tucker carlson
This has probably happened to you every couple months or so.
You look up from what you're doing, otherwise occupied feeding the dog or paying your power bill, and you look up, and they'll be trying once again to make Roseanne Barr be quiet.
Shut up, Roseanne Barr!
You're a Nazi!
You're crazy!
It's not working!
Roseanne Barr's been in the public eye for almost 40 years, and amazingly...
She's more influential than ever, so we thought we would check in with her and see how she's doing.
Roseanne Barr, how are you?
roseanne barr
I'm great, Tucker.
How are you?
tucker carlson
You're obviously unbowed.
I can't remember where I was the other day, and someone was like, Roseanne Barr's a Nazi!
She's an anti-Semite!
I'm thinking, you can probably criticize her.
Probably not a Nazi or an anti-Semite.
roseanne barr
Probably not.
tucker carlson
So they canceled, famously, they canceled the resurgence of your show.
Launch of your show.
roseanne barr
Just like you, when it was number one.
Hey, don't their shareholders wonder why they would do that?
tucker carlson
I don't know how that spooky finance stuff works.
roseanne barr
I don't either.
tucker carlson
I've still got some questions, I will say that.
roseanne barr
Did you figure out, like I did, that it's really personal?
tucker carlson
Oh, it's always personal.
The thing about television is everything's personal on TV. It's about you.
roseanne barr
Yeah.
tucker carlson
So that's great when everyone's like, oh, you're Jesus!
But it's not so good when they're like, you're fired!
I don't take any of it personally, thank you, Kevin.
But you get fired in this very, very public way, become the center of the national debate over Trump, but you don't go away, and then all of a sudden I look up and you're everywhere.
How did that happen?
roseanne barr
I don't know how it happened.
I really don't.
tucker carlson
Did you expect to be doing this at this stage of your life?
roseanne barr
No.
Fascists, they don't like laughter, and they don't like discussion.
tucker carlson
Yes.
roseanne barr
Them are the two things they hate the most.
They might be on the right, and they might be on the left.
But if they can't laugh at their self, or anything, and they can't discuss civilly with someone that they disagree with, they gotta go.
They gotta move aside, because it's a whole new world now, you know?
We've got citizen journalists.
tucker carlson
Yes.
roseanne barr
And we have journalists such as yourself with a conscience who care about this country and what it means and how we have to do everything we can to save it at this late, late date.
tucker carlson
Late date.
roseanne barr
For all of us, hello?
unidentified
Yes.
roseanne barr
And stop buying in the bullshit.
You know, I said that to introduce...
The POTUS, the deep state bullshit.
tucker carlson
Actually, it's funny you mention that.
We have that clip.
roseanne barr
Really?
unidentified
Yes!
tucker carlson
Roseanne Barr, this is your life!
Here you are.
unidentified
Aren't we all fed up with the deep state bullshit?
And the bullshit!
We want Trump, the Magador, to kill that goddamn bull!
And the bullshit!
Kill that goddamn bull!
Okay. - Hey.
tucker carlson
Now, I'll just put the political analysis on hold for two seconds.
You're obviously enjoying that immensely.
roseanne barr
Oh, it was so fun!
It was so awesome, you know.
It's always fun to make people laugh and, you know, come alive.
tucker carlson
What do you think of Trump the guy?
You know him, obviously.
roseanne barr
What do you think of him?
Well, as I always say, he's the only guy in my Hollywood career that ever returned a favor.
He's the only one who ever returned a favor and gave me back more than I had given him.
I was always a stranger in a strange land, but it gave me a unique perspective.
And God gave me a unique perspective.
Like he was talking to me today, he's like, Rosanna, have you noticed what a gift I've given you by putting you in your lifetime to be alive in a world where the jokes just write themselves?
And I go, I'm grateful.
Thank you.
Because I do.
tucker carlson
Oh, yeah.
roseanne barr
It's just perfect for me.
unidentified
It's just perfect.
tucker carlson
So you're enjoying it, like things are collapsing, but you're enjoying it.
roseanne barr
But like you, like Virginia Woolf said, the job of the writer is to put the severed parts together, you know, to create the clear picture for the viewer or the reader.
That's what you do, too, so you know exactly what I'm talking about.
How fun is it to put those parts together, and you know those two wires have never gone together, never been allowed to go together, and they just start a friggin' huge, one spark sets the whole woods on fire, you know?
We're seeing it.
We're seeing people go, wow, I've been lied to my whole life every day.
tucker carlson
So what about the people that you worked with for so many years in the entertainment business?
Are any of them coming to these conclusions?
roseanne barr
No, I don't think so.
But, you know, once you're in that bubble, the bubble of show business or whatever bubble it is, your little secret society or club, you don't never come out of it.
The heart of America, we keep being denied to see the real Americans, the heroes of America.
I see them, though, because everywhere I go, I see them.
Those are the people that those nurses say, those nurses and doctors that, you know, refused to go along.
Those brave people in our armed forces who were kicked out because they understood that no government, least of all this one, has the right to force untested drugs on a captive population because that's nothing but fascism.
Fascism and Hitlerism and Nazism and Stalinism all mixed together.
Because, you know, this is exactly what Hitler would be like if he had computers.
