eight years later, bethany says we're still on shaky ground. why, bethany? >> so i've always been fascinated by these two large companies, fannie mae and freddie mac, collectively the largest financial institution in the world with over $5 trillion of outstanding liabilities. and these two companies were created to serve the american dream of home ownership, to help enable the flow of mortgage credit in the united states. and it's funny, because most people even in the financial world don't even care about fannie and freddie. they're part of the hidden infrastructure of our lives, the things we don't think about until they malfunction, but they're critical if you have a mortgage, if you ever want to get a mortgage, because the availability of mortgage credit helps shape your ability to finance your house. they're critical to the price of your house, and homes are still the most important financial asset that most americans have, and they're actually critical to our economy. way back in the 1920s franklin roosevelt's treasury secretary described housing as th

bethany beach. it is raining.in to continue on and off throughout the rest of the day. let's get to the seven day forecast, because, yesterday, we got to 86 degrees. do not expect 80s throughout any of this seven day forecast, including, now, through sunday. weekends looking pretty good. mostly sunny skies, on saturday. clouding up on sunday, we will see how soon that rain begins, on sunday, but it does look like a decent weekend, especially for the last day of april which is saturday, guys. >> okay, let's do some gardening now, we're doing one thing wrong every year. and it involves water. >> what? >> just take the little hose and pour it in. >> jen, just not hose water. come on. >> did you say water? >> waater? >> water? real cool place, called bountiful acres in bucks county with andy. good morning. >> good morning,. >> okay, so the watering thing is always a big deal at my house, because i feel like i've got to crush those plants with water, true, false, more is better. >> more is not always better. >> oh, man

can tending up to the city but as far as north as kent county, delaware, and sussex county, around bethanyeach, seeing rain this morning. so that's the deal. the further south you go, the better you have a chance of seeing some rain. but the big thing is how much cooler it is, we got to 86 degrees for high yesterday. and today, only 62. that's more normal for spring time. tomorrow, showers probably not arriving until the afternoon respect showers on and off friday, gone by saturday, returning sunday night, into monday, and spring showers what we are specking so make your plans around the showers. >> that's right. and all cutting the grass after we get the showers. get that grass cutting rotation. live look here, jammo, on 95, southbound, got crash right there. it is actually right here, 95 southbound, it is right at the onramp, from cottman avenue only three lanes to begin with, sews that's causing delay. ben franklin bridge, no problems at all up and over into downtown. but if you are leaving northeast philly, right around academy road, where we start to hit the brakes, and that's all bec

with us now is bethany mcclain, cnbc contributor, contributing editor at vanity fair.nd this astounding, writing mortgages, doing mortgages, bread and butter of what a bank in america is supposed to do, and yet what has happened to the situation with mortgages in america that an investor would suggest that jpmorgan shouldn't be in the business at all. >> if you look since the financial crisis, the wall street journal added it up recently, the big banks paid a total of $110 billion in fines to the government as a result of their conduct in the years running up to the financial crisis. add in credit related losses on the mortgage business and the reputational costs to the big banks, and you can see why there would be questions about why on earth he would be in this business. >> he goes on to say, the mortgage business can be volatile and has experienced increasingly lower returns. i think we have a full screen as new regulations at both sizable costs and higher capital requirements. getting much more expensive to do, and yet he decides he's going to stick with it. >> rig

at bethany beach, well, we got rain for election day. it's not going to be a washout. there may very well not be much in the way of rain first thing in the morning. why? because there's not much on the radar anywhere near us. we really have to go pretty far to the west to get any kind of significant rain. that's north of chicago, and it's going to take awhile for any of that to move here. as we go through the futurecast, we're going to see some of that moisture coming in, one or two showers around during the morning hours, so you can vote in the morning, especially early without worrying about much rain. later in the day, it's a different story. not only rain, but potentially heavy and strong and gusty thunderstorms. there's a heavy band the storms right around in the afternoon rush coming through to philadelphia area and into parts of new jersey. it's going to be pretty wild during the afternoon there, and them it really clears out as we go into the day on wednesday. at least temporarily. tomorrow, in the lehigh valley, it's going to be warm. it's going to be stormy.

around bethany beach, few showers down in sussex county, delaware, future cast shows the clouds stickinghout the rest of the morning, and chance of some more significant shower activity. southern delaware, maybe even into the cape may county area, in new jersey, so, it is just, again, just close enough for that. and the front kind of meanders up and down and sticks close by. but we'll also possibly see today, and maybe tomorrow, early, some sunshine. now, 4:00 a.m., looks like clouds will be clearing, then throughout the day on thursday, we'll see some more showers, and they will be on and off throughout the rest of the day. let's just say it stays un settled through thursday afternoon, into friday morning, we see more rain, hopefully clearing out by friday evening, and then into saturday, because friday evening got our big 20th anniversary party for good day philadelphia. and it is happening at the sugarhouse casino. hopefully you signed up for that. if you did we will see you there. nobody wants to go out in the rain if you don't have, to even though the party itself is inside. looks l

to my right bethany mclean. she's a contributing editor at "vanity fair," a columnist at fortune and also contribute to cnbc. she co-authored the smartest guys in the room about the fall of enron, but more important than that she actually foretold it a few years earlier when she started asking questions, is enron overvalued and is a transparent? selections when she says there may be another issue brewing we probably ought to sit up and take a listen. to my left is ben strauss, a very talented contributing writer to the "new york times." he's written extensively and in depth on college athletics but really much more important than that he is dived into the very rich and multidimensional human interest stories behind college athletes and athletes around the world. actually he's got my sons dreamb job or frankly, my dream job. so a truly great to have you here, and thank you both for coming to this years annapolis book festival.
