Who Runs Montana Politics? Dark Money Networks Explained-The Montana Resistance

Grab a beer and settle in — this one gets into it. The Beer Buds Big Sky crew welcomes Andy Boyd, founder of the Montana Resistance, for a deep dive into the dark money networks shaping Montana elections. From "The Table" — the behind-the-scenes power circle controlling Democratic strategy in the state — to the staggering sums being shuffled between PACs, C4s, and 527s on both sides of the aisle, Andy breaks it all down with the kind of candor you won't hear from the consulting class.

The guys also tackle NPR's Epstein investigation and the pages being scrubbed from federal files, Trump's State of the Union victory lap, and why Western Montana polling has both Daines and Zinke underwater heading into 2026.

Plus: excitement builds around the four Democratic candidates running in MT-1, a live round table event coming to Whitefish, and the crew sounds off on the Save Act, Medicaid threats, and the ever-widening income gap.

Next up: Congressional candidate Ryan Bussey joins the pod.
