for us, the general idea was really gloria steinem said women do not want a slice of the pie, they want a whole new pie. will we have is an ecosystem where women are supporting each other. from their ecosystem, they are providing each other with support around anxiety. they find themselves in high-pressure situations they do not want to talk about all the time. having a community around you gives you the opportunity to take more professional risks. >> i would say the same thing. one of the things that has helped me the most is surrounding myself with people who are encouraging and believe in me and can remind me in those moments were maybe i am less confident in sending that text message. that it has been most effective. but what audrey is building is the real world version of that. >> what do you think? what are the key things that somebody can take into the meeting to get it to the next step? >> a couple things. the first thing is support other women. if you see other women come into the room and you are in a meeting with them, and set up the chairs that are not at the table, motion t

people were asking where is this generation's gloria steinem.did not show, so women started naming names and something happened that was very different than what happened before. we supported each other and rallied around each other. : we are behind on this policy, this policy for families and on and on and on and on, and we see that with the tone of this present administration. i would not editorialize, but say it is the observance at the end of the year. what would you say to the leader of our big banks, the leaders of our investment banking, the leader of our brokerage firms? >> i will never forget being on your show last year, a couple of aars ago, where leo was portfolio manager, and he turned to me and we were talking about women in business and he said, "we just love having women. we just find it hard to" -- tom: i remember this. >> i turned to him. i was like "your mom says to be polite." and i said, "have you thought about promoting them?" , "oh, what ake novel idea." did very first news story of 2018 is -- is the very first new story o

you had women going back decades, gloria steinem, the children, samantha powers' kids, saying we're goingh a woman be elected president, an historic event. then after the votes come back from florida and california, they know. just the unraveling of that and you end up with samantha power with her son on her lap asleep and pjs and just the aftermath. what was that like? >> well, i mean, it was one of those moments where i had to keep my professional hat on and whatever i was feeling about the election just to focus on -- you know, clearly it was a remarkable scene unfolding before our eyes. as a documentary filmmaker, those are the moments you live for. my whole intention going into this was to make a film that's about the last year of the foreign policy team, but really, about the emotions at play, the ups and downs and triumphs and setbacks. and clearly that was all unfolding before our eyes. me and my crew just focused on getting the job done, recording that kind of remarkable scene, and yeah, it was unforgettable. i clearly knew as it was happening that this is going to be at the core

having a committee with gloria steinem and chan and trying to figure out how to make a better culturee workplace those are the type of changes we have to get to in this next phase. that's where vice i think is doing a very good job. >> farhad, we heard some other female employees speak out they don't seem to be super impressed with what vice has put forward here just play devil's advocate to walter's thought is this just putting lipstick on a pig? does this really change the culture of vice? >> i think there is some worry with that i think it's a legitimate charge. they are promising a lot but they did so, you know, after a huge expose in the "new york times. it's not like they were proactive about this changing a culture is hard the reason they are the company they are today is because of their culture and to kind of completely undo that and install some kind of new way of working is going to be difficult for everyone involved there, including the top executives i don't know that there are good examples of that working elsewhere. other companies have tried it. uber, for example. i do

gloria steinem said, those married white women voted for their husband's ideology, not theirs.at's pretty insult her to say. >> no, it's not. >> absolutely it is. >> when you have him talking about grabbing -- >> i didn't vote for trump -- >> you're not a woman. >> if women who vote -- if a woman -- >> there are women who are having problems to this day. >> when. >> if a woman votes for trump she gets to say, i voted for trump because i believe in trump. >> you're not a woman. >> thank you very much, mansplaining. >> clearly. >> i'm glad you know this. >> let's all go out. >> have some fun saturday night. >> maybe we'll see members of the congress out eating and drinking. thanks for watching cnn's special report, trump's first year, reign of chaos. jake tapper is next. take 5, guys. tired of your bladder always cutting into your day? you may have overactive bladder, or oab. that's it! we really need to get with the program and see the doctor. take charge and ask your doctor about myrbetriq (mirabegron) for oab symptoms of urgency, frequency and leakage. it's the first and only

actually happened and we have someone qualified to be leading this country long time feminist icon gloria steinemis in a unique position to judge this movement she told me she believes it is here to stay it's beginning to shift and i think that. they're beginning to see that there is no gender. people are people. and beyond race and be on gender we're just getting uglier it's a system that political scientist laura brown says will change because of this she predicts women will have parity in government in a decade or so what you see here is that enough women are finally getting involved at the local and state level to ensure that there will be a strong bench of women candidates ready to run for those higher level offices in the coming years and decades one year isn't it it appears there is something donald trump is making great again feminism although it is highly unlikely that was his intention to call him al-jazeera washington well the next report in our series on president trump's first year in office will examine the impact of his foreign policy in the middle east and you can see that on frid

there was a moment when women all said, where is gloria steinem? who's going to lead us out? that was veryened different than what happened before. we supported each other and rallied around each other. tom: we are saying this in an america different from all the other nations that dr. bremmer studies. we see that with the tone of the present administration. what would you say to the leader of our big banks, investment is the, brokerage firms best practice to get more of the food chain? >> i will never forget being on your show where we were with a portfolio manager and he turned to me and we were talking about women in business and he said we just love having women. we just find it hard to keep them. and do you know what i said? i turned to him and the southerner in me is like, be polite. be polite. i said, have you thought about promoting them? oh,he just sort of went, what a novel idea. promote them. tom: she was completely rude. >> the very first news story of up which is 500 women in hollywood coming together to put money behind the issue. tom: take this into a top risk.

. >> which i must say democrats and gloria steinem and people on the left said in 1998 and 1999 and 2000 still saying it up to 2016 until hillary clinton lost. now, most of the people i agree with and i respect loved the david brooks column including you. tell me why i'm wrong. >> i can't speak for david. it strikes me that when this presidency gets conservative plaud it from people like rich lowry, he's not talking about donald trump governing us in campaigns. quite the opposite. donald trump hasn't gone to the populist of his party. he's come to rich lowry. it's incumbent on lowry to notice he's come to him. it would be ridiculous if rich were to not acknowledge donald trump's successes because he's governing as he advocated he's governing for fear of the fact that -- the biggest problem with the presidency is the president. if donald trump's supporters were being consistent, they would be miserable, but they're not. they're saying -- >> but david brooks is telling us pay no attention to his racist tweets. pay no attention to what he said in charlottesville. >> is he in. >> yes. read i
