| 0:00.0 | Good Tuesday morning, I'm Anna Palmer and welcome to your Politico Playbook audio briefing, sponsored by Pharma. |
| 0:06.0 | And I'm Jake Sherman, paging Jared Kushner and Donald Trump, the world comes out against the U.S. naming Jerusalem, Israel's capital. |
| 0:13.3 | Turkey says it's their red line. |
| 0:15.7 | Barack Ravid of Israel's Channel 10 says if the U.S. declares Jerusalem the capital, it, quote, |
| 0:22.4 | might lead to cutting off diplomatic relations between Turkey and Israel. The German foreign ministers said that the U.S. recognition |
| 0:27.5 | of Jerusalem as Israel's capital will be, quote, counterproductive and will only worsen the crisis. |

| 1:23.4 | announcement today that he is retiring. Conyers' grandson, Ian Conyers, said he plans to run for |
| 1:28.9 | his great-uncle's seat. Let's take a step back. This decision allows Conyers to leave and avoid |
| 1:34.4 | more awkward confrontation between House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi and her leadership team |
| 1:39.5 | with Conyers and other members of the CBC. But there is still some pressure from some corners of the Democratic |
| 1:45.4 | Caucus for Conyers to resign immediately. The tweet of the morning comes from the AP's Josh Letterman, |
