he'd have a good chance in Florida courts. Maybe that's true. But it's interesting to see somebody associated with the left being concerned about judge shopping. Yeah.

So will we learn? Oh, my cat is eating my charge cord. I have to get that out of the way. No, that's not a cat toy. You cannot eat the charging cord.

All right. So that would suggest that John Brennan is in trouble because we know that grand juries typically do indict. So even if he is not convicted of anything, and I would not necessarily predict that he would be, he's going to be spending a lot of money and time defending himself. So if you believe that John Brennan is one of the bad guys, you're probably pretty happy that some anvil is about to come down on him, the anvil of justice, which may or may not, as I say, get any kind of conviction, but just being sucked into that process is torture enough.

And I always wonder, why does it take so long to put a case together? Now I realize it's complicated, but is it going to take two years before there's any kind of court case? And then is a court case going to take two years on its own? And then are we going to have a Democrat president or Democrat administration that pardons him or throws it out? So I don't know if they're in some kind of a stalling strategy or what, but if you're like me, you don't really expect any justice, do you?

How many of you think that the end of the Russia collusion hoax will be that the people involved get prosecuted? It just feels like we live in a world where even if the Republicans are in charge, it's not going to make a difference. So I think I'm going to predict that he doesn't go to jail, but he'll be very unhappy if the indictments come through. Usually indictments do come through, especially from Florida. So he has a point that he has less chance in Florida than maybe someone else.

All right. You remember the story the 60 Minutes delayed the publication of a story about that famous El Salvador prison and how bad the conditions were. Now Bari Weiss, who's in charge of that operation now, says they were just holding off for a comment from the administration. Some people said, wait, the administration did comment, but it wasn't who she wanted to comment. I think she wanted Steve Miller specifically, which would have been a better show if they had Steve Miller comment.

So somebody leaked the entire episode and so today you can watch it on social media and apparently it does exactly what you thought it was. It was an expose of how bad the conditions are if you go to that prison. Now I won't give the details of how bad it is, but if you assume that the claims or the allegations are true, it would be really bad. Like really, really bad. As in really really bad.

Now how do you feel about that? Do you feel really really really bad that gang members, not all of them I assume, are being tortured and raped and who knows what in the prison. Does that bother you? Well, if you're a human, it should bother you a little bit, but if you don't like gang members, it might bother you less.

So remember I've told you a number of times that when Trump has an option of doing this or that, he always takes the one that is the strongest or makes him look the strongest. So the weak option would be, oh, we cannot use this prison because they mistreat the prisoners. On a human level, you might agree that you should not have that level of abuse even in a prison. Totally understand that. But what would be the strongest path? The strongest path would be we don't care. And maybe they shouldn't have done things that put them in prison. We don't care.

So apparently there are also related to that about a 100 Venezuelans who have been put in that prison. And Judge Boasberg has said they need to be brought back so they can defend whether they should be going to prison at all or deported at all. It's only 100 people. It's not the worst thing in the world.

But let me give you my take on this. Well first let me borrow a take from Jessica Tarlov. So I like her opinions better than you do. You're gonna tell me, but Scott, don't you remember that time Jessica said that thing that turned out to be factually untrue? To which I'm gonna say, who hasn't done that? Do you think I only say things that are factually true? I try. I mean, I try as hard as I can to only say things that are true, but how many times have you caught me in a factual error that I had to even correct myself? If you do this kind of work, you are continuously saying things that aren't true unintentionally. The best you can do is correct it when you find out.

So yes, Jessica Tarlov sometimes says things that turn out not to be true, just like every single person doing this kind of work. But what I like about her is that she often gives me a view of things that's well expressed that I had not heard before. So you know, it's really good to just add it to your well this person said that file.

So on this topic, she said by a post on X, I fail to see how the Trump administration input, that's what Bari Weiss said she was waiting for, would have changed the disgusting and heartbreaking reality of CECOT, that's the prison. Completely shameful. We send people there. Perfectly reasonable opinion. That's a perfectly reasonable opinion. You could disagree with it, but I think it's reasonable to say, hey, this was too far.

So here's what I would do if I were the administration. And I don't predict that they will do this. Because remember, Trump takes the strong path, even if you're pretty sure another path would be the more, you know, let's say reasonable or humane path. So if I were not Trump and I did not consistently use that strategy, which is actually a really good strategy
