Congressman Salud Carbajal on the state of our democracy, Fr. Ian travels to Guadalupe for locally-made sausages, and a peace activist shares their story of how they got banned from Israel for 99 years

Congressman Salud Carbajal speaks with KCBX’s News Director Monica Lopez and KCBX reporter Gabriela Fernandez about the current administration’s policies and actions and what resonated with him at the Town Hall meeting that he co-hosted with Senator Adam Schiff at Cuesta College on April 22nd. For Playing with Food, KCBX's Fr. Ian Delinger travels to Guadalupe to ask, "What's in a sausage?" He talks to Ernesto Valle, the owner of Lobo Butcher, to find out just how pure, local, and fresh sausages can be. Then, Rosie Bultman, from UC Santa Barbara's student-run radio station KCSB, interviews Alex, an activist who went to the West Bank as part of their work with the International Solidarity Movement. They did not disclose their last name for security reasons. They were bearing witness to Israeli settler violence when they were arrested and then deported from Israel. They have been banned from returning for 99 years. They talk about their experience living there and why the everyday act of existence is an act of resistance.
