It was an old-timey Western with a modern, real-life tragic ending. A crew member was shot and killed while filming the movie “Rust” in New Mexico. As we’ve covered here on The Newsworthy, actor Alec Baldwin fired the antique revolver that killed cinematographer Halyna Hutchins and injured director Joel Souza.

Authorities say an assistant director told Baldwin the gun was "cold," meaning it didn’t have any live rounds in it, before he pulled the trigger. But that wasn’t the case. Investigators now say they think the gun did in fact contain live ammunition. But they’re still investigating and deciding who, if anyone, should face criminal charges.

To get a better idea of what may have gone wrong, and what should have happened, I’m talking with the president of the American Society of Cinematographers, Stephen Lighthill. He’s also sharing his memories of Halyna Hutchins since she used to be his student at the American Film Institute.

Public fights over masks and COVID-19 vaccines seem to be happening more often these days and there’s at least some data to back it up. The FAA says the number of unruly passenger incidents is already 2 to 3 times the number from all of 2020. Most of them are over mask-wearing.

In retail stores, managers have had to train staff how to deal with screaming customers. And we’ve probably all felt the tension just talking with friends and family who may disagree with us. Today, we’re diving into why this is happening more these days and how to handle it, whether it’s on a plane with strangers or around the Thanksgiving table with loved ones.

We’ve brought Dr. Tania Israel back on the show. She’s a counseling psychology professor at UC Santa Barbara and the author of the award-winning book “Beyond Your Bubble: How to Connect Across the Political Divide.”

Dr. Israel explains how to de-escalate these fiery situations and shares tips for having more productive, caring conversations with people you disagree with. Plus, the words you should never say to another person, especially during a heated exchange.
