John Samuelson, International President of the Transport Workers Union, joins Sid live in-studio to discuss the ongoing controversy surrounding horse-drawn carriages in New York City. The conversation covers Mayor Eric Adams' sudden policy reversal on banning horse carriages, which Samuelson attributes to political pressures and financial interests. They also touch on the treatment of horses, public safety concerns, and the motivations behind calls to ban the industry, citing real estate developers' interests in stable land. Samuelson criticizes Adams for betraying his commitments to the union and draws parallels with perceived betrayals by Governor Andrew Cuomo. The union's future strategies and the potential stabling of horses within Central Park are also discussed.
