WEBVTT - BREAKING: New Accuser Claims Eric Swalwell Drugged, Choked And Raped Her

0:00:02.160 --> 0:00:06.360
<v Speaker 1>Hey, folks, it is Tuesday, April fourteenth, and as we

0:00:06.440 --> 0:00:09.680
<v Speaker 1>record this, a woman in Los Angeles is on her

0:00:09.760 --> 0:00:14.600
<v Speaker 1>way to the police department to report the Congressman Eric

0:00:14.960 --> 0:00:21.040
<v Speaker 1>Swolwell drugged, choked and raped her. And with that, welcome

0:00:21.079 --> 0:00:24.560
<v Speaker 1>to this episode of Amy and TJ. This would be

0:00:24.680 --> 0:00:28.880
<v Speaker 1>the fifth accuser and the second woman, Robes, to come

0:00:28.960 --> 0:00:34.279
<v Speaker 1>forward and share a story. Accusation of this is not

0:00:34.479 --> 0:00:39.680
<v Speaker 1>just inappropriate behavior. This is now two accusations of a

0:00:39.840 --> 0:00:41.240
<v Speaker 1>horrible criminal Actcrobes.

0:00:41.479 --> 0:00:47.080
<v Speaker 2>Yes, this isn't sexual harassment, This isn't sexual abuse. This was,

0:00:47.320 --> 0:00:53.440
<v Speaker 2>as she described it, a violent rape that involved drugging

0:00:53.680 --> 0:00:58.440
<v Speaker 2>and you mentioned choking. She actually sat in front of

0:00:58.600 --> 0:01:03.240
<v Speaker 2>cameras with microphones in her face and said after she

0:01:03.320 --> 0:01:06.320
<v Speaker 2>went through this, she says she didn't want to live.

0:01:06.400 --> 0:01:12.160
<v Speaker 2>This was a powerful emotional account of what she claims

0:01:12.200 --> 0:01:14.480
<v Speaker 2>happened in twenty eighteen.

0:01:14.720 --> 0:01:17.080
<v Speaker 1>And we should tell you all now we are hopping on.

0:01:17.200 --> 0:01:19.360
<v Speaker 1>She just wrapped the press conference. We knew this press

0:01:19.360 --> 0:01:21.520
<v Speaker 1>conference was happening. We were told that there would be

0:01:21.560 --> 0:01:25.440
<v Speaker 1>some new details. We were not expecting this. And key here,

0:01:25.640 --> 0:01:29.199
<v Speaker 1>Robes key, is that the first accuser came out. Sure,

0:01:29.280 --> 0:01:32.039
<v Speaker 1>maybe people are putting it together. But she did an

0:01:32.040 --> 0:01:34.399
<v Speaker 1>interview in which she did not show her face, that

0:01:34.520 --> 0:01:37.120
<v Speaker 1>she was blacked out. She hasn't given her name. This

0:01:37.200 --> 0:01:39.960
<v Speaker 1>woman sat in front of a room full of cameras,

0:01:40.160 --> 0:01:44.600
<v Speaker 1>her name is Lana Dreuze, and put her name and

0:01:44.760 --> 0:01:48.040
<v Speaker 1>face on it and told her story. Robes, this is

0:01:48.280 --> 0:01:51.840
<v Speaker 1>not the other. The other. Look, we have to believe

0:01:51.880 --> 0:01:55.480
<v Speaker 1>a woman when she comes forward like this, but talk

0:01:55.520 --> 0:01:59.200
<v Speaker 1>of alcohol and really getting wasted and didn't remember one

0:01:59.280 --> 0:02:01.840
<v Speaker 1>night and then the other that were flashes. This is

0:02:01.960 --> 0:02:04.440
<v Speaker 1>not the case at all with this woman's story.

0:02:04.600 --> 0:02:06.760
<v Speaker 2>I have to tell you, just listening to her tell

0:02:06.800 --> 0:02:09.800
<v Speaker 2>her story, you could hear a pin drop and I

0:02:09.880 --> 0:02:13.400
<v Speaker 2>had chills from head to toe multiple times listening to

0:02:13.440 --> 0:02:15.520
<v Speaker 2>her recount this. And I just have to say just

0:02:15.560 --> 0:02:19.160
<v Speaker 2>in terms of my impressions, and everyone can have their impression.

0:02:19.200 --> 0:02:21.720
<v Speaker 2>And of course this is her version events. This is

0:02:21.760 --> 0:02:26.920
<v Speaker 2>all alleged. He of course denies any wrongdoing, denies so

0:02:27.080 --> 0:02:30.400
<v Speaker 2>far any of the accounts and certainly any criminal accounts

0:02:30.440 --> 0:02:33.720
<v Speaker 2>that have been made that would describe behavior that could

0:02:33.720 --> 0:02:38.680
<v Speaker 2>be yes punishable by police. So he's denied everything. However,

0:02:38.919 --> 0:02:43.720
<v Speaker 2>listening to her tell her story Damn. She was very believable.

0:02:43.760 --> 0:02:47.840
<v Speaker 2>She was composed, she was emotional, but in a very

0:02:48.040 --> 0:02:53.400
<v Speaker 2>genuine way. I thought listening to her, I felt for

0:02:53.440 --> 0:02:54.960
<v Speaker 2>her and I believed her.

0:02:55.800 --> 0:02:59.320
<v Speaker 1>Frankly, she felt brave. She felt brave sitting there and

0:02:59.360 --> 0:03:01.120
<v Speaker 1>hearing part of her story robes and I know it

0:03:01.160 --> 0:03:02.880
<v Speaker 1>was a part that you jumped on the most, and

0:03:02.919 --> 0:03:06.360
<v Speaker 1>you were like, I feel her. There is that the

0:03:06.400 --> 0:03:08.440
<v Speaker 1>reason she hasn't come forward in all this time and

0:03:08.480 --> 0:03:12.160
<v Speaker 1>we're talking about it's been eight years. She lived in fear,

0:03:12.639 --> 0:03:15.520
<v Speaker 1>and she was in circles that were influential and didn't

0:03:15.560 --> 0:03:19.160
<v Speaker 1>want to rock the boat. And when you were listening

0:03:19.160 --> 0:03:21.200
<v Speaker 1>to her, you were like, Yep, that reads Yep, that

0:03:21.240 --> 0:03:22.880
<v Speaker 1>makes sense, Yep, I get it.

0:03:23.080 --> 0:03:24.520
<v Speaker 3>Yes, because here is a woman.

0:03:24.600 --> 0:03:27.240
<v Speaker 2>She was a model in Beverly Hills, but she also

0:03:27.360 --> 0:03:31.440
<v Speaker 2>owned a fashion software company, and she was hoping to

0:03:31.480 --> 0:03:35.920
<v Speaker 2>get connected to folks in Silicon Valley. She describes Congressman

0:03:36.000 --> 0:03:38.920
<v Speaker 2>Eric swall Well as a friend and someone who said, hey,

0:03:39.400 --> 0:03:42.360
<v Speaker 2>I can hook you up. I've got connections. Let's have

0:03:42.440 --> 0:03:44.240
<v Speaker 2>some meetings. So she had a couple of meetings with him.

0:03:44.240 --> 0:03:46.720
<v Speaker 2>This was another meeting and she said, I knew he

0:03:46.760 --> 0:03:49.160
<v Speaker 2>was married. I knew his wife was pregnant. So she

0:03:49.280 --> 0:03:53.160
<v Speaker 2>went into this not feeling threatened or feeling like maybe

0:03:53.160 --> 0:03:56.000
<v Speaker 2>something else was going on. She felt like this was

0:03:56.080 --> 0:04:00.920
<v Speaker 2>a legit business friendship that could actually serve her well

0:04:01.080 --> 0:04:05.360
<v Speaker 2>in her in her professional career. And when she talked

0:04:05.400 --> 0:04:08.640
<v Speaker 2>about why she didn't tell, she did tell friends. She

0:04:08.720 --> 0:04:12.640
<v Speaker 2>did say this, and she didn't document it in several ways. Personally,

0:04:12.720 --> 0:04:15.840
<v Speaker 2>she went to a therapist for years, but she didn't

0:04:15.880 --> 0:04:17.880
<v Speaker 2>want to go to police, and she didn't want to

0:04:18.040 --> 0:04:22.080
<v Speaker 2>say anything publicly out of fear that her she wouldn't

0:04:22.120 --> 0:04:24.560
<v Speaker 2>be believed that he was a powerful political figure who

0:04:24.560 --> 0:04:26.880
<v Speaker 2>had She said, his family has ties to law enforcement.

0:04:27.200 --> 0:04:30.000
<v Speaker 2>He's a big deal in this area. And to go

0:04:30.160 --> 0:04:33.160
<v Speaker 2>up against him and to say something happened and then

0:04:33.240 --> 0:04:36.200
<v Speaker 2>to be pitted against him, she said he said.

0:04:36.240 --> 0:04:39.159
<v Speaker 3>She just she felt too afraid to come forward.

0:04:39.560 --> 0:04:42.599
<v Speaker 1>Her delay was driven by fear, not doubt is how

0:04:42.640 --> 0:04:46.000
<v Speaker 1>she placed it. But her name is Lana Drews. She was,

0:04:46.000 --> 0:04:48.560
<v Speaker 1>as you mentioned, robes, working as a model at this

0:04:48.640 --> 0:04:51.479
<v Speaker 1>company out there now her press conference, and I wanted

0:04:51.480 --> 0:04:54.160
<v Speaker 1>to make sure we said this exactly how she said

0:04:54.160 --> 0:04:59.240
<v Speaker 1>it quote. I believed he drugged my drink. Now, she

0:04:59.360 --> 0:05:01.680
<v Speaker 1>goes on to tip this story of Robe. She says,

0:05:01.720 --> 0:05:06.920
<v Speaker 1>she met him and they were together socially on three occasions.

0:05:07.000 --> 0:05:09.360
<v Speaker 1>She offered to help him, excuse me, he offered to

0:05:09.400 --> 0:05:12.120
<v Speaker 1>help her out. But the third occasion, let's move to

0:05:12.160 --> 0:05:15.360
<v Speaker 1>that one rose and she starts to describe they were

0:05:15.440 --> 0:05:18.120
<v Speaker 1>supposed to go to an event together again twenty eighteen.

0:05:18.360 --> 0:05:20.119
<v Speaker 1>Is supposed to go to some event, but he says

0:05:20.440 --> 0:05:21.880
<v Speaker 1>he needs to go back up to his room.

0:05:21.960 --> 0:05:24.880
<v Speaker 2>Correct, And she said, beforehand they had she had one

0:05:25.000 --> 0:05:28.360
<v Speaker 2>glass of wine. One one glass of wine. And she said, look,

0:05:28.400 --> 0:05:30.600
<v Speaker 2>she was considering running for city council. She had an

0:05:30.600 --> 0:05:33.000
<v Speaker 2>interest in politics, So yes, she was going to a

0:05:33.040 --> 0:05:35.640
<v Speaker 2>public event with him, so she knows she only had

0:05:35.760 --> 0:05:39.520
<v Speaker 2>one glass of wine. He said, according to her, oops,

0:05:39.560 --> 0:05:41.359
<v Speaker 2>I got to run up to my hotel room to

0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:43.120
<v Speaker 2>retrieve some paperwork.

0:05:43.640 --> 0:05:44.040
<v Speaker 3>She said.

0:05:44.040 --> 0:05:48.560
<v Speaker 2>By the time she walked into his room, she couldn't

0:05:48.600 --> 0:05:51.000
<v Speaker 2>move her arms. She started to feel the effects of

0:05:51.000 --> 0:05:53.800
<v Speaker 2>what she believes was a drug that she believes he

0:05:53.880 --> 0:05:54.880
<v Speaker 2>put in her drink.

0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:56.920
<v Speaker 1>What she described as not somebody had just had one

0:05:56.960 --> 0:05:58.839
<v Speaker 1>glass of wine. I don't care how much of a lightweight,

0:05:58.880 --> 0:06:04.359
<v Speaker 1>what she described sounds fishy. Now robes before we continue

0:06:04.360 --> 0:06:06.880
<v Speaker 1>with her story. The reason this stands out so much

0:06:06.920 --> 0:06:10.080
<v Speaker 1>because we couldn't understand why the other accuser said he

0:06:10.200 --> 0:06:14.480
<v Speaker 1>also raped her. Couldn't remember whole parts of the night,

0:06:14.520 --> 0:06:19.200
<v Speaker 1>couldn't remember going from the bar to the hottel, couldn't

0:06:19.200 --> 0:06:22.039
<v Speaker 1>remember anything in between. Now robes that, well, folks have

0:06:22.080 --> 0:06:24.920
<v Speaker 1>been blackout drunk before. You happen to be blackout drunk

0:06:24.960 --> 0:06:27.000
<v Speaker 1>on the two times and can't remember anything the two

0:06:27.040 --> 0:06:29.080
<v Speaker 1>times you met up with this congressman. Robes that might

0:06:29.160 --> 0:06:31.880
<v Speaker 1>lend itself a little more to that story. And what

0:06:32.040 --> 0:06:35.120
<v Speaker 1>could have could have She's not alleging, right.

0:06:35.320 --> 0:06:36.000
<v Speaker 3>She doesn't know.

0:06:36.320 --> 0:06:38.400
<v Speaker 2>She doesn't even know enough to allege, and she knows

0:06:38.440 --> 0:06:40.479
<v Speaker 2>she was drinking, So I actually give her credit. She

0:06:40.520 --> 0:06:42.360
<v Speaker 2>wasn't trying to say I only had one and I

0:06:42.360 --> 0:06:44.839
<v Speaker 2>don't know how she was like I was heavily drinking.

0:06:44.839 --> 0:06:48.719
<v Speaker 2>But you are correct. When I was listening to Anna

0:06:48.800 --> 0:06:53.080
<v Speaker 2>Drew's tell her story, I immediately went to the former

0:06:53.120 --> 0:06:57.120
<v Speaker 2>staffer and thought, I wonder if she even considered that

0:06:57.320 --> 0:07:00.800
<v Speaker 2>maybe something was put in one of those ris to

0:07:00.920 --> 0:07:03.680
<v Speaker 2>make her literally remember nothing.

0:07:04.000 --> 0:07:05.560
<v Speaker 1>That was how back to Lana. Yeah, I just would

0:07:05.600 --> 0:07:07.160
<v Speaker 1>insert that in there. But yeah, she says she has

0:07:07.200 --> 0:07:09.479
<v Speaker 1>the one drink goes upstairs. Can't move a body, she said.

0:07:09.279 --> 0:07:11.360
<v Speaker 3>You couldn't move her arms, She couldn't move her body.

0:07:11.600 --> 0:07:14.400
<v Speaker 2>But she knew what was going on, and she said

0:07:14.720 --> 0:07:18.960
<v Speaker 2>he raped her and he choked her so much that

0:07:19.080 --> 0:07:22.680
<v Speaker 2>she says she actually lost consciousness. She said she thought

0:07:22.680 --> 0:07:26.200
<v Speaker 2>she was dying. Yeah, she used that phrase. I thought

0:07:26.360 --> 0:07:27.560
<v Speaker 2>I was dying.

0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:31.120
<v Speaker 1>Now I didn't hear. They didn't go into details. I

0:07:31.120 --> 0:07:33.960
<v Speaker 1>think robes about the aftermath, what happened immediately after, How

0:07:34.000 --> 0:07:35.840
<v Speaker 1>does she get away from her, how does she get home?

0:07:35.920 --> 0:07:39.040
<v Speaker 1>Whatever happened. They didn't give those details, and they didn't

0:07:39.080 --> 0:07:41.480
<v Speaker 1>give all details. She did let us know that at

0:07:41.520 --> 0:07:44.440
<v Speaker 1>the time she did not do a rape, kip, but robe.

0:07:44.480 --> 0:07:47.440
<v Speaker 1>She did plenty of other things that will be seen

0:07:47.560 --> 0:07:50.160
<v Speaker 1>as if even if not evidence, it'll certainly lend to

0:07:50.160 --> 0:07:50.880
<v Speaker 1>her credibility.

0:07:50.920 --> 0:07:53.720
<v Speaker 2>Oh, this is something that police look for when they

0:07:53.760 --> 0:07:56.840
<v Speaker 2>are putting together a criminal investigation and get ready to

0:07:56.840 --> 0:07:59.800
<v Speaker 2>make charges. Did she tell people close to her at

0:07:59.800 --> 0:08:01.360
<v Speaker 2>the time she claims it happened.

0:08:01.400 --> 0:08:04.400
<v Speaker 3>The answer is yes. She also says she logged it.

0:08:04.400 --> 0:08:08.520
<v Speaker 2>In her handwritten calendar that this happened on this date.

0:08:08.880 --> 0:08:14.280
<v Speaker 2>And then she also documented the assault during multiple therapy sessions.

0:08:14.200 --> 0:08:16.880
<v Speaker 3>At a sexual assault center.

0:08:17.200 --> 0:08:19.200
<v Speaker 1>Ha, that's a if they got those records.

0:08:19.440 --> 0:08:21.480
<v Speaker 2>And the fact if she did all of this in

0:08:21.560 --> 0:08:27.160
<v Speaker 2>twenty eighteen and said nothing publicly, it absolutely corroborates or

0:08:27.200 --> 0:08:29.320
<v Speaker 2>at least makes it so much more believable that she

0:08:29.440 --> 0:08:33.199
<v Speaker 2>didn't go forward because she was afraid. She was afraid

0:08:33.679 --> 0:08:37.280
<v Speaker 2>of being put in that position of being forced to

0:08:37.440 --> 0:08:40.840
<v Speaker 2>perhaps even maybe lose her business or lose clients, or

0:08:40.920 --> 0:08:44.040
<v Speaker 2>just becoming that woman no one wants to be. No

0:08:44.160 --> 0:08:47.319
<v Speaker 2>woman wants to be that woman who's pointing the finger

0:08:47.400 --> 0:08:48.440
<v Speaker 2>at a powerful man.

0:08:48.960 --> 0:08:50.560
<v Speaker 3>It's a scary, scary endeavor.

0:08:50.559 --> 0:08:53.200
<v Speaker 2>But the fact that she did all of those things

0:08:53.480 --> 0:08:57.559
<v Speaker 2>to try and heal herself speaks to me to her credibility.

0:08:57.760 --> 0:08:59.720
<v Speaker 1>And again, this is in twenty eighteen is when this

0:08:59.720 --> 0:09:02.040
<v Speaker 1>happened into a robe. Since then, there have been plenty

0:09:02.040 --> 0:09:05.280
<v Speaker 1>of other times that she was after him, times when

0:09:05.280 --> 0:09:08.200
<v Speaker 1>his profile was higher. There were times she could have

0:09:08.400 --> 0:09:10.360
<v Speaker 1>hurt him if she wanted to hurt him. There were

0:09:10.400 --> 0:09:12.440
<v Speaker 1>times she could have blackmailed him if she wanted to

0:09:12.480 --> 0:09:15.120
<v Speaker 1>blackmail him. In some way, form or fashion. If she

0:09:15.160 --> 0:09:19.840
<v Speaker 1>wanted to favor even from him, she had plenty of

0:09:19.960 --> 0:09:24.600
<v Speaker 1>chances to do so, Robes, and she's just that lends

0:09:25.200 --> 0:09:26.960
<v Speaker 1>greatly to credibility.

0:09:27.080 --> 0:09:31.920
<v Speaker 2>Yes, again, watching her, listening to her description of what happened,

0:09:31.960 --> 0:09:35.800
<v Speaker 2>hearing how she acted in the aftermath of everything, it

0:09:36.040 --> 0:09:38.880
<v Speaker 2>all seemed very credible.

0:09:38.920 --> 0:09:39.880
<v Speaker 3>And it is.

0:09:39.920 --> 0:09:43.720
<v Speaker 2>Of note because she felt safe, she felt empowered, She

0:09:43.760 --> 0:09:46.720
<v Speaker 2>felt like she would be believed now and that makes

0:09:46.720 --> 0:09:48.880
<v Speaker 2>a lot of sense too, because other women have come

0:09:48.920 --> 0:09:50.920
<v Speaker 2>forward and there.

0:09:50.840 --> 0:09:55.400
<v Speaker 1>Might be more. We will explain what her attorney said

0:09:55.440 --> 0:10:00.719
<v Speaker 1>in this press conference. That will have Eric Swallwell certainly concerned,

0:10:00.960 --> 0:10:05.679
<v Speaker 1>but it'll raise more eyebrows about just how many women

0:10:05.800 --> 0:10:17.640
<v Speaker 1>potential victims there are out there. Stare all right? We

0:10:17.679 --> 0:10:20.760
<v Speaker 1>continue here on Amy and TJ. Robes are just mentioned.

0:10:21.559 --> 0:10:24.000
<v Speaker 1>You said she has come forward now, and she's come

0:10:24.040 --> 0:10:27.320
<v Speaker 1>forward because other women came forward. Well, now that she's

0:10:27.400 --> 0:10:32.400
<v Speaker 1>come forward, shouldn't we expect possibly phones to be ringing

0:10:32.440 --> 0:10:35.480
<v Speaker 1>at a Manhattan DA's office, at the Los Angeles Police

0:10:35.480 --> 0:10:38.960
<v Speaker 1>Department of Beverly Hills, wherever they are Robes this How

0:10:39.000 --> 0:10:40.160
<v Speaker 1>far does this go? Yet?

0:10:40.240 --> 0:10:46.199
<v Speaker 2>Because the timing all is interesting because remember his former staffer,

0:10:46.200 --> 0:10:49.080
<v Speaker 2>who was twenty one at the time, detailed what she

0:10:49.240 --> 0:10:52.000
<v Speaker 2>said was the first time he sexually assaulted her. As

0:10:52.120 --> 0:10:57.840
<v Speaker 2>twenty nineteen, we are hearing from Lana that her incident happened,

0:10:58.240 --> 0:11:02.160
<v Speaker 2>she says, in two thousand eighteen. So this is all

0:11:02.360 --> 0:11:05.559
<v Speaker 2>in the same kind of period of time. And look,

0:11:05.679 --> 0:11:09.319
<v Speaker 2>if this is true, I believe from just the experience

0:11:09.400 --> 0:11:12.079
<v Speaker 2>we've had covering these types of stories, when a person

0:11:12.320 --> 0:11:16.679
<v Speaker 2>acts like this, it oftentimes isn't an outlier. It isn't

0:11:16.720 --> 0:11:22.559
<v Speaker 2>an individual or a singular event. This typically is a sexual.

0:11:22.160 --> 0:11:23.559
<v Speaker 3>Desire and a pattern.

0:11:24.120 --> 0:11:26.920
<v Speaker 2>And so if you've already got now the fifth woman

0:11:26.960 --> 0:11:33.040
<v Speaker 2>coming out and what they describe is so atrocious and violent,

0:11:33.120 --> 0:11:35.080
<v Speaker 2>and if he had been getting away with it year

0:11:35.120 --> 0:11:38.040
<v Speaker 2>after year after year, if this is all true, I

0:11:38.080 --> 0:11:39.439
<v Speaker 2>can't imagine.

0:11:38.960 --> 0:11:40.720
<v Speaker 3>There aren't more women there.

0:11:41.000 --> 0:11:45.440
<v Speaker 2>It seems like there almost certainly are more women roams.

0:11:45.840 --> 0:11:49.080
<v Speaker 1>You said this to me before. In cases maybe not

0:11:49.120 --> 0:11:53.000
<v Speaker 1>a drug, but it's hard to imagine that this was

0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:55.720
<v Speaker 1>the first time he'd done it. If he did it,

0:11:56.360 --> 0:12:00.880
<v Speaker 1>that she was the first or a one off, that

0:12:00.960 --> 0:12:04.240
<v Speaker 1>means it's possibly happened. How many possible times you're telling me,

0:12:04.280 --> 0:12:07.559
<v Speaker 1>a US congressman who actually ran for president and wanted

0:12:07.600 --> 0:12:10.319
<v Speaker 1>to be the governor of California, was out there drugging

0:12:10.360 --> 0:12:15.400
<v Speaker 1>and raping people. Robe. That's geez, Robe. This is an

0:12:15.559 --> 0:12:19.800
<v Speaker 1>unbelievable story, he is. This is not a one off.

0:12:19.840 --> 0:12:24.920
<v Speaker 1>And look, we believe that first victim that first. You

0:12:24.960 --> 0:12:27.560
<v Speaker 1>have to listen to that story, Robes. But there are

0:12:27.559 --> 0:12:29.440
<v Speaker 1>parts of that story you might ask a follow up

0:12:29.480 --> 0:12:31.480
<v Speaker 1>question about. There are parts of that story you might

0:12:31.559 --> 0:12:35.920
<v Speaker 1>question about memories in it. What this lady's story is,

0:12:36.480 --> 0:12:40.199
<v Speaker 1>at least from a press conference unimpeachable, Robes.

0:12:40.320 --> 0:12:41.160
<v Speaker 3>She has a way to put it.

0:12:41.200 --> 0:12:44.240
<v Speaker 1>She's got receipts upon receipts upon receipts, she says. Now

0:12:44.280 --> 0:12:46.680
<v Speaker 1>we haven't seen them yet, but as we sit here,

0:12:47.360 --> 0:12:50.080
<v Speaker 1>she says, she was getting up from that press conference

0:12:50.080 --> 0:12:51.320
<v Speaker 1>and going directly to police.

0:12:51.559 --> 0:12:52.400
<v Speaker 3>That was powerful.

0:12:52.840 --> 0:12:55.480
<v Speaker 2>When she said, I will be making a report to

0:12:55.559 --> 0:12:57.359
<v Speaker 2>law enforcement immediately.

0:12:57.760 --> 0:12:59.880
<v Speaker 3>I could see this could make me emotion.

0:13:00.280 --> 0:13:03.600
<v Speaker 2>I could see the strength coming back to her because

0:13:03.600 --> 0:13:06.920
<v Speaker 2>when she was telling the story, she was vulnerable, she

0:13:07.120 --> 0:13:11.640
<v Speaker 2>was emotional. You could see and feel how powerless she

0:13:11.720 --> 0:13:15.240
<v Speaker 2>felt and she has felt in that moment and all

0:13:15.280 --> 0:13:18.120
<v Speaker 2>of the years that have followed, even telling us that

0:13:18.200 --> 0:13:21.440
<v Speaker 2>she wanted she had suicidal thoughts based on what she

0:13:21.480 --> 0:13:25.440
<v Speaker 2>had experienced because she felt so powerless, helpless, And to

0:13:25.480 --> 0:13:27.760
<v Speaker 2>see her say I will be making a report to

0:13:27.840 --> 0:13:31.240
<v Speaker 2>law enforce it. Immediately, I saw the strength come back

0:13:31.320 --> 0:13:35.280
<v Speaker 2>in her voice, and I felt I just felt a

0:13:35.320 --> 0:13:37.920
<v Speaker 2>bunch of pride rushing up in me, because in this moment,

0:13:37.920 --> 0:13:40.720
<v Speaker 2>when you saw her and you heard her story, and

0:13:40.760 --> 0:13:42.880
<v Speaker 2>you take in the consideration of all the other stories

0:13:42.880 --> 0:13:45.800
<v Speaker 2>that are out there, you start to get an idea

0:13:45.920 --> 0:13:50.679
<v Speaker 2>of what one man who is unchecked with this kind

0:13:50.760 --> 0:13:54.120
<v Speaker 2>of power, the damage that he can cause. Now again

0:13:55.559 --> 0:13:58.200
<v Speaker 2>we need to say it multiple times. Eric Swolwell has

0:13:58.280 --> 0:14:00.920
<v Speaker 2>denied all of these allegations. He has not been charged

0:14:00.960 --> 0:14:05.160
<v Speaker 2>with any crime. But still this is a picture that

0:14:05.320 --> 0:14:08.880
<v Speaker 2>is emerging that is chilling and should be paid very

0:14:08.920 --> 0:14:09.720
<v Speaker 2>close attention to.

0:14:11.559 --> 0:14:14.800
<v Speaker 1>And romees we mentioned we don't know how far this

0:14:14.840 --> 0:14:21.040
<v Speaker 1>will go, but this is beyond messages and unwanted right

0:14:21.160 --> 0:14:25.880
<v Speaker 1>misconduct is different from criminal and robes. They are paying

0:14:25.880 --> 0:14:29.600
<v Speaker 1>the picture now of a potential monster. It is just

0:14:29.680 --> 0:14:32.600
<v Speaker 1>hard to understand. And we are rogues that you thought

0:14:32.600 --> 0:14:36.160
<v Speaker 1>it was interesting that when the Manhattan DA put out

0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:40.040
<v Speaker 1>a statement saying they were looking into this. They had

0:14:40.080 --> 0:14:43.040
<v Speaker 1>a call out essentially, there any other victims out there,

0:14:43.120 --> 0:14:44.400
<v Speaker 1>we want to hear from. It had a phone number,

0:14:44.400 --> 0:14:45.120
<v Speaker 1>didn't they attach to it?

0:14:45.200 --> 0:14:48.160
<v Speaker 3>They did for their Special Victims Unit.

0:14:48.600 --> 0:14:51.600
<v Speaker 1>That's one of the last things Lana's attorney did at

0:14:51.600 --> 0:14:55.800
<v Speaker 1>Lisa Bloom said, we want to hear from you, gave

0:14:55.880 --> 0:14:58.320
<v Speaker 1>a website, gave a number. We want to hear not

0:14:58.360 --> 0:15:02.840
<v Speaker 1>just from potential survivors, but also witnesses to anything. So

0:15:02.880 --> 0:15:05.280
<v Speaker 1>not even if you just saw you're aware of something,

0:15:05.280 --> 0:15:06.960
<v Speaker 1>we want to hear. She says she's already heard from

0:15:07.000 --> 0:15:07.400
<v Speaker 1>three women.

0:15:10.000 --> 0:15:14.320
<v Speaker 3>Wow, and that's not shocking, but it's still so sickening

0:15:14.360 --> 0:15:14.640
<v Speaker 3>to hear.

0:15:14.960 --> 0:15:18.080
<v Speaker 1>Just more phone calls are likely being made. Robes, I

0:15:18.200 --> 0:15:20.480
<v Speaker 1>just taught this is a member of Congress rogues. We

0:15:20.520 --> 0:15:23.040
<v Speaker 1>talked about governor of California. He's trying to be he's

0:15:23.040 --> 0:15:27.600
<v Speaker 1>trying to he presided over the impeachment trial. This is

0:15:27.600 --> 0:15:33.720
<v Speaker 1>a high profile, big influential guy that was raping people.

0:15:33.760 --> 0:15:36.160
<v Speaker 3>And you know for years twenty eighteen, by the way,

0:15:36.360 --> 0:15:39.760
<v Speaker 3>it's the year of me too. That actually also is

0:15:39.920 --> 0:15:40.680
<v Speaker 3>shocking to me.

0:15:41.240 --> 0:15:44.520
<v Speaker 2>I would have thought naively so I guess that all

0:15:44.560 --> 0:15:47.480
<v Speaker 2>of these powerful men who may have been behaving badly,

0:15:47.520 --> 0:15:50.720
<v Speaker 2>who had gotten away with it for decades, years, whatever,

0:15:51.040 --> 0:15:54.600
<v Speaker 2>when that reckoning took place, I would have thought that

0:15:54.840 --> 0:15:58.840
<v Speaker 2>even if you're that guy, you might check yourself and think,

0:15:58.880 --> 0:16:01.800
<v Speaker 2>you know what, I'm might actually go down. This is

0:16:01.840 --> 0:16:04.720
<v Speaker 2>not worth it, any sexual fantasy I have or anything

0:16:04.760 --> 0:16:07.800
<v Speaker 2>I'm getting out of doing this isn't worth me losing

0:16:07.840 --> 0:16:11.120
<v Speaker 2>my entire life and livelihood. And yet, if this is

0:16:11.280 --> 0:16:16.560
<v Speaker 2>true the timing, actually this was happening, if it happened.

0:16:16.400 --> 0:16:19.160
<v Speaker 3>In the midst of me too, think about that King.

0:16:19.320 --> 0:16:21.760
<v Speaker 1>Now you tell me maybe some of the other accusers

0:16:21.800 --> 0:16:25.040
<v Speaker 1>about the messages and whatnot. Do you know the years

0:16:25.320 --> 0:16:26.840
<v Speaker 1>the range for those.

0:16:26.720 --> 0:16:30.240
<v Speaker 2>Well, I thought I had seen like twenty twenty one. Yes,

0:16:30.520 --> 0:16:33.640
<v Speaker 2>it seemed as though that the dates we've gotten the

0:16:33.680 --> 0:16:34.600
<v Speaker 2>first one was.

0:16:35.240 --> 0:16:39.280
<v Speaker 1>Twenty eighteen and nineteen, or were we had in nineteen.

0:16:38.920 --> 0:16:40.960
<v Speaker 2>So now we have yeah, that's it, twenty eighteen, and

0:16:41.000 --> 0:16:43.000
<v Speaker 2>then all the way up to twenty twenty four. So

0:16:43.400 --> 0:16:47.640
<v Speaker 2>it seems as though these instances and some of the

0:16:47.680 --> 0:16:49.920
<v Speaker 2>ones from these social influencers. I'm not trying to act

0:16:49.960 --> 0:16:51.800
<v Speaker 2>like it's not a big deal, But they are a

0:16:51.800 --> 0:16:54.240
<v Speaker 2>far cry from what we're hearing from these two women,

0:16:54.280 --> 0:16:58.240
<v Speaker 2>the former staffer and now this former model, Lana drus

0:16:58.720 --> 0:17:01.800
<v Speaker 2>But I do think it's really really significant that she

0:17:01.960 --> 0:17:04.159
<v Speaker 2>did not only put her name to it, but her

0:17:04.240 --> 0:17:06.280
<v Speaker 2>face to it and her own voice to it.

0:17:06.440 --> 0:17:09.240
<v Speaker 1>That was powerful Robes. There might be more fallout, are

0:17:09.240 --> 0:17:13.879
<v Speaker 1>they You're all really gonna somebody's gonna start asking who knew?

0:17:13.880 --> 0:17:16.600
<v Speaker 1>What are you really telling me? Y'all been walking the

0:17:16.600 --> 0:17:20.000
<v Speaker 1>halls with him for the past eight years and nobody

0:17:20.080 --> 0:17:22.520
<v Speaker 1>because stuffs starting is like it was an open secret

0:17:22.600 --> 0:17:23.280
<v Speaker 1>here in DC.

0:17:23.680 --> 0:17:26.879
<v Speaker 2>Don't forget and we haven't validated any of this, but

0:17:26.960 --> 0:17:31.760
<v Speaker 2>there are videos circulating online of people catching him kind

0:17:31.760 --> 0:17:35.720
<v Speaker 2>of bragging about certain kind of behavior or being bored

0:17:35.720 --> 0:17:38.760
<v Speaker 2>with his wife, and so look, it would I would

0:17:38.840 --> 0:17:42.280
<v Speaker 2>imagine other people might have had an idea, but maybe

0:17:42.320 --> 0:17:46.040
<v Speaker 2>they didn't know how significant and violent some of these

0:17:46.080 --> 0:17:47.240
<v Speaker 2>accusations actually are.

0:17:47.400 --> 0:17:50.440
<v Speaker 1>This is a relevant story that a very relevant story

0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:53.760
<v Speaker 1>that seems to be just getting started. Probably it was

0:17:53.840 --> 0:17:58.320
<v Speaker 1>just last Thursday. He was trying to be the governor

0:17:58.320 --> 0:17:58.960
<v Speaker 1>of California.

0:17:59.000 --> 0:18:00.640
<v Speaker 3>He thought he had a pretty damn a good chance

0:18:00.680 --> 0:18:01.760
<v Speaker 3>to rose.

0:18:01.840 --> 0:18:05.800
<v Speaker 1>How could he unbelievable story, but again he is an

0:18:05.840 --> 0:18:09.000
<v Speaker 1>innocent man and to proven otherwise in a court of law.

0:18:09.040 --> 0:18:11.960
<v Speaker 1>We always have to remember. But folks, we appreciate you

0:18:12.000 --> 0:18:14.359
<v Speaker 1>spending some time with us. This was a significant update.

0:18:14.400 --> 0:18:15.960
<v Speaker 1>Just wanting to hop on and let you know what

0:18:16.040 --> 0:18:18.600
<v Speaker 1>was going on. It's always appreciate you spending time with

0:18:18.680 --> 0:18:20.520
<v Speaker 1>us on TJ on behalf of my dear Ammy Robot.

0:18:20.560 --> 0:18:21.359
<v Speaker 1>We will talk to you also
