Unfortunately, Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert, beloved podcaster, author, he has passed away from his battle with prostate cancer. May he rest in peace. And the show starts now. Scott Adams passed away at the age of 68.
And back in May, he had announced that he had metastatic prostate cancer with only months to live. Yeah, very sad. And we've been following this journey with him, this process. Every morning, he does his coffee with Scott, coffee with Scott Adams, and giving us updates on that journey, that very difficult journey. And
You know, in recent months and days, he provided those updates on his health, being painfully honest about how he was doing and yet still did his show, seemed to radiate positivity. And today his ex-wife, Shelly Miles, announced on his show that he had lost that battle of prostate cancer. And she read a statement about on the show from Adams that he had written.
Uh, I think it was on January 1st. She said that he had written this and the statement is what he said in part quote, many of my Christian friends have asked me to find Jesus before I go. I'm not a believer, but I have to admit the risk reward calculation for doing so looks attractive. So here I go. He said, He went on to talk about his career as a writer, but he ended the statement with this,
I had an amazing life. I gave it everything I had. And if you got any benefits from my work, I am asking you to pay it forward as best as you can. That is the legacy I want. Be useful. And please know I loved you all till the end. it's so clear the impact that Scott had on other people.

Chapter 2: How did Scott Adams' battle with cancer affect his work?
He wrote, I cannot fully express the contempt I have for the New York Times. And, well, sorry, he responded to this guy Wayne on X. And this was the push notification that the New York Times put out. Breaking news. Scott Adams, whose comic strip Dilbert was a sensation until he made racist comments on his podcast, has died at 68. Really? Really?
Again, you have one sentence to tell people what's going on. One sentence and any other time that anyone else dies, the push notification just says, you know, so-and-so dead at blah, blah age. So-and-so loses battle to cancer, blah, blah. To say that with the left, there's always got to be this other qualifier. You know, we saw this with Charlie Kirk.
well, I didn't agree with him, but you know, this, but he said this, he shouldn't have died. But like, there's always something else with them. They can't just say something nice and move on. They can't just leave it alone.
And then someone posted this on X, just the hypocrisy with the Washington Post and how they've covered, you know, the deaths of terrorists before versus how they covered the death of Scott Adams. Of course, we all remember the al-Baghdadi death and they said, you know, he was an austere religious scholar at the helm of Islamic State. He dies at 48.
You know, they just had to paint him in this positive light. This is a terrorist. He's the head of ISIS, and he's an austere religious scholar. Then versus Scott Adams, Dilbert creator who poked fun at bad bosses, dies at 68. Then here's the little subheader. His three-panel comic strip was once published in more than 2,000 papers.
Publishers cut ties with Mr. Adams after he made racist comments on a YouTube livestream. Isn't it interesting that they didn't mention that the ISIS leader... the terrorists, what he had done in his life, the bad things that he has done in his life. No, no, no, no. He's an austere religious scholar. Scott Adams, you know, he was canceled.
There's certain things that he said, which we'll get into in a moment. Just totally ridiculous. You cannot trust these people. You know, Washington Post, I don't even know if this is their slogan anymore, but they say democracy dies in darkness. they never tell the truth. I mean, truly ever. They spin the truth, but they never tell the straight truth ever. It's always a spin.
And certainly with the death of Scott Adams, they did exactly what they do best and they spin it to fit their narrative. So, you know, the man is dead, right, after battling cancer, but they have to do it for the clicks, right? They have to do it for the clicks, but they also have to feed their base, their rabid base, their rabid leftist base, what they want to see and hear too.
This is what the left does. This is what the mainstream media does. I'm disappointed, but I'm not at all shocked. I can't even say I hope they do better next time. I know they won't. Anytime a conservative voice, influencer, podcaster, broadcaster, personality dies. It's never just conservative radio host dies at age, blah, blah. It's never just that.

Chapter 3: What controversies surrounded Scott Adams before his passing?
She likes it. That's really it. And it's so funny how many beautiful women are part of the conservative movement. And we always say, you know, it's such a shame that, you know, the first lady of the United States, Melania Trump, she's gorgeous. She's the most fashionable and gorgeous first lady we've had maybe ever, if not the most fashionable since Jackie O., right?
It's such a shame that Melania Trump isn't on the cover of Vogue. Meanwhile, they highlight Dr. Jill and Michelle and AOC and Kamala Harris. And, you know, they'll put Kamala Harris on the cover of fashion magazines wearing Converse sneakers in a ugly pantsuit. Not because it's actually fashionable, but because they want to desperately make them beautiful, fashionable, popular it girls.
There's really no reason to put Kamala Harris in sneakers on the cover of Vogue. They just did it because she's Kamala Harris and she's a leftist and, you know, she's pro-abortion. So they want all the women that read Vogue, I guess, to go vote for her. And they do the same with whoever else, AOC, whoever's running, whoever needs the attention from the left.
I mean, this is why they're put on these fashion magazines, not because they're pretty, not because they're fashionable or any of that. So whenever a conservative woman does anything, the fashion magazines either look away or they point and laugh. Those are the two options. It's never cover this person who's objectively beautiful and fashionable.
It's make fun of them or try to like not see that Melania Trump is the most gorgeous, fashionable first lady of all time. That's what they're doing. Every time Melania steps out, she's got her Louboutins on. She's got the most perfect outfit on, gorgeous.

Chapter 4: What was the media's reaction to Scott Adams' death?
They're like, sorry, we didn't see that. And normally, feminists would say, you know, why are we talking about her clothes or her husband? You know, talk about her accomplishments. And then when it comes to conservative women like Erica Kirk, they don't want to touch on her accomplishments or any of that.
It's all about tearing down her husband, you know, painting them as, you know, controlling horrible people. They do this all the time. And the left talks about body positivity and loving yourself and, you know, fat is beautiful and all that stuff. But they don't actually believe it.
And then we see what Vanity Fair did to all of the members of the cabinet, but certainly Caroline Leavitt got one of the worst edits in that piece. You remember that, right? The close-up photo of her face, and you could see every pore and every blemish and every injection site, right? And she probably got lip filler because she's been bullied online, or maybe she just wanted to.
And the left makes fun of her for it. Meanwhile, they praise anyone else on their side of the aisle that does anything to change their appearance. Or they, you know, celebrate people who are ugly. Then you see what, you know, just happened with Erica Kirk. You know, she's a grieving widow.
So therefore, according to the media, I guess she should look disheveled and wear black forever and lose her sense of girly fashion, like lose that sense of herself. The world watched Erica Kirk lose her husband. And I'm sure every day she has to fight to not lose herself, too. Why would she lose the part of herself that enjoys bows and frills and glitter? Yes, she's a mother.
Yes, she's a business owner. Yes, she wears glittery jackets. Why can't she do it all? She can. And they seem shocked that conservatives who push this traditional gender role thing can live in the modern world. You know, I'm 31. I'm very grateful that I have a career that I'm proud of. I got started in this in college. I had four or five internships. I absolutely loved it. I grinded.
I've worked at many different networks for successful people. And, you know, I've talked to the president and checked him in for interviews and met him before for sit down interviews. And I've been out on the street doing man on the street coverage. I'm so proud of the career that I built. And where would I be right now if I didn't? Do that. I don't know.
And that doesn't make me any less conservative, right? It doesn't make me any less of a woman. I still believe that marriage and motherhood, they're beautiful and wonderful and something that young people should strive for. I can tell people that I think marriage and motherhood are wonderful. You should do this.
Just because it didn't happen for me or I don't have that right now doesn't mean I don't approve it or support of it or want to encourage other people to do that. And Erica Kirk is an authority on this topic. She is an authority on doing it all and making it all work. She has it all. Degrees, successful career. She's a business owner.
