WEBVTT - Kris Kardashian Jenner

0:00:00.560 --> 0:00:03.360
<v Speaker 1>I'm Alec Baldwin, and here's the thing. I'd like to

0:00:03.360 --> 0:00:06.520
<v Speaker 1>play a little word association. Say the first thing that

0:00:06.600 --> 0:00:12.560
<v Speaker 1>comes to your mind when I say Kardashian. Okay, okay,

0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.080
<v Speaker 1>I get that now. I'd like you to listen in

0:00:15.120 --> 0:00:18.479
<v Speaker 1>on a conversation I had with Chris Kardashian Jenner, the

0:00:18.560 --> 0:00:22.360
<v Speaker 1>matriarch of the Kardashian Empire. When we're done, let's do

0:00:22.560 --> 0:00:25.639
<v Speaker 1>a word association again and see if you have a

0:00:25.680 --> 0:00:29.920
<v Speaker 1>different response. I met Chris over ten years ago. Sing

0:00:29.920 --> 0:00:32.440
<v Speaker 1>a song with me. Chris, ready, sing a song. We're

0:00:32.440 --> 0:00:36.120
<v Speaker 1>going to sing. The song will come out tomorrow. I'll

0:00:36.200 --> 0:00:40.960
<v Speaker 1>bet your bottom dollar that tomorrow. Our daughters attended school together.

0:00:41.600 --> 0:00:45.720
<v Speaker 1>And added bonus there was that Chris's husband, Olympic decathlon

0:00:45.840 --> 0:00:50.360
<v Speaker 1>champion Bruce Jenner, was their private track coach. And then

0:00:51.159 --> 0:00:57.600
<v Speaker 1>and say, okay, that's enough, right. Chris Jenner always calls

0:00:57.640 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 1>the shots. She describes herself this way, complete control freak.

0:01:02.280 --> 0:01:05.880
<v Speaker 1>She and her husband Bruce have ten kids between them.

0:01:05.920 --> 0:01:10.240
<v Speaker 1>We're most familiar with their five girls, Courtney, Chloe, Kim, Kendall,

0:01:10.360 --> 0:01:13.680
<v Speaker 1>and Kylie, who, along with their parents, are the subjects

0:01:13.720 --> 0:01:17.560
<v Speaker 1>of Keeping up with the Kardashians and three spinoff shows

0:01:17.840 --> 0:01:20.840
<v Speaker 1>on the cable channel E. This is a family that's

0:01:21.000 --> 0:01:25.040
<v Speaker 1>used to publicity even before their TV shows existed. A

0:01:25.080 --> 0:01:28.039
<v Speaker 1>former boyfriend of Kim's leaked to sex video of the

0:01:28.080 --> 0:01:30.880
<v Speaker 1>two of them. It's clear this family has made the

0:01:30.920 --> 0:01:35.440
<v Speaker 1>most of the spotlight and nothing is off topic. Seriously,

0:01:35.640 --> 0:01:39.560
<v Speaker 1>that you need a bikini acs from here. By now,

0:01:39.600 --> 0:01:42.959
<v Speaker 1>we're all pretty used to the reality TV concept. But

0:01:43.000 --> 0:01:46.520
<v Speaker 1>in the early nineteen seventies, when PBS turned a camera

0:01:46.600 --> 0:01:50.080
<v Speaker 1>on the Loud Family in northern California to create the

0:01:50.120 --> 0:01:54.240
<v Speaker 1>program An American Family, this was breaking new ground. The

0:01:54.360 --> 0:02:00.520
<v Speaker 1>Louds are neither average nor typical. No family is. Did

0:02:00.600 --> 0:02:02.760
<v Speaker 1>you watch the American Family? You can see the Louds

0:02:02.760 --> 0:02:04.760
<v Speaker 1>when they want. Ever watch that show so that you

0:02:04.800 --> 0:02:07.360
<v Speaker 1>know who they are. Right. So, American Family was considered

0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:10.600
<v Speaker 1>the mother of all reality shows, and the Louds were

0:02:10.760 --> 0:02:12.720
<v Speaker 1>this family where they kept the camera on them and

0:02:12.800 --> 0:02:15.919
<v Speaker 1>a lot of things happened. The sun Lanceloud came out

0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:19.960
<v Speaker 1>as a homosexual on camera, the parents split up on camera.

0:02:20.040 --> 0:02:22.920
<v Speaker 1>It was really like the family had allowed themselves to

0:02:22.960 --> 0:02:27.440
<v Speaker 1>be shot verite style, hour after hour after hour, and

0:02:27.440 --> 0:02:31.920
<v Speaker 1>these people had no sense of humor. How are you doing? Oh,

0:02:32.000 --> 0:02:35.840
<v Speaker 1>I up from a nap, didn't you? I'm getting and

0:02:35.960 --> 0:02:38.040
<v Speaker 1>a boy. And how about food? Are you getting a

0:02:38.080 --> 0:02:44.160
<v Speaker 1>lot of food? Well? I think you guys have to

0:02:44.160 --> 0:02:46.880
<v Speaker 1>stay united and realize that anything that either one of

0:02:46.919 --> 0:02:50.840
<v Speaker 1>you does builds the whole. Kardashian brand. My sister, Yes,

0:02:51.200 --> 0:02:55.600
<v Speaker 1>the brand. The Kardashian Collection, a line of clothes and

0:02:55.639 --> 0:02:59.399
<v Speaker 1>accessories that Chris and her family recently launched. Last year,

0:02:59.760 --> 0:03:07.239
<v Speaker 1>the family earned sixty million dollars in profits. Chris Kardashian

0:03:07.360 --> 0:03:11.000
<v Speaker 1>Jenner explained where it all began. We've always been a

0:03:11.000 --> 0:03:15.240
<v Speaker 1>really close, big family. I met Bruce. I had four kids,

0:03:15.280 --> 0:03:17.480
<v Speaker 1>he had four kids. We got married, had two kids. No,

0:03:17.600 --> 0:03:19.840
<v Speaker 1>we have this family with ten kids. So your first husband,

0:03:20.320 --> 0:03:24.000
<v Speaker 1>Robert and I was married four kids with him while

0:03:24.040 --> 0:03:26.720
<v Speaker 1>I was going through my divorce. I met Bruce Jenner

0:03:26.800 --> 0:03:29.440
<v Speaker 1>at the very end of like, I was days away

0:03:29.520 --> 0:03:32.600
<v Speaker 1>from a finalization of my divorce and never really wanted

0:03:32.600 --> 0:03:34.800
<v Speaker 1>to date much more. I was like, I was done.

0:03:34.840 --> 0:03:37.040
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted to raise my kids. And you know,

0:03:37.240 --> 0:03:39.240
<v Speaker 1>it kicked my ass a little bit. Even though I

0:03:39.280 --> 0:03:41.480
<v Speaker 1>was the one who left the marriage. It was really

0:03:41.480 --> 0:03:46.560
<v Speaker 1>hard met Bruce and we got married seven months later. Anyway,

0:03:46.600 --> 0:03:50.040
<v Speaker 1>we had this big, crazy family and everybody who spent

0:03:50.080 --> 0:03:53.040
<v Speaker 1>any amount of time with us would say, you guys

0:03:53.040 --> 0:03:56.640
<v Speaker 1>should do your own reality show. They would observe the

0:03:56.800 --> 0:04:02.600
<v Speaker 1>swirlings on was an active behind craziness everything you see. Yeah,

0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:06.680
<v Speaker 1>a lot of big, crazy personalities in one household makes

0:04:06.720 --> 0:04:08.480
<v Speaker 1>for a lot of drama at all times. So what

0:04:08.560 --> 0:04:11.760
<v Speaker 1>happened was we were having dinner one night with a

0:04:11.800 --> 0:04:14.400
<v Speaker 1>friend of mine, Dina Katz, who happens to be the

0:04:14.440 --> 0:04:16.919
<v Speaker 1>casting director for Dancing with the Stars, came by the

0:04:16.920 --> 0:04:21.240
<v Speaker 1>house for dinner with her husband, saw the pandemonium that

0:04:21.320 --> 0:04:24.680
<v Speaker 1>was going on in my house with Courtney walking in

0:04:24.880 --> 0:04:28.279
<v Speaker 1>and Kim swirling around and um, somebody yelling for my

0:04:28.360 --> 0:04:32.440
<v Speaker 1>seven year old line one, and she was like, this

0:04:32.720 --> 0:04:35.400
<v Speaker 1>is nuts. Do you guys need your own reality show?

0:04:35.960 --> 0:04:39.560
<v Speaker 1>She said, you know, I just came from a meeting

0:04:39.600 --> 0:04:42.720
<v Speaker 1>at Ryan's Seacrests office today and they're looking for a

0:04:42.760 --> 0:04:45.280
<v Speaker 1>reality show. If I call him, will you take a meeting?

0:04:45.320 --> 0:04:49.120
<v Speaker 1>And I said absolutely. Within thirty days we were shooting

0:04:49.120 --> 0:04:51.760
<v Speaker 1>our show. So was the show that you're doing the

0:04:51.800 --> 0:04:54.599
<v Speaker 1>show that was pitched that it evolved when I came

0:04:54.640 --> 0:04:57.719
<v Speaker 1>home and said, family, we have a show. We all

0:04:57.800 --> 0:04:59.880
<v Speaker 1>sat down, especially Kim, and said, if we're going to

0:05:00.040 --> 0:05:02.640
<v Speaker 1>do this, we're going to roll camera at all times.

0:05:02.839 --> 0:05:06.479
<v Speaker 1>What did they say about that? Everybody agreed. Courtney was

0:05:06.480 --> 0:05:09.960
<v Speaker 1>a little hesitant. She's my oldest. She is the most practical,

0:05:10.120 --> 0:05:13.320
<v Speaker 1>she thinks about things. She's the most like you. No,

0:05:13.480 --> 0:05:16.039
<v Speaker 1>because I'm more spontaneous. I'm very If you said to

0:05:16.040 --> 0:05:18.400
<v Speaker 1>me right now, let's go ski and the Alps, I'd go,

0:05:18.800 --> 0:05:21.960
<v Speaker 1>let's go. She can't even pick out carpet. Takes her

0:05:22.000 --> 0:05:25.880
<v Speaker 1>a week to pick a color, so she she had

0:05:25.920 --> 0:05:28.640
<v Speaker 1>to digest the whole thing. And that's fine. She did that,

0:05:28.680 --> 0:05:30.359
<v Speaker 1>and she decided, you know what, this could be a

0:05:30.360 --> 0:05:33.560
<v Speaker 1>lot of fun. I think what attracted all of us

0:05:34.040 --> 0:05:36.760
<v Speaker 1>was the fact of, Wow, we're going to be able

0:05:36.839 --> 0:05:38.839
<v Speaker 1>to I feel like the luckiest woman in the world

0:05:38.920 --> 0:05:41.240
<v Speaker 1>because I get to get up every single day and

0:05:41.279 --> 0:05:44.400
<v Speaker 1>I work with my kids and my family, and I mean,

0:05:44.760 --> 0:05:48.440
<v Speaker 1>you can get more controlling than that. To me, you

0:05:48.480 --> 0:05:51.839
<v Speaker 1>are a parent, and you are a confidant and a

0:05:51.880 --> 0:05:54.120
<v Speaker 1>friend with a parent to the extent that any parent

0:05:54.200 --> 0:05:56.240
<v Speaker 1>can be. But also, you know, are you the one

0:05:56.360 --> 0:06:00.440
<v Speaker 1>calling the shots. Business wise, who tells the three beatles

0:06:00.480 --> 0:06:04.640
<v Speaker 1>here what to do? Me? You do? Yeah, So you're

0:06:04.640 --> 0:06:07.839
<v Speaker 1>the boss, you are the more manager, and you either

0:06:08.000 --> 0:06:10.760
<v Speaker 1>tell them or cajole them into doing what you think

0:06:10.800 --> 0:06:13.040
<v Speaker 1>needs to be done for their business interests. Now, that's

0:06:13.040 --> 0:06:15.200
<v Speaker 1>a good way to put it, telling cajole. Do the

0:06:15.200 --> 0:06:17.200
<v Speaker 1>girls wake up some days to say I don't want

0:06:17.200 --> 0:06:18.600
<v Speaker 1>to be this person. I don't want to do this

0:06:18.640 --> 0:06:22.880
<v Speaker 1>crap another day? That's grind the grind. Lots of people

0:06:22.920 --> 0:06:25.440
<v Speaker 1>think that doing a show like we do is very easy,

0:06:25.520 --> 0:06:27.839
<v Speaker 1>but what comes with it is you now have a

0:06:27.880 --> 0:06:31.320
<v Speaker 1>responsibility to not only your family, but you have a

0:06:31.320 --> 0:06:34.640
<v Speaker 1>responsibility to an entire network. Now you're the number one

0:06:34.760 --> 0:06:38.360
<v Speaker 1>show hit show on a network that's getting incredible numbers.

0:06:38.520 --> 0:06:40.919
<v Speaker 1>You've remade that network. I don't know about that. But

0:06:41.000 --> 0:06:44.360
<v Speaker 1>we work really hard. These girls have the best work ethic.

0:06:44.560 --> 0:06:46.559
<v Speaker 1>They will wake up at four o'clock in the morning

0:06:46.640 --> 0:06:49.320
<v Speaker 1>and they work until they fall down, and they get

0:06:49.400 --> 0:06:52.320
<v Speaker 1>up the next day and they do it all over again.

0:06:52.480 --> 0:06:55.680
<v Speaker 1>Courtney amazes me every single day. She's a new mom.

0:06:55.760 --> 0:06:58.279
<v Speaker 1>She gave birth and a week later they were doing

0:06:58.320 --> 0:07:01.080
<v Speaker 1>a photo shoot. I lay in bed for ten days

0:07:01.320 --> 0:07:03.880
<v Speaker 1>after I gave birth and eight bond bonds. And one

0:07:03.880 --> 0:07:06.280
<v Speaker 1>of the things I'm wondering is could the Kardashians as

0:07:06.320 --> 0:07:08.839
<v Speaker 1>the public know them, could they have existed in Chicago

0:07:09.120 --> 0:07:11.680
<v Speaker 1>or Cincinnati or how much of your life you Chris

0:07:11.840 --> 0:07:17.920
<v Speaker 1>Jenner is driven by the Los Angeles cultural impart in

0:07:17.960 --> 0:07:22.240
<v Speaker 1>my mind, one that focuses on wealth, fame, beauty. It

0:07:22.280 --> 0:07:25.440
<v Speaker 1>definitely would not be the same show someplace else. There

0:07:25.440 --> 0:07:28.080
<v Speaker 1>would be a much different dynamic because of the way

0:07:28.120 --> 0:07:31.320
<v Speaker 1>that I would maybe naturally raise my kids. But here's

0:07:31.360 --> 0:07:34.280
<v Speaker 1>the interesting thing. You've seen where I live. I've seen

0:07:34.280 --> 0:07:36.920
<v Speaker 1>a couple of places you've lived, rural in hidden hills,

0:07:37.440 --> 0:07:40.200
<v Speaker 1>in the community of the shinier house now than used

0:07:40.240 --> 0:07:43.160
<v Speaker 1>to have. After that, you know, we've lost up the floors,

0:07:43.680 --> 0:07:48.680
<v Speaker 1>but it's still a neighborhood that's horsey and rural and family.

0:07:48.760 --> 0:07:51.800
<v Speaker 1>You know, it's the kind of place where we enjoy

0:07:51.920 --> 0:07:55.680
<v Speaker 1>spending our time, even though we have that Hollywood craziness

0:07:55.760 --> 0:07:59.000
<v Speaker 1>swirling around us at all times. Los Angeles, because I

0:07:59.080 --> 0:08:02.000
<v Speaker 1>moved there when I was an it's really all I know.

0:08:02.640 --> 0:08:05.200
<v Speaker 1>I get energy off of it. It's what makes me tick.

0:08:05.320 --> 0:08:08.080
<v Speaker 1>There's always something to do I love the Hollywood side

0:08:08.080 --> 0:08:09.480
<v Speaker 1>of it. What do you think the girls would have

0:08:09.480 --> 0:08:11.120
<v Speaker 1>done with their lives? Have they not been doing what

0:08:11.160 --> 0:08:13.520
<v Speaker 1>they're doing before we did the show? Where were they headed?

0:08:13.640 --> 0:08:17.120
<v Speaker 1>We opened stores, one of them was Smooched, the children's

0:08:17.120 --> 0:08:20.000
<v Speaker 1>clothing store, remember, and the other was Dash. All that

0:08:20.080 --> 0:08:23.160
<v Speaker 1>was going on long before. Yeah, we would have been

0:08:23.760 --> 0:08:28.600
<v Speaker 1>so happy. This is starting with my mom. My mother

0:08:29.600 --> 0:08:31.640
<v Speaker 1>had to do something to make a living for herself.

0:08:32.080 --> 0:08:35.520
<v Speaker 1>My grandmother had a candle store in Lahoya. What happened

0:08:35.600 --> 0:08:37.720
<v Speaker 1>was my dad passed away. He was in a car accident,

0:08:37.800 --> 0:08:39.600
<v Speaker 1>was in I See You for sixteen weeks in a

0:08:39.679 --> 0:08:44.199
<v Speaker 1>hospital in San Diego. Died my stepdad. And during that time,

0:08:44.240 --> 0:08:46.640
<v Speaker 1>my mother called me up and she said, listen, I'm

0:08:46.640 --> 0:08:49.440
<v Speaker 1>going to close my store because I really want to

0:08:49.480 --> 0:08:51.600
<v Speaker 1>go be with your dad. Every day at I see

0:08:51.640 --> 0:08:53.160
<v Speaker 1>you and I see try not closing your store. You

0:08:53.200 --> 0:08:55.960
<v Speaker 1>just bought all the clothes for Easter. I'm coming down.

0:08:56.000 --> 0:08:58.040
<v Speaker 1>I'm going to run your store. I would go to

0:08:58.120 --> 0:09:00.480
<v Speaker 1>my mom's for five days, come home for five of hours.

0:09:00.600 --> 0:09:03.440
<v Speaker 1>And this went on until my dad eventually passed away

0:09:03.480 --> 0:09:05.679
<v Speaker 1>and I came home after the funeral, and I was

0:09:05.880 --> 0:09:10.800
<v Speaker 1>very sad, and I called up Courtney and I said, Courtney,

0:09:10.960 --> 0:09:12.840
<v Speaker 1>I know this sounds crazy, but I'm opening up a

0:09:12.920 --> 0:09:16.400
<v Speaker 1>children's store. I miss working at Grandma's. Do you want

0:09:16.400 --> 0:09:19.800
<v Speaker 1>to be my partner. We had no business plan, we

0:09:19.840 --> 0:09:24.240
<v Speaker 1>had no idea what we were doing. We drove around Calabasas.

0:09:24.360 --> 0:09:27.400
<v Speaker 1>I said, I like that store. I leased it. That

0:09:27.520 --> 0:09:30.560
<v Speaker 1>day we went to the mart. We bought like seven

0:09:31.200 --> 0:09:34.400
<v Speaker 1>Bruce after seven months. You're a decisive gala in a

0:09:34.400 --> 0:09:35.840
<v Speaker 1>good way. But what I want to say to you

0:09:35.920 --> 0:09:39.200
<v Speaker 1>is how much did you make decisions? What if one

0:09:39.200 --> 0:09:41.200
<v Speaker 1>of your daughters turned down you tomorrow said I'm out,

0:09:41.440 --> 0:09:45.520
<v Speaker 1>I'm done. I respect my kids so much for their

0:09:45.559 --> 0:09:49.600
<v Speaker 1>own particular personalities, but the one thing that's so important

0:09:49.600 --> 0:09:52.640
<v Speaker 1>to me is their faith. I've taken them to church

0:09:52.679 --> 0:09:54.880
<v Speaker 1>since the day they were born. It's such a big

0:09:54.880 --> 0:09:57.720
<v Speaker 1>part of our Yeah, well he's on the golf course,

0:09:57.760 --> 0:10:01.120
<v Speaker 1>we go to church. We have long conversation about, you know,

0:10:01.200 --> 0:10:04.600
<v Speaker 1>the difference between what's really superficial and fluffy and everything else.

0:10:04.640 --> 0:10:06.800
<v Speaker 1>And tell me about that. Because these are girls who

0:10:06.920 --> 0:10:11.240
<v Speaker 1>obviously are characterized and are framed as kind of the

0:10:11.320 --> 0:10:14.760
<v Speaker 1>you know, the the zenith of kind of of the moment,

0:10:15.040 --> 0:10:18.800
<v Speaker 1>current young beauty, and three years from now it's going

0:10:18.840 --> 0:10:22.080
<v Speaker 1>to be keeping up with the Clons or somebody, right.

0:10:22.160 --> 0:10:25.120
<v Speaker 1>So I think that what makes them so amazing is

0:10:25.120 --> 0:10:27.760
<v Speaker 1>they don't take themselves too seriously. When you get to

0:10:27.800 --> 0:10:30.840
<v Speaker 1>know them, you really realize. People will say to me,

0:10:31.320 --> 0:10:35.319
<v Speaker 1>I spent time with Kim and she's unbelievable. She's gorgeous

0:10:35.440 --> 0:10:39.080
<v Speaker 1>on the inside too, And I'm like, yeah, how much

0:10:39.280 --> 0:10:43.200
<v Speaker 1>as a woman have you been focused on and thus

0:10:43.280 --> 0:10:46.240
<v Speaker 1>imparted to your daughters that as women you need to

0:10:46.320 --> 0:10:49.000
<v Speaker 1>have your own financial security. How much of this was

0:10:49.040 --> 0:10:54.199
<v Speaker 1>about your drive that you want your own money that's yours.

0:10:54.920 --> 0:10:58.320
<v Speaker 1>It's never a bad idea to have your own pile. Absolutely,

0:10:58.640 --> 0:11:01.120
<v Speaker 1>I think that they're very motive. Courtney is the most

0:11:01.200 --> 0:11:05.199
<v Speaker 1>frugal and my oldest, and she loves business and she

0:11:05.360 --> 0:11:08.120
<v Speaker 1>loves making money, and so does Kim, and so does Chloe,

0:11:08.160 --> 0:11:11.360
<v Speaker 1>and they love. They will scold me, mom, why would

0:11:11.360 --> 0:11:13.120
<v Speaker 1>you buy that? You know that's way too much money?

0:11:13.160 --> 0:11:14.480
<v Speaker 1>Or well, how could you do that and save for

0:11:14.520 --> 0:11:17.480
<v Speaker 1>a rainy day? And like the chables returned. They're telling

0:11:17.520 --> 0:11:20.640
<v Speaker 1>me like, you're in the family flow your role mom,

0:11:20.679 --> 0:11:25.640
<v Speaker 1>because you're like out of control. Yeah. They have taught

0:11:25.720 --> 0:11:29.560
<v Speaker 1>me something about business and work ethic, and I have

0:11:29.640 --> 0:11:33.640
<v Speaker 1>interested them about drive and about having your own things.

0:11:33.640 --> 0:11:36.800
<v Speaker 1>All my children except for Robert and Kendall and Kylie

0:11:36.840 --> 0:11:40.280
<v Speaker 1>have gone out and bought their own homes. They're working

0:11:40.320 --> 0:11:43.599
<v Speaker 1>people who contribute to society. You know, you have to

0:11:43.640 --> 0:11:45.680
<v Speaker 1>look at the whole picture and go, wow, you know what.

0:11:46.200 --> 0:11:55.880
<v Speaker 1>They may be crazy, but they're good crazy. More of

0:11:55.920 --> 0:11:59.360
<v Speaker 1>my conversation with Chris Kardashian Jenner is coming up in

0:11:59.400 --> 0:12:02.320
<v Speaker 1>a minute. I'm Alec Baldwin and you're listening to Here's

0:12:02.360 --> 0:12:21.680
<v Speaker 1>the thing. This is Alec Baldwin and you're listening to

0:12:21.880 --> 0:12:25.360
<v Speaker 1>here's the thing. I'm talking with Chris Kardashian jen Or,

0:12:25.360 --> 0:12:30.160
<v Speaker 1>the matriarch of the Kardashian clan. Was this the plan?

0:12:30.840 --> 0:12:32.720
<v Speaker 1>Did you think you were going to end up where

0:12:32.760 --> 0:12:34.880
<v Speaker 1>you are now doing what you're doing with this multi

0:12:35.000 --> 0:12:39.079
<v Speaker 1>headed hydra of jewelry and fragrances and clothes? And it

0:12:39.120 --> 0:12:41.520
<v Speaker 1>was the wish, the fantasy. It was to have a

0:12:41.520 --> 0:12:44.679
<v Speaker 1>clothing line. The fantasy was to have a fragrance. We

0:12:44.720 --> 0:12:47.400
<v Speaker 1>had retail stores. I was working in a shop. I

0:12:47.440 --> 0:12:49.840
<v Speaker 1>sold t shirts. This is what I did all day long.

0:12:50.040 --> 0:12:53.560
<v Speaker 1>When you have a retail store, you want customers. Somebody

0:12:53.559 --> 0:12:56.400
<v Speaker 1>says to you, we could do a TV show and

0:12:56.520 --> 0:12:59.640
<v Speaker 1>we're going to shine a camera on your shop every day. Hello,

0:13:00.000 --> 0:13:03.320
<v Speaker 1>I'm signing up. The TV show was really just something

0:13:03.360 --> 0:13:06.240
<v Speaker 1>you did because it's it's the other things that you

0:13:06.320 --> 0:13:08.080
<v Speaker 1>wanted to do and all just kind of give up.

0:13:08.160 --> 0:13:11.760
<v Speaker 1>Let me ask you this, I think I got really lucky. Well,

0:13:11.800 --> 0:13:14.880
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I'm not quite sure that I would ever

0:13:15.160 --> 0:13:19.000
<v Speaker 1>want to live that kind of life. Someone said to me,

0:13:19.559 --> 0:13:22.200
<v Speaker 1>what's your greatest dream me? And I said, well, I've

0:13:22.200 --> 0:13:23.880
<v Speaker 1>got a whole raft of them, and there's many things

0:13:23.920 --> 0:13:26.040
<v Speaker 1>I'd like to do. I said, my dream would be

0:13:26.240 --> 0:13:28.880
<v Speaker 1>to sleep in the same bed for one year and

0:13:28.920 --> 0:13:31.439
<v Speaker 1>never get on an airplane for a year. But you

0:13:31.480 --> 0:13:35.000
<v Speaker 1>have to remember that most of the year, if we're shooting,

0:13:35.440 --> 0:13:38.400
<v Speaker 1>I'm in my own bed, in my own house a long.

0:13:38.520 --> 0:13:40.560
<v Speaker 1>I don't know if I could do that meaning contruse

0:13:40.600 --> 0:13:43.000
<v Speaker 1>to me. I wanted my home to be this sanctuary

0:13:43.120 --> 0:13:45.760
<v Speaker 1>where when I closed the door, that's where I knew

0:13:45.800 --> 0:13:47.680
<v Speaker 1>there was no cameras and I could say the F

0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:49.400
<v Speaker 1>bomb and I could be whatever I wanted to be.

0:13:49.760 --> 0:13:54.160
<v Speaker 1>Now to link this to something else. You know your husband, Bruce,

0:13:54.600 --> 0:13:58.280
<v Speaker 1>he's a pretty rock rib conservative guy. The Bruce that

0:13:58.360 --> 0:14:01.679
<v Speaker 1>I knew was in a network of very you know,

0:14:01.760 --> 0:14:06.440
<v Speaker 1>kind of moderately conservative golfing buddies with Arnold. He's not

0:14:06.440 --> 0:14:08.520
<v Speaker 1>a Hollywood liberal by any stretch. And he and I

0:14:08.520 --> 0:14:10.680
<v Speaker 1>would joke with each other about that. I'd pull up

0:14:10.720 --> 0:14:12.880
<v Speaker 1>to the school to drop my door in a Prius

0:14:12.920 --> 0:14:15.120
<v Speaker 1>and Bruce would be like, in an escalade and he

0:14:15.160 --> 0:14:17.600
<v Speaker 1>would laugh at me. He'd be like, that's what you're driving, buddy, Yeah,

0:14:17.640 --> 0:14:20.640
<v Speaker 1>he's crazy. What has this whole experience done to your

0:14:20.960 --> 0:14:23.600
<v Speaker 1>marriage or for your marriage? And what's it done to

0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:26.920
<v Speaker 1>or for Bruce's career? Meaning Bruce had his own identity

0:14:27.480 --> 0:14:29.720
<v Speaker 1>as a man who not only won the decathlon, the

0:14:29.760 --> 0:14:32.960
<v Speaker 1>Olympic gold medal in the decathlon, but posted very, very

0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:36.480
<v Speaker 1>valid times. The score that he posted was a world

0:14:36.560 --> 0:14:40.120
<v Speaker 1>record eight thousand, six hundred and thirty four points. And

0:14:41.160 --> 0:14:44.000
<v Speaker 1>I will tell you that last week at the US

0:14:44.360 --> 0:14:47.800
<v Speaker 1>Truck and Field Championships, the guy who posted number one

0:14:48.000 --> 0:14:51.280
<v Speaker 1>still did not have eight thousand, six hundred and so Bruce.

0:14:51.400 --> 0:14:55.880
<v Speaker 1>Everybody knows who Bruce's and he's this athletic. God, Believe me.

0:14:55.920 --> 0:14:57.560
<v Speaker 1>When I was a kid, I was at the breakfast

0:14:57.560 --> 0:14:59.280
<v Speaker 1>table with the wheat. He's on my table, and you know,

0:14:59.320 --> 0:15:01.880
<v Speaker 1>I was going, how do I get to be him? So?

0:15:02.480 --> 0:15:04.320
<v Speaker 1>What has this whole experience meant to Bruce and to

0:15:04.440 --> 0:15:08.880
<v Speaker 1>your marriage? Bruce is amazingly I don't know where he

0:15:08.920 --> 0:15:14.600
<v Speaker 1>gets it, this inner strength and character and zen that

0:15:14.680 --> 0:15:18.440
<v Speaker 1>he has deep down inside where a bomb could go

0:15:18.520 --> 0:15:20.680
<v Speaker 1>off in the living room and he would go, what

0:15:20.720 --> 0:15:24.720
<v Speaker 1>was that? Nothing rattles him and he I think has

0:15:24.920 --> 0:15:30.360
<v Speaker 1>great faith in me. He trusts me. What bothers Bruce

0:15:30.600 --> 0:15:37.479
<v Speaker 1>and really gets him crazy mad is when they talk inappropriately,

0:15:37.560 --> 0:15:40.840
<v Speaker 1>like Chloe. You know, she can talk like a sailor sometimes.

0:15:41.160 --> 0:15:43.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, they've just always been a little rough around

0:15:43.720 --> 0:15:47.280
<v Speaker 1>the edges, not Kim at all. But Courtney can really

0:15:48.240 --> 0:15:52.240
<v Speaker 1>sing a fine tune and Chloe, Yeah, Chloe can drop

0:15:52.280 --> 0:15:56.080
<v Speaker 1>the bomb. I didn't raise them like that. I mean

0:15:56.120 --> 0:15:57.760
<v Speaker 1>I once in a while can have a potty mouth,

0:15:57.840 --> 0:16:00.960
<v Speaker 1>for sure, but you don't like ray your kids with,

0:16:01.200 --> 0:16:04.440
<v Speaker 1>you know, flinging f bombs all day long. Chloe really

0:16:04.560 --> 0:16:07.440
<v Speaker 1>has this little sassy personality that can really get under

0:16:07.480 --> 0:16:09.280
<v Speaker 1>What do you think that comes from is it another

0:16:09.320 --> 0:16:12.840
<v Speaker 1>manifestation of the one who least really wants to be

0:16:13.000 --> 0:16:18.520
<v Speaker 1>there Because she's the most private, That's how she is.

0:16:18.560 --> 0:16:22.160
<v Speaker 1>She's very salty, like pretzel salty. When you've dealt with

0:16:22.200 --> 0:16:25.720
<v Speaker 1>some of the most painful moments, real scandal for one

0:16:25.760 --> 0:16:28.040
<v Speaker 1>of the girls, that was really, really tough. And you

0:16:28.080 --> 0:16:30.040
<v Speaker 1>and I remember we spoke. I know you called me.

0:16:30.160 --> 0:16:32.240
<v Speaker 1>I remember I called you and I said to you,

0:16:32.960 --> 0:16:36.200
<v Speaker 1>remember to tell her Kim that it's not like she

0:16:36.720 --> 0:16:41.480
<v Speaker 1>was caught on tape counterfeiting money, beating a child, robbing

0:16:41.480 --> 0:16:44.640
<v Speaker 1>a bank, stealing a person, a homeless person. She was

0:16:44.720 --> 0:16:47.200
<v Speaker 1>caught on tape doing something that everybody does all day long,

0:16:47.200 --> 0:16:48.600
<v Speaker 1>if they had their way. It was done like it's

0:16:48.600 --> 0:16:51.720
<v Speaker 1>an unhealthy practice. How did you help her get through that?

0:16:52.200 --> 0:16:54.720
<v Speaker 1>And how do you help your kids get through because

0:16:54.720 --> 0:16:58.480
<v Speaker 1>there's still young people. Kim got through that bad time

0:16:58.480 --> 0:17:01.920
<v Speaker 1>with her faith. She did something that she learned from us.

0:17:03.320 --> 0:17:08.280
<v Speaker 1>Don't ever, ever, ever, ever do something like that again.

0:17:08.600 --> 0:17:10.399
<v Speaker 1>Were you wanted him from the beginning? Did you know?

0:17:10.520 --> 0:17:13.720
<v Speaker 1>Did you have a sensity? You know what? I focused

0:17:13.760 --> 0:17:17.000
<v Speaker 1>my energy on her and just helping her through a

0:17:17.040 --> 0:17:20.400
<v Speaker 1>bad time. But here's the thing, Kim is a survivor.

0:17:20.840 --> 0:17:24.359
<v Speaker 1>Kim landed on her feet, and that's what I admire

0:17:24.400 --> 0:17:27.920
<v Speaker 1>about her, because she didn't let the naysayers and the negative,

0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:31.360
<v Speaker 1>you know, nasty comments get her down. But it taught

0:17:31.400 --> 0:17:33.680
<v Speaker 1>a couple of things. You asked about the younger girls,

0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:35.760
<v Speaker 1>and I think it taught them a very good lesson.

0:17:36.600 --> 0:17:39.920
<v Speaker 1>The biggest lesson is obviously, don't ever do something like that.

0:17:40.160 --> 0:17:45.800
<v Speaker 1>But better than that, you always have your family. That's

0:17:46.119 --> 0:17:48.239
<v Speaker 1>the bottom line for us, no matter what is we

0:17:48.280 --> 0:17:51.600
<v Speaker 1>love each other so much. You can do something that's

0:17:51.640 --> 0:17:54.680
<v Speaker 1>negative and still come home and I'm going to wrap

0:17:54.760 --> 0:17:58.480
<v Speaker 1>my arms around them no matter what. Even though I

0:17:58.560 --> 0:18:02.720
<v Speaker 1>know that you are very close your family in this

0:18:02.920 --> 0:18:06.720
<v Speaker 1>incredible way, all these crazy menu of things you guys

0:18:06.720 --> 0:18:09.120
<v Speaker 1>have been through together on camera, camera has actually made

0:18:09.119 --> 0:18:12.040
<v Speaker 1>you even closer, is true? This experience has made your

0:18:12.080 --> 0:18:16.520
<v Speaker 1>family a close family even closer. Just shows that videotape

0:18:16.520 --> 0:18:21.040
<v Speaker 1>can be your friend. I feel unbelievably lucky to have

0:18:21.119 --> 0:18:23.800
<v Speaker 1>had these cameras capture the last six years of my

0:18:23.880 --> 0:18:27.320
<v Speaker 1>life the best home movies. Sometimes I look back on

0:18:27.400 --> 0:18:29.879
<v Speaker 1>Chloe and Lamar's wedding that I planned in nine days,

0:18:30.000 --> 0:18:33.040
<v Speaker 1>and I cry every time I had worked my whole

0:18:33.080 --> 0:18:41.159
<v Speaker 1>life raising my kids. They're my life. Chris Kardashian Jenner.

0:18:41.240 --> 0:18:44.600
<v Speaker 1>She calls herself the momager of her plan. They recently

0:18:44.760 --> 0:18:48.200
<v Speaker 1>finished season six of Keeping Up with the Kardashians. She's

0:18:48.240 --> 0:18:55.520
<v Speaker 1>hoping for twenty six. The Kardashians continue to find new

0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:58.720
<v Speaker 1>ways to make the most of the spotlight. Just seventy

0:18:58.760 --> 0:19:02.840
<v Speaker 1>two days into her new marriage, Kim Kardashian filed for divorce.

0:19:04.880 --> 0:19:14.400
<v Speaker 1>Now let's try that word association again, Kardashian. See, I'm

0:19:14.400 --> 0:19:36.920
<v Speaker 1>Alec Baldwin and you're listening to Here's the thing, m
