Alex Jones released audio on Thursday night of his entire interview with Megyn Kelly — saying he secretly recorded the controversial sit-down because he “knew it was all crap.”
The Infowars host posted a video online, along with a teaser clip, around 8:45 p.m. and claimed he would be posting the full tape on the conspiracy website later in the evening.
“I’ve never done this in 22 years, I’ve never recorded another journalist, but I knew it was a fraud, that it was a lie,” Jones said in the video, recalling how Kelly approached him about the interview.

“God, she was like, ‘I want to get steaks with you, I’m obsessed with you, oh my God,’ wiggling around in her seat. It was all crap,” he explained. “I knew it was all a lie. I said Sandy Hook happened, and she wouldn’t even put it in the promo pieces. So we’re going to release, oh yeah, we’re going to release the pre-interview. And then when they put their fraud out on Sunday — which I’ve asked them not to air because they’re misrepresenting who I am and saying I’m as bad as Saddam Hussein, or Jeffrey Dahmer, or Charles Manson — we’ve got the whole interviews here … We’ve got it all … It’s all going to come out.”
The clip that accompanied Jones’ tweet featured a short audio recording of Kelly, seemingly assuring the 43-year-old that her questions wouldn’t be tough.
“All I can do is give you my word and I don’t double-cross,” she can be heard saying at one point.

No it’s not.
Some states (a minority) have all party consent laws. Maryland is one of them. DC and Virginia aren’t for example. In Virginia I can record anyone I want as long as I’m 1 party in the conversation.
What is illegal nearly everywhere is recording someone else’s private conversation. But even then there are some ways around that. Like was it a public space or were signs posted saying you can be recorded.
I also meant to say the fact that NBS was recording it means everyone knew it was being recorded so it’s not covert at all. Except for “off the air” recordings.
Proof that Alex Jones is smarter than Sean Hannity.
He will be sued, unless it was in a state were you can record a conversation with out the consent of all parties.
And, from this point on, the smarmy Megyn Kelly can expect ALL her subjects to want to record her interviews with them. I remember when she was fairly righteous, back in the day. She’s become self-corrupted. Sad.
Yep.
Keep the bastards honest.
Lefties eat their own. Didn’t you know that?
Pulse pens are nice.. You can take notes while recording.
We all remember the first Republican interview. What is that about payback?
Most states have a one party rule. The exception is the all party states.
First Republican debate.
Why? Because she’s untrustworthy.
This should absolutely set a precedent. If you are doing an interview with the liberal media, record it yourself.

If EVERY conservative, and rino, would agree to be interviewed by her ONLY if they can record the entire interview, it will be the end of Kelley. Deborah Norville, who got screwed by the a big boy network, went on to make millions in the cushy job of hosting Inside Edition, may retire someday. Kelley could apply for that gig. The difference is people liked Norville and knew she got screwed.
He should’ve posted it at the same time the interview airs. I don’t agree with the timing.
I remember when we liked Megyn.
Man, I’m getting old.
The question is whether the consent is global. In other words, if both parties know that their conversation is being recorded due to it being an interview being recorded by one of the parties, does that consent apply to the other party secretly recording the interview, too? After all, it is known that the conversation is being recorded, so it's only fair that both parties make a record of it.
I would think this extends to police bodycams, too. If the police officer knows the encounter is being recorded because he's wearing a bodycam, then is it legal for you to record the encounter, too, in case the police tamper with the bodycam recording later? After all, both parties already know the encounter is being recorded by one of them, so it should be legal for all of them to record the encounter, right?

He’s putting pressure on them to re-edit it before Sunday. No one will care about his side of it after Sunday night.
