Radio and television personality Billy Bush, who in 2005 was featured alongside President Donald Trump in the infamous Access Hollywood tape that saw Trump brag about grabbing women “by the p----,” said that a trove of still unseen videos exist but are currently in the possession of a wealthy television producer.

Speaking on the Jim Acosta Show Thursday, Bush provided details as to how and why the Access Hollywood tape was initially obtained, and how evidence exists that far more yet-unseen videos still exist.

“When [the Access Hollywood tape] came out, it was because a contestant in a Miss Universe pageant had said 'Donald Trump has said terrible things about me,' and he said 'I never talk like that at all,' and then NBC sent out to all their divisions 'look through your tapes,’” Bush said. “Now, the ones they wanted belonged to Mark Burnett and are in a vault somewhere in Idaho, and those are all the outtakes from The Apprentice set.”

Burnett, a thirteen-time Emmy Award winner, has a long personal relationship with Trump, with Trump reportedly once calling Burnett a “special special friend.” Burnett also produced Trump’s popular reality television series “The Apprentice,” which ran from 2004 to 2017, hundreds of tapes of outtakes of which still exist and are in the possession of Burnett, Bush claimed.

1. Release them!

[Trueblue1968]

21. I wonder if the world will ever see them ??? ..... Make them into a movie !! I would pay money to see them. um

[FakeNoose]

2. Has Billy Bush ever flown on Epstein's plane? How about Mark Burnett?

Asking for a friend ....

[DaBronx]

5. Had the same thought and would explain

Perhaps why George has been so silent.

3. At this point I question if anything could be "potentially damaging" to Trump.

Seriously, I'm beginning to think nothing in the Epstein files, no matter how horrible and disgusting, would move the needle on this guy. We're stuck with this sorry piece of shit till he's dead and gone, and even then we'll have to deal with all the Saint Donald revisionist crap from corporate media and his MAGA morons. Imagine Charlie Kirk only a million times worse.

4. No, his cult followers won't believe it. They will think the tapes are fake. We need to focus on getting our candidate

elected and winning back Hispanics and the youth!! We need better ads and we need to get on the podcasts and TikTok where the kids are!!!! We need to take off the gloves and quit playing a game that no longer exists!!! Trump has thrown away the rule book and we are still playing by old rules.

[Nasruddin]

14. Whatever is on them....

The cult, which is 50% or more of the country, will consider it license and insist that it's good and that everyone should do it.

6. I agree with the view that no amount of bad stuff coming out will change the support of his diehard supporters.

Tthe religiously insane are firmly in his camp. This is how I view this phenomenon: they think of him as a sort of vessel bringing them closer to heaven. Trump is slaying their evil dragons. He is anti-choice and he promotes RW fantasies of Christian craziness (certainly not Christian forbearance and loving your neighbor and "blessed are the poor" (they think the poor don't deserve any help).

7. For years...

...there have been stories about TV studio execs having "damaging" tapes. My advice is that they keep them. They might be worth something, should Crooked Donald want to go after a particular person. If released, the "damaging" tapes have no more value. His fans simply don't care. What could possibly hurt Dear Leader? I think we're moving beyond the "dead girl or live boy" in his bed standard.

8. This isn't about Epstein, it's about his use of the "N" word

Tom Arnold said they have it on tape. It won't matter though, since he can't run again anyway.

[SSJVegeta]

10. It probably won't matter for the most part. But I think it could help with midterm turnout

He tended to peel off a decent amount of black voters -or got them to stay home in 2024. Something like this could potentially lead to record black turnout for Democrats in a midterm. That could be groundbreaking.

[FakeNoose]

13. There were black and female actors on The Apprentice and he was extremely rude to them

The main thrust of that story was that Chump could never follow a normal tv script. He just made stuff up as he went along and it all ended up on the tapes. Then Mark Burnett and the other production guys had to figure out how to make it into a weekly show. They'd shoot 40 hours of tape and it was edited into a 45-minute show.

Chump would change his mind about who's going to "win" and "lose" that week, and in a moment's notice they had to threw out all the stuff they had already taped. So the out-takes are mostly just him rambling about stupid stuff that meant nothing, but there are also racist and sexist comments on there too.

If those tapes ever come to light, people will see that he was never anything but a word-salad windbag with a very short attention span. But we already know that, don't we?

9. Stay away from high windows

[VicNEO]

11. Noel Casler

Check him out
He’s been posting for a decade.
He was part of Apprentice production- as well as CSN, the Emmys, etc.,.

Good guy- never sued for what he’s said.
Trump Russia et al

[FakeNoose]

17. He was the first one to reveal that Chump had bowel control problems

Long before anyone else ever talked about it, Noel Casler - who worked on The Apprentice at the time - revealed that Chump would occasionally have explosive diarrhea on the set. I don't know if Chump wore a diaper in those days, but Casler was sometimes the guy who had to clean it up. The show employees were sworn to secrecy, but Casler talked about it anyway. Ewwww....

[progressoid]

12. Bullshit.

Every few months there is a story about someone with some story to end Trump.

Attention seeking clickbait.

[travelingthrulife]

15. Nope. Release the Epstein files.

[Vinca]

16. Release them. Don't release them. It won't make a difference. Dear Leader could slice and dice

newborns on the White House lawn and Congress wouldn't care and the media would talk about Biden.

[Miguelito Loveless]

18. "Long personal relationship with Trump"

Sexual predator and probably in the Epstein Files.

[Oeditpus Rex]

19. I'll believe it when I watch them

Both The Felons misadministrations have been sideshows of lies, deceptions and diversions, to the point that anything seems possible. In all cases, I say, "Everybody show your cards."

[Torchlight]

20. This could move the needle on mid-terms if timed and played with care.

I spent his first term watching cause and effect become yesterday's jam, so there's no way I'm going to immediately dismiss or trivialize any possible tool at this point.
