Faith Courage Truth Sacrifice: Scott Adams’ Final Broadcast and Conversion

STEVE BANNON (HOST): Jack Posobiec joins us. Jack, bad news today. No other way you can say it. Talk to us about it. The great Scott Adams.

JACK POSOBIEC (GUEST): Yeah, Steve. I had gotten a text from some of the team over at his morning livestream. He’s been doing it every day for almost ten years, all through COVID and everything else.

I got a text that said, hey, do you want to hop on today? We’re going to be doing some news, working through some stuff, and Scott might need a little extra help today to get through it.

He was on the last couple of days. Joel Pollak was there. I hopped on with Joshua Lisec the other day. Joshua, of course, we met through Scott.

We go on, and then Scott’s wife, Shelly Adams, comes on. She says, hey guys, Scott’s not going to be joining us because, in typical Scott Adams fashion, he decided to pass away right before we were going to go live at 10 a.m., not even an hour or a half ago.

The plan was he was going to listen in while we chatted about the news, sort of like coming into the living room. He always started off with the simultaneous sip.

So she broke the news right there. We had known this was coming. He’d been public about it. He’d announced it.

One of the big things was that about two weeks ago, he wrote a final statement to be read in the event of his passing. Shelly Adams read it this morning. He said that in his final statement, he accepted Jesus Christ as his Lord and Savior.

He said he spent most of his life not a believer, but he was willing to accept Him now. He said, I hope I still qualify for entry to Heaven.

STEVE BANNON (HOST): What did Christ say? You’re going to be with me in heaven tonight, to the thief.

JACK POSOBIEC (GUEST): I believe this day you’ll be with me.

STEVE BANNON (HOST): Exactly. That’s what Scott said. He said, I’ll know as soon as I die. It’s a late stage conversion, but it’s a conversion nonetheless, is it not, sir?

JACK POSOBIEC (GUEST): I think it was a true acceptance. I really do. For a guy who always tried to rationalize things, Scott really understood.

He saw the rise of Trump. He saw what Trump was doing ten, eleven years ago. He was probably the first celebrity, someone who had not been political before, to say, yeah, I think Donald Trump is going to win.

He went on all these shows. He was on Rogan in 2015 or 2016. He walked you through it. He said, here are the issues right now. You think Trump is saying crazy stuff. You think he’s nuts. And Scott just walked you through everything Trump was doing, from Rosie O’Donnell to legal immigration to all of it.

He explained Trump’s persuasion style and the tactics Trump was using every day. He said this is the guy you need for a situation like this.

If things are good, you don’t reach for a Donald Trump off the shelf. If things are fine and everything is copacetic, you stick with that equilibrium. But when you need a disruptor, that’s when you need Donald Trump for.

He said these problems call for a disruptor. The problems our country is in, Donald Trump is the best one.

That was Scott Adams saying this eleven years ago, when he was still just a cartoonist.

He lost everything. People need to understand that. He lost his comic strip, his syndication. They wouldn’t sell the books. They wouldn’t sell the calendars. So he brought it all in house and did it himself. All of that happened because he came out and supported Donald Trump.

STEVE BANNON (HOST): As a creator, it was so powerful. They were making so much money with Scott. Their hatred of what he said and who he was made them take money out of their own pockets.

They hate MAGA so much. They hate Trump so much that they hurt themselves economically. Scott got shut down everywhere, across every distribution methodology, even though he made them a ton of money.

They wanted to destroy him as a symbol of what would happen if you came off the plantation. That’s what was so shocking and courageous. He never backed down. Not once.

JACK POSOBIEC (GUEST): He talked about the truth. He said he was discriminated against in the workplace because he was a white man. He put it in the comic. He said it publicly. They really went after him after that.

President Trump even said at the New York Times yesterday that white people are being treated very unfairly. Scott said that publicly as well.

That’s why he got shut out of the corporate world. That’s why he started drawing cartoons in the first place. Back in the 1980s, people were telling him this.

He didn’t complain. He did something else.

Steve, he was even trying to be on the livestream today from his deathbed. He wanted to be there for the people, for MAGA, for the patriots.

He did two livestreams a day during COVID. I know another guy who does two shows a day. Similar work ethic. Always giving his time to the people. But, he’s not on his deathbed last time I checked.
