joining us is jesse westbrook. can the fed make this happen without the fdic? maybe even without congress? can certainly happen without congress, and probably without the fdic. at the banking regulators are kind of a pack and they don't typically like to do things that not all of them agree on, so they have been working for the several weeks to persuade the fdic to go along with this. appointee who runs the fdic is gone, persuasion might get easier. a trump appointee is expected to take over within the months ahead. how have u.s. regulators been coordinating with their overseas counterparts? vonnie: a lot of this comes from this sort of group in bankerland that says what rules should be, and it is up to individual jurisdictions like the fed and u.k. to implement those suggestions. while, it popped that the leverage ratio went too far. it is a basic calculation you do to determine what the risk risk rating is for the capital you hold. , you have tosets hold less capital to cushion against losses. things like cash on deposits, those have a capital rating, and ban

jesse westbrook joins us for the story. we seeime in a decade it, even the bankers are getting more generous even though they are not giving more to democrats. what are they hoping by setting themselves up in terms of onside before they turn the house blue? jesse: i think you have to differentiate a couple of things. the shift in more money from the industry is probably more people who on wall street don't like trump. it could be as much as climate change as immigration as it is about bank regulation. and theanies themselves banking industry, it is about mitigating the headline risk they would get from a democratic-controlled house of representatives. to changeot going much. trump still has all of his regulators in their. they will continue the steady drift of rolling back rules. you don't want democrats spouting off constantly about we need to break up the big banks, we need to take away the punch bowl from wall street's risk-taking. so you want some friends if you're going to be dealing with a blue wave. joe: so the basic

welcome back from cali -- washington r kelly, jesse westbrook. what do we expect come out of this? jesse: when the rule was implemented, there was a high burden on banks to prove that trades were not violating the volcker rule. the main thing we will see under trump and the trump appointed regulators is shifting that so that there is more of a burden on regulators to prove that traders are not in violation of the rules. if you look at it sort of simply, the burden is now on banks and it will shift more to regulators under some of these tangents. the fed being one of the first agencies to vote on this, how drunk out of the process be? jesse: there's many agencies involved in the volcker rule. it's an alphabet soup of d.c. agencies, the securities and exchange commission, the office of the comptroller of currency, they all have to submit proposals for public comment and this is a particularly controversial rule that will likely give tanks and investor advocates, anti-wall street people like elizabeth warren months to weigh in on this. we might not see a final rule until the end of th
