people and the law will prevail. it's not about me. the economy is collapsing, you are destroying democracy. you are leading the country into anarchy. we should have gone ahead with the vote, respect to the will of the romanian people. i strongly condemn what happened today . they destroyed everything that was achieved with great difficulty in the last 35 years. the ccr decision is illegal, immoral and crushed is the essence of democracy. event and son. my are also cited quote, blayton, outside interference, particularly practiced intensively on the x platform. he says, owned by you on mosque who's been cheering for the anti establishment right wing opposition. alternative for germany at the party on the app and the implications as the german voters are basically just a bunch of mindless on these to just do what you learned must says on the former twitter platform. because the f d, resonating with voters couldn't possibly have anything to do with takes like this. what are you doing instead of seeking ties with washington in moscow,

where the keys to piece lie? the chancellor and friedrich merits go to kia, has to waste even more money than before. for administer bare bach santa sizes about deploying german troops to ukraine and risking escalation. while mister murtz wants to risk world war 3 with the delivery of taurus cruise missiles capable of reaching moscow to ukraine, this will turn germany into a direct party to the war. and the target of an impending nuclear conflict. germany in europe should never be drawn into war again. right now, why don't you just heard there is the most personally popular figure in the race for chancellor, that's according to a recent build pool. but it's already looking like stein meyer is limbering up to task democracy right under the digital bus. if he doesn't like the results of the selection and then just cry that social media catfish voters with glamour filters to make the anti establishment opposition look hot or something. i was,

i see all day down archie, the comedies where you can get for the details of all the stories are for long this time i'll see you again by now the i wanted to come here since i was 121 my grandfather and told me his mom came from russia, but i was part russian. i didn't plan on staying this long and 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 rush, i have no desire to go to any other country. the

i've never been here in a row. so 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 judge 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 you like city in russia. the how you doing? pretty good. the joe is an i t program manager. he worked and many large companies, including microsoft, but he gave up everything and moved 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. did 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, 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 a 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 it. i know we don't have a flash, a lot of traditional teachers anyway, the flushing traditional switches 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 helping people going on here. and they actually condition is chosen to do that . and so it's, it's going on and, um, 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 hard at all. oh, actually transgender classes. this is said the art classes are holy, are these parents the children were attending on cost? 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, are available, say the materials and there's things. if you take care, you know, nobody could criticize or not 3 children who will 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. you say something really mean about l g b, d 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 boy's hand. this is like the most traditional in the world, both the boys had and, and their 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 my complaint 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 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 had like one of the best or subpoenaed surgeons like 5 star level hospital rooms, 1300 bucks. yeah, my says 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 so it was like, intense was the looses equity russian see, are you a little russian more to was one of his best with the is high chance we look at in the morning. i'd make money had, 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 breakdown 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 subject 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 to yours. so you love this house. what are some of the learning funny as well.

so we're on the way to meet somebody who is pretty famous here in russia. he's a farmer to 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 tobacco it's good to meet another american. so serious idea who is come. yeah, on the another yang. a story. we're going to go bill to go. all right, awesome. it's hard to believe now, but jay was a famous chest to even go to the rolling stones. he used to run several restaurants

and moscow. he was also a dare devil biker in radio host, but he gave it all a sort of submarine, which he had more in france and bought land in the countryside. then he built a house and moved here to live in a 2 calves. one boil in 3 years will have lead milk. i agreed and there we go. 3 years later the rock starts and what are you going to do? what are the leaders of milk? 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, he 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 in a board and everything was really bad. you mean? so 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,

761, a senior road and more like home. i would start to go to other countries and i just want to get back home to rush. so it's all i say to people, hey, if you could live in a rush, you can leave it 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 culture stammer shaking hands under a doorway. the boxes solves on the table. man, it's thousands of. 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 15th june was probably the garcey. there was this k c a to a communist of info draining all their games on the tv. they were the ones writing

the programs write better than read was of love. it was the to anybody you a long here was economy. anybody out of the variety of was calling is like this never stuff. the russians are killed tv, maybe trump, for president or hillary, clint bailey. they linked our emails and saw the russians form and how many elections and we're going to right. how many o as a session ations of elected officials have we actually done re, re war against the paper because they weren't which are religious st. just the russians available. right. when really wish me like the biggest friends. 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 choosing to rush and j as in suffering from the new sanctions either or so is the change if it's possible.

fussing was thing to wait. serge tabasco sauce made in the usa sanctions or failed. ok. what's the job? yeah, well, i think the same colors. same ice cream. you know, they owe your oil. yeah. 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

oh, i sort of get salt. salt. salt in the road. salt milk. uh yeah. so the milk smell the guys really to me right of here. yeah. the guy said 1st. no that should list. um you got it. you got it. all right, let's see if we can push the james car. let's wrap it for sure to stop. all right. looks like we're good to look at that.

look at this beautiful villas to. wow. what's the key up? the hill 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 a lot of your neighbors come and they buy choose from you. yeah, go, margins are masterclass. they learn how to make jeans. 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 drive. they find out the middle of the country. so yeah, bring home 3 years. we're really not. sure. ok. is there any upgrades or warning room for you? that's it. what do you pay for

a oil change day and like i'm 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 or talk to good morning. few minutes with this is romano like was really good. is this is called to tell you guard so dried tomatoes. bell peppers, the metal metal. grumpy 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 into polls 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, russia 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 it here. so in the role of the frozen as well, you can feel anything. oh no you came. i think you brought this weather with you man. yeah, i'm not going to so i don't know to go back and tell me a little bit about yourself like, ah, well what,

what made you decide to come to russia? i received the asylum and so far as i know, the next man after snowden to get it. and that's american, us embassies and 4 countries that come after me and ms. wild. and so with a couple of theories, the one that most people come to me 1st is like, oh, there's just a bunch of bureaucratic mistakes, but there's no way they rate it. our house in 2002 in cyprus. they have a huge file on my wife. they've interrogated me, they've visited me and bought here in prison. personally, i 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 have a history that june and is approvable, 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 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 anywhere is here to 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 the, 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 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 and as all the fires because when the guy does the sort of things, the only thing is ever fixed. it has massive publicity and i work the social media sometimes sidney daniel, your last gregory is your lovely thing. yeah. i'm

a 49 year old dog man, but that's our social media works. right? yeah, i have to do 50 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 son 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 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 forest or the 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 household 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 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. russia may have, and i don't have to if there's, but maybe they offer me the asylum because i believe russian was part about more case my case than i do. right. and maybe it was a thank you for you know, hey, you had the chance to turn on us when 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, absolutely. this extremely secure for americans asked me all the time if that covers the trust be safe and americans to be more safe in the cities here than they are at home. 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 african 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 who. yeah. where's the feet? yes, it dropped out. i see the videos that all the time and they always ask the same thing . like me chat is 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 that. 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 to the fisher and 5. yeah. yeah. the i used to be on your own. yes. yes. yeah. yes. i have come to spy on your final product to everybody and they have to made it 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 it's a made out in the middle? 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 already was
