Welcome to the three martini lunch.

Grab a stool next to Greg Carumbus of Radio America and Jim Garrity of National Review.

Three martini's coming up.

Hey, so glad you're with us for the Monday edition of the Three Martini Lunch.

Grab a stool.

We got a lot to talk about today.

And let's just sit right off the bat. If you got small kids around parents, you might want to hit that pause button right now. This first martini is going to get into some things that many parents may not want their children to hear, but it's important to talk about.

Not a lot of details until we got to Friday.

And you talk about this in the morning.

Jolt, you sum it up so well.

The San Francisco Chronicle reported Friday that a woman who worked for Swalwell for nearly two years

said he twice sexually assaulted her when she was too intoxicated to consent. Earlier in the week,

Swalwell issued a statement denying accusations of inappropriate sexual relationships with his congressional

interns. Later that day, meaning Friday, CNN reported three other women also alleged various kinds of sexual

misconduct by the Democratic Congressman, including Swalwell, sending them unsolicited,

explicit messages or nude photos, and then asking for similar images in return. He also requested

certain favors, shall we say, of the physical variety.

So, Jim, so much to get to here.

On, I think this was Saturday or maybe late Friday,
