• 0:00
  Speaker 1: The cats and Cosby show and his masterpiece 8 a.m.
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: Every Sunday morning, the catch round table.
• 0:06
  Speaker 2: This guy works.
• 0:07
  Speaker 1: He's like Trump seven days a week, 18 hours a day.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: He's with the Catholics. He's with the Germans. He's with
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: the Irish. He's with the Jews. He's dressing up for Halloween.
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: Do you ever get a day off, John?
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: You know something? Uh, I want to accomplish every day.
• 0:24
  Speaker 2: And that's what it's all about. Uh, Trump, uh, He
• 0:28
  Speaker 2: works very, very hard.
• 0:30
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah.
• 0:30
  Speaker 2: Um, but, but he's got a lot of his disposal.
• 0:34
  Speaker 2: I got a lot of my disposal too. I mean, uh, uh, but, uh,
• 0:37
  Speaker 2: the president of the United States, uh, I mean, he's
• 0:40
  Speaker 2: in different city every night and just five press conferences
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: a day. Um, look, he is dedicated, uh, to the
• 0:49
  Speaker 2: United States of America. And, uh, I, like you said,
• 0:52
  Speaker 2: I had, uh, lunch yesterday with my daughter and her
• 0:56
  Speaker 2: German friends and, And I believe Germany is realizing what
• 1:04
  Speaker 2: the heck is going on, that even though Trump is
• 1:07
  Speaker 2: a tough negotiator, the fact is he wants to keep
• 1:12
  Speaker 2: the free world free. And if you look at all
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: the priorities, look at all the priorities. Okay, tariffs, this, that, that.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: The number one item is keeping the free world free.
• 1:27
  Speaker 2: And if we don't allow him to be doing his
• 1:31
  Speaker 2: job every day for the next two years, two and
• 1:35
  Speaker 2: a half years, then you know who's going to suffer?
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: The taxpayers. The deficit is $ 40 trillion. You know why
• 1:44
  Speaker 2: the deficit is $ 40 trillion? It's because we had a
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: lot of presidents that since, well, Bill Clinton and Luke English,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: we were down from $ 5. 5 trillion down to $ 5 trillion.
• 1:57
  Speaker 2: Since then, it went from $ 5 trillion to $ 40 trillion.
• 2:03
  Speaker 2: And why? Because we protected the world. We protected the
• 2:08
  Speaker 2: free world, and nobody negotiated the deal. President Trump is
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: a businessman. He says, look, we don't mind protecting the world.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: It's our job. But everybody should They pay their two cents.
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: Of course.
• 2:26
  Speaker 1: And Europe, and I know you say Germany may be
• 2:29
  Speaker 1: starting to realize it, but they've done a terrible job, Germany,
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: for a long time.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: Horrible, horrible.
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: And Paris is a mess, and London is a mess.
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, Italy ain't got their issues. I mean, Europe is.
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: Gone, John.
• 2:40
  Speaker 2: France, for sure.
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: France is gone.
• 2:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean, I had dinner last night with a
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: good friend, Linda, I won't mention last names, and... She
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: just came back from Paris and she had pictures and
• 2:56
  Speaker 2: it looked like a 1977 Harlem riots. Yeah. And you
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: know what it is with these people? I'm going to
• 3:03
  Speaker 2: tell you the truth because it started with normal, normal crap,
• 3:08
  Speaker 2: student riots. We want this, we want that. We want
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: better education. And you know what? The, then the, The
• 3:16
  Speaker 2: money came in.
• 3:18
  Speaker 3: The paid people.
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: The paid people who stir the pots and create riots.
• 3:22
  Speaker 3: Some of them paid.
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: Some of them like these pro-Hamas people, pro-Palestinians, just agitators.
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: They weren't using the French flag. They were using the
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: Palestinian flag.
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: But you know what?
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: Everybody out there should understand that. But you know, the
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: news never showed that. They never showed that. But WABC
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: tells you the truth. And that's the difference between us.
• 3:47
  Speaker 1: And the fact is that they came in and stirred
• 3:51
  Speaker 1: the pot. So what I said to my German friends yesterday,
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: my daughter's friends, is that the evil empire right now,
• 4:01
  Speaker 1: Russia and China.
• 4:04
  Speaker 2: And Iran and North Korea, they want to have a
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: weaker President Trump. But even our allies that are worried
• 4:15
  Speaker 2: more about money than the free world, they want a
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: weaker Trump because they want to continue to take advantage.
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: If they continue to take advantage of the United States
• 4:28
  Speaker 2: of America, the deficit will go to $ 50 trillion, $ 60 trillion,
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: until you reach the FU level someday, which could happen.
• 4:38
  Speaker 2: It's going to happen. Like President Trump. He does a
• 4:42
  Speaker 2: favor for Venezuela, but he took back trillions of dollars
• 4:47
  Speaker 2: of oil. He did a favor for Ukraine, but he
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: took back all the mineral rights to Ukraine. The other
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: thing that came up is this all started with President Obama.
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: I'll tell you why. It came up with the German
• 5:07
  Speaker 2: conversation when Putin Putin wanted to be a member of
• 5:13
  Speaker 2: the European community. He wanted to be a European because
• 5:17
  Speaker 2: he doesn't trust the Chinese either. The Chinese will stab
• 5:21
  Speaker 2: him in the back in five minutes. And President Obama
• 5:25
  Speaker 2: chased him away. First of all, he made them... Putin
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: was anti-gay. That's what he likes. You know, the same
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: thing as other countries in Europe. And the Middle East.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: And Obama... He put the Winter Olympics on the craplist.
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: If you remember, he put the Winter Olympics on the craplist.
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: And why?
• 5:50
  Speaker 2: And then Putin put all his money into the Winter
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: Olympics and he wanted to be a member of the
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: European community. He wanted to be all together. And Obama
• 6:02
  Speaker 2: didn't want that. And then Putin wanted the Crimea. Yes.
• 6:05
  Speaker 1: He invaded, just like Biden did, just like Ukraine and
• 6:09
  Speaker 1: Russia under Biden.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: It's called getting even time.
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: Yes.
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: Because the other thing he did is he knew how
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: much he banned the Winter Olympics. He knew how much
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: he wanted to go against Putin. And then what else
• 6:24
  Speaker 2: did he do? To do this, I guess we had...
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: A visit of a delegation he sent to stick it
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: up Putin's behind. Yep. He sent a gay delegation to Putin.
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: All right. Well, then Putin, listen, you're talking about a
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: very proud guy. He wanted to be a member of
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: the European community. What Trump is doing with the diesel fuel,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: it's what's best for the United States of America, not
• 6:54
  Speaker 2: what's best for the Ukraine, not necessarily what's best for Israel,
• 6:59
  Speaker 2: not necessarily. but he's doing what's best for the United
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: States of America. I understand that.
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: He's the president of the United States. He's the president
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: of the United States.
• 7:04
  Speaker 1: By the way, he still endorsed very enthusiastically Bibi Netanyahu.
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: Well, that's 24 hours away.
• 7:09
  Speaker 3: What's going to happen, Sid?
• 7:10
  Speaker 2: You're the expert on Israel.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: You know what? I don't know what's going to happen.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know either.
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 7:15
  Speaker 3: If I can lie to you and say he's going
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: to win, I don't know.
• 7:17
  Speaker 2: I like Netanyahu. By the way, Brazil, the Brazilian and
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: the Germans were very much interested in it. The Brazilians were...
• 7:26
  Speaker 2: I guess the president that's there now got reelected for
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: the fourth term.
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: He didn't.
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: By the way, there was like millions and millions and
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: millions of votes in Brazil, John.
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: Guess what happened? The night of the election, they had
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: the votes back.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Only in America do people lose elections days, if not weeks, later. Brazil,
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: millions and millions of votes.
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: You won by four and a half million votes. Yeah,
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: you won by a lot of votes.
• 7:51
  Speaker 2: I know. By the way, I want to talk about
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: the Cardinals. We had a wonderful trip. A wonderful trip.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: I went with the Cardinal. Margo stayed home because, you know,
• 8:02
  Speaker 2: she couldn't take— we were 16 hours on our feet.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: That's a lot.
• 8:07
  Speaker 2: We visited the Most Holy Church in Buffalo. We did
• 8:12
  Speaker 2: the Buffalo— Oh, that's why you were in Buffalo. Well,
• 8:15
  Speaker 2: we did five, six different events.
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: I didn't know— okay, you were there.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: We— we— we— Well, President Trump sees 30,000, 40,000 people. Me and
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: the Cardinal only saw 4,000 people in five events.
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: That's great.
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: But we went all day long. It was the first
• 8:31
  Speaker 2: time a Cardinal was in Buffalo in 30 years. The church,
• 8:38
  Speaker 2: the most beautiful church I've ever seen, the Catholic church
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: in Buffalo, Buffalo.
• 8:43
  Speaker 3: Wait a second, more beautiful than St. Patrick's Cathedral?
• 8:45
  Speaker 2: No, but the most beautiful church I've ever seen in Buffalo. No,
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: but let me tell you something. It was really beautiful.
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: It was beautiful.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: The Polish people, there was 1,000, 1,200 people there. And
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: then we went to the Buffalo Club. There was 400
• 8:59
  Speaker 2: or 500 people there. You know what it is? Those
• 9:03
  Speaker 2: are hardworking people.
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Those are real Americans.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: Those are good Americans. They go to work every day.
• 9:09
  Speaker 3: Absolutely. I've been to the football stadium there. It's freezing, too.
• 9:14
  Speaker 2: In the night, we had the dinner party with the
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: Polish people at night. And you know what I played back?
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: The one we play on WABC, the one with the
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: Polish president. Oh, that's cool. Says, I don't want our
• 9:25
  Speaker 2: country to be invaded.
• 9:26
  Speaker 3: Cool.
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: We have a great country. We don't have any terrorism.
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: We don't have any, you know, we can walk around
• 9:34
  Speaker 2: and we don't want our country being invaded. And I
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: said that. I said that to the Germans. I said
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: that to the French.
• 9:42
  Speaker 3: The French.
• 9:43
  Speaker 2: The French, if they don't fix it right now.
• 9:45
  Speaker 3: They're not going to fix it. This guy, Macron, is
• 9:48
  Speaker 3: the worst.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: How many times have we saved their back? A million times.
• 9:51
  Speaker 3: But Macron's the worst. He's the worst. You know, you
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: mentioned Cardinal.
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: Dolan, who's a lovely, lovely man and really a hero
• 9:57
  Speaker 1: in my opinion.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: The archdiocese.
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: Has agreed to pay out. $ 800 million.
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: What are your thoughts on that?
• 10:03
  Speaker 2: My thoughts is something is rotten in Denmark, or something
• 10:06
  Speaker 2: is rotten.
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: But these are all old cases, right?
• 10:09
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you something. But let's not. Look, these
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: are all old cases. But let's not. It's wrong. If
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: people were abused, it's wrong. And the people that did
• 10:20
  Speaker 2: it should be punished. Okay. But let's not ruin the institution. Hey,
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: you know, what do you, by the way, it was
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: 800 million for New York and the Buffalo institution doesn't
• 10:33
  Speaker 2: have any money.
• 10:34
  Speaker 3: You ready?
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: It was 320 million for them. Ouch.
• 10:38
  Speaker 3: Okay.
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: So let's not destroy our church institutions because that goes
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: along with the socialists. The socialists don't want the socialists
• 10:47
  Speaker 2: and communists don't want God. So what I say is
• 10:52
  Speaker 2: these settlements should be put aside. Just like baseball or football,
• 10:58
  Speaker 2: if you get hit by a baseball, you can't sue
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: for a zillion dollars. Our religious institutions should be treated
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: better than it is now. Let's not destroy our religious institutions.
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: One more. I know you heard the John Samuelson conversation.
• 11:15
  Speaker 1: You and I are on the same page. I think
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: you spoke to President Trump about it.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: I'm not sure.
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: But this horse and carriage thing, you did. This has
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: nothing to do with the health of the horses. I'm sorry,
• 11:25
  Speaker 1: Bob Holden. Sorry, all you animal lovers.
• 11:27
  Speaker 2: This is a money grab. I just want to see
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: who got paid and how much money they got paid
• 11:34
  Speaker 2: in lobbying.
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: So there's no doubt in your mind, John, that these
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: people got paid to vote that way.
• 11:40
  Speaker 2: And it's I asked, and I said it before on
• 11:48
  Speaker 2: my show, I asked a U.S. attorney to look into
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: it because the city, the state attorneys, and I'm not
• 11:56
  Speaker 2: going to look into it. It's part of the democratic
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: situation in New York. I'm sorry to say that, but
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: somebody should look into it. President Trump, I'm sure, is
• 12:06
  Speaker 2: going to ask the U.S. attorney to look at it.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: because we shouldn't use money. The horses in Central Park, it's.
• 12:13
  Speaker 3: Part of the ambiance. Of course.
• 12:15
  Speaker 2: It's part of the ambiance of Central Park. Yes. We're
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: going to destroy this. And I said this to the
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: powers that be at City Hall, and I said that
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: to the powers that be in Albany. You know what
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: it is? You had one horse die. You had one.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: It's the end of the world. It's the end of
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: the world. Meanwhile, try to cross the street on 3rd Avenue.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: These motorcycles, these bicycles are going 30 miles an hour,
• 12:39
  Speaker 2: 40 miles an hour. 28 people killed. 28 people.
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: Okay? And this congestion pricing. Look at the amount of
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: empty stores in New York. I mean, it is really,
• 12:52
  Speaker 2: really horrible what's going on. They're trying to destroy New
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: York City. They're trying to destroy New York State. And
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: I don't want the exodus to continue. We love New York.
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: So I'm going to say fight, fight, fight for a
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: better New York.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: That's what we do every day. You get the truth
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: right here with John Katzmatidis and Sid Rosenberg and the
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: whole crew. And one more in the final 30 seconds.
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: You, and I know Margo's not feeling what you talked about.
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: She couldn't do the Buffalo. Her back.
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: She's all banged up. But she came out there Thursday
• 13:19
  Speaker 1: for me. She was there Thursday for me.
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: Oh, yes.
• 13:21
  Speaker 3: Yes, she was.
• 13:22
  Speaker 2: Let me tell you something. That was a great event.
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: Thank you.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: My two favorites, you and Rosanna Scotto.
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: She loves you, Rosanna Scotto. She loves you.
• 13:32
  Speaker 2: She's a great lady. Yes. And you did a great job.
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: Thank you, John. Who has Netanyahu and President Trump? endorsing
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: you for Hall of Fame. Isn't that unbelievable? And what
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: I'm going to say to people on the national, I
• 13:49
  Speaker 2: think next year you should be nominated for the national.
• 13:52
  Speaker 3: Hall of Fame. Let's do it. Me and you are
• 13:54
  Speaker 3: going to Chicago next year. Absolutely. But when I get in,
• 13:56
  Speaker 3: you got to promise me one thing.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: I got to go to Las Vegas. I thought the
• 13:59
  Speaker 2: thing was in Las Vegas last year.
• 14:00
  Speaker 3: Either way. All right. Either way, I get to travel
• 14:03
  Speaker 3: on your plane.
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. All right. Absolutely.
• 14:06
  Speaker 3: Let's make it happen. Great to see you. Great job today.
• 14:09
  Speaker 3: I love you. Thank you.
• 14:10
  Speaker 2: Keep fighting for our city, our state, our country. You're
• 14:12
  Speaker 2: a hero. Thank you. God bless America.
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: God bless you.
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: You're a hero. You know what I tell all our
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: listeners out there? Vote for America, whether you're a Democrat,
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: whether you're independent, or whether you're a Republican. Do the
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: Republicans do everything right? No.
• 14:28
  Speaker 1: No.
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: Remember what Vice President Pence said on my show a
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: couple weeks ago? the Republicans are not doing everything right.
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: They make their version of mistakes. But the Democrats, they
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: have completely lost their minds.
• 14:44
  Speaker 3: That's what he said.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: And you know what it is? A lot of common
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: sense Democrats that I love, I love a lot of
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: common sense Democrats that I love, but They're allowing the
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: socialists to take over.
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: They're running scared. They're running scared.
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: Vote.
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: Vote for America. Vote for New York. And vote for America.
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: Thank you so much, Sid. God bless you, John. I
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: love you.
