What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 210 & BENKYO RADIO 210. I also included LAMBDA/QUANTUM/GT/TECHNO RADIO 042.

With the latest news about Trump catching COVID-19, I think people who did not take the coronavirus seriously finally will. For months, many of us have been isolated. For months, we have been unable to sit down at our favorite coffee shops and restaurants. We haven’t been able to go to our concerts. Meanwhile, this bunch of idiots at the White House are having big gathering and hugging one another. The majority of us Americans have not been able to hug our parents since March. Doctors and Nurses, can’t hug their kids. People who work on-site, have to come home after a long day of work, throw everything in the laundry, away from the rest of the family, and jump instantly in the shower for decontamination. Secret Service, have had it up to here because Trump wouldn’t wear a fucking mask. And the worst part? Who was in charge of tackling Coronavirus? VP Mike Pence. He was calculating this moment. He’s trying to be the candidate with less than 30 days to go. Well, America won’t forget the 200,000 people who have died of the disease. We need Biden/Harris to get us back to the real world. One more fucking month, guys & gals, one more month. Early voting has already started in many states. Be sure to vote immediately after you receive your ballot in the mail. America’s democracy is at stakes. If you somewhat forget that we are in a constitutional crisis, I suggest you read your copy of the U.S. Constitution once more. C’mon y’all. Russia, China, and North Korea are taking advantage of this shit. Let us assure you that the Intelligence Community and the Military are always on deck and on-call. 30 more days. Joe Biden, get us back on track, please. I thank you, and so does millions of Americans.

Wear a mask!!!

Until next time!

What’s up, everybody! Here are JETLAG RADIO 206, BENKYO RADIO 206, and LAMBDA/QUANTUM/GT/TECHNO RADIO 041.

As I write this, there are 51 days until the Presidential Elections. That’s a month and a half, and a few additional days left until we vote Trump out of office for his unforgivable inexcusable behavior. I watched a recent episode of Real Time with Bill Maher, and a former FBI agent admitted that he is convinced that Trump is compromised by Russia. We cannot afford to have Trump as President for 4 more years. That is too dangerous of a precedence. We must elect Joe Biden as our next president, and restore respect to our great nation. If Young People and Blacks are not excited about the election, I can guarantee you that you won’t like 4 more entire years of Trump. Shall I bust out the calculator? 4 more years of Trump is 1,460 days of Trump. We’ve already had 4 years of this obscure sadistic scary reality show. Do we really want 4 more years? If the answer is no, you better be sure to fill out your mailing ballot and drop it off at polling locations. Listen to AOC. She’s right, the White Nationalists and various fascists/racists/are going to try to swindle this election, and we must not let them. We need to win 270 electoral college votes. We must get over 300. We must win overwhelmingly, and kick Trump out of the White House. Let’s do it. Let’s get it done. Don’t forget that COVID-19 is still going on, so please wear a mask and use social distancing. A vaccine should be ready by 2021.

When you feel like you’re alone and nobody cares, I want you to know that I got your back. Many in the Intelligence Community are tired of this shit, and we will restore order to America this November, but we need the help of the American people. Let us rebuild an America that works for ALL citizens, not just the top 1% of the 1%.

Peace talks are taking place regarding Afghanistan. We need peace in that country. Think of the future generations. And don’t forget about the women and young people of that nation. I hope Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has finally convinced all parties that it is time for Peace. Thanks in advance.

Until next time!

Hi there! I hope everybody is getting into the holiday spirit. I wanted to share with you a show that I found fascinating, it’s called “Atypical.” It might be a great show for you to watch yourself and your family and peers. It’s a great portal for folks who are either on the spectrum, or know people who are on the spectrum. It’s also a great show to share to others when they discredit you for your mental illness. This TV show along with “The Good Doctor” are great attempts to share stories about people who have often been forgotten by society. There always is a stigma towards Mental Illness, this show attempts to fight that. I look forward to more work places who do not discriminate against Mental Illness, because it is against the law, and they will be reprimanded.

I watched the season finale of Silicon Valley! It was quite interesting! Great show, but now, what will be the next Startup show?

Lately, I’m listening to Madeon and Hayden James.

Until Next Time!

Hello there! Well, the Impeachment Hearings are out in full swing. Let’s hope we reach a conclusion soon, because this is simply getting ridiculous, we need to move forward. In any case, despite the Bernie News Blackout on Mainstream Media, the people came in numbers to. show that we will continue to rally besides the best candidate to take out Trump in 2020. Bernie Sanders has been working tirelessly for decades to make all the things that we want a reality. He said that as soon as he becomes President, he will put legislation within the first week for Medicare for All. This is because Americans are tired of the insurance companies making profits on the back of millions of sick people. This must change. This will change.

I got to see Ford vs Ferrari, it was a wonderful movie, I highly recommend it. The next movies I plan to watch are The Report and the new Tom Hanks about Mr. Rogers.

I’m gonna listen to IAM’s new album Yasuke (French Rap). I cannot wait. It’s their latest album in 2 years.

Still playing the new Kojima game. It’s pretty intense. I also really enjoy all 3 campaigns of Fifa 19 so far.

I’m reading a book on Nelson Mandela because…welp, because Barack Obama mentioned it. He might be critical lately of the big movement in America, saying that we’re too liberal, but we’re not. We want Free Tuition, Free Healthcare, revamped VA, better Immigrants rights. Fight Mass Incarceration, and countless other issues. Let’s be frank, right now we have a system where large multi-billion-dollar-banks are getting away with theft. Do you remember that book about the milliseconds transactions that wall-street theft computers are making? They are buying millions of penny stocks, and selling them a little bit higher, and making millions of dollars. That is fucking theft. A normal America cannot do that. If a normal American buys $100/share and gets 3 shares, and it goes up by $25, the poor dude just makes $75. He had to invest 300 whole freaking dollars just to make $75, and that’s if the stock is doing good. The American people deserves better. It’s almost like they need to create a new cheap mutual fund that we all need to invest in. The whole millisecond penny stock buy low sell high is a travesty, and must be investigated. Do you want White Collar Crime to really stop? Then vote for a candidate like Bernie Sanders. Poor kids going to jail over a joint, meanwhile these fat cats are getting away making millions. It’s ridiculous.

Onto a different subject, I am super pumped that the “Dream Race” is happening this weekend. It’s SUPER GT x DTM” It has all the best cars from Germany and Japan. (G & J…GJ, Good Job, get it?).

To all of you, young and old, keep working hard, you can do it, we should be back to normal by 2020. Remember, it’s late November, so December is here, and then it’s January 2020 and thus Elections season.

Big shout out to all the heroes around the world who keep us safe. Don’t forget, while we all have quarrels during Thanksgiving about how bananas Trump is or is not, these military men and women are stuck in weird places around the world, and only get to talk to their loved ones via webcam. Sometimes when you go into an airport, they ask you if you want to buy a military person something. Please buy them a telephone card, so they can call their loved ones. I thank you.

Don’t forget the usual PSA spiel, for Thanksgiving weekend, make sure to have a designated driver, use Uber, Lyft, Cab, Bus, Train, etc.

Until Next Time!
