A&E: Talks with Duck Dynasty Family Resuming Soon
Is it the end of Duck Dynasty?
The hit reality show and an estimated 400 million dollar empire may be in jeopardy as controversy continues to surround the show's star, Phil Robertson.
A new video surfaced Friday of Robertson calling homosexuals "God haters" during a sermon he gave in 2010.
A&E suspended Robertson for making controversial comments about blacks and homosexuality, but his family is standing by him.
In a statement they say, "We cannot imagine the show going forward without our patriarch at the helm. We are in discussions with A&E to see what that means for the future of Duck Dynasty."

'Duck Dynasty' fans outraged over Phil Robertson suspension for gay remarks
A national conversation has started after a popular 'Duck Dynasty' star was suspended by A&E for controversial comments about sexuality, religion and race.
Supporters of Phil Robertson have come out swinging.
They claim the self-proclaimed redneck is being unfairly targeted for speaking publicly about a divisive issue that a large percentage of the population still agrees with.
GOP Sen. Ted Cruz of Texas weighed in on TV reality star's forced leave from the series.

Cruz, a potential 2016 presidential candidate, also defended Robertson in a post to his Facebook page titled: "Free Speech Matters"
"The reason that so many Americans love Duck Dynasty is because it represents the America usually ignored or mocked by liberal elites: a family that loves and cares for each other, believes in God, and speaks openly about their faith," Cruz said.
Does their argument add up?
