I get you want to promote America and how beautiful and amazing it is.

I get all the good reasons why you wanted to do that.

And I get it's time with your family, all those things.

I don't like it because right now in New York, people are suffering.

They are extremely stressed out.

They're stressed out about the cost of gas, which has gone up by 50% under this administration.

They're upset about the cost of everyday household goods.

They're upset about the cost of groceries and housing and healthcare.

So there's stresses.

I don't think they're gonna get to go on that great American vacation that they'd like to go on.

I think a lot of families

are not actually going on vacation this summer.

And when I went and met with a bunch of gas stations across my state just a couple of days ago, the cost of well over $4 a gallon in every gas station, $5 a gallon, over $6 a gallon for diesel, it's extremely stressful.

And I don't like the fact that this great American vacation

reality TV show, took days and days of filming.

I don't like the fact that it was paid for by companies that you have to oversee, companies that you work with.

And in our jobs, that would be pay for play.

It would be 100% illegal.

It would be

Inappropriate on every level and not tolerated.
