The Rice Report

Something bigger than you think is happening in the Middle East… and most people have no idea how serious it could get. In this episode of The Rice Report, Eric Rice sits down with former CIA analyst Larry Johnson to break down what’s really happening in the escalating conflict involving Iran—and why the global consequences could be far bigger than anyone is admitting. If the Strait of Hormuz shutdown continues, it could trigger a chain reaction across the global economy… affecting oil, fertilizer, food supply, and inflation worldwide. This conversation dives deep into the geopolitical realities behind the headlines and why the next few weeks could reshape global markets and U.S. foreign policy. In This Episode We Discuss: • Why the Strait of Hormuz disruption could trigger a global recession • The hidden economic impact of oil, LNG, and fertilizer supply shocks • What the mainstream media may be missing about the Iran conflict • Why the U.S. military strategy is raising serious questions • How rising oil prices could hit American families and businesses • The geopolitical consequences for China, Russia, and global markets This isn’t about politics—it’s about understanding the real-world risks of global conflict and how they could impact everyday people. If you want deeper conversations about geopolitics, economics, and the stories behind the headlines, you’re in the right place. 👇 Comment below: What’s the biggest risk you see if this conflict continues? 🔔 Subscribe to The Rice Report for more conversations that challenge the mainstream narrative and explore what’s really happening in the world.

Something big just happened… and almost nobody’s talking about it. After trillions spent on climate initiatives, fossil fuels still power about 80% of the world — the same as decades ago . Meanwhile, at Davos, the tone has shifted. Climate urgency is fading. AI and centralized control are taking center stage. In this conversation with Marc Morano, we break down: Why the global climate agenda may be losing momentum What really happened at the World Economic Forum in Davos How “emergency powers” reshaped democracy during COVID Why AI infrastructure is replacing climate as the next power grab The connection between global elites, energy policy, and control If you’re an investor, entrepreneur, or just someone trying to understand where the world is headed… this matters. Because when narratives shift at the top, money and power move with them. Marc explains how political leaders, international institutions, and corporate interests are repositioning — and what that could mean for energy markets, AI development, and personal freedom. The question isn’t left vs. right. It’s who benefits — and who pays the price. 👇 Comment below: Do you think the climate movement is collapsing… or just evolving into something bigger? 🔔 Subscribe for more deep dives into money, power, and global strategy.

Hrvoje Moric joins the Rice Report for a sobering conversation about the global technocratic takeover unfolding in real time. We’ve been ringing the hell on this for some time. Lets explore… From biometric surveillance to AI governance, digital IDs to algorithm ghettos - the 1940s Technocrat maps are being implemented worldwide. Hrvoje shares firsthand experience from Mexico, where facial recognition, fingerprint scanners, and digital permission systems are being rolled out in gated communities, only to have all data hacked within weeks. This isn’t theory - it’s happening now. The EU serves as the blueprint being replicated globally through the African Union, ASEAN, Mercosur, and the forming North American Union. Society is being controlled through comfort (apps, cashless payments, Uber Eats) rather than fear. The Epstein files serve as demoralization, preparing acceptance of AI governance. Christian nationalism is being weaponized as controlled opposition with zero preaching of repentance. From the Vatican’s AI morality boards to alien disclosure agendas, from Gnostic infiltration of alt media to the coming one world religion - this conversation examines global technocracy through a biblical lens. ”My white pill is Jesus” - because earthly systems offer no hope, only the assurance of eternity provides peace in the algorithm ghetto being constructed around us. Lets go! We are covering: - Technocrat movement (1930s-1940s) maps now being implemented - Mexico: Biometric entry systems hacked immediately after rollout - 15-minute cities = Resilient cities = Smart cities (Rockefeller funded) - Epstein files as demoralization campaign, not justice - Vatican meeting with AI developers to create ”moral authority” - Christian nationalism psyop: Entertainment Christianity with no repentance - Gnosticism/New Age infiltrating alt media (”Old Testament God is Satan”) - Alien disclosure agenda to justify world government - Comfort-based control: Apps, cashless society, digital convenience = slavery - Biblical prophecy: 10 kingdoms, Laodicean church, great delusion 0:00 – Welcome to The Rice Report 2:15 – Are We Heading Toward a Global Technocracy? 5:40 – The EU as the Blueprint for World Government 9:30 – Biblical Prophecy & Modern Global Politics 13:45 – What Is a “Technate”?

The 2026 Epstein file dump reveals 3.5M pages of evidence, but the most powerful names remain hidden. Nick Bryant exposes why the system is still protecting them. In this exclusive deep dive, investigative journalist Nick Bryant joins me to dismantle the ”Epstein Dark” reality—a systemic protection racket reaching the top of global politics and intelligence. Despite the massive document release, we ask the hard question: Why are the associates and co-conspirators still walking free? The lack of accountability is not an accident; it is the result of decades of systemic design: The 2008 Secret Plea Deal: A non-prosecution agreement (NPA) that granted Epstein a lenient sentence while effectively shielding his co-conspirators from federal prosecution for nearly twenty years. Fragmented Investigation ”Silos”: Critical evidence was historically blocked between local police, the FBI, and federal prosecutors, creating gaps that allowed high-level perpetrators to slip through the cracks. Risk-Averse Prosecutions: Former federal officials confirm that agencies often hesitate to target defendants with unlimited resources and political ties unless forced by extreme public outcry. We analyze why ”transparency” in 2026 feels like a controlled narrative: Selective Disclosure: While 3.5M pages are public, evidence suggests the DOJ is still withholding nearly 3 million additional pages of investigative records. ”Protective” Redactions: Survivors have slammed the DOJ for ”ham-fisted” editing—accidentally exposing victim names while meticulously blacking out the names of elite men in politics and finance. Nick Bryant argues that the current system is too compromised to investigate itself. Because the network reportedly reached the ”top of the food chain” in global intelligence, only an Independent Congressional Commission can provide the transparency required for true justice. Nick Bryant is an acclaimed American investigative journalist and author who has spent over 14 years dedicated to exposing the co-conspirators in Jeffrey Epstein’s international sex-trafficking operation. He became a pivotal figure in the case in 2015 when he obtained and shared Epstein’s notorious ”Little Black Book” and flight logs—four years before Epstein’s death in federal custody. Bryant is the author of The Franklin Scandal, a definitive account of a high-level child-trafficking ring in Omaha, Nebraska, that reached the upper echelons of Washington, D.C.. He is the founder of the nonprofit Epstein Justice, an organization dedicated to protecting children from exploitation and advocating for the full, unredacted release of all government evidence related to the Epstein network.

The U.S. talks about “liberating” Iran — but who actually benefits? In this episode of The Rice Report, we sit down with Zahra Amanpour, an Iranian-American activist and daughter of the resistance, for a brutally honest look at what’s really happening inside Iran... and how global powers are manipulating the narrative. You’ll hear how Iran’s theocratic regime has suppressed its people for decades — especially women — and why over 50,000 Iranians have been imprisoned just for protesting. But Zahra also warns: foreign military intervention isn’t the answer. The Iranian people want democracy — but on their own terms. Let’s go - we are getting into: - How the regime uses religion to control every aspect of daily life - Why women are leading the charge for freedom — and facing brutal consequences - The REAL role of Israel, the U.S., and intelligence agencies in shaping Iran’s future - Why propping up the Shah’s son as a “savior” is a dangerous play - How regime change MUST come from within — not from bombs, boots, or foreign banks If you’re tired of black-and-white narratives about good guys vs. bad guys... if you want to understand how power really works on the global stage... and if you believe freedom should be earned, not installed — this episode is for you. 00:00 – Why Iran isn’t just “another country in the Middle East” 01:45 – The 1979 revolution: Shah, theocracy, and the real power vacuum 04:10 – Zahra’s personal story: Raised in resistance, father killed by the regime 07:30 – Do Iranians actually want U.S. intervention? 10:15 – How protests are evolving — and what the media won’t show 12:40 – Public executions, political prisoners & the price of dissent 18:00 – How the regime oppresses women under Sharia law 22:30 – Iran’s geopolitical power and the illusion of “help” from the West 27:00 – Israel’s hidden hand in regime change strategy 34:20 – Can the Iranian people do this alone?

War correspondent Michael Yan just dropped something you need to hear about what’s actually happening with Greenland, Denmark, and why nobody’s telling you the full story. No recycled perspectives from someone who’s never been there. Yan spent decades in war zones, trained with Special Forces, and predicted major geopolitical events before they hit the news cycle. He called Nord Stream. He called the groaning gas field shutdown. Now he’s warning about Denmark and what’s coming for Europe. With this episode of the Rice Report, here is what you’re getting: - The real strategic value of Denmark (hint: it’s not just about Greenland) - Why the Danish Straits matter more than you think for global trade - What’s actually happening in Panama and who controls the critical infrastructure - - The connection between Venezuela, Iran, and the bigger chess game being played - How psychological warfare works on populations through music, food systems, and information - Why fasting and long walks might be your best defense against manipulation - Yan doesn’t sugarcoat it. He’s watching the same playbook get run in Ireland, Canada, Netherlands, and across Europe. The depopulation strategies. The replacement migrations. The infrastructure seizures. - Whether you agree with everything or not, this conversation will make you think differently about what’s unfolding globally. No BS. No propaganda talking points. Just pattern recognition from someone who’s been on the ground.
