The whole nation is talking about this magazine cover tonight. And today, vanity fair released this intimate video showing some of how it was made. I was probably at the games because i was running away from a lot of things. Very, very proud of the accomplishment. The last few days of doing this shoot was about my life and who i am as a person. Its not about the fanfare, its not about people cheering in the stadium. Its not about going down the street, everybody getting you atta boy, bruce, pat on the back. This is about your life. Bruce always had to tell a lie. He was always living that lie. Every day, he always had a secret, from morning until night. She doesnt have any secrets. As soon as the vanity fair cover coming out, im free. That is really something. And a lot of people have been watching. There has been tremendous interest in meeting the new free caitlyn today. Within hours, broke the record for the fastest person to hit a million followers on that site. She just noted that milestone by sending a new message saying, another jenner world record and at 65 . Who would have thought. She took that record from president obama. And she happened to hear from him today as well. His account posting a message that read, it takes courage to share your story. In that new article, jenner explains its a story she struggled to tell for decades. And reaching this point was essential for growth not for attention. She says im not going this to be interesting, she says, im doing this to live. Lets get right to it. Joining us now is perez hilton celebrity blogger. President of the Harvey Foundation and dr. Bowers. Good evening to all of you. Im excited to have this conversation. A lot of times in the news we talk about very familiar things. Stewart, let me start with you. What does this mean to people within caitlyns community and to the rest of america . Its visibility. And visibility and telling a story and knowing the process that someone went through to their own self acceptance is very powerful. It harkens back to my uncles old message of you must be authentic, you must remove those masks. You know, caitlyn looks absolutely amazing. You could sense in the article the confidence and the freedom. Its something that many people who are lgbt, but people who are different, different than the mainstream feel all the time. Freedom to be themselves. Freedom to not have to put a gender that they didnt feel they were born with on or to live a certain way that didnt conform to associate. You know, this is a very important and it is a historic moment because it moves us forward. But i do think we have to remember that there are all kinds of Society Norms around the world. For my transgender brothers and sisters, theres still a tremendous battle ahead. This is one step in a direction of visibility which does change the game. Well, stewart, i think you put your finger on it. We asked people to be authentic, to be honest, but we live in a culture that so punishes many of those values if expressed. Its the ultimate dilemma for people in these situations. I want to play a little more from ms. Jenner as she was speaking about this and about lies. Take a listen. Bruce, always telling a lie. Hes lived a lie his whole life about who he is. And i cant do that any longer. Can i take my pony tail out . Yeah, why not, huh . What did you think of that moment, perez . I was so moved by that. Earlier this evening, i went to a benefit for the gay lesbian straight education network. Studies show that the turmoil of keeping a secret for young lgbt students in schools is worse than any outside harassment they might fear. So bruce jenner has dealt with this his whole life. And in the 80s, he tried to transition. Hes been struggling with this forever. Now today, its not just visibility, but its also opening minds and hearts. I experienced this firsthand at the gym talking to some guys there making fun of bruce jenner. What were they saying . First, they were showing around the photo to other people at the gym not saying it was bruce jenner or Caitlyn Jenner and then they were revealing. The reactions werent accepting. Uhhuh. Todays the water shed moment. Today is like in the 90s when Ellen Degeneres came out and said im a lesbian. Now Everybody Knows caitlyn as well. I want to read from her in the article saying, i was terrified of being discovered earlier on, in the 80s. She was not at a point in her life where she said she was comfortable with herself. Who would want to be dealing with all these issues. From a medical standpoint, how are people supposed to navigate that . Well, i think its important for the public to know that this isnt something that is a decision thats made willingly. And she points this out throughout her story is that, you know, this is something that she struggled with. And previously we thought of it as a psychological issue. But we know now with its onset being so very early in life for the vast majority of people that its something thats clearly biological. Its hard wired and its who we are. How do we know its biological in that sense, doctor . Well, its mostly its impeer call evidence, but theres also some hard measures, brain scans that show that transgender persons look like their counterparts. In other words, they look like the people they aspire to be in terms of their gender. So their brains look similar. But beyond that, the empirical evidence, you see this in young children, theyve felt this way their entire lives. They come out, you know, shortly after birth and say to their parents, mommy, im a boy, or daddy, im a girl. And despite not having matching genitalia. And theyre very convinced of this. And it doesnt go away. So in spite of efforts to normalize and put people in very neat gender boxes, male or female, its very difficult to do this. And after all, in nature, where but in gender are there only two choices . Stewart, speak to that, what dr. Bowers is calling putting people in boxes. There is that element of this, when we look at social change, and interestingly, this article says look, this is the most remarkable story i have ever worked on in 38 years as a journalist. It was initially weird. And anyone who says it isnt weird is giving themselves far too much credit. Do you agree . Well, you know, this is this is one of the lgbt communitys biggest challenges, which is to embrace the courage of our trans brothers and sisters when they do make that decision. This has been for caitlyn a half century process. And, you know, she was in the public eye. So that presents both opportunities and challenges, but we have a lot of we have the most of our trans brothers and sisters are not in the public eye. Dont have the resources economically to necessarily do the procedures and the process to transition. So we have a lot of those challenges going on. So there is a box. And not everyone is going to meet the standard of a gender identity when they transition. So i have trans brothers and sisters around the world, they all look different, theyre all beautiful to me. The important thing is, we have to get to the point where we accept the differences that people have and embrace that and nourish that from a young age. The issue really is that we punish maleborn persons who show femininity far worse than we do females who show masculinity. That comes out time and again throughout her story and those who feel weird about it in any way. And dr. Bowers i want to ask if you can hear me being feminine specifically though for folks who do want to learn about this, which is its not a light switch that turns off and on and its not determined solely by whether someone has a certain physical operation . Well, thats true. A surgery does not make the individual male or female. And i point out that if you think about it, when you pass a stranger on the street, when is the last time you knew with 100 certainty what that persons genitalia looked like . So, i mean in certain cases that may be true. But the fact is that we make assumptions but one anothers genitalia every single day. Thank you so much for joining us. Very interesting to get your insights. Coming up, ms. Jenner had some major doubts about her transition. Were going to talk to the counselling agency that personally addressed her concerns and how families and communities react to these transitions. Also tonight, senator al franken talks about the patriot act reform bill he wrote. And why he and rand paul are not on the same page. Then a look at Tracy Morgans first interview since the crash that took his friends life and nearly ended him. An inspiring glimpse of our nbc colleague.

Up next, the impact of ones transgender transformation on those around them. We dont want anyone to live their life and feel like theyre in the wrong body or completely just unhappy in their soul. Im okay with whats happening. I have to transition as well. Bennys the oldest dog in the shelter. He needed help all day so i adopted him. When my back pain flared up, i thought id have to give him away. I tried tylenol but it was 6 pills a day. With aleve its just 2 pills, all day. Now im back aleve. All day strong. So when my husband started Getting Better dental checkups than me i decided to go pro. With crest prohealth advanced. My mouth is getting healthier. My teeth are getting stronger. This crest toothpaste is superior in five areas. Great checkup. I saw a sense of bravery that is, for all of your previous accomplishments, i think far exceeds all of them. And im just honored and more proud than ever to be a part of the family. That was Brandon Jenner talking about his father just weeks before the infamous transition to Caitlyn Jenner. Kris jenner says it has hit her like a death in the family. I have to mourn this person that i thought ive known for all these years. Its like i have to mourn bruce jenner. Im just like im confused what happens to bruce. Because i miss bruce. Ill never be able to really have bruce and all i have really is my memories. You know, i look at pictures of you and the kids and i get really sad because i feel like you died. You know, bruce died. And its really hard for me to wrap my head around that. On keeping up with the kardashians, bruce talked candidly with some of his daughters about why he chose to transition now. The greatest thing of my life ive ever done is raise my children. Look at every one of you. Successful, smart, intelligent. You know, i am just so proud of all of you. Its my greatest accomplishment. I got everybody out of the nest. Everybodys doing great. I got to deal with myself. The last thing in the world i want to do is hurt any one of you. That is not my intention. If im not honest because im afraid to talk to you about this subject because i know it hurts, i understand that. Am i doing it right . You can never do this right. Okay . Theres just theres no right way to do this. For more on the family and social challenge, here were joined by a Clinical Services director for the Los Angeles Jenner center, wade davis, executive director of you can play and perez hilton still with us. Lets me start with you and read a little more from the article weve been discussing tonight. Talks about caitlyn having this panic attack lasting about 16 seconds. What did i just do, what did i just do to myself. A counselor came over to the house so caitlyn could talk with someone. The counselor helped ease her mind. She said such reactions were often induced by pain medication and is usually human and temporary. In a general sense, how does that type of counselling work and how does it help people who decide they want to do this even with those kind of family pressures we just showed . Well, as you said i am speaking in general terms. I have not counselled caitlyn or her family. I think the thing to realize is that it is a transition process for the transgender person and the family. So theres many emotional ups and downs for the transgender person whos been maybe dealing with this for decades. When they finally come out, there is usually a sense of relief. But it doesnt mean that theyre not in fear of losing their family or the love and support of their family. You know, just dealing with how the world will respond to them. So i think having doubts along the way could come up and be a very natural part of the process. Yeah. And this is not any average family. Thats part of why theres so much attention on it. Weve seep the messages today. The photographer, how beautiful, be happy, be proud, live life your way. Kourtney kardashian tweeting, freedom, stunning. And tweeting, we were given this life because you were Strong Enough to live it. Couldnt be prouder. Obviously you can be supportive and still have to go through your open difficulty as a family member. I mean, this is new for them. Its new for bruce as well. Theres no textbook manual of how to come out as transgender. Im getting caught up because ive been so engrained and used to seeing bruce. Today, we have a name. Like caitlyn said, now shes free. And its really just its amazing. Wade, in your experience does it matter much if somebodys original identity is further at odds or intentioned. Weve talked about sports has been separate from transgender. Gay athletes has been one of the last areas to really have progress on this. Yeah, you know, i think one of the big things that we have to kind of do is take a step back and reimagine what caitlyn did. Caitlyn is now inviting us in. Shes inviting us into her personal life. And its really beautiful to be able to, you know, kind of reimagine her. Weve all known her as an amazing athlete, parent and reality star. Now we can get to know the intimate sides of her. I think shes our shero. Her sports accomplishments arent diminished at all. But maureen, i guess what im partially getting at, is it almost easier for people who arent in the family or inner circle, because then if you want to be tolerant and open minds, you say great, ill go along with it. It seems theres a legitimate difficulty with people who are family or friends. If they say so. I want to play another clip here from keeping up with the kardashians. Which isnt something we do on the news all that much. But its relevant tonight. Im not mad at your process of you wanting to live your life. Im not. What i was mad about is feeling like you were robbing me of like having the opportunity to like let go on my own. When youre doing like your big serious surgery, you cant just do that and then i come over one day and true. Produce is gone. Its not that youre doing it. Im mad that you werent tells us. What duke of that . I think theres been so many years where caitlyn had to pretend who she was. So there was many years of not being honest. But now she is letting her family know the truth. But i think its really difficult for a family or people close to a transgender person to get used to the idea. Initially, its shocking. And as i think as some of the kids and his exwife said, theres a feeling of almost like a death. But it really it does feel that way. Theres the loss of the way you thought of the person and the idea of this person that youre related to. But fortunately, with time, and it seems like its happened in the case of caitlyns family, they can come around and realize that the person is still there. They have lost the idea of what they had, but the real person is there and hopefully they can have a closer and more deep relationship with the authentic person that she is. Yeah, i think the most important thing is compassion for even. Not just for caitlyn, but also kris jenner. What shes going through must be so hard. Ive seen people criticizing her on twitter today for not commenting on the cover. Compassion is the key and compassion for everybody. And wade, what do you think of the sort of the discussion here about honesty . Its very hard to do a lot of compare and contrast, but someone who might have a private lifestyle or choice of happening to be gay seems a little different here than the transition process, right . At a bottom line can people look at this and say when you make this choice, that doesnt mean youre automatically dishonest up to the choice if youre living in a society that doesnt necessarily create the space for it. Wade . Exactly. I would say that 90 of lgbt individuals will tell you the reason why they werent open about their sexuality or their gender identity is because the world wasnt safe, right . Caitlyn, i would imagine that if the world had showed her a different side of it, if there wasnt sexism and transphobia, it would have created the opportunity and the space for her to own her identity much, much earlier. I think what her family is experiencing is a form of an actual death. Compassion is a twoway street. As much compassion as theyre showing caitlyn, caitlyn has to also show that compassion back to her family and also to have time. Time for healing, time for understanding, but also time to learn. I think lastly, i would say that its not just caitlyns responsibility to educate the public or the world, right . Its like theres a burden of responsibility that we often place on transgender people. Uhhuh. I mean, yeah, its fascinating and people want to do the right thing, are still learning. A lot of conversations clearly around the country all over the internet today. Thank you all for joining us tonight. Next, im going to go one on one with senator al franken about what happens now that part of the patriot act expired. Im going to ask him about that growing democratic field for 2016. The one on the right just used 1 less fuel than the one on the left.

Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell made a bet that if he let the patriot act get this close to expiring then the senate would buckle under pressure and just pass it. Its not a crazy bet. Thats wa what happened in 2011. When there was no deal for reform, senate just extended it the night before the deadline. When it passed after 9 11, only one u. S. Senator opposed the patriot act. By 2011, there were 23. Now as of last night, there is a majority in both houses that would rather let the patriot act spine powers expire. The usa freedom act which ends the governments secret data base exposed by edward snowden. The bills authors come from very different places. And the bill includes transparency rules drafted by progressive senator al franken. President obama says he will sign this bill. Joining us now for an exclusive interview is one of the freedom acts authors, senator al franken, good evening. Good evening. So senator, this has been an uphill battle. What changed . What changed in terms of this usa freedom act versus the patriot act . Yeah, and why you opposed renewing the patriot act at one point. Why have so many colleagues of yours in the senate come along to this view . I opposed it because there was no transparency really in it. So the American People had no way of judges whether there was the right balance being struck between protecting peoples privacy, which is obviously very important, and also making sure that our National Security was protected. And thats why i voted against these authorities in the first place. And i along with dean heller, republican from nevada, put in transparency provisions that will let americans know how many people are caught up in this data, how many peoples data has been taken. But very importantly, how much how Many Americans and how many people have been looked at. And that is important. Also weve released listed gag order on Companies Like google and verizon because they were losing business because they could not they werent allowed to say how many how much of their information had been asked for and now they now theyll be able to do that. Yeah, a lot of what your language in the bill would do is basically give us some kind of ballpark estimate. This isnt super secret security information. It just says the number of people whose info was collected, the number of searches run on americans already in these databases. Why do you think the nsa has resisted providing that . Do you have any idea what the range could be . I think it will be much smaller number of people whose data has been queried and looked at. It will be much smaller. But in terms of you know, the phone companies now will be collecting this data as they always have. And there will be much more narrow authorities for the nsa much more targeted to get that information if they have a reasonable suspicion that somebody is involved in terrorist activity. In terms of what youre fighting for, senator rand paul and you have been here on the same side of pushing beyond just renewing a straight pat jot act. He said of course a whole range of comments and then over the weekend. I want to play the one thats gotten a lot of controversy of course. Lets listen to this. People here in town think im making a huge mistake. Some of them i think secretly want there to be an attack on the United States so they can blame it on me. If youre on the same side right now on this bill we arent. We arent. We arent on the same side. Hes against the usa freedom act as well. And i think that was regrettable that he said that. I heard it when he said it. I i was kind of astonished and saddened by that. Hes walked it back. On the freedom act, she wants to go even farther. Youve both been critics of how the patriot act is being applied. Yes, yes. As i said, i voted against the these authorities when when it came up and because we lack the lack the transparency and thats why ive been working on these transparency provisions for a number of years now. And senator heller and i joined up and wrote the provisions that are in are in this will. You saw that the house passed it overwhelmingly. You know, were im sure in a day or two, going to be passing it in the senate. Its too bad. We could have done this over a week ago. And i think Mitch Mcconnell, for whatever reason, misplayed this. And what do you say to the criticism, though, senator, that the nsa has seemingly misled or kept secret a lot of their operations . As you know, a federal court recently finding that much of this program was unauthorized, essentially saying that you guys, congress, never explicitly okayed it, so it shouldnt have been going on in the first place. So if going back to the nsa asking them to tell us more about their activities, why should we believe them in the future . Thats why the transparency. And what the Second Circuit said was illegal is this bulk Metadata Program that were getting rid of. In terms of the wider politics, it is extraordinary to see how much change there is. We talked about rand paul on the republican side. On the democratic side Hillary Clinton and you have different positions. She did vote for a straight renewal of the patriot act. Do you think she needs to be move or democrats running for president should be moving on this issue given what we know now . Im sure shell be asked about this. Im quite certain that that she would support the usa freedom act as it is written right now. But i dont want to speak for her. And do you think with Bernie Sanders running right now, do you think there needs to be some sort of democratic push on hillary and on sort of having a progressive primary, if you will . Or you think shes good to go and democrats should line up behind her . Well, i support hillary for president. I think shed make a great president. But good for bernie. Bernie had several thousand people out in minnesota, in my state, the other day. And he is raising issues that need to be raised about income inequality, about college affordability, about social security, medicare, Early Childhood education. Hes talking about things that we need to be talking about. And i say good for bernie. Quickly, last question, senator, does anything that we saw happen in the rather unusual session this weekend and Mitch Mcconnell having to move around, do you have anymore optimism that now theres a way for bipartisanship at the grass roots to override what mcconnell might have as his plan a. I think his plan a is gone and were going to plan b. Its its the usa freedom act and that will be he already went to plan b. He abandoned plan a and were at plan b. There you go. Plan b it is. Thank you for spending some time with us. You bet. All right. And coming up, another day, another republican announcing a run for president. We have more on, yes, Lindsey Grahams announcement. And nearly one year after a crash that almost took his life, a very emotional tracy morgan broke his silence today along with his fiancee whos been at his side this entire time.

But if you follow politics at all basically, you are old enough to remember the last time people said she was the inevitable nominee. She is now being nudged from the far left by Bernie Sanders and from the center left by Martin Omalley who jumped in the race this weekend. A dynamic that al frankenjust spoke to tonight. I support hillary for president. But good for bernie. He had several thousand people out in minnesota, in my state, the other day. Hes raising issues that need to be raised. About income inequality, Early Childhood education. Hes talking about things that we need to be talking about and i i say good for bernie. Joining me now, another liberal for hillary, former governor howard dean. How are you . Im doing well. You heard al franken lay it out there. First and foremost, is this part of a good democratic primary process and does Hillary Clinton underestimate Bernie Sanders or do you see him as a candidate with a ceiling . I certainly wouldnt say that. Ive known him for a long time. His whole careers been about economic, social justice. Mostly Economic Justice for working people. So that happens to be the Biggest Issue i think on the page for both parties. When Rick Santorum declared for president of the United States and starts talking about middle class people and social Economic Justice, its pretty good clue that everybodys going to be talking about this. And bernies better at it than most. And governor omalleys hitting it too. I think its fair to say your career shows that you can have a perception as a governor in office, you did many Things Considered that and then go out and run for president. People might perceive you as more liberal. Perceptions come and go. Governor omalley had been battling the idea that he is maybe changing and going hard left. Let me play to your point what he said in his announcement about Goldman Sachs. True story. Goldman sachs, Goldman Sachs is one of the biggest repeat investment banks in america. Recently, the ceo of Goldman Sachs let his employees know that hed be just fine with either bush or clinton. Id bet he would. Number one, and you know governor omalley, do you believe him that he cares about this and thinks that clinton would be bad on wall street in a way that he would be better. And number two, what is the clinton response to that . I dont know what the clinton response to that. If i were Hillary Clinton i wouldnt have a response to that right now. Why bother . Well, i wouldnt say that. Because i like Martin Omalley a lot. I think hes a terrific governor and really good mayor. The problem that both bernie and Martin Omalley have is that Hillary Clinton is running a really Good Campaign and talking about the same issues they are in terms of College Educations that are debtfree, Early Childhood which she has a lock on, shes been working on that her entire career. This is going to be a contest of three people who are going to sound somewhat alike. Bernies going to be more straightened. But theyre all three going to sound roughly the same. In that case, the tide goes to Hillary Clinton. Who knows. Anything can happen in politics. Omalley was a really good governor and got a lot of good stuff done. So i think this can be interesting. I think hillary has to watch out. If she takes this for granted, shes not going to win it. Shes gotten off to a good start. I want to quickly show the newest republican in the race. We try to keep track here. Lindsey graham talking about radical islam running while. Thats part of what he wants to run on. Lets take a look. Simply put, radical islam is running wild. They have more safe havens, more money, more capability and more weapons to strike our homeland than any time since 9 11. They are large, they are rich, theyre entrenched. As president , i will make them small, poor, and on the run. Is this a strong argument for republicans to make against whoever the democratic nominee is going to be . No, this is a base argument. I think the American People have gotten a lot more sophisticated about Foreign Policy in the last 15 or 20 years. I think they get that you dont just go bomb the hell out of isis. They also had a president that did that theth and they know thats not the answer. Hes taking a big risk. The reason is, he could lose the South Carolina primary easily and i think he probably will. Youre saying it looked bad for the native son lose your own state to somebody else. Interesting. He was barely conservative enough to win his own election, his own primary election. Old tea party issue as well. Always fun talking with you. Thank you very much.

They were conducted by Homeland Security red teams who basically posed as passengers at tsa check joints. Now the tsa is stressing that it has a layered approach to security from the moment you buy your ticket and your names compared to the terror watch list, to the curb, to the airport where you have police and k9s, air marshals on board.

How are you feeling . I have good days and my bad days. Sometimes, i dont feel well. Sometimes, mostly i dont feel well. Im really focused on my memory coming back to me, my walking Getting Better, my balance lance is still off. So i have to really focus on those things. There was a terrible accident. The car flipped. Whats the last thing you remember from that night . Saying a joke and looking at jimmy mack and then wanting to get back to my wife. You two were actually talking. On the phone. As the impact occurred. Yes. We were on facetime actually. I didnt know he was in an accident. I just saw reception dropped. Once i found out the time of the accident, i realized i havent heard from tracy since that point. Tracey you mentioned a second ago jimmy mack who died in this crash. You didnt get to see him after the impact did you . No. When did you learn he had passed away . A week after i came out of the coma, my lady leaned over to my bed and said we with buried jimmy about a week ago. I didnt know how to take it. For a long time, we would discuss how how to tell him. Guilty he was feeling because of all the people who were there and especially jimmy mack wasnt even performing, just was there for him. Emotionally speaking have you experienced depression . How you getting through that . I love comedy. And i wonder how im going to be funny again. Remembering my identity. What do i do. And the fans let me know we cant wait for you to come back. We cant wait for you to come back. I cant wait to make them laugh again. I want to say thank you to the people, thank you very much for saving my life. They did, by the way. They did. Thank you, thank you. From me and my family. You know what would be a nice way to thank them . One day walking down those stairs again. I promise you. I promise you. One day when im 100 , im going to grab that mic and i aint never going to let it go. Never. Im going to be the funniest i can be because i aint never going to take life for granted no more. Lot of us are fans of tracy morgan and we are rooting for him. You can find me on facebook. Rand paul and Bernie Sanders. Are they bomb throwers or bellwethers . Lets play hardball. Good evening. Im Chris Matthews in washington. Ryan paul, the libertarian on guard against nsa surveillance and proud socialist Bernie Sanders in attack mode on billionaires and wall street. Well, guess what. These are the boys getting the attention toward 2016. The only pair getting out its message. If you know these guys, you know where they stand. Can you say that about the front runners . The key question now is whether rand paul stands for bigger notions about america than the old frontier fear of government. Does Bernie Sanders have a politically doable plan to pay
