Working at RT was almost nirvana for me – Rick Sanchez to Tucker Carlson

American news personality and former RT host Rick Sanchez has been interviewed by Tucker Carlson. Released on Monday, the interview touches on Sanchez’s experience with the Russian broadcaster RT and how the administration of former President Joe Biden forced him to stop working with it.

Sanchez had worked with RT since 2019 but was ultimately forced to cut ties with the broadcaster last September. The ex-host revealed that his departure was preceded by an “interesting” phone call from an “old friend who used to work with me in mainstream news.”

“He was a manager at CNN, as a matter of fact,” Sanchez told Carlson. “He says, just calling to let you know that I’m now working somewhere else. I’m no longer in the news.”

His acquaintance revealed that “a lot of people” at his new workplace had taken an interest in his RT show and “don’t necessarily like some of the things that you’re saying.” The “old friend” did not specify where exactly he now worked but implied it was a government agency – “kind of” State Department – Sanchez recounted.
