Penn Jillette Wants to Talk It All Out
The big thing people are surprised in this interview is that he's completely written off libertarianism, for which he was a vocal advocate for most of his career.
Many times when I identified as Libertarian, people said to me, “It’s just rich white guys that don’t want to be told what to do,” and I had a zillion answers to that — and now that seems 100 percent accurate.
Though, really, it conforms to a lot of other interviews he's done and a lot of the media and acts he's put on over the years. He's always been fairly skeptical, and routinely would hold and express views on topics like vaccines that ran 180 to what I would see a lot of liberatians say.
But really even this interview demonstrates how critical a thinker he is and how he's willing to change his mind and analyze. His views on Israel-Palestine are considerably level headed, much more than what I encounter from a lot of people on the issue
