You're listening to serious inquiries only. I'm your host Thomas Smith. And as kind of promised and alluded to last week, I've got some voicemail spillover to get to. I had so many really good voicemails from this past month. Keep it coming.

Don't worry. I won't always do two parters here. It was just I they happened to

coincide with things that I had been kind of planning to rant about and talk about so it went a little

long but please keep the response coming. That number is in the show notes. It should be,

unless I've messed up, it should always be in the show notes no matter where you're getting this

podcast so feel free to chime in if you've got an opinion but here we go part two of the

listener voicemail from I suppose this would be March but they're good

timeless topics or slash things that are worth revisiting so here we go part two Let's get to our first message.

Hey Thomas in the most recent episode of serious inquiries

you refer to a pack as the Jewish lobby

about 29 a 29 minutes in.

And maybe you just misspoke,

but it's funny because that conflation

is actually the crux of the issue.

That conflation has been deployed cynically, particularly by conservatives through this criticism of imperialism and the actions of the state of Israel.

And it's hard not to think that a lot of the prominent critics of Ilhan on the left side of the aisle are being a little disingenuous.

So for instance, just a week after Nancy Pelosi was pushing this measure that seemed from the outset to be more or less a condemnation of Omar,

it was announced that Nancy Pelosi was going to speak at AIPAC.

So I think it's worth pointing out that even though some members, even some members of her own party

are likely engaging in a similar kind of dishonest attack on Omar that the bench appears as the world are and I just want to bring that up with you.

So I love the show, keep up the good work.

Hey, thank you so much for calling that to my attention. Yes, I absolutely apologize for miss speaking.
