But this is what I have learned in my personal life as mayor, as lieutenant governor, through Katrina, Rita, Ike, Gustav, the national recession, the BP oil spill, the mass shootings that I experienced as mayor.
It is always true, 100%, that when the shit is really hitting the fan, actually the people step up to the plate are like the parish priest.
or the high school junior, or the secretary for the U.S.
attorney.
I mention these to you because these are three people that I met, you know, when storm waters were high and they were feeding people.
And they said to me, why am I doing this?
I'm just a high school student.
I go, why am I feeding everybody?
I'm just a parish priest.
Why am I rescuing people?
I'm just a secretary in the office that nobody pays attention to.
It is always true.
that somebody who nobody expects, that we don't ask anything from, actually shows those of us that are in leadership positions what real courage really, really looks like.
Yeah.
And it takes a minute for people to find their courage.
So as you watch all these people who should be stepping up, not step up, you also witness the miraculousness
of what the human spirit can withstand through the mouth of, for example, this coach that you saw who exhibited real courage and without fear.
And then hopefully we will learn once again, what has been taught to us a million times that we're better together.
And that when we move to each other, when we lift each other up, when we give each other a little bit of extra, that you can actually beat everybody.
Donald Trump cannot be 330 million people.
