11:40 am
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 this is what happened before when birth or the 16th june was probably a little gardening, there was not a c, a to a communist room. full draining all their games on the tv. they were the ones writing the programs right. better denver read was of love. it was the anybody you a long there was economy, anybody out of the variety of was calling. this is never stuff. the russians are killed tv, maybe trump, for president or hillary, clint bailey, they linked or e mails. it's all the russians form and how many elections and we got into right. how many o as in session asians of elected officials have we actually done re,

11:42 am
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 if you think about russia, what does your mind picture the world landscapes open up before your eyes? the last one does, can you imagine the, the discounts dodge the journey? the the you ready to come to
11:43 am

11:45 am
go buy cheese or master class. they learn how to make jeans. oh, they come and learn how to make the james dropping his car off for an oil change. this is a russian brides look at that. doesn't 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. okay. is there any upgrades or warning room 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 dollars, 5 dollars is a good 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,
11:46 am
the rubber down or talk to good morning. few minutes with this is romano like was really good. this is this is called to tell you guard so dried tomatoes, bell peppers speaking. metal metal, crappy with russian shockley. 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,
11:47 am
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 for more here. so in the role of the frozen as well, 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. take it back. so 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 afters note to get it. and that's american, us embassies and 4 countries that come after me is 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,
11:48 am
they visited me and vote here in prison. personally, i came, they tried to make deals. and also whenever can microsoft, i cover in 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 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. you all there and then they said they told a 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
11:49 am
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 is massive publicity. like what the social media sometimes you see the dancer you're going after doing sort of thing. yeah, i'm a 49 year old bad man, but that's options for me to work. right? yeah, i have a little bit 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,
11:50 am
so 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. okay, 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
11:51 am
somebody in the american halogens agency had some kind of wet 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 to do this, but maybe they offer me the asylum because i believe russian is far about more case my chase 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. it is extremely secure. 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. 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 or expected. but i
11:52 am
