And in this era where President Trump's spending money building a golden ballroom that we don't need, that he's spending a billion dollars a day on bombs that people would far rather he be spending on health care or housing.

This Great American Road Trip, it doesn't smell right.

It may be fast, but it's fast and loose with the rules.

I don't like it.

I think it's wrong.

And I think

You should explain to the American people why you should spend your time and why you should be getting a vacation that is paid for by companies that you regulate.

I think those things are highly problematic and it makes me extremely anxious because the American people and New Yorkers in particular probably can't afford their vacation this summer at all.

It is a wonderful thing.

But your vacation was paid for by Boeing, Toyota, United Airlines, Enterprise, Shell, Royal Caribbean Group, all organizations and companies.

No, you shouldn't be paid for by people that you have oversee that you oversee.

Can I respond to that?

I'm sorry.

I didn't realize.

But the point is, but Mr. Duffy, Secretary Duffy, I don't mind that you have rules and that you have a different way of doing the Department of Transportation.

What I mind is that you bragged about it and made a joke about it.

It is not appropriate for a secretary to demean an entire state by that joke.

You got that money because we give it to you from New Yorkers.

We also appropriate money that then you don't grant.

So we are the appropriators, not you.
