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.

Ian Freeman, a voluntaryist and Bitcoin distributor, was prosecuted for his political views, lied about by the Justice Department, and unjustly convicted based on flimsy, frame-up charges by the IRS. In July, 2023, a couple of weeks before his appeal was denied, we sat down to talk about both Ian as a person and his criminal case with his Free Talk Live partner, Mark Edge. With Mark's help, we walk through the case, especially the convictions. Now, it's time to act - FreeIanNow.org This episode was originally recorded in July, 2025.

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. They also explore... • Why political force is always violence • The danger of censorship, overreaction, and symbolic gestures • How Kirk both enabled coercion and invited conversation • What it means to truly stay grounded and act with grace NOTES Minnesota Assassinations: Day One Insights, Instant Grace 39 https://youtu.be/K4V2NckwfNU Charlie Kirk, Grace for the Moment, https://youtube.com/live/Z_GKmOZnZdk Daryl Davis Pt 1, Biography of his work, EP121 https://youtu.be/Yu-j3zvD2o8 Daryl Davis Pt 2, Fighting Racism with Grace, EP122 https://youtu.be/ceL600_kQi0 Why ICE is an Illegal Agency, EP134 https://youtu.be/j8hTJsP19bw Why Mayor Karen Bass Cannot Stop ICE, EP135 https://youtu.be/VU3sr-Wnhco Harry Reid tells Jan Helfeld, "Taxes are voluntary" - https://youtu.be/H6q0slMhDw8 MSNBC employee fired https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/sep/11/msnbc-fires-matthew-dowd-charlie-kirk-shooting René Girard: The Founding of Religion and State, EP88 https://youtu.be/dL8Err6K778 Girard's Scapegoat on Good Friday 2025, EP126 https://youtu.be/bHdCX-S2tRI Mimetic Mirror: Jerry Bowyer Explores Jesus's Eye Parable, EP 94 https://youtu.be/i_zaPoAx8co Rene Girard And Mimetic Desire, EP7 https://youtu.be/8yvv-3WYKIs CHAPTERS 0:00 Theme 0:25 Condolences 2:07 Mere words don't justify violence 4:03 Consistent not partisan response 5:19 A pledge not to initiate force 6:25 When people stop talking 11:09 Lemonade Charlie 17:17 Charlie advocated for government violence 19:11 Lack of patience is anti-truth 21:31 No Censorship or Overreaction 27:03 Government is force, by nature violent 31:32 Charlie says a bad thing, and you... 34:49 Don't become what you fight 37:29 Don't empower psychopathic responses 40:22 Flag iconolatry vs doing something 42:17 We are our security, government is bad at it 45:41 Don't let politicians take away video 47:31 Is social media a cancer? 51:03 How to stay grounded in crisis 53:08 State is violence not the solution 54:01 More lemonade CREDITS Bill Protzmann is your moderator.

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.

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.

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.

Why do people keep calling Jim Babka about “One Big Beautiful Bill?" Because they know that the co-author of the Read the Bills Act and One Subject at a Time Act could explain why it's anything but beautiful. Jim reacts to Vice President J.D. Vance’s candid comments on how Congress really works including why bills are unread, rules are skipped, and lawmakers vote on legislation they don’t understand. You'll hear how massive omnibus bills are packed with hidden agendas. And you'll get brilliant solutions to these problems! [**Jim and Bill had to do bad, verbal impressions of Theo Von and V.P.

ICE Riots in LA are happening because people don't know and don't live by the answers to these questions. What is the supreme law of the U.S.? How are the powers of the federal government limited? What one thing is needed before an arrest can occur? 4. Do you know why immigrants are not criminals? 5. Do you know how old ICE is and why it was created? Here, Jim Babka answers and even elaborates on each of these questions. And he does that all in about six minutes! Bill Protzmann is your moderator.

You didn’t hear about a second JFK hearing (in the U.S. House) because the media ignored it, but what was revealed should shake your faith in government. Jim Babka reveals four critical revelations. Taken together, they expose how federal agencies conspired to protect themselves from scrutiny. From missing documents and autopsy materials to the CIA’s shadowy George Joannides and firsthand testimony from a House investigator, this hearing shows that key truths remain buried. You’ll also hear a new, eyewitness challenge to the magic bullet theory - and the intimidation tactics likely used to suppress his insight.

Dave Smith is a rising star, and he’s usually right. But in a recent debate with Alex Nowrasteh, his case for immigration restrictions raises big questions about what it really means to be a voluntaryist. In this episode, Jim Babka explores where property rights analysis usually works, and where it breaks down. He also **corrects himself!** on a point he made in a recent episode, and he explains why he now sees it differently. Along the way, you’ll hear Dave’s best argument, Alex’s most powerful line, and a fresh perspective on what principled liberty looks like. REFERENCES It was not episode 2, as said in the show.

President Trump is being accused of quid pro quo corruption. Since we're supposed to hate him, no one asks, "Who is the victim here?" Armed with that knowledge, my response is... "You had me at 'tax cheat pardon.'" Here's a unique and rooted take you won't get anywhere else.
