1
00:00:06,309 --> 00:00:04,470
i am uh not a criminal i i haven't been

2
00:00:07,749 --> 00:00:06,319
convicted of any criminal offense in my

3
00:00:09,910 --> 00:00:07,759
life

4
00:00:11,430 --> 00:00:09,920
um you know it kind of stayed out of

5
00:00:14,310 --> 00:00:11,440
trouble right

6
00:00:17,269 --> 00:00:14,320
um now like anybody i've got some dirt

7
00:00:18,870 --> 00:00:17,279
in my past everybody does um and people

8
00:00:21,189 --> 00:00:18,880
have tried to twist something that

9
00:00:23,269 --> 00:00:21,199
happened to me

10
00:00:24,470 --> 00:00:23,279
you know 10 years ago and making me the

11
00:00:25,750 --> 00:00:24,480
bad guy

12
00:00:27,189 --> 00:00:25,760
you know these people that want to

13
00:00:28,470 --> 00:00:27,199
discredit you they're going to find

14
00:00:30,470 --> 00:00:28,480
something if

15
00:00:32,950 --> 00:00:30,480
it's not criminal you know maybe they'll

16
00:00:35,590 --> 00:00:32,960
dig up an old girlfriend that'll say you

17
00:00:38,869 --> 00:00:35,600
were abusive to her or whatever we see

18
00:00:42,150 --> 00:00:38,879
this sort of cancel culture is out the

19
00:00:44,069 --> 00:00:42,160
wazoo now it's easy to discredit people

20
00:00:45,350 --> 00:00:44,079
it's easy to discredit people and it's

21
00:00:49,270 --> 00:00:45,360
easy to

22
00:00:50,950 --> 00:00:49,280
turn people against people right

23
00:00:53,110 --> 00:00:50,960
um and also

24
00:00:55,670 --> 00:00:53,120
i just want to give a word of caution to

25
00:00:57,110 --> 00:00:55,680
everybody that is you know saying well

26
00:00:59,430 --> 00:00:57,120
hey one of these background check

27
00:01:01,430 --> 00:00:59,440
companies the information from

28
00:01:02,470 --> 00:01:01,440
background check companies is often

29
00:01:04,950 --> 00:01:02,480
terrible

30
00:01:08,230 --> 00:01:04,960
they conflate different people into one

31
00:01:10,789 --> 00:01:08,240
report i got burnt myself

32
00:01:12,149 --> 00:01:10,799
uh in a situation where you know i

33
00:01:13,990 --> 00:01:12,159
thought somebody had all these criminal

34
00:01:15,910 --> 00:01:14,000
convictions it turns out it wasn't him

35
00:01:18,230 --> 00:01:15,920
but a same name

36
00:01:20,070 --> 00:01:18,240
somebody with the same name as him

37
00:01:21,109 --> 00:01:20,080
you gotta check the birth dates you

38
00:01:22,230 --> 00:01:21,119
gotta check

39
00:01:24,710 --> 00:01:22,240
you know

40
00:01:28,789 --> 00:01:24,720
it's very problematic

41
00:01:30,870 --> 00:01:28,799
for somebody to for example pay 40 for a

42
00:01:32,550 --> 00:01:30,880
background check on somebody and then

43
00:01:34,950 --> 00:01:32,560
run on the internet and say see that

44
00:01:37,270 --> 00:01:34,960
guy's a criminal what i would caution

45
00:01:39,830 --> 00:01:37,280
anybody is if you do that

46
00:01:42,389 --> 00:01:39,840
background check they're 40 or 50 on the

47
00:01:44,310 --> 00:01:42,399
internet you've got to find more sources

48
00:01:46,069 --> 00:01:44,320
so once you get the background check if

49
00:01:48,069 --> 00:01:46,079
it says somebody is a criminal you

50
00:01:50,710 --> 00:01:48,079
better call the court

51
00:01:52,469 --> 00:01:50,720
uh that that criminal case was resolved

52
00:01:55,190 --> 00:01:52,479
in and verify

53
00:01:57,670 --> 00:01:55,200
that person's name date of birth

54
00:01:59,350 --> 00:01:57,680
whatever you can to make sure that that

55
00:02:00,389 --> 00:01:59,360
information in the background check is

56
00:02:02,389 --> 00:02:00,399
accurate

57
00:02:05,830 --> 00:02:02,399
i'm not supporting or defending

58
00:02:07,510 --> 00:02:05,840
anybody's past criminal activity however

59
00:02:08,550 --> 00:02:07,520
i just want to caution everybody that

60
00:02:09,669 --> 00:02:08,560
those

61
00:02:11,510 --> 00:02:09,679
pay

62
00:02:12,869 --> 00:02:11,520
paid background checks there's tons of

63
00:02:14,710 --> 00:02:12,879
them on the internet

64
00:02:16,710 --> 00:02:14,720
go look up you know

65
00:02:20,550 --> 00:02:16,720
background check

66
00:02:23,350 --> 00:02:20,560
you'll find hundreds of companies that

67
00:02:25,670 --> 00:02:23,360
will give you a report on somebody

68
00:02:27,270 --> 00:02:25,680
and i used some of those i thought the

69
00:02:29,430 --> 00:02:27,280
one i was using was reputable but it

70
00:02:31,270 --> 00:02:29,440
turns out that they conflate two

71
00:02:32,630 --> 00:02:31,280
different people into one report and

72
00:02:34,869 --> 00:02:32,640
you're looking at this thinking that

73
00:02:36,630 --> 00:02:34,879
this person is the scum of the earth but

74
00:02:38,150 --> 00:02:36,640
it turns out it was somebody with a name

75
00:02:39,589 --> 00:02:38,160
similar to him that's the scum of the

76
00:02:41,509 --> 00:02:39,599
earth not him

77
00:02:43,509 --> 00:02:41,519
so you just have to be careful and

78
00:02:46,070 --> 00:02:43,519
especially when you're gonna

79
00:02:48,830 --> 00:02:46,080
call some you know reveal information

80
00:02:51,670 --> 00:02:48,840
about somebody you

81
00:02:54,309 --> 00:02:51,680
know i would not want to wrongly accuse

82
00:02:57,030 --> 00:02:54,319
somebody of being a criminal so for me

83
00:02:59,270 --> 00:02:57,040
i'm going to be very cautious

84
00:03:00,949 --> 00:02:59,280
about anything like that going forward i

85
00:03:02,830 --> 00:03:00,959
mean and the other thing is is it

86
00:03:04,710 --> 00:03:02,840
relevant you know for

87
00:03:06,869 --> 00:03:04,720
example um

88
00:03:09,430 --> 00:03:06,879
if somebody pled guilty to a fraud

89
00:03:11,589 --> 00:03:09,440
related offense and then they're selling

90
00:03:13,270 --> 00:03:11,599
fake information i think it's relevant

91
00:03:15,430 --> 00:03:13,280
to talk about that they're selling fake

92
00:03:17,589 --> 00:03:15,440
stories they're selling fake alien

93
00:03:19,110 --> 00:03:17,599
information that's not true

94
00:03:22,149 --> 00:03:19,120
and they have

95
00:03:23,030 --> 00:03:22,159
pled guilty to a fraud in their criminal

96
00:03:24,869 --> 00:03:23,040
past

97
00:03:25,750 --> 00:03:24,879
then i think it's relevant

98
00:03:28,390 --> 00:03:25,760
but

99
00:03:30,789 --> 00:03:28,400
just because somebody asks inconvenient

100
00:03:32,789 --> 00:03:30,799
questions to lou elizondo

101
00:03:34,229 --> 00:03:32,799
maybe some people who are asking

102
00:03:37,270 --> 00:03:34,239
questions had

103
00:03:39,190 --> 00:03:37,280
some kind of you know problem with uh

104
00:03:40,710 --> 00:03:39,200
an arrest in their past it doesn't

105
00:03:43,110 --> 00:03:40,720
automatically

106
00:03:47,110 --> 00:03:43,120
i guess i i would take each situation on

107
00:03:50,869 --> 00:03:47,120
a case-by-case basis right but to go

108
00:03:53,670 --> 00:03:50,879
throwing around terms like wife beater

109
00:03:54,390 --> 00:03:53,680
um when it's not you know i would never

110
00:03:57,589 --> 00:03:54,400
do

111
00:04:00,309 --> 00:03:57,599
what this uh lou from ucr did in fact i

112
00:04:03,030 --> 00:04:00,319
think he handled it extremely poorly if

113
00:04:05,509 --> 00:04:03,040
an anonymous person came to me or not

114
00:04:07,509 --> 00:04:05,519
anonymous let's say if any of you a show

115
00:04:09,429 --> 00:04:07,519
viewer came to me

116
00:04:11,270 --> 00:04:09,439
and i was having a guest

117
00:04:13,190 --> 00:04:11,280
you know we'll just use goofon for an

118
00:04:14,789 --> 00:04:13,200
example goofon was coming here and one

119
00:04:17,110 --> 00:04:14,799
of my viewers said

120
00:04:19,749 --> 00:04:17,120
ask him if he beats women or was

121
00:04:22,230 --> 00:04:19,759
arrested for beating women

122
00:04:24,310 --> 00:04:22,240
i would first of all i would say

123
00:04:26,230 --> 00:04:24,320
do you have i would ask that person do

124
00:04:28,230 --> 00:04:26,240
you have evidence that this is true i'm

125
00:04:29,670 --> 00:04:28,240
not just gonna ask because even asking

126
00:04:32,469 --> 00:04:29,680
that question

127
00:04:34,469 --> 00:04:32,479
is throwing shade on that person

128
00:04:37,909 --> 00:04:34,479
what i would have done in this situation

129
00:04:39,749 --> 00:04:37,919
with that lou from ucr was in is he knew

130
00:04:42,469 --> 00:04:39,759
that that was a question people wanted

131
00:04:44,230 --> 00:04:42,479
asked before his interview i would have

132
00:04:46,390 --> 00:04:44,240
done the background check and checked

133
00:04:47,590 --> 00:04:46,400
with the courts and if i had found a

134
00:04:49,990 --> 00:04:47,600
conviction

135
00:04:52,870 --> 00:04:50,000
for that then i would ask him

136
00:04:54,629 --> 00:04:52,880
but i wouldn't just ask a random guest

137
00:04:56,390 --> 00:04:54,639
if they beat women that was

138
00:04:58,790 --> 00:04:56,400
cringe-worthy

139
00:05:01,110 --> 00:04:58,800
in his defense i have to be fair to this

140
00:05:03,990 --> 00:05:01,120
lou from ucr

141
00:05:06,070 --> 00:05:04,000
he's not a journalist and neither am i

142
00:05:09,350 --> 00:05:06,080
i'm very fortunate though and that i do

143
00:05:11,909 --> 00:05:09,360
happen to know a few real journalists

144
00:05:13,990 --> 00:05:11,919
so if i'm not sure how to handle a

145
00:05:15,749 --> 00:05:14,000
situation like that i can pick up the

146
00:05:17,430 --> 00:05:15,759
phone and ask

147
00:05:20,469 --> 00:05:17,440
at least two different people that are

148
00:05:22,870 --> 00:05:20,479
real writers in newspapers real

149
00:05:25,110 --> 00:05:22,880
journalists like how what's the proper

150
00:05:27,430 --> 00:05:25,120
or the ethical way to handle this

151
00:05:30,790 --> 00:05:27,440
situation i don't want to not ask the

152
00:05:32,710 --> 00:05:30,800
questions that my viewers want asked but

153
00:05:34,070 --> 00:05:32,720
when you get into life beating and

154
00:05:35,830 --> 00:05:34,080
criminality

155
00:05:37,830 --> 00:05:35,840
i think that's a big

156
00:05:39,590 --> 00:05:37,840
it's a big you know

157
00:05:41,909 --> 00:05:39,600
it's it's a can of worms that you

158
00:05:44,230 --> 00:05:41,919
shouldn't open unless you have to

159
00:05:47,270 --> 00:05:44,240
lu from ucr could have just as easily

160
00:05:48,870 --> 00:05:47,280
went did some research and found out if

161
00:05:51,110 --> 00:05:48,880
there's any proof

162
00:05:53,350 --> 00:05:51,120
to these claims that people have made

163
00:05:55,590 --> 00:05:53,360
about that person before asking the

164
00:05:57,830 --> 00:05:55,600
question and i think

165
00:05:59,990 --> 00:05:57,840
had he done his due diligence and done

166
00:06:02,150 --> 00:06:00,000
the work

167
00:06:03,909 --> 00:06:02,160
and then asked a question because there

168
00:06:07,510 --> 00:06:03,919
was something there

169
00:06:09,270 --> 00:06:07,520
in his past okay but to just ask a guy

170
00:06:11,430 --> 00:06:09,280
if he beats women

171
00:06:13,590 --> 00:06:11,440
and what is the evidence he may have

172
00:06:14,870 --> 00:06:13,600
posted something sometime

173
00:06:17,029 --> 00:06:14,880
years ago

174
00:06:19,270 --> 00:06:17,039
saying something like if a woman

175
00:06:21,029 --> 00:06:19,280
be you know punched me i would be i

176
00:06:22,710 --> 00:06:21,039
would punch her back

177
00:06:24,550 --> 00:06:22,720
that doesn't mean the guy's a wife

178
00:06:27,110 --> 00:06:24,560
beater a criminal conviction for

179
00:06:28,469 --> 00:06:27,120
domestic assault means he's probably

180
00:06:29,830 --> 00:06:28,479
what you know

181
00:06:32,790 --> 00:06:29,840
this whole

182
00:06:35,189 --> 00:06:32,800
situation is ridiculous and again

183
00:06:38,150 --> 00:06:35,199
i'm trying to be fair to this luke from

184
00:06:39,590 --> 00:06:38,160
ucr but what i will say is that guy does

185
00:06:42,950 --> 00:06:39,600
nothing but talk

186
00:06:45,029 --> 00:06:42,960
say whatever they want oh he did that

187
00:06:48,309 --> 00:06:45,039
big phone home he's

188
00:06:50,629 --> 00:06:48,319
he's a champion of disclosure [\h__\h]

189
00:06:53,670 --> 00:06:50,639
[\h__\h] for a few years now that guy

190
00:06:56,950 --> 00:06:53,680
has sat there and talked he does no

191
00:07:01,830 --> 00:06:56,960
research he does no investigatory work

192
00:07:03,510 --> 00:07:01,840
he has not broken a single story

193
00:07:05,670 --> 00:07:03,520
doing his show

194
00:07:08,469 --> 00:07:05,680
and i'm not trying to toot my own horn

195
00:07:11,430 --> 00:07:08,479
here but you can see that i have a

196
00:07:13,350 --> 00:07:11,440
pattern of breaking new information of

197
00:07:15,430 --> 00:07:13,360
bringing people you know of

198
00:07:17,749 --> 00:07:15,440
investigating something and then

199
00:07:19,990 --> 00:07:17,759
reporting on what i found through my

200
00:07:21,990 --> 00:07:20,000
investigation and again not to throw

201
00:07:24,230 --> 00:07:22,000
shade on this guy but he does nothing

202
00:07:27,270 --> 00:07:24,240

not doing anything

206
00:07:37,830 --> 00:07:34,319

00:07:41,510 --> 00:07:37,840

00:07:43,589 --> 00:07:41,520
