Hollywood star Alec Baldwin called Americans “very uninformed” about the realities of climate change, the war in Ukraine, and other globalist issues, saying their lack of knowledge is deliberate and willful. “Americans have an appetite for a little bit of information,” he said.

"You know what's going on from the news, but information in America is driven by money. It's a business," Alec Baldwin begins at the Turin Film Festival, where he is the recipient of a Lifetime Achievement Award. "That's why there's a void in information on the biggest issues in the world. Americans know little or nothing - on climate change, on Ukraine. That void is filled in part by the film industry, by documentaries and narrative films."
