♪ o'er the land -- of the free you're the home of the brave ♪ welcome to "hannity." here we are in west monroe, louisiana. he see duck commander. it's the number one hit cable show in the entire country. 15 million viewers on any given week and we're going to check in with the robertson family. today we check in with willy and maybe even uncle sy and maybe we'll play basketball, we might go fishing, we may have lunch together. we may play golf. you never know. this special edition of "hannity" straight ahead. >> if you not heard of "duck dynasty," you must be living in the woods somewhere. it just launched the sixth season and it's been broking viewership records from the very beginning.
7:01 pm
>> what can i say? >> the once quiet town of west monroe, louisiana, is a tourist destination but it wasn't always this way. phil robertson was a star quarterback at louisiana tech before quitting football because it interfered with what, his duck hunting. the avid hunter was not satisfied with the duck halls on the market. so he invented his own and the duck commander company was born. willie was the ceo and the rest of the family involved as well, duck commander has since grown into a global multimillion dollar empire. eventually a & e took notice of this unique family business and the rest, well, that's history. >> all right. so here we are. we're at duck commander. we're in west monroe, louisiana. as you can see this is the duck commander warehouse. willie, i hear, is in the conference room. we're going to surprise him on this special day. the conference room. >> willie? >> johnny d. >> willie, what's up, man?
7:02 pm
? what's up? >> how you doing, buddy? what's going on? >> you're in my neck of the woods. >> we're going shooting to day. i came to go shooting with you. you invited me. >> what are we shooting? i did invite you? >> you invited me. >> i don't remember. i didn't nou know you were going to actually take me up on it. >> i flew to west monroe just to see. this is the conference room? >> yeah this is one of our conference rooms. we have several around. but this is one where we -- the original conference room we had to turn into the store. original lit store was this size. when people start showing up -- i never thought about people showing up to where we worked. i never thought about it. >> but i hear there are hundreds of people show up every day. >> it's -- it's sometimes thousands. >> sometimes thousands. >> i remember the first one i came out and somebody came up to the door and knocked on it. i said come on in. you want to have a shirt. next thing i know it was 4, 12,
7:03 pm
ripping out walls and making our conference room a store. >> 15 million viewers in cable, nobody gets those kind of numbers. why so successful? >> well, i think it's a combination of several things. i think it's certainly the family values and something that people feel like they can sit down as a family and watch it. now all of a sudden we have kids. we've got people our age. we've even got up to my parents, grandparents can watch it. and they watch it because they know that it's not going to have a lot of garbage on it. and then it's funny. if it wasn't funny, it's hard to be funny. so it's got that funny combination. >> it is you that's funny or jason? or uncle cy that is funny? >> i don't think -- cy is certainly funny. but it's the combination of all of us. that's what makes it unique. the family dynamics. >> let me barrow one of your pans. >> you were ragging my pan and now you want to borrow it? >> he gave king kong his two by
7:04 pm
four. >> let me borrow it. >> this is a competition. >> would i give a duck a bullet-proof vest? of course not. >> the editors are good. they see the story and see what's there. i just think -- i don't think he's trying to be funny. it just comes out funny, you know? and it's not like -- but there is this natural, you know, with me and jay and i think people said i grew up like that, we used to fight. and now we work together. >> he doesn't take orders very well. >> he's not good at that. >> gives you a hard time. >> i stay out of his way and let him try to work. i'm always pushing him to -- we have to do business. that's the way it's been ever since i took over. he's my older brother. he doesn't want to listen to his younger brother. >> how did you become the ceo then? >> well, because i'm smart. >> he's going to love this. >> i don't know. i think at this point you just to have the desire and jason, you know, obviously, look at him on the show, the desire wasn't
7:05 pm
there to really run it and do it. he really just wants to go hunt and be in the woods. he doesn't mind working. >> so all of a sudden people around the country growing up the beards, where did the beards come from? >> some of them. not everybody's growing out their beard. some of them are -- i haven't seen that i have seen that a lot more. that's a good inning this. i think people growing out and then they like them. i don't even think about -- never even think about having a beard. it's not -- it's part of it. i'll cut it back. i'm fixing to cut it, actually. ? in a world where broadcast tv, sex sells, violence sells and all of a sudden comes duck dynasty, family values, end of the show. you all hold hands and pray. and it becomes a hit. what does that tell you? >> still tells me that there's hope. that people still, you know, believe -- want to believe in something. even if their family doesn't do that, there are families that
7:06 pm
want to do that way. they have to say, man, i wish we were like that. maybe they quit fighting so much or maybe they learned that, i mean in this life, you only have one family. >> that's real. whether the cameras are rolling or not. >> yeah, that's real. >> every dinner, you hold hands, you say a prayer. >> it didn't seem like that big a deal. we knew it was great. it's not like we were preaching to people or, you know, trying to -- >> but you're an ordained minister. >> i am. i am. i have married a few couples. i married one -- >> we had a big religious discussion one day when you were in new york. it went on and on and on. >> if you hang out with the robertson's very long, i would say within 15 minutes, you're probably going to get into a religious discussion because we're passionate about our faith and so we want everybody to make sure that, you know, they know the hope and that, you know, life is temporary. >> we're going to get a chance do meet uncle cy and phil later. >> hopefully so if we can track them down. the problem is the rest of the
7:07 pm
family is on vacation. and so i came back a little early. and so trying to get ahold of them two is really hard. there is no cell phones or computers. >> how does your dad not have a cell phone? >> you have a cell phone. >> of course i have a cell phone. he calls it too much clutter. he doesn't want to clutter up his life. but there are times -- wouldn't you like to just say, i don't have a cell phone. you want to find me, come find me. except he's really deep in the woods. >> today? >> oh, yeah. every day. >> you'll find him? >> i'll find him. >> let me show you what's going on. >> all right. let's see what you have going on. is he working? >> yeah. well, he should be. whoa. shocker. >> where are they? you have to finish one here? >> there you go. >> phil taught me.
7:08 pm
>> that's an aggressive posture. you don't have to put your mouth -- it's just your lips. there you go. you looked like you were eating a popsicle. >> the sound is all that matters. >> i'd say it's a juvenile duck that doesn't quite -- like a baby trying to make words. >> how's that? >> not so loud. not so loud. >> all right. so here's the funny story. so one day i call your brother. he's out with your dad. and we were talking about stuff, you know, we became friends. he talks a lot about you when you're not listening. and every two minutes he'd go, hang on. hang on. sshhh. you hear this -- bam. that was the whole conversation. how many duck calls do you sell a year? >> last year we sold over a million calls.
7:09 pm
we have more people that make duck calls, too. we still make them here. it's just that, you know, the show now, a lot of people are buying duck calls. and so i have another room that has people in it that literally work eight hours a day. so when i get -- >> besides sitting over there. >> but, you know -- but jay has to teach all the new guys how to make the calls, you know, the technical aspects. it's like a musical instrument. it's not like anybody can throw a duck call together. >> how did your father start this business and he started 40 years ago? >> yeah, he just wanted a better duck call. >> i watch the show a lot. they are always playing basketball. where is the basketball snoop. >> it's out there. >> see if we -- >> they probably hid the basketball from us. >> when we come back, willie and i are going to shoot some basketball hoops. i think we'll play lal one-on-one and see who has the better game as "hannity" continues. my daughter is studying to be a dentist,

because just one 200mg celebrex a day can provide 24 hour relief for many with arthritis pain and inflammation. plus, in clinical studies, celebrex is proven to improve daily physical function so moving is easier. celebrex can be taken with or without food. and it's not a narcotic. you and your doctor should balance the benefits with the risks. all prescription nsaids, like celebrex, ibuprofen, naproxen and meloxicam have the same cardiovascular warning. they all may increase the chance of heart attack or stroke, which can lead to death. this chance increases if you have heart disease or risk factors such as high blood pressure or when nsaids are taken for long periods. nsaids, like celebrex, increase the chance of serious skin or allergic reactions, or stomach and intestine problems, such as bleeding and ulcers, which can occur without warning and may cause death. patients also taking aspirin and the elderly are at increased risk for stomach bleeding and ulcers. don't take celebrex if you have bleeding in the stomach or intestine, or had an asthma attack, hives, other allergies to aspirin, nsaids or sulfonamides. get help right away if you have swelling of the face or throat,

>> i have a master degree in education. i sat in the classes and heard the professors pontificate. i just studied enough in between hunting ducks and deer, i studied enough to come out with an old solid c. that's why i say i'm a c plus man. i basically said i'm a c plus man. i don't own a suit, i don't own a cell phone. doiblt own a ring or watch. i'm tired of light mainly because it's less clutter. my point was with no government assistance, i started fishing the river, surviving off the fish i caught and i sold. came up with an idea on duck calls. now me, cy and the whole robertson clan, we're all multimillionaires and we're famous. my point was in america loving god, ask for his blessings, work hard, you say i'm all in. if this thing goes, it goes. if it doesn't, we'll try
7:46 pm
something else. so i'm just living example in the u.s. it's america, man. suck it up and get after it and go to work, come up with an idea, come up with something. you know, a lot of hard work, long hours and now we're seeing the fruits of our labor and, you know, with this much government assistance. it's an american success story. there are many just like me who do the same thing. >> i've been trying to get people jobs in the energy industry. i partner with the energy companies in north dakota and midland, texas. we have thousands of people jobs now. high paying. if you have a ged, you can start at $75,000 a year. if i was making that when i was working hard, good money. but yet, one political question. i won't get too political. 50 million americans on food stamps. 50 million americans on poverty. the lowest labor participation rate since 1978. that's, for me, politically unacceptable. >> the safety net for the aged
7:47 pm
and the ones who have severe disabilities biblically speaking they'll always be there. we ought to look after them. 300 million time or not are not that hard. basically what we've turned our freedom and our good hearts in america to help people, they just turned that into, i think, the politicians have turned that into a way to control people the we'll pay you if you vote for us. base liically what it s it is corrupt. we have a superpower but right now the current time with about a third world leadership running the thing. and there is corruption and i mean just jind sucking sound coming out of washington, d.c. it's just -- they basically are saying give us intellect and money and we can do anything. if that were true, if it took
7:48 pm
intellect and the people's money, why are we almost $18 trillion in the hole? i'm looking at it as a c plus man and i'm thinking you touted the idea of interlekt and money much that's not too smart to go $18 trillion in the hole. how much will it take? >> you know, it's interesting you say that. i brought this up with uncle cy before. i said how is it possible about government, this is my one political question for him, that government would spend $700 million and have four years -- you don't use a computer, but it's pretty easy to build a website. 2013, 2014 and they still screwed it up. how do you screw it up that bad? how do you mess up? that is almost impossible. i had a guy on my show that said he could have built that website for $1 million. not $700 million. >> oh, yeah.
7:49 pm
it just -- it's just an observation, these bureaucracies, someone says but mr. robertson, if you were president of the united states, what would the first thing you would do? i'd make sure we got plenty of ducks out of canada. that's the first thing i'd do. i would take the money from the people in the middle east and everywhere else that don't even like us, i would take that money, i would send it to the canadians. i like the canadians. that's where most of the ducks come from. i make sure the canadian splentz of money to send us ducks. i'd start right there. and then i'd basically gut and gut means that's an old red neck term. i would gut it, strip it, cut the guts out of all these bureaucracies but one. i would leave the department of defense alone. i would up -- i would give them more money. i would make sure that we didn't have the biggest stick. i would make sure with a much smaller bunch of bureaucracies
7:50 pm
running around up there except for the department of defense and i would give them -- i would say make me a huge club. we're not going to want to use it. but when we decide take care of the guys and gals that risk their lives for us and lose their lives for us. >> you taught yourself how to finish. it was a big year when you sold 8,000 duck calls. >> yes. $8,000 worth. next year, 22, next year, 32, then, 37. so i said miss kaye, we're rolling! she said we're going to starve to death. >> you were living >> right here, this country

kitchen the house we had there didn't cost as much as this country kitchen. so i asked her i said when do you start feeling rich and famous? she said you're the type you're so content that you were fishing in the river and eating. we had money to pay the light bill. you were so content then, it doesn't mean that much to you. do you see what i'm saying? only thing it means is that you can say i made it. other than that -- >> your life is not different? >> no. eat the same food, wear the same clothes. sunday morning i meet with the brothers these days they drive to the airport. we've got on one plane, they had
7:52 pm
their own stewedess with a stick on shrimp on a stick. and i turned around and said i this being rich is pretty fun. said man. thank you, can you give you anything? i said let me see how much shrimp you've got there. >> red necks made good, sean. >> i'm go to ask you this question. >> mushrooms, onion a little sauce and brine in this. liquid smoke. a little bit of flour, or corn starch to thicken that a little bit.
7:53 pm
when we eat it, that is the side i've got the baked potatoes, fixing to brown you a little bread. back 30 something years ago we were fishing the river, and you know $0.30 a pound buffalo, and the duck calls were selling for $4.27 to the store. retailing about $9.99. first year, where we eating rib eye steak like this? that would be negative. and when red necks do well you say next thing you know you bring out rib eyes the menu increased. this thing is out of control, now. >> do you look, and feel, i've been poor with you.
