north korea. south korea is knocking down reports that kim jong un is in grave health, saying there's been no abnormal activity in north korea. >> sean: thanks for that update as always. we'll always be fair and balanced, your shows have been great and i know you have a lot of breaking news tonight. >> laura: the news coming in on these immunity tests in the studies that have been done on the antibodies have given us new data and new perspective and we are all over it, fantastic show as always. i'm laura ingraham, this is the ingraham angle. were going to speak to one of the few academic voices who had the courage to call out what he thought could very well be errors of using models that were touted by government officials and helped form a response, he's going to tell us now what future predictions and what is going on in california.

governor newsom wants to give illegal immigrants tens of millions of dollars to help with coronavirus recovery, but can his residence now sue him for that? one of the golden state's sheriffs say he's been forced to free a repeat -- get this -- child abuse or because of the virus, he is here tonight to tell us. why do deep-pocketed companies and institutions end up getting more stimulus money before the struggling small business that it was focused on? dallas mavericks owner and entrepreneur mark cuban is here on that. first, my thoughts at the end of day 36, america in shut down. when we started to turn the corner on this virus, we knew we would see a constant effort to blunt any good news. media figures, politicians, even some government officials seem far too comfortable in shutdown mode, if you can believe it. nancy pelosi lives in a multimillion dollar mansion in

the pacific heights neighborhood of san francisco, it's very nice. she spends weekends at her vineyard in napa valley, do you think she minds doing her press interviews from her gourmet kitchen? >> what have you found, what are you going to share with us? >> chocolate. candy. >> wow. >> laura: while choosing between the lemon peach gelato and coconut sorbet, she let small businesses desperate for relief dangle. she used their pain to extract confessions that were totally unrelated to helping small businesses in that ppp extension build the present plans on signing. she's not alone, many have played the moment for maximum political leverage and shameless self-promotion. there is no minimizing the horrible human tragedy of this virus, it's a lot of people and

a lot of suffering. there is good news out there. the infection rate is declining in most places around the world, including in new york. although more than 44,000 americans have lost their lives to covid-19, we have 330 million more americans who still need to protect and reclaim theirs. doing this requires a frank assessment of how we got here. we were told we had to shut everything down in order to save the health care system. today, the only thing threatening the health care system the shutdown itself. we were told we had to lock down because we didn't have enough ventilators. now we have more than enough ventilators. now some governors say they can't reopen because they don't have enough tests. how many? some experts say we need to do 20 million tests a day.

that's realistic. we are doing roughly 120,000 tests per day right now, more than any country on earth. even if governors secure the tests, they're going to claim they can't reopen until they have an army of tracers and the trackers, how many do they need? one estimate says they need 300,000. how long will that take the set up -- i can't think of it, how long would it take to train all of those people? our state governors prepared to pay for it all? why should montana have to pay the bill for dill the bloviate or his mistakes? even if we have enough tests and workers due to contact tracing, will mcabee told we have to stay locked down until there's a vaccine. dr. felt she had take to concede may never have a vaccine, sars burned out before we tested the one from mice to humans.

we don't have a vaccine for hiv but wonderful therapies were developed to save lots of lives. they never liked the old normal. trump was elected during the old normal days. brett kavanaugh was confirmed to the supreme court during the old normal and the russia hoax collapsed during the normal da days. now those have been frustrated america hasn't evolved fast enough to aggressive ends are using this crisis to change society. as andrew cuomo said, to remake it and reimagine it. right now, frank assessment? they are winning. millions are out of work and dependent on a government resc rescue. dr. fauci is focusing only on the virus, not on the broader american life that must go on before the nation itself flat lines.

what does the president need to do now? number one, push back against any efforts to move the goalposts. we've saved the health care system in new york, no one is running short of ventilators, those were the reasons that we shut down and they no longer apply. number 2, control the narrative on testing and tracking, keep explaining to the press and the governors and members of congress at the u.s. government has made testing and tracking progress and they are going to continue to. emphasize two key points, our efforts have been world-class and current testing and tracking efforts are sufficient to allow significant portions of the country to reopen. plus, they got $25 billion today for testing and tracking in the new deal. number three, make deals with blue state governors and mayors, the president has demonstrated time and again, this is meant a great aspect of his leadership that he's willing to work with anyone and everyone to get

america back to work, keep it up. some might act in bad faith, we know that. others just want their people to get back to work and their kids back to school. number four, keep working with congress even when members seem unreasonable and mean-spirited, take the temperature down. we passed a series of these short-term measures that are designed to get the money in people's pockets and get through this crisis. now we are going to need legislation that will help restart and rebuild the country. >> the president said we would look forward to face four with the infrastructure the president has been talking about infrastructure since the campaign, roads, bridges, broadband, we've talked about incentives for restaurants, sports, entertainment because these businesses have been impacted, the president has talked multiple time about a payroll tax cuts.

>> laura: 5, america first now more than ever. the president was 100% correct to use his executive authority to freeze immigration during the crisis. >> it would be wrong and unjust for americans to be laid off by the virus and replaced with new immigrants, labor flowing from abroad. we want to protect our u.s. workers as we move forward, we will become more and more protective of them. a short break from new immigration depending on the time we are talking about will protect the solvency of our health care system and provide relief to jobless americans. >> laura: it would have even been more america first and effective if he had extended this pause to the thousands and thousands of temporary workers that come in every year. this is an important and will be a very popular start, are americans going to agree with trump?

nearly eight in ten support a pause -- the usual suspects were enraged by this move, they wanted unlimited immigration, even during a pandemic. >> that's not where the problem is coming from and it avoids him having to deal with the fact that we want for almost two months or more without action. >> it will only be understood as a political matter, not a public health matter, redirecting some blame to foreigners who presumably have something to do with it. >> the president is trying to fan the flames of xenophobia, americans brought coronavirus here. it was already here. >> laura: that's laughable, they accused trump of xenophobia when he shutdown travel from china, they are still doing it. trump hasn't smoked them out here brilliantly, they are perfectly happy locking down the american people while throwing the doors open to thousands of people from every country on

earth. shame a millennial in the grocery store for not wearing a mask but welcome asymptomatic spreaders, it's on us, the american taxpayer. that's how radical these people are on the issue of immigration, they won't even let us go to church if we are sitting 6 feet apart but they want immigration flowing like there was never a crisis. until the lockdown folks are willing to support efforts to reopen the economy, there is no position to insist immigration should continue as normal, that's absurd. the president is showing us how america first goes from being a campaign theme to a way of life. those are my thoughts at the end update 36, america in shutdown. an eternity ago, i'm so excited about this next interview -- a stanford medical school professor and statistician published a piece called "a fiasco in the making?"

as the coronavirus pandemic takes hold we are making decisions without reliable data. he wrote the data collected so far and how many people are infected and no how it's -- are utterly unreliable. the vast majority of deaths are being missed. was he prescient and new antibody testing on the west and east coast shows the true infection rate may be 55 times higher than previously thought by these experts meaning the true fatality of the virus is somewhere below that of seasonal influenza. the author joins us now, it's great to have you on tonight. this new research shows the true infection rate is as much as 4%

of l.a. county, the population is already been infected with the virus, what does that mean for next steps? >> it means we have far more people who are infected with the virus and we thought previously. this is one study, there is multiple studies that corroborates this finding of course. these studies alone are subject to scrutiny and they need to be carefully peer reviewed by other scientists. the totality of the evidence of data we have in california, we are seeing also in italy and germany, other locations around the world with antibody studies as well as assessments of blood on her studies in the netherlands and denmark as well as screening and women who come to delivery in new york hospitals and shelters and in air carriers -- all of that evidence points to an infection that is very common, that typically is very mild, most

people have no symptoms, they don't recognize they have an infection. at the same time, there are people and there are settings where the infection can be devastating. we have a more complete picture of the full iceberg that is evolving and probably a better understanding with better science, because science is the best thing that can happen to humans. if we have good data, we can use science to really act and make decisions. >> laura: to your point, in my opinion, many in the media are using the wrong johns hopkins map which makes it look like while the u.s. is drowning in infections and that looks terrible when you look at it -- but here are some of the maps they should be using. when you break down cases by geography, you can see they are really concentrated in a few key areas. a similar story with deaths, it's the same thing, they are largely relegated to a few key

areas. we are seeing it -- a little small in the united states, but you can see it in new york, new jersey and a few other places, it goes back to your original article. when you don't have the data and you have to make these calls, we are worried about millions of people potentially dying on that college survey prediction, it was a rush to lock down because you couldn't risk millions of people dying. what lessons do we learn going forward? >> i think the initial decisions which were going for a shelter in place and the lockdown justified. the estimates we had at that time were based on limited information, the best scientists in the world made the best calculations possible, they are not to be blamed if they cannot get it right, they had data that were unreliable. they were perfectly correct and going to make these decisions that were very aggressive.

right now we have a more nuanced picture, we are dealing with a serious problem, the virus can be lethal but we know specifically how it can be lethal. we know it can be lethal when it attacks elderly individuals, people with underlying diseases, people who are disadvantaged and populations unfortunately we have neglected in this country and other countries, poor people without health insurance for example. they also attack hospitals that can get contaminated, many of our hospitals are not prepared to deal with crisis even in summer time, they can be war zones. these hospitals were badly hit, several places in new york for example. doctors and nurses can get contaminated then we need to try to avoid that because the infection usually has no symptoms, it's difficult to tell someone is infected and avoid being exposed to that person. we need to focus our efforts on trying to salvage hospitals that are under major threat, some

other locations and settings like nursing homes, chronic care facilities, we need to protect vulnerable individuals, those who are sick, many people get infected in the hospital rather than the community. at the same time, reassure the large majority of the population that the risk of dying or getting severe disease from covid-19 is very low. it does not know -- i don't want to say there's no problem at all but for the vast majority of the population, it is something we should have less fear and we should be open to dealing with and taking steps towards reopening our society. with science and with data and careful steps. >> laura: the cdc director has quite a dire prediction. "the washington post" reporting there's a possibility the assault of the virus on our nation next winter will actually be even more difficult than the one we just went through, that's robert redfield he said the

protest by americans who want to get out of this lockdown were not helpful. was it responsible to use that language or prediction about next winter, given how bungled the cdc handled the tests? >> i think the cdc needs to be cautious and i can sympathize with someone who wants to thinkk about the worst that can happen but at the same time i would argue we have the track very carefully how the epidemic is evolving. we have better tools and scientific tools to measure how frequent the infection is and how frequent the appearance of new infections. we also have our eyes on hospitals and beds we have available, how many ventilators we have and the icu beds. i would say predictions and

forecasts -- i would avoid making them, putting a lot of trust in them because we just don't know. i think we have to be honest, we don't know whether and how big a spike would be? >> laura: there's one thing i want to get to because our viewers have been asking about this knowing you are coming on today. there's a big controversy about masks and shaming people who don't wear masks, this is what dr. zeke manual who came up with obamacare, he said about this issue, watch. >> it's important to make that the new normal, i think we have to make wearing a mask kind of like wearing a seat belt. if you don't wear it, people feel like they are entitled to say to you you got to put that seat belt on, it's good for you, it's good for everyone. >> laura: thoughts on the mask issue? >> masks are a contentious issue, he's a good friend and a

great scientist, i'm sure he's trying to be very well-intentioned and trying to do the best possible. i have no problems with measures that would improve our self confidence that we are dealing with the virus in a way that's responsible. we don't know the exact effectiveness of masks but if there are steps that can make all of us a bit more confident that the risk is even lower and we can really move to the next step and open our economy and try to avoid people being unemployed and uninsured and not having a way to help themselves and getting sick from so many diseases, i'm willing to go with these extra steps and build confidence, we need to remain united, but i don't think it's a good recipe to blame each other and say here's an expert who was wrong, here's an expert who was right, it's not a partisan issue. it's about saving lives and saving our community, our people

and the country in the world at large. there's too much at stake, both from the virus and perhaps even more from measures that may be too harsh, too much and too prolonged. >> laura: professor, i wish i could read your entire cv because it is so impressive, you had an incredible career and you're so young and your greek, that's another reason why we like you. thank you, come back soon. >> thank you, have a good day. >> laura: coming up right now at this very moment, china is increasing at their spying activity in the united states -- that's great. can california residents sue governor newsom for illegally tunneling taxpayer dollars to illegals? we are going to explain how his coronavirus outreach might come back to bite him.

>> we feel a deep sense of gratitude for people who are in fear of deportation. i'm proud as governor to be the first state to announce a program for direct disaster assistance to those individuals. a total of $125 million to provide individual assistance to $500 in household assistance of up to 1,000. >> laura: when they say new normal, that's what they mean, taxpayer money for illegal immigrants, why not? a slap in the face to legal california residents including 1 million who are now out of work in california. my next guest says it violates the state constitution, joining me now is harmeet dhillon, he's done an incredible civil rights litigation over the past couple

of years, constitutional law expert. you're planning on filing this lawsuit against gavin newsom for doing this, on what basis? >> our state constitution bars cash handouts to anybody through nongovernment entities, that is one violation that's occurring. on top of that, the governor made clear in his comments that he's basically giving this out in lieu of the unemployment benefits that state law bars and federal law bars as well, aliens were not here legally cannot get those. there are no criteria, he has not gone through the normal process. we believe that's a basis for a constitutional challenge and will mcafee filing that shortly. >> laura: you have a restraining order involving a california church, explained that spirit >> we filed on behalf of three churches, one

parishioner town in southern california because the various counties were barring people from doing drive and religious services. we filed that lawsuit, the judge has set a hearing for tomorrow at 2:00 p.m. pacific time and will mcafee arguing that by telephone but meanwhile the state came forward and said the governor is now interpreting drive-in services as a form of technology, like streaming video. so it's okay. they revise their order and backtracked which is a victory for californians but it doesn't go far enough. we believe religion should not be treated as a second level and that it is entitled to all of the same protections as any commercial endeavor, over a million people are out there every day running businesses in california. religion is not secondary to commerce. >> laura: for many americans is not the essential business of their life, it's the primary foundation of their life. it goes beyond essential for

most people. liquor stores, bike stores are open, you can get pot in california, right. that's an essential service, laundry, walmart, home depot and i like that because i need that to survive but too many people of faith, being able to go to their church, mosque, synagogue, the temple is more important to them that many of the things that are being allowed. >> laura: i have to ask you about this, fox news is reporting missouri became the first state to file a lawsuit against china accusing the country of being responsible for the severity of the coronavirus pandemic and a seeking damages to make up for the enormous loss of life, human suffering, economic turmoil resulting from the disease. it feels good to say those words, is that the best course of action, where will it go? >> it's a feel-good gesture that

has no legal merit, i'm sorry to say and i understand the impulse, we are very angry with china and there's a number of things -- there's a separate law that was meant to attack state sponsored terrorism, that also does not apply in the circumstance. congress could pass a new law that would allow this but that may not be the best thing to do. right now our president is already restricting immigration, he could suspend student visas from china, every one of our top institutions are filled with people taking up spots that americans could be taken, he could do that immediately. he could aggressively crackdown on the espionage that's happening, we should be treating china like we treated russia during the cold war. >> laura: absolutely. >> we could up the tariffs and so many other things a president can do right now. >> laura: and the people are with him on this immigration freeze, we got to expand that too. thank you so much and thank you

for the work you're doing on behalf of civil liberties -- a lot of so-called civil libertarians have forgotten them during this crisis. speaking of china, they are ramping up their disinformation campaign to avoid blame for unleashing the coronavirus on the world appear to current and former intel officials now telling fox beijing is updating its spy game on u.s. soil with a focus on manipulating the narrative. one source says it's about saving face and leaking out false info even to our intelligence apparatus. joining me now as a man who knows this better than anyone else, author of the bully of asia -- this is really troubling. it's not surprising to people like you or myself would have been talking about the china threat for decades. now we see members of the media lavishing china with praise for their response to the virus. what about that?

>> it's astonishing to me, 20 years ago we had people from china carrying out espionage of various kinds, commercializing it and selling it back to us but now we have media companies in the united states, i think you always have to follow the money. you always have to understand who owns the company now because once great american media institutions are now owned in whole or in part by chinese billionaires. i'm not sure i want to name names, they were once upon a time good american institutions they have american names but they are carrying chinese propaganda, among the propaganda they are carrying is the idea that chinese coronavirus was actually not originated in china but it came from a lab in the united states. >> laura: the thing about this chinese student situation in the united states, researchers at preeminent institutions like

stanford and harvard and princeton and mit -- these are the crown jewels of research institutions in the world, not to take anything away from international and foreign institutions but mit, stanford, harvard, this is it among the best of the best in the world. what about that? we had an open door policy for chinese scholars, even with what we saw in harvard, with the professor working hand in glove with the chinese -- this has to end, yesterday, correct? >> we give hundreds of millions of dollars in research grants to major research institutions in the united states and repressor charles lieber got $50 million to develop products he took to china under the thousand talents program and was working with the university of technology in that famous place now called wuhan

and was paid generously over the years for selling for pennies on the dollar, technology that american taxpayers had paid tens of millions of dollars to develop. we've got to stop that and i think chinese students in the scholars i know before they leave china are all told if you come across any commercially valuable information in the united states, you should seize it for the motherland and you should bring it back to china or you should work in place and continue taking the technology and transferring it to china. >> laura: we haven't even gotten into the new chinese technology that has been developed during this crisis, that's being used against innocents around the world, people who have done nothing wrong and it's spying in tracking people's every movement. we'll talk about that next time, thanks so much for joining us tonight. here's a question, why do well-heeled companies and institutions get stimulus money

that was meant for struggling small business? mark cuban is here next with answers and remedies.

>> certain people may not have been clear in understanding the certification, if you pay back the loan right away you won't have liability, but there are severe consequences for people who don't attest properly to the certification -- and we want to make sure this money is

available to small businesses that needed, people who have invested their entire life savings. >> laura: treasury secretary steve mnuchin responding to criticism that wealthy corporations and institutions siphoned off billions in funds meant for small businesses, here is a snapshot of the corporate graft. millions went to operators of big national chain restaurants like pot belly, ruth's chris steak house, even though they have considerable cash on hand. forbes found there were 71 publicly traded companies that received a total of $300 million of emergency loans. a small businesses across the country are running out of options. >> you feel like you're isolated on an island all alone, nowhere to go, that's what it feels like. >> punch in the gut and then when you hear some people got $20 million, that's a punch in the gut number two. in time we'll find out the big banks pick the winners and the

losers. >> laura: joined me now is mark cuban, dallas mavericks owner and the start of the hit show shark tank, he's a member of president trump's committee to reopen the economy. what do you think of that, that gets people so upset. some businesses have given back the money, like shake shack i guess but how does this kind of thing ends up happening? >> who knows how it happened? but it's a real problem, i'll tell you why. 500 or fewer employees, they don't have options to go out get money. they can do secondaries, they can sell equity, they can take loans against a stock in their assets, there are so many different ways they can create capital to bring into their companies. small companies have none of those choices, particularly now, it was a huge mistake. it should have been delineated right off the top of that public

companies are not eligible. >> laura: research institutions, harvard university, big colleges and universities that have endowments that are larger than the gdp of some countries and are you kidding me? i'm a restaurant tour down the street and he's like my employees are in tears every d day. >> it's unfortunate, the way it turned out. banks are trying to do their best, they were overmatched. it's hard to be subjective and understand who should get the money and who shouldn't. the reality is there should have been limits placed in terms of total assets, total revenue. other ways to determine if a company or organization is too big to qualify and that with the failing. they rushed it through and they needed to get the money out quickly, so we expect that there should have been mistakes or there would be mistakes but there should've been assets placed on this. >> laura: i have to get your reaction to what the governor of

your state, texas, said today. >> our team has received a lot of information from various different private sector businesses that are prepared to open up their doors as soon as possible, they are providing us with information and strategies about what they consider to be the safe way they can open their businesses while also containing the spread of covid-19. >> laura: texas is a place that's always going to do it big, bold, and i think it's safe but are they making the right: texas? >> not yet, i'll tell you why. we want to get open, i want my businesses to get open quickly but the reality is, the state and the federal government need to put together protocols that define what is necessary to protect not only the customers coming in but the employees as well. i can give you a thousand examples of things that haven't been thought out yet that we need to talk about. >> laura: he said he's consulted with health

professionals, the free market, how entrepreneurs are already coming up with how to stay at apart, hand sanitizers, constant washing, masks were appropriate but his point i think is people literally feel like they are losing their lives. everything they worked for for 30 years is going down the drain and they don't have another three weeks. in another three weeks, they'll be gone. >> that's not really the issue, in order to get people to walk into the businesses, you can't just think you know what? the business says they're going to keep me safe. i'll give you some examples, let's say you want to buy clothing at a store, you try something on but you don't want to buy it, what happens next? you walk into a restaurant and you see somebody's knees who have a mask on, they leave the mask there, how they supposed to dispose of it? it seems common sense but should you treated as a hazardous material? what are protocols and restrooms, what can be touched

and what can't be touched? if the state were to publish the guidelines that were specific to each different type of business, that would increase consumer confidence. the fact that there is no federal or state guidelines means it's all up in the area you have to trust these companies. i use the kid test, what i let my kids walk into one of these companies without having a lot more stringent guidelines and the answer is no. on the flip side of all this, if the state or federal government does put these guidelines in place, you build the confidence of the people so when these stores and businesses open up, people feel safe walking into them. >> laura: i think what we are going to see and evidence will come out over the next four weeks, three weeks or so is that these different strains of the virus, perhaps more virulent in different parts of the country, that also will affect how people either have confidence or more

confidence as they go into these businesses, when we actually start seeing the true infection rate -- it's all data. you need data and you need confidence. we'll and see what happens, it's great to see you as always. up next, we warned them and they didn't listen, now criminals released early are breaking the law now. we talked to a california sheriff who was just forced to free a suspected child abuse or, that's next.

>> we do see some recidivism and i think it's unconscionable on a human level that folks were shown mercy and this is what some of them have done. >> laura: is he really shocked that releasing hundreds of criminals onto the streets

wouldn't get really ugly? he shouldn't be shocked obviously, new york city is one of the many locales that released inmates early over fears of outbreaks in prison. it's obvious to anyone with a brain that this was a horrifically stupid idea but they did it anyway and now americans are being harmed as a result. at least 50 of the 1500 inmates set for he ended up back behind bars, i can't believe it's that low including a 31-year-old male who is in jail for letting his girlfriend's door on fire and then choking her mother. he promptly threatened to kill an entire family according to police. just south of salt lake city, a man released early from a halfway house was charged with breaking into a woman's house. police say he tied her up, held her at knifepoint and threatened to kill her. a man in tampa bay, florida, allegedly committed murder one day after being released early over covid, he was initially jailed on drug charges.

in california, it's a free-for-all for criminals, literally. a new emergency mandate sets cash bail at $0 for some felonies -- that's right, zero. this new rule also includes child abusers. san bernardino county sheriff john mcmahon says he was forced to release a repeat offender, he joins me now. what can you tell us about this suspect? >> i can't speak in detail about his current case but what i did say is he has a prior conviction for child abuse as well as a prior conviction for domestic violence. i think this is an oversight on behalf of the judicial council, i don't believe they intended to leave this specific crime out is that it would be eligible for zero bail but it's our

responsibility in my opinion is law enforcement leaders to only bring information forward to the citizens that we serve but equally important, it's also our responsibility to work with the judicial council on some solutions. i'm happy to say we had a conference call that was very productive with members of the judicial council who clarified some of the concerns that we had but also listen to some of the others. >> laura: let me clarify this. it's a rule -- correct me if i'm wrong -- that you are not able to alert the community to this suspect's release, suspects who had previously been convicted of child and spousal abuse, is that correct? you can't reveal his criminal history to the community? >> i can't reveal his criminal history or the specific facts of the case while it's being adjudicated. i can't talk in detail about it but i can tell you he did have those two prior convictions and

certainly it's a concern for us and it's now going to require our officers to do enhancements to the bail and contact the judge to make sure we can keep these folks in jail. >> laura: no one is saying anyone wants -- no one wants anything bad to happen, we all want to think everything is going to go on and do everything correctly and by the book and according to the law. but i don't have to tell you i spent a lot of time in san bernardino over the years and back in the 1980s -- i remember it, i'm not that old but nice wow comment. >> i grew up here, i've been here a long time. >> laura: i was in college. i know the area pretty well and i've been back a number of times, things have changed a lot in california, we have a lot more drugs, we have a lot more immigrants, some illegal, some documented but it's a different world and a lot of different

concerns, a lot of great people, immigrants, nonimmigrants but is a different world now and you have to keep your people safe in the community safe. a lot of the covid response is making life more difficult response foforyou in the commun. >> i'm not in favor of this but it's our responsibility to figure out how to make it work and i'm certainly happy we had that conversation with the judicial council today and i think they took some of our concerns to heart and i look forward to calls in the future with them to address some of the concerns that sheriffs and our state have about this issue. >> laura: i have a separate question for you and we only have a little bit of time. how has marijuana legalization changed your life in california as far as crime? >> we've seen a significant increase in illegal marijuana grows across our county and the state. >> laura: no doubt about it.
