    Ep 39; Russ Cleveland

    On today’s episode of the Bearded Monkey Podcast, I sat down with Russ Cleveland, a candidate running for a Montana House seat, for a real, respectful, and necessary conversation about leadership, public service, and the direction of Montana. This episode isn’t about sound bites or political theater—it’s about dialogue, accountability, and what it means to serve the people you represent. We talk about Montana values, local governance, personal responsibility, and the importance of civil discourse across the aisle—especially in a time when politics feels more divided than ever. You don’t have to agree on everything to have an honest conversation, and this episode proves that strong beliefs and respectful dialogue can exist at the same time. The Bearded Monkey Podcast is committed to long-form conversations that challenge assumptions, encourage critical thinking, and promote productive discussion between differing viewpoints. Whether you lean left, right, or somewhere in between, this episode highlights why listening matters—and why progress starts with conversation, not cancellation. If you care about Montana politics, local elections, leadership, and the future of our communities, this is an episode worth your time. Strong nations are built when people are willing to talk, disagree respectfully, and still work toward solutions together. 🎙️ Subscribe to the Bearded Monkey Podcast for grounded conversations, real leadership discussions, and unfiltered dialogue that puts people over politics. This episode was a lot of fun and I certainly hope you all enjoy it.

    For Charlie; A tribute to Charlie Kirk

    On Ep. 38 of THE BEARDED MONKEY PODCAST, I host a solo episode and break down some of what is known at this point regarding the assassination of CHARLIE KIRK. A Tribute to Charlie Kirk On September 10th, our country lost Charlie Kirk—a voice who, in just 31 years, left an impact far larger than his age might suggest. His death was sudden, violent, and heartbreaking. But even in grief, there’s a greater truth: Charlie’s life was proof of what conviction, courage, and relentless energy can achieve. From a young age, Charlie believed that ideas matter, and that young people could lead—not someday in the distant future, but now. He founded Turning Point USA while still a teenager, building it from nothing into one of the most influential youth organizations in America. He went from speaking in small classrooms to filling stadiums. He became a household name, not because he was handed power, but because he worked tirelessly to make his voice heard. Charlie wasn’t afraid of controversy, criticism, or standing alone. Whether people agreed with him or not, he represented something rare in our time: someone who truly lived by his convictions, and who poured his short years into building a platform that inspired thousands of others to step up, speak out, and believe their voice mattered. His loss is a reminder of life’s fragility, but it is also a reminder of what’s possible. Charlie showed that even at a young age, you can shake the world if you’re willing to take risks, to speak boldly, and to lead with purpose. If there’s a way forward through this sorrow, it’s to carry that lesson with us. To understand that none of us are promised tomorrow, and the only way to honor his life is to live ours with the same urgency—to pursue what matters, to fight for what we believe, and to inspire others along the way. Charlie Kirk’s story doesn’t end in tragedy. It continues in every person he influenced, in every debate he sparked, in every young leader he inspired to step forward. His legacy is not just in what he built, but in the hope that others will build, too. May we remember him not only with grief, but with gratitude—for showing us that even in a short time, a life lived boldly can echo for generations. Tune in. God Bless. #welcometothefamily beardedmonkeytactical.com @beardedmonkeytactical on Instagram
