I want to thank all the wonderful people of the city of New Orleans for this encouragement, for this victory, for this time for us to set the stage for our recovery.
It's time for us to come together. It's time for us to rebuild a New Orleans, the one that should be a chocolate New Orleans.
Because we don't have a lot. We don't dominate business, we don't dominate a lot of things. So political power is very important.
No, I wouldn't advise that, because you know, we have downed power lines. We have trees. Our sewer system is not working. The hospitals still have skeletal crews. We still have a lot of work to do.
