Isra Hirsi, daughter of Ilhan Omar, started a narrow but extremely deep firestorm when she called American troops "bitches" who support imperialism overseas (correct) Also, A college student writes an editorial in Law Enforcement Today about how Arizona is committing white genocide by making him read about business ethics. Music: Yves Tumor - Gospel for a New Century
The first topic we're addressing tonight uh is is going to be a bit uh I don't know a bit more serious than what we've been trying to program the show with lately um you know we started off this show with you know the
Theme of the show, the subject matter is your aunt calling for genocide on Facebook, and we've tried to ease that into more goofy territory, something that's not as soul-crushing to listen to or to host and program, but sometimes our hand is forced.
Yeah, America won't let us.
In this, we have to kind of address this just to document it.
So like content warning, it's gonna be a lot of racist stuff, gonna be some sexist stuff, gonna be some violent stuff, but we're gonna, you know, try to defang it as much as possible here.
So we have a post here from the Capitalism Facebook page, which is not only like, you know, a A page dedicated to, uh, you know, a terrible economic system, but it also is, like, further, I don't know, bored into the center of that ideology because their, like, uh, profile pic is the yellow and black and cap?
Oh my god!
with a dollar sign.
So not only is this capitalism, this is quote anarcho-capitalism, which just literally means like, I want to be able to buy and sell people. - Yeah, literally. - Oh my God, holy shit.
I've never heard of that thing.
That's terrifying.
If your business isn't successful selling people, then the market has decided that that's bad, you know.
So Capitalism, the Facebook page, shares an article from IndependentSentinel.com The headline reads, Ilhan Omar's daughter calls U.S.
troops, quote, bitches who, quote, actively kill innocent children abroad.
And their caption is, now, where did she learn that?
And I would say probably from a smart person.
Yeah.
Yep.
Probably from somebody who knows anything about history at all.
Maybe from like, you know, like a queen.
Maybe from, you know, someone who might be considered an icon one day.
I don't know.
Yeah.
The video is her on TikTok and it's... Have you guys seen the video?
Yes once I saw the video it was because like when I originally saw this kind of permeated my awareness before you even put it as an issue and I was like damn that's fucking cool like way to go like just like starting at a young age just like really getting right wing uh goat but
You know you watch the video and she's commenting on another video of what like troops who are calling people bitches and so she's contextualizing by calling these group of guys bitches because they're using that term.
So it's like so funny that these you know right-wing groups are like yelling at her when all she's doing is like Taking the words of these soldiers who are calling people bitches.
It's a clapback.
It's one of your classic clapbacks.
Was the, Tony, do you know, was the video where the, the video that she's addressing is like, the perspective is a camera that's inside a drawer and the drawer opens and a troop looks down at the camera in the drawer and says, what is this?
Oh, it's a bitch.
And then a bunch of other troops stick their heads in frame and say, yep, that's a bitch or something like that.
And it's not just a bitch, it's that bitch.
It's a particular bitch.
It's almost like she's reacting to a react video.
Like that whole thing was supposed to be like, oh, I got that particular bitch in my drawer or whatever.
But her response is exactly that.
And so her delivery is fucking beautiful.
She's so calm and so cool and really just hands it to him so gently.
I hope that these exact men see it.
Yeah, me too.
There's no way that they won't feel the wrath of her calmness.
Have you seen it, Kate?
No, I haven't seen it.
I have it open now.
I can watch it right this second.
Yeah, say, can we hear the audio, maybe?
Yeah, I'll plug in the audio.
Kate can go ahead and watch it.
Okay, I'm gonna watch it right now.
Yeah.
I know this is a joke, but the fact that these men are calling me a bitch and they're actively killing innocent children abroad and also furthering U.S.
imperialism makes me think that they're actually the bitch.
She's so good!
Oh my god!
She really lets the CH linger.
She really holds it.
So calm and the way that she's holding her headphone mic is just so casual.
It's great.
This is fantastic.
Some people were positing that the troops in question were literally calling her They were referring to her specifically, Isra Hirsi, because we haven't said her name even though she tweeted out her name is not Ilhan Omar's daughter.
I loved that tweet.
Yeah, but that's how she's being addressed because of course this is just meant to like reflect poorly on Ilhan Omar or meant to like Get clicks by virtue of how much people want Ilhan Omar dead herself.
Well now there's another character they can wish death upon.
Oh my god.
She fucking rules.
She's great.
And the video that I just want to real quickly go back to this like you know the original like drawer open so like it's shot like a Tarantino like from the like trunk shot.
Well we're only seeing the upper body here so I don't know if I'm getting a Tarantino vibe.
I'm not seeing any titsies in this shot.
Fair, fair.
But like, so the idea is like, I'm on TikTok, I come up on this video, and I'm watching it, and the perspective is like, the person who's watching this video is the bitch.
Like, oh fuck, oh man, I got called the bitch by a bunch of troops.
