Hey, Bobby, look, I don't think I need to tell you, but these people that wanna make you get in trouble and wanna kick you out and make you run away, you make them put up or shut up. You stand your ground, sir, and don't get bogged down by all the haters out there. [00:00:17] Stay strong, merry Christmas. >> Speaker 2: So that message of support from former Representative of George Santos to Bob Menendez was not just spontaneous from Santos. I mean, maybe Santos feels a kinship, perhaps, [00:00:33] with another person who's been accused of terrible crimes, including financial crimes, accepting bribes and all that. But no, that's a Cameo video. So, George Santos is now making videos on cameo, and it was actually Senator John Fetterman who paid to have him do that video. [00:00:49] So, Fetterman put out a tweet about this saying, I thought my ethically challenged colleague Bob Menendez, could use some encouragement given his substantial legal problems. So I approached a seasoned expert on the matter to give Bobby from Jersey [LAUGH] some advice. [LAUGH] So obviously he's playing a little bit of a prank there on [00:01:04] George Santos, too. I think he spent like $340, which seems high for a Cameo in general, specifically from George Santos. But we're gonna give you updates on some of the legal developments with Bob Menendez, and it's not good news for the senator. [00:01:20] But what do you make of what Fetterman got up to right there? >> Speaker 3: I absolutely love when, I'm gonna call them celebrities, when celebrities [LAUGH] send Cameo as trolling, it's the funniest thing. And it reminds me of, do you remember the old Flintstone cartoons, [00:01:35] where the animal had to do some mundane job and he'd say, it's a living? That's what I imagine [LAUGH] George saying after doing the cameo. It's a living. He's gotta make some money, John, what's he gonna do? >> Speaker 2: This might be the most honest money George Santos has made in [00:01:53] his life. >> [LAUGH] >> He was paid to make a video, he made it. As far as I could tell, there was no fraud. He actually did the thing he said he would do. >> I don't if that was AI, that looks real. >> Yeah, that's true, maybe. Honestly, it would be just as good. So, look, I wanna just really fast let people know that Menendez obviously is on [00:02:11] the line, there are these charges having to do with tons of bribes and all that. Influence peddling, basically, as well as some international stuff, too. So now we've updates about the gold bars that have been a part of this story for a while. So, at least four gold bars that were found when the FBI searched the senator's [00:02:28] home have been directly linked to a New Jersey businessman, Fred, I believe it's Daibes, is how that's pronounced? Now accused of bribing Menendez, Bergen County prosecutor's records from a 2013 robbery case show. So, they've been able to trace the serial numbers on the gold bars. [00:02:44] They had been stolen at one point and then returned to Daibes. So Daibes' signature and initials appear on the evidence log, having to do with that initial theft. And that included each specific gold bar with its corresponding serial number. So that then apparently was given at some point to Menendez. [00:03:02] And so now you have this sort of, like, ownership chain that's been established. Menendez denies this, saying, I did not take payoffs from Daibes, even though prosecutors allege testing show Daibes' fingerprints and DNA are on some of the cash as well, that was found in Menendez's home. [00:03:19] And to be fair, we do have to give the senator a chance to respond. So there was a statement saying, he will not be commenting on anonymous media links designed to prejudice his right to a fair trial. He looks forward to addressing the government's claims in court, based on a complete record of the evidence. [00:03:35] Good [CROSSTALK]. >> Speaker 3: There's also a photo of him holding all the gold bars. >> Speaker 3: [LAUGH] >> What I love best about it is that it was like, don't worry, it's untraceable, we're gonna pay you in gold bars. [LAUGH] >> 100%. >> Speaker 3: [INAUDIBLE] [LAUGH] so much. >> Speaker 2: I like to imagine he's not holding them. [00:03:51] He puts them and then he curls up on them like a dragon on his horde. That's how I would do it. >> Speaker 2: [LAUGH] Can you dare? >> [LAUGH] Nice smaug reference there, I like that Fetterman is trolling Santos. They're hitting both of them, cuz both of them have been alleged to have committed these incredibly corrupt acts. [00:04:09] I will also say, just briefly, a lot of people have been hitting Santos for doing Cameo, and I jokingly was defending there. But also, I don't know, it's a thing to do. I've never done it, but I wouldn't rule it out. >> What's he supposed to do? Okay, you better get on Cameo, cuz I'm gonna hire you to do some Cameos. [00:04:24] I love it. It's a living. Like you said, it's honest. [LAUGH] >> Speaker 2: What is he supposed to do? I'm sure he's already called to do Dancing with the Stars and the Masked Singer, and he'll probably appear on at least one of those. He'll probably be on Big Brother or something, anyway, so, at least for [00:04:40] now he's making an honest buck. And I was actually thinking, what if I did them? But whatever I made off of it, I put into account for Reina, to start accruing some savings for education or something. I doubt he's gonna use it on his wholesome thing, it's probably going straight into Botox and OnlyFans. [00:04:58] But anyway, we'll see. >> Speaker 3: You're better off saving some gold bars for Reina, [LAUGH] with the way inflation is. [MUSIC]
