groupthink. you can dvr it if you can figure it out., otherwise have a great night, we will see you tomorrow. good night from washington. ♪ >> welcome to the special edition of "hann ity." roseanne sat down with us. some parts of the sit-down are controversial. take a look. >> after starting her career, roseanne barr become a household name. she starred in her own sitcom, a huge hit on abc. she won an emmy, gold golden globe, and multiple other awards. year after year wherever she went controversial

effect, 1990 she was boo ed off at the field she sang -- maybe streak ed is a wetter word. she sang the national anthem, grabbed her crotch, and spit in 2009 she posed as a cooking baking nazi for a satirical nazi magazine. she said sarah palin was a slave to right-wing men. she floated the idea that practicing katlyn -- catholics should lose custody of their kids. in 2012 she ran for president. she lost to jill stein. she made a huge comeback a few months ago she spearheaded the reboot of the hit show that bares her name. it debuted with massive raising as she played a trump-supporting family

matriarch. after a few episodes, the show was canceled. she tweeted out. roseanne rightfully apologized many times. damage was tone. her reboot was canceled within hours of the tweet. she had this to say about the tweet and the controversy that follow ed. >> i'm trying to talk about iran and the iran deal. >> you told me this 300 times. >> that's what my tweet was about. >> i know. you've exlained this literally -- >> i thought it was lies [beep] >> such a short time ago i sat town with roseanne for her first interview since her show was

canceled. she needs no introduction. roseanne barr is with us thanks for coming. >> thanks for having me, sean. >>sean: all right. you sent this tweet out. >> yeah. i was cashed. i'm kidding. >> you haven't lost your sense of humor. you started out as a comedian. i want to get to it. muslim brotherhood, planet of the apes, you are talking about valerie jarrett. >> yeah. >>sean: and 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's a political tweet and, you know, i've been on twitter for a long time. i'm always -- let's put

it this way i walked a way in 2012 when i ran for president of the socialist party. i thought for myself it wasn't where my values were at after all. i began to read more and expand a little bit of sanction instead of the alternate opinions. i learned more. so i corrected myself. now i live, and i told abc this at the begin ning, i will always be friends to israel. i'm a jew. i also have families that live there. >> in israel? >> yeah. >> so that's a tweet about asking for accountability from the previous administration about the iran deal. which valerie is the author of. that was what was in my head. >>sean: okay. let's go back to -- you do understand? >> now i do.

>>sean: did you not understand when you tweeted it out? >> no. i was so shocked. >>sean: what do you understand? >> what, i don't understand a lot. the first thing was shock that they were say ing it was racial when it is political. and that was a hard one to take. and then everybody start ed saying i was a racist. which is like the worst thing that you could call a jewish person, especially one who is like me grew up with holocaust survivors. and at age three because of that fact, i took a vow to my god that i would always fight extremist on either side right or left. and for a long time, i thought i was fighting it on the right by being really left. 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. and 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. i was humbled by that. i ran on an anti-racist drug wars and what that means. you've got one in every four african-american males are in prison for pot and lesser. i mean it is just -- i'm very informed. i'm not -- i've always been political. my comedy is political. >>sean: do you see now? >> yeah. >>sean: 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 tweet ed out apologies. this is an opportunity to really talk to people >> i've apologized a lot it's been two months. i feel that i have apologizeed and explain ed. i asked for forgiveness and made repentants. there's four parts of being forgiven in order to come back into your own good graces. and i was so sad that people thought it was racist. and then i went into the whole thing about the whole discussion of racism and that blew my mind it is so much a part of what the show i was doing was about.

why can i not see my work. then i got really messed up thinking in this world it seems that the words matter more than actions. but in the real life world, actions matter more than words. and my actions over 30 years as an artist and a comedian, i've always been against the abusive power towards all marginalized groups. but now i feel like both the left and the right have marginalized the middle. it is just too crazy. and the thing that broke my heart the most, i have to say this, is that i have african-american children in my family. and in my loved circle. >>sean: your immediate family? >> yeah. and in my loving circle and asians and hispanic people. jews get around. let's put it like that. but i felt so bad for those kids. because i loved them. i didn't want them to think of me like that, you know?

and i know -- i was so sad. 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 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's 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: there are a lot of people that don't like what i have to say? >> in your circle? >>sean: oh, 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 around here that disagree with every word i say and disagree adamantly with me. you know, i signed up. i give strong opinions.

some people disagree. i have no problem with people disagreeing. here's what -- >> i don't either. but that's what upset me so badly. i like to hear all sides that's how i form a story. >>sean: oh, i have a whole list you said about republicans and catholics. >> i've said it about everybody. listen, i hate everyone. equality. >>sean: obviously you are kid ding. >> everybody deserves to be joked about. anybody in any position of power deserves to have a joke about them. if they can't laugh at themselves, then that means shotgun. if you can't laugh at yourself first before you start laughing at everybody else, that means something. >>sean: isn't that how you start ed by your career? domestic goddess? didn't you poke a lot of fun at yourself? >> i tell more jokes about myself than anybody else. to me comedy is personal that's what makes it fun ny. that's what made people

like the "roseanne show ." somebody in their family are loud and outspoken who loves her family. that was what i was so excited about to come back to television was to show that family is also multi-racial and lives next door to muslims who i guess they don't agree with. that was what i brought to television and what kicked everybody's be hind in the ratings. i guess that's what happened. >>sean: there are a lot of people not on social media and haven't read your apologied. >> yeah. they are smart. >>sean: well, are you off twitter forever? >> well, my kids took it away from me forever. >> you could always get another phone. >> i did. >>sean: for those people.

i'll put up some of the apologied. but 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. >>sean: i want you to address that. address those people. >> you know, i made a mistake. obviously it cost me everything. my life's work everything. i made a mistake. i've paid the price for it. but no, i didn't know she was -- like a lot of americans, including a lot of people of all types, they didn't know either. >>sean: i've read that you said that. you had the crazy video this week. what was -- what was -- >> oh, i was so mad. well, i was filming this thing to -- you know, my real apology which followed it. but i just -- everybody was like you are not addressing this correct ly. i just lost it. everybody started laugh ing. i'll put it up there. it was a joke.

>>sean: valerie jarrett is watch ing now? >> she said she wouldn't watch. >>sean: i want you to address her. because she was -- and maybe not just her, but maybe people in the community that are so outraged about it. i want you to address it from your heart. >> 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 also -- everything that is connected to it, includ ing 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 assume because she was , you know, 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 so tight and such friends is because they -- they don't like the idea of american exceptionalism. they like that every country has its own culture. we should respect them and this and that. okay. that's a globalist way of thinking. i don't think a state that kills gays and -- victims and is a brutal -- people don't even have drinking water and they have no rights, women have no rights. i don't think that's like america. america is not like that. america is a place where i, a loud mouth, old, gorgeous,

jewish woman, comedian, i'm allowed the freedom of speech. >>sean: is this the freedom of speech that you want to use? >> of course i'm a bat and go come on, sean, get real. it cost me everything. i wish i had 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. i will speak for myself. i won't have any people who don't share my culture tell me what i meant. you know, they called me racist on the left for a long time. ever since i said the jewish people have a right to live in their ancestral homeland. that's racism to the far left 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 a melting pot and we speak to each other,

and we unite and get common things such as where the in hell did our tax money go? i mean where did it go? and how can a president just ship cash to another country without that going through congress? >>sean: you didn't say this in the beginning. you didn't say it was about iran. >> i did too. i'm on there every damn day talking about iran for ten years. >>sean: the comment -- >> are you going to take one comment out of a conversation. >>sean: i'm not arguing with you. >> i'm just saying that's what they did. this is a continuing conversation about the rights of people in iran to throw off their overlord. >>sean: i guess when i'm listening to you, you talked to valerie jarrett directly? >> i would say this, let's discuss this. don't assume that you know what i meant. because i think you don't know what i meant. i would like to make it clear to you what i did mean. i would like to find a way past

all of that to really discuss the issue at hand and to try to find common ground between us. >>sean: do you want to say sorry to her directly? >> well, i have already. >>sean: directly? >> no, i haven't called her. >>sean: would you like to? >> to call her? you think she -- i'm afraid she would start screaming and throw the phone down. >>sean: if i had her number and handed the phone to you, what was the first thing you would say to her. >> do ya? do you want to do it? i'll call her if anybody has her number? >>sean: nope has her thunderstorm. if you did call her. you are saying you want to talk about issues and this is a bigger picture and teachable moment. i would think the first thing you would want to do is -- i would want her to hear my voice saying i'm so sorry. i know you've tweeted it. i know you've said it. but now that you have a very different perspective on the comments, i would assume you

would want to start there. >> well, i have already have said i'm sorry for two months. >>sean: i know. you would have to say directly to her? >> oh, yeah, if she's on the phone or something. yeah, well, she's not. if she's watching, i'm sorry that you thought i was racist and you thought my tweet was racist. it wasn't. it was political. and i'm sorry for the misunderstanding that caused my ill worded tweet. you know, i'm sorry that you feel harmed and hurt. i never meant that. and for that i apologize. i never meant to hurt think about. or say anything negative about an entire race of people which i think 30 years of my work to attest to. >>sean: let me go beyond that

and just talk about -- >> plus she's got to get a new haircut. i mean seriously. she needs a new haircut. >>sean: people say that about me all the time. i'm surprised -- i would imagine you say that about me. >> yeah. i would. a little bit. yeah. >>sean: anything. >> your part needs to go over more towards the side. the part is in the middle too much? >>sean: let me ask you this? this also impacted -- i know you tweeted out which is a whole -- this is the biggest -- i have the numbers. after they watched with dvr viewing 27 million people. i mean this is not -- >> of course. i want to apologize to all of them too. and say you've heard my explanation on the first part of the show. i hope you'll try to understand me. and accept my apologies for the part in your big

misunderstanding. >>sean: let me ask you, you did it at 2:30 in the morning. you were on ambien. were you drinking? >> yeah. i had memorial day. i had two beers. i can't drink. two beers. >>sean: okay. there's a whole other tissue. >> there was a whole lot of other physical things going on in my life. now do you want me to talk about that? >>sean: well -- i've actually read a lot about you. and it is -- i didn't know all of this. >> oh. >>sean: 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. >>sean: you don't? >> i enjoy it. >>sean: you enjoy it? >> now. >>sean: okay. and you said that you just do crazy things, and you don't really know you do or don't want

to do? does that ever happen in your life? >> no. i guess it does if you get drunk. >>sean: do you get drunk a lot? >> no. i would love to develop it though. i like drinking. >>sean: you like drinking. you wish you could. >> i know. i have no tolerance. >>sean: what about every day? >> two kinds now. i take a blood pressure bill. and an anti-depressant and a blood pressure pill. then i take more anti-depressants. >>sean: i read your father abused you and you would cover yourself to lie on the floor and play dead until little roseanne dried because of allegations your parents would deny -- >> no. that's wrong. i put the kids up on the floor

for a joke for when my mom came in. >>sean: how old were you when you were sexually abused? >> well, now i have a whole different view of that. >>sean: you don't think you were sexually abused? >> i think i was emotionally abused. and -- >> you said your mother psychologically and your father sexual. >> everybody in my whole family is messed up. >>sean: do you think you -- serious question. because you've said in multiple interviews that you had multiple personalities. the question is do you think that any of this plays into -- i have some loss. let's just be honest. >> you shouldn't call someone crazy. they had one funny thing that tom arnold said. never call a crazy person crazy. but i have mental health issues. yeah. >>sean: how are you -- how bad have this gotten for you?

>> as bad as it gets. >>sean: very emotionally, honestly about mental. it is all about controversy as we continue.

quadruplets. beat that for a headline. i was so excited. then i started to lose them, you know? and they put me in the thing where -- you -- i absurded -- absorbed them. my body absorbed them. there was one egg left. they didn't know if it was coming or going. they did me on the biofeedback where i would say i want your egg into this machine.

>>sean: did it work? >> yeah. it worked. but the -- the spiritual thing of that is it started to heal all the arts of me that were crazy and out of control. because i learned to focus. i learned to meditate. that helped me a lot. with therapy. and medication. >>sean: and medication. you really embraced that. >> and i had a great shrink. i've always been very religious since i was a little girl. did i say this? i grew up in apartment building full of holocaust survivors. every friday they would come over to my grandma's apartment. they found an apartment building. they brought 50 or so survivors from that camp. that's where i grew up. and every friday they don't come -- >>sean: you have family that was in auschwitz? >> yeah. they would say terrible things to me.

i was only three. they would tell me things. i mean it wasn't -- it was too much for my mind to handle. and then they would make me watch the ikeman trial. she needs to know. it was a little girls like her -- >>sean: on tv? >> yeah. the trial on tv. yeah. so that put me emotional and it cut me deeply. it was a horror to me. it still is. >>sean: a lot of evil. >> yeah. but there's so much love. you are going through all of this trash. when i go outside now, i was so scared to go outside. all right. you know, i live on an island where it is all brown people. oh, hell, you know, my daughter says every day people come in

and they are like we know who your mom is. all of these things like that. i go out on the street. people just rush up to me to tell me they loved me and they don't think more balance to the other people. that's the worst thing. and saying things that aren't political. but it is just me. i'll tell you it blew my mind. i got more -- i mean never with the kind of bluff. it has been overwhelming. it's just -- i just thank them. if it wasn't for my fans, i wouldn't be walking around. it is just devastating to be misunderstood. it is the worst thing. i want to sing that song. oh, lord, please don't let me -- i want to sing that.

i've always wanted -- >>sean: so you sing the national anthem? >> that wasn't good. did you see my follow up? i bet you didn't. you are in the news. i did a follow up, sean. i followed up that. >>sean: you grabbed your crotch and spit. >> that's what the stupid pitcher told me to do. and they are all -- they are like brats off of a ship. i was trying to make him laugh. i said that would be so funny. okay, i'll do it. i did it. it wasn't funny. i learned a lesson. never take comedy advice from a pitcher. >>sean: um -- you really -- it is important to you. >> i want people to like me. i don't want them 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. this is not me. >> that's not me. that's not the picture i painted.

>>sean: you said i want people to know who i really am. that's what you said to me. >> i know. >>sean: here is -- it is going to be a lot of people watching tonight. tell those people who you are. >> well, i'm a -- creative genius, and this is not a good feeling for an artist to be treated this way. it is not a good feeling for a citizen either. and here's who i am. i'm somebody who cares about civil rights. i regret what you call me. you call me racist. i don't accept it. i know who i am. i am not a racist. and the people who voted for trump, they are not racist either. and trump isn't a racist. sorry. but we just have a different opinion. we all want the same thing though. we want people in the inner city. i'm talking about going up there. i don't just blab and run my

mouth. i live my belief. i want people to know that. i live my belief. i try. of course i fail. but i try. i get back up and try again. >> i don't want to interrupt you. i want to speak in my own words. >> it is. it is not american. >>sean: you said i live around brown people. why not say african-american people? >> i live around african-american people too. i live in a real neighborhood. i don't live behind gates with bodyguards. i live in a real neighborhood with working people. i choose to do that. >>sean: i was going to ask. you know what? >> i make a lot of mistakes. i live my life out loud. you know, 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 to go a little right.

i like balance in the middle. i like middle america. i like the middle way. i like the middle class. i like the middle opinion that balances two extremes. most people in america, i think, think like that. >>sean: you know, it is funny. a lot of people -- i think a lot of people misunderstand what motivates me. what motivates me in the 2016 presidential election for me was about what we call the forgotten man. a lot of people don't know. some people that watch the show know i was a paper boy at eight, dishwasher at 12, cook, busboy, waiter, bartender, i fell off of a roof three stories after roofing. i never thought i would be in many position. i'm thankful for it. we had at the end of eight years after obama more on food stamps

and the worst recovery since the 40's and he doubled the national debt and accumulated more debt than any other president before him combined. it is not politicked because republicans are weak. they are weak and spainless. a lot of them . >> i don't know a lot of them are. there's only one party. they all golf together. they are not like on other sides. they are targeting public money. they are all taking the money. every side, both sides of them. they are taking the money. >>sean: they are swamped. washington, d.c. is a sewer. that's no doubt about it. >> that's our money. that's the permease money. >>sean: she talks about donald trump and so much more. ) ♪ ♪

beginning, i'm never going to stop defending israel. that's me. i was raised that way. that's how i learned. it is very important to be central to my life. >>sean: uh-huh. >> so they said okay. anyway this whole i did what i did. and then they called me. and they said what possible excuse did you have for this unforgivable and egregious tweet? i said -- i -- what do you mean exactly? >>sean: you didn't know? >> no. you couldn't nail a feather. my boyfriend saw it. what? i thought she was mideastern. anyway. >>sean: is it wrong to say everyone -- any comparisons to -- >> compared to what -- they've lied about my tweet from day one.

they said she said she looks like -- i never used the word looks like. >>sean: you don't use politically correct terms. >> i'm not going to either. because it is sickening. >>sean: what do you want. now that abc has gotten rid of it. america is going to hear you tonight. what's the future for roseanne barr? what do you want to have happen? abc is kick starting the rose anne barr show. >> i wanted to tell you this, i walked away from the show despite i had a contract that protected me from if i got in trouble with tweets. >>sean: it said that in your contract? >> no. >>sean: they didn't pay you? >> well, we can't talk about that. i was allowed under my contract to have 24 hours to correct any mistake. i asked them to let me go on "the view" and other shows and explain and correct, but i didn't say what they were putting out there. you know, they said, no, you can't until the contract is

ready. that took weeks. anyway i walked away. >>sean: you felt bad. i did see that. >> i didn't want anybody to lose their job. i'm for working people. that one really stuck. i'm not -- i could fight this. because they didn't give me the notices and the chance to correct. no. it is going to be part of the retention. i'm going to just walk away. >>sean: you sign off on the reboot without you. did you have to sign off on that to allow the people to work? >> yes. >>sean: you did? you were glad to do it? >> i thought it was harder being -- you know, what was put before me to do. i think god gives -- i always -- god puts before me i do. i don't anymore try to war or win. i just do what is in front of me. >>sean: part of this to you is you said you want to make amends

-- i think it is repentance. >> money is the action you take in the physical word. >>sean: what is it in this case? >> i can't say that. because it is secret. you are not supposed to tell people what you do. >>sean: give us a hint. so people know. i think people should know. >> well, you know, i -- -- here's several things. african-american things. yeah. which i do anyway. i gave more and colleges. >>sean: to help people? >> yeah. because i helped a lot of people go to college. and they can't get a damn job. so they are are not really grateful for me to do that. but -- i also have -- you know,

i wanted to go to the poorest place in america and see how i could help there. because, you know, the poorest place in america -- the poorest place in the richest country on earth, let's put it that way. and i have four years tried to help families there. and that's pine ridge, indian reservation, and rosebud indian reservation. i just expand my family. when i love people, i take them in as -- you know, i include them in my circle. family is not just about blood. it is about soul, you know? >>sean: i don't understand. did you adopt african-american children in your family. >> no. i do. i have a dear friend who is -- whose son is my god son and they are african-american.

and, man, it is hard, you know? he called me right away. >>sean: what did he say? >> he said i love you no matter what you do. and i was like, but, man, i need to be understood here. i never -- i just have to say this. if you think -- 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 it is just -- i wouldn't -- i'm not stupid. and that's what they keep selling. now they don't even -- after they misquoted the tweets, now they don't even include it. they just say it is a racist tweet. they keep shoving it down everybody's throat. i love everybody and include

everybody in hi sickle. i put my money where my mouth is because i'm snot -- i'm not a racist. i decided this is going to move me to do my own interviews on my youtube channel. i'm doing serious subjects and talking to interesting people who i don't 100% agree with. but we find common ground. that's what america needs. that's what i was trying to do on my show. >>sean: a lot more straight ahead as we continue.

>> sean: as we continue, more with roseanne >>sean: as we continue, more with roseanne barr. would you like to get back to the sitcom? >> only if there's nudity. >>sean: you are the only person on the show?

>> yeah. so far the network has refused. i like to talk and discuss it. what do you think of this? >>sean: you obviously cared enough. you ran for president twice. >> yeah. >>sean: obviously you care a lot about these issues. you are right. your politics have changed dramatically. >> yeah. because i read more. >>sean: like what changed you? what books? what shifted your political views? >> well, my experience in the green party and socialist parties i just felt very marginalized there and that i didn't belong because they don't like israel. and i was like what? this is the worst place on earth? i've been there. have you been there? it's not -- it's a wonderful place. >>sean: painting a picture of israel on television. >> it is a wonderful place. i put a lot of thinking into

solutions. i do a lot of drinking -- i mean thinking. i have a solution for it. and it is -- i've always been saying this for like 20 years. i think that if grandmothers -- arab grandmothers and jewish grandmothers, everyone who lives over there, grandma, if we could get together and write up a grandmas treaty and present it to power that would be the fastest way to solving problems. there's no children -- there's no child on the earth that should go through fear and danger. we have enough money to fix this. we have enough everything. except love. so i just -- i'm -- >>sean: there's a lot of evil in the world. you rejected that earlier. >> i wrote a whole book about that. evil. i'll send it to you. >>sean: deliver us from evil. >> you know how people say get rid of your hate. get rid of your hate. you are supposed to hate people.

>>sean: you know, i have an idea. i'm just going to throw it out as i listen to you. i think you are obviously very sincere saying i want to have a conversation. i think the country has never been this divided. >> and it is stupid. because we've got to get our money back from both sides. we have to talk to each other. yeah. >>sean: you should two, you know, roseanne and friends show. stand up and then invite a guest and have a real conversation. i think that would sell out in theaters all around the country. i think it would be good. invite valerie jarrett to go with you. >> i would do that. we could turn this into a really great teachable moment where there's a lot of census -- synthesis. that's why you have discussion. i'm tired of no solutions. that's why i like trump. i think he's a solution maker. >>sean: the country is dramatically better. i said on the air i think he
