- May 19, 1999, daytime TV talk show host Rosie O'Donnell ambushed guest Tom Selleck for his support of the NRA and demanded that he justify the freedom to buy assault weapons. It seems he had only intended to plug a movie, but, of course, he commanded the "debate" with reason and logic. As opposed to Rosie's irrational, emotionally driven tirade.
Tom Selleck is a gentleman who handled Rosie with more grace than I would have.
I agree. She didn't take a few seconds to listen to him. She was babbling. Really not polite. I can understand his frustration and why he felt uncomfortable there.
If everyone on the side of an issue could engage in dialogue with the decorum and class that Tom does, we would be a much more civil society. Any more people are not interested in speaking in facts or original thought, but instead are only interested in promoting their "side" by belittling the other side. The indoctrination by the elitists has been a complete success.
TOM IS A THEIF , THATS ALL I NEED TO KNOW ABOUT TOM.
Dick Tracy
Tom is an asshole
source?
Tom Selleck: Gentlemen!
Rosie O´Donell: GARBAGE!!!
moron sabatoged her own show?
@@DefundTheFringes Your "feelings" should not get in my way of owning an AR-15,..I like the way YOU people calling law abiding citizens "gun nuts",...I use to think like that Idiot Rosie,..then I was educated on guns, I don't own an AR-15, with that said an AR-15 for home defense is great for a woman because the AR-15 doesn't have the kick of a small hand gun in which a small hand gun kills more people than an AR-15,..and the AR in AR-15 stands for "ArmaLite rifle",...not "assault rifle"...most Idiots like Rosie don't know this....thanks to the democrats now wanting to Defund the police we have democrats lined up down the block buying guns, these democrats now know the police are not going to be there when they need them,.. police are for the aftermath asking other people "did you see or hear anything?"...good day and remember police are about 15 to 20 mins away and in that time the only person responsible for your safety; is yourself.
@@DefundTheFringes agreed w you up until the seemingly racist statement at the end lol
@@JohnnyBGood11 1. It’s not ppl’s “feelings” that are getting in the way of you owning a gun, it’s hundreds of lives taken for no reason that is getting in the way of you owning a gun. How YOU PEOPLE (lol) don’t understand this is mind boggling. That is why most ppl call you “gun nuts”, you talk all this shit about protecting your home & family but you would rather stick your erect penis into the barrel of a gun then sacrifice a single type of gun to save a hundred lives.
@@DefundTheFringes Mass shootings are terrible and should not void my rights if I choose to own an AR-15 or any other guns...I'm the only one responsible for my own safety..the police maybe 15/25 mins away in that time what am I suppose to do to the bad guy in my house??? tell them "time out" this is not fair you have a gun and I don't lets wait for the police....YOU A N, if YOU want you can sit around and be a victim, I'm not...I'm not going to be a sitting duck and say "I wish I have a gun now to defend myself"....you can play the victim it seems like you enjoy it....LOL...if it were up to you, would you want to have everyone turn in all of their guns in the United States A N?
Thank you Mr. Selleck for modeling patience and class.
I love how Selleck just quieted down near the end and let her burn herself out. He knew the game that was being played, and just wasn't gonna go for it.
I just love ❤️ him. He’s the Man!
He only he went on to promote his film. What a nutcase this O'Donnell is
@@michaeldavies7949 I lost respect for her from this point on. Do I support the nra? No but does it matter of someone does? No. O donnell was wrong for this
@@JamesDeanRiverawith all the violence I see in big cities, being NRA sounds pretty reasonable
Poor Tom, he is one of the few celebrities that still has class. It must have been a complete insult for her to act the way she did.
Tom Selleck was pretty awesome.
Ad victoriam
I know it's an old clip, but Tom Selleck STILL has it right on TARGET!
5 years later from ur comment what he said still stands
@@mjtch 1 month after your comment, still stands
@@rollafredrick9526 see you in 3 years when it still stands
team ROSIE. fuck this country
It still stands
All I see is a Rosie bully ... no manners and loads of cognitive dissonance
Loads of it! You are so right.
She is a such a bully,,such a harsh voice to go a long with it.. I might have walked off that stage..
Yup a bully that can’t stand up to anyone
She's a Zionist puppet
She doesn't grasp common sense and intelligence. She has a know it all mentality. You can't tell her anything because she thinks she's stubborn. Mr. Selleck was totally correct on this subject. He respectfully didn't take her s☆it.👍
Rosie showed her true obnoxious self promoting personality. This interview started her slow but continuous downfall. Tom is such a class act.
True that. She's a mess.
she is fun to laugh at :-)
Ben Shapiro knows how to handle her...unfortunately Tom does as well, but he was feeling cringey n uncomfortable the whole time,,his opinion of her will never be good after that..as it shouldn't
Howard Stern punished Rosie for this.
Tom Selleck took the high road in the conversation, had she had Ted Nugent on her show she probably would have left the stage crying after he was done with her!
True that. Nugent would taken her apart. She got off easy.
Lol that draft dodging pants shitter.... Yea what a tough guy... He's a pussy lol
After Uncle Teddy was done with her? That man is INSANE He has said Obama should be shot, and Dems in general should be shot He is certifiable
Mr. Selleck is a class act!
O no he's definitely not
Tom selleck how dare u think guns are alright you are not a very humane man either guns being aĺlowed to be sold to anyone is bad destructive and will kill all humanity
@@marymccarthy1850guns aren't sold to just anyone. What do u think is going to happen if the government takes away guns? They will take away guns from the law abiding citizens and the bads guys will still have them illegally and the good people will be in more danger. They tried to take away alcohol and the bad people still sold it, they made drugs Illegal and the bad people still sell drugs and it kills so many
Tom Selleck is one classy guy.
I thought he was as classy as he could possibly be.
He seemed like a snowflake
Classy? He was stupid. Rosue outsmarted him on all counts. Guns are still a major issue in america and clearly the educational system as you cant realize this
She nailed his ass. He represents every one of these ignorant motherfuckers they never have a rational or intelligent or reasonable answer for anything. Because they’re narcissistic sociopaths who try and use the Constitution to justify their archaic racist stronghold on power. Fuck them all.
@@bobbydickenson6532 it wasn't aware that minorities couldn't own a firearm.
It appears to be a “law” that the Left can never have a civil conversation without it turning into a lopsided debate. Civilly has left the building.
What was she thinking? She was so rude. You could tell she realized her mistake as she started profusely appologizing at the end. she said she wasn't attacking him but I felt attacked and it wasn't even me sitting there.
He did the right thing, just point out how awkward it was and how the audience clearly wasn't enjoying it and how he was only there to plug is movie, not to have a gun debate.
Rosie is rude to her guest Tom, argues, puts words in his mouth, interrupts, distorts what he’s trying to say. He was very gracious and behaved like a gentleman.
Selleck conducted himself very well considered he was ambushed
AUgrad00 That's the typical liberal way-talk over and above the other and not let the other speak.
My opinion of Tom Selleck went up tremendously after viewing this. He was incredibly gracious while she was incredibly idiotic and rude.
I agree!!! Tom Selleck is good and smart. Rosie O’Donnell is stupid, mean and fat.
Indeed. While I may not agree with his views, it was wrong what Rosie did
This is a real man. When a loud mouth person is so one sided and yelling at him, he kept his cool. I only wish that I could do the same!
Tom sucks. Rosie Rules.
Real men make a mockery of mass shootings?
As someone who agrees with sensible gun laws she ambushed him. Pure and simple.
In hindsight, Tom should have brought up the fact that at the time, Rosie and Penny Marshall were doing TV ads (being "spokespeople") for KMart, which was then the largest retailer of firearms in the country.
Agreed, but when you get ambushed like that, you're intsantly pissed off and I'm sure Tom Selleck's biggest concern in this interview was just keeping his cool.
I don't care what your views on guns are. Rosie was being a snob on here and Tom did a great job keeping his cool.
I'm really amazed she wasn't fired after this interview! Tom really kept it together kudos to him!
I agree. At the time this aired I was a huge fan of both. I was also more left leaning about gun control. But Tom won me over here. Her hysteria and rudeness and lack of knowledge turned me right off of her. Never watched her show again.
She put him in his place. SNOWFLAKE . he had NO ANSWER regarding the assault weapons.. and here we are 20 plus yrs later and NOTHING HAS BEEN DONE.. same old same old NO IDEAS no solutions from the far right gun nuts as yourself....
This was like a month after columbine. Damn right she should've been a snob
And she had every right to be that upset. Children died.
I got a DUI last year but it was the cars fault.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Does the car have an "automatic" transmission? ...I just bet it does! What about any other "upgrades" or "add ons?" Do you carry an extra container of gasoline...ever? Bad, bad car! (LoL!!)
This is true still the cops never Believe me.😂
Your statement is 15 years too early. 🤖🚗
Here’s the thing ya fuckin idiot, a gun if properly handled , is still a tool of killing. A vehicle is not. What a moronic thing to say. But it speaks volumes to the state of the American public. You want a gun so bad ur willing to
Give everything up to keep it. Ps why didn’t you guys pull out the glocks to stop the planes on 9/11? All those cc carries and no one did shit? You see the point ? Prolly not cuz ur a moron
You go TOM I applaud you sir!!!
Lov the eye roll almost at the end from Selleck ! Salute!:)
wow, Tom Selleck was so chill. Handled himself so well.
He sure was, there are lot of celebrities who would of walked off.
Yeah, I remember one media headline referred to this exchange as a "shouting match", but he only briefly raised his voice one time out of frustration, but he was hardly shouting at her. And since loud is that hag's default volume, it's hard to tell if she was shouting at him or not.
Funny I've never seen a more textbook example of mansplaining
Very much agree! Rosie is so pathetic! I am glad she is gone
A couple of things here.
1. Rosie was on the board of K-Mart, which sells guns.
2. Rosie's guards apply for gun permits to protect her.
Wow. I think what amazes me the most is this exact same conversation goes on in parts of the Internet, today. And take any issue really, you have one side yelling and screaming and the other being calm, collected. You could see on his face, he was pissed, but he didn't lose control of himself.
Tom Selleck is a class act.
So nice of her to discuss his movie for 2 seconds at the end LOL. Classless.
Like a lot of TV hosts, she is not pragmatic, and is totally pushing her agenda.
Tom Selleck was very calm, cool and collected. Too bad she never let him plug his movie, which is why he was there. Tom is a great man, actor, father and proud American.
Tom Selleck's a true gentleman Rosie should stick to what she knows best... chasing other women!!!!
And eating herself to death.
Red Faux oh yes of course I should have put that😂😂😂
Slick Mic But rarely catching them!
geo-george2 lmao!😂
i would RUN FROM Her!...FAR AWAY!
Tom Selleck is a class act. Rosie O'Donnell is not.
Conservatives in general are class acts compared to liberals
Tom Selleck is a coward who was plugging a movie to take your money. Btw he WAS a spokesperson for the NRA so he’s a liar too.
Wow, Tom really kept his cool. Classy guy and he made a great point.
Reflexez It can be befuddling arguing with a moron like Rosie who calls a tech-9 and assault rifle and thinks that assault weapons can shoot faster than any other semi-auto...
Reflexez To be honest I didn't even watch the whole video. But he seemed pretty cool and collected for the part I watched :)
Reflexez Tom kept his cool...he was simply frustrated after awhile because she couldn't understand anything other than her own rhetoric. He voiced his views and she kept wanting to argue with him. She should have let it go much sooner. He came on the show to plug a movie, not talk about the NRA. That was HER agenda, and again, she should have let it go after he offered his own views. He brought up a couple of good questions about our society.
Tom Selleck is a bigger star than Rosie ever dreamed of
This was the day I lost complete respect fir Rosie O’Donnell! You don’t just bring up a guest, and unbeknownst to him, just start grilling and bullying that guest! Coward move
I said it then, and, I say it NOW. Rosie, when you give up the guns that ALL of your guards, protectors, whatever you call them, that are watching over you and your family, I will too. You and your family are not anymore important, then MINE!
*than
Oh, and the second amendment was just for "muskets", but lets not forget that is EXACTLY what the military had at the time too. If the government wants to go back to that, and all the criminals only carry muzzle loaders, then I have no problem defending my home with one.
Here's how I really shine dumb ass liberals on when they use the musket debate. I say well freedom of the press used to be a pen and paper, there were no television or radio stations back in the 1700's.
Nowhere does it say muskets. You are making that up to fit your agenda.
Also back in that time milita ( now national guard) was everyday people protecting there homes. Admiral Yamamoto didn't want to invade the us he believed that the citizens in the us had more guns than than grass. Guns aren't the problem. Guns in a country help out more than not and even if you did ban guns.... You really think a criminal is going to toss his gun away? You can still get a gun if we did, in Britain where guns are illegal they still have problems with gun related crime.
10-4 Copy That Mr. M
Rosie O’Donnell has one big regret.
Days before the launch of “The Rosie Show” on the struggling OWN network, the controversial talk-show host says she is still kicking herself over a famous, televised ambush of Tom Selleck.
“In hindsight, if I had to redo [it], I would do it differently,” she admits.
He is “a kind man, who, for the rest of his life, has to be associated with me and that one event.”
Don't need to worry about Tom, he didn't come off as the pushy raving lunatic...(or maybe THAT is what you really regret)...
Personally, I just love the way Tom Selleck graciously delivered knock down punch right in her chops! Thank you Mr Selleck...
Ooh…….can you imagine these two nowadays? If the show were on nowadays they would be in an ambush over [our previous prez] aka Satan? 🥺😢
Tom Selleck rules!
Tom Selleck you are amazing. How well he conducted himself in spite of her madness!
What an awful woman that Rosie O’Donnell is! She brought Tom onto her show to malign him, and not to talk about his new movie at all which is what he was there for. Pretty low Rosie.
Holy cow, I always liked Tom Selleck, but this garners a lot of respect from me. He is well-spoken, intelligent, respectful, and eloquent. “You’re carefully skirting the issue. It’s an act of moral vanity, Rosie, to assume that someone who disagrees with your political agenda to solve our problems cares any less…” you sir, are really incredible.
I loved that line too. Perfect response! She was just horrible to him, omg!
She is unbelievable. How ignorant to treat her guest like she did.
"Tec-9 assault rifle"
These are the people trying to lecture us on "sensible gun laws". They don't even know what a gun is.
He’s so sensible and reasonable in his response… Rosie’s not even listening , just a yippy dog with her talking points and wants to hold him accountable like he’s in charge of the laws.. and she says “You can’t say there shouldn’t be responsibility for gun owners..” He literally never said that. She says he can’t do an ad for the NRA without supporting things she made believed they support, meanwhile she’s on a network television show..
"'You can’t say there shouldn’t be responsibility for gun owners..' He literally never said that."
She also didn't, by the way. She said "guns", not "gun owners".
He was more gracious than she deserved.
Tom selleck is all chilled out and Rosie O Donnell is flipping out
Because she could foresee what was going to happen and she was correct .
Typical Liberal she is
Selleck seems super thoughtful and smart in how he talks about this.
And this is when I became a big Tom Selleck fan. Always liked him from Magnum PI but this made me a fan
A gun on its own is as harmless as a loaf of bread it only becomes dangerous when it gets in the hands of some fool who wants to kill somebody outlaw these fools and leave the guns alone
I never really gave Tom Selleck a second thought before but how he handled himself in this interview really made me respect him.
This caused the death of her show
and her career
I'm more in love with him now then ever before!!!
Rosie only cared about pushing her beliefs on Tom and when he refused to accept them she got belligerent.
It's almost unreal to believe it these days, but back then, Rosie was America's sweetheart. This is the beginning of what quickly changed all that. She lost a lot of viewers after this interview.
+Batman8657
that cunt Meryl Streep wants to take on the NRA
her heart goes out to the kids
where was her heart the night she applauded Roman Polanski ?
+BRAD PITT oh don't u know? They in Hollywood r royalty.
She lost a lot of veiwers after this show but did not lose something more important ,her weight.
Tom Selleck is the man!
Kenneth Hill And Gary Sinise,and Kelsey Grammer too!
Rosie O Donnell was so full of rage at Tom - he was trying to have a coherent discussion but because she disagrees with him she won't let him speak. She asks the questions and as soon as he's about to reply she cuts him off. I hate when people do this in any respect.
I saw this live when I was a kid. I was probably only 12 and I’m now 30. I still remember it like it was yesterday.
I never knew Tom Selleck was as bright and well mannered as he proves himself to be here.
How distasteful. Rosie should know better than to invite someone on her show than bagger and insult them for having a difference of opinion.
I've think seen your comments around other videos....I always want to applaud and say..."Yeah! What he said!"
+andcheeky2 ......Well it's nice to know their are people who embrace logic and reason.
Jack Westmoreland Sad to say, logic and reason seem to be becoming more and more rare...not just online, but in real life.
Merry Christmas :-)
*BADGER*
Thats,what liberal's do
She wants to register cars and guns but not voters 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you Tom for being so eloquent and grace full.
She doesn't know what an assault rifle is.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS AN ASSAULT RIFLE.. "ASSAULT" IS AN ACTION... an inanimate object cannot "assault" anything !
justin case actually there is lol, its assult weapon which is a stupid made up term by the left to try and scare people away from guns
I never would have though Magnum PI would be so eloquent. He definitely handled himself with grace and had very thoughtful responses... The other person seemed to be playing on emotions... Well done Tom!
Weird. She attacks Tom Selleck for doing an ad for the NRA but she welcomes Tom Cruise with open arms("Tommy!!!") when he came on her show the same year pushing "Mission Impossible 2", the most violent movie of that year.
That’s what really cracks me up about some of these action movie stars in their movies they walk around with machine guns and every gun you can think of but whenever it comes to the real thing their against them lol
She was in the closet. The entire Tom Cruise thing was her pretending to have a crush on him.
Even the couple of times when Tom Selleck couldn't help but roll his eyes in response to the sputum flowing from Rosie O's mouth, he was a perfect gentleman in the way he contended with Rosie. He never raised his voice and it remains calm, even, and non commbattle. What was Rosie trying to prove, who was wearing the pants that day? Idk, I felt sorry for Tom Selleck having to sit there thru that awkward conversation. Out of the two, Mr. Selleck was clearly the more reasonable human being...
this is why Rosie is a has been...she had everything and threw it away because of her intolerance
Rosie and Yoko Ono should be forced to live on an island in the South Pacific.
+MechanicalAnimal What did the South Pacific ever do to deserve that?
+AresKrl lmao. haha. i hate rosie and yoko. johns first love was paul (no homo). but yeah tom is awesome. trump 2016.
Ha ha your comment made my day! lol
MechanicalAnimal yeah when they ran out of food she could eat Yoko
Robert Schaffer thanks for the vision 😁😁😁
Individual liberty matters, thank you Tom Sellick. There is no such thing as an assault weapon.
I think that Tom Selleck is an amazingly awesome man
This interview's legendary now. I'd never seen it before. Major kudos to Selleck for his calm in the face of O'Donnell's shrill, boorish, rude behavior. Every time Tom tried to reply she interrupted him and continued to do this throughout. That kind of crap is fine for the likes of a Rush Limbaugh show or any show on FOX (O'Reilly or a Hannity) or a Bill Maher show, as interrupting and shouting over each other and insulting their guests are de rigueur (and rational, thoughtful people avoid those shows, liberal or conservative).
But Tom was there to discuss his and his fellow actors' new movie and O'Donnell chose to be rude to her guest. He couldn't get a word in edge-wise and the obvious sense of exasperation he had with her rudeness and the futility in trying to talk "with" her (where each party allows the other to state their case WITHOUT boorish interruption) was so very evident on his face. Yet throughout he remained civilized and a gentleman to her uncivilized boor.
No wonder she has the reputation she does now and why she just was fired from The View. She just can't play well with others. Once again, major kudos for the incredible restraint and good grace of Tom Selleck, one of the very few really decent, civilized, people in the entertainment industry,
I concur. I'm glad she is of the view. If she is like this on TV, I can only imagine what her soon to be exwife goes through.
She doesn't seem to have an issue with her ARMED Bodyguards! SMH
I admire Tom Selleck.
Who doesn't love Tom Selleck?
Woke Feminists
He played this beautifully! She looked like a complete ass even when she was apologizing to him.
I forgot why Tom was initially on the set to do because this subject came up….he must’ve been so embarrassed 😞
I honestly cant believe he kept himself together. My head was about to explode listening to this. Amazing job Tom Selleck. talk about a blind side attack.
He didn't run off stage to show is he's a bigger person, instead he wanted to be a voice for those who believe in 2nd ammendment.
Tec 9 assault rifle? What
6:52 By this point Tom seemed genuinely annoyed, and rightfully so.
tom selleck is the man for not walking out of the interview.
That was a low of Rosey to do. From the get go, she had no intention of discussing the movie. That personal and I am glad she was fired and her show was cancelled.
I notice there is a jabba the hutt figure on her desk, exactly what she is.
Seriouscat96
I believe it was carved in her image.
magnetothewhite I’d rather shag the sharlac than Rosie O’Donnell
Tom handled it classy.
The fact day is Rosie o Donald attack Tom Selleck on something he didn't come on the show to talk about. Rosie you're not going to get anyone to come around to your way of thinking. And furthermore Rosie who cares what do you think.
That's why Rosie doesn't have a show anymore. No common sense. Thank you Tom Selleck for your eloquence in the face of stupidity.
why does she keep touching him???? back up!!!!
She wants more attention than hes giving her
She brings him onto her show...to attack him. How’s that career going, Rosie?
Rosie is a 🤡
I despise when actors, or indeed anyone are lured into an interview on false pretenses only to be ambushed.
It was clearly planned, and Tom had no clue before hand that he was going to be essentially appointed NRA spokesman at the drop of a hat.
Dishonest and despicable.
Tom did well though. Calm, rational, measured responses and just enough annoyance at the ambush to send a message.
Tom Selleck was a class act here. I love how he kept his cool the whole time.
Its okay for her bodyguards to carry guns… They have special rights and privileges over other citizens?
TOM SELLECK HAS CLASS AND HANDLED HER BETTER THEN I WOULD OF! SHE IS A REAL LOW LIFE PIG!!
This was the interview, that caused Rosie O,Oink to lose her show.
This was one of the first examples of the chip she has on her shoulder, its just kept going down hill from there.
And this how Rosie lost her show and her job on the view she can't shut up.
Rosie and Penny Marshall did commercials for I believe K-Mart. They sold weapons and ammo at K-Mart. After this assault on Tom Selleck, Rosie had to stop promoting a store that sold weapons. Talk about the pot calling the kettle black. I lost all respect for her, and never watched her show again. Tom was definitely blind-sided. Not good. Tom: don't put words in my mouth. Let him finish his statement. This is a nice one-sided conversation but Rosie keeps interrupting Tom.
I did too. She was way off base for this.
One could refute every argument Rose made, and she would not listen...
I really like how TS handled himself, despite being attacked. RO is such an obnoxious person!
I guess she did not tell him that she wanted to discuss guns and the NRA. He just wanted to plug his movie. She has her opinions and he does not agree. She is very passionate, but Tom was the calmer of the two in this discussion. Terri
Yes, she was passionate but her views are very child like! She doesn’t seem to get the whole picture
Rosie O’Donnell is exhibiting the exact characteristics that give liberals such a bad name. She’s talking AT Tom Selleck and she’s imposing her views onto him with heated passion, and then at the end she says “we’re not going to attack each other” when that’s all she has done while Selleck could barely get two words out. And she compliments herself for giving him ONE INSTANCE (she said 4 minutes) of allowing him to speak uninterrupted. This is childish behavior and it’s no wonder that party is a laughing stock. Selleck is THE type of person to have a dialogue with about heated topics and she still managed to make herself look foolish by being uncivilized. I agree with everyone else that said Selleck is a class act and he made his point very clear and concise while being cool headed. Something Rosie O’Donnell or any radical person could never do.
I remember watching this live when I was 16 and thinking that Rosie O' Donnell just firebombed her career by attacking one of the nicest and most decent men in Hollywood for no reason. I was right.
Not really. She was still doing fine after this. She quit the show while it was still riding high.
@@47imagine nobody quits a show when it’s “riding high”. She lost her sh!t during this interview and never recovered. Rosie who?
Not exactly. She is still successful.
