HALİL FERAH İLE SESLİ KÖŞE
[{'start': '0.000', 'end': '2.000', 'text': 'The problem I can\'t solve is this: Who gets the job done better, Mr. Tayyip\'s children or Mr. Binali\'s children?\n\nAs well-educated children of modest families, they are masters of all trades.  I won\'t let them worry, they won\'t be bothered by my evil eye.\n\nThey demonstrate their talents in a wide range of fields, from shipping to mining, meatball making, and construction, and can literally crush their enemies.      I\n\n\nwatch these talents and always wonder: If this was a competition, who would win?    For\n\nthose wondering where this issue came from out of nowhere, let me tell you: It came from the situation of Ekrem İmamoğlu\'s children.\n\nA cheap gold earring was found in one of them\'s ears, and 3,000 liras were found in the other\'s cardboard piggy bank.\n\nOur smart police officers did not miss this, seized it and recorded it in a report!\n\nI guess these CHP members are really not in a position to herd even a couple of geese.    Their\n\nhouses are searched, and not even five or six full cases of money are found, let alone a room full of money that could not be finished even if distributed by evening.\n\nHowever, six safes as tall as my height were found in the house of former Minister Muammer Bey\'s son.\n\nOur colleague Çiğdem Toker wrote about an example of how the children of AKP members are practical and knowledgeable in their work yesterday in T24.\n\n1000 Investments Holding, which is a partner of our President’s nephew, his brother’s son Üsame Erdoğan, has completed a tremendous job.  It would be right if the children of CHP members were torn apart from the middle, that\'s what happened!\n\nA true-to-name investor, Üsame Bey, bought a real estate worth 507.5 million liras from Emlak Konut, one of the companies of the holding company of which our brother is a partner, for 5 million liras down and 8.5 million liras in monthly installments.\n\nAccording to the statement made by the relevant people to Çiğdem Toker, this real estate is called an "independent section" and an independent section suits these friends!  What are they going to do with the “dependent section” anyway?\n\nÜsame Bey and his partners will work to pay off this debt within 5 years, and in 2030, they will become the sole owners of the “independent section real estate”.\n\nOf course, there was no tender for this, so what\'s the point?\n\nBecause his uncle thinks he\'s an economist and drives inflation crazy with unbelievable theories, these 8.5 million installments could turn into money for a bagel in five years, but that\'s another story.\n\nOne of the partners of the holding is the son of the former undersecretary of the Ministry of Environment. As I said at the beginning, there is no limit to the success of the children of AKP members.  May God protect us from the evil eye!\n\nThey are not even modest when it comes to finding a name: 1000 Investments Holding!\n\nSo, for now, this seems like a drop in the bucket.  Target 1000 investments!  I wonder what the scoreboard is showing right now?  No stopping, keep going!\n\nNow look at the children of Ekrem Bey and the relatives of a Chief.\n\nWho deserves to be president?\n\n* * *\n\n6 bridges for 1.5 billion dollars!  In the\npresentation made to the President for the Istanbul Canal, it is stated that 6 bridges will be built over the Canal and that each bridge will cost 250 million dollars.  If bridges can be built for this amount of money, then it is indescribable how much we have been screwed over by the Yavuz Sultan Selim, Osman Gazi and 18 March Çanakkale bridges.\nPresident Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, at the Sazlıdere Bridge construction (Minister of Environment, Urbanization and Climate Change Murat Kurum on his left, Minister of Transport and Infrastructure Abdulkadir Uraloğlu and Rönesans Holding Chairman Erman Ilıcak on his right)\nMinister of Transport Abdulkadir Uraloğlu said “we have never given up, we will do it” regarding the Canal Istanbul, which Minister of Environment Murat Kurum said “is not on our agenda”.\n\nIf you ask whose word is more valuable, I will vote for Abdülkadir Bey.\n\nBecause Canal Istanbul means profit, and profit is a vital issue that is indispensable for the AKP government.\n\nI do not know the exact structure of the provincial and district organizations of this party, but I can easily say that at least half of them are people related to construction work.\n\nThat is, professionals such as contractors, architects, civil engineers, hardware makers, blacksmiths, concrete workers.    I am\n\nreally curious about this, but I have not been able to compile this information on my own.  Maybe if they make a statement about the structure of the party provincial and district administrations, we will all learn.    What\n\nI wrote is not definitive information, you don\'t need to spread it, but I made a guess at most.  I hope lawyers and doctors are not offended.\n\nIn fact, I think this is one of the reasons behind the anger towards those who prevented the construction of a shopping mall in Gezi Park.    They have\n\nlost so much profit because they prevented this work from being done there that they should be very angry.\n\nLet us not forget what happened to the İSKİ managers who tried to seal the construction planned to be built next to the dam that meets Istanbul\'s water needs.    What I mean to\n\nsay is that this huge profit cannot be missed and the day they find the political power and money to do it, that channel will be built, you can be sure of that.\n\nBecause they wouldn\'t miss out on a bonus of that size.\n\nSome scientists say that when the Istanbul Canal is built, the sulphurous water at the bottom of the Black Sea will flow into the Marmara Sea and every time a southerly wind blows, Istanbul will be covered with a rotten egg smell.\n\nIn my opinion, this rotten egg smell should be considered as a symbol that will ensure that this government is not forgotten for hundreds of years.\n\nI know I\'m rambling, but I\'ll draw your attention to something.    In the\n\npresentation made to the President for the Istanbul Canal, it is stated that 6 bridges will be built over the Canal and their cost will be 1.5 billion dollars.\n\nThat means a cost of $250 million per bridge.\n\nThese bridges will be over the Canal, which is 360 meters wide.\n\nThe bridges must be high enough for ships to pass under them, as they cannot be retractable bridges.\n\nFor example, if it is as high as the July 15 Martyrs Bridge (1st Bridge), its middle point should be at least 65 meters above the water level of the canal.\n\nSince cars will not be able to reach this height by elevator, approach roads and viaducts will also need to be considered.\n\nAnd the President is told that six such bridges will be built at a cost of 250 million dollars each, and he listens silently.\n\nSince these bridges will not be as long as the existing Bosphorus bridges, it is of course not right to compare their costs, but a little common sense is enough to see the strangeness in these works.    If\n\nbridges can be built with this amount of money, we have been screwed so much by the Yavuz Sultan Selim, Osman Gazi and 18 March Çanakkale bridges that it cannot be explained.\n\nFor example, the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge cost 4.5 billion liras.  If we calculate it based on the exchange rate on the day the foundation was laid, it is approximately 2.3 billion dollars.\n\nHow this scam was won back then, under what incentives it was won, that is none of my business.\n\nI would like to warn the President that something is up with the old bridge tenders!'}]
