The Jack News:

Years ago, and before his transformative weight loss, Penn Jillette was a guest on Real Time and was asked about his libertarian beliefs. He proceeded to explain that libertarians try to solve every problem by asking if it can be done with more freedom instead of less.

Penn Jillette schooled Bill Maher on what a real libertarian is once again just last week.

Bill Maher invited Penn Jillette back onto his show following a tumultuous week that saw numerous protests across the country against Confederate statues. Jillette opened by saying that if Confederate sympathizers wanted statues they should have won the war – noting that the losing side normally doesn’t get memorialized.

He followed up by correctly noting that Thomas Jefferson was against such idolatry and wouldn’t approve of a statue of himself. In sum, Penn Jillette proposed removing all such statues from public land – as it isn’t a proper responsibility of government.

After they got through the news of the day, Bill Maher got right back Penn Jillette’s libertarian beliefs. Of course, Maher started with the vote that Jillette cast for Hillary Clinton. Although Jillette did end up voting for Clinton in Nevada, he did say at the time that he “traded” his vote for at least ten votes for Gary Johnson in other states.

He explained to Maher that the only reason he voted for Clinton was because he personally knew just how bad of a person Donald Trump is from his time on The Apprentice.
