russia is targeting the u.s. while strengthening ties with china. lead u.s. hostage negotiator is here to weigh in coming up. >> sandra: we begin, however, with the breaking details in the historic indictment of the former president. hello and welcome, everyone. sandra smith in new york. john, a good friday to you. >> john: and you as well. the news never quits, does it? i'm john roberts in washington. this is "america reports." a manhattan grand jury sending shock waves through the country. >> sandra: after they voted to indict former president trump relating to the alleged hush money payments made in the run-up to the 2016 election. marks the first time a former president has ever faced criminal charges. >> john: a source saying fox is expected to be arraigned next tuesday at 2:15 in the

afternoon. he will not be placed in handcuffs after an agreement struck between alvin bragg and trump attorneys. >> sandra: bryan is live outside the courthouse here in lower manhattan. how is local law enforcement preparing for the arraignment next week? >> sandra, good afternoon. we are told law enforcement, fbi, secret service, new york state, nypd, are meeting at one m -- 1:00 p.m. to discuss logistics before the arraignment on tuesday afternoon. today, a bit of a media circus, barricades as well as nypd officers. we are told every nypd officer citywide has been ordered to be dressed in full uniform and ready to be deployed as soon as they are called. as far as what to expect on

tuesday, trump will arrive at the courthouse around 2:15 p.m., we are told, but not a public arrival or perp walk in front of cameras. trump will make his way into criminal court, processed, presumably fingerprinted and mug shot taken. trump will then be brought into a courtroom the same building the judge will read charges before pleading not guilty and released on his own reco recognizance. >> they declined to tell us about the contents of the indictment until it's sealed, we have read leaks that seem to happen everyday, people say there are multiple counts, but all relates the same allegation, resolution of a civil case, a civil settlement regarding the stormy daniels episode, if you will. >> this morning bragg's office

declined attempts by jim jordan to testify and provide documents related to trump's indictment, he calls a political witch hunt. bragg's office writing in part we urge you to refrain from these inflammatory accusations, withdraw your demand for information and let the criminal justice process proceed without unlawful political interference. republicans and trump are accusing d.a. bragg, of course, of his own election interference. sandra. >> sandra: in lower manhattan, bryan, thank you very much. >> john: new york to palm beach, florida, and how former president trump is responding to the unprecedented indictment. jonathan serrie is live outside trump's home at mar-a-lago. when is the former president expected to travel back to new york? >> well, as you can see, a lot of people outside of mar-a-lago wanting to know exactly that, and certainly be watching on tuesday. that's when a source tells fox news that the former president will be arraigned, 2:15 in the

afternoon, and sources also telling fox news that he plans to turn himself in, that he's made arrangement with the d.a.'s office to do this without handcuffs, that had been topic of discussion and speculation the days leading up to the announcement of this indictment. today mr. trump took to his truth social platform to criticize the presiding judge, he writes the judge assigned to my witch hunt case, a case never been charged before, hates me. president biden is staying silent on the indictment against his predecessor, no comment for reporters repeated questions about the issue. take a listen. >> mr. president, do you think that the charges against trump are politically motivated? >> no comment on trump. >> on the causeway leading up to former president trump's mar-a-lago resort here in florida, a large construction project has limited parking for

protestors, but around the clock small groups of people come and go, most of them supporting the former president. >> if we don't stand up for what's right, we are no better than venezuela, no better than cuba, no better than afghanistan or any of these countries in which, or china for that matter. so, i'm here as an american, and i support our democracy. >> florida governor desantis is criticizing the indictment, took to twitter saying the weaponization of the legal system for a political agenda turns the rule of law on its head. >> john: jonathan serrie, thank you so much. more on this coming up, and also talk with vivek ramaswamy and ask him as a candidate what he thinks of a fellow candidate being indicted. >> sandra: he was one of the first with reaction last night when we had the news. we look forward to hearing from him a short time from now. martha and bret are also coming

up as our coverage continues here on the fox news channel leading into next week. >> john: looking forward to all that. president biden is calling on russia to release the wall street journal correspondent arrested for espionage in moscow. detention of the american journalist is the first since the cold war and marks another diplomatic flash point for the u.s. and russia. robert o'brien is a former national security adviser to president trump, he will join us on that in just a moment. he's got a long and storied history of getting hostages out of hostile places. begin with greg palkot, and greg, what more do we know about evan gershkovich's status at this point? >> sadly, john, we don't know a whole lot more about his status. he is now in his third day of captivity with russian authorities. 31-year-old american wall street journal reporter was arrested wednesday by the fsb intelligence agency on assignment in a city, 800 miles to the east of moscow.

thursday he was brought to a court where he was charged with espionage, carries up to 20-year sentence and taken away to pretrial detention. it's reported he is now at a prison in moscow. it's a tough one for political prisoners and others, marine veteran paul whalen, also held by the russian, has spent time. the wall street journal denies the charges, condemns the detention and more saying in a strong editorial today, thuggish leaders keep doing thuggish things if they think they will pay no price. biden administration will have to consider diplomatic and political escalation. they suggest vladimir putin's government might have seized gershkovich in response to charges the u.s. has pressed against a russian national just last week, perhaps seeking a prisoner swap or that putin might have been angry about a tough article gershkovich wrote about the russian economy this week. one thing is for sure, john, as the war in ukraine rages,

putin's isolation grows and the job of covering him and what is happening in russia just got a whole lot more dangerous, and yes, the u.s. also dealing with another dangerous rival, too, china. beijing also threatening tough counter measures due to the visit by taiwan's president, she came to new york, she's going to los angeles and next week reported to be meeting with house speaker kevin mccarthy. dangerous and tricky times, all signs of the world. back to you. >> john: dangerous world we live in, no question about that. greg, thank you. sandra. >> sandra: robert o'brien, former national security adviser to former president trump, and hostage negotiator. you first, we would want to know how do you get him out of there? >> well, first thing i would say, americans need to understand don't go to russia. i don't care if you are a

journalist, a missionary, priest or reporter, don't go to russia. it's too dangerous. they have shown like the iranians, the chinese, they'll take americans hostage and so americans need to pay attention to the state department even if they think they are working for a wall street journal or fox or a big news agency, that's not enough to protect you from vladimir putin. number two, i think putin is probably looking for a prisoner exchange. i assume that's what he wants, and he demonstrated he could get that with britteny griner and so i assume he's trying to set this up for something he wants, whether it's a prisoner exchange or policy concession he believes by taking an american, in this case evan, he may try and claim he's a dual citizen, his parents came from the soviet union. i think he's an american, not born there, but putin said because his parents were russian

he's russian, so less protection. >> how do you send a message to vladimir putin, to russia, this is unacceptable and hold them responsible? >> well, look, what i've said from the start with the ukraine situation and larry kudlow and i talked about this on his show before the invasion, we have to put full sanctions on russia. they are allowed to do oil and gas purchases and sales, allowed to sell commodities and farm products, so we need to up the level of sanctions on the russians because of this action but also because of ukraine. and again, we have to tell our american citizens there's not a lot we can do. russia has nuclear weapons, we can't send a seal team in, he's in a notorious prison in moscow, it's a dangerous place, don't go. >> sandra: we hear from the white house they condemn the action, we'll see what they intend to do next.

meanwhile, what we heard from the white house yesterday through karine jean-pierre, answering a question about evan possibly answering a question and working for the u.s. government. >> did you say gershkovich never worked for and does not work for the united states government? >> well, i just said the charge of espionage is ridiculous. this is something russia has done all the time, many times before, right. >> answer the question, has he ever worked for the united states government or does he in any form, even put it to bed? >> what i can say the charges against him are ridiculous, we have been very clear about that. i'm not going to get into more specifics. >> sandra: curious your take away from that. was that a gift to vladimir putin? >> well, probably -- again, we don't know if he did work for the u.s. government or working for the u.s. government, it's a different category. they may have not had it in the briefing book and did not want to answer, and sometimes if she

does not have the answer in front of her she cannot answer it. it's not a blame on her, a lot of tough and varied questions, she may not have known. but the way he answered it, if he's not a u.s. gft employee, she did not do evan any favors and they need to get the message right, and maybe admiral kirby should have been taking those questions and not karine jean-pierre. >> sandra: got it. robert o'brien, we will follow every minute of this. thank you very much for joining us. >> great to see you. >> john: artificial intelligence, developers warning about the dangers of the rapidly developing technology as concerns grow that the government is not doing enough to address concerns. but should the feds get involved or is it up to the private sector to keep americans safe? 2024 presidential candidate and entrepreneur vivek ramaswamy weighs in. plus this. >> was gwyneth paltrow at fault,

>> sandra: president biden right now is in rolling fork, mississippi, getting an update on the ground there on the response and recovery efforts after several massive today's ripped a path of deadly destruction across that state last week. fox weather now reporting that some areas could be hit again today with possible tornadoes, destructive wind gusts, and large hail, all significant threats across 20 states from this afternoon into the overnight hours.

meanwhile, you can do your part to help. fox corporation is proud to be a member of the red cross annual disaster relief program. the company has donated $1 million to help on the ground in mississippi and other southern states. and you can join us by donating right now at redcross.org/fox forward. >> john: president biden was supposed to meet with the science and technology advisers amid growing concerns over the rapid explosion of artificial intelligence programs and the possible dangers connected with them. that meeting has been rescheduled for next week. meanwhile, china is moving full speed ahead to develop a.i., pushing the envelope to compete with the united states. joining us now is republican presidential candidate vivek ramaswamy to talk more about this. you are a presidential candidate, only 1 of 3 declared on the republican side, one indicted last night. >> it would be convenient for

many running against donald trump if i were compromise the or not in the race but speaking as an american saying this is a national disaster. we should not live in a country where the party in power uses police power to arrest political opponents and especially in a prosecution that is as politicized as this one. alvin bragg made a campaign promise to investigate trump. he is delivering on a campaign promise. charging something as a felony through an untested legal theory tying it to a federal law he's not responsible for enforcing, an example of politicized persecution through prosecution and the thing i fear as an american, this is about defending the principles of this country, because if they can do it to trump, they can do it to anybody and i think this is dark day, dark moment in american history i'm worried about. >> john: do you think it helps or hurts the campaign? >> i haven't thought about that, but on first principle as an american, yes we all want to run and occupy the white house but

want to do it because we want to protect the principles on which this country was founded and this is a step in the wrong direction. >> john: and a.i., you said it's a mistake to play god one fettered a.i. and seen this movie before in game -- gain of function research. tech c.e.o.s are urging a six-month pause in a.i. do you think china will agree to that? or full steam ahead? >> full steam ahead. get the west to apply constraints to itself, say emissions caps, without applying the same constraints to china. my view, unlike in the carbon debate, i'm actually a big believer we abandon the climate cult in this country. in this case the problem under threats posed by a.i. could be very real, so i agree with the

tech founders who signed the letter pointing out the problem but i don't think the solution is for the united states to take steps unless china and others are marching to the same beat, say in the nuclear arms treaties, right answer is not for the united states to do it when china is unwilling to do the same. >> john: one of the big things you've been fighting against in the personal life and central plank of your presidential campaign is wokism. there is the book, "woke inc." some republicans have a difficult time defining wokism. >> wokeness basically says you are in part, race, gender, sexual orientation the day you were born, and either an oppress sore category or oppressed category. agree or not, that's what even the proponents of wokeness would say. i'm against it because i think that's inherently divisive and

guts the shared american identity that we all share in common, regardless of whether we are black, white or brown. one of the things i try to do as an american and a critic of wokeness, understand the best arguments, articulate them before they tear it down and offer a better alternative, that's what i'm on the mission to do. >> john: a snapshot of where the campaign is, donald trump leads the pack with 54%, ron desantis 24%. you are down in a cluster of candidates at 1% along with mike pompeo, chris christie, and others better known than you are. you did increase from asterisk to 1%. >> and quinnipiac we were at 2. i'm about exactly where trump was when he came down the escalator in june of 2015. a steady climb but i think pretty soon it's going to come

down to, i think the republican base is hunger for an outsider. and a correct hunger. if you want to dismantle the administrative state, core part of my agenda, and trump was focused on, you need an outsider to do it. a professional politician cannot get the job done. so the fall, a race between the outsiders, nonprofessional politicians and history will teach us it's what happens after the first debates things change. my message for the country, look, i'm going to take the trump agenda even further to put america first and do it from a strong moral foundation as reagan did to help us rediscover. >> john: i don't know what the criteria is for the debate, but big target to be on the debate stage. >> i'm looking forward to it. good for the country and party.

>> sandra: former president trump set to be formally charged in new york next week. could the other legal probes involved pose a greater risk for him? >> john: schools forced to get the latest booster shot, despite the w.h.o. saying healthy kids can skip the shot. why are officials seemingly ignoring the new guidance. >> vaccines should be prioritized for the vulnerable. there is not strong public health scientific rationale between broad vaccination among individuals that are not vulnerable. ...designed smarter. like a smart coffee grinder - that orders fresh beans for you. oh, genius! for more breakthroughs like that... ...i need a breakthrough card... like ours! with 2.5% cash back on purchases of $5,000 or more... plus unlimited 2% cash back on all other purchases! and with greater spending potential,

criminal probes with the doj special counsel investigating him for election interference and his classified -- handling of classified documents. while a d.a. in georgia is probing his alleged efforts to reverse the 2020 election results in the peach state. bring in martha, great to have you here. >> great to be here, sandra. >> sandra: what do we need to know about the other probes. >> martha: so much focus on this one, by most legal expert standards the weakest of all the cases and in the people involved in the other cases are wondering in many ways why this one decided to move forward when it appears to have been a weak case, and as we keep saying we have not seen it yet, it's not unsealed, we don't know exactly what's in there but pretty good sense of what they have been looking at in terms of the stormy daniels case. but jack smith, special counsel overseeing the ones you put on the screen, the mar-a-lago raid

classified documents, the january 6th and the election, all falls under that category. and then you've got georgia, goes back to we need to find 11,000 votes investigation, that's going on too. and as i pointed out too, all of this is going to unfold over the next like 8 to 10 months. what else is happening then, the run-up to the 2024 election, so while we are having debates, having town halls, having all these things, you'll have juries meeting and deciding on the huge cases, it's a surreal environment. >> sandra: it's a lot. trey joined us last night on "the five" and also on this program this week, and on the hush money case against the former president the weakest of them all. >> my concern is a former prosecutor, you are supposed to lead with your best set of facts, your best case. this to me is the weakest of the four investigations the president is facing. it is the wrong prosecutor

bringing the wrong case. >> sandra: fast forward to next week, martha, and take us through what it's going to look like. so far logistics are concerned on the arraignment, it's scheduled for tuesday, 2:15 p.m. eastern time. we are told that he will not be cuffed. the u.s. secret service, ultimately up to them to determine how he's brought into the court. there is multiple street closures expected, in fact, martha, a live shot that's already happening. what is next week going to look out? >> when i see the lower third on the screen, trump will not be in handcuffs, if you have missed yesterday you are going what is going on exactly? and one of the things i would point out, you laid out what we think will happen. i'm told there's no sort of underground entrance to this building, someone else say there might be an area to get through. i know they brought john gotti

across the sidewalk and into the building, another high profile case. i'm assuming president trump would not shy away from the cameras, he generally doesn't, as much as he does not want to see it play out. but trey made great points with you last night and we'll talk to him in the 3 o'clock hour. strikes me the political undertones are so strong it wounds the country in such a big way and if you are going to bring a case against a former president, the first time ever in history, you want it to be unassailable, you want it to be airtight, confidence in the need to do it and i think that all of those things are not where the country is seeing the situation right now. everybody is taking their political bites wherever they can but this is a big deal and i think it's -- we'll see when this is unsealed, if it's stronger than trey seems to think, but really it should have been brought in a situation

where everybody would say look, there was -- it was unavoidable, no other choice, and that is not how this feels. >> sandra: peter doocy had a moment this morning, able to fire off a question to the current president. listen. >> mr. president, do you think that the charges against trump are politically motivated? >> i have no comment on trump. >> heard from the president earlier on the south lawn before taking off for this trip to mississippi. look, we are just nothe sound b comment from the white house, no comment from the president. i don't know, do we hearm them weekend, ahead of 2:15 p.m. tuesday, or do you think they stay silent on the matter? >> i kind of doubt it. i think cooler heads would suggest that until this is unsealed they should probably not have a comment on this. we have watched what's happening with the prosecutors across the country that makes everyone feel

very unsettled about how some of these decisions are reached, and i think it does come from the top. there was an opportunity for the president to not want this process to move forward and t make it clear that he thought that maybe on this charge this is inappropriate, that moment appears to have passed. i would not expect anything from the white house until at least after it's unsealed. >> sandra: very interesting, see you on your show, 3:00 eastern time. >> john: a utah jury siding with gwyneth paltrow rejecting claims she was to blame for a collision on a ski slope in 2016. jeff paul has an update, and how are both sides reacting to the jury's decision? >> well, yeah, only took them a few hours to make up their minds after eight days of testimony and as you watched the moment the verdict was read, pay attention to both the reaction from paltrow and the man who tried suing her, terry sanderson. >> what percent of the fault do you assign to terry sanderson?

100%. damages, what amount fairly compensates gwyneth paltrow for economic damages. $1. >> shortly after leaving the utah courtroom, she wrote this on instagram, i felt that the false claim compromised my integrity. i appreciate the outcome and the hard work of the judge and the jury. she was adamant that sanderson was at fault, not her. he tried suing her for $300,000. spoke briefly. >> gwyneth has always had a history of advocating for what she believes in this -- believes in and the statement was no different. and she will continue to stand up for what is right.

>> credibility of a famous person. who wants to take on a celebrity. >> as paltrow left the courtroom, she touched sanderson's shoulder and reportedly told him "i wish you well" to which sanderson replied, thank you, dear. the jury awarded paltrow the symbolic $1 she was seeking. a judge will decide whether or not that will also include her legal fees. john. >> yeah, in which case that dollar could be magnified several thousand times, or several tens of thousands of times. jeff paul for the latest on that. jeff. what did you think of the outcome, sandra? >> sandra: it's interesting, i was chatting with martha off camera about. it everybody has their take on this, and said to martha, you ski enough, you are almost all near a collision, especially here in the slopes in this neck of the woods, tight at times. i don't know.

i think there is some really interesting moments in the way she handled that trial, and how he did, and i don't know what happened. >> john: i appreciate people who can ski in upstate new york, kind of like skating downhill, very icy. >> sandra: sorry, alex was in my here. talking about skiing in new england, absolutely. >> john: like skating downhill. the slopes are ice for the most part. >> sandra: it is, and the snowboarder plow it down further, becomes an ice rink. >> john: was alex weighing in on the trial? >> sandra: time cue. it's time for the tease. new fbi documents shedding light on the las vegas gunman shedding light on the worse mass shooting in history. and what may have caused the shooter to kill 60 people at a music festival and injure

or entering the you state. but if you crossed in between ports of entry you are turned back. that law has since been tightened up so either at a port of entry or between, caught entering the country illegally, you'll get turned back. you expect that will have much effect on cross border traffic? >> it simply depends on how many people are crossing the border illegally and detected and apprehended. if a tree falls in the forest and nobody is around does it make a sense? and if they are not detected, did they cross illegally? there are way too many people and ways to cross the border into the united states without being detected. we have intelligence that shows that people have been crossing the border for many years without being detected. so, that's the problem that we face. we just don't have the resources and when -- when agents on the canadian border are dealing with the fallout from the southwest

border, that exacerbates the problem. we have to have the proper policies. we can stop the death, stop everything that is happening on the border if we have the proper policy and just don't have that right now. >> john: that whole area up there is wide open, you know, along the st. lawrence river. one side is canada the other side is new york state. and then on toward vermont and new hampshire as well where the separation is greater. but in between quebec and ontario, quebec and upstate new york, just good across the river in a canoe and you can enter either country illegally. we were showing some pictures of the road, illegal border crossing area unmanned and pretty much wide open until the new agreement between the u.s. and canada, they are told if they cross over they'll be

arrested and sent back. cross border illegal immigration in the swanton sector, the bulk from the united states to canada. 40,000 people last year crossed from the u.s. into canada. 3577 people crossed from canada into the united states. any way you look at it, the situation is far different than the southern border where the traffic really is just one way into the united states. >> well, and that's what's so frustrating to every single border patrol agent out there. this treaty came about, we had the long standing treaty at the port of entry, and now they expanded on the treaty to go between the ports of entry. but with you look at this, this is more beneficial to canada than the united states. canada was upset that so many people were crossing into their country illegally they pushed the united states for the treaty. why didn't we push for it a long time ago when it was one way into the united states. we just react all the time and that's what this administration does and that's what's so frustrating to us.

we can control it, we can control the border. this administration doesn't want to do it, rather it panders to another country rather than what's best for the american citizens. >> john: we'll likely find out more about the six folks who turned up dead in the days to come. good to talk to you. thanks as always, have a great weekend. >> sandra: new at 2:00, the far left ratchets up the fight on virginia college campuses days after the push to cancel governor youngkin's commencement speech at george mason. lieutenant governor winsome sears why it to hurt the trust in higher education. larry kudlow, jonna spilbor and bret baier in a new hour of "america reports." a family of long island brewers. harvests their own ingredients, on their own turf. there's a story in every piece of land. run with us on a john deere mower and start telling yours.
