Don't believe the hype.

Alex Jones has released the 'secret audio' he recorded of Megyn Kelly over the course of 14 hours last week, when the NBC host interviewed the radio personality and conspiracy theorist in his Texas studio.

The 30-minute recording went up on Jones' YouTube page early Friday, after he spent the better part of Thursday talking up the astonishing and shocking things that the NBC host said to him when the cameras were off.

A quick listen however proved that the tape is anything but damning, featuring audio of Kelly from just a single phone conversation that lasts less than a minute.

The exchange also gives the appearance that the NBC host and conspiracy theorist had a very cordial and professional relationship, which while admittedly shocking is not the revelation which Jones and the InfoWars staff seemed to be teasing earlier in the week.

An NBC News spokesperson said in a statement on Friday: '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.'

Jones tried to cover up the lack of a smoking gun in his recording by filling a majority of the tape with his own impassioned rants on everything from Charles Manson and Jeffrey Dahmer to Pizzagate.

There are also a staggering number of sound effects cut into the audio, which is nothing if not enthusiastically edited.

At one point, four minutes in, Jones even included a scene from 'Clash of the Titans' which showed the battle between Perseus and Medusa.

Jones is like the hero Perseus in this instance, while Kelly is the snake-haired lunatic who turns men to stone with a single glance.

Later, there is an animated sequence that starts off by depicting J.P Morgan's decision to not run advertisements during Kelly's program on Friday by having a man in a suit whose head is the company symbol walking over to the host and kicking her forcefully in the crotch.

Her firing on Monday as the host of the annual Sandy Hook Promise gala is next, which is reimagined by having her dropped out of a wall bearing the charity's name and then furiously banging to be let back in.

'IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A HIT PIECE, PROMISE' In his video, Jones played a recording that appeared to be from a phone conversation with Kelly. This is what it says: 'All I can do is give you my word and tell you if there's one thing about me, I do what I say I'm gonna do, and I don't double-cross.' 'You know you just became very fascinating to me. I just always thought you were this maybe, one-dimensional guy, like this is your thing…' 'My goal is for your listeners and the left - you know, who will be watching some on NBC - to say, "Wow, that was really interesting."' 'And then the next time I wanna get somebody, they're gonna say, "Look what you did to Alex Jones!" It's not going to be some gotcha hit piece, I promise you that.' Advertisement

Last, but not least, there is a scene meant to symbolize their own interview, with Jones drifting around a pool in an inflatable ring while Kelly approached with a microphone.

The pair are soon surrounded by sharks, who suddenly jump out of the water and eat the two, killing them in an instant.

In this instance, the sharks appear to be stand-ins for members of the media.

In another bit of completely transparent trickery, Jones' can be heard taking Kelly to task as he asks her some difficult questions about the questionable editing practices her team used when it came to cutting down some of his answers.

Once he is done with the question, Kelly does not give an actual response to the question though, and it is not clear if one exists and he was not able to get permission or he is just manufacturing drama.

In one instance, after Jones lays into Kelly over how the NBC team depicted his role in the Pizzagate scandal, the InfoWars founder just plays an entirely unrelated tape from when Kelly spoke about the incident in 2016 - while on Fox News.

After posting the video online Friday, Jones' wrote on Twitter: '#NBCFakeNews #msmFail #infowars.'

He and the InfoWars staff also went out for a raw bar dinner on Thursday night to celebrate the pending release of the audio.

What's the fuss: The 30-minute audio features just one conversation with Kelly, during which she cordially speaks with Jones about the interview (above in Texas on June 6 when kelly conducted the controversy)

Jones had spoken about as the recording as if it were a complete shock and surprise to NBC and Kelly. something that seem suspect given his self-admitted penchant for taping conversations.

And the release of the tape, along with his Hollywood Reporter interview on Thursday, have managed to come out at exactly the right time to help promote the third episode of Kelly's during a week when she has opted to stay radio silent.

In that interview Jones spoke at length about his desire for NBC to not air the show, a plea that usually does wonders to increase tune-in for a sit-=down as it implies there will be a good deal of tension and animosity.

'Don't air the piece, because from the promos NBC has run, Megyn is distorting me," said Jones.

'It has all the markings of a PR stunt. The minute she put that promo out there, there were groups calling for boycotts. It was basically instantaneous.'

Jones also said that the media just wants to make him seem like the 'devil' because he is a member of the 'alternative media,' an assignation that some mighjt contest given the more than 6 million people who tune in to his show.

'Fake news lives at NBC. They basically made me look like a Halloween character,' bemoaned Jones to a television trade publication previewing his interview on the network.

He also stopped gunning for Kelly and NBC long enough to start gushing about his best bud President Donald Trump.

'I talk to him quite a bit, but I miss a lot of his phone calls because I tend to not stay up past 10 at night' said Jones.

'The president finishes my sentences sometimes because he's the real deal, and that's why we're synced up — God, guns, John Wayne, George Washington, Thomas Jefferson, free-market capitalism and 1776.'

He then added: 'The media tries to hurt the president with his association with me, but that gives him the rock 'n' roll aura.'

Kelly meanwhile has kept relatively quiet about the controversy over her interview with Jones, which has been brewing since she previewed the pair's sit-down on the most recent episode of 'Sunday Night With Megyn Kelly.'

Kelly did briefly address the issue in an interview with The New York Times while defending her decision to bring Jones on her program.

'What we do as journalists is we shine a light on those with power, those with influence, those who have become culturally relevant,' said Kelly.

'Of course, it's upsetting to know that doing that causes any upset to the Newtown families, many of whom I know well. But I have to do my job.'

'As journalists, we don’t get to interview only the good guys — that’s not journalism,' Kelly told the Times.

'It’s going to be very difficult for us to keep an eye on the more controversial figures of our time if we never talk to them.'

Kelly said she sat down with Jones to examine 'his influence and his — for lack of a better term — method for putting information together to figure out how he got to be so important in the president’s world, in millions of people’s world.'

She also stated that currently 'there are a lot of people who are very angry that Donald Trump is president and a lot of people who believe Alex Jones played a large role in it.'

Kelly is also dealing with another issue as the second episode of her NBC news magazine tanked in the ratings, losing almost half its audience from the premiere one week prior.

Kelly's sit-down with Jones will air Sunday at 7pm on NBC (pair above)

Final Nielsen numbers show that the latest episode of 'Sunday Night With Megyn Kelly' pulled in 3.61 million total viewers and scored an 0.6 rating in the all-important adults 18-49 demo, which was a slight improvement in the 7pm time slot from the previous year.

It was far, far lower however than the 6.1 million viewers and 0.8 rating notched by the premiere, which featured an interview with Russian president Vladimir Putin.

Kelly has been feeling the heat over her decision to interview InfoWars' host Alex Jones for her Sunday news magazine this week.

Sandy Hook Promise, an organization that was created in memory of the 20 students and six staff members who were massacred in the 2012 school shooting in Newton, Connecticut, announced on Monday that Kelly would no longer host one of their annual Promise Champions Gala,

That announcement came just two days before Kelly was set to take the stage at the event on Wednesday night in Washington DC.

The decision made by the non-profit organization also left Kelly with a big gap in her episode that will be airing this Sunday, as she planned to film the gala to run alongside her interview with Jones.

That plan went up in smoke however when she managed to draw the ire of Sandy Hook parents, who lashed out loud and quick as they attacked Kelly for allowing Jones' ideas to be heard by her audience of 6 million.

Kelly responded to the controversy on Tuesday in a statement, saying she was 'disappointed' but also 'respected the decision' of the charity.

'I understand and respect the decision of the event organizers but I'm of course disappointed that I won't be there to support them on Wednesday night,' began Kelly in her statement.

'I find Alex Jones's suggestion that Sandy Hook was "a hoax" as personally revolting as every other rational person does.'

She then explained: 'It left me, and many other Americans, asking the very question that prompted this interview: how does Jones, who traffics in these outrageous conspiracy theories, have the respect of the president of the United States and a growing audience of millions?'

Disappointing drop: Kelly's second episode, which featured an interview with Erin Andrews (above), lost half of the audience from the premiere one week prior

Kelly then offered theories, stating: 'President Trump, by praising and citing him, appearing on his show, and giving him White House press credentials, has helped elevate Jones, to the alarm of many.'

'Our goal in sitting down with him was to shine a light - as journalists are supposed to do - on this influential figure, and yes - to discuss the considerable falsehoods he has promoted with near impunity,' said Kelly.

Regardless of the aim, advertisers were not happy, and JP Morgan pulled their spots from the time slot.

In the preview of her interview with Jones, the NBC News host demands to know how he can declare something like Sandy Hook a hoax given the loss of young lives and parents who are still grieving for their children.

'Oh I know, but they don't get angry about the half-million dead Iraqis from the sanctions...' starts Jones before he is cut off by Kelly and accused of dodging her question.

'The media doesn't cover all the evil wars...' begins Jones, who again is cut-off by Kelly.

'That doesn't excuse the things you said about Newtown, you know that,' states the host, who actually traveled to Texas to meet with Jones in his own studio.

'Here's the difference, I looked at all the angles of Newtown and I made my statements before the media even picked it up.'

And in 2012, in the wake of the Aurora cinema massacre that saw 12 killed and 70 injured when a gunman opened fire during a screening of The Dark Knight, Jones claimed it was a 'false flag'.

'If you look at the full spectrum of information unfolding right now, 100 per cent chance that the mass murder committed in the suburb of Denver, Colorado, right next to Littleton and Columbine was a false flag mind control event.'

He even blamed President Obama for being behind a series of deadly tornadoes in Oklahoma back in 2013 that claimed the lives of over 30 people.
