>> good morning to you. first republic bank has been struggling to stay afloat for weeks, and now a deal to take over the embattled regional bank could come as soon as tonight. a source familiar with the matter tells me that federal regulators are racing this weekend to seize and sell first republic. one option is for the fdic to take over the bank and then quickly sell it to another bigger bank. at the end of last year, san francisco-based first republic was the 14th biggest commercial bank in the country. how did we get here? the company's stock tumbled 75% last week after it revealed that nervous customers withdrew more than $100 billion in deposits during last month's banking crisis. in march, 11 major banks, including jpmorgan, tried to rescue first republic with $30 billion in cash. that was not enough to reassure investors that the company's finances are sound. so if first republic is taken over, it would be the third u.s. bank failure since march 10th

7:33 am
>> i want to share that story with you in an effort to raise awareness as to what signs to look for. >> falsely claiming strangers tried to kidnap her two children outside the petaluma, california's michael's store. the videos were posted a week after she reported the supposed kidnapping attempt to police. in the video, sorenson described details about the incident that hadn't been disclosed to police. the accused couple as i said and eddie martinez say they recognized themselves in this photo and came forward to deny sorenson's claims. >> she wanted a stronger following. she was looking for, you know, content for her fame and her income. and at our expense. >> sorenson's attorney maintains his client did not lie to police. >> she misperceived and misunderstood a series of random events, which were occurring around her, and made an honest report to the police on december 7th. >> her attorney adding that it was when sorenson reviewed the evidence she realized she was wrong. >> i don't think she had any understanding of how this would

7:35 am
this only applies to mortgages backed by fannie mae and freddie mac, which means they will impact about half of all mortgage borrowers. it's part of the federal government's efforts to make home ownership more affordable for those limited by wealth or income. an example, a buyer with a good credit score, 750, who puts 25% down on a $400,000 home would pay $1125 in fees compared to $750 under the previous rules. in that same example, a buyer with a credit score of 650 will now pay $4500 in mortgage fees, or nearly half what they would have owed before the rule change. critics say the new rules penalize people with good credit, using them to subsidize loans of riskier borrowers. even with the changes, overall mortgage fees do continue to favor borrowers with good credit. janai? >> an interesting idea. where do things stand with gas prices? we know the summer is coming. with with opec's decision to cut production. >> gas prices have been trending lower the past few weeks.
