Joe Rogan (0:00)

Four, three, two, one, boom, and we're live. Candace Owens, how are you doing?

Candace Owens (0:07)

I'm good, how are you?

Joe Rogan (0:08)

I'm very good, thank you, thank you for asking. A lot of controversy these days, Candace.

Candace Owens (0:14)

I guess.

Joe Rogan (0:14)

A little bit.

Candace Owens (0:15)

In the Twitterverse.

Joe Rogan (0:16)

In the world, just everybody's excited about being outraged.

Candace Owens (0:19)

Yeah, exactly, that's exactly right, there's controversy every five seconds.

Joe Rogan (0:23)

You know, I had a guy on before, the guy that you just met, Dr. Robert Schock, he's a geologist from Boston University, and he is a part of this backdating of the ancient, the history of Egypt. And they're talking about, you know, all these different structures that might be thousands and thousands of years older than people think they are. And one of the things that he's working on is that there was coronal mass ejections from the sun, somewhere around 10,000 years ago, that basically killed off a giant percentage of the population on the planet. Lightning storms millions of times greater than anything we've ever experienced before. That literally was like lightning coming down like rain, barbecuing the ground, killing people, people forced into cave, civilization resets.

It's almost like we need something like that to really be upset about. I know. Instead of being upset about Roseanne or Samantha Bee. Samantha Bee used the C word today, that naughty girl.

Candace Owens (1:18)

It's just outrage culture. I say everyone should just wait like 48 hours if everybody hates you, and then they'll be on to the next person that they have to hate.

Joe Rogan (1:26)

Yeah, well, that's one of the cool things about the internet is the cycle, boy, it hits you hard, but then it goes back pretty quick.

Candace Owens (1:32)

Really fast, yeah. It's never that serious.

Joe Rogan (1:35)

It's not like the old days, when someone got in trouble with something, boy, that trouble stuck.

Candace Owens (1:39)

Yeah.

Joe Rogan (1:39)

You know?

Candace Owens (1:40)

I don't know that time. I genuinely don't know that time.

Joe Rogan (1:43)

How old are you?

Candace Owens (1:44)

29, I just turned 29

Joe Rogan (1:45)

Yeah, so you're very, very young in the shit-stirring culture.

Candace Owens (1:48)

Yeah, exactly.

Joe Rogan (1:49)

This is all new stuff to you.

Candace Owens (1:51)

It's new, yeah, and I think the thing that sucks for me is that I'm really conscious of it. I wish I thought all of this was normal. It would be easier.

But even when I do things, just before this, I was like, oh, let me do an Instagram story that I'm about to go on Joe Rogan. I'm like, hey guys, be on Joe Rogan. And I'm like, how weird? I'm holding my phone in the middle of me talking to this device.

Joe Rogan (2:11)

At least you're aware of it's odd.

Candace Owens (2:12)

But that kind of sucks that I'm aware of it. It would be so much more natural if I wasn't aware of it. Girls that just, hey guys, and they had all day and it feels normal. So being conscious of it is kind of not that fun.

Joe Rogan (2:24)

That's probably the best way to approach it though, to be conscious of how goofy it is. Because if you're just swept away in the zeitgeist.

Candace Owens (2:31)

I don't know. I think it's better? Ignorance is really bliss. You think so? Yeah, I think there are people that think it's the most normal thing in the world to just put your entire life on social media. And I actually don't think it's the most normal thing in the world, but my entire life is on social media.

Joe Rogan (2:46)

Well, I've just met you, but you seem like a very bright woman. And that's probably part of the problem.

Is you're not stupid. If you're stupid, you'd be like putting everything on Instagram and you'd be, do you do the selfie face? This is my favorite thing. This thing?

When they do that weird thing with their neck. Trying to get the right angle.

Candace Owens (3:04)

I don't. I'm really bad at selfies. My cousin always has to take them if we're in the same picture.

But I'm getting good at my Instagram angle and the things that I say. Oh, do you guys like this eyeshadow? It's that ridiculous.

Joe Rogan (3:19)

My friend Cameron Haynes loves you.

He saw you on Fox News. He's like, who's this girl? She's making so much sense.

He's like super hardcore conservative. So he likes when anyone is like young and conservative. He like loves Ben Shapiro. He loves all that shit. So he got excited about you.
