i would offer up what master sergeant john chapman did was fall back on his level of preparation. every extra rep he took, every piece of cognitive thinking he did, every extra lap, all went into his preparation to be there for his teammates in their time of need. i think that is an important lesson for all of us to focus on. you know, we sit there and i go back to when you look at a professional like master sergeant chapman, it really is once again something the chief talked to us about. it's about the ability for us to master our craft. it is about being those leaders of competence. it's about being those leaders of character and it's about being those leaders of consequence. are we making a difference in the lives of our airmen? are we making a difference in the lives of our service members? and once again, you could think about the interactions you have and it's just evident, you know, once again, it goes back to the talent, and we have so much forward-thinking talent across our force at the e5, 02, 03 level, it's almost literally breathtaking. about three weeks ago, had the o

and in the service exfied by the medal of honor recipient master sergeant john chapman. i'm often asked about the transition to the department with the undertone "is it what you expected?" i tell people it's like breaking up with your long time girlfriend and finding the love of your life. it really is. let me start today by saying thank you to all the airmen in the audience today, active, guard, reserve, civil service. thank you for your service. i'm honored and humbled to serve with you. it has been just over a century since american airmen first flew into war. from world war i to the cold war to today's battles in afghanistan and the middle east, you have continuously pushed the boundaries of air power with vision, courage, and conviction. innovation is in your blood. airmen question break barriers. think outside of the box, push limits, and never let the nay sayers tell them it can't be done. it is this pioneering spirit that will fuel our future. before i dive into my speech, i want to share the influence that shaped my thinking. i'm an engineer. i like solving prob

there is one that even predated mac, john chapman. he made that comment if you can read it on the slide. i won't repeat it. he said that in 1967 which was the centennial of canada. we just had our hundred and 50 years last year. even he, when you read this, he had no integral how important space would be to our everyday life. that is why canada is driving part of this and it is important to us in our future. by the way, this is a lot of the same of the factors that would be addressed in the united states. you see the comments that were made. there are so many nations involved now. given the characteristics in canada, is probably more important to canada than a lot of the other nations. this is again a bit of a complicit can view the world. we talked about our contributions to civil space programs. he talked about our niche capabilities. i tried to very broadly address what our niche capabilities are. there are more details on the lower boxes here. we have some very good rf capability. we have good optics capability, good buttocks -- r

john eastman is a senior fellow at the claremont institute and constitutional law professor at chapman and anniversary. and andy mccarthy. john, i want to start with you because you wrote in "the new york times" that birthright citizenship is not actually in the constitution so why does the left think it is? >> they have misunderstood one of the causes and the constitution. there's actually two requirements for automatic citizenship. you have to be born on u.s. soil, and you have to be subject to the jurisdiction. they read that last clause out of the constitution as if it's not there, as if it means the same thing as being physically present here. but for those that rat fidel castro and those that drafted that language it meant subject to the complete jurisdiction, not subject to any allegiance to any foreign power, and that's what mandates birthright. what and certainly the people who are children of to and are not even lawfully present in the united states at all -- but the children of visitors and children of people who are not citizens of the united states at all are not automatic
