Speaker 1 (00:00):
Back to business at hand. I have no idea how
we got to that kind of conversation. Sorry about you
could have just complimented my pants. It's a defined pair
of pants. Thanks for twelve. So I say, David Hogg,
you say what, uh.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
Well, yeah, I uh he's the he's a he's a
he's a politician these days, is he Isn't he?
Speaker 3 (00:22):
Yeah? He is?
Speaker 1 (00:23):
Okay, he's he's actually vice chair of the Democratic National Committee.
But that's not why people know him. I would say
he's one of the rising stars on the left. You know,
he's pretty young.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Yeah, he He obviously had something really tragic happened in
his life, which was which was he was he was
going to a school that had a horrific thing happened
to it, the worst thing that can happen in school.
Speaker 3 (00:46):
Yeah, at a school shooting.
Speaker 2 (00:49):
And he was very vocal about about being anti gun
and and anti gun violence. Yep, and has kind of
used the the public eye that that granted him to
pivot into a more public role of being an advocate
for certain things and a part of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 1 (01:09):
Okay, So I'm going to expand on what you just said,
because David Hogg had something very interesting that he posted
last night, and I want to read. David Hogg born
April twelfth, heavy late birthday, two thousand. This guy is
a literal millennium baby, born right after the turn of
the millennium. Remember when that was, Remember what it felt
(01:29):
like fearing about Y two K?
Speaker 3 (01:32):
I do.
Speaker 2 (01:32):
I got up at twelve oh one and tried my lights.
They still worked, and so I went right back to sleep. Yeah,
David Hogg wasn't born yet.
Speaker 3 (01:39):
See, he has no perspective. I don't think that's what
that means. If you didn't live.
Speaker 2 (01:42):
Through not I'm sorry if you didn't live through easy No,
this is not serious. If you didn't live through two K,
Y two K, not NBA two K. But that's something
to endure as well. If you didn't live through Y
two K, how can you really speak on any major issue? Yeah, well,
now I would argue, and I'm not saying that.
Speaker 3 (02:04):
You know, I'm with you.
Speaker 1 (02:06):
I think the worst thing that you could think of
is a school shooting. Right, But it thrust him into
the national eye, probably at least a decade or twenty
years earlier than it would have if he really wanted
to be a politician. This guy was able to co
found companies. He's the founder of the leaders We Deserve pack.
That's a money raising pack. Right. He founded a pillow company.
(02:28):
It's called Good Pillow, not my pillow. Don't get him
in that guy confused good Pillow. Wait this guy he's
a pillow guy too. He's a pillow guy. Yep, yup, yup,
look up good Pillow. He co founded Good Pillow. Also,
he was in the Time one hundred list of the
most influential people in twenty eighteen when he was a teenager.
So he was thrust into the spotlight because he was
(02:50):
so vocal about guns, gun violence, gun availability, gun control,
and it elevated him to a spot where he was
on national and he had a huge platform. How many
followers on X do you think David Hogg has?
Speaker 3 (03:06):
All I can think about is good Pillow? Now, how
many pillows does this world need?
Speaker 1 (03:10):
You know?
Speaker 3 (03:10):
Back in the day, people slept on rocks and they
were fine. They didn't have backproblems.
Speaker 1 (03:15):
Went I went camping over the weekend, I forgot my pillow.
I greatly regretted that horrific mistake on my part. Oh,
I can't even imagine. So you need pillows, you do,
but I wish I didn't. Yeah, pillows are necessary.
Speaker 3 (03:29):
So how many followers on Twitter?
Speaker 1 (03:30):
I won one million, eighty six thousand, five and thirty nine.
He's popular on the sosh. This guy, also, with that
being said, is already vice chair of the Democratic National Committee,
assumed office there with another few people under Ken Martin
(03:53):
in February of twenty twenty five. Can I make a
slightly rude assumption about David Hogg thing he also has
a giant head because the pillow company that he founded
is specific to next support. That's a man who hasn't
found a pillow that can support his giant head quite
yet until now. Just throwing that out there. It's not
(04:14):
a judgment, it's just a thought. I won't apologize. The
guy's got a huge chrome dome. You think the circumference
of his head is somehow larger than the average person,
is what you're saying?
Speaker 3 (04:26):
That'd be my guess. Why else would you make such
a pillow? I don't know. I'll stop distracting you.
Speaker 1 (04:31):
That's probably as probably making money. I mean, the fact
that it's still, you know, selling pillows, you know, must
be a good idea anyway, not to sell pillows for
David Hogg. But David hog had a very interesting and
cryptic message that he put on his social media yesterday,
and I will explain what that looked like and what
we can read from it, because this could be a
little bit of a clue as to where the Democratic
(04:53):
Party could be headed. And yes it's coming off of
the x account of a twenty five year old I'll
tell you about it coming up on news Radio eleven
to ten kfab Emery Sunger, what do we think his
office is going to do? Like? Is what is the peak?
I mean, is this guy like the ceiling for him president?
He's so young, I mean it could be right.
Speaker 2 (05:11):
At twenty five years old, he's already a figure that
many people and his party are no no and are
familiar with, and.
Speaker 3 (05:18):
He's vice chair of the DNC. I would think.
Speaker 2 (05:21):
I remember when we this was months ago, and we
were like, who who could the Democrats find as their
quote unquote Trump? And I posited him because I don't
think that's a perfect one for one. I mean, there
is no one for one. No, but here's a lot
of reasons why you could poke holes in that argument.
But he was the name I brought up.
Speaker 1 (05:40):
He's a guy that's notable because of stuff before he
got involved in politics directly. But he can't even run
for president for a decade, right, yeah, I mean he's
got to be thirty five now. He can officially run
for the House of Representatives now, so when the midterms
pop up or a special election in Florida, where his
residence is, he could, you know, for office, if that's
(06:01):
what he wants to do, or he could just be powerful,
run a pack, be one of the top officials of
the Democratic National Party and try to move the chess
pieces himself, which I guess you could make the argument
is a powerful, more powerful position to be in. He
had this on his social media yesterday, and what do
(06:21):
we read into this? That's really what the question is.
Everyone in our party says they want to start winning again,
and they do, but that simply will not be possible
with our current set of leaders, too, many of which
are asleep at the wheel, out of touch, and ineffective.
As a result, there are likely going to be stories
in the next few days and weeks about me and
(06:43):
the leaders we deserve PACK that will aim to destroy
my reputation in order to weaken this effort. Many of
them will be lies, many of them will be contortions
of the truth, because people want to maintain the status
quo even though it is not working. We cannot afford
to do that. We're not going to let that happen.
(07:04):
End quote, how do you read this? I just wonder
how he's going to sleep at night until this comes out?
Well on his pillow, of course. I just wanted to
bring the pillow up again.
Speaker 3 (07:14):
Sorry?
Speaker 1 (07:15):
Is he Is he speaking on something that he is
going to be accused of doing and he's getting out
in front of that, or is he saying we're about
to raise a ton of money to remove the old
guard of the Democratic Party.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
I think he's getting out in front of something. There's
a couple doors of possibility here. One is something bad's
about to come out, and he's trying to take as
much heat off of it as he can.
Speaker 3 (07:37):
But what would that be.
Speaker 1 (07:38):
The guy's been in a public eye since he's like
seventeen years old.
Speaker 3 (07:41):
I don't know. It could be all kinds of things.
It could be.
Speaker 2 (07:43):
It could be something very nefarious to something more, you know,
TICKI tack. But what's interesting to me is, look who
he's implicating he thinks this is gonna come from somebody
within his own party, right, the.
Speaker 3 (07:55):
People he's trying to replace in his party.
Speaker 2 (07:58):
So he's got his target set at what Nancy Pelosi?
Speaker 1 (08:01):
Yeah, uh sure, I mean name your I mean, who's
the old guard. I mean it's a twenty five year
old guy that says we're not doing good enough, we
need a new generational leaders I mean they've rejected young
leadership in this party for years. That's why you've gotten
stuck with the Clinton's, the Biden's, the Sanders as the
(08:22):
real like flag bears of what their Democratic Party are
the Tim Walls, right.
Speaker 2 (08:26):
Which is weird because this is a party that that
longs for the youth.
Speaker 1 (08:31):
Vote, and they they are selling you that they're the
cool kids. You want to be on their team because
that's what the cool kids want to be. And yet
the cool thing is Tim Kane eating some doritos or
what's his name, Tim Walls?
Speaker 3 (08:43):
Who cares?
Speaker 2 (08:43):
So nobody knows, right, what's the difference I combined the
two last failures of VPS. Oh dang, are are the
ones that failed?
Speaker 3 (08:51):
I mean, like that lost?
Speaker 1 (08:52):
Yeah? Right?
Speaker 3 (08:52):
Yeah? Is that right?
Speaker 1 (08:53):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (08:53):
That's right? Yeah. See that's right. I get stuff rights
some times. Yeah. Tim Kane with Hillary's vice president.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
Also his name was Tim two. Yeah, they're real Tim,
Tim number one and Tim number two.
Speaker 3 (09:02):
Yeah.
Speaker 2 (09:02):
They put them back into the Muppet lab and they
and they're gonna make a new one for twenty twenty eight.
They be a brand new muppet. They basically look the
same too.
Speaker 1 (09:10):
It's kind of interesting when you look at that, right,
and look, I'm not trying to be I'm not trying
to be facetious here, but democrats and this is politicians
at it's crux. And if you watch Game of not
Game of Thrones, House of Cards, and again that's a
TV show that's highly dramatized, I understand, but you cannot
tell me a lot of that back room negotiating stuff
(09:32):
is not accurate. This is how politicians eat their own.
I need to remain here. I want to be in
Congress as long as possible. I want to be in
power as long as possible. I'm not gonna let some
twenty five year old punk that's only famous because he
was unfortunately in a school that suffered a smass shooting,
you know, seven years ago. I'm not gonna let him
(09:54):
ruin my career because he thinks I'm not doing a
good enough job. And if that's what's gonna take, and
that's it's going to open up this can of worms.
If you're a Republican, you have to just be sitting
there kind of like licking your chops, like, what the
heck's gonna happen here? Are they gonna eliminate or are
they going to try to undermine one of the rising
stars of their party to maintain what status quo they have?
(10:15):
Or will more and more people jump on board the
David Hog train That didn't sound great coming out.
Speaker 3 (10:22):
Are they're gonna jump on the David Hog.
Speaker 1 (10:24):
Train and say, Hey, you know what, I think this
is the future of the party, and I think this
is the route we need to go. And all you
old folks that I've been here for the status quo
and watch the deterioration of the Democratic Party, you need
to get out of the way.
Speaker 3 (10:39):
That is not going to be taken so well.
Speaker 1 (10:41):
So we'll see who fight fights back, and we'll see
how David Hog in his group, which he calls leaders,
we deserve how they mingle here. But you could be
in the in the midst of seeing kind of a
political civil war, if you will, amongst factions of the Democrats,
between maybe the young up and comers, the people who
are saying we need to change how we're approaching things,
(11:03):
and the people are trying to put David Hogg in
his place, and I guess we'll have to see how
that pans out. How about we do something fun. How
about I give away a pair of tickets to junkstock?
Speaker 3 (11:14):
Is that good? Good idea? Yeah?
Speaker 1 (11:16):
I got two tickets to junkstock. If you want to
be a part of it, go ahead and call us now.
I'll give this to the twenty Nope, nope, nope, I
did twenty something last time. Let's do sixtieth, the sixtieth collar.
Caller sixty sixth zero, I got time sixtieth collar. Right now,
you'll get a pair of tickets to Junkstock. Junkstock taking
place at Sycamore Farms in Waterloo April twenty fifth through
(11:38):
the twenty seventh, May second through the fourth, both of
those weekends. And I want you to be a winner.
The sixtieth Collar at four h two five five eight
eleven ten, four h two five five eight eleven ten,
News Radio eleven ten Kfab.
Speaker 3 (11:51):
Em Marie's songer on news radio eleven ten Kfab Why
are you always calling me weird? You're a weird guy? Hi,
a weird guy or a weird guy.
Speaker 2 (12:00):
I'm gonna say I'm normal. You're not normal. You're a
memory weird guy. I'm friendly. You're way too friendly. Oh
now I'm too friendly. Yes, maybe I'll be a little
less friendly.
Speaker 3 (12:11):
How about that?
Speaker 1 (12:11):
Oh, don't do that anyway. I have I had this person.
I don't know. I don't I don't know if this
is true. But apparently and I don't know, this is
this is an count on social media.
Speaker 2 (12:27):
That is anonymous. Essentially, Oh so, okay, it's on social media.
It's from an anonymous source. Two reasons why this is
definitely true. They message me, uh so they're listening to
the show.
Speaker 1 (12:39):
Oh oh oh, real, real person has to be and
says you guys, did not do your homework on hog
whicheagains David ho hogwork or hogwork. Yeah here, people get
paid pretty good money for that if you film it
at the right angle.
Speaker 3 (12:54):
Anyway.
Speaker 1 (12:55):
He's under investigation for misuse of pack funds. He reportedly
took donor list from the DNC and used it to
beg for dollars for his own pack.
Speaker 3 (13:04):
That leaders we deserve pack wait to go hog.
Speaker 1 (13:08):
He said he's a socialist, anti Second Amendment. Well, obviously
he's anti Second Amendment and he sees value in limiting
the First Amendment.
Speaker 2 (13:15):
First off, not all socialists are anti Second Amendment. But
he said, this is like Hama, I'm saying, those socialists
have realized what they have to do to get their way.
Speaker 1 (13:24):
Yeah, sorry to be so blunt. Yeah, but that's not
even here. Only we've seen it over history, haven't we.
Speaker 2 (13:29):
Absolutely, Yeah, the whole idea of democratic socialism, give.
Speaker 3 (13:33):
Me a break, get out of here. Not a real thing,
not going to happen anyway.
Speaker 1 (13:38):
He's socialists, he's anti Second Amendment and sees value in
limiting the First Amendment. Uh yeah, okay, I just wanted
to say that because I guess that's what to be
on the look for.
Speaker 3 (13:47):
Why would I know what David Hogg's doing? Why? Why?
Speaker 1 (13:50):
Why do I need to know? I don't care about him.
The only reason I care about him is because he's
saying weird stuff on Twitter.
Speaker 2 (13:55):
He's out there riding his hog, he's inventing pillows, motorcycle.
Speaker 1 (14:01):
I don't think he's got one of those No, no, no,
why not? Now are you judging David Hog? I think
David Hogg. I think he's I think he's in over
his skis a little bit. But it's the kind of
over the skis that sometimes you just fake it till
you make it. And I think that's the kind of
situation he's in right now. I'm faking it till I
make it. I'm gonna make a bunch of money for
my pack. I'm gonna, you know, buy me myself enough
(14:23):
time to figure out if I can run for office
or if I want to run for office. Maybe I'm
in a more powerful position not running for office. You
listen to anybody who's a hardcare conservative these days, and
they say, well, George Soros is moving all the chess
pieces for the Democrats. I don't know how true that is,
but this is the guy never ran for office, yet
everybody seems to think that he's moving all the pieces around.
(14:45):
Is David Hog want to be that guy instead?
Speaker 3 (14:47):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (14:49):
American politics a lot more complex than they'll make you think.
And all the people that are in Washington, DC, they
just want to stay in there. Man, they're all about
staying there, not that they don't get some stuff done,
not that people that are there aren't trying to do
good work. But it's a career. It's a career move
for most people, especially when they're the age of somebody
like AOC or heck, even somebody like Elis Stefanica, who
(15:09):
we like. You can you can be there for twenty
thirty years and still be kind of moving up the
ladder in some way. You can be ambitious in all
the right ways while still having the ability to, you know,
have the power that you so you don't earnestly crave,
and you're able to make a living doing that for
(15:30):
most of your life. You're not termining it out of anything.
You don't nobody's making you go anywhere. If you're able
to keep running for office like Chuck Grassley, and he's
been there for almost fifty years, and even then he
was middle aged when he got elected the first time.
Guys old, I don't know, David Hogg, We'll see.
Speaker 3 (15:48):
I don't know.
Speaker 1 (15:49):
I'm just throwing it out there that, you know, he's
a guy that we should be kind of keeping an
eye on, and I'm guessing I'm gonna wait to see
what these stories are looking like, because why would I
dig into this guy? Like, what what purpose do I have?
I'm not one of these investigative reporters. You know what
I care about? Care about, let my dog outside, you know,
getting in shape, you're more, you're yeah, hot air balloons?
Speaker 3 (16:11):
Right?
Speaker 1 (16:12):
The Chicago White Sox. Who you want to talk about, Smellie, Oh, yeah,
they're terrible. They were so bad last year. Yeah they're
not maybe that bad, but they're so bad. That's what
I care about. The NFL drafts tomorrow, you know what
I care about that. No, it's not is that next week.
I don't know it.
Speaker 2 (16:28):
It's got to be coming up because I keep seeing
mock drafts come out every five second.
Speaker 3 (16:32):
It's next week, I think, maybe it's next week, this draft.
I don't know what it is.
Speaker 2 (16:36):
It's just it's not really moving the needle for me.
Speaker 3 (16:39):
You know.
Speaker 1 (16:39):
Maybe it was last year there was like, don't care,
you don't care about No, it's next week. Sorry, you
don't care about Sadur Sanders, And of course I do
this hunter and where they're going I do.
Speaker 2 (16:48):
It's just last year I feel like it was such
an overdose of so many quarterbacks and now there's really
kind of only two.
Speaker 3 (16:55):
Yeah, and I a quarterback driven league.
Speaker 1 (16:57):
I'm sure a third and a fourth will work the
way in, but I don't think they'll matter much.
Speaker 2 (17:00):
At the Raiders draft. Junty gent Gent the running back, Yeah,
from Boise State. Then I'll get excited. The running back
will make you excited?
Speaker 3 (17:10):
Yeah? Why not? The running back? I don't know.
Speaker 1 (17:12):
I'm not even sure if I'm a Raiders fan anymore.
What corpse is even playing quarterback for them this year?
Speaker 3 (17:17):
Uh? Is it Jimmy Garoppolo?
Speaker 2 (17:19):
Wait, no, no, no, it's it's uh it's Russell Wilson.
Speaker 3 (17:24):
No, it's uh, it is you know Smith, isn't it.
It's Geno Smith. That's right, Gina. Okay, Yeah, well, good
luck with that. That's four forty seven.
Speaker 1 (17:33):
We'll give away an F or two here coming up
on news Ready to eleven to ten kfab.
Speaker 3 (17:40):
Have you ever done something really stupid?
Speaker 1 (17:43):
Yeah?
Speaker 3 (17:44):
Me, neither, but these people did, and that means it's
time for you get an F. All right, I'm gonna
start real quick. We only had a couple of minutes here.
Speaker 1 (17:55):
There is a mandatain in Florida and uh he stole
ear rings diamond earrings at a Tiffany and Company store.
He said he was interested in buying earrings and a
diamond ring on behalf of an Orlando Magic player.
Speaker 3 (18:10):
Back in February.
Speaker 1 (18:12):
He was escorted to a VIP room to try him
on and then quickly jumped up, stole everything and tried
to run in the process, swallowing three diamond earrings.
Speaker 3 (18:23):
Whoa, So he was arrested.
Speaker 1 (18:25):
He was pulled over for driving without rear lights three
hundred and forty miles away. They recognized him as okay,
this person is going to do and the police card
officer heard the suspects say should I have thrown them
out the window? And then he asked the staff at
the Washington County jail, am I going to be charged
for what's in my stomach? Well, they had him in
(18:47):
the hospital and monitored him for a few days. I
suppose there are some hours and waited to recover the jewelry.
Think about how think about how they had to recover
the jewelry about it?
Speaker 3 (19:02):
Oh sure, yeah, yeah.
Speaker 1 (19:05):
Anyway, the stolen earrings valued it over seven hundred and
seventy thousand dollars.
Speaker 3 (19:09):
So there you go to.
Speaker 1 (19:11):
This guy for doing what he did down there in
Florida and swallowing this jewelry and then having him be
monitored until he you know, I guess, for lack of
a better term, pooped him out.
Speaker 3 (19:21):
You get an aff
