we knew mrs. davis and we have no idea how it you could b believe her according to your sympathies towards her. i also thought that it was strange that they claimed that it was a 15-minute audience and the only thing that she could say that the pope said to her was be courageous, and a couple of other things, and i thought well, those are only seconds in a 15 minutes long audience with the pope. so i thought that this was something that had a different r -- there was something behind it. knowing pope francis the way i know him, this was completely out of character with him to do something like this. >> how important was it for you to give this interview? i saw you last night as well with lawrence o'donnell. that was important for you to shed more light on your meeting and the person who was your teacher from 1964 to '65 and the person who is now the pope? >> well, it is important and tamron, i would have not come out talking about this meeting because it was a very personal meeting with a good friend, s
