You're listening to the Liberty News Radio Network, and this is the political cesspool.
The Political Cesspool, known across the South and worldwide as the South's foremost populist conservative radio program.
And here to guide you through the murky waters of the political cesspool is your host, James Edwards.
And welcome back.
Well, great first hour, if I do say so myself, thanks to Sam Dixon and him adding to the conversation as we break down Election Day 2025.
Still a lot more to come, and we are going to diversify our menu going forward.
In the third hour, please stick around for the third hour tonight.
A lot of reaction to Tucker Carlson's interview with Nick Fuentes.
I'll touch on that, but I have some wider observations and advice if you would so indulge me, some advice to give to our friends.
In the third hour, we will get to all that.
Coming up this hour in just a moment, we're going to take one segment here at the top of the second hour just to close the door on the first hour's conversation.
And then we'll go to Don Wassell, a longtime friend, a longtime proprietor of the Cass football site where sports meets race or where race meets sports.
If you're interested in how racial dynamics are applied to sports, Don Wassel is the authority on that topic and on that conversation.
And we're going to be having him back tonight.
It's been a while since we've talked to Don, but we're going to be having him back tonight to talk about this NBA scandal.
The FBI arresting head coaches and players and others.
And they all happen to be black.
In the NBA.
Yes, they do.
For, well, we'll get into it with Don.
It's an interesting thing.
And I love how the FBI sort of just, it's very serious, but the name of the operation was Operation Royal Flush because they were engaged in illicit card games, allegedly, you know, with the mafia.
This is the other shoe that is dropping because of the NIL and things like that.
When you're paying athletes, well, they never are going to be paid enough.
So now that that particular bastion has fallen of amateurism, what is the next thing that's going to happen?
Well, cheating.
Okay, I don't want to get into that.
I think that NBA is criminally corrupt.
And I say that as, well, we'll get into it with Don.
We're taking up time here.
We can get into all that.
Let's get back into the last hour.
All right, so here's the thing.
So with that, the last hour.
We have a friend, Sam Dixon, and I have, well, I should say a mutual acquaintance that emails us from time to time.
And this is what he wrote.
And we'll go there and give you some time to give some parting shots as well, Keith.
Then we're going to get to Don Wassel.
And then in the third hour, some opinion, advice, takeaways.
I got some things to say to our movement faithful in the third hour.
Again, don't go anywhere.
But I got this email as well this week.
So to summarize, the basic principles of the Zahraian revolution and who are its supporters are, number one, the new mayor of New York believes that varied economic results is a clear indication of an unjust system.
This moral flaw must be adjusted by redistribution of jobs, housing, income, etc.
Also accepts the narrative of Israel as an exploitative colonial state, which is the same as Rhodesia in his worldview.
And that is interesting because that is something that I think Sam touched on.
They're not necessarily anti-Jewish.
They are anti-colonialism.
They see anti-Israel in that context that they can correlate with white Western people.
The thing is, comparing Rhodesia with Israel in terms of how they treated the minority population or the non-white population in their nation is ludicrous.
Well, I'm a big fan of Rhodesia.
Rhodesia was very high.
I get it.
That's how they see it.
Yeah, I understand that.
But see, that's what we need to understand.
They're comparing apples and oranges.
If the people of Palestine only wish that their next-door neighbors were the Rhodesians rather than the Israelis.
And lastly, he accepts the belief that America was at its birth and throughout the centuries deeply racist, sexist, and homophobic.
But the thing was, the opposition, Andrew Cuomo, believes basically all the same things just to a great white hope.
Heaven help us.
A watered-down degree.
Yeah, if he's a great white hope, heaven help us.
Because Cuomo, like, for example, it's hard for me to find common cause with a white person like Andrew Cuomo, okay?
Andrew Cuomo is our enemy.
He was the worst enemy that we can have.
Rio Cuomo.
Because he looked like us.
Yeah, well, that's right.
And, you know, Cuomo, Italian name.
All right.
So anyway, as close to the mic as you can, Keith, let's wrap this up before we get to Don and before we get to an entirely different topic in the third hour.
So just the election, not just even New York.
I mean, we have spent, I guess, 90% of the time covering Election Night 2025 on New York, and I get it.
It's the big ticket.
It's the big apple.
But would you have voted for checking notes, Winsom Earl Sears?
Would you have voted for that if you were a white man living in rural Virginia?
Would you have voted for that woman as governor?
No.
I wouldn't have either.
I tell you, I wouldn't have.
I don't care if she says she's with us on the issues.
I don't care if I see a ridiculous photo of her holding an Uzi or whatever.
I can't feel very much sympathy with her plight.
If New York is going to the dogs and she is the white person that I'm supposed to be empathizing with.
Well, I mean, she's the black Jamaican immigrant woman.
Oh, yeah, we have that on one hand.
Well, that's what I was asking.
Would you have voted for her?
No, I wouldn't have, and that's because our Republican Party is full of cucks, and we've got to purge the cucks out of there.
We need to stop rewarding.
Keep in mind that.
We've got to stop voting for people like Andrew Cuomo to be our standard bearers.
We need to get somebody like James Edwards to be our standard bearer.
Well, if I was, I couldn't spend Saturday night, every Saturday night with you.
Well, you'd make that a priority.
Yeah, well, I don't know.
Well, anyway.
Well, Pat, you know, Pat used to leave his TV shows to run for president, take his sojourns, and then he would come back and get back on the air again.
But anyway.
We've got to have a real choice.
For example, Curtis Sleewe got 7% of the vote, but he was the only candidate.
He looked at that peret, he was the only candidate that I could have possibly gotten behind in that race.
Imagine being the Republican nominee and getting 7% in a place.
Well, the thing is, that shows you how far gone New York City is, really.
And quite frankly, we need to leave it to its fate, which will be the fate of New York and Manhattan in the movie Escape from New York.
If you have never seen that, you need to check it out.
It's probably free on YouTube.
There's a sequel, Escape from L.A., that came out in the 90s, I believe, also starring Kurt Russell.
So again, I want to mention LibertyNewsRadio.com.
We're going to get out of our conversation on Election Night 2025, which again, I said this before.
You lose the mayorship of New York.
You lose the governorship of New Jersey.
Technically, it was in play.
Even that was astounding.
It will be a cautionary tale.
What happens for New York will be a cautionary tale of America.
That could be the less, losing the New York mayor's race, losing New Jersey, traditionally Democratic and, well, not Democratic, but Democratic.
Also losing Virginia with that woman.
All this shows to me is the necessity for two nations.
LibertyNewsRadio.com, go to the hour of decision.
Lou Moore, he breaks it all down, not as a commentator, but as a political operative, as a guy who has been a Republican congressional chief of staff in Washington, D.C., as Ron Paul's campaign manager, he breaks it down from that perspective, from the perspective of a GOP operative.
And he talks not just about the states that you know, but also interesting elections in California, Minnesota, and even Utah.
He breaks it all down.
And as well, New York, New Jersey, and Virginia.
All right, Keith, that's it.
We're going to go to Don Wassel.
Anything else?
Clear the tank now because we're going to Don.
We're going to shift our news to corruption in professional sports.
And then in the third hour, that Tucker Carlson interview.
And I'm going to just use that as a jumping off point into some other things that I just feel moved to say.
I don't have any sympathy with people that want to say that southern white people are somehow the architects of their own misfortune.
What has really happened is that we have been ignored, and we are the greatest repository of common sense that exists in America.
And we need to be proud of our ancestors and ourselves rather than apologizing for their role in the system of segregation, which time has shown now was the best solution for a situation where two very disparate races live in the same space.
You ready to talk about sports?
Yes, anytime now.
How'd your rebels do today?
Well, they rolled.
They didn't quite get over 50.
They got 49.
But it was, you know, there's a big difference, the haves and the have-nots.
Ole Miss has a lot of bought and sold players.
The NIL thing.
Citadel does not.
I guess Citadel will be sending our boys to Worth.
They got beat 49,000 by Ole Miss, but they're going to go to war for it.
Well, they can win a war, but they can't win a football game.
Well, we can't win a war either.
We'll be right back with Don Wassel.

We have now our second guest of the evening, our second and final, Don Wassel.
Now, Don Wassell is a lifer, like Sam Dixon, who came on in the first hour, but Don has been here from the very beginning.
Well, I mean, like Sam.
I mean, they share that.
But Don has his interests have been vast and varied.
I mean, he goes back to the old populist party.
He is, you know, certainly a publisher.
He is with American Freedom News.
But I guess most famously, Don may be remembered for his work with cast football.
This is where it starts.
This is where sports and race meet.
And if you're interested in the racial dynamic as it is applied to sports, as we said earlier, Don Wassell is truly the singular authority on that.
And before Keith asks his question, let's welcome Don back to the program.
Don, it has been entirely too long since we have heard your voice on these airwaves, my friend.
It's great to have you back tonight.
Hey, James, it's great to be with you and Keith.
And yeah, it's been a few weeks, but I'm glad to be here.
Well, tell me this.
I remember when I first became aware of the internet, cast football was around.
How long has CAS football been around?
Well, it's interesting because I've been listening, trying to catch up on your show recently.
And I know you, TBC started in 2004, correct?
About 21 years ago.
Yes.
This month or last year.
Exactly right.
Well, I started cast football in September of 2004, so we're about the same age.
Wow, how about that?
Well, that was a great little 30-day period for the call in September to October of 2004.
But of course, Don, you predate your work with CAS football, though it has certainly taken on a life of its own.
You predate that by decades with some of your other endeavors and personal applications.
This is true.
I go back a good 40 years of full-time effort in the trenches.
That's another thing, too, James.
I've been listening to your interviews last week with Jared Taylor and Rick Tyler and Eddie the Bombardier, who, by the way, is my friend now also.
I've been on his show a number of times.
Of course.
And, you know, you are all optimistic.
You're deeply worried about certain things in the country, but pretty amazed and happy about some of the things that have happened positively in recent years.
And I'm the same way.
Most of my time in this movement has just been survival, trying to get people, trying to grow, trying to do something.
And it's been very, very difficult.
There's been a lot more downs and ups.
But just in recent years, I think a lot of it's because of the alternative media.
It's because of a lot of brilliant young minds coming onto the scene.
And I just am amazed.
I mean, there's things, positive things going on that I didn't think would happen in my lifetime.
I'm very happy.
I think it's a great time to be alive.
It's a very terrible thing.
What did you do before cash football, Don?
I'm sorry?
What was that?
What did you do before cash football?
Were you involved in the movement at all before then?
Well, of course he was.
Well, that's what I want him to share with the audience.
You're talking about, okay.
You're asking a rhetorical question.
I was the executive director and then later the chairman of the Populist Party, which the second incarnation of it.
There was one in 1984, which quickly collapsed.
We started it up again in 1987 when I was a pup of 31 years old.
I was installed as executive director, later became the chairman of it.
And actually, it was a pretty successful right-wing party.
It's the only one since the end of World War II that got any traction at all in this country.
I mean, you can look at one and off like the George Wallace presidential campaign, but that was built around somebody, a sitting governor, had a huge following, whereas we were just building from the grassroots up without any national leader or barely any funding.
And yet we had two presidential candidates, two presidential campaigns.
We ran David Duke in 1988 and Lieutenant Colonel Bo Greitz in 1992.
We were on the ballot in 13 states in 88, 16 states in 92.
We had ballots, balloted candidates all through the country for about eight years there, all regions too, including the South.
And we were doing pretty well until things sort of, well, I don't want to go into detail.
That's quite a pedigree.
Let me just say that.
You have a better and lengthier pedigree than most everybody I know in this thing.
Indeed.
I didn't catch that.
What was that, Keith?
He was just saying that you go back a long way.
Your pedigree is as impressive, if not more so, than just about anybody in this game today.
And I would agree with that.
You do go back a long way.
And your interest and your things that you have been involved in have been vast and varied from publishing with American Freedom News to the Populist Party, cast football, and other endeavors as well.
Second, when Don Gossel is on 38 years, monthly political newspaper that originally called the Populist Observer, then it became the Nationalist Times.
It ended up being called the Freedom Times.
It started in 1985 and lasted until 23, 2023, when just too many trends were working against it.
The hyperinflation of the Biden years, increasing cost, donations were leveled off and went down, an aging audience, decline of print media in general.
So, I mean, it had a good run, but nothing lasts forever.
You know, pretty much everything's on the end.
And now, back to the future.
Tell us about this betting scandal in the NBA.
Well, we'll get to that in just a second.
But just to preface that, it's again to say that Don has been there and done that in our movement.
And he's got the battle scars to show for it.
But I just got to say, in all seriousness and in all earnest, to be very earnest, Don, it is great to have you back on tonight.
When you come on, you cast a shadow.
And it's great to have you back on tonight after all these years.
I appreciate it, James.
I really do.
And right back at you, I appreciate people.
I mean, you're talking about me and Sam being around a long time.
You're still a young man, but you've been at it a long time, too.
I have nothing but respect for those of us that stick it out through thick and thin and don't give in, don't give up.
So you've been an important person in this movement for a long time.
Well, that coming from people like you and Sam, you know, means the world to me.
I've been in this since I was 19 and on the radio since I was 24, was a candidate when I was 22.
And now I'm 45 and I've got three kids and I've got inflammation.
And it's well as I used to.
Not quite as old as Keith.
Not quite as old.
Getting long in the twos.
Not quite as old as Keith yet, but I sure don't get around as good as I did when I first had this show.
But anyway, well, listen, I don't want to open up this can of worms about the NBA just yet because we only have three or four minutes remaining this segment.
And I did want to spend a little bit of time reintroducing you to this particular audience.
And I know so many of them know you, but for the benefit of those who are new listeners, now they have a little bit better of an idea.
We will spend the remaining half hour talking about what's going on in the NBA and corruption in sports in general.
But before we do that, cast football.
We've mentioned it a few times.
Why was this such an interest to you?
Because it really is, I don't want to say a niche, but it's something that has no coverage elsewhere.
And when you look at our people, I mean, our people certainly see racial stereotypes in sports and black domination of sports.
Well, in terms of the promotion and things like that, but anti-whitism in sports and just the whole thing about whites, you know, not being able to compete with blacks on a physical level.
I mean, you really tapped into that, and you're the only one who did.
And it's, you know, again, cast football is something that is very interesting to me as somebody who played basketball in school and grew up watching it.
But it's not just basketball, it's all the sports.
And so many white people are willing to concede that blacks are superior athletes.
So why was this something that you really wanted to devote a great deal of attention to and really built a substantial following as a result of?
Well, because I know the things you said about blacks, people, white people thinking blacks are superior athletes and the blacks getting more promotion, et cetera.
These things are wrong.
Whites are the best all-around athletes.
So I've had an interest in sports all my life.
I followed it.
And then I became racially aware in my 20s.
And I'd watch NFL games and start doing head counts, racial headcounts.
And I noticed the NFL was getting blacker and blacker.
Now, why was that happening?
Well, of course, like with everything else, there was an agenda to it.
And I think I know this is a hard nut to crack with white people.
A lot of white people don't have an interest in sports because they just see it as black dominated.
But this is very important.
Physicality, sports, athleticism.
I mean, this is an important part of life.
And we have been beaten down with these lies that blacks are superior to us.
And it is not the case at all.
So it's surprising to me that cast football is still one of a kind after all these years.
But it has hung in there and it does have a following, even though we're totally blacked out by the search engines.
We still have people joining.
We have the, I think actually the traffic is more than ever.
So it's there.
It fills an important role.
And I think we've actually made headway.
If you go like the YouTube comments and places where people can comment after articles, when they degrade a white athlete, there's a lot of people, white people will jump in now and point out the stereotyping and the a lot of what's going on and how it's wrong and how whites are not getting a fair chance, especially in football and basketball.
So there was a definite.
I think it's very dangerous for white people to accept that.
We don't want to become a race of bookworms.
And for example, when my children were going to high school, I noticed that, you know, white kids weren't going out for the basketball team.
They weren't, you know, they had some numbers in the football teams, but they knew they weren't going to get scholarships, even though they were beating majority black schools.
I got to say something about that, Keith, very quickly.
That's exactly right.
That's a big part of it.
It's so unfair.
I mean, it's the same holds true in football.
A lot of white, these suburban, they're not always suburban.
A lot of these white, predominantly white high schools beat the crap out of predominantly black schools and football.
And who gets the scholarships?
The black kids.
My dad, who's tuned in tonight, my dad never misses a show.
I would hear about this at Thanksgiving if I don't mention this.
So my dad was the coach of the, well, I'll tell you.
Briar Crest, you know Briar Crest, Keith?
Yeah, the Tuesday and what's the name of that?
The blind side.
The blind side.
He came in later.
Hugh Freeze was one of my teachers, actually.
The guy that just got fired at Albert.
And who was your alma mater's coach at Old Home?
All right, we really got to get to the NBA thing.
We've been teasing it for 30 minutes.
We haven't even touched on it yet, but we will.
I got to tell a quick story, anecdotally, of course, and then Don Wassell on the NBA.
Your daily Liberty Newswire.
You're listening to Liberty News Radio.
News this hour from Town Hall.
I'm Mary Rose.
The Jewish reaction to the election of New York's first Muslim mayor was swift and strong.
Mamdani's main rival, former Governor Andrew Cuomo, received roughly 60% of the Jewish vote, according to the AP voter poll.
Throughout his campaign, Mamdani was steadfast in his criticism of Israel's military conduct in Gaza, depicting it as a genocide targeting Palestinians.
But he denounced the October 7th, 2023 Hamas attack on Israel and denied suggestions that he is insufficiently opposed to anti-Semitism.
The Supreme Court has granted the Trump administration's emergency appeal to temporarily block a court order to fully fund SNAP food aid payments amid the government shutdown.
A judge had given the Trump administration until Friday to make the payments through the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program.
But the administration asked an appeals court to suspend any court orders requiring it to spend more money than is available in a contingency fund.
After the appeal score declined to immediately intervene, the high court issued an order.
Correspondent Ken Lorman says Supreme Court Justice Kantanji Brown Jackson issued the order late Friday pausing their requirement to distribute full snap payments until the appeals court rules on whether to issue more lasting paws.
Public policy expert Matthew Contanetti says the GOP needs to articulate their cost of living agenda.
I think also more attention to falling gas prices, that's good, but we also have to form some type of agenda to make sure that health care costs and housing costs fall as well.
UPS and FedEx have temporarily grounded their fleets of McDonnell Douglas MD-11s, which was the type of plane involved in a deadly crash earlier this week.
Both companies said the decision was made out of an abundance of caution.

I can't wait for the rest of this conversation.
We were just in the last five minutes during the long bottom-of-the-hour break.
Don and Keith and I were really sinking our teeth into what you're going to be hearing for the next 30 minutes.
But I have to share this story first about the fallacy of black athletic superiority.
And that is a personal anecdote.
My dad was very well known as a celebrated youth basketball coach.
High school basketball.
Well, when I went to, you know, I was at Briarcrest.
And then when I went into the seventh grade, he got tapped to coach the seventh grade team.
And we won the championship.
We went 29 and three.
The only three losses we had were to eighth grade teams in invitational tournaments, like sort of like they're not exhibitions, but you know, they're not league play either.
Middle school basketball.
So, but then the eighth grade team, we went 43 and oh, 43 and 0.
The only team still to this day at Briarcrest that ever explains Briar.
Briarcrest was a segregation academy.
But it's also a very prominent Christian.
One of the ones that has come out is prosperous and it still exists today.
Well, and all the founding administrators of Briarcrest in the 70s admitted, you know, of course, for our segregation academy.
Now they run from that.
But nevertheless, 43-0, it was an all-white team, all-white team.
And I will tell you this, Don, you will be interested to know that whenever we had a team like Craigmont on the schedule, how would you describe Craigmont?
Black.
Public school.
All-black public school.
Those would beat the games we'd won by 40 points.
If it was MUS or Harding, which were, you know, wealthy, white private schools.
Those were the teams that we had to beat.
And those were the teams that gave us the most trouble.
Still 43-0, but it was the black teams and the all-black teams that were the blowouts.
And they were the only ones.
So, you know, the only ones that got scholarships to college.
Take that with a grain of salt or take that colonel with what you will.
But that is my personal testimony as having been a player at a very low level.
But that's what I witnessed, and that's what we saw.
Well, you know what?
I mean, what's happened too since then is that the black talent pool keeps shrinking.
Now, why is that?
I think my opinion is because of the decimation of the black family.
I mean, the NFL and the NBA, they recruit from ghettos almost exclusively.
And then these get more and more ghetto kids are in the drugs, video game games.
They want to get paid.
And so the quality of the black athletes, even the ones that shouldn't be getting scholarships and the ones that are, it's not what it used to be.
And there's so many, if you watch NBA and especially the NFL, there's just so much going on.
The NFL is nothing but a racial spoil system.
That's what it's turned into, where unqualified blacks get college scholarships, and then they get drafted in the NFL over so many whites that they're better players.
So this is, you know, it's outrageous, and it's pretty obvious if you study it closely.
But the thing is, so many whites, they've just tuned out of sports.
I think if we're going to make America great again, we have to understand what's going on in sports as part of the great replacement.
That's how, you know, people say, what's the caste system?
I'd say, well, just it's like DEI and the great replacement, but it started in sports and then spread to the rest of society.
I mean, you turn on the TV now.
Look at the advertising.
The advertising industry looks like the NFL.
I mean, you hardly see a white face anymore.
Unless you're part of a mixed race cover.
All the couples are mixed race, too.
Right, that's right.
So, and men have been degraded to an incredible degree, and that's what it started with sports and spread from there.
Okay, so that having been said.
But there was a good cover.
I mean, the fact is that blacks can be good athletes.
There's no question about it.
But that fact has been taken and extorted, you know, taken far, distorted far beyond the reality of it all.
You know, you're watching that NFL game, you know, you see like no whites on defense.
Come on.
I mean, it's just absurd how extreme the NFL has become in its racial spoil system.
And again, that website is castefootball.us, cast as the racial caste system, C-A-S-T-E.
The caste system in India.
Castfootball.us.
If you are interested in the intersection of race and sports.
But anyway, we've been talking about this is the first segment of the first hour.
We've been teasing that you would be on tonight to talk about the NBA betting scandal.
So this is a huge thing.
Don't make lies out of us.
Yeah, exactly.
We've got to get to it.
So this thing with the National Basketball Association, which is one of the four major leagues, along with, of course, the NFL, the Major League Baseball, and the National Hockey League, one of the four bigs.
And they are just sort of in this scandal right now, this controversy.
The FBI, after the season started just about two weeks ago, the FBI started arresting head coaches and players for either betting on games themselves or playing in allegedly mafia-run card games where they were used as the bait to bring in higher rollers,
and then they were using tactics, including x-ray goggles apparently, to make sure that they fleece these people.
It's just an amazing story.
It's really a made-for-Hollywood story, but this is what happens apparently in the NBA.
And it's kind of incredible that James's beloved Portland Trailblazers, known during his childhood as the Portland Jailblazers, are at the focal point of all this.
No, no, no.
They were the Jailblazers long after my childhood.
When I was a child, it was Clyde Drexler, Terry Porter, Buck Williams, Jerome Kersey, Kevin Duckworth.
But anyway, so this is an interesting thing.
What do you know about it, Don?
Well, I kind of want to, I'll begin with it, and then I'm going to diverge a little bit and then circle back to it.
I used to follow basketball in the 70s, 80s, 90s into the 2000s.
I loved the Boston Celtics in the 1980s.
They were sort of like the New England Patriots of Larry Burr.
This century.
Right.
They were disproportionately weighed and disproportionately successful.
So that was a lot of fun reading for them.
But I lost interest in basketball.
But I have on cash football.
We have people that post regularly about the NBA and college basketball.
And see, that's one of the great things about cash football.
Every sport is covered by people that are experts in it.
Some people are knowledgeable about every sport.
Others specialize just maybe in one or two sports.
And so what I do with the NBA, instead of watching games, which I don't want to do anymore, I'll just go to cash football and the NBA forum and see what people are writing.
So I went earlier today and I looked to see what was written about this scandal, and there was very little, which actually, when I think about it, doesn't surprise me because, and again, I'll circle back to it, but I think it's because our society has become so corrupt, so scandal-filled, and there's no accountability if you know the right people.
You're in the 1%, 10%, or whatever.
It's just, this happens all the time to the point where people are jaded to it and don't react.
They're desensitized to the standards of yesterday.
They don't, you know, the fact that you shouldn't gamble on the games you play in, that is no longer, that's an old hat.
So what happened here, though, just to quickly interject, and then we'll let Don continue.
The NBA, they have already arrested head coaches and players for engaging in all sorts of schemes.
They call it Operation Royal Flush, is the official operation with the FBI.
But players would inform bettors that they would be taking themselves out of games so they could bet the under on their props.
Like under, they would bet under on this player would score this many points.
Well, I'm going to fake an injury after I check in.
You bet the under, you're going to win.
It's even alleged that the head coach of the Portland Trailblazers or the former head coach, Chauncey Phillips, bet that the Blazers would lose and he would pull all of the starters.
I mean, this is how far you.
You can't make it up.
And then other players doing similar things because, you know, hey, if you have $100 million in career earnings, why not go for another $10,000 on a bet?
What in the world and what in the hell is going on in professional sports with the Onset of professional sports gambling, which did not exist up until a few years ago, Don.
And now it dominates.
So, if I want to, again, I'm going to diverge a little bit and go back to the 19, the wholesome 1950s.
There was a point-shaving scandal in college basketball back in the 1950s.
And Keith, maybe you two, James, you remember the quiz show scandal in the 1950s?
That was the point.
The point is, the point is that it's fair to say this country has always had a fair amount of grifters, commons, snake oil salesmen, et cetera, even in the 1950s, okay, and before.
But now, since then, in the society we live in now, it's just grown exponentially to the point where there's scandal after scandal.
You just expect things like this.
It's just part of a news cycle for a day or two, and then it disappears.
But yeah, also in 2007, there was a referee, Tim Donaghy, who pleaded guilty to betting on games that he officiated in an NBA official.
Okay.
And then there was basically nothing came of that.
Now, just today, okay, this is part of my point.
Just today, I found an article.
Six players from three colleges, basketball again, through games or shared betting info.
This was just today, they made news.
Six and to six former men's college basketball players at three schools, New Orleans, Mississippi Valley State, and Arizona State, participated in gambling schemes that included game manipulation or sharing information with known voters.
Now, I'll read you the first names.
It then gives the first three names.
I'll give you their first names, and I think everyone listening will understand their background.
Day Day, Jamond, and Dyquavian.
Okay, these are the players.
Dyquavian is one of my new all-time favorites.
So this was just today.
So this has become way, way too common.
But to get back to the NBA scandal, I would recommend people go to Jason Whitlock.
He's a black truth teller.
He go to his YouTube channel.
And he had a really good video about this scandal a couple weeks ago.
He had a clip of the Rogier, Terry Rogere, the player, him just throwing up clankers, shots from not far away that didn't even hit the rim.
Shot after shot.
This is one of the games where he had advised his either friends or mob-related acquaintances.
He was basically going to throw it for them so they could win the battle.
Yeah, and then he had a segment with the idiot Stephen Smith who blamed Donald Trump for it.
And what Whitlock said, though, he said, you cannot point out that all these players involved are black because you'll be called a racist.
And you can point out who controls the NBA, meaning the commissioner and most of the owners, you'll be called an anti-Semite.
So let's, you know, what a toxic mixture, blacks and Jews.
Well, I mean, that's, you know, scuff it off on the good old mothy.
I guess Tony Zabrano's crew in Newark is still around.
You know, I mean, I'm sure they were, you know, the real force behind all this.
Well, I mean, I don't doubt, but I mean, it's just amazing.
Chauncey Phillips, let's focus on that.
Now, this was a guy who was an NBA all-star and NBA champion with the Detroit Pistons.
He sure made plenty of money.
He earned over $100 million as a player, not counting the tens of millions he earned as a coach.
And he was engaging in this allegedly.
I mean, he has been arrested.
He has been indicted.
It's going to flush through the system.
I sincerely doubt that he's innocent.
The more things change, the more they'll stay the same.
But I mean, you know, being used, they call him a fish card or, you know, The lingo, but he was basically a face card is what they called him to lure the fish, which were these unwinning gamblers who would pay big money to sit at a table for poker with an NBA all-star, an NBA coach.
And basically, there was no way they were going to win.
Why would you risk all of that?
I mean, I know that there are a lot of fools out there who basically lose their money.
But the whole NBA.
You mentioned, though, Tim Donaghy.
That's an interesting name.
This was an NBA official who was working with some of the same people, and he got arrested, did some time, I think, and then wrote a book about it.
And he said, the NBA is rigged.
And you say, well, he's a disgraced official.
What else is he going to say now?
A lot of former players have said the same thing.
I go back to, again, you've had two NBA commissioners since 1984, David Stern, a Jew born in New York, and Adam Silver, a Jew born in New York.
David Stern, though, especially when the NBA was still in its infancy, you know, back in the late 80s, I mean, NBA finals games were tape delayed, Don.
And then you had Michael Jordan and the Nike contract and all of that.
And they made sure that their breadwinners won.
And Tim Donnegan said, yeah, the NBA was rigged.
They would tell us that we have to give it to Shaq, to Kobe, to the Lakers.
We have to give it to Jordan, you know, no matter what.
And a lot of those guys were very close, decided by two or three points.
I watched some stuff with the Utah Jazz at one of those finals.
I mean, you know, the shot clock would have very obviously not have gone off.
They would call it a shot clock violation.
I mean, just a few calls like this per game could swing championships.
I think that it's entirely corrupt.
And now with the onset of sports betting, even more so.
Well, that's the thing.
I mean, sports betting, look what happened how Pete Rose was persecuted for betting on sports back in the 80s.
He bet on his own team to win.
He bet on his team to win.
Right, to win.
He never bet on his team to lose.
That's a big difference.
If he had bet on his team to lose, and I could see, understand what they did to him, but he bet on his team to win.
And they never let him, the greatest hitter of all time as far as hits, never let him in the Hall of Fame.
And in the meantime, while he was still alive, sports gambling went totally mainstream.
You have two huge corporations now, DraftKings and FanDuel, that they run commercials during sporting events.
Well, not only that, they sponsor entirely.
They're sponsored by FanDuel.
So, yeah, about half of the sports shows now are telling you how to bet certain parlays and things like that.
Right.
All right, so what does that do for the integrity?
What does that do for the integrity of the game, Don?
Well, it should shake the faith of the fans.
And I'll tell you what, you watch like an NFL game where they all meet afterwards on the field to play, and you can't tell who won or who lost.
They're all smile and slap and stuff.
I'll see you at the strip club in a couple hours or something.
Right, no, no, no, Don's on to something because you did not see that now.
The fans go into a deep depression when the home team more than players do.
That's a takeaway, Don.
That's something, you know, because again, I never watched, I casually watched football, never watched baseball or hockey at all.
But I was a big basketball fan in the 80s and 90s, you know, coming of age as a young boy.
And those teams and those players hated each other.
Now, as you say, I mean, that's just another thing about Larry Bird, for example.
I mean, Larry Bird and Magic Johnson, they were genuinely competing against each other tooth and nail, I think.
Yeah.
And you had a guy like Bill Lambert on Detroit that the black players kept attacking and beating on because they hated him because he was an aggressive player himself.
I mean, there was genuine dislike back then.
Now they're all mercenaries.
That's exactly right.
But nevertheless, getting back to the NBA, I agree.
And I do believe having been a fan who, you know, in my younger years as a boy and as a young teenager, watched the NBA, watched every game, you could just see that there was something wrong.
I mean, these big market teams, these big market players, there was never a breakthrough.
Now there's a little bit more parity, but the game has gone global.
And now you have sports betting here to subsidize it all.
But this NBA scandal, though, now currently, I mean, it is interesting.
And how does it correlate?
And how do we tie it back in with everything that we're here to talk about on this program?
And of course, with cast football, I mean, there's interesting takeaways there with the Jewish commissioners and the black people being indicted.
There hasn't been a white Gentile that has been tied up in this mix yet as so far.
There's not been any left in the NBA.
Well, there's a few.
There's a few.
Mostly Europeans, but there's a few.
Well, the Joker for the Denver Nuggets has won a couple of MVPs.
European white players aren't propagandized from childhood as to their inferiority.
And that's why they can get them.
That's exactly right.
That's exactly.
It's the same in like tennis and boxing, things like that, where they don't have the, they haven't been beaten down mentally.
So that's why you see a lot of Euros, like the Klitschko brothers in boxing.
I mean, they beat the heck out of everybody.
You've got somebody like that.
That's why ESPN no longer covers boxing.
Yeah.
Oh, that's right.
They're not intimidated like American whites are.
And maybe intimidated is not the right word, but American whites know that they can't be, you know, they sort of have to control themselves even when they don't want to, you know?
So there's no question.
But I think that's changing too.
I think there is a racial awakening taking place slowly but surely.
And that's one of the things I'm optimistic about.
If I can pat myself on the back a little bit, I think cast football, even though it's been this lonely outpost all these years, I think we have actually changed some things.
I think the announcing is fairer than it used to be.
There's not as many stereotypes about whites.
They're fair in the way they describe them now.
And so I see a lot more people that will jump up and defend white players when they're not being given a fair chance or whatever.
So I think this is one of the beacon of truth.
The website has actually made some improvements.
Don, it's the only one that has applied our position on racial realities to sports.
The only one.
It's astonishing that it is the only one, but still to this day, it is the only one you've soldiered on.
I'm sure it's been a lonely trudge.
Well, it doesn't help when the search engines, you know, we're getting a lot of people sign up and the search engines all of a sudden.
You know what happened back around 17, 18, all the deplatforming and censoring and everything.
And so it became a lot harder to get posters.
Yeah, but we have soldiered on.
We got a lot of really good posters, a lot that have been with us, if not from the beginning, almost from the beginning.
So, yeah, it's been gratifying.
And I do think we have made a difference.
Maybe not a huge one, but we have started to we've wakened up more than a few people to what's going on, including white athletes.
I've been contacted by former NFL players, former NBA players, a few sprinters.
And, you know, they all say they've emailed me and say, hey, what you're saying is right.
There's no question.
So, I mean, I know we're on the right track.
That's remarkable, by the way, what you just said.
Let's give all of that contact information.
We mentioned castfootball.us, cast C-A-S-T-E, castfootball.us.
Football spelled the American way, not the European way, castfootball.us.
Anything else you want to plug tonight, Don?
Yeah, my other website is AmericanFreedomNews.us.
Again, .us.com.
That's a great one.
It's on our way to the bank.us.
That's updated every day.
Like Eddie likes to call it an online newspaper.
At first, I thought, well, I don't think so.
But the more I think about it, yeah, he's right.
That's what it is.
So I always say you go there, you can be well-informed.
Every day I've got to go to the next step.
Well, it always has new content, too.
You know, it always has new content in there.
It's one of the things I always stop and read.
There are at least two or three articles every day that I want to read.
That's great.
Oh, I see.
You know, you go there every day, you'll be the best informed person in your neighborhood.
That's you, Keith, on Central Avenue there in Memphis.
Keith's one of the 24% of white people that still live in Memphis, and he's here today.
Oh, wow.
It's 24% now, Keith, but Keith's holding the line.
He's digging his heels in.
But, you know, there's one thing to be said, too, about, you know, this whole thing with sports betting is the propensity for black athletes to make hundreds of millions of dollars and then be broke a year after they're out of the league.
What is that about, Don?
I mean, because you read stories about that all the time.
They're a diamond dollar.
I've got a thought about that, too, when you get through, Don.
Well, we've got a minute left.
Go, Don.
Well, I'll be a little generous to a point because some of them, they come from ghetto backgrounds.
They don't have a father, you know, and all of a sudden they're thrust into the limelight and they're making billions and millions of dollars and they don't handle it well.
So let's be kind about that.
But, you know, a lot of it's just stupidity, not planning ahead.
Here's my theory.
Here's my theory.
How could you spend $100 million, Keith?
Very well.
But let me just tell you this.
If you made $100 million, would you ever be broke?
No, I never would.
Post-concussive syndrome is the new theory to find a way to funnel money to these black ex-athletes that have squandered their earnings, I think.
Well, there's always an excuse for them.
You got to find some way to get them there.
And there's no gambling lottery that is worse than our legal system.
All right.
So the future of professional sports, the four majors with sports gambling not only being allowed now, which prior to just a few years ago, it was outright outlawed, but now it's being promoted by the leagues themselves.
What's the future there, Don?
Well, it's interesting.
I watch a lot of hockey, and the rinks now, the ice surface is pretty much almost, seems like it's almost covered with corporate logos, you know, and the players' uniforms themselves.
They're starting to wear corporate logos.
They're starting to look like NASCAR drivers, head to toe pretty soon.
They'll look like NASCAR drivers covered with corporate logos and golfers.
I think a big part of the problem, James, and Keith, is just this society has become totally corporatized, which means it becomes totally impersonal.
It's driven by mega corporations for profit and for their stockholders, et cetera, et cetera.
And all the things that used to be good about sports are disappearing.
I mean, I remember when I was a kid, I knew this was a lot of fun.
It's all driven by money.
Baseball stadium, but now they change it.
Every two, three years, it has a different corporate name.
Everything's gone corporate.
Yes, yes.
In the 90s, I mean, you know, I can remember every stadium in the NBA was Memorial Coliseum.
Basically, you know, it's a big team or something.
You know, now it's Burger Cook Field or something.
The gay little family changes every couple of years.
Yeah, Don, you're spot on.
Well, AmericanFreedomNews.us, cast football U.S., if you are interested in where race and sports collides, Don Wassell was not just the pioneer, the president, the founder.
He is still to this day the only man on that pair.
