Alec Baldwin Didn't Pull The Trigger 

I love how they had the balls to ask him if this is the worst thing that ever happened to "HIM" on a movie set. What about the lady that was actually killed?!

Didn't Alec cross state lines? Yes, he crossed state lines. HE CROSSED STATE LINES!!!!!!

well unlike the Covid Vaccine he didn't have to take 3 shots...

You can't ever believe an actor or actress.

Baldwin is so proud of not knowing anything about gun safety by being one of those people who think the only way to be safe with a gun is to not own one.

His saying he didn't pull the trigger so he can Blaim the gun itself, classic liberal

14:25 _"Is this the worst thing that ever happened to you?"_ _"Well, see, there was this one time, my daughter wasn't picking up the phone when she was supposed to . . . boy, was I mad! I don't think you can top that. But I gave that little piggie a chewing for the books, so it's all good 👌"_

Alec didn’t pull the trigger in the same way his buddy Bill didn’t inhale and “did not have sexual relations with that woman.”

If Baldwin hadn't pulled the trigger that would have been his story from day #1. Seems like him and his team have crafted a story designed to create "a reasonable doubt".

Little George Steph is a good friend of Alec’s. This is a interview with softballs from someone close to the shooter

Like Ant said it would be funny if Stephanopoulos was wearing a bulletproof vest during the interview

He is completely responsible for this. Made it all about him didn't he.

Just remember, that the same leftists who will believe Alec is really crying and being emotional, are the same people who mock and scrutinize a 17-year old having a panic attack after reliving the night that he had to kill two people in self-defense.

Anthony did a great job breaking down the mechanisms involved in the discharge process of revolvers. Conversely, the anti 2A zealots in the media can't even take the time to understand the difference between a magazine and a clip or a semi-automatic and a fully automatic firearm.

You didn’t pull the trigger? You didn’t check the gun first after many years of experience with guns on the sets of movies you have done. I guess it loaded itself with live rounds then pointed itself at two staff on set then shot killing one. Arrest that gun.

Funny how not only did he "not pull the trigger," but didn't pull the trigger on a gun that he wasn't supposed to be using that day of filming with a live bullet in the gun that should have never been on set for any reason ever... and obviously WAS pointing the gun at people... which you're also not supposed to do. Literally sounds like when a 8 year old is telling a lie

They were sooo close to asking him "so with all that aside, tell us about this new movie you're filming?"

"I didn't pull the trigger. I just pointed it directly at a woman, it went off by itself and killed her, but it's not my fault cause I'm Alec Baldwin."

I can't even imagine if I was that womans family and watching this disgusting spectacle that Baldwin, Stephanopoulos and ABC News are putting on. It is truly disgusting and pretty much evil to turn her death into a ratings driver. Just makes me sick to my stomach.

He shot 2 people with one bullet from a Handgun and killed one. thats 25O XP points and a challenge unlocked on Warzone,

_"She said I was fat . . . well, she's not saying it anymore."_

He pulled the trigger

Maybe OJ’s friend Charlie was the one who pulled the trigger.

He pointed a loaded gun at a person. The gun was in his hands meaning what came out of that gun and everything that it struck is on him because he didn’t respect the lethality of that “prop”. It was 100% preventable by him.

Yea. He was holding it though, right. Ok. He did point it at her, right. Ok. Ok....

You forgot to mention that Rob Reiner is also a MEATHEAD.

That interview is Alec’s best work. Award deserving. I nearly believed it.

The Baldwin promo is so sickening! Absolutely shameless.

_"They said I would miss her . . . I never miss at close range."_

As a fellah that knows nothing about guns, you've just given the clearest explanation that I've seen about what might have happened without the trigger being used.

He paid the sheriff but he did not pay the deputy. Edit: I thought Alec was a better actor, oh wow he covered his eyes with his hands how authentic.

Nice to have an explanation from someone who actually knows about guns instead of listening to idiots in the media, facebook, Twitter

OMG literally NO ONE who hasn't been around a gun in their lifetime will understand this shit at trial. Very good job with this, Ant.

It's the worst thing to ever happen to Alec Baldwin, but I imagine it's pretty high on the list of bad things that ever happened to her too...

Ant is the greatest!

That's to bad Opie & Anthony could not bounce back like Alec Baldwin.

I haven't looked into it yet so take this with a grain of salt, but the rumor is, the woman he shot was somehow involved with that Gislaine Maxwell braud.

Quite sure Alec knew exactly what he was doing.

We live in sick times and this is just beyond f'ed up

Put that pistol down...... Pistols are for closers only

The gun explanation regarding the old revolver versus the modern revolver was excellent

When Alex Baldwin said he didn't pull the trigger I started laughing because the first thing that came to my mind was South Park's Cartman rap I was not the bullet.

Ant's dad's friends taught him everything he needed to know about gun safety when they accidentally shot one of their kids. Drunk Guineas. Good times though.

He pointed the gun, pulled the trigger and shot someone. Those are the facts.

Awec Bawdwin should just pretend he's a woman like Bruce did, he'll just get away with it. Then again, he's just gonna get away with it anyway.

"Everything is a show" Yes. More than Ant can imagine. 😂

How to save a career by Anthony Cumia, who when they again and again tried to take his career away, steered right into it and staid true to himself. Much love you legend.

13:37 - *"...you described it as a one in a trillion shot..."* *Uhm...no a one in a trillion shot would be if the bullet ricocheted 5 times, went through the same wound all 5 times, and then somehow ended up on the dark side of the moon.*

How long before he gets a Roman Polandski standing ovation at the Oscars?

excellence in broadcasting Ant. informative without pandering , knowledgeable without being didactic.. top notch.

Since they were "shooting a scene", wouldn't there be footage of this?

The acting is fkng obvious. “Oh no, no, no, no, no. I’d never pull a gun and point it at someone. Never” 🙄

I thought Rob Schneider was a Stapler? *LOL*

13:21 When Ant said that, it's like something out of a South Park episode

Ant showed great trigger discipline in this clip, he must have said “trigger” 30 times and didn’t once slip and say his favorite word!

This is so theatrical, it will end up in his IMDB credits

I loved when they were trying to interview Alec about this, the interviewer says "George Clooney says he always double checks his weapon props just to make sure stuff like this doesn't happen" and Alec just blankly looks an goes "well good for George"

Did he point it at her? That's good enough for a jury.

Billy's not looking like the dumb Baldwin anymore. Ants seem an accidental shooting or two

Seriously what a great job of explaining this. Ants the man.

What got me was him saying he had no idea the gun actually fired a bullet till hours later when then detectives told him she was hit with a bullet. I've fired 45s and there's no way one of those goes off in your hand without you knowing about it. Recoil and sound

His lawyer told him to say he didn't pull it so that an explanation like the one anthony is giving could be used in court.

Im sick of these ZERO accountability types. Fine, you didn't actually PULL the trigger. But you thumbed the hammer, which is what pulling the trigger effectively does. YOUR interaction with the weapon KILLED her. It didn't go off on its own. Stop your disgusting scapegoating and face the music.

Nice to listen to Anthony explain firearms & how they work, most people know weapons from video games! It's sad to see the mainstream media play up this tragedy, I don't like Alex B but he's speaking out because of all the hearsay & disinformation on social media, nothing but lies!

Great points! I didn't even think of that quarter cocking or the style of firearm and you hit the nail on the head there. Thanks for giving us more to think about

1/8 cocked wouldnt hit the primer hard enough. Might work in court though.

IT'S ALL ABOUT ALEC a woman is dead and her family is torn apart but ALEC gets to cry and weep on camera while George Stephanopoulos gets to stroke his ego as dramatic, Hollywood-trailer style music plays in the background... for a dead woman and her grieving family... our culture and our news media is such an irredeemable dumpster fire it's incredible... the United States is a shit hole

The Shadow knows...

A Hollywood 'gun trope' that has done more to convince the public to be 'anti-gun' is the movie gun that goes off when dropped. A family member actually said to me that it was unsafe to have guns in her house because "what if it falls over and goes off". This comes from Hollywood movies and Anthony is right-on about this: It's nearly impossible with any modern guns. It just doesn't happen. Funny thing is - you will undoubtedly hear about murders (you can find some on YT) where the shooter (usually a wife) reports that "the gun accidentally went off" and this immediately tells police they have a good foul play case to investigate since they know that almost NEVER happens. Likewise, people admitted to hospitals claiming 'they dropped the gun and it went off' are quickly flagged for self-harm/suicide attempts because, again, its almost impossible with modern-era guns. IF the NRA ever wanted to 'deconvert' millions of gun control types of voters - they could simply do a big public education campaign on just that single fear alone. Debunk that, show its Hollywood and even play those gun manufacturer videos where they purposely safety test their own guns by loading them and repeatedly dropping the over and over from many heights, surfaces etc. *nope, so far, a semi-auto rifle hasn't accidentally kept spraying bullets as it tumbled down stairs either!* ala Schwarzeneggers 'True Lies'.

This is what happens when people handle guns who hate them and dont want to learn about them.

Lecabron James will say them's the Realest tears he's ever seen...Evah!!! 🤣

If I or anyone I know would have pointed a gun at someone, pulled the trigger, and that person died as a result, I'm sure me or anyone else would have been arrested on the spot.

Ant outshone himself on this one. Legendary shit talking and a perfect South Park reference.

I always fantasized more of a red dawn scenario in high school. Bad guys come, I band everyone together and lead them to victory, everyone realizes I’m the man lol

Cumia and Gav could do a 1hr podcast a week with no video feed and I'd pay 200 a year for a sub

oh he cryin' please believe he cryin. they just had to make sure it was on camera or else it doesn't count

This is the kind of old-timey revolver analysis I come here for.

The main problem with this interview is that ABC did it. We know we can't trust a word they say. Alec is doing more harm here then good.

Anthony is so good at explaining things. I preferred the O&A Anthony over the Compound Anthony though, cause on O&A he was more relaxed, he didn't need to yell like he does now. It's probably something he has to do, cause he's carrying the whole show by himself, it can't be easy.. But I think he's better as a reactionary comic. He was so relaxed on O&A, I always liked him cause it seemed like he wasn't forcing himself to be loud or trying to keep the viewers' attention. But now, in this new modern era of media, the viewers have unbelievably short attention spans, so I understand his position. Either way, we love you Ant👍👍 Sorry Anthony, it's gotta be irritating to be constantly compared to the O&A days..

We don't believe that ONE second Alec. Great acting tho

COMPOUND MEDIA T SHIRT : You QuickDraw then you... QuickDraw

Na, the gun went out and purchased a live round. Put the bullet in itself. Levitated and flew into Alec's hand. Fused with his palm and pointed itself at the woman. Cocked itself, took its safety off and pulled its own trigger. Clearly Alec was a victim

Fantastic explanation on the firing mechanics of older single action revolvers and safety mechanisms of newer revolvers. However, regardless of the particular revolver and the mechanics involved, Baldwin upon the receipt of the weapon should have verified its condition prior to continuing to manipulate it - bottom line.

Ant is the first person who has explained this in perfect detail and understanding of what probably happened from Alec's point of view . Ant could be on Alec's defense as a older gun expert .

I found it incredibly funny when Alec was criticizing Clooney for giving his un-needed opinion that didn't help BUT it was entirely okay for Baldwin to give his opinions on other matters like Trump that let's be honest..... "WAS NOT HELPFUL" Regardless shouldn't someone take responsibility for the shooting??? His focus is on the bullet but shouldn't it be on this gun that mysteriously had it's trigger pulled? Baldwin unwillingness to accept any blame makes him more pathetic

He should pull a Kevin Spacey and come out of the closet

that Beavis & Butthead impression is gold

Before he shot her he said "You've insulted me for the last time! I'm going to *straighten* your *ass* OUT!"

Alec is so silly!

Alec is going for his Academy Award performance before his largest audience ever, since his freedom and wealth is at stake, I'll bet he hired experts, in various fields, to create a performance that would appear genuine and sincere, using phycological techniques that appeals to our sense of empathy and compassion. There are many unsolved mysteries within our universe but Alec not aiming the gun at the victim and both cocking the hammer and then pulling the trigger, just AIN'T one of them. I would like to see him receive a fair trial, with intelligent, impartial people on the jury, rendering true Justice.

The plate that is held in place when you pull the trigger on a revolver is called a transfer bar.

The person holding the inanimate object is responsible for what he does with it.

When this first happened, I thought "I hope the Right doesn't exploit this, it would be incredibly disrespectful to the decedent and in poor taste." Not in my wildest imagination could I have imagined it would have become this self-parodying abomination.

The real cause = a female armorer

To make a point of gun safety on studio sets they’re going to have to make an example of him.

Antony cumia. National treasure.

HE did that shit on purpose cuz he knows he can get away with it!

Ok so Alec pulled the hammer. What difference does it make. Either way, he shot people.

That whole production down to Baldwin broke chain of command not checking that weapon

I've heard on good authority there's an NBC miniseries coming out based on this story and they're calling it 30 Glock.
