23 Aug 2025

Transcription

Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?

0.031 - 6.479 Royce White

until we can get a head count of how many people we actually let in this country and get the border completely secured.

0

Chapter 2: What challenges does Royce White face as a Senate candidate?

6.499 - 19.014 Royce White

Now, Donald Trump did do a fantastic job of getting the border secure really quick. But, you know, if you're illegal, especially if you came under, you know, under the Biden administration these last four years, your ass is going back.

0

Chapter 3: How do voting machines impact election integrity?

19.354 - 21.617 Royce White

Bottom line, I don't care about the sob story.

0

Chapter 4: What is the significance of the conspiracy theorist label?

30.49 - 32.813 Sean Kelly

All right, guys, we got Royce White here today.

0

Chapter 5: What insights does Royce White share about working with Steve Bannon?

32.873 - 41.142 Sean Kelly

We got a virtual episode. I thought it was an important one. You guys know I don't do virtual too often, but honored to have you, man. Thanks for joining the show. Thanks for having me, man.

0

41.182 - 41.863 Royce White

I appreciate it.

0

41.983 - 44.125 Sean Kelly

Yeah, I know you're busy right now. You got a big campaign, right?

0

45.006 - 67.456 Royce White

I mean, yeah, it's an undertaking, no doubt. All of the grassroots people are the people who come from outside the machine that want to challenge these deeply entrenched incumbents like an Amy Klobuchar or Tina Smith. She's not going to run for reelection for her seat. But still, it's the Democrat seat. And it's an uphill battle. Obviously, they got more money than Midas.

0

67.636 - 75.39 Royce White

All of the mainstream media is pretty much still in lockstep, although that's starting to change via podcast and alternative media. But it's still a heavy, heavy lift.

75.65 - 80.639 Sean Kelly

Yeah, you got the money against you. You got all their connections against you, right? Yeah. Yeah, for sure.

80.659 - 98.618 Royce White

You got infrastructure, too. I mean, the biggest thing that I've learned so far is one, a lot of candidates will run a race and then they'll lose on the first go around just because of name recognition. Everybody, you know, you may think you're popular. Let's even say you were an ex-athlete or you were a high powered attorney or whatever, wherever you came from.

Chapter 6: What are Royce White's views on mental health in sports?

98.598 - 103.545 Royce White

People may know you, but do people know you across an entire state of four million voters?

0

Chapter 7: How does Royce White connect mental health to his political journey?

103.565 - 116.843 Royce White

I mean, that's a big difference. And there's a lot of people who aren't as tuned in to the, you know, to the wavelength and mainstream media as we would even think. And so, you know, people will run, they'll lose and then they'll quit. They'll be like, oh, I'm done.

0

117.312 - 134.844 Royce White

Anybody who thinks that we can take one shot at these incumbents, especially in these deep blue states like Minnesota, California, New York, or what have you, is mistaken. Or they're in it just for the money, which is another issue. Which is a lot of people, right? Exactly.

0

135.164 - 139.472 Sean Kelly

What are the most pressing issues in Minnesota you're most passionate about that you want to fix right now?

0

140.279 - 165.763 Royce White

Well, I think people have to view United States Senate races as national races, every single one, because 100 U.S. senators decide the legislation and laws in this country. So I don't really talk about Minnesota issues. I think global issues affect the local and vice versa. Minnesota, no different. Minnesota is unique in that we have a very concentrated per capita Fortune 500 population.

0

166.03 - 174.607 Royce White

business community, right? You got Cargill and General Mills and Medtronic and 3M and, you know, Ecolab and all these, you know, global companies.

Chapter 8: What are the implications of the Patriot Act according to Royce White?

175.509 - 191.115 Royce White

And then you have a very significant agriculture, you know, business as well. You know, Minnesota is one of the biggest ag producers in the country. And because of that, you know, It doesn't get more uniparty than Minnesota, right?

0

191.836 - 208.957 Royce White

If it's not the corporate world, then it's big ag and the farm bills and the subsidies and how big corporations, for lack of a better term, are squeezing out the farmers in rural America the same way they are uh, putting, you know, black people on the payroll, the welfare state down in the inner cities.

0

209.097 - 223.223 Royce White

I mean, it's kind of the same, the same problem, except for they're actually slaving the farmers out for their deal. And in the inner cities, they're just putting black people on the payroll, uh, For no for no work. So Minnesota is unique.

0

223.263 - 242.195 Royce White

And the reason I say Minnesota is unique is because we have one metropolitan area, the Twin Cities, and everything else is either lake country and cabins or or agriculture and farming. So you got that contrast. And because of the contrast, you would think, well, hey, when you go to outstate Minnesota, you got to be heavy Republican. You've got to be heavy MAGA.

0

242.215 - 265.107 Royce White

You've got to be heavy America first. But that's not the case. I flipped 29 counties in 2024, which was a big deal. I mean, 29 counties is an incredible feat, especially having the entire establishment against you on both sides of the aisle, not having a lot of money and having all of the hit pieces against you that say you're a conspiracy theorist. Hopefully we'll talk about that.

265.087 - 282.59 Royce White

some of those here. But we flipped 29 counties, yet still in outstate Minnesota, it was 65-35, which means there were still people in outstate Minnesota that voted for Amy Klobuchar, even though they were Republican counties. So we got our work cut out for us, let's say that.

282.61 - 285.794 Sean Kelly

Yeah. What was the fundraising difference in that battle with her?

286.395 - 308.46 Royce White

Oh, I mean, there was no... I mean, we raised like $1.5 million. I think she had $16 million on hand, if I'm not mistaken. Or maybe she had $10 million on hand. She has raised over $16 million. But I think, if I'm not mistaken, Amy Klobuchar came into the U.S. Senate and her net worth was a couple hundred thousand or something along those lines.
