tolerant and it's not in line with what the past has taught us. >> great to see you. >> we are out of time. tune in every night at 8, sean hannity is here. >> sean: for the first time since getting fired by abc over what was, well, in her own words, a tweet that is indefensible. roseanne barr sits down with us for a one on one interview in studio. it happened about an hour and a half ago. it was supposed to air an interview with speaker of the house. a u.s. military plane is en route to pick up the remains of some u.s. service men that were killed during the korean war. we'll keep you updated on that. but tonight, our interview with roseanne. some parts of controversial,

some offensive. consider that your viewer warning. after starting her career as a stand-up comedian, she became a household name. she starred in her very own sitcom on abc. she won an emmy, a golden globe and multiple other awards before she wrapped up after nine seasons. well, year after year, whenever roseanne barr went controversial, she sang, well, screeched the national anthem. she grabbed her crotch and spit. that was at a padres game. she posed as a cooking baking nazi. she said sarah palin was a slave. she compared republicans to pedophiles. she talks about her political transformation. practicing the catholic should

lose custody of their kids. 2012 she ran for president and lost in the green party primary. but roseanne barr made a huge comeback. a few months ago she spear headed the reboot of the hit show that bears her name. she is a politically incorrect matriarch. she tweeted this, quote, you can see this, muslim brotherhood, planet of the apes had a baby. she apologized many times, damage was done. the reboot was canceled within hours of that tweet. recently on her youtube page she had this to say about her tweet. we'll ask her about that. >> i'm trying to talk about

iran, trying to talk about the iran deal. >> you told me this 300 times. >> that's what my tweet was about. >> you have explained this. i [bleep] why! [bleep] >> sean: such a short time ago i sat down with roseanne. we begin with part 1. she needs no introduction. roseanne barr is with us. thanks for coming. >> thanks for having me, sean. >> sean: you sent this tweet out. >> yeah. actually, i was hacked. no, i'm kidding. >> sean: you haven't lost your sevens humor. i want to talk about your background and everything. i want to get to it. muslim brotherhood, planet of the apes, you are talking about

valley jarit. obviously, what were you thinking when you said that? i know you said people shouldn't defend you. >> i just didn't want to get into the whole game of it. that is a political tweet. and, you know, i have been on twitter for a long time, i'm always, let's put it this way, i walked away in 2012 and i ran for president of the socialist party. and i thought to myself it wasn't where my values were at after all and i began to read more and expand the little tiny bit of sanctioned news i used to read. i started reading alternate opinions and i learned more. so i corrected myself. and i told abc at the beginning, i will always defend israel.

i'm a jew. i also have family that lived there. >> sean: in israel. >> yeah. that is the tweet about asking for accountability from the previous administration about the iran deal. which valerie is the author of. >> sean: let's go back to you understand. >> now i do. >> sean: did you understand -- what do you understand? >> i don't understand a lot, to tell you the truth. the first thing was shock that they were saying it was racial when it's political. and that was a hard one to take. and then everybody started saying i was a racist, which is like the worst thing you can call a jewish person, especially

someone like me that grew up with holocaust survivors. i took a vow to my god that i would always fight extremism on either side, right or left. and for a long time i thought i was fighting it on the right by being really left. and then i just slowly woke up and saw that 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. and they trusted me so much, black people chose me, and i was humbled by that. and i ran on an anti-racist, one

in four of every african males are in prison. i'm very informed, i'm not, my comedy is political. >> sean: do you see now, in other words, i guess what i'm trying to ascertain, roseanne, is that the reaction was universal. >> well, it seemed that way. >> sean: well, in many ways it was. what do you see about it now? i mean, in other words, i know you tweeted out apologies. >> i apologized a lot. it's been two months. i feel that i have apologized and explained and asked for forgiveness and made recompense. that's part of my religion.

>> sean: you said that the rabb- >> there's four parts of being forgiven in order to come back into your own good graces. and i was so sad that people said it was racist. and then i went into the whole thing about the whole discussion of racism and that blew my mind. it's so much a part of what the show i was doing was about, why can they not see my work? and then i got messed up thinking in this world it seems as if words matter more than actions. but in the real life world, actions matter more than word and my actions over 30 years as an artist and comedian, i have always been against the abusive power towards all marginalized groups. now i feel like both the right and left have marginalized the middle.

it's too crazy. the thing that broke my heart the most, i have to say this, i have african american children in my family. >> sean: in your immediate family? >> yeah. and hispanic people. jews get around. i felt so bad for those kid. i loved them and i didn't want them to think of me like that. and i was so sad. and i'm so sad that anyone thinks that of me, but i'm not that person. and i was going through a lot of very hard time, you know. how would you like it to wish sitting in a room with 25 people who think trump is the worst thing that's ever happened to the united states? how would you like it, could you

do your job? >> sean: it happens to me every day. there are a lot of people that don't like what i say. >> in your circle? >> sean: i don't know if you read a lot about sean hannity. >> i do. people that work on your show are like that? >> sean: there's plenty of people that disagree with what i say and hate what i stand for. i signed up. i give strong opinions and some people disagree, but i have no problem with people disagreeing. >> i don't either. but that's what upset me so bad. i like to hear all sides. that's how i form a story. >> sean: i have a whole list of stuff you have said about republicans and catholics. >> listen, i hate everyone. >> sean: but, obviously, you are kidding. >> everybody deserves to be joked about. anybody who is in any kind of position of power deserves to

have a joke about them. if they can't laugh at themselves, that means something. if you can't laugh at yourself first before you start laughing at everybody else. >> sean: isn't that how you started your career, domestic godess, you started poking fun at yourself. >> to make comedy personal, it makes it funny. that's why people liked the roseanne show, people in their family had a loud, outspoken woman. that's why i was excited to come back to television, to show that family is next door to muslims who they don't agree with. that's what i brought to television and what kicked everybody's ass in the ratings.

and they can't take that away from me no matter what's happened. >> sean: there are a lot of people, roseanne, that are not on social media, maybe haven't read your apologies. >> they are smart. >> sean: well, you are off twitter forever? >> my kids took it away from me forever. >> sean: you could always get another phone. >> i did. >> sean: for those people though, i will put up some of the apologies you have tweeted out. there are still a lot of people that look at that comment and they think that you -- they cannot believe that you didn't know better. >> yeah, i know. >> sean: i want you to address that. address those people. >> i made a mistake, it cost me everything. my life's work. and i paid the price for it. but no, i did not know like she was like a lot of americans, including a lot of people of all

types, they didn't know either. >> sean: i read you said that. you had this crazy video this week. >> oh, i was so mad. i was filming this thing -- you know, my real apology which followed it. everybody was like well, you are not addressing this correctly. so i just lost it and started laughing. put it up there. >> sean: if valerie is watching? >> she isn't watching. >> sean: i want you to address her. maybe not just her, but maybe people in the community that are so outraged about it, i want you to address them with your heart and tell them. >> here's what i have to say. let's talk about it. let's really turn this into a

teachable moment. we need to talk about race and everything that's connected to it including not knowing that someone who looks like me, her skin tone is like mine, and i'm brown, i didn't know she was african-american. 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 and the reason they were so tight and such friends is because they don't like the idea of american exceptionalism. they like every country has its own culture and we should respect them and this and that. okay. that's kind of a globalist way of thinking. but i'm like i can talk to

people like that. but i don't think a state that kills guys and stones -- >> sean: talking about iraq? >> yeah. they have noters no rights, ames not like that. america is a place where i, a loud mouth old, gorgeous, jewish woman, comedian, am allowed freedom of speech. >> sean: is this the freedom of speech you wanted to use? >> of course, i look back and go come on, sean, get real. it cost me everything. no, i wish i worded it better. but i'm not going to let them tell me what i meant. that's what makes me so mad. i know myself and i will speak for myself. and i won't have any people who don't share my culture tell me what i meant. they have called me racist on the left for a long time ever

since i said that jewish people have a right to live in their ancestral homeland. that's racist, of which i used to be one of. but i don't want to be one of few. i want to be one of many. i like the whole thing about america, this is where we have the melting pot and speak to each other and we unite and get common things such as where in the hell did our tax money go. i mean, where did it go? and how can a president ship piles of cash to a country without going to congress. >> sean: you didn't say this in the beginning. >> i did, too. i'm on there every day talking about iran. >> sean: are you going to take one comment out of a conversation?

>> this is a continuing conversation about the rights of people in iran to throw off their overlords. >> sean: i'm listening to you, have you talked to valerie jarrett directly. >> i would say valerie, let's discuss this. don't say you know what i meant, i would like to make it clearer to you what i did mean. i would like to find a way past all that to discuss the issue at hand and to try to find common ground between us. >> sean: would you say sorry to her directly? >> well, i have. >> sean: have you talked to her? >> i haven't called her. >> sean: would you like to? >> i'm afraid she would start screaming. >> sean: if i had her number and handed the phone to you right now, what was the first thing you would say to her? >> do you want to do it?

i will call her. >> sean: if you did call her, i think it's the important thing, you want to talk about issues, this is a bigger picture, teachable moment, i would think the first thing, if it was me, i would say i want her to hear my voice say i am so sorry. and i know you have tweeted it and 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 have said i'm sorry for two months. >> sean: you want to say it directly to her? >> oh, yeah. you mean if she's on the phone? but if she's watching, i'm sorry you thought my tweet was racist, it wasn't. it was political. i'm sorry for the misunderstanding that caused my

ill-worded tweet. i'm sorry that you feel harmed and hurt. i never meant that. and 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 just talk about -- >> i would tell hershey's got to get a new hair cut. seriously. she needs a new hair cut. >> sean: people say that about me all the time. i would imagine you would say that about me. >> yeah, i would. yeah. >> sean: anything particular? >> the part needs to go over more toward this side. the part seems like it's in the middle too much. >> sean: let me ask this. this also impacted -- i know you tweeted out, this was the biggest -- i actually have the

numbers. after they watched with dvr viewing, 27 million people. >> of course, i want to apologize to all of them, too, and say you heard my explanation the first part of this show. i hope you will try to understand me. and accept my apologies for the part in this big misunderstanding. >> sean: let me ask you, you also did it like 2:30 in the morning? >> yeah. >> sean: were you drinking? >> yeah, i told you that. it was memorial day, i had two beers. >> sean: just two? >> i can't drink. two beers, huh-uh. >> sean: there is a whole other -- >> there was a lot of other physical things going on in my life, too. now, do you want me to talk about that? >> sean: well, i actually -- i read a lot about you.

i didn't know all of this. you have said in the past, you said once to larry king that you suffer from multiple personality disorder. >> i don't suffer from it anymore. i enjoy it. you said i do crazy things and you don't know you do or don't want to do. does that still happen in your life? >> well, i guess it does if you are drunk. >> sean: do you get drunk a lot? do you have substance abuse? >> no. i would love to develop it. drink what you could drink. >> sean: you said you can't drink. i take three kind of antidepressants every day. >> two kinds now. one is a blood pressure pill, so that's three. i take an antidepressant and a

blood pressure take and i take more antidepressant. >> sean: the read in the seattle times in 1994, your father abused you sexually, your mother psychologically, that you will cover yourself in ketchup, lie on the floor until roseanne cried because of allegations your parents -- >> no, i laid on the floor for a joke. when my mom came in she would think i would dead. >> sean: how old were you when you were sexually abused? >> now i have a different view of that. >> sean: you don't think you were sexually abused? >> i think i was emotionally abused. >> sean: you said your mother psychologically, your father sexually. >> my whole family is messed up. >> sean: you have said in

multiple interviews you have multiple personalities. you have had crazy moments, let's be honest. >> you should call a mental patient crazy. in fact, that's one funny thing that tom warner said, never call a crazy person crazy. because i have mental health issues, yeah. i had. >> sean: how bad had it gotten for you? >> bad. as bad as it gets. >> sean: were you ever institutionalized? >> honey, that's like going to the beach for me. i have been hospitalized a lot, yes, several times, yes. >> sean: in a lot of ways, i love comedians, i watched everyone from richard pryor, chris rock, i watched you, everybody. i may be way off base saying

that -- >> you are way off base. >> sean: thank you. the creative genius for comedians, the blessing is their curse. >> well, very close. and being a creative genius. >> sean: i'm serious. >> but i know i am. but anyway, i know i am. >> sean: you are a domestic goddess, understood. >> that part of your brain is close to the madness, they are very close. >> sean: when we come back, roseanne opens up very emotionally, honestly about her struggles with mental illness and more about this controversy, as we continue. are you ready to take your wifi to the next level?

interview with roseanne barr. do you think that other people inside you with multiple personalities that speak and you don't recognize it? >> not anymore. i fully integrated and i was n fully integrated at stanford university about 12 years ago. >> sean: was that a medicine that transform your life? >> no, therapy. like 20 years of it. >> sean: look, you have had a lot of controversy. >> i have done the work, i just have to pat myself on the back. i wanted to get better. this started with my son, he's 23. first theyimplanted six eggs. four of them took. i was so excited.

but then i started to lose them, you know. and they put me in this thingng where i absorbed them. and there was only one egg left there, it was kind of hanging, didn't know whether to come or go. they get me on this biofeedback. i want you to stay into this machine. >> sean: did it work? > yeah, it worked. but the deep spiritual thing of that, it started to heal all the part of me that were crazy and out of control. because i learned to focus and i learned to meditate and that helped me a lot with therapy ant medication. >> sean: and medication. you really embraced -- >> and a great shrink. i have been very religious since i was a little girl, did i say this that i grew up in an apartment building full of

holocaust survivors. every friday they would come over, my grandparents came over, they brought 50 or so survivors from the camp.ri >> sean: you had family in auschwitz? >> they all had tattoos. and they would say terrible things to me. i was only 3. and they would tell me the things. i mean, it was too much for my mind to handle. and then they would make me watch the trials. she need to know, it was little girls like this. >> sean: on tv? >> yeah, the trial. so that split me emotionally, deeply. it was a horror to me. it still is a horror to me. >> sean: a lot of evil in the world. >> that's what i was going to tell you, sean, but you were

going through this trash. i love you, sean. >> sean: i want you to tell your story. >> i go outside now, i was so scared to go outside, what everyone thinks of my race. i live on an island where it's all brown people. hell, you know. my daughter says every day people come in and they are like we know who your mom is, all these things liken that. i go out on the street and people just rush up to me to tell me they love me and don't think what happened was balanced to the other people that do worse things and say mean things that aren't political, but just mean. and i will tell you, it blew my mind, and i have never felt this kind of blow from people.

it has been overwhelming. it's just -- i just thank them. i tell them, if it wasn't for my fans, i wouldn't be walking around. it was just devastating. to be misunderstood is the worst thing. i want to sing that thing, oh, lord, please don't let me -- i have always wanted to sing. >> sean: i saw you sing the national anthem. >> shut up, that was not good. did you see my follow-up? ind did a follow-up, sean. >> sean: you grabbed your crotch and spit. >> that's what this stupid pitcher told me to do. it's like off a ship. i was trying to make him laugh. he said that would be so funny. so i did it. s and it wasn't funny. i learned a lesson, never take

advice from a pitcher. >> sean: youou really, it's important to you, i remember -- >> i want people to like me. i don't want member to hate me. i like them. >> sean: you wanted people -- this is what you said to me, you said this is not me. this is what you said. >> it's not me. >> sean: then you said to me, i want people to know who i really am, that's what you said to me. >> i know. >> sean: so here's -- there's going to be a lot of people because you are watchinpeoplewae tonight. tell people who you are. >> i'm a creative genius. this is not a good feeling for an artist to be feeling this way, and not a good feeling for a citizen. you call me racist, i don't accept it. i know who i am.

i'm not a racist. and the people who voted for trump they are not racist either. trump isn't a racist. we just have a different opinion. we all want the same thing though. we want people in the inner that are living in feces, my son goes to san francisco, i go up there. i don't just black and run my mouth, i live my beliefs. i try and i fail. but i try. i get back up and try again. >> sean: i don't want to interrupt you. >> it's not america. >> sean: you said i live around brown people. would you not say, why not say african-american people? >>n- i live around african-american people, too. i live in a real neighborhood, i

don't live behind gates with body guards. i live in a neighborhood with working people. i chose to do that. >> sean: i was going to ask you about these other controversies. >> i have made mistakes. i do it, when things are going too far right, i'm going to go a little left. when things are going too far left, i'm going right. i like balance in the middle. i like middle america, i like the middle class, i like the middle opinion that balances two extremes. most people in america think like that. >> sean: it's funny, i think a lot of people understand what motivates me. what motivates me in this 2016 presidential election for me was about what we call the forgotten men and women. >> absolutely. >> sean: a lot of people don't know, peopleeo that watch the sw regularly, know i was a paper boy at 8, dishwasher at 12,

cook, waiter, i painted houses, i hung wallpaper, framed, fell off a roof. i never thought i would be in i this position. i'm thankful for it every day. we had at the end of eight years of obama, more people on food stamps and a 51 year low home ownership rate. so it's not politics, republicans are weak. they are weak and spineless. >> i don't know. a lot of them are, there is only one party, they all golf together. they are not like on other sides. >> sean: not a lot. >> they are all taking the money, every side, both sides, they are taking the money. >> sean: it's a swamp. washington d.c. is a sewer. >> that's our money, that's the people's money.

>> sean: and roseanne talks about donald trump and so much more as we continue.

>> sean: i have more of my exclusive interview with roseanne barr. i look at youyour and look at yr

success, nine years as a top hit show and to come back in this environment where there's cable, hulu, netflix, everything else, you get this massive audience. tell the story when this allte went down with abc. >> which part? >> sean: they first called you, they asked you, first of all, to get rid of your twitter account. >> i said i'm never going to stop defending israel and the jewish people, that's me. i was raised that way. that's how i learned. it's very important to me, it's central to my life. so they said okay. anyway, this whole, i did what i did and they called me. they said what possible excuse could you have for this unforgivable and egregious tweet. and i said i -- what do you mean

exactly? >> sean: you didn't know. >> no. you could have knocked me overed with a feather.r. my boyfriend saw it. i go what? i thought she was middle eastern. >> sean: any comparison to -- >> compared to what? they lied about my tweet from day one. they said she used the word looks like. >> sean: you don't use politically correct terms. >> no. i'm not going to. it's sickening. >> sean: now that abc has gotten rid of it. america is going to hear you tonight. what is the future for roseanne barr? abc now kick starting basically the roseanne barr show. >> i want to tell you this. i walked away from this show, the fact that i had a contract which protected me from if i got in trouble with tweets.

>> sean: it said that in your contract? >> yeah. >> sean: and they didn't pay you? >> well, we can't talk about that. but i was allowed under my contract to have 24 hours to correct any mistake.4 i asked them to let me go on the view and that other show and explain and correct that ict didn't say what they were putting out there. they said no, you can't until the contract is ready, and that took weeks. anyway, i walked away. >> you felt bad for your staff. >> i didn't want anybody to lose their jobs. i'm for working people. that one stuck. i could fight this because they didn't give me the notice or chance to correct. i'm like no, it's going to be part of the repentance, i'm going to walk away. >> sean: you signed on this reboot without you. the conners? >> ah-huh. >> sean: did you have to sign off on that to allow the people

to work? >> yes. >> sean: you were glad to do it? >> i thought it was part of the, you know, what was put before me to do. i think god gives -- what god puts before me i do. i don't anymore try to argue or win, i just do what's in front of me. >> sean: part of this, to you, you want to make amends towards, i think it's recompense -- >> yeah, you have to give money. >> sean: recompense. >> money is the action you take in the physical world. >> sean: recompense is what? >> i can't say that, it's secret. you are not supposed to tell people what you do. >> sean: give us a hint. i think people should know. >> well, you know, i gave to

several things. which i do anyway. i gave a little bit more. and colleges.nd >> sean: help people? >> yeah. because i havees helped a lot of people go to college. i can't get a damn job, they are in debt, they are not really grateful for me. but i also have, you know, i 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, let's put it that way, and i have for years tried to help families there. and that's pine ridge indian reservation and rose bud indian reservation. i kindnd of have -- i expand my family. when i love people, i take themt

in, include them in my circle because family is not just about blood, it's about soul, yout know. >> sean: i still don't understand, did you adopt african-american children in your family? >> oh, no, i do. i have a dear friend whose son is my god son and they are african-american. man, it was hard, you know. he calls me right away. >> sean: what did he say? >> he said i love you know matter what you do. and i was like, man, i need to be understood here. ii never -- i mean, i just have to say this. if you think -- if people think, i will say it to them, if you think that at the height of my power and fame i would go black people look like, i mean, it's just, i mean, i'm not stupid.

and that's what they keep selling. now after they misquoted the tweet for weeks, now they don't include it and they go roseanne's racist tweet. they keep shoving it down everybody's throat.th i love all people, let's say that. i love everybody. i include everybody in my circle. i put my money where my mouth is because i'm not a racist. and i decided that this was going to move me to do my own interviews on my own youtube channel. i'm doing serious subjects and talking to interesting people who i don't 100% agree with, but we find common ground. i think that's what america need, that's what i was trying to do on my show. >> sean: a lot more with roseanne barr straight ahead as we continue. took for him

views? >> well, my experience in the green party and socialist parties, i just felt very marginalized there and i didn't belong because they don't like israel. and i was like what? this is the worst place on earth. i have been there, have you been there? it's as wonderful place. it'spp a wol wonderful place lie every place else with problems. i have a solution for it. i have always been saying this for like 20 years. i think that if grandmothers, arab grandmothers, jewish grandmothers, everyone who lives over there, grandmas, if we could get together and write up a grandmother's treaty, that would be the fastest way to solving problems. there is no child on this earth

that should go to sleep in fear and danger. >> sean: and hungry. >> we have enough money, we have enough everything, except love. >> sean: there is a lot of evil in the world. >> i wrote a whole book about that, evil. >> sean: liberal is for evil. >> get rid of your hate, get rid of your hate. you are supposed to hate evil. >> sean: i have an idea, i'm going to throw it out at you as i listen to you. obviously, you are very sincere in saying want to have a conversation. the country has never been this divided. >> it's stupid, we got to get our money back from both sides. >> sean: yeah, we do. >> you should go roseanne and friends show. just stand up, invite a guest and have a real conversation, that would sell out in theaters

around the country and i think it would be good to invite valerie jarrett to go with you. >> we could turn this into a really great teachable moment where there is a lot of synthesis, that's why you have conversations, so you can synthesize your ideas and come up with a solution. i'm tired of in solutions. >> sean: the country has gotteng better. i think he could cure cancer and gave every american $30 million, they would still hate him. >> i think they are coming around. his approval is going up. >> sean: you seem to have a tough -- i haven't asked you about tom arnold? >> did you say do i still love e
