The MAGA Coalition Crumbles and Trump’s War on Christmas

The HITO men talk about how Trump can't get anything done and the American people are starting to turn on him for it. Republicans are failing to make healthcare more affordable, Trump's tariffs are stealing Christmas, and he can't get away from Epstein. They finish off the show with a story that uncovered Instacart charging shoppers different prices for the same items. Awards Show Nomination (closes end of day 12/17): https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfoDuNNegEB-dgyLC0RnIzZiZVWNhZKDX_OkwYtt46_VKePvA/viewform?usp=dialogPatreon: 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:Trump is a lame duck president – https://www.economist.com/interactive/trump-approval-tracker https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/politics-news/poll-trumps-maga-base-still-cracks-are-showing-ahead-2026-rcna248722 https://www.cnn.com/2025/12/14/politics/texas-redistricting-gop-latinos https://www.npr.org/2025/12/13/nx-s1-5643535/health-care-senate-house-gop-proposal https://abcnews.go.com/US/newly-released-photos-epstein-estate-include-images-trump/story?id=128345597 Tariffs stole christmas – https://nypost.com/2025/12/10/business/holiday-gifts-are-26-more-expensive-this-year-and-tariffs-are-to-blame-study/https://www.pbs.org/newshour/economy/consumers-arent-having-a-very-merry-holiday-season-ap-norc-poll-findshttps://www.pbs.org/newshour/show/how-tariffs-on-china-are-making-the-holiday-season-less-merry-for-shoppersInstacart – https://www.cbsnews.com/news/instacart-price-discrepancies-investigation/

The show opens with the HITO boys discussing the current conservative civil war. Will you side with Candace Owens, Tim Pool, Benny Johnson, or Nick Fuentes? Democrats are seeing a little bit of infighting, too, with Jasmine Crockett entering the Democratic primary field for the Texas Senate against James Talarico. Lastly, the boys cover a new ICE operation that involves snatching immigrants who are on their way to self-deport (unfittingly called “Operation Irish Goodbye”).Awards Show Nomination: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfoDuNNegEB-dgyLC0RnIzZiZVWNhZKDX_OkwYtt46_VKePvA/viewform?usp=dialog 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:Texas Senate race heating up - https://www.texastribune.org/2022/02/11/cryptocurrency-super-pacs-jasmine-crockett/ https://ajpaction.org/democratic-scorecard/jasmine-crockett/ https://www.politico.com/news/2025/08/21/james-talarico-miriam-adelson-billionaire-donations-00517288 https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-election/texas-senate-race-republicans-brace-runoff-rcna245613 https://www.npr.org/2023/09/16/1199803661/ken-paxton-attorney-general-texas-acquitted-impeachment-trial https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2025/07/jasmine-crockett-democrats/683652/Operation Irish goodbye (ICE agents grabbing people self deporting) - https://www.huffpost.com/entry/ice-plan-undocumented-immigrants-border_n_69371e0ce4b0020dff816622https://www.ice.gov/self-deportationhttps://www.politico.com/news/2025/08/03/white-house-doj-immigration-quota-mismatch-00490406

The boys gather to talk about the white supremacist rhetoric from Trump and other conservatives against Somali immigrants in Minnesota, honing in on a few fraud schemes to demonize the entire group. In other, also awful, news, CNN announced a partnership with the prediction market Kalshi to bring real-time betting odds into their reporting. From casual war profiteering to promoting destructive gambling addictions, what could go wrong with this partnership? Lastly, the boys denounce Netflix's acquisition of Warner Bros. and Fulnecky's growing celebrity.Nominate for the 2025 HITO Awards Show: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSfoDuNNegEB-dgyLC0RnIzZiZVWNhZKDX_OkwYtt46_VKePvA/viewform?usp=publish-editorPatreon: 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:Trump hates Somalis for no reason - https://www.wsj.com/us-news/law/minnesota-fraud-trump-somali-community-8433f648?gaa_at=eafs&gaa_n=AWEtsqfrxWl99wmk-xeLofMLTjP9beB3VOHp5pX9NGfkj0MKK13ka8Rw_woVMKjk3AQ%3D&gaa_ts=6935aa1a&gaa_sig=tCrGR26-toDHtihr4yV5ArTtu783KOXrczRjoSh3jB8EFucn8w0WSv24BqC0jtwEJ42uCq-NatOdaegdLnRjmQ%3D%3D https://www.npr.org/2025/12/03/nx-s1-5631809/somali-immigrants-minnesota-twin-cities-trump-ilhan-omar https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/02/us/politics/trump-somalia.html https://www.americanimmigrationcouncil.org/report/economic-impact-refugees-america/ https://kstp.com/kstp-news/top-news/somali-minnesotans-drive-economic-growth-pay-67m-taxes-annually/ https://www.census.gov/library/stories/2022/05/who-is-receiving-social-safety-net-benefits.html CNN & Kalshi team up for evil - https://news.kalshi.com/p/kalshi-cnn-prediction-market-partnershiphttps://polymarket.com/event/will-israel-launch-a-major-ground-offensive-in-gaza-by-october-31?tid=1765155882932https://www.forbes.com/sites/jasonwingard/2025/11/19/the-polymarket-effect-how-prediction-markets-are-beating-the-experts/

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/
