Summary

We'd love to hear your thoughts on the podcast. Take the survey here or at wbur.org/survey. Mesa, Arizona, Mayor John Giles — a Republican — is backing Vice President Kamala Harris's presidential campaign. Giles discusses how the Biden-Harris administration has benefitted his city and why he thinks former President Donald Trump has led the GOP toward extremism. And, almost 10,000 miles from Paris, the Olympics surfing semi-finals will take place this weekend in Tahiti. Dashel Pierson, associate editor of Surfer, breaks down the competition. Then, Friday would have been writer and civil rights activist James Baldwin's 100th birthday. NPR's Walter Ray Watson shares remembrances from those who knew Baldwin.
