in russia, but then i came and then i was like, i remember when i go home, that's how i felt about rush. i love it. i love it so much here that i don't even want to leave. i just want to travel around rush. i have no desire to go to any other country. the i've never been here. the i've only lived here a few months, but i wanted to tell you what fascinates me about russia and share the stories of other foreigners who lived here. like jay who worked as a chef and now raises godes and makes cheese in the countryside. like chad who has been granted political asylum because he's being persecuted by the f b. i like an american family. that recently moved to russia with 6 children. the

year we are happy to be here. this is my friend joe. a few months ago he immigrated to russia with his large family. now i'm on the way to visit him. i want to find out why he decided to move here and how he likes it in russia. to doing very good job was an i t program manager. he worked in many large companies including microsoft, but he gave up everything and moved to russia with his wife and 6 children. and now they are about to have a 7. so apparently they had a very good reason to relocate. did he talk you into russia? no, i think to be honest, we 1st rich the same conclusion. some states have had issues where they've come in and they've removed the child from here because they're claiming the time was being

abused by not being able to think it was at is 6 states in less than 6 months past these laws that even a 5 year old kid can be taken away from their parents and take them to the hospital and shop a lot. yeah. that's just the reality we've uh and people ask us okay, well, i mean like, is it ramp and is it happening to like everybody? have you been threatened with that? no, i'm not an idiot. don't wait around for this stuff to continue to progress because that's what's been going on for the last several decades. a lot of people with traditional values wouldn't take the agenda, right? they wouldn't take the a slash, a lot of traditional teachers, anywhere they flashing traditional switches out of the system that's filling it up with cookies. and these people likes child stressed out that being bullied. so they send them home with where maybe you're upset cuz you're actually the rooms and just like maybe you're actually just helping people going on here. and they actually condition is chosen to do that. and so it's,

it's going on. and the amount of schools that have had secret classes one recently where they were having classes after school every day for a year. and they were actually, they weren't doing art at all. oh, actually transgender classes. and this is the, the art classes with our whole you, these parents to the children were attending on cost. literally this complete in version. we're perfectly fine shaming you. if you're a straight white male, you have a lot of kids, people to walk up to my wife, make rude comments, are available, say the materials and weirdest things. if you take care, you know, nobody could criticize her for women coming out to me. children who are behavior is what she says, are you out of you online and she starts playing into me. everybody's terrified. there is no freedom of speech in america anymore. yes, there's nothing really mean about that. would you be the organization or anything like that? oh, you'll be black, docks for life. people had to down no joke. i took

a picture of christmas day because we had a boys had. this is like the most traditional in the angle world. both the boys had and then there i be decked with bays in rosemary and somebody tag this animal rights activist group. put out my name where i worked, who the phone numbers to like, oh my complaint was credited for eating a pigs. had brought it here in russia, you can say what you think were out loud. and here's the most relieving thing in the world. you actually are like me. this is actually really enjoyable. you can make jokes about this sort of stuff. nobody would you know, cancel you or try to dock to anything like that. talk about it. it was fine. whenever you're moving on the what about health care you, are you all worried about getting like the kids to a doctor or because oh okay. well, i told him, i mean,

this goes at the end of last year and i had to go get a surgery. i was just like, oh, great, awesome. so like this is over for us because i'm going to drop, you know, tens of thousands of dollars on this, which i would have definitely in the states. i have like one of the best orthopedic surgeons. like 5 star level hospital room, 1300 bucks. yeah. my says pregnancy ended up being on the case day and i think the bill was a $100000.00. we got a big discount on it because it was self pay. it was like $80000.00 and then we had the medical sharing, but still it was like intense wiley, lucel's equity russian see, are you a little russian more tables? one of his fest with the is high chance we're looking in the morning. i'd make money, he'd say t. what were your thoughts before coming to russia with a special military operation and how did you feel? were you worried that so there was going to be like more on the outskirts of moscow

or you? i never. yeah, no, i thought there was going to be a war and i didn't want to be sitting, you know, at home in the middle of kansas down the street from fort riley when the, let me just say that i feel a lot safer here. right? than i do in america, if actual world war 3 breakdown much, much better to be here, we don't have any kind of defense that could suit anything. i mean, right? something goes on over in the, in the states. it's over me. you know, i remember right before we left, we, uh, we heard reports, the russian nuclear sub just pops his head up right off the coast of dc. hey, we're right here, just so you know, don't forget that we're right here. so there's nothing that you're going to defend against. uh, this goes sideways for the whole world, the euro. russian. so you love this house. what are

the learning funny the, so we're on the way to meet somebody who is pretty famous here in russia. he's a farmer, an ex pat has been here since the 19 ninety's, so he shouldn't give us an interesting perspective on how things have changed here . one of the things he's most known for is cheats. so today, hoping that we can see some change production and get to meet some animals on his farm the so baka, excuse me, another american very idea who was come. yeah, oh no. another yankee story. we're going to go build the goals. all right,

awesome. it's hard to believe now that j was a famous shift to even go to the rolling stones. he used to run several restaurants in moscow. he was also a dare devil biker in radio host, but he gave it all a sort of submarine which he had more to in france and bought land in the countryside. then he built a house and moved here for the city. let's get rid of 2 calves, one boil in 3 years. we'll have lead milk. i agreed and there we go. 3 years later the rogue starts. and what are you going to do, which are the leaders of milk? that's how j started making cheese. and would you believe it? he became one of the most famous cheese makers in russia. although when he 1st came here, you couldn't imagine anything of the sort. i got here 93 things, shooting at the white house and it was there was little money for us was in the hospital as well and the boards and everything was really bad. you mean,

i couldn't imagine that. another country surviving. i think americans would die hungry. i didn't receive a right away. i came for 10 days and 20 days and 40 days they was 61 a senior. go go and more like home. i would start to go to other countries and i just want to get back home to russian. so it's all i say, and people, hey, if you could live in a rush, you can live anywhere in the world. it's not easy here. i mean, of course, it's hard at some of the language, some of the alphabet of the culture, samara shaped hands under a doorway, the boxes on the table. man, it's thousands of them. i don't believe in them. i think divine touch would because it's like a habit. i asked jay if he's afraid to stay in russia after all, our countries have a very troubled relationship. the us embassy regularly urges people to leave. but

this is what happened before when birth or the 16th to was problem reasonable. garcey, they're all in this case a to communist room, full draining all their games on the tv. they are the ones writing the programs, write better that there was a lot of people say to anybody you a long here was economy. anybody out a different idea was economy, news this river stuff. the russians are killed tv, maybe trump, for president or hillary, clint bailey. they linked our emails and saw the russians for how many elections and we got into right. how many sessions nations of elected officials have we actually done re weighed war against the payment? because they weren't which are regular deals, st. just the russians available. right. when really originally like the biggest

brands, i don't understand that at all. jay's business is going well and things have been going particularly well since a europe imposed sanctions banning in ports of cheese into rush and j as in suffering from the new sanctions either or so is the change if it's possible. fussing what seems to fax you weight. tabasco sauce made in the us. the sanctions are failed. ok. what's the drum? yeah, well i think the same colors. same ice cream. you know, the oil you made in the usa, even j will confirm sanctions and russia have failed. he ordered this on as on, which is why i'm always ordering things. a j had to take his car to the garage today for an oil change, and i've decided to go with them. i want to see what car service is like in the russian hinterland.

the . the, the, [000:00:00;00]

the tab here, the establishment of the bosses for his email is been in 1933. the position of the indigenous population in the portuguese colonies deteriorated dramatically. especially in angola. decatur, antonio de, i live at salazar, encouraged colonizing the end goal in lands by europeans and sought after turning the country into a portuguese province where the goldens would be 2nd class people. in 1961, there was an outbreak of violence on the part of the portuguese, in revenge for the plantation workers, dry portuguese aircraft bomb. the villages in northern angola and race riots took place in african parts of lawanda. the people of angela rose in an armed rebellion . the roots atlas he of the colonialists knew no bounds. despite the un calls to stop the violence,

warranties only intensified their terror against the rebels. the 40s actively used the political contradictions between various groups of rebels during the war colonial aircraft regularly use a fall and dropped the fully and so on peaceful villages. the boards of keys, empire was severely exhausted by the struggle against the national liberation movements. the revolution in portugal brought down, the applause is freezing and put it in to the murder as war against the people of angola. on january 15, 1975, the l bore agreements were assigned in the country, gained independence after so many years of the brutal war. oh, i sort of get sold, sold on the road. so. uh yeah,

so the notes now guys really to me right of here. yeah. the guys have to push, push. no, that should list. um we got it. you got it. all right, let's see if we can force james kara with rocket, for shit to stop. all right, looks like we're good. a look at that. a look at this beautiful villas to wow. look the key up the hill. the amazing place here, this is a beautiful village by the way. a lot of people in america think these villages are just like falling apart. so a lot of your neighbors coming, they buy choose from you. yeah. go buy chains or master class. they learn how to make cheese. oh, they come and learn how to make g for james, dropping his car off for an oil change. this is

a russian brides. look at that and really look too much different than an american garage. they find out the middle of the country. so he'll be home and we're, we're really not sure. okay. is there anything i'll go into for you. that's it. what do you pay for oil change j. and like i'm dollars 10 dollars, 10 dollars. oh. of maybe $5.00. $5.00. is it a good? let's go, the time is coming to try jay's cheese. he has a small shop and many kinds of different cheese j says there are 50 varieties in total. so it's just part of the natural process every day. turn it over the rubber down or talk to good morning to next week. this

is romano like was really good. this is this is called to tell you the garden. so dried tomatoes, bell peppers, singing metal. metal, crappy with rush. sharply. yes. i'm a sick man, but you know, don't hold it against the palm heading to the northern capital of saint petersburg, an american lives there whom the f. b i has been hunting for 18 years. he's on interpose a red list. they tried to extradite him to the united states from different countries, 4 times now lives in russia. i've been following his story for a while, and i can finally personally ask why the f b i as after him. i'm in st. petersburg rush right now. my 1st time and it's probably the coldest day since i've arrived in russia,

i am feeling it to my bones right now. the pills are due to a tough how you doing more here. so in the role of the frozen as well where you can feel anything. oh you came. i think you brought this weather with you man. yeah, i'm not good. it is so i don't know to go back and tell me a little bit about yourself. like, uh, what, what made you decide to come to russia? i received the asylum and so far as i know, the next man after snow to get it. and that's american, us embassies and 4 countries that come after me is wild. and so we have a couple of theories, the one that most people come to me 1st like, oh, there's just a bunch of bureaucratic mistakes, but there's no way they raised our house in 2002 in cyprus. they have a huge fall on my wife. they've interrogated me, they visited me and vote here in prison. personally, guy came, they tried to make deals. and also whenever can microsoft,

i cover the middle east and africa and i had several intelligence agency trying to recruit me to work for them. and when i kept saying no, they wanted to make an offer. i couldn't refuse. and they have a history that to and is approvable, know because when they try and recruiters not like they leave behind a business card to say, hey, you know, i'm from the intelligence agency, but very clearly there are 3 recruitment of drums. why is it that the f b i is looking for you on the website? they say that i legally retain my son, which is not because i had custody of my son anyways. here lived in europe the and you can prove this. yeah, i agree all there and then they said they told the newspaper, the indictment, they said that i physically kidnapped him with the problem was i was in the united states and neither was he the just 2 months prior. the same judge who set this whole thing up, put him on a plane using police to return to because he was visiting his mother for the summer in the us and she didn't want to return them. and the judge said, nope, he said the police take away, put them on a plane and then he the same judge,

basically the foundation for get up and that whole thing's been dismissed, but the feds weren't dismissed there in the and he's, he's your strongest witness in this case and he is, he's 27 now. yeah. he's done news interviews on american television saying that he was never kidnapped in his all as far as the because when the guy does the sort of things it's the only thing is ever fixed. it is massive publicity and i work the social media. sometimes it's any dance or you're gonna have to do any sort of thing. yeah, i'm a 49 year old old man, but that's awesome for me to work. right? yeah, i have a little steve to these by now and that's how it works. i had to order 2 police officers to physically movies my mother and put me on a plane back to my dad hollis. and i'm not this is actual insanity. chad sun now lives in the caribbean and he's still on the missing children's list. and chat is still on the wanted list. were you ever contracted by the government? no,

never. do you think maybe and this is just me being curious. do you think that perhaps uh, something that you may have worked on for one of these companies might be a reason for any of this. i, i never worked on anything that was secretive or anything sort of that i have built software that's been in the space station and is used by the government. right? but it is communication software. when i move to russia in early 2001, i married into a family and lived with a family who worked in a military aviation factory. and they didn't like suite before sort of thing. and it's not like they could possibly get access to military technology. they were engineers, they had a good range. so these were close family members, and we lived in the same house phone for many years. and they had basically, i guess, wouldn't america be called top secretary ok. and it became pretty evident that somebody in the american halogens agency had some kind of white dream that thought

i could somehow blackmail my family and get me information. okay. it was never going to happen. we never discuss this stuff. my family would never give me information about that. i would never ask. russian may have, and i don't have proof of this, but maybe they offer me the asylum because i believe russian was far about more case my case than i do. right. and maybe it was, i thank you for you know, hey, you had the chance to turn on us and you didn't. i don't know. do you feel safe, ever returning to the united states of america? no. and you feel safe here? oh, absolutely. it is extremely safe. here right, americans ask me all the time if that covers that yours to be safe and americans to be more safe in the city is here. they are whole. i say this a lot of people slides back home. i had a console weapons permit. advocare. you hang on with me everywhere i went. and since i've been here, people ask you, what about your gun rights now? what's the need for it? you don't need a gun here for an american to say that that's really amazing to try are expected. i have a friend from new york and he lives here and he says he got marked on average 3 times a year in new york. it's just,

it's really crazy and i filled the metro's here and people like where the people to . yeah. where's the feet? yes, it dropped out. i'd see the videos that all the time and they always ask the same thing. like me chat has passed a lot of strange questions on tick tock. recently he was asked if it's true that russia had run out of tomatoes. the american media often writes nonsense stories about russian and people believe them. so we decided to drive to the market and see for our center supposed month. oh wow, look at this place. funny on the fish a bill next week. the fisher and 5. yeah. yeah. i think i used to be really nice people. yes. yes. yeah, yes. i have come to spy on your final production. the everybody as a they have to man is here or not. they said russian cake, it's a man and let's take a look. i think there's okay,

so tell me does that look like that's a main audience? the tomato i like. yeah. tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes, all the way down to me is tomatoes, tomatoes. that all the way down command estimate estimate is. yeah. so it's all 1st of all, look at these because i've seen this based on uh on already was look joe, look right over here. a look at the gates. that amazing. got 32 boys, one and one of the belly. okay. we're good. i keep counting kids. i'm so paranoid because of america and america, if somebody would have like, tucked them into their jacket and walked away. yeah. these are very high swings. papa has to be careful not to push you too high. okay. your wife was telling me
