Dudes Talking Freedom Podcast

The Dudes host Eric Rice, from the Telegram Channel - Critical RICE Theory, in one of the most fascinating conversations we've had. We discuss everything from our current book review of Hope of the Wicked to the process of awakening. Everyone awakens on their own timeline. Sadly, some may never wake up. The book is a great way to gain an understanding of the way our world is structured. How did we get here? Were are we headed? Only God knows. Are we seeing the largest revival in the history of mankind? Getting in touch with your awakening self is critical in today's day and age. If you're dealing with feelings of isolation, you're not alone. There are so many people out there waking up and learning about the twisted reality we live in. You have to get back out there into your community. Chat with your friends and enjoy your life. Inject levity into the situation. Might as well have some fun with this program and help others unplug from the Matrix while we're still here! Follow us on Social Media!

The Dudes meet with Stephanie Elad, a Corporate HR professional from California who moved to Texas a decade ago. Her family chose Frisco as their home and after a few years in the Frisco Independent School District, Stephanie began to notice looser standards in the schools. After attending a school board meeting and feeling frustrated with the School Board President's disrespectful behavior towards the parents, Stephanie opted to use her speaking time to call him out. Her polite rant went viral and it ultimately led to her running for and winning a spot as School Board Trustee during the 2022 municipal election. Stephanie brings a diverse perspective to Frisco ISD and has unfortunately dealt with several personal attacks and attempts at canceling her voice since she's been a Trustee. Her story is one everyone should hear as we all seek to be more understanding of one another in search of what's best for our kids and schools. Follow us on Social Media!

The Dudes meet with Marvin Lowe from the Frisco, TX Independent School District Board of Trustees to discuss everything from his views on the real estate market and to his position as a Trustee on the Frisco, TX School Board. Marvin is a real estate broker with 4 children who had never voted in a municipal election prior to a few years ago. His exploration into Critical Race Theory in Frisco public schools led to him running for a Board seat in 2022. There are many parallels between Frisco and Prosper ISDs and more parents are waking up and learning more about how schools and the education system in America operates. Frisco has lost between 1400-1500 teachers in the last couple of years, a concerning statistic for a property rich city with 225,000 residents and 65,000+ students. Marvin shares some of his ideas of what's needed to course correct, as well as addresses the recent Dallas Morning News hit piece written about him after his discussion with a young transgender student's mother at a recent Texas Association of School Boards Conference.

The Dudes catch up on spring break stories from last week. Jeremy's detox protocol is a doozy, but you should still consider looking into doing one yourself. SVB has set the world financial markets ablaze, but what does it all mean for the future of money and global finance? Will there be more failures? How many people are truly familiar with the history of world banking or how the system actually works? Biden still hasn't signed the bill to release the origins of the "software upgrade," even though it was passed in a non-partisan unanimous 419-0 vote. Why is that? He'll sign an executive order to try and push universal background check through on his ongoing gun control hard-on, though! He'll also OK drilling in Alaska in typical flip-flop fashion. Tucker Carlson's interview on Full Send was pretty eye opening, particularly what he said about UFO's and the military families who have lost loved ones due to close contact with them. Definitely worth a listen. What's the real history of some of the world's old structures and buildings. How long have we REALLY had electricity? Follow us on Social Media!
