reform, these concerns make the use of a ginnie mae model more problematic. chla is gathering input from small issuers or recent supervisory actions and plans to release a comprehensive report early next year offering recommendations on balancing duo goals on maximizing consumer choice and access to mortgage credit. in closing, we commend the committee's efforts. it would be ideal for congress to enact a balanced housing reform bill into law. however, if they can't do so now, our written statement offers a path forward. fhfa and the treasury should take administrative action in order to continue the significant progress that's already been made to date to reform the g.s.e.'s. thank you for your opportunity to participate today. chla looks forward to continued dialogue with committee members on housing finance reform and i look forward to your questions today. on a personal note, i hope you all find yourself among the comfort family and friends this holiday season. thank you.

moore, told the "washington post" the following on ginny thomas.ite house and gets her stuff on the president's desk. >> well, that's scary, given some of the things that ginny is putting on her facebook page. but i will say this. you know, i was surprised and also kind of interested to see this story. because there is so much attention on george conway, ideas and things that i agree with george conway says on his twitter page. and people are saying, well, george conway is saying this. how does this affect kellyanne conway, she can't do her job. split household. and here we have ginny thomas, spouting some -- not just far right. some of the things she has said are down right conspiracy theories. she said the parkland children were a danger to democracy. that's not just conservative. that's -- i would even say -- >> she deleted that post. >> and she deleted that post. but put it up in the first place. it still lives on the internet somewhere. so i will say that i was -- interested to see that it seems as though folks in the media and other folks are

(justine) some supreme court watchers say virginia thomas is fully entitled to her own opinions. but with the high court being under close scrutiny, it's also important to stay away from any appearances of impropriety.

we have a large concern with the risk given the changes underway at ginnie mae. when we were behind in support of the transition to ginnie mae, we did that because we felt it was a proven vehicle for funding loans and it took very, very little risk at the government side. it has never lost money and it is always provided a good source of funding. but it did not make the credit decisions that would roll into the second one which is access to credit. control some access by the number of people that it allowed to be in its program. the number of issuers in its program allows it -- determined how many people and in what way they could get it. so your specific question about transition risk, i see significant transition risks transferring from something that is known to something that is unknown. and i think that what is going on at ginnie mae is making it uncertain and that is what it is going to look like. they have a 2020 initiative not going to be done until 2021. and so we're going to be moving to something that is in a state of transition and i think that poses

that many ginnie mae not allow cetera, do for assumability. even completely assumable mortgages, because your house up in value, so if somebody wants to buy it, they've got to high-priced a second in order to assume your lower-cost first. mr. pollock or someone else, if we turn to the and said, this is an assumable mortgage, you can't assume that the average homeowner will pay it off in 11 years or move in 11 years. one or another. would that increase the price of a mortgage? certainly increase its value to the home buyer. >> congressman, there are assumable -- ive think a better word is portable mortgages, like canada, for i believe australia does as well. it's a risk to the lender which has to be priced. and you let the market find that risk. could i make one other -- >> no. all witnesses to answer for the record what effect they think it would have on how much the price would be. gentleman isy, the about 30 seconds over his time. so the time of the gentleman has expired. >> i ask for a written answer. >> every witness can indeed answer in w

you tarnish the people's faith in the court and you ought to be ashamed of yourself. >> ginni thomasht to have whatever opinion she wants. she has every right as an individual to express those opinions publicly. the question is whether, by expressing those opinions publicly, she is calling into question, she is providing fodder for those who want to attack the impartiality, the credibility, the institutional legitimacy of the supreme court. >> reporter: ginni thomas didn't respond to our requests for comment. >> you're the best man walking the face of the earth. >> reporter: she did interview her husband in january as a contributor for the conservative site, "daily caller." >> oh, god, you make me laugh. >> reporter: their banter offered a window into their close and playful relationship. >> i keep a sign on my desk, don't make fun of your wife's choices, you were one of them. >> thank you. i really appreciate that. and that's so true. okay. what do you -- what do you say -- >> plus i love my wife. >> reporter: but he also seemed to distance himself from her outspoken conservative co

we should certainly not rely on any special foresight in the federal housing finance agency or in ginnie mae to deal with this problem. an approach to fannie and freddie would be to continue the current operations but treat them for capital and regulatory purposes, the same as every giant bank including making them sifis and this would remove the arbitrage which drove the expansion and riskiness in the past. five, the bipartisan draft provides for a larger role for the federal home loan banks in security of conventional mortgage loans for smaller financial institutions and this is definitely a good idea. in addition i recommend that the home loan banks be authorized to form a joint subsidiary dedicated to mortgage finance including securityization but advancing structures with lender skin in the game on a national basis. and this would be specially advantageous for smoke local lenders everywhere in the country. in conclusion, as the bipartisan draft proposes we need to move to a system with more robust risk distribution if we want to have sustainable home finance and thank you very much

after read i would please encourage you to give ginny high school or college kids and in r family withyour kids or grandkids or nieces or nephews. my wife for the book and she's at the one thing i would like to see is a wish they would use this book in high schools and colleges because it is a lot of history you can otherwise get. i dedicated the book to carl and it contained a quote from the beginning. carl said the american dream is alive and well in this country of ours. i know it. i lived it. and he did live it and it's one of the reasons carl and i got along so well. i also lived the american dream. i was born also in northern ohio, in cleveland, ohio, in a working-class family as elizabeth said, my grandparents are immigrants of this country. they left the -- if it stayed rather than here addressing at the freedom fest i'm probably a baldwin toothless farmer sitting on a fortune slovakia. they left to come to a country where there was opportunity. they came to the united states. we were a working-class family but back in the some people that are close to my age, we never really t

you look at the size of the companies being run by these 25 women, whether it is ginni at ibm, or indra who ran an extraordinary job at pepsi, or mary barra, these are predominantly male industries, many of them, and the fact that women have broken through gives me optimism. having said all of that, i think it is up to the pipeline, so it is an even playing field, but every slate has to be filled with women, so if you are promoting somebody, if you are hiring and using an outside search firm, i think you have to refuse it if the slate is not equally balanced. it doesn't mean the woman has to get the job, but if you're bringing me a slate that is not half women, don't look at it. i think that is true for a board member, outside hire, promotion, a simple but critical discipline, because the outcome will never it there if the input is wrong, and the input is still wrong. david: has the paradigm for ceo shifted towards you? in the sense that you go back a generation, the brash, bold, typically male ceo is what is brought to mind. has that paradigm shifted? andrea: i think the paradigm is sh

. >> president trump with mexican -- pina-ginny nieto, as well as prime minister trudeau. what do we have coming up next? >> in terms of nafta, the u.s. to get it ratified. u.s. trade representative robert lighthizer saying they are going to talk about that next week. they are going to have new negotiations, but the tariffs remain in place for right now. justin trudeau, noting it in the signing ceremony, telling the u.s. president donald, we need to do something about that. >> the u.s. raising the bar ahead of the g20. expecting dinner with xi to be a success. a few minutes ago, markets cheered by the fact that the u.s. trade secretary robert lighthizer asked about it. he expects the dinner to be a success, but he did not say what success actually is. here is what he went on to say. in the part of the quebec get -- in the part of the court that gets left out that may mean a lot at the end -- there will be a positive dealing on behalf of both presidents. in terms of doing a deal, that is up to the president of the united states and the president of china. saying it is going

terrific partners and members of the aspen cybersecurity group that i'm very proud to co-chair with ginny rimedi and congressman will hurd. i appreciate your contributions to those efforts and of course, hosting and sponsoring discussions like this morning's. it's a treat for me to be here to recognize the accomplishments of really two great friends, john carlin and garrett graft. they have written a terrific book at a very important time. it's also nice to be sharing, i should say not a stage, but a plot of space here with david sanger. one of the most thoughtful commentators and intrepid reporters on these issues. his byline is must reading. for those of us interested in national security, particularly the direction of the cyber threat. david likes to bemoan the fact when i was in government, some of the people around me would discourage me sometimes from talking to him. now, david referred to these folks as my minders. i referred to them as staff and colleagues. so it doesn't take a pulitzer prize winning journalist to appreciate the irony that one of those people is sitting right next

. >> ginni injoining me now, prof princeton university, eddie glaut.e, matt welch. a fair deal? >> sure. democrats need to fight donald trump for the next two years. you don't necessarily go into a fight with someone who doesn't know how to throw a punch. >> maybe she's even smarter than throwing a punch. she didn't actually. she outwitted him. >> it landed like a punch a couple of days ago. didn't have another alternate theory of the case of who else would be a legitimate contender. >> and she did make some compromises. eddie who stands to make the most? >> i think the younger members of the house, they stand to gain. the democrats generally stand to gain. we need experience in this moment. we don't need anyone who doesn't know how to throw punches. or how to count votes. >> be careful of that we business. >> exactly. i think this is a great moment for us. it seems to me the democrats need to be very deliberate about succession, right, who's going to take the mantle of leadership. this is setting the stage for that i think. >> this one certainly caugh

didn't include ginny pirro. >> my apologies to the judge. >> let's let janine pirro have her say.southern border is a promise that you made, ran on, got elected on and must keep, but more than that, it is your legacy and you cannot allow them to force you to compromise. so here we are, days before the christmas holiday, and you are facing the most important issues that americans elected you to confront. your promise to build the wall. >> it would be funny except that it's real. donald trump really must have the support of those people because if robert mueller comes out with a report that's pretty damming, the thing that keeps him in power and keeping him in power is how he doesn't get indicted is that he has this base that never leaves him. >> you brought up the right wing media. despite this president having so many characteristics of a dictator, he does lack in this one area. dictators usually tell him what to do. here the right wing media tells donald trump what to do which is crazy. it's the most outlandish, crazy right wing voices. janine pirro is a nut. it doesn't matter th
