Chapter 1: What was Scott Adams' emotional final message?

0.031 - 24.038 Patrick Bet-David

cartoonist Dilbert's final message before his death to his ex-wife, by the way. Have you guys seen this? To his ex-wife. And by the way, while this happened, okay, should I show what journalist Victoria Edel says or should I say that afterwards? Let's play the clip first, Rob. Play the clip of what the ex-wife is saying with a letter that he wrote. Rob, if you got it, pull it up. Very emotional.

33.771 - 74.579 Scott Adams

Everyone, unfortunately, this isn't good news. Of course, he waited until just before the show started. He's not with us anymore. I'm going to try to get through this. He has a final message that he wanted to say. So I'm going to try to read it. trying to be strong. If you are reading this, things did not go well for me. I have a few things to say before I go. My body fell before my brain.

74.599 - 117.156 Scott Adams

I am of sound mind as I write this January 1st, 2026. If you wonder about any of my choices for my estate or anything else, please know I'm free of any reason or inappropriate influence of any sort, I promise. Next, 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 so attractive to me.

0

117.216 - 150.823 Scott Adams

So here I go. I accept Jesus Christ as my Lord and Savior and look forward to spending an eternity with him. The part about me not being a believer should be quickly resolved if I wake up in heaven. I won't need any more convincing than that. I hope I'm still qualified for entry. With your permission, I'd like to explain my life.

154.488 - 174.548 Scott Adams

For the first part of my life, I was focused on making myself a worthy husband and parent as a way to find meaning. That worked. But marriages don't always last forever.

174.568 - 195.14 Patrick Bet-David

You can pause it right there. You can pause it right there. And it goes on. It's a six-minute clip. If you haven't seen it, I recommend you watching it. So in the letter, he accepts Jesus Christ. His ex-wife is reading it. Very sentimental. And then you get this story. Journalist Victoria... Ed will face his backlash over Scott Adams' obituary disgraceful hit piece.

196.022 - 208.086 Patrick Bet-David

Scott Adams' disgraced Dilbert creator dies at 68 years old. Vinny, I'm going to come to you with this, sir, because I know you've got a lot of thoughts on this. How do you react to this, Vinny?

208.066 - 229.674 Vinny

Well, I mean, A, you know, God rest his soul. I think, you know, a couple people saw the – I'm saying when she read the letter, very emotional. If you weren't really, really paying attention, you would see, you know, this was somebody – and I knew me and you were going to get into this conversation. So, Adam, this is his last letter as he's dying, and he's saying – and I'll read it quick.

Chapter 2: How did Scott Adams express his faith before passing?

439.375 - 455.439 Unknown

You'd do too little of it. But if you focus on how awesome it would be to have a family, well, there you go. You're going to go through the pain because you've already committed. Am I ambitious, or do I simply have a thinking habit which produces dopamine because I'm thinking about the positive outcome? And is the dopamine the thing that gets me up and moving?

0

455.92 - 464.851 Unknown

And when you're observing me, you say, how the hell do you get so much done? And how do I do it? I think it's just this. I think it's just this. When I think of all the things I do, I think about them in terms of their benefits.

0

465.632 - 490.78 Vinny

So here's your tip. And, pal, and I think in regard to the People magazine girl, the fact that O.J. Simpson died, okay, O.J. Simpson, a murderer, died, and their headline was, O.J. Simpson dead at 76 from cancer, family announces. That's it right there. But when Scott Adams dies because he was a Trump supporter, look what they write. Scott Adams, disgraced. Dilbert creator dies at 68.

0

490.841 - 499.688 Vinny

A murderer gets the nice one, but a guy that liked Trump gets a disgrace. This is the day that he died. They write that. So it just goes to show you.

499.709 - 501.795 Patrick Bet-David

Where are you at with the story on?

502.332 - 528.407 Unknown

Well, Vinny just made me feel very guilty because I meant to send Scott Adams, my minister, Redeemer.com. It would convince anyone because I sort of agree with you. I hope he really believed it, but just taking Pascal's wager, that isn't going to do it. And I know Tim Keller would have convinced him and suddenly he was dead and I hadn't sent it yet. So I'm feeling frustrated.

528.387 - 551.813 Unknown

very bad about that. This reminds me, I was just thinking about this the other day, which is why, oh my gosh, Twitter being down is so much more important to me than Iran. Twitter is so important for the truth getting out there, including on immigration, like you were talking about. And all the MSM is showing us is, oh, the poor illegal immigrant.

551.793 - 577.399 Unknown

Whoa, those aren't the ones you see on, those aren't the videos you see on Twitter. And it wasn't just that one. I mean, there was some horrible terrorist where the headline was, you know, honored Islamic scholar dies. I just sent that to Rob. Can I talk about that? Yes, go ahead. But those weren't the only ones. The contrast all over Twitter. So thank God for Twitter.

578.281 - 584.632 Unknown

And I interviewed Scott Adams on my Substack. And he was really interesting.

Chapter 3: What reflections did the panel share about Adams' life choices?

584.672 - 606.826 Unknown

And it was a lot of fun. racist thing was unfair. It was, I think, a clumsy joke, in my opinion. But if you'll remember what it was, there was just this poll that turned out to be a BS poll saying that a majority of black people said that it's not OK to be white. So it was a BS poll, but he read it. He believed it.

0

606.846 - 625.999 Unknown

He says, therefore, black people are racist and therefore we should stay the hell away from black people. It's one of those things where you can't some things you just should stay away from making jokes about. So it was a clumsy joke, but, oh, my gosh, his publisher canceled him. His syndicate, my former syndicate, canceled him. He got canceled every place.

626.46 - 653.704 Unknown

And to be putting that in the obituaries, oh, come on. Oh, here it is. There it is. Yeah. Yeah. Well, yeah, that's why you always need to check the source and say, is this a credible source, a biased source? Are they far left? Are they far right? Which one is it? So the cartoonist from Dilbert dies and he's this bad dude and this controversial guy, but the austere leader of ISIS.

0

654.646 - 682.482 Unknown

You know, Jihad al-Baghdadi, whatever his name was. What a guy. So just check your source. There it is. Abu al-Bakr al-Baghdadi, the austere religious scholar at the helm of Islamic State, dies at 48. What a guy. Cartoonist from Dilbert, Mr. Adams over here. Disgraced. Disgraced. Although that needed to say died suddenly at 48. The other thing I'll say is, Racist is the most overused term.

682.723 - 701.362 Unknown

I don't know. I'm not going to judge him right now. He does make a great point about... The kids, you know, you have one kid and you go back for two. I was hanging out with a lady last night, a friend. She has 11 kids. And she's trying to convince my girl, go for it. Come on, I'm going to do number 12. If you do number one, I'm like, this lady just wants a baker dozen.

701.382 - 702.824 Unknown

I don't know if she's looking for a football team.

Chapter 4: How does the panel respond to media coverage of Scott Adams' death?

702.844 - 716.465 Unknown

11 kids. The last point is this. We're on the same page here. This is my concern. And he's a good guy. And I talk about bad people at the last second Hail Mary accepting Jesus. This, to me, was a risk-reward calculation.

0

716.485 - 717.246 Vinny

That's not how it works.

0

717.306 - 723.712 Unknown

Not pure from your heart. So I've been Jewish my whole life. It's on my deathbed. It's like, Jesus!

0

723.732 - 743.973 Vinny

That's not how it works. Because you know who knows your heart? Jesus! He knows. And there's no way to get to the Father except through the Son. And just to go back really, really fast, do you guys remember when Ghassan Soleimani was killed? New York Times published an op-ed. They called him a freedom fighter. CNN, NPR, they called him hero to supporters and a popular figure In Iran.

0

744.133 - 760.759 Vinny

It's a freaking joke. It is a joke. And I didn't know that about you. I understand the feeling that you didn't message him, but just hoping that we could pray that he did have a moment where maybe the Holy Spirit was like, hey, you have this opportunity, and I hope and I pray that he came.

760.739 - 777.203 Unknown

To it right there, because a word and a letter, that's not going to come. And Adam, Ann made the point about Pascal's wager. You hope that none of your friends, you know, are simply making Pascal's wager. And I think it's like this little fire alarm at the last moment that it's a genuine. And I have deep respect for Tim Keller.

777.764 - 801.276 Unknown

And I believe that anybody that would encounter at a moment facing their own mortality. Tim's writings, I believe that they they would be compelled. I think that's what you were saying. I agree with that. Tim's tremendous. You know, and I just think the dialogue has become so heated and so nasty. You know, as I've often said, once upon a time, I used to think that.

802.741 - 829.727 Unknown

liberals think I'm evil when I just thought liberals were wrong, right? But I think it's become much deeper and worse than that. I mean, it goes on both sides. Yeah, I think they're evil. Yeah, well, so do I. But it's become deeper than that. I mean, even Matt Judge, when O.J. died, as I recall, the Drudge Report took heat because the headline they carried was Cancer Murders O.J.

830.348 - 848.785 Unknown

Was the, I believe, was the... Wait, who had that headline? That's hilarious. Yeah, if you go back, the Drudge Report took heat for it. That's funny. It was Cancer Murders O.J. That's really funny. The pen holder's got a very interesting sense of humor.
