I feel I'm supposed to take sweet victory. I know this life meant for me. Adam, what's your point?

Angelenos, we're still going through it. And to any of you and all of you that have experienced a loss, the grief, the anger, the just utter shock. I've seen the devastation. It is unbelievable the amount of loss that people have experienced. But we have to get through this crisis and I know that we will.

I was at the Selma command post today and I saw the work of our first responders and how they've been able to defeat the fires in certain areas. We know we still have much more to go and we know the winds are gonna kick up again. But we gotta stick together, we gotta stand strong and then We have to rebuild our city. We're the nation's second largest city, one of the greatest cities in the world.
