Is the U.S. already fighting World War III—but it's a different type of war? In this episode of The Rice Report, Eric Rice talks with author, researcher, and Activist Post editor Charlie Robinson about fifth-generation warfare: a conflict waged not with tanks and missiles, but with psychology, economics, and technology. Charlie breaks down how fear, comfort, and AI are being weaponized to shape public behavior—and why the distractions dominating headlines (Venezuela, digital currency, promises of a "golden age") may be serving a very different purpose than we're told. In this conversation: → Why comfort has become a tool of mass influence → The case for AI as a "weapon of mass comfort" → How centralized banking could be replaced—but not in the way you'd expect → The intersection of faith, technology, and power in shaping what comes next We're not doing left vs. right here. It's about understanding the game being played, and how we are all pawns.♟️♟️♟️ 🎧 New here? Subscribe for unfiltered conversations on money, power, and the future.

Venezuela, AI, war, and elections...the government and the media are lying to you. Take it from someone who worked on the inside of the world's premier intelligence organization. In another episode of truth, The Rice Report brings back former CIA analyst Larry Johnson to break down the real reasons behind Venezuela’s rising tension, America’s failing war strategies, and why biometric surveillance is being quietly rolled out while nobody's paying attention. Larry is not an armchair pundit. He has real world knowledge. Larry has been on the inside—global counterintelligence, DEA partnerships, and real-world operations in Venezuela. What he reveals in this conversation will make you question everything from the mainstream narratives (which I hope you already question, friends) on Ukraine and Gaza to why AI is being fast-tracked into your wallet… and your skin. 💡 Inside This Episode: - Why the “drug boats” from Venezuela are a flat-out fabrication 🚫 - The real reason we’re eyeing Venezuelan oil (and it’s not democracy) 🛢 - How biometric data is the new gold—and why you’re already being traded - The coming AI surveillance state and what it means for your freedom 🤖 - U.S. military weakness EXPOSED: Why we couldn’t even take Venezuela - The trap of capitalism vs. communism—and who’s really calling the shots - This isn’t left vs. right.

The Epstein case isn’t about one man. It’s about a system built on blackmail, silence, and political power. This is deeper and darker than anyone realizes. In this episode of The Rice Report, Eric Rice sits down with investigative journalist Nick Bryant, author of The Franklin Scandal and head of Epstein Justice, to expose what the government doesn’t want you to know....and that pertains to both sides of the aisle. A bill to release the Epstein files passed Congress unanimously. So why haven’t we seen them yet? Why are “national security concerns” suddenly protecting known child traffickers? 💡 Here’s what you’ll discover in this powerful conversation: - The shocking connection between Epstein and Trump—exposed in leaked emails - How blackmail, not politics, runs D.C. - Why the Franklin Scandal was a carbon copy of the Epstein network - What the media won’t cover—and why - Why Ghislaine Maxwell’s co-conspirators are still walking free - How an independent congressional commission could bring real justice (and how YOU can help) Nick breaks down how a system of compromise, corruption, and cover-ups has been running for decades—using children as currency.

What if the U.S. government shutdown isn’t about politics—but about protecting insurance profits? Today on the Rice Report, Rice we sit down with unpaid lobbyist Desiree Townsend, who’s gone viral for exposing the real reason behind the shutdown—and it’s far deeper than you think. Desiree breaks down how the Affordable Care Act (ACA) set up a middleman system where tax credits go directly to insurance companies—not patients. Doctors are forced to accept insurance only, cash pay patients are blocked, and premiums keep rising without oversight. 📉 Meanwhile: Military families are at risk of losing income Banks are collapsing due to lack of liquidity SNAP benefits are frozen, hurting the most vulnerable $120B+ has been borrowed in emergency liquidity since the shutdown started This shutdown isn’t just a budget issue. It’s a health insurance-driven economic time bomb. We talk about: ✅ How ACA tax credits fund insurance companies, not care ✅ Why premiums keep rising while care gets worse ✅ How the shutdown threatens banks, SNAP, and the military ✅ Why private equity and monopolies are quietly taking over ✅ The hidden cost of centralized power in finance and healthcare 💬 If YOU work in healthcare, banking, or the military—we want to hear from you.

From ceasefires that were never real to Netanyahu’s ICC indictment being ignored, this episode tears the mask off the mainstream narrative.
