| 0:00.0 | Good Thursday morning, I'm Jake Sherman, and welcome to your Politico Playbook Audio Briefing, sponsored by Postmates. |
| 0:06.6 | And I'm Anna Palmer. Louisiana representative Steve Scalise's office put out a statement late last night saying, |
| 0:13.2 | Congressman Steve Scalise has been readmitted to the intensive care unit at MedStar Washington Hospital Center due to new concerns for infection. His condition |
| 0:22.7 | is listed as serious. We will provide another update tomorrow, July 6th. President Trump is in Poland, |
| 0:28.8 | and here's what he said at his news conference this morning with the president of Poland. He said |
| 0:32.9 | Polish Americans came out in droves in the 2016 election and noted he was very happy with the result. |
| 0:38.4 | He said the U.S. was working with Poland to counter Russia's destabilizing behavior in the region. |
| 0:43.5 | Trump vowed to confront North Korea very strongly and said there are consequences for their, |
| 0:47.6 | quote, very, very bad behavior. Trump also went back to a familiar talking point, his war against |
| 0:53.3 | CNN. Trump said, I think what CNN did |

| 1:01.8 | dishonest way. He also touched on NBC, saying that they are equally as bad, despite the fact I made |
| 1:08.8 | them a fortune with the apprentice, but they forgot that. Trump also |
| 1:12.7 | talked about North Korea, saying, we'll see what happens. I have some pretty severe things that we are |
| 1:18.4 | thinking about. He also discussed Russian interference in the 2016 election, saying he thinks it was |
| 1:22.6 | Russia, but it could have been other people or countries as well. Trump likened his uncertainty |
| 1:26.7 | about who meddled in the |
| 1:27.6 | election to the false intelligence about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq. Trump also said the U.S. |
| 1:31.8 | would, quote, continue to work with Poland militarily to counter Russia's influence in the region, |
| 1:36.2 | but the two presidents did not discuss guarantees. There are up to 5,000 troops in Poland, Trump said. |
| 1:41.3 | Trump is speaking at Krasinski Square around 7.15 a.m. DC time. He'll then |
| 1:46.9 | leave for Hamburg for the G20 summit. Trump is meeting with German Chancellor Angela Merkel at noon. |
