Rory Carroll, publisher of Auto Week, and Todd Lassa, Detroit Bureau Chief for Automobile Magazine, discuss Mercedes's decision to pull out of the 2019 Detroit Auto Show. Lassa explains the future of the car show has been in doubt for a couple of years now, with more and more automakers moving toward tech events like CES. Carroll says to not read too much into this, as Mercedes isn't the first brand to drop out of the Detriot Auto Show. Many car companies are not attending because it can be very expensive.

Trump Administration Shutters Consumer Protection Agency
The Trump administration has ordered the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to stop nearly all its work, effectively shutting down the agency that was created to protect consumers after the 2008 financial crisis and subprime mortgage-lending scandal. Russell Vought is the newly installed director of the Office of Management and Budget. Vought directed the CFPB in a Saturday night email to stop work on proposed rules, to suspend the effective dates on any rules that were finalized but not yet effective, and to stop investigative work and not begin any new investigations. The agency has been a target of conservatives since President Barack Obama created it following the 2007-2008 financial crisis.
