Hello listeners I'm Scott Bland, your host, welcome to Politico's nerdcast.

This week on Nurdcast, President Trump signs an executive order that he says will stop children from being separated from their families when they cross illegally into the US.

But there's a long way to go in this story.

And of course, the policy started with President Trump himself,

so we will dig into that.

Plus, why a lot of Democrats running for the House this fall are coming out and saying they

won't support Nancy Pelosi for Speaker if the party takes back the House.

A reminder to our listeners to subscribe to the nerd cast,

rate us and write a review, and stay tuned for the end of the show

for a contribution from one of the nerd cast's biggest fans.

One more note before we begin,

we are taping this a little bit before noon eastern on Thursday, June 21st, so it's all up to date as of then.

Okay, let's get started.

I want to welcome our guest, senior editor Charlie Matessian.

Thanks for being here.

Hey Scott.

We've got White House reporter Nancy Cook back in the studio.

Nancy, we've missed you.

I know, I missed you guys.

It's so nice to be back here.

It's good to have you back.

And on the phone from Congress, we have Alana Shore who covers Congress for Politico.
