Starting point is 00:00:00 You're listening to the Jeff Fisher Show. Last night, Bruce Jenner, the interview on ABC, said this is the last interview he will do as Bruce. He refers to his true identity as her. When talking about his struggles, it is sad. And you think about the people who are struggling. When you look in the mirror and they discuss this a little bit on the broadcast last night. And Bruce talked about it. When people look in the mirror, most people, they see themselves.
Starting point is 00:00:41 Right? Think about it. You look in the mirror and you see you, the person that you have been forever. You've changed thin or fat or older, wiser, whatever, meaner, nicer. But it's you. And people in. His predicament sees a lie. Not really, not really, he's walking through life as a lie as people are seeing, well, in particular Bruce, as Bruce Jenner, the man.
Starting point is 00:01:18 And he always felt like a woman. He talked about being a little kid and walking out of the name with his sister's dress and putting a scarf over his head because he had really short hair. and walking around as a little kid. Oh, my gosh. And he talked about how it brought him, the struggle of that brought him to do the extra work that it took for him to be the Olympic athlete, the gold medal decathlon winner.
Starting point is 00:01:56 He always played sports. He talked to him. He was the top guy in high school, you know, the top athlete. And that's why, you know, he talked about that's why, because he didn't have to think about the struggles he was going through as feeling like a woman or a girl at that time. He could just do sports and not have to think about it. So after the Olympics, it was even a bigger struggle for him because it was over. And he went through, and then it was thrust into the limelight as superstar.
Starting point is 00:02:29 Now, two of his wives, well, I think all three actually, three or four, they drove him to success. You know, he was struggling and then they turned, he was struck that after the, after the Olympic push, you know, the Wheaties, boxes, the Superman Olympic push, and then he was struggling because he didn't know who he was, he was still struggling with I wanted to be a woman. and then he started doing all the infomercials and became the motivational speaker. He talked about the struggles that he had doing that. But he was a star given. He was thrust back into the limelight with his kids and his family and his wife. And, you know, that's, you need to make a living.
Starting point is 00:03:22 And how when he went out to speak, and talk to people about success, how it was a lie and how he felt the whole time that it was a lie. And that he would leave those events and dress up as a woman and go out. My gosh. Think of that.
Starting point is 00:03:52 Think of that. Were you one of the people that said, man, that girl looks like Bruce Jenner? It's possible. It's possible. But he said you would never know. Uh-huh. But, I mean, I'll go through, this is my notes during Bruce Jenner, the interview last night.
Starting point is 00:04:11 Start to finish. The God explanation. Fantastic, I thought. Look at the Olympic picks and sees her, him, me. When Diane showed him the picture. He said, I see her. And then I know, it's him. It's me.
Starting point is 00:04:30 Me. Of course, we already talked about him growing up in Terrytown slash Sleepy Hollow, home of Stubbry gear as well. Talked about being a little kid slipping out in a dress, how lonely he was. They discussed on the show, cross-dressing is, does not mean all transgendered.
Starting point is 00:04:53 Cross-dressers are different than transgendered. Sexual desire has always been with a woman, said Bruce. He considers himself heterosexual, although later in the interview, he said he didn't think about it much, and then he just said, well, let's just go with asexual, because he talked about being 65, and he's not out looking to party and find love all the time. Although, you know, he didn't sound opposed to it.
Starting point is 00:05:25 He just not what he's thinking about now. So he's talked about sexual desire. Whom you go to bed with, sexual identity, is who you go to bed as. I talked about in the 80s, the hormone surgeries and the electrolysis, how he was on. And he talked about how all his wives knew. And then lost his nerve. So he did it for about five years. And just kind of became, you know, he was still Bruce Jenner.
Starting point is 00:05:55 to the outer world. And he had the family and the kids, and he didn't want to hurt them. So he stopped the hormones. And then we kind of moved into the Kardashian years. They were, you know, little kids when they first, you know, when they first got together. And he had a couple of kids with Chris. He really loved Chris.
Starting point is 00:06:20 Obviously, you love all your wives. But you can quote me on that, too. You do love all your wives. But he really, I think he still loves Chris. He said that if Chris had been good with all of this, and I'm pretty sure he was referring to coming out and just leaving the Bruce Jenner behind, they'd probably still be together.
Starting point is 00:06:48 So, I mean, he still loves her. She, on the other hand, you know, I don't know that. She may just because of the way she acts. Because they commented, they took comments from the wives last night, and they were all sent their supportive statements. And Chris was like, hey, no comment. Yeah, no comment. So, you know, she's still mad. But the Kardashian years, think of this, 425 shows is what he said.
Starting point is 00:07:20 I don't know that that to be exact, but probably pretty close. Eight years, about eight years, 425 episodes of the Kardashians. Amazing, which got him back on some footing financially. Because, you know, obviously this is, you know, not cheap. The hormones and the surgeries. When asked about what the fakness of dressing like a woman, he said, I'm not dressing up like a woman. I spent years dressing up as a man. The children, they were all really trying.
Starting point is 00:07:57 One said, one said, wow. It all makes sense now. And one son talked about how he ran out of class as a teenager. They were talking about sexuality or something in the class, and he ran out of the class scared at the time because he was thinking that he was going to lose his dad to a woman, to becoming a woman. So they knew. I mean, obviously, you know, he wasn't hiding it to the family, at least as well as he thought he was to the kids.
Starting point is 00:08:29 This is a fascinating percentage they showed on the show last night. 87% know someone who is gay. 87% of the people know someone who is gay. 8% know someone who is transgender. That's a small amount. They also showed the first known big transgender that Christine Jorgensen, who I guess I knew, but I didn't remember the World War II. went away as a soldier, got the surgery in Sweden and came back to America as a woman.
Starting point is 00:09:05 Fascinating. I will read more about that story. And then that was the time when, are you a Republican? And I knew at the time he may have lost support from those. And sure enough, the Blaze story that we talked about earlier, with the people on social media bashing him. and please, I hope that today I'm going to do some research. We're going to find out who these Twitter people are.
Starting point is 00:09:34 That we should be able to react to them, just like they react to us. We need to know who they are. You can, you know, they're brave enough to say it in public on social media. They can be brave enough to take whatever heat they get, let alone the heat that we would get if we started spewing hate online. He said one of the things that he wanted. just want to blend in. Uh-huh.
Starting point is 00:10:01 Okay, Bruce Jenner. I get that. I mean, I know that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, that's a, famous person's line. I just want to blend in. I don't like to be, I don't like the fame. Ah. Okay. Bruce Jenner.
Starting point is 00:10:18 Got it. So, I mean, he does more good for the cause and for the struggle not blending in. and always has. So that ain't happening. That's a pipe dream that's just been said over the years by people who are famous. And if he just wanted to blend in, you wouldn't be seeing him on TV. Okay. You wouldn't have TMZ following him around.
Starting point is 00:10:44 Sorry. I don't buy it. But it's okay because that's just a throwaway line that a lot of famous people use. I just want to blend in. Okay. sexual reassignment surgery down the line so he still is half a man
Starting point is 00:11:07 whole man because with the hormone therapy you know you do get breasts and he's had he talked about getting the Adams apple scraped and he's got he's got the long hair and the looks the hormones and he's done a lot of plastic surgery
Starting point is 00:11:22 so but he still has the The man unit. You know, what's left of it after hormone surgery? I don't know. But he's still a man. He still, I mean, he still prefers women for any sexual relationship that he may or may not have. He wanted to say, he wanted to be saying goodbye to people's perception of me.
Starting point is 00:11:56 Wanted people to say goodbye to their perception of me. wanted people to have an open mind and an open heart. And Diane said that Bruce believes everyone should have a one-sentence mission statement. He said that in one of his books that he wrote. I'm sure he probably wrote the book back when he was in motivational speaker world when he could sell some books and make some money on being a success. But when asked if he had one, he said to provide understanding and tolerance. towards people.
Starting point is 00:12:33 That's his one-sentence mission statement to provide understanding and tolerance towards people. Bruce Jenner, the interview last night. It does bring up a couple of questions, a couple of minor questions, but overall it just brings up one question. Are you a Republican? Here we go. This is the Jeff Fisher Show on the Blaze Radio Network.
