Head in the Office

Iran wants you to vote blue no matter who! The boys assemble to laugh at Pete Hegseth's latest slam poetry piece at the “State of the Force,” discuss Iran's plea to Americans to vote for Democrats this November, break down Susan Collins's blatant pay-to-play corruption scheme, doom about Troy Jackson's campaign and the vestiges of Mallory McMorrow, and cover the developments and discourse around the Cornell Seven.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 slam poetry(7:45) Trump & Hegseth flounder on Iran(12:15) Iran's letter to America(16:30) ELECTION WATCH: Maine (Susan Collins corruption scandal)(32:45) ELECTION WATCH: Maine (Troy Jackson fumbling the bag?)(51:40) The Cornell Seven situation (TW)(1:27:20) Reviews/endingSeen on this episode:Iran war updates (and Pete Hegseth’s corniness) - https://www.cbsnews.com/live-updates/iran-war-us-negotiations-strait-of-hormuz-oil/ https://www.politico.com/news/2026/09/30/hegseth-pentagon-defense-speech-01101242 https://www.semafor.com/article/09/27/2026/republicans-fuming-at-hegseth-as-war-costs-build https://time.com/article/2026/09/30/iran-war-irgc-open-letter-us-midterm-elections-american-voters/ Susan Collins corruption story - https://www.propublica.org/article/fbi-susan-collins-navatek-campaign-donations-investigation https://www.propublica.org/article/debunking-susan-collins-fbi-navatek-investigation-claims Troy Jackson’s campaign gets swarmed - https://nymag.com/intelligencer/article/maine-senate-democratic-party-troy-jackson-graham-platner-susan-collins.html Cornell seven - https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/29/nyregion/cornell-university-rape-investigation-chi-phi-fraternity.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/nyregion/cornell-rape-accusation-reporting.html?campaign_id=9&emc=edit_nn_20261001&instance_id=182844&nl=the-morning®i_id=248393192&segment_id=227346&user_id=fcfcced1957a8c929f78d510013061fdhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/nyregion/url-cornell-university-jane-doe-rape-case-statement.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/10/01/nyregion/cornell-jane-doe-rape-investigation-documents.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/30/us/cornell-university-7-chi-phi.html

The boys talk about Netanyahu’s visit to the UN General Assembly in New York (and how he called out Hasan Piker), updates surrounding the war in Iran, a goofy Abdul El-Sayed attack ad, and a retrospective from our Will Lawrence interview and the possibility of Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker of the House in 2027.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) Netanyahu calls out Hasan Piker at the UN(5:30) Intro(7:45) Geopolitics: the UN, Iran updates, diesel export ban(28:00) Mike Rogers pathetic attacks against Abdul(55:15) Reflecting on Will Lawrence & the limitations of electoralism(1:21:00) Reviews/endingSeen on this episode:Iran updates - https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/25/business/energy-environment/trump-diesel-export-ban.html https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/27/world/middleeast/iran-trump-ceasefire-strait-of-hormuz.html https://truthout.org/articles/trump-threatens-iran-with-genocide-in-address-to-un-general-assembly/ https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/27/us/politics/iran-war-republicans-midterms-trump.html Attack ad on Abdul El-Sayed - https://www.poam.net/poam-news/poam-mike-rogers-public-safety-commercial/https://elsayedmi.com/

Will Lawrence, candidate for Michigan's 7th Congressional district, returns to the show to discuss his campaign against incumbent Republican Rep. Tom Barrett, the dangers of AI and data centers, pushing back against the Iran war, prosecuting the corrupt Trump administration, his decision to support Hakeem Jeffries as Speaker of the House, and the obviously bad faith smears against him.Support Will's campaign: https://wewill2026.comEarly 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) Tom Barrett is a certified BUM!(2:50) Beginning of interview with Will Lawrence(6:20) AI & data centers(15:15) Iran War & Trump foreign policy(17:20) Why support Hakeem Jeffries?(21:40) Holding Trump accountable(24:55) Running as a progressive(29:00) Smears & right-wing attacks(32:40) Ending

The situation in the Middle East continues to deteriorate – something that has never happened before!! The Houthis are escalating their conflict with Saudi Arabia, Trump is still lying about negotiations with Iran, and gas prices are still too high. In other news, Gavin Newsom and Jake Tapper pretended to be normal people in a recent interview, and a Democrat in Ohio is running a new ad with the bold and innovative strategy of throwing trans people under the bus. Help us fundraise for PCRF: https://www.instagram.com/headintheoffice/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=enTwitter: https://twitter.com/headintheofficeThreads: https://www.threads.com/@headintheofficeDiscord: https://discord.gg/hito Collab inquiries: [email protected](0:00) Jake & Logan Paul address the Pentagon(5:00) Intro(7:25) PCRF fundraiser plug(9:10) Houthis continue to beat on Saudi Arabia(19:40) Energy costs rise around the world & businesses worry(39:10) Republicans say gas prices don't matter(50:15) Gavin Newsom cosplays as a proletarian(55:00) Marcy Kaptur's anti-trans ad(59:20) Reviews/endingSeen on this episode:Iran war continues - https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/19/world/middleeast/saudi-arabia-riyadh-houthis.html https://www.theguardian.com/world/2026/sep/16/us-officials-decide-against-backing-saudi-arabia-yemen-meeting-houthi-leaders https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/9/18/as-houthis-grab-bab-al-mandeb-us-appears-willing-to-watch-from-sidelines https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cq0m3gmv8n7ko https://www.cnn.com/2026/09/20/economy/covid-diesel-supply-chain https://apnews.com/article/gas-prices-trump-midterms-affordability-iran-war-d2f5d5aa7ecc1f6d55d8f5759db03150

The boys explore the AI drama, including calls for regulation on AI companies and the recent incidents that spawned them. Later, the boys provide brief economic updates as they pertain to the Iran war, and a new $2.8 billion arms deal that would send 40,000 2,000lbs bombs to Israel at the expense of the U.S. tax payer. 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) JD "Second Chance" Vance(2:50) Intro(5:35) Will AI end humanity?(58:00) Iran war, troubling economic indicators(1:08:45) U.S. giving Israel free weapons (and Cory Booker)(1:17:00) Reviews/endingSeen on this episode:AI - https://metr.org/blog/2026-08-26-openai-hugging-face-incident-investigation/#july-8th-9th-phaseone10841-establishes-the-primary-message-board-and-agents-collaborate-to-reverse-engineer-their-flagshttps://www.technologyreview.com/2026/08/26/1143013/the-inside-story-on-why-openai-agents-hacked-hugging-face/https://www.newsweek.com/chinas-stance-on-ai-regulation-amid-trumps-post-against-formal-guardrails-12440150https://hai.stanford.edu/ai-definitions/what-is-ai-alignmenthttps://www.reuters.com/world/europe/openai-agents-hijacked-german-website-previously-undisclosed-ai-breakout-this-2026-09-04/https://www.politico.com/news/2026/09/11/openai-reveals-another-rogue-ai-attack-01073312https://www.nbcnews.com/tech/security/anthropic-whistleblower-congress-ai-companies-regulation-rcna597465https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/12/technology/doomsday-discussions-ai-companies.htmlIran war updates - https://www.nbcnews.com/business/economy/fed-raises-rates-defying-trump-rcna598148 https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/14/business/10-year-treasury-yield-5-percent.html 2.8 billion to Israel - https://apnews.com/article/trump-israel-weapons-sales-gaza-eb48cb7ecf773ffc472fbafc995aef2a#https://www.nytimes.com/2026/09/15/us/politics/trump-israel-bombs.html
