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.”

00:00:00Hispanic, I'm proud to be Hispanic, but I don't need a month,
00:00:03of absolutely, or black history, for example, yeah, no, it it's
00:00:06absolutely true uh, but I will say one thing for Russia that they do
00:00:10celebrate a normal
00:00:12of society, like for example, a good friend of mine, Fabrice Sollin, his wife just received
00:00:16the award for Mother Hero for having 10 children in Russia,
00:00:20they celebrate family here, you
00:00:22of know, this is something there's so much money, incentivized
00:00:25incentive it, as well, it's not incentivized in the United
00:00:28of States, but
00:00:29it is here. you have children, you
00:00:31of get lower tax base, if you
00:00:33of have children, you get other credits for food, etc. if you're
00:00:37a woman and you get pregnant, you get 14 months
00:00:40paid leave at your home so you can spend the rest more than year with
00:00:44your child, that doesn't exist in the united states, we don't have that, cheaper mortgage rates, sometimes
00:00:48of mortgage rates, cheaper car loans,
00:00:51i like again, they act like they actually want to have children in
00:00:55their country, yeah, our country doesn't act like that anymore, is it children or family, it
00:00:59seems like there's a real, here's something I noticed as soon as I came here, I
00:01:03of went to the parks, right? I was living close to the city of Moscow, and every day I'd
00:01:07go for a jog, like dumb boring American, it's all I had to do, put on
00:01:11jogging shorts and go for a jog, and I'm going through all these green spaces and all these
00:01:14parks
00:01:15and what do I see benches, stories,
00:01:18history, I'm seeing things that are swings,
00:01:22I'm seeing things that are inviting
00:01:24of families, come spend time here, yes, be family
00:01:28in this area, you know, and... to your point,
00:01:31in the United States by
00:01:32of the way, I gotta and I got
00:01:32to say this, the United States, our parks are locked, that's right, there's a
00:01:36of lock
00:01:36on them, and I used to get mad, I say, I'm paying taxes, why can't I go to the park, oh no,
00:01:40we've reserved it today for the such and such league of whatever the
00:01:44hell, I don't know, soccer
00:01:45a league, yeah, LGBT baseball, stop
00:01:49it, uh, no, but like to your point, you, you,
00:01:53you're
00:01:54of uh, you remember when you were kid, I mean, I
00:01:56of remember when I was kid, do I
00:01:58of ever, the growing up as cuban? and yeah right,
00:02:01but I don't remember the
00:02:03a park's being locked that, I remember families going to the park, I remember
00:02:07that - the the big holidays in
00:02:09a America were tremendously celebrated, kids were running all over the place, you got me
00:02:12talking about something that is is so dear and near to me, I was one
00:02:16of the people who so looked up
00:02:18of to the uh recreation directors who were paid by the city to be
00:02:22in the park to recreate children that as soon as I got my first job guess
00:02:26of what it was, working
00:02:27in a park, coaching coaching boys and girls. was baseball and
00:02:31football and stuff buse i thought that was important today you go to a park in
00:02:34america there are no wreck leaders, there's a guy who moves the
00:02:38lawn yeah that's right that's it that's right so so there's
00:02:40a an absolute difference in how they view and incentivize what families
00:02:44can do together but you go to you've seen this you go into uh restaurants in moscow
00:02:48they have playrooms in the restaurants i like showed up and i'm like what this
00:02:52is like kitty paradise
00:02:54of here of which sometimes is frustrating buse the kids are loud but nobody but but people
00:02:58say no their kids let them be lou exactly, exactly, that's
00:03:02the sound
00:03:02of of their future, we have that at McDonald's in the United States, but they have that at every
00:03:06restaurant here in Moscow, that's right, they have a place for the kids to play while their parents
00:03:10are dining, even at four, five star restaurants, I mean like high-end restaurants even
00:03:14they have, it's incredible, what do you say when when people in
00:03:18America ask you, what
00:03:19are you doing in Russia, don't
00:03:20you know that's
00:03:21a crazy dangerous communist place and poot in this and putting
00:03:25that and all that, do do you even talk to people anymore or do you oh no,
00:03:28I talk to lots of people. "I talk to uh my friends and my family, of course I
00:03:32miss
00:03:33a all
00:03:33of them, I don't really miss the the society, especially in the post
00:03:37covid world, that that place just got crazy. I mean,
00:03:40my sometimes I show my wife like, hey, look, this is what's going on. We look back, we're
00:03:44like, we used to live there, like, what, yeah, and it's really sad,
00:03:48because when you're inside the fish bowl, you don't really appreciate how bad
00:03:52it really is, cuz you just, it's gradually increasing, and now you look
00:03:56back and you're just like, it is, it's crazy, so I talked to..." friends and
00:04:00family and um we still have you know good
00:04:03relationships with everybody, but nobody really
00:04:06understands uh at least from family perspective
00:04:10uh some of my friends, some of my uncles understand and even
00:04:14they're very interested in this you
00:04:16of know this story and how it continues, but I talked to tons
00:04:20of people who are not
00:04:22of related to me, not my friends who reach out to me from uh my
00:04:25channel just seeing they're like, wow there's a guy with a large family here, he's
00:04:29making it how? is that possible? we want to do something like that too, and
00:04:33big families,
00:04:34of mean i have one talking to one family,
00:04:35i have 12 kids. wow, yeah, so well, russians love
00:04:38americans, they do, it's really shocking, they're just totally in love with our
00:04:42culture and us,
00:04:45of and it's embarrassing, is it? i it is for me, and i imagine it's embarrassing
00:04:49for
00:04:49of you, that they so, put a pedestal
00:04:53our culture and our songs, and if you go to the mall, and if you go anywhere, it's
00:04:57American songs, american music, american
00:05:00of in lettering. american banners, american everything, and we treat
00:05:02of them like dog poop, that is such
00:05:06nice way of putting it, i was going to use another word,
00:05:10i know, but i caught myself, "we really do, mean
00:05:14they've done everything, but put their hand out, how do we join you, we want to be like
00:05:18you, you know, let's combine our militaries, let's let's
00:05:21combine our nuks, let let us join NATO, and we're like, no, get out of here, you
00:05:25russian pigs, we don't want
00:05:26to have anything to do with you, we want to be a war with you, yeah, no, I when I showed up in
00:05:30Russia for the first time in February 2023, I was here on like the third day, and I
00:05:34finally turned to my friend, I just said, why isn't somebody coming up and like acosting at
00:05:38me, I would, like, I would understand if somebody just came and yelled at me, like,
00:05:42what is your?" " country doing and he looked at me like kind of cock hide and
00:05:46he's like, what
00:05:46do you mean, we love Americans, we just hate your government, I was like, oh, I guess we
00:05:50could be friends, I do too, like that's the situation, and so
00:05:54talking with uh, with the the like with Russians like you say, it's almost
00:05:58embarrassing how much they admire us and even
00:06:02they admire us for things that aren't real anymore, yeah,
00:06:06that's that's even, well that's because during the so this is this is, I'm glad
00:06:10you went there, what I find from Russia. especially the older ones is
00:06:13because they live through uh lot them or their parents lived through the soviet era
00:06:17when things did suck here and uh they look to
00:06:21america as that really special place that beacon on the
00:06:25hill as Mr Reagan once said um they don't know that that's
00:06:28not like that anymore they they they're still because they grew up
00:06:32watching those movies and tv shows and all that stuff you know you know my
00:06:36assistant Marie is always we got to go to New York and I'm thinking New York is a
00:06:39pit
00:06:41and I'm like no don't go there, no, yeah, here's the
00:06:45thing with me, I think though, Joseph, for me, it's about the
00:06:49corruption, it it's just gotten so that
00:06:53everything is about either
00:06:57materialism, money, yeah, and it's always been, the world
00:07:01has always been that way, but it just seems today like, I mean, I'm not the most godly
00:07:04guy in the world, but I'm a Catholic, and I go to church and I believe in God, and I just think
00:07:08that deep down, you got to be able to look at yourself and look at your God in the mirror, or
00:07:12whatever
00:07:12it is you look if you don't happen to be religious
00:07:15a person and find that thing in you that says
00:07:19i'm doing the right thing. i can't see how
00:07:23some guy who's a hundred times billionaire or
00:07:26trillionaire can can be in that place and there's every
00:07:30day more them and more poor people so that bothers me.
00:07:34no
00:07:35it it is it's something to be worried about and concerned
00:07:38about and again it goes back to the same thing as once you've been living in.
00:07:42this same cycle over and over again, we've gotten
00:07:45dessensitized to that, and you almost have to like cleanse
00:07:49yourself by leaving the country just so you can look back at it with
00:07:53clearer lens, but it's really really horrible and it continues to get
00:07:56worse. i talked to my uncle back uh five years ago,
00:08:00and he called me up, he's like, joseph, man, just the world is just getting so
00:08:04horrible, and i said buckle up buddy, it's going to get a whole lot worse, but it
00:08:08seems like the west, our countries, whether you're looking if you whether you're watching us right? now
00:08:12from the UK or Germany or the United States or any these western
00:08:15countries,
00:08:17you know, I, I, I, I find that it's worse there than
00:08:20it is in the countries we were talked to hate, yes, I find more
00:08:24unity in China, in India,
00:08:26in in the Middle East and in Russia than I do in our own countries,
00:08:30and hell of lot less corruption, and when I look at the the
00:08:34popularity polls for example, or the pulls they do on politicians, I find that leaders
00:08:38like Modi and Chi and Putin and these guys, they're more like by their people.
00:08:42than our leaders are, I mean, the guy in the UK, Starmer was at
00:08:4512%, this guy in France, Macron is a like
00:08:4818%, Mr. Trump is at 36%. Putin
00:08:52love him or hate him, he's around 70 or 80%, so is she, so is
00:08:56Modi, but they're supposed to be the bad guys, and and
00:08:59we're and everybody sitting back at home in America thinking, that's not possible, how
00:09:03could somebody love a leader of a country so much that they would have
00:09:0770 or 80% approval rating, like that's unheard of, that's not possible,
00:09:11buse they comfortable with their. Yeah, exactly, yeah, exactly, that's
00:09:15that's kind of what it is, and what do you think of Tucker and these
00:09:19guys, you saw, I started the show with that today, Tucker's just fed
00:09:22up, and he, who's a friend of mine on the right,
00:09:26uh, Jack Hugger, who's a friend of mine on the left, because I don't think there's any difference in the
00:09:30end, um, they're coming together and trying to form
00:09:34something that gives the United States, our country,
00:09:37really, back to the people, isn't that at
00:09:41the essence what the government is? supposed to do and where did they drop the ball and when did they stop doing that and do
00:09:45you perceive that? i do, i i think i have
00:09:49probably not the most motivating perspective on on
00:09:52that uh, it's it's unfortunate, i think tucker's a great guy, i think you
00:09:56thomas, i don't know any these people personally, you do uh, but they
00:10:00seem like really genuinely good people, but the president said something several
00:10:04years ago which i thought was really uh
00:10:07realistic, i think, he just said,
00:10:09you know, people go into this public office a...
00:10:12and america and they think, okay, I'm going to change the world, I'm going to fix it all,
00:10:16and then the men with
00:10:17the the black suits come in and they leave, and they're different people, and I think
00:10:21in many ways
00:10:22that this may have been what even happened to Trump, maybe Trump was. actually
00:10:25sincere at the beginning, I hope that somehow we can break this
00:10:29cycle, but really at the end of it, our
00:10:33constitution was laid out pretty clearly that they knew that this
00:10:36was going to happen, they knew that this was going to be challenged, they knew that this
00:10:40corruption was going to sneak in, that's why we have these various
00:10:44amendments like the freedom of speech, the right to bear arms, all these
00:10:47concepts, but if you're not willing to use them, well yeah, then
00:10:51you're doomed to failure, so I wish all these guys.
00:10:55like all the best, but Americans are going to
00:10:58have to find that within themselves to actually, what does that step up?
00:11:02what does
00:11:02that mean?
00:11:03you said something interesting, the men in the black suits, some people call them the administrative state, some people
00:11:07call it the black, the deep state, what, whatever the hell you want to call
00:11:11it, there's no question that guys like you and i, just average Americans
00:11:15and so many other people who are listening to us in America, know
00:11:19that there is something in the background, something nefarious which is running the
00:11:22game, right? play the... that they're being played
00:11:26in many ways. doesn't that mean then that
00:11:29this country that we thought was democracy is really not a democracy? you
00:11:33know uh, democracies, i yes, the answer, if there's
00:11:37a force that that is unmovable and unchangeable, that is called
00:11:41in my name, in my game, in my way of looking it a dictatorship.
00:11:45yeah, no, look, democracies only survive by the
00:11:49virtue the people that live in that democracy. if your people are
00:11:53not virtuous, then you can't. have a real democracy, the
00:11:56democracy falls apart, and this goes to your point about the corruption,
00:12:00etc. there is so much corruption, this is how governments fall throughout
00:12:04history, we can look at them, the Romans when they fell into their debauchy and
00:12:07their hedenism and their corruption, everybody, one
00:12:11after the other, we're at the end of an age, and people really need to start
00:12:15waking up to that and not being so, you, it's not wrong to be
00:12:19proud of your country, but we need to expel pride from
00:12:23our sense.
00:12:24I've
00:12:30always hated exceptionalism, American exceptionalism I think is
00:12:34dirty word, yes,
00:12:35you know, it's like, well, you have to think we're the greatest country and we're the greatest
00:12:39and we can do anything we want because we're america and it's like, what are you talking
00:12:43about, do you know any, what do you know about china, what do
00:12:46you know about Russia, what do you know about India, what do
00:12:48you know about Iran, nothing, I think may maybe that's a big part the problem, you
00:12:52were talking about your children and you're worried about them growing up in America. "they grew up in America, they would
00:12:56be stupid, yeah, I mean, I'm sorry to say this, but that would be best case scenario,
00:12:59right, stupid, I would even take stupid, okay, you
00:13:03know what I'm talking about, all the other crap, that's what I'm talking about,
00:13:07yeah, yeah, exactly, would they have all their human parts on them,
00:13:11perhaps, you know, like these are these are real legitimate concerns,
00:13:15it is, it is, that whole LGBT trans thing, I, I, I, I, I, I
00:13:19get very frustrated with it, and I don't understand it, and I think there there,
00:13:23there's also a question of immorality there." not because people should be beat up for what they
00:13:26believe in if even if they've gone in wayward ways, but because I hate to see
00:13:30people being told that they have to be something that they don't understand, yeah, absolutely,
00:13:34and that's really what it is, and they get mad if you don't understand it, like,
00:13:38you don't know that I'm a cysgender, and it's like, I don't even know what that
00:13:42means,
00:13:42I don't
00:13:43have to spell it, yeah, it's like, the identification with
00:13:47these symbols and this terminology just makes me absolutely
00:13:50crazy, and then their impertinence, their inability to have the
00:13:54patience to say: 'well, I know, it probably kind of sounds weird
00:13:57to you, but here, I'll explain it to you. I, I would understand, I would have a conversation with somebody
00:14:01who understands things that
00:14:02I don't understand, but they don't
00:14:04do that, they like hit you over the head with it, like you're, you're a
00:14:07racist, you're a, you're a biggot, you're a whatever the hell that they
00:14:11call us, that is frustrating, no,
00:14:13it is, but it, but it's it's not even just that, it's like people become
00:14:17obsessed with this identity as opposed to how can they
00:14:20contribute to society, I want my children to contribute to society to a'.
00:14:25better future, that is not the way to better future to be obsessed with,
00:14:29who am I? teach him geography, teach him math, teach him english, teach
00:14:32him literature, these
00:14:34are the things I want my children to know, that's right, and they don't,
00:14:38and and it's like we were saying man, in America, one the most frustrating
00:14:42things is that I, I used to be a part of it, I mean, I,
00:14:46I, dude, I anchored the news at CNN, I anchored the news at Fox, I anchored the
00:14:50news at NBC, these are places that made me feel like I had
00:14:53to buy in and...
00:14:55to, not we're only not buy even in but expel this false narrative to people
00:14:58every day until I started looking at myself in the mirror and I'm saying, I'm
00:15:02lying
00:15:03to people, why? they they should know
00:15:07that things like the Ukraine war didn't happen because one day Russia just decided it wanted to
00:15:11invade Ukraine, you even if you don't want
00:15:14to like what they did, at least understand
00:15:16the motivation, but we're not allowed
00:15:17allowed to tell people that motivation, no, not allow to read about it, not none of this, and that's
00:15:21just one example, I just, you know, I could, I could have used any, but we happen to be talking about that.
00:15:25front the map today, that's that's a problem. yeah, it is. you
00:15:28said about the exceptionalism, i think that there's another interesting point
00:15:31there, because we talk about a awful lot when we're being feeling
00:15:35patriotic, maybe after 9/11. For example,
00:15:38we talk very very loudly about being one nation under God,
00:15:42which unfortunately I think that we're anything but or maybe we're not talking about
00:15:46the same god as the Christian God anyways, yeah, but
00:15:49exceptionalism is not a Christian concept,
00:15:53no at all, not in the slightest, nobody, God's like, I
00:15:56want you to tell you look at yourself in the morning every morning and say, I'm the best guy
00:16:00there is, Jesus was any, Jesus was anything
00:16:04but an exceptionalist, that's right, that's right, Jesus. about how do i bring
00:16:08myself down to be at the level the people who are beneath me, how
00:16:12do wash their feet? thank you, my god, you did grow up as
00:16:15catholic, we were taught that as children, you humble
00:16:19yourself, you find something about everybody that you
00:16:22can, you know, appreciate and love, yeah, and that's what i love
00:16:26about russians, they they have their own faults just like anybody else, they have
00:16:30their country has its own problems just like any other country has as
00:16:34problems, not the same problems, but they're...
00:16:37people, they're people who don't try to boost themselves up over
00:16:41everybody else, they approach like friends, they they
00:16:45still remember the the
00:16:47the the meeting at the elp, they remember that every year in Moscow
00:16:51when Russian soldiers ran and shook American soldiers
00:16:54hands, I was talking smack about what was going on in
00:16:58our military to a Russian
00:17:01paraatrooper, these are special forces in Russia right, these these are the
00:17:04top guys and I was smack talking buse I was like this... is crazy with all this and
00:17:08he's like, hey, careful, we were taught to respect
00:17:12those marines, we were taught to respect those marines, i
00:17:16was, he's like, we have a tremendous amount of admiration for the marines,
00:17:20yes, and you're like, right, what, we don't
00:17:23in america, the world war ii is all about the
00:17:26holocaust, and uh, and
00:17:28you know, with all due respect to all the horrible things that happened to many the Jews at the
00:17:32time there, yeah, it's a big part the story, but it's not the only part the story,
00:17:36we celebrate world. two in Normandy and the big uh the
00:17:40big the big uh kahunas there are the french
00:17:44yeah and when last time i checked the french lasted about a month and a half in world war
00:17:47i so why are we celebrating the french exactly and the russians are not
00:17:51allowed to go they're kept out the guys who actually
00:17:55won and defeated the nazis and lost 27 million
00:17:58people no no you guys stay out we're gonna have we're going to have mcrone give
00:18:02a speech that's crazy that's like you do you not know your
00:18:06history mhm It's okay, you
00:18:07want to hate Russia, hate Russia, but know the story of World War
00:18:11II, yes, that's like this woman who works in the EU, Kaya Calas, she
00:18:15recently said, I don't understand how the Chinese and the Russians have anything to do with World
00:18:19War II, it's like, are you stupid? I mean, you heard
00:18:23that, yeah, oh yeah, but she, but again, she's just lying to the freaking camera for
00:18:27crying out loud, her father was, is she or is she just stupid? no, she
00:18:29her father was like one the main characters the communist party in in her own
00:18:33country, yeah, for crying out loud, her husband does business in Russia for...
00:18:37crying out loud, what are you talking about? you know the you know the gig and you're
00:18:41just playing stupid i she is stupid, but i think she's playing more
00:18:45stupid then she's coming off as let's put it that way. what's what's the difference in
00:18:49the end? i don't know. do you think these people in like places like
00:18:53NATO and the EU, um, they're all rich,
00:18:57they're all bankers, they all want to go to war with Russia, they they've
00:19:01all they they attacked Belgrade, they attacked Iraq, I mean, they're kind of
00:19:05warmers. do they do it buse they're evil? Are they
00:19:08bad people? is is
00:19:10too bad uh ursela vonderlayan, mark
00:19:14ruta uh kayaklas, all these
00:19:17Europeans
00:19:18who who we're reading about, i can read you, i can pick up my open my laptop right now and you'd
00:19:22see, i could quote you like, we destroy the Russians, we got to go to war
00:19:26here, we got to go to war there, the you know they want to conquer Iran, I mean, they're
00:19:30like, what is it, what happened, they they, they are, they are
00:19:33evil,
00:19:34that they absolutely are evil, you know, it goes back to what, I was talking
00:19:38about with regards to how the Russians perceive Americans, they have
00:19:42a superpower that is somehow unique, maybe to Russians, that they're able to
00:19:46separate governments and people. We think of Russians as all
00:19:49one uh, but they the Russians can actually
00:19:52separate government and people, and the governments are all corrupt, they're all
00:19:56satanic cabals in their own in their own right. One the things I love about
00:20:00Russia is the dead of devotion and respect
00:20:04for religion and the churches. My wife and I went to Uglich this week.
00:20:08uh we took a boat there, it was fantastic and we spent most the time
00:20:12understanding
00:20:13the the history of Dimitri and the history of what happened and the old
00:20:17Russian folklore, but I'm not going to bore people with that, but
00:20:20all the people in that town of about 3000 people or so they all
00:20:24have devotion and
00:20:26they take care their churches and they respect them and
00:20:30you see them out there cleaning them and going to them, when did that
00:20:34when did Russia a place that used to be a communist?
00:20:37becomes so religious and is that one the things that attracts
00:20:41you now buse you're you're you're you're a christian
00:20:43practicing yeah no
00:20:47um i have a tremendous amount of respect for the the
00:20:50orthodox here and how they've rebuilt so many their churches, actually
00:20:53I'm uh working right now to help uh a orthodox priest with the
00:20:57rebuilding of one of his churches in and and just so our
00:21:01viewers understand during the soviet era lot of those churches were taken down and turned into something
00:21:05else because you they just didn't believe in that since the soviet era they've been
00:21:09going from town to town and rebuilding the churches, 30,00 churches under
00:21:12Putin's presidency, I think have been rebuilt, restored, renovated, and we're losing
00:21:16Georges in America, absolutely closing them, Catholic dioces
00:21:19is closing. all the time bitch, it's got to play golf, right? where is this
00:21:23story? right, that nobody knows this, if I didn't have you here
00:21:27talking about this, nobody would know, it's it's it's very sad.
00:21:30i i went out to Nishinovgrad region, which is
00:21:34divievo, amazing place, spiritual place, it's
00:21:37a chosen home the mother of God in Russia, and we're going to do
00:21:41documentary on this, and this is things that we as westerners need
00:21:45to understand as Christians that we need to be seeking
00:21:49friends.
00:21:50and understanding, why not? we we have the same god for crying out loud,
00:21:54can we not actually work on that? you were instrumental in bringing Candace Owens over
00:21:58here, and thank you for that, because it was, I had a wonderful
00:22:01opportunity to spend some time talking to her about lot of important things,
00:22:05but uh, what was your reason for that, and how did you
00:22:09connect? well, that's a very good question, um, so
00:22:13lot of people have asked me that question, really, the only thing is that I'm
00:22:17a traditional Catholic, and Candace. and her husband our traditional she
00:22:21talks about it every day on her show, i know sometimes too much, but
00:22:24anyway, no, people need to start realizing that that that people
00:22:28are genuine about their faith, that they were looking, yes she is, god bless her for
00:22:32that, absolutely, and george, her husband, and george, um, and so I
00:22:36wrote a letter, I had some mutual friends
00:22:39ironically in Australia that helped us get the letter to
00:22:43her, and she read it, and George called me back few days later after I
00:22:47sent it halfway around the world and come back, um, but again,
00:22:51I asked them a spiritual mission and that that was that
00:22:55was how that was that says, and you know what I love
00:22:59about her, there's one word that you're going to love bause you're buse you're
00:23:02Christian, fearless, it's important in life to have
00:23:06something that's bigger than yourself, and that's what gives us the courage to go throughout,
00:23:10yes, and I believe in that, and I believe in Candas in in that,
00:23:14she's fearless in what she says, the thing she has gone
00:23:17after and criticized and the thing that to a certain extent Tucker and some
00:23:21others are now doing, that's an act of fearlessness, yes, her
00:23:25coming to Russia and letting the world know she's in Russia, her appearing with Rick
00:23:29Sanchez on RT, I've got a million people who love me, oh my god, you're doing great,
00:23:33I love Rick Sanchez, and then our bookers will call them and say, hey, you want to come on,
