Nobody takes the Board of Peace seriously.

507: AOC on the World Stage, Trump Starves Cuba

People are indulging Donald Trump very much like the president of FIFA gave him a trophy calling him, you know, the FIFA Peace Prize, right?

Pod Save the World
507: AOC on the World Stage, Trump Starves Cuba

The Board of Peace is no different.

507: AOC on the World Stage, Trump Starves Cuba

These are world leaders who are preoccupied with governing their countries, trying to deal with all kinds of issues domestically and internationally.

507: AOC on the World Stage, Trump Starves Cuba

And they have to deal with a narcissistic American president who just wants to constantly make himself king of the world.

Pod Save the World
507: AOC on the World Stage, Trump Starves Cuba

And so instead of standing up to him and confronting him, much to our detriment as American citizens who would like to see the world also stand up to an American president.

They have to kind of go along with it because they have to take care of their constituents.

And in some cases, these countries just don't want to be in an open, direct confrontation with the United States rhetorically or even economically.

is to avoid tariffs and to avoid confrontation and.

507: AOC on the World Stage, Trump Starves Cuba

try to placate a president who is like extremely narcissistic.

507: AOC on the World Stage, Trump Starves Cuba

So again, do I think that the Board of Peace is going to deliver on anything?

Pod Save the World
507: AOC on the World Stage, Trump Starves Cuba

I personally don't.

507: AOC on the World Stage, Trump Starves Cuba

I don't know anyone who's purely optimistic about it other than Jared Kushner.

507: AOC on the World Stage, Trump Starves Cuba

But again, I think he's selling a real estate plan.

Pod Save the World
507: AOC on the World Stage, Trump Starves Cuba

I don't think he's genuinely selling any kind of just mechanism for the Palestinian people or security for Israeli people.

Pod Save the World
507: AOC on the World Stage, Trump Starves Cuba

Yeah, I mean, listen, I definitely want to answer that.

Pod Save the World
507: AOC on the World Stage, Trump Starves Cuba

But I was going to actually ask you because, you know, Riza Pahlavi was speaking at the Munich Security Conference.

Pod Save the World
507: AOC on the World Stage, Trump Starves Cuba

And actually I was going to ask you about that in terms of, I don't know if you had a chance to hear him talk, but I'm curious to get your thoughts about how he's kind of been elevated on the global stage now, right?
