Good 0:00:05.720 --> 0:00:09.639 morning everyone, It's Tuesday, April twenty second. Welcome to Morning Run. 0:00:09.720 --> 0:00:12.480 I'm Amy Robox and I'm TJ Holmes. And on this 0:00:12.640 --> 0:00:16.720 Morning Run, commemorations all over the world for Pope Francis, 0:00:16.760 --> 0:00:20.000 and we have just learned this morning when the Pope's 0:00:20.040 --> 0:00:22.920 funeral will take place. As cardinals around the world pack 0:00:23.000 --> 0:00:26.800 their bags for Rome and Conclave preparations. 0:00:26.120 --> 0:00:29.600 Get underway, President Trump continues his public attacks against the 0:00:29.680 --> 0:00:33.920 Chairman of the Federal Reserve, and US docks continue to nosedive. 0:00:34.280 --> 0:00:37.440 Plus Trump comes to the defense of Defense Secretary Pete 0:00:37.479 --> 0:00:40.440 Hegseth despite a report that he's already looking for his 0:00:40.560 --> 0:00:43.800 replacement following a second group chat controversy. 0:00:43.840 --> 0:00:45.879 Also on the Run this morning, you really didn't think 0:00:45.920 --> 0:00:49.000 Harvard was gonna let two point two billion dollars go 0:00:49.120 --> 0:00:52.559 without a fight, did you? They're not. Also, your student 0:00:52.600 --> 0:00:56.080 loan payment is due for the first time in five years, 0:00:56.120 --> 0:00:59.000 and the DOE plans to force people to pay up. 0:00:59.320 --> 0:01:03.240 Plus, Homelands Security Secretary Christy Nomes Pirst apparently wasn't that 0:01:03.400 --> 0:01:06.920 secure even under the watchful eye of Secret Service, costing 0:01:06.959 --> 0:01:09.759 her one thousands and a whole lot more. Plus House 0:01:09.760 --> 0:01:13.039 Republicans have renewed their efforts to prosecute New York mayoral 0:01:13.080 --> 0:01:16.280 candidate and former Governor Andrew Cuomo for statements he made 0:01:16.520 --> 0:01:17.520 five years ago. 0:01:17.680 --> 0:01:19.759 Plus on the Run this morning, NFL Hall of Famer 0:01:19.760 --> 0:01:23.160 and ESPN host Shannon Sharp accused of rape in a 0:01:23.280 --> 0:01:26.680 fifty million dollar lawsuit. Also, a group claims to have 0:01:26.920 --> 0:01:31.160 proof that Scott Peterson is innocent and taking its claims 0:01:31.240 --> 0:01:34.200 to court, and the government is suing Uber. Want to 0:01:34.280 --> 0:01:37.319 know why, Maybe she'd just go check your Uber receipts. 0:01:37.360 --> 0:01:40.080 We'll explain that we certainly will. But we begin our 0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:42.800 run this morning in Rome, where the Vatican has released 0:01:42.840 --> 0:01:45.800 the official cause of death for Pope Francis. The eighty 0:01:45.800 --> 0:01:49.520 eight year old Pontiff died from a stroke and irreversible 0:01:49.600 --> 0:01:52.720 heart failure. The Pope's death certificate noted that the Pope 0:01:52.760 --> 0:01:54.960 fell into a coma in the hours leading up to 0:01:55.000 --> 0:01:56.680 his death on Easter Monday. 0:01:56.840 --> 0:01:59.480 Also, the Vatican has just announced that his funeral will 0:01:59.520 --> 0:02:02.880 be held on Saturday at ten am local time. President 0:02:02.920 --> 0:02:06.040 Trump says he and First Lady Milania Trump will travel 0:02:06.080 --> 0:02:08.560 to Rome for the funeral posting we look forward to 0:02:08.560 --> 0:02:09.000 being there. 0:02:09.240 --> 0:02:12.320 Last night, the Vatican held its first public commemoration of 0:02:12.400 --> 0:02:16.120 Francis with a sunset Rosary prayer inside Saint Peter Square, 0:02:16.400 --> 0:02:19.680 and also in keeping with tradition, Vatican officials locked and 0:02:19.800 --> 0:02:23.320 sealed the doors to Pope Francis's formal residence with red 0:02:23.400 --> 0:02:24.880 ribbon and a wax seal. 0:02:25.040 --> 0:02:26.960 Yeah, this is part of a Catholic ritual. When the 0:02:27.000 --> 0:02:29.880 seat of the papacy is vacant, it marks the end 0:02:29.919 --> 0:02:32.280 of Francis's term as Pope and the beginning of the 0:02:32.360 --> 0:02:36.040 conclave process. During the conclave, the role of Ray Fines 0:02:36.120 --> 0:02:39.679 will be played by Cardinal Kevin Farrell. He's an Irish 0:02:39.680 --> 0:02:43.600 born American cardinal who will serve as the Vatican's administrator 0:02:43.680 --> 0:02:46.959 during the conclave period until a new pope is chosen. If, 0:02:46.960 --> 0:02:49.400 of course you are familiar with that all to popular 0:02:49.480 --> 0:02:52.839 and Oscar nominated film Conclave, Yes, this is the role 0:02:52.919 --> 0:02:55.440 that Ray Finds was playing during that movie. 0:02:55.520 --> 0:02:57.560 Yeah. And by the way, Conclave I saw was just 0:02:57.639 --> 0:03:00.520 put now on Prime video. We were looking for yesterday 0:03:00.840 --> 0:03:03.080 was it had left Peacock but now it is on 0:03:03.160 --> 0:03:05.480 Prime So if you do want to watch Conclave, to 0:03:05.639 --> 0:03:11.360 catch up. It is an interesting, fictitious but somewhat historical 0:03:11.480 --> 0:03:13.400 adaptation of what we may be seeing in the next 0:03:13.480 --> 0:03:16.280 coming days. Some cardinals have already begun to make their 0:03:16.320 --> 0:03:18.440 way to Rome from around the world, and they'll continue 0:03:18.480 --> 0:03:21.079 to do so over the next fifteen days or so 0:03:21.160 --> 0:03:24.800 to officially elect a new Pope. Cardinal Timothy Dolan here 0:03:24.800 --> 0:03:26.800 in New York City is giving a noon mass in 0:03:26.880 --> 0:03:29.880 honor of Francis at Saint Patrick's Cathedral today and then 0:03:29.919 --> 0:03:32.480 he will head to Rome for the funeral and the 0:03:32.480 --> 0:03:33.640 conclave process. 0:03:33.680 --> 0:03:36.600 And tomorrow morning we are expecting the Vatican to move 0:03:36.680 --> 0:03:39.680 the body of Pope Francis in his simple wooden coffin 0:03:39.760 --> 0:03:43.040 to Saint Peter's Basilica so mourners can pay their final respects. 0:03:43.160 --> 0:03:46.200 Pope frances will lie in state until the night before 0:03:46.400 --> 0:03:47.320 the funeral. 0:03:47.480 --> 0:03:49.560 And we would encourage all of you all to check 0:03:49.600 --> 0:03:52.280 out a podcast we did yesterday on the passing of 0:03:52.320 --> 0:03:56.080 Pope Francis. Also interesting. You've seen a lot of the 0:03:56.120 --> 0:03:59.520 world leaders have paid their respects and talked about the 0:03:59.560 --> 0:04:02.120 impact Pope Francis has had on the world and on 0:04:02.160 --> 0:04:05.320 their country specifically. But we also saw a pretty cool display. 0:04:06.760 --> 0:04:08.960 Last night, the Empire State Building was lit up in 0:04:09.040 --> 0:04:12.280 golden white and honor Pope Francis. The Eiffel Tower also 0:04:12.320 --> 0:04:15.720 went dark in honor of the Pontiff. Well next up 0:04:15.760 --> 0:04:18.880 on the run, President Trump publicly attacked the chairman of 0:04:18.920 --> 0:04:23.400 the Federal Reserve once again, and once again, the stock 0:04:23.440 --> 0:04:24.640 markets tumbled. 0:04:24.960 --> 0:04:27.840 Trump called the Fed chair Jerome Powell, a major loser 0:04:27.960 --> 0:04:31.200 for not lowering interest rates, writing on social media, there 0:04:31.279 --> 0:04:35.680 can be a slowing of the economy unless mister too late, 0:04:35.920 --> 0:04:39.320 a major loser, lowers interest rates now. So he gave 0:04:39.360 --> 0:04:42.920 them two derogatory nicknames in one sentence. Impressive, mister Trump. 0:04:43.120 --> 0:04:45.680 The financial experts will tell you that Trump's tariffs have 0:04:45.720 --> 0:04:49.400 already caused market declines, and that steady stream of insults 0:04:49.400 --> 0:04:51.480 against power it's not helping matters now. 0:04:51.520 --> 0:04:53.800 The S ANDP closed down nearly two and a half percent. 0:04:54.120 --> 0:04:58.479 It's lost sixteen percent since February. The Nasdaq also fell 0:04:58.560 --> 0:05:00.279 more than two and a half percent and is down 0:05:00.400 --> 0:05:03.320 eighteen percent since the beginning of the year. The Dow 0:05:03.400 --> 0:05:06.200 also fell a thousand points, and the US dollar dropped 0:05:06.200 --> 0:05:08.440 to its lowest level in three years. 0:05:08.640 --> 0:05:11.440 Last week, President called for Powell to be fired, saying 0:05:11.440 --> 0:05:14.520 his termination could not come fast enough. The President now 0:05:14.600 --> 0:05:17.120 has his people looking into the matter, trying to figure 0:05:17.120 --> 0:05:19.600 out if he has the power to fire him or not. 0:05:19.680 --> 0:05:22.479 There is a long standing Supreme Court ruling from nineteen 0:05:22.520 --> 0:05:26.600 thirty five. It upheld Congress's authority to create independent federal 0:05:26.600 --> 0:05:29.920 agencies like the Federal Reserve, and board members can only 0:05:29.920 --> 0:05:32.440 be terminated before their terms are up for cause. 0:05:32.800 --> 0:05:35.920 Powell has already said publicly he would not step down 0:05:35.920 --> 0:05:38.200 if Trump asked him to, and buy Trump's words, he 0:05:38.720 --> 0:05:41.240 didn't ask him to, but he's telling him he wants 0:05:41.320 --> 0:05:43.440 him to. Trump could always just wait Powell out as 0:05:43.520 --> 0:05:46.640 TERMUS FED share ends a year from now, on May fifteenth, 0:05:46.760 --> 0:05:48.000 twenty twenty six. 0:05:48.279 --> 0:05:50.719 We continue now on this morning run and next up. 0:05:50.839 --> 0:05:54.919 Despite the headlines, Pete Hegseth is doing a great job 0:05:55.000 --> 0:05:58.120 as Secretary of Defense according to his boss. His boss 0:05:58.200 --> 0:06:01.680 being President Trump, who has publicly stood by his seemingly 0:06:01.960 --> 0:06:06.160 constantly underfire Defense secretary. After reports this week that Hegseth 0:06:06.320 --> 0:06:09.359 shared sensitive military information in a group chat that this 0:06:09.560 --> 0:06:11.720 time included his wife and his. 0:06:11.760 --> 0:06:15.039 Brother, Hegseth also went on the defensive, saying this is 0:06:15.080 --> 0:06:18.400 what the media does they take anonymous sources from disgruntled 0:06:18.440 --> 0:06:21.360 former employees and then they try to slash and burn 0:06:21.440 --> 0:06:25.800 people and ruin their reputation. NPR is reporting that, despite 0:06:25.839 --> 0:06:28.719 what Trump told reporters yesterday, the White House is in 0:06:28.760 --> 0:06:32.080 the process of looking for a new Defense Secretary to 0:06:32.200 --> 0:06:33.560 replace hegsas. 0:06:33.240 --> 0:06:36.960 The White House Press Secretary Carolyn Levell denied Levitt excuse me? 0:06:37.000 --> 0:06:39.800 Carolyn Levitt denied MPR's report, posting on ex that the 0:06:39.800 --> 0:06:44.840 President stands strongly behind Hexath. Several Democrats have already called 0:06:44.880 --> 0:06:49.120 for hexas resignation. No surprise, it's been a rough couple 0:06:49.160 --> 0:06:52.360 of days of revolving doors at the Department of Defense. Monday, 0:06:52.400 --> 0:06:55.680 the Pentagon announced hegsas chief of Staff is leaving his 0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:58.800 position and will now handle special projects at the DoD. 0:06:59.040 --> 0:07:01.159 And that all comes out after several top aids to 0:07:01.160 --> 0:07:03.599 Hegseth were fired late last week as part of a 0:07:03.720 --> 0:07:06.839 leak investigation. And yes, it was just last month that 0:07:06.880 --> 0:07:10.320 Hegseth was lambasted after a journalist was accidentally added to 0:07:10.360 --> 0:07:13.880 a group chat with senior White House officials discussing real 0:07:14.080 --> 0:07:16.360 time military strikes in Yemen. 0:07:16.680 --> 0:07:19.480 Next up on the Run Now we continue our ongoing 0:07:19.520 --> 0:07:23.040 and popular series called Hood and Gone ensued Trump now 0:07:23.200 --> 0:07:27.119 today's plaint of Harvard University, the prestigious Ivy League school, 0:07:27.120 --> 0:07:30.640 has filed suit against the Trump administration for what you 0:07:30.760 --> 0:07:34.680 guessed it withholding that billions of dollars in federal funding. 0:07:34.800 --> 0:07:37.160 The White House announced it was freezing two point two 0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:40.200 billion dollars in federal funding to Harvard after the school 0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:44.040 refused to make changes that the administration wanted, including changes 0:07:44.080 --> 0:07:47.600 in admission policies and hiring practice, among other things. Harvard 0:07:47.640 --> 0:07:50.840 claims the administration is unlawfully keeping the money from them 0:07:50.880 --> 0:07:55.160 as leverage to gain control of academic decision making at Harvard. 0:07:55.280 --> 0:07:58.400 President Trump, however, claims he wants to root out anti 0:07:58.400 --> 0:08:01.200 Semitism at elite schools after several with a site of 0:08:01.240 --> 0:08:04.840 protests about the Israel kaza War. In a statement announcing 0:08:04.880 --> 0:08:07.840 the lawsuit, the Harvard president said, and I quote, the 0:08:07.960 --> 0:08:12.800 government has not and cannot identify any rational connection between 0:08:12.880 --> 0:08:16.480 anti semitism concerns and the research that Harvard does. 0:08:17.080 --> 0:08:20.280 All right, next up on our run, listen up, use 0:08:20.400 --> 0:08:23.960 student loanees out there. A major change is just around 0:08:23.960 --> 0:08:26.800 the corner, and it could force millions to start repaying 0:08:26.800 --> 0:08:29.280 their student loans, whether they like it or not. 0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:32.320 Yeah, the Education Department just announced that they will resume 0:08:32.679 --> 0:08:37.080 involuntary collection of federal student loans that are in default. 0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:40.240 What does involuntary means means they're about to start garnishing 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:44.040 some wages and possibly taking any state and federal payments 0:08:44.080 --> 0:08:46.760 you're owed, such as your tax refault. 0:08:46.800 --> 0:08:50.400 An estimated five million of these loans are currently in default. 0:08:50.480 --> 0:08:53.200 But President Trump hit pause on student loan payments during 0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:56.319 his first term, giving people a reprieve during the pandemic. 0:08:56.679 --> 0:09:00.839 President Biden extended that pause and expanded on student debt relief, 0:09:00.880 --> 0:09:05.200 but Supreme Court has ruled his plan is in unconstitutional. 0:09:05.360 --> 0:09:07.720 So this is now actually going to be the first 0:09:07.760 --> 0:09:12.080 time in five years that people with federal student loans 0:09:12.360 --> 0:09:16.000 will have payments due. The Department of Education says they'll 0:09:16.320 --> 0:09:19.880 unpause payments May fifth. That's when they'll start, and people 0:09:19.920 --> 0:09:23.000 will start getting notices in the next couple of weeks. 0:09:23.320 --> 0:09:26.640 Secretary Linda McMahan of the Education Department put it this way, 0:09:26.840 --> 0:09:29.959 Americans will no longer be forced to serve as collateral 0:09:30.160 --> 0:09:35.080 for irresponsible student loan policies. It was a policy, however, 0:09:35.160 --> 0:09:37.680 that was very helpful of people during the pandemic. To 0:09:37.720 --> 0:09:39.920 have those extra dollars they didn't have to worry about 0:09:40.000 --> 0:09:41.600 was great. But you get used to not paying a 0:09:41.640 --> 0:09:43.160 loan for five years and all of a sudden it 0:09:43.200 --> 0:09:44.280 to do that's going to throw you off. 0:09:44.400 --> 0:09:46.600 Yes, certainly, well all right. Next up on the run, 0:09:46.880 --> 0:09:49.280 the woman in charge of our nation's security, who is 0:09:49.320 --> 0:09:52.559 being protected by the Secret Service, had her purse stolen 0:09:52.600 --> 0:09:54.120 out of Washington, d c restaurant. 0:09:54.160 --> 0:09:57.480 This should be impossible to happen. Homeland Security Secretary Christi 0:09:57.520 --> 0:10:00.559 nom acknowledged that the thief got away with her Drynse 0:10:00.600 --> 0:10:04.880 apartment keys, passport, Homeland Security badge, blank checks, and about 0:10:04.920 --> 0:10:07.800 three thousand dollars in cash. Law enforcement says the Secret 0:10:07.840 --> 0:10:11.360 Service reviewed the restaurant's security camera footage and saw a 0:10:11.400 --> 0:10:16.280 white male wearing a medical mask steal her, post her 0:10:16.320 --> 0:10:17.480 bag and leave the restaurant. 0:10:17.520 --> 0:10:20.760 Yeah, it happened at the Capitol Burger restaurant on Easter Sunday. 0:10:21.120 --> 0:10:23.920 The Secret Service has now launched an investigation and is 0:10:24.080 --> 0:10:28.800 monitoring any use of gnomes stolen goods and for whatever reason, 0:10:28.800 --> 0:10:31.440 the Department of Homeland Security felt like they needed to 0:10:31.480 --> 0:10:34.120 explain why she had so much cash in her purse, 0:10:34.240 --> 0:10:37.439 which doesn't require an explanation, but they said her family 0:10:37.480 --> 0:10:39.520 was in town. She was using it to pay for 0:10:39.600 --> 0:10:41.880 the dinner, to buy Easter gifts. So she had all 0:10:41.880 --> 0:10:45.280 of that in her purse, prepared to spend away, and 0:10:45.720 --> 0:10:47.600 instead a thief took it all away. 0:10:47.679 --> 0:10:49.440 That's what they want to explain. Can you explain to 0:10:49.480 --> 0:10:52.679 me how the woman in charge of this nation's security, 0:10:53.800 --> 0:10:56.560 how anybody is allowed to get close enough to her 0:10:56.679 --> 0:11:00.000 to steal her purse with include it her security bage. 0:11:00.160 --> 0:11:01.600 I don't care about the three thousand dollars. I don't 0:11:01.600 --> 0:11:04.520 give a damn. Yeah, I care. How somebody got this 0:11:04.600 --> 0:11:06.760 close to her in a restaurant should be impossible. 0:11:06.800 --> 0:11:09.600 It should be impossible, and especially when you have secret 0:11:09.720 --> 0:11:13.800 Service guarding you, that is disturbing beyond belief. 0:11:13.880 --> 0:11:16.160 I should wait, maybe she left it sitting somewhere accidentally. 0:11:16.480 --> 0:11:22.520 I need to hear those details. Homeland Security is still 0:11:22.559 --> 0:11:25.440 the HHS Secretary's purse, and he doesn't have a purse. 0:11:25.440 --> 0:11:27.520 But you get my point, Yes, I do. Anybody but 0:11:27.559 --> 0:11:29.920 the Homeland Security Secretary. We can tell you on our 0:11:30.000 --> 0:11:32.440 run here. We will stay in Washington where a Congressional 0:11:32.480 --> 0:11:36.320 committee wants former New York Governor Andrew Cuomo prosecuted and 0:11:36.360 --> 0:11:39.040 has asked the Justice Department to do just that. The 0:11:39.080 --> 0:11:43.479 Republican led House Oversight Committee says Cuomo lie to Congress 0:11:43.559 --> 0:11:46.640 when he gave testimony about New York's COVID response. 0:11:46.760 --> 0:11:50.240 The committee chair said Cuomo made criminally false statements about 0:11:50.240 --> 0:11:52.720 how he managed the pandemic in nursing homes and called 0:11:52.760 --> 0:11:55.560 him a man with a history of corruption and deceit 0:11:55.640 --> 0:11:59.480 now caught red handed lying to Congress. But Cuomo's spokesperson 0:11:59.480 --> 0:12:02.880 calls that's statement nothing more than a meritless press release 0:12:02.960 --> 0:12:05.840 that was nonsense last year and even more so now. 0:12:06.040 --> 0:12:08.360 Yeah, you see, this is the second time around. The 0:12:08.400 --> 0:12:11.880 same committee referred Cuomo for prosecution previously, but the last 0:12:11.880 --> 0:12:14.760 time they did it was during the Biden administration and 0:12:14.880 --> 0:12:17.880 nothing ever came of that. So the Republican chair thought, hey, 0:12:18.000 --> 0:12:20.679 I'll give it another go with the Republican president and 0:12:20.800 --> 0:12:22.720 his handpicked attorney general. 0:12:22.800 --> 0:12:25.360 Now, this could complicate things for Cuomo, who is currently 0:12:25.440 --> 0:12:28.160 running for mayor of New York. He resigned as governor 0:12:28.200 --> 0:12:31.160 amid sexual harassment allegations in twenty twenty one, so he 0:12:31.200 --> 0:12:34.240 does have some skeletons in his closet hanging over his head, 0:12:34.280 --> 0:12:36.839 but right now he is the leading candidate in the 0:12:36.880 --> 0:12:39.320 Democratic primary, which will be held in June. We'll see 0:12:39.320 --> 0:12:42.920 if this has any impact on his pulling numbers once you. 0:12:42.920 --> 0:12:46.360 See the matchup that's coming. One is the current mayor 0:12:46.679 --> 0:12:50.280 who just had charges dropped against him for federal corruption. 0:12:50.640 --> 0:12:54.880 Another is the former governor of New York who possibly 0:12:54.960 --> 0:12:58.320 is facing a Department of Justice prosecution. 0:12:57.880 --> 0:13:00.640 And those two will likely go head to head in November. 0:13:00.679 --> 0:13:02.840 We will see how the city of New York feels 0:13:02.840 --> 0:13:03.680 about either man. 0:13:03.760 --> 0:13:05.520 Nah, it's a good town. Stay with us here on 0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:09.720 this Morning Ron. When we come back, a former a 0:13:09.800 --> 0:13:12.440 former NFL tight end who is an NFL Hall of 0:13:12.480 --> 0:13:15.680 Famer and an ESPN host, has just been hit with 0:13:15.800 --> 0:13:21.560 a fifty million dollar lawsuit. Also, Scott Peterson is innocent, 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:26.280 and a group says they can prove it. Stay with us. 0:13:32.480 --> 0:13:35.559 We continue now on this Tuesday Morning Ron with NFL 0:13:35.600 --> 0:13:39.600 Hall of Famer and ESPN host Shannon Sharp. He has 0:13:39.679 --> 0:13:44.280 responded to a fifty million dollars sexual assault lawsuit filed 0:13:44.280 --> 0:13:47.720 against him, calling it a blatant, cynical attempt to shake 0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:49.360 him down for millions of dollars. 0:13:49.440 --> 0:13:52.640 A woman only identified as Jane Doe filed the suit 0:13:52.679 --> 0:13:56.920 in Nevada, claiming Sharp raped her on two occasions, was abusive, 0:13:57.200 --> 0:14:00.000 and even threatened to kill her during what she calls 0:14:00.000 --> 0:14:04.400 a rocky, consensual two year relationship. She claimed she met 0:14:04.440 --> 0:14:06.320 the former all pro tight end at a gym in 0:14:06.360 --> 0:14:09.240 twenty twenty three, when she was nineteen and he was 0:14:09.280 --> 0:14:10.040 fifty four. Now. 0:14:10.080 --> 0:14:12.640 She said they started a relationship in which he became 0:14:12.720 --> 0:14:15.880 more controlling and violent over time. This is all according 0:14:15.920 --> 0:14:19.360 to the lawsuit. Sharp called it full of lies, distortions, 0:14:19.440 --> 0:14:23.680 and misrepresentations, vow to fight the allegations vigorously in court. 0:14:24.080 --> 0:14:27.360 Sharp is host of the popular Chayshay Club podcast and 0:14:27.360 --> 0:14:29.720 there is a regular on ESPN's First Take. 0:14:29.800 --> 0:14:29.920 Now. 0:14:29.960 --> 0:14:32.520 The Atlantic is reporting that he will in fact be 0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:36.680 in his regular spot today on the air on ESPN's 0:14:36.760 --> 0:14:39.760 First Take, but they say he is not expected to 0:14:39.800 --> 0:14:42.320 address the allegations at all, So he's going to go 0:14:42.360 --> 0:14:43.680 business as usual. 0:14:43.480 --> 0:14:46.680 All right. Sharp won three Super Bowls during his playing days, 0:14:46.680 --> 0:14:49.600 two with Denver, one with Baltimore. When he retired, he 0:14:49.680 --> 0:14:52.880 was the all time leader in catches, yards and touchdowns 0:14:52.880 --> 0:14:55.800 for tight ends. And by the way, this is of 0:14:55.960 --> 0:14:59.120 note the Jane Doe represented in the lawsuit by the 0:14:59.160 --> 0:15:02.840 same Texas lawyer, Tony Busby. You should know his name 0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:04.880 by now because he's the one who's brought all of 0:15:04.920 --> 0:15:08.160 those civil cases against Sean Diddy Combs. He also brought 0:15:08.160 --> 0:15:11.320 it against Jay Z correct So yeah, that's gone now. 0:15:11.360 --> 0:15:14.880 But he certainly has been litigious over the past couple 0:15:14.920 --> 0:15:17.400 of months, years, perhaps even. 0:15:17.320 --> 0:15:19.800 And people hear that name and they are quickly dismissive 0:15:19.800 --> 0:15:21.320 in some of these suits. What's going to come over them? 0:15:21.360 --> 0:15:24.960 But he also represented the massage therapists of twenty plus 0:15:24.960 --> 0:15:27.080 of them who are assumed the Cleveland quarterback to Shan 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:31.800 Watson and got settlements in that case. So people to 0:15:31.880 --> 0:15:33.400 kind of roll their eyes at this point when they 0:15:33.400 --> 0:15:35.840 see his name. But still he's gotten some results. 0:15:35.880 --> 0:15:40.520 He's become the Gloria Allred of women who are fighting 0:15:40.560 --> 0:15:43.320 back against famous men. Apparently. 0:15:43.400 --> 0:15:45.840 Wonder how Gloria Hills about you making that? 0:15:46.240 --> 0:15:49.080 Well, I mean she's been I mean she has been 0:15:49.200 --> 0:15:50.880 that lawyer for so many women. 0:15:52.360 --> 0:15:54.880 Oh, we continue here on this Tuesday morning run now 0:15:54.920 --> 0:15:58.680 with the La Innocence Project. It has asked a court 0:15:58.720 --> 0:16:02.560 to overturn Scott Peterson's murder conviction, saying he is innocent 0:16:02.600 --> 0:16:05.080 of killing his wife and their unborn child, and they 0:16:05.120 --> 0:16:06.520 claim they can prove it. 0:16:06.640 --> 0:16:09.200 Yeah. The group filed a four hundred page petition with 0:16:09.280 --> 0:16:12.040 the California Court of Appeals after it conducted a year 0:16:12.120 --> 0:16:15.760 long investigation. They say Peterson was denied his right to 0:16:15.840 --> 0:16:18.480 due process and a fair trial. But they also claim 0:16:18.520 --> 0:16:23.000 to have evidence of Peterson's innocence, in particular scientific evidence 0:16:23.040 --> 0:16:25.840 that shows the date of death of Peterson's unborn child 0:16:25.960 --> 0:16:28.160 was later than prosecutor's claim. 0:16:28.400 --> 0:16:31.520 Also Scott Peterson's lawyer's claim to have an expert in 0:16:31.720 --> 0:16:35.480 water movement that can prove that Lacy Peterson's body was 0:16:35.640 --> 0:16:39.760 not dumped where prosecutors say it was. Peterson, you might remember, 0:16:40.000 --> 0:16:42.760 was convicted of killing his wife, Lacey, and their unborn child. 0:16:43.360 --> 0:16:45.360 That conviction was in two thousand and four. This was 0:16:45.360 --> 0:16:47.400 a case, of course, that captivated the country. 0:16:47.440 --> 0:16:49.880 It certainly did. Lacey was just twenty seven years old. 0:16:49.920 --> 0:16:52.800 She was eight months pregnant when she disappeared on Christmas 0:16:52.840 --> 0:16:55.160 Eve of two thousand and two. Her body was then 0:16:55.200 --> 0:16:58.520 found in the San Francisco Bay the following spring. The 0:16:58.680 --> 0:17:02.240 la Innocence Project says every aspect of the prosecution's theory 0:17:02.480 --> 0:17:04.480 as to how the crimes in this case were committed 0:17:04.680 --> 0:17:06.359 has now shown to be false. 0:17:06.520 --> 0:17:09.200 Peterson, who is now fifty two years old, has always 0:17:09.280 --> 0:17:12.560 maintained his innocence and repeated that in this latest filing, 0:17:12.560 --> 0:17:16.200 writing I did not and could never harm or kill 0:17:16.320 --> 0:17:19.359 my family. He was previously denied a new trial in 0:17:19.359 --> 0:17:22.960 twenty twenty two. However, his death sentence was overturned in 0:17:22.960 --> 0:17:26.240 twenty twenty so he's now serving life without parole. A 0:17:26.320 --> 0:17:28.840 lot of legal experts who have looked at this filing 0:17:29.080 --> 0:17:31.879 were impressed by its detail and the work that had 0:17:31.920 --> 0:17:35.000 been done. The Innocence Project certainly has a record of 0:17:35.160 --> 0:17:38.480 actually being successful in getting people literally off death row 0:17:38.880 --> 0:17:40.960 in some cases. But now we have to wait see 0:17:40.960 --> 0:17:44.080 what this court does, if it does anything, So the 0:17:44.080 --> 0:17:46.560 Innocence Projects say they'll wait for that to determine what 0:17:46.640 --> 0:17:48.280 their next moves can and should be. 0:17:48.440 --> 0:17:50.520 Yeah, it is. It's fascinating, and I know a lot 0:17:50.560 --> 0:17:52.640 of people are waiting to see what happens in that 0:17:52.760 --> 0:17:55.879 case for the final leg of our run today, have 0:17:56.040 --> 0:17:59.720 you checked your latest uber receipts. Perhaps you should once 0:17:59.760 --> 0:18:02.720 you hear why the Federal Trade Commission is suing the 0:18:02.840 --> 0:18:03.560 ride share app. 0:18:03.920 --> 0:18:07.480 FTC claims Uber has been charging you, the customer for 0:18:07.640 --> 0:18:11.480 its Uber one service without their consent and has made 0:18:11.480 --> 0:18:14.560 it too difficult for people to cancel the service. I 0:18:14.600 --> 0:18:17.360 didn't know what this was. The Uber one subscription. It's 0:18:17.400 --> 0:18:20.200 a monthly fee that gives members free delivery and discounts 0:18:20.240 --> 0:18:20.879 on rise ye. 0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:23.119 I didn't know what this one was either. But the 0:18:23.200 --> 0:18:26.080 FTC says that in addition to enrolling people in the 0:18:26.160 --> 0:18:30.440 plan without their consent, Uber has also charged customers before 0:18:30.480 --> 0:18:33.840 the billing date, automatically charging them before that free trial 0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:36.600 period ended. The FDC goes on to say that when 0:18:36.640 --> 0:18:39.359 customers do try to cancel, this is crazy. They got 0:18:39.480 --> 0:18:42.320 very specific here in the lawsuit. Some users, they say, 0:18:42.320 --> 0:18:45.080 were forced to click on as many as twenty three 0:18:45.240 --> 0:18:49.840 screens and take thirty two actions before they were able 0:18:49.880 --> 0:18:50.440 to cancel. 0:18:50.680 --> 0:18:52.320 Well, if they're keeping over it, I have a bunch 0:18:52.320 --> 0:18:54.840 of people I would like for them to sue. Uber 0:18:54.880 --> 0:18:58.760 has pushed back lawyers, saying that the FTC rushed its 0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:03.440 investigative process and it's complaining against Uber is based on misunderstandings. 0:19:03.480 --> 0:19:06.320 The company maintains that it does not sign up or 0:19:06.440 --> 0:19:08.840 charge people without their consent, and that customers can now 0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:12.800 cancel on the app within twenty seconds or less. I 0:19:12.840 --> 0:19:14.640 don't know. I've just picked up my phone. I don't 0:19:14.760 --> 0:19:16.880 know if I'm signed up or not. I don't even 0:19:16.920 --> 0:19:17.800 know how to check. 0:19:17.960 --> 0:19:20.119 I think you have to go into these settings of 0:19:20.160 --> 0:19:22.560 your Apple phone to see what your subscriptions are. But 0:19:22.720 --> 0:19:25.879 it is a little unnerving, and no, there were so 0:19:25.920 --> 0:19:28.280 many reports from folks who said that, and you would 0:19:28.320 --> 0:19:31.040 I saw you yesterday trying to cancel something, and I 0:19:31.119 --> 0:19:33.840 thought of you when I was reading the frustration by 0:19:33.880 --> 0:19:36.800 so many customers saying that when they would get a 0:19:37.119 --> 0:19:39.240 notice from Uber saying you need if you want to cancel, 0:19:39.359 --> 0:19:41.080 you'll have to notify us, then there was no way 0:19:41.119 --> 0:19:42.879 to notify them. They couldn't find a number. When they 0:19:42.880 --> 0:19:44.879 found a number, the number referred them to go on 0:19:44.920 --> 0:19:47.480 to the app, and it was this vicious round robin 0:19:47.520 --> 0:19:52.680 where you literally could not cancel the subscription. Sound familiar, babe. 0:19:52.480 --> 0:19:54.880 I'm not going to call out this home security company 0:19:55.160 --> 0:19:58.040 that has been charging me since last summer for a 0:19:58.119 --> 0:20:02.280 home I no longer own. I tried to cancel last summer. 0:20:03.359 --> 0:20:05.440 They said it was done. I tried to cancel again 0:20:05.480 --> 0:20:07.159 a month ago, they said it was done, and I 0:20:07.200 --> 0:20:10.359 was on the phone again yesterday trying to cancel. I 0:20:10.359 --> 0:20:12.359 will update you in a month. Yes, I'll be trying 0:20:12.359 --> 0:20:13.200 to cancel once again. 0:20:13.320 --> 0:20:15.480 It's about an hour long phone call each time, where 0:20:15.520 --> 0:20:19.040 you're transferred to at least three people, but sometimes even more, 0:20:19.200 --> 0:20:20.080 you know FTC. 0:20:20.240 --> 0:20:22.639
