RUSH TRANSCRIPT
DURKAN: "Chris, thanks for having me back. First, I want to assure the president that Seattle is fine. I’m not sure what he’s so afraid of and what he’s depicting to the nation just isn’t true. I spent time in the area today talking to people, listening to their concerns, talking about what brought them there, what they want to see for our city and for community. I don’t know why the president is so afraid of democracy. Free speech is part of who we are. It’s how we started as a nation. We will be fine in seattle, we don't need the president's help."
