nick for this little meal liberal con morning jaunt and syria u.k. prime minister theresa may spend roughly six point three million euros on the eight storm shadow missiles are fired into an alleged research facility near almost ben ray of common space points out quote that it costs twenty three thousand four hundred twenty pounds to resettle a syrian refugee per year. six point thirty two million pounds could therefore resettle two hundred sixty nine refugees from syria. and remember these figures are just for the missiles alone we haven't even begun thinking about the cost of fuel logistics and the man hours the women of the strike imagine how many schools hospitals or affordable housing you could buy for the cost of one friday night out on the town with the military industrial complex this is why we are always watching the hawks. what. it looks

like. it's like. the bottom. like you but i got. this. week so. well to the watch of the horse i am to roll the story and i'm going to tell us i mean ninety two point four million dollar. i mean you know you could feed people what they are a payoffs a bunch of people student loans or there could be markets or. you could do this some of those are by missiles or they make fancy lights and everybody they're making a go boom they make you know male politicians people adequate finally you know that

adds a little expenditure to certain things to say you know what you can blow up you know brown people half way around the world makes feel tough well you know you've got a bunch of politicians who are. who are definitely having some problems at home with a little bit of pushback on what their agenda was so you trace the mayors in the middle of all this you have trumpets in the middle of all of this here and of course you have my crown has now been questioned about what israel i mean i'm so. it's all the leg. very very well the dog yes very well the dog very and the money alone when you really look at it and just the best of the land going how much do you know and everybody here i mean look this was a big week for lockheed martin and raytheon raytheon especially got a big big friday night saturday morning like they know how to party i mean lucky martin's joint air to surface standoff missile has extended range talk about a name for jazz meter which c m b c calls a stealthy long range air to ground missile made its combat debut in the serious

drugs they dusted jazz mirror up like a look at what we got we got jazz mere. casio as. well according to jail jasmine cost taxpayers u.s. taxpayers about you know one point four million dollars each and you know which means that the cost of jazz mirror's debut on the dance floor was about twenty six point six million tax dollars for the nineteen of them that were fired into syria you also got look the tomahawk missile all that already all the regular i don't know what a tomahawk missile tomahawk missile been dancing on that stage for a long time now we've got the guy and if we've been watching us and we're going to get the going into those two. they cost about one point four million each and that's where you know that plays into the big ninety two ninety one million dollar cost but here's a kicker to have your talk about. countries with with a lot of. militarism tomahawks have been deployed more than twenty three hundred

times since joining the navy's arsenal in just one thousand nine hundred. twenty three hundred times who kept us alive when you sit there and go out and the time that i've been around we have dropped. how much and this is the thing about things you talk a lot about these missiles about a million you can assume that any missile any any of these that whether it's. joe's mayor or whatever beautiful name they give it to at next unicorn i'm thinking would be the next one maybe put some glitter and a rainbow on the side of the great awake or fun and it was that sparkle. or whatever balm i don't know. yet the thing is there's also the cost of everything else we just talk about oh it's a million dollars a million dollars is a lot more that goes into that so when you think about it you've got the total in the in total the u.s. airstrikes in syria involves aerial refueling ok earlier air these aerial refueling tankers that we talked about that. don't go to work for democracy over there it's

a zero and then you have u.s. fighter jets that were tasked with ask ordering the bombers to their targets and then the bombers themselves were a tour of the b. one b. lancers so alternately according to see and we see what they said while the costs and type of additional aircraft involved are unknown the total number of palm hearts and jazz mare's cost one hundred nineteen million dollars yet so really we spent when you really are all open to actual hard costs you know trying to businessman you show me i want to see you know every european al show me what happened during the strike it's really bad especially when you're telling working class americans all through the rust belt that it's gonna get better that they're gonna fix stuff but you could spend a hundred million dollars like how many schools roads hospitals you know these are the questions of the seven it's easy to kind of look at these numbers and it just stand back if you all kind of crack a joke just to make yourself feel

a little better but at the end of the day we're talking about ninety two million dollars hundred nineteen million dollars bringing death to people what a waste truly a waste of money but you know what else is waste of money two point five billion raytheon stocks made this last week two point five billion. the n.r.a. is systematically keeping the. hard working poor in this country down but it's not the evil right hand of corporate gun manufacturers and our trade it's the evil right hand of corporate restaurant owners and our rage that's right the national restaurant association the other n.r.a. has spent over three point two million dollars just in twenty seventeen and even more the previous years on lobbying congress and what pray tell are they lobbying for well one of their favorite pet projects is making sure the minimum wage for tipped and untypical workers stays low very low they even tried polling the public about such things as whether they supported raising the minimum wage to ten dollars

an hour the exact thing they have spent tens of millions of dollars making sure doesn't happen in a presentation document obtained by the intercept g.o.p. pollster frank luntz is firm once global reported that not only did seventy one percent of those polled support an increase in the federal minimum wage but seventy one percent of them also wanted the increase despite it increase to call in cost to them as customers looks like this that are a shot themselves in the foot. and it may when you first told me that they were sort of of the national rifle association with. national restaurant association if you hear of this even if you want to keep wages down yet profits up because it's the end of the world if you know it's all going to fall apart as they keep saying let me begin with the money here of the national restaurant association some real senior vice president of the. at our race still sons would say that's

sort of there is research and knowledge group is a that the restaurant industry now in the united states is larger than ninety percent of the work. that's a lot of restaurants a lot of food consumption but you dollars to donuts a lot of that is chain corporate restaurants although if you're going to say that it's oh no it's small businesses but they they play trickery with well there's lot a. at a private restaurants we all watched over to china get a pretty good idea what a kid franchises are at large. but look at restaurant here some numbers restaurant sales reach seven hundred ninety nine billion dollars in two thousand and seventeen which by the way more they've got a. lot more of it on the other hand are write books food is important and i think when you have a population that says overtaxed overworked and run to the ground as the us population you don't got time to cook at home right. i'm sure that a big deal with this rise in there too does four point three by the way that's

seven ninety nine billion that's four point three percent higher than twenty sixteen they've now posted six years of consecutive growth and they're complaining and worried about minimum wage being raised up they've got to fight that they've got this crazy socialist horrible idea of eighteen people a livable wage it's really incredible and when you go in the like. when you know a low corporate mentality in corporate corporate persona does it's like they are detached from the normal world of how things work because when you go into the presentation deck it shows the national. plan of how to pivot the argument away from raising the minimum wage because you know we don't want our workers to actually you know make money that they deserve you know we want to make sure that they stayed out all over the map to survive until some work for different jobs in one industry. so their pivot away was is that they see these talking points come up

i'm sure when minimum wage comes back into the cycle again because this is them plug money and be a lobbyist right is don't tax tips ok you know expand career and job training exemptions for small business owners and increase spending funding for insurance. what does that mean to you to have at the end of the day what does that smell like to you oh yeah it's putting the cost to build businesses. don't make enough money so hey you know what we should do we should get the government to pay for their insurance we should get the government to pay for food stamps to go oh that's wal-mart there he tried that literally disgusting you know the one script you're saying they got they have this whole idea they also gave talking points in the presentation back about how even though the numbers and people don't care about those they have this i will look at that this way it was really interesting because . they said who analyze around the poll they actually said in their talking point that businesses will close let's be clear about who makes up the majority of the restaurant industry it's small businesses and locally owned franchises so they

operate with razor thin margins already the sad reality that with a higher minimum wage many with simpler no longer be viable like this is they don't lay off employees or shut down their doors entirely let me tell you this ok first of all razor thin margins that's what most americans are living on that would be work and that you're talking about working there and this minimum wage thing right so you've got two thirds of minimum wage workers are women it's interesting most of them are mothers these are mothers these are daughters these are people that most likely are how are caregivers for children or the elderly or members of their family and they're working on next to nothing razor thin margins if they really cared if they're worried about razor thin margins then they'd pay people. freakin level wage it's not a difficult when you make it out of billion dollars a year as an industry it's not that difficult let's be honest at the end of the day too i wonder how many executives are getting those large monstrous amounts of

salaries that don't you know those were just people were making double the other room so you know i just can't cry for you argentina grill i don't know if it really deserves to grow it's clear it's everywhere as we go to break card watchers don't forget to let us know what you think about topics we've covered on facebook and twitter see our shows of r t v dot com coming up little legal analyst lion-el and says the hawks in. to discuss how the long standing expectation of attorney client privilege attorney client privilege is now skating on thin ice so i got your script trucks and you're ready for the second. so what we've got to do is identify the threats that we have it's crazy to confront

a shouldn't let it be an arms race off and spearing dramatic development the only really i'm going to resist i don't see how that strategy will be successful very critical time time to sit down and talk. to the fed prints the money and then the pentagon blows it up in various countries around the world are sends us soldiers out there to get maimed and blown up that you don't die for your country to protect democracy you die in america to stop inflation that's what the soldiers out there are dying for they should replace the american flag upside down dollar sign or something. you never know what's around the corner never know what's in the. excitement it's that move now and that's where the adrenaline in much comes from.

it isn't going to an extreme. the violence is a part. of schizophrenia. where you can do these things and behave badly. well. they're born with all of this but a little while for the both of us was more social than the last one. but it's made in and through and through my most of all good done follows from this god so i would grow older we're in the bible young i really did a poll don't know what a people get. the meaning of using is that least if you don't know the evolves it's constantly evolving and.

it's a common refrain you hear from old curmudgeons and finicky traditionalists of all stripes nothing is sacred anymore the rudeness of talking politics of the dinner table moral savages pay women the same salaries as men loud conference calls in the brutal assault on restaurant dress codes but now we can add to that long and somewhat tedious list the long standing expectation of attorney client privilege contrary to popular belief aside from its role as a major plot device on the sopranos on the wire the attorney client privilege serves the vital purpose of not only allowing mobsters to plant conspiracies in their lawyers offices but also allowing all kinds of defendants be they innocent or not so much to speak openly and freely but their attorneys in order to mount the best possible legal defense and now after a somewhat shocking headline breaking f.b.i. raid on the office home and hotel room of donald trump's attorney michael cohen it

appears that the department of justice has no intention of letting the president get off as easily as tony soprano to discuss the wider implications of this raid and the ongoing court battle we're joined today by legal and media analyst lionel of lionel media thank you for joining us but no. one of the best. the magic threading from popular culture american jurisprudence to her. let me just i mean we've we've seen the constitution shredded since nine eleven probably even before that but let's put the biggest question the first is a tough attorney client privilege value but something vitally important to our legal system is that mel officially dead in our constitutional republic now they have to be the killjoy here not even close thank goodness thank you goodness my this is one of the funniest cases i got to ask you question first of all if

somebody came here from another planet some of the new ssion and said why are you talking about michael cole and what is why is he so important most people i would suggest would say. i haven't a fog you know i don't know why we're talking about it because stormy daniels i don't know what what did he do. i don't even know why are we what's the big deal and michael cohen they rated him ok and that's bad i mean so so here's what happened and i'm going to where various has because i'm a trained lawyer i can take any side you want the f.b.i. wrong is investigating him for potential wire fraud now get this as they say on fox news get there. this is a guy who has more money than you can imagine they went through with holmes that is the dollars that he owed to meet that guy that he won the most incredible legal

minds a real estate mind it's a forger. he got one hundred thirty one of a thousand dollar equity line in his home to pay for stormy daniels supposedly to keep her quiet for wedeman what ok so that may be allegedly that might be wire fraud because it didn't tell the the mortgage people what this was for as of a one or two isn't f.e.c. a violation is it than in kind contribution is it wire fraud when you took the gotten gains of this home equity loan imagine those forget reverse mortgages hi i'm tired of going to forget what do you have a a a an erotic new dancer you want to pay off how by the there's there's gold in them there are walls tire of interest home equity loans for silencing what i mean you can't but you can put a lot of this so. so so that close up ok now so then if if he

transferred that you have wire fraud f.e.c. violation ok fine ok terrific here's the problem it gets even better when they had the hearing the other day i don't remember your lawyer this is this is cohen's lawyer normally i don't know call me crazy represent his best interest so when they have this hearing before a judge kimba wood and they've made a big deal about you know she married george soros i thought she married george you know she oshie officiated ok fight because this week everybody was saying she marry george soros which of course so during that during that you got to hear during the course of this thing the government says well judge as you know mr cohen only has one client that would have been good but his lawyer says hold on no. he's got more judge would really who are they vow i can't tell you what you mean you can tell me i'm

a federal judge lifestyle don't you know you're going to tell me no. judge they would be embarrassed so all of a sudden believe it or not you find out about this other person and then somebody from the back who represents new york times says tell us who there's another person is as they say it sean hannity ok. did you feel the shock waves yesterday but you know what's the big deal is sean hannity showing his and he says he's not my lawyer i gave him ten dollars pursuing this myth that somehow you got to give a lawyer money for the attorney client privilege to apply and i don't. know what i'm saying is this really isn't about the attorney client privilege you know but the million dollars is there's one point we're not talking about that president because he gets to go through these things excuse me these are my communications you may have i hold the privilege now i hope i've thoroughly confused you while entertaining you the whole time life is confusing but i'm only reluctance is that

you know. listen to this it actually feels like there should be a show called the real business guys of new york after real housewives because that this won't like a real housewives wrap up episode so i mean i just it's the most ridiculous thing is it's this idea of like you say that i think people watch a lot of television and movies and think certain things are real like oh i gave you a dollar so here's my lawyer and that's how it works like what you think sort of persist and yet one of the things about this whole michael cohen rape. is you know is that it's under where did the where did the targeting come from ok so was you know on the surface the warrants that were issue were for investigation into this very very rich man michael cohen our you know the lawyer michael cohen's taxicab medallion business right right so we have these taxi cab medallions he wasn't paying taxes one fees on them but at the same time we know that the matter was

referred to the southern district of new york about these taxi cab medallions by robert muller who's part of the rusticated investigation to make it even more ridiculous right so he also passed it on you said you know listen you guys in. other district you handle this is in your jurisdiction and they're saying oh thanks a lot because they're not this wasn't a taxicab down there newsworthy and by the by people are saying do you know they came at six o'clock in the morning is it yes in fact the real new york honest to god legit wise guy i mean the professionals always have their wives making coffee come on and. they make it better just don't don't know it's true and i didn't know who frank. you're a customer years ago used to said his wife had to give coffee and donuts to f.b.i. agents who are on surveillance so this is you know the average american now is all

of us and saying boy they're pretty rude and by the way they have safe crackers where them they will save crackers they've got locksmith anything you need they've got somebody there but the bottom line is the first question is no the attorney client privilege is still here but here is when it applies that they we all should teach if we can if i talk to you you're my lawyer for the purposes of the they're asking you legal advice or you were rendering legal advice in a confidential setting where there's a reasonable expectation of privacy not in a cocktail party but just i go to you those conversations regarding that advice either ask for or given that is a privilege along with the husband and wife privilege clergyman penitent privilege psycho therapist patient privilege there are a number of them these unique these unique relationships that the law and the legislature requires and recognizes that being so special that we cannot compel or

to have those privileges and those confidential conversations are ruined or breached by compel testimony you know what's interesting to me lionel is the reaction like you were saying you know they came in at six o'clock in the they had saved. i thought you know really explaining what the you know privilege and attorney client privileges excellent job but one of the things i think is interesting to me about this whole case is seeing privileged people reacting to how like the poor and you know the street corner drug dealer or whoever is treated every day right you know you know it's like oh so sorry rich white guy you're going to knock down your door well guess what this happens across america every day you just don't see it because you're in a privileged position and usually doesn't happen to you guys rakesh and you and you never. stormy daniels run up to some to some to bed i don't know meth dealer whatever too but over that their means i know what that means but you don't talk

about somebody who some three time a loser this is they they act like oh my god i'm so should win but i ask yourself this question why is this so interesting it's really not that easy to break the news or body and sean hannity with all due respect sean hannity said he's now my lawyer guess what that's there there goes the cases now moat so i don't know what you're going to dig through this but here's the best very quickly they have this thing called the taint committee please no jokes it's a family show but there's little that is called the eight committee where you have somebody from the department of justice who goes through this and says i am not a part of this but i'm not going to tell my colleagues in the same building in the same department in the same agency on the same floor what i've got i'm going to go look through this and say. so this is so what they're going to do is they're going to select a magistrate magistrate judge these people who are going to maybe make this

determination but we still will see how this all shakes out at the end of the day because if it's just absolutely ludicrous but always always a pleasure having you on to really break this down and help us understand this insanity always a pleasure lionel of lionel radio thank you so much. it's tax free care the good ole us of a and besides paying taxes to a government that doesn't really represent you and use your hard earned money to kill brown people for a politics and profit we all go out of the joy of being told that the ira was broke well still to bay that's right on genset are on i seventy the last day to electronically file your taxes online taxpayers got this message stating that the system was down for a planned outage that was to last for him april seventeenth two thousand and eighteen to december thirty first one thousand nine hundred ninety nine now i don't mind waiting till i'm about eight thousand years old paid my taxes but no luck americans had to do with the old fashioned way so there are literally

a lot of tracks that are in the mail and if it wasn't ludicrous enough already jeffrey tribbiani the i.r.s. deputy commissioner for operation support told the house ways and means oversight committee recently that we are concerned about the potential for a catastrophic system failure is increasing as our infrastructure continues to age . taxes and government computer outages we just can't escape them and we. need everybody to remember in this world we are told or loved up so i told all those of you i am i roll over to the type of the wildest people watching those awesome ever great day and night everybody. forman are sitting in a car. when the fifth get shot in the head. all

four have different versions of what. one of them is on the death row there's no way he could have done it there's no possible way because the list did not shoot around a corner. in the philippine city of angeles when the us military moved out the six tourists moved in. and now a whole generation of fatherless children is growing up. a dad and within one month a couple simple than. i've been a day in sudan like i dassent i knew no young. son. that isn't the first time

in the t.v. crew to see you or takes you for a no don't answer is thrown that no one that it's true or. that's it the better you want my god found it. a bit. you can take the deal of above that you can't take a little girl discuss a woman you know. oh i love the feeling that i did it you could get it if you. i. think. that very.
