Charlie Kirk Today | Markwayne Mullin: January 14, 2026 | Charlie Kirk Today | January 14, 2026

Brought to you in part by the
00:00:01.780 --> 00:00:03.482
International fellowship of christians and jews.
00:00:03.482 --> 00:00:15.127
I'm andrew calvert, executive producer of this
00:00:16.095 --> 00:00:18.163
Show, joined by blake neff, the one and only blake neff.
00:00:18.163 --> 00:00:21.867
And today we mourn the loss of another great american.
00:00:21.867 --> 00:00:25.370
And that is scott adams.
00:00:25.370 --> 00:00:26.772
I just, saw that, j.d.
00:00:26.772 --> 00:00:29.408
Vance
00:00:29.408 --> 00:00:30.175
Actually just tweeted something,
00:00:30.175 --> 00:00:31.577
Moments before we came on the air.
00:00:31.577 --> 00:00:33.378
Scott adams was a true american original and a great
00:00:33.378 --> 00:00:35.781
Ally to the president of the united states
00:00:35.781 --> 00:00:37.116
And the entire administration.
00:00:37.116 --> 00:00:38.183
My prayers go to scott and all of you who loved him.
00:00:38.183 --> 00:00:41.520
We lost one of the good ones, but we'll never forget him.
00:00:41.520 --> 00:00:44.456
And yeah, it's a lot of a lot of newspaper comic artists.
00:00:44.456 --> 00:00:48.494
They're not going to get a tribute like that.
00:00:48.494 --> 00:00:49.962
And i don't think.
00:00:49.962 --> 00:00:51.163
Do you remember when charles schulz died?
00:00:51.163 --> 00:00:53.565
I do, but but just vaguely.
00:00:53.565 --> 00:00:57.002
Yeah. that was the peanuts guy.
00:00:57.002 --> 00:00:58.203
Of course, he was a great american icon,
00:00:58.203 --> 00:00:59.905
But that's the only one i can really think of.
00:00:59.905 --> 00:01:01.840
Yeah.
00:01:01.840 --> 00:01:02.774
I mean, so he, scott adams of course, created
00:01:02.774 --> 00:01:04.743
Dilbert in 1989,
00:01:04.743 --> 00:01:07.446
And he it was incredible because,
00:01:07.446 --> 00:01:11.750
You know, obviously we were too young to kind of understand,
00:01:11.750 --> 00:01:15.320
You know, i was too young.
00:01:15.888 --> 00:01:17.055
Blake wasn't even born yet,
00:01:17.055 --> 00:01:18.690
You know, was too young to understand the this rise
00:01:18.690 --> 00:01:21.994
Of corporate culture and workplace cubicle culture.
00:01:21.994 --> 00:01:24.730
And he gave voice through this
00:01:24.730 --> 00:01:26.165
Comic to the quiet frustrations of working men and women
00:01:26.165 --> 00:01:29.935
That were working their way up first nations.
00:01:29.935 --> 00:01:31.670
But also it was it was deeply funny.
00:01:31.670 --> 00:01:33.672
It was deeply funny.
00:01:33.672 --> 00:01:34.907
It was the hapless engineer protagonist,
00:01:34.907 --> 00:01:37.809
As it was described and, bunch of dysfunctional colleagues.
00:01:37.809 --> 00:01:41.246
And, you know, it was a cultural phenomenon.
00:01:41.246 --> 00:01:43.749
It became a cultural phenomenon that people would talk about
00:01:43.749 --> 00:01:45.684
At the workplace or at the at the water cooler,
00:01:45.684 --> 00:01:48.287
Or when they're getting coffee at work, you know,
00:01:48.287 --> 00:01:51.223
And that's why he ultimately created
00:01:51.223 --> 00:01:53.625
Coffee with scott adams was originally called
00:01:53.625 --> 00:01:55.427
Real coffee with scott adams, and it became a phenomenon
00:01:55.427 --> 00:01:58.397
That many people tuned into daily.
00:01:58.397 --> 00:02:01.099
And to just get a dose of his, you know, his contrarian
00:02:01.099 --> 00:02:04.636
Thinking, he had a unique blend of insight, humor,
00:02:04.636 --> 00:02:07.339
Wit, and, and optimism.
00:02:07.339 --> 00:02:10.409
He was an optimist. he genuinely was.
00:02:10.409 --> 00:02:12.578
And he was one of the first people
00:02:12.578 --> 00:02:15.280
To sort of take president trump seriously,
00:02:15.280 --> 00:02:17.749
One of the first mainstream people to take president
00:02:17.749 --> 00:02:20.219
Trump seriously.
00:02:20.219 --> 00:02:21.019
And he paid politically for that,
00:02:21.019 --> 00:02:22.688
And he paid in his career, for that as well.
00:02:22.688 --> 00:02:25.357
A lot of papers around the country
00:02:25.357 --> 00:02:26.825
Ended up removing scott adams.
00:02:26.825 --> 00:02:28.827
The the cartoon was on their papers.
00:02:28.827 --> 00:02:31.830
And what people
00:02:31.830 --> 00:02:32.998
Also probably don't know about scott is he authored
00:02:32.998 --> 00:02:36.001
A bunch of bestselling books on persuasion,
00:02:36.001 --> 00:02:37.970
Persuasion, systems thinking, personal success.
00:02:37.970 --> 00:02:41.073
Just really great.
00:02:41.073 --> 00:02:43.609
That's what i talk to scott on the phone.
00:02:43.609 --> 00:02:45.477
I never met him in person.
00:02:45.477 --> 00:02:46.912
I talk to him on the phone a couple of times.
00:02:46.912 --> 00:02:48.814
I was on the phone with scott and charlie, believe it or not.
00:02:48.814 --> 00:02:52.317
We were talking about maybe getting him on the show,
00:02:52.317 --> 00:02:54.353
How we could work together.
00:02:54.353 --> 00:02:55.420
Nothing had ended up coming of those conversations,
00:02:55.420 --> 00:02:58.090
But, you know, scott did honor charlie
00:02:58.090 --> 00:03:02.094
When, charlie was killed, and we did that.
00:03:02.094 --> 00:03:05.697
He did.
00:03:05.697 --> 00:03:06.198
We have that clip.
00:03:06.198 --> 00:03:07.165
Let's make sure we have the right one here,
00:03:07.165 --> 00:03:09.001
Because there were a few.
00:03:09.001 --> 00:03:10.502
Yeah.
00:03:10.502 --> 00:03:11.303
So this was he was on, tucker's
00:03:11.303 --> 00:03:12.904
Program shortly after, and he was commenting on it.
00:03:12.904 --> 00:03:15.607
So this is i can't imagine adams ever thought he would
00:03:15.607 --> 00:03:18.543
Outlive charlie, but this is what he had to say at clip 239,
00:03:18.543 --> 00:03:22.581
When, charlie kirk
00:03:23.015 --> 00:03:25.083
Died, you could almost feel
00:03:25.083 --> 00:03:28.020
This massive energy being released.
00:03:28.020 --> 00:03:31.657
You know, he he sort of controlled it.
00:03:31.657 --> 00:03:33.659
But when it was released, you know, his his mortal coil,
00:03:33.659 --> 00:03:37.929
Was no more, i feel like that energy just went into people,
00:03:37.929 --> 00:03:42.968
And suddenly tens of millions of people
00:03:42.968 --> 00:03:46.938
Simultaneously said, what can i do?
00:03:46.938 --> 00:03:50.475
What can i do right now?
00:03:50.475 --> 00:03:52.577
Yeah. that's different.
00:03:52.577 --> 00:03:53.912
People don't say, i'm going to stop everything.
00:03:53.912 --> 00:03:56.948
Tell me what to do.
00:03:56.948 --> 00:03:58.216
I'm going to go to church.
00:03:58.216 --> 00:03:59.818
A lot of people did, i'm going to say stuff on social media.
00:03:59.818 --> 00:04:03.722
I'm going to hunt down
00:04:03.722 --> 00:04:04.790
The people who said bad things and cancel them.
00:04:04.790 --> 00:04:07.759
But i was going to do something.
00:04:07.759 --> 00:04:09.328
Yeah, we're we're we're going to figure out how to start
00:04:09.328 --> 00:04:12.030
Another chapter of, you know, tp, usa
00:04:12.030 --> 00:04:15.500
And all of that's happening and it doesn't seem
00:04:15.500 --> 00:04:19.171
To be slowing down, you know, the vigils, etc.
00:04:19.171 --> 00:04:22.908
If anything, the energy,
00:04:22.908 --> 00:04:24.976
It might be growing.
00:04:25.444 --> 00:04:27.212
And i've never seen anything like it in my life.
00:04:27.212 --> 00:04:29.481
I've never seen republicans turn into their own machine.
00:04:29.481 --> 00:04:33.485
And now it is.
00:04:33.485 --> 00:04:34.986
And what's most important, i think, is, well,
00:04:34.986 --> 00:04:37.989
Is that scott was wrestling
00:04:37.989 --> 00:04:39.191
With his own mortality towards the end. you know, c.s.
00:04:39.191 --> 00:04:41.526
Lewis would talk about
00:04:41.526 --> 00:04:43.595
How a soldier in a foxhole actually the
00:04:43.595 --> 00:04:46.965
You know, because he was reflecting on world war one,
00:04:46.965 --> 00:04:48.667
He was a veteran of world war one.
00:04:48.667 --> 00:04:50.135
And he was
00:04:50.135 --> 00:04:50.969
He was doing a lot of his writings
00:04:50.969 --> 00:04:52.104
And his thinking in world war two.
00:04:52.104 --> 00:04:54.272
And he said that it's can be a blessing to be faced
00:04:54.272 --> 00:04:57.409
With your own mortality and to understand
00:04:57.409 --> 00:04:59.244
That you as a soldier, you might die
00:04:59.244 --> 00:05:01.279
And to confront the almighty and to to make peace.
00:05:01.279 --> 00:05:05.117
And scott was sort of that soldier
00:05:05.117 --> 00:05:07.185
On a field in a cultural sense, in a media sense.
00:05:07.185 --> 00:05:10.322
And he was staring down the sickness.
00:05:10.322 --> 00:05:12.557
He had, metastatic prostate cancer, prostate
00:05:12.557 --> 00:05:15.093
Cancer that spread to his bones. yeah.
00:05:15.093 --> 00:05:16.795
And so he was dealing with the fact that he knew he was,
00:05:16.795 --> 00:05:19.131
Probably going to die.
00:05:19.131 --> 00:05:20.332
He he said it. i'm going.
00:05:20.332 --> 00:05:21.900
We're all going to die. yes.
00:05:21.900 --> 00:05:23.535
But imminently.
00:05:23.535 --> 00:05:24.436
Right.
00:05:24.436 --> 00:05:25.404
And so, and that could be a real blessing.
00:05:25.404 --> 00:05:27.172
And so scott was wrestling
00:05:27.172 --> 00:05:28.306
With his own mortality and was never a believer,
00:05:28.306 --> 00:05:30.909
Was never a christian. he had great respect
00:05:30.909 --> 00:05:32.911
For christians, but he was not himself.
00:05:32.911 --> 00:05:35.313
And so we have two clips
00:05:35.313 --> 00:05:36.415
Where he himself was describing this. 237
00:05:36.415 --> 00:05:39.651
My christian friends and christian followers
00:05:40.552 --> 00:05:43.955
Say to me, scott, you still have time.
00:05:43.955 --> 00:05:46.691
You should convert to christianity.
00:05:46.691 --> 00:05:49.728
And i usually
00:05:49.728 --> 00:05:51.897
Just let that sit because that's not an argument
00:05:51.897 --> 00:05:54.766
I want to have.
00:05:54.766 --> 00:05:56.234
I'm i've not been a believer.
00:05:56.234 --> 00:05:59.237
And, but i also have respect
00:05:59.237 --> 00:06:02.941
For any christian who goes out of their way
00:06:02.941 --> 00:06:04.976
To try to convert me,
00:06:04.976 --> 00:06:06.812
Because how would i believe you believe your own religion
00:06:06.812 --> 00:06:10.582
If you're not trying to convert me?
00:06:10.582 --> 00:06:13.418
So i have great respect
00:06:13.418 --> 00:06:15.554
For people who care enough
00:06:15.554 --> 00:06:17.923
That they want me to convert,
00:06:17.923 --> 00:06:20.025
And then go out of their way to try to convince me.
00:06:20.025 --> 00:06:23.028
So you're here for the first time today.
00:06:23.862 --> 00:06:27.165
The is my plan to convert.
00:06:27.732 --> 00:06:30.402
My, my word to everybody that's like,
00:06:30.402 --> 00:06:32.270
You know, that might think that, you know, this isn't
00:06:32.270 --> 00:06:35.340
That's not an authentic way to convert.
00:06:35.340 --> 00:06:38.043
I would just say everybody's different.
00:06:38.043 --> 00:06:39.611
God makes us in mysterious ways.
00:06:39.611 --> 00:06:41.046
I actually the last dm i sent to scott
00:06:41.046 --> 00:06:43.181
Was the parable of the workers in the vineyard.
00:06:43.181 --> 00:06:45.283
And we wanted to read this really quick, for
00:06:45.283 --> 00:06:46.785
The kingdom of heaven is like the landowner
00:06:46.785 --> 00:06:49.488
Who went out early in the morning
00:06:49.488 --> 00:06:50.889
To hire workers for his vineyard.
00:06:50.889 --> 00:06:52.424
He agreed to
00:06:52.424 --> 00:06:53.425
Pay them a denarius for the day and sent them
00:06:53.425 --> 00:06:55.861
Into his vineyard.
00:06:55.861 --> 00:06:57.062
About nine inches the morning he went out and saw other
00:06:57.062 --> 00:06:58.730
Standing in the marketplace doing nothing.
00:06:58.730 --> 00:07:00.398
He told them,
00:07:00.398 --> 00:07:01.199
You also go and work in my vineyard,
00:07:01.199 --> 00:07:02.734
And i will pay you whatever is right.
00:07:02.734 --> 00:07:04.169
So they went.
00:07:04.169 --> 00:07:05.036
He went out again about noon
00:07:05.036 --> 00:07:06.605
And about three in the afternoon,
00:07:06.605 --> 00:07:07.973
And did the same thing about five in the afternoon,
00:07:07.973 --> 00:07:09.908
And he went out and found still others standing around.
00:07:09.908 --> 00:07:11.943
He asked them, why have you been standing here
00:07:11.943 --> 00:07:13.645
All day doing nothing?
00:07:13.645 --> 00:07:14.613
Because no one has hired us, they answered.
00:07:14.613 --> 00:07:16.515
He said to them, you also go and work in my vineyard.
00:07:16.515 --> 00:07:19.217
When evening came,
00:07:19.217 --> 00:07:20.252
The owner of the vineyard said to his foreman,
00:07:20.252 --> 00:07:21.786
Call the workers and pay them their wages, beginning
00:07:21.786 --> 00:07:24.122
With the last ones hired, and going to the first.
00:07:24.122 --> 00:07:27.125
The workers who were hired about
00:07:27.125 --> 00:07:28.560
Five in the afternoon came and each received a denarius.
00:07:28.560 --> 00:07:31.129
So when those came who were hired first,
00:07:31.129 --> 00:07:33.031
They expected to receive more.
00:07:33.031 --> 00:07:34.332
But each one of them also received a denarius.
00:07:34.332 --> 00:07:36.902
When they received it, they began to grumble
00:07:36.902 --> 00:07:38.870
Against the landowner.
00:07:38.870 --> 00:07:40.272
These who were hired last worked only one hour,
00:07:40.272 --> 00:07:42.908
They said,
00:07:42.908 --> 00:07:43.942
And you have made them equal to us who have borne
00:07:43.942 --> 00:07:46.177
The burden of work for the heat of the day.
00:07:46.177 --> 00:07:47.879
But he answered to them,
00:07:47.879 --> 00:07:48.747
I am not being unfair to you, friend.
00:07:48.747 --> 00:07:50.315
Didn't you agree to work for a denarius?
00:07:50.315 --> 00:07:51.983
Take your pay and go.
00:07:51.983 --> 00:07:53.285
I want to give
00:07:53.285 --> 00:07:54.519
The one who has hired last the same as i gave you.
00:07:54.519 --> 00:07:57.822
We'll be right back.
00:07:58.290 --> 00:08:02.827
The wounds from
00:08:03.194 --> 00:08:04.195
October 7th didn't fade when the headlines did.
00:08:04.195 --> 00:08:07.332
Behind me rises
00:08:07.699 --> 00:08:08.900
A new rehabilitation home for israel's wounded soldiers.
00:08:08.900 --> 00:08:12.571
One of many urgent projects israel needs right now.
00:08:12.571 --> 00:08:16.308
Entire communities shattered.
00:08:16.942 --> 00:08:19.044
Families displaced.
00:08:19.044 --> 00:08:20.779
And each day,
00:08:20.779 --> 00:08:21.880
The impact of the need grows even more overwhelming.
00:08:21.880 --> 00:08:25.850
But the bible says it clearly.
00:08:25.850 --> 00:08:28.119
The righteous will live by faith and by faith.
00:08:28.119 --> 00:08:32.290
The fellowship is rolling up our sleeves
00:08:32.290 --> 00:08:34.059
And stepping into this immense challenge.
00:08:34.059 --> 00:08:36.595
Helping mothers who don't know where to begin again.
00:08:36.595 --> 00:08:39.164
Standing with paralyzed heroes.
00:08:39.164 --> 00:08:40.999
Fighting to take their first steps.
00:08:40.999 --> 00:08:43.201
Building centers of healing for the wounded
00:08:43.201 --> 00:08:45.637
And the traumatized.
00:08:45.637 --> 00:08:47.205
Bringing food and comfort to elderly israelis
00:08:47.205 --> 00:08:50.208
Who have no one else to care for them.
00:08:50.208 --> 00:08:53.411
To see the life saving work of the fellowship.
00:08:53.411 --> 00:08:56.448
Unfolding across israel right now.
00:08:56.448 --> 00:08:59.417
Visit ifc's dawg.
00:08:59.417 --> 00:09:02.991
Visit ifc's dawg.
00:09:02.991 --> 00:09:08.794
This is how
00:09:09.128 --> 00:09:10.229
People magazine is choosing to remember scott adams
00:09:10.229 --> 00:09:13.499
Scott adams, disgraced dilbert
00:09:13.499 --> 00:09:15.835
Creator, dies at 68.
00:09:15.835 --> 00:09:18.671
That's disgusting.
00:09:18.671 --> 00:09:20.406
There it is.
00:09:20.406 --> 00:09:22.274
This race, is it?
00:09:22.274 --> 00:09:23.909
But i'm telling you,
00:09:23.909 --> 00:09:24.877
This is the exact same playbook paris take.
00:09:24.877 --> 00:09:27.179
Can you take the enemies of the people,
00:09:27.179 --> 00:09:29.015
The banner off the bottom there for a second?
00:09:29.015 --> 00:09:30.750
Some people can see it. yeah.
00:09:30.750 --> 00:09:32.084
So, scott. yeah.
00:09:32.084 --> 00:09:33.219
Scott adams, disgraced dilbert creator, dies at 68
00:09:33.219 --> 00:09:36.889
Dilbert was pulled from wide circulation after
00:09:36.889 --> 00:09:39.659
Adams racist rant in 2023.
00:09:39.659 --> 00:09:42.628
It's such a garbage thing to do to somebody.
00:09:42.628 --> 00:09:45.031
And you know, this is what they did with charlie.
00:09:45.031 --> 00:09:47.199
It's the same exact playbook where you know,
00:09:47.199 --> 00:09:50.803
They take something that charlie said
00:09:50.803 --> 00:09:52.238
Out of context about black pilots or martin luther king,
00:09:52.238 --> 00:09:55.775
And they
00:09:55.775 --> 00:09:56.876
Strip it of all of the buildup, all of the the context
00:09:56.876 --> 00:10:00.112
Is just hateful garbage.
00:10:00.112 --> 00:10:01.113
And then and then they use it to smear
00:10:01.113 --> 00:10:02.515
Somebody, even in death, you know, somebody
00:10:02.515 --> 00:10:04.517
Somebody retweeted my tweet on it on x and,
00:10:04.517 --> 00:10:07.753
And basically said or quote tweeted it and said,
00:10:07.753 --> 00:10:10.456
You know,
00:10:10.456 --> 00:10:10.956
You can tell a lot
00:10:10.956 --> 00:10:12.124
About the way some, you know, a group of people by who
00:10:12.124 --> 00:10:14.126
They lionize and who that who their heroes are.
00:10:14.126 --> 00:10:16.328
And i'm like,
00:10:16.328 --> 00:10:17.096
You can tell a lot about somebody
00:10:17.096 --> 00:10:19.498
That even in death, they refuse to be gracious and kind
00:10:19.498 --> 00:10:22.635
Or at least neutral, or just keep your mouth shut.
00:10:22.635 --> 00:10:26.539
So people magazine, shame on you.
00:10:26.539 --> 00:10:30.676
Absolute disgrace.
00:10:31.110 --> 00:10:32.244
We got someone who sent in their favorite dilbert.
00:10:32.244 --> 00:10:34.113
They had a they have a dilbert strip,
00:10:34.113 --> 00:10:36.048
Hanging in their cubicle.
00:10:36.048 --> 00:10:37.917
Yeah.
00:10:37.917 --> 00:10:38.851
Dilbert talking to the pointy haired boss.
00:10:38.851 --> 00:10:40.720
May i talk to you after the mandatory meeting?
00:10:40.720 --> 00:10:42.621
Whoa, whoa.
00:10:42.621 --> 00:10:43.689
I didn't give you approval to attend that meeting.
00:10:43.689 --> 00:10:46.425
The meeting is mandatory.
00:10:46.425 --> 00:10:47.827
Approval is mandatory, too.
00:10:47.827 --> 00:10:50.062
Okay. whatever.
00:10:50.062 --> 00:10:51.030
May i go to the mandatory meeting?
00:10:51.030 --> 00:10:53.199
All requests must be in writing.
00:10:53.199 --> 00:10:55.401
It's mandatory.
00:10:55.401 --> 00:10:58.904
If people start bending the rules before long,
00:10:56.702 --> 00:11:01.207
Murder will be legal.
00:11:01.207 --> 00:11:02.408
And then it shows him talking to his coworker afterwards.
00:11:02.408 --> 00:11:04.477
That was the best mandatory meeting i've ever been to.
00:11:04.477 --> 00:11:06.812
They handed out free cash.
00:11:06.812 --> 00:11:08.280
Shut up.
00:11:08.280 --> 00:11:10.649
He's funny.
00:11:10.649 --> 00:11:11.550
He's good.
00:11:11.550 --> 00:11:12.818
I was never like,
00:11:12.818 --> 00:11:13.986
Really that into cartoons, but i was really into like it.
00:11:13.986 --> 00:11:16.355
It was one of it was coffee read like three of them.
00:11:16.355 --> 00:11:18.357
And that was one of them.
00:11:18.357 --> 00:11:19.291
Yeah, well, there's not a lot.
00:11:19.291 --> 00:11:21.660
There's a lot of them are really bad.
00:11:21.660 --> 00:11:23.062
I do they still exist, i guess.
00:11:23.062 --> 00:11:24.630
Do newspapers still exist?
00:11:24.630 --> 00:11:26.699
They do.
00:11:26.699 --> 00:11:28.000
They do exist. blake. it's.
00:11:28.000 --> 00:11:30.269
Yeah, there are newspapers.
00:11:30.870 --> 00:11:32.938
Listen, i want to, i just want to remember that, that scott
00:11:32.938 --> 00:11:37.843
Took a great personal toll for this, and and,
00:11:37.843 --> 00:11:41.580
You know, i the way the verse ends
00:11:42.314 --> 00:11:45.184
With the parable of the workers in the vineyard
00:11:45.184 --> 00:11:47.920
Is that,
00:11:48.187 --> 00:11:50.389
You know, the first will be last,
00:11:50.389 --> 00:11:51.891
And the last will be first.
00:11:51.891 --> 00:11:53.192
And so scott scott came to his face, faith
00:11:53.192 --> 00:11:55.561
Almost at the end, almost as like pascal's wager.
00:11:55.561 --> 00:11:59.765
And maybe blake, if you want to describe
00:11:59.765 --> 00:12:02.067
That for the audience. oh, yeah. so he does.
00:12:02.067 --> 00:12:04.170
Then there's another clip where he's more forthright
00:12:04.170 --> 00:12:05.971
About it, even though, so blaise pascal
00:12:05.971 --> 00:12:08.040
Was a french mathematician who laid out an argument that
00:12:08.040 --> 00:12:11.577
Basically you should embrace theism,
00:12:11.577 --> 00:12:13.279
You should embrace christianity
00:12:13.279 --> 00:12:14.480
Because the rewards of eternal life are great.
00:12:14.480 --> 00:12:16.649
And the if you're wrong, you lose
00:12:16.649 --> 00:12:19.451
Just you're just worm food, so you lose nothing.
00:12:19.451 --> 00:12:21.387
Now, the funny thing is, is pascal,
00:12:21.387 --> 00:12:22.755
A very logical man himself, did not convert for that reason.
00:12:22.755 --> 00:12:25.291
He had a religious experience one night,
00:12:25.291 --> 00:12:26.826
Like just had a divine vision.
00:12:26.826 --> 00:12:28.260
And he was a super christian after that.
00:12:28.260 --> 00:12:29.829
But, it's an argument that has a lot of it's debated
00:12:29.829 --> 00:12:34.200
A lot
00:12:34.200 --> 00:12:35.034
Certainly among, you know, computer
00:12:35.034 --> 00:12:35.968
Programmer types who are well,
00:12:35.968 --> 00:12:37.169
This is what exactly what scott adams is, is
00:12:37.169 --> 00:12:39.905
Sort of an engineering brain, a contrarian thinker.
00:12:39.905 --> 00:12:42.374
And so he,
00:12:42.374 --> 00:12:43.442
He did sort of wrestle with the risk reward analysis.
00:12:43.442 --> 00:12:45.477
And some people might say, that's not authentic.
00:12:45.477 --> 00:12:48.280
I think it was the most authentic way
00:12:48.280 --> 00:12:49.815
Scott could approach faith that he struggled
00:12:49.815 --> 00:12:52.885
To embrace his whole life.
00:12:52.885 --> 00:12:54.620
And so i would just say welcome, welcome to the fold.
00:12:54.620 --> 00:12:58.891
You know, we're honored to have you, scott.
00:12:58.891 --> 00:13:00.259
And, you know, may you rest in peace.
00:13:00.259 --> 00:13:02.828
And, we expect to see you some day.
00:13:02.828 --> 00:13:04.530
And i hope you say hi to charlie for us.
00:13:04.530 --> 00:13:06.565
Up there, he was. he was the man in the arena.
00:13:06.565 --> 00:13:08.968
That's all those attacks on him.
00:13:08.968 --> 00:13:10.669
You think of that theodore roosevelt quote?
00:13:10.669 --> 00:13:12.538
I know charlie was a fan of it.
00:13:12.538 --> 00:13:13.739
It's not the critic who counts.
00:13:13.739 --> 00:13:15.241
It's the man
00:13:15.241 --> 00:13:16.375
Who was in the arena, the man who is marred by dust
00:13:16.375 --> 00:13:18.878
And sweat and blood, who strives valiantly.
00:13:18.878 --> 00:13:22.047
That's the man who matters. and that's what he was doing.
00:13:22.047 --> 00:13:24.316
No. he could be attacked by people
00:13:24.316 --> 00:13:26.352
Because he bothered to say something that was relevant
00:13:26.352 --> 00:13:29.121
And controversial.
00:13:29.555 --> 00:13:30.689
Period. yep.
00:13:30.689 --> 00:13:31.523
Exactly.
00:13:31.523 --> 00:13:32.758
And, you know, i think it was matt walsh who said, you know,
00:13:32.758 --> 00:13:35.261
Especially in the aftermath of charlie's death,
00:13:35.261 --> 00:13:37.029
And he was reflecting on all the attacks
00:13:37.029 --> 00:13:38.831
Against charlie from the left or whatever.
00:13:38.831 --> 00:13:42.468
And he basically was just like, may we all experience
00:13:42.468 --> 00:13:46.438
May our enemies rejoice when we die,
00:13:46.438 --> 00:13:48.874
Because that means
00:13:48.874 --> 00:13:50.009
We were truly effective in the fact that they just like
00:13:50.009 --> 00:13:52.144
The pettiness of it,
00:13:52.144 --> 00:13:53.579
I think, just makes disgraced dilbert creator.
00:13:53.579 --> 00:13:56.615
I think it makes them look disgraceful.
00:13:56.615 --> 00:13:58.450
The only party disgrace in this instance is people.
00:13:58.450 --> 00:14:01.186
All right, that is it.
00:14:01.186 --> 00:14:02.621
The fact that you could just say
00:14:02.621 --> 00:14:04.290
Dilbert creator scott adams dies at 68.
00:14:04.290 --> 00:14:06.325
Why couldn't you just go with that?
00:14:06.325 --> 00:14:12.932
Where are
00:14:13.232 --> 00:14:14.500
The tears from the pain.
00:14:14.500 --> 00:14:16.835
The life that she lived.
00:14:16.835 --> 00:14:18.971
She's a survivor of auschwitz.
00:14:18.971 --> 00:14:22.408
The years that they would just beat her ears.
00:14:22.408 --> 00:14:25.177
That she didn't have food and felt hungry.
00:14:25.177 --> 00:14:28.480
And our answer is love.
00:14:28.981 --> 00:14:32.217
Before, with a gift of only $25.
00:14:32.217 --> 00:14:35.421
You'll deliver a life saving food box into the hands
00:14:35.421 --> 00:14:38.590
Of an elderly jew in need.
00:14:38.590 --> 00:14:41.327
I wasn't only saying people have a heart.
00:14:41.327 --> 00:14:44.330
There are good people today.
00:14:44.330 --> 00:14:46.131

Fellowship of christians

And jews will rush your food box today saudi arabia.
00:14:51.303 --> 00:14:55.174
This is a holy moment.
00:14:55.174 --> 00:14:56.942
What you're doing is not simply being kind.
00:14:56.942 --> 00:15:00.346
You are prophetically stepping into the scriptures
00:15:00.346 --> 00:15:04.183
And being part of their redemption and our own.
00:15:04.183 --> 00:15:07.686

Please call, scan or go online now.
00:15:10.997 --> 00:15:16.429
We have senator mark wayne mullen.
00:15:17.163 --> 00:15:18.631
He's a great, great senator out of the state of oklahoma.
00:15:18.631 --> 00:15:21.735
And i just want to give you guys
00:15:21.735 --> 00:15:23.036
In the red state of oklahoma a little kudos here, senator.
00:15:23.036 --> 00:15:26.373
You guys have the lowest gas prices in the country.
00:15:26.373 --> 00:15:29.542
Apparently a buck 83 a gallon in some counties in the
00:15:29.542 --> 00:15:34.147
In the great state of oklahoma, that's that's like 99.
00:15:34.147 --> 00:15:38.084
That's like, yeah. what is this?
00:15:38.084 --> 00:15:39.652
We said we wanted the 90s back.
00:15:39.652 --> 00:15:41.254
And at least in oklahoma we have it.
00:15:41.254 --> 00:15:43.256
This is great.
00:15:43.256 --> 00:15:44.190
And in the 90s it was like $0.78 a gallon.
00:15:44.190 --> 00:15:48.194
But you know, i've
00:15:48.628 --> 00:15:51.031
It was really i was i was filling up
00:15:51.031 --> 00:15:53.166
My work trucks, however at least in 97, 98.
00:15:53.166 --> 00:15:57.137
But it's still yet to be under $2 gallons.
00:15:57.137 --> 00:15:59.339
Pretty amazing.
00:15:59.339 --> 00:16:00.507
This is a difference, right?
00:16:00.507 --> 00:16:01.674
So oklahoma has the lowest gas prices in the country
00:16:01.674 --> 00:16:05.211
Because we embrace our fossil fuels and, and drill
00:16:05.211 --> 00:16:09.382
Baby drill in california has the highest gas prices
00:16:09.382 --> 00:16:12.952
In the country.
00:16:12.952 --> 00:16:14.054
And they're shutting down rigs and drilling activity
00:16:14.054 --> 00:16:17.390
On a daily and shutting down, pipelines on the daily.
00:16:17.390 --> 00:16:21.561
Go figure how those two would run hand in.
00:16:21.561 --> 00:16:23.797
Right.
00:16:23.797 --> 00:16:24.464
So you you have a, you have
00:16:24.464 --> 00:16:26.833
Multiple counties in oklahoma at buck 83.
00:16:26.833 --> 00:16:30.136
Average gas price in california right now is $4.21.
00:16:30.136 --> 00:16:35.241
Honestly, that's lower than i'd have expected.
00:16:35.241 --> 00:16:37.043
You could have told me it was over five.
00:16:37.043 --> 00:16:38.678
Well, six diesel for 84, 86.
00:16:38.678 --> 00:16:41.681
I mean, i just think it's amazing.
00:16:41.681 --> 00:16:43.349
And then you've got california.
00:16:43.349 --> 00:16:44.350
This is not what we were
00:16:44.350 --> 00:16:45.318
Planning on talking about here, senator.
00:16:45.318 --> 00:16:46.453
But you've got california has lost.
00:16:46.453 --> 00:16:48.254
There's a new york post article
00:16:48.254 --> 00:16:50.023
That i was reading this morning.
00:16:50.023 --> 00:16:51.357
California has lost $1 trillion of wealth.
00:16:51.357 --> 00:16:54.494
So sergey brin and all these other billionaires are fleeing
00:16:54.494 --> 00:16:57.697
The state.
00:16:57.697 --> 00:16:58.731
Peter teal, multiple others opening up satellite
00:16:58.731 --> 00:17:01.434
Offices in texas and tennessee and florida,
00:17:01.434 --> 00:17:04.671
Because they're they're going to tax
00:17:05.438 --> 00:17:07.707
Or they're proposing to tax the wealth.
00:17:07.707 --> 00:17:10.743
So and that could be unrealized
00:17:10.743 --> 00:17:12.278
Gains as well on billionaires.
00:17:12.278 --> 00:17:14.280
So if you are on paper a billionaire,
00:17:14.280 --> 00:17:16.382
They're going to tax 5% of your, well, wealth.
00:17:16.382 --> 00:17:18.918
Just take it to fund their medical.
00:17:18.918 --> 00:17:22.288
They're going to
00:17:22.288 --> 00:17:23.356
They're going to shore up the medical books where
00:17:23.356 --> 00:17:25.592
They're giving free health care to illegals in that state,
00:17:25.592 --> 00:17:29.529
Or give it to the homeless, because that's worked out
00:17:29.529 --> 00:17:32.165
So well. yeah, right.
00:17:32.165 --> 00:17:33.299
It's it's total
00:17:33.299 --> 00:17:34.567
Not not forget they they, ran off the wealthiest
00:17:34.567 --> 00:17:37.604
Man in the country or in the world, elon musk.
00:17:37.604 --> 00:17:40.540
That's right.
00:17:40.540 --> 00:17:41.207
Who now is in california, too.
00:17:41.207 --> 00:17:42.675
And so you just you can't make up that crazy.
00:17:42.675 --> 00:17:46.045
New york is going to be the same way.
00:17:46.045 --> 00:17:47.881
I mean, it's
00:17:47.881 --> 00:17:48.948
Just a matter of time before the new york stock
00:17:48.948 --> 00:17:50.750
Exchange moves to dallas, texas.
00:17:50.750 --> 00:17:53.753
And and you start looking at cost of building.
00:17:53.753 --> 00:17:56.523
Right?
00:17:56.723 --> 00:17:57.757
The cost of building in california is somewhere
00:17:57.757 --> 00:18:00.426
Between 400 and $450 per square foot.
00:18:00.426 --> 00:18:03.563
It's half that.
00:18:03.563 --> 00:18:04.831
And, in oklahoma, so you can build a house
00:18:04.831 --> 00:18:08.535
And actually make it affordable.
00:18:08.535 --> 00:18:09.869
I mean,
00:18:09.869 --> 00:18:10.970
They talk about affordable housing in california,
00:18:10.970 --> 00:18:13.072
But they
00:18:13.072 --> 00:18:14.174
Regulate themselves out of, out of out of existence.
00:18:14.174 --> 00:18:17.076
And yet in oklahoma, that's it's called daily life
00:18:17.076 --> 00:18:19.646
Because we have good governance,
00:18:19.646 --> 00:18:20.780
Because we have a red state instead of a blue state.
00:18:20.780 --> 00:18:22.949
I, i do want to get we have iran coming up there is
00:18:22.949 --> 00:18:26.553
There was a bunch of back and forth last night.
00:18:26.553 --> 00:18:28.521
The wall street journal posted something saying jd
00:18:28.521 --> 00:18:30.924
Vance is going for diplomacy, but trump wants to strike.
00:18:30.924 --> 00:18:34.327
You are.
00:18:34.594 --> 00:18:35.628
People need to understand this about you in this,
00:18:35.628 --> 00:18:37.797
I mean this role. i'm going to say it.
00:18:37.797 --> 00:18:39.499
You don't have to say it, sir, but i hear it from everybody
00:18:39.499 --> 00:18:42.101
That you are playing this massive
00:18:42.101 --> 00:18:43.603
Go between role, between the house
00:18:43.603 --> 00:18:45.104
And the senate and then even the,
00:18:45.104 --> 00:18:46.339
The both legislative bodies in the white house.
00:18:46.339 --> 00:18:49.275
Can you shed any light on
00:18:49.842 --> 00:18:51.544
This iranian potential strike versus diplomacy, by the way,
00:18:51.544 --> 00:18:55.048
That vice president's office wrote back and corrected
00:18:55.048 --> 00:18:57.684
The piece in the wall street journal, saying that
00:18:57.684 --> 00:18:59.586
Marco and jd are presenting a suite of options for military
00:18:59.586 --> 00:19:03.923
Action to diplomacy.
00:19:03.923 --> 00:19:05.258
So they did correct the record there,
00:19:05.258 --> 00:19:06.693
But it was a lie from the from the go.
00:19:06.693 --> 00:19:08.461
What are you hearing, sir?
00:19:08.461 --> 00:19:10.530
Well, first of all, there are several people
00:19:10.530 --> 00:19:12.198
That play a good role between,
00:19:12.198 --> 00:19:13.967
The white house and in the senate.
00:19:13.967 --> 00:19:16.502
I mean, the president has many friends,
00:19:16.502 --> 00:19:18.104
And i'm just lucky enough to be called one of them.
00:19:18.104 --> 00:19:20.940
So, first of all,
00:19:20.940 --> 00:19:23.409
What secretary hicks seth has said multiple times.
00:19:23.409 --> 00:19:26.246
Mess around and find out.
00:19:26.246 --> 00:19:27.714
I'm. i'm claire.
00:19:27.714 --> 00:19:29.582
I'm cleaning that up because my wife would be
00:19:29.582 --> 00:19:31.117
Mad at me if i said the other thing. so,
00:19:31.117 --> 00:19:34.087
Distributors of this program. yes.
00:19:34.854 --> 00:19:36.889
All right.
00:19:36.889 --> 00:19:37.724
So, see, i'm being very nice, and,
00:19:37.724 --> 00:19:39.525
And the president has made it very clear that,
00:19:39.525 --> 00:19:43.363
He will be willing to protect the the people of iran
00:19:43.363 --> 00:19:46.966
If the murderous a regime there in iran decide
00:19:46.966 --> 00:19:51.771
That they're going to kill
00:19:51.771 --> 00:19:52.772
People and mass and what that mass number is,
00:19:52.772 --> 00:19:55.608
I don't know what the president's tolerance is,
00:19:55.608 --> 00:19:57.310
But i will tell you, the president doesn't bluff.
00:19:57.310 --> 00:20:00.813
And he's proven that he is not of going in.
00:20:00.813 --> 00:20:03.583
But we've proven we have the capability to
00:20:03.583 --> 00:20:06.085
To destroy their air defense system
00:20:06.085 --> 00:20:08.655
And to strike anytime and anywhere.
00:20:08.655 --> 00:20:10.790
And he was made it very clear that he could have taken out
00:20:10.790 --> 00:20:13.926
The leadership if he wanted to, but he decided not to.
00:20:13.926 --> 00:20:17.530
And, and so i wouldn't be surprised if you see
00:20:17.530 --> 00:20:21.734
Some military action in defense of the iranian people.
00:20:21.734 --> 00:20:25.471
And i like to say this, in 1977, i was born
00:20:25.471 --> 00:20:29.509
Iran was a friend of us.
00:20:29.509 --> 00:20:31.177
In fact, they were probably more western
00:20:31.177 --> 00:20:33.379
Advanced in the united states than it was to accepting women
00:20:33.379 --> 00:20:36.416
And in workplaces and into government.
00:20:36.416 --> 00:20:40.520
And to in and
00:20:40.887 --> 00:20:42.355
Actually into, and into ethnic groups, too.
00:20:42.355 --> 00:20:46.392
This current regime is destroyed
00:20:46.392 --> 00:20:49.629
All that and we'd love to have a relationship back
00:20:49.629 --> 00:20:52.398
With the iranian people.
00:20:52.398 --> 00:20:53.433
And this is the people,
00:20:53.433 --> 00:20:55.034
Not the united states, trying to have regime change.
00:20:55.034 --> 00:20:57.070
This is the people that's been the regime change.
00:20:57.070 --> 00:20:59.172
We're there to support the people.
00:20:59.172 --> 00:21:00.873
And the event that they start being slaughtered
00:21:00.873 --> 00:21:03.343
By their own, regime.
00:21:03.343 --> 00:21:05.778
Now, to pivot back to, to, to, to, to vice president
00:21:05.778 --> 00:21:11.484
Jd vance, the i will tell you, there is no daylight.
00:21:11.484 --> 00:21:14.987
There's open discussions, but no daylight.
00:21:14.987 --> 00:21:17.290
When a decision is made between the president
00:21:17.290 --> 00:21:19.792
And jd vance, they have a great relationship.
00:21:19.792 --> 00:21:22.995
Marco and our secretary rubio
00:21:22.995 --> 00:21:25.665
And and, the vice president have a great relationship.
00:21:25.665 --> 00:21:28.868
But they also have such a good relationship
00:21:28.868 --> 00:21:30.503
That they can have an open discussion.
00:21:30.503 --> 00:21:32.638
But when the decision is made, when the play call is made,
00:21:32.638 --> 00:21:35.908
They are together.
00:21:35.908 --> 00:21:37.310
And that's the whole present team.
00:21:37.310 --> 00:21:38.811
What the president allows
00:21:38.811 --> 00:21:39.679
People to do is express his opinion.
00:21:39.679 --> 00:21:41.714
I visit with the president most times
00:21:41.714 --> 00:21:43.549
When he's asking me a question, what do you think about this?
00:21:43.549 --> 00:21:46.319
And and he's truly inquisitive.
00:21:46.319 --> 00:21:48.388
But when he decides to make a decision, after
00:21:48.388 --> 00:21:51.190
He hears everybody out, he decides and he moves.
00:21:51.190 --> 00:21:54.160
And that's
00:21:54.160 --> 00:21:55.094
What's so good about this administration
00:21:55.094 --> 00:21:56.929
Is that when they move, they move together.
00:21:56.929 --> 00:21:59.132
And and jd has been very open about his position
00:21:59.132 --> 00:22:02.034
Sometime on our on on the use of military force.
00:22:02.034 --> 00:22:05.872
But he is probably one of the smartest guys
00:22:05.872 --> 00:22:07.874
You'll sit down and talk to
00:22:07.874 --> 00:22:09.108
When he's truly wanting to get to the facts.
00:22:09.108 --> 00:22:12.345
He's not a guy that makes decisions off emotions.
00:22:12.345 --> 00:22:15.047
Jd makes decisions off of facts.
00:22:15.047 --> 00:22:17.650
And he can he can change his opinion because of that.
00:22:17.650 --> 00:22:20.219
And that's why i have so much respect for the guy.
00:22:20.219 --> 00:22:22.188
I totally agree.
00:22:22.188 --> 00:22:23.122
I mean, there's
00:22:23.122 --> 00:22:23.823
They're going to
00:22:23.823 --> 00:22:24.957
Try and drum up a lot of drama because 2028 is looming.
00:22:24.957 --> 00:22:27.160
That's all it is. okay,
00:22:27.160 --> 00:22:28.261
Just just let's, senator, thank you for your time.
00:22:28.261 --> 00:22:31.063
We'll talk about the funding shutdown soon.
00:22:31.063 --> 00:22:35.134
As this year draws to an end,
00:22:35.768 --> 00:22:37.236
I'd like to express my
00:22:37.236 --> 00:22:38.604
Heartfelt gratitude to our partners, the fellowship
00:22:38.604 --> 00:22:41.607
Of christians and jews.
00:22:41.607 --> 00:22:43.142
And i'd like to say thank you to our audience
00:22:43.142 --> 00:22:45.578
Who have supported them in prayer, with finances
00:22:45.578 --> 00:22:47.814
And standing strong for the people of israel.
00:22:47.814 --> 00:22:49.916
The fellowship is one of america's
00:22:49.916 --> 00:22:51.384
Most beloved
00:22:51.384 --> 00:22:52.518

00:22:54.954 --> 00:22:56.522
And comfort to the people of israel
00:22:56.522 --> 00:22:58.157
In the ukraine and across the former soviet union.
00:22:58.157 --> 00:23:01.127
This holiday season and every day of the year,
00:23:01.127 --> 00:23:03.262
The fellowship is called to serve
00:23:03.262 --> 00:23:04.797
The elderly jewish people,
00:23:04.797 --> 00:23:06.065
Many of whom are holocaust survivors who are now
00:23:06.065 --> 00:23:09.001
Living in the shadow of past wars, poverty and loneliness.
00:23:09.001 --> 00:23:12.738
During this christmas time, join me and fulfill
