Hope you're well. I'm here with my good buddy and Freedom Fighter

Extraordinare Robert Barnes. Robert, welcome to the show my friend.

Glad to be here. All right, so we have this FOIA request and that this has been going on.

What a year now or so, hasn't it?

Oh yeah, almost two years.

Two years? Yeah, I mean, I I mean because we started this I think late 2020 is when the

whole process began and we went through you know the gave every, I remember the Fed went in and changed the whole rules.

They did that, because they did that almost two years to the day.

I mean, like, as soon as we announced what we're going to do, they went in I think in March of 2021 if I recall right,

and went in and changed the rules to make it more difficult, basically more bureaucratically cumbersome

with more administrative traps just to get the records, any records from the Federal Reserve.

And you know, as we said at the time, maybe it's a coincidence, it's you know after we announce big FOIA of the head but you know

tell you how many coincidences have not exactly been coincidences over the last two years

or last three years. Yeah I I think, yeah, that timeline does sound right because I remember when we first started talking about it, we were grabbing dinner in Vegas.

And I remember that walking through the casino, that was a time when they were making it mandatory for you to wear a mask.

You know, I think I forgot how we got around that, but anyway, I remember that.

Oh, we were eating.

So it was still, you know, the Governor Sisilac, who's now gone, thankfully, from the state capital.

With Sheriff Lombardo replacing him, you can, yeah, it's a cup of, it's going to be a mixed bag,

but that was one of the exceptions, but still then in Vegas was if you were at a restaurant you didn't have to wear a mask.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. So anyway, okay, so we've gotten it is obvious. We knew it was going to be a long process.

We knew nothing was going to happen quickly
