## Transcript

Duck Dynasty star Phil Robertson creates more controversy with his Easter Sunday sermon now going viral. Neither the sexually immoral, nor the idolaters, nor homosexual offenders, nor thieves, nor greed, nor drunkard, nor swindlers, nor swindlers, will inherit the Kingdom of God. That month old speech at Robertson's hometown church caught attention when TMZ posted a clip of it Thursday. The site says the reality star went on to scoff at the media for not knowing the Bible, and for criticizing previous comments he made to GQ. Back in December, Robertson infamously blasted homosexuality in the men's magazine comparing it to bestiality.

He also claims that African Americans were happier pre- Civil Rights Movement and that the world and was too accepting of sin. Those comments got Robertson suspended from his family's hit A & E series. Fan backlash prompted the network to reinstate the star, but the damage was seemingly done. The one time number one cable show saw a major ratings dip when it's fifth season premiered just a few weeks after those comments from Robertson went viral. The show went from bringing in 15 million viewers a week to less than five million. And these new comments could play out similarly. They come just weeks before Duck Dynasty is set to premiere its sixth season on June 11th.

So far A & E has declined to comment on Robertson's latest remarks. Thanks for watching. I'm Lauren Zima.
