player. on mary. jane i really wanted to teach women of every brain. how to be beautiful and not only on the outside but on the inside because that's where it all starts i always felt female but i've experienced the male life and i do understand how people reacted to someone. and that's the difference that i i i you know things change when you transition. the way people talk to you the way life. transforming created tools soloway said last year that only trans people should play trends characters.

are going to be. i am actually pursing you trade. donald trump and i was going. strong larry king. welcome to larry king now our guest today is actress performance artist and one of the original transgender icons candace game known for nip tuck dirty sexy money ru paul's drag race and caitlin jenner's docu series i am kate candace is going a long time not give us for the community and their new book is high gorgeous transforming inner product into radiant beauty it will be released june twentieth and it's available for preorder now why did you write it girl came up to me at drag con a year ago and said to me you are so gorgeous. i said you know you are too and she

said no i'm not and there was this beautiful little girl and i was like why is this girl not believing she's gorgeous so i really wanted to teach women of every race age gender how to be beautiful and not only on the outside but on the inside because that's where it all starts why do beautiful women of so many is looked in the mirror and not see their beauty i think that they have a really high bar of other people telling them this constantly and so they start but they tell them they're pretty they have to live up to that and that's part of the problem with with you know the voices in your head is that they tell you things to bring you down and in you have to kind of learn how to fight through those little voices you think in your own case having been a man that you have some more insight into this of course i mean i know

i mean i always felt female but i did there wasn't a word for it you know so i i but i've experienced the male life and under understand how people reacted to me as someone who was male and that's the difference that i i know you know really mean i things change when you transition just the way people talk to you the way life happens you know caitlin jenner wrote the forward to your book now and she writes i've learned where some of qantas's confidence comes from it comes from a beautiful soul many is a purging those voices of self-doubt that say you're not good enough you're not pretty enough you're not feminine. great complement amazing so sweet did you think for a time you were gay yeah i actually came out twice because there wasn't a word for trans and so i was attracted to men and i thought. ok i felt female but

i didn't know what that man i didn't they we didn't have google back then you know david so why didn't you just leave it gay because your gender identity and your sexual identity are two totally different things so i realize that it wasn't how i felt wasn't my sexual identity it was more about my gender identity and how i felt in my mind because i was raised by parents that were always accepting. treated me with respect told me i could do anything i wanted to do i was able to make a decision and not be weighed down by it you know was coming out very hard or not because your parents were so liberal it was hard in the fact that you're discovering these new things about yourself and to tell them vocally to your parents it's really kind of hard. like came out at

seventeen. to my parents at nineteen and then as trans they came out at twenty four and they had all all of it well yeah i mean they were they this was in one nine hundred eighty nine are you know so this was really and in an era where it was ok to abuse the l g b t community they were scared for me. but they knew that they had raised me in a way that i would make good decisions and i'd be able to take care of myself are there many many transgenders who have never come out and who people think they're woman or people think them and yeah i mean most of i mean a lot of trans people are able to not a lot but some are able to transition and then just kind of blend into society for me i was. now actress and

a performer and i didn't want to go that route and i also wanted to fight for my community because i i mean the t.v. word wasn't even when i started my transition the t.v. world keyword was and even the in the l g b t sign. there was no t in that sign transfer and greeted jules always said last year that only trans people should play trend characters do you agree yes. i mean there's different there's different levels of that i mean you have a. i am actually i did like a day walk on with alexandria billings i was i played one of her friends at the pool and it became oh my god they get to you know how many there are no i mean there's no there's i mean there's certain you know there's certain kind of statistics but they're very vague because

a lot of the trans community disappears because of you know homophobia and transphobia so i don't know there really is so much is there again the six what eight percent. it was at a guess well we would like to now but apparently this year we're being. taken out of the census so who's to now our guess is the irrepressible candace cain we're discussing trans rights and president trump two after the break and the book is high gorgeous cover. this is a book of tips for every woman alive young old transgender whatever yeah exactly i mean it's it's a it's a book that talks to people about how to get inner confidence and then go to the outer beauty jewels have this i always thought that the book is high gorgeous it will be available june twenty of you can order about the beautiful candace can look

at these pictures pictures throughout the books tips throughout the book delicious decor how to wear things how to wear dresses how to wear diamonds how to put lipstick on and then i could read this see you get turned on. if you have been outspoken in your criticism of donald trump i know many years the first thing he said when asked about o.j. beatty when he was running was i have hotels if they pay and they could use any bedroom they want and then he changed how do you react to that because that the real donald that i knew said that while i mean he's obviously probably playing to his base you know trying to keep that real hard core right core together you know it's surrounded tense group yeah. the problem with that is that when you become president you don't become president to forty percent of the country so what do you make of them i think that he's

a narcissist and he has that. overinflated ego he doesn't listen to anybody he doesn't read anything and his only answer to most questions. these are one hundred forty characters do you think he has been especially rough for the o g b t community yes in the sense that he's surrounded his self in his cabinet with people who are outspoken people against the gay community mike pence his vice president talking about conversion therapy. and hearing of the gay i mean it doesn't make any sense that with just even with all the facts of the science and everything nowadays that you you have people that want to shun science in fact for their religious you know freedom it doesn't make a one who's a fundie yeah if she is conservative yeah and we've gotten into it boy you are the

she's not pro trump. but to her she is conservative she is conservative and we you know we have some debate i mean you saw it on season two of i am kate. i think that. when you get down to the knitting nitty gritty if you're a true conservative you can actually have conversations with liberals and you can argue your fact and then at the end of the day let that go and still become friends and have relationships i mean. nowadays we live in such a poisoned decide it's such a heavy tension in the air. so i didn't want to ever with with kate i didn't want to to carry that into our friendship and i think that was the point that people

missed about the show is that they wanted to focus on that and then not just allow. them to see all of us is who we really are you know so you always had this inner gumption your stand up person your was have been that way when you were a kid yeah as much as they could and when you transformed you know the surgery and everything you know look how you looked you could have blended in you never had to be candice came you could have been candice came without being tagged as came right right because well i live in new know that you're not a woman well i would and i saw the stuff that was going on and i wanted to be an actress and i never wanted to be in a situation like people will someone will always know your past and instead of being this is for me personally instead of being afraid of talking

about my past i wanted to be open about it so i wouldn't be in a situ if i'd never be in a situation where it would come out in an inopportune time if i'm out in addition. you know i would never want to try to become an actress as as not myself in any mean what was it like. the first. as candid as you would know with a man. well it was liberating i mean i would dress you yeah i mean or she would know i was the maze one is the nice to be the friday that oh what was it like to date men as a woman it was freeing it was liberating i felt like my i felt like myself for the first time you know and i i remember thinking you know nothing ever really

worked out when i was trying to date man is a man there was never a connection and they didn't you know but you know i just felt like i was truly myself in that in those situations and that happened in all over the cabinet of my life just like walking down the street every day i remember the first time i threw away all my clothes and i went to the airport i had planned a trip to europe and it was the first time i was living as canada and i i you know walked up to the lady checking tickets and you know she was like thank you ma'am go right in and it was just like you know little things like that most people would never remember but it had such a huge impact on me how do you spell your voices so for them well this is the voice that i've always had. lucky i now this is the hair i've always had to. leave if the right person comes along so far you have

a goal you haven't met and now you know i've i've had some come close come close but i realize that i mean my parents have married fifty five years last week and so i always had this ideal of what it was supposed to be having to have a successful life you know and after my last long term relationship ended i was like that might be just because there who they are and their perfect for each other and i might not find that but it's ok i'm happy alone until i find somebody that i don't have to compromise myself more than fifty percent you know any meaning more than half the relationship coming up campus for family i'm fan and countless closer advice for young trans people struggling to find acceptance we'll be right back. here's what people have been saying about rejected in the us it actually does pull

on. the feel of the show i go out of my way to be what it is that really packs a punch oh yeah it is the john oliver of r t america is doing the same we are apparently better than booth nothing that i see people you've never heard of redacted the night president of the world bank very. seriously send us an e-mail. to the hawks founded by three young americans who love their country but we have to costly question our government watching the hawks brings the stories to give voice voice to. we dig a little deeper we get the stories that the average one else is afraid to touch is afraid to talk about because they don't want to upset their corporate sponsors or

interrupt their government access now is the time more than ever we need to question more. we're in this post truth world heard words have to matter to about educating people and giving them contacts instead of telling them what to think dialogue is far more valuable than to be. honest. with gorgeous she's gorgeous

the book is high gorgeous shots candace came transforming into power into radiant beauty here so that when you were young there was an award for trey in this what did you think you were. forty one if you like to be in the wrong body right just remember you know going and playing one afternoon when i was like six or seven and with my cousins who were twins a boy and a girl and me and my twin brother and they we were all playing together i remember thinking why am i not like tania this doesn't make sense that was at seven having not thought you know rather be one brother have a twin brother and he is male male yeah i have you know married nieces and nephews you dedicated the book to your parents and your brother who you wrote encouraged me to thrive as. my authentic self for my entire life now already advice would you give to young woman a man watching the show maybe fourteen fifteen feeling they're in the wrong body.

are you wanting to have everybody has different definitions of a full and complete life most sexual intercourse would be part of a full and complete life write it in your definition only definition i know right they. play a little game of if you only knew ok i'll just throw things at you do you have a secret talent i am really good at beach volleyball. you told your childhood celebrity crush. jake from sixteen candles to remember that his name person you'd trade places with for a day. donald trump and then i'd resign get. pleasure. you know this is going to sound whatever but i my favorite thing to do is put on my record in my record player open all the windows in my house and go out and garden in my backyard where you live glendale well you can walk out. job

to think. you know i i i'm not i'm not attracted to women in that way so it's not really what i would i would do you know what i mean the dating scene and i see it when flawed how can the c.i.s. community help you fight trumps hate filled agenda just. be an ally you know go out we don't have any we haven't we don't have the house we don't have the senate we don't have the presidency the only way that we can stop horrifying things from happening happening is to get out march be vocal rally marches the gay pride parade you know a will not be a parade will not be gay pride will not be drawn floats it will be a protest march freshening crowd you agree with that yeah i do i mean

when when gay pride started it wasn't about people you know. in heels on float since celebrating it was a fight it was fighting for our rights to be acknowledged to be seen to be taken seriously so the i'm going to go there and i'm going to run for president. one why not who knows you know why you never tried it before i know i don't think any trans woman has let's let's give it a run. did you really know about margaret thatcher did. the daily angle how close are you to cable in general really and how politics of the friendship really i mean we talked about that you're just saying really like like really work we're close we talk all the time she's been busy i've been busy with her book tour coming on your show. and so when we talk we just

talk you know about certain things we've we've gotten into it politically before you know off camera. but i've always been able to say. that's how you feel that's how i feel we fight first second and then we let it go and play a round of golf so it's you know. there's two are just going to say there's too much hate going on right now that it's that what we as a community especially the l g b t community should be fighting each other we have so many wars to wage with people attacking us you know they mean you used to book form in drag do you miss it i still do it. i still put on a heel and hair piece and do full makeup and i do my one woman show i love it i'll never give up performing camerawoman my drag larry queen reclean larry queen you

said in the past that there can be segregation between the gay community and the trans community yeah. i do i think it's getting better i think shows like ru paul's drag race even though it is track and has nothing to do with trans there are still that there's an element of high glamour and. and shows like transparent and you know i am kate are helping bridge the communities together your delight galling wonderful and me and my pleasure thanks to my guests candace kane hi gorgeous transforming in the power into radiant beauty available june twentieth solos you can find me on twitter king's things see you next time.

i do not know if the russian state hacked into john podesta emails and gave them to wiki leaks but i do know barack obama's director of national intelligence has not provided credible to support his claims of russia i also know he perjured himself in a senate hearing three months before the revelations provided by edward snowden he denied to be n.s.a. was carrying out wholesale surveillance of the us. the hyperventilating corporate has once again proved to be an echo for government claims that cannot be verified you would have thought they would have learned something after serving as george w. bush's useful idiots in the lead up to the invasion of iraq. it is vitally. but the press remains rooted in a fact based universe especially when we enter an era when truth and fiction are becoming interesting with.

all the world. and all the news companies merely players but what kind of part does our n.t. america play r.t. america offer much more r.t. america there's. many ways the news landscape is just like the real news big news good actors bad actors and in the end you could never your. so the park and all the world all the world all the world's a stage we are definitely.

welcome to another week in the swamp watchers when it comes to the divide between rural and urban america nothing could spin the mind quite so much the perspective from each side is that one doesn't know what life is like for the other and the truth is they don't according to a washington post kaiser family foundation survey of seven hundred americans in rural areas and small towns they found that sixty seven percent of rural residents rated the job opportunities in their communities as fair or poor while urban residents were split fifty fifty between fair and excellent were american see so little hope for their communities that fifty nine percent of those surveyed said that young people should move away from their home towns and cities only forty one percent think young people move away and much of that may be the fault of perceptions city folk don't understand the struggle of country folk and country folk think everyone else.
