Billy Bob Thornton didn’t hold back on Joe Rogan: “Who the hell wants to listen to an actor or musician talk about politics? Just accept your little award and f... off.” He quietly donates to children’s charities but refuses to virtue-signal on stage. He calls himself a “radical moderate” — strong opinions, no tribe. Joe agreed: we need a common-sense party that focuses on “what actually works” instead of “us versus them” tribal warfare. After elections, stop screaming “we’re winning!” or trashing the other side. Hope the winner does a good job for everyone. It’s rare, refreshing honesty in a world drowning in performative politics. When was the last time a celebrity (or anyone) talked politics and you actually thought “yeah, that makes sense”?

Actor and musician Billy Bob Thornton tells comedian Howie Mandel he isn't a fan of celebrity speeches at awards shows, especially when they suddenly promote causes like "saving the badgers." Thornton: "Like Ricky Gervais said, 'get your little award and f*ck off!'" Mandel: "What we do gives us a platform, but that platform, as you said, saving the badgers or telling people who to vote for...I mean, who the f*ck...people put some gravitas on people who are really good at pretending!...That shouldn't be who you look to for advice. But what we are experts in, just like the person that's listening, is being human. So if you could be open and share who you are, how you feel, how you cope—that's definitely going to do something." Thornton: "Yes...that...to me is way more important than an actor or actress or musician telling people, like you said, who to vote for because it's like, some guy's on the fence...and it's like, well, Dash Riprock said it on the Golden Globes, so I'm voting for...! I don't know anything about politics; I have no idea. And the stuff that I believe about it, I don't want to force it down somebody's throat." If only the rest of Hollywood got it.

Billy Bob Thornton doesn’t really get the credit he deserves as an actor. He’s got a lot of range if you think about it & look back at his career. Here he is next to the late Bill Paxton in A Simple Plan, a film I can’t say enough good things about. I love this fucking movie man.

Bill Maher: “I love Clint Eastwood… I would love to meet him… and just say, ‘Thank you for the entertainment.’ … They hate him in Hollywood because he’s sort of a Republican. It’s like, oh come on, really do you have to f*cking obsess about that?” Woody Harrelson: “I live in Texas … it’s all day long I’m meeting and hanging with Republicans. You just don’t talk about [politics]. Let’s just not talk about it. I don’t want to talk about Trump. I don’t want to talk about Biden.” “As you know, I’m an anarchist… I am. I don’t believe in government—governments f*cked.”

The View co-hosts Joy Behar and Sunny Hostin LOSE their MINDS on Landman actor Billy Bob Thornton telling celebrities to shut up about politics. Joy Behar: “Imagine bragging about how uninformed you are... No, ‘I don’t know anything about politics.’ You’re an American citizen, don’t you want to know? Don’t you read the paper?” Sunny Hostin: “I actually do think you have an obligation. I think we are at a crisis point in this country. I think democracy is participatory. I think when you have a platform, that means you have an outsized voice. And when you a platform I think that you have a responsibility to speak up about what’s going on in this county. And my view, silence is complicity. And every minute, every day, it’s getting closer. And every minute, every day we go closer to an autocracy in this country. We’re about to lose it. I think that people don’t seem to understand what’s going on.” Alyssa Farah Griffin: “A lot of this table criticized George Clooney when he wrote his [Joe] Biden op-ed. That is a celebrity using his voice, saying what he believes, it can’t just be when they agree with your position.”

The Man Who Wasn't There is a Coen Brothers film that never really gets talked about that much on this app. Billy Bob Thornton plays a disaffected barber in 1949 California who attempts to blackmail his wife (Frances McDormand) after suspecting her of two-timing him. Great film.

Joy Behar bashes actor Billy Bob Thornton for saying he doesn't want to force his politics on others. She demands celebrities "use your platform" to "have an influence." Sunny Hostin agrees saying America is "at a crisis point" with Trump and "silence is complicity": BILLY BOB THORNTON: I don’t know anything about politics. I have no idea. I mean - and the stuff I believe about it, I don't want to force it down somebody else's throat because I'm not an expert on that. [Cuts back to live] WHOOPI GOLDBERG: All right. JOY BEHAR: Yeah, imagine bragging about how uninformed you are. SUNNY HOSTIN: Yeah. BEHAR: You know? SARA HAINES: Well, I think he's saying it’s more ‘I'm not an expert, so my opinion -‘ BEHAR: ‘I don't know anything about politics.’ You've an American citizen. Don’t you watch the news? Don't you read the paper? Come on. HAINES: I do think the civic participation. Our vote is a privilege that so many have died for and fought for that to be participating in our political structure, you need to inform yourself enough to vote. I don't think that every celebrity needs to scream from the mountaintop what their thoughts are because I'd rather see them march door to door to recruit people voting and in your local government, helping people - BEHAR: No, but they have an influence. I mean, Springsteen right now and Robert de Niro have big audiences. [Crosstalk] [Applause] BEHAR (waving Haines off): And so does - Wait a minute! So does Jon Voight and Kid Rock. Okay? They have -- all of them have the right to speak out. HAINES: They do. [Crosstalk] BEHAR: Use your platform! Use it! HAINES: The only people applauding them though are people that agree with them. HOSTIN: I think you have an obligation. We are at a crisis point - BEHAR: That's right. HOSTIN: - in this country. I think democracy is participatory. I think when you have a platform, that means I have an outsized voice and when you have a platform, I think that you have a responsibility to speak up about what's going on in this country. And my view, silence is complicity. We need every single ally to speak out. BEHAR: And every minute, every day we’re getting closer - Every day we get closer to a autocracy in this country! HOSTIN: Correct. BEHAR: We're about to lose it! I think people don’t seem to understand what’s going on!
