I honestly can barely believe that you're sitting across from me. Last time I talked to you, you were days away from going to prison and you disappeared into the gulag for reasons I never quite figured out. Why? Why? Why were you going to prison in the first place? Didn't think I was going to see you for seven years. And here you are.
George Santos 0:16
Peekaboo. So congratulations.
Tucker Carlson 0:19
Thank you. Thank you.
Tucker Carlson 0:41
So start at the beginning.
George Santos 0:42
What was it like? You pull up. Where were you held? Okay, so I was held at FCI Ferriton in South Jersey. South Jersey. Not a nice place to be. It's New Jersey, first of all. Let's start with that. I'm sorry to anybody from New Jersey listening. Totally fair. Not a nice place to be, South Jersey. So I pull up to South Jersey at Ferriton FCI. Okay. And it starts with a, this is a medium facility with a satellite camp. Now, the medium facility is a very violent prison. I mean, very violent prison. Ex-gang members, gangbangers, child molesters, rapists, you name it, murderers who've worked themselves down from a penitentiary with good behavior throughout the years. And now they have this cozy little spa and this array of like the worst human beings on earth all sitting in this medium facility.

How many former congressmen facing seven years for campaign finance violations? I was the first one.
George Santos 1:29
rhetorical question. And I reckon I'll be the only one. I hope so. I think I'll be the only one. And regardless of party, I will probably be the only one to ever face something so insane. So I pull up. I go to the camp across the street from the facility, which is a satellite camp. Now imagine a warehouse, not too different from where we're sitting now, but bare bones. And then you have this entire dormitory, bed, Cubby, little lockers, bed, cubby, bed, cubby. And it's rows of that, right? And that's how you live. Those are your living quarters. And then there's an adjacent room that has a cafeteria. There's five TVs in there. Even that's segregated because it's the black TV, the white TV, the Hispanic TV.
George Santos 2:13
And then there's a sports TV. And then literally what they call the CNN TV because the TV stays on CNN the whole day.
Tucker Carlson 2:19
This sounds like you just defined hell. It's racially segregated, though?
George Santos 2:23
TVs, yes. The remote controls are operated by people according to their race. And God have mercy on your soul if you're a white guy and you go near the remote for the black people or the Spanish people. People will literally get stabbed with a shank if they do that. For picking up the black remote or the Hispanic remote? Yep. Or the white remote for that matter. It is very political. So that's the environment I'm in. Lovely. Me, all cheery and joy. I'm like, hi, George Santos. Nice to meet you. Don't talk to me. I'm like, okay, you have a nice day. I mean, I'm definitely not cut for prison. Let's just be very honest. That did occur to me before they sent you away. so it was that was kind of the environment right and then i start understanding that i mean the first day i walk in there i understand that this isn't a place where people go to be abandoned and rot and forgotten about to rot the ceiling is all made out of um like this how can i call it this canvas
George Santos 3:22
And it's all ripped up, patched up. And there's a flap hanging open and black mold, like bubbles of black mold, almost like cotton are just like dangling off the ceiling. And you can see that the whole thing is compromised with black mold. We're breathing this in, in this non-ventilated space. This is the kind of environment that the warden maintains down in FCI Ferriton. This is not an indictment, by the way, on the BOP. This is an indictment on a derelict and duty administrator who has no business doing her job. This is a female warden. Female warden, Lynn Kelly, who runs the prison. absolutely unqualified for the job. I mean, and I say that with confidence. She can sue me. I'd love to go to a deposition for calling her unqualified.
George Santos 4:08
When you run a facility where the bathroom has outbreaks of ringworms and listeria, when you run a facility that you're serving inmates expired food as far back as a year, chicken patties that had been frozen but expired in 2024 were still being served to inmates in 2025.
