There’s drama over at Infowars. Longtime Infowars host Owen Shroyer has announced he’s leaving the network. Shroyer, in a lengthy video uploaded on X, shared he was leaving his post at Infowars after the founder, Alex Jones, allegedly said Shroyer was too negative and anti-Trump while reporting. Owen Shroyer has resigned from Infowars, alleging Alex Jones was pressuring him to back off on criticism of Trump and be less of a “pessimist.” Follow: @AFpost pic.twitter.com/KrSak8gVUn — AF Post (@AFpost) September 2, 2025 Mediate provided more in-depth details on the breakup: Infowars host Owen Shroyer announced on Monday that he was leaving the organization after Alex Jones complained he was “too anti-Trump” and “negative.” In a livestream titled, “Why I Am Leaving Infowars,” Shroyer revealed he had been clashing with Jones behind the scenes for some time until he finally snapped and decided to leave the company this week. “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.” Shroyer claimed that after a final discussion with Jones this week, the Infowars founder told him, “OK, we don’t need you. Good luck.” “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.” Watch Shroyer here: Owen Shroyer explains resignation from InfoWars including beef with Alex Jones, and it gets heated! pic.twitter.com/N56fm7omGe — Americultist (@Americultist) September 2, 2025 Alex Jones responded to Shroyer departure in a lengthy post on X: Owen has wanted to go for a while.

He told me he was quitting yesterday afternoon. He told me if I needed him another week he would do it and I said no. It’s that simple. I built infowars to be a radio talk show on TV. The office is a news room, so when big stuff would break I and others would bring stuff to the show producers. That’s as far as me standing over his shoulder went, except maybe twice a month walking on to the show. That’s what we have always done on all the shows including mine. I have known Owen for over 9 years and love the guy. That said when I started to watch what he said last night on line it was sad and I stoped. I wish Owen all the best for his life and the great work he does fighting evil and promoting freedom. I never censored him and agreed with 99% of what I saw him talk about. I only encouraged him to be more positive in general about the fact that humanity has come a long way in the great awakening. Bottom line he wants to be his own captain and I think that’s great. I am surprised by the censorship claim he is hinting at but if he thinks he needs to say that to build his show that will be on him. As for me I am taking the high road and will continue to promote Owen when I see cool stuff he does. Gods speed to Owen…. Alex has since called out Shroyer for being a backstabber: I don’t think the Alex Jones/Owen Shroyer break up is going very well.. “You ARE A SNAKE! You are a rat! YOU ARE A FRAUD! YOU ARE A BACKSTABBER.” -Alex Jones pic.twitter.com/WOBCxsU76y — Uncommon Sense (@Uncommonsince76) September 2, 2025
