couric last year. >> the preoccupation with transition with surgery objectifies trans people and we don't get to deal with the real lived experiences, the reality of trans peoples lives is that so often we're targets of violence. employment rate is twice the national average if you're trans person of color, four times more. if we focus on transition, we don't get to talk about those things. >> here's what the 2011 national transgender discrimination survey found in time. 80% were harassed at school. 90% were harassed nearly 20% said they were denied a place and 41% attempted suicide, only 1.6 of the general population has made such an attempt. cox isn't alone in coming out and speaking out as a transwoman. from janet mock's best-selling memoir "redefining realness" to cassidy, elected homecoming queen of her california high school last year, folks in the trans community are finding its voice and feeling more comfortable being who they are. and they're starting to be heard, according to the national center for transgender equality, 91 jurisdictions nationwide explicitly protect peopl

. >> katie couric was here a couple weeks ago with her movie and you mocked that movie in the special, right? >> i mean, it's ridiculous. >> wait, wait, she is saying that a lot of sugar is bad. that's true. you don't want to be eating lot of sugar, particularly white sugar. >> that's true. government is subsidizing food that make us fat is bad. they get those things right. she says 95% of americans will be overweight or obese in two decades. how does anybody know that? 95%? it's absurd. >> crime to blame will power. helpless addicts. our brains light up with sugar like cocaine and heroin. >> for some that's true they can't stay away. >> here is where i disagree. michelle obama is on the kick to have schools that are subsidized with federal taxpayer dollars purchase healthy foods for the you urchins, okay? i support that because if you are buying garbage food and you are giving them every day, you know, friday stuff this, and sugar laden stuff that with our tax dollars. i think they should try to go for the better stuff automatic i wrong? >> strangly i would agree with you. >> thank y

katie couric who attacked sarah palin on the air didn't push joe biden on the air. obama people never suffered from smearing people. put smear campaign on the screen over karl rove's face, has brian williams ever done that to a clinton? has brian williams ever done that to obama? brian williams basically stands in front of bush and calls him a racist on the street. that's who brian williams is. >> thanks for being with us tonight. >>> there is more breaking news tonight in a couple of big stories. new e-mails surfacing in the irs investigation and the name of a top democratic senator is all over these e-mails. we'll have that story for you right after this break. >>> plus this. >> i'm here to tell you that my dead veteran husband cannot be much more patient than he is today, but me, i'm mad. >> with the scandal over medical care for our vets getting worse, angry families are speaking out. we'll show you how the white house is getting ready for a hearing tomorrow that could get very ugly for this administration. >>> plus, it may be the most watched video in america t
