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

On today's episode of, The Bearded Monkey Podcast, we discuss multiple topics related to firearms safety and defending your dwelling, and/or your loved ones from a potential threat.

Today's guest is my favorite co-host, Lasamoa. We break down a recent article from Police1.com. We also are starting up something we will be including in the majority of our episodes moving forward, which is a segment we will call, La's corner.

We then read through some of the details regarding the murder of Laken Riley.

Lastly, we talk some details of a new handgun developed by Shadow Systems Corp. This handgun is great quality and would work great for the legal gun owner to conceal on their person.

Below you will see links to the articles we read from today.

On today's episode of The Bearded Monkey Podcast, I discuss the new Colorado House Bill 24-1174. This bill pertains to new Concealed Carry Laws in the State of Colorado. The bill is only 12 pages long and I go through a large portion of it to try and provide some insight as to what to expect moving forward in order to either obtain, or renew your Concealed Handgun Permit.

On today's episode of THE BEARDED MONKEY PODCAST, Lasamoa plays host as she interviews me. She asks a bunch of questions regarding my origin story and a bit of my background from boyhood to where I am now. Lasamoa has been with me for several years, but even she learned a thing or two about me in this episode, of which I know you'll appreciate. As always, the banter back and forth between Lasamoa and myself is something I would anticipate will be entertaining for the listener.

In today's episode of The Bearded Monkey Podcast, I read excerpts from the book, Alone At Dawn, which was written by Dan Schilling and Lori Chapman Longfritz.

There is no way I can pay the respect due to John Chapman, who was killed in action, in 2002, in the mountains of Afghanistan. John was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor in 2018, 16 years after his death. I have always been inspired by this story and a 60 minute episode does him no justice.

I would encourage any of the listeners of the show to read this book, because it will leave you inspired.

As always, if you like the show, share the show with someone you think might also enjoy it.
