Hello everyone, welcome to today's September 19, 2026, Lude Media Dr. Yan's segment. Come, let's take a look at what new things have happened over the weekend; there are quite a few. It seems President Trump didn't rest over the weekend either, right? And the "sticky rice balls" (CCP) side didn't rest either, so there is a lot of new content updated on our Lude Media official website. President Trump held another press conference at the White House yesterday, Friday, right? It was mainly about medical prescription drugs, but since President Xi is visiting the U.S. next week, reporters were very focused on this matter. And President Trump clearly wanted everyone's attention to be focused here. So, two excerpts regarding President Trump's response to President Xi's visit were selected here. Take a look, anyway, there's no way to escape now, right? Trump is going to personally go to Andrews Air Force Base to welcome you. The last time a U.S. President went to Andrews to welcome a foreign head of state was around 1959 when meeting the former Soviet Union; that was Khrushchev, and he also personally went there to welcome him. So, look at that timeline, and then look at what happened later. After the Cold War, right? Look at the miserable state of the Soviet Union when it finally collapsed! Of course, the CCP shouldn't expect to wait that long! There won't be decades given to you, right? After all, as we said, you are different from them; you are crazier than they were! Who can compare to you? Alright, let's see what the reporter asked. The reporter asked: President Xi Jinping is visiting here next week, and China is one of the countries with the strictest news censorship in the world. What signal does this send?
I think this reporter was probably trying to ask about freedom of speech, right? Isn't that it? The implication is, when the press conference comes, how will questions be put to Xi, and will there be any issues? Is that it? I guess the reporter's question was whether you would hold a press conference? And will Xi be allowed to face the press directly, right? Because China censors the news, will Xi accept that? Otherwise, it's hard to understand his question. However, it's very clear that Trump didn't intend to follow the reporter's logic. Trump just continued to respond in his own way. He said, 'Oh, I think it's pretty harsh here too; we have fake news everywhere. Although we don't suppress the media, they fabricate fake news all day long.' Look, this statement is very interesting. Didn't Trump just say yesterday that he wanted to kick CNN and MSNBC out? Today, Trump used that momentum to actually continue scolding these fake news media outlets, right? Isn't Trump's point that China's news censorship is harsh, which in reality means China is full of fake news? And Trump said, actually, it's harsh here too, right? It's not that our officials require others to create fake news, but we have fake news all day long here too, right? These official media—well, not official media, but the mainstream media, pro-CCP media, and anti-American media—are just like those fake news media in the CCP, lying through their teeth all day long. So, Trump's retort here was excellent. Then Trump said, 'Oh, I think Xi will come, and we get along very well.'
You see? Trump started by telling everyone that he knows Xi doesn't want to come, and Xi is trying every way he can, right? Procrastinating, acting coy, and even playing the victim. 'Oh, I'm not feeling well, I have a headache, a stomachache, a butt ache'—it's useless. Trump said, 'He will come!' I can get along with him; our relationship has always been good, right? In reality, it's just that when I pull this guy, he has to come over. It's like when you go out to feed a stray cat, right? Some stray cats have a fierce temper, and if you go over, they won't come near. Trump's point is that if I feed it, it comes over; if I call it, it comes over, because I am in control. Trump said he will be here next week. I can tell you clearly that Xi has no escape, right?
It's a pity that the grand ballroom hasn't been opened yet. If it were open, it could accommodate thousands of people; squeezing in two thousand for dinner wouldn't be a problem. Everyone wants to come, but unfortunately, we only have an extremely small room now, holding at most about 125 people. I'm not exaggerating; thousands of people want to attend this dinner, and tickets are too hard to get. I've already told many very close friends, 'You really can't come; it's impossible to arrange.' Listen to that—does Xi want to see that many people? Everywhere Xi goes, he just grins foolishly, right? Think about it, including when he goes to the BRICS or SCO summits, when others are chatting, even if they have some common English, they can understand, right? So, including what he says himself, and in those settings, observing everything is a way of gathering intelligence. But when Xi goes to those settings, he's like a mute, like a deaf person, right? His interpreter can't translate everything everyone else is saying or doing around him. So, Xi is naturally uncomfortable in such settings. Trump insists on poking him here, saying, 'Oh, there aren't many people, just over a hundred, right?' when thousands or tens of thousands were supposed to come. He's making this visit to see Trump sound very nice, giving Xi face. Look, so many people want to see you; can you really not come? At the same time, if you were Xi, wouldn't you be nervous? If you had to take an exam and you hadn't prepared anything, knowing that you'd likely be made a laughingstock during the interview, and instead of thousands of judges, there were only a hundred or so people watching, if you were that examinee, wouldn't you be scared to death?
So you see, Trump knows how to talk, right? It sounds nice, but in reality, every point is a sore spot for Xi. Trump said, 'We will have a very positive meeting when the time comes; we are going to have a good meeting. We get along very well, and we handle our relationship with China very well.' If you ask me, someone else might have messed it up, but I get along well with China, and I have a good personal relationship with President Xi—such a good personal relationship. Trump bought soybeans for 20 years, and then turned around and let the virus come over. Such a good personal relationship—Trump was fooled by Xi's words during the COVID-19 pandemic, thinking it was just a small flu. At the end of April, President Xi told me that the small flu would pass, right? Coupled with Fauci working from the inside, it almost killed Trump, right? If that's a good relationship, if he dares to claim second, no one dares to claim first, right?
Then the reporter asked again, saying whether you look forward to reaching an AI security agreement with President Xi, or carrying out related negotiations? Look, this is a question the Chinese Communist Party really wants to know the answer to, right? For an AI agreement to be reached, the premise is that Trump must approve it; you can't let AI overthrow the rule of the Chinese Communist Party and the core of Xi, right? Otherwise, as yesterday's New York Times front-page article said, if you don't understand China's concerns about AI, you can't talk to President Xi about this. So look, Trump said, we are going to cover multiple different agreements, definitely not just going through the motions. We are coming with a clear purpose and will hold several important meetings. Hey, let's mention this first—if you watch Trump's remarks all the way through, there is no mention of AI at all. But Trump took this opportunity to express very clearly: I know what I'm doing! You guys, whether it's the CCP, the media, or these acting forces, don't think you can shove the words you want to say into my mouth, right? Look at how recently this talk about AI and Xi has filled all the pages, as if overnight everyone thinks Xi is a responsible leader. Things that you, Trump, can't solve, you have to rely on Xi to make promises with you together. Oh my god, it's hilarious, isn't it? Ah!
And there's also that, all those things pushed hard by the CCP! The so-called pharmaceutical supply chains cannot decouple from the CCP! Pharmaceutical companies all hope to continue cooperating with China and doing R&D there; otherwise, Americans won't have medicine to take, or something like this requires a good talk with Xi. Hey, all kinds of matters require Xi's help, so Taiwan's arms sales and whatnot—oh, they must be brought out as bargaining chips. Let's just say, it's impossible for you to make a demand and for the US to just agree, are you kidding? Unless that is a trap where the US wants you to come over and make demands, understand? Furthermore, the issue of arms sales to Taiwan has always been progressing steadily. Originally, we hadn't heard that a new major deal had to be signed before September 24. It's just the Chinese Communist Party putting a gloss on Xi's face here, right? They brought this matter up, but Trump ignored it, saying I have all my own thoughts, and it's not up to them to decide, right? And now they are hyping this wave up again, which actually means there's nothing else to hype. It's like, for example, you invite a neighbor to your home, right? To discuss something. Then this neighbor says, hey, you can't go out to shop, right? Before I come to your house, you can't go out shopping. But you might not have planned to go out shopping five minutes before he came to your house to talk anyway, or maybe you couldn't pick up the kids; you might have originally arranged to go out shopping and pick up the kids after talking with him. Isn't that how it is? Therefore, the so-called visit of Xi to the US that the Chinese Communist Party is constantly hyping—that Trump will abandon arms sales to Taiwan, or delay them, or whatever—is itself a false proposition.
Trump completely ignores this stuff; whatever AI or Taiwan issue, you name it, right? Trump said, you know, China is paying us massive tariffs. You might remember, I once raised tariffs to 145%; hey, back then it was too high, hitting them extremely hard. I didn't want to go too harsh at the time; we were getting along very well, very harmoniously, very well. Hey, look at how these words are spoken here, right? Look, English spoken in the US—most Western languages actually have past, present, and future tenses. So Trump here means that back then last year, I raised tariffs on him to 145%, but at that time I didn't want to be that harsh, right? What does this mean? Didn't Trump actually sign the Graham Act during yesterday's press conference? Ah, the Luther Rule of Law show has already explained it, for at least two episodes now, hasn't it? It has been explained very thoroughly, right? We don't need to elaborate too much for everyone; go watch the explanations on Luther's show. I'm just saying, once this Graham Act comes out, from the current tariffs on the Chinese Communist Party to the many Section 232, 301, and other tariffs that haven't been applied yet, up to the tariffs that can immediately be raised to a maximum of 100%—what are all these added together compared to 145%, right? So it's very obvious, isn't it? That is, here, Trump's meaning is that last year I didn't intend to give them a 145% increase back then, which doesn't mean I don't want to increase it now, oh. Now I've signed that act, and not increasing it would be unjustifiable, wouldn't it?
So Trump is using the past tense here. And then Trump also said, look, Trump took the initiative. You posted that thread about the CCP conducting espionage activities against the US, and then Trump said we are also keeping an eye on them regarding this. At least as far as I remember during this period in my show, within a month, or at most two months, this has been mentioned at least for the third time. And then Trump still took the initiative to say, now some people are saying oh, they are conducting espionage against us. I said maybe, but we are also conducting espionage against them, you know? I don't want to reveal any classified or secret information, but we are monitoring them just as well. Someone said, Sir, they are monitoring you, and I said we monitor them too, that's really how it is. Did you notice? Trump doesn't fall into the traps set by reporters' questions at all. Trump's main strategy is: your keyword is you want to ask me about China, right? About China, this is what I'm telling you. We have a purpose, and we clearly know what I want to achieve by calling Xi here this time. And because I have a good relationship with Xi, he, Xi, practically has to kneel, because I understand him too well, I know how to manipulate him, and nobody else can handle this matter. Furthermore, regarding this tariff issue, what wasn't added in the past doesn't mean it won't be added to you now, right? There are even more tools in hand now. The CCP wasted money pushing so many lawsuits, thinking that striking down a certain emergency tariff would solve everything and they could rest easy. But it turned out that striking down IEEPA, haha, resulted in even more coming. Even the judge said, either you just directly decouple and sever ties, instead of just pulling wool from the exact same tooth, right? So Trump said, I understand, I have new tools on hand now, and every time he emphasizes, what does the CCP's various infiltration and espionage against us even amount to? Us keeping an eye on them, that's what you call ruthless! When monitoring each other, who has more capability, who has more of these modern technologies? Right?
So with these words, every sentence you listen to, Xi's heart must definitely have had a spasm somewhere every single time in the past, oh, it wasn't just like sitting on pins and needles, it was practically like his heart was wrapped in a layer of shell covered with needles, and every time the heart moved, it had to poke right onto those needles. Look, the US side signed the Graham Act, such a huge matter, yet the CCP actually didn't dare to discuss it much at all. Today, they said the Ministry of Commerce responded, right? Guanchangwang, Global Times, and all of them are reporting it, but they are actually clearly avoiding the heavy and dwelling on the light. Whether our audience friends have listened to it or not, just by listening to Lude Media's analysis, you will know that this is a new era of treating the entire matter related to the CCP—you could call it a Chinese Exclusion Act, but actually it is an anti-CCP act, right? As long as you might have some connection with the CCP, right? Because the CCP is pulling Russia along on one side and holding hands with Iran on the other, we simply cannot cooperate with you on this matter, right? Because nowadays nobody can figure things out clearly, just like during counter-terrorism when you clearly know this person comes from a terrorist stronghold, how would you dare to act casually? With this law watching, especially government personnel and such, how would you dare to casually deal with these people coming from terrorists' hometowns? It's the same logic, right? That is, right now, you want to go do business with the CCP, no problem. But you must know that the waters on the CCP's side are not only deep, but they are also a black box. Because of its black box, whether according to common sense or according to actual operational rules, you have no way to avoid eventually being caught with entities related to Russia and Iran. Therefore, you only have one method, which is to quickly distance yourself and avoid cooperating with them; otherwise, this is a legal issue. You don't know—you might say you're taking a chance, but this thing, taking chances in front of the law, once one is caught, it won't just be a small matter of this or that. In the US, these are major events; who would want to risk their own life and livelihood to play dirty with the CCP? Besides, playing with the CCP ultimately comes down to making money, right? In the end, everything falls apart and ends up in vain, right?
So you see, the introduction of this Graham Act is, for the CCP, not just a heavy blow right now, but also an absolute limiting factor for 'Day Four.' It effectively preempts the possibility that, when Day Four arrives, the remnants of the CCP system—such as the surviving Leninist organizations—might think they can decentralize after being scattered. It's just like what they say about Iran, that 'Khamenei died, the Revolutionary Guard headquarters had problems, and Tehran was bombed, but it doesn't matter because we are decentralized, right?' Oh, can you really finish them off? The U.S. says, 'Yes, we can.' Not only can we finish you off, but I also know that you in the CCP have this exact mentality. You think that after being scattered, these Leninist organizations can go find revolutionary base areas, hide here and there, transform themselves, infiltrate the U.S., and then return to grow strong and make a comeback. The U.S. says, 'I have already prepared the Day Four act for you; it won't be that simple when you try to play that game.' How many pairs of eyes are watching this? There are rewards for reporting—this is essentially a bounty. Because when the Department of Justice investigates cases, they are also collecting rewards, which are reasonably turned over to the national treasury, right? So, it is equivalent to a bipartisan consensus in the U.S. to offer rewards. Any entity found to have ties to Xi Jinping will be investigated. You still have companies like Alibaba and WuXi AppTec filing lawsuits, claiming, 'We are not involved in military-civil fusion, why are you targeting us?' Really, this is why we say the CCP is always behind the curve, isn't it? Just look at the Ministry of Commerce spokesperson's response to reporters, and you'll know.
First of all, they haven't fully grasped the situation! I estimate that the 'dog-headed' leaders are still taking notes after listening to the Lude Media program, still considering which words they dare to report upward and which they dare not say, right? They don't dare to say the small things! And even if they watched it, what could they do?
Ah! Just yesterday we were saying, 'Oh, which media was it?' Was it The New York Times or something? Still talking about how 'AI almost made a wrong judgment.' If the U.S. military had boarded and inspected a Chinese ship passing through the Strait of Hormuz, thinking it was carrying nuclear proliferation components, that would have been a misjudgment that could have triggered a war!
Stop trying to gild the lily! Does the CCP dare to fight the U.S.? After a misjudgment, wouldn't it just be like Ah Q getting beaten? Old Master Zhao wouldn't have a 'misjudgment'; for Old Master Zhao, a beating is a sign of affection, a scolding is a sign of love—it would inevitably be the son beating the father, wouldn't it? How would they dare to take action against the U.S.? Just look at this act; it is an act that points directly at the CCP and is meant to give them a sound thrashing, right? It shows absolutely no mercy!
Does the CCP dare to say anything? Look at the Ministry of Commerce's response. What did they say? The reporter asked: 'On September 18, U.S. Eastern Time, the Graham Act was signed into law, comprehensively strengthening sanctions against Russia, extending sanctions against Iran, and explicitly allowing for secondary tariffs of up to 100% on third countries that import Russian oil and natural gas. Some commentators believe China will be one of the targets of U.S. tariffs. What is your comment?' The question was very gentle, right? Oh, it's more than just tariffs! As mentioned, this is just one part of that act.
That is the most widely known content of the act, but there are over 60 more pages, right? It's far more than just this one clause! Then the Ministry of Commerce hurriedly replied: 'We have noted the relevant situation. We consistently oppose this; there is no UN or international legal basis.' No, this is the internal affair of the United States! Why does it need UN authorization or international legal basis? When you in the CCP arrest people, gag them, and lie, you don't have UN authorization or international legal basis either!
Right? And then talking about sanctions against other countries? 'We demand equality and mutual benefit, we don't want this to happen. We will closely monitor the U.S. follow-up, and we reserve the right to take measures.' These are all boilerplate phrases, right? No matter what the issue is, this is always their response. They want others to 'meet them halfway,' they want others to do what? Then the Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson also said the day before yesterday that they 'consistently oppose long-arm jurisdiction,' and so on.
Do you see it? There is absolutely no originality; even the responses from different departments are identical. Just by looking at this, you know that after Xi came to power, how could he be confident and righteous enough to discuss these issues with Trump on equal footing? Isn't he just like an ugly bride afraid to meet her in-laws? Right? Just look at the CCP's empty rhetoric and you know they have no cards in their hands, right? Ah, thank you to our member George Guo for saying, 'Wishing the beautiful, brave, and wise Dr. Yan a happy weekend.' Thank you.
Alright, and look, such a big event, and it ends with just a bit of empty rhetoric? Another issue emerged today. What is it? On September 18, six major U.S. automotive associations jointly urged Trump to comprehensively ban the sale, import, or manufacturing of Chinese vehicles in the United States.
The White House responded to this by saying: "We are working closely with U.S. automakers to revitalize American automotive leadership while safeguarding national and economic security." Is this another heavy blow? To the CCP, which has been obsessively trying to bring its electric vehicles and such into the United States. Look at the six major automotive industry associations that have joined forces; it is said that the only major automaker that did not sign is Musk.
Right? That really shows that there is a distinction between those who are close and those who are distant, doesn't it? Musk's "father" is bloated and well-fed, and now he is being wined and dined in China, right? The beautiful interpreter they found for him—look, whether you like them plump or thin, the CCP has it all prepared for you. We could say that the CCP has no bottom line, even adopting a "father" that Musk himself doesn't acknowledge, right? And his mother is also shooting advertisements and endorsements there every day, right? Being fawned over. And Musk is over here—we don't even know how close his relationship with Yang Yang is now, right?
So you see, Musk didn't sign this. Usually, if there is something going on, Musk is always rushing to be in the spotlight, right? Look at the AI regulation issue; didn't OpenAI's Altman bring it up, and then immediately after Altman finished, Musk responded, right? Completely forgetting about the lawsuit he had with Altman earlier. Musk's lawsuit against OpenAI probably hasn't even been fully resolved yet, right? There are all sorts of loose ends he has.
Some time ago, just a few months ago, he was hell-bent on destroying Altman! Claiming he invested in them back in the day, and then saying that when they accepted his investment, they said OpenAI wouldn't be profitable, but now they are profitable, so Musk can't stand it. The implication is: "You have to listen to us," or "You have to let me acquire you," or something like that. Anyway, Musk is also quite the master of making unreasonable demands, right? But Musk isn't getting involved in this matter. Hey, that's very interesting, isn't it? So you see.
How about this? Let's first look at what is going on. These six associations are the American Automotive Policy Council, the Alliance for Automotive Innovation, the Automotive Free International Trade PAC, the Motor & Equipment Manufacturers Association, the National Automobile Dealers Association, and the Zero Emission Transportation Association. Logically, "zero emission" is also related to new energy, right? Yet they didn't stand on the CCP's side either! They stated that Chinese automakers currently have zero market share in the U.S., and once they are allowed to build production facilities in the U.S., it would be tantamount to opening a beachhead for them to break into the U.S. market at the expense of local producers.
Moreover, these associations unanimously believe that Chinese investment will never create new American jobs; instead, it will shift jobs from manufacturers that have invested generations of resources in the U.S. to enterprises owned and operated by the Chinese government. Hey, to put it bluntly, you come to China under the guise of revitalizing the American economy and helping the U.S. increase employment, but in reality, once you arrive, you dump products at low prices, destroying our competitive environment and ruining our industry, right? By then, it will be like a locust plague, leaving nothing behind. Hey, don't try to fool us; this is all the good work of your CCP, okay? Look.
This includes the Detroit Big Three—GM, Ford, and Stellantis—as well as foreign automotive giants in the U.S. like Toyota, Volkswagen, and Hyundai; they all participated, right? We have to say, the CCP is actually extremely furious about this! The CCP is jumping up and down! The Observer immediately responded, saying they are "panicked," and that the six major U.S. associations wrote to Trump to keep Chinese cars out.
No, who is actually panicked? It is perfectly normal for American industry associations to write a joint letter to the President. They aren't panicked; they are just pushing for the further consolidation and deepening of this policy. It is clearly you, the CCP, who is panicked! And the CCP is trying to change the narrative here in all sorts of ways. For example, the first sentence of the Observer says that last week, Trump told Fox News he would accept Chinese automakers building factories in the U.S. to produce cars. It says that as soon as these words were spoken, U.S. automakers panicked.
Are you kidding me? What did Trump actually say? What Trump said at the time was that if Chinese automakers come over and can produce in the U.S. with the U.S. in charge, and create jobs for American workers, then that might be acceptable, right? That is to say, if China comes over, just like foreign automakers such as Toyota, Volkswagen, and Hyundai, and once they arrive, they abide by U.S. law and cooperate with U.S. enterprises, then this would drive local employment and boost the local economy.
Then of course that's fine; it's not like the U.S. doesn't accept foreign automakers. Doesn't it ultimately come down to the fact that you, the CCP, can't do it? "I, your servant, cannot do it," so that's hard to say, right? So, before Trump "opens up China," this statement of his is just talk, isn't it? Look, what he mentioned to the automakers doesn't contradict this; the automakers mean the same thing—it's okay, but you must ensure the CCP can't come over here and play "unrestricted warfare" with us, right? Do you know what the funniest part is? It's that the CCP is truly the one panicking, because before this joint letter came out...
A week ago, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) was still happily saying, "Oh, look! Look at this, the lawmakers from the United States House Select Committee on the Chinese Communist Party questioned the cooperation between Ford Motor and China." This was reported by The Epoch Times, right? Their questioning stemmed from concerns that cooperation between Ford and Geely, CATL, and others would help CCP enterprises expand in the US or globally, endangering US security. The propaganda from the CCP side.
Oh wow, it was not objective at all; they basically regarded it as—last week, a bunch of CCP propaganda claimed that US lawmakers had concerns, but they were rebuffed by General Motors. General Motors refused the US lawmakers' questioning and firmly stood with Chinese automakers. The implication was, "Look! Look at this, the will of the people in the US is that automakers want the CCP to march into the US, right?"
And look what the CCP side was hyping up last week, right? It was mainly because Ford, in fact, during this period—including reaching a cooperative agreement with Geely Auto to build a joint venture in Spain, where Ford holds 66% and Geely 34%, using Ford's local factories to produce models targeting Europe. That's one thing. Then another thing is that Ford is cooperating with CATL to adjust some of its US battery plant plans, introducing CATL-licensed lithium iron phosphate battery technology.
Moreover, it was said that expanding this production in the US is led by Ford, complying with US laws. Of course, lawmakers questioning it is only natural, because CATL has military-civil fusion, right? It is currently on the Department of Defense's list, and Geely and others are companies the US has had its eye on for a long time. Asking questions is the right thing to do.
Ford's response—looking at how the CCP was completely fooled a few days ago, thinking Ford was standing on its side. Now do you see? When they need to write a joint letter, they write it all the same. Last week, during the hearing, the draft of their joint letter had already been written, right? You say they are building a factory in Spain with Geely Auto.
Well, even if they didn't build a factory with you, you would still compete there. Spain, right? That place is currently leaning left, and competition in Spain is fierce. Since Ford has a factory there, and it's sitting idle anyway, why not use it to make money? Right? There is nothing wrong with this. As long as the US hasn't declared that it wants to wipe out the base and target it as an enemy, Ford doing business with you according to local rules and so on.
Is legally not wrong. They are just looking at it from a capital perspective, right? Making an extra cent wherever they can, right! And as mentioned before regarding CATL licensing batteries, what did Trump say? As long as you can ensure that when they come over to do business here, they are regulated by us, monitored by us, and then create jobs for us, the US would definitely welcome this, just like automakers from other countries, right?
So in this, as for whatever tricks CATL and Geely are playing behind the scenes, well, that's their business, right? Ford right now is in a position where, since there is still a gray area—or even a white area—where money can be made, I'd be a fool not to make it, right? But when it comes to national security issues, if I need to slap your CCP in the face, I will still suppress you. And look, this is tantamount to on one hand.
Having the CCP cooperate with it on US soil, just like that CATL battery partnership, right? Making the CCP think it has an opening, while on the other hand, right? Your members of Congress come to question me, Ford. I really don't want the CCP to use this opportunity to harm US national security, but relying on myself alone is not enough, so I turn around and push for legislation together with other automaker associations, pushing for your supervision, right? You, the national government, have to shoulder this responsibility.
It's like you can't just rely on Trump to issue executive orders, right? After Trump signed this bill, he doesn't need to issue executive orders for many things regarding tariffs anymore; he can free up his hands to do other things, right? He is the commander-in-chief, after all! Right now, he is expanding military production. What do you think he is freeing up his hands to do? Directing wars, right? As for tariffs and all that on your side, the CCP—how it should be punished, it will be punished; how it should be manipulated, it will be manipulated. This is mainly up to the judicial departments, right? It starts running automatically. The machine is already turning. In fact, it's equivalent to seeing, right?
Automakers are pushing on this side, and on the other side, the secondary sanctions related to Iran and Russia have already hit the production line for the CCP, entering mass automated production! And as for eliminating the CCP, those actions started even earlier. When the US national strategy shifted last year, right? It was already written in the national security strategy released.
That the CCP is an existential threat, and therefore the CCP must be eliminated. So do you understand now? The strikes against the CCP are now top-down, from your ideology to your organization, to your various manifestations. The US is constantly plugging leaks, and it's just a matter of getting things done step by step, just like advancing an army, right? Advancing step by step, and once it gets there, it immediately starts automatically, protecting the entire place directly, and mass-producing results.
Like a tidal wave, it is going to crush all those unrestricted warfare tactics and strategies that you, the Chinese Communist Party, have built up, and smash every single infiltration node you've set up. See how the United States plays the game? Becoming clearer the more you watch, right? Ah, so you say Trump isn't saying our meeting has a clear purpose; there are things to discuss, and then there are other things to discuss, right? And we just.
Spying on the Western Communist regime, keeping a close eye on them just like they keep an eye on us, right? Watching everywhere, I just have to see what they are up to! Oh, really thinking about it, how do those Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps types and others in the mountains of Iran operate? What kind of name tags do they wear? What is written on the name tags? Which person does it correspond to? The United States can see it all clearly using satellites. You say you're going to mess with the Western Communist regime?
That's practically the equivalent of turning on a reality show every day to watch! Right? It's even more multi-angle and all-encompassing than that! Ah, the Xi Communist regime thought they were running their affairs so shrewdly, but in reality, the US treats it like watching a reality show. Oh, from this perspective, right? Guest commentary: look at these two people, putting on a polite act in public while plotting behind each other's backs. From that angle, look at him trying to build up a persona, while actually scheming in his heart. Oh, just talk about it—once this reality show comes out, is there anyone who still doesn't understand? So Xi is now leading the CCP every day to put on a reality show in front of the US, and ah, the US side.
Striking you right on target every single time. Are people still saying the US is losing its temper? What would the US lose its temper over, right? They just go ahead and do what they are supposed to do. The ones who are truly losing their temper are the Chinese Communist State. What's going on? Just two weeks ago, they still felt that their car companies entering the US market were once again within reach, and they were even rolling up their sleeves, planning to bargain with the US side during the Trump-Xi meeting.
Hit with a bolt from the blue like this, you tell me if they are stunned or not! And today I'm going to show you something fun! Today is the weekend, so I'll show you something relaxing. Look at this, have you seen this? This is what's going viral online today—people carrying all this equipment on the street, not self-media creators, but fake news. Didn't Trump say yesterday that CNN and MSNBC would be kicked out of the White House? Fake news. No one expected it to take effect so quickly, did you see that? The equipment in here is very professional, because this is their White House press corps equipment, which has always been allowed to be kept inside the White House so they can report the news, do live broadcasts, and conduct interviews at any moment.
Look at them now, moving around like homeless people, just like freshmen starting school who haven't figured out which dorm they live in yet, having to leave everything outside. This is outside the White House, filmed by passersby after they were forced out. Oh, it's hilarious. Nobody expected this—CNN and MSNBC, people and equipment alike, thrown out onto the sidewalk outside the White House, and they were still running around looking for handcarts because more equipment was seen being hauled out from inside the White House. Besides this, there is another video where a CNN reporter even broke down while reporting, because this reporter himself—he should be a White House correspondent, and as a result, he found out today that he was banned from entering the White House. In other words, when Trump said this yesterday, they clearly didn't take it seriously, assuming Trump was just blowing hot air, so they went to the White House the next day as usual, ah, doing whatever they normally do.
So this reporter was standing on the sidewalk, saying in a complete breakdown—listen to the whole broadcast yourselves, his emotions completely broke down—saying, "I put my things at the security checkpoint to enter the White House, swiped my badge, the camera watched me walk in, and then the camera started beeping beep-beep-beep-beep and lit up with a red light, rejecting my personal identification code. And then they told me my pass had been deactivated, with no further information provided to me." See that? They actually thought Trump was joking, so this bunch of fake news reporters—just look at them, just like the CCP, acting just like Guo Wengui who for twenty-four hours before he was arrested thought he had won completely. Guo Wengui was still acting arrogant right up until the day before he was arrested; even when the FBI raided his 18th-floor apartment, he was still there inciting arson and doing live broadcasts, thinking that once he went in, the organization would still look after him. This reporter is just the same, thinking to themselves, "Oh, we're not afraid of you, Trump! We are CNN! We are MSNBC! We have this and that kind of support, right?" Oh, actually, tracing it back to the source, the vast majority of it comes from the Chinese Communist State. Look at that, now they let you see: you go the next day thinking you can swipe your card to get in, and you and your equipment get thrown straight out together. That is too funny. Trump has already said you no longer have access to the White House. Now you know, right? What Truth Social says doesn't mean it can't be verified, and it doesn't mean it isn't an order.
And the key point is, as everyone is saying, if MSNBC and CNN are in such a miserable state, then surely it's Political against Political, because they aren't primarily video media; they are mainly print media, or electronic in the sense of websites. So they probably don't have that much equipment, and surely Political couldn't get in today either. The point is, you know, just look at all the stuff scattered everywhere; it couldn't be more embarrassing. Let me explain a bit: these White House press corps reporters, they have these badges and can go in anytime, just like going to work. And their equipment, workstations, communication gear, and so on, are all kept in the media workspace on the West Wing of the White House, specifically provided for them. You can pile your stuff there and use it when needed. And haven't you noticed? White House correspondents are usually on the North Lawn, right? Doing live broadcasts or explaining things—well, that's reserved for them. It's essentially a dedicated workstation for reporters where you can produce your segments at any time. But look at the large equipment released on-site today; you can see a lot of it, including what I just saw—those large hard-shell black cases, and so on. See that? They're even pushing them on handcarts, not knowing where to put them. Honestly, these people should really thank President Trump for cleaning up the security in D.C. over the past year or so. Otherwise, with the way things were in D.C.—people robbing things for no reason, beating people up for no reason, and even life-threatening situations—during the few years of the Biden administration before Trump's return, the security in D.C. was far, far worse than during Trump's previous term, wasn't it? There were frequent street murders, random shootings, and the like. Let's just say, if they had put their equipment out back then, I tell you, they might have even captured footage of themselves being robbed; that would have been truly satisfying. Now, at least the security is quite good, right? Oh my, I don't even know how these people managed to move their stuff out. Think about it, the reporters didn't even know they couldn't swipe their badges to get in; they were stopped only when they arrived. So, do you think the staff knew in advance? Doesn't this show that these people had no idea at all? It's like, for example, with some government classified agencies, if they suddenly revoke someone's security clearance or work authorization, that person either can't get in or is grabbed and thrown out directly from the inside. In such cases, they won't tell you in advance that you have 24 hours to pack up. Because if it involves classified information, they have to revoke your clearance. Working at the White House requires a clearance, after all, because these people can attend press briefings at any time, or even stop and interview officials, talk to staff members regularly, and have access to public documents as soon as they are released. You originally had these special privileges, but now it's impossible to let you continue. So, you see, not giving advance notice is actually a very important point; it's equivalent to a lack of trust, revoking your security clearance, and then throwing you out without you even knowing. That is to say, you have to realize that it's probably very difficult for your own people to go in and push this equipment out. At most, I estimate that the White House security personnel packed up the MSNBC and CNN stuff, pushed it to the door, and you have to come to the entrance to take it away yourself. Do you see? That's why they are so embarrassed. If they had really known they couldn't stay inside today and had to go in to move their things, they would have definitely prepared a vehicle or something, gone in, moved it, and left without being so miserable. This whole thing has turned into a street interview; it's truly hilarious and very satisfying.
Speaking of this, we need to talk about fake news and the CCP's infiltration into the media, arts, and cultural sectors. Actually, there is another matter that has been quite significant lately, one that the CCP has been constantly fueling and watching very closely. What is it? It is the issue of Trump wanting to rename the Kennedy Center. Everyone knows about this, right? You should see that in the CCP's state media, like Xinhua News Agency, they have been reporting on this constantly. If you search Xinhua, you will find a whole bunch of reports on this. See? Back in May, a judge in the District of Columbia ruled that Trump's name could not be added to the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, and that the center's two-year renovation plan could not be terminated. The CCP's Xinhua News Agency was very happy about that at the time. Actually, let me tell you, we haven't discussed the Kennedy Center issue before. Simply put, this is similar to Trump wanting to renovate the East Wing of the White House, right? It was for national security reasons, and the CCP couldn't stand it! If you strengthen security, how can I destroy you? This matter is similar; although it is not a fortress or a conference room for national security, the Kennedy Center has a unique significance. Hey, speaking of the Kennedy Center, if you don't have a deep impression, there is a Kennedy School at Harvard. Everyone knows that, right? Both the Kennedy School and the Kennedy Center were not named that originally in the 1960s, but after President Kennedy was assassinated, in order to commemorate him, Congress decided—look at this art center, back in '63 or '64—Congress approved the name change to commemorate him. Later, around '66, the Kennedy School at Harvard was also renamed to use Kennedy's name, which was also to commemorate him. And look at the Kennedy School now; it has almost become the CCP's overseas party school, hasn't it? So, you can imagine, what must be inside this Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts? You see, Trump originally announced in December of last year that he would rename the Kennedy Center to the Trump Kennedy Center, because the President has the authority to appoint members to its board of directors. So, after Trump returned to office, by the end of 2025, the board voted to rename it and add Trump's name to the front of the Kennedy Center.
But you see, it didn't work. It is very clear that behind this lawsuit are forces that are anti-Trump, anti-American, and aligned with the CCP's interests. The judge said no, which led to the order to remove the signage. The court believed the board had exceeded its authority. In any case, everyone knows that with these local courts, Trump has to fight all the way to the Supreme Court; he cannot let these local judges keep causing trouble. And here, actually, after the incident at the end of May, the board proposed a compromise plan last month, saying it would still be called the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts, but on the wall outside the building, under the center's name, like a subtitle, they would add a line saying 'Restored and Renovated by President Donald J. Trump.' At the same time, they planned to name the plaza in front of the center 'Trump Plaza.' This was already quite a compromise, but the federal judge rejected it again. You tell me, why are they so determined to block it? Of course, Trump is not letting it go. On September 15th, Trump filed an emergency appeal, requesting an expedited review. And then? What about the appeals court now? It is currently in a pending state. Because the appeal has just been filed and the documents have just been submitted, Trump said, 'If you don't deal with this with me, I'll take it to the Supreme Court.' And the most interesting part is that it is no longer just about whether there is any progress in the appeal. Look, Guancha.cn is also very focused on this, just like they were focused on the renovation of the East Wing of the White House. Even media outlets like Sohu are constantly reporting on it. But in reality, where is the most interesting turning point? It is that starting September 15th, because the judge there wouldn't even allow the name to be added, suddenly the Kennedy Center experienced some very 'timely' internal quality issues. It was captured on camera that inside the Kennedy Center's conference halls, chunks of concrete were falling directly from the ceiling. There are pictures online; it's very scary. Is that the exterior of the Kennedy Center? Inside, in the conference hall, it was just falling down with a crash. You tell me, if anyone were holding a meeting inside, wouldn't they get hit?
So, as soon as this matter came out, Trump over there was rushing to file an appeal. At the same time, the board of directors of the Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts announced that since the judge would not allow the name change and also terminated Trump's funded renovation plan, we now have a very troublesome problem. Built in 1965, it has aged and fallen into disrepair, to the point where even the ceiling has burst—specifically, the ceiling of the center's main corridor has collapsed, and further deterioration will lead to complete ruin. Without the support of the U.S. government, not only will we have to immediately and urgently shut it down to raise money for renovations, but we may even have to anticipate its eventual demolition. Including the footage of the ceiling falling, Commerce Secretary Lutnick specifically released a piece of surveillance video, and Lutnick stated that only the White House can guarantee the renovation plan proceeds. This entire building is just the tip of the iceberg, dilapidated everywhere. So, you see? While the Chinese Communist Party was making trouble, Trump wasn't sitting idly by at all. Obviously, meeting the attack head-on. In fact, what does this boil down to at its core? It boils down to this art center. Oh, let me casually find some examples for you to look at, showing what this art center has done, and you will understand why the Chinese Communist Party cares about it so much! Alright, come on, let's show everyone inside this art center. Let me see, I should have prepared a bunch of materials here for you. I find that I can't find this material; it seems I might not have projected it over. Let's just put it this way: you go check, what about 2005, 2006, what about 2019, 2020, 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, you just go ahead and check all the way to 2025, the cooperation between the Kennedy Center and the Chinese Communist Party couldn't be better! Today a ballet, tomorrow some kind of family reunion gala, the day after tomorrow some cultural event hosted by the Chinese Embassy in the U.S. at the Kennedy Center, it all gets staged there. Let's just say, flying the banner of culture, isn't this the Chinese Communist Party's usual routine? Just like diplomacy flying the banner of sports, like ping-pong diplomacy and Olympic diplomacy.
The key is you need to know, over these past decades, how has the Kennedy Center become just like a Confucius Institute? Understanding it this way hits the nail on the head. And what's even scarier is why is it like this? Because it represents an image of the United States. As I've told everyone, it was originally built because after Kennedy was assassinated, back in 1964, Congress approved the establishment of the National Cultural Center and renamed it the Kennedy Center. Although it officially opened in 1971, its establishment was actually approved back in 1958. And during the construction process, the name change happened. So you see, it was approved and established by Congress, right? It's not like Harvard; Harvard is still a private university, and the Kennedy School wasn't established directly by Congress in that way. Because the Kennedy Center was approved and established by Congress, its identity issue actually represents the spirit and will of the United States even more than Harvard. You have to know why Trump can appoint board members—it's because it has this mixed identity. Originally, this art center should be maintained with funding from the president and Congress, making it part of national assets. And because throughout its entire development process, it also got mixed up with private fundraising, various foundations, and the cultural circles most loved by the leftists, the whole thing ended up feeling like a public-private partnership, you understand? Hey, it's very unique. It takes your country's money and then does private things you want to do. In terms of form, it does indeed resemble how Harvard, although a private university, receives federal funding, right?
So in this process, hey, you have things like artistic directors, liberal elite curators, foundation people, donation people, fundraising people, online promotion people, commentators, hey, so these ideologies are just like in university campuses, right? Through the development of nearly the past sixty years, this Kennedy Center has also become extremely sophisticated, extremely progressive. For example, this Kennedy Center isn't just about whether or not to cooperate with the Chinese Communist Party, or letting the Chinese Communist Party hold exhibitions there; it actually comes down to the screening of its programs.
Ah, the talents they select and recommend, hey, to get into the pool of talents recognized by the Kennedy Center, right? Which values are the ones they promote? For instance, the Kennedy Center and the campaign it represents behind the scenes—they would feel that your American Christian traditions, your military honor and sense of value, national security, the founding spirit, right? Oh, these things are too conservative! Your Christian spirit and all that need to be broken down. We are all about...
What is this? Is this civil rights DEI? Talking about gender, LGBTQ, we must talk about inclusive diversity and artistic progress. So just look at this, isn't this what Trump is coming up to clean up? Ah, to be honest here, it's a cesspool of iniquity, right? Posing as art donations, posing as what? Under the banner of promoting art, how much dirty money can go in there? Right? Including here, well, over the past few years, because of LGBTQ and so on, right, it has already spread into schools, and gender transition and whatnot have escalated to this point. You look at the Kennedy Center, there are also a lot of these queer things, these children's musicals, performances by pro-homosexual choirs, right? Of course, you can say individual ones of these are fine, but when it is placed in an art center and network that represents American values and is even maintained with government funds, and is heavily pushed while suppressing the true national values of the American people, then there must be something wrong with it, right? Isn't that a coordination of unrestricted warfare? Isn't it? So here you see, Trump is striking precisely at this ideology, just like how he fights CNN, MSNBC, the New York Times, and Politico. And look, isn't Trump hitting hard, accurately, and ruthlessly right now? Before hitting this center, he hit Harvard, right? He hit Harvard first, and this only got onto the agenda late last year.
And the funniest thing is, yesterday reports started coming out that Trump was photographed by reporters on a plane landing at Joint Base Andrews, and through the window, it showed Trump reading a document about the Kennedy Center being demolished. Hey, you say these reporters, they feel like they've caught a big news story, right? Shocked, saying, "Oh! They aren't letting Trump change the name! You're actually going to demolish the Kennedy Center, this is no joke! Trump is already looking at demolition blueprints!" Right there you can see it says "Kennedy Center Demolition" in those few words, right? Afraid that you wouldn't know what Trump is looking at, this matter instantly blew up. Trump is actually going through with the real deal!
Ah, look, reporters specifically said it was photographed by an Agence France-Presse reporter, and AFP is also very left-wing, right? Saying that on the large board Trump was looking at, it was written in red font: "Kennedy Center Demolition." Saying that because the window frame blocked it, the text behind could not be seen clearly. But reporters know that Trump wouldn't let the name be changed, and now the center has already been closed down, and furthermore, preliminary groundwork has already been laid, right? If all else fails, this thing can only be torn down. So reporters are extremely worried. Hey, you all tell me.
Would you say Trump's handling of the public opinion war is extremely brilliant? Do you think Trump is looking at some top-secret material? Doesn't he know reporters outside are staring at him? Ah, isn't this just like if you say reporters are clearly waiting outside with long lenses and cannons, and then if a certain big celebrity suddenly appears at the window, letting you see them with another celebrity, hey, generating a romantic pairing, the two hugging and kissing, doesn't that belong to obviously wanting to let the matter of them being shipped out get published, just being a hype stunt? Isn't it? So look at how good Trump is at playing the media! Just like that, costing truly nothing at all, right? Just such a large piece of cardboard placed there, instantly maximizing the effect. The CCP is also dying of anxiety! Doesn't the CCP's propaganda follow up immediately? Saying, "Ah, why is it that after changing the name, it's going to be demolished too? Did Trump panic?" Who is the one panicking? You tell me? This is very interesting, right? Hey, you have to hand it to Trump, he really knows how to do things at a low cost! Look at this, making a cardboard cutout on one side, and posting on Truth Social on the other, right? Then over in Iran, that Supreme Leader now also has to turn into a cardboard cutout, hey, it's very interesting. Well, this is an episode, right? Trump really announced a big deal today, although he just seemingly casually posted another Truth Social message, but it has once again become a matter of universal attention. He posted a message on Truth Social today, saying:
Over the years there have been many scams, all created by the radical left-wing Democratic Party—well, because he changed Democratic to Democrats, wait, he changed Democrats to the Dumbingrats (stupid Democratic Party). He said they were all created by these radical leftists, with the purpose of destroying our country, including the Russia-Ukraine matter, including global warming, including the first and second impeachments of Trump scams, including making men participate in women's sports competitions, making everyone transgender. This is what Trump laid the groundwork for first, and then he said, and now they have targeted AI, attempting to severely damage AI, or even completely destroy it. Look, I told you so, the CCP is currently racking its brains, oh, trying to hold AI back, wanting China-US co-governance—what are they dreaming about? Ah, Trump said this is done by radical leftists with insufficient brainpower, but in reality, isn't it just those brain-dead moves where Xi matches wits with the extremely high-IQ Trump and the US government, playing those self-defeating, clumsy games in circles? Isn't that it?
Why else would Trump say, "I get along great with Xi, and I know how to deal with him"? Absolutely. Trump said, "You guys don't understand; you still think he's some kind of clever person, right? Only I have figured him out. First, he's a fool; second, he's a coward; third, he's evil; and fourth, he's crazy. Once you master these points, there is nothing you can't figure out and nothing you can't handle." Right? So you see, Trump said, "As Trump, as the President of the United States, I will not stand by and let this happen." All of this originally started with attacks on our data centers, until people realized what tremendous wealth and prestige these data centers could bring to the communities where they are located. The result is higher salaries, lower taxes, and safer streets. Therefore.
Fiercely attacking data centers—meaning the actions to stop them from being built—Trump said has basically failed, so they have now directly turned their sights on artificial intelligence. This is completely identical to their tactic of renaming global warming to climate change, because the latter covers a broader field and leaves more room for manufacturing doubt. Indeed, because previously they talked about warming, everyone started doubting it, right? Decades later, they found out it was wrong; there was no warming, and there might even be a chance of cooling, right? There is all kinds of evidence, except you aren't allowed to talk about it. So isn't that why it's renamed to climate change now? Cooling, warming, whatever? Hey, as long as there is one change, as long as it's a normal fluctuation, or even something that didn't happen, they can attribute it to climate change, right? Hey, this is even more—it looks like they are playing it very cleverly, but in reality, it's just that their previous scam went bankrupt, so they had no choice but to take a step back, right? Isn't this equivalent to: after the theory that the COVID-19 virus came from nature went bankrupt, they could only retreat to—oh, maybe this virus leaked from a laboratory due to biological reasons, biosafety reasons, due to making vaccines, etc., with good intentions, but accidentally messed up, so it accidentally leaked out, right? At the end of the day, isn't that still wanting to defend their battlefield after retreating? Look, Trump said stop changing it, what's there to change? Right? We will never in any way hinder or stifle the incredible industrial development of AI. On the contrary, we will cherish it, support it, and protect it as it grows.
Of course, we will also look for the bad things in it—bad, those bad things. It's not to say the US turns a blind eye to all of this. Trump said we can now very easily achieve this by using the existing criminal and civil justice systems. Why drag the CCP into this? Right? The CCP doesn't recognize your US laws anyway, and the CCP's own legal system runs completely counter to the US national interests, right? So trying to make this AI thing a matter of joint US-China management is purely either something else, or else sheer, calculated wickedness pretending to be ignorant. Therefore, the most ruthless move is that Trump now directly announces.
Hey, just this paragraph right here. To this end, I am building an AI force, just like I built the Space Force during my first term. The Space Force has been a tremendous success. Wow, if he hadn't followed this up with this sentence, people might still have interpreted it—because you've never heard of him wanting to do this "AI force" thing, right? People might have interpreted it as a regulatory panel, right? Hey, because it was said that regulation would be promoted, this "force" could be understood as a task force, understood as an AI task group. But from the very moment Trump announced it, he didn't leave you any space for that kind of confusion at all! Trump said it directly: our thing is just like building the Space Force; it means that kind of "force." Speaking of the Space Force, everyone now knows how powerful it is; even weapons that dominate the heavens have been deployed up there, right? Exactly how did that unlucky Yaogan 50-02 satellite of yours get smashed into pieces, CCP? You don't even dare to make a peep, right? Hit one and not a peep, you just—you just say all his satellites were smashed, and he didn't even make a peep; does he still dare to face the US military? If AI makes a misjudgment, do you still think boarding and inspection will trigger a conflict between the CCP regime and the US military and spiral out of control? Oh, seriously, stop making things up, right? So you see, once Trump dropped these words, all of the major US media and everyone else are discussing what on earth is going on. How come there was an AI force without any prior warning? What kind of situation is this? I bet the ones panicking the most are those over at Xi's Communist party. They originally thought that since one trick didn't work, another scheme would be born, right? If you don't let me drag down your data centers, I'll go make third-party censorship for you; hey, I'll go manipulate AI freedom of speech for you; hey, I'll go make US-China co-governance for you. As a result, Trump completely broke the game by not buying into your crap, and secondly, he jumped right out of the limitations of your mindset and raised it to another level with a "force." A military organization, benchmarked against the Space Force—an AI force. Wow, I don't know whether there are more humans inside this AI force or more AI robots, right? It's very much worth looking forward to, feeling like a Star Wars kind of play.
And Trump said that to achieve this goal, I will announce in the near future the appointment of an AI czar, that is, the person in charge of this entire military and intelligence power regarding artificial intelligence. Trump said that only people with high IQ are qualified to apply. Oh my god! Who is this remark poking at? Isn't it poking at the anti-American, pro-CCP elements? Be it the far-left, the Western CCP, and especially the fatal flaw in the IQ of Chairman Xi, who has established one-man supremacy! Ah, let's just say, Trump didn't use to harp on this high IQ thing so much, but have you noticed? Especially lately, as Trump talks, he has to bring up this high IQ thing, specifically targeting the CCP. He used to just call the Democratic Party, uh, rename the party to something like 'Democrats', right? But emphasizing this 'high IQ' thing really feels like he's afraid the Xi-led CCP won't understand. Don't think I'm only poking at the Democrats; I'm actually poking at the main force behind you, the CCP. Brains are a good thing to have. Have you noticed that President Trump often has very, very coincidental echoes with what we at Lude Media, Lei, Yan, and Lu talk about? It's very coincidental! What a surprise, right? We've said it long ago, and our familiar audience members all know. I said six years ago that a brain is a good thing, right? If you consider this thing an antique, it's worthless. At most, it counts as a specimen; it has to be used well when it can be used. And if you can develop your brain, develop it as much as possible, right? Of course, we also know that sometimes this thing is congenitally limited, and there's no way around that, just like height; it's related to genetics and the growth environment, isn't it? So we see those with low IQs, like the Xi-led CCP, and we don't mean to discriminate; we also know it's very regrettable, right? And we also know that you have to speak human language to humans and ghost language to ghosts, right? If you tease a cat, you have to meow; if you tease a dog, you have to woof. So you see, in our programs, we often deliberately explain many things in a simple, easy-to-understand, and concise way, breaking them down in circles, just for fear that the top dog won't understand, and then there's no way to feed it back, right? How much do they need? We don't know; after all, IQ is a fatal flaw. But President Trump here keeps accidentally echoing us. Trump said, for example, when talking about AI, low-IQ people can't manage it; only high-IQ people can manage it, and people with extremely high IQs can be competent as the heads of these affairs, right? So he said AI, look at this next sentence, AI is the next industrial revolution or the next internet era, but its scale and influence will be even greater, potentially accounting for as much as a quarter of our U.S. GDP. We are currently leading China and other countries, and I am determined to keep the United States in this leading position.
I'm saying he's pointing at the CCP, right? Other countries don't matter; the main target is you, the CCP! The U.S. wants to make this an important industry that is nearly a quarter of its pillar, and you, the CCP, want to knock down people's pillars? Are you tired of living? Right? So you see, just now we said, a reporter asked Trump, are you going to talk to Xi about AI? Are you going to reach some kind of agreement? Doesn't Trump avoid answering directly? What Trump is thinking is, is he even worthy? Let him improve his IQ first, right? Even he, Xi, is worthy of signing an AI deal or a co-governance deal with me? Just playing with you is enough, right? We have always said that AI is the driving force for a huge transformation like the industrial revolution, and didn't Trump say that too? Right? So you see, next we will talk about what this AI force is like; we are all looking forward to seeing it, right? The U.S. just reveals a little bit to you, and lets you find another rivet for comparison! Now look, after a few years, how awesome is the Space Force now? It's unstoppable, right? Then you know how huge the potential of this AI force is!
And Trump actually posted a tweet today, he really posted a tweet! I thought he wouldn't use this Twitter account anymore, but he used his original account to say that many people think that compared to AI or the term artificial intelligence, the name AI is not accurate enough, and the term artificial intelligence lacks linguistic elegance. For this emerging phenomenon, a more elegant and accurate description could be superior intelligence (S.I.), which can be translated as 卓越智能 (superior intelligence), or extreme intelligence, 极致智能 (extreme intelligence), or it could also be translated as superior, supreme. Intelligence, supreme just like the Supreme Court, supreme intelligence. He said this is a poll, and I hope everyone can come and participate in this poll. For this evolving revolution, which name is more suitable? Well, I chose superior intelligence. I think superior intelligence sounds pretty good, right? Extreme feels a bit too extreme, and supreme, well, I think supreme should probably be a combination of humans and AI to be called supreme. So I think I choose superior intelligence. I found that most people also chose this. Although these three names are chasing each other closely, neck and neck, right? Look, over a million people have already voted on this, right? So then Trump said this is an evolving revolution, meaning that maybe after some time the name will change, S I Force or something else, right? In short, you see, Trump is using his influence to constantly push this matter into the public eye.
Well, speaking of this, look at the US, it is already far ahead, right? Well, although Huawei loves to use this term, the US is truly, solidly far ahead, right? You, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP), let alone a space force or an AI force, if you want to develop a rocket now, you have to think carefully about whether your Long March can even make it up! At which step will your lunar exploration explode? It's hard to say, right? Well, the US doesn't say, and we don't know either. In short, it's just like setting off fireworks, suddenly a mature rocket launch method explodes right in front of everyone, which sounds terrifying. So the CCP now also thinks about chasing after others, and they make robots that can only do square dancing, right? So they are still playing their old tricks. Since you play your old tricks, don't blame the US for steadily tightening the net around those old tricks of yours. Look, actually a while ago, I remember I should have told you about this case last year, there is this retired ethnic Chinese soldier, this former US Army soldier who retired, and then...
Through these networks within the military, they continuously help the CCP develop minor spies and collect intelligence. At that time, several people were arrested all at once. We talked about this on our show last year; one of them was named Duan Ruoyu, and there was another one, not Li Tian, I think it was Tian Li—I remember the surname being Tian—as well as another person who was arrested in the same case. Several people were arrested together. This Duan Ruoyu was a former soldier in the Army, and it is said that he retired after being injured during training in his third year of service. After retiring, he kept receiving various benefits for American military veterans and so on. However, this guy was actually working as a spy for the CCP. And it was quite interesting when this guy was caught last year. We told everyone about this incident at the time, but there were some details we didn't go into then. In fact, when he was arrested last year, U.S. federal agents drove an armored vehicle to his house and broke down the door! And because he was a former soldier, they specifically threw flashbangs into his house to prevent him from acting out of desperation. It was so satisfying! At the time, let me show you, this person looks like this. Because he joined the U.S. military a long time ago, he still had a Weibo account back in China. It is said that this guy looks very disgusting—a fat, big-eared fellow. He was even a so-called "big V"-level influencer on Weibo. Some people online dug up that he was a military blogger on Weibo, something like "Duan Xiaoyu," and he was also a very lecherous guy. In short, his character was also very disgusting. But in reality, while this guy pretended to be a former soldier playing around with self-media, what he was really trying to cover up was his espionage. The two people next to him, including the one named Tian Li, were the minor spies he developed who were caught by the U.S. military along with him. Wow, let me show you. He has now pleaded guilty. There was a lot of denial in between, but now it has been announced in the last two days that he has pleaded guilty and is facing a ten-year prison sentence. See? This is one of the people he developed who was on active duty—before being caught, he was an active-duty U.S. soldier, this might be the Tian Li inside, and there was another one named Zhao Jian. This seems to be Tian Li being caught on camera taking photos, see? He was photographing secret information from inside the U.S. military and such. Anyway, they were caught red-handed by surveillance cameras, including which chips were photographed, and what information was transmitted to the CCP in the photos taken. This is exactly what the CCP is doing within the U.S. military.
So I specifically found one for you, a photo from when his home was raided by this Duany Ruoyu, when his home was raided and he was arrested. Look, this is March 6, 2025, at 6:00 AM in the morning, federal agents driving an armored vehicle. This person lives in Oregon, and this is the residence where he lives. He has a wife and a young daughter, which didn't stop him from chatting up people online and doing all sorts of shady things, right? A very rotten person. But they were living in this house, okay? Federal agents drove an armored vehicle over and went straight into his house, and at the time you could see the tire tracks left by the armored vehicle on the ground, satisfying, right? Even when Guo was arrested, it didn't involve an armored vehicle driving over, because Guo was after all just faking fitness, right? Whereas this guy actually trained in the U.S. military. They said that after arriving at the front yard of his residence, they smashed the front window to execute the search warrant. Neighbors said at the time they first heard a rumbling, rumbling, rumbling sound, and then when neighbors looked out from the window, they saw red flashing lights. Why? Because flashbangs were thrown, followed by a huge explosion and a blinding flash of light, and law enforcement officers shouted, "We are the FBI!" So this flash-bang grenade directly shocked the entire neighborhood! At the time, this guy's daughter was only five years old. He and—obviously, the U.S. treated him like a military terrorist, otherwise, with a child present, I think it's very—I rarely see the U.S. military or law enforcement go to such a huge length to arrest even a spy. And then, neighbors also said that after agents arrested him, they searched his house—which didn't look big or very high-end—for six hours, just such a small house. And back then, he actually still had a lawyer. This lawyer is very interesting; his previous lawyer was named Corner. I don't know who paid for him; it wasn't a public defender, it was a paid one. When reporters went to interview, this person had a lawyer right away, and his lawyer even asked the court to release him, asking to give him a chance at bail, but the government refused. His lawyer at the time also said to reporters, "Oh, this is simply overly aggressive law enforcement!" Saying that the charges against him for espionage are too sensational, how could it be hyped up like this? Moreover, at the time, his lawyer Corner also told the media, "Oh, this Duany Ruoyu himself is innocent; he was simply targeted by experienced Chinese intelligence officers who tricked him." And then, they tricked him into cooperating with them because they claimed to be a headhunting company or something, and thus scammed him. So he developed these low-level contacts without his knowledge. He thought he was serving as some kind of security consultant. And then, the lawyer also said that the information provided by the person surnamed Duan was all non-classified information, and some of it was even publicly available or outdated for many years. He said my client did not provide any information that posed a genuine threat to public safety.
Why do I emphasize this? Because he has pleaded guilty now, hasn't he? Let's wait and see what the official announcement says after his guilty plea. Once you compare the two, you'll know about these spies in the PRC, right? Of course, the lawyer has to say that, but these PRC spies, even if they are stubborn, the U.S. will pry them open now, won't it? It's very interesting. And at the time, it was said that Army Captain Tian Li and Sergeant Zhao Jian were arrested almost at the same time. Then the supplementary information stated that Duan Ruoyu joined the U.S. Army in 2014, and three years later, he was injured while on duty—it seems his leg was injured—and he had been receiving benefits and free medical treatment ever since. Furthermore, his wife and children would also enjoy disability benefits for veterans. At the time, the prosecutor stated that he was just an intermediary agent, looking for people who possessed valuable information and acting as a bridge between the CCP and these people within the U.S. military. Moreover, the prosecutor said that the facts alleged in the charges against him were undeniable and extremely serious. He also said that even if Duan had some information that could be found through public channels, first of all, he had other secret information. Secondly, let me tell you, the prosecution stated that even if he held public information, because the channel through which he obtained it was not a public channel—he took information that was allowed to be public from the U.S. Army's security system—this still constitutes theft of information. Do you know the evidence used to indict him? In other words, let me educate everyone: it's not that just because something is allowed to be public in the U.S. system, you can go and take it and disclose it everywhere. You can only obtain it through public channels; otherwise, it is considered a violation of the entire information security regulations and so on. So the source channel is very important, understand? Furthermore, the prosecution said, how could his collection of information be as simple as just collecting public information? He collected data related to U.S. Army vehicles, artillery, and the like, and then found people to steal these military computers and classified military hard drives. And they themselves admitted—the people arrested together in this conspiracy—that these hard drives were brigade-level or highly sensitive. See that? A few days ago, we talked about that Chinese-born border patrol officer in Maine; wasn't what he stole and sold things like memory and hard drives? Then he used inferior goods to pass them off as quality ones to fool people. I said, his stuff definitely wasn't just about selling it at a low price and earning some online vouchers, right? The U.S. will definitely investigate whether there was anyone inside the Taiwanese buyer who was colluding with them. Just like that, you see, one side has to steal it and hand it over, and the other side sells it directly to a so-called recycler, which also ends up in the hands of the CCP, right? It's just like the PRC and the F-35; when it was sent from Australia to the U.S. for repairs, the CCP was able to change the transport route in Hong Kong and intercept it directly. Not to mention that it's too easy for important U.S. border patrol hard drives to end up in the hands of the CCP after being sent to Taiwan for recycling, right? So you see, these things all corroborate each other. Don't treat the U.S. like a fool, okay?
So when his lawyer asked to bail him out at that time, the prosecution said no, saying that he had to remain locked up. They said this person surnamed Duan might still be hiding classified information in other places, and also said that he might have other Chinese intelligence officers helping him, who could get him a new passport at any time so he wouldn't just run away whenever he wanted, right? Look at that. When he was arrested back then, he was 39 years old last year, and this year he should be 40. This year it was announced that he is 41, maybe he just had a birthday, right? Anyway, this Duan, when he was arrested, did not plead guilty to those three charges against him. Those included bribing public officials, receiving stolen government property, and conspiracy to gather, transmit, and cause the loss of national defense information. So at that time the judge did not allow him to be bailed out, confirming that this guy indeed has a flight risk, and saying that it is very hard to effectively monitor this. If this defendant engages in some illegal communication activities at that time, involving such a big matter, it is still more reliable to keep him locked up there! Moreover, at that time, the judge actually also said that this Duan Ruoyu is not just simple active on Chinese Weibo; his connections with China, including his parents and other co-conspirators of unknown identity, are all under investigation! And it was said that Duan Ruoyu also said before that he wanted to go live in Japan, and these words obviously give everyone the possibility that he might abscond at any time, right? And when his home was searched for six hours at that time, multiple firearms were also found, and there were children in the home, yet these guns were not properly kept, so these matters were all constituting threats. And what about that Army captain, just this just this photographer named Tian Li, wasn't he arrested at the same time too? This person is 42 years old, he is actually two or three years older than this Duan Ruoyu. This Tian Li was also wanted to be released on bail by his lawyer at that time, and the judge disagreed, saying that he is willing to provide this information to the hostile government of the United States, and he would do so just for money. And it even said there is some evidence in here indicating that for one piece of intelligence only 500 US dollars was accepted, which is just symbolic, right, so it shows that this is already being absorbed into the organization getting a symbolic little reward right? Taking a little bonus thing and giving the stuff out. So the prosecution also said at that time that it is completely untrustworthy, and he cannot be directly bailed out; it is very dangerous. So at that time, it was said that the whole thing from October 2022 to February 2023, just this Tian Li had sent five emails to Duan Ruoyu containing some military materials. Although there are some older materials in here, there are also useful ones. And Tian Li's lawyer also said, oh, Duan Ruoyu was writing articles on military topics, which is why he requested the materials. And Tian Li was just helping him finish the article, and the prosecution has collected so many materials, could they be fooled by you? The prosecution released the nonchalant photos taken at that time, and said that there was also a computer folder in Duan Ruoyu's home with 27 compressed packages, named literally 'Knowledge Treasury'. This included controlled unclassified information of the US military, and information with explicit warnings that it must not be publicly released to the public. And you know what? Despite this guy thinking that since they post on a Chinese Weibo or post on Chinese Xiaohongshu or WeChat, the US is not watching. Just when this Tian Li was arrested, the prosecution said, he had once participated in a Chinese podcast program. When participating in the program, this Tian Li even wore a mask, sunglasses, and voice-changing treatment, saying that he was a US Army soldier with experience living and serving in Japan. He did not report his name, oh, but he talked about a project related to Chinese missiles on the program. Hey, see that clearly? That means these people think they are doing things very cleverly, but the US is watching everything! Including that Zhao Jian, after he was arrested, the prosecution also accused him of giving the encrypted military hard drive and twenty hard drives containing classified information to the Chinese Communist Party side.
Alright, didn't they all refuse to plead guilty back then? Look at this, now after a year or a year and a half, they've pleaded guilty! Moreover, the middleman, Duan Ruoyu, was the first to plead guilty, confessing to the charges of conspiring to collect and transmit national defense information! And because he has now pleaded guilty, it is a settled fact that he admitted to all the evidence in the indictment regarding the period from November 2021 to March 2025. He conspired with others in Oregon and other regions to secretly collect sensitive military information related to the U.S. Army's combat capabilities, including computer equipment, training gear, training materials, intelligence reports, and technical methods. He and his co-conspirators—at least Tian Li and Zhao Jian, although these two haven't pleaded guilty yet, it's only a matter of time—paid for the collection of this information. Specifically, they collected data on things like U.S. Army combat vehicle platforms, such as the Bradley, Stryker, and HIMARS, and transferred it to CCP personnel. It is stated that Duan Ruoyu served in the U.S. Army from 2013 to 2017 and received professional training in handling sensitive classified military information, so there is no excuse for him, right? Now, it is said that Duan faces a maximum of ten years in prison, a $250,000 fine, and three years of supervised release, with sentencing scheduled for October. Meanwhile, the other two, Tian Li and Zhao Jian, will follow suit. See? Just as I said, when he was arrested, his lawyer claimed he was innocent, that it was all public information, and that he was just deceived by others into thinking he was doing normal things. Look, after a year and a half, didn't he confess to everything? Where is the innocence? And you might think he was developing a network while claiming, 'I served in the U.S. military, I can criticize the U.S. government, I can be dissatisfied, I am an American now.' But in reality, isn't this just providing material for the CCP's cognitive warfare? Building a narrative? Someone who served in the U.S. military claims that the U.S. is inferior to China, and then they go all out to fabricate, spread rumors, and slander. So, these people—unlike Colonel Sellin or General Spalding, who might criticize the U.S. out of a patriot's heartache—are absolute black sheep. And for those of you worried about being implicated, you should feel guilty, shouldn't you? You have no idea how much Duan Ruoyu could spill about you, and there's a whole pile of others behind him. By the way, here is a funny detail: after Duan Ruoyu's guilty plea was announced, he actually changed lawyers. I read in the reports following the announcement that he was represented by a federal public defender named Peyton Lee to complete this plea. This means the lawyer who jumped out to charge him fees to defend him when his house was raided by armored vehicles is nowhere to be found. I suspect the CCP stopped paying, so that lawyer couldn't continue to defend him. Or, the CCP likely decided, 'forget it,' treating him as another severed tentacle, drawing the red line further back, and throwing him away. So, just like Guo Wengui, he had to use a public defender, and the public defender helped him plead guilty. This detail is quite hilarious.
