  Trump’s Forever War in Iran Spirals Out of Control 16.09.2026 1t 5min

  NOTE: The Mitch McConnell segment was recorded before he announced his return to the Senate.The Iran War continues and is becoming a full-blown regional war as the Houthis in Yemen just took over the Bab al-Mandab Strait and explosions disrupt the Saudi East-West pipeline that carries ~5% of the world's oil. Get ready for price hikes!! At the RNC Midterm convention, Trump said the quiet part out loud when he acknowledged that if Iran had a nuke, we wouldn’t be bombing them anymore. The boys also touch on some extras such as Mitch McConnell still being absent, the wave of Islamophobia, and Jasmine Crockett honoring Chris Brown with a spot in the Congressional record. 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) You are NOT seeing that $5K(2:30) Intro(5:25) Iran War escalates, Houthis get involved(32:20) Jasmine Crockett & Chris Brown(40:10) What's up with Mitch McConnell????(45:45) Elon Musk to spend $100M on the midterms(52:40) Reviews/endingSeen on this episode:Iran war updates - https://www.npr.org/2026/09/12/g-s1-143044/yemens-houthis-capture-red-sea-island https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c62m933465eo https://www.cbsnews.com/news/saudi-arabia-mbs-trump-houthis-yemen/

Kirkification, right-wing feuds, and the attempts to turn him into a martyr have plagued us for the past year, and the boys simply must engage in the discourse.

  Hakeem Jeffries is NOT Fit To Be Speaker of the House 09.09.2026 1t 25min

  The boys discuss why Hakeem Jeffries is unfit to be Speaker of the House through his newly unveiled 2027 agenda, his endless fighting with the progressive and conservative wings of the Democratic Party, and his overall lack of messaging and leadership ability. They also talk about a new KFILE drop about old deleted tweets from Will Lawrence, his broader struggles with the DCCC & CBC, and John Fetterman being Israel's strongest soldier.

  The Hasan Piker-pocalypse 28.08.2026 1t 23min

  Hasan Piker is in the news once again, this time, for a “controversial” statement he made about antisemitism. This statement, that was no different than statements made uncontroversially by Ezra Klein, Haley Stevens, and Neera Tanden, drew condemnations from a wide variety of Democratic officials. From presidential hopefuls like Elissa Slotkin and Jon Ossoff to DNC chair Ken Martin, there has been a coordinated effort to disparage Hasan Piker. So much of this general election cycle has been eaten up by Hasan Piker discourse that voters are being robbed of a chance to learn about the two candidates that will actually be on the ballot: Mike Rogers and Abdul El-Sayed. Oh also, Trump started a brand new trade war with Canada for no reason.(0:00) Ken Martin don't be a bum challenge failed(4:00) Intro(7:15) Unending Hasan Piker discourse(1:03:30) Trump launches a new trade war(1:09:00) Reviews/endingSeen on this episode:Piker-pocalypse - https://heartlandsignal.com/2025/09/10/mike-rogers-justifies-trumps-tariffs-with-return-of-manufacturing-jobs-which-are-decreasing/https://michigandems.com/coffee-prices-spike-41-due-to-tariffs-backed-by-price-hike-mike/https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/12/opinion/hasan-piker-democrats.html?eafs_enabled=false https://hakg.uzi.uni-halle.de/editions/2?lang=de https://finance.yahoo.com/economy/policy/articles/canada-softens-us-tariff-reprisal-115226010.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAADr7hs7hVWPJqDR9YBkwH9wOepKAk0mDuInNQ-NeM5RmLawxLkK_VgpAnlGElCKIacSESX_cKQ_yDDUoiAnUXXjeSOjqOdEbWDVEbjbcMwFpLG8DmdyDvWM1996yEtn5UGnKyz0DHwe_kxYxpRr99v3rWt7PO4PyTrjBnXmkS6QQhttps://www.newsweek.com/democrats-are-fighting-a-war-over-a-man-most-voters-have-never-heard-of-12366860New trade war with Canada dropped - https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/6054237-trade-representative-jamieson-greer-trump-us-canada-trade-war/ https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c3v4xg5klx7o https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/23/world/canada/canada-us-trade-war-trump-carney.html https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/25/world/canada/trump-carney-trade-war-tariffs.html

  Hakeem Jeffries Attacks DSA & Mike “Mass Surveillance” Rogers 21.08.2026 1t 18min

  Hakeem Jeffries, the Bulwark, and Third Way can't help themselves from throwing cold water on the only faction of the party that has any motion right now. Whether it be Jeffries shadowboxing with defund the police rhetoric on Meet the Press, or Third Way announcing a $15 million investment into an effort to discredit the DSA, one thing is clear: the moderates are freaking out. The Florida primary happened this week and the boys break down what we can learn from the mixed bag of results, and what the possible general election scenarios could mean for the progressive movement and Florida as a whole. With general election season in full effect in Michigan, it's important to familiarize ourselves with Abdul El-Sayed's opponent Mike “mass surveillance” Rogers. Through statements and his own legislative record, Mike has made a career out of defending and helping contribute to the mass surveillance of US citizens by the US government.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) Hakeem Jeffries is an op(8:30) The coordinated anti-DSA operation (Bulwark & Third Way)(39:10) ELECTION WATCH: Florida(49:50) ELECTION WATCH: Michigan & Mass Surveillance Mike Rogers(1:10:20) Reviews/EndingSeen on this episode:Michigan election news - https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2026/08/18/democrats-road-retaking-senate-complicated-by-michigan/ https://michiganadvance.com/2026/08/19/telecom-industry-gave-mike-rogers-nearly-100k-while-he-pushed-to-deepen-government-data-sharing/Florida election news - https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/2026-primary-special-elections/florida-senate-resultshttps://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/08/18/us/elections/results-florida-governor-primary.html Attacks on the DSA - https://www.thebulwark.com/p/is-the-dsa-a-republican-psy-op?utm_source=twitter&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=subshttps://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/390527/the-new-principled-anti-americanism/ https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/06/us/politics/democratic-party-socialists-moderates.html?eafs_enabled=false

  Matt Yglesias and ANDREW CUOMO have a lot to say about the growing progressive movement, and the boys have a lot to say about their articles. Yglesias tries to give silly advice on how Abdul El-Sayed can appeal to moderate voters, and Cuomo, the disgraced former Governor of New York, wants to let us know how much he dislikes progressives by claiming the Democrats who vote for them are… immigrants!? Then, the #1 geopolitical podcast restakes its claim to the throne by talking about the current Iran war situation, the deteriorating conditions on the USS Lincoln, Pete Hegseth's “warrior ethos”, and what's going on in Gaza.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) Matt Yglesias has ideas for Abdul El-Sayed(8:30) Intro(10:15) Andrew Cuomo's anti-Abdul El-Sayed Op-Ed(33:30) Geopolitics: Iran, USS Lincoln, Gaza(58:20) Reviews/endingSeen on this episode:Cuomo Op-Ed - https://www.nydailynews.com/2026/08/13/democrats-must-resist-shifting-far-left/ Iran war updates - https://www.axios.com/2026/08/09/trump-iran-interview https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/16/world/middleeast/iran-war-us-trump.html https://www.ms.now/news/conditions-safety-uss-lincoln-iran-war https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/14/us/politics/trump-uss-abraham-lincoln.htmlGaza - https://apnews.com/article/gaza-ceasefire-kushner-netanyahu-hamas-palestinians-israel-321e254af26a0fff1b3ec2b8c00412a2https://apnews.com/article/ben-gvir-israel-gaza-hamas-netanyahu-53f98e92686746f3c9bccd7cf59f26adhttps://apnews.com/article/gaza-hamas-israel-deal-text-7347ef0f3b745f22c12b67f786b70f0fhttps://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-hamas-war-gaza-news-1215e52022856b9de9837237a0e188fa

  Learning From Francesca Hong's Loss & Jared Moskowitz Sucks (ft. Oliver Larkin) 14.08.2026 1t 38min

  Moderates cannot fail, they can only be failed... progressives on the other hand. The boys dive deep into Francesca Hong’s loss in the Wisconsin Democratic Gubernatorial Primary to moderate David Crowley. POLITICO thinks the progressive left has hit its ceiling but the situation surrounding Crowley's win is more complicated and offers useful lessons for a progressive movement that is expanding its electoral ambitions. Peggy Flanagan won her Senate Primary in Minnesota in a landslide, but you won't hear much about it from the people trying to punch left. Stay tuned to the end of the show where the boys interview Oliver Larkin!

On today's episode, the boys dive into the topic of Flock surveillance – the cameras put up across the nation to spy on everyone that are receiving a propaganda boost recently. In other news, we are one week into the general election in Michigan and there's already so much Discourse™: Kamala Harris endorsed Abdul, zionist Democrats are threatening to vote for Mike Rogers, and Hillary Clinton thinks she's qualified to give advice on winning Michigan. The WNBA was also in the news this week when two washed-up former NBA players announced they were signing up for the WNBA draft to raise awareness about “men in women's sports”.

  Abdul El-Sayed & Michigan Progressives Put the Establishment on FRAUD WATCH 07.08.2026 1t 33min

  Abdul El-Sayed is Michigan's Democratic nominee for Senate! Today, the boys delve deep into the DISCOURSE surrounding El-Sayed's primary win, what it meant to beat Haley Stevens, and how much work is needed to get him the win in November's general election. They also talk about down ballot races, most notably in MI-7 with Will Lawrence, and in MI-13 with Donavan Mckinney and their possible up ballot effects. This general is going to be messy and Republicans have already started launching vicious attacks against Abdul. From his full name to his association with Hasan Piker, there will be no (racist) stone unturned when it comes to associating this man with terrorism for the crime of being Muslim in America. 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:Election news - https://www.politico.com/news/2026/08/05/michigan-senate-primary-progressives-unclear-01025096https://bridgemi.com/michigan-government/michigan-democratic-senate-primary-results-abdul-el-sayed-haley-stevens/https://www.nytimes.com/2026/08/05/us/politics/aipac-michigan-general-election.html?eafs_enabled=falsehttps://michiganadvance.com/briefs/mike-rogers-florida-voter-registration-has-finally-been-canceled/ https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/08/05/us/elections/el-sayed-michigan-senate-precinct-maps.html?eafs_enabled=falsehttps://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/6011344-el-sayed-rogers-michigan-senate-race/https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2026/08/04/us/elections/results-michigan-us-house-13-primary.htmlhttps://www.michigan.gov/micrc/-/media/Project/Websites/MiCRC/District-Maps-by-County/MI_AllDistricts_byCounty_Wayne.pdf?rev=dc9730cf204c42649c7d111ac77a95fa&hash=4EC6481DC1FA2E1EF1FAA39A6173DD66https://www.wlns.com/your-local-election-hq/polling-predicted-a-much-larger-win-for-el-sayed-what-happened/

  It's almost Election Night in Michigan! The boys dropped an early election night special to dive deep into the state of the Michigan Senate Primary in its final days as Haley Stevens crashes out on Twitter, runs away from influencers at her own events, and generally runs a bad campaign. With Michigan Primaries wrapping up, the boys also zoom out to talk about the DNC’s money and Ken Martin problems, and well as whatever is going on with the Iran war. 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) Haley Stevens generational crash out(6:55) Intro(8:55) McMorrow accused of being DSA(17:45) More Haley Stevens hate(35:08) The DNC is BROKE(55:05) Geopolitics: Iran War updates(1:05:10) Reviews/endingSeen on this episode:Michigan Senate Race - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5bU-WMUPZ6Uhttps://www.wcmu.org/local-regional-news/2026-07-31/haley-stevens-departs-rally-amid-shouting-influencer-cancels-second-eventhttps://www.cnn.com/2026/08/02/politics/michigan-senate-democrats-abdul-el-sayed-haley-stevensThe DNC is broke lowkey - https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/26/us/politics/ken-martin-dnc-democrats.html?eafs_enabled=falsehttps://www.notus.org/democrats/dnc-headquarters-collateral-loan-ken-martin-phoneIran war - https://apnews.com/article/trump-iran-strait-hormuz-israel-gaza-mideast-f4c225f6667d9fd171616304701825a0

  What Insurgent Left Wins Mean for Establishment Politics feat. Donavan McKinney 31.07.2026 1t 9min

  The left is insurgent, and the establishment could not be more worried. In the closing days of this Michigan primary, the boys bring you TWO banger segments. First, Haley Stevens recently signal boosted a diabolical article written by a never-Trump conservative ideologue titled "Now the Democratic Party's Self-Destructive Wing Turns to Michigan". Naturally, the boys break down the think piece and explain how the establishment is mortified at the prospect of no longer having to moderate to win swing state elections if Abdul El-Sayed is victorious. Second, Gage sits down with Donavan McKinney, current State Representative and Congressional candidate for Michigan's 13th District, to discuss Shri Thanedar's failures, what Detroit needs from D.C., and the progressive left movement broadly.Phone bank for Abdul (Gage’s session is 7/31 at 4PM): https://go.abdulforsenate.com/jeremy-and-gage-phone-bank-takeoverSupport Donavan McKinney: https://www.donavanforcongress.com(0:00) PHONEBANK FOR ABDUL(1:54) Intro/announcements(5:05) Opinion Piece about Abdul(35:40) Interview with Donavan McKinneySeen on this episode:Opinion piece about Abdul - https://www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/07/22/sanders-warren-aocs-support-el-sayed-hurts-democratic-hopes/

  Abdul El-Sayed vs the Entire Democratic Establishment 29.07.2026 1t 34min

  The E in elections stands for evil. Join the HITO boys as they recount the weekend's happenings, including Jim Clyburn blaming black voters for the 2024 election loss, Updates on the Michigan Primary, and what's going on with Mamdani and Iran. With the Michigan Senate Primary reaching its final days, the Democratic establishment is desperate to spend all of its political capital on supporting Haley Stevens. $60 million dollars of outside spending has flooded into this race to support Haley Stevens, and Stevens has benefited from AIPAC’s largest single race investment in history. It's the many vs the money, and Abdul needs all the help he can get to fight this historic spend against him. Phone bank for Abdul (Gage’s session is 7/31 at 4PM): https://go.abdulforsenate.com/phonebank 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) Jim Clyburn with a wild take(10:05) Intro/announcements(14:15) ELECTION WATCH: Michigan, Whitmer Endorsement, Haley Stevens phoniness(1:01:10) House passes NDAA & Mamdani pressed about Netanyahu(1:19:20) Reviews/endingSeen on this episode:ELECTION WATCH: Michigan - https://michiganadvance.com/2026/07/23/stevens-campaign-parts-ways-with-consultant-after-palantir-work-comes-to-light/https://www.ap.org/news-highlights/elections/2026/aipac-has-spent-a-record-amount-on-michigans-senate-primary-the-biggest-test-of-its-influence-yet/https://michiganadvance.com/2026/07/08/new-poll-shows-el-sayed-stevens-statistically-tied-in-michigans-democratic-u-s-senate-primary/https://www.instagram.com/p/C-qeSsyxA46/https://www.cnn.com/2026/07/27/politics/black-voters-michigan-senate-stevens-el-sayedhttps://www.politico.com/news/2026/07/27/el-sayed-backlash-leaked-comment-michigan-senate-01012659?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitterhttps://bridgemi.com/michigan-government/pro-stevens-groups-erase-el-sayed-fundraising-edge-in-michigan-senate-race/House Passes NDAA - https://www.npr.org/2026/07/22/nx-s1-5903130/house-vote-iran-war-funding-reconciliationhttps://thehill.com/homenews/house/5984555-democrats-join-gop-vote-ndaa/

  Why Does the Media Hate Abdul El-Sayed? 22.07.2026 1t 27min

   The boys doom about the prophesied Michigan Senate primary with two weeks left in the critical race! Obama has refused to condemn the AIPAC ad using his words from 2018 to deceive voters into supporting Haley Stevens. Jake Tapper attacked Abdul El-Sayed during an interview, comparing him to Trump, saying he was too mean to Stevens, and trying to sow discord between him and Mamdani. Michigan isn't the only race where money is backing moderate Democrats bigly; Minnesota – another M state – sees Angie Craig getting 12 million dollars in outside spending to defeat her more progressive challenger Peggy Flanagan.

  BOUGHT AND PAID FOR: Haley Stevens the Plague Bringer Gets Millions from AIPAC 17.07.2026 1t 29min

  Plagues are descending upon Michigan, and it's because Haley Stevens has a chance. On today's episode of ELECTION WATCH, the HITO boys dissect the $50 million in outside spending flooding into the Michigan Senate race to support Haley Stevens and attack Dr. Abdul El-Sayed. $28 million of that money came straight from AIPAC, and part of it is being used to lie about Obama's support of Stevens. As the #1 geopolitical podcast, the boys also take the time to deliver wartime updates since the Iran war is heating up and shows no signs of stopping. Phone bank for Abdul: https://go.abdulforsenate.com/phonebank 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:The State of the MI Senate Race - https://www.aclu.org/press-releases/aclu-condemns-house-passage-of-dangerous-bill-that-would-chill-free-speechhttps://www.yahoo.com/news/politics/articles/abdul-el-sayed-tops-rivals-015349994.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAADr7hs7hVWPJqDR9YBkwH9wOepKAk0mDuInNQ-NeM5RmLawxLkK_VgpAnlGElCKIacSESX_cKQ_yDDUoiAnUXXjeSOjqOdEbWDVEbjbcMwFpLG8DmdyDvWM1996yEtn5UGnKyz0DHwe_kxYxpRr99v3rWt7PO4PyTrjBnXmkS6QQhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/16/us/politics/haley-stevens-michigan-senate-israel-aipac.htmlhttps://secure.actblue.com/directoryhttps://thehill.com/homenews/campaign/5970084-michigan-el-sayed-tax-returns/https://www.deadlinedetroit.com/articles/34825/stevens_defends_her_congressional_vote_on_israel_el-sayed_attackshttps://bridgemi.com/michigan-government/outside-spending-floods-michigans-us-senate-race-most-for-haley-stevens/https://www.metrotimes.com/news/uaw-slams-pro-stevens-super-pac-over-misleading-campaign-ads/https://bridgemi.com/michigan-government/fact-check-where-does-barack-obama-stand-on-michigans-senate-race/https://san.com/cc/did-obama-uaw-endorse-haley-stevens-no-but-voters-think-so/War updates - https://www.nytimes.com/2026/07/16/world/middleeast/iran-war-us-strikes.html https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2026/7/16/iran-war-live-sirens-in-bahrain-kuwait-us-disables-iranian-oil-tanker https://www.aljazeera.com/news/liveblog/2026/7/16/iran-war-live-sirens-in-bahrain-kuwait-us-disables-iranian-oil-tanker https://thehill.com/homenews/house/5970608-pelosi-clark-massie-israel-amendment/

Ro Khanna was detained by Israeli settlers and the IDF during a trip to the West Bank, the Iran war seems to be back on with announcements of Trump's very own tolls for safe passage through the Strait of Hormuz.
