to have to -- >> that in the story they gave turned out to be false. they took them out of the hospital. hannity doubt, we got a great mother's day gift for you. laura. >> laura: why would people need to push panic? we are in the middle of a pandemic. i think people have kind of seen it, they know the tragedies, they understand the cost and the damages. it's bad. i don't think they need to make it any more bad for america. i think we get it. >> sean: the interviews they did with hospital workers -- >> laura: i saw. >> sean: yeah, they're saying if they were taken away from their jobs to go be on the line of so they could have a better staging a fake news shot. >> laura: it's this is -- is they are kind of moving -- there like the cardboard cutout of the academy awards, when people have to go to the bathroom. in this case, there is no one

going to the bathroom, there's no one in the line. hannity, fantastic. glad you showed that. >> sean: have a great show. it's the one i'll see you tomorrow. i'm laura ingraham, this is the "ingraham angle" from washington. an alarming story for each night, won the new york city police union's warning mayor de blasio that the city could collapse. it's social distancing enforcement continues. former nypd commissioner is here on that. also a dallas woman is sitting in jail tonight after she defied the stay-at-home orders to open her salon. the attorney general of texas wants her released, he's going to tell us how he intends to do that. and raymond arroyo on the latest drama, let's call it broke well. along with a troubling story about asking churches to track there. seen and unseen as i had. but first, my thoughts on america and shut down.

day 51. now, it's hard to imagine that they are actually people out there who seem happier when most of america is invincible. and conversely, their miserable when most of you happy. but that sums up things on the left in the age of trauma, and especially during this unprecedented covert crisis. now, with the pandemic, as a kind of cover, they are kind of excited about ramming through this new vision for a new america. i'm not just talking about one where we wash her hands as often as we should, or cough into her elbows. the goal here is to remake america into a progressive society, supposedly, a more equitable society. >> were not going back to normal. it's back to a new normal. >> we may never have the normal that we had prior to covid-19. >> let's take this experience, and really learn how we could do differently, and better with our

education system because of technology and virtual educati education. >> laura: now, let's face it. at these people, a lot of them, didn't like the old to normal. why? because in the old normal the people elected donald trump. today, "the new york times" published a shockingly honest about what really irks the left about traditional america. one word, freedom. open states, lots of guns, america is paying a heavy price for freedom. at the title read. and in predictable fashion, columnist praises europe's more enlightened approach to lockdown, then complains that we're just too free for our own darn good. americans who question mandates on mask wearing are stupid, selfish, and dangerous. just like those gun rights advocates. this is what he says "in this narrow world view, freedom has a price. it's a price that will be

calculated, and then set by a select few. the rest of us, nearly pay it." wait, they are actually complaining about a select few setting the rules? but isn't this how the left prefers that? they certainly don't prefer ruled by the people. people who still believe in quaint things like the first and second amendment. the left prefer rule by a few. maybe if you billionaire technocrats, or by an elected bureaucrat. and by liberal governors who prolong these shutdowns without legislative oversight at all. the entire of the people by the people for the people thing hasn't really delivered that progressive utopia that the left so desperately desires. but may be, just maybe, the pandemic will. >> there is a primordial american tradition going back to

the founders of being freedom of death, even though where a country founded on slavery and, we are blind to other states of stress. what have you. >> laura: let that sink in. we are freedom obsessed. yes, i am. guilty as charged. freedom obsessed. most people want to go on with their lives. you get the sense, you can see it around you. they understand that walking out the door every day entails risk. sometimes serious ones. the old normal, so then, means little league, high school proms, graduations, it means to church on sunday or other types of worship. work on monday. it means dinner with friends and family vacations every now and then. of course, it is a horrible tragedy that so many americans had to die because of this virus that started in china, it's awful.

but it would be an even worse tragedy if we lost our country because of it. we can never bring back those we've lost, but we can try to repair the cultural and economic damage before it's too late. this is how parents describes the old normal. you know, that normal at the end of 2019 before the coronavirus? "households are in good shape. unemployment is at half-century low. wages have been increasing faster than inflation, and consumer confidence remains nearest high of the cycle." that likely helps them feel particularly jolly this holiday season, it may open the walls to celebrate. it seems like a long time ago now, doesn't? rather than being happy that they were doing so well just a few months back, the airheads in the liberal media just became more bitter, it seems. as democrats became more committed to impeaching trump at the time and the american left became, frankly, just more

unhinged. as most in the country were enjoying life pr precovid-19. they were engulfed in anger and resentment. at their faces told the story. pelosi, schumer, schiff, waters, and done there were the trumpeting anchors and pundits pretending to be journalist. they all felt dejected and demoralized. nicole wallace, don lemon, chuck todd, jake tapper. but now they kind of see their opening. reenergized, reorganized, may be reinventing. >> so what do we need to do to make sure that we actually help real people, and that goes for renters, but it also goes for mom-and-pop landlords, you know, one of the first things that we

talk about which is our first demand, is rent cancellation. >> laura: i mean, i've never seen her happier. she looks like, glowing. before they argued that trump was put in's puppet, now they say that he's a murderer for not being more like pollutant, and ordering the nation to close. remember, in their utopia, you may get free bread and milk, but you won't have your freedom, my friends. they will call the shots. you will be traced and tracks, not just for viruses, but in every aspect of your life. if you don't believe me? let's take a look at the place they're placing for its responsible response to the virus, china. it has begun a bold mass experiment in using data to regulate citizen's lives by them to use software on their smartphones that dictates whether they should be quarantined or allowed into subways, malls, or other public spaces.

this is all being done for your own good, of course. that's what the left wants you to think. but is that what really, americans want? those are my thoughts at the end of day 51, america and shut down. joining me now is dan bongino, fox news contributor and host of the dan bongino show. former aide to chuck schumer, host of the aggressive progressive podcast. chris, democrats to me, at the end of last year, what america was doing really well, based seem to really angry, upset, frustrated, and resentful. and now, we will never go back to that old normal. do democrats really want us to change the basic way of living because of a virus that was released in china? >> chris: absolutely not. i think everybody was very happy with the economy before this crisis broke out. they might've been unhappy with the chances of being stomach

beating donald trump, but now it there feeling good about that. look, things are going to change after this virus, it's going to be an opportunity for us to re-examine how we deal with health care, how we monitor outbreaks like this, how we behave in public to prevent future outbreaks, but suggesting that progressives and liberals and democrats want to completely reshape society is not accurate. it's not what's going on. look, after world war ii, japan and europe, they built new trains that are faster and got people around. hearing the united states, were still using 19th century technology because we never had the opportunity to rebuild after the war like they did in europe and asia. we are going to have an opportunity after this to re-think about how we communicate with each other. >> laura: what are you talking about? >> chris: no one wants to change society. >> laura: if you want to go post world war ii, i'm all for that. because we had a booming

economy, we had manufacturing, we had american jobs, we didn't ship them oversee stomach overseas, and we weren't interesting in remaking america. we talked patriotism in school, we still had prayer in school, all that was wiped out. they found a depressive, and they were resentful by the time the 60s rolled around. i want to play something that new york governor cuomo said about not letting the crisis go to waste. watch. >> i want to make sure we don't miss the opportunity in the moment, let's take this moment in history to actually improve from where we are, and to build it better. how do we have more social equity in society? a betty to better education, but her health care system. dan, what does that have to do with covid-19, how is that responding to a virus that came out of china? >> dan: it has nothing to do with that, laura. and the constitution which

limits government, doesn't limit you, it limits government. it only matters, it only matters if it matters in a time of crisis. the constitution was precisely designed for moments like this. and if i may quote all their fobs are eco, a noted supporter of economic libertarianism he said once, is not the government's too big, the government's too stupid. government has the knowledge problem. at the smartest people wearing government, they wouldn't be politicians and bureaucrats, they be in the private sector making money. having worked in government as a secret service agent and left, i unfortunately came across this first hand. i'm sorry to say, not all, i don't want to stereotype like liberals do -- but most of the dumbest people i've ever met were in the media and the press pool, and happen to be members of government now dictating to you how you can run your life. chris somehow denying this -- chris doesn't really breed the newspaper often forgive him. he hasn't read it all on education liberty.

he hasn't seen many of those. did you notice there's uptake on a check on homeschoolers? did you see the push in the media, attacks against health care liberty? have you seen the push for massive government spending and new taxation structures? basically the three things that mattered the democrats want more of. more government and your health care, more in your wall wallet. >> chris: i find it really -- i find it hilarious that you're so offended by the governor of the state of new york, who is doing an excellent job, sing after this crisis >> he wants to build back our economy. okay, dan. pipe down dan. >> chris: he wants to build our economy back better. it's in shambles because the president of the united states while he was doing rallies and playing golf.

>> yc asking donald trump for a bailout? when i think -- >> chris: back from the federal government. >> dan: that's funny. >> and i think it might be a good idea for andrew cuomo to focus on what he didn't do, perhaps, if he's already said there's mistake made in nursing homes, if we can't keep our subway cars decently clean as a matter of course, if that's true, located for him, sorry, but i don't want him touching my kids education if i happen to live in new york. they've gotten quite enough on the educational front. i don't see how that has anything to do with the chinese virus. gentlemen, great to see both of you. great to see you looking so well. all right, it isn't just ordinary citizens, though, who are suffering over what the left is calling the new normal. some of the most essential employees are also feeling the

pain. the nypd's union is warning mayor bill de blasio that if he continues using officers to enforce social distancing roles, the city will fall apart before our eyes. here to respond, former nypd commissioner, bernie what the heck is going on in new york city? >> bernard: , well i think it's atrocious. i think it's outrageous that the mayor would put the cops, the men and women in law enforcement in a position to do this, because it contradicts everything you want to think about with regard to community relations, it puts the cops in a position where they have to confront people for things that aren't really the laws. if so you them out there doing things that the attorney gener attorney general, and several federal judges so far had said, may be unconstitutional. they put their hands on someone, they get in a physical

altercation, they have to defend themselves, they are going to get sued. they are going to be in violation of the constitution or some civil liberty. there's going to be civil right suits. somebody's going to be living in their house because they went out and followed in order by the mayor that should've never happened in the first place. i think it's atrocious, i think it's -- i think it's horrible. >> laura: a bernie, is an ongoing conversation about how much benefit will glean from social distancing. obviously they had a lot of social distancing. and new york still has an enormous number of cases, how much -- we don't really know, we don't have a scientific study on how much it helped. but we do know that if new york doesn't get back to business, there are over. they will have two declare bankruptcy at that point. that means everyone is playing. >> bernard: it's just not new york city, it's new york state.

it's new jersey. these leaders, these mayors and governors, are breaking people. they are breaking people mentally, financially, professionally. it they are destroying their lives, and they sit back and say, just do this. the governor's worth $50 million, he doesn't give a damn about the people in new jersey that have to live from paycheck to paycheck. >> laura: it mayor de blasio opposes, by the way, bernie extending line of duty benefits to family members of city workers killed by cocovid-19. >> bernard: he actually opposed that legislation. that takes me back to the aftermath of 9/11 where we hadn't members of congress who would not support and financially support the men and women who were dying of cancer. it there doing it all over again. who's leading the charge? the mayor of the city.

they shouldn't be doing it in the first place. >> laura: councilman borelli, joe borelli, fired back. he told us he is not honoring line of duty death. the trump administration pays for pension, he's using dead corrections officers and sanitation's workers to leverage a bailout. leverage a bailout. those are tough words, but are they accurate? >> bernard: i think the mayor forgets -- the mayor is responsible for new york city. not the president, the mayor. giuliani used to have a plaque on his desk, when you walk into city hall, i'm responsible. in the aftermath of 9/11, it was the mayor that was responsible for new york city, now the governor, not the president, the mayor. he had to be with the crisis. he had to prepare for the crisis. he had to work on the response, the rescue, the recovery, the investigation, with the help of -- not just calling out the

president and saying "you will give me this." at this guy is just trying to take all the money he can get to bail himself out from his prior lunacy. >> laura: well, they certainly always find benefits for illegal immigrants, but they didn't want the federal government telling them what to do then, but now they want bailout. they go, your voice is really important on this. we stand with the nypd. thank you so much. >> bernard: thinks laura thinks laura. >> laura: coming up, how the stay-at-home orders may be slowly killing our cancer patients. we're going to talk to a top oncologist sounding the alarm. it raymond arroyo is here tonight with the latest drama from the coil was

so what's going on? i'm a talking dog. the other issue. oh... i'm scratching like crazy. you've got some allergic itch with skin inflammation. apoquel can work on that itch in as little as 4 hours, whether it's a new or chronic problem. and apoquel's treated over 7 million dogs. nice. and... the talking dog thing? is it bothering you? no... itching like a dog is bothering me. until dogs can speak for themselves, you have to. when allergic itch is a problem, ask for apoquel. apoquel is for the control of itch associated with allergic dermatitis and the control of atopic dermatitis in dogs. do not use apoquel in dogs less than 12 months old or those with serious infections. apoquel may increase the chance of developing serious infections and may cause existing parasitic skin infestations or pre-existing cancers to worsen. do not use in breeding, pregnant, or lactating dogs. most common side effects are vomiting and diarrhea.

feeling better? i'm speechless. thanks for the apoquel. awww. that's what friends are for. ask your veterinarian for apoquel. next to you, apoquel is a dog's best friend.

>> laura: it's about time we

reported some good news on the covid-19 front, and we have two items to bring to you tonight. at the first, we've been waiting for this. this is the full peer-reviewed study by renowned infectious disease special stomach specialist. now it's published for the world to see, including our fda. this is a retrospective study on 1,061 patients and was treated by hydroxychloroquine. here's the key finding. good clinical outcome in very logical cure in 973 patients, or 91.7% of patients. poor outcome for 46 patients, 4.3%. eight deaths, they were all older americans, by eight deaths. and only what a hand stol full f side effects.

it is "safe and associated with very low fatality rates in patients" the key seems to be to take this combination, according to these doctors, early, not rate stomach wait until you're hospitalized. now we have multiple studies across the globe, and reports from treating physicians regarding the safety and efficacy of hydroxychloroquine. along with hundreds of thousands of lupus and rheumatoid arthritis patients who have been taking the drug for decades without complications. time for the fda, president himself, to pull back on the misguided and unnecessary warning that was issued a few weeks ago. and in another potentially positive development, to u.k. scientists analyzed the evidence on the risk of children spreading covert covid-19. if this was their take away at the current time, children do not appear to be super

spreaders. government should allow children back to school regardless of morbidity. some doctors have taken issue with this claim, they insist that children who carry the virus can transmit it. the lead scientists will be joining us tomorrow night, i look forward to it. 80 questions be 21 has been asking since this began, is how many lives will be lost from ordering people to stay at home? we have depression, we have opioid addiction, other addictions, spousal abuse, et cetera. they shutdowns have already have a devastating impact on cancer treatment. data from community oncology practice shows a huge drop in patient visits, including a 17% decline for chemotherapy appointments in the northeastern united states. cancellations and no-shows are up 80% through april. her joining me now is dr.

dr. william, oncologist and hematologist. it doctor, good to see you again. not only is this terrible for patients, but doesn't it threaten to unravel an entire medical profession if this goes on much longer. >> yes, laura, they're basically three venues where we give oncology treatments. those doctors that are associated with hospitals and paid by hospitals, largely in the northeast, those doctors have been drafted to take care of the covid-19 patients. as so many of their patients have their treatments either attenuated or the reduction and intensity, we don't have a safety net there to protect them when they get very aggressive therapies, which is what they need, often. so that's one group of patients who are not getting therapist. at the second group is the number of doctors who are independent lactation errors, small practices. that they have very, very thin

margins, and with those thin margins, if they're only able to practice two days of the week out of five because of social distancing, or they have to not see as many patients coming down 80%. a year beneath the margin of profit. many of those practices are going to go away. doctors are going to retire, and you're not going to see those oncologist. and then, finally, the third venue, and the one which is doing the best, and probably the most notable of those practices is new york. i spoke to many of my colleagues who work for them, they're getting all the pp's that they need, all the products they need to care for their patients, and they noticed that they've been able to continue on treating those patients without any encumbered men. so that's pretty much where we are. >> laura: just to make sure they understand this, the human cost of these stay-at-home orders becoming -- is

excruciating for families and business, but it's having its own health toll. a watch. >> right now, in washington, d.c., we've had a 20% excess mortality from noncovid-19 related deaths. i just diagnosed a patient this week of breast cancer, and will likely diagnose another person. i think, while focusing on b is exceedingly important, let's not forget the continuing diseases are present. >> laura: dr. grace, i feel like this is really been missing from the national discussion. it certainly missing from the covid-19 task force, which is only focused on the soul focuses on the virus on itself, not on all these other effects. >> you're right laura, in fact, if you talk to surgeons, if you talk to radiologists, a lot of women are not getting their mammograms. there is no screening for cancer care now in the northeast, there

is no surgery done on breast cancer. most people are being put on hold. there will likely be a survival impact from this covid-19. >> laura: dr. grace, as always, thank you so much for enlightening us all. after thousands of thus, they finally saw fit to have new york cities transportation cleaned. despite that, what they're doing is interesting. at the transit authority will be using powerful ultraviolet lights on trains and buses to kill the coronavirus. dr. david brenner is spearheading the effort, he says that while it's not 100% clear that uv lights will work, it's "inconceivable" that it wouldn't kill this particular virus. he came on. it dr. brenner, great to see you. with your level of confidence in this, why would city officials

have waited so long? >> well, i think the main reason is, in order to disinfect the trains with conventional ultraviolet light, you have to empty trains. you can't have people inside the trains. so it's only since they decided to stop the service in the middle of the night. >> laura: dr. brenner, i remember when this was first raised a few weeks back, a colleague of mine brought it up to me. were looking at it in texas as well. people were kind of laughing at it. saying, oh, this is ridiculous. if this is another fantasy, there's no way this could have any effect on covid-19. it's too simple. you can't do it in restaurants, but they were kind of dismissing it, why do you think that is? >> well, it's -- ultraviolet

light to kill bacteria and viruses has been around for more than a hundred years now. it works really well. for example in a lot of surgical operating theaters overnight to decontaminate. so come the morning you have a nice clean environment with no bacteria, no viruses. it really works. it's very efficient at killing microbes. spoon and dr. brenner, what about the potential harm to individuals exposed to ultraviolet light? is there any danger their questio?because you also hear ta lot. >> well, yes, it's actually true. the conventional germicidal and uv light, which is being initially used in these studies is not safe for human exposure. so that's why they're doing it overnight, bringing the lamps into the cars, closing the

doors, shutting the windows, and then turning the lamps on. there would be no -- nobody would. >> laura: that explains it. so it won't be on continuously throughout the day, which could pose a problem. >> that's correct. i should say that this standard conventional ultraviolet light will be used in that way. we are working on a new type of ultraviolet light which actually still kills viruses, but is safe for human exposure. and that's really -- >> laura: get that out! we want that out as soon as possible. in our restaurants, we wanted everywhere. all you brainiacs have to do that for us, okay? >> okay. >> think you so much. this is incredible stuff. incredible technology that's been around for a while, but it's going to make it better. coming up, big city mayors using coded to restrict freedom.

plus, what are they up to? raymond arroyo is here. every financial plan needs a cfp® professional --

confident financial plans, calming financial plans, complete financial plans. they're all possible with a cfp® professional. find yours at letsmakeaplan.org. >> laura: low-key people, time for seen and unseen, where we expose cultural stories of the week. while some mayors use covid-19 to crack down on their citizens, it cnn, joining us with all the details, fox news contributor,

now in paperback raiment, the mayor of your own city of new orleans has unveiled a new plan to reopen businesses with strings attached. >> raymond: she's going out of her way, refusing to relax restrictions on businesses, even as the rest of louisiana begins to open up. >> we may not be in community spread much longer. but we have to continue the rate of testing, and even do more when we reopen. >> raymond: here's what the mayor's purposing. each distance in new orleans will have to keep a record of who comes into their establishment. customers will have to submit their addresses, phone numbers, and their comings and goings will be recorded, essentially everybody has to be tracked. that's what she's proposing. >> laura: no way. it that sounds a lot like what

the mayor of kansas city and missouri was proposing. right? >> raymond: that mayor quinton lucas, he was asking businesses to keep customer logs as well as houses of worship, which he couldn't sit or say nonessential business. only 10% of their capacity in a building, or ten people. they never did that at walmart, they didn't do that at costco, they didn't do it for groceries. and to those churches are asked to keep records of their parishioners in case of an outbreak. basically, what were talking about here is, if you go to a 7-eleven in new orleans, if you go to a restaurant, you have to fill out your information, or they're going to have to somehow suck it out of your phone, or maybe we should be like disney, have one of those bands, those magic bands where you check in everywhere you go, and they could just track you even when you go to the toilet. >> laura: this is like china. china in new orleans. this is crazy.

i'm going to have to get my louisiana bar license, i'd take the bar down there, start representing people. there's going to be lawsuits filed. all these businesses. get together, you restaurants, you small business owners, and sue this mayor for this outrage. that is absolutely draconian. >> we never had tracking like this during influenza. this was the worst pneumonia and influenza years we had since 1968, one of the worst season, no one talks about that anymore, i wonder why. meanwhile, looks like the reality show continued at cnn, what's happening there? c c4 new york government down like a governor. >> always good to see you big brother. >> good to see you in the

basement. a nice haircut. go do you like it? >> she harbors a deep resentment. it good to see you in the basement anyway. >> lilo called me before the show, said go easy on you. >> my wife, who? >> i'm going to go easy on you. >> delilah. >> raymond: laura, he is pounding and driving home this narrative that quits cuomo was in his basement, i know it's jokey and fun, but that proved to be a lie. the band was covid-19 positive out with no mask while hectoring everyone else to stay indoors. it's absurd. >> laura: it's great television when you're comparing haircuts. i love how chris was a little slow on the uptake with the delilah reference. he's like, what? delilah? how do you not know that? delilah and samson.

>> raymond: is a cuomo brochu continued, they asked dominic touch the lives of all of us >> you harass me and croak me. >> do you want a pat on the ba back? ad hominem ad hominem. >> don't speak spanish on my show. >> raymond: they should do is succumb meanwhile there's that nursing home policy that they implemented. 25% of the victims of vr and nursing, because he passed it executive order because they cannot refuse covert patients. why are they asking about that question might drop the jokes, this is journalistic malfeasance. >> laura: it's a little tedious at this point, don't you think? the supreme court is holding oral arguments, someone on the call today was otherwise occupied. >> what the fcc had said is when the subject matter ranges the

topic, then the call is transformed. >> raymond: you were the clerk. was that an absolute, or constructive discharge? i need to know. >> laura: that argument was flushed right down the toilet by one justice, no, it has to be a justice, not a clerk. clearly the clerks making the oral argument. >> raymond: one of the people arguing the case, whoever it was -- >> laura: no it wasn't. it >> raymond: when you're arguing a case, get out of the bathroom. i think god were not in zoom otherwise we would get the visual picture. >> laura: justice thomas is asking questions. i like that. people haven't heard his voice, i love that. he was in his element. it was cool. >> raymond: ruth bader ginsburg got to hear the

from the hospital. she's out of the hospital tonight, we wish her well. >> laura: give my best year mayor. as dallas judge locked up a hair salon owner for trying to feed her kids. texas attorney general wants her release. he's going to tell us how might do that, next my age-related macular degeneration could lead to vision loss. so today i made a plan with my doctor, which includes preservision... because he said a multi- vitamin alone may not be enough. and it's my vision, my morning walk, my sunday drive, my grandson's beautiful face. only preservision areds2 contains the exact nutrient formula recommended by the national eye institute to help reduce the risk of moderate to advanced amd progression. it's how i see my life. because it's my vision... preservision.

the biggest week in television is almost here. starting may 11, enjoy free access to the best shows and movies from favorites like hbo, showtime, starz and, for the first time ever, hulu and peacock! catch the show someone on twitter says is "omg cray," exclamation mark.

>> laura: while many americans are still living under the under these stay-at-home orders, many more businesses across the great state of texas will begin reopening on friday. trace gallagher is live and our west coast newsroom with all the details. trace? >> this is day six of reopening on may 1st. restaurants, retail stores, and

theaters were allowed to reopen with 25% capacity. they recorded it titleist daily tolls, but health experts say it's way too early for those numbers to have anything to do with lifting restriction, and that it will take two weeks before the state can determine what impact the reopening actually had. although last week they did say we know as we begin reopening, there could be flareups. i want you to know we are ready for that. friday, the governors allowing nail and hair salons to open which is too little, too late for kelly reuther who is serving for opening her nail salon. they called her selfish, he would not send her to jail. she refused. >> i have to disagree with you, sir, when i say that i'm selfish. because feeding my kids is not selfish. i have kids who are going

hundred stomach hungry. >> texas attorney general have called for reuther's immediate release. with quote, i find it outrageous and out of touch a county that released hardened criminals for fear of contracting covid-19 would jail a mother for operating her hair salon in an attempt to put food on her family's table. as of now, shelley luther remains behind bars. laura. spending so much. joining me now is the effort mentioned texas attorney gener attorney general. ken, it's great to see you. you want this salon owner out of jail, how are you going to make that happen? sweetie was a complicated question. were operating under a different regime that we've operated before. that judge, she was held in contempt. the governor can actually pardon that. though it's really public pressure. we can't get an appeal in time,

she's only going to be there seven days. public pressure, and shows like this can highlight the injustice. >> laura: other individuals who are trying to save their lives. when you talk about something you've devoted years to buildi building, that is their lives. it's everything that they dreamed of, everything that they worked for. at their blood, sweat, and tears. in a way, i saw someone say online, she's fighting for her life. but for that, they're putting her in jail. >> you couldn't of said it any better. i have my own business, you have rent paste to payments. this is a woman that has expenses, she has children, and here she is, she can operate. all she's done -- he hasn't sold drugs, she hasn't hurt anybody, she hasn't killed anybody, and
