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.

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.
