Alex Jones, the conspiracy-theorizing host of the Infowars website whose controversial interview with NBC’s Megyn Kelly is set to air Sunday night, has fallen back to the argument of every disgruntled interviewee: “They took me out of context.” 
 
 Except in this case, Jones may cause serious trouble for Kelly, who he apparently took the precaution of covertly taping in pre-interview calls and, he claims, the interview itself, which he is now publicizing on Infowars and his YouTube channel. "I've never done this in 22 years, I've never recorded another journalist," Jones said in a video posted to Twitter, teasing the leak. “God, she was like, ‘I want to get steaks with you, I’m obsessed with you, oh my God,’ wiggling around in her seat. "I've never done this, but I knew that it was a fraud, that it was a lie." “Megyn Kelly waltzed in here and told me she was going to do a softball interview with Alex Jones… she did the opposite of what she said. Early Friday, an NBC News spokesperson told The Daily Beast: “Despite Alex Jones’ efforts to distract from and ultimately prevent the airing of our report, we remain committed to giving viewers context and insight into a controversial and polarizing figure, how he relates to the president of the United States and influences others, and to getting this serious story right. Tune in Sunday.” 
 
 While it is common practice for journalists to engage in a bit of sweet talk to land a big interview, some of the gushing audio Jones has recorded will be humiliating for Kelly. I see the guy who loves those kids and is more complex than we have been led to believe.’” 
 
 Probably the most awkward clip for Kelly will be when she tells Jones: “I will personally promise to look at any clips we want to use of you, and have a producer run by you, whether we are taking it in context, what you are saying.” 
 
 Jones at another point claims that some of his work is “satire.” 
 
 In another section Kelly says: “I’ll give you the chance to respond, I really just want to talk about you.
– Megyn Kelly might now be wishing she listened to critics of her controversial choice to interview conspiracy theorist Alex Jones. Claiming his comments were taken "out of context" in promos for the NBC interview airing Sunday, Jones has begun releasing what he says is secretly-recorded audio of his conversations with Kelly. As the Daily Beast puts it, some snippets "will be humiliating for Kelly." In one apparent recording of a pre-interview conversation, Kelly can be heard telling Jones, "It's not going to be some gotcha hit piece, I can promise you that." At another point when referring to Jones' custody battle, she says the media "treated you and your family as fair game, and they never would have done that [to a] mainstream-media figure." Jones claims Kelly promised to deliver a "softball profile." But "I knew that it was a fraud, that it was a lie," he says, per the Hollywood Reporter. He refers specifically to a promo in which Kelly accuses Jones of "dodging" a question about the Sandy Hook massacre. Jones, who previously claimed the shooting was a hoax, says he admitted it happened but that Kelly purposely omitted the comment. In the recording, Kelly promises she won't take Jones' comments out of context. She even says he can review all interview clips to see "whether we are taking it in context, what you are saying." Given the backlash to the interview, Page Six reports Kelly has asked families of Sandy Hook victims to appear; one father has agreed to appear.
