Hogg&#8217;s rise to prominence came after the 2018 Parkland shooting. His involvement in progressive politics also <a href=\"https:\/\/amzn.to\/3YuVZYV\" >includes spending considerable funds<\/a> from his PAC to challenge moderate Democrats in safe districts, which has drawn criticism.<\/p>\n<p>The DNC chair, Ken Martin, who took over in February, has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/democrats-obstruct-plan-to-increase-funding-to-vaccinate-teachers\/\" title=\"Democrats Obstruct Plan To Increase Funding To Vaccinate Teachers\">expressed frustration<\/a> and self-doubt in a private Zoom call, suggesting that Hogg&#8217;s actions may have undermined Martin&#8217;s leadership and credibility. Leaked audio from this call reveals Martin struggling with feelings of inadequacy in his new role. As Martin works to assert his leadership while addressing the internal conflicts within the party, tensions have emerged, notably between him and Hogg.<\/p>\n<p>The article hints at broader issues of disarray within the DNC as it prepares for potential elections for vice chair,raising questions about the future dynamics of the party amidst the interpersonal conflicts between Hogg and Martin.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<section> \t\t\t\t<script>console.log(\"ad slot (AC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC1)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC2)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC3)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (IC4)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_0)\")<\/script><script>console.log(\"ad slot (REP_1)\")<\/script><\/p>\n<p>David Hogg and Ken Martin are two men who deserve each other &mdash; which is sort of the problem for both.<\/p>\n<p>If you&rsquo;ve followed politics even briefly, you&rsquo;re familiar with Hogg, the anti-gun activist who became famous after the Parkland shooting in 2018 &mdash; although he wasn&rsquo;t actually at school that day. (You may perhaps remember that he rode his bike over once he realized there would be cameras he could get in front of; a young Chuck Schumer in the making.)<\/p>\n<p>Hogg recently got himself elected as vice chair of the Democratic National Committee and now faces a re-vote over what the DNC is calling a procedural issue. (It has <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/furious-david-hogg-learns-like-conservative-dnc-moves-void-election\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">nothing to do with the fact<\/a> that he&rsquo;s spending $20 million from his own PAC to primary insufficiently left-wing Democrats in safe blue seats. None whatsoever.)<\/p>\n<p>Martin, meanwhile, is the DNC chair. It&rsquo;s probably not a good augury when the chair needs to be introduced and the most notable vice chair doesn&rsquo;t. Nor, indeed, is it a good sign that after taking the reigns in February, all hell has broken loose for Martin.<\/p>\n<p>Now, in leaked audio of a Zoom call that happened on May 15, it almost sounds like Martin is on the verge of crying at the prospect of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/dnc-moves-nullify-david-hogg-ballot-violation-pelosis-daughter-steps\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Hogg&rsquo;s extracurricular activities<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p> <script type=\"text\/javascript\"> \t\t\tif ( getCookie( \"ff_subbed\" ) ) { \t\t\t\tdocument.getElementById(\"stnvideo\").remove() \t\t\t} else { \t\t\t\tdocument.addEventListener(\"DOMContentLoaded\", function() { \t\t\t\t\tfunction loadScript(src) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst script=document.createElement(\"script\"); \t\t\t\t\t\tscript.src=src; \t\t\t\t\t\tscript.async=true; \t\t\t\t\t\tdocument.body.appendChild(script); \t\t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\t\tfunction findPreviousParagraph(selector, x) { \t\t\t\t\t\tconst targetElement=document.querySelector(selector); \t\t\t\t\t\tif (!targetElement) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.warn(\"Target element not found.\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn null; \t\t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Get all <\/p>\n<p> elements in order as they appear in the document \t\t\t\t\t\tlet paragraphs=Array.from(document.querySelectorAll(\"p\"));  \t\t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Find the index of the last <\/p>\n<p> before the target element \t\t\t\t\t\tlet targetIndex=paragraphs.findIndex(p=> p.compareDocumentPosition(targetElement) & Node.DOCUMENT_POSITION_PRECEDING);  \t\t\t\t\t\tif (targetIndex===-1 || targetIndex <x) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.warn(\"Not enough paragraphs before the target element.\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\treturn null; \t\t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\treturn paragraphs[targetIndex - x]; \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Set up IntersectionObserver \t\t\t\t\tfunction observeElement(element) { \t\t\t\t\t\tif (!element) return;  \t\t\t\t\t\tconst observer=new IntersectionObserver( \t\t\t\t\t\t\t(entries)=> { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tentries.forEach(entry=> { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tif (entry.isIntersecting) { \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tconsole.log(\"Paragraph is now visible:\", entry.target.textContent.trim()); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tloadScript(\"https:\/\/embed.sendtonews.com\/player3\/embedcode.js?fk=s28Az7AY\"); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tobserver.disconnect(); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t} \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t}); \t\t\t\t\t\t\t}, \t\t\t\t\t\t\t{ threshold: 0.5 } \/\/ Adjust threshold as needed \t\t\t\t\t\t);  \t\t\t\t\t\tobserver.observe(element); \t\t\t\t\t}  \t\t\t\t\t\/\/ Find the 1st paragraph before #stnvideo and observe it \t\t\t\t\tlet paragraphToObserve=findPreviousParagraph(\"#stnvideo\", 2); \t\t\t\t\tobserveElement(paragraphToObserve); \t\t\t\t}); \t\t\t} \t\t<\/script> <\/p>\n<p>The audio, first obtained by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.politico.com\/news\/2025\/06\/08\/martin-hogg-call-private-meeting-00393517\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Politico<\/a> and published Sunday, features &ldquo;Ken Martin express[ing] frustration and self-doubt in a meeting with other party leaders,&rdquo; the subheadline read.<\/p>\n<p>This is one of the few times Politico could be accused of <em>underselling&nbsp;<\/em>party disarray, as Martin seems to choke up before collecting himself and telling Hogg he doesn&rsquo;t want to do the job he was elected to.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;I&rsquo;ll be very honest with you, for the first time in my 100 days on this job [pause] &hellip; the other night I said to myself for the first time, I don&rsquo;t know if I wanna do this anymore,&rdquo; Martin said while speaking to Hogg.<\/p>\n<p>&ldquo;No one knows who the hell I am, right?

If you&#8217;ve paid any attention to politics, you likely know Hogg as the anti-gun activist who gained notoriety after the Parkland shooting in 2018, despite not being present at the school that day. (You might recall he arrived later when he realized there would be cameras available; reminiscent of a young Chuck Schumer.) Recently, Hogg was elected as vice chair of the Democratic National Committee (DNC) but is now facing a re-vote due to what the DNC describes as a procedural issue-unrelated to his $20 million expenditure from his own PAC aimed at challenging insufficiently progressive Democrats in secure blue districts. Meanwhile, Martin serves as DNC chair and it&#8217;s concerning that he requires an introduction while Hogg does not. Since taking over in February, Martin has faced significant turmoil within the party. Leaked audio from a Zoom call on May 15 reveals him nearly in tears over Hogg&#8217;s activities outside of his role.<\/p>\n<p>The audio was first reported by Politico and shows Martin expressing frustration and self-doubt during discussions with other party leaders. This instance marks one of those rare occasions where Politico may have understated internal party chaos; Martin appears emotional before regaining composure to tell Hogg that he feels undermined in his leadership role.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I&#8217;ll be honest with you; for the first time in my 100 days on this job&#8230; I found myself questioning whether I want to continue,&#8221; Martin shared with Hogg. &#8220;No one knows who I am&#8230; I&#8217;m trying to establish credibility so I can raise funds and fulfill my responsibilities effectively.&#8221; He expressed frustration that Hogg&#8217;s actions have hindered his ability to demonstrate necessary leadership.<\/p>\n<p>Hogg took to social media amid rumors suggesting he leaked this recording: &#8220;Many are accusing me of leaking this recording,&#8221; he tweeted alongside screenshots of messages from Politico&#8217;s reporter regarding the story.<\/p>\n<p>A Republican consultant pointed out what seemed absent from this situation: &#8220;So did you leak it?&#8221; asked Alex Bruesewitz on Twitter-a question left unanswered by Hogg. This follows accusations from another DNC vice chair involved in the re-vote situation, Malcolm Kenyatta, who claimed that David had been dishonest about leaking information.<\/p>\n<p>Kenyatta stated publicly about David&#8217;s questionable honesty while noting ongoing concerns regarding transparency within their ranks. In response, Martin affirmed through a representative that he&#8217;s committed to fighting Republicans rather than engaging with internal conflicts among Democrats.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s noteworthy that instead of addressing these issues directly himself, DNC Chair Martin had someone else convey his determination not to resign-a reflection of how precarious things have become when juxtaposed against someone like 25-year-old Hogg whose ideas may be controversial yet assertive compared to an older counterpart appearing overwhelmed by conflict within their own party dynamics<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2445297,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Hogg-v-Martin.jpg","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[33651],"tags":[46257,45913,56874,55422],"class_list":["post-2445296","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-the-western-journal","tag-david-hogg","tag-dnc-chair","tag-dramatic-video-call","tag-leaked-audio"],"fifu_image_url":"https:\/\/www.westernjournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/Hogg-v-Martin.jpg","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2445296","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2445296"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2445296\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2445300,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2445296\/revisions\/2445300"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2445297"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2445296"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2445296"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2445296"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
