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.”

00:00:11this world into a beautiful world, will you walk with
00:00:16of us?

00:00:30Carlson, can Joe Kent, Thomas Massy, Margery Taylor
00:00:34Greene,
00:00:36of in lead the way to new America, perhaps a new party in America, new
00:00:40type of government in America, well uh, it may
00:00:44be something that is in the works. This is what you need
00:00:48to know and hear about on this
00:00:50day. Not only did we fix it, we have
00:00:54military standing there watching it. We know
00:00:58that the parties are aligned. on the issues that
00:01:02of matter against the population, i think they
00:01:04misjudged iran, they thought they were dealing with
00:01:08another Iraq or Syria or Saudi
00:01:12Arabia or Libya, and they
00:01:15weren't to believe that my engineers
00:01:19can create hypersonic missiles, to come to
00:01:23that is a big step in
00:01:25decolonization, no ship
00:01:28of now can enter odessa
00:01:31and um any other Ukrainian black
00:01:34seat. There is really lot going on on this
00:01:37day, lot to
00:01:38of chew on, you know, this is the effect. Let's do
00:01:41this.
00:01:47Hello again everybody, I'm Rick Sanchez. So many millions of you are watching every day and I want to thank you
00:01:51for being there, and I want to start the show today by literally showing you
00:01:55a photograph. Take a look at this, that's uh Tucker
00:01:59Carlson's... dining room table right, he invited some friends, that's Thomas
00:02:02Massy, now you see Marjerie Taylor Greene at the very end over
00:02:06there, and you see Joe Kent, there on the right,
00:02:10uh, the other two women are their spouses by the way, and the
00:02:14they're meeting with Tucker at his uh kitchen table to build what may be
00:02:18new order or or new party moving forward in the United
00:02:21States. See, all
00:02:23of these folks that you see here, by the way, used to be with Mr. Trump, but they're
00:02:27now opposing what he's doing, and the fact that he's turned. out to be no
00:02:31me of different, Mr. Trump is turning out to be no different than Mr. Biden
00:02:35or Mr. Obama, or Mr. Bush or Mr. I
00:02:39could go on, yeah, the guys who came before
00:02:42him, we
00:02:45of know that the
00:02:47of parties are aligned on the issues that matter
00:02:50against the population,
00:02:52now how do we
00:02:52know it's against the population because we have public opinion
00:02:54in polling, and it may not be precisely right, but over time we get a pretty clear picture
00:02:58of people's priorities. "and the big things
00:03:02that the US government endorsed by both parties are doing, which is spying on
00:03:06you more, moving ever growing share
00:03:09of gross domestic product to a smaller percentage
00:03:12of the population, invading countries, spending 1.5 trillion dollar a
00:03:16year a military, they can't win a war, etc., etc., etc., all things that they're doing
00:03:19the big things. population doesn't want those things. let me fill in some of
00:03:23those etc. etc. etc. that he was just talking about. billionaires are allowed to
00:03:27cheat in the United States today, more than..."
00:03:29oligarchs
00:03:36and
00:03:36said in
00:03:391990s the
00:03:48of you will pay taxes from now if you want to
00:03:52stay and
00:03:53of you will have to give back what you've stolen
00:03:55the Japanese for example they do the same thing culturally they
00:03:58humiliate almost. to the point of
00:04:01of hari right, their business people, if they catch them in mal
00:04:05feisans, mr. shi in china even, right, shuts
00:04:09down chinese companies overnight that are caught cheating the
00:04:12people, but in the US, it's a lot like France and
00:04:16Iran, right, just before their respective revolutions
00:04:20that changed everything, it's unbridled
00:04:23malphesens, hoarding,
00:04:26of bribing, insider deals, all of this, the
00:04:30United States today is going
00:04:32unpunished, it's just bribery for bribery
00:04:35sake,
00:04:37and and by
00:04:37the way, it's done out in the open, politically and in the
00:04:41business
00:04:48let's talk about that, the most expensive military in the
00:04:52history
00:04:52of the world, and yet there is an apparent lack of readiness
00:04:56and competence that right now is...
00:05:00mostly with just one word:
00:05:03Iran. I think you simply have an
00:05:06example of very large and expensive
00:05:09in military establishment that over many many years. was
00:05:13reduced in size without making any
00:05:15accommodations with change, that new
00:05:19technology, new forms of warfare
00:05:22required, and so it's a very wonderful, small but
00:05:26wonderful tribute to the arm forces the second world
00:05:29war and the cold war, nothing's
00:05:33changed, nothing has
00:05:36changed, hear those words, nothing has
00:05:39changed, so listen to what he just said and what that means, when he says nothing has
00:05:43changed, which begs this question, how can nothing have
00:05:47changed a military apparatus since the 1940s
00:05:51and 50s, since we now today spend up to
00:05:55two trillion dollars on that defense and
00:05:58military apparatus, when we used to spend, i looked it
00:06:02up, $13 billion dollars in the 1950s
00:06:05and we did better,
00:06:09how do you do better with 13 billion as opposed to two trillion? mean
00:06:13the percentage between 13 billion and two trillion
00:06:16what it is, it's less than 1%. so so now we're spending tens
00:06:20of thousands of times more on defense, and we get a
00:06:24military that is shown up
00:06:27badly by Iran, why? what it
00:06:31is, in many ways, it's
00:06:35about, it's about morals, it's about
00:06:38culture, the American culture the
00:06:401950s. Right, 40's, 50's, 60's, wherever you
00:06:44want to draw your line, it was about pride, it was
00:06:48about service, you know what it's about
00:06:51today, pure and simple,
00:06:55greed, it's about greed, and
00:06:59if you follow the money, especially in the military, what you're going to find out,
00:07:03that that money, right, is being spent, not on
00:07:06soldiers, not even on really better weapons per say as we're seeing in
00:07:10Iran, right, it's being used. to make very few
00:07:13people who own, run or associated with the military contracting
00:07:17corporations phenomenally rich, phenomenally
00:07:21rich, but let me go back
00:07:23to the question, let's go back
00:07:25to the question of Iran, why them aren't you, I mean,
00:07:28I would been perplexed by, I thought Iran was going to get its butt whipped, I really
00:07:32did, and I was there, right, just before the bombs
00:07:35fell, why them, how did they, how have they been
00:07:39able to show up the U.S.
00:07:43listen, I think they misjudged
00:07:46Iran, they thought they were dealing with another Iraq
00:07:50or Syria or Saudi Arabia or
00:07:54Libya, and they weren't, and they've gotten an
00:07:57education the hard way, and now, instead of
00:08:01recognizing the limits of our power and the prudent
00:08:04action that should be taken, which is to disengage and get
00:08:08out of this mess, I'm afraid we're doubling down on failure.
00:08:13We're doubling down on failure, says Doug
00:08:15McGregor. So how is Iran
00:08:18different? I've been tostling with this, right, ever
00:08:22since I've been following and covering this war and going there and talking to
00:08:26Irachi and other Iranian ministers. To better understand this, I
00:08:30had a conversation last night with Professor Mohammed Morandi,
00:08:34and and this is what I wanted to know, how it is that they were able to develop such incredible
00:08:38arsenal of of of weapons and missiles and rockets
00:08:42and... and drones and missile defenses, without anybody
00:08:45even noticing that they were doing this at the time. here it
00:08:49is. can you explain to us how
00:08:53Iran was able to come up with all these hypersonic
00:08:56mistles and still be using them to this day and hide them in
00:09:00such a way and build them in such a way so that nobody knew that they would have it and
00:09:04then still be able to be so effective with them? can
00:09:07you explain that to me buse it seemed to come out of
00:09:11nowhere? i think... It's the decolonization the mind when
00:09:14after the revolution the Iranians began to believe in themselves, come on, come
00:09:18on, no,
00:09:20I'm going to stop you, Venezuelans believe in themselves and what happened
00:09:23to them, Cubans believe in themselves and they're about to be
00:09:27taken, it's it's more than believing in yourself, you got
00:09:31to have a big gun, where'd you get the guns, but the
00:09:34thing is, but the thing is that when you the
00:09:37decolonization the mind goes further than that, rick, you have to
00:09:41believe that... you can you can beat them, so you have
00:09:45to start thinking how to beat them, oh can i match them with technology with
00:09:49my technology? of course, you can't defeat them, you have to buy
00:09:53f16s and if they give you f16s they're going to give you
00:09:57like the the older generation stuff, i need an
00:10:00f35, okay they may give it to you, they may not give it to
00:10:04you, and then when they give it to you it's going to be like two three generations older, and then
00:10:08what happens in war, the first thing they do is they bomb your airports and your 35s or...
00:10:13and so to believe that my my
00:10:17my engineers can create
00:10:20hypersonic missiles to come to
00:10:23that is a... step in
00:10:37so is that the difference? Iran didn't build
00:10:41you, the military so that some people in the country
00:10:44could get rich, or or some people who were
00:10:48associated with that company could get rich, or that the politicians could get
00:10:52fed money or something, as is the case with... with the United States right
00:10:56now, and then in the end there's nobody
00:10:59there to say, well, it didn't work, well,
00:11:03we got to do something about that, no, they just say, okay, who cares, the money's gone, we'll
00:11:07just come up with some new money, that's what happens, no, that's not what happens in
00:11:10Iran, right, it seems to me from my
00:11:13reporting that uh, it built the equipment just like the United States
00:11:17did during World War II, they built it because the
00:11:21need, the motivation for them was existential.
00:11:25Right, existential. In other words, we got to all pulled
00:11:29together, and
00:11:30we got to do this for our very survival, for our children, for our
00:11:34families. That, that's the difference.
00:11:38And that's how Professor Morondi was trying to help me
00:11:41understand in this conversation where I was pushing back on
00:11:44him, the real reason Iran is winning. It's not about
00:11:48magic bullet. It's about the magic in their hearts, I
00:11:51guess. Something America cannot. "my
00:11:55country just doesn't have right now, we've had it, maybe it's
00:11:59just,
00:11:59you know, maybe it'll come back, I hope so, because
00:12:03America's busy right now, I guess, it's busy with some strange,
00:12:06bizarre stuff, bizarre stuff that, by the way,
00:12:10it's not just coming from the left or the right, or the Democrats or the Republicans, it's coming from
00:12:14both. I'll start with the Democrats, here's an example of something I found just this
00:12:17morning, right? well, the Middle East is on fire, we could be
00:12:21on the brink of nuclear war with Ukraine." because of
00:12:25NATO's need for more territory and more money, what are they talking
00:12:29about in the Democratic Party? here's the ad. one of
00:12:33many that's running right now to elect a Democrat. this is Marky in
00:12:37Massachusetts ad. listen, a
00:12:41time when transgender people are under attack, Ed is taking action,
00:12:45leading efforts to pass a transgender bill of rights, expand access
00:12:49to gender affirming care and ban dangerous defenses that
00:12:53excuse violence against LGBT. plus people
00:12:57LGB2
00:12:58LGBTQ
00:13:02plus, you just have to wonder, I mean, really, is is that what we want
00:13:06to talk about? And what about the Republican Party? Let's talk about what the
00:13:10Republican Party's talking about. Here's the President the United States last
00:13:14night, talking about using the
00:13:17military, right? The US military that we're talking about right now and how
00:13:21they're not doing a good job in Iran, apparently, right? but he's going to be
00:13:25using them instead to protect his dirty
00:13:29reflecting pool, a swimming pool outside the white
00:13:33house, because well, here he is talking about the
00:13:37reflecting pool while wars are being lost and
00:13:41economic conditions for average Americans are literally tanking
00:13:44right now, listen, not only did we fix it, we have
00:13:48military standing there watching it, and if anybody
00:13:51touches it, we that was the one mistake with the reflecting... but they hadn't put
00:13:55up the cameras yet, they had enough up because you see what's
00:13:59happening, but if they would have had them up uh, we would have had lot
00:14:03of, it would have been a lot easier. reflecting
00:14:06pool cameras, is he really talking
00:14:10about this? mean if you're watching us and i know we got like 10,
00:14:1420 million people sometimes watching us from all over the world, whatever corner your world that
00:14:33that really do matter, there is Ukraine, right? talk about
00:14:36existential, Ukraine and the war with Russia, which continues
00:14:40and continues. It's something Mr. Trump doesn't talk
00:14:44about anymore these days, he used to, the west in general,
00:14:47Europe, NATO, EU, more specifically, they don't even
00:14:51want to talk about it, because because of what's happening right now, and
00:15:25dessa, something Russian generals have long wanted to do, and they finally
00:15:29got in the go ahead to do just that, and guess what it
00:15:33is,
00:15:33and I'll show you a little bit, but here, it's making a huge difference.
00:15:39ready: no ship now can enter
00:15:42Odessa and any other Ukrainian
00:15:46black seaport, and over the last
00:15:50um two days or so, the Russians have
00:15:53taken this escalation a whole step further,
00:15:57because Russian aircraft,
00:16:0034, fighter bombers have started to
00:16:04drop these f. decision
00:16:08guided bombs on the harbor installations in
00:16:11Odessa and in other places, which tell us that
00:16:15the air defenses of Odessa have completely collapsed so
00:16:19that Russian Hcroft can now operate
00:16:22within range, bombing range of
00:16:26Odessa,
00:16:27that is so important, that's huge right, that the air
00:16:31defenses have collapsed for the Ukrainians around
00:16:34Odessa, all right, let me let me show you what I'm talking. about we're
00:16:38going to put map together, so I'm going to show you the two regions, remember I told you there are three
00:16:41geographic regions that we're talking about right now, it means that
00:16:45this, at least as far as Odessa is concerned
00:16:47is no longer just about drones, it's about complete air
00:16:50superiority over the theater for the Russians that are
00:16:54now going to
00:16:55be able to use again aircraft and missile technology
00:16:59right, what they're going to
00:17:01be able to do now in this area around Odessa for the first
00:17:04time is described best with one word:
00:17:08Right, control, they will now
00:17:11control this area and control the
00:17:15black sea, who goes in, who goes out, what they're going to be able to get, it
00:17:19appears the generals who've been arguing this with Mr. Putin
00:17:23now to do this for more than year apparently, but Mr. Putin refused because he
00:17:27didn't want
00:17:27to upset India and he didn't want
00:17:28to upset Turkey, and I guess that's understandable, you know, he didn't want all the countries in
00:17:32this region that use the black sea to be upset with Russia, well
00:17:36guess what, those... generals appear now to have won this
00:17:39argument, and and here's the
00:17:43most ironic thing about all of this: it was
00:17:46Zelensky who helped the generals win
00:17:50their argument with Mr. Putin, why? because it was
00:17:54Zelensky and the Ukrainians who started targeting Russian
00:17:57naval ships here. the Russians said, okay, we're not going to blockade this, we're going to let
00:18:01this, everybody just go through as they want, and then Ukraine
00:18:05hit 100 Russian vessels. '27
00:18:08them were naval vessels in the black sea and
00:18:11then um Zelensky goes to uh Europe and he
00:18:15brags about it, look what I did, I, I destroyed the Russian
00:18:33well with Russia now having
00:18:37domin'. of this area right here and the ports
00:18:40around Odessa, right, which is how and where Ukraine
00:18:44in large measure gets its supplies, its military supplies
00:18:48and otherwise to feed and equip its troops that
00:18:52are that are on the front, right? the
00:18:55situation on the front looking more dire every day, no
00:18:59less, we we now
00:19:02have to ask the question, without this and with what's going on
00:19:05here, how long Ukraine hold out,
00:19:09Europeans are looking at this, they're not talking about it, but damn well that they're looking at this right
00:19:13now, buse this is what's actually going on on the front right now, you're not going to hear from the
00:19:17west, you're going to hear it here, right, cuz we're at least trying to look at it
00:19:21and be fair about it, if Ukraine's winning we do the same thing, but it looks like Russia is winning this
00:19:25thing because these conditions that we're talking about, now there's consistent
00:19:28reports that what is left the Ukrainian troops
00:19:32around the donbas and Zaparia for example are also cracking right
00:19:36now, does it have to? do with the fact that they're not being able to get lot of supply, it
00:19:40could be, but whatever it is, we know
00:19:44this, around this operasia,
00:19:46you know, it's huge, because if those
00:19:50defenses of Ukraine are cracking in this area right in
00:19:53here, it's specifically important
00:19:57for their ability to be able to defend anything in this
00:20:05okay, that's Zaparisia right there, that's... "if the Russians are
00:20:09able to take Zaparia and it's looking like they're awfully close, that's the
00:20:13Russians right there in the red or pinkish, whatever
00:20:16you want
00:20:16to call it, if they're able to take Zaparia, they're going to go all
00:20:20the way through river to essentially the Nipro
00:20:23area, and and if they go to the nepro, they can
00:20:27go west toward host of cities, or they can even
00:20:31go all the way down to odessa that they now
00:20:34control, because they have air superior."
00:20:38there
00:20:39and and dumbas in general, we've been telling you about this, the dumbas in
00:20:42general, is almost a done deal right
00:20:46now,
00:20:47I mean the Russians are not. knock, they they're
00:20:51knocking on the door and the the you
00:20:54know they're soon, according to reports going to be able to go into
00:20:58one city, and this is a really important city that I'm going to be telling you about right now,
00:21:02this is called Dobropilla, look at Dobropia right there
00:21:06on the map, see it right there, that's dopropia right up there,
00:21:09right, right under the sign that says slovians, but actually it's further to the
00:21:13west, that's west of both Sloviansk and Kramatorsk, which
00:21:17is really important right,
00:21:23are all but in the bag right now, mean the troops are just on the outskirts the city and
00:21:27they're about to go in, not taken yet, but
00:21:31having dopropilia right gives Russia a way to cut
00:21:34off the military supplies that would be able to help the
00:21:38Ukrainians do whatever defense they can of
00:21:42slovyansk and
00:21:57beyond this, it's going to allow the Russians if they go to
00:22:00Saparisia and control Odessa and have these two
00:22:04cities
00:22:05plus,
00:22:10then essentially it's kind of Katie by the door in many ways for
00:22:14them, and it's you know, it's not me saying this, this is what the military
00:22:17experts that I read when I sit around looking. at people who are actually looking
00:22:21at these maps, this is what they're saying as well
00:22:25that, it could be, who knows, russian control the
00:22:29donbas could now be possibly just matter of
00:22:33weeks,
00:22:39okay, so when we come back, i want
00:22:42to introduce you to somebody, all right, when we come back, i'm going to ask this question, i'm going to ask it of
00:22:46him, why would an American pick up his life, his wife, his
00:22:50eight children and move to Russia of all
00:22:53places. I Rick Sanchez should be asking that. I'm going to introduce you
00:22:57to Joseph Schutzman uh, he has done that. Why? How's it
00:23:01going? What are his thoughts about all
00:23:08Um, you know, I was just canceled by YouTube. I told you about this,
00:23:12right? They made almost all my work disappear, because I don't work at
00:23:15CNN, because I don't work at Fox. If I worked at those places, I'd be fine. It's crazy, I
00:23:19know. so what's the solution? do a favor, this is what i've
00:23:23done, you may want to check it out, go to bitsoot.com, all my
00:23:26stuff is there right now, there's my page, and uh, it's going to be there
00:23:30forever, because they do not make content disappear, they don't
00:23:34make creators like rick sanchez disappear, like youtube does to
00:23:38me, we'll be right
00:23:40back.
00:25:58let's do this I want you to I want I want you to meet somebody this is uh Joseph
00:26:01Schutzman. "I've been wanting to have a show with him for quite some time. In
00:26:05fact, I i've told my my staff and I told Natasha, I said, you
00:26:09know, this is fascinating story. Let let let's tell the
00:26:12story, because you're not the only one of people who have come from
00:26:16Russia and decided to live in Russia,
00:26:20who come from America, now now you and I have something
00:26:23particularly uh similar, right? You
00:26:55like amazing so you are cuban american now
00:26:59living in Russia yes now the important part isn't the cuban part although "there's a whole
00:27:03story behind that because the relationship between Cuba and the Soviet
00:27:06Union, but before we get to that uh, let's just talk about
00:27:10why you made your decision, people would want to know why, why would you
00:27:13leave the greatest country in the in the planet, we always told the
00:27:17greatest country in the world, and by the way, and in many ways it is, yeah, in many
00:27:21ways it is, at least in many ways it was, yeah, let's put it that way, put it that way,
00:27:25I think you may have point there, yeah, it's unfortunate you, because
00:27:29look, I, so we actually moved with six children, we've been here. for three years
00:27:33now and you continued breeding of course
00:27:35of course like uh you catholic uh little
00:27:38bit traditional catholic uh this is my my
00:27:42grandmother my abulita yes she my buela uh she has
00:27:46150 grandchildren now so
00:28:07um, we we basically it just had
00:28:10arrived to that it wasn't feasible anymore in in
00:28:14America to protect the innocence of our children. you know, I was
00:28:18told growing up by my own father, yeah, that children are like a beautiful
00:28:22white canvas, that's how they're come into the world. they have no expectations, and whatever
00:28:25you paint on that canvas, that's what it's going to look like. what, what is it,
00:28:29like they came home one day and said, dad, look what they told us. school this month we have
00:28:33to we have to all worship gay pride month or whatever or something like
00:28:37that right was six when i left we homeschool all of our
00:28:41children and people said the same thing
00:28:43you know like okay well you can at least protect your children no I'm
00:28:46sorry all their uh the children that are their age
00:28:50they're going to school as to public school right and they're
00:28:54going to meet one day and they're going to have to live a society that's like
00:28:58that people lot to think about here and now but we really have to start considering our...
00:29:02future nowadays, this is why we have so many children, we got to actually
00:29:06bring more children into this world while unfortunately so many people are
00:29:10taking them out. yeah, and it's interesting because the experience I've had so far in Russia, and by
00:29:14the way, just to be clear, when I say this about gay Pride Month, it it's
00:29:18not about hating people who are gay or disallowing people for being who they
00:29:22are, it's it's about the promotion of something. I i
00:29:25don't want my children to go to a school where they are forced
00:29:29for an entire month to celebrate something, that i may not
00:29:33necessarily either a agree with or b agree should be
00:29:37celebrated to that degree, that's all. i'm
00:29:40not saying you're not allowed to be gay, hate gay. no, i that's not what we're
00:29:43about, but it just seems like it's not the government's place, and the
00:29:47difference that i see in Russia, correct me if i'm wrong,
00:29:50is they don't promote or
00:29:53celebrate lifestyles or even for
00:29:56example, i don't like the fact that we celebrate Hispanic heritage month in
00:30:00the United States, why? i'm Hispanic.
00:30:04yeah, absolutely, or black history, for example, yeah, no, it
00:30:08it's absolutely true uh, but I will say one thing for Russia that they
00:30:12do celebrate a normal society, like for example, a good friend of mine,
00:30:16Fabrice sorlin, his wife just received the award for Mother Hero
00:30:20for having 10 children in Russia, they celebrate family here, you
00:30:23know, this is something there's so much mut incentivized
00:30:27incentive it as well, it's not incentivized in the United States, but
00:30:31it is here, if you have... children, you get lower tax base, if you
00:30:35have children, you get other credits for food, etc., if
00:30:38you're a woman and you get pregnant, you get 14 months
00:30:42paid leave at your home so you can spend the rest more than year with
00:30:46your child, that doesn't exist in the United States, we don't have that, cheaper mortgage rates, sometimes
00:30:50mortgage rates, cheaper car loans, i like
00:30:54again, they act like they actually want to have children in their country,
00:30:58yeah, our country doesn't act like that anymore.
