go to hannity.com, send a video tapes, maybe we will air them. emails, we will put them up every night, or @seanhannity on twitter. let not your heart be troubled. why? because laura ingraham is standing by with all of the news of the night. laura? >> laura: hey, sean. fantastic show. i'm laura mike laura ingraham, and this is b-29 from washingto washington. why are the democrats so squared of howard schultz? i go one-on-one with an advisor looking to sink the barista billionaire. plus, a shocking exclusive to bring you tonight, a former dhs special agent shares the harrowing tale of human trafficking rescues, a movie being made about him, and why he says we should absolutely finish building the wall for the sake of these endangered children. and the court is in session, a pair of lawyers argued two hot

hollywood legal cases, and judge ingram will vote on the jerry. that is the focus of tonight's angle. it has now gotten so bad in america that wearing a trump hat is considered a hate crime. >> the maga hat carries a connotation that provokes a conditioned reaction for many people, especially for marginalized people. when you wear that maga hat, you are saying "build that wall." >> laura: believing in a border wall is racist. >> there is nothing magical about a 30-foot wall. in fact, that has become now a symbol, really a simple of this administration's policies, and it is a racist symbol. >> laura: urging assimilation among new immigrants like tom brokaw did is xenophobic. >> it's part of what makes america great.

>> he is a little out of touch, probably not up to speed to where things are in today's day and age. >> laura: he is only a legendary broadcaster, you are a just. working with trump on criminal justice reform is totally selling out. >> a lot of people got mad at you, willing to work with him on that issue. fight on everything else that we disagree, but when we agree, work together. they said you will never get there, trump will sell you out down the river, nobody is going to cooperate, and it was the opposite. >> laura: it was a success. the goal, my friends, is to brand an entire belief single no system as toxic. i remember when liberals love to do debate, they now prefer the easier route. just call someone a nazi or a closet kkk member, and you are done, you don't have to do heavy lifting, you don't have to be rigorous, you just use the pledge ordered to shore as a baseball bat and smash them

across the face to declare victory. this was the approach they hoped would pay off in the kavanaugh hearings, where they showcased uncorroborated accusations to get a conviction of unfitness for the high court. thankfully, the tactic fails members lovely there. that didn't stop the left from continuing this line of attack. the examples appear almost daily. this week we learned that a chef and partner at the restaurant and beer house has posted this welcoming tweet to potential customers, and it has since been deleted, but here it is. it hasn't happened yet, but if you come to my restaurant wearing a maga cap, you are not getting served. same if you come wearing a swastika, white hood, or other symbol of hate. we saw the same thing hurled at the covington catholic high school boys. that's catchy.

i'm getting to like that to the them. like lightning, the media instantly branded them as maga-hatted racist. products and education that disrespected this american protester. only later did we learn that it was the kids who had been harassed and confronted by adults. they were guilty of only standing their ground with respect and grace, maga hats and all. now there is a new maga incident, don't you know, the media's rushing to judgment before all the evidence is in. last tuesday, "empire" actor jussie smollett claims he was walking home at 2:00 a.m. on a freezing cold street in chicago when he was assaulted. two assailants allegedly beat him, poured a liquid on him, shouted racist and homophobic slurs, and then they put a rope around his neck. authorities have been investigating and scouring surveillance video of the area, they see smollet walking into an apartment complex with the rope around his neck, but no video

evidence of the assault. according to fox 32 reporter, the chicago pd and fbi have been working around the clock and have found nothing to support the accusations. given the extremity, i think they mean extreme nature of his claims, and where they allegedly took place, it has made them skeptical. in a subsequent interview with the police, smollet added a detail he initially omitted, he claims his attackers yelled "this is a maga country" as they fled the scene. we are glad that mr. smollet seems okay, but unlike much of the media, we will not pronounce judgment before all the facts are in. we are not going to entertain all of these conspiracy theories on the internet, i find all of it hideous. it is also hurtful to the country when partisans rush in to create political scapegoats for every individual crime or infraction. reality is often more complicated than that. and another fact, mr. smollet

has written vile things about the president. things i will not read aloud here. i don't care how nasty your tweets, any violent attack on any american for whatever reason should be prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law, particularly if it was motivated by race, religion, or sexual preference. by the same token, it is a responsible and frankly unjust, to tar all trump supporters as racist and haters because you disagree with the president, or because of some not bank did something hateful and awful beer this destructive racial narrative has impacted our political life. maybe for a reason. the renowned african-american writer shelby steele summed up the situation starkly on my podcast today. >> the democratic party and liberalism generally in america has been completely dependent on fighting some large american eagle, some menace in american

life, that then justifies them taking power. those menaces are fading, racism is not remotely what it was when i was growing up, for example. america has transformed, has evolved, morally, from what it once was. >> laura: but too many democrats don't want you to hear that. they resort to using a shame, guilt, and grievance to get their political way, which basically ends up accomplishing nothing. and it ends up helping no one. except those whose pockets are lined by peddling victimhood. by any objective analysis, donald trump's policies are working. and if they are not scary, and they are not racist, they are woman, not anti-immigrant. renegotiate bad trade deals, stand up to china, get nato countries to pay their fair share, enforce the rule of law at the border. appointed judges who stay in our

constitutional lane. stay out of unwinnable wars, cut taxes, and red tape. not only is this conservative agenda working, it is working really well for minorities. if the resistance doesn't care. they want you to be angry and resentful, no pursuit of happiness for you. so what should republicans be doing? i will tell you what they should be doing. don't play defense. don't apologize for your belief beliefs. actively engage in minority communities, don't be bullied out of them. listen to the concerns of the people, even when it is uncomfortable, and it will be. explain your policies without the filter of an unfriendly media. the power of self-reliance, the power of strong families, single mothers in chicago who i met back in the fall, they understand that. the power of making good choices every day. let's all reinforce these basic truths, amongst ourselves, and also in those communities, by

showing up and actually having a conversation. wouldn't that be nice? the president and his cabinet should hit the road for america, travel to cities like oakland and chicago and baltimore, not just to safe zones in red states. don't see the territory to the hucksters who stoped victor victimhood and kept an entire generation and property. as for the red hats, i would continue to wear them whenever and wherever you like. when doing so, be sure to show everyone around you what true tolerance, kindness, and inclusiveness looks like. that is the angle. joining me now with reaction, horace cooper, cochair of project 21, andy dokken hagler, former democratic marker of the house of representative's in washington. in atlanta, bruce level, the executive director of the national diversity coalition for trump. let's start with you, why is this broad racism brush so

generously applied to trump and his supporters? >> because it is effective. it is a very good way to stop people from being able to see how important the policies are, how effective they are, how impactful they are. it is working, and will keep continuing unless people are called out for doing it. >> laura: a lot of people watching tonight come to the table with preconceived notions, i think, about conservatives, about what conservatives believe. what, in my angle, you disagree with? >> well, laura, i think this, i don't think all trump supporters are racist, but i do think some racists are trump supporters. we need to have civil conversations in this country. to be honest with you, i kind of like the criminal justice reform, but his rhetoric around the campaign trail, and even now, it turns people off, and it has, so we have to do something. >> laura: i like the fact he said -- i get the problem,

sometimes, i'm not saying that doesn't matter. but results, i think, are so important. in other words, you can have a great tone, get everything righ right, compassionate and caring, and then the cities are a disaster. or the unemployment is terrible, or wages are depressed. or there is no opportunity, whether on 480,000 new manufacturing jobs for all people. i think there is never any sense of balance in the coverage of these issues, where race really comes to the floor. sometimes really unfairly. i want to help this, because i think there are a lot of people out there, i've met them, that are tuning all of this i would. guys, can we have solutions. bruce, i know you want to get in here. i think the solutions are there for everyone to see if we stop shouting at each other and actually just look at what work works. >> laura, thanks for having me. and the interesting thing about

the gentleman earlier, the president, when he spoke to the urban communities and said "what the heck do you have to lose?" remember, most of these cities and municipalities were under democrat rules for 40, 50, 60 years, so when you take a look at the lowest black unemployment in the history of the united states, when you look at the urban revitalization, you look at the opportunities, pumping $100 billion plus in these underserved communities across the country. when you look at the highest consumer confidence, highest uptake in black enterprise -- >> laura: you heard the angle, they don't care. the far left running the democratic party does not care. it is almost like they want you to be angry and upset. minority communities, they have to have people angry and upset, otherwise they can't get them to the polls. how are the democrats going to argue they bring the country to 3.8% gdp. are they making that argument, because if they are, i am missing it? >> they are scouring the news to

find little episodes that they can show to create a counter narrative that is false. here is a fact that people didn't talk about any 2016 campaign: there was a kkk klansman with a podcast talking about his support for hillary clinton. if you haven't seen that, it is because the media doesn't give that kind of information. there is racist on all sides. >> laura: shelby steele, one of my favorite writers and thinkers was on my podcast earlier. he made another point when i asked him about the power -- frankly impressive young people like alexandria ocasio-cortez. >> liberalism as we practice it today in america, and people like her practice it, is infinitely more oppressive to minorities than racism. they are fighting a ghost. in resisting her, i'm fighting a real threat, a real enemy. the biggest challenge in

american life today is to get away from the guilt and the shame that we've gotten into in the '60s over our past. until we do that, we're going to be vulnerable to people like he her. >> i like what she is bringing to the table, but the rare conversation -- >> laura: more oppressive than the racism of the past. he went on to say that a minority can do anything he or she wants to do. anything. every profession, every business, every entrepreneurial endeavor, minorities can do whatever they want today, and that is great progress for this country. >> i say so minorities can do what they want to do, but let's be honest, laura, the playing field has not been level, and until we have real conversations about race in this country and where people start, we are never getting to the right place. i don't think the republican party or democrats -- whatever people are trying to call them, we need to have real conversations in this country

about race, and until we do, we are going to continue to be in the spirit >> the problem is, during eight years of the obama administration, the repo man got to know more black americans than they got to know any other group of people, lost more houses, more automobiles, the whole 9 yards. in just two years, in just two years -- no, in just two years, since trump has been president, we have seen an absolute reversal on every single -- >> laura: trump's policies are working, bruce. when you talk about trump's policies, and their successes, undeniable by any objective analysis, the answer most democrats give is "but he called certain countries," or "look at a charlottesville." i'm not discounting how people hurt when they hear words that offend them. but joe scarborough, who basically can't stand donald trump, i think we have a sound bite, he is the new cat

who wrote the book about trump, the staffer i never heard of. what's his name? clifton? they are not big fans of certain trump things, but they both had the same thing about the man. let's watch. >> for instance, we saw him for 12 years behind closed doors, never, ever -- i will put it into an affidavit -- never once heard him say anything close to being racially insensitive. never once. >> laura: i've known him for 18 years, i will completely concur. bruce, you wouldn't be working for someone who is racist. no one i won't know who works in the white house would be working for someone who is racist. now it is the left go? where it is the left go with that? >> i don't know where they are going to go, laura. i've been with the president since 2015, and i can tell you the left has always used the race card, the real voter suppression, to intimidate brown folks like me across the country to keep us from looking at the ideas of free enterprise

that we can grow business, people who look like me -- laura, i've been a business owner for 27 years in atlanta, and i can tell you the best job growth we have had is this president. i quote this, this president is the best president in the history of the united states for black america. yes, i said that. there is more movement going on in terms of banking for the community, just for example, most of the urban communities, the gas station, the cleaners, the popeye's fried chicken stores, they are not even owned by black america. with this president, laura, with the urban revitalization on the consumer confidence going into this urban market, you will see more and more people who look like me in these communities who will be the job owners, who will be the job creators, who will go out and cultivate and have their own grocery stores. for once, this president has the plan. we have to stop getting on this emotional stuff, black america, stop being emotional and pay attention to the numbers. the strongest gdp growth, strongest job unemployment.

these are the things we look at. >> laura: it is up 6,000 points over two years ago. >> you can't deny the relative growth, particularly for black america. >> it's not because of -- it is true, you have to understand, the country tanked, and then the economy began to turn around. i don't think in two years, the economy -- come on. >> four of the records for the worst employment for black america happened under barack obama. five of the best records for black america have happened under donald trump. you can't deny that. >> laura: bruce, i keep going back to this, obama had all the answers, then why -- when he said none of the manufacturing jobs are coming back, trump

going to wave a wand and they all come back? 480,000 jobs have been created are brought back to the united states because of his politics. 480,000. if obama was so great, why didn't he renegotiate nafta? he said he was going to do it, he never did. why didn't he do criminal justice reform? >> laura, you know why? >> on the senate floor. >> the reason why is because president trump, candidate trump at the time, promised the american people he would not entertain pay to play the systems for decades and decades have been wheeled and deals with, this president is not beholden to anyone, and everyone that was in the beginning of the campaign that tried to use his name or to make a profit ended up in trouble. we are the real people who stand with the president from the beginning because he promised the american people he would not be beholden to special interests and lobbyists, and that is what everyone is angry about it, because he will not sell out the

american people, by the people, for the people, laura. that is who we are. >> laura: last words. >> i wouldn't be happy to be with him, most of his campaign has been indicted. >> laura: here we go. >> it's true. >> barack obama told us that it donald trump was elected, the end would come. >> they all say that. >> laura: we also hope jussie smollett is okay, too. >> the real 2015 trump people like myself and millions of us were there from the beginning, we are in it to help this president. we are in it to make this country successful. promising jobs -- everyone who gets in trouble, wheeling and dealing on the side, and we are not taking care of the president, they are thinking about themselves. yes, they deserve to go to jail because they should have never been playing on the sides. to be when we got to go. i love this panel, love this debate, love the fact that d is here. we will continue his conversation, by the way, this isn't going to be a one-time deal for us.

even breathe. they are put in the box of cars or vans or trucks. they don't go through your point of entry. >> laura: this is an epidemic hiding right under our noses. each year between 14,000 and about 17,500 people are traffic into the united states. we wanted to speak to an expert on this scourge, no better want to help us bring the story to life than our next guest, tim ballard, former dhs special agent to actively hunt sex traffickers, it also joined by sara carter, fox news contributor who just returned from the border. it tim, so i want to start with you, you rescue the children, and recently wrote about lily anna, a little girl from guatemala, someone i spent a lot of time in guatemala come i want to hear about her. people hear trafficking, they don't really know what it is. >> this little girl is kidnapped from her village, 11 years old, kept, groomed in central america for two years, but the goal being to get her to the

united states. why? because this country is the highest consumer of child sex, child pornography. they need to get the kids to get their money into the united states. of this little girl was traffic through the wallace section of the border. >> laura: you know this for a fact? >> absolutely, i know everything about this case. she is forced into new york city, but this is hard to hear, this is reality. 30 to 50 times a day raped by american. pedophiles. the wall would have saved her. it forces the traffickers to move their people, move their kids to a place where there are alert agents, technology, and the kid can be rescued. at the same time this is happening, i was working on another case, a 5-year-old boy who was kidnapped in mexicali pine american trafficker, but there is a wall there, so he was forced to move this child

through a port of entry, and we caught him. what this guy was doing, by the way, making child porn in his studio. >> laura: i don't want to say what i would do to these people. >> the wall save this little boy. >> laura: you tell the story, and yet there are people, i know you've seen them, on other cable networks, who laughed at the president the other day. it happened on "morning joe," and it happened on cnn. someone named ola sandoval, let's watch. >> the president has latched onto this idea that women and children are bound, smuggled across the border, some of those experts who deal with the victims of human trafficking, and they say the victims, the nightmares they experience, do not match with the commander in chief is saying. >> laura: who is this little twerp?

>> they are saying the president has utilized a movie to get his information. laugh it up, this is serious. these are children being raped, and do what is happening to these kids is ten times worse than any movie i've ever seen. let's be real for the kids, can we be real for the kids? these kids need us right now, they need this wall so that we can rescue them and curb this academic. >> laura: . the headline in "the hill" thing trump's antitrafficking rhetoric is a sham excuse for a border wall and inhumane policies going back to the shutdown, et cetera. a sham excuse. and they care about the kids. >> a sham excuse? that's what they are doing, when they perpetuate lies and perpetuate a behavior that allows these traffickers and these criminal trafficking organizations to use our border to abuse children, and women, and these are girls and boys,

and women and men, this has to stop. what president trump has done, he is the first president -- of all the time i have covered this border, and i was just in guatemala, i can vouch for you, the guatemalan government found seven children in the group that i was with were not with their parents, they were being traffic for the purposes of sex trafficking, they were able to move them out of the group and rescue them. but think of all of the kids that aren't rescued. think of all of the people abused every day under this system -- of this broken system. >> laura: where are these feminists out there, violence against women? remember the violence against women act? they are too busy fighting for infanticide in virginia. kill the babies, too busy for the partial abortion thing. they were saying he got it all from a movie. look at it. >> any normal administration, it would be insane to suggest an even think about our joke about,

the president of the united states seeing stuff in a movie, and he may be thinking it was real. but in this case, women tied up with tape, put into car, drove across the border, they all appear to be from the same movie. >> president trump had some dramatic talking points on his manufactured crisis at the border, human traffickers gagging women with tape, drive them across the border, illegally. if that sounds like something you've seen in a movie, maybe it is. >> laura: you got to hit the spirit >> the bottom line is this: what really happens couldn into cardio or any other movie, it is way worse. i've seen that movie. >> laura: what are they saying he made up? the fact that people are gagged or it is happening? >> this is disinformation. >> laura: these are best and what dhs and the fbi reporting, is is it all asa conspiracy to

justify a border wall? i'm trying to figure this out. it's actually not funny at all. it's really serious. >> it's her to me, because i have seen these kids, i have held them in my arms. >> laura: what about the sex trafficking victims once they're back? >> we focus of a lot of effort on the aftercare, and that is what hurts so bad, seeing that making this a punch line of the party. this is real, guys, this is a really -- >> laura: how do they ever get back? >> it's possible, we have the best resources, rehabilitation. we are in 20 countries right now, we provide for shelters and rehabilitation centers. it is the hardest thing on the planet. >> laura: you saw a lot of this. >> i've seen this, and i talk to young girls. i remember in 2014, unaccompanied minors flowing over, and there was a young, 14-year-old girl sitting alone, and i went to talk to her -- i

speak spanish. she was so distraught, she had been harmed. they told me she had been raped, had to go to the border patrol agent and say please separate her from the men and take her to a doctor right away, i think she has been violated, i think she has been raped, she doesn't want to talk to anyone. she was shaking. i can't even imagine that anyone would even joke about this. for the first time we are willing to do something about this, and nobody out there is defending the people without a voice. at the victims of this. of those are the children, and the children that you rescued, have nobody else for them unless we speak up. >> laura: and they call trump antiwoman. everything they say, they are. if you think this is a joke -- if he think this is all made up. i know some of these guys who are saying this. >> i've spent years of my life as an undercover operator on this border, fighting sex trafficking. this is real, this is happening. >> laura: they are getting rich off of it.

>> $150 billion injury. slavery today in the modern age. we can't do something about this, and the democrats have to stop lying about it. >> laura: thank you so much. if the left is so confident they can win, beat trump in 2020, why they freaking out about the candidacy of howard schultz? i will put that question up, what is the advisor to the hillary clinton who is trying to think my schultz next. my experience with usaa has been excellent. they really appreciate the military family

protesthowardat.com. what are they afraid of? >> i think they're afraid of a three-peat for a potential candidate with zero chance of winning in a two party >> laura: that is what they set about trump, no chance of winning. >> if we look at this from a two-party system perspective, there is absolutely zero chance a independent will win in 2020. a democrat or republican will win, two elections that have come down to a handful of his oath, and howard schultz knows he has a zero chance being the democratic nominee, he has clearly done a poll, individuals who are really greedy with money. the one that never happens. come on, boss, you can win, i will do another poll that indicates your politics. >> we have a billionaire trying to buy -- >> laura: why do you keep saying billionaire? you don't like people who have made lot of money, why? >> i don't think fox has any problems with billionaires.

>> laura: i don't, i don't have any problem with billionaires. people have built businesses, we shouldn't demonize them because they have been employed a lot of people. do you think starbucks is something we should protest against itself? >> i'm not advocating for a protest of any business. howard has gone out there and said he wants to hear from the american people. i think that is a great idea, and i'm hoping -- >> laura: who is paying you? >> no one no one. >> laura: you're just doing this? >> i heard him out there, and he said he wants to hear from folks, and i saw him at the barnes & noble on tv in new york, and i thought he looked stunned when someone stood up and rejected what he was doing on his book tour. >> laura: if the guy who was paid that made that comment, i would imagine. to put you on the other foot, if conservatives are trying to stop it candidacy in 2020, a challenge to trump, let's say jeff flake or john kasich, you know the media and democrats would be saying, they are really scared, the opposition, why are they so scared of these

opponents challenging trump even from his own party? the same question is begged here. if he is so out of touch, then why worry about him? if he has no chance, why are you freaking out? 5%, maybe, 5% of america would vote for him, why isn't the better tactic for democrats to try to get the 5%? >> that is a great question you just asked. if someone like jeff flake were going to run, and that is exactly what is going on, the rnc isn't stacking its rules in favor of donald trump. >> laura: like they did to shut bernie out in 2016? >> i'm talking about 2020 -- >> laura: you try to get bernie out. >> there trying to make sure no one will run against him, and i think it is interesting all of the support and cheering on for howard schultz is coming from the republican party. >> laura: i'm not supporting him. he's a liberal. he is a liberal businessman, michael bloomberg is concerned

about the direction of the democratic party, as well. he is concerned it has gone so far left, it has left america. that you've gone way over partial-birth abortion, embracing medicare for all, which will bankrupt medicare $32 trillion, and it goes on, and on, and on. i think what schultz is saying, that is not the democrat party, that is a fringe movement, but a lot of those policies don't work. why not debate the policies, and not demonized by guy? >> i think it is fascinating you're talking what michael bloomsburg. >> laura: he's exposing you. >> bloomberg and schultz have done the same poll. >> laura: it's america, it's 5% now, it could be more in six months. he hasn't even said he will run as an independent. likely, maybe not likely. >> the difference between the two's michael bloomsburg wants to be president, so he is --

>> laura: it seems like you have the wind at your back, trump is going to lose, i think you are getting out over your skis a little bit. i could be confident and say our ideas are the best, we are going to raise gdp higher than 3.8%, create more than 480,000 jobs in two years, but you guys are doing that. you are doing you are a racist, xenophobic, misogynistic. the litany of isms doesn't create a single job. >> given the economy, you talk about the economy a lot, i think donald trump should think hard about the next 15 days, because he is going to have some serious problems on his hands if he shuts down the government again. >> laura: that argument will not win in 2020, but we are glad you came on. sorry about your name, it was a tough one. coming up, these models helped promote a music festival that crashed and burned. that case and more, judge laura is next. i'm a veteran

vacuous people, they don't have any sense of business or anything else. their job is to put out a tweet, put their name out, they have no idea what is going on behind the scenes. you can't hold them to any kind of standard. they are barely capable of making contracts because of their own -- >> laura: pejorative. >> come on! they were in for just that part of it. >> laura: south, the rebuttal. >> the federal trade commission slammed the models are coming out with advertisements and tweets for this without a disclosure, compliance with federal law, that they were actually being hired and compensating. they are in trouble with the agency, the bankruptcy court, they deserve to comply. >> laura: quick, 15 seconds. >> they did what they were supposed to do. they can't be told to any higher, they got the job done. >> laura: ruling for seth. i will say why. the models sent out those tweets, they did no due

accused of heinous crimes have all disappeared before being brought to justice. the one thing they all have in common, they are all saudi nationals and investigators

believe the kingdom may be to blame. trace gallagher is live in our west coast newsroom with an unbelievable story. >> in 2016, a portland college student from saudi arabia was charged with a fatal hit-and-run of 15-year-old fallon smart, the saudi consulate paid him $100,000 bail and then two weeks before his june 27th trial on first-degree manslaughter, the u.s. marginal says the 21-year-old saudi national was picked up by a black suv and driven to an open field where he cut off his ankle monitor and disappeared. authorities said he bordered a private plane to the saudi kingdom where he has been for the past 18 months. >> if you do the crime like this, you need to face up what happened no matter who you are. for a country coming in and paying bail for someone to get out of the country, that is disgusting. >> the parents of the
