Jeff Chidester’s Morning Opening: Oops, Mamdani Did It Again

July 20, 2026 – Monday

Host Jeff Chidester comes bouncing back into the studio to kick off the week with a strong Monday Morning.

Sadly, Jeff has to start the show discussing the death of three American service members lost in the USA-Iran conflict.

Jeff talks about the recent release of the court transcripts of NH Rep. Ellen Read, and the crazy response she gave when asked if a law enforcement officer had the right to stop her if she killed someone. Her answer is amazing.

Jeff finishes the segments with Border Chief Tom Homan discussing a recent statement made by NYC Mayor Mamdani on sanctuary city policies. Jeff breaks down Homan’s continued concern about municipalities flaunting or outright ignoring U.S. immigration law.
