| 0:00.0 | Good morning. I'm Anna Palmer and welcome to your Politico Playbook Audio Briefing, sponsored by J.P. Morgan Chase and Company. |
| 0:07.4 | And I'm Jake Sherman. Happy First Day of May. Republicans are starting off the week on a good note. |
| 0:11.6 | Congress reached a deal to fund government through the end of the year, staving off a potentially dramatic few weeks and more talk of a shutdown. |
| 0:18.1 | House Republicans look poised to vote on their health care bill before they |
| 0:20.8 | head out of town Thursday for a one-week recess. While Republicans are projecting confidence on their |
| 0:25.2 | health care bill, it's unclear if they've convinced enough moderates to support the package. If they |

| 1:11.6 | Mexico border. |
| 1:15.7 | So what does this really mean? The bill is likely to fly through Congress, which will ratchet up pressure on Senate Republicans to get an Obamacare repeal package through. |
| 1:20.1 | The New York Times is a piece this morning on how President Trump's call with Philippine |
| 1:23.4 | President Rodrigo Duarte stunned both AIDS and critics. The Times reports that the State Department |
| 1:28.0 | and National Security Council are expected to raise objections internally over Trump's very |
| 1:32.2 | friendly conversation with the controversial leader. We've got another House Republican retirement. |
