- Well here's a free piece of advice.

Listen to a guy who knowshow to use a shotgun.

And now Phil Robertson isn't just blasting

the feathers of anything that quacks,

he's blasting the secularideas that he thinks

are ruining America.

- [Narrator] In 1966 Timemagazine asked, is God dead?

Since then basic beliefs inmarriage, gender identity

and the value of life havebeen shaken to the core.

Phil Robertson is a best selling author

and the founder of theDuck Commander Company.

He says the bad news inour country is really bad.

But in his book, TheTheft of America's Soul,

Phil says the good news is really good.

He blows the lid off the liesthat are destroying America

and offer 10 truths thatcould turn our nation around.

- Well the show was called Duck Dynasty.

It had a huge audience,

and the family of peoplewith beards and ducks

and everything down inLouisiana is back on the air.

And Phil Robertson, who isthe patriarch of that clan

and his lovely wife Kay are with us now.

I'm so glad to see you both.

I'm honored you're here.- Glad to be here.

- Hey Phil, let me ask, youlived a pretty rough life.

You played for LSU, youwere a halfback on the...

- Louisiana Tech.

- Yeah, Louisiana Tech.

- [Pat] Oh, not LSU, Louisiana Tech.

You played halfback, you were good.

- [Kay] Quarterback.

- [Pat] Oh you were quarterback.

- I was the quarterback rightahead of Terry Bradshaw.

He was second stringand I told him, I said,

I think I'm going to go chase ducks

instead of play football.

I said, "Bradshaw, I just really don't see

a good ending with alivelihood that involves

large, violent men chasing you."

- Large violent men chasing you.

- So Bradshaw went on to theprofessional football world

and I went after the ducks.

- Well you have a duck call.

How'd you get to come up with that thing?

- It's like playing music by ear.

You hear these birds andGod made an array of ducks.

Well they all have different sounds.

Some of them just peep,and some of them quack.

So I figured out listening to them

how to build devices thatsounded like each species.

So once I got thatgoing and on the market,

it didn't start out fast.

My first year of sales, Pat, were $8,000.

We sold $8,000 worth.

I said, "Ms. Kay, we are rolling."

- And tell Pat what I said.

- She said, "We're gonna starve to death."

- I did.

- You lived a pretty rough life.

You were a bouncer, youbeat somebody up in a bar.

What'd you do?

- [Kay] Yeah, I lived through that, too.

- I was a heathen.

And I didn't find out aboutJesus, investigate Him.

I do have two degrees from Louisiana Tech,

but Pat, in an eight yearperiod, earning those degrees

I never heard anyone sayone kind word about Jesus.

Not one.

So I guess I came out ofthere at best an agnostic.

But I don't even thinkI was a believer at all.

I investigated Jesus at 28 years old

and I thought, wait a minute here.

We're talking life and immortality here.

So that's what got my attention.

- [Kay] But who found him first?

- Huh?

- Who found Jesus?

- Ms. Kay found Jesus first.

- A year ahead of him.

- [Pat] How come you found him?

- Well I was at, where I got to that place

where there was nohope, with the marriage.

I just thought what can I do.

I'm trying to be the bestwife, be the best mother.

I tried to make everythingright, and he just kept

messing it all up.

- What'd he do?

- Well he got drunk andjust lived like a heathen

so I guess one night I came in

and I was just at the bottom.

I really wanted to just goto sleep and not wake up.

And what saved me, I lovethis, is my oldest son

was about eight or nine, I can't remember.

And him and the other boyswere outside the bathroom

when I was crying in the bathroom,

thinking I just don't know what to do.

I don't have any hope.

And that's all I wanted wasto be a good wife and mother.

That was my goal in life.

And I felt like I just failed.

So Allen said, "Momma, don't cry anymore.

God's gonna help us."

I mean he's a little childfrom the, can you believe that?

And he said now since hewas a preacher for 25 years,

he said, "That was my first sermon

and my mom responded."

(laughter)

- So he's still preaching.

- Pat, my woman tellsme now, she says Phil,

and I mentioned this earlierwhen we were on Facebook,

she said, "I've been poorwith you and you were mean."

She said, "Now, I'm rich withyou and you're very kind.

I'm not going anywhere."

(laughter)

- So he's kind and he's changed?

- He's very kind.

He waits on me when I got sick.

He took care of me.

I mean he didn't even bat an eye.

He brought me a tray of food everyday.

I mean he took care ofme for the whole time,

like three months that I was sick.

- I learned it all from the Almighty.

- Yes you did.

Well you know you all hada tremendous experience.

You were in this TV show.

How did that come about,it was so popular.

It just exploded all across America.

- They came down from New York and someone

come up with a wild idea.

Somebody stood up inthe back at one of those

skull sessions they werehaving, those producers for A&E

and someone said, "I knowthis is a far fetched idea,

but why don't we maybehave a functional family

on television?"

And someone else said, "You know, Dave,

that's a wild idea butwhere would you find one?"

So they came all theway down to Louisiana,

down on the river bank, andfor a Godly family group

and they said, let's give it a try.

After they pitched the idea and left,

my sons, four sons andtheir wives, they said,

"Dad, what do you think?"

I said, a bunch ofrednecks shooting ducks.

I just don't think that'sgoing to work in America.

I said, however, I said,"What if God's behind it?"

I said, it'll go ballistic.

Well, as it turned out, I said,

"Why don't we just see?"

So we started the show and from that, Pat,

oh thousands and thousandshave been converted to Christ

via that TV show.

- It's been so wonderfuland people just live with

your family, they loved youboth, all your children,

it was amazing.

- People are still comingdown and visiting us.

We give them the gospel.

- [Kay] And a lot of good food.

- [Pat] Yeah, what kind of food are you

concentrating on these days?

- Well, I do two or three types.

I do the country meals, whichis like chicken and dumplings

or fried chicken, orthings that you associate

with the South.

And I do a lot of those meals.

Or sometimes they want Cajun food.

So we get it all the way from the gulf.

I've got somebody thatgoes down and gets it

at a market there.

And we cook shrimp andcrawfish and all that.

We make that really good.

He makes gumbos.

And we make all thatand then the next choice

would be just steak.

And sometimes he cooks awhole rib eye on a grill.

So we have that, so we havethree different choices.

- And your families all together.

I mean it's really nice thatthe people all eat together.

- That's right.

- And for all the naysayers who say,

oh you shouldn't eat meat,

I'm like, I have Acts chapter 10,

where the big sheep waslet down out of Heaven

for Peter to see.

Let's see, four footedanimals, that'd be your deer,

moose, elk, buffalo, andit also contained birds

of the air which are your ducks

and then the creaturesthat move along the ground

and the voice from headquarters says,

Arise, Peter, kill and eat.

So Pat, we got orders from headquarters

that if it walks, crawls, flies or swims,

whack 'em and stack 'em.

(laughter)

- Let me tell you what, this book,

Phil, your knowledge of the Bible

I must say is encyclopedic.

This is The Theft of America's Soul.

How'd you learn the Bible?

I mean you've gotscripture from the Psalms

in here that's unbelievable.

- He's memorized so muchyou wouldn't believe.

- [Pat] Have you really?

- I looked at the text.

- Yeah he has.

- And as I read them, one thing stood out.

It was what the Hebrewwriters said in Hebrews five.

He said, solid food, thesescriptures we ingest them

through our ears, it goes into our heart.

Solid food is for the mature,

who by constant use, constantuse, have trained themselves

to distinguish good from evil.

Well, really that's the basis of my life

when I ran up on Jesus, Ijust couldn't get enough of it

because I was thinking, how in the world

did I miss this and Ineed to be more productive

in sharing my faith andreaching out to my fellow man.

So that's what the book's all about.

- What do you see?

You said the theft of America's soul.

What do you think has happened to America?

- I would simply look backat what the apostle Paul

told the church at Rome.

Roman Empire at its heyday,

a vast superpower of that day.

The apostle Paul said,

"Since they did not think it worthwhile

to retain the knowledge of God,

God gave them over to a depraved mind

to do what ought not to be done."

Then he has this list,they become filled with

every kind of wickedness,evil, greed, depravity,

they're full of envy,listen to this, murder.

You're like, the RomanEmpire was full of murder.

Well if you look at whatthe Roman Empire were doing

and you fast forward 2,000 years.

They're gossips, slanderers,God haters, insolent,

arrogant, boastful, I'm quoting here.

And he says, they inventways of doing evil.

They're senseless, faithless,heartless and ruthless.

They'll rip their childrenout of their wombs

and sell their body parts.

You're like, what inthe world are you doing?

That's your son, your daughter.

So, reading those texts I said,

I at least need to remindAmerica none of those

sins has changed in the last 2,000 years.

Since Paul addressed the Roman Empire.

They're all the same, Pat.

They're still the same.

So, unless America repents of this evil

that they are involved in right now,

you're not gonna believewhat this thing is gonna

look like in another 20, 30 years.

- What do you think is coming?

- I think the wrath of God is coming.

That's what I think?

- [Pat] You do?

You go along with thattoo, you believe it?

- Yeah, I think it's so sad.

See I was raised by mygrandmother but I live

with her half the time.

And she was always teaching mein just a simple common way.

I mean we'd be shellingpeas and she would just

be talking to me about theBible and about being good

and it is far moreimportant the inside of you

than the outside, and all those lessons,

she just did it day by day by day.

And I had such rock there.

Now my mother was an alcoholic,

and they worked all thetime, my mom and dad.

They had a grocery store.

But I just saw such goodness in her.

And she didn't just say it, she did it.

She took food to people,she took flowers to people.

She was always serving too.

She put it in action, andyet she only went to school

til she was 13, but shewas, you know I learned that

and that's why I never had any trouble

because she taught to love all people,

no matter what coloror anything like that.

So I was so different froma lot of the people back

in the 40's, 50's, you knowwhen I was being raised.

But, yeah, I just seesuch, they just don't wanna

talk about God and theywanna live their own life

and just so selfish and self centered.

- You know we've abortedabout 60 million unborn babies

and you're exactly right talking about

selling body parts and youknow that governor of Virginia

said well if a little childis born a little bit deformed

we'll keep him comfortabletil we decide how to kill him.

I mean that was pretty shocking stuff.

- Their feet are swiftto shed innocent blood.

- [Pat] That's right, swiftto shed innocent blood.

- And there is no fearof God in their eyes.

They say, we've done nothing wrong.

Listen to this, Pat, here's a scary read.

Mark this, Paul is talking to Timothy.

Mark this down, therewill be terrible times

in the last days.

People will be lovers of themselves.

Lovers of money, boastful, proud, abusive,

disobedient to theirparents, ungrateful, unholy,

without love.

If you kill your own offspring, Pat,

there's not an ounce of love in you.

- [Pat] There's something wrong, isn't it?

- Those without love, unforgiving.

I mean we don't evengive, they came to Jesus

and said, how many times dowe forgive somebody, Lord?

When they sin against us.

Seven, he said, seventy times seven.

- [Pat] That's right.

- We won't even forgive anyone once.

- [Pat] That's right.

- Unforgiving, slanderous,without self control,

all the drugs.

Our own nephew, mynephew, my sister's boy,

Pat, got hooked up on these opioids.

My nephew hanged himself in his jail cell.

- [Pat] Oh, Phil.

- [Kay] 52 years old.

- My own nephew, collegegraduate, LSU, CPA,

had a wonderful job, lostit all including his life

and hanged himself with hisown shirt in a jail cell.

So when you read aboutthis, lovers of pleasure,

conceited, rash, treacherous,not lovers of the good,

and not lovers of God.

So you read that text,second Timothy chapter three.

That's where the book came from.

I just was reading these texts and I said,

you know I at least needto help my fellow man

and remind him of these things.

- I think it's magnificent.

It's called The Theft of America's Soul,

Phil Robertson and it's available wherever

books are sold.

And it's blowing the lid off the lives

that are destroying our country.

And it's available and Ihope it's a best seller.

I'm sure it will be.

- You know what, tellhim what your goal is.

Tell him to love God,you know the one you say.

This is his.

- I always remind them, hey America,

what's the downside, what is the downside

of loving God and loving each other?

I just for the life of me donot see the downside, Pat.

How hard could it be?

- That's his motto.

- There's plenty of downsideon the other, though, Phil.

- I guarantee you it is.

- God bless you both.

You all are terrific, and folks,

appreciate these peopleand if you ever watch

Duck Dynasty it was a smashing show

and won the awards time after time.

This family down inLouisiana, Duck Dynasty.
