wouldn't you? why do you think he didn't take it seriously? i don't know but i would never claim that i know his motive because i don't. how would you? >> i would tell you that there've been and also a lot of reports that the trump white house was surprised by the response to this. there are reports that people actually thought democrats would be excited about the removal of james comey. and everybody would jump in line and everybody would be happy. i don't know and you don't either whether that is the case, but there's certainly been an awful lot of talk about that today and again, if you're going to remove the director of the fbi, wouldn't it be wise to take that step but have thought it through enough to have a replacement ready? >> tucker: i don't know. i guess he be criticized for preemptive replacement of the fbi director prayed i don't know paid i'm not a political strategist. i just think that we should all engage in more temperate rhetoric and i hope you'll join me in that. thank you for coming on tonight. >> it's been a pleasure tucker.
