Who I vote for and who I say I vote for, at a very profound level does not matter. So, I’m very bothered by Rand Paul saying this and that and the other thing. Everybody, you know, every Jew in the country, every Catholic in the country, every Muslim in the country gets to go, “Oh, we’re going to be able to go to church. Penn: When you had that idea, using the atheist as okay, we’re going to take over the government right now, and oh, by the way, we’re okay with Robert Ingersoll. If you give me a choice of free-market democracy with religion and Communism without religion, I don’t think you have to think for a second which I’d go with, where I’m going to do better. Whenever they say we’re going to put the Ten Commandments up here, we’re going to use the Bible here, we’re going to use religion here, I can’t believe that everybody doesn’t scream, “Whose religion?”Īnd that’s why before it got tied in with Socialism and Communism, which I understand why atheism got a bad rap. You know, what you have to understand is when Rand Paul says government can’t be part of religion, but religion can be part of government, which is what he said, when he says that, people like you should be screaming, “Excuse me, whose religion?” That’s the first question you have to ask. If the Southern Baptist came in and said I’m going to treat this atheist well, then the Catholics went, “Whew, we’re okay.”

Presidents had him in the White House because if you had an atheist, your atheist was the canary in the coal mine. Boy, do you not want.īefore communism kind of screwed it all up, at the end of the 19th century, Robert Ingersoll, a very well-known atheist, was courted by all religious groups. Penn: And his whole thing of religion does have a place in government, which I would like to remind him that the people who most don’t want religion to be in government are the religious people. Rand Paul has done much more fake libertarian stuff, you know? Ron Paul was so antiwar in so many ways and so much of a peacenik and so pro-freedom that I was willing to forgive when you got down the line. I’ve never met him, but you know, to me, you’ve got to do a little bit of prioritizing. Penn: As a matter of fact, I’m going to be doing a thing with his father. The people moving it towards libertarian, now, Rand Paul. I don’t think he’ll run again, but boy, Gary Johnson was just, you know, I want to have somebody that has such strong principles that the person doesn’t matter, you know? That’s what you need. He’s not libertarian, but he’s constitutional. Glenn: This is the most libertarian that we’ve had maybe in 100 years. Penn: Oh thinking about running, are you thinking about running? Glenn: No, that’s thinking about running. Glenn: Anybody that you see that you like? Anybody?

'And that is the single question I want to ask Elizabeth Warren and I want to ask Rand Paul,' he said. Where do we draw that line in what government should do?' he continued. People do die from their homes getting too hot. People should be comfortable in their homes. And then right after, in this state, Texas, they in their negotiating said we need air-conditioning subsidies for people in Texas. We don’t want people freezing to death, so the government is going to come in and do that. 'They did heating oil subsidies in New England in order to keep people warm in their homes. 'The question I always want to ask, you know, every person who believes in big government is the simple question, 'What should the government do?' And that question never gets asked,' Penn said. Penn shared his thoughts - as well as the one question he thinks every candidate should have to answer. Penn’s always been a big libertarian, so Glenn was really interested in what he thought of someone like Rand Paul entering the race for President of the United States. Glenn and Penn Jillette always have a great conversation, and last night was no different.
