Tom Suozzi: “Do I think there’s a problem with affordability? Absolutely, there’s a problem with affordability.”

We’re for capitalism, not socialism. We’re for safety, not lawlessness. We’re proud of America. Not ashamed of America. And we need to be promoting those things.

I call myself a new kind of old-fashioned Democrat. Someone who believes in the traditional values.

I try not to waste my time on worry. I try to take action. So I just say very clearly, 'That's not me and that's not us, and this is why that's not us, and that's why this is not me.' And I fight back against it.

If I show up and say ‘hey lets work together to solve the problems that we face in our country,’ you’re not going to get a big rally for that.
