Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
An hour or two Sean Hannity Show Gladual with US
eight hundred and ninety four one, Shawn, if you want
to be a part of the program. Friends and colleagues
of mine at the Fox News Channel, they've been going
through a lot lately. We lost one of our top
executive newspeople at forty seven years of age and he
had a heart attack. Great guy. We have a Fox

(00:21):
News meteorologist. He was literally pummeled by a group of
teenagers in New York City when he tried to stop
them from harassing another another subway riter straphanger as they
call them, on early Sunday, and they just beat the
crap out of them. I mean, it's unbelievable and it's sad,

(00:44):
but it's not the same when you have no bail
laws and you have defund dismantled the police, which is
what New York City has become. Yeah, they're setting record
crime every single year the last two years in a row.
This seems to be open season. My friend and colleague
Giano Caldwell, now he has a very unique story to tell.

(01:07):
His brother was murdered in Chicago. He sees what happens
to his little brother and He's like, I gotta get
my family out of here. I owe it to my
family to save them. And so he spends a fortune
and he packs up everybody in the family and they
moved to Florida, to the Miami area, and he was
asked to leave a restaurant in North Miami because quote

(01:31):
he was told as conservative views don't align with the
opinions of the holders of the restaurant. I think it's
called parodies, books and bread. In response, Giano said, this
situation reminds me of something that MLK said in nineteen
sixty three, a very simple truth. He said, injustice anywhere
is a threat to justice everywhere. And what I experienced

(01:52):
yesterday me and some of my neighbors, or I'm just
getting to know, is an injustice a grave injustice anyway.
He is a friend on top of everything else but
Fox News political analysts, and he joins us now, Jana,
I wrote you this weekend when I when I saw
this clip, and I'm like, I can't even believe what
I'm reading and seeing here, and it's just so sad

(02:12):
to me. You left Chicago after the death of your brother.
You've been very outspoken. It's changed your life you have
now you are now on a mission. I think it's
become a calling for you to save other people's lives.
In Chicago, you move down to a safer state by
every measure, and that's Florida. And then you go to
a restaurant. You kicked out of the restaurant. I'm like,
you gotta be kidding me. Yeah, Sean, I gotta tell

(02:34):
you that I am still shales shot based on what
happened this past Saturday, and it's taught me many things
since I had that experience. And that is one on
the left, and tolerance for some have become the norm,
not the exception on the left. That's what we're seeing.
If you disagree with them in any way ideologically, if

(02:58):
you believe in Conserva, the values, if you believe that
God is our leader and our guide, that's something that
upsets them. They dislike that. They despise that. They don't
want you in their presence. They don't want you in
their restaurant, they don't want your money. And I think
a lot of folks have gone on social media to
say exactly that. And I'll tell you what happened is

(03:21):
it was my first time getting together with this group
of individual as they live in my building. Two of
them do and they and by the way, the reason
you paid a lot of money, you know, and you
moved your entire family down there to get away from
the violence in Chicago. I want to be very clear,
after the death of your brother, you're an innocent victim

(03:41):
of this everyday violence in Chicago. Yes, my brother was
murdered on June twenty fourth in Chicago, and since then,
I moved, moved in my baby brother, and I'm also
moving some of my other family members as well, my
now youngest with a brother too. Yeah. That was a
major life change. And things are much better here in Florida,

(04:05):
in Miami than there are in Chicago or pretty much
anywhere else in the country per my experience. So I'm
thankful that I did. I'm blessed that I have the
opportunity to do so to what happened on Saturday, I'm
sitting meeting these folks, talking to these folks, and they're
just interested, They're intellectually curious. How are things it, Fox,
How do you like working there? Are you a conservative?

(04:28):
And I like it except as Hannity guys, a jackass.
I don't like him. No, no, no, And I'm gonna
tell you for the folks that are listening Sean Hannity,
I know you all listen to him every day on
the radio, you watch them on TV. I know it's
not but I'm gonna say it because what you did
for me means so much. And I have to tell

(04:48):
people this. This is one of the best human beings
you can ever be in your life. This is one
of the best human beings you can have the pleasure
of calling a friend. When my brother was murdered, you
had been there for me NonStop since June last year.
We didn't have a relationship before. I've been on your
radio program or your TV program, but since then, just

(05:10):
guiding me, advising me, no matter at the time or day,
always available And I cannot thank you enough. I thank you.
I think I appreciate your friendship to me and getting
to know you. It has been an honor for me.
So this this isn't about me, and it breaks my heart. Look, JOHNO,
I told you this in a note over the weekend.

(05:31):
I said, I've had this experience that you went through,
but it doesn't bother me anymore. I've been doing this
too long. It makes me so angry though, when it
happens to a friend rather than when it happens to me.
I don't know why it makes me angry because I
feel like I've signed up for this. I give strong opinions.
But what was so bad that you were talking about

(05:54):
at this at this lunch? And that was and that
was it? John, I'm They said, hey, are you a conservative?
I've said, in fact, I am. I have a book
out call taken for granted, how conservatism can win back
to the Americans that liberal Lizzle Feld, and I encouraged
them to get the book. I begin to talk to
them about my brother. Is that my brother was murdered
on June twenty fourth in Chicago. I'm thankful for Fox

(06:14):
for giving me the platform to try to get justice
for him and other families. I mentioned how I was
in dB the week before, meeting with members of Congress
on Capitol Hill, talking to them about my brother and
other victims of violent crime in America. How they want
me to really get involved, to be the voice for victims.
These are the things that we were talking about. I
talked about progressive das, how they're exacerbating the issue of

(06:36):
crime with these soft on crime policies. Those are the
things that made them so upset that the owner then
came up to the table and said to us, I've
been listening to your conversation. I don't like it. You
are not welcomed here. And I said, oh my gosh,
I said, I do. Did I say something that triggered you?
Because I'm the only one that had been alluding to
my politics and talking about it. They just listen. She said, no,

(07:00):
our politics just don't align. I'm the owner here. I
don't feel comfortable. You have to leave. I stood up
on the table and walked right out, and they walked
behind me. This is not this shouldn't be the case
in anywhere in the country. Let along in Florida. There's
some people. A person would have the gall to put
me out because I don't put It shouldn't happen anywhere. Giano.

(07:22):
And here's the thing, you know, and I said this
even at the time that remember the birthday cake controversy.
I'm like, somebody wants a birthday or a wedding cake,
I'm making them the cake. These people need to you know,
if I'm in business, I don't care if you're a
liberal or Conservative, Republican, Democrat, independent, libertarian. I want you
in my place, and I want to do the most
business I can do. How stupid on their part, but

(07:45):
it's I mean, was the restaurant like reacting to it?
Was there any other There was no reaction. It was
literally us sitting at a table having a conversation. There
were people other people in the restaurant, but no one
came up and said, I don't like what you all
are talking about. We weren't crazy loud, we weren't loud
at all. We had a conversation amongst ourselves, but this

(08:07):
lady continued looking at me. And as you know, being
a public figure, I'm always looking around the room because
somebody could be taping, recording, or even trying to come
to attack, so I don't know. So I'm always looking
around and a lady continue to give me nasty look
throughout the entire time that we were there. But I
didn't expect to know that I would get this kind
of response by saying, yes, I'm a conservative, I have

(08:29):
a book taking for granted, pick it up. I didn't
think that people would that this owner would take such
a fense to see a black man talking about conservatism
and an offensive so much that she has to keep
me out of a restaurant. This, I believe Sean is
a microcuse him of a larger issue in America. There
is an attack on freedom of speech, and there's absolutely

(08:50):
attack on conservatism, and especially if you choose to be
a black person and being conservative in this country, there's
a lot of people who will not like it, and
there will be a target. You're back. I know that.
I realized it, and I saw it up close and personal.
On Saturday, Quick Break more with Giano Calwell's new book,
Taken for Granted, How Conservatism can win back the Americans

(09:11):
that liberalism failed. Listen, if you believe in the sanctity
of life, there's an incredible new group I want to
tell you about. It's called Preborn. They don't get a
penny from the federal government and they're using science, the
science of ultrasound to save babies lives. Every day. Preborn
is able to rescue one hundred and fifty babies. And
the way they do it through science and the especially

(09:34):
ultrasounds today, I mean you can see, you know, the
features of a baby's face and their fingers and toes,
and you hear the heartbeat, and when people see that science,
the majority of the time they choose life. They're dependent
on you totally, no government money whatsoever. They're asking the
pro life community people to believe in the sanctity of life.

(09:57):
It's twenty eight dollars per ultrasound and you can rescue
a baby's life, or one hundred and forty thousand can
save five lives. You can sponsor that if you have it,
whatever it is. Their goal is ultimately to save one
hundred thousand babies lives through science. Anyway, it's a great group.
I'm gonna I'm participating soon as well. Just dial pound

(10:18):
two fifty, say the keyword baby, pound two fifty, keyword baby,
and put your principles, you know, on the line here
for a great cause. All of your money goes straight
to the work that they do, one hundred percent tax deductible.
They have a website also preborn dot com slash on.
All right, you continue with my friend from Fox, Giano

(10:40):
Caldwell as well. Let's Taken for Granted is his book,
How Conservatism Can Win back the Americans that liberalism has failed.
Amazon dot com, Hannity dot com, bookstores everywhere. I want
people to know about you in this book, and your
book has taken off. We have, by the way, it's
linked on Amazon dot com, Hannity dot com, bookstores everywhere,
taken for branded how conservatism can win back the Americans

(11:03):
that liberals failed. You did not exactly have an ideal
life with a silver spoon in your mouth. Uh. You
know when I found out you were born to your mom,
and your mom was consumed by drugs, and you were
raised by your grandmother. You were raised in poverty on
the South side of Chicago. You have witnessed more growing

(11:26):
up than most people ever seen ten lifetimes. And then
it impacts you directly by the loss of your brother.
And I remember those early conversations we had about this
and how broken hearted you were, but how you you
resolved in your heart to try to save other people's lives.

(11:46):
And you have done a lot of work. Not only
have you gone to Congress, You've met with John Walsh.
John Walsh has supported your efforts. You have put pressure
on the police department that has not at all times
been cooperative and helpful. It's a disc race and all
these we know how to prevent death. Rudy Giuliani showed
us the way in New York. They could do the
same thing in Chicago. You know, I run these names

(12:09):
and scroll these names. Nobody seems to give a damn Gianno. Yeah, Now,
I absolutely agree. They could change their dynamic and Marist
race next month, and I'm hoping that Chicago ones will
make a better decision as to who to lead them,
especially a mayor who's about law and order, because that's
what we absolutely need in the city of Chicago, in

(12:30):
Illinois and in this country overall. In Chicago, crime is
up over overall, over forty percent. That is not okay.
You're seeing countless people who are being murdered, black bodies
literally being littered in the streets of Chicago. This is
absolutely unacceptable. And as you mentioned when you talk about
my book Taking for Granted and how Conservatism can win
back to the Americans that liberalism failed, I wrote that

(12:53):
book especially to give a testament to what God can
do in any challenging situation. Yes, I grew up extremely
poor life and gas and water off at the same time,
Mom added to crack cocaine. But despite all of that,
despite all of that, I've needed to where I am
today is because Godhead is hand on me continuously. He

(13:13):
favored me. I rolled up my sleeve and I did
a lot of the hard work starting at age fourteen
when I got in politics. But I cannot, I cannot
say it enough that no matter how bad a situation
can be in anyone's life, God can come in and
change the entire landscape and clean you up to the
point that people will never know what happened to you

(13:34):
in your life. And I want to commit that to
people today. If you're you're looking for a way out
of whatever situation you're in you're in, go to God.
You'll have your answer for you every time. Amen. I
there are two things that have kept me saying in
my life. The fact that I grew up in a
working family and my parents work constantly. You know, you

(13:56):
know my family background, and I work constantly from being
a paperboy at eight, in a dishwasher every Friday, Saturday,
Sunday night at twelve, and then a cook and all
these jobs I tell people about. But the more important
thing is, you know, what are you thinking about in
terms of how to deal with this? Do you just
walk away from this? I know you've made a public

(14:17):
I'm glad people now Miami know about this place. I
know and know what went on there. We're going to
try and get the owner of this restaurant to come
on and explain himself, because I think that's outrageous what
they did to you. Would that would absolutely be good.
And I'll tell you what am I thinking about. I'm

(14:38):
gonna let God lead the way as I should always
in any situation like this. I've been looking at my
social media accounts at Giano Caldwell for anyone who may
be interested, and seeing the comments, the love, the support
from the viewers, our viewers over the Fox News channel,
and just Americans across the country who may not even
be conservatives. Maybe they're Democrats, maybe they're independent to whatever,

(15:01):
but they know that wrong is wrong, and as Martin
Luther King, King said, injustice anywhere as a threat to
justice everywhere. If it would have been a conservative owner
of a restaurant and some folks came in and they
were they happen to be liberal, that would be wrong
to put them out too so long that they're not
disturbing or interrupting anyone, and we weren't doing that. We
were respectful. That's why I even ask you did I

(15:22):
say something that triggered you? Because I want to be
respectful of your space and what you own. But they
weren't respectful of me. They didn't think that I should
even be allowed be allowed to have my beleases to
my ideology. Who are you to think you can be
a black conservative? How dare you? You got to get
out of our space? This should never happen. And what
I do for it, I'm gonna talk about on social media,

(15:44):
but God will certainly be in the plans and leading
the way. The one thing I can tell you is
your life, as in many ways, out of such tragedy,
now taken on a purpose that is beyond inspiring. I
want to remind people about your book, it's called Take
for Granted, How conservatism can win back the Americans that
liberalism failed. Gianno Calwell, we're gonna have more on Hannity tonight.

(16:08):
We're trying to get the owner of this restaurant to
come on and explain himself with you and maybe talk
it out with you. So we'll see you tonight on TV.
I love you, You're a good man. I'm proud of you.
I'm so sorry about all the pain that you've been through.
In the last year. And you know you always have
an open MinC heare on this show and a camera

(16:29):
on my TV show anytime you want it. I love
you too, big brother. Thank you so much. Looking forward
to seeing you tonight. All right, my friend, thank you,
Gianno callwell take him for granted. How conservatism can win
back the Americans that liberalism failed. Amazon dot com, Hannity
dot com, bookstores, everywhere, all right, twenty five to the
top of the hour. Thank you for being with us.
Eight hundred nine f one sean our number if you

(16:49):
want to be a part of the program. So now
we have five separate locations where Biden documents have shown up,
and it's kind of amazing to watch the Democrats and
they're now turning on Biden. It may go to my
original theory. If you remember when this story first broke,
and it was one place and two places, I said,

(17:11):
the timing he is suspicious, especially with the new Congress,
the investigations by Judiciary and Jim Jordan, especially on the
FBI being politicized, the dj weaponized, and then of course
Jim Collmer and the House Oversight Committee his investigation in
the Biden family syndicate. It seemed a little too convenient
for me, and they didn't do a full on raid

(17:32):
like they did Mara Lago. But Justice Department officials were
brought in this weekend. But that, you know, watching the
Democrats evolved turn into Pretzel's some outright turning on Biden
is very interesting to me. Listen to our little montage.
President Biden's lawyers revealed that documents more classified were found
in office space that he used as a private citizen.
This morning, ABC News has learned classified documents from President

(17:57):
Biden's time as Vice president had been sound at an
office he no longer uses. The White House revealed this
weekend additional pages of classified documents were discovered inside the
President's Delaware home. That search was completed last night, and
now this is in the hands of the Justice Department.
You should assume that it's been completed. Yes, White they

(18:20):
completed the search with documents being found last night, and
we retire into President Biden's handling of items marked classified.
Even more were found in President Biden's house in Wilmington, Delaware,
after the President's lawyers invited the FBI to search it
on Friday. Some of those materials date back to mister
Biden's Senate days more than fourteen years ago. When you

(18:41):
saw the photograph of the top secret documents laid out
on the floor of Marlago, what do you think to
yourself looking at that image, aw that could possibly happened?
Why anyone could be ver irresponsible and just coldly irresponsible?
Presidents Journey says. The latest batch amounts to six more

(19:02):
items with classification marketings for now a total of between
twenty five and thirty documents. I'm going to sign of
how this investigation may continue to stretch out, a source
familiar with the protel CBS News investigators are considering searching
other locations, were full of cooperating're looking forward to getting
this resolve quickly. I think you're gonna find there's nothing there.

(19:24):
I have no regrets that are following what their lawyers
have told me they want me to do. It's exactly
what we're doing. There's no there there. I just love
Carmina Burana, the music. It just sounds like it just
is perfect for the moment. Let's put it that way.
I gotta remind you about protecting your home ownership. What

(19:48):
does that mean? Every year of home title theft? Well
guess what's happening. Criminals around the world are targeting American
homeowners just like you and your home's title, that is
the document that proves you own your home. That document
is very easily found online. These thieves will simply forge
your signature on a legal document claiming, hey, you sold

(20:08):
them your home even though you didn't, and they'll take
out loans on your home. They disappear and you get hit.
You may not know until you get hit with a
late payment or foreclosure notice. That's why I protect my
home with Home title Lock. Homeowners insurance many common identity
theft programs, they don't protect you on this issue of
home title lock. Home title Lock does now. If you

(20:30):
go to their website hometitlelock dot com slash sean to
protect yourself, they will verify your home's title is still
safely in your name. You can register your address for
free no obligation and home title report and you'll get
a home title report for your files. They'll give it
to you. It's a one hundred dollar value, absolutely free,
so check them out on the web. Home title Lock

(20:51):
one word dot com, slash sean, home title lock dot
com slash sean Eugene and Florida, the Free State of Florida.
What's going on, sir. I'm a little astounded at the
commotion being made about Biden having these documents. It appears
to me that nobody in government knows who has these documents,

(21:12):
where they're at, how they're stored, what agency and the
government's responsible for classifying and making sure that they're in
safe hands, That they know exactly where they're at, where
they're being stored, how they're being stored, who looks at them.
It seems like this is only the tip of the
iceberg of the documents situation in government. And it's scary
that we have all these loose documents lying around where

(21:35):
anybody and his brother could get at them, and who
knows what they would do with them. You know, the
fact that they're the Biden's lawyers notified people that these
documents existed is a credit to them, because they could
have easily just destroyed them, just like Hillary Clinton did.
I mean, this is outrageous that the government has lost
track of these sensitive documents. Look, the only thing I

(21:57):
could tell you is what I know, and this is
happened now. Hillary's was far more deliberate, the deletion of
thirty three thousand emails, bleach bit hammers, destroying devices, removal
of simcards, etc. That was all deliberate. The sheer volume
of classified top secret materials on her server were enormous,

(22:19):
and that was more cynical. Now when a president leaves office. Now,
Donald Trump as president had the ability to declassify anything
he wanted to declassified. There is no set process to
do such, and people made fun of an interview I
had with him. He said, I could think about, all right,
these are declassified. That's declassified, and it's done. There's nothing

(22:40):
specifically laid out in the law that he had to
do or anybody that he had to tell. But putting
all that aside, you know they had access to Mara Lago.
How do we know because the FBI was in the
room where ultimately when they rated mar Lago the documents were.
And that's the same room that the FBI, after they
were in the room, saw the rule. So what was

(23:00):
in the room asked for a padlock to be put
on the door. Now all they had to do is
asked to take them that they're classified. We really need
to bring them back to the National Archives that they
would that would have happened. Now in the case of
Donald Trump, going further on his own, he hired a
firm that thoroughly searched every single residence to make sure
that there were no more documents. The Justice Department the

(23:23):
FBI were invited to go on that search with them,
and they turned it down. But in the case of Biden,
he gets special treatment. One day, I'll tell you about
Trump is Donald Trump did not pack a box. I
can promise you that part number two I doubt very highly.
I just there's no way the guy that I know
was spending any time ever looking at boxes that were

(23:47):
brought back from the White House in some storage unit
at Marlago. Now, should they have a better system, Yeah,
the National Archives and Records Association administration. Rather, they should
be themselves more responsible. They're now going to be investigated
because it appears to be run by a bunch of
people that are hardcore leftists, just like everything else in

(24:08):
the deep state. So we'll get to the bottom of it.
The fact that every Democrat went so hard against against
Donald Trump on this, Dick Derby even had to admit,
did Joe lose the high ground? Now? Yeah, he lost
the high ground because he was so quick to judge
and ah, how did this up? It's fusile. How so
you know, Joey, now we have you know, five separate

(24:30):
occasions and you know the Justice Department, Well we invited
them in. So did Trump invite them in and had
an unfettered access. That's why they put the padlock on
because they wanted it anyway, Eugene, good call, my friend,
appreciate it. Let's say, hi, Sam Larida, how are you
glad you called? How are you? How are you doing?
I'm good? How are you all right? Thank you for
doing what you're doing. You're doing very well. We appreciate you.

(24:54):
Don't have a change. I have a question which I
was discussing with with a couple of friends, and then
we were watching Fox News and until we saw Kareean
Jean Pierre or AKA or refer you to someone else?
The question, the question that we were discussing was that

(25:16):
the Republicans want to do away with Social Security and
with Medicare, and I wanted to just to know what
to take us on that. So every election year, and
it happened this past mid term, and it happens every
election year, Democrats lie and try to scare old people

(25:37):
into thinking their lives are true. And the big lies
usually are Republicans are going to take away your social security,
your medicare. Republicans are racist and sexist, misogynist and homophobic, xenophobic,
is lomophobic, transphobic. They want dirty air and water, and
they want grandma and grandpa to die. And some Republican,

(26:00):
you know, prominent Republican look alike, will take granny and
grandpa in a wheelchair and throw him over a cliff.
That's there. That's their standard playbook. They use fear and
lies to win elections. It's dishonest, and the reason they
keep doing it is because unfortunately, not everybody listens to
talk radio or watches Fox News. It's really that simple.

(26:22):
It's sad, but that is the reality. Yes, uh yeah,
that's where That's what I thought, and that's where I
span and a lot of people are I guess missing forms.
But anyway, thank you very much for performing what I thought.
And uh, like I said, thank you keep doing what
you're doing. We need more people like you. Uh God

(26:43):
bless you, God bless you too. Sam appreciate it all right,
quick break right back to our phones. Eight hundred and
nine for one seawn our number Mike Pompeo at the
top of the hour. As we continue, I will be
joined by our friend Mike Pompeo at the top of
the hour. He's got great insights in his new book,
Never Give An Inch Fighting for the American America. I
love that's coming up. We'll get back to our phone

(27:04):
zone in the meantime. Chris is in Pennsylvania. Chris, glad
you called, sir. How are you happy Monday? Hey? Thanks, So,
I'm glad to talk to you, Michel, and I wanted
to talk to you a moment about Alec Baldwin and
the comments he made. Now, don't get me wrong, I
have no love for Alec Baldwin at all the way
nobody does. But go ahead, maybe his wife and kids.

(27:25):
I don't know me, but I've spent many, many, many years.
I've done Cowboy action shooting. I've done Cowboy mounted shooting.
And for those student don't know what that is, it's
essentially where you take the single action colt and you
pretend you're a gun fighter for the day and you
shoot paper targets, balloons or whatever. So I'm very familiar

(27:45):
with with that firelarm. Now, he made the comment that
he didn't pull the trigger, and I'd heard through the
great vine that excuse me, that it was possible he
had his finger on the trigger. Now, no, that firelarm
like I do. That is entirely possible. When when you
train with that firelarm to become proficient in that sport,

(28:09):
you're you're essentially you're pulling back the hammer as you're
drawing the firelarm, and the waste designed it's very easy
for your finger to go right on that trigger and
you don't even know it. Well, I'm familiar with the
firearm number one. You're right, it's a single action and
you draw back the hammer and by the way, if
you let go of it, it could fire the weapon.

(28:30):
That would be one scenario. But he was very specific
and saying I didn't pull the trigger. He said, I
did not pull the trigger. Now, let's say I'm assuming
when he says that is I didn't pull the trigger
and I didn't pull back the hammer. I mean because otherwise, look,
if you drop that gun, that gun is not going

(28:50):
to go off. That I can see. Maybe maybe you
see it differently than me, but these you know, even
guns back in the day. You know, if you drop them,
they don't go off. Usually that doesn't happen. But he
had it in his hand and he's saying I didn't
shoot it. Well, then firearm does not fire itself. Some
action had to be taken for that, for that firearm

(29:13):
to release that round. Absolutely, Um. I mean, like like
I said, when he had to have pulled the hammer back,
there's no question about that. Um. Now, did he pull
the hammer back and his finger was on the trigger
without him knowing? It's possible, likely, probably not. That's for
a jury to decide. But if that did happen, you know,

(29:34):
then you know it's a trash goats. However, but by
the way, involuntary manslaughter does not include the word intent.
You don't you don't want to do it, you don't
plan to do it, You just do it. Because in
this case, you know, number one, he has a leading
role in terms of the film management, on top of
being the lead actor in the movie. So and there

(29:56):
were reports of other incidents that it occurred on the
set that we haven't gotten all the full details of.
And then you have the armor of there, and then
you have you know, they're supposed to be checks and balances.
You know. Look, I'm not a George Clooney fan either,
but George Clooney said, anytime I'm handed a weapon on
a set, I check it myself, which by the way,
I would do based on my firearm safety training from

(30:19):
when since I've been ten eleven years old. Absolutely absolutely,
I mean the glaring question is how how did a
live round get on the set number one? Why was
it there? And someone's had to load that weapon. So
and it's very, very difficult to believe that someone who
has any knowledge in in mistake a live round for

(30:41):
a blank round. There's glaring differences. It would be for
me impossible. And I'm a pistol marksman. However, I'm not
an ammunition expert. I know guys that make their own ammunition.
Maybe you do as well. I don't know, yes, sir,
I don't. I don't go that deep into it. When

(31:02):
my weapon needs to be cleaned, I have professionals cleaned.
I bring it to, you know, a gunsmith, and they
take care of it and people that I know that
will do a better job, and they are really good
at it and they do it every day. So it's
just not my area of interest, and I really can't
fire a firearm. Thanks to mantis X, now I can

(31:24):
again practice and be proficient in the safety and use
of my firearm. But you know, I've I've just lost
too much of my hearing with eight you know, being
on radio since nineteen eighty seven. But you know, this
is a yeah, it was an accident. I don't think
he went to work that day to kill a cinematographer.
And however, there is a responsibility of everybody on that set.

(31:47):
There shouldn't have been live rounds. There A who put
that live round in that weapon? B He's saying he
didn't pull the trigger. Makes no sense to me. Somebody
had to take an action for that fire arm to
go off the way it did. The fact that it
was a live round, you know, it's it's I don't
have the answers. This trial is going to be interesting. Now.

(32:08):
The jury will have two options in this case. One
will be involuntary manslaughter. That's on the first case, eighteen
months maximum sentence. The second one is if a firearm
used it involuntary manslaughter that's five year mandatory minimum sentence.
So that's what he's looking at right now. And if

(32:30):
I was his lawyers, the fact that even mark Ergo
said this Friday night on TV, I wouldn't let him
go on George Stefanopolos so make any public comments, and
he should have kept his big fat mouth shut. But
of course Alec Baldwin be got Alec. You know, I
doubt anybody can control this idiot. Anyway, I appreciate the call,
my friend, God bless you have a great week,
