1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:02,040
Speaker 1: I am six forty.

Speaker 3: on Israel versus Hamas a few developments.

12
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:31,880
Speaker 1: There to go through today.

13
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 3: But we begin with one of the big stories from yesterday,

14
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 3: and that is the Alaska Airlines pilot who has now

15
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,760
Speaker 3: been charged with eighty three counts of attempted murder. And again,

16
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:44,720
Speaker 3: if you don't know this story, it has been it

17
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:47,519
Speaker 3: has gone viral. Anyway, he was hitching a ride on

18
00:00:47,560 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 3: another flight and apparently he said I'm not okay and

19
00:00:51,360 --> 00:00:52,880
Speaker 3: he tried to shut the engines off.

20
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:54,560
Speaker 1: Well, the plane was midair.

21
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,240
Speaker 3: Let's bring on Alex Stone, ABC News for KFI about

22
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:00,760
Speaker 3: more on this crazy story.

23
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:03,880
Speaker 2: Hey there, guys, Yeah, we know from core documents that

24
00:01:03,920 --> 00:01:06,560
Speaker 2: we've got now that the flight crew who was flying,

25
00:01:06,600 --> 00:01:09,120
Speaker 2: the pilot and the first officer, the captain and the

26
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:11,800
Speaker 2: first officer, that they say he was acting totally normally,

27
00:01:11,840 --> 00:01:15,240
Speaker 2: that he was engaging in chit chat, that he was

28
00:01:15,280 --> 00:01:18,080
Speaker 2: sitting in there, seemed totally fine. A last Caroline says

29
00:01:18,120 --> 00:01:21,080
Speaker 2: that they're gate agents, that they're trained to look for

30
00:01:21,400 --> 00:01:25,080
Speaker 2: either flight crew or passengers who seem like they're on something,

31
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:27,959
Speaker 2: whether it be alcohol or drugs, and that they didn't

32
00:01:27,959 --> 00:01:29,800
Speaker 2: see anything when he checked in for the flight and

33
00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,840
Speaker 2: showed his credentials and got on that they say he seemed.

34
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:34,360
Speaker 1: Normal then, and then when he was in the.

35
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:38,800
Speaker 2: Cockpit for about half the flight that the flight crew said, yeah,

36
00:01:38,840 --> 00:01:40,600
Speaker 2: totally normal. And then all of a sudden he says,

37
00:01:40,600 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 2: I'm not right and gets up and pulls those tee

38
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:47,600
Speaker 2: bars the tea handles in the ceiling of the cockpit

39
00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,920
Speaker 2: of the Umbrera one seventy five, and those are what

40
00:01:49,960 --> 00:01:52,960
Speaker 2: would shut down the engines to be used if there

41
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,120
Speaker 2: was a fire on board in the engines. Now, the thing,

42
00:01:56,760 --> 00:01:59,360
Speaker 2: you know, the part that is kind of blowing everybody away,

43
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 2: is that that had this captain been a captain at

44
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:05,960
Speaker 2: Alaska since twenty nineteen, saying that telling police we now

45
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,359
Speaker 2: know that he had taken magic mushrooms about forty eight

46
00:02:09,400 --> 00:02:12,440
Speaker 2: hours before he got on the plane, had not slept

47
00:02:12,480 --> 00:02:15,920
Speaker 2: in a couple of days, had been depressed for months,

48
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,560
Speaker 2: felt like he was in a dream as all of

49
00:02:18,600 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 2: this was going on, and tried to wake up and

50
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,880
Speaker 2: thought by doing this that it was going to wake

51
00:02:23,919 --> 00:02:26,600
Speaker 2: him out of his the sleep that he was in,

52
00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:30,120
Speaker 2: and then reached up and pulled on those handles. There

53
00:02:30,200 --> 00:02:32,720
Speaker 2: was a struggle in the cockpit that the pilots who

54
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 2: were flying said went on for about thirty seconds. They

55
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 2: battled him, they kicked him out of the cockpit. Bailey

56
00:02:38,280 --> 00:02:40,760
Speaker 2: Beck was on board, and he says, I.

57
00:02:40,280 --> 00:02:43,080
Speaker 4: Did my best too, just remain calm, as there's nothing

58
00:02:43,080 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 4: really I can do in that situation.

59
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,840
Speaker 2: And now we know when he went out of the cockpit,

60
00:02:47,080 --> 00:02:50,200
Speaker 2: he would The flight attendants were escorting him toward the

61
00:02:50,200 --> 00:02:52,120
Speaker 2: back and he walked back there and then went for

62
00:02:52,120 --> 00:02:54,839
Speaker 2: the emergency exit and a flight attendant took his hand

63
00:02:54,880 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 2: and took it off of the handle of the emergency

64
00:02:57,560 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: exit door, and that's when he told the flight attendant,

65
00:03:01,440 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 2: you better cuff me right now, or it's going to

66
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:07,119
Speaker 2: be bad. And that's when they got the flexcuffs out

67
00:03:07,360 --> 00:03:10,480
Speaker 2: the plastic cuffs and cuffed him to a railing in

68
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:13,320
Speaker 2: the back until they could make the emergency landing in Portland.

69
00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,320
Speaker 2: And you know, through all of this, the passengers knew

70
00:03:17,800 --> 00:03:21,120
Speaker 2: something was going on. They didn't know exactly what it

71
00:03:21,200 --> 00:03:22,880
Speaker 2: was that was going on. They thought it was a

72
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:27,240
Speaker 2: medical emergency, but they knew something was happening. He was,

73
00:03:27,800 --> 00:03:31,120
Speaker 2: we now know from Alaska Airlines, able to pull on

74
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:33,840
Speaker 2: those tee handles that would have shut off the engines.

75
00:03:33,880 --> 00:03:35,560
Speaker 2: He did get his hands on him and did pull

76
00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:38,680
Speaker 2: them out of the ceiling enough to arm the fire

77
00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 2: suppression system on board that the alarm started going off

78
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,200
Speaker 2: and they got warnings in the cockpit, but he wasn't

79
00:03:44,240 --> 00:03:46,600
Speaker 2: able to pull them all the way down to kill

80
00:03:46,640 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 2: the engines, thank goodness. One of the pilots told police

81
00:03:49,840 --> 00:03:53,200
Speaker 2: and their interview afterwards that had he done that, that

82
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:55,760
Speaker 2: that plane with eighty four people on board, would have

83
00:03:55,760 --> 00:03:58,880
Speaker 2: become a giant glider at night over the woods of Oregon.

84
00:03:59,800 --> 00:04:01,440
Speaker 2: But he wasn't able to do it. They put the

85
00:04:02,040 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 2: handles back into the ceiling and cleared everything and then

86
00:04:05,360 --> 00:04:11,160
Speaker 2: continued on to Portland. But the mix was apparently magic mushrooms,

87
00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,840
Speaker 2: not sleeping for a few days, being depressed for months,

88
00:04:15,160 --> 00:04:17,440
Speaker 2: and feeling like he was in a dream. That he

89
00:04:17,480 --> 00:04:19,839
Speaker 2: admitted to police allegedly that he carried it out.

90
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:22,080
Speaker 3: But everything seemed okay until he tried to do this.

91
00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 3: Nobody noticed anything peculiar about him. Though he's in a

92
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 3: stupor and a dream and he's on magic mushrooms.

93
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:27,360
Speaker 4: Yeah.

94
00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,120
Speaker 2: No, They from the gate agents to the cockpit crew,

95
00:04:30,160 --> 00:04:33,440
Speaker 2: they say everything was totally normal, chatting with them, small talk,

96
00:04:33,640 --> 00:04:35,719
Speaker 2: and then out of nowhere said I'm not right, jumped

97
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:40,280
Speaker 2: up and grabbed the controls, and he told police Emerson

98
00:04:40,360 --> 00:04:42,840
Speaker 2: did that he felt like the crew wasn't paying enough

99
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:45,040
Speaker 2: attention to flying the plane and felt like he had

100
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,360
Speaker 2: to do something. I don't think the answer would be

101
00:04:47,400 --> 00:04:49,719
Speaker 2: turned off the engines. Yeah, I feel like that they're

102
00:04:49,720 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 2: not paying enough attention. He has magic mushrooms floating in

103
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:57,560
Speaker 2: his brain. I mean, the ingredient is silocybin, that's the

104
00:04:57,600 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 2: psychedelic and so that that completely disrupts your brain wiring

105
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:04,520
Speaker 2: and your perception is of what's going on. I mean,

106
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:06,919
Speaker 2: the only thing would be our medical team here at ABC.

107
00:05:07,040 --> 00:05:09,400
Speaker 2: They were going over with us last night. What magic

108
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:12,240
Speaker 2: mushrooms do and how long they're in your system, and

109
00:05:12,279 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 2: normally it's only a few hours, not days. There is

110
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:20,800
Speaker 2: a condition very rare that they would create hallucinogenic properties

111
00:05:20,839 --> 00:05:22,800
Speaker 2: for a couple of days, and some people who have

112
00:05:23,279 --> 00:05:25,560
Speaker 2: a bad reaction to them. Maybe he just happens to

113
00:05:25,600 --> 00:05:28,800
Speaker 2: be one of those people. But typically, you know, if

114
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,320
Speaker 2: he took them. So this was Sunday, So if he's

115
00:05:31,360 --> 00:05:33,240
Speaker 2: telling forty eight hour Friday, it, you know would have

116
00:05:33,240 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 2: been out by Saturday morning and he is. You know,

117
00:05:35,680 --> 00:05:38,920
Speaker 2: that's assuming he's telling the truth. Yeah, or when did

118
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:40,320
Speaker 2: he take him? You know, when they find out he

119
00:05:40,320 --> 00:05:42,320
Speaker 2: took him when he was walking down the jetway. You know,

120
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:45,719
Speaker 2: who knows Every guy who's pulled over for duy says, oh,

121
00:05:45,760 --> 00:05:47,080
Speaker 2: one beer, I had one beer.

122
00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:49,400
Speaker 1: I mean, everybody lies when they're actually caught.

123
00:05:49,839 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 2: When you when you had eight beers, I'm sorry, No,

124
00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:53,960
Speaker 2: you say you did with one beer? Yeah, when you're

125
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,640
Speaker 2: hearing eighty three attempted murder charges, it's like, you know,

126
00:05:56,680 --> 00:05:58,240
Speaker 2: I never heard of magic mushrooms.

127
00:05:59,200 --> 00:06:00,400
Speaker 1: I've only read it him.

128
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:01,960
Speaker 2: I mean, you're just going to say whatever you have

129
00:06:02,040 --> 00:06:04,960
Speaker 2: to say to try to cloud up the case now, Alex.

130
00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,720
Speaker 3: There was some confusion yesterday as to whether or not

131
00:06:06,720 --> 00:06:08,520
Speaker 3: he had just taken the magic mushrooms. So they were

132
00:06:08,520 --> 00:06:11,159
Speaker 3: in his system from a previous time. So we're now

133
00:06:11,200 --> 00:06:12,400
Speaker 3: sure he took them just.

134
00:06:12,279 --> 00:06:15,560
Speaker 2: As there was so there was in the federal So

135
00:06:15,600 --> 00:06:18,919
Speaker 2: there's now two cases against him. There the there's a

136
00:06:18,960 --> 00:06:22,279
Speaker 2: federal charge of interfering the flight crew, and then the

137
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:25,640
Speaker 2: local the state of Oregon the eighty three counts of

138
00:06:25,680 --> 00:06:28,520
Speaker 2: attempted murder and then one more account of something else.

139
00:06:28,920 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 2: Add that in the federal case they just said he

140
00:06:31,839 --> 00:06:34,800
Speaker 2: had taken them before, and that he had said that

141
00:06:35,040 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 2: it was the first time he had taken magic mushrooms,

142
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 2: but we didn't know was it right then or was

143
00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 2: it and hold two months before and how many yeah,

144
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:45,679
Speaker 2: how well in any Yeah, apparently wasn't micro dosing based

145
00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:47,480
Speaker 2: on if it you know, made them do all this.

146
00:06:48,040 --> 00:06:51,599
Speaker 2: The the the state charges though they say that he

147
00:06:51,720 --> 00:06:55,920
Speaker 2: told local police forty eight hours before, so it apparently

148
00:06:55,960 --> 00:06:58,840
Speaker 2: was shortly before he though now is on suicide watch

149
00:06:58,880 --> 00:07:02,520
Speaker 2: in jail, that nine minutes after his book into the

150
00:07:02,560 --> 00:07:06,479
Speaker 2: Poorland area of jail, that he made some comment about

151
00:07:06,520 --> 00:07:09,640
Speaker 2: ninety minutes afterwards that worried police and they put him

152
00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:13,800
Speaker 2: on there. He pleaded guilty, not guilty yesterday, not guilty

153
00:07:13,800 --> 00:07:15,720
Speaker 2: in court to the state charges. He's going to be

154
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:19,400
Speaker 2: in court tomorrow on the federal charge. He's going to

155
00:07:19,440 --> 00:07:22,880
Speaker 2: be indicted. We know that the DA and in the

156
00:07:22,880 --> 00:07:27,400
Speaker 2: Portland area is going for a grand jury for an indictment. Federally,

157
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:30,240
Speaker 2: he will have to be indicted. For a federal case

158
00:07:30,280 --> 00:07:32,200
Speaker 2: to move forward, they've got to indict him, so he'll

159
00:07:32,240 --> 00:07:34,720
Speaker 2: be indicted on that one as well. So there will

160
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 2: be indictments coming down as well. But right now that

161
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:38,680
Speaker 2: the charges have been filed.

162
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:41,760
Speaker 3: Now, is you have a mushroom defense? You think, I mean,

163
00:07:41,800 --> 00:07:42,840
Speaker 3: I don't know, I'm mental.

164
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,360
Speaker 2: I mean likely going to go down the mental road

165
00:07:45,360 --> 00:07:46,840
Speaker 2: if I didn't know what I was doing that I'm

166
00:07:46,880 --> 00:07:48,040
Speaker 2: depressed and I'm mentally ill.

167
00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:49,920
Speaker 1: But but we don't know. He's not guilty right now.

168
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 2: Drugs is not a legal defense, no, But if he

169
00:07:53,040 --> 00:07:56,720
Speaker 2: can claim clinical depression, that he had been dealing with

170
00:07:56,760 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 2: this for a long time, that he was going down

171
00:07:59,360 --> 00:08:01,120
Speaker 2: a bad road, the NASA road.

172
00:08:01,000 --> 00:08:04,520
Speaker 3: Flying or near any planes, I've looked guilty And how

173
00:08:04,520 --> 00:08:07,160
Speaker 3: often do they test pilots for anything like drugs.

174
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:11,200
Speaker 2: Or well, I know there's random that can be random alcohol.

175
00:08:11,240 --> 00:08:14,440
Speaker 2: I believe drugs as well. They do their yearly, depending

176
00:08:14,440 --> 00:08:17,480
Speaker 2: on age, it can be anywhere from every six months

177
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,560
Speaker 2: to every five years, but typically a yearly annual physical.

178
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 2: There is a little bit in there about mental health,

179
00:08:25,120 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 2: and you know I had a physical on Saturday. You

180
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:30,120
Speaker 2: know where they typically are you sad, have you had

181
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:33,079
Speaker 2: any anxiety recently? And then if anything flags, they can

182
00:08:33,160 --> 00:08:36,080
Speaker 2: refer you to go deeper, but it's not typically on

183
00:08:36,160 --> 00:08:39,080
Speaker 2: the surface, something that they dig real deep into and

184
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,240
Speaker 2: their union rules with the airlines where they can and

185
00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 2: can do. But this did not flag. And Alaska Airlines

186
00:08:45,240 --> 00:08:47,559
Speaker 2: they say he joined the airline in two thousand and

187
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:50,880
Speaker 2: one as a first officer in the regional carrier Horizon,

188
00:08:51,160 --> 00:08:54,959
Speaker 2: owned by Alaska. Then he went to Virgin America in

189
00:08:55,000 --> 00:08:57,280
Speaker 2: twenty twelve they got bought by Alaska. Then he was

190
00:08:57,320 --> 00:09:00,000
Speaker 2: back at Alaska. Then he became a captain in twenty nineth.

191
00:09:00,040 --> 00:09:03,839
Speaker 2: Team they say, clean record. Nothing that ever came up

192
00:09:03,880 --> 00:09:07,920
Speaker 2: that you know, he was, at least on paper a

193
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:11,840
Speaker 2: solid employee, a solid captain for for Alaska. So nothing

194
00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:18,199
Speaker 2: there that flagged. All right, are you are you said.

195
00:09:16,160 --> 00:09:19,959
Speaker 1: I don't think so. All right, Okay, well this pilot

196
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 1: sounded out to those mushrooms. That's right, all.

197
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,520
Speaker 3: Right, Alex Stone, ABC News for KFI on the Magic

198
00:09:25,600 --> 00:09:29,359
Speaker 3: Mushroom Pilot, CNN Alaska Airlines, Joseph Emerson.

199
00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:30,240
Speaker 1: Shannon has a story.

200
00:09:30,520 --> 00:09:34,760
Speaker 2: Uh. They interviewed Matt Johnson. He's a Johns Hopkins professor.

201
00:09:34,800 --> 00:09:41,240
Speaker 2: He studies magic, mushrooms and psychedelics, and uh, it's possible.

202
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:47,880
Speaker 2: He said that between the lingering effects of the mushrooms,

203
00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:52,000
Speaker 2: his depression and being sleep deprived he claimed he hadn't

204
00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,880
Speaker 2: slept in forty hours, that it could have created a

205
00:09:55,880 --> 00:10:02,760
Speaker 2: perfect storm where Emerson was experiencing d realization derealization, a

206
00:10:02,880 --> 00:10:07,440
Speaker 2: feeling of detachment from one's surroundings. People describe the experience

207
00:10:07,559 --> 00:10:10,080
Speaker 2: as feeling as though they're in a movie or a dream.

208
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 2: Psychotic like behavior is among the risks of taking silocybin,

209
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,960
Speaker 2: which is the active ingredient in mushrooms, especially if you

210
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 2: have an existing psychiatric disorder.

211
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,920
Speaker 3: All right, well, we just got word that when we return,

212
00:10:25,840 --> 00:10:28,320
Speaker 3: our guest is going to be the attorney for Fraser.

213
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:32,160
Speaker 3: Michael Boehm, the twenty two year old Malibu young man

214
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:34,720
Speaker 3: that killed those four women on Pacific Coast Highway a

215
00:10:34,720 --> 00:10:38,920
Speaker 3: week ago. Yesterday, Michael Krout will join us. This ought

216
00:10:38,960 --> 00:10:41,480
Speaker 3: to be interesting, and of course we learned today that

217
00:10:41,679 --> 00:10:43,559
Speaker 3: he thinks there may have been a road rage incident

218
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:47,000
Speaker 3: involved before this crash. Johnny kenkf I AM six forty

Speaker 5: I AM six forty.

222
00:10:55,480 --> 00:10:57,439
Speaker 3: We began the show with the press conference from the

223
00:10:57,520 --> 00:11:00,800
Speaker 3: Los Angeles County District Attorney George gasconong with LA County

224
00:11:00,800 --> 00:11:04,720
Speaker 3: Sheriff's officials announcing that it is four counts of murder

225
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,319
Speaker 3: and four counts of gross vehicular manslaughter against twenty two

226
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:09,920
Speaker 3: year old Fraser Michael.

227
00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:10,720
Speaker 1: Bohm of Malibu.

228
00:11:11,360 --> 00:11:13,240
Speaker 3: He's the guy that was behind the wheel of a

229
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 3: BMW that was speeding down Pacific Coast Highway. It crashed

230
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 3: into some cars and also crashed into and killed four

231
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:24,920
Speaker 3: Pepperdine students. They say that record show from the vehicle

232
00:11:24,960 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 3: that he was traveling one hundred and four miles per

233
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:29,480
Speaker 3: hour in a forty five mile per hour zone, and

234
00:11:29,720 --> 00:11:33,839
Speaker 3: Gascon used some terminology along the lines that he kind

235
00:11:33,880 --> 00:11:38,160
Speaker 3: of knew that he was driving very dangerously. What stunned

236
00:11:38,240 --> 00:11:40,480
Speaker 3: us was a question from reporters during the news conference,

237
00:11:40,720 --> 00:11:43,720
Speaker 3: because apparently Baum had already appeared in court and pled

238
00:11:43,760 --> 00:11:45,800
Speaker 3: not guilty to the charges. And he has an attorney

239
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:49,120
Speaker 3: by the name of Michael Krout who told reporters outside

240
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,120
Speaker 3: court that his client was being chased following a road

241
00:11:52,240 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 3: rage incident at the time. So Michael crowd has agreed

242
00:11:55,280 --> 00:11:56,760
Speaker 3: to talk to us. Let's bring him on the show.

243
00:11:57,600 --> 00:11:59,480
Speaker 1: Michael Krout, Welcome to the John and Ken Show.

244
00:12:00,480 --> 00:12:01,520
Speaker 4: Thank you, good afternoon.

245
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:03,760
Speaker 2: All right, he's going one hundred and four miles an hour.

246
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:07,040
Speaker 2: Say the police, you say he was being chased. Tell

247
00:12:07,080 --> 00:12:07,720
Speaker 2: us the story.

248
00:12:09,559 --> 00:12:12,880
Speaker 4: The short version is he stopped the stop light near

249
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 4: Duke's and he was texting somebody and as he's able

250
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 4: to do a stop light not moving, and this man

251
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 4: next to him became outraged. And we later learned who

252
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,680
Speaker 4: this person is and that he has a history of

253
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:33,120
Speaker 4: exceptionally aggressive behavior when driving. And my client left and

254
00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:37,480
Speaker 4: was driving in the roadway up pch in what they

255
00:12:37,480 --> 00:12:39,640
Speaker 4: call the number two lane, which is next to the shoulder.

256
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,240
Speaker 4: The other person started trying to chase him. My client

257
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:45,920
Speaker 4: as the other person came into his lane to try

258
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,400
Speaker 4: and force him off the road, sped up to go

259
00:12:48,440 --> 00:12:52,680
Speaker 4: around him. Their cars connected. My client went into the

260
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:57,320
Speaker 4: began to slow down, was put into the gravel or

261
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:03,000
Speaker 4: the side of the roadway and hit the car. And unfortunately,

262
00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:07,199
Speaker 4: the four Pepperdine ladies who had just left a frat

263
00:13:07,240 --> 00:13:09,920
Speaker 4: party were in the street and the car hit them

264
00:13:10,040 --> 00:13:11,680
Speaker 4: and they all passed away.

265
00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,559
Speaker 1: Did your client tell the police this immediately?

266
00:13:15,760 --> 00:13:15,840
Speaker 3: So?

267
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,640
Speaker 4: My client, by the way, so we're clear, is a

268
00:13:18,679 --> 00:13:22,880
Speaker 4: twenty two year old young man, zero criminal record, zero

269
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:29,079
Speaker 4: traffic violations, has always been law abiding and stopped at

270
00:13:29,080 --> 00:13:32,240
Speaker 4: the scene, waited at the scene, had no drugs in him,

271
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:35,360
Speaker 4: no alcohol. He had just picked up tacos in Santa

272
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,240
Speaker 4: Monica for a friend of pH was bringing the young

273
00:13:39,280 --> 00:13:43,120
Speaker 4: man dinner, and he cooperated and told them everything, including

274
00:13:43,200 --> 00:13:45,600
Speaker 4: that the car the other car came in and hit

275
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 4: him from the side. The sheriffs the family hired me

276
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:54,680
Speaker 4: right after this had happened. The next day I reached out,

277
00:13:54,760 --> 00:13:58,880
Speaker 4: we located who the detective was. The detective was given

278
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 4: numerous phone mess as well as emails saying that we

279
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,760
Speaker 4: had vital and critical information to provide him to assist

280
00:14:06,120 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 4: in the investigation, and he never called back, and then

281
00:14:11,400 --> 00:14:13,280
Speaker 4: we tracked it. Then we found there was a warrant

282
00:14:13,320 --> 00:14:15,480
Speaker 4: because my client was just arrested, and I reached out

283
00:14:15,600 --> 00:14:18,960
Speaker 4: to the assigned district attorney who had filed the case

284
00:14:19,480 --> 00:14:23,240
Speaker 4: and said that there was information we want to provide,

285
00:14:23,520 --> 00:14:26,840
Speaker 4: and did not get a call back, and today was

286
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 4: the arraignment.

287
00:14:27,600 --> 00:14:31,560
Speaker 2: So none of the police and the investigators wrote down

288
00:14:31,600 --> 00:14:37,040
Speaker 2: this information for their report that your client gave them.

289
00:14:37,360 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 4: They did put in At first the DA I believe,

290
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 4: said that that didn't happen, and then later on admitted

291
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:47,720
Speaker 4: that there was a statement that my client had been

292
00:14:48,240 --> 00:14:53,000
Speaker 4: the car had made contact with his and so we're

293
00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:57,840
Speaker 4: very clear. We learned from somebody else who's Malibusa small community,

294
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:03,280
Speaker 4: that this gentleman told somebody in his family that he

295
00:15:03,360 --> 00:15:07,440
Speaker 4: was involved in this and he had chased my client

296
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 4: and pushed him off the side of the roadway and

297
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,080
Speaker 4: then the accident happened.

298
00:15:11,320 --> 00:15:14,000
Speaker 1: And this is triggered by your client texting.

299
00:15:16,000 --> 00:15:19,920
Speaker 4: Texting at a stoplight and the person was exceptionally angry

300
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:20,880
Speaker 4: and yelling at him.

301
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: Does you say you know this person's name.

302
00:15:24,800 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 4: We have located who the person is.

303
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,440
Speaker 3: Yes, and you also said they have some sort of

304
00:15:28,440 --> 00:15:31,480
Speaker 3: a record doing this, harassing people that they think are

305
00:15:31,600 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 3: doing bad things on the road or something.

306
00:15:34,440 --> 00:15:37,600
Speaker 4: We understand that he is an exceptionally aggressive driver and

307
00:15:37,600 --> 00:15:39,960
Speaker 4: has had repeated problems.

308
00:15:40,040 --> 00:15:42,240
Speaker 1: And are the police looking into him.

309
00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,320
Speaker 4: We still have not been able to get them to

310
00:15:45,360 --> 00:15:48,560
Speaker 4: return one call. The reason you're hearing about this is

311
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:51,040
Speaker 4: we finally put it on the record at the arraignment,

312
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 4: and at that time the issue came up before the

313
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:59,200
Speaker 4: district attorney, and then during a press release afterwards, I

314
00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,040
Speaker 4: brought this up again. But I do want to comment

315
00:16:02,040 --> 00:16:05,560
Speaker 4: on a couple of things. I think in the fifteen

316
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:08,160
Speaker 4: years I was a deputy district attorney and now fifteen

317
00:16:08,240 --> 00:16:11,720
Speaker 4: years in the defense side, I have never ever seen

318
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:14,960
Speaker 4: a case that was filed within five days of an

319
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 4: incident when the person's out of custody. It usually takes months,

320
00:16:19,600 --> 00:16:22,000
Speaker 4: if not a year, to decide whether or not to

321
00:16:22,080 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 4: file charges on that, and to look at the car,

322
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,840
Speaker 4: to get cameras, to get all the witnesses, to look

323
00:16:27,880 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 4: at every single thing, and literally put a periscope up

324
00:16:30,960 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 4: and look three hundred and sixty degrees around That didn't happen.

325
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:38,640
Speaker 4: The sheriffs under the pressure of Gascon and who else

326
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,880
Speaker 4: had pressure in the community pointed in one direction as

327
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:43,960
Speaker 4: the person who was in the actual the car hit

328
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,160
Speaker 4: the other car and focused only on that and rushed

329
00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:51,120
Speaker 4: to file murder charges even when the district attorney discussed

330
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:54,040
Speaker 4: the case in court today, the fact that he gave

331
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,320
Speaker 4: amount to less than murder at most gross vehicular manslaughter.

332
00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:03,720
Speaker 2: Gascone is not known for pressuring to get arrests and convictions.

333
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,840
Speaker 2: Why would he put so much pressure to have this

334
00:17:09,000 --> 00:17:13,560
Speaker 2: case charged so quickly, especially with second degree murder charges.

335
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:18,359
Speaker 4: So I guess the best way to say this is

336
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,520
Speaker 4: there are times when Gascon it's to his political political

337
00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:29,200
Speaker 4: advantage to take a certain position. So a prosecutor has

338
00:17:29,200 --> 00:17:32,359
Speaker 4: a duty to only speak about the evidence, that is

339
00:17:32,440 --> 00:17:36,320
Speaker 4: the fact that they are aware of, and to be

340
00:17:36,480 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 4: truthful and honest with the public and whoever they're making

341
00:17:39,760 --> 00:17:43,439
Speaker 4: these statements with Gascon previously has done the same with

342
00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:47,000
Speaker 4: the nurse who had the catastrophic accident in the valley

343
00:17:47,119 --> 00:17:51,399
Speaker 4: and rushed to file charges on that person. My client

344
00:17:51,560 --> 00:17:53,640
Speaker 4: was never going one hundred and four miles an hour,

345
00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,600
Speaker 4: and all of the paperwork they provided to us, specifically

346
00:17:56,760 --> 00:17:59,359
Speaker 4: even says the computer chips inside what they call the

347
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 4: black box, said he was not going one hundred and

348
00:18:01,920 --> 00:18:04,800
Speaker 4: four miles an hour. It actually said at the moment

349
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 4: of impact, he was going seventy miles an hour. Gascon

350
00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,720
Speaker 4: has repeatedly said multiple things that I believe I heard

351
00:18:11,840 --> 00:18:15,320
Speaker 4: the press conference, they had to admit, well, yes, Kroud

352
00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:19,000
Speaker 4: had called the detectives and tried to provide information.

353
00:18:19,280 --> 00:18:20,960
Speaker 1: Where'd the one hundred and four comes from?

354
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,720
Speaker 4: You know, I guess that came from Gascon because there's

355
00:18:26,720 --> 00:18:28,359
Speaker 4: no paperwork that says that number.

356
00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,639
Speaker 1: Let me ask you again about the actual crash.

357
00:18:31,720 --> 00:18:34,600
Speaker 3: You're saying that this road rage driver that was chasing

358
00:18:34,640 --> 00:18:38,040
Speaker 3: your client, he hit him just before your client ran

359
00:18:38,040 --> 00:18:38,600
Speaker 3: into the women.

360
00:18:39,800 --> 00:18:43,200
Speaker 4: He pushed him off the road. The cars did touch

361
00:18:43,240 --> 00:18:47,440
Speaker 4: each other, and my client was pushed into this to

362
00:18:48,200 --> 00:18:50,160
Speaker 4: be I don't know if she said it off the road,

363
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 4: but into the area where you can park, all the

364
00:18:52,480 --> 00:18:54,600
Speaker 4: way to the right where the car was parked.

365
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 3: But there are there's no witnesses to this. There were

366
00:18:57,800 --> 00:19:01,600
Speaker 3: people out there weren't there that night or seeing two

367
00:19:01,640 --> 00:19:02,879
Speaker 3: cars involved in something.

368
00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:06,600
Speaker 4: So there is actually video that shows this.

369
00:19:07,640 --> 00:19:10,320
Speaker 1: You've seen it, and one of the new I have, and.

370
00:19:10,320 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 4: One of the news organizations actually played it that day

371
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:14,120
Speaker 4: or the next day.

372
00:19:16,200 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 3: Video that shows your client's car being bumped by this

373
00:19:18,840 --> 00:19:20,000
Speaker 3: other road rage driver.

374
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 4: It shows him being chased by that car being chased.

375
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:28,280
Speaker 2: Okay, see, because when I heard this today, I thought, well,

376
00:19:29,119 --> 00:19:33,320
Speaker 2: did Fraser Boum immediately tell the police I got pushed

377
00:19:33,359 --> 00:19:38,399
Speaker 2: by another guy into these cars?

378
00:19:39,160 --> 00:19:40,080
Speaker 4: He did, tell them.

379
00:19:40,480 --> 00:19:44,679
Speaker 2: He's going down pch you should go after him. He

380
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,639
Speaker 2: hit me, and then I hit the other cars and

381
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,320
Speaker 2: the girls. He told all the cops this and what

382
00:19:49,359 --> 00:19:51,040
Speaker 2: they just stared at him.

383
00:19:51,320 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 4: So let me kind of create a better scene for you.

384
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:59,480
Speaker 4: Seventy miles an hour, my client hit. He was severely injured.

385
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:05,160
Speaker 4: Part of his tongue was severed and split. He had

386
00:20:05,160 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 4: a severe concussion, and they believed he had a brain

387
00:20:09,640 --> 00:20:11,960
Speaker 4: bleed when he was taken by the police. He was

388
00:20:12,040 --> 00:20:15,680
Speaker 4: rushed to the hospital by the police. So they did

389
00:20:15,720 --> 00:20:18,960
Speaker 4: a few fields of riety tests. He passed those. So

390
00:20:19,000 --> 00:20:21,359
Speaker 4: it's hard to get a full statement, but everything he

391
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,920
Speaker 4: tilled them, he told them that this white car came

392
00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:26,880
Speaker 4: at him. He told him that it hit his car

393
00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 4: and pushed him. He gave as much statement they asked

394
00:20:29,880 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 4: him if you've been drinking? He said no. Asked him

395
00:20:31,960 --> 00:20:34,080
Speaker 4: if he did any drugs, He said no. He was

396
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,320
Speaker 4: truthful and accurate and everything he gave.

397
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:40,320
Speaker 3: This other driver. Do you think he's going to be

398
00:20:40,720 --> 00:20:43,640
Speaker 3: forced to appear because you're saying that he has admitted

399
00:20:43,840 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 3: something of being involved in this.

400
00:20:46,359 --> 00:20:49,199
Speaker 4: We have all intention to subpoena this person at the

401
00:20:49,240 --> 00:20:51,600
Speaker 4: right time and bring that person forward as well as

402
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,600
Speaker 4: the people for the individuals who that person is spoken

403
00:20:54,640 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 4: to and told the story too, in case he denies it.

404
00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,360
Speaker 2: Your story couldn't possibly be more different than when Gascone

405
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 2: and the investigators laid out, Yes.

406
00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:06,520
Speaker 3: A reckless young guy just drive in too fast, lost

407
00:21:06,520 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 3: control of his car.

408
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:08,119
Speaker 1: That's all we're getting.

409
00:21:09,080 --> 00:21:11,640
Speaker 4: Well, I don't really want to care too much about

410
00:21:11,920 --> 00:21:15,760
Speaker 4: what Cascone says. He hasn't read any of the documents

411
00:21:15,800 --> 00:21:18,920
Speaker 4: from what I understand, and he's just speaking, and he's

412
00:21:19,000 --> 00:21:24,080
Speaker 4: running for a contested election against numerous candidates, and so

413
00:21:24,440 --> 00:21:26,719
Speaker 4: right now it's important for him to get out there

414
00:21:26,720 --> 00:21:28,359
Speaker 4: and look like he's a law and order guy. The

415
00:21:28,400 --> 00:21:31,760
Speaker 4: problem is, if he followed the ethics codes, he was not.

416
00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:35,679
Speaker 4: He would never say before anybody that he was the

417
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:37,480
Speaker 4: person was going one hundred and four miles an hour

418
00:21:37,520 --> 00:21:40,760
Speaker 4: when there's zero discovery that says that he wouldn't make

419
00:21:40,800 --> 00:21:45,959
Speaker 4: allegations that he hasn't read and had personal one hand knowledge.

420
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 4: And as to the detective, you know, I expect them

421
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:53,440
Speaker 4: to give what they know and what they're willing to provide,

422
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:57,040
Speaker 4: and the narrative they're giving is not the full narrative.

423
00:21:57,280 --> 00:22:00,960
Speaker 4: And I would expect a detective to listen to everything,

424
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,160
Speaker 4: not rush within five days to file murder charges when

425
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:06,840
Speaker 4: the client is not fleeing the country to go somewhere

426
00:22:06,960 --> 00:22:10,560
Speaker 4: and is not a safety to an issue with safety

427
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:13,640
Speaker 4: to the public. But they do a full investigation. They

428
00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:16,520
Speaker 4: have the car review, they look at everything. They go

429
00:22:16,640 --> 00:22:19,679
Speaker 4: knocking doors and pulling the cameras. There are businesses and

430
00:22:19,760 --> 00:22:21,840
Speaker 4: homes all in here, and they say can I have

431
00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 4: the camera feed? And for many years that I did

432
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:27,159
Speaker 4: this case, these type of cases, on both sides of

433
00:22:27,320 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 4: prosecution and defense, good investigators want to seek the truth.

434
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,520
Speaker 4: And I think there was a pressure. It's a horrible

435
00:22:35,560 --> 00:22:40,840
Speaker 4: accident and in a very wealthy community, and these co

436
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,359
Speaker 4: eds were killed and there's a rush to hold somebody accountable.

437
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:48,400
Speaker 4: And that's where we are today, all.

438
00:22:48,359 --> 00:22:50,159
Speaker 1: Right, Michael Kroud, thank you for talking to us. We

00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:07,720
Speaker 3: defense attorney was there was a road rage incident before

446
00:23:07,760 --> 00:23:11,160

00:23:29,960 --> 00:23:34,800
Speaker 2: we just had the attorney for Frasier Boem. He is

454
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 2: the twenty two year old who struck and killed the

455
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:43,120
Speaker 2: fourteen age the four young girls in their twenties in Malibu.

456
00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:44,760
Speaker 1: They were students.

457
00:23:44,320 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 2: At Pepperdine ran them over and Michael Kraut, Boehm's attorney,

458
00:23:50,520 --> 00:23:53,719
Speaker 2: and he came on and gave a lengthy explanation of

459
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:59,080
Speaker 2: what his client says happened, that there was follow this.

460
00:23:59,080 --> 00:24:00,000
Speaker 1: This is what he told us.

461
00:24:00,720 --> 00:24:03,640
Speaker 2: That Fraser Boom is stopped at a light in front

462
00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:07,240
Speaker 2: of Duke's restaurant and he's texting while the car has stopped.

463
00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 2: There's an angry guy in a car next to him

464
00:24:09,760 --> 00:24:14,680
Speaker 2: who gets agitated seeing Fraser text and after the light

465
00:24:14,800 --> 00:24:21,679
Speaker 2: changes started, chases starts chasing Bomb up the pch and

466
00:24:21,800 --> 00:24:25,560
Speaker 2: eventually hits Boem and that clips him. I guess that

467
00:24:25,640 --> 00:24:30,040
Speaker 2: the word and that causes Boem to crash into the

468
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 2: parked cars on the side of the road, and the

469
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:35,800
Speaker 2: girls were standing between those cars, and you know the

470
00:24:35,840 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 2: rest of the story.

471
00:24:37,840 --> 00:24:40,960
Speaker 3: Further, he said that this man is known, at least

472
00:24:40,960 --> 00:24:43,000
Speaker 3: in the records as something of a road rage driver,

473
00:24:44,000 --> 00:24:45,240
Speaker 3: so he knows the man's identity.

474
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,080
Speaker 2: He says, right, and that all of this was told

475
00:24:48,119 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 2: by Boom to the police that night, and they've been

476
00:24:51,600 --> 00:24:57,639
Speaker 2: trying to tell Gascone's staff all week and not getting

477
00:24:57,720 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 2: much of a response.

478
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:02,120
Speaker 3: And he gets with the Sheriff's investigators. The sheriff department

479
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:04,840
Speaker 3: is the one that leads the way collecting all the evidence,

480
00:25:05,040 --> 00:25:07,119
Speaker 3: and then they present the case that they accumulated to

481
00:25:07,160 --> 00:25:09,719
Speaker 3: the DA. So that's where they should have gone with

482
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,440
Speaker 3: this story, to have them check it out, right right, Well,

483
00:25:13,760 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 3: I mean he claimed that when asked at the press

484
00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:18,520
Speaker 3: conference because a reporter brought this up. There seemed to

485
00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:21,640
Speaker 3: be some confusion between Gascon and the Sheriff's Department spokeshole

486
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,440
Speaker 3: because they didn't seem to They're like.

487
00:25:23,440 --> 00:25:24,119
Speaker 1: I think, what what?

488
00:25:25,320 --> 00:25:27,719
Speaker 3: Eventually Gascone says that they can come to my office

489
00:25:27,760 --> 00:25:30,080
Speaker 3: and and bring what they have or something like that.

490
00:25:30,119 --> 00:25:37,119
Speaker 2: Well did did the Sheriff's Department Stonewall Michael Krout just didn't.

491
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:38,600
Speaker 1: Find it credible? I don't know.

492
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:42,640
Speaker 2: Well, you can easily, I mean, it's part of the investigation.

493
00:25:42,760 --> 00:25:44,080
Speaker 2: If there's video of this.

494
00:25:45,240 --> 00:25:48,480
Speaker 3: And the defense attorney actually found the man who supposedly

495
00:25:48,520 --> 00:25:50,719
Speaker 3: has admitted that he was involved in something, and there

496
00:25:50,760 --> 00:25:53,280
Speaker 3: should be there should be damage on the guy's car,

497
00:25:54,359 --> 00:25:56,600
Speaker 3: and there should be some damage on Boem's car that

498
00:25:56,880 --> 00:25:59,680
Speaker 3: connects to being hit by the mystery man.

499
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:04,240
Speaker 1: I just it's hard. I mean, unless the Sheriff's.

500
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:09,520
Speaker 2: Just completely dismissed it and gas Going didn't have the

501
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:13,800
Speaker 2: curiosity or he was driven to make a splash here

502
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,800
Speaker 2: since he's running for reelection, and he's botched up so

503
00:26:16,880 --> 00:26:19,000
Speaker 2: many cases, and he thought, well, this one's gonna be easy.

504
00:26:19,040 --> 00:26:20,040
Speaker 1: I'm going to look like a hero.

505
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:22,520
Speaker 3: There was a lot of media attention on this story.

506
00:26:22,560 --> 00:26:25,720
Speaker 3: It's a horribly tragic story. People are screaming about Pacific

507
00:26:25,720 --> 00:26:29,000
Speaker 3: Coast Highway and Malibu. I mean, our guest, the defense attorney,

508
00:26:29,000 --> 00:26:32,640
Speaker 3: Michael Kroud, said he hadn't seen anything filed so quickly,

509
00:26:33,080 --> 00:26:36,120
Speaker 3: just seven days or so after this happened.

510
00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:38,959
Speaker 2: And then and then Gascar's claiming that the car went

511
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:41,760
Speaker 2: at one hundred and four, the attorney's claiming, no, it

512
00:26:41,800 --> 00:26:44,280
Speaker 2: was seventy, which is still bad for a forty five

513
00:26:44,280 --> 00:26:45,679
Speaker 2: mile an hour zone.

514
00:26:46,359 --> 00:26:48,880
Speaker 3: But it's the cars have like a black box where

515
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:51,480
Speaker 3: you can check out a It's a basic fact that

516
00:26:51,480 --> 00:26:57,040
Speaker 3: shouldn't be in dispute. Yes, so defense attorneys versus George Gascon,

517
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:01,520
Speaker 3: I don't know what to do right. Credibility scale, Well, yeah,

518
00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 3: I mean Gascone is a complete screw up.

519
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:05,399
Speaker 1: Plus Gascone is just reading.

520
00:27:05,520 --> 00:27:07,720
Speaker 3: It was give the cases being handled by his assistance

521
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:09,120
Speaker 3: and by the Sheriff's department, so.

522
00:27:09,400 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: He doesn't know the details. I was just reading what

523
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:11,879
Speaker 1: they gave him.

524
00:27:11,880 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 2: The indeed, that's the thing. It was a blatant campaign appearance,

525
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,200
Speaker 2: is what it was. So yeah, they gave him a

526
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:19,719
Speaker 2: script and he doesn't really know the details because as

527
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:22,880
Speaker 2: soon as the reporter started asking a little more pointed questions,

528
00:27:22,920 --> 00:27:26,520
Speaker 2: if you noticed, Gascon started getting pissy, You started getting

529
00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:29,240
Speaker 2: a little angry, and he started cutting off the questions

530
00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:31,440
Speaker 2: because he can't take hard questions and he can't take

531
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 2: a criticism, either direct or implied criticism. He gets really jumpy.

532
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:39,919
Speaker 2: But I don't know how five days go by and

533
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,000
Speaker 2: all this stuff was in completely covered by the Sheriff's department.

534
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:44,960
Speaker 1: That doesn't make any sense now.

535
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 3: At first it came out today was when outside the courtroom,

536
00:27:48,440 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 3: this defense attorney we just talked to, Michael Kroutz, started

537
00:27:50,760 --> 00:27:53,720
Speaker 3: telling reporters this story about the road rages. Right, so

538
00:27:54,200 --> 00:27:56,040
Speaker 3: what did the Sheriff's department do with that?

539
00:27:56,480 --> 00:27:59,640
Speaker 1: With that story? Just said, not going to pursue. It

540
00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,000
Speaker 1: doesn't seem to be anything to it.

541
00:28:01,080 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 2: If bo if Boat made up the story, it's really

542
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:10,640
Speaker 2: easy to see. Says they have the guys that supposedly

543
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,000
Speaker 2: did this, and the guy and the guy's cars. I

544
00:28:13,000 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 2: remember reports where they didn't seem to think there was

545
00:28:15,160 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 2: a second car. I remember following it because the first

546
00:28:17,480 --> 00:28:20,120
Speaker 2: thing we all thought was they're racing. Remember that there

547
00:28:20,200 --> 00:28:22,560
Speaker 2: was a rumor that racing was involved, and it would

548
00:28:22,560 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 2: look like racing right one car.

549
00:28:25,720 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: And I also heard or read.

550
00:28:27,920 --> 00:28:32,280
Speaker 2: Somewhere that there's some incident at Duke's, So you know,

551
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:35,600
Speaker 2: you wondered if there was some dust up, some argument

552
00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:39,360
Speaker 2: and one guy's chasing the other. Really bizarre that this,

553
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:43,080
Speaker 2: if this is true, that the other guy would get

554
00:28:43,120 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 2: angry that Boone was texting while at the light. That's

555
00:28:47,120 --> 00:28:49,400
Speaker 2: that's a strange trigger if that.

556
00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 3: But the attorney implied that this man has a history

557
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:56,800
Speaker 3: of being triggered on the road. So we'll see if

558
00:28:56,800 --> 00:29:00,200
Speaker 3: this person surfaces, who they are, what they say, whether

559
00:29:00,280 --> 00:29:04,200
Speaker 3: or not they admit that they were angry and chased Boone.

560
00:29:04,360 --> 00:29:07,760
Speaker 2: It is bizarre you file four second degree murder charges

561
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,040
Speaker 2: on top of the four vehicular manslaughter charges, because you're

562
00:29:11,040 --> 00:29:14,320
Speaker 2: talking fifteen to life for each count. So gascone and

563
00:29:14,360 --> 00:29:18,280
Speaker 2: it pushes all that through, and then within two hours

564
00:29:18,320 --> 00:29:19,960
Speaker 2: after the press conference.

565
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:20,600
Speaker 1: You hear this.

566
00:29:21,880 --> 00:29:25,680
Speaker 2: Their job is to investigate thoroughly and think of all

567
00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,960
Speaker 2: possible angles before you prosecute somebody for murder.

568
00:29:30,360 --> 00:29:33,440
Speaker 3: There's no I'm sure they're going to be pressed for

569
00:29:33,480 --> 00:29:35,960
Speaker 3: an answer. Not that just the DA's office with the

570
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:39,080
Speaker 3: Sheriff's department as to what they did with this claim

571
00:29:39,400 --> 00:29:41,720
Speaker 3: by Boone and maybe his attorney and the attorney I

572
00:29:41,720 --> 00:29:42,840
Speaker 3: don't know when he came on the game.

573
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,640
Speaker 2: But either this is a bizarre, fictitious story or Gascone

574
00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:50,640
Speaker 2: has really really screwed up badly here.

575
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:52,760
Speaker 1: All right, We'll be right back.

576
00:29:52,800 --> 00:29:56,360
Speaker 3: Johnny Ken k I AM six forty live everywhere iHeartRadio app.

577
00:29:57,200 --> 00:30:01,120
Speaker 5: You're listening to John and Ken on demand KFI AM

578
00:30:01,160 --> 00:30:01,720
Speaker 5: six forty.

579
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:07,680
Speaker 3: Yeah, we got the moistline coming back just in two

580
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:11,320
Speaker 3: days on Friday, So leave a message using the iHeartRadio app,

581
00:30:11,320 --> 00:30:13,680
Speaker 3: the one you hear so much about, or of course

582
00:30:13,720 --> 00:30:15,920
Speaker 3: called the tell Free number one eight seven seven Moist

583
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:19,800
Speaker 3: eighty six. A couple of notes coming from that part

584
00:30:19,800 --> 00:30:22,720
Speaker 3: of the world, Israel and Hamas. Israel has agreed to

585
00:30:22,760 --> 00:30:27,000
Speaker 3: delay the expected invasion of Gaza for now so the

586
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:29,920
Speaker 3: US can rush missile defenses to the region to protect

587
00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,160
Speaker 3: US troops. You probably hear about these drone attacks that

588
00:30:33,240 --> 00:30:35,960
Speaker 3: have been attempted on US troops in that region of

589
00:30:36,040 --> 00:30:39,960
Speaker 3: the world, So there's a concern there for that. The

590
00:30:40,080 --> 00:30:45,200
Speaker 3: US also released its intelligence details that it says now

591
00:30:45,200 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 3: clears Israel and the Gaza hospital blast. Reports of that

592
00:30:49,920 --> 00:30:52,400
Speaker 3: already come out, but this was there. Yesterday was the

593
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:56,040
Speaker 3: first time that they talked about the details of what

594
00:30:56,080 --> 00:30:59,920
Speaker 3: they looked at multiple videos, deal location techniques, and said

595
00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:03,720
Speaker 3: at a high level of confidence, somebody is not responsible.

596
00:31:03,720 --> 00:31:05,640
Speaker 2: Somebody should send that to what's her name? Yeah, the

597
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 2: New York Times. Somebody should call the New York Times

598
00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:11,080
Speaker 2: see if they're interested in that story. Oh yeah, these

599
00:31:11,080 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 2: two nutty congresswomen.

600
00:31:12,760 --> 00:31:13,680
Speaker 1: Yeah, to leave.

601
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,960
Speaker 3: The Wall Street Journal is running a story that in

602
00:31:17,000 --> 00:31:19,240
Speaker 3: the weeks leading up to the Hamas attack in Israel

603
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:25,840
Speaker 3: October seventh, hundreds of Palestinian Islamic Islamic Militant groups fighters

604
00:31:25,840 --> 00:31:30,120
Speaker 3: got special combat training in Iran. Roughly five hundred militants

605
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:33,640
Speaker 3: from Hamas in an ally group, the Palestinian Islamic Jahad.

606
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,800
Speaker 3: I think that was their messo that went Arai, wasn't

607
00:31:35,840 --> 00:31:40,160
Speaker 3: It participated in the exercises in September, which was led

608
00:31:40,200 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 3: by Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps.

609
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:45,479
Speaker 1: Also, all this leads to Iran.

610
00:31:46,040 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 2: It's going to be the US versus Iran and Israel

611
00:31:50,440 --> 00:31:53,120
Speaker 2: versus Iran. Yes, but we are going to back up

612
00:31:53,200 --> 00:31:55,800
Speaker 2: Israel and we are going to jump in if necessary.

613
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,920
Speaker 2: We're going to fund a lot of it. And Iran

614
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:01,600
Speaker 2: is going to fund all of its satellites, all of

615
00:32:01,640 --> 00:32:07,480
Speaker 2: its puppet terrorist units now. And the Russians back Iran,

616
00:32:07,600 --> 00:32:11,520
Speaker 2: the Chinese back Iran. They sell weapons to it. So

617
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,800
Speaker 2: it's all prime to prime for a world war.

618
00:32:14,600 --> 00:32:15,880
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's tarting to look that way.

619
00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,840
Speaker 3: Something to be said that Israel's not done the ground

620
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:21,280
Speaker 3: invasion yet, so you wonder if it's about the hostages

621
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,080
Speaker 3: or about the US request. There's something to that that, you know,

622
00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 3: we have to find out.

623
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:29,200
Speaker 2: Yeah, probably both. I mean, they got a deadline. Eventually

624
00:32:29,240 --> 00:32:31,520
Speaker 2: they're going to have to give up on the hostages.

625
00:32:31,600 --> 00:32:33,640
Speaker 2: And look how quickly they turned it. The media has

626
00:32:33,640 --> 00:32:34,360
Speaker 2: turned them into.

627
00:32:34,160 --> 00:32:36,040
Speaker 1: The bad guy. If they go in on the ground,

628
00:32:36,080 --> 00:32:38,280
Speaker 1: there'll be more of the bad guy. Yeah.

629
00:32:38,520 --> 00:32:41,160
Speaker 2: I don't be ugly. I don't trust the media reporting

630
00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,720
Speaker 2: at all on this story. Conways here you trust me, right?

631
00:32:45,400 --> 00:32:45,760
Speaker 5: Oh?

632
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:46,240
Speaker 1: Yeah?

633
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 4: Sure?

634
00:32:47,440 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: Usually not during these three minutes here.

635
00:32:49,240 --> 00:32:51,160
Speaker 6: No, I got a question for the two of you.

636
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:55,640
Speaker 6: I was listening to you earlier. Great show, by the way,

637
00:32:55,840 --> 00:32:58,680
Speaker 6: A plus, thank you. I'd listen again. You can on

638
00:32:58,720 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 6: the iHeartRadio app and just yeah.

639
00:33:01,040 --> 00:33:01,760
Speaker 1: Or you can listen to this.

640
00:33:02,720 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 6: And I heard you saying that the people in Malibu

641
00:33:05,640 --> 00:33:08,240
Speaker 6: who own these very wealthy cars don't want speed bumps,

642
00:33:08,520 --> 00:33:12,560
Speaker 6: and you can't legislate idiots. Right, Yes, people will do

643
00:33:12,600 --> 00:33:13,240
Speaker 6: stupid things.

644
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:16,320
Speaker 1: Well that was the general tone of the next door app.

645
00:33:16,480 --> 00:33:19,720
Speaker 6: Okay, okay, if that's the case, if that's their philosophy,

646
00:33:19,920 --> 00:33:22,240
Speaker 6: does that also extend itself to the Second Amendment?

647
00:33:23,320 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 2: Uh? With that crew, with that crowd, not at all.

648
00:33:29,400 --> 00:33:31,920
Speaker 2: Probably not no, not even clothes. No, they wouldn't see

649
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:33,560
Speaker 2: the right hypocrisy.

650
00:33:33,640 --> 00:33:36,120
Speaker 1: And they say, well, you know, guns kill, but cars don't. Well,

651
00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:37,000
Speaker 1: clearly cars do.

652
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,160
Speaker 6: Yes, what do you can have a two week you know,

653
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 6: cooling off period before you buy an expensive car? This

654
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:46,000
Speaker 6: is this is exactly you know, the hypocrisy that is

655
00:33:46,120 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 6: living out there at Malibu.

656
00:33:47,360 --> 00:33:49,920
Speaker 1: Very good, Yes, thank you, you're pretty. You're very sharp.

657
00:33:50,160 --> 00:33:52,280
Speaker 6: When I get some sleep, John, I'm as sharp as

658
00:33:52,280 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 6: that come. I just don't get these sleep. Alex Stone

659

660
00:34:01,240 --> 00:34:04,400
Speaker 6: Alaska Airlines pilot. He told police he had take a

661
00:34:04,520 --> 00:34:09,880
Speaker 6: magic mushrooms. I don't believe John, you've ever experienced magic mushroom.

662
00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 2: No.

663
00:34:10,400 --> 00:34:13,600
Speaker 1: I have very very little drug experience, is that right?

664
00:34:13,800 --> 00:34:14,280
Speaker 1: No weed?

665
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:19,480
Speaker 2: Maybe five five joints for not even whole joints today?

666
00:34:20,080 --> 00:34:24,680
Speaker 2: Huh about an hour ago? No, I hated. I hated

667
00:34:24,680 --> 00:34:28,200
Speaker 2: the heat coming from the cigarette. Oh I think I

668
00:34:28,239 --> 00:34:30,640
Speaker 2: meant the cops. No, no, no, no, I just hot,

669
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:34,160
Speaker 2: hot smoke. I hated it.

670
00:34:34,200 --> 00:34:38,080
Speaker 6: And then we have LA's most notorious homeless encampments cleared

671
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:39,719
Speaker 6: out of four or five free. I don't know if

672
00:34:39,719 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 6: you guys touched on homeless today or not.

673
00:34:41,560 --> 00:34:42,880
Speaker 1: Oh have you ever seen that one?

674
00:34:43,080 --> 00:34:43,279
Speaker 4: Yeah?

675
00:34:44,080 --> 00:34:45,799
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's a disaster. Oh my god.

676
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:49,640
Speaker 6: But I love the one on Washington where half the

677
00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:52,000
Speaker 6: street under the freeway is Culver City, the other half

678
00:34:52,040 --> 00:34:55,040
Speaker 6: is La. Culver City is like the yellow brick road

679
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 6: in a Wizard of Odd, that.

680
00:34:56,760 --> 00:34:59,000
Speaker 1: One is, but then the other sides like the brown

681
00:34:59,040 --> 00:34:59,520
Speaker 1: brick road.

682
00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:03,879
Speaker 2: Yeah, in Venice, though both sides were bad.

683
00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: Yes, that's true. That was find all right? Conway said,

684
00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:11,320
