George Santos sits down with Ian Bick for his most revealing interview yet — sharing how he went from serving in Congress to serving time behind bars. In this episode, Santos opens up about the investigations, the scandals, the pressure, the downfall, and what prison was really like on the inside. He discusses the moment everything came crashing down, how he survived prison life, what he learned about himself on the inside, and how he views his future now that he’s out. Santos also speaks candidly about corruption, power, public scrutiny, media narratives, and how quickly someone in politics can rise — and fall. Whether you know him from headlines, controversies, or comedy sketches, this conversation goes far beyond the memes and viral clips. This is George Santos telling his story in his own words: the mistakes, the reality check, the consequences, and the lessons he took from prison and public disgrace.
