| 0:00.0 | Good Friday morning. I'm Jake Sherman and this is your political playbook audio briefing, sponsored by United Health Group. Well, where do we start? H.R. McMaster was fired yesterday and replaced by John Bolton, who has favored a preemptive war with North Korea and overthrowing the government of Iran. Just this month alone, Trump has fired a secretary of state, replaced him with his CIA director, is now looking |
| 0:21.5 | to replace the CIA director, and has shuffled his legal team. A playboy bottle last night told |
| 0:25.7 | Anderson Cooper on CNN that Trump offered her money after sex. She refused and he said he loved her. |
| 0:32.3 | HR McMaster, meanwhile, got an impromptu standing ovation last night when Jim Bush recognized him at a U.S. |
| 0:38.6 | Saudi gala at Mellon Auditorium. |
| 0:40.9 | By the way, if you're a Democrat running in a swing district, you could see the ad now. |
| 0:45.4 | The government is in chaos, and I will be a check on President Trump. |

| 0:59.4 | and Jim Rish of Idaho to get them to vote yes. We know Rand Paul is never happy with spending |
| 1:04.8 | bills like this and he has a point. The 2,300 page bill was revealed about 24 hours before the vote. |
| 1:12.3 | But we didn't know Jim Rish would have a problem with it. |
| 1:14.6 | Get this. |

| 1:20.9 | He might have known if he had more time to read the bill. |
| 1:23.6 | Congress has now gone for two weeks. |
