  Speaker 5: Didn't they do that before? What's gonna happen? They put
• 3:02
  Speaker 5: their people around here.
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: Well, we took out one bridge. It was the newest,
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: most expensive bridge they had. And the reason we took
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: that out it was only being used for military purpose
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: is it was being used to transport troops and weapons.
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: But if we have to, we'll start taking out bridges.
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: And by the way, you're gonna hear war crimes. They're
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: gonna yell war crimes. Every war we've ever fought, we
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: took out bridges and power plants usually day one both
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: Iraq wars. That's what we did the first day, took
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: out bridges and power plants. You know that crazy Senator
• 3:32
  Speaker 1: Mark Kelly who's on TV yelling about war crimes. He
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: also brags that he was a combat pilot and in
• 3:40
  Speaker 1: the war in Iraq. Well, that's what he did as
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: a combat pilot, took out bridges and power plants. But

  Speaker 1: it's perfectly perfectly normal. Let's go to Vincent and Brooklyn. Vincent,
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: how you doing.
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: Good morning, Mark, Good morning Mike flu Florida. Forgot to
• 3:54
  Speaker 3: mention that these billionaires who own these companies, they employ
• 3:59
  Speaker 3: hundreds of thousands of workers who also contribute to the
• 4:03
  Speaker 3: tax base. If these billionaires didn't start these businesses, you
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: wouldn't have these workers, their lives wouldn't be improven, and
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: they wouldn't add to the tax base. Beaver Face Mandami
• 4:15
  Speaker 3: and Katty Holcom are so disingenuous. They make it sound
• 4:21
  Speaker 3: like these people who have these second homes are feeding
• 4:26
  Speaker 3: at the public truth like they are. The New York
• 4:29
  Speaker 3: posted an expose a they didn't give the address of.
• 4:33
  Speaker 3: It's probably a co op, a second home in the
• 4:37
  Speaker 3: village that was worked just five million dollars. That's it
• 4:42
  Speaker 3: sucsessed value. They went into the Department of Finance records
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: that person who owns that co op, it's not even
• 4:50
  Speaker 3: a whole building, pays eighty four thousand dollars a year
• 4:56
  Speaker 3: in taxes. And when most people don't know, and I
• 5:00
  Speaker 3: know this because I'm involved in real estate, if it's
• 5:04
  Speaker 3: your second home, you don't get any considerations like if
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: it's your primary, your primary home, you don't pay as
• 5:13
  Speaker 3: much in school taxes, et cetera, et cetera. No, it's
• 5:17
  Speaker 3: all talks about them using up resources. The second home
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: uses less resources. Of course they're not there. They're not
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: paying water. They don't have to pay water because they're
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: not using it.
• 5:30
