      • The Government's Too Big to Fail—And That’s the Real Crisis | Thomas Del Beccaro on The Rice Report

        America's real power struggle isn’t left vs. right—it’s YOU vs. BIG GOVERNMENT.

      • Inside Operation Able Danger: The Mission That D.C. Tried to Erase with Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer

        Have you ever wondered if there's more to the 9/11 story than we’ve been told?

         

        In this thoughtful and revealing conversation, Eric Rice sits down with Lieutenant Colonel Tony Schaefer, a decorated intelligence officer and author of Operation Dark Heart. Schaefer was part of a covert operation—Able Danger—that allegedly identified key terror threats before September 11, 2001... and was shut down just months before the attacks.

         

        This is not a conspiracy rant. It’s a calm, intelligent discussion from someone who was there, in the room, holding the data—before the headlines ever broke.

         

        In This Interview You’ll Discover: 

        ✅ What “Able Danger” was—and how it could’ve changed history

        ✅ How early warnings about terrorist networks were handled internally

        ✅ Why Schaefer lost his security clearance after trying to tell the truth

        ✅ What the 9/11 Commission didn’t include—and why that matters

        ✅ How military intelligence works behind the scenes in times of crisis

        ✅ Why it's more important than ever to ask questions and stay informed

         

        🎙️ If you’ve never heard this side of the 9/11 story, this is your invitation to listen with an open mind. No shouting, no finger-pointing—just facts, experience, and questions that deserve answers.

         

        00:00 – Introduction and Context

        Opening the show, setting up the topic, and discussing Tucker Carlson's 9/11 comments. Introduction of Lt. Col. Tony Schaefer and his role as the original 9/11 whistleblower.

         

        10:00 – Able Danger and the Early Warnings

        Tony details the origins of the Able Danger program, pre-9/11 intelligence gathering, and his meeting with Philip Zelikow of the 9/11 Commission in 2003.

         

        20:00 – Pentagon Pushback and Retaliation

        Tony describes the government's retaliation, including the suspension of his security clearance and petty accusations involving minor expenses.

         

        30:00 – Meetings with Congress and the Cover-up Deepens

        Colonel Schaefer meets with Congressman Kurt Weldon, shares critical intel, and learns that the 9/11 Commission deliberately ignored or buried his disclosures.

         

        40:00 – Institutional Resistance and Final Thoughts

        Exploring how various military and intelligence agencies clashed over Able Danger. Tony reflects on the need for a new investigation, accountability, and his hopes for future transparency.

      • What I Saw in Congress Will Blow Your Mind | Deep State Unmasked: Louie Gohmert

        Former U.S. Congressman Louie Gohmert saw quite a bit during his time as Texas Congressman (2005-2023).  Today, he pulls back the curtain on the swamp—and what he reveals will shake you. From deep state deception to media manipulation and constitutional betrayal, this isn’t just politics—it’s a war for America’s soul. He’s not reflecting on what was, he’s warning about what is.

         

        Louis shares:

        ✅ Why he believes the DOJ, FBI & media are being weaponized against the people 

        ✅ The truth behind political prosecutions & why real criminals walk free 

        ✅ How deep state players are rewriting the Constitution in plain sight 

        ✅ The censorship machine: Why telling the truth is now a threat to power ✅ What YOU can do to fight back & protect your rights
