three, two, one. >> gary tuchman joins us now. so did larry say if people sometimes get too close to weapons before being fired on a set? >> larry says that happens. he gave me one example in a movie he was working on. there were actors who were s.w.a.t. team members so a lot of people had guns. he saw one guy pointing the gun in kind of the wrong direction, and he yelled cut. that is an armor's job. it's interesting, next time you watch a tv show or movie and you see people with guns, keep in mind the armor is very close to the people with guns. they stay out of camera range but they stay as close as possible to the people, to the actors with the weapons. >> gary tuchman, appreciate it. thank you. >>> coming up next, what new whistle-blower testimony and internal facebook papers reveal about the social and political damage facebook causes and the financial incentive it has not to stop it. >>> later, why the president might prefer to get out of the country now as he tries one last time to get his fellow democrats to agree on huge
