negotiate with these people, we're going to continue down our path. now you've got guys who did take the $100 million going to be allowed back into the same ecosystem. so there's definitely jealousy and where's my money kind of situation. >> and jay moynihan was talking about human rights and saudi arabia's record on that, of course a terrible record an that. after this deal was announced obviously he was getting a lot of criticism, then it was announced he was going to be essentially on -- had a medical situation and was going to be stepping away from his duties. have you heard anything about that? >> i've heard rumblings that he's doing okay. i don't think it's a life threatening situation, but it's hard to speculate about someone's health. i will say when he took this job as pga tour commissioner this is not what he's had in mind. these last couple of years have been tumultuous, chaotic, whatever word you want to use. i think he was stepping into a

game where you get sponsors. there's a lot of stress. he's dealing with a lot of stress. >> dan, thanks so much for your time tonight on that. time now for cnn prime time with abby philip. good evening, everyone. i'm abby philip and this is a special edition of "cnn tonight." no need to worry. the bathroom doors lock. that is actually one of the defenses donald trump's allies are using to assure all of us that national security was not at risk at his resort home, but tonight we're going to show you why the indictment of the former president may be more of a national security case than a documents or even an obstruction one. trump's lawyers asking the department of justice for security clearances as the judge sets a new deadline for them to do so. and why is that? because the material that led to the very first federal indictment of a former president is about as sensitive as it

gets. >> was that a good look for the former president to have boxes in a bathroom? >> i don't know. is it a good picture to have boxes in a garage that opens up all the time? a bathroom door lock. >> there are 33 bathrooms at mar-a-lago, so don't act like it's just in some random bathroom that a guest can go into. that's just not true. >> well, to be fair it's unclear how easy it is to breach the bathrooms at mar-a-lago, but what is true and proven is how vulnerable that resort really is. back in february of 2017 trump openly discussed a north korean missile launch with the japanese prime minister in the dining room looking at a laptop that could be seen by diners and wait staff. and later that year in april trump hosted the chinese president in a living area of the great hall near the resort with guests. and in that same month trump launched an impromptu situation room to watch u.s. missile strikes on syria. and experts at the time

questioned the setup and those who surrounded him. and in 2018 a college student screened by secret service entered the resort through a tunnel connected to the beach after being arrested. he'd later tell a judge, quote, i just wanted to see how far i could get. and in 2019 a chinese national was detained in the lobby after being cleared by secret service. she had four cellphones and a thumb drive with malware on it. in 2021 a fake heiress from ukraine somehow got access to the resort posing for pictures by the pool. the alleged scammer also took pictures with trump and senator lindsey graham at the golf club. so keep in mind that all of these incidents happened at the very place where the federal government found dozens of classified and top secret folders inside a bridle suite, above the grand ballroom, and below the public center of the resort. prosecutors say that the rooms could be accessed from multiple outside entrances including the

pool patio. they also say between january of 2021 and august of last year, the resort hosted more than 151 social events, weddings, movie premieres, fund raisers that, quote, drew tens of thousands of guests. one mar-a-lago member telling cnn once you're on the property you can really go anywhere, i do. i want to begin tonight with a unique perspective. joining me is former federal prosecutor and defense attorney tim johanson. he's represented matt gaetz ex-girlfriend and defended corruption cases in the past. i wonder what you think. do you think reading this indictment that doj prosecutors focused on the national security elements perhaps because some of the arguments that we're already hearing from the trump camp are already the process, are around who owns the documents. is that stronger ground for them to be on? >> well, they had to do that

because the presidential records act doesn't have a criminal component to it. so they focus those records onto an espionage. it does still require a willful intent. if you look at that statute, i see how the government coordinated it and charged it very detailed. the defense is obviously going to claim he has a right to the records. i don't think we've had a criminal case in the history of this country under the presidential records act, so the government detailed -- and i believe they did that trying to get it away from the presidential records and trying to build up support with the public -- in the public opinion and showing the recklessness of the president by how the records are being kept. >> and do you think -- i mean given they have now also moved the venue down to southern florida, will it be a challenge for the government to get any 12-person jury unanimously offering a guilty verdict

against trump in a case like this? >> well, i think you're correct. the venue had a problem because many of the charges were that he failed to return the documents. so failing to return them means a crime occurred when he failed to return them, which the venue would have been florida. the jury's going to be very difficult for the government. it's going to be similar to what happened in the o.j. simpson case. they moved it to l.a., a more favorable venue. this is a more favorable venue for donald trump. if you look at the polls today, half the people think he should be in prison, the other half think this is all politicized, he should never be charged. the jury is going to be important. the judge in this case is going to control a lot of the jury selection especially in federal courts. you get ten preempatory challenges, but the key is going to be getting the challenge for

cause because that person is going to be biased. in my practice this is so different than any other trial you're going to see because in most cases people don't want to sit on the jury, so i always try to pick people who don't want to be on it because they don't have an agenda. in this case everyone wants to be on the jury. >> yeah, that's a good point. this will be the case of a lifetime for a lot of people, and it'll be hard to find people who don't have an opinion. but, tim, last night "the washington post" reported that trump's attorney chris kise who's a very well-known figure in the state of florida was trying to get trump to make a deal with the doj to avoid all of this. and you know him personally. you know chris kise personally. do you think that he really had a chance to get trump to take a deal, if he had listened, and at that point in the investigation was it even a realistic option that he could have forestalled a criminal charge here? >> well, sometimes the boat gets

away from the dock and there's no going back. i think jack smith was given a duty and a job, and you look at this indictment. it's very detailed. i do know chris. i've worked cases with him. i don't think there's going to be a deal. your client is the ultimate person. president trump is for all his goods and bads, he's a fighter. he's going to fight this. and i think the odds of him getting convicted are very slim with the way the country is and the jury panel. i don't think president trump would have ever taken a deal. >> yeah, i mean -- and we spoke to, i mean, someone who knows president trump very well who basically said the same thing, that he likes to see a fight. look, one of the factors in all this is when is this trial even going to happen? and not also the only trial former president trump is facing. the dates are now set in the heart of the primary season next january and march for the e.

jean carroll defamation case and the hush money charges. so in addition to this case, how long do you think all of this is going to play out for. >> well, i can tell you when you have a classified case, it's hard to get an attorney who can pass and get classified records. and then you have a codefendant, and then you get an attorney that can get past the classified records challenge. you have many pretrial motions. you have a lot of pretrial motions on the attorney-client, the crime exception, so i doubt this case would even be ready for trial in a year. i doubt it would be tried before the november election of 2024. >> do you think that the judge would decide if it got too close to just simply push it past the election? >> well, the department of justice has a policy. they don't like to interfere with election wheres, and they usually go back like 90 days before an election that they don't want to bring charges or

indict someone or certainly not try a case. this is completely different in so many ways, abby. another example i wanted to tell you. normally when you go onto trial, the government is seeking conservative jurors. and the defendant wants liberal jurors. this is the case where the government is going to want liberal jurors and the defense is going to want the most conservative people. it's completely backwards. >> turning everything up on its head. tim janson, thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate that perspective. >> thank you. and there is breaking news tonight in the state of texas. a tornado tearing through the northern town of perry town in amarillo. you can see there the images of the extensive damage. the mayor saying there are deaths but could not immediately say how many. we also don't know how many people have been injured, but help is rushing there as fast as they can. just a devastating scene as you can see there.

look at that tornado spinning. we're going to keep monitoring this and the very latest developments, and we'll bring you the latest as soon as we have it. but coming up next for us, a republican pollster joins us on whether or not these charges against trump are changing the minds of voters or instead just boosting his already strong support among republicans. plus barack obama speaking out about the issue of race and about 2024 candidates and why he says that liberals may be risking their standing in this debate over woke.

just about one week into learning about the federal indictment of former president trump and the news is already shaking up the political landscape. so how will voters across the spectrum respond to these historic charges, and what could it mean for the 2024 election? i want to bring in the president of north star opinion research as well as republican strategist. you've been a pollster for quite a long time, so you know this landscape really well. when you look at primary voters and how they've responded so far, what are you seeing? >> abby, it depends on which republican primary voters you're talking about. the gop is split into three factions. there's a never-trump faction

that's appalled donald trump took over the gop, and they will react to the indictment as though it tells them everything they always knew about donald trump. that's only about 10%. there's an always-trump faction, which is about 35%. those people will walk through a wall of flames for donald trump. they will brook no criticism of him. criticizing donald trump to always-trump voters is like criticizing jesus in a rural evangelical church. you know, it's not going to have any effect on jesus' reputation but sure trash the reputation of anybody who takes a shot at it. a majority, about 50% voted for trump twice, would vote for him again over joe biden in a heartbeat, but they're concerned that he might be carrying so much baggage that he'll have a hard time winning. there may be trump voters, and the real question is what effect

the indictment might have on them. initially it's caused them to rally around him, but there's a lot of evidence out there. >> i mean, do you think it helps trump to double down on the fact he's been indicted twice and maybe might be indicted a third time or even a fourth time? >> abby, that's his modus operandi. he always doubles down, and he'll triple down if he's charged in fulton county. he's always going to do that. that's the most predictable thing in american politics. >> one of the most interesting things to bring you guys in, donald trump this past week made some comments that got my attention. i want to just go ahead and play them for you. >> i will appoint a real special prosecutor to go after the most corrupt president in the history of the united states of america, joe biden and the entire biden crime family. i will totally obliterate the deep state. >> so, i mean, if you're a

political person maybe that doesn't sound -- is particularly special to you. but what struck me is that it was very explicit, that he wants a prosecutor to go after biden. and now "the new york times" has reporting that basically says that wasn't just a flippant political comment, that's actually a strategy being promoted by some conservative think tank. i under how not just republican voters but the rest of the republican population, swing voters will take that. >> i think for republican voters they agree. i was just in georgia recently, a part of a focus group, and some of the republicans supporting ron desantis have flipped to now support donald trump, and one of their respondents stated they did not like the fact that the doj under the current president was investigating the guy who will likely be his front-runner. now, when you explain the nuances of what this all meant, they didn't necessarily care. they said it doesn't lookrectomy, i don't like the political optics of it, and

therefore i'm standing behind donald trump. whether or not this will have an impact, i'm not necessarily sure, but i do believe it cements donald trump's standing within the republican party, which is why you see him at 63% and his closest competitor ron desantis at barely 20. >> of course the same voters had no problem when candidate trump was threatening to investigate his leading political opponent back in 2016, right? so it all just depends on the perspective. but beyond republican base, i think we have now seen three straight national elections, 2018 and 2020 and in 2022 where what's best to win over the republican base is the worst strategy to win in a general election, to win over independent voters. conventional wisdom in 2022 was that no republican candidate could run in those mid-terms without fully embracing the yooilds that the 2020 election was stolen. so many of them did, and most of

them got punished by general election voters for that. >> that does strike me as a big risk, what moe was just describing is that sometimes going all in on the message that works with the republican base is a double-edged sword in a general election contest. >> it's a huge risk. republicans lost in 2018, 2020, 2021 in georgia for the senate seats and 2022. there's a question of whether you even can make that case for republicans that it is really risky to go down this same road again after four losses in a row. but we'll see if a candidate can make that case. >> to your point there's the recent cbs ugov poll, 61% said the indictment wouldn't change their view of trump, 17% said it would improve their view of trump. that's extraordinary.

if you add no change and improve you're looking at some pretty high numbers there. 75% of the republican party? >> there are a whole lot of people who believe this is a politically motivated indictment, and they're just going to reject it because of that belief. >> president biden, moe, his campaign defended their decision not to fund raise off of this indictment. meanwhile, trump has raised $7 million just in that first 24-hour period. were they right to do that? >> yeah, they have been sending out fund-raising e-mails under the banner of the biden-harass campaign. they've been making donald trump's point that this is overly political by saying you know what, we're going to let that process play out. we're going to go out there and actually talk about things that voters care about in their daily lives. but we are not going to politicize this process. that is the smart thing to do. also, they don't necessarily need to fund raise. there's going to be plenty of money out there flowing to the biden-harris camp. >> trump is definitely a huge

motivator for democrats as he is in some ways for republicans. but everyone standby for us. we have more on our breaking news tonight. authorities in texas are now preparing for mass casualty events after a tornado ripped through perryton. stunning video is now coming in. right there you can see it. an extremely dangerous situation. we'll give you more on that as it comes in. plus former president obama is now long gone from politics, but he's still weighing in on republicans and on his own party. we will tell you what he said next. (vo) consumer reports evaluates vehicles for car shoppers in... reliability, safety, owner satisfaction,

whether you're just starting or replacing your current treatment. research shows that taking h-i-v treatment as prescribed and getting to and staying undetectable prevents transmitting h-i-v through sex. serious side effects can occur, including kidney problems and kidney failure. rare, life-threatening side effects include a buildup of lactic acid and liver problems. do not take biktarvy if you take dofetilide or rifampin. tell your healthcare provider about all the medicines and supplements you take, if you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or if you have kidney or liver problems, including hepatitis. if you have hepatitis b do not stop taking biktarvy without talking to your healthcare provider. common side effects were diarrhea, nausea, and headache. no matter where life takes you, biktarvy can go with you. talk to your healthcare provider today.

as donald trump faces possible prison after a federal indictment, his allies in congress are focusing on president biden. they say that there's a fire, and they're pointing to evidence that amounts to smoke. but they also now say that the evidence may or may not actually exist. so here is the back story. senator chuck grassly questioning whether then-vice president biden took foreign bribes to enrich his family. republicans have issued subpoenas on that, but they found no direct tie to biden. instead they are citing an fbi document that summarizes

unverified claims by an informant. and that informant alleging that a ukrainian executive offered bribes of $5 million. now, cnn's sara murray reports that investigators haven't been able to corroborate those claims. here's grassly earlier this week on the senate floor. >> that the foreign national who allegedly bribed joe and hunter biden allegedly has audio recordings of his conversations with them. 17 such recordings. these recordings were allegedly kept as a sort of insurance policy for the foreign national in case that he got into a tight spot. >> but just days after raising the possible existence of those tapes, grassly is now saying something different. >> i just don't insist because of what the report says. maybe they don't exist, but how will i know until the fbi tells

us are they showing us our work. >> some republican colleagues in the congress who mostly have been aggressive in going after the bidens, they won't go there on the tapes. >> do you think they exist? and if yes, how to obtain them. >> we don't know. and, you know, senator grassly has never said they exist. i'm not aware that we have verified those recordings exist. >> but we don't know for sure these tapes exist. >> we don't know if they're legit or not. >> even trump's former attorney general bill barr said that the claims in that report were unverified. and he had forwarded them to investigators during his tenure. so what's noteworthy about all of this republicans were epset over unverified claims in the infamous and now largely discredit steele dossier. republicans like chuck grassly, he wrote a letter to the fbi demanding information about christopher steele citing,

quote, unverified memoranda steele authored about candidate trump and, quote, the impact of the unverified information he had acquired in an effort to undermine the trump campaign. but with all of these claims involving biden, it appears that grassly is playing to an audience of one, and that is the former president. >> well, i hope he -- i hope he thinks i'm doing good work. i'd like to have him think that of my oversight work. >> and meantime former president barack obama is speaking out now and taking a shot at republicans who he says are not doing enough to acknowledge racial inequality. he says the gop needs to have an honest accounting of our past and present. listen. >> if somebody's not proposing -- both acknowledging and proposing elements that say, no, we can't just ignore all that and pretend as if

everything's equal and fair, we actually have to walk the walk and not just talk the talk. if they're not doing that, then i think people are rightly skeptical. there may come a time when there's somebody in the republican party that is more serious about actually addressing some of the deep inequality that still exists in our society that tracks race and is a consequence of our racial history. and if that happens, i think that would be fantastic. i haven't yet seen it. >> back here now. so obama says he doesn't really see -- let's look at the 2024 field -- anyone really taking a broad view of race. what do you say to that? >> look, i think senator tim scott is trying to walk a very delicate balance in that regard. he's trying to be optimistic and forward thinking in terms of race about making comments like the country is better and that he shouldn't be the exception --

or he shouldn't be the rule, necessarily. there should be tons of rules and not the exception. i also think about president obama's remarks in 2013 at my alma mater at moorehouse college when he essentially stated no one cares when you're on an international stage in brazil so i think we can acknowledge the progress we've made in the past, but i think the former president is correct we still have a long journey to make strides we continue to make as a country. >> i want to play the comments. these comments were made on "the view" just a couple months ago. >> the issue i face is an issue of the heart. it's not republicans or democrats. frankly, both sides of the aisle can do a better job on the issue of race. and frankly, my side of the aisle is doing a fabulous job of

making progress. the question is how do we measure that progress. >> with my read or my listen of obama's comments wasn't so much to be necessarily critical of tim scott, but to say that perhaps there's more that needs to be said, and tim scott really is kind of out there alone in having this conversation even with republicans, even to the extent that he is about race. >> tim scott's perspective is really important in this debate, i think, because he does have a unique perspective. no one should ever down-play the searing effects of racism in this country. but the question is how you measure progress. progress is not the absence of problems. there's always problems. you measure progress by determining whether you'd have the problems of today or the problems of yesterday. and yesterday it wasn't that long ago when a black person could not marry a white person and if they did, they'd go to jail. where we have enforced segregation in this country, but now we have had a black

president, we have a black vice president. and i think almost anyone would say we would like to have the racial problems we have today rather than the racial problems of yesterday. >> to you, moe, i mean do you think that even what obama's talking about there is possible to have in today's republican party, that conversation? >> it's interesting. since we're talk about tim scott, back in 2016 tim scott gave a speech on the floor of the senate that really i think everybody paid attention to, which he talked about his own history, right, having been stopped seven times in one year. he said, i have felt the pressure applied by the scales of justice when they are slanted. there's absolutely nothing more frustrating, more damaging to your soul, than when you know you're following the rules and being treated like you are not. back then tim scott seemed to acknowledge that there are some systemic challenges that are leading to some of these problems. today's republican party doesn't seem to want to acknowledge

that, and you see that being played out in state after state, in school board after school board by those people who are going after even the conversations about race in public schools. there seems to be a pushback by those who are fighting against wokism -- a pushback against the notion that it is okay to acknowledge that we continue despite all of our progress, that we continue to have systemic racism in society and that they don't want government to deal with it at all. >> i mean, what do you say to that? i mean when you say what's happening in places like florida and texas, it's definitely painting a very different picture of how much the republican party really wants to talk about race in a way that deals with the past adequately and also the progress. >> i mean, look, i think the biggest hurdle the republican party has had for the past five decades now as it pertains to black americans and their views

and perspectives of the republican party and the party not being forward thinking on the issue of race as it once was nearly a quarter century ago. i think it's really difficult to not acknowledge there are systemic issues that exist. look at the disparities in terms of housing, health care, economic, look at the disparities in education. all of those things can be statistically tracked in regard to the differences between black americans and white americans. we have to address those things. >> i want to play one more thing from former president obama's interview with david axelrod. >> now, what is true is i think that we have tended at times, on the progressive side, to tip into kind of a scolding social etiquette police and virtue signaling whereby some might not say something exactly the right

way, even if we all know they kind of didn't mean it in an offensive way. and suddenly you've got partly because of social media everybody jumping on them and saying somehow you must be racist or sexist. >> he's talking to his own congregation there. >> and he's not wrong. there are plenty of people out there who do not allow the grace of people making mistakes or understanding that some people travel along this path a little bit slower than others and maybe the rest of us can help them get there a little bit quicker as opposed to immediately -- immediately saying if you are not 100% with me right now, you are a racist or a sexist, and we've seen that backlash even amongst some of the most progressive jurisdictions in the country, so i don't think the president is wrong. that does not mean we give any grace to those people who really are trying to hold back progress

or even worse try to roll it back, but we need to find ways to connect with people heart-to-heart on these issues in order to bring them along. we have shown we can do that before, we can continue to do that. a and tim scott can speak to those issues in a way other republicans are willing to listen. he does have a glass full rather than glass empty perspective, but he can talk about these issues in a way center right voters can listen to him and not just reject him. >> once there's no hard pressure to go against woke so to speak, it'll be interesting to see how tim scott navigates that. thank you all for joining us. we have more now on our breaking news on the devastation in perrytown, texas after a direct hit of tornados. more pictures you see below. one official warning the could

we are now back to the situation in texas there in perryton near amarillo where a massive tornado tore through that area. the mayor says that some, unfortunately, did not make it. and as you can see there, there is significant destruction. we just got in some chilling video of that tornado. i want you to take a moment and listen to what it sounded like on the ground.

>> just the size and the power of that storm you can really see it and hear it. let's bring in chad myers in the cnn weather center. so, chad, how bad is this in. >> i think it's probably going to look at an ef-3, so into the major category for sure. now, a lot of the damage that i've seen today, aluminum siding, shingles, but there were mobile homes that were completely destroyed. and i know 100 mile per hour wind gusts can do that, but there were also big structures that were brick built, stick

built that also really received quite a bit of damage. we'll see. weather service has to go out. what's really interesting i think today, too, not only the perryton tornado, there was damage in michigan. there was a tornado on the ground not that far from sandusky, ohio. just about 30 minutes ago there was a tornado on the ground south of pensacola, florida, near the shore. and all of the tornados that were 1,000 miles or more to the west. so what a violent, violent day we had today. now, the tornado threat is beginning to diminish, but the hail threat and the wind threat is not over yet for tonight. we are still going to have that threat at least until probably 2:00 or 3:00 in the morning. after dark storms are harder to see, tornados are harder to report. so the damage really is what you look for, even power flashes in the sky. there are still storms out there. oklahoma city especially to your north and even toward i would say norman and points east towards shawnee, you have a

couple of storms. and to the east of denison and texas, but this is day we'd really like to forget. an awful lot of rain and big hail. and some of the wind gusts i'm sure will top 70 to 75 miles per hour, even in the overnight hours, abby. so this isn't over yet. >> that's exactly what i was wondering. and i was also wondering as we're looking at the pictures of the burnt out what looks like mobile homes did those folks have a warning of what was coming their way? >> i listened to storm chasers and he said, boy, this went from an ef-0 to a 3 in no time. yes, there was a warning out there, but i don't believe it was the warning people really thought they needed today hear. this is the key, you hear that word warning or if your phone goes off, you cannot treat it like a small issue, a small tornado because you don't know if it's going to be your neighborhood or not. now, the entire town of perryton

did not get hit. but the center part of town, the tornado went right through the center part of town, didn't fair as well in the middle. this is what we're seeing right here, this is the middle part of the town as the tornado itself cut right from west to east, right across the city and town itself. and that was what happened there. this was bryan's video. i was watching it live as he shot this. he did a really fantastic job today, and i hoped he saved some lives because that's why storm chasers go out there to get the word out that, yes, i see a tornado on the ground and we need to have a warning on it. that's what they're there for. >> yeah, i mean he was incredibly close to that storm at least from what we see by the video. we'll keep updating that story as we go along. chad, thank you very much. and up next for us prince harry and his wife meghan have been waging a very public war against the press, and now there is a surprising public apology from a magazine editor who

played a role in some of that coverage.

i was stuck. unresolved depression symptoms were in my way. i needed more from my antidepressant. vraylar helped give it a lift. adding vraylar to an antidepressant... ...is clinically proven to help relieve overall depression symptoms... ...better than an antidepressant alone. and in vraylar clinical studies, most saw no substantial impact on weight. elderly dementia patients have increased risk of death or stroke. report unusual changes in behavior or suicidal thoughts. antidepressants can increase these in children and young adults. report fever, stiff muscles, or confusion, as these may be life-threatening, or uncontrolled muscle movements, which may be permanent. high blood sugar, which can lead to coma or death, weight gain, and high cholesterol may occur. movement dysfunction and restlessness are common side effects.

a rare apology tonight, one that is coming from someone in the magazine world and it is directed towards a frequent target of the press. that is prince harry. the former editor of new zealand's women's weekly, a magazine that heavily covers the royal family, is now sharing her regrets in a newly published letter. alice o'connell writes, impart, i published some stories that were unfair and incredibly one-sided. i can now see that there are from sources who were not telling the truth. my biggest mistake, though, was that i stopped seeing harry as a human being. alice o'connell joins us now. alice, thank you for joining

us. you have said that you owed a genuine apology to prince harry for quite some time. why are you coming forward now? >> it felt like the right time. it has been about three years since i was a magazine editor and i think that in that time it has given me some perspective and now we can reflect on the role that i played in all of this. in the meantime i have been increasingly frustrated by watching the media coverage on prince harry and meghan markle and just how, in my opinion, how unfair and distorted, how quite mean and spiteful that coverage can be. and i have hoped that may be a reporter news organization might take a step back and look at the way that they have covered the royal family, especially prince harry and meghan markle and look at how they have in the past, how they are, now whether it is justified or whether they might need to -- and i felt what keep waiting, why not just do it myself. >> i want to show folks at home

some of the magazine covers that you approved during a time as an editor. you say that you stopped seeing harry as a human being in that time. that is really quite the confession, i wonder how did that happen? why did that happen? >> yeah, the royal family have a real hold on us in new zealand as we are part of the commonwealth. so they've been a big part of our society for more than a century. i think that it is kind of like how we do a celebrities, we can put them in a bubble that they live in a whole other world, that they are not like us regular folk. i think i got caught up in that and stopped realizing that this was a real person who never asked for this life, who is born into it, who was scrutinized since he was an embryo and it is not deserved the way he is being treated by the media.

and yeah,. i felt like i needed to stand up and look at what i had done in the past. >> i wonder what you would say to them if they were watching tonight? what would you say about what has transpired? >> sure, i would say to keep going with what you are doing. i am sorry, -- for what i have done i was the managing editor and i'm sorry for that time but i think that not staying silent about this and continue to let people know what it's like out there because they could should continue to. so >> prince harry is currently in the midst of a major court battle with the publisher over this very issue. so we really appreciate your perspective on this, alice o'connell thank you for joining us. >> thank you for your time.
