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."

Do you need to be a constitutional lawyer to understand the Constitution? Not even close.

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 lawyers to advance it. And you know you're on solid ground when you can draw on Harriet Tubman, Lysander Spooner, and Frederick Douglass. They help us demonstrate how the Second Amendment is a truly social justice idea.

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 headline. It's timeless. You'll be able to repeatedly apply it to future social conflicts. Oh, and Bill catches Jim off-guard. Jim learns something new, right in front of you! You'll learn things too, if you tune in.

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 Amendment gets a spiritual read, not a legal one — and the real time goes to new evidence, and what it will actually take to achieve "truth and reconciliation."

Bombing campaigns. Boots on the ground. Even nukes. There's no shortage of confident opinions about what Trump should've done differently in Iran.

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 learn how Evan is already bringing Grace to the Party.

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 learn and even discover novel strategies about how to execute his plan. You too can learn things hardly anyone gets about third party campaigns. This episode is packed with insight!

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 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 that, Jim explains why people were willing to imbibe lies about Massie - in other words, the real Steelman reason that the MAGA base is still so loyal to Trump. You'll want to hear it all in this brief episode.
