As U2 sold out arenas and stadiums around the globe, Bono held forth on a range of social causes, becoming “the definitive rock star of the modern era,” as Kelefa Sanneh, the guest host of this episode, puts it. Bono talked to David Remnick about Bono’s new memoir, “Surrender,” which deals with the early loss of his mother, finding religion in music, and navigating the Troubles as a member of a rock band from Dublin. And Sanneh speaks with Francis Suarez, the mayor of Miami, about whether a moderate can have a future in today’s G.O.P. Upbeat and charismatic, Suarez has been mentioned as a potential Republican Presidential candidate.
