We will warn you. Some will find it offensive. Roseanne barr became a household name starring in her own sitcom. A huge hit on abs. Abc. She won an emmy and golden globe before it wrapped up after 9 seasons. In 1990 she was booed off the field for her rendition of the nashlt. National anthem. She said sarah palin was a slave to right wingmen and compared all republicans to pedophiles. She floated the idea that practicing catholics should lose custody of their kids. In 2012 she ran to president in the green party primary. Early this year after sometime away from the spotlight. Roseanne barr made a huge comeback with the hit show that bears her name. It debuted with massive ratings. She played a trump supporting mom. The show was cancelled after she tweeted this about the former obama advisor. You can see it right there. That was an africanamerican woman. Now Roseanne Barr apologized. The roseanne show was cancelled after hours of that tweet. Roseanne barr said this about the controversy that followed. I am trying to talk about the iran deal. Thats what my tweet was about. [bleep], [bleep]. Sean i sat down with roseanne for her First National tv interview since her show was cancelled. We begin with part 1. Roseanne barr with us. Thanks for coming. Thanks for having me, sean. Sean you sent this tweet out . Yes. Actually i was hacked no, im kidding. [laughing]. Sean you have not lost your sense of humor. I want to talk about your background. Muslim brotherhood, planet of the apes. Talking about valerie . Yes. Sean and obviously what were you thinking when you said that. I know you said it. People should not defend you. I just didnt want to get into the whole theme of it. That is a political tweet. I have been on twitter for a long time. I am always lets put it this way. I walked away in 2012 and ran for president of the socialist party. I thought for myself it was not where my values were at afterall. I began to read more and expand the tiny bit of news i used to read. I read alternative opinions and learned more. I corrected myself. Now i live and i told abc this at the beginning, i will always be friends with israel. I am a jew and i have family that lives there. Sean in israel . Yes, thats a tweet about asking for accountability from the Previous Administration about the deal that valerie is the author of. That was in my head. Sean you do understand . Now i do. Sean what do you understand . Well, i dont understand a lot to tell you the truth. The first thing was shock that they were saying it was racial when its political. That was a hard one to take. Then everybody started saying i was a racist. Thats like the worst thing you can call a jewish person, especially one like me who grew up with holcast survivors. At age 3 i took a vow to my god they would always fight extremism on either side. Right or left. For a long time, i thought hives fighting it on the right by being really left. Then i woke up and saw both extremes are not where my values are. My values are in the middle. I believe that we have the right to ask for accountability for where our tax money goes. When i ran for president in 2012, i ran as the representative of the black caucus of the green party. They trusted me so much. Black people chose me. I was humbled by that. I ran on an antiracist platform. 1 in every 4 africanamerican males for prison for pot. I mean i am very informed. I am not i have always been political. My comedy is political. Sean do you see now in other words, the reaction was universal . Well, it seemed that way. Sean in many ways it was. What do you see about it now . In other words, i know you tweeted out apologies. Did you talk to people . I apologized a lot. Its been 2 months. I feel that i have apologized and explained and asked for forgiveness and made recompense. Thats part of my religion. Sean you said you talked to a rabbi . There are 4 parts to be forgiven to come back into your own good graces. I was so sad that people thought it was racist. I went into the whole discussion of racism and that blew my mind. Its so much a party of what the show i was doing was about. Then i got really messed up thinking in in world, it seems that words matter more an actions. In the real life world, actions matter more than words. My actions over 30 years as an artist and comedian, i always have been against the abuse of power to all marginalized group. Now i feel like the left and the right have marginalized the middle. Its too crazy. The thing that broke my heart the most, i have to say this is that i have africanamerican children in my family. Sean in your immediate family . Yes, and in my loving circle and asians and hispanic people. Jews get around. I felt so bad for those kids because i love them. I didnt want them to think of me like that. You know . I was so sad. I am so sad that anyone thinks that of me. I am not that person. I was going through a lot of very hard times. You know . How would you like it to be sitting in a room with 25 people who think trump is the worst thing that ever happened to the united states, how would you like it . Could you do your job . Sean it happens to me every day. Really . Sean yes, a lot of people dont like what i have to say. In your circle . Sean i dont know if you read a lot about sean hannity . I do. People that work on your show are like that . Sean plenty of people here disagree with every word i say and hate what i stand for. Absolutely, disagree with me. I give strong opinions. Some people disagree. I have no problem with people disagreeing. I dont either. Thats what upset me so badly. I like to hear all sides. Sean i have a list of stuff you said about republicans and catholics. I say that about everybody. I hate everyone equally. Sean you are kidding . Everybody deserves to be voked about. Joked about. Anybody in a position of power deserves to have a joke about them. If they cant laugh at themselves, that means something. If you cant laugh at yourself first before you start laughing at everybody that, means something. Sean you started your career by domestic goddess and you poke fun at yourself . I tell more jokes about myself than i do anybody else. To me comedy is very personal. Thats what makes it funny. Thats what people like the roseanne show because they had an aunt or a mom or a sister, somebody in their family was a loud, outspoken woman who loved her family. Thats why i was so excited to come back to television to show that family is also mult multiracial and lives next doors to muslims whom they dont agree with. Thats what i brought to television and we were back in the ratings. They cant take that away from me no matter what happened. Sean there are a lot of people who are not on social media. Maybe have not read your apologies . They are smart. Sean are you off twitter . My kids took away from me. Sean you could get another phone. I will put up the apologies you tweeted out. Still a lot of people look at that comment and they cant believe that you didnt know better. Yes, i know. Sean i want you to address those people. I made a mistake, obviously. It cost me everything. My lifes work. Everything. I made a mistake. I have paid the price for it. No, i didnt know like a lot of americans including a lot of people of all times, they didnt know either. Sean i read that you said that. You had this crazy video this week . Oh, i was so mad i was filming this thing, my real apology followed it. People was like you are not addressing this correctly. I lost and they started laughing. I said put it out there. Sean if valerie is watching now . She said she would not watch. Sean but she will hear about it. Address her and not just her, but people in the community who are so outraged about it. Address them from your heart and tell them. Heres what i have to say. Lets talk about it. Lets really turn this into a teachable moment. We need to talk about race and everything that is connected to it including not knowing that someone who looks like me, her skin tone is like mine and i am bro brown, i didnt know she was africanamerican. I assumed because she was from iran and lived in iran for such a long time and writes about how she and barack obama hung out for a long time. The reason they were such friends is because they dont like the idea of american exceptionalism. They like that every country has its own culture and we should respect them and this and that. Thats a globalist way of thinking. I can talk to people like that. I dont think a state that kills guys where people dont have Drinking Water and women have no rights, i dont think thats like america. America is not like that. America is a place where i a loud mouth, tall gorgeous jewish woman comedian is allowed freedom of speech. Sean is this the freedom of speech you wanted to use . I look back come on, sean, get really. It cost me everything. I wish i worded it better. But i wont let them tell me what i meant. That makes me mad. I wont have people who dont share my culture tell me what i meant. They called me racist on the left ever since i said the jewish people have a right to live in their homeland. If thats racism thats too bad to the far left, which i used to be one of. I dont want to boe one of a fe. I want to be one of many. I like the whole thing about america. This is where we have the melting pot. We speak to each other and unite such in where in the hell did our tax money go . Where did it go . How can a president give cash to another country without going through congress . Sean you didnt say this in the beginning this was about iran . I did too. I am on there every damn day. Sean this particular comment. Are you taking one comment out of a conversation. Sean i am not arguing with you. But thats what they this is the continuing conversation about the rights of people in iran to throw off their overlord. Sean have you talked to valerie directly . Valerie, lets discuss this. Dont assume you know what i meant. I think you dont know what i meant. I would like to make it clear to you what i did mean. I would like to discuss the issue at hand and find Common Ground between us. Sean would you like to say sorry to her directly . No, i have already. I have not called her. Sean would you like to . To call her . I am afraid she would start screaming and throw the phone down. Sean if i had her number and handed the phone to you . Do you . Do you want to do it . Sean no, we dont have her number. You want to talk about issues. This is a teachable moment. I would think the first thing you would want to do is i would want her to hear my voice and say i am so sorry. I know you tweeted it. I know you said it. But now that you have a very different perspective on the comments, i would assume you would want to start there. I already said i am sorry for 2 months. Sean i know but do you want to say it directly to her . Yes, if she was on the phone or something. Well, she is not. If she is watching. I am so sorry you thought i was racist and you thought my tweet was racist. Because it wasnt. It was political. I am sorry for the misunderstanding that caused by my illworded tweet. I am sorry that you feel harm and hurt. I never meant that. For that i apologize. I never meant to hurt anybody or say anything negative about an entire race of people which i think, 30 years of my work can attest to. Sean let me go beyond that and talk about i tell hershey needs a new haircut seriously. Sean people say that about me all the time. I imagine you would say that about me. Yes, i would. Sean anything in particular . Your part needs to go over more to the side. The part seems like its in the middle too much. Sean let me ask you this. This impacted and you tweeted out i have the numbers. After they watched, 27 Million People. Yes. I want to apologize to all of them too. You heard my explanation on the first part of this show. I hope you will try to understand me. And accept my apologies for the part in this statement and understand it. Sean you did it at 2 30 in the morning . Yes. Sean you were on ambiien . Yes. Sean were you drinking . Yes, i told you that. It was memorial day, i had 2 beers. I cant drink. Sean there is a whole other a lot of other physical things going in my life. Do you want me to talk about that . Sean well, i actually read a lot about it. I didnt know all of this. You have said in the past, to larry king, that you suffer from multiple personality disorder. I dont suffer from it anymore. I enjoy it now. Sean okay. You said that you just do crazy things and you dont really know you do or dont want to do. Does that still happen . Well, i guess it does. Sean do you get drunk a lot . No. I like drinking. Sean you wish you could dri drink. You said you cant drink . I have no tolerance. Sean i take 3 kinds of antidepressants every day . 2 kinds now. One is a Blood Pressure pill. Sean i read in the Seattle Times when you were promoting your book in 1994, your father abused you sexually and your mother psychologically. You would cover yourself in kets up and play dead . No, thats wrong. I put the kets up and laid on the floor. Sean how old were you when you were sexually abused . I have any different view of that. Sean now you dont think you were sexually abused . Well, i think psychologically. Everybody in my whole family is messed up. Sean serious question. You said you had multiple personalities. You have had crazy moments. Lets be honest. Well, you should not call a Mental Health patient crazy. One funny thing that tom arnold said never call a crazy person crazy. I have mentally health issues, yes. I had. Sean had bad had it gotten . Terrible. As bad as it gets. Sean were you ever instituti institutionali institutionalized . Thats like going to the beach for me. I have been hospitalized several times, yes. Sean i love comedians. I watched Richard Pryor and chris rock and you and everybody. I may be way off base saying this. That the Creative Genius for comedians, the blessing is their curse. Being a Creative Genius know i am. Anyway. [laughing]. Sean understood. That part of your psyche or brain is close to the madness. Very close. Sean when we come back, roseanne opens up emotionally about her struggles with Mental Illness and more about this controversy as we continue. Lets see why people everywhere are upgrading their water filter to zerowater. Start with water that has a lot of dissolved solids. Pour it through britas twostage filter. Dissolved solids remain .

No, not anymore. I fully integrated. I was fully integrated at Stanford University 12 years ago. Sean was that a medicine . No, it was therapy. Like 20 years of it. Sean you have had a lot of controversy. I have done the work. I have to pat myself on the back there. I wanted to get better. This happened to me when i was pregnant with my son. He is 23 and graduating from college. Very proud. First i implanted 6 eggs and 4 took. I was like oh my god. I was at Planet Hollywood and i told bruce willis i am having quadruplets. [bleep] that for a headline. Then i started to lose them. They put me in this thing where i absorbed them. There was only one egg left and it hanging. Didnt know whether to come or go. They got me on this biofeedback where i would say i want you to stay. Sean does that work . Yes, but the deep spiritual thing of that is started to fill all of the parts of me that were crazy and out of control. I learned to focus and meditate. That helped me a lot with therapy and medication. Sean you embraced it . I have always been religious since i was a little girl. Dis disay every friday people. Come to my grandparents apartment. They brought 50 or so survivors from the camp. Thats where i grew up. Every friday sean you had family in auschwitz . Yes, they all had tattoos. They would say terrible things to me. I was only 3 and they would tell me things. It was too much for my mind to handle. Then they would make me watch trials too. I was only 3. They said she needs to know. Little girls like her they did this to her. Sean that was on tv . Yes, the trials, yes. That hurt me emotionally deeply. It was a horror and still is a horror to me. Sean a lot of hatred . But so much love. Thats what i was going to tell you, sean, but you were going through this trash. No, you have been a good friend. Sean i want you to tell your story. I was so scared to go outside. Everyone thinks i am a racist. I live on an island that is all brown peep. People. My daughter said every day people come in and we know who your mom is. I would go out on the street and people would rush up to me to tell me they loved me. They dont think what happened was [inaudible] and the other people saying mean things that are not political but just mean. It blew my mind. I have never felt this kind of love from people. It has been overwhelming. Its just i just thank them. If it wasnt for my fans, i probably would not even be walking around. It was devastating. To be misunderstood is the worst thing. I want to sing that song. Oh, lord, please dont let me be m misunderstood. I have a band. Sean you sang the National Anthem . That wasnt good. Sean you grabbed your crotch and spit. Thats what the stupid pitcher told me to do. He said that would be so funny. I did it and it wasnt funny. Never take comedy advice from a pitcher. [laughing]. Sean hmmm. You really its important to you. I want people to like me. I dont want them to hate them. I like them. Sean you wanted people this is what you said to me. You said, this is not me. Its not me sean you said i want people to know who i really am. I know. Sean tell the people who you are. Well, i am a Creative Genius. This is not a good feeling for an artist to be treated this way. Its not a good feeling for a citizen either. I am somebody who cares about civil rights. I reject what you call me. You call me a racist. I dont accept it. I know who i am. I am not a racist. The people who voted for trump. They are know racists either. Trump is not a racist. Sorry. We have a different opinion. We all want the same thing, though. We want people in the inner cities living in feces. My son goes to school in san francisco. I go up there. I dont just blab and run my mouth. I live my beliefs. I want people to know that. I try. Of course i fail. But i try. I get back up and try again. Sean i dont want to interrupt you every second. You said i live around brown people. Would you not say africanAmerican People . I live around africanAmerican People too. I live in a real neighborhood. I dont live behind gates with body guards. I live in a real neighborhood of working people. I chose to do that. Sean i was going to ask you about the other controversies. I made a lot of mistakes. I live my life out loud. I do it when things are going too far right, i will go a little left. When things are going too far left, i go a little right. I like balance in the middle. I like middle america. I like the middle way. I like the middleclass. I like the middle opinion that balances 2 extremes. Most people in american, i think, think like that. Sean a lot of people misunderstand what motivates me. What motivates me in the 2016 president ial election for me was about the forgotten man. Absolutely. Sean a lot of people dont know people watch this show i was a paper boy at 8. Dishwasher at 12. Cook, bus boy, waiter, bartender. I painted houses and hung wallpaper and fell off a roof doing roofing. That was decades of my life. I never thought i would be in this position. I am very thankful for it every day. Those people at the 8 years of obama more people on food stamps and the worst recovery since the 40s and 50 year low homeownership rate and he doubled the national debt. Its not politics. Republicans are weak. And spineless. A lot of them. A lot of them are. They are one party. They all golf together. They are pocketing public money. They are all taking the money. Every side, both sides, they are taking the money. Sean washington, d. C. Is a sewer. Thats the peoples money. Sean and roseanne talks about donald trump and more as we continue. Sean more of my exclusive interview with Roseanne Barr. Look at your success i mean 9 years as a top hit show. Then to come back in this environment where there is cable and netflix and everything else. You get this massive audience. Tell the story when this all went down with abc. Which part . Sean when they first called you . They asked you first of all to get rid of your twitter account . I said in the beginning i will never stop defending israel and the jewish people. Thats me. I was raised that way. Its very important to me. Central to my life. So, they said okay. Anyway, i did what i did. Then they called me. They said what possible excuse could you have for this unforgivible and egregious tweet . I said what do you mean exactly . Sean you didnt know . No, you could have knocked me over with a feather. My boyfriend saw it. I thought she was middle eastern. Sean any comparison to compared to what . They said she said she looks like . I never used those words. Sean you dont use politi l politically correct terms . No, and i wont. Sean what is the future for Roseanne Barr . Abc is kick starting the Roseanne Barr show. I want to tell you this. I walked away from that show despite the fact i had a contract that protected me from getting in trouble with tweets. Sean they said that in your contract . Yes. Sean and they didnt pay you . Well, we cant talk about. Ist allowed under my contract to have 24 hours to correct any mistakes. I asked them to let me go on the view and other shows and explain and correct that i didnt say what they were putting out there. They said no, you cant until the contract is ready and that took weeks. Sean you felt bad about your staff . I didnt want to cause anybody to lose their jobs. I am for working people. I could fight this. No, its going to be part of the repentance. I will just walk away. Sean you signed off on this reboot without you . Yes. Sean did you have to sign off on that to allow those people to work . Yes. Sean you were glad to do it . I thought it was part of what was put before me to do. I always think what god puts before me, i do. I dont try to argue or win. I just do what is in front ever me. Sean you said you want to make amends towards recompense . Yes. Sean thats part of your faith. Money is the action you take in the physical world. Sean recompense in this case is . I cant say that because its secret. You are not supposed to tell people what you do. Sean give us a hint. [laughing]. Sean i think people should know. You know i i did several things which i do anyway. But i do a little bit more and collegeses. Sean to help people . Yes, because i helped a lot of people go to college. They cant get a job and they are in debt so they are not really grateful for me to do that. They wanted to go to the poorest place in america and see how i could help there. The poorest place in america the poorest place in the richest country on earth, lets put it that way. I have for years tried to help families there. Thats an indian reservation. I expand my family. When i love people, i take them in i include them in my circle. Family is not just about blood. Its about soul. Sean i dont understand. Did you adopt africanamerican children in your family . No, i do. I have a dear friend whose son is my godson and they are africanamerican. Man, its hard, you know . He called me right away. Sean what did he say . He said i love you no matter what you do. I was like, but, man, i need to be understood here. I just have to say this if people think, if you really think at the height of my power and my fame i would go black people look like i mean its just i am not stupid thats what they keep selling. Now after they misquoted the tweet for weeks. Now nay dont even include and go that racist tweet. They shove that down everybodys throat. I love all people. Lets say that. I love everybody. I include everybody in my circle. I put my money where my mouth is because i am not a racist. I decided this was going to move me to do my own interviews on my own youtube channel.

I like talking to people and discussing, what yall think of this . Sean you ran for president twice . Yeah. Sean obviously, you care a lot about these issues. Your politics have changed dramatically . Yeah, because i read more. Sean what changed you . What books . What shifted your political views . Well, my experience in the green party and socialist party i felt very marginalized there because they dont like israel. What this is the worst place on earth. Have you been there . Sean i am the biggest supporter of israel on television. Its a wonderful place with problems like every place else. I do a lot of drinking mean thinking and i have the solution for it. I have always said this for like 20 years. Jewish grandmothers and everyone who lives over there, if we could write up a grandmas treaty and present it to the power that would be the fifty fastest way to solve problems. There is no child on the earth that should go to sleep in fear and danger. Sean and hungry. We have enough everything in the world except love. Sean there is a lot of evil too. People say get rid of your hate. You are supposed to hate evil. Sean i have an idea. As i listen to you, you are very sincere in saying i want to have a conversation. I think the country has never been this divided. Its stupid we have to get our money back from both sides. We have to talk to each other. Sean you should go, roseanne and friends show. Stand up and invite a guest and have a real conversation. That would sellout in theaters across the country and invite valerie to go with you i would do. That we should turn this into a great teachable moment. Thats why you have conversations so you can synthesize your ideas and come up with a solution. I am tired of no solutions. Thats why i like trump. Because he is a solution guy. Sean the country has gotten better. I think if he cured cancer and gave every american 30 million they would still hate him. I think they are coming around. His stuff is coming up. His approval. Sean i havent asked you about tom arnold. Do you still love him . Do i still love him . Sean apparently not. Did he call you . Hell no. That was 25 years ago that was two husbands ago. Sean how many total . I am not keeping up. I am on my 4th one. This is my longest one. 16 years. I dont know why he still likes me but he does. Sean he calls you smoking. Because i wear a rubber glove and hat in the alley. He didnt know and i lied. On top of all of this other stuff, he opens up yahoo and there it i am smoking in my moms alley. He said because he knew i would kill him in me made me mad. Sweetheart, you lied to me about smoking, didnt you . Sean what did you say . Get out. Sean in my all my careers on television, there have been controversies and samantha still has her show. Bill mar got fired at abc. I said i am not in favor of boycotts. I think people when they make mistakes i think the American People are fair. I do too. Sean the American People are good. Forget the media. 28 million tuned into my show because they wanted to see something balanced for once. Every other show 24 7 is hate donald trump. Thats not going to help nothing. People want to hear the balance and the truth. Anything not based on facts and data and pure emotions, that aint right. Sean maybe you could do stand up with this a part of it. You stand up and then sit down and have a conversation with someone you disagree with. I have to tell you one thing before you kick me out. Sean i wont kick you out. I appreciate you being such a good friend to me. I found cigarette butts from when i was 13 and they were good. Sean you smoked them after all of these years later . Yes, and i thank you for the friendship. You helped me a lot and so did a lot of other people. I thank you for walking with me when i was in a real down place. Thank you. Sean more after this. Woman it felt great not having hepatitis c. Its like a load off my shoulders. I was just excited for it to be over. Harvoni is a revolutionary treatment for the most common type of chronic hepatitis c. Its been prescribed to more than a quarter Million People and is proven to cure up to 99 of patients who have had no prior treatment with 12 weeks. Certain patients can be cured with just 8 weeks of harvoni. Before starting harvoni your doctor will test to see if youve ever had hepatitis b which may flare up and cause serious liver problems during and after harvoni treatment. Tell your doctor if youve ever had hepatitis b, a liver transplant, other liver or kidney problems, hiv or any other medical conditions and about all the medicines you take including herbal supplements. Taking amiodarone with harvoni can cause a serious slowing of your heart rate. Common side effects of harvoni include tiredness, headache and weakness. Ready to let go of hep c . Ask your hep c specialist about harvoni. Why people everywhere are upgrading their water filter to zerowater. Start with water that has a lot of dissolved solids.
