Jess Phoenix is running for Congress in California’s 25th District. Jess is a scientist, specifically a volcanologist. Baruch and Jess discuss Jess’ positions and the reasons she’s running for office.

Jess and Baruch discuss war, agriculture, vaccines, and more.

Music by: Katie Wise & Bhakti Explosion, The Bears, Gram Parsons & The Fallen Angels, Jesse Colin Young, George Harrison, Eagles, and Roberta Flack.
