and i think that's what matt egan was getting to there. management of the company should have been able to raise $2 billion without sending the whole thing down the tubes, right? that's what the complaints are inside the company. this management should have been able to manage interest rate risk, which is how you run a bank, you manage interest rate risk, and they did not do that properly. and what kind of pressure to your point does this put on the federal reserve? goldman sachs this weekend in a note to clients said, they don't think the fed will raise interest rates at all because of this. because there's stress in the banking system right now, and we know that this bank broke and other banks have broken because of the rapid pace of interest rate increases. >> is that good for consumers that they're not going to do that. >> it is, unless inflation is a real bad problem. and this delays their ability to get inflation under control. it's a bunch of tough choices over at the fed. >> the reality is, gary becker, the ceo was also, until a fe

. >> you said this weekend to my colleague matt egan that the fed should pause raising interest ratesing they should not raise rates at all. >> right. >> next week. what happens if the fed does raise even 25 bases points next week? >> right. well, 25 bases points would probably be less bad. i do think they should hit pause. i said that last december. look, i'm an inflation hawk. i've been arguing for normalizing interest rates since 2010. i have not liked this extended period of loose money, of cheap money. but, you know, if you look at where they started, they've raised rates by 6,000 percent. they started at .08 and now 4.5. they need to hit pause and see what the impact of this will be on the financial system and the overall economy. so, yes, i do think that would be prudent. they can tighten later, but now they need to stop f they need to. now they need to stop and assess. >> many fingers pointed many directions, many at the 2018 roll back of part of dodd-frank, basically raising the bar for when a bank is considered systemically important. a lot of these banks of concern fall bel

. >> let's bring in matt egan. what else should we expect from this meeting?st important fed decisions of the jay powell era. just under 24 hours, the fed is going to announce its decision here. and over the past year or so, they've been waging this really aggressive war on inflation. we always knew there was a risk that that could backfire because history shows that the faster they raise interest rates and the higher they go, the more likely that they break something. and so now we learn that something has broken, specifically the banking market with these bank failures. and so now there's a question, what is the fed going to do? a former fdic chair sheila bear, she wants the fed to pause and survey the damage. and goldman sachs has predicted they will pause, not raise interest rates so they don't worsen the pressure in the banking market. but there actually is growing confidence among investors that the fed is going to go ahead and raise interest rates despite the bank failures. there's an 84% chance being priced into the market that the fed races interest r

cnn's matt egan joining us now. this slide being driven by the second biggest bank failure in u.s.istory. what happened? >> erica, this happened so fast. it's stunning. silicon valley bank shut down by california regulators after the stock crashed by 60% yesterday after the bank said it needed to rapidly raise cash. this is easily the biggest bank failure since washington mutual fell apart in 2008 during the financial crisis. silicon valley bank, if you haven't heard of it, it is a major lender to tech start-ups. the fdic says that depositors that have $250,000 or less, they are insured here. they will get their money. they will get access to their money as soon as monday morning. but we know that some people, some entities, some start-ups, they have more than $250,000, and it's less clear what's going to happen to them. how did this happen? well, when the fed spikes interest rates, things tend to break. we know that the fed rate hikes have hurt the valuation of the tech companies that this bank catered to, also has hurt the value of the bonds that banks rely on to get cash. erica,
