Joe Rogan mocks Ilhan Omar for reading World War II as ‘World War Eleven’ in resurfaced video

Published

Podcaster Joe Rogan mocked Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., for a resurfaced video of her misreading World War II as “World War Eleven” during a Capitol Hill news conference.

Omar, the first Somali American member of Congress, made the error during her opening remarks at a Democratic news conference last year on the reintroduction of the Neighbors Not Enemies Act. The bill, which did not pass, was aimed at opposing President Donald Trump’s immigration enforcement, particularly his invocation of the Alien Enemies Act.

The congresswoman railed that the “last time the Alien Enemies Act was invoked it was used to detain and deport German, Japanese, Italian immigrants during World War Eleven.”

Amid discussion about Somali fraud in Minnesota, Rogan brought up the video as he spoke with comedian Brian Simpson, summarizing, “So she’s reading off this script, and you know how people write World War II, and they use, like, I-I for II? She reads it as ‘World War Eleven.’”

Simpson let out an exasperated sigh of frustration that made Rogan immediately wheeze with laughter. Simpson then asked, “This is a congressperson?”

“She’s a congresswoman!” Rogan laughed in disbelief as he cued his producer to find the video. “It’s kinda adorable because I don’t think English is her first language already.”

He played the clip where Omar realized her gaffe and corrected herself.

“I didn’t know she caught it. I never saw that. They always cut it off before she caught it,” Rogan said of clips he previously saw online.

“Well, that’s politics, bro. Politics is f—ing brutal, man,” Simpson said, later adding, “I don’t understand why anybody would want to go into it.”

Rogan agreed with Simpson’s grim assessment of politics, but still marveled at Omar’s gaffe, asking, “How could you say ‘World War 11?’ Like, you know, there haven’t been 9 other wars you forgot about?”

Simpson argued she said “way dumber s—” in the past.

“But have you ever [done that while] reading off a written speech?” Rogan asked.

Footage of the gaffe has gone viral on social media.

The popular conservative account “I Meme Therefore I Am” posted, “She must have gotten her education in the Quality Learing Center.” The post referenced one of the Minneapolis daycare centers allegedly engaged in fraud, which went viral for misspelling its name on its sign as “Quality Learing Center” instead of “Quality Learning Center.”

Chloe Cole, a conservative activist and prominent detransitioner, posted on X, “Absolutely in awe of this clip of Ilhan Omar calling World War II ‘World War Eleven.’”

“Truly quality learing. We’re learing like we’ve never leared before,” Cole wrote.

Conservative podcast host Matt Walsh reacted, “God forbid we ever have World War 3, Ilhan Omar will think we’re on World War One Hundred Eleven.”

“Consider the astronomical levels of stupidity on display here. Ilhan Omar doesn’t know how to read Roman numerals AND she thinks there have been 11 world wars,” Walsh wrote in another X post. “Either one of those would be reasonable justification to remove her from office and send her back to Somalia. But both?”

Shakira, Madonna and BTS co-headline first-ever World Cup Final halftime show

Published

on

The world’s largest sporting event, the 2026 FIFA World Cup, is just a few weeks away, returning to North America and the United States for the first time since 1994. 

FIFA announced their first ever halftime show for the World Cup Final at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. In a post on X, featuring Elmo, Coldplay announced that the halftime show would be curated by lead singer Chris Martin and feature BTS, Madonna and Shakira. Shakira is set to release the official song of the World Cup, “Dai Dai,” later Thursday.

The show will also “raise funds for the FIFA Global Citizen Education Fund,” dedicated to “improving access to quality education and football for children around the world.”

FOX broadcasts the entire tournament, with opening matches kicking off on June 11 in Mexico. El Tri hosts South Africa in Mexico City, while South Korea takes on Croatia in Guadalajara.

Then the next day, the other two hosts play their first group stage matches. Canada plays Bosnia and Herzegovina in Toronto in Group B. Then the US Men’s National Team, coming off a rocky past few months of friendlies, plays its first match against Paraguay in Los Angeles. They then head to Seattle to play Australia on June 19, before closing out the group stage against Turkey back in LA on June 25.

Unsurprisingly, given the scale and scope of the tournament, and the stage hosting in the US offers, FIFA is pulling out all the entertainment stops.

KATY PERRY TO HEADLINE 2026 FIFA WORLD CUP OPENING CEREMONY AS FANS DEBATE WHETHER SHE’S THE RIGHT PICK

Already, soccer’s governing body has set up an extensive list of entertainment to kick off the tournament in the host countries. An opening ceremony in Los Angeles on June 12 will feature music acts like Katy Perry, Future, Anitta, LISA, Rema and Tyla. 

“This opening ceremony in Los Angeles represents the extraordinary scale of what the FIFA World Cup 2026 will become,” FIFA President Gianni Infantino said in a statement. “The lineup of artists reflects the cultural diversity of the United States and the vibrancy of its many diasporas, highlighting the nation’s rich influence on music, entertainment and pop culture, while showcasing the power of music to bring people together across the country.”

That ceremony will kick off 90 minutes before the start of the US match, and will complement two additional opening ceremonies in Canada and Mexico. The opening match in Toronto will feature performances by Alanis Morissette, Alessia Cara, Elyanna, Jessie Reyez, Michael Bublé, Nora Fatehi, Sanjoy, Vegedream and William Prince.

In Mexico, opening ceremony headliners include Alejandro Fernández, Belinda, Danny Ocean, J Balvin, Lila Downs, Los Ángeles Azules, Maná and Tyla.

Prior performers at World Cup finals include stars like Carlos Santana and Wycleaf Jean at the 2014 tournament in Brazil. Will Smith was among those who sang at the 2018 finale in Russia, and Davido, Aisha, Ozuna were part of the 2022 closing ceremony in Qatar.

Over 100 matches. 16 cities hosting in three countries. Over a month’s worth of action, culminating in a momentous finale in New Jersey. The World Cup never fails to deliver.
