Political Climate and Election Outcome

The discussion kicks off with Willie Robertson expressing overwhelming pride in the American electorate's decision:

Willie Robertson (00:50): "I'm gonna go back to 1776, okay? And a bunch of people got together and they wrote our constitution. And it starts out as we the people... We the people have spoken."

Willie emphasizes the authority and responsibility bestowed upon the voters, urging elected officials to collaborate effectively:

Phil Robertson echoes the sentiment, highlighting the need for action over rhetoric:

Call for Unity and Bipartisanship

A recurring theme is the necessity for unity and overcoming political divisions. Willie passionately calls for leaders to put aside differences and work collectively:

Willie Robertson (02:37): "I'm sick of that. Let's walk the walk, Jack."

The hosts discuss the importance of mutual respect for officeholders, irrespective of personal opinions:

Willie Robertson (05:48): "He's been elected the President of these United States of America. Hey, if you don't respect the man, you better respect the office, Jack."

Phil Robertson underscores his commitment to serving the people and fostering a ministry of hope beyond political affiliations:

Personal Reflections and Experiences

Justin Martin shares his perspective as a father concerned about the future, advocating for open dialogue and understanding:

Justin Martin (09:16): "I think what I'm most interested in is really getting to know some of these other people... I hope that these folks can put some differences aside... sit there and talk like grown men who may not agree on every policy."

Phil Robertson reflects on past conditioning and the impact of media on public perception:

Phil Robertson (25:34): "We were always doing drills and stuff. So we really thought... they taught us that through school."

Health and Lifestyle Discussions

While the primary focus is political, the hosts briefly touch upon health issues related to diet and lifestyle choices. Justin expresses concern about dietary habits and their long-term effects:

Justin Martin (28:02): "I think that is a fundamental issue to me in this country... how do we flip that script?"

Phil Robertson humorously remarks on the cost and accessibility of healthy living:

Phil Robertson (28:08): "You can't afford to get fat again."

Concluding Thoughts

As the episode draws to a close, the hosts reinforce their commitment to fostering unity and encouraging listeners to engage actively in shaping the nation's future:

Willie Robertson (54:14): "Let's get together, okay? And let America's light shine."

Si Robertson offers a heartfelt reminder of divine guidance and enduring faith amidst political turbulence:

Si Robertson (53:27): "Because God's in control... On that day, it ain't going to matter if you wearing a red hat. It ain't going to matter if you voted blue... Do you know Jesus Christ?"

Phil Robertson emphasizes the value of personal relationships over political differences:

[Jase Robertson]

I think what you finally saw was people were tired of being told how to act, how to feel, how to. We control all that anyway. You don't need to. You don't. That doesn't need to be governed like that. That is not a. I don't know.

[Willie Robertson]

If you can tell me about that.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. And I think they finally said, you know what? We're gonna go with the one that's gonna release some of the stringencies on that and just let us be people again. And. And for that, I applaud them. You know, I get. Is Donald Trump. Jesus Christ.

[Willie Robertson]

[Jase Robertson]

He's.

[Willie Robertson]

Here's the thing. He's been elected the President of these United States of America. Hey, if you don't respect the man, you better respect the office, Jack.

[Jase Robertson]

Amen, buddy.

[Willie Robertson]

Okay.

[Jase Robertson]

And just like, I don't care who you are. Just like. I'd say, you don't made me mad. If Mr. Biden walked in this room, I would say, hey, Mr. President.

[Willie Robertson]

That's right.

[Phil Robertson]

Me, too.

[Jase Robertson]

And I would hope that the rest of our country would do the same thing and give the people.

[Willie Robertson]

Hey, the Bible says it best. Hey, give to Caesar what Caesar's. And then give to God. What's God.

[Jase Robertson]

He been watching Fox News. They've been advertising.

[Phil Robertson]

No, he heard that.

[Jase Robertson]

No, they've been. They've been advertising that app hard during the election coverage.

[Willie Robertson]

We kicked him out of our schools, for crying out loud. And we did it. Cause one person said, I don't like to see you hit your knees and praying.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

What happened to we the people?

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

We let one person change stuff.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

Come on, guys, use your common sense that God gave you a brain. Use it, for crying out loud.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah. And this has been a long battle, you know, and I didn't know which way it was going to end, but I did hit my knees and I prayed for what I thought would be best for this country that would bring people closer to Jesus. That's. That's what I want to.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. Amen.

[Willie Robertson]

And what are you voting for? Okay, men, you discussed it going down road when we're going out to do events with people. Okay. You know, it's called the fruits of the spirit. Okay. Brotherly kindness, self control, joy, peace, love, all this, all the good things.

[Phil Robertson]

I want to go toward that.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Phil Robertson]

And not away from that.

[Willie Robertson]

Do you want more of that in your life in these United States of America? Yes. Well, look, hey, how about trying to love God with all your heart, mind and soul and then, hey, share it with your neighbor. Love him like you love yourself, for crying out loud.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah. Yeah. And that's one.

[Willie Robertson]

Let's turn this mess around.

[Phil Robertson]

That's one of the things that I told my family, you know, if. Look, if you got your way with this election, don't gloat about it. You know, you still need to love people and appreciate, you know, that people don't see things the way you do, and that's okay.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, if we run it. Look, if we run a business like they're trying to run the United States of America, yo use. You know, take a football team, for example. You wouldn't hire a coach. If you're the owner, you wouldn't hire a coach. And then all you've seen is he's brow beating the players and always negative on them. You know, that won't work.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

You're united. Hey, let's come together, for crying out loud. It can be done. That's the thing. Okay? It's manageable.

[Jase Robertson]

There you go.

[Willie Robertson]

I ain't losing this fire.

[Jase Robertson]

No, he Still.

[Willie Robertson]

Hey.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, he's still shaking.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, yeah, because he's been thinking about it for months and talking about it for months.

[Si Robertson]

You know, everybody's mind, it has. And then everybody was anxious. Like, as a person who watches people, I literally run a cash register for hours upon hours a day. And you could tell people were nervous.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

And you could tell yesterday people aren't nervous anymore. And I think that would happen no matter who won.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, the stress has been relieved.

[Si Robertson]

It's just there's something.

[Willie Robertson]

It really has. The voting is over. Okay. The people have spoken. Okay. But now, hey, you know, all that, that's behind us.

[Jase Robertson]

And the thing I think I'm most interested in is really getting to know some of these other people, people that you haven't really like. Like our vice president, Mr. Vance. I didn't know nothing about him till.

[Si Robertson]

This very good name, till this got started.

[Jase Robertson]

Jd.

[Si Robertson]

I like a good jd.

[Jase Robertson]

And to be fair, as a father of young children, I'm extremely interested in what Mr. Kennedy has to bring to the table as far as health and concerns and all the things. And I'm hopeful that these folks can put some differences aside. And I'm saying even bring the likes of Mr. Cuban in there too, who's trying to help with health care fraud and all the things. Like, I hope that we can all sit at the same table and listen to one another on people that have done the work and not be judgmental and just take it for what it is and sit there and talk like grown men who may not agree on every policy. That is fine. That is that. And that's what I think. I see all this stuff online right now, right? Like I'm scared. I don't know what to do. I'm afraid.

[Phil Robertson]

And you know, why are you afraid?

[Jase Robertson]

But I can tell you why you're afraid.

[Phil Robertson]

And I think, Justin, no, it's not.

[Jase Robertson]

Even of the unknown. They have put their faith in humans. And if you put your faith in a human, guess what? You're going to be scared and they're going to fail you. Yeah. And there are so many things they.

[Willie Robertson]

Going to fail you.

[Jase Robertson]

Where if you put your faith in something that is not of this earth, you don't have that fear anymore. That I. That is the single biggest perk in my mind on this earth of Jesus Christ is you'd lose the fear. The fear is gone. The fear and dread and worry are gone.

[Phil Robertson]

Perfect love.

[Jase Robertson]

Now, the biggest gain is eternal life, obviously. But I'm saying here on this earth.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah, but what you're saying was what you're battling, okay, that goes away.

[Jase Robertson]

It goes away.

[Willie Robertson]

I'm not worried about that.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. And I think that's where all this fear and dread and anxiety and all of that stuff comes from. But like, for any of those people, I'm just. I'll offer it to you right now. You find your way to my house, you're welcome. I'm not going to judge you. We'll eat, we'll do something. I mean, I don't know you. I may end up my duck blind. It's November, for crying out loud. Like, I don't care. Like, come. I mean, come, come sit and just come sit and I'm inviting people to just have freaking conversations, man. Like, no judgment. No. None of the stuff you see on the Internet, which, by the way, some of it is absolutely hilarious. I'm not going to lie. Like, I mean, some of it is so funny. I still go back to, you know, 16 year old male and giggle like I'm in a locker room. Right. Like some of it, I find it very good stuff out. I find it very humorous. Right. But like at the same time I see it for the humor and I don't think that it's serious and I don't, I don't look at that as casting judgment or anything like that. So just invite your neighbor to have the. No matter what side of the deal you're on, who cares? Right?

[Phil Robertson]

Like, I mean, you can still love your neighbor. We're still humans.

[Jase Robertson]

We're still humans with the same basic problems. We all face the same basic problems.

[Willie Robertson]

That's not why on this earth I'm real right now. While this came out. Okay. And I'm so passionate about it. Okay. Is because I go out a lot in, in the world. Okay. And I don't see any. There's not a lot of positive signs. They're all negative.

[Jase Robertson]

Well, it's rare today.

[Willie Robertson]

No smiling, there's no laughing, there's no joy. Everything is woe is me. It's, you know, a giant pity party.

[Si Robertson]

You know, and that's not what you literally fought.

[Willie Robertson]

No, no. Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

You were literally about. You literally went to Vietnam.

[Willie Robertson]

We're, we're in the great. We live in the greatest nation in this world, folks. Okay.

[Jase Robertson]

Which I'm to the point, like I kind of low key want to make being in Senate or Congress a prerequisite of being a veteran at this point. Like, if you didn't serve, I don't want you up there and I don't care what side I'll you're on. But if you didn't serve that serving.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

Get out all the people. Just my humble opinion. We're sick of all the just garbage.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

Okay, let's get real here, okay? We're human beings, we make mistakes. Okay?

[Jase Robertson]

Amen.

[Willie Robertson]

You said, hey, y'all, come on guys, let's sit down a bit and talk to each other.

[Phil Robertson]

And so I'm gonna tell you, no matter what happened, no matter who wins that in that election, my goals and objectives are always going to be the same. I'm going to help people. I'm going to be a servant. I'm going to follow Jesus and I'm going to have a ministry of hope because of him, not because of who's in office or because of me. But that's just something I'm not going to change.

[Willie Robertson]

No, no, because Martin said it, okay. If you put, if you put a human being On a pedestal.

[Phil Robertson]

Yep.

[Willie Robertson]

He's going.

[Phil Robertson]

He's going to fail you every time.

[Willie Robertson]

Every time he's going to fail you because we're. We're not dependable. Okay.

[Jase Robertson]

But what I'm happy to see, part of it, too, is that the American people didn't fall into the trap of voting because. For a candidate. Because it hasn't been done before. Right. Like, because.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

Ms. Harris. Vice President Harris. Which is exactly how I would address her should she walk through that door. She. She was elected. She. She. The office. That's exactly how I would address her.

[Willie Robertson]

I would like her, but I would. I would show respect for the position.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. And I don't even know. I don't like her. I don't like her stances on some things, but she may be kind of cool. I don't know. Like, I don't know her.

[Willie Robertson]

I don't know.

[Jase Robertson]

I doubt it. I don't think she's gonna go sit.

[Si Robertson]

I mean, I don't think.

[Jase Robertson]

I don't think she's gonna go sit in a duck blind and eat smoked brisket with me.

[Si Robertson]

But Barack might, Barry.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Cooler than the rest of them.

[Jase Robertson]

But you know What? Even if Mr. Obama walked through that, you know, the first thing I'd say is, hey, Mr. President, like, because I respect the office and what it means.

[Si Robertson]

Obama walked in, I'd ask for a picture.

[Jase Robertson]

But what I like is that we didn't fall. That finally the people are opening their eyes and we're not falling into the trap of voting because this hasn't been done before. Right. Like, she was a woman of color who was thrown up there. Which I think that they thought that people would say, oh, yeah, that sounds like a cool idea. But the people just finally said, you know what? We want our country back. We want a healthy economy. Which we were. They can tout all the numbers they want to. But buddy, guy who runs a small business day in and day out, it ain't good. Like, I hate to tell you, it ain't good.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, see, I have to ask.

[Jase Robertson]

And not saying that he's going to put a fix to it, but at least I know what we did the last time he was there, because I have those records, too. So there was actually ways for us to build and grow where we have been extremely stagnant for three years. And that. That's just that, guys, that's math. That's not. That's not anything other than math. And if you want to tout math and science as your reasoning for this, then let's Sit down and go through the math, because I can show it to you. There's one thing that's gone up, and it's cost.

[Willie Robertson]

And, hey, there's something about it. And I don't. I'm not good at math. But, hey, math does not lie.

[Jase Robertson]

No. Now, if you're clever enough, you can use it to show lies if you want to. Oh, yeah, but that.

[Willie Robertson]

If it's real math, it don't lie.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, well, the. The math itself is not flawed. You can just. The human that uses it can.

[Willie Robertson]

You can.

[Jase Robertson]

You can manipulate the math to make it show whatever you want to. You can't make it show 15 million of what's not there. Oh, whoops, sorry. That's a different. That's a different.

[Si Robertson]

Martin, you mute.

[Jase Robertson]

Never mind. That's a different deal.

[Si Robertson]

We've been on this pride and altogether in this thing, but about to call me into the conspiracy theories, and I'm ready.

[Jase Robertson]

That's a dick.

[Si Robertson]

You just give me a lane, and I'll go there.

[Phil Robertson]

What conspiracy theory?

[Si Robertson]

Oh, we're not gonna go.

[Jase Robertson]

No, I. And look, that last one, Phil told.

[Si Robertson]

Me I can't gloat.

[Jase Robertson]

Well, the last one, buddy. Hey, you're fine. You don't have to. But the last one. I mean, I'm wearing a tank top.

[Si Robertson]

For our listeners.

[Jase Robertson]

I don't. I mean, whatever.

[Si Robertson]

USA all day.

[Jase Robertson]

Whatever happened on the last one happened on last one. The decision was made. We went with it for four years. I was never scared. I was never fearful.

[Si Robertson]

That's the thing.

[Jase Robertson]

People like.

[Si Robertson]

I just like that people are the end of the world no matter who won. On Tuesday, you're going to see tweets or Facebook posts. I got to go. Move.

[Jase Robertson]

I'm going to Canada. I'm going to Mexico. I need some poutine. I need.

[Si Robertson]

But it's like, you know, in my lifetime, what have we done? Bill George, Barack Trump. Joe Trump.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, but it is.

[Si Robertson]

And I'm still alive, and I'm still.

[Jase Robertson]

Cruising along, and people are still buying crickets.

[Si Robertson]

And, you know, so it's like I. I woke up and I was like, man, I really hope Donald Trump wins. And that's who I'm going to vote for. But I was going to go to work the next day, and the sun was going to rise. Today. Now, I'm not trying to glow. I am going to celebrate the fact that my guy won. That's fun. I'm glad he won. That's who I wanted to win. That's who I agree with.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, now that I've. Now that I've settled down and calm down, I've got it off with.

[Jase Robertson]

No, no, no.

[Willie Robertson]

But to keep it on a positive note.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

Okay. Now, all I was doing was, hey, I've given the Mr. President, Donald Trump a charge. Okay. I'm giving the Senate and the House a charge. Okay. Hey, look, let's. Let's get together, okay? And let's, you know, let's make America better than it is today.

[Si Robertson]

America. And I really want to just go great again every time.

[Willie Robertson]

Well, no, no, I'm just, you know, hey, leave it. Better than what, you know, when you came upon.

[Jase Robertson]

Well, and I think the thing that the Republicans and I. Look, I'm a registered independent. I'm not a. I'm not a. I'm not a registered person.

[Willie Robertson]

Okay.

[Jase Robertson]

I obviously lean red.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

There's no doubt about that. Just because of who I am, where I'm at and what we see.

[Si Robertson]

That's funny because I posted a picture on the Internet and people all of a sudden started acting surprised about who I was for.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. But I will say.

[Si Robertson]

And I just didn't know I was giving off.

[Jase Robertson]

This is. But this is a great chance for America and politics to show when you. When you do have control and you could just use bullying tactics and you could use straight numbers to do what you need to get done or feel like you want to get done. But it's also the. Probably the best time ever to show some true bipartisanship. And let's work together because, like, look, guys, you can oppose it and we're still going to pass it, or you can get on board and let's truly work together because the end result will probably be the same. But let's give you something. What do you. What do you. What do you want to see in this? Like, how can we.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

I don't want to just push you.

[Willie Robertson]

Around to the point and make this.

[Jase Robertson]

Really good, but you've got to negotiate from a position of strength. The red has the strength, but you have. But it still doesn't change the negotiate. You've got to be willing to negotiate. And I hope that that's what we can find in this time, is to show people that you can truly work together.

[Willie Robertson]

If you're. Yo. Your hair standing.

[Si Robertson]

Okay, we got good news.

[Willie Robertson]

[Phil Robertson]

And I don't want to dismiss anybody's, you know, feelings or beliefs. I just. That's just who I am. And I've been trained in a certain way, but when I grew up, we were conditioned to think that any minute Russia was going to bomb us, you know?

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Phil Robertson]

I mean, they taught us that through school.

[Willie Robertson]

We were always.

[Phil Robertson]

We were doing drills and stuff. So we really thought.

[Si Robertson]

From the Russians.

[Phil Robertson]

Yes.

[Jase Robertson]

He's Cold war.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, that's right. I mean, so, so I can understand. People may believe something. Maybe they've been conditioned to believe something, you know, and it's not going to be that bad under the.

[Si Robertson]

You live in the United States of America.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

If we have Some listeners in England and Australia. And I hope you take great pride in your country. People fought on D Day for, you know, England, too.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

And there's been people fighting for, you know, America, people fighting for just the world to be a better place. And I, you know, for all of the people that act like this is the end of the world, boy, there's a reality check that you need to have because, yeah, I was born in the US of A. And I won the lottery, baby, because.

[Willie Robertson]

They need to wake up. We are the world.

[Si Robertson]

Well, it's 2024. How bad is it? Like, it ain't that bad. Go back a hundred years. There was some bad crap going on that people had to suffer through. Like, our biggest issue ain't that big of an issue, more than likely, unless you're listening from a hut somewhere. And I don't know how you got a cell phone to listen, but, like, if you're listening to this, your life's pretty freaking good.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. I just hope we can get some true change. That's. That's what I. And I do.

[Willie Robertson]

I mean, we can if we start.

[Jase Robertson]

You start looking at all these agencies, man, and I just hope they get gutted and just a new. Again, a new set of people. Like, I don't keep the fda, keep the cdc, but let's get some fresh ideas in there. Let's. Let's get some fresh eyes on some things. Let's rip back the curtains on some things, and let's just talk. Let's have some. And I've said it before, let's have some open and honest dialogue about what's going on here. Like, you know, in the. In the instance of our food. And this is a problem. I mean, it's one of the things that when RFK said he was gonna. I was like, okay, this is extremely interesting, Right. Because I've always. And we've talked about this before, I think I truly believe in America, one of the fundamental problems facing all of us is that for $4 a day, you can be morbidly obese and just as unhealthy as you want to be. And if you want to take care of yourself and. And have a good, healthier lifestyle, it cost a fortune.

[Si Robertson]

I'm broke.

[Jase Robertson]

That's what I'm saying.

[Si Robertson]

I lost £50 this year, and it. Every time I eat now, it costs double what it was whenever I was weighing.

[Jase Robertson]

That should be.

[Phil Robertson]

You can't afford to get fat again.

[Jase Robertson]

That should be, oh, I could.

[Si Robertson]

That'd be way easier.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, you'd have more money in your pocket. That should be. Those two things should be flipped. Those. If you wanted to be like, back in the day, the wealthy, the truly, truly, truly wealthy were the one. I mean, that's why they call gout king's disease, right? Because you ate red meat and drank wine, like, all the things. Like. And now you see. I mean, I ain't no king. I got gout, and I am genetically predispositioned for it because I got poor functioning kidneys. That's fine. You do love poor. Yeah. And I love. I don't drink wine much, which is weird. But, no, I do love red meat. Like, and you know what? Until I get that tick disease that says I can't have it no more, by God, I'm going to keep eating.

[Si Robertson]

Praise Lord.

[Jase Robertson]

But I'm just saying, like, that that is a fundamental issue to me in this country, and one that I hope that Mr. Trump will work with Mr. Kennedy to try to figure out why and how to fix that. Like, how do we. How do we flip that script? Like, how do we. And I'm not saying get rid of Christmas tree cakes, y'all. I still. Guilty. There are some things in life that I think are worth the extra 10 minutes of walking or jogging or whatever. Like, because I enjoy them, right? Like, they're. They're luxuries in life.

[Si Robertson]

Christmas tree cake is one of them.

[Jase Robertson]

Amen, buddy.

[Willie Robertson]

Hey, life is too short.

[Jase Robertson]

But, yeah, you know, I shouldn't be able to, for $4ameal, weigh 450 pounds.

[Si Robertson]

To be fair, though, like, it was $4ameal when Donald Trump was president. Now. Now it's eight.

[Jase Robertson]

You can still.

[Si Robertson]

I'm going back to it.

[Jase Robertson]

You can still go hit them value menus.

[Phil Robertson]

That's just humor.

[Jase Robertson]

But you can still go hit them value menus for $4 every time for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. And you would just do nothing but gain, gain, gain.

[Si Robertson]

Have you been to Taco Bell since.

[Jase Robertson]

Don't take but one of them because it got about 800 calories in it. So you look at the end of the day, you're at 25 Honda.

[Si Robertson]

I'm just saying the price.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, Joe.

[Si Robertson]

I'm just kidding. Joe's probably a good guy. I'd like to sit and have ice cream with him. I just don't want him to be president.

[Jase Robertson]

Are you going to do it early? Because he'll fall asleep on. But you don't want to. You don't want to do it late at night when he's in them silk PJs however.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, goodness.

[Jase Robertson]

I'm just saying.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, I hope that happens, too, Martin. I want. I want that to happen. I want people to start communicating and having dialogue. But it's like Sai said earlier. He said, I see better than I hear. You can tell me you're going to do all this stuff, but until you do it.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, well, yeah. And you got the opportunity now. You got House, Congress, Senate, and I think, president.

[Jase Robertson]

Well, what I love is, I think. I think people are finally off the radical politicians, right? Like, you see a lot more moderate people coming. That's how some of these people won because they were moderates. Like, that's how.

[Si Robertson]

Well, that's.

[Jase Robertson]

That's how the red took some of the blue, because they were a lot more moderate red.

[Si Robertson]

Well, then.

[Jase Robertson]

Then you know, the ones out here doing, you know, like, whatever, like, and. But they ousted some of them moderate or some of them extreme blues over there. They're like, no, we got to get y'all out of here. But. So I. I think. And I think just like in life, moderation is key. Like, let's get back to the. Let's get off of this part and get back to this part I can vouch for.

[Si Robertson]

Martin has said the words moderation is key since I've known him in everything we've ever done.

[Jase Robertson]

He's like, I found that out at the Waffle House. You know what? The Waffle House. The Waffle House. The Waffle House. Every day for 18 months is not moderation. That is not moderation.

[Willie Robertson]

That's a habit.

[Jase Robertson]

I don't care how much I enjoyed eating breakfast with them old men and chewing the cud every morning. That was fine. But I looked up my £319 like I was having some bad decisions in there. And then I finally said, you know what? I'm going to kick some of them out. And now I'm, you know, however many years later, I'm holding steady in the mid-250s. Like, we're good. Because now I truly understand moderation. Like, moderation is key.

[Willie Robertson]

The phrase is a done.

[Phil Robertson]

Forget everything, everything. In moderation, you are what you eat.

[Willie Robertson]

That's the price what you eat.

[Jase Robertson]

And buddy. And that was a cheap breakfast. I don't know if the price of waffle, I ain't been there.

[Willie Robertson]

You. Not only did you have so much.

[Jase Robertson]

Fun doing it, I enjoyed myself because.

[Willie Robertson]

I enjoyed the company and everything else.

[Jase Robertson]

You know what it was, to be fair, it was the duck call room before the duck call room was a thing. I sat there with three old men Every morning. And we had conversations just like we do here. Now, some may have potentially been a little more vulgar than this because, you know, they're old men. But, like, you know, I mean, it is what. But it was podcasting before. Podcasting was a thing. It just wasn't recorded, like. But that's what I enjoyed, the sense of community those old men gave me. I would be interested to know the impact that Joe Rogan and Theo Vaughn had on this, and I would be.

[Si Robertson]

Interested in JD Vance coming to sit with us. I don't think if y'all need another podcast. It's a little smaller and a very niche market.

[Jase Robertson]

I think we missed our opportunity.

[Si Robertson]

Oh, no, no. That's what. That's what we need, though. We need them to go be normal human beings. Not these. No, but I'm the reason Kamala and Joe Biden lost.

[Jase Robertson]

I'm just saying, the boy just got really busy.

[Si Robertson]

That's fine. That's what we need, because they're not real people.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Like Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. Kamala Harris finally looked like a real person yesterday for, like, three minutes whenever she said, I lost.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Because before that, it was like, what is this robot? Do it. No offense, lady.

[Jase Robertson]

You know what I saw, but nobody saw.

[Si Robertson]

Real person that I watched.

[Jase Robertson]

Whatever. It was 12. All 12 minutes of it. You know what I saw there? Relief.

[Si Robertson]

She didn't want.

[Jase Robertson]

She didn't want to be President of the United States. And it's a tough gig. And in fairness to her, who does?

[Phil Robertson]

That's right.

[Jase Robertson]

We got the guy that got elected.

[Si Robertson]

Carter are the only two I've ever met that wanted to do it.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. That absolutely. Just want to be there. Like, everybody else is kind of like, crap. This feels like my duty. I should do this. Right.

[Si Robertson]

They did it to them again, Martin.

[Jase Robertson]

They've done it. Just in time for the holiday season. My pillows has been canceled by another box store.

[Si Robertson]

When are they going to learn that? When they do that, Mike Lindell's just going to pass the savings straight to us, cut out the middleman. Straight to mypillow.com.

[Jase Robertson]

There you go.

[Willie Robertson]

My pillow.

[Si Robertson]

This deal.

[Willie Robertson]

So on a Flight.

[Si Robertson]

So you know how everybody was terrified of who's gonna win?

[Jase Robertson]

Not Carter.

[Si Robertson]

So at 1:30 in the morning.

[Phil Robertson]

Wait, wait, wait. I can't wait to hear this.

[Si Robertson]

They call it. They call it. And I'm like, I'm gonna be the dad. I'm gonna be the best dad in the world. Because you ever hear them kids that are like, my dad woke me up after everybody else was in bed to finish the World Series. And this was Carter's World Series. So I go upstairs I'm like, buddy, hey, it's over. Let's come watch TV with me. It's 1:30 in the morning. He comes down. I hit play again because it already rewound a little bit, and it said, donald Trump elected president. And he just smiles. And I said, I thought, you know, the speech was about to happen. That was still 30 minutes away. And so then Carter looks at me and goes, dad, why did you make wake me up in the middle of the night? I was trying to be a hero, man. I knew who was going to win, man. I'm going back to bed. He walked back upstairs, went back to sleep. He was confident.

[Jase Robertson]

I love it, man. I love it. No, it is. Yeah. Yesterday was first day. She did seem human. She seemed relieved that this was over and I don't have to worry about this anymore.

[Si Robertson]

She's welcome to come on the podcast.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, I'd love to. And I think that I bet Psy.

[Si Robertson]

Can make her laugh. Like, she laughs, but I think that's.

[Jase Robertson]

One of the things that actually hurt them, is that they were invited on those other podcasts, and they just didn't do so. You lost a chance to connect with the real people where, you know, I know you could watch the movie about Mr. Vance, or you could read the book, but until you hear the man sit down and tell the story of what he saw in life and how his mother battled addiction and how he was just. He. He. He is a product of every household in America. Right. Like, there, every one of us have some story of that in our lives.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

And to sit down and hear a real person saying that, that is running for an office of great power. I think, really, I. I told Brittany, I said, I actually feel way better about this now that I've listened to him talk, because truly, he feels like one of the guys.

[Phil Robertson]

He's everywhere.

[Jase Robertson]

Like, yeah, he feels like 40. Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

He's not a hundred. No offense, Donald, but, like, it's good to see, like, because that's what made Barack Obama relatable back in the day.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

I never voted for him, but I sure would have been in his March Madness league if he invited me, because he was a cool guy and he seemed like a normal person that was trying to run the free world.

[Jase Robertson]

I'd have been a fifth in their group on the golf course, you know what I'm saying?

[Si Robertson]

Like, I would go play basketball with him, no problem. All these other people, like, there's Republicans, too. I name no names on us, though, because I like those. Whatever.

[Jase Robertson]

But it's like, but Ms. McConnell ain't getting invited. Ms. McConnell ain't getting invited to the barbecue, right?

[Si Robertson]

John Kennedy sure is.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Because he's hilarious.

[Jase Robertson]

But that's what I'm saying. Like, that's the. And I. Do you see a good youthful invasion up there on a lot of these offices, which I think is great because they're the people's dealing with the same stuff that we all are. The old man, man, y'all. Y'all go enjoy yourself. You've been there forever, man. Like, retire.

[Si Robertson]

And what side does give advice and say, if you don't like it, suck it. It's my advice. I've been around for 80 years. I got good advice. If you don't want to listen, that's your problem.

[Jase Robertson]

But get out my way. But go fishing, bro.

[Si Robertson]

That's what he does.

[Jase Robertson]

Go buy a boat or go inside Case. Go find a nephew that's got a boat. Let him take you fishing and clean your fish. Like, go enjoy the rest of your life. Don't kill yourself for public servitude because you feel like that's what you need to do. Like, you know, I get the heck out of there, man. Let somebod else do this thing for a while. So it's going to be fun, man. I think it'll be interesting. I think it is up to the people, though. The politicians only do so much. But how do we, the people meld and find common ground with each other?

[Willie Robertson]

Right?

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah. And I think. And I think that's what we're looking for.

[Jase Robertson]

And I think that's the. The key of all the things. Which is why on any of my social I never posted. Look, if you listen to us and follow me, you. You probably take a guess. The math isn't that hard to figure out of which way I lean. Like, that's not there's definitely. But I never post because my decision on who I voted for should not affect your decision. Do the research, do your things, figure out which one you like the best and go. But the main part is go with it. Don't sit it out. Don't say I don't like any of them, so I ain't doing it.

[Si Robertson]

That's bull crap.

[Jase Robertson]

That's a bunch of bull. Because Scott and everybody else, Stone has Stone. They have either fought for that or died for that. Right? So get off your lazy butt and go freaking do it.

[Si Robertson]

Hold your nose and do it if that's what you gotta do.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. Close your eye. I don't even care if you're at this point, close your eyes, put your finger out there and touch one and say, that works.

[Willie Robertson]

All right.

[Si Robertson]

Touch one of the two. Well, I mean, I'm judging you. If you voted for one of them people that was never gonna win, I'm judging.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. If you still. If you still voted for RFK even though he said, do not vote for. For me, you're a goofball. Well, no, it's a cop out. And you don't like accountability in your life. And for that, you had two choices. Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

And you had to look and say, h. Yeah. And I was like, well, that one's way easier for me.

[Jase Robertson]

I just had one. I had more check marks on one side than I did the other. Neither one of them gave me a warm and fuzzy. Like, you know, I mean, like, I'm not that. That's just the truth, but that is what makes it great. Right. Like, that you can find the common grounds with everybody. Like, there were some things that she did that she agreed with. I was like, that' actually not terrible. Right. Like, And. But there were most of them. No, I mean, like, most of them.

[Si Robertson]

But there was most of them. No, but some get alarms and say, yeah, no, no, no, you can't be six two and a dude and playing girls volleyball.

[Jase Robertson]

Exactly. Exactly.

[Si Robertson]

But my vote was against my daughter, I hear.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, that's against your daughter. And I will go, you know, back.

[Willie Robertson]

To you about talking about. Okay, I want to get to know them.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. I want to get to know these new people, man. It's going to be fun, man.

[Willie Robertson]

That's important. Because you made a guy just. You don't know him, and. And you may just immediately have a dislike for him, and then you actually spend some time with him and actually talk to him.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Phil Robertson]

And you're shocked at how much you have in common.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah. Hello. You're shocked about. Wait a minute. I really like this dude, and I couldn't stand him.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. First, he ain't half bad.

[Willie Robertson]

Yeah.

[Jase Robertson]

You know, he's not.

[Willie Robertson]

He's not what I thought he was. Okay. And that's why I was saying, hey, you know, hey, let's get together.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah. Because I have people, and I hope these people.

[Jase Robertson]

I hope these people that have been so transparent or felt so transparent prior to the election and doing these interviews and these other podcasts and things, I hope they keep that level of transparency, even though they have the title. Like, I hope that. I hope that that level of seeing through the curtain remains with them, because I think ultimately that is what got them to where they are at this point, rather than staying blocked and protected, they went out there. And I mean, like, if you're J.D. vance, right, and there's people shooting at your buddy, I mean, in a matter of self preservation, you probably. You probably are like, yeah, I don't think I want to get out there. Right. Like, you know, like, hey, somebody else. But here he goes just marching around the country like, well, you know, if this is what the good Lord intends. Is what the good Lord intends. And let's roll. Like, you know, and I'm like, hey, preach on, brother. Let's do it. You know, And I think that's where a lot of people you say about morality and you voted against your daughter. Look, hey, we weren't elected a pastor of our church, y'all.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Like, oh, trust me, if Donald Trump was the pastor at my church, I would be looking elsewhere. I said, that's an easy decision for me.

[Jase Robertson]

We weren't electing pastors or deacons or whatever you want to say as far as that.

[Si Robertson]

But you imagine when he said, turn to 2 Corinthians.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

I mean, he said that in old.

[Jase Robertson]

Baptist church, man, the casseroles would have fell out the dishes. Like, I mean, it's just wild. So that's the thing.

[Si Robertson]

Everybody's got to label the other side as evil.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

That's the new thing. And, you know, well, for all intents and purposes, I'm. I'm a bad guy. I've done a lot of bad.

[Willie Robertson]

I was just like, you're a bad guy.

[Si Robertson]

You're. We've all messed up.

[Jase Robertson]

We were all sentenced to death. But I don' Think every one of us, I.

[Willie Robertson]

Look, hey, it didn't take but one. Yeah, okay. Yeah, yeah.

[Si Robertson]

But I just don't think that there's.

[Willie Robertson]

That's why the thing when this is Judge not. Okay, I will never get that because, hey, I am not qualified.

[Jase Robertson]

I ain't. Here.

[Phil Robertson]

Go, J.D.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. Finish it.

[Si Robertson]

I forgot what I was going to say.

[Phil Robertson]

Oh, no.

[Si Robertson]

I just don't think. Think as the conspiracy theorist in the room. That's me. I just don't think, like, Barack Obama and George Bush are both evil people on different evil sides trying to do evil things to the other evil people's underlings. And I don't think Donald Trump sitting up at night going, how can I make that person's life miserable because they voted for her. And you know what? Kamala probably not evil either. They're probably just.

[Jase Robertson]

They're human. They're human. And look, man, at the end of the day they're human.

[Phil Robertson]

So I've got a lot of friends that I love who are on the other side of the aisle, and we don't see things all the same way, but we love each other, you know, and we got a lot of things in common, and we can get along even after we disagree on some things.

[Si Robertson]

Now everybody's got to fight everybody, and everybody's got an opinion on something. When used to, you didn't have opinions on everything because you couldn't vo. You voiced them to the people that you had coffee with, and they agreed with you. And so now it's this thing like, oh, everybody's out to get me. But, you know, Democrats buy fish and bait, too, and Republicans buy fish and bait, too. And I hang out with both of them all day, every day. And nobody was all up in arms. No, everybody's just talking about going. And so at the end of the day, we're all just going fishing or doing whatever it is we do, but we. We got off track somewhere where we had to be mad.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Phil Robertson]

We probably have more in common than. Than people would admit.

[Si Robertson]

We just. There's some things that now you have to take a stand on, which is weird that I have to say. I don't think a dude should be allowed to play women's sports. Like, it's weird that I have to say that.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

But you got to take a stance on it. And now I'm a bad guy.

[Jase Robertson]

And at the 48%.

[Si Robertson]

You're not 50%. You're 48 now. 48% of the country's now looking at me like, how could he say that? He. That's not right for him to tell somebody else what they can't do, but.

[Jase Robertson]

It'S like, deal with it at the same time.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah, it's weird.

[Jase Robertson]

It is weird.

[Phil Robertson]

Where do we go from here?

[Si Robertson]

Where do we go?

[Willie Robertson]

Hey, we get to work.

[Si Robertson]

I was on Trump back in the day. I kind of got off of him for a while. If you. If I'm being fully transparent, I didn't get to vote for a Republican nominee because he'd already won. But I was probably going with Desantis because I like what's going down in Florida. But that being said, make America great again is a weird saying, because I truly believe there ain't a better place, There ain't a better time. Since the dawn of man, if you were born in one of these 50 states, in the recent 50 years, you're winning, life's been easier for you. You've had it Better than most people. And it's. It's. It's great. Now, that ain't a smile on your face.

[Jase Robertson]

And that ain't saying that some of y'all ain't struggle. And that ain't saying. And that ain't saying that some of us ain't struggled before in our lives. That ain't so. Yeah, but the struggle here is much reduced compared to the struggle in. Name it. What, Ethiopia. I've been Venezuela.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah.

[Willie Robertson]

It's Africa.

[Jase Robertson]

Anywhere. Yeah. Like, I mean, okay, you know, for crying out loud, Ukraine. Like, I mean, you want to struggle, go get in on that bag, jump.

[Si Robertson]

Down in Haiti for a minute.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, go. Go get on that bag. Like, not saying you don't struggle, but the struggle we all compared to other places. And the struggles real. Like, I get it.

[Si Robertson]

Like Jesus said, you will have them.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

No matter where you're at, no matter who you are, you're going. Tough times are headed your way. Buckle up for them, get ready for them. But, boy, am I glad my struggles are right here in Westminster, Louisiana.

[Jase Robertson]

Ain't that the truth? Praise God.

[Si Robertson]

If this is as hard as it gets compared to some people I've seen, I'm all right.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, it's gonna be all right. And congratulations locally to Mr. Johnson, Ms. Letlow, for pulling out your. Your wins in this. Keeping. Keeping our area cool, you know? And for everybody out there, man, it just. Let's again.

[Si Robertson]

Let's just make America great again. It's hard not to say it.

[Phil Robertson]

He loves it.

[Jase Robertson]

Well, it is catchy. I mean, I give it that.

[Si Robertson]

It makes a great hat.

[Jase Robertson]

It makes a great hat. It's. It is catchy. But, yeah, I do like better. Let's make this sucker healthy, though. Let's figure out that stuff.

[Si Robertson]

You like that?

[Jase Robertson]

I do. I really do.

[Si Robertson]

I didn't see that coming from you. I didn't know that was going to be your thing.

[Jase Robertson]

Well, as a guy. Look, and we're all at the end of this. As a guy who is a nerd by trade and just by curiosity, it's who I've always been. Well, I never thought about this stuff before I had kids. Right. I just never did. So then you start looking at things just because we're in the age of information. Right. Still, I mean, it's all at our fingertips. Like, now, you do have to use some different lenses to look through some of that, because everybody that puts something out on the Internet is trying to sell you one thing or the other, but you can look enough places and compare enough things to realize, like, where we're going with some of this is not a good place. Like, with. With the. And I'm not. I believe, as a guy who was vaccinated. And I'm not talking about the new one. I'm talking about the old ones to go to school and all the things. Like, I don't. I'm not an anti vaxxer. Not that guy. Like, I have read all the stuff. I've read all the stuff about that, but I do think there needs to be a little bit. There needs to be a little more information provided to the general public on some of that stuff. There needs to be. Why is Europe so reduced in some cancer rates? Why we're so much higher. Why is. And if you look at it, I said it. You are what you eat. So what are we being fed?

[Si Robertson]

And you need to walk somewhere.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

And get yo steps in, people.

[Jase Robertson]

What are we.

[Si Robertson]

What steps in 2024?

[Jase Robertson]

What are we being fed? What are we drinking? What are we. What is going into our bodies that are causing these things? And why is it. Okay, why is it approved? Why is it. Why is it banned somewhere else but not here? So, like, I'm not a big, you know, conspiracy theory guy, but what is the story on Red 40? What's the story on Yellow 6? What's the story on, you know, a lot of these things.

[Si Robertson]

They're starting to sound like a conspiracy theory.

[Jase Robertson]

No, I just.

[Si Robertson]

And I like it.

[Jase Robertson]

It's curious. It's curiosity.

[Phil Robertson]

It's.

[Jase Robertson]

Curiosity is what it is. Because I don't want to knowingly, if this is the case. I don't want to knowingly be giving my children that to predispose them to something else. I wasn't knowingly given that. But the information wasn't there for my parents to gather that for your parents, for size parents, for si. Even for Philip, even that information wasn't there where it is there now.

[Si Robertson]

Well, Sy grew up in a world with healthy cigarettes.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, exactly.

[Si Robertson]

Like, nobody thought that was a problem.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, they were. They were organic. They weren't spray with Roundup.

[Si Robertson]

Like, you know, everybody thought that was, like, nothing was bad was gonna happen. I mean, legitimately.

[Willie Robertson]

Liar, liar, your pants on fire.

[Si Robertson]

That's what I'm saying. They were. But you didn't know when you started smoking as a kid, you didn't know it was bad for you.

[Willie Robertson]

Nope.

[Jase Robertson]

No.

[Si Robertson]

My papa's lungs went to crap because he didn't even smoke. But every meeting he was in, everybody was smoking.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. Had glass ashtrays all around Him.

[Si Robertson]

Yeah. And so his lungs, he died from secondhand smoke.

[Willie Robertson]

He was old.

[Jase Robertson]

That's what I'm saying. As you. As you get to these places and you know better, then you should do better. Right? And that's all I'm asking for, for us as a people is if we know better, let's.

[Si Robertson]

I don't know.

[Willie Robertson]

All right, J.D. let God end us with something positive from the Almighty.

[Si Robertson]

I believe this is the most positive thing. It doesn't sound that positive, but it's the most positive thing ever because it's what you were talking about earlier. Ain't none of us in control. Ain't Donald Trump in control? Ain't Joe Biden in control? Ain't Kamala Harris in control? Here's who's in control. And Daniel said it in Daniel 2:20 and 21 and 22, Daniel answered. And he said, blessed be the name of God forever and ever. To whom belong wisdom and might. He changes times and seasons. He removes kings and sets up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise and knowledge to those who have understanding. He reveals deep and hidden things. He knows what's in the darkness, and the light dwells with him. Look, I'm happy today. I ain't gonna lie to you. That's who I voted for. That's who I wanted to win. But it didn't matter.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Si Robertson]

Because God's in control. God was in control four years ago. God was in control eight years ago. God was in control 12 years ago. And I could go all the way to 2,000 years ago and 6,000 years ago, and he's going to be in control until Jesus Christ comes back. And on that day, it ain't going to matter if you wearing a red hat. It ain't going to matter if you voted blue. All that's going to matter is, do you know Jesus Christ? And then me and some blue people and some red people are going to sit up in heaven together forever and say, man, we were really worried about a lot of silly stuff back then.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. It didn't matter, did it?

[Willie Robertson]

That was perfect. All right, here's the deal. Let's get together. We the people, get behind Mr. Trump, our president and our Senate and our Congress. Okay? And look. And let America's light shine.

[Jase Robertson]

Amen. There you go. Go Tigers. Beat Bama.

[Willie Robertson]

That's it.

[Si Robertson]

You say hey also to our foreign listeners. I like you guys, too.

[Jase Robertson]

I love y'all.

[Si Robertson]

Probably a weird episode for y'all, but. Yeah, thanks for listening. Thanks for tuning in.
