Gracearchy with Jim Babka

Everybody gets hurt. Losing the race leads to grief. If you play the electoral game, if you join a partisan side, your grief has happened, is happening, or it will happen. Elections are NOT the way to solve social problems! How can we break free from the cult of politics? Bill Protzmann is your moderator.

No one has correctly described the Late, Great Trump Undercount. The most popular explanation is comical - it's a laugh-out-loud moment in this episode. As Jim Babka explains, the polling business includes a built-in fuzziness, so that the polls were "technically" accurate. So why is it that the pollsters, the media, and millions of Americans were caught off-guard as Trump clinched unexpected vict...

Our vote counting process is bad. Unnecessary complications have created unnecessary social consequences. It wasn't always this way! Jim explains how it was better in every voters lifetime.

Straw donors is one aspect of the Mayor Eric Adams indictment. Jim explains why this campaign finance regulation is both a byproduct of prohibition and fails to address any root problem.

Some wild and improbable conspiracy theories are floating around. Ironically, there are now libertarians, known for their mistrust of the State, who are now shaming others for their skepticism! But does the expansion of conspiracy theories tell us something more about our social environment? And should we automatically reject these "theories?" From the shadowy revelations of the Church Committee t...

"The Apprentice," a movie about Trump's rise in the 1970s and 1980s under Roy Cohn's tutelage, opens in theaters this weekend. Simultaneously, virtually all the people buying tickets to this flick, would, if surveyed, declare that Citizens United was an immoral and catastrophic Supreme Court decision that destroyed democracy. Here's the problem: Donald Trump could've blocked this movie's release b...

Drunk driving? Operating a vehicle after some drinks? It's an emotional topic. It turns out, Jim has skin in the game! If you think your head will explode from rage at what he's saying here, stay till the end. And if you cannot bear to listen, then skip to minute 28. But you really should follow this mind-expanding episode all the way through because, on top of Jim's story... It turns out that med...

A Twitter account manager misrepresents libertarianism and the Libertarian Party membership pledge. His Tweet undermines the goal and is anti-grace. We would prefer to ignore this provocation and hope it goes away. But for us, this is too close to home. We decided this must be opposed. However... Alleged State employees help him prove one of his points. Does he have a constitutional defense for hi...

Trump-Haters vs Trump's Haters. Is there a way out of the escalating rivalry? Topics quickly covered include...

Breaking: A second Secret Service event involving Donald Trump in three months. Let's review. Democrats have aimed at Republican nominee twice, but no Republicans have shot at the Democrats. That must mean we should ban Democrats from gun ownership, right? Let's take 8 minutes and discuss "collective judgmentalism." Bill Protzmann is your moderator.

Joe Emerson was a pilot suffering grief. His self-medication with mushrooms spiraled into a near-catastrophe aboard a flight. Believing he was breaking free from an unbearable reality, Emerson endangered 83 lives by tampering with aircraft safety mechanisms. He's facing more than 80 criminal charges. But... Joe is using his story to reveal the tough choices a pilot must make -- because seeking hel...

IS THERE A BETTER ALTERNATIVE THAN LEGALIZATION? Do you know why voluntaryism provides better regulation than the State? Do you understand why so few libertarians can explain that? This episode covers celebrity drug cases like Matthew Perry's overdose, the FDA's stance on MDMA, the influence of Big Pharma, and how government coercion is killing veterans. Plus, even though Jim is a long-time libert...

Where has Gracearchy been? Join us for just four minutes to hear a "Tale of Two Floods." A bad flood explains why we haven't had a new episode in a month and why I'm not sitting in my normal studio. The other "flood" is good, as in a great future for Gracearchy. Flood is the right word in both cases, and the good news should flood fans of our show with joy! Bill Protzmann is your moderator. ZERO A...

BREAKING NEWS: RFK has effectively quit the presidential race. And I called it - that is, in an October 2023 "Instant Grace" I suggested that he was effectively quitting (see below). Who is the new 3rd candidate in this race? #ChaseOliver, the Libertarian nominee, joins me for a quick IN PERSON, on the spot interview.

The alleged Trump shooter, Thomas Crooks, thought that Lee Oswald was the Lone Gunmen. Where would he get such an idea? Jefferson Morley, with JFK Facts, notes that "When Gerald Posner and the New York Times reference JFK, they actually encourage baseless Trump conspiracy theories." Our own Jim Babka reviewed Posner's recent column in the New York Times, and he thinks that the problem might even b...

Uncover the unsettling reality of the Conflict Machine in this episode of Gracearchy with Jim Babka. Following the recent assassination attempt on Donald Trump, we delve into the philosophies of Thomas Hobbes and Carl Schmitt to expose how their ideas perpetuate cycles of fear leading to violence. This powerful discussion not only critiques these enduring influences but also advocates for the prin...

On June 28, the Supreme Court handed down its most significant decision since Dobbs. Loper Bright Enterprises v Raimondo ended a 40 year-old, court-created doctrine "Chevron deference." Around the same time and on top of that, there were two other decisions both trimming the vast powers of the administrative state. And by listening to just this one episode, you'll likely know more about these SCOT...

Since at least 1988, televised presidential debates have been manipulated to discriminate against certain candidates. In this episode, we reveal the way Chase Oliver and Bobby Kennedy legally qualify, and the way that Donald Trump and Joe Biden do not qualify for CNN's June 27 match-up. We also open and expose the playbook used by the members of the Conflict Machine (political industrial complex)...

Harry Browne used to say, "Government doesn't work." Here, in Instant Grace 15, we look at the failure of the FDA. We count the ways that government actors have failed in the Juul case. Given the subject, we don't expect this intallment to carry far. We're talking about a taboo subject in the keyword, algorithm world. But the lessons here are timeless, and our best fans will find this material use...

In this episode, we provide you with FOUR reasons that both Hunter Biden and Donald Trump are innocent. We also reveal both a Republican and a Democrat hypocrisy in Hunter Biden's case. What are the implications of this case to you and to our future? Must there be escalation? We give both sides a politically powerful strategy that benefits them first, yet also gets us out of this mess. Chapters 0:...
