Career

Shroyer worked as radio host for KXFN and KFNS. From 2016 to 2025, he has worked for Infowars as both a host and a video editor.

In 2018, Shroyer was named in a lawsuit filed in Texas against Infowars and its owner, Alex Jones, by the parents of children who were killed in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting, including Neil Heslin. Shroyer personally claimed on air in June 2017 that it was impossible that Neil Heslin, father of Sandy Hook victim Jesse Lewis, could have held his son's body after the incident and suggested in further comments that Heslin was lying about his son's death. These defamatory claims, combined with others made by Alex Jones, resulted in Infowars being found liable for damages. On August 4, 2022, a Texas jury awarded the Sandy Hook plaintiffs $4.1 million in compensatory damages and an additional $45.2 million in punitive damages.

In January 2022, Shroyer falsely claimed that Canadian prime minister Justin Trudeau signed a $1 million non-disclosure agreement with a minor who had allegedly accused him of sexual misconduct, citing articles from the Buffalo Chronicle, a fake news website.

In June 2023, Shroyer pleaded guilty to illegally entering a restricted area near the United States Capitol building during the January 6 attack. On September 12, 2023, he was sentenced to 60 days in jail. On January 20, 2025, the first day of the second presidency of Donald Trump, Shroyer was pardoned along with nearly every other participant in the Capitol attack.

Prior to his guilty plea, Shroyer agreed to defer his prosecution for interrupting a congressional hearing. In 2019, he interrupted a Congress impeachment hearing to share his views that Donald Trump was innocent and that "Jerry Nadler and the Democrat Party are committing treason in this country!"

On September 1, 2025, Shroyer announced he would be leaving Infowars due to disagreements with Jones over the direction of the network. He also announced that he planned to begin his own network in the near future.

On December 17, 2025, Trump gave a speech and Shroyer commented: "His base has turned. He knows it. Ego damaged. Swagger lost. ... No, the U.S. economy is not doing great. You can’t lie your way through that."

Shroyer lives in Austin, Texas. which has reportedly been a success.
