| 0:00.0 | Hello everybody. I'm John Fawson with this Great America Show Midday Update for Tuesday, April 14th. Happy Tuesday, folks. |
| 0:06.4 | Hope your days are off to a good start. Where there's one, there's more. Another Eric Swallow |
| 0:11.1 | Accuser has come forward and spoken to press conference in Beverly Hills earlier this morning. |
| 0:15.3 | This is the fifth Swallow Al accuser to come forward named Lana Drews. This alleged victim recounts how Eric Swalwell drugged her |
| 0:22.3 | and raped her in 2018 and choked her to a point of unconsciousness in a West Hollywood hotel room. |
| 0:28.9 | She says in 2018, while she was working as a model in Beverly Hills and owned a fashion software |
| 0:34.0 | company, she had contact with Swalwell on three separate occasions. She knew he was |

| 1:14.2 | I guess we're going to have to find out now what's happening. |
| 1:18.1 | In addition now to being the FBI crosshairs, |
| 1:21.3 | Swalwell also faces investigations from the House Ethics Committee and the Manhattan District Attorney. |
| 1:26.4 | It's nice to see the Manhattan District Attorney deciding to go after somebody other than Trump. And it appears there's a backroom |
| 1:33.1 | deal going on in the Capitol shortly after Eric Swalwell announced his resignation from Congress. |
| 1:37.7 | Congressman Tony Gonzalez announced his retirement. Gonzalez also facing expulsion from Congress |
| 1:42.7 | as to his revealed. He was having an affair with the staffer who died by suicide. |
| 1:47.9 | The poor woman lit herself on fire. And just like that, Tony Gonzalez is going to be able to ride off into the sunset, take his retirement, and leave. I don't think Congress should work like that, and I certainly don't believe that low-life scum |
