I can sum up MC's comments as they are the exact same since he was nominated, "THEY NEED MORE CAPITAL!".

Of course. Just recognize that this means FnF have to raise capital, not just retain it.

A direct quote from Calabria in that video (start at 18:50, emphasis added):

But the surest path to avoiding Fannie and Freddie receivership runs through, again, raising enough capital to keep Fannie and Freddie strong during a down time.

Raising. Not retaining.
