andy: a quick last question.ald trump is reelected would you anticipate he would get rid of an independent federal reserve? >> absolutely not there has not been any indication of that there was one story and one newspaper that was on source that said that but the independence of the fed is helpful because it allows the defense of the dollar and that allows the u.s. to grow faster than everyone else. we are in a giant global competition so having the fed do a good job is really important, now recognize they were way behind the curve on raising interest rates they stayed at 0 two long, that is part of what were paying for now but were also pain for government spending and regulation. andy: thank you very much for joining us david not pass, good to see you. the green push is gaining steam but the oil industry is not done yet where to invest in the energy secto inside every splenda product is a mission. to help people live happier healthier and longer lives by making it easier to cut out sugar. from our factory to ou

but if you go through birmingham here, the labour party got about 80,000 versus 66000 four andy st.n coventry it was 32,000 versus 23,000, in dudley, 2a,000 for labour, 37,000 for the conservatives in solihull. the conservatives to better there, around 35,000 versus 11,000. walsall, 18,000 for the labour candidate, 24000 four andy st, and wolverhampton, 26,000, and 18,000 for the conservatives. so the last tally as we were awaiting sandwell was around 193,529 for the labour candidate, and 205,484 for the conservative. so what we are waiting on now is that final result. it has been a really hard fought campaign here, there has been a lot of issues at play, not least what has been happening in birmingham, which is obviously the major city in the west midlands. and that is that the west midlands. and that is that the council declared itself bankrupt not too long ago. council tax bills went through the roof for people here. it is a labour run authority. and many conservatives including andy street so that that was an example of bad management by the labour party. labour said it was an e

as you were saying, it is the conservative andy street who is the conservative andy street who is theas already been mayor for two terms and is hoping for a third one. interestingly throughout the campaign he has tried to distance himself from the national conservative party. no logos or branding for the party and much of his campaign literature. he has been all about his own personal brand. when he first was elected backin brand. when he first was elected back in 2017, he had come from a corporate background and was the former head ofjohn lewis. in many ways, a political outsider. and he win another term? it'll be extreme close. �* ., ., , , win another term? it'll be extreme close. ., ., , , ., close. and how important is this to rishi sunak? _ close. and how important is this to rishi sunak? as _ close. and how important is this to rishi sunak? as you _ close. and how important is this to rishi sunak? as you say, _ close. and how important is this to rishi sunak? as you say, andy - close. and how important is this to i rishi sunak? as you say, andy street has been trying to distanc

andy, can you interpret that for us? i thought they were arguing federal law, or did to get to that later? >> well, i can interpret it but i can't bring it into the line with the united states constitution. here we go. what is supposed to happen in a criminal trial is a prosecutor has to prove every element of an offense beyond a reasonable doubt. every crime which is a creature of some statute has different elements. one is a mental element and then the things you have to do to commit the crime. so like with bank robbery, you have to take money by force from a financial institution and do it intentionally. and those are the things the prosecutor has to prove beyond a reasonable doubt. what this judge is telling this jury in this kind of make it up as you go along new york state prosecution of federal law is that when they get to the end of the rainbow and we get to the elements of the offense, the jury doesn't have to be in agreement on what it is exactly that trump did or what he was trying to commit or conceal when he

i asked andy street how he felt about the loss yesterday.came to the party because during the campaign he had distanced himself from the national party. you can see the conservative name on most of the literature, even the colours were not conservative blue on his leaflets. in the end, he was conciliatory and conceded in this interview it was down to him. he had to take the hit for what went wrong. we did not persuade enough people to be confident- in what i had done and, _ of course, have confidence, as well, in what the plan was for the future. and i can't look for anything more complicated than that. _ ultimately, we didn't persuade enough people to go out - and put their cross in the right box on thursday, and i'm not - going to be slopey—shouldered about it in any way. _ it's my campaign. i did it my way and, ultimately, it didn't quite cut through. - no sloping shoulders from andy street. i think there was a point yesterday when it was neck and neck and we wondered who would be visiting once the result came in, rishi sunak, of course t

andy street term in office.his campaign he sort of distance himself from the national party and hasn't really mentioned the conservatives on much of his election literature and throughout the campaign. you'll be hoping his recognition and his personality will help them get another term and his record in the job previously but labour will hope that they can take that seat from him. they are hoping that they can also ride on what has been a national wave overnight in terms of the labour party doing well, as we saw, earlier in the east midlands for example. but really, as we have been saying, it is too close to call. to discuss this in a little bit more detail i'm joined byjane, the political editor of birmingham live. all elections are exciting but this is particularly exciting because really we still don't know which way it is going to go. there are lots of things at play. let's start by talking about andy street. he is a well known name here. in many ways, when he first became mayor, was it in 2017 question that

could andy street win? well, it didn't happen here.ebration for the labour party and it wasjust around 9:00 orjust before 9:00 when we saw lots of members of the labour party take to the floor in front of the stage here. you could see some hugging, some visibly moved. i even saw some tears as well because even though the party threw a lot at this west midlands mayoral race and sir keir starmer had said throughout the campaign they thought they could do it, nobody really knew who was going to win. it was that close. and suddenly we found out through the course of the evening that sir keir starmer had turned up in birmingham and he'd come in person to congratulate the new mayor, richard parker, and also set out his party's plan for the months ahead. let's have a listen to what sir keir starmer had to say. the tories felt that they were entitled to victory here, that they could use andy street as some sort of crutch for rishi sunak�*s weak leadership and that they didn't have to be in touch with the priorities of the people. we ran a comp

west midlands, andy street, they think it is on a knife edge. are doing badly in their traditional shia areas but they are doing well in marginal seats. the liberal democrats are saying they will have to wait until five o'clock tomorrow before they start to see themselves in the areas where they are in contest in places like tunbridge wells. but what they are picking up is that in parliamentary battleground seats that they need to win the general election, they can see labour voters voting tactically for the lib dems.— for the lib dems. that is the olitical for the lib dems. that is the political editor _ for the lib dems. that is the political editor of _ for the lib dems. that is the | political editor of newsnight, for the lib dems. that is the - political editor of newsnight, nick watt, with his ear to the ground in hartlepool. these are the live pictures from hartlepool as the votes come in to be counted. i will bring injoe from dell to pull back in. talk to me about what will become quite a big thing tomorrow and into saturday, the project

>> well, in a very simple word, after the result , andy street, after the result, andy street, you knowt it quite bluntly that he was devastated to have lost this election. he thought he'd been quite a successful mayor over the two terms that he held this position. i mean, he was the first mayor here in the combined authority for the west midlands. much of what it is today has been shaped by him. he thought, and stood in the election, that he could stand on his personal record, bringing in billions of pounds worth of funding to the west midlands, extending things like the metro tramway here, investment into housing and brownfield first. but unfortunately it just wasn't enough , you know, there was enough, you know, there was criticism of andy street in the campaign that it was all about brand andy. but he knew, of course, that the national picture with the conservatives could well be damaging to him . could well be damaging to him. and in that very much has seemed to be the case here, losing more than 10% of the share of the of the vote on on on the change from on the last election of 2

andy, jump on that.judge instructed cohen is an accomplice and there is a special concern of his testimony when there are benefits for testimony. there must be corroborating evidence. in other words, turley writes, you may not convict the defendant solely on the basis of the testimony of cohen. so if that's the case, you have to bring in pecker and hope hicks and who else? >> not only that, bill, there are essential parts of this case where cohen is the only witness. so, for example, remember there is testimony about a meeting that involved only trump, allen weisselberg and cohen where it is alleged by cohen that they discussed the details of how the reimbursement to cohen was going to be booked, how it would be tallied up and how they were going to book it. what cohen basically says is that trump was listening and understood that conversation. well, we don't have weisselberg here. trump didn't testify. the only witness to that is trump -- i think it is a very important link between the defendant and the

he has been banking on brand andy and in many ways when andy street first became the mayor of the westnds back in 2017 he was the anti—politician he had come from john lewis, a corporate background command had promised to breathe new life into this region. his main opposition, the labour party, says his record doesn't stand firm enough and they say that they would be the party to run the region. through the campaign, the polls have been extremely close between the two leading candidates, and i was speaking to sources from both the conservative side and the labour side here. the conservatives telling me that they genuinely think that this race is too close to call. a similar message from the labour party who, when i spoke to them, said they think it is neck and neck so far. that really does make this a very exciting and interesting race. a few other things to point out, for andy street he obviously wants to win a third term, he is banking on his personal brand here. and in some ways the mayoral contests are slightly different because they don't necessarily tell you what might happen nat

back with jonna and mark and andy. andy, you go first.do you recall? >> i don't recall that she was hawking a book or that the other witness, karen mcdougal, who is also important to the state's narrative. i don't think she is important to the charges. but to the story they're telling the jury. they were looking for avenues to get their story out, which would give them more negotiating leverage to try to demand payments for non-disclosure purposes because that might be more lucrative for them than book writing. i say as someone who has written a few books. >> dana: the other thing is, jonna, you can't do a -- you can't pitch a book and expect it to be hush money. you want to tell the story. a book is not an article in the "national enquirer." that will be read by more people probably but probably 1,000 words or 2,000 words. a book is like 60,000 words. i don't know how much she was going to tell and makes me wonder what they were thinking. i imagine they were trying to get paid in some way and that a book deal looked like a possibility th

andy mccarthy. talk about what i was mentioning to kaylee about trump trying to tie -- he talks about biden, the opponent he has in the presidential election. >> kaylee is right about colangelo. the only thing i would add to that, dana, this is one of these like the dog that doesn't bark thing but a very profound bit of evidence. the reason that congress proposed in the federal election commission and the justice department exclusive jurisdiction for enforcing the federal campaign finance laws is they wanted uniform application of those laws throughout the united states. the f.e.c. does it on the civil side. justice department on the criminal side. if another local prosecutor who has no federal jurisdiction tried to enforce these laws and made up his own corpus of federal campaign finance law as he went along as it was convenient to his case, the justice department and the f.e.c. in a normal administration would not sit on their hands. they would go crazy. they would be papering that prosecutor's of

cohen. >> you are seeking to replace andy kim as member of the u.s. house of representatives from the 3rd district of new jersey. i know you know him well and respect him. what positions have you taken or has he taken that you would seek to emulate as his successor and are there any votes that he has cast or positions he's taken where you don't share that view and would do something differently? >> thank you for that question. andy kim has big shoes to fill because he has been a fantastic representative for us here in the 3rd congressional district. we have a shared commitment trying to do everything we can to build bipartisan support, bring us closer together on issues that matter to all people. i admire him a great deal. i thought he did the right thing in voting to approve of the aid to taiwan, israel and ukraine and casting a no vote to ban tiktok. i don't know where he would stand on other issues. i am a big proponent of criminal justice reform and big supporter of free speech protections and i thank you. >> mr. conaway, you have 45 seconds for y

and i think what's very interesting about andy street is that he's nicknamed brand andy.t him and about what he has done for the west midlands, not so much about his role within the conservative party. in fact, if you look at his leafleting , if you look at his leafleting, you wouldn't even know that he was a conservative. there's no blue on it at all. it's all branded in a nice green colour. and he talks exclusively about what he has done for the area, his achievements in the past two terms and they have been great. he's been many people do believe he has been a very successful mayor he's brought a lot of business and enterprise into the area too, and quite crucially, he's not charged a mayoral tax. he's he has the power to charge a mayoral tax, but he hasn't done so in the last two terms. and he says he's not going to in the next term. two, he's very, very good on transport. a lot of people are saying lots of work on buses. he's got a very good record on housing, too. he's he claims he's very proud of the fact that he's only built houses on brownfield sites . now, one o

how are you feeling, andy? we will see. out of his hands.

it was all along we were talking about brand andy.ps should be approaching the general election? well, look, ithink the conservatives are in this position because of a long period of time where, frankly, the country is effectively switched off from listening to what the conservatives have to say. you have to go back to notjust partygate, but also some of the disastrous decisions like electing liz truss as the leader of the party, the budget and other decisions as well, to show that, frankly, the conservatives are not really in a position to be listened to any more. so, the fact that rishi sunak is in this position, and you've got suella braverman stating from the backbenches that the course should be changed. well, you know, she was part of the party who trumpeted the fact that she was supporting liz truss back in 2022. so when she talks about needing to own the decisions and fixing them, she could take a little bit of a look at her own stance and decide whether she wants to do that first before having a go at rishi sunak. to scotland

andy? >> so it was in london. yeah.that as well, and we decided after that to commit to becoming part of a sort of sustainable business in the future. so we decided we looked at all kinds of stuff, wacky ideas like electric sports, car brand and waste management, all kinds of stuff. and in the end, one of us, we can't remember who, said, have you seen what beyond meat and impossible foods are doing in the states? it's really interesting. and then we went over to the states on some like magical burger tasting tour and sounds fabulous. it was. yeah. although like anything, the sheen wears off like 15 burgers in. yes. and so we decided that we were going to commit to building a business in the uk because back then, in sort of 2017, 18, it was just really legacy old fashioned brands, in our opinion , who were on the our opinion, who were on the market with products that weren't necessarily at the cutting edge of what's possible. so voila. and are you a vegetarian yourself? no, i'm fully plant based. >> yes, yes, yes yes. so

andy mccarthy, joining me now. all right, look, we can't all be attorneys and thank goodness you are here and our legal experts today. i have to tell you, to be on that jury you almost have to be one. so what does that mean for the two attorneys on that jury? does somebody take a lead, do you think? >> it really depends what kind of lawyer they are, harris. what i've told people throughout is if this was a real estate case, i have always thought i was a pretty good litigator but i would have as at sea than anybody else. it depends on what expertise they have and importantly, what kind of personalities they are. if they are leader personalities and they have a legal background, they could be profoundly influential in the jury room. that's always very frustrating for the lawyers who litigate the case. if a lawyer in the courtroom makes an argument you disagree with you can try to push back against that. if it happens in the deliberation room there is nothing anyone can do. >> harris: let me ask you about the three ch
