This week, Jamil Smith, Senior Writer at Rolling Stone for national affairs and culture and an Emmy winner, joins the show to discuss his piece "Another Reason We Can’t Breathe" and the importance of fighting environmental racism during the Biden Administration. We discuss the president-elect's plan, the role of Vice President-elect Kamala Harris, and how experience with frontline communities should be prioritized when choosing leadership.

Co-hosts Ty Benefiel and Brock Benefiel also discuss Ron Klain's selection as chief of staff and drilling in the Arctic National Wildlife Refuge.
