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-affiliated Iranian news announced Iran would close the Strait of Hormuz and no longer consider talks while Israel continues its operations in Lebanon and Gaza. The boys also cover protests outside of Delaney Hall, an ICE detention center in New Jersey, where detainees are doing a hunger strike.Trevor Project fundraiser: https://headintheoffice.com/ Early access on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/headintheofficepodSubstack: https://headintheoffice.substack.com/ YouTube: 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: headintheofficepod@gmail.com(0:00) Susan Collins blames veterans for their own deployment(5:40) Intro(9:30) Iran War CONTINUES(26:20) Graham Platner controversies(54:18) Delaney Hall & Massive anti-ICE protests(1:09:05) Reviews/endingSeen on this episode:Delaney Hall hunger strike - https://www.reuters.com/pictures/protests-outside-newark-ice-facility-hunger-strike-inside-continues-2026-05-28/ https://www.cnn.com/2026/05/25/us/new-jersey-ice-facility-protests https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/may/30/protests-ice-immigration-detention-center-new-jersey https://tracreports.org/immigration/quickfacts/https://www.cnn.com/2026/05/29/us/ice-protests-new-jerseyIran war - https://www.cnbc.com/2026/06/01/iran-us-negotiations-strait-of-hormuz.htmlhttps://www.nbcnews.com/world/lebanon/israel-captures-key-lebanon-site-crossing-litani-river-rcna347732Platner - https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/30/us/politics/graham-platner-maine-senate-texts.htmlhttps://www.politico.com/news/2026/05/30/platners-campaign-sexual-texts-00943720?utm_medium=twitter&utm_source=dlvr.it

A big part of the court are the actual court nobles, so this episode we are taking a look at some of the ones mentioned in the Chronicles for this reign. For more, check out https://sengokudaimyo.com/podcast/episode-150 Rough Transcript Welcome to Sengoku Daimyo's Chronicles of Japan.  My name is Joshua and this is episode 150: Nobles of Jitou Tennou's Court   Maro donned his light blue robes and made his way to the court.  As he arrived, the sun was just peaking over the horizon, and as it bathed the court in the golden morning light the dark shadows were dispelled, leaving in their wake a colorful scene, as various court officials headed this way and that, gathering in their offices to pick up on the work that they had left unfinished the day before. As an ohotoneri, Maro was often sent to and fro between the offices of the different departments. As such, he was able to see how they worked, and he wondered to himself which department would have the best opportunity for advancement.  His family had connections over at the Department of Prisons, and it was definitely a place he could make a name for himself, especially if he attached himself to one of the newly minted magistrates.  On the other hand, the Jingikan, the Ministry for Kami Matters, had some of the most important and sought after positions.  After all, no matter what the secular administration did, when there was no rain for the fields, it was the kami to whom the court turned.  And the members of the Jingikan who helped make those ceremonies happen were known to be well rewarded for their troubles. Perhaps he would be better off taking a more modest position, such as with the Jibu-sho, the Department of Civil Administration.  It was mostly focused on the maintenance and execution of the bureaucracy, and wasn't necessarily a place to seek the limelight, but perhaps that also offered some opportunity.  Do well in one position, and who knows what that could open up to you in the long run?  Maybe one day Maro could make it up to become a Nagon, a Counsellor, or even one of the Daijin, the great ministers at the very head of the council of state.Maro almost laughed at the thought, but he didn't put it aside entirely.  After all, as impossible as it might seem now, the world was still changing, and who knew what opportunities might be waiting just around the corner?   This episode continues our look at the reign of Uno no Sarara, aka Jitou Tennou.  I would note that we have now reached the last chapter of the Nihon Shoki, which ends with the end of Uno no Sarara's reign in 697.  In this chapter, we have not quite 11 years to cover, and we've already talked about the first three of those years, which featured succession issues and a long mourning time for Uno's husband Ohoama, aka Temmu Tennou, culminating in the sudden death of her only son, the Crown Prince and heir apparent, Prince Kusakabe, in 689.  We also went over what was happening on the continent, with powerful women like Uno no Sarara either on or behind the throne in Silla and the Tang dynasty.  To quickly recap the succession issues: When Kusakabe died, tthat left the throne in a somewhat tenuous position.  There were two other male heirs that would seem to have a claim on the throne as well.  The first was Prince Takechi, who was technically Ohoama's eldest son, but the Chroniclers claim that his late mother was not sufficiently royal for him to have a serious claim.  Then there was Prince Karu, the only known son of the late Crown Prince Kusakabe, and had been born 6 years earlier, in 683, to the Crown Prince and his wife, Princess Abe.  Princess Abe was a daughter of Naka no Oe, and a half-sister to Uno no Sarara.  She was actually a year older than Kusakabe, and would continue to look after the young Prince Karu.  So, Prince Karu was only about 7 years old when his father passed away: much too young to be taking the throne, let alone a firm hand in the politics of the time.  And given the mortality statistics of the time, there is so much that could happen to him before he reached the age of majority.  And remember, there were already some questions about legitimacy, and we already discussed the fact that about 30 nobles had gathered in support of Prince Ohotsu right after Ohoama's death.  Uno no Sarara had that whole issue quashed and Prince Ohotsu had died, but it was nonetheless a stark reminder that things could change quickly. So at this point in Uno no Sarara's reign, there is a great deal of uncertainty afoot, and there are quite a few individuals named in the Chronicles who stand to benefit from sticking their fingers into politics in one way or another.  This episode, we're going to look at some of those individuals, their roles in the court, and the effect they had on Yamato.  Some of those people named are particularly interesting in that they were involved in the conspiracy with Prince Ohotsu, and would continue to be highly influential in the government.  For example, Iki no Hakatoko, Nakatomi no Omimaro, and Kose no Tayasu, and Yakuchi no Wotokashi are all name-dropped, which we'll get into more later.  It feels significant, however, that there were some 30 nobles all told, and beyond these four and the apparent ringleaders, we don't learn anyone else's names.   The importance of prominent individuals in the court has been a constant theme in the Chronicles and in this podcast, so getting to know the court is definitely important. Moreover, during this time period as we get more and more written sources from which to work from we will see more and more information on individuals.  Some of that will come from the Nihon Shoki and the records that come after—the Shoku Nihongi.  Others, however, are from sources like the Man'yoshu, where bits of biographical data are found about the authors that they mention.  There are also family diaries and later genealogies.  Some of these sources are a bit more trusted than others, especially when they were compiled centuries later and we don't exactly know what sources they, themselves, were working on.  Still, even if it isn't 100% accurate, it does give us a picture of what was going on beyond just the royal family. I think it is also helpful to understand some of the overall court dynamics.  If you are familiar with the Heian period, especially around the time of things like the Tale of Genji, you are probably well acquainted with the Fujiwara family—I'll probably need to do an entire episode just on them at some point.  Essentially, there would come a time where almost the entire court was made up either of royals or of members of the Fujiwara clan, or uji.  In fact, even that distinction wasn't really accurate as the Fujiwara family had so intermarried with the Royal family that every sovereign—every Tennou and even most of their consorts—were directly related to members of the Fujiwara.  Not only that, but members of the Fujiwara family held the position of regent—whether the sovereign was of age or not—and effectively ruled the country, with the Tennou being largely relegated to a mouthpiece with ceremonial duties.  It would get so bad that we would see the splitting of the Fujiwara uji into smaller households, and the political fights were often between members of the different households of the same family.  There is a reason that a good portion of the Heian period is sometimes called the Fujiwara period. However, now during the late Asuka period, we see something a little different.  The marriage politics of the Soga had been violently suppressed about a half century earlier, and a lot of different names flourished in the Yamato court, as youmay have noticed any time I've rattled off a bunch of names and your eyes started crossing because of it.  But that's the reality we see: there were a lot of different families, and individuals, all jockeying for influence.  And they were in a period of disruption, where lots of change was happening.  That change meant there was also a lot of potential. And I hope you don't mind if I take a quick time-out here, but so often we read history and we forget to learn lessons from it, and one overarching lesson is:  if you are a part of an organization—a company, a club, government, school, or anything like that—one thing you are going to have to deal with is change.  It comes in many forms and happens whether or not you personally agree with it. It can be destructive and it can be frightening, because we often don't know what is on the other side of it, but it also presents opportunities.  After all, if you don't know what comes next it probably means other people don't, either.  And if you can be the one to provide direction you can have a huge influence on what comes next.  And change has been a constant theme in this period of Yamato history, in so many ways.  Take the reorganization of the government as one example: they had introduced these 8 departments, which had names and were set up in various ways, but it wasn't like you had experienced people to run them as they had been on the continent.  So you had names and the forms of things, but there were a lot of people figuring out just how to actually put this new structure into practice, and leverage them to do what they were supposed to do.  In the process, there were a lot of opportunities to innovate and figure out how to do it within the cultural milieu of the archipelago.  So all of these individuals, from these various families, all had opportunities staring them in the face.  They just had to figure out how to make the best of it. Now, don't get me wrong:  Those with the money, the connections, and the influence still had a leg up, and this was still a hierarchical society, where your family dictated, to some extent, your position in society.  The introduction of individual court rank, as opposed to just the kabane that ranked uji, was pushing against that, and had already caused a reformation that flattened a lot of the previous kabane into just eight distinctions, but those distinctions still existed.  Even had they not, simple matters of inherited wealth and the value of goods produced in a family's home territory would still have provided tremendous advantages.  But there isn't an indication of the kind of large-scale consolidation of resources that we will see in later periods, such as the Fujiwara example that we were just discussing.  Oh, sure, we aren't going to see a farmer suddenly make it big at court in some kind of rags-to-riches story, but at the upper end of society we still have a lot of apparent diversity. And so, let's get to know some of these individuals that the Chronicles tell us about.  Before we do that, though, let's recap a little bit about how the court worked. Every member of the court was effectively employed by the State.  They had an official job with duties they were supposed to oversee.  In the case of lower level functionaries, they were likely expected to actually do most of the work, while at the top of the hierarchy you had nobles who were more likely decision-makers, who would approve or disapprove of the work and direct strategic resources. Those working in the court had official uniforms—the round-necked garments of the continent.  What would be called a "caftan" farther west.  These were based on the foreign garments popular in the Tang court and elsewhere. The color and pattern of official clothing appears to be something that goes back to early in this new continental style government, and we see suggestions of color schemes from a relatively early age.  However, in 690 we see the clearest such outline of just what everyone was wearing. As a reminder, the court rank system of the day was made up of a Princely and a Commoner system.  Princely ranks originally included two ranks of the Myo class, and four of the Jou class, each rank divided into either "Great" or "Broad", for twelve Princely ranks, though honestly we only ever really see the four Jou class of ranks in use. Below that were the ranks for the common nobles—those with family names who did not have any kind of royal claim.    For them there were six classes of rank—Shou, Jiki, Gon, Mu, Tsui, and Shin, in that order.  Each class was made up of four ranks, which were further divided into upper and broad categories, creating 48 total ranks. Your rank determined your precedence at court—where you were sat, what jobs you were allowed to take on and, most importantly, the amount of money that you could expect to receive as part of a stipend.  Naka no Oe had previously consolidated the land-holdings and asserted claim over all of it.  The taxes from the households on the land went to the government to pay the stipends of the nobles in the court, who were, ostensibly, employees of that same government.  Your rank determined what you were owed, though this could also be augmented by various edicts. So there you go: rank in the court was tied to many of the things that the elites wanted, from wealth to status and access to various opportunities. The color of official clothing followed the rank system.  So Princes of the first two ranks of the Jou class were given robes of dark purple, and the third and four ranks were given robes of bright purple, which they shared with highest class of rank of the common nobles, the Shou rank class. Below that, nobles of the Jiki class would wear robes of dark red, and those of Gon would wear dark green.  The Mu rank class, the next down, was Light Green, and then Tsui was Deep Blue and Shin was Light blue. So in order you would see robes of Dark Purple, Bright Purple, Dark Red, Dark Green, Light Green, Deep Blue, and Light Blue.  The color gave you a certain indication of where the person sat in the overall hierarchy of the court, and provided you clues as to how you should address them, who would give deference, etc.  In later centuries, we are even told that deference was given in meetings, which is to say that once a person of higher rank provided input on a topic, nobody of lower rank was able to contradict them for fear of the consequences.  So it also told you who got the last word. This then was the world that the nobles of the court inhabited.  As we've seen in previous episodes it wasn't just bureaucratic work, but also banquets, archery contests, and Buddhist congregations and sutra readings.  There were rituals, dances, and diplomatic embassies—not to mention all of the ceremonies around the death or ascension of the sovereign.  In this world, one's reputation was everything.  You wanted to be seen as good at your job, but also, just like today, people were more likely to promote and support those they knew, and so it helped to have friends.  However, there were also a limited number of top spots, and so every promotion would have likewise meant plenty of disappointed nobles who didn't get the job.  But that is enough background.  Let's take a look at some of the nobles themselves, starting with the four from the Prince Ohotsu conspiracy.   The first name in the list is perhaps the least interesting.  His name is Yakuchi no Wotokashi.  Although he was the highest ranking of the four, he is also the least mentioned in the Chronicles and elsewhere, and we know very little about him.  So we'll talk about him later on, for completeness, but for now it may be best to skip him until we have a better handle on others in the court. In contrast, we know a bit more about his co-conspirators.  In fact, we've already talked about one of them at length:  Iki no Hakatoko.  We first heard about Iki no Hakatoko when talking about the Tang dynasty, and discussed him at length in Episode 123.  He was one of the members of the embassy to the Tang dynasty back in the early 660s that got delayed on account of Tang Gaozong initiating the war against Yamato's ally Baekje.  The fact that the Nihon Shoki directly pulls from Hakatoko's work, known to us, today, as the Iki no Hakatoko Sho, makes it one of the few early named written works that we know about.  Unfortunately, it is no longer extant except for what is preserved in the Chronicles, but it is still incredible that we have essentially an eyewitness account of what happened.  He would later be one of the escort envoys for one of the Tang embassies during the reign of Naka no Oe.  That he was then embroiled in the conspiracy with Prince Ohotsu would seem to be at odds with his standing, and yet after his pardon he eventually got back into the court's good graces.  In 695, about 9 years after the incident, he was assigned as an assistant envoy to Silla.  By that point he was of Mudaini rank, which was only about 35th in the overall scheme of things.  Later on we know he would work on the famous Taiho code, which was published in 701, and enacted a couple of years later.  It was here that he worked with the famous Fujiwara no Fubito—about whom we will discuss more, later—and although he would pass away in 703, this may be how his own writings came to find their way into the Chronicles, since Fubito is said to have had a large influence on them—as he had on many of the court's projects. Overall, Iki no Hakatoko may not have been the one in charge, but we see in his life an incredible career, much of it spent on multiple voyages across the ocean, whether on an embassy or as an escort.  He likely was highly proficient in the language of the Tang court—what we typically refer to, broadly, as Middle Chinese.  He also had direct experience with the Tang court and system, and so it makes sense that he was one of those helping to build an administrative state based on that system. If we were to imagine Hakatoko in the court of the day, at least in 695, he would have likely had light green colored robes, indicating that he was of the "Mu" class of ranks.  He would have worn the black gauze cap of the court and worn white hakama, or trousers, underneath.  His long, continental style, round-necked robes—likely relatively slim, with overly long, but narrow, sleeves—would have been tied closed in the front with a braided silk cord.  He likely worn black leather boots, covered in a light lacquer to protect them from the elements, with cloth insoles and perhaps a hint of brocade along the top.  He likely kept with him a ruler, and perhaps a few slips of paper or even just wood on which to take occasional notes.  A mid-level functionary of the court. We can compare and contrast Hakatoko to two other co-conspirators:  Nakatomi no Omimaro and Kose no Tayasu. We are given neither Omimaro's rank nor Tayasu's at this time.  It is interesting that they listed after Hakatoko, who is actually listed as having "Lower Shousen" rank—an older rank that was no longer in use at this point in time.  Also, both Nakatomi and Kose were Ason level families while Iki no Hakatoko is listed as being merely "Muraji".  So it seems that the Chroniclers were probably pulling from what they could find elsewhere, although where they found that Wotokashi had Jikikwoshi rank I have no idea, as we don't have any other record for him.  And it is possible that deference to Wotokashi and Hakatoko are as much a nod to their age as anything else, though probably not by much. Of four co-conspirators mentioned here—and I'm leaving out the two who were exiled or banished, as they were clearly not hanging around the court later—Nakatomi no Omimaro and Kose no Tayasu were probably from the most established families.  Indeed, we see both of their names show up multiple times in the record, giving us a better idea of who they might have been. Of the two, the name Nakatomi probably is more likely to ring a bell, as that as the surname of the famous Nakatomi no Kamatari—as well as the later Nakatomi no Kane.   Nakatomi no Kamatari was the head of court ritual when he and Naka no Oe kicked things off with the Isshi Incident and the Taika reforms, at which point he became the "Inner Prime Minister", or Naidaijin. Much of what we know of Omimaro comes from outside of the Chronicles themselves.  For instance, we are told that he was the son of Nakatomi no Kunitari, a cousin to the famous Kamatari, at least according to the 10th century Engi Shiki.  However, we have no other records of Kunitari, and so there is more than a little doubt cast as to whether or not that was actually the case.  Similarly, we are told that Omimaro married one of Kamatari's daughters, and was eventually adopted by Kamatari. Once again, the evidence for this is pretty thin, and it is unclear to me just how adoption worked at this point.  Certainly in later periods, adoption was often a way to ensure that a family had a male heir to ensure the family's continuity, and marrying someone's daughter and being adopted into the family is an age old tradition in the archipelago and Japan more generally.  At the same time, give some thought to what we know about this period: male primogeniture was not exactly the norm, although Confucian values had definitely made inroads into court.   The family headship often went to the eldest—or most prominent—family member.  This wasn't necessarily a son and often was a brother, a nephew, or even a cousin.  We have a few famous Nakatomi at this point in time, and all I can say for certain is that they were part of the same family.  Later traditions would make things a bit more clear. Whatever his parentage, our first encounter with Omimaro appears to be in the Ohotsu conspiracy, when he was arrested and then pardoned.  He shows up again in the record just three years later, along with Kose no Tayasu, as both were made judges, along with Fujiwara no Fubito—Nakatomi no Kamatari's biological son and eventual heir. In fact, there were nine judges, or magistrates, made that year, and they are listed in rank order.  The first is Prince Takeda, said to be a great-grandson of Nunakura, aka Bidatsu Tennou.  He was Joukwoshi rank, meaning he wore bright purple court robes, sitting in the lower half of the princely ranks.  He had been quite prolific ever since 681, when he was one of the Princes called to help bring together the Chronicles.  After being made a judge, he would continue in that position, it seems, and by 708 he would become the head of the Ministry of Prisons. After him we have Haji no Nemaro, in the dark red robes of the Jiki rank class.  Though someone of rank, less is known about Nemaro.  His father is said to be Haji no Mi, who was part of the forces that set out to Yamada-dera to capture—and likely kill—Soga no Kurayamadera.  Haji no Nemaro's son is Haji no Oi, who was sent to the Tang court but returned in 684, along with several repatriated soldiers.  Oi would assist with the Taihou code, but little more is said about him or his father. Other judges were Ohoyake no Maro, Fujiwara no Fubito—also of the Jiki class rank. Maro would go on to take a job as a jusenshi, responsible for minting coins, and Fubito would go on to reach the highest levels of government. Then there was Tahema no Sakurawi, Hodzumi no Yamamori, Nakatomi no Omimaro, Kose no Tayasu, and Ohomiwa no Yasumaro.  They were all Mudaishi rank at this point, wearing dark green.  Sakurai would go on to become the governor of Ise in 705, and then the governor of Musashi in 708.  Hodzumi no Yamamori we don't have as much information on, other than that he kept climbing the ranks, by 704 he had made Junior 5th rank, lower grade in the system that replaced the cap-ranks, and by 712 he made it to the senior fifth rank, lower grade. Ohomiwa no Yasumaro, on the other hand, would make it to the Senior 5th rank, lower grade by 707, and the upper grade by 708, when he was made the Dayu—the high minister in charge—of Settsu.  He would eventually make it into the Junior Fourth rank, upper grade, as the Minister of the Military Department, or Hyobu-sho. So this gives you an idea of the people with whom Nakatomi no Omimaro and Kose no Tayasu were rubbing elbows.  That they were made judges, responsible for justice, seems to say something as that would seem to be a powerful position.  At the same time, they are both lower ranked than the much younger Fujiwara no Fubito—but once again, he was the direct son of Nakatomi no Kamatari.  He also seems to have avoided any unpleasantness from the Jinshin no Ran as he was only 14 at the time, and though it does seem that the Nakatomi were generally knocked down a peg or two in court—thanks in large part  to the fact that Nakatomi no Kane had been one of the leaders of the Afumi court.  That and the whole thing with Prince Ohotsu may be why Omimaro was not exactly in the top ranks, but his appointments weren't nothing, either.  By 693, Omimaro would be granted the rank of Jikikwoshi, the lower fourth rank of the Jiki class.  In that entry he is recorded as Fujiwara no Omimaro.  I believe we discussed this a few episodes back, but the Fujiwara name was still new.  It had been granted to Nakatomi no Kamatari on his deathbed—or possibly even posthumously—by Naka no Oe, and to his family.  So technically that would seem to extend to the entire Nakatomi family.  And with Nakatomi no Kane having been one of the main figures on the losing side of the Jinshin no Ran, it was no doubt a savvy political move for Nakatomi courtiers to lean into the Fujiwara name, and they seem to have done just that.  It wouldn't be until later, in the reign just following this, that a new decree would straighten everything out, such that only the actual descendants of Fujiwara no Kamatari, such as Fujiwara no Fubito, would be allowed to use the Fujiwara name. Throughout this, I have focused mostly on Omimaro, but Kose no Tayasu was in the mix as well.  He, too, was made a judge and in 693 he would also be awarded the same Jikikwoshi rank.  In addition, in 689, he was made a "commissioner of good words", along with the Royal Prince Shiki and others.  This seems to be a singular position, and Aston suggests that it was their job to figure out the kind of auspicious language that should be used in the court.  What kind of language should be used by the sovereign and the courtiers in drawing up official edicts.  I imagine that they were figuring out the form to give to formal court documents as well as the kinds of titles and honorifics to use for the sovereign and the state more generally.  Of course, that is just an assumption based on Aston's understanding of what is, ultimately, a single line.  Still, it is clear that Tayasu was helping to make things happen. Tayasu would eventually go on to become the Minister of the Department of Ceremonies, the Shikibu-sho, and would later serve as a secretary to the Viceroy in Tsukushi—the Dazai Daini.  He would pass away in 710, one year before Omimaro. Before leaving Tayasu behind completely, I would like to point out his family name:  Kose.  The Kose family were one of the families granted the kabane of Ason, or Asaomi.  They had previously been known as the Kose no Omi, and had a long history in the court, claiming descent from the famous Takeuchi no Sukune, legendarily known as the first Oho-omi of Yamato.  Kose no Tokuda had been a supporter of Soga no Iruka, but after the Isshi Incident he supported Naka no Oe and eventually replace Abe no Uchimaro as Sadaijin—Minister of the Left.  Another Kose, Kose no Hito, would also rise in the government, becoming one of two Goshi-daibu made when Prince Ohotomo was appointed Dajodaijin.  The other was Ki no Ushi.  They were both in attendance and counted among the six who swore to protect and support Ohotomo, along with Nakatomi no Kane and others.  So they, too, found themselves on the wrong side of the Jinshin no Ran. In this case, however, it is unclear how much Tayasu was impacted by that.  He may have been the son of Kose no Shitano, brother to Kose no Hito, but the Kose were prolific in the court, with many people of the name.  The family would continue going through the Heian period.  Their fortunes ebbed and flowed, as did so many families, but they would eventually find themselves as Hatamoto to the Tokugawa shogun, so they never actually disappeared. Finally, let's talk about Yakuchi no Wotokashi.  As I mentioned earlier, he is actually one of the first names mentioned in the list of co-conspirators with Prince Ohotsu, suggesting that he outranked others in the group.  Indeed, he is noted as being of Jikikwoshi rank—fourth lower Jiki rank.  The bottom of the Jiki class, but that was still the third class from the top.  However, despite this, very little is actually said about him.  In fact, this is the only instance I could find of the name Yakuchi in the Nihon Shoki, at least in that spelling—there is also a Yakuchi no Uneme, but it is spelled differently and is probably not related.  It is also the only evidence of the name Wotokashi.  That means we don't even see him in the list of names being granted Ason in the first place. It is quite possible that Yakuchi was a name he took later and that he was from another family.  Indeed, there are a couple of traditions around Wotokashi that suggest he was the founder of the Yakuchi family in Shinano.  Indeed, there is a Yakuchi family that comes out of Shinano, near Adzumino.  And Shinano was one of the places that Ohoama had sent people to examine as another site for an alternative capital, and Prince Mino and others had gone to check it out.  So maybe Wotokashi headed out there—or his descendants, anyway—and decided to try and make a go of it.  Proponents of this theory also connect Wotokashi to a line descended from the Soga family, which would certainly explain his prominence.  There are others, however, who claim that the Yakuchi family out of Shinano is actually descended from the Otomo, suggesting that the similarities in the name are just coincidental, which is also possible.  Ultimately, our sources fail us here, and so we just have speculation.  It is possible that even with the pardon, Wotokashi was just never able to regain the trust of the sovereign or his position in court, and so whether he took a hike for the hinterlands or just faded from the picture it is hard to say. With that, let's take a look at just two more courtiers, and what kinds of lives and careers they had at court, at least from what we can see.  These two we've also mentioned in passing:  Fuse no Miushi—whom Aston transliterates as Miaruji—and Ohotomo no Miyuki. Fuse no Miushi and Ohotomo no Miyuki were both mentioned as performing eulogies for Ohoama, though there is more to them than just that.  We'll start with Fuse no Miushi, who is said to have been the son of none other than the Taika era Sadaijin, or Minister of the Left, Abe no Uchimaro.  You may recall that Abe no Uchimaro was the Sadaijin under Karu no Ohokimi, aka Koutoku Tennou, along with the Udaijin, Soga no Kurayamadera.  They were both supporters of Naka no Oe, though much of the Chronicles focus appeared to be more on Kurayamadera than on Uchimaro. We don't know when Miushi was born, nor when he received the name "Fuse", the name by which he is known when we first meet him in the Chronicles.  That family name only shows up two other times in the Chronicles.  Based on other sources, it seems that the Abe family was divided at some point into the Fuse and the Hikida, likely because it became too large and they needed to distinguish the different parts of the family.  It is said that Fuse no Miushi served as a retainer to Ohoama during the Jinshin no Ran.  That, along with his family connections, helped secure him a good place in the government.  By 686, we see him pronouncing the eulogy for Ohoama's funeral on behalf of the Dajokan, the Counil of State.  He was already Jikidaishi, one rank above the standard Jikikwoshi, but still clothed in the same dark red robes.  In 687, he is again pronouncing the eulogy, but this time we are told that his a Nagon, or councilor, a rather prestigious posting that would later get broken up into three different levels:  Dainagon, Chunagon, and Shonagon.  For my Heian fans out there, that last is the same Shonagon as in the name of the famous poet, author, diary-keeper, and all around queen of snark, Sei Shonagon.  By 688, pronouncing the Eulogy seems to have become an annual event for Miushi, only this time he teamed up with Ohotomo no Miyuki.  The two of them seem to have had similar careers, and would, for a time, come up together through the ranks. Ohotomo no Miyuki is said to have been born in 646, though that isn't recorded in the Nihon Shoki and comes from other sources.  The Ohotomo family goes back quite a ways, and we are told that his father was Ohotomo no Nagatoko, who served as Minister of the Right under Naka no Oe.  However, in 672, the Ohotomo, including Miyuki, sided with Ohoama in the Jinshin no ran.  In 675 he was made Tayu while Prince Kurikuma was made Director of Military Affairs.  He then drops out of the narrative until 688, when he is pronouncing the eulogy with Fuse no Miushi. Miushi would go on, two years later, to present the formal congratulations from the court to the Queen upon her ascencion to the throne, and then the following year, 691, both Miushi and Miyuki were granted the rank of Jikidaiichi, the highest rank in the Jiki class, along with 80 households to support them and their families.  This brought both of their stipends up to roughly 300 households each.  Then, in 694, they were both raised in rank again, this time to Shoukwoushi.  Only one rank up, yet they went from the top of the Jiki class to the bottom of the Shou class.  They would have gotten new robes of Bright Purple to indicate their new status, and they each had their stipends increased by the taxes of 200 households each.  At the same time, they were also acknowledged as senior members of their houses.  That means that Miushi was considered the head of the Fuse branch of the Abe family and Miyuki was now acknowledged as the head of the entire Ohotomo family. Two years after that, in 696, they were each given 80 retainers to support them.  Fuse no Miushi is actually mentioned at that time as Abe no Miushi.  That same year, we again see Fujiwara no Fubito show up, but with only 50 retainers.  Fubito would eventually rise to the top of the court food chain, but at this point, it was still in the hands of courtiers like Fuse no Abe no Miushi and Ohotomo no Miyuki. Fuse no Miushi would go on to have an incredible career.  He would become Dainagon and eventually he would become the Udaijin, the Minister of the Right, one of the highest positions anyone could hope to achieve at court. Ohotomo no Miyuki would not make it quite so far.  Like Miushi, he made it to Dainagon, but he died in the first month of 701, just 55 years old.  He had made it to the third rank, and he was posthumously granted the title of Udaijin—the position was vacant at the time—and granted second rank.  His colleague, Abe no Miushi, would go on to take the position only four months later and serve for a couple of years before passing away himself. These two would have worked closely together throughout their careers, and the fact that they were raised in rank and position on similar timelines suggests to me that they ran together in very close circles.  They would have been working in similar positions, at the same levels of the government.  They would have been going to the same parties and partaking in the same banquets and entertainments.   They were no doubt rivals, in a sense, but also equals.  Both families would go on, even as the Fujiwara clan came to dominate the politics of the era, the Ohotomo and Abe would continue to hold power in the court during the Nara period, though eventually it would decline.  The Ohotomo would eventually become just the Tomo, to avoid conflicting with the name of a slater sovereign, and the main house would eventually decline, though branch families would continue to claim descent from the Ohotomo into to the Edo period. The Abe would continue, similarly pushing against the Fujiwara.  The most famous Abe was probably Abe no Seimei, who became known for his skills as an Onmyouji, or master of Yin-yang divination and magic.  The Tsuchimikado branch of the Abe family would continue that tradition, and it would come to largely define the main branch of the family. I hope that gives a bit of an idea of what was going on in the court and the kinds of careers that people were looking at and what was happening.  We cannot get into every single person, but I'm going to try and note some of the more prominent courtiers and what they were doing.  It isn't always clear from the Chronicles what was going on between the various houses, but one can largely assume that the court was highly political.  Different factions were vying for power and position.  Sitting atop all of it, Uno no Sarara would have to perform her own kind of balancing act, doling out rewards and punishments as necessary, and ensuring to place the right people in positions of power and authority.  On the one hand, that ambition was a motivating factor, keeping the people of the court focused on the tasks at hand and ensuring that the court was running smoothly.  On the other hand, too much power in the hands of any one individual could cause them to get ideas that they should have even more.  The main bulwark against this was everyone else in the system—the checks and balances were literally the other court nobles, who weren't going to just let someone  take power unless there was something in it for them as well.  More on that as we watch this reign unfold.

Steyerl, Hito www.deutschlandfunkkultur.de, Interview

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 Virginia Supreme Court also stepped in to stop a citizen-approved gerrymander, which would have countered the Republican redistricting across the country, on nonsense procedural grounds. Lastly, the boys return to Michigan to discuss a $5 million dark money campaign to force us to listen to ads in support of Haley Stevens (D-Tel Aviv).Early access on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/headintheofficepodSubstack: https://headintheoffice.substack.com/HITO Merch: https://headintheoffice.com/ YouTube: 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: headintheofficepod@gmail.com(0:00) Netanyahu outflanks the Democrats(7:55) Intro/announcement(32:55) Dark money & the MI Senate race(43:30) Iran/Lebanon/Israel updates & more Netanyahu interview(1:07:20) Reviews/endingSeen on this episode:Gerrymandering & its discontents - https://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/08/us/politics/virginia-redistricting-supreme-court.html Israel & Lebanonhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/05/09/world/middleeast/israel-strikes-lebanon-ceasefire.htmlhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gL2jFwZ16xoDark money & the Michigan Senate Race - https://www.detroitnews.com/story/news/politics/2026/05/09/haley-stevens-mystery-group-aipac-spending-5-million-senate-primary/90008526007/?gnt-cfr=1&gca-cat=p&gca-uir=true&gca-epti=z116749p119850l003950c119850e1167xxv116749d--46--b--46--&gca-ft=205&gca-ds=sophi

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 gutted the Voting Rights Act as well as a roundup of Iran news. Later, Abraham Aiyash, candidate for Michigan's 1st State Senate district and democratic socialist, joins the show to discuss money in politics, the Michigan Democratic Convention, the party's inability to reckon with foreign policy failures, the uncommitted movement, and more. Pod Save interview with Ken Martin: https://youtu.be/h8IwrO-03WU?si=eZTJavpaHr5Rwl4T Support Abe: https://voteaiyash.com/Early access on 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_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: headintheofficepod@gmail.com(0:00) Anti-Hasan Piker resolution in Congress(6:15) Intro(9:30) Ken Martin totally flubs interview(31:10) SCOTUS guts the VRA(36:06) Brief Iran updates: gas prices, negotiations, etc.(41:40) Interview with Abe Aiyash(1:25:15) Reviews/endingSeen on this episode:Anti-Hasan Piker resolution - https://www.timesofisrael.com/us-house-to-consider-resolution-condemning-hasan-piker-candace-owens-for-antisemitism/https://gottheimer.house.gov/posts/release-reps-gottheimer-and-lawler-introduce-bipartisan-resolution-condemning-antisemitic-rhetoric-from-prominent-online-personalitiesSCOTUS guts the VRA - https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/supreme-court/supreme-court-limits-use-race-redistricting-win-republicans-rcna245856 https://www.npr.org/2026/04/30/g-s1-119496/up-first-newsletter-pentagon-iran-war-jerome-powell-scotus-voting-rights-wildfire-fuel-costsIran updates - https://www.cnn.com/2026/04/30/world/live-news/iran-war-news

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,” prompting the HITO boys to dissect the double standard between right-wing criticism of Democrats and vice versa.

A más de 8.800 metros, donde el cuerpo comienza a apagarse, avanzó sin cuerdas fijas ni apoyo directo, enfrentándose al frío extremo y a la hipoxia. Aquel ascenso redefinió los límites del alpinismo y de la resistencia humana. No era solo conquistar la montaña más alta del planeta, sino sobrevivir a ella en las condiciones más hostiles imaginables.

The HITO boys dive into the failed peace talks between the US and Iran headed by JD Vance. Trump responded to the failure by announcing a US blockade of the already blocked Strait of Hormuz. It seems Trump is willing to subject the American people to maximum suffering, whether it be higher gas prices or more new tariffs — there's nothing he won't do to make things more expensive for no reason. No matter which way you slice it, it seems like the world will be a worse place because of the US and Israel's unprovoked and unpopular war. Israel is also fighting a separate war in Lebanon and despite calls for ongoing negotiations, neither war seems to have an end in sight. Early access on 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_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: headintheofficepod@gmail.com(0:00) JD Vance did NOT bring peace to the Middle East(12:30) Intro/reviews(22:20) JD Vance got nothing from Iran(36:55) Trump blockading a blockade(55:20) Israel wants continued war(59:20) JStreet changes its stances(1:12:35) Eric Swalwell drops out(1:15:05) Ending/reviewsSeen on this episode:Iran negotiations fall apart - https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/12/us/politics/vance-iran-talks.htmlhttps://www.cnbc.com/2026/04/12/trump-iran-war-strait-of-hormuz.htmlhttps://thehill.com/policy/international/5827704-us-iran-strait-hormuz-mines/https://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/11/us/politics/us-navy-warships-strait-of-hormuz-iran-mines.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/04/10/us/politics/iran-mines-strait.html#:~:text=Strait%20of%20Hormuz-,Iran%20Unable%20to%20Find%20Mines%20It%20Planted%20in%20Strait%20of,their%20war%20against%20the%20country

Cecilia Herruzo, Directora Desarrollo de Negocio y Abaco Renta Fija Mixta Global, viene a nuestro programa para hablar del último hito de la compañía: han superado los 100 millones de euros en patrimonio. ¿Qué significa este hito para la gestora? “Superar los 100 millones de euros en patrimonio ha sido un hito importante”, afirma la invitada. Además añade que “la gestora en general ha pasado los 200 millones de euros, nos podemos colocar en un escalón más” y también “agradecen a los partícipes que son los que han depositado la confianza en ellos”. La Directora Desarrollo de Negocio y Abaco Renta Fija Mixta Global, analiza el funcionamiento de los fondos y los factores que han impulsado el crecimiento del fondo en los últimos meses. “Uno de los factores más importantes en el impulso de los fondos es la rentabilidad”, afirma la invitada. Aunque añade que “la rentabilidad en sí no significa nada sino lleva un proceso de análisis muy riguroso, con mucha consistencia”. Una de las claves del éxito, para ella, es que ahora son más conocidos, lo que les permite llegar cada vez más a más gente. Con el Abaco Renta Fija Mixta Global, en la empresa son líderes en su categoría Morningstar, ¿qué les diferencia frente a otros fondos mixtos globales? “La diferencia más importante es el proceso de inversión que tenemos y cómo seleccionamos los activos”, apunta Cecilia Herruzo. ¿Cómo funciona este fondo en concreto? La experta nos explica que “el fondo puede invertir hasta un 70% en renta fija, principalmente en deudas de empresas, bonos corporativos y el 30% restante se puede invertir en renta variable”. Añade también que desde la empresa lo que hacen es “hacer un estudio muy riguroso de todo lo que se vaya a invertir, ya que en renta fija se estudia mucho la compañía o los equipos gestores”.

The HITO boys give a semi-brief update on the war with Iran, particularly pertaining to the Strait of Hormuz and its openness (shout out Pete Hegseth), Israel is launching a ground invasion into Lebanon, and our Democrats still can't catch a vibe and oppose this war.

The HITO boys are back to talk about Lindsey Graham's insane statements on Fox News, mines in the Strait of Hormuz, Iran's attacks on oil tankers and infrastructure, Oil market volatility and what it means for gas prices, and what OUR democrats are doing about it all (nothing). Senate Democrats got together to write a strongly worded letter about our bombing of an Iranian girls' school. But we have to wonder, does a strongly worded letter mean anything when centrists are considering further funding the war? 18 of OUR Democrats voted to confirm yet another Trump pick, this time for NSA director.

The HITO men continue to discuss developments in the United States and Israel's war with Iran. Civilian infrastructure is now being targeted by all parties, Ayatollah Khamenei's son was selected as the new Ayatollah in a move that is functionally a double down on the Iranian side of the war, our Democrats continue to do functionally nothing, South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham apparently gave Netenyahu tips on how to persuade him into striking Iran, and gas prices for us all are going up thanks to the Strait or Hormuz closure.

The HITO men continue to discuss the war with Iran: how expensive it is, how long it will last, and its human costs. Nobody seems to have their story straight on whether the very obvious regime change is a regime change or not. Marco Rubio gave us a not-so-rare peak behind the curtain when he told reporters Israel dragged us into this and Pete Hegseth is being endlessly corny. Considering the massive cost attached to this war (possibly $50 billion+), the HITO men of course take time to talk about our Democrats who may vote to fund it. Early access on 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_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: headintheofficepod@gmail.com(0:00) Senator injures protesting Marine veteran(3:50) Intro/reviews(11:45) WAR IN IRAN IS BAD(44:00) What are MY Democrats up to?(1:07:58) Extras: Anthropic vs DOD, attacks on trans folks in Kansas(1:16:25) Ending/reviewsSeen on this episode:Iran updates - https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/how-many-people-have-been-killed-us-israel-war-iran-2026-03-03/ https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/5/israeli-strikes-hit-beirut-amid-threats-on-iranian-officials-in-lebanonhttps://www.politico.com/news/2026/03/04/democrats-iran-supplemental-funding-00813547https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2026/03/03/how-trumps-war-with-iran-could-have-already-cost-over-1-billion/https://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/iran-war-could-cost-billions-144909964.htmlhttps://www.syracuse.com/politics/2026/03/see-what-trump-and-hegseth-had-to-say-about-american-troops-in-iran.htmlhttps://www.americanprogress.org/article/the-trump-administrations-reckless-war-in-iran-has-already-cost-more-than-5-billion/https://fortune.com/2026/03/04/iran-conflict-could-swap-one-bad-leader-for-another-200-billion-dollar-cost/https://www.axios.com/2026/03/05/iran-leader-trump-khameneiKansas anti-trans billhttps://www.cnn.com/2026/03/05/us/kansas-trans-drivers-license-bathroom-law

Born just in time to deploy to the Middle East! The HITO men talk about Trump's newly launched war with Iran. They dismantle the lackluster justifications the Trump administration is proposing for why the war is a good idea and dive into the various statements from moderate Democrats that somewhat endorse Trump's horrible actions. Early access on 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_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: headintheofficepod@gmail.com(0:00) JD Vance believes nothing(5:20) Intro/reviews(11:54) War with Iran(53:40) How are Democrats responding?(1:28:11) Ending/reviewsSeen on this episode:US-Israel-Iran War - https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5758310-vance-defends-iran-strikes/ https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/3/1/us-israel-attacks-on-iran-death-toll-and-injuries-live-tracker https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2026/2/28/peace-within-reach-as-iran-agrees-no-nuclear-material-stockpile-oman-fm

Sexta Rendición de Cuentas, del presidente de la República Dominicana, Luis Abinader, realizada el 27 de febrero de 2026 ante la Asamblea Nacional, coincidiendo con el 182 aniversario de la Independencia Nacional.. A continuación, un resumen de los puntos más destacados del discurso: Economía y Social. * Reducción de la Pobreza: El mandatario afirmó que la pobreza general en el país bajó del 19% al 17.3% entre 2024 y 2025, lo que significa que aproximadamente 200,000 dominicanos salieron de esa condición. * Programas Sociales: Se destacó el fortalecimiento del programa Supérate. A través de "Aliméntate", se beneficiaron cerca de 1.5 millones de familias con una inversión de más de RD$ 28,900 millones. * Zonas Francas: Las exportaciones del sector superaron los US$ 8,500 millones, representando el 54% del total exportado por el país. Salud y Bienestar. * Hito en Salud: Abinader proclamó el 2025 como un año histórico, destacando que no se reportaron muertes por dengue durante ese año. * Infraestructura Sanitaria: Se inauguraron 30 establecimientos de salud con una inversión superior a los RD$ 2,600 millones y se anunció la meta de tener 8 hospitales traumatológicos para 2028 (con nuevos centros en Azua e Higüey). * Mortalidad: Reportó una reducción de la mortalidad infantil en un 18.9% y la neonatal en un 15.3%. Justicia y Transparencia. * Lucha contra la corrupción: Reafirmó que la transparencia es el "pilar" de su gestión, declarando que en su gobierno "no existen intocables" y que nadie está por encima de la ley. * Caso SENASA: Hizo alusión a investigaciones en curso, prometiendo recuperar "cada peso" que haya sido sustraído del erario. Proyectos y Futuro. * Innovación: Sorprendió con el anuncio de que, antes de mayo de 2028, se planea lanzar un satélite al espacio desde Pedernales como parte del desarrollo de la industria aeroespacial dominicana. * Agenda Femenina: Se enfocó en tres ejes: reducción de embarazos en adolescentes, lucha contra la violencia de género y mayor inserción laboral para las mujeres. ¿Crees que el PRM ha sido un buen gobierno?Conviértete en un supporter de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/radio-ebenezer-rd-emisora-cristiana--3279340/support.

The HITO men talk about the seemingly impending war with Iran and Trump's illegal tariffs. The US military build-up near Iran is reaching 2003 and 1991 levels, and if there's one thing we know about military build-ups, it's that they don't happen for nothing. Trump's might makes right politics amid nuclear “negotiations” may drag us into yet another war in the Middle East! Also discussed is Trump's infatuation with Tariffs. Despite the 6-3 SCOTUS ruling deeming his liberation day tariffs illegal, Trump is doing everything he can to raise prices on everything you want to buy. Early access on 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_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: headintheofficepod@gmail.com(0:00) Tucker Carlson does actual journalism???(13:28) Intro/reviews(19:00) War looming with Iran(40:30) Tariff talk(1:05:11) DNC report leak, Gaza was a major issue for Harris(1:09:09) Kash Patel, the goofiest man on the planet(1:13:05) Ending/reviewsSeen on this episode: Tariffs - https://www.forbes.com/sites/alisondurkee/2026/02/21/trump-has-backup-plan-after-supreme-court-overturns-tariffs-heres-how-far-he-could-go/https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2026/feb/20/what-will-happen-to-trump-tariffs-after-supreme-court-verdicthttps://www.npr.org/2026/02/20/nx-s1-5720826/trump-calls-scotus-tariffs-decision-deeply-disappointing-and-lays-out-path-forwardhttps://www.npr.org/2026/02/20/nx-s1-5672383/supreme-court-tariffshttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/20/business/supreme-court-tariffs-refunds.html Iran - https://www.reuters.com/business/media-telecom/trump-curious-why-iran-has-not-capitulated-amid-us-military-buildup-says-witkoff-2026-02-22/ https://www.ndtv.com/world-news/us-military-buildup-around-iran-like-dantes-inferno-ex-nato-commander-us-navy-admiral-james-g-stavridis-11124113

The HITO men talk about what seems like the first person to face accountability for the latest Epstein Files drop in the former Prince of England, Andrew Windsor. Zohran Mamdani was also in the news this week with two possible plans to balance the NYC budget: tax the rich, or tax everyone else. The show is wrapped up with talk of a possible war with Iran and Jared of Arabia. Early access on 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_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: headintheofficepod@gmail.comTimestamps(0:00) JD Vance being a cornball at the Board of Peace(5:22) Intro/reviews(10:06) "Prince" Andrew gets arrested, then released(26:30) Mamdani, budget battle, and more(45:30) War with Iran(1:03:35) Extras: Colbert & Crockett drama, awesome MAHA video(1:14:57) Ending/reviewsSeen on this episode: Former Prince Andrew arrested - https://www.nbcnews.com/world/united-kingdom/former-prince-andrew-arrested-epstein-files-revelations-rcna259691https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/andrew-windsor-officially-no-longer-a-prince-after-king-formally-strips-title-for-epstein-ties#:~:text=Turn%20on%20desktop%20notifications?,'%22Mamdani's New York - https://www.thecity.nyc/2026/02/17/mamdani-property-taxes-reform-budget-hochul/https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/28/nyregion/mamdani-budget.htmlhttps://www.nytimes.com/2026/02/18/nyregion/homeless-encampment-mamdani-nyc.htmlhttps://www.thecity.nyc/2026/02/17/rent-freeze-board-mamdani-regulated-apartments/Iran - https://www.npr.org/2026/02/19/nx-s1-5719071/iran-us-gunboat-diplomacy-nuclear-talks-in-balancehttps://www.nbcnews.com/world/iran/us-iran-hold-high-stakes-nuclear-talks-geneva-threat-war-looms-rcna259304

The HITO boys talk about Pam Bondi's insane crashout while testifying in front of Congress on the Epstein files and other matters pertaining to the DOJ. Bondi may be the most shameless woman on the planet as she deflects away from important questions about Epstein's alleged associates to glaze Trump and lob straws at immigrants. They also talk about the rising surveillance state as it pertains to Ring's dystopian Super Bowl ad and what that may mean for everyday people. Lastly...

The HITO boys are back, this time to once again chronicle what has been a years worth of news that happened over the weekend. Trump once again finds himself at the center of another Epstein files drop as Todd Blanche reaffirms that the insane information revealed will lead to no new prosecutions. The government also partially shutdown this past weekend over DHS funding, but my Democrats love to cave so who knows what will come of that.

Homan is calling for a drawback of forces but it may just be to save face for the mass deportation effort that is growing more unpopular by the minute. Related to the unpopularity of recent events, there's been reported infighting within the administration with Kristi Noem trying to duck accountability and blame Trump and Stephen Miller for the heat she's been getting. And of course the HITO boys dive into exactly what OUR Democrats are doing.

The HITO boys discuss the tragic murder of Alex Pretti at the hands of CBP amid ICE's mass deportation effort in Minneapolis. The right-wing griftsphere knows no bounds as conservative influencers and Trump administration officials come up with deranged lies to make you believe what happened to Alex Pretti was fine and cool. On the flip side, OUR democrats are useless, and the boys also take a look at what OUR Democrats have been saying, including former president Barack Obama. Subscribe to second channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3UoTN328OA7fK2dzicP-ZAEarly access on 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: headintheofficepod@gmail.comSeen on this episode: Immigration enforcement takes another life – https://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/24/shutdown-senate-democrats-minneapolis-shooting-00745642 https://www.nytimes.com/2026/01/24/us/politics/second-ice-shooting-minneapolis.html https://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/24/shutdown-senate-democrats-minneapolis-shooting-00745642 https://www.newsweek.com/abolish-ice-republican-support-minnesota-11414059?utm_source=reddit&utm_campaign=reddit_influencershttps://nypost.com/2026/01/26/us-news/trump-sending-border-czar-tom-homan-to-minnesota-amid-unrest/

Get ready to learn Chinese buddy! The HITO boys return to talk about the World Economic Forum and how the DHS funding bill doesn't take enough away from ICE. Trump is doing everything he can to ruin all of our relationships, and people like Canadian PM Mark Carney are standing up… maybe. Democrats are getting excited about securing $20 million in funding for ICE body cams but is that really going to do anything to bring accountability to an organization that has already been brutalizing people on camera?

The HITO men are back! This time, the boys discuss to the constant influx of nonsense in Minnesota: the DOJ announced an investigation into Jacob Frey and Tim Walz, Walz put the MN national guard on standby, Trump put troops in Alaska on standby for deployment to MN, and a judge ruled that ICE can't keep brutalizing people for no reason (shocker). Amidst all the chaos, we take time to see what our Democrats are doing about it (missing the moment and fumbling rhetorical gains). Also, Trump really wants to take Greenland and wrote an insane letter about it, and the Epstein files still haven't been released. Subscribe to second channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC3UoTN328OA7fK2dzicP-ZAEarly access on 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: headintheofficepod@gmail.comSeen on this episode: MN updates - https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2026/01/17/tim-walz-mobilizes-minnesota-national-guard-amid-protests/88235378007/ https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5694955-noem-confirms-ice-review-renee-good-shooting/https://www.cnn.com/2026/01/16/politics/doj-investigation-tim-walz-jacob-freyhttps://www.cbsnews.com/news/justice-department-investigating-tim-walz-jacob-frey-minnesota/https://www.commondreams.org/news/judge-ice-minnesotahttps://www.politico.com/news/2026/01/18/trump-active-duty-troop-minnesota-deployment-00735734Greenland /tariffshttps://www.foxnews.com/world/trump-announces-escalating-tariffs-denmark-other-european-nations-force-greenland-purchase-dealhttps://www.ft.com/content/b2872a49-3d43-4a55-a483-de7b19e8e436https://apnews.com/article/greenland-denmark-us-trump-eu-tariffs-4e63efa690604004c69fc89a7c14e7c2Where my opposition party at - https://www.latimes.com/politics/story/2026-01-18/abolish-ice-messaging-is-back-is-it-any-more-likely-this-time https://federalnewsnetwork.com/congress/2026/01/senate-passes-more-spending-bills-but-homeland-security-dispute-looms/ https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/2026/01/abolish-ice-democrats-defund-police/685665/Florida deportations -  https://www.tampabay.com/news/florida/2026/01/10/florida-immigration-deportation-arrests/

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. 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: headintheofficepod@gmail.com

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. VOTE IN HITO AWARDS SHOW: https://forms.gle/xShijH2vSSFHVTAa7 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: headintheofficepod@gmail.comSeen on this episode:The Epstein Controversy Continues - https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/20/us/politics/trump-epstein-files-government-website.html https://thehill.com/homenews/administration/5658888-epstein-files-trump-documents-release/ https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/c8r38ne1x2mo https://www.cbsnews.com/news/epstein-files-redaction-over-500-pages-entirely-blacked-out/ https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/at-least-16-files-disappear-from-doj-site-for-epstein-documents-including-trump-photohttps://www.yahoo.com/news/articles/trump-fbi-spent-nearly-1-214908889.html?guccounter=1&guce_referrer=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbS8&guce_referrer_sig=AQAAAFmTXYm9P38Ku3D1Ay4vrKfTgWAUsb8oi7d8d-oKZxamtI6rJKPCp6EjhMgFj75zeJt7FV0nuNKRXIqMs74K3YFIOZE-i8nBH8JbQ2l_WQDWXifCDf4x5D1zXqhwdqPMqDM0YKMjI8C-1eYq0rwUkp98T_HK-a3h1e5xn3EJFD55https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/lawmakers-threaten-legal-action-bondi-doj-partial-release/story?id=128618210DNC hides 2024 autopsy report - https://www.politico.com/news/2025/12/18/dnc-kills-its-own-public-2024-autopsy-00697403?nid=0000015a-dd3e-d536-a37b-dd7fd8af0000&nname=playbook-pm&nrid=0000014e-f10e-dd93-ad7f-f90fbc220002 https://www.nytimes.com/2025/12/18/us/politics/dnc-2024-autopsy-democrats-ken-martin.html Bari Weiss - ​​https://apnews.com/article/60-minutes-trump-weiss-cecot-56c68d45c3d6bc7183f23aa285a70719?__vfz=medium%3Dstandalone_top_pages

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: headintheofficepod@gmail.comSeen 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: headintheofficepod@gmail.comSeen 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

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.
