Sanchez Effect

RT

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.”

‘Russia is a unique country that loves human rights and will do everything to protect them’ – Yana Lantratova

‘Many myths are told about Russia – all untrue. Russia is a unique country that loves human rights and will do everything to protect them’ – Russian Human Rights High Commissioner Yana Lantratova.

On the latest episode of ‘Sanchez Effect,’ we get a rare glimpse into the soul of someone who cares so much for so many others. Ms. Lantratova shares her fierce commitment to human rights, a drive solidified by the violence that broke out in Donbass in 2014, when she risked her life to evacuate children from besieged cities. She also speaks in visceral detail about Ukraine’s deadly drone strike earlier this year on a college in the city of Starobelsk.

Lantratova explains how her office has worked, despite no formal diplomatic ties with Ukraine, to create humanitarian corridors that enable families to be reunited and POWs to come home. She dispels the myth that Russia’s constitution guarantees nothing more than symbolic freedoms. At the same time, she confronts the Western narrative, asking viewers to question whether global powers are truly impartial when they turn a blind eye to the suffering of Russian-speaking civilians in Donbass. Don’t miss it – only on RT.

‘You are looking at worldwide depression: less food, less mobility, decline in standard of living’ – David Morgan

‘You are looking at worldwide depression if both straits are closed: less food, less mobility, decline in standard of living.’ – David Morgan.

On the latest episode of Sanchez Effect, economist and publisher David Morgan explains how the conflict with Iran could instantly choke critical energy lifelines, triggering an unprecedented worldwide depression and resource shortages. He also exposes the systemic lies driving the collapse of US dollar dominance. According to him, a monumental shift in geopolitical power is already underway as China collects more gold than any other global player.

Morgan cuts through the noise of daily market volatility, breaking down why traditional paper assets are a mathematical trap and why gold, silver, and Bitcoin are the only real lifelines left. True survival, however, isn’t just about your bank account – it requires a complete psychological reset to reclaim personal integrity and look past a deeply corrupt system. Watch the full interview before the next financial crisis reaches your doorstep – only on RT.
