The Rick Sanchez Podcast

See what Rick Sanchez has to say in his latest podcast about the riveting Cassidy Hutchinson testimony! Keep checking back for Rick's insightful Hispanic political news!

Cassidy Hutchinson testified to the committee investigating the jan 6 attack that she heard Former President Donald Trump strike secret service agent Robert Engel. She says the former president of the United States grabbed him around the area of the neck and shoulders, because he would not agree to take him to the capital to join protestors that president Trump knew were armed. In fact, the former president removed the metal detectors, according to Hutchinson, because he was confident the rioters would not attack him. Will agent Engel testify against Trump and corroborate Hutchinson’s testimony?

Is there Precedent for an agent being forced to testify against the President? Yes, and it comes from the Bill Clinton/Monica Lewinsky affair. Former prosecutor Ajay Pallegar and producer Scotty Mednick join Rick to discuss how this might or might not affect Trump legally and/or politically.

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.

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.

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?

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?

Notice how the reporting on Ukraine has been so over bearing on caring. Do people suffering in other countries matter less than those in Ukraine? The media seems to think that lives in Ukraine seem to matter more.
