KJJP-FM 105.7 is currently operating at very reduced power and signal range using a back-up transmitter. This is because of complicated problems with its very old primary transmitter. Local engineers are currently working on that transmitter and consulting with the manufacturer to diagnose and fix the problems. We apologize for this disruption and service as we work as quickly as possible to restore KJPFM to full power. In the mean time you can always stream either the HPPR mix service or HPPR connect service using the player above or the HPPR app.

Must-See Or Must-Avoid TV? Alex Jones Rails On Piers Morgan

By Mark Memmott

Published January 8, 2013 at 11:36 AM CST

Piers Morgan, left, and Alex Jones on Monday night.

There's really not much we need to add regarding Monday night's "discussion" about guns and gun control on CNN's Piers Morgan Tonight. Everyone's perfectly capable of forming their own opinions.

Obviously, syndicated radio show host Alex Jones — who thinks the British-born Morgan should be deported for advocating gun control laws — was very loud when it came to making his points.

Those points included Jones shouting at one point that "1776 will commence again if you try to take our firearms!"

"Alex Jones," by the way, is trending high on Twitter — which seems to please him.

CNN has posted the video: Part I and Part II.
