RUSH TRANSCRIPT Tucker Good ░░░░░░░░ and welcome to Tucker ░░░░░░░░ Tonight we are fewer ░░░░░░░░ 40 hours away from ░░░░░░░░ s inauguration Friday s ░░░░░░░░ continue to grow by ░░░░░░░░ moment as of right ░░░░░░░░ 68 House Democrats are ░░░░░░░░ Trump s inauguration Some ░░░░░░░░ they oppose his policies ░░░░░░░░ ones insist they do ░░░░░░░░ agree with his entire ░░░░░░░░ It is not legitimate ░░░░░░░░ their opinion Congressman thank ░░░░░░░░ for coming on Thank ░░░░░░░░ very much Tucker You ░░░░░░░░ got elected and now ░░░░░░░░ are boycotting How come ░░░░░░░░ couple reasons first and ░░░░░░░░ I believe that the ░░░░░░░░ elect does not share ░░░░░░░░ same aspect around the ░░░░░░░░ Care Act which is ░░░░░░░░ for the constituents I ░░░░░░░░ it s very important ░░░░░░░░ about the rushing hacking ░░░░░░░░ think that also to ░░░░░░░░ taken seriously Thirdly about ░░░░░░░░ congressman John Lewis he ░░░░░░░░ the city of Philadelphia ░░░░░░░░ the liberty metal celebration ░░░░░░░░ the Constitution a couple ░░░░░░░░ ago The very same ░░░░░░░░ that Jimmy Carter Colin ░░░░░░░░ Nelson Mandela received At ░░░░░░░░ very end of the ░░░░░░░░ the president elect will ░░░░░░░░ sworn in This is ░░░░░░░░ opportunity for me to ░░░░░░░░ that message that I ░░░░░░░░ not happy Tucker I ░░░░░░░░ that and I understand ░░░░░░░░ reasoning You don t ░░░░░░░░ with Trump on ObamaCare ░░░░░░░░ you are concerned about ░░░░░░░░ Russian interference of the ░░░░░░░░ That bothers you Would ░░░░░░░░ who disagrees with John ░░░░░░░░ on a political issue ░░░░░░░░ the same treatment from ░░░░░░░░ Look at John Lewis ░░░░░░░░ a hero in this ░░░░░░░░ He should not have ░░░░░░░░ attacked the way he ░░░░░░░░ attacked Tucker I m ░░░░░░░░ attacking John Lewis he ░░░░░░░░ an elected official he ░░░░░░░░ been for 30 years ░░░░░░░░ I didn t agree ░░░░░░░░ something he said does ░░░░░░░░ make me a villain ░░░░░░░░ to say that he ░░░░░░░░ not demonstrated any action ░░░░░░░░ believe that is the ░░░░░░░░ action He has demonstrated ░░░░░░░░ lot of action in ░░░░░░░░ of things he s ░░░░░░░░ To make those common ░░░░░░░░ are ridiculous to say ░░░░░░░░ things about John Lewis ░░░░░░░░ what he has done ░░░░░░░░ think people have been ░░░░░░░░ the board The person ░░░░░░░░ s going to become ░░░░░░░░ next president of the ░░░░░░░░ States in my particular ░░░░░░░░ we should trying to ░░░░░░░░ people together not separating ░░░░░░░░ Tucker Fair point I ░░░░░░░░ t think that the ░░░░░░░░ elect should ve tweeted ░░░░░░░░ My understanding is he ░░░░░░░░ making a statement about ░░░░░░░░ Lewis district which is ░░░░░░░░ of rich district It ░░░░░░░░ a lot of problems ░░░░░░░░ he was saying look ░░░░░░░░ represent this district and ░░░░░░░░ have for all these ░░░░░░░░ and it still and ░░░░░░░░ shape Maybe that says ░░░░░░░░ I want to ask ░░░░░░░░ since you also represent ░░░░░░░░ heavily poor district in ░░░░░░░░ if you think boycotting ░░░░░░░░ inauguration will help your ░░░░░░░░ And if so how ░░░░░░░░ the end of the ░░░░░░░░ he will be president ░░░░░░░░ all Americans The election ░░░░░░░░ over The reality is ░░░░░░░░ should work together We ░░░░░░░░ t work together as ░░░░░░░░ of the United States ░░░░░░░░ ve been in the ░░░░░░░░ a teacher for years ░░░░░░░░ and executives should work ░░░░░░░░ I ve never seen ░░░░░░░░ chief executive attack a ░░░░░░░░ for speaking out Governor ░░░░░░░░ governor Thorne burn right ░░░░░░░░ in Pennsylvania We work ░░░░░░░░ we got things done ░░░░░░░░ the end of the ░░░░░░░░ the name of the ░░░░░░░░ is putting people first ░░░░░░░░ don t believe that ░░░░░░░░ is what he has ░░░░░░░░ Tucker I wonder if ░░░░░░░░ s been a situation ░░░░░░░░ legislators have attacked the ░░░░░░░░ before he s taken ░░░░░░░░ That s what you ░░░░░░░░ doing You are saying ░░░░░░░░ m not even going ░░░░░░░░ your inauguration because I ░░░░░░░░ for its agree with ░░░░░░░░ and he s not ░░░░░░░░ the president yes I ░░░░░░░░ there and meeting my ░░░░░░░░ for the United States ░░░░░░░░ I work in the ░░░░░░░░ days I ve been ░░░░░░░░ working together to make ░░░░░░░░ difference Look President Elect ░░░░░░░░ will be sworn in ░░░░░░░░ Friday at 12 00 ░░░░░░░░ he is sworn in ░░░░░░░░ the fact of the ░░░░░░░░ is he will take ░░░░░░░░ different attitude once he ░░░░░░░░ has the position as ░░░░░░░░ Then we can find ░░░░░░░░ common ground and get ░░░░░░░░ things done He talks ░░░░░░░░ infrastructure I am a ░░░░░░░░ advocate for infrastructure That ░░░░░░░░ to happen Roads bridges ░░░░░░░░ Tucker That s a ░░░░░░░░ point So you have ░░░░░░░░
