there's a real life roseanne barr who praised the president for his work against pimps.lus, the president has declared a war on amazon. up early today, tweeting about it again. he says amazon is bad for america. is he right? or is he picking on ceo jeff bezos because he owns "the washington post"? also, a golf star since age 2, one of the most famous people on earth and one of the least well known. but a new biography finally make us understand tiger woods as he prepares to tee off at this week's masters. i'll talk to one of the authors. >>> but first, one of the more interesting stories this week was the huge audience that the revival of "roseanne" attracted. when abc launched with two episodes tuesday night the show had an average of 17.7 million viewers in the first half hour, 18.6 million in the second. it's already been renewed for a second season. the story of a working class family of five that hasn't been on air since 1997 clearly struck a chord and the question is why? some will say that nostalgia is at play, but i discount that. the show did a strong 5.1 share

. >> there's roseanne conner, the character, roseanne barr, the real person.two. roseanne barr is known for retweeting and promoting right wing conspiracy theories. she's gone after david hogg. she's also been pictured in nazi paraphernalia. i've seen a lot of pushback on social media families. are people supporting both roseanne and the show? or just the actress? can people divide the two when they watch the show? >> i think it's a mixture of both. i'm sure some people are supporting the show because they relate to whether they find it funny. it was a successful show when it first came on the air. i think a lot of it is also people -- they support roseanne and, like you said, she is a vocal trump supporter and she does often tweet these really conspiracy theories, i think we can put it on the screen where she tweeted president trump has freed so many children held in bondage to pu agage to pimps al world. i kiss agree on some things but give him benefit of doubt for now. what she's referring to is this extremely fringe theory called the storm. it plays out in

cnn has learned that he actually spoke to roseanne barr on the phone yesterday, and our brian stelter with more on this. we know, of course, the president loves those big ratings. what do we know about this call? >> he called roseanne to thank her for the ratings and also for the support. they've been friends going back decades and she supported him during the campaign. that makes her aun usun unusuale in the entertainment industry. we all know the a-list stars have a liberal bent. so in living and dining rooms, their expressing the trump point of view. just to put this in context, if i launched a sitcom, and you launched a drama and you had 5 million viewers. that would be considered a hit. in programs these days, there's so much competition, so to see a show launch with 18 million viewers, yeah, people love reboots. they love a show coming back to life after 20 years. but there's also something going on about the show reflecting political diversity. >> yeah, because there is political diversity. i think it probably reflects, you know, when some folks go home for thanksgiving dinner

the president went off the cuff to talk about roseanne barr's sitcom, the second amendment, et cetera. we are not sure if this was part of the plan. these comments were the most surprising part of the president's speech in richfield, particularly because of the reaction we got from a number of administration officials. one senior official telling cnn, they are trying to figure out what the president meant by that remark. one official at the pentagon telling us they were caught off guard specifically because the united states doesn't have a determined policy, yet, for the future of syria. the president's words speak for themselves. read into that what you will. of course, this is noteworthy because the president, often, is criticized other leaders for telegraphing their moves, in ord words, telling opponents what they are planning to do. the president clearly did that yesterday. beyond that, it leads to a question of what happens next. the president has been critical of previous administrations for the role of the united states playing in iraq and leaving that country after war there.

to me roseanne barr was way trump before trump was trump. ran of nazi references if you follow her on twitter. >> yes. >> likes fast food. i don't say that to hate on her because when i watched that show as a kid it was refreshing because her house looked like the houses my friends had too and my house. it showed it a little bit dirty, far more relatable than the fancy things on full house. to me it's refreshing and necessary that we see honest depictions of american life. listen, it's funny. but i think everybody is getting way spun up about the ratings. this is a one-off. maybe some people were curious to find out why dan is still alive more than anything elks. let's see how it goes. it's a smart show, funny jokes. it's a honest depiction of life and maybe we need more of that. >> andre, the last word, because i got to get to the next block. sorry. go on. >> roseanne -- roseanne is in touch with americans that most americans know just like the president. she understands what hard working average folks are dealing with much unlike the other

"you wrote a book about liberal bias. go ahead and address that. >> it's not a conspiracy. it's not that they overtly dislike conservatives but basically, people are drawn to different kinds of businesses. liberals, by and large, not entirely, are drawn to the sitcom business. in that business, because of that bubble i just spoke about, they just think bashing trump is funny. i watched the first episode of "will & grace" when it came back. every ten seconds, there was a cheap attack on president bush. i think they don't do this show for america, they do it for their liberal talents that also live in this bubble. ratings or ideology? >> bill: sarah bernhardt was on msnbc. she had a very direct message for women who voted for president trump. listen here. >> i can't understand it. i don't know where it comes from. other than my you know, i think it's a couple of issues. either being under t
