David Webb accused of 'white privilege' by CNN legal analyst

HE IS NOW OUT OF OFFICE. STEVE: MEANWHILE SOME ON THE POLITICAL LEFT LOVE TO USE THE WORD AND OFF USE THE WORD WHITE PRIVILEGE AS AN ARGUMENT IN POLICY DEBATES. AINSLEY: IN AN EXCHANGE THAT TOOK PLACE ON THE RADIO YESTERDAY BETWEEN HOST DAVID WEBB AND AREVA MARTIN PRETTY EMBARRASSING FOR HER. >> THAT'S A WHOLE ANOTHER LONG CONVERSATION ABOUT WHITE PRIVILEGE THINGS THAT YOU HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF DOING THAT PEOPLE OF COLOR DON'T HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF. >> HOW DO I HAVE THE PRIVILEGE OF WHITE PRIVILEGE? >> DAVID, BY VIRTUE OF BEING A WHITE MALE, YOU HAVE WHITE PRIVILEGE. >> AREVA, I HATE TO BREAK IT TO YOU, BUT YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN BETTER PREPARED. I'M BLACK. STEVE: OKAY. DAVID WEBB JOINS US THE HOST OF FOX NATION REALITY CHECK. >> GOOD MORNING. STEVE: WHEN SHE SAID THAT TO YOU OBVIOUSLY YOU WEREN'T FACE TO FACE. >> NO. WE WERE ON THE RADIO. WHICH IS WHAT MAKES THIS REALLY INTERESTING TO ME. FORGET TONE, VOICE, BEING PREPARED AS I SAID TO HER. SHE IMMEDIATELY DEFAULTED TO AN ATTACK, WHICH IS A FALSE NARRATIVE. THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS WHITE PRIVILEGE. THERE IS EARNED PRIVILEGE IN LIFE THAT YOU WORK FOR. THERE ARE THOSE WHO MAY HAVE A FORM OF PRIVILEGE THAT THEY EXERT ON OTHERS IN THE FORM OF INFLUENCE. THIS IS ABOUT MORE THAN JUST WHAT SHE AND THE EMBARRASSMENT AND SHE SHOULD BE. BUT TO DEFAULT TO THIS EASY FALSE NARRATIVE. AINSLEY: WHAT WENT THROUGH YOUR MIND WHEN SHE SAID THAT? YOUR COME BACK WAS PRETTY QUICK AND WHAT DID SHE SAY AFTER SHE LEARNED THAT YOU WERE BLACK? >> WELL, SHE APOLOGIZED. YOU KNOW, YOU'RE CAUGHT. WHAT DO YOU DO? SO SHE APOLOGIZED. BUT IN THAT APOLOGY SHE THROWS HER TEAM UNDER THE BUS. FIRST OF ALL. BRIAN: SHE BLAMED HER PRODUCER? >> I HAVE NEVER DONE THAT TO ANYTHING THAT'S EVER WORKED ON ANY OF MY SHOWS ON RADIO OR TELEVISION. I WOULD NEVER DO THAT FRANKLY, THEY SHOULD CONSIDER WHY THEY ARE BEING THROWN UNDER. I HAVE A QUESTION. WHO GIVES YOU THE WRONG INFORMATION THAT I'M WHITE TO COME ON MY RADIO SHOW? THINK ABOUT THAT FOR A MINUTE. STEVE: WHAT DID SHE SAY HER TEAM -- WHAT WAS THE BAD INFORMATION? >> THEY GAVE HER THE WRONG INFORMATION. STEVE: WHAT'S THAT MEAN? >> THAT'S MY QUESTION HOW DO YOU GIVE SOMEONE THE WRONG INFORMATION ABOUT MY SKIN COLOR? I ALSO WENT INTO SOMETHING AND I WANT PEOPLE TO UNDERSTAND. THIS THIS IS A SERIOUS CONVERSATION TO BE TAKEN FROM THIS. AS I HAVE SAID BEFORE, OUR SKIN IS AN ORGAN, IT DOESN'T THINK AND FORMULATE IDEAS. LET'S LOOK AT IT THAT WAY AND GO BACK TO THE IDEAS IN OUR HEAD AND IDEAS IN OUR MIND AND THINGS WE NEED TO DISCUSS. BRIAN: HERE'S THE THING. LOOK AT THE WHOLE ISSUE IN PARTICULAR. YOU HAD A SET OF BELIEFS THAT SHE JUST ASSUMED MADE YOU WHITE BECAUSE YOU BELIEVE, WHAT? >> BECAUSE I WAS TALKING ABOUT LAW AND PROCESS AND DUE PROCESS. TO BE FAIR, WE HAD A LONG CONVERSATION, PROBABLY ABOUT 12 MINUTES OR SO GOING INTO THIS PORTION OF MY INTERVIEW WITH HER. AND IT WAS A FAIR EXCHANGE OF IDEAS. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT ISSUES WHERE WE AGREE, DISAGREE. WE WERE TALKING ABOUT PROOF, ALL THINGS THAT RELATE TO THAT. THEN WE GOT INTO THIS STORY OF MEDIA COVERAGE, THE CBS COVERAGE TEAM THAT WAS TWEETED OUT BY AOC ALEXANDRIA OCASIO-CORTEZ BEING ATTACKED BECAUSE OF COLOR. THAT'S HOW WE CAME AROUND TO THIS. THEN I TALKED ABOUT QUALIFICATIONS. I HAD BEEN THROUGH DIFFERENT GENRES IN RADIO AS YOU KNOW ROCK, URBAN, HIP HOP, YOU NAME IT AND I HAVE BEEN THROUGH DIFFERENT GENRES IN TALK IT'S BECAUSE I DID THE WORK AND THAT'S WHY I MADE OUT QUALIFICATION AT THE SAME STME STATEMENT.BEING ON PATRIOT RADIO STATEMENT.BEING ON PATRIOT RADIW STATEMENT.BEING ON PATRIOT RADIT STATEMENT.BEING ON PATRIOT RADIH ME AND CONSERVATIVE TALK STATION, WELL, I MUST HAVE BEEN WHITE WAS IN HER HEAD. GUY BACK TO WHO GIVES YOU THE WRONG INFORMATION ABOUT MY SKIN COLOR? AINSLEY: I THINK THAT WAS JUST HER RESPONSE. I THINK SHE WAS CAUGHT. I DON'T THINK HER PRODUCERS TELL HER, I WOULD IMAGINE THEY ARE NOT TELLING HER WHAT COLOR SKIN THE PERSON INTERVIEWING HER. >> IF I'M BEING INTERVIEWED AND WE START AT SOME POINT TOGETHER, WHAT DO DIE? GUY AND I LOOK WHO AM I TALKING TO? WHAT DO I KNOW ABOUT THEM? BRIAN DOES RADIO. WELL, YOU AND I HAVE KNOWN EACH OTHER A LONG TIME BEFORE YOU WERE EVEN ON THIS COUCH. SAME THING, STEVE, WHAT DO YOU SEE DO YOU? LOOK UP HOW ARE INTERVIEWING, A LAWYER OR ATTORNEY. YOU DON'T GO FOR COLOR BUT FOR INFORMATION. STEVE: CLEARLY SHE MADE A GIGANTIC MISTAKE AND HAS APOLOGIZE YOU HAD. HAVE YOU ACCEPTED THE APOLOGY? >> IT WASN'T ABOUT ACCEPTING OR NOT ACCEPTING. SHE GOT CAUGHT. WHAT I HOPE PEOPLE TAKE AWAY FROM IT BECAUSE I HAVE NO REASON TO DISSPACE HER. I INVITED HER BACK. I SAID LET'S COME BACK AND HAVE A LONGER CONVERSATION ABOUT WHITE PRIVILEGE AS YOU SEE IT THAT INVITATION IS OUT THERE. HOPEFULLY WE CAN TAKE FROM THIS AND THE MEDIA FIRESTORM, THAT'S WHAT HAPPENS AND GET INTO THAT DISCUSSION. AINSLEY: DEFINITELY A LESSON THAT WE CAN LEARN HERE AND BE BETTER AND NOT MAKE STEREOTYPES ON SOMEONE'S BELIEFS OR HOW THEY VOTE. IF THE SHOE WERE ON OUT OTHER FOOT IF YOU HAD DONE THIS TO HER. >> IT WOULD BE CALLS FOR FIRING. THEY WOULD BE PRESSURING ADVERTISERS. THE MACHINE ON THE LEFT WOULD HAVE GONE INTO FULL BLOWN ACTION DISMANSDED THAT I BE THROWN OFF FOX. I BE THROWN OFF SIRIUS XM, PATRIOT. I BE OUT OF THE MEDIA AND THE WORLD. THAT'S THE PROBLEM. EVEN THOUGH I DON'T AGREE WITH HER. I INVITED HER BACK U I WANT TO HAVE THE DEBATE. THE DEBATE LET'S US EXPOSE OUT IDEAS AND LET PEOPLE DECIDE FOR THEMSELVES. LIKE I SAID, OUR SKIP IS AN ORGAN, IT DOESN'T THINK AND FORMULATE IDEAS. IT JUST SAYS THIS IS THE RESULT OF YOUR PARENTAGE. BRIAN: WATCH IT MORE ON FOXNATION AND LISTEN TO YOU MORE ON THE RADIO. >> I ALWAYS WATCH YOU GUYS NUT MORNING WHEN I'M PREPPING. YOU ARE PART OF MY PREP U ALWAYS.
