Head in the Office

Donald Trump just entered the contest for worst messaging attempt of 2025 with his “affordability is a Democrat hoax”, and polling indicates the Republican coalition is utterly falling apart. Add the Tennessee special election shift towards blue in the mix, and things are beginning to look good for the 2026 midterms! Also, Pete Hegseth can't stop himself from lambasting reporters and being infinitely corny in the process – even when being questioned about his alleged war crimes.Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/headintheofficepodSubstack: https://headintheoffice.substack.com/HITO Merch: https://headintheoffice.com/ Get 40% off Ground News: https://ground.news/checkout/all?fpr=headintheoffice YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4iJ-UcnRxYnaYsX_SNjFJQTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@headintheoffice?lang=enInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/headintheoffice/Twitter: https://twitter.com/headintheofficeThreads: https://www.threads.com/@headintheofficeDiscord: https://discord.gg/hito Collab inquiries: [email protected] on this episode:Pete Hegseth commits brazen war crimes - https://www.washingtonpost.com/national-security/2025/11/28/hegseth-kill-them-all-survivors-boat-strike/ https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/dec/02/hegseth-us-soldiers-iraq-rules-engagement https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/01/us/hegseth-drug-boat-strike-order-venezuela.html Affordability - https://www.politico.com/news/2025/12/04/poll-americans-trump-voters-affordability-crisis-00674747https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2025/12/02/tennessee-special-election-live-updates/87479909007/

Man-made horrors beyond my comprehension! The HITO men dive into the narratives surrounding the man who shot the two National Guard members in DC. In the face of bipartisan calls to increase vetting for immigrants, they break down why liberals need to stop ceding ground to the right's narratives on immigration. Later, they highlight an ICE agent's use of AI to write a use of force authorization, and why that practice may be responsible for the inconsistencies between their reports and body cam footage.

Marjorie Taylor Greene is resigning from Congress, effective early next year. She has separated from the Republican Party and Trump on some key issues like Epstein, the government shutdown, and Gaza... but has she actually changed? Is it a grift? Or can she just sense the political winds shifting? This was originally a substack post on our newsletter, Tertiary News, that was transformed into a short video essay.

Get ready for the holidays with your two favorite midwestern white boys as they prepare you for a variety of discussions that may come up at your family's celebrations. Can you convince your uncle that Zohran Mamdani won't ruin New York City? Will a cousin say Trump's tariffs are actually going to improve the awful economy? Are mass deportations good for anything at all? Has Trump actually stopped 8 wars??? Then, finally, recall with us, highlights from the Jeffrey Epstein saga that will surely convince anyone that there's a cover-up!Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/headintheofficepodSubstack: https://headintheoffice.substack.com/HITO Merch: https://headintheoffice.com/ Get 40% off Ground News: https://ground.news/checkout/all?fpr=headintheoffice YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4iJ-UcnRxYnaYsX_SNjFJQTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@headintheoffice?lang=enInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/headintheoffice/Twitter: https://twitter.com/headintheofficeBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/headintheoffice.bsky.social Discord: https://discord.gg/hito Collab inquiries: [email protected] on this episode:Tariffs/Economics - https://www.nytimes.com/2025/03/13/business/economy/trump-tariff-timeline.html https://bipartisanpolicy.org/explainer/tariff-tracker/ https://taxpolicycenter.org/features/tracking-trump-tariffs https://www.usatoday.com/story/money/2025/11/21/job-layoffs-news-2025/87381731007/ https://fortune.com/2025/10/07/data-centers-gdp-growth-zero-first-half-2025-jason-furman-harvard-economist/ Immigration - https://www.nbcnews.com/data-graphics/us-immigration-tracker-follow-arrests-detentions-border-crossings-rcna189148 https://www.migrationpolicy.org/content/immigrants-and-crime https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2024/07/22/what-we-know-about-unauthorized-immigrants-living-in-the-us/ https://www.statista.com/chart/16701/visa-overstays-outnumber-illegal-crossings/ Foreign wars & peace - https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c5y3599gx4qo https://www.factcheck.org/2025/08/addressing-trumps-claims-about-ending-multiple-wars/

CORRECTION: Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson is actually goated and we misunderstood her role in the SNAP debacle. Forgive us! More info here: https://www.nationalreview.com/2025/11/the-left-may-owe-justice-jackson-an-apology-on-snap-benefits/YOU DONT HATE MODERATE DEMOCRATS ENOUGH!! The men talk about the complete and total lack of backbones in centrist democrats, their failure to secure anything meaningful in the government shutdown fight, and the inability of Chuck Schumer to lead his party. They also touch on Trump's fight to take food out of the mouths of 42 million Americans by not dispersing SNAP and the general havoc with airlines.
