[0:00] Welcome back to take a political panel
[0:01] time. It's so exciting. Let me introduce
[0:03] our political panelist, former
[0:05] Republican congressman from Louisiana,
[0:06] Garrett Graves, and communications
[0:08] director for the Democratic House
[0:09] Majority Pack, CJ Warkey. Great to have
[0:11] you both here. I want to play for you
[0:13] sound from Ron DeSantis on Jake Tapper,
[0:15] my buddy at CNN, last night talking
[0:17] about what this election meant and what
[0:19] he saw. Listen,
[0:21] >> they were really hitting the issue of
[0:22] corruption and hitting it very hard. I'm
[0:25] watching an ad on the World Series and I
[0:27] see him talking about one of our people
[0:29] voting against releasing the Epstein
[0:31] files and I'm like, well, why would you
[0:33] not vote for that? We ran on that in
[0:36] 2024. Talking about the stock trading,
[0:39] talking about some of the other uh
[0:41] things where people are making money in
[0:42] the swamp now. That was a big part of
[0:45] this election.
[0:46] >> Garrett, do you agree? I
[0:48] >> I think that he makes some good points,
[0:50] but I also think that the messaging for
[0:51] Republicans was not good going into this
[0:53] race. Look, the president won because
[0:55] people were concerned about the southern
[0:57] border. He's addressed it. P
