| 0:00.0 | Good Monday morning. I'm Jake Sherman and welcome to your Politico Playbook Audio Briefing, |
| 0:05.0 | sponsored by Goldman Sachs 10,000 small businesses. And I'm Anna Palmer. The Philadelphia Eagles upset the |
| 0:10.8 | New England Patriots last night, 41 to 33 in a fourth quarter comeback at the Super Bowl. |
| 0:17.4 | Back in political news, since Paul Ryan deleted a tweet over the weekend, which |
| 0:21.9 | seemed to tout a woman who saved $1.50 a week from the GOP tax bill, Randy Bryce, the Democrat |
| 0:29.1 | who is running against Ryan, says he has raised $130,109 from donors, more than half of whom donated $1.50 to his campaign. |

| 1:12.9 | But senior Republican leaders seem confident they could squeeze a funding bill through the House |
| 1:17.1 | with only Republican votes. |
| 1:19.4 | Just a friendly reminder, House Democrats are scheduled to go on their legislative retreat |
| 1:23.2 | in Cambridge, Maryland Wednesday, so this chapter of the funding fight should be wrapped up by then. |
| 1:28.5 | Here's our best guess about what will happen as of today. Republicans will squeeze the funding bill |
| 1:33.6 | through the House after a few fits and panics. Maybe they add some defense spending to the bill |
