<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Actor </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/alec-baldwin"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Alec Baldwin</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> claims most Americans are “uninformed” about the real world. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The 66-year-old </span><span style="font-weight: 400;">made his feelings known while speaking at the Torino Film Festival in northern Italy, where he was honored with a Lifetime Achievement Award.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Television news in the United States is a business. They have to make money,” Baldwin said during his speech, per </span><a href="https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general-news/alec-baldwin-turin-film-festival-rust-shooting-americans-know-nothing-1236070459/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">The Hollywood Reporter</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;">. </span></p>

There is a gap, if you will, in information for Americans,&#8221; the actor said on Monday. &#8220;Americans are very uninformed about reality, what&#8217;s really going on — climate change, Ukraine, Israel &#8212; you name it. The biggest topics in the world, Americans have an appetite for a little bit of information. That vacuum is filled by the film industry. Not just the independent film industry, not just the documentary film industry&#8230; but by narrative films as well.&#8221;</span></div>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A reporter for THR asked specifically about the incoming Trump administration, which Baldwin answered indirectly without mentioning President-elect Donald J. Trump by name.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“There are many challenges to face,” he said. “The environment, the problem of plastic, of permafrost: There are plastic molecules in every corner of the planet. These are the real problems to solve.”</span></p>

<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Baldwin continued, “It will be necessary for every building to have an alternative energy component. Every hospital, school, airport and government building will have to have photovoltaic panels on the roof. We must force states to work on alternative energy sources. But we will never get rid of oil and gas. Can you imagine an ambulance car or a fire department car that runs on electricity and has to be refueled at a charging station?”</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The one thing the actor refused to discuss was the </span><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/mother-of-cinematographer-killed-on-set-boycotts-rust-premiere-says-alec-baldwin-will-profit"><span style="font-weight: 400;">fatal shooting</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> on the set of his movie, “Rust,” when a prop gun Baldwin was holding discharged and killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins. The movie premiered this week at the Camerimage Film Festival in Torun, Poland, but Baldwin did not attend.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">A New Mexico judge dismissed an involuntary manslaughter charge against Baldwin, who has multiple civil lawsuits pending, including one from Hutchins’ mother, Olga Solovey.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">“Rust” armorer Hannah Gutierrez-Reed was convicted of involuntary manslaughter in March and received the maximum sentence of 18 months in jail.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Baldwin has maintained all along that he was not responsible for Hutchins&#8217; death.</span></p>
