Candace Owens is a polarizing figure. The political talk show host and author joined Joe in 2018 to discuss an array of political topics. Among the topics discussed were her views on climate change, which are quite controversial.
Owens mentioned that climate change wasn't as big of an issue as it's been made out to be. She asserted disbelief at climate change because of how politicized it has become:
"I think the climate always changes I guess. Do I believe that this is like an issue that...global warming, which they've changed, conveniently got rid of the word once scientists started disproving it now they only say climate change... No, I think that was just a way to extract dollars from Americans."
Regardless of Owens' views, she was given a platform to discuss and debate. Rogan provides a platform that allows guests to speak without time constraints or a hidden agenda. This is something that Owens likely wouldn't have received at another news outlet with opposing views.
