the souls, because of these monuments that you see everywhere are not getting so they're not monuments to consider government or monuments to the, to the soldiers, to the veterans. you know, if we're going to be offended by everything, every negative part of our history, we have to get rid of everything the, the of wanting to come here since i was 121 my grandfather told me his mom came from russia. i was part russian. i didn't plan on staying this long. i was gonna look around. i was gonna see if it was for me, felt like it. maybe i'll look at some properties come back in a few more years after i'm retired and then just finish out life in russia. but then i came and then i was like, i don't 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 . 9 here in russia, 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 goats and it 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. few months ago he emigrated 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. are you doing pretty good? the joe is an i t program manager. he worked in many large companies including microsoft, but he gave up everything and move to russia with his wife and 6 children. and now they're about to have a 7. so apparently they had a very good reason to relocate. so he talk you interested? 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 child's being abused by not being able to think it was uh, it's 6 states in less than 6 months past. the law says 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 a ramp and is it happening to like everybody have you been threatened with that? no, i'm not an idiot. i 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. okay. i know they flash a lot of traditional teachers anyway. they flushing traditional switches out of the system that's filling it up with cookies. and these people like child stressed out that being bullied. so they send them home with, well, maybe your upset cuz you're actually the rooms and you're like, maybe you are actually just something 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 hot classes after school of every day for

a year. and they would actually, they weren't doing hard at all. oh, actually transgender crosses. and this is fit into our classes with our whole year . these parents to the children were attending on cloth, literally this complete inversion. we're perfectly fine shaming you if you're a straight white male is you have a lot of kids, people to walk up to my wife, make rude comments. all are available, say the materials and things. if you didn't hear, you know, nobody could criticize or coming out to me. children who are behavior is let me see what she says are you out of your mind and she starts playing into me. everybody's terrified there is no freedom of speech in america anymore. you say something really mean about would you be the organization or anything like that? oh, you'll be black doc for life. people had to down no joke. i took a picture of christmas day because we had a boy's hand. this is like the most traditional in the angle world, most of the boys had and then there i be decked with bays and rosemary and

somebody tag this animal rights activist group. put out my name where i worked, who the phone numbers to like, oh, had somebody complain that was that pressure for eating a pigs had by the here in russia, you can say what you think were out loud and 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 or anything like that. talk about it. it was by whatever you're moving on the. what about health? carey, are you all worried about getting like the kids to a doctor or because oh okay, well i told them i'm and this go spend the end of last year and i had to go get a surgery. i was just like, oh, great, awesome. so like 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 1st pregnancy ended up being on medicare stay and i think the bill was a $100000.00. we. i 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 that good to russian. see, are you a little russian more tables? one of his best read the is high chance we look at 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 there was going to be like more on the outskirts of moscow? are 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 breaks out, much, much better to be here. we don't have any kind of defense that could suit anything that 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. hey girls. oh rush. so you love this house. what are some of the,

the learning flooding? 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 should 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 bach. uh. excuse me, another american. so serious idea who is go. yeah, and the another yanks, a story go built to go. all right, awesome. it's hard to believe now the j was a famous shift to even to,

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 up sort of submarine, which he had more in france and bought land in the countryside. then he built a house and moved here. is that, let's get in to cabs one boil in 3 years. we'll have lead milk. i agreed and there we go. 3 years later in the real starts and what are you going to do, which are related to 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 sorts. i got here 93 things, shooting at the white nose and it was there was little money for us was in the hospitals all in a board and everything was really bad. you mean? so i couldn't imagine another country surviving. i think americans would die hungry

. i didn't leave it right away. i came for 10 days and 20 days and 40 days, and then 61, a senior loan going more like home. i would start to go to other countries and i just want to get back home to russian. so it's home, i say to people, hey, if you could live in a rush, you could live anywhere in the world. it's not easy here. i mean, of course it's hard, it's some of the language. so the alphabet of culture ever shake hands under doorway. still haven't the boxes on the table man is thousands of. i don't believe in the life of divine judge wouldn't 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 that's what happened before. when birth i was more assistant to was probably reasonable. gosh, i think there was not k c a to comment or some info draining the way

again from the tv. they were the ones writing the programs way better day. there was a lot of people say to anybody you a long here was economy. anybody out of different idea was economy, news like this never stuff. the russians are guilty. they made the trump for president or hillary, clint bailey, they linked or e mails. it's all the russians for hang on. how many elections have we got in june? right. how many o as a session, nations of elected officials, have we actually done 3 raid war against the payment because they weren't a horrible in which the things that the russians available right. when really rushing, really 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 isn't

suffering from the new sanctions either or so it's oh, dangerous, possible extinguishing. tell. don't wait. tabasco sauce made in the us. the sanctions are failed. ok. what's the job? yeah, well i think the same dollars. same ice cream. you know, the oil you made in the usa. even jay 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 have decided to go with them. i wanna see what car service is like in the russian hinterland. the

he says camp does not want to prolong the war and make it last for years. is even suggested using intermediaries to achieve that. and at the same time camp cleans for greater nato involvement. as usual, zalinski is stuck between a rock and a hard place. the o, i sort of get salt, salt. salt in the road. salt milk. uh yeah. so the milt smell does 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 push the james car. let's rock it for sure to stop by. it looks like we're good to look at that. look at this beautiful village to. wow. look the key up the hill. this is 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 lot of your neighbors coming. they buy choose from you. yeah. go buy jeans or master class. they learn how to make g o they come and learn how to make 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 bring home 3 years. we're really not. sure. ok. is there any upgrades or warning room for him? that's crazy. what do you pay for oil change j and like 10 dollars, 10 dollars, 10 dollars? oh. maybe 5 dollars, 5 dollars is 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. talk to good morning to next week. this is romano like was really good. this is

this is called to tell you and guard. so dried tomatoes, bell peppers, the metal metal. crappy with rush shockley. yes, i'm a sick man. but, you know, don't hold it against the, i'm heading to the northern capital of st. petersburg and 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 for more years old or was it frozen as well? you can feel anything. oh you came, i think you brought this weather with you man. yeah, i'm not good either. 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 asylum, and so far as i know, the next man after his note to get it, and this 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 had a huge fall on my wife. uh, they interrogated me, they visited me and vote here in prison. personally, the i came, they tried to make deals. and also whenever can microsoft, i covered 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 have a history that you 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 attempts. 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 me 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 him 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 as all a 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 you see the dancer you're going after doing sort of the things and yeah, i'm a 49 year old bad man, but that's also tomato works. right? yeah. i have, you know, 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 that's a, this is actual insanity. chad son now lives in the caribbean and he's still on the missing childrens list. and chat is still on the wanted list. were you ever contracted by the government? no, no, never. do you think maybe and this is just me being curious, do you think that perhaps 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, it's communication software. when i moved 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 the floors or the thing, and it's not like they could possibly get access to military technology. they were engineers, they had coverage. 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 secret type. okay. 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 give me information. okay. it was never gonna 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 to if

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 rare. americans ask me all the time if that covers a choice 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. i had to carry, hang on with me everywhere i went. and since i've been here, people asked me, what about your gun rights now? what's the need for it? you don't need a gun. there is an american to say that that's really amazing. the dryer is 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, i drove out. i'd see the videos that all the time and they always ask the same thing

. like me chat is past a lot of strange questions on tick tock. recently he was asked if it's true that russia had run out of tomato. the american media often writes nonsense stories about russian and people believe them. so we decided to drive to the markets and see for our center supposed month. oh wow, look at this place. funny on the fish you'll see the figure and 5. yeah. yeah. they are just really nice people. yeah. yeah. yes. i have come to spy on your plan to to get everybody as a they have to man is here or not? they said russian. okay. just a minute and let's take a look. i think there's okay, so tell me does that look like it's amazing audio? the tomato i like yeah. tomatoes, tomatoes, tomatoes,

all the way down to me is tomatoes, tomatoes, and then all the way down to main estimated 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 gary is that amazing. got 32 boys, one and one of the belly. ok, we're good. i keep counting kids. i'm so paranoid because of america and america. so you would have like tucked them into their jacket and walked away. yeah. either very high swings. papa has to be careful not to push it too high. okay. your wife was telling me when she is on the forms for like mothers and america. yeah. that they talk about not letting their children i guess not giving their children

a gender. oh yeah. that's so weird. yeah. i mean, it's not like, yeah it's, it's amazing really in america, not all, but it seems like a small portion i'd say are just framed i've never been felt safe for my entire life than living here. moscow is feels very safe. my people help us around the city all the time and moscow parts there everywhere. i mean, i've never had so much stuff for my kids to do ever in america the, the kids when they're like by themselves and you like panic, like where's their parents? somebody's gonna take the kids from the given cities. yeah. they had a part for a kid called world of fun. thousands of people over a decade, thousands of kids. it was being run by peter risk. and they were just taking kids and it was never getting reported on like these kids are just disappearing for these theme parks. listen, i'm talking to the use aids here. just save. yeah. in some ways i feel like i've

already fulfilled my dream. i've gotten them out right now. it is just about stabilize. right. so that, that to me is the most important people like want to talk about, you know, oh, it's a, it's a bad thing to do something if you're running away and i get those comments on social media all the time. why did you run? mm. i didn't run i left, you know that this horrible thing that happened with the crocus, right? everybody is like calling me from the states. hey, are you okay huh. and i'm like, what do you mean? should i be calling you every, every week? right? every day i cool. you live in chicago, should i call you on saturdays in the morning? are you okay? one thing has happened, which is truly horrible. but since what the ninety's to 2000. yeah. and, and, and you're calling me to see if i'm ok. no, i'm concerned about you. right the what are your future plans?

so i'm looking for a job now that i'm asylum i can work here legally. so that's great. i like to find a public speaking job or maybe something and media on tv, something and st. petersburg. no, because i don't want to move them off but most was great. but st. petersburg, my job, what do you like most about st. petersburg? why do you like this city? you know, i've, i've traveled to almost 70 countries. i've lived and 12, and it's, it's really my experience of an entire world. i mean the people here as you see, if you even slightly brush into somebody there to something to hold the doors feels like you're living in a small town. there's something magical about the city to me, the map easier any time on the line while i just want to come back in here to religion and country road to deal with my goats and my dogs and cats and like change. i love even change. so it's the camp, this guy,

and that is where you feel i cool it don't have to be your land. it can be way around where you are in wired way or an example to the people our plans. now i'm assuming you're going to go for citizenship. absolutely, and you're not looking back. the sound of you, i get it is, i totally get it. i've got about 6 or 7 people that want to come visit this year, right. but i've warned, every single one of them i said, you know, the worst part about visiting russia is when you get here, you don't want to lease 100 percent. so it's, you want to be a russian citizen. he asked me to about you, joe. you want to be a russian with absolutely, most of it the. ready the

acceptance and i'm here to plan with you whatever you do, do not watch my new shelves. seriously. why watch something that's so different. whitelisted opinions that he won't get anywhere else. welcome to planes or do they have the state department c i a weapons makers, multi $1000000000.00 corporations. choose your fax for you. go ahead. change and whatever you do. don't want marshall state main street because i'm probably going to make you uncomfortable. my show is called direction, but again, we don't wanna watch it because it might just change the way you scott bennett, i'm a former united states army psychological warfare officer, really served in the state department counterterrorism office under investor del

daily the . so i wanted to come here to russia in the dawn bass area and to gather the facts, to take back to the american people, the hold on bass of the front line. so this is where the bombs and the bullets are raging. this is where people are dying, this is where the buildings are exploding, the law. i wanted to see 1st hand the scars of war. the

bragging news will involve in the brain. conflicts have also defines the report on the successful separation of a strategically important areas across the front lines. paul, is that right here? this island can call it load the votes to provide leap in the church, accusing it of collaborating last time and overrides decade on live here, remembers the events of 20 let literally the plugins, the concrete entails through the mood dorothy from power. and i didn't killed the fly for a lot this is the.
