I don't have kids but if I ever have one, I'm naming the first one after you. I don't even care if I created that kid. I'll just name the first kid I see after you, for this.
48:49 It's funny how Penn said him and Carlin became "Wayyy" more atheist after 911, because I was 19, and that's exactly when I began my journey toward hard skepticism. I can tell, because I looked back to my journal of quotes as I was growing up, and there is a twist after September 2001.
I live hearing Penn Jillette talk. I disagree with him some politically, but he is such an entertaining speaker, and, despite what he may say, quite intelligent. at least he comes off that way
The greatest thing about him, that I can pull from this conference, is that he's ridiculously open-minded. He has not set any of his ways or has said my way is the best, he admits that there is room for being wrong and that allows him to grow. A lot of respect after hearing him talk.

Breaking through to a larger group of people who have self-sheltered in a mono-political bubble is priceless compared to the power granted to Beck by legitimizing his show with an appearance.
Xanifur - If Penn is speaking at a college for $20,000, then he's taking a pay cut. He has to not play a show in Vegas. He has to travel to where it is. If he'd stayed at home, done another show that night, he would have earned another $80,000 or so. He's not there to "gouge" you. He's there because he wants to speak to you about the things he believes in, then reminds you that YOU need to understand the things you believe in.
KOakaKO _"If Penn is speaking at a college for $20,000, then he's taking a pay cut."_ I'm sure he would, but the fact remains that 20k pretty much would mean that he won't be doing such events. And honestly, Penn isn't that special. Student organizations would be far better served spending such amounts of money on other speakers.
Penn and Teller had a bunch of kids sign a petition to reduce the amount of Dihydrogen monoxide in our Environment.....at a Environmental event! Of course Dihydrogen monoxide is the CHEMICAL name for WATER! but it "sounds" scary right? Maybe if you never took General Chemistry...
I'm a libertarian/an-cap and in some situations (probably very few, just based on fear) I *would* use a gun to steal from someone in order to give another in EXTREME NEED food, healthcare or other necessities. I would not, however, pay money to a hierarchy called the "state" and support their use of the gun nor would I pay money and allow a simple majority (aka democracy) in my arbitrary geographic region (aka nation or country) to decide when, and under what criteria (the hardest question), the gun should be used. The way a libertarian feels when someone says, "You don't care about the poor since you don't support a national single payer system" is the same way an atheist feels when someone says, "You don't believe in morality since you don't believe in god." The government (as opposed to governing) is neither an ethical nor practical means of achieving good healthcare (or security or law or economic growth) anymore than belief in god is an ethical or practical means of achieving moral behavior.
Probably a god 'cause they're male. Witch thing was hate against women, men had the upper hand so probably could bullshit their way out of being killed.
The concept of "a god" wasn't allowed. THE capital-G God, in a very specific way, was all that was allowed. It's possible they could have been ministers and swayed people that way (who knows how atheist anyone can manage to be in a place where that isn't a concept?) But a mouthy person speaking against the status quo--they would have built a new gallows to make sure it was tall enough to hang Penn.
Laughter is a outward breath forced through the throat by a reflex in the diaphragm. You don't laugh "in". So whatever that was at 30:00 wasn't laughter, it was the sound of a brain shutting down after not getting the joke.
hey guys let's all be skeptic about everything like Penn says but when it comes to political events like nine11 BELIEVE THE GOVERNMENT dont' question anything ok?
Anyone that can look at creation, or a baby being born and say there’s no God or no Creator , IS A FOOL ! It says in the Bible , that it’s scriptures sound foolish to the ones PERISHING ! .... Were counting time by Jesus.... think about it.... out of the billions of people that have walked the earth we’re counting time by 1 of them ! Something rather significant happened I’d say ! 😂 ... I like to call it the mother of all arrivals ! The Bible is the only Book in all religions that is backed up Historically and it’s 100% rock solid ! I’ve studied it for 33 years ! I’ve convert non believers all the time just by simply showing them historical truths ! God is real and he loves you , he loves humanity so much that he sent his Son to die on a cross to pay judgement of our sins, because we’re all sinners and we’ve always been that way since the fall of man. Jesus can save your life ! Amen
In response to what I have been seeing many atheist announce with all the intrepid alacrity in the world: contradictions in the bible. Here is my vindication of Christianity and THE axiom of which atheist shrink from. Atheism: the belief in nothing. They BELIEVE in nothing. Yet they live in a corporeal universe, and they are in fact in a corporeal body. Yet they hold to the belief in nothing. Isn't the fact that we have matter refulgence of fact enough to start those gears of logic to turn and seek from where this material universe originated? Piety...its a virtue and the beginning of the ability to reach salvation.
I really despise political activism. All these little subgroups vying for political power and restrictions of others. It should all fall under individual rights instead of special favor niches carved out for favoritism groups who all play the victim & persecution card.
i like pen and I think he keeps it real for the most part,.. but I heared the joe rogan moon debate, and he has an unfair assessment.. he had already decided joe rogan won before the debate started,.. and I just didn't see what he was talking about,.. I thought rogan failed miserably,.. he was louder and more inturuptive,. but was countered everytime sensibly .. joe rogens aggresivness may be liked by some and are easily impressed by it,.. but came off as insecure to me. but penn was selling from the start and trying to set up a fake narrative that joe rogen was going to be more charming and all this BS and was going to wipe the floor.. anyways,.. I was a listener and not one of the ones that thought we didn't go to the moon or I didn't think joe rogen won,.. I thought he lost
I personally think Penn was joking, perhaps to get more people to listen to it. I like to think Penn knows better than to seriously claim a person with no facts and bullshit "evidence" won a debate simply because he was louder.
david brooks gives new meaning when they come to your door and ask you if you seen god? i head of a few things lets start by you showing your magical underwear first

Really good watch. Penn is ridiculously good at speaking on the spot. Thanks for sharing.
You mean he is a good manipulator of words.. after all he IS a Magician!
He could make a good living selling used cars, or being a Politician...same same
he is a magician he knows how to manipulate his audience don't be fooled by this ackass
I'm so proud to have asked that question^^ I'm the french Canadian with the Meshuggah shirt!!
FUCK the PQ
I agree.
Well that escalated quickly
🤘Meshuggah
I wish I heard the wisdom in this talk sooner. Thank you Penn.
Intros are very boring - 16:23
Ben Simpson, you rock, thanks for that ^_^
I don't have kids but if I ever have one, I'm naming the first one after you. I don't even care if I created that kid. I'll just name the first kid I see after you, for this.
haha I did this quite a lot on a few atheist vids so there are many children to be named now
Doing Gods work. >.> lol
Not when they're done by Andrew Prince.
I love Penn, I could listen to him forever!
If you don't listen already, the Penn's Sunday School podcast will help to sate your Penn-voice needs.
I do :)
48:49 It's funny how Penn said him and Carlin became "Wayyy" more atheist after 911, because I was 19, and that's exactly when I began my journey toward hard skepticism. I can tell, because I looked back to my journal of quotes as I was growing up, and there is a twist after September 2001.
I'm glad I made it out to this show. I asked the last question of the night
Listening to Penn is like breathing fresh air
I live hearing Penn Jillette talk. I disagree with him some politically, but he is such an entertaining speaker, and, despite what he may say, quite intelligent. at least he comes off that way

I so wish I had been there... So many questions for such an interesting man.
i seen just about everything..im going to have to go look for this dancing with the stars they talked about

30:00 IT'S A GOOSE EGG
/goose sounds in background/
He gave this talk in a lecture hall at the University of Toronto! I had a class in that hall my first year.
Penn nailed it!
I just skipped 16 minutes of blah-blah to listen some great words !!! Love you Penn ( and Teller also)
Harshal Bhagwat thank you bro much appreciated
Quote at 29:18
Thank you.
This is what I was looking for! Thank you!!!

This guy is my hero.
'Deck of cards' by Tex Ritter was the first song I ever heard.
1:13:00 Guy in Meshuggah shirt fuck yes
SinnedNogara That's meeeee : )
If we were to have him come to our campus would probably cost $20,000
Please do these more without gouging the students.
That doesn't seem too bad for a celebrity speaker at a university. I mean, Rutgers paid Snooki 32,000 to speak there a few years back.
DPCerberusBlaze
Gross.
Xanifur The only people gouging students is the university faculty charging $1,000 per credit hour making you take worthless classes.

Theres a hyena in the crowd at 29:55 .
Penn enters at 16:23
Thanks a lot. You are awesome.
29:10 This is why I admire Penn.
"Elvis didn't do no drugs"
16:44 Enter Penn
"Every day" should be two words as used in the title of this video.
Epic laugh at 30:00.
TheSocialGadfly sounds like geese flying by
@ 30:00, there's a crazy person laughing. Pretty creepy.
Sounds like a zebra
1:24:44 Hitch
penn j starts at about 16 min in.
thanks!
Thanks
Penn's voice sounds like Jesse Ventura
+Walrus I also hear The Big Show.
29:59 that laugh
what's the difference between Jesus and a picture of jesus....You can hang the picture with one nail...X^D
16:20 to skip the socially inept ignoramuses and get right to Penn Jillette.
I see the first talker is trying very hard to channel his Inner 10th Doctor. Det hair.
16:20 So sorry for the producers, I skipped to Penn.
Laugh like a bird: 30:00
Penn and Teller had a bunch of kids sign a petition to reduce the amount of Dihydrogen monoxide in our Environment.....at a Environmental event!
Of course Dihydrogen monoxide is the CHEMICAL name for WATER!

In 2015 he looks like half the man he was here now. I think He said he's lost 100lbs.
@ConservativeAtheist what is it with online atheists and body shaming. he's happy, fuck off.
Weird how, when at 47.20 he's discussing the 9/11 atacks, I was just noticing how the background looks like the outside of the twin towers.
If you or David Blane, Chris Angel Or Copperfield were alive in Salem during the days of witch trials would you be a God or killed for being a witch?
Probably a god 'cause they're male. Witch thing was hate against women, men had the upper hand so probably could bullshit their way out of being killed.
KidsWithGuns1992
Of the 21 people killed as witches in Salem, 7 were men.
The concept of "a god" wasn't allowed. THE capital-G God, in a very specific way, was all that was allowed.

Who let the Dogs out at 29:55
Who is the real Penn... the Beck Pen or this expletive/insulting play to the crowd Penn. Sadly this Penn impacts how reasonable I thought he was...

No but they think they are.

So when you look at a baby being born you’re pretty much looking at the result of evolutionary processes, not creation sir

I don't understand the mormon funny underwear joke
Sebastian Brito mormons believe in magical underwear that protects them from the devil
Teresa Harris yea i heard that...do they just come in white?
david brooks gives new meaning when they come to your door and ask you if you seen god? i head of a few things lets start by you showing your magical underwear first
Mormons wear a sacred undergarment at all times, it’s a thing.
