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.
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
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.

@@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.

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....
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.
@@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
@chucksenhowzen9740 maybe so and I'm not for it myself. However you are within your rights to your beliefs and I'm not here to try to change that or have you see it my way.
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.👍
@virginiaconnor8350 it's not a typical liberal. It's a typical idiot who don't agree with someone else's views. Both sides are Guilty of it and I personally think it's childish. Who cares if ones political beliefs is different than others? That gives one no right to chastising and criticizing em because of it.
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!
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.
Nobody will ever get it right. You cannot predict mental illness. You could run a background check to a perfectly sane individual, but one isolated incident, such as the death of a child or divorce can set someone off.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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 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.
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,
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.
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!!)
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
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!
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.
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.
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 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.
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!
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 ?
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.
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 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
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.
Tom really does handle himself well. Classy guy. I agree with his sentiment which is "Stop thinking that everyone who disagrees with you is evil". He listens and speaks intelligently. Rosie later admitted that she didn't handle it well and framed it as being the week after Columbine.
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.
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)...
This is the way everyone should act when coming under attack from hysterics. Whether you agree with him or not, Tom's composure proved that he was the reasonable, intelligent one in the debate.
Rosie is wrong. The 2nd amendment is to protect against a tyrannical government. The writers of the constitution were visionary. Muskets were used then and now we have different weapons. Rosie shouldn't use her show to talk about this.
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...
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
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".
This revealed the true character of both individuals. Tom has great character and his career continues to thrive and she is of poor character and that was a career killer for her.
Her show was on the air for another 4 years... she then hosted The View... then went on to have a late night talk show of her own... so, no... not a career killer
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.
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.
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
I remember watching this with my mom as a kid when I was home from school, and Rosie took a lot of heat for how she went after Tom. In hindsight, I like the idea of celebrities not using daytime TV (or even late-night TV) as a softball interview to plug their upcoming project. We all know Late Night TV used to have very engaging conversations and debates, and now everything has been dumbed down. This was actually a fascinating discourse, and, agree or disagree; I give Tom credit for handling it with such grace and patience.
I will never forget this. I remember watching it live and thinking that Rosie was being so beyond rude!! Tom handled it with class. I would've wanted to walk off the show. She knew exactly what she was going to do. She planned that attack on him. Guess what Rosie? There are mass murders carried out by a person with a sword. There are mass murders carried out by a person who builds a bomb and parks it right next to a building in Oklahoma. There are mass murders done by a person driving a truck into a crowd of people! You really think that banning certain guns is going to stop anything??? The only thing that banning guns will do is make the good and honest people vulnerable because they won't have any way of protecting themselves. Your thinking is completely illogical. What we need is a much better mental health system in our country!
The thing that pissed me off the most is that she lured him in with promises of something else entirely. He went in with literally no idea that she was planning this "debate." Left or Right wing, you must admit that any structured discussion should be fair, agreed to and sensical. Not to mention, he stepped into his position at the NRA for a sick and dying friend. Way to go Rosie.
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.

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.
This caused the death of her show
and her career
"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.
You go TOM I applaud you sir!!!
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!
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.
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!
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.
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 was a class act here. I love how he kept his cool the whole time.
Like a lot of TV hosts, she is not pragmatic, and is totally pushing her agenda.
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.
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 never knew Tom Selleck was as bright and well mannered as he proves himself to be here.
Selleck seems super thoughtful and smart in how he talks about this.
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
Tom Selleck is a bigger star than Rosie ever dreamed of
He was more gracious than she deserved.
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.
tom selleck is the man for not walking out of the interview.
Tom really does handle himself well. Classy guy.
I agree with his sentiment which is "Stop thinking that everyone who disagrees with you is evil". He listens and speaks intelligently. Rosie later admitted that she didn't handle it well and framed it as being the week after Columbine.
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
Its okay for her bodyguards to carry guns… They have special rights and privileges over other citizens?
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.
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)...
She is unbelievable. How ignorant to treat her guest like she did.
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 😁😁😁
This is the way everyone should act when coming under attack from hysterics. Whether you agree with him or not, Tom's composure proved that he was the reasonable, intelligent one in the debate.
And this is when I became a big Tom Selleck fan. Always liked him from Magnum PI but this made me a fan
Rosie is wrong. The 2nd amendment is to protect against a tyrannical government. The writers of the constitution were visionary. Muskets were used then and now we have different weapons. Rosie shouldn't use her show to talk about this.
Thank you Tom for being so eloquent and grace full.
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...
I think that Tom Selleck is an amazingly awesome man
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
Why she ever had her own show and STILL on TV today is beyond me.
Individual liberty matters, thank you Tom Sellick. There is no such thing as an assault weapon.
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".
this is why Rosie is a has been...she had everything and threw it away because of her intolerance
I'm more in love with him now then ever before!!!
6:52 By this point Tom seemed genuinely annoyed, and rightfully so.
Who doesn't love Tom Selleck?
Woke Feminists
why does she keep touching him???? back up!!!!
She wants more attention than hes giving her
Tom handled it classy.
This revealed the true character of both individuals. Tom has great character and his career continues to thrive and she is of poor character and that was a career killer for her.
Her show was on the air for another 4 years... she then hosted The View... then went on to have a late night talk show of her own... so, no... not a career killer
Wow she is a militant tiger tank....Tom Selleck is thoughtful and careful with his word.
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.
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.
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 😞
You called him the spokesman for the NRA and blamed him for gun violence
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.
I remember watching this with my mom as a kid when I was home from school, and Rosie took a lot of heat for how she went after Tom. In hindsight, I like the idea of celebrities not using daytime TV (or even late-night TV) as a softball interview to plug their upcoming project. We all know Late Night TV used to have very engaging conversations and debates, and now everything has been dumbed down. This was actually a fascinating discourse, and, agree or disagree; I give Tom credit for handling it with such grace and patience.
She brings him onto her show...to attack him. How’s that career going, Rosie?
Rosie is a 🤡
This ambush destroyed O'Donnell's career. Howard Stern brought up the fact that O'Donnell was a spokesperson for K-Mart, K-Mart sold guns at the time.
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 will never forget this. I remember watching it live and thinking that Rosie was being so beyond rude!! Tom handled it with class. I would've wanted to walk off the show. She knew exactly what she was going to do. She planned that attack on him. Guess what Rosie? There are mass murders carried out by a person with a sword. There are mass murders carried out by a person who builds a bomb and parks it right next to a building in Oklahoma. There are mass murders done by a person driving a truck into a crowd of people! You really think that banning certain guns is going to stop anything??? The only thing that banning guns will do is make the good and honest people vulnerable because they won't have any way of protecting themselves. Your thinking is completely illogical. What we need is a much better mental health system in our country!
Rosie only cared about pushing her beliefs on Tom and when he refused to accept them she got belligerent.
She wants to register cars and guns but not voters 🤣🤣🤣
Notice the militant one here is the anti gunner, and the pro gunner is calm, cogent and sensible.
The thing that pissed me off the most is that she lured him in with promises of something else entirely. He went in with literally no idea that she was planning this "debate." Left or Right wing, you must admit that any structured discussion should be fair, agreed to and sensical.
Not to mention, he stepped into his position at the NRA for a sick and dying friend. Way to go Rosie.
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
This was the beginning of the end for Rosie.
At the end of this clip, she knew that too
i always liked tom selleck, you go boy!!!
