Duck Dynasty Star Offers to Take Important Role to Help Trump

/0 Comments/in , /by

Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson had never planned to support presumptive Republican presidential nominee Donald Trump, but now he will do whatever it takes to help Trump defeat likely Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton.

“I was forced onto the Trump train, but I am happily volunteering my services for Mr. Trump, mainly because the Republican Party has spoken,” said Robertson, who supported Sen. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, in the Republican primaries. “The people have said we want Mr. Trump. So Mr. Cruz goes down — I love him — but now I’m on the Trump train and I’ll do everything I can to help him.”

During his appearance Wednesday on Fox & Friends, Robertson had a very clear idea of how he could assist Trump.

Robertson has said that he will remain loyal to the Republican Party.

“I’ll go with the platform that I discovered when I was 28. I looked at the Democrats and the Republicans, and at least the Republicans aren’t for killing their children or for perversion, so I’m a Republican. So I’ll back old Donald,” he told The Hollywood Reporter recently.

As for Clinton, “Her record is long, and she’s already proven herself,” he said then.

“I know which way we’ll go with her, but I’m not sure with Donald. And remember, I’m a hunter. We shoot squirrels and ducks and eat ’em, and she says she’ll take our guns. All we’re doing is shooting targets, and alligators and cottonmouth snakes, and she wants to take that away from us,” he said.

Robertson consistently calls for political leaders to turn to God.

“Why don’t we vet our thinking through the word of God, love God and love each other?” he said on Fox & Friends Wednesday. “Why don’t we try that for a while? That’s my story and I’m sticking to it.”

He explained to the Hollywood Reporter why following God’s teaching is important to America.

“When you remove the God of the Bible and suppress the truth and allow men and women to determine right and wrong, historically speaking, it always ends in carnage and murder — Hitler, the Caesars of Rome, the French Revolution, ISIS. Man, there has been a slaughterhouse on planet Earth, and the common denominator is the removal of God,” he said.

Another Duck Dynasty Star Just Announced His Presidential Endorsement – It’s Not Who You’d Expect…

/14 Comments/in , /by

Willie Robertson, star of A&E’s hit show “Duck Dynasty,” announced his support for GOP front-runner Donald Trump on Thursday, one week after his father, Phil Robertson, endorsed Texas Sen. Ted Cruz for president.

The younger Robertson appeared alongside Trump Thursday at the Outdoor Sportsman Awards in Las Vegas, where he introduced the Manhattan real estate mogul. Robertson also made a crack about his dad’s support for Cruz.

“The man I have the honor of introducing is not afraid to tell it like it is, he’s not very politically correct, he’s very bold, he loves his country and he firmly stands behind the Second Amendment,” Roberston said. “I’m not talking about my father, OK? Phil’s not here, he had to cruise on back to Louisiana, so he’s unfortunately missing this event.”

Trump returned the kind words.

“Willie is an amazing guy, he’s a friend of ours and just incredible, and it was very hard for him to get here. This was not easy for Willie. And you know, he’s got a hot show, to put it mildly,” Trump said. Later, he vowed to protect outdoorsmen and “what they love.” (Read more from “Another Duck Dynasty Star Just Announced Their Presidential Endorsement – It’s Not Who You’d Expect…” HERE)

Duck Dynasty Star Shares Urgent Life-Or-Death Crisis With the World, Asks for Prayer

/2 Comments/in , /by

Duck Dynasty star Sadie Robertson shared a prayer request for a young girl that has garnered a large response online.

The request is for 7-year-old Katie Joyce, who Robertson posted a picture of on her Instagram account, writing in the caption: “Her family found out she has a brain tumor and its on her brain stem.” She added that “The doctors say we need a miracle. The only thing that can fix this is if we storm the gates of heaven.”

Katie, from Monroe City, Louisiana, was first diagnosed with a brain tumor in 2010, when she was only two years old. Doctors at St. Jude’s Hospital in Memphis, Tenn., operated on her at the time, removing the tumor. She was monitored thereafter with the hope that she would not face a recurrence of the disease. Now, the young girl faces this new challenge.

Sadie asked those seeing the picture to also “write comments of encouragement & if you know someone who needs prayer feel free to write it in a comment & I will pray for all of you as well.”

One responded: “Prayers for this little girl and her family. God can do many miracles I have experienced for myself. I pray for comfort and love. Have trust in The Lord for he hears your cry.”

Another prayed, trusting in God’s provision of divine healing secured at the Cross: “Jesus, we thank You, that by your Blood this Beautiful Girl is healed, You bore every sin, sickness and disease on the Cross over 2,000 years ago. It has already been done. It is finished. And on behalf of this little girl, Your daughter, we receive it.” (Read more from “‘Duck Dynasty’ Star Shares Urgent Life-Or-Death Crisis With the World, Asks for Prayer” HERE)

Duck Dynasty’s Uncle Si Robertson Is a Semifinalist in Yahoo TV’s Greatest Reality TV Personalities

/0 Comments/in , /by

Duck Dynasty’s Si Robertson, fondly called “Uncle Si” by viewers, makes it to the semifinals in Yahoo TV’s Greatest Reality TV Personalities. He was picked as the winner for the category Best Comic Relief, and now he is pitted against winners from seven other categories for the championship.

Yahoo TV initiated the Greatest Reality TV Personalities to celebrate the stars of various reality shows that people have come to love over the years. It is also meant to celebrate the 15th anniversary of “Survivor,” which many consider to have propelled reality TV shows into the mainstream.

The winners of the “competiton” will be determined by poll voting. As of Tuesday, Uncle Si falls into third place with 18 percent votes. Gordon Ramsay leads the poll with 48 percent votes followed by Spencer Pratt with 26 percent votes. Kim Kardashian lands at fourth place with 8 percent votes.

According to Yahoo TV, Uncle Si makes the cut because of his witty remarks that viewers enjoy. He is known to have so much wisdom, and the way he tackles ideas and pours out his unpredicatably comedic quotes has given birth to a new term – “Si-cology.”

Among the characters in “Duck Dynasty,” Uncle Si is arguably the most hilarious. His funny comments are adored by viewers who delight in the show’s clean humor, which is a breath of fresh air in reality TV.

Phil Robertson to Receive Free-Speech Award at CPAC for his Outspoken Statements on Homosexuality

/1 Comment/in , /by

Fourteen months after he sparked a major controversy for making remarks widely perceived as anti-gay, Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson has been named the recipient of a free-speech award from Citizens United, an organization routinely disparaged by Hollywood liberals.

Robertson will receive the “Andrew Breitbart Defender of the First Amendment Award” at this year’s Conservative Political Action Conference, which is better known as CPAC and is one of the biggest annual events for prominent movers and shakers on the right . . .

“Even when the entire mainstream media demanded he disavow his beliefs and attempted to have him fired from his own hit show for expressing these beliefs, he stood firm in his faith,” Citizens United president David Bossie said.

Bossie’s group is most famous for Citizens United v. Federal Election Commission, where the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that blocking the airing of the group’s documentary film Hillary: The Movie was a violation of free speech. The FEC had argued, unsuccessfully, that the movie should adhere to laws governing political advertising, given that it was a critical look at Hillary Clinton scheduled for release when she was seeking the Democratic nomination for U.S. president.

Duck Dynasty Musical to Open in Las Vegas

/1 Comment/in , /by

If the South Park guys can make a successful musical about Mormons and the Flaming Lips can re-engineer “Yoshimi Battles the Pink Robots” into entertaining theater, it only makes sense that a Broadway team could goose curtain calls out of duck calls in a staged production of “Duck Dynasty” . . .

Yes, the Robertson family from A&E’s hit (or miss, depending on who you ask) reality show “Duck Dynasty,” the long-bearded, camouflage-wearing, culture-war clan whose mixture of faith and business acumen leaves it frequently counting blessings and money, will be the subject of a 90-minute musical. The show will debut in April in a 680-seat theater at Las Vegas’ Rio hotel and casino, a venue previously known for shows involving Chippendales dancers and Penn & Teller. Tickets go on sale Tuesday.

The musical is based on a book about the family written by Duck Commander CEO Willie Robertson and his wife, Korie. Interviewed on Fox in January, Robertson said the musical is about “redemption.”

His wife said: “When we first heard, like the first four songs they played for us, I mean Willie and I cried, like we boohooed like babies.”

“I had something in my eye,” Robertson said. “I wasn’t crying.” (Read more about the Duck Dynasty musical HERE)

Duck Dynasty’s Phil Robertson: Editors Cut Name of Jesus to NOT Offend Muslims (+video)

/29 Comments/in , /by

Duck Dynasty patriarch Phil Robertson said that when the Duck Dynasty show began on A&E in 2012, the video editors, based in Los Angeles, would often take out the words “in Jesus’ name” from the family prayer scene because they thought the name “Jesus” might “offend some of the Muslims or something.”

Robertson said he advised the show’s producers, in West Monroe, La., that they and the entire world kept time, the “year of Our Lord,” A.D., Anno Domini, based upon Jesus Christ and that it would not hurt to “throw His name in there from time to time,” and he noted that this example represented, the “spiritual warfare” that is always occurring.

Robertson made his comments during an interview with reporters for Sports Spectrum TV. He first related that video editors of Duck Dynasty initially added bleeps to the audio to suggest there was profanity when there was, in fact, no cursing by the cast members. Robertson got the editors to stop making those insertions.

He then recounted, “The other thing was when we prayed, we said, ‘In Jesus’ name. Amen.’ Now, I don’t have any verse that says you must always use or pray in the name of Jesus but it’s a very good idea, I think. So they were just having me saying, ‘Thank you Lord for the food, thank you for loving us. Amen.’”

“So I said, why would you cut out ‘In Jesus’ name’?” recalled Robertson. “They said, ‘Well, those editors are probably doing that and they just think, you know, they don’t want to maybe offend some of the Muslims or something.’” (Read more from this story HERE)

The Duck Dynasty family is getting its own musical.

According to Variety, the story of the Robertson family will serve as the inspiration for The Duck Commander Family Musical, a new theater show that will open early next year at the Rio hotel and casino in Las Vegas.

The 90-minute show will reportedly be produced by Michael David, who previously produced the Four Seasons-themed smash hit Jersey Boys.

“The show will end up challenging the views and assumptions of people across the political spectrum, more than most theater does,” David told the New York Times. “The Robertsons are so unusual, their story so juicy, and theater shouldn’t be limited to telling stories about people you resemble or revere.”

“We’ve enjoyed the process of making a musical alongside the team who is interested in telling the Robertson family story from an outside perspective,” Duck Commander CEO Willie Robertson told the Times.

Duck Dynasty’s Alan Robertson: America Will Fall Like Rome Unless We Repent

Duck Dynasty’s Alan Robertson, a Christian minister and the eldest son of Phil and Kay Robertson, said that God allows nations to be punished for their sinful actions and, like it was with the fall of Rome, America will also collapse because of egregious sin unless people repent and embrace the “principles of godliness” this country was founded upon.

“[I]t costs a society and a culture wherever sin reigns,” Al Robertsontold CNSNews.com. “Let’s look at human civilization and go back at all the great cultures that rose up, like the Romans or others, and it [sin] just weighs in on itself and it destroys. It becomes such a weighted-down culture in its own seeking of personal pleasure or personal gain, and then it collapsed. It’s happened every time, up to now.”

“Do I think it will happen to America? Absolutely,” he said. “Unless we somehow figure out that we were founded on the principles of godliness and following the law, because law is good and things like that. I think we have the element to repent.”

Al Robertson, who is co-executive editor with his father of the new study Bible, The Duck Commander Faith and Family Bible, said that people can seek to counter the effects of sin in the culture by “doing something different,” something that is positive, and he referenced the Duck Dynasty program as an example.
