problem, transcripts by his committee show not a single person has evidence of russian collusion after schiff declared it existed, former director of national intelligence james clapper said, quote, i never saw direct empirical evidence the trump campaign was plotting or conspiring with the russians to middle in the election. susan rice saying i don't recall intelligence, i would consider evidence to that effect. the director of the fbi, andrew mccabe said we have not been able to prove the accuracy of all the information. mitch mcconnell had this to say. >> all these developments we are reading about make it look like this whole russia issue was conspired with by certain people at the fbi. i can't wait to find out what really happened and i think we will.

i'm viewing the third quarter as an important quarter but that will be a transition. you could say a transition into greatness because the year we will have a phenomenal year economically. >> has for the transition, many states taking steps to reopen some parts of their economies. of note you can grab a drink in bars in alaska, some in california will be open to the public, churches in indiana may reopen. construction in pennsylvania can resume and folks in tennessee can get to recreational activities bowling, arcades, minigolf and shooting range but the most notable, salons in texas. this comes after the case of shelley luther, the salon owner put in jail for violating a local order. she spoke with hannity after her release was ordered by the texas supreme court. >> i said i have to open.

they are not making their mortgage. i was -- i still am not caught up. i'm two month behind on my mortgage and decided i would open to create a safe place for the stylist and to make sure i wasn't the reason they were >> reporter: the order to free luther came hours after greg abbott set an executive order retroactively eliminating jail time for violating coronavirus restrictions, spoke about the move at the white house. >> we should not be taking these people and putting them behind bars. these people who spend their life building up a business and being told to shut it down and lose everything they have. >> reporter: 195,000 people have recovered from the fiber so far in the us. hopefully by next week we will be at the 200,000 number. jillian: the story we have been following venezuela releases propaganda video capturing the second detained american. aaron barry shown describing his

controversial position. i am for mothers. they perpetuate the species. they are regrettably nice and above all they love you more than anybody else. so happy mother's day. thanks for sharing your savage moves, and especially your awkward ones. thanks for sharing your cute kids. and your adorable pets. now it's our turn to share... with the geico giveback. a 15% credit on car and motorcycle policies for both current and new customers. and because we're committed for the long haul, the credit lasts your full policy term. so thanks again. one good share deserves another.

subut when we realized she wasn hebattling sensitive skin, we switched to new tide plus downy free. it's gentle on her skin, and dermatologist recommended. new tide pods plus downy free. safe for sensitive skin with eczema and psoriasis. >> definitely not pleasant, but fortunately i have a cell by myself was the worst thing was i didn't get to call anybody when i got there the whole first night. i have a daughter that just turned 17 at home. my boyfriend wasn't there to talk to her, i wouldn't have come home and she wouldn't of known where i was. rob: shelley luther detailing her time in jail arrested for

reopening early and jailed by a judge for refusing to apologize. jillian: she's back home with her family but her story of wanting to see her kids is one playing out across the country. michael burgess says it was the right decision to release luther and he joins us live. thank you for being here, we appreciate it. >> thanks for having me on, the right thing to do, get that woman home. jillian: tell me how this played out in the decision to right this wrong. >> the governor had made the statement that this part of the order was going to expire this afternoon so this transpired two days ago so it seems so unnecessary and so tragic that just because we can, we will, no, that is not a good idea, this seems wrong on so many levels. meeting to keep your business going, you need to keep your

employees stable, it is incredibly important, hairstylists probably more so than almost any other group except healthcare professionals have really suffered during this stay-at-home order. rob: as we look at a statement from governor greg abbott, they had a businesses shutdown through no fault of their own is not sensible and i will not allow it to happen but he is the one that shut it down. i guess my question, how do you keep people if your mission is to keep people from going to work and keep people from doing stuff how do you do that without putting people in jail? almost like he's trying to be on both sides of this thing. >> it is as i understand it is a violation, you normally don't go to jail for a civil violation but get contempt of court decisions at the judge in the case made which i think was wrong. i don't think it is absolutely unnecessary, the risk of her

transmitting the virus in her shop is probably infinitesimally low, chance of being exposed to the virus in a judge's jail is quite high. jillian: a lot of people don't understand hairstylists and salon, a lot of them don't make a salary, they rent chairs from the owners and this is what shelley luther had to say on hannity about her decision. >> we were shutdown march 20 second so it has been several weeks, the government was telling us the money was coming, the dallas county -- kept pushing back the dates of when we would open weeks in advance. my stylists are calling me. i'm two month behind on my mortgage and i decided i would open to create a safe place for the stylist and make sure i wasn't the reason they weren't making money. jillian: a lot of people across the country can understand this. a lot of people waiting for loan

money to get into their accounts. people suffered in that process. >> there is always a bureaucratic coldest back, a lot of the money went very fast, some people are waiting and i understand that. it has been a couple weeks, not from this luther but other stylists having to go into people's homes, got hair on the black market, that doesn't sound safe to me, better to have it on a regulated environment. where standards are met, and cleanliness and sanitation, it is a way to approach this. rob: thank you for your time. jillian: it is 18 after the hour, taking action to protect passengers from covid-19, the changes you could see across the country.

the city was completely a shock to me. i think most of us especially in manhattan and times square, transforming essentially the first big shot, going into the hospital i was working at, what i saw was a huge shock. i've never seen anything like that. i've been a nurse for five years, i have never seen anything like that. they were very sick and affected by coronavirus on pretty much all the levels of the hospital to patients everywhere. it is a huge shock for me. rob: i can imagine what that was like.

a packed hospital surrounded by sickness and death. at any point did you get to a breaking point? >> the whole experience was emotionally taxing, i had a very strong support, could not have done it on my own. also the people i worked alongside, the staff and other nurses, we leans on each other like we were fighting a war and we are still fighting a war with this virus. the support that i got helped pull me up and keep going. jillian: we have seen so many tributes to healthcare workers and front-line workers in the last few weeks while this is going on.

as everyone cheers on, the flyovers in different cities, how does that impact you? >> oh my goodness. nursing is a thankless job. we don't look for praise and thanks. however this kind of feeling of, rotary, cammarata re-that helps us keep our morale up and keep us going. rob: that is something else. we thank you for what you did. glad you are back home in memphis where the weather is better for sure and thank you so much, appreciate your time. 26 minutes after the hour. illinois sued by a church leader who defied the state's restrictions on houses of worship. >> they shouldn't have been having services at all except if they were groups of 10 or less. jillian: pastor stephen castle

rob: back with a fox news alert. a father and son arrested and charged with the murder of amaud arbery. jillian: the moment they were taken into custody. >> reporter: these are the photos from the daily mail showing the arrest of that father and son duo by the georgia bureau of investigation charged with murder in the death of amaud arbery after video circulated showing the black teen in an altercation allegedly with the two men, gregory mcmichael, former police officer and his son, travis mcmichael told police they confronted amaud arbery because they thought he was a burglary suspect.

they applauded that ubi director on twitter for swift action following the arrest, donald trump sharing his condolences to amaud arbery's family. >> my heart goes out to the parents and loved ones of the young gentlemen, a very sad thing. >> reporter: this and what the georgia naacp president said about amaud arbery's death. >> our citizens are standing united, both black and white saying the same thing. justice needs to be done. >> reporter: on twitter there has been reaction from lebron james and stefan curry, the hashtag on twitter i run with amaud arbery has been shared by elizabeth wilder. people run 2.3 miles in dedication to his 20 sixth birthday which would have been today. later this morning is a news conference to talk about the case. police say a third person was involved in the chase and they hope to arrest the suspect soon. be sure to keep you in the loop as what is being said in brunswick, georgia. rob: thank you.

jillian: tara reade opening up in an interview about joe biden's sexual assault. >> you and i were there, joe biden. please come forward and be held accountable. you should not be running on character for president of the united states. we want him to withdraw. i wish he would. but he won't. i wish he would. that is how i feel emotionally. >> you want an apology? >> i think it is a little late. jillian: tara reade told her ex-husband about her complaint. the document says tara reade shared problems she was having with work regarding sexual harassment in joe biden's office, biden denies the allegations. rob: donald trump's reelection campaign unloading a one million-dollar ad blitz against joe biden, targets the former vice president's record on china, the campaign is expected

to spend $10 million on these ads. 11 biden is accused of not standing up to china after opposing donald trump as travel restrictions at the beginning of this pandemic. jillian: your next trip to the airport could look different. rob: cheryl casone he is here. >> reporter: we will get to the airport at some point. the tsa announced employees have to wear face masks when working at airport checkpoints across the country. this change will begin over the next few days, a bid to stop the spread of the coronavirus by the agency. the administrator's statement to the agency making the move because social distancing cannot always be maintained. passengers are encouraged to wear masks as well but may be asked to lower the masks during

the checkpoint if the alarm goes off when you go through. expect other changes in the next few days. most airlines require facial coverings for their passengers, restrictions on travel from europe to the united states, a lot of questions when the will of travel restrictions in particular from europe to the united states but when will international travel get back up and running and that is a question for everyone. rob: and if they open it up. thank you, appreciate it. jillian: the fight for religious assembly in illinois after one passenger not only sued the state but defied orders about in person gatherings of 10 people after a federal judge ruled against him. >> they shouldn't have been having services at all except if they were in groups of 10 or less. we are not stopping you from praying or connecting with parishioners. what we are trying to stop is the spread of this invisible killer.

rob: joining us with his side of the story, the lead pastor of beloved church, stephen castle. appreciate it. you are putting lives at risk by doing this, what is your response? >> the government has a lot of accusations. i did not get into the ministry under any context, any problem or hurt or pain to any person ever. i literally made my life on the altar of the ministry so i could bring hope and help to people's lives. some of those accusations are just terrible to say that and insinuate that about a person's heart. jillian: here's a look at the map of states relaxing restrictions on churches and a number of them are in there including illinois. this is what judge lee said

about religious liberty, even the foundational right secured by the first amendment are not without limits, they are subject to restriction is necessary compelling government interest and certainly prevention of mass infections and disqualify. without life there can be no liberty or pursuit of happiness. your response to that in your community members? >> attorney general william barr said the first amendment, especially the first amendment is not suspended in times of crisis and our founding fathers deeply deeply believed in some of these core values. they were willing to lay their own lives, their own blood, their own fortunes at risk to protect some of these rights that are in alienable, given by god. it is criminal now for me to want to gather together with my church family, for me to want to come together to give hope to people, to give the gospel to people, think about just the context of the gospel, think

about this for a second. god was in heaven, personally isolated from all of mankind, totally safe, no sickness, no problems, god's solutions the problem was to send jesus into a pandemic world, a world filled with sickness, a world communicable by every single god's plan was to send all of that and rescue us and give us liberty. it was for freedom that christ came to set us free, liberty and freedom are some of the most important core values of all things gospel of all things church. for the government want to take those things away, it is breaking the backbone of what the gospel is about and that, i don't have a choice. i have got to fight this fight because generations to come are

in the balance. rob: a lot of resistance, thanks for giving us your perspective in this. jillian: thank you. rob: the philadelphia eagles having fun is the nfl unveils the schedule for the upcoming season. >> philadelphia eagles. >> what a journey. rob: the big matchups fans are not going to want to miss. jillian: covering mother's day with special messages from members of the fox news team. >> very happy mother's day to all the great moms out there including my own. now there's new powerwash dish spray. it's the faster way to clean as you go. just spray, wipe and rinse. it cleans grease five times faster. new dawn powerwash. spray, wipe, rinse.

carley: the tweet the left many saying there is something missing in his headline. cnbc posted a link to an article titled china gets top score as citizens rank the government's response the coronavirus outbreak but the article makes no mention of the scare tactics china's authoritarian regime uses on its citizens, tactics fox news has been reporting on like silencing mourners by paying them off, online censorship and police interrogation. many on social media took notice. casey says this is pure propaganda, why even posted, glenn shining it with who would have guessed a totalitarian regime would get high marks and twitter saying i saw the question how well did the chinese communist party respond to the virus, answer excellent, best in the world, cnbc points out 85% of chinese people believe their country will come

out of this crisis stronger compared to 41% of americans. jillian: ready for some football? carley: the nfl released its full schedule yesterday, kansas city chiefs will host the houston texans to kick off the season. a lot of teams posted these videos on twitter announcing the la chargers did something cool in their video. >> i'm a registered nurse. >> a driver. >> everything you have. >> thank you. >> $1,000 worth of groceries. >> thank you. jillian: jillian, your philadelphia eagles took a lighter approach.

intelligence transcripts cleared him. >> he was an innocent man targeted by the obama administration and targeted in order to take down the president, it is treason. i'm happy for general flynn. he was a great warrior. jillian: that is not all. now we know former president obama had knowledge of flynn's wiretapped phone calls. rob: dan bonkinoh, what is your initial reaction? >> you are not asking the question what did obama know and when did he know it, you're doing it wrong. people like me have written books on this and many others who researched this. and barack obama had a central role in it, we have infamous emails between fbi personnel

where they say notice wants to know everything we are doing, talk to you about obama, the white house is running this, another fbi text, if you're in the media you would have to be an idiot not to look into this, now we know based on the testimony of people in the room on january 5th, 2017, president obama is weeks from leaving office, knows about the phone call between general flynn, used as a pretext to frame it. how barack obama escaped me here is really stunning. you would think someone in the media regardless of partisan leanings would say this kind of sounds like a big scam. jillian: if you watch other channels you will hear a lot of critics saying michael flynn deeply guilty to lying to the fbi, you will hear that over and over and over. what is your responsibly critics

out there today? >> most of his critics never interviewed a bad guy like i did for 15 years in my life and federal law enforcement, the nypd, the liberal media folks, degrees in journalism, couldn't be cops if they hit them in the face. that's not how this works. what winds up happening in the federal system often especially in the case like michael flynn is you use leverage. even if they watch barney miller they can figure this out but they won't. you try to get something the person cares about, the bad guy, leverage it against them. in this case it is crystal clear they went after michael flynn junior, general flynn's son and told him if you don't plead we will go after your son and then hid that side deal with michael flynn's original attorney because they didn't want the court to know about it. some people in the media don't get that because they would let their kid probably go to jail rather than defend him like michael flynn did. rob: adam schiff is still

pointing to run stone -- roger stone, trying to get russia to hack the hillary emails, he still points to that is his defense for all of this. what do you say to that? >> it is fascinating because the russian lawyer who met with donald trump junior at trump tower was working with the team hired at hillary clinton so if they are interested in doing journalism which many of them aren't, you figure out that that russian lawyer was actually working with team hillary. i know facts are hard for people, i had a debate with a prominent left assess an event years ago who didn't even notice they were working with team hillary. your problem is donald trump junior met with the russian lawyer working with the hillary team, fusion gps, i want to be clear, if that is your defense you've got a real problem if that is the best you can do.

jillian: we could be seeing more of this and we will stay on top of it. in the meantime i want your opinion on this, a hot topic of conversation, there have been so many nurses and doctors and front-line workers across the country coming to new york which is the epicenter of coronavirus in the united states, to work tirelessly, 21 days straight. now there is talk that healthcare workers have to pay state taxes in new york from everything they earned. what is your opinion of this? >> this is really hard to believe, when the producers sent me this i had to read it twice. i heard about the story yesterday, having touched on it but think about it. you live in a blue state, i am from new york, i love new york, the greatest city on earth but i left, i choose to live in florida because i didn't want that kind of government interference in my life and pay

the taxes, you leave, go somewhere else, florida, wyoming, texas, wherever and go back to new york to assist in this incredible crisis where they did need help and then find out they are going to take your money for doing so and tax you for volunteering and then you find out new york is requesting a bailout from the federal government and this is the money they got so not only pay that, but you pay twice, new york taxes to your volunteer worker who tried to help them and then bail out your federal taxes, new york state residents who elected in people who couldn't control themselves with the state wallet. you read this story and want to scratch your head. we are living in bizarro superman land where everything is upside down. almost unfathomable to do this and get away with it, terrible pr strategy. rob: we are very jealous of your no income tax down there in florida, the smartest one in the room. >> come down any time. rob: thank you so much, appreciate it and we will be
