Knowledge Fight - #1073: Farewell, Sweet Ding-Dong

Episode Date: September 3, 2025

In this installment, Dan and Jordan convene an emergency meeting to discuss the breaking news that Owen Shroyer has quit his job at Infowars, where they attempt to figure out how everything went wrong.

Olin is busting his, his ass, doing more than I ever did at his age, and I hope he can pull you overshadowed as soon what I've done. Owen Schroier, they've already had your mic attack. That's in the news. He was just attacked. He was going to harass me right now. Let's go talk to him because I know somebody screamed at Roger that he was a traitor. Don't me.

He thought my mic. They're attacking him. He didn't touch them. They have been trained for this. You got a lot of cameras on. He listened to me. I'm going to go to break for three minutes. He said it's a lie.

Anybody? He wants to try to humanize them and talk to them. He gets baited. And I'm not mad at Ellen. This is real TV and radio. So you're in front of all the news cameras. It's like I'm a ghost trying to talk to living. That's what you like.

Like, you know, your child is using fentanyl. I'm a ghost. I saw it. They'll take it away. It's under their bed. And they don't hear me. Owen, speak to the news cameras about what happened to Roger. It doesn't even have it.

It's the way. But it's okay. It's just how it always works. No, that's that. No more coverage from Owen Troyer. They say something to him. He's got to respond to him. And then that's the end of it.

So do your own live feed, Owen. You're doing a great job. This is what the fake news has done to this country. This is what the Democrat. Do they just grab our mic? There's lost audio. Let Owen know they need to reconnect. The water got pulled out.

Can you give a statement for Alex Jones? Fuck you. That's what you get, Alex. Hey, everybody. Welcome back to knowledge fight. I'm Dan. I'm Jordan. We're a couple of dudes who like to sit around.

We're supposed to the altar of Salee and talk a little bit about Alex Jones. Oh, indeed we are, Dan. I have a little giggle attack because we had not listened to that DJ Danarky new remix. Absolute gold. Oh, my God. Great. What wonderful stuff. This world, all right, you used to have to wait weeks, nay, months for someone to put together music that would be a modicum is good at.

And then they have to put it in a wax cylinder and send it over by horse carriage. Less than 24 hours. This motherfucker is ripped audio from the goddamn world and turned it into something amazing. Owen Schroier announced that he'd quit at InfoWars less than 24 hours before we're recording right now. Wild. Yesterday was a day. Yeah. Wow.

So anyway, thank you, Dan Arkey. That was amazing. That was amazing. How could that not be a bright spot? I mean, there can be no greater bright spot than that. Yeah. But arguably, I would say that today is a tough day to have a bright spot. Yeah.

Because the world is a little dimmer, a little darker, because Owen Troyer is no longer an Info Warrior. Does that, interesting. What if you're removing a shade? Does that mean that there is a more light? It's brighter out. I don't know. Why didn't you ask Bill Gates what's going to happen when he removes the blocking of the sun? The blocking of the sun?

That's a good point. Well, I mean, would it not be brighter because it would just raise the level of normal? Sure. Right? Yeah. So it would have to be, yeah. Sure. Yeah.

Okay. All right. Here's the situation. I'm abstaining from a bright spot and reverence for Owen Troyer. Okay. Do you have a bright spot? No, we, we shall. I mean, if one, if then the other, I think that makes the most sense.

That's fair. Yeah. That's fair. I went through so many emotions in figuring out what I was going to do. Yeah. I thought about the sound of silence. sure I thought about Michelle Branch's great song goodbye to you fair enough there's a lot of farewell type song there are quite a few a lot of needle drops I was

thinking about making but I decided none of them how many songs have Owen in them and Owen are how many songs refer to an Owen is there Taylor Swift does Taylor Swift talk about an Owen in her life to all of her albums and reviewed that was a long time ago You should know if anyone. I listened to them, throw it in away. I know the hits. All right. She doesn't mention Owen in blank space.

No, I can't remember in Owen. Owen was not trouble when he walked in. Hmm. Nope. Look, hey, shit's tough. Yeah. It's tough. And we've got an episode today to talk about what has happened in the last, I mean,

it's not just the last 24 hours, really. This is a culmination of some things that have been bubbling under the surface. and oh what a mess What a mess All right So we'll get down to business on On some of that But first let's take a little moment

To say hello to some new wongs That's a great idea So first Sorry for dragging you into this bruncle Thank you so much You're now a policy wonk I'm a policy wonk Thank you very much

Thank you next Brian the 44 year old Former Mormon father of six Faithfully and fastidiously Making his way through the full knowledge fight catalog Thank you so much You're now a policy walk I'm a policy won't Thank you very much

Thank you, and Isamadian E. Alex, thank you so much. You're an aisle a policy walk. I'm a policy won. Thank you very much. I decided not to cheat, because there is phonetic spelling after it. I gave you the opportunity. Yeah, I was off. And we got a technocrat in the mix.

So thank you so much, too. Charlie Sheet says trans rights. Thank you so much. You're now a technocrat. I'm a policy wonk. Four stars. Go home to your mother and tell her you're brilliant. Someone, someone, Sodomite sent me a bucket of poop.

Daddy shark. Bam, bop, bomb, bam. Jar Binks has a Caribbean black accent. He's a loser, little, little titty baby. I don't want to hate black people. I renounce Jesus Christ. Thank you so much. Yes, thank you very much.

So, Jordan, we've really, we've hit the ground running. Right. I think that the intro theme song and just some sort of palpable excitement. Yeah. Has made it so we can't. We've started with a piece of information as if everybody already knows. Right, right, right. The news for us is monumental, but it is also possible that somebody maybe doesn't just know.

Right. Yeah. This isn't automatically. It wasn't like a U-2 album that gets sent to everyone's phone. I like that reference. Wasn't that like 20 years ago now? It's the only time I can think of that an album was forced on everyone. That is a good point.

Well, the backlash to it was pretty severe. Yeah. There was no like push notification, Amber Alert situation that Owen Troyer, had left his job at InfoWars. Right, right, right. And that was announced September 1st, Labor Day. Labor Day. On one level, I feel a little conflicted about the whole thing,

especially the timing of it. It's coming out that it's news on Labor Day, and I'm supposed to be celebrating a guy not working. I mean, there is that. The irony is... It's there. I'm tortured. Yeah.

So Owen sucks a lot, and he doesn't have the goods to make it on his own in the hyper-competitive world of right-wing propaganda and supplement sales. So his departure from Infoars really seems like a big show. shock. He'd been through so much with Alex and he'd never left. He was there through Trump losing in 2020. He was there as COVID happened. He was there on January 6th, then he ended up going to jail. He gave a deposition in the Sandy Hook case where attorney Bill Ogden got him to say

that he was a puppet. He was there as Alex set idly by and let Gene Hackman die. He watched his position as Alex's heir apparent get usurped by Chase Geyser and then again by Nick Fuentes. And through all of that, he didn't leave. Mm-hmm. But now he's gone. Obviously, good riddance and rest and piss and all that shit, but for real, this is a major moment in Infowars trajectory. Owen came to InfoWars in the period around the 2016 election, and he'd got Alex's

attention by being the guy who would go out to protest and antagonize people. He'd get into fights and just post the parts that made him look smart and cool on YouTube, which earned him the title of The Cuck Destroyer. In some ways, this is kind of the next generation evolution of Alex. Alex's whole thing. He made a name for himself by antagonizing people with a bullhorn and by selectively editing videos in a way that made him look like a crusading hero. Alex made a big scene on camera at the DMV when he refused to get thumb scanned, but he

was sure not to record the part where he came back later and went along with the process because he needed to get his driver's license to go to work. I mean, everybody needs a driver's license. I'm not crazy. What are you going to do? Yeah, what are you crazy? Owen was playing the same sort of game, but in the new generation, it was much crueler, and his version really only worked when it was.

was able to make someone else look like a fool. So he built a name for himself by giving other people he included in his video's names, like AIDS Scrillix and all of these side characters. Man, there's a, there's a resume in there, huh? Mm-hmm. And he made it to the big leagues. Alex brought him in, and over the years since, Owen has got less and less interesting by the day,

as he became a piece of the furniture at Info Wars. He's gotten older and less brash, which dampens the whole Cuck Destroyer thing. he's hosted the war room for years and no one cares it's not syndicated on radio stations he doesn't have other sponsors than Alex's dumb shit and the show garners so little respect that Steve Bannon decided to call his show the war room and he forced Alex to be okay with it

used the same name disrespect just took it Owen should have quit long ago but there was nowhere to go he's not that talented but he also just doesn't have a place he's a news anchor or at least he thinks that he is And that's a job that no one needs anymore.

And unfortunately for Owen, the audience that he's cultivated particularly despises news anchors. Anchors are exactly what their name implies. They anchor the show. They hold it in place and keep things where they need to be. They're boring and their personality is not a relevant factor in whether or not they're doing a good job. And they don't exist in right-wing media. Right-wing media can only exist based on constant motion. I've made the metaphor of a Jesus lizard before or Wiley Coyote running off a cliff.

As long as they keep moving, they don't fall. The second you acknowledge that the ground isn't solid, you're done, so you have to keep moving. Every headline you come across is actually about some other story, and it all connects, and if you just keep talking, people will forget what you were saying, and it doesn't matter that none of it makes sense. This media format is based on chaos and motion, whereas an anchor is the embodiment of stability and steadiness. Owen has always thought that he was being an anchor, but he doesn't realize that that's a vestigial position in the media field that he works in.

On the one hand, what an anchor does hurts the process of InfoWars-style media, but on a more important level, the audience distrusts anchors and inherently feels like they're liars. Alex yells about how all the people in the news are like their teleprompter readers, being fed globalist scripts, and a big part of that is just attacking them for being professional. They don't have emotional outbursts on air and rant about sci-fi movies they kind of remember because that's not their job. Their job is to deliver information in an understandable and concise manner. But that detachment from baser human impulses can look like deception to suspicious minds, and Alex prays on those suspicious minds. The entire ecosystem that InfoWRs represents is built in opposition to that, the dinosaur media, the MSM,

and their audience doesn't want dry newsreaders and anchors. They want personalities, they want drama and excitement. Alex didn't hire Owen because he did solid work at the sports station that he worked at before. He hired him because he posted videos where he made fun of leftists and tried to make them cry. But I don't think Owen has ever fully understood that, that that is why he got hired. And that not understanding is part of what makes him so painfully uninteresting as an InfoWars host. Owen thinks he's a news anchor, and it's probably because he was a straight, sports guy before he got hired at InfoWars.

But he gave up that whole thing. That whole thing is gone to pursue the path that he decided to take instead. He bullied people and made fun of people at protests and that opened the door to Infoars for him. And when he stepped through that door, there were no anchors. There are no straight up reporters. There are personalities and characters working to push the narrative and sell pills. So right now, he's either completely fucked or he's perfectly situated.

to exploit the current situation in the world. Alex is blowing up his own ship and ruining whatever legacy he thought he might be able to hold on to. He's cheerleading Trump's clear police state actions and clearly signaling that Trump covering up the Epstein stuff isn't important enough for him to care about. But he's also about to lose his company. And with it, he's going to lose the InfoWore's name and brand.

Alex is weak because of the consequences he's suffering, but also because he's making decisions that cut against the grain of the worldview he's sold. and he's also promoting Nazi shit. And that's where Owen's dilemma falls. As it stands, Alex can't appeal to the Nazi types in his audience by pretending to be one of them. That's a lost cause. He has too much baggage.

He could never really convince them he's cool. But Owen could. Owen could market himself as the guy who left Info Wars because Alex wasn't letting him speak freely. Alex wouldn't let him name names and call out the Jews. He could craft a new space for himself, but it would mean being a person. pretty open Nazi, and completely burning Alex. On the flip side, he could notice Alex's clear drift towards anti-Semitic shit and towards supporting the police state and everything InfoWars is supposed to be against, and brand himself

as the real Info Wars. Alex lost his way and got a caught up chasing power, and Trump's cult of personality seduced him into forgetting his principles, but Owen remembers. He tried to make it work on the inside and tell the point where Alex was clearly irredeemable, and he just had to quit. Owen didn't leave the party? The party left him. He could do that. These are the two paths that could work for him, but ultimately neither are really going to get him that far. He sucks, and no one would have ever heard his name if he hadn't gotten hired at Info Wars, so that level of talent is going to

even things out eventually. If he tries to become a Nazi guy, he's not going to be the best Nazi guy in that immediate space. If he tries to be the real Info Wars guy, he's not going to be great at that either. He has a fairly short window where he's anything other than just a guy. For a little while, he gets to be the guy who left Info Wars. And if he capitalizes on that right, he might be able to buy a little bit of time, but it's not going to last. He's an anchor in a media space that doesn't need anchors, and he's not good enough of an Alex impersonator to stand out on his own as a personality in this space. So I wish Owen the least safe of travels in his future endeavors, but the question remains, why did he quit? Did he quit? That's what he

says he quit yeah i would argue that based on his telling of the story that we're going to get through later i think he was fired yeah i think he was i i i okay so here's what i know all right um somebody sent us an email with the heading owen leaves info wars which is very frustrating because i almost didn't know about it i almost made it imagine if you didn't know when you got here just i just i just i've left the internet almost entirely you know like i could have i could have escaped oh that's so and it's frustrating but But I get it. I wonder if you would...

Could you have processed that information in the moment? In the moment, I don't know. Our employer's gone. I mean, because I still kind of can't in a way, unless... Here's what I'd say, right? You, uh, maybe you have some friends in the old radio. It's easy to change your name, especially to a nomda radio. Well, his name is Jonathan.

There you go. Go somewhere else. Pretend you never went to InfoWars. Do sports again. Jonathan, whatever your mom is. mom's maiden name is. Yeah, absolutely. Leave it all behind and just be like, man, the pets.

And that's it. Just do that. Perfect. Your life is 10 times better. Yeah. Right? I mean, honestly, we're going to talk a little bit about Owen taking some calls and a few of these people brought up sports things and he lit up like a Christmas tree.

Of course he did. How great is it? But here's the problem, right? Wasn't he making almost like 150, 200 grand? Like, he was making a shit ton of money. I don't remember the precise numbers, but I remember being shocked. We were all like, no, you shouldn't, you shouldn't be paying him that much money. You would not be commanding the salary anywhere else.

Yeah, absolutely not. And, yeah, and I think that that's part of the trouble. Yeah. But why do you quit? I want to know. I don't know why he quit. I don't know why he quit. He's put up with so many humiliations in the past so far.

Like, it just doesn't seem like it would have to be something fairly major. I mean, I suppose, I suppose. If you wanted attention, like if you wanted to do some attention seeking right now before InfoWars is completely gone with hopefully a whimper, make a blowup, you know, make a big fight. And then, you know, Owen can get his, like, the New York Times reporters are slobbering over like, oh, do you, why does Alex suck pieces? Those are going to be everywhere. Well, maybe if he goes along with it. That's a choice that he can make. Based on what I've seen from what he's put out,

I don't think that that's the direction that he wants to go. So I don't know if those pieces will be written. Go back to sports. He might talk to somebody on background or something, but I don't know if he wants to do like a Josh Owen style article. That's what you do.

That's the move. It would be a move to do. But I think that that would hurt him. Like there is no audience to chase in that direction. Right. You would get a little bit of momentary attention out of like Schadenfreude. from New York Times readers, like, ha-ha, I knew they were full of shit.

Yep. Or whatever, but it wouldn't last. Those people wouldn't come over to you. No, because two weeks later, you get back together. Sure. It's no big deal. And the only audience you have to chase is further right. Right.

The only real audience that's relevant that Owen could be tapping into is like, just admit you mean Jews when you say globalists. That's really the only people he has to look for. Right. Doing anything else or trying to be close. to, like, mainstream respectability? Ridiculous. It's going to be, like, the audience that you could have captured is just going to be like,

oh, you left to sell out even more. Yeah. Or whatever. All right. How about this? You send him out for a couple weeks to come back with a new persona, like a wrestler. You know? He's gone a couple of weeks, and then all of a sudden we've got new Owen.

Who's this Jacques character? Right? He's got a mustache. He's going deep. Jacques Schroved. What? Yeah. Kiski's a pass.

Hell yeah. It's about time somebody took it to the French. The test leibs. Um, no, I, I do want to say one thing before we even get into any of this. Sure. I don't exclude the possibility that maybe this is a prank of some sort. Sure, sure, sure. And that Owen hasn't quit or whatever.

Sure, who knows. Whatever. If that's, if that's the case, then good on you. All of my insults, insults still stand. And I still think all of these things about all of you. Either way, I don't actually care about this. You didn't, like, prank me and get one over on me. This is fun, or it could not be happening.

I find no difference between the two. Yeah. So I wanted to understand the situation and what was going on. So what I decided to do was, let's go look at the last full day that Owen was at the war room. Okay. And see if we can find any clues in his coverage. We're doing a Roshaman. Well, I mean, it's the last piece of evidence.

That's there. Right. So we're starting here on the 26th. That was a Tuesday. Last Tuesday was his last day fully at the war room desk. I mean, I don't know how else to explain it. The Trump administration is going fascist. I mean, it's fash light is what we're calling it.

I mean, getting a 10% stake in Intel, now they're looking at getting stakes in these defense contractors. So when it comes to a place, politics. I am more of a pragmatist than anything else. I mean, myself personally, I'm a conservative. Myself personally, I'm on the right, maybe a little socially liberal, but I don't, I don't live in a tyranny. I'm not a dictator. So you have to be pragmatic. So I'm not somebody that comes on here as a big anti-fascist, but it certainly is a concerning thing. Now, I don't see the big Antifa movements out in the streets now, ironically enough. They never were.

They're really going fascist. Well, he's wishy-washy on fascism. It does feel like you could, I feel like it's a safe, safe place to just be like, I'm not Antifa, but I am not cool with fascism. Yeah. I feel like that's a real safe position to have, unless you're worried that a large portion of your audience is kind of into fascism. I'm going to say this.

I would argue that perhaps the most American thing you could be. possibly do is be like no fascism thank you yeah it's uh it gets out of hand real fast yeah um i think that uh it's shocking to hear him just say that trump is going fascist yeah because pretty like almost objectively you could see that as a negative right and maybe owen doesn't mean it as like a just a full out and out negative sure thing yeah but it's not what you would expect to hear from like Alex yeah Alex isn't going to say that Trump is going fascist. No. And it's a level of, what would I say?

If you can see this now, what else could you have been seeing? Right. You know what I mean? Like, why now is this a thing? Yeah. Because it's been, this is not a new thing. No. No.

No, it's weird. It's a little bit surprising. Yeah. Especially the language, but it's not, it doesn't work. No. So he talks a little bit more. and it seems to think that Trump is lying about everything. Well, yeah.

I just don't get it. Yeah. I really don't. When Trump comes out and says how great the economy is doing and how all the prices are lowered and I'm just like, is anybody seeing this? I'm genuinely asking. Is anybody seeing this?

It's definitely not here. Not here in Austin, Texas. I mean, gas prices are down a little bit from the Biden administration. A little bit. It's not really budget change. changing. The grocery bills are certainly not down. If anything, they might be up, I guess depending on what you purchase. Well, and then just generally speaking, energy bills aren't going down here either. So I don't know what he's talking about with that. I don't know if that's somebody

telling him that that's the case or if somebody's feeding him numbers that are isolated in some area that's doing better. I don't know. If it's an average, I don't, nobody's telling me this is going on. So I'm going to get, I'm going to get Ed Dowd's opinion. You know, I'm just going to do this on air. Hey, guys, I got some weird noise in the studio. Can somebody just come in here and figure out what this is? This is bothering the hell out of me. Don't worry if you're in the background here.

It sounds like it's right behind me. Sorry to do that. It sounds like there's a rat running around the screens behind me. Anyway, that's fun. Maybe you might catch a rat live on air. Oh, boy. So it's clear that Owen has a perspective that's kind of unwelcome at Info Wars. He's able to accurately call Trump taking 10% stake in Intel fashion.

and he's able to see through the dear leader's lies about how well the policies are all going. This isn't good because if it's allowed to continue, he and Alex are going to drift further and apart, and it's going to be too clear that one of them is lying, or one of them is lying more and worse. But I'm curious about the sound issue that Owen's describing. I'm sure that he's actually hearing some kind of weird interference, but considering this is his last full show, it's interesting that he's talking about them catching a rat live on air. It's accidental poetry. Jordan. Yeah, there's something to be said there.

Yeah. Or maybe he was just like, man, this place is really shit now. They have not done anything and we're so covered with rats. That's probably more. Is that worse? Think about it this way, right? You can be embarrassed. You can be cucked by Alex, by so many people.

You can be replaced by Chase Geiser. But man, if there's 15 rats around you, it's time to go. Yeah, it's a sign. Yeah. But I also think that that is a perfect clip that I wouldn't think twice about if I just heard. But because it's the last day, his last full shift. It is interesting. It's just fun.

What? Here's what I don't like. I don't like having to confront the possibility that he did not always know that Trump was lying or that Trump was a liar. No, I'm sure he knew. Yeah. I'm sure he understood that. That can't not be the case. Yeah.

And yet here we are. I think he's lying. Yeah. What are you doing? It's, I think that he just, I have a functioning theory. Okay. I think that he thought he had more clout than he did. I think that he thought he could pull some weight around.

He thought that Alex valued him a little bit more than he actually did. Right, right. He thought maybe he could let the company line be the, company line and step out and say what he wants to say. Yeah, and do other things. Differentiate himself. Yeah, I think that being second banana at InfoWars made him feel like he might have value outside of the company, not realizing it's an artificial environment.

Right, right, right, right. And so I think that's what got him in trouble. And I think it might be part of what is allowing him to speak like about like this freely on the show. Not understanding that he's Encino Man and that the moment he gets outside of the ice, he's fucked. Yeah, yeah, okay. So he's on the show, and he's mostly just doing the same stuff you would always expect.

By the way, I want to make another point about that young girl in Scotland, standing up for herself against the Muslim invaders that, of course, they look at Western nations as weak. They're like, wow, you're just going to let us come into your country and give us stuff for free? You're weak and pathetic. Are you going to give us access to your daughters, too? and then nobody stops him Tommy Robinson tries he goes to jail for years so now this girl obviously knew this was going to happen that's why she brought a knife and a hatchet

she knew it was going to happen now I'm going to put that down for a second I want to switch to the trucker issue coming up here in five minutes but we are going to get back into that in a second here and then I kind of tease the situation going on at Fox which we've talked about before, but there's an interesting new development that might kind of, it could actually shake things up a little bit there.

We'll have that coming up momentarily. Want to let you know, though, ladies and gentlemen, it is your last chance gladiator giveaway blowout sale today and tomorrow only get a free $10 with any order at the Alex Jones store, no minimum spend required, just a free, $10 on us. Plus it's the final week to win both a 2025 Jeep gladiator Rubicon and a C8 Corvette stingray.

That's the fastest one they offer. That's a really fast car. That's a very fast car. Yeah. So a lot of the first hour of this show is Owen being really critical of Israel. He's far more able to directly criticize Netanyahu and the Israeli government than Alex, which is a stark difference between the two men's show. Alex dances around the question of whether or not there's a genocide being carried out

against the Palestinian people, and he throws smoke bombs into every conversation about like Mossad doing 9-11 or how Alex just doesn't want Palestinian refugees coming here. Conversely, Owen's able to speak more directly to the actual news events like hospitals being bombed and things like that. It makes him feel like he's doing radically different coverage than Alex, but he's actually doing mostly the same thing. I would have just left this alone and not even pointed it out, but I felt like I would be lying by omission if I didn't call it out, because I think that there's going to be a lot of people in the far-right spaces that'll say that Owen got fired because he was too critical of Israel. If Owen wants to give his future career a better

chance at success, he'll play into that too. That would be very smart of him. This is categorically not the reason that he and Alex would not be able to work together anymore, though. His coverage of Israel is a little less convoluted and all over the place than Alex's, but nothing he's saying is really that out of sync with what you hear on InfoWars pretty regularly. And that's kind of what that clip embodies. It's kind of business as usual. Owen's still doing his job and covering white victimhood narratives the way he's supposed to and whipping the audience into a little bit of an emotional state in order to transition to a sales pitch. It's classic info-war shit and he clearly has no problem playing the games like he always has. Let us give you $10. Please?

That was the most, listening to that, one, made me feel like this man was talking to himself in the middle of like I feel like this is a what makes the most sense for this type of stuff is for it to be on YouTube somewhere with like three views and maybe at the middle of the night you find it and you stumble upon it and you're like does anybody even know about this guy this is so weird he's alone why is he even doing this but instead there's people right like that's that's strange

but then to just be like oh well hey give a $10 on us You know, he does a little on us kind of thing. For nothing. Yeah. And you win a truck. Exactly. He does a little, he puts a little in there. I mean, it's what Chase said on one of our recent episodes.

It's a tough pitch. It is a tough pitch. Going from white genocide over into, hey, you want a truck and $10 free dollars? Sometimes I just want to see if people are doing okay and then go to the pitch. So there's some talk about Kilmar, Abrago Garcia. Sure. And the Trump administration is apparently, they failed to send him to El Salvador. Or they did, and then he had to come back.

Right. And now they want to send him to Uganda. Sure. Trump administration might deport Kilmar, Abrago Garcia, to Uganda. Obrego Garcia detained by ICE as possible second deportation looms. So he was due in court in Tennessee, and then he turned himself into ICE, where they detained him. are now threatening to send him to Uganda. Yeah, you know, for the 100 million foreigners that are here,

I think it's just time to say, you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here. It's not personal, you know. It's not a personal thing, but we have to take care of our country. So that's a pretty tough argument to defend without being pretty direct about white nationalism. I think a lot of Owen's ability to say this kind of stuff depends on his use of that idiom that you don't have to go home but you can't stay here.

He uses that expression to make what he's saying sound normal. Like it's just a common thing for someone to advocate. You don't have to go home but you can't stay here is an expression that's used by bouncers to kick people out of bars at the end of the night. Yeah. This is a scenario where the bar is closing and everyone is going home. The staff needs to get everyone out because they have to clean up and then they go home themselves.

No one is staying here. So the expression, you don't have to go home, but you can't stay here, is meant to be a playful way of saying, our part in your night is over. The law says we can't serve alcohol past a certain hour, and our business only exists to sell you alcohol, so goodbye. The situation Owen is describing is very different. He's saying that foreigners can't stay here,

whereas other people are going to be able to continue to stay here. The bar isn't closing, but some people aren't welcome anymore. Also, the bar isn't kicking people out. It's shipping them off to various other places. This bar is talking about sending someone to Uganda for no reason. What Owen is actually saying is that he's abandoned the pretense of caring where immigrants are sent when they're deported and no longer cares if they're treated as humans. Previously, they tried to pretend that it was important that people go back to the countries

where their families are from, but now he doesn't even care to try and make it look like that matters. Abrago Garcia was sent to El Salvador, which was illegal, because he had fled from El Salvador as a child. And the U.S. government had stipulated that he couldn't be sent back there without putting him in danger. They just wouldn't allow it. So when the Trump administration sent him to a prison in El Salvador,

they were forced to bring him back to the United States, which is a bit embarrassing, and now there's talk of sending him to Uganda. Owen's trying to dress this up with a foxy aphorism, but this isn't anything like a bar telling customers they need to get out because they're closing. This is a targeted discharge of certain customers, while the bar remains open, where the bar isn't just letting them out into the street to go home if they like, but sending them to Africa for no reason.

It's bullshit. I mean, listen, I understand all of that. But I'm frustrated because, and I hate to say this, I feel like the appropriate thing to say is you don't have to go home, but Uganda go. Yeah. That's right there. Well. It's right.

there. Yeah. It makes me frustrated that I can't focus on anything else until Uganda Go is available to me. It's very frustrating. You know, what? Okay. But Uganda go.

It just works. It's just right there. This is a tough question I need to ask and you need to be, you have to be brave in your response. Okay. Let's say that you're 100% opposed to Trump's immigration policies right now. Sure. If he just started winking and saying, Uganda, go, and, say,

sending people randomly to Uganda. Right. What percentage would it shift? What percentage would it shift? Would you get to be like 98% against? I mean, listen, playful discounts for a lot more than you might think. Wow.

You just want to wink in a pun. I mean, it would be nice if he said Uganda stay, but if you've got to go, you've gone to go. Terrible. So it turns out that Owen has a way that we could just not do these things. deportations thing right how is wait how are we doing that quiz show teleportation they don't know what to do about that deal well we should protest him we should not protest him he's got a history of beating his wife he's got a gang tattoos everywhere oh my gosh he's just a maryland bother oh

uganda Uganda I'll tell you what liberal okay it'll be fun all right I'll tell you what liberal okay this guy so much all right Come on over here. Come here. In fact, I got a world map behind me. I got a world map over here. Okay. Show me, liberal.

Show me Uganda on a map. And if you can do that, we'll let Kilmar-Abrego-Garcia stay with you. That'll be a little gift for you. Okay. What? So that clip feels like Owen in a really deep way. It's so dumb in a very specific style.

that I can only describe as Schroyer-esque. Yeah. He's trying to be funny, and I guess the ultimate point he's making is that liberals don't know where Uganda is on a map, and that's fun. I suppose.

That's good and well. If that's the point. But in order to make this point, Owen has to say that if you can point to Uganda on a map, then Abrago Garcia can stay with you. What? What kind of immigration policy is that? If liberals just study basic geography,

then all these people you think are so dangerous can stay in the country, it's stupid. Yeah. But what's going on here is that Owen is married two aspects of right-wing entertainment into a really bad combination. This is one part Info Wars host Blowing Hard and one part confrontational debate guy on a college campus. Sure. The confrontational debate guy does stuff like force the person they're debating to point to Uganda on a map because if they can't, then they look dumb and weak. Sure.

It's a tactic that relies on there being someone else there to humiliate, and when it works, you can use that to mask weak arguments that you're putting forth. The Info Wars host Blowing Hard is the voice that's trying to come up with a way to say, Hey, liberals, you don't want this dangerous person staying with you. This is a tactic that's best used solo, because if you make this point to the wrong person and they say, I have no problem with someone like Abrago Garcia staying in my home, now you look weak. Owen is trying to use this debate guy trick to dress up his InfoWars host point, and it just comes out looking like shit, because neither game is being played correctly.

There's no one there to fail to point out Uganda, so you can't dunk on anybody, and the idea that if someone can point to Uganda on a map, then these immigrants can stay, it makes it seem like you really aren't that worried about the danger these people represent. It trivializes what's supposed to be a very important fear that is behind the Info War. Owen sucks, and I think that this clip is a great representation of why. He's just not very good at any of this, and his teacher and mentor for the past almost decade has been Alex. man whose only gifts are things that can't be taught you can't you have to be traumatized into being Alex yeah yeah is it possible that Owen has just finally like Alex was just okay how about this Alex is like fuck it you know they're gonna close the whole thing down anyways I won't have to worry about any of this but then he watches this show and he listens to that and he goes you know

what he's fired i can't deal with this shit anymore that sucks you know what i that sucked yes i think i think that's possible if alex cared oh like i think that if you were in alex's position and you're like i have some standards i got to mind the store here this is ridiculous right then you would probably fire him but he's the other guy at a one talent business so the guy who's the one talent doesn't really care if this person's doing a good job or is funny or whatever he just needs to be alive yeah jesus okay how do we punch this up i can't no this is the worst thing i've ever heard in my entire life i refuse to take this on as a commission if you can point to uganda then he can stay with you all right is that

am i am i being insulted here or is this a bet well it's just a bad joke is it a joke well i guess it would be a bet if there were someone there to either correctly or incorrectly point to Uganda right right right he's betting that the other person wouldn't be able to and then he can laugh at them right so i'm not insulted yet yeah which is a problem for an insult it's gambling on an insult right but you gotta you gotta follow it up with something that like you know spices me you know that gets me in the gut yeah yeah but also if you know for it to work is a joke it doesn't really have much punch behind it no Because, like, what about me knowing where Uganda is, what does that have to do with whether or not it's appropriate for Trump to deport someone to a random country that they're not from and they have no connection to?

Right. Or for it to somehow be a massive negative for them to stay with me. Yeah. I mean, it's just, it's incomprehensible, but it has the sound and cadence of what they're supposed to sound like, which again is why Odin sucks. Yeah. Maybe he just got fired for sucking. I mean, look, if so, it's overdue. Owens Razor.

Yeah. All right. Well, he should shave. He has shaved in the past. So he is scared. He's a scared man who thinks that the United States is a war zone. Right. And therefore, we kind of got to have a police state.

Well, a Ukrainian refugee was here. I support this. I will admit it. This is very selfish of me, but can you blame me? I'm only a man. Irania Zarutka If only she was somewhere else Ukrainian refugee 23 years old

who fled war for safer life in the United States knifed to death by homeless career criminal in North Carolina To be clear I think Owen saying that he supports an attractive Ukrainian woman being here because she's attractive and he's a man not her being murdered

I don't think that he's saying that he's in favor of murdering her because she's a refugee. But again, he sucks so much, there's ambivalence there. He phrased it so poorly that it almost sounds like he's in favor of her murder. Yeah, yeah, yeah. I believe six previous arrests is what I had seen. Six previous arrests. And this woman is stabbed to death.

Now, this isn't really ironic. You say, oh, she leaves a war zone to get stabbed to death in America. No. that's not really irony folks you know what that is that's we are in a war zone what oh my gosh it's crazy to hear yeah that is a little disturbing that is a little controversial even but hold on a second guys pull up how many homicides are there in the united states every year we're talking about just gun

violence, knife violence. I mean, you're talking thousands. You're in the thousands. I don't know. I don't even remember. I don't even know if I sent the videos to the crew. I mean, folks, whatever is going on in Chicago right now is crazy. Crazy.

So, no, it's not ironic that this young Ukrainian woman leaves a war zone to die in America. No, that's the reality. You're not safe in a lot of these Democrat cities. You're not safe. So it's like, I don't like seeing the military on the streets, but guess what? There hasn't been a murder in Washington, D.C. So if the U.S. is a war zone, what does that mean?

Like, who qualifies as a combatant in Owen's mind? And, more importantly, is Owen willing to take responsibility for the kind of thing that he's breaching? here if the u.s is a war zone then certain laws certainly don't apply and you should his audience should be able to kill people it's a war all right so when i think of war beaches right i'm thinking a normandy right i'm thinking of issue is uh uh uh there's too many people firing guns at you while you're trying to enjoy the beach not enjoy but you know uh get over it right um now yesterday was Labor Day.

Yep. And I want to say that the beaches were as covered with joyful people as maybe I've ever seen them. You didn't see that saving private Ryan's scene happening on Michigan? No, there were so many people riding bicycles in the bike lanes waving at each other, wearing those hats with the little thing that goes up. Oh, oh, I know. And they were going, do, do, do, do, do, do.

Yeah, the problem is that you didn't go to the dog beach. Right. That was a blood bath. The dog beach was a blood bath? Oh, but, well, I mean, if somebody tried to hurt the dogs, it would be a bloodbath. No, the dog started it. Oh, well, you know, then they probably had a good reason. That's why we need federal kennels or some shit.

I'm on two dog 100%. So Owen should take a real hard look in the mirror about that thing he said about how it's hard to see troops on the street, but there's no murders in D.C. The first problem is that's not true. There have been murders in D.C. And incident-based crime reporting is never accurate up to the date. experts caution not to be so sure about whatever numbers you see for at least about six weeks. Even so, there have still been violent crimes and even murders in DC while Trump's been doing the shit. I mean, obviously.

But leaving that aside, am I to take away from this a belief that the police state is acceptable if crime is lower? A fundamental pillar of InfoWore's ideology has been breached, but it worked to lower the crime rates, so maybe it's good. Does Owen really expect anyone to believe that this is his sincere position? he's worked at InfoWRs for almost a decade and they almost declared independence from the United States because of DUI checkpoints while Obama was in office. Right. So I'm going to impolitely declined to take this seriously.

Right. This is some bullshit. Like, okay, so if you actually wanted to lower, quote, unquote, crime. Right. By increasing the military presence there, then maybe you just assign one guy per person. And if anybody's like, man, maybe I'm going to steal, this car that guy can be like no is that where we're at uh yeah sure i mean because i see no way that

the military being there can stop somebody from being in an alley somewhere well what if the military's in the alley well but what if they're not in the alley that's why that's why they need drones one to one everybody gets a drone yeah and there's always a drone watching you i can't see anything wrong with this dalek with a gun dalek with that we're back yep we're back in business maybe. Everybody's assigned to Dalek with a gun. Finally, we have a good idea. Yep. So Owen, I think he kind of likes

the police state. Weird. Yeah, what a dick. Option one is to continue as normal. You're in the wrong place at the wrong time, in the wrong city. You might get stomped out. You might get beaten out on the streets and robbed.

You'll be lucky if you can escape with your life. You might get stabbed. You might get shot. Again, I can't even this stuff is so insane right now i don't even know what i end up sending the crew and what i don't but i mean crazy videos on the new york city subway all this stuff happening in chicago so okay one option just continue as it is you're in one of these big blue cities you're who knows be careful out there you can't carry by the way okay option two this is what we see the Trump administration doing? Let's send in the military. Let's, let's militarize the streets and let's

show that you can stop crime. So you can put up a fight about it. You can say, I don't want to see this military in my streets. I don't want to see the American military turned in word to the U.S. cities. Like, okay, reasonable. Zero murders in D.C. And most of the D.C. residents support it. So I say, okay, you know what? Not my city. I don't really like it. I don't like that it's come to this, but it's worked. The DC people like it. So, all right. Good job. Good job. Wow. So to be totally clear, there is a third option that he eventually gets around to that he supports even more than these other two. And that is make sure that everybody's got guns and everybody knows that if you shoot somebody, it's cool.

Like, if you feel threatened by somebody and you shoot them in self-defense, you're not going to get prosecuted for that. Right. So just make sure that everyone knows that they can shoot people. Right. Vigilante stuff. Right, right, right. But doesn't that eliminate the need for the military?

Because everybody's got guns. Yeah, yeah. That would be the third option. Right. So let people continue to be the victims of crimes. Right. Militarize the streets. Right.

Or make sure everyone has guns and just let them go. Right. Vigilante shit. Well, I mean, you do understand, right, that if you make the argument that everybody should have guns, you are also making the argument equally that everybody should not have guns. Because the argument is the everybody part. If everybody is equal, then we don't need guns. Yeah, it's the dumb thing where they, I don't know, Alex has expressed this in the past,

and I'm sure Owen feels it in some ways, that like, if everybody's armed, then chivalry is guaranteed because everyone will be like if I fight you I might be get shot so everyone will treat each other nicely because of the fear of being killed right so everybody could also

treat each other nicely if you removed that fear that's true right because it's the fear that is they have a tyranny but see now we're in tyranny because of them yeah I know he looks bad

but it's worked but if DC is happy and there's no murders that I guess all the things I've ever believed or said are a lie. This is so goddamn pathetic that I can't imagine being someone who works at Infowars saying something like that and not committing Sepakou. Yeah. You're doing the thing that you've always said your enemies are going to do. Make excuses for why expansion of police state powers are justified by scary circumstances.

You're doing the devil's work by your own definition. Add on top of this the fact that the feds in D.C. have not been successful and dramatic. radically reducing crime, but Trump has lied to say that it has worked. On top of that, D.C. residents are not in favor of the feds being there, but Trump has lied and said that they are. Owen is justifying Trump's expansion of his powers by repeating two lies Trump has told, so he's once again being a fucking puppet. According to a CNN poll, 79% of respondents in D.C. opposed Trump's actions in terms of federalizing the police and using the National Guard. 61% said that they felt less safe as a result of,

of Trump's actions, so Owen trying to wash his hands of supporting this by claiming the locals like it, it's a special kind of disgusting. But really think about this. If what Owen is saying were true, why should he have any problem with the idea of like Wisconsin banning guns? If it lowered the crime rate and the public supported it, it seems like his take should be that it's hard to see, but good for them, right? Exactly.

He should. Well, I mean, the other thing is essentially that the military being called and placed inside there is a de facto gun grab because... Yeah, guns are being confiscated. Right. And they will be even more so if they want to. They're the military. It is the rule that they get to shoot you and you can't shoot back.

That's the rule, right? Yeah. The thing that these dipshits can't get into their heads is that supporting this makes it so they really can't defend anything anymore. If acceptance of the federal government operating as a police state is conditional, then none of their positions mean anything. and no one has an obligation to take anything seriously. It's really put me in even into a little bit of a tailspin

because like why care about, why take any of these words seriously? Like, and it frustrates me to no end still further that when you say like 81% of residents are against it, the other 19% aren't against, you know, they're not for it. They're just responding to you like an asshole. because this is the way they respond. If you like remove the politics from it and just go, there's going to be a bunch of guys with the AKs right outside your fucking door all day every day.

They're like, maybe I should not have that. I think some number of people would still be for it. But like it wouldn't be a hundred minus the people who are against it. Right. It wouldn't be a clean either or the other. But I bet there is some number. Well, hey, what are you going to do? Right.

Yeah. But, you know, those numbers are all. always skewed by the fact that those people don't think they're the ones who are going to get military-ed, you know? And some of them might be joking. Yeah, absolutely. Hey, why not? I want a little military. Yeah. So this is the last day that Owen hosted the entirety of his show, The War Room. So I was kind of surprised to find that it's kind of just info war shit. Yeah. There's nothing in here that really seemed like it would be a good reason for these two guys to have split up. Owen ends the show by saying that he was hosting Alex's show the next day. And he does end up doing that. That ends up

happening. Okay. Most of the show is about the Minneapolis shooting and Alex desperately trying to identify the shooter and blame it on them being trans. Right. Alex calls in from his car and takes over a bit of the show along with his new big time FBI whistleblower Kyle Serafin. And they're just chomping at the bit to the ID the shooter.

You can see Owen is uncomfortable. Yeah. I don't have any clips of this because it's kind of hard to convey through audio. But when I was watching Owen's face, it became clear to me that he was realizing in the moment that they were doing Sandy. hook shit all over again. Yeah. They were doing Maricio Garcia all over again.

Owen was hosting Alex's show and Alex was budding in to cover details that were possibly sketchy and if this goes wrong, Owen might end up getting sued again. He's already given two depositions where he had to admit that he passed along defamatory information because he didn't vet the stuff he was allowing on his show. So this has to feel like a potential third strike of the exact same thing. It'd be hard to imagine yourself not experiencing a solid amount. of deja vu. Yeah.

Owen looks flustered and maybe even a little bit pissed off, but it's hard to tell exactly what's going on in his head. If I were him after the second lawsuit, I would have told Alex that I'll keep working here because no one else is going to hire me, but I need you to stop creating situations where I'm totally going to get sued. Rushing identification of shooters has been a real problem for InfoWars in the past, and Alex can't resist taking this chance again. It's for nothing.

No one is going to remember who went to print first with the, The Shooter was trans story. No one's fighting over a Pulitzer here. This is pointless. Nope. Honestly, I wouldn't blame Owen if that was his reason for quitting. It's disrespectful, and it drives home how he's just another talent at a one-talent business, which is to say that he means nothing.

Yep. So that was on Wednesday, August 27th, and Owen hosted half of the war room on Thursday. Okay. But from all appearances, it was just another plain-ass episode of the show. Hmm. He was there. Then Alex popped in and said Owen had to leave for a family emergency. And then the Cuck Destroyer was gone.

Right. Reappearing on Labor Day. Okay. To do a live stream discussing how he'd quit at Info Wars. A live... Okay, so it wasn't on Info Wars. No. Oh.

God, that would have been so much better. Well, he discusses how much he wanted to do that. Well, then you suck even more! And it means you got fired. If you were cool, you would have done it. Yeah. Oh, my God. Yeah.

Yeah, he definitely got fired. So I will say that I think that the stream was way too long. Oh, who could have imagined? It was just over five hours long. Fuck off. Which is too much Owen, and it's fucking repetitive. And, you know, there's a couple things that are clearly, like, things he wants to brand himself as and little, like, catchphrases and stuff that are getting repeated. But, like, I don't know.

I there was no there he had no business going five hours five hours of Owen Schroyer I paid most lee attention for about the first four hours and then shit fell apart a little bit how how do you make it that long I don't know I mean it's just a miracle I think morbid curiosity do you remember when we were on that the remember the last time I listened to Russell brand right and I made it through about 15 seconds of it before I started shouting. I can't imagine making it through four hours of Owen Troyer. Yeah.

Unleashed. Gah! Gah! They took the muzzle off. I can't even handle zero seconds of Owen Troyer's live stream right now. Yeah, well, unfortunately, you're going to get a bit. Shit. So I was looking for pieces of like, what are the indications?

Before I listened to Owen's explanation for why he got fired or quit. Yeah. Before I listen to this live stream, you know, watching his show, the content seems largely like, okay, he's saying that Trump is going fascist, but he also isn't super anti-fascist. Yeah. So, like, that's not that bad. Right. Trump's lying, but yeah, so what? I guess.

That's not a deal breaker for them. We kind of know that he's lying all the time anyways. Yeah. Yeah. He's doing the ad pitches just like everyone else and like he always has. He's talking about how you get $10 free dollars. It's embarrassing. Yeah.

I could not tell what the fuck was going on. Yeah. And the only thing that stuck out in my head was this, like, maybe he looked uncomfortable during the shooter identification thing? I mean, maybe that was the only thing I had to work off. That would be a moment where I would feel like the appropriate response, even if you're an actual news anchor type person, is to say, fuck this. From a self-preservation standpoint. Yeah, absolutely. just from a literal like this is what needs to happen i am willing to embarrass myself on television to say

fuck this this cannot happen you know that's the appropriate thing to do if this keeps happening and my um like ability to control the content that i am associated with right is is abused like this yeah i could ruin the rest of my life one billion dollars isn't enough to shut you the fuck up about shootings well owen's not on the hook for that and alex's created fake businesses yeah well there's it nobody's on the hook for that so um i i was really interested to see what owen had to say yeah and how this all went because as much as i felt like that was a possible thing that he was feeling it also was entirely possible that i was just projecting all that sure so like who knows yeah i mean they're all psychos yeah so owen starts off his stream okay and he goes he throws it to

a song oh god i'm going to break it all down i feel i owe you an explanation of what's been happening i'm going to let people get caught up before i really get into the juice here um but what you know it's official i am now done at info wars and i'm going to let you know why coming up in uh just a minute first fuel hemorrhage because why not memories are just waiting you leave light bleeding in my Sounds like somebody who quit. Sounds like somebody who broke up with the relationship on the road. He ends the show playing another fuel song, Bittersweet. That is also a little bit...

Oh, boy. So Owen's going to learn a tough lesson if he continues with this show, and that is that he can't play full songs without permission. He's going to get DMCA strikes against his content, which can lead to these shows being taken off whatever's hosting the episodes. Yep. He doesn't have the shield of whatever radio. licensing contract info wars had to use songs as bumper music but even still he plays the whole

song like i hope he doesn't plan on trying to sell ads because if you have a copyright strike on an episode that ends up going down you're not getting the ad revenue from whatever that episode is you might get sued for failure to fulfill your advertising obligation i appreciate not understanding ass cap licensing from a fucking radio host yeah yeah well he's worked at info wars for 10 years yeah no that's fair maybe he genuinely thinks that they steal it like he does does he not realize that there's a reason that like on the info war's official streams that are on the radio like or on the internet yeah they don't have right most of the theme music course he can't afford it of course doesn't have those rights it's ridiculous anyway uh owen comes back from fuel yeah and he explains

He's got fire. He's got desire, et cetera. He has a desire to explain why he's here tonight. Okay. And it's because he had a bad phone call with Alex. Why I am done at Info Wars. Now, there's a reason why I'm doing this tonight. There's a reason why I have to do this tonight. And I'm going to explain it all.

Because that's what you deserve as my audience. as people who have financially supported me over the years. You have you have prayed for me as people that sent me letters when I was in prison, just just all of it. You know, I'm grateful for my audience. I consider myself extremely blessed. And quite frankly, I consider myself extremely blessed for my time at Info Wars. And I'm sorry that it had to end so abruptly, if you want to say that.

But about an hour ago, I got off the phone with Alex. and that was it. That was it. It was a bad call. It was a bad phone call. Hey, listen, I've been fired in very similar ways. Yeah. Yep.

This phone call was terse, it sounds like. Yep. And ends with Alex saying, don't come back. We don't need you. That's fair. That's fair. You know, I suppose that's maybe better than an email, but maybe not. It's close.

Yeah. Yeah. So, well, actually, I think. I don't know what you could expect in an email from Alex. I would appreciate an email from Alex that was just like, hey, don't come into work tomorrow. Just made up words, misspellings. Right. It would be chaos.

Yeah. That's also possible. So, wingedings function. Yeah. Owen did not want it to go this way. This isn't what he planned. And it's very unfortunate because he really tried. Just to be perfectly clear.

This is not how I wanted it to be. I want to be perfectly clear about something, and I'll explain this in a little more detail. I did not want it to go this way. Okay? I tried everything. I tried everything so that it wouldn't go this way. But I am left with no choice, but to come on here tonight and make the announcement. He didn't want to do this, but he's here.

He's doing it against, like, it's not what he wanted. He's using a lot of words that suggest he was not in charge of the decisions. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. And I think that sometimes people present things that way because they're, uh, they want to kind of excuse what they're doing.

Sure. Maybe they're about to go real low and say some dirty shit. Absolutely. Um, and, and they're like, hey, I didn't want to go this way. It wasn't my fault. I didn't choose to get here. Yeah. Some people might, uh, go.

that way, use this language that way. Right. But another reason you would use it is if you are entirely powerless and you are backed into a corner. Yep, absolutely. And that's kind of what this feels like. It was either this or he was going to paint a target on my back and throw strawberries at it.

So I finally decided to leave. Yeah. So a new piece of information that we get is that there's a reason that he only did half of his show on Thursday. Ooh. And that is because he left. Oh. You may have noticed.

I've been taking a lot more time off. Specifically, you may have noticed how on Thursday I walked off the show mid-show. About an hour into the show. And just so you understand what happened, and if you watch the Info Wars War Room, you've seen this before. So it's not like it's anything new, but, you know, Alex was disrupting the show and he wanted me to cover something and he wanted me to get a guest on. I'm in the middle of the show while it's going on, as you see. so many times and it just didn't go well. I kind of just reached my point of no return. And so I just walked off the studio. Now, I will say it was a little, it was a little upsetting to me that he went on

and said that I had a family emergency. I did not have a family emergency. There was no family emergency. I didn't appreciate people reaching out to me thinking that something bad had happened, including my own parents. So there was no family emergency. I walked off the show. That's fucked up. Yeah, that's funny. So Owen hosted his show on Tuesday, which we listened to a bit of, but then took

Wednesday off, probably because he was hosting Alex's show. Yeah. Then on Thursday, he was doing his own show, and he stormed out about halfway through. Yeah. I watched the incident, and it's not interesting at all. When Alex leaves the show, he leaves the show. He makes an impression. Mm-hmm.

In this case, Owen went to break, some videos played, and then Alex appeared at the desk lying about Owen having a family emergency. That's so funny. It's notable that Owen is saying that Alex was trying to pop in and control the topic he was covering and telling him he had to feature a specific guest. As soon as Alex gets into the studio, he's covering that same shooter with his super credible FBI whistleblower friend, Kyle Serafin. The day prior, you could see and feel a discomfort in Owen as Alex was forcing his way onto the Alex Jones show to have. identify a mass shooter with Kyle, and now Alex is doing that to Owen on Owen's own show. I'm certain that this is a piece of the puzzle, because Alex being annoying and disruptive is something that Owen obviously dealt with every day, but it's not every day that Alex is

demanding he engage in the same behaviors that have led to humiliations in multiple depositions. An added layer to this is that Alex is preempting Owen's show and demanding that they interview Kyle Serafin, and that means that whatever Owen was planning to do, has to go on the back burner. That segment of the show that day was supposed to be an interview about January 6th defendants not getting enough support from Trump, and the guest was former proud boy leader Enrique Tario. You can see how this is possibly an important type of interview for Owen.

It's not every day that you're interviewing a guy who tried to overthrow a country about how he and his friends aren't being treated nicely enough by the president who they tried to do a coup for. Yep. It's a moment. You know, it is a question. of what have you done for me lately, right? Because you

pardon somebody, you figure like Roger Stone, you got them in your back pocket till both of you die. Yeah, yeah. These people, no loyalty. No. None. They are ungrateful. They are ungrateful and petty. And the fact that fucking Owen

Schroier is going to look you in the eye and say, Alex Jones said something on his show that was not true makes me very unhappy. Yeah. about me. If Owen is being sincere about what happened and all this shit, then I wholly understand quitting over that.

Alex is being disrespectful as hell, but I don't get the feeling that this is an uncommon thing at InfoWars. I still think some piece is missing to this story that can explain the why now of it all. Yeah. Like, it doesn't make sense. Yeah. Also, I just think that lying about a family emergency,

like, it really reveals how easily Alex lies. Oh, yeah. And that should worry everywhere. Oh, boy. So Owen left. That's fun. That's fun. But also, yeah, I mean.

But is that quitting? If you're going to do it, do it. You know what I mean? Like, if you're going to walk off, walk the fuck off. Don't like slink away. Do it Alex style. Yeah. If you're going to Irish goodbye, that's to keep the people there from having to do a whole thing and you just kind of get out of there.

If you're going to walk off a show, that's. That's part of your show, you know? But is it quitting? I think it's quitting. I'd say it's quitting. I think if I walked out of a job, I'm not coming back. I think it's damn close to it sends the message. If someone got the message, hey, I have quit from that.

You wouldn't blame them for thinking. No, I'd be like, yeah, absolutely. But Owen wanted to come back to work this week. What? My intention was to go back this week. And I made that intention. perfectly clear to Alex an hour ago. Now, I wanted to meet with Alex in the office tomorrow.

And I told him that. I told him that last week after I left the studio. He texted me. And I said, Alex, let's talk next week. I said, I don't want to talk about it now. I'm done for the week. Let's talk next week. We communicated a little over the weekend.

And then today, I said, let's meet. let's have a meeting tomorrow before your show whenever you want let's meet tomorrow before your show and maybe we can talk this out work it out and he said no let's just let's just talk now and so he called me that's cold-blooded yeah I remember one of the times that I got fired from the theater I worked at and the manager called me into the office I was going to sit down and he said you're not going to need that chair and this has the same energy yeah straight up yep we we don't need to meet up let's just talk on the phone this isn't going to take long yep as Owen keeps talking I I find it a little harder to defend how he handled this.

If he quit on Thursday when he walked out, that's fine. But he walked out in the middle of his show and then decided he wasn't coming in on Friday, telling his boss that they'd talk about it next week. I think that Owen probably felt like he had the sway to pull off a power move like that and score himself a long Labor Day weekend, but he learned the hard way that he isn't important at Info Wars. If he doesn't like his job, there are plenty of racist dipshits on Twitter who would love to play dress-up and pretend to be on the news.

Now, I think this is actually kind of funny, especially because he's doing the stream on Labor Day. He thought that the value of his labor was enough that his boss would let him take a mental health day, and he found out that his labor is very replaceable. Too bad there's not a liar's union. Otherwise, maybe he could have been protected from this. It is unfortunate. It is unfortunate. I mean, on the other hand, you know, I was thinking about it. And when I got fired at the coupon place, the guy waited until I got into work and then was like,

Like, hey, you're fired, right? And it was like, man, I wish you would have called me before I took the train down here. Sure. That was a easy thing to skip, right? So, in a way, I appreciate Alex for letting him know, don't come into work tomorrow. I'm saving you a trip. I think sometimes in some of those corporate environments where there may be like pass codes and keys and stuff like that. Sure.

Then they might really want to get you there so they can take your... Surreptitiously under false pretense. Make sure that you don't have a way to get back in. That's fair. That's fair. I know that was definitely the case at some places I've worked. I mean, you know, but I feel like Info Wars, they've got guns. You probably can't get back in if they don't want you to.

Owen's clearly not going back. Yeah, I wouldn't go back. But you wanted to finish the week. You wanted to work this week. What a silly idiot. He wanted to come back after Labor Day on Tuesday. Talk to Alex, chop it up, and finish this thing out. What a child.

And I wanted to finish this week. And I wanted to finish positively at InfoWra. Wars. And I even said if he wanted me to kind of stick around like a satellite to go down with the ship, that I'd be willing to play some sort of a satellite role to go down with the ship and be a part of that and continue, you know, having, wearing the name on the front of the jersey for at least some semblance while it's still ongoing. And he didn't express any interest in that. What? And so he told me that he didn't need me and good luck. And that was that.

Yeah, that is that. Yeah, that's, all of those things are probably pretty accurate. It's got a sting. Owen was offering to do free publicity for Alex while Info Wars is sinking, and Alex wasn't interested. I would describe that as begging? Isn't that what, would you describe that as begging? No.

Yes. Okay. Okay. It is, but it's, the way he's describing it, Owen is very invested in not making it appear. Right, right, right. But if I heard somebody say that, And I sent it through my what did somebody actually mean machine.

It sounds like I begged him to stay. I had some reasons that I wanted things to go one particular way. And he was not interested in that. Yeah. So I begged him to continue paying me while I didn't really work here. And he said he didn't need me. Well. Because he doesn't.

Tudence out. Yeah. So I think that Owen's like, oh man, I hope Alex is real classy about this. Which I Fuck it bet he will be I don't know how Alex Wants to handle it Honestly I hope that he just

Doesn't talk about it at all And people might view that as like a bad thing Or a negative thing I don't think so It's if he wants to just sever ties And just move on like that I have no problem with it So I don't I don't you know

I hope he doesn't make a thing of it I hope he's fine He can bring in whoever he wants to host it Or shut it down I don't really care you know i don't have anything negative to say about Alex this is not how about um i have nothing but respect and appreciation how for uh for Alex and everything that we've done at info wars i'm not sure that was mutual doesn't really matter it wasn't i think the only thing you can

safely bet on here is that Alex isn't going to say nothing. And the fact that Owen is saying that he hopes Alex will just move on seems insane. It feels like he would only be doing that either to claim the high ground in the likely event of a fight or to signal to Alex that he's not going to spill

the beans on anything. So Alex shouldn't feel the need to reveal anything too damaging he might know about him. Right, right. We don't need to take each other out. Right. Right. Because at the end of us taking each other out, I am taking out and you're pretty much exactly the same. So please don't let us take each other out.

You know what I mean? Yeah. You're an embarrassing monster who screams about demons all the time and thinks sci-fi movies are real. Yeah. I don't think that I have anything that's going to stick. Nope. No, no, no, no. Hey, you know what?

He was a bad boss. No shit. What a shot. How about that? So Owen starts to talk about like what preceded this, this Thursday blow up. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. And it turns out that for a little while, Alex had been being a bit of a dick. to him for about 10 12 years yeah about the time he'd worked yeah yeah but especially lately he's

been too negative right and to anti-trump at owen has been too negative and too anti-trump gotcha so we're we're at an ideological crossroads yeah and so alex managed to gaslight him into thinking that that was his fault but you know kind of kind of to give you the longer form situation. You probably noticed that I had not been hosting the war room a lot this month. And, you know, Alex had been coming into my show and talking about how I'm negative and calling me a pessimist and all this other stuff, which is, which is fine. You work for Alex. You're going to get hit with it a lot. Alex is not easy to work for. And that's fine. You know, that's okay. That's it. But, okay, he says,

I'm too negative. He says I'm a pessimist, whatever. I'm too anti-Trump. So I just said, all right, you know what? I'll just take some time off. I'll just disappear. And if Alex thinks I'm too negative, then maybe he's right. Maybe he's right. Maybe I'm too negative now. Maybe I'm too much of a pessimist now. Maybe I'm too anti-Trump now. Whatever, whatever his issue was when he kept coming in the show telling me I'm too negative saying I'm a pessimist on his show, I said, okay, Maybe he's right. I'll take some time off. I'll blow off some steam. I'll just get out of the ring for a week. And, you know, maybe I'll come back a little more positive. And, you know, maybe there was a level of reality to that. And I think I did come back more positive. But wait, the same issues that I had started up immediately as soon as I came back. No shit. Yeah. So Owen's describing two different problems here. The first is Alex being super annoying and hard to work for. That's no big deal and has been the case. the whole time that Owen's worked there. It seems to me like Owen could probably handle that

or else he wouldn't have lasted almost a decade. So I don't believe annoyance is a good reason for this breakdown. The second issue is about Alex trying to sway Owen's coverage of certain topics, saying he's too negative and anti-Trump. Owen was able to gaslight himself into thinking that maybe Alex is right and it's a problem that he's having that he's too pessimistic. So he took a week off to clear his head. He comes back and the same problem is waiting there for him.

The problem is that Trump sucks, and Owen gets called negative and pessimistic when he calls out the elephant in the room because Alex can't handle it. Yeah. But it feels like this has to have been happening the whole time Owen was there, too. Right? So I don't get this as an explanation for ending the employment now. There's a part of me that hears these explanations, and I can't help but think this has to be financial. Alex couldn't convince Bigley to pay Owen enough for him to put up with this shit anymore, and he thinks he can find a better salary elsewhere. Like, that's the explanation that makes the most sense.

Sure. I don't, you know, I don't have any, I don't have any documents to back that up or anything. Possible. What Owen's offering me isn't making a lot of sense. If Owen believes his prospects for money are greater than Owen has a difficult relationship with reality. I will say without tipping my hand on where things go, I think Owen thinks his capacity for earnings is unlimited. That's no good. No.

He should think that it is very limited. Perhaps some of the more limited capacity that's ever been. I think he imagines that he will be one of the most successful people on the planet. You know, there are venues, like, there are venues that can only hold like 38 people, you know, capacity crowd, 38 people. That is the number of dollars he can expect to earn as a radio host going forward. Black Box Theater propagandist. Late night shows. So, you know, the question obviously comes up when a creative, when a journalist leaves an outlet.

Sure. The question comes around about, like, how much creative control did you have? Did you have impositions that were coming from management? Right. It does feel like he very much pointed out that the owner of the media company was forcing him to have certain lines upon certain things. And have certain guests on at certain times. Which feels like you would be against it. Yeah, so Owen says, yeah, I had creative control, but also kind of didn't.

Nope. And it's not to say that I didn't have creative control over the Info Wars War Room. But, I mean, imagine it's like somebody staring over your back 24-7. And so every single day that I came back, it was either a guest that I was told I had on at the last minute, or it was, you know, him coming into the studio. He wants me to cover this. He wants me to cover that. or I have to host his show for him because he's not in.

So there was just, there's nothing consistent for me. Nothing consistent. Yeah, that's, that's, yeah, yeah. That's a hostile work environment. Yeah. Yes. Yeah. Yeah.

I don't know what to say to this. And that's the reason that I find this really interesting. And that is like, yeah, Alex was creating a horrible place and you should have quit. But I also think you were fired. Yeah. I also don't think you chose to leave. No, no, no, no. No.

Oh, remember when I was telling you about that Facebook lady's memoir and how she was like, oh, this was when I knew I had to leave. But then she stayed because, of course, she fucking did. I did. I thought about that, your story about that when I was listening to him. Yeah, yeah, yeah. And then it was like, oh, I finally got out of there when they fired me. Great. All right.

You did it. Congratulations. Yeah, you've got, you won. Hold on to that thought because I think Owen might say literally the same thing. so there obviously was difficulty after he came back from his sabbatical his little hiatus to clear his head from the things that Alex had convinced him were wrong with him and then Wednesday Wednesday was the breaking point for him that was on Alex's show when he just felt out of control okay so whatever so I'm going

through it again last week and then Wednesday last week happens and this is this is really where I think for me it was like okay if this is how it's going to go really what happened Wednesday and Thursday so Wednesday was the school shooting and we get the exclusive with Kyle Serafin from his fed source at about nine or ten o'clock in the morning now we get this information we have the images we have the name the crew has already archived all of the online content, the manifestos, the videos. So, I mean, we got it. We got it.

Now, I was supposed to host the show, but obviously we get this exclusive. So Alex wanted to host the show. So I'm like, okay, well, great. All right, so let's do this. So it's like, here we go. I'm riding with Alex again, folks. We're firing up the Millennium Falcon again. We're going into the Info War.

We're taking out a Death Star again. And I know that this is hard for people to understand from the outside looking in. And I don't say that from an arrogant standpoint. I'm just trying to explain to you what it's like here. It's a little arrogant. So that was fascinating to hear because I was so right and so wrong on my read of how Owen was experiencing that Wednesday show. Yeah. Something was off about the energy and it did have to do with Kyle Serafin and InfoWars identifying a mass shooter.

But Owen wasn't mad that Alex was pushing him to act. the same way that led to lawsuits in the past. He was mad that Alex was inserting himself in this. And it's really just about micromanagement. And Alex not letting Owen do the thing by himself. You know, I can cover this exclusive. You don't have to come in and call from your car. It, hmm.

Right. So you'd think, you'd think that at a certain point, learning would happen. But then you think, well, Wait, is this just ego? And it is. It is always just ego. It's an interesting variation on ego. It is mostly just my little baby feelings have been hurt by this.

Amazing. And then Alex Jones went on air and lied about my family issues. Can you believe it? Yeah. And then I couldn't even come and do my last week. What was that going to be? We'll see. We'll see.

Okay. He's got a plan? Okay. All right, all right, all right. So that day, when Kyle Serafin and Alex took over Alex's show that Owen was hosting because Alex was out in his car, yeah, sure. They broke this story, this big story about this mass shooter. And Owen took the heat for it in terms of like getting negative headlines written about him.

Right. And he thought, man, that's going to get Alex off my back for a day. Right, right, right. And it didn't. Oh, we broke the big exclusive. It's very likely that if it wasn't for us that day, you never heard about the trans shooter. You never saw the videos, the manifesto, or any of it.

It's very likely that that's the case. But we knew. We knew we would get burned. We'd been down this road before, especially on that issue, you're guaranteed you're getting burned. You're either getting sued or you're getting censored or you're getting the negative headlines.

So, before the show is even over, there's multiple headlines printed up. Owen Schroier celebrates mass shooting. Owen Schroier celebrates dead kids. I might get to that later on. Whatever, it's par for the course. So there we go. So I got burned.

So I rode into the fire on Wednesday. We broke the big exclusive. I fired up and I got in the co-pilot seat of the Millennium Falcon with Alex Jones for one more ride, knowing I was going to get shot out of the sky, knowing I was going to get burned. But hey, all right, it's the info war. I said, all right, Alex, you want me? Let's go. Let's do it.

And we did it. And we fucking did it. And then I get the negative headlines. Okay, fine. I anticipated that. And then the next day, I have to deal with the same stuff of him breaking into the show. He's now he's on a speaker phone and he's asked the crew to bring him. It's just a cluster.

It's just a cluster bomb. So I had prepared a three-hour show. I thought since we just did what we did the day before that I could do a three-hour show. and babysitter wouldn't be looking over my shoulder. I was wrong. It happened, and I just said, I'm out. I'm just done. So if you don't want me to do the show, you can do it. And I think he ended up posting the rest of his show.

I don't even know if I wanted to get any more details with that. Yeah, I wouldn't. Infowars didn't break this story and had essentially zero relevance in the anti-transistaria that this story kicked up. They're just a part of Twitter now. And this shit would have been flying around with or without their involvement. There's no importance. Yeah, you guys are empty.

But Owen is right. He probably shouldn't give more details about this, because it looks bad for everyone. Owen could probably make some perfectly acceptable arguments for quitting, but the way he's telling this story, he sounds like a baby. He had a problem with his boss's management style, and that boss gave him a week off to clear his head and get back in the game. He took that time off, came back to work, and the problem was still there. Instead of sucking it up and accepting that this wasn't working, he had an outburst and stormed out of work and demanded Friday day off, expecting that he was important enough that he could get away with it. I'm a big proponent of workers' rights, and I will side with labor over management pretty

much every time. Unless there are major pieces missing from Owen's story, it kind of sounds like you deserve to be fired. Yeah. And I don't know how anyone could expect that. Like, I know that Alex acts that way, and it might give you the feeling that I get to also, but you don't. Yeah.

Alex can storm off his show whenever the fuck he wants because he owns the place. Yep. It's his. I mean, listen, I don't know. Here's what I say to this kind of situation, right? You're a professional liar. Ask somebody what would be a good reason to quit and then give that reason. Don't give whatever reason you think is a good idea because you have bad ideas.

And then don't do a five-hour stream about that bad explanation because it's going to end up, you're going to end up accidentally giving more details. Of course. You're going to reveal that you kind of. kind of sound like a rightfully fired employee who abused his boss's unprofessionalism. Yeah. Yeah, you're bad at this. Yeah.

Let somebody else do it, which also is part of why you're fired. Look, I've had a number of jobs in my life. Yeah. And I've been fired from a number of them. Yep, yep. And if I were to explain the circumstances of a lot of them, I would be telling you a story and you would say, well, you deserve to get fired. Sure.

And I would say, you're correct. Yep. In hindsight, yep. maybe I was a little mad when it happened but yeah that was yeah I have a couple of stories wherein I was wrong to be fired according to the law and that meant

nothing so there are also instances where you got fired and it's like that was on me oh yeah no I absolutely well one time I got fired but I resigned before like the hour before they called me in. That's what he's trying to do yeah the hour before they called me in I had written up

my resignation letter and I was like I've got to get out of here and they were like we were going to fire and I was like, ha ha ha, ha, I win this round and I was gone, like the hamburger. This all worked out. We've all saved face. Yep. I just, sad. Yeah, it is sad.

It's a bummer, too, when I have to, like, look at this situation and be like, I think Alex is right. I think he's wrong to create this awful work environment that people have to put up with. Right. And I think he shouldn't be allowed to do that. Right. But since we're not just stripping away his business and all that, and it's allowed to exist.

Owen, like, he should have quit long ago, and it's not his fault that he had an abusive boss. Right. But he acted in ways that would get anyone fired. Here's what I love about this. Here's what I love about this. Alex could, if he asked somebody else for a legitimate reason why Owen should be fired, plenty of them.

And he could just say that. Don't need to say anything else. Here's a good reason. And everybody would be like, yeah, that is a good reason. And we move on. stormed off the show on Thursday. Exactly. He's fired.

So many good reasons to quit. You fucking have been trapped in this abusive relationship. That guy is going to get you sued again. Like, you just described a really sad scenario where you're the sidekick and the Millennium Falcon of your life. Like, fucking, there's so many good reasons to quit. Neither of them are choosing any of the good reasons. And it's just whiny little babies with terrible egos. Well, to be fair, up to this point, we have not heard Alex's receipts.

Oh, that's fair. So we don't know. Right. We're recording this on Tuesday. Right. Alex hasn't even done his show yet. Okay. This is all breaking stuff.

Fair enough. Fair enough. So Alex may have a great explanation. I bet. Or maybe I'll never talk about it. That's possible. So Owen wanted to do this positive style. Of course.

No hard feelings. Yeah. Handshakes, all that shit. Absolutely. That's it as far as I'm concerned. So I'm not going to be going back in. I'm not going to be hosting the war room. he could have easily had me in to announce it on his show.

I would have been happy. I would have more than happy to do it. Again, that's what I wanted. It meant a lot to me, folks. I don't want to be, I didn't want to be doing it this way. Anybody who's followed my career in media knows, I don't do the drama stuff. I don't do the drama stuff. Sure.

I don't do the, hey, look over here at this personal beef. I don't do that stuff. I get along with everybody. I'm sorry, but this just rings false coming from. from the Cuck Destroyer. Well, self-described. Are you telling me that the Cuck Destroyer doesn't do drama? The guy who did the tank caravan?

Well, it's hard to see a situation where there is a drama-free destruction of a Cuck. This is just bullshit. I find it to be, it makes him seem weaker. I'm the controlled demolition cuck man. Yeah. Yeah. He wanted just to shake hands, though, and go out good. You wanted to have this last week.

So everybody could, you know, make peace. Victory lap, yeah, yeah. But you have to understand, you know, Alex has been a big inspiration for me and he gave me my first big break in political media. I'll always be respectful and appreciative of that. And so that's why it meant a lot to me to do this on Info Wars and to do this in a positive way and to shake his hand on the air and for him to say, thank you great work. And for me to say, thank you, I appreciate everything.

And to shake his hand and do it in front of the Info Wars. audience and crew and leave on a positive note but he didn't he didn't want to do that he said he didn't want to do that so so now i have to do this here tonight now i have to say too um just so people might get a better understanding you know i feel like wednesday was kind of our last dance i feel like wednesday was kind of our last dance and if you've seen the documentary called the dance about Michael Jordan and the 96 Bulls or the Bulls franchise, the dynasty, you might get a better idea of what it's, what it's like working for Alex Jones. And you can watch and you listen to people talk about how Michael Jordan is an asshole and

Michael Jordan is hard to play for and nobody wants to play with him and he's a jerk and he's got the highest expectations and all this stuff. And it's just like, well, I like that. I mean, that's how Alex Jones is, folks. Alex Jones is hard to work for. he demands championships he demands the best now some people can deal with that some people can't it's funny to be saying that in the episode where you're talking about how you no longer work for michael jordan some people can't i guess i can't yeah because i'm here that would be the conclusion yeah yeah silly silly silly shit i do appreciate the the the full misunderstanding of Alex saying, I don't want to do that.

That means Alex wants to do something else that does not involve you. And that should make you very unhappy. Yeah. And what it most importantly means is I am not invested in you at all. Not even a little. Do you know what happens tomorrow? Your show will be gone and no one will know. Yeah.

Maybe I'll have someone else host the war room. I can have dead air. Maybe. No one will know. It does not really matter. You weren't moving supplements. Absolutely not. I don't give a shit.

If I wanted to sell stuff on your show, I went on your show. I was doing you a favor. Yeah. Ultimately. This entire time, I have been paying you for nothing. There was a symbiotic relationship that existed where Owen's existence in InfoWars allowed Alex to look like he had a deeper bench. Yep.

And like it was an actual news network and there's other personalities here. And, you know, I'm not saying that no one was watching. There's a smallish audience there that likes us. Owen. Yeah. But then, yeah, symbiotically, Owen got to look like he was on the news. And he got to be, he got to be reasonably powerful. And he fucked it up.

I would give anything for Owen to be like, listen, I felt like we were close. And then they hired Chase. Yeah. Yeah. It hurt. It hurt. It really, you know what? I'm willing to admit this to you on this live stream.

That hurt my feeling. And I think I hate Jason. Well, to talk about the last dance, he took that personal. You know, like, well done. Thanks. Well done. So, Owen is a company man. Sure.

And so that's why he wanted to go out on Info Wars. He wanted to do this right. Right. So I don't know. Info Wars could be off air this week. Info Wars could be off air next year. I have no idea. But I can no longer, I'm at a point now in my life.

where I can no longer play that game of committing to go down with the ship because I got other issues. And I've been extremely loyal to Alex, overly loyal to Alex at Info Wars. And I'm okay with that. You know, I was a corporate man. I was a networked man. And I was proud to play for, as I view it, the Yankees, the best ever, Info Wars. I was proud of that. And I still am.

I have no regrets. but I couldn't hold out any longer. I wanted this to be my last week on air, but Alex didn't want it. So that's why I'm here tonight. And I'll tell you what is coming up for the future as far as I'm concerned. So there's two things in this clip that are important to hold on to for later. The first is the idea that Owen thought of himself as a corporate man, playing for the team. This has to do with the fact that Owen still thinks of himself as a professional broadcaster.

who's employable by some other network that isn't bat shit insane where the content is secondary to pill sales. The second is the fact that Owen keeps talking about what's next and keeps saying that he wanted to do his last stream on InfoWords and because Alex said that he couldn't come back, Owen had to do this stream. He didn't want to do it this way, but he had to.

When someone says, I didn't want to do it this way, it usually means that they're about to do some disgusting shit, throw some dirty laundry around, whatever. They wanted to stay classy, but their hand was forced. I had to do it. That's not what Owen is saying here. He's literally saying that this isn't what he planned to do, and Alex not letting him do a couple more days on air is a problem for plans that he had set in motion.

And he needs to do this tonight because Alex will be back on air tomorrow. And there's a decent chance that that will disrupt whatever plans he has. You bet. So that's fun. I was hoping to use the last week as a springboard. onto bigger and better things where I was allowed to talk to my full audience

who could also give me but instead I'm doing this live stream for how many 40 40 of you oh boy so on Rumble I think there were about a thousand people watching live or something like that for what is supposed to be occurring that might as well be 40

well but there were also I think people who called in said that there were 100,000 watching on Twitter and I just don't think those numbers are real whatever yeah I strongly doubt I really think that's artificial. And I don't even know if that was the number that appeared on Twitter. I didn't watch it live on Twitter.

Who cares? Yeah. So, like, I think it's not 40, but it ain't a lot. It's, whatever it is, it's not enough. It's not what Owen was hoping for with doing another week at InfoWords. So it turns out, here's his plan. Okay. But let me tell you what's going to happen. I've got this decent studio that I'm in right now.

And, you know, it could work. It could work just fine. And it does for the most part. But I'd like to build something bigger. You know, I think that this is a nice studio for kind of a, you know, a secondary broadcast option. I kind of like this camera angle right here. And, you know, there's some other things I can do with this studio. but this is not the studio I want for my main studio.

It's nice for a secondary studio. It's nice for guest interviews. It's nice when I need to pop on and do a live. But I'd really like to build something a lot bigger, a lot more professional. I'd like to build something that is way more radio-centric than TV-centric. If you're not in the industry, then that might not mean much to you. But basically, I don't want all the TV lights. I hate all the TV lights.

They burn my corneas every day. I hate all the camera. I hate the big TV studio space. I just, I don't like the big TV. I don't like it. I don't like TV. I don't like network TV. I don't like the presentation.

I'm more of a radio guy. So what I'm going to do is I'm going to build a professional radio style studio probably, probably with maybe two or three, four cameras. but it's not going to be like a TV show presentation at all. It's going to be more of a radio show presentation. So this is why Owen wanted to do this on Info Wars. He wanted to announce his plan to start a new radio network to Alex's audience, and Alex wanted no part in promoting Owen's new shit. Alex gave him a week off from his show,

and then he didn't fire him on the spot when he stormed off his show, and now Owen wants to do another week so he can try to pipe-piper these idiots off to another platform. Fuck that. I think Owen's wise, though, to not want to. want to do TV stuff because the overhead on that is going to be way too high. But I also think that he sounds kind of dumb. Like he thinks he just invented podcasting with a camera pointed at you. Yeah.

So what's he announcing? Like, is his intention to do the exact same thing that Tim Poole and countless other shitheads already do? Yes. He thinks that his level of popularity and clout require a professional studio and a backup studio. Right. This sounds grandiose.

Owen was stressing that after his call with Alex, he needed to do this stream tonight. He didn't want to do it this way, but he had to. I think he knows that the status of secondhand banana at InfoWars, that's not going to last long after he's gone, and he's quickly going to become just another guy. Alex has known that InfoWars was going to collapse for at least a couple years now, and he's been able to position himself where he has like a backup store and a second website, and all of that is his parachute. Owen thought that he was going to be able to launch his own parachute on the war room this week, but Alex said know, and this ding-dong is scrambling.

Amazing. This is all panic. The idea that you would... Buddy, fucking downsize. Do you know what we record? You should be in a smaller version of that. Downsized, buddy. Three or four cameras.

Crazy. Look into a webcam that's on... That's from a real disreputable part of China. Later, Owen's going to... talk about how he wants the show to just be like straight news, no guests. What show? Right. Why would you need four cameras for that?

It's just you delivering the news. Insane. Yeah. That is insane. Wow. I think that he is going to have a cold bucket of water splashed in his face real soon, metaphorically. I hope nobody invests. So he's going to make this radio studio.

And this is part of a larger project, which is creating his own network. What? and you know I'm still kind of in the early phases since this all just happened today but I'm going to launch a news network I already have it ready to go it's going to be called the win network it's the world independent news network and this is kind of just a mock-up logo that I had as a mic flag but I anticipate the Owen report will be live on the Wynn Network in October.

I think that it'll probably take a month for me to get everything done. So this is so sloppy, and the signs that this is rushed are disconcerting. For one thing, the Wynn Network is a trash name, and the abbreviation isn't even worth it. Nope. World Independent News Network is generic as hell, and it sounds like a fake TV station in a movie. Second, Wynn Network is a name that's already been taken. There's an organization called the Well Bealiener. Being in the Nation Network that does work around issues.

Owen really isn't into, like racial justice and intergenerational trauma. They've already got this name and it's well established. But it's not a radio station. True. Third, Owen doesn't own the URL for Winnetwork.com. I looked it up on GoDaddy and I almost bought it for the joke of saying I own it. But it was like $5,500 and that's out of my price range. $5,500?

Yeah. God damn. It turns out that websites that aren't claims, They have the word network in them are... Very expensive. Yeah, apparently that's sought after. Because if you've got a network, you probably have enough money to shell out for. You might want to, yeah.

But I don't think Owen's going to be able to pay... I don't think he wants to pay $5,500 for that. Well, you'd have to get rid of three or four of those cameras if you wish. I think that they have... Like, Alex with his band dot video and all these weird URLs, I think that because there's that, like, lineage in InfoWars, that if everyone even if I did buy

winnetwork.com you would just get winnetwork dot truth or something like that you know so squatting on it and getting it just to poke at him I think it would be really funny

but I also it's not worth it especially because if you did own it and the actual win network was like can you have that you would probably give them a huge discount the well-being in the nation I don't know

I didn't look into them deep enough to know I mean a lot of The surface stuff sounded like, I'm all right with that. You never know with surface stuff, though. Yeah, who knows. So I feel like announcing this world independent news network before you have a studio built and before you have even seemed to check out the intellectual property is really dumb.

It looks hastily thrown together and desperate, not like the exciting next step in a bright young star's career. Yeah. So I'm worried for him. I, boy, you know, I like believers. I like dreamers. but I do not want to put my money in this dream or this man's belief in himself. So on Shark Tank. I'm going to have to, it's going to be a no for me.

It's going to be a no from me. You know what, Mark Cuban saying no to it. I don't think, I don't think any. For whom is this network? First off. I think that if Owen is smart, it will be a, I'm more open about my anti-Semitism and how that undergirds all of this um like right wing conspiracy ideology and worldview sure uh cater to that audience buddy up with like fuentes and all them uh just take off the shackles of info wars and all that

shit yeah um or the alternative is just create some dumb bland bullshit and hopefully get some foreign money or something yeah get some dark money shit going through like uh with tim pool and Dave Rubin, you know, with that tenant media. Like, if you could hunt down some of that money, you'd probably get paid more than you got at InfoWars. And all they would ask you to do is probably about the same shit you would be doing. Probably. Well, I mean, at the very least, they wouldn't ask you to do all the promotion,

all the IT work, all of the... Because you don't have the InfoWars staff behind you. It's just Owen. They wouldn't micromanage him and sit over his shoulder all the time like Alex, either. That's true. That's annoying. Yeah. So look, this is a bad idea.

Yes, it is a bad idea. But what if I told you that the structural ideas for the format of the show were also terrible? I would believe every word of it. They're awful. Let's hear it. I think that it'll probably take a month for me to get everything done. Optimistic! So that includes just all the technical stuff, the mechanical stuff.

and then, you know, getting an operation that can fund itself. Because I don't really want to do, like, you know, I don't want to do the permanent going out of business sale. I don't want to do the permanent, like, you know, you need this to save the world sale strategies. I don't want to constantly be doing fundraisers either. I want to do more of a traditional style, which is we have sponsors that fund our operations. operation. Oh, my God. And, you know, having said that, I want to cover news. That's what I want to do. I want to cover news. And so, like, here's an example, Thursday. Oh, God. Try it out. Try covering the news. Do it. I wanted to cover all of this news Thursday. This is the news that I didn't get to

Thursday because I was disrupted. Okay? This stack. I want to cover news. With his own decks. And here's what I've learned as a consumer of news. Almost nobody covers news anymore. I don't know if he realizes how insulting this is to Alex, but if Owen is intending to keep it classy, he's failing. The permanent going out of business sale, the, you need this or you're going to die, sale. These models that he doesn't want to replicate are just descriptions of info wars.

He's directly telling everyone listening that Alex uses these tactics for marketing, because he can't get advertisers the traditional route. Yeah. And I have bad news for Owen on two counts. The first is that if Alex isn't getting sponsors, his backwash isn't either. Any business willing to advertise with the guy who just left InfoWars after a decade also wouldn't have a problem with advertising with InfoWars itself. So the only people you can really hope to attract are people who would have advertised

with Alex, but he was too expensive. Yeah. And I can't imagine who that is because I think he's cheap. It's ridiculous. The second piece of bad news for this news hound is that he's part of an information war that was waged against news. He wants to cover stories and be like the anchors of olden times, but no one in his audience wants that. It's fucking dull, and that's why they watch stuff like Alex, because it's exciting and it makes them feel things. The thing that made Info Wars, and by extension, Owen, relevant in any way is the same thing that's going to guarantee that he will fail if he tries to do a serious news show.

Yeah. No one wants that. I can't imagine. I cannot imagine the person who's like, oh man, all these serious news shows are just trash. They're just so boring. I stumbled upon this lone streamer in the middle of nowhere who's giving me real straight news. Yeah. I'm going to go from C-SPAN PBS over to the Cuck Destroyer. Wild.

Yeah. Wild. So stupid. Amazing. to believe in this requires a lot of delusion. Yes. And it's going to get worse.

Oh, I bet. But what he wants to do is a three-hour news show. Sure. No conspiracies. Okay. Well, maybe a little. All right.

Come on. Come on. There are. Nobody covers news. It's all sensationalism. It's all hyper-partisanism. It's all cheerleading or fan-boying. Nobody just

covers news. So from 3 to 6 p.m., I'm going to cover news. I'm not going to do sensationalism. I'm not going to do conspiracy theory. I'm not going to do the world is ending. I'm not going to do hyper-partisanship. I'm not going to do pom-pom waving. I'm not going to do flag waving. I'm going to do a three-hour news show for everyone who wants news. And yeah, we'll do, you know, we'll do some conspiracy theory and we'll have some fun. Come on. I mean, what are you crazy? I'm just going to do straight news for three hours, no conspiracies.

Yeah. Now, admittedly, it's entirely possible that by doing this small amount, I will render the large amount utterly worthless. But hey, I haven't thought that far out. And honestly, everything that he's describing as what he's not going to do is just a direct insult towards Alex. Yeah, absolutely. So I feel like the part that he was saying earlier, but having nothing negative to say about Alex is ringing very false. Yeah. It seems like every part of your job was the part you hated. Yeah. And are now talking about as if it were all fraud. Yeah. Yeah. Almost as if somebody else was in charge of all

of this fraud and not that you had done it yourself for the past decade. Until you were told you can't come back. Exactly. And then you decided, you know what? No more. Yeah. So now that Owen is free. Right. He hasn't felt like this in years. I spoke to a friend before the show, they asked me how I felt, and I said, well, you know, I don't even know how to explain that, except I feel like I haven't felt in a decade. I feel like I have not felt in 10 years. And I don't know if that's a feeling of control, a feeling of the unknown, a feeling of freedom, a feeling of fear. I don't know, but it's something I haven't felt in a long time. And, you know, I'm 36 years old.

Congratulations. And I think I've had quite a bit of an bit of experience for a 36-year-old in media. And, you know, I think that, I think that a lot of the things I've learned along the way I'm going to finally be able to implement and to use. in my own way and in my own creative delivery, if you will. Wow. But I hope to be doing this for 50 more years. You know?

Yeah, I know. Owen being 36 bums me out. Yeah, that really bums me out too. It's not like he's old or anything like that. Like 36 isn't old, but it's older than he feels like he should be. Yeah. Info Wars is a Peter Pound. pan-ass place, but like the Neverland from Hook, where Peter is super old and the lost boys

are still young. Alex seems old as shit, and all the other people there feel like they should be getting junior college credit for interning. Yeah. I do think that he's had a lot of living experience. Like, he's seen some shit. Owen was at January 6th. He went to jail.

He worked for a lunatic for a decade. He's been around, but the problem is that I don't think that that amounted to much experience in the work sense. Right. He's worked at Info Wars for a decade. His boss is a lunatic. Like, we've been doing this for about 10 years, close enough, right? I wouldn't say that this decade has given me any experience in, quote, unquote, media.

Life experience, but that doesn't, I don't think it would make me more employable somewhere. No, I wouldn't be able to go to, like, CNBC and be like, I've been doing media for 10 years, and they'd be like, yeah, you have. No, I don't think so. No. Not the same thing. No, and I think that that's going to be another tough wake-up call that he's going to get at. some point. This is wildly like

how much awareness is zero self awareness? Hmm. It's zero seems higher than this. Right? Yeah, this seems lower than zero. We're going, we're going into the depths. Yeah. Negative numbers. Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. So

I told you that I think that it's dumb as a format. Right. For him to just be like, I'm going to three hours of news. At three to six. Yeah. Yeah. But, You know what? If someone's just going to stick to their guns and it's just news, I'll give them a shot. Okay. But what if they don't? Okay.

We'll see about the time. But as a soft date, I think on Monday, October 6th, I'll officially launch the Owen Report, which will be live 3 to 6 p.m. weekdays and be nothing but news. Nothing but news. And it's going to be way more radio style. There won't be really network breaks. But, you know, we'll have. like I want to do

planned segments like I want to do a segment called the rant where I just rant for a segment I want to do a segment called the roast where I roast

somebody or some situation so it's like I'll get a sponsor for those segments and then we'll do the rant and it'll be brought to you by them and then we'll do the roast and it'll be brought to you by them at the top of the hour

I want to do a news break so I'll have somebody can five minute just headlines at the top of every hour so it's just a news break at the top of every hour. So you'll get that. So this show is going to be nothing but news.

And then immediately Owen starts rattling off hacky zoo crew morning show segments that he wants to do on his show. Yep. None of that is news. None of it. It's all personality-driven commentary shit, exactly like what he was free to do at Info Wars. And I have nothing but news to tell you. Bad news that this shit isn't going to happen. No one's going to spot.

Owen's rant segment. Nope. Adam Crolla might fuck around and send him a seasoned desist. Like, he's just... Dennis Miller is going to beat him up in an alley. Wild. Also, boy, the rant...

That has a lot of... I'm capable of being entertaining for a series of words behind it, which I... It's... No good. I can't believe this. I can't believe he's saying this with a straight face.

Now I will say this is why I said at the top of the show It's entirely possible this is a prank because this is so stupid This is shocking Yeah this is the this is the levels of bad ideas that I would come up with if I was trying to prank somebody I thought early on that we were in like I want a pony territory where it's like oh well I'm glad that kids should believe should reach for the stars You know that's what you should do now we're in like oh we're about two days into this hypermanic episode, and this person's about to spend $30,000 that they do not have. Yeah.

We're in trouble here. The episode started with, Ha Ha, ha, isn't it funny that Owen got fired or maybe quit? Who knows what's going on here? And now it's upsetting. Yeah. Now his vision of what's possible in the future is... Very scary. Hoof.

And I will say this. What? I will put money together and sponsor his roast segment for one week if he roasts you. I, I, that would make me sad. I would give anything for a good roast from Owen Schroier. But man, it would just be so sad. Yeah. We wouldn't even enjoy it.

I would insist he work clean. Don't know that blue shit. It's too easy. It is too easy. It just comes out and does the aristocrats. Every week he does the aristocrat. Here's what he would do. Here's what he would do.

What you do is you do the reverse roast and you just talk about, man, I can't believe that guy's dick is so big. You know, you go that way, make it ironic. Yeah, hockey puck. That's the way to do it. So there's some great news. This is not going to happen? Well, no, it's going to happen.

It's probably not going to happen. He still thinks it's going to happen. Right. And it will never be behind a paywall, which I respect. I respect that. Sure. Let me just make this. Let me make this promise you.

The Owen report will never be behind a paywall. Depending on how fundraising goes in the next week or two, I may decide to do something else on a subscriber base. Like a paywall? The Owen report, my three hours a day news, that will never be behind a paywall. I promise you that. You will never have to subscribe to anything

to get the Owen report for three hours a day. But depending on what fundraising looks like in the next couple of weeks, and how easy we're able to get sponsors in. Wow. Who's we? That'll determine what we do with a subscriber-based program because that's where most people are going is towards the subscriber-based program.

So, you know, there is that, but I want to go more of a traditional radio type thing where you have sponsors on board, you have live reads, you have segments that get a sponsorship, you know, somebody will sponsor the phone line, somebody will sponsor the studio. We have a microphone sponsor.

So that's how I want to do it I'll sponsor an air horn that I can hit the button to hit like Whenever I want We should have a remote air horn That he has to Like while he's on his stream We're allowed to just click it whenever we want

And he'll never know Yeah And what if we go like a week without clicking it He'll always have the fear of when the next one is going to be And then one week I'll replace it with the scatman Absolutely We should essentially Here's what we're saying.

We need to subsidize this show so we can slowly drive Owen Troy or crazy. We need so much more money to sponsor him in horrifying ways. Absolutely. I say we're just creating like, I'll pay you to eat that worm. That's where we're at. No, I don't want to do that. That's degrading. Yeah.

And not creative. I'm fine with that. It's not interesting. No, no, I'm with you there. Yeah. We are more creative than that, but that's what I'm saying. I don't want to say that I want to do a squid game. I'm again here we're back at it it should be called the Owen hour how are we not there well

the Owen report is terrible we need to talk about that yeah much like the name the wind network the Owen report is taken yeah he should have looked into this of course it is so the Owen report that's the name of the British parliamentary report from 2016 that revealed that polonium 210 was found in the body of Alexander Litvinenko the former Russian secret agent who was murdered in London. Irony. The Owen report makes clear that Putin carried out a nuclear radiation assassination on foreign soil.

So this name's a little iffy for someone like Owen who's worked at a painfully pro-Pooten media outlet for the last decade. I don't know if this. I would have chosen a different name if I'd Googled it. And it just makes this look really sloppy. Like he's put no effort into this at all. Terrible. And that kind of makes sense.

Like it would be hard to see Alex pull off not doing any preparation for a decade and getting away with it all the time and not think I can do that too I mean you have to it's going to be so harsh when the rug comes out it is it's got to be it's got to be maddening to watch like the luckiest man in the world get through scrape after scrape after scrape without effort like that's got to be insane so you just figure like when you go to an open mic or something like that and you go like I can do that except for this is brain surgery you can't do that you can't no it who can he even look to from info wars that has left and anyone cares right about them like Leanne McAdoo didn't go on to do anything and and she left on decent terms

yeah Millie Weaver done done Caitlin Bennett uh cat Bennett whatever the gun whatever their name yeah yeah whatever their names are yes exactly David Knight Whoa, I think he's still crushing it. Or he's dead. No one knows. I think he's alive and probably still doing his show. Probably. The fact that I said probably means something.

Yeah, that's, that should. Why isn't Owen like reaching out to them? Maybe Owen and David Knight should get together. They've already got an Owen and Knight thing. Yeah, why not? I don't know why he would think like he's not up against a very serious disadvantage. crazy so um you know we were talking a little bit about how this is upsetting uh in a way that the expectations do not feel like they match yeah what could happen yeah get ready for that

to get worse no i think uh i think i think i'll probably just do straight three hours by myself no guests and just do news every day just do breaking news and um for my more controversial takes let's say or my more conspiratorial takes or you know things that might turn sponsors off, I'll do a separate show. I'll do Owen Schroyer live where either we have no sponsors at all or that's where kind of a subscriber-based thing will come in and you can pay for that content. But what I'm looking to do is a three-hour talk show for everyone. A three-hour talk show that you feel confident sharing with your friends and family. A three-hour talk show that you feel confident playing in your car when you're

driving Uber or driving your friends around or playing in your business when you're doing business throughout the day. Business. That's what I want to do. I want this to be for everyone. I want to be America's anchor man. That's what I want to be. That's so sad.

If you break it down, what Owen is saying is that he wants to host a show that people aren't embarrassed to listen to, which is what InfoWars was. Yeah. He's lived for 10 years as a guy hosting a show that people have to make excuses or apologize for liking, and now he wants to be free of all that. Yeah.

This is some ungrateful shit. The only reason Owen got to host his own show like a big boy is because he went to the pretend channel where his boss would get drunk on air and throw hatchets around while lying about murder victims in service of selling fake pills. Yep. If it weren't for the fact that InfoWars was an embarrassing cesspool, he never would have been able to compete with other applicants for the position that he ended up in. He was only serviceable because nothing was expected of him.

he was another talent at a one talent business he could have slept through large chunks of his show and it wouldn't have mattered and now he thinks he should be america's anchor man i the only okay so everybody who's thinking oh we're here for some schadenfreude the only response i had to that was to just go oh honey like that's that's how i feel the only response that i had to that is like saying america's anchor man feels like a ron burgundy reference maybe maybe this is trying to signal that this is a prank. He can't seriously have this idea about himself. He can't seriously. But I think he does. Wild. He also says America's Anchorman a bunch of times. Clearly, it's branding that he wants to.

I'm going to be America's Anchorman. And then people will say, oh, it's America's Anchorman. Owen Troyer. Oh, my God. Of the Owen Report and also Owen Live. Where he does his spicier takes. His controversial takes. Yeah.

He wants to do his respectable news show for three days, three hours a day. day and then do the interesting show. What's great is even like the like idea of openly telling people the lies you're about to tell them. Like, oh, what I'm going to do is tell the sponsors that I'm this person. But in reality, I'll tell you I'm this person. Yeah. Ha ha ha.

I'm going to paywall the crazy stuff in order to try and trick somebody into paying for my rant segment. So the sponsors will never figure out this whole idea as long as I don't say it out loud on the live stream announcing what I'm doing. It's almost as if I've figured out a way for me to live two lives and never the twain shall meet between them.

It's cool. It's good. It's good. It's smart. It is like, it is another aspect of the self-awareness to be like, I'm going to do a show that people don't come up to me and say,

I have to hide underneath the blankets while listening to it with headphones. Otherwise people will think I'm crazy. Children don't. Don't periodically insult me in public for doing the show that I do. And not realize that what he's saying is actually about Info Wars and not himself. I mean, it's both, really. Well, I suppose.

Yeah. I mean... It's insulting Info Wars. Right. But it's also a damning sort of admission about yourself that you could only thrive in an embarrassing environment. Yeah. You didn't go there and start getting embarrassed. you were embarrassing, and that's why they wanted you.

Yeah. Like I said earlier, his great sports reporting didn't get him the job. Right. He got the job for yelling at people at protests. And that's why he's there. And that's why they're embarrassing. You can only get hired at a place that wants the cuck destroyer. And there are very, very few places that say,

that guy calls himself the cuck destroyer, yes, please. Yeah, people who are only going to get hired at a place that interviews Rufio Pan Man. Right? And Count Dankula. I mean, you can't. Oh, my God, this guy taught his dog had to do a Nazi salute as a joke. I got to get him on the show. I got to get him on the show.

I want to do straight news. But for the subscribers, this guy taught his dog how to do a Nazi salute. We got to get a lot. Now we got to get him. Oh, God. Just amazing. Mm-hmm. But here's what's great about this.

it's not even going to get started because there's no way he can get any of the stuff necessary together first off within a month get the fuck out of here it's a tight timeline you idiot second nobody's going to come work for or with you because you can't pay anybody I wouldn't be so sure about that

I bet there might be some enterprising young groipers who would be willing to do it on spec get labor exploited yeah happy labor day no I bet I bet they would for the cause maybe maybe he might be able to solve a couple of those problems, but all of them, I don't think so.

I'll tell you what. I don't even think. Especially in a month. Three to four cameras? Get the fuck out of here. A second studio? Mm. Well, I wouldn't be confident in launching it

with just the one he's using right there. I would be more confident in that. It sounds fine. I would be slightly, no, I would be slightly more confident, but I still don't think it would happen. Yeah. Yeah.

So I think we have some problems with his plan. Right. I think there's some problems with foresight and self-aware. But there's one problem that isn't here. What's that? He is very brave and he walked out at Info Wars because God told him to. Did he?

Yeah, God guided him. Oh, God. You know, whenever I've gone through things personally or professionally in, let's say that everything that led to this decision today, I always just gave it to God. I always just said, you know what, God will let me know. It's not even going to be up to me. it was never up to me and it's not ever going to be up to me it'll always be up to god that's why jean hackman's so you know we went through some stuff in the last couple of weeks and i always just said okay i'm just going to give it to god just god will let me know um and then there were just

more signs like now's the time just more signs from god like now's the time what are you doing now's the time and in my stubbornness i said well let me just be sure and so when i called Alex and I said hey I want to come in this week but after that it's done let's let's do it on your show let's make it positive and I want to shake your and I wanted all to be good and when he said no don't come in this week we don't need you to me that was the final sign from God it's like okay that's it that's it's like when they fired you literally not another stone I could turn over to say it's time to stay that was it that was it it has to be it yeah these guys have such an idiotic view of the divine.

Owen is trying to say that he listens to God, but then he's describing making his own decisions repeatedly until the ability to make a decision has been taken away from him. And now that he's not welcome to continue at Infowars, he's trying to act like he made a choice to leave because God guided him to. What Owen is discussing isn't stubbornness, it's non-belief, it's an absence of faith. Based on Owen's own version of the story, he didn't make a decision. Alex did. Owen wanted to come in so he could promote his new show on the way out, and Alex said, get lost.

God was telling him that it was time to make a move before this, and Owen did nothing until the decision was made for him, and this is being called submitting to God. These guys are all religious frauds, and it comes out when they start trying to describe how their religious inclinations impact their lives. They're able to recite Bible verses, and yelling about hellfire is fun, but when it comes to living your beliefs, all these people reveal themselves to be charlatans, when they start talking about it. And they better fucking pray there's no hell. Because they're going there if there is.

Yeah. Yeah. I mean, it is one of those nice things about that is that I win the bet either way. You know, if there's no hell, no big deal. If there is a hell, everybody that I don't like is going to be there. No big deal. I mean, hey, I'll be there too, but whatever. A high percentage of the people you don't like.

I mean, the, just, the concept of faith to them is like the one thing that they truly just do not understand. right if you are given a position wherein god says uh you should do this thing but you say but i know it's smarter to do this thing it's the faith that gets you to do the other thing that's the whole thing that's it yeah that's what it's supposed to that's the faith yeah that's it yeah right and to be like ah no i'm pretty sure i'm right that's not the jesus christ until you are unable to make a decision yeah being uh like convinced of your own ability to know better than God until you don't have a choice is not faith. No, that's, I guess, the reason that God fucks people over a lot in the Bible.

Yeah, and these types of stories, you just hear from people like Alex, and I just don't think that there's a depth to their spirituality. No. I think that they may think that there is, of course. But faith and religion and walking with God and a personal relationship with Jesus, these are pieces of like narrative convenience for them it doesn't mean anything yeah the concept of sacrifice just simply the concept of like even if this isn't what i want to happen or i want to occur or the results that i want because of this i do this i'm mad it's it's amazing it's amazing so um we're

talking a little bit about his uh un unwise expectations they're not they're not good they may be too high. They're about to get worse. Uh-oh. I mean, I'll just put it like this since it got brought up earlier. I want to build the biggest political family and political movement since Rush Limbaugh. That's what I want to do. And I mean, you could say that Info Wars might have been the biggest. Could you? Could you? You could probably say Info Wars was the biggest. Maybe it still is. I don't know. The

landscape is changing so fast now. And I guess after tonight, even more so. But that's what I want to do. I want to be as as inviting for everybody, even the people that disagree. I mean, that's crazy. That is absolutely crazy. You want to be as big as Rush? I want to have everything without sacrificing any of the things necessary to have anything. Does he think that Rush was a straight news show? Absolutely.

I remember listening to Rush on the road with my dad. and I remember hearing nothing but the straight news. And, like, that's a show for everyone that's super inclusive was Rush? Yeah. That's stupid. But also, like, I don't think that he's taking into account how artificial and astroturfed rush was. Yeah. And the popularity that he enjoyed, a large part of it was the consolidation of media companies that were happening at the time.

the way that radio stations syndicated package deals around markets and the monopoly that came out that developed in radio he couldn't rush wouldn't have been rush without it.

No. Hannity wouldn't have been Hannity without it. And these environments don't exist now because of social media because of Owen's ability to do a five-hour stream complaining about not being at Info Wars anymore. Like the the ascendance of those things, the fact that it's easier to do a show

means that you can never be rush. Yep. And that's the deal that we've all made, I guess. And it's very sad to hear him fantasize. Yeah, it is really sad. It is really sad. It's really sad because to a certain extent, and I think there's something within all of us, right?

When you see somebody who's fully trapped inside, an illusion, there's a part of you, not all of you, but there's a part of you that says maybe they maybe they're happier. Maybe they should stay in there, right? Because to watch them, because we've all seen it, we've all seen people go from the full illusion to realizing the world and it's not pleasant. It's not pleasant to watch. It's not pleasant to have happened to you. And it's only pleasant in this situation because Owen Troyer sucks. Yeah. And I think that he'll probably have the benefit of like a little bit of cushion like i don't think it's going to be really bad for a while sure because he does have enough resources and connections in a lot of places in right wing media

that he can go and do a press tour of a bunch of podcasts and shit probably yeah and and maybe it'll work out for a little bit maybe but it's not going to pan out no i mean it's just it's just not He's no rush. There's no skills. Nope. So he takes some calls. And like he has a system that's able to take calls. Why get a new studio?

I don't know. Crazy. Vanity. Right. So he has a guy who brings up an old quote of his. Okay. I just wanted to say, I think you're going to crush your next endeavor. And I will be following along closely.

And the reason is because I think you're one of the only real honest, honest, people covering the news especially when it comes to trump you're not a blind you know uh proponent you actually break things down credibly and i always come back to um if it can't be applied uh universally it's not logic it's propaganda that's one of my that's one of my quote that's one of my quote and quotables right there if it can't be applied universally it's not logic it's propaganda we're gonna We're going to etch that one in. We're going to develop a couple more. Who's we?

I think in the coming years. But that's definitely one that stuck. Exactly. I got it from you and it was just like engraved in my mind. So you should frame that for your new studio and have it on the wall. I'll get it etched into stone or something. That's an awesome, smart sounding, dumb person quote. The positions Owen puts forth on his show don't all spring forth from some universally applicable logic that he's applying to the world.

but if he says something pithy like this, dipshits kind of think that that's what he's doing. Just earlier in our episode, we've heard Owen advocate for deporting immigrants to random countries that they have no connection to and saying that tyrannical acts are fine if they can said to be lower crime rates. Neither of these things could possibly be universally applicable

because if they were, then he can't care about gun rights and Guantanamo Bay shouldn't have been that big of a deal. And look, sure, the war in Iraq was costly, and it killed a lot of people, but it was pretty damn effective at reducing the number of 9-11s we've had since then. Not even one in 24 years.

I mean, I suppose. Well, I mean, a specific one. Yeah, right? You can't really have another one. My metrics work. That's fair. I'd also hate for Owen to apply some of this universally applicable logic

to his religious beliefs. If he accidentally did that, he might end up figuring out that his god's a propagandist and sent himself right into a crisis. What? Oh, no. Universally applicable logic.

I do love the ability to say words and never think about them. And then when you hear them back, you smile because they sound good, not because they have any meaning. It's wild. Yeah. Like I would hear somebody say that to me and I'd be like, whoa, I'm, oh, boy, y'all, maybe click and I would just turn it off. What are we doing here? Yeah. Yeah.

I would hear him say, like, I think I can be the next rush. And I would be like, turning my chair around and getting the fuck out of here. Kid, you got to, you got to learn how to crawl before you can walk. And my dude, you don't even have legs. Yeah. So he does get a number of calls from people who are like, I love you, man. You're the only reason I listen to Infoars, blah, blah, blah. All right.

But he also gets a call from clearly one of our listeners. Uh-oh. This is on his own stream. Oh, God. And, yeah, this person is definitely one of our fans. Let's take the next caller. What's your name where you're from? Hi, I'm Bob from Booby, Maryland.

Okay, Bob, go ahead. So, listen, you said God was telling you it's time to leave. And Alex's God tells him the time, too. My question is, what time's right? Which one is it? I can't talk for Alex. I'm talking for myself. So this is the right decision.

So does God also tell you the time? Is this is this a his or two for unknown power? Oh, I'll tell you what. If you want to ask Alex Jones a question, you'd go ahead and call his show, okay? I can't answer what power. I'm asking you. I'm asking you. How would I know?

What are you asking me? I'm asking you, does God tell you the time? Is this a thing you both share or is this something new? No. No, I don't get a, God doesn't tell me the exact time of day. I have a natural clock like everyone else does in their head. I don't know about that. She just wakes you up and tell you it 245 exactly.

No, I've never had that. Interesting. Interesting. All right. All right, Bob. That's pretty funny. That's pretty great. Good stuff.

Good stuff. Because Owen knows exactly what this person's asking. Oh, yeah. He's poking fun at the idea that Alex believes this, and Owen went along with this. Yep. And Owen will refuse to be like. like, uh, yeah, I don't believe that or, yeah, I believe that. You won't do it.

Owen, Owen, Owen. You got to, you got to eat it, you know? That's the thing now. Now you're on the other side. But that's the, that's the trick for a guy like Owen. The trick is to eat it. Nobody thinks you're going to be able to eat it. Everybody thinks you're going to run away.

Everybody thinks you're going to try and do that stuff. If you eat it, if you really just go, yep, here's this shit. Here's the real shit. Fuck Alex Jones for all of this stuff. This is what's true. And it's such an interesting. sort of parallel because someone calls in and is like, hey, do you not like methylene blue? And Owen's like, yeah, I tried it once and I didn't really like it.

I'm not anti it, but I don't like it. I don't want to promote it. Right. So he's able to kind of cut through the bullshit on that. But like, does I like have magic? Yeah. Like he can't, he can't be like, no, that's full of shit. Right.

He's a crazy person. Like that's like, but that's where you got to go. You got to go with that. And that will be interesting. That will be for everybody. Ironically, the thing that you want to be for everybody is the one thing that you cannot do. Yeah, probably. Wild.

Dunkin on that. What a fuck. He's the only person besides us in a better position to shit all over Alex Jones. And that is the thing that he's not doing. Yep. God damn it. So he gets another call. Right.

This person is not one of our listeners. and I think they are very unhealthy. This sounds so scary. I've been watching you forever when Trump first came on the scene, basically, and me and my mom first started watching you, and then my kids love you, and they're six and seven years old. Wow, that's awesome. That's awesome. They have a little, he's right here now, actually.

my little girls they have a little owen his name is owen it's like a beanie baby which you know because we're the same age and beanie baby named owen watches yeah he's a rainbow owl beanie baby owen and owen watches owen every day at the tv wow and they love you yeah this is deeply upsetting stop they're too young be responsible Owen, be responsible. You're not on Info Wars anymore. You can just say, lady, no. This type of content is not, it's for adults. It's not for six and seven-year-olds to be watching every day.

What are you? Naming their Beanie Baby after fucking Owen. Man, that's going to be a fun, that's going to be a fun two truths and a lie icebreaker that those kids are going to have in college. Hopefully they don't remember. Yeah, that'd be nice. So here, here's my hope. Yeah.

Owen ends up getting to talk to these kids. Yeah. And I actually kind of... Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. The kids go on the... Well, not really. Right. Because they might not actually exist.

Okay. I'm rewriting this entire call. Okay. As a person who is imagining having kids. I like this. Owen wants to talk to you. Okay, they're ready. Did you guys have a good...

Did you guys have a good labor day? say mom made us do school because we homeschooled oh that's why we watch open every day that's why we watch you every day wow did you guys learn you guys learn today yep say we we teach cursive you're our news it seems like it seems like they're a little shy are they a little shy right now they're they're they're making owen talk to you here's an easy one here's one for you do they have a do they have a They have a favorite food? Yeah. What's your favorite food, you guys?

Are you going to tell Owen? They're very, very, very shy. If they met you in person, different story. Smash cut to her talking to a mop. Here's what I had. I had in my mind a very pristine couch with all the Beanie babies on it that she's talking to. And she's like, this one's Owen. This one's my child.

You know, that's, yeah. It's crazy that that is preferable to imagine to six and seven-year-old. I would give anything to her brain to be melted, and I want those kids to be fine. I want them to be fake. Yeah, exactly. So she has another thing that she likes, and that is music. Okay. And so she and Owen talk about how music is going to be an important part of his new all-news-news-news-news-all-news-news-all-news-all-news-all-n-afford music.

I'll give you a little teaser. I intend to make music a big part of the show going forward. Yes, thank you. It's not going to be like, you bring my childhood. It's not going to be like nothing is really going to change, but it's like the musical element is going to be a very important element. You're going to get a little bit, you're going to get a little bit of an it scratched if you like music. And we're probably, we're going to do a little more of a cultural thing with like pop culture,

like I'm going to do movie reviews like Friday. Oh, you want to watch a movie with your family? You're going to do news. Watch this, like what's good, what's bad? So we'll do a little bit of that. No. If you're listening and you haven't heard a song in 20 years, you're going to hear it and you're like, oh my gosh.

If you're listening and you hear a song that you have never heard and you're like, what is this amazing sound? I'm going to introduce you to new music. So I do intend to make that a very big part of the show because I think you're talking about NPR. or MTV in the 90s. Yeah, man.

I'm Matt Pinfield. It's ridiculous. So he's going to quickly learn that you can't put ads on shows that use copyrighted material without permission. Hipping people on alternative rock bands from the late 90s is great, but if you don't have the rights to these songs, that's going to be a huge problem. Also, this show's supposed to be three hours of news. I thought everyone was too into commentary and not serious enough, but now we got family movie reviews and music recommendations. like Owen just wants to be a morning DJ from the time he was a kid.

Yep. That's all he apparently wants to do because that's the show that he's describing doing. Yeah. But I guess he didn't want to do a morning show he wanted to be in the afternoon, but he wanted to be an afternoon zoo. I mean, I get it.

I've, you know, we've known morning news people or morning radio people in the past and they tell stories about waking up at 3 a.m. And going in to just do a meeting. And then, yeah, it's awful. I get why you're not doing it. doing that, but also that's the only time to do that. Yep.

And I think that something about the insanity of being up that early, it gives you permission. Yeah. To maybe talk to a puppet. And everybody's just, everybody's just in their car. They're not, they're not any happier or to be there. So they're just, they're just looking for anything to get them out of that this car isn't moving right now. Yeah.

Yeah. But I just think that's maybe his dream. And it's sad that it just doesn't exist anymore. Yeah. I mean, that's a fine dream. It's just not available to you. Yeah. Yeah.

And I, the ultimate irony is the only place it probably was available to him was Info Wars. Yep. He could have just been like, Alex, let someone else take over the war room. I'll do a more, like I'll do a morning show or I'll turn the war room into like a cool radio show with the movie recommendations, music stuff. Every time Alex was thinking we got to go 24 hours. here's the type of show we're doing. He's not saying, I want to add straight news. He's saying, I want to add a painting show.

Owen, that's a morning zoo shit. Yeah. Yeah. He walked away from or was fired from. The only place he conceivably could do the thing he wants to do. Every single thing that he has done is in avoidance of the only thing that he should be doing. And that's hilarious to me. In every decision we see him making is like, it's exactly like, it's exactly.

like, it's exactly like the decisions from God. He's like, oh, God told me to quit. God told me to quit. God is telling you to do so many things right now and you are doing none of them. Yeah. So this next call, I'm going to apologize in advance for this because this is a little self-indulgent.

Okay. This is another one of our listeners. Because nobody else is watching. No, that's not true. He does get a fair amount of calls from his actual fans. I don't want to, I don't want to make it look like the only people calling in or fucking other. Gotcha. But it's, hey, what are we doing here and look this clip is long but it needs to be for a full context okay and because there's a payoff a little bit later in the episode and man it's worth it okay um

so anyway here is the very suspiciously named jordan freezin hey uh jordan freezin i'm from chicago all right jordan go ahead hey owen a long time fan i just got to ask you who's going to destroy the cucks now over at info wards I don't know. It's not my, it's not my problem anymore. I cannot, not my problem. Hey, so I had a question, actually, about something that that old drunk boss here did to you. Okay. When you were doing the Sandy Hook bit there, was it him who told you you had to bring it up and tried to make you the fall guy there? Well, this, this all came out in court, so it's not like I'm breaking any news here, but I guess you would have

to have read all the documents. Yeah, the definitions with Bill Ogden. And actually, I kind of was revisiting this a couple days ago because I think somebody else had some legal thing that they were asking me about. The two instances where I covered that, both times those stories were brought to me. So no, I did not decide to cover those things.

They were brought to me to cover. sounds like he made you do it no well that's not accurate no no no that's not accurate either now i don't i don't recall the exact transaction because you have to understand i was still new you know i was still the new guy on the block at the time um and so when when i'm told to cover a story you know i do it i'm new guy uh and so yeah i did it i don't remember the transaction or how you know who brought it to me or why or who said it but no i i do know that yeah those were not stories i chose to cover. Those are stories that were brought to me to cover. I know it just sounded fishy that that's when the statute of limitations, you know,

and it already expired, then he kind of has the new guy do it. It always felt like he was kind of throwing you under the bus thing. Yeah, I mean, it never felt that way. I think, though, you have to understand, and I, you know, I tried to explain this earlier, and I can now, too, but it may be a little more detailed. Like, you have to understand, folks, that the info war, as info wars as a concept as a let's say intellectual theory it it's not an empty words it's serious Alex seriously means that um and the reason why I mean look I always compare it to the last dance documentary because it's just true um you know Alex is like Michael Jordan and so unless you are a true believer, and unless you have the true vision, and unless you're willing to do

whatever he wants you to do, you know, you're going to hate it. You don't want to play for the Bulls. You don't want to work for Alex Jones. So unless you're willing to accept that mission and know, you know, at Info Wars, it's okay, you're going into battle. Now, I'm not comparing myself to anybody that's done tours. Let's just be clear. But like Wednesday, and you may have missed this, but I said this earlier. So I'll kind of, I'll kind of use this as an example. example, on Wednesday, I don't know if you were paying attention, but we basically broke the story of the trans shooter. We did that. I would say with 98% confidence that if we don't do that, you probably today don't know it was a trans individual, don't know the identity, don't see the manifestos, the videos, none of it. You probably don't have any of that without info wars. I would say 98% true. That's the case. Now, we knew when we got that exclusive at about 10 o'clock, or 9 o'clock before the show. Alex wasn't in studio. I was. But I talked to Alex. He said we got the exclusive. And, you know, I've already been through this. There's nothing good that comes out of us

covering these things. Never. Never has been. Not one time. I get burned every single time. And I've been censored because of it. I've been sued because of it. There's a good chance they're going to hit me like Jones. In another case, just like that, that I was never allowed to talk about. I was all I told, never talk about it. So I'll talk about it now. Yeah, they're trying to Jones me right now. They could hit me for $10 billion that I don't have. So I'm in a legal defense for that. Totally, totally illegitimate case against me. Totally BS. We're trying to get it dismissed. It's not a cheap legal battle. I'm funding it all. And I'm funding it all by myself, by the way. I had to fund the whole thing myself. It's not fun for a story that I didn't want

to cover. Wasn't even on my show. And I get sued for it. But whatever. So Wednesday comes along, it's like, all right, everyone knows we're going to get burned. If we break this story, we're going to get burned. And I said, fine, I'm getting in the co-pilot seat in the Millennium Falcon with Alex Jones again, and we're going to take down another death star. And we're going to do it. And I know I'm going to ride into the fire with Alex, and I'm going to get burned. But all right, let's go.

One more time. So we freaking did it. And what happens? Before I'm even off air, multiple headlines. Owen Schroier celebrates mass shooting. Owen Schroier celebrates dead kids. total lie, totally illegitimate, and yes, for the people that reported that, I will be suing you too. I'll go ahead and announce that.

Yeah, you're going to be sued. Okay? So that's how that works. That's how it works. I knew that. Yeah. All right, fine. So it's like, that was my last dance.

Okay. Last dance. Generally speaking, I ignore most instances of callers who bring up our show and are very clearly trolling Infoers, folks, in some way that might be inspired by our show. But I've made a decision to forget that policy for today. one reason is this is Owen's own stream so I don't know if I care about people bothering him the reason I asked people not to call into Alex's show initially was about two major points one I wanted to understand what Alex's worldview was and if I had tons of people trolling him and

baiting him into having meltdowns it was going to be so much more difficult for me to figure out where he was coming from and what these beliefs were it's a bad experiment if you've got all that yeah it taints everything exactly and then two people like Alex and Owen don't don't operate from sincere places, so arguing with them is counterproductive. Asking them questions and taking their answer seriously is a fool's game, so I cautioned people away from thinking that they could get an actual debate going. Both of these concerns are honestly, mostly gone now. I understand what Alex's ideology is.

I've spent years listening to him and reading the primary documents that he cites, and I get it. Calling into his show and fucking with him can't really get in the way of me learning anything anymore so if anyone was holding back on that count i don't think they should worry about it at this point yeah not on my behalf i won't be bothered i still think that it's unproductive to engage with these folks directly and i think that malicious trolling is just inherently unhealthy for you to engage in for your own sake yeah but people are going to do what they're going to do i think that info wars has been spared from a ton of harsh feedback and trolls because people were being courteous to me and i thank them for that but i also don't care anymore i also think that another

element of this is that it's also like, you know, there was one person who was trolling Alex at an abortion protest. Yeah. It was like, I want to eat my babies. I love killing children. Yeah. And that's turned into an argument in favor of, like, people who are interested in reproductive rights or murderers. Sure. You know, like, it's easy for something you're fucking with him about to be turned into, like, something that works for him. Yeah. And it's good to be careful about that. Yeah. So the reason I played this clip in its entirety is because it was the only way I could convey

the actual reason that it's interesting. Even if this wasn't someone calling themselves Jordan Friesen, the way Owen responded to this question is revealing of something that I don't know if he realized what he said. Yeah, I know, right? Owen is talking about the coverage of this shooter as his last dance with Alex, and he's relating it to other times he's got sued for defaming people around mass shootings. he knows that nothing good ever comes out of covering these things and rushing out unverified information

that's got them sued in the past but Michael Jordan is telling him to put on his jersey so he goes through that fire one more time in order for this to make any sense one of two things has to be the case either Owen has to think that the trans stuff about this recent shooter is possibly fake and that they were rushing out this story

in order to push a narrative or he has to think his past coverage of these kinds of cases was good. And the consequences he received from it was just the system punishing him for being too cool of an anchor. In the past, when he's engaged in this same behavior, where he's covered stories, someone has just handed him about breaking news and mass shootings. Owen has accused Neil Hesselin about lying about holding his son's body after the Sandy Hook shooting. He's misidentified multiple mass shooters. When he's gotten heat for his coverage on these stories, it's not because no one

can talk about these things, it's because he fucked up and his coverage caused damage to people. So when he's presenting this recent shooting coverage, he did as one last dance with Alex. It's hard for me to believe that he thinks he's covering news seriously now unless he thinks that he did a good job all those times in the past. And he can choose which one he wants, but I don't think that he can take the good side of both. there's so okay so if you get inside the millennium falcon right sometimes yes you do destroy the death star but sometimes you are also eaten by a caveworm on a unmarked asteroid right so in in both cases one is admitting something about what's happened so let's let's roll play yeah you and me i'm alex

zero and we're getting into the Death Star. I want to be Han Solo. Yeah, of course you can be Han Solo. I'll be Chubalo. I want to be Chubaka. Okay, then I'll be the chessboard guy who goes, I get to be on solo and Tobaka. God.

I'll be, I can't be C-3. You don't make me be C-TPO. Fine, shit. I mean, R2D2 doesn't even talk, man. Bebobobobobo boop. Are you him too? Beboop. Oh, God.

Wait. Are you making me live? Leia? You can be a leo. So, Owen, I think, like, I really got the sense that he is responding

poorly to this caller. He's not doing good. This caller is put him on his back foot. There are things like that bringing up Bill Ogden's name. Clearly, this person knows stuff. Oh, yeah, absolutely.

So Owen's not going to... Too much stuff. Right. To the point where Owen's, like, yelling over him. Yeah. This is not the vibe that the rest of this show has been.

Mm-mm. It's very. very much like he's reverting into Alex. Yeah, I'm hearing him use the... That was my last dance. And then the next day, I'm hosting the show. I got a great show. I got three hours of content.

And then it's just some crazy thing with Alex interrupting again. And it's just a whole... And I just was done. I was like, so even after that, even after I go into battle again, even after I get burned again, and I still can't even do my show the next day without dealing with it. So it's just like, all right, whatever.

But I didn't want any of this to be public. I wasn't going to talk about anything. You know, because I've been silent. I haven't said anything. I was going to stay silent until I talk to Alex in person tomorrow and get it settled and go out positively. And he said he didn't want to do that. So that's why I'm doing this tonight. But see, but that's what I'm saying, folks.

Like, some of you might be able to comprehend it. But, like, Info Wars is a real thing. We cross the Rubicon before everyone else. We climb over the barbed wire and we bleed out. and then we let everyone else climb over our dead carcasses. And so it just happened again on Wednesday. Is anybody giving us credit? No.

Does anybody care that we got burned for everybody else to wield the Promethean fire? No. That's part of the job. That's part of the Info War. Awesome. I signed up for it. I'm all for it. But then it's like the next day I can't even breathe.

The next day I can't even get the training wheels off my bike. The next day I can't even go on air without a babysitter. It's just like, all right. So I just assume whatever. either he's not happy or he thinks he has to babysit me or I just don't want to do this but again I didn't want to go public with any of this I was silent on all of this

but then Alex didn't want me to come on air and promote my business so I have to right all I'm hearing here is a dude who feels undervalue Owen understands that he was taking a huge risk by being on air with Alex while he identified a mass shooter and he's pissed off that Alex

wouldn't see him agreeing to do this as a sign that he can stand on his own two feet Alex still needed to micromanage him the next day and poke around in his show, and that doesn't make Owen feel like a big boy. I feel like he could have saved a lot of time and energy if he just said, I'm hurt. Yep. I was hurt. This hurts me.

I feel like... Hurt my feelings? There's no confidence. I don't feel valued, and that's a big part of people's job, is they like to feel like what they're doing is valuable. Yeah. And that requires me to say, I'm sorry, I cut you off with the clip. Yeah.

By starting the clip. No, I was, I was, yeah, no, that's totally fine. Um, I, okay, this is maybe the worst example of daddy issues I've seen through its right wing media in a long time. This is, because, because otherwise, why the fuck are you responding to this with, I knew we were going to get burned and I chose to keep doing it. And I think that's good. And then, right? The example of getting burned is. like there was a negative headline

about you. Yeah. Who cares? But I mean, the other example of getting burned is there's a billion dollar lawsuit against you. Right. Which is a more important getting burned I feel like to learn from. But, you know, the headlines hurt too. Yeah. I get it. You know, pride is what it is. But like, this is just

the time you go, this motherfucker's crazy. Even if you still believe in all the stuff, right? Even if you still believe in all the stuff, you don't have to say that Alex Jones isn't fucking crazy. Well, I think that none of the stuff that, none of these behaviors that he's manifesting or that are being described, even in the, like, least generous interpretation of them, like, they're not new. No.

These are all things that Owen would have been seeing and experiencing for a while. Yep. Like, Alex has done the same behavior that's gotten him sued repeatedly. He doesn't give a fuck. He doesn't learn from his lessons. Yep. So, like, there is nothing about this story other than I couldn't put up with. being underappreciated anymore.

So I tried to lash out, and Alex said, beat it. Yep, $50 says if Alex called tomorrow, he'd take his job back. Wow, that's an interesting bet. You don't have to be right or wrong. I'm just throwing that out there, $50. The money line is by the end of two weeks. Is he going to be back at Info Wars? I think Alex would need to recoup, like, give him some money for whatever he wasted

on the world independent news graphics and stuff like that. Yeah, yeah. He sunk a little money into printing already. So, like, I think whatever that is. He went straight to printing? He made, like, a microphone flag. Which he obviously didn't do in the time between his call with Alex and the start of this stream. Yeah, that's true.

So this is clearly something he's been planning for a while. Yeah. Anyway, he's a dick. I hope he's got business cards. Those are going to be very important. Mm-hmm. Maybe one that says, like, Owen Schroier, big shot. Ooh, I like that.

Yeah. So he just doesn't want people to think that he's attacking Alex. Right. That's really important, even though he's been directly attacking Alex repeatedly throughout this stream. Again, I don't know. I don't want this to come off as like a negative thing, folks. I'm not trying to be a Thorne and Alex aside. I don't want to be.

I don't want to even, I don't want Alex to ever think of me again. I don't want to, I have nothing but respect and admiration and appreciation for Alex. I'm not doing this as a negative thing. I'm doing this because I have to. I don't have a platform anymore. I was told not to come in this week. So this is the only platform I have. I can't announce my...

Where else am I supposed to announce this? Where else am I supposed to... This is it. This is all I have. I would have loved to do it on InfoWars. I was told not to. So I don't even want to be a Thorne and Alex's side. I don't want people to say that this is, oh, I'm attacking him or turning.

That's not what this is. This makes total sense, but I think that Owen isn't willing to just be blunt about what he's saying. He wanted to promote his new project to Alex's audience on Info Wars, and he was willing to play nice with him, if Alex would let him do the next few days of the war room to land this plane gently. Alex said no, which left Owen with nowhere to promote his shit. And if he waited until tomorrow, Alex might have a chance to attack him on in-for's and control the narrative.

So he needed to get this out immediately. He had to do this, which might come off as a bit assholeish, because Alex wouldn't let him do it the nice way, because he got fired. Of all the things that you've learned from Alex, the one lesson that would help you right now is knowing that loyalty is the wrongest move in the history of ever in this world. In this world

you attack the shit out of Alex and then he might just give you what you want. That's how crazy all of these people are. Yeah. Especially if in some way you become really valuable to him later. If you become more important by attacking Alex you're more likely to get back in Alex's good graces. He's still going to fucking

hate you but he'll pretend not to and put that to the side. If it's profitable. I'll make money. Yeah. He doesn't give a shit. You cannot hurt him emotionally. You can't get anything from him for being loyal. The only thing he likes is obtaining people's admiration. If he's already got it, then you're shit to him.

Yeah. Yeah. So our last caller was old Jordan, for his own. Great guy. And I don't know if there's any way to top that. All right. Next caller, what's your name where you're from? Do we have the next caller?

Dan Holmes. I'm sorry. We were breaking up. Do we have you? Dan Holmes. Okay, Dan, go ahead. Hey, I just actually had a question. Is this going to make a good episode of Knowledge Fight?

Oh, I'm sure. Yeah, you guys do. You guys watch everything I do. I mean, you are the one who said you were a puppet on your deposition, so that was really cool. Go ahead, man. Have it out. Have your fun. Go ahead.

I'm also the last caller. The morons forgot to hang up on me. I'm really looking for you. All right. Well, I appreciate that. I'm sure you mean it, too. Next call. What's your name where you're from?

Smooth. That's good. All right. Whoever that is, Victory Lap. Yeah. I'll give a tip of the hat to that. Absolutely. Because that wasn't too mean, but it also wasn't taking Owen's responses

seriously. There was a lot of danger in that as a prank call. It was an appropriate way to poke. Yeah. Yep. And I think, obviously, his response to the question, this is going to make a good episode of knowledge fight, you know what that means.

Yeah. Bro. Yeah, you know what that means. You're supposed to not know what that means. So that's fun. It would help you a lot more if you didn't know what that means. But then also, he says that we watch all of the things he does. And I think he is the Info Wars personality that I'm interested in.

the least. I think we've... I've almost never watched. Like, I very rarely watch the war room. I can't really bear his boring ass. I remember. I remember for the first, like, 300 episodes, you

would have listened to hours upon hours upon hours of this. But all the time, you would be like, and then Owen Troyer showed up, so I turned it off. Yeah, if he was hosting, it's like, well, I... Time to go. Skip. Gone. Yeah, he just stinks. Like for a long time

he was just doing an Alex impression and trying to be like him and then he kind of found his own footing but it was in service of being like a little blander and it just he had nothing like Harrison was able

to find his place as bookish dweeb Nazi. Yeah really fine. Yeah. Chase found Brendan Energy real fast. Instantaneous the best guy there. Yeah. These people were able to find their niche. And I think that, you know, in the same way that maybe somebody is a decently funny comic,

but they're just doing like a tell or doing Headberg. Yeah, yeah. Can't find their voice. Yeah. It makes them less interesting to watch. Yeah. And that has been my battle with Owen Troyer until the day he quit. Uh, today, buddy.

And now I'll do a fucking long-ass episode on a Wednesday about him. Welcome to the future. Yeah. Oh, boy. So I mentioned Chase there. Yeah. Do you think he's CIA? Oh, God.

I wish. That would make, if he was an undercover anything, that would make Chase the most interesting person we've ever talked about. What if he was an extra and undercover brother? I would still make him pretty interesting, but not the most interesting person we would ever talk about. I'd listen to the story. For sure. So this caller wants to know if Chase is CIA. Next caller, what's your name where you're from?

Hey, Olin, just learning now about everything that's kind of going on. I was always wondering, what's your sentiment towards maybe Chase Geiser and all of this? Everyone says he's a CIA asset and he's destroying him for us. Okay. I'm not going to say anything negative about Chase. I have had nothing but a positive experience with Chase. I think we've probably, we've had like two or three times where maybe we had a, let's say, just a professional issue. and we addressed it and cleared it in a day.

So, no, I don't think Chase is any of that stuff. I think Chase is a good person. He's a great father. He's a great husband. I don't know his status right now, to be honest. I don't even want to get into that. I don't know what his status is. But no, Chase actually did nothing.

So I would love to, like, I would love for him to have been asked if Owen had any feelings about Alex caring more about Chase than him. Like, that's such a more interesting question. Totally. Like, did you feel like you were cast aside when this boy showed up? Absolutely. Did you see a spark in Alex's eye that you remembered seeing in 2016? I mean, and it's a perfect thing to bring up right now when he's raw and he's so obsessed with not looking like exactly what he's going to look like if he has to respond to that question.

Oh. So at the end there, Owen says that he doesn't know Chase's status because there's been more shakeups at Info War. After it came out that Owen quit Chase tweeted quote I will not be hosting the war room I made a decision to work for Bigley a month ago because I felt I could help Alex and InfoWars more effectively

by making the store as awesome as possible I moved to Arkansas a week ago What? And just like that Alex is left alone in a dark room with just his thoughts and Harrison Smith There wasn't a lot of talent in the building to start with but this shit is falling apart

pretty fast. That's not what I expected. Yeah. I did not expect to hear that Chase was in Arkansas, but good for him. Well, it makes sense. Yeah. I mean, he has more of like a marketingy background and that kind of shit. And like if I were in his position and Alex had put my name on the documents for the Alex

Jones network. Oh yeah. I would also start working for the real company as opposed to being an on-air doof-eufist. for Alex. Like, this is a way better job. Absolutely. No, I mean, it's, it's, like, it's, and it's perfect because it would be something to go do where you could sell it to Alex as being like, I'm on the inside now.

But then if Alex actually needs anything, you're like, I don't work for you. And guess what? Jokes on you. I'm your boss now. Exactly. You idiot. Why did you put it in my name? I talked to a lawyer.

Working at Bigley is ironically exactly what a C.I. that is true somebody who is trying to say follow the money or someone who's trying to position himself in a place where he could really influence Alex yeah absolutely I don't think Jay's a CIA but I think it's funny doubtful but it would be funny what if he was IRS what if he's an undercover IRS agent now we're talking what if he's liquor patrol oh there's no way to there's no way that he'd survive Arkansas no so Owen describes his new show and again this is all just direct three hours of news attacks on Alex but the three hours of news coverage if you like my news coverage owen report October 6th three hours three to six p.m. In my style and my delivery the way I want to do news and that's that's how we're going to do it. I'm not going to be doing the going out of business sales. I'm not going to be doing to buy this product or everyone's going to die. You know, I'm going to do a classic tradition. style of a broadcast. And we're going to have sponsors. We'll do some other kind of new age

stuff with subscriptions and other ways to fundraise. But I really just want to do classical stuff. So like I want to do a segment called the rant where I just do a five-minute rant and that'll have a sponsor. I want to do a segment called the roast where I just roast somebody or a topic. That'll have a sponsor. I'll have a microphone sponsor, a studio sponsor, a phone line sponsor, some other segments and stuff. And so that's how we're going to do it. So that way you don't have to be inundated with ads all day long you don't have to be inundated with different live reads and sales pitches and sales techniques you're not going to deal with any of that it's going to be very straightforward it's going to be me delivering the news you don't have to deal with some guy

trying to sell you a raffle for a truck you don't have to deal with somebody saying hey you get ten dollars on us oh my god and an asshole i love i love these types of conversations because i've had this type of conversation with people in the past who wanted to start like their own franchisor, you know, stuff like this. And it's like, you're saying all of this stuff because you're really confident that people blah, blah, blah, blah, but I will tell you this. The reason that you are seeing all of this stuff is not because it does not work. It is precisely the opposite. Yeah.

It is because what you want to do does not work. Yeah. That's it. Alex does this shit because it's really lucrative. It's how it works. Yeah. Yeah. And trying to operate in this media space.

other ways is suboptimal. It's absurd. But also there's like, um, the issue, there's so much wrong here. But like, there is a guy who's way too confident telling you this idea. And I'm sitting here thinking like, well, logistically, this isn't going to work. Nope. Like, you're not going to be able to magically make this studio and then create your own vibrant radio with four cameras, uh, rush.

Uh, this is the new rush. It's not going to work. But then even, like, what he's describing, if executed perfectly, is not interesting. Yep. The, like, every piece falls into place exactly right. And he creates a show where he talks about how there's cool music from the 90s. And he does a rant that's sponsored by somebody. Oh, my gosh.

He does a roast. Like, even if he does all of these segments, it's a boring show. Yeah. It's not cutting edge. It's not doing anything new. It's not exploring the format. And I think that that's like a compounding of how sad this is. Yeah.

Like it's sad in a delusional way. But it's also sad in a like, even if you pull this off, you fail. Yeah. Like it still sucks. Yeah. I mean, what you might as well be saying is like, I want to go back in time. I wish, I wish things had gone differently. That's another way of putting what it is you're describing.

Should stay at that sports station. Yeah, absolutely. I wish I just. gotten really into baseball. Maybe it was a dumb idea to go film yourself antagonizing people at protests and thinking it's a career. Yeah, but to learn that would be very devastating. Yeah.

So there's a theme that runs through a number of calls, and that is the question of whether or not Owen got fired because he was talking too much shit about Israel. Right. And Alex doesn't like that. Right. This is something that people really want to know about. Okay. Well, first of all, are you under the impression?

that I've had to censor my Israel coverage because I was at Info Wars? It felt like Alex had he wanted to keep a positive spin with Trump. Well, okay, I would say I didn't really censor anything, you know. I would say that I took, you know, I took into account that Alex didn't like

all the Israel stuff, but I still covered it, you know, as I saw it, but probably I probably I probably didn't spend as much time on it, maybe. I don't know. As far as the negative about Trump thing, I always called it as it was about Trump. And that's why he was always coming into the studio and saying I was negative or a pessimist or all this other stuff. In that very short clip, Owen said that he never censored his coverage of Israel, but also that he didn't cover it as much as he would have on his show because Alex didn't like it. These are contradictory statements. Further, he's saying that he never censored himself about Trump, but that because he said

the things he did, Alex created a hostile work environment that was so uncomfortable that he stormed off his show and quit his job of almost 10 years. That's very obviously an attempt on Alex's part to exert censorship pressure, and I'm certain this isn't an isolated incident. Owen probably just really didn't care that much about going along with it all the other times because InfoWars wasn't about to go out of business back then. Yeah. People get a lot of backbone when the checks are clearly about to start.

start bouncing. And, you know, it's not worth it to play along anymore. It can't be. And maybe, arguably, it could, maybe it never was, depending on how you view time. I would certainly say it never was. Right. But. I mean, you know, you probably had some really good dinners, though.

Yeah. So in the moment, at those times, it was probably worth it. You got to smoke a cigar with Eddie Bravo and talk about out of the earth is flat. Yeah. I'm sure there were a bunch of experiences that, you had a great time. There were a bunch of experiences that you're going to be happy with. Yeah. And it makes a great scrapbook.

Yeah. But you're not going to be in the media. No. Nope, nope, nope, nope. So he gets another call from someone else who wants to know about, you sure that Alex didn't fire you over Israel? Right. Final question. Now, it had nothing to do with you coming out against Israel, coming out, speaking out against that whole power struggle.

they had nothing to do with it, right? You mean, were there ideological differences? Yeah, no, no, no. No, I mean, look, I do think that, I do think, well, how can I put it? I guess I would say it like this. There's things that Alex Jones is allowed to do on air that I guess I'm not, right? Yeah, no shit. So when Alex talks about, you know, oh, we're all going to die in World War III, that's okay.

But if I come out and say something negative about Trump, I'm too pessimistic. so okay you know whatever um there were definitely i do think i think Alex looks at it like this because at the end of the day i am a bit of a representative of him right i mean he still signs my checks i still work for him so i mean we have a huge audience he knows people in dc in the white house and people are tuning in and so i think he gets a little afraid that i might say something that might look bad on him from people in dc that he's trying to win favor with perhaps so you know I guess I get that. And I don't want to be that guy.

If that's how I am for him, then I don't want to be that guy. But no, that's not what led to this. Did he get upset that I was too negative or pessimistic? Yes. Did we have it out on air a couple times and private a couple times? Yes. That's not what this is about. I mean, Alex didn't fire me, guys.

This was like a, you might call it a mutual parting. You might. I wanted this to happen in a positive way at Info Wars, and he didn't. So that's really the only. That's really the only thing here. It's a big thing, though. Let me ask you a question. So what you're saying is that I wanted to go to work, but the person who allows or disallows me to go to work said you are no longer invited to work here.

Right. But the reason that I wanted to go to work wasn't really to do the work. It was to promote my new business. Right. I was sort of freelancing a little bit. Right. Right. So that still sounds like you've been fired. Only this time it's because you were going to waste company.

time. I wanted to go to work after I had stormed out. Right. And then just not showed up on Friday. Right. I wanted to come back to steal the copier. Right. But then my boss said, don't come in.

And so I think it was mutual. I think it was pretty mutual. I want to say it was pretty mutual. What a fucking asshole. You know, here's what I've always found. I've always found that even if something is inconvenient or distasteful, it's just not admitting the truth or not speaking the truth makes you. anxious like listen to the way he's like well but i mean i wasn't censored i wasn't it just be like

you know we all make compromises at work buddy sometimes i was censored i bet you are too anyways next yeah i think that's difficult when you've spent 10 years working at a place that has URLs like censor dot tv right at band dot video i think your brand is a little tarnished by that you know so these callers are really pushing this whole idea about like are you sure it wasn't but Israel, because they want the answer to be that Alex fired Owen for his coverage on Israel stuff. That would validate the whole Alex works for the Jews narrative, and it would help solidify Owen as a true believer that they could count on.

That's why this answered question keeps getting asked, because it's not a question. It's an offer. These people are offering Owen a chance to be like, would you like to open the door, step on in through the door, we're all here waiting. Yeah. Yeah. You have exited the controlled opposition mothership or whatever. You can come over here now if you want.

It's a surprise party. Yeah. Also, what Owen is describing in that clip is Alex exerting a shocking level of editorial control over his staff in order to make sure that what they say is pleasing to the people in power. The idea that Alex would micromanage Owen's show because he was worried about what his powerful friends in Washington would say is really dark. And I think that Owen should see that as a huge problem. The fact that he can kind of be like, eh, what are you going to do?

It's not that bad while describing this is insane. See, this is what I'm saying. Whenever you just accept the truth and for what it is, you just remove so much anxiety about it. Like, oh, Alex is doing this all for his powerful people in Washington. How about that? There you go. Well, then stop putting on some pretense about like how you're the truth news.

But I'm going to be America's anchor man. When I do the rant, sponsored by Target. That's going to get you rush. numbers doing the rant a five minute rant sponsored by a fucking a dishwasher company fuck you and you're naysaying yeah and here's here's here's why you're wrong why because he's going to do a roast segment and i don't know if you know this but owen has met tony hinchcliff and he is a roast guy so we have one last clip here and it's uh owen impressing a caller talking about how he Oh, my God.

Were you actually on the Kill Tony show, or were you just a guest in the audience? No, no. I was just a VIP guest. Oh, that's awesome. Yeah. I was glad to say, if you were on the guest panel on the show, oh, my gosh. That would be fun. I'd do that.

Yeah, especially with your new, sorry, my heart is beating out of my chest. Let me take a deep breath. Yeah, just calm down. I'll say this while you're catching your wind here. I I Tony was a really nice guy really an awesome guy and I've been around enough celebrities to know and I get it but like most celebrities most people with that level of you know following or fame like they don't want to deal with people they don't and I get it you know you never know who you're talking to taking a picture with you just you never know whatever and so he had an after party and he was there the whole time he was there the whole time talking to people meeting people having drinks having smokes I mean just just just totally down to earth, great guy. So I have nothing but positive things to say about Tony Hinchcliffe.

He was a real class act, really enjoyed his show, and then afterwards, he's just a real great guy. That is so awesome. Man, especially with you announcing your new roast segment, if you were to make a special appearance on Kill Tony and do one of his shows one time in the future, oh my gosh. That would be totally epic. I'd love to do that. Maybe we can get there. Yeah, the roast. You know, an ideal sponsor would be a coffee company, right?

The roast, you know, by a coffee company. Oh, but we'll see. We'll see where it goes. But, yeah, I mean, I just look at, yeah, that's going to be one of the segments. That's going to be one of the bits that I do. I'll just do a five minute. I'll just do a five minute. I'll just do it's going to roast them or an idea or something.

But, yeah, that's what we're going to do. That's going to be one of the fun things that we do. This is almost too perfect. Alex has always been so desperate to be best friends with Joe Rogan. And now Owen is bragging about hanging out with Tony Hinchcliff. It's the circle of life, Jordan. It is, it needs to, the wheel of time must be broken, Dan. It's accidental poetry.

We must destroy them. This is catching a rat live on air. It's just everything. It's, ah. Oh, my God, Tony fucking Hinchcliff. Also, that roast segment's going to rule. I am going to start a fucking coffee company so I can sponsor that to get Owen to roast you. I love, listen, I love it, right?

We spend a decade doing stand-up comedy. It is actually very, very hard to write good roast jokes. It's very difficult. Not if people are going to laugh at you saying a coffee company sponsored by roast jokes. Exactly. I think that's... You're essentially saying, I have no ability to do this. It'll be funny to watch this trash.

Or I... The room is so easy. The level. The expectation of what you all will think is funny is so low. I bet he's not even going to write it. I bet he's going to think that he can just improvise five minutes of roasting. I bet Tony Hinchcliffe's going to write it. Oh, God.

Mm-hmm. Is Tony Hitchcliff that famous now? I mean, did the Trump Nazi rally in Madison Square Garden? Is that really fame? No, I mean, kill Tony's huge, I guess, in certain circles. Brutal. Brutal. What are we doing?

I don't know. I don't know. But I hope. I don't hope that Owen's Zoo crew fantasy comes true. Um, but, uh, yeah, I kind of lost interest in things got, you know, quite repetitive. Yeah. Like I said, I made it to about hour four of the, uh, five hour stream. And I was just kind of like, I don't think you're saying anything new anymore.

This is just going in circles. That's a good way to describe his next show. I don't think you're saying anything new. And it's going in circles. Yep. Um, yeah. I don't, I mean, it's a monumentous occasion, you know, he's gone. Yep.

In theory. Right. Unless it's all a prank. We'll see in two weeks. We got 50 bucks on it. But yeah. I just, words fail me in this, in this, like, this moment of such real gravity. You know, we saw David Knight go.

We did. We were there to witness that. But it felt, it felt right just because David Knight was just a weird old man who was just there sometimes. So you kind of figure him staying or leaving. he wasn't even in Austin, right? No, he was. Oh, he was? Yeah.

Well, either way. He was at nothing. Yeah. You know? He seemed like a strange quantity at Info Wars because he's an old man. He doesn't yell all that much. But, you know, there's a certain irony in that, like, David Knight is kind of doing or has done what Owen thinks he's going to do.

Yeah. Like, he did do more boring, dry news anchor kind of stuff. Absolutely. Like, David Knight was a more. strained personality that you could describe as an anchor on on uh enforces and he failed yep and once he left there is only a relevance to be found mm-hmm i think it's a teachable thing for owen if he wants any relevance he needs to be himself yep and if he wants to stay in this space he needs to be cuck destroyer cuck slaying going out rallies

fighting with people, maybe wearing a silly hat. Dry newsman for three hours isn't going to work. Roasts suck. Rants suck. These aren't interesting segments. I've got advice straight from the Bible. Yeah. All right.

The hot and cold, right? Go hot or go cold. Go as hard as you've ever gone against Alex or go so cold that you just try and change your name and go to a radio station to do sports. Yeah. Anything in between is a failure and you're going to fail. Yep.

That's why God hates the lukewarm because they suck. But again, there'll be like a period where it probably isn't going to feel like it's a disaster. That's what faith is for. Right. This is misguided faith. Anyway, happy travels. Happy Labor Day. See you in hell, asshole.

Yep. Yep. Fuck off. Maybe the last time we ever. talk about this guy ever again. Or maybe I'll watch every episode of his Dom Roast show. Oh my God. But yeah, we'll be back with another episode about the what info of war is like AD.

Oh, boy. Post-Post-Troy. After departure of the ding-dong, the secondary ding-dong. Via contios. We'll be back. But until then, we have a website. Indeed, we do. Knowledgefight.com.

And it's unfortunately not. Winnetwork.com? or The Owen Report.com, which was also available. But it was $500, and that also was too expensive for a joke. That's crazy. He might be able to get that one. Yep. Anyway, we'll be back.

But until then, I'm Leo. I'm DZX. Clark. I am the mysterious professor. Woo! Yeah, woo! Yeah, woo! And now here comes the sex robots. Andy in Kansas, you're on the air.

Thanks for holding. Hello, Alex. I'm a first-time caller. I'm a huge fan. I love your work. I love you.
