Congress EXPOSED: Why Waste, Taxes & Inflation Are Worse Than You Think

This is NOT your typical D.C. conversation. In this fire-filled episode of The Rice Report, we sit down with Kent Strang, CEO of Americans for Prosperity, to pull the curtain back on the real reasons Congress refuses to fix waste, fraud, and taxation.

We are not just talking politics. We are calling out the oligarchs, the broken incentives, and the rigged system that keeps YOU paying the price—literally. From the DOGE investigation uncovering billions in fraud, to the truth behind Trump’s tax cuts, and why Congress is allergic to cutting spending, this episode hits hard.

💡 Inside This Must-Watch Interview: ✅ Why Congress will NEVER cut the waste—unless we force them
✅ The truth about Doge & exposing government fraud
✅ How inflation, taxes & foreign aid keep YOU broke
✅ The lie behind "fighting the oligarchy" (hint: both sides play the game)
✅ Why small businesses are being crushed while big corps thrive
✅ What YOU can do to actually fight back

If you're tired of being lied to by politicians, this is your moment. The next 4 years could reshape America—but only if you understand what’s really going on.
