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.”
‘It is hard to work in US politics and be free of Zionism’ – Calla Walsh
‘All the US politicians I’d worked for were so progressive on climate and healthcare but support genocide, and looting the resources of the world to profit for themselves. It is hard to work in US politics and be free of Zionism.’ – Calla Walsh. The crises in the Middle East and Ukraine, unrest in Europe and US domestic politics – all these are covered in just one episode of the ‘Sanchez Effect’. RT correspondent Yasin Eken is on the streets of Paris bringing us the opinions of locals. He says they have a single demand: ‘for Emmanuel Macron to step down’. For the rest Rick brings in Calla Walsh, the American political analyst who moved to Beirut in Lebanon to expose Israeli actions there. She says that it does not matter who are you – Democrat or Republican – they maintain the same policy just with different means and that same policy is always on the side of Israel.
‘Bunkers and hiding? Total misinformation. The mainstream media is just desperate to dictate a false narrative.’
On the latest episode of The Sanchez Effect, Faisal Al-Shammeri, columnist at the Arab News and Makkah Newspaper, shatters Western myths about the Saudi leadership. Despite relentless outside attempts to sow division, Al-Shammeri highlights that the Saudi monarchy and MBS remain overwhelmingly popular, especially among the nation’s youth. But this goes way beyond regional headlines. Al-Shammeri breaks down why the Middle East has become a critical battleground in the global power shift from a unipolar world to an East-West showdown between the US and China. He reveals why the Kingdom – despite spending $30 billion on aid and defense – is actively pushing the US to de-escalate with Iran in pursuit of real political stability. He also tackles the optics problem: why the world loves a “David vs. Goliath” story, why it’s completely unfair to Saudi Arabia in the fight against the Houthis, and how the media manipulates the narrative. Tune in now to get the unfiltered story.
‘Russians are in the rear of Ukraine’s main defence line’ – Stanislav Krapivnik
Russia takes over important logistic hub in Donbass – Dobropolye. ‘Russians are in the rear of Ukraine’s main defence line’ – Stanislav Krapivnik. Stanislav Krapivnik, former US marine officer joins this episode of RT’s ‘Sanchez Effect’ with maps and military analysis of the conflicts in Ukraine and Yemen. The Russian military has delivered a report on major developments on the frontlines to President Vladimir Putin – forces have captured logistic hubs and expanded a ‘buffer zone’ throughout the border with Ukraine. Krapivnik says Russian forces have knocked out bridges over the Dnieper River, making it almost impossible for Kiev’s forces to hold their lines in Donbass and Eastern Ukraine. On the Yemen front, the third-largest city has been completely blocked by the Houthis and this encirclement gets tighter and tighter every day leading to the upcoming takeover of this significant city. Watch the whole analysis here on RT or on BitChute ‘ricksancheztv’.

Our neighbors’ experience shows security not increased by US foothold in region – Iranian ambassador to Russia
In an exclusive interview on RT’s Sanchez Effect, Kazem Jalali, Iranian ambassador to Russia, condemns America’s destabilizing impact on the international community and aggressive acts against sovereign nations – even without the age-old pretexts of ‘restoring democracy’ or ‘liberation’. He also assures that the Islamic Republic has no intention of attacking its neighbors unless they allow their territories to be used to strike Iran. The ambassador endorses the Houthis’ growing effort to push foreign influence out of Yemen – and advises Saudi Arabia to leave the country alone and choose cooperation instead.
