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.
