charlie and msnbc contributor, barney frank, former democratic congressman. thank you for being here and happy new year to you guys. jeff, i want to start off with you. i would like you to set the scene here and the stakes. how is president trump trying to frame this debate, he canceled new year's and he's been at the white house trying to handle all of this and, yet, no signs he is ready to make a deal. >> great to see you, kristin. >> reporter: the president's message is he is here in washington, at the white house, ready, willing and able to do a deal. that talk, that rhetoric hasn't been backed up by action. as we understand, the president has not talked to democratic leaders in at least ten days and is in no mood to make concessions as aides tried to soften his position saying the border wall was a metaphor for border security. we have seen how the president undermined them. here is the latest tweet. the democrats, as i suspected, allocated no money for a new wall. so imaginative. the problem is, this is the key part, the problem is, without a key wall,

joining me now is former democratic congressman of massachusetts barney frank. mr. frank, first, i want to get your reaction to the trump fbi inquiry. you just heard someone else describe this as highly unusual. how remarkable is it to you that the president of the united states could be the subject of a counterintelligence investigation? >> well, it's obviously extraordinary. it's the first time it's ever happened. there is a potential precedent but that undermines how important this is. clearly j. edgar hoover with his own resources in the fbi investigate other presidents, not because he thought they were working for foreign power, but because he wanted to get stuff on them in which he could blackmail them. but that underlines how important this is. the fbi has always been one of the more politically conservative institutions in america. now i don't know exactly what they're going to find or not find about any explicit involvement, but here's the most important fact from the standpoint of the country politically. one of the most historically conservative instituti

and a new deal breaks it is looking more likely tomorrow barney a meets with german chancellor angela merkel and the two are expected to discuss a possible break delay sources say the e.u. remains united in its stance that it will only consider a delay if and when britain requests it or in london british prime minister to resign may's she is in a battle against the clock and against her own parliament lawmakers are expected to vote next week on the second version of her brags that withdrawal plan it is an unpopular or it is as unpopular as the first version which lawmakers rejected and some parliamentarians are reportedly planning a move to force the new deal breaks it all option off the table completely to reset may says that would only undermine her government's ability to deliver a break sit deal today in parliament may and opposition labor leader jeremy corben traded verbal blows some of the most severe yet over bricks. i mean this is a combination the whole government is working to ensure that we meet the european union we deal the chancellor and the business sector agree and i q

but when barney clark got an artificial heart his wife was afraid he wouldn't love her anymore so we do still have these weird things. >> well, you've kind of told the story through the lives of five primary doctors and you read about bud frazier and he is the fulcrum in the history so you have denton cooley -- michael debakey first and then denton cooley and then buzz frazer and then billy comb and daniel timms as the kind of the people that you hang this history on, and they all have these big egos and sort of a drive to succeed which is what you need in this field. can you paint us a quick sketch of who these guys are? >> yeah. another reason i wanted to write the book, i don't know how many of you remember but michael debakey was a -- the most famous surgeon in the world of his time. he came to houston -- he had to be lured to houston. called baylor a third-rate medical school and he, through his will, really, turned it into a first-class institution. he actually disspeed the size of his egg go, which wouldn't fit the capitol, he brought in excellent people from all over the coun

[ laughter ] there's lots of things that that was a secret . >> the presence of the pets, how much are you thinking of trying to humanize the presidents cannot to just capture them while they're working in an office but with their pets and their families . >> trying to photograph them to humanize them and not simply as symbols of authority. the photo of bush with his dog, it's a very vulnerable photograph, not a position you normally see that kin

(ken) it's a simple song about a shark, that kids love-but like some pop culture phenomenons, it went global when few expected it to. (pam) cnn's paula hancocks has more on the 'baby shark' craze that started in south korea. if you have young children, this probably isn't the first time you're hearing this song. 'baby shark' - the latest musical phenomenon to come out of south korea and one of the few children's songs to hit the top 40 on both the us and uk charts.with more than 2.2 billion views on youtube so far, this song is insanely popular.smartstudy, the company behind the mania says it has since created 100 different versions of the song in eleven languages.'baby shark' has conquered the globe. no one really knows where it started -- a folk song that was always around i'm told. this version was created in 2015.i ask the man behind the latest craz

barney's has had incidentals where people have claimed harassment or discrimination. it's not so great all the time for black americans. so that's how i reconcile with -- i reconcile it and say everywhere is terrible. there is a -- downtown new york city that we didn't know existed for decades. it's a hard city for black americans as well. and superficially i think our neighborhoods are super segregated. but we still we're in spaces oftentimes together, people take the train together. sometimes we live on the same block together with people that are vastly different from us. it feels maybe like when we're -- we're more integrated than we are. new york is still one of the most segregated place in the country. we don't interact with each other. where -- whether we interact, you know i think there's a liberal white circle and the black harlem professional circle, and those worlds don't often mixed. we're very segregated here. i can kind of reconcile that. i think in the south they can talk about it more. in ways we don't. we're like too good here. everyone thinks they're

. >> so that's president bush with barney. he called barney the son he never had. and you might remember, barney's the one that bit the hand of the reporter one day. guess he left some stitches. but, again, this is another situation where president bush allowed me to photograph him during some of his personal time, including -- this is early on in the administration where he was a jogger. later on he started biking when his knees started hurting. but it is just a personal moment. like a real moment, just like any of us with our pets. >> that's bo. we were about to do an event with the first lady somewhere. i couldn't tell you where. my memory's shot. but yeah, bo's a great dog. >> that was just say good-bye to a world leader and he was walking back into the oval office. so nice light. nice shapes. >> how did you get up there. >> there's a staircase. >> i was curious, maybe they didn't know. >> it's not a secret. >> a question i had with reference to the photos that the presidents with their pets, how much are you thinking of trying to to humanize the president's, n

thing when contacting barney to run with the news. so where did i. did it. i think what i'm trying to recall the government offices. regarding blast off on the bottom of the. nominee of the morning is not a lot of the. night. the long talk or long as they offering up something like a. vision of. a longer three. ball the longer you wait and drive the dollar and maybe your done to reduce the cost of all of the stuff going to the good and skills of the people because it's all feel. good thoughts all. suffer enough. to feel nothing and i. agree. to talk really if you are a. result among the businesses. because it's a. no no no no it's up on the case if it's not written out of the back and a bit now to baghdad to all three. more to the way people are. offering up different responses we've got to turn to something small because no one thought all. this stuff enough in fact missional god i like negative three. teams are truly sometimes people are. going to bring the result. of the earth to the. suffering of. her antics nothing. to. talk about the present results.

of smith barney, merrill lynch wealth management. when you were in those positions, what did you notice from the top? is there something that happens when you're a c.e.o. that, oh, i can't help the ladies, or is there a road block that is an institutional thing, what is it? ( speaking like a man ) >> well, you know, the pipeline. we've got our diversity committee and the mentoring program, but we need to let our managers manager. >> trevor: right. >> i think c.e.o.s believe in fowler of diversity but middle management is where diversity goes to die, because when it comecomes time to promote the nt person, you say, well, i heard research that says diversity drives results, but that young man reminds me so much of myself when i was younger, i feel he's going to do a better job. >> trevor: that's a powerful way to put it because you read so many times that people hire the people who remind them of themselves, so you have a vicious psych of these men who are white, hiring white men who remind them of themselves, and sometimes it's an imp

exasperated or would be really late so in plain towards of the range i don't i think you really should ask mr barney a and the european to go see mr young i think they are sensible people but mr barley for example bishop ali was a french ghost brought up in a pretty hard political school commission says if only they would tell us what they want it's the nearest i've ever seen to that particular political information come to almost compassion. sure but please go to the state is actually feeling a bit sorry for the british to go shit i think he's in ash moment of nash is becoming a moment of nash. embarrassments the failure to to grab a key here and position i said that's why i supported mrs may's deal i mean she struck a deal with europe she went back to her party which refused to back it and now what we're seeing is a very. desperate last minute attempt to to reach some form of some of the some way of resolving it within the conservative party the underlying threat is and it we are very very close to reaching that moment is mrs may losing control not just of the house of commons but of the conservat

they might they have to settle that at the time we leave otherwise they pick up a bigger bill so mr barney a knows very well that until this for example is settled nothing is settled but we are we are there's no point in revisiting history there's no dance in the country for a further general election what their arguments for from i know from standing on doorsteps in my constituency is for the u.k. government to proceed with the negotiations and then that the best possible deal so that's why all these things should be very much explored the my point is that in trying to get a solution that kate's both remain as and bricks are two years britain seems to be reduced to putting forward ideas that are pretty much unworkable is the. really the best your party can do well i think that all options have to be on the table until there was an objective well i think the understanding is understanding of the why things are rejected now the fact that referendum has been hugely divisive in this country and i do think one of the mistakes made early on was not trying to acknowledge that whilst they leave c

or going into barney's i was in bloomingdale's a few days ago and it felt like i is for on me. it's an incident where people have claimed discrimination. it's not so great all the time that's how i reconcile there are towns we didn't even know existed for decades. it's a hard city for black americans as well and especially our neighborhoods are safer segregated but we still are in space is often brings together people take the train together, sometimes we are even on the same block together with people that are different from us so it feels like maybe we are more integrated and we are one of the most segregated places in the country because we don't interact with each other. we are very segregated and that's how i kind of reconcile that and we can talk about it. everyone thinks they are immune to it and i think the south is better about acknowledging that. a lot of america is quite segregated. i feel the north somehow was better than the south but as you point out in the book -- >> guest: even the unionization's for example it's something that does positively impact african-ame

we want to develop more affordable housing and as you know, the barney frank letter and i that we wrote with the national housing trust fund we were supposed to get those dollars as they paid off their debt to the gse we felt some of that money should go to the development of lower income housing but as it turns out at the time the fha said it should go back into the general fund so we lost a great portion of that money so we lost money and you cannot do it so i am committed as i said to a huge bill on homelessness of a billion dollars we have got to do that and to work more closely with those are interested to develop low income housing to ensure they get some help from our government to do that. >> fantastic another area that you raise is diversity and the news is creating a new subcommittee which is really exciting. you have done a lot of work the last several years how diverse boards and companies are more profitable and other countries have systems of quotas but even if there is no requirement of reporting, what do you see as the agenda even the fact that you are talking about it h

we did that with barney frank and fannie and freddie. but let's get into this cortez twitter fight with former republican governor scott walker of wisconsin. scott walker was incorrect. he got what was cortez was saying wrong. she is talking about a new top marginal rate, not all tax at 70%. explaining tax rates to fifth graders. imagine if your grandmother gave you $10 and your parents took $7 from you. set that aside. here is the deal, amber. you know i covered taxes and the irs and i testified before congress on irs reform twice. when you look at data, the 70% rate would bring in $30 billion a year over 10 years. that's about an hour's worth of government expense. >> when you tax people at that high a rate, they finder ways to report their income. so the tax rate is minimum mall. the people at the what she calls the tippy top get their money from capital gains that are gains from invest thes that are taxed at you a different rate. she has a pie in the sky dreams of pie in the sky programs that she thinks will be able to be paid for by

i still have a relationship with the upper east side and going into barney's, i was in bloomingdale a few days ago and it felt like there were eyes on me. some of it is anxiety. it's not so great. that's how i reconcile. everywhere it's terrible. there are some areas we didn't even know existed for decades. it's a horrid city -- hard city where those spaces are often times together sometimes even on the same block together it feels like we are more integrated than we are because we don't interact with each other. there is like the black harlem professionals. i can't reconcile that and i think in the south they can talk about it more. i think the south is better acknowledging that. a lot of america is quite segregated. there's this idea that it was somehow better for that isn't the case at all. it is something that positively impacts how they get better jo jobs. there was somehow an active movement to keep us out and there was a huge thing that brought them into the middle class we have to think about and that is a very learned thing in housing particularly like i said in the neighborh
