Watch Jeff talk about how early voting got underway in Alaska with a bang, how Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Mary Peltola continues to dodge debates and forums, and a recent announcement by the federal government to spend $250 million to finish the Point MacKenzie Rail Extension.

Jeff was joined by Senator Ted Cruz (R - Texas) and Senator Dan Sullivan (R - Alaska). They discuss how this is Ted Cruz's third time in Alaska supporting Dan Sullivan since 2014, the number of close Senate races around the country,  the race in Texas between Democrat James Talarico and Republican Ken Paxton, issues with polling, why the race between Dan Sullivan and Democrat Mary Peltola is so important, and how Senator Sullivan differentiates himself from Mary Peltola.  

Jeff was joined by Bill Armstrong, owner of Armstrong Oil & Gas. They discuss how he got into the oil business after studying geology, the challenges he faced when he started his business, some of his first big paydays, why he came to Alaska in 2001 to explore on the North Slope, how his hunch led to the large Pikka discovery, why he thinks there is a lot of oil to still be discovered on the North Slope, Alaska's complex oil tax structure, and how the wrong kind of changes to the tax system could have dire effects on the new discoveries on the North Slope.  

(This was previously recorded as a live stream, which can be found on our Facebook page, X account, or YouTube channel.) Watch Jeff talk about the decisions last week by the Alaska Beacon, Anchorage Daily News, and Anchorage Press to pull out our debates months after agreeing to do so and how Mary Peltola's lawyers threatened to sue Jeff after publishing a story about some bad stuff former staffers allege she said.

Jeff was joined by Beth Alcazar, editor-at-large for the United States Concealed Carry Association.

Jeff was joined by Trent Hartill, vice president of American Seafoods. They discuss him being the person Mary Peltola was referring to when she texted a staffer "fuck that retard," the time he sat next to Mary Peltola on a plane earlier this year and talked about fish, him being the target of anti-trawl online activists, how the trawl debate has become mainstream in Alaska politics, why it has become so toxic, what Alaska politicians are saying, some of the hypocrisy surrounding the issue, and some of the misinformation surrounding the issue. 

Jeff was joined by Anchorage Assembly member and independent lieutenant governor candidate Zac Johnson. They discuss him being a young Marine when 9/11 happened, his two deployments as a Marine including being part of the initial invading force in Iraq, why he became an Alaska State Trooper after leaving the Marines, why he decided to leave the Troopers after his dad committed suicide, why he decided to run for the Anchorage Assembly in 2023, and how he became to be Democrat Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins' running mate. 

Jeff was joined by Republican gubernatorial candidate Treg Taylor and his running mate Candi English. They discuss why Treg chose Candi as his running mate, the wild situation of him being removed from the ballot and then added back on after the withdrawal deadline, the complicated situation with three Republicans in the in the governor's race, Candi's background in the oil industry, why they are against raising oil taxes, and some of the work Treg did as attorney general.
