Donald Trump is selling his phony Board of Peace in Gaza, a region that does not know peace, but he's selling off seats for $1 billion entry fee. And he's not only offered it to our allies, like Canada and its Prime Minister, Mark Carney, but also offered it now to Vladimir Putin. Yes, Vladimir Putin, who's currently at war with one of our allies. Ukraine has been offered a seat on the Board of Peace overseeing Gaza reconstruction as Donald Trump continues to demonstrate to the world that he is unfit for office, mentally unstable and in decline. I'm Michael Popak. You're on the Midas Touch Network and Legal af. A few days ago, Donald Trump announced that, that he was forming a couple of different levels of government concerning Gaza. One would be a National Committee of Administration in Gaza, the ncag, headed by certain technocrats, including a former Bulgarian UN Representative to the region, Nikolai Madladanov. Madladanov. In addition to that operating committee, there is a Board of Peace. Who's on the Board of Peace? Well, the original people that were named to it included Tony Blair, former UK Prime Minister, controversial figure in that particular region, while he led the quartet to try to find peace there. Marco Rubio, Secretary of State, Jared Kushner, son in law in Chief. I mean, I'm not quite sure why he's on there. And a series of other people connected to Donald Trump. Now, last week we saw that Donald Trump made an offer, according to Mark Carney, the Prime Minister of Canada, to have Canada join, but that Canada was trying to get around and understand the nuances, such as the $1 billion fee to get a seat. While Mark Carney was considering that, while he was meeting in Qatar and in China to cut deals to counteract Donald Trump's attack on our ally. As Mark Carney ate Donald Trump's lunch by making deals with China, the the issue of whether he would be joining came up and this is what he had to say about that.

Why are you accepting President Trump's invitation to join his Board of Peace? Is it acceptable to pay a billion dollars to be a permanent member? And as well, do you have any concerns that this board could undermine the UN System?
Mark Carney (2:46)
Well, a couple of things there. One is that we will, I mean there is a humanitarian tragedy in Gaza that is ongoing and Canada will make every effort possible to address the situation and provide at first, first step to alleviate the. Stop the, stop the suffering, the intensification of the suff. Alleviate the situation, provide humanitarian aid, stabilize, ultimately move towards peace and a two state solution. So we will explore every avenue in order to do that. Second, with respect to the specifics of the Board of Peace, the president raised it with me a few weeks ago. I said, you know, in principle, yes, obviously consistent with what I just said, I will do what I can do. We will do as Canada, what we can do to achieve those core humanitarian objectives. With respects to the specifics of the Board of Peace, we haven't, I haven't gone through, we haven't gone through all the details of the structure, how it's going to work, what financing is for, et cetera. And so we will work through, through those in the coming days.
