learned. also, an expert legal panel standing by, geraldo rivera, brian claire pool and mark geragos, a lot who have a lot of experience with celebrity cases such as these. the d.a., mary carmack says that the set played fast and loose with safety. that she absolutely believes that alec baldwin pulled the trigger that fateful day. something that the actor when he spoke out about the case shortly after it happened denied. watch this. it wasn t in the script for the trigger to be pulled. the trigger was and pulled. i didn t pull the trigger. you never pulled the trigger? no, no, no. i would never point a gun and pull a trigger, never. martha: they ll go back to that time and time again here. baldwin, gutierrez reed and david halls, the assistant director, who signed a plea agreement. did not do their jobs that day says this special prosecutor. if they had, helena hutchins would be alive today. let s bring in judge jeanine pirro that just spoke with the d.a. grea
they should have never cut a deal with david halls. he s as culpable as anybody. he didn t even look in that gun. he admitted that to the investigators. then he declares it s cold to baldwin, which might explain why baldwin doesn t look at it. why is that important at trial? to mark s point about baldwin s defense is going to be i m going to blame everybody else. he s going to blame halls and he s going to his lawyers, martha, are going to subpoena halls in to testify and they re going to cross examine him until the cows come home. as if halls remained in the case and they didn t cut a plea deal, he could have remained silent. so i think that this throws a bone to baldwin s defense and really going after halls at trial. martha: i get what you re saying. in terms of job description, you look at halls. he s the person that handed the gun over and said cold gun. that s what they re supposed to
got to have talent. and it s quite clear mr. baldwin doesn t have talent to do radio. it is a tough job. you ve done it for some thirty years and done a great job. but let me tell you both, alec baldwin s wife and will smith or on an apology tour, not because they want to because they re losing money. they re persona non grata, their egos are bruised. and if you think about it, why now? you know, when will smith got slapped chris rock for twenty four hours, he was party enough. everybody was happy. but alec baldwin responsible for the wrongful death of a director on his set. i m telling you right now these guys are only motivated by his wife and by will smith because of the economic loss they are suffering. and i got news for you. there s no recovery for both of them. you know, carly, i agree with leo on that part, especially for will smith. i think will probably is taking a hit. no pun intended in terms of acting opportunities.
this business, they said don t take a gun and go click, click, click. you implement the firing of the gun. don t do that. reporter: baldwin doesn t blame himself for what happened. he said he believed the weapon was safe. he did not typically check the guns for safety himself. saying, quote, an actor s responsibility is to do what the prop armorer tells them to do. he stressed multiple times he once answered how a live round ended up on the set. take a listen. the there s only one question, where did the live round come from. someone put a live round in the gun, a bullet that wasn t even supposed to be in the property. where did that bullet come from? somebody brought live rounds, plural, onto the set of the film, and one of them ended up in that gun. reporter: now, baldwin also attacked the two people who have filed civil lawsuits so far. those are script supervisor mammie mitchell and the chief lighting technician. he said he found it unsettling
and i m always prepared to vote. and to vote for what s right for the interests of arizona. i personally believe that the best way to create legislation is to be thoughtful and careful so that we re crafting legislation that truly represents the interests that we want to achieve, and that creates a benefit and helps people all across arizona and the country. so that s what i m working on right now. so it doesn t sound like you re quite a yes yet on the version that just passed the house of representatives. what changes do you want to make? well, folks know i don t negotiate in the press. i m not going to do that with you. senator sinema along with another holdout, west virginia senator joe manchin, now have significant influence to shape the legislation as democrats cannot afford to lose a single vote from their 50-member caucus to pass this social safety net expansion. great exclusive from lauren fox. great job. reminds you how narrow the majority is for the democrats. new r
