Us we begin tonight right here in New York City. Where we see cops being shot on a daily basis, crime is rising, the subways are no longer safe. Assault or a common place, on your screen, youre looking at just a few of the recent examples of this violence. The scenes are difficult to watch. And far too often involve Innocent Bystanders and with that, i wanted to know what the people of New York City are feeling today i went out on the street just to find out. Watch. Do you feel safe in the city . Yeah. Absolutely. I think it is a day like today great to be Walking Around and be around peel outside. I dont feel unsafe Walking Around. Absolutely i think why i trust police force a lot and i think theres city back and rejuvenated i feel safe. Did you feel safe . The city . Yes. I do. Well ive not had any experience with crime. I think New York City is fairly safe and i just cant walk around being afraid. Always lights on. Theres police all over. Yes. I love new york. As a young woman, i definitely always am looking around at my surroundings but i think it is a thought oh it is 11 00 maybe i should take a certain way home. Incidence are safe. But i feel safe. Not around in the middle of the night maybe i might not feel as safe. But i do feel safe. I feel safe walking the street. Talking here, i think safe yeah. Currently yeah wipe my friends people who make me feel safe so as long as im not alone i feel safe. In New York City i do feel very safe. But i might not have the right perspective because i wasnt here when it was really bad in new york. When it was really bad. Wait just a minute just so we are clear and inspite of the cold hard facts on your screen look at the numbers overall cream transit crime shootings incidents, they feel like it is okay. I learn today that all of this has been accepted. Some of as if being normalized. I left that part beyond sun frankly i didnt expect those responses. But i wasnt only one. The former cops who were there to give me protection that day were left speechless. One even said this is why he retired. Especially when he heard this. Like i said man [bleep] happens people try cops are sometimes deserve it. But i understand theyre trying to protect as best they can but to an extent all cops are after like [bleep] it happens. Thats all i really got to say. I think it is important to Defund Police and invest in communities and thats whats happening and i dont feel im safe Walking Around five officers that have been shot in the last month two of them were tragically killed. What is driving that . Yonch whats driving it but it is terrible they lost their lives but i dont think two are necessarily related. Whatever is going on they want to defund the police and just so were clear all of those conversations that we were having that was everyone. That was everyone i couldnt find anyone who said crime was was high right now. The Vice President of the San Francisco Police Officerrings association lieutenant tracy mccray joins me with garden angel founder curtis before we get to this conversation, theres some breaking news tonight as we just learned that another Police Officer has been shot tonight in New York City. Short time ago an offduty koches shot in the foot, fortunately enough curtis hes in stable condition at this hour. Hes the 7th nypd officer shot already this year. Curtis ill start with you. What is your reaction to what were hearing on the street from new yorkers . Lawrence, ive got to attack you on the Curtis Underbelly Tosh of New York City. Because those those folks you were talking to they must have been taking some serious Exis Itecstasy and molld Drug Induced Psychosis made crazy are you kidding in the first month of the new mayor eric adams has been more crime in the first month than in the eight years of conrad Bill De Blasio who was hopelessly in a procriminal and anticop. Thats where they defund the mrs. And noble law came about. But understand, theyre accepting this. They hate the police. They are the acrolites of crazy cortez who wants to take 3 billion out of the Police Budget even after 7 Police Officers have been shot in one month alone. Two killed and by the way, was aoc at the wake of the funeral . Were these democratic justice warriors in congress did they attend funeral . Not on your life they hate the cops and it is evident in some of their constituents. Lawrence lieutenant the president of the United States made his way to New York City came today after we laid another officer to rest. So not just what you hear from the people on the streets, the president even had the decency to attend officers funeral. It starts right there. Right lieutenant . Well youre talking about respect. Respect for a profession and people who do that profession and it is not coming from the cop. You know, these two young officers rivera and mora lost their lives responding to a call to help someone. Which all of the people you were talking to theyre not going to that call. They dont want to do that is right they want to stay in their fancy land thaw live in instead of dwhieng is right trying to help people and then you end up losing your life and it is tragic. J lieutenant i want to stay with you for a second why do you keep putting on your badge every days own doing your job when you hear these types of comments . Because im not doing it for them. Im doing it for the people who are calling the police and there are a lot of people unfortunately calling the police for help. I do it for the people i work with because theyre part of my family and i know that they need me. So i still have the game. None of the people youre talking to none of the politicians, none of these woke actors, you know, none of them have skin in the game theyll be first ones calling us where someone is coming down on them asking for help so these people, you know, they dont hold account to believe any cop that i know that is out there actually working in these communities that need us. The black and brown communities that need us that have this violence happening, and no one outside of that Community Wants to help them. It is all lip service. Bug the day and day out people who go into these communities, theyre us. People like me, wearing this uniform going in there and trying to help these people have a better life. Lawrence so true curtis youre unified bringing communities together with the police. But it seems like theres a certain segment of the population by the way this is not jus new york but latest example curtis when i went out there when you look at the news you see shooting after shooting not jus when it comes to cops but citizens pushing them to subway and rapes, murders happening every single day so when youre trying to unify community with the police are you hearing outrage from the . Bl because i didnt hear not from one person today. Well, no, no. Not in the area you went i know because i live nearby there. And those are people who, obviously, have a disdain for the police. But when you move into the real neighborhoods what i call the hood where im gard i can angel patrol not just in new york but chitown, washington, d. C. , San Francisco, los angeles you find these people undersiege you know these progressive liberal it is theyre upset that prisoners are put in Solitary Confinement yet in these neighborhoods elderly people are forced to live in Solitary Confinement they have no freedom whatsoever their liberty has been taken we live in home of the brave, america, it is time to start acting brave and take our cities back and these elects officials you notice it is do as i say not as i do. They have Armed Security provided by their police departments, suvs paid by Sucker Taxpayers with Police Officers driving them from place to place. Strip them of their security details, let them feel what average people have to feel leak when they ride the subways walk the streets, and have to negotiate their way through the parkings. And then all of a sudden theyre not going to want to hug those thugs and turn them loose i guarantee you that. Some of them have Law Enforcement and not prieflt. I want you to respond this is suzanne, she posted this on twitter this is what fascism looks like abolish the police. She said this as the funeral was going on for the detective mora. Whats your reaction. Shes irrelevant to me and im not going to waste my time when these two officers are who we should be talking about. What they wanted to do what kind of career they wanted to have that is make changes in the community this they were going to be working in. So it is about them. It is not about some washed up actress of what she has to say what she posted. And this is the problem with social media, like mike said you think you just say anything and no one will punch you in the mouth and hit back. Well you know what youre irrelevant i dont care about you because youre not important rivera and mora nypd officers gave their life, theyre the ones who are important every man and woman who puts on this uniform, theyre important again no politician no dringt attorney, No Progressive District Attorney could do what we do. So they dont hold account to believe us so they can just wallow in that you are selfmiss reis and pity all they want but were the men and women going out and were doing this job. And nobody can tell us that were not doing what were supposed to do. Lawrence lieutenant, thank you seriously thank you from the Fox News Channel thank you for Cross Country theres a lot of american that appreciate you and theres a lot of cops that appreciate you coming on fox representing them.

This week is part of our journey together Cross Country i travel to massachusetts where i met a young woman who can coming forward to share her story on addiction and survival involved the deadliest drug in america today, and it is impacting americans in each and every state it is called fentanyl. Britney story began like so many other americans progression of addiction tonight she tellings that story in the hopes that it will save lives. Hi britney thanks for doing this. Tell me when was the first time you got high . I was 13 i started off with just weed actually. So thats how it started off. I didnt like it, though. I automatically got like a huge panic attack everybody was telling me run in circles told me it would get better so i did and i freaked out. And then when i was 14, i tried vicodin and this was in 2007 but i really liked how it made me feel but i had no idea what was going happen after that. Lawrence went from weed to pills and then you have your First Encounter with fentanyl. Yeah so i went to treatment when i was 18 years old for like xanax and opioids in general but when i got out i learn about all of the other drugs like iv ways to use it so 18 and a half to 19 thats when i started. I dont think i knew it was fentanyl in the beginning but as i was more into i knew that i was definitely injecting fentanyl. And that was good. Thats what i wanted. Lawrence today in America Overdoses have skyrocketed and kill more than Car Accidents last week greg abbott issued this warning to nation called out the president the leading cause of death of our fellow americans age 18 to 45 is fentanyl. And President Biden is doing nothing to address that fentanyl problem. Lawrence so youve been in some dangerous situations. Can you tell me a couple. Yeah. So when i was living in south florida, i went to a motel to get drugs because that was the normal thing to do for me. And i went up the stairs and i got tricked by a group of drug dealers. They told me they have them and they didnt have it and they locked the door so i had to make up a ply to get out of the room when i got out of the room i didnt realize they were actually ten or 15 of them they all came out from different sides of the hotel. Lawrence how did you get away . I just ran. I ran but they kept looking for me that was the problem. And i went to a wendys i had to ask manager to let me in so i could hide in the bathroom. Lawrence so you reach a Breaking Point what is the Breaking Point . The Breaking Point i was ten weeks pregnant with my first child and i overdosed. Lawrence what was that day like for you . I just knew that honestly i knew i was going to start feeling her kick soon and that scared me. Because then it was going to be real. Lawrence that was it for you. Why . I didnt want to do that to my own child. Lawrence that mattered to you. Yeah. Lawrence okay. Its okay. [crying] walk me through this. You feel that kick and your next move is i actually went to a clinic which i swore i would never do but i tried everything. I actually had to go on medication to come off of it lawrence what sort of medication . Methadone. Glans all of different programs believe that part of the way that you helped individuals concur this is giving them needles clean needling giving them tools to do or giving them smaller doses. What do you think about those dirchghts different programs is that really healthy . No i dont. Because i think it is it is just making it easier. Because if i didnt overdose when i was pregnant with my daughter i could go to a facility and shoot up i wouldnt have remember i said i was afraid i was beginning to die if i had a place like that why would i stop . Fentanyl is impacting every corner of the country on january 15th in neighboring Hartford Connecticut a Guy Overdosed in a school bathroom. Even more shocking, police have now reportedly found 100 bags of the powerful substance in his bedroom. Another gear people that are watching, someone who may be using right now and thats watching, if you had one thing tell them just one thing what would that one thing be . Keep fighting. Dont give up. Because might not have worked the last time but doesnt mean you cant get it you have to keep trying. But tomorrow might never come so youve got to do it now. Not plan it out. It is never going to be enough. Lawrence thank you so much. I appreciate it. Britney i know youre waving tonight it was an honor to meet you and i want you to thank you for having courage to talk about your journey. Britneys story is one of recovery and hope. She got a Second Chance. But for many people who Encounter Fentanyl theres no Second Chance it took only one encounter with this drug to end it all for my next guest 19yearold daughter. Tragically killed after being sold a pill laced with fentanyl. Matt thank you so much for joining me and im so sorry for loss of your daughter. Matt can you tell me a little bit about your daughter. Yeah thank you for having me. My daughter was 20 years old. My daughter was a very smart whitty funny intelligent young lady attending Arizona State university on a academic scholarship any daughter happened to also suffer from depression, anxiety, and insomnia, and i want to make this clear, that my daughter did not die from an overdose. My daughter purchased what she thought was oxycodone what she received happened to be a Counterfeit Pill made with a fatal dose of fentanyl. She took one pill and it killed her. This is murder. And we need to hold those accountable who are spreading this poison in our communities. You know matt i see why you make that a distinction because earliest story we talked about someone that britney who her journey through recovery she chose that journey she knew when it was laced with fentanyl at times and talks about that journey with me and theres people that simply dont know we saw michael k. Whoms is famous actor who sold fentanyl and they just arrested the four individuals that were connected with that. Matt has there been any headway on people that sold those drags your daughter . Two years to the week after my daughter died, the drug dealer was arrested. Hes being held on federal charges and is being held accountable for the death of my daughter. Lawrence matt i want to mention, if i could say real quick. In some of these very progressive and woke states such as california, and new york we do not have good laws for holding those accountable. Im very fortunate im one of the lucky few that was able to get the feds involved and to take over the case. We have much better federal laws to deal with these type of homicides. Unfortunately, many people are left to have their state laws deal with them. And the vast majority of deaths that are similar to my daughters those people will never see any justice and thats very unfortunate. Lawrence yeah. You know, matt, this is impacting everyone. But weve seen a recent up tick in young people. What diewpght do you want moms and dads to know if you have one thing tell them . You cant ever think not my kid. If you cant guarantee that your child wont try one thing one time, you cant guarantee that they wont be a victim of fentanyl. Theres no more no room for any experimental trial phase, you know when i grew up. You know, we all did stupid stuff. But you had opportunity to learn from those experiences and outgrow it. You cant these days. You can take one thing one time and it will kill you. Lawrence thats why were covering this story thank you our prayers with you and your family. Always thank you, sir. Thank you. Lawrence our investigation into americas Fentanyl Crisis continue next with a Law Enforcement expert that will share information about the deadly drug that could save lives you dont want to miss this. More on Cross Country. [winter wind noises] you wanna go out, walter . Lets go. Yeah mush, walter pace yourself. Whoa. Thats incredible. Oh yeah, its a Chevy Silverado trail boss. This things built for offroading right from the factory. No, i meant the cat. Its like nobodys seen a cat before. The Chevy Silverado trail boss. Find new friends. Find new roads. Chevrolet. Tolerance. Im Ashley Strohmier now back to lawrence Cross Country. Lawrence welcome bag to Cross Country thanks so much for being with us our exclusive investigation into americas Fentanyl Crisis continues with shocking information from my next guest. He has indepth knowledge about this pandemic that every american needs to hear and agent joins me now derrick, i have the opportunity to talk with you before the show theres so much information that you have on this crisis. But the most study is that when it comes to the ages that are being affected the number one cause of death for ages 18 to 45 is what, sir . Fentanyl right here in america, right in our backyards coming from mexican cartels chemicals from china but lawrence like every morning you get coffee right you get your sweetener, packs one gram, right you take one gram you put it in your hand this amount of fentanyl can kill 5 00 people right if you take a salt shaker right this is a thanksgiving salt shaker unfortunately many families couldnt enjoy thanksgiving with their kids because were losing 300 a day. You take a salt shaker you have i have one of grams all you need is four grams to kl an american and thats whats happening we have a Chemical Weapon Attack against country and nobody is taking it serious thank you for covering this story. Lawrence sir you talk about it coming from across the border how and where does this start and where does it end . Well, china has chemicals flowing into mexican cartels. They have corrupt Government Officials all over mexico so theyre tiebl get the chemicals from port they make these drugs not only fentanyl but mass amount was fentanyl mass amounts of neesm. Methamphetamine the sin sing Vinh Ngo Nguyen sin cartel and theyre coming into the cities everywhere and cartels sending operaive its into cities throughout america. Because it is a wide open border. They get the the cooperative people from cartels to come into america to sell this poison collect money, and then chinese nationals are picking up millions of dollars from the Drug Traffickers and theyre landering money back to cartels on their on the apps on their phones they use we chat encrypted app move from one bank account to other so chinese are providing chemical and money landering services to cartels and our kids are dying. This is worse than any Terrorist Attack you have 100,000 a year diagnose and were sitting here treating it as drug overdoses no this is murder. Fentanyl poisoning, lawrence. Lawrence reason why you call it murder i want team to put this up on the screen from one number, of the Counterfeit Pills and how much they look alike. Youre seeing in front of your screen. Thats awe authentic one on the leafnt you cant even tell the difference. Lawrence, and im sorry what people dont realize is that people in america are buying these Pill Prez Presses on internet they can make up to 10,000 on desktop and if you dot math 10,000 times 40 dollars peel, in one hour they can make 400,000 dollars a worth of sales and killing. Sorry to interrupt where are they buying this stuff because people selling this shouldnt that be criminal . Yeah they buy powder from mexico from the cartels they bring it into the houses. They buy the pill presses onlean they go into dark web they go to amazon alley and buy dyes, dispensers and they make them and sell it theyre making a killing unfortunately our kid are diagnose at record levels and it is really sad because it is continuing and were not doing much about it. Law enforcement is working really hard this week many st. Louis they reported Furniture Deliveries coming from l. A. Into st. Louis 27 kilos of fentanyl kill 13. 5 Million People getting out of hand and no sense of urgency and disturbing because families are suffering. Lawrence we have to go on offense eventually because were going to continue to lose more and more lives you think it wont hit your Family Member youve not been follow this story we appreciate you so much providing insight on this critically important story. Thank you so much. Thank you, lawrence. Lawrence coming up next, are we witnessing the beginning of the end of black lives matter . New questions over how they mishandled millions of donations. You dont want to miss this, thats next. Lawrence walls are closing in nor black lives matter and report questions over how group has spent millions of dollars they raised over last two years from coast to coast there have been exposed California Attorney general said this week that organization is delinquent with registry of trust and Attorney General called it a House Of Cards and promised the probe further. Take a listen. Seeing this House Of Cards is coming down, we want to know if black lives matter has solicited funds in indiana and any Real Property here because that all would invoke our ability under our nonprofit laws to see if theyre being wasteful to see what theyre expunge ratio are and a scam and going to get to the bottom of it. Lawrence unbelievable. Joining me now to react Byron Donaldson thank you for join me today. Good to be with you. Glawrntion lawrence so congressman the community i mean black Community Never said give the deal in and theyve separated themselves from bmlm and justice causes that communities wasnt asking for, so why did these big corporations decide to give them money . Well lawrence look the reason why Beg Corporations decided to give blm the National Organization all of this money is because they were trying to buy they were trying to buy their stripes and wokism they didnt want to be attacked about not being everyone thet empathetic but that they were on the same page and they wanted justice and they wanted to bring millions of dollars to black lives matter thats a promise with organizations these companies who were giving minnesota and werent looking under car tan and now we see malfeasance that seemed to have occurred. Lawrence now weve gotten out of the whey black folks really wanted what about allegations that money is being misused looking at this headline one of the founders decided they were going to take some of that money and buy a house a 1. 4 Million Dollar house in l. A. So these people did gift capitalism and these guys are epitome of crony capitalism. Listen this is looking like it is gibing to be one of the biggest in the history of the country. Look patrice one of former cofounder she bought three different homes and resigned and no one is running show at blm and accounting for money then you have the report of them another 1. 4, 1. 5 million going canada to buy a mansion in toronto. I mean this is outrageous according to some of the initial reports, theres about 60 Million Dollars that sitting there but it is unaccounted for but it was donated at some point in time so theres many questions that need to be asked for people watching this listen when you have state of california, anne with a agreement when it comes to propriety this is gong to be a much bigger story. Lawrence what are your colleagues saying on the left . You know they could have sit side by side with Community Talk work and investing into the Community Aoc a lot of these angt Activist Congressmen an women stand handinhand with organization so i dont think it is too much to ask for them to have a comment on this. Have you heard anything from the Progressive Caucus from the squad . Ive not heard anything from them and to be honest, as this thing continues to unfold, i doubt i will hear anything. One thing weve always seen is that groups are always useful until theyre not. I mean you can ask chris cuomo about that one you are useful until youre gone and doubt well hear negative from them this is a tragedy because you have people who believe in Blackive Loose matter local affiliates loring for money to help them do their organization and it was nowhere to be found. Meanwhile, the National Organization quite frankly they were getting rich and buying houses they were Buying Mansion who is knows what else is happening over there. Lawrence unbelievable our people continue to suffer continue to have Poverty Strick Dlp En Neighborhood and organization that said they didnt matter dont care and line their own pocket it is truly disgraceful congressman thank you for joining us on Cross Country. Thank you. Lawrence just ahead a reporter literally pushed off live tv by a chinese official. The unbelievable video in the fallout thats next on Cross Country. Hi. Im Wolfgang Puck when i started my online store Wolfgang Puck home i knew there would be a lot of orders to fill and i wanted them to ship out fast reduce Shipping Costs and print out shipping labels its my secret ingredient shipstation the number 1 choice of Online Sellers and Wolfgang Puck go to shipstation. Com tv and get 2 months free genexa is the first clean medicine company. What does clean medicine mean anyway . Its the same active ingredients you know and trust but without the synthetic stuff you dont want. Well i dont want artificial dyes in my kids medicine. Is genexa right for me . Yes genexa uses clean nongmo ingredients. Weve gone vegan. And talk about it constantly. Is genexa right for us . Yes well i have a gluten thing. Yes well. Yes well. Yes is this just another stupid big pharma ad . No look for genexa, the first clean medicine company. Lawrence welcome back to Lawrence Jones cross krnghts Winter Olympics in full swing and nothing is the way it should be. China wasting zero time and reporters at the beijing games. Take look at this unbleefnl video of a dutch reporters forcibly removed from a chinese official during a live broadcast. Watch. [inaudible conversations] [inaudible conversations] yeah. Lawrence wow. Our next guest was a Collegiate Athlete and royalty position nation host abby joins me now with reaction. Watch Collegiate Athlete. Ive seen you perform you can still play ball. Abby when you see that video man, lawrence. Lawrence what goes through your head . A lot of things goes through my head and first it is unsettling this just shows the unfortunate reality of how concerned china is with on techs that reported reason for this chinese official removing dutch reporter was because apparently the background behind hill wasnt showing a flattering view of beijing. Right and if you would have watched the opening ceremonies you would see that they selected a skier from uighur minority population to light the and showing how it is controlling narrative and weve seen increase Scriewt Nebraska and allegation against china when it comes to Uighurs Human and interment camps so were accepting were not doing anything here nothing to look at. So it is a scary thought. Lawrence you know i wonder youre the most left political person you know youre very balanced so can we have that nancy pelosi shot . This is what nancy pelosi had to say to the athletes that are going across. Watch. I do not encourage them to speak out against the Chinese Government there. Because i fear for their safety if they do. Yeah. Lawrence whats your reaction . I mean when you hear Something Like that it is like why are we sending athletes and putting them in this situation right . You look at china, the things that theyve done and, of course, it is more difficult than a new nuance conversation to have and they prepare for this moment so to ask them to boycott is a diplomatic boycott one thing and ask to be supporting them never way possible. But when theyre being told you have to have these Burner Phones and Burner Computers why are we doing this and look, we even saw few athletes say look the Living Conditions in quarantine theyre not acceptable and what is crazy about that lawrence, is china spent billions of dollars putting on these olympics they have to create fake snow, no snow . Beijing if you havent heard. They did this too by filling up Dried Riverbed and then diverted water from a key Reservoir Displacing hundreds of farmers and their families. But yet they cant put the necessary time money and effort into protecting these athleteses when they have to quarantine. The argument that International Community makes is no one wants to do winter games because nobody makes money off it. Shouldnt it be bigger than money . It should lawrence and you hit the nail on the heads i i le working why you because olympics have always been an opportunity for us to see the world cool together we dont see that especially in todays world dealing with Foreign Policy and things that are happening overseas but to watch Olympic Games so inspiring because you see athletes come from different walks of life different country and speak different languages helping one another. Performing against one another and shake handle at thened of the day and thats what olympics are about. Lawrence i dont know sports but longest they have usa i see American Flag and it is a unifying event i dont understand why hold it in a divisive country it is crazy. Two times. Two times why is that . America needs to make the case for it being here. Thank you very much. Cross country needs to return with a major announcement. You dont want to miss this. Thats next. Lawrence know me way too well at closes country as promise a big announcement involve a big game. Next week we will be heading out to los angeles where we will be coming live from outside of sofi stadium, on super bowl e, we will see you next saturday at 10 p. M. Eastern time, for a night of surprise guest and more powerful stories. Cross country is heading Back On The Road and we hope you will join us.
