Blue Tsunami Causes Chud Extinction Event

NOTE: Chris Van Hollen publicly expressed his intention to challenge Schumer for Senate Majority Leader *after* we finished recording.One week into the Blunami and my Democrats are already making unforced errors! The impeachment of Pete Hegseth could’ve started if Democrats simply showed up to work. Because 11 Democrats missed to vote to begin Hegseth's impeachment, the start to the accountability agenda has hit a massive wall. Chuck Schumer is in a more vulnerable position than ever, and Hakeem Jeffries, while better positioned to become Speaker of the House, is not helping his case. Call your Senators and tell them to oust Schumer as leader: (202) 224-3121(The above phone number is the Congressional switchboard, they will direct your call for you)Early access on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/headintheofficepodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4iJ-UcnRxYnaYsX_SNjFJQSubscribe to second channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3UoTN328OA7fK2dzicP-ZATikTok: 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](0:00) Palantir CEO is insane(5:30) Intro(8:00) Congressional leadership battle continues(38:00) Democrats fumble Hegseth impeachment vote(58:20) Reviews/endingSeen on this episode:Battle for party leadership - https://www.nytimes.com/2026/11/10/us/politics/bernie-sanders-chuck-schumer-senate.html https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2026/11/10/congress/don-leonard-hakeem-jeffries-speaker-vote-democrats-01158321 https://www.newsweek.com/incoming-congressman-says-dems-warn-of-living-hell-for-opposing-jeffries-12696150 https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2026/11/09/congress/union-sours-on-schumer-01157983Pete Hegseth impeachment - https://www.nytimes.com/2026/11/11/us/politics/democrats-backlash-missing-hegseth-impeachment-vote.html

Will Chuck Schumer be the next majority leader? Will the Republicans calm down anytime soon??? Stephen Miller has been hired as Chief of Staff, and power vacuums in the GOP in Congress seem to indicate that Republicans will only get more extreme. Also, the boys talk through some additional midterm Election results, including anti-trans ballot initiatives and the opportunity to circumvent the Electoral College. Lastly, the Democrats NEED to lock in, oust Schumer from leadership, and push hard for accountability.Call your Senators and tell them to oust Schumer as leader: (202) 224-3121(The above phone number is the Congressional switchboard, they will direct your call for you)Early access on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/headintheofficepodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4iJ-UcnRxYnaYsX_SNjFJQSubscribe to second channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3UoTN328OA7fK2dzicP-ZATikTok: 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](0:00) Trump tripling down on evil(5:50) Intro(8:20) Where does the GOP go now?(16:00) Anti-trans ballot measures(28:35) Nuke the Electoral College from orbit NOW!(34:00) The battle for party leadership (Schumer must go!!)(1:10:30) Trump's strange 60 Minutes interview(1:17:30) Reviews/endingSeen on this episode:More election news - https://www.nytimes.com/2026/11/06/us/politics/susie-wiles-chief-of-staff-trump.htmlhttps://www.politico.com/live-updates/2026/11/04/congress/mike-johnson-steps-aside-01148698https://www.erininthemorning.com/p/anti-trans-ballot-measures-are-barely https://www.reuters.com/legal/government/us-anti-trans-ballot-wins-pose-challenge-democrats-ahead-2028-2026-11-07/https://www.nytimes.com/2026/11/05/us/elections/national-popular-vote-compact-midterm-elections-2028.htmlThe factional battle continues - https://www.cnn.com/2026/11/07/politics/senate-democrats-new-majority-leaderhttps://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/nov/06/chuck-schumer-majority-leader-incoming-democratic-senatorshttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/11/07/us/politics/schumer-election-democrats-senate.htmlImpeach Hegseth - https://www.nytimes.com/2026/11/08/us/politics/pete-hegseth-impeachment-hakeem-jeffries.html

WELCOME TO BLUCLEAR WINTER. Democrats won bigger than anyone could have anticipated this midterm cycle, and the boys gather to tell you what it all means. What conclusions can be drawn from the results? What's the status of the factional battle in the Democratic Party? What should we pay attention to in this new Congress? Come join in celebration for candidates like Abdul El-Sayed, Troy Jackson, Peggy Flannagan, James Talarico, and so many more – really, so many more.Early access on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/headintheofficepodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4iJ-UcnRxYnaYsX_SNjFJQSubscribe to second channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3UoTN328OA7fK2dzicP-ZATikTok: 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](0:00) Chud Extinction Event(9:20) Intro(11:15) Election results breakdown(46:10) Narrative spins & what's next?(1:34:00) Reviews/endingSeen on this episode:https://www.cbsnews.com/news/house-districts-flipped-2026-midterm-elections/https://www.cbsnews.com/news/dummymander-republican-redistricting-congress-trump/?intcid=CNR-02-0623https://www.ajc.com/politics/2026/11/democrats-poised-to-win-majority-in-georgia-house-for-first-time-in-22-years/https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/elections/voter-trends-texas.html

In the waning days of the midterm elections, instead of having a discussion of candidates and their causes, the boys are once again forced to discuss Haley Stevens – someone who lost her primary and is not running in a general election– because she chose to make the Michigan senate race about her and her own personal allegiance to Israel (and her hurt feelings). The boys break down what they think went into decision, clown on her media appearances, and discuss the consequences for the race. For a candidate that "doesn't want to be in the spotlight” she sure is doing a lot of interviews!Early access on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/headintheofficepodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4iJ-UcnRxYnaYsX_SNjFJQSubscribe to second channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3UoTN328OA7fK2dzicP-ZATikTok: 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:Haley Stevens - https://x.com/HaleyforMI/status/2116161977256980989https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/mike-rogers-campaign-spokesperson https://www.politico.com/storyline/live/2026/11/01/2026-midterm-elections-preview-sundayhttps://www.huffpost.com/entry/haley-stevens-dinner-mike-rogers-endorsement-jason-turkish_n_6ae8776ae4b0ac29e447e2f6

WHAT HAPPENED TO VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO???? The boys discuss how Haley Stevens is actively undermining Abdul's candidacy and propping up Mike Rogers with so many of her public criticisms so close to Election Day. But it's not just Stevens, her fiancé just came out and said that he will be voting for Mike Rogers and promptly showed up to a Mike Rogers campaign event to advocate for him. Beyond the undermining of Abdul El-Sayed by Stevens, the boys touch on the new epidemic of voters using AI chatbots to help decide who they should cast their ballots for and Elon Musk being the biggest election spender of any election cycle in U.S. history.Phonebank for Abdul! : https://go.abdulforsenate.com/phonebankEarly access on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/headintheofficepodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4iJ-UcnRxYnaYsX_SNjFJQSubscribe to second channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3UoTN328OA7fK2dzicP-ZATikTok: 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](4:25) Intro(9:30) Haley Stevens undermines Abdul, Fiance supports Mike Rogers(47:20) People using AI to vote(57:30) 2026 political spending roundup(1:03:50) Reviews/endingSeen on this episode:Haley Stevens…https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/28/us/politics/stevens-el-sayed-senate-democrats-michigan.htmlhttps://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/10/27/el-sayed-distances-himself-ad-tying-gaza-war-increased-costs/ https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2026/10/28/haley-stevens-fiance-jason-turkish-voting-for-mike-rogers-abdul-el-sayed-israel-jewish/92480200007/?gnt-cfr=1&gca-cat=p&gca-uir=false&gca-epti=z114131p119050l000050c119050e115075v114131&gca-ft=9&gca-ds=sophi https://www.metrotimes.com/news/u-s-senate-candidate-rogers-taps-students-who-defended-hitler-group-chat-and-spread-misogynistic-comments/ AI voting - https://www.npr.org/2026/10/05/nx-s1-5977852/ai-chatbots-midterm-electionPolitical spending & Elon Musk - https://www.washingtonpost.com/elections/interactive/2026/06/25/these-are-biggest-individual-donors-2026-election-cycle/

The boys gather to discuss the first ever contentious interview Mike Rogers has faced, Trump's latest attempt to meddle with the midterm elections (this time in Alaska), the rising price of gas, Israeli elections, what the candidate for the Democratic nomination in 2028 needs to commit to if they want the left's support. To end, the boys cover yet another Democrat running an anti-trans ad for some reason and Nicki Minaj’s appearance at Trump's rally in Michigan. Phonebank for Abdul! : https://go.abdulforsenate.com/phonebankEarly access on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/headintheofficepodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4iJ-UcnRxYnaYsX_SNjFJQSubscribe to second channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3UoTN328OA7fK2dzicP-ZATikTok: 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](0:00) Mike Rogers fumbles an interview(6:05) Intro(9:40) Trump wants to steal Alaska's election(34:20) GEOPOLITICS: Iran, Israeli elections, and more(54:30) Josh Turket anti-trans ad(1:01:15) Nicki Minaj at Trump rally(1:05:50) Reviews/endingSeen on this episode:Alaska Election - https://www.politico.com/news/2026/10/24/trump-alaska-election-justice-department-01134590https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/whats-going-on-with-dan-sullivan-and-dan-sullivan-the-alaska-senate-litigation-explained https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-election/democrats-ask-judge-dismiss-trump-administrations-challenge-alaska-sen-rcna605472Geopolitics: war, gas prices, and more - https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2026-10-21/us-midwest-pump-prices-poised-for-surge-after-refinery-upset https://www.theguardian.com/business/2026/oct/23/oil-five-month-high-fears-us-renews-strikes-iran https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/23/business/energy-environment/oil-prices-iran-war.html https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/10/25/world/middleeast/israel-election-results-netanyahu-eisenkot-government.html

With the midterms less than two weeks away, Republicans are scrambling to recover the horrible position they put themselves in with Trump's tariffs and war in Iran. Trump has been on the trail talking about how hot men are. Vivek Ramaswamy went full evil when he chose to platform his opponent's estranged mother in a campaign ad despite her history of enabling abuse against Amy Acton. Then, in response to the backlash, JD Vance took the stage to defend Ramaswamy's attacks, not once, but TWICE, despite previously calling to leave family out of political attacks. In other news, Israel is running pro-Iran War ads in Iowa, Mike Rogers has a history of support for the Muslim Brotherhood, and the centrists are claiming Mamdani.Register to see us at the Michigan Sociological Association Conference on 10/24 (for “institution” put “Head in the Office”): https://www.michigansociology.org/registration-form Early access on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/headintheofficepodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4iJ-UcnRxYnaYsX_SNjFJQSubscribe to second channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3UoTN328OA7fK2dzicP-ZATikTok: 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](0:00) Trump is deteriorating(8:15) Intro/announcements(11:00) Vivek Ramaswamy's diabolical ad(24:50) JD Vance tour(35:50) Mike Rogers supports the Muslim Brotherhood(41:10) Israel is running ads in Iowa(52:30) Mamdani is being co-opted by centrists(1:10:00) Reviews/endingSeen on this episode:Ohio Governor race - https://www.ms.now/polling-ohio-governor https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/ramaswamy-campaign-says-it-produced-ad-with-amy-actons-mother-and-will-spend-millions-to-promote-it https://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/6163244-vance-criticizes-gop-ramaswamy-ad/ Michigan & Iowa election watch - https://www.metrotimes.com/news/mike-rogers-keeps-lying-about-abdul-el-sayed-we-counted-the-ways/https://zeteo.com/p/why-is-israel-running-tv-ads-in-iowa Mamdani - https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/10/mamdani-leftist-moderate-new-york/689053/NYT stories - https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/19/us/politics/trump-midterms-republican-political-ads.html?campaign_id=9&emc=edit_nn_20261020&instance_id=183812&nl=the-morning®i_id=248393192&segment_id=228384&user_id=fcfcced1957a8c929f78d510013061fdhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/21/upshot/times-siena-poll-trump-midterms.html

With the midterm elections two weeks away, the boys take time to check in with the rural vote and see where farmers' allegiances lie. Despite policies and wars uniquely crafted to disenfranchise the American heartland, to no one's surprise, they still will not vote Democrat. As the #1 geopolitical podcast, the fellas check in on the situation in France and how American politicians are making it about immigrants. The U.S. midterms aren't the only important elections going on. Israel is holding elections on October 27th that could see Netanyahu out of power, but for reasons discussed, the other options aren't so great. Register to see us at the Michigan Sociological Association Conference on 10/24 (for “institution” put “Head in the Office”): https://www.michigansociology.org/registration-form COME TO OUR DEBATE LIVESTREAM, OCTOBER 21 AT 6:30PM ET: https://youtube.com/live/C-W5orWB3F4?feature=shareEarly access on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/headintheofficepodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4iJ-UcnRxYnaYsX_SNjFJQSubscribe to second channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3UoTN328OA7fK2dzicP-ZATikTok: 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](0:00) Abdul heckler gets mogged(13:15) Intro/ANNOUNCEMENTS(18:30) Checking in with the median voter(38:25) Centrists want to claim Mamdani(43:45) French protests & riots(52:05) Upcoming Israeli elections(1:08:00) James Carville wants Dems to lose?(1:20:20) Reviews/endingSeen on this episode:Farmers & the rural vote - https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/18/us/politics/farmers-ranchers-trump-economic-stress.htmlhttps://michigandems.com/coffee-prices-spike-41-due-to-tariffs-backed-by-price-hike-mike/https://www.newsweek.com/trump-alexandria-ocasio-cortez-sebastian-gorka-1348364https://www.americanprogress.org/article/iran-war-triggered-a-diesel-and-fertilizer-crisis-for-americas-farmers/https://www.npr.org/2026/04/01/nx-s1-5768202/iran-war-adds-more-expense-for-profit-starved-u-s-grain-farmershttps://finance.yahoo.com/economy/articles/u-farmers-face-31-billion-153000235.htmlGeopolitics: France & Israel - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/oct/18/europe-protests-france-spain-portugal-2026-explainer https://www.nytimes.com/article/france-student-protests-why.html https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/19/france-far-right-protests-riots.html https://www.timesofisrael.com/2026-israeli-elections-what-you-need-to-know/ https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/oct/18/theres-a-lot-of-racism-a-lot-of-hatred-far-right-gains-predicted-as-israel-heads-to-the-pollshttps://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/arab-led-parties-could-decide-the-israeli-election-if-anyone-would-partner-with-them

NOTE: Katie Zacharia has already been fired. She was only on the job for 5 days, making her the shortest serving Press Secretary in U.S. history. A new Press Secretary for the Trump administration had her debut this week, and it was a total disaster. Katie Zacharia, who seems to not be an actual attorney despite her claims, is a complete buffoon (justice for Scott Jennings!). In other news, Mike Rogers is one of the most corrupt men in politics, the media is not interested in fair coverage of the Michigan Senate race, and James Talarico is getting pressed about the Bible on a CNN and Jubilee townhall.Register to see us at the Michigan Sociological Association Conference (for “institution” put “Head in the Office”): https://www.michigansociology.org/registration-form Early access on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/headintheofficepodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4iJ-UcnRxYnaYsX_SNjFJQSubscribe to second channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3UoTN328OA7fK2dzicP-ZATikTok: 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](0:00) Katie Zacharia: New Press Secretary(12:30) Intro/announcements(16:45) Mike Rogers: America's most corrupt man(26:40) "Democrats for Mike Rogers" is a sham(36:15) Media coverage of Michigan Senate race is diabolical(57:30) James Talarico does a CNN x Jubilee Townhall(1:11:45) Reviews/endingSeen on this episode:Mike Rogers insane corruption - https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/mike-rogers-wife-kristi-military-contracts-aegis-michigan-senate https://www.dropsitenews.com/p/democrats-mike-rogers-michigan https://michiganadvance.com/2026/08/19/telecom-industry-gave-mike-rogers-nearly-100k-while-he-pushed-to-deepen-government-data-sharing/

There are many, many reasons to abolish ICE, and we have a few more after this past week of news. This time, ICE has set their sights on Congresswoman Ilhan Omar, conducting a raid on her house related to her immigration documentation from when she was a child. Unfortunately, the horrors don't end there. ICE agents in NYC also shot up a car with a 5 year old in the back seat and likely won't face any accountability. In other news, Pete Hegseth wants to live stream an execution, Mike Rogers has amped up the islamophobia, and the boys introduce another Democrat into the reviled "My Democrat" category with Annie Andrews and her anti-trans ad in South Carolina.Early access on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/headintheofficepodYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4iJ-UcnRxYnaYsX_SNjFJQSubscribe to second channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3UoTN328OA7fK2dzicP-ZATikTok: 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](0:00) Pete Hegseth to bring back public executions(4:00) Intro(7:00) ICE shooting in NYC(25:45) Ilhan Omar's D.C. residence raided by ICE(36:10) ELECTION WATCH: Michigan (Abdul El-Sayed vs Mike Rogers)(54:50) ELECTION WATCH: South Carolina (Dr. Annie Andrews vs Senator Graham)(1:07:20) Reviews/endingSeen on this episode:ICE shooting in NYC - https://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/09/nyregion/oscar-belgal-ice-shooting-nyc.htmlhttps://www.cnn.com/2026/10/12/us/ice-new-york-shootinghttps://www.thecityreporter.nyc/2026/10/09/brenden-cuni-ice-officer-shooting-arrests/https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/person-shot-ice-officers-new-york-city-rcna602413https://www.wired.com/story/ice-agent-at-nyc-shooting-has-history-of-alleged-violence-and-illegal-arrests/https://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/ice-shooting-of-man-in-new-york-with-child-in-his-car-sparks-outrageICE raids Ilhan Omar’s residence in DC - https://apnews.com/article/ilhan-omar-home-searched-8e18c2aea948bd90f4d7a4eb32b9ec3aELECTION WATCH: MICHIGAN - https://bridgemi.com/michigan-government/fact-check-no-evidence-abdul-el-sayed-pledged-support-to-muslim-brotherhood/ https://www.huffpost.com/entry/why-the-us-should-support_b_816037 https://www.newsweek.com/who-is-abdul-el-sayeds-mom-mike-rogers-debate-attack-line-explained-12549160 https://forward.com/news/855170/aipac-couldnt-stop-michigans-el-sayed-in-the-primary-now-its-trying-again/ELECTION WATCH: SOUTH CAROLINA - https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/polls/south-carolina-us-senate-election-polls-2026.html https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-election/south-carolina-senate-rivals-spar-iran-war-ai-trump-fiery-debate-rcna602590 https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-election/darline-graham-defends-resume-south-carolina-debate-saying-national-se-rcna593244
