Joe Rogan mocks Ilhan Omar for reading World War II as ‘World War Eleven’ in resurfaced video
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?”
TRUMP ASSERTS ILHAN OMAR SHOULD BE JAILED OR BOOTED TO SOMALIA
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.”
ILHAN OMAR DEFENDS MEALS ACT DESPITE TIES TO MASSIVE MINNESOTA FRAUD SCHEME
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?”

Joey Chestnut reveals foods he won’t eat in competition as he tours Minor League stadiums for local delicacies
Joey Chestnut will eat almost anything.
The 17-time Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest champion is the greatest competitive eater of all time, once even chowing down cow-brain tacos.
But there are two foods that are off-limits.

“The only things that would stop me is if I’m, like, really worried about getting sick,” Chestnut said (apparently, no concerns about cow brain). “Like raw oysters. I’d have to be really confident that these oysters are coming from somewhere where I’m not going to get sick.”
There are some foods that seem tasty at first, but they do provide difficulties for Chestnut. Popcorn causes chapped lips and bloating due to swallowing air, and Twinkies provide a “sugar headache.”
“But if I do my prep right going in, I feel pretty good,” he said confidently.
There is one more “oyster” though, made from an animal’s – let’s say – body part, that is not on Chestnut’s menu.
“There was a casino that wanted to do Rocky Mountain oysters. And their track record wasn’t good on preparing them,” Chestnut recalled.

“They’re bull testicles. I kind of rejected that one.”
This summer, though, tasty delights are on the table, as Chestnut is partnering with Diamond Baseball Holdings (DBH) to visit Minor League ballparks nationwide this season to take on some of the signature dishes that define the club’s communities.
Chestnut traveled to Wichita last month to tackle chili buns, a Midwestern dish that is a combination of chili and cinnamon buns. In Scranton/Wilkes-Barre, he’ll go with pierogis, and in upstate New York, he’ll try his hand at cider donuts. Cheeseburger dogs are also on deck in Reading, Pennsylvania.
“I’m super pumped. Minor League ballparks are always fun, just great atmospheres. I think Minor League ballparks are responsible for Major League ballparks stepping up their food game, so I’m going to be doing some good eating,” Chestnut said.
“There’s gonna be some good ones. I think it’s a huge burger they’re building in Birmingham that will be the biggest burger in Minor League baseball. Tacos next week.”
Chestnut will go for 18 Nathan’s titles on July 4.
