Unfortunately, I have no context to provide. It's a conversation between two people in Colombia, where one person says to the other: "Los mismos con las mismas" and the other person does not respond.

it's the same old story
It's the same old story: something that you say when a bad situation has happened many times before.
Quite close to the idea that it's always the same people who have the power, found there:

(It's always) the same group of men with the same group of women
I don't know if this is correct given the limited context, but the speaker might have been complaining how people get together (marriages, relationships) since it says "mismos" and "mismas" implying men and women. Another option would be:
The same group of men always get together/marry the same group of women
The same group of men always get together/marry the same group of women
