"Oh I can't go there. Yeah no totally and like I get it look I mean no wants one to be called a racist sexist bigot homophobe anti -semite whatever I mean I mean no one wants to be called that like it's necessarily an unpleasant thing but you know the left is they have ways it both on this one Lisa when it comes to kind of you know large Jewish donors in particular you know Sheldon Adelson passed away a couple years ago before he passed away he was a major donor to conservative Republican Party causes oftentimes pro -israel -zionist causes Paul Singer is a current Jewish billionaire who also donates to many similar causes and you know the left criticizes these guys all the time right for having kind of size influence but you know somehow then when a conservative criticizes Soros then you're anti -semitic I mean it just doesn't make sense I mean and that's holding aside many people don't even know that George Soros is Jewish I mean you know he frankly just to be very you know kind of blunt here doesn't have a very stereotypically sounding Jewish name many people criticize because he's a pretty evil man and then they're told that he's Jewish and they're like oh I actually didn't even know that so I mean this whole thing frankly just stinks to high heaven and I think the the idea here for Jews against Soros is again just a cobble together a lot of Jewish American patriots who oppose Soros's agenda and you know what's interesting Lisa it's actually not just Jewish Americans the Israeli government actually the Netanyahu government in Israel despises George Soros because he funds lots of causes that the Israeli government hates as well so actually the Netanyahu government's minister who handles anti -semitism is a man by the name of Amichai Sheekley and you know he defended Elon Musk recently after Elon Musk criticized Soros.

Frank Gaffney Unpacks the Durham Report and the Deep State
"I don't know that we want to dismiss this Durham report too quickly. In other words, he has been very, very slow and methodical and has come out with this. And now the question is, of course, what's going to be done. But you were talking about the court of public opinion. Part of this, these things need to settle. The new narrative needs to kind of find its way through the culture. But I think when you have the main networks reporting on this, that's just not a small thing. They're reporting on it, but I'm not sure that it is advancing the public understanding as much as they're emphasizing that there's nothing to see here, folks, because nobody's being prosecuted. In fact, there's a lot to see here. As you went through the litany of things that he found, even if he didn't prosecute anybody for having done those bad things, they are bad things. Now first of all, when you say nobody's being prosecuted, why is nobody being prosecuted? What am I missing? I'm not entirely clear. Is that his job? Is that Durham's job? Yeah. So why would somebody like three different charges against individuals? Maybe more charges, but three individuals. He was able to put one away with a slap on the wrist, I guess, mostly. And then two walked. And I don't know whether that had something to do with the feeling that he was not going to be able to prosecute anybody else successfully and therefore he wasn't going to do it or whether the theories that the deep state got to him. But he officially said as he puts out this report yesterday that we are not seeking any further invest in any criminal prosecutions as I understand it. The case is closed now. So that is confusing to me. I have to say. Well, and I think it's confusing. A lot of the American people as well. And that's why I say, if this is indeed the beginning of a new kind of prosecution in the court of public opinion and it's all about educating the American people as to this double standard, as to, and you put it so well. As usual, the evil that is amidst us.

What Is Justice Good For?
"Justice? What is it good for? Justice sets a standard. Just this is more than punishment, justice is moral clarity. One of the worst things a person can do, one of the worst things a person can do is abuse collective power for their own personal opinion or objective. To use the FBI for a political purpose is evil. If you evil for Republican did it or a democratic, they're basically using taxpayer funded what is supposed to be neutral to go after a candidate they don't like. And they did it full court press. They went after it. They went from Pfizer warrants. And remember Chuck E. Schumer told us that this was coming. To Rachel maddow he said, if you go after the Intel agencies, they got 6 ways to Sunday to get back at you. So what happens when the government lies to you? Goes after political dissidents, covers it up, lies about it again. What happens? What is the consequence? Oh, I strongly worded report. The consequences, a 300 page detailed report. And yeah, it is a scathing report. Who is going to go to jail? And the answer, the clarion call to the unelected. To the fourth branch of government, the bureaucracy that Leviathan is you can get away with it. Ladies and gentlemen, let me make an argument for you right now. If John Durham or any one of these people would have went after Peter struck stroke smirk and even failed in court, I do not know if Tony blinken and those 50 Intel officials would have signed on to that fake letter with Hunter Biden's own enthusiastically. I don't know if these sort of games would have continued unchecked. You see, they're just going to do it again. What is going to prevent these people from doing this in 2024? What's going to prevent them from launching another investigation? When you do not have consequences, when you do not have a check and balance, when you do not have a stop it, time out, handcuffs, prison time. How about just the pension curtailment? I mean,

Rejecting the "Spirit of Timidity" With Eric Metaxas
"Do you feel as if the church is getting more courageous or less courageous over the last year, year and a half? Well, Romans 8 28, all things work together for good for those that love the lord and call according to his purposes. What does it mean? It means that as things get more and more and more obviously horrible and openly satanic, the good news is that's what it takes to wake up some people who otherwise would continue to sleep forever and have been asleep forever. When you see things getting this bad, fill in the dots. I mean, fill in the blanks. You know what those things are everywhere we look. It's disaster. It is open evil. That is finally waking some people up. And the reason I keep saying that I wrote the book letter to the American church is to reason with the person who isn't already there to say like, what do you say to this? Most people who read the book they get convicted, they realize, you know what? I just hadn't heard this. I live in an America where we don't, we don't mix faith in politics and I didn't understand I had this preposterous inoculation against the idea of it. And I avoid people like Charlie Kirk and Eric, I've avoided you because you've gotten too political. They're completely theologically wrong. If you can persuade them, wait a minute. Can you take another look at this? Often they're convicted. And then they say, what can I do? And the first thing I say is either give the book to your pastor and say, I want to talk to you about this in two weeks. And if they are not interested in it for the love of God, find another church. Do not continue going to and giving to a church that is looking the other way because you are being complicit in evil. Globalist atheist monsters are aggressively trying to take over this nation in the world, and if you look the other way, if you do nothing, all those who suffer are suffering because of your inaction and your silence, the church has to understand, we have unique responsibility and calling from God. It ought to be a privilege for us to do something about it.

Eric Metaxas: "Satanic Evil Rules and Reigns in Periods"
"I have, we're basically looming on the edge of the apocalypse. And I'm not exaggerating. Where's the church, Eric? He wrote the most beautiful book. People are coming up to me all the time. And they're saying, letter to the American. I'm not just saying this, Eric, you know, I wouldn't butter you up unless it was true. People are saying it changed their life. Literally, it's the most important book. Just remind our audience about the book. And look, talk about our pastor summit. We got a big deal coming next week. We're going to do something about it, Eric. Well, listen, this is something this is tough stuff, okay? You're way younger than I am, but I'm just here to say part of the reason the church is not waking up or is waking up very, very slowly is because most people have never lived through anything like this. Most American Christians have never had to deal with what we call evil, satanic evil. And we want to pretend it's not happening. We want to pretend like, oh, it's just a bad patch, and we'll get back to normal. Historically, that's garbage. Historically, satanic evil rules and rains at periods, okay? When the death camps existed in Germany. Now, any American Christian who wants to bracket that and say, well, that was unique. That was like a weird thing. That can't happen here. That's theologically preposterous. You have as much evil in you and we have as much evil in America. Germany did during that period. Jesus is the answer today and was then, they had the excuse that the Holocaust had never happened and they never thought things could get that bad. We don't have that excuse. But the fact of the matter is Charlie, no kidding. Most people can not process. And I get that because it's been hard for me to process how evil things are. Many people just look away. Many people, they have coping mechanisms, but the fact of the matter is, the reason I wrote the book letter to the American jerks. And I can't take credit. I say this as earnestly as I can. God led me to write this.

Minnesota Experiences Record Exodus As Crime Rates Soar
"And when you look at what the FBI classifies as part one crimes, which are the most serious crimes for murder through arson, Minnesota now for the very first time in its history has a worse than average per CAPiTA rate of serious part one crimes. So the idea that Tim walls is somehow maintained a low crime rate is pure fiction. And in fact, it's like saying that the evil fruits of liberal policies in Minnesota just as we're seeing them in places like California and New York. And the thing I want to turn to now, John feeling is something that you have been studying closely now for some years and that is migration patterns into and out of the state of Minnesota because what we're seeing is Minnesota is just like California and New York. Instead of moving into the state, people are moving out of the state. Absolutely. And one thing that's notable is you talked about Minnesota's economic growth earlier. It was kind of lagged since the turn of the century. It's also true that all through the 90s in a net inflows of domestic migrants. That kind of flipped around the turn of the century and you start to see the outflows. But what's really notable is the massive acceleration in the exodus of people from the state of Minnesota since 2019. Funnily enough. We've seen we had about 14,000 people on net. I thought maybe it was 16,000. I think leave in the year 2019 to 2020. The figures got revised up subsequently. So I think it's about 16,000. That's on net loss. And that was a record for going back to at least 1991. Records stood for one year because we smashed it in the most recent year when we lost 19,400 residents on net to other parts of the United States. So whenever someone tries to hold Minnesota and Tim watts up and say, this is the guy, this is the model that works. I always say to people if it's so great, why is everyone to get out?

Pastor Allen Jackson Exposes Shocking Truth About Silent Churches
"Welcome back. I'm talking to my friend pastor Alan Jackson author of the book big trouble ahead. We're talking about a lot of things. And you were talking about we were talking about this issue of courage. I really do think I said it that there's a sifting going on that things are so bad that your average American is looking for truth, looking for leadership, looking for courage, and when churches dare to talk about these things, as you do at world outreach, they're finding greater audiences, sometimes online, and in person, but I hear this over and over again. The churches that invite me tend to be the ones that they all have the same story that we've grown since COVID. More people are coming. And the churches that refuse to talk about this stuff that want to quote unquote stick to the theology as though you could, which you can't. But they are wanting to go back to, I don't know, 2015, 1985. I don't know where they think we can go back to. But what I say is this is silence in the face of evil. God will not hold us guiltless. You are obliged to talk about these things. You're obliged to connect the dots. You're not doing you're actually not preaching the whole council of scripture if you avoid some of these hot button issues or if you refuse to make the connections from what the scripture says to what we do about it in our lives today. If I could speak to the pastors or even the board members of the presbyteries or the leadership in those congregations, Christian leaders are trained to study the social context from which scripture emerged. There's been hundreds of hours learning about first century culture. So you can understand the New Testament or tenth century BC culture, so you could understand the monarchy in Israel. It makes no sense to understand first century culture and then not apply your faith to the 21st century culture. So we are not breaking the traditions of Christianity to become some sort of political activist. We're following our training. Our faith can only be understood in the light of the world we live in. To do less than that is to deny your faith. It's a false church. It's a false gospel. It's another gospel. It's not a new thing. It's happened throughout history.

On ending operation, rescue, so that you were forced to shut down in 1994. Yeah. We had, it was sad. I mean, when I look back now, you know, 30 plus years or 30 years later, I was a young man then.

The Evil Reason Why Randall Terry's 'Operation Rescue' Shut Down
"To ask you, so operation rescue was launched in 1987, ended effectively in 94. And what have you been doing in the roughly three decades since it officially shut down? The Clinton administration made it their mission to break our back. So Janet Reno and one of her first press conferences said that her main objective was to stop operation rescue. Janet Reno was the attorney general for Bill Clinton. And in case people don't remember her, she looked a lot like sasquatch. Yeah, she was not a lot of times people get the names mixed up. But she was the attorney general that looked a lot like Susquehanna. No, listen, I have to joke around because it's such bitter sick stuff we're discussing. She was evil. They passed a ministration decided. Think about this, folks. I want you to want you to hear the Clinton administration decided we want to break the back of operation rescue. Let's think about that. Why? Why would they put everything on the line? To end a movement, a peaceful movement to end abortion. Why would the clintons do that? But they did. So go ahead. Well, they were baby killers is the answer. They believed in shedding innocent blood. They were the villain in the story.

Was Churchill's Aggressiveness Justified In Fighting Evil?
"Was Winston Churchill a possessor of toxic masculinity. He was aggressive, but he was aggressive in fighting evil. The notion of what men get us into war, yes, that's because men have ruled countries. I have no belief that a world run by women would be better. Children's hospitals in the arena of gender dysphoria are overwhelmingly run by women. The damage being done to children is akin to child sacrifice. And people can destroy the world in many different ways. There is moral aggressiveness and immoral aggressiveness. But if the only people who are aggressive are bad or have bad values, and the good are not aggressive, we are doomed to be slaves to the bad.

Dallas Morning News Editorial Board: People Are Dead Because of Guns

It's an open letter to governor Greg Abbott because the left immediately vilifies Republicans on this issue. They come after us with a vengeance when we dare suggest that banning guns isn't going to do anything. Bad people are going to figure out ways to kill people. Whether they run them over with a Range Rover or shoot them with a gun. Evil people do evil things. But listen to what the Dallas morning news editorial board writes. And this is an actual op-ed written by the editorial board of the Dallas morning news in an open letter to Greg Abbott, the governor there. Quote, the people who are dead today are not dead because a twisted and evil soul walked among them, they are dead because that person was able to obtain a weapon so powerful and with such high capacity that even the bravest and fastest response of law enforcement could not save their lives. That's an actual line from an actual editorial in an actual newspaper called the Dallas morning news. The people who are dead are not dead because a twisted and evil soul walked among them.

"And I've met some of those people. I met some eastern philosophy types who ultimately say there is no evil. It's all good. It's all Brahma. It's all going to work out. It's all fake. It's not real. But if there is no actual evil, then there is no conflict here. Of course, we know there is actual evil. But outside of the God of revelation, the God of scripture, the only God there is, the God who created the heavens and the earth, the God who is just the God who defines good and evil, there ultimately is only conflicting opinion because one man says this is evil. Another man says, no, that's good. And vice versa all over the face of the earth. So outside of God, there actually is no evil. There is no evil. In a world that's created by chance with life, created by accident, where do you get evil? Evil is a biblical construct, evil is defined by God, is that which is contrary to God. In contrary to God's commands, where do you get evil without God? Well, I'm glad you brought up evil. If someone brings up evil, some philosopher on the street, some philosopher who's a professor, some philosophers, a friend, an apostate, whatever, was to bring up evil and throw it in your face. Oh, Christian, what about the problem of evil? All the even the world. What about evil priests? Oh, yes, they are evil. That's what you say. Yes, they're more evil than you can possibly comprehend as a non believer. What the priest have done and it made themselves infamous for that's just the beginning of their evil.
Counter Apologetics
"evil" Discussed on Counter Apologetics
"The express intention of their feeding within the living bodies of caterpillars. End quote Darwin was disturbed by a case of teleological evil. Teleological evil occurs in virtue of the natural purpose of a thing. It's suffering that's caused by organisms acting in accordance with one or more of their natural purposes or their design plan. This is not the problem of unintelligent design. To put it crudely, rightfully on. The problem of dystopian is the problem of stupid design. The problem of teleological evil is the problem of malevolent design. Predation is the most obvious example here. The natural order has been designed such that animals must savagely kill and devour each other just in order to survive. Predators with large sharp teeth and claws tear the flesh off their prey and snap their bones. And often start feeding on them while they're still alive. To quote David Attenborough, people who accuse us of putting in too much violence should see what we leave on the cutting room floor. In the context of arguments from evil, there's a common distinction made between moral evil and natural evil, an example of moral evil being the misuse of free will to hurt someone, and an example of natural evil being an earthquake or other natural disaster. Teleological evil is a subset of natural evil. But it's harder to reconcile than ordinary natural evil, since natural evil typically has no purpose. To quote Leon again, this appears to be a much more formidable problem for theism than mere moral evil or non teleological natural evil. Perhaps the most obvious reason is that, unlike teleological evil, moral and non teleological natural evil involve no clear or otherwise natural presumption that evil was intended by God. By contrast, with teleological evil, it is part of the very design plan and natural purpose or function of an entity that it causes evil. In such cases, it's natural to infer that if there is a God, then it is part of the very intention of God to ensure horrific suffering. The North American short tailed true secretes venom from its salivary glands and its lower jaw to paralyze prey. The point of the paralysis is not to kill the prey, but to keep it alive for an extended period of time to allow for prolonged defeating. The shrew can infect its prey and then graze on it for days until it eventually succumbs to its injuries. The North American short tailed shrew is not guilty of wrongdoing. It's not a moral agent. Of course, I'm not saying that predators are evil. Neither are parasitic worms or flesh eating bacteria, they just have the physical and psychological attributes they have in the biological order in which they find themselves where creatures are pitted against one another in a vicious fight to the death. That's lasted for eons and will continue for eons, vast numbers of organisms are designed such that they can not survive. They can not feed themselves or their children, unless they savagely kill and devour each other. Predators could have instead been scavengers or herbivores or some other kind of organism that absorbs energy without tearing sentient creatures limb from limb. A staggering amount of suffering visited upon confused sentient creatures could have easily been avoided if God exists. It's one thing to create something that can be misused to cause suffering. Someone can drown in a bathtub, but it's not as if the tub has a malevolent purpose or function. But a predator's physical and psychological attribute are aimed at savaging conscious creatures. It's not an unfortunate byproduct or a misuse of some ability or a perversion of nature. It's how the system has been designed to work. So what should we make of this designer? Whoever or whatever it is, typically naturalists believe that evolution by natural selection accounts for the design of the biological order. At least the broad strokes. Unlike God, natural selection is an impersonal, indifferent, quote unquote designer. Indifference in amorality seemed to be pretty safe inferences. Whoever or whatever is responsible for the biological order is probably indifferent in amoral. What Hume called the strange mixture of good and ill which appears in life is easily accounted for on that view. Those who believe the designer is benevolent and perfectly loving could offer some kind of explanation of the mixture of good and bad. Just as those who might believe in a malevolent designer could offer some kind of explanation of the mixture of good and bad. But indifference in amorality would make for an easier fit. Naturalists tend to believe that evolution by natural selection is primarily responsible for the biological order. Natural selection is indifferent in amoral. I mean, why wouldn't purely natural processes occasionally generate structures aimed at producing suffering for non moral agents? There's nothing really for the naturalist to explain here. We're not the ones who were committed to saying that there is some kind of moral rationale behind the degree kind and distribution of suffering that we see in the world, but this kind of natural evil. More so than ordinary natural evil or moral evil. Almost seems like a straightforward disconfirmation of the idea that a perfectly loving and good being is ultimately responsible for the design of the biological order. We don't need to make that strong of a claim. More modestly, we could defend the idea that teleological evil in nature. In other words, malevolent design is strong evidence against the hypothesis that nature was designed directly or indirectly.

"evil" Discussed on Counter Apologetics
"Natural systems in virtue of their design plan, like when they're acting in accordance with their natural purposes, they produce suffering. And more often than not, suffering to non moral non rational agents. So it's one thing if there's natural evil like an earthquake or something. And it's just kind of a byproduct of the earthquake, but the tsunami that people and animals will suffer. But there are other things there are other forms of natural evil, like teleological evil, where there are these natural systems that are aimed at producing suffering. You know, like an earthquake doesn't have a purpose. But the North American short tailed shrew, it secretes this venom so it paralyzes its prey and then it grazes on its prey for days. It eats it alive for days. And that's not like a perversion of how it's supposed to work. It's not a misuse of its faculties. That's the design plan. You know, it's behaving exactly the way it's supposed to. So yeah, I mean, if anything, that seems like the product of malevolent design, it's not like poor design. It's very efficient design. It's efficient at producing suffering for non rational non moral agents. So yeah, it just seems like pretty crazy inference to like look at that and then think, oh yeah, you know, I bet an unsurpassable great being of perfect love designed this particular natural system or is ultimately responsible for it. Again, moral evil seems easier to explain than this. Other kinds of natural evil seem easier to explain than this. But like this seems like a particularly difficult kind of natural evil. Yeah, I think the teleological argument from evolution I do think is pretty challenging. I remember one time I was, I saw a box of giant scorpion like carcasses or whatever it's called and are exoskeleton. Or whatever the technical term is, and I was like, I don't know, I just started thinking, like, why would God I mean, I accept evolution, so yeah, there's an evolutionary process, but assuming God has instantiated laws that led to that process like why would that be a part of creation, something like that? And it was definitely like, yeah, it seems like just like maybe it's not the most difficult to explain and always in terms of the suffering produced, although it can be, but it just in terms of just the oddity of it. Why would that be a part of creation? Yeah, I do think that it's definitely sticks out. And it's not just usually like a lot of times in debates or the literature, it's more just like focusing on evil and suffering in the abstract or particular example of horrendous suffering, but this argument isn't usually addressed as much. It seems, and obviously it's more how it's been focused on. And yeah, I definitely recommend Josh Harris was on dialog book. I think that's, I think it's the best possible religion book that I've read..

"There's a lot of pain. There's a lot of suffering and there's a lot of evil but there's also the overcoming of those things if in the movie. donnie. Darko this isn't a biblical reference. But there's a movie called. Donnie darko and has jake jillian hall. His character and his character's girlfriend are in a classroom and they're presenting a report to their class where they're talking about great inventions and they come up with invention of their own. Their invention is these glasses that are made for infants. So that you can put pictures of beautiful beaches and wonderful things inside of them. So that the baby from its earliest memories will have only good and positive images in their mind and as they're presenting this and they're talking about their teacher replies with what if babies need darkness. What if they need darkness to grow. And it's never answered in the movie but it's definitely answered in the bible and if you look at in the old testament the israelites as they go through these periods of god's grace god's power god's provision. They are the most wicked that they could be. They start off good. They start off doing great they follow god and then they turn around and they start building. Idols they start to defiled temple distorted. Turn from god and take up these different things and these are in times of plenty. These are in times where israel is the top dog. These are the times when god is giving them great blessings and in the times that they experienced pain in the times experience hardship in the time that they experience enemies that come against them. They start to thrive. This isn't just true in the old testament. It's true in the new testament if you read paul's writings and his encouragement if you read the book of revelation and you see these writers talking to their the recipients of their lighters and are giving them hope. They're giving them courage given them strength. They're talking about how good it is that there are thriving that this church has this money new members that they're building something great and through those the periods between when jesus was resurrected and the time when christianity started to take off it was a massive thing it ended up being the official religion of rome who persecuted it so seriously from being just a few people in following a.

"Of speaks to god's character that his command knowing that he was gonna come into the world that the first evil act taken by human beings was to eat something that god had made. A small evil if one such exists even though it was so widespread that we all still deal with the consequences. I think that if say Cain enable came along and murder was the first evil. This world may be a little bit different than it is today. It may be a lot worse than it is today and like this is just speculation on my on my part but the origin of evil doesn't necessarily negate the fact that it's still exists the fact that it's still prevalent in our society the fact that people still endure it day by day and one of the things that i think is important to realize is that while the evil maybe continuous. While it still may be present in our lives and by breaking the first commandment defers command. That god gave a corrupted our nature. That wasn't god's plan that even though it's something that is still prevalent that still exists to this day and god did come up with a plan to free us from that. It was not his original plan. That's not to say that god was thrown off by it that god was taken aback because he didn't realize that adam and eve whatever do such a thing god knew full. Well and that's what gives some people. The trouble is well is. Why did god continue knowing that they would disobey them. Why would he offer the command to begin with. If he knew that they would disobey them in fact why would even create lucifer if he knew that he would become satan and later tempt humanity and the answer is because god wants free creatures to choose him willingly. And that's what all love is. It's not something that's mandated. It's not something that's a forced does not something. That's co worst. It's something that is a free choice between one being and the being that they are extending that love to say it's not a feeling it's not a arrangement. It's not a deal. It's a choice that one makes to follow the one that they love to be with the one that they love. When i started dating my wife there was of course feelings. There were things that you know we had in common there. Were stuff that we agreed on but those are not de basis for a relationship..

"It's a a specific topic of study. It's been debated it's been discussed. It's pretty much been Frayne reframed and so many different ways. That i'm probably not going to be able to add too much to the conversation of my own but it is something that i've looked into something that i studied and when i first became a christian it was one of my biggest hangups so it is something that i've looked into very rigorously at something that i've Studied and it's something that has Brought me a lot of enlightenment. From a lot of different scholarly sources and one of the things that i feel like is a major dilemma for people is not just that there's evil in the world but where did it come from if god who is all knowing all powerful and all loving created only good things why does evil exist at all. Why would god create such an evil. And i don't believe that god didn't create evil evils. Not a an our object evils not a idea evils. Not a tangible thing. What evil is is absence of goodness or warped goodness or it's it's a blemish on something that would otherwise be good so to look at evil is something that is a Tangible things something that is an object or a thing in of itself is to miss the point of what the definition really needs not just in the dictionary but in the bible and the fact that god created everything good and evil came into being is not to say that all of a sudden there was this thing called evil. What's to say when it is saying. Is that good. Creations became corrupted that the good that god created became less than became It was just changed more. It was a had a blemish and with mankind. This evil came in the garden of eden. When adam and eve ate the apple wench also gives a lot of people kind of a skepticism. Because of the day. Look at god as telling them not to eat from a particular tree as being a kind of arbitrary. But what is an people think that the tree is the tree of knowledge. So god one of just be stupid and blind and just follow along. And that's not the case. What it is that the tree was called the tree of the knowledge of good and evil. And the only way that you can have knowledge of evil is if you partake in it or see it happening and sends adam and eve had nobody else to look to to see what this evil would look like. Their only introduction would be if they were to partake evil themselves. And as i said before evil is not a tangible thing. It's a corruption of something that was made good. And since adam and eve were made good by them corrupting themselves with sin of any kind which sin is just disobedience to god a neglecting of his holiness a.

Moore who has cancer and i started college again last semester and my son is doing virtual school. So i've been to. I've got a lot going on I am going to continue with My sermon series on the sermon on the mount Sometime soon. i've been researching it a lot. I've been Doing a lot of studying and a lot of praying. Because does next sermon is probably not going to be very popular with a lot of people and if it is that i'm probably not going to be so it's something that's going to be A little bit difficult talk about because of the nature of its message. It's deals with a political things and it's something. I usually try to stay clear of but during my studies and stuff it's All of the the first off the message that god gave me was dealing with that. So as i read different commentaries did more studying. The message seem pretty much the same and So i'm gonna Like i've studied it and just hope for the best if if worse comes to worse and people don't like me them. I'm autistic so. I'm kinda used to bullying and people being mean so it's not gonna be too devastating and But i hope that that doesn't happen today. I kind of want to touch on something else. i wanna talk about something. That's pretty much a major topic. When especially when people who are christians are interacting with people of either no faith or are agnostic or even other fates and. That's the problem of evil. I think that's something that deep down. Even the most sincere of christians has times where they wrestle with the start. I think it's something that every single person on this earth deals with whether they call it the problem of evil or not in something that seems so contradictory to The idea of a loving god that there's so much pain and suffering in the world and this is a widely covered area of christianity. It has its own name..

"There's a new like like generation of people who like will need to have just behind eleven like chris. I know i'm chris. Young nubile sort of good four how to four hit you then terrible guy. Yes not pleasurable are extremely not fun. The beginning of the game is extremely not fun with those controls to be fair. I did my research. Because i already can feel my replies there. There's so much fun right now. What's that allowed of it once. I couldn't stand playing anymore. And i get it. It looks awesome when somebody has the ability to control it. I think the remake of this is going to do a huge service and it will be awesome neighbor. It'll become my paper as an ema game. I think the difference between this and resident evil to going back and paying resident evil two is still take corridors and the game is designed with the tank controls in mind. I think the problem with resident evil four is it comes right in the middle of two different epochs of all right. You've got like it's kind of a tank game but kinda wants to be a modern action game in as a result it feels really really brutal to me. A new player playing in the year of our lord. Twenty twenty one. Okay curse plan. There's important yes. I know you said you played it you. How far did you play it. I got past the first village. Okay see you got basically ended. The reason i ask and this is something that i told you as you were struggling with it is because that first village area is maybe the hardest part of the entire game. It's really or potentially the entire series. Yes the wildest way to start out a game is saying you have nothing. Here's a village with thirty people in it and they're all going to try to kill you all at once and we are not going to tell you what the fuck going on where to go how to survive what to do. Yeah yeah it's bonkers. I was gonna say. I think the rest of the game is more designed around the controls in that first. Area is in honestly. If we did not know a remake was gonna be coming in the next couple of years. Right like it's going to happen. I probably would commit to it and just play through because it's like whatever i have learn it. This is going to be my opportunity to play this game. I'll make it work. Chirp between the remake. End the our experience which i think i much prefer just in terms of like aiming. It's like man. You know what i know that i'm gonna like this game. I'd rather just save it for a version of that. I'm gonna find like the most pleasurable again. None of this is fair. I think in terms of like fully docking it. Because we're just documented like literally. What if you just that random person who happened to be picking it up today. My defensive resident evil two is i couldn't habit as a little kid because my mom said it was too scary and she spoke with the person at babbel is and they said you would be a bad mom if he gave them this year kid so i- coveted for years and then when i finally got it it was the rare game that completely lived up to it like it was like. Why are you smiling. You playing the original. Replay the remake of the original. Yeah i mean it was only like three or four years later but when i played i was like wow this is adult and scary and cool as i thought it would be so many of those games. A kid like mortal kombat. You play it and like oh. This isn't actually just kind of like a mediocre fighting game resident evil t you paint nyc. Wow this is a big idea original. Okay come on the original fighting game. I wanna really quickly come to the defense of the opening resin evil. Because i've been sitting here thinking about it. The the resident evil games have a bad tendency to blow up their own power curve to the point where it's not a scary thing at all and it becomes like a big kind of blockbuster meathead shooting game which is not its core competency and i think by the end of three and code veronica like they had explored the power curve that they had sort of initially installed in in resident evil to like the fullness of of their ability and so it almost makes sense that in resident evil four. You start out in this like horrifying scramble where you are ill equipped to handle like this. This flood of zombies. That are coming after you and then once you get past that it's a slow curve like finding treasures to give to the trader to upgrade your pistol and my favorite thing i think resident evil four has the best rpg total mechanics of all of the games. Even the newest ones like finding a new weapon and upgrading. It feel so impactful because you are always up against it in resin evil four and and for me like that is i know not the core. Dna of the series. And maybe not the thing that most people judge it by. But like i don't know i am still drawn to resume before because i walk into a body of water and i'm like i gotta cut up these fish with my knife or else i am not going to have enough flake to like. Make it through this next section. Yeah i feel ownership over the character in reservoir four in ways that i really don't in most of the other games because i am may these impactful like what pistol my using. What shocked by using. How am i a ranging the fucking briefcase which is the best thing in any resident evil game. I case and having that inventory system made me feel ownership. Here's a little secret y'all the story and the lower resident evil is fucking bullshit stupid. I'm sorry for people that like it. It's fucking bullshit stupid so all that really leaves you with is the experience of playing it and the you know. Here's this moment where i shot a. What a rocket launcher at a giant guy. That was coming. I mean that stuff's exciting and great and fun but if you remove the lore stuff all you really have is. Who are you playing. As in my case i'm leon resume before and i've selected my whole load out and i feel like i am control of how i'm playing the game whereas in a lot of the other games i feel like i'm kind of following a pretty set path in but i do think you've gotta give winters hand. Come on christer. come on. we're not talking right isa winter. I'm let's talk can we. Also i don't want to discount spin kicks off with your does have the ability to do what you want when zombie is closing on you. It is almost always a frustrating experience in any game with slow moving enemies like this except revenue for finally says like what if you just fucking spin king and then the zombies their a one hundred percent vulnerable to spin kick a basically is insecure concerned. Dumb. don't understand about resident. Evil phantom though i feel like so many times new resume game comes on like yeah i like. I like the beginning when it plays straight but eventually it just becomes too much now. Horizon evil four. That's the masterpiece it's like what Fire and rockets in a while..

"To go through these quicker because we're getting bogged down and this is taking forever. We're actually well because this really only two matchups left for this for this episode's okay resident you'll versus residency will to this is interesting. You think this is probably my. It's where we start having to make some decisions about what we are valuing in this ranking versus like. Yeah i don't know. Yeah i i still and i've said this previously like i think nostalgia and like setting new ground is only worth so much in these cases whereas i look more to you know at the core. What is the quote better game. I think resin evil. The resin evil to remake highlighted the absolute best parts of the original resident evil two on playstation while also making it like nada shitty game to control Which helps quite a bit. But even original resident evil to had the controls. It still didn't feel very good and it was it was It was a masterpiece that game. Yeah hacking this is like you talk about like a good horror story. A good like it's it tells a really good zombie story which is not really a metric that we've leveraged against this this series so far but like the it can hang with with some of the best zombie media. I feel like having that crash at the very beginning and having the two protagonists separated and you're surrounded by flaming cars and like an army of zombies is like an unforgettable way for for a game to start and it only gets it only gets wilder from there Yeah i think. Resident evil is a historic game. Obviously because it's bonded is hugely long running series and it's definitely super memorable and it was. It was remade for game cube and you know certainly got a glow up there but it is tough to get over a lot of the pacing issues with resident evil Which is to say every time you open the door. There is like a door opening cinematic and the puzzles are Like as obtuse as this series gets which able to definitely has some obtuse puzzles but resin evil. Just like around. Every corner was a tough one. Eight also reminds me that all of the original game through code veronica had dislike ridiculous inventory system where you had to. You could only carry like three items you had like. Oh green herb and a box of bullets and a gun. Yeah it was. It had some major issues i do. I do agree though griffin think resonable to at its core the like star of it is the environment like the police station and the surrounding city and resident evil. Obviously you've got the castle. Whatever the mansion. But i don't think it lands quite with the like i don't know the film familiarity that resident evil to has mixed with the outrageousness of like. Hey there's zombies in this environment. I really think sticks with people and continues to like really land to this day. Yeah so i agree with you. I think rose naval to the winner. Here but i want to hear what justin has to say. it's tough versus evil. I definitely like it's kind of like assassins creed where it's like. You have to give it credit for just like working it just sticks together enough to to land. I mean there's obviously progenitor here alone. The dark. I think being the most notable clock tower there were a few. Yeah but i mean this is like. It's seminal its landmark at like it basically invinci- genre fundamentally And just not. I mean to is just an elevation in every way that you would want it to be an elevation and like if we're not going to declare as we've said before if we're not going to declare resident evil the winner you know then i think you have to give it to is either as will wins this whole thing because it like you can't get more important than resident evil or it's is a very on this boring podcast. The best these podcasts games. Good yes then. That's i mean that's will to heyman okay. Last match up for this episode resident evil village versus resident evil zero quick. Refresher obviously talked a lot about village. Get real quick. You just tell me what that is. It'll be so christine. Eagles zero was a prequel to resin. Evil one came out exclusively on gamecube. The i like gamecube exclusive When capcom came over To start making exclusive games a resume games for gamecube is like a big deal and It is set before the events of the first game. As i mentioned you play as two different characters which is pretty typical. The difference being here you can actually swap between the characters at will whenever you want to obviously manifest in puzzles. If you're like near one another you can trade items between the two characters Which is actually pretty interesting. It really showed off the Visual enhancements that were introduced with the remakes of the original resin evil and stuff like that. I think it visually. You could still play this game like this looks. Pretty good actually Once again it is stymied by the fact. That like you know inventories as you even have you've got to characters. The tank controls are still an issue. Because there's the ten controls it's still that core early resin evil. That has definitely not aged. Well i think you could probably do a remake of this game and make it much more interesting but where it's at right now. It hasn't been remade. Apart from like an hd release. It's still feeling pretty. Creaky yeah It's just it's it is. It's kind of forgettable. Like i remember. But i i didn't. I definitely didn't finish it. But i do remember it came out. I think around the same time as darkness. Which i think you could compare these two games because turnout darkness is also kind of survival horror game. That is obviously much grander in scope but resume zero. Just did not feel like an evolution of resident evil one which is wild because they had already done that they had already offers an evil one in resident evil. It's also the ai for your partner. I remember was pretty pretty rough at times. Not not the most helpful. Cyber friend there It look great it was. I remember the. The tone of the game was was pretty great. And i don't know if you're going to go with like tank. Controls in tight corridors. Which is what the early resident. Evil games kind of was the bread and butter. You can't do much better than setting the whole thing on a train for the most part. So i yeah. I don't know it's okay. Love trains love train. The whole thing is not on a train. A lot of its. There is a large chunk of it on a train. And that i mean i think that settles train is best of all the different modes of transportation but village of all the video. Yeah villages the better game. I don't think we need to go to deepen the village. We literally just talked about. It is a good yes very good. It wins this whole thing. It's to get it's interesting. And now here i just want to set this up because because in the next episode we are going to be putting the true best resident evil games. I think he was bound to happen. But here the The match ups I haven't figured out who's going to go to. But essentially we have risen even before resident evil seven resident evil two and resident evil village. Going up against one another In in the next episode. So so look forward to that but before we get into that We do have some quick questions from readers. Thank you for sending in some questions Ooh this is a good one. I'm gonna ask just in. This question is from angry. Aria on twitter if you had the money which obtuse puzzle or puzzles would you put into your own home and what would it be hiding I guess i. This is extremely personal. This feels very purse. It's basically feel very vulnerable. I don't remember any of the puzzles from resident games. They're all pretty stupid. I would probably do what with chess pieces wild about chess and i think it would be locking up my woodworking equipment. Just because that's a safety thing. Yeah you know that's going to keep the little ones out And make for a safer work environment. F especially if my kids are having to run look under the like push.

"A normal like people that turn into zombies like eight within the first five minutes. You are like fighting. Yeah that's fair straight up zombies whereas like resume before has that interim where you like walk in and people were. I believe speaking spanish. It's supposed to be like a like in spain or a. it's definitely in europe. They speak spanish another. They ever like specifically glass and goes without saying still not great from an optic stam right because you are like an american agent running into a city killing people but it does a better job portraying this as like a fantasy universe it gets. It gets way over the top quickly to the point where you're like riding a jet ski out of an exploding cave after just like blew up a big monster rocket launcher. It's like it gets. It gets so wild so fast. Yeah also trying to rescue the president's daughter like it's game is is is poppycock in a way. That is a genuine delight and like i don't know if you've if you're new to the series and you really enjoyed village play for because the connective tissue between those two games is like undeniable thematic. It's almost like Pastiche an acura describing it like it's not like one on one references is just sort of like It's in in conversation with resident evil four. How's that like assumes a a knowledge resident evil for I think resident evil four. Also i will say and i know this is not a popular opinion. But whatever as i've tried to return to over the years. I think that resident evil four has benefited by its contrast to the first three. And how good it was initially and i think that like people still sort of hold it up may give it a little more credit because of how different was an because what a big jump from three And elevated above some of the later games in the franchise that i think Succeed yes resonable. Four of the first. Of those. I i guess. Five games if you conclude code. Veronica is the only one that i can go back to play the original version and enjoys off right. The only and that is actually quite an accomplishment for three game that came out in. What was it two thousand three somewhere in there for that long ago to still have that. Staying power is extremely rare and it shows that they really locked into something special. It's it's a bummer. Plants internet crapped out like ten seconds before we started recording. It's a bummer. He's not here because he was he was actually playing it for the first time he had never played it before just this week. And i really wanted to hear more of his perspective of experiencing it now whether it like works for him out that style gitai then well. We'll start week and ask. Yeah he'll be back hanging around. I mean who knows though resident evil three might beat right now right now as before. He's not gonna we'll threes a good game though the next one is going to be pretty easy to because it's resident evil code veronica versus resident evil seven which is probably next four my favorite of the of the resident evil games. I've been wrestling with a lot. With if i liked eight or seven better because a lot of things really really well but seven just like seven just floored me in a way. That was so surprising and i feel like i kind. My expectations were much higher for a while. It met those expectations. It wasn't this constant surprise of like. Oh my god like this is a completely different thing from the last terrible game. Came out in this series. Seven is i don't think there has been a i don't know of this than me. Something else but like it's hard to seven up. A long running franchise that has turned around to this extent like credit to them six was widely panned and then they did several but then for the next major injury in the franchise they really did like tear the entire thing down and make a new. I had not tana connective tissue. Last one virtually not the franchise they've been working on for twenty And created something that became the best selling one ever. So like i mean. It's it's a massive incredible success that i think more developers could like take something from in terms of like killing your little darlings and really reinventing in a way that is like not trying to guess what the players will want but rather like a or the the existing fan base will want. How's that but rather like what. What is the thing that makes the most sense right here in this moment also obviously hugely inspired by pd but the two games that like spring to mind as being like the equivalent of that are breath of the wild and metro prime. Either of those games were preceded by a terrible game lake shore but they but they were like we're gonna take this franchise that's pretty beloved and like go in a completely different direction with it. Yeah and that's extremely risky. But i would argue done that before with resident evil seven in resident evil four like a one two three code. Veronica like you can there. Those games are very similar. Even though code veronica is not you know pre rendered and all that jazz like it is a very very similar to the first three and then resident evil four is nothing like those games and i don't think features like a lot of characters from from the series and it's so interesting that does the same thing because six was just said or has leon and and west a good guy. This is madness. Are we literally just at the halfway point here. I come on in the show. Congratulations to seven. Seven wins now. Now we are going to move on to a commercial break..

I guess there's actually exclusively old business embarrass no new business. We're talking about the resident evil franchise. We're going to winnowing out. The greatest resident evil game and it's a discussion. I'm excited to have. This is a storied franchise There are stories in it so that is true. Sometimes sometimes there's not even when they're supposed to be. Sometimes there's not really store just like military guys show up in a city wreck sometimes. It's a big man anywheres a black jacket and he turns into a helicopter or something. And that's okay too. That's a kind of a kind of story. That's part of the hero's journey. I think resident evil is really interesting because if we can talk about the franchise politically quick. I think it's interesting because i was kind of researching sing like what other people where where other people stay on this. I think resume was really interesting because there is not a general consensus on like. There's there's there's games that have a lotta love. Their games that have negative love bordering on distaste but people seem to want different things out of this franchise. There's different things about like the they're purists that miss the the old you know tank controls and believe that. That's the way you know that that the badness made it scarier there's people who are way into the new direction. The series of the that makes an interesting discussion. Yeah we i think. We've got a lot to tackle figuring out the best resin evil game so let's get into it. Yeah now ross tell me how we set up this This bracketing here. I learned for the bracket real quick The the spirit of the bracket is normally. We try to do randomized brackets here. But because we're dealing with ten games here instead of You know an evenly broken out eight. I didn't i was not able to randomize it. So these are the games that we've included Resident evil one two three four five six Village seven We've included zero and we've included. I included code veronica so that it makes for an even ten so the brackets a little weird. But we're going to have to do like a if you've been watching the nba playoffs so you know. There's something called a play in game. People basically have a mini tournament to figure out whether they make it in and those are all the shitty is teams in this case. We've chosen the as resident evil games to try to play in to the tournament to be immediately demolished as soon as the next route sites but that does seem likely. But you never know there could be. The dark horse story could happen right. Can we also in like thirty seconds. Talk about sort of our history with the thing. Because i was not a resident evil fan i will admit and tell resident evil four really resident evil four. We addition came out. Because i was. We joked about plant earlier. But i was too scared. The original Resident evil gave me terrible nightmares for a very long time. That i had not interested in returning the franchise because i think i was like ten when it came out which is just about the right age for you to be very scared of zombies photo. Realistic three dimensional zombies reasonable. My first resident evil experience. I think was the remake of resident evil. One that came out on the game right I never owned a playstation. I did have a dreamcast about. I didn't play code veronica on it. So i think that was the first brazilian game i played and i liked it. I wasn't like over the moon about it. Until as griffin said referring before the break for me and i was like oh hell it also made me go back and play the other resident evil games. I have played them. Play them all at this point but it was. I was not on the ground floor. I'm of an age. Where i you know. Experience these all like as they came out we got back into playstation like right around the time. The resident evil came out So think pretty sure. I rented These these bad boys I have played all of the main injury games. But like i'm not a purist about it. Like i i i tended to sort of take each one as it comes so i'm interested a lot. Religion here is when we say. I'm interested to talk about these so we do our i. Also we should say that. We have left out a absolutely dizzying number of games. That are in this franchise. It's a twenty five year old franchise there are. I mean like thirty games depending on how sort of expansive you wanna get. There's like watch games or game dot com games. There's rail shooters. There's you know you know. Basically we're going to keep it easy. Otherwise we'd be here all decked now let's start with the plan playoffs okay. So round one of the plan playoffs there are. There are two rounds to this section around one is resident evil three versus resident evil five. Okay this one's a slam dunk because one of them super racist like that. That is true. Walk before we get into this The only way we're able to pull this off diffuse the reema. We've done this in previous brackets fuse. The remakes together so resident evil three for example. Just recently had a remake as of last year. I want to say and So that should be grouped in with the original resident evil. Three that came out on playstation. One okay yes so. Let's talk about resident evil five as justin alluded to resume five woods. Pretty races it. A lot of it took place in africa in..

"Out if your child can you can see what they're using had somebody who they're talking to get an understanding of the apps they have it. I came chapter eleven verse nine moving down the text a little bit more. We find the god was angry. He was really angry with solomon solomon aren't was turned away because god as you look at what he condemned solomon for god says he accepted the evil influence. A little entire secret but preacher's sermon. Sometimes if you've never preached one if you've never put them together sermons sometimes take on a life of their own. I had a lot of things that i wanted to cover in this lesson. Because i started thinking about evil. I thought i'd got more material than i can have In one lesson. So we're going to deal with good influence next week. But today we're going to have less to say than i want to say but hopefully enough to cover some things about evil as we think about not only affect solomon it affected some other kings and one of those was manassa second kings chapter twenty one in verse. Nine manasseh was a king in the southern section of israel and the bible says he was an influence. We sometimes here in our country is far as president. well this president didn't have very consequential president but this president he really things look at him compared to all the rest. It's one thing to allow ourselves to be influenced by other people as solomon did but we're in a whole different category. It's a whole new ballgame when we or someone else is the actual influence you see. It's possible for us to the influencers. We have some political leaders in our time. Who are doing that and doing very well. We have some political leaders who have encouraged people to engage in various forms of lawlessness. Nece we have some political leaders who have influenced others to use drugs illegal drugs commit fornication and certainly to abort children we've seen as far as our current society we've seen a lot of bad influence in many of our educational institutions are primary in our primary educational institutions as well as their universities colleges. It doesn't take very long to find some children who were brought up to the faithful children of god brought up to be solid people and yet they've come to reject god or be unsure about god the bible and christianity lots of educators as we look at them influence mines to accept a number of different sins delivery far as far as big tech..

"The christian for good is the or evil is a christian going to influence the non-christian for good or evil. Now it's not just the prom. You could extract prom from that and you can throw in a thousand different than say what about this. What about that house may influence going to be affected. Well sometimes we need to give serious attention of those questions because you relate to matters that are right and wrong this morning though we want to think about influence in terms of evil evil influence. Is it possible for us to be influenced by some form of evil. Well the answer to that question is yes. Sometimes people who are wise. Sometimes people are older. Sometimes people who should know better don't know better. And they allow themselves to be influenced by evil in. I kings chapter eleven of chapter. You'd find it begins. I kings chapter left. One with this statement solomon loved many foreign women and those few words some a lot about solomon's life if you're take i kings chapter eleven and verse one and you were to try to put it into modern terminology modern vernacular. It would say something like this solomon was obsessed with women not know if you've ever looked at king solomon and that way. But that's what is described in. I kings chapter eleven when a person is obsessed by something and we do find a lot of obsessions in life. We find that individually against the pay a lot of attention to that thing or that person or that. Place that person because of the obsession. They're going to be strongly influenced by whatever their strongly attracted to in kings chapter eleven and was to god told us people in solomon certain new. This god said. I do not want you to marry outside the faith. I not want you. If you're one of my people to go out and i want i don't want you to marry people who are non hebrews. God knew something about marriage. And he told that to people if marriage occurs in the husband and the wife are not religiously on the same page. Maybe one has faith. One does not. Maybe one is of this faith and the other is of a different faith or maybe they are both of the same faith but one is really committed and one is not so committed it will be the case that one of those mates will have the stronger influence in the marriage and more cases than not nine other people can say. Well i know this exception over here and there are exceptions but for every exception that you can show me i can show you a hundred and probably a thousand where the one who was the wrong faith and the one who had no faith was the one who exerted the most influence in the marriage some as well. That doesn't apply to me. I'm not married yet. Okay let's talk about you for just a second one day you may date. Maybe you're dating right now and before you accept that first day let me encourage you to consider the think about the power of influence. Sahlin may have thought that he was so smart and so wise that those women would not influenced him in a bad way. but if you down through i kings. You don't have to go very far. I kings chapter eleven verse three. The bible says that solomon's heart was turned away from god. Now that's not difficult to understand..

"Selected the on the screen to talk about influence. This morning as we go through life we influence others as we go through life. Others influence us. Because we're talking about holiness on sunday mornings at least for a little while to think about holiness today in terms of influence. It doesn't take very long to figure out to see that. We are surrounded by influential people and sources if you buy anything online. You're an amazon user or you are taking a product. Perhaps you've looked at online reviews based on what you saw with. Some of the reviews thought by that now. Or maybe you saw some of the reviews are not for me. Glad it didn't hit the buy button as we think about influence we find that has also affected people social connections sometimes a person before they decide to accept or reject the social contact. They will look at the person's other contacts in their influenced. Their decision is perhaps based on who the other person is connected to as you drive down the road. You see the billboards. Why billboards l. the people who fund those believed that they can influence people entertainers celebrities and believe it or not. Even politicians influence people people are influenced by the type of music that they listen to not. Everybody believes that but it is true. People are influenced by the books they read and people are also influenced by the tv. They watch even the news. Channel will think influence or world. We know that comes through civil government for the last year our government has tried to influence people. other governments have tried to influence their citizens because of a virus.

"What do you think? Yeah, I see right through these fucking people. How does anybody not see right through this shit? You eat this for 19 years and then you bust it out, get the fuck out of here. You guys know how I feel about I see argento. We had our fights back on Twitter in 2017. She wished me dead. I wish her beautiful. In case you didn't know me back then, but I didn't, look, I didn't believe that Harvey Weinstein stalked and raped her as she accused him since I refused to believe that a woman can accuse a man who she dated for 5 years across three continents after the alleged incident occurred. And on top of that, fly to New York to meet Harvey Weinstein's mother and then go hand in hand with Harvey to the Ken film festival to see a movie, which is the same spot the alleged sexual incident occurred, same film festival, same city, same hotel, no problem for Asia going right back to the scene of the trauma. You want to believe that, go right ahead. I never will. So I got issues with Asia's accusations. And before I get into how I feel about her calling rob Cohen out, may I just say, right away, excuse me. I got a problem whenever a person who has notoriety for liking to get high, loving to get fucked up has the balls to say she was drugged. No, no. You're a fun girl. We all know what fun girls like to do. You like trucks. Anyhow, this is a little bit of a tricky one for some people to maneuver around because even though Cohen categorically denies the allegations, rob's daughter, Valkyrie weather, she stands with Asia argento on this matter and she claims that osseous stood with her last year when she accused her dad of childhood sexual abuse. She said her dad molested her when she was a kid and he took her to her overseas to visit sex workers. She went to Twitter back then. Actually, recently she went to Twitter and said, I see you reached out to me to show support. When I came forward about my biological father, rob Cohen. She went through literal hell after Weinstein and wasn't ready to come forward about rob. I'm honored to stand with her and bless to call her a friend. This sick fuck. What a nightmare if you're rob Cohen, maybe he really is an asshole. Maybe he's a jerk off in a bad father, okay?.
