Gracearchy with Jim Babka

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, "...

First, Hong Kong dissident Jimmy Lai has been sentenced. Now, the real work to get him out of prison begins. Second, the Chinese Communist Party attacks Gracearchy. Yes, again! We'll show their latest move. NOTES Episodes of Gracearchy are available on many platforms. YouTube links provided here.

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...

Every time President Trump says something outrageous, his opposition takes the bait. He gets stronger. It turns out that there's a theory that describes this! This episode explores how the bait-and-bait-taking dynamic has corrupted both sides of the aisle, turning politics into a codependent spectacle. Jim Babka breaks down the failed strategy of “resistance,” provides a Girardian lens on the conf...

We get it, Jim. You're a libertarian, blah, blah, blah. But now immigrants are here, and ICE is in town. How would you fix this current immigration mess? Oh, and leave your libertarianism out of it. CREDITS Bill Protzmann is your moderator. ZERO AGGRESSION PROJECT - https://zeroaggressionproject.org/ - is our sponsor. But the views expressed are exclusively those of the participants, and not neces...

Anti-ICE protesters storm a worship service because an ICE official is also one of the pastors. Don Lemon live streams it. We reveal the legal, moral, and spiritual stakes. Along the way, Jim Babka shares his unique experience with Freedom of the Press at the Supreme Court, and his experience having someone maliciously interrupt a service while he was an "accidental pastor." We explain and defend...

With a commitment to context, fairness, and grace, we do a reaction video to Nick Freitas’s take on the Minneapolis-ICE shooting of Renee Good. We acknowledge Freitas’s experience and his concern about municipal riots. But we confront a troubling pattern: empathy flows toward institutions and agents of the State, while the person killed fades into an ideological abstraction called “The Left.” The...

Renee Good is shot and killed by an ICE agent in Minneapolis. Back in 1963, Abraham Zapruder filmed the Kennedy assassination. It is still endlessly analyzed. We provide four simultaneous angles of Good's vehicle, consider the question of whether or not the shooting is justified, and then... We go beyond the camera to the realm of causes and effects, the role of empathy, and sweeping solutions - a...

You're being invited to a conspiracy. Civil disobedience is a tradition for free people resisting crimes by unaccountable State actors. Jimmy Lai and millions (literally) of Hong Kongers used protests and vigils to call attention to the deeds of the Chinese Communist Party. Unfortunately, Jimmy was imprisoned in 2020, and in December 2025 he was finally convicted under the National Security Law -...

It's already happening! We told you, in Episode 146, the attacks on Tom Massie and Rand Paul were going to be epic as we approach the Kentucky primary in May. BTW, this installment was recorded December 26, 2025 but embargoed until January 5 due to the holidays. Jim predicted regime change was coming.

Rob Reiner is most remembered for iconic films that defined genres, including the beloved fantasy-comedy The Princess Bride, the groundbreaking romantic comedy When Harry Met Sally..., the hilarious mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap, the poignant coming-of-age drama Stand By Me, the thrilling Stephen King adaptation Misery, and the powerful courtroom drama A Few Good Men, showcasing his versatility...

Bill tells Jim about a show that's been removed from the "Tube of You." Then, they take you "behind the scenes" about how difficult it is to run a show on that platform. But if there's that much friction, then why do they do it? Jim explains why they believed they should, why they might be making real changes, and why this state of affairs is unlikely to last.
