cret Service destroyed the evidence, meaning the bag of cocaine. But then separately I saw that that would be the normal process for the Secret Service because the Secret Service is not an investigative Department of Justice kind of an entity. And I saw somebody say that their ordinary process if they had found a bag of drugs that they knew belonged to the family they wouldn't take it and give it…

So everybody understand that you've got an appropriations process and you also have a rescission process. So I went to Grok and I said, "Can you explain to me, Grok, all the different parts of the budget process? Like how many different things are there that are some word I've never heard before that mean this is some part of the government process?" And here's what Grok said. I won't tell you what all these are but just so you know how many different things there are you've got budget resolution, you've got a reconciliation bill, you've got an appropriation bill, you've got a continuing resolution, you've got supplemental appropriations bills, you've got rescission bills, you've got a debt ceiling bill, you've got an authorization bill. And you need to know the distinction between mandatory and discretionary spending. And you have to know what a filibuster is, where you're going to have to get your 60 votes and when you can get it with 50 and they all have their own little rules and process and the rest. So when Speaker Johnson says he's going to do something in the fall to codify it, I don't know. I don't understand any of that stuff. And I've got a feeling that even the members of Congress just barely understand it. You know, like Thomas Massie probably fully understands it. And then if you said to me, "All right, name somebody else who fully understands the budget process," I would say, "Did I mention Thomas Massie?" Yes, you did. Okay. Well, there's Thomas Massie and then there's, well, I'm done. Yeah, it's a mess.
But none of it's going to matter because Google just announced that a quantum machine with fewer than a million qubits could break basically RSA encryption in under a week. So your Bitcoin and your bank accounts are completely vulnerable and there's nothing you can do about it. So under the current trend and I don't know what would change it, we're just sort of casually being told that all of our money will be stolen sometime in the next year or two, and there just won't be anything we can do about it because the quantum computers will be able to break any encryption. Great. Great. Could you throw us a bone and at least say, "Oh, but our AI will stop that from happening." Will it? I don't know. Will it? I'm a little bit worried about this quantum encryption stuff.
Meanwhile, the Tate brothers are in the UK. They've got 21 charges against them. Andrew and his brother Trist

an. 21 charges including rape and human trafficking. Do you think that's all real? Probably. Because the things that they've talked about publicly would be pretty close to evidence for some of these crimes. So I don't know. I think it's a combination of there's probably something political going on, but at the same time, there may be enough evidence that they're in real trouble. So we'll see. Wel…
