He said these operators were legends of their city because they were "good", abiding citizens, so they couldn't just be put out of work. He added that even the police supported them for their invaluable service and also because there's a union that protects their job.

When the host said that the problem was insurmountable, Kevin stated that it wasn't because there were many New Yorkers who couldn't see these horses suffer or do laborious work. Kevin said that they weren't wrong and that he agreed with them.

"Either make the livelihoods of these horses way better or find a way to redploy these people who have had it running for generations."
