DNC First Speeches Reactions; CM Menchaca on Sunset Park & Industry CIty; Avoiding a Second Wave

On today's show:

• Asma Khalid, political correspondent for NPR and co-host of The NPR Politics Podcast, recaps the first night of the Democratic National Convention, and previews what's ahead.
• New York City Council Member Carlos Menchaca (D-38, Sunset Park, Red Hook, Greenwood Heights, and portions of Borough Park, Dyker Heights and Windsor Terrace) talks about the uptick in COVID-19 cases in his district, and Industry City's controversial proposed rezoning of the waterfront in the same neighborhood.
• Once America's COVID-19 hot spot, New York has succeeded in reducing the number of new cases and deaths, but health experts worry that complacency and out-of-state travel could lead to an uptick in cases.  Dr. Irwin Redlener, professor of pediatrics and director of the National Center for Disaster Preparedness at Columbia University, co-founder of the Children's Health Fund and the author of The Future of Us: What the Dreams of Children Mean for Twenty-First-Century America (Columbia University Press, 2017), talks about whether New Yorkers should expect a second wave, and how to stay prepared.
