mike: alec baldwin has to live with this terrible tragedy. is he also going to pay dearly with lawsuits against his production company? >> he may. he was one of the producers on the till the. so that, of course, is a big factor in that. it's really hard to say where this is going to go. i still don't personally believe alec was at fault. he was handed a gun that he was told was a cold gun, meaning it was empty. never in the first place should have picked that gun up. the guns only go from the armorer to the actors. mike: interesting. you know the industry. you say you've never had a problem with these kind of terrible accidents, but do you think that the industry will still feel only gated to take some -- obligated to take extra precautions going forward? >> well, there's nothing wrong with taking extra precautions, but the safety protocols are in place already. there's not much we can do to further enhance that. we personally, my cane has a lot of guns -- company has a lot of blank-fire only guns, so no live round could go in them even if yo

this is not about alec baldwin. this isn't about a person who has been a political sort of figure for lack of a better term. this is a about an industry that has a practice that does not appear to be entirely safe and i do think there is journalists really digging into this which is to the good. howie: and the fact that some of the crew walked off to protest working conditions fits into the larger puzzle. isn't the press milk this to some degree because you this is alec baldwin, he's controversial, he played trump on snl. >> sure, he is one of the post well-known actors in america and he killed somebody on a set. it's a tragic story, it's a horrible story. but it's an incredible story that this happened. and of courses been very vocal and outspoken about the nra. yet he and many other actors made millions and millions of dollars profiting off movies that use gun violence. it's tripled according to the american pediatric association. gun violence tripled in movies over the past three decades and yet baldwin and other

baldwin was rehearsing, he was given the gun. before he had it the assistant director had it. it's unclear where the assistant director got it. there's a suggestion he picked it off the table. in that case it should have been in the anderson of the armorer and unclear if she kept a chain of custody on the gun and certainly didn't have control at the time. there were at least three or people who had the gun before it went off and i think that makes this whole investigation interesting. griff: when we hear a report the armorer, the woman who is sort of the weapons specialist on the set said she really doesn't know how a live round could be in the gun. that really is hard to process. >> well, it suggests that she didn't-- she didn't know what she was doing. if you don't have an answer how to happened, if you had a better answer, which is i kept the gun here, it was in a safe, it was on me, no possible way it could have got there. that's the better answer. if you say you don't know how, the procedures weren't in place, and that's how we got in this tragic situation. >> i would thi

the firearms and the ammo that were believed to be in alec baldwin's hands. an analysis of what kind of bullets that could be in that weapon. first, merrick garland grilled on capitol hill today. another rough day for this gentleman. over his memo that called for the fbi to assist with threats of violence by parents against school board members. now, since the last hearing, the national school board association who memo he admits was the basis for his action, they backed down. they said that it was wrong of them to suggest that these parents could be domestic terrorists in this context. so the a.g. was under pressure to do the same thing and to rescind his memo. >> either you run the department of justice or the department runs you. right now looks like the department of justice is running you. >> did you consider the chilling effect your medium random might have on parents exercising their constitutional rights? i think you can answer that yes or no. >> what i consider -- i wanted the memorandum to assure people that we recognize the rights of spirited debat

is alec baldwin himself on the hook for any of those charges? listen to the full exchange here. >> all options are on the table at this point. i'm not commenting on charges whether they will be filed or not or on whom. so the answer is, we cannot answer that question yet until we complete a more thorough investigation. >> [question inaudible] >> nobody has been ruled out at this point. >> now, given that the sheriff had talked about complacency in the handling of the weapons and given the assistant director david halls has admitted that he did not check the gun, i also asked the d.a. if there was legally speaking a bridge from complacency to criminal negligence. here's what she said to that. >> there is a bridge in it. there will take many more facts before we can it go to that criminal negligence standard. again, they're gathering that as we speak. >> complacency in itself does not amount to criminal behavior? >> i can't say that without specifically legally researching that. my off-the-cuff answer is no. >> now, there may obviously be some tim

baldwin. the district attorney makes it clear now that criminal charges are on the table amid claims of negligence, unprofessionalism and stunning new information about the gun and the crew. let's watch. >> good morning, everybody. welcome to the santa fe county sheriff's office. first and foremost, i'd like to offer condolences to the hutchins family, a speedy recovery to mr. souza and the concern of the safety of men and women in the field industry. at october 21, 2:48 p.m., we were dispatched to the ranch after a 911 call advising two people were shot on the movie set. it was later determined that halyna hutchins, the director and joel souza, the director had been shot while rehearsing a scene on the movie "rust." it was determined that actor producer alec baldwin was the person that fired the weapon. we identified two other people that handled and/or inspected the loaded firearm prior to baldwin firing the weapon. these two individuals are armor hannah gutierrez and assistant director davi

it's about the deadly movie set shooting involving alec baldwin. the district attorney makes it clear now that criminal charges are on the table amid claims of negligence, unprofessionalism and stunning new informa

why is alec baldwin have the hammer cocked and then pulls the trigger? so it's not just taking a gun and pulling the trigger, he had to cock that hammer in order to release that bullet. so no one is really talking about that. i get the cross-body thing. whether it's a prop gun or real gun. if you have a real bullet in a prop gun it can kill one person as it did halyna. it went through her and into the director. >> bill: they are acting, okay, on a set in new mexico. why would they have a live bullet? >> that speaks to the incompetence and negligence on the part of this crew. there should not have been any live ammo anywhere. this is what happens in a real movie where they have real professionals. you take that gun, you open the chamber, you see there are no bullets in the chamber, you take a light, you look down the barrel. no casing in the barrel and then you say cold gun. you prove it is a cold gun. this was amateur hour to save money and one person died. it is -- you could say alec baldwin didn't mean it. that's not the test. the test is was he reckle
