| 0:00.0 | Good Thursday morning, I'm Anna Palmer and welcome to your Politico Playbook audio briefing, sponsored by UC Davis. |
| 0:07.8 | And I'm Jake Sherman. We've got the document that everyone wants in Playbook this morning, |
| 0:11.4 | detailing the changes to the new Republican health care plan. |
| 0:13.8 | Timing on a vote is still uncertain, and it's unclear if it will pass. But Republicans appear determined to give it a try. Passing it next week |
| 0:22.4 | seems unlikely, given Congress's attention, will be squarely focused on funding the government. |
| 0:27.9 | The government shuts down in eight days, and I've got a scoop with Josh Dossian, how the White |
| 0:31.2 | House is gearing up for a shutdown fight as it tries to secure money for a border wall. More immigration |
| 0:36.3 | enforcement officers and a larger military. |
| 0:38.6 | It's a risky play. Democrats will be in near uniform opposition to the plan. A couple of things |
| 0:43.1 | to watch in this regard. House Democrats are holding a conference call today to discuss their |

| 1:06.5 | give him a plan 90 days into office. So far, there's no team, no plan, and no clear answer from |
| 1:12.2 | the White House on who would be working it out. That unkept promise comes as Trump is getting a |
| 1:16.7 | 100-day report card in a new Politico morning console poll out this morning. Stephen Shepard |
| 1:23.7 | writes that voters are grading Trump's performance on a partisan curve. Republicans are |
| 1:29.1 | inclined to give him good grades on his performance in office so far, mostly A's and B's. Democrats |
| 1:35.0 | are tougher in their assessments, mostly D's and F's. Trump earns his highest marks on fighting |
| 1:41.2 | terrorism, the poll shows. Look for the White House to spend a lot of time in the next week, arguing that they have been |
| 1:46.1 | as productive as any modern White House, with 25 bills signed into law and almost as many |
