Former NBA player Royce White is running for US Senate in Minnesota. Despite a long history of mental health activism and protests against police brutality, media like The Washington Post are trying to\xa0brand him\xa0as \u201ca far-right populist.\u201d\nThe late Dr. Vladimir Zelenko endorsed White, saying \u201cRoyce has sacrificed his NBA career in order to live according to his values and serve others\u2026 Royce is a force of bright White light fighting for our constitution and its Divinely inspired moral values.\u201d\nAfter being selected 16th overall by The Houston Rockets in the NBA draft,\xa0Royce White\xa0began to voice concerns about the NBA\u2019s collective bargaining agreement, specifically regarding mental health policy, which at the time did not exist. His activism continued to make national headlines by bringing attention to topics like Gain of Function Research, The Federal Reserve, Julian Assange, Edward Snowden, and The Great Reset \u2013 even when it put him at odds with the media and sports community. White made his professional MMA debut in 2021 and is currently the only active professional athlete in both MMA and Basketball.\nFollow him at\xa0https://x.com/Highway_30\xa0and find more about his campaign at\xa0https://roycewhite.us\n\u300c SPONSORED BY \u300d\nFind out more about the companies that make this show possible and get special discounts on amazing products at https://drdrew.com/sponsors\n\u2022 COZY EARTH - Susan and Drew love Cozy Earth's sheets & clothing made with super-soft viscose from bamboo!
