The European Union is hit with major protests – the Spanish government collapses over a housing crisis, French students clash with police over education underfunding, in Germany people protest against militarization and a dire economic situation. What would you do as the leader of any of those countries? Go to Ukraine and pledge more money like Friedrich Merz did? Or test a new missile like Emmanuel Macron? RT’s Europe correspondent Chay Bowes joins Rick Sanchez for a conversation mocking these poor elites. And in the second part, Fadi Lama, author of ‘Why the West Can’t Win: From Bretton Woods to a Multipolar World’ tells Rick why Europe and the United States, despite all their colonial and hawkish policies, can’t win against the emerging multipolar world.

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.”
