headed to Los Angeles and I land, we're taxiing in and I have probably 40 messages from family and friends.

And they're like, Hey, be careful.

LA might be shutting down.

The news is saying that, you know, there's protesting and there's violence and there's chaos and blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

I get in the car and I'm driving to my hotel and it is peaceful, right?

It is like a normal day in Los Angeles.

And I'm like, wait a second, like what is going on?

And then...

there's this one little bitty section, one corner, like one corner.

And it's not even protests.

It's just people gathering, but it's all people.

It's people, it's brown, it's black, it's white, it's Asian.

Like all people are there supporting the city in a very peaceful, calm manner.

And so I didn't call everyone back, but I called a handful back and said, turn the TV off.

This is not what's going on.

Like change the channel.

Mayor Bass has this very much under control, like nothing that you see there.

But how do you deal with that as the mayor of a city like Los Angeles?

top two, three largest cities from a media perspective in the world, not just the United States, but in the world.

How do you deal with that?
