know, there's a lot more growth that has to happen.
Basically, where this studio is at, I built this whole studio.
I built the whole thing, engineered the whole thing.
But it's like for somebody to run it and do it all themselves, this is about as far as it can go.
So the next thing would have to be spending a ton of money, bringing in a bunch of different equipment that'll kind of like automate and doing everything.
But that's why I'm dealing with these issues because I'm automating everything.
I don't have the advanced technology that's automating everything on the back end.
I'm literally doing it all myself.
So that's just why it happens.
But I do appreciate the patience of people because you're going to have some glitches and stuff.
But I have to go through the process to learn it, figure out the glitches, know what causes it, and then impart that knowledge to the producer when they join.
Like, I think one thing I want to do is, and I appreciate the call.
Thank you for those kind words.
Tell your son to tune in.
You know, maybe we can get him.
You know, he doesn't have to, we don't have to agree on everything, but some things.
But the one thing I do think I want to do now is instead of having my typical stacks of news like I do, I think I kind of want to organize it a little more and like put them into actual stacks with like a paperclip so that I can kind of tighten things up on here because it gets a little hairy up here sometimes.
And I mean, who would want to miss?
Who would want to miss a story like this?
New York Judge upholds Nassau County's transgender athlete ban.
All right.
So obviously men shouldn't be competing against women, but this is more of a niche sport.
It's the roller derby.
Can you imagine a man out there with the women at the roller derby?
That's got to be the most dangerous.
That's, you know, that's a pretty high-octane, dangerous sport.
A New York judge yesterday upheld a Long Island County's law banning transgender women.
It's a longer way of saying man from playing on female sports teams at county-run parks and recreational facilities.
In a decision in a suit brought by a roller derby league, Judge Konsens wrote that Nassau County's band is designed to protect women and girls and that transgender athletes can still play in co-ed sports leagues at the county's facilities.
Oh, yeah, there you go.
The court agrees that this local law is narrowly tailored to achieve the objectives and does not categorically exclude transgenders from athletic participation.
The law regulates access to women and girls categories in the county-run facilities for organized athletic events.
So you had men that wanted to compete with the Long Island Roller Rebels.
But this is what's even crazier about it: It's the women's roller derby league that is suing to allow men to compete with women.
I mean, this is clown world stuff.
That's total clown world stuff.
That would probably be the most dangerous, I think, for a woman to compete against a man, honestly, of all the things we've seen.
Why would they want that?
What are you doing?
And so it's like part of me says, okay, fine.
Give them what they want until they're sick of it.
You really think liberal women are going to be happy when there's no more women playing their sports?
It's all men?
Of course not.
So part of me is like, fine, let the men dominate your sports, and then you'll complain and you'll admit that we were right.
And until then, just let the men beat you at everything.
Yeah, I don't see it getting better, unfortunately.
I don't see it getting better.
And I think, you know, for me heading into this, the best shot that Trump had or the most faith or patience I would have given Trump would have been on the economy.
And I know he inherited a disaster, but he's partially responsible for that.
You know, the shutdown, the COVID shutdown was such an economic nuclear bomb that we'll never recover.
That's permanent damage.
And he's partly responsible for that.
He let that happen.
So that's permanent damage to our economy that we'll never recover from.
It's just not going to happen.
And then you can talk about the illegal invasion and that had a little impact, but that's easier to recover from.
I'm getting less and less hopeful about the economy as the days pass.
And I think what's happened is there's just too much.
This administration is trying to do too much.
And I think President Trump gave it a legitimate effort.
He gave it a good faith effort to get peace done in as many countries, having war as possible.
But it's time to stop.
It's time to tell Netanyahu, we're done doing business.
It's time to tell Zelensky, we're done doing business.
And it's time to start focusing on American interests.
And the economy is the biggest one.
But, you know, he comes out and says the economy is great.
And so it's just like, that's just a lie.
So I think Trump himself is kind of stuck in this like New York City mindset with all of his rich friends.
And it's like, if the economy is doing well and his millionaire friends are making millions of dollars, then the economy is doing great.
And he's more separated from the working class American now than he ever has been.
And I think that it's starting to show.
I think that it's starting to show.
Because no, the economy is not doing great.
No, the economy is not getting better.
Gas prices are still high.
Energy costs are going up.
And yeah, the tariff situation is a tough thing to make it work, but he can make it work.
But it's like, where is that?
Where are we at?
Where are we at on that?
Nobody's talking about it anymore.
It's everything else but the economy.
Where are the taxes being cut?
Where is Doge?
So it doesn't look good.
I don't think it looks good, to be honest.
Hope I'm wrong because that's, you know, in a way, it's everything.
It's the economy.
It's the economy stupid, as they say.
But I don't see it getting any better, unfortunately.
I would say yes, but I think it's going to be a little different where Owen Schroyer Live will kind of just happen randomly when there's something breaking or, you know, something I want to cover.
I'm going to be doing kind of interview style stuff or moderate debates, you know, profile pieces I'm going to be doing in the evenings.
So that's not going to be under Owen Schroyer Live, but it'll still be on these same channels.
Like tonight, I'm moderating a debate between Jason Goodman and Chris Martinson.
And then tomorrow, I guess I'm having a debate with Ezra Levant over Israel.
And then next week, I have a scheduled interview with a former WWE superstar.
So I think that, you know, the Owen Schroyer Live stuff will probably just be when stuff is breaking or there's something happening at night that I want to cover.
But I think the content is going to be more focused on the Owen report.
And then when I do interviews, it's going to be usually at night after the show.
unidentified
Yeah, because you were doing that every Monday night.
And I really like that, the way you presented that show.
And I loved how you always played the music.
And because I love metal, I listen to metal.
And, you know, hearing your songs that you select, I always love it.
Yeah, well, I understand why they do it, though, because it's like once you reach a certain point, it's just a brand and it just makes money because it's a brand.
So I think that the industry just says, hey, we got to keep the brand going because it's going to make money.
Hi, so I was just calling in to find out if you've ever read anything about General Patton because I feel like there's a lack of historical digging into like General Patton and World War II and how we ended up with this Israeli first situation.
I'm not going to claim to be the leading expert, but I've read into that.

So were you aware that, for example, the people connected in the European theater, they put in this bureaucracy over the generals and he was one of the first to be removed from the front lines?
So I do think that that stuff is very relevant when we talk about current policies in the Middle East.
I'm bringing it up only because I've listened to Nick Fuentez and quite a few other people, but they never seem to have like a historical background to really dig into it.
And actually, I'd say Nick has a pretty good, a pretty good knowledge base on that stuff.
The problem is when you try to, you know, they call it revisionist history.
They've created this entire propaganda protection bubble where it's like, you're not even allowed to debate history.
It's like, no, whatever you were taught is the truth.
And it's like you can't even debate it.
Even after everything we've been through, it's like, dude, you've now living through multiple historical precedent lies.
You've literally lived through multiple historical precedent lies.
You really think that's a new real time.
It's like it was even worse back then.
It was even worse before the internet.
It was even worse before the TV.

The books that I've collected on Patton are published quite a few decades back, and some of them are memoirs.
Some of them are hard to find online because it's probably being erased.
But his own writings, he said, we fought the wrong enemy.
And in the context of his own words, you know, he was stating that when he was governor of Bavaria during the occupation at the end of the war, he was very upset that the generals in the European theater of basically pre-NATO were saying that he was not to engage with Stalin's forces when he knew that he could have engaged them if he would have incorporated the 200,000 captured Weimar soldiers.
He could have protected Prague, Berlin.
Those were the jewels of the World War II conflict.
And he was watching as the U.S. government just allowed these communists to take it.
And then he was removed as governor of Bavaria because he employed the qualified people to rebuild Bavaria, which were Germans.
And so U.S. FET came in, and the two that were in charge of that, they have some cultural backgrounds that are very questionable as to a certain group that likes to remove people from their jobs for saying the wrong things.
And General Patton, being an American firster, you know, I think that he was the first casualty of that whole America first thing began back then.
And I was just going to ask, in the future, do you plan on having the secondary camera to kind of like hover over your news stack when you're like quoting sources and reading from news articles and stuff?
So that way I can use you as a reference when I'm like with my friends and stuff.
Well, this shot right here is kind of that shot, but the exact overhead camera you're talking about, no, not.
I don't, I don't think this is pretty much what you've seen so far is pretty much what you're going to get.
Aside from the malfunctioning cameras here today, I don't know what's up with that, but no, what you see is pretty much what you're going to get.

Awesome, man.
Okay, cool.
Yeah, no worries at all.
Yeah.
And then another thing yesterday, I ran into, I know you've never talked about it, but I ran into a First Amendment auditor.
And, you know, I was just thinking, like, in terms of activism and just in terms of where we are as a country, I know like a lot of people really hate on the First Amendment auditors, right?
On both sides, that's really everyone.
I just, I just wanted to say, you know, it takes a lot of courage, you know, and this is kind of going to where, you know, this is going to be relevant in one second.
All I'm trying to say is that, you know, sometimes I ride my scooter around and stuff, and you should always, you know, film the cops.
Like, I hate to, you know, I don't know how you guys feel about all that, but, you know, I always like to film the cops because you could save the cops' life and you could save the suspect's life.
And, you know, when I was riding my scooter and I pulled my camera out and started recording, I'm like, man, it's actually, you know, very, very nerve-wracking.
It's very, it's very difficult.
So, you know, and then that goes to what you're doing and what, you know, the independent media is that it's very difficult to do what you're doing.
So, yeah, I have a lot of appreciation, you know, even hypothetically, if I didn't agree or if there was any liberals, you know, trying to do what, you know, we're doing in terms of independent media.
I just don't really see it on the left.
But, you know, I really appreciate what you guys do, man.
It's very hard to get up there by yourself and, you know, do what you're doing.
Yeah, I talked to you a number of years ago, and I still say that somebody with a lot of bucks has got to buy up MSNBC or something like that because people still say, Where did you hear that?
And it bugs the hell out of me.
I don't know what to tell you.
I know your podcast and other people, it's not getting to the people.
They don't believe what I say when I tell them what I hear on what you guys say.
You know, I actually do believe that there are tech demons that follow me around.
There you go.
There's crazy Owen.
You want Crazy Owen?
There's Crazy Owen.
I have tech demons that follow me around.
Everywhere I go, this always happens.
Is tech issues.
And then I bring in the tech people and they're like, I have no idea what's going on.
I think a tech demon follows me around.
There's a tech demon that follows me around, tries to stop me from broadcasting, but it's not going to work.
We're still here.
We'll always find the way.
I don't know.
We'll figure it out.
Just these tech demons, man.
So, you remember that James Bond story?
And I've thought this for a while because I'm a big 007 fan.
I love the movies, all of them.
It's hard for me to say which James Bond is my favorite, but it's like, how do I, I've always wondered how I express it's time for James Bond to go back.
You know, the new movies were fine, and Daniel Craig was good, but it's not, it's going the wrong direction.
You don't want like this serious thing where you're trying to convince us that what we're watching is real.
It's like, yeah, you can put some real stuff in there.
So I saw this and it summed it up perfectly.
This guy named Scott McRae.
I guess yesterday was James Bond or is today is James Bondi?
Because I guess it's 007-1007.
For James Bond Day, I watched Moonraker this evening.
Preposterous, silly, stupid, and absolutely irresistible.
Moments of terror and genuine beauty.
Great performances and embarrassments.
A glorious mess of a film.
Inject it directly into my veins.
That's what we need.
We need to go back.
Whoever they bring back for the next James Bond, it's time to go back.
It's time to be funny again.
It's time to be ludicrous again.
You can still have the plot line like you always have, but let's make it funny again.
Let's get pussy galore flying her airplanes above Fort Knox.
Let's get Octopussy with James swimming around in hidden tunnels.
Hey, here's good news for America.
Rosie O'Donnell has applied for Irish citizenship and she intends to stay in Ireland.
This is the best news that we've had for the Make America Great Again cause in a long time.
Great news.
Rosie O'Donnell might be done.
Might be officially over there in Ireland.
Maybe she'll be funny again.
Maybe.
She did do a funny video complaining about Trump the other day that was funny.
I don't think, I don't know if she intends to be funny, but it is funny.
All right, last caller of the day.
What's your name?
Where are you from?
unidentified
Holy mackerel, I got through.
My name is Joe Riley.
My son is Dave Riley.
And I think he can help Owen out a little bit with the engineering because he does a podcast called The Backlash, and he sits there and does all of the, you know, the technical work.
And I would catch it once in a while on InfoWars, but now I can see on, I figured out how, talking about tech issues, I figured out how to get Rumble on my television.
