Gracearchy with Jim Babka

What happens when people who reject Libertarian Party principles decide they want its ballot access? Is the meaning of libertarianism itself at stake? A conspiracy of major influencers and politicians is organizing a party takeover. They disagree with the platform, want current members chased off, and plan to rename, rebrand, and redirect the LP toward “class struggle” politics. Jim names names, p...

Nikole Hannah-Jones, who is degreed and able to afford better, chose to send her daughter to underperforming city public schools in New York. She made this decision based on "the collective good and not just our individual advantage." Now, Nikole Hannah-Jones' daughter gives Mom an F. Ms. Hannah-Jones is the author of a piece in The New York Times, "In Fighting for Every Black Child, Did I Betray...

It's been a year since 9/10/25. Charlie Kirk. Only here will you hear a discussion of how national politics and Trump Admin decisions could've been different, if Kirk was still here. Maybe, just maybe, he was "the restrainer." ***SUBSCRIBE to the channel and tell us you did so, in the Comments.*** REFERENCES IG41 Charlie Kirk, Grace for the Moment - https://youtube.com/live/Z_GKmOZnZdk IG39 Minnes...

Do you need to be a constitutional lawyer to understand the Constitution? Not even close. Jim explains simple rules for constitutional interpretation using the First, Second, Ninth, and Tenth Amendments, plus lessons he learned while taking a case to the U.S. Supreme Court. You’ll see how the Bill of Rights can help clarify constitutional meaning, why modern government creates serious constitution...

This is The Most Innovative Second Amendment Show EVER because it features a defense of the right that's superior to any conservative show we've ever heard, and an earth-shakingly wonderful idea that's more practical than anything you've ever heard on the subject. It's based on an empathetically strong yet accurate definition of the term "arms." This idea is so practical, we end up calling for law...

Is every alleged criminal in the dock a scapegoat? How can you tell when someone actually is a scapegoat? In the immediately previous episode (165), Bill asked Jim if Fauci is a scapegoat. Jim said no, but he also sensed that his reasoning was insufficient to answer Bill's pressing question. What are the timeless standards? This episode IS NOT ABOUT ANY ONE PERSON - not limited to the current head...

New evidence of a lab leak. A named conspiracy: The Spillover Gang. Jim and Bill get to both. Even better, an unscripted conversation lands on something sharper: why politics gets in the way of truth, and why truth is vital. Thousands of other shows chase the phony ethics drama over Fauci's "diary" or debate the legality of his Fifth Amendment plea. This episode does neither. Instead, the Fifth Am...

Bombing campaigns. Boots on the ground. Even nukes. There's no shortage of confident opinions about what Trump should've done differently in Iran. This episode takes the best of those ideas seriously. Not the strawman versions, but one of the strongest ideas out there: airdropping weapons to Iranians so they could rise up and overthrow the regime themselves. It's a clever idea. It's also wrong, an...

As part of a ten year project to achieve Parity with the major parties, Libertarian Party Chair Evan McMahon is pledging to grow the LP to nearly ten times its current size during his term. How will he do it? Will it work? Plus, you'll learn four ways that the LP is already "punching above its weight." Like, why is the GOP so scared of the Libertarians? And, likely unique to this interview, you'll...

Tucker Carlson announces he's left the GOP and he's going to help launch a third party. Well, it's no secret that Tucker has been eyeing a presidential run for months. *Almost certainly, Tucker Carlson doesn't understand the rigged rules that practically ban third parties from competing! Even the political media are ignorant of the rules and barriers.* But if Tucker watches this episode, he'll lea...

The title was ironic: "Why can't the #libertarianparty get it right? #davesmith explains." As gracefully as possible, Jim Babka lays out the historical reasons why it's ironic. This is the Liam McCollum show we're responding to - https://youtu.be/SH_D95dsoJ8 NOTES EP130: Wish Dave Smith Was A Libertarian On Immigration - https://youtu.be/tANBs1_n3nE EP88: René Girard: The Founding of Religion and...

This one is audio-only, taken from Jim Babka's appearance on The Gary Nolan Show, Thursday May 21. Jim had a secret he wouldn't share until he was on air. And Jim's review of Tom Massie's primary loss includes a fact that everyone overlooks. Turns out, there's a very positive half-loaf analysis to be had - as in, "How strong a candidate is Massie for a 2028 Libertarian presidential run?" On top of...

Did Libertarian Party national Chair Steven Nekhaila and Vice Chair Paul Darr call Jim Babka for a crucial LP history lesson? Did they take extraordinary action after that call? Who are these men, what makes them tick? And what will happen next, given that they're moving on from their current positions? NOTES I will be attending the national convention in Grand Rapids Michigan over Memorial Day we...

You've heard of an October Surprise. Now, Tom Massie is the victim of a May Surprise - because his primary election is next Tuesday. And you heard Jim Babka predict that this smear campaign would happen, back in December (see link below). Jim explains the fake attack. But the BIGGER QUESTION involves grief. Massie's opponents have continued to hit him where it hurts - the death of his wife. And th...

Is the David Morens indictment science vs. politics, or even political retaliation? This government scientist has been indicted for allegedly conspiring to suppress investigation into the Covid lab leak. Meanwhile, passengers disembarked a ship in Spain after Hantavirus exposures, and we recorded this episode the next day (May 11) because this leaves us in uncomfortable wonder: Are we still vulner...

There are the obvious reasons it's wrong, and then... There is the overlooked reason. Besides that, it's contrary to a No Kings ethic, not to mention the Zero Aggression Principle and Human Respect. Maybe, when you believe the ruler's heart is rotten and his actions stink, instead of violence, there's a role for a higher power. With that, there's an action that promotes peace in the heart and only...

You will be wiser after listening to this evergreen episode that's inspired by current events. In fact, we recorded these five lessons on March 10, 2026, just under six weeks into the Iran War, and we'd CHALLENGE YOU to schedule on your calendar a re-listening in three and (again) ten years from now. If you believe this time is different, that the current war brings peace, then that's when these H...

A Gracearchy would remove the power for one man or a small handful of persons to collectively initiate a war. In the wake of two bizarre and potentially horrifying social media posts by the President, we consider Senator Chris Murphy's suggestion that it's time for the 25th Amendment. As justified as it may be, Jim explains why that won't be invoked, and then he does something you'll only hear on...

Scared of Muslims = Doubt in America. What actually radicalizes people? And what quietly and efficiently does the opposite -- bringing people toward openness and freedom? Indeed, there’s new, powerful evidence of Muslim assimilation… and once we reveal it to you, you won’t be able to unsee it. Risk changing your mind by tuning in! NOTES EP121: Daryl Davis Pt 1, Biography of his work - https://yout...

Did you know that progressives are giving money to Tom Massie? Do you know that he's not getting AIPAC money? Does this mean that Massie is misleading you about his libertarian brand? Is he actually a member of The Squad? Well... Followers of Gracearchy with Jim Babka knew attacks were coming. This Ken Blackwell attack is the latest. And every single one of the questions above are based on premise...

Ammon Bundy was famous in 2014, with his father and other rancher families, standing up to the federal government in a militia-style way. If anyone should be on Team MAGA, it should be Ammon, right? But unlike so many MAGA types, Ammon was morally serious. He's written a manifesto that makes a human case for free immigration. We discuss it in the show, and we link to it below. This document is bas...

"I'm all for immigration, just follow the legal process." Nearly everyone who says something like that is put to the test by this short video. It's the story of a person who was here legally, with a career of significant responsibility, and who took the procedural steps. Handcuffed, for no reason. And then? Well, tune-in to learn the story of Maria de Jesus Estrada Juarez. And anyone who thinks, "...

Most people don't understand why the Epstein case is important. They're hung up on partisanship - the impacts on Trump & the Republicans or Clinton & the Democrats. But if YOU tune-in, you'll learn things few people understand. Within 90 seconds of tuning-in, you'll hear the list of five items.  If you stick around, you'll get two bonus insights, one of which includes a hilarious heuristic. Origin...
