ristians and Trump really doesn't like that. So he had warned them that if they kept killing Christians he was going to respond militarily. Allegedly Nigeria's government approved it so it wasn't a violation of their sovereignty. But we don't know how many people were bombed or if it was missiles. I'm pretty sure no American boots were on the ground and no American casualties. Don't know that for sure, but I'm sure he did it from a distance.

Anyway, it makes me wonder, under what authority can Trump order an attack on Nigeria, even if the government of Nigeria says yes, what authority allows him to do that? Can he just tell the military to attack anybody he wants? Now, you know, arguably there's a good rationale for it. I'm not arguing that he shouldn't have done it, but how do you justify that legally? I suspect the anti-war people will have something to say about this next week. And again, I'm not opposed to it. If there were no casualties on the American side and it made a difference, we don't yet know if it made a difference, but potentially it might have been a good play.

You know, I've told you now quite a few times that when Trump has options, he always picks the strongest one. Even if the War Powers Act, even if it's not the optimal strategy that every time he picks the strong strategy, that pays off because the next situation where he's negotiating, nobody will think he's bluffing. You see what I'm saying? As long as he always picks the strongest play, even if it's not the optimized play, then every time he has to deal with somebody, they're going to say, "Oh, damn it. He's not bluffing. If he says he's going to bomb us, he's definitely going to bomb us." So even if he isn't. So it's a real good play persuasion wise.

The literally murdering priests. I also don't know the scale of it. Obviously, there's no amount that's right. There's no amount that's the right amount of killing Christians. But I do wonder what is the scale? I mean, are they killing 100 Christians a day? How bad is it? Arguing about the legality is laughable. Yeah, I would say I'm more curious than arguing about it. I wouldn't say I'm arguing about it.

All right. Polar investments.

All right, ladies and gentlemen, that's all I have for you today. And if you want to hang out for another minute, I will be happy to sip my coffee and hang out with you just because you might be lonely. I know there are a few birthdays today. How many of you have a birthday today? At least two of the locals people have a birthday, but we've got 5,000 people watching. Out of the 5,000 people, how many are having a birthday today? I'll bet it's quite a few.

So there you go, Deb. Happy birthday to all the birthday people. Your brother does.

All right. Did anybody get a pet for Christmas? Did anybody get like a kitten or a puppy? If you did, I want to see a picture of it. It's a lonely day for some of you. Well, that's why we're here. You need not be lonely because I'm here and all of your friends are here. I'd like to see a robot do this.

Well, I don't know if that was a good show, but it kept you busy for an hour.

Sex kittens. Yeah, they count. You wish you got a puppy.

Over 52,000 Christians have been, wow. Well, that's in Africa in general. That's all of Africa, not Nigeria, right? That's a lot. 52,000 Christians.

Yeah. No medical advice, please.

It's your understanding that what? Oh, your kid showed up.
