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 - essentially, an accusation of sedition. This Hong Kong "law" is so sweeping that YOU are violating it if you share this episode with others, even though you don't live in Hong Kong or China. Watch. Learn. Then...

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 across comedy, fantasy, and drama. The media remembered Rob Reiner for iconic films: The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally, This Is Spinal Tap, Stand By Me, and A Few Good Men, and more films you'd recognize.

Jim received this question from Sebastián in Colombia... "I'm contacting you because I'm conducting research that seeks to reconcile gun liberalization with social peace, and I believe the key lies precisely in the principles of Human Respect. The idea is that a truly peaceful society is not one that cannot use violence, but one that, having the lethal means to do so, chooses not to, out of profound respect for others. I'd like to ask you: Do you think Human Respect can be interpreted as the necessary virtue for an armed society to function? My argument is that, under this principle, weapons cease to be tools of coercion and become symbols of self-restraint and mutual trust. The ultimate proof that we have replaced force with persuasion and voluntary respect. Do you think it's viable that this intersection exists where the capacity for self-defense reinforces human dignity rather than destroying it?" Jim decided to answer this question right in front of you! This will likely sound different than any pro-gun argument you've heard. NOTES Current events may seem to coincide, but this episode was recorded Friday, December 5. The Natural Principle of Human Respect is... Human happiness, harmony, and prosperity will always decrease as persons experience the initiation of violence, or the theft of their property through force or fraud. The late-Gary North wrote, "I do suggest that there is a relationship between the ownership of firearms and the assertion of political sovereignty. I do insist that the right to keep and bear arms is a symbolic affirmation of the ultimate political sovereignty of individual citizens over the central government." https://www.garynorth.com/public/10459.cfm CHAPTERS 0:00 Theme 0:12 Peace not necessarily Pacifism 2:20 We get a question 4:16 Social peace through individual gun owners 8:12 Everyone wants armed people in society 9:59 Intersection with Philosophy of Human Respect 13:17 Human Respect over Rights 17:57 Learning respect in martial arts 21:11 The Warrior in a Garden 23:02 Reasons for gun ownership 23:49 The virtue of protection 25:50 Jim's choice to be a sheep dog 32:03 The armed man's path to a peaceful spirit 36:44 Where you cannot argue self-defense 37:48 More on the journey to a peaceful spirit 42:41 Defense ability is tied to human dignity 45:50 Peace officers instead of law enforcement 49:58 Private security won't act like cops CREDITS Bill Protzmann is your moderator.

Donald Trump proposes 50-year mortgages. Which sounds more liberating: Debt free or 50 years as a bank serf? Jim reveals three simple strategies that helped him pay off his own home ahead of his goal of 11 years. None of these methods requires petitioning a politician to fix anything. Instead, they let you reclaim control: No mortgage. No bank payment. More freedom. For twenty-somethings who fear they’ll never own a home, and for anyone feeling trapped by an interest-first system, this episode shows a path to more liberty, right now, in the real world.

Christians should be able to defend slavery? Pastor Joshua Haymes said that on his podcast. It was clipped and shared, sparking outrage. Might it be the case that Haymes is being consistent with a hermeneutic many evangelicals already share? Jim Babka explains why so many believers react emotionally but struggle to explain why. In this episode, you’ll discover a better hermeneutic. You'll also learn why grace is essential and why reaching people before they tie their identity to hate matters.

Here, we hold up the mirror on the Collective Blame Game. Partisan actors are stoking violence. Jim covers the rules of the blame game, and then reveals the underlying scapegoat mechanism. The churches, alleged purveyors of the Gospel, are instead in the blame game, joined by their violent god. Before long, we may expect partisan paramilitaries too. The way out? First, personhood. Second, recognition of the actual persecutor. Discover the role of the "prophetic witness," and why, long term, we need more libertarians.

On Sept 8, 2025., Angela McArdle, former chair of the Libertarian Party, sent out a tweet that reads, in part, "The American libertarian movement is full of intellectual giants but it is lacking spiritually... Christ's sacrifice showed us the significance of the individual... The spiritual void in American libertarianism needs to be filled if we want God to bless our movement." Obviously, this is a right up our alley. Not only do we read Angela's post on X very closely, but also we cover the real source of your security, what freedom actually entails, why Christ's Kingdom is free, why the pastor and the pornographer can be friends at a libertarian meeting, and even the role of this former Chair and the caucus she presently leads in the party's present situation.

Jimmy Kimmel made a joke after Charlie Kirk's assassination. His critics ignored the context. Then, his show was suspended; it might even be canceled. Can we say that the Right’s rush to punish Kimmel echoed the very cancel culture they claim to oppose? In this episode, Jim Babka and Bill Protzmann *graciously* contextualize and steelman, and discuss coerced apologies, media manipulation, and the government’s role in silencing dissent. You’ll hear why the FCC’s “public interest” standard is undesirable, and how grace, not outrage, offers a better path forward.

Charlie Kirk’s assassination shocked the nation. But how should we respond? In this episode, Jim Babka and Bill Protzmann offer a uniquely voluntaryist and grace-based analysis. They reflect on how power seduces partisans into mirroring the very monsters they oppose.

THIS IS PART 2. EP137 was Part 1. Speaker Johnson may believe he’s accelerating the end times—but is he misreading Revelation?What if Revelation isn’t about fire, fury, and war—but about grace and liberty? In this PART 2, Jim Babka unpacks a vision of the Kingdom that dismantles Statism, reveals the roots of modern misreadings, and explains how libertarian principles align with the Gospel’s deepest truths.

THIS IS PART 1 of 2. A biblical breeding program is underway in Israel - and it appears Speaker Mike Johnson is helping it. This isn’t fiction. It’s part of a deeply held belief system impacting real decisions in Washington. Indeed, it doesn't end with Johnson; a powerful U.S. Senator and the Ambassador to Israel share similar views, and they both admit it impacts how they carry out U.S. policy. Gracearchy explains how the Red Heifer Prophecy has leapt from Sunday school to steering U.S. foreign policy.

Donald Trump resurrects a dead idea: Restrict free trade with tariffs. He suggests, and millions now agree, tariffs good for America. What are these "goods?" What are the various tradeoffs between them? Because there are always tradeoffs! Professional economist, Dave Hebert, answers those questions using Obama's Chinese tire tariffs and Trump's (first term) steel and aluminum tariffs. This conversation is broken into three parts: The economic impacts, the five strategic benefits of tariffs, and whether Donald Trump is using a sound negotiating strategy. Take notes. Tell your friends. They'll think you're a professional expert on tariffs after you're done listening to this episode.

You're offended by the actions of a politician you don't like. If only you had a tool to stop it? Turns out, there is something but... You repudiated that tool! You said it was racist. And invoking it now might undermine some of your other Utopian plans. Mayor Karen Bass takes the stage, wagging her finger at ICE, as they militarily sweep through LA's MacArthur Park like it was Mosul or Kandahar. There's nothing more she can do (or would want to do) because she and her progressive allies have, for decades, neutered the power of local officials -- the power to resist. It always comes back. Jim Babka offers this lesson: "Have empathy for your future self."

ICE doesn't need to be "tweaked" or reformed. It's budget shouldn't merely be cut. It's existence is a problem at the roots, so the fruit will be bad. We turned the mics back on, right after recording an episode. The result is... First, the shortest full episode of Gracearchy with Jim Babka - 14 minutes. Second, a concise yet complete argument about the unconstitutional nature of this agency.
