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.”
‘They’ll call you anti-American, throw lob insults for even asking that question’ – Clayton Morris
‘Did Rubio just say the US in Iran wants to go back to where it was?’ – Rick Sanchez In this episode of RT’s ‘Sanchez Effect’ US policies face real heat. Not only from Rick Sanchez but also Clayton Morris, who is the host of ‘Redacted’ on YouTube and a former prominent Fox News anchor. Rick expresses his disappointment in Donald Trump, whose repeated promises of change for the American people have been left by the wayside. But in the end, like Morris says, ‘these are the people that had really put their faith behind an America First policy. But then when you see another Middle East war, billions of dollars being sent to Israel, gas prices skyrocketing, inflation numbers going up.’ Both media personalities also shared how they started to question Washington’s pro-war policies. While Clayton and Rick were anchors on Fox News and CNN, both wanted to cover stories on the government’s hawkish rhetoric, but got a hard ‘nope’ as a response.

MELISSA WITTE: I had pretty low expectations of Trump, but one thing I was sure of: He wasn’t going to start any wars. RICK: Oops!
On the latest episode of RT’s Sanchez Effect, we dive into how Trump promised ‘America First’ but ended up delivering the opposite. Rick and ‘Previously Prohibited’ podcast co-host Melissa Witte agree that under Trump, Americans got a glimpse of what could have been – only to have it snatched away. While Trump pledged no new wars, America’s ‘greatest ally’, Israel, had other plans. Melissa believes that the Trump administration’s mindset – shoot first and ask questions later – is a recipe for disaster. This belligerent logic could be used to justify any conflict, and suddenly Washington is looking at a potential war with the entire Muslim world! Let’s not forget another destructive path: Bad journalism. Rick tears into it with new examples – like the Western media spinning tales about Putin’s bunker, and a New York Times journalist urging Tucker Carlson to steer clear of certain questions. Spoiler alert: That’s not something Carlson will be doing. And neither shall we. Tune in to see Rick question more – only on RT.
‘Merz is making policies nobody voted for’ – Sevim Dagdelen, a spokesperson for German opposition party BSW
‘Merz is very far removed from the everyday problems of his people. He has broken all his electoral promises. He is making policies nobody voted for’ – Sevim Dagdelen, a spokesperson for German opposition party BSW. Is Germany’s Chancellor Merz living in a parallel universe? Former long-time MP Sevim Dagdelen says it seems so. On the latest episode of RT’s ‘Sanchez Effect’, Sevim pulls back the curtain on a government that promised fiscal restraint but delivered crippling debt. The people are protesting. Are they being heard? Spoiler: No. Sevim calls out the ‘vassal’ relationship with the US. She asks, how else would you explain buying expensive resources from the US instead of cheap ones from Russia? She also denounces the supposed drama between Trump and Merz as mere pantomine: a vassal cannot truly fall out with his master. As Berlin rings alarm bells about Russia, while preparing what it wants to become: Europe’s most powerful army, some are asking whether Merz, with the potential to lose power, is most threatened by peace itself. Also, Rick breaks down the explosive return of the US war on Iran – mapping out the chaos. Catch the full episode on RT International or BitChute at RICKSANCHEZTV!

‘The US... I just see sort of a slow decline like the Roman Empire, which slowly shrinks away into irrelevancy’ – Kim Iversen
In this episode of RT’s ‘Sanchez Effect’ Rick talks to Kim Iversen, American Youtuber and host of the Kim Iversen Show. They put US domestic policy under a microscope, with Iversen stressing that Democrats and Republicans alike are losing public support with leaders such as Joe Biden and Donald Trump. Iversen explains why, “we’re definitely not in charge of our government” and why Americans feel they do not live in a democracy anymore. It’s the same story in Europe, according to our guest, who says the EU leadership no longer reflects the will of its people. Iversen suggests voters want peace and stability, but, as the saying goes, in the US it doesn’t matter who you vote for, you get John McCain in the end.

‘I think that Trump does not have many cards in his hands’ – Pakistani national security specialist and prominent journalist
‘I think that Donald Trump does not have many cards in his hands.’ – Pakistani national security specialist and prominent journalist. In this episode of RT’s ‘Sanchez Effect’, Rick focuses on the US-Iran negotiation process mediated by Pakistan. And a perfect guest to talk about it is Pakistani journalist Nasim Zehra, a national security specialist. Zehra says that despite the feeling of having reached a stalemate, negotiations are ongoing, with Tehran and Washington exchanging messages. Rick says there’s a sense that Iran is apprehensive about the talks and conflict and the Pakistani journalist agrees. She adds the US hasn’t managed to defeat a country that’s been under sanctions and constant bombing for years, and this conflict is becoming more costly for Washington as it upsets allies, which Trump recognizes. Zehra advises the US president to rethink his cooperation with what she described as the Middle East’s destabilizing power – Israel. She says it’s the only country that disobeys international law to the discontent of a growing number of states. Watch the full episode on RT International or on BitChute ‘ricksancheztv’.
