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. And in those clandestine clips, the former Fox News
host appears to promise to go easy on him in the interview.
In
one 30-minute video Jones published that included extensive audio of a
pre-interview call with Kelly, the new NBC hire appeared to promise the
interview would be a softball personality piece.
“My goal
is for your listeners and the left—you know, who will be watching some
on NBC—to say, ‘Wow, that’s really interesting,” the voice that appears
to be Kelly says. “It’s not going to be some gotcha hit piece, I promise you that.”
