Oh, that was a slow sensual one. Hey, everybody. Welcome to the Weekender Edition of Mycric Podcast. I'm Jared D. Sexton. Here with Nick Houseman. How you doing, Nick? I'm good. This is the ASMR episode, it sounds like. I've heard from people that they like it. Yeah, it's a good sound. It really is, especially when it's

creation of a fascistic police state. And we've already heard about federal troops going into

these major cities. We'll touch on that a little bit more because

I think that's been very interesting in some of the things I've been hearing and I think you've

been hearing. But there has been a reveal that the Pentagon has been working on a plan that is

being called the quote, domestic civil disturbance quick reaction force. And this is a plan that will keep over 600
