We're gonna ask Sarah Isker, who covers 6 00:00:21,320 --> 00:00:25,239 Speaker 2: the courts for ABC, what is going on Voting for 7 00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:28,479 Speaker 2: the Baseball Hall of Fame by the Contemporary Baseball Era 8 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:33,320 Speaker 2: Committee is this weekend. We're gonna ask ABC News Washington 9 00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:37,440 Speaker 2: bureau chief and a huge Yankees fan, if this is 10 00:00:37,560 --> 00:00:42,400 Speaker 2: finally Mattingly's year. Ready to save money on tech for Christmas. 11 00:00:42,720 --> 00:00:45,400 Speaker 2: Rich de Muro from rich on Tech has a cheat 12 00:00:45,440 --> 00:00:49,400 Speaker 2: sheet and the car doctor Ronanian says cars from the 13 00:00:49,479 --> 00:00:53,600 Speaker 2: eighties are now hot again. But let's start with ABC 14 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:57,880 Speaker 2: News contributor Sarah Isker in Washington. Good morning, Sarah, how 15 00:00:57,920 --> 00:00:58,160 Speaker 2: are you? 16 00:00:58,680 --> 00:00:59,240 Speaker 3: Good morning? 17 00:00:59,480 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: Hey? 18 00:00:59,680 --> 00:01:03,280 Speaker 2: Listen. I want to start with something that was said 19 00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,720 Speaker 2: at the cabinet meeting yesterday, the cabinet meetings that are 20 00:01:06,800 --> 00:01:10,280 Speaker 2: now open to the press. It came from Pam Bondy 21 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,360 Speaker 2: and I was kind of shocked at it, and I 22 00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:14,920 Speaker 2: want to see I want to get your reaction We. 23 00:01:14,840 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 4: Have been sued five hundred and seventy five times, five 24 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:23,319 Speaker 4: hundred and seventy five times more than every administration going 25 00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:27,639 Speaker 4: back to Reagan combined. Most recently, yesterday, I was sued 26 00:01:27,640 --> 00:01:30,760 Speaker 4: by an immigration judge who we fired. One of the 27 00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:33,480 Speaker 4: reasons she said she was a woman. Last I checked, 28 00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:34,479 Speaker 4: I was a woman as well. 29 00:01:36,440 --> 00:01:40,800 Speaker 2: Five hundred and seventy five lawsuits against the Trump administration. 30 00:01:41,040 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 2: What do we read into that? Is this now a 31 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:48,520 Speaker 2: new political weapon or has the administration just been that egregious? 32 00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,120 Speaker 3: Why can't it be both? So we have started to 33 00:01:52,360 --> 00:01:55,640 Speaker 3: govern by lawsuit, there's no question about that. You know, 34 00:01:55,680 --> 00:01:59,200 Speaker 3: as Congress has done less and less, presidents have started 35 00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:03,400 Speaker 3: running the country by executive order. Well, guess what that's 36 00:02:03,440 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 3: really right? For lawsuits among other things. And so you've seen, 37 00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,920 Speaker 3: you know, red state governors sue when it's a Democrat 38 00:02:10,960 --> 00:02:13,400 Speaker 3: in the White House. Blue state governors sue when it's 39 00:02:13,400 --> 00:02:16,560 Speaker 3: a Republican in the white House. There's been entire cottage 40 00:02:16,600 --> 00:02:20,000 Speaker 3: industries pop up. We now have state solicitor generals whose 41 00:02:20,040 --> 00:02:23,679 Speaker 3: main job, it seems like, is to sue administrations from 42 00:02:23,680 --> 00:02:28,520 Speaker 3: the opposing party. It gets you headlined, it's good for fundraising. 43 00:02:29,200 --> 00:02:31,800 Speaker 3: The president wins because now he has an enemy that 44 00:02:31,880 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 3: he gets to you know, battle with, and the opposing 45 00:02:35,280 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 3: side looks like they're you know, quote doing something rather 46 00:02:39,280 --> 00:02:42,480 Speaker 3: than what we used to do, which is actually compromised 47 00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:46,600 Speaker 3: log role work through Congress, have stable pieces of legislation 48 00:02:46,639 --> 00:02:49,200 Speaker 3: that would be the product of you know, that messy 49 00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:51,560 Speaker 3: process that was taking place in Congress. 50 00:02:51,919 --> 00:02:54,560 Speaker 2: Yeah, and you kept saying that one side would do 51 00:02:54,680 --> 00:02:57,120 Speaker 2: the other. It's pretty common. They have done this, they've 52 00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:00,360 Speaker 2: been but you just heard Pambondi. It's fun one hundred 53 00:03:00,360 --> 00:03:02,919 Speaker 2: and seventy five lawsuits now and that's more than the 54 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:07,799 Speaker 2: last three administrations combined. So what you were talking about 55 00:03:07,880 --> 00:03:11,359 Speaker 2: is going into hyperdrive under Donald Trump. And that's why 56 00:03:11,639 --> 00:03:15,480 Speaker 2: the question is that now a new strategy to have 57 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 2: the Democrats found a new strategy or they just using 58 00:03:18,480 --> 00:03:22,679 Speaker 2: an old one and making it hyper So under. 59 00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:24,639 Speaker 3: Each president it's basically increased. 60 00:03:24,280 --> 00:03:24,720 Speaker 1: Quite a bit. 61 00:03:24,880 --> 00:03:27,400 Speaker 3: So under Barack Obama, if you remember, he said, you know, 62 00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:29,280 Speaker 3: I have a pen and a phone. I'll rally the 63 00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,959 Speaker 3: American people as Congress doesn't do what I want them 64 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:34,400 Speaker 3: to do. That was sort of the starting gun for 65 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:37,680 Speaker 3: a lot of this. And so you had plenty of 66 00:03:37,760 --> 00:03:41,840 Speaker 3: lawsuits against the Obama administration. In the first Trump administration, 67 00:03:41,880 --> 00:03:44,960 Speaker 3: it increased even more in the Biden administration. The student 68 00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:49,000 Speaker 3: loan debt, forgiveness, eviction, moratorium, vaccine mandate, all of those 69 00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:52,920 Speaker 3: were major lawsuits, but there were plenty, plenty more than 70 00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:56,400 Speaker 3: that that the Biden administration, for instance. Once here we 71 00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,120 Speaker 3: have the Trump administration and the dial gets turned up 72 00:03:59,160 --> 00:04:03,680 Speaker 3: once again. So yeah, this continues to increase again, I 73 00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 3: think because we don't have the normal political valve of 74 00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,520 Speaker 3: Congress where people were supposed to go, and you see 75 00:04:11,520 --> 00:04:13,720 Speaker 3: what's happening is that the courts are getting pulled into 76 00:04:13,720 --> 00:04:16,160 Speaker 3: these political fights and so then they get viewed as 77 00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:19,320 Speaker 3: more partisan. And it's not a sustainable model. 78 00:04:20,120 --> 00:04:24,359 Speaker 2: You know, I understand that, but that portends bad things 79 00:04:24,360 --> 00:04:26,479 Speaker 2: for the future. You're saying that this isn't going to 80 00:04:26,480 --> 00:04:31,160 Speaker 2: stop anytime soon unless they fix the system. This will continue. 81 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:34,800 Speaker 2: By the way, it is exactly why those confirmation hearings, 82 00:04:34,839 --> 00:04:37,880 Speaker 2: if people are wondering why they're so important, because it's 83 00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:42,760 Speaker 2: usually just some federal court judge, but they become hyper 84 00:04:42,880 --> 00:04:44,960 Speaker 2: important now because. 85 00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,560 Speaker 3: Of this, right, that's exactly right. Our confirmation hearings get 86 00:04:47,560 --> 00:04:49,440 Speaker 3: more contentious. By the way, one of the only things 87 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,240 Speaker 3: that Congress still does other than put out Instagram reels, 88 00:04:52,240 --> 00:04:57,479 Speaker 3: as best I can tell. And again, it's putting stress 89 00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 3: on our institutions that they cannot bear because judge are 90 00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:02,839 Speaker 3: not politically accountable. They're not supposed to be the one 91 00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:06,919 Speaker 3: refereeing our most bitter political disputes. That's supposed to happen 92 00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:10,640 Speaker 3: in Congress. Now, what's interesting about this Supreme Court term 93 00:05:10,720 --> 00:05:13,680 Speaker 3: is that they have two cases that hopefully are going 94 00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:18,080 Speaker 3: to police some of those separation of powers boundaries force 95 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,520 Speaker 3: Congress to do its job by saying that presidents can't 96 00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:25,159 Speaker 3: rule by executive order, for example the Tariff's case, and 97 00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:28,800 Speaker 3: that presidents actually have to be politically accountable for their 98 00:05:28,839 --> 00:05:32,640 Speaker 3: own branches. And so these so called independent agencies that 99 00:05:32,680 --> 00:05:37,960 Speaker 3: Congress created where they shield, you know, executive branch employees 100 00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:41,480 Speaker 3: from presidential direction, that that can't happen either. And so 101 00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:44,280 Speaker 3: you make the president that of the executive branch, make 102 00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:47,600 Speaker 3: him a better president and a worse legislator, if you will. 103 00:05:47,960 --> 00:05:51,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, the Trump is case. You're talking about Trump versus Slaughter, 104 00:05:51,640 --> 00:05:54,320 Speaker 2: that's the case you're talking about. Yes, yes, So we're 105 00:05:54,360 --> 00:05:57,360 Speaker 2: going to get oral arguments on that on Monday, and 106 00:05:57,480 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 2: everybody's going to be listening because we'll figure out exactly 107 00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:03,039 Speaker 2: where the Court is leaning on this. Do you have 108 00:06:03,200 --> 00:06:05,240 Speaker 2: any guesses or assumptions. 109 00:06:05,440 --> 00:06:07,760 Speaker 3: Oh, I think at this point any court watcher will 110 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:10,680 Speaker 3: tell you that it's very likely that the Court will 111 00:06:10,720 --> 00:06:14,680 Speaker 3: hold some version that these independent agencies have to be 112 00:06:14,760 --> 00:06:18,159 Speaker 3: politically accountable to the president. I think there's a you know, 113 00:06:18,240 --> 00:06:21,240 Speaker 3: a wider win and a narrower win for the administration. 114 00:06:21,600 --> 00:06:24,479 Speaker 3: But I don't think there's much question that these you know, 115 00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:28,080 Speaker 3: alphabet agencies aren't going to exist in their current form, 116 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:30,320 Speaker 3: where you know, we say that these are the most 117 00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:33,480 Speaker 3: important elections of our lifetime whenever there's a presidential election, 118 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:37,200 Speaker 3: but the president doesn't actually have control over wide swaths 119 00:06:37,279 --> 00:06:40,360 Speaker 3: of the American economy. And if you don't like what 120 00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:43,720 Speaker 3: the National Labor Relations Board did or what the Securities 121 00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:46,719 Speaker 3: in Exchange Commission did, there's nothing for you to do 122 00:06:46,800 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 3: about that. Voting for a different president doesn't help, voting 123 00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:52,679 Speaker 3: out your member of Congress doesn't help. There's no political 124 00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:55,320 Speaker 3: accountability right now, and I think what you'll see a 125 00:06:55,400 --> 00:06:58,359 Speaker 3: majority of the Court say is that that doesn't work 126 00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,080 Speaker 3: under our constitution, there is no such thing as an 127 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,359 Speaker 3: independent agency. 128 00:07:02,520 --> 00:07:05,120 Speaker 2: Then what do they do to they They don't rule 129 00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:07,359 Speaker 2: on a remedy, right will did they just say you 130 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:08,120 Speaker 2: have to fix this? 131 00:07:08,760 --> 00:07:11,040 Speaker 3: What they'll say is the president is allowed to remove 132 00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:14,800 Speaker 3: any member of the executive branch at his discretion. If 133 00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,560 Speaker 3: they won't follow his policy direction, he can fire them, 134 00:07:17,920 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 3: and that will basically end these independent agencies because they 135 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:24,520 Speaker 3: will be politically accountable to the president. Now, the problem 136 00:07:24,560 --> 00:07:28,560 Speaker 3: has been at Congress because they were shielded from removal 137 00:07:28,600 --> 00:07:32,800 Speaker 3: from presidents gave these agencies huge amounts of very vague 138 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:33,960 Speaker 3: broad power. 139 00:07:34,560 --> 00:07:38,520 Speaker 2: Yeah, that's fascinating. Yeah, it's an extremely important case, but 140 00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:41,880 Speaker 2: it doesn't sound like that fixes the problem either. Sarah Isker, 141 00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:45,560 Speaker 2: ABC News contributor in Washington, d C. Do you have 142 00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:48,640 Speaker 2: a car from the eighties.

But I am going to be 331 00:16:49,440 --> 00:16:51,440 Speaker 6: watching this with more than a little bit at stake 332 00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,160 Speaker 6: in the outcome, and I think, I really think it's 333 00:16:54,160 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 6: there's a very strong chance for Murphy and mattingly for 334 00:16:57,120 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 6: Dale and Donnie, which would be just an incredible omah 335 00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,880 Speaker 6: to the nineteen eighties and to the kind of like 336 00:17:03,120 --> 00:17:05,520 Speaker 6: sliver of the people that loved that light, both the 337 00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:07,359 Speaker 6: Braves and the Yankees in the nineteen eighties. 338 00:17:07,760 --> 00:17:09,959 Speaker 2: Yeah, I will tell you this. The Dale Murphy things 339 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,000 Speaker 2: never I've never understood it because I guess they say 340 00:17:13,040 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 2: that he just had a couple of great years and 341 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,680 Speaker 2: then he didn't. His career didn't fill out. The rest 342 00:17:17,680 --> 00:17:19,439 Speaker 2: of his career wasn't that bad. It's just that he 343 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:22,120 Speaker 2: was exceptional for a couple of years and won back 344 00:17:22,160 --> 00:17:24,400 Speaker 2: to back MVPs. 345 00:17:23,800 --> 00:17:26,359 Speaker 6: A thousand percent. Look in nineteen eighty to nineteen ninety 346 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,800 Speaker 6: that eleven year period, nobody hit more home runs in 347 00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,439 Speaker 6: Major League Baseball. Only adding Murray had more RBIs when 348 00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,840 Speaker 6: he correct tires, he's got three hundred ninety eight homers 349 00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,040 Speaker 6: twenty four to twenty six ahead of him are Hall 350 00:17:37,080 --> 00:17:39,399 Speaker 6: of famers now because of the ped era and all that, 351 00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:41,679 Speaker 6: he is sixty second on the all time list. So 352 00:17:41,720 --> 00:17:44,040 Speaker 6: I think we forget what people like Murphy and Madge. 353 00:17:44,119 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 6: You know, Murphy was leading the league with thirty six 354 00:17:45,800 --> 00:17:48,399 Speaker 6: and thirty seven homers in the eighties. Guys said that 355 00:17:48,400 --> 00:17:50,040 Speaker 6: at the All Star break. Now, but if you were 356 00:17:50,080 --> 00:17:51,879 Speaker 6: hitting thirty six or thirty seven home runs and no 357 00:17:51,920 --> 00:17:54,119 Speaker 6: one else was, guess what, you were the best home 358 00:17:54,160 --> 00:17:57,439 Speaker 6: run hitter in baseball. And I think our memories are 359 00:17:57,480 --> 00:17:59,960 Speaker 6: short and the memories fade. But I think it's time 360 00:18:00,160 --> 00:18:02,840 Speaker 6: to just remember how great, how great he was in 361 00:18:02,880 --> 00:18:05,320 Speaker 6: the eighties, how dominant he was. And yeah, I did 362 00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 6: his career take take a nose dive as we broke 363 00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:11,439 Speaker 6: down for injury. Yes, it did same thing with Don Mattingley. Actually, 364 00:18:11,560 --> 00:18:13,160 Speaker 6: we have to move on and take away with how 365 00:18:13,200 --> 00:18:13,800 Speaker 6: great they were. 366 00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:15,919 Speaker 2: We have to move on to less important stuff. But 367 00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 2: one last question about this, do you believe they both 368 00:18:19,960 --> 00:18:20,520 Speaker 2: will get in? 369 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,080 Speaker 6: I have trouble seeing it out loud, just because I 370 00:18:23,119 --> 00:18:25,840 Speaker 6: don't want to jinx anything. I think, you know, Mattingly 371 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:29,280 Speaker 6: was second in the voting last time, and Murphy was 372 00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,479 Speaker 6: was fourth in the voting, and guy I know there 373 00:18:31,480 --> 00:18:33,239 Speaker 6: was number three in the voting was Shilling and he 374 00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,480 Speaker 6: was not on the ballot this time, so the runner 375 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:38,119 Speaker 6: up and number three, two or three guys could get in. 376 00:18:38,520 --> 00:18:41,119 Speaker 6: I feel very optimistic going into Sunday. But you know, 377 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:43,320 Speaker 6: it's all in the hands of the voters now, as they. 378 00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:46,159 Speaker 2: Say, all right, now, let's get on to some other stuff. 379 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,479 Speaker 2: And I do think this one's less important, but I 380 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,919 Speaker 2: know that everybody's talking about it, and are you going 381 00:18:51,960 --> 00:18:55,320 Speaker 2: to be talking about it this Sunday? President Trump's vitality issues. 382 00:18:55,480 --> 00:18:56,880 Speaker 6: I don't know how much it'll come up or won't 383 00:18:56,880 --> 00:18:58,679 Speaker 6: come up this Sunday. I mean, I think, you know, 384 00:18:58,680 --> 00:19:00,879 Speaker 6: you could watch that cabinet, you know, I think if 385 00:19:00,920 --> 00:19:03,960 Speaker 6: he had not talked about how healthy he was, maybe 386 00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:05,600 Speaker 6: there'd be less attention on the fact that he was 387 00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:09,040 Speaker 6: clearly fighting sleep. But you know, I haven't given much 388 00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:11,960 Speaker 6: credence into the storyline overall, just because you know, he's 389 00:19:12,000 --> 00:19:14,720 Speaker 6: still a very active guy, giving a lot of consequential things, 390 00:19:14,880 --> 00:19:17,359 Speaker 6: and so you know, if you know, if he falls 391 00:19:17,359 --> 00:19:19,720 Speaker 6: asleep in a cabinet meeting. I just don't know what 392 00:19:19,880 --> 00:19:21,880 Speaker 6: that says. I think it's notable. We should we should 393 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:24,000 Speaker 6: know that, we should point that out. Obviously, he's a 394 00:19:24,119 --> 00:19:26,879 Speaker 6: t attacked Joe Biden for being a sleepy Joe for 395 00:19:26,920 --> 00:19:28,560 Speaker 6: all those years. But I just I don't know how 396 00:19:28,640 --> 00:19:30,800 Speaker 6: much it ultimately matters, to be perfectly honest. 397 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:33,000 Speaker 2: Yeah, but seriously, there's no comparison. I think that's why 398 00:19:33,080 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 2: people are rolling their eyes at this story, especially in 399 00:19:35,560 --> 00:19:38,399 Speaker 2: the conservative side, because Joe Biden you wouldn't see for days, 400 00:19:39,119 --> 00:19:41,879 Speaker 2: and he would wander off, and he'd and on the 401 00:19:41,960 --> 00:19:44,600 Speaker 2: stage and in the field. There were obvious problems. And 402 00:19:44,640 --> 00:19:47,080 Speaker 2: then we all saw it come to light during the debate. 403 00:19:47,400 --> 00:19:49,760 Speaker 2: Donald Trump gets tired at a meeting and all of 404 00:19:49,760 --> 00:19:52,640 Speaker 2: a sudden, it's like, oh my god, he's Joe Biden 405 00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 2: two point zero. I don't think there's any comparison. So 406 00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:59,960 Speaker 2: I like the fact that you have said you don't 407 00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:02,560 Speaker 2: see too much in this It's notable that he did 408 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 2: seem to fall asleep in the meeting, but but that 409 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:06,479 Speaker 2: seems to be the exception. 410 00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:10,320 Speaker 6: Yeah, And it's just it just ultimately doesn't make that 411 00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:12,320 Speaker 6: much of a difference. If he's still doing active things 412 00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,040 Speaker 6: that are affecting people's lives. That's that's a lot more 413 00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:15,560 Speaker 6: important to. 414 00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 2: Me, at least absolutely. So let's move on to things 415 00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:21,840 Speaker 2: that are affecting people's lives. And lives that they took 416 00:20:21,920 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 2: in the in the Caribbean they said was a legal 417 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 2: air strike. Uh. Martha Radditz, by the way, has been 418 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:31,520 Speaker 2: doing incredible work on this and and her sources are 419 00:20:31,840 --> 00:20:34,560 Speaker 2: are incredible. I think that she's been doing the best 420 00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 2: reporting by far of anyone. What is the latest on 421 00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:39,640 Speaker 2: what she's been reporting. 422 00:20:39,800 --> 00:20:43,959 Speaker 6: Well, she's been reporting that the the the initial orders 423 00:20:44,200 --> 00:20:47,320 Speaker 6: uh you know, carried out through the through the Secretary 424 00:20:47,359 --> 00:20:51,720 Speaker 6: of War, through Pete Hagsath, you know, involved a full, 425 00:20:51,880 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 6: a full operational strike. And it seems like based on 426 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:55,840 Speaker 6: the video that was viewed by members of Congress and 427 00:20:55,960 --> 00:20:59,600 Speaker 6: not the public yet yesterday, that there were a couple 428 00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 6: of strikes that happened in close proximity and then a 429 00:21:02,200 --> 00:21:04,159 Speaker 6: couple of strikes that happened is sort of clean up. 430 00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,479 Speaker 6: And it does appear that the video shows that there 431 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:11,240 Speaker 6: were survivors. But the the what Martha has been reporting 432 00:21:11,320 --> 00:21:14,480 Speaker 6: is that the calculation was made in real time that 433 00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:16,879 Speaker 6: the survivors still pose a threat that they could have 434 00:21:16,920 --> 00:21:19,600 Speaker 6: been trying to communicate to people that would rescue them 435 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:22,760 Speaker 6: that there were potential places for them to put whatever 436 00:21:22,840 --> 00:21:26,960 Speaker 6: drugs that were not destroyed back on another vote, and 437 00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:29,320 Speaker 6: that's what the calculation was based on. We know other strikes, 438 00:21:29,359 --> 00:21:31,520 Speaker 6: there's been other calculations. But I should also point out 439 00:21:31,560 --> 00:21:33,440 Speaker 6: there's so much we still don't know, and we haven't 440 00:21:33,440 --> 00:21:36,439 Speaker 6: seen the full video, and I know the President this 441 00:21:36,480 --> 00:21:38,960 Speaker 6: week promised that it would get released. I think that's important, 442 00:21:39,320 --> 00:21:42,320 Speaker 6: as are the you know, the specific orders here because 443 00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:45,000 Speaker 6: so much is at stake, and Secretary of HEXAPT has been, 444 00:21:45,440 --> 00:21:48,280 Speaker 6: you know, praising the admiral who gave the orders, but 445 00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 6: also by naming him, has been distancing himself just a 446 00:21:50,960 --> 00:21:54,000 Speaker 6: little bit from the chain of responsibility. 447 00:21:53,600 --> 00:21:55,440 Speaker 2: What do you have coming up this Sunday? 448 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:59,119 Speaker 6: Yeah, George will obviously be covering this story. George. George 449 00:21:59,160 --> 00:22:02,840 Speaker 6: is going to be talking to Congress with Adam Smith, 450 00:22:02,880 --> 00:22:04,600 Speaker 6: the top Democrat in the Armed Services Committe, as well 451 00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:06,560 Speaker 6: as one of the Republicans who saw the video and 452 00:22:07,080 --> 00:22:09,480 Speaker 6: responding and reacting in real time. And I'll tell you, 453 00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:12,000 Speaker 6: Martha's got a really great place, you know, December seventh, 454 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:13,560 Speaker 6: in addition to being the day of the Baseball Hall 455 00:22:13,600 --> 00:22:16,480 Speaker 6: of Fame voting, is also Pearl Harvard Day, and she's 456 00:22:16,520 --> 00:22:21,240 Speaker 6: got just an incredible piece. Looking at the Pearl Harvard 457 00:22:21,280 --> 00:22:23,320 Speaker 6: Museum there and getting through some of the history, you know, 458 00:22:23,359 --> 00:22:26,840 Speaker 6: with so few of those survivors left after all these years, 459 00:22:26,880 --> 00:22:28,879 Speaker 6: it's I think, an important little glimpse of history. 460 00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,840 Speaker 2: Rick. I'll be watching, but I'll be thinking of you 461 00:22:32,240 --> 00:22:35,200 Speaker 2: and also watching the Hall of Fame voting. I hope 462 00:22:35,240 --> 00:22:37,679 Speaker 2: those guys both get in. They deserve it. Thank you 463 00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:41,360 Speaker 2: so much, Rick Kline, ABC News Washington Bureau Chief.

Good morning till you're rich, Thanks 472 00:23:10,280 --> 00:23:13,240 Speaker 2: for being with us as always, so it sounds like 473 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:17,399 Speaker 2: the big bing go ho ho, the big news of 474 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,399 Speaker 2: the week and just in time for Christmas. Comes from Samsung. 475 00:23:20,520 --> 00:23:23,320 Speaker 1: Huh yeah. I mean, look, I think in the US 476 00:23:23,359 --> 00:23:26,159 Speaker 1: we haven't really warmed up to foldable phones yet. You 477 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:29,760 Speaker 1: know the one that just folds in half. Now, Samsung 478 00:23:29,920 --> 00:23:33,080 Speaker 1: is doing a trifold. That's right, it's called the Samsung 479 00:23:33,200 --> 00:23:37,879 Speaker 1: Z trifold. You've got basically three screens side by side 480 00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: that fold up like a Z but they unfold to 481 00:23:41,080 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: a ten inch display. We're talking. You know, that's a 482 00:23:43,720 --> 00:23:45,000 Speaker 1: mini iPad in your pocket. 483 00:23:45,119 --> 00:23:45,320 Speaker 2: Right. 484 00:23:45,400 --> 00:23:47,800 Speaker 1: So this is already launching in South Korea next week, 485 00:23:48,119 --> 00:23:49,920 Speaker 1: and then in the US it's gonna be the first 486 00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:54,080 Speaker 1: quarter of twenty twenty six. Price probably expecting around twenty 487 00:23:54,080 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 1: five hundred dollars. We'll see. This is probably gonna be 488 00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,600 Speaker 1: a very limited availability and a very limited audience that 489 00:24:00,680 --> 00:24:02,080 Speaker 1: actually wants something like this. 490 00:24:02,240 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 2: And you sound skeptical, Well. 491 00:24:04,400 --> 00:24:06,840 Speaker 1: I've tried foldable phones. I think they're great if you 492 00:24:06,880 --> 00:24:09,800 Speaker 1: are a traveler or a business person. I personally just 493 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,359 Speaker 1: don't really have a need for it, but I think 494 00:24:12,400 --> 00:24:15,320 Speaker 1: that people who have them that I know, they absolutely 495 00:24:15,359 --> 00:24:17,440 Speaker 1: love them. So there is a market for it. It's 496 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:20,439 Speaker 1: just very small and Apple has not done this yet. 497 00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:22,520 Speaker 1: Once they do it, that market will grow. 498 00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:26,679 Speaker 2: Talking about growing, it's amazing what Amazon has grown into. 499 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 2: Everybody seems to be shopping on Amazon, and everybody's looking 500 00:24:30,840 --> 00:24:33,280 Speaker 2: for the best prices. You've been grad at telling us 501 00:24:33,720 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 2: some of the ways they can find the best prices. 502 00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,359 Speaker 2: If somebody is going down right now the shop for 503 00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:43,840 Speaker 2: Christmas on Amazon, what do you suggest walk us through it? Okay? 504 00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:48,160 Speaker 1: Number one. Amazon has added a price history link near 505 00:24:48,280 --> 00:24:51,919 Speaker 1: most of the pricing on their website, so look for that. 506 00:24:52,119 --> 00:24:54,520 Speaker 1: Most people miss it. You tap that, it will bring 507 00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:57,280 Speaker 1: up a chart of the past thirty or ninety days 508 00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,200 Speaker 1: of the price of that product. That way you can 509 00:24:59,240 --> 00:25:02,199 Speaker 1: tell if the current price is lower than average, or 510 00:25:02,240 --> 00:25:04,160 Speaker 1: it's the same as average, or if it's a deal. 511 00:25:04,240 --> 00:25:06,920 Speaker 1: So that's number one. If you don't see that, They've 512 00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:10,119 Speaker 1: got this AI assistant called rufus, which is actually really 513 00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:13,600 Speaker 1: good about telling you information about Amazon products. So look 514 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:16,359 Speaker 1: for that link and you can type in price history. 515 00:25:16,600 --> 00:25:18,240 Speaker 1: It will give you the price history, You can ask 516 00:25:18,359 --> 00:25:21,600 Speaker 1: questions about the product, and you can even set it 517 00:25:21,640 --> 00:25:24,520 Speaker 1: to auto purchase the product at a price that you want, 518 00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,359 Speaker 1: or you can even have it alert you to a 519 00:25:27,400 --> 00:25:30,000 Speaker 1: price to a price drop. So if you want something 520 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: for twenty dollars versus twenty five, you could set that 521 00:25:32,760 --> 00:25:34,840 Speaker 1: price drop. You have to do that in the mobile app. 522 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,919 Speaker 1: The other two things I like Camelcamelcamel dot com I know, 523 00:25:39,080 --> 00:25:42,160 Speaker 1: silly name, but helpful website. You can paste an Amazon 524 00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:44,240 Speaker 1: link in there. It will give you the full price 525 00:25:44,320 --> 00:25:46,320 Speaker 1: history and then if you want to see all the 526 00:25:46,359 --> 00:25:49,479 Speaker 1: price history like way too much. I'm telling you, Larry, 527 00:25:49,920 --> 00:25:52,960 Speaker 1: it's called KIPA. You can install that on your browser 528 00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:56,160 Speaker 1: and on every Amazon page. It will show you, I'm 529 00:25:56,160 --> 00:25:58,520 Speaker 1: not kidding, more stuff than you need to know about 530 00:25:58,600 --> 00:26:01,240 Speaker 1: pricing history. It's all there on your page. 531 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:03,119 Speaker 2: So not worth the price is what you're saying. 532 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,800 Speaker 1: No, it's free, but it's you know, it's just that's 533 00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:07,879 Speaker 1: for like real shopping nerds. Like we were shooting a 534 00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,600 Speaker 1: story yesterday about this product in my photographer goes, that's 535 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,199 Speaker 1: for like real shopping nerds. Tom. I'm like, yes, and 536 00:26:14,240 --> 00:26:15,760 Speaker 1: that's what I am. So that's why I have it on. 537 00:26:15,720 --> 00:26:17,919 Speaker 2: That Oh so you like it. It's for you, but 538 00:26:17,960 --> 00:26:20,159 Speaker 2: you're saying it's not for everybody. I get it. I 539 00:26:20,160 --> 00:26:20,879 Speaker 2: will tell you this. 540 00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:22,760 Speaker 1: You have to be prepared for what you're going to 541 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:23,920 Speaker 1: see there's a lot. 542 00:26:24,280 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 2: You've talked about camel Camel cambell before, and now I've 543 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,800 Speaker 2: heard about camel Camel, Camel, Camel, cammell from three different 544 00:26:30,840 --> 00:26:35,280 Speaker 2: people who are not tech people. This is becoming extremely popular. 545 00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:36,080 Speaker 2: Explain why. 546 00:26:36,320 --> 00:26:38,920 Speaker 1: Well, the thing is it tells you. You know, on Amazon, 547 00:26:38,920 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 1: there's a lot of pressure because they're the smartest retailer 548 00:26:41,880 --> 00:26:43,679 Speaker 1: in the room right now, so they know how to 549 00:26:43,720 --> 00:26:46,160 Speaker 1: make us press by and they know. I always joke 550 00:26:46,200 --> 00:26:48,920 Speaker 1: to my wife, my paycheck should go directly to Amazon 551 00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,879 Speaker 1: and they give me the rest when they're done with it, 552 00:26:51,240 --> 00:26:55,359 Speaker 1: because that's what's happening at this point. So Amazon knows 553 00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:57,680 Speaker 1: how to get us to spend money. I think having 554 00:26:57,720 --> 00:27:01,640 Speaker 1: that price history and that perspective on the pricing kind 555 00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:04,359 Speaker 1: of relieve some of that pressure to buy now. And 556 00:27:04,400 --> 00:27:07,280 Speaker 1: I get it, it's shopping. It's holiday season. We're looking 557 00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:09,560 Speaker 1: for those gifts, so we want to buy things. But 558 00:27:09,720 --> 00:27:11,600 Speaker 1: just know that if something is not a deal, you 559 00:27:11,640 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: can kind of push it off a little bit until 560 00:27:13,520 --> 00:27:14,480 Speaker 1: it does become a deal. 561 00:27:14,640 --> 00:27:18,480 Speaker 2: Can we trust the deals online in promo codes? 562 00:27:19,600 --> 00:27:21,640 Speaker 1: I think so, And again I think it all comes 563 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,040 Speaker 1: down to perspective, and that's why I've got websites that 564 00:27:24,080 --> 00:27:26,040 Speaker 1: I like.
