Not a forecast (claim audit 2026-09-26, operator-approved): in the 2026-04-21 lecture Jiang described something already true or under way. He uses past/present tense ('it goes up to $90 billion... that IS almost like a new national police force') describing a budget change that has already occurred, not a future prediction.
