Hello,

welcome to Politico's Nurdcast.

I'm your host Scott Bland, thanks for tuning in.

This week on the nerd cast we will discuss the top takeaways from the first big

multi-state primary night in 2018. We previewed that for you last week and we are going to talk

through some of the results. Plus we're going to get into what to watch in the

next round of primaries coming up on May 15th. We've got races coming up in Pennsylvania, Nebraska, and a few other states

that night. Then in our second segment we are going to dissect one of President

Trump's biggest foreign policy weeks on the job.

He scrapped the Iran deal, and in North Korea, three American detainees have been released

just as the summit with Kim Jong-un years.

So we're going to talk a little bit through about what this all means and how these strategies

are diverging and yet intertwined all at the same time.

A reminder to you are Nurdcast listeners to subscribe, rate us and write a review, and stay tuned for the end of the show for a

contribution from one of the Nurd cast's biggest fans.

One more note before we begin, we're taping this a little bit before noon eastern on Thursday May 10th so

it's all up to date as of then. This is especially dangerous when we do foreign

policy segments. I want to welcome our guests for our first segment Charlie

Matessian senior politics editor and

Nurdcast regular. Hello Charlie. Hi Scott. And Steve Shepard, our chief

polling analyst. Steve, thanks for joining us. Always a pleasure. All right, our first

data point, 20%.
