My sincere thanks to @HouseForeignGOP for inviting me to address this topic of great policy and personal importance.
“In October of 2023, our family joined the growing circle of American families devastated by fentanyl.” Listen to @Heritage’s @SteveYates share his personal story of how the fentanyl crisis, fueled by China, ended up costing his own daughter’s life:

Say whatever you want but having the military sing Do You Hear the People Sing to a trapped Xi is a truly power baller move
白宫晚宴上的这一幕,《悲惨世界》经典旋律。不能不联想到背后有安排曲目的意味深长…… 《Do You Hear the People Sing?》中文常译“你听见人民在歌唱”或港版填词“问谁未发声”,在2014雨伞运动和2019反修例示威中被大量传唱,大陆主流流媒体一度下架英文原曲。 香港教育部门后来禁止学校演唱带政治信息的歌曲,更著名的《愿荣光归香港》后来被法院禁制。 所以这首曲在中方官员耳朵里,应该比普通百老汇名曲更刺耳。这次现场主唱的是同一部剧里的《One Day More》,只是掺进了前一首的旋律和歌词碎片,没有把整首“人民在歌唱”完整唱出来。 这首歌在剧情中的位置,恰恰是学生革命者准备起义前夕。 没文化很可怕,也许,在礼炮与红毯之下,也深埋着嘲讽与暗喻……

Who is this guy staring into the DC sun? Happy to do a deep-dive conversation with @NTD about the Trump-Xi summit. For those who don't understand Chinese, you'll just have to guess the questions... hopefully my English was okay. piped.video/3-6nce8diUw

$5 BILLION in new U.S. Drone Investment 💵 “We’re no longer going to be dependent on foreign tech.” - @BrendanCarrFCC
AMERICAN DRONE DOMINANCE 🇺🇸 President Trump’s policies supercharged domestic drone manufacturing with billions of dollars now flowing into production plants here in America. Great to join the @SBAgov Defense Industrial Base Drone Summit today to discuss the FCC’s role.

Great to join @StevenWMosher and Rana Mitter for tonight's conversation with @KatiePavlich on @NewsNation. @Heritage @NSwithYates
"I think they will hinder their own A.I. development by their paranoia that it might get out of control - and might provide a weapon for Chinese people to demand regime change." WATCH: @StevenWMosher & Professor Rana Mitter unpack China's position and fears amid the A.I. race.

.@ClayTravis and @BuckSexton chuckle with @SteveYates over Trump showing Xi his Biden autopen photo -- but says it reveals a deeper strategy. YATES: "That's the part of Trump that I just love to death. He will go where no man has gone before in terms of foreign policy and diplomacy."

What about Jimmy Lai? @ClayTravis and @BuckSexton ask @SteveYates of @NSwithYates whether Trump will press XI to release the inprisoned dissident. YATES: "I try to highlight the case, because it really tests, is Xi capable of mercy when the world is watching?"

I repeatedly asked President Xi and President Trump just now if China will release Jimmy Lai. Neither leader acknowledged the question (they did not stop for the press).

Great to catch up with former PM @HonTonyAbbott former Ambassador @YamagamiShingo and my friend Stephen Hayes MBE for an energetic chat about national security and supply chains. There is much to be done. It’s an urgent task and needs to be talked about much more in the public square
