Good evening and welcome to Joe Scarborough presents. As we move closer to the primaries, donald trump remains the dominant frontrunner, according to the Morning Consult tracker. He is nearly 40 points ahead of his closest rival, Florida Governor ron desantis. And there is real apprehension about what a second trump term might look like. This morning, the New York Times published a frightening article that gives us the best look at how far donald trump may go with his obsession with authoritarians and personal political loyalty. According to the times, trump and his enablers plan to, quote, alter the Balance Of Power by increasing the president s authority over every part of the federal government. If trump wins, they plan on stacking the government with trump loyalists, regardless of their personal or professional limitations. Its going to look a lot more like 2019 than 2017. They will bring independent agencies like the fcc and the ftc, quote, under direct president ial control. The times reports the ex president wants to revive the practice of impounding funds, a nixonian practice of refusing to spend Money Congress has appropriated for programs the president doesnt like. Kind of like not giving ukraine weapons after Congress Authorizes it. And trump intends to strip Employment Protections from tens of thousands of career civil servants, making it easier to fire them if they are deemed obstacles to the trump agenda. Its a move that could undermine confidence in the Civil Service system while consolidating power in the white house in a way weve never seen. For more on this frightening development, we are joined by the host of inside with jen psaki, jen psaki. Princeton University Professor eddie cloud junior, and Special Correspondent for vanity fair, molly eddie, let me start with you. There was a time when i was a republican that we would say, the government, the governs least governs best. What we have here is a convergence, isnt . It a time where actually authoritarians are coming together under the brand, the Republican Party brandt. Because even, joe, when republicans were saying governments that governs least governs best, and they were still putting the argument for an imperial presidency, when we think about next, and the scope of Executive Power that informed not only not simply about breaking into the opponents headquarters, its also about the scope of what the president can do. What about bush 41 . Bush 41s bill barr, supposed to be a safe pick. He comes in and he believes in the imperial presidency. Trump believes in the imperial presidency. Suddenly its okay for donald trump. He starts thinking to arrest joe biden two weeks before the election and he orders barr to do it. Unchecked president ial power. Unchecked Executive Power. That, i think, informs this interesting moment of conversion, as you rightly described. Well, actually you told me before the show, but yes please, give me the credit. Its not just about trump about a bad actor, someone not committed to the norms that govern our society. Its also that corporate interests, about deregulation. Its about deconstructing the administrative state. Even folks who think hes a grift or, even folks who understand him to be a bad actor will support him because here we have these you are talking about the convergence, its not just trump. I want to talk about how this is also money for trump. But first, lets talk about another republican. You look at the top two republicans right, now the two republican leaders, lets throw a bit in there as well. You have these people, these authoritarian impulses. We would also say conservatives, the government that is closest to the people, that is the best government. Suddenly, you have abbott and other republican governor saying, we will actually stop local control. Its in conflict with what the central state does, no, we are against that. If you look at the socalled free state of florida, they have a i have a very good friend ive known for years that has worked for the florida Republican Party that said to me this past weekend, the free state of florida . What is free about it . If you are the tampa bay rays, a baseball team, and you tweet sympathy about children gunned down in uvalde, ron desantis says he will use the state to punish you. If you are disney, the largest employer in the state, ron m going to punish you because you want to celebrate diversity. If you are a cruise line and you go, actually, i dont know, you want to keep your business open, so you want to have safeguards during the height of the pandemic, ron desantis says no. If you are a Small Business owner, the republicans, when i was republicans we were supposed to like Small Business owners, he wouldnt let Small Business owners past safety mandates during the height of covid. I mean, this guy is a top down centralized state authoritarian. Its what trump is talking about being. Shock of all shocks, these republicans are hypocrites. It is not the free state of florida. It is not the first date of trump. It is just the opposite. Its top down, centralized government. Exactly. Also rhonda scent is has given an entire speech and talked openly on the trail about how he wants to go past article two and expand president ial power beyond what its ever happened in the past. He was almost for that on the Campaign Trail before trump was for it. But to your point that you started with, republicans have historically been for smaller government, less role of government in peoples lives. And it is the opposite right now. What we are talking about right now is centralizing power in a way that will allow them to have greater control over everybodys lives. By the way, again, for people who have not followed closely in the past, when i get the congress, we all said, lets take as much money, power, and authority down to the local level as possible. That was an obsession. It is just the opposite now. I, mean Anne Applebaum with her book about the death of democracy, the twilight of democracy, described this. This is happening in hungary with orban. Its exactly what donald trump is talking about. Just on the finances piece, this is an obsession of mine, donald trump, you think ftc, fcc, you mentioned this in the opening, people may think that doesnt matter, what is of concern is he can pardon himself. That is definitely of concern. But also what he is talking about here and what that article outlined in a frightening way, donald trump could have control over regulating companies, making it better for some companies and harder for others. He can have political yes. He can target people he doesnt like politically. He can also target companies to hurt them for his own financial benefit. Do you, know molly, ceos in the state of florida are horrified, horrified that ron desantis is going to come after them. If they do anything that comes close to being inclusive. Like chickfila, and they are even going after chickfila now, i dont know if you guys saw this segment, it was basically like we will be nice to people. We are going to want we want everybody to feel welcome if they work for chickfila or come to chickfila. Certain suddenly, they are on the hit list. This is the legacy of trumpism, right . Its this crony capitalism. This lack of belief in real free markets. You see it again and again. Trump put his finger on the scale all the time. And also, you are seeing the lack of regulation play out. I mean, you are seeing it concretely. We are seeing trained or ailments. We really have seen this happen. Nobody cares about regulation until there are accidents and spills. I think it is really important to remind viewers about that. That is really a big deal. You are so right. This is crony capitalism. The rich are getting richer. I, mean the monopolies. I always said this story about during covid i had a friend who called me up who has a lot more money than i do, he goes, you need to invest in the stock market. I said, i dont do that, im dumb, i lose money, i put it under my bed. I go, but what stocks would you invest in . He goes, invest in the monopolies. I go, the monopolies . He was dead serious. The monopolies. Google, microsoft, apple, facebook. He went down the line. Like, they dont regulate monopolies. They love the richest people in america not pay taxes. The richest multinational corporations. This has nothing to do with free markets. This has nothing to do with giving Small Businesses starting entrepreneurs a fair and free chance. Its about helping the richest 0. 001 . The donor class. You saw this in wisconsin with ron johnson. He had this massive reelection and was working on these tax benefits for wisconsin. Weve seen this everywhere. It is really quid pro quo. Its totally disgusting. Also, if we will talk about this, we should talk about how members of congress and members of the senate should not be trading stocks. Because that is such a conflict. And i dont know, i dont know, called meal fashion, but if you are sitting on the Supreme Court of the United States of america, you should at least report hanging out with billionaires and have cases that come before the Supreme Court. Really quickly, you said something really fascinating before we went on the year. You said trump world was thrilled with its horrifying times piece. Why . I think they like strength. I think it makes them look strong. I think there are people, they just want him to win. Again, it is like this adam piece. The cruelty is the point, right . They dont care about the legislative priorities. And they are not policy people. And they just want to win. If their guy feels like he is powerful and he wants to win, i think that is what they respond to. There is such a disconnect here. He lost in 2017. 2018, 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022. They are still losing in 2023. You look at wisconsin, i really think that the two greatest political earthquakes over the past couple years have been kansas and wisconsin. The Supreme Court race there, it was supposed to be neck and neck and its not like conservatives werent saying this is the most important race in wisconsin in years. And they get crushed. Heres where i think sometimes we lose the threat. Trump is not running because he cares about policy. He is running because he wants to prevent himself from going to jail and pardoning himself, potentially. Hes also running to maybe pad his pockets. That is why he is running, it seems. Hes not deeply steeped in policy. He is not showing a real desire and passion about policy issues. And then there is just a team of people going along with. When this New York Times story pointed out the fact that what we saw in areas of the trump turn, what weve seen in the campaign so far is people who are following along to get along, going along to get along. They are not going to stop him from abusing power, from expanding power, from using the fcc to manipulate help companies, hurt others, et cetera. Hold it right there. You brought up something i want us to get into. We will go to you next because you talked about what is happening in georgia before we came on the air. It is so obvious. Donald trump understands, i mean, even people that have been like kissing up to him for years have said that if he is guilty on one count, thats basically a Life Sentence, right . So hes got to win the next election. He is all in. When he wins, hes got to consolidate power, the authoritarian, or else. And we will talk about that also. We will also be talking about whats happening in georgia, what may be happening in new jersey as we are talking about indictments when we return. Ah, these bills are crazy. She has no idea shes sitting on a goldmine. Well she doesnt know that if she owns a Life Insurance policy of 100,000 or more she can sell all or part of it to coventry for cash. Even a term policy.

Special prosecutor, after the most corrupt president in the history of the United States of america, joe biden. [applause] and the entire lock him up named special counsel. The most corrupt president in the history of the United States, who could that be . Who could that be . There is donald trump last month in a speech following his 37 count federal indictment Special Prosecutor to go after joe biden and his family . Doesnt make sense. We are back with msnbc host jen psaki, also and vanity fairs eddie, the most corrupt president in history, this is not even close. You look at all the people indicted in the Trump Administration and who were charged. You look at the documents case where, again, one count, forget the 37, one count is a Life Sentence for him. You look at a possible new jersey case which would be even more dangerous for donald trump when it comes to freedom. You look at the January 6th Case and you know its coming. But right now, looks like what is next, georgia. And you say, donald trump and those around him should be a very nervous. Wonderful piece in the Wall Street Journal i dont want to hear you say that. Written by cameron mick warner. I think jen wulf. Really a profile of fani willis. In some ways, it describes her as a no nonsense prosecutor, a workaholic. She didnt go into the specifics of the case. Lets just say this. She was clear that shes coming with everything. All the receipts. And for the Wall Street Journal to end this piece by saying, Donald Trumps people should be aware of who she is and they should be concerned. There are so many reasons to be concerned, molly, right . Its a state case. Donald trump tried to pardon himself, we dont know if he will be able to do that or not if he gets back in the white house. I doubt he will be able to. But even if he could, cant do it in a state case like georgia. He also has new york state. He also has all of these the e. Jean carroll case. He has a lot of legal problems, which is why he is running for president. Remember, he declared early because he thought it might prevent him from getting prosecuted. I do wonder for him, you know, i wonder if he will keep going with this. What is interesting to me about him on bidens he is saying the same things about biden he said about hillary clinton. Right. Right . Like, he led chants about lock her up about hillary clinton. It is just beyond you know who else did . General michael flynn. What happened to him . Lying to the fbi. I mean, its incredible, isnt it . As highlands a, its either confession or projection. That seems to be exactly whats happening with donald trump. You look at hillary clinton, they always said lock her up, lock her up, lock her up. They are saying that about biden, the socalled biden crime family. Theyve got nothing on anybody. They never have. Like we always say on the show, if hunter has done something wrong, charge him send him to jail. Right. The trump appointed prosecutor. But again, speaking of trump prosecutors, donald trump was president from 2017 to 2021. He didnt bring any charges against hillary clinton, did he . That was his Justice Department that kept saying, there is nothing there. Yeah. If i were sitting on the trump team right now doing communications, lets say, the thing that would also make me nervous is, remember in the weeks leading up to the maralago indictment, and we were all talking about how horrible it is to mistreat classified information, weve seen the reporting. And then the indictment came out and it was shockingly worse. It was so much worse it was so much worse. Nuclear secrets nuclear secrets. 31 specific code clearances, et cetera. The legal process, we will see what happens in the georgia case and what jack smith has on january 6th, has been working as it should. Meaning, yes, there is excellent reporting. But most of it is not leaking out of these prosecutors offices. So if they move forward, we learned a great deal more than we do before. I had interviewed jamie raskin last week and he said, im interested in hearing what jack smith has about these highlevel conversations because we didnt have time to get to that level of detail. And they did a lot of the january 6th committee. My point is, indictments, if they are coming, are going to have a lot more detail, they will give us a lot more information. And in all likelihood, the past president of the last two or examples. Isnt it fascinating we have the mueller report, the two impeachments, the people went away from it going, hillary gets away with it, it never turns out what it was advertised. It seems with these prosecutors, these federal prosecutions especially, its always worse than we imagined. And you look at georgia, i suspect, remember the grandeur that went around on her victory tour afterwards, what she was saying suggests not just donald trump but a lot of people have reasons remember, Fani Willis Put in a record requests to all the judges to clear your dockets during these days. Because a whole bunch of people will be circulating through the Fulton County courthouse. This is a crazy thing. Lets just circle back to where we began with authoritarianism, strong leaders. This Republican Party is supposed to be the Law And Order party. Law and order, Law And Order. They are supposed to be you know, the republicans used to always rail against the church commission, whale against hippies against the fbi and against the military. Theyve become these trumpers have become these authoritarians have become everything that they hated. What weve seen is trump consolidate power in the Republican Party. He tried to install loyalists, which is what we saw with the senate races, right . He put his people in. A lot of his people could not get elected. Herschel walker. I mean, the very few j. D. Vance, right, in ohio, in the really Red State Of Ohio managed to get elected. Dr. Oz got elected await, im sorry. The gubernatorial government we didnt work either, did it . Hes trying to consolidate power and it hasnt worked because trumpism doesnt scale. Now we are going to see if he can win back the white house. Trumpism doesnt scale. Thats a perfect way to put it. Molly, thank you so much for joining us. Greatly appreciated. With jen and eddie, stick around, we will be right back. We will take you behind the scenes of Christopher Nolans oppenheimer, a film that will be the summers biggest blockbuster. It has an extra double matt damon, emily blunt, Robert Downey jr. , and we have them all here. Before you see the movie, watch our exclusive interviews, next. My husband and i have never been more active. Shingles doesnt care. I go to spin classes with my coworkers. Good for you, shingles doesnt care.

The sweltering Summer Nights of my childhood always bring back memories, like walking into a Movie Theater with High School Friends and watching summer classics like, i dont know, jaws, Steven Spielbergs 1975 classic. One of my favorite Summer Movies of alltime, 1981s raiders of the lost ark. Of course, forrest gump came along in 1994, that classic. Or marvel universes smashed Box Office Hit that my kids and i went to see together. The avengers, that was way back in 2012. The Theater Experience meant more than relief from the heat. It brought us together as communities, especially in small town venues, for a shared purpose, laughter, gasps, as billy joel one, said to covid dealt a blow to this cherished tradition, shattered the unity of these shared experiences. But filmmakers want you to know that they are back. Along with the summer blockbuster. One of hollywoods most gifted directors, christopher nolin, has put together his latest movie, oppenheimer, with a clear message in mind. The cinematic experience is back and its better than ever. It demands that the theater going public get back together and watch these movies on the grandest screen possible. Oppenheimers packed with intense and an exceptional ensemble cast. Cillian murphy is oppenheimer the renowned father of the atomic bomb, alongside matt damon, that leader of the manhattan project, emily blunt plays oppenheimers wife, while Robert Downey jr. Takes on the role of oppenheimers nemesis, luis straws. This film, produced by universal pictures, the Sister Company of msnbc, is going to be released later this week before the actors strike started. I had a privilege of sitting down with christopher and his remarkable cast. This is a national emergency. We are in a race against the not sees. The german army is invincible. We have to recruit scientists. Build a town, build it fast. Im going to work here. Women, children now i am become deaf, the destroyer of worlds. You are a man who gave them the power to destroy themselves. Its always a thrill when i see one of christophers movies. Theres been this incredible range. Youve taken the lead, not just any lead role but the lead role in one of the most defining figures, really, of our time. Yeah, it was. It was an absolute gift and i didnt expect it. I know the way chris works and i know what he expects, the level he expects and the rigor he demands and the amount of preppy demands. There were so many elements to it. Physicality, the voice, the kind of iconography of the pipe and even the way he walked, all these things. We just worked out the details. Can you talk about the timeline of this movie, how accelerated . We had to shoot relatively quickly, but what myself in my director of photography, we figured out early on that the energy of this story all comes from the performances. So we sort of went back to an early period in our careers where there is no monitors, no play back, and no fussing around. We are really just putting the actors in the scene, experimenting with it for a couple hours and moving on to the next scene. I mean, we were all in the middle of the new mexican desert in this one hotel. It was awesome. It was like summer camp because we could all have dinner together. It was very lowkey. Except for cillian. Except for cillian. He went home and had an almond and had a bat. He doesnt have a lot to lose, but whatever he had it extremely disciplined and we invited him to dinner every night in the whole cast would go and eat and cillian would not be there. No. Emily blunt said it was like summer camp. Maybe for her. I was going to, say maybe for her. Everybody would come together and eat at the end of the day. They had a few margaritas but i didnt. We have this guy who is brilliant and yet he meets his wife to tell him, get him there, keep fighting. Seems at times his head was in the clouds. In terms of oppenheimer leading the manhattan project, he certainly wasnt the obvious choice. They called him the great synthesizer, oppenheimer, because there was many things he could do. You put a lot of things together. But he was not a natural first choice. When they gave him the role, he was extraordinary. Kitty saw that in him as well. I dont know if you can be trusted, but i know theyre not sees cant. There is a really morally complex film. You get closer, you sort of have this sick feeling in your stomach because you know whats about to happen. I mean, the key thing when you study the history of the manhattan project, there are a few surprising things that come apparent. The first being it was the germans who split the adam prior to world war ii. There is a race that starts. It becomes apparent whats going to happen when theyre not quest for world domination, they had to do this. Before the not seized it. Why dont you have a noble price . I have to be a general. They are making me one for this. General groves was the man appointed to head the manhattan project. The relationship between oppenheimer and General Groves was fascinating. They were opposites and yet they acquired a mutual trust. The general had a really complex relationship with oppenheimer. Where oppenheimer, obviously, he was scientists, he wanted cooperation, international cooperation. But the general, obviously, and needed to be all about compartmentalization. Talk about that friction between the two. Obviously, you dont want this stuff getting, out you are worried about, spies russia. The scientists are taking the absolute opposite approach. There was this natural tension between the military and the scientists. Groves, i think, felt like he was hurting cast have the time, just trying to keep everything where it needed to be. Just logistical undertaking of making this happen was really amazing. And yet they figured it out. The buddy movie if that buddy movie was moving towards an atomic bomb. Are we saying there is a chance that when we push that button we destroy the world . The chances are near zero. Year zero. Its the theory zero would be nice. They figured out how to respect each other. How do appreciate each other and like each other. They did. I think groves was a really sharp guy also. He went to m. I. T. He wouldnt mind playing adult in front of the scientists. But he knew what was going on and he understood the science. Really a masterful call putting him in charge of the project. The russians have a bomb, we are supposed to be years ahead of them but what were you guys doing . Was its security tight . The story requires all of these characters, some of which are obviously household names, like cillian playing oppenheimer. And then there is the last known folks that i found really compelling as well. Like getting to play strauss, who was a really fascinating american character. Strauss was one of oppenheimers nemesis. Late 1953, luis straus, the chairman of the Atomic Energy commission, orchestrated Robert Oppenheimers downfall because of his opposition to the building of the hydrogen bomb. So much of strausss actions in that movie was driven by resentment, wasnt it . Resentment of oppenheimer. I think resentment underneath it. I just love the idea that a rivalry or a feeling by someone you admire can lead to the kind of actions that occur. So you were a biologist. I have graduated to high swipe. In the summer of 1940, kitty prune he met Robert Oppenheimer and they had a tense partnership. Kitty, in the movie, the first half of the movie, you are a holding the martinis or streaming baby. But something remarkable happens in the second half. This betrayed wife becomes his fiercest defender. What a force of nature she was, considering the time. That she lived. I, mean she really was a monumental presence in his life and his intellectual confidant in a huge way, and not a natural mother. I think that was sort of obvious. Take my baby, please. Please take this child, im not good at this. I had a lot of empathy for that. Many women who sort of went to waste at the Ironing Board back then, when i think she was meant for greater things and i think drove herself insane in the isolation and loneliness and living in los alamos with nothing else to do but to drink and her children. Its also like living within the same apartment building, its how emily parents in real life. She brings her kids the screaming child and a martini. Matt, do you want to hang out . Yeah. The detonator is charged. Three, two, one. Four years they were walking on what they called a gadget and all of a sudden became a weapon. It went from being something theoretical to this extraordinary weapon of mass destruction. The Industrial Mite and scientific candid connected here in the secret laboratory. I think it is cillians ability to play the duality of the character and the fact that his intention was like dancing between raindrops at the end as this thing became bigger than him and he lost control over what happens to it, what happens to this creation now. He loses power over that. And you, do you feel for him. Youve seen the trauma of living with a brain like. That you have watched it. Build a town, build it fast. We will let scientists bring their families, we will never be the best. This ambition in life was to somehow combined his passion for Quantum Physics with his passion for new mexico. And of course, this is how he did it. By suggesting to General Groves that they should build a secret city in los alamos. Its a three 60 set. When i walked down it, you feel like it just hit you. The reality, they drew this town up in the middle of the desert. Thats where he felt romantically attached to this place. Its amazing. Thats always the case with courses films. The actor experiences the film as the character would. Christopher, we will talk about how meticulous he was on details. I heard down to the coat and the tie that you were wearing. Everything. He liked that is a director, as far as your movements and what you do. Even though he was sure i should be wearing this yellow tie, he was also incredibly free in his a lack of judgment about many of the other details. He said, just trust that all the details are going to be accurate and we will go for something truthful. I said you are holding a martini and a baby for half of the movie. Ramy malik, i dont know if Christopher Nolan knew this or not, but he won an academy award, he held a clipboard for like two hours. I think just the willingness of everybody to show up and be a part of this type of excellence is what chris invites. Its what he is known for. I think all of us wouldve shown up to do a scene. His level of attention to detail is just really fun to be around. Yeah. He is just so particular about everything. The research, the amount of work that has gone into the script itself. I read it, i was like this is one of the best things ive ever read in my life. Do you think this movie is more timely now, probably, than any time since the cold war with Current Events . I mean, obviously its entertainment. Its a big summer film, but its a little different than the norm in that i think it activates these constellations of existential dialogue. I mean, we are still living in the atomic age, for better or worse. Its quite a coincidence, this biography from 2006, Walter Isaacson wrote the Einstein Biography in 2007. And of course, the two connect throughout the movie. But the thing about walters biography of einstein that fascinated me so much as he said, you know, einstein wasnt the greatest mathematician, he wasnt the greatest guy in the lab, but he visualized things. Like that theory of relativity, he visualized lightning striking the train at the same time. And it wasnt something at the board. It was his imagination. About math, its also about intuition, and the Intuition A Physicists is not entirely unrelated to the intuition of artists. That is the key to oppenheimer. Its about relatability. Thats a very important part of the breakthroughs that have changed the world. Oppenheimer was a very highly intelligent, extremely empathetic human being. He says, well, the trinity test was successful, this weapon is now going to be used on a japanese city. These poor Little People are going to be the victims. August 6th, 1945. Not a single plane carrying a single bomb opened the age we now live in. After trinity and after what happened in japan, he repositioned himself afterwards to try to figure out where he stood. Its a very unusual journey to take where you its really interesting to play. I think it is much more human because none of us are clear cut, definitive in what we believe to be right all of the time. I want to ask you, christopher, about sort of the return of the summer blockbuster. We grew up raiders of the lost ark, back to the future, ghostbusters, Empire Strikes back. We have really moved away from that. I got a sense yesterday, for the first time, and that this is a movie and that is really going to drop people back. I think there is always a wonderful place in the culture for the big screen, for oppenheimer. I chose to shoot large format film, imax film. We want to put the story on the biggest screen possible, bring people together and have them go through this mans extraordinary experiences. It was an extraordinary experience, an extraordinary movie in imax. Ive never seen anything like it before. Eddie, this story is so compelling, you saw the peacock documentary about oppenheimer. Just being moved by, obviously moved by this as well. I am become deaf, the destroyer of worlds. What is so striking about, it at least the documentary, is that he thought the atomic bomb, the scale of its devastation could and war as such. If we saw what we were capable of, thats why he insisted that we had to drop the bomb on a town. Not often some desolate area, but on people. It is so naive. There is nothing about Human History which suggests, nothing about the history of the west which suggests that the atomic bomb would be the place where we stop. Thats why they went to the hydrogen bomb. He realized it immediately. Immediately. And jen, watching this movie, there is so many things, extraordinarily compelling movie but also disturbing. One of the things i kept thinking about as we sat there was a i technology. Yeah. The fact that when the atomic age came about, the government was there, they protected americans and the world from the worst of all of this moving forward. With a. I. , it is again the culture, this Silicon Valley trust, trust these people who are microdosing every day. There is an element of history that repeats itself. There is an element that teaches us. And there is moral questions about policy making. We saw that in this movie, which ive not seen yet. Im looking forward to seeing. A. I. Is a perfect example. We will be at a point relatively soon where a. I. Technology has cognitive ability beyond humans, it can start to make decisions beyond being directed by humans. And that should scare people. It can also do wonderful things, solve health problems. But it can end up in the hands of bad actors. And there are big moral questions there. This whole solution of, its, fine let it be free in the world, and there is big consequences and repercussions. Watching this movie, its what you couldnt escape.
