so avery, you first. does this end up being a contract with mcdougal to silence her? story to anybody else, and just us. is this a protection against any potential blackmail? how do you see this arrangement? >> well, actually, i thought that it was going to be a very exciting freedom of the press case where mr. pecker, and that is his name, and he is the publisher of the "national enquirer" and he bought the story from karen mcdougal for $150,000 according to the "new yorker" and the idea is and the glorious work of journalists here you go. you pay for the story and a great publication, and except that this is what is called the "catch and kill" meaning that what the publisher did was to take the story and gave the money and never published anything, because mr. peck ser a friend of mr. trump and the question is can you do something like that and one of the constitutional rights, fredricka is the right to contract. and in other words, did karen mcdougal give up her right to tell this extraordinary story about donald trump for $150,000 and can mr. pecker now bring a su

all right, so avery, you first.oing to be almost like a fisa 101 but a real truncated version because it is really complicated. we've got the gop memo that's been released. it's very critical of the process. first off, avery, tell us what the fisa court is generally used for, what exactly is required in order to get a surveillance request approved. >> well, usually, if you're -- 99.999% of americans have never seen a fisa application. >> right. >> orlanyou have an investigati substantial evidence in which the justice department merely has to establish pribl cause. that is a very low standard. ultimately a judge, a panel of foreign intelligence surveillance judges, and it's a secret court, needs that evidence. and while they don't automatically grant necessarily a warrant, ordinarily they do. but it is substantial evidence, which a fisa judge requires. i guess that's the point here, with a 3 1/2-page memorandum, there is no possible way that you can really understand what the court did in this case. >> so, richard, i

it will be wise for him to lawyer up. >> so avery, the fbi had this information.photographs as richard, you know, is reminding us. a girlfriend reportedly came forward and also said she was a victim of abuse. so when the president tweeted out today that these are mere allegations and that people's lives are being ruined and they should be given due process, what's your response to him from a legal perspective as to whether these allegations are credible, you know, and if they should be given, you know, this sort of attention, the photographs, and if those who are accused here, the case of rob porter and david sorensen, are they not being given due process? >> well, due process is a function and a basic when it comes to a court of law. we're dealing with the court of public opinion. the idea of this president who has a record that is challenging concerning the rights of women. frankly finds himself in a position where he ultimately, at least according to "the times," refers to porter as bad garbage. i don't think he needed the adjective. the bottom line, which is i

and avery's comment about guns is just not accurate.wnership is up dramatically in the united states. gun violence and violent crime is down. that's a statistical fact that's undisputable. saying otherwise is not accurate. arthel: i'll leave it there. thank you both of you for coming on to present your perspective on this very important issue. thank you very much. eric: there's another controversial issue brewing, and that is immigration. while the debate on capitol hill is stalled, hear what the president said, if you pull immigration from the california. what does it mean if he does that? we'll have the impact next. this. is. lobsterfest. at red lobster with exciting new dishes like dueling lobster tails and lobster truffle mac & cheese. classics like lobster lover's dream are here too. so enjoy these 10 lobsterlicious dishes while you can because lobsterfest won't last. eric: president trump threatens to pull immigration officials out of the california. and that prompted california senator diane fine stein to tweet this quote, the pr

joining me right now, avery freeman, a civil rights attorney and law professor and richard herman, a new york criminal defense attorney and law professor. good to see you both. >> hi, fred. >> hi, fredricka. >> okay so president trump has said, you know, he supports the ban on bump stocks but the bureau of alcohol, tobacco and firearms and explosives is not so sure that a ban on accessories is possible. richard, what kind of legal issues could gun manufacturers actually raise with such a ban? >> well, fred, you would think the president would surround himself with the most intelligent legal minds and politicians in the country before he gets up and panders and makes an ignorant statement that we're going to get rid of bump stocks. and then assigned jeff sessions to do that. sessions has no authority to do that. sessions can't do that. because like you said atf is defined a bump stock as an accessory. it's not a firearm. therefore you can't ban it. and simply for the viewers, fred, an automatic weapon is a weapon that -- machine guns are banned. you depress the trigger and rapid fire

but the head of the air force, general david avery had his doubts. he thought sharron was taking it too personal to kill arafat. and why would arafat travel on that plane, why from athens to chiro? he demanded more and more cooperation from military intelligence in mussad. they intercepted the cargo plane, and ara shon pressured to give the order, engage, take this airplane down. only the very last minute was it found that arafat was aboard that plane, but not yasser. his brother, the head of the palestinian red crescent, with 30 palestinian injured children that were hurt in the massacre. >> wow. >> only through the bravery and firmness of that courageous officer, the children were saved, but also israel was saved from a stain in war crimes. >> it is chilling to hear that story on so many levels. i want to ask you, your book title, "rise and kill first" comes from a tallamudic verse. >> i have met with 1,000 interviews for the sake of writing this book. for the first time they're talking on the record, and some of them kept a lot of documents in the
