next week you get your wish, i'll be hosting the 8:00 show all week long. by the time i get to saturday i will, exhausted and wearing the same outfit, but i hope you will tune in because there is so much news to cover. keep the comments coming. we'll feature some of you on the show. email us at onenation@fox.com. monday, marco rubio, doug burgum, and according to my watch, lawrence jones is just about out of the shower, out of makeup and ready to walk into his show. , lawrence jones and cross country. i have got a date tonight.

lawrence: good evening, welcome to cross country. each week we address the issues facing everyday americans. much of that involves combating the so-called woke agenda. that's the progressive agenda. if you oppose those who embrace the woke, you are a racist or just a bigot. >> you say i'm anti-woke. i don't want people to blaj people to speak up for themselves. you should be on the side of people who are woke because we are say nothing morrow precious against our community. unless you are saying i'm racist, and bigoted, stop talking about woke.

lawrence: you are dead wrong. that was squad member cori bush. wokeness, being aware of the issues plaguing black america, i'm all on board. but that's not it. she wants all black americans to get in line with their progressive solution. i will give you a few examples tonight. let's talk education. the system has failed black kids. i'm confused why the congresswoman continues to pick teachers unions over over -- ovr school choice. how about the criminal justice system. why does she want to disarm black americans putting our lives in the hands of officials. then you have the many black

entrepreneurs who make it out of tough situations only to be crushed by toxic regulations and increased taxes so the left can provide handouts to others. the congresswoman is totally cool with that. but that doesn't seem to be too woke to me. here to join the conversation. stacy washington, and felicia cummings. i'm all about being woke in understanding the issues plaguing black america. but when they want to cross over and suggest things that aren't really woke in providing snriergs our community, -- providing solutions for our community, that's where they lose me. >> if they want to talk about wokeness, that's fine. we can talk about that phrase

and being aware of the injustices, oppression, policies that inflicted pain, hardship and oppression in black areas. that's perfectly fine. but let's talk about all the progressive policies that have been choke our communities. once we are able to have that conversation and we can keep it aboutit -- about conservatism ad progressivism. lawrence: they always find a way. and can burden black americans. >> 55% of black americans live in the suburbs. and tens of millions of black americans have taken advantage of our education system through the universal system level and are functioning upper middle

class americans. the idea that it's a blanket statement about what's impacting black americans it doesn't illustrate the reality. we can have policies to solve those problems without pivoting to you are a racist because you disagree. it has to do with the impacts we now see. we have seentd full-blown fruits of wokeness in those environments and it's bad fruit. it's rotten. saying you are racist because you don't like woke. it's more than that and has nothing to do with race. lawrence: in baltimore they have all the progressiveness in the education system and the kids can't read.

when you have kids graduating from school who are reading on a 4th and 5th grade level. sometimes kindergarten level. >> if we look at how black families in particular are starting to become more in alignment, bringing themselves into that kinds of empowerment, this is if you want to say, that's woke. wake up and saying we are going to take charge of our education. if progressives wants to hijack a terminology that came out of black culture because we wanted to fight against the racist policies, we'll take it there. >> final thoughts, stacy. >> i'm look at this from the perspective of being a mom.

cori bush is just 7 miles from here. we have seen zero improvements in her district. she has seen rapid expansion of her financial empire but the people are still suffering in her district. lawrence: in atlanta those who wants to reform the criminal justice system should be celebrating. but they are pushing back on a police training facility. they dubbed it cop city. aren't these the same people who said cops need better training? here to discuss, atlanta congressman michael bonds and melinda craig. the activists said for years part of the problem we have with police, they don't have the proper training.

now you have a first in the country, a facility that can provide officers with the training and resources they need, and they are against it. why? >> i think they have -- first thank you for having me on the show. i think that their approach is a conflated amount of issues around policing, or around these negative incidences that happened, that have been projected upon the city of atlanta constructing a new facility for police, fire and ems employees. our police facilities are very old and dilapidated. the police training center is 80 years old. because of property disputes with aps, the firemen used to train on some public school owned property. we no longer have access to

those properties. so our fire ems are literally being trained in a trailer. this a decades old advancing need for the city of atlanta and it has been caught up in a lot of the issues surrounding some of the police shootings, some of the deaths associated with policing over the last five or six years. lawrence: i try to take people at their word. i give you the benefit of the doubt when you say you want more training. but isn't it really about getting rid of cops? if you don't want the training facilities there, give them the proper training. you don't want them on the street. shouldn't we call it what it is? >> lawrence, i think you are exactly right. you scream on one and that you want us to be better trained.

we need to work with our community partners to help on these issues, now you have a state of the art facility. i would love to have that out here. we can all train together and be bert at our jobs and you have professional protesters or domestic terrorists, they love to loot, burn. anything. so something that's supposed to be good cannot happen. what do they want? they want to run amok and have no rules in society? like that's not going to happen. >> we have seen it, councilman. we have seen what happens when the rule of law is taken away from society. it's not good for atlanta. it's not good for any city in the country. >> i come out of the activist background. my parents were activists. i have been arrested for the

things i believed in when i was young and protesting. but this isn't about protests. this is about the city of atlanta taking care of our first responders and our employees. as elected officials we have a duty to listen to voices of dissent or disagreement. we listened for 14 hours monday. but at the same time, even though there were 300 people that spoke. there are half a million people in atlanta. they have been tested on to commit to build the training center was two years ago. what we voted on monday was the financing piece. we already made that commitment. lawrence: i'm up against a break. but it's the first duty of government to keep us all safe. thank you so much. up next, donald trump becoming the first former president to bf indictedf. by the federal

government. but how might these charges affect the next election. [narrator] why is aaron happy? well, carvana has tens of thousands of cars under $20,000. so aaron's folks could help hook him up with a new ride. we'll drive you happy at carvana.

jackie: welcome to fox news live. a federal indictment is not stopping donald trump's bid for

the white house. he spoke in north carolina and georgia today. at the rallies the former president slammed the charges and promised to fight what he calls the corrupt political establishment. meanwhile, ukraine's long anticipated counter offensive against russian forces is finally under way. president zelenskyy making that announcement today. the move comes as heavy fighting continues in the east and south. trudeau is pledging to send more financial aid to the war-torn nation. i'mi'm jackie ibanez. lawrence: former president trump faces 37 criminal charges.

his 2024 rivals are calling out the department obvious is for unprecedented charges and accusing the biden administration of take out the president's top rival. >> we are seeing the weaponization of the justice department against a political rival. >> we are in dangerous waters and it's because of joe biden. >> at the end of the day what people see is a sitting president and his -- oj going after -- his doj going after the leading rival. >> you are watching the executive branch trying to take out their political enemies because of the allegations against the biden family. lawrence: joining me paul

morrow, charlie hurt. paul, what do we need to know from are this indictment and particularly -- i know this is some legalese. but it goes back to discretion. i want to understand why they charge donald trump here and not charge hillary clinton or joe biden? >> i wish i had a better answer for you to that question. there appears to be something of a double standard here. if you look at the hillary clinton case because we know a lot more about those facts at this point. in her case, clinton destroyed documents. 0,000 emails. the famous bleachbit software. she actually destroyed evidence in an ongoing probe. then we had that unprecedented

strange moment when james comey, the head of the fbi came out and declined prosecution which is not even his role. it's supposed to be the attorney general. it's very glaring compared to what we saw today and the indictment that dropped, that the same standard does not seem to apply when it comes to donald trump. lawrence: if i could shift to the politics of this. i know some republicans got into this race just to keep it real because they anticipated this indictment. if he got indicted. who will be the golden child to save the party. republican voters are ticked off because of that, and it's like there has been a double-down. they are saying we want you guys to get in line with donald trump. >> that's the funny tightrope

walk a lot of these republicans have gotten into the race face right thousand. on the one hand, they want to be the alternative that's left standing in their minds. but in reality they also have to remember that as you saying with most republican voters look at donald trump. he's being persecuted because he's such an existential threat to the establishment of washington. and he has been for six years now. and this is why they are going after him. and it's interesting. all of these indictments to me prove exact hi the argument that -- exactly the argument trump made in 2016 for why he wanted to run in the first place, and make the argument why donald trump is running again. washington is such a cesspool of dishonesty and political

corruption where they use the most awesome powers of our government to go after political enemies to benefit people here in washington. and screw over normal american voters. i think regular people see through it. and it's not just republican voters. democrat and independent voters look at this and see the same thing. americans love an outlaw who is fighting for them. i think donald trump has cornered the market on that right now. lawrence: i'm not a lawyer. can the president still run with this indictment? >> he can. very clearly to charlie's point, the doj is signaling they want a speedy trial. that's a little bit of a tell. they want to get him convicted before the election. but i don't think that will happen. you have thorny legal issues that are unprecedented.

the indictment appears to indicate they pierced attorney-client privilege. he has classified documents he may or may not have had the ability to declassify. that takes time. but he can run for president from prison. lawrence: it all seems so dirty. but we'll be following it because that's our job. coming up, artificial intelligence being used to bring murder victims back from the dead. it's even creepier than it sound. we'll have the details after the break.

lawrence: a new trend popping up on social media. artificial intelligence is deepfake videos of murder victims. they don't seem to care what new pain they may be causing these grieving families. this is one of the latest ways ai is being used on the internet. joining me, morgan wright.

thanks for joining the program. i don't understand the motive behind this. is this just to inflict pain or is there some sort of meaning behind this? >> this is a topic i think that needs to be discussed. these people have no respect for the victims. they are doing it because they are profiting off the misery of others. if you have seen the things that can happen to people whether accidental, homicide or suicide. these people are doing it because people living vicariously through the misery of others drives clicks which drives revenue. there are some folks out there telling great stories, but for some of them all it's about is clicks that drive revenues. lawrence: is this technology for

investigate jars to recreate a crime sane and these guys hijacked it? >> years ago they would have 3d animation programs that can recreate crime scenes. this is the ability for you. i can teach you in five minutes how to create a deepfake video. you don't have to have the skills anymore. they are harnessing what we are using for defending against cyber attacks or what the military uses. so they are hijacking it for their purpose and at the end of the day they profit off the misery of others. the more viewers they get the more eyeballs they get the more money they make. lawrence: the more in various acts that happen that ai will be regulated as a result of this?

because it is costing money. i am not for a lot of regulations, but this may pop up because of instances like this and others. >> there are laws on the books. once ai came out, if you create deepfake images of child pornography, those things are prosecutable. these go through litigation first, then regulation, somebody will attempt to regulate it. but then it will go to legislation. somebody will pass a law around it to define that thing. any time the government gets involved in setting rules an' regulations.re regulations. we don't want the politicians getting involved in technology. but a locat of these folks don't have the self-discipline to self-regulate. they will cause the u.s.

government or state governments to intervene and set rules nobody is going to like. lawrence: thank you. appreciate it. the investigation into thee yo baltimore school district. how the district continues to let down ourr our collect. that's next. rsv is a contagious virus that usually causes mild symptoms but can cause more severe infections that may lead to hospitalizations... ...in adults 60 and older... ...and adults with certain underlying conditions, like copd, asthma, or congestive heart failure. talk to your doctor and visit cutshortrsv.com. many holocaust survivors are impoverished and suffering today in their final years. at this holocaust museum in israel, you see the names; the faces, of jews that were brutally murdered. this great cloud of witnesses cries out to us "comfort, comfort my people."

proficient in math. the governor said education is a top priority back in february. >> we made the largest investment in public education by any governor in our state's history. the duty to make maryland's public schools the best in the nation. lawrence: the baltimore public school system is among the most funded in the nation. the fourth highest to be exact. last year the school's budget increased 16%. but enrollment has been plummeting for years. you would think more money, better education, right? >> more money does not equal quality education. lawrence: that's yolanda, her children are enrolled in baltimore city schools. the crime crisis plaguing the

city and the schools, she is terrified to send her children there every day. home schooling in baltimore, that's not an option for everyone. nor is it covered. let's start with a former baltimore teach more finally had enough. you taught in baltimore for 10 years. what made you decide to leave. >> students were coming to me in 6th grade on second grade reading levels. lawrence: did they encourage the educators to pass them along even though they aren't prepared for the next level? >> when i was an educator a child could only be held back one time in their academic career.

i want you to talk about the violence in the schools. what is that like? >> beating other student up, i feel so bad, but it's time to get involved. i have to follow protocols. but in the meantime someone's child is getting beaten. lawrence: do you have children there? >> i do. lawrence: would you send them to baltimore schools? >> no. lawrence: are the taxpayers in baltimore getting the return on their investment? >> i can't say we are. if we look around our schools and community, if we look at the numbers, they are not lying to us. our students and our schools need some help. lawrence: the number of home schooled students has spiked

from 27,000 in 2019 to nearly 45,000 in 2022. i spoke with three baltimore city parents. >> i have been here my whole life. i'm a product of baltimore city schools. my mother was a product of baltimore schools. under different administrations we have seen the same results of parents failing. and unfortunately parents can't teach their children how to read if they can't read. lawrence: you successfully home schooled children, but there is a growing movement of parents who want to home school their children. >> these parents were pulling their kids out of school in a panic situation. they all had different boiling points of what was the last

straw. i put together their curriculums based onion line free resources and going to the public library. what has been developed today is more of a housing program to put the kids in a space for 8 hours every day and give them busy work so both of the parents can work. home school is something you can do as working parents because you don't have all the busy work. lawrence:out homicide is up --out h homicide is up from last year. yolanda, what's on your minds? >> frustration. we have too many people making these decisions on education, crime and homelessness that never felt the struggle. they took 9-15 guns out of one

school in baltimore. sow children can learn if they are not safe. it's bad enough the education system is failing them. now we have crime on top of that. nobody is monitoring anything. lawrence: baltimore education is the fourth largest in the country. >> the superintendent gets paid more money than the president. we are at $1.62 billion budget. they can't educate. they can't bring a school book home and you can't keep a child safe. >> the last i heard it was $16,000 to educate a baltimore city student. you can educate a home schooler for $2,000. >> after all these years that they have put the scores,

replaced them with asterisks. what are we hiding? >> when i was in school they taught us how to balance a checkbook. certain things feel intentional. they protect the institution, not the children. not the parents. everybody is walking around patting everybody on the back for you a failed school system? they are closing down schools at a massive rate. why is it 40 or 50 children in one classroom with one teacher. >> we have gone down to a fraction of what it used to be. jobs have left. people have left. and we need people coming in. and people are afraid. >> this is educational homicide at this point. lawrence: we reached out to the

baltimore city public schools for comment but we did not hear back. and one thing i learned bg a firefighter is plan ahead. you don't know what you're getting into, but at the end of the day, you know you have a team behind you that can help you. not having to worry about the future makes it possible to make the present as best as it can be for everybody.

lawrence: america's shoplifting problem has gotten so bad that one walgreens in chicago

redesigned their entire store, taking extreme measures to protect the products from thieves. it only has two hours open for browsing. everything is locked up out of sight. people have to place an ordinary i shall beforehand and pay for them ahead of time. as we see more videos like this one, my question is where does it end and who will ends up paying for this mess? lydia, you cover business for a living, you know what these stores are going through. are we going to be paying for this in the long run? >> you bet. anything that will cut into the bottom line of a business, whether they want to admit it, that's where they are getting their money to cover this loss. we are seeing this happen not just in chicago, we live in new york city, we know this is

happening on every pharmacy on every corn. every day products that are being locked up. food products within ray zoards, detergents. i know you have such a good heart. a lot of people might think, inflation is out of control and people cannot afford to feed themselves. this is not the every day person stealing a loaf of bread to feed themselves. this is organized retail crime. these are theft rings operating in coordinated fashion and target products they can resell on the black market. south's profitable for them. you just mentioned a $100 billion problem. that's up from the previous year when it was $90 billion. in the past we heard big-name companies talking about this. best buy, lowes.

they all about about shrink. when you see inventory go missing. but really it's been stolen. take this, for example. target just reported that shrink this year will cost them $500 million more than it did last year. they said in a statement, quote, while there are many potential sources of inventory shrink, retail crime are increasingly important drivers of the issue. we are making significant investment and strategies to protect this from happening in our stores and protect our guests and our team. we are also focusing on managing the financial impact on our business so we can continue to keep our stores open. open. so that's how big of an issue it is. these businesses are thinking we have to keep our businesses open

to people to keep shopping. they are saying we'll just close the doors because we can't afford it. >> businesses don't often say it's because of crime. but you have got to read the tea leaves. walmart closed half of its stores in the city of chicago. four of them. they put out a statement that said essentially they were not profitable. they said some of their chicago stores that have been open for 17 years had been losing tens of millions of dollars a year and have doubled in the past five years. it's true, but you talk to the local folks in the community, they say crime is a problem and taxes are a problem there as well. lawrence: former home depot ceo mr. bob dardinelli.

you are warning this is an epidemic. >> many of the facts lydia shared already are spot-on. the hundred billion dollars she referenced, the national retail federation identified that 26% of that is the result of organized crime. when i was fortunate enough to be working at home depot we had shrink. shrink was more of broken items, lightbulbs that might be crushed. something fell off the shelf. we received it broken. it was legitimate shrink. today it's the polite word for theft and robbery. a lot of the retail associates are scared to go to work. we saw just here in atlanta where two employees were fired

because they tried to discounsel two or three individual from stealing $7,000 worth of merchandise. walk in and grab and dash. so that's number one. number two, you talked about the data. the real reason is because we have a lawless society. when i was running home depot it wasn't legal to steal $1,000 with no consequences. we told individuals you can take up to $1,000 and there will be no consequences. that was not the case back in the 2000s. the $500 million target talked about passes on to you and i. when people say that's what we have understand for. that cost of increased understand passes on to the consumer. we are paying for this lawless society for people to grab and

dash and try to resell them on the open market. this is an epidemic. we are facing a multitude of uncertainty at the retail level from grocery to fine goods and services. >> we have allowed this, we allowed people to have the streets and we have to stop it. coming up, out of this world video this week. you don't want to miss it. providing for your family is a top priority. but what happens when you need affordable health care? christian health care ministries could save you up to 40% today. as a member, you can choose your provider without network restrictions. sign up at your convenience with our anytime enrollment.

i mean universe is pretty good but i think -- >> me too. >> i don't know. [laughter] >> you don't believe at all? >> that's stupid. >> i feel it is narcissistic to think we're the only planet with life on it. the government is hiding. do you believe the government is hiding. hiding and lying don't believe them they're lying to you. >> got to. they do. on twitter i saw yesterday they crashed into someone's backyard. i don't know about alien. but ufo -- for sure. who is driving ufo's then? >> that's a good point. >> they don't look how people say hay do. >> a big guy with big head and bright eyes. aliens they're 8 feet tall. >> they look like something crazy but i feel they might look like us a little bit.

i don't know. maybe we're the aliens. [laughter] >> and they're the normal people. >> joining me now former navy pilot ryan graves has his own experience with unidentified flying objects sir thank you so much for joining the program look i know people to the joke about this but there's incredible claims about this. you have your own experience sir. >> even today i'm still contacted by pilots on a pretty regular basis who are seeing this consistently during their flight over the united states over the pacific over the atlantic. so for aviators this is a pretty much a present daily a car insurance that they're witnessing. >> so lieutenant, i guess my question is and one guy i spoke to on street today says that he believes that the government knows this to be true. but they don't feel like we're ready to hear something like this. do you feel like truth is somewhere in the middle? >> i can't comment on whether we're ready or not necessarily.

but some of the whistle-blower legislation that was passed in the last national defense act of 2023 explicitly called out whistle-blower protections for those night have been involved in programs that have been hissen by the government. that was a purpose of that legislation. we're seeing the results of some of that legislation now. and my organization americans for safe arrow space with we're joap doors looking for any wimbledons like come forward and take advantage those congressional or department of defense whistle-blower legislations. lawrence: are we talk about about unidentified items or that and the aliens? >> you know, there's no real aliens in this conversation here there's octobers that are flying around that are may behaving ins that we don't understand how they perform. they are performing with characteristics that are maneuverable and we don't have

data to make conclusion and if anyone is telling you otherwise it is premature but right now we need to figure out how and how to detect them and then conclusion where they are from? >> who can answer these questions the congress or department of defense or the president? >> i don't think we should necessarily look to government to waits for a particular answer for one of these organization. i think we as people need to hold our government accountable and people go to safe arrow space governments and show your government that you kaish this issue but then we as a public we have to engage specialty that we have. the engineering organizations, national science foundation, other piece of our apparatus that we can use to understand this in a way that's public and doesn't come from military sensors first because if that's the way we elect a approach a problem we're all going to be hit with classification issues. lawrence: i'm nots sure if there's something floating or some species floating but i

don't know either so i like asking the questions thank you for joining the program lieutenant and back here live next saturdaying night live join us on social media lawrence b. jones or lj cross country set your dvr so you never miss a show and don't forget to text me below. good night america. ♪ ♪ >> hey guys happy saturday. and welcome to fox news saturday night. this week we saw a bunch of people two used to be closed going at each other's throats donald trump former vp mike pence and christie announce they were running against legislation and led to bars that led t
