In this episode of Western Conservative, we dig into two stories that reveal how deep the rot runs in both sports and government — the NBA gambling scandal shaking pro basketball and California's Prop 50.

• NBA Under the Microscope: Terry Rozier, Chauncey Billups, and Damon Jones accused of fixing games for the mafia.

• Follow the Money: The leagues and sportsbooks are cashing in while fans get played — literally.

• California's Prop 50: The Golden State once again shows us how not to govern — punishing dissent and centralizing power under the guise of "ethics."

• Connecting the Dots: From the NBA's moral blind spots to Sacramento's political games, both stories expose how institutions use rules selectively to protect their power.
