But yes, we will give you those details 20 00:00:55,040 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 2: in just a bit. We begin this Friday Morning Run, however, 21 00:00:58,400 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 2: with official word that the New Year's Day attack in 22 00:01:01,280 --> 00:01:03,600 Speaker 2: New Orleans was in fact the act of a lone 23 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:07,120 Speaker 2: wolf and completely unrelated to the Tesla truck flass that 24 00:01:07,160 --> 00:01:08,160 Speaker 2: happened in Vegas. 25 00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 3: Yeah. 26 00:01:08,600 --> 00:01:12,399 Speaker 1: The New Orleans attacker forty two euro shamsu Din Jabbar 27 00:01:12,760 --> 00:01:15,679 Speaker 1: was shot and killed by police after driving his rented 28 00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: vehicle at high speed through three blocks of Bourbon Street. 29 00:01:19,120 --> 00:01:22,160 Speaker 1: Of course, it was filled with New Year's revelers. In all, 30 00:01:22,240 --> 00:01:26,520 Speaker 1: now fourteen people have been confirmed killed by authorities, thirty 31 00:01:26,560 --> 00:01:27,679 Speaker 1: five others injured. 32 00:01:27,840 --> 00:01:30,640 Speaker 2: Yes, Jabbar got out of his vehicle and open fire 33 00:01:30,720 --> 00:01:33,440 Speaker 2: on police once they arrived, before he was eventually killed 34 00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:36,800 Speaker 2: in that gunfire exchange. The FBI has done and about 35 00:01:36,840 --> 00:01:39,520 Speaker 2: based on Jabbar, initially saying they did not believe he 36 00:01:39,560 --> 00:01:42,919 Speaker 2: acted alone, to now saying that he is in fact 37 00:01:43,160 --> 00:01:45,680 Speaker 2: solely responsible for the New Year's Day massacre. 38 00:01:45,840 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 3: Yeah. 39 00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:49,040 Speaker 1: He apparently posted several videos on social media before the 40 00:01:49,080 --> 00:01:51,920 Speaker 1: attack saying he had joined ISIS last year, choosing to 41 00:01:51,960 --> 00:01:55,720 Speaker 1: join the terrorist organization rather than his initial plan of 42 00:01:55,840 --> 00:01:59,440 Speaker 1: harming his family and friends. This again all according to 43 00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,640 Speaker 1: his writings, His hope was that news coverage would focus 44 00:02:03,240 --> 00:02:07,000 Speaker 1: on the war between believers and non believers, again his 45 00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:10,200 Speaker 1: words here. It was also made clear that this attack 46 00:02:10,360 --> 00:02:12,960 Speaker 1: had the potential to be far worse according to authority. 47 00:02:13,080 --> 00:02:15,960 Speaker 2: Yes, President Joe Biden told reporters that Jabbar actually had 48 00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:19,160 Speaker 2: a remote detonator in his truck that was supposed to 49 00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,280 Speaker 2: set off explosive devices he had placed in two ice 50 00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:26,600 Speaker 2: coolers along Bourbon Street. Officials were able to locate those 51 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,120 Speaker 2: IEDs and render them harmless, as well as a pipe 52 00:02:29,120 --> 00:02:32,160 Speaker 2: bomb and a grenade found in the suspects truck. But 53 00:02:32,560 --> 00:02:36,360 Speaker 2: he had intentions and it looked as though clear plans 54 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,880 Speaker 2: to do even more damage than he already did on 55 00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:39,560 Speaker 2: New Year's Day. 56 00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:41,960 Speaker 1: And to that point when they found all those devices 57 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,440 Speaker 1: and looked like this could have been a bigger and 58 00:02:43,480 --> 00:02:47,120 Speaker 1: broader attack, that prompted them in a big way to 59 00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: postponem the Sugar Bowl. So it did finally go off 60 00:02:51,280 --> 00:02:53,919 Speaker 1: last night in New Orleans. We will continue with Iron 61 00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:56,839 Speaker 1: staying in New Orleans where that postponed Sugar Bowl got 62 00:02:56,880 --> 00:02:58,400 Speaker 1: off to an emotional start. 63 00:02:58,520 --> 00:02:59,040 Speaker 3: Yesterday. 64 00:02:59,400 --> 00:03:02,560 Speaker 1: There was an extended moment of silence to honor the 65 00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:06,200 Speaker 1: victims of that New Year's Day attack, followed by a 66 00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:09,799 Speaker 1: rousing rendition of the national anthem by New Orleans native Samayra. 67 00:03:10,160 --> 00:03:14,400 Speaker 1: The crowd then immediately broke into a Usa Usa chant 68 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:17,320 Speaker 1: in ropes. This is something we have seen national tragedies 69 00:03:17,320 --> 00:03:20,359 Speaker 1: in this country, it's oftentimes a sporting event to where 70 00:03:20,400 --> 00:03:23,800 Speaker 1: that national anthem just it hits different. Yeah, after a 71 00:03:23,880 --> 00:03:27,040 Speaker 1: national tragedy, it feels like a moment. We debate about 72 00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: the national anthem in this country and fight over it, 73 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,880 Speaker 1: sometimes taking a knee and how do you protest that? 74 00:03:31,280 --> 00:03:34,440 Speaker 1: But in those moments of national tragedy that the national 75 00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,480 Speaker 1: anthem is not controversial. It seems like the one thing 76 00:03:36,520 --> 00:03:37,360 Speaker 1: that can bring us all again. 77 00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,680 Speaker 2: It's true, and sports seems to do that too as well. 78 00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:41,920 Speaker 2: Even though you've got two opposing teams and everyone there's 79 00:03:41,920 --> 00:03:44,600 Speaker 2: a winner and a loser. It doesn't matter when those 80 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:47,960 Speaker 2: moments happen, especially following a tragedy, you do feel this 81 00:03:48,120 --> 00:03:50,880 Speaker 2: unification in the stadium, and that certainly happened last night. 82 00:03:50,920 --> 00:03:54,560 Speaker 2: But the problem is if you weren't actually in the stadium, 83 00:03:55,040 --> 00:03:57,600 Speaker 2: you didn't see or hear those moments because they were 84 00:03:57,640 --> 00:04:01,120 Speaker 2: not a part of the ESPN broadcast, and social media 85 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 2: erupted with criticism of the network for not broadcasting either 86 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 2: of those very significant moments. Given the enormous tragedy that 87 00:04:09,400 --> 00:04:12,040 Speaker 2: happened right there in New Orleans. 88 00:04:11,720 --> 00:04:13,360 Speaker 1: It makes sense, Yeah, and we should say that as 89 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,560 Speaker 1: of this recording, we don't have official word. Who knows 90 00:04:15,600 --> 00:04:17,920 Speaker 1: what goes into broadcasting. Look, we've been a part of 91 00:04:17,960 --> 00:04:20,520 Speaker 1: a lot of broadcasts over the years, and there are 92 00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,560 Speaker 1: different reasons for decisions being made that I have to 93 00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:27,279 Speaker 1: do with commercial times and all kinds of things. So 94 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:29,960 Speaker 1: we don't actually know, So we don't. We want to 95 00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:32,360 Speaker 1: make that clear. We should make clear though, that ESPN 96 00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:35,040 Speaker 1: and some of their other broadcasts of college football playoff 97 00:04:35,080 --> 00:04:39,240 Speaker 1: games also did not broadcast the national anthem, So it's 98 00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,560 Speaker 1: not always done last night, though, yes, and. 99 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:44,280 Speaker 4: That had to have been a decision. 100 00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:47,680 Speaker 2: Look, and this was not a previously scheduled game to 101 00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:49,840 Speaker 2: happen in that time slot. It was supposed to happen 102 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:52,000 Speaker 2: the day before, the night before at eight forty five, 103 00:04:52,360 --> 00:04:54,360 Speaker 2: so a lot of juggling and shuffling had to take 104 00:04:54,400 --> 00:04:57,080 Speaker 2: place to make it happen. However, that had to have 105 00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,920 Speaker 2: been a decision that was made, it would seem. 106 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:02,360 Speaker 1: So we will wait though, like I always say, we 107 00:05:02,400 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: will wait and hear about what it was. They did share, though, 108 00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:08,919 Speaker 1: ESPN a video message from President Biden. He recorded this 109 00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:11,040 Speaker 1: video message. It was aired before the game, in which 110 00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:13,520 Speaker 1: he said, in part I'm glad the game is back 111 00:05:13,560 --> 00:05:15,919 Speaker 1: on for today, but I'm not surprised because the spirit 112 00:05:15,960 --> 00:05:18,640 Speaker 1: of New Orleans can never be kept down. That's also 113 00:05:18,720 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: true of the spirit of America. We just have to 114 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:24,400 Speaker 1: remember who we are with the United States of America. 115 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:24,960 Speaker 4: All right. 116 00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 2: The game kicked off, as we pointed out, twenty hours late, 117 00:05:28,160 --> 00:05:30,799 Speaker 2: out of an abundance of caution after the Bourbon Street 118 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:34,720 Speaker 2: attack and after those explosive devices were discovered in the area. 119 00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:38,120 Speaker 2: Because of the postponement, of course, a lot of fans 120 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:41,039 Speaker 2: could not or did not want to stick around, so 121 00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,719 Speaker 2: you did see some empty patches of seats throughout the stadium. 122 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,800 Speaker 2: But once the game started, things felt pretty normal. It 123 00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:51,960 Speaker 2: was like any other college football game, except if you 124 00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:53,200 Speaker 2: were a Georgia fan. 125 00:05:53,680 --> 00:05:57,000 Speaker 4: Notre Dame ultimately won twenty three to ten. 126 00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 1: And I know how much you love your Georgia Bulldogs 127 00:05:59,680 --> 00:06:02,080 Speaker 1: and this didn't work out the way you wanted it to. 128 00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:04,120 Speaker 1: But it was something about it. It felt like, huh, 129 00:06:04,160 --> 00:06:04,800 Speaker 1: it's just a game. 130 00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:06,520 Speaker 3: Yeah, it was a part of that. 131 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: Unfortunately the tragedy made it feel that way. But yes, 132 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,200 Speaker 1: Georgia will not be moving on. But one thing from 133 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:17,320 Speaker 1: this game that stood out is a bizarre and ultimately 134 00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,279 Speaker 1: viral moment that has put the focus on one Georgia 135 00:06:20,360 --> 00:06:25,160 Speaker 1: football player who some are blaming for the team's loss. 136 00:06:25,200 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: But get this, he didn't even play in the game. 137 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:29,040 Speaker 3: So stay with us here. 138 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:31,400 Speaker 1: Early in the second quarter, after Georgia had its biggest 139 00:06:31,400 --> 00:06:33,839 Speaker 1: play of the game, a sixty seven yard pass, Georgia 140 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:38,240 Speaker 1: was flagged for sideline interference because a player on the 141 00:06:38,279 --> 00:06:42,480 Speaker 1: Georgia team on the sideline collided with the referee during 142 00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,840 Speaker 1: that big play. That penalty then cost Georgia a better 143 00:06:45,920 --> 00:06:48,640 Speaker 1: chance of scoring a touchdown. They ultimately had to settle 144 00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:50,080 Speaker 1: for a field goal. 145 00:06:51,360 --> 00:06:53,960 Speaker 2: Yes, okay, so potentially some lost points, there are some 146 00:06:54,040 --> 00:06:57,400 Speaker 2: lost momentum. Even more was pointed to. But the player 147 00:06:57,400 --> 00:06:59,960 Speaker 2: who collided with the ref was a walk on saw 148 00:07:00,160 --> 00:07:00,840 Speaker 2: More cornerback. 149 00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,000 Speaker 4: His name is Parker Jones. 150 00:07:02,240 --> 00:07:04,599 Speaker 2: He was in street clothes, he had sweatpants on, he 151 00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,440 Speaker 2: wasn't dressed for the game, and he actually hasn't recorded 152 00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:11,880 Speaker 2: a single statistic all season. He hasn't really played, so 153 00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:13,400 Speaker 2: he made a mistake. 154 00:07:13,440 --> 00:07:13,920 Speaker 4: In all of his. 155 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:17,600 Speaker 2: Excitement, he stepped into a restricted area that is reserved 156 00:07:17,600 --> 00:07:21,480 Speaker 2: for referees, and now he's being ridiculed and threatened online. 157 00:07:21,720 --> 00:07:24,720 Speaker 2: ESPN is also being criticized for focusing so much on him. 158 00:07:24,720 --> 00:07:27,360 Speaker 2: I believe it was two quarters later they were still 159 00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:31,800 Speaker 2: showing him, as they said, walking aimlessly on the sideline. 160 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,520 Speaker 2: So he was being pointed out far past the problem. 161 00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:37,920 Speaker 2: So a lot of people are pointing to that as well. 162 00:07:38,480 --> 00:07:42,240 Speaker 2: And look, Yahoo Sports said this best. They said, social 163 00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:45,160 Speaker 2: media can never resist a pylon, even when there's an 164 00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,280 Speaker 2: actual human being who was already having a bad day 165 00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:49,440 Speaker 2: lying at the bottom. 166 00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:50,840 Speaker 4: That kind of sums it up. 167 00:07:51,280 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 1: It isn't this kid, I would he made a mistake. 168 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 1: You could even go as far as saying as a 169 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:58,800 Speaker 1: bone had a mistake. You can go as far as 170 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,280 Speaker 1: saying as a mistake that should not be made. But 171 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: if there's a player, what about the guy who got 172 00:08:03,880 --> 00:08:05,520 Speaker 1: holding in the third quarter? What about the guy who 173 00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:06,360 Speaker 1: had pass interference? 174 00:08:06,440 --> 00:08:07,200 Speaker 3: Yes, those guys. 175 00:08:07,080 --> 00:08:08,760 Speaker 1: Are in the game, so it feels different for the 176 00:08:08,800 --> 00:08:11,840 Speaker 1: mistakes they made. But this kid, they want to say 177 00:08:11,880 --> 00:08:15,960 Speaker 1: just because he doesn't play, he's not an active player. 178 00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,800 Speaker 1: He's not someone who contributes to the team day in 179 00:08:18,880 --> 00:08:21,400 Speaker 1: day out in a game. But I don't know, maybe 180 00:08:21,400 --> 00:08:24,600 Speaker 1: he helps some of the guys with their Bible study. 181 00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:26,080 Speaker 3: Maybe he contributes to the team. 182 00:08:26,120 --> 00:08:28,080 Speaker 1: What I'm saying is there are other ways this kid 183 00:08:28,080 --> 00:08:30,960 Speaker 1: could probably contribute or has contributed that we just don't 184 00:08:31,000 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: know about. And we see him make one mistake in exciting. 185 00:08:33,800 --> 00:08:35,800 Speaker 1: It was an honest mistake because he was excited. He 186 00:08:35,880 --> 00:08:38,200 Speaker 1: was just chasing the play going down the sideline. But 187 00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:40,480 Speaker 1: next time you watch a game, folks, you're going to 188 00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:43,400 Speaker 1: see this white patch along the sideline that is the 189 00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:47,040 Speaker 1: referees area, and the referee has got to know that 190 00:08:47,120 --> 00:08:49,800 Speaker 1: area is clear because he's running down the sideline following 191 00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,600 Speaker 1: a play and it's dangerous if you're in there. It's 192 00:08:52,640 --> 00:08:55,760 Speaker 1: that simple. The call was correct, but this kid, my 193 00:08:55,840 --> 00:08:57,480 Speaker 1: heart goes out to him. He made a mistake and 194 00:08:57,520 --> 00:08:58,880 Speaker 1: now everybody's looking at him. 195 00:08:59,040 --> 00:09:01,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, in this way, be Smart pointed out that yes, 196 00:09:01,320 --> 00:09:03,640 Speaker 2: it is a safety issue, but usually you do get 197 00:09:03,679 --> 00:09:05,880 Speaker 2: a warning. So it was a little confusing and it 198 00:09:05,920 --> 00:09:08,480 Speaker 2: was a pretty bad collision though, so that is perhaps 199 00:09:08,480 --> 00:09:11,080 Speaker 2: the reason why they went ahead and put the penalty 200 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:11,400 Speaker 2: on it. 201 00:09:11,440 --> 00:09:12,640 Speaker 4: But yes, to your point, TJ. 202 00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 2: That enthusiasm might be a help to the team in 203 00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:17,760 Speaker 2: most other instances, it just ended up costing them in 204 00:09:17,800 --> 00:09:18,400 Speaker 2: this one. 205 00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,679 Speaker 1: In this moment, and obviously he's not the reason they 206 00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:21,080 Speaker 1: lost them. 207 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,800 Speaker 2: No, no, everyone wants a scapegun, right, everyone wants to 208 00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,640 Speaker 2: say it's your fault, But there were a collection of 209 00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:29,920 Speaker 2: errors that took place, all right. Next up on the Run, 210 00:09:29,920 --> 00:09:32,600 Speaker 2: we're going to head to Vegas with more on the 211 00:09:32,640 --> 00:09:35,559 Speaker 2: who and why of the Tesla truck explosion that took 212 00:09:35,600 --> 00:09:38,880 Speaker 2: place outside the Trump International Hotel there. The driver was 213 00:09:38,960 --> 00:09:43,360 Speaker 2: thirty seven year old active duty soldier Matthew Livelsberger. He 214 00:09:43,480 --> 00:09:45,840 Speaker 2: died of a self inflicted gunshot wound to the head 215 00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:50,120 Speaker 2: before the vehicle exploded. Seven other sustained minor injuries in 216 00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:50,720 Speaker 2: that blast. 217 00:09:50,840 --> 00:09:53,600 Speaker 1: Two guns were found in the vehicle after the blast, 218 00:09:53,679 --> 00:09:56,400 Speaker 1: a handgun and a rifle. They were both purchased legally 219 00:09:56,840 --> 00:10:00,520 Speaker 1: by Livelsberger. On Monday, he pulled into the Trump National 220 00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:04,360 Speaker 1: International Las Vegas Hotel Valley area around seven point thirty 221 00:10:04,559 --> 00:10:08,240 Speaker 1: in the morning, but then he left, driving alongside laws 222 00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:11,080 Speaker 1: Bakers Boulevard before returning to the Valet area about an 223 00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:14,760 Speaker 1: hour later, and then the truck exploded about seventeen seconds 224 00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:16,280 Speaker 1: after he pulled in that second time. 225 00:10:16,400 --> 00:10:20,359 Speaker 2: The FBI is investigating this as a possible act of terrorism. 226 00:10:20,440 --> 00:10:23,520 Speaker 2: But it is not believed to have any direct connection 227 00:10:23,559 --> 00:10:25,520 Speaker 2: to the New Year's Day truck attack in New Orleans. 228 00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,400 Speaker 2: Even though, and here's just the coincidence. It appears that 229 00:10:29,440 --> 00:10:32,960 Speaker 2: both men and these incidents used the same vehicle renting 230 00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:36,200 Speaker 2: app it's called Touro to secure their vehicles. And again 231 00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,520 Speaker 2: it does appear, according to officials, to just be a coincidence. Officials, 232 00:10:40,520 --> 00:10:43,240 Speaker 2: including President Biden, have all said they do not believe 233 00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:48,280 Speaker 2: there is any further danger to the community following this explosion, 234 00:10:48,400 --> 00:10:50,679 Speaker 2: but look, the motive is still being looked at. He 235 00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 2: served as a green Beret in the Army. He was 236 00:10:53,840 --> 00:10:56,640 Speaker 2: on approved leave from serving in Germany at the time 237 00:10:56,679 --> 00:10:59,200 Speaker 2: of his death. His wife said she hadn't heard from 238 00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,160 Speaker 2: him a couple of days, but his father said he 239 00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,320 Speaker 2: spoke to him at Christmas everything seemed fine, saying he 240 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:06,760 Speaker 2: was a devoted father. So this might just be a 241 00:11:07,880 --> 00:11:11,800 Speaker 2: sad act of desperation by someone who is going through 242 00:11:11,800 --> 00:11:12,640 Speaker 2: a tough time, but. 243 00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: It's bizarre, certainly a wild coincidence. Both of these incidents 244 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,840 Speaker 1: happening on New Year's Day, both have guys with military 245 00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:25,400 Speaker 1: backgrounds involved, and both use that same app. They wanted 246 00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:27,120 Speaker 1: to make clear though, we get it, but it's just 247 00:11:27,160 --> 00:11:29,920 Speaker 1: a coincidence that these things happen. They are not connected. 248 00:11:29,960 --> 00:11:32,120 Speaker 1: We'll stay with us as we continue here on our run. 249 00:11:32,200 --> 00:11:35,800 Speaker 1: On this Friday morning robog and are considering launching a 250 00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:40,240 Speaker 1: whole new podcast dedicated just the recalls, because we got 251 00:11:40,240 --> 00:11:41,040 Speaker 1: another one, folks. 252 00:11:41,040 --> 00:11:42,880 Speaker 3: This time it's the broccoli. 253 00:11:43,080 --> 00:11:53,640 Speaker 1: Stay with us, all right, folks, welcome back to this 254 00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:56,720 Speaker 1: Friday edition of Morning Run. We will continue the run 255 00:11:56,760 --> 00:12:00,520 Speaker 1: now with another recall. This time we're talking broccoli, specifically 256 00:12:00,559 --> 00:12:05,040 Speaker 1: broccoli sold at Walmart stores in twenty states, and the 257 00:12:05,080 --> 00:12:07,880 Speaker 1: concern here is listeria contamination. 258 00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 2: The company is brag Afresh out of California. The product 259 00:12:11,240 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 2: is called market Side Broccoli Florettes and they were sold 260 00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 2: in ready to eat twelve ounce bags. The good news 261 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 2: is that the produce has already passed its best if 262 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,320 Speaker 2: used by date of December tenth, so thankfully it is 263 00:12:23,360 --> 00:12:26,079 Speaker 2: out of stores. But there is a concern it may 264 00:12:26,200 --> 00:12:28,040 Speaker 2: still be in your freezer. 265 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,360 Speaker 1: Yeah, FDA urging anybody with the product to throw it 266 00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:34,199 Speaker 1: out if you have it stored. If you got this 267 00:12:34,240 --> 00:12:35,560 Speaker 1: stuff in the house, you need to get rid of it. 268 00:12:35,559 --> 00:12:38,000 Speaker 1: It's that simple so far, Nobody has been confirmed with 269 00:12:38,080 --> 00:12:41,800 Speaker 1: listeria contamination from the broccoli, but officials warned that listeria 270 00:12:41,840 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: has potentially life threatening effects, particularly for pregnant women, newborns, 271 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 1: older adult, anyone with compromised immune systems. 272 00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:50,200 Speaker 3: Robes. 273 00:12:50,200 --> 00:12:52,920 Speaker 1: We've covered enough of these was listeria one that sometimes 274 00:12:52,920 --> 00:12:55,600 Speaker 1: it takes weeks to trace to see if somebody's connected 275 00:12:55,640 --> 00:12:56,559 Speaker 1: to that particular Outburt. 276 00:12:56,679 --> 00:12:59,280 Speaker 2: Yeah, so you know, authorities, the FDA put a big 277 00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,640 Speaker 2: push out there to let people know about this recall 278 00:13:01,679 --> 00:13:03,960 Speaker 2: because yes, it's hard to connect the dot sometimes and 279 00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,880 Speaker 2: if you haven't gone to the hospital to report any infections, 280 00:13:06,880 --> 00:13:09,440 Speaker 2: they don't really know if anyone's been affected. But it 281 00:13:09,480 --> 00:13:13,120 Speaker 2: can take weeks to figure this all out. So again, please, 282 00:13:13,120 --> 00:13:15,240 Speaker 2: if you have any questions, go look on the FDA website. 283 00:13:15,240 --> 00:13:17,800 Speaker 2: They have all the details you need to know. Next 284 00:13:17,920 --> 00:13:22,520 Speaker 2: up on the run is Apple snooping on you. The 285 00:13:22,600 --> 00:13:26,280 Speaker 2: company has agreed to pay ninety five million dollars to 286 00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:29,560 Speaker 2: settle a lawsuit that accuses it of doing that very thing. 287 00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:33,720 Speaker 2: The settlement would resolve a five year lawsuit that alleges 288 00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:38,359 Speaker 2: Apple uses or used its virtual assistant Siri to eavesdrop 289 00:13:38,679 --> 00:13:43,440 Speaker 2: and then record conversations through iPhones and other devices for 290 00:13:43,480 --> 00:13:44,720 Speaker 2: more than a decade. 291 00:13:44,840 --> 00:13:45,600 Speaker 3: That's scary as hell. 292 00:13:46,160 --> 00:13:50,040 Speaker 1: According to the laws of the recordings weren't even activated 293 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:54,120 Speaker 1: with the trigger words hey Siri. The accusation goes on 294 00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:57,120 Speaker 1: to say that some of the recorded conversations were shared 295 00:13:57,240 --> 00:14:01,120 Speaker 1: with advertisers to target potential consumers. We need to point out, though, 296 00:14:01,160 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 1: that even though Apple has agreed to pay ninety five 297 00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:09,200 Speaker 1: million dollars to settle this lawsuit, they're still saying, Hey, 298 00:14:09,480 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: we ain't doing anything wrong. So yes, in the midst 299 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:13,400 Speaker 1: of all this, yeah, we'll pay you, but we're not 300 00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:15,200 Speaker 1: saying we actually did anything wrong. 301 00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,400 Speaker 4: I'm laughing right now because we could be recorded. 302 00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:21,000 Speaker 2: When you said hey Siri, my computer immediately went up 303 00:14:21,040 --> 00:14:24,640 Speaker 2: to the seri and started. It looked like recording our conversation. 304 00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:28,160 Speaker 2: And you know, I've said this plenty. I will be talking, 305 00:14:28,440 --> 00:14:31,240 Speaker 2: I will be saying something. I'll say something as random 306 00:14:31,240 --> 00:14:34,080 Speaker 2: as talking about cardinals, my favorite bird, and all of 307 00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:37,120 Speaker 2: a sudden, I will start getting advertisements for bird feeders 308 00:14:37,160 --> 00:14:39,520 Speaker 2: with cardinals featured on it. You tell me that's a 309 00:14:39,560 --> 00:14:41,520 Speaker 2: coincidence that just happened last week. 310 00:14:41,720 --> 00:14:42,800 Speaker 3: I think it's all in your head. 311 00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,360 Speaker 2: All right, Well, if this settlement is approved, because a 312 00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:50,240 Speaker 2: judge still has to do that, tens of millions of 313 00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:53,760 Speaker 2: Apple device owners could file claims and you could receive 314 00:14:53,840 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 2: up to twenty dollars per Sirie equipped device. If you 315 00:14:57,680 --> 00:14:59,720 Speaker 2: want to file the claim, you will be limited to 316 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,120 Speaker 2: see compensation for up to five devices. 317 00:15:02,160 --> 00:15:05,120 Speaker 4: So I guess that could win you about one hundred bucks. 318 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:05,960 Speaker 4: One hundred bucks. 319 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:08,720 Speaker 2: Now, this is my favorite thing in the lawsuit. They've 320 00:15:08,720 --> 00:15:12,760 Speaker 2: calculated how many people they believe will actually file a claim. 321 00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 2: They think only about three to five percent of eligible 322 00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,360 Speaker 2: consumers will actually go through the process of filing a 323 00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,120 Speaker 2: claim to get that twenty box or that hundred bucks. 324 00:15:21,120 --> 00:15:23,080 Speaker 1: So I have it right, we're all eligible, but they're 325 00:15:23,120 --> 00:15:24,800 Speaker 1: saying most people won't even take the time. 326 00:15:24,880 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 3: Correct, But we're eligible. Yes, oh we're offside of it. 327 00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:29,520 Speaker 2: If you have a serie, if you and this is 328 00:15:29,600 --> 00:15:32,000 Speaker 2: once the lawsuit goes through, once the judge approves it, 329 00:15:32,200 --> 00:15:34,240 Speaker 2: then you could go and do that. Now you mentioned 330 00:15:34,320 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 2: ninety five million dollars. Yeah, that sounds like a lot, 331 00:15:36,480 --> 00:15:39,760 Speaker 2: but the payout is just a fraction of what the 332 00:15:39,840 --> 00:15:43,800 Speaker 2: lawyer representing consumers anticipated it would be if it actually 333 00:15:43,840 --> 00:15:45,080 Speaker 2: went to trial and went to court. 334 00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:47,600 Speaker 4: They believe that Apple could have owed up to one 335 00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,120 Speaker 4: point five billion dollars. 336 00:15:49,160 --> 00:15:51,880 Speaker 2: So this is a steal for them to wrap things 337 00:15:51,920 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 2: up early, to not go through the trial process, and 338 00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:57,280 Speaker 2: to not actually have an even larger judgment against them. 339 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:00,320 Speaker 4: This is what they do, all right. 340 00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,360 Speaker 1: Well, I'm still signing up for well on the last 341 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,640 Speaker 1: leg of our run on this Friday, we are going 342 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 1: to finish up. 343 00:16:06,600 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 3: At the White House. 344 00:16:07,760 --> 00:16:10,920 Speaker 1: Well, Gerald Biden, Yes, doctor Jill Biden.
