    Oh dude your gonna make me find this. It was towards the end of his presidency. Pirates were the only ones that recognized it because it was unreleased Beatles songs.

    Edit: it was infact a longer version of this where Bush Jr. calls one of the secret service agents "dude". E.g. "can you get me my iPod dude."

    Edit 2: here's a more reliable source then "trust me bro" https://cyberlaw.stanford.edu/blog/2006/05/beatles-gw-bush-and-apple-computer

        Yeah I forgot too. I think I kind of oversold it but it was still funny with online communities. I remembered people saying if, "Bush can pirate music I can too."
