The American Journal is a Disappointing Return
The American Journal, hosted by Alex Jones, returns with a lackluster performance. Alex spends half the show complaining about conflicting reports regarding the firing of David Knight and takes uninteresting calls. The show lacks the energy and excitement that was expected, leaving listeners wanting more. Overall, it fails to live up to its potential.
Alex Jones Speculates About Martial Law and Supreme Court
Alex Jones speculates about the possibility of martial law being declared by Trump and discusses an unfounded story about Justice John Roberts receiving a call regarding blackmail. Jones suggests that the Supreme Court is collaborating with the Chinese Communist Party and warns of foreign occupation. His claims lack evidence and rely on sensationalized conspiracy theories.
Howard Stern Mocks Alex Jones
Alex Jones mentions that Howard Stern has been mocking him on his show, but suggests that Stern is secretly trying to spread InfoWars' messages. Jones avoids attacking Stern directly and expresses concern about Stern getting in trouble and being unable to continue mocking him. This raises questions about Alex's perspective and the impact of Stern's mocking on InfoWars' audience.
David Icke's Son Joins the Show
David Icke's son is a guest on the show but doesn't contribute much to the discussion. Alex Jones gets cut off while speaking and ends the segment abruptly. The conversation provides little insight or interesting content.
Today, Dan and Jordan look back at last Friday to examine the aftermath of the Firing Heard Around The World. Having given David Knight the axe, Alex has to fill in to host the Infowars morning show, which is more about Knight not being there than Alex probably intended it to be.
