for the much smaller bank accounts from the mortgage lending standpoint. they are able to loosen the screws a little bit and hopefully compete better against the larger banks from an agency standpoint to consumers. >> i was taking a peek and you said there is actually too many banks in the u.s. we could see more m&a among the smaller banks? >> there are 6800 banks in the united states. that seems quite excessive. the fact the asset level has been raised, maybe you see some of these smaller regional banks come together and find out synergies and efficiencies within their regions. i would expect there to be more going forward. lauren: what about the political implications of all of this, john? for 10 years, and this is the big story yesterday, the collapse of bear stearns can the financial crisis and how we dealt with it. particularly liberal and

progressive democrats elizabeth warren saying this is terrible. the robot could lead to another financial crisis. where do you stand on that? >> i was at bear stearns 10 years ago when they bought a. i think what this does is add more sensibility to dodd-frank in and of itself. this is a help for trump in the sense he came into clearly deregulation and dodd-frank was one of his main agendas. clearly this was a big path in the senate, so it helps them bridge the gap is midterm elections are around the corner with the republican party. but i don't think it brings us back to the crisis level. back in february they gave wells fargo a spanking for some of the nefarious actions they've done the past couple years. i don't think this leads us back into the financial crisis, just as more sensibility to

legislation. trained to carry us to see they read straight deal with this. good to see you. cheryl: we've got a lot more coming up. astronaut scott kelly in space and finding some really strange effects on his dna. we've got that. and fox meteorologist at janice dean is coming out. a new storm system out west and not storm is coming east. she is coming up next. ♪ ♪ hey, sir lose-a-lot! thou hast the patchy beard of a pre-pubescent squire!

tillerson. cheryl: griff jenkins has details. we are told a major shakeup is underway. some college even a blood bath and it could come as early as today or tomorrow. friday is the same day according to you guys. sources tell fox news beats are possible changes. take a look. national security advisor h.r. mcmaster to be replaced by john bolton, a familiar face on fox. chief of staff john kelly was budget director mick mulvaney coming out as a replacement in very likely veterans affairs secretary david schalk and out with multiple scandals. rick perry's name has been floated, and calling that fake news. they says the president tapped cnbc host larry kudlow to serve as chief economic adviser replacing gary cohn or resigned last week. there are bumps in the road for those already made. it appears the president's

nominee is mike pompeo and gina haspel are facing opposition from lawmakers like rand paul. >> i will oppose both pompeo's nomination and haspel's nomination. tourism and to make them ahead of the cia after being involved in something so horrendous and i believe to be illegal is a terrible message to send to the world. trading one more note. new reports that attorney general jeff sessions will allow former fbi acting to enter mccain to be fired before he kicks in and he retires following an inspector general's review of mccabe's actions. guys, here is the deal. it may be a good day to keep an eye on the president's twitter as rex tillerson will tell you how he of course found out about major staff changes affect in hand. cheryl: things happening so fast and furious.

griff jenkins, thank you. for more on this from an independent analyst cannot be truthfully and contributor to the hill and author of the new book, kristen kaye. good morning. let's start with the issue of course of what is going on with pompeo peered rand paul saying he will oppose these nominations. secretary of state is to be put in place. his pompeo quinn have a problem getting cleared? >> i don't think so. republicans have believed in the senate, so even if rand paul is an element nomination, nomination, it is still possible for there to be a tiebreaker with senator corker being the tiebreaker. it is possible that he will get the nomination process. trent is such a crucial time with the upcoming meeting with north korea. that's one of the things "the wall street journal" talks about. because the president has the upcoming meeting with kim jong un it in a comment this is a

major shakeup. a cleaning house ago between sessions, rod rosenstein to talk about what ivanka and share its future are appeared all this is a risk of diplomacy to the u.s. >> it might pose little risk, but despite what the media is telling us, i don't think all the turnover is necessarily a bad thing. trump is not a politician. it will take him a while to put together a cabinet that functions like a well oiled machine and represents the platform that he ran on as president. steve dan and once said that trumps original sin was leading the establishment takeover has personnel. and i think h.r. mcmaster has to be the next person to go. a lot of views that conflict fundamentally with the platform. from the beginning of his tenure, mcmaster has said he opposes trumps use of the term radical islamic terrorism. that is a fundamental difference between these two men.

i think a lot of this turnover might be ultimately a good thing. cheryl: obviously that? about the chemistry with mcmaster. the president wasn't there for the beginning. let's talk about white house chief of staff john kelly. he just came on board last summer, but it seems to me in the journal is reporting this morning that the president is finding ways to get around so he can still talk to his friends come is still kind of bring another voice is. do you think that's a risk for kelly's job now? >> i think so when they were brought in to really control the flow of information and the voices that were having an influence on him. that suggests that maybe john kelly, his days are questionable whether he still has control over what the president is gearing. when they look at shakeups in the white house.

maybe it's time for them to move out. another issue is that there have been some high-level profile examples of cabinet members who have been caught up in scandals, financial scandals in terms of how many are being sent. and so what if we want to have fiscal discipline and take that to the agencies, the leaders have to model that as well. cheryl: exposing the spending does not go over well in the white house. fox news reported that extensively. on the issue of allure and -- we all know him from his tv days. what do you expect him stepping into the economic advisory role? do you think will get more movement on tax reform, a.k.a. gary cohn to point out? >> absolutely. you mentioned before chemistry. any people who get along with the president and share his vision for the country.

we could be looking at a to point out tax reform, which could make the personal tax cut permanent because right now they are expect to expire in 2025. this is very exciting. we may have another exciting year ahead of us. what they'll be able to get done will be limited by senate democrats who have made it clear that their sole purpose is to obstruct any progress. cheryl: in the mid-terms, campaign season is kicking in now. lots to cover, never boring. thanks for getting up with us. lauren: sad news for you guys. game over for toys "r" us. the iconic retailer announcing their officially closing its doors. cheryl: all those jobs. tracey carrasco has that story. >> talking about 33,000 jobs. that's how many people will be out of work when stories are a shuts at hundred stores around the country. you remember toys "r" us filed for bankruptcy in september.

they had originally said they wanted to close 180 stores helping to restructure and rear up and ask them to get some of that day. sadly they were not able to do that, so we will see them closing down quite soon i'm sure. cheryl: sad end to an era. ford is issuing a big recall. one point for a million vehicles. looking specifically at the ford fusion and the lincoln mkz model year 2014 bitcoin 2018. this series i'll can detach the steering column and cause people to lose control of their car. this is a big one. they will be replacing those, so ford will be reaching out to owners of these vehicles to take care of that. lauren: that is a lot of cars. disney world has gotten even more expensive. is it possible? >> it has. this is one part people on

social media talked about. being able to park your car for free if you are saying that one of resorts in florida. now they will be charging for parking for hotel guests. the price range depending where you are staying, $13 to $24 if you're feeling fancy, ballet $33 plus tip of course. people are not happy about this. as they said, the one free thing you could get a disney world in one of their research they are. disney down 3.5% year over day. the quarterly earnings for the company's. >> this takes effect next week just in time for spring break. lauren: how convenient and ahead of the big "star wars" attractions opening up. cheryl: thank you, tracee. lauren: thank you. tensions are rising between london and moscow following the poisoning of a double agent. how they are now punishing the

kremlin. plus, worries about a trade where puts the fear up and the dow down nearly 250 points yesterday. we'll take a look at how the president's trade policies are already affect in corporate america. you are watching the "fbn:am." the

countries. lauren: they are surprisingly friendly. just saying. president trump taking what he calls his favorite type. the boeing plant in st. louis. his administration ordering 24. >> just a few years ago this plant was in very serious danger of shutting down and we've got it going again. i think probably going like it's never gone before. better than it's ever done before. i'm proud to say we kept it up and keeping thousands of americans employed lauren: boeing faces big trouble. let's take a look at shares of boeing down more than 2% yesterday in correction mode after china threatened to buy plans for the rival airbus if the u.s. does not back down from these trade tariffs. we bring him mark avalon to discuss this.

good to see you, mark. potential trade war is brewing. obviously implications. his bowling a perfect retaliation target for china considering one out of every four sales is to china? >> it absolutely is. that's why. that's lazy to move them move out and boeing stock down 10% in correction mode as he said and it's not just china. boeing has contracts with the canadian canadian government and they canadian government and they could easily move those to their manufacturer and you'll see airbus looked to take other opportunities. not only is boeing impacted by the rise in their parts, but they are trying for retaliatory action. trades are we talking about the seligman the selloff. if you look at when the stairs went into effect, this stock downturn has cost the dow and

would descend to the stock market down at least 220 points. this is a big investor story, too. >> in an air of momentum investing in etf in index funds when you have a large-cap name like this in the way that dallas waited, boeing will weigh heavily on the industry. the president is banking on a stock market, yet its tariff policy seems to be in conflict about. cheryl: what other sectors could also face retaliation? >> what concerns me are industries that have vulnerability on the cost side of the rising metal prices as well as the risk of being retaliated again. auto is a great example and they are not even strong to begin with. the ballot sheet or ford and gm and yet they are looking at material price increase, potential retaliation. that is the sort of industry i would not be very happy about right now.

>> can we expect the administration to grant exemptions to certain customers for companies? >> will have to see some sort of unraveled. we tried this saint we are going to treat canada and mexico better. i doesn't help folks on the other side. they will save me too. i hope what has happened is this is a strong initial stance. you heard larry kudlow say things like bike yesterday that maybe this is a negotiating posture and that is really the hope that we have as investors bet this doesn't spiral out of control and bring the overall market down because that's the risk that we don't know where this will go or how far. traded to kudlow to declare wants to bring down the deficit the united states has a trade with china even though he's more of a globalist. thank you very much. >> pleasure. cheryl: coming up, a heartwarming moment on the i.c.e. last day.
