What if everything you were "officially" told about January 6th was a lie? (It is.) Our interview today is a reality check. What happened to Trenas Evans could happen to anyone on the "wrong side" of those in power. In this episode The Rice Report, Eric sits down with the founder of Condemned USA, January 6th defendant, and one of the few people willing to publicly blow the whistle on the government's double standard. Trenas was there, inside the Capitol, on January 6th. On the megaphone. Singing the National Anthem while trying to de-escalate the chaos. This interview goes deep into what really happened—behind the barricades, in courtrooms, and in backdoor deals the media won’t report. From exposing how the DOJ redefined "insurrection" to lock people up for misdemeanors, to revealing how the FBI tried to bribe him to spy on other defendants, Trenas gives you the uncensored story no network will touch. You’ll hear how he caught a fugitive the FBI couldn’t find, helped over 600 defendants get legal aid, and why he believes we're entering a “burn the boats” moment in American history. If you care about civil liberties, if you think the government’s power has gone unchecked, or if you just want to hear what really went down from someone who lived it—you do not want to miss this. It's a front row seat to what 𝙧𝙚𝙖𝙡𝙡𝙮 happened. This interview is a cautionary tale for everyone.
