It's as fine an example of his gatekeeping efforts as exists.

Jacob has attacked Dan in the past, FYI -https://x.com/search?q=from%3AThoughtfulSaint Dan&src=typed_query&f=top

Seems to just be an idiotic Mike Lee thing.

This started with his response to Mike Lee stating that Nazis were "socialist" and agreeing with him -

It's an opinion based on my personal observations, man. Why you and Stargazer are so obsessed with my criticisms, or with defending Hansen for some reason, is completely beyond me. I don't know him personally, so I can't say I "don't like him," but I don't think he's very good at what he does and I don't think he has a firm grasp of many of the issues he tries to address. I'm sure you'll live through the tragedy of me criticizing his actions.

You suck at reading my mind.

Once again, you demonstrate how little you understand the lengths to which conmen will go to maintain their image as being in the right.

I'm not going to get into a lengthy debate about Jacob Hansen. I've interacted with him, I've argued with him about some of his more shallow assertions (e.g. Nazis were really "socialists" because the full name of the party was "National Socialist Party"), I've watched him harass Julie Hanks, and I've seen him engage in some of the worst bad faith polemics on social media (especially Twitter/X). He thrives off rage bait and he fancies himself a gatekeeper for the Church, in my opinion. If you enjoy his content, that's certainly your prerogative. I have formed my opinion over a number of years of direct observation and interaction and feel no need to revisit it in depth.

Part 2 is out. The grandiosity, the appeal to "conspiracy," the threats, the use of "God" to justify his actions. It's all part and parcel of the conman. The grift goes on.

Not really. I just have an opinion that might differ from yours. My observations are that Jacob likes to rage bait people, that he doesn't have in-depth knowledge of critical issues in Church History, and that when challenged he retreats into his sphere of control by saying "come on my show and debate me," which is a space where he can control the narrative. In my opinion, he is chasing clicks to monetize his Church membership and that leaves a bad taste in my mouth.

Jacob Hansen has never had an original thought of substance in his apologetic endeavors. Expecting him to solve the mystery of the Book of Abraham is nothing more than wishful thinking.

To say she was a less than credible narrator on this story would be a mild understatement.

Ahhhh, there you are! Surprised it took you so long to chime in!

Indeed. I should have marked my comment as sarcasm.
