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. but you get the. real deal with. the bottom. like you but i got. to. leave that. well to the watchers are so 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 mortgages 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 feel adequate climate 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 you 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 mayor who's in the middle of all this you know trump 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 sorry it's all of the leg and it's very very well the dog yes very well the dog very and the money allowed when you really look at it and just. midst of the land going how

much money you and everybody what i mean look this was a big week for lockheed martin and raytheon raytheon especially get a big big friday night saturday morning like i said they know how to party i mean lucky martin's joint air to surface standoff missile holds extended range talk about a name or jazz me here 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. kathy as. well according to jail jazz mere cost taxpayers u.s. taxpayers about you know one point four million dollars each and you know which means that the cost of jazz mirrors 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 told it 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 were you know that plays into the big ninety two or ninety one million dollar cost but here's a kicker to have your talk about. countries with a lot of. militarism tomahawks have been deployed more than twenty three hundred times since joining the maybe's arsenal of just like two hundred eighty. twenty three hundred who doesn't like when you sit there and go wow oh and the time that i've been around we have dropped our home and this is the thing about these we talk a lot about these missiles about a million you can assume that any missile any any of these that whether it's a tomahawk or joe's mir or whatever beautiful name they give it to it next unicorn i'm thinking would be the next one maybe put some glitter and

a rainbow on the side of the great a lake or fun and it was the. glitter 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 the 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 early air these aerial refueling tankers that we talked about there have been. doing good 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 to where the b. one b. lancers so alternately according to see and b. c. what they said while the costs and type of additional aircraft involved are unknown the total number of comets and jazz mare's cost one hundred nineteen million dollars yet so really respond when you really add it all up into actual hard costs you know trying to businessman you show me i want to see 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 one hundred million dollars like how would you schools roads hospitals you know these are the questions of the seven. it's easy to kind of look at these numbers and just stand back you all kind of crack a joke just to make it so 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 it's 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 raid 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 pulling 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 of 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 an increase to call in cost to them as customers look like this and are a shot themselves in the foot. or i don't even know that i mean when you first told

me that they talk about the they were part of the national rifle association with. national restaurant association if you hear of this even if you are doing it 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 we keep saying let me begin with the money here of the national restaurant. oh see asian hudson real senior vice president of the. at our race still sons were saying that said there is research and knowledge group to say that the restaurant industry now in the united states is larger than ninety percent of the world economies 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 right to say that that it's oh no it's all businesses but they they they play trickery with that i mean there's a lot of private restaurants we all watched over to china i get a pretty good idea what a kid franchises are a large fry and started to look at restaurants 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 new three a lot more of the year around our i cooked food is important and i think when you have a population that says overtaxed overworked and run to the ground as the u.s. 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 because it's like they were detached from the normal world of how things work because when you go into the

presentation day 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 stay download an app to survive until some work for different jobs and one into. street what's wrong so there pivot away was is that the you'll 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 you know expand career and job training exemptions for small business owners and increase federal funding for insurance oh what does that mean to you to have at the end of the day what does that smell like to you oh yeah the cost to build a business service workers 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 had this whole idea they also gave talking points in the presentation 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 i am was 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 is 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 good subsisting 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 is a. 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 even know what the people were making down at the other ram so hack now you know i just can't cry for you argentina it will i don't know if it really deserved it grows worse anyway as we go to break our watchers don't forget to let us know what you think about topics we've covered on facebook and twitter see our full shows of r t v dot com coming up video a little legal analyst lion-el and there's the hawk's nest to discuss how the long standing expectation of attorney client privilege attorney call client privilege is now skating on thin ice so i break out your swim trunks and get ready for the

second half of one. in july twenty second team on and also to the freedoms journalist working with a. militant shelling in syria. shown to his sacrifice has established a memorial they will recognize will reporters who often risk their lives to the sake of the truth and through the least you can submit to your published works in the video or a written form go to a war don't comb into know. the bad press 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 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 patients replaced american flag upside down dollar sign or something. you know. one by side the merge two there was a real person and then. like the simpson those are the folks there at the body and so the brothers. in this room wanted to preserve the salute go bust buy stuff like the. deal being three zero zero zero does with us along with our full. blown want to stop the drug induced shot is much to mislead or you don't i mean you

sound the source e-mailed to belichick on faultless she will tell you. the next measure that a modern trick on the chairs needs to be answered. 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 paid women the same salaries as men loud conference calls and the men a 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 with their attorneys in order to mount the best possible legal defense and now after a somewhat shocking headline breaking f.b.i. raid on on the. office home and hotel room 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 trying to day by legal and media analyst lionel of land all media thank you for joining us but i know. one of the best the magic threading from popular culture american jurisprudence. perv. 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 the 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. rory is investigating him for potential wire fraud now get this as they say on fox news get their. this is a guy who has more money than you can imagine they went to was also holmes millions of dollars that he owed that. he won the most incredible legal minds a real estate minded it's a fortune. 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 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 that's over one or two is it an 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 imagine those forget reverse mortgages hi i'm cairo ventura forget what do you have

a a a an erotic new dancer you want to pay off how about it 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't put words in this so. so so that blows 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 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 this 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 whoa 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 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 a blind eye and. so what i'm saying is this really is 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 it retaining you the whole time life is confusing what i actually wrote this is a 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 what like a real housewives wrap up episode 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 issued were for investigation into this very very rich man michael cohen our you know lawyer michael cohen's taxicab medallion business right right so we have these taxi cab medallions he wasn't paying taxes one paying three young 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 is part of the russia cape 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 and down you're going on the ones where you are and by the by people are saying you know they came at six o'clock in the morning is it yass in fact the real

new york honest to god legit wiseguys i mean the professionals always have their wives making coffee come out and you know. they make a better if you don't don't know what strong i don'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 a sudden saying boy they're pretty rude and by the way they have safe crackers where them they will save crackers they've got a locksmith anything you need they've got somebody there but the bottom line is the first question is no the the attorney client privilege is still here but here is when it applies and i think we all should teach if we can if i talk to you you're my lawyer for the purposes of either 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 it's interesting to me a lot of those is the reaction like you were saying you know it came in at six o'clock in the safe. i thought you know really explaining what that you know privilege and attorney client privilege is an excellent job but one of the things i think that's 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 came around knocking 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 right here and you and you never see 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 die but somebody who's some three time loser that this is they they act like oh my god i'm so sure when but i ask yourself this question why is this so interesting it's really not that i hate 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 very quickly they have this thing called the taint committee please no jokes it's a family show but there's the whole 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 what will this is still we'll see how this all shakes out at the end of the day because it it's just absolutely ludicrous but i always always a pleasure having you on to really break this down and help us understand this i'm sad to be always a pleasure lionel of line on 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 uses 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 iris was broke well still had to pay that's right on jim's of our and seventeenth 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 from 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 a ludicrous enough already jeffrey to be on know 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 not subtle and 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. the philippine city of angeles when the u.s. 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 an eagle. eye big day in sudan like you like us and i know you go. back home son and. sorry it isn't the first time in the t.v. crew fuse you or takes you were no don't answer is

a little bit no one that it's true or. that's it but i do what my god found it. a victory you can take the deliver of a just can't take a little girl such a woman you know oh. oh i love you like i did it you did it if you. came. we all willingly accepted the risk of being shot wounded taken prisoner but noone signed up to be friggin poisoned by our own people saying stuff that was nuclear

biological and chemical products the said do not the truck tires all types of styrofoam polystyrene batteries trucks there was a complete denial i think at all levels of government that there was any connection between berm pits and what these brave soldiers were suffering from to compensate every soldier marine airman and sailor that was on the ground that are complaining about illnesses from their exposure from the burn pits would really literally send a v.a. broke and they don't want to pay it so the waiting in decades a lot of those soldiers will die in time and they will have to pay and. called ralph and get the middle finger the new vs to my old is. delayed and i hope you guys.

are. just days off the slamming syria is what helmets us propagandists wrote blends into roger waters revealed the activist group had been trying to lobby his supports in syrian war. somebody who is solid in that you have to go to the hospital to land there when i came in some people grabbed me started pouring water on my hands and a russian t.v. channel says it's interviewed a syrian boy seen in the white helmets footage for reportedly showing off them off of a chemical attack a child and his father give their account of how events unfolded in duma day. that will save us our police the tear gas protesters in paris as as hard.
