WELCOME BACK TO REQUEST THE THE LATE SHOW."
GIVE IT UP FOR LOUIS CATO AND THE LATE SHOW BAND RIGHT THERE.
( APPLAUSE )
HAPPY THURSDAY. >> Louis: HAPPY THURSDAY.
>> Stephen: HAPPY THURSDAY. I'M EXCITED.
HAVE A SEAT, EVERYBODY. THANKS SO MUCH.
IN JUST A MINUTE, WE'VE GOT A GENTLEMAN WE'VE HAD ON THE SHOW
SEVERAL TIMES BEFORE. IT'S ALWAYS AN INTERESTING
CONVERSATION. REPRESENTATIVE ADAM KINZINGER IS
GOING TO BE HERE. >> Louis: THAT'S RIGHT.
>> Stephen: FORMERLY OF CONGRESS, FORMERLY OF THE
JANUARY 6 PANEL. I LOOK FORWARD TO HEARING WHAT
HE HAS TO SAY NOW THAT HE DOESN'T HAVE TO BE REELECTED.
THAT SHOULD BE BRACING IS I'LL FIND THE CONVERSATION.
YOU KNOW I LOVE ME A DON LEMON. DON IS A DEAR, DEAR FRIEND,
SOULCYCLE EMERGENCY CONTACT. AND OF COURSE I ALWAYS WATCH THE
CNN-- WHAT'S IT CALLED? "CNN THIS MORNING."
C.T.M.,s WE CALL IT, CNN THIS MORNING.
AND I WAS WATCHING THIS MORNING AND I WAS A LILINGSZ TAKEN
ABACK. I DIDN'T EXPECT THIS.
CAN YOU SHOW WHAT HE WAS WEARING?
THERE YOU GO. YOU KNOW, I BELIEVE A GREAT MAN
ONCE SAID WHAT THE ( BLEEP ) IS THAT?
( LAUGHTER )
AND THIS IS HILARIOUS. BUT HOW DO YOU REPORT THE NEWS
IN THAT OUTFIT? HOW DO YOU ACTUALLY TALK ABOUT
TRAGEDY WEARING THAT, BECAUSE WHAT COULD BE MORE TRAGIC THAN
THAT LOOK HE HAD THIS MORNING? COULD YOU PUT IT BACK UP?
HE'S LIKE A HIGH SCHOOL TRACK TEACHER WHO WENT FOR A RUN AND
THEN GOT A LITTLE HUNGRY AND STOPPED AT A RESTAURANT BUT IT
WAS TOO NICE OF A RESTAURANT, AND THEY SAID, "SIR, YOU HAVE TO
WEAR A JACKET." SO THEN HE SOO HE STOLE A JACKET
FROM AN EXTRA FROM "GUYS & DOLLS."
ANYWAY, DON,s YOU'VE GOT A LOT TO ANSWER FOR.
I HOPE YOU TALK ABOUT THIS TOMORROW MORNING ON THE SHOW.
I'LL BE WATCHING. FOLKS, EARLIER IN THE MONOLOGUE,
I WAS TALKING ABOUT THE LATEST ALLEGATIONS REGARDING
NEW YORK CONGRESSMAN GEORGE SANTOS.
BUT OF COURSE TODAY'S REVELATIONS ARE JUST ADDED TO
THE LONG LIST OF LIES SANTOS APPEARS TO HAVE TOLD ABOUT
HIMSELF-- WHICH, IN CASE YOU FORGOT, INCLUDE CLAIMING HE
ATTENDED BARUCH COLLEGE AND N.Y.U., GRADUATED SUMMA CUM
LAUDE, WORKED AT GOLDMAN SACHS AND CITIGROUP, HAD UKRAINIAN
JEWISH GRANDPARENTS WHO FLED TO BRAZIL TO ESCAPE THE HOLOCAUST,
HAD A MOTHER WHO DIED IN 9/11, EMPLOYEES WHO DIED IN THE PULSE
NIGHTCLUB SHOOTING, WAS ONE OF THE FIRST PEOPLE TO GET COVID,
OWNED AN ANIMAL RESCUE CHARITY, ATTENDED A PRESTIGIOUS PREP
SCHOOL, WAS A VOLLEYBALL STAR, MADE $750,000 SALARY, WAS MUGGED
ON HIS WAY TO PAY RENT, HAD A CAREER SELLING YACHTS,
A MILLION-DOLLAR APARTMENT, 13 REAL ESTATE PROPERTIES, AND
NEW REVELATIONS ARE COMING EVERY DAY.
SO THE WHOLE COUNTRY IS WONDERING WHAT IS THE TRUTH
ABOUT GEORGE SANTOS? WELL, HERE TO TELL US THE TRUTH
ABOUT GEORGE SANTOS, PLEASE WELCOME CONGRESSMAN GEORGE
SANTOS!
JOINING US. >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME,
STEPHEN. IT'S AN HONOR TO BE BACK ON YOUR
SHOW. >> Stephen: THIS IS ACTUALLY
YOUR FIRST TIME HERE. >> NOT ACCORDING TO MY IMDb.
IT SAYS I'VE BEEN A GUEST FIVE TIMES, AND I WAS ALSO YOUR
BANDLEADER, JON BATISTE.
NOT TRUE. THAT'S NOT HOW YOU PRONOUNCE HIS
NAME. IN FACT, YOU ARE FACING DAMNING
ACCUSATIONS THAT YOU HAVE FABRICATED ALMOST ALL OF YOUR
BACKSTORY. BUT HERE'S AN OPPORTUNITY, RIGHT
NOW, TO TELL THE TRUTH AND CLEAR THINGS UP.
>> WHAT'S TO CLARIFY? EVERYTHING I'VE SAID HAS BEEN
THE TRUTH, OR MY NAME ISN'T GEORGE ANTHONY DEVOLDER SANTOS
KITARA ZABROVSKY JOHN JACOB JINGLEHEIMER CELLINO AND BARNES.
>> Stephen: IS ANY OF THAT YOUR REAL NAME?
>> I DON'T KNOW. PROBABLY.
>> Stephen: OKAY. LET'S GET INTO SOME OF THESE
ALLEGATIONS. EARLIER TODAY, YOU DENIED CLAIMS
THAT YOU USED TO PERFORM AS A DRAG QUEEN.
>> ABSOLUTELY, STEPHEN. THIS DRAG STORY IS JUST ANOTHER
MEDIA DISTRACTION THAT IS SIMPLY NOT GONNA WERK!
OKURR... SORRY, SORRY, NEXT QUESTION,
PLEASE. >> Stephen: WHAT ABOUT YOUR
CLAIM TO HAVE ATTENDED BOTH N.Y.U. AND BARUCH COLLEGE, EVEN
THOUGH THERE IS NO RECORD THAT YOU WENT TO EITHER?
>> NO RECORD? OKAY, THEN HOW DO YOU EXPLAIN
THIS? HMMM!
LEGALLY, THAT'S A DIPLOMA! >> Stephen: NO, THAT'S NOT.
IT'S A SHIRT. AND YOU OBVIOUSLY MADE THAT.
>> I DID NOT. ALTHOUGH I COULD HAVE.
I DOUBLE MAJORED IN T-SHIRT DESIGN AND PROFESSIONAL
VOLLEYBALL. >> Stephen: SO YOU'RE STICKING
TO YOUR STORY THAT YOU PLAYED VOLLEYBALL AT A SCHOOL YOU NEVER
WENT TO? >> OF COURSE.
I'M A VOLLEYBALL STAR! A STAR!
I'M A STAR! IN FACT, I'M IN THE MIDDLE OF A
BIG MATCH RIGHT NOW. SEE, TOUCHDOWN!
( APPLAUSE )
>> Stephen: LOOK, JUST TELL THE TRUTH.
WHAT ABOUT "FRIENDS OF PETS UNITED," THE ANIMAL CHARITY
YOU CLAIMED TO RUN AND COLLECTED MONEY FOR, EVEN THOUGH THE
I.R.S. HAS NO RECORD OF IT? >> SO WHAT?
THE I.R.S. DOESN'T KNOW EVERYTHING.
DOES THE I.R.S. KNOW THE WEIGHT OF A WISH?
( LAUGHTER )
MY OTHER CHARITIES. PLEASE DONATE BELOW.
>> Stephen: JIMMY, TAKE THAT DOWN!
TAKE 2 DOWN, JIMMIE! DO NOT SEND MONEY THERE.
SANTOS, YOU'VE BEEN ACCUSED OF SOME REALLY ATROCIOUS THINGS.
YOU CLAIMED YOUR MOTHER DIED IN THE SEPTEMBER 11th ATTACKS, THEN
YOU SAID THAT SHE DIED A FEW YEARS LATER AND THEN YOU SAID
SHE DIED IN 2016. WHAT REALLY HAPPENED?
( LAUGHTER )
THIS? CAN'T YOU SEE I'M AT MY MOTHER'S
FUNERAL RIGHT NOW? DO YOU KNOW HOW HARD IT IS TO
LOSE SOMEONE WHEN THEY'VE ALREADY DIED THREE TIMES BEFORE?
>> Stephen: I'M SORRY FOR YOUR LOSSES.
BUT, REPRESENTATIVE SANTOS, AFTER ALL THIS DECEPTION, DO YOU
REALLY EXPECT REPUBLICANS TO KEEP YOU IN CONGRESS?
>> OF COURSE, STEPHEN. THEY CAN'T GET RID OF ME.
I'M THE SPEAKER OF THE HOUSE!
NOT. NO.
DON'T APPLAUD HIM! NO.
THAT'S KEVIN McCARTHY. >> OKAY, BOOMER.
THEN WHERE DID I GET THIS GAVEL? >> Stephen: YOU OBVIOUSLY BOUGHT
THAT. IT STILL HAS THE PRICE TAG.
>> I'M GONNA HAVE TO FACT CHECK YOU THERE, STEVE.
I DID NOT BUY IT. I STOLE IT.
>> Stephen: EVERYTHING YOU'VE SAID HERE HAS BEEN A LIE.
UNLESS YOU'RE WILLING TO ACTUALLY TELL THE TRUTH, THIS
INTERVIEW IS OVER. JIMMY--
>> WAIT WAIT! OKAY, FINE.
ALL RIGHT. NO MORE LIES.
I'M READY TO COME CLEAN. >> Stephen: GO AHEAD.
>> ALL RIGHT, THE TRUTH IS, MY ENTIRE CAMPAIGN WAS SECRETLY
FUNDING BY ( BUZZING ).
MY TELEPHONE? HELLO?
ANNA WINTOUR? YOU WANT ME BACK AT THE MET
GALA? AND THIS YEAR'S THEME IS DRAG,
SOMETHING THAT I'VE DEFINITELY NEVER, EVER DONE BEFORE?
OH, I GOTTA GO, STEVE. I'M SO SORRY.
>> Stephen: REPRESENTATIVE GEORGE SANTOS, EVERYBODY.
AND THANK YOU TO HARVEY GUILLEN. WE'LL BE RIGHT BACK WITH THE
REAL CONGRESSMAN ADAM KINZINGER! >> THAT'S ME!
THAT'S ME. >> Stephen: NO IT'S NOT.
