Sanchez Effect is a journalistic rebellion. RT’s flagship program is led by Rick Sanchez, the Emmy and Peabody Award-winning newsman who’s made a career out of defying the status quo. “When only one side of a story is permitted, that’s when I push harder. If Moscow is deemed off-limits, it’s precisely where I want to be. Because more often than not, truth resides in the places we’re told not to look.”
‘Trump revealed the true nature of the empire and fast-tracked its demise’ – Patrick Henningson, founder of 21st Century Wire
On the latest episode of ‘Sanchez Effect’ – Rick asks the million-dollar question: Is the US truly committed to a new deal with Iran? Patrick Hennignson is far from optimistic. He says the US has a history of failing to honor past agreements, and frequent “policy flips” do little to promote trust. 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
‘Americans and Israelis, by taking over the Middle East, they had an idea they can stop American decline’ – Foad Izadi
In this episode of RT’s Sanchez Effect Rick dives into what we can expect from the looming Iran peace deal with Foad Izadi, University of Tehran Professor. Rick questions if Israel could sabotage the agreement by attacking Beirut – how would Iran reaction? Izadi insists Tehran won’t leave Lebanon behind, because it doesn’t want a repeat of the Gaza genocide. Professor Izadi also also draws attention to Israel’s failing strategy in the region. He says that the infamous ‘Greater Israel’ project includes the territories of many Arab countries, that are now less willing to co-operate with Israel. Rick adds that Trump needs to cut US support for Benjamin Netanyahu before Israel violates Washington’s deal with Tehran. Foad Izadi believes that’s unrealistic as long as ‘Congress is Israeli-occupied territory’. 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’.

‘The Trump regime is telling the world: we are back to 18th-century imperialism’ – Seyed Mohammad Marandi
On the latest episode of Sanchez Effect, Tehran university professor Seyed Mohammad Marandi cuts straight to the heart of what he sees as America’s blind spot on the Iran crisis. He insists that US media is “controlled by oligarchs,” not the people. He also argues that Iran’s moral position gives it a powerful narrative advantage and that the Iranian people feel “on the right side of history,” ready to defend themselves even when the economy is under strain. According to Marandi, Washington’s pressure has failed in the past and will again prove ineffective, especially if the US escalates with further bombings that risk destabilizing the Persian Gulf. Watch now to hear Marandi’s unapologetic critique of Western media, and why Iran’s resilience could shift the global balance – only on RT.
‘This is not America’s war, this is Israel’s war against Iran’ – Kevork Almassian
As we go to air, it looks as though the war on Iran has resumed, and this episode of RT’s Sanchez Effect scours the footage and all the details of this latest round of escalation. And the perfect guest to talk about the entire situation in the region is Kevork Almassian, award-winning journalist and host of the Syriana analysis podcast on YouTube. Mr. Sanchez thinks Donald Trump may abandon Israel in this conflict, with the American president looking to restore his approval numbers before the midterms. But Kevork asks whether Israel has something on Trump to keep him in line. Almassian also underscores the high stakes for the entire West and America’s global system, so they will go all in. Election developments in Yerevan are also in view, as our guest says Armenia will never become part of NATO or the EU, despite huge pressure to make it happen. The award-winning journalist claims that all the West’s actions point to efforts to ignite the Caucasus and create another point of tension on Russia’s border.

“Europe I think is really the hotbed of a lot of the problems we see in the world today, extremely toxic.” – Tristan Tate
Second episode in a row with the famous Tate brothers. This time, entrepreneur and media founder Tristan Tate joins the program. Tristan and Rick agree that the US has started so many unnecessary wars around the world that did nothing positive, as Mr. Tate points out. He says that “any politician who votes to go to war, his son should go along with everyone else.” Tristan also believes that media in the West is nothing but propaganda and does not work to inform people. As he says, “if you live in the West, you’re not allowed to digest any information coming from here.” He also shares more details about the case brought against him and his brother in the West.

EXCLUSIVE: ‘I came to see Russia because global hegemony is collapsing’ – Andrew Tate
EXCLUSIVE: ‘I came to see Russia because global hegemony is collapsing. The US is a dying empire and they all go out with a bang’ – Andrew Tate. 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. Ready to see the truth laid bare? Dive in now.
