This week on Halloween Spooktacular, we tell the story of how Steven and I first met and how we became a couple. Plus, we talk about Corey Feldman, the Trump Dossier, and more!
00:03:40.000And, by the way, for people watching, we also, your costumes, you can still, we've had a couple, but you can still submit some more costumes.
00:03:46.000A lot of the crowd are themed costumes.
00:03:47.000Winner gets an autographed t-shirt from Not Gay Jared.
00:03:50.000Just so you know, Kevin Sorbo had to be pre-taped.
00:03:52.000That's why it looks different, because we had to tape him this morning.
00:04:42.000What's the question of the day, by the way?
00:04:44.000I forgot to, because usually when we do a segment, I guess the question of the day, we're going to be talking more so about Trump and Russia.
00:04:52.000How deafening would you say, in contrast, the media's coverage of it has been?
00:05:07.000Comment down below if you notice the contrast between the treatment of Donald Trump in Russia, supposedly, and the DNC in Russia, actually.
00:06:14.000Bill O'Reilly said this week, there's just no way to move on, that he was mad at God, quote, over not providing more protection for him from the recent sexual harassment allegations.
00:06:25.000Which actually, it makes a lot of sense.
00:06:26.000It explains his latest book release, Killing God.
00:08:22.000Well, there's no need to say anything.
00:08:24.000Speaking of sweet nothings, Corey Feldman launched a campaign to expose Hollywood pedophilia.
00:08:32.000First off, before we set this up, because there are critics and it's not that we think anyone should be a pedophile in Hollywood, and I do feel bad for Corey Feldman, but this is his video that he released on Twitter.
00:10:10.000Well, the thing, maybe in, I saw the wife swap, he was trying to act like Hugh Hefner in it, he had these, you know, these love angels, he called them.
00:12:11.000And actually, I'm going to release all of the evidence, as well as my personal account, my upcoming memoir, which people can support at my GoFundMe, gofundme.com slash weekend and Corey's.
00:12:20.000No, no, I'm the only one here who needs the funding.
00:12:23.000And I'm looking to raise about $10 million, Stephen.
00:12:50.000First, let's set this up, because you've been following this as well.
00:12:53.000The most central proof, for those who don't know, and this is where the question was, if you watch CNN, if you still have cable, have you heard about the Trump-Russia dossier and its relation to the DNC? And how much?
00:13:53.000It's the question of whether Russian intervention into U.S. politics, into high-level, top-level U.S. politics, whether it stopped during the campaign.
00:14:01.000Or whether it is still happening right now inside our government.
00:14:04.000I think she has a Russian hairstylist.
00:14:17.000I mean, do you think they, like, fly people over and had them vote in the elections the way they frame it?
00:14:25.000Like, they actually voted in your place.
00:14:28.000Well, it's funny that you say that, because it turns out, then the Washington Post broke the story, this just broke this week, that the Clinton campaign and the DNC had actually funded the Trump dossier.
00:14:36.000The Hillary Clinton campaign and the DNC. What exactly did they do?
00:14:41.000Well, I mean, they have a lawyer, and that lawyer went about looking to hire research firms.
00:14:48.000One of the firms that they hired was this company in Washington called Fusion GPS. Fusion GPS, in turn, subcontracted out to Christopher Steele, the former British intelligence officer, to help get information about Trump's relationships in Russia.
00:15:04.000Those reports that Chris Steele produced...
00:15:08.000We're then passed back to the lawyer who was representing the Clinton campaign.
00:15:12.000What we don't really know is how that information was then relayed to the campaign.
00:15:18.000Our understanding from talking to people who are close to the matter is that those actual steel reports were not directly handed to the campaign.
00:15:26.000So we don't really quite understand how the information was passed, who got the information, and obviously we want to know what they did with that information after they received it.
00:17:07.000So now there are lawsuits, by the way, being brought against Steele.
00:17:10.000Like I said, secret agent man himself.
00:17:13.000Court documents have revealed that Fusion GPS was feeding the Trump-Russia narrative to The Washington Post, Yahoo News, New York Times, New Yorker, and CNN even before the election in, get this, face-to-face meetings with journalists.
00:17:26.000It wasn't just like an email that might have been hacked with WikiLeaks and Podesta talking about meeting behind a pizza parlor.
00:18:02.000So, now, we can't say there's definitive proof to put anyone behind bars in this case, but no corroboration at all as far as Mr.
00:18:10.000Trump's involvement, but we have tons of evidence that directly refutes the allegations against President Donald Trump, and that is important considering how the media has taken the ball.
00:18:20.000The New York Times even went on to admit some of the dossier's claims have been challenged with supporting evidence.
00:18:29.000Trump's longtime personal lawyer, Michael D. Cohen, produced to rebut the dossier's claim that had secret meetings in Prague with a Russian official last year.
00:18:51.000I mean, once you prove one of these things false in this article, doesn't that pretty much call into question everything else that they're claiming, especially the golden shower?
00:19:15.000The DNC and Hillary Clinton's campaign lawyer directly hired a research firm with ties to Putin in Russia to create a falsified report full of information obtained from the Kremlin to influence the 2016 election and to subsequently delegitimize President Trump.
00:19:28.000You know, their god and hero, Saul Alinsky, would be like, you know, I told you to accuse your putt of doing exactly what you're doing.
00:23:59.000Why are so many living so high on the hog when others are left clearly without mud club?
00:24:09.000Try Mug Club completely free of charge for the entire month of October at louderwithcrowder.com slash mugclub.
00:24:15.000That's a full three-month trial of Mug Club at louderwithcrowder.com slash mugclub, because anything else would be a violation of human rights.
00:24:44.000All right, a horrible intro, but for a very lovely lady.
00:25:44.000Right, so I first of all find it, I'm such an idiot because I should always record these things on my end, and I always forget, it was a few months ago actually or something that I did this interview, and I was just like, oh whatever, I'll just do a fun interview.
00:25:58.000He mentions at the beginning of the video that he put on this queer shirt to try and trigger me.
00:26:03.000I don't think I could even see it in the interview we were doing.
00:26:07.000You could see the queer, just not the shirt, right.
00:26:18.000One part where I talk about Jared Taylor.
00:26:20.000And he had asked me what I think the limit is for censorship on YouTube.
00:26:25.000And I was telling him, well, you know what, sometimes you see videos where it's just people yelling racial slurs, just yelling the N-word or anything.
00:26:33.000And that's kind of That's like graffiti.
00:26:39.000It's not someone trying to portray something.
00:26:42.000And it's not really censorship to get rid of graffiti.
00:26:44.000I still think it should be allowed, but I'd understand if YouTube got rid of it.
00:26:47.000However, instead of those videos being taken down, what you're seeing is YouTube sandboxing people like Jared Taylor, who...
00:26:54.000Hate him, disagree with him, whatever, fine, but he's actually making an argument and not just screaming racial slurs.
00:27:01.000So he just cut that part of me saying, Jared Taylor is just making an argument.
00:27:07.000I can't believe YouTube's censoring him instead of putting it in contrast with me saying this whole other stuff about it.
00:27:15.000He made me look pretty stupid in a few of those parts.
00:27:18.000I wondered why you would do it because the one thing is we know, and this isn't an insult to your intelligence, but I was like, oh, I wish you hadn't done it because I could have told you that was going to happen.
00:27:27.000This is a guy who refuses to debate ever.
00:27:29.000If it were someone who had a track record of debating, someone you disagree with, and you show up live in real time, but do you think looking back now, you probably won't do that in the future where they have all of the control?
00:27:41.000Looking back, I'm going to record the entire thing from my end and upload it because I made, honestly, I think I did a really good job representing us, but if you're cutting out every second word I say, well, you're going to be able to make it look like I'm saying anything, just like they did in this video.
00:28:17.000And so that's why I was sitting there going, oh man.
00:28:20.000You know, Andrew Breitbart was a guy, as a good example, was always willing to get in and stand and bang and trade.
00:28:24.000But he always said, listen, if you have no control over the medium at all, don't put yourself in a position where they can make your argument for you.
00:28:31.000And I could see them doing that with you when I watched this.
00:28:34.000I didn't realize until halfway through the video.
00:28:58.000What I did find interesting about this video, though, is I think they're getting smarter.
00:29:02.000He kind of portrayed it in a very sneaky way, where he was trying to be super reasonable, but the end conclusion was still, all of these people are far right and they need to be censored.
00:29:12.000But he made it more reasonable, so usually those kind of videos have extreme dislikes on them.
00:29:20.000They've gotten a lot more sneaky and smart about how they're implementing or promoting their censorship.
00:29:26.000Well, I think they probably see, like you've talked about, Jared, the like-to-dislike ratio, and they have to try and be less bleak.
00:29:32.000I think Vox has always been very sneaky.
00:29:33.000I think they've always been very good at hiding their arguments and manipulating statistical information and manipulating data to present their arguments.
00:29:40.000Like the gun control video we debunked.
00:29:56.000I'm just going to go on anywhere that will provide a platform.
00:29:59.000And then you realize, as you become more popular, I don't have enough time in the day to do it.
00:30:04.000And you have to make sure it's a platform where they can't totally manipulate what it is that you say.
00:30:09.000As long as you have a platform to present your ideas...
00:30:12.000Win, lose, or draw, you know, you can sleep at night.
00:30:14.000Unfortunately, Vox has no interest in doing that, which is so funny because in that video, he says, you know, they have no duty to fact check independent bloggers or face up to debate.
00:31:50.000And I think it's especially important with the left because, you know, we see this all the time, whether it's Bernie Sanders or the Young Turks, they see, or we saw this with Bernie exactly, where he said, here are the facts, a majority of, as though a poll is a fact.
00:32:03.000And so the left believes that if a majority of people want something, It is therefore democracy, ergo it is the right argument.
00:32:09.000And right now, their arguments as it relates to free speech, as it relates to open speech online, I should say, I hate to use the term free speech because First Amendment businesses, it gets complicated.
00:32:20.000And that's the first time for them when their whole worldview is based on this pseudo-populism, it's tough to realize that most people don't agree with you.
00:32:29.000Yeah, and one thing I would like to bring up with you, because they say independent vloggers have no incentive to fact check.
00:32:35.000I actually think it's different because you've apologized, and I know I've apologized sometimes for getting things wrong, and the reason is because your audience calls you on it, so you have more of an incentive than anyone.
00:32:45.000Well, we don't have these one individual with an agenda that's just backing us with whatever amount of millions of dollars like Vox has.
00:32:53.000They really don't have an incentive to back check when the public don't have to hold them accountable.
00:32:58.000The public can scream and whine as much as they want and they can get as much dislikes as they want and they'll still have their millions backing them.
00:34:16.000People are always welcome on this show.
00:34:17.000I would love to see you and him actually have a conversation in real time because I think that would be really interesting where you could maybe ask him about the things that he didn't include with your interview.
00:34:28.000I wouldn't bet on it, but I'd love to see that.
00:34:30.000Where's the best place for people to find you so they can actually watch your independent content, Lauren?
00:34:49.000And now for Barely Legal with Bill Richmond, sponsored by Mug Club. .
00:35:09.000Hi, I'm Bill Richmond, the half-Asian lawyer with Louder with Crowder, here to help clear up confusion and dispel myths regarding commonly misunderstood legal terms.
00:35:18.000We have a question this week from Dan from Mississippi.
00:35:21.000Dan asks, Bill, last week, I couldn't tell whether we were talking about being liable or the term liable because of your thick half-Asian accent.
00:35:49.000By comparison, libel is the written communication of false statements that harm the reputation of another.
00:35:56.000It falls under the umbrella of defamation.
00:35:59.000The other version of defamation is spoken or oral, and it's called slander.
00:36:03.000So, if I were to come to your house and tell your family that you have the same amount of IQ points as you do teeth in your head, and if that weren't true, that might be slander.
00:36:13.000I hope I've cleared up that confusion for you, and for Louder with Crowder, cheers.
00:36:19.000This has been Barely Legal with Bill Richmond.
00:37:13.000Speaking of men and not men, I grew up, I watched you as Hercules, and I don't know if you remember, I don't know if it was a spinoff or had anything to do with your show, but in Canada, then there was young Hercules, and it was Ryan Gosling.
00:41:00.000So I'm not going to worry about it and think, oh my gosh, my career is over.
00:41:05.000Because I knew I wanted to be an actor anyway.
00:41:06.000The whole modeling thing, only because I was dating a model at the time.
00:41:10.000I was going to move to L.A. from Minnesota, but this was a sidetrack to my life, which I don't regret, because I've got to spend three and a half years in Europe.
00:41:16.000And it was kind of cool to see how socialism can destroy countries.
00:41:20.000I was raised in Montreal, and Nat KJ was just there for the first time recently.
00:41:58.000No, no, and that's what I appreciate about you.
00:42:00.000Because you have these other celebrities out now who talk about the sexual harassment, but they talk about it as though it's traumatic, and then they don't name names.
00:42:07.000Whereas you, you were very nonchalant about it.
00:42:09.000You're like, yeah, listen, this happened.
00:42:11.000Versace, if I'd have let him, would have reached up, grabbed my balls.
00:42:36.000Well, I think, yeah, I think it's, I just think it's funny how, I mean, I'm sure that I'm going to get people coming at me now and I'm going to laugh at it because it's a joke.
00:42:57.000So it was, it was, I just thought, I just think it's kind of funny, but you know, they're going to take anything.
00:43:02.000If you have a different point of view, if you're a conservative, and they're going to blow it up and make it look like, even though they'll do the same thing, but it's okay if they do it.
00:43:10.000But I do wonder why now they bring it up.
00:43:13.000Like you said, if it's in your book, why didn't anyone care back then?
00:43:16.000Was it just because, you know, straight, white, tall male, you think?
00:43:30.000Hey, final question before I want to move on to the other projects.
00:43:32.000I've heard this, you know, having been an actor for a good portion of my life before I started doing stand-up, that more male models are straight than actors.
00:43:42.000It's actually rare for male models to be gay.
00:43:53.000I don't know what the stats are, but I don't disagree with that because almost pretty much every single guy that I met over in Europe, in Italy, in France, in London, wherever, as far as I knew, they were straight.
00:44:07.000There was only one guy that told me after about a year, he goes, by the way, I'm gay.
00:44:46.000Look, I grew up watching I Dream of Jeannie, and I met Barb Reardon years ago, and I told her I was only like seven when I watched his show, and I knew I'd have no problem with my sexual identities.
00:45:07.000Tell us about your, we don't have a ton of time, but your latest project, you know, Let There Be Light.
00:45:11.000A lot of people now who are younger, who maybe weren't introduced to you with your previous work like Hercules, this is kind of how they've come to know you in a lot of faith-based works.
00:49:26.000Available exclusively at louderwithcrowdershop.com, mug clubbers are almost never beaten up for wearing a long-sleeved socialism is for fags t-shirt.

00:49:45.000Get yours now at louderwithcrowdershop.com.
00:54:07.000A little unusual, but I said, okay, let's talk more.
00:54:10.000I said, hey, figure out if we're going to do this, figure out how you get a little revenue stream, and we'll try to get a few words out to America.
00:55:32.000Neither the sexual immoral, the idolaters, the adulterers, the male prostitutes, the homosexual offenders, thieves, greedy, drunkards, slanderers, or swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
00:57:09.000It just seems as though this was, again, selective outrage.
00:57:12.000The magazine writer, I think it was GQ, it might have been Esquire, I don't know, decided, oh, this is, I'm going to avoid swindlers and thieves.
00:57:19.000And regardless of people even watching right now, whether they agree or not, said, Oh, I'm going to pick the outrage today that Phil Robertson has a problem with homosexuals.
00:57:27.000No one who would have watched the show, this is why I think it's so important for people to see your show and subscribe there at CRTV, no one who watched Duck Dynasty was offended by it.
00:57:40.000You have to remember, what's amazing is everyone was shocked after all the smoke cleared because they said, Mr.
00:57:47.000Robertson, did you hear from any group The other nine groups, ten sins, but only the homosexuals hollered, and I was thinking, well, it looked like Washington D.C. would have called me swindlers, slanderers, but they didn't call, so I'm thinking, well, maybe I didn't hit them all.
00:58:22.000How is it different from Duck Dynasty?
00:58:24.000Because obviously that's this major network where whether you guys want to say things or not, it's pretty apparent now there were things that they didn't want to be broadcast.
00:58:32.000What can people expect when you just go into the woods?
00:58:34.000Are you just going to shoot stuff and say things?
00:58:36.000No, this could be a little more intense.
00:58:40.000In our culture today, there's so many divorces, there's so many broken homes.
00:58:47.000Miss Kay and I, every day, deal with people that I noticed Trump today is declaring war on people on opioids.
00:58:55.000Well, Miss Kay and I, we deal, we go to the rehabs, to the prisons, and to all the people who come from All over the nation, they drive down, they hitchhike down, they get on a bus and come down.
00:59:11.000We counsel them and we try to get them to where they turn away from drug use, OPRs, heroin, crystal meth.
00:59:20.000So on an ongoing basis, these are the people we work with.
00:59:25.000We point them to Jesus and say, look, You can be forgiven.
01:04:30.000It just reminded me, you know, being as fat as Harvey Weinstein and the floating problem, when I was a kid, you remember those, like, floaty belts?
01:04:47.000Like, they were the most dangerous thing I can think of.
01:04:50.000I remember as a kid, you'd have to kind of swing yourself, tip over, and then you're upside down with your legs kicking, and there's no way to get back.
01:05:34.000He was sitting right at, he was priority boarding and seated right at the, look at the drape, the dividing line between first class and him.
01:05:43.000And you know that's a point of pride for him.
01:05:44.000He's basically in first class without the snacks.
01:09:02.000And like you said, 10 minutes from the, less than 10 minutes when we stopped at that place to exchange, you know, exchange monies, they didn't speak a word of English.
01:10:00.000And that's the big difference between, you know, when people talk about, I just watched a debate recently, I can't remember who it was, they were talking about conservatism versus liberalism.
01:10:07.000You know, going back to Quebec, to Montreal, great food, some beautiful areas, but you would probably say, being there, I would have much more in common being raised with someone from Europe than most kids in the United States.
01:10:50.000It's one of those issues, these people have never thought of it.
01:10:52.000And that's why I always say, it goes back to any time people get in debates, whether it's Ted Cruz and Bernie Sanders or recently, I can't remember who it was, some kind of a YouTube debate, saying, well, actually, people in these countries, when asked, much prefer their health care.
01:11:03.000Well, yeah, but these people also are paying 16% sales tax, and they're still paying for 70% of the drugs they want.
01:11:09.000If you ask anyone, if you ask someone in Quebec saying, hey, are you happy you're not speaking English?
01:11:13.000Are you happy that you've never been to the United States of America?
01:11:16.000A majority of them are going to say yes.
01:11:49.000When a guy came up when we were there, a few people who came up who were fans, we thought, oh no, Montreal, this is for sure they're going to be trying to punch us or something.
01:11:55.000And they were the most passionate fans.
01:11:57.000They were like, man, listen, I know, man, I know.
01:11:59.000I mean, no one here, my family doesn't get it.
01:13:52.000And so actually, the government makes more revenue in taxes when you give people the freedom to choose what they can do with their own dollars.
01:13:58.000She's like, oh, I never think of it like that.
01:14:01.000You know, I want to travel so much, but I never think.
01:15:13.000They've never thought of these issues, these kids in college.
01:15:16.000They've never thought of where a right comes from.
01:15:17.000People in Quebec have never thought about the fact that when you give people more freedom, you can actually make more taxes and revenue.
01:15:22.000People in Quebec have never thought of the fact that it is absolutely, here is something, morally reprehensible for Canada to rely on the United States for its national defense.
01:15:33.000When we talk about North Korea and if they could have a missile hit United States mainland, well, before that, Canada.
01:15:49.000They can have socialized healthcare at 52% income tax and paying for 70% of the drugs that you want, because they, which is morally completely repugnant, depend on the United States for their national security, and no one thinks of it.
01:16:48.000And that is the one thing I could not get past.
01:16:50.000Bernie Sanders, the arrogance of wanting to take my stuff.
01:16:52.000I was looking at him, just seething over this on the plane, then landing in Canada, in a land of people who think they're entitled to take your stuff.
01:17:00.000And if you say, hold on, hold on, hold on, don't take my stuff, they call the United States arrogant.
01:17:05.000And you don't need to feel guilty about that.
01:17:07.000We get people all the time, well, you know, I travel abroad and I'm afraid because they don't like Americans.
01:17:11.000You know why they don't like Americans?
01:17:13.000Because they rely on us for everything.
01:17:14.000For medical innovations, for national security.
