fox business jeff flock explains what they are trying to do. hi, jeff. >> hello to you. me. the fellow buying this one has his mortgage. starting today, yes, you have a higher credit score and pay slightly more than you would have before. it is the government's attempt to try and bring more folks at the lower end of the economic spectrum into the home-owning universe. government says well, it is not going to cost other people. look at their statement. this from the federal housing finance authority. they say higher credit score buyers are not being charged more so lower credit score buyers can pay less. that said, take a look at an example. it's what it looks like is happening. if you have, for example, a 640 credit score now, below average score. they put 20% down with a $350,000 mortgage you would have paid about $10,000 in fees. that's before today. now it is more like $7800. if you have a 740 credit score, very good credit. before you would have paid less than $2 thousand in fees. now you will pay $3 thousand. some are questioning the fairness of that. we also talked

jeff flock is at philly international airport. jeff, you spend a lot of time in airports.hat is the reaction there? >> sadly, fortunately i'm not going anywhere, i like it when that happens. we talked to some folks about that thing, the reaction is summed up in the words of no duh, but yeah, here what happened, the house transportation committee said let's get to the bottom of this. asked the general accounting office to check out cancellations. are they the weather like the airlines often say or something else, like maintenance problems, or staffing problems. the answer is in, and yeah, it's the airlines' fault. take a look at the numbers, sandra. this is -- the people that did worse were the budget carriers like spirit, jetblue, frontier, the numbers from the gao, 82% of the flights at spirit were the result of problems at the airlines, not the weather. the carriers that did best would be the legacy carriers, delta, united, less than 50% of the flights there were something other than weather. yeah, as i said, pretty much a no duh response from the flying public, take a l

jeff flock is with us. all right, jeff. this rule punishes people with good credit.reporter: well, first of all, let me wish you a happy may day, mr. "varney", but you know, the idea behind this is to try and help people that have questionable credit, or are low income. that's the idea behind it. that means that the fees for their loans will go down a little. at the same time, fees for people that have money like you and me, will go up a little. is that a coincidence? well the government says that's not what they're doing. take a look at what the federal housing finance authority had to say about it. they say, and i quote them now. "higher credit score buyers are not being charged more so lower credit score buyers can pay les" that's what they say, but if you look at the numbers and i'll give you an example. it certainly looks like that's what they are doing. for example, if you have a 640 credit score that's considered below average. you put 20% down on a house, $350,000 mortgage. before today, you would have paid about $10,000 in fees. after today, less than $8,000

jeff flock is live in princeton junction, new jersey on this.hocker and sort of seemed to be sneaking by all of us, it was not a major announcement but it was certainly out there. so, why are they doing this? >> well, sandra, you know, building generational wealth is perhaps achieved by owning your own home and the government is trying to make it easier for folks with lower credit scores to get into that game. unfortunately, critics say they are doing it at the expense of people with higher credit scores who have done a better job keeping their financial house in order. take a look at one example of how this is playing out. say you have a 640 credit score, that would be considered a below average credit score, and you put 20% down on $350,000 mortgage. in the past, before today, you would have paid more than $10,000 in fees. now you are paying less than $8,000. so a nice break for you if you have lower credit scores. problem is, if you have a 740 credit score, considered a very good score, in the past you would have paid less than $2,000 in fees

to jeff flock joining us now from a new jersey town come up with a very unique way to combat this. umpire temperature typically stands in little league baseball , behind the catcher behind the plate and if you have been to a little league game you know, liz it's not very far from the umpire to the folks in the stands, the parents and yes, you are absolutely right. they have not been kind to umpires of late. harassment is one thing but take a look at some pictures we have of things that have gotten out of hand in little league baseball. parents confronting umpires over missed calls allegedly, doing everything from a costing them to shouting at them, following them to their cars, starting fights on the field. it is leading to that what you said, as a shortage of folks willing to take it on. so here, in deptford, new jersey they come up with a plan. if you are guilting of one of those offenses they will ban you for a year unless you agree to become an umpire yourself. volunteer your time, get behind the plate and see what it feels like. don bazufi is the president of the deptford littl

jeff flock is live at a 7-eleven in philadelphia. jeff?minimize, liz, the losses by walmart and home depot and the rest but what if you've only got one 7-eleven franchise and you have all these folks stealing your stuff? i'd love to get the voices of the people who this is impacting vincent emmanuel is one of those how do you survive out there? >> the problem is that we have a family to feed just like everybody else. every dollar is a dollar for us too. the problem is that i have three daughters have all been to medical school and all that stuff and with that kind of bill very recently it's almost like impossible, you say hail mary before you come to work everyday and you know what? there's nothing wrong with saying something like that but everyday we're scared to death about operating this store. we don't know what to expect the following day and that's what goes on. liz: liz take a look at the numbers. some people blame the lack of prosecution so up to this date in 2023, there are over 5,000 incidents of retail theft in philadelphia. the

our jeff flock is live at one 7-eleven in philly where the owner says crime is costing him thousands d again he doesn't have millions to play with, right, jeff? reporter: exactly, david. you hit it right on the head. walmart with its earnings said man they are really getting killed by retail theft. well, they maybe can handle it not to minimize that, but here is a guy who can't handle it so much because you have vincent emmanuel just one 7-eleven franchise. >> that's exactly right. we've been in business for 43 years and i only have one store and i have three daughters and my wife and we have a family to feed. reporter: here is the numbers i want to show david these numbers in philadelphia specifically. we had over 5,000 incidents of retail theft this year in the city. only 131 arrests. why is that? >> well, the district attorney in philadelphia thinks that i don't know what their mindset is he probably feels that shoplifting like a small crime really doesn't mean anything. reporter: it's not small to you. >> it's not. the older days of somebody coming and stealing a candy bar and a s

jeff flock is at a home for sale that's about to close in princeton junction, new jersey. py that they've got their mortgage already, liz, yeah. the idea behind this new rule is that, you know, you want to bring many if lower income folks into the, you know, home-buying world. that's the way to generate generational, you know, generational wealth. that said, it comes, it appears to come at the expense of folks who have kept their financial houses in order, for lack of a better term. the government says this is not their intent. ache a look at the message -- take a look at statement from the federal housing finance authority. they say, quote: higher credit score buyers are not being charged more so lower credit score buyers can pay less. that's what they say, but take a look at these examples. we just have been illustrating this today, i think it makes the point. if you have, for example, a 640 credit score, that's below average, you put 20% down on a $350,000 loan, before today you would have paid over $10,000 in fees. today, starting today, less hand $8,000. now, if you ha
