producing animals. putting these horses in food supply. we are contaminating the food supply knowingly. we supply two thirds of the horses that are slaughtered for human consumption in mexico and in canada. tucker: why would and i know you are sincerely gravely opposed to eating horse, but why would people go to all this effort to argue on behalf of eating horsehorses when there are perfectly good cows available, for example. what is the appeal of horse meat? that s a great question. you know, the cost of raising horses for slaughter is way more than the cost of raising cows for slaughter. and the slaughter process is much more costly for horses. they have five times more blood than a cow. you know, it s just a messy
me. tucker: i have heard a lot of complaints about corporate wind farms one that they are unsightly, two that they don t produce meaningful and usable energy, three that they kill an awful lot of birds. you are saying that there is a fourth problem with them that they hinder military readiness. tell us how. you are right. they do hinder military readiness. i would say that s the primary problem. i took a tour at our naval air station in kingsville where we train over half of our naval and marine corps pilots. and there i saw firsthand look i had a firsthand look at the wind turbines. they are 500 feet tall. some as tall as 2 football fields in height. huge blades and in a cluster, we find that they affect the mission of the base. the flight path has to be changed. the altitudes have to be changed.
segment. horse meat is uncommon in this country very common in mexico and in france. nancy watson is not impressed by that she is president of the safe food, safe horses coalition. she thinks the idea serving black beauty at thanksgiving dinner is repugnant. she saw that segment and asked to come on to state her case and of course, we were glad to have her. nancy, thank you for coming on. thank you for having me, tucker. tucker: so the argument is from the other side and, again, i m agnostic on this though i don t claim to have a horse burger any time soon. the argument there are a lot of unwanted horses and news stories describing abandoned horses and that this market in horse meat might be a solution to that. that s the argument anyway. what is your response. there are no ununwanted horses in america. just recently a poll was
and in the end they rolled him and after a year more, another $62 billion of spending, more dead americans and lots of dead afghans we are losing the taliban showed that very strongly again this week. they kill another 350 afghan soldiers, four districts taken. they effective li cut the country in half by cutting a major city and also this week killed 50 kids in kabul studying or taking a college entrance exam. so the country continues to melt down. the conventional approach is not working. for the last 17 years we have basically repeated the soviet battle plan and it s not working. time for the president to make some choices. tucker: so what s the thinking here? so as you said, it s been next month it will be 17 years. next tuesday. tucker: we do not control right, a large part of the country and it s not working. is the thinking that something is going to change or why are we continuing to do the same things over and over? well that is the
process. i can t fathom why anybody would want to slaughter a horse. physically they have the long muscular necks so the head restraints don t work. the captive bolt doesn t work. i really don t know why anybody wants to bring that industry to the united states. tucker: do you think there is something degrading of a nation about eating horses? personally, i do, yeah. but honestly, it s our fight is about public health and food safety. tucker: right, i understand that. we are contaminating the food supply with toxic horses. horses meat that s sourced from u.s. horses is toxic. tucker: there is something awful about it i agree with you. i can t quite put my finger on it but i think i m on your side. thank you very much for that. great to talk to you. thank you, tucker. tucker: new york mayor bill de blasio has isolated
