On today's John Gerardi Show, John discusses the concept of "believe all women" by comparing the allegations against Graham Platner to those against Donald Trump and Brett Kavanaugh. The creepy way that the media coordinated the exits of both Platner and Eric Swallwell (as soon as they became a political liability) make John worry about their ongoing power to manipulate politics as Democrat partisans.

ABC7 reports that the Newport Beach July 4 celebrations devolved into one of the largest public-safety incidents the city has seen in years. Police arrested 402 people, most of them reportedly young visitors from outside California, after crowds allegedly engaged in fights, launched fireworks at officers and civilians, blocked roads, and looted a grocery store. The arrests were more than six times higher than during the same holiday period a year earlier. The California Board of Registered Nursing has recommended license revocation or suspension for two Fresno Unified school nurses — Lydia Chrisel White and Xai Elizabeth Torres — and referred both cases to the state Attorney General's Office following the February 2022 death of an 11-year-old student at Homan Elementary School. The district has since paid a $1.76 million settlement to nurses who alleged Torres discriminated against them, and faces multiple additional lawsuits alleging nepotism and retaliation connected to the same leadership network.

Parents, students, and educators are speaking out against a sweeping leadership reshuffle across the Fresno Unified School District that will reassign dozens of school administrators. The district plans to move five principals and 26 vice principals from their current campuses, including many tenured leaders with years of experience at their respective schools. Firefighters are battling an explosive fire that broke out at a large cold storage facility in Boyle Heights on Wednesday afternoon, prompting a shelter-in-place in the area due to heavy smoke. It’s possible that this fire could turn into a hazardous materials situation, according to Sky5’s Gil Leyvas, who is over the scene, so residents in the area are urged to take precautions.

Fresno Unified is reducing staff due to falling enrollment and budget shortfalls. Older, more senior staff can “bump” less-senior employees into other roles to stay employed, but this may involve pay cuts or demotions. The teachers' union is pushing back, pointing to healthy reserve funds, while district officials say cuts are vital to protect student services amid ongoing enrollment declines. The Clovis City Council has paused plans to add term limits, even though a city survey found 79% of residents support the idea. Council members voting to table the proposal said they want to first see how the city’s new district‑based elections work, while others argued the council should honor the clear public feedback and let voters decide at the ballot box.

The Fresno Unified school board approved an $80,000 expenditure to renew its board leadership coaching contract for the next two years. The Fresno Unified School Board is divided over the city of Fresno’s decades-old Southeast Development Area plan. A proposed bylaw amendment would allow the legislative committee, comprised of three trustees, to “advocate and support legislation that aligns and improves student outcomes, goals, and guardrails.” The adjustment passed in a 5-2 vote after a tense back-and-forth between trustees. The Annenberg Wildlife Crossing over U.S. 101 in Los Angeles County is nearing its long‑awaited opening, with officials announcing a target date later this year. The landmark project is designed to safely reconnect wildlife habitats split by the freeway, helping mountain lions and other animals cross while reducing crashes and restoring ecosystems.

New video shows Fresno Unified workers tackling and holding down a suspect accused of stealing a car with children still inside. Police say the employees acted quickly, stopping the suspect before anyone was hurt and keeping the children safe until officers arrived. An ethics complaint claims a pro‑Matt Mahan PAC and his campaign illegally coordinated, citing calls where billionaire donors Michael Moritz and Rick Caruso discussed joint strategy.

Fresno Unified trustees adopted a resolution this week aimed at addressing on-campus homages to Cesar Chavez, and the school district has begun to cover murals on school campuses honoring the late labor leader. Fresno Unified spokesperson Adela Garcia Duncan confirmed the district has begun the process of amending existing murals of Chavez after the emergence of sexual abuse allegations against the late labor icon. A lone hacker used Anthropic’s Claude and OpenAI’s ChatGPT to breach nine Mexican government agencies, stealing roughly 150 GB of data—about 195 million citizen records. Claude automated around 75% of remote commands, while ChatGPT handled data processing across 305 servers, allowing one person to act like a full cyber‑team. The breach exposes how publicly accessible AI can be weaponized for large‑scale hacking and signals major new threats to cybersecurity.

Fresno Unified is considering whether to remove all references to César Chávez from district schools and facilities. The debate has sparked strong reactions, with supporters calling it an erasure of civil‑rights history and critics questioning Chávez’s legacy and whether schools should honor controversial figures. The district launched its audit on retirees’ dependents amid a network dispute that temporarily disrupted health care services for thousands of retirees and their dependents. Retirees last month filed a class-action lawsuit against the district over healthcare plan changes in 2023 they say diluted their benefits.

Several candidates are preparing for a school board election nine months away to represent the southwest region of Fresno Unified School District. Keshia Thomas, who represents the Edison High region, is running for Fresno City Council District 3. If Thomas doesn’t make it out of the June 2 council primary, the door would open for her to seek re-election to the school board in Area 1. Section 230 of the Communications Decency Act turns 30 this year, and it’s done something remarkable: It’s allowed American innovation and free expression to flourish in ways nobody could have predicted three decades ago.

Philip takes a look at the latest from FUSD. Several Superintendents from some of the largest school districts in California are calling for the state to make changes to the public-school funding model.

Fresno Unified School District Trustees will receive double the amount of pay after the recent passage of a state assembly bill. The pay is increasing from $ 2,100 a month to about $ 4,500 a month. This is a move that has not happened since the 1980’s. Fresno Unified denied allegations made by some retirees in a complaint letter and said that the 2023 health insurance changes do not constitute a loss of benefits or a breach of the collective bargaining agreement. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit sitting en banc heard consolidated challenges to Louisiana and Texas laws requiring display of a nonsectarian version of the Ten Commandments in public school classrooms. The Establishment Clause prohibits the government from establishing an official religion or coercing religious practice.

This week, Jason and Matt sit down with Mark Goodwin, the former Editor-in-Chief of *Bitcoin Magazine* and one of the sharpest minds in the crypto space. Mark is the author of "The Bitcoin-Dollar" thesis and a leading voice on the intersection of state power, financial control, and the future of money. We dive deep into one of the most dangerous psyops in modern finance: the stablecoin trap. Mark explains why "compliant," centralized stablecoins like USDC are not the free-market alternative to a CBDC, but are, in fact, *more dangerous*. They are the Trojan horse for the exact same surveillance grid—a CBDC in sheep's clothing, built by corporate partners and designed to be fully permissioned, frozen, and censored at the state's command. Mark breaks down the macro-picture, revealing how stablecoins backed by U.S. Treasuries are the empire's new, high-tech scheme to kick the can down the road. As the national debt hits escape velocity, the state is now "tokenizing its debt," creating a new digital wrapper to prop up the dollar ponzi. We explore the perfect bipartisan consensus that's building this digital prison: the MAGA right rails against CBDCs while embracing "federally approved" stablecoins, while the left demands the very regulations that make them instruments of surveillance. Both roads lead to the technocratic end-goal voiced by BlackRock's Larry Fink: the tokenization of *all* assets. We also explore the dark theory of whether Bitcoin itself was an intelligence agency "limited hangout" designed to herd us into a traceable system. Finally, we end on a powerful white pill. If centralized stablecoins are the trap, the only way out is through *permissionless* technology. We discuss the critical need for true privacy tools—like Monero, Zcash, and Zano's fUSD—that are *technologically incapable* of being co-opted, and how the market is finally waking up to the demand for real financial freedom.
