of them, and the first and only black female ceo of a fortune 500 company stepped down in 2016 from xeroxs the first and still only. she is one woman, but the fact that it takes one person to step back like that, and we are back to where we were 20 years ago statistically, women are still struggling, they are still doing about one third as much housework as men, still doing as much childcare, they are more likely to leave the workforce after they have kids. a disproportionate number of them are clustered into low-paying industries, most minimum-wage workers are women, actually. so that is a bad thing. it is sad, but the good part and heartening part which you don't necessarily see in statistics, but when i talked about women about what "lean in" did for them -- >> because many women took at heart, right? claire: oh yeah. i talked to a number of women who it changed their lives and careers because of this book. even though you don't see the reflection in statistics, probably because this is a very specific book for the female population, it changed the way women thought about the careers a

jim o'connor was told his son couldn't even be an intern and run a xerox machine. somehow that changed at the beginning of the trump administration. you can't have somebody taking money from the chinese and russians and everyone else while conducting a united states government policy. and you also wouldn't want someone in the white house who is under investigation by robert mueller. of course, if you throw him out for that, you would probably throw out a good chunk of the white house staff. it's a big mess right now. but he doesn't belong there. >> tia, how do jared kushner and his wife, ivanka, regard their role at the white house? let's hear what ivanka had to say. >> roughly 19 women. do you believe your father's accusers? >> i think it's a pretty inappropriate question to ask a daughter if she believes the accusers of her father when he's affirmativly stated there's no truth to it. i don't think that's a question you would ask many other daughters. >> any other daughters i struggle to find any in the particular position she's in here, tia. what do you make of h
