In our second in-person studio episode, JBLC discusses the shocking Supreme Court ruling that allows Customs and Border Patrol agents to waive 4th amendment due process procedures, such as obtaining a search warrant, when it deems a search near the border may be necessary for national security, a quiet return of the Patriot Act surveillance state in the U.S., all for less than the price of a cup of coffee.

JBLC kicks off SEASON 2 with a discussion of the House January 6 Committee hearings, our predictions for its outcomes, and what the coup means for the future of our republic, in a special studio recording in the middle of our JBLC retreat at Lake Tahoe, where we met in-person for the first time, all for less than the price of a cup of coffee.

In our Season 1 Finale, JBLC goes out on an intensely optimistic note with our guest, Dr. Paul Zeitz, an epidemiologist who helped lead the US emergency AIDS relief program in Africa under 2 presidents, ultimately saving 40 million lives. 

Paul relives his own life experiences that drove him to adopt a philosophy of intense optimism in all situations, which gives him the strength to tackle serious world issues. His next challenge: America 2.0, a citizen movement to demand a constitutional convention to build a United States fit for the 21st century. All for less than the price of a cup of coffee.
