Join us to discover the glory of Moscow’s past, present and future.

CrossTalking with Joshua Landis, Ashish Prashar, and Mohammad Khatibi.

On the latest episode of ‘Sanchez Effect’, Sharmine Narwani explains how Iran’s massive geographic advantages, from the Strait of Hormuz to its mountain terrain, make it untouchable. She says Bibi needs the war to politically survive, but Trump will lose if the conflict continues. Narwani details the inevitable collision between the two leaders.

She is confident that alternative networks and organic social media have destroyed the old propaganda machine. You will see why the ‘antisemite’ card no longer stymies debate and why the elites cannot buy back public trust.

She says that, by turning itself into a global pariah, Israel has compromised the safety of Jewish people around the world. Narwani confronts the hard truth about Lebanon and Gaza, while revealing why no amount of US backing can fix Israel’s broken military reality. Watch the raw geopolitical truth, only on RT.

Is Larry the Cat the only permanent fixture left in Downing Street? We dismantle Keir Starmer’s sudden resignation and the domestic crises pushing the UK to the brink.

Is the “Zelensky Curse” a proven pattern for Western leaders who prioritize foreign warmongering over their own citizens? How long can European establishments blame their economic and migration failures on a manufactured external threat?

What is driving the growing rift between Ukraine and some of its strongest supporters, including Poland? Has Zelensky become a political liability for leaders who once stood firmly behind him? And are we witnessing the beginning of a broader realignment inside Europe — and the world?

In this episode of RT’s Sanchez Effect, Rick looks at how Vladimir Zelensky keeps burning down Ukraine’s relations with its neighbors. That’s as Kiev has recently been provoking Belarus. On top of that, Zelensky was stripped of a prestigious state award by Poland after renaming an elite Ukrainian unit after an infamous pro-Nazi brigade from World War Two. Rick also got to discuss the Iran war and US internal affairs with Robert Barnes, a former lawyer for Donald Trump. The legal expert said the American president has strayed from his battle against the deep state, but there is hope. According to Barnes, J.D. Vance is still fighting to undermine hawkish policies, with the current talks being an indication that the pro-peace Vance has won at least a temporary victory over figures such as pro-war Secretary of State Marco Rubio.

CrossTalking with Sarah Leah Whitson, Mohamed Elmenshawy, and Hicham Safieddine.

On the latest episode of ‘Sanchez Effect’, former UK MP George Galloway accuses the current British government of slipping into an ‘authoritarian hellhole’ under Keir Starmer. He is convinced that, with such low ratings, Starmer couldn’t have survived – “The writing was on the wall for him.”

He also lambastes the country’s declining democratic standards, claiming media freedom has been eroded and that the regime will jail anyone who voices a truth they don’t like. He insists that politicians are drafted from a vault rather than elected by the electorate and lists a relentless series of unsatisfactory leaders – Bojo, Truss, Sunak – labeling each a failure in Britain’s dizzying leadership carousel. He warns that the system will collapse unless genuine elections are restored.

We dissect what another kicked out PM means for the UK’s political future. And what’s new in the Iran-Israel-US saga on the latest episode only on RT. 

CrossTalking with George Szamuely and Tarik Cyril Amar.

Finally, New Order’s Zarah Khan asks questions which you the viewers have for Afshin Rattansi. You can send in your questions to be answered to @AfshinRattansi on X to be answered on next week’s episode!

And lastly, a question for you, the viewers: India chairs BRICS and was just at the G7. Do you think India can keep balancing both worlds or will it be forced to pick a side by 2030?

CrossTalking with Mohammad Marandi, Ali H. Mourad, and Zaid Belbagi.

Together they explore how Iran has stepped up as a regional superpower, balancing military strength with moral leverage – particularly in its support for Lebanon and its strategy to keep the situation in the Middle East manageable.

Both Rick and his guest are disappointed to see a world where reproach is voiced only when some are harmed, while other nations’ suffering lingers in muted silence.

Perhaps recognizing these moral double standards could bring about the next great pivot in history – the ultimate breakdown of Western hegemony. Learn more in the latest episode, only on RT

Is the new Iran peace deal a masterclass in diplomacy, or is it just performative politics designed to distract the public from institutional corruption?

Why is the Department of Energy quietly handing over weapons-grade plutonium to private tech companies, and what does this mean for global nuclear non-proliferation?

Furthermore, how are quiet legislative maneuvers effectively merging US and Israeli military intelligence networks beyond the control of the president?

Finally, is Trump genuinely shifting strategies, or is the administration acting under the weight of deep blackmail? We follow the money past the public assassinations, corporate shell games, and hidden elite dynamics to expose what the mainstream narrative is desperate to bury.

CrossTalking with Muhannad Ayyash, Helena Cobban, and Foad Izadi.

Sanchez Effect also covers the UK plan to ban social media for all children under the age of 16 – or as Rick describes it – ‘UK becomes USSR’. Whether you’re enjoying unrestricted internet, or scaling this new ‘Iron Curtain’ – watch the whole episode here, on RT.com or on BitChute ‘ricksancheztv’.

On the global economic order, he says the West’s weaponization of trade and energy proves exactly why the world needs non-Western blocs like BRICS. And on India-Russia ties, he believes the relationship needs to go well beyond defense and oil – into new products and deeper people-to-people connections.

We have been repeatedly told there is a deal to be had ending the unprovoked war on Iran. A deal means there is rough consensus. Given the parties involved that consensus seems a near impossibility. Also, are Kaja Kallas’s days numbered as the EU top diplomat? We can only hope. 

CrossTalking with George Szamuely and Mark Sleboda.

CrossTalking with Jenin Younes, Ali Mamouri and Daoud Kuttab.

Watch now to hear Marandi’s unapologetic critique of Western media, and why Iran’s resilience could shift the global balance – only on RT.

CrossTalking with Larry Johnson, Jason Zaharis, and Esteban Carrillo Lopez.

Drawing on his recent travels across Donbass and Iran, Chris shares firsthand observations from the ground – breaking down and challenging the rigid, institutionalized narratives that have come to shape Western foreign policy.

We discuss the St. Petersburg Economic Forum, ongoing US-Russia contacts, and the war in Ukraine. Why do Western media report only some civilian casualties and not others?

We also talk about tensions between Israel and Iran, Trump’s role in global diplomacy, the legacy of Manifest Destiny in American foreign policy, and Europe’s military buildup.

Finally, we cover Cuba’s resilience under sanctions – and the emergence of a more multipolar world.

On the latest episode of Sanchez Effect, Rick sits down with a man who needs no introduction. Andrew Tate doesn’t hold back on Russia’s surging clout, especially in its powerful partnership with China, and he’s convinced the post-WWII order is about as secure as a paper cup in a hurricane.

And the cherry on top: despite the Western media’s negative portrayal of Moscow, Andrew says it “has it all” – beauty, cleanliness, food – you name it.

He argues that the media’s portrayal of men as emasculated is a deliberate strategy to prevent revolutions, while warning that insecure masculinity fuels consumption, addiction, and the loss of traditional values.

Without filter, he says the ‘Epstein class’ tunes the algorithms that shape our reality, feeding us curated lies.

And a question for you the viewers: Are secondary sanctions turning middle powers into frontline actors in great power rivalry?

On the sidelines of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum, Rick Sanchez catches up with Robert Agee, the president of the American Chamber of Commerce in Russia. So the topic of this episode is no surprise: Trade between Russia and America, and its perspectives. Agee reveals to Rick that the official US delegation to the forum headed by Rodney Cook was confirmed at the highest level in the White House. Sanchez says this is significant as no US president of late would do such a thing, and it could be a sign of warming relations between the two countries. Agee also thinks it is not clever to isolate Russia during the crisis in the Middle East, noting that the prices of minerals and fertilizers have skyrocketed. Watch it here on RT.com or on BitChute: ‘ricksancheztv’.

Here is the gist: Putin revealed how BRICS is outpacing the G7, and insisted that Russia’s future prosperity must not be eclipsed by war. Turning to the Ukraine gambit – Putin refused Zelensky’s ‘let’s chat’ overture, stressing that a personal audience would serve no purpose beyond formality. In his words, the meeting would be “just for the sake of meeting.” He reiterated Russia’s commitment to long term partnerships, celebrating new economic ties while calling for “equitable relations” that challenge Western unilateralism.

The conversation swings to a second marvel – a personalized cancer vaccine that zeroes in on a patient’s own mutated tumor proteins. Thanks to its AI-driven design, Skvortsova explains that the vaccine can be customized in a fraction of the time it would take a human based trial, a leap that could shorten the road to its efficiency.

Join Rick and Veronika for a glimpse of how Russia is turning cancer from an inevitable fate into a manageable condition. Watch the latest episode, only on RT.

CrossTalking with Dan Kovalik, Michael Maloof, and Ryan Milton.

Rick’s firsthand war zone perspective meets Candace’s relentless challenge to the status quo. She shares her amazement at Russia’s beauty. As well as her frustration with the Cold War hangover: people are taught that Russians are a “no no” and a no go. And her frustration with western media in general – they are uninterested in the truth; they act like “an old dog that can’t learn new tricks.”

Rick asks Candace if given her relentless desire for truth and outstanding morality, she’d run for president – her answer is a resounding: ‘NO’. Candace is confident she’d be a dictator. Wanna know why? Tune in to RT to find out.

CrossTalking with Raed Jarrar, Elijah J. Magnier, and Hamidreza Gholamzadeh.

Marwa shares her firsthand account of surviving the strikes, including the destruction of her own home in south Lebanon. Why is the West turning a blind eye to the displacement of over 1.5 million Lebanese citizens?

We also break down a thousand-page US defense bill aiming to legally merge the American military with the IDF – forcing Western taxpayers to fund high-tech warfare overseas while domestic infrastructure crumbles.

Finally, we expose the dangerous parallel of Western tech being deployed in drone strikes on the Zaporozhye nuclear power plant. Is Kiev using the threat of a nuclear catastrophe to blackmail European leaders?

The professor calls US actions a new form of colonialism, insisting that the only benefit of the blockade is profit for billionaires, describing imperialism as a ‘beast’ that exists solely to extract money at the expense of Cuban children. Shaw has travelled the country himself and says Cubans almost wish for the bombs to drop already – it can’t be worse than what they are experiencing now.

Watch the full conversation for a candid look at the looming threat of invasion, the role wealthy lobbyists play, and how US politics are shaping Cuba’s future – only on RT.

In this episode of RT’s ‘Sanchez Effect’, Rick brings on former US marine and Gulf war veteran Kenneth O’Keefe to discuss the latest developments in the Middle East crisis and the optics of the American military there. O’Keefe is now in Tehran, where he strikes out at Washington with a single question: ‘What would you do if Iran bombed a school in America?’ He and Rick agree that the entire war is illegal and in no way serves American interests – especially considering that the whole thing has been entirely orchestrated by Israel. They note that anti-US sentiment in Iran makes sense after the number of war crimes committed against the nation. O’Keefe also mocks the possibility of a ground invasion of Iran. He says that Iranians would probably be saving American marines from starvation in the country’s impassable mountain range. Watch the whole episode on RT International or on BitChute ‘ricksancheztv’.

Here’s the kicker: Fernand was the first to get the boot from the Brussels establishment for simply saying that dialogue with Moscow is the only way forward – and now the EU is looking for a good candidate to speak with Russia. Curious situation? Catch the full conversation on RT and BitChute.

In addition, we unpack how the US is attempting to apply the ‘Venezuela Model’ to Cuba in a renewed regime change effort. This episode also examines Tulsi Gabbard’s resignation, internal divisions within the Trump camp, and growing debates in Washington over Iran, intelligence policy, and America’s role in future conflicts.

CrossTalking with George Szamuely and Mark Sleboda.

Also we apologize to Greta Thunberg. Kind of.

On the latest episode of ‘Sanchez Effect’ legendary political figure George Galloway issues a chilling warning about escalating Middle East tensions, predicting an immediate global economic depression if Iran is driven to shut down critical maritime trade routes. Forget 10 dollars a gallon – that would mean NO oil, no fertilizers, and the collapse of economic activity across the world.

The former lawmaker pulls no punches when it comes to UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer, mocking the hypocrisy of buying back-door Russian oil through India at triple the price while slashing domestic pensions to fund foreign conflicts. Drawing on his 50-year career, Galloway contrasts today’s corrupt, ‘Epstein-class’ politicians with giants of the past. He praises Russia’s societal resurgence under Vladimir Putin and details how Western sanctions completely backfired on their own populations.

Meanwhile, Rick digs into the US media’s obsession with ‘Russiagate’ as it chooses silence in the face of Israel’s blatant campaign interference against unbought US politicians like Thomas Massie. Hypocrisy at its finest?

As Putin’s milestone trip to Beijing wraps up, this episode of RT’s ‘Sanchez Effect’ puts the summit under a microscope, bringing in the president of Russia’s Asia Pacific research center, Sergey Sanakoev, for some expert insight. Rick was surprised that Russia and China signed over 40 documents during the two-day summit. Sanakoev keeps those surprises coming, telling us that the countries sign the same amount every single year. He also didn’t mince words about Donald Trump’s visit to Beijing a week prior, calling the American delegation shockingly unqualified. Sanakoev says Washington had no leverage to dictate terms to China after failing in Iran.

RT correspondent Donald Courter joins us this episode, with live news and views from the big event in Beijing. Get the full story here, on RT International or on BitChute at ‘ricksancheztv’.

We dive deep into the recent release of UAP files and ask the critical question: why have top scientists connected to alternative energy and anti-gravity research been disappearing since the Roswell crash?

Is the government using a “slow-release” disclosure strategy to prevent mass panic, or is the military-industrial complex protecting the ultimate global asset – reverse-engineered technology?

What happens if the technologies hidden behind these programs could change energy, warfare, and global power forever?

We also look at how modern warfare has shifted away from traditional country-versus-country conflicts into a sophisticated system of psychological operations, media control, and energy dependency designed to maintain the status quo.

CrossTalking with Marwa Osman, Ali Alizadeh, and Haytham Faraj.

Plus, how is Europe reacting to this high-profile meeting? RT correspondent Chay Bowes sheds light on the continent’s desperate attempts to break up Moscow and Beijing, including threats of direct attacks on Russian cities. Want to learn more?
