Ben Owen & Ryan Dalton – Arrested on Epstein’s Island | SRS #311
Two guests, one wild story. Ben Owen and Ryan Dalton join the show to break down their 2026 expedition to Little St. James, Jeffrey Epstein’s former private island, and what happened when it went sideways.
Ben Owen is the founder of We Fight Monsters, a Memphis-based anti-trafficking and addiction nonprofit. A recovered drug addict turned activist, he made national headlines in April 2026 after being detained on the island during a trip to document the property and raise questions about the Epstein case, an incident that ended with a trespassing charge and a disputed account of how he was restrained.
Ryan Dalton is a former federal agent, attorney, and co-founder of Closed Horizon, a crowdsourced intelligence and reward platform focused on high-profile investigations. A University of Memphis Law School graduate who once served as a federal agent with the U.S. State Department, Dalton has publicly challenged the official narrative around Epstein’s death and helped lead the expedition.
We get into what drew them to the island, what they found, the confrontation that followed, and why they believe the Epstein story is far from closed.

Jumping on the bandwagon with Megan Kelly and others. We know the op. Wide awake.
The same LLC,COMPANY IN MARYLAND THAT OWNS THE EPSTIEN ILANDS,ALSO IS PART OWNER,WITH JARED KUSHNER AND IVANKA TRUMP OF THAT ISLAND OFF THE ALBAINA COAST,THAT IS A OLD COLD WAR MILITARY NUCLAR WAR INSTALLATION THAT CAN HOUSE SUBMARINES ETC,AND IVANKA TALKS ABOUT HOW THEY FOUND THE ISLAND WHILE ON THERE FREINDS BOAT,BUT SHE LEFT OUT THE PART THAT THE FREINDS ARE THE ROTHCHILDS,AND IT,WAS THERE YAHT
1:07:48 me and my family have been looking into leaving the states. My dad was born in another country and my grandparents were each from 2 different countries. I’m done and now have hired a lawyer on how to get the fux outta here. At 63, already retired, I never thought I’d be so disappointed, discouraged and frightened to live here. I don’t think it’s going to change and only going to get worse. We are an occupied country and where the he’ll is our military ?!! To protect this country try from enemies both foreign and domestic. Geshhhhh
Somebody should talk sooner or later we need inside info
You have to keep talking about this Shawn, I am a survivor of sexual abuse and this fucking thing doesn’t just destroy one life, it destroys sooo many lives. One child is raped, he may or may not become a rapist himself but regardless he/she are more inclined to have a really difficult life, and struggle to become a part of this cesspool we call a society we are living in. I say to people we are living a midst a world of walking wounded, so much trauma! Hurt people Hurt people! And let’s not forget the RICH pieces of trash who have set this all up and are 💯 culpable and we demand they be exposed!
Seems there’s a sinister & chaotic undercurrent running through all our machinery of State, Education & Culture.
Neglecting what it should be doing it seems to be totally dedicated to the avoidance of work, dedicated to promoting idiologies which have arisen in times past. Idiologies you could be forgiven for thinking are strangely coincidental with what you’d expect in the service of;
Baal – attempts to replace who we worship.
Molech – attempts to destroy what we value.
Ashtoreth – attempts to assault who we are.
These idiologies have names, its happened before…. The kindest thing to presume is they are sleepwalking into the promotion of it, as most have forgotten the horrors these things represent. The worst thing to presume is it’s deliberate.
They need to put out a $50 million bounty on the recovery of Jeffrey Epstein. If he’s alive, somebody needs that money.
Someone,needs to find out what the Fuck,this LLC,ENTITY IS IN MARYLAND THAT IS TIED TO THE ROTHCHILDS,AND JARED KUSHNER’S INVESTMENT FIRM,THAT BAUGHT EPSTIEN ISLAND,AND NOW THIS MILITARY ISLAND IN THE MEDITARANIAN SEA OFF THE COAST OF ALBAINIA!!!
I remember thinking jeff was extracted from the get-go. This man is spot on. I cant be the only person who thought this without any proof. Lord please keep this man safe.
Cut off all ties with the middle east and Israel. See how fast our country turns back around
You know why hits hard when hes says why am i the only person who got arrested
We aren’t stupid. It’s obvious we are being lied too. Day one of Epstein “dead” we all knew it was a lie.
They killed my 4 year old son using CPS handed off to a woman with a restraining order missing but the child support kept coming proved my son was dead at 4 by a private eye sent to Pam Blondie and she did zero your right we are run by pedo’s and a court system that backs them up Good news Jesus said I will get justice how would like to find out your child support payments went to a crooked lawyers trust fund .After I Called child services to report my son missing for ten years and the mom with evidence went to cops too And the Lawyer calls me back in 5 min saying I have no idea who I am fking with and you can have a new son forget about this one ! Than chased for over 6 k miles but they missed thank you Jesus he is alive and ready to jail them all , one thing for sure no one but Jesus will give us Justice it wont be long Keep praying know your bible read Psalms kjv out loud your only protection Is God ! Thank you Jesus ! Paying we get them sooner than later ! It will happen !
My mind is blown..I have no words.
Disney colors *
I think its common for each property to have its own legal entity company. Lots of reasons for this, its not odd IMHO. (48:12).
We want pictures of Emory or whoever was there
KTALGSTO
serving in congress or senate needs to be like jury duty, you get called, you have serve a limited time and the only beneifit is doing your civic duty.
So I never said anything years ago when people in my church worshiped isreal …. I thought I was internally jealous and it made me feel bad it made me feel racist … it wasn’t the people of isreal that warned me it was the leaders in my heart I knew it was coming … and I hid it. I have prayed for the light to shine in dark places and let the river of life flush out the dirt…but it is a scary place to see it coming.
ANYONE ELSE REMEMBER THE Very exclusive Disney cruise to SAINT JAMES back in the late 90s??? I remember the commercial that advertised the Disney cruise for kids where the final stop was to Saint James .It showed all these kids jumping off boats, all the disney characters, and i think what looked like a docked faux pirates boat (pirates of caribbean) alongside the shore, and kids around 10-15 years of playing in the water? There were no parents in the commercial. I don’t remember if adults were allowed on the island once they arrived but i do remember wanting to go so bad because they made it seem like a kids dream. Thinking about it now it kinda reminded me of the kids in the movie pinocchio when they went to pleasure island
Hi is “ mom “
So why did you get caught and not the other 50 YouTubers
AMEN!!!!!
Shawn, ask Ro about his stock trades. As a Californian and from the county he came from, he’s a POS.
Love and respect you, show has become doom and gloom with no solution. Sorry, I’m out for my own health.
There is a million of us for every one of those monsters in the Epstein-Billionaire class. We only need to get lucky once.. they need to get lucky millions of times
I’d strongly suggest next time you decide to venture onto very creepy,very dark evil private property, you should be in shape & armed like a fuckin Navy Seal or an Amphibious Marine Recon with a crew 😉 You sound very ill prepared & totally clueless as to the mission details & your extremely lucky to be alive 777
Can someone help me with my chronic pain?
I just saw a video by Taylor McMahon on Epstein’s occult practices. What both fascinated & horrified me was how his historical research, proved that these unspeakable practices have been a hallmark of the rich & powerful for centuries. Evil has always been alive & well & living among us . . .
50:57 they just don’t have a spine
Epstein isn’t dead, Diddy did do it, Mr. T (orange man) isn’t your savior, Covid was a plandemic, The Royals are horrible, i mean do i really need to go on? Until you wake up and accept that this is Satans world you will continue to believe the lies
777 is super unlucky btw! That’s why casinos have it as the “winning” numbers!
Wtf save the kids I love what you all say but how are we going to stop all this where is our god to let this happen ❤❤❤
First time I’ve heard this on a large platform. Fuck yeah we are sold out
52:04 Would Shawn have Nick Fuentes on? Would be a highly viewed episode for sure.
1:11:52 I’ll save you that time. It’s not, he won’t. Probably Epstein’s billionaire friend who just bought it proxy so Epstein could keep living there or maybe one day go back.
Well , he said he wasn’t going to speculate on this, but why wouldn’t you run this through some type of a I to decipher this. He is on here talking about it. Epstein definitely had help.
Epstein is on the island
Mk ultra is a real thing. U worked for them and u didn’t even know it! They own who they meed to own. And if they don’t need to own someone, then u are nothing to them. Cash Patel wasn’t ready for what the fuck he was stepping into. If u knew the control was done by reptilians, would U be the one to tell the. Human races? And if u did how would u sound? They would make u sound like a loony. G Maxwell is his handler. Look into her father. H guys work for them and they are ur boss. Ur limited to what u can and cannot do.
Sean.

Much respect to your guests; Ben Owen and Ryan Dalton, too. You guys are true bad a$$es doing very dangerous and kinetic, dynamic shht to bring us the truth.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I agree its all fake and gay
Fuc—- Rad guest. Guest and evil Dam right. Thank you guys.
There’s a bunch of issues I have with this story
I just hope the 94 thousand views on this video watched the whole thing
Have you people not seen the cuts here and there ? Like this is odd man…I’m not saying this is all lies but … something stinks SEANNNNN
An occupied police state nation. Cops are being weaponized against Veterans more and more for free speech.
They killed Epstein, seems pretty clear.
