2:11:34 They say he still says the election was stolen, therefore we ask for prison time and they list a May broadcast. Incredible, the media has picked up on hundreds of stories, the fact that they said we want jail time for his speech on January 6th, which was de-escalatory and saying don't go in. But the key is they put in here speech on his show. Now that isn't illegal, that isn't tyranny, I don't know what is. So Owen has got to get to the airport here quick, but I roped him in to give us a new update and to lay the stuff out and respond. DrugsReport.com is linked to a live feed of the show right in the middle column. It's linked up on Infowars.com.

Infowars host sentenced to 60 days in January 6th case for his speech. All right, Owen, wow, I was stuck in a deposition where they were saying they're gonna try to put me in prison. So I was unable, as soon as I got off, so what happened to Owen? And they said 60 days in jail. And again, this precedent is so dangerous. Owen Schroer. Well, there's a lot of shocking facts about this case, Alex. I'm not sure where to begin.
2:13:19 And, you know, I don't know how much you want to talk about this, but... You've got the floor for as long as you need. We're going to continue to take the calls, but just go wherever you want. Well, I do first urge everybody we are going to have the full HD press conference after the case concluded today up at band.video. I urge everybody to watch that. The statements from myself and my attorney Norm Pattis, that's where you're going to get all the information you need. And I would say it's this crazy thing now, Alex, where first I had to do a fundraiser just to pay for myself to go on the road and have security and just, you know, continue to grow professionally. And we weren't expecting to have an ongoing legal battle. We thought after today that this fight would be over after everything we've been through. Did I not tell you to launch a fundraiser two days ago? I told you this was going to happen. Did I not tell you?
2:14:11 And so now I have to launch a legal fundraiser, Alex. Now I have to raise more legal funds because I'm gonna have to have this fight in the courts. And let's be clear, listeners will say, why doesn't free speech pay? We're not allowed to under the bankruptcy. Yeah, and I don't know how much into detail you want to get about that, but that's the case is that we're not allowed to fund the things we need to do and want to do. And that's fine. Our audience is still going to support us. They've proven that. And so now I have to have a legal fund. I thought it would be over, Alex. I really thought, I mean, we operated in good faith. We cooperate. It's not about toot my horn, but what did I tell you when you, I told you to launch a fundraiser three days ago? What did I tell you that I thought would happen?
2:14:51 Yeah, and so now here we are. You can go to defend Owen dot com and we're redirecting it now to a legal fundraiser. But like I said, we we thought the legal fight was over after today. We've been cooperating. We've operated in good faith. We didn't think speech was a criminal activity that was going to land me in jail or. And again, also spun it that you were going to turn against us. So you cooperated and you were innocent and you gave them your phone because there was nothing there. And they're just mad about that. And they said they would not give you jail time if you did. They lied. Well, we're now expecting this to go to the Supreme Court, Alex. And so now I've got to have a legal fight up to the Supreme Court. But let's talk about that. Let's talk about the- Well, where's the ACLU? First, where's the ACLU? They're trying to support eight-year-olds being taken from their parents to have their penises cut off.
2:15:36 No, Alex, let's talk about the cooperation that you just mentioned because there was a lot of fake news out there. A lot of lies were told in the press as well that somehow I'd flipped on Alex or I'd flipped on Trump or I'd flipped on something else. Folks, I fully cooperated with the government because there's nothing to flip. There's nothing to hide. They went through two electronic devices. I sat through questioning sessions with them. I gave them answers, fully transparent, fully honest. If there was, they have access to my bank account information. If there was anything there, they would have found it. There's nothing there, Alex, fully cooperative. And so I guess the frustration is that because there's nothing there, now they have to go after me for my speech. But I mean, if we're talking about the First Amendment,
2:16:20 and we're looking at this case, then we have to sit here and wonder what the First Amendment means. And we have to sit here and ask ourselves, what type of jurisdiction does the government have now to criminalize free speech? And so, I mean, quite frankly, I didn't get in media to talk about me. I didn't even expect I was gonna become a free speech icon or martyr, but now this is the fight I'm in now, Alex. I am now selected by the government to be one of the biggest free speech activists on the planet, of course alongside yourself. And so this is where we're at now. But we always warned people, whatever they do to us first, they're gonna do to everybody else. Look at what they've done to you. And now they do the judgment cases against Rudy Giuliani. Look at what they did to you with the censorship. Now they censor everybody else, myself included. So folks understand,
2:17:12 If they can get away with criminalizing Owen Schroer's free speech, they're coming for you next. That's not a cliche. That's not just something we're saying here to fluff ourselves or make this- No, no, no. They've had Homeland Security people on CNN, on MSNBC saying, we want to use Homeland Security as its main mission against the people, and Biden says his main mission is Trump supporters. This is them trying to outlaw their opposition. It really hurts my heart, Alex. It really hurts my heart that the country that I love and that the country that I fight for, and I believe in, I believe in the ideas and the values of America. I believe the Bill of Rights and the Constitution is fundamental to forming the best Republican country on the planet. And it hurts my heart. It hurts my heart that I have to sit here and my lawyers have to sit here and the audience has to sit here and we have to say,
2:18:07 What is the state of the country I'm in right now? Do I even have a country anymore? Do I even have a Bill of Rights anymore? Do I have a First Amendment anymore? Do I have a Second Amendment anymore? Do we even have a real justice system anymore, Alex? And Owen, I know you've got to get on the car to go to an airplane soon to get back tomorrow to host the show and be here with me as well in studio. But let's talk about, I know you've not antagonized the judge. You've wanted to see what's going to happen. And I called you a couple days ago and I said, I think they're going to nail you. And so you need to get ready and raise money. And he said, oh no, I don't think so. And I'm not trying to toot my horn. I just, they're out of control. The orders come down, intimidate America, go after them. Even though they, they're not smart and this will backfire. It's not about, oh, I was right. It's about that I understand the enemy mindset. What was it like in the courtroom? What happened there when the judge got up there? What did the prosecution say?
2:19:00 Well, the prosecution laid out their case and it was actually, it was contradictory and ironic in its presentation because they continued to argue that this wasn't about free speech and this wasn't a case about speech. But then every argument they made in front of the judge was about my speech. In the very sentencing memo, and we covered it all in the press conference today, they cite my speech, I don't know, 20 times, 30 times. There's four different sections in the sentencing memo, and each headline is my speech, my rhetoric. And they phrase it and they change the wording and the lexicon to make it not use speech, but it's rhetoric. It's he said, he was on a megaphone, he presented. It's all speech, Alex. We will not accept the fake election. We're here protesting. And then they even mentioned stuff you did a few months ago on your own show.
2:19:58 Yeah, they're clearly tuned into the show every day. They made that quite clear. But Alex, they even quote in the document that we tried to de-escalate. It's a quote. Yeah, they say, we want to send a peaceful message. How dare you? Good Lord, this is evil. Look, May 15th. Oh, he said they stole the election. Biden's a pedophile. They quoted me saying, we want to send a peaceful message. And they quoted us saying, we want to de-escalate the situation. So how is that adding, as they put it, to any of the mobs? Or how is that amping up any of the crowds if my own speech that they're citing in their document is peaceful message and deescalate the crowd? It's all contradictory, Alex. And I gotta tell you, I hate to assume the worst and may- I'm interrupting you. They say the worst part is you say Trump will win in 2024. They say we want prison for that.
2:20:55 And maybe I'm still naive here, Alex. Maybe I'm still being naive, but I just feel like with that presentation and with the conclusion of the judge that not only do I don't believe I got a fair trial, I don't even think there was ever really any process. I feel like the decision was already made. They could have gone-. Kind of like in Georgia where eight hours before they put out the exact indictment that later said they did and later but they did? Yeah. Yeah, because I don't understand how they can argue that this isn't about speech, but then every insinuation of my criminal activity is about speech. Well, they say he's not repentant. He still says Trump won. They say it. I just showed it. Where's the media protecting itself? I mean, this is insane. When everybody goes and takes your rights away, they're taking their own rights away, Owen.
2:21:49 Well, and let's be clear about this aspect too. You ladies can go ahead. All right. Let's be clear about this aspect too, Alex. We've been operating in good faith. That's why I engaged in the cooperation. That's why I turned over the electronic devices and information that they requested. That's why I engaged in a question and answer session like they requested. And that's why I took the plea bargain. Because the understanding in the good-fake negotiations was that as long as I cooperated and gave them even more than I had to, they didn't have a warrant. I mean, I waived all my rights, Alex. I waived all my rights to cooperate with them under the good faith understanding that they would not push for jail time. And by the way, my pretrial services, essentially my probation officer for the last two plus years, they said I've been on good behavior. I've passed every test. I've been to every court date. I've taken every meeting. And let's go further. There's a third group, not just prosecutors
2:22:44 and defense or the judge as a fourth group I can certainly say they're under federal law for 20 years because of out of control federal sentencing. They have a body in the federal court that recommended no jail time for you. So the court itself recommended no jail time but the judge did it. The pretrial services said zero jail time because of my good behavior on probation. And it was our understanding, operating in good faith, that the prosecution would also not ask for incarceration because I went above and beyond when it came to cooperation. So then they did ask for jail time. So the good faith negotiations were completely shattered, which makes me wonder if they ever intended on
2:23:27 on operating that way. What do you make of Enrique Tarrio on the show yesterday naming names just like he did with Roger Stone, calling him in and saying if you say Trump told you to do this, something you didn't do, we'll give you no jail time. And by the way, Alex knew that I turned my phones over. Alex knew that there was nothing to hide there. There was nothing to sweat over. There was nothing there. Now you said, do you mind if I do this? And I said, no, Ellen, I haven't seen your phone, but we didn't do anything, sure. If there was anything there, Alex, do you think we'd be talking about stuff I said on the show or do you think we'd be talking about stuff that was on my phones?
2:24:05 Of course, so Owen, let's expand on that. This is how they divide us. The feds did the same thing to me a year and a half ago. They said, yeah, we're looking to indict you. They told my lawyers that. But if you'll just proffer and come meet with us and give us stuff, we will leave you alone. I said, I don't trust you. Give me total immunity. And we told them, plus there's nothing there except us, the cops saying, yeah, go try to stop it, which they lie about. We have that video. It hadn't been released yet. And they said, no, we don't want that. And then they ran headlines, Jones just offered to turn Trump in. No, I offered to show him we haven't done anything. Yeah, and so it was shocking, not just in the sentencing memo that they are trying to criminalize free speech. It was shocking to us that they asked for incarceration. We weren't expecting that. We were expecting no jail time. That was the cooperation. That was the good faith negotiation. So getting stabbed in the back. But Alex, again, I mean, everybody wants to know about
2:25:02 what you've been told about the process. You're able to come back to Austin, they're gonna try to sentence you. Can you do an appeal? We know you can do an appeal retroactively, 60 days in their gulag, who knows what they'll do to you. I mean, Owen, you're a mate, they're going up to the press now. They mean to this as a mode of intimidation. What did Norm Patus, your famous well-known lawyer tell you? So we're still working on some of the follow-up details. We do, of course, plan on appealing. The judge might, we might get rejected. They might just reject our appeal and just say, no, you can't appeal. In which case, today's sentencing will be final. But we do plan on appealing. And I will just go ahead and tell you right now, we'd like this case to make it to the Supreme Court, Alex.
2:25:49 Alright, in closing, Owen, I'm gonna go to calls. You're gonna be hopefully back tonight. You're gonna be hosting your show tomorrow at 3 p.m. Central? Well, I'm hoping I'm gonna be back tonight. Tim Poole from TimCast is making every possible measurement to get me on his show tonight. No, that's a great idea. Go there. And then get that done tonight and leave as early in the morning as you can. Because I know where it is in West Virginia around the border of Maryland. And then try to fly out in the morning and then we'll get folks to co-host your show or I'll do it for you. But I think you should do a telecast. I told them, no matter what, Alex, I'm going to be in studio tomorrow. No matter what, unless some unforeseen circumstances, I will be in studio tomorrow. As you can imagine, I'm getting thousands of requests, but we're going to make it all work. No, no, no, no, Ashley Ellen.
2:26:35 Here's the problem. I don't have funds of free speech to pay for it. So I don't know where the money comes from. I guess you said your expenses. So now you're allowed at defend Ellen.com to do that. People can donate, do whatever stuff you want. There's a lot of big shows when you want to bet Bannon wants you on. So Bannon is about an hour and a half away from when Tim Pool is maybe go do Tim Pool to Bannon tomorrow, do whatever you need to brother. You make, you're in command now. You make whatever you want, brother. Make whatever decision you want. Thank you, General Jones. But let me tell you right now, I want to be back at the InfoWars studios. That's our flagship station that is the mothership in the resistance against tyranny. And so I want to be back. I'm dying to get back. And the rest of the interviews I'm going to be able to do from our studios or from our hometown of Austin. And so the plan is to go on Tim Pool tonight and then I'm going to be back in Austin as soon as possible. But I will be back in studio tomorrow.
