what has freddie mac said about just that key question? >> well, freddie mac has said that they're not going to comment on the inner workings of its portfolios. so they referred us, basically, to their regulator, which did issue a statement yesterday that was interesting in some ways, if you want to talk about that. >> tom: yeah, we'll quick. give us the idea. this is the federal housing administration regulator of fannie mae and freddie mac, both in conservatorship. did it defend the portfolio trades? >> one thing as a reporter you look for, nothing in the statement said that we had gotten any facts wrong. you also look-- did we get the story right? >> tom: did not quibble with the analysis. >> did not quibble with any of the facts in the story. i believe they were trying to say, look, we have a huge portfolio, hundreds of billions of dollars. these trades were only several billion dollars. but we're talking about $3.5 billion worth of trades tied to $20 billion worth of mortgages that involved tens of thousands of real homes and real hom

our story deals with loans owned by freddie mac, guaranteed by freddie mac. the transactions we are talking about where loans were cut up, those were freddie mac boned loans -- owned loans. anyone around the world can buy mortgage bonds. if they fail and they are guaranteed by the government, the government makes good on the guarantees. i do not know if anybody has done the numbers on how many of the payouts have gone to foreign investors versus investors in this country. that is how is works -- it works. host: philadelphia on the democrats' line. caller: i want to know what is really being done. it sounds like freddie mac is still all right. guest: jesse eisenger, hinted that the after-effects of your story. long term, what might happen on capitol hill because of your story? guest: 1 is the fate of president obama's housing initiative, the things chris talk about. the second thing is, is grappling with how to resolve the entities. nobody wants conservatorship where we have freddie and fannie lost forever. that is untenable. there is a debate about what we sh

more money for freddie mac. host: chris arnold, is this a deliberate ploy by freddie mac to do this? guest: well, we are not alleging that freddie mac did anything illegal. nothing in our report turned that out. there is a fire wall between the investment side of the business and the side of the business that manages home policies. but at the same time, it is fair to ask the question. credit is being tightened and a lot of ways that some people think don't make sense. the federal reserve has raised questions at the same time that freddie mac is placing these target it bets, as jesse said, that pay off. this is sort of a leveraged, magnified way. this is important to understand. that's say that we loan you $100,000 to buy a house. traditionally, the way this works, if you refinance, you have 100,000 hours back. ok, we're not making 7% any more of you, but we have our money back and we can give somebody else the loan with that money. but freddie mac did is they sold off the right to collect the principal, the $100

first, taxpayers paid $150 billion to bail out fannie mae and freddie mac.u paid millions more in bonuses for the mortgage executives. it doesn't stop there. you won't believe what taxpayers are paying for. you are footing the bill for legal expenses and for former fannie mae and freddie mac executives and the bill was obscene. you have spent $50 million in legal fees. they are accused of cooking the books to scam you. why in the world are you paying their legal bills? liz mcdonald joins us. why are they paying this enormous legal bill for people being accused of scamming them to begin with? >> guest: because the watchdog of house and finance is essentially saying that fannie mae and freddie mac have contracts with these executives they can't break. you are right. these executives in prior years of securities and accounting fraud. these executives still face billions dollars worth of lawsuits where the legal fees are going to be racked up. hundred million plus in legal fees that the government has been paying for, fannie mae and freddie mac have been paying

is aimed for refinancing hope orns into taxpayer guaranteed mortgages through fanny mae and freddie mac, is that correct? >> actually it would be refinancing them through fha, which is part of hud. but the basic idea here, the president has taken important steps over the last six months to make sure that middle class families who are doing the right thing, paying their mortgages even though they're under water, would have the ability the refinance. the problem is if you happen to have a mortgage that isn't a fanny mae or a freddie mac or fha mortgage, you're out of luck, and you may be doing everything right, paying your bills, but you can't benefit from what are today record low interest rates. >> tom: secretary donovan, with just learned this week that freddie mac has financial positions that profit when homeowners stay in higher interest rate loans. will this practice continue, even under fha administration? >> well, first of all, i was, as you are, troubled by this information, and the treasury department is working with the regulator of fanny mae and freddie mac to make sure that s

the bill -- and freddie mac act. our bill comes in the aftermath of a series of events that began last november when reports surfaced that the federal housing finance agency, fhfa, approved nearly $13 million in bonuses for ten executives at the enterprise -- that enterprise that supervises fannie mae and freddie mac. in response, senator thune and i spearheaded a bipartisan letter signed by 58 other senators to the fhfa acting director, edward demarco, and treasury secretary timothy geithner. we expressed outrage over these pay levels. almost three months after the letter was sent the pressure was on. government regulators were cutting the pay of executives they hired to replace the departing heads of fannie mae and freddie mac. also in response to our efforts, house finance services committee chairman spencer baccus introduced legislation suspending these bonuses and limiting future compensation packages for fannie and freddie employees. in november his committee passed the bill by a vote of 52-4. the begich-thune

well i'm sure they'll look into freddie mac. to placate people just like the attorney general here in california looked into the five biggest banks who committed fraud found to have found them to have committed fraud and then basically gave them a hand out and said all of those families that were the victims of fraud well doesn't really matter here's a few scraps from the table for you to be quiet i think that the u.s. government is so tied in with the banks that even tied in an equal basis but i would say the banks actually sit above the government are the ones that are really dictating domestic and foreign policy that absolutely no politician in washington is going to come out with anything strong against the banks it's going to be that people from below organizing to do like what was done today were banks were shut down all over los angeles where people took militant action to send a message to the banks that if they're not going to do anything to help working families if the government is going to do anything to help working

second, this bill would bring fannie mae and freddie mac on budget. these enterprises rack up billions in liabilities hidden from the public and from taxpayers. last june the c.b.o. testified that it put the total cost of the mortgage commitments made by these two entities at $291 billion and that that cost would ultimately rise even higher. third, this bill increases transparency for information contained in agency budget requests, requiring that they be made public on the internet at the same time as they are provided to congress. government agencies have an obligation to taxpayers to justify every dollar spent in washington. madam chair, no budget process reform can substitute for political will when it comes to tackling our great of the fiscal and economic challenges. getting america back on track will require a senate and a president willing to get serious about the structural drivers of the debt and the continued impediments we have to economic growth. but being honest about the size and scope of our challenges, as this reform calls for, offers

how is freddie mac or how has it been betting against homeowners?ory basically uncovered that on the one hand freddie mac has been making it harder for homeowners to refinance their loans. that's not a big secret. a lot of the industry has been making it harder and tightening. but what we showed was that freddie mac, based on public documents, had at the same time making it harder to refinance was also placing bets to the tune of 3.5 billion. now it looks like it might be $5 billion in these bets that make a lot of money if people are unable to refinance and that lose a lot of money if people can refinance. >> so that essentially was sending a message that freddie mac wanted to people to fail? they didn't even want to throw them a lifeline? >> well, you know, i wouldn't feel comfortable going that far but these bets just show that at least in this one investment that freed dee mack is making, it's got this $5 billion investment tied to 20 and $30 billion in home loans. so probably more than 100,000 american families who have mortgages, they are dire

and tack that on to the $185 billion we have already given fannie mae and freddie mac.says you are throwing money down a deep hole. but we keep doing it because, i think, these guys represent 80 percent or mine percent of all the mortgages and if we hurt them we hurt those mortgages. what do you say? >>guest: well, that is what the president would say, we have to keep these people around or you do not get a mortgage, but the problem is, these has made a lot of promises to the firms and the companies that want this money. so he feels like he has things he has to uphold there. but, the other issue, neil, when you look at a bailout and you throw money at a failing industry, a falling businesslike the housing market, for example, you could run the risk of ringing out of money and the auto companies did the same thing and that is where we are with fannie mae and freddie mac. >>neil: i would entertain if, if, if, if, scott, they were part of the big restructuring, the big investigations that have gone after banks and everyone but fannie mae and freddie mac. in other words the

>> i would certainly start to wind down fannie mae and freddie mac.y haven't been downsized at all since september 2008 when they were put in conservatorship. if you compare it to similar, they have had control of the trust corporation in the '80s, they immediately started downsi downsizing. they can put them in receivership. they can start doing that immediately. >> isn't the problem if they put them in receiver shship it will force a debt restructuring that will seize up the big banks? >> ip don't see that happening. >> can i explain to you how it could happen? the big banks are pretending that the second liens are worth 80 cents on the dollar. when you start to restructure the first mortgage in the open market, you render the second liens 0, which annihilates the balance sheet. it's the same if you put swaps on exchanges. whether it's restructuring at fannie or the first lien in the bond market or my swaps market, the very reason none of these ideas ever happen is because if you were to do them, it would force a complete restructuring of wells farg

apps for my mac, hey, jon? >> that's right, tyler.vestors should understand today's apple announcement. apple sold more than 60 million iphones, ipads and ipod touches. now apple is looking to convert those legions of ios users into mac users in part making them work more like ipads which started in earnest with the last release, lion. now up marginally with the broader market. mountain lion icloud. access and store files on the internet. twitter built into the os as the default social network making ilt easier to share. a mac version replaces that and somewhat ominously named gate keeper lets you determine ahead of time what apps get to run on the system. built as a security features and the bias toward getting people to download from the mac app store. support for chinese language input and chinese services. this is the biggest market. and also interesting here the ipad, there's kind of conflicting reports on how much it's been halted sales in china because of all of these trademark concerns that we've been talking about this week.
