james freeman from "the wall street journal," and also a fox news contributor, and ed henry, our chiefank you. >> bill: i know you love easter. >> sandra: thank you for that, ed. >> now it is the war on easter. >> sandra: where does it end? >> bill: where do we begin? >> sandra: your thoughts? >> that was just a phone call i was getting from bill. we compared notes. i just want to take a deep breath, you know. it's over, and the democrats don't quite know it yet. now it is a political battle, but the door is shut on collusion. they have not just said that there were allegations of collusion, but for two years, they said there was evidence of collusion. thousands of subpoenas, all the rest. no, that door is closed. makes me wonder why bob mueller didn't make a call and say this is where they should have gone. instead, leaving it open. >> bill: wild speculation here. does he not make a call because of the pressure of those around him on his team? >> this is the way the fbi traditionally operates. they gather the facts, and then they turn it over to the attorney general to make a conclusi

here with more is james freeman our friend from the "wall street journal" also author of borrowed time for another potential crisis. >> government incentives driving us all to invest in housing. encouraging people to borrow. encouraging banks to lebsd. lend. we still have at love that same architecture. taxpayers are standing behind $7 trillion of mortgages. and we have seen some signs lately. this is -- it's not like the housing market has been roaring. kind of modest growth. loans are starting to get riskier. and that's what i think has to be a concern. ed: some banks have recently started announce ideas of yeah, your credit score can be i believe in the low 6s and that's fine. that's subprime that got us in the last problem. >> we seen just thi in this week a rollout of a no income, no assets. you don't verify th the assets of the borrower. you may recall before the housing crisis you also had ninja loans. you don't have to show you have a job neither. you wonder how could this ever happen? i think it's only when people believe crises will always keep rising and that was largely bec
