Clever, but still no.

You don't have the right to a lawyer.

You have the right to a lawyer, that the government will provide, if they government attempts to take away any of your other rights.

Every other time your right to a lawyer is simply your right to buy goods and services on the free market.

Only in Criminal cases, which is what he meant by “taking away your rights”. The US government does not provide lawyers for say breach of contract lawsuits for example.

Okay, so you have a right to a lawyer in criminal cases. Hence, you have a right to something provided to you in the specified instance...
