i mean, andrew noted he wasn't crossed hard.times when they challenged his grand jury testimony, where he testified that that august 2015 meeting was in a different month, and he simply said, you know, i made an error. he pushed back pretty hard against that. i think he came off as very, you know, very truthful and credible. so i believe that, you know, as andrew said, that was pretty devastating testimony. cohen, again, there was testimony from others, like hope hicks and cohen himself, everything he did was to impress trump. he wanted credit when he would fix things for trump, and so i don't think it's believable, you know, knowing cohen and all of the testimony about him that michael cohen would have gone out and just done these things on his own without consulting trump. it sort of wouldn't have served his purposes. it didn't fit into his m.o. as the fixer and as someone who just always wanted praise and credit from donald trump. >> seven hours and 43 minutes of deliberations, we don't know what's going on inside that room o

andrew harding reporting there, and before him, colleagues chris mason and ros atkins.articularly good content is in some ways where it's easiest, which is some of the long form content, so some of the documentaries or long form audio where the journalists really have time to delve into the issues. i think the big challenge, then, is the shorter form content. when someone's only got two and a half minutes for a typical tv package, how do you make sure that you have enough depth that the audience are learning something new and interesting? that's where the real challenges emerge, i think. so that's one of the weaknesses that you identified, then, the ability to explain in depth? that's right. i think explanation is really key. and one of the things that came up in some of the coverage is that there was sometimes quite a superficial coverage of maybe, "a high—profile person has said something about migration," or, "there's been a new development in a long running story," like the government's plan to try and send asylum—seekers to rwanda. and sometimes in the audience res

close to a hard landing? andrew: that's fair. markets have moved away from the soft landing idea.clear from inflation data that we are not getting the soft landing and if activity holds up, we might have more of an issue with inflation. the reason i think the fed will see enough to cut is the hard landing end of the spectrum. jonathan: market pricing echoing the conversation we had with bernstein over the last week, do you see the pricing of one rate cut this year as a weighted average of one possibility and not the most likely outcome? andrew: that's right. chair powell, with his multi-verse of outcomes yesterday, they could not cut at all, they could be cutting, what is important is the asymmetry of the reaction function. we don't need both softer inflation and a weaker labor market, just one of the other. lisa: it's fascinating to me that you expect 100 points and no soft landing. you think the damage will be done enough that 100 points of cuts won't be able to give a surge of stimulus into the economy soon enough to stave off a real downturn? andrew: this happens every monetar

every time we reached some sort of obstacle or hurdle, andrew would clear-- clear that, remove it. one of the things that's--that's hardacross to folks is how much it was really possible that john edwards was going to be the next president of the united states. in my personal opinion, i didn't think he should run for president. you didn't think he should run for president because of the relationship? -yeah. -yeah. -well, there... [chuckles] -did you tell him that? -yeah. you know, i was the only one. everybody wanted him to run. what did he think was gonna happen? like, it's all based on a lie. -right. -you know, it's like, how--this is not gonna end well. a slow network is no network for business. that's why more choose comcast business. and now, we're introducing ultimate speed for business —our fastest plans yet. we're up to 12 times faster than verizon, at&t, and t-mobile. and existing customers could even get up to triple the speeds... at no additional cost. it's ultimate speed for ultimate business. don't miss out on our fastest speed plans yet! switch to comcast business and get started for $49.99 a month. plus,

this is probably the only trial that we'll see, andrew, before election day. >> it is hard for most peoplenot sure i understand. i think i do. obviously, you are allowed to do -- you are allowed -- we saw paula jones. people have been paid off since the beginning of time. it is really about not classifying it as a political expense rather than a legal expense. everybody knows that. everybody knows that the upgrade to a felony is nebulous at best. you are following this. you say in this city with that jury. i think this case would have been brought years ansd years ad years ago if it was a legitimate case. >> no question about it, joe. that's why this is, by far, the least serious of the cases trump is facing. >> i don't know if it is -- we need a new word for it. >> oh, look -- >> what's the crime, andrew? tell me the crime. you describe the crime to me. tell me the felony. >> i think most of america is not actually following this trial. >> you don't care. >> i'm not saying that. i'm saying most americans do not follow this case. it is so convoluted and so hard to signifigure out where thi

it is not so hard, john carney this memo to which edward lawrence referred to, which came from the press office andrew bates, they blame business for inflation, business is to blame for evil, greedy, raising prices, not paying their fair share of taxes and being bad citizens. >> you know they had to write it in a memo because they can't say it with a straight -- face, this is just not true. if there was a green surge, we should vote him out of office. if -- >> hang on. listen, fighting -- standing up to -- the biden approach stand up to corporate price gouging at core of the inflation fight. mayor corporation seeing record profits that is a dirty word, over charge the american people, keep prices elevated and charging abuses and junk fees like airline baggage. is that it? it has nothing to do with spending money or with any of that pump priming by the fed. all about evil, greedy corporations? not paying their fair share. >> i think they are getting it wrong when they think that people are against profits, american people are not, sa say oh, no everyone is making profits. that is a good thing, when the

the documents today that andrew just referred to, exhibits 35 and 36 in conjunction with that testimony, that trump approved all expenses over $10,000, does make it really hard. there are records here in trump is indicted for 34 counts, 11 checks to michael cullen. 11 invoices from:, 12 entries in the general ledger and i think andrew is exactly right. what possible reason would allen weisselberg have to double the amount of money? i mean, this defense by donald trump makes just about as much sense as his covid policy. it just doesn't fly, and so i think if you are sitting there on the jury and listening to this testimony, yes, some of it is really dry and arcane but at the end of the day, this is the kind of testimony that is going to sink donald trump. >> adam, one thing both of these pieces of paper do is corroborate michael cohen's story of how he made the payment because here is one piece of paper that actually his bank statement shows to make the payment, then you have weiselberg's notes from how to pay him back for this payment, including to take care of his tax liability that would come with it but michael cohen could not possibly have known that jef

andrew weissmann talking about how he thinks these are devastating. you would be hardressed to say that weisselberg would do something outside of donald trump's knowledge. weisselberg is serving a second sentence. >> you could also say he's a criminal. >> certainly you could say he's a criminal, but he's a criminal on behalf of donald trump. these handwritten notes saying here's what we're going to pay michael cohen back. this is a polling company, as you said, right, duncan, and then to say that we're also going to pay him for the taxes he took out. it's a very specific number obviously. i just don't see where the daylight is from these documents. if there's a smoking gun in this case, is this it? >> this document proves the falsity of the business records on the face of it. the number itself, the grossed up figure shows falsity. it's not a reimbursement. we know that. it's easy. that part of the case is a slam dunk case. remember, the d.a.'s office didn't bring that case because the statute of limitations had run on it. they brought it as a felony because it was tone

hard. john carney, this memo edward lawrence referred to, which came from the press office, andrew bates, theylame business for inflation. business is to blame for evil greedy, raising prices, not paying their fair share of taxes, generally being bad citizens. >> you know they had to write that in a memo because they can't say it with a straight face. it is just not true. this idea there was green surge that happened when biden got elected. if that is true, we should vote him out of office. he made everybody greedier. that is not true. larry: this is such, i don't mean to interrupt, here, standing up, this is the biden approach. stand up to corporate price gouging, which is at the core of the inflation fight. major corporations are seeing record profits, that's a dirty word, two curse words, overchanged the american people, keep prices elevated and, and, charging abuses and junk fees like airline baggage and stuff like that. is that really it? is nothing to do with what liz says, nothing to do with spending money, nothing to do with any of that pump priming by the fed? all about evil greedy co

andrew weisman, listen to this. >> with respect to judge merchan, i feel like a man crush on him, he is such a great judge, hard to see jurors wouldn't have the same impression. if you looked for judicial temperasm, that is what you get. >> ainsley: he was lead prosecutor in the mueller case, turned out trump did not collude with russia. >> steve: for whatever reason he feels that way, must have heard everything from the judge he was hoping would happen. and judge merchan did everything he wanted and now next thing you know, he's a big fan. >> brian: another lawyer, retired wealth manager, one in commerce, one does product development and one is in -- >> lawrence: they are not sequestered, they should not have conversations or be watching tv. it could be happening. >> steve: we had a week off from the trial. >> lawrence: another one. let's have a week off after the trial. >> steve: how many of their family members know they are on the jury and -- >> lawrence: talked about it over the barbecue. >> steve: what are you going to do? i heard this, what is going on. >> ainsley: it usually comes out later. >> steve: agai

hard to get out. >> you're excused. also joining us former top official at the department of justice, andrew weissmann. speaking of sleeping in basement, no one can claim more times these days than andrew weissmann. >> if you've seen his apartment, it's no big -- >> i meant here. i want to put the elephant in the middle of the table. stormy daniels' testimony is provoking, and i think tapping into all sorts of gender disparities how she was received, socioeconomic disparities. i think there's a thing -- i said this yesterday, i felt bad after reading her testimony about her life story for sort of shorthanding her, porn star stormy daniels. she is a human being. she had this interaction with trump. everything about it is the kind of stuff that, i mean, you and i talked days ago about being uncomfortable -- pre-stormy daniels. this is the stuff and i keep thinking about everything trump did from the amount of money he paid to the sound of trump on tape saying to go and, you know, cash, cash, cash, no, no, no. to pecker's agreement and line in the sand, i won't be a bank. i keep thinking of everything she

i have had enough conversations now with andrew weissmann and all of our fantastic legal analysts to know that they will say that it's hardpredict how a jury -- which way a jury is going to go. they will point out one juror and there are people saying, i think that person is x or y. often, they are proven wrong by what happens in deliberations. it's just -- it's hard to tell. as somebody who is steeped in this case personally, i have done a lot of reading about it, i have done a lot of studying about it, i cover it with you ladies every day. i was there covering the campaign during the period that is at the core of this case. i know the details of what was happening at the time. a lot of these arguments can be hard for me to follow. i'm not clear what the jury is getting out of the minutia of what todd blanche is trying to argue other than just really emphasizing that michael cohen is a man who was out for himself, michael cohen is a man who -- todd blanche is arguing who lies, and when he is caught doing something wrong, tries to shift the blame. this time, he is shifting the blame to donald trump, because donald trump d

hard for some to watch. this was at the vta children's discovery museum station. investigators say andrew perez was wearing an armored vest when he attacked a man on the station platform. you can see perez going up to the man with a bike and immediately started to punch and kick him. the assault goes on for some time. perez, then eventually runs off and barricades himself inside a home before being arrested. the victim identified as a 45 year-old man was taken to the hospital to be treated for injuries, including some deep cuts. a jewelry store in the east bay is hit by robbers. newer police say at least a dozen people forced their way into been jewelers on new park mall road wednesday afternoon. the group shattered glass display cases and took off in multiple getaway cars. police are working to figure out the exact value of the jewelry stolen. they're asking anyone with information to please give them a call. still ahead, a big tesla malfunction out affected over 100,000 cars. >> the safety warning that you need to know. and the free online filing system from the irs is here to stay for

hard to believe. prosecutors still cannot prove the intent that donald trump had to commit this alleged crime. >> harris: andrew, i also get something else from that recording. can we hit it one more time? it is relatively short the bit we've gotten so far. let's listen. >> correct. so i'm all over that. and i spoke to allen about it when it comes time for the financing, which will be >> what financing? >> we'll have to pay. >> pay cash? >> no, no, no. >> harris: so andrew, this is someone recording his client but also advising his client and getting paid to advise his client. when his client understand what are you talking about? no, no, no, we'll do it my way. he has an idea how they will take care of whatever this issue is and it will involve some money and i got this, i got this. in other words, he is his guy. remember, he wanted to report directly to donald trump. somebody trump obviously trusted. he told me that himself personally. i interviewed him at the white house the day of michael cohen's sentencing when he was president. so i know for a fact he trusted him. >> absolutely. there is a sub issue in th

should be something else, and they fought very hard today to try and preserve that language supported by the case law. there are others, our friend andrew is not of that much import because you could sort of get around it through an instruction on accessorial liability. meaning if you act in concert with someone you are still responsible for their actions if you are part the same scheme . but with a prosecutors prefer this language in there? absolutely. >> adam, what we be looking for in the judge's instructions? >> that's the first thing i'm looking for. after that accessorial liability, that was something that they started here. it was important enough to the prosecution to ask the jurors if they can follow the concept of accessorial liability. so, to your point, lawrence, i do think that one of the first cases i ever covered was in federal court, one of the u.s. embassy bombings plotters. and be point is that jurors pay attention to the instructions. and the instructions in that case were conscience avoidance, that the defendant didn't know. and the jury sent a note saying , and the judge said i have been thinking of this before tria
