Grab your coffee and brace yourselves, folks—it’s Hump Day, and WFEA host Jeff Chidester is kicking off the broadcast with a loaded edition of The Morning Brief.

Jeff starts by taking direct aim at the modern political standard: candidates and elected officials who treat open media, public forums, press conferences, and debate stages like a game of high-stakes hide-and-seek.

If a politician’s strategy for winning your vote involves hiding behind teleprompters and pre-approved, vetted podcasts while dodging real questions, Jeff’s got a few words of advice—starting with “show up.“

Next, Jeff turns his sharp eye toward Turtle Bay to dissect President Trump’s latest address at the United Nations, along with the inevitable media meltdown that followed. Who nailed the commentary, who completely lost the plot, and who was just reading off yesterday’s talking points?

Jeff breaks down the grandstanding on both sides of the aisle.

Finally, because Granite State politics never takes a breath, Jeff tackles the absurd reality of our local political calendar: the 2026 Midterm Elections aren’t even over yet, and somehow, political operatives are already buzzing about the 2028 First-in-the-Nation Primary. Because why settle for one election crisis at a time when you can panic about two?

Tune in every weekday morning for the signature commentary, unfiltered truth, and sharp wit you only get on WFEA.
