Original Podcast The first ever
0:07
day of the first ever
0:09
criminal trial. Of a
0:11
former president. Riveting,
0:14
For the world to watch. One person.
0:17
Wasn't. Quite so riveted he I have to
0:19
ask. you guys have been at the times, have been
0:21
live blogging, This event
0:23
and forty minutes ago you wrote
0:26
an observation that that. I
0:29
was very surprised. Trump appears to be
0:31
sleeping. His head keeps dropping down in
0:33
his mouth. Go sledding. Tell us about
0:35
them. While taking appear
0:37
to be. Well that with
0:40
Jake Tapper from Cnn asking the
0:42
question of the Queen of Trump
0:44
watches Maggie Haberman from the New
0:46
York Times, he just says yeah,
0:48
he looked like he was asleep
0:50
at of course for Donald Trump
0:52
who has made his career with
0:54
catchy nicknames on the one for
0:57
Biden being Sleepy Joe. What?
0:59
We hide in court yesterday. Was.
1:01
Sleepy down. There. Is
1:04
a reason why the first
1:06
days of this trial might
1:08
be quite a trial because
1:10
the process just to select
1:13
the jury will take. Quite.
1:15
A Heave. We're going to tell you all
1:18
about that. What happened next? Welcome to the
1:20
News Agency Usa. It's.
1:27
Everly is john and on
1:30
the fifteenth floor of apparently
1:32
this volume as but dingy
1:34
Court House. Donald. Trump's
1:36
site occasionally sarcastic, occasionally scowling,
1:39
and as we've just heard
1:41
occasionally fast asleep by the
1:44
proceedings that were unfolding to
1:46
swear in the first Juri
1:48
as you say, Emily of
1:51
the first ever ex President
1:53
to face criminal trial. Yeah,
1:56
and it is quite a moment
1:58
because this essentially his game to
2:00
take Donald Trump out of the
2:02
campaign for the General election. Every
2:04
set when says they have when
2:07
says else. Said. Pretty much the
2:09
next two months, between six and eight
2:11
weeks he has to appear in court.
2:13
He doesn't stay awake. In court
2:15
that he probably will
2:17
want to and he
2:19
will face questions about
2:21
fraud, questions, about lying
2:24
to the American public.
2:26
Questions essentially that go to the
2:28
horse of why he paid one
2:30
hundred and thirty thousand pounds to
2:32
a form of porn star and
2:34
then try to cover up those
2:36
payments. In other words, questions that
2:38
go right to the heart of
2:40
whether the American public should have
2:42
confidence in him and says vote
2:44
him in next time around. Now
2:46
there will be millions of people.
2:48
Across America who only. Have no
2:50
will half here. One line is this
2:53
trial. One line of what happened so
2:55
far in terms of the details and
2:57
will be Millions of others who say
3:00
as Donald Trump is taught them to
3:02
say it so politically motivated it is.
3:04
A witch hunts As a witch hunt is
3:07
just a continuation of which are they want
3:09
to sell his youth and they mean silence.
3:11
They are I think this sick people. I
3:13
think they are people that. Have
3:16
no idea how the world works and they
3:18
have no idea the anger they cause. But.
3:20
At the horses, this whole thing is
3:22
essentially. A. Question about whether. He.
3:25
Was lying about money paid.
3:27
Because he didn't want the American people
3:29
to find out during the election campaign
3:31
of twenty six days of we have
3:34
discussed before the podcast how Donald Trump
3:36
is intent on using. The.
3:38
Trial because he has to a A.
3:40
So. campaign platform, so when he wanted to
3:43
court and when he leaves court comes
3:45
up and speaks to the. It's
4:05
worth. Eating at me in
4:07
the atmospherics. Selected because yes, he
4:09
was a success, but it comes
4:12
out there were only about a
4:14
couple of thousand. Pro. Trump
4:16
supporters downtown in Manhattan where the
4:18
case was being heard about. Five
4:20
million reporters are bet you Every
4:23
Trump supporter was interviewed about four
4:25
thousand times yesterday to say why
4:27
some fair but Donald Trump did
4:29
not get the big support which
4:31
Donald Trump we know thrives from
4:33
having people cheering him on and
4:35
they weren't that many there yesterday.
4:38
I mean, this is Manhattan. You know that?
4:40
Yeah, Manhattan Trial is gonna have a. Very.
4:42
Different luck in a very didn't
4:44
feel to it than let's say
4:46
Kentucky Trump. There aren't a huge
4:48
number of Thompson's residents in central
4:50
Manhattan. On I guess this
4:52
will have an impact into how
4:54
the jury is selected and we're
4:56
going to talk a little bit
4:58
about that because the numbers in
5:00
a as of yesterday a pretty
5:02
stark that they had ninety six
5:04
potential jurors they kind of ways
5:06
the Orleans and then they asked
5:09
them one by one which have
5:11
you already sinks or knows that
5:13
you could not be said you
5:15
could not be impartial in a
5:17
criminal trial donald Trump's and immediately
5:19
they lost about half of. Them So
5:21
I think between fifty and sixty. Said please
5:23
don't be a basel of we go. And
5:25
Ulster that there is a forty
5:28
five question questionnaire and they check
5:30
things like what Pa cause you
5:32
listen to God help us what
5:34
bumper stickers you have whether. She's
5:36
cross your title for podcast. What? I've
5:38
I'm sick of know god help us a selfless
5:40
acts as a perfectly we should marker that one.
5:43
I feel like that sort of the the sub
5:45
same of modus of stuff where he say this
5:47
but. There's a lot of either. Very
5:49
intricate. Questions: You know? Where do you get
5:51
your news from Steel? Cnn or York's Forks?
5:54
Be to have you ever given to
5:56
us campaign, have you ever been to
5:58
a Trump rallies and I guess the
6:00
point they never actually know the judges,
6:02
the weather people, Are lying to them. You
6:04
could go home saying snow and I. Then if they
6:06
take your phone or your car or your bumper or.
6:08
Whatever. but they wouldn't to down to
6:10
nine and in a way. That's.
6:12
Actually, not a bad saw. They haven't got
6:15
those neither. Just got nine people. Who
6:17
so far have gone through that
6:19
first round? But the other thing
6:21
about the hosts are selection process
6:23
is is a juror came into
6:25
that Manhattan courtroom sitting down on
6:27
the fifteenth floor and says i've
6:29
read nothing about it or heard
6:31
nothing about this is using their
6:33
Bloody Liar. I. Mean how is
6:35
it possible not to have heard you've heard
6:37
Donald Trump trying every legal mechanism He can't
6:40
delay. The case is A when he's been
6:42
sailing he saying that the judges corrupt and
6:44
the prosecution or conflicted and on and on
6:47
and on an even going off to witnesses
6:49
like Michael Cohen his former personal attorney on
6:51
that has been told you gotta stop That
6:53
is seems to me almost impossible to the
6:56
you could get a juror who is say
6:58
oh well I'm coming up this with a
7:00
totally blank sheet of paper. I. Slightly
7:02
disagree that I think if he was because he
7:04
had. His own trump is pretty hot find some he
7:06
hasn't. I think even if Miles
7:08
my white a family. Could give me
7:11
a top line of this case. Most of them
7:13
wouldn't be able to do them. So really, when
7:15
it drills out what you know, we're obsessive with
7:17
the widows here, right? We follow every trust and
7:19
said you know the amounts of money, You know
7:21
the delays. You know all that stuff. I
7:23
don't think most people in this country and I
7:25
did think America actually would be that different could
7:28
tell me about this twists and has Could really
7:30
tell you what's that the heart of this case?
7:32
It's just noise. Whoop! whenever we
7:34
have. A criminal case.
7:37
In. New York. There's. One person
7:39
returned to always about is Randy Salads who's
7:41
a criminal defense lawyer or these on the
7:44
line for us now and it's great to
7:46
have you with us again. Randy's I Hope
7:48
Your Wealth did you fall asleep until yesterday?
7:51
Not very much though,
7:53
The. Word unprecedented on our side
7:56
of the pods has now
7:58
become President, did so. Everything
8:00
is precedented now and nothing is
8:02
unprecedented. Say took us three. What?
8:04
You thought about the jury selection so far?
8:06
I mean, I guess on the one hand,
8:08
it's almost impossible to feel totally neutral about
8:11
Trump's and on the other hand, they did
8:13
pretty well. They got nine people through the
8:15
first round already in one day. While
8:18
the reality is when we talk
8:20
about a fair and impartial jury,
8:23
No. One is interested in a fair and
8:25
impartial jury. In terms of the
8:27
lawyers, The prosecutor wants
8:30
a jury. This going to convict
8:32
Donald Trump. The. Defense wants his.
8:34
You're either going to acquit Donald Trump
8:36
or find one person who will not
8:39
go along with everyone else. They will
8:41
be a mistrial or hum fury and
8:43
this trial will not come about until.
8:46
if you're Donald Trump, he's already been
8:48
elected. So forget about fairness in impartiality.
8:50
From what do you look for. I
8:53
look for someone who likes me. I.
8:55
Look for someone who will feel
8:57
sympathy towards my client again, even
8:59
though sympathies not supposed to. man
9:01
we're all human beings. or I'm
9:03
looking for someone that has mistrustful
9:06
of the government. Mistrustful of
9:08
the entire process and believe that this
9:10
is all weaponize and I only hope
9:12
to God that that person keep said
9:14
to him or herself and lies to
9:16
every once and says of course I
9:19
can be fair and impartial The same
9:21
interesting to think that is actually the
9:23
Trump Defense Team strategy just to find
9:25
one or two people that's what I
9:28
would be doing I would be saying
9:30
to myself okay. I know
9:32
it's New York, it's Manhattan's Everybody
9:34
Hates Trump. But the reality is.
9:37
New. Yorkers and I count myself as
9:39
one of them. We. Are.
9:43
Not. Want to follow the fold?
9:45
We. Do what we want. We say what we
9:48
want. I am not going to get. Pulled.
9:50
Over by the system. I am not going to
9:52
be led by the knows I am not going
9:55
to be made a fool out of. and I
9:57
am not merely going to convict because Alvin Bragg
9:59
says the. Sure, And. I'll
10:01
give a crap whether I hate him. I love
10:03
it because the next person in that box. Could.
10:06
Be my son, Could be my daughter,
10:08
could be my best friend. Yeah,
10:10
you make a good case of the sort
10:12
of the Neocons spirit. but just to go
10:14
back to your Soma Point randy which is
10:17
we get what the prosecution, what the defense
10:19
one that this decisions made by the judge
10:21
right? the under judge still have a lot
10:23
sitting on whether the jury. Is neutral.
10:25
Or not. What are the kind
10:27
of questions that are fool proof
10:30
that I'll watertight that he will
10:32
be asking potential jurors to find
10:34
out whether that they're real. None.
10:37
Because the reality is. If
10:39
I want to be on the Suri. I.
10:42
Will be smart enough and sophisticated enough to
10:45
say what I need to say. To.
10:47
Have a shot of saying on. And if I
10:49
don't want to be in the series, it doesn't
10:51
matter if I'm basically a computer. And
10:53
I have no motions, no feelings. never heard
10:55
of Donald Trump and will merely look at
10:57
the evidence like an algorithm. If I don't
10:59
want to be on the series that I
11:02
know what to say. I'm sorry your honor,
11:04
I can't be fair and impartial and I
11:06
will be balanced. So will the kind of
11:08
trouble if a team or the prosecutors be
11:10
thinking that less do a background check on
11:12
this guy because he says he says he
11:14
says he sat button. I really believe in
11:16
own signature cook. See what you listen to
11:18
a lot Texas and. Oh. Believe
11:20
me, there is real time streaming going on
11:23
in the courtroom. Outside of the court room
11:25
there is a mad scramble. But the nice
11:27
thing about picking a jury in the state
11:29
case in the United States as opposed to
11:32
a federal cases. We. As a
11:34
lawyer is actually get to talk directly to
11:36
the jurors or the potential jurors that a
11:38
federal case you don't get to do that.
11:41
The judge is a lot more influence. The
11:43
judge does have a lot more influence over.
11:46
Jury selection and estate case the judge will
11:48
say, listen, you've twenty minutes. Not
11:50
he sells out. Don't go too far
11:52
afield or I will rain you in,
11:54
but it's really the time for the
11:56
lawyers. Define what's your likes? Me. With
11:59
your hate. Me: What's. Your
12:01
do I think will basically be
12:03
that lone wolf. And. Will
12:06
not follow the sold who's paying
12:08
attention. Who's. Not paying attention. Who
12:10
really wants to be here? And who
12:12
does? Is a really interesting
12:14
lot of polling that's coming out at
12:17
the moment on this trial. Randy One
12:19
of the thing is that I I
12:21
saw I heard was that thirty eight
12:24
percent. Of. Americans polls things.
12:26
That he will not be found guilty
12:28
in the schools are now. Obviously that
12:30
is putting the cart before the horse
12:32
and the trial hasn't even begun. But
12:34
it's curious that even people who would
12:37
say I manifestly don't trust Donald Trump
12:39
or dislike him more, I'm in. I
12:41
would set myself again since I actually
12:43
don't think that there is. An.
12:45
Obvious guilty verdict to be found here.
12:47
And that is a simple reality
12:50
of Donald Trump doing a masterful
12:52
job from a Pr standpoint. Of
12:55
making himself out to be the victim
12:57
to making this appear to be election
13:00
interference. What? Because you do. You think
13:02
there is a clear case for convicts
13:04
in his the misdemeanors, the lower level
13:06
crimes or a slam dunk. The
13:09
felonies are a bit more difficult
13:11
because the prosecution has to prove
13:13
that the falsifying of the entries
13:15
in the books in the were
13:17
done as part of a grander.
13:20
Felony. And I don't know that that
13:22
felony is there have been may be a federal
13:24
felony but. That's. Not how we do
13:26
it in New York. It's gotta be a spade felony.
13:29
I'm he. Could he actually be sent to jail
13:31
for this? He could beat. He's
13:33
not going to jail number one and
13:35
number two. I don't think he's getting
13:37
convicted. I think there will be a
13:39
hung jury and by the time this
13:41
case rolls around again, Donald Trump may
13:43
very well be the next president by
13:45
default. What do you think about the
13:47
society? Then you said that he's being
13:50
P R mastermind in the framing of
13:52
this. Do think it works for him
13:54
Everyday going into court say this is
13:56
a whit trans their out to get
13:58
me. This is a weaponized just the
14:00
system. I can't get a fair trial.
14:03
Or. Do you think the actually a could
14:05
start to rebound on hims if he sell
14:07
to be in contempt or whatever. Know.
14:10
Because the fat the were talking about it
14:12
this morning. Is. All you
14:14
need to know that on your side
14:16
of upon world talking about the Donald
14:19
Trump trial and we could keep going
14:21
and going and going. So now it
14:23
is not going to boomerang on him.
14:25
His base is his base. The people
14:28
who hate him hate him. And as
14:30
far as the inbetweeners go, I think
14:32
the inbetweeners Now I'm more focused on.
14:35
Border. Security Being able to ride
14:37
the subways. How much money do
14:39
I have to be able to
14:42
buy groceries? How much is? Guess
14:44
it's not about this criminal trials
14:46
it's about and my better off
14:48
now than I was four years
14:51
ago. So. To me this
14:53
trial will have zero impact in season
14:55
but said I expect to be convicted
14:57
so this way he could say see
14:59
I told her I couldn't get a
15:01
fair trial and if by some miracle
15:03
he's acquitted then all of a sudden
15:05
New York is the greatest. We have
15:07
the greatest system of justice in the
15:09
world's I can't wait to get back
15:11
here. This is what he does and
15:13
nobody does it better. News:
15:30
He's concerted attempts to try and
15:32
make eye contact with the potential
15:34
jurors and it was like he
15:36
was trying to see into their
15:38
souls about where they stood. Whether
15:40
he could. hopefully when the mobo
15:43
we know looking for, whether there
15:45
was a crock of a smiles
15:47
back at him or any kind
15:49
of recognition. of course, you know
15:51
the whole demeanor of Donald Trump
15:54
is to protect power and bleakness
15:56
and authority. and there. He is
15:58
sitting in a with vinci crap. The
16:00
cool house on the fifteenth floor least
16:02
yours a file again and finding out
16:04
as really reports the just looks actually
16:06
quite small. In that setting and against
16:09
the Maggie Haberman comment of him so nodding off
16:11
at point see and when he was passed a
16:13
note mean that how they. Knew that he was
16:15
asleep because his assistant awesome a note and
16:17
it didn't sort of shaky months. I mean,
16:19
the other thing that's interesting is this whole
16:22
question of the gag order isn't as of
16:24
what he's allowed to say outside. Courts
16:26
in any shape or form. And
16:28
this has been a constant with
16:31
Trump. Every time he's faced a
16:33
civil trial, he's ended up going.
16:35
Far as a judge or the judges family
16:37
or tried to attack the daughter or the
16:39
clock with hold onto the court. He's
16:42
made it really personal and really vitriolic.
16:44
Annex in the case of Eating Carol
16:46
which was the sexual abuse case, a
16:49
civil case where he was found liable
16:51
of rape He then actually even after
16:53
that finding he went back and started
16:55
abusing her and had to pay an
16:58
enormous amount of damage. As we know
17:00
this is hits if is over eighty
17:02
four million dollar damages case. Now this
17:05
time it's about his tweets i'm not
17:07
going. To call them to says with a
17:09
plus but he has a platform pulled through
17:11
Social which is sort of spiraling down Woods
17:13
Ursula Stock Market as we speak. And
17:15
the prosecutors had just now got
17:18
this confirmation the every time he.
17:20
Tweets, old posts he will be
17:23
tossed a thousand dollars. It's. Meant
17:25
to be of pussy. I. Can't
17:27
imagine. That. Trump doesn't think
17:30
a post is worth. A
17:32
thousand dollars by in some money, more
17:34
money. Yeah, I'm excited to day stuff
17:36
that step to the bottom of his
17:38
shoes exactly. And recourse, Trump com stop
17:41
himself both speaking about this stuff. This
17:43
was him at a rally over the
17:45
weekend. The entire world. Well with this
17:47
the commencement of the very first Biden
17:50
trial and are all by themselves. You
17:52

17:56
time watching, have a good time watching.
18:00
On Monday a New York City I
18:02
will be forced to sit fully gags
18:04
on that allowed to talk to Do
18:07
believe us they want to take away
18:09
my constitutional right just off. Ever
18:12
for us as a flavor of
18:14
what you're going to get every
18:16
eight. Nelson Mandela, Me, Jesus, I
18:19
don't mind being Nelson Mandela because
18:21
I'm doing it for a reason.
18:23
For doing it for a reason.
18:25
He is Nelson Mandela. He's tortured,
18:27
He is a past, and he's.
18:30
Doing this, he is fighting this fight
18:32
for the American people. I love it when
18:34
he says as a biden trial you know that
18:36
right? Just the clue is in. You know that
18:38
rise it means. Have. You heard that
18:40
message Willie, Repeat that Mrs. I'm going to
18:42
say it again. He said that you repeat
18:44
it back to me. You have to be
18:47
convinced that this is all coming from Joe
18:49
Biden. It's the Amplification Statutes. It means I'll
18:51
teach you the. Lines Please part them back
18:53
to me. And they do. And they do.
18:55
And the other thing that he's asking
18:57
for the his lawyers. Are asking for. His
19:00
and I did of that's a
19:02
good Sex I'd not misheard This
19:05
is time off the his son's
19:07
graduation, His youngest son's graduation I'm
19:09
I suddenly stopped missile. And
19:12
I actually haven't ever. Heard
19:15
Trump refer. To. Baron.
19:17
I never even thought of him as
19:19
being Trump's son. I've been using them
19:21
as Molony Sunday. That's famously. He was
19:23
the son that Molony of the spend
19:25
No time in Washington the White House
19:27
because of issues. So taking school with.
19:29
The. Of the him and Trump suddenly
19:31
saying i need toggle for his graduation
19:33
in the middle of May, his lawyer
19:36
came out with something that really pushed
19:38
the bounds of it's not even allowing
19:40
a father never mind a former President,
19:43
but a father attend his sons graduate
19:45
sense. And let's not forget Passover. Okay,
19:48
observant jews have a right to
19:50
go and and and pray to
19:52
who they want and observe Passover
19:54
and this tags would not allow
19:56
at a meeting. Our. Laura Willard
19:58
Donald. Trump. Nevada And you?
20:01
Yeah, I think she was talking about the
20:03
legal team. But you can hear that
20:05
sort of like grasp of desperation call.
20:07
It is like us. The the the
20:09
graduation and a deposit and While swells.
20:12
With Us attorney the question I will
20:14
the answer to having heard that clip
20:16
is. Was. Donald Trump
20:18
of the graduation. Of
20:21
Don Jr. Of Eric and
20:23
is anchor pictures on says on
20:25
post offices and has complex got
20:27
the other one. Who
20:29
did I miss? up? The fourth one
20:31
out know Marla know as a
20:33
mother he has anyone sit but.
20:36
He doesn't eat it is only three children he talks about
20:38
as it was sort. Of proving a point here. He
20:40
doesn't ever mention the other two. Insisting.
20:43
Tiffany that was Gabriel in our if
20:45
that was Cable In our area residents are
20:48
produce a big who Tiffany. The
20:51
fact we are going to talk.
20:54
A. Little bit about another story that's
20:56
coming out of the Us today
20:58
and that is what happens. On
21:00
the film set rust where
21:03
the amara Hundred Gutierrez has
21:05
just been hundred and eighteen
21:07
month sentence, the Bringing Live.
21:10
Rounds of ammunition on the set and
21:12
we have. Our. Own honor to
21:14
talk us through the rules here and then.
21:17
The News Agency Usa with Emily Majors
21:20
and June So for. The
21:25
News Agency Usa. I
21:30
remember vividly zoc shifting use
21:32
that came out of the
21:34
film Sets of Rust, the
21:37
star Alec Baldwin who's a
21:39
huge figure in Hollywood having
21:41
kill someone with a loaded
21:43
weapon on a film set
21:45
on all the questions that
21:48
arose from it. And yesterday
21:50
the wheels of Justice a
21:52
finally turned on the Amara
21:54
on the set Hundred Gutierrez
21:57
read being sentenced to eighteen
21:59
months. Because. What
22:01
she put in to the gun that
22:03
Alec Baldwin had to far as part
22:05
of the scene had live ammunition and
22:07
it. Not. Blanks. You
22:10
alone turned a safe weapons
22:12
into a lethal weapon. Please
22:14
take this. See was the
22:16
armor. In other words, See
22:18
is the one who has
22:20
legal responsibility for what is
22:22
happening on set. With the guns
22:24
with ammunition on it should always
22:26
be Sake right? It a film
22:28
like that he would only ever
22:30
have. Sake of Munitions on is
22:32
a merge. Yesterday from this trial
22:34
that she had some reason. That
22:36
will still not. Searles brought onto
22:39
that set live rounds of ammunition.
22:41
so. As he say, see got
22:43
eighteen months and there are many
22:45
who all mourning the death of
22:47
Selena Hutchins who is. The Director
22:50
who was killed on that fateful day
22:52
in October. Twenty Twenty one who. Feel
22:54
that this sentence has to
22:57
be served fully otherwise. It
22:59
is just a mockery of the whole trial. And
23:01
he was still pressing to see
23:03
Alec Baldwin go on to face
23:05
trial, which he will do in
23:07
July. I guess the question that
23:10
were asking is. Is this
23:12
has been laid so conclusively.
23:15
Ah, her seat that she brought her
23:17
medicine onto. The Set: Where does
23:19
this leave. The. Seats to trawl.
23:22
Of Alec Baldwin and. My
23:24
legs facing charges of involuntary manslaughter as
23:26
part of what happened because he pulled
23:29
the trigger on that fateful day. Yeah
23:31
he's facing a criminal trial of involuntary
23:33
manslaughter. On against the questions mobile here
23:35
from a friend Randy again on this
23:38
one the pushed to were asking is
23:40
does her conviction make his more line
23:42
or a tour doesn't exonerate him This
23:45
is what Randy had say. I
23:47
have been wrestling with that in
23:49
in those few moments that I'm
23:51
not thinking about that from trial,
23:54
and I am still torn as
23:56
to whether or not her conviction
23:58
seals Alec Baldwin's doom or or
24:00
conviction set him free. Because if
24:03
she's been found criminally responsible when
24:05
it comes down to, well, is
24:07
Alec Baldwin automatically infected and tainted
24:09
by that? Or does that exonerate
24:12
him? Because how the hell would
24:14
he be expected to know that?
24:16
this idiot. Put. Live rounds in
24:18
that gun. So we try to work
24:20
hills. How on earth he's
24:23
end up having live ammunition on a
24:25
set. Of a drama of a
24:27
film. in it was a western. You do
24:29
not need to bring bullets onto the set,
24:31
onto the stage and we thought we would
24:33
kind of cross check that. With an armor
24:35
A here in the Uk. Or would join
24:37
by know Parsons who works at
24:39
the Stoke Poses range and advises
24:41
filmmakers on how to do the
24:44
weapons. Seems that gunfight so or
24:46
whatever. A know it's great to
24:48
have you with us. I've I
24:50
suspect you would just astonished when
24:52
you heard about what happened on
24:54
the set of Rust. Cr.
24:56
Me de the it was really
24:58
terrible exists any accidents is a
25:01
terrible thing to happen the first
25:03
to be loss of laws and
25:05
boot just astounded about for lack
25:08
of safety the of the was
25:10
onset we didn't really understand one.
25:13
That was of a loaded gun on
25:15
Saddam is still be Uk are you?
25:17
There's no accessed from Innocence Bertha. Apart
25:19
from that that so weapons should have
25:22
been in the auspices of the Armor
25:24
or an assistant. All Brooks and List
25:26
of never left a weapon on it's
25:28
own little own. A weapon that was
25:31
loaded enough. I don't understand why the
25:33
weapon was loaded. Whoever picked up that
25:35
weapon. If I knew about guns the
25:37
first thing they would do is check
25:40
the condition of the com turkey for
25:42
com is. Safe if it's empty and if
25:44
it's more than coal the armor of lives
25:46
in charge of gonna say look this com
25:49
is not unsafe conditions please make it so
25:51
for need to take it on said. Would
25:53
you ever have live ammunition on
25:55
a set? The evil was he
25:57
on. No. Never. I mean. They
26:00
don't have access to live ammunition
26:02
you need of a licensed largely
26:04
going get like I'm sure, but
26:06
there's no reason to ever have
26:08
live ammunition on certain. And know
26:10
Phil moments of a had lied
26:12
on a mission on sets. I
26:15
mean even when we're doing shotguns
26:17
you know every shot gun is
26:19
checked and a said sets or
26:21
is blanks that are sort of
26:23
specifically made to give the effect
26:25
of the gun firing cause we
26:27
don't want a really loud bang.
26:29
We. Don't want to keep slaves. who
26:31
wants her a small flame and and
26:33
the banks of the people can react
26:35
to it? And I mean when we
26:38
did our the hunting seen only have
26:40
a principal actors had a slight amount
26:42
of powder in the cartridge is all
26:44
the rest were completely empty cartridges. We
26:46
just primacy and so they made a
26:48
little time. I think we need to
26:50
explain the hunting Seen on the connection
26:52
of one Emily made a sort of
26:54
is okay. Full Disclosure: So. No
26:57
Parsons and still poses. Range with
26:59
Bruce in As The Armor
27:01
as. For drama that
27:03
we're in the face of making
27:06
about the Prince Andrew interview. On
27:08
this involves. A shooting
27:10
scene essentially. and maybe we should
27:13
just remind our listeners and of
27:15
views of that point in the
27:17
interview where Prince Andrew makes it
27:19
very clear what he'd been doing
27:22
at the weekend. Amerasian the you
27:24
through a birthday party. And front
27:26
think of and Glenn Maxwell
27:28
at Sandringham. Nerves.
27:31
Decision Weekend As Susan we suspect
27:33
food, food, food using with him.
27:36
So know the status as I haven't
27:38
seen. this seems. That feels really
27:40
surreal to me, but take a
27:42
three. What happens? In that
27:44
bits in that moment where
27:47
you're preparing. For the
27:49
jews of Yolks ceasing
27:51
weekends. Well. Firstly we
27:53
have a number of shotguns as as
27:56
a law in the suit israel the
27:58
number for comes. Anybody
28:00
the sort of principle actor I'm play
28:03
have armrests with some the loaders in
28:05
inverted commas that you would have winner
28:07
and us in a hunting seems fair
28:09
actually. armouries that actually load the blinds
28:12
cases in Tv to suck on soaks
28:14
everybody took. the principal actors just had
28:16
empty shells were just primers and so
28:19
the little primus just went bang and
28:21
made a noise and a little bit
28:23
a smoker to be under the barrel
28:25
but they're completely empty shells just upon
28:28
said. The people playing in other ways.
28:30
The extras. Are actual armor? as
28:32
other the loaders of the
28:34
extras there actually are armrests.
28:36
A know I've got a
28:38
specific question for you because
28:40
it relates to what could
28:42
still unfolds with Alec Baldwin
28:44
who is facing an involuntary
28:47
manslaughter charge. How much direct
28:49
responsibility is that? Implicit or
28:51
explicit that the actor. Has
28:53
to check the weapon the he's taking charge
28:55
of because I said to me when I
28:58
heard it. Well for god's sake you know
29:00
Baldwin can't be blamed for this because how
29:02
was he to know that there was a
29:04
round in the barrel of the gun in.
29:07
A one percent every actor lot
29:09
of work with. I'm an apart
29:11
from the fact that we go
29:13
and so become clear and until
29:15
we actually have a tight all
29:17
guns for rehearsals are the robber
29:19
guns or plastic guns so I
29:21
would never have any. Ah
29:23
any real gums for a rehearsal
29:25
because during rehearsals we then never
29:27
point a gun at another actor
29:30
or actress. We always point of
29:32
thirty degrees off. So all that
29:34
who's practice to the rehearsal using
29:36
a robber or or or plastic
29:38
guns could is only one. Where
29:40
are we gonna do a tight
29:42
that we inform everybody and and
29:44
the crew nearby. Look here is
29:47
the gun. This is what we're
29:49
going to do. This is the
29:51
direction we're going to forth and.
29:53
The moment we load around into the
29:55
gun everyone is aware what's gonna happen.
29:57
The camera roles too fussy. we need
30:00
any type of gonna wait and then
30:02
because I want to consider hustle would
30:04
give him a a replica classic. Gonna
30:06
they continue the rehearsal for. It couldn't
30:08
be the actors fault then. Know Michael
30:10
Sheen with the Jews feel to mind. Is
30:13
as soon as he has finished that one shot,
30:15
the gun is taken away from him and it
30:17
would not be handed to him unless he had.
30:19
Already been checked for clear right?
30:21
Yes the com is fired You
30:23
him to the Constitution put the
30:25
next to cartridges in a new
30:27
pass it to him if he's
30:29
about to shoot birds coming overhead
30:31
and when the Beatles was just
30:34
the first overhead then you load
30:36
the gone. Past. The
30:38
gone over and have the second
30:40
com which virtually preparing to swap
30:42
over because if a number of
30:44
reasons com for they need to
30:46
far the presence while the rapidly
30:48
Agassi so fascinating settings as it's
30:50
quite complicated You also said a
30:52
moment ago the internet a point
30:54
the gun directly at another actor
30:56
oversee Baldwin pointed the gun directly
30:58
at the direct so he should
31:00
have never done that. He should
31:02
have never done this I'm and
31:04
enough to with his experience I
31:06
shouldn't be rehearsing. With a log
31:09
on and be sued. Never point
31:11
a gun at another after if
31:13
it's a robber gone. even if
31:15
it's a plastic gun you still
31:17
do not pointed at all director
31:20
because what you're actually rehearsing is
31:22
you. Pointing. A gun
31:24
at that person. When you gonna do
31:26
a tight and you say right the
31:28
gun I can't pointed out you becomes
31:30
going to be thirty degrees off you.
31:32
We put the camera at an angle
31:34
where it looks as if I'm pointing
31:36
out. but I'm I'm not pointing at
31:38
you. So it's that rehearsal was not
31:41
correctly done. A Summer has that short.
31:43
He should have been pointing thirty degrees
31:45
off and not directly earth for the
31:47
Opie and the Director. So. You can
31:49
see then why he's having to
31:51
stand trial. Just because from
31:53
what I understand the revolver that was
31:56
used was an eighteen onto the eighteen
31:58
sixties revolt and number one dollar been
32:00
pointing at anybody Number to the person's
32:03
the past him the revolver should have
32:05
shown him with on is clear and
32:07
if they didn't show him that honestly
32:10
he should have said show me the
32:12
gun is clear I'm not an all
32:14
I'm just an actor. Sherman Act On
32:17
is clear. Maybe was under
32:19
pressure whatever. know nobody will really knows
32:21
but what went on about moment but
32:23
he took the gun without getting the
32:25
person that handed him the gun to
32:27
show. it's clear another person hundred and
32:29
combos the armor which is something you
32:31
would never happen in this country. Nobody
32:33
else would touch a gun here unless
32:35
or an armor or known as assistant
32:37
and all a system. Farmers are checked
32:39
and vetted by the police and they
32:41
have their names to allow you to
32:43
be onset so you can't get any
32:45
would interfere with him of his most
32:47
recent have enough. A person's gonna be vetted
32:50
by the police to have a name that check
32:52
the mountains. Had yes they can be an assistant
32:54
Armor onset. Of
33:03
is really interesting and the
33:05
complexity of responsibility on. Her.
33:08
I mean obviously the first thing to say is.
33:11
We. Just had a different attitude towards guns
33:13
and live of to should have full stop
33:16
in this country. Competitive I say so American.
33:18
Aren't you know if you've got an open
33:20
carry law? A New Mexico where the shooting
33:22
happened is perfect. To Heidi one could have
33:24
hello.is analogous in the other thing. That.
33:27
Happened in the wake of
33:29
that shooting. Remember Alec Baldwin
33:31
had been the voice. Of.
33:33
Donald Trump impersonating him cruelly
33:35
hilariously on Saturday Night Live.
33:37
Every day I turn on
33:39
the news and all of
33:41
the newscasters are making me
33:43
look so bad. And
33:46
how are we doing that by taking
33:48
out of the things I say and
33:51
all of the things I do and
33:53
putting them on Tv? When this happened,
33:55
there was delight in Trump Land. About
33:58
it unfold. Trump Junior. Started
34:00
marketing t shirts. Which.
34:02
St. John's Don't Kill
34:04
People. Alec Baldwin Kills People.
34:08
I mean, it was perhaps
34:10
the most tasteless pieces caught
34:12
of wrestling. In.
34:14
The death of somebody. Because.
34:16
Alec Baldwin was involved and it was
34:18
a waste of posting Alec Baldwin back
34:20
in the eyes because Alec Baldwin posting
34:23
the his father. Yeah, I just horrifying.
34:25
I do think it's really interesting that
34:27
though I hadn't considered until Know explains
34:29
it and he picked up on it.
34:31
The idea: If you you never ever
34:33
go to settings right Axis? That's the
34:35
whole. Point: The magic of film is that you
34:38
can make things look like things that they are
34:40
not. So when you're pointing a gun, A.
34:42
Site gun with no I'm either since
34:44
it's. At an angle you don't
34:46
pointed out that some these had said that
34:49
I guess is the outstanding question. That.
34:51
I now understand much more clearly in this
34:53
case. Is why on earth it was
34:55
ever pointers. A desire to the
34:57
twelve year old John. So for when
34:59
he joined the Combined Cadet Course but
35:02
his boys Grammar School in North London
35:04
you know, And you'd go to the
35:06
range and you'd be given a Second
35:08
World War three oh, free rifle or
35:10
wherever it was you absolutely loved you.
35:12
never, ever, ever in any circumstance point
35:14
ago the anybody in that way and
35:16
what happened in Santa Fe on the
35:18
roof sit there still. Obviously a long
35:20
way to go on. this. The
35:24
News Agency Usa with Emily Majors.
35:27
And John Simple. The
35:31
News Agency Usa. Just.
35:34
Before we go some really interesting
35:36
stats coming out of the Us.
35:38
in in particular some the biggest
35:40
cities about the dramatic full there's
35:42
been. In. The murder rate
35:44
so far this year in Boston is
35:46
down eighty two percent In Philadelphia said
35:48
he suffered the same Miami's thirty three
35:50
percent a their zones on these figures.
35:53
Are very very good for Joe
35:55
Biden because of course one of
35:57
the great Trump attacks. Ease. The
36:00
crime has soared under the
36:02
Biden administration, and actually we're
36:05
seeing the biggest fool in
36:07
homicides. Since. The Obama era.
36:09
and I mean what we don't know
36:11
is whether this is just the reversion
36:13
to the mean as they would say
36:15
in statistical circles are you is just
36:17
go back to where it was because
36:19
it's when soaring out during cozied. A
36:22
Maybe it's just come back to a more normal
36:24
level. Of. Where the death rate is.
36:27
Yes, I mean we're trying to get
36:29
to the bus or it seems funny
36:31
in a way To do this is
36:33
a sort of in it as an
36:35
insanely because I think it definitely needs
36:37
a bit more work to understand what's
36:39
behind this, but essentially it sounds like
36:41
it's part of the tix in Boston
36:43
the violence prevention measures and that means
36:45
nothing more complicated than going into areas
36:48
sending law enforcement, police, or the rest
36:50
of it's into areas where they know.
36:52
That crime is most prevalent among those of this
36:54
a things lies at the door of the man
36:56
Michelle. Woo. Hoo pledged to curb homicides
36:58
and shootings and think that this day
37:00
said that she had so far into
37:02
his twenty four. Is those a community.
37:04
Policing and what she's done to actually
37:07
just get more visible people on the
37:09
streets. It's a sort of i suppose
37:11
it's it sounds sort of. Too.
37:13
Obvious in a way, but
37:16
particularly when the polls are
37:18
showing that this is a
37:20
top concern. full doses were
37:22
Republicans tend to have the
37:25
edge over democrats. The message.
37:27
That. Biden will be. Trying. To here
37:30
Now is how do we take this.
37:32
And actually make so People are listening.
37:34
Make sure that it counters model. Trump
37:37
will also be saying. It
37:39
incorrectly about it on the some workers
37:41
Donald Trump even in his era nord
37:43
recent speech and twenty six thing was
37:45
trying to paint a picture of the
37:47
United States as a health scape on
37:49
this does not fit into that at
37:51
all. And so if you've got big
37:53
numbers of homicides coming down in the
37:55
biggest cities in America, but it's something
37:57
that Biden is going to campaign harder
37:59
on on. Try to get a message out. Will.
38:01
Be back next week. We almost see that was
38:03
he then said i think. He.
38:07
has been a global. Their original
38:09
photos.
