00:02:36.040
He's also here with us, along with Matt Murphy, who will join me in just a minute.
00:02:40.620
Since President Trump was sworn in, his administration has made enormous progress at a breakneck pace.
00:02:46.240
But don't forget, while they're moving mountains for the good of the nation,
00:02:49.180
you've got your own personal savings to worry about.
00:02:51.740
And one of the best ways to look after your savings is through diversification,
00:02:55.760
particularly with gold, like from Birch Gold Group.
00:02:59.100
In the past 12 months, the value of gold has increased by 40%.
00:03:06.220
Central banks continue to bolster demand for gold by buying in record quantities.
00:03:13.080
and Birch Gold makes owning physical gold extremely easy.
00:03:16.840
Easily convert an existing IRA or 401k into a tax-sheltered IRA in physical gold,
00:03:27.900
and Birch Gold will send you a free info kit on gold.
00:03:30.900
There's no obligation, just useful information.
00:03:34.220
With an A-plus rating from the Better Business Bureau
00:03:48.300
We've been watching the families file in all morning,
00:03:50.440
and you can only imagine what a heavy day this is
00:03:54.380
for the poor family members who now already know
00:03:59.600
but probably feel, Howard, like they owe it to their loved ones
00:04:10.380
This is their last public chance to share how they're feeling,
00:04:15.480
to tell the world how they feel about even this plea agreement,
00:04:22.200
I know I've talked with one of the family members,
00:04:24.240
and they've put a lot of time and a lot of energy
00:04:28.340
Yes, and one of the surprises I had this morning,
00:04:34.200
is that Steve Gonsalves is there, Kaylee's dad,
00:04:38.240
and he had suggested earlier on he was not going to go.
00:04:42.580
And I don't know whether he's planning on speaking.
00:04:44.340
I think that his other daughter is going to speak,
00:04:47.440
but he did show up today, and he's sort of, in a way,
00:04:50.520
been the most visible family member on this thing from the start.
00:04:53.460
Well, I know his family contacted me about a week ago,
00:04:59.120
and we've had some disagreements over the course of this whole thing,
00:05:05.100
and they're trying to find out, and this is extremely poignant,
00:05:08.620
is that they're asking, how many times was Kaylee stabbed?
00:05:13.760
They have a number 54, and they want to say something that's accurate,
00:05:18.260
and they can't get any information from the coroner.
00:05:23.500
and that's what this settlement deal will keep them in this predicament.
00:05:30.080
not even to basic questions as to how many times was my daughter stabbed.
00:05:49.660
I mean, at one point, Steve Gonsalves said early on,
00:06:00.580
This poor man, Phil, he and the other family member,
00:06:03.220
we understand Ethan Chapin's parents will not be there.
00:06:08.540
The mother is like the most pulled-together person
00:06:21.180
and she's very, I mean, she's remarkably composed.
00:06:24.260
My hat goes off to her, but she was basically saying,
00:06:28.660
I think the rest of the family members will be there and will speak.
00:06:31.100
And just what a huge responsibility they must feel, right?
00:06:38.100
and this prosecutor has failed to speak for them.
00:06:42.200
You know, Megan, I've been very critical of how,
00:06:47.740
not necessarily how the prosecution has handled
00:06:49.740
their case presentation or how they've handled court,
00:06:59.320
You know, the issue of how many times someone was stabbed,
00:07:03.540
I mean, that should have been information provided
00:07:11.720
to get it right now, here right on the eve of sentencing.
00:07:17.060
as much as they possibly could with them previously,
00:07:21.060
and certainly now that the gag order has been lifted.
00:07:34.700
They're starting, so we don't want to miss that.
00:07:56.220
This is the time set for sentencing in this case.
00:08:04.020
The defendant previously entered a plea of guilty
00:08:29.480
The parties waived a pre-sentence investigation.
00:08:35.280
neither party submitted a sentencing memorandum
00:08:53.560
why a sentence should not be imposed at this time?
00:09:39.480
I indicated through the trial court administrator
03:13:04.500
maybe a little bit more satisfactory fashion the
03:14:06.520
they don't want the the public to find out about
03:14:08.920
I think that there was some hesitancy about the
03:14:18.720
forward with the trial I don't know if it's they
03:14:25.580
certainly seemed to jump on Coburger's Coburger's
03:14:29.700
really the one that made the offer say look I'll plead
03:14:31.720
guilty if you take death off the table and it's
03:14:38.660
terms and so yeah they jump at that pretty quickly
03:14:48.580
the prosecutor accepted that you're so right go
03:14:58.840
talk about we will move on the door is closed the
03:15:02.720
judge said that well we all heard Dylan Morton's
03:15:05.960
statements no one is moving on this is going to
03:15:11.620
happen is the possibility of getting answers to
03:15:14.800
specific questions well that's going to be a lot
03:15:18.300
harder now I think the families and the citizens of
03:15:23.300
Idaho and the public are have been disserved by what was
03:15:29.440
done in the courtroom today now was the time you know it's
03:15:33.360
creepy in the in the movie that I keep referencing one night
03:15:36.140
in Idaho they have a very interesting segment with the
03:15:39.080
women who ran one of these public chat groups about the
03:15:42.320
murders these two women run multiple true crime blogs and
03:15:46.400
they added this one after the murders and this was the forum
03:15:49.720
into which Papa Roger appeared posting his theories about
03:15:53.340
the crime it's clearly Brian Kohlberger and they walk you
03:15:56.540
through his posts which really kind of gave up the game first
03:15:59.880
of all the photo like the sort of icon that's used to
03:16:03.660
represent Papa Roger looks just like Brian Kohlberger I mean
03:16:06.420
identical and second of all his posts know way more than any
03:16:11.080
civilian who didn't commit this crime should have known long
03:16:14.420
prior to the release of that police affidavit which had the
03:16:16.820
details of the crime I mean he was already speculation speculating
03:16:19.500
about he knew it was a knife he he speculated that they found the
03:16:23.420
knife sheath he asked some of those same weird questions that he
03:16:26.500
asked in that questionnaire he wanted to know what do you think
03:16:29.540
was in the mind of the killer when he walked into the room they
03:16:31.900
were like it was more than I'd ever heard from the Papa Roger
03:16:34.680
account as these two women who ran it went through his
03:16:38.500
questioning and then as soon as Brian Kohlberger was arrested dried
03:16:42.480
up Papa Roger never posted again which tells me he wants attention he
03:16:49.600
loves reveling in the crime Matt he seems to have been getting off on
03:16:55.620
it because at that point he was getting away with the crime so why
03:16:59.500
would a killer like this would as of then gotten away with it be so
03:17:03.900
provocative to be making these posts in a public online crime forum
03:17:08.680
well we've that goes back to Jack the Ripper right Megan it's like
03:17:14.600
there was he would that person wrote to the police and they they think
03:17:20.840
that those letters came from the actual killer we saw that in the
03:17:23.720
Zodiac killer too that's that speaks to the narcissism the arrogance and
03:17:28.240
the grandiosity of the great American psychopath or even you know outside of
03:17:33.320
America it's the it's the mindset of these guys and oh it's like I'm
03:17:37.480
thinking of the thumbs up photo after the murders Matt you know as you say the
03:17:40.460
grandiosity it's it's his selfie with the thumbs up like yeah he's
03:17:44.180
celebrating himself keep going or yeah it looks like a vampire in that too and
03:17:49.120
and and look Megan that photo there there's a very common thing and and
03:17:53.960
it's and it comes from a good place I think with most people but when they're
03:17:57.440
considering death versus life in prison one of the things you hear very
03:18:00.840
commonly is people will go well the worst thing I can imagine is if I was in
03:18:05.060
a cell and I had to think about what I did every single day that's imposing
03:18:09.420
humanity onto the mind of the psychopath they don't think that way it's a
03:18:14.860
mistake it comes it it comes from it's almost like psychological projection we
03:18:20.180
think about ourselves and we think about how we have the capacity for guilt they
03:18:24.580
don't think that way and the arrogance of posting stuff to an online chat room I
03:18:29.000
mean it's just it's a modern version of the same thing and they these guys I I
03:18:35.420
hate to say it but they don't they just don't experience remorse like other
03:18:39.380
people and that's why I loved I really love the comments of Olivia today because
03:18:45.660
that kind of stuff is biting that kind of stuff Matt that was the other thing she
03:18:49.860
got to she said so Jack the Ripper was never caught but Brian Kohlberger was
03:18:54.520
caught and she got on him like how are you so stupid like mockingly like did you
03:19:01.740
really think you're gonna be able to cover up your Amazon purchase of the
03:19:05.160
knife by using a gift card it was so diminishing look I love that I love that
03:19:12.700
I loved her you're basic you're nothing you're she went she read everything that
03:19:18.120
she hid her hands on written by Brian Kohlberger that is a very intelligent woman
03:19:22.280
who wanted she wanted to sting him and she did I guarantee that stuff hurt today okay
03:19:28.900
now speaking of stinging there speaking my friend Ashley Banfield she had on a
03:19:36.460
guy his name is Larry Levine and he's a former federal inmate and prison
03:19:41.200
consultant and he's literally written the book that people read when they get
03:19:44.740
sentenced to prison unlike how to deal with prison so she had him on not long
03:19:49.340
ago and asked him some questions about what what's gonna happen now to Brian
03:19:53.640
Kohlberger this is after understanding he was pleading guilty and listen here to
03:19:57.480
Sat 16 remember that these people in there none of them well I shouldn't say
03:20:02.320
none of them a great deal of them are not mentally stable anyway so that's highly
03:20:08.060
possible maybe somebody will shove him or something that is part of jailhouse
03:20:12.880
justice I've seen people get stuck before I've been in three different prison
03:20:17.040
riots so I've seen all this shit but I predict within a year or less that he's
03:20:24.180
either going to be dead or he's going to be physically injured in some way then
03:20:28.760
they'll transport him take him to a real hospital and they'll let him stay there
03:20:33.560
and get well and all this bullshit finally they'll move him back over to the prison
03:20:38.700
back to Boise and he'll be in protective custody for the rest of his life because
03:20:45.440
they won't be able to put him in general population and Matt you've been saying he's
03:20:51.380
going to go to special custody right for right away do you do we know that
03:20:54.780
I guarantee they're gonna they're gonna put him in it's called PC or they're gonna
03:21:00.020
make him a total step or a total separation that's I guarantee he's he's been in
03:21:04.680
that in that status almost certainly the entire time since his arrest because of
03:21:08.900
the notoriety of the case it'll only increase today but you know what a sad
03:21:14.860
statement of the American system of justice when we're all here and we are
03:21:19.960
hoping that not not that we're hoping for it but that people are calling for
03:21:25.120
prisoners like we need dirtbag inmates to to achieve justice in a case like this
03:21:30.720
it's just it speaks to that unsatisfied feeling you were talking about earlier I
03:21:34.680
think that a lot of people across America are cheering for dirtbag prisoners to
03:21:39.740
carry out what the American justice system couldn't and back to Philip's
03:21:43.940
point you know the the idea that the DA kind of blanked on this that he he
03:21:50.300
accepted Koberger's terms and I just don't see any other way of looking at it
03:21:55.500
because it sounds like that is exactly what happened go ahead let me just
03:21:59.560
disagree a little bit I think the prison system has a responsibility to protect
03:22:04.880
him I I think that that should be enforced and it would be it would be an
03:22:09.940
American tragedy if you were killed in prison I think that's not the way
03:22:12.880
America works Howard amazing no and I don't disagree it's my dear liberal friend
03:22:17.360
I'm not I'm not calling for it well I certainly wouldn't be crying any tears I
03:22:21.580
would not cry one tear to hear I actually would like to see him suffer for a
03:22:25.460
little while before they take care of him but I don't know in this matter I
03:22:28.640
feel I feel like those prisoners those fellow prisoners to him are our allies I'm
03:22:33.500
willing to look the other way I just he shouldn't continue breathing our air I
03:22:36.820
don't really care about the explanation at this point Phil I want him gone I
03:22:40.260
feel like the state fell down on the job if prison justice has to do it
03:22:43.680
nobody cried when you know Jeffrey Dahmer was killed in prison I mean you know
03:22:50.260
things like that but the the the state does have a legal obligation to at least do
03:22:57.020
their best to protect those in their custody such as prisoners they don't always do
03:23:02.960
such a good job at it and you know these letting men in women's prisons yeah well
03:23:08.140
you never know what's going to happen but the thing that about his being in
03:23:12.280
custody for life is look over time whether it's a year or two years three years from
03:23:18.160
now over time the the guard will let will get let down he's going to become more in
03:23:24.680
the rearview mirror and not so much of you know today's prisoner celebrity kind of
03:23:29.460
thing and so over time he's going to be exposed to many different opportunities
03:23:34.200
for things to happen either at the hands of other third parties or at the hands of
03:23:38.680
himself and you just you just never know he's not going to be well liked by other
03:23:45.700
prisoners he's going to be in that category of inmates that really do need to be
03:23:50.080
looking over their shoulder for their own safety and he better hope for his sake that
03:23:54.340
he is in protective custody and he better hope that it's sufficient protective custody
03:23:59.520
and that there's no gaps in it because he's going to be universally hated by the rank and
03:24:04.880
file inmate people that are in there for you know let's just maybe theft offenses
03:24:09.520
property crimes not necessarily you know limited to just violent prisoners he's going to be exposed
03:24:18.100
potentially to all different manner of people that are just in there for short sentences and some
03:24:23.620
are in there for life and some people in prison have nothing to lose either and so he's got a lot
03:24:29.780
of things that he needs to be concerned about it's a long way from that selfie that we saw where
03:24:35.940
it's just disgusting to me because it's right after apparently the murders it looks like he's
03:24:40.740
standing in front of a shower maybe he's just cleaned himself up and he's giving this thumbs up
03:24:45.380
like hey i'm very proud of myself i'm proud of of that i just achieved my mission i think he was
03:24:51.560
trying to duplicate um you know maybe a jeff uh ted bundy or uh some other serial killer and he's very
03:24:59.080
proud of himself in that picture right there but uh he he's got a a different road in front of him
03:25:06.020
moving forward megan he's got a lot to be concerned about here's a little bit more from this larry levine
03:25:10.800
who's got some interesting takes on it all right here's here is one sought 19
03:25:18.400
i remember something you once told me uh that almost everybody cries
03:25:25.040
they do because the whole realization has hit them people lay awake and they can't sleep and
03:25:33.200
every little noise and the pipes in the wall everything freaks them out and then you know this
03:25:41.200
is an old prison in uh idaho maybe there's rats in the walls maybe he'll get a little pet or something
03:25:48.320
then he's gonna hear the other inmates are gonna be assholes banging on the wall they will they're
03:25:54.080
gonna bang on the wall they're gonna fuck with him and they're tell they're gonna tell him they're
03:25:57.920
gonna kill him it doesn't matter how tough you are and he's got no hope that's what a lot of people
03:26:05.840
they live to see their families they know they're all getting out so a person serving a life sentence
03:26:12.080
their first night in there it just completely fucks with their head you know maybe he'll try to kill
03:26:18.560
himself i'm starting to feel better i don't know howard um he he wasn't he already asking when he got
03:26:26.080
arrested for like vegan vegan menu and like the proper cooking utensils that hadn't touched meat
03:26:32.240
it was kind of crazy when he first got arrested memory serves yes and he was also asking if he
03:26:36.240
could have a coffee date with the officer who arrested him i mean he was sort of cut off from
03:26:41.040
reality he thinks he thought this was all somehow going to work out uh yeah and he's about to learn
03:26:48.560
the hard way will he be able to have people interview him in prison we'll actually suppose katherine
03:26:54.240
ramson wanted to visit him would she be allowed i'm not sure that's even allowed in maximum custody
03:27:01.520
well here here's what um brian enton of news nation tweeted out he he posted coleberger will likely have
03:27:07.440
his own tablet in prison like like an ipad with music email and movies in his prison cell also he can buy
03:27:17.440
his own tv to keep in his cell this is why people favor the death penalty because we don't want to see
03:27:24.000
them phil sitting there watching probably one night in idaho reliving it for good time's sake in his case
03:27:33.520
as opposed to standing in front of the firing squad yeah he's going to be re-watching all his uh
03:27:39.520
court appearances and and reliving his glory days but look here's a question that that i've got maybe for
03:27:45.600
the rest of you the megan and the rest of the panel and for those watching is there a possibility
03:27:51.920
now that president trump has weighed in on this case that maybe the federal government brings some
03:27:56.160
charges because you know it's it's possible there's concurrent jurisdiction there's no such
03:28:01.120
thing as double jeopardy um vis-a-vis the federal and the state system and if the justice department
03:28:07.040
were to try to pick up this case the federal death penalty could potentially be on the table and he
03:28:12.400
could have a whole new set of problems to be dealing with so look this today this sentencing
03:28:18.960
hearing is over this idaho case is over but this saga is not over and i just wonder uh if there's not
03:28:27.040
going to be some uh just say thought given at the federal level to bring in some kind of federal charges
03:28:33.440
because in the federal system the death penalty is it's real it applies and the justice department knows
03:28:39.760
how to use it here here was the president's tweet just i think two days ago colbert brian coleberger
03:28:45.280
who was responsible in idaho for the deaths of four wonderful young souls has made a plea bargain deal
03:28:49.760
in order to avoid the death penalty these were vicious murders with so many questions left in
03:28:54.320
unanswered while life imprisonment is tough it's certainly better than receiving the death penalty
03:28:59.200
but before sentencing i hope the judge makes coleberger at a minimum explain why he did
03:29:04.960
these horrible murders there are no explanations there is no nothing people were shocked that he
03:29:10.000
was able to plea bargain but the judge should make him explain what happened thank you for your
03:29:14.480
attention to this matter the judge pointing out today he didn't have that ability but matt you
03:29:18.960
pointed out last time we were together the da did i'll give you the floor in one second i want to
03:29:24.000
say this my information is that thanks to doge the doj right now is severely undermanned um you can it
03:29:31.200
doge is not like usa id where you cancel the grant and you cancel the person overseeing it and you're
03:29:36.400
fine when you fire something like 240 lawyers from doj the cases they were on do not go away they now get
03:29:44.160
dumped on other lawyers who are at doj so my info over there is that a lot of lawyers are really stretched
03:29:50.640
thin they need to hire good lawyers over there hello my friends on screen left you do phil i know you're
03:29:57.840
busy with the new mk media show but you should do it you too matt you you recently left the
03:30:02.320
prosecutor's office anyway i don't think they have the manpower to go after a case that's already
03:30:07.600
wrapped up but your thoughts on it matt well they they could they certainly could we're talking about
03:30:13.920
the resource of the federal government the problem is would they and then what effect would that
03:30:18.080
ultimately have and philip's right they they i i don't know if it's called dual jurisdiction i don't
03:30:24.080
know if there is a if there necessarily is a federal um way into this uh it wasn't on a military base i
03:30:31.040
don't know if there'd be any federal jurisdiction because there's a college campus i don't know if
03:30:34.560
they would necessarily have jurisdiction but the problem there megan um is we just saw uh the the
03:30:40.800
midnight pardons and commutations by joe biden were i think they they uh commuted uh 37 of 42 federal
03:30:49.520
death penalty cases i think was the was the number um they the vast majority on his way out the door
03:30:56.400
of federal death penalty sentences were commuted to life in prison so even if we did get one federally
03:31:03.120
you know i mean megan you cover this you cover national politics uh you know that's a 40 years is
03:31:09.280
a long time for there to be a president as we almost saw last time that's hostile to the death penalty
03:31:14.800
hostile to life without parole who would likely commute that long before it was carried out um
03:31:20.320
i'd like to correct your statement the auto pen was hostile to the death penalty
03:31:24.640
and the auto pen decided to get rid of it in many cases whoever was turning it on right i want to
03:31:30.480
play the following because we did not on amazon he went on amazon and to to make purchases and so i
03:31:36.560
think there's a there could be a federal hook here uh and he left the state of idaho and further it
03:31:42.080
so yeah he crossed state lines desires to to cover i think you're looking at it in a too legalistic way
03:31:47.680
i think if the president believes a great number of the american people still want answers
03:31:54.400
i think he will somehow move things so that there will be things will move forward in the courts
03:31:59.920
i i think you know philip philip just hit the nail on the head sorry i didn't mean to step on you
03:32:04.160
howard uh he philip's absolutely right he crossed state lines that's the hook they could do it if they
03:32:08.880
want that does give the feds jurisdiction if they wanted to pursue death um i don't know how the
03:32:15.600
families would feel about going through that entire process but they would be walking with the backstop
03:32:19.600
it's a very interesting idea wow okay so that we possibly we've plowed new ground here i wanted to
03:32:27.120
play this just because um that we we listened to this whole thing together and we heard from maddie's
03:32:31.760
family we heard from kaylee's family we heard from zanna's family but we heard nothing from ethan
03:32:36.080
chapin's family and there was a reason for that his parents did cooperate with the one night in
03:32:41.040
idaho documentary his mother who i mentioned earlier stacy an incredible woman i mean i don't
03:32:46.480
i've never met her but boy i was very impressed by her and here's what she said in episode three of
03:32:51.440
that four episode series sat 11 sitting in a courtroom this doesn't feel right why would i go sit in a
03:32:59.360
courtroom with that person have you attended any of the hearings no no i will not we won't we won't
03:33:06.080
attend any of the hearings what's the purpose definitely not the trial no no i don't have a
03:33:12.800
need to go look him in the eyes or i don't it is what it is we cannot change the outcome on this thing
03:33:22.640
we cannot bring it back she's she's certainly right about that she's got a very strong head
03:33:30.080
on her shoulders maddie's mom karen is a is a real tearjerker in this series because she looks
03:33:37.120
just like her daughter first of all and second of all she she talks about how she raised maddie and how
03:33:44.720
you know when maddie cried in the crib she went and got her like she she was always like sort of the
03:33:50.480
and i mean this sweetly like the sucker of a mom like i i can't take it i can't take her upset you
03:33:55.520
know life's too short i need to help her with her distress and by all accounts maddie turned out
03:34:00.160
amazingly and turned into just an absolutely wonderful young woman and so you can see this
03:34:05.600
mother's just acute pain talking about getting the news and dealing with the news and here's just a bit
03:34:14.960
of her talking about that yellow sweatshirt that's in that photo of the six of them the very photo
03:34:22.080
that the sentencing proceeding today ended on and and the photo we've come to know so well that really
03:34:28.560
encapsulates their friendship and the love and the vibrance and here's maddie's mom karen talking
03:34:34.080
about it suck 12. we didn't honestly get a lot back just to be you didn't you didn't want it back or you
03:34:42.960
just wasn't able to come back so the stuff that was able to come back i went through and like oh some
03:34:50.160
of this is silly some of this is very sentimental like i still have the yellow sweater that she was
03:34:54.720
wearing that day the sleeves are still rolled up
03:35:03.760
so i found this sweatshirt when we went down it was the first family weekend
03:35:08.400
and maddie really wanted this sweatshirt and it wasn't her size we couldn't find it
03:35:14.640
and i found it like a total different place and when i found it i was like scott look we found the
03:35:20.160
sweater and then i'm on video with her and she's cutting it i'm like we were on facetime i'm like
03:35:31.280
what are you doing she's like this is how everything is worn mom i'm like okay i gotta get used to this
03:35:37.840
i gotta let it be but yes super glad we got that back oh my god you guys you look at it it's a there's
03:35:48.880
this sweatshirt with no girl in it and no girl will ever be in it named kaylee gonsalves because
03:35:54.640
of what that monster did those moments really bring it back to what this case is all about
03:36:00.320
those four wonderful lives lost for no reason i i don't know my own take up away on this story and
03:36:09.760
