Trigger Warning: the Graham Platner story is covered in depth. In this episode, the Hito boys bite deep into gnawing questions of establishment Democrat failures and the unacceptable status quo that Trump and the Republicans have subjected us to. What's Going on with Mitch McConnell? Who's to blame for Graham Platen's candidacy? Who won the Michigan Senate primary debate between Haley...

With Mallory McMorrow out of the race, the Michigan Democratic Primary for the open Senate seat is *literally* a battle between good and evil. Abdul and his positive vision for the future stand in stark contrast with Haley Stevens' plan to continue the unpopular status quo and ineffectively fight against Trump by voting to thank ICE while claiming the agency needs reform. Electability and unfo...

Melat Kiros won in Colorado, Abdul El-Sayed is in the lead, and Kamala Harris is capitulating to the Uncommitted Movement. Leftist election-watchers are EATING!! The boys break all of the recent election news down for you, and later, Congresswoman Summer Lee (PA-12) joins the show to discuss it further. Lastly, the boys cover recent rulings from SCOTUS, specifically the birthright citizenship case...

Centrist Democrats are still freaking out about the progressive wins in last week's New York primary elections. Elissa Slotkin said we need new leadership in the House and Senate, to which she was met with pushback from multiple establishment Democrats. The boys break down the biggest narratives that have emerged from the centrists trying to discredit the work of progressives. What's in th...

NOTE: Espaillat was not elected to Congress until 2017 -- the statement about him serving for 30 years was incorrect. Sorry for the misinformation! The boys break down the massive wins for progressives and Mamdani’s political movement in NYC. Republicans and Democrats alike are NOT happy about what transpired Tuesday night, and we cover all of the biggest reactions. From Jaime Harrison to Jesse Wa...

The boys talk about the woes of translating Ben Gvir's tweets, why JD Vance will never be president, and a host of other news revolving around the US-Israel relationship as it pertains to the Iran war and beyond. Stay tuned to the end, where we round up some of the weekend's nonsense, from the Reflecting Pool drama to Jasmine Crockett not endorsing James Talarico.  Trevor Project Fundraise...

Trump lost the Iran war BIGLY, and the boys are here to break down the surrender and laugh about how funny it is. The 14-point memorandum of understanding went public on Wednesday and includes a complete end to the war on all fronts, including Lebanon , a $300 billion investment fund for the rebuilding of Iran, and unfreezing up to $167 Billion in Iranian assets. Trump flip-flopped on ballistic mi...

Does anyone know what is in this deal?! Sunday evening, the US and Iran signed (?) an agreement that would supposedly open the Strait of Hormuz and end the US naval blockade. The deal supposedly ends hostilities and opens parties up to negotiate on Iran's nuclear future over the 60-day period. What else is in the deal? No one knows! Will the deal hold up? Probably not! All parties involved in...

Dr. Abdul El-Sayed, candidate for US Senate in Michigan, joins the boys once again to discuss how his campaign has gone thus far, the various "controversies" he has faced (Hasan Piker, fake doctor allegations, etc.), Medicare for All vs a public option, how we should think about regulating artificial intelligence, abolishing ICE, and much more.  Support Abdul's campaign: https://abdu...

It's been over 100 days of war with Iran and everyone is lying! Countries are lying about ceasefires, investors are believing them (WHY??), and Donald Trump is saying he never promised no new wars. Also, another Graham Platner story dropped and it’s not great!  Early access on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/headintheofficepod Substack: https://headintheoffice.substack.com/ HITO Merch: https:...

Melat Kiros, candidate for Colorado's 1st Congressional District (CO-1), joins the show to discuss her challenge to 30+ year Democratic incumbent Diana DeGette, cutting off offensive and defensive aid to Israel, abolishing ICE and addressing immigration from the left, regulating the development of AI, and a lot more. If you want to support Melat, check out her campaign page: www.kirosforco.com...

This week, Graham Platner finds himself embroiled in yet another controversy that probably won't have electoral consequences. Amid the controversy, the HITO boys reflect on the state of the Maine senate race, the Democratic party’s strategy writ large, and the motivations behind most of the anti-Platner forces. On the Iran war side of things, on Monday, negotiations completely broke down as state-...

The Texas Senate general election is set! James Talerico is facing off against a contender for America's most corrupt man, Texas AG Ken Paxton, but before we get to that, the HITO boys have to talk about Katie Miller defending her husband Stephen Miller from the Ugly allegations on Fox News, the same updates on the Iran war over and over again, and our buildup of Naval forces outside of Cuba. ...

Hasan Piker has been subpoenaed for no reason, the Iran War continues (maybe forever), and no one wants to tell you the truth about anything. The boys discuss these stories, and later touch on Thomas Massie’s primary loss, the utter disaster that is the 2024 DNC autopsy release, and another flop Mallory McMorrow interview.

The same news is still happening: Iran war negotiations are fake, Trump is threatening genocide again (and admitting he doesn't care about our finances), gas prices are still high, and there is another Israel-Hezbollah ceasefire although fire has not ceased. Ka$h Patel stories keep hitting the timeline, this time it's about a “VIP snorkeling" trip at Pearl Harbor. Mallory McMorrow lau...

Rachel Cohen, attorney, activist, and top-tier poster, joins the show to discuss her experience leaving her law firm over their capitulations to Trump, tax resistance, the upcoming (and already decided) Supreme Court cases, if law is even a thing, the failures of the Democratic Party, and more.

The HITO boys talk about the Benjamin Netanyahu interview with 60 Minutes, where he outflanked Democrats from the left on the issue of US funding for Israel, and discussed a host of other Iran war-related news. Domestically, southern states were quick to disenfranchise black voters as soon as possible through gerrymandering after the Supreme Court functionally dismantled the Voting Rights Act. The...

Former President Obama wants a “loyal” Republican Party… whatever that means! Also, the war with Iran is still on, and the administration is finding the most childish, inane ways possible to dodge responsibility and continue to hold the world hostage with this pointless conflict. Another Kash Patel story has hit the timeline, this time about his personalized bottles of whiskey, Kamala Harris has c...

Conservatives continue to be incredibly unserious. Instead of getting us out of an unnecessary war with Iran, they’re posting fanfic and corny slop on the White House Twitter account. The Iran war rages on! And the boys are here to cover it. They also take time to cover the upcoming and already delivered decisions of this SCOTUS term with devastating implications for how many political ads we migh...

Hasan derangement syndrome is at an all-time high! A new bipartisan bill was introduced in CONGRESS to condemn Twitch streamer Hasan Piker for his critiques of Israel. The HITO boys also check in with DNC chair Ken Martin who sat down with Jon Favreau from Pod Save America to lie about why he's hiding the 2024 election autopsy. Also, the boys touch on the horrible SCOTUS decision that finally...

The boys discuss the very, very real assassination attempt at the White House Correspondents' Dinner. Many people are saying this could have been a false flag in order to manufacture consent for Trump's White House ballroom, and the coincidences keep piling up! Dana Bash capitulates to right-wing framing when she asks if this happened because Democrats say “Trump is bad for the country,” p...

Eumie Michelle joins the show to discuss Kash Patel being a maniac, the cadre of insane right-wingers running the government, the aims behind her content, how the left can become relatable again, and more.  Follow Eumie here: https://www.instagram.com/eumieverse_/   Early access on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/headintheofficepod Substack: https://headintheoffice.substack.com/ HITO Merch: https...

The war in Iran is still raging and, somehow, nobody knows what's going on. Are negotiations going to happen ahead of the ceasefire expiration? Who knows! Are gas prices on the rise? Yes, as of now, but maybe not! Can Israel be trusted to maintain current ceasefires? Not based on past actions! The reality of the Iran War is one where the entire situation changes on a dime, and no one can antic...
