Actor Nick Searcy (Fried Green Tomatoes, The Shape of Water, FX's Justified) was present on January 6, 2021 when a speech by then-President Trump and a peaceful protest erupted into mayhem as agitators broke in to the United States Capitol. In the new documentary film Capitol Punishment, Searcy and director Chris Burgard look at what happened the day of the violence, but also what happened after, as federal law enforcement began arresting dozens upon dozens of attendees of the rally, including many who did not participate in the siege. Searcy shares his own observations from that day, as well as why he thinks the riot was a setup by bad actors to potentially -- specifically -- cause loss of life.

When actor and noted liberal activist Alec Baldwin accidentally shot and killed the cinematographer and injured the director of a low-budget western he was producing, the questions immediately began: How did an apparent live round get inside the gun? Were safety protocols ignored? How experienced were the gun wranglers? Now, he's begun speaking out about the incident, and is insisting that the tragedy wasn’t his fault, even though the gun was in his hands, loaded by a crew he hired on a production he was bankrolling. Actor Adam Baldwin (an extremely distant but negligible relation) has a reputation for playing memorable tough guys in action-oriented roles, including Jayne Cobb in the TV series Firefly & its theatrical sequel Serenity, Animal Mother in Stanley Kubrick’s Full Metal Jacket, Casey in the hit action-comedy series Chuck, and other supporting roles in films such as Predator 2, Wyatt Earp, Independence Day and The Patriot. It should come as no surprise that he’s got a lot of experience with using firearms on set, and has worked closely with the armorers and propmasters whose job it is to keep actors and crew safe. Adam joins the program to talk about his experiences using firearms on film & TV productions, and why he feels Alec Baldwin is so desperate to deflect blame for his own reckless actions.
