The Washington Post and others published a recording of Trump and Bush discussing a woman's breasts and sexual acts that Trump would like to do to a woman he spotted from the "Access Hollywood" bus. Trump was on his way to a guest appearance on the NBC soap opera "Days of Our Lives."
Bush is first cousins with former Republican presidential candidate Jeb Bush and President George W. Bush, and he is a current host on "The Today Show."

At one point in the recorded conversation, Trump seems to be discussing previous attempts at having sex with a married woman. He comments that she's "changed her look."
"I moved on her like a bitch, but I couldn’t get there. And she was married. Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony tits and everything. She’s totally changed her look."
Bush responds by calling a woman they see through the bus window as "hot as sh*t."
"Sheesh, your girl's hot as sh*t. In the purple. Whoa, the Donald is good! Whoa, my man!"
The identity of the woman is not known but Donald Trump married Melania Trump in January of 2005. The Washington Post says this recording was made several months after his marriage to Melania.
Bush reportedly deleted his Twitter account right before The Washington Post broke the news.
People on Twitter are already calling for Billy Bush to be fired from NBC.
For his part, Donald Trump played down the controversy.
Trump apologized but also said that this controversy is as offensive as things he heard President Bill Clinton say.
“I apologize if anyone was offended,” he said, according to Politico. “This was locker room banter, a private conversation that took place many years ago. Bill Clinton has said far worse to me on the golf course — not even close."
Democratic Presidential nominee Hillary Clinton tweeted that the conversation was "horrific."
Here's a full transcript of what he said, according to Bustle:
Trump: "You know and I moved on her actually. You know she was down on Palm Beach."
Unknown: "She used to be great. She's still very beautiful."Trump: "I moved on her and I failed. I'll admit it. I did try and f--k her. She was married."
Unknown: "That's huge news."
Trump: "No, no. Nancy. No this was..."Trump: "And I moved on her very heavily. In fact, I took her out furniture shopping. She wanted to get some furniture. I said, ‘I’ll show you where they have some nice furniture.’"
Trump: "I moved on her like a bitch, but I couldn’t get there. And she was married. Then all of a sudden I see her, she’s now got the big phony tits and everything. She’s totally changed her look."
Bush: "Sheesh, your girl's hot as s--t. In the purple. Whoa, the Donald is good! Whoa, my man!"
Trump: "Look at you. You are a p---y."
Trump: "Maybe it's a different one."
Bush: "It better not be the publicist. No, it's her. It's her."
Trump: "Yeah, that's her, with the gold."Trump: "I’ve gotta use some Tic Tacs, just in case I start kissing her. You know I’m automatically attracted to beautiful — I just start kissing them. It’s like a magnet. Just kiss. I don’t even wait. And when you’re a star they let you do it. You can do anything."
Unknown, but apparently Bush: "Whatever you want."
Trump: "Grab them by the p---y. You can do anything."
Trump recently received backlash for sexist comments about a 1996 Miss Universe winner.
In the first presidential debate, Clinton accused Trump of calling Alyssa Machado "Little Miss Piggy" for gaining weight and "Miss Housekeeping," because she's Latina. Later that week Trump went on a Twitter tirade against Machado.
He accused Machado of making false claims against him in exchange for citizenship.
Trump's treatment of women has come under fire from the offset of his campaign. At the first GOP presidential debate in 2015, Fox News' Megyn Kelly called out Trump for the language he has used to describe women — including "fat pigs," "dogs," "slobs," and other vulgar language.
