The gold market is going through MASSIVE changes, and no one’s talking about it! Tariffs, central banks hoarding gold, and major moves by JP Morgan, Goldman Sachs & HSBC—what does it all mean? In this hard-hitting episode of The Rice Report, Eric Rice sits down with gold expert Dana Samuelson to break down.
💡 What You’ll Learn in This Video:
✅ Why millions of ounces of gold are leaving Europe & heading to the U.S.
✅ The TRUTH about Trump’s tariffs & how they could push gold prices even higher
✅ How big banks manipulate the gold & silver market (and how YOU can protect yourself)
✅ Why silver could DOUBLE in price—faster than anyone expects
✅ The shocking connection between gold, Bitcoin, and the next financial shift
✅ What’s really in Fort Knox? Does the U.S. still have its gold reserves?
Dana Samuelson has flawlessly overseen transactions approaching $2 billion. For nearly a decade he was a personal protege of James U. Blanchard III, one of the true giants of the industry and the individual most responsible for re-legalizing the private ownership of gold in the U.S.
For twelve years Dana served on the Board of Directors of the Professional Numismatists Guild.
As PNG President in 2016, Dana conceived of and helped to establish the industry anti-counterfeiting task force, which today works with the Secret Service and Homeland Security to interdict and seize counterfeit coins and bars coming to the country from Asia.
In 2020, Dana worked with the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) in their quest to end the allegedly fraudulent business practices of a precious metals seller to elderly IRA investors. The CFTC closed the business and seized their assets. The case is pending in court.
American Gold Exchange is a leading national mail order precious metals and vintage US gold coin company operating out of Austin, TX with an A+ Better Business Bureau rating and almost perfect Trust Pilot customer reviews (not an easy feat).
🚨 The system is changing FAST—are you prepared for what’s coming?

LA is in free fall. Crime is skyrocketing, and the people in charge don’t want you to know the truth. Former 𝗟𝗔 𝗖𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝘆 𝗦𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗳𝗳 𝗔𝗹𝗲𝘅 𝗩𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗻𝘂𝗲𝘃𝗮 joins us to honestly EXPOSE the shocking corruption, failed policies, and who’s REALLY to blame for turning the city into a 𝗹𝗮𝘄𝗹𝗲𝘀𝘀 𝘄𝗮𝘀𝘁𝗲𝗹𝗮𝗻𝗱. Sherriff Alex Villanueva was elected as the 33rd Sheriff of Los Angeles County, becoming the first person in over 100 years to unseat an incumbent sheriff. During Villanueva’s tenure, the department came under intense legal scrutiny over its systemic practices. In particular, the department faced what is often referred to as “Patterns and Practices” litigation. This legal action was centered on allegations that the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department had engaged in a longstanding pattern or practice of 𝘂𝗻𝗰𝗼𝗻𝘀𝘁𝗶𝘁𝘂𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗶𝗻𝗴. The litigation raised concerns over excessive use of force, retaliation against whistleblowers, and misconduct within the ranks—including issues linked to deputy gang activities. No evidence was found, and the settlement remained confidential. However, the private legal team proposed 391 items they wanted addressed. What were the 391 items? Just wait until you hear them. 💥 Inside This Must-Watch Interview: ✅ How the California government is destroying law enforcement from the inside ✅ The SECRET settlement handcuffs cops while criminals walk free ✅ Why LA’s police force is collapsing—and what that means for YOU ✅ The dark truth about the defund movement and where all that money went ✅ The plan to take back LA & restore law and order This can happen anywhere - and it is. (I'm looking at you, Portland. 👀) ⚠️ This is the interview the LA media WON’T cover—because it exposes their lies. 💬 Comment below: Do you think LA can be saved, or is it too far gone? Should Sheriff Villanueva run for office again? Like and share this video - especially share. This one has crucial information that every community should be aware of as we vote and think about our law enforcement.
