now, mr. joel, the you describe them as ignorant. ave truly ignorant or arrogant because i mean, with all due respect, our countries have a history of rivalry at any most a t n. do we actually know each other as un, no other service? so we're both nuclear are the countries and the, you know, those are serious things, but i think one difference is that during the cold war there was some parity, the sort of treatment of each other as equals. do you think the united states treats roster china, or any other country as a, as a legitimate rather this point of time? well i think they, they would probably understand it if it goes too far and we have a nuclear war, you know, they could get hurt. but i think up to that point they are arian in the they're thinking that they what would happen because they are carefully managing the situation and they have a great deal of power that they have at their fingers. and so i think it's a, it's a, it's a difficult question, but i think there are, during the cold war there were, there were a lot of sensible people who actually made sure that it never went

mr. becker. hi, joel becker, a homeowner and resident at 2208 mission street.the building directly to the north of you on september the 17th of this year , rebecca held an outdoor concert with live amplified band for multiple hours in their parking area, in violation of their liquor license. the license stating of course, that no sound shall be audible in any nearby residence. i live on the other side of the building on the fourth floor, facing away from rebecca and the noise was so loud it rattled my windows and shook my walls. i went downstairs to the restaurant and spoke with the owner and asked that the music be turned down. he refused. he also expressed his intention to hold similar concerts more frequently. i do not have a problem with rebecca operating as a restaurant in their parking area. i like the outburst seating and the thing is bringing things. it brings to the mission neighborhood. i agree with that comment from everyone, but i do have a problem with their destruction of my ability to live in my own home and what their blatant violation of the te

joining me now is joel reuben, former deputy assistant secretary of state for legislative affairs during the obama administration. mru for being here. i can't think of anything more growths than a political percentage, like ronna romney mcdaniel, saying that an attack on civilians and that left a lot of people dead, hundreds, and hundreds of people also dead in gaza, and the bombardment of gaza, and the hostage situation is a great opportunity. i don't know, have you ever heard anything like that before. i would just like to give you an opportunity to respond. >> yeah, joy. you know, this kind of ambulance chasing for political power is grotesque. one has to ask why do they hate joe biden more than they love israel, for example? why is it that they can't come together in a bipartisan basis, and support our commander-in-chief when our closest allies in the middle east needs our help? you know, this is not the way it has always been. and i know you know the history. but back after 9/11, democrats came together and supported george w. bush. he had won a controversial election. why? for the good of the nation. john mcca

mr. secretary general, have lost all morality. >> in fact, israel's now calling for the resignation of the u.n. secretary general. joel, what's the danger of this feud between the u.n. and israel continues? >> ana, it's without a doubt israel's experiencing a shrinking now of the diplomatic support for it globally, and that creates a dynamic that we saw yesterday from the secretary general. now, i agree with the israeli ambassador that those words were out of step. they were essentially saying that the cause of the terror attack on october 7th was israel's occupation, and that's too simsimplistic, and really undermines the u.n.'s credibility. that said, israel does have to pay attention to the global diplomatic space and the global opinion on this. that is a crucial component of any activity that undertakes in gaza as well as very importantly for the day after. to have legitimacy for its invasion and a day after plan where there is some type of governance in gaza that restores calm in a post-hamas environment as andrew was describing, that is going to require international cooperation, and so, you know, throwing out t

host: joel next in spring, texas, republican line. hi. caller: hello, ma'am. good day, mr. becker.s you think that you or others of your *eulg that pass for critical thinking that the rest of the american public does not? that's sort of a rhetorical question. i personally receive four mail-in voting ballots. so when you say that there was one sent to everybody. that's just the way it is. that's not right, sir. i got four. i took three back to the registrar. how about states, various states, that didn't go through their slate legislature to change the voting rules. we have a lot of problems here, sir. host: joel, let's see what david says. guest: first of all about mail balloting. first of all texas is a state where it's difficult to get a mail ballot. if that happened, that would be unusual. it's good he brought them back rather than try to vote them. if he tried to vote them, there are two checks on every mail ballot in this country. one a check you received one in the first place. one a check to return the mail bat local. another caller mentioned something about signature matchin
