states owns and our abilities, xerox has that sort of influence, then i think we are the super power. and we should have a permanent seat and un security council and a right of vito. we can be stabilize the united states. we can be stabilize us elections. we could bring people to the streets to weaken the state . apparently, that makes us extraordinarily powerful. i think it's quite clear that this is all nonsense, but again, it does say a lot about the inherent weakness of washington and the decline if ignited states that it is always so tearful of, or at these are always tries to claim that someone, those are interfering in their elections, to justify their own behavior and to justify their uh, the, the, the, the, the way in which to the dfacs turn out in the united states. but ultimately,

what it, what it does is to this, just so that what it says is that the united states is a, we can find her over seen that according to us, officials can be in many, collated from a broad as well as the update. now you can get further details of older stories will find like an archie dot com. thanks for watching it by now the the, i wanted to come here since i was 121 my grandfather told me his mom came from russia, but 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 that 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 the rush. i have no desire to go to any other country the ever 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 god's mix 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

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, is 6 states in less than 6 months past these laws that even a 5 year old kid could 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 ramped 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 would, okay. i know they flash a lot of traditional teachers anyway. the flushing traditional switch is out of the system that's filling it up with cuckoos. and these people likes child stressed out that being bullied, so they send them home with, well,

maybe your upset cuz you're actually the rooms. and just like maybe you're 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 scheme out of school that has had some secret classes one recently where they were having hot classes after school every day for a year. and they were actually, they weren't doing hard at all. oh, actually transgender crosses. and this is the, the art classes with our whole year. these parents to children were attending on clock. literally this complete in version. we're perfectly fine shaming you if you're a straight white male. if you have a lot of kids, people to walk up to my wife, make rude comments are available, say the materials and there's things. if you take care, you know, nobody could criticize or coming out to me. children who will behavior is 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

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 that's gonna spend the 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 had like one of the best orthopedic surgeons. like 5 star level hospital room, 1300 bucks. yeah. my says pregnancy ended up being on medicare stay 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 was the looses that good to russian. see, are you a little russian more tables? one of his best with see is high chance we look at in the morning, i'd make money, he'd say, he 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 of this goes sideways for the whole world, the euro,

russia. so you love this house? what are some of the, the learning funny the, so we're on the way to meet somebody who is pretty famous here in russia. he's a farmer, and ex pats 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 cheese production and get to meet some animals on his farm. the back of

the, excuse me, another american to various idea of who is come. yeah. and the another yags a story. we're going to go broke. the goals are i awesome. it's hard to believe now, but jay was a famous shift to even to, to the rolling stones. he used to run several restaurants in moscow. he was also a dear double biker in radio host, but he gave it all of soda submarine, which he had more in france and bought land in the countryside. then he built a house and moved here. go for the city, limits good a. as to gaz one boil in 3 years will have lead to milk. i agreed and dare go 3 years later in the real upstarts. and what are you going to do with your religion mil? that's how j starting 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 many 3 things,

shooting at the white nose and it was there was little money for us was in the hospital as well and a board and everything was really bad. you mean, i couldn't imagine that. another country surviving. i think americans would die hungry. i didn't leave here right away. i came for 10 days and 20 days and 40 days and was 61, a senior road and more like home. i would start to go to other countries and i just want to get back on to russian. so it's home. i say to people, hey, if you're currently in a rush, you can leave it anywhere in the world. it's not easy here. and of course, it's hard, it's not the language of the alphabet of culture ever shake hands under a doorway. so the boxes solves on the table. man is thousands of. i don't believe in the life of the 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 purchase people to leave, but that's what happened before. when birth or the 16th to was problem reasonable. garcey their own is not getting a to communist of info training 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 there was economy. anyone who had a different idea was economy, news like this river stuff. the russians are guilty. they maybe trump to president toward hillary, clint, daily. they linked or e mails installed the russians for how many elections have we got in june, right. how many sessions nations of elected officials have we actually done

re weighed war against the payment because they weren't which regular joe's saint just origins 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 seem to weight. tabasco sauce made in the us. the sanctions are failed. ok. what's the address? 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 us 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 services like in the russian hinterland. kolinski 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. yeah. so the milt smell the guys right. me right of here. yeah. the you guys have to push. push. no, that should the stuff you got it. you got it. all

right, let's see if we can 1st jay's car. what's rocket for shit, the stop looks like we're good. a look at that. a look at this beautiful villas to. wow. look, you up the hill. the amazing place sir, 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 choose or last or class they learn how to make cheese. oh, they come and learn how to make the james drop in 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 that you find out in the middle of the country. so he'll be home 3 years. we're really not sure. ok,

that is the correct answer for you. that's it. what do you pay for oil change j and like m dollars 10 dollars, 10 dollars? oh. 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. talk to good morning to next week. this is romano like wow, it was really good. this is this is called value guard. so

dried tomatoes, bell peppers, the metal metal copy with russian 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 for types, you know, 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 have arrived in russia. i am feeling it to my bones right now. the pills are due to a tough how you doing? what you told me was a frozen as well what you tell me what it was?

i can feel anything. oh no, you came on 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 the asylum and so far as i know in the next man, if there's no need to get it. and that's american us embassies and 4 countries that come after me in the 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 as the i came, they tried to make deals. and also the microsoft. i covered 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 a neighbor history that jude and his approval know because when they try and

recruiters not like they leave behind a business card and say, hey, you know, i'm from the intelligence agency, but very clearly there are 3 recruitment attempts. why is it that the fbi 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. he already lived in europe the and you can prove this. yeah, i do all that. and then they said they told the newspaper, the indictment, they said that i physically kidnapped them, but the problem was that 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 wanna return him. 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, 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 ever kidnapped . and as all of our spe, because when the guy does the sort of things, it's, the only thing is ever fixed. it is massive publicity. i work the social media. sometimes you see the dancer you're going after doing so you're losing things. yeah, i'm a 49 year old, bad man, but that's actually for me to works. right? yeah, i have 150 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 children's list. and chat is still on a 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 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. it is used by the government, right? but it is communication software. when i moved to russia in early 2001 my 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 a good range. okay, so these were close family members, and we lived in the same house phone for many years. and they had basically guess what an american be called top secret type. 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 to give me information. okay. it was never gonna happen. we never discussed this stuff. my family would never give me information about that. i would never ask. russia may have, and i don't have proof of this, but maybe they offer me this island because i believe russian was far about more,

a slight change than i do. right. and maybe it was a 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. extremely right. americans ask me all the time if that covers it towards the safe and americans to be more safe in the cities here than they are whole. i say this a lot of people like back home i had a concealed 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 driver 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 is there a fee to do the videos that all the time? and they always ask the same thing. like me chat is asked

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 russia and people believed. and so we decided to drive to the market and see for our centers to support month. oh wow, look at this place. funny. uh, on the fish. uh you'll see the figure and 5. yeah. yeah. the i used to be on your own. yeah. yeah, yeah. i have come to spy on your plan to to get everybody as a they have to made is here or not. i said russian. okay, just a minute and let's take a look. i think there's okay, so tell me does that look like that's a main audience? that's the the tomato i like. yeah. made is made is tomatoes all the way down to me is tomatoes, tomatoes. then all the way down command estimate is demand is yeah. the this is 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 or look at the gigs. is that amazing? got $32.00 boys, $1.00 and $1.00 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 pop. it has to be careful not to push you to high. okay . your wife was telling me when she's 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 important in america, not all, but it seems like a small force and i'd say are just brain i've never been felt safe for my entire life than living here. moscow is, feels very safe by people help us around the city all the time. and moscow parks 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 going to take the kids from the 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. but 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 house right now. it is just about stabilize it, 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, 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 in writing and 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 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 okay. no, i'm concerned about you, right? the what are your future plans? i am looking for a job. now that i'm asylum i can work here legally,

so that's great. so i'd like to find a public speaking job or maybe something and media on tv, something in saint petersburg. no, because i don't want to move to moscow. mazda is great, but st. petersburg, my job, what do you like most about st. petersburg? why do you like this city? you know, as i've traveled to almost 70 countries, i've lived in 12. and if it's really my favorite city, an entire world, i mean the people here as you see, if you even slightly brush into somebody there to stop 6 to hold the doors feels like you're living in a small town. there's something magical about the city to me, the i'm happy here any time on the little i just want to come back here to religion and country road to deal with one go. it's in my dogs and gads and like change. i love even change. so it's the camp, this guy, and there is where you feel like it don't have to be your last it can be

way along the way or 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, the one 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 to your, you don't want to lease a 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 will absolutely most of it. ready ready the

the it's, it's almost like almost a cliche in the west, but this whole idea of with my, to the last your brain in some truth behind it. i mean think about it for the american $60000000000.00 for the reason. a package, not a lot of money. a lot of money stays within the united states in terms of the defense contracts and the like, and pulled out money that, you know, they buy time, they prolong the war, but keep russia busy. you know, this is the, ultimately, this, what the west is doing is on the file, you know, trying to preserve west and have him and a a,

the line, scott bennett, i'm a former united states army psychological warfare officer. really served in the state department counterterrorism office. under investor del daily. so i wanted to come here to russia in the dawn bass area and gather the facts to take back to the american people for the course or the .
