listen to valerie jared praising them, thank you for the last four years. couldn't be any more obvious. >> well, valerie jared thank you for being on the show sh this morning. enjoy the day. >> thank you. thank you. thank you for everything. it's been a good four year was you all as well. >> thank you for all you've done, we appreciate it. >> valerie jared is reportedly barack obama's most-trusted adds visor. she's thanking msnbc for everything. they respond by swapping spit with this woman. this is a network so in the tank for barack obama they've been pushing him since 2004 senate campaign. she has every reason to thank them, they should have said you're welcome. >> sean: one side note did you notice george stephanopoulos misidentified the celtics star bill russell for morgan freeman? watch this. >> look at the crowd gathering now. that is morgan freeman. bill russell. i'm sorry. >> whoops, sorry. just a small accident. yes. >> that is funny but have you to ask yourself if a conservative had done that, what would have been reaction? conservatives can't te

you see valerie jared's leg in the oval office, beyond that, it's all men. with this latest round of picks, they are all white men. to what degree is this not good for the president, who it must be said has a fairly decent record given there's eight women in his tcabinet at present and three are minorities. >> we have a president who's chosing people in his second term with whom he's comfortable. i'm not going to begrudge the president, his pick, all white guys or women or african-americans or latinos or lesbian or gay, it's the president's prerogative. optically, yes, it is a problem for the president. he's the first african-american, people look to him as being someone whose administration -- excuse me -- should look like america, and that photo you showed, america doesn't look like that anymore. but i do think that, you know, we're not done yet. i should say the president's not done yet in picking who's going to be in his cabinet, who's going to fill all the other positions. i'm not going to smack him around. >> just to add one thing, because i worked the

valerie jared apparently not visible there because dan fifer is in front of her.white house council and the deputy chief of staff but who is leaving. is there a problem with the president not pursuing more women in his cabinet? are you troubled by that? >> to me this almost seems swift voting. taking a person's strength and trying to create a weakness out of it. the president has about 50% of white house staff as women. if you look at his appointments to the court we have three women on the supreme court, two of them appointed by the president. >> big cabinet jobs, white men. >> the cabinett is not fully fleshed out. >> the big ones. >> please don't diminish cabinet level positions as some as big. for a domestic policy guy many cabinet positions are very important. one thing is that is disengenious to show the picture when 50% of the staff in the white house is women. this is a president who has expanded health care opportunities for women and stood up on his first legislation. if you look at his policies and practices he is changing the focus on the country. >> i

we saw valerie jared.ad had a chance to press her on whether or not the white house feels there's a sufficient amount of women and diversity on the cabinet. they say when it is all said and done, it will be reflective of the united states. do you get a sense the white house -- there will be more announcements and look more diverse? >> reporter: sylvia matthews burrell is the top contender to run the office of management and budget, which is currently run by jeff and previously run by lew. on may be the administration and then at the gates foundation and now walmart so that would be one woman. and then lisa monaco is an interesting person. she's currently at the justice department. she was fbi director mueller's chief of staff. she also worked on the enron task force helping to prosecute some of the people in the enron case. you know who else did? the current white house counsel. so they have sort of a women's -- they are sort of -- you can talk about a boys club, they are a women's power club. they prosecu
