| 0:00.0 | Good Thursday morning, I'm Anna Palmer and welcome to your Politico Playbook Audio Briefing, |
| 0:05.9 | sponsored by J.P. Morgan Chase and Company. |
| 0:08.1 | And I'm Jake Sherman. We have a lot of action happening today. First, we expect Congress to pass |
| 0:12.4 | a week-long funding bill. This means there will be no shutdown this week and both parties |
| 0:17.0 | will have more time to negotiate details on a longer spending package. |
| 0:21.4 | The bad news, it's not a good sign for other legislative priorities. Case in point, our |
| 0:27.2 | colleague is Rachel Bade and John Bresnahan, have an overnight story that says a vote on |
| 0:31.8 | Republicans' revised health care bill is increasingly unlikely because moderates still oppose the |
| 0:37.2 | measure. |

| 1:05.2 | sure thing. And the longer it takes to get done, the more wavering you could see on some members |
| 1:10.3 | who aren't thrilled |
| 1:11.1 | to support it. A dem strategist trying to kill the bill sent us a whip list that has 10 Republican |
| 1:16.6 | lawmakers who've expressed their opposition to the revised bill in the last few days. For those |
| 1:21.8 | keeping track at home, Republicans can lose roughly 22 lawmakers and still pass the bill. |
| 1:27.4 | Breaking news, NAFTA is not dead. |
