mr. cooper, have you had to fire anybody? mr. cooper: i have not personally had to fire anyone, no. mr. correa: that's impressive. most of the time there are a lot of bad apples out there. you end up firing folks because sometimes it doesn't matter what your mission statement is, the interest of making a buck sometimes outweighs the interest of following your mission statement. in reference to what my colleague, mr. takano, put up do you put this online? the state of california, if you have a doctor that is civilly fined, that goes online. the bureau of automotive repairs, any violations go online. so you as a consumer have any issues, you immediately go online, see who the heck it is you are dealing with, and that information is disclosed to the world. it's not rocket science, folks. we can do this very easy. it's very hard also to try to second-guess the economic motives for a veteran to refinance. buydowns, interest loan, fees, points. as you know, sir, sometimes with these folks, they'll difficult you discount on the points but jack you up on the fees. at the end of the day you get

mr. cooper. i now recognize and yield myself five minutes. i may have to yield early and i would rather yield to my colleague, but in the event i have to leave i want to put my thoughts out there and ask you guys question. i've spent four years as a regulator in washington during the bush administration, george w., at the fdic, and my philosophical view of regulation is that the best way to regulate in a private market is to have full transparency and robust competition so that people know what they're getting and they have choices. because presumably if people are buying things and if they are choosing to enter into these transactions, there must be a need. there's no market if there's no need, and i think that mr. motley would understand that being in the industry, but this isn't a private market. this is a government market. explain that to me more, mr. bright. explain the difference between the sort of light touch, limited intervention with this sort of transparent, robust competition that fr

mr. cooper. any action we take doesn't have any unforeseen consequences. like to copy the lender fees in time that for the veterans so the lender cannot collect fees in excess of what the veteran saves over a period of time. like those cap origination fees or du think as long as there any fees permitted lenders will still seek? >> i believe personally there are already restrictions in place with the amount of fees that can be charged. the difficulty is if you buy down the interest rate for the discount points then to be rolled into the loan. that is another disclosure issue. how far down did your rage go when he purchased those points? so i think it does fall in line with the other pieces we talked about already there may be other ways to handle that. i don't know specifics what the caps could look like in addition to what is already there but that could be one solution. >> mr. london have there been other organizations find for predatory behavior? is their ability to do that? >> we do have some ability some penalties we can apply that that is in reference

mr. cooper is someone that has known mr. sessions for a long time. >> i know this is tricky, but i remember last week when steve bannon was speaking with members of congress, and there was this executive privilege. he could talk about things up until the transition, and then he couldn't. other members of president trump's cabinet might not have been part of the campaign team, but jeff sessions certainly was. is he going to be in this situation, as well? >> well, the white house has taken differing views on executive privilege to the special counsel and to capitol hill. on capitol hill, the white house is going to try and enforce as much executive privilege as possible and stop witnesses from telling the hill things that would touch on things that the president was deeply involved in on executive privilege levels. with mueller, the white house made the calculation they will not win those executive privilege wars and that mueller will get what he wants. they have taken perspective of, let's give mueller cooperation, give him e

one of the first topics that they discussed at the conference i think that it's something that as mr cooperointed out were over and done with the harvey weinstein let's be done with that let's move on and make progress in the right direction giving women an opportunity to have a voice robert redford said man let's just sit back and we'll listen and maybe we'll make a nice difference that way and speaking of making a difference already we are seeing there's a there's a significant number of women's of women filmmakers at this year's festival is that right that's right in fact it's increased every year at sundance would be nice to see that the mainstream population as well that at least one thing that at sundance and other festivals across the country in the world last year there were about one third were female filmmakers the directors writers that have this year we have about thirty eight percent nice increase we have a little ways to go if kerry had stated in the press conference but we are making some progress so women are sitting in the director's chairs women are actually writing the sc

encourage other participating states to cooperate mr graham and what i mean by my question is that i think there is absolutely no secret that many in the united states in particular see any efforts to deepen economic or security integration among former soviet states as a sort of stepping stone towards the recreation of the soviet union in its geopolitical role this is what former u.s. secretary of state hillary clinton talked about in very disapproving terms this is what many people in the united states believe and for them in europe you know that conception of europe is whole free they would say at peace but in russia people with interpret as under the american heel and to many in the united states and in the west more generally russia is a spoiler that is trying to destroy this beautiful vision of europe haul free and on to the american influence can you tell me authoritatively that you have never came across that kind of formulation in your work as the. secretary general. i can assure you. office. you see. participating states. in straight lines they want to enter the doubt neces

mr. cooper, a crumb from your table. >> richard quest is throwing us major shade right now. >> he's funnyke cnn gone wild, this show. >> now you're going crazy. >> i know. yeah. have you ever coughed and you have a bad back and every time you cough -- i sound like -- and my goiter, my gout. june 2nd, june 3rd. >> yes. >> so randi kaye, i don't quite understand why would people want to paint if they're high. >> it's fun to paint when you're high. it's fun to do anything when you're high. >> i don't understand that. >> those paintings were nice, i think. >> sure. why not? absolutely. >> i like that guy mike who says everything looks better if you squint, which is true, actually. if you think about it, lots of truisms. by the way, i love the interview with mayer and chappelle. >> yes, calm and nice and smart. 25 minutes away from the stroke of midnight, which is obviously going to be very exciting. >> slow march to midnight. >> the energy, yes. picking up. >> yeah. >> you're like projecting on to everybody. when you take a quick break, when we come back we'll have a lot more. when we come ba

so as i pass along i urge you to think community, cooperation and dialogue. mr. goodlatte has helped us with that thank you very much. >> thank you for those kind words from the heart we have former congressman rick white from the professional internet caucus i met him in the mid- 1990s and credit is overwhelming and then to have the idea to take that on. because he makes this a success every year.

and while both countries committed to closer military cooperation, mr macron warned that if britain wanteds to the single market after brexit, then it would have to play by the eu's rules. 0ur deputy political editor john pienaar reports. nothing like a bit of pomp and ceremony to get a big meeting started. monsieur macron and mrs may won't be eu partners much longer, so they are now keener than ever to keep in step where they can, to stay in tune. france is a key ally. brexit is coming and the prime minister is treading a delicate line. cooperation now, always hoping friendship pays off in the future. at least, goodwill is on theresa may's wish list. the president came to this sandhurst summit to talk business about military collaboration and border co—operation. he wanted more cash for border control. he went to a migrant centre near calais this week, and he's been promised another £41; million for border security. more child migrants would be allowed into britain and families reunited faster. borisjohnson and a troupe of cabinet colleagues mingled with french counterparts. the two count

make myself darker and aesthetics and watched everything, antoinette tuff, her interviews with cooper, mri think what she was able to do, she was like a negotiator. remember them saying -- i was watching it as it was unfolding and i was in canada and i'm on the treadmill, what's going on in atlanta? so when i got the script i'm like, i remember this story. she was on the cover of "time" magazine. president obama acknowledged her and it's just great to have someone give their lives for someone else. i'm a mother and you think you send your kids off to school, you know. they're safe. you think you'll see them when you pick them up at 3:00 but this woman was fantastic. >> musical family that you come from. are they showing any interest in doing that? >> no. >> the boys? >> no, no? >> no. >> not so much. >> they don't really even like my voice. mom, okay, she can sing as mom but, mom, can we go to the drake concert?

mr. chairman, and i thank you all of you for your service to the country. it's really appreciated, and it's great to see the interagency cooperation on display here this morning. a question, i guess mr. glen first, you were describing some of the conditions in el salvador, and you were saying, talking about commenting on homicides, gang activity, the violence that's there, pretty violent place, isn't it? >> yes. >> young people that are there, there's coercive activities with these gangs and other groups, coerce them into criminal activities? >> yes. >> what would you say that it's important to have cooperation, as you mentioned with local people in the country, not just the leaders themselves, that's part of what we're trying to instill, as part of the three things you mentioned, correct? >> correct. >> so what are we to make of sending 200,000 people back to el salvador in huge numbers? what's that going to -- what message does that send to people we're trying to make in cooperation with el salvador when they see family members who have fled because of danger, fear, being sent back? is that something that instills, will enhance

ty cobb went on to say in those remarks the president expressed his complete cooperation by mr. mueller. will he testify under oath i asked. well, cob told me the president indicated a willingness to do so subject to the terms that are being negotiated by his council. why is this significant? cob is really putting the focus on the fact this is still a negotiation, that there's still sensitive talks going on behind the scenes. but the big question has been what does the president want? would he be willing to speak to robert mueller? he is indicating a willingness to do so. i asked him whether that interview has been scheduled yet. he said not yet. he expects it will happen in the next two to three weeks, stef. >> next two to three weeks, all eyes will be on that. kelly o'donnell is live in davos switzerland as the real insiders like to call it. president trump just got there a few hours ago. i know he has a big schedule ahead. >> good to be with you, stephanie. the president will have two important one on one meetings of high interest in terms of foreign policy and perhaps less a

mr. bannon will cooperate fully and answer all questions from the special counsel, from robert mueller's stigation. the initial subpoena has now given way to mr. bannon agreeing to meet voluntarily with mueller's investigators, a meeting that is expected to happen soon, and, again, one where sources familiar with the matter say bannon intends to answer all questions and cooperate fully. joining us now is adam schiff. it's really nice to have you back with us tonight, particularly this evening. thankful for you to be here. >> good to be with you. >> if a person is subpoenaed to testify to a grand jury on a criminal or counter intelligence matter and then they are subpoenaed to testify to congress on the same matter, do those things potentially conflict? and if so, does the criminal or counter intelligence matter take precedence over congress's subpoena? >> they don't necessarily conflict, and one doesn't necessarily take precedence over the other. i can't tell you anything about the timing of the special counsel's subpoena or whether it was a reaction to our inviting mr. bannon to appear b

cobb also stressed the president's complete cooperation with mr. mueller. philip? >> kristen welker for us. kristen, thank you. >>> judgment day for disgraced doctor larry nassar, sentenced to 40 to 175 years in prison for multiple sex crimes against women and girls. the sentence comes down after a week of emotional testimony from nassar's victims, who say he molested them under the guise of medical treatment. several of nassar's victims including olympic gymnast aly raisman, simone biles, and jordyn wieber thanked the judge for her sentence. nassar worked for both usa gymnastics and michigan state university. both facing fierce criticism over the scandal. msu's president louwanna simon has now resigned. days after three top board members of usa gymnastics resigned. the u.s. olympic committee is now calling for an overhaul saying all usa gymnastics leaders should step down. and there's economic fallout as well. at&t says it's suspending its sponsorship of usa gymnastics, joining topps like procter & gamble, hershey's and under armour. nbc's kate snow has more on na

mr. holloway: thank you very much for those remarks and for laying out a whole agenda of cooperation, of potential cooperation between russia and the united states. ambassador anatov: not only potential. but history of our relations, the current status of our relations and, of course, the potential. mr. holloway: but we are at a point where relations between our two countries are probably in worst state they have been since the late 1980's, certainly since the end of the cold war. and there is a great deal of mistrust, and you are the new russian ambassador in washington. the u.s. has a new ambassador in moscow, jon huntsman. and when he presented his credentials to president putin, he said i look forward to working to rebuild trust between our two countries, and strengthening the bilateral relationship based on cooperation on common interests. it sounds to me from the remarks you made that would also be a fair description of how you see your mission here in the united states. ambassador anatov: you are right. of course, it is difficult to start working in the united states nowadays, fra

before a grand jury, "the new york times" is now reporting that, quote, bannon has agreed to cooperate with mr. mueller's investigation and will be interviewed in the less formal setting of a special counsel's offices in downtown washington. we've got some of the best reporters and legal minds to help us break it all down. with us from washington, nbc's intelligence and national security reporter ken delanieian. benjamin, msnbc legal analyst and editor in chief of law fair, and friend and former fbi chief jim comey. paul butler former federal prosecutor also msnbc legal analyst, and with us at the table natasha bertrand, political correspondent for business insider. >>> ben, let me start with you and let me ask you, this came across our wire as a bit of a bombshell that steve bannon, one, violated what had been an agreement not to talk about his time as a senior advisor inside the white house, but also that he revealed that he spoke to then chief of staff reince priebus, to sean spicer who was then the white house press secretary, and mark corallo who i believe at the time was acting as a spok

welcome back to worlds apart thomas secretary general of the organization for security and cooperation in europe mr graham and let's broaden our discussion a little bit i heard one official in moscow say that the next few years or to be precise your term will determine whether the becomes a more relevant international body or whether it seizes to exist altogether do you agree with such stark formulation. it would of course. the. huge expectations on my terms. not so sure that i. would like. but of course i'm ambitious and i know it's extremely important to position this organization relevant platform for him to also style lock and for common action on all relevant security issues in the. area and if not the organization will gradually become obsolete in that sense i agree the stakes are high i just want to seize on what you just said and i heard you say before that you are one build the always see into the relevant forum for security dialogue in the euro atlantic and eurasian space and that's an interesting formulation in and of itself because to many decision makers in the euro atlantic community

joined by thomas browning the new secretary general of the organization for security and cooperation in europe mr graham and your think you are very much for your time it's been roughly since month since month since you accepted the position pledging to reinvigorate the organization to specifically focus on dialogue and reviving trust. i wonder if the practical reality of the past six months has perhaps. i think. assumed this office i knew very valuable. expecting me. five familiar bits you know you see. one of my previous job so i was this permanent representative. to the u.n. here you know for five years i chaired the permanent council in two thousand and fourteen. i chaired it then we started the crisis in around ukraine so i'm very familiar of it this institution familiar with its processes you're familiar with the challenges. you often talk about the restoration of trust as the key to the effectiveness but what makes you believe that the organization stakeholders have reached a point when they valued that trust over their immediate policy objectives. look i think one of if not the key challe

shutdown on friday, with democrats making demands on an immigration deal before they're willing to cooperate. mrs alleged slur against the african countries came during a key immigration meeting with members of both parties. >> like most things in politics these days, the democrats and republicans don't agree on what he said or if he even said it. democratic senator dick durbin laid out the words that the president reportedly said. and lindsey graham basically agreed. however, two other senators tom cotton and david perdue seemed to alter their story, going from we can't remember if he said that to a more emphatic denial that he actually said that. >> are you saying the president did not use the word that has been so widely reported? >> i'm telling you he did not use that word, george. i'm telling you it's a gross misrepresentation. i don't know how many times you want me to tell you that. >> i'm telling you i didn't hear it either. >> all i can say is i was immediately in a meeting afterwards where those who presented to the president our proposal spoke about the meeting. and they said those wo

mr. president, i want to thank you for inviting us all up. we had a great planning session for 2018. we hope that 2018 will be a year of more bipartisan cooperation. the president's agenda, much of which he just referred to, are things that we believe there will be a significant number of democrats interested in helping us accomplish. and so, mr. president, thanks for the opportunity to be here.

i am looking forward to future cooperation, mr. president, and thank you for meeting. >> president trump: okay. some questions. how about sara westwood. where is sara? thank you. washington examiner. >> thank you mr. president. yesterday in the meeting with lawmakers you said that you would be open to signing just about any immigration deal that that bipartisan group of lawmakers sent to you. >> president trump: right. >> would you be willing to sign an immigration deal that ultimately does not include funding for the border wall or would that be a red line for you? pvment no, no, no. that will include the wall. we need the wall for security. we need the wall for safety. we need the wall for stopping the drugs from pouring in. i would imagine that the people in the room both democrat and republican, i really believe they're going to come up with a solution to the daca problem which has been going on for a long time. and maybe beyond that immigration as a whole. but any solution has to include the wall. without the wall it all doesn

to find the common areas for joint development through our concerted efforts for more close cooperation. when mr. president visited rok back in november, the two leaders of our nations agreed to actively seek ways to encourage development in state-of-the-art technology and weapons system to implement this great idea, i think consult system between our two nations needs to be strengthened further. for your reference, back in 2014, the u.s. established u.s.-india dtti with india by pursuing deputy secretary and director and working level cooperating channels respectively. dtti agency task force comes under dod and the director for international cooperation is in charge of this effort. through this, transporter, jet engine technology are the areas where the two nations which is u.s. and india are actively seeking cooperation opportunities. in particular, there is an india rapid reaction cell within the dod, and it contributed to decreasing the roa to a whopping six weeks which is a very tangible result. so in this vein, i would like to propose that our two nation, korea and the united states come u

mr. bannon to cooperate with the investigation. the experts also said it could be a signal to mr. bannon who's tried to publicly patch up his falling out with the president that despite mr. trump's legal threats, mr. bannon must be completely forthcoming with investigators. prosecutors generally prefer to interview witnesses before a grand jury when they believe they have information that the witnesses do not know or when they think they might catch the witnesses in a lie." tell us about the piece and the new reporting. >> well, we don't have a lot of insight into mueller's motivations here, but what mueller did was treated bannon differently than he's treated everyone else. in the last few months of last year, mueller had a bunch of white house officials come in and sit for informal interviews in a less formal setting of his office here in washington. but in the case of bannon, he went to him and gave him a subpoena. this came after the book came out. and it just sort of raised the question of why was it that mueller was going to such lengths to do this with bannon? was it just s

mr. president, i am looking forward to future cooperation, and thank you for a very fruitful meeting. >> thank you. >> okay. some questions. how about sara westwood? where is sara? thank you. "washington examiner." >> yes. thank you, mr. president. yesterday in a meeting with lawmakers, you said you would be open to signing just about any immigration deal that bipartisan group of lawmakers sent to you. >> right. >> would you be willing to sign an immigration deal that ultimately does not include funding for the border wall, or would that be a red line for you? >> no, no. >> no? >> we need the wall for security. we need the wall for safety. we need the wall for stopping the drugs from pouring in. i would imagine that the people in the room, both democrat and republican -- i really believe they're going to come up with a solution to the daca problem, which has been going on for a long time. and maybe beyond that immigration as a whole. but any solution has to include the wall, because without the wall, it all doesn't work. you can look at other instances. look at what happened in israel. th

he cited a lack of cooperation from the states. mr. trump created that commission this summer, you'll recall, claiming without evidence that voter fraud cost him the popular vote in the election. hillary clinton received about 3 million more votes nationwide but lost by nearly 80 votes in the electoral college. >>> i'm tracking the snow coming in right now across parts of our area we are seeing snow south of washington, even some heavier snow into parts of southern virginia that's making its way up our way. i'm revising the snow totals just a little bit. i'm going to update you on that and what's coming xt. ne >>> deputy attorney general rod rosenstein discussed the house investigation into russian election meddling today with house speaker paul ryan. house intelligence committee chair devin nunes had set a deadline for today for rosenstein to provide information on a dossier about donald trump's alleged ties to russia or be held in contempt. late tonight nunes said his committee will get the requested documents. >>> meantime, in the m

in those remarks the president expressed his complete cooperation with mr. mueller, the terms are still being negotiated by mr. trump's personal lawyers. will he testify under oath, i asked? cobb responded the president indicated a willingness to do so subject to the terms being negotiated by his personal counsel. the takeaway there is that his legal team is still very much having sensitive conversations with the team of special counsel robert mueller. i know you had a conversation with the president's personal attorney john dowd today who really stressed the fact they are trying to argue that this has been an incredible transparent process. this is what dowd told you, these documents that they have turned over to the special counsel have been voluntarily provided bill the president to the special counsel. it includes privileged material of all kinds. the cooperation and transparency are unprecedented. he went on to say that 20,000 pages have been turned over and that over 20 white house personnel have sat for an interview with the special counsel's team. th

corporations and make sure we can keep those dreamers in the country and cooperate fully with the investigations in congress and as well as mr. mueller so we can get to the bottom of how, at the end of the day, the russians were able to impact the outcome of this election and prevent it from ever happening again. >> democrat from fllel for. come back and talk with us again. >> my pleasure.

mr. trump was speaking hurriedly before leaving for davos, continues complete cooperation with the office of the special counsel and looking forward to speaking with mr. mueller." i can tell you, don, sources tell me that the lawyers, legal team, look at an in-person intervuz a lainte interview as a last resort. not something they necessarily want. also sources tell us, don, robert mueller's team does want an in-person interview with president trump. the team has made that clear to the president's lawyers. now, what will happen, how it will take shape is unclear. all the terms are being negotiated. i'm told they're still in the early stages of trying to work things out with the possible interview, don. >> let me bring you in here, the president was asked whether any meeting with the special counsel would be under oath. i want you to take a listen to this. >> under oath, mr. president? >> you mean like hillary did it -- who said that? >> i said that. would you do it under oath? >> you did say it. you say a lot. did hillary do it under oath? >> i have no idea -- >> i think you have an idea.
