June 30, 2017: Hour 1

In hour one of Here & Now's June 30, 2017 full broadcast, NPR's Ron Elving and CNN's Juana Summers join us to discuss the week in politics. Also, the Blackberry Festival kicks off Friday in McLoud, Oklahoma, a town that President Harry Truman once called the "blackberry capital of the world." But in recent decades, the blackberry boom has subsided. And New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo declared a state of emergency Thursday for the New York City subway system, which is in serious need of repairs. We hear more about what the move means for frustrated riders.
