Owen Shroyer Leaves Infowars

“Alex had been coming into my show and talking about how I’m negative and calling me a pessimist and all this other stuff, which is fine. You work for Alex, you’re gonna get hit with it a lot. Alex is not easy to work for,” said Shroyer. “He says I’m too negative, he says I’m a pessimist, whatever, I’m too anti-Trump. So I just said, alright, 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.”

He continued, “But the same issues that I had started up immediately as soon as I came back, and it’s not to say that I didn’t have creative control over the Infowars War Room, but I mean, imagine it’s like someone 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.”

“I couldn’t do what I wanted to do,” complained Shroyer, who likened Jones to a “babysitter.”

“That’s it as far as I’m concerned,” said Shroyer. “So I’m not gonna be going back in, I’m not gonna be hosting the War Room.”

“I feel like I can’t even control my own show,” Shroyer concluded. “Alex said to me on the phone he’s not unhappy with me, he thinks I do great work, and I hope he means that. I don’t know. But it’s just like, when he’s constantly disrupting the show and constantly telling me what to cover and constantly telling me the guests, it just feels like I have no control anymore.”
