[Zach Dasher]

I am unashamed. What about you?

[Jase Robertson]

So, welcome back to Unashamed. One of my favorite guests on the Unashamed podcast, because it makes Jay squirm is Missy. The lovely Missy.

[Missy Robertson]

I really do love you, babe.

[Jase Robertson]

There's just something about having the Missy truth detector in the Unashamed podcast that just makes me smile.

[Zach Dasher]

She says, I have a tendency to embellish some of the stories.

[Jase Robertson]

You're like, mom, when dad says she's not a hoarder, but she has hoarding tendencies. Yeah, yeah.

[Zach Dasher]

And I tell her I'm doing the best I can.

[Missy Robertson]

Okay, okay. Using my words against me now.

[Zach Dasher]

Yeah, that's Missy's line for every time I say something critical. Critical. She's like, I'm doing my best. Well, there's no way to argue that. It's like, okay, don't you feel like.

[Jase Robertson]

How long have y' all been married now? 30.

[Missy Robertson]

It will be 35 years.

[Jase Robertson]

35 years. Don't you feel like that's, like, your life mantra now? After 35 years, I'm doing my best.

[Zach Dasher]

Well, and when you factor in the kids and the kids we picked up along the way, it becomes a good mantra. I mean, because there's really no. They say there's not a manual, but this is a pretty good start. I have my hand on the Bible for you listening.

[Jase Robertson]

So, Missy, I've been hearing your name quite frequently lately, all in positive about some of your cooking, mostly from mom and dad, because when we go and see them, a lot of times we've been seeing them at lunchtime, and y' all have been there like the night before and brought dinner. So it's kind of good because we're bringing in some food, you know, for them, that they love. But they've been really bragging on you.

[Zach Dasher]

She's become their favorite. I would argue.

[Missy Robertson]

I would have never in my entire marriage have thought that I would be in this position of my life right now where they. When they see me, they get up and come to sit at a table because they know that they're getting some good food and they're excited about it, and it's an honor for me to do that. And so I just feel. I feel very honored. It is a little bit of a sacrifice, but it's what I love to do for them because they enjoy it so much. And I think it also helps Jace to actually make it a priority to go and see them. And so we've been doing it, like, three nights a week, unless I'm in Nashville. And so we get to eat good, too, and we get to eat with them and spend time with them. And, you know, some days are good and some days are not as good.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah.

[Zach Dasher]

But we do our best.

[Missy Robertson]

But we do our best. And you know what? They're doing their best too well.

[Jase Robertson]

And there's something about it. We've talked about this a million times on the podcast in our family, but also in our biblical studies, about something disarming about a meal, because it joins you together. And obviously, these are situations where we're never sure quite what you're walking into on any particular day in terms of where the mental part is. So when. But everybody can share a meal, and everybody's excited to get to eat. And so it does do something to sort of disappear.

[Missy Robertson]

Well, I've also thought about, which. I know we're not living under the Ten Commandments, but one of the Ten Commandments is to honor your father and mother. And that's where we are in our life right now, because they have done so much for so many people for years, not just our family, but so many other people, that this is a way to honor them. But also. And I just want. Now that you've said that, I want to brag about a group of ladies, because there is a group of 13 ladies that they've included me on their. On their tech stream, that they have their own schedule set up to where they go visit them at a certain time every evening and twice on the weekends. And they communicate with each other. They give everyone updates about Phil and K, Mentally, physically, whether or not they did things they were supposed to, what to look out for for the next person coming in and to see these ladies interact. And one in particular really got to me because, you know, your dad has changed. His character has changed. He is very kind and loving and patient with me. Can't say about anyone else, but when I'm there, he has looked me in the eyes more in the last three to four months of his life than in the last 38 years that I've known him. And, you know, that's just his personality with women in particular. But he really is looking at me and listening to what I say, and he's intimidated me for so long now I'm just like. I think I sang to him the other night.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, you did?

[Zach Dasher]

That was moving, by the way.

[Missy Robertson]

I just wanted to tell him. I was telling him about this weekend, and I'll tell you about that, but our listeners, too, because it was amazing. But I had some young ladies in, and I was telling them about the experience, that I was able to mentor them. We had four different Bible sessions, and we talked about women in the Bible and how Jesus reacted to them. But one night, we just talked about who Jesus is. It doesn't matter what he says or does if you don't know who he is. And it's like, you know, growing up worshiping, we didn't really call it worship growing up. We just call it singing. And every song had the same kind of marching stance. And no matter matter what the words or the meaning was, but if you really look at some of those words and think about how the author and the writer wrote that music and wrote those words, it would change the way you worshiped. The one I sang was how I stand amazed in the presence of Jesus the Nazarene and wonder how he could love me, A sinner condemned, unclean. How marvelous. And I sang that. I sang that. You almost, Marc.

[Zach Dasher]

She did. She did, like, the old version when we were kids, and it was kind of a bit of a crusty atmosphere, and she was like, I stand in the presence.

[Missy Robertson]

But if we sang it the way it was written, it would just be worshipful and slower, more meaningful, more quiet. Not hollering and screaming. So I was kind of doing that for Phil and Kay, and I just started singing.

[Zach Dasher]

Yeah, you just sing. You know what I thought was weird? We never talked about this. It's because, you know, they're. They're with a group of people there, and. But when she started singing, it just got eerily quiet everywhere. Oh, I'm sure they were. You know, and I thought, now this is. This is the Lord's presence breaking through, you know, it was a little. I was having just like, don't cry, Jays, because I'm kind of like the strong one in this deal, because our dad needs a strong hand, too, but it's totally different. We have a different relationship. He's so kind to Missy, but a lot of times he's not with me just because he's.

[Jase Robertson]

Some days he's not happy.

[Zach Dasher]

He's more griping about his current condition, but he doesn't realize that's what he. I get it. I'm like, you're not doing well, Phil. I know why. And he's like, do something about it. Well, you feel helpless. You're like, well, Phil, we're doing the best we can. I literally say what we say. We're doing the best we can.

[Missy Robertson]

You just want to bring comfort and some peace and calm to them in their situation, because even though they don't quite understand what's going on and why it's happening, they don't like it. So you just. You want to bring something to them to make them feel better about the situation, and family can do that, you know, So I enjoy it. I really do. I never thought that I would, but I look forward to seeing them every other night. And if we can't go, I'm like. I told Jason I went to Nashville for a week and came back, and we were on our way to see them. And I said, is this weird? But it was when your mom was in the hospital and he was by himself, and I said, I missed your dad. And Jace looked at me and said, that's weird. We just kept driving.

[Zach Dasher]

Things are getting weird. Well, and she's right. His personality. That's why I tell people. I was like, despite the fact that he's falling apart physically and mentally, there's a spirit about him, which I know what that spirit is. That has really been moving. And he is. I mean, it's like, even last night, was it the night before, night before last, he wasn't having a good day, Just mentally. You couldn't make much sense. But a couple times he just stopped and he was like. Looked at my mom, and he's like, now, I love you. Of all the women, that's the one.

[Missy Robertson]

Thing he keeps making sense about, which is interesting.

[Jase Robertson]

You talked about those personality changes, and I saw it some with Phyllis, even before he got into. With the Alzheimer's now. But he's done that more and more with mom and is so appreciative now that she's with him, and she's there and so he will say those words that I had never heard him say either, which are powerful. So, I mean, we all get to contribute to that now, which is great. And I commend you both because you both have put a ton of effort into helping them. And, you know, I came back home because Lisa and I are gone a lot this season with traveling. So I decided I was going to do birthday pies because that's one of the things I can do well. I mean, nobody in our family needs anything. And so, like, it's something you can do that people enjoy that you wouldn't get somewhere else. So. But I only can make three at a time because that's all I've ever. I mean, I could guess I could make four, but I don't. So there were four birthdays, but I only made three pies. So somebody was going to get weeded out in the process as Mrs. Birthday, which then by proxy was. Jace would get to enjoy and sigh because I miss size Wing Ding he had at the place in town. So I wanted to make him a pie. Then I wanted to make one for mom and dad. So Willie got left out. And that the reason why is because he fat shame me the most.

[Missy Robertson]

Well, there you go.

[Jase Robertson]

So you get left out. Yeah. You don't get a five. Nothing for you, no pie for you. And so. But it was really amazing because sometimes dad doesn't always remember things we're talking about when we're telling stories. But when I came, I said, dad, I made a pie. Do you remember my pies? He said, oh, yeah. So it's like, oh yeah, I hadn't forgotten that. Remember that pie? He was like, then he would try to think of what to call the cherries. And it was like, oh yeah, I want some of that. But he enjoyed it, which was great. Made me feel good to be able to offer something like you're doing. And we talk a lot about legacy on there, which. And I want to hear about your weekend because, you know, discipling people is building long term legacy into families, into training your children into godliness. And so you have taken that on in a powerful way. And even one of. I think one of the people that were at a part of your session left this beautiful note for Lisa and I because she had read some of our stuff and had had some issues that some of our things we've talked about had helped her. And I was going to let you know that. And she just left it in our mailbox. So when I, when I got up on that Sunday, I was able to read it. It was very touching to me.

[Missy Robertson]

Well, what I've learned about this in life and just in generality, this age group of women in their 20s is they are lacking mentorship. And I had it my entire life and took advantage of that because I didn't know any other way. I had multiple women pouring into me every single week of my life. And I went to them about parenting advice. I went to them about marriage advice. I went to them just about relationship advice. And I got it. I got godly wisdom from these ladies and gentlemen. And I did not realize. And really, until Brighton married into our family, she didn't have that growing up. I mean, she has a mom, but other biblical women pouring into her life. And I have become that to her as well. Just someone on the outside looking in and giving her advice when asked. But Kendall, who runs our business at Logtown, said, you should do a mentorship weekend. And I was like, just for random strangers? And she said, they're going to come. And they did, from all over the country. And so this was our second time that we did that. But mentorship is such a huge need right now because information is in such abundance in the world, in media, that you don't know what you can trust. You have no idea. And Brighton said that about parenting. She's like, there are so many parenting manuals, basically, and books out there. Who do I trust? Because the advice is all over the board. And so you have to find those mentors that you can trust. So the mentorship that Kay did, also for these women, those 13 women that are now in this group text, they what they're doing now is totally sacrificial. This is not their family. They are cooking. They are going and buying. They are organizing things. Paula Godwin went up there when Kay fell recently and went to the hospital. I was in this mentorship weekend, and I got the note, and I said, phil is going to be very, very anxious without her. Can any of y' all go up there? And I won't read it, but Paula put in our text what happened when she got there and how she was able to calm him down, show him that she loves him, that Ms. Cave is going to be okay. She's gotten the word. She was able to give him the information that he needed. And she kissed him on the forehead and said, I love you. And he said, I love you, too. And I mean, I was just bawling like, this is not the fiddle that I've known for 30 years, but how comforting that was to him and to her and to the rest of us to know.

[Jase Robertson]

Because when you mentioned those women, I was going to say those were all women that had been called and mentored. And then also a lot of them were led to Christ by mom and dad.

[Missy Robertson]

So now it's like, who's going to take up that mantle? And now I have a couple of those weekends under my belt. And, boy, this past weekend was off the charts.

[Zach Dasher]

It actually made old Chase cry.

[Missy Robertson]

He started crying. Baptism won him the pool.

[Zach Dasher]

Yeah, I told that story. She's giving you the context, but because it was 13 women. What's up with the 13 women? Are you proving that you're not superstitious?

[Missy Robertson]

It's actually God is sending those women. I have nothing to do with it. Kendall is making sure that they are in the right place in their life to be able to be hearts open, to absorb what we're going to say and how we're going to teach them. But, you know, my friend Tara, who is an avid, unashamed listener, was there. I've known her for 30 years. And she's also one of the ladies that goes and visits your parents on a regular basis. And so she helped me this weekend. She fed into these ladies as well. And it was just a really, really wonderful thing. We gave them a Louisiana experience with crawfish and all that. But what they. They thought that was fun. But what they appreciated the most was the authenticity, which is what our family is about, the transparency. We're going to talk about our flaws and where we've messed up and how you can learn from our mistakes and then most of all, who our savior is. And he is the only reason that we are doing what we are doing today is because of his love and because of his sacrifice and because of his. He is. He is adorning us with everything that we would ever ask or desire.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. And what I loved about. I mentioned the note one of your girls had left for us is thanking us for the role we had played in helping her in her relationship with her husband. But then also she mentioned in there the Blind, that after she had seen it, she was able to open up with some things with her husband she needed to do and, you know, talk about them out loud. And it was interesting because I just told the story that day on the podcast of a couple that had told me the exact same thing this past weekend. And then she did it again. And so again, it shows the idea we're all working together for this common cause, of not just leading people to Christ. But making their relationship. Relationship stronger.

[Missy Robertson]

Yes.

[Zach Dasher]

And speaking of that, you brought a friend today.

[Jase Robertson]

That's right. We're excited. Another group of people who are doing amazing work. So we're going to take a break. When we come back from this break, we're going to let Missy introduce our guest for today and tell you a little bit about what they're doing.

[Kimberly Fletcher]

So, Al, you guys have just bought a new house, correct?

[Jase Robertson]

Correct.

[Kimberly Fletcher]

And you've sold one or you're trying to sell one?

[Jase Robertson]

In the process.

[Kimberly Fletcher]

Yes, in the process. Jill and I, I will tell you, our best investment has been the homes that we've purchased and that we've lived in. Of all the things we've invested in, that's been that way when we bought quite a few homes. And so I know the importance of making a big life decision like purchasing a home. Now market. My oldest kids are in that phase where they're looking for homes. And the one thing that I tell them is make sure you get to know a really good mortgage broker when it comes to big money decisions. What you need, you need the right information and you need guidance from someone that you trust, someone with the same values and Christian principles that guide you. If it's time to get your financial house in order, make real estate decisions, pay off high interest credit cards or lower your monthly mortgage payments. Here's what I want you to do. You got to call Andrew and Todd at Sierra Pacific Mortgage. Now, I met these guys, I actually met them at a worship event that we had in West Monroe that my daughter was singing out. We got to talking and you know, these guys are the real deal with Andrew and Todd. It's not just about the transaction. I mean, I've had dinner with these guys, spent a lot of time with them. They're good guys and they really do care. They bring honesty, knowledge and 40 years of experience to the table to find the right solution for you and your family. So for those big money decisions, Andrew and Todd had the right answers that you need for clarity, for financial peace of mind. Plus, you're going to really love working with them. I'm telling you right now that the next home I purchase, I'm going to call Andrew and Todd. Call Andrew and Todd, the guys that I trust, and they can help you, too. Call 888-TRIPLE-8, 1172. That's Triple 8, Triple 8, 1172 or visit andrewandtodd.com that's andrewandtodd.com.

[Jase Robertson]

Welcome back to Unashamed. We have a guest here. Missy, tell us who our guest is and how you guys became from.

[Missy Robertson]

Absolutely. I'll be honored. To Kimberly Fletcher of Moms for America. And I'm going to let her tell what that organization is. But I will remind the audience she is the one who asked me to do the speech at Mar a Lago. She gave me the honor of being awarded a mother of influence. And they got to spend some time with us last night and this morning. And I was telling her, not really sure exactly how I got hooked up into all of that, because. And I brought this to show her. But in the brochure, the program of that Mar a Lago event, you can see we'll show this for the YouTube audience, but for the listeners, I'm on the same page as Tulsi Gabbard with her hair blowing in the wind for her headshot. Vivek Wamaswamy in his presidential gear with the flag behind him. And they helped me to send one in, and I found one I liked and I zoomed it in, and there's my black crock pot sitting on my kitchen counter in the background. So I don't really know exactly how I got hooked in with, you know, Attorney General Lynn Finch, who argued the Dobbs case in front of the Supreme.

[Jase Robertson]

Court, and the one from Mississippi. Yes, she is amazing. She's amazing at her event.

[Missy Robertson]

And then Gracie McGillicuddy, who is just an advocate for millions of abused children over the years, and me with my black crock pot in the background.

[Jase Robertson]

So our lovely crock pots are never a bad appendage. They're never a bad backdrop.

[Phil Robertson]

It is the perfect. It's the epitome of a mother of influence. You showed.

[Zach Dasher]

Well, it's so crazy. Our lovely producer Maddie put up the episode where we told that story because it ended with actually President Trump coming in and while Missy was giving her speech. And it for all the believers in the world, in the world and in the room, it was like. Because people were like, the President's here. And I was looking at Missy and I was like, I don't think she's quite finished because she was reading Acts 17.

[Missy Robertson]

I was not done.

[Zach Dasher]

It was the most nervous I've ever been. But Maddie put that episode. We talked about it.

[Jase Robertson]

It was, by the way, it was a very momentous episode.

[Zach Dasher]

It was 1001, 1001. Want to go listen to her speech? They actually put that there. But to President Trump's credit, which meant a lot to me, because that's the most nervous I've ever been in my life. Just Seeing her in that situation, she finished her speech, and he. He gracefully listened.

[Missy Robertson]

He allowed. He allowed me to finish that speech, which is the man he is, you know?

[Phil Robertson]

Well, and for you to be anybody who's been in that situation, when the president walks in, it's.

[Missy Robertson]

I've never been in that situation. I'm sorry. It's not just running.

[Jase Robertson]

I love that Kimberly says that. Yeah. You know, when the president walks in, we've.

[Phil Robertson]

It's like a mic drop, you know, moment, and everybody just stops. The whole room moves, and everything's about him. And you're up on the stage. I have never seen anybody handle anything with such class and grace and courage. And your message was so incredibly important. And I to this day, say it made the day. It was a message that needed to be given, but. And you weren't gonna stop. And he did. He did. He stopped and he listened. And I was so.

[Missy Robertson]

He did.

[Zach Dasher]

Well, she, like, grafted him in. She's like. And he's going. Our president there, and he's going to.

[Missy Robertson]

He respects the values that our country was doing.

[Jase Robertson]

That's right.

[Zach Dasher]

She, like, made him a part of what this movement is. And she was talking about Acts 17, which is kind of us imaging God and what we do.

[Missy Robertson]

I just. I felt sorry for. I think Sharona, she finally put her hand on my back, like, okay. I was like, Jesus is the subject. So just let me finish. Get that out.

[Jase Robertson]

It wasn't as bad as dad. Did they start playing music to get you along?

[Missy Robertson]

I didn't know that.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, that's what happened to dad. They At CPAC one year, they literally just like, the Oscars. It was like, music's playing, the lights are lowering. Please get Phil off the stage.

[Zach Dasher]

I've been there. I've had music start while I was.

[Jase Robertson]

Talking, I was like.

[Missy Robertson]

They were very professional, amazing, patient, respectful. All of the. All of the wonderful things, really. So thank you again for that. I still.

[Phil Robertson]

It was an honor. Well deserved.

[Zach Dasher]

So tell us about Moms for America.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah. Okay. So I founded the organization in 2004 in a living room in Dayton, Ohio, with 26 women. And we have grown to a national network of over 500,000 moms across the country. Reclaiming our culture. That's really what this is about, reclaiming our culture for truth, for family, for freedom and the Constitution. And we are creating a silent majority movement of these moms because we are. We're out there. There are way more of us than there are of those who are trying to destroy the country and cancel everything that we believe in. And so we are that. We're like the tribe for moms or the support group, you know, where they can come and feel like, okay, I'm not alone. I'm not the crazy one. So it's really about supporting the silent majority of moms who love God, who cherish freedom, treasure family, and understand the powerful influence that we are. And if they don't know, that's one of the main things that we do, is help them understand just how powerful our influence is in our homes, our communities, our nation, and, of course, through our vote. That's really important.

[Missy Robertson]

So Thursday night of. The night of this event at Mar a Lago, there was a reception, and I told Kimberly, I said, usually we blow those off. Sorry. I mean, it's just. We usually just don't go to those. And Bonnie was there with me, and none of my family had gotten there yet. And I was like, let's just go and hear what they're about. Like, update on what this movement is. I am so glad we did, because the women in that room, I just thought it was Kimberly and her team. No, it is women all across America in their tiny towns or in their large towns. That sweet little girl from San Francisco, she's changing the world.

[Phil Robertson]

She is.

[Missy Robertson]

And she's from Africa.

[Phil Robertson]

She is.

[Missy Robertson]

And so she came to this country for freedom and realized she's not finding it because these schools were telling her how to raise her children. And it was not in a godly way. So she was just one example. But I told her every single moment. And lady who opened their mouth, I was in awe of. Of what they believed that they could do. They're not famous. They're not a celebrity. They may not even have college educations, but they knew what they wanted for their children, and they were joining with Moms for America because they knew they could make that happen. Grassroots, door to door, changing flipping counties in California. When you said, how many counties y' all flipped in California for the election, that was it. I was like, I'm hooked. I'm in.

[Phil Robertson]

And it was amazing because there were so many people who were like, asking us, why are you wasting time and money in California? California's lost. And I was like, you know what? If that's what they said back in the 70s, then it would still be a very conservative state. But those who are trying to destroy the country, they realize if you can go after the big states where the vote matters, you take the culture, you take the vote, then they silence us. And I'm not gonna be silenced anymore. And that's Nancy, our San Francisco mama. We have Moms for America groups. We don't have chapters. And the reason why that is is because, first of all, chapter's a legal term, and you have to have certain rules, bylaws that all of those chapters live by. And I didn't want to do that because nobody knows what that county or that community needs more than the mom who's there. And so we have autonomous groups. We franchise so they can wear our brand. But the other thing I said was, you have to make it about local. Because if you just go and wear your Moms for America T shirt, then they're gonna look at you like some national organization, button your nose into their community, their business. But if you show up with San Francisco Moms for America or whatever the school, district, or county is. Moms for America.

[Missy Robertson]

With the color purple.

[Phil Robertson]

With the color purple. And I'm so glad you brought that up, because people said, why purple? When we were in Texas in 2023, Texas only is in legislative session every other year, which I think everybody should adopt. But they were in session, and there were some really critical bills that they were pushing. And it was protecting girls and women's in sports, making sure that our bathrooms were safe. We had a great bill where it was putting in God we Trust. Anybody that any school that received this poster donated said, in God we Trust with the American flag and the Texas flag, they had to prominently display it in the classroom. And so it was just little things like that, positive things and stopping the negative things. And so we spent a lot of time in the legislative session and the halls during that time. And afterwards, the governor held a prayer breakfast. And our moms reached out from Texas and said, hey, we wanna attend the prayer breakfast. Can you sponsor a table for us to attend? And I said, absolutely. But I said, you're gonna wear your shirts. You can wear a jacket with it. You can wear a skirt or pants, whatever. You're gonna wear those purple shirts. And they're like, okay. And so the governor came up to them at the prayer breakfast, and he said, ladies, you have the most powerful brand in Texas. Keep wearing it. And I think the significant part of that is, why purple? Everybody said, why purple? So lavender is a shade of purple. And it's really. When we were doing the Mom's March in 2017, you're gonna have T shirts. You gotta have a color. You're gonna have a theme. And so I was looking at all the palettes, and this deep lavender came across and I just immediately looked back and said, that looks like Mom. And so I started to look up lavender and purple. Well, lavender is a color that means purity, devotion, love, everything that we are the best in us. And. And it is. Purple is the color of royalty, and we're all daughters of God, and it's red, white, and blue blended together. So it's the color that unites us, and it represents the best in us, and that is what we symbolize when we go out there. We're about lifting the culture, not getting angry and yelling and becoming like everybody else, but being that classy, standing up strong, courageous, but being. Being able to stand up for something positive and being the light where you are.

[Jase Robertson]

So, Zach, one of the things we talk about a lot on the podcast is, you know, being unashamed of our faith. And you realize that, you know, with that is going to come, naturally, some persecution, because we're going up against the evil one. And so this comes back to you. Have you found in your. In your walk and your discipling of others that people that are persecuted give you strength?

[Kimberly Fletcher]

Oh, absolutely. Particularly when you hear about what the work that's going on with our partners at Voice of the Martyrs. I mean, those guys are on the front lines of the battle, and so we want to support everything they're doing.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah, that ministry has been so important to me through the years as a pastor, especially because these are. These are stories from around the world where people are being persecuted for their faith. Our good friend Todd Nettleton, who is the voice of the Mars radio host, has written a new book. It's called when faith is forbidd. 40 days on the Front Lines with Persecuted Christians. And it's basically Ty going on his journeys through these restricted nations around the world and just, you know, interviewing people and getting their stories. And they're very inspiring stories. They challenge you. This is set up in a devotional format for you to be able to not only read these stories and be encouraged, but also then to want to help. And that's what Voice of the Martyrs is all about. And the good news is this book, which is tremendous, which is going to challenge and encourage your faith, is free. Request your free copy copy of When Faith is forbidden by calling 844-463-4059, that's 844-463-4059 or visit vom.org unashamed that's vom.org unashamed.

[Zach Dasher]

Made me think that's why God called. Wasn't that Lydia?

[Jase Robertson]

Acts 16:16. I'm like she was a seller of purple.

[Zach Dasher]

I'll be doing a sermon on this.

[Jase Robertson]

Oh, yeah, I' really? I get sermon ideas from everywhere. So I had a question for you, because I don't remember who said it. I wish I did, so I can give them credit. But somewhere a few years ago on the podcast, we either had somebody on or read something where they said something that has stuck with me. They said, if we lose the women in our culture, we lose the culture.

[Phil Robertson]

It's Isaiah 3.

[Jase Robertson]

Yeah. Oh, there you go. I should have known there was a verse because. But when they said it, reason had such an impact on me, is because, you know, being a man, you think like a man and you're in these debates and arguments with people, and then you look at you and you see our culture and you realize, to me now, just kind of looking at it from a 30,000 foot view at how most of the cultural things now, especially on the left, are being led by women.

[Phil Robertson]

They are. Women are destroying the country.

[Jase Robertson]

It is, it is. And you know, again, as a man, you say sexist, you're this, you're that. But just look at it. Just look at who's protesting, who's out there. And so when organizations like yours, from a person who doesn't know that much about it, but when I see the engagement, it just reminds me how important it is to. To be in this battle. Because, I mean, I thought these issues that you mentioned, whether it's men and women's sports, trans, all the different things, they're being led by women, no doubt about it, on the left.

[Missy Robertson]

And they're dedicated, committed, empathetic side that we're supposed to align.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, you don't you think it's ironic that all the these women's organizations, their main objective now is to erase women, to destroy women.

[Jase Robertson]

It's like, yeah, isn't that crazy?

[Zach Dasher]

Yeah, especially with the athletics and all that. I mean, you're demeaning these women who have practiced. Your friend, what's her name?

[Missy Robertson]

Riley.

[Zach Dasher]

Yeah, Riley Gaines. I mean, she's like, that's her whole point. But you told a story last night and, and it was. There was a lot of legal things going on, but you just told about all these moms going to the court, and y' all weren't like picketing and being violent, but just the power of a bunch of moms in the courtroom.

[Missy Robertson]

Please tell about Texas and the school books.

[Phil Robertson]

Okay, so this was absolutely incredible. Most people don't know that there's a textbook war. That's.

[Missy Robertson]

Most people like 99% had no idea.

[Phil Robertson]

Have no idea. And you have no idea that we saved you?

[Missy Robertson]

Yes, I. Please tell her.

[Phil Robertson]

So we were at CPAC and it was 2022, and we found out that there was a. It was 2023. Sorry. That makes a difference. We found out that the, the state school board was trying to pass this curriculum that would have been adopted in all the school books. So the reason why they call it.

[Missy Robertson]

All of the schoolbooks across the entire country.

[Phil Robertson]

So the reason why they call it textbook wars is because it's all between California and Texas. They have. Have the majority of students in the country, and so they figure, well, it's representative of the whole country. So whatever their state standards are, that's what we'll put in the school books. Well, Texas has been holding California back all these, all these years, but they've been slowly integrating these, you know, crazy things into the textbooks. Such as they have. And so.

[Missy Robertson]

Such as, like dei.

[Phil Robertson]

All of these dei and the transgenderism. Really what they've done is they started with, with simply changing. Taking out the. The history and then changing it to make America bad. So America's bad. And, and literally the school books are teaching you to hate your country, hate your neighbor, hate yourself, and completely disconnect from your. From your parents and your family. Everything that tethers you, they're. They're trying to rip away from you. And there, There is a curriculum that actually the, The Chinese Communist Party is pushing out, and they've been very successful at putting it in universities, and they're pushing it in high schools, they're pushing it in sports. But they were going to adopt this whole curriculum into the standards for Texas. And it was called teks, the Texas Education Essential Knowledge Standards. And they were going to be pushing all of this. They were going to be promoting homosexuality. And I just want to make it clear. I don't care if you want to marry a tree or sleep with a bird. I really don't care. You do you, I do me, but let's leave the kids alone. I think we can all agree on that. And it shouldn't be pushed through the schools system where you're, where you're confusing these kids and now to the point where they're, they're telling them they aren't who they are. Taking away your identity that God has given you. That is probably the most heinous thing that you could do. And it's confusing these kids. All of this was being shoved into the, into the curriculum. So we found out about it and we pulled together a network of organizations and we sat around a table at the first meeting, and we're like, okay, what can you do? What can you do? And Moms for America was in charge of. Of rallying the moms to be there and show up. And we were in charge of the messaging. And you have to. It has to be clear. Has to have some cute little pictures or icons and one page. And so we put that together and we gave it to all the moms so they could then share it, make phone calls and call the different members of the legislature, call the school board members. So they were trying to pass this in the midnight hour because they knew that we were going to win. The state school board, the election was coming. We were gonna win in November. So they were trying to pass it before the November election. And so they had scheduled a September or late September, early October date. And we had like five and a half weeks to prepare for this. And so it was the most beautiful, amazing thing because the whole room in the committee room was just filled. And they had it being live streamed as well. So I was listening to it, and here I am in Missouri, and this is happening in Texas. And we've got moms all over the country who are aware of this. They're listening because they've all contributed and made so much.

[Missy Robertson]

Seats are filled with women, with moms.

[Phil Robertson]

They were all moms. And it affected all of us around the country. So all the moms around the country were calling in and saying, no, don't let this happen. And there was a mom who got up, she's Hispanic, and she did her speech in English, and then she said, no, my time's not up because now I have to do it in Spanish. And so she did it in Spanish for all the mamas who were listening in Spanish. And it was incredible. We were able to win by one vote.

[Missy Robertson]

Amazing.

[Phil Robertson]

And then they tried to do another last minute thing. They held back one little piece of this that could have opened the whole door again. And so they had a vote that they had scheduled for November, like right before the election, quietly and very quietly. They weren't telling anybody about it, but we started blasting it out everywhere, and we won by four votes. So it stopped. And now the Texas educational standards is actually full of love America, respect Texas and families are cool.

[Missy Robertson]

See, is that not amazing? Nobody knows about this, that these are the moms who are fighting in the dark hours in one room in Texas. That's what's keeping our country free right now.

[Phil Robertson]

So there's another Story I just love to tell because people don't realize just how powerful and influential that you are as a mom. And when you think about what you were talking about with leveling the culture, we are determining it. Women determine the level of the culture. And wherever we set that bar, that's as high as it's gonna go. So if a woman walks an office and she's, you know, just got the job, she walks in the office. So she comes in dressing. Not very well.

[Missy Robertson]

Immodestly.

[Phil Robertson]

Immodestly. And. And she's cussing like a sailor. That whole office is just gonna. That's what they're gonna be. But if. But if she comes in dressing classy and carrying her head high, and they. They're still gonna swear, because that's what they do, but they'll apologize every single time because she has set the standard, and they're gonna rise to that standard.

[Missy Robertson]

Standards.

[Phil Robertson]

So we're setting this culture, and we need to rise it, because it's the whole Esther and Jezebel. The Jezebels are running amok out there, and the esters need to rise up, and that's what Moms for America is doing.

[Kimberly Fletcher]

I got good news and bad news. Al, which one you want first?

[Jase Robertson]

I always like the. The bad news first.

[Kimberly Fletcher]

So the bad news is I've been recruited into expanding the landscaping empire. Now the. The pool area has. Jill has commissioned me to do that. The good news is, is that I'm going to be able to do it at an affordable price because of fast growingtrees.com if you don't know about these guys. Fast Growing Trees.

[Phil Robertson]

Listen, if you care about your, your family, if you care about your kids, that's what we're doing. We are protecting our children. We are, we are reclaiming the culture. We are restoring the Republic. And the Republic all stands on those universal principles and truths. God, freedom and family. And that's what our foundation was. And that's how we lifted up and became the most prosperous nation on the planet. Why would we want to lose that? So we are not a political organization, we're not a religious organization. We are a principal based organization. And you can deny God all you want, but. But the fact of the matter is our founding families very much believed in him and that's history. So you can take that into the classroom and you can say, I'm sorry, I'm just reading the founding father's own words. Don't tell me what he said. Here's what he said, here's the letters that they wrote. It was very clear that the Bible is our sacred book. This is what all of our laws are founded on. So we need to go back to that place where we have that foundation that holds us together and unites us, us together as a people. And that's why we're so excited about celebrating America 250. I think this is an opportunity for us to come together again as a country and stand for those things that do unite us. The Declaration of Independence, the Constitution of the United States. I mean, that's our mission statement, our bylaws, our birth certificate. That's what unites us together. And every state that came in the Union adopted those things. And when people are coming from other countries and they're understanding more what America's about and wanting to fight for it than those who are born here. We need to turn that around. We need to change that. So we have a program called the Cottage Meeting Project. It's like Tupperware for liberty. And you can do it. In your home. You can invite your friends in. You can do it online. We have them online now. And you will learn the true story of America, the principles of liberty and the Constitution in a way that is relatable to moms. And it's life changing. That's what we hear the most. It's life changing. And even if they only meet once a month, by the end of a year, they have more knowledge and understanding of America, the principles of liberty, the Constitution, than the majority of elected representatives, judges, and attorneys in the country. And we have tons of anecdotal evidence to prove it. And we have had moms who've gone toe to toe in respectful conversations with those who represent them. And they're like, wait, wait, how do you know this? Wait, let me take notes. Because the Constitution is a simple document. It's what the people who destroyed it have tried to do. But this comes down to one thing. We are in the middle of the biggest war of our lives, and there are only two armies, gods and the devils. And you just have to decide which side you're on. No doubt God wins in the end, so you might want to be on that side. But if the devil had a religion, it would be communism. And what we are seeing is a Marxist communist takeover of our country. And the only thing standing in the way is moms, because what they want is our kids. And we are going to stand there with our husbands, with our men, and we are going to make sure that that doesn't happen. And that's why this massive mom movement has just risen to the top, because they crossed a line when they went after our kids.

[Missy Robertson]

Well, when we think about our kids, we've always thought about as Christianity is, we take care of the ones who can't care for themselves. We take care of the children, we take care of the orphan, we take care of the elderly. These are the ones that the other side is exploiting because for the reason that they are vulnerable and that they can be used. And so we have to stand up even more. And so what you're doing with moms, I told Jace, I was like, you come between me and my kids, Somebody comes between me and my kids, they're going to see a side of me they have never seen before. It's like I turn into a different animal or something.

[Phil Robertson]

A lion.

[Missy Robertson]

Whatever it is, it is going to come out. And I've had to advocate medically for my kids, spiritually for my kids, and it does. It turns you into something else. And so it's smart that the moms are the ones that are willing to be used to do this. Because I was sitting here thinking, when our kids were little, when Reed first went to kindergarten, and I was like, we're going to be those involved parents at school, private Christian school, very much in a bubble, but we're going to be involved in this. And so we went to the orientation. He and I together went to the orientation for Reed's kindergarten year. And Jase on the way home said, I am never going to those again. And he never did. I was the one, the mom who went to all of the open houses, who went to all of the orientations, every meeting, all of the things involved, because that's what moms do. Dads really don't want to do that.

[Zach Dasher]

Well, he lost me. Look, this guy gets.

[Missy Robertson]

You don't have to tell that story.

[Zach Dasher]

Can I tell that story?

[Missy Robertson]

Please? Let's not.

[Zach Dasher]

It's the most fascinating, fascinating story. Babe, look. Cause you're talking about. People have. I'm going to do something.

[Jase Robertson]

See what happens on this podcast.

[Zach Dasher]

That wasn't that bad. Look, it wasn't that bad. But I thought this is a terrible standard because he said there's one rule he, like, he really hyped it up. And he's like, there's a word we'll never say. Well, I'm thinking it's got to be a four letter word.

[Missy Robertson]

Corporal punishment. If you say this word.

[Zach Dasher]

Yeah, say this word. So I'm on the edge of my seat and I'm like, has he got to spell? It is. I mean, he literally had me riveted. And he said, and I'm going to say it. And I was thinking, I mean, there's kids here. And look, he said, and the word is. And it was just. I, I was just like this. And he said, but.

[Missy Robertson]

Like your backside.

[Zach Dasher]

Yeah, it was a four letter word. B, U, T, T. I thought, I'm out.

[Jase Robertson]

If Jace can't say, but he's out.

[Zach Dasher]

And I told my kids, yeah, I was like, you remember what he said about the butt thing? I, I'll, I'll. I will be your advocate because I just, I was so appalled.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, I wish we were back there. Holy cow. This.

[Jase Robertson]

Where we are.

[Zach Dasher]

That's why she didn't want me to tell the story. But I just thought of all the things. That's what we're going to.

[Phil Robertson]

Let's just go back there.

[Zach Dasher]

But I'm making the point that it shows you about people in charge. This old boy evidently has a traumatic experience about the word, but infused that they did a wonderful job. They're wonderful people, and I hate throwing them under the bus. But I was thinking, think bigger. There's a lot of other words that are way more offensive than that.

[Jase Robertson]

Well, imagine what we're fighting now. What you're talking about. Do you feel like you guys. Because you mentioned about textbooks and schools and school boards. Is that sort of the sort of frontier now in terms of culture? Do you think it's. I mean, obviously you guys are doing a lot of work there. I will say some of the most riveting, most like put hair standing up on my arms moments is watching mostly women, mostly moms, at. In their minutes where they get to speak to power. I mean, really talking about these issues that affect their kids. I mean, those things are inspiring to the rest of the country. And you're starting to see it more and more.

[Phil Robertson]

Well, you are. And the media stopped reporting on it because they've realized, realize this is backfiring on them. But the significant thing is that they're making. They opened the door and they went in, and they were obviously justifiably angry, but they were going in just being right and angry. And what we did was help them be powerful and effective. Because if you're just going in with a T shirt and yelling, you're losing. But if you go in and you have a compelling argument and you're speaking truth, and if you're. All you're doing is reading the book, books that the children are exposed to, and they're saying, you can't read that here because it's on public tv. Then you're like, you just made my point. Exactly. And that's what's happening. And the kids are begging. They're literally coming home begging their parents, please don't. I don't know what to do. I don't want to be picked on. It is adults that are bullying children.

[Missy Robertson]

It's abuse.

[Phil Robertson]

It absolutely is. They are physically, mentally, emotionally abusing our children, and that's why we're standing up. But this is the same thing that Hitler, Stalin, and Mao did. They all knew if you're going to take over the country, you go to the children first. And that's one of the things we teach in our Mama Bear training. The first 15 minutes is a history lesson on those three horrible despots and their jaws dropped to the floor because they realize that's happening right now.

[Zach Dasher]

And the whole entire thing. Mama Bear training.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, Mama Bear training. But the whole goal is to kill God. You can't kill God. You want to kill God and enslave the people. And that's the reason why they're attacking America. It's like the last bastion of hope.

[Phil Robertson]

And when we. When we talked about America 250, it all started these liberty trips. I wanted to do these liberty trips where families could go and they could America and the story of America. Unite us together again as a people. Stop the division.

[Missy Robertson]

And as a family. Didn't they?

[Phil Robertson]

And as a family. So we came up with this adorable little puppy, Big old puppy named Liberty.

[Jase Robertson]

You were holding it earlier and I thought. I was wondering if it was your supporting. I didn't even know. Look, she dropped it earlier and she was trying to pick it up with her feet. I noticed.

[Missy Robertson]

I didn't know that.

[Zach Dasher]

Well. Look, you've been so inspiring. I literally thought you just plucked it out of thin air.

[Jase Robertson]

It crawled around the floor for the first five minutes of the podcast.

[Zach Dasher]

Your whole speech. I've been hearing God say, send in the moms. Send in the moms.

[Phil Robertson]

Here comes the dog.

[Jase Robertson]

All right. Tell us about the pub.

[Phil Robertson]

So. So the liberty is. It's about going into all these liberty trips. We have a thousand locations that families can visit. Monuments, memorials where they can go and visit and learn the story of America and take liberty with them and take pictures and share on the Instagram and where's liberty? Wherever you are. And we have children's books to go. But here's what inspired it. I was in Hawaii and there's this little known site that is a Bedouin temple and it has grave sites and everything. But it had this little moniker that we hadn't noticed for forever. We were there a dozen times. My daughter in the back was 14 at the time, knowing about. I love America, said she. Mom, Mom. That sign says Gardens of America. So I'm like, oh my gosh, it does. And little sign. So we go up the road that was off to the left and we found this large 20 foot granite monument and the inscription on it. This is what launched the whole entire idea of bringing us together as a country. It said, in response to the promise of liberty, opportunity, justice and freedom of religion, we left our native lands which we loved so dearly. Think about that. They loved where they. But they came here because they believed in these things. And coming from the farthest corners of the world, we arrived in America. We fished her waters, farmed her fields, worked in her factory, sold her products, and realized that here in this beautiful land, we had fulfilled our hopes and dreams for ourselves and our children. Now united as one people, we work toward our equal goal of living as equal Americans. God bless America and all the good people who made her strong. That is what unites us as a people. That is what this is about. And this is why we need to cherish the story of America. Because it is what unites us.

[Zach Dasher]

Yeah. So you went up on the hill a mom. You came down a mama bear.

[Missy Robertson]

Yes. And she is. She has eight children. So that automatically makes you a mama bear.

[Phil Robertson]

Yep. Nine grandchildren. You think Mama bear. Don't mess with her. Don't mess with Grammy Grizzly.

[Missy Robertson]

Grammy Grizzly. That's another set, missy.

[Zach Dasher]

Actually, how y' all became friends? You didn't say this, but you spoke at their first event. It was the first event.

[Phil Robertson]

First.

[Zach Dasher]

And it was a couple hundred people in Nebraska.

[Missy Robertson]

I actually gave her my confession this morning in our kitchen. But. But to reiterate that, yes, they invited us to come. I think it was like expenses only you paid. Because I thought this is a great thing that they're doing. I worked on my speech for a very Long time. Sent it to Zach. He kind of edited a few things for me because I. It was bold and it was brash, and it was probably going to be offensive, but I was like, I'm sick of these people telling my children that they may not be boys or girls, they may be the opposite. And we are not going to tolerate that. We live in a real society, a real world created by God our Father and our. And Jesus our savior. And so it's like, I'm going to go out there and I'm going to do this. And I've told y' all this, but I. I told her how we just. Sarah Palin and I and Candy Carson, we're sitting here like, how did we get here? No one is here. We did our speeches and we left.

[Zach Dasher]

Because they were just getting started.

[Missy Robertson]

But you think that. So then tell me now how many people were actually listening because they were live streaming it at the same time.

[Phil Robertson]

Our best number that we were able to come up with was 3 million. So we knew that there were 5,000 downloads because we could track them, but we were encouraging them all building up to this. Apparently, we didn't tell the speakers. We didn't know we were building up to this the whole time. And it was like, listen. Meet where you are. Meet in your church. Meet in your home. One of my favorite places, there was about five women who were meeting in a spa in California and played it the whole entire time while they were getting their facials and they were meeting in parks. And so we know of at least one church in New Jersey that had over 250, 252 women who were sitting there because their feed went down and they called and we had to help them get it back up. So our best number, because we figured there were at least three to five that were in each of those settings, was 3 million.

[Zach Dasher]

Well, that explains a lot, because then seven, eight years later, we go down. Because when she said, oh, we've been invited to Mar a Lago, that Mom's for America, I thought, well, they've come a long way. And that's where I thought of that, when I thought. I think God said, send in the moms.

[Phil Robertson]

Yeah, it was 4,000 cities, 23 countries around the world. It was incredible. Glenn Beck said something. It was trying to make the exact year we were living in Omaha. I think it was, like, around 20. It was right around the time. Actually, it was. It was right around the time of the Mom's March. Of the Mom's March. And the Mom's March for America. And he had one of our speakers who was on his show, and he said, you know, I just feel like there is, like, this major movement of moms coming like we have never seen before. And last year, two years ago, Glenn Beck came and we presented him with the Champion of Freedom Award. And he remembered that, and he said, this is that movement that God was talking about. And it is the moms who are going. Because how can a man stand against a woman who's saying, don't you believe my pain? No guy wants to. No man should have to stand against that. My whole thing was during the Kavanaugh thing. Where are the women in Congress? Why aren't they standing up and saying, sit down and be quiet. You're crazy. And so if we are going to tackle this, women are destroying the country. It is women who are going to stop, stand up and save it. The Jezebels need to get out of the way because Esther's rising.
