“When you think about that day and the stuff that is said on this video and, and, you know, you seem to be laughing along with what he's saying and so on. … Obviously you regret that. Um, what goes through your mind?”

“If you want to say that I failed in that regard, you have every right,” Bush said, but he lost his temper after further grilling from Acosta. “... If people want to say that I’m a terrible person for being in that room and not doing more in this situation then good for you, you high and mighty person, you self-righteous warrior. Good for you.”

“I mean, but, you know, that you’re gonna have the folks who say, you had your shot in that moment to tell him, stop acting like a piece of s——,” Acosta persisted. “You’re acting like piece of s——. I guess you would have been fired. You would have been thrown out? I don’t know.”

“I love you. Jim, and I know you’re doing your job because I can see the comments rolling in there and they’re like, ‘Jim you gotta hold him account. You gotta do it.’ But Jim, if you and I were offline right now, I don’t think you’d be going too hard at me because I think you know it was a s—— situation to be in. A very s—— situation to be in.”
