Such perverse and dangerous loyalty does exist and is alarming. I'd be horrified if one of my family expressed that sociopathic level of "unconditional love". A willingness to be an accomplice to murder is not a virtue, nor is allowing someone to be killed really doing a service to the murderer. I wonder if she would have admired the sentimentality of someone who remained protectively silent while their sibling killed Penn?
Hi Penn fans. Penn Says videos have been discontinued, so you won't be seeing any new content on here. You can check out our Profile on our Channel Page for more info. We'll still be checking in, so hope to keep chatting with you all! Thanks!
I've seen this Penn Jillette expound pretentiously that there should be no government funding to aid the needy. He claims wealthy people like him should be allowed to decide who lives and dies via voluntary charity. It begs the question of when. With 10,000 children under five years old dying yearly from preventable causes -- mostly lack of clean drinking water -- in developing countries with no aid to the needy, how can Penn Jillette want that for the US? He wants empathy but gives none.
So I'll cry for Penn's dead sister after I get through crying for the little kids blown up by Israeli/US missiles and kids dying in their own shit from terminal diarrhea as a result of policies Penn Jillette supports. If Penn Jillette wants to tailor his political views to be a figurative blowjob on his criminally insane boss Sumner Redstone -- hey, ok, fat fuck mediocrity can't really make a buck any other way. Just don't ask the public to respect you in the morning, you unfunny loser.
Penn Jillette thinks US aid to Israel -- $5 billion cash a year & unlimited military support -- is just fine. This doubles Israeli per capita income, funds free health care, subsidized housing, infrastructure, etc.
"Penn & Teller: Bullshit" is owned by Showtime, which is owned by CBS Corporation, which is owned by radical Zionist Sumner Redstone. Redstone supports apartheid/genocide of Palestinians, Israeli expansion & military aggression in Arab states, and defamation of Muslims in general.
Penn Jillette advocates against any government aid to the needy for any reason. He says rich fat fucks like him will step in with charity if they are not forced to with taxes. When? 10,000 children under five years old died last year of preventable causes, mostly lack of clean drinking water, mostly in countries where corrupt governments take payoffs to let corporations poison the environment. How many children were saved with donations from the Penn Jillette Foundation? None you say?
Fat, greedy professional liars who suck the life out of working people and support policies perpetuating a permanent underclass need a reality check. If fat fuck wants to mourn his sister let him do it in private. This is so very vulgar. All might be forgiven if his Acting 101 style were slightly less cliche.
It appears to me that the subject of this video has nothing at all to do with Penn's opinions/beliefs about politics or religion. He is just expressing his grief about his sister's death. I think that the reason he told the story about that conversation he and his friends and his sister had at Starbucks was because he wanted to illustrate the magnitude of [unconditional] love she feels for him and, therefore, the extent of grief he is experiencing. Pls. accept my condolence on your loss, Penn.
@IbanezJFS I'd knock my brother out cold if he was a murderer, terrorist, etc. Knock him flat. I wouldn't have to turn him in, he'd be tied up in my basement eating oatmeal and shitting in a bucket.
Disturbing number of hate filled comments, or more correctly rants. Some seem to see the web as a form of "stand-of weapon" for inflicting injury at a safe distance from themselves. Unseemly. Penn stands up and presents his views and values honestly and clearly, using his own name, and I wish to recognize him for that. I disagree with a great many of his views but not his character.

10,000 children die each year from preventable causes, mostly lack of clean drinking water, and this fat fuck says the needy should depend on charity from fat rich pricks like him. He advocates for no government regulation of corporations, as in developing nations, where corrupt officials allow industry to turn rivers and lakes into toxic chemical dumps, causing widespread cancers and birth defects. Sorry your sister died peacefully after a long and comfortable life, you fat hypocrite fuck.
Personal attacks are terribly inappropriate in an argument, you we're doing good too! Good grammar, but whatever, you guys think differently the internet isn't the place to convey that, where everyone can hate you for your opinion.

Penn Jillette beats the drum for "Libertarianism" and shills for corporate funders of the Cato Institute, ie, he advocates abolishing anything that makes life bearable for working people like corporate regulation, environmental protection and Social Security. He made a stupid joke about the people killed in the recent Mumbai terror attack and then laughed that phony laugh of his. Yes, Penn Jillette is a fat fuck narcissist, incapable of feeling empathy for anyone but himself. Loser.

His sister was right. The Unibomber's bro was f***ing payed for ratting.
For those of you who are religious, think of it this way...You die, go up to heaven, and meet St. Peter at the Golden Gates. You tell him that you have something important that you only could tell God. Basically, you plea bargain with God...tell him that if you get into Heaven, then you will rat out all the things that your family has done. What will God say? He would say "F*** you and go to hell!" NEVER rat on family.

i lost my sister in 2006...she was 25 and i was 23 at the time. she had cystic fibrosis. i still feel today that i lost the most important person in my life. it has only gotten harder. every day i feel that knot in my stomach getting tighter and tighter. i would never wish depression or sadness upon my worst enemy. i am sorry for your loss penn. all you can do is try to live through it, nothing is ever forgotten. you will never get over the loss of someone you love especially your older sister.

Great story, I guess it's the love you experience when you share the same blood, gene.
I've never experienced it, the people I loved (Except my daughter) were so sucked in by the authorities that they would call the cops at the drop of a hat. That's why I live alone.
I would turn in anyone in my family that was going to kill other people for no good reason. Penn you was going to set off a Nuke in Boston and another family member was living in Boston. would then your sister turn you in to save that other family member? I would.
My Grandma was like that. A couple of years ago I came across a bottle of perfume in the mall that I just had to have. It was old lady perfume but it reminded me of my Grandma and in the store it nearly brought me to tears. Sometimes, I just spray it in the air and it brings me back to my grandma for awhile.

It is not his sister or his fault that they were born into better circumstances than most of the unfortunates that you speak of. You can't blame anyone for being born into a life of poverty or a life of good health and a good life. It just makes you look all the more foolish when you honestly believe it is anyone's responsibility to have to clean up the misery and suffering of those improvised nations OTHER than their own leaders.

Your solution is to take money away from people who earned it and give it to people who didn't earn it and may or may not deserve it. That is morally unacceptable, no matter how noble the cause is. You have no right to dictate how to spend someone else's money.
Oh, yeah "great story." Sister knows you're going to blow up NYC, or crash a plane into a skyscraper, killing thousands, but she's NOT going to turn you in. She sounds like a real "peach."
Meandering, self-indulgent stories that you'd tune-out at a family reunion.

I was sitting at a stop light in LV one day. I looked to my left and I saw these two giants sitting in a Mini Cooper. I noticed it was Penn driving and a woman older than him that looked like him in drag. That must have been his sister. She sounds like a wonderful human.

You are really an intelligent man, and have given me much food for thought through your videos. It came to my mind reading about your sister's unconditional love for you, that Jesus went one step further than your sister. In essence, he said, "My brother is guilty and deserves to be punished, but I want to take the punishment for him. And I believe he did.
The whole story's in that Gideon Bible you mentioned in one of your other videos.
Medart, You may believe you're doing a good thing by taking a cheap shot at Penn here and making a proselytute of yourself, but you're not. You're being a goddamned vulture.
Great story, Penn. I'm glad you told your story to us, knowing how venomous people can be over the internet. I couldn't help but tear up, stories of lost loved ones always get me. I'm sorry for your loss, she sounded like a wonderful woman.
Nah, nah the thing is (I guess) that she meant she would never turn a member of her family in. But I dont think she would in any way agree with what the familymember was doing. Instead try reasoning him/her into doing the right thing... think that I would have done the same
I guess it may seem strange to say you would not stop a terrible thing from happening out of your love for the person planning on doing the terrible thing, but unconditional love is just that- unconditional, meaning that you love someone in a way that makes it impossible for you to make decisions for that other person that will negatively effect the way they live their lives. It takes a large level of commitment to do something like that, and to deny that conviction is the opposite of real love.
All arguments aside as to whether what his sister said is right or not, the point is that Penn is longing for something he no longer thinks exists. Unconditional love was given to Penn by Jesus, who WILLINGLY laid down His life for Penn, despite the fact he does not believe in Him. John 3:16 For God so loved Penn that He sent his only son Jesus. If Penn will believe in Him, he will have life everlasting. Just believe in love, real love, unconditional love! You're in my prayers Penn!!!

I on the other hand wouldnt think twice about turning one of my family members in.. especially if they were killing or harming other people
I do love each and every one of my siblings but Id have to draw the line at murder. If you kill someone else youre killing someones brother, uncle, son, etc etc
I cant put my family above everyone elses family in the world. Id have no choice but to turn them in. I would hate myself but it would have to be done before more people lost their lives

He does not expect us to get all weepy. He is simply stating what is going on in his life right now (back then) so you can just stuff that comment right back up your ass were it came from.

This guy is like Nixon talking about his little dog Checkers. His sister should have told him more often, "shut the fuck up you boring, phony sack of shit."
Wow. She probably died of the shame of having an idiot like you for a brother. I agree with another post here - telling a joke about the Mumbai bombing to bolster the credibility of your shit, racist opinion about Slumdog Millionaire is so lacking in humanity that we will never show you any compassion.

There's some real sick fucks commenting here so disable commenting on this video and delete those comments please because is disgraceful the way these people act.
Such a saint deserves better than this cheesy exhibition. Have some sense of decency and discretion.
>>> "How did your sister die, Penn? Someone pushed her down a flight of stairs, as you advocate doing to people who disagree with you? Very sad that your capacity for empathy is so incredibly stunted."
Penn shills for all the megacorporations funding the Cato Institute propaganda mill.
>>> "Tell us how you really feel. Seriously, this video really is a low point in American culture. Cheap, cheap, cheap."
>>> "How long has this self-indulgent blowhard been surrounded by sycophants? Most of his adult life, from the sound of this rambling pointlessness. People die everyday, many as a result of the policies of the regime you run propaganda errands for, you fat, overpaid, fascist fuck."
Anyone who's a fan of Penn should be aware that bc9021010001 is actively engaged in slandering Penn by delcaring him a "Shill" (read: paid employee) of some quasi-fascist capitalist agency.
Begin the fightback against retardation today! leave him a little comment on his profile just like I did. I'm guessing from the name that these guys been banned a whole bunch of times before now. Let's see if he'll oblige us by threatening violence and getting himself banned again.
Around the world thousands of children die daily from chronic diarrhea. Their brothers weep too. Thoroughly preventable if clean drinking water were provided. Penn Jillette advocates for minimal government, and boasts that fatcats like him will volunteer charity to help the unfortunate. Thousands of children are still dying daily of this thoroughly preventable epidemic. All it takes is money. Where is the Penn Jillette/Sumner Redstone Foundation to save these children from agonizing death?
Tell us how you really feel. Seriously, this video really is a low point in American culture. Cheap, cheap, cheap.

Hardworking people die everyday for lack decent health care, malnourishment, homelessness, lack of decent education, breast cancer, brain tumors, birth defects, chronic diarrhea from polluted water -- things Penn Jillette and the rest of the multimillionaire corporate shills at the Cato Institute can afford to avoid but would deny the other 99% of the world. Penn has become a robotic Stepford Wife spokesmodel for corporations. Hard to sympathize with this fat self-indulgent liar.

>>> "How did your sister die, Penn? Someone pushed her down a flight of stairs, as you advocate doing to people who disagree with you? Very sad that your capacity for empathy is so incredibly stunted."
(2/2) I've had hypothetical discussions with my mother on what if one of her siblings (putting the weight of the what if on me - i'm not gay, but very (or at least think I am) comfortable with my sexuality. She did not want to even consider it. What kind of "unconditional" love is this? It just pains me to see that this is the cloth that I am cut from.
My condolences to you, Penn. I wish I had a sister like that, or even a friend. There has not been one moment in all of my existence that I had not thought and my family has strictly conveyed over my lifetime, that if I wasn't trying my hardest to be the child/sibling that my family wants/sees me to be, I would not be accepted, loved or wanted.
Dude the one downside to being an atheist is we dont believe we will see our loved ones again, which makes the pain of death ever so much more awful, as we believe life and death are the beginning and end. I have a sister, i hope i die before her, i couldnt imagine losing that piece of me.
Penn, thanks so much for sharing that story about your sister. I lost one of my brothers with whom I shared the same close relationship. It's a huge loss. Please know that I keep you and your family in my thoughts.
How did your sister die, Penn? Someone pushed her down a flight of stairs, as you advocate doing to people who disagree with you? Very sad that your capacity for empathy is so incredibly stunted.
I dont agree with her on any level but it must have been nice to know that your sister loved you that much. It must be horrible to lose someone like that.
Penn, my deepest sympathies on your loss. It is fabulous that you experienced that kind of intense and loving relationship with your sister. She loved you without judgement or condition. Wow!!! Most of us, myself included, wonder what that's like. You are indeed fortunate to have experienced such a rare and exquisite phenomenon.
My condolences, I am very sorry for your loss. I have always admired your activism for reason and freedom. I don't agree with your sister's reasoning, but she sounds like a great person.
1 more ? please. I believe from every angle you can examine it, that when we die, we go exactly back to the "place" we were before we were conceived. A sort of anti-state. An if you close your eyes and try to force a memory of that "place", it was pretty fuckin good. Why do we feel a need to make up afterlife resorts when nature has already seen to that? Are we so arrogant a creature that the eternal cosmos doesn't cut it? We really are stardust.
There's a rumor going around that Barrack Obama was born in Kenya.If that were true Obama would not qualify to become the U.S. President.Candidates for the job have to be born in the U.S.
Let's say that Obama was born outside the U.S. and it came to light AFTER the election.
(I'm not saying that he was, I'm asking you to imagine that he was for the sake of the topic).Would you remove the first black U.S.President or would you overlook the rule to avoid the consequences (cries of racism, riots)?
The consequences that MAY come about if Obama were to be removed from office on a technicality?I'm assuming that the vice President would become the President under such circumstances.
I am glad you shared this story with somebody, because I am sure you wished you could have done that at her "gathering." Youtube is odd in the sense that you can speak to millions by speaking to yourself.
Your story reminds me of my best friends fathers words to his son. He essentially conveyed the same message. Thanks again.
a true tear-jearker. venustat2 said it best: just hugs. on a side note Penn, did you notice how you kept saying "faith" instead of "face" at one point? i'm an agnostic, just found it interesting. i think you could appreciate something like that
I'm remembering how hard we laughed when she read the (paraphrasing) "the top 10 ways you know you're listening to too much Penn Radio". I could plainly sense your affection for her, Penn. I'm sorry she's gone.
It is always hard losing someone so close to you, especially since so few can truly reach that level. I appreciate hearing your story. Not only did it help you, it helped me too. I lost my mother at a young age, and I lost an irreplaceable unconditional love as well. I couldn't speak at her funeral either, but I think about her every day too. Sentiments like the one you've shared here are priceless to all who experienced such.
Whoa! That really choked me up. It must of been difficult to concede such intimate feelings about your sister. I'm sorry that you lost such a prodigious person in your life.
Well said Penn. Sorry for your loss. :/...and you're right Ted's brother did the right thing. But I don't see any problem with letting your unconditional love exist and if it ever came to you having to turn a family member in, you let the law handle it.
I dad was essentially agnostic, my mom raised us as Neo-Pagans, and we ended up as pretty much an atheist family. When my dad died, recently as well, we had a similar ceremony. Read the obit, played some music, and then told stories. The fact that we played "Spirit in the Sky" was about as religious as it got (and that was kinda an inside joke). My dad hated preachy funerals, where instead of memorializing the dead, they told us we were all going to Hell. I made sure his was different.
You can unconditionally love someone and still turn them in. Especially to prevent something horrible from happening. I think it would be more loving to protect those other people and get your family member help (if only that's what prisons actually did).
Mr. Jillette, that is dark love. Dark love does not live in the brain, it lives in the depths of the heart. If you begin to understand it, it will lead you to why God allows suffering.
I love my sister dearly. She and I stood against the world, once. Now I am alone, too. But she will come back to me. And just because you are an atheist, doesn't mean you have to believe that when we die we disappear. There's no atheistic law against the idea that we go on, is there?
Hello: I`m mexican and i don´t understand the all story, but I deeply catch the last words. Recently my father died and form me, that love, that exactly same love that you talk about, is my biggest lost. I deal with his dead, but the fact that anybody in the rest of my life is ever going to love me as he did. I think that when two diferent people in two diferent countries finf out that they feel the same about this kind of pain, the path that they are following is not the wrong one.Mariana
Such perverse and dangerous loyalty does exist and is alarming. I'd be horrified if one of my family expressed that sociopathic level of "unconditional love". A willingness to be an accomplice to murder is not a virtue, nor is allowing someone to be killed really doing a service to the murderer. I wonder if she would have admired the sentimentality of someone who remained protectively silent while their sibling killed Penn?

10,000 children die each year from preventable causes, mostly lack of clean drinking water, and this fat fuck says the needy should depend on charity from fat rich pricks like him. He advocates for no government regulation of corporations, as in developing nations, where corrupt officials allow industry to turn rivers and lakes into toxic chemical dumps, causing widespread cancers and birth defects. Sorry your sister died peacefully after a long and comfortable life, you fat hypocrite fuck.

Penn Jillette beats the drum for "Libertarianism" and shills for corporate funders of the Cato Institute, ie, he advocates abolishing anything that makes life bearable for working people like corporate regulation, environmental protection and Social Security. He made a stupid joke about the people killed in the recent Mumbai terror attack and then laughed that phony laugh of his. Yes, Penn Jillette is a fat fuck narcissist, incapable of feeling empathy for anyone but himself. Loser.

His sister was right. The Unibomber's bro was f***ing payed for ratting.
For those of you who are religious, think of it this way...You die, go up to heaven, and meet St. Peter at the Golden Gates. You tell him that you have something important that you only could tell God. Basically, you plea bargain with God...tell him that if you get into Heaven, then you will rat out all the things that your family has done. What will God say? He would say "F*** you and go to hell!" NEVER rat on family.

It is not his sister or his fault that they were born into better circumstances than most of the unfortunates that you speak of. You can't blame anyone for being born into a life of poverty or a life of good health and a good life. It just makes you look all the more foolish when you honestly believe it is anyone's responsibility to have to clean up the misery and suffering of those improvised nations OTHER than their own leaders.

You are really an intelligent man, and have given me much food for thought through your videos. It came to my mind reading about your sister's unconditional love for you, that Jesus went one step further than your sister. In essence, he said, "My brother is guilty and deserves to be punished, but I want to take the punishment for him. And I believe he did.
The whole story's in that Gideon Bible you mentioned in one of your other videos.
Thanks again for your thought provoking insights!

Nah, nah the thing is (I guess) that she meant she would never turn a member of her family in. But I dont think she would in any way agree with what the familymember was doing. Instead try reasoning him/her into doing the right thing... think that I would have done the same
Gud3n2 3 years ago
I guess it may seem strange to say you would not stop a terrible thing from happening out of your love for the person planning on doing the terrible thing, but unconditional love is just that- unconditional, meaning that you love someone in a way that makes it impossible for you to make decisions for that other person that will negatively effect the way they live their lives. It takes a large level of commitment to do something like that, and to deny that conviction is the opposite of real love.

All arguments aside as to whether what his sister said is right or not, the point is that Penn is longing for something he no longer thinks exists. Unconditional love was given to Penn by Jesus, who WILLINGLY laid down His life for Penn, despite the fact he does not believe in Him. John 3:16 For God so loved Penn that He sent his only son Jesus. If Penn will believe in Him, he will have life everlasting. Just believe in love, real love, unconditional love! You're in my prayers Penn!!!

Your story reminds me of my best friends fathers words to his son. He essentially conveyed the same message. Thanks again.

a true tear-jearker. venustat2 said it best: just hugs. on a side note Penn, did you notice how you kept saying "faith" instead of "face" at one point? i'm an agnostic, just found it interesting. i think you could appreciate something like that

I'm remembering how hard we laughed when she read the (paraphrasing) "the top 10 ways you know you're listening to too much Penn Radio". I could plainly sense your affection for her, Penn. I'm sorry she's gone.

It is always hard losing someone so close to you, especially since so few can truly reach that level. I appreciate hearing your story. Not only did it help you, it helped me too. I lost my mother at a young age, and I lost an irreplaceable unconditional love as well. I couldn't speak at her funeral either, but I think about her every day too. Sentiments like the one you've shared here are priceless to all who experienced such.

Whoa! That really choked me up. It must of been difficult to concede such intimate feelings about your sister. I'm sorry that you lost such a prodigious person in your life.

Well said Penn. Sorry for your loss. :/...and you're right Ted's brother did the right thing. But I don't see any problem with letting your unconditional love exist and if it ever came to you having to turn a family member in, you let the law handle it.

I dad was essentially agnostic, my mom raised us as Neo-Pagans, and we ended up as pretty much an atheist family. When my dad died, recently as well, we had a similar ceremony. Read the obit, played some music, and then told stories. The fact that we played "Spirit in the Sky" was about as religious as it got (and that was kinda an inside joke). My dad hated preachy funerals, where instead of memorializing the dead, they told us we were all going to Hell. I made sure his was different.

Sorry for your loss.
You can unconditionally love someone and still turn them in. Especially to prevent something horrible from happening. I think it would be more loving to protect those other people and get your family member help (if only that's what prisons actually did).

Mr. Jillette, that is dark love. Dark love does not live in the brain, it lives in the depths of the heart. If you begin to understand it, it will lead you to why God allows suffering.
I love my sister dearly. She and I stood against the world, once. Now I am alone, too. But she will come back to me. And just because you are an atheist, doesn't mean you have to believe that when we die we disappear. There's no atheistic law against the idea that we go on, is there?

Hello: I`m mexican and i don´t understand the all story, but I deeply catch the last words. Recently my father died and form me, that love, that exactly same love that you talk about, is my biggest lost. I deal with his dead, but the fact that anybody in the rest of my life is ever going to love me as he did. I think that when two diferent people in two diferent countries finf out that they feel the same about this kind of pain, the path that they are following is not the wrong one.Mariana
