Head in the Office

The HITO men discuss the murder of Renee Good in Minneapolis by an ICE agent: the controversy surrounding it, the lies, and the broad analysis of why ICE sucks so hard. They also cover the quagmire in Venezuela and Trump's new proposed $1.5 TRILLION military budget. Be sure to follow on the SECOND CHANNEL and check out the newest video essay!

Trump invaded Venezuela! The HITO boys gather to discuss the US operation to kidnap Nicolás Maduro out of the Presidential palace in Venezuela. What were Trump's motivations? Was it regime change? Was it oil? Or was it pure megalomania? Tune in to find out. Broadly, it seems like Trump and Marco Rubio want the US to return to an outdated kind of empire-building that will only serve to ostracize America from the rest of the world.

HITO book club kicks off the new year with a review of Independent by Karine Jean-Pierre. This was certainly a book! In this review, the HITO men attempt to break down exactly what Jean-Pierre wants out of her new political project and the many places she contradicts herself along the way. This makes 107 Days look like a modern classic! Tune in to see how someone whose job it was to defend Biden highkey fails to defend Biden.

It's the last news-focused episode of the year, and the HITO men are here to talk about Trump’s DOJ continuing to make the most suspicious move at every turn when it comes to the Epstein files. Pam Bondi thought she could get away with not only violating the law and not releasing the full files, but also fully redacting 550 pages of the little that was released. The DNC is also hiding things from the people as Ken Martin (DNC chair) announced the party would not be releasing their 2024 election autopsy.

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.

Instacart – 

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”).

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.

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.
