ill sung. south korea knocking down reports that there have been no abnormal activity in north korea. sean? >> sean: thanks for that update as always. we are not the media mob, let not your heart be troubled. your shows have been great, laura ingraham. i know you have a lot of breaking news tonight. >> laura: thank you so much, sean. the news coming in these community tests, the studies that have beenen done in the antibodies is giving us new data and new perspective and wes are ewall over it. fantastic show as always but we'll talk to you tomorrow. i am laura ingraham, this is "the ingraham angle" from another busy week in washington. we will speak to one of the few academic voices o who had the courage to call out what he thought could very well be the werrors of using models that we touted by government officials and that help foreign government response. going too tell us now what fute predictions we should be wary of. what the heck is going on in

california? governor newsom wants to give illegal immigrants tens of millions of dollars to help with covid recovery. but canco his residences sue him for that? he's been forced to free a repeat child abuse or because of the virus. he's here tonight to tell us. why are deep-pocketed institutions getting more stimulus money before the struggling small businesses that it was all focused on? dallas mavericks owner and entrepreneur mark cuban is here on that. but first, my thoughts at the end of day 36, america and shut down. when we started to turn the corner on this virus, we knew we would see a constant effort to block 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 a

san francisco neighborhood, very nice. and some nights in her vineyard in napa valley. do you really think nancy minds doing press interviews from her gourmet kitchen? >> speaker pelosi, what are you going to share us from your home? >> chocolate. >> really? >> chocolate candy. >> wow. >> laura: while choosing between the lemon peach gelato andem the coconut sorbet, she lt small businesses desperate for relief dangling, using their pain to extract concessions that were basically unrelated to thlping small businesses in that ppe extension bill that the president plans on signing. now, of course she's not alone. many have played the moment for maximum political leverage and shameless self-promotion. but seriously, while there is no minimizing the horrible human tragedy of this virus, and 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. and although more than 44,000 americans have lost their lives to covid-19, we had 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 first that we had to shut everything down in order to save the health care system. today it, the only thing threatening the health care system is itself. number two, we were told we had to lock down because we didn't have enough ventilators. now weth have more than enough ventilators. number three and, now some governors say that they can't reopen because they don't have enough tests. well, how many? some experts say we need to do 20 million tests a day. that's realistic.

we are doing roughly 120,000 tests a day right now, more than any country on earth. and number of four, even if governor's security tests, they are going to claim they can't reopen until they have an army of tracers and trackers. how many do they need? one estimate says they need 300,000. how long would that take to set up? maybe... i don't know. i can't think of how long that would take the train all those people. our state governors prepare delma prepared to pay for it all. whyld should montana fit the bil for bill dell bloviator's mistake. we are told we have to stay locked down until there is a vaccine. dr. fauci concedes we may never have a vaccine for the coronavirus. going to take a long time if we have one. we don't have a vaccine for hiv.

but thankfully it wonderful therapies were developed to save lots of lives. the left doesn't have any intention of letting society return to normal. they never liked the old and normal. remember, trump was elected during the old normal days. brett kavanaugh was confirmed to the supreme court in the old normal. and the russia hoax collapsed during the normal days. no those who have been frustrated that america has not evolved to progress are using the crisis to change for changing society. as andrew cuomo said, to remake it and reimagine it. and right now, a 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 of force on the broader american life that must go on before the nation itself flatlined. what does the president need to

do rightwh 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 are the reasons we shot down and they no longer apply. number two emma control the narrative on testing and tracking. keep explaining to the press and governors and members of congress that the u.s. government has made testing and tracking progress and they are going to continue to. emphasize key points, our efforts have been world-class and current testing and trafficking efforts are sufficient to allow significant portions of the country toy reopen. plus they've got 25 billion today for testing and tracking time of the states did, in the new deal. three, the president has demonstrated time and again that this has been a great aspect of the leadership during this period that he's willing to work with anyone and everyone to getc

america back to work. keep it up. some might act in bad faith out there, we know that, but others just want their peoplean to get back to work and their kids back to school. number four, keep working with congress. even if members seem unreasonable and mean-spirited, take the temperature down, it's good for everybody. get folks through this immediate crisis. now we are going to need legislation that will help restart and rebuild the country. >> as the president said, we would look forward to face four, with the infrastructure, the president has been talking about infrastructure during this campaign. road, bridges, broadband, now broadband to rule america is very important. we have talked about incentives to restaurants, sports, entertainment, these businesses have been impacted. the president has talked multiple times about a payroll tax cut.

>> laura: and five, america first now more than ever. the president was 100% correct to use his executive authority to freeze immigration during this crisis. >> it would be wrong and unjust for americans laid off by the virus to be replaced with new immigrant laborers flown in from abroad. we want to protect our u.s. workers and i think 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. we will protect the solvency of our health care system and provide relief to jobless americans. >> laura:ri it would've been more america first and effective, let alone more popular, if he had extended this pause to the thousands and thousands of temporary workersor that come in every year. but this is an important and will be a very popular start. so americans agree with trump?o of course they are. more than 8 of 10 support a

pause according to the uterus lateslatest usa pole even during a pandemic. >> that's not where the problem hais coming on. it avoids with him having to deal with the fact we went almost without two months or more without actions. >> it can only be understood as a political math cannot has a public health matter. redirecting someot blame to foreigners who presumably have something to do with it. >> the president is trying to extend the wings of xenophobia.t americans brought coronavirus here. it was already here. >> laura: it's laughable! the accused trump of xenophobia when he should travel from china. they are still doing it! trump has smoked them out here brilliantly. they are perfectly hoppy locking down the american people while throwing the dollars door open to thousands of people

from every country. i am on the flip field or for not wearing a mask, but welcome symptomatic foreign workers and health care? it's on us, the american workers. they won't even let us go to church if we are sitting 6 feet apart. but they want immigration flowing like there wasas never a crisis. so until the prologue down folks are willing to support efforts to reopen the economy, they are in no position to insist thatrm immigrations to go on as normal, it's absurd. the president is showing how america first goes from being a campaign theme to a way of life. and those are my thoughts at the and of day 36, america and shut. way back an eternity ago, i'm so excited about this next interview. on march 17th, 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 that the data collected so far on how many people are infected and how the epidemic is involving our are utterly unreliable. given the limited testing some i deaths and probably the vast majority of infections due to sars coated sars laura 2 the true enforcement rate may m be 55 times higher ty thought by the experts, meaning through fatality of the virus is so low that of seasonable seasonable influenza.n professor, it's great to have you on tonight. this new research from the l.a. department of public health shows that the true infection rate is as much as 4% of l.a

l.a. county. the population authority been infected with the press. what does that mean for the next step. >> laura: we have four more people infected with the virus and we thought previously. this one study multiple studies that corroborate the ending, the studies alone is subject to scrutiny and it needs to be carefully peer reviewed scientists. the totality of the evidence of the data we have in california we are assessing also in italy, germany, the that body studies as well as assessments of blood onnd her study study long as universal screenings in women who deliver in new yor new yorkt dell among hospitals and shelters, and air carriers, and other places. all the evidence points to infection its very its very name

have no symptoms, they don't recognize that. but at the same time, there are people, there are settings where the infections can be devastating. but we have a more complete picture of the people and property and a better ending for the better science because science is the best thing that can happen to humans. we have data, we can use decisively decision >> in the which all the and that looks terrible when you look at it. here are some of the maps they should be using. when you break down cases by geography youes see that it's really headed in the pats, the same thing. t they are largely relegated to a

few you see it in new york in anew jersey, a few other place. he goes back to your original article. when you don't have the data and have to make these calls, we were worried about millions of people potentially dying on the imperial college survey prediction or projection, it was a rush to lock down because you couldn't risk millions of people dying. so what lessons do we learn going forward here? >> i think the initial decisions which we were d going for, shelr in place and locked down, were fully justified. the estimates that we had at the time were based on very limited information. the bestn scientists in the wod with the best calculations possible, they are not to be blamed if they could not get it right if they had data that was unreliable. so they were perfectly correct in going to make this decision that were very aggressive. right now, we have a more

nuanced picture. we realize we are dealing with a serious problem, serious enemy. that virus that we know specifically how it can be lethal. we know it can be lethal when it attacks elderly individuals, people with underlying diseases, people is we have neglected in thisly country and many 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. we need to try to avoid that because the infection usually has no symptoms. it's very difficult to tell that someone is infected and avoid being exposed to that person. we need to focus our efforts on trying to really salvage hospitals that are under major threats, some other locations and settings like nursing home,

chronic care facility. we need to protect multiple individuals, those who are in the hospital, many people get infected in the t hospital rathr than the community. at the same time to reassure that the large majority of the from covid-19 is very low. it is not null. i don't want to say there is no problem at all. for the vast majority of the population, they should be open to deal with this, take steps opening up our society with science and with data. >> laura: the cdc director, professor, has credit dire prediction, "the washington post" reporting, there is a possibility that the assault of the virus on our nation t next winter will actuay be even more difficult than the one we just went through. that's robert redfield, he went

on to say that the protests by americans who want to get out of this lockdown weret not helpfu. wasn't responsible to use that language about, or the prediction about next winteren given how bungled the cdc frankly handled the test? >> i think the cdc needs to be cautious and i can sympathize with someone who wants to think about the worst that can happen. at the same time i would argue that we need to track may require fairly how the epidemic is evolving. we have scientific tools to measure how frequent the infection is and how frequent is the insurance of new infections. we also have our eyes on hospitals, the beds we have available, how many ventilators, how many icu beds. all predictions and all forecasts, they can be made.

personally i would avoid putting a lot of trust in them because we just don't know. i think we have to be honest thates we don't know whether or how bad a spike would be in winter. >> laura: professor, hold on. there is i one thing we want to get to because our viewers have been asking about this knowing you are coming on today. there is a big controversy about masks, shaming people who wear masks. this is what dr. zeke emanuel who came up with obamacare, what he said about this issue. watch. >> it's really important to make that the new normal. i think we have to make wearing the 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've got to put on the seat belt. it's good for you, it's good for everyone. >> laura: professor, thoughts on the mask issue. >> masks are a contentious issue. zeke emanuel is a good friend

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

our people. and the country and the world at large. because there is too much at stake, both from the virus and in fact even more from measures that may be too harsh, too much, too long that would probably not tolerate. >> laura: professor, i wish i d could read your entire cv because it's so impressive. you had an incredible career you are so long and you are greek, that's another reason we like you. thank you, professor. come back soon. >> thank you, laura. have a good day. >> laura: coming up now at this very moment, china is increasing their spying activity in the united states. that's great. later, can california residents sue gavin newsom for funneling taxpayer dollars to illegals. we will 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 announce a program for direct disaster assistance to those individuals. a total of $125 million to provide individual assistance of $500 and household assistance of up to $1,000. >> laura: won the left says we need a new normal, that's what they mean. taxpayer a slap in the face of legalcalig the 1 million were now out of work in california. the next steps as it violates has done an incredible civil rights litigation over the past

couple of years, constitutional lawut expert. harmeet, planning to file this lawsuit against newsom for doing this on what basis? >> well, laura, or state constitution bars cash handouts to anybody through nongovernment entities. that's one violation that's occurring. the governor made clear in his comments that he was basically giving this out in lieu of the unemployment benefits that state law bars and federal law bars as well from aliens here illegally cannot get those. on top of that, there are no criteria. he has not gone through the normal we will be filing that very shortly. >> laura: harmeet, you have a tro, temporary restraining order, on a case involving a california church. explain that. >> sure. last week we filed on behalf of

of one parishioner because the various counties where boring people from doing driving religious services. we filed the lawsuit, we filed a tro. the judge set a hearing for tomorrow 2:00 p.m. pacific time and we'll be arguing that by telephone. meanwhile the state came forward in the opposition brief and said now the governor is interpreting drive-in services as a form of technology like streaming video so it's okay. they basically revise their order by back track which is a victory for californians but it doesn't go far enough. we believe religion should not be treated as a second-class tear, second level, and it's entitled to all 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, it's not the essential business of their life, it's the primary foundation of their lives. so it goes beyond essential for

most people. but you know, liquor stores, bike stores are open, but you can get hot -- you can get pot in after california. >> essential service britt laundry, walmart, home depot. i like that because -- to many people of faith to be able to go to their church, mosque, synagogue, sikh temple it's more important to them than many of these things that are being allowed by the government. >> laura: thank you for these updates. i have to ask you about this, fox music excessively reporting today that missouri became the first state to file a lawsuit against china, excusing the country of seeking damages to make up for the enormous loss of life, economic turmoil resulting from the disease. it feels good to even say those words. is that the best course of action? >> i think it's a feel-good

gesture that has no legal merit, i'm sorry to say. we are u all angry with china ad there are number of things we can do but the foreign sovereign immunities act clearly bars this and there is a separate law that was meant to attack state-sponsored terrorism called just congress could pass a new law that could allow this but that could not be the best thing to do. right t now the president is already restricting immigration. he could suspend the student visas from china. every one of our top institutions are filled with people taking up slots in americans thatamericans could be taking. he could aggressively crackdown on the espionage that's rahappening. we should be treating china like we treated russia during the cold war. >> laura: absolutely. >> we can conduct tariffs and so many things the president can do right now. the one that people are with them on this immigration freeze, have got to expand that too. harmeet, thank you so much and

thank you for the work you are doing on behalf of civil liberties and a lot of so-called civil libertarians forgot about them during this crisis. thank you so much. speaking of china, they are ramping up their disinformation campaign to avoid blame for unleashing the coronavirus on the world. current and former intel officials now telling fox that beijing is upping its spy game on u.s. soil with a focus on manipulating them narrative. onean source says it's aboutou saving face for them, it's about leaking out all's false info even toour intellige. joining me a man who knows is more than anyone, steve mosher, author of "the bully of asia." this is really troubling, not surprising to people like you ow frankly myself who have been talking about the china threat for decades. but now we see members of the media lavishing china with praise for their response to the virus. what about that?

>> yeah, it's astonishing. 20 years ago, we had 8,000 chinese run companies carrying out as being under various kinds, commercializing it, selling it back to us. but now we have media companies in the united states, i think you always have to follow the money. i think you always have to understand who owns the company now because once great american media institutions are now bought by chinese billionaires. i'm not sure i want to name names because once upon a time they were good american institutions, they still have american names, but they are carrying chinese propaganda and among the propaganda they are carrying is the idea that the chinese coronavirus was actually not originated in china but it came from a lab in the united states. >> laura: steve, the thing about this chinese student situation in thebo united states and researchers at our preeminent institutions like stanford and harvard and princeton and mit, these are the

crown jewels of research institutions ine the world, not to take anything away from international and other foreign institutions. butt mit, stanford, harvard, ths is it. amongst the best ofng the best n the world. what about that? we have an open door policy for chinese scholars even with what we saw with harvard, with the professor working hand in glove withvah the chinese. this has to end yesterday, correct? >> it really does. we get hundreds of millions of dollars in research grants to major research institutions in the united states and professor charles lieber you mention from harvard got $15 million to develop products that he then took to china under the thousand talons program apparently and was working with the university of technology in that famous place now called wuhan and was paid generously over the years

for really 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 the chinese students and scholars i know before they leave china are all told, if you come across any commercially valuable information in the united states, you know, you should seize it for the motherland and you should bring it back to china, or you should work in place to continue taking that technology and transferring it to china. we've got to keep them out. >> 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 spying in tracking people's every movement. we'll talk about that next time for thanks so much for joining us tonight. here's a question: why did companies and institutions get stimulus money that was meant for struggling small businesses?

mark cuban is here next with answers and remedies. when we started our business

we were paying an arm and a leg for postage. i remember setting up shipstation. one or two clicks and everything was up and running. i was printing out labels and saving money. shipstation saves us so much time. it makes it really easy and seamless. pick an order, print everything you need, slap the label onto the box, and it's ready to go. our costs for shipping were cut in half. just like that. shipstation. the #1 choice of online sellers. go to shipstation.com/tv and get 2 months free. >> live from america's news headquarters, i am marianne rafferty. oil prices hitting new lows with the coronavirus pandemic keeping most americans home. the u.s. benchmark for crude oil trading below $7 a barrel, more than 80% drop compared to last

year. with most of the country and locked down, then demand for oil is low, but oil rigs are still pumping and running out of storage. some brokers believe suppliers may pay buyers to take the oil off their hands. and president trump announcing a temporary suspension on immigration amid the pandemic. the executive order places a pause on the issuance of green cards but not temporary workers. the administration is limiting i am marianne rafferty. now back to the "incremental." "the ingraham angle." >> certain people on the ppe may not have been clear and understanding the c certificati. if you pay back the loan right away, you won't have y liability to the spa and to treasury. but there are severe consequences for people who do not test properly the certification. we want to make sure this money is available for small

businesses needing people who invested their entire life savings. >> laura: 's treasury secretary steve nguyen responding to criticism that wealthy institutions taking on millions of funds for smallal businesses. here's a snapshot of the corporate grip. bigll national chain restaurants likeke potbelly, ruth chris steak house, even though they have considerable cash on hand, in total forbes sounded 41 public treated companies that received a total of $300 million of emergency loans. small businesses around the country are running out of options. >> feels like you are isolated all alone with nowhere to go. >> a punch in the gut, one. you hear that some people got $20 million, number two. speak at the big banks, they pick thehe winners and losers in

this. >> joining me now is mark cuban, dallas mavericks owner and star of the show "shark tank," also a member of president trump's committee to reopen the economy. what do you think of that? it gets people so upset. some of the businesses have given back the money or say they will get back the money like shake shack, i guess. how does this kind of thing and that happening. >> who knows how it happened, a real father, and i'll tell you why, they don't have options to go out and just get money. public companies have a variety of options. they. can do secondaries, sell equity, sell options, they can take loans against their assets. so many different ways they can create capital to bring it to the companies. small companies have none of those choices, particularly now. that's a huge mistake. it should have been delineated right up the top that public companies are notot eligible.

>> laura: research institutions. harvard university, big colleges and universities that have endowments, larger than the gdp of some countries. are you kidding me? i'm a restaurateur down the street, my employees are in e tears every day, they say to ! >> it's unfortunate how that turned out and banks were trying to do their best. they were overmatched, it's hard to be subjective and t understad who should get the money and who shouldn't.y but the reality is there should of been limits placed in term of total assets, total venues. other ways to determine if the organization to follow by, that was a failing pier they rushed it through and they need to give the money out quickly so we expected there should have been mistakes and he would be mistakes. >> laura: i i have to get your reaction to what the governor of your state in texas said today.

>> our team has received a lot of information in this different private sector businesses that are prepared to open up their doors as soon as possible and theypo are providing us with information strategies they consider to be a safe way to open their businesses but also containing the spread of 19. laura: going to do it big, t bold, but they are making the right call in texas? >> not yet and i will tell you why. sswant my business is to get open quickly. but the reality is the state and the federal government need to put together a protocol that define what's necessary not only for the summer is coming in but the employees as well. you a solid example of things that have not been thought out thyet that we need to talk abou.

that he's considered temples to impose, are constant washing, mass where appropriate. to his point i think, markham will feel like they are losing their lives. everything they've worked for for 30 years are going to the train and they don't have another three weeks. in another three to four weeks, they'll be gone. >> you are right. that's not really they' issue. to get people to walk in those businesses, you can't think of you know what, the business is going to keep me safe. i will give you some examples. let's say you want to go into fight clothing at a store and you try something on but you y don't want to buy it. what happens next? you walk into a restaurant and you see somebody sneeze that has a mask on. they leave the mask there. how are they supposed to dispose of common sense, you throw it in ithe trash, but should you tret that as a hazardous material? what are the particles in

restrooms, what can be touchable it can't be touched. if the state were to publish the guidelines that were specific to each type of business, then that would increase consumer confidence to those businesses. there are no federal or state guidelines, it's all up in the g air and you just have to trust these companies. i use the kid test from what ik 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 of this, if the federal government does put these guidelines in place, you build the confidence of the people so when the stores and when these businesses hope and love, people still feel safe pewalking into them. >> laura: the evidence that i'll come over the next four or three weeks, mark, these different strains of the virus or perhaps more of ireland in different parts of the country, that also affect how people either have confidence with more confidence as they go into these

businesses when we actually start seeing the true infection rate and the true of of great to see you as always. come back soon. up next, we warn them but didn't listen but now criminals released early due to covid are running wild and breaking the law now! we talked to a california sheriff who was just forced to free a suspected child abuse or. that's next. - when i noticed my sister moving differently, i didn't

know what was happening. she said it was like someone else was controlling her mouth. her doctor said she has tardive dyskinesia, which may be related to important medication she takes for her depression. her ankles would also roll and her toes would stretch out. i noticed she was avoiding her friends and family. td can affect different parts of the body. it may also affect people who take medications for bipolar disorder and schizophrenia. she knows she shouldn't stop or change her medication, so we were relieved to learn there are treatment options for td. - if this sounds like you or someone you know, visit talkabouttd.com to sign up to receive a personalized doctor discussion guide to help start a conversation with your doctor about td. you'll also be able to access videos and a free brochure that show the different movements of td. visit talkabouttd.com or call to learn more. - we were so relieved to learn there are treatments for td. - learn more at talkabouttd.com.

>> we do see some recidivism and i do think that folks are showing mercy and this is what they have done. >> laura: is a really shocked, releasing thousands of criminals

on the streets would be ugly? he shouldn't be shocked. new york city is one of the many locales that released inmates early out of fears of b26 outbreaks in prison. obvious with anyone with a brain that this was a horrifically stupid idea, but they did it anyway and americans are being harmed as a result. at least 50 of the 1500 inmates went back behind bars. a31-year-old male who was sent for lighting his girlfriend's door on fire and choking his mother. he promptly threatened to kill an entire family, according to the police.ce south of southlake city utah, a man released early from a halfway house due to covid was charged with breaking into a woman's house. police say tied her up to my holder at knife point and threatened to kill her. a tampa-based inmate committed murder, initially jailed under drug charges.

and in california, it's a free-for-all for criminals, literally. a new emergency mandate set cash bail at $0 for some felonies. that's right, zero. casey tv ellie reporter bill in the this new rule also includes child abusers. san bernardino sheriff john mcmahon was forced to release a repeat offender and he joins me now. what can you tell us about the suspect? >> good evening, laura, and i can't speak in detail about his current case but what i did say before was he had a prior conviction for child abuse asri well as a prior conviction forn domestic violence. and although i think this is an oversight on behalf of the judicial council, i don't believe they intend to leave this specific crime out so it'd be eligible for zero bail, but it's our responsibility in my

opinion as law enforcement leaders to only bring this information forward to the citizens that we served, but equally important it's our responsibility to work with the judicial council on some solutions. i am happy to say today 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 listened to some of the others. >> laura: hold on to a sheriff. let clarify l this. if they ruled, correct me if i'm wrong, if you are not able to alert the community to this suspects release, suspects who had been previously convicted of child and spousal abuse, is that correct under california law? you can't reveal his history to the community? >> i can't reveal his specific facts of his case before it's been adjudicated, i can't talk in detail of it but i can tell you he had those two prior

convictions. it's a concern to us and it's going to require our officers to do enhancements to the bail and get to the on-call judge to make sure that we can get these folks in jail. >> laura: nobody is saying that anybody wants -- heck, nobody wants anything bad to happen. we want to think that everyone is going to go on and do everything correctly and by the books according to the law. but i don't have to tell you, i spent at lot of time in san bernardino over the years. back in the 1980s, sheriff. i remember it -- i'm not that old. but okay. nice wow comment. i was in college! give me a break. i know the area pretty well. been back a number of times. things have changed a lot in california. we've got a lot more drugs. we've got a lot more obviouslye immigrants, some illegal, some documented. but it's a different world and a lot of different concerns, and a lot of great people.

immigrants, nonimmigrants. but it's a different world now. you have to keep your people safe in the community safe. and a lot of the covid responses are making life more difficult for you and the community as a result. >> certainly. he with you. although i'm not in favor of this, it's our responsibility to figure out how to make it work at this point and i'm certainly happy that we had this conversation judicial council today and i really think they took some of our concerns to heart and i look forward to calls in the future with them to maybe address some of the concerns that sheriff in our state have about this issue. >> laura: sheriff, i have a separate question for youep i kw we have a little bit of how has marijuana legalization change your life there in california as far as crime? >> we've seen a significant increase in illegal marijuana growth across the county, across the state. >> no doubt about it. sheriff, thank you so much.

great to see you tonight. stay safe out there. give our best to all the officers on the force. stay tuned for an alternate death might offer you can't refuse on the last bite next.
