During the interview, Matt talks about Bush calling Kanye's comments one of his "most disgusting moment" during his presidency and wants Kanye to see the emotion on Bush's face.

"I didn't need you guys to show me the tape to prompt my emotions," Kayne said. "I came up here because I wanted to say something right after the fact. This is the reality, this is the real thing going on. I don't need all the jazz."

Matt also brings up the Taylor Swift MTV VMA incident. The Today show plays a segment of Kanye and Taylor on stage while Kanye is trying to answer the question and he seems to get frustrated by the background noise.

"How am I supposed to talk when you're running this thing when I'm talking?" he asked Matt. "It's ridiculous."
