J6 panel was good. No cross examine. No attorneys. Nothing on Pelosi's actions that day. No release of all video. No questions for Ray Epps. A regular brain trust circle jerk.
Use to like Barrie but not a fan of hers the last few years. Yes Jews are facing hate…but if you point out Israeli is doing similar things to Palestinians (not Hamas…the ones that are citizens or live in West Bank) there is some BS excuse. She won’t even have a discussion on it…neither will Bill for that matter. In general it was not too bad though.
Agreed. This is why Joe Rogan's long-form format works so well. His format allows for deeper discussion. It's such a waste of guests when they only have a couple of minutes to project their thoughts
It was good but Frances is NOT a whistle blower. She isn't. A whistle blower can identify a crime that their employer is perpetrating. Facebook committed no crime. Tyler Schultz and Erika Cheung are whistle blowers, not this Frances. All she wanted to do, was go before congress and have them create some kind of regulatory agency to regulate social media and (oh) make her the head of it. Neither of these things have happened.
@@Wade56 I agree too. Rogan's 3 hour format is the best because he can put someone on there with totally insane views, not question them at all and it will impact a decent amount of people because of the vast reach. They'll just believe the incorrect viewset because they trust Joe and his guests without question. That's how brainwashing and propoganda 101 works. Thank God for Reagan, for he took away the Fairness Doctrine in the 80s to make allow for our crazy one sided views to be available for easily manipulated people. Hahah. Hahah Muahahahahaha. Rogan, Reagan? Doesn't anybody else find that very interesting? Has anybody ever seen the two in the same room together?
I'm even more upset at how Billy boy wasted Frances Haugen in the opening of the show. Bill was barely letting her elaborate on her answers. He was almost constantly using her to affirm his biases about social media. She was literally like a therapist to his whining session. Pathetic.

I know this wasn’t a piece from overtime, but I have to comment on Bill’s bit on obesity. I’m a pediatrician and I’ve read the new guidelines. Either Bill hasn’t read them or only chose to comment on the hot button issues that made him feel he could score some points. Nearly everything there is about lifestyle change, specifically aggressive diet change. This might have instead been a great opportunity to discuss why our children have been exposed to so much unhealthy food. The exposures to sugary, processed foods starts in infancy, so their hooked early. We directly market this cheap crap to children and desperate parents and then keep shoveling it to them in school. Why not have a conversation about how to make healthy food more affordable and the junk less accessible rather than argue whether this is a genetic problem?
Here, here!!! Let's start with why corn grown for by-products and sweetening is given huge subsidies, but Broccoli and Spinach get none. Subsidies are part of the problem. Those subsidies affect everything from fast food, to candy bars, school lunches and other institutional food (hospitals, after school programs) and so on. And that does not even touch upon food deserts.
Bill is an asshole and not only blames the obese but fans the flames of the "normal" people by trying to convince them that their problems are ultimately caused by the fat. Lot of factors causing obesity and preventing easy weight loss, but jag Maher is only interested in belittling and blaming.
Bari, as a black woman with 2 black sons and 1 black grandson. I know the feeling if walking around with a target on your back, just because of the color of your skin. Sorry we Don't have guards for protection, can't go to certain places and feel comfortable. Can't drive thru some states without being stopped. I would tell any black person Don't go camping, some ignorant red neck could use you for target practice. You can't tell if you're Jewish, however my sons look black.
👏👏👏, the best comment EVER, and its so unreal that blacks are suppose to feel so.much sympathy for jews & asians, but when it's US.......everyone say blacks are complaining and looking for trouble and should educate ourselves and not be bad people!! It's so unreal & scary, when black people are hated by everyone!!
Yes, Bill just mentions the synagogue attack and conveniently forgets to mention the painful massacre in Jenin camp just the day before were 9 civilians were killed by the IDF and many more were critically injured. The entire world never said anything and the Palestinians just know the world doesn’t care about them and their Palestinian so called authority is corrupt and just function as another occupation by proxy. So I guess yeah, of course people celebrated that! And then you have the audacity to talk about antisemitism! Guys, it’s a colonial occupation in Palestine and the Israeli public just elected a far right government that publicly say they want Palestinians gone. Settlers attack Palestinians on a daily basis and you just are rude enough to turn this around as if the Israelis are completely innocent.
Bari likes her comforts. I dont really like her glib takes on issues. I assume she takes safety and comfort for granted. Dont think she s evil but she s just another human doing a bit better then most
people would be a lot less hateful if mainstream media didn't demonize everyone of opposite political views. And all the fake news spread by social media is driving people mad
And just today, a couple of hours ago, Israeli forces raided the city of Nablus killing 10, and leaving 100 people injured, a lot of them were critically injured. And demolished buildings in the process. Will we ever hear a word about that from Bill? Never. He forgot to mention the raid on Jenin city the day before the synagogue attack so why should he even be aware of this one. Palestinians aren’t blue-eyes for the most part, they’re just numbers!
Now, when you fill out a form in a doctor’s office, they ask what gender you were when born. My 87 year old mother was terribly confused by the question.
Absolutely. I'm straight as an arrow. Even gay guys have told me they can tell the minute I walk into the room. I've never been called 'queer'. However, I have been called WEIRD. I'm ok with that.
Identify 🙄 I'ts all tribal crap. I''m straight, I don't identify as anything but myself. I've got people in the family that are gay, they don't either identify as anything but themselves.

Israel deserves a good amount of criticism, especially the current government but no one ever has the right to intentionally target and kill civilians, especially in their house of worship and any legitimate beef with the Israeli government doesn't justify someone carrying out an attack like that.
Tim Ryan is spot on and down to earth with so many topics and issues, regardless of his party affiliation. Ohio, what were you guys thinking with Vance?
Why is it that politicians can seem so normal on this show - can have a discussion, appear to listen, have a sense of humour - but when you put them all in the same room they cannot even say hi to each other. Are we all just being played???
Behind the scenes they all mesh and party with one another. Trump went to Chelsea Clinton's wedding. They argue on C-Span as a show for their constituents but in the end they go to the same country clubs and parties.
You can't fire a Pietta Long Colt revolver without cocking the pistol and pulling the trigger. Baldwin did both. He thought the gun wasn't loaded, didn't check himself, and killed a bystander. He was responsible and the charge is not murder (which requires intent) but involuntary manslaughter, which does not.
He said he pulled back the hammer with his thumb but didn't lock it. Then when the cinematographer said that was good he let go of the hammer. He should have kept his thumb on it all the way back. That is why it fired the round. He didn't need to have his finger on the trigger.
There should never have been real ammunition on a movie set for a prop gun either. We also have the technology to not need to be in the line of fire if the gun is pointed at a camera too.
If you take your car to a mechanic to have the breaks done. And the mechanic removes the old pads but forgets to put new pads on. And you leave the shop and are unable to stop resulting in a fatal crash. You'd technically be guilty of vehicular manslaughter. However, I don't think any prosecutor would ever charge you. You paid an expert to give you a safe car, just like the movie production company paid an expert to give Alec a safe gun.
@@Im.Okay.Youre.Fucked Yes, but Baldwin was also a producer. If as a producer/car shop owner, he told employees to never test the cars brakes because it's a waste of time, even after some other incidents and employees quitting after ignored complaints about not testing/checking brakes before returning cars to customers.. yes, as that car shop owner a case could be made for manslaughter. Not saying %100 conviction, but enough for charges to be filed. Employees people quitting/threatening to quit the set due to safety concerns.
Bil Maher let the quiet part out. He said that the January 6th committee "put on a show". Exactly. They even brought in Hollywood people to "put on a show". The committee was as authentic as "Forrest Gump". A great show but nothing to do with reality.
@Paul Wilgus My father died from Mesothelioma--long before there was a name for it. He was a plumber & back then plumbers worked w asbestos on a daily basis. I watched him go from a vibrant man to someone on oxygen 24/7. So weak he just shriveled down to nothing--and he was a thin man to begin with. So you can see this is a topic very close to my heart. Unless you've SEEN what asbestos does to someone first hand--do NOT compare it to Fentanyl deaths! My dad didn't know his career would take his life--after YRS of suffering from a hellish disease he did not WILLINGLY get exposed to! God bless you for your comment!
I disagree. Fentanyl is a legitimate useful medication in hospital settings that has helped millions of people. It's a tragedy what is happening in the illicit drug realm, but there are other solutions rather than removing fentanyl from the face of the earth.
The USA is listed as a “flawed democracy” under the Democracy Index because of 1) the electoral college 2) plurality voting 3) the Senate 4) allowing state politicians of the majority party to draw district lines, instead of an independent commission 5) money in politics (aka, legalized corruption), Citizens United, lobbyists, etc. Since these things have a near zero chance of changing, we will continue to suffer the consequences (like Trump, etc).
The US had a full democracy rating every year until Trump was elected. And even when Trump was in office it was only just under being a full democracy by a fraction. It dropped in 2021 probably because of the Capital riot, but to imply that the US has a bad democracy because of its place on the index is silly. Many countries seem to switch between full democracy and flawed. All of whom are pretty great countries for democracy. Plus rn the highest ranked countries are Norway and New Zealand. Im from NZ and I don't think our system is all that great. It is better than the US sure, but it isn't true democracy. We rely heavily on representatives just like the US and they often just vote on their own whims and not on the opinions of the people.
@@dragonrings14 - Well, you are wrong about the rank of the USA on the democracy index. So, I can’t believe anything else you have comments. Good luck! Look up: Direct (pure) Democracy (Something the US founding fathers called “mob rule” or “tyranny of the majority”, they disliked it so much they created a Representative Democracy. Look that up too). Specifically, no country should desire a “pure democracy”. Many have warned of democracy, in general… Socrates, etc.
@@Bat_Boy I googled the positions of all the countries before commenting so unless you aren't using the EIU data, I'm right about USA's ranking. I'm aware of the founding fathers not wanting a "direct" democracy. That is why they have the electoral college. But it isn't all that different than any other representative democracy. The electoral college never goes against the will of the people anymore. If they were going to, It would have been when Trump was elected. Yeah people are worried about letting idiots vote. That is what the founding fathers feared and that is what Socrates feared too. It is demagoguery that is the problem, not educated democracy. How we choose to try stop demagoguery is the real question.
"Insane," is the correct word. I have been asking my therapist (literally) if I am insane for more than seven years! He keeps insisting that I am not insane, it is the world that has gone crazy.
Tim Ryan talking about cops under stress because they're only making $14 / hr to do a stressful job. Well Tim, if you think that's stressful, try just living while black. . . Plus if the $14 an hour isn't enough, then they're free to go somewhere else and work for more money, black people can't decide to change their color, in order to be safe walking the streets. Yes, being a police officer is a stressful job that requires a certain personality to do the job well, and those guys should be respected and paid well. BUT, "I was stressed out or afraid for my life" when killing a black or brown person should not be a get out of jail free card for cops half assing their way onto the job, or using the badge to assert their deep seated psychosis or feelings of inadequacy.

Let parents talk to their children about it if they feel like they are gay. It's something you find out on your own.

I’m genuinely curious. Why is it that when we discuss fentanyl, so many of us point our fingers to immigration but never to the actual culprit, the pharmaceutical companies that manufacture fentanyl and widely distributes fentanyl?
They are not handing out fentanyl in the states like that. It's being smuggled into the country. It can sometimes be medically used but you aren't just prescribed it.
I wish I could send in a question for this week's Overtime, but I left Twitter, so apparently no can do. The comments on the Bill's HBO-sponsored blog have been disabled for so long I can't remember when, and there doesn't seem to be any other channel. I think it would be a question for Bret Stephens, but there doesn't seem to be anyone really on target for this topic this week: There is a big scandal "trending" about contaminated sushi. My theory is TikTok is driving it, and I think the Chinese can control what trends on Tiktok. Is this anti-sushi thing actually a politically motivated attack on Japan? Maybe not even China's idea? Maybe Putin asked his buddy for the help? By the way, it would be funny if the show mentioned the long-distance robbery scandal unfolding now between Japan and the Philippines. The gang apparently started as a kind of criminal telephone help desk based in the Philippines, but robbing people in Japan over the phone. Then they branched into robbery, recruiting the robbers still living in Japan via social media. The funny part was that the leaders of the gang were apparently operating the business from inside their detention center in Manila. "You can't arrest me because I'm already in jail!" The ultimate in chutzpah?
Love how he keeps saying that dems are toxic and yet they gained seats in the senate and barely lost the house. Oh and thankfully the whooing staff were on vacation this week.
Lol because there are WAY more left wing media outlets that all spew propaganda against the Republican party. The Democrats do a really good job at brainwashing and tricking people. They stick together better than Republicans. It's like a cult. They've gone radical in the past decade or two.

I don't see how he blamed the weight-lost pill and gastric bypass on Democrats. That sounded kind of random and like he's trying to appease the viewer overlap he shares with FOXNEWS.
He cocked the hammer for the scene, and the gun went off. They're saying he pulled the trigger BUT when the FBI tested the gun, the sixth time they cocked the hammer, the gun went off without the trigger being pulled.
Agreed. People on either side who clutch their pearls and hate on anyone who doesn't completely agree with everything they say are a lot of the problem, and essentially just intellectually weak.
The reason we don't talk to each other about solutions is because of the divisive agenda the political parties foster by constantly highlighting our differences and providing reasons to fear and hate our neighbors. They know if we were to talk rationally with each other we'd come to the conclusion that we have more in common with each other than those who are supposed to be representing us and fixing problems. They can always find a way to work things out when they want to give trillion dollar tax breaks to billion aries however they can't provide clean drinking water to the people or fix broken infrastructure. They always have money for the military industrial complex but they can't afford to fix the homeless problem or provide a safe environment for our children to learn. It's easy to fix 90% of the problems if they actually cared about them however there the problems that only poor people have not the wealthy like the majority of our politicians. Peace and love to each of you.
You seem to feel it's "Both Sides' while ignoring that the Dems fought to limit Insulin cost for Medicare, which the GQP opposed - AND the tax breaks for the rich were opposed by the dems and rammed in by the GQP.

@@donhagen6318 I fully agree with everything you said however remember president Obama had the ability to pass everything he said he would do if elected "Change " in the first 2 years of his presidency because the Dems held the house and the senate he did nothing and spent the next 6 years getting shut down by the GOP. The point is the majority of our politicians are beholden to their corporate masters and donors and there will never be any real problem solving until we get together and force them to change. I don't have a problem with my republican or democratic neighbors for I am also an independent we all work, go to school, shop and live our lives in the same manner.

No, it's because one party is made of fascists, and they don't argue in good faith basically by definition. Their solution to everything is "the government is broken, let's break it more, to show how broken it is, and then blame the other group for it".
That should be the process, but there are thousands of people doing that without any chance to fix their immigration status. Plus, republicans need to keep it that way to distract their base from issues that truly affect their lives.
Bill, When it comes to Gun safety everyone that touches the Gun, fake or real, should be responsible. When the gun was given to the actor they should have been trained and shown how it worked and why it was fake. And unless you intend to kill, even a fake gun should not be directly pointed at a living being, ever. You can point at an area next to the other actor and look like you’re pointing it at them with the right camera angles. So that this doesn’t happen again everyone that touched the gun that day in the set should do at least a minimum sentence.
Do you have any idea how many films have been made, all over the world? No one that I can remember ever got shot to death, accidentally. As usual this is blown way out of control and common sense. Accidents are just an abbreration. No body wanted this. Stupid as they were.
People are overweight for MANY MANY reasons not just calories in - calories out. They also don’t want you to accept they’re fat, they just don’t want to be shamed as they go about their lives. It’s very very difficult to get this under control especially when the doctors don’t know what they’re doing you said so yourself. I had to lose over 100 lbs. living with the lowest self confidence, which manifests into high anxiety, which became a propensity to reach for food ultimately addiction. So after getting to the root of all that I have the right perspective and don’t use food to medicate anymore. 😊🌹
That's a weird take from Bill. I can understand the public health concerns, but he's angry about medical decision and treatment options for the obese. It's their body, and that's between the patient and a bariatric doctor. He's a comedian with great fat jokes, but this gives the impression that he's "punching down."
But less time for all parties to get a word in edgewise. If this was a podcast format where it could go for hours it might work but remember that 20 minutes is taken up by the monologue and first interview, then 10 minutes for New Rules and editorial, plus 5 minutes for the in-between gag. That's 35 minutes already taken up for an hour show. To be able to discuss these very nuanced and complicated subjects requires long explanations especially if those on the panel disagree. It would instead become something akin to cable news where everything is compressed into sound bytes which runs the risk of the greater nuance being lost in transit.
I don’t have a gas stove so just want to say it’s been kept quiet for years about the fumes they emit in the atmosphere I know friends who are heath conscience that always put them outside on patios or Lanais I believe the gas & oil companies have again been “gaslighting” us.
He was one of many producers. Hollywood often names the top actors as producers, especially if they have put up some of their own money, to make the film, which Baldwin did do. That doesn't make him responsible for casting and hiring. And none of the other producers are charged. Why not, if being a producer makes one liable?
Thanks Mr Bill for the teenie tiny little clip. Always appreciated. I'm gonna look for a full bootleg. I need the whole show. Bill is part of the gravity that helps keep me grounded. Txs 🍁
This is NOT a 'teenie tiny little clip'. This is the shorter, last segment of Real Time that is only shown on TH-cam. Bill's been doing this for YEARS. Pay attention!
So you just want a left-wing echo chamber where anybody you disagree with is a "traitor". It's a good thing Bill doesn't listen to people like you and other political correctness.

Old school Republicans are anti-gay, pro-Christian, and anti-free speech. Bill is hardly any of these. Maybe stop being excessively tribal and think that everyone who is critical of wokeness is a Republican?
It's just that Dems have moved so radically left and he didn't, so it seems to some like he's gone to the Right. Same with a lot of traditional Dems (like me)

Actually Brandon Lee's incident didn't involve a "real bullet" that way. They made their own dummy rounds (no armorer) for a scene and one of them actually partially fired and the bullet was stuck in the barrel. Later, when they used it with blanks, the blank propelled the shell and...
So imagine if you had a complete imbecile whose other job was a Nick Cage film which he complained about guns also going off on set and then you get this job and the rules are so loose that you have target practice on the same set lol (all speculation but some rumors)
As an actor, no, Alec Baldwin should not face criminal charges. The armorer should. As a producer, yes, Alec Baldwin should face charges because there is evidence that he may have been aware of the armorer’s negligence and would have been in an authority position to deal with that.
Thank you, I've been wondering about the Alec Baldwin thing too; it doesn't make sense to me either. He's an actor; actors pick up the guns they are given and pretend to shoot people with them -that's their job. Why would he have had reason to think it would be a problem? My question was why are there ever REAL bullets on movie sets in the first place?
1. He was also a Producer, and thus partially responsible for the corner cutting. 2. Reportedly he refused to show up for safety training. 3. You never point an actual gun at another person and pull the trigger--which the FBI said happened. There are ways to make it LOOK like you did without it actually happening. 4. This was not even a scene: it was just rehearsal. 5. Regarding poetic justice, maybe Baldwin's enthusiasm for putting Dick Cheney in jail for a hunting accident was misplaced.
That's not how movie sets work. The armourers dont even WANT actors fucking with the guns because half of them dont know what they're doing. It's literally not the actor's job.
@@celinenaville you couldn't be more wrong. EVERY SINGLE PERSON that touches a firearm om set is responsible for safety. The industry requires the training be given to EVERYONE involved. In this case, the armorer and others started the problem rolling in two VERY bad ways. 1)using working firearms on-set instead of readily available prop guns 2)having live ammo within 100 MILES of that set knowing there were real guns used in filming.
accountability has been missing in America since 1860. when a group of southern white slavers did want to obey the law of the land. slavery which was legal in 1619,1719 and 1819 was no longer legal in 1860. it was legal and still is in most of the populated world. its only illegal in the british empire and former british colonies'. these southern whites after they "lost" the civil war found ways to use laws to keep slavery alive after Andrew Johnson allegedly sold out the blacks in 1876 to get elected president. he made a dirty deal with the the whites only Dixiecrat's. midnight the day the trains pulled out with the last union soldiers jim crow and juan crow came riding in. The KKK kept order and the blacks could not vote. allegedly black women did not get to vote until 1964 in the south. the Dixiecrat haven't changed much since 1860 except they became republicans starting in 1964. strom thurmond 8 term southern democrat senator changes sides and becomes a republican. now we got Marjorie Greene, ted cruz, paul gosar, coach tuberville working against America and for their fascist price gouging corporations.
@@solomonshv Baldwin and the armorer have both been charged. The question or proper word is to find them guilty. 🙄 (People can't even get the language right and these are the kind of people we put on juries. No wonder prosecutors win 98% of the time).
No one is saying "come one come all...we don't care how bad you are". There is no grand bargain to be had. Republicans simply need to fear monger to get elected.
If someone hands you a gun capable of firing live ammunition, you should make sure you know the status of it. Especially if you're going to violate the gun safety rules. Even for actors.
I can answer the question, Bari: Armists shave the triggers to make sure the hero NEVER looks like they're straining to pull the trigger. Something similar happened to me at a theme park wild west show. He is innocent.
Who was the ARMORER ... not ARMIST by the way? Do you have any clue about what you are talking about? Doesn't seem like it. The ARMORER was uinion, and the union had walked off because of abuses on the set, including the staff playing with the guns. When they left Management, which included Alec Baldwin, decided to continue filming with a person pretending to be an armorer but did not know what they were doing.
I think the Alec Baldwin thing is another distraction. Largely due to the fact who put the live ammo in the gun? Why was there any live ammo anywhere near the set? Who put the live ammo in the gun?? This is the number one question.
Movie prop guns often have modified actions for various special effects. One popular example of this is the series The Rifleman starring Chuck Connors. They made three of those carbines, each one a little different as they refined it. The action was modified to automatically trip the trigger via a set-screw custom built into the action lever. Similarly, single-action revolvers (virtually all revolvers used during the 1880's, the era during which "Rust" takes place, were single-action) used in scenes where the actor or stuntman is "fanning" the hammer while the trigger is pulled will have the trigger sear completely machined off and smoothed over so the nervous actor doesn't ruin a $50,000 shot by forgetting to keep the trigger pulled while he fans the hammer at hip level. That happened a lot before they made revolvers purpose-built for fanning. If Alec Baldwin was handed one of these guns, pulling back the hammer and then releasing it -- which would normally just rotate the cylinder and engage the trigger sear to hold back the hammer until the trigger was pulled -- would just let the hammer fall home and its firing pin would strike the primer, thereby firing the cartridge. That's how things worked until the 1960s, when better firearms engineers designed revolvers to use what is sometimes called a "Transfer Bar" or a "Safety Bar" which sits between the hammer and the firing pin. In these models the firing pin is no longer connected to the hammer but rather sits inside the frame itself. The Transfer Bar is connected to the trigger, so that when it is pulled, the Transfer Bar rises to come between the hammer and the firing pin. The only way to hit the firing pin and thereby fire the cartridge is for the trigger to be pulled all the way back when the hammer falls. This also prevents accidental discharges from dropping and mishandling. Obviously these Transfer Bars do not exist on the 1880s revolvers used to build these "fanning" prop guns, and so any time the hammer falls home, the firing pin is struck and, in turn, strikes the primer in the cartridge and fires the cartridge. I hope this helps.
Alec is not new to firearms as he used to hunt. Regardless, he's an adult that should have known better especially since he's anti gun. 18 months is disgusting but much like Jessie getting to walk out of jail it just proves the hypocrisy in how our legal system fails regular people.
@@tihspidtherekciltilc5469 There appears to have been confusion as to what version of the revolver was handed to him. They are all supposed to look absolutely identical, so there very well may have been no way whatsoever for him to tell. Handing a hot firearm to an actor is entirely the armorer's fault. IIRC, this is even stipulated in the production contracts.
Very informative but moot to the quintessential rule of firearm safety that must be observed regardless of all variables such as the persons handling, the type of firearm (modified or not) or any of the reasons that anyone can give. The rule being "check the gun." It takes seconds to do and you can never be wrong for doing it.
@@dyloniusofsparta I think you are referring to, where did the live round come from? I haven't made this tragedy a hobby, but 1) can you tell at a glance that round is not a blank? 2) were any live rounds being used to anybody's knowledge on set? It's interesting, but all this about firing characteristics doesn't answer the Question, why was there a real dadgum bullet in that gun?
Bill - watch the recent PBS Nova episode about fat. Most obesity is behavioral but not all. The big shift came with high fructose corn syrup in the 70s.
Bill, you really need to explain what a sanctuary city is. Municipal sanctuary limits cooperation between municipal authorities and /Homeland Security-ICE so that undocumented people would be more willing to cooperate with police and other municipal authorities, thus improving public safety. For everyone.
In the case of Alec Balwin, we need to know why live ammo was on set and who put it there.
I'm sure authorities have been all over that since day one.
Simple the armorer (female charged) F'ed up. She should be charged not Baldwin.
Hard to imagine what the need for live ammo on a movie set it.

We needed more overtime with this panel. Loved it.
Yer kidding
Agreed was a lovely discussion
J6 panel was good. No cross examine. No attorneys. Nothing on Pelosi's actions that day. No release of all video. No questions for Ray Epps. A regular brain trust circle jerk.
Use to like Barrie but not a fan of hers the last few years. Yes Jews are facing hate…but if you point out Israeli is doing similar things to Palestinians (not Hamas…the ones that are citizens or live in West Bank) there is some BS excuse. She won’t even have a discussion on it…neither will Bill for that matter.
In general it was not too bad though.
I met Frances Haugen at UCLA when she did a Q&A! She answered all of my questions with such sophistication. Brilliant guest.
She has a great laugh, too! 😊
She's a Democrat agent.
And Bill wasted her in the beginning of the show, when she had the stage.
I laughed so hard when Bill got Frances to break. She'd been overly serious until then. His wit is so damn quick!!
Funny shit😂
Her ex husband must be a douchebag. Leaving her?!
'I identify as confused' is brilliant. I'm going to say this now.
I’m confused your incapable of thinking of your own sentence, unfortunate.
College isn't elitist, Bill. It's free everywhere other than the US.
Owning a fucking island, that's elitist.
That's a weird take from Bill, a college graduate and business owner. We should see the requirements to work for him.
And Bill went to freakin Cornell, with freakin Ann Coulter, of all places. (Ok a few years before her but still)
Taking the private jet or owning a private jet is elitist... :)
Yea he’s losing it. The problem isn’t college. It’s the cost
Agreed. But who owns an island?
this segment brought out more questions than answers.
So did Socrates
Because bill maher is a hack, a republican hack liar that never talks about real topics anymore... unless he's paid by the alt-right.
That's how debates should work
I was genuinely upset when this finished, because I wanted them to continue on literally every subject.
Agreed. This is why Joe Rogan's long-form format works so well. His format allows for deeper discussion. It's such a waste of guests when they only have a couple of minutes to project their thoughts
It was good but Frances is NOT a whistle blower. She isn't. A whistle blower can identify a crime that their employer is perpetrating. Facebook committed no crime. Tyler Schultz and Erika Cheung are whistle blowers, not this Frances. All she wanted to do, was go before congress and have them create some kind of regulatory agency to regulate social media and (oh) make her the head of it. Neither of these things have happened.
@@Wade56 I agree too. Rogan's 3 hour format is the best because he can put someone on there with totally insane views, not question them at all and it will impact a decent amount of people because of the vast reach. They'll just believe the incorrect viewset because they trust Joe and his guests without question. That's how brainwashing and propoganda 101 works.
Thank God for Reagan, for he took away the Fairness Doctrine in the 80s to make allow for our crazy one sided views to be available for easily manipulated people. Hahah. Hahah Muahahahahaha. Rogan, Reagan? Doesn't anybody else find that very interesting? Has anybody ever seen the two in the same room together?
I'm even more upset at how Billy boy wasted Frances Haugen in the opening of the show. Bill was barely letting her elaborate on her answers. He was almost constantly using her to affirm his biases about social media. She was literally like a therapist to his whining session. Pathetic.

I know this wasn’t a piece from overtime, but I have to comment on Bill’s bit on obesity. I’m a pediatrician and I’ve read the new guidelines. Either Bill hasn’t read them or only chose to comment on the hot button issues that made him feel he could score some points. Nearly everything there is about lifestyle change, specifically aggressive diet change. This might have instead been a great opportunity to discuss why our children have been exposed to so much unhealthy food. The exposures to sugary, processed foods starts in infancy, so their hooked early. We directly market this cheap crap to children and desperate parents and then keep shoveling it to them in school. Why not have a conversation about how to make healthy food more affordable and the junk less accessible rather than argue whether this is a genetic problem?
He’s mentioned that multiple times
Here, here!!! Let's start with why corn grown for by-products and sweetening is given huge subsidies, but Broccoli and Spinach get none. Subsidies are part of the problem. Those subsidies affect everything from fast food, to candy bars, school lunches and other institutional food (hospitals, after school programs) and so on. And that does not even touch upon food deserts.
Bill is an asshole and not only blames the obese but fans the flames of the "normal" people by trying to convince them that their problems are ultimately caused by the fat. Lot of factors causing obesity and preventing easy weight loss, but jag Maher is only interested in belittling and blaming.
If you're pediatrician you must have some basic literacy, no? : "so their hooked early" Come on!

Yes, Bill just mentions the synagogue attack and conveniently forgets to mention the painful massacre in Jenin camp just the day before were 9 civilians were killed by the IDF and many more were critically injured. The entire world never said anything and the Palestinians just know the world doesn’t care about them and their Palestinian so called authority is corrupt and just function as another occupation by proxy. So I guess yeah, of course people celebrated that!
And then you have the audacity to talk about antisemitism! Guys, it’s a colonial occupation in Palestine and the Israeli public just elected a far right government that publicly say they want Palestinians gone. Settlers attack Palestinians on a daily basis and you just are rude enough to turn this around as if the Israelis are completely innocent.

"If people were just not hateful to one another .." so true

If only water was dry
Every major religion on the planet has a "Do unto others..." piece. If only they all had stopped right there.
And just today, a couple of hours ago, Israeli forces raided the city of Nablus killing 10, and leaving 100 people injured, a lot of them were critically injured. And demolished buildings in the process. Will we ever hear a word about that from Bill? Never. He forgot to mention the raid on Jenin city the day before the synagogue attack so why should he even be aware of this one. Palestinians aren’t blue-eyes for the most part, they’re just numbers!
Now, when you fill out a form in a doctor’s office, they ask what gender you were when born. My 87 year old mother was terribly confused by the question.

How is that a hard question lol
She didn't know the answer to that question??? So she doesn't know what gender she is??? Umm, that's troubling.

Absolutely. I'm straight as an arrow. Even gay guys have told me they can tell the minute I walk into the room. I've never been called 'queer'. However, I have been called WEIRD. I'm ok with that.
Identify 🙄 I'ts all tribal crap. I''m straight, I don't identify as anything but myself. I've got people in the family that are gay, they don't either identify as anything but themselves.

Israel deserves a good amount of criticism, especially the current government but no one ever has the right to intentionally target and kill civilians, especially in their house of worship and any legitimate beef with the Israeli government doesn't justify someone carrying out an attack like that.

You can't fire a Pietta Long Colt revolver without cocking the pistol and pulling the trigger. Baldwin did both. He thought the gun wasn't loaded, didn't check himself, and killed a bystander. He was responsible and the charge is not murder (which requires intent) but involuntary manslaughter, which does not.
He said he pulled back the hammer with his thumb but didn't lock it. Then when the cinematographer said that was good he let go of the hammer. He should have kept his thumb on it all the way back. That is why it fired the round. He didn't need to have his finger on the trigger.
There should never have been real ammunition on a movie set for a prop gun either. We also have the technology to not need to be in the line of fire if the gun is pointed at a camera too.
If you take your car to a mechanic to have the breaks done. And the mechanic removes the old pads but forgets to put new pads on. And you leave the shop and are unable to stop resulting in a fatal crash. You'd technically be guilty of vehicular manslaughter. However, I don't think any prosecutor would ever charge you. You paid an expert to give you a safe car, just like the movie production company paid an expert to give Alec a safe gun.
@@Im.Okay.Youre.Fucked Yes, but Baldwin was also a producer. If as a producer/car shop owner, he told employees to never test the cars brakes because it's a waste of time, even after some other incidents and employees quitting after ignored complaints about not testing/checking brakes before returning cars to customers.. yes, as that car shop owner a case could be made for manslaughter. Not saying %100 conviction, but enough for charges to be filed.
Employees people quitting/threatening to quit the set due to safety concerns.
@@Im.Okay.Youre.Fucked pointing an unloaded gun at another person is a felony in Canada and should be everywhere.
Bil Maher let the quiet part out. He said that the January 6th committee "put on a show". Exactly. They even brought in Hollywood people to "put on a show". The committee was as authentic as "Forrest Gump". A great show but nothing to do with reality.

The way we feel about asbestos needs to be the same way that we feel about fentanyl.
hopefully those abatement and lawsuit checks dont go back into the asbestos insulation.
I've personally known two people to die by fentanyl in 2022. And that's just me.... 😳😞😞
@Paul Wilgus My father died from Mesothelioma--long before there was a name for it. He was a plumber & back then plumbers worked w asbestos on a daily basis. I watched him go from a vibrant man to someone on oxygen 24/7. So weak he just shriveled down to nothing--and he was a thin man to begin with. So you can see this is a topic very close to my heart. Unless you've SEEN what asbestos does to someone first hand--do NOT compare it to Fentanyl deaths! My dad didn't know his career would take his life--after YRS of suffering from a hellish disease he did not WILLINGLY get exposed to! God bless you for your comment!
I disagree. Fentanyl is a legitimate useful medication in hospital settings that has helped millions of people. It's a tragedy what is happening in the illicit drug realm, but there are other solutions rather than removing fentanyl from the face of the earth.
false equivalency

Wow, I've never heard someone so perfectly explain my love of Real Time with Bill Maher until now
The USA is listed as a “flawed democracy” under the Democracy Index because of 1) the electoral college 2) plurality voting 3) the Senate 4) allowing state politicians of the majority party to draw district lines, instead of an independent commission 5) money in politics (aka, legalized corruption), Citizens United, lobbyists, etc.
Since these things have a near zero chance of changing, we will continue to suffer the consequences (like Trump, etc).
So true, and the GOP has zero interest in making sure democracy does not get destroyed, their agenda is to destroy it.
The US had a full democracy rating every year until Trump was elected. And even when Trump was in office it was only just under being a full democracy by a fraction. It dropped in 2021 probably because of the Capital riot, but to imply that the US has a bad democracy because of its place on the index is silly. Many countries seem to switch between full democracy and flawed. All of whom are pretty great countries for democracy. Plus rn the highest ranked countries are Norway and New Zealand. Im from NZ and I don't think our system is all that great. It is better than the US sure, but it isn't true democracy. We rely heavily on representatives just like the US and they often just vote on their own whims and not on the opinions of the people.
@@dragonrings14 - Well, you are wrong about the rank of the USA on the democracy index. So, I can’t believe anything else you have comments. Good luck!
Look up:
Direct (pure) Democracy
(Something the US founding fathers called “mob rule” or “tyranny of the majority”, they disliked it so much they created a Representative Democracy. Look that up too). Specifically, no country should desire a “pure democracy”.
Many have warned of democracy, in general… Socrates, etc.
@@Bat_Boy I googled the positions of all the countries before commenting so unless you aren't using the EIU data, I'm right about USA's ranking.
I'm aware of the founding fathers not wanting a "direct" democracy. That is why they have the electoral college. But it isn't all that different than any other representative democracy. The electoral college never goes against the will of the people anymore. If they were going to, It would have been when Trump was elected.
Yeah people are worried about letting idiots vote. That is what the founding fathers feared and that is what Socrates feared too. It is demagoguery that is the problem, not educated democracy. How we choose to try stop demagoguery is the real question.
@@dragonrings14 - Nope. (Keep researching. You’ll get it eventually).
This was a fantastic episode + OT. Great panel!
"Insane," is the correct word. I have been asking my therapist (literally) if I am insane for more than seven years! He keeps insisting that I am not insane, it is the world that has gone crazy.
Tim Ryan talking about cops under stress because they're only making $14 / hr to do a stressful job. Well Tim, if you think that's stressful, try just living while black. . . Plus if the $14 an hour isn't enough, then they're free to go somewhere else and work for more money, black people can't decide to change their color, in order to be safe walking the streets.
Yes, being a police officer is a stressful job that requires a certain personality to do the job well, and those guys should be respected and paid well. BUT, "I was stressed out or afraid for my life" when killing a black or brown person should not be a get out of jail free card for cops half assing their way onto the job, or using the badge to assert their deep seated psychosis or feelings of inadequacy.
Tim Ryan wasn't saying that it should be a get out of jail card though 🤷♂️
I have always liked Tim Ryan. He was very direct here. 😅
He really wasn't. And this is why he lost. Listen to what he said again. Everyone can agree with everything he just said, however, he gave zero possible solutions. Solutions and leadership to get change to happen is what we need. Not more status quo and placating speech.

I wish I could send in a question for this week's Overtime, but I left Twitter, so apparently no can do. The comments on the Bill's HBO-sponsored blog have been disabled for so long I can't remember when, and there doesn't seem to be any other channel. I think it would be a question for Bret Stephens, but there doesn't seem to be anyone really on target for this topic this week:
There is a big scandal "trending" about contaminated sushi. My theory is TikTok is driving it, and I think the Chinese can control what trends on Tiktok. Is this anti-sushi thing actually a politically motivated attack on Japan?
Maybe not even China's idea? Maybe Putin asked his buddy for the help?
By the way, it would be funny if the show mentioned the long-distance robbery scandal unfolding now between Japan and the Philippines. The gang apparently started as a kind of criminal telephone help desk based in the Philippines, but robbing people in Japan over the phone. Then they branched into robbery, recruiting the robbers still living in Japan via social media. The funny part was that the leaders of the gang were apparently operating the business from inside their detention center in Manila. "You can't arrest me because I'm already in jail!" The ultimate in chutzpah?

The reason we don't talk to each other about solutions is because of the divisive agenda the political parties foster by constantly highlighting our differences and providing reasons to fear and hate our neighbors. They know if we were to talk rationally with each other we'd come to the conclusion that we have more in common with each other than those who are supposed to be representing us and fixing problems. They can always find a way to work things out when they want to give trillion dollar tax breaks to billion aries however they can't provide clean drinking water to the people or fix broken infrastructure. They always have money for the military industrial complex but they can't afford to fix the homeless problem or provide a safe environment for our children to learn. It's easy to fix 90% of the problems if they actually cared about them however there the problems that only poor people have not the wealthy like the majority of our politicians.

No idiot whoo whooing every 10 seconds helps!
@@JD.......... What do you mean? I thought his interview with Frances Haugen was very insightful.
Bill, When it comes to Gun safety everyone that touches the Gun, fake or real, should be responsible. When the gun was given to the actor they should have been trained and shown how it worked and why it was fake. And unless you intend to kill, even a fake gun should not be directly pointed at a living being, ever. You can point at an area next to the other actor and look like you’re pointing it at them with the right camera angles. So that this doesn’t happen again everyone that touched the gun that day in the set should do at least a minimum sentence.
Do you have any idea how many films have been made, all over the world? No one that I can remember ever got shot to death, accidentally. As usual this is blown way out of control and common sense.
Accidents are just an abbreration. No body wanted this. Stupid as they were.
People are overweight for MANY MANY reasons not just calories in - calories out. They also don’t want you to accept they’re fat, they just don’t want to be shamed as they go about their lives. It’s very very difficult to get this under control especially when the doctors don’t know what they’re doing you said so yourself. I had to lose over 100 lbs. living with the lowest self confidence, which manifests into high anxiety, which became a propensity to reach for food ultimately addiction. So after getting to the root of all that I have the right perspective and don’t use food to medicate anymore. 😊🌹
That's a weird take from Bill. I can understand the public health concerns, but he's angry about medical decision and treatment options for the obese. It's their body, and that's between the patient and a bariatric doctor. He's a comedian with great fat jokes, but this gives the impression that he's "punching down."
It’s Overtime!!!!
Now this is how we fix debate in America! Just have calm conversation with a sense of humor.
I like your show better with a 3 guest panel, more opinions = better options
But less time for all parties to get a word in edgewise. If this was a podcast format where it could go for hours it might work but remember that 20 minutes is taken up by the monologue and first interview, then 10 minutes for New Rules and editorial, plus 5 minutes for the in-between gag. That's 35 minutes already taken up for an hour show. To be able to discuss these very nuanced and complicated subjects requires long explanations especially if those on the panel disagree. It would instead become something akin to cable news where everything is compressed into sound bytes which runs the risk of the greater nuance being lost in transit.
@@TheMeditorEditor - yeah, that doesn’t work very well in the Capital building now does it
@@TheMeditorEditor they need to cut the muddle joke segment and new rules. They really need to do an overtime only episode every season
You're a few years too late...and we love it just fine.
My favorite episode in months!! Bill was on fire 🔥 Awesome panel, hope they all come back again.
I don’t have a gas stove so just want to say it’s been kept quiet for years about the fumes they emit in the atmosphere I know friends who are heath conscience that always put them outside on patios or Lanais I believe the gas & oil companies have again been “gaslighting” us.
Regarding Baldwin, as someone mentioned, he is a producer of this film. If he was just an actor, I am very doubtful he would be charged.
He was one of many producers. Hollywood often names the top actors as producers, especially if they have put up some of their own money, to make the film, which Baldwin did do. That doesn't make him responsible for casting and hiring. And none of the other producers are charged. Why not, if being a producer makes one liable?
Thanks Mr Bill for the teenie tiny little clip. Always appreciated. I'm gonna look for a full bootleg. I need the whole show. Bill is part of the gravity that helps keep me grounded. Txs 🍁
You can hear the whole episode in podcast form on the real time podcast.
@@DiviAugusti I didn’t know this. Thanks
This is NOT a 'teenie tiny little clip'. This is the shorter, last segment of Real Time that is only shown on TH-cam. Bill's been doing this for YEARS. Pay attention!
Thank God for this new show. Last week with Bill Barr was a major flop. William, do not have those traitors on your show. I love Tim Ryan.
Agreed. A travesty that JD (Jerkoff Douche) Vance won.
I have to admit when I read your comment I was picturing Paul Ryan. Then I saw Tim on the show and remembered who he was 😅
So you just want a left-wing echo chamber where anybody you disagree with is a "traitor". It's a good thing Bill doesn't listen to people like you and other political correctness.
@@FervAnimalLover Bill Barr was a traitor. He acted as the president's personal attorney, not the Attorney General of the US. If you can't see that I have to wonder if *you're* the one wearing partisan blinders 🤔
Ignoring traitors won't make them go away. Debating them is the best way to prove one's own ideas are better than theirs.
...and the human trafficking, too!! It's really bad here in Houston.
Bill has become an old school Republican.
Old school Republicans are anti-gay, pro-Christian, and anti-free speech. Bill is hardly any of these. Maybe stop being excessively tribal and think that everyone who is critical of wokeness is a Republican?
It's just that Dems have moved so radically left and he didn't, so it seems to some like he's gone to the Right. Same with a lot of traditional Dems (like me)
It tells you how much the Left veered to the left
libertarian, and libertarians are Republican Lite. they'll never admit it, of course, but libertarians are closer to "every man for themselves" extreme capitalist Republicans than they are like democrats. libertarians are republicans who like drugs, that's it.
@@jimdandy6452 citation needed. if dems were liberal or had any power, we'd have universal healthcare, UBI, and student loan forgiveness. we don't have those basic things. sit down.
My question is how did a real bullet get in that gun? The same thing happened to Brandon Lee
Actually Brandon Lee's incident didn't involve a "real bullet" that way. They made their own dummy rounds (no armorer) for a scene and one of them actually partially fired and the bullet was stuck in the barrel. Later, when they used it with blanks, the blank propelled the shell and...
@@dreamcoyote ...the suspense is killing me...
So imagine if you had a complete imbecile whose other job was a Nick Cage film which he complained about guns also going off on set and then you get this job and the rules are so loose that you have target practice on the same set lol (all speculation but some rumors)
As an actor, no, Alec Baldwin should not face criminal charges. The armorer should.
As a producer, yes, Alec Baldwin should face charges because there is evidence that he may have been aware of the armorer’s negligence and would have been in an authority position to deal with that.
Thank you, I've been wondering about the Alec Baldwin thing too; it doesn't make sense to me either. He's an actor; actors pick up the guns they are given and pretend to shoot people with them -that's their job. Why would he have had reason to think it would be a problem? My question was why are there ever REAL bullets on movie sets in the first place?
1. He was also a Producer, and thus partially responsible for the corner cutting. 2. Reportedly he refused to show up for safety training. 3. You never point an actual gun at another person and pull the trigger--which the FBI said happened. There are ways to make it LOOK like you did without it actually happening. 4. This was not even a scene: it was just rehearsal. 5. Regarding poetic justice, maybe Baldwin's enthusiasm for putting Dick Cheney in jail for a hunting accident was misplaced.
I'm with you! This makes no sense to me.
When you are holding a deadly weapon, the buck stops with you. Yes, several people failed, but you also failed.
📌👆Tell Mr Alfredsmith my trader🆙I linked you to him he'll introduce you to the business I do to earn massively❤…
Exactly. Prop gun or not. If it "can" be used as a deadly weapon - it is a deadly weapon.
That's not how movie sets work. The armourers dont even WANT actors fucking with the guns because half of them dont know what they're doing. It's literally not the actor's job.
This is why he is being charged with involuntary manslaughter. He shot someone to death. It's up to a jury or plea deal to decide now.
@@celinenaville you couldn't be more wrong. EVERY SINGLE PERSON that touches a firearm om set is responsible for safety. The industry requires the training be given to EVERYONE involved. In this case, the armorer and others started the problem rolling in two VERY bad ways. 1)using working firearms on-set instead of readily available prop guns 2)having live ammo within 100 MILES of that set knowing there were real guns used in filming.
As a producer he's responsible for protocols being followed.
Simple as that.
Protocols weren't followed
Acountability has been an ongoing issue in America since 2016, eh Bill?
accountability has been missing in America since 1860. when a group of southern white slavers did want to obey the law of the land. slavery which was legal in 1619,1719 and 1819 was no longer legal in 1860. it was legal and still is in most of the populated world. its only illegal in the british empire and former british colonies'. these southern whites after they "lost" the civil war found ways to use laws to keep slavery alive after Andrew Johnson allegedly sold out the blacks in 1876 to get elected president. he made a dirty deal with the the whites only Dixiecrat's. midnight the day the trains pulled out with the last union soldiers jim crow and juan crow came riding in. The KKK kept order and the blacks could not vote. allegedly black women did not get to vote until 1964 in the south. the Dixiecrat haven't changed much since 1860 except they became republicans starting in 1964. strom thurmond 8 term southern democrat senator changes sides and becomes a republican. now we got Marjorie Greene, ted cruz, paul gosar, coach tuberville working against America and for their fascist price gouging corporations.
Bill you need Jon Stewart on the show.

I agree totally with Bill. Baldwin should not be charged!!!
Good to have Tim back in the fold. Ohio and the country needs him.
Ohio fkkd up by electing that fraud Vance
Ohio rejected him
NO THEY DON'T. HE'S AN IDIOT AND A LOSER. HE'S NOT PROGRESSIVE. THAT IS WHY HE LOST.
He tried running as a fake Trumpist democrat
Maher gave him a third degree on losing but he actually did pretty well in a reddish state in a reddish year, in a poli sci/over performing sense.
If Baldwin gets charged you can bet there will be another level of safety on movies with firearms.
One can ask what projectile ammo are doing on a film set in the first place? what is it for?
if anyone gets charged it will be the weapons handler.
@@solomonshv Baldwin and the armorer have both been charged. The question or proper word is to find them guilty. 🙄 (People can't even get the language right and these are the kind of people we put on juries. No wonder prosecutors win 98% of the time).
📌👆Tell Mr Alfredsmith my trader🆙I linked you to him he'll introduce you to the business I do to earn massively💓
@@solomonshv But atleast two people handeled the weapon, Baldwin and the one prepping the guns on the set.
Let Columbo sort out the Baldwin case.
The fact that he didn't do it in purpose is the definition of involuntary manslaughter
Mens rea. Look it up.
There also has to be negligence.
Thanks, Matlock 🤣
Tim Ryan needed billboards across the state asking why Johnson spent 4th of July in Moscow in 2018, instead of celebrating at home.....
He's from Ohio & ran against JD Vance.
We have an opportunity to have a renewed focus on child safety.
No one is saying "come one come all...we don't care how bad you are". There is no grand bargain to be had. Republicans simply need to fear monger to get elected.
Five million illegals disagree and millions more clearly believe the administration has hung out the welcome sign.
Great panel, good subjects, and now I feel depressed, because everything is heading to the wrong direction,still enjoyed the episode. 😂
If someone hands you a gun capable of firing live ammunition, you should make sure you know the status of it. Especially if you're going to violate the gun safety rules. Even for actors.
I can answer the question, Bari: Armists shave the triggers to make sure the hero NEVER looks like they're straining to pull the trigger. Something similar happened to me at a theme park wild west show. He is innocent.
Who was the ARMORER ... not ARMIST by the way? Do you have any clue about what you are talking about? Doesn't seem like it.
The ARMORER was uinion, and the union had walked off because of abuses on the set, including the staff playing with the guns. When they left Management, which included Alec Baldwin, decided to continue filming with a person pretending to be an armorer but did not know what they were doing.
And kf course Baldwin didn't shoot anyone on purpose. But he was incredibly negligent. Boss takes the fall, Bill.
I think the Alec Baldwin thing is another distraction. Largely due to the fact who put the live ammo in the gun? Why was there any live ammo anywhere near the set? Who put the live ammo in the gun?? This is the number one question.
Movie prop guns often have modified actions for various special effects.
One popular example of this is the series The Rifleman starring Chuck Connors. They made three of those carbines, each one a little different as they refined it. The action was modified to automatically trip the trigger via a set-screw custom built into the action lever.
Similarly, single-action revolvers (virtually all revolvers used during the 1880's, the era during which "Rust" takes place, were single-action) used in scenes where the actor or stuntman is "fanning" the hammer while the trigger is pulled will have the trigger sear completely machined off and smoothed over so the nervous actor doesn't ruin a $50,000 shot by forgetting to keep the trigger pulled while he fans the hammer at hip level. That happened a lot before they made revolvers purpose-built for fanning.
If Alec Baldwin was handed one of these guns, pulling back the hammer and then releasing it -- which would normally just rotate the cylinder and engage the trigger sear to hold back the hammer until the trigger was pulled -- would just let the hammer fall home and its firing pin would strike the primer, thereby firing the cartridge.
That's how things worked until the 1960s, when better firearms engineers designed revolvers to use what is sometimes called a "Transfer Bar" or a "Safety Bar" which sits between the hammer and the firing pin. In these models the firing pin is no longer connected to the hammer but rather sits inside the frame itself. The Transfer Bar is connected to the trigger, so that when it is pulled, the Transfer Bar rises to come between the hammer and the firing pin. The only way to hit the firing pin and thereby fire the cartridge is for the trigger to be pulled all the way back when the hammer falls. This also prevents accidental discharges from dropping and mishandling.
Obviously these Transfer Bars do not exist on the 1880s revolvers used to build these "fanning" prop guns, and so any time the hammer falls home, the firing pin is struck and, in turn, strikes the primer in the cartridge and fires the cartridge.
I hope this helps.
Alec is not new to firearms as he used to hunt. Regardless, he's an adult that should have known better especially since he's anti gun. 18 months is disgusting but much like Jessie getting to walk out of jail it just proves the hypocrisy in how our legal system fails regular people.
@@tihspidtherekciltilc5469 There appears to have been confusion as to what version of the revolver was handed to him. They are all supposed to look absolutely identical, so there very well may have been no way whatsoever for him to tell. Handing a hot firearm to an actor is entirely the armorer's fault. IIRC, this is even stipulated in the production contracts.
Very informative but moot to the quintessential rule of firearm safety that must be observed regardless of all variables such as the persons handling, the type of firearm (modified or not) or any of the reasons that anyone can give. The rule being "check the gun." It takes seconds to do and you can never be wrong for doing it.
@@sunnywynn56 wouldn't matter if he checked it.
@@dyloniusofsparta I think you are referring to, where did the live round come from? I haven't made this tragedy a hobby, but 1) can you tell at a glance that round is not a blank? 2) were any live rounds being used to anybody's knowledge on set? It's interesting, but all this about firing characteristics doesn't answer the Question, why was there a real dadgum bullet in that gun?
Its your own resonsibility to check any gun you hold in your hand!!
Amen.

Except if it's a prop gun... he's still guilty for the death, as an accident.
If Alec Baldwin intentionally fired the gun, you’d never think he did it intentionally because he is a professional actor.
