It wasn’t Chauvin who brought it up. His partner mentioned that he was worried about excited delirium (that’s why all the news orgs started mentioning it), and Chauvin responded, “I know, that’s why... blah blah blah”. It’s in the clip where his partner asks if they should turn him on his side. I can’t source it right now but here is an article with the quotes in it.
