And, as can you see, from the tape, the cameras were not on. It was only a mike. And i wonder if they even knew that the mike was on, because they were kind of a boy talk, and he was lead on, like, egg on, from the host, to say dirty and bad stuff. You feel the host, billy bush, was sort of egging him on. Yes. Yes. Reporter donald trump has dismissed his conversation with bush as, quote, locker room talk. When youre a star, they let you do it. You can do anything. Whatever you want. Grab them by the [ bleep ]. Is that language you had heard him use before . No. No. Thats why i was surprised.
