Bio

Lawrence Jones currently serves as host of Lawrence Jones Cross Country (Saturdays 10-11PM/ET) and an enterprise reporter for the FOX & Friends weekday and weekend franchise. He is the youngest Black solo host of a program in cable news.

His weekend program Lawrence Jones Cross Country focuses on newsmakers from across the political and cultural spectrum, spotlighting the leading concerns facing Americans nationwide.

Since joining FOX News Media in 2018, Jones has become known for his signature storytelling and "man-on-the-street" segments focusing on the impact of various issues on local communities, most often in primetime on Sean Hannity’s eponymous top-rated program. He was later named enterprise reporter for the FOX & Friends franchise in May 2021 and has filled in as guest-host for the top-rated cable news morning show on both the weekday and weekend editions. Throughout 2021, Jones also served as a regular host for the nightly FOX News Primetime at 7PM/ET.

In the summer of 2020, Jones hosted a one-hour primetime weekend special entitled One Nation which examined the state of race relations from the perspectives of civil rights activists, law enforcement officials and religious leaders. Notably, he conducted an emotional interview with the family of Davell Gardner, Jr., the one-year-old child who was shot and killed by a stray bullet while asleep in his stroller at a cookout in Brooklyn, New York. He also reported extensively from Chicago on the city’s spike in gun violence, interviewing the family of Natalia Wallace, a seven-year-old girl who was killed in a drive-by shooting on the Fourth of July.

Prior to joining Fox News, he was the editor-in-chief of Campus Reform, hosted his own radio show on TheBlaze Radio Network and served as a contributing host for TheBlaze TV.

He consistently goes after the hard-hitting and untold stories. In 2016, Lawrence sat down for an exclusive interview with the parents of Micah Johnson, the Dallas shooter from the deadliest police ambush in American history. After refusing to speak to the media, the family reached out personally to Lawrence.

In 2013, he worked as an investigative journalist, playing a pivotal role in exposing corruption in the Affordable Care Act marketplace. His investigative work was instrumental in bringing reform to the funding of the Affordable Care Act’s Navigator program.

A native of Garland, Texas, Jones attended the University of North Texas where he studied Criminal Justice.

Keynote Speeches

Political Scam: How the Democratic Party’s Progressive Policies Have Decimated the Black Community
Black voters have been loyal to the Democratic Party for decades. Unfortunately, the party hasn't delivered on its long-promised policies that it claims would directly benefit the black community. As an early supporter of President Obama in 2008, Lawrence felt his message of "hope and change" was the solution to all of his community’s problems.

Lawrence eventually discovered that the message of "hope and change" didn't bear much fruit. Lawrence breaks down the failure of the Democratic party and how the best option for the black community is empowerment through free market capitalism.

Conservatives have the right message, but need better messengers who can adequately communicate to the black community. Lawrence breaks down how to make that happen.

Liberal Bias on Campus: The Greatest Threat to the Next Generation
For too long, conservative students have been forced to endure hostile learning environments created by activist professors who prioritize a liberal agenda over a quality education.

Lawrence breaks down the growing tension on colleges campuses over free speech, anti-American rhetoric, attacks on capitalism, praise for socialism, safe spaces, microaggressions, illegal immigration, indoctrination, political correctness and religious freedom.

Lawrence will also explain how conservatives can go on offense.

Lawrence leads a team of 90 reporters who serve as watchdogs of the country’s higher education system by investigating and exposing incidents of liberal bias and abuse on our nation’s college campuses.

Smart and Tough on Crime: The Conservative Case for Criminal Justice Reform
Our government has a constitutional obligation to provide public safety through the criminal justice system but, like many aspects of government, it was designed to serve citizens. Sadly, the system is currently serving government and special interest groups.

There is a conservative response to reform our criminal justice system. We can be both smart and tough on crime.

Lawrence will speak on his experience as a student advocate in the Dallas County juvenile court, and breakdown issues such as: overcriminalization, transparency, accountability, civil asset forfeiture and mandatory minimums.
