We want to thank all of you for your prayers and support. The family has spent much time in prayer since learning of A&E's decision. We want you to know that first and foremost we are a family rooted in our faith in God and our belief that the Bible is His word. While some of Phils unfiltered comments to the reporter were coarse, his beliefs are grounded in the teachings of the Bible. Phil is a Godly man who follows what the Bible says are the greatest commandments: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and Love your neighbor as yourself. Phil would never incite or encourage hate.We are disappointed that Phil has been placed on hiatus for expressing his faith, which is his constitutionally protected right.We have had a successful working relationship with A&E but, as a family, we cannot imagine the show going forward without our patriarch at the helm. We are in discussions with A&E to see what that means for the future of Duck Dynasty. Again, thank you for your continued support of our family.
I predict A&E will ask the Robertsons to buy out the remainder of their contract. They never intended this redneck bashfest to become the number one show on cable. They will also require that they not use the name Duck Dynasty. The robertsons will take the deal.
Does A and E really think that a bunch of gays and lesbians are the bulk of their audience? A & E must be run by gays and lesbians. What he said was the truth. Most men like women and most women like men and that’s just the way it is.
Great response by the Robertson family and Duck Commander! So glad they are not backing down. I think it would be fantastic if Duck Dynasty would cut a deal with Glenn Beck and The Blaze network.
...in 3 months.
I think that A&E thought they’d put a “dumb redneck” show on TV to laugh at, not realizing that America would rally around the message of family, faith and freedom.
They should take their show straight to Roku or Internet TV. Let’s get this started.
With liberals ideology comes before money. They knew the family would stick together and that would kill the show, but they didnt care since it might offend liberal perverts. They will lose a ton of money but dont care.
Right same as Doomsday Preppers and Here Comes Honey Boo Boo.
Cancel cable, get Roku or Blu-Ray player with Wi-Fi and stream your channels. Duck Dynasty is on Netflix.
It’s not in the can three episodes are.
I want to cut the cord....convincing the wife is another matter.
We need a Conservative Cable network! I hope Beck can make it happen someday! the Duck People could be the flagship for a new show to highlight—faith and Americanism.
>> Wish I could cancel A&E.
I feel the same way about MSNBC. But if I were a Comcast subscriber, I’d cancel and instead get my feed from a bird. And neither do I buy GE products when there’s an alternative. So there are ways to avoid patronizing the operations promoting sodomy and Leftism.
FB is saying that Glen Beck has offered to pick them up!
To keep their ratings and fans they will need to move to another established network meaning one served in most markets and satellite. Internet doesn’t do that because a good portion of the nation still doesn’t have high speed service but almost everyone can get Direct TV, Cable, or Dishnet.
I don’t think they need beck.
(Gee, I also wonder if Paula Deen would like to do a cooking show? ....)
Just thinking out loud.
My wife reminded me that the Robertsons are Church of Christ. In that faith the patriarch is in charge. They will all do what Phil says to do.
Love it!
I have direct TV Sat Dish. How does ROKU work, what would I have to do and how much is does it cost.
