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).

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.

Navigating the Disinformation Age: An Interview with Ed Coper
In this episode of the Conditional Release Program, host Joel Hill welcomes Ed Coper, author of 'Facts and Other Lies: Welcome to the Disinformation Age.' The episode explores various aspects of the modern disinformation landscape shaped by the post-truth era.
Coper's book, published in 2023, delves into academic research and real-world examples of disinformation, sprinkled with humor. The discussion highlights the role of social media, echo chambers, and the psychological aspects that make disinformation hard to combat. The conversation also covers pre-bunking vs. debunking techniques, the evolving role of AI in spreading disinformation, the influence of tech companies like Facebook and Twitter, and the necessity of a robust digital literacy curriculum. Future election campaigns and the role of disinformation are also discussed, with a focus on practical steps individuals can take to promote factual information.

In sport, the Test World Championship beckons. Will Australia defend its title and what of the powerhouse of world cricket, India?

In this episode we continue the process of unravelling RFK Jr.'s worm riddled brain. We continue to tear apart his absurd tweet which claims the FDA is waging war on things like 'exercise' and 'sunlight' and look further into the implications of his role in the Trump administration - if he actually gets confirmed.
As usual, the CRP10 coupon code still works at cbco.beer and apologies for this one coming out late - a bit of covid and a lot of day drinking has prevented me from editing and publishing it.

I took so long to upload this - mostly because of covid but also self indulgence. Had a good chat with Dave about cookers.
Just as a side note - I am going to get vaccinated around November from here onward. Covid goes mental during silly season. I prefer novavax because it has zero side effects for me (I am not a doctor this is not medical advice) but if we all jab up in October or so, we might not have to destroy christmas on a regular basis. My last jab was last year and covid last week SUCKED.
Episode is of course brought to you by CBCo but since recording they have sent me beers so my lack of beers are now lies. We love CBCo. CRP10 code still works. Buy their beer - it makes us look good, but it's also really good beer. I maintain their IPA is one of the best WCIPAs in the country and CHEAP!
The audio edit is a bit janky because it's done by AI but it's fine. I'm tired. Enjoy the episode!
Oh and a patron had an issue finding the SP group so here's a facebook like that might work.
PS the myplace song is at the end and I have not listened to it cause it's awful

Listeners! This week Jack is off trying to find himself in New Zealand. Something something Kia Ora. I tried to find someone to do this with but I put that in the too hard basket and recorded this one solo.
So yeah, it's just me this week.
So we - the royal we - look at Bovaer - the latest cooker outrage over a cattle feed supplement which lowers methane emissions. Don't eat it though. Especially if you are a rat.
And we - again, actually just me - look at the recent interlocutory hearing to kick off the vaccine injury class action headed up by Dr. Melissa McCann. It's going really badly. Which is a bit sad, in a way - cause a few people in the class probably deserve a payout.
By the time I started this, I had several standard drinks. Podcasting is so much harder on your own!
Hope ya like it. Jacks' back soon!
Enjoy.
-
The Two Jacks discuss two appeals - one filed, one pending both dealing with a recent murder, the other an horrific crime from the 1980s. What chance will these convicted murderers have of having their cases examined again?
Meanwhile inflation and the cost of living pressures in Australia are set to remain high on forecasts with the Reserve Bank unlikely to drop interest rates before the next election.
How will the Trade War between China and the US affect Australia? Badly, the Two Jacks suggest.
In sport, we review the Perth Test. Let's not forget that India are very good and Bumrah is the best fast bowler in the world. The dominance is set to continue in this series and into the foreseeable future.
-
The Two Jack's report on vandalism in eastern Sydney with an anti-Semitic bent while in Melbourne a nightclub is subject to arson, an indicator of organised crime's turf wars.
We examine the government's (with Opposition support) bill to prohibit kids under 16 from accessing social media. JTI believes this is not a winner for the government and will only increase talk of government overreach.
In India, Gautam Adani is indicted for financial crimes hy the US Dept of Justice.
In sport, Australia and India prepare to lock horns in the first of five Test series.
-
Apologies for the radio silence - besides licking my financial wounds and feeling like an absolute prat for getting my election prediction SO HORRIBLY WRONG it has been hard to find the time and energy to get behind the mic. Hey, at least I'm not that Ann Seltzer lady.
This episode also sounds like shit cause I recorded in a large room and did an AI edit. Damnit, you'll get what you get until law exams are done!
This episiode we are having a good look at the plans of RFK Jr. who you all know is going to Make America Healthy Again. Well, is he?
It's gonna be interesting. My inner cooker is fascinated to see how this goes, but as per usual the very positive things like removing toxic dyes from American food are completely counterbalanced by the fact that the person who plans to do it is a complete idiot.
Law school ends this week. The future is bright! Plan some road trips, listeners, cause you're getting content for Christmas!
Much love and I hope you enjoy!
-
The Two Jacks discuss the Albanese government's decision to prevent kids under 16 from accessing social media as well as the Misinformation and Disinformation (MAD) bill. The view from the two Jacks is that this is not a role for government and may end up becoming a vote loser for the government. The Two Jacks look at Trump's cabinet nominations thus far. Matt Gaetz and RFK Jr round off some very ordinary choices. Will they survive the scrutiny of the US senate? In sport, rugby beats cricket for ratings as the Wallabies are back!
-
The Two Jacks post US presidential election special. The Donald is back. How did it happen and why did the Dems and Harris fail?
-
Elon Musk takes a hit after a fairly average product launch but spoiler alert - there's no justice in the world.
Speaking of justice, the department of in the US might have a word with Elon due to his silly million dollar giveaway to get punters to register and vote for Trump.Will he get in trouble? Probably not.
Monica encourages parents to encourage children to go into toilets and film other kids...
...
...
Wow.
And we talk shit about the US general election where it's apparently close. Maybe it is. Feels like something is amiss.
Oh, Babet has half a brain.
Enjoy!
