4:04 pm

4:06 pm
and then prince hosted one final event, more informal, at a party at his compound. right after that estate. jeremiah freedom was there, a long-time friend of princes. thank you so much for being with us tonight. obviously, circumstances no one could have envisioned would have ever thought this would be happening. i mean, you were just there with him days ago. what was he like at that concert at his estate? >> he seemed a little bit upset. and, of course, he would be when you're having these reports of your at the mice or that you're in really bad health and here he is, walking around, fine. when i first saw him, he just, you know -- didn't smile. he just had a business-like look on his face. and that, you know -- he was going to take care of it. he looked a little bit upset. and the first thing he did when he got on stage is he just went into a strange daze. when you hear stuff like this,
4:07 pm
weight a couple days. save your prayers for a couple days. and -- >> and that's after the plane incident. but you said he just seemed upset is the word he used. you used. >> yeah. he just looked a little bit perturbed. and, of course, he is battling the flu. he was battling it. they even brought him a big old bowl of soup afterwards. towards the end of the night. so he still wasn't feeling well. but he wanted to make this appearance. he wanted everyone to know that he's okay. you know, he wanted to make sure i was there, just to get the word out to people that he was all right, at least then. >> and jeremiah, i know you -- have known him for a long time. you had a chance to speak to him earlier this year. specifically about his dreams. which is something that really stood out to me. what did he tell you about them? >> he actually said this when he was on stage doing a -- he kicked off his piano and a microphone tour at paisley park in january.
4:08 pm
and during the performance when he mentioned david bowie's passing, he also mentioned that he has lucid dreams a lot. and then he sees friends that have passed away in these dreams. and he's able to converse with them and he looks forward to these dreams. it's kind of weird. this was before, like, his long-time girl friend, vanity passed away. this is before that, even. so it just was a little eerie. but for him, it probably makes sense and made him happy he's able to see people he isn't normally able to see. but only in these dreams. >> and you describe it as a little bit eerie. when you hear the details of what happened, no signs of trauma, no reason to believe it was a saw suicide. sure, he indicated he wasn't feelingel well, but so sudden. how do you make sense of it? >> it's hard to make sense, especially because of how private he is. and i'm sure he wouldn't be happy with everything that's going on. he doesn't want to be mourned. he would rather have his music
4:09 pm
and his life and everything just celebrated and just this whole privacy thing and then all of this -- he wouldn't want what's going on and what's going to be going down in a few weeks. and we just need to at least for the best what he would want is celebrate the music, celebrate everything, celebrate the life. let's not mourn. >> jeremiah, thank you very much. and "outfront" now, our contributor and entertainment tonight correspondent, nischelle turner and charles sophy, psychiatrist, medical director at the los angeles county department of children and family services. dr. sophie, let me start with you. people do just have a -- such a curiosity about this. they want to know what happened. and they want to know, because people love prince, they love his music. they thought they would have so many more times to hear him. and now they do not. this autopsy, is this going to provide the answers that the police say it will provide, that the public is going to get answers? >> well, i think they'll
4:10 pm
definitely get answers. we will all get answers. because we need them. none of this makes sense. we didn't see somebody who was failing in life. but these answers might help us understand better a bigger picture. they may be specific to a problem. but they also just may be kind of clues to lead us to think other things. so it may be very helpful. but it will be at least helpful. >> nischelle, you just heard jeremiah say prince talked about his dreams and how lucid they were. very eerie. the talk about the dreams goes back much farther. of course, there is a lot of speculation out there about what may have caused prince's death. and you had a chance, nischelle, to speak to his former fiancee about some of his struggles. what did she tell you? >> reporter: you know, we talked about a lot. i mean, you know, sheila e. was once his fiancee, collaborator, his muse. they met in 1978. so she -- we talked about 38 years of memories. but, you know, she talked a lot
4:11 pm
about prince's evolution. his spiritual evolution. she talked about his mental evolution. some of the dreams he had for himself. and how he, you know, came to different places in his life. she talked about the fact that when she first left, you know, prince in 1989, she didn't agree with the direction he was going. he was going into a new phase of his life that she just didn't jive with musically or spiritually. but then they came back together. you know, she talked a lot about the fact that he was very complex. but he was very kind and very gentle. and super sexy to her and very fun. so there was a lot of things that she talked about. but ultimately, at the end of the day, she talked about the fact of how they loved each other. and that even though they hadn't been together for such a long time, when she heard of this, she felt his spirit asking her to come here. and she couldn't stay away. so that's why she came to be with his family, and be here at
4:12 pm
paisley park, where she was last night until 1:30 in the morning, just to figure out what was going on and what's the next step they should take. >> and you just heard jeremiah say, you were talking about this with me before the show. amazingly private person. he didn't live in the big city lights. he chose to live in minnesota where he grew up. in a very isolated, you know, sort of compound there. you say looking back there may have been signs he had been in pain. that there were things that were not totally right. >> yeah. i just have to say one quick thing, when he talked about those lucid dreams, it puts a whole different spin on "1999", i was dreaming when i wrote this, forgive me if it goes astray. prince was famously private and controlling of the information and images and music that would get out there, something that would cause him to do battle with record labels. i think that a lot of artists, particularly artists that go through a long career like this and perform in the physically demanding way that prince was
4:13 pm
known for performing, you know, you wind up with body pain. you wind up with degenerative hips. you wind up with ankles. >> like michael jackson. >> i don't want to jump to any conclusions. i think that it wouldn't surprise me if you know, if he was trying to treat pain. but everything about his desire for control, everything about his spirituality, would tell me that this is not a guy that's, like, you know, trying to abuse something or just looking for a good time or something like that. >> nischelle? >> yeah, you know, erin, it's interesting. because sheila and i it talk about that specifically. i asked her if she knew anything about him taking pain killers or having, you know, become dependent on them. and she said she did not have information about that. but she did tell me that prince had been in a lot of pain for a number of years. she said prolonged pain. and she did say, in fact, that
4:14 pm
it came from all of the stress and strain that touring took on his body, especially the fact he wore high heels all of the time. he jumped off risers and it had a real toll on his knees and hips. and she did say that did affect him and that he was in pain. now, as far as him taking pain killers for that, she didn't know. and we won't know, really, i guess, until the toxicology reports are done. but she did talk about the fact that he was in a lot of pain, yeah. >> i was going to say, you look back now at like his last grammy appearance or these kinds of moments and he always had that scepter with him, that cane and we look back and thought it was for style. >> maybe it wasn't for style. inside paisley park, prince's mysterious compound, that estate you see there. the architect of that building talks to us, talks actually about a secret vault in the compound. what is inside it? our special report is next. and a woman who shared the stage with prince and says he was like an uncle.

4:24 pm

4:25 pm
>> i'm sure tamar, sort of a bittersweet thing for you to hear. one of the things he said there, it's so cold, it keeps the bad people out. he seemed somewhat serious when he said that. you know him and you talk about his spirituality. how important the bible was to him. what do you think he meant by that? >> of course i don't know what he meant by it. but all the times that we have spent as -- in the professional world, as, like, being with my family and my family being a part of his world, chanhassen and minneapolis was very quiet. and it's something that i learned from him. i'm from a big city. but i appreciate the quiet more so now than i've ever appreciated it. and i understood it. once you got in those gates, it was really like work, and just fun. i mean, there was a game room. we would play -- all of us would play games in there. he had an actual nightclub in there. so it became different things for everyone. and i -- as far as it being cold, of course, minneapolis is

breaking news. new polls out tonight in the race for the republican presidential nomination. donald trump with a 27-point lead over ted cruz in california. this is according to the latest fox news poll. there are 172 delegates up for grabs there. in indiana, much tighter. trump with an eight-point lead over cruz. 57 delegates at stake, a crucial state for both men. it comes as revealing new audio surfaces from a meeting behind closed doors between donald trump's new campaign chief and members of the rnc. his message, what you see right now is not what you will get in the white house. sunlen serfaty is "outfront." >> it's such a crooked system. >> reporter: as donald trump publicly rails against the
4:32 pm
republican nominating system -- >> they take them out to dinner, they send them to hotels. it's such a crooked system. it's disgusting. >> reporter: privately, a secret recording reveals his campaign is putting on a full-court press, attempting to smooth over relations with gop party insiders. in the recording obtained by cnn, trump's newly minted convention manager, paul manafort, is heard behind closed doors, telling rnc officials that the gop front runner can and will change. >> maybe you don't know, but he's sitting in a room, talking business, and talking good politics in a private room. it's a different society. >> reporter: manafort is heard suggesting that trump is playing a part for the primary campaign, but he will change as the campaign moves forward. >> that's what's important from our standpoint. for you to understand that he gets it. that the part he's been playing has evolved into a part you've been expecting but he wasn't ready for.
4:33 pm
the image is going to change but clinton is still going to be crooked hillary. >> reporter: manafort also making the case that in an election, trump's vulnerabilities will be easier to address than clintons. >> his campaign manager, campaign consultant, fixing personality negatives is a lot easier to fix than character negatives. you can't change somebody's character. you can change the way a person presents himself. >> how many of y'all here are tired of politicians lying to us? >> reporter: ted cruz is seizing on the comments, saying they prove that trump can't be trusted. >> i will say to the millions of americans who are frustrated with politicians who are lying to them, donald is telling us he's lying to us. >> reporter: as cruz launches his attacks, trump is ratcheting up his calls for cruz and john kasich to get out of the race. saying they don't have a chance of catching him in the delegate count. >> they should both get out. >> reporter: and pledging that he will tone things down eventually.
4:34 pm
>> i don't want to be too presidential yet. if i was totally presidential, we have 10,000 people here or something. i would have about 300, and you would be falling asleep after 20 minutes, okay? >> and senator cruz really intensified his attacks on donald trump today across the board. not only bringing up the paul manafort audio at every turn today, but also going over the recalibrations of the staff of the trump campaign, and really bringing up their new hires, saying this is evidence that the trump campaign has now become, in his words, the washington campaign. so erin, really very clearly trying to tie donald trump to the establishment wing of the party. >> all right. sunlen, thank you very much. live from pennsylvania tonight. crucial state voting next week. "outfront" now, the spokeswoman for the donald trump campaign, katrina pearson. katie packer, also the chair of the our principles pac, leading the fight against donald trump. you just heard some of the audio
4:35 pm
there saying we're going to be seeing a different donald trump, an evolved donald trump, a more presidential donald trump. do you buy it? >> i don't buy it. you know, i think donald trump has brought in a lot of high-priced d.c. lobbyists and operatives to come in and try to clear the path for him. to the nomination. but, you know, i don't think a guy that's about 70 years old is somebody that's going to change his personality any time soon. i think this guy we have seen that is very brash, makes sexist, racist comments on a regular basis, is very offensive and cites violence, that's not somebody who is going to change his personality and his tone any time soon. he seems to think that it's brought him some success. and, you know, the american people and the republican party aren't auditioning for a role -- auditioning somebody for a role in a reality show. this is an important role, and an important job. and these issues matter to people. and i think the lack of seriousness is really appalling. >> katrina, what do you say? are you saying he can't change his personality?
4:36 pm
>> i think what we're hearing is mr. manafort just saying what mr. trump has been saying this whole time. just in his own words. mr. trump is a primary candidate. he has had to fight off several candidates, special interest groups, like katie. so he is having fun at his rallies and embracing the people who are supporting him, and there is a measure of success, considering at this point he has millions more votes than mitt romney did at this point. and, of course, the campaign is growing, we're expanding, getting ready to move into a general election. so, yes, things will shift as the target shifts. it's a natural progression. >> so katrina, when it comes to tone, though, here is the donald trump that katie, i presume, is speaking about. when it comes to tone, here's the donald trump america knows. >> lyin' ted cruz. lyin' ted. lies. oh, he lies. you know, ted, he brings the bible, holds it high, sits it down, lies. going to beat obama.
4:37 pm
i don't know, how does it get worse? but she was going to beat -- favored to win. and she got this longed. when mexico sends us people, they're not sending their best. they are bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists, and some, i assume, are good people. >> katrina, things like sclonged, lyin' ted cruz. are those things going to stop? >> well, it's the truth. i'm not quite sure what needs to stop there as far as the rallies go, again. these are rallies. people are excited to see him. he's excited to be out there and talk to them. he's a one-on-one person when he's with his supporters. there's nothing that's changed there. you have also seen the donald trump in a more serious setting and tone like the apac speech or when he sits down with the media and has substantive discussions. he will also alter, because he has said, erin, many times before -- before mr. manafort came on, that he can be politically correct or change his tone whenever he wants. but we are in the middle of a fight right now.
4:38 pm
we know there are people that are trying to stop mr. trump from achieving the nomination so we're going to continue that fight. >> so katie, is there any way you would get on board? the chairman of the rnc today, strong message for people like you, saying it's essential for victory in november that we all support our candidate. this goes for everyone. if donald trump is the nominee of your party, katie, would you support him? >> absolutely not. character and dignity and respect are not situational things. having class is not a situational thing. you don't have it in some settings and not have it in other settings. you can hold a rally without degrading people and insulting people. you can have an interview without degrading women and mentioning their menstrual cycle publicly. these are all things that are signs of a guy that has no class, no character. and is not fit to be president of the united states. and there's just no way that i can give him my vote. he hasn't earned it. >> thank you very much. much more on this to come. next, days before pennsylvania's crucial primary, a side of hillary clinton you

and pay tribute, it's a pretty staggering thing. >> you have known prince for a long time. earlier in the show we were talking to one of his proteges, tamar davis, talked about when she was 11 years old, went to the compound, remembered the vault, remembered the purple bike in there, she remembered it very well. there's a vault, apparently there's a lot of unreleased music in there, which people in the world are desperate to hear more about. do you have any idea, dez, are in there, how many songs that exist he may have recorded that could be ready that we may eventually hear? >> i really objectively have no idea. the thing i do know is that prince was epically prolific and continually working, one of the reasons for having a creative center of his own was so he could in unrestricted fashion create at will, and i do know
4:53 pm
when the place was built, there was a vault for at that time master analog tapes that he meticulously archived everything. so i have no doubt there's a wealth of unreleased material that's still in existence. the question is who is going to be in charge of releasing that content when the time comes. >> which will be the crucial question as you talked about, he was so passionate about having that control and having that be in his hands. hopefully that is something we assume that he made sure with his passing would stay the way he wanted it to be. dez, thank you, good to talk to you again. >> my pleasure. next, a tense meeting with the imperial wizard of the kkk. that report is next. no one's the same without the game of football...
