| 0:00.0 | Welcome back to the der show. Today we're going to talk about lying liars and congressmen. |
| 0:11.4 | You know I'm talking about George Santos. He is now a member of Congress having sworn |
| 0:18.3 | to uphold the Constitution. And of course he's a certified liar. I mean what else can |
| 0:25.1 | you say about him? He's lied about almost every aspect of his life and background. |
| 0:32.4 | He just invented himself. I mean if he were a book he'd be in the fiction section of |
| 0:38.8 | the library, not the nonfiction section. You know Woody Allen used to talk about some |
| 0:43.3 | day they'll be a nonfiction version of the Warren committee report because he always |
| 0:48.5 | doubted the results of that of that report. And so now a number of congressmen from |
| 0:57.2 | Santos's home state deed is home area within the state have called for him to resign. He has |

| 1:48.9 | United States Senate and occupants of the White House. Look I had a president of the United States |
| 1:56.2 | look me directly in the eye and lie to me this was President Obama who I knew as a student |
| 2:02.8 | and he called me to the Oval Office when he was president just on the eve of his second |
| 2:08.3 | election. He obviously wanted my support. Question about whether you should have been asking for |
| 2:14.3 | my support in the White House itself but clearly he invited me there to talk about Israel and Iran. |
| 2:22.4 | He knew that I was influential voice among Jewish voters and pro-Israel voters in the United |
| 2:29.1 | States and he looked me in the eye and said Alan you've known me for a long time. |
