Hello listeners and welcome to another edition of

Politico's nerd cast I'm Scott Bland your host

this week on nerd cast we're gonna talk hurricanes and hurricane politics

as Florence arrives Donald Trump can't talk hurricanes and hurricane politics.

As Florence arrives, Donald Trump can't resist

pouring more fuel on his feud with Puerto Rico

over how the administration handled Hurricane Maria

there last year.

Plus, what people who want to run for president

might have learned from the primaries in 2018.

We're going to have a nice political conversation ahead

about big picture what we learned at the 2018 primaries

wrap up and look ahead a little bit to the next primary contest already peeking

around the corner even before the 2018 general elections.

A reminder to our listeners before we get started to subscribe to the nerd cast, rate us and write a review.

And one more note before we begin we are taping this a little bit before noon eastern on Thursday, September 13th,

so it's all up to date as of then.

No, Andrew Cuomo, Cynthia Nixon primary results, though.

Arriving a little bit too late for us this week.

All right, let's get started.

I want to welcome our guests here with me in the studio.

We have Charlie Mathesians, senior politics editor.
