say bigger legal implications from all of this? well, one of the interesting things that we, that this presents us with, right, is that, you know, there is still ongoing investigations in various parts in the feds as well as in the states. and it is, you know, one of the unusual things is that, you know, you have the georgia investigation, the georgia grand jury, and special grand jury, and they have heard testimony of a number of people, including people who did not and have not spoken to jack smith s investigation for example, and one of the things that i know that is going to present itself in coming months, kate is that federal prosecutors are going to want to see some of the work that went into the investigation, and into the fani willis investigation is that they are getting ready for their own trial, and there might be additional defendants named in the jack smith investigationcom things that i am looking at is if there is anybody here or something here that might be

Were supposed to measure those things, set those goals and have people hold us accountable. Not run away from bad news, not cherry pick for the press, hey, i reduced crime by 1 , isnt that amazing . Its better than zero, but own the bad news, fix it, and share the good things that are happening together. And in los angeles, my philosophy has been a very simple one, to get back to the basics. To do those things that people depend on government to do. To pave streets, to help businesses create jobs. To make sure that city hall works for you and not against you. To show up when were usually missing and to get out of the way when were an impediment and rebuild the public trust and breathe life back into american democracy from the local level back up.

Reporter well that is what was over the loud speaker today, thanking students for their help after identifying the 17yearold who they say started this instagram account.

They placed calls to parents and sent that home, as we spoke to one that will do just that and that they will check

We are so inundated i think with news of mayhem and mishap and war and disease. I think sometimes we forget how much good work is being done day in and day out by a lot of good people who just care about their kids, care about their communities. In your districts i know there are extraordinary teachers and principals who are putting everything they have got into making sure our kids are getting a great education and we have parents who are stepping up in volunteering and helping to make those schools work. So as you disburse one message i want you to deliver to all of them from the white house from the president of the United States is even if you are not getting a lot of attention, even if you are not making a lot of headlines what you were doing every single day is making the biggest possible difference in the lives of this country and i couldnt be prouder
