Jeff was joined by Sergey Nefedov. They discuss a two-year ordeal he faced after his home was raided by armed federal agents in June of 2024 stemming from trying to export snow machines to Kamchatka, Russia, how he spent a week in jail after being arrested, why the Department of Justice tried to deny him bail and portray him as a Russian mobster, how he was eventually released but put on severe restrictions with an ankle monitor and later a watch, how that affected his life, how his public defender showed the government's case against Nefedov was bogus, and how after two years the government finally dropped the charges against him. 

Jeff was joined by Anchorage attorney Scott Kendall. They discuss some ongoing political issues in Alaska including energy and the governor's race, issues with the three statewide issues this year, some ideas on how to prevent unserious candidates from getting on the ballot, why these issues are causing more people to vote to repeal the open primary and ranked choice voting, how the House and Senate will likely organize next year, how the governor's race will likely play out, and the continued issues with the timely counting of ballots in Alaska. 

Jeff was joined by videographer and producer Dave Murrow. They discuss how he ended up in Fairbanks in the 1980s, how he got into video producing and later political campaigns, some of the campaigns he worked on over the years including Frank Murkowski, Sean Parnell, and Sarah Palin, his time working for then-Governor Sarah Palin before she resigned, some books he has written on Christianity, why men are starting to attend church more than women, and a business he and his wife run.
