TAKE A BELT, TAKE OUT AFTER

Hi,
could someone explain to me these expressions I have read on Steinbeck's "Travels with Charley?:
' "¡Oh, sure! Hardly a day goes by somebody doesn't TAKE A BELT at the Russians". I asked, "Anybody know any Russians around here?" And now he went all out and laughed. "Course not. That's why they are valuable. Nobody cand find fault with you if you TAKE OUT AFTER the Russians".'
Thanks in advance, Jo.
