California Chaos: High Speed Rail Fiasco & The Eric Swalwell Scandal

Episode length: 29m

Subscribe to 3 Martini LunchSubscribe

Join Jim and Greg for the Tuesday 3 Martini Lunch as they break down President Trump’s search for the source of a sensitive Iran rescue leak, the staggering new funding demands for California’s troubled high-speed rail project, and explosive allegations surrounding Rep. Eric Swalwell’s gubernatorial run.

First, they fully support President Trump's frustration with someone leaking critically important and sensitive information during the mission to rescue two American aviators from Iran. But they also caution that trying to figure it out by targeting media that reported the leaks is likely to end in more frustration.

Next, they shake their heads in disbelief as officials in California insist $126 billion will finish the high-speed rail project that is already way over budget and hopelessly behind schedule. Jim and Greg explain why this project has been such a mess and react to those with the gall to ask for even more taxpayer money.

Then, they examine allegations from a left-wing attorney claiming Eric Swalwell engaged in inappropriate relationships with multiple interns and required non-disclosure agreements. If some of these women go public, what will be the impact on Swalwell? Jim and Greg also react to President Trump endorsing Steve Hilton in the California governor's race.

Finally, Greg celebrates the University of Michigan winning the NCAA basketball title.
