I guess he was saying that this meteor was a piece from the Asteroid which would be having a close encounter with Earth today. This is not yet confirmed though. Could be just a meteorite.
For another, from the lighting, time of day, and videos showing the rising Sun, it looks like this was moving mostly east-to-west. I may be off, but that’s how it looks. DA14 is approaching Earth from the south, so any fragment of that rock would also appear to move south-to-north.
So again, I think this is unrelated to 2012 DA14. But wow, what a huge coincidence!
