All came in morning. Were talking about the cool places we because we were being creative with it. And im sure you probably were too. Id encourage you to do the same today, even if its just the Grocery Store in the neighborhood. Get in there for a little bit. Spend some extra time in the refrigerator section. Let your body temperature cool down for a little bit. No shame in it. Looking outside at the Golden Gate Bridge skies are Crystal Clear out there. Not a cloud in the sky overhead at the coast and we are seeing another day with that warm push the air from our inland areas, push it out to the coastline. Right now its 60s 70s with pacific. Our warmest spot on the map at 79 degrees. Just at 09 00am this morning. So your window of time getting out there before the heat really builds. It is starting to close. Winds are rather light but still pushing for inland areas towards the coast. Thats enough to push any sort of ocean influence away from us. Thats the heat advisories that we have i
Fully fledged National Guard so supportnsure the full of the nation because it is within ourselves that lies the response. What are the terrorists seeking . To scare us, to separate us, to , toe disunity and division sow hatred and discourse. Our unity and cohesion are critical if we want to meet the challenge. Similarly, terrorists want to give up freedom and the rule of law. It is there that they are testing us. To sow the seeds of discourse, promote confrontation and lead of aromote stigmatization religion. Islam has its place in the republic. Ism and fundamentalism is our enemy. Closing places of worship where hatred or intolerant is fermented, we have done that and we will do it again. Monitor individuals, we did that during the state of emergency. We will do it again, after hand apprehend individuals to conduct relevant investigations, to ensure surveillance. That is what we will do.

Proxy forces, misdirection plays, propaganda, a different way of exerting power . Sec. Carter exactly right. And we need to counter that, too. And we need to fortify our european allies to counter that. So weve got a lot to do, and thats just another way of saying that we need to continue to be innovative. We innovated a lot when it was came for iraq and afghanistan. They were new kinds of one of the things im really proud of in our Defense Department is a long history of innovation. It goes back you know, i started my career in science and technology. As you said, we were doing stealth at that time. We were doing a whole lot of stuff in space. Missile defenses, all those were new capabilities. And those of you who are in High Technology industry know im trying to reach out to our industry, building those bridges.
