0:00.0 | Good Tuesday morning, I'm Jake Sherman, and welcome to your Politico Playbook Audio Briefing, sponsored by United Health Group. |
0:06.6 | And I'm Anna Palmer. Our colleagues, Eliana Johnson, Emily Stevenson, and Daniel Lipman have the story of the day on how President Donald Trump has gone rogue on phone security, using a cell phone that isn't equipped with sophisticated security features to shield his communications. |
0:23.1 | He uses another cell phone for Twitter. |
0:25.9 | AIDS wanted him to swap phones monthly, but the president has said it is too inconvenient. |
0:31.5 | One risk they report is that his phones have a camera and microphone that could be at risk of being hacked. |
0:38.3 | Some big news at Politico this morning. The Wall Street Journal broke the story that Politico is |

1:31.2 | for Pelosi for Speaker before Election Day illustrates that he might be a bit busy at OMB and |
1:36.3 | CFPB and not paying attention to the electoral climate. Republicans are not targeting Democrats |
1:41.2 | in any seat in America and at the the moment, instead are trying to hold |
1:44.6 | on to their majority. In fact, giving some Democrats a chance to vote against Pelosi might be good |
1:49.5 | for Democrats. On North Korea, the Washington Post is reporting that South Koreans are blaming |
