#95 Hating China. The New National Obsession.

Fri, 27 Jan 2023 11:00:00 -0000

Rick Sanchez welcomes show producer Scotty Mednick to the show and they discuss the possibility of the existence of a “Deep State” within the US Government. They examine the facts that today’s politicians or decision-makers have too many conflicts of interest between their roles within the government and Corporate America. Another example is the recent occurrence where the new Ambassador to China could not get a 15-minute meeting with either President Biden or Vice-President Harris. Sanchez asserts that this was not the President’s or the Vice-President’s decision, but rather the advice of another group of war-profiteering advisors that is dead-set on keeping China in an adversarial position against the US. They conclude that the US got to its position as a world leader by being strong and aggressive; but are we happier for it? Would we be willing to trade our technological advancements and creature comforts for world peace?

#94 Dealing with Government Lies. When Did it Start?

Wed, 25 Jan 2023 11:00:00 -0000

Rick Sanchez welcomes author Jefferson Morley to discuss the JFK assassination and all of the red tape and roadblocks that have been put in place by the US government that has delayed making the file open to the public. Morley claims that many witnesses, including the President’s own secret service agents, claimed that the shots that killed President Kennedy came from the grassy knoll and not the book depository. The doctor that performed the autopsy said in his report that the bullet that killed JFK entered through the front of his head and not the back. Why is the CIA so keen on keeping the file closed? Are they trying to hide their complicity or their incompetence? Morley and Sanchez agree that until that file is made public, we may never know.

Fri, 20 Jan 2023 11:00:00 -0000

Rick Sanchez welcomes show producer Scotty Mednick to discuss happiness and the mistakes people make trying to achieve it. They both agree that fear of failure is the biggest detriment to success and happiness. Another detriment is taking things for granted and not pausing to appreciate the moment. When striving for happiness you must be proactive. Stop thinking about it and take action, and don’t get caught waiting for the bus… start running. We waste too much time worrying about the problem instead of attacking it. Sanchez concludes that you must live for now, live for yourself and enjoy the process. Remember that happiness is not a destination, but rather it’s all about the journey.

#91 What Your Relationship with Your Sister or Brother Says About You.

Wed, 18 Jan 2023 11:00:00 -0000

Rick Sanchez welcomes show producer Scotty Mednick and Dr. Mark Feinberg, research professor at Penn State University, to discuss sibling rivalries and the effect they can have on a family. Dr. Feinberg asserts that the most accurate predictor of happiness and wellness in your life is the type of relationship that you have with your sibling simply because it is the longest relationship will ever have. The sibling relationship is actually more delicate than the relationship with a parent because you are both equals and must cultivate the relationship dynamic. The sibling relationship is given to you, you do not choose it. You must deal with the ups and downs and cannot terminate the relationship like you can with a friend or a love interest. Sanchez concludes that the sibling relationship is unique because it is the only one where you can hate them and love them at the same time.

#90 A Struggle to Learn From... When Latinos Came of Age in America.

Mon, 16 Jan 2023 11:00:00 -0000

We revisit a conversation that Rick Sanchez had with Emmy-nominated filmmaker Carlos Sandoval where they discussed his documentary “A Class Apart” which exposes the brutal and shameful treatment of US Latinos during the 1950s. Sanchez and Sandoval focused on the 1954 case of Hernandez vs Texas which went all the way to the US Supreme Court in which it was ruled that Mexican Americans would now be allowed to participate as jurors, especially in cases that involved other Latinos. Sandoval explained that in the 50s Latinos were considered white Americans but were treated with the same hatred and racism as the African Americans of that time period. Segregated bathrooms and eating establishments, insults, hate crimes, and unfair treatment in the workplace. It’s an ugly part of America’s history that is not in the history books but that everyone should know about.

Fri, 13 Jan 2023 11:00:00 -0000

Rick Sanchez welcomes filmmaker Sean Stone, son of legendary writer/director Oliver Stone to discuss his extraordinary upbringing as well as the current state of US politics. Stone begins the conversation by touching briefly on his childhood and telling stories about being on the set of “Salvador” when he was 6 months old and the set of “Platoon” when he was 2. Stone and Sanchez go on to discuss a variety of topics including the ways that today’s politicians are profiting economically from their positions, the corruption that exists in today’s corporate media, the differences between being a critic and a cynic, and the dangerous path that the US government is following by being beholden to military contractors. They conclude by asserting that instead of trying to cope with the state of the world today, it is much better to attempt to cope with the spiritual side of the world because, at the end of the day, people are inherently good.

Wed, 11 Jan 2023 16:00:15 -0000

Rick Sanchez and show producer Jerry Benavides discuss the process of getting yourself properly motivated to successfully initiate and complete the important projects in your life. The key to getting yourself going is to not overthink it and not make things bigger in your head than they really are. The biggest detriment to achieving goals is “paralysis by analysis.” Sanchez identifies a series of easy steps that can help get you going which include; removing negative triggers like social media that might distract you, creating aspirational reminders for yourself, taking time to step outside to reset, and forgiving yourself if you have setbacks along the way. Every journey begins with one small step, but that first step can sometimes be the hardest one to take.

We revisit a conversation that Rick Sanchez had with his old friend, comedian Carlos Mencía, where they covered a variety of Latino Truths and topics. From the negative stereotypes in Hollywood to being excluded from the national conversation, and even to the lack of Latino Superheroes. Mencía was very forthcoming and honest about the joke-stealing scandal that rocked, and almost ended his career 16 years ago and how he struggled and fought to overcome it. Sanchez and Mencía concluded that outliers like them always seem to land on their feet after setbacks like this because it is a part of their DNA to have to fight and work hard for everything they have.

Rick Sanchez welcomes show producer Scotty Mednick to discuss the ongoing scandal surrounding newly elected Republican Congressman George Santos who has been caught telling multiple lies about his personal and professional history. Santos misrepresented his work experiences, education, religious faith, family history, and even the events surrounding his mother’s death. Sanchez concludes that while it is true that all humans are imperfect, and everyone has told lies in the past, it all comes down to following the basic principles of life. Honesty, fairness, leadership, integrity, compassion, responsibility, and loyalty. All of them are fundamental virtues that Congressman Santos seems to lack.

#85 How to protect yourself from Bias and Bad Information.

Wed, 04 Jan 2023 15:53:18 -0000

Rick Sanchez welcomes show producer Scotty Mednick to discuss the recent tragic event that occurred on live television last Monday night when Buffalo Bills football player Damar Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest during a game. Sanchez dissects the ESPN coverage of the event and questions why it took them so long to report the facts. He points to the multi-million-dollar deal that they recently signed with the NFL and the fact that they were protecting the interests of the NFL, first and worried about reporting the facts second. When companies protect their interests, they leave a void and opportunity for misinformation and speculation which is more dangerous than anything else.

#84 How to Control Your Anger.

Mon, 02 Jan 2023 13:55:37 -0000

Rick Sanchez discusses the importance of controlling your flash anger and shares his secrets for maintaining your composure in 2023. It’s normal to lose your temper every once in a while, but it’s crucial to maintain your composure before saying or doing things that you might regret later. It’s a process of de-escalating the situation before it gets out of hand when you are having a disagreement with your spouse, family member, or friend. Think before you speak and take ten minutes and do something else for a while. After you’ve cooled off, express your concerns in a calm manner. Choose your personal pronouns and express how you feel instead of telling them what they did wrong. Don’t hold a grudge after the discussion is over and if you find yourself still upset afterward, seek help. It’s ok to find someone else to talk to about how you feel so you can get past it. Breathing exercises, meditation, and exercise are all proven techniques that can help you maintain your composure in the new year.

#83 How to Make Your New Year’s Resolution Stick.

Sat, 31 Dec 2022 00:04:00 -0000

Rick Sanchez welcomes Dr. Darcy Sterling, a licensed clinical social worker to discuss different techniques that we can use to make sure that we stick to our New Year’s Resolutions. Resolutions fail sometimes because they are based on other people’s wants instead of our own. Resolutions must come from within us, and they must be goals that we have set for ourselves in order to improve. They cannot be too vague, they must be realistic, and we must have an accurate perspective of ourselves and be clear about what is feasible. People have only so much discipline and we must work within the parameters of our own willpower. Sanchez confirms that personal goals are only as good as the reasons for wanting them and that if we do not set deadlines, then the goals simply become dreams and wishes.

#82 How to Build Your Value: The Dos and Don’ts.

Wed, 28 Dec 2022 19:10:57 -0000

Rick Sanchez discusses the importance of building and strengthening your value when striving to achieve personal and professional success. The first step is not being afraid to fail. You learn more from your failures than from your successes. You must also understand the contrast between who you are now and whom you want to be in the future. Effective communication skills are also very important. Always try to be as concrete as possible when communicating. Come down the ladder of abstraction and simplify your language. Big words don’t impress people, big ideas and the ability to communicate them do. Sanchez concludes that the keys to building your value come from three areas. Your Brain, your heart, and your gut. Because you have to know it, believe it, and feel it.

Rick Sanchez welcomes show producer Scotty Mednick and they break down the steps to making yourself happy by focusing on you first.

These are the secrets to success that will allow you to concentrate on you and not conform to the crowd.

We revisit a conversation that Rick Sanchez had with Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Josh Klapow where they discussed the impact that talking politics during family gatherings can have during the holidays. It used to be that no one spoke about religion or politics at the dinner table, but times have changed. Klapow agreed that we are all allowed to be passionate about our political views but we must be able to police ourselves and not let it become an issue that could disrupt or ruin a family gathering. Sanchez concluded that successful people are the ones who can sit in discomfort without escalating the situation when someone begins saying inappropriate things. At the end of the day, it’s about love and forgiveness. And isn’t that what the holiday season is all about?

Wed, 21 Dec 2022 14:28:32 -0000

Rick Sanchez welcomes author/motivational speaker Josh Linkner to discuss the dos and don’ts of creating and operating a new business. The secret is to innovate every day and never allow fear to block the implementation of new ideas. The real risk is standing still and doing nothing. Linkner also explains that money should never be the goal of a new business but rather a byproduct of its ultimate success. Sanchez agrees that the traits that a CEO should have in order to achieve success include humility, kindness, compassion, coachability, and open-mindedness. But a CEO should also never be afraid to be aggressive because when patterns are broken, new worlds emerge.

Mon, 19 Dec 2022 13:53:01 -0000

Rick Sanchez is joined by educator and author, Dr. Michele Borba to discuss the negative impact that social media and digital content is having on children today. Because of technology, today’s kids are losing social skills because there is no engagement. Families used to play board games together, now everyone, including the parents, are always on their phones or tablets. Dr. Borba affirms that parents must ask themselves if they are being the models that they want their kids to follow. Parents must fix their own behavior first and then the kids will follow. Sanchez agrees that social skills and resiliency are teachable traits, but only through example.

#77 Feeling Insane? It’s Not You. Here’s How to “Un-Crazy.”

Fri, 16 Dec 2022 14:18:12 -0000

Rick Sanchez breaks down the major differences between the ways we used to get the news before and the insane over-the-top deluge of information and opinions that we are bombarded with in today’s toxic news environment. Back in the day, Americans would get their news for only 30 minutes a day or they would simply read a newspaper at their leisure. Today, the 24-hour news cycle combined with social media does nothing but incite people and add fuel to the fire. It’s not the message, but rather the messaging that has everybody feeling a little insane these days. Sanchez affirms that we need to stay focused on our values, not sweat the small stuff, and learn to filter out the minutia.

Rick Sanchez welcomes Chris Rice, content creator and host of The Rice Crypto Show to discuss the collapse of the cryptocurrency exchange, FTX, and the arrest of its founder and CEO Sam Bankman-Fried. Rice explains that initially, FTX was set up as a legitimate Crypto exchange platform where customers could store and trade their cryptocurrency, but it soon degenerated into a type of hedge fund whose money was being used to buy political influence and some say, was even laundering money for Ukraine. Sanchez concludes that the FTX collapse is a representation of everything that is wrong with corporate America today; Bribery, corruption, and illegal profiteering.

#75 What You Can Do to Bridge America’s Divide.

Mon, 12 Dec 2022 16:50:48 -0000

Rick Sanchez welcomes show producer Scotty Mednick and Dr. Jay Van Bavel, professor of psychology and neural sciences to discuss the importance of free thinking and opinions in today’s divided political environment. Dr. Van Bavel attests that many of today’s failed corporations followed a cult mentality where there was a singular voice and opinion that made all the decisions from the top. The companies that succeed are the ones that allow for different opinions and ideas from all levels, and that is the same ideology that we should follow in our everyday lives. Sanchez concludes that the keys to lessening the political divide in America include finding common ground, bridging the animosity, remembering that we all share a common goal, and recognizing the importance of humanity.

Rick Sanchez welcomes show producer Scotty Mednick to discuss the dangers of group thinking and the importance of self-awareness and accountability. They agree that it’s ok to take a position and be passionate about it as long as you are clearly aware of your own values and don’t get trapped into group thinking. Don’t buy into other people’s baggage or biases, concentrate on your own situation and the issues that matter most to you. Sanchez concludes that the secrets to being more self-aware are finding out who you are before joining a group, allowing yourself to evolve, don’t live in the past, and being accountable. Having a mob mentality is dangerous because it can lead to poor decisions and regrettable actions.

We are overloaded with so many content options on a daily basis, whether it be on television, social media, online, or other digital platforms that they are difficult to refuse. Sanchez affirms that the key is knowing how to discipline yourself to be judicious about what and how much of this content you are going to consume daily. The price you pay could be costly in terms of family time and career opportunities. It’s all about coming up with a personal philosophy and an attitude to follow so you don’t get sucked into wasting multiple hours staring at a TV screen or mobile device when you could be achieving important personal or professional milestones. Don’t let technology get the best of you, instead strive every day to become wiser. Wisdom is its own reward.

#70 How to Put Love Before Hate and Succeed Without Anger.

Wed, 30 Nov 2022 13:54:09 -0000

Rick Sanchez discusses the hate culture that has currently become the norm in this country and how it can affect us in our personal and professional lives. Sanchez states that we are more fulfilled by what we hate than by what we love. Hate is addictive because we have so much access to it through social media and what we see on television. Forgiveness takes hard work and is not nearly as enjoyable because it’s a lot easier to criticize than to find solutions to problems or differences. Sanchez concludes that it is impossible for us to grow as human beings when we are consumed by hate. By eliminating hate, we will be happier, healthier, more successful, and more fulfilled.

Everyone agrees that the only things that you can control in the business world are how hard you work, how disciplined you are, and how persistent you are in going after your goals.

Mon, 21 Nov 2022 15:26:00 -0000

Rick Sanchez welcomes show producer Scotty Mednick to discuss the secrets of getting ahead in business and your career. One of those secrets is not being afraid of breaking the rules. If you are not the boss or the head of your own company then you need to work harder and longer to get noticed. Embrace your status as an outlier and don’t allow it to become a deterrent to achieving your goal. Sometimes you have to break the rules to get ahead, but you must first make sure you know the rules before you break them. Sanchez concludes that there is no instruction manual for this and it’s ok to be the first one to do it. It gets uncomfortable when you break the rules and you will be criticized. Hold your ground, stay the course, and don’t be afraid. The results will speak for themselves.

Sanchez talks about the early stages of his career as a journalist when he had to do an honest and accurate assessment of his skillset so he would know what to improve on in order to succeed. Dr. Rozen agrees that the mind is preconditioned to focus on the negatives. We should not waste valuable time on that and instead focus on finding solutions for our shortcomings. They conclude that the fear of success is greater than the fear of failure. Sometimes people fear success because they fear change. The key to success is not being afraid of getting out of your comfort zone.

Rick Sanchez welcomes show producer Scotty Mednick to discuss the surprising results of the midterm elections. Sanchez points out that it used to be the Left Wing that was always protesting and demonstrating their frustration with the establishment, and now it is the complete opposite. Because while the GOP stands for positive things like fiscal responsibility and morality, it is the extremists from within the party that are tarnishing the message. These midterm election results have defied history and Sanchez declares that all of the attention that Trump generates has begun to backfire. It has gotten to the point that neither party truly understands its own message anymore.

Sanchez affirms from personal experience that everyone has the power to overcome the fear of bad results and only then will you find the fortitude to change that fear into positive determination.

You must use the tools that you developed in order to succeed in your previous job and then refine and expand them in order to find the newer, better version of yourself. From adversity comes clarity, determination, and focus. Sanchez agrees that you must identify the true value in your life and then fight like hell for it. You must find your “why” and then use it to motivate you to keep pushing forward until you achieve success.

Rick Sanchez welcomes activist Samantha Barrios to discuss the home invasion and brutal attack suffered by Paul Pelosi, husband of current Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.

We are losing empathy and becoming radicalized as a country.

#59 Fact Check: Are Latino Immigrants Bringing in Fentanyl?

Wed, 02 Nov 2022 13:59:10 -0000

Rick Sanchez welcomes show producer Scotty Mednick and journalist-podcaster Mike Leon to the show to discuss recent statements made by Arizona gubernatorial candidate Kari Lake when she claimed that Latino immigrants were mostly to blame for the fentanyl crisis in the US. Sanchez fact-checks those statements and reveals that 86 percent of the people arrested for fentanyl drug trafficking are US citizens. In fact, only .002 percent of Latino immigrants are caught with Fentanyl and 90 percent of the fentanyl seizures are made at legal border crossings from Americans. Sanchez, Mednick, and Leon conclude that we should concentrate on the source of the problem and stop blaming immigrants. The fentanyl problem in this country has nothing to do with them.

Tue, 01 Nov 2022 15:36:38 -0000

Rick Sanchez welcomes Podcast host Mario Gongora and they discuss the differences between Halloween and the Latin American version of the holiday called “El Dia de Los Muertos.” Sanchez and Gongora explain that while the American version of the holiday was spawned from a tradition that came over in the 1800s with the Irish immigrants of playing tricks or pranks on your neighbors on October 31st, the Latino version takes place on November 1st and 2nd, and it involves dressing up as skeletons and building altars to honor and pay respect to loved ones who have passed away. Gongora then presents a special, exclusive Halloween episode of his spooky podcast, “Yes, This Happened” that you will only experience here on Rick Sanchez News.

Rick Sanchez welcomes trial attorney Peter Tragos to discuss the Darrell Brooks trial, the man recently accused of intentional homicide after driving his vehicle full speed into a crowd of people in Wisconsin last year. Brooks chose to defend himself and the trial quickly spiraled into a series of absurd and bizarre moments. Sanchez and Tragos question whether Brooks was intentionally trying to derail the proceedings with his antics to get a mistrial or if he was as unhinged as he appeared to be. They both agree that Judge Jennifer Dorow did a great job of being patient and never losing her cool with Brooks so that the case could go to the jury for deliberation. In the end, Brooks was found guilty of 76 criminal counts of intentional homicide.

Sanchez and Mednick focus on a recent interview that West did with Tucker Carlson.

Sanchez shares the controversial clips that Fox did not air and questions whether this is simply a ploy by the musical artist in order to get publicity, or if it is a sign of something deeper concerning his mental health.

#55 “No Mexicans or Dogs Allowed.” The Untold History of US Latinos.

Mon, 24 Oct 2022 14:30:17 -0000

Rick Sanchez welcomes Emmy-nominated filmmaker Carlos Sandoval to discuss his documentary “A Class Apart” which exposes the brutal and shameful treatment of US Latinos during the 1950s. Sanchez and Sandoval focus on the 1954 case of Hernandez vs Texas which went all the way to the US Supreme Court in which it was ruled that Mexican Americans would now be allowed to participate as jurors, especially in cases that involved other Latinos. Sandoval explains that in the 50s Latinos were considered white Americans but were treated with the same hatred and racism as the African Americans of that time period. Segregated bathrooms and eating establishments, insults, hate crimes, and unfair treatment in the workplace. It’s an ugly part of America’s history that is not in the history books but that everyone should know about.

#54 LA Scandal Shows Why Latinos Should Question Before Reacting.

Fri, 21 Oct 2022 14:57:03 -0000

Rick Sanchez welcomes Dr. Karina Moreno (PHD) professor of Urban Policy and Planning to further discuss the ever-evolving scandal in LA involving former City Council President Nury Martinez. Sanchez and Moreno agree that while her choice of words was offensive and disrespectful, we must remember that this conversation was secretly recorded and that most people speak negatively about others from time to time when they think no one is listening. While they are both very surprised that this became a national story, Sanchez concludes that when LA’s woke democratic community does something like this, it shows how little they know us. They should have let this situation play itself out and let the public vote her out of office instead of forcing her to resign.

#53 LA Latinos Now Even More Powerless.

Wed, 19 Oct 2022 11:00:00 -0000

Rick Sanchez doubles down on his opinion concerning the Nury Martinez scandal in Los Angeles. The ex-City Council President was secretly recorded saying some incendiary things in a private conversation about one of her colleague’s children last week and was forced to resign. Sanchez digs deeper into the situation and argues that the LA Times is mostly to blame for sensationalizing the story for their benefit. Show producer Scotty Mednick joins the conversation and they discuss the fact that the LA City Council is now forcing the other 2 Latinos present in the conversation to resign as well, leaving LA with zero Latino representation in their city council. Sanchez and Mednick contend that there are many nuances to the Spanish language, and when taken out of context may appear to be blatantly racist when in reality they are not. Sanchez concludes that as a Latino, all he asks for is fairness, truth, and proper context in journalism.

Rick Sanchez welcomes Correctional professionals Antony Gangi and Connie Alleyne to discuss the current state of Prisons in the United States. Gangi and Alleyne contend that while the common misconception is that modern prisons are horrendous places that offer neither rehabilitation nor hope, they are actually full of quality reform programs with multiple success stories. While Sanchez asserts that 84 billion dollars a year is too much for this country to be spending on prisons, they all agree that a major reason for prison overpopulation is police profiling and frivolous arrests.

They tackle a variety of alarming topics like the reason that the US and former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson convinced Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to cease peace talks with Putin before the war started, the large neo-Nazi faction that exists inside of the Ukrainian military, and the fact that NATO is not really necessary anymore. Sanchez and Halper lament the poor journalism being exhibited by the mainstream media these days and yearn for the days when the media would challenge and question war efforts, instead of acting like PR firms for the State Department.

Wed, 12 Oct 2022 14:02:57 -0000

Rick Sanchez and show producer Scotty Mednick dissect the recent scandal involving Los Angeles City Council President Nury Martinez who was secretly recorded making tasteless comments about a colleague and his African American son. While they both agree that the comments were rude and showed bad form, they were not racist and Martinez should not have been forced to resign. Sanchez asks why no Latino leader came to her aid and why he’s the only one defending her. Crisis management expert Evan Nierman joins the conversation and explains that the current trend of cancel culture sweeping the country is dangerous, un-American, and destroying people’s lives. Nierman contends that we cannot allow internet mobs to become the judges, jurors, and executioners of what is right and wrong.

#49 Cop Mistakes Latino for Criminal, Shoots him 10 Times.

Tue, 11 Oct 2022 14:47:17 -0000

Rick Sanchez is joined by show producer Scotty Mednick and they discuss the recent incident in San Antonio, Texas where a police officer shot and seriously injured a 17-year-old Latino male after mistaking him for a wanted criminal. Erik Cantu was shot 10 times while sitting in his car in a McDonald’s parking lot eating hamburgers with his girlfriend. The officer did not identify himself as a law representative, did not follow proper police procedure, and has since been fired by the SAPD. Sanchez then welcomes indigenous activist Christian Porrier to discuss the truth about Christopher Columbus and the atrocities that he committed against the indigenous people who inhabited the countries he discovered. History books paint him as a hero, but his actions and the reign of terror he launched across the Caribbean islands and their people make him more of a monster.

Sanchez then welcomes show producer Scotty Mednick to the show and they discuss a variety of topics including Nancy Pelosi’s recent gaff where she stated that Latino immigrants were important to this country mostly so they could work on farms picking produce, a recent poll that showed the latest Latino trends in politics, and a new clip making the rounds that shows President Biden in Puerto Rico apparently claiming to be Puerto Rican, himself. But upon further review, the clip was taken completely out of context and is just another example of the shoddy state of journalism that we have in this country today.

Rick Sanchez and show producer Scotty Mednick discuss a recent story reported on Fox News saying that the majority of the Venezuelan immigrants coming into the US are violent criminals that were taken out of prisons and sent to Texas and Florida by the Venezuelan government.

Sanchez then welcomes Venezuelan journalists Ana Flores and Luis Sucre to the show and they reveal that direct flights to the US from Venezuela don’t exist and that the actual journey that these immigrants must endure is long, arduous, and very dangerous.

Mon, 03 Oct 2022 14:07:31 -0000

Rick Sanchez welcomes show producer Scotty Mednick and they discuss the current lawsuit being levied against former President Trump by the state of New York and the dreadful way that it was covered by Fox News. News anchor Harris Faulkner treated the story as a political ploy by the left wing and buried the story in order to cover for Trump and make excuses. They agree that if this lawsuit was being brought against Hilary Clinton, Fox News would be treating the story very differently. Sanchez and Mednick then switch gears and talk about Jenna Ryan, a January 6th insurrectionist who boasted on social media that she would not go to jail simply because she was a white woman with blonde hair and blue eyes. They concur that it says a lot about the sense of entitlement that most of the capitol rioters felt on that fateful day.

Rick Sanchez welcomes back Dr. Chris Nowinski, a neuroscientist specializing in concussions and head trauma, in this special bonus episode of Rick Sanchez News after the devastating injury suffered by Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa Thursday night. Dr. Nowinski was a guest on the previous episode recorded just hours before the game and proclaimed unequivocally that Tagovailoa should not play in the game because he had obviously suffered a concussion during a game just 4 days earlier. Sanchez asks all the important questions: Why did the NFL allow him to play? Why did the Miami Dolphins organization not classify the first injury as a concussion? Who will be held accountable for this? And why did no one in the media take a stand and report the obvious to help protect this young man?

Sadly, Doctor Nowinski’s prediction of a tragic re-injury came true.

Sanchez and Trujillo state the facts about the 5th largest GDP in the world, like the fact that they were on the front lines during the COVID pandemic and are the largest represented group that we have in the US military today. Latinos in the US represent an economic force that any corporation would be remiss in ignoring and should be cultivated and allowed to grow even more. Latinos are the last cohort that still believes in the American dream and they should be allowed the opportunity to achieve it.

#27 How Alex Jones Turned Journalism Into a Joke

Thu, 18 Aug 2022 07:00:00 -0000

The Alex Jones trial revealed a lot about the dreadful state of journalism that we have today. Jones was recently sued for 45.2 million dollars by the parents of victims of the Sandy Hook mass shooting that occurred in 2012. Jones claimed repeatedly on his show that the deadly school shooting that took the lives of 28 children and teachers was all an elaborate hoax and that it never happened. During the trial, when Jones and his producers were under oath, they admitted that they did zero fact-checking, zero research, and did not vet any of the information that was put in front of them. Rick Sanchez goes off on the state of journalism in this country and insists that the majority of the people reporting the news today are not real journalists. Sanchez points to another bogus story that appeared on Fox News recently where a fake photo of Bruce Reinhart, the judge who approved the search warrant of former President Trump's home in Mar-a-Lago, was presented and reported as being authentic. The fake photo depicted Judge Reinhold in a very compromising position, and when the photo was proven to be fabricated, the Fox "Journalist" who reported it took to Twitter and stated that he was only joking. Sanchez insists that audiences need to stop listening to these non-journalists and make sure that what they are hearing is true.

#26 What Bill Maher Doesn't Get About Latinos

Wed, 17 Aug 2022 07:00:00 -0000

On a recent episode of his television show, Bill Maher weighed in on the James Franco-John Leguizamo controversy. Maher contended that Leguizamo should not be complaining about a non-Latino playing Castro because Leguizamo has played other ethnicities in movies in the past. Rick Sanchez fires back saying that Maher is completely missing the point, is oversimplifying the problem, and deceiving his audience just to get laughs. Latinos aren't upset because a non-Latino is playing a Latino role; Latinos are upset because they continue to be represented in negative, stereotypical ways on screen and then the moment a plumb role like this comes around, it goes to a non-Latino. Sanchez is joined by show producer Scotty Mednick and independent filmmaker Edwin Pagan as they break down the problem of Latino type-casting in Hollywood. They conclude that Latinos aren't insisting that they get all the top roles in movies, but rather that the power players in Hollywood need to be open to new ideas and begin casting Latinos in other types of roles besides criminals, gardeners, and, maids. It's not about owning, it's about sharing.

Arizona State Representative Rusty Bowers was recently attacked by Donald Trump during a speech the former President was giving at a rally. Trump called him a RINO (Republican In Name Only) and a coward for his refusal to overturn the 2020 presidential election results in Arizona. Bowers, who also serves as Speaker of the Arizona House of Representatives and is a life-long Republican, fired back during an interview and said that there was absolutely no proof of any kind of tampering or election fraud found in the state of Arizona. Bowers went on to say that Trump has no clue what the average American goes through every day in order to make ends meet and has no idea what real courage is. Rick Sanchez is joined by Podcaster and life coach Pam Covarrubias as they discuss different ways to not allow outside negative influences to affect your day-to-day attitudes and performance. Sanchez and Covarrubias agree that it is always good to stand up and defend yourself against bullies who try to disparage or denounce you. Even if the bully in question happens to be a former President of the United States. Score one for the "little guy."

#23 Latinos are Red Hot Over Casting of James Franco as Fidel Castro

Mon, 08 Aug 2022 23:11:00 -0000

Fidel Castro may have died almost six years ago, but he is still casting a large shadow over the Latino community in the United States. Why? Because his estranged daughter Alina has a movie coming out. “Alina of Cuba,” could be a Hollywood blockbuster that is already garnering tons of attention because of the Castro name. James Franco, presently involved in his own sexual controversy, is now the target of Latinos who are angry that he has been cast as Fidel. Why is actor and activist John Leguizamo and so many other Latinos outraged? This podcast answers the questions revealing yet another Latino truth about Hollywood.

#22 Latino Bashing Cable Channel OAN Dropped by Verizon

Thu, 04 Aug 2022 23:40:43 -0000

Ultra-conservative, and controversial cable news channel OAN is asking liberals for help. It seems that Verizon has decided to drop them from their platform and they don't think it's fair. Rick Sanchez calls out one of OAN's anchors, Alison Steinberg for having the audacity to ask the American public for help after everything that she has done to promote hate and divisiveness in the past. She has gone after Latinos, the LGBTQ community, President Biden, and even the Pope! Sanchez concludes that Steinberg is nothing more than a "Karen" that has made it to the big time and found a job as a news anchor. Sanchez also informs us that recent polls reveal that more Americans are voting Democrat than Republican. The reason? Donald Trump. Republicans fear that if Trump runs for President in 2024, it will rile up Democrats and drive them to the polls in large numbers. Ironically, it appears that Trump has become the best tool in the democrat's tool shed.

#21 The Latino Truth About Matt Gaetz is Ugly | Rick Sanchez Latino News Podcast

Wed, 03 Aug 2022 13:47:34 -0000

Matt Gaetz is at it again. While speaking at a Conservative Conference in Tampa, the controversial Florida Congressman described women who are pro-choice advocates as fat, ugly and odious. He went on to ask the crowd: "Why is it that the women that are the least likely to get pregnant are the ones most worried about getting abortions? Nobody wants to impregnate you if you look like a thumb." And when given the opportunity to explain himself afterwards, Gaetz doubled down on his comments and made it clear that he didn't care if women were offended by what he said.

#20 Stereotyping Latinos, the “Guillermo Effect” | Rick Sanchez Political Podcast

Fri, 29 Jul 2022 13:12:02 -0000

For years, the media and Hollywood have stereotyped minorities in America, but when it comes to Latinos, the offenses seem to have gotten worse. There is no better example than Guillermo, who is cast as the likable buffoon on the Jimmy Kimmel Live Show on ABC, and is the nightly butt of jokes on the program directed at him. Guillermo is not an actor or a comedian, he plays himself, a Mexican immigrant. He’s not the only Hollywood stereotype of Latinos. Sanchez, whose name was used in the Rick and Morty Cartoon, takes us through the “hot, but dumb” Latina, the “criminal” and the “Guillermo” character. Among those are Sofia Vergara who was cast as Gloria on Modern Family, Tattoo on Fantasy Island, Chuy from Chelsea Lately, Pedro from Napoleon Dynamite, Tuco from Breaking Bad and even back to the Lone Ranger whose sidekick was named Tonto, which means dumbass.

#19 Who is America’s Latino Leader?

Mon, 25 Jul 2022 21:24:03 -0000

While most groups in the US have a person, people or an organization that represents them and defends them, there is no such thing for Latinos. There is no Al Sharpton, no Ellen DeGeneres, no Sean Hannity or Tucker Carlson. What there is-- is a leadership vacuum that no one has filled. Notable possibilities are AOC, Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio, but none fit the bill for reasons explained and understood by most Latinos. Sadly, the closest thing to a national Latino symbol or dare we say leader is Dora the Explorer. Why is that? And why is it that since Cesar Chavez, Latinos have remained and still are leaderless. Rick Sanchez explains.

#18 Dear So Called Latino Experts, “Shut the F—k Up!”

Wed, 20 Jul 2022 02:11:00 -0000

Few things are more troubling to Latinos than hearing non-Latinos tell them who they are and what they are like. Unfortunately, because Latinos are so poorly represented in the national conversation that takes place in the US media and in cable news, there are few Latinos in a place to be able to refute anything that is said about them. The most trendy adage about Latinos these days seems to be that they are all different. It is usually phrased as such: “Latinos are not monolithic.” Is that even true? Rick Sanchez is joined by comedian Monique Marvez as they reveal the facts about Latinos, which happen to be very different from what we hear. For example, Latinos are both culturally and politically much more alike than they are different.

#17 Why Latinos See Trump's 'Coup' as Very American.

Thu, 14 Jul 2022 12:38:00 -0000

The January 6 hearings are shocking for Americans who have never dealt with the realities of a para-military-styled coup. However, others see the insurgency as a typical power grab they often have witnessed in their own countries in places like Latin America. University of Chicago professor William Howell joins Rick Sanchez to discuss how Trump orchestrated exactly what the CIA and the US state department have regularly attempted in Latin America when they did not like the outcome of an election. Rick also analyses Steve Bannon's vicious attack on podcaster Joe Rogan, John Bolton, and Mike Pompeo admitting that the US lies, cheats, steals, and initiates coups, Pete Buttigieg's fearless response regarding the Supreme Court Justice Kavanaugh protest in a question from Fox News and Moderna CEO's take of almost one billion dollars from public money for the Covid Vaccine.

#16 Tommy Chong Blasts Fox News for Blaming Weed for Shootings

Wed, 13 Jul 2022 22:48:00 -0000

Fox News's Laura Ingraham has been on a rampage with assertions that young people smoking marijuana is the reason for America's mass shooting problems. Rick breaks down the numbers that show that countries like the Netherlands, which have legalized soft drugs like marijuana actually have the lowest gun violence rate in the world, while the US where marijuana use is still illegal in some states, the gun violence rate is sky-high. Tommy Chong of Cheech and Chong fame, criticizes Fox for being dishonest and taking advantage of people's ignorance and fears. Chong also reacts to Jill ,

#15 Trump’s New Problem. Pence, Cheney for President. Media Loves War Hawks.

Fri, 08 Jul 2022 22:01:00 -0000

The Inspector general’s office is looking into whether the IRS targeted former FBI Director James Comey and Andrew McCabe as a form or political revenge under the direction of former president Donald Trump. Trump had attempted to cajole both men to get them to agree to drop their investigation of him, but when they refused, Trump fired them. Both men seemed to embarrass the president when they reported their meetings with him to the press. Soon after, they were notified that the IRS was auditing their taxes. Harvard Law Professor Lawrence Tribe says ‘political targeting is a serious federal crime.”

The January 6th hearing and possible charges are distancing GOP donors further from Trump 2024. Meanwhile recent articles, including one by the St. Louis Post-Dispatch’s Lynn Schmidt suggests only former Vice President Mike Pence and Wyoming Rep. Liz Cheney can save the Republican Party by running as president and vice president, respectively. But will the Trump wing of the GOP ever follow suit? Rick points out a bigger problem for Cheney is that she’s a war hawk who will be inescapably tied to the disastrous war in Iraq that her father executed and profited from as both a VP and through his ties as a war profiteer with Halliburton. That could give Trump and the Democrats a talking point he will no doubt cash in.

#14 “The US Pushed Putin to Invade Ukraine, Now Working on China,” says historian.

Fri, 08 Jul 2022 01:36:00 -0000

Glad you're here to listen to Rick's take on the latest hot political news! Don't miss an episode - at the bottom of this page you can find all the ways to discover more Rick Sanchez political news and commentary!

Weapons makers and arms dealers like Raytheon and Lockheed Martin are making sure that when you turn on the news you hear that Ukraine needs our guns and bombs to use against Russia. How are they doing that? Through media lies. They are funding the pundits who appear on TV news channels posing as unbiased experts. These pundits or talking heads are not unbiased and as you will see in this report, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC, CBS and others do not clarify their deliberate conflict of interest. Leon Panetta, David Petraeus, Jeh Johnson appear repeatedly on cable and network news without anyone knowing that they are paid by military contractors. Peter Kuznick, Professor of History at American University joins Rick to explain how most Americans are being fooled into supporting endless and unnecessary wars and how we may have encouraged Putin to invade Ukraine. Rick shares how Latinos are more apt to figure out this military industrial complex corruption that Eisenhower warned us about, because of their experiences in South and Central America.

Cassidy Hutchinson testified to the committee investigating the jan 6 attack that she heard Former President Donald Trump strike secret service agent Robert Engel.

#10 Latinos create new businesses and hire at a faster rate than all Americans. | Latino News Podcast

Sat, 18 Jun 2022 01:53:00 -0000

Trump is not a self-made business person, neither is Elon Musk. In fact, many business people succeed only because they have more access to capital than the rest of us. There is a way though, to beat those odds and according to the most recent studies by the Stanford University on Entrepreneurship, Latinos are doing just that. Latinos are creating businesses at a faster rate and hiring workers at a faster rate than all other Americans. How are they doing that while continually receiving the scorn of the political and news media leaders? Beatriz Acevedo takes you through this phenomenon. She is the co-founder and CEO of Suma Wealth, a company that helps startup businesses raise capital.

#9 Here's How to Fix the Supply Chain and Avert a Recession | Current Political News

Thu, 16 Jun 2022 01:31:00 -0000

Employers cannot find workers. The supply chain seems permanently disrupted. Inflation is causing the Federal Reserve to raise rates so fast it is bound to affect both Wall Street and Main Street. But it does not have to be that way—not when America has a ready, willing and proven workforce that can reverse almost all of our economic woes.

America’s Latino workforce saved towns like Dalton, Georgia and restored the nation’s manufacturing prestige. Now it is time to show once again why American Latinos, according to the Stanford study on Entrepreneurship, start new businesses and hire workers at a faster rate than all other groups. So, why do we want to stop them from doing so?

Our latest political podcast deals with these topics and why American Latinos could be a salvation of our current economic climate.

#8 Myths and Lies about Latinos in America | Political News Commentary.

Fri, 10 Jun 2022 22:14:00 -0000

Latinos in America are blamed for not paying taxes, for voting illegally, for crime, for rape, for not assimilating, for not speaking English, and for a host of other conveniently unchallenged myths. Those myths serve to guarantee certain right-wing media outlets, radio shows, and politicians a large audience of uninformed followers. That is why Fox News primetime, OAN, Newsmax, and the Ben Shapiro and Alex Jones political podcasts exist. But what happens when we apply facts and research to those convenient myths? The CATO Institute did just that by taking each myth and putting it to the test. Alex Nowrasteh explains what they found—is it true or not true?

#7 Children Killed. Trump Dances. NRA Gives and Ted Cruz Takes.

Thu, 02 Jun 2022 00:03:00 -0000

Uvalde Texas police failed to take on the gunman, while Senator Ted Cruz, who gets more money from the gun lobby than all Senators, insists all we need is ”more police.” At the same time, Donald Trump appeared at the NRA convention and danced on stage, which is just the latest in offensive displays aimed at Latinos by the former president. In 2017, after Hurricane Maria, Mr. Trump practiced his basketball skills with paper towels as he threw them at Puerto Rican victims. And Trump announced his candidacy with “they’re bringing drugs, they’re bringing crime, they’re rapists” when referring to Latinos who cross the border. Will there be a Latino or media backlash?

#1 CNN has a Latino Problem

Mon, 16 May 2022 17:53:00 -0000

In what will go down as a historic business failure, CNN recently blundered in attempting to launch its streaming media product CNN+, but it’s not what you think it is. Media reports reported it superficially as an example of bad talent, content, and messaging. But to millions of Americans, CNN’s misstep was much more glaring—even stupid. It failed to target or even mention Latinos in its network rollout. Why is that such a stupendous mistake? Math—basic math and a changing America that CNN has apparently not caught up with. There is a lesson here for all US businesses. What is it? Listen!
