Transcript for Melania Trump calls for firing of top security aide

And speaking of parties, there could be a bunch of farewell parties at the white house pretty soon. Parent first lady Melania trump made a very unusual public statement declaring that deputy national secretary adviser Mirra ricardel no longer deserves the honor of serving in the white house. Melania apparently thinks ricardel is leaking information and clashed with her over her trip to Africa. I guess people are saying is she overstepping her bounds by making it public? Is this just more smoke and mirrors? What's happening? I like when she says she no longer deserves the honor. Tell that to Michael Cohen, Sean spicer. See how honored they were to work in this white house. Half of them are being indicted for god's sakes. If they're not quitting or getting hired, they're going to jail. Some honor. I was surprised to see this because historically you know that first ladies do tend to work behind the scenes and have complaints about people and they have certainly their husband's ears. Hillary Clinton in the west wing -- clearly George Stephanopoulos has written about that. Nancy Reagan too. Mary Todd Lincoln, a long history of it. But there isn't a history of a first lady putting out a public statement, an official statement saying something-like that. I don't know if it's because her husband sort of conducts his business that way in the open or maybe it's the age we're in. Maybe she's jealous of all the drama and she wants to be in the middle of it too. Nothing about this white house has Normal precedent. President trump doesn't even fire people. Remember he tweeted about James Comey and James Comey found out when he was on a trip in California. It sounds like behind the scenes Melania trump has been trying to get this woman out because this happened during the Africa trip is when it started. That was weeks ago, a couple months ago. It sounds like a clash between her and John Bolton who is this woman's boss and she feels the only way to be listened to is to go public which is strange. Isn't it odd for the first lady to do this. I don't know what's worse, leaking or doing it publicly. That's how I roll. I'm a straight shooter. If I have a problem I'm not going to leak stuff. The one thing I will say is the Africa trip as we talked about on this show wasn't totally received globally. We talked about the pith helmet, the controversial attire. If this woman is telling her something she doesn't want to hear, maybe she should start listening to things you don't want to hear. You got to surround yourself with people who aren't going to be yes men telling you what you want to hear every day. To that point, why isn the person who encouraged her to wear that jacket on her way to the border, I don't really care, do you -- she should fire herself. What Melania has accused this woman of is leaking and where I would disagree with Meghan a little bit is this white house is famous for leaks and the people that are in that white house, they still haven't gotten control of that. There has to be frustration with Melania. What are you trying to say, whoopi? I was going to make a really terrible joke and you can't make it. Everyone in the white house leaks everything. That's the problem. It's the root of all problems in all organizations when you're trying to build morale anyplace. If you have a leaking problem, it will fester like a virus. We've often talked about how people in this white house aren't necessarily qualified for the positions that they have and that's been very problematic. But this woman, I did some research and she does appear to be qualified for her position. She's been the deputy national security adviser for seven months but she also attended Georgetown university school of foreign service, did doctorate work at tuft's university and she's held three positions -- It doesn't matter if she's Albert Einstein. Melania doesn't like her. She appears to be qualified for her position.
