0:00.0	Good morning. I'm Playbook editor Mike DeBonis. It's Monday, November 13th. Here's what's driving the day.
0:09.8	We're waking up this morning to a smaller Republican presidential field. South Carolina
0:14.0	Senator Tim Scott announced last night he is suspending his campaign. He made the announcement
0:18.7	on the Fox News show hosted by his old buddy and former
0:21.8	house colleague Trey Gowdy, where he said voters, quote, have been really clear that they're telling me

1:16.5	Japan to chair his campaign, to enlisting Bill and Hillary Clinton to search for peace in the
1:21.1	Middle East, to finding a way to literally talk about abortion every day until the election.
1:26.2	The whole thing is well worth a read.
1:27.9	There's a lot more going on this week, including the big APEC summit in San Francisco, where
1:31.9	Biden is expected to meet Wednesday with Chinese President Xi Jinping. But the big news event
1:37.3	that's driving this week is yet another government shutdown deadline. And here now to walk us
