Candace Owens Responds to New York Times Hit Piece Calling Her Alt-Right Puppet and Dangerous

[00:00] well in an op-ed in The New York Times

[00:02] the heartbreak of Kanye West writer

[00:05] dream Hampton blast the meeting between

[00:07] Kanye and our next guest saying what was

[00:12] dangerous was the way mr. West included

[00:15] Candace Owens an alt right darling a

[00:17] black woman and puppet on his broadcast

[00:21] from the TMZ office her participation

[00:23] was most likely arranged by alt-right

[00:25] operatives she goes on to write with

[00:28] uncharacteristic generosity mr. West

[00:30] Kanye seated the mic - MS Owens who

[00:33] allows a racist misogynist movement to

[00:36] hold her up as evidence that it is

[00:39] neither choice right now with her

[00:41] shocked reaction I would imagine Candace

[00:43] Owen director of urban engagement with

[00:45] turning-point USA she joins us today

[00:47] from Minneapolis morning Candace hi how

[00:49] are you how are you guys doing okay a

[00:53] lot a lot in this dream Hampton op-ed in

[00:57] The New York Times where would you like

[00:59] to start I guess we can start with the

[01:02] name-calling that's always my favorite

[01:04] part I mean am I the only one that feels

[01:06] like this is extremely elementary it's

[01:09] like walking down the hallways of a

[01:10] middle school I think pretty soon I'm

[01:12] gonna get shoved into a locker by these

[01:14] leftist journalists it's not to be taken

[01:17] seriously it's all they have or all of

[01:19] these names that they're continually

[01:20] calling people and they need to exit

[01:22] that strategy altogether it's ridiculous

[01:24] what stood out the most was there a key

[01:26] word or phrase

[01:27] I mean I quite frankly found the entire

[01:30] thing to be hysterical just lets you

[01:32] know that they're afraid I think the

[01:34] word dangerous was especially

[01:36] interesting what's so dangerous about a

[01:38] black woman believing that she can do it

[01:40] without government handouts what's so

[01:42] dangerous about a black woman that's

[01:44] promoting independence of thought in the

[01:46] black community why do they have a

[01:47] vested interest in black people

[01:49] remaining dependent on their narrative

[01:51] is the real question so that was the

[01:53] adjective that stood out the most to me

[01:54] and Candace if you're a puppet then

[01:56] who's the puppet master

[01:58] exactly I'm still trying to figure out

[02:00] there seems to be no bottom to all of

[02:03] the names that left sis come out with I

[02:04] saw an article literally ran that called

[02:07] to me a loser that's what I say when I

[02:09] say that these tactics are Elementary

[02:10] they don't upset me

[02:12] they don't determine

[02:13] if anything they encouraged me and it

[02:15] has an adverse effect more people are

[02:17] able to find me into research and to

[02:19] realize that the media is lying about my

[02:21] message then they get to ask themselves

[02:23] that important question why do you know

[02:25] dream Hampton did did she call you for

[02:28] an interview I mean she's calling you

[02:29] these names does she know you not

[02:32] whatsoever they have not any of these

[02:34] headlines none of these journalists have

[02:36] reached out and asked me for a comment

[02:37] because these aren't journalistic pieces

[02:39] these are hit pieces meant to

[02:41] assassinate my character and

[02:43] unfortunately it's not working well for

[02:45] folks who are unfamiliar with your story

[02:47] a couple of weeks ago you were at a town

[02:50] hall and you confronted a black lives

[02:52] matter protester and you countered what

[02:55] they were saying and then a day or two

[02:57] later Kanye West said he liked the way

[02:59] you thought and then everything

[03:01] unraveled on the political left where

[03:03] they came after you he's in big trouble

[03:05] simply because he likes Donald Trump and

[03:08] apparently he's not supposed to like

[03:10] Donald Trump that's exactly right and

[03:12] that's what Kanye West was talking about

[03:14] the thought police this dream Hampton

[03:16] writer is a member of the thought police

[03:18] force where she has decided that black

[03:20] people are not allowed to have different

[03:22] thoughts black people are supposed to

[03:24] subscribe to this monolith monolithic

[03:26] thinking that is encouraged by the left

[03:28] and people like Vieira will understand

[03:30] up to it as I said before this does not

[03:32] scare me whatsoever and I feel

[03:34] tremendously encouraged that these hit

[03:36] pieces will not stop and they are coming

[03:38] more and more aggressively every single

[03:39] day as we've come we've come to a point

[03:41] in our country where if you don't like

[03:43] the way someone else thinks you have to

[03:46] hate them why do you feel like the left

[03:48] wants to write all these hit pieces

[03:50] about you and Kanye why are you you guys

[03:52] such a threat because for a law a long

[03:56] time they have had a stranglehold on

[03:58] culture and as Andrew Breitbart said

[04:00] politics is really downstream from

[04:02] culture so if they're unable to control

[04:04] culture then they're not going to be so

[04:06] successful as controlling the black vote

[04:08] which they have been tremendously

[04:09] successful in the past in the past

[04:11] what we're starting to see is black

[04:12] people are no longer looking at the name

[04:13] of calling and they're starting to look

[04:15] at the policies and the truth is

[04:16] Democratic policies have decimated our

[04:19] communities over the years that is the

[04:21] big wake up that they're afraid of if

[04:22] they only get 85 percent of the black

[04:25] vote they will

[04:26] lose 85 percent and they still lose they

[04:29] have a lot to lose if we move the vote

[04:31] by even five points
