We look at the depths of incompetence with the Signal saga - and look at the reality of whether all this is 'secure' or not.

RFK Jr. tells people to take vitamin A for measles. They do. It gives them liver damage.

Marky Mark and the Zucky Bunch decide to steal content from a website that steals content. How meta.

We have a new segment! Always The Ones You Most Expect. And yeah, it's what you think it is. Depressingly long.

And by god Pete's been to the USA and had a cracking time. Did he meet Don and Elon? Maybe. How much did it cost him? Other than his dignity.

Enjoy!

The Two Jacks discuss the Secret Signal scandal. The federal election is on. Who wins and why? Canada is off to the polls, too. Has Trump given the Canadian Liberals a second chance?

In sport, we eulogise George Foreman, and examine the AFL season to date.

The Two Jacks discuss the conduct of Donald Trump's presidency and ask what SMH Foreign Editor, Peter Hartcher declared to be true in a column earlier in the week, that Trump was a Russian asset. JTI concluded that he didn't know if Trump was a Russian asset but if he wasn't, he was doing a good impersonation of one. The things to watch in any peace agreement between Ukraine and Russia (with the possibility of European troops in Ukraine as peacekeepers or observers) are the provision of US logistical support and intelligence sharing to the European coalition and Ukraine. If the US did not, then it was providing Russia with a decided advantage.

In Australian politics, JTI describes another bad week for the Coalition with plenty of misspeaking. In sport, India gets a homeground advantage in the Champions Trophy final and the Two Jacks give their tips for the final 8 in the NRL. 

The Two Jacks open with a discussion on Australian politics. Polling shows the Albanese government languishing and looking like losing between 15 and 20 seats. Meanwhile polling in the Teal held seat of Wentworth shows the Opposition under Peter Dutton will struggle to retain inner city seats lost in 2022. The prospect of minority government looms one way or another.

In the US, Good Trump emerges in an Oval Office meeting with UK PM Sir Keir Starmer but Bad Trump is never far away.

In sport, the Champions Trophy moves to its conclusion with England going home with their tails between their legs again. The Two Jacks offer their final 8 predictions for the 2025 AFL season.

I got copilot to write the shownotes and they are awful. And it took me way longer to get copilot to do that than actually write something here. Anyway, here's some proof that our jobs are safe cause these shownotes are awful!

In summary - Jack has a spray on RFK Jr. about the measles outbreak which has absolutely got his fingerprints all over it. We have a cooker update with Oneegs jumping into bed with Jamie McIntyre who should not be directing companies for another year or so. SovCits has Jack look into Grant Hilton or Hudson - depending on who you ask and when you ask it. And Pete is back (not he isn't).

Hosts: Jack the Insider (Peter) and Joel Hill

Introduction:

• [00:00:37] Welcome to the Conditional Release Program, a podcast exploring the world of cults, scams, and con artists.
• [00:00:43] Hosts introduce themselves: Jack the Insider (Peter) and Joel Hill.
• [00:00:50] Setting the tone with humor and critical commentary. Joel asks the hard-hitting question: "Will Bobby Kennedy Jr. kill more people than Elon Musk?"

Main Topics:

1. Bobby Kennedy Jr. and Anti-Vax Advocacy:

• [00:01:18] Discussion on Bobby Kennedy Jr.'s anti-vaccine stance and its impact on public health.

• [00:04:00] Analysis of the resurgence of measles in the US and the role of anti-vaccine rhetoric. Measles is back, and it's not bringing sexy back with it.

1. Cryptocurrency and Financial Scams:

• [00:22:27] Insight into the current political landscape in the US and Australia. Spoiler: It's a mess.
• [00:22:44] Predictions and analysis of upcoming elections and political strategies. Betting on politics is like betting on a three-legged horse.
• [00:23:01] Commentary on the influence of right-wing parties and their tactics. The cookers are mobilizing, but will they make a difference?

1. Sovereign Citizens and Legal Troubles:

• [00:55:06] Case study of Grant Warren Hudson (aka Grant Hilton) and his interactions with law enforcement. Spoiler: It doesn't go well.

• [01:20:56] Mention of notable figures like Pete Evans and their ongoing activities. Pete's back on Instagram, and the world collectively yawns.

Conclusion:

• [01:27:12] Summary of the main points discussed in the episode. Spoiler: It's a wild ride.

CRP10 is the discount code for CBCo and their IPA remains the best in the country (next to Grifter Big Sur which is way more expensive).

The Two Jacks discuss the federal election with polling showing the Coalition may form minority government.

The big news is in Ukraine where the Trump administration has signalled a peace which is little more than a surrender for Ukraine.

In sport, the Champions League gets underway in Pakistan and Dubai. 

The Two Jacks examine the conduct of the Opposition in the parliament when Attorney General Mark Dreyfus tried to tell the parliament his Shoah story - about his familial links with the Holocaust -- only to have the Opposition seek to gag him. The story was not well reported in the media but the Australian Jewish News ran hard with the story.

In the US, Trump continues with his black texta reforms while HK Jack defends the role of USAID. Germany has its national elections just two weeks away as an Afghan asylum seeker drives a vehicle into a crowd in Munich, injuring 30 people.

In sport, we look at the Sam Kerr case where she was acquitted. Can she captain the Matildas again? Sure, why not. 

Jack has been watching WAY too many YouTube videos and the brainrot is terminal. He focused his sights on the 'first amendment auditors' who film people in public to bait a response. Then he started watching videos of so called 'concerned dads' who have used opaque methods to entrap men into turning up to a location for a beating - all in the name of content. Nobody likes a paedo - but is due process actually dead? Trial by social media is a scourge on society and Jack won't have a bar of it.

Enjoy!

So there's a gap in the episodes. Don't ask me, guys - I'm just producing the damn thing - Joel.

We start off by taking a look at Peter Dutton's policies, light on detail and ask if the electorate will buy it?

Meanwhile in the US, Musk's Dogs is causing chaos. Is it a matter of stopping government waste. That's the headline but the truth is a lot uglier. Where will it end? Only Musk seems to know.

In sport, should there be a men's health round in round one to highlight the tragedy of suicide? 

He said a lot about day one and now it has happened. Around 200 'executive orders' were signed. Plenty of them were completely illegal, but let's just do whatever we want while the courts figure that out. Injunction? That's next week's problem - if you're lucky.

In the meantime - here is some Ai slop shownotes cause I've had a real bastard of a week and I don't have it in me to write anything interesting.

Episode is good though.

oh and buy cbco beer from cbco.beer and use crp10 to get 10% off

I assure you, their IPA is one of the best in the country and their NEIPA is up there with the guys who charge much much more. Get on it.
