>> I DON'T KNOW WHY PEOPLE
LIKE BEING HE OPPRESSED.
THE WEIRDEST THING I HAVE
HAVE EVER HEARD I LO
OPPRESSION.
400 YEARS OF SLAVERY JIM
CROWE WHICH BY THE WAY YOU
DIDN'T LIVE THROUGH.
YOUR GRANDPARENTS DID.
IT'S EMBARRASSING YOU
UTILIZE THEIR HISTORY.
YOU ARE NOT LIVING THROUGH
ANYTHING RIGHT NOW.
YOU ARE OVERLY PRIVILEGED
AMERICANS.
BRIAN: WOW.
CONSERVATIVE ACTIVIST
CANDACE OWENS CALLING OUT
BLACK LIVES MATTER
PROTESTERS WHO LOOK TO
DISARM HER.
THEY CAUGHT THE ATTENTION OF
RAP MEGA STAR KANYE WEST WHO
SAID HE LOVES THE WAY
CANDACE THINKS AND SINCE HIS
TWEET BOTH HE AND OWENS HAVE
RECEIVED MAJOR BLOW BACK.
HERE WITH MORE ON HOW SHE IS
RESPONDING TO THOSE ATTACKS
IS COMMUNICATIONS DIRECTOR
FOR TURNING POINT HERSELF
CANDACE OWENS.
CANDACE, FIRST OFF.
WHEN DID YOU ACTUALLY
RESPOND TO THAT HECKLER?
WHEN WAS IT POSTED AND WHEN
DID KANYE WEST GET INVOLVED?
>> SO THIS WAS JUST LAST
FRIDAY SO ALL OF THIS HAS
TRANSPIRED PRETTY QUICKLY
AND THEN HIS TWEET WENT OUT
I BELIEVE ON SATURDAY AND
IT'S BEEN ABSOLUTE FIRESTORM
SINCE.
>> AND WHEN KANYE WEST SAID
I LIKE THE WAY YOU THINK.
WHEN YOU LOOKED AT IT, DID
YOU THINK OH, THAT CAN'T
POSSIBLY BE HIM?
>> SOMEBODY ACTUALLY CENTS
IT TO ME IN A TEXT AND I
THOUGHT THEY WERE PRANKING
ME BECAUSE I HAVE SPOKEN
ABOUT KANYE WEST SO MUCH
EARLY ON IN MY CAREER HERE.
I HAVE SAID THAT HE IS THE
ONLY PERSON THAT IS IN HIP
HOP OR THAT HAS A PUBLIC
STAGE THAT IS WILLING TO
THINK INDEPENDENTLY.
I WAS JUST SURPRISED.
>> WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT
YOUR MESSAGE THAT HE SAW
KANYE WEST SAW THAT APPEALS
TO HIM THAT HE GOES, YEAH,
I'M WITH HER ON THAT?
I DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO GROUP
THINK.
I THINK INDEPENDENTLY.
I'M A FREE THINKER AND I
DON'T BELIEVE THAT BECAUSE I
HAVE A CERTAIN SKIN TONE
THAT ABSOLUTELY HAVE TO
SUBSCRIBE TO ALL OF THESE
IDEAS WHICH, ON PAPER DO NOT
MAKE ANY SENSE WHATSOEVER.
AINSLEY: ONCE I READ WHAT
KANYE TWEETED I WONDERED IF
HE BACKLASH IF HE REGRETS
THAT AND THEN EBRO DARR DEN
FAMOUS HIP HOP DJ.
HE TALKED TO KANYE.
HE SAID HE DOUBLED DOWN
BASICALLY ON TRUMP.
LISTEN.
>> HE SAID I DO LOVE DONALD
TRUMP.
KANYE WEST.
QUOTE, I LOVE DONALD TRUMP.
>> THAT'S WHAT I WAS GOING
TO ASK YOU.
PEOPLE HAVE BEEN SAYING HE
HAS BEEN SAYING HE LOVES
DONALD TRUMP.
HE SAID IT I LOVE DONALD
TRUMP.
AINSLEY: CANDACE, WHY IS
THAT SO SHOCKING?
>> IT'S NOT SHOCKING
WHATSOEVER TO ME.
IF YOU HAVE BEEN FOLLOWING
KANYE WEST'S CAREER HE HAS
ALWAYS BEEN A OUTLIER IN
TERMS OF HAVING HIS OWN MIND
AND THINKING HIS OWN
THOUGHTS.
THEY COLD KANYE HE COULDN'T
BE IN FASHION HE CREATED AN
ENTIRE BRAND.
THEY TOLD KANYE HE COULDN'T
LIKE KIM SO HE MARRIED HER.
THIS IS NO SURPRISE
WHATSOEVER.
THIS IS WHO KANYE WEST IS
FUNDAMENTALLY A FREE
THINKER.
BRIAN: SAME GUY SAID GEORGE
BUSH DOESN'T LIKE BLACK
PEOPLE AT A TELETHON FOR
VICTIMS OF KATRINA.
>> YES.
ABSOLUTELY.
ALL THE TIME AS IF PEOPLE
ARE NOT ALLOWED TO EVOLVE
AND HAVE THEIR IDEAS EVOLVE
OVER TIME.
I HATE THAT I HATE THAT.
BRIAN: HE NEVER TOOK IT
BACK.
>> OPINIONS OVERTIME.
I UNDERSTAND THAT BUT THAT'S
SOMETHING THAT I WAS TWO
YEARS AGO A LIBERAL.
SO IS THAT HOW WE WORK NOW
ON THE RIGHT THAT WE SAY
THAT IF YOU HAVE A CERTAIN
IDEA CAN YOU NEVER EVOLVE
AWAY FROM IT WITH TIME?
SO I THINK THAT'S A
RIDICULOUS OFFENSE THEY KEEP
LAUNCHING TOWARDS IT.
STEVE: SURE.
CANDACE, EXIT QUESTION.
WHAT HAVE YOU LEARNED ABOUT
SPEAKING OUT AT UCLA THE
FIRESTORM THAT ENSUED AND
KANYE BACKING YOU?
>> I HAVE LEARNED THAT THE
LEFT WOULD LIKE THEIR SLAVES
BACK.
THEY CREATED A SYSTEM WHERE
BLACK PEOPLE ARE IDEOLOGICAL
SLAVES.
WE TESTED THIS THEORY VERY
QUICKLY.
HE SIMPLY SAID SEVEN WORDS I
LIKE THE WAY CANDACE OWENS
THINKS.
THIS BECAME A FRONT NEWS
STORY ACROSS EVERY SINGLE
PLATFORM CAN YOU POSSIBLY
DREAM OF.
THAT'S ONLY BECAUSE HE IS
NOT ALLOWED TO THINK
DIFFERENTLY AS A BLACK MAN.
STEVE: ALL RIGHT.
CANDACE, WE THANK YOU VERY
MUCH FOR COMING ON LIVE AND
TELLING US YOUR STORY.
