>> it's been a busy day for sure, neil. and bob costello is talking about his conversations with michael cohen. he described cohen has manic during those conversations, pacing back and forth. and he just said cohen told him during that time that trump knew nothing about the stormy daniels deal. judge marchand is allowing trump's lawyer to ask costello around a pressure campaign theory. marchand said costello cannot testify about cohen's state of mind during those 2018 meetings. during cohen's cross-examination today, he admitted he knew at the time his conversations with costello were protected under his attorney/client privilege. and cohen earlier said that he lied to costello because he thought that costello might funnel information to trump. separately cohen testified he stole money from the trump administration, received hundreds of thousands of dollars from other clients for very limited legal work. he claims he did limited work for trump in 2017. trump says those payments are legitimate. cohen says they are reimbursement paym

they have to get that extra piece and that's what they are asking about, not bob costello's testimony. neil: is still early. they are starting to move beginning. they are going back to the beginning, first witness and the second witness. the read anything into that, that they are going methodically from the very beginning or as a just happenstance? >> it could be. there. 20 could imply very long. >> i could be wrong. we are talking a week and 1/2 from now. neil: what causes a hung jury? >> only one. a good question could be, you could speculate and say the judge gave the read back about the corroboration the prosecution said command maybe 10 jurors are saying number 2, this is actually correct, follow procedure or 10 jurors saying i don't believe that, we have packer's testimony. neil: were the one juror, the henry fonda character from 12 angry men trying to get the other 11 to go along. that's the extent of my legal knowledge but what do you see happening? >> the one piece that informs me is not only are they asking for evidence from the prosecution, the strongest witness but also asking f

neil: back with bob and gary, the inflation report, steady as she goes, he was quite right when saying but what you make of it? >> the last cpi report, they are trying to tell us health insurance prices are down 4% over the last 5 years so i am not so sure, far be it from me to say they are fudging but something is up and i can tell you i do a lot of grocery shopping, everything is still up, home insurance is skyrocketing, auto insurance is skyrocketing. i think prices are still up there and when you see the poll numbers on the economy for the president i think that's exactly what people are looking at, they are writing checks that are much higher than they were three years ago and there hasn't been relief, maybe the rate of inflation is down but is still up from where it was and i don't think that will change anytime soon. neil: do a lot of the grocery shopping and your family. internationally recognized market, the excuse i give my wife, i would love to shop but it never happens. you do the shopping so you know. >> i go through the aisles, speak for people running the supermarkets an

. >> neil: i've been thinking of that. thank you very much. bob good talking to you. >> thanks, neil appeared to be one in, i have a hat trick to tell you about. that's a sports analogy. the corner of wall and brought. the s&p 500 and the nasdaq. continuing as the dial gets within 72 points now of 40,000, the administration, of course, has a devil of a time bragging about the market performance under its watch. very little to do with joe biden come over for that matter, donald trump, and everything to do with optimism here, that rate cuts might be back in the picture. stable inflation report, april consumer inflation report, that would be us, folks, rose less than expected in the latest month, year over year rising less than expected. once again fueled the possibility that things are tame enough that the federal reserve certainly doesn't have to entertain any more rate hikes and might in fact entertain some great cooks. one big brokerage firm in new york is still expected in three rate cuts this year, i think that's a little bit generous but for t

bob costello would not be an expert witness, you would be a fact witness with respect to cohen. >> neilt me ask you a bit about costello. he was michael cohen's first lawyer. essentially he spoke his mind and he is different with the way he was treated, this is him earlier. >> basically they only put in a small cherry pick group of females. are presented maybe 2 to 300 e-mails and text messages. i have been with me in chronological order. they put 2 or 3 into evidence p. i asked if they would put the rest into evidence and they said no. >> neil: if you are the prosecution fact you want to hear from that guy? if you are the defence do you want to hear from that guy? >> based on what he said yesterday and while bob solow said today that what his testimony would be would not be beneficial to the prosecution. i believe he said that the prosecution did not include all of the e-mails because they would have hurt the prosecution's case. and he is being very clear in saying i asked them to put these e-mails and cow they tried to say something about hearsay, there's a exception to the hearsay ru

neil: you stay cool under fire with sirens. eric sean at new york state supreme court. bobtorial board number, bush 43 speechwriter. administration likes to say left donald trump sit in the courthouse and deal with those illegal problems. we are looking at improving the economy and those problems are no longer our rounds. you might've heard the exchange of jared bernstein, they are saying the trend is there friend but depending who you talk to the american public simply isn't buying it. >> getting closer to the election and polls have shown over the last year plus that voters are sour on the economy. despite the administration's spin, it's not landing. it's a good strategy to say things are getting better but at the same time, biden has to lean into this is a painful time and i understand your pain and i don't hear that rhetoric from the president. neil: i don't either, the president is right to say inflation was at 9% under his stewardship in 2,020 do. having said that, keeps going back and insisting he inherited that inflation rates so my argument with jared bernstein is

white-collar cases that you're aware of, neil, that have been reversed not based on insufficient evidence but on an improper jury charge. the governor from virginia former governor bobd macdonald, supreme court reversed it on those grounds you my dear remember the arthur anderson case? and drew weissman's baby where he convinced the trial judge to give a jury instruction that was improper in the supreme court ruled 9-0, reversed the conviction? that wasn't based on insufficiency of the evidence, it was based on improper jury charge having to do with intent. so this is really a big deal and you are correct. it's very easy to have this reversed if the judge gets it wrong. >> neil: so the judge can't go too far but if i'm reading so correctly, tom covers potential hear that going too four on his part invariably rests hurting the prose prosecution, right? he can play this in the hands of the higher cortical reversed everything? >> that is true. and look, sometimes are cases where the prosecution's biggest victories for the trial judge to refuse to give an instruction the profligate -- prosecutors want to give because he said look if i give the instruction you're telling

you talk about drawing inferences, neil, i wonder, you know, how you think the closing arguments are going to go based on what we saw on the last day of testimony bobostello having quite a time on the stand with judge merchan and others. where do you think they go from here, and what are your expectations? >> so the trump defense is really simple. this is not a case about donald trump. this a case about michael cohen and his credibility. this is guy they're going to say has lied, lied repeatedly, lied to the point he had to go to jail, and you can't trust him. and the prosecution is going to say, hey, there's a lot of reasons to trust him now, but, "b," you don't have to trust him because there's all sorts of corroborating documentary evidence. and someone like trump who there's testimony that says he meticulously counted every cent going out of his accounts, the idea he would have tolerated his attorney spending hundreds of thousands of dollars without his permission is just so against the trump modus operandi as to make it unbelievable. so i think that's going to be the debate. remember in our system the jury all 12 of them have to find trump gui
