Said he didn't remember asking andrew mccabe who he had voted for and said if he had, he didn't think that was really -- there was no problem with that. do you believe there was a problem with that and if you do, can you explain to people why you might have a problem with that? >> you mean, if asking a civil servant how they voted? >> yeah. >> yeah, i mean, look, i've been in the u.s. congress now for nearly 14 years. i can't remember any time i asked a civil servant how he or she voted or for that matter anybody else who came into my office to talk to me about a given issue. i never asked. i ...

Good evening, sir. thank you for coming on. >> don, good to be with you. >> a source is telling cnn that the white house is trying to publicly humiliate tillerson. why do that? why not just fire him? >> you know, it's funny. the president who made his reputation on firing people on "the apprentice" doesn't seem to like to do it in real life. so it seems like they're trying to send a very strong signal to secretary tillerson to leave on his own volition by shaming him. it's really unfortunate. i mean, for whatever he's done, and i've got a lot of concerns about what he's done to the department ...
