5 trillion up to 100 trillion, we are definitely all dead. So something is too big for sure, but it's not too big yet. It's getting there. But if the only thing you did is keep it the same, you could limp along and inflate it away over the years. So you either have to massively increase taxes by massively increasing productivity or else you cut things massively. But your choices are some kind of massive growth and some kind of massive cuts. Now if you cut the difference, it would be something like you'd have to take the GDP from what is around three or four, you'd probably have to get it up to six or seven, which probably can only happen during the robot AI turnover. It could work the other way and reduce it, but I think in the short term it would be more. And then maybe cut things 10%. And you have to have AI make the cutting decisions because the Congress can't. So that's what you're looking at.

Hey, have you heard the Democrats say that Trump is only in it for himself? He's only in it for himself. This is called the projection alert. Projection alert. Where they accuse somebody of what they're doing. What do you think they think of Biden right now? So Biden is staying in the race for Biden, right? There's nobody who's a Democrat or a Republican, nobody who believes that he's staying in the race because it's good for the country. Not a single person believes that. What have they been saying about Trump? He's in it for himself. How's that work? Because it's so good for the Trump brand? That's not true. How is he in it for himself exactly? Unless you think he's going to steal your democracy. I don't. I can't even call it democracy. It's like a dumb crazy. Have you noticed how much democracy and dumb crazy sound the same? It's our democracy. Crazy democracy.

Anyway, so I think even the Democrats are starting to write, wait a minute, something's going on here. It would seem to me that Biden's only in it for himself. It would seem to me that Trump is like Jesus and he is sacrificing his brand, his maybe his life, and his reputation and his business to help the country survive. Now maybe he's doing it for his ego, but don't they all do it for their ego? I mean that's always part of it, right? You think Biden doesn't have an ego? Everybody's in there for the ego.

But there was an MSNBC guest who repeated what I call the Gutfeld observation. They didn't credit him of course because it's MSNBC. But they basically were saying out loud, why do we keep pretending that Trump is an existential threat at the same time we're running the only person who will surely lose to him in '24? How do we explain to ourselves our own messaging that Trump is a threat to the existence of the world, and we're not trying very hard to replace him? In fact, we're doing the worst thing we could possibly do if that's what we cared about. How do we explain that?

Well, apparently there's some evidence from people who are Democrats who are finally admitting that they are not worried about a Trump presidency at all. That's right. You wonder, are the Democrats lying, crazy, or evil? Turns out that more and more of them are admitting they were just lying. They do not in fact fear an existential threat from a Trump presidency. Do you know how I knew that? Here, let me show you how I knew that. I'll prove it to you right now. I hope. Otherwise this will be very embarrassing.

You prove it by looking at the stock market. And let's see what the stock market looks like. We'll just take you since... let's take the stock market since we learned for sure that it was going to be Biden versus Trump. And then we learned for sure that Biden had a very low chance of winning and it was going to be Trump. So scary Trump was going to end the world. What does that do to the S&P 500? Right up. So the stock market, which is a collection of all the smart people, no worry whatsoever. Because that's pricing Trump into the market, because the market is a forward-looking measurement. So when the market is confident and solid, it means that they are not worrying about Trump ruining things. It means they were lying.

Now here's the fun part. Since we know that Biden was obviously demented and has been for a long time, and we know that most of the media on the left was saying, we don't see anything, no problem. Yep, don't see a problem here. It's one of those rare times when both Democrats and Republicans can tell that they were saying things that weren't true. That the people in charge of the truth, the news and the politicians, now we both know it, right? Everybody knows it. So that's where it gets fun. Because if everybody knows they were telling us what wasn't true, what are the press who was saying it and covering up for it, how did they explain themselves? Well, the only two possibilities are that they were lying or they were stupid.

If you're a member of the press and your only choices are to explain your behavior by saying I was either stupid and didn't notice the dementia, or I was lying and I wasn't dumb, I was just lying, I was a weasel. Which one will they pick? It's an easy question. If you're in the press and you admit that you lied, there's no penalty. When was the last time you saw somebody lying about the news and losing their job? There's no penalty for that. But suppose you said I didn't notice. Then you just look like the dumbest person in all of politics. Really? You're the only person who didn't notice that? How do you not notice that?

So you have this situation where you can see it already. It's starting. The press is scrambling to confess that they lied because the alternative is that they were really, really stupid. And that's less survivable than lying, because they work in an industry where lying is so ordinary it's not a risk. Think about that. Being stupid in public is always a risk, but lying in public, as long as it's clear that they all did it, totally survivable. So the weird thing is you're going to see people rushing to confess that they were lying because the alternative would be worse. I love this summer. I love this summer. Yeah, there might be some cognitive dissonance, but I think they actually know exactly what happened and why.

All right. Let's see who's stealing whose democracy. This would be another projection alert. Projection alert. Well, Jen Psaki says in a post, it's not helping the Democrats' case for democracy when Joe Biden's campaign is premised on the idea that it doesn't matter if he is senile in office. Then who are we voting for and how is that democracy? So here's another prominent Democrat voice saying, wait a minute, the things we're saying and the things we're doing, they don't line up at all. They don't line up.

All right, so let's go down the list of Democrats stealing democracy, and then we'll do Trump stealing democracy. This is going to be a little bit of a spoiler, but you probably didn't see this coming. But the list of things that would be Democrats stealing
