Summary

President of the Catholic League Bill Donahue joins Sid for his annual St. Patrick's Day appearance to talk about why he no longer marches in New York’s St. Patrick’s Day parade: after defending the parade’s rules against political banners, parade leaders in 2014 allowed gay groups to march under their own banner but, he says, continued to deny pro-life groups, which he calls a double-cross by parade “elites.” He adds disappointment that Ireland has become de-Christianized, far left, and supportive of recognizing a Palestinian state.
